Rebirth of the King of the World

Chapter 004 Hot and Sour

The Jun family studies once every ten days. Teenagers like Jun Wei and Jun Lu can't get bored, and they must go out to play every holiday.

This day's vacation to go to Qianling was something that Junlu had discussed with Junwei a few days ago. He was a little curious about how Wei Ying knew about this and was still waiting for him on the only way they had to go to Qianling. And staged a good show of a hero saving the beauty for him.

Qianling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Chengzu, and it is also the most majestic mausoleum built among the emperors of Dayan.

Emperor Chengzu was frugal by nature, and he disliked extravagance and waste most of all.It is said that when he first came to the throne, he was so frightened that he did not speak for a long time when he saw the blueprints for the construction of the imperial mausoleum handed over by the Ministry of Industry.There is no other reason, the imperial mausoleum covers too much area, and it costs too much money to build it.

In the past dynasties, there are many emperors who argued with the Ministry of Industry and Household Department because of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, but it was mostly because the emperor had to spend more money. It is to take a step back and reach an agreement with each other.

But when it came to Emperor Chengzu, the situation was reversed. The old man was reluctant to spend too much money on repairing the imperial mausoleum.

The drawings handed over by the Ministry of Industry were changed over and over again, but the ending was always the same. The emperor was not satisfied and had to change again.

At the end of the change, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry wanted to cry, my emperor, you have to save money to a certain extent, if you keep saving like this, it will not be an imperial mausoleum, which is against the rules of the ancestors.

The Hubu Shangshu used to dislike Emperor Chengzu the most. He thought he was too good at spending money. He asked him for money during wars, moved people for money, and asked him for money when he went to sea. Feeling better, the emperor finally knew that it was not easy for him.

Because the money for building the imperial mausoleum was embezzled by Emperor Chengzu for other purposes, the foundation of the Qianling Mausoleum had not been laid until almost 20 years after he ascended the throne. This was something that the previous emperors had never encountered.

That was the most prosperous era of the Dayan Dynasty. The territory of the dynasty included Hanzhou, Cangzhou, Shuozhou, Yizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Yunzhou, Yongzhou, Qingzhou, Wanzhou, Zhuozhou, Lanzhou and Qiongzhou. Thirteen states in total.

The last time the Central Plains Dynasty had such a complete territory was the Shenchuan Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Emperor Shenwu owned the most extensive land in history with the sea in the east, the Gesang Plateau in the west, the desert in the north, and the Yuncang Mountains in the south. great empire.

After Emperor Shenwu, his descendants were unworthy, the dynasty came to an end, and the huge empire was torn apart.

In the fourth year of God's Blessing, Ming King Zhu Chen forced Emperor Ai Shenchuan Yu to take the throne, and the Shenchuan Dynasty collapsed.

Since then, the Central Plains has been caught in a war that lasted for a hundred years. There are many princes and wars, large and small, one after another, but no one has been able to end the troubled times and rule the world.

In the end, the Zhengao people from the northern grasslands took advantage of the vacancy and occupied the splendid Central Plains, a great river and mountain.

Zhengao is a typical nomadic people. They won the world of the Han people, but they never thought of going to the countryside to do as the Romans did. On the contrary, they even wished to change the farmland into pastures.

The bloody and barbaric rule of the Zhengao people lasted for more than a hundred years, and was finally overthrown by various rebels.

When the Dayan Dynasty was founded, the states and counties it controlled were less than one-third of what they are today.

At that time, the four counties in the southeast of Yunzhou fell into the hands of Goryeo; Youzhou and eight counties in the north of Yunzhou, and the two counties in the northeast of Yanzhou fell into the hands of Fuyu; Tiele occupied the nine counties in the north of Shuozhou and the two counties in the northwest of Yanzhou All ethnic groups in Hanzhou became independent one after another, known as "the 36 countries of the Western Regions"; Cangzhou broke away from the rule of the Central Plains dynasty, and the Suser family became the de facto rulers of the Gesang Plateau; the fourteen counties in the southwest of Yizhou fell into the hands of Zhu Xia ; The four counties in the southwest of Qiongzhou fell into the hands of Nanyue; the Ryukyu Islands fell into the hands of Fusang.

Emperor Taizu dedicated his life to regaining the lost land, and the legacy he left for future generations is also to recover the homeland.

With the magic spell left by Emperor Taizu, the successive emperors of the Wei family did not dare to take it lightly, but it was not until Emperor Xingzu's later years that Dayan completely recovered all the lost land in northern Xinjiang and opened up Lingzhou.At this time, it has been 300 years since the founding of the Dayan Dynasty.

