Chapter 355: Inauguration
The topography of the 800-mile pass, from west to east is like a dragon, and the Han Chang'an City is built in the south of Weishui, the highest place in the Guanzhong on the Longshou Plain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The area of Chang'an City is much larger than that of Luoyang City, fifteen miles from north to south, eighteen miles from east to west, and the palaces, noble mansions, official offices and temples in the city occupy most of the places.
The palace is concentrated in the middle and south of Chang'an City, and the Weiyang Palace in the southwest corner and the Changle Palace in the east are the main body, and there are auxiliary palace groups such as Gui Palace, North Palace, Jianzhang Palace, Mingguang Palace and so on around the main palace, and the whole palace has been built for more than 90 years.
In the former Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven handled government affairs in Weiyang Palace, and Changle Palace was the residence of the Queen Mother. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Chang'an Palace was destroyed in the war, and the Later Han Dynasty set the capital of Luoyang, only taking Chang'an as the accompanying capital, and never repairing the palace.
Last year, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and mobilized more than 100,000 people to repair Weiyang Palace, but then began to build his Yiwu, as for Changle Palace and other affiliated palace complexes are still dilapidated.
In addition to the Imperial Palace, the mansions of the nobles are distributed in the north area of the Weiyang Palace, called "Beique Jiadi", and the ordinary people live in the north of the city, which is divided into 160 Luli. The famous "Chang'an Nine Cities" is in the northwest corner of the city, separated by Hengmen Street, and is divided into three cities in the east and six cities in the west. The East Market is a place where merchants gather, while the West Market is densely populated with various handicraft workshops.
The government office of the ruling Jinwu is adjacent to the Weiyang Palace, in the northwest corner of the Weiyang Palace, looking at the Changle Palace in the west, looking at the North Que Jiadi in the north, and connecting the arsenal in the south.
At this time, the new deacon Jin Wu Zhang Liao is sitting in the lobby of the government office, a three-legged golden crow is depicted on the screen behind him, and Zhang Liao's official uniform is also depicted with a golden crow.
This may be one of the origins of the name of Zhijinwu, but there is also another origin, I, Yuya, Zhijinwu is in charge of Jinge, in order to prevent extraordinary things.
In the former Han Dynasty, the power of the ruling Jinwu was very great, and he once commanded the Northern Army, and his subordinates also had three people, the left, right, and middle of the road, who were responsible for the Son of Heaven's car to open the road; The middle base order, Cheng, and lieutenant, are in charge of the base door; Temple mutual order, Cheng, head of the palace access control; Du Ship Order, Cheng, and Water Conservancy; Left and right, the commander of the capital of Jingfu, inspected the Beijing division.
By the time of the Later Han Dynasty, all these subordinates were abolished, and the power of Zhijinwu was greatly reduced, and he was only responsible for patrolling outside the palace three times a month and the security of the capital division, and was responsible for guarding and dealing with unexpected situations outside the palace, such as floods and fires, and was not allowed to participate in court politics.
But even so, the current Zhijin Wu still has 200 cavalry, 520 halberds, and is still in charge of the arsenal of weapons.
Zhijinwu regularly inspects the imperial city three times a month, more than 700 people, riding horses, holding halberds on foot, mighty, obeying the guide, full of roads, in Zhang Liao's words, it is very sassy, other ministers in the court do not have such a large entourage team, it is the only one, so Emperor Guangwu has not been called the emperor before seeing the honor guard of Zhijinwu, once sighed, Shi Eun as the Jinwu, marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua.
There is also a person under the ruling Jinwu, who is the adjutant of the ruling Jinwu, with a rank ratio of 1,000 stones, which is equivalent to Sima, and the ruling Jinwu Cheng at this time is the nephew of Huangfu Song, Huangfu Li.
In addition to the Zhijin Wu Cheng, there is also the Arsenal Order, the rank of 600 stones, and the subordinates also have the Arsenal Cheng, who jointly assist the Zhijin Wu in taking charge of the arsenal.
