Chapter 34 The Eastern Capital of Luoyang

The man in white looked at the skeleton hand bones that were poked out of the grave, and was surprised, and immediately threw the Buddhist beads in his hand over.

call!

Thirteen Buddhist beads dispersed instantly, as big as wheels, and their light shone brightly.

The Buddhist beads hovered into a cylinder light array, imprisoning the Yin soldiers who had just crawled out in place.

Kak, Kak, the Yin soldiers stepped on their spot, their bones swayed, and when their huge skull swung, their upper and lower jaw bones opened and collaborated.

The man walked forward and observed the struggling ghost soldiers at a close distance.

As expected, the Yin soldiers were artificially rebuilt and buried in the grave again, otherwise the leather armor and bones would not be stained with new soil.

Who is making a fool of himself?

In addition, the bones of the Yin soldiers were applied with some kind of potion, and the potion was probably from Manichaeism.

This potion can bring back the dead and will inevitably contain very special medicines. As long as Tianyunsi analyzes the ingredients of the potion, he can follow the map to track the source.

Also, the dark fire jumping in the chest of the Yin soldiers is a tiny particle. As Tianyunsi said, the material is from Yangsuizhu?

Whether it is a great cannibal or a Persian, they regard Yang Suizhu as a holy object, and Yang Suizhu is also used in the evil formation of the Empress of Wu, so it is very difficult to track it.

The man in white frowned. The incident of Yin soldiers was even more complicated than he thought. If these Yin soldiers were made by man, the manpower and material resources involved were not supported by a Manichi religion.

So what is the other party’s purpose? It is impossible to invest such a lot of manpower and material resources just to scare people, right?

Um?

The man in white keenly discovered that the inside of the incomplete ribs of the Yin soldiers were actually stained with small black and white particles.

Rice grains?

When the man was surprised, he wanted to pick the rice grains directly with his hands, but because of his obsession with cleanliness, he found a wooden stick, picked the rice grains one by one, then wrapped them in a handkerchief and stuffed them into a belt.

The man observed for a long time and could not find any useful clues. He simply put away the Buddhist beads and destroyed the Yin soldiers and walked towards the depths of the desolate cemetery.

With a shout, a figure flew over like lightning and landed gracefully in front of the man.

Li Guinian, the cannon king carrying the Jie drum, looked at the man in white like jade in surprise and laughed loudly: "Mojie, don't be fine!"

Wang Mojie looked at the visitor in surprise: "Brother Guinian, don't be fine!"

Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches are blooming in spring.

I hope you will pick more of this thing, which is the most love-loving thing.

After more than ten years of separation, the past came in a flood, and the two of them looked at each other with their hands, and they were speechless.

"Mojie, why are you here?" Li Guinian asked in surprise.

Wang Wei said truthfully: "I am secretly investigating the incident of Yin soldiers under the orders of Zhang Xiang and Pei Xiang. My appointment is also related to this."

Li Guinian suddenly realized and immediately felt a little shocked.

Although the right-selected official is not very good, he is a serious official in the capital, close to the center of the court. Could it be that the two prime ministers mean that the Yin soldiers incident is inseparable from the power of the court?

When Wang Wei saw Li Guinian's expression, he guessed Li Guinian's thoughts and smiled faintly: "The situation may not be like this. Perhaps the two husbands were afraid that someone would make trouble by using the Yin soldiers incident and disrupt the Chaogang, so he ordered me to observe secretly."

Li Guinian looked at Wang Wei in a complicated manner, and jumped into this circle again after going around. Is this really what you want?

Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The two of them gathered their feelings and walked towards a larger pile of graves on the distant hills.

"Luoyang, I'm here!" At dawn, Gao Mang stood on a high ground in the north of Luoyang City, looking at the magnificent city in the light, and was inexplicably excited.

In the first year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, in 605 AD, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, Tokyo, and ordered Yuwen Kai to build Luoyang City.

Chang'an in troubled times and Luoyang in prosperous times.

Luoyang has no danger and can be defended as a place for four battles. However, its transportation is well developed and rich in resources, connecting the five major water systems of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Haihe River and Qiantang are the central hub of canal transport and can avoid the powerful Guanlong forces, so it has become Yang Guang's first choice.

In the second year of Xianqing in the Tang Dynasty, in 657 AD, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, established Luoyang as the Eastern Capital.

In the first year of Guangzhai, in 684 AD, Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Dan changed the name of Dongdu to Shendu.

In the first year of Tianshu, in 690 AD, Empress Wu Zetian changed the country's name to Zhou and established the capital of Shendu.

In 694 AD, the Persian chief Aro joined hands with hundreds of barbarians in the surrounding areas and asked the Queen Wu Zetian to cast the Tianshu Iron Tower in Shendu and dismissed Tang and Song Zhou.

In the first year of Shenlong, in 705 AD, Li Tang launched the Shenlong Revolution, regained the magical artifact from Wu Zetian, abolished the title of Shendu in Luoyang, and was also called Dongdu.

Since Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, ascended the throne, he has been in charge of the Eastern Capital for ten years, and has built water conservancy several times, expanded Luoyang's palace garden, and built Luoyang into a well-deserved "Tianyi".

Gao Mang overlooks Luoyang City. The whole city is like a huge chessboard, divided into countless squares. Although the light is insufficient and it is not clear and it is also dazzling.

Especially the Mingtang standing on the north bank of Luoshui, it looks so tall and magnificent ten miles away. If you look closely, that would be great?

Princess Yuzhen walked up and couldn't help but feel funny when she saw Gao Mang's appearance.

Think about it, my junior brother was born in the countryside and rarely went down the mountain after being accepted as a disciple by his master. How could he have seen such a magnificent city?

Princess Yuzhen said loudly: "The green dragon soars, the white tiger leaps, the vermilion bird dances, and the black womb moves. Luoyang has been the place where the royal energy gathers since ancient times. Therefore, the imperial court set up six Xiongzhous and ten Wangzhous around Luoyang to protect the gateways of the eastern capital. When the capital was built, all referenced to the four symbols and five elements, astrological Feng Shui, and even our Taoist secret method of setting up formations."

Drawing a line with his fingers, Princess Yuzhen continued: "The Qing Palace in Mangshan from Longmen to the south of Luoyang, on this north-south central axis, Dingdingmen Street in the south of the city is Tianjie, which extends north to Duanmen of the imperial city, the imperial city, and the important buildings of the palace city are all on this line, including the Tianshu Tower, Mingtang, and Heaven built by Empress Zetian."

Princess Yuzhen drew a line horizontally with her fingers: "The Luo River passes through the city from west to east, corresponding to the Milky Way in the sky, and Tianjin Bridge is the bridge at the Tianhe Ferry Crossing. Look at Mingtang again, corresponding to Ziweiyuan in the middle of the northern sky. Fa Ziwei is in the middle, and I plan Mingtang to govern..."

Following the explanation of his senior sister, Gao Mang's eyes suddenly became clear. The outer city, imperial city, palace city, Jiacang city, Shenduyuan and Shangyang Palace, as well as more than 100 markets in the north and south of Luoshui became neat and orderly.

There are things in heaven and on earth, and there must be them. The true unity of man and nature. If it weren’t for the explanation of the senior sister, he wouldn’t have known that a city would have so many considerations.

No wonder she was able to become the only two cities with a population of over one million besides Chang'an. It should be fine to say that she is the second largest city in the world?
