Chapter 115: The Joy of the Jade Garden
Wu Taiwei did everything possible to please
Wang joined the army for the first time
After the dispersal of the dynasty on this day, Han Yanxuan had just sat down in the county king's mansion, and the long history of Shi Dazu reported: Captain Wu of the Infantry Army Division asked to see him.
The so-called Wu Taiwei is Wu Xi, the deputy commander of the Infantry Division of the Guard, and the Tai Lieutenant. He is the grandson of King Wu Lan and the core figure of today's Wu Jiajun. This person, in the summer of the fifth year of Shaoxi (1194), was transferred back from the Jiankang capital to the imperial tomb, promoted to the deputy envoy of the mountain tomb, and built a mausoleum for the emperor Zhao Dan.
The Imperial Mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty is in today's Gaobu Town, Shaoxing City. The whole mausoleum area is located in the south and faces the north, which means missing the north and facing the ancestors. The landscape here blends and the scenery is picturesque. In the distance, the east is adjacent to Qinglong Mountain, the south is connected to Ziyun Mountain, the west is close to Wuhu Ridge, and the north is close to Wulian Mountain, which constitutes the feng shui pattern of the left Qinglong, the right white tiger, the front Vermilion Bird, and the rear Xuanwu, as if the four sides are sacred, and the Imperial Mausoleum is guarded. The terrain is slightly lower in the southeast and slightly higher in the northwest, and the clear stream originates from the Darenlong Mountain in the southeast and winds along the imperial tomb to the west.
The mausoleums of several emperors have their own names, Gaozong's is called Yongsi Mausoleum, Xiaozong's is called Yongfu Mausoleum, and Guangzong's is also called Yongchong Mausoleum with Wu Xi leading soldiers.
Wu Xi stayed in the Shaoxing Palace Mountain Mausoleum District for three years, and the imperial court regarded him as meritorious and was promoted to Tai Lieutenant. By the time of this dynasty, the Taiwei was already a vacant position, and it belonged to the highest rank of military attaché.
After returning to the capital, this Taiwei Wu took the initiative to approach and often walked around the Han Mansion. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Wu Bazi's little bit of caution, how could he escape Lord Han's eyes. Also, he was born in a family of military generals, and he became a general in his thirties, which is also a rare handsome talent. made a favor and added him to the deputy commander of the Infantry Division of the Guard, making him a veritable commander of the forbidden army.
Sure enough, Wu Xi, who was not tall and sturdy, came in, and Han Yanxuan raised his head and said hello:
In the end, he is a great general, and he walks with a tiger.
Wu Xi had a smile on his face, the scar in the middle of his left cheek was beating, and he clenched his fists:
The prince of the county is good, the last general Wu Xi is polite.
Captain, please be seated.
The messenger brought tea, and Han Yanxuan came over and sat down together.
The day before yesterday, the dog got married, so that the prince of the county bothered, you and Mrs. Changle came in person, so that the little family was grateful.
Wu Xi's eldest son, Wu Huai, is no longer in the army, and Enyin is a civil official, and his sons and daughters are Guo Ren, the deputy capital of Jiankang. It's interesting to think about it, since the ancestors, the Wu and Guo families have been at odds. Back then, when the Wu Jue and Wu Ling brothers rose in Sichuan, the Guo family and the Yang family also followed. After that, Wu Ling was appointed as the commander of Xingzhou, and Guo Jing was the commander of Xingyuan Mansion. By the third generation, it gradually reconciled.
Taiwei doesn't have to be polite, is the courtesy still exchanged, at a young age, it is gratifying to hug his grandson.
Holding grandchildren still doesn't know the year of the monkey. The last general knows that the prince of the county has a lot of opportunities and is busy with government affairs, so he came here today to ask the prince of the county to relax and rest.
Oh, what's the way to relax?
On this holiday, the last will arrange several activities in Yujin Garden, such as horseback riding and archery, and invite the king to participate, and when the time comes, you are guaranteed to have a good time.
Yujin Garden is also a royal garden, located at the foot of Yuhuang Mountain in the south of West Lake, slightly similar in scale to Tokyo Yujin Garden, mainly used for amusement and shooting.