During the period of the abolished emperor, Emperor Chengzu, who was still the son of King Qin, took back the lost land in southern Xinjiang.After he ascended the throne, he sent people to recover the Ryukyu Islands.Since then, all the countries in the Western Regions surrendered one after another, and the Suser family on the Gesang Plateau took the initiative to surrender, and the last wish of Emperor Taizu was fully realized.

In addition to being good at fighting, he has never been defeated in the southern and northern wars throughout his life. Emperor Chengzu is also very good at managing people's livelihood-of course, some people say that it is not Emperor Chengzu who is good at it, but Empress Xiaocheng is good at it-but this is not the point. The point is that the treasury finally has no shortage of money.

Hubu Shangshu is the person who loves to sing against Emperor Chengzu the most. If the emperor wants to spend money, he says he has no money.

He was in favor of frugally building the imperial mausoleum at first. The emperor had spent all the treasury money, so it should be deducted from him.But later, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance couldn't stand it anymore, my lord, it's a good thing not to waste, we can't bear to be stingy like you.

Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne late, at the age of 33. The matter of the imperial mausoleum has been dragged on for 20 years.There are not many emperors in the Wei family who have lived past fifty, and this one is already on his way to six.

In the end, all civil and military officials jointly wrote a letter to the effect that we are not short of money, so don't be harsh on yourself, Your Majesty.

Emperor Chengzu couldn't bear it, and for the first time in his life, he made concessions to the court and agreed to the location and area of ​​Qianling.

Compared with the mausoleums of the ancestors of the Wei family, the biggest advantage of Qianling is that it is "big", and there is nothing else incomparable.

Junlu has been to Qianling more than once. In his opinion, Qianling is more like a garden than an imperial mausoleum.However, those who can enter this garden are not ordinary people.

The Qianling Mausoleum is in the style of returning to nature, with many trees and rocks, and a huge stone map of the thirteen prefectures of Dayan.

Anyone who has been to Qianling can feel the shocking pride and high spirits from the heart.Jun Lu sometimes wondered, had Wei Ying been to Qianling, why he couldn't see the temperament and demeanor of Emperor Chengzu at all, what was wrong?

Could it be that Emperor Taizu's last wish came true, and the emperors of the Wei family became slack, and then began to be inferior to each other from generation to generation.

Although Jun Lu's idea is somewhat disrespectful, it is an undisputed fact.

After Chengzu Emperor Wei Chongrong, Ruizong Emperor Wei Qian was considered a very good successor, and the late Emperor Wei Xiu was also not bad, at least he was qualified with no merit or fault.Now that God blesses the emperor, Jun Lu doesn't feel very good about him anymore, and always feels that something is missing.

As for Wei Ying later, and the brothers who were killed by him, Jun Lu didn't want to say anything.

Even if Emperor Shenwu had an unworthy descendant like Shen Chuanyu, it would not be too strange for Emperor Chengzu to share Wei Ying.

Compared with the more and more shameless royal children, Jun Lu's impression of his uncle and his cousins ​​is much better.

If Emperor Ruizong had chosen Juncheng back then, would everything have been different...

Jun Lu found Jun Cheng's booklet in the study of Prince Zhaoyang's mansion, and he admired his opinion very much. What kind of dude is this guy? He is more at ease when he is ineffective.

In Jun Lu's memory, he and Jun Wei met up with their friends when they went out that day, and rode to Qianling together.

But he lived in the cold palace for 18 years, eating leftovers every day, and finally came back, and all the things hadn't happened yet, so he naturally wanted to eat something delicious to make up for his stomach that had been mistreated for many years.

"Ah Wei, how about we eat tofu nao? I want to eat from Uncle Li's." This is what Jun Lu has long wanted to eat.

Jun Wei nodded indifferently: "Since you want to go, then let's go." It's not a big deal.

Shumenshulu arrived at Liji Tofu Nao, Jun Lu said loudly: "Two bowls of hot and sour tofu nao, one bowl does not contain spicy, one bowl does not contain vinegar." Stomach pain; Junlu can't eat vinegar, never touch food with vinegar.

"You two children are really strange. You two are here to eat hot and sour tofu nao, but one doesn't eat spicy food and the other doesn't like jealousy. Are you worthy of Uncle Li's craftsmanship and this bowl of tofu nao with all the flavors and colors? I really don't understand how to appreciate it." ..."

Before Jun Lu finished speaking, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him and entered his ears.
