Chapter 176: The Upper Chapter

The Han Dynasty sent the princess again, and she was still the princess of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the monarch and minister, and he was naturally very happy.

However, the military minister Shan Yu was happy, of course, there were also people who were unhappy, this time to attack the border of the Han Dynasty, but failed to break through Beidi County, Yi Pheasant's heart was naturally indignant.

Although the military minister Shan Yu had already ordered the withdrawal of the army, he was still stationed in a place only a hundred miles away from Beidi County and did not want to leave.

Even on the day when the princess of the Han Dynasty arrived at the royal court, Yi Pheasant was still stationed here.

Seeing that the king was like this, the head of Yi Pheasant's subordinates naturally wanted to dissuade him.

"Great king, today is the day when Da Shan marries the Yan family, and the rest of the kings of my big-breasted slave have all come to the royal court to meet Da Danyu, I can't wait, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid that the big order will not be happy."

Hearing this, Yi Pheasant was silent at first, and after picking up the wine on the table in front of him and drinking it, he threw the wine glass in his hand in front of him.

"If the rest of the kings are gone, will this king also go?"

Yi Yan was furious, so frightened that he even knelt down and said: "My king forgives sins, my king forgives sins!" ”。

However, at this moment, he saw a soldier hurrying into the account and said, "My king, the messenger of Dadan Yu has arrived."

Hearing this, Yi Pheasant had no choice but to get up and go out, no matter how displeased Yi Pheasant was, but he still had to endure it at this time.

When he saw the easant, the messenger dismounted, stepped forward and saluted: "King Youxian, Da Dan orders you to lead your army to the royal court before sunset today."

When he had finished speaking, he mounted his horse and rode away.

Shan Yu's order, how dare Yi Pheasant disobey it, and even said to several subordinates: "Pass the order, immediately open and rush to the royal court!" ”。

"Do my king's bidding!" After speaking, these few people immediately went to give orders.

In such a hurry, it was dusk, and before sunset, Yi Pheasant finally arrived at the royal court.

As soon as he entered the king's tent, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty will meet Da Shan Yu."

"King Youxian is finally here, today is the day when Ben Shan marries the Yan family, how can Ben Dan Yu's brother not be here!".

"Xie Da Shan Yu".

That night, all the kings of the Huns gathered in the king's tent to drink, and the rest of the kings were all excited and laughing, and only Yi Pheasant sat alone in the corner and drank wine.

In such a situation, it is natural that the monarch and ministers are all in the eyes.

Since then, the Han and Hungarians have once again returned to the same as in the previous years, and they do not interfere with each other.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, naturally knows that the peace in exchange for peace will not last long, but what the Han family lacks today is time, the Han family needs time to continue to accumulate strength, it needs time to raise horses in the Han family's horse farm for military supplies, and it also needs time to train the cavalry of the Han family.

At this time, under the persuasion of Zhou Yafu and Han Yudang, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict and began to abolish the chariots used in the Han army step by step!

Since the Shang Zhou Dynasty has risen, the chariot that has been used for more than 1,000 years has been eliminated, and the chariot has shined in the previous Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because of the Spring and Autumn Period, wars are frequent, so the strength of the country is often calculated by the number of vehicles.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the ritual system, the six armies of the Son of Heaven, each army was 1,000 times, a total of 6,000 times; the three armed forces of the great powers; the two armies of China; A small country with an army.

This is also the origin of Confucius's "Analects of the Advanced" that "the country of a thousand times is taken between the big countries, plus the division and brigade, and because of the famine", the origin of the country of a thousand times.

But at this time, the Han family no longer needed these chariots that were only suitable for fighting on the plains.

Instead, they were more mobile and more suitable for cavalry running through complex and undulating terrain.

Those who have a heart can see that the Son of Heaven's approach is a signal, and such a change is not only the reform of the Han military system, but also the Han family's decades of harassment and unbearable attack on the Xiongnu.

Maybe it won't take a few years for the Han family to abandon this immutable strategy of dealing with the Huns only on defense!

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of February, the long winter days had finally passed, and it was the spring of the recovery of all things.

Seeing that his father was in excellent spirits at this time, and it was not a problem to shoot with a bow and arrows, Liu Rong relieved himself, and his father's physical condition at this time was completely better.

On this day, in the Qilin Palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, finished reading the words early, and then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, did not know that he was interested, and wanted to visit a garden in Weiyang Palace.

But seeing that the peach blossoms in this garden have already grown buds, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said: "But a few days to the Shangsi Festival, last year I was unable to go out of the palace due to events, this Shangsi Festival, I want to go to the bank of Weishui."

Wang Yandang saluted and said: "It is naturally good for Your Majesty to go in person, but I don't know who will accompany Your Majesty on this trip?" ”。

After thinking for a while, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "Pass the edict, the queen, the prince and princess in the palace and their mothers will all go, and the ministers of the three princes and nine kings will also accompany them, and then send someone to inform the eldest princess to let her go with him."

"No!".

Shangsi Festival is a festival in the pre-Qin period, the first day of the third lunar month is "Shangsi", on this day people have to go to the side of the flowing water to worship.

