Chapter 66: Deyang Palace, Cao Cao!
After Huangfu Song, Jiang Xiaobai and his entourage arrived in Luoyang City, Emperor Ling of Han did not summon them immediately, but arranged them to a mansion.
The location of this mansion is excellent, and it can be seen that it has been carefully chosen.
"Brother, there are a lot of rooms here, all of them are empty and no one lives in them, it's a waste."
"Brother, look, there are fish in this pool, it's so beautiful."
"Wow, brother, come and see, there's a monster here......"
After entering the mansion, Jiang Xiaohua looked like a curious baby, looking at everything strangely, Jiang Xiaobai didn't care about it, but when he heard the word monster, his heart tightened.
Looking at Jiang Xiaohua's line of sight, when Jiang Xiaobai saw the appearance of the monster clearly, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Haha, its name is Parrot, it's not a monster." Next to him, Huangfu Song stroked his beard and laughed.
Huangfu Song, who is fifty or six years old, has no daughters under his knees, and his son Huangfu has been married for many years, but he has never had a son and a half daughter, so he loves Jiang Xiaohua very much and treats this girl as his own granddaughter.
"This is a spirit bird from the Western Regions, this parrot in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty is a reward from the Son of Heaven to me, if Xiaohua likes it, take it to play."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaohua looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked for his opinion.
"Don't thank you yet, Grandpa."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Jiang Xiaohua kindly grabbed Huang Fu Song's arm, seeing this, Huang Fu Song became more and more happy, the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together, he handed Jiang Xiaohua the bird cage containing the parrot, but he parroted at this time.
"Thank you, grandpa, thank you, grandpa......"
"Thank you, grandpa, thank you, grandpa......"
Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were amazed when they heard the birds talking.
The next day, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and others arrived in Luoyang.
Compared with the bustle of Huangfu Song's entry into Luoyang City, Zhu Jun is much more low-key, not because he is low-key, but because Emperor Han Ling deliberately snubbed him.
In the process of crusading against the Yellow Turban and rebelling against the party, Zhu Jun was repeatedly beaten by the people, defeated by the Changshe, and was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army.
Later, Huangfu Song went north to Jizhou, and Zhu Jun continued to conquer the Yellow Turban in the Nanyang area, but Zhu Jun and Jingzhou Assassin Shi Xu Xuan, Qin Jie and others combined 18,000 troops to attack the main force of the Yellow Turban, and the two sides were deadlocked for more than three months, and the Han army always broke through.
Since then, the Luoyang court has had a lot of complaints about Zhu Jun, Emperor Han Ling disliked him very much, and even had the idea of changing generals in battle, or Sikong Zhang Wenshang dissuaded him, and took Bai Qi and Le Yi as examples, so that Zhu Jun was spared.
Otherwise, Zhu Jun will inevitably end up being deposed.
Although Zhu Jun finally fulfilled his mission and successfully annihilated the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not change his influence, so on the night he arrived in Luoyang, he directly held a celebration banquet.
Zhu Jun ran around for days, and after arriving in Luoyang, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he had to change his clothes and rush to the banquet.
Imperial Palace, Deyang Palace.
This hall is three zhang high, the hall can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, there is pond water around the hall, among them the fish swim, sometimes splash the water, the jade step Zhu Liang on the hall, the altar is made of grain stone, the wall is decorated with colorful paintings, and the golden pillar is carved with beautiful figures.
The Deyang Hall is tall and majestic, according to rumors, at a distance of thirty or forty miles away from Luoyang, you can also see the outline of the Deyang Palace, which is connected with the sky.
When night falls, the palace is brightly lit up inside and outside.
Accompanied by the sound of ceremonial music, Jiang Xiaobai followed Huangfu Song into the palace, and walked along the long passage to Deyang Palace.
These courtiers were very enthusiastic, and Huangfu Song naturally responded with a smile.
Looking at these people smiling and greeting, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes flashed slightly, he didn't know if Huang Fu Song saw it, but he noticed that these courtiers seemed to be enthusiastic, but they were actually very distant from Huang Fu Song.
Often after saying hello with a smile, he found an excuse to leave in a hurry, for fear of getting close to Huangfu Song.
"I don't know what happened outside Luoyang City, did Emperor Han Ling hear some rumors......"
Jiang Xiaobai was worried that if Emperor Han Ling knew about this, it would be unfavorable to Huangfu Song, especially the eunuchs around Emperor Han Ling, and there were many eunuchs present among the officials who greeted him outside Luoyang City that day.
These eunuchs who have no little brother and no fun in some way, they think about doing things all day long, lest the world will not be chaotic and they will not be idle at all.
If you don't say what is far away, you can say what is near.
Dong Zhonglang framed the eunuch Lu Zhi and is still in prison, which is a lesson from the past.
Soon, Jiang Xiaobai and his entourage came to Deyang Palace.
In the hall, a group of beautiful-looking palace maids, dressed in translucent clothes, shuttled through it with wine syrup and food plates, very busy.
By this time, quite a few courtiers had arrived.
Seeing Huangfu Song enter the palace, everyone stood up to greet each other, and said polite greetings in their mouths, such as congratulations.
After taking a seat, Jiang Xiaobai, who did not have any identity, was stained with the light of Huangfu Song, he sat next to Huangfu Song, and no one dared to ask.
However, a palace maid came to pour him wine, and when he saw Jiang Xiaobai's handsome appearance, he couldn't help but blush with his pretty face, and secretly looked at him from time to time.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive.
Jiang Xiaobai is still a young child, inexperienced, Huangfu Song patiently introduced everyone in the hall for him, it is very interesting that Jiang Xiaobai found that these people in the hall are faintly divided into two factions.
On the side where Huangfu Song sat down, there were people from the family, such as Yuan Shao, Fu Xie, Cui Yan, etc., and on the opposite side sat He Jin, Dou and other relatives.
The confrontation of interests in the Eastern Han Dynasty can be seen a lot from this banquet.
However, although these people don't like each other very well, these people's attitude towards Huangfu Song is the same, and they are very enthusiastic, because everyone has heard about it.
Because Huangfu Song annihilated the leader of the Yellow Turban rebel party in Jizhou, after Emperor Ling of Han heard this good news, he rose up on the spot and immediately went to the Hehuan Hall to fight with a group of concubines for a few days and nights, which made Long Yan happy.
After many years of immersion in Gentle Township, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty has long been useless.
Now, Liu Hong has regained his strength, and Huangfu Song has made great contributions.
Therefore, not only these relatives and families in the palace were polite to Huangfu Song, but even Liu Hong's wet nurses, such as Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, did not want to offend Huangfu Song at this time.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't know all this.
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes were locked on the position at the end of the banquet, and the person sitting in that position was unknown now, but he would be very famous in the future.
He is...... Widow Reaper, Cao Cao!
was arranged at the end, Cao Cao was not unhappy, in fact, he was able to participate in this banquet because of the back door opened by his father Cao Song.
At this moment, Cao Cao poured himself a drink, his face was intoxicated, and he was also happy.
When Jiang Xiaobai looked at him, Cao Cao noticed it, and also raised his eyes to look at him from afar, and the two eyes collided together like lightning in the Deyang Palace.
