Chapter 353: Terrifying
Just when Zhang Qian, who had been on an envoy to the Western Regions for ten years, finally set foot on his way home in the first year of Yuanshuo, he was captured by the Xiongnu again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, in order to avoid the Xiongnu control area, Zhang Qian had already discussed with Gan's father and changed the return route. They planned to pass through the Qiang region of Qinghai so as not to encounter the Huns.
They traveled along the southern part of the Tarim Basin, following the "southern road" at the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains. From Shache, through Khotan, Shanshan, into the Qiang area.
But unexpectedly, the Qiang people have also become vassals of the Xiongnu.
They encountered the patrolling Hun cavalry, and were searched for runes. was immediately sent to the court of the Xiongnu and guarded closely.
And the big man thousands of miles away who was worried by Zhang Qian was sunny.
Li Guang led his troops to rush to the aid of Yuyang in time, Yuyang was defended, and the tragedy of the Huns killing the city after the city was broken in the previous life finally did not happen.
When the news reached Chang'an, Gillian was overjoyed and almost couldn't hold back her tears.
During this period of time, she was always hanging in Yuyang and worried. Even the filthy ones in the Jiaofang Hall gave way to a step, in the final analysis, Gillian had vaguely guessed the truth, and just waited for the knife to fall.
Liu Che was also pleased, and immediately named Li Guang as the right Beiping Taishou. handed over the Xiongnu to Li Guang, who might have been more aggressive, and history returned to the original track after deviating.
This somewhat made Gillian a little helpless and annoyed, she always had a feeling of hitting the cotton hard.
It seems that no matter how hard she tries, history will not change much, and it still runs in the direction that was written.
But Gillian is not ready to accept her fate, she has changed too much.
Her eyes were gentle, and she looked at the children sitting and playing on the couch, full of softness.
Hu'er and Jing'er were half a year old and could sit down and begin to eat some vegetables and fruits with their tender baby teeth.
By the time I was seven months old, I was able to speak clearly.
The first thing the two children said was the "queen mother", followed by the "father".
However, children usually start speaking with phonetic words or single words. There are very few times when you can completely call out "Father Emperor" and "Queen Mother", most of them are called "Queen, Queen-" called Gillian, and when it comes to Liu Che, it is "Fufu", and he almost burst Guantao's stomach several times.
However, there are exceptions.
Jing'er can clearly say "give me", and since she can speak, she rarely cries and starts all kinds of "give me".
When you see a flower you like, "Give me—"
Seeing what jewelry the queen mother was wearing, "Give me—"
Seeing that my father hugged my brother and didn't hug her, "Give me-"
When she saw her favorite custard for lunch, "Give me—"
When she found that the word "give me" was almost invincible, it was these two words that she said the most.
Pingyang didn't come for a long time, and when I came in to talk to Gillian again, I was amused by Jing'er's "give it to me—give it to me—" and turned back and forth.
She said bluntly that this is really born to be the eldest princess, and she will have it when she grows up?
After laughing, Pingyang couldn't help but sigh, "These brothers and sisters are so cute, every time I learn their mouths from my mother, her old man tells me to say something more-"
Speaking of this, suddenly seeing Gillian's indifferent face came to an abrupt end. She laughed and lifted the words.
Gillian doesn't like others to talk about this, last time Xiu Chengjun didn't have a look at it, so he forced Gillian to say that he was stabbed by Gillian and cried with the Queen Mother. said that she was not a real golden branch and jade leaf in the end, and the queen looked down on a sister-in-law like her.
Pingyang estimated that she wanted to take the queen's eye medicine in front of the queen mother, and almost said that you are still here, and the queen will not treat us as human beings.
didn't think about it, the queen mother didn't answer the phone, she just didn't hear it.
The queen mother herself is still like this, but I am afraid that it is also a loss.
If Pingyang has to talk for the queen mother inside, not only will he have to please Gillian, but even the queen mother will not thank her.
She stopped talking and started talking about other inconsequential things.
But after doing this a few times, Binh Duong couldn't stand it anymore. She is different from Xiu Chengjun, she was brought up by the Queen Mother herself, and she has deep feelings.
Pingyang understood that it was useless to talk to Gillian, so he deliberately asked Liu Che to say. As the eldest sister, she rarely begged her younger brother once. "This Yu'er and Jing'er are about to be a year old, and the queen mother has never seen each other. You've always been the most filial to her old man, what's wrong? ”
Liu Che glanced at Pingyang, and after a long time, he said lightly: "No one stopped the queen mother from looking?" ”
Pingyang is extremely angry, and he can't help but have some anger in his words. "The queen mother is the elder—besides—" she looked suspiciously at her younger brother, who hadn't looked like much of a younger brother since he was a child, "what is this hiding from me?" ”
These words finally attracted a cold light in the eyes of the Son of Heaven on the throne, but Pingyang didn't seem to see it, and still said to himself: "No matter how big it is, if you want to be angry with the queen mother, how long can you be stunned?" Won't you be the one who will regret it later, Ah-"
Perhaps it was the warmth in the eldest sister's words that more or less moved the Son of Heaven, and he finally raised his head from the case, his attitude was much more patient, and he no longer perfunctory the eldest sister. But the words that come out are still called people's knots. "As I said, no one doesn't let the queen mother see it, it's she who doesn't go."
