Chapter 5: The Temple Controversy

Under the Longshou Mountain, Chang'an Daxing City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the royal city of the Sui Dynasty today, was built in the second year of the opening of the emperor, composed of the outer Guo city, the palace city and the imperial city, the east and west are symmetrical, the layout is neat, breaking from the Qin and Han dynasties to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, among the capitals, there is no discipline, the palace, the official office, the dwellings, staggered together, the very messy layout, unified planning, orderly.

Within the scope of Waiguo City, the whole city is divided into one hundred and nine squares and two cities, east and west, with 25 criss-crossing streets, and this kind of planning makes the plane of the whole city like a chessboard.

Daxing Palace is the residence of the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty and the place of the court, there is a huge palace courtyard surrounded by corridors all around, there are official offices built on the east and west sides, the front is the Daxing Palace, that is the place of the upper court, the main hall of the back bed is the China Palace, there are Wanchun Palace, Qianqiu Palace, Ganlu Palace, Shenlong Palace, Anren Hall and other halls around it.

The garden is located at the back of the palace, with pavilions, ponds, artificial lakes, flowers, bamboos, forests, and pleasant scenery.

Emperor Wen of Sui had some worries after discussing with the ministers today, and came to the Shenlong Hall to continue to review the chapters, because he was strict and thrifty, dressed simply, did not wear a luxurious and formal crown robe, wore a wingless black gauze hat on his head, and wore a purple round-necked robe, and looked at the recital.

Although he is close to sixty years old, his whole popularity is like an abyss, and he carries the luck of the country and the country, and his gestures reveal a kind of grandeur in charge of the artifact of the society, and he is not angry and arrogant.

This twist in his hand is a battle report from the front line, and at present, the Turkic iron cavalry and the Sui Dynasty army are fighting on the frontier.

The Turks are the border troubles of the Sui Dynasty, which has a long history, is a branch of the Xiongnu, once attached to Rouran, for its iron slave, Ashina, and later rectified the Tiele tribe, developed and expanded, defeated Rouran, dominated the grassland, and constantly invaded the south, even the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was the policy of peace and proximity and tribute, to obtain the support of the Turks, and to avoid attack.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks were strong, there were many khans standing side by side in the steppe, each with a strong army and iron cavalry, it was difficult to defeat at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, and adopted the strategy of building the Great Wall and garrisoning the troops. After several battles, the Sui army finally subdued the Eastern Turks, repelled the Western Turks, and minimized the Turkic threat.

In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen and Changsun Sheng used a plan again, and originally Dulan Khan asked the Sui Dynasty to marry him, but the Sui Dynasty married Princess Anyi to the Tuli Khan, which intensified the contradiction between the Dulan Khan and the Tuli Khan in the west and east, resulting in a war against each other.

The Turkic people in the east led by the Turkic Khan have lived in Datong City, protected by the Sui Dynasty, so Dulan Khan failed to attack, went back to prepare for two years, increased the number of troops, and secretly captured a lot of Han craftsmen to make siege equipment, in February this year, again waved the army south, invaded the border of Dasui, and attacked Datong City.

Emperor Wen of Sui appointed Yang Liang, the king of Han, as the marshal, and shot Gao Gong out of Shuozhou with the left servant of Shangshu, Yang Su out of Lingzhou with the right servant of Shangshu, and Yanrong from Youzhou on Shangzhu, and attacked the Turks in three ways.

In fact, this military twist and turn is not his biggest headache, what worries him is that in the struggle between the factions of the DPRK and China, the court and the court attack each other with lip guns and swords, and the court and the court form friends to expose and slander each other, especially the two major factions of the crown prince Yang Yong and the king of Jin Yang Guang, the fight is in deep straits, to the point of life and death.

