Luoyang.
Suzaku Street.
Lingyun Pavilion.
Warm spring has arrived.
Tourists and common people gradually took off their heavy winter clothes and exhaled the suffocation of the year in the soft and warm spring breeze.
Going to the market every third day today.
People were coming and going on the street, including those shouting loudly, storytellers in teahouses, singers singing while drinking, and others wandering around the market shouting...
Yang Lin was not in a hurry as he was chasing the energy in the dark. He turned left and right, looking at the bustling city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and comparing the humanities and customs that were very different from his own Jiangnan area, thinking, If the army goes north, would it be better to build the capital in Luoyang or Chang'an?
Jiangdu Palace is not a suitable place to rule the country and run the cardinals in any way.
If you live there and there is an invasion from the north or west, it will take a long time to send a message, let alone dispatch troops to deal with the invasion.
Originally, Chang'an was a pretty good place.
However, that place is a bit far away from the Central Plains, and food transportation is also a problem. If there is a real famine, Luoyang will be needed to turn over various supplies.
Extremely inconvenient.
What's even more troublesome is that where Chang'an is located, the Longxi sect has been in business for too long, and Han and Hu people live together. There will be all kinds of xenophobic sentiments from top to bottom.
If you go there to build a capital, you will be asking for trouble.
Li Yuan could establish his capital in Chang'an because that place was his hometown and everyone was from the same village.
Just looking at him makes me feel friendly.
Whether it is the psychology of returning home from wealth, or the choice based on the difficulty of ruling.
Li Yuan chose Chang'an as the best choice.
But Yang Lin couldn't learn from him.
Based on geographical location alone, Yang Lin felt that he still preferred Luoyang.
Yang Guang loved Luoyang and had his own reasons for moving the political center here.
Later, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the center of gravity also shifted to Luoyang. Wu Zhou simply started a new business in Luoyang. All political orders were initiated from here, which was also an inevitable choice of history.
If you want to make the entire country prosperous and safe, it is undoubtedly appropriate to place your heart here.
Yang Lin walked with his hands behind his back in the bustling crowd. No one around him would notice him. Even if his eyes touched him, they would naturally slide away.
It seems that what is passing by is not a person, but a ray of wind and a ray of sunshine.
Nothing worth paying attention to.
After he stepped into the Grand Master, he found this realm more and more interesting.
Being able to integrate with the surrounding spiritual energy and vitality anytime and anywhere, as if being here and there, omnipresent and nowhere to be found.
No wonder there are always experts in the world, but they are rare to find in the ordinary world.
Yang Lin figured out another phenomenon.
At this stage of his life, he has even been able to do it. If he wants not to be seen, he can not be seen.
Turning a blind eye but not hearing, hearing but not hearing, mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonderful things.
He closed his eyes slightly, his brows sparkling with golden light.
Yang Lin discovered a few things that were obviously wrong with the Qi movement.
One place is where the palace walls overlap. It is heavily guarded and has a lot of energy pulling it. There seems to be a vague feeling of familiarity there.
He knew that it was the manpower of the Dugu family.
In other words, it was Dugu Feng, You Chuhong and others. The force they supported was of course the Yue King Yang Tong.
After Yang Guang's death, Yang Tong was made emperor by the officials in Luoyang, serving as a puppet emperor and a symbol.
This is the result of a compromise between all parties.
However, the world is right to see it this way, but Yang Tong himself obviously does not see it this way.
He didn't know what method he had come up with or what conditions he had promised to make the Dugu family do their best to support him.
As the minister of the dynasty and also the Duke of Zheng, Wang Shichong would certainly not allow some things to escape his control.
On the surface, it is naturally difficult for him to compete with the Dugu clan.
But he has his own way.
When he led troops to fight around, he met many people and made friends with them.
For example, Ouyang Xiyi, the great Confucian Wang Tong, Nanhai Chao Gongcuo and others are all masters he can win over.
In terms of personal force, he can quickly even the distance with the Dugu family.
And, the most powerful thing is that Luoyang's hundreds of thousands of troops are also in his hands, so he has the upper hand.
While Dugu Feng and others were facing a formidable enemy, Wang Shichong and others still had time to occupy a beautiful and elegant garden in the east of the city, watching what happened by the Suzaku Bridge.
Everyone was sitting around drinking, looking at the street scene below through the railings. Next to them, a woman with extraordinary beauty was playing the piano and singing with a smile.
Everyone was so mesmerized by what he heard that they stopped eating delicious food in their hands for a moment and forgot to observe the identities of the passers-by.
