After the battle of Jingkang, Zhao Gou rebuilt the imperial city in Lin'an.
Different from the traditional north-south orientation, the palace in Lin'an Prefecture faces south.
This is probably one of Zhao Laojiu's methods to deceive the world, so that everyone knows that he is always staring at the north and never forgetting the north.
Over the years, even people like Han Shizhong have been able to see some clues. Only Yue Fei, like a fool, really thought that his Majesty the Emperor wanted to regain the Central Plains.
Every time the Jin people wanted to negotiate peace, Lao Jiu would kick him away.
When the golden man came over, he picked him up and used him again.
The way he comes and goes as soon as he is summoned is like a young lady whose body was deceived by someone, and she always has illusions about the unfaithful man.
Passing through the Daqing Hall is the Inner Palace Gate. Walking all the way through the Funing Hall area, you arrive at the Little West Lake near Hening Gate.
This is Zhao Gou's garden and the area where the Xuande Hall is located.
Although the palace is not very symmetrical, the location is not right, and there are not even enough rooms...
During the Zhuangyuan Palace Examination, the eunuch replaced the plaque of Daqing Palace and installed the plaque of Jiying Palace;
When the emperor's birthday comes, it will be replaced by the Zichen Palace, and when he pays homage to his ancestors of the Zhao family, it will be replaced by the Mingtang Palace...
Although everything was not suitable, for Liu Bang, this palace was really comfortable.
Small but complete.
If I had known earlier, I would have moved my capital to another place... Compared with this place, the land of Western Qin is really not a happy place.
There are two pavilions on Xiaoxi Lake, and Liu Bang chose the one in front of Xuande Hall.
Now he is leaning on Wang Jieyu's legs to catch up on his sleep, letting Wang Chan's fingers roam around on his head. The young monk Daoji and the wife of that kind of family don't know what they are talking about, and the cicadas are very noisy. Yes, the noisier it is, the easier it is to sleep.
In this situation, Liu Bang suddenly felt that he understood Zhao Gou somewhat.
If there is no war, there is no need to be afraid, no need to worry about life, and judging from the officials of the Song Dynasty, there is no need to worry about rebellion.
He himself doesn't have the guts to stay. With things like this, this kid may have lost his temper a long time ago.
Being able to maintain the comfortable life he has now is probably his greatest wish.
I never thought of this... Liu Bang's hands wandered around Wang Chan's back, making Wang Jieyu blush in broad daylight.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m hot or ashamed.
In fact, it's not impossible for me to live like him.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Liu Bang couldn't help but slap himself in the face.
If he doesn’t have the guts, you don’t have the guts either?
Just when His Majesty the Emperor was thinking about whether he should prove his ability.
The old eunuch appeared again.
"Go ahead and get out of here after you finish speaking."
Without even daring to raise his head, the old eunuch said:
"Guan Jia, Yang Dushi is waiting outside. He has been waiting for a long time."
Liu Bang sat up and looked at the corridor. There was really only one person standing there.
"Why didn't you come and report earlier?"
As he said that, he walked over.
"I wanted to say something just now, but the officials were taking a nap and didn't dare to disturb me."
I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him. It's such a hot day and he's wearing such heavy armor. I don't know how long this kid has been standing here.
After bringing him in, Liu Bang pointed at his nose and scolded him again.
This wood!
After he finished scolding, Yang Yizhong was about to speak, but was stopped by Liu Bang:
"Drink this, it will feel cooler."
The lotus seed soup made by Shangshi Bureau was Zhao Gou's favorite summer soup in the past.
Yang Yi was so moved that the holy family was here, and drank it all in one sip.
"What a rough man. Such a good thing is like a cow drinking water."
Seeing that he was embarrassed again, Liu Bang asked:
"Aren't you supposed to go see Yue Yun? Why are you coming back?"
Yang Yizhong bowed and said, "I've already met you when I returned to the official's house. This is about the Sibei Tower."
"Oh?" Liu Bang became interested instantly, "Have you inquired clearly?"
"Some things still need to be verified, but the owner of Sibei Tower is indeed full of doubts."
With that said, Yang Yizhong introduced Liu Li.
This man entered Lin'an in the second year of Shaoxing, which was more than nine to ten years ago... At that time, there were still many people fleeing from the north and the south, but most of them were poor people with no family background.
Only this man was different. He came from the sea. After entering Mingzhou, he bought seven local shops and two large ships.
A person with such financial resources could actually leave so much money on the way from north to south. Not to mention it is completely impossible, but it is no different from how difficult it is to reach the sky.
At that time, the Puppet Qi Dynasty was still there, and there were still wars and chaos along the coast. In addition, the Jin soldiers and bandits along the way, other passers-by who came with them on the way, and the various government officials who entered the Song Dynasty...
Like Lao Wangtou, he still dares to extort money from the Emperor's feet, let alone other places.
But unfortunately, this man had no relatives or friends, and no acquaintances from his hometown. In just a few years, he established his business in Lin'an.
Na Si Bei Tower can be regarded as a famous place in Lin'an City.
Moreover, the time of this person's arrival was quite coincidental, just after the emperor arrived in Lin'an and decided to make his capital here.
In addition, Liu Li was quite powerful in both the Song and Jin Dynasties. When the Huaixi army changed in the seventh year of Shaoxing, Li Qiong, the one who led more than 40,000 Xiang Guangshi to surrender to the puppet Qi, was thinking about it that month. I spent ten nights drinking on the Mingzhou boat in the North Tower.
The former prime minister Lu Yihao, who was posthumously given the title of Grand Master and Duke of Qin by Zhao Gou when he died two years ago, who made great contributions during the Miao and Liu rebellions, also stayed in Sibei Tower for a few days the year before his death.
Such a person is not well-known in Lin'an City, and others don't even know what he looks like.
This in itself is unreasonable.
Liu Bang thought about Liu Li's ability. He dared to say that he could help him cross the river after knowing that he had offended Qin Hui. He was not an ordinary person.
But he didn't expect that even the prime minister and rebel generals of a country would interact with him.
It's better to keep it simple for yourself.
"Do you have any idea about this person's true origin?"
Yang Yizhong shook his head: "At present, it is judged that he is the Jinren's spy in Song Dynasty, but what is the specific situation? Did he be taken away, and then..."
"I don't know how many accomplices he has, so don't disturb him yet."
"Guan family, will you continue to send people to keep an eye on me?"
"Stare, of course you have to keep an eye on it," Liu Bang called Dao Ji over and touched his head.
Knowing that the emperor liked to touch the little monk's head when he was thinking about something recently, Yang Yizhong stopped talking and waited for instructions.
"Tell me again about the good things Xiang Guangshi and his father did back then."
Yang Yi was born in the middle army and lived in the same northwest as the two of them. He knew the story of the father and son very well, and without any prompting, he started with the glorious deeds of Xiang Yanqing.
While Liu Bang listened, he said to Dao Ji:
"Tell me again what you said to me that day."
