Chapter 206: The Imperial Court
Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.
The strong outer city wall, the gate tower, corner tower, and arrow tower of the magic pen, under the guard of the five schools of the Northern Army with rich battlefield experience, defend the capital.
Inside the outer wall, the inner wall does not fall behind, the gatehouse, the corner tower, the arrow tower, the same lot, and the row is more close, there is a big blue out of the blue and better than the blue trend.
On the city wall, the city gate tower, the soldiers standing on the guard are no longer the five colonels of the Northern Army, but the entire Han Dynasty, the highest status, the closest to the Son of Heaven, the left and right Yulin Army.
From the inner wall to the main hall of the upper court, it was full of Yulin troops wearing red "color" robes, armor, and spears and bows.
Different from the area between the outer wall and the inner wall, where the officials and the people of Luoyang City lived, the inner wall is the symbol of the power of the Han Dynasty and the power of heaven - the imperial palace.
The Yulin army stood guard without squinting, guarding the palace and guarding the emperor and the harem in the palace.
The splendid tiles, the big mouth on the eaves of the corner of the temple, the kissing beast that devours the eaves, the temple pillars that carve dragons and phoenixes, and the long and wide stairs.
At both ends of the stairs are long soldiers in hand, dressed in iron armor and wearing red tasseled helmets, the highest status in the Yulin Army, guarding the palace of the Son of Heaven.
The same tall and mighty, a bright armor of a water, a unified sharp halberd, with the stone statue of the dragon on the platform, the two heads of divine power and four "shots", and the spirit of the king.
Let the entire hall be filled with the majesty of the Han Dynasty.
If you don't look at the high-spirited Yulin Army, who should be mighty and majestic, the eunuch who pretends to be in front of him and wears a black veil.
The harem drove the donkey cart, and the concubines galloped around and laughed.
Wearing various "colors" of Hanfu, but wearing open crotch pants, the words of the palace maids running back and forth, everything is so desirable.
Perhaps, this will make the people of the world surrender.
The pillars of the coiling dragon, the silk hanging all over the walls, the polished smooth floor, etc., make the decoration of the main hall resplendent and full of the royal style of "the country is rich and the people are strong".
The earth dragon and the wall of fire are partitioned, so that you can enjoy the feeling of spring in this period close to the Xiaoice River, or early winter, when it is cold and biting.
On the golden dragon chair, the crown on his head is crooked, and the twelve white jade crowns are tilted with his body, and the Han Ling Emperor who is open-chested and "exposed" is the royal atmosphere, but he is the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, in the true sense.
On both sides of the dragon chair, the steps down the dragon chair, there is a eunuch on both sides of each step, a nine-level high platform, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong stand at the first level, followed by Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, etc., a total of eighteen eunuchs, in addition to the ten permanent servants and twelve people, there are heads and faces, and the eunuchs favored by Emperor Han Ling are here.
The general He Jin was at the top of the left, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep, the three princes and nine kings, the hundred officials of the capital, ranked behind, gathered in the hall, but no one spoke.
The hall was surprisingly quiet.
"Zizi~" Emperor Han Ling smacked his tongue, with a look of contempt, through the crown, he rolled his eyes: "What! Stop talking! Aren't you usually the most noisy? At the beginning, it was you who played, as long as the party was lifted, peace would definitely be restored, but now look at it, the party has been dissolved, and many party members have also been activated again and held important positions, but what is it in the end! Sake bag rice bag thing! I don't think it's as good as the dog official who changed into an official uniform at the beginning! ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Ling of Han stood up excitedly, danced with his hands, like a ruffian on the street, scolded at the top of his throat, and took out the things that Zhang Rang had made the dog wear official clothes and hats in order to make him happy.
At the beginning, he just ignored the feelings of the officials, pointed to the dog wearing the official uniform, laughed loudly and scolded the dog official, and clapped and cheered while scolding, which was called a happy one.
This is a great joy in the heart of Emperor Han Ling, and it was mentioned again at this time, and the meaning of shame for hundreds of officials is self-evident.
The head of the hundred officials, He Jin, as a foreign relative, is happy to see Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, pointing the finger at the party, and now, it is good to continue to sleep and not add fuel to the fire.
Liu Hong scolded a lot, no one dared to speak, and he let out a big breath of evil for the noisy court in the past.
The more he scolded, Liu Hong became more and more energetic, jumped up, pointed his hand, and pointed at the largest general, He Jin opened his eyes violently, Liu Hong smiled awkwardly, his hand slipped, and pointed to one of the three princes next to him, theoretically if there is no general, it is the captain of the head of the military attaché:
"Cao Song! As a lieutenant, you are in charge of the military of the world, and you also have a part in the removal of the party at the beginning, tell me what you will give me in return under your management! ”
Cao Song, who had just replaced Cui Lie and spent a huge amount of money to buy a captain, was scolded by pointing his nose and calling him by his name, but he didn't dare to speak, this middle-aged man who had a son and gave birth to a generation of heroes was honest like a good boy at the moment.
At this time, as one of the three princes, Situ Xu Xiang, was born in a Runan family, and should have been a member of the eunuch relatives who were responsible for eradicating the "chaotic" government, but he was a hardcore eunuch family.
When he was serving the close ministers in Liu Hong's palace, he secretly colluded with the ten permanent servants, and it was precisely because of this that he became the position of the three princes of Situ.
Cao Song's adoptive father, the eunuch Cao Teng, took the throne, but Cao Teng has been an official for 30 years, and he is an honest official.
Therefore, it is just the opposite of Xu Xiang, who was originally the adopted son of a eunuch and was born in the eunuch party, but joined the party members, and his son Cao "Cao" is the future party leader Yuan Shao, running around for the party.
The political opponent was unlucky, as his opponent, Xu Xiang seized the opportunity to fall into the well and surrendered his hand:
"Your Majesty is wise, in the eyes of the minister, Cao Taiwei is in charge of the military of the world, but this year first in the middle, the people of Xingyang County at the foot of the Son of Heaven rebelled, Liangzhou in the west lost his hand, lost to the Qiang rebels, Xianbei in the north plundered in the south, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in the east held high the anti-flag, and also rebellious self-proclaimed Son of Heaven, even in the south, first Cao "sex" reported, occupying people "chaos", now Changsha District is even rebelling, Shanyue traitor Zhao Ci took the opportunity to rise again!"
Xu Xiang pointed his finger at Cao Song, blushed his neck, and scolded: "Dare to ask Taiwei Cao, east, west, north, south, and middle, the five directions are 'chaotic', as the head of the military attaché, what are you doing!" ”
The scolding of the Son of Heaven is okay, the "chaos" of the five parties is indeed his own dereliction of duty, but the political enemy fell into the ground, where is Cao Song willing to endure: "Hmph! Whiskers and horses, where is your turn to teach me a lesson! ”
Whose beard is slipped, whose horse is patted, it goes without saying that today's eunuchs went to court, and the most comes, where is Xu Xiang willing to weaken his momentum in front of his master, not to mention that he has already prepared:
"Captain Cao, Xingyang on the Chinese side was led by the cavalry general He Miao to lead the five colonels of the Northern Army, the counterinsurgency general Zuo Feng, and the Ping thief general Jian Shuo, and the 10,000 soldiers of Ping Zhao Ci accompanied the capital Nanyang and suppressed it.
Liangzhou in the West, is the top table of the Zuo Pingchao, and the reuse of Huangfu Song as the general of the left, and now even the war is victorious.
Xianbei in the north, was driven back to the grassland by Gongsun Zan and Xiahoulan, one of them was a local hero, and the other was promoted by the Zuo Pingchao. ”
