    Chapter 275: Entering Beijing

    The autumn wind is coming from the west, bringing a slight chill. Some trees are withering in the wind, and their leaves have turned yellow early. When blown by a slightly stronger wind, their branches immediately fall off and fall down.  ""

    The weather is desolate, and so are the hearts of the people.

    What he saw, heard, and touched along the way made Chen Jianchen's mood fall to the bottom.  The general situation of the country and the people's destiny have been ruined to a far greater degree than expected. It is no exaggeration to say that it is riddled with holes.

    The reason is that in addition to the emperor's series of harsh policies, there are also natural disasters that are adding fuel to the flames.  Floods, droughts, earthquakes, locusts, and many other natural disasters occurred throughout the dynasty, which really made things worse.

    As someone who has experienced this, Chen Jianchen can easily think that in many ancient books, there are all kinds of precursors to the destruction of the dynasty, nothing more than this.

    So, what about the Tiantong Dynasty?

    Ying Ning is accustomed to the art of looking at the breath, "Qi Watching Technique", but he is not good at it. He can only wait and see in a small area to distinguish the breath, but he cannot predict the evolution of the country's fortune.  Otherwise, you can display it and take a look at it, so as to achieve the effect of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck.

    However, many things can be seen even without Taoist exploration.

    Emperor Zhengming¡¯s new policy was harsh at first, but was implemented vigorously and resolutely without giving the people any breathing space. It was a high-pressure policy, and it would be strange if nothing happened if it was suppressed like this.

    Coupled with the well-timed natural disasters, the people are in dire straits and complaining. Many people are holding back their resentment and hatred.  ""

    People and common people are the simplest, but no matter how simple they are, if they can't survive, they will dare to rise up even in the face of the king of heaven.

    In fact, there are signs of riots in all major state capitals, and thieves and bandits are everywhere. However, many incidents have been suppressed by local officials on the spot and have not been reported to heaven.

    Speaking of which, does the aloof Emperor Zhengming, sitting in the Golden Palace, know about the turmoil in the outside world and the storm in the city?

    Chen Jianchen expressed doubts.

    Although the emperor is the emperor, he rules the world and gets everything he wants, but he does not leave the Forbidden City. Even if there are other channels for information, he does not know much.

    That is, the road is stuffed, and the people do not listen to it. They have always been the characteristics of the dynasty.

    There is little basis for the theory that treacherous ministers are in charge. There are many treacherous ministers among the ministers, but their power is far from reaching the point where they can cover the sky with one hand. Judging from the information and materials from all parties, only Emperor Zhengming has the final say, not  The puppet emperor who was manipulated and ignored.

    ¡°Well, since I¡¯m in Beijing now, if I have the chance, I¡¯d better take a closer look!

    Chen Jianchen quickly gained a sense of proportion.  The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

    The court is unruly, the situation is turbulent, and signs of chaos have emerged. This chaos is really serious.  When the royal law loses its restraints, when morality and politeness fail completely, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of order, killing, riots, looting, and even cannibalism, any situation will happen.

    As the saying goes, "It's better to be a peace dog than to stray from others."  In troubled times, people are like duckweeds in the water, unable to control their own destiny.

    The general trend is like a tide, and Chen Jianchen does not think that his current situation is strong enough to keep himself and his family healthy in troubled times.

    We must find another wedge!

    This is another important reason why Chen Jianchen went to Beijing to study at the Imperial College.

    ¡­¡­

    The wind is a bit strong, sweeping away a lot of yellow dust, flying all over the sky, and you will be blinded by it if you are not careful.

    Ying Ning was carrying a blood sandalwood bookcase and stood next to Chen Jianchen. The wind and dust could not invade him. They sank a few feet away, making him unable to get close.

    Such a scenery is quite strange, but most people have no way of noticing it, and they all keep their heads down and rush on their way.

    In the distance, a majestic and tall city rises from the ground and stretches like a majestic mountain in front of it.  Vaguely visible, there are countless flags flying above.

    The capital, that is the core of the dynasty, the capital.

    A city, the destiny of a country, is majestic and has stood for thousands of years. It has already become a holy place that countless people worship and yearn for¡ª¡ª

    In ancient times, traffic was so congested that it took several days to travel from one county to another, not to mention the distance between state capitals. It would take ten and a half days to travel based on horse power alone, which was very far.  The journey is tiring and easy to get infected and sick, which adds to the difficulty.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the country  Of course, sages also teach: "As long as your parents are here, don't travel far away." That is??You must stay at home to take care of the elderly and fulfill your filial piety, rather than going out and taking risks at will.

    Traveling far away is an adventure.

    Therefore, for many places, people can only think about them, but cannot visit them in person. They can only use their dreams as horses to live their lives.

    ? Among them, the capital is definitely the coveted holy place, especially among the scholar-bureaucrats, it has become a sacred symbol.  As a student, who doesn¡¯t want to go to Beijing to take the exam one day?  As an official, who doesn¡¯t want to get bigger and bigger, all the way to the capital?  As for the rich, the prosperity of the capital city is unmatched by other continental capitals.

    Chen Jianchen understands these, but he is not included.  It can be said that in his mind, from the perspective of geographical location, the capital is just a city, at most larger and taller. There is a Forbidden City that symbolizes the pinnacle of power, and there lives an emperor and his three children.  Thousands of concubines.

    that is it.

    Chen Jianchen is more concerned about whether Ying Ning can follow him to Beijing.

    The capital city is an important place in the world, with a forest of soldiers and guards, tight security, and strong yang energy. Normal ghosts and monsters cannot sneak in. If they are washed away by the aura, their true colors will soon be revealed.

    Because, Chen Jianchen was a little worried.

    When he was only more than half a mile away from the capital, Chen Jianchen suddenly stopped, while Yingning quietly performed the "Qi Watching Technique", stopped and looked into the distance, and looked for a while, with a happy face:

    "Sir, the blood energy in the city is indeed strong, but it is not organized and seems to be loose. I can go in."

    Chen Jianchen was overjoyed: "Is it true? That's great."

    He has long been accustomed to Ying Ning's company. It would be very uncomfortable if he was forced to be separated at this time.

    Yingning nodded and said, "It seems that the capital is not as impregnable as the rumors say."

    Chen Jianchen's heart moved, and he immediately figured out that now that the country's fortunes were declining, the capital could no longer maintain its peak state, and naturally some flaws were exposed.  Although Yingning has a demon body, his golden elixir is condensed and his soul is stable, so he can come and go freely in many places.  Then he said happily: "Okay, let's go to the city!"

    Taking long strides, he took Yingning with him and followed other pedestrians towards the gate of the capital.

    At sunset, a red sun is setting little by little toward the west mountain. You must hurry up when entering the city. If it is later, I am afraid that the city gate will be closed
