Finally, after a long journey, we arrived at Chang'an, the largest city in the world.
Looking at the majestic Chang'an City, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel a little fascinated.
Just getting closer and closer, Xu Yunyan shook his head when he saw that some parts of the city wall were in disrepair and no one was repairing them.
"This is the capital of a dynasty? Isn't it child's play? Why don't you repair it? No wonder Li Shimin will not be able to rely on manpower to defend the city during the Weishui Alliance in the future.
There are many places that are so dilapidated that no siege equipment is needed. A few people can climb up together. Does this still look like a capital city?
I know that the Tang Dynasty is currently recuperating, but how can you recuperate and recuperate when you don’t have complete facilities to ensure your own safety? "
After Xu Yunyan complained here, it was their turn to enter the city. However, before entering the city, Xu Yunyan and his party had been reported that the entire team was manned by the commissioner who came to present gifts to His Majesty. After the team entered the city, they were directly Under the leadership of a chamberlain, the crowd came out and walked towards the imperial city.
The Imperial City is located to the north of Chang'an City. For convoys coming from the south, the fastest way to go to the Imperial City is to take Zhuque Street. But walking on Zhuque Street, Xu Yunyan was worried.
It's not that you can't walk on Zhuque Street. It's a main road in Chang'an City. Passers-by, merchants, and residents in Chang'an City mostly use Zhuque Street to enter and exit the city. However, Zhuque Street is 150 meters wide, and no one is allowed in the middle. Only dignitaries and those with special orders from His Majesty can walk through the center of Zhuque Street.
Now Xu Yunyan and his team escorting Haiyan were marching on Zhuque Street with such high spirits. Xu Yunyan couldn't help but be frightened. What's more, Xu Yunyan wanted to dismount, but the servant stopped him and allowed them to ride on horseback to escort them on Zhuque Street. Haiyan quickly headed to the Imperial City.
Not sure what was going on, Xu Yunyan quietly came to the chamberlain's side, painfully took out a gold ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into the chamberlain's hand.
"My lord, I don't know what your majesty means. People who have made great contributions to Zhuque Street cannot walk from here. How dare I, the team who came to offer gifts, dare to walk on this Zhuque Street? I hope your Excellency can give me some advice."
Xu Yunyan was so careful and concealed. The servant smiled and stuffed the gold ingot handed over by Xu Yunyan into his arms, and raised his hand to Xu Yunyan, "So that Lord Xu knows, isn't this a great achievement of yours?"
With such auspiciousness in the country, isn't it natural that His Majesty decrees that you should walk through Suzaku Street and let everyone know that this is right? "
"The auspiciousness of the country is..."
After the chamberlain finished speaking, Xu Yunyan was a little surprised. Why was the auspiciousness of the country involved again?
"Could it be this sea salt?"
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he pointed to the carriage behind him. The chamberlain smiled, "Isn't that true? Who can produce so much sea salt in the rest of the month? Isn't this the auspiciousness of the country? Our entire city of Chang'an cannot transport it in a year. So much salt to come.
As a gift to His Majesty, you produced so much salt in more than a month. His Majesty was extremely happy, so he issued a special order to escort the Haiyan team from Chuzhou through the center of the main road of Zhuque Street. "
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was what happened.
However, Xu Yunyan just breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered something unusual on both sides of Zhuque Street. On one side, there were several generals with golden helmets and some black armor that were slightly more sophisticated than those of Zhechong Mansion or other lobby soldiers, marching alongside them. , and kept looking at the supplies in their convoy.
On the other side were several civil servants and several generals, who were also pointing and pointing. After the two parties looked at each other, they wanted to go forward and fight, which surprised Xu Yunyan.
He cautiously asked the chamberlain again, "Sir, are these adults here?"
"Oh?" After looking around casually, the waiter said oh and then said to Xu Yunyan.
"Over there are the generals and Xuanjia Army of the Prince of Qin's Palace, and on this side are the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness. They all heard about the auspiciousness of this country and went to the gate of the imperial city to see what the scene was like."
Hearing what the chamberlain said, Xu Yunyan sighed in his heart.
"The Crown Prince and the King of Qin are really fighting against each other, but I have to be careful during this period of time. I remember that Li Shimin once played a bitter trick. I don't know when, but this is so far away from the Xuanwu Sect. After a few years of hard work, you must not let yourself get involved in this dispute. Although you want to be with Li Shimin, in these two tumultuous and bloody years, don't let your head accidentally fall into nowhere. "
Xu Yunyan thought this way, and the entire team escorting the sea salt had followed the servants to the Nanzhimen gate of the south gate of the imperial city. This Nazhimen is indeed the most magnificent gate in and out of the imperial city. Some soldiers with excellent armor and extraordinary arrogance are guarding here. With.
Seeing Xu Yunyan and his convoy approaching, he stopped them directly, and Xu Yunyan also understood what this meant.
His Majesty did not come, and even if His Majesty did come, they would not be able to enter the palace. Immediately, Xu Yunyan gathered the carriages together and looked at the nearly a hundred carts of sacks. Although he knew that there was salt in them, the onlookers Still can't help but whisper here.
But just as they were whispering, someone from the Prince Qin's Palace and the Prince's side came towards Xu Yunyan. It was so noisy that Xu Yunyan didn't know who to go to.
However, the proud soldiers under Xu Yun's command did not get used to the people who casually walked up to the side of Haiyan's motorcade and hurriedly stopped them outside.
This moment made the two officials from different forces who came closer a little surprised. However, they looked at each other and saw that each other had been stopped, and then retreated angrily. After retreating, they did not say anything. Xu Yunyan felt relieved.
However, these Zichongfu soldiers did not care about Xiao Jiujiu in Xu Yunyan's heart. Instead, they talked to each other there.
"Our Commander-in-Chief has said that no matter who comes to establish relations with us, the only one we are loyal to is Your Majesty."
Although these people's voices were very soft, they were really close to the chamberlain. The chamberlain couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but Xu Yunyan was a little confused.
"What's going on? Why did you laugh suddenly? Is your Majesty here?"
Xu Yunyan hurriedly looked up at the top of the city, and sure enough, a bright yellow figure appeared on the top of the city. As Xu Yunyan saw this figure, someone on the top of the city shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is here!"
