52. a dragon chair
Liu Dingguo can be called the first pervert of the Han Dynasty, Han Yan used a song "Breaking the Array" to get the Jiangdu King Liu Fei and the pianist and painter, and went straight to the fifth floor, but saw that this girl was taking turns gnawing with the three splendid beauties, if it wasn't for the fear that someone might come up downstairs, he would probably pick up the gun on the spot.
The beauties that ordinary geniuses can only see when they break their heads, they are just playthings at their fingertips here, even if the beauties are reluctant and smiling and happy, but the gap between identity and strength can crush what people insist on in their hearts.
Yan State borders the Xiongnu, is the first barrier of the Han Dynasty, the people are fierce, the county is plundered all the year round, the imperial court hopes that Liu Dingguo will resist the Xiongnu, so he did not move, but also allowed him to train soldiers and horses, recruit soldiers.
Seeing Han Yan coming up, Liu Dingguo restrained himself, but he didn't plan to leave like this, and dragged Han up to the sixth floor, wanting to see the so-called "beautiful woman", but he pounced.
The two brothers talked about the old days, and the discussion was nothing more than the of "giving birth to a son", during which they talked about the "rumors of sleeping girls" and fasted their three daughters...... Liu Dingguo's face was full of bitterness, and he couldn't say anything about it, and there was no way to refute the rumors. If you explain that the blood test shows that the three daughters are not biological, then you are cuckolding. If you say that your daughter is yours, and even a girl is involved, then it is better to be a beast......
At the beginning of April, the graceful new willow dances lightly in the spring breeze, the graceful and luxurious peony shows the people delicate, Emperor Jing issued an edict to enjoy with the people, and the people are allowed to gather and drink for five days, and the people can buy and sell the liquor pulp.
The birthday of the Son of Heaven, which has been prepared for several months, finally kicked off, with lantern festivals, night banquets, and spring hunting, which lasted for five days, during which all the princes entered Beijing to offer gifts, and the princess and prince paid their respects to His Majesty.
The most anxious person these days is Liu Che, as the prince, he has to be better than the princes in any aspect, because this is how it should be. If you are weak, you will be ridiculed for being incompetent, and you will also question the emperor's vision of choosing a successor.
Since yesterday, the princes began to meet the emperor, sending birthday wishes, jewelry, fairy jade, mountains and seas, affected by the warm atmosphere, everyone could not help but secretly compare, which made Liu Che very anxious, tomorrow is the day when the princes agreed to give gifts to His Majesty together, originally accompanied by the emperor to receive the princes in Weiyang Palace, but he slipped away halfway, and secretly ran back to the palace, when he saw the gift that Han Yan prepared for him...... Speechless for a long time.
The next day, when the moon was still in the sky, Liu Che got up to rest, yawned and let the maids manipulate him, and before the sun came out, he sorted out his clothes and went to Weiyang Palace with gifts in a carriage.
Chang'an City in the night, the ancient city wall is like a giant beast in the dark night, looking at it from afar, only to see a solidified black, in the dark night moonlight shows the color of blue and gray hideous, the rivers and mountains are full of wind and clouds, but it is as safe as a mountain, the history of the Han Dynasty has witnessed its royal spirit and domineering.
On this city wall, the lanterns are brilliant, the colorful weaving is flying, the ancient rhyme is festive, until a wisp of morning glow in the sky passes through the thick fog, the cicadas are vigorous, and the water is thin, Liu Chefang drove through the wall hole and stepped into the gate of Weiyang Palace.
Compared with the general princes, the princes' gift ceremonies are much more solemn, in the largest dynasty of parents, any ceremony of filial piety to parents will have more good name and whitewash, after today, the world will spread XX prince's filial piety, good gifts, His Majesty values and other remarks, adding a little weight and recognition to the hearts of the people.
