102. Spring snow in Qinyuan

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow casts a layer of red makeup on the white earth, which is a gift for all things after enduring the cold. At this time, the wind was gusting, and the temperature began to plummet, Zhu Youxiao was worried that these crazy girls would catch the cold, so he took them to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to rest.

Every time this kind of snow day, Zhu Youxiao will gather his family together to eat hot pot, and when everyone changes their clothes, it is time to eat. Most girls are born with no resistance to food, losing weight is just a psychological suggestion, how can you grow meat if you are not greedy?

Zhu Youxiao saw that his wife and children were all smiling, and his mood was also very comfortable, and while putting meat and vegetables in it, he teased flatteringly:

"How many ladies are having fun today?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said nothing, Xiong looked arrogant, Huang Mengxuan was a little shy, Shiji was not fluent in Chinese, only Tamina did not have to be taboo and replied:

"The beaten people all looked happy, and the concubines naturally felt happy."

Tamina was married to her son, and Zhu Youxiao felt that she owed her something, and did not use palace etiquette to bind her after entering the palace. When everyone saw that there was a bird, they also opened the conversation box one after another, and the atmosphere became lively around the sizzling hot pot.

Seeing that the family lived in harmony, Zhu Youxiao continued:

"I heard from the people of Qin Tianjian that there has been snow in North China this month, and the heavens have such a good intention, will we not be disappointed when we only watch it in these four directions? It just so happens that there are not many governments in the past few days, and I want to take you to Shanhaiguan to play, climb the majestic Great Wall, and overlook this snow-covered ice and snow world in the distance. ”

Zhang Yan wanted to pick up vegetables for her husband, but after listening to it, she put a few more pieces of meat in Zhu Youxiao's jade plate, and said happily:

"The concubine heard that the mountain customs is an important gateway of my Ming Dynasty, known as the title of the world's first Xiongguan, the terrain is majestic, the building is majestic, and the concubine has long wanted to see it. It's just that the son will be seven years old after the New Year, and the concubines still have a lot of things to arrange, so why don't you let a few younger sisters accompany the Long Live Lord? ”

Zhu Youxiao thought to himself that no one could miss you, but she said that it was indeed the truth, Zhu Cihong was the eldest son of the emperor, and according to the ancestral system, he would be allowed to study in the pavilion. As the queen and biological mother, Zhang Yan naturally knew how important this was for Zhu Cihong's political future, so she took the initiative to give up this opportunity. It's just that the time I can spend with them is limited, and I really don't want to miss it.

Xiong Kouyue saw that there was a trace of loss on the faces of the two of them, and her eyes trembled slightly, and she suddenly thought about it, and said:

"It is a big deal for the prince to leave the cabinet, and the queen has been busy with him, but even when he is tired, he still feels that he has not done enough, and the whole person is haggard these days. Adults are like this, presumably the prince will also have pressure, why not send him to Cining Palace for the time being, our godmother must like it very much, first, the queen and the prince can relax for a few days, and secondly, you can also use this to investigate whether Xiao Dinghou is suitable to be a companion. ”

As mentioned earlier, this godmother was originally an old woman in the suburbs, and her three sons were killed in the war against foreigners, and the younger son died of illness in the famine. Zhu Youxiao felt reverence and guilt, so he decreed that she should be named Mrs. Decree, and received Cining Palace to live for a long time. After Zhang Yan became pregnant, she has always been this old woman taking care of food and daily life, and the relationship between master and servant is very intimate.

Li Dingguo is the son of Li Xingbang, and his ancestors can be traced back to Li Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty, who lived in Yulin. At the beginning, Nurhachi was in turmoil in Liaodong, and Shenyang and Liaoyang were in danger, Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to seek talents and invite heroes from all over the world, and Li Xingbang was recommended to the new army because of his outstanding military achievements. Seeing her husband go to the front line, his wife, who was pregnant with Liujia, worried about her stomach every day, and died soon after giving birth to Li Dingguo. Later, Huang Taiji invaded Yizhou with the Russian musketeers, Rong Shiyan and Li Xingbang led the people of the city to resist desperately, and Li Xingbang fought hard and died in the country.

