Guan County was 1,500 miles away from Chang 'an!
If it was the flat official road of the Central Plains, it would take less than three days for a horse to travel 1,500 miles at full speed.
The fastest speed of a horse could reach sixty to seventy kilometers per hour, but it could not last long. Moreover, it needed to eat, drink, and rest. Therefore, it would take five to six hours to run 100 kilometers.
The fastest horse could run 400 kilometers, which was 800 miles, day and night if the road conditions were good.
The so-called '800 Li Urgent' was to send urgent information and request to travel 800 Li day and night.
Most of the time, one horse was not enough to travel eight hundred miles in a hurry. They had to change horses at the relay station midway.
Li Lizhi and the others didn't need to rush back to the palace. Besides, they didn't just take the official road. There was also the Shu Road, which was difficult to climb up to the sky.
Ten days passed just like that!
Li Lizhi ran away from the wedding on the 15th of March and arrived in Guan County half a month later. She stayed there for ten days and then went back for another ten days.
When the three of them appeared at the west gate of Chang 'an, outside the Golden Light Gate.
It was already the morning of the 20th of April, the fourth year of Zhenguan!
Under the morning light!
The city gates were wide open, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city.
After entering the city, it was also full of traffic. Business travelers from Suzhou, Yangzhou, and other countries in the Western Regions were everywhere.
There were many people on the streets dressed in luxurious clothes. Rich merchants and noble servants gathered.
Of course, the majority of them were dressed in plain clothes!
"You're back!" Wen Ya smiled.
"Princess, look, Chang 'an has more rich people!”
Yuchi Baolin pointed at the Beggar's Sect members in the corner and said,""But it's not like there aren't beggars!”
In an instant, Wenya remembered this.
In an instant, she fell into deep thought!
It was a stark contrast. Indeed, there were more rich people in Chang 'an and more wealth in Chang' an.
However, there were beggars and people who couldn't afford to eat!
The sense of happiness under the emperor's feet could not compare to the small county town managed by the county magistrate of the border town.
This was a fact, an indisputable fact!
Li Lizhi had a new feeling when she saw this.
" I've been in Chang 'an for so many years," she said thoughtfully." I've always thought that this is the best, richest, and happiest place in the world."”
"Yes, many people in Chang 'an think so.”
"But not all of them!"
"As for Guan County, all the people think that Guan County is the happiest place in the world.”
"Lin Hao only used nearly two years to achieve this.”
She sighed and said," And this Chang 'an City, which was rebuilt in the southeast of Chang' an City in the Han Dynasty, lasted for a generation in the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty had built a new capital city.”
"Sui Ming Emperor Yang Guang and the great contribution of building the eastern capital Luoyang.”
"But since the founding of the Tang Empire, the Li family has been in charge of Chang 'an for nine years and Zhenguan for seven years.”
Haha!
"Sixteen years, sixteen years, two generations of emperors 'management is not as good as the management of one county magistrate and nearly two.”
Li Lizhi blushed.
Even though she did not want to belittle her grandfather and father's ability to govern, she felt her face hurt.
However, the education she had received over the years made her have no choice but to speak the truth.
Yuchi Baolin looked in the direction of the Zhangsun Manor and clenched his fists!
"It's them, these aristocrats who don't care about the country's foundation. They use their power to do whatever they want, oppress the commoners, and monopolize the official career.”
"It was them who caused the new talents of the Imperial Court to be all second-generation noobs.”
"As for Lin Hao, Qinwen, and the others, they were all forced to do that!”
Wenya also looked in the direction of Chancellor Lu Shou's residence and gritted her teeth.""They're really detestable. I want to kill them.”
Whoosh!
"Their retribution will come sooner or later," Li Lizhi sighed.”
"Let's go back to the palace first!"
Drive!
The three of them walked forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the Imperial City's Vermilion Bird Gate.
Phew!
At this moment, the three of them reined in their horses. Their eyes lit up as they saw a new scene.
The three of them looked at the entrance of the Vermilion Bird Gate.
The two Golden Armored Thousand Bull Guards were looking at the group of people being escorted in the middle with murderous gazes.
Rather than being escorted, it would be more appropriate to say that he was being escorted politely.
He was only left with handcuffs and shackles!
"Let's go!"
"Hurry up!"
"Don't look around, walk faster!"
The Thousand Bull Guards pushed and shoved, berating the people in the middle.
Judging from the clothes of the people in the middle, they were not from the Great Tang, but barbarians.
The leader had loose hair!
One could tell the difference just by looking at the hairstyle. The men of the Chinese Empire had to tie their hair up and not mess it up. They had to pay attention to their image. A good image was also a form of respect for others. It was a sign of a country of etiquette.
As for the Hu, they hadn't washed their hair for many years, and their hair was so smelly that it was unkempt.
Only the nobles among the Hu would put on a headband to prevent their hair from covering their faces.
This was a sign that the primitive aura had completely left!
This was also one of the differences between the Chinese and the Hu!
The leader was still holding a banner!
The banner section, which was also the token of an envoy, was divided into single banner single section and double banner double section!
Back then, Zhang Qian, the diplomat of the Han Dynasty and the pioneer of the Silk Road, had taken a single banner and a single section when he left Chang 'an!
A single banner with a single section. The banner on the left was made of animal fur. It was white and had sections.
White represented etiquette and friendliness!
The two banners were different. On the left was a white banner, and on the right was a black banner of the same material and style.
Black represented hegemony and conquest!
The left side was friendly, and the right side was conquering. This was because the left side was first before the right side, and the meaning was to be polite before using force.
Therefore, the Double Banners and Double Banners were used for the exchange of envoys between the two armies.
The words that the envoy with the double banners and the double double-section said in the enemy's camp were that if they surrendered, they would be treated well, and if they didn't surrender, they would be killed.
The words that envoys with two banners and two festivals said when they went to other countries were nothing more than words such as giving benefits to be brothers and fighting if they did not give benefits.
In short, it was full of threats!
Yuchi Baolin looked at the flag in the middle of the two banners. It was the red deer totem flag, the Xianbei clan flag.
The totem of the Xianbei people was the red deer totem!
And now, the only country controlled by Xianbei people was Tuyuhun!
Humph!
Yuchi Baolin snorted coldly.”
"You really dare to say that you want to marry the princess and get food?”
"Isn't it because he was chased out by His Majesty?”
"Although His Majesty is not as good as Magistrate Lin in many aspects, his temper is still acceptable," Wen Ya said with a smile.”
Shhh!
Yuchi Baolin hurriedly reminded him. They were already at the gates of the emperor's house, yet he still dared to say such words?
Wen Ya immediately covered her mouth with her jade-like hand. She had almost forgotten about this.
Strange, why would she say something like that?
Why didn't he just compare himself to the Emperor and Magistrate Lin?
Li Lizhi watched as the Tuyuhun envoys were escorted out of the palace and out of the city.
"War is inevitable," she said with a frown.”
"Let's go and listen to the wall!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly returned to the palace.
She was already at the back of the line when she went to ask for forgiveness from her mother. She wanted to eavesdrop on what was being said in the court.
If these people left, the imperial court would definitely come up with a countermeasure!
Coincidentally, Lin Hao's small imperial court had already discussed a countermeasure against Tuguhun.
Not only that, but he also predicted that the people in the imperial court would mess with them.
She wanted to see if these people from the imperial court were trying to disrupt the emperor's hearing and deliberately mess with the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Sword Dao region!
