Chapter 131: The Edict
In April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling of Han died in this month, Cao Ju got the mansion sent by Dong Zhuo, and he was not polite, and moved in the next day, with Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Cao Peng, and Dong Zhuo sent over eight Xiliang beauties. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of the eight Xiliang beauties, Cao Ju rewarded Dian Wei, Hua Xiong and Cao Peng with one each, but Hua Xiong didn't want it, saying that his wife was a Xiliang beauty. Cao Ju immediately understood what Hua Xiong meant, and promised him with a smile that he would have to give him a Central Plains beauty in the future, and Hua Xiong immediately smiled.
There were six people left, Cao Ju sent two to Cao Cao and two to Cao Chun, but Cao Cao smiled and accepted, but Cao Chun returned the two as they were, saying that there was already a concubine with him.
can't send it out, Cao Ju can only stay by himself, after all, this mansion is not small, no matter what, there have to be a few maidservants to serve it.
Since ancient times, women have been men's playthings, especially in the war years, women are the way of war trophies, these eight Xiliang beauties, half of them have become men's playthings, and half have become handmaidens, which is already a good result.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was a little addicted to the Taiwei, and in the month of his death, he dismissed the Taiwei Ma Riyan again, worshiped Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, as the Taiwei, and named the Marquis of Rongqiu.
Ma Riyan was directly promoted from the captain of the shooting sound to the captain by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in July last year, and the whole country was really shaken at that time.
What is the captain of the shooting sound, he is one of the five captains of the Northern Army, and he is at the same level as Cao Ju, the captain of the tuncai.
The rank of military attaché in the Han Dynasty was divided into three levels: general, lieutenant general, and lieutenant. Since generals are not often placed, and when there is a war, they are called the generals who command the troops, so the highest official position that ordinary military attaches can obtain in peacetime is Zhonglang General.
The Zhonglang general is equivalent to the civil official Jiuqing, and the general is equivalent to the three dukes, so Ma Riyan directly became the chief lieutenant of the three dukes from the captain of the shooting sound, although he was also promoted by two levels, but it was much more powerful than Cao Ju's two levels of promotion. Moreover, the lieutenant is the middle class of military attachés, and the lieutenant is the head of the civil officials, and it is the first case in the Han Dynasty that the captain directly becomes the lieutenant.
Ma Riyan is the descendant of Ma Yuan, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the grandson of the famous scholar Ma Rong, and the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, all of whom are disciples of Ma Rong.
Ma Riyan is different from Ma Teng, Ma Riyan is indeed the descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, and Ma Teng is only rumored to be a descendant of Ma Yuan, just like Liu Bei's Zhongshan King Jingwang, there is no way to study and is not sure.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is not as good as a day, his body has long been sick, optimistic about the day of the parade, got up early in the morning, braved the cold wind to ride a horse, and watched the salvo battle under the big canopy for four hours in a row, and returned to the palace to get sick.
In the next few days, Emperor Ling of Han dragged his sick body and summoned generals from all sides non-stop, and for several days, he concentrated and racked his brains, and the illness became more and more serious, and later he coughed up blood.
The imperial doctor's medicine made him repeatedly excited, pampering the palace maid, and his sick body was naturally getting weaker and weaker, if it weren't for the fact that he had not yet established a prince, Emperor Han Ling would have died.
Empress He also knew that Emperor Han Ling's time was running out, and urged him again and again to quickly appoint Liu Bian as the crown prince.
Queen He's height is seven feet more than an inch, in the late Han Dynasty, where the general height is far inferior to modern people, Queen He's height is definitely the tallest among women, because one foot in the Han Dynasty is equivalent to 23.75 centimeters now, and seven feet and one inch is almost one meter sixty-nine, which is half a head higher than Emperor Han Ling.
Maybe it's because of the longing for Wang Meiren, or maybe it's because he thinks that Liu Bian is "frivolous, has no prestige, and is not suitable to be the master", Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wanted to make Liu Xie the emperor, but Liu Bian was the eldest son, and the general He Jin was also in a high position, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not dare to act rashly, and the establishment of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army was to control He Jin's military power.
However, now that his time is running out, Emperor Han Ling did not dare to drag it out any longer, so he reluctantly drank another bowl of decoction, and then took advantage of the strength of the medicine to "royal" a palace maid (at this time, only the palace maid was on top of him), after Emperor Han Ling saw that Empress He's henchmen were not there, so he asked a small yellow door to go to Changle Palace to invite Empress Dowager Dong over.
Empress Dowager Dong is the biological mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, after Wang Meiren was killed by Empress He, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty handed over Liu Xie to Changle Palace and let the Empress Dowager Dong raise her for nine years. Today, she was suddenly invited by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Dong sensitively guessed that it was a major event of "Lichu", so she took Liu Xie and took a five-color car together to go to the Nangong Jiade Palace.
The Eastern Han Dynasty is divided into the north and south palaces, and most of the emperors in the south palace hold ceremonies and visit the court, but because the successive generations of emperors are young, the queen mother listens to the government, so many government affairs are handled in the north palace.
Nangong has four gates, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Canglong and White Tiger, which are quite majestic and magnificent, and can be seen dozens of miles away. Empress Dowager Dong's carriage entered from the Xuanwu Gate, and then passed through the Jiade Gate and entered the Jiade Palace. Because it was night, the light was dim, and the Empress Dowager Dong came by light car, without a French driver, so she did not alarm Queen He.
When the mother and son saw each other, they cried bitterly, and when Emperor Han Ling saw Liu Xie again, he had a strength from nowhere, and hugged Liu Xie, who was still timid to him, in his arms, and his heart was even more determined to pass on the idea of Liu Xie. So, Emperor Ling of Han wrote a posthumous photo on the sickbed and handed it to the Empress Dowager Dong, asking her to go to Jian Shuo immediately to discuss the matter.
Back in the North Palace, Empress Dowager Dong's first reaction was to discuss important matters with her brother Dong Chong, but Dong Chong was a hussar general, although he was in the Sili area, but he was outside the garrison city, and once he was recalled, he would inevitably alarm He Jin's people, so Empress Dowager Dong had to follow Emperor Han Ling's instructions and send Xiaohuangmen to Jian Shuo to discuss.
Jian Shuo is a yellow gate, he should have lived in the palace, and usually stayed in the West Garden, but tonight he went to Bao Hong's mansion to eat and drink, and he didn't come back until the third watch.
Hearing that the Empress Dowager Dong had summoned him, Jian Shuo did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to Changle Palace, and saw the "edict" presented by the Empress Dowager Dong, and immediately woke up.
Jian Shuo's mind is very clear, and he must first control the troops in the palace, which are the Yulin Army and the Jingshi Praetorian Guard. Although Jian Shuo is already a captain of the upper army, he has 7,000 people under his command, and is supported by Bao Hong, the captain of the lower military academy, Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, and Xia Mou, the left captain, and others, with a total of 11,000 troops.
However, Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, who is basically the deputy commander of the New Army, Zhao Rong, the left lieutenant of the auxiliary army, and Chun Yuqiong, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, and Cao Cao, the lieutenant of the canonical military academy who has an unpredictable attitude, are all biased towards He Jin. In addition, many generals in the Sili area obeyed He Jin's orders, and once they fought, Jian Shuo might not be able to gain the upper hand......