Since Pingyang has said that it has said this, he simply said it more openly. "Ah, what the hell is going on? What's the big deal? can estranged the biological mother and child so far-"
There are some secrets that you will never know.
The Son of Heaven thought of the eldest son who died when he was born, and remembered the small actions of Gillian in the Jiaofang Hall after returning to the palace, his heart was like a heavy boulder, and he only felt that there was nowhere to vent his grievances. He waved his hand, and he didn't want to talk to his eldest sister anymore. "Go down, I don't want to talk about that now."
Pingyang glanced at Liu Che again and again, but he had already re-raised his pen and buried his head in the thick twists and turns, and never looked up at her again.
This younger brother has been like this since he was a child, smart and scary, and precocious is also scary. It's her, and she has never been relied on and coquettish by him. The sisters were usually a little afraid of him, and laughed that he was a little like a brother.
Therefore, when Pingyang saw Liu Che's gesture, he didn't dare to persuade more. She had to get up and salute and turned around and retreated, and when she arrived at the door, she couldn't help but stop and look back at Liu Che before striding out with determination.
The conversation between the siblings soon reached the ears of the Queen Mother, and she had no sleep all night. I can't let go of the elders, and I can't think about the pair of grandchildren of the in-laws.
The palace said that the crown prince was very much like His Majesty when he was a child, and he was particularly intelligent and thorough.
After tossing and turning for an unknown number of nights, the old man finally made up his mind.
On a late spring afternoon, she went to the greenhouse hall in person.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Especially in the world, you have to do some superficial work. Gillian is not the Chen Gillian in her previous life who tore her face clearly when she saw who was not pleasing to the eye, she would not give people a handle.
She personally greeted the outside of the hall, and said that the brothers and sisters were still young, and their bodies and bones were not particularly strong, so she never took them over to say hello to the Queen Mother.
How could the Queen Mother blame? took Gillian's hand and said affectionately that it should be, this is also the recent weather has been warmer, but I don't dare to make the child sick, and the imperial doctor doesn't dare to use medicine.
For a time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were filial and happy.
Even the Queen Mother herself didn't say that Gillian was wrong, and others couldn't find fault with Gillian.
The Queen Mother saw the brother and sister for the first time, and was amused by their cleverness. stayed in the greenhouse hall for a whole afternoon before going back, and when Pingyang entered the palace to see her again on the second day, he stubbornly talked to Pingyang about how the prince looked like Ah Yi when he was a child, and how Yuan Xuan was ice and snow smart.
made Pingyang feel happy and surprised, the queen mother really went to the greenhouse hall.
Since the Queen Mother took the first step, the second and third times were much easier. At most, I always go once every other half a month, and if I don't go on weekdays, I often send the delicious food and fun at hand to the greenhouse hall. Thinking that her little granddaughter likes flowers, the Queen Mother also sent a lot of them.
If it weren't for Gillian's dislike, the Queen Mother herself would have no face, and she really wanted to go every day.
If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother had really poisoned Gillian, Gillian couldn't help but soften her heart when she saw her pitiful behavior.
But in the end, the queen mother did such a cruel thing, this queen mother, who was called her aunt since she was a child, and later called her mother-in-law, really wanted to poison Yu'er. When the queen queen came to the greenhouse hall, Gillian was only willing to be perfunctory on her face, but she didn't even bother to say anything.
However, this was enough for Liu Che, and when he lingered with Gillian until late at night, he couldn't help but say a grievance in her ear.
Gillian smiled slightly and didn't ask anything about the grievances. She hugged him tightly, as if she hadn't heard it, and as if she couldn't speak because of it.
When the twilight of spring completely dissipates, Xue Wu enters the palace to talk to Gillian. With Gillian's bold conjecture, she threw down all the previous checks, and checked them from the beginning of the construction of the Yang Palace and the Jiaofang Palace.
In the Han Dynasty, "Weiyang" mostly appeared at the same time as "long live" and "life extension", which contained auspicious meanings. Such as "Changsheng Weiyang", "Changle Weiyang", "Changle Weiyang Longevity and Longevity" and so on.
As an auspicious language, the meaning of "Weiyang" is very simple, that is, there is no disaster, there is no disaster, and it contains the meaning of peace, longevity, and longevity.
Therefore, the importance of Weiyang Palace can be heard from the name alone.
"Xingsheng" is the basic idea of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty and the site selection of Weiyang Palace.
