After dinner, Liu Wei left the palace in a carriage alone, but in fact, this is the last meal Liu Wei ate today, but it was not the last meal Liu Hong ate, the emperor of the Han Dynasty implemented the "day meal, evening food, twilight food" a day, "four meals system" why did the emperor eat four meals a day? Han Bangu's "White Tiger Pass Lile" "Right on the Joy of Séance" is explained as follows: "What is the reason why the king has four eclipses? There are things in all directions, and the work of eating the four seasons is also. It turned out that the emperor ate four meals a day to borrow the numerical concepts of "four directions" and "four hours", which was superstitious and wanted to highlight the difference between the emperor and ordinary people. It's a bit like what some people have to eat late-night snacks these days.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty must have been fat! Liu Wei thought so, but he still shuddered when he thought that he might be such a fat member in the future. I still want to live a little longer, and when the time comes, I will definitely overturn the "four-meal system" and only eat three meals.

After Liu Wei returned to Hefu, he greeted his grandmother Wuyangjun and returned to his residence. Half an hour later, three people, one tall, one short and one small, slipped out of the small door next to He's mansion and disappeared into the night. He's going to see his treasure today......

Duan Xi sat in the carriage and returned home tiredly, such ups and downs, even Duan Xi was full of emotion.

The last time we were so close to death was in the battle of righteousness! In the spring of the first year of Jianning (168), Duan Cheng led more than 10,000 soldiers, carrying 15 days of grain and grass, from Pengyang to Gaoping, and fought with the first zero species in Fengyi Mountain. There were many Qiang soldiers, and Duan Cheng's troops became afraid. Duan Xi looked at the number of Qiang people all over the mountains and fields, and the more than 9,000 soldiers who were surrounded by panic, Duan Xi felt that he might really want to be shrouded in horse leather and die in Fengyi Mountain.

Duan Xi still mustered up the courage and ordered the army to tighten the bowstring, sharpen the swords and guns, triple spears, carry strong crossbows, left and right wings, arrange light horses, and motivate the generals to say: "Now we are thousands of miles away from home, advance, achieve fame, and glorify the lintel." Escape, a dead end, let's work hard to gain fame together! So there was a shout, the army jumped into battle in response, Duan Cheng galloped beside him, suddenly attacked, the Qiang army collapsed, a total of more than 8,000 beheaded, 280,000 cattle, horses and sheep were obtained.

The ups and downs this time are really much more dangerous than back then. "Master, father!" Duan Xi's wife and son wiped away their tears and hurriedly went up to help Duan Xi get out of the car.

"Ma'am, it's okay, it's okay." Duan Xi said a little tiredly, and patted the shoulder of the young man next to him. It was his youngest son.

"Master, let's talk about it when I go in, let's talk about ......it when I go in" Although Duan Xi's married couple is not a wealthy family, they are also young ladies of the official family, she hurriedly ordered the family to come and serve, and personally helped Duan Xi in.

"Close the door, no one will be seen today!" Before the Song Dynasty, the status of the hostess in the Han family was almost equal to that of the male hostess, and many of the hostess's families were famous. At home, except for Duan Xi, no one's status is comparable to Duan Xi's wife.

Duan Xi was lying on the bed, his head resting on his old wife's lap with his eyes closed, his wife was carefully treating her wounds, these things, as long as she returned home, she must have done them.

Suddenly, Duan Xi felt drops of hot water fall on his face. Duan Xi opened her eyes and carefully wiped the tears of her wife, although she has aged her appearance, but she has accompanied herself, she has been fighting in Liangzhou for many years, but when she was dealing with her wounds, she has always been strong and has not shed a single tear, and she has walked through the wind and rain, but this time, she shed tears.

"What's wrong? Jing'er. Duan Xi gently called him a name that had not changed for more than thirty years.

"Master, after you were taken away, I was really afraid, afraid that our Duan family would be gone...... "Under feudal society, once a person is convicted, it is often not only the individual who is punished, but the mercy that only exists in modern times is the crime of wife and children. Chopping grass to eradicate the roots, feudal society is too experienced. The crime of destroying the three tribes and exterminating the nine tribes is often seen in the history books.

"I inquired in the palace, and they said that the minimum punishment for the master's crime would be exiled to the frontier and demoted to a commoner." Duan Xi's wife was really scared.

He and Duan Xi are also from Liangzhou, where there are families who have been exiled to Liangzhou for many years to serve, and those who have been clothed and fed since childhood often commit suicide, and there are not a few who go crazy. The exiled criminals and their families were not even as good as cattle and horses. Once Duan Xi is guilty, the fate of the Duan family can be seen from this.

