Chapter 31 The foundation is not easy to summon Tang Ai when in doubt

Chen Sun left the Inner History Mansion, walked north along the street, and entered the palace.

The name of Miyagi is Shishinomiya.

Linghu clan called the king for a long time, after several generations of construction, now is not the past, has a very royal scale, no longer the early days of the history of the main Long's life, governance are in the history of the thorn of the house, with the king and Gu Yin gradually expanded into five cities, its residence, office has long been separated.

At present, the royal family's dormitory, Lingjuntai (1), is in the old city, and the place where the ascension to the government is located in the Sishi Palace in the middle city (2).

The Four Seasons Palace was built when Linghu Feng's grandfather was facing Lingjuntai across the aisle between the two cities.

In the entire Dingxi country, these two buildings are the most luxurious and magnificent.

Lingjun Terrace was built earlier.

The cause of the construction was an assassination.

Linghu is not a local, the home of Shuozhou is stable, in the early stage of its reign in Longdi, the Tang people in Longzhou, the tribe is strong, the Hu chieftain is very ambitious, or he is proud of the local heroes, unwilling to submit to foreign surnames, or has the intention to follow the invasion of the Central Plains Liuyi, but also vainly tried to build the country, has made several rebellions, caused a greater impact twice.

The first time I was in Linghu.

Linghu Wen is the first ancestor of the Linghu clan in Longdi.

At the end of the Western Tang Dynasty, the world will be chaotic, Shuozhou, Longzhou (3) adjacent, so that Hufeng understands the geography of Longzhou, knows that this place is in the west of the big river, south of Qilian Mountain, north of the desert, the terrain is dangerous, enough to defend the palace, because of the Yin protection according to the west of the river.

Zhengzhi, when he met the "view" of "Tai", he was happy to say: "The overlord is also a trillion." So he asked for the history of Longzhou.

After taking office, he respected the imperial court, occupied the righteousness, and thought that he was calling, because he knew that if he wanted to get the stability of Longdi, he had to rely on the surname of Hexi, so he tried his best to win over the indigenous scholars, and did not hesitate to worship and humble himself, and even succumbed to it, and was rejected by the firewood without regret.

His efforts were rewarded, and the children of the Koji, Song and other surnames of Dunhuang were the first to accept his expulsion and gave him strong support, and then the surnames of Fan, Zhang, Yin, Suo, and Huangfu were also attached one after another.

At the same time, he settled some in-laws and friends in his hometown, either from the court or from the state and county, and hung the seal to bring the clan to vote.

With the help of these two forces, Ling Huwen gained a foothold in Longdi, and successively thwarted the separatist plots of Hu, Pei and other surnames.

Later, Linghu Wen was old and sick, and his son Linghu Lian acted as the government.

There is a strong Cheng Mao in Longzhou, who took advantage of the gap to raise troops, moved and abolished Linghu Wen, and formed a party with the heavy generals in the army of Ling Huwen.

In the end, he was not a native of Longzhou, the foundation of the Linghu clan was still shallow at that time, Linghu Lian was young and his prestige was not enough, and for a while, there were many counties and counties in the territory that responded to Cheng Mao, including some indigenous scholars who were usually known as Linghu Wen's heavy use, and also defected to the enemy.

Linghu heard that he was suffering from wind paralysis, hemiplegia in bed, and could not use soldiers, so he was not only a test of the minister's heart, but also a retreat, so he simply said to the local scholars in the house, "I abandon Guizhou, such as abandoning the ear", wrote the above table to the imperial court, and prepared to resign.

Fortunately, there are still loyal and righteous people, and his long history came in rows, snatched his upper watch, broke it, and said: "The Tang family has many reasons, and the people and gods are devastated, and it is really up to the Ming Duke to take care of Ning Xixia; The Cheng brothers dare to be rebellious, and they should be killed for their crimes, and they cannot achieve their ambitions. ”

This long history is named Song Yuan, that is, Song Hong's great-grandfather.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty had not yet moved to the left, and the award galloped to the imperial court, cutting off the ears and serving the plate, and said, "The history of the Chenzhou is like a loving mother to a child; The love of the people (Linghu) hears that if the dry seedlings are anointed with rain. …… Today, it is a difficult summer, and it is not appropriate to stir up one party" and other words.

"Cutting off the ears and serving the plate", this is the custom of the Hu people, cutting off the ears to show the sincerity of their words. As a celebrity in Longzhou, he made such a move, which was certainly influenced by Hu Feng, but it also showed his sincerity.

