Hundreds of houses are like a chess game, and twelve streets are like vegetable beds. ------Tang Bai Juyi's "Climbing the Guanyintai and Looking at the City"

It is said that Chen Long entered Beigong at night, eliminated a foolish emperor, and returned the idiot Han Ling Emperor of the Han Dynasty. During the day, Chunyu Qiong specially invited members of the Yellow River Gang, the largest gang in Luoyang, to the inn to kill Chen Long but failed, so he escaped. At night, he bravely went to the Han Ling Emperor to report, but was scolded by the Han Ling Emperor. Shower head.

Chunyu Qiong came back from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and scolded his men to vent his anger. He did not dare to let the imperial guards launch a citywide search, so he had to randomly let his men lie in ambush at the city gate and at the base of the city wall to prevent Chen Long from climbing over the wall at night. He was in the mansion, staring at the short Zheyue Crossbow in his hand in trance. The short arrow came out of the throat of the spy who was shot by Chen Long during the day, and became the only clue to find Chen Long.

Chunyu Qiong stayed up all night and finally came up with a plan to continue chasing Chen Long. Early the next morning, I went to Nangong to wait for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. He wanted to report the follow-up actions to his master, which was considered to be a very exhausting effort. Finally, when Emperor Han Ling ascended to the throne, the strange thing was that Emperor Han Ling seemed to be in poor health today. He helped Queen He all the way to the throne and let Queen He sit beside him.

All the officials had finished paying their respects, but there was no movement from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Why did he enter and exit the squad and said: "Your Majesty, it was unfavorable for Lu Zhi to exterminate the Yellow Turbans that day. Now it has been clarified and found to be true for his crime of deliberately delaying the war and neglecting the morale of the army. According to the law, It should be beheaded, and I plan to ask for an edict to make a decision."

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was dumbfounded and seemed to be listening, but did not respond for a long time. He Jin bowed and waited for a long time, but saw no movement. He raised his eyelids to observe strangely. Empress He secretly smiled secretly, pinched Han Ling Emperor's waist, and said a few words: "Amnesty to the world."

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty felt pain in his waist and eyes. He suddenly sat upright and shouted loudly: "Amnesty to the world! Amnesty to the world!"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately exploded and buzzed everywhere. Zhao Zhong hurriedly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty has spoken sincerely, and he will grant a general amnesty to the world from now on. He will pardon Lu Zhi's death penalty, release him immediately, and order him to return home!"

Chunyu Qiong was dumbfounded as she listened below, wondering why the emperor changed his gender overnight? He Jin looked innocent and depressed. Seeing that the matter had come to an end and he had no serious enmity with Lu Zhi, he had no choice but to go with the flow and Xie En retired to the imperial class.

The officials slowly withdrew from the court. Chunyu Qiong was a little anxious. When he saw Empress He leading Emperor Ling of Han to stand up, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have one more matter that I would like to report to the Emperor privately."

Zhao Zhongsu knew that Chunyu Qiong was the emperor's spy leader and did not dare to stop him. Queen He led Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to stand still and said, "Chunyu Aiqing, what do you have to say?"

Chunyu Qiong was speechless. Seeing that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had a stupid look on his face, he did not object to Queen He standing by his side. She thought that the emperor was not shy about letting Queen He know about the matter. She gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I have arranged everything and set up a net to capture him." Chen Long. Here is the plan, I hope your majesty will approve it." He said and presented a bamboo slip with both hands.

Queen He reached out to take it, stuffed it into Han Ling Emperor's arms and said: "Capture Chen Long? Is this the new governor of Jiaozhou?"

"Back to your Majesty, that's right."

Empress He frowned and said, "As a woman, I don't want to interfere with these matters in the court. But the emperor just said that the world would be amnesty, didn't you hear? No matter what Chen Long's crime was, his crime has been forgiven, and there is no need to pursue any further investigations."

Chunyu Qiong was shocked and depressed when she heard this, wondering why everything had changed. He stared at the emperor blankly, but couldn't get any feedback. Empress He suddenly smiled coquettishly at Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty, look at this person, he will not listen to you anymore! You always ask for a general amnesty, right?" As she said this, she secretly touched the waist of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty with her delicate jade fingers. A pinch.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty suddenly stood up straight and said loudly: "Yes, yes, yes, amnesty to the world! Amnesty to the world!"

Queen He led Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to turn around and leave, no longer paying attention to Chunyu Qiong. Chunyu Qiong hurriedly knelt down and buckled his head to send the emperor off respectfully. When I looked up again, the building was empty and the main hall was empty. Chunyu Qiong's eyes were wide and round, and she was clenching her back molars, leaving only a look of suspicion.

The words were divided into two parts. Chen Long and others did not know everything that happened in the capital. They traveled for three days, got off the boat at Fenglingdu, and continued towards Chang'an, the most powerful city in the world. Along the way, we visited Huashan Mountain in Xiyue. While we were deeply moved by the beautiful nature, our tense nerves finally relaxed and everyone started talking and laughing. Before dusk, a few people finally saw a corner of the golden city under the setting sun.

