Chapter 551: Changes in Jinling
The summer in Jinling seems extremely long.
After entering this city for several days, Li Xin was still not used to the prosperity of Jinling City.
When he was young, he thought that Yongzhou City was the most prosperous place. When he grew up, he realized that Panyu was the most prosperous place. Now, after entering Jinling, he realized that this city with a population of 300,000 was already the most prosperous place in the world.
Countless big cities.
He heard that after the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty (589), Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian believed that Jinling was located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the surrounding mountains and rivers would give birth to new rulers. It would be easy to separate the south of the Yangtze River and compete with the northern court. The Six Dynasties lasted for three hundred years as a lesson.
.
So he issued an edict: "Build the city of Kang and level the land for cultivation, and set up Jiangzhou in Stone City."
Therefore, in a short period of one year, the main city of Jiankang and the surrounding Dongfu and Danyang acropolis were all destroyed, and all the palaces, gardens, official offices, residential buildings and other buildings in the city were demolished. Jiankang during the Six Dynasties period,
Moling, Tongxia, Jiangcheng, Danyang, and Hushu counties were abolished, and a large number of original residents were forced to move out of the city. Only Stone City, the military defense castle of Jiankang, was retained as the seat of "Jiangzhou".
"However, the fallen puppet dynasty was probably doomed to decline from the moment the Qinhuai River changed."
Li Xin couldn't help frowning as he looked at the Qinhuai River, where people were coming and going and boats were crowded.
During the Six Dynasties, the Qinhuai River was just a commercial and military defense river outside Jinling City. However, during the Puppet Tang Dynasty, Jinling City actually included all the bustling markets and densely populated residential buildings on both sides of the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River into the capital.
The boundaries between cities and towns suddenly disappeared, and Jinling City became a city that never sleeps, killing countless literati, generals and ministers.
It's ridiculous that what was once a military location has turned into a prosperous resort.
"This Jinling Stone City can never become the capital of the country!" Li Xinxin made up his mind.
If the capital is built here, I am afraid that the army that can fight well and the court that is united will be lost. Not to mention unifying the world, even trying to rule by crossing the river will be very difficult.
It can be said that Jinling City is "connected with the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River to maximize the geographical advantage. The western corner of the city is located on the ridge of Shitou Gangfu, which is connected to the long dry mountain, and there is a Fugui Tower on the city." It can be said that the geographical advantage is obvious.
However, the gentle land of Jiangnan is too debilitating.
"Besides, without Huainan, Jinling City will be a dangerous city. No matter how powerful the Yangtze River is, it will be useless!"
"However, Runzhou and Changzhou in the east may not be safe. Wuyue Kingdom is already ready to make a move. What should we do?"
Li Xinxin was really a little irritable.
As the defender of Jinling, the 40,000-strong army is really hard to deal with. The Wuyue Kingdom is a big country with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so it cannot be taken lightly.
"What are you doing here, uncle?" Zhou Kui ran over eagerly and asked flatteringly.
"Nothing!" Li Xin said calmly.
"Uncle, are you thinking about Runzhou and Changzhou?" Zhou Kui said confidently, as if there were roundworms in his stomach.
"Oh? Do you have a solution?" Li Xin was surprised.
"As long as the general and I have 20,000 troops, we can regain the two states of Run and Chang." Zhou Kui said confidently. "There is no joke in the army!" Li Xin said solemnly.
"Of course, the general is willing to issue a military order." Zhou Kui said seriously.
"Then I'll believe you for once!"
…
The sun finally emerged from the clouds, shining brightly on the Jinling Palace. Although the entire palace was closed, the maids and eunuchs were still there, and the palace still retained some of its charm.
Because of the relaxation of the atmosphere, Li Yu's family had an extra area to rest, and finally no longer felt suffocated.
Ouchi Palace is square in shape.
The hall was renamed the palace, and there are Xingxiang and other halls in the palace. There are 2,400 buildings in total, and there are 1,500 steps around.
Hall, Chengxin Hall.
In the garden, a pool was dug and stones were stacked, and there were buildings such as Xiaojinshan, Yaoguang Hall, Rouyi Hall, Hongluo Pavilion, and Yinxiang Pavilion.
As a queen, Zhou Ehuang always had a dignified temperament. She walked quickly through the garden. Seeing that these buildings in the past were now tightly guarded and were not allowed to move without permission, she felt panicked in her heart.
Then, she met Xiao Penglai again, which was her private place with the emperor.
The emperor built a pond in the garden, which was as wide as an hectare. There were stone statues and three sacred mountains in the center of the pond, so it was called Little Penglai.
The queen often built a pavilion among the flowers, with red awnings and ivory fortresses, and gorgeous carvings, but it was very narrow and could only accommodate two people. Whenever she had a drink with her, she would feel full of desire when her mood arose.
Then the minister Xiao Yan said disappointedly: "I hate that there is no well under it!"
The emperor was compared to Empress Chen.
Seeing things and thinking about emotions, the past years have been too wasted.
After entering the palace and passing through the palace with low hanging curtains, she stopped her entourage and walked into Li Yu's bedroom...
The scene in front of him suddenly made Emperor Zhou E feel more and more sad.
I saw tables and benches lying on the ground, and even brocade quilts were under the bed. The floor was in a mess, with overturned books, pieces of paper, gold wine glasses, and broken pieces of porcelain. The messy scene made people feel like there was no place to step down.
.
And Li Yuzheng was lying on the dragon bed without any image, sleeping soundly.
Seeing all this, Zhou Ehuang felt extremely distressed. She carefully stepped over the debris on the floor and walked to the bed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." She stretched out her hand and pushed Li Yu's body gently. Although the Tang Dynasty was dead, out of habit, Emperor Zhou E still called him like this to satisfy his vanity, not to mention that there were no outsiders in this palace.
"Your Majesty, wake up." Zhou Ehuang felt distressed and pushed him with more force.
"Oh! It's the queen!" Li Yu squinted his eyes and spit out a mouthful of wine. In an instant, the bed was filled with a stench.
The smell of this wine seemed to linger in the mouth all night, with a rancid smell, and it happened to be sprayed on Emperor Zhou E's sleeves.
She almost vomited without paying attention. She suppressed the vomiting in her heart and continued pushing.
Li Yu closed his eyes again, turned over, lay on his back on the bed, and fell asleep.
The surging talent has always been Zhou Ehuang's love for Li Yu.
Therefore, even if Li Yu has lost the throne, she still feels that that kind of thing still exists, but he has changed from a talented emperor to a talented commoner. As long as the husband and wife rely on each other, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
However, she has not changed, but Li Yu has changed. He is drunk and decadent, and he does not know the time.
Keep pushing.
Li Yu quickly opened his eyes and asked angrily: "What's the matter?"
Emperor Zhou E said softly: "It's noon. Your Majesty, please get up first. Lying down like this is not an option."
