Chapter 14 School Examination

As the Kyoto of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang is located in the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, across several rivers of Yi, Luo and Jian, leaning on the Bishan Mountain in the north, facing Yique in the south, according to the Tiger Prison in the east, and Kunban in the west.

After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Chang'an was broken several times, the population was sharply reduced, full of desolation, the grandeur and prosperity of the past were gone, and the Han Dynasty was rejuvenated in Guangwu, because Chang'an was broken, and the capital was Luoyang.

After all, Luoyang is also a place of dangerous defense and tiger standing on the dragon plate, "tuned in the center, blocking the valley in the west, looking at Jingshan in the east, looking at the Shao Room in the south, and the three rivers of Dayue in the north, the country of wind and rain, and the four obstacles." In the middle of the world, the geographical location is dangerous, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers.

In addition, the Yiluo Plain is fertile, the surrounding waterways are developed, the transportation is convenient, and there is a constant stream of merchants from the south to the north, which can well solve the supply problem of the Beijing division, so that the emperor can sit in the center, control the world remotely, and concentrate on maintaining his rule.

"How could Dong Zhuo bear to burn it?"

Thinking of the catastrophe of the fire in Luoyang in the future, Fu Quan was angry in his heart and lamented for this ancient city that witnessed the glory of the Han people.

There are 12 city gates in Luoyang, there are four gates in the south, from east to west are Kaiyang Gate, Pingcheng Gate, Xiaoyuan Gate and Tianjin Gate in turn, its north gate is the valley gate in the east, the summer gate in the west, and leads directly to the North Palace. The east gate is the upper east gate, the middle gate and the consumption gate from north to south, and the west gate is the upper west gate, the Yongmen gate and the Guangyang gate from north to south. Cai Yong once said: "The gate of Pingcheng, the gate of Zhengyang, is connected with the palace, and the suburbs worship the law from the exit, and the most honorable person of the door." "To respect the flat city gate, which not only shows that it is the main gate, but also shows that Luoyang is facing the north and facing the south, and the south is respected.

The convoy arrived at the east gate, and everyone walked into the city through the gate, which is also called the Wangjing gate, and walked closest to the Hou Mansion from here.

The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been more than 100 years, and Luoyang has been built by successive emperors, and it is also magnificent and abnormal. The city is nine miles long from north to south, six miles wide from east to west, divided into 24 streets, with a population of 100,000, although it is not as good as Chang'an of the Western Han Dynasty, it is also a giant city in the world.

When the group returned to the mansion, Fuquan had not yet rested, when they heard the discussion of the servants at home, and after careful listening, they realized that their cheap emperor uncle was going to summon his uncle to the palace with him tomorrow.

Before he thought about it, Fu Quan went back to the house and fell asleep after eating and seeing that Fu was finished, after all, his body was still developing, and he was very tired when he went out of the city today.

The next day, Fuquan, who was still lying in bed, was pulled up early by Yao'er and groomed for him. Entering the palace today is not an ordinary time, and you need to dress very decently.

After changing the clothes sent by the servants, and leaving the house, he went to ask his uncle and aunt for peace, and at this time he had changed into court clothes, and after greeting several people, he ate his meal, and summoned Cangtou to prepare a carriage and enter the palace.

The court of the Eastern Han Dynasty, since the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuding was the capital of Luoyang, most of the emperors are building, and the building is magnificent, revealing a thick historical heritage, which makes people think about many dark things that have happened in the court in the past hundred years.

The palace is mainly divided into two palaces, south and north, and the two palaces are connected by a double road covered by a roof, and the north and south are seven miles long. The so-called compound road is three roads side by side, the middle one is the emperor's exclusive royal road, and the two sides are the roads taken by ministers and attendants. There is also a guard every ten steps, standing on the side of the two compartments, very mighty.

The north gate of the south palace and the south gate of the north palace are opposite, and there is the reputation of "the two palaces look at each other from afar, and the double gate is more than 100 feet". The whole palace plan clearly shows a "Lu" shape, the south palace is the place where the emperor and the bureaucrats discuss politics, the north palace is mainly the palace where the emperor and his concubines live, the status is more important than the south palace, so the building is extremely luxurious.

The two stopped in the North Palace until they came to a large palace, the Deyang Palace, which should be the largest palace near the North Palace.

In front of the palace, there are guards of the forbidden army, and after the ambush is completed, Fuquan waits, and he comes forward to talk to the guards. Not long after, the guard entered the temple and returned, followed by a young temple man.

The people of the temple had no beard and a fierce face, looked at the two of them, and saluted: "Slave Zhang Rang, I have seen the prince and the little Langjun, the two of them came with me, and Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time." Although the language is respectful, there is a natural arrogance in the tone, and it doesn't seem to take the two of them very seriously.

