Chapter 58 is like waking up from a dream

Under the attack of Ge Rong's 100,000 rebel army, Yunzhong quickly fell across the whole territory.

By the time He Bayue arrived with reinforcements, it was already too late, and the outcome had already been decided.

had to wait for Yan not to return to the team, and led Da Xiwu, Gao Huan and other generals to defect to Er Zhurong, who was in the prime of his army.

At this point, the two states were merged and all fell.

And Yuan Tianmu, because he is a prince, must return to Beijing to meet the Empress Dowager Hu to restore his life.

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Tianmu's head was big.

Xuanwuling Empress Hu Chonghua, whose real name is Hu Xianzhen, settled the Linjing clan. Strong in martial arts, good at archery, and loves mountaineering. He received a good education at an early age, and when he became an adult, he entered a Buddhist monastery as a nun. She studied Buddhism in Buddhist temples and had a deep understanding of Buddhist scriptures.

In the early years of Emperor Xuanwu's accession to the throne, she was recommended by others to be called into the palace to preach. His beautiful and graceful appearance and pure and clever eloquence deeply moved Emperor Xuanwu, so Emperor Xuanwu made an exception and named her a wife and served with him.

After that, he gradually ascended to the throne of the queen.

In the first year of Xiping (that is, in 516 AD), Emperor Xuanwu died, and Yuan Xu, who was only six years old, succeeded to the throne as Emperor Xiaoming. Hu Chonghua listened to the government as the empress dowager, and actually held the highest political power in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At the beginning of Empress Dowager Hu's visit to the court, she did quite a thing: she came to the court every day to review the courtiers' recitals, personally decided on major cases, and personally assessed local officials. In the early days of the dynasty, he made great achievements.

However, once Empress Dowager Hu had unfettered maximum power, the dark side of her nature to pursue extravagance was soon exposed.

Because of advocating Buddhism, the grottoes are widely excavated, and its scale is huge, which is the first in all dynasties.

Empress Dowager Hu worshipped Buddha and believed that Buddhism could alleviate sins. After the dynasty, her Buddhism is becoming more and more popular, spending a huge amount of money to build a temple, digging grottoes, its building scale is grand, it is the most in the past dynasties.

For example, the cave temples were built in Luoyang Longmen Mountain and Yique Mountain, and the labor before and after reached more than 800,000; She built Yongning Temple next to the palace, one of the floating map towers is 90 zhang high, the pillars on the tower are ten zhang high, and they can still be seen from a hundred miles away from the capital. There are as many as 1,000 monks' rooms in the temple, among which there is one statue of eight golden Buddhas, ten statues of medium gold, and two statues of jade Buddha. There is a golden treasure bottle on the Buddha temple, and there are 30 layers of dew plates under the bottle, and the surrounding area is hung with gold Duo. The windows on all four sides of the tower are adorned with gold nails. The high wind is eternal night, Bao Duo and Ming, the sonorous sound, the sound is heard for more than ten miles.

At that time, the number of temples in the country swelled to more than 30,000, and there were more than 2 million monks and nuns. Luoyang alone, there are 1,367 temples, since the Central Plains of Buddhism, the prosperity of the tower temple, there is no also.

In view of the loss of a large amount of social wealth caused by the worship of Buddha, the ministers Li Chong, Zhang Puhui and others repeatedly reprimanded them, but the Empress Dowager Hu was stubborn as usual.

In addition, Empress Dowager Hu was very fond of drinking, feasting and entertainment, and when she was happy, she often rewarded her cronies with a large amount of property.

Once, she drove Xingsong up the mountain, with hundreds of followers, and in order to have fun, she ordered her subordinates to open the treasury and order the princes, concubines, and princesses to grab them at will, and as a result, a large number of silk silks were scattered into private homes.

Empress Dowager Hu was extravagant, as far as the wind could reach, and the dignitaries competed for luxury and boasted of wealth. Gaoyang Wang Yuanyong had 6,000 male servants and 500 geishas, and a meal cost tens of thousands of dollars. Wang Yuanchen and Yuan Yong were richer than the river, feeding the horses with silver troughs, and feasting guests with agate bowls, crystal cups, and red jade pots produced in the Western Regions. Zhangwu Wang Yuanrong was so angry when he saw that he couldn't get up from bed for 300 days.

In addition, Empress Dowager Hu's personal private life was also absurd and unrestrained. Qinghe Wang Yuanyi was handsome, and the Empress Dowager Hu summoned him to the harem for some reason, not only fornicating with him, but also entrusting him with the power of the court.

She also kept her face privately, fell in love with a man Yang Baihua, and feasted and had fun with him.

Yang Baihua was the son of Yang Dayan, the general of the palace, and was deeply ashamed and frightened under the persecution, so he led his subordinates to surrender to Southern Liang and changed his name to Yang Hua.

Empress Dowager Hu was still attached to it and couldn't help herself, and made her masterpiece "Yang Baihua Song", which said:

In February and March, the willows bloom.

The spring breeze entered the boudoir overnight, and the poplar flowers fluttered down to the south house.

Affectionately went out of the house with weak feet, and picked up Yang Hua's tears.

Autumn goes to spring and double swallows, and I wish to put poplar flowers into the cave

In the end, Empress Dowager Hu's actions aroused dissatisfaction inside and outside the government and the opposition.