"There is Rome in the west and Chang'an in the east." Chang'an is definitely a first-class majestic city in the world. After Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, established the Western Han Dynasty, he established his capital in Chang'an after being persuaded by Zhang Liang, Lou Jing and others. The capital was built on the basis of the capital city of Chang'an in the Qin Dynasty and along the Wei River. Because the Alpan Palace was burned by Xiang Yu, the Qin Xingle Palace was renovated and changed to Changle Palace. The Weiyang Palace was built on the basis of Qin Zhangtai, and the Mingguang Palace was built successively. , Beigong, Guigong, Shanglinyuan, etc. The capital is nearly a hundred miles in circumference, and its layout is very neat. The northwest part of the city is mainly residential areas, and the rest is lined with palaces. It is divided into three parts: the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city. Eight rivers, namely Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Jian, Pou, Chan and Ba, flow continuously around the city of Xi'an, forming the so-called beautiful landscape of eight rivers surrounding Chang'an.

Chen Long led everyone to the fortified city. They saw the high city wall stretching far along the moat, with no end in sight. Standing under the city, people were like ants. There were several towers on the city wall, and soldiers on the lookout were scattered in twos and threes. There were defenders at the suspension bridge and the city gate. Fortunately, several of them had official Han Dynasty road guides, so they crossed the majestic Xuanping Gate and entered the Waiguo City without incident.

The outer city is a residential and commercial area for civilians and bureaucrats, guarding the imperial city and palace city from the north. The residential area is famous for its famous squares, and the commercial area is famous for its cities. The squares and cities are arranged in a well-proportioned manner. A straight avenue leads directly to the east and west cities in the west.

A few people were walking slowly on the street, and saw that there were many buildings on the right side of the street. From time to time, there were horizontal streets with banners hanging on them, stretching from north to south to the edge of the north city, and they were very crowded. On the left side of the street, the red wall stands tall, and the palaces and pavilions of Mingguang Palace can be seen in the distance, shining dazzlingly in the sunset.

A few people chose a busy street to walk, looking at the city scenery along the way and looking for a suitable inn to stay. Seeing a large house on the street, the pavilions and pavilions inside were very neat. A huge plaque was picked out with the four characters "Tongwen Inn" written on it. Chen Long thought of Qin Shihuang's book Tongwen and the carriage on the same track. It seemed that the inn The owner admired Qin Feng very much, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to turn into the inn.

Several people were wearing ordinary casual clothes, and the waiter was busy welcoming them. Lu Chang asked for some of the best rooms. The waiter was in awe and hurriedly asked someone to call the innkeeper to receive him.

After a while, the boss came over. He was about fifty years old, with a slim appearance, a mustache, three short beards, long thin eyebrows, big eyes with heavy eyelids, and he looked very worried. After greeting him, he introduced himself as Zhong Mingyu, a native of Yingchuan. He arrived in Chang'an in his prime and started business first, and then ran an inn. After that, he personally led everyone into the guest room.

Chen Long asked Guo Jia and others to rest on their own. Zhang Ning was a little tired from climbing the mountain. He leaned on the pillow and said, "Boss Zhong seems to have something on his mind."

Chen Long took off his outer robe, fell sideways next to Zhang Ning, and said with a smile: "Let's take care of other people's business, just take care of ourselves. I have a sore waist and backache, so you give me a slap on the back." As he spoke, he took Zhang Ning's beautiful hand and started to nibble on it.

Zhang Ning pretended to refuse, but in the end he couldn't resist Chen Long, so he had to gently beat Chen Long's back. After running around for days, she had gradually freed herself from the failure of the Yellow Turban and the death of her relatives. She began to talk and laugh with everyone, and she returned to the appearance of the clever and resourceful saint, but she was more humble and approachable than before.

Chen Long enjoyed Zhang Ning's massage while looking up information about Chang'an Prefect Zhong Shao Zhong Shenfu. The investigation was boring, but I suddenly remembered that Chang'an is the administrative seat of Yongzhou, and the person who talks about things here should be the governor of Yongzhou. Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled and killed Chen Yi, the former governor of Yongzhou. Now we don't know who is temporarily taking charge of Yongzhou here? Not far to the west of Chang'an, it has fallen into the hands of the rebels of Han Sui and Bian Zhang. All officials in Chang'an are probably looking forward to the arrival of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo's troops to put down the rebellion, otherwise they will have trouble sleeping.

Chen Long suddenly thought that it took him three days to get here. I am afraid that the armies of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are already ready to go, but he wonders whether Sun Jian will follow the bandit general Zhou Shen to Chang'an?

Everyone was a little tired after climbing Huashan Mountain, so they had dinner at the inn and asked Boss Zhong to arrange it. During the dinner, when asked about the candidate who would temporarily lead Yongzhou, Boss Zhong suddenly sighed.

Chen Long and Zhang Ning looked at each other and knew that Boss Zhong's concern was actually related to the person who acted as the governor of Yongzhou. Chen Long asked: "Boss Zhong, is it the general who temporarily leads Yongzhou who is giving you a hard time?"

When Boss Zhong asked, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's not me, it's my nephew Zhong Yao. To be honest, my nephew Zhong Yao originally worked in Yongzhou and served as an official in Chang'an for many years. Yesterday, for some unknown reason, he was appointed as the new governor of Yongzhou. Li Jue was arrested on trumped-up charges and sent to prison. So I am troubled."

Chen Long was slightly startled after hearing this, then blurted out and asked: "Li Jue, Guo Si?!"
