63 Liu Hong's Hunting (I)
Through the return of the intelligence department, Liu Hong's strategy during this period of time has not had much effect. Although he was having fun all day and didn't care about the government, Dou Wu seemed to be determined to abolish him.
Although Liu Hong's idea of benefiting from the fishing industry is not easy to realize, but during this period of time, the effect of favoring the eunuchs has been revealed. Through Liu Hong's support, whether overt or covert, the eunuchs and their relatives were inseparable, and the eunuchs' power even gained the upper hand for a time during this period.
This incident made Dou Wu feel that if he wanted to abolish Liu Hong, he must first get rid of the eunuchs, otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
"What, Dou Wu has secretly sent people to transfer troops to Beijing?" Looking at the information sent by Zhang Jun, Liu Hong was stunned for a while. "Privately transferring the army, this is a big crime of complicity, it seems that Dou Wu is really open to the devil this time."
"During this period, the local army was not strong. It's just that the places are too guarded, and they are in charge of a little poor army. Now Dou Wu, even this little army has to be mobilized, I don't know if he is afraid of using the army in Beijing to startle the snake, or do he want to press all his strength and make a final decision? ”
Liu Hong pondered for a long time, but he didn't figure out Dou Wu's thoughts. But no matter what, Liu Hong's opportunity can be regarded as coming. This is a real crime, even if he uses this to take down Dou Wu and them, no one will dare to say anything.
"It's better to hide behind, it's much easier for a fisherman to profit than to go into battle shirtless."
Thinking of this, Liu Hong asked people to spread Dou Wu's plan outside. Such an important matter, if the eunuch knew about it, it would definitely be lively. And he will be able to watch the big drama start on the side.
"Dou Wu is going to take risks, and the troops he transferred will definitely not take much time to get to the capital. In this case, there will not be much time left for the eunuch to react. If I were still in the palace, such an urgent situation would inevitably be taken advantage of by the eunuch who jumped over the wall in a hurry, and let me get involved in this matter directly, thus destroying my plan to make a profit. Liu Hong's eyes rolled and he thought to himself, "I can't be provoked, can't I hide?" Master, I won't be in the capital to play with you, I'll go directly to Guangchengyuan to hunt. ”
Although it is spring, the season for all things to mate and reproduce, hunting is generally forbidden at this time. But the ban on spring hunting is not absolute. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked spring hunting, and held it once every now and then. So Liu Hong wants to spring hunt, which is not a big deal.
The emperor wants to hunt, it is not a simple matter, it takes a long time to prepare. Liu Hong has no time to wait, his hunting this time is purely to "escape". Therefore, early the next morning, Liu Hong left all the ministers and the ruling Jinwu who was supposed to accompany him in Beijing to deal with state affairs. But he led the dog, carried the eagle, and took his little Yulin army, and hurriedly set off to hunt in Guangchengyuan.
Because Liu Hong came in a hurry, the people in Guangchengyuan were caught off guard. made Liu Hong come here to take a look, this Guangcheng Garden, which was specially used for the emperor's hunting, not only looked very dilapidated. Due to the fact that no one has come to hunt for a long time, even many palaces have fallen into disrepair.
But think about it, the treasury is so poor that even the palace can't afford to repair, how can you take care of the paddock that is not needed a few times a year.
"Alas, it seems that this is the treatment of the kings of the last days!"
In other people's royal hunting grounds, in order to protect the safety of the emperor, there are special people to drive away the fierce beasts in the forest. In order to allow the emperor to have enough prey, there will also be special people to domesticate all kinds of rare birds and beasts. But now Guangchengyuan, not to mention the rare birds and beasts specially domesticated, is not a lot of prey, no wonder Liu Hong sighed.
Seeing all this, Liu Hong couldn't help but think of the Shanglin Garden expanded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. A garden like that is called a royal paddock.
According to records, Shanglin Yuan was expanded on the site of an old garden in the Qin Dynasty. It spans Chang'an, Xianyang, Zhouzhi, Huxian, Lantian five counties and counties, 300 miles in length and width, and there are Ba, Production, Jing, Wei, Feng, Pickaxe, Prison, Orange Eight Waters in and out of it. Not only the natural scenery is beautiful, but also a variety of gorgeous palace groups are distributed among them.
The famous ones are the Thirty-six Gardens, the Twelve Palaces and the Thirty-five Temples. Among the 36 gardens, there is Yichun Garden for recreation, Yusu Garden for royal people to stay overnight, Sixian Garden and Bowang Garden for the prince to attract guests.
In Shanglin Garden, there are not only large palace city Jianzhang Palace, but also some palace and view buildings with different purposes, such as Xuanqu Palace where music is played and sung; Dog Tai Palace, dog watch, horse walking view, fish and bird view, dog view, horse view, fish and bird view; raising and watching elephants, the spectacle of white deer, the view of white deer; the grape palace that introduces grapes from the Western Regions and the Fuli palace that raises exotic flowers and trees in the south, such as calamus, ginger, cinnamon, longan, lychee, betel nut, olive, citrus, etc.; The performance venue is optimistic; the cocoon view of silkworm raising; There are also Chengguang Palace, Chuyuan Palace, Yanglu Temple, Yangde Temple, Dingjiao Temple, Sanjue Temple, etc.
But it's a pity that such a good royal garden was destroyed in the war.
For not being able to inherit such a good garden, Liu Hong is quite a pity. He decided that when he took power, if he had the chance, he would definitely build a paddock that was better than Shanglin Yuan.
Although Liu Hong came out to "escape", after all, this was the first time he had hunted in his two lives, and he didn't want to be unable to hunt a single prey. Since there was not much prey on the periphery, they went deeper into the woods.
The emperor's hunting, of course, was unusual, and for the emperor's safety, the soldiers who came with him had to expel the beast first. In order to ensure that the emperor can catch the prey, the soldiers have to fence the prey and wait for the emperor to fight, so even if Liu Hong is a rookie in hunting, his gains are not small.
Especially his two hounds and the eagle, they are definitely good helpers for hunters. Small prey such as rabbits and pheasants, Liu Hong didn't have to bother at all, as long as he waved his hand, and after a while, either the hound grabbed it, or the eagle caught it.
Liu Hong rode on a horse, supported the eagle Huanhuan on his shoulder, and followed by his two beloved hounds, Laifu and Wangcai, and began to wander around the mountains and forests.
Although Liu Hong's hunting skills are not very good, his spirit is quite high, and he always wants to hunt a fierce beast to have a good time. Although I have made a lot of rabbits and pheasants now, it is not exciting to play these things at all.
Just as Liu Hong was pondering, he suddenly found a sika deer in front of him. Although this thing is not a beast, it is a large animal, much stronger than those rabbits and pheasants. Especially the deer whip, which is an aphrodisiac baby, if you eat more, maybe you can make his "capital" stronger in advance.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong immediately opened his bow and arrow, aiming at the sika deer is arrow.