With the support of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the determination of the people of Longdi, the people did not want to fight, so Linghu Wen took his son Linghu Lian as the commander, supervised the army to crusade, and defeated the Cheng family. After this chaos, the rule of the Linghu clan in Longzhou was stabilized.

The second time was in Linghulian.

In Longzhou, among the Yi, the strongest is the Xianbei people.

After the large-scale rebellion in the early years of the Western Tang Dynasty, Hexi Xianbei rebelled again.

Linghu sent Sima Koji Miao to attack him. Koji Miao is the grandfather of Koji Shuo, who has been a general for generations, knows the soldiers and is good at fighting, and beheaded his Hu chief in three battles, capturing tens of thousands of people. In the army of Dingxi, most of the Hu cavalry currently owned by them are the descendants of these captives.

Although this battle was won, when Hexi Xianbei was in turmoil, Guo Ji, the powerful man of Longdi, thought that the "Hand Motou, Tu Longzhou" that had been circulated in Longzhou earlier was about him, and he actually took the opportunity to make trouble and colluded with Ling Hulian's left and right relatives to assassinate him in the bedroom.

Linghulian's son is young, and his father Linghuxing pacified the rebellion of Guo Ji, learned a lesson, and built Lingjun Terrace for the safety of the royal family.

The circumference of this platform is more than one and a half miles, and the foundation is more than six zhang high. In addition to the palaces where kings, queens, and concubines lived, there were also many halls for fun. Last year, when Zebian, Linghu promised Cao Fei, and after returning to the royal capital, he took him to see the colorful dragon in the water of Xianyu Pond, and the Xianyu Hall where this pool is located is one of the famous scenic spots in Lingjun Taizhong.

The Four Seasons Palace was built during the time of Linghu Feng's grandfather.

From the rise of Linghu, the throne of Dingxi fell to the line of Linghu Xing, and Linghu Feng's grandfather Linghu Zhi is the son of Linghu Xing.

When Linghu Shi ascended the throne, after several suppressions and killings by his father and ancestors against the local Haoqiang and Hu Yi, Linghu's rule in Longzhou was relatively stable. Linghu Zhi advocated culture and education, rested with the people, the treasury was full, and there was no war on the border at the right time, so Linghu Zhi built a new city on the Gobi Desert in the south of the old city, which was the "middle city".

And built a palace of four seasons in the north of the city.

The name of the Four Seasons Palace is due to the fact that according to the four seasons, there are four chamber halls located on the four sides of the main hall. The background color and utensils of the four chamber halls, including the color of the court clothes worn by the ministers in each hall, are all according to the square color. Therefore, it is named four times.

The main hall and the wing hall all have names.

There is a branch hall on the left and right of each side hall.

The main hall is usually not used. The daily affairs of the court, according to the different seasons and months, take turns in the four chamber halls and their branch halls, such as the first month of spring, in the left branch hall of the Yiyang Qing Palace, and in the autumn September, in the right branch hall of the White Hall of Criminal Administration.

These are all Confucian etiquette.

There is a palace wall outside the Four Seasons Palace, and inside the palace wall, in addition to the Four Seasons Palace, there are two main buildings, one is the Provincial Provincial Government and Temple Department built next to the four chamber halls, and the public houses of these temples are the same as the four chamber halls, and they are also according to the square color; One is the hall and pavilion built by the king of Dingxi near the five halls since the grandfather of Linghu Feng, and there are several places such as the new hall and the Xuande hall that are more commonly used in it.

The new hall is a place for small banquets for ministers, and Xuande Hall is mostly used to receive ministers.

Chen Sun entered the palace, and the eunuch led him to Xuande Hall to wait for a while, and rushed to Binyaoguan to report to Linghu Feng.

Binyaoguan is a pavilion built by Linghu. The meaning of the guest is also the guest who comes from afar.

Since the end of the Western Tang Dynasty, Longdi has either resisted foreign invasion or fought rebellions, and the war has not stopped, and the connection with the Western Regions has been severed; When Linghu consulted, the territory was stable, so he sent troops to wade through quicksand in the west, conquered Qiuzi, Shanshan and other countries, and conquered them. King Shanshan contributed a woman, called a beauty, and the heart of the consultation was happy, that is, to build a guest to live in it. Since then, Binyaoguan has become a place where the royal family of Dingxi raised the beauties of the Western Regions.

Whenever the government is not in charge, Linghu and the successor Linghu Feng's father and brother often come here to enjoy.

