71. The first snow in the imperial capital (1)
The land of Gyeonggi, the prosperous city of Luoyang, is the imperial capital in the end, and it is prosperous for thousands of miles, even the beggars on the street are a little more rich and noble than elsewhere, according to the witty saying, it is also the emperor who begs for food at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is a face!
It is also reasonable to say that no matter how poor the people are outside the imperial capital, at least under the roots of the imperial city, there should always be some Ming Jun prosperous times, which is also called "face"
In fact, although there is such a faint monarch as Emperor Ling, now, most of the people in the imperial capital can still live in peace...... Even though there are many names of excesses and miscellaneous taxes, the dignified Han Kingdom will not be affected by the war.
But in recent days, the entire imperial capital has a strange atmosphere, brewing treacherous, and the daily routine patrol of the city by the Terracotta Division is full of gloomy and dead air.
The two inner and outer cities, the long streets criss-cross, the cold is slaughtered, and the frost is condensed
Cut and divide the entire ancient and magnificent giant city.
On the windy streets, in addition to the scrambled traffickers, only children are the most active.
All kinds of small cotton clothes, mixed men and women, the total horn Yan Yan, and the children's voices babbling, seem to be a rare bright color in the oppressive imperial capital
The childish voice didn't care, and shouted in groups
"Snow falls from the sky, and the whole country is full of sorrow,
The emperor will collapse, and the lord is suspicious,
The general washes his armor, what ...... the heavens are subordinate"
In just three simple white nursery rhymes, in recent days, they have inexplicably spread in Kyoto, scattered in the winter wind, and blown into the ears of countless well-intentioned people.
At this moment, in the mansion of the great general of this dynasty, there is a stove in the hall.
As the first person to be a military minister in the dynasty, in addition to He Jin's contribution to pulling out the **** righteousness back then, the only thing he can say is that his sister is the queen of the dynasty.
The beauty who ranked thirty-second on the seventy-two national color map drawn by Dong Zhuo.
He Jin actually understands that if it weren't for TOEFL's sister's good face, this general position would never be his turn to sit down.
But then again, if it weren't for the current queen's beauty, she would have been cut by a thousand knives after she poisoned Wang Meiren back then.
Thinking of this, He Jin, who was dressed in a luxurious loose brocade robe, took a sip of hot wine, and smiled at the man sitting on his left:
"Originally, beauty is really a good thing......"
The man looked fair and young, but he had a thin beard under his chin, and his temperament was upright and serious, so it was difficult to judge his age for a while.
Listening to He Jin's words, he bowed his hand and echoed: "What the general said is very true, and what the "Book of Songs" says,
The peach tree is gorgeous, brilliant and bright, when the household does not break, floats and straightens, and sighs and sighs......
Since ancient times, beauties have been hard to find, who doesn't want to get them"
"Hey...... In the beginning, you cited it again, and you should be punished......"
He Jin picked up the wine vessel while speaking, and poured a full glass, Yuan Shao did not push, raised his sleeves and drank it all, he had the chic of a son of a family.
Before he put down the cup, he heard He Jin ask:
"I originally thought that the women of the world, in terms of sex, who is the first?"
Yuan Shao's tone was cautious, "If it is the public opinion of the world, or is it the leader of Lu Fengxian, the commander of the state cavalry?" ”
"Hahaha, haha, I was an honest person at the beginning, and I didn't go to meet and say good things about my queen sister like those pickles......"
He Jin laughed and seemed to be very happy, and after drinking another glass, he shook his head at Yuan Shao and said
"However, the imperial capital and the state are so far apart, even if there is a state of alluring the country, it is also difficult to find, how can it be more vivid than the fragrance close at hand"
Yuan Shao, who was still smiling in his eyes, felt cold when he heard this, and asked quietly, "What did the general say?" ”
"Diao Chan ......"
He Jin was calm, and his eyes were a little hot.
When Yuan Shao heard this, as expected, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, hesitated for a moment and reminded:
"General, Wang Situ can be regarded as one of the leaders of the Wen Party today, and he must not be ...... for a woman"
"It doesn't matter, with the power of this general, after the Son of Heaven goes, it will be my nephew Liu Bian who will succeed him, and then whether it is the pickled party or the civilian official, it will be a puppet in the palm of his hand......"
saw He Jin's obvious arrogance, and even said nothing
Yuan Shao is still gentle and respectful on his face, but he is a little contemptuous in his heart, in the end, he is just a butcher's family, and his vision is only a little bit insightful.
If it weren't for the need to borrow his momentum at this moment, Yuan Shao would categorically disdain to be with him.
Yuan Shao, who was still hesitant, did not hesitate at this moment, and decided to treat He Jin as an outcast.
seemed to have no intention and said to He Jin:
"Although the prince Liu Xie was born to Wang Meiren back then, he was raised by the Queen Mother Dong since he was a child, which ......"
"It's just a woman......" He Jin sneered
"But General, you have always had a deep disagreement with the Pickling Party, will they watch Prince Liu Bian ascend the throne? Comparing their hearts to their hearts, aren't they afraid of the general's liquidation in the future? ”
Yuan Shao was not in a hurry, but he was kind and persuasive, and when he saw that He Jin's face was not very good-looking, he reminded him kindly at the right time:
"Besides, Jian Shuo is the head of the eight captains of the West Garden, and the imperial capital patrol and forbidden army are all dispatched, and His Majesty will be ordered for a few days at this moment...... If the eunuch party has a great rebellion...... colluded with the Queen Mother......