Han Yanxuan is no stranger to this garden full of idyllic scenery and wilderness interest. I remember the first time, it was Emperor Xiaozong who accompanied Emperor Gaozong to play and feast here, it was early winter, the cold wind was blowing, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and many trees had fallen their leaves, giving people a sense of desolation. Fortunately, the place is wide, and it is indeed a good place for running horses and archery.
Guangzong Dynasty came twice, and Emperor Zhao Kuo only came once after he ascended the throne.
After breakfast, sitting in the living room and chatting with the ninth brother, the family came to report:
Wu Taiwei led people to wait in front of the mansion, and after Su Shicheng, Zhou Yunluan, and Han Xianxuan arrived, he took the four ladies with flowers and two concubines to go out. Wu Xi bowed to greet him, invited everyone into the sedan chair, and set off in a majestic manner.
When he arrived at Yujin Garden, he got out of the sedan chair and walked out, Han Yanxuan raised his eyes and saw that the formation was not small:
Hundreds of soldiers, dressed in military armor and armed with spears, lined up in a neat line, chanting:
The king of the county is good, the king of the county is good.
When he was surprised, he suddenly heard a cannon shot, and then it sounded again, a total of nine sounds. Blamed:
What are you doing, boy, what kind of salute?
The king of the county is the first product of the dynasty, the head of a hundred officials, of course, he has to make some movements.
Hearing the greeting, I took a closer look, and almost all the important civil and military officials of the imperial court were present.
Oh, you, Taiwei Wu, have a lot of ability, and you have all called the ministers, the ministers, the ministers, and the soldiers and horses.
Where, where, everyone heard that the king of the county was coming in person, and they were willing to come and cheer you on. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhang to participate in politics.
After everyone is seated, the show begins.
On the fifty-zhang square racetrack, teams of two, ten groups of young warriors wrestled and wrestled, one fell, admitted defeat, and the rest continued until the end.
Then there is a sword competition, or a group of two, divided into ten groups, attacking on foot, swords and swords, and sonorous sounds. This is a performance, you come and go, one move and one style, point to point, and it has been playing for half an hour.
Below is the horse race, each group of 10 people, riding horses around the garden horse track for 10 laps, the first to win. After the two groups came down, the civil and military officials who watched were a little jumpy.
Wu Xi asked: King Jun, do you want to try it?
Riding a horse and archery, dancing knives and guns, he is no stranger, when he was a child, the house also specially invited a master. However, I basically stopped playing in the past few years.
Wu Xi's method is to compare civil officials with civilian officials, military attaches to military attachés, and also divide ages, a group in their thirties, a group in their forties, and a group over fifty. Just run five laps.
In this way, Han Yanxuan was happy and willing to participate.
Wu Xi publicized and mobilized, and half of the officials participated. Han Yanxuan's middle-aged group has 12 civil officials and 9 military attachés.
As a result, in this civil official group, Han Yanxuan ran first, and he deliberately asked Wu Xi:
You didn't mean to let me.
Wu Xi hurriedly replied:
No, no, you're half a lap faster than the second, and the next few are so tired that you don't have anything to do.
The next group of military attaches is much faster than the civilian officials, the first is named Guo Ren, Han Yanxuan knows, is Wu Xi's sons and daughters, and he is in charge of Jiangzhou.
Next up is archery. The group performance was followed by an interaction of officials.
In the military attache archery competition, there was a man who was nearly forty years old, with great arm strength, and opened a two-stone bow, and hit four of the five arrows. Impressed Han.
When asked, this person introduced himself, Zhenjiang Wufeng Army commanded Wang Huangbin.
What is the place of people?
The last general will be from Jingzhou, Hubei.
Han patted it, don't worry, I'll need you soon.
Wang, willing to charge for the prince of the county.
The luncheon was arranged at Yujin Garden. During this period, the traditional game of banquet shooting was played. The gameplay is also usual: use a special bamboo arrow as a shooting tool, 20 meters away, place five open wine bottles, aim and throw, one of the three is the winner, the one who does not win will be punished with wine, and the wine in the cup can be drunk by the respected.
At the same time, wonderful programs were staged on the stage. Mrs. Wang Fubin accompanied the flowers and the ladies into another hall, where pastries, fruits and vegetables were arranged, singing and dancing were arranged, and puppet shows and storytelling were arranged.