The leading army Yuan Yi staged a coup d'état under the pretext of killing Yuan Yi and imprisoning Empress Dowager Hu.

And Empress Dowager Hu waited for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, kill Yuan Cha, and regain power.

At this time, the government of the Northern Wei Dynasty was filthy. Yuanhui, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, sells the official mantle, all of which are priced, 2,000 horses in the large county, 1,000 horses in the second county, 500 horses in the lower county, and the rest of the appointments are also priced. The land plundered by King Yuanxi of Xianyang was all over the country. Empress Dowager Hu ignored the natural disasters that occurred in the country year after year, and forced the tax to be levied for 6 years in advance. Brutal national and class oppression finally led to a massive revolt.

Between 520 and 529 AD, peasant uprisings broke out in the six northern towns and throughout the country, and the armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty to suppress them suffered many crushing defeats, and the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in turmoil.

After Yuan Tianmu brought people back to Beijing, He Bayue put into Er Zhurong's account and became a farewell general.

And Yan Buhui, Yang Ying, Da Xibing and others also entered Liang County as guest generals.

——

The sun shone through the window lattice, shining on Yang Ying's face, and when he woke up, there were only willow leaves guarding the bedside.

"Childe, are you awake?!"

"Hmm......" Yang Ying asked, rubbing her stiff neck. How long did I sleep? ”

"Three whole days?"

"How did I move?" Yang Ying sensed that this was not the camp in the clouds that he was familiar with.

"We've been using a carriage to carry our son."

"What is this place?"

"Liang County Battalion."

Yang Ying felt that he had asked a stupid question: even if Liu Ye told him the name of the place, he didn't actually know where it was.

Looking at the furnishings around me, apart from the bed I slept on, all I could see in the room was a set of cabinets and a screen.

The style is rough and simple, and it shouldn't be a way to get rich and expensive.

"Childe, don't get out of bed, continue to rest for a while, I'll go and inform Sister Bing'er and General Yan."

After saying this, Liu Ye got up, took off the emerald green blouse from the hanger, and turned the screen.

There was a knock on the door, followed by a door, and the footsteps stayed away.

Yang Ying only felt sore and numb all over, and he should have gotten up to exercise a little, but when he touched the pillow, the dagger was gone, so he had to give up. Tiredness hit, and I was bored, so I had to lie down again.

Suddenly, the door was opened, and three footsteps of different severity stepped in.

"Yang Lang! Yang Lang! ”

Before I saw anyone, I heard Sister Bing'er's eager voice first.

Turning the screen, I saw Da Xibing open his arms and pounce as if flying.

Yang Ying couldn't resist for a while, and she was knocked down on the bed by the plump her.

Some unnamed past events seemed to flash in his mind, tormenting every hair of his hair in pain, but when he looked down at Sister Bing'er, he saw that she was crying pear blossoms with rain, and she was really sad, so she kept silent and didn't care anymore.

"Yang Lang, I'm so scared and worried." Da Xibing choked.

"I'm a useless waste that I didn't help with, and I don't deserve Sister Bing'er's concern for me." Yang Ying just smiled wryly, soothing her back with both hands.

"The stealth maneuver has been destroyed, and now I only have you and Willow Leaf left...... Fortunately, Master is back, otherwise I really don't know what to do......" When she said this, Sister Bing'er seemed to be even more sad.

Master? Could it be that your master is ......

Yang Ying was thinking about it, and a flaming red cloak turned out of the screen, causing Yang Ying a headache.

"Boy, your physical fitness is still not good! It's just that after the physical exhaustion, I was hit by a move and flew with eight swords, and then climbed a hill, and then took a knife, and was able to sleep for three days, and now young people, it is really getting more and more lacking in exercise......" Yan didn't open his mouth back is a series of accusations, and he didn't seem to care about Yang Ying and Da Xibing at all.

Willow leaves followed last.

But in front of everyone's eyes, Yang Ying was still a little embarrassed, after all, in her heart, Sister Bing'er was not so affectionate, and it could even be said that she couldn't even fight the eight poles, I don't know if Sister Bing'er was really attracted to herself, or if she was just watching a play for her powerful master.

"Boy, since the little sheep likes you, then I won't say anything. From today on, you're a member of the soap department, and I'll train you well, so stay tuned! It was okay for Yan not to look back at Yang Ying, and he didn't want to stay out of place, so after throwing down a sentence, he planned to leave.

"Spider General, stay!" Yang Ying suddenly thought of someone. "Yin Ruxue, who was taken away by you, where is it now?"

The person Yang Ying really misses in his heart is the girl who has helped him many times, and finally forgot to leave the antlers to him in a state of syncope.

After Da Xibing heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and his body froze.

"Boy, who you like is your freedom, but I'll say something ugly ahead: Soap Ministry, I'm going to condemn you. You have to report in front of me tomorrow! After Yan didn't listen back, he threw down such a sentence and turned his head away.

In the end, Liu Ye quietly handed over the words: "Childe, that girl...... I'm afraid it's not going to be easy...... Yin Ruxue is just a pseudonym, in fact, her real name is Yuan Ruxue, and she is the daughter of Yuan Hao, the king of Beihai...... It was only during the march that we learned about it through the seal she carried......"

！！！

Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, and then gradually recalled that she had asked herself: Is it really so important to pursue memories?

also said that if you give up, you can enjoy the glory and wealth with her.

I see!