Zhang Rang? He is Zhang Rang! The great eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people in the history books? The head of the future Ten Permanent Attendants?

Fu Quan followed behind Fu Wan, his eyes carefully observed Zhang Rang who was leading the way in front of him, and for a moment he wanted to step forward and slash this person, but after thinking about it, he gave up, because what if he killed him?

Zhang Rang is gone, maybe there will be the next Li Rang, Zhao Rang and the like, after all, the emperor needs the eunuchs of the Chinese Dynasty to deal with the foreign courtiers and protect their rights, which is also after Wang Fu's faction was eradicated by Liu Hong, the power of the eunuchs was greatly reduced, and there were no powerful relatives, Liu Hong quickly let Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong take the throne, and even did not hesitate to shout "Zhang Changshi is my father, Zhao Changshi is my mother" to show his trust in them.

There was a sound of men and women laughing in the hall, and after thinking about it, Fu Quan knew that it must be the famous lustful monarch Liu Hong in history who was doing the trick, after all, there was no one else who could be so bold and reckless in the palace except him.

Sure enough, waiting outside a mahogany screen, Zhang Rang didn't go in for a long time, and then he heard a voice from inside, "Let the two of you come in." "The voice sounds young, and it shouldn't be too old.

Later, with Zhang Rang leading the way, after the two entered the screen, they saw that Lang Jun was kneeling in front of the desk high, it was the little emperor, at this time his face was a little ruddy, and the delicate palace maid next to him was also a little blushing, thinking that it was the result of the frolic just now.

The two stood in front of the emperor, Fu Quan followed behind Fu Wan, and then saluted, shouting in unison: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "Qing is a lonely family, don't be polite, not to mention that this time Gu is just here to see Gu's plague cure." ”

"No." After Fu replied, he then let go of his body, and his eyes motioned for Fu Quan to step forward.

After getting Fu Fu's eyes, Fu Quan stepped forward and said, "My nephew Tannu has seen my uncle. ”

"Very good, they have grown so big, I listened to Master Yang's words, you have offered a strategy to deal with the plague, and you are worthy of being a nephew outside Lone."

"Your Majesty is wonderful, the little nephew is ashamed, but he is just a childlike child and a hobby of observation."

Liu Hong laughed, glanced at Fuquan and said: "As Master Yang said, he is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and unhurried, and has the style of a gentleman." Then he glanced at Fu Wan beside him and said, "Qing really taught a good nephew." ”

After Fu finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "Children are naughty, Your Majesty should not take it seriously, beware of arrogant Tan Nu." ”

Liu Hong listened to the voice, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and secretly said that this brother-in-law's temper could not be changed, and he was always cautious, cutting off his conversation, but he did not delve into it, thinking about his thoughts today, so he asked: "You are twelve years old this year, how have you learned?" ”

Fu Quan bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you for my uncle's care, my little nephew read the "Book of Filial Piety" at the age of five, the "Analects" at the age of seven, the "Book of Songs" at the age of eight, the "Book of Songs" at the age of ten, and is now reading "Spring and Autumn". ”

"It's not bad, I'll take the school exam."

Fu Quan was slightly stunned, and joked that he had read a book, but no matter in his previous life or present life, he was not serious, and he passed the ordinary school examination in a fool's way, can he pass? But the matter has come to this point, the other party is the emperor, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "No".

"This plague is caused after the great flood, and you have written a poem in the great flood."

What the? Fu Quan's eyes widened wide, as if he didn't believe what he was hearing. Later, after a little thought, I was relieved, didn't Liu Hong, the historical Spirit Emperor, like poetry very much? It's normal for him to take the school poetry exam.

There was a search in his mind for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, pretending to think of it temporarily, and then saluted: "Little nephew has feelings, please listen to my uncle." ”

"Say it." Emperor Ling waved his hand and motioned to him, obviously not believing that this kid could make any good poems.

Fu Quan took a breath and shouted like a madman: "The Yellow River is coming west to break Kunlun, roaring thousands of miles to touch the Dragon Gate." The waves are surging, and Yao is groaning. Dayu is in charge of all rivers, and he doesn't peep at home. Killing the turbulent flood, Kyushu began silkworm hemp. The harm is gone, and the wind and sand are at a loss. was crazy and stupid, and he wanted to ridicule him in the morning. Others do not hesitate to stop their wives, and the public has no way to cross the river and cross it. The tiger can fight, the river is difficult to rely on, and the male fruit is drowned in the sea and the sea. There is a long whale with white teeth like a snow-capped mountain, and the public is hanging in the middle. Gong Hou was sad and didn't pay it back. ”

After shouting a poem, the whole hall was shocked!!!