"Historical Records: Suoyin" quoted Wei Zhaoyun: "Form wins" means "terrain is fortified, so it can win people". "Shape victory" means that the mountains and rivers are superior in landform and terrain, which is convenient for military defense.
According to Li Daoyuan's "Water Jing Note, Volume 19, Weishui [II]" for 19 years, there was a black dragon in the Qin Dynasty from Nanshan, drinking Weishui, and the route it passed later became a mountain range, which was more than 60 miles long, with the head facing Weishui and the tail reaching Fanchuan. Xiao He built Weiyang Palace, "beheading the dragon and camping" [10], "the mountain is the foundation, not pretending to build", which reflects the point of "form wins".
Weiyang Palace is the main hall of the Great Dynasty of the Han Empire, built in the seventh year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, supervised by Xiao He, a heavy minister of Liu Bang, built on the basis of Qin Zhangtai, located in the highest southwest corner of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, on the Longshou Plain, because it is in the west of Anmen Street in Chang'an City, it is also called the West Palace.
The total area of Weiyang Palace is six times that of the Forbidden City in Beijing, with pavilions, pavilions, mountains and rivers, and ponds.
The overall layout of Weiyang Palace is rectangular and surrounded by walls on all sides.
Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are located on the east and west sides of Anmen Street in Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, so they are also called the East Palace and the West Palace respectively. In the Han Dynasty, it was still "right", and the direction was respected by "west", and the west palace was the main palace of the royal family, that is, the so-called "public palace". Weiyang Palace is also known as the Purple Palace or Ziwei Palace, ancient Chinese astronomers divided the celestial bodies and stars into three walls, and there are 15 stars of Ziwei in the middle wall, also known as the Purple Palace. The Purple Palace is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Weiyang Palace is called the Purple Palace because it is the palace city of the emperor of the world.
The main hall of the Jiaofang Hall in the Weiyang Palace sits in the north and faces south, and there are double ques in front of the hall. It is very rare to place a que in front of the palace, which is not what ordinary palaces can do, showing the high architectural specifications of Jiaofang Palace.
Therefore, the Jiaofang Hall was built for the queen to live in. It got its name because the walls of the palace were painted with powder made from the flowers of the pepper tree. The palace is pink in color, has an aromatic smell and protects the wooden structure, and has an anti-moth effect.
Another said that it is because of the pepper and many seeds. Take its "many sons" meaning, so it is said: "Jiaofang Palace".
Since the completion of Changle Palace in the seventh year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu moved from the temporary capital of Liyang to Chang'an to live in the Han Palace, and Lu Pheasant as the queen naturally lived in the Jiaofang Palace, and the Jiaofang Palace officially became a symbol of the queen.
Queens have lived here since then, but ironically, none of them have been blessed by the Jiaofang Palace and have many children. There are not a few queens who can't give birth to children, and there are not a few who can give birth in the past, and they live in the Jiaofang Palace in their prime but there is no movement.
In the past, Xue Wu was like a headless fly from the bottom to check little by little, but after listening to Gillian's prompt to take her out of the palace. Even an ominous omen also appeared in her heart, could this be that there was a problem in the Jiaofang Palace from the beginning? can hide so many queens.
After all, no matter who takes precautions, he would never have imagined that the Jiaofang Palace would be passive at the beginning of construction.
So, Xue Wu started to check from the very beginning. The more she investigated, the more uneasy she became, the workers who participated in the construction of Weiyang Palace back then were basically gone, which was normal. But only the descendants of the workers who built the Jiaofang Palace are difficult to find, as if they have never existed in this world, which makes people mutter.
If there is no problem, how can we cut the grass and eradicate the roots?
When Xue Wu started from Xiao He, the founder of the Weiyang Palace, he was even more shocked to find that during the construction process, Xiao He was summoned by Gaozu for half a month.
If you saw it in the past, you would only think that it was an important minister who was deeply relied on by Gaozu. But after discovering that there is a problem with the Jiaofang Temple, is this still normal?
Why did you have to summon Xiao He during the construction process?
Since it is so inseparable from Xiao He, why not hand over this burden to others?
Xue Wu went down the vine and found that Jiaofangdian said that it was a powder developed from the flowers of Sichuan pepper for painting, but he couldn't find the sample at that time.
In other words, no one even knew what kind of whitewash the Jiaofang Hall was made of.
If it weren't for the fact that the movements were too conspicuous, Xue Wu would still have the heart to remove a piece of Jiaofang Hall to see what was in it.
But it's not important anymore, finding out the truth is already about to come out, and I can't suppress it.
Jiaofang Hall is the biggest gift that Gaozu gave to his wife Empress Lu! Regardless of whether Gaozu was trying to suppress Empress Lu or to feel sorry for Mrs. Qi, he turned the Jiaofang Palace into a poisonous palace, and he didn't care about his descendants at all.