Zhang Liao listened to the following Jinwu Emperor Fu Li report on the affairs of the government office, the affairs of the Jinwu government office are very simple, in addition to the inspection, that is, water and fire security, as for the arsenal, after moving the capital to Chang'an, it is basically empty. Moreover, although the real power of Zhi Jinwu is not as great as that of Taishou, it is easier to control the government office.
Huangfu Li quickly finished the report, and said unabashedly: "The prince of the palace, just because the first two princes of the palace died in an accident, and now the cavalry and the halberd are mostly scattered and demoralized. ”
Zhang Liao nodded, his predecessor Jin Wu Hu Wuban was sent by Dong Zhuo to deliver food, and Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang were killed. And the previous ruling Jinwu was Ding Yuan, Zhang Liao's former old boss, who died at the hands of Lu Bu.
However, in the past two years, the two ruling Jinwu have died unexpectedly, and the officials and guards under him are naturally demoralized, plus the cavalry and halberd holding Jinwu belong to the honor guards, and the status is not as important as the subordinate of the boss, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as the five colonels of the Northern Army, Huben and Yulin, who are also in the Beijing Division, so they are very suppressed by other colleagues, and they are also very low-key when they go out to patrol the city, and they are not as glamorous as Emperor Guangwu envied back then.
Zhang Liao admired Huangfu Li's outspokenness very much, and he smiled and said: "Huangfu Cheng, I have admired Uncle Ling's name for a long time, and now I see that Huangfu Cheng is also a righteous person, with Huangfu Cheng helping me, the affairs of the government office are worry-free." ”
Huangfu Li said: "There are often things in the capital to fight with water and fire, and the prince must not be slack. ”
"This is natural." Zhang Liao pulled Huangfu Li's arm: "Let's go, go out and see the cavalry and the halberd." ”
In the courtyard of the government office outside the lobby, two hundred horsemen and five hundred and twenty halberd-wielding soldiers were already waiting in formation, and in addition, it was Zhao Yun and twenty personal guards brought by Zhang Liao.
Whether it is a cavalry or a halberd-wielder, they are all wearing red military uniforms, and they look fiery red, which is also the color of the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty.
The cavalry and the halberd both belong to the honor guard, the honor guard is not strong in combat, but the biggest feature is that the physical strength and endurance are strong, and the body is high, all in eight feet, neat and uniform, and the foundation is good.
Although these cavalry and halberd bearers lack morale and fighting spirit, they still stand straight, they also serve as the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, they have been repeatedly trained, and if something goes wrong, they will cut off their heads, so that no one dares to slack off, and under strict constraints, the discipline of the cavalry and halberds is far better than that of other soldiers.
Zhang Liao thought that as long as the training was strengthened, the combat effectiveness of these honor guards would improve very quickly, especially in battle battles, because they were accustomed to obedience and rigor, as long as their murderous spirit was raised, it would definitely not be bad.
A group of horsemen and halberds saw the new ruling Jin Wu come out, all showed a look of surprise, for the new ruling Jin Wu's young is obviously very surprised, and many people are disappointed, young represents the poor qualifications and reputation, the former executive Jin Wu Hu Wuban is a generation of celebrities, once one of the eight chefs, also died, and this new Jin Wu is probably worse.
However, when Zhang Liao's gaze swept over them, their hearts sank and they put away their contempt. A person's eyes can reflect the aura, Zhang Liao's eyes are not murderous, but they are not angry and arrogant, which makes them have some heart palpitations. This is in a high position, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has been in charge of the army, and there is no trace of fake.
Compared with the elegance of the previous ruling Jinwu, the new ruling Jingo is more heroic, murderous and majestic.
Later, Huangfu Li also silently looked at this new ruling Jinwu, as the nephew of Huangfu Song, he naturally knew Zhang Liao's name, he could fight well, and he had defeated tens of thousands of troops in Kwantung, and he also handled political affairs very well. Although Zhang Liao is kind, he can faintly detect the bearing and fierceness in his bones.
He didn't know what this ruling Jinwu would bring to the government office, but he had a faint expectation.
Zhang Liao looked around, saw all the horses and halberds awe-inspiring, bowed slightly, and said: "I am Zhang Liao, I am the ruling Jinwu, you can walk sideways in Chang'an from now on." ”
