Chapter 2 Longdu
Liu Xia and his party set out from the northwest towards Longdu.
Along the way, I passed a lot of places, and the local officials naturally came out to make a tpart.
Liu Xia is naturally very willing, which is a legitimate income.
By the way, it took Dabao and others to swim in the mountains and rivers and procrastinate. It took them a month and a half to reach Tianbao Province, the center of the Tianji Dynasty.
Tianbao Province is the political, economic and cultural center of the Tianji Dynasty. When you come here, you can see the weather here, which is really different from other places.
Because this is the land of the emperor, which is very prosperous.
Even if it is a small county, the gate will not be closed at night.
In the official road, what is most seen is not the post office, but the caravan that does not see the head in the front and the back.
Longhu Mainland, the top ten companies, have seven headquarters, set up here.
Most of these caravans will hide far away when they see Liu Xia's line.
After walking along the official road for six days, Liu Xia and others finally arrived at their destination - Longdu.
When there were still fifty miles away from Longdu, Zhang Tianhu had gone back to recover his life.
Walking 30 miles, Tianyuwei from the imperial city came out from Longdu to escort him.
Zhao Yong's people are here to say goodbye to Liu Xia and return to the northwest.
This Tianyuwei is one of the forbidden troops in the imperial city.
Responsible for taking charge of the nine cities.
Although this army has only less than 2,000 people, each of them carries a majesty of killing.
It is really incomparable to those soldiers and ruffians of the garrison in the northwest.
After they took over Liu Xia's motorcade, they began to escort Liu Xia to move forward.
In less than half an hour, the noise in front of me was getting louder and louder.
At this time, Liu Xia pushed the door open and looked at the dragon in the distance. She couldn't help but be stunned.
The dragon capital in the distance is really spectacular.
Longdu was built in the Panlong Plain, with a radius of 3,000 miles, a flat river, and abundant water. It has been a rich hometown of fish and rice since ancient times.
From the historical records of the Dragon Soul Continent, Longdu has been the capital of successive dynasties for 16 times, experiencing countless prosperity and defeats, but the scale is getting larger and bigger.
When it came to the Tianji Dynasty and took over the Daqing Dynasty, the Daqing Dynasty at that time had collapsed, and the emperor ran away in order to escape.
So, fortunately, the dragon did not experience the baptism of war again.
The Daqing Dynasty has been for thousands of years. For example, today's Ji Dynasty also has hundreds of years of foundation. It has been far away from the flames of war, so prosperity is certain.
From afar, the scale of Longdu City is hundreds of miles.
In the distance, you can see your majestic dragon city wall.
Besides, after years of continuous development, the scale of buildings outside the city wall is far larger than that within the city wall.
So, at a glance, I thought that Longdu did not have a wall.
Outside the city wall, there are dense houses everywhere, but it is well organized, the streets are vertical and horizontal, people shuttle, and the noise is boiling.
"Amitabha, it's really the world."
Dabao looked at the prosperous Longdu and couldn't help but say with admiration at this moment.
"Your Majesty, that is the Dragon Capital. The population of Longdu City is now soaring and the scale is growing. The land in the previous city wall has not been enough for a long time. As a result, over the years, they have been going out. It has formed nine outer cities, which are divided into twelve districts. And the inside of the city wall is more prosperous than outside.
Zhang Tianhu introduced Liu Xia
In a moment, Liu Xia's line entered the outer nine cities.
A street leading directly to the Xuanwu Gate in the center is a royal official road. Generally, it is a road that can only be walked by the generals of the imperial court and the emperors on patrol.
Therefore, the wide streets have long been under martial law, surrounded by the forbidden army armed to the teeth.
Along the official road, Liu Xia crossed the outer nine cities and went directly under the Xuanwu Gate.
At this moment, Liu Xia has already got out of the car and changed into a court uniform.
I don't know why the emperor of the Tianji Dynasty seemed to give Liu Xia face.
There are more people in the team that came out to welcome Liu Xia.
Under the leadership of Zhang Tianhu, Liu Xia walked outside Xuanwu Gate and knelt under the overpass.
At this time, in the team that greeted Liu Xia, a young teenager came out, wearing an ochre-yellow Panlong robe, wearing a Kowloon crown, domineering, handsome and upright.
He walked three meters away from Liu Xia, carried his hands on his back and said, "Fengsheng's oracle, Prince Xuanweiyuan will immediately enter the palace immediately."
"Thank you Lord Longen."
Immediately, Zhang Tianhu and Liu Xia hurriedly saluted.
After getting up, Zhang Tianhu smiled and introduced Liu Xia, "Your Majesty, this is the current prince, the loyal prince."
Liu Xia was stunned and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
Although they are all princes, they are princes and princes, and their status is much higher than that of Liu Xia.
At this moment, the loyal prince hurriedly picked up Liu Xia and said with a kind smile, "In the future, they will be their own brothers, so you have to walk more."
"With the love of the prince, for sure, for sure."
Liu Xia said with a smile.
After that, Zhang Tianhu began to introduce people one by one to welcome Liu Xia.
Most of them are princes and dignitaries in the court, and they can't avoid greetings.
Subsequently, Liu Xia changed the carriage and entered the Longdu city wall from Xuanwu Gate.
Sure enough, as Zhang Tianhu said, the inside of the city wall is more prosperous than the nine cities outside.
There are many tall buildings everywhere. Although the Royal Forest Army has imposed martial law on the streets, you can still see a sea of people around.
A bustling mess.
The whole dragon is divided into four layers.
The most superficial layer, and also the largest layer today, is the outer nine cities.
Entering the gate is the inner city.
