I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 27
Early in the morning, not long after dawn, Li Yuntang received the little emperor's secret order, changed into a straight body worn by ordinary people with a flat head, and set off for the outer city to handle errands.

From inside the palace to the outer city, the shortest way is naturally to take the central axis of the Forbidden City, along the Meridian Gate, Chengtian Gate, Dahan Gate, until you go outside the Zhengyang Gate.

But that was the treatment only the emperor had. As a young eunuch, Li Yuntang's only way was to go out through Dong'an Gate, make a big circle from the east, and then go out of the inner city.

After crossing the Yuhe Bridge and passing through the two Dong'an Gates, he stood in the middle of Heyan Street and looked behind him; his eyes fell on the gate tower on the top of Xieshan covered with yellow glazed tiles, and suddenly there was a trace of reluctance in his heart:
Since time travel, Li Yuntang has been staying in the imperial city, almost inseparable from the little emperor; this sudden parting from her, although the time will not exceed a day, but there is still a faint melancholy in his heart.

But after all, it was the business that mattered, Li Yuntang rubbed his face, took a breath into the palm of his hand, tried his best to hide the thousands of thoughts in his heart, and turned to go south.

In the capital of the Han Dynasty, the perimeter of the outer gate was nearly thirty miles, and the inner and outer cities combined had a population of one million. Although it was still early in the morning, the streets were already full of people and traffic.

Although I dare not say that this is the busiest place in the world, it is also a bustling city that is second to none.

However, the original son of Prince Qin never went out for a stroll before he was alive, and stayed in the Prince Qin's mansion all day long, never leaving the gate.

Therefore, except for the people in the palace, almost no one knew him; even the few meetings with the little emperor when he was young were inadvertently brought about by the old emperor when he brought the crown prince to the Qin palace.

So now when Li Yuntang was on his way, he couldn't help but look around a few more times, especially paying attention to the city walls of the capital hidden behind the pavilions, where he could only glimpse a little bit for the time being.

After all, before crossing, most of these city walls and towering gate towers were turned into dust.

The journey of six or seven miles, he watched it casually, and inadvertently, he had already completed more than half of it; a tall and majestic Zhengyangmenguan City, which is a collection of archery towers, city towers and urn city, came into his eyes.

Although this pass city has survived to later generations, Li Yuntang has never been there, so before entering the arch-shaped doorway with a height of more than three feet, he was deeply shocked and couldn't help but take a second look; The doorman gave a reprimand before rushing in.

From the door opening, you entered the Weng City of Zhengyangmen Guancheng; in this Wengcheng, what caught Li Yuntang's eyes at once was not the more imposing Zhengyangmen Archery Tower in the south, nor the Guandi on the west side. Temple, but a towering stone tablet in front of the Guanyin Temple on the east side.

Upon closer inspection, it was not a stone tablet, but a square pillar made of mottled blue bricks; the pillar was about two feet high, and there were two large characters written on it - Zhisha!
On the lower side of the large characters, there are several lines of small characters for annotations. After browsing, Li Yuntang knew the origin of this square column:
On the way back to the court when Emperor Taizong destroyed the remnant Qing in the north, he saw the Liaodong side wall that had been abandoned by the Qing Dynasty, so he ordered people to search some of the whole bricks in the remnants and transport them back to the pass.

Then use these bricks to build a tall square column before each of the 24 former cities in Guannei, including Jidu, Jinguan, Yinxia, ​​Chang'an, and Jianye, and write the word "knowing shame".

Taking so much effort to build stone pillars is to let the Han people remember the lesson of the imminent subjugation and the shame of being regarded as a pariah, and warn future generations not to make the same mistakes again.

And these square pillars are made from the bricks of the destroyed Liaodong city wall, which has a deep meaning-Emperor Taizong wanted to publicize the wolfish ambition of Jianlu to split the core territory of the Han family in this way, so that future generations will remember, The truth of "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different"!
The reason why we say that destroying the Great Wall is tantamount to splitting the Han land, we have to start with the significance of the Great Wall to the Han people.

Since ancient times, a concept has been deeply rooted in Zhuxia's mind: the Great Wall is the dividing line between China and Yidi, and within the Great Wall is the core territory of China.