With the colorful morning glow completely rising, the world slowly opened the soft curtain, the whole earth suddenly opened up, under the leadership of the inner servant, the crown prince Liu Che in front, the king of the river Liu De followed, the princes lined up into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty has fourteen sons, among which the former prince Liu Rong was implicated and deposed because of his mother's generosity, and committed suicide because of the invasion of the temple, and the king of Linjiang Liu Yan has a short life, and now there are only twelve sons left, Liu Che is the old ten, and there are four younger brothers than him, the youngest Changshan Wang is only eight years old, at this moment he bows his body, puts his hands on his knees, and follows the team with his head bowed and step.
After that, the palace guards carried everyone's gifts with them, in order to be on call when preparing for the gifts, among which Liu Che's gifts were the most eye-catching, ten strong men used thick sticks to pass through the finger-thick hemp rope, and carried them away, and those who didn't know thought they were carrying the coffin......
In the Han Dynasty, the ministers adopted a kneeling posture to go to the court, and before entering the main hall, they had to take off their shoes, and when answering the emperor's words, they first had to indicate their official position and name, but the princes did not have to be so troublesome, they could enter the court without tending to be famous.
Emperor Han Jing has been in a good mood these days, and in the early spring, when the grass recovered, he also followed the vitality, and looked at the sons who were rushing in, and he was very pleased.
"Son, knock on my father." The uniform voice, thick and immature, under the leadership of Liu Che, the prince kowtowed.
"Get up, let me take a good look." Emperor Jing smiled, looked at his sons one by one, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, some of them have changed greatly after only a year of not seeing each other, from a young boy to a handsome and upright descendant, and I am also old.
"How have you been?"
"Back to back...... Back to his father, the emperor and his sons are all ...... Good. Liu Yu, the king of Lu, was quick to speak, and he preemptively replied to everyone, but he was born with an idiot, and the corners of everyone's mouths twitched when he said one sentence.
Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and calmed down, obviously not waiting to see his stupidity, and replied, "That's good." Then he looked at his youngest son, King Changshan, "Shun'er, what about you?" ”
"Back to my father, my sons are not good, I often miss my father at night and can't sleep, and I want to be by my father's side......" He cried his nose as he spoke, wiped his nose with his sleeve and said, "I also miss my mother." ”
"Wu'er doesn't cry, stay in Chang'an for a few more days this time, your aunt misses you too." Emperor Jing loved Liu Shun the most, and when he saw him crying, his heart softened.
The Han Dynasty stipulates that as long as the prince is crowned as a prince, he will go to the feudal country, Liu Shun is only eight years old, and he lives alone in Changshan country, separated from his parents and parents, and no one controls him in the feudal country, so he repeatedly violates the law and prohibition, and there are many fornications, but Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty pardons him every time.
"De'er, what about you?" looked at the eldest Liu De again.
"Back to my father, my sons and daughters have a full life and are obsessed with literature, but I often miss you and my mother."
"I heard that you have traveled all over Lu Yan and Zhao Wei, looking for books just to ask for books, and for those who are unwilling to sell books, you are kind to ask for them, and never take coercive measures. My son's virtue is spread all over the world, and his husband is only elegant and outstanding, and I am proud of you. Emperor Jing's face glowed, and he was very pleased.
"Praise from Father Xie." Liu De kowtowed and thanked him.
The main hall of the great dynasty is splendid and extravagant, with a purple-red floor, a soft carpet of black and red, a golden wall band, a golden inscription on the door, and a window carved with antique patterns, but in this luxury, people's hearts are different.
Liu Che always kept his head down, maintaining the most respectful etiquette, and Emperor Jing praised his second brother Liu De, but he didn't move at all, but his eyes looking at the ground fluctuated slightly.
The rest of the princes either don't matter, such as Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, because of his mother's humble status and not favored by the Son of Heaven, was crowned as the king in a low-drum, poor country, and has no hope of the throne in this life.
or jealousy, such as Liu Duan, the king of Jiaoxi, Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, and Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, are all mean and vicious people in their hearts, one is cunning and treacherous, one is cruel and fierce with impotence, and the last one is arrogant and arrogant, these three people have coveted the throne for many years, and whoever is valued by the emperor will dislike them.