Shang Xiufang was famous all over the world and was known as everyone. When she came to Luoyang, no one else could invite her.
Even if Wang Shichong wanted to invite her, he would have to make an appointment.
However, Rong Fengxiang can.
The richest man in Luoyang has always had far-reaching plans and has invested heavily in many people early on.
Even if Gao Jie is a famous musician like Shang Xiufang, he still owes his family a favor.
Facing the invitation from the Rong family, I had no choice but to come and play the piano and sing.
Of course, the main reason why these masters of martial arts and court officials gathered at the Rong family for a banquet was not to hear Shang Xiufang sing, but to see how Cihang Jingzhai acted.
The rumors that Cihang Jingzhai selected the Lord of All Peoples have become more and more evil these days.
The news that He Shibi is about to appear again has spread among the people.
Some things are better believed to exist than not believed to exist.
Not only Wang Shichong is concerned.
All forces have sent people here.
Xue Ju and his son, who had just been defeated by Li Shimin, as well as Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, two guys who relied on foreign forces, did not give up hope.
Even Li Mi, who was about to start a war with Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, who was in Hebei Province, also sent their men here.
Obviously, even they were very dissatisfied with Cihang Jingzhai's actions.
Deep down in my heart, I don't dare to despise it at all.
Those nuns are not just nuns. Cihang Jingzhai represents the two branches of Buddhism and Taoism, and represents the whole world of white Taoism.
Once the momentum is established, no matter which force you choose, that person will immediately attract the attention of the world and become the orthodoxy of all people.
Although most forces are self-aware and think that it is difficult for them to be selected.
However, no one can avoid taking chances.
What if?
If you are favored by those little fairies, wouldn't it mean that you will have to work harder for many years?
Wang Shichong, as a local snake, is not immune to this.
While listening to the music, listen carefully.
Although he looked intoxicated on the surface, his mind had quietly peeked out.
He could hear the chatter in the streets.
"Ning Daoqi is dead."
Suddenly, a scream came from the bridge.
There was a loud exclamation all around.
"Not only is the Grand Master Ning Daoqi, but also the Jing Nian Zen Monastery is empty, so the situation is probably more dire." A middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman swore pointing to the sky.
He was afraid that others would not believe it, so he added: "Last night at the end of the Chou period and the beginning of the Yin period, the villain was setting up a net by the lake in the eastern suburbs. At that time, he was also afraid of disturbing the fish, so he stopped breathing and waited quietly.
Unexpectedly, before the fish got up, he heard the peaks shaking and trees falling not far away. He also saw day and night.
You have to believe that I am used to walking at night, and my eyesight is very good. At that time, I saw the old Taoist priest turn into thousands of little birds, and then turn into a huge bird, rushing towards the flaming red lotus.
As a result, the whole body was beaten to pieces, and after a while, it exploded into a pool of blood, and even the whole body was not saved. "
"It's true. I went out early in the morning to find some game, and I saw five characters engraved on the wooden sign, Ning Daoqi's Tomb.
The five big characters, with iron strokes and silver hooks, looked like they were carved by masters. Moreover, I also saw that the forest in that area had been destroyed to a great extent, and the hillside seemed to be shorter. "
A man with an open shirt said lively in front of the butcher shop.
Someone above the tea house said cautiously: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. Do you know Zen Master Liao Kong from Jing Nian Zen Monastery?
It's that old monk who has lived for nearly a hundred years and looks like a rejuvenated eighteen-year-old...
He was a man who tested his abilities and participated in creation, but someone pierced his heart with a pure prayer bead and died.
What? You suspect this is fake, it can't be possible.
Guess what, less than half of the monks in the Jing Nian Zen Monastery have already escaped down the mountain.
All of them carried packages and traveled far away. I heard that they wanted to remain anonymous.
Because when the big devil attacks, they are not willing to stay in the monastery and wait for death. "
A young man dressed like a waiter said this mysteriously.
In fact, there was no need for him to say much. At this moment, the news had spread all over Luoyang.
"You ask who the murderer is, who else could it be?"
"There are only a few people in the world who are qualified for Grand Master Ning Daoqi and Zen Master Liaokong to take action at the same time.
There is only one person who cannot deal with Buddhism and Taoism. Can't you guess? "
"Is it the big devil from the south?"
"Of course it's him, hush, don't call him the Big Devil..."
I heard that the patron king Yang Lin has conquered the Yingui sect, and now there are their spies everywhere in the city. If you offend them, you will die without knowing how. "
