Chapter 899 Yongding Gate
Tongzhou is under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.
Lin Junran is now the head of the government and is undoubtedly one of his superiors. If he can leave a good impression at the moment, it will not be unimaginable to take over as the governor of Tongzhou in the future.
Jia Xuedao didn't know that his precious son had offended the new boss, but he ran to ask for a meeting.
Lin Weiran is obviously different from Hu Niu. He has the habit of being lazy in bed, especially in this kind of wind and snowy weather, and he wants to hibernate in the warm bed.
When he learned that Jia Xuedao was looking for a meeting, he realized that a murder occurred at the post station. The deceased was Chen Yinshan, who had a great conversation with him last night.
Although he didn't know the situation at the scene when the news of Chen Yinshan's death was still unknown, he immediately smelled a conspiracy. However, he was not the prefect of Shuntian at the moment, and this murder case was naturally handled in the Tongzhou Yamen. It was not his turn, the prefect, to worry about it.
The most important thing is that this matter is obviously not simple, and it is even related to the super big figure who can transfer the seventh-rank magistrate to the sixth-rank magistrate of Wanping, a capital city.
This time he returned to the whirlpool of the capital, but not to punish evil, but to seek higher power. He knew that the water was deep and that he might provoke a super big man, so he naturally had to protect himself and would not be able to encounter this case.
After washing up, I met Jia Xuedao who had been waiting for a long time in the living room.
When I saw Jia Xuedao seeking a meeting like a pug, I remembered the arrogant young master Jia yesterday, but I smiled helplessly. It just fell into Jia Xuedao's eyes, but I mistakenly thought that Lin Qingran had a great impression of him.
After the two talked about something unnutrition, Lin Qingran sent Jia Xuedao away.
After eating the premature plate, Lin Weiran was afraid of trouble, so he immediately led Hu Niu and others toward Beijing.
"Brother, I really think that Chen Yinshan was murdered, but what I think of Lord Jia, is to close the case by suicide!"
In the carriage, Hu Niu was still entangled in Chen Yinshan's case. Her dull face looked indignant, as if she wanted the whole world to punish evil and promote good and become a completely just world.
Lin Qingran was like an old monk entering into meditation, ignoring the chattering wild girl. However, this wild girl was getting smarter and smarter. It was already obvious that Jia Xuedao was not as good as the human heart, and he must have to close the case by suicide.
This is not the fault of Jia Yingdao. Being an official now is either for power or for wealth.
If such cases involving officials in the court are not handled properly, the black hat on their heads may have to be taken off. Even if the case is broken, it may not be a good thing. Maybe it is to find out the big man he can't afford to offend. It is better to be a slightly confused official.
Hu Niu looked at Lin Weiran and ignored him, and then pulled her arm hard and pursued him: "Brother, don't sleep first! The distance is so high, can that Zhang Yinshan really jump up?"
Lin Weiran was shaken by this, but complained: "Hu Niu, am I your biological brother?"
"Oh! Brother, you're talking stupid again! Of course yes, you're not my biological brother, who is?" Hu Niu replied naturally.
Lin Qingran tidied up his hair and glared at him with a blame: "Then you can't be gentle, aren't you afraid of shaking your brother to death?"
"Who told you to ignore me!" Hu Niu had no intention of repentance, but her eyes clearly showed a hint of apology.
Lin Qingran didn't really blame her, so he replied, "Isn't it just one foot high? Look at Ali, and you jumped up with a light jump. Have you listened to the books you have been doing all these years?"
"Brother, didn't you say that the essays are all fake? There are no martial arts masters who know light skills at all, nor are there any martial arts masters who know light skills?" Hu Niu frowned and asked seriously.
Lin Junyan replied irresponsibly: "Brother is not a good friend, so how can you know everything! But look, can Ali jump up easily? Zhang Yinshan may also be a martial arts master!"
Hu Niu frowned slightly and looked at her brother suspiciously, but there was no reason to refute it. Unless she could prove that Chen Yinshan was not a martial arts master and could not jump that high, she could overturn this conclusion.
After a short half a day of itinerary, they finally arrived in front of Beijing.
The tall city walls, towering city towers, magnificent arrow towers, corner towers, soldiers wearing armor, and the moat dozens of meters wide, stand here like a Mount Tai.
The city gate that appeared in front of them was resolutely the "Yongding Gate".
The predecessor of Beijing was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. After Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, seized the throne, he began to build a Beijing palace and city in the fourth year of Yongle. It was completed in the first month of the 19th year of Yongle, which took fifteen years.
In order to build this unprecedented capital, millions of migrant workers were mobilized and countless national treasuries were spent. The reputation of the Ming Baochao was completely collapsed at this time.
During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty added the city of Beijing. The main projects included: brick-packing the inner side of the city wall, excavating the Nanhai of Taiyechi, building the Jiumen City Tower, the urn city and the arrow tower, building the corner tower at the four corners of the city, and archery towers each with a arch outside the city gate. All the wooden bridges on the moat were converted into stone bridges, sluices were set up under the bridge, and the river bank was built with bricks and stones.
However, this addition was mainly to improve the fortifications in Beijing. The overall shape of Beijing city still showed the "mouth" shape, and the circumference of the city wall was forty-five miles.
In the 32nd year of Jiajing, in order to resist the invasion of the Mongolian army, Jiajing decided to build the outer city of Beijing.
In the initial plan, the court planned to build a square outer city of 70 miles outside the city of Beijing, surrounding the current forty miles of Beijing, thus forming a super city with a "未" shape.
After only after the construction of the city wall 18 miles south, the Ming Dynasty's finances were already in short supply and could not build the remaining three walls. With no choice, Jiajing had to give up the original majestic plan and gather the original southern wall and the new southern wall, thus forming the current "convex"-shaped super city.
This new outer city has seven city gates. The three city gates located on the original planned and built south wall are named Yongding Gate, Zuo'an Gate and You'an Gate respectively.
The carriage entered the newly built Yongding Gate and entered the newly built outer city of Beijing, passing through Zhengyangmen Street.
Zhengyangmen Street is very wide, with shops on both sides showing a prosperous atmosphere. This central axis extends forward and connects to the south gate that enters the inner city.
When Lin Xuran arrived here, he took the initiative to pull open the curtains and carefully looked at everything here.
He is no longer a passerby in this world's number one city, but is about to serve as the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture and become the two leaders of the yamen directly governing the city. This is also true. He needs to be familiar with the city as soon as possible and become the manager.
