Longevity Martial Arts Begins by Taking Care of the Queen

Chapter 27 A little farce in front of the city gate

Before entering the capital under the imperial edict, Cao Ze had some knowledge of Zhengjing City, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

Zhengjing City, also known as Jingcheng, was the capital of the Daqian Dynasty. It was located in the center of the Central Plains Basin in Zhongzhou, covering an area of ​​more than 2000 square kilometers and with a population of more than [-] million. It was the most populous and prosperous city in the entire Daqian Dynasty.

The seventeen states of the entire Daqian Dynasty had a population of 23 billion. The core four states of Zhongzhou, Qianzhou, Shenzhou and Leizhou accounted for [-] million people. Each of the three Gyeonggi states had a population of more than [-] million, and the population of Zhongzhou exceeded [-]. [-] million.

There are countless cities in Zhongzhou. For example, Xuyang City has a population of more than four million, but it is far behind Zhengjing City. The population of Zhengjing City accounts for nearly one-tenth of Zhongzhou.

With such a huge population, the urban construction requirements for Zhengjing City are very strict. After dozens of expansions, the entire Zhengjing City covers an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers.

Zhengjing City has a strict urban construction plan. It is roughly square in shape and spans more than two hundred miles in length and width. It is divided into five levels: the palace city, the imperial city, the capital city, the inner city, and the outer city. It has many walls and is very large.

What Cao Ze saw now was the outer city. The outer city's wall was the tallest, about sixty feet high. Compared with it, Xuyang City's [-]-meter city wall was "dwarfed."

There are 24 gates in the outer city, six on each wall. Each gate has five doorways. Each doorway is five feet wide and the gate is ten feet deep.

This is a three-dimensional military city with unique defensive characteristics that takes advantage of mountains and rivers, takes advantage of rivers and lakes.

Cao Ze withdrew his gaze, exhaled a breath, and couldn't help but sigh: "It deserves to be the most powerful city in the world!"

Zhengjing City was the most majestic city in the Daqian Dynasty, and even the most majestic city in the world. Compared with the capitals of the Xuanzhen Dynasty and the Yunyang Empire, they were slightly inferior to Zhengjing City. This was generally recognized.

Xuyang City is to the south of Zhengjing City. Cao Ze led his army without taking a detour and arrived at the south city of Zhengjing City.

One hundred thousand Earth Splitting Army stopped, led by Cao Lang, and found a place to camp outside the city. Cao Ze, Xue Ningmei and Cao Zhengyu continued to advance in carriages, preparing to enter Zhengjing City.

In front of Mingxuan Gate, there are soldiers guarding both sides of the five doorways. There are fifty on each side. They are smart, strong, and energetic. They are elite at first glance, at least in the third level.

The four doorways on the left and right have a large number of pedestrians coming and going, for officials and common people to walk, leaving from the left and entering from the right, without violating the rules; the doorway in the middle does not have pedestrians entering or exiting, it is the royal road, the emperor's exclusive use, and is connected to the Chidao in the city.

The arrival of two carriages and [-] earth-shattering troops instantly aroused great concern. Countless people looked here and talked about it, even the soldiers guarding the city.

Some well-informed people recognized the Chenliu Cao family's logo on the carriage, and some well-informed people also guessed that it was the Cao clan's army that entered Beijing under the imperial edict.

Two luxury carriages were traveling, and countless pedestrians on the right side gave way voluntarily, not daring to hinder them in the slightest.

In front of the doorway on the right side of Mingxuan Gate, two figures, a man and a woman, were preparing to enter the city. They were also attracted by this movement. They looked back and their pupils suddenly shrank.

"Brother, which prince is this? How dare you lead an army outside the capital. Being so arrogant and domineering, you don't take Emperor Qian and the princes of the capital seriously, right?" The woman was wearing a light yellow dress, her lips were pink at this time. Opened slightly, eyes full of surprise.

The senior brother she spoke of was a young man with a handsome face, a jade tree facing the wind, dressed in brocade clothes, with a purple jade hanging from his waist, and a sword.

The young man was about to respond when he saw the crowd giving way to one side. He frowned slightly, but still motioned to his junior sister to give way to avoid getting into trouble.

The junior sister curled her lips slightly, a little reluctantly, but she still obediently walked aside to make way. Her eyes fell on the two luxury carriages, and she was filled with confusion.

Seeing that the junior sister was not being naughty, the young man in brocade breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the two carriages and was ready to answer the junior sister's question, but he paused and looked at the approaching carriage with a frown.

"It's Chen Liu and Cao who are here, no wonder." The young man in brocade clothes muttered in his heart, but did not respond to the woman in the light yellow dress for a while.The young man in Jinyi has an extraordinary background. He was born in Yujian Villa, a top power in the three states of Gyeonggi Province. This time he came to Beijing with a mission.

Nowadays, there is a fierce fight in the capital, and the political forces in the three prefectures of the capital are within the scope of their wooing. Yujian Villa, where the young man in Jinyi lives, is the key target of wooing.

Before coming to the capital, the owner of Yujian Villa had a secret conversation with him, in which he vaguely revealed the direction of Yujian Villa's alignment.

Yujian Villa is not leaning towards Emperor Qian, and certainly not the side of General Chu Yuan. The top management of Yujian Villa is leaning towards one of the three kings.

When the young man in Jinyi comes to the capital this time, in addition to accompanying his junior sister to visit the most powerful city in the world, the most important task is to find out the situation in the capital and send the information back, and then Yujian Villa will make the final decision.

But the young man in Jinyi knew that there was a high probability that Yujian Villa would not choose Emperor Qian. It seemed that one of the three kings had revealed some key information to Yujian Villa.

It was precisely because of this that when he saw Chenliu Cao's men entering the capital, the young man in Jinyi did not respond. He planned to wait until they entered the city before responding to his junior sister, so as not to get into big trouble. After all, the two sides were vaguely enemies.

Yujian Villa has not yet chosen a supporter, and there is no news about it. Naturally, the Chenliu Cao family does not know about it either. The young man in Jinyi is also cautious in doing this.

The carriage was getting closer and closer, but before the senior brother responded, the woman in the light yellow dress couldn't help but remind him: "Senior brother, do you recognize it?"

The young man in jinyi smiled bitterly in his heart, pretending not to hear and not seeing the pretty angry face of his junior sister.

The young man in Jinyi hoped that the two carriages would enter the city quickly, and then he could explain to his junior sister, but things did not go as he expected.

A middle-aged general in armor and a group of generals quickly came down from the tower, walked quickly through the doorway, and stopped the two carriages.

The middle-aged general came to the first carriage and asked in a deep voice: "Who is coming?"

"What is the purpose of leading troops to Beijing?"

He knew where the army outside the city came from and who was in the two carriages, but he still stopped the carriage.

The soldiers who were originally looking relaxed and watching the carriage enter the city suddenly became nervous. They each clenched their weapons and stared at the carriage.

"I thought he was some big shot, but he was blocked from entering the city." The woman in the yellow skirt muttered softly when she saw this scene.

The young man in brocade clothes quickly shook his head at her.

At this time, a steady and powerful voice came from the carriage.

"Cao Ze, the cavalry general of the Daqian Dynasty, was ordered to go to Beijing to put down the rebellion."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the city gate. Many people who did not know Cao Ze's identity were shocked at this moment.

What shocked them was not that Cao Ze was a cavalry general, but that Cao Ze was ordered to go to Beijing to put down the rebellion. The capital was peaceful and peaceful, so how could there be any rebellion?