"How dare you do this!"
He Jin threw the cup to the ground, and his voice was crisp and pleasant. But the general's face was already quite ugly, and it was obvious that if this situation that Yuan Shao said really happened, it would bring him great trouble.
Yuan Shao's face was frightened, and he was half-prostrate on the ground with his head bowed, looking very humble:
"The general is temporarily angry, according to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to strike first, clear the king's side, and punish the eunuch...... And Yuan Shu, the younger brother of Xiaguan, is serving as the general of Huben Zhonglang at the moment...... Xia Guan also has a lot of dealings with party members Lin on weekdays......"
He Jin lowered his head and carefully looked at Yuan Shao who was prostrate on the ground, and after seeing his trembling and humble appearance, he raised his head and was silent.
Only in this short moment, Yuan Shao, who was prostrate on the ground, raised his head slightly, looked cold, and looked at the sub-plaque hanging in this small side hall: "Heroes slaughter more dogs"
This is a gift when he first entered Beijing to visit He Jin, perhaps because of the comfort of this sycophant, he gradually became He Jin's cronies after a few years of operation, I have to say that this tiger skin of a brilliant relative did provide a lot of convenience to Yuan Shao.
For the sake of this, Yuan Shao felt that he could collect the body of the general and bury the prince with a big funeral.
***********************************
In fact, although Luoyang is no worse than Chang'an, the imperial palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty is indeed not as magnificent as the Western Han Dynasty.
Therefore, after Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, a large part of the forced labor and taxes were intercepted to repair the Eastern Han Dynasty palace.
Even though Emperor Ling was the most useless Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he still longed to be like the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, and to govern martial arts.
Therefore, this renovated and rebuilt palace complex is indeed unparalleled in the world in terms of bearing. The architectural style is simple and majestic, the abutment of the main hall is high to the point of metamorphosis, and you can overlook most of Luoyang City when you ascend.
The whole palace is composed of 1,000 and 80 large and small buildings, because Emperor Ling has been superstitious in recent years, the palace complex is extremely particular about yin and yang, and the green and black can be used to make such things.
The arrangement is like the most complicated Zhanjiao array, magnificent and majestic, and even the details are very scrutinized.
It is said that only the blessing mantra on any tile on the pepper room hall in the harem must be carved for an hour, as long as the wrong stroke is carved, it must be scrapped and restarted, and a tile is worth two days of rations for a family of three.
The beauties in the palace, each burned spice ashes had to be pulled out by a special eunuch according to the carriage.
Not to mention the mountains of jade, precious stones, gold, and silk.
Treasures and delicacies from all over the world, birds and animals,
In fact, if the imperial dining room slaughtered a lamb weighing 200 catties, there would be less than eight taels that could be used to present it to the Spirit Emperor.
However, such a lowly thing as mutton is only the most inconspicuous plate of dozens or even hundreds of dishes, and it is almost thrown away intact.
You may be able to say that Emperor Ling ruined the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but I have to admit that he did succeed in squeezing the fat and ointment of the entire people of the world, so that his personal desires were satisfied to the greatest extent.
Then the palace he worked so hard to cast, of course, is not only a majestic appearance, maybe people like Emperor Ling who don't know about ghosts and gods don't know, but if Li Xi is here, he can carefully observe the unimaginable and unimaginable clouds in the palace, and the complex and regular mystical flow in the entire palace.
Black, white, red, yellow, blue and purple, intermingled and distinct, but intertwined with each other, the individual buildings are like embankments, forming this flow of air into an incredible rule, winding and circling for thousands of miles in the inner city, incomparably magnificent.
If there are ghosts and gods who have not been allowed by the imperial decree to come here, even if they are great gods of the purple qi grid, if they stay desperately and do not escape, they will only be strangled by this glorious "moat".
Mortals like Emperor Ling probably don't know that this building complex that cost countless people blood and sweat, hundreds of people money, and the hard work of more than 500 Taoist priests has blocked countless ghosts and gods for him.
However, what ghosts and gods can't do, humans can do, and the Spirit Emperor is finally coming to the end of his life.
At this moment, the ten eunuchs and three of the eight captains of the West Garden gathered outside the Weiyang Palace, and the cold wind blew their big sleeves, fluttering like chic hermits.
Zhang Rang, led by the eunuch, looked at Jian Shuo, although the little yellow gate in charge of the guards is also one of the eight captains who are used to check and balance his relatives, his power has been expanding in recent years, but the influence left by Zhang Rang's prestige is not so easy to get rid of, not to mention that this is a sensitive time.
So perceiving Zhang Rang's gaze, Jian Shuo trotted to Zhang Rang with a very low posture, and his tone was very respectful: "Master Hou, what do you command?"
Seeing this, a lieutenant who came with Jian Shuo only sighed helplessly, after all, the situation is not only stronger than people, but also bigger than the sky.
But at this time, Bao Hong, who was serving as a lieutenant in the military academy, saw the colleague next to him striding towards Zhang Rang's group of people with a bright smile on his face.
He bowed his sleeves and said loudly
"Captain of the Dian Military Academy-Yilang, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, meet the princes"