The fact is also that after Duan Xi's death, his family was also exiled to the border of eastern Liaodong. Later, after the regular servant Lu Qiang went up and sued Duan Cheng for his exploits, Emperor Ling issued an edict to return Duan Cheng's wife and children to the county.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Duan Xi stroked his wife's hair, and he also knew what would happen to his wife and children if he was guilty. And what will his political enemies do? In his decades of official career, he has seen too much. Moreover, the political struggle in the late Han Dynasty has become more and more cruel, since Cao Cao's grandfather Dachangqiu Cao Teng retired safely, almost all the permanent attendants, no matter how prominent and powerful they were before, but all of them have not died well.

"Tomorrow, let Chang'er go to Brother Simmer, and he will follow Brother Simmer to do things in the future." Duan Xi closed his eyes and instructed his wife. Duan Xuan is another general of the Duan family, he is Duan Xi's brother by generation, and the current Liangzhou Wuwei Lieutenant is the best general in the Duan family besides Duan Xi.

Duan Chang is Duan Xi's youngest son, and Duan Xi's son has mediocre qualifications in military talent. Only the youngest son Duan Chang often secretly hid military books to read, and was beaten by Duan Xi several times, but he didn't change. It may also be that Duan Xi did not allow his son to take this old path, on this road, he has seen too much blood and oppression, and in the face of the Shi clan, he has never been able to integrate into it. He just hopes that his children can be a rich man in peace.

Therefore, the mean, conservative, Duan Xi's descendants are almost transparent people in Luoyang, where nobles and ministers are everywhere, compared to those "star figures" Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others.

"He yearns for the army, and he is safe outside, the Duan family needs to dig one more hole." Duan Xi had already realized what kind of turmoil his family was in.

Duan Xi endured the pain, got up with the support of his wife, held his head and said, "Jing'er, do you know the prince's debate?" ”

His wife's hand paused: "I know, no one in Luoyang City doesn't know him." It's just you, staring at the frontier every day. Either the door is not out of the door. He is the son of Queen He, the eldest son of His Majesty, raised outside the palace since he was a child, the name of the prodigy is known to everyone, and he can be familiar with poetry and books at the age of four. ”

"Jian Shuo said, it is the prince who pleaded for His Majesty to come to the edict prison to mention me in person, otherwise, I should have been poisoned by Yang Qiu at this time." Duan Xi said very indifferently, but his wife was already crying in fright. Duan Xi is the pillar of the Duan family, Duan Xi is dead, the Duan family is dead, Duan Xi is alive, and the Duan family is here.

"Jian Shuo is His Majesty's personal confidant, and he doesn't need to speak well for a young prince who is away. Tomorrow I will go to the door to thank Your Highness. "Although Liu Wei is a prince, in ancient times, the infant mortality rate was amazing, especially at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, several emperors were childless, are they really emperors who are infertile? It's just that none of them lived to adulthood.

"No, I'm going to go myself." An ungrateful person doesn't have a good reputation in the Han family, and without a reputation, even if you break it, it's useless. Under the probationary system, if a person has a good reputation, he is equivalent to having the incorruptible body of Vajra!

During the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhang Cang was grateful to Dade for the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Anguo, and the right prime minister Wang Ling who had saved his life. After Zhang Cang became a high-ranking official, he often served Wang Ling as a father.

After Wang Ling's death, Zhang Cang was already the prime minister, but every five days on vacation, he always visited Mrs. Wang Ling first and offered food before daring to go home. It is with such a good reputation that Zhang Cang has been the high-risk profession of prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than ten years and stands tall and abdicates safely.

"Perhaps, I'll be able to see him tonight." Duan Xi didn't know if this kid was naturally intelligent, or if he did it at the behest of He, but he had a hunch that he would have the answer tonight.

"I'm about to go to Bingzhou to take up the post of General of the Huns. But I can't take you and my sons with me, and after I'm gone, I'm not allowed to walk around with any outsiders in my house. "What Duan Xi said was very categorical, after so many years of ups and downs, it is estimated that those who can mix in the court have become a thousand-year-old vixen. He understands what the emperor means, what he wants to do is to be a lonely minister, and there is only one object of his allegiance, that is, the emperor! In that case, no one will be able to help him.

"Tuk Tuk ......" A thin knock came at the door, and Duan Chang's voice came from the door. Father, there are people outside the door asking to see you. ”

The contract has been sent~ Come on, the old man thinks it's good to order a collection, Nan Ke won't be a eunuch~
