Chapter 215 Shangjing
Facing the great scholar's surprise, Chen Jiu smiled softly: "Disciples have such a little qualification in martial arts and cannot be praised by their predecessors."
The great Confucian scholar in front of him was already grateful to Chen Jiu at this time, and when he heard Chen Jiu say that he was a child of Confucianism, he loved it very much: "I, Confucianism, are such a genius, it is indeed my Confucianism's blessing. I, Wu Xiu, is a hidden Confucian scholar, and this time I came to the capital with the imperial edict."
"I have met Mr. Wu" Chen Jiu bowed respectfully and held the etiquette of a Confucian disciple.
Wu Xiu helped Chen Jiu up and laughed: "I remember you. People say that you are the future star of my Confucianism. He is as good as a saint. Now when you see it, you are really extraordinary and phoenix among people."
Wu Xiu was thinking about why the name Chen Jiu was a little familiar, but then suddenly remembered that a storm broke out in Qingzhou Prefecture a few years ago. It is said that Chen Jiu from Qingyang Academy has the posture of a future saint, and is the leader of future Confucianism. He was not believed in it before, but today he had to taste what he saw. He was indeed extraordinary.
"Sir, I'm too proud," Chen Jiu said modestly again.
Wu Xiu looked at Chen Jiu and liked him the more he looked at him: "Chen Jiu, you have been here in Shangjing and it is still more than a year before you can take the exam. Have you ever settled in Shangjing here?"
After hearing Wu Xiu's words, Chen Jiu felt aroused his heart and said quickly: "Mr. Thanks to the question, the student has come to Beijing for the first time and has no place to settle down yet."
Wu Xiu supported Chen Jiu: "As expected, I have a mansion given by the emperor in Shangjing. Although I have many family members, it is not a problem to accommodate you. Just move here to live with me."
Chen Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he had this premonition when Wu Xiu asked a question before, after he really said it, Chen Jiu's heart suddenly jumped up. The one in front of him was a great scholar. If he could be together, he would definitely make some progress.
"Thank you for your promotion to Mr. Chen Jiu, " said hello to Wu Xiu, and did not refuse.
"Okay, okay, it's worthy of being the future Qilin of my Confucianism. It's not as artificial as an ordinary scholar. It's really extraordinary. You can go on the road with me along the way."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen Jiuyili.
General Wang on the side saw the two of them talking and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Wu. The Confucianism has obtained this Qilin son, which is indeed a sign of the great prosperity of Confucianism."
Wu Xiu touched his beard with satisfaction: "The general has been awarded for his reward, but he has not yet thanked the general for his support."
General Wang looked at the corpse underground and looked ugly: "No one expected that Fang Xiandao was so rampant that he not only captured Chaozhou, but also dared to assassinate the great scholars of the world, regardless of our human fortune. It is really a crime that deserves death."
Chen Jiu was silent after hearing this, and after a while, he said, "This is also impossible. If there is oppression, there will be resistance. If the court is not kind, it is no wonder that the people rebelled and officials forced the people to rebel. The people had to rebel, and they couldn't even afford to eat, so what else would they have to worry about?"
As soon as these words were spoken, General Wang's face turned dark instantly. He was a loyal and loyal member of the court, otherwise he would not have been sent to protect the great scholars of the times.
Although Chen Jiu said something ugly, it is all facts. The most important thing is that Chen Jiu is a warrior in the realm of magical powers, and he saved himself and others. It is difficult to turn against him. Even if he turns against him, he will just ask for trouble.
Wu Xiu laughed and brought the topic over, and the few people he met were embarrassed: "General, when will we go on the road?"
The general looked at the sky: "You can get on the road in a moment."
Chen Jiu looked at Wu Xiu: "Sir, I have two friends, I don't know sir,?"
"It's okay, it's okay, just go with you," said Wu Xiu.
Chen Jiu looked at Wu Xiu's family. After the previous chaos, order had been restored at this time and was worthy of being a great scholarly family.
"Since that's the case, then the students will make arrangements first and go on the road with the teacher at that time." Chen Jiu bowed and said goodbye.
Yu Youyu and Fu Dachuan had been standing aside to watch the fun before. When he saw Chen Jiu coming back, he smiled softly: "Boss, how about it? What benefits does that great scholar give us?"
Chen Jiu gave him a blank look: "It's a bit promising. This is a great scholar of the world. Why is it so vulgar? The gentleman has promised us to live in the gentleman's mansion when we go to Beijing. If you have any knowledge, you can ask for advice at any time. Is there any better benefit than this?"
