Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Seven hundred and thirty-two Chang’an City

In the long river of history, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty recorded in the historical annals, was already the world's largest capital of the kingdom at that time, with a population of one million.

After someone appeared in Datang, after nearly two decades of hard work, especially since the completion of the new outer city, the entire Chang'an City can only be described as majestic and majestic.

The "big" is no longer enough to describe the giant lying quietly on the ground in front of people.

According to the concept of Tianyuan, the original Chang'an City was square, except for the three gates at Gongcheng where the dragon head was originally located, there were three expanded gates in the east, west, and south.

The tall city wall built with bluestone exudes majesty and solemnity. The width of the moat is twenty feet wide. Due to the existence of two flowing rivers in the city, the flowing water of blue waves is formed, even in summer. The fish under the water are clearly visible.

The new outer city built in recent years was amidst doubts and opposition. His Royal Highness withstood all pressure from all sides. In the east, west, and south directions of Chang'an City, An eight-mile-long Chang'an New City was expanded.

The shape of the entire new city, standing in the sky pavilion for a bird’s eye view, is like a fan, with Zhuque Avenue as the center, spreading in the east, west and south directions of Chang’an City, thus forming an inner and outer circle Huge city.

The location of the dragon head on the north side of Chang'an City is like a fan handle, which can be controlled and opened and closed at will on this huge "folding fan".

Corresponding to the nine city gates on the east, west, and south sides of the inner city, the main road connecting the new city to the outer city is naturally connected by the nine gates on the three walls, forming a fan bone The same main road that exists.

The outer city does not have a tall and solid wall like the inner city, but at the end of the city, a circular official road is laid, just like on the top of a fan with a perfect curve of gold. The line is normal, surrounding the entire outer city of Chang'an.

In the middle of the nine main roads, at the end of the outer city of Chang'an, eight barracks were divided. The emperor's King Wuwei and the prince's central army jointly guarded the entire nine main roads in and out of Chang'an City.

Naturally, the three city gates on the side of the original imperial city of Longshou still garrison the elite soldiers of the Jinwu Guard to protect the safety of the imperial city and the imperial family.

So, the entire Chang'an City is still nine gates, nine soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers guarding this huge city.

As Saleh and Sultan get closer and closer to the city of Chang'an, the expressions on their faces become more and more surprised. Even in the end, the two of them have grown up in surprise, facing the endless city in front of them. In the minds of the two of them, they can't think of exact words to describe the behemoth in the distance.

"This... is this the city of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty? Or is this the existence of a country?" Sultan (don’t entangle the name, just to remember and not to be harmonious.) A little stuttered, looking at his face Salih asked, even more gloomy.

"Yeyue is right, Chang'an City has once again undergone earth-shaking changes." Saleh sighed heavily. When he left Chang'an, Chang'an was far from the majestic now. , Majestic and majestic.

Now standing on a high ground outside Chang'an City, sitting on horseback looking at the entire Chang'an City, Saleh's heart is sinking, his expression is even more gloomy, and his eyebrows are about to be broken. Like on the forehead.

The buildings in Chang'an, which are several tens of meters high, were like mushrooms sprung up in the inner city of Chang'an City during the period before he left and returned to the big food.

Now, this so-called outer city has already stood up as if looking at Tallinn from a distance. The eye-catching place is full of huge buildings that are soaring into the clouds and tens of meters high.

The entire city of Chang'an, like a tall dense forest, is occupied by these towering buildings and attracts the envy of people when they first arrive in Chang'an.

What makes them even more surprised is that when they look away from the direction of the Chang'an City Palace, the tallest building in Chang'an City seems to have a dazzling glow, making them unable to look directly. That huge building with bold light.

"Oh, that is the famous sky pavilion in the Datang Palace. I have been up several times, but I am afraid you will not have that blessing. As for the dazzling golden light, it is not the pavilion that will automatically emit glowing rays. It’s because that tower that is so tall that it towers into the sky uses a lot of precious glass, so under the sun’s rays, it looks like it emits a thousand rays of glow. Chang’an literati often use this to chant poems. Fu." Yeyue explained with some pride, riding on horseback like a tour guide, accompanied by Saleh.

As for the sultan on the other side of Saleh, she was completely ignored. From beginning to end, Yeyue has always been the sultan to her, showing naked love for her, like air.

