Chapter 41 Twenty Years of Prosperity, Talking to the Mountain Ghost 1)
Sure enough, as Xun Yan expected, three days later, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, asked the eunuch to bring his edict to Xun Mansion to announce that Chen Xiu would enter the palace to face the saint.
"Chen Gongzi, Your Majesty asked our family to invite Chen Gongzi into the palace."
"I don't know who my father-in-law is?"
"Our father-in-law is Zhao Changshou."
Hearing this, Chen Xiu was silent for a while, Zhao Changshi is not Zhao Zhong, speaking of Zhao Zhong, this person is amazing, when Emperor Huan was in power, it was just a small yellow door, and when today's son Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, because of the meritorious service of protecting the succession of the Son of Heaven, when Liu Hong, the son of heaven, often introduced Zhao Zhong to others, he said that Zhao Zhong was my mother.
Of course, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, favored Zhao Zhong not only like this, in the eighth year of Yanxi, he was deposed as the Marquis of Guannei, and he rented a thousand Hu in this county. When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were promoted to Zhongchang and were named liehous.
In the first year of Xiping, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhao Zhong to preside over the court meeting, and hundreds of officials looked at the middle officials, but no one was willing to speak for a long time.
Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, who also served as the Great Changqiu, can be said to have acted recklessly with the connivance of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, and caused chaos to the dynasty.
Many loyal and courageous ministers were framed to death by Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang and others after just a few words, and then even so, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, only slightly reprimanded Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and others, and did not hold them accountable.
The luck of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years was finally wiped out at the hands of this uncle and nephew.
Zhao Zhong's righteous son Zhao Rang is also the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, originally he still wanted to make some extra money and collect some benefits, but when he left the palace, his stepfather repeatedly told him that he must not receive a little benefit, otherwise he would come back and cripple his leg and cut off the father-son relationship with him.
His biggest backers all said this, if Zhao Rang dared to receive a little more benefits, his heart would really be blinded by lard.
can stand out among many eunuchs and become Zhao Zhong's righteous son, Zhao Rang is not only obedient, but also that clever, if it weren't for his cleverness, how would Zhao Zhong look at him.
In the palace, there are countless obedient eunuchs, why does he fall in love with Zhao Rang, is it not because Zhao Rang has a cleverness that others do not have.
If it were usual, Zhao Rang would still turn a blind eye to Zhao Rang, after all, most of the benefits that Zhao Rang received would still fall into his own hands.
But for Chen Xiu, Zhao Zhong thinks more, not only because of Chen Xiu's amazing performance in He Fuzhong, which led to his current fame.
In fact, Zhao Zhong values the people behind Chen Xiu more, or the family standing behind Chen Xiu.
In fact, it is not only Zhao Zhong who thinks like this, but even the Son of Heaven Liu Hong also thinks like this, but relatively speaking, the Son of Heaven Liu Hong thinks more far-reaching.
Otherwise, even if a common person becomes famous in one fell swoop, so what! What is the value of being summoned by his Son of Heaven himself?
Following behind Zhao Rang, Chen Xiu quickly turned his brain, thinking about Xun Yan's words, and the purpose of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, and then combined with the deeds of Liu Hong that he knew in later generations, and soon Chen Xiu smiled slightly, and he was already confident and understood what Liu Hong's purpose was.
I have to say that Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, is also a figure, maybe he has been the emperor for a long time, so this emperor's mental skill is also extremely powerful.
You must know that on September 7 of the first year of Jianning, there was a coup d'état, known as the September Xinhai coup d'état, Liu Hong could not have ascended the throne as the emperor, but after the death of Emperor Huan, the relatives led by the Empress Dowager Dou and the general Dou Wu wanted to continue to control the government, so they chose Liu Hong, who was only eleven years old, as the son of heaven.