Because March is the time when the seasons change, the cold air has not yet receded and the yang energy has been "stupidly shaken", people are prone to diseases, so they should go to the water's edge to wash and see the sun.

Purification is a ritual to eliminate disease-causing factors through self-cleansing, and to pray for good fortune.

"Zhou Lichun Guan" said: "The witch is purified when she is in charge. Meaning: Witches perform annual purification rituals to remove calamities for people.

However, the custom of the Han Dynasty about the Shangsi Festival was also to wash it next to the flowing water, but the people of the royal family did not sacrifice it with witches, but the Son of Heaven personally held a wicker dip in the water of the Wei River and sprinkled it on his forehead to dispel the obscure qi.

The order of the Son of Heaven naturally reached the entourage in a short time.

However, it was only one day before the Shangsi Festival, and the concubines and their heirs in the palace naturally got up early, especially those concubines, who had already gotten up at the end of the day, busy grooming and dressing, drawing eyebrows and eyes.

After that, they all went to wait for His Majesty and the Queen outside the Weiyang Palace, but Li Ji was still in the Golden House, so naturally he couldn't go there, and the only people who went this time were Liu Rong, Liu De and Liu Yan, the three brothers, who did not go with their mother.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, had already summoned him to ask all the ministers of the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors to go, and he also entered the palace early in the morning and waited here.

However, after a long time, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and Queen Bo came together, but this time Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and Queen Bo did not wear any gorgeous clothes when they left the palace, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, only wore a black gown with black stripes, and the clothes worn by Queen Bo were even more ordinary, but clothes made of rough silk.

Among the concubines of the Son of Heaven present, Wang Wan had already intentionally worn a dress made of ordinary silk cloth, and the rest were dressed in brocade.

Everyone present saluted and said: "The concubine (son-in-law) greets Your Majesty and the Queen."

The Son of Heaven Liu Qi glanced at the people present, and saw these concubines dressed up one by one, the Son of Heaven Liu Qi also frowned, although he was not as frugal as his father Emperor Wen, but he never liked extravagant things, but he didn't want this extravagance to spread in the palace.

But Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, didn't say anything, just kept the concubines dressed like this in his heart one by one, and then glanced meaningfully at Wang Huan, who was standing on the side and wearing coarse cloth clothes.

I saw Liu Qiyan, the Son of Heaven, saying: "No courtesy, today is a trip, not a court meeting or a palace banquet, so you don't have to do so many courtesies, so let's go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" , the people present said another line of courtesy.

Then Liu Qi, the son of heaven, got into the car with the queen first, and then the rest of the concubines, princes, courtiers and others also got in the car, but after a while, the convoy went out of the palace gate and drove to the outside of Chang'an City.

Last time, Liu Rong and Chen Ajiao drove to the bank of Weishui to see the sacrifice of the big man, but Liu Rong ordered the emperor to go quickly several times, and he arrived on the bank of Weishui in less than an hour.

However, this time it is the Son of Heaven who travels, and of course the emperor wants to make the car drive smoothly.

Solidly, almost two hours later, the car arrived at the side of Weishui, and the Son of Heaven came to the bank of Weishui, and naturally ordered the soldiers to guard the martial law here.

Although this place is only thirty miles away from Chang'an, Zhou Yafu still ordered someone to investigate it on the bank of Weishui after knowing the news of the Son of Heaven's trip.

Just the day before the Son of Heaven left, after playing to the Son of Heaven, he mobilized more than 1,000 soldiers of the Southern Army to impose such martial law.

When Liu Qi got out of the car and saw that there was already a green grass next to Weishui, he said: "On the day of the festival this year, there is such a good weather."

However, Queen Bo said: "This is all because God knows that His Majesty is going to travel today, so it will be like this."

In this way, everyone present said in unison: "What the queen said is very true, and this is all because of the blessing of Your Majesty",

Hearing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, laughed.

Because the blessing of willow branches could not be done until the afternoon, Liu Qidang, the son of heaven, even if he ordered, set up a banquet next to Weishui and drink with his entourage.

However, Liu Rongzhi's seat was close to Cao Qi, the Marquis of Pingyang, and when he saw that there was a young man on Cao Qi's side, he asked, "Is this the family of the Marquis of Pingyang?" ”。

Hearing this, Cao Qi said: "Back to Your Highness, this is the dog, Your Majesty has a word, you can bring your family to come with it, and the minister will bring it."

"Your Majesty Cao Shi has seen His Highness."

"No need to be polite".

This Cao Shisheng can be regarded as a beautiful man, and after Liu Rong looked at it, he pondered what he thought about that day.

However, just drinking, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, also felt that it was too monotonous, and after thinking for a while, he ordered someone to take an arrow target.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said with a smile: "Zhongqing is here to drink with me, it is very boring, but this is the early spring, when all things are recovering, and it is the day of Shangsi, it is not appropriate to shoot livestock at will."

With this in mind, I decided to place this target a hundred paces away, and if anyone can hit this target with an arrow, I will give him this jade pendant."

After speaking, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, untied the jade pendant on his waist and let everyone look at it.
