Chapter 589: Taimiao Jade Rank Elite Collection
Jiankang, Taimiao.
This towering city, more than 40 miles in radius, was built in the last years of the Three Kingdoms, at that time it was just a town called Moling, the Yangtze River turned a bend from here, from south to north, and then turned to the east, went straight to the sea, to the east more than 200 miles of Jingkou Town, opposite to the Guazhou ferry on the opposite side, became the only place for visitors from the north to cross the river, and to the south through Danyang, Jinling and other places, straight into the land of Sanwu, Zhongshan in the north of the city, the shogunate mountain provides a natural defense for this city, since ancient times, there are tigers standing on the dragon plate, the king is abundant, It can be said that the control of the city, almost the control of the entire Jiangzuo land, is to fight for the ancient soldiers, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime after crossing the river, on this to build the capital, after nearly a hundred years of operation, today's Jiankang City, the population of hundreds of thousands, a radius of more than 40 miles, is the world's number of super cities.
Spring is in full bloom, it is already March, the willow branches begin to sprout, the birds chirp happily, the warm morning sun has risen to mid-air, it is the time, in the words of later generations, this is the sun at eight or nine o'clock, swaying its own light and heat, illuminating the streets and alleys of the city.
The Taimiao outside the palace city, at this time is already a sea of people, or rather, the entire Jiankang City, here is a sea of people, hundreds of thousands of people from all directions, has started from the Zhongshan Gate in the north, has been lined up to the Taimiao in the south of the city, both sides of the street, crowded with people, and 30,000 Beijing Su Guard soldiers, on duty on both sides of the avenue, from the Zhongshan Gate to the Taimiao this section of about six or seven miles of thoroughfare, will become the main passage of today's military parade and prisoners, the road has already been cleaned spotlessly, sprinkled with water early in the morning, All the people of the Great Jin Dynasty who were blocked behind the soldiers on duty stretched their necks and even climbed up to the treetops, just to get a better glimpse of the legendary Beifu strong army that defeated millions of Hulu.
On the high platform of the temple, the Great Jin Dynasty from the Xiaowu Emperor Sima Yao below, the court officials above the five grades and the thorn history above the four grades, have gathered here, in this era, there is not as strict as the later Sui and Tang dynasties, the distinction between the high and low grades, is still in the period of transition from the rank of the Han Dynasty to the rank of the nine rank of the later generations, but the officials above the five grades, the state and county officials depending on whether to bring soldiers and the four or five grades are different, has become a routine, in today's special day, the monarchs and ministers are all dressed in formal attire, Standing on the high steps of the Taimiao, smiling, looking at the direction of Zhongshan Gate in the distance.
A middle-sized young man with a dark complexion, slightly curly hair, and thick lips, who did not look much like a person from Middle Earth, twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a yellow robe, was the current Son of Heaven Sima Yao, and the mother of Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, was Li Lingrong, a Kunhua slave who had been a palace slave, because of a coincidence, when the first emperor Sima Yu was over fifty years old, he was fortunate to give birth to this pair of princes, which can be regarded as solving the problem of no successor to the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Since Sima Yao ascended the throne, although he has hardly really been in charge of the government, but the luck is so good that it is heavenly, not only the country is still stable, but the Jingzhou Huan clan, which has always had the intention of usurping the throne, is no longer making trouble, and even the Qin State Heroes who have been rampant in the world for decades and destroyed countless countries have also been defeated by the Jin army in Huishui, and there have been discussions among the people for a while, saying that this half-black emperor is a lucky star from the sky, to bless the Han people of the Great Jin Dynasty, recover the lost land, dominate the world, and end this troubled world.
And by Sima Yao's side, Sima Daozi, the king of the official residence record Shangshu, the official residence record Shangshu Wang Xiezi, the imperial de facto prime minister Xie An, who is also a servant of the two high-level civil and military positions of General Wei, as the right servant of Shangshu, Wang Guobao of the Ministry of Shangshu, and many other high-ranking children of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are also two people who are eye-catching, one is the Jingzhou Huan clan who led the troops into Beijing this time and participated in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, the former powerful minister Huan Wen's son Huan Wen, and the other is a branch of the Langyu Wang clan and the grandson of Wang Dao, the founding prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xun, who is famous for his literary talent, (this person's name also has a king next to the word, but the typing can't be typed, and the copy will be garbled, I don't know what the reason is, I can only say sorry to readers and friends, and I will call it Wang Xun in the future, but everyone remembers that this person's name has more than one king word next to the history books. )
This Wang Xun, and his younger brother Wang Min, is a great calligrapher, once the general of the right army of the sage Wang Xizhi's cousin, but their branch, but the relationship with the Xie family is very complicated, originally Xie An married his brother Anxi General Xie Yi's daughter, but also Xie Daoyun's third sister Xie Daoyun to Wang Xun, but also married his daughter to Wang Min, a family of parents, for a time Xie Wang The relationship between the two families is very close, and the world knows it.
But then Wang Xun's brothers offended Xie An for some reason, so that Xie An forcibly asked his two daughters and nieces to divorce the Wang brothers, which caused a sensation in the upper class of the Jin Dynasty of the year. Wang Xun, a disciple of a high family who seems to hate Xie An the most (except for Wang Guobao), appeared on this occasion and stood with Huan Xuan, which was personally mysterious and intriguing.
Sima Yao seemed to be in high spirits today, and he smiled and said to Xie An, who was standing beside him: "Taibao (Xie An awarded the title of the highest minister of Taibao after the Battle of Weishui, although it is a false position, but it is still a respected status, no one can compare), this time our army's victory in Weishui is thanks to you and Xie Zhenjun's proper command and elite soldiers, and today, in front of my Sima clan's ancestors and ancestors, I can also raise my eyebrows." ”
Xie An's expression was calm, and he saluted: "Your Majesty's reputation is overrated, mainly because of Your Majesty's heavenly might, plus the soldiers who used their lives to kill the enemy bravely, so that this victory was achieved." It's just that this victory is nothing compared to our feat of recovering the Central Plains in the future. ”
Sima Yao was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What, Taibao has the intention of the Northern Expedition to enter the Central Plains?" ”
Xie An smiled and shook his head: "If there is chaos in the north, we have a chance to take advantage of it, then this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be missed." Of course, now the Qin State is only a small chaos, and it has not yet reached the point of being out of control, and the loss of our war is not small, so we need to wait and see for a while before making a decision. Also, how to implement the reward for this victory, and how to settle the more than 100,000 prisoners of the Qin army, we still have to ask the Holy Lord to show you. ”
