Tang's dining table

Chapter 679 The emperor finally left

Yun Chu tore down the city wall and had no intention of building it again.

The walled Chang'an City failed to withstand any enemy raids.

Since this is the end, what is the purpose of building the city wall? To facilitate Anlushan, Shi Siming, Huang Chao, Tubo and Uighur people to enter the city and trap the people in Chang'an City, burn, kill and loot. In order to facilitate them to build a huge city wall. The stone mill grinds people into pulp and eats them as military rations?

Chang'an was destroyed six times, and the emperor moved nine times... Since then, Chang'an has experienced a decline that lasted for more than a thousand years.

Chang'an without city walls not only reassures the emperor in Luoyang, but also makes it easier for the people in the city to escape when history returns to orthodoxy. If you can escape, you can escape as many times as possible, which is a good deed...

"The city is not too high, the pond is not too deep, the army and revolution are not not strong, and the rice and millet are not not abundant, but if we leave them alone, the favorable terrain is not as good as the people.

Therefore, it is said that the people of the region do not rely on the boundaries of the frontier, the dangers of mountains and rivers to consolidate the country, and the benefits of military revolution to dominate the world. Those who have attained the truth will receive much help, while those who have lost the truth will receive little help. When there is little help, relatives are nearby. If you help more, the world will follow. As long as the world agrees,"

Although this sentence is a saying about a chariot, it has a more tragic meaning when applied to the majestic city of Chang'an.

So what about the Khan of Heaven? What's the use of showing off his power outside the territory many times? As soon as Yuyang's drums sounded, Chang'an was doomed.

Yunchu didn't want his Chang'an to become the most famous footnote of this sentence. He just wanted to let the world know that Chang'an had no city walls, but no one dared to spy on it...

He hoped that when the enemy was spying on Chang'an, even a farmer would dare to raise a manure fork to resist, and even a woman would dare to raise a kitchen knife to demand the enemy to surrender...

He wants Chang'an City to become an unconquerable and unbreakable city recognized by everyone in the world!

"Is this why you said that the 60% the emperor gave to build the city wall was enough and there was still some leftover?"

Wen Wen thought for a long time before she finally figured out Yun Chu's thoughts.

"Yes, a strong army is truly powerful. Just like now, we have demolished the walls of Chang'an City. Who dares to invade Chang'an?"

Wen Wen shook his head and said: "The decline of the imperial army is inevitable."

Yun Chu said: "As long as the people of Chang'an still have the courage."

"How do we cultivate the courage of Chang'an people?"

"This is the reason why I kept those old thieves. I heard that Huo Du and the others have formed a convoy and are planning to take a batch of jobs from the county government and go to the Western Regions to make money."

"Do you respect yourself when raising bandits?"

"We don't want the bandits to respect themselves. We just hope that the people in Guanzhong will get used to killing, licking blood from their swords, and use their own force to earn a living."

"When the time comes, once Chang'an is in danger, you can raise your arms and gather a hundred thousand warriors immediately?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "That's not the case. As long as I hear someone spying on Chang'an, I will let them kill them without leaving a blade of grass behind."

Wen Wen shook her head and said, "Isn't this too overbearing?"

Yun Chu said: "We always say that foreigners are afraid of power and have no morals. In fact, this sentence is applicable to all countries. Kill one when you see one, kill ten when you see ten, kill a hundred when you see a hundred. When we kill a million people, even the emperor will not dare to go to Chang'an easily."

Wen Wen looked into Yun Chu's eyes and said, "The emperor doesn't even dare to come?"

Yun Chu patted Gentle's shoulder and said, "Why do you think I am so humiliated and vigorously developing Chang'an?

I just want a bright place to appear on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Not for the emperor, not for ourselves, just for the sake of a paradise in this land of the old Qin people.

A land where people can live like humans. "

Her gentle eyes did not move away and she continued: "Rebellion?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If you don't rebel, just develop bit by bit and move forward bit by bit. By the time the emperor realizes that something is wrong with Chang'an, Chang'an at that time is no longer a place he can move."

Two frightening rays of light suddenly burst out from his gentle eyes, and he grabbed Yun Chu's hand and said, "I still think rebellion is more interesting."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "We rebelled, and the most proud people are the foreigners. All the suffering has been made by the Tang people. We will not do anything to take advantage of them."

Wen Wen turned around angrily and said, "Shu Zi is not enough!"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Think about it, if the two of us rebel, who will you kill first?"

Gentle and expressionless, he said: "Di Renjie."

"Where's the second person?"

"Liu Rengui!"

"How about you go and kill me?"

"I can't do it, so you go ahead."

Yun Chu patted Wen Wen's shoulder again and said, "Neither of us brothers have the qualities to become unparalleled villains, so we should forget about rebellion."

Wen Wen let out a long breath and said, "My Azu said that neither of us can make it. You can't be a great villain, and I can't be a vicious mastermind."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "That's how things are. When things are done, if I become a king or an emperor, the first person I want to kill will be you. I still dare not think about killing you." What am I like?

So, let's just mix it up, maybe by mixing it up we can make Chang'an look like what we need. "

Wen Wen nodded and said: "The emphasis on love and righteousness combined with being too soft-hearted is the biggest shortcoming of the two of us. We must change it in the future..."