After a little reminiscence, he finally returned to the topic, the confessor saluted and sang the trumpet, and the kings congratulated in turn. should have been from the eldest to the youngest, but Emperor Jing asked first: "Shun'er, what gift did you prepare for your father?" ”
"A big pearl hangs on the main hall, and my father doesn't need to light it when he reviews the chapter at night." Liu Shun's arms were opened and embraced, making exaggerated metaphors, and there were also chamberlains outside the hall who presented pearls, the size of a child's fist, bright and dazzling.
"My son's filial piety is commendable."
Emperor Jing smiled and waved his hand to let the chamberlain accept the gift, didn't say anything more, and looked at Liu Cheng, the king of Qinghe, who was only nine years old, hoping that he could get something fresh.
However, Liu Cheng is also a treasure, a huge coral tree, there is nothing new, Emperor Jing is still smiling, smiled and stopped talking.
Until Liu Duan, the king of the old eight Jiaoxi, was thin and thin, and he was sick all the year round, but he could make Emperor Jing laugh.
"Father, last year you sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to find new food, enrich the people's planting choices, Erchen happened to hear that there is garlic outside the territory, so run thousands of miles to let people find it, if this thing is fried in it, the taste is delicious, ordinary ingredients can also be fried into a delicacy, it is said that this garlic can also ward off evil spirits, after eating, ghosts and gods do not invade, all evils are easy to dispel, and the charm does not dare to commit, and it can be used as medicine."
"Is there such a strange thing?" Emperor Jing was surprised.
"Father will know when you taste it." Liu Duan's voice fell, and there was an attendant outside the hall who served the plate, and the freshly made scrambled eggs with meat foam were still steaming.
Emperor Jing picked up the chopsticks from the plate, put a small piece in his mouth, closed his eyes and brows and chewed carefully, "It seems that the usual meals are a little different." ”
Liu Duan's eyebrows were windy, very proud, and then said: "The meal is just a trivial matter, this garlic can enhance strength for a long time, resist disease and plague, and is a good thing for marching and fighting, especially in the scorching summer, if there are many dead people, there will be plague, and eating garlic can be carried." ”
"And so good?" Emperor Jing is speechless, according to what you say, in the future, when each soldier carries him a pound of garlic in the future, wouldn't he be invincible in the world?
"Father will send someone to try." Liu Duan is confident.
"Okay, good, worthy of being my child, Duan'er opened his father's eyes today, and also let the soldiers rely on when they go out, and reward 5,000 gold." Emperor Jing waved his sleeves and smiled.
This is terrible, Liu Duan has been rewarded, it is of great significance, he stood up at the moment, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the corners of his eyes were elongated and contemptuous of the Quartet, what else do you compare with me?
With such a play, Liu Pengzu and Liu Fei couldn't get their hands on the objects they made, and they secretly hated Liu Duan in their hearts, but they were helpless.
Although Liu Yu, the king of Silu, was idiotic, his means of pleasing people were not weak, and he directly asked the chamberlain to bring a horse.
Nowadays, there are 400,000 horses in the Han government, and there are countless horses among the people, but compared with the horses of the Huns, the Han horses are obviously shorter, and the gap between endurance and physical strength is very far, the imperial court is trying to breed good horses, although there are harvests over the years, but the significance is not great, a few years ago, Wei Juan had forbade the body height of more than five feet nine inches, and the high-headed horses under the age of ten years were transported to the outside of the Guan, that is, they were afraid that the Huns would get good horses in the interior.
"Father, father, father, emperor, son, minister, and even lotus gull...... Get a horse, cocoa and cocoa as a breeding breed. ”
"Alright, alright." Emperor Jing waved his hand and interrupted him, "It's rare that you are so hearted, I accepted the horse and rewarded a thousand gold." ”
"Lots and lots ...... Thank you, Father. Liu Yu was unscrupulous and excited......