Linghu Feng is the same as Fu Qiao, but also has the disease of widowhood, although he doesn't care about the appearance of women, but aesthetic things, people share their feelings, ox lips, bean eyes see too much, it is inevitable that it is a little unbearable, very much need to wash the eyes, yes, this "ancestral story" of course has to be inherited and carried forward, and it can only be "Yang", not "abandoned", almost every day, he will come here to have a happy life.

got a report from the eunuch, saying that Chen Sun was back, and Linghu Feng put on a big coat and tied it casually, so he opened his chest and bare his belly, kicked the clogs, and came to enter the Xuande Hall.

Although Xuande Hall is a small hall, it is also magnificent, decorated with gold and jade, and it is extremely precious.

Linghu Feng sat down, asked Chen Sun to sit too, and asked, "Who went?" ”

Chen Sun did not sit down, stood respectfully, and replied, "Lieutenant Koji, Yan Zhizhong, and Xiao Song Changshi." ”

"Didn't Lao Zhang and Lao Sun go?"

Zhang is Zhang Hun, and Sun is Sun Yan.

Sun Yan and Chen Sun's ancestors and Ling Huwen are friends in the township, and their families are also from Anding County, Shuozhou.

Sun Yan is now engaged in the pastoral service.

Chen Sun replied, "No." Zhang Danong sent a servant to observe. ”

Linghu Feng snorted, and said in his heart: "Lao Sun is cautious, he never makes friends with courtiers, it's not easy to get involved, so it's okay if he doesn't go." Zhang Hun, this old guy, was so breathless. It's been two days since Zhang Jin and his son arrived, and I called the judge to beat him hard, and I heard that both of them were beaten to the point of not being human, and this old guy didn't even have a book in the end. The Senate did not go again. Hmph, do you think you can stay out of it this way? ”

Don't drive and govern the middle, one outside the main and one inside, and the two heads of the pastoral house.

Don't drive the so-called Wanli Gangji, "Ren is half of the history of assassination", and its status is slightly higher than that of Zhizhong.

Sun Yan has been in this position for several years, and has never interacted with nobles and celebrities.

It was not surprising that he had no interest in getting involved in such a matter.

But that Zhang Hun was made to seize the opportunity to cut his clan momentum. is deaf to the torture of Zhang Jin's father and son, and Zhang Hun did not attend the meeting convened by Song Hong, but since Ling Hufeng has read it so far, he naturally refuses to let it go, and will not spare him because of this.

Ling Hufeng asked, "How did Song Hong and the others discuss?" Can you conclude anything? ”

Chen Sun's memory is very outstanding, and he never forgets it, and relayed the original words of Song Hong and others at the meeting to Ling Hufeng word for word.

Ling Hu Feng listened attentively, looked up at the top of the hall, his fingers unconsciously tapped the table, and after thinking for a long time, he said in his heart: "In the order I gave to Song Hong, I said clearly, 'I don't want to punish the crime, but the people are not convinced'; The two of them have teamed up to protect the Zhang family, but I can't use it strongly. "Order," summoned Tang Ai. ”

The eunuch under the hall promised and hurriedly went out of the hall to find Tang Ai.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Hufeng saw Chen Sun turning his head uneasily, as if he didn't dare to look at himself, he suddenly became suspicious, and said in his heart: "Is this guy hiding anything from me?" ”

Just as he was about to ask why, a gust of wind blew in from outside the hall.

He felt a slight coldness in his lower body, and looked down, it turned out that he was not wearing a skirt, only a shin shirt, and the belt was loosened at some point, revealing the contents of his crotch.

Figured out why Chen Sun behaved like this, he covered his lower body with his clothes, laughed, and said: "Old Chen, I have this thing, and you have it, what are you doing?" What's embarrassing to watch? I don't believe it, do you do the same when you are happy in the boudoir? Sucking and picking, material is indispensable. Why pretend at this time! ”

Chen Sun laughed twice and responded, "Yes." "The heart said, "The king ordered Tang Ai to be summoned, because he saw that Song and Yan Ergong favored the Zhang family and refused to give up, because he was summoned to ask for a plan?" ”

He thought again, "In the first time, the white horse was defeated, and the captives, although the king did not complete the punishment, but most of them were not reappointed; This Tang Ai alone, but how could he be promoted to a squire first, and then soon after, he moved to the right Sima of the Governor's Mansion. I really don't know how he got the king's mind right! ”

Why did Tang Ai have Ling Hufeng's mind? The reason is very simple, the suggestion to suppress the powerful clan is what he proposed to Linghu Feng.

Therefore, when facing Song Hong and Yan Kuan's joint efforts to protect Zhang, the first thing that Ling Hufeng thought of was Tang Ai.
