Chapter 317
I know that Zhuque Street is unusual, but I still feel very shocked when I see it with my own eyes.
The central axis street of Chang'an City is also the glory of this magnificent capital.
It connects the palace city, the imperial city and the outer city from north to south. Its actual width is about 127 meters, which is equivalent to 36 lanes in modern two-way, which is extremely wide and spectacular.
Such a width design is not only for the safety of the emperor's travel, but also shows the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing Zhuque Street, Xiao Ran seemed to see the image of the prosperity of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
The status of Zhuque Street is very important. It is facing the gate of the imperial palace and is one of the most important roads in the whole Chang'an.
Envoys and merchants from various countries entered the inner city of Chang'an along this avenue, leaving countless footprints here, witnessing the magnificent scene of the coming of all nations in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
There are many lifang on both sides of the street.
These lifang are neatly arranged, like small communities, each with different functions.
Some of the neighborhoods were inhabited by dignitaries and nobles, with luxurious mansions; some neighborhoods had shops to meet the daily needs of residents.
Whenever the emperor ascended the throne, or on the winter solstice, the first day of the first month, and the first day of summer, the emperor would personally lead all the officials from the palace in the north of the city, pass through Zhuque Street in a mighty procession, and go to the Yuanqiu Altar outside Mingde Gate to offer sacrifices to the sky.
There were many pedestrians on Zhuque Street, including ordinary people walking and officials riding in carriages.
Although it was winter, there were still many people.
The G-Class was so special that it attracted many people to watch.
Curious about the strange appearance of this behemoth, and how it could move by itself.
The people of the Tang Dynasty could not understand why it could move without horses.
"This is too spacious!" Xiao Ran was shocked.
Li Shimin saw it all and was quite proud of it.
This is much more spacious than the streets of the city that never sleeps more than a thousand years later.
This was more than a thousand years ago... It's terrifying to think about it.
Although time has passed, the Suzaku Street of the Tang Dynasty has disappeared in the dust of history, but the glorious years it represents will remain in people's memory and imagination forever.
Now Xiao Ran didn't expect to be able to see Suzaku Street with his own eyes and feel its majestic style and prosperous scene.
A sense of pride arises in his heart.
"How does it feel?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
"It's really spacious. Uncle, if you have a chance, you should go there too."
Li Shimin nodded, "I must go, forget it recently, let's do it later!"
"It's cold in winter now, and there are fewer people. If it's spring, summer, and autumn, there will be more people..."
Li Shimin introduced Suzaku Street to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran also saw that many families were decorated with lights and colors, and they were also preparing to welcome the new year.
Xiao Ran didn't drive fast. When he reached the other side of Suzaku Street, Xiao Ran stopped the car, "I have to go back. If Mingda wakes up and can't see me, he may make a fuss."
Xiao Ran also realized this.
"Okay!" Li Shimin was a little unhappy, but he had to admit that Xiao Ran doted on the little princess.
The little princess became more and more dependent on Xiao Ran.
Li Shimin liked the car Xiao Ran sent him. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Li Shimin pointed and said, "Your house is in Xingdaofang, next to the palace. Do you want to go and see it?"
"Uncle, let's talk about it later. I have to go back today. Mingda will wake up soon." Xiao Ran looked at the time. The little princess had a regular schedule.
The house was deserted and seemed to have nothing interesting.
The house was definitely not as good as Li Shimin's palace. Several princesses didn't even want to live in the palace, and Xiao Ran didn't want to go to the house.
"Okay!"
This time, seeing the black G-Class, the soldiers at the gate didn't dare to stop them and quickly made way.
The soldiers looked respectful. They respected Li Shimin, the emperor.
Charge into battle and kill the enemy.
Li Shimin has a very high prestige and a strong personal charm.
Li Shimin's influence is unique in the Tang Dynasty.
Not only in the early days of the founding of the country, but even in the late Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's influence is still there.
A song of Qin Wang Pozhen music can prolong the country for the Tang Dynasty, which is enough to prove Li Shimin's influence.
Protected the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years by himself.
There is no one before, and it is difficult to have such a person in the future.
Parked the car in front of the Taiji Hall, "Uncle, be careful when you drive by yourself."
"Okay, okay, I know!"
"Instant noodles have no nutrition, eat it occasionally, don't eat it all the time!" Xiao Ran couldn't help saying.
"Isn't it delicious? It's delicious, how can it be nutritious? Besides, didn't I add sausages and boiled eggs?" Li Shimin still likes to eat it.
"Okay, okay, uncle, as long as you like it."
Several people got off the car, and Xiao Ran helped Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi walksGo to the other side to help Princess Gaoyang.
"How are you three going to get back?"
"I'll arrange a carriage!"
"No need, we can just walk over, I also want to see the inside of the palace." Xiao Ran said.
"That's fine! I'm going to make a phone call tonight." Li Shimin explained in advance.
"Okay, I'll pick you up in the evening." Xiao Ran also agreed.
After that, Xiao Ran and the other two left.
Xiao Ran looked at Li Lizhi, "Wu Niang, put on your hat."
"Okay!" Li Lizhi put on the hat of her down jacket.
"Seventeen, you too."
"Brother, it's not cold." Princess Gaoyang also obediently put on her hat after saying that she was not cold.
Several people returned to Fengyang Pavilion with laughter, and many palace maids and princesses saw Xiao Ran.
It was not normal for a man to appear here, but Li Lizhi and Princess Gaoyang were there, so no one cared about it.
"The palace is so big!" Returning to the inner hall of the little princess, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh.
It is much bigger than the parks in the ancient city.
"It's okay actually. What the young master has walked is only a small first part!"
Li Lizhi smiled.
"When the weather is good in the future, go out and take a look at other places."
"Okay!" Xiao Ran's identity is definitely not suitable, but Li Lizhi is accompanying him, and Empress Changsun and Li Shimin have no objection, so there is no problem.
Li Lizhi pulled Xiao Ran's arm, and Princess Gaoyang also knew what to do. She didn't need Xiao Ran to tell her, so she pulled Xiao Ran's arm.
The three returned to the villa.
"Yushu, is Mingda awake?" Xiao Ran asked hurriedly.
"Young master, no! Qingping is watching from above."
"That's good!" Xiao Ran walked to the second floor and saw Qingping holding the sleepy little princess out.
The little princess was confused, "Little nurse~ Hug me~"
"Okay!" Xiao Ran hurried over and took the little princess.
The time was just right.
Cuiwei also came out holding Princess Chengyang.
Both little princesses are very punctual.
