Chapter 175
After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is in the northwest of today's Xi'an City, and the so-called Weiyang District is where the center of Chang'an is located. Tang Cheng Hehe,
Li Jia'an, more than ten miles of Gaocheng, has a population of nearly one million. The so-called domain of Yugong Yongzhou, the field of astronomical wells and ghosts. The Li family divided the vicinity of Chang'an into three mansions, the middle of which was Jingzhao Mansion, which was a metaphor for the auspicious omen of Kyoto and a thousand years of streamers; The left is Feng Yifu, two heavenly horses Zhenyu, fluttering immortals; The right is the Fufeng Mansion, as if the heavenly court is imminent, and the breeze can be relied on. Only these three place names can give a glimpse of what the ambition of Emperor Li is. These three places are full of fertile water in Qinchuan for 800 miles, and the wealth of the world is no better. Of course, the real majesty is nothing more than the royal palace: Weiyang Palace is magnificent, Jianzhang Palace is thousands of households, Ganquan Palace is like a fairyland, and Shanglin Garden is vast
However, that is not a hundred civilians
Where the surname can go. The place frequented by ordinary people is also the largest selling place in Chang'an City: Dongshi.
Chang'an East City is becoming more and more lively and prosperous. In addition to the traders who sell treasures and strange goods on weekdays, many outsiders suddenly came, some of them were in tatters, some were in tattered clothes; Some are shabby, and some are magnificent
Although these people have different appearances and different accents, their mood is the same anxious, and they have only one purpose: that is, to let the emperor, who was eager to seek talent as soon as he ascended the throne, summon him as soon as possible. The emperor has just turned 16 years old this year, which is the age that can be easily convinced.
The news of the emperor's appointment of newcomers came out of the Yang Palace in three days and flew all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an. The people of the capital are also really rare for outsiders: they puff up their unfed bellies, and boast all day long about the so-called palace secrets and the affairs of the prime minister; A bunch of old people sitting on the street, as long as they open their mouths, they can give you the story of Qin Emperor Li Zu for most of the day; A vendor with vegetables on his face, as long as you talk to him, you can be sure that the emperor has recently used Zhang San or Li Si, and even his origin will be clearly explained to you; As long as you get in his car and give a few baht, he will not only quickly send you to the place where you should go, but also give you just the right amount of court tidbits according to the distance. The biggest beneficiary is, of course, those who should go to Chang'an in response to the edict of all kinds of capable people, they come to the capital in less than three days, even if there is no old introduction, they can know the situation in the DPRK and China.
What people pay the most attention to is, of course, the most important positions around the emperor. The first news came out that the emperor appointed Dou Ying, the Marquis of Wei Qi, who was the hero of the rebellion against Wu and Chu in the Seven Kingdoms, as the prime minister. This is nothing unusual, Dou Ying was originally an all-rounder who wrote a long chapter by Wen Nengxin, and Wu Neng commanded thousands of armies and thousands of generals, not to mention that his aunt is the grandmother of the current emperor! The next appointment made people start to be a little surprised: Langguan Tian Hao, who originally ran errands for Dou Ying, was suddenly appointed as a lieutenant, and his status was second only to Dou Ying! But after a day or two, everyone was relieved: it turned out that this Tian Hao was the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and his surname was Tian because he and the Queen Mother were not the same father. Now that the mother is more precious than the son, and the son is the emperor, the queen mother wants to arrange her half-brother to be a big official, so what is there to say?
The next appointments were all the more surprising. The old ministers who were originally around the Empress Dowager, such as Xuchang, Zhuang Qingzhai and others, failed to hold important positions such as Imperial Doctor and Lang Zhongling, as people legend has said. The emperor gave these two important seats to Zhao Juan and Wang Zang, who were less than thirty years old and had no reputation! Zhao Juan is a white-faced scholar, he once put forward suggestions such as cleaning up the Ming Hall when he was Emperor Jing, and let him be the imperial historian, barely reluctantly meeting the public's expectations; And that Wang Zang, it is said that he is an unknown junior from Qi Guolai, just because he has many ideas and can export chapters, he has been loved by the emperor, he is less than thirty years old, but he is in charge of the emperor's edicts, and the court's documents are Lubu. People can't help but sweat! But looking back, the emperor is only sixteen years old, what do you want so many old ministers to do? Dou Ying is in his early fifties, Tian Han is in his forties, plus two Yushi and Lang Zhongling, who are in their twenties, isn't it also appropriate?
There was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, but talented people from all walks of life were overjoyed. The emperor is appointing newcomers, and he is eclectic! The next question is, how to get the emperor to summon him as soon as possible! While asking others to find a way, they watched their surroundings vigilantly to see who was better than them. I heard that the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu of Guangchuan came, and his eldest disciple Gongsun Hong also came, and there was another person, whose name was very strange, and his surname was dim, and the emperor asked him to go when he heard his name; Yan An, who came from Wu Yue, couldn't understand what he spoke, so he could only express his meaning by writing, and the emperor also sent someone to take away his letter; What's even more exciting is that the emperor admired the resignation of the family and sent someone to pick him up in a car, and because he was afraid that he would be too old to toss, he specially asked people to wrap a pu mat on the outside of the wheel - this is the "Anche Pulun". People admire the emperor's thirst for talent even more, don't look at his young age, maybe he is the number one promising king of the Li family!
There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and the sky over Chang'an is no exception. The little emperor tossed so much that his blind grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dou, had already itched her nose. Xuchang Zhuang Qingzhai and other old ministers, of course, wanted to take the opportunity to get her some chili noodles to make a "nose pass", so a sneeze came out, and Chang'an suddenly had a small earthquake. The bus that was specially responsible for receiving the talented people in other places was Ling Han, and he was called by the Empress Dowager to count the drops, and when he came back, he had a horse's face like a donkey's face. He withdrew half of the bus from the bus, but he made two jars of Du Kang, where he drank wildly. The next day, another news came out of Chang'an City, the Empress Dowager set up a "shadow cabinet" in the palace, of course, the Empress Dowager was the center, with "rule by inaction" as the program, according to the established policy of Emperor Wenjing, to measure the various behaviors of the current emperor. The Empress Dowager's will is that if the little emperor dares to change the rules of the ancestors, she will not be polite! There is even a legend that the Empress Dowager also sent a cronie to the King of Huainan to greet him, and Liu Anke, the King of Huainan, was the latest blood and bone left by Li Gaozu!
Chang'an suddenly returned to its former calm. The people in the East Market have faded, there are fewer Confucians who swagger through the city, there are fewer people in front of the bus office, and the only thing that has increased is the talk of Chang'an citizens. A businessman who claimed to have a connection with Ouchi said that the emperor had a lot of restraint on the surface, but in fact he did not stop his actions, and his Ouchi guard Gongsun Ao and others were still observing around Chang'an City, paying attention to visits, and looking for those wise men and strangers with special skills.
At noon on this day, the scorching sun drove away the people who sold melons, fruits and vegetables in the east market, and even the people who led the oxen and drove the donkeys hid under the trees and under the city gate.
At this moment, I saw two old cows each pulling a big cart slowly, from the old cow's breath felt that the car was very heavy, but the car did not know what it contained, no one could see it, only to see that the roof of the car was made of wheat straw, like a small house. Those wheat straws have turned white after being exposed to the wind and sun, and it is clear that they have walked a long way and time to arrive in Chang'an. Looking at the person driving the car, people's eyes can't help but light up: he is thin and tall, but he is vigorous;