But in August of the first year of Jianning, the general Dou Wu and the Taifu Lu Fan conspired to get rid of the eunuch Wang Pu Cao Jie and others, but no matter how careful the plan was, there would eventually be a day when it was leaked, and on September 7, Dou Wu returned home to rest, and Yin Xun's secret letter to Dou Wu was obtained by Changle Wuguan Shi Zhu Yu, and the matter was leaked.
Zhu Yu informed the eunuchs Wang Fu and Cao Jie of the matter, and the eunuchs made a bloody alliance and launched a coup d'état that night. It is known as the "September Xinhai Coup".
In the early morning of the next day, the eunuchs won a complete victory in the coup d'état, Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others were exterminated, and those who were not executed were exiled to Jiaozhou, and the Empress Dowager Dou was moved to live in Nangong Yuntai.
But there is one thing to know, if Liu Hong, the son of heaven, does not agree, how dare the eunuchs act, even if in order to save his life, Liu Hong does not nod, and it is inevitable to escape death if he succeeds in the end, but Cao Jie They have nothing to do, but instead of their relatives in charge of the government!
Liu Hong seems to be conniving at the eunuchs' misdeeds, but it is precisely because of the existence of the eunuchs that a balance is maintained between the three relatives and the family.
Once the three are balanced, his Liu Hong's attitude is particularly important! Who would dare to underestimate him Liu Hong.
In thinking, Chen Xiu followed Zhao Rang through one inspection after another, and finally came to the palace where Liu Hong lived.
Speaking of the palace of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty first established Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace on the basis of the Qin Dynasty, and after Liu Che, Emperor Wu, he built Jianzhang Palace, which was originally built by Emperor Wu for seeking immortals, and later became a place to raise beautiful women. Emperor Wu ordered that beauties under twenty and over fifteen in the Yan and Zhao regions be included in this palace, and those who have reached the age of thirty will be married, and the deceased will be replaced. By the time Emperor Zhao of the Western Han Dynasty became emperor, the kings of these two had different pursuits, so they also established palaces with their own characteristics, which I will not tell one by one here.
After arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital city was established in Luoyang, the palace was divided into the south palace and the north palace, which were located in the north and south of Luoyang City, and the middle distance was seven miles, and the two palaces were connected with the double road. In the recovering road, the emperor took the middle road, guarding the left and right, ten steps and one guard.
The main hall of the South Palace is the Deyang Palace, the hall is three zhang high, and His Majesty is one zhang high. The temple can accommodate 10,000 people. The hall is surrounded by pond water, jade steps and beams, the altar is made of grained stones, the walls are decorated with colorful paintings, and the golden pillars are carved with beautiful figures.
The Deyang Hall is tall and majestic, it is said that it is forty-three miles away from Luoyang Yanshi City, and you can see the Deyang Hall and the Vermilion Bird Que Yu Yu and the sky.
Outside the city of Luoyang, there are many gardens and views for the emperor to amuse. There are West Garden, Xianyang Garden, Xianming Garden, Lingkun Garden, etc. Among them, the West Garden is the largest, and the amusement facilities are the most complete.
However, during the reign of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, because of his delay in yin music, he established the East and West Two Gardens, and built ten naked tour halls in the West Garden, and the front steps of the museum were covered with green moss, and the hall was surrounded by canal water. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty selected beauties over the age of fourteen and under the age of eighteen to have a banquet at the night of the naked tour curator. daytime
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty took a boat to wander in the water of the canal around the museum, and chose the palace maid to paddle for the white skin and light body, it was the height of summer, the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty deliberately knocked over the boat, and the palace maids fell into the water one after another, and he laughed on the side to watch the jade skin of the palace maids in the water.
The Son of Heaven is endlessly involved in the amusements in the West Garden. Once wanted to ride a donkey for fun, so the four white donkeys were driven by one, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty rode around with the four donkey carts, and was very happy in the car.
The north and south palaces, the north palace is where the east and west two gardens are located, and it is an entertainment venue, while the south palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven to deal with the affairs of the court, and Chen Xiu was taken to the south palace by Zhao Rang, waiting for the summons of Liu Hong, the son of heaven.