Zhu Youxiao wept when he heard this, and posthumously named Li Xingbang as the marquis, and Li Dingguo, who was still in infancy, attacked the knight, and took him to Cining Palace to be raised by Mrs. Hui.

When Zhang Yan heard Kuo Yue's persuasion, she relaxed a little, and felt that the pressure on Zhu Cihong was too great, and she acquiesced to her proposal. Zhu Youxiao saw that Zhang Yan let go of the burden in his heart, and ordered the celebrant to prepare for the parade.

In feudal society, the emperor is the son of heaven, and their words and deeds are national policies and represent the highest instructions. In order to ensure the safety of this patrol, Cao Wenzhao and Huang Degong each led 10,000 Yongwei battalions to be responsible for guarding along the way, Qi Xingguo led Jinyi guards to disguise themselves as local people, and Yu Dingbian commanded Yulin to patrol around the line. When everything was arranged, the harem sightseeing group sailed to Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan, known as Yuguan in ancient times, was built in the Sui Dynasty for three years, and Tang Taizong went out of the customs from here when he conquered Goguryeo. In the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, led the troops here, found that the ancient Chongqing Pass was not the main road to control the throat, and built the pass in the place of 60 miles in the east, because the north leaned on the Yanshan Mountain, and the south was connected with the Bohai Sea, so it was named Shanhaiguan. Because its city is connected to the Great Wall, with the city as the pass, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and it is known as the reputation of "the first pass in the world".

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi invaded Liaodong, and Sun Chengzong personally sat in Shanhaiguan to command the battle. The main body is an arrow tower, and the subsequent construction of Jingbian Tower, Linlu Tower, Muying Building, Weiyuan Hall, Wengcheng, and Dongluo City are all auxiliary, on the one hand, in order to expand the defense system of Shanhaiguan, on the other hand, in order to improve the conditions of garrison.

With the recovery of Liaodong and Mongolia, the imperial court adjusted the traditional passive defense strategy to take the initiative, built Ulaanbaatar City and Ziqing City on the basis of the Guanjin defense line, renamed Shangjing of the Jin State as Harbin as the provincial capital of Heilongjiang Province, and renamed Terin as Sanjiangkou as the provincial capital of Mohe Province. At the same time, the Huairou strategy was adopted to form an ethnic alliance, which not only further divided the Mongols, but also severely limited their space for maneuver. At present, there are only a small number of barbarians in the north, and the defensive function of Shanhaiguan has been weakened, except for a division headquarters stationed, it has become a post station and trading place for past merchants, and Luocheng in the east is a prosperous trading town, and the shadow of war has long been wiped out here.

Revisiting Zhu Youxiao and everyone felt a lot of emotion, thinking about the emergency in Liaodong back then, he and Qi Changguo went to Shanhaiguan at night, inspected the border defense, and inspected the army out of the customs, how tragic it was. At that time, the people of the government and the opposition were panicked, and they were not sure of victory, so they planned to use Xiong Tingbi's tripartite arrangement, with Shanhaiguan as the center, and use the Guanning Jin defense line to drag the horseshoe of the Eight Banners. Looking at the vast world Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, which was a response to the past.

Several harem ladies climbed the majestic pass for the first time, and were also shocked by this magnificent scenery, the emperor's cry resonated with the soldiers, and the high-pitched voice echoed in the ears, the original man's world is so heroic.

Looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of a poem that he had done, and his heart was surging for a while, and he recited it aloud:

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, and it is very enchanting.

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present.

This poem lists five promising kings in Chinese history, all of whom have been kings for hundreds of years, but they feel that they are not perfect enough, and they are the real romantic figures, and they want to compete with the heavens. Zhu Youxiao admired in his heart, and every sentence was loud, and the emperor's spirit and heroism made the civil and military ministers present cast their eyes one after another, and the mountain shouted long live. At this time, the sun rises in the east, the world is the same color, and the land of China is full of vitality.