Even Zhao Song, who only owned a small section of the Great Wall in Fengzhou in the entire country, never forgot that Liaodong is a traditional Han land. can embody this principle.

And Jianlu demolished the city wall in order to impose a concept on the Han people. Outside of Shanhaiguan, it was not Han soil from the beginning to the end, but the Longxing land of "My Qing Dynasty".

Otherwise, in the original history, after demolishing the Liaodong city wall, why did they spend a lot of money to build a wicker side, and played a trick of taking off their pants and farting.

It's not that "I Daqing" is stupid and unresponsive, but that there is endless malice simmering inside.

Later generations mentioned that the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty was "from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west". It can be seen that this concept was successfully implanted, and the impression of the traditional Han land in Liaodong has almost been erased.

Standing in Wengcheng, Li Yuntang had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know that Emperor Taizong's good intentions had some effect now.

But time was running out, and Li Yuntang couldn't spend too much time here, so he walked towards the outer city from the small gate on the east side of Weng City.

When queuing up to pass the gate, the few people in front of him passed the ground just fine, but when it was his turn, he was stopped by two guards. One of them straightened the red-tasseled iron helmet on his head, and said:
"Young master, please take a step to speak."

Then he couldn't help but pull Li Yuntang aside.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuntang knew that it was to extort some money. He was just about to say that he didn't have any, but it seemed that his thoughts had been seen through. The guard said something directly, blocking his escape route:
"Although the young master is not well dressed, his skin is tender and his hands are not calloused at all. They look better than my mother-in-law's hands. He must be a man from a poor family.

People like you, when you lose power, no one will help you, but you still have some money left in your hand. "

……

Li Yuntang didn't know whether this person's guess was correct or not. It was in line with what he said that he was exterminated. But he couldn't reveal his identity because the emperor entrusted him with an important task, so he shouldn't be too public.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuntang still decided to put the matter to rest. He reached out and took out two one-two silver coins and handed them out. The guard was not greedy, so he waved his hand to his companions in the doorway after collecting the money, and let them leave. go.

After walking out of the Zhengyangmen Gate, Li Yuntang cursed the little pawn secretly, and at the same time his mood was depressed a lot. This group of people has not received any influence under the pillar of "knowing shame" all day long. unambiguous.

While walking and thinking, he suddenly felt that he had hit a wall, felt a pain in his body, and then fell backwards.

Li Yuntang looked up, and in front of him was a burly Breti with a hooked nose and freckles. Several partners behind him quickly followed and surrounded him.

As for the reason why he is a Brettian at a glance, it is the St. George's flag printed on the shirt on the hook-nosed chest.

A few Han people walking around saw them and wanted to help, but they were intimidated by the foreign attendants with big arms and short knives pinned to their waists.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention when I was walking."

Li Yuntang is not a domineering person, he made a mistake in this matter first, and he was still in a weak position, so he showed his favor first.

This was answered in Chinese. As far as he knew, foreigners who were active in Dahan must be able to speak Chinese or have a translator who can speak Chinese with them. Otherwise, once they were caught and proved not to speak Chinese, they would be immediately detained repatriation.

The hooked nose squatted down, and also replied in Chinese: "You Khitan people, don't you use your eyes to see the road when you walk?"

Khitan people...

The entanglement between the Great Han Dynasty and Shuchi Ulus has been heard by almost all European countries, so they also know that the Han people hate it very much for outsiders to call themselves Khitans; speaking like this must be intentional offense.

Although Li Yuntang didn't have deep feelings about the title "Khitan people", he also knew the intentions of this person, so he also became angry.

In the capital of the great Han gods, as a Han citizen, and with the help of many Han people around him, if Li Yuntang admits to being cowardly, he will not be able to pass this test in his heart; The problem is bigger.

Li Yuntang was hesitating.A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears;

"stop!"

He looked up, and at some point, four or five guards wearing red-tasseled iron helmets had arrived; the flintlock guns on their shoulders had long since been held flat; and the leader among them was the one who blackmailed Li Yuntang just now. pawn.

Seeing this, what Li Yuntang felt first was not joy, but relief; because the warning of Emperor Taizong seemed to have some subtle influence.
