The sun sets in the west, and half of Father-in-the-Sun's face hangs in the western sky, shining with warm golden light, as if he wants to dye the entire earth golden. appeal At this time, a group of people also arrived outside the gate of Luoyang City.
The leader was a young man in white.
Behind him were two soldiers in armor and a man in red.
The last ones were all in uniform, all in red. clothes; there were more than twenty people in the group.
This group of people was Liu Qi and others who rushed to Luoyang from the vicinity of Songshan Mountain.
After a day, they arrived here when the city gate was about to be closed with half a stick of incense left.
The existence of Luoyang City as an imperial capital is not comparable to that of some cities in remote areas.
Even if there is still half a stick of incense left to close the city gates, there are still a lot of people entering and exiting the city gates.
There is also an exclusive passage for the government.
You can see some big men sitting in sedans and having people carry the sedans through the government passage.
There is no need to queue up for inspection or anything.
Liu Qi led everyone to the gate of Luoyang City, got off his horse, took off the sword from his waist and hung it on the horse, and did not go to the official passage.
Firstly, he did not hold an official position, and neither did the others; secondly, although he had the identity of Liu Biao's eldest son, he came to Luoyang in his own name this time; thirdly, he was not the original Liu Qi, nor Liu Qi.
He is not a playboy disciple; just these three points, there is no reason to go through the official channels.
He led the horse and led everyone behind the people entering the city, and lined up peacefully, waiting to enter the city.
Huang Zhong and others knew Liu Qi's identity.
Although they were a little puzzled as to why Liu Qi did not enter the city through the official channel, they did not ask.
They nodded secretly.
They also hung their weapons on the horses, turned over and dismounted, and led the The war horses lined up behind Liu Qi.
Liu Qi led the war horse and slowly approached the city gate with the pace of the people slowly entering the city, while observing Luoyang City.
Luoyang City, a world-famous ancient capital, was the capital of thirteen dynasties including Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, Sui, Wu Zhou, late Tang, Later Liang, Later Tang, and Later Jin.
Luoyang City of the Eastern Han Dynasty was located at the former site of the Imperial City of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, 15 kilometers east of the later Luoyang City, east of the White Horse Temple, with Mang Mountain to the north and Luoshui River to the south.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Luoyang was the capital and a palace was built here.
After the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital was built here.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang City was nine miles and seventy steps long from north to south and six miles and ten steps wide from east to west.
It was commonly known as "Nine-Liu City".
It was rectangular in plan and had 12 gates.
The overall layout of the city is on the longitudinal axis, with two palaces in the north and south operating according to the old palace of the Western Han Dynasty.
The two palaces are one mile apart and connected by three complex roads.
The South Palace is about 1,300 meters long from north to south and 1,000 meters wide from east to west; the North Palace is about 1,500 meters long from north to south and 1,200 meters wide from east to west.
Later, the east and west palaces were successively built.
The main palace is in the South Palace, which is smaller than the palace in Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty.
The main official offices are located near the Nangong Palace, and sacrificial buildings such as the Taimiao Temple are located in the south of the city.
There are 24 streets in the city, which are roughly in the shape of a square grid and divided into more than 100 li.
Street trees such as chestnut, catalpa, and tung trees are planted on both sides of the street.
Today, the banner of the Han Dynasty is fluttering on the city wall of Luoyang City.
The soldiers hold spears in their hands and stand straight on the city wall, looking at the situation in the distance, and from time to time observing the situation below the city gate.
The golden light shining on the stained city wall also shows the hardships Luoyang City has gone through.
It has gone through countless winds and rains.
It also proves the strength of Luoyang City.
There should be examples of every dynasty built in Luoyang.
When the city is busy, it will repair the walls of Luoyang City.
Otherwise, after so many changes, Luoyang City would have been destroyed long ago.
However, the next incident really destroyed the city of Luoyang.
The entire city of Luoyang was destroyed and turned into a ruin.

Afterwards, it was slowly rebuilt by Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty.
It was not until the Northern Wei Dynasty that Luoyang City was rebuilt and restored to its former glory, leaving behind a title of "ancient capital of nine dynasties" for future generations.
It was a state of emperors and the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
It is a world-famous ancient capital.
"What a pity."
Liu Qi shook his head and sighed, not knowing what he was talking about.
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Dian Wei, and Xiao Wu all looked at Liu Qi in confusion.
They didn't know why it was such a pity.
What was such a pity?
Liu Qi did not explain.
After all, these things are not easy to explain at all.
If he said at this time that this emperor would be burned down by fire in a short time, he would definitely be considered a fool.
Fortunately, it was now Liu Qi's turn to undergo inspection and enter the city.
"This young man" A captain of the city guard came up, his tone was not as aggressive as when facing the civilians.
As a city gate guard for so long, he still has some discernment.
The clothes worn by Liu Qi and his group are not something ordinary people can afford, especially those worn by Liu Qi.
They are obviously people of high status.
Who knows if these people have anything to do with the imperial court?
They are not just a small city gate like him.
The guard captain can afford to offend.
"My Excellency, Liu Qi, came from afar and wanted to enter Luoyang City to do something.
They are my bodyguards.
They don't have any contraband.
You can check it, but the box is the gift money I used to propose marriage."
Liu Qibin He said politely.
While talking, he also approached the captain and secretly stuffed something into the guard captain's hand.
Except for the sharp eyes of Huang Zhong behind him, he did not attract other attention.
The captain of the guard weighed the things in his hands, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
He had to be good at it if he was given such a favor.
He smiled and said: "It turns out that Mr.
Liu is here to propose marriage.
In this case, there is nothing to check.
"Yes, but Mr.
Liu still needs to restrain your subordinates.
After all, this is the imperial capital.
Although you can bring weapons into the city, you cannot use them casually, otherwise something will happen."
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me.
Sir, you should also know that there are many bandits along the way, so it is normal to bring some guards.
I came to Luoyang this time just to do business, and I will never cause trouble," Liu Qi said.
"Okay, let's go in, otherwise the city gate will be closed soon."
The captain of the gatekeeper waved his hand and let Liu Qi and others enter the city.
Liu Qi nodded, then took the war horse and led everyone into the city gate passage and walked into Luoyang City.
After all, in the city, there are no special circumstances where horses cannot gallop.
After walking through the city gate passage, everyone saw the prosperity of the imperial capital.
There were crowds of people and shouts everywhere.

It was much more prosperous than Jingzhou City.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Huang Zhong asked.
"Of course I'm going to find an inn to stay and get some food.
After a day's journey, everyone is already tired."
Liu Qi paused and continued: "And this time I'm here to propose marriage, so it needs to be more formal.
Writing a greeting note and having someone send it to you, and only then visiting your home, will not make others think that we are disrespectful."
"What the lord said is true":