The eight tall drum towers are the only way to enter Chang'an City. The eight drum towers lie between the nine main roads, and the barracks of the Jinwuwei and the Central Army are conveniently located below. The drum tower is also the Jinwuwei and the central army. Army, looking at the sentry of the enemy in the distance.

Time seemed to have suddenly become spiritual. When Ye Yue took Saleh and the Sultan, including a long group of cannibals behind him, slowly walked to the Drum Tower and was about to pass into Chang'an City. A melodious bell rang instantly.

As if to give these big cannibals a disarm, the melodious bells suddenly sounded on the head of the big cannibals with the pride and confidence of Tang.

The eight drum towers along with the drum tower in the inner city sounded melodious bells, as if to continue to awaken the entire prosperous and prosperous Chang'an City, and as if to show their existence to the people of Chang'an City.

The sultan, who was passing under the drum tower, heard a thunder-like sound above his head, and he almost fell off his horse in fright. He blurted out in panic between his expressions and said: "What's the matter? What is this sound? Why is it so loud?"

Ye Yue’s originally tight and pretty face swept past the sultan, who was still cool and comfortable. After hearing the drums, she suddenly became embarrassed, so she couldn’t help but laugh first. Sounded.

Yeyue's laughter also made the Sultan, who was gradually slowing down, a big red face, and his heart was full of embarrassment and shame, and he wished to tear down this hateful drum tower immediately.

Salih used to hear it every day in Chang'an City. Although the sound of the twilight drum just now was a bit loud, but because of the reasons I had heard before, my heart was suddenly shaken, but I was not as embarrassed as Sudan. Foolish.

"Datang’s so-called morning bell and evening drum, the bell will ring in the early morning to remind people of what time it is now, and at this time, the drum will start to be beaten." Saleh did not show a mockery of Sudan This means that in his opinion, things that shocked the Sudan will continue to happen during this period of time, and some are time to laugh at him.

"Don't tell me, the entire streets of Chang'an City are paved with these bluestone slabs. How much does it cost to do it?" The melodious drums finally dissipated completely over the entire Chang'an City, Sudan He looked at the shops on both sides of the street and muttered.

He originally thought that when their team of big cannibals entered Chang'an, it would definitely cause a sensation to the Chang'an people of Datang, and even cause riots among the people of Datang, but now, he will be disappointed again.

Their long line of nearly a thousand people, even some of them brazenly armed with weapons, but even so, it still can't attract the attention of the people of Chang'an.

In the eyes of the people, it seems that the red lanterns and the delicious cakes, or the cloth, silk, etc., are much more important than these people. No one will stop and watch them pass by. , It’s just that people consciously gave them the middle way.

On the streets that are several feet wide and ten feet wide, there is no conflict between pedestrians, carriages and bearers, as if everyone knows which road they should walk on~IndoMTL.com~The carriage is still fast The bearers are still moving their feet quickly, and pedestrians are still wandering leisurely. These groups of obviously different speeds have never had a collision or friction.

Even if their team of nearly a thousand people joins the wide street, they still can't make the wide street look crowded.

Ye Yue’s face is no longer as tight as before. Originally in her heart, this sultan of the Hashim family, as the young talent most likely to inherit the Hashim family, should be a knowledgeable Guang's people, after all, he has been to the more distant west, and he has seen more local customs.

But the demeanor and behavior shown now, no matter how you look at it, it looks like...In Li Hong's words, it's like a bun.

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the superior "villain", why he always looks down on them and cannibals, and always degrades his brother Wang with a great sense of superiority.

Now she understands. In her eyes, this sultan should be a well-informed and talented person. Now even in her opinion, it is nothing more than a person who has just entered the city, dazzled, and prosperous. The shocked soil buns.

So, this sultan, in her heart, at this moment, became no longer so threatening, and even she began to think that this sultan would no longer be the opponent of King Saleh.

"Huh? Oh, Chang'an City just completed the paving of the entire street this year. Of course, the money was paid by the Tang Dynasty. They have money. If not many people opposed him at the beginning, he plans to expand the new city. In Balidi, because of too much resistance, even his father and queen were opposed to it, so they had to take a step back and expand Balidi.” Seeing the gaze of Wang's brother Saleh, Ye Yue hurriedly recovered. Explained.
