Cry for Song

Chapter 150 Nanjing City, Liaoning

Yue Li finished telling the story, and Wang listened with relish. Our writing was simple, but let Yue Li talk vividly, which made Wang like listening to a novel,

Listening to the king, he thought that it is reasonable for this Yelu Sect to be the emperor, but Yelu Sect is really a little too playful to take the throne; Yelu Zongyuan should also be, and his merits and loyalty are indeed unmatchedible. According to the succession to the throne, Yelu Hongji is not wrong, but the things in the world are according to an old saying: Don't be afraid. Good thing, I'm afraid there are no good people,

The key to all the questions is on Yelu Hongxiao, the real son of Yelu Zong. Wang Biao suddenly found that this person was still quite similar to Zhao Shu. He was staring at the throne that did not belong to him, but could be realized.

Yue Li finally talked about Yelu Zongzhen, Yelu Zongyuan, and Yelu Hongji. He also felt that his mouth was dry. He took a big sip of wine and asked, "If not, can you think of a way."

Wang Bian pondered for a moment. There is no way. The simplest way to get rid of this relationship is to let the impeacher leave Yelu Zongyuan, so that he will certainly not be implicated, but whether the impeacher is willing? What's more, Yelu Zongyuan wants to rebel. If he chooses to congratulate the empress dowager, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape. This civil unrest,

Seeing that Yue Li did know a lot about the State of Liao, he asked, "Brother-in-law, I still have two questions. How many soldiers and horses Yelu Zongyuan has mastered, and, according to your estimation, will Yelu Zongyuan take advantage of the empress dowager's birthday to rebel."

Yue Li tilted his head and thought about it, and then shook his head again. To be honest, the first question was easy to answer, and the second question was a little difficult to answer: "I know, Yelu Zongyuan now has more than 400,000 soldiers and horses. As for the second question, it seems unlikely."

"Oh, 400,000 soldiers." Wang Fang suddenly remembered that in the book of Jin Daxia, when the emperor's uncle plotted a rebellion, it seemed to be called 800,000 troops. "Why don't you think it's impossible?" Wang simply asked the bottom,

Yue Li frowned: "If there is no brother, this Liao country seems to be a close marriage. You see, the current empress dowager is Xiao Tari. His father is the younger brother of Xiao Yujin, the Empress Qin Ai. You know, Empress Xiao Yujin, is the mother of Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan, that is to say, the current The Empress Dowager is Yelu Zongyuan and Yeluzong's real cousins, right?

Wang's listening was messy enough. It turned out that Yelu Hongji was the product of the close relatives of Yelu Zongzhen and his uncle's cousin. Can this child be smart? Wang couldn't help asking questions in his heart,

He heard Yue Li continue to say, "His cousin is the empress dowager. Do you think Yelu Zongyuan will rise up at this time?"

Wang Zong listened and smiled. He didn't laugh at anything else. He laughed at Yue Li's own strength just now. It seemed that he didn't make it clear that he was unwilling. Wang Zan smiled and said, "Well, let's not care about his cousin. My brother-in-law can rest assured that as long as I get to the Liao Dynasty, I will be careful. By the way, I'll leave for the side tomorrow. Jing, is there anyone to answer?

Yue Li was stunned by Wang's question: "Who will answer?"

When Wang saw Yue Li's expression, he knew no: "Oh, when I went to Xixia, Xixia sent messengers to Yanzhou to pick up."

Yue Li curled his lips and shook: "Well, Xixia is an invitation to go, and they urgently need to solve their problems; no one in Liao, no one to answer, and the people of Liao are very arrogant, and they claim to be the Great Liao Dynasty. I remember that you must pay attention to this time. Even if there is no civil strife, Don't lose the ambition of our Song Dynasty. If the Liao people suppress the momentum, I guess I'm afraid that someone will impeach you when I come back.

This is what Wang didn't expect and didn't worry about: "Haha, when did my brother-in-law see me lose momentum?"

Yue Li smiled and said, "It's really not. Come on, I wish my brother a good trip." With that, the two of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly,

The king set off again and was about to leave the border of Song and Liao. Yue Li sent the king to the guard station on the border, and then saw the team next to the king go away.

The first stop when the group entered the Liao country was Xijin Mansion, Nanjing, the accompanying capital of Liaoning. As soon as they entered Xijin Mansion, the king immediately went to the imperial city and handed in the invitation issued by Liao and his own customs clearance ultimatum. Without much effort, a minister of Liao came to receive them, and then arranged accommodation for them and sent the bodyguards of Liao. Send a gift first,

Now Wang was relieved. He was going to stay in Nanjing City for two more days to take a good look at his place. After finishing his business, he called Zhe Kejun and others to travel with his casual clothes. He finally saw where his previous life was. At this moment, he hoped that Yuexia would be by his side and let him tell Yuexia well.