After a period of business exchanges, both Yunchu and Wenwen were in a good mood - it's not that I can't dominate, it's that I disdain it!

To brag about something you know you can't do is the secret between Yunchu and Wenrou.

It's a pity that you can't tell this kind of joke to Di Renjie, otherwise this guy will be in a dilemma for the rest of his life. He might become a monk or a Taoist priest and hide in the mountains and forests for the rest of his life.

Let alone tell Liu Rengui, once he did, Liu Rengui would exterminate his relatives out of justice. After killing Yun Chu and Wen Wen, he might commit suicide or not, and Yun Chu's whole family, plus Wen Wen's whole family, would die without a burial place. .

If something is not good for you and will embarrass your brothers, just don't do it. Of course, if you are a powerful official, both Di Renjie and Liu Rengui will do their best to help.

On April day, the emperor and the empress led a group of royal family members to leave the city of Chang'an. As recorded in the history books, Liu Rengui became the keeper of Chang'an.

Yun Chu always felt that the reason why the emperor and his wife left Chang'an early was because Yun Chu and the others had dug eight huge gaps in the city wall of Chang'an.

If Emperor Taizong is still alive and wants to launch the Xuanwumen Incident, it will be convenient now. He only needs to defeat the Zhechong Mansion soldiers guarding the gap and then he can directly enter the palace.

At all times, the emperor's safety is the most important thing.

Watching the emperor's car leaving Chang'an, the people of Chang'an City felt as if they were mourning for their heirs. When the emperor left, the people's cries went up to the sky. For this reason, even the hard-hearted Li Zhi and his wife took the risk to appear in Yunchu's deliberately arranged place. In front of the villagers, he drank several bowls of rice wine that Zuo Chun and others had prepared in advance.

The villagers cried endlessly, begging Li Zhi over and over again not to leave Chang'an, and said that there would be no better imperial city than Chang'an in the world.

Li Zhi burst into tears on the spot and said that he would live in the east capital and the west capital alternately in the future, which made the people feel relieved.

After the village elders pinned the Baqiao willow to the emperor and the queen's clothes, the emperor and the empress got into the car and drove eastward across the Baqiao.

Yunchu wrote a poem on the spot and said: "From Shaanxi to Tokyo, the mountains are low and the road gradually becomes flat. The scenery is four hundred miles, and the carriage and horse are thirteen journeys. The flowers are hanging down to look at each other, and the cups are many and the bridles are tilted. Shengsing, singing, talking and laughing, they will be divided according to the situation. OK."

Compared with the people's sorrow of separation, Yunchu's poem is full of hope and freedom.

Li Zhi admired Yunchu's farewell poem very much. After all, moving the capital to Luoyang had always been his wish. Now that the dream has come true, he naturally hopes that he can sing and be happy all the way to Dongdu.

When parting, Yunchu thought that only the tears of Ji Wang Li Shen were real, and the tears of the rest were fake.

The reason why Li Shen was unwilling to leave Chang'an was entirely because Sun Shenxian refused to follow him to Luoyang.

The emperor and the queen are gone, and the biggest official in Chang'an City is Prince Li Hong.

The emperor did not allow Li Hong to stay in Chang'an, but only allowed him to follow Liu Rengui to observe the government for a while to see how Liu Rengui, the stayer in Chang'an, could eliminate the chaos after the emperor left Chang'an in a short period of time.

Without the emperor and empress, Li Hong, the monkey, completely lost all control. Therefore, after repeatedly asking to live in the Yun family but failed, he lost his temper and moved into Qujiang.

The reason why I lived in Qujiang was entirely because a section of the city wall close to Qujiang was dug up by the common people. From there to Yunshi's Jinchangfang, it can be reached by a quick horse and a stick of incense.

Until now, there is still no clear result between Yunchu and Wenwen.

The people are now on the construction site of demolishing the city wall. They are very busy. Not only do they have to dismantle the city wall with rammed earth, but they also have to soak the clay left behind from the demolition of the wall and then bake it into green bricks. In this way, Yunchu has There is no manpower to do anything else.

The people of Chang'an City were deeply disappointed by this incident. After all, the transformation project they had been looking forward to had no resolution after the emperor left.

After the emperor left, the monks in Chang'an City also took Naha away with them. This time, the emperor chose the Baima Temple in Luoyang for Naha's enthronement ceremony instead of staying at Daci'en Temple, a place of the Dharmaxiangshi only sect. Ancestral Court.

This must be a balanced result, that is to say, for Naha to be enthroned, more people from the Buddhist sect need to participate, not just the Dharma Appearance Consciousness Only Sect.

This was an obvious act of mixing sand, and Master Xuanzang agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, nothing could be bigger than Naha’s enthronement ceremony. As long as Naha truly became the Queen of the Buddhist Kingdom, then, This is a huge victory for the Dharma-Appearance Consciousness-only Sect.

However, Yun Chu didn't see it this way. He felt that this was a manifestation of the emperor's unwillingness to believe Xuanzang 100%. Therefore, he used the balancing skills in the court to deal with Xuanzang. In this way, Naha's Buddhist kingdom From now on, it will become a small imperial court, and any problems that arise in the imperial court will appear in it.

However, the Buddhist kingdom that Xuanzang wanted to be as holy as snow-capped mountains could only exist in a dream and could not really appear in this world.