Yu Youyu's eyes lit up: "This kind of opportunity is rare, we are making a lot of money this time."
Chen Jiu kicked Yu Youyu: "Just know."
Shangjing is the capital of a country.
"Is this going to the capital?" Chen Jiu looked at Shangjing City in a vain and sighed softly.
It is worthy of being the capital of a country. Its glorious atmosphere is definitely not comparable to ordinary cities. The most important thing is that the dragon energy and the vicissitudes of history are ordinary things.
Wu Xiu stood beside Chen Jiu, his eyes were filled with emotion: "Yes, this is the Shangjing of our clan, which is the place where our human clan is in general. Countless ancestors are stained with blood again. This Shangjing suppresses the fortune of human clans, which is the place where the dragon clans rises. Once the Shangjing is lost in the future, our human clan will be not far from destruction."
General Wang on one side was at this time: "The central axis of Shangjing is Zhuquemen Street, also known as Chengtianmen Street. The southern end starts from Mingde Gate in the middle of the outer city, and goes north through Zhuquemen Gate at the south gate of the imperial city, and Chengtian Gate at the south gate of the palace city, which runs straight through the north and south of the city. Eleven north-south-south streets, including this street, and fourteen east-west streets form a neat road network, which marks the whole city into several chessboard grids.
The poem "Hundreds of thousands of families are like Go games, and the Twelve Streets are like vegetable beds" is a portrayal of this uniform chessboard pattern. The whole city takes Zhuquemen Street as the middle boundary and is divided into two parts: Wannian County in the east and Chang'an County in the west.
Tai Chi Palace (the palace where the emperor Ting Zhenghe lives) is located at the northern end of the central axis. The Shangshu Province, Taipu Temple, Censorate, Honglu Temple, Dushuijian and Zuoqianniuwei are all parallel to each other with Zhuquemen Street as the axis. There is Taimiao at the southeast corner of the imperial city and the Sheji Altar at the southwest corner.
The residential area is also divided into two parts equal to the east and west with Zhuquemen Street as the axis. The imperial city and the palace city are twelve fangs in the east and west, and the Zhuquemen Street in the south of the imperial city is forty-three fangs in the east and west (of which the southeast corner is Qujiangchi, if subtracted, there will be one fang on the east side). The commercial area "city" is also divided into East City and West City, belonging to Wannian County and Chang'an County, and is listed on the east and west sides.
The imperial city and the palace city are located in the southern part of the city. The central axis of the city starts from Lizhengmen in the south, passes through the imperial city Lingxing Gate, the palace city Chongtian Gate, the Daming Hall, the Yanchun Pavilion, the Houzai Gate, and passes through Wanning Bridge to the "central platform" west of the central pavilion (now north of the Gu Tower).
There are three city gates on the south side of the outer city, called Lizheng Gate in the south, Wenming Gate in the east, Shuncheng Gate in the west. There is a straight main road in each of the two city gates, which leads straight to the north of the city, and there is also a main road between the two city gates (with a few exceptions).
These trunk roads are crisscrossing, including Shuncheng Street, a total of nine north and south trunk roads, forming a chessboard-like pattern. Only facing west of the "center platform", a slanted street is opened along the northeast bank of Jishuitan to meet the needs of transportation and commercial development here because it is located at the end of Tonghui River.
The street is straight, from one end you can see the other end, from this gate you can see the opposite gate. There are parallel small streets and alleys arranged between the streets. Because Shangjing is windy and the weather is cold in winter, the streets and alleys are mainly east-west, and residents' residences are distributed on the north and south sides of each street and alley. In this way, each residence can establish a main hall and bedroom facing north and south, which facilitates sunshine heating, ventilation and lighting.
Speaking of this, General Wang smiled softly: "I went to the capital city to deduce the time, measure the past and the present, follow the changes of the Zhoutian, suppress the four seasons, and is the supreme treasure land of our human race. The human race is where the fortune of humanity is. As long as we go to the capital, our human race will be safe."
Chen Jiu felt emotion when he heard this: "It is really the foundation of our human race."
General Wang said: "The city gathers all the elites in the world, and masters gather. The hidden predecessors live in Shangjing to suppress our human race. As long as someone dares to offend Shangjing, countless strong people will come out to suppress it. According to legend, the core area of Shangjing is an ancestor of our human race. He is a powerful person who has broken through the realm of magical powers and promoted to the realm of Earth Demon. It is thanks to this ancestor that our human race can be fearless of alien races."