The Nanjing City (Xijinfu) of the State of Liaoning in front of us is 36 miles, with a city wall three feet high and five feet wide. There are eight gates: east is Andongmen and Yingchunmen (the former site of Andongmen in Yanjing City in the Liao Dynasty, west of Caishikou, near the old wall root alley, which is the site of the eastern city wall of Yanjing City in the Liao Dynasty),

In the south is Danfengmen and Kaiyangmen (There is an intersection between You'anmen Inner Street and Baizhifang West Street and East Street. At the northwest corner of the intersection, next to the railing, there is a stone tablet engraved with several large characters: "the old site of Liao Kaiyangmen". Kaiyangmen is facing Gongchenmen. The current You'anmen Inner Street is the Kaiyangmen in those years. To a part of Archmen Avenue,)

In the west is the Qing Jinmen Gate and Xianximen; in the north is Tongtianmen and Gongchenmen.

The imperial city of the "Xijinfu" Zicheng in Liaoning Nanjing: the location is in the southwest corner, sharing the west gate and the south gate with the big city. The Zicheng is mainly the palace area and the royal garden area. The palace area is located in the east of the Zicheng and protrudes to the south outside the city wall of the Zicheng.

In the south is the southern gate, in the east is the left gate (renamed Wanchun Gate), and in the west is the right gate (which was later renamed Qianqiu Gate),

The east side of the palace area is the Nanguo Park, and the west side is the Yaochi Palace Area. The scale of the palace is relatively large. There is a small island in Yaochi, and there is a Yaochi Hall on it. There is a royal residence next to the pool.

Because Zicheng is located in the southwest, there are only two trunk roads connecting the city. One is the east-west trunk road, known as Tanzhou Street, which connects Qingjinmen and Andongmen. It is the predecessor of Guang'anmen Inner and Outer Street; the other is a north-south trunk road, which connects Gongchenmen and Kaiyangmen, which is roughly equivalent to today's downtown Street. The southern section, Changchun Street, Niu Street plus the north section of You'anmen Inner Street. The other two trunk roads can only be terminated from the city gate to Zicheng. In addition to the trunk road, there are secondary roads.

Wang's eyes are shining when he looks at the Nanjing City of Liao. It is completely different from the scene of desert smoke and horse tents in Liao as imagined. Think about the land of Yanyun has been integrated into the culture of various ethnic groups. Nowadays, the border trade between Song and Liao is frequent, and it is a prosperous scene here.

Look at the magnificent imperial city in the city. In the north of the city, there are markets, mountains or specialties, seafood, fish and shrimp, and department stores for people's livelihood, all of which are among them.

Around the imperial city, there are also residential areas. Liao Guoguan's residential area is called Lifang District. Each square has a wall and a square door, and there is a square name on the door, such as Guihou, Xianzhong, Tangyin, Ganquan, Shihe, Xianlu, Jingke

Zhang Ping looked at it and asked, "What are these names?"

The king pointed to the names of these squares and said, "This is divided into residential areas according to ethnic groups. There are more than 300,000 people in Nanjing, including Han, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Jurchen and other ethnic groups. There are 26 "fangs" in the city to manage the residents of the city."

Zhang Ping's thumbs up: "Hey, you see, they are wearing different clothes, Wang Shilang, you know a lot"

Zhe Kejun saw that Zhang Ping was still called the servant next to the king and poked Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm used to it. When I first came out, he told me. Mr. I didn't flatter you. Although you haven't been to Liao, you are so familiar with the State of Liao."

Wang listened and smiled. He didn't dare to say anything else. He said that he had seen Nanjing for more than 30 years, but now he couldn't see what he would look like nine hundred years later. He looked around and found some temples in the temple,

Wang looked at these temples and suddenly found a place. He knew him and pointed to him from afar and said, "Look, this is Fayuan Temple." With that, several people came closer and looked at the plaque of the temple above the temple. Zhang Ping smiled and said, "Sir, I misread it this time." It turned out that the plaque on the door of the temple said: "Minzhong Temple"

The gap is also a little big. If you want to say that your eyes are not good, you can't say it. It's not far away. There is also a tower. Several people are still some distance away from the tower. Zhang Ping joked and said, "Son, what's the name of this tower? If you guess right, I'll buy wine today. If you don't guess right, you'll buy wine today."

Zhe Kejun glanced at him and said, "You guy, when will you let us all buy you a drink?"

Zhang Ping said with a smile, "Just because there is no, I think this Mr. Tower can definitely get it right." In fact, the handwriting can be faintly seen where they stand.

The king's side saw that the tower was not very familiar. It seemed that the tower had never changed in the past thousand years. The king laughed. He had seen the record in this tower that the temple in front of the pagoda in the Song Dynasty was called "Tennoon Temple", and the pagoda in the temple was of course the Tianwang Temple pagoda.

The king knew that the tower was later renamed Tianning Temple Pagoda, so he deliberately wanted to tease these people in front of him, so he said, "This tower, I think it's called Tianning Temple Pagoda"

Zhe Kejun, Zhang Ping and Han Derong both laughed and said, "The prince wants to buy you a drink, and you don't have to deliberately admit defeat." Three people said at the same time,

The king smiled, and he didn't want to defend. Suddenly, someone behind him said, "Amitabha, this benefactor predicts the future." Wang was shocked. Looking back, it turned out that there was a monk standing behind several people.

The king hurriedly replied respectfully: "Who is your Excellency?"

The monk smiled and said, "Lao Na is the abbot of this temple, and his legal name is Qi Song. Can you ask your surname and name?"

Wang saw that the monk was polite and very kind, and he had just deliberately said about Tianning Temple. He actually said that he knew the future. Is there any mystery here?