And judging from some evidence that Yang Su sent people to search, Yang Yong actually saw that Emperor Wen wanted to abolish the crown prince, planned to seize power in advance, and was secretly strengthening the armed forces of the East Palace, recruiting many ranger swordsmen, in an attempt to disadvantage His Majesty, which made Emperor Wen of Sui, who was extremely suspicious, very annoyed, so angry that his body trembled!

"Rebel!" Yang Jian snapped and slapped the table case heavily, and the whole person was furious.

As the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the most taboo thing is to be killed by his heirs in his later years to seize power, even if it is his own son, he must not be tolerated or indulged.

Yang Jian plans to abolish the position of Prince Yang Yong and set up another Yang Guang's idea, which has been going on for several years, so in the past two years, he has cut off some auxiliary ministers around Yang Yong, but the biggest obstacle is Gao Gong, he is not a person, he represents a group of forces, the gate valve of the Long Group, and there are also famous families in various states and counties, without conclusive evidence and sufficient excuses, it is impossible to directly dismiss Gao Ying, a major minister.

………

Luo Zhaoyun has been silent for the past few days, sometimes crazy and banging his head, sometimes dancing, which has made the people of Luofu accustomed to it, Luo Yi was very disappointed in him, and after coming twice, he never came to see him again.

The eldest lady Meng Ru often sent maids and family members to his yard to watch, and reported regularly, and she was even more convinced that after Luo Zhaoyun drowned, the whole person was a little abnormal.

"This little cub, the cheaper the person, the harder his life, he drowns to death, and he can still come back to life, but fortunately, he has gone crazy." The eldest lady Meng sat on the couch, with maids waiting for her, although it was still a little cold outside, the room was as warm as spring.

There is a large incense burner of bronze beasts in the room, there is a smokeless charcoal fire in it that emits bursts of warm currents, Meng Ru is thirty-four or five years old, plump, wearing a green onion white embroidered silver silk thread pattern small sleeve short undergarment, below is a moon blue silk skirt, the skirt waist is raised, the shoulder is draped with silk, graceful and generous, the hair is combed in a double bun, and a jasper hairpin is inserted on the top.

If you take a closer look at the room, you can see that the room is elegantly furnished, with dressers, stools, incense burners, standing mirrors, curtains, couches, and embroidered pillows and brocade quilts for mandarin ducks playing in the water, which are very luxurious, much more gorgeous than the room where Luo Zhaoyun lives.

In addition to a close to the body and mind in the house, there is also a man and a woman, the man is twenty-five or six years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and extraordinary, tall, named Qu Chao, is Luo Yishou's five righteous sons, ranked first by age, good at arching and riding horses, and has some skills.

Another girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing an emerald narrow-sleeved spring shirt, blue trousers, well-cut, a pair of deerskin boots, moist skin, hibiscus tender face, good looks, this is Meng's biological daughter, Luo Zhiwei.

"Mother, since Ah Lang has lost his mind and is insane, don't deal with him anymore." After all, Luo Zhiwei is younger, she is still a girl, and her heart is not as vicious as Meng's.

"Hmph, who knows when he will be fine again, it's not like he wants to take away everything from our mother and daughter." Meng Shi's face was unhappy, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

"Big lady, why don't I sneak over one day and suffocate her to death?" Qu Chao's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

Meng Shi hesitated, shook his head and said: "If there are frequent accidents, lest the Xiang Guild suspect the concubine, it will not be good, don't forget, there is also a little slut of the Cao family who is staring at our actions, and he has been caught and involved in the events of these years, and we can't eat and walk away." ”

"How's that good?"

The corners of Meng's mouth overflowed with a smile: "Don't worry, since that little cub is already crazy, it won't be dangerous to us for the time being, Wei'er has grown up, in two years, when she is sixteen or seventeen years old, you can get married, when the time comes, I will promote your marriage, let you get rich, you will fight again, give birth to a baby boy, and pass it on to the Luo family, when the time comes, the titles and property of the Luo family for several generations will be inherited by your children, and this Luo Mansion will always be our mother and daughter, and no one can snatch it." ”
