Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the building complex of the palace is magnificent and vast, divided into two palaces in the north and south, connected by a long compound road, the two palaces face each other side by side, magnificent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The North Palace was the residence of the emperor's concubines. Entering from the South Palace, after passing through the Xuanwu Gate, you need to walk a long compound road, the towering huge palace walls on both sides cover the sky and the sun, if it is not noon, you can hardly see a trace of sunlight when standing here, the compound road is finished before coming to the towering Suzaku Gate, this is the place where the emperor often needs to pass through when entering and exiting, it is more noble than other gates, so when it was originally built, it was also built with extraordinary momentum, the city wall and the city gate alone are much taller than the other city gates, if the emperor occasionally has a whim, climb the city wall, the whole Han Palace can have a panoramic view.

Deyang Hall as the main hall of the North Palace, the building specifications are the first of the halls, the steps in front of the hall are as high as two zhang, the pattern is made of the flower bed stone, the white jade masonry is the step, the north and south are seven zhang wide, the east and west are nearly forty zhang long, it can accommodate the assembly of more than 10,000 people, stand under the steps in front of the hall and look up and marvel spontaneously.

Emperor Ling was disgusted with Queen He, so now even the sleeping palace is located in the Xuanming Hall of the North Palace, which is far away from the Changqiu Palace.

After bypassing the Deyang Palace, I saw the Xuanming Palace. At this time, there were excited shouts in the hall, and the four sides of a small box were full of eunuchs and palace maids. The inner Spirit Emperor Liu Hong and Hefei Hou Liu Shao were also there, they looked at the two crickets in the box with excited expressions, it turned out that they were actually fighting crickets!

"Bite it, good! Give me a hard bite! Among the crowd, especially the Spirit Emperor's voice was the loudest, and the flattering cheers of the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids continued. The sturdy, sallow cricket in the box is the one owned by Emperor Ling, it really lives up to expectations, it is very fierce, and the cricket owned by Liu Shao in Hefei has a broken foot.

"Yes..." As Emperor Ling's cricket flapped its wings and made a loud chirp, the eunuchs and palace maids let out a cheer, and Emperor Ling looked at Liu Shao proudly and said, "Haha! Hefei wait, how's that! My mighty general is amazing! You're the first one, so I'm going to find one that's a little more powerful. ”

Hefei Hou Liu Shao made a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty's mighty general is selected by Gonggong Jian thousands of people, a rare superlative, but the minister also wants to find one!" But where is it so easy to find! Now that this one is also scrapped, there is no more cricket that can be handled. ”

Since Liu Shao fled to the capital, he is a rare playmate in Liu Hong's eyes because he is good at meeting horses and deliberately approaching and currying favor with Emperor Ling. After a long time, they have gotten along for most of the year, and now they have become a confidant in Liu Hong's heart, and the favor is so thick that even the eunuchs are a little jealous.

Emperor Ling listened to Liu Shao's words of complaint, and his heart was very useful, he smiled and said: "You don't have to be discouraged when you wait for Hefei, otherwise, I still have a few crickets, although the appearance cannot be compared with my mighty general, but it is already very rare, you take it back, even if I compensate you." ”

Liu Shao listened to it and showed a look of surprise. Hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!" ”

Emperor Ling waved his hand indifferently, then stretched his waist and sighed: "Fighting crickets all day long, Father doesn't have anything new, it's really boring these days." ”

Liu Shao, who fell to the ground, stood up again, and when he heard the sigh of the Spirit Emperor, his spirit was shocked. Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's really not interesting to stay in this palace for a long time, and now on the east mountain outside the palace, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the beauty is not in full bloom!" Why not take a look? ”

"Looking at the flowers? I don't have any famous flowers in this imperial garden, why do I need to go outside the palace? Emperor Ling scoffed at Liu Shao's proposal.

Emperor Ling's lack of interest, Liu Shao was a little unexpected, he rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, don't you know, the big city is the day of the annual big market these days, merchants and celebrities from all over the world gather, there are more new things, we can also stop by to have a look!" ”

Liu Shao's proposal instantly made Emperor Ling's heart itch. This emperor has been doing it for a long time, although he is rich all over the world, but he is stuffy in the palace all day long, it is indeed a little boring, and the ten permanent servants led by Zhang Rang often talk about the sinister outside the palace in front of him, so Emperor Ling has been the emperor for so many years, except for those few special days every year, he has never gone out of the palace alone.

Emperor Ling was a little eager to try, and thought of Zhang Rang's usual words, and he was a little unsure whether to go or not, Liu Shao saw it in his eyes, his heart was as bright as a mirror, he took advantage of Zhang Rang's absence and continued to instigate: "Your Majesty, after this time, if you want to see it again, you have to wait a year, isn't it a pity?" As for safety, you can rest assured, whoever dares to mess around at the feet of the Son of Heaven, we will disguise ourselves again, and who will recognize it. ”

Liu Shao's persuasion was very effective, further dispelling Emperor Ling's concerns, and he stood up with an excited expression. Clapped his hands and laughed: "What Hefei Hou said is very reasonable. Then let's go and see. ”

Luoyang City, here is the starting point of the Eastern Han Dynasty Silk Road. These days are the days of the year when the great merchant groups from the Far West arrive in Luoyang, who have come through the vast desert and will spend nearly a month in Luoyang City, selling the goods they have brought from the West.

The degree of civilization of the Han Dynasty is the most brilliant existence in the whole world in this era. Even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were unscrupulous, but they could not stop the Western merchants from yearning for the place, bringing all kinds of treasures in exchange for their favorite luxuries: silk as thin as cicada's wings and fine porcelain.

In the eyes of the Han businessmen, these people are real people who are stupid and have a lot of money. So this time of year is one of the most lively days in Luoyang, businessmen from all over the world gather in Luoyang, all want to share this piece of cake.

The city is full of people, white-skinned and blue-eyed blonde merchants, many of whom can speak a few words of Chinese, and although the accent is a little strange, this does not prevent communication. On the bluestone-paved street, many artists are showing off their skills, attracting bursts of cheers from the crowd of onlookers. The dazzling array of goods is dazzling, and the sounds of selling and bargaining are everywhere.

In the crowd, Emperor Ling's entourage, disguised as ordinary merchants, shuttled among them, everything around made Emperor Lingdi feel interesting, and he even thought how interesting it would be if he could move these things outside the palace to the palace.

"The Emperor... Brother Huang, wait for me. ”

Emperor Ling was walking in a hurry, Liu Shao's physique was fat, and his steps were really a little unable to keep up, his originally somewhat pleasing face was sweaty and a little anxious. I wanted to stop the Spirit Emperor, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared at by the Spirit Emperor's personal guards.

"Asho! You're going to have to lose weight this time. Emperor Ling looked at Liu Shao's hard work, turned around and stopped to tease him.

Liu Shao came up and wiped the sweat from his face, and said a little breathlessly: "Brother Huang, it's been a morning!" Let's find a place to rest, I can't walk! I know that there is a place near here that not only has delicious food but also beautiful women, so are you interested in going and seeing it? ”

"Oh! It's such a good place? Then you lead the way. When Emperor Ling came out, he was curious about everything outside the palace, and he was also very interested when he heard Liu Shao's introduction.