Although the scale of the inner nine cities is smaller than the outside, it is indeed the economic center of the whole Longdu and the Tianji Dynasty.
Within the city wall, there is also a smaller circle of walls called the Forbidden City Wall. Separate the inner nine cities from the imperial city.
In the center of the whole Longdu, the imperial city is the residence of the officials and nobles of the current dynasty.
Today's emperor, the emperor of the Tianji Dynasty, lives in Tianlong City in the imperial city, and does not become a palace.
Liu Xia and others crossed the wall of the Forbidden City from the inner city in less than an hour.
At this moment, Tianyuwei, who escorted Liu Xia, returned, and the imperial army continued to escort Liu Xia into the imperial city.
As soon as he entered the imperial city, the whole world suddenly became quiet.
The people who live in the imperial city are all current officials and imperial relatives, so they are all high walls to form mansions, which are scary on a large scale.
Liu Xia found that there were few pedestrians on the streets here, and most of them were horse-drawn carriages.
After walking forward for another half an hour, I finally arrived at today's destination - the Royal Palace.
The car stopped in front of the Shenwu Gate directly to the north, and then all stopped.
At this moment, the team that came to welcome Liu Xia left one after another.
After a while, there were only Prince Zhong, Liu Xia, Zhang Tianhu and others left.
Zhang Tianhu arranged Liu Xia's family to his home first, so Dabao and others did not follow.
"Prince Weiyuan, please follow me."
Immediately, under the leadership of Prince Zhong, Liu Xia entered the palace from Shenwu Gate.
This is Liu Xia's first time to enter the palace, and she is naturally a little excited.
After a while, Prince Zhong took them into the ceremonial department and said, "I'll go back to my father first, and you can wait here."
After saying that, Prince Zhong left.
Along the way, Prince Zhong was silent and rarely spoke, but as long as he spoke, he smiled.
It makes people feel very kind.
It is estimated that today's prince is so polite to see everyone.
I'm afraid that after this politeness, it is also step by step, like the shrewdness of walking on thin ice.
The prince of the Dragon Soul Continent is quite sad.
There are some people who are directly princes for a lifetime.
After all, most of the emperors are in the world of martial arts, so the cultivation of later generations is not bad, and they will live for hundreds of years.
Unless you meet those stupid kings who don't learn, are greedy for wine and sex, and die early.
Otherwise, we have to wait.
Therefore, the usurpation of power by princes in all dynasties is not news.
Although Liu Xia has not seen Liu Xia today, from his mastery of the overall situation in the northwest, I'm afraid he is not a faint king.
Therefore, it is estimated that as soon as Prince Loyalty was born, he created this personality under this pressure.
When it comes to the Ministry of Ceremonies, it is naturally the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies who show Liu Xia how to stand when they see the emperor, kneel like this, and how to salute.
This is the rule. People who meet the saint for the first time must go to the ceremonial department first.
Zhang Tianhu naturally accompanied Liu Xia and waited for the emperor's summons.
After the performance, Liu Xia was taken to the main hall to serve tea. She waited for about three hours. From noon to the evening, she couldn't help but make Liu Xia anxious.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. The emperor is busy with government affairs every day, and you will know it in the future. Recently, I heard that the pirates in southern Xinjiang have been harassing me. Recently, I dared to attack the city and burn and plunder all the way. I guess the emperor can't get rid of it for this matter.
Zhang Tianhu explained.
"Southern Xinjiang pirates?"
Liu Xia asked puzzledly.
"Ha ha, outside the southern border, there is a vast sea. Deep in the sea, there are several barbarian island countries. Whenever there is a midsummer ocean current, they will follow the sea breeze to take advantage of the fire. The court sends troops to kill every year, but it is repulsed and will come back next year. I really can't bear to disturb it."
Zhang Tianhu said with a wry smile.
"Then go straight to their house and take their old nest."
"Well, that's as easy as you said. Those places are barren, and the people live in poverty. If they don't have a livelihood, they will come to us to plunder. You can't kill them all, can you?"
Zhang Tianhu shook his head and smiled.
"Oh, this emperor is so worried. I really don't know that I'm so tired and so many troubles every day. How can there be so many people as emperors?
Liu Xia thought silently in her heart.
Unconsciously, it was already night. Finally, I heard a eunuch coming outside the door. When I saw Zhang Tianhu and Liu Xia, I saluted, and then got up and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang, the Holy Lord is recruiting two people in the Royal Heavenly Palace. Please follow me."
"Ha ha, please bother the prince to lead the way."
Zhang Tianhu hugged his fist and said.
Immediately, the eunuch took Liu Xia and walked towards the main palace.
When he arrived outside the Yutian Palace, the father-in-law went in to restore his life, and then came out and said, "You two, please come in."
It took a day for Liu Xia to finally see the emperor he had wanted to see for a long time.
I think it's not easy.
Both of them entered the palace, bowed their heads, walked three steps into the door, pushed the golden mountain, fell down the jade pillar, knelt to the ground, and kowtowed.
"I, Zhang Tianhu (Duan Haoxuan), see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Liu Xia gave the name Duan Haoxuan and immediately saluted Zhang Tianhu.
If you enter the palace, you are not allowed to raise your head, otherwise you will be executed for the crime of conspiracy.
You can only look at your nose, nose and heart, and look at the carpet on the ground to talk.
"Exemption, get up."
At this time, Liu Xia heard a very tired voice. Hearing the voice, she was about fifty years old, slightly hoarse, magnetic, and also had an irresistible majesty.
"Thank you"
At this moment, Liu Xia and Zhang Tianhu got up.
"Hao Xuan, raise your head and let me see you."
At this time, I heard the emperor say.
