Late at night, people are not quiet.

Liu Xie tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

The Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty was still quite large, but as a place for the emperor to sleep, it was not big.

The bed is actually a bit like a small room, carved into a rectangular space, leaving an area in front of the bed to climb onto the bed.

Liu Xie glanced at the ever-bright lamp that was lit not far from the head of the bed.

During this time, the oil in the Changming lamp was replaced from the original rapeseed oil to fish oil, there was no black smoke, no peculiar smell, and the wick seemed to have been changed, right?

At least now, it's rare to hear the wick popping in the middle of the night.

Liu Xie turned over, looked at the top of the bed, stole through the veil, and could vaguely see a large pattern and some squares. There are eighty-one squares on the left and eighty-one squares on the right, making a total of one hundred and sixty-two......

And that big pattern, in addition to a coiled dragon in the middle of the cloud, there are five cranes and nine bats, and there are also some clouds, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits......

Liu Xie is very familiar with these things, and he doesn't even need to look at them to know where they are.

Even anything in this room, Liu Xie knew it very well.

The right paw of the Jiao carved on the top of the third pillar on the left side of the room doesn't know what the reason is, but it lost a fingertip anyway......

There is a wood carving on the right, most of which is damp, and the lacquer surface already has some small bubbles, which may start to fall off after a while......

In the past, whenever he couldn't sleep at night, Liu Xie would count it over and over again, look at it again and again, until he was exhausted, and he could sleep.

However, some time ago, well, it should have been since Dong Thief was ambushed, Liu Xie basically fell asleep when the time came, and he could sleep until dawn as soon as he slept.

But today, I don't know why, Liu Xie couldn't sleep again......

Liu Xie turned over again in a little depression, this time the movement was a little bigger, and his foot kicked on the bed board on the side, making a muffled sound of "bang".

Perhaps awakened by this voice, a small black head quickly popped up not far away, and then a figure got up from the ground, and took a few steps to Liu Xie's bed, and saw Liu Xie's shining eyes in the dark night at a glance, and couldn't help but subconsciously say: "Can't sleep again, Your Majesty?" ”

Liu Xie said "um", simply sat up with the brocade quilt, and said, "Dong Huan, move your quilt here, let's talk ......."

"Only, Your Majesty." Xiaohuangmen Dong Huan was lightly moved, and after a while, he held a bed of cotton cloth and laid it on the ground at the foot of Liu Xie's bed.

“…… In two days, there will be a big sacrifice......" As soon as Liu Xie thought of this, he felt that his heart was pounding, and it was difficult to calm down.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Dong Huan hugged the quilt, leaned his back against the foot of Liu Xie's bed, rubbed it twice, and replied.

"This isn't the first time I've participated in a festival, but it'...... Hmm......" Liu Xie didn't know how to describe it, and finally hesitated for a moment and said, "...... It's not the same anyway......"

Although what Liu Xie said was a little inexplicable, Dong Huan could understand it.

As a little eunuch who grew up with Liu Xie since he was a child, he is called a playmate if he sounds good, but he is actually Liu Xie's backer. No matter what Liu Xie did wrong, such as running outside on a rainy day, such as playing to catch insects, etc., anyone who violates the rules, the first person to be punished must be Dong Huan.

The court guards who carried out the punishment were very measured, they would not be ruthless, and they would not leave any internal injuries, but they would definitely beat Dong Huan's two strands to the ground, dripping with blood, and shocking......

Call Liu Xie to see it.

But fortunately, Liu Xie is very smart, and some things have basically been reprimanded once after being reprimanded, so Dong Huan has not been punished too many times.

In the dead of night, it is the time for these two to be alone, of course, when Liu Xie is thirteen years old, he will start marrying the queen concubine and so on, and at that time, there will be another person in this small bedroom......

Dong Huan replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, this time is different. ”

Liu Xie said with some excitement: "You know, this time it will be changed to Wen Dance!" ”

Wen Dance and Wu Dance are the main ceremonial music and dance during the royal sacrifice in the Han Dynasty, in fact, the dance team is not two groups of people, but the same team, but the display of "Wen" or "Wu" is displayed by the different dance equipment and movements. The cultural dance is to hold the feather, and the martial dance is to hold the dry relatives.

There is no problem with the choice of Wen Dance and Wu Dance for sacrifice, but at the end of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he fought all year round, first the Xiliangqiang people, and then the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so he has always used the martial dance that represents Wu Yong. Later, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, because of Dong Zhuo's personal hobby, he always used martial arts......

Dong Huan also had some expectations, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it seems that I haven't seen Wenwu for a long time......"

The colorful feathers, compared to the dry relatives, at least in Dong Huan's opinion, no matter from that angle, it is better......

Liu Xie hummed and continued: "...... And when it comes to 'food and music', add 'Zhaode' music and dance...... "Thinking of this, Liu Xie is inevitably a little excited, Zhaode music and dance is done to commemorate Emperor Wen, "Pass the Liang, not far away; In addition to slander, to remove corporal punishment, to reward elders, to accept loneliness, to live in groups", does this mean that I can be like Emperor Taizong, calm the war, and restore the meaning of Hanwei?

Dong Huan replied seriously: "Your Majesty will definitely be like Your Majesty Taizong, who is virtuous and virtuous, and benefits the world." ”

Speaking of Emperor Taizong, Liu Xie also smiled, with a small face, nodded with a serious "um", and then said: "Tomorrow I want to go to Taimiao first...... It's been a long time since I've been to Chang'an, and I haven't been there a few times...... The spirit of the ancestors in the sky, will they think that my descendants are unfilial......"

The Taimiao in Chang'an and the Taimiao in Luoyang, strictly speaking, are not the same system. The Taimiao Temple in Chang'an is based on Liu Bang, while the Taimiao in Luoyang is based on Liu Xiu......

Although Liu Xie's surname is Liu, in a sense, his bloodline is more inclined to Liu Xiu, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, well, is already thin.

However, now the Taimiao in Luoyang has turned into ashes, and only the Taimiao here in Chang'an remains, although the ancestral tablet is added to it, but it ......

How so......

Anyway, Liu Xie still felt a little weird in his heart, so he rarely went.

But now, it's time to talk to your ancestors, right?

The traitors who have brought disaster to the Han Dynasty have been ambushed, and with the help of Wang Situ, they will definitely get better!

Liu Xie clenched his little fist, with a hint of smile, longing, imagining......

After a while, Liu Xie suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, which Fei Zhonglang have you seen, what do you think of this person?" ”

“……”

Liu Xie didn't hear Dong Huan's response for a long time, so he couldn't help but stretch his head out and take a look, only to see that Dong Huan couldn't hold it anymore at first, and fell asleep at the foot of the bed.

Liu Xie pursed his lips, but he didn't wake up Dong Huan, so he moved his body, lay down again, and after a while, he also closed his eyes, his breath gradually became low, and he fell asleep.

In this Weiyang Palace, the master and servant have experienced this situation many times, but this time it may be a little different......

But, who knows?