Emperor Jing ignored him, spoke angrily, and asked Liu De: "De'er, what gift do you give to your father?" ”
"After Qin burned books and pit Confucianism, the classics were lost, the books of the three generations were exhausted, and the people who read were rare. It is rumored that the collection of books in the Rihua Palace can be compared to the royal family, which is very disrespectful. The collection of books in Rihua Palace is the painstaking efforts of Erchen in his life, but in order to avoid folk gossip, Erchen is willing to dedicate all the millions of books in Rihua Palace to his father to enrich the classics of the imperial court, and also hope that his father will promote the books, so that the people can understand things and morality, so that my Han can have long-term peace and stability for thousands of generations. ”
"You're going to donate all the books from Rihua Palace to me?" Emperor Jing is a little unbelievable, what kind of virtue does his son have, his father knows best, Liu De has no hobbies, he just likes to collect books, his life's work is to collect books in Rihua Palace, and to dedicate these books is to give away the achievements of his life.
"As long as the Han is healthy, there will be no regrets even if the sons die." Liu De made a loud noise.
"Look, look at ......" Emperor Jing suddenly got up, very excited, "If you are all like De'er for the country and the people, how can my Han not prosper?" ”
Everyone is ashamed and fearful.
Emperor Jing: "My son Liu De should be a hero of the Han dynasty and a model for kings, and he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold." ”
The princes who bowed their heads all changed their faces, and even Liu Che was not calm in his heart, and he was very worried in his heart, he was afraid that he would be robbed of the limelight today.
This second brother Liu De is really a good means, others don't know the inside story, can I still not understand?
Han Yan sold him millions of papers, what do you want bamboo slips to do with paper, it will take up space to keep them, it is better to donate them to make the emperor happy.
But I can't say this, firstly, I am afraid of upsetting the emperor, and secondly, it has the meaning of brothers frying each other.
Emperor Jing praised Liu De, and his mood gradually calmed down, his face was radiant, and his eyes were bright, which showed that he was in a good mood, looking at his successor, in fact, he didn't expect him to have outstanding gifts, but he still asked: "Che'er, what did you prepare for your father?" ”
"The king of Jiaoxi has garlic, and the king of Hejian has a collection of books, and the ministers can't compare with them, so they can only let the craftsmen create some small things, and they are afraid that they will be ......."
Liu Fei interjected: "Why should the crown prince be modest? ”
Liu Duan helped: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Emperor of the Future, and it is his duty to give gifts to his father, so it is a heart, why don't you let the brothers open their eyes?" ”
Liu Che was embarrassed: "This ......"
Emperor Jing spoke: "Che'er will take out the gift." ”
“…… All right. ”
When the words fell, Liu Che beckoned to the outside of the palace, and the ten strong men carried the heavy thing covered by the big cloth to the hall, and when this thing landed, the entire hall seemed to shake.
Liu Che: "It's better for my father to lift the cloth in person." ”
"It's fine." Emperor Jing got up with curiosity, looked at things that were one meter wide and two meters long, and lifted the cover.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were discolored, everything was lightless, the bright gold shone on the world, the entire hall was silent, everyone held their breath and was shocked.
Dragon Chair!
The whole chair made of gold is entangled by nine dragons, those dragons are lifelike, the form is compelling, some dragons seem to stretch out of the shadow wall, some soar into the clouds, fly into the sky, some glare, as if looking down on the world, looking down on all life, some open their teeth and claws, killing and soaring, some show off their might, showing the risk, and some look back from afar, their eyes are confused......
"Father, do you want to sit on it?"
"Hmm...... Good. Emperor Jing lost his mind, was dizzy, and was deeply fascinated by this dragon chair at a glance.
Garlic, books, and the throne are just a small meaning, everything in the Han Dynasty is based on the supremacy of imperial power, the so-called dignity and humility is to maintain the emperor's rule, and this dragon chair symbolizes supremacy!
Together, the ten strong men moved the desk where Emperor Jing was sitting in the palace and placed the dragon chair there.
Emperor Jing step by step, like a stumbling old man, stepped onto the throne, infatuated with the real dragon carving on the dragon chair, breathtaking.
The moment he sat on the dragon chair, he felt that his body had risen by seven points for no reason, and his field of vision was ten points wider than before.
