Chapter 2 Days and Nights in Daming Palace II

After a while, Ling'er came in with washing water and toiletries, and Li Bao put down his thoughts. Washing your face and brushing your teeth, the toiletries at this time are still relatively advanced, willow branches and green salt, after all, it is royal.

But it is not very convenient to use, you need to bite the willow branch with your teeth first, and clean your teeth with a willow branch dipped in green salt, of course, the work of biting the willow branch does not need him to do, he has his own beauty, his mother does it, but the brushing of his teeth still has to do it himself, the willow branch is a little bitter, the taste of this set of tools is definitely not comparable to the toothbrush and toothpaste of later generations, but it has been used to it for so many years.

After washing, Li Bao began to prepare to go out for exercise. When he got up and went out of the dormitory to the palace, a white-faced little eunuch stopped him, "Liulang got up, but he wants to go out to exercise?" Li Bao smiled and said to him: "Good morning, Hu San'er, it's time for morning exercises, let's go." Xiao Huangmen replied with a smile: "No, dare to ask Lang Jun what he wants to eat for breakfast today, and the slave maid will ask the cook to prepare." Li Bao groaned, "It's still soy milk fritters." ”

Li Bao came to the Tang Dynasty and found that the food in the Tang Dynasty was still relatively scarce compared to later generations, and the fritters that later generations were accustomed to had not yet been invented, so he had to make them himself. Fortunately, these foods are not complicated. The otaku of later generations is actually a foodie, and of course, the tastes of the people around him are becoming more and more tricky. He slowly accepted all kinds of fresh ideas and various foods of his master, and formed a mindset of "Rokuro seems to have been born to understand this".

Hu San'er is Li Bao's personal attendant, and the children of the royal family are all served by personal servants. Li Bao's personal palace maid is Ling'er, she is a native of Hedong, her maiden name is Cui, it is said that the family suffered a military disaster, there is no family anymore, and she was assigned to take care of Li Bao two years ago.

The eunuch is Hu San'er, his original name is Hu Sanbao, the third in line, a native of Fuzhou, because his family is poor, and Fuzhou is the hometown of famous eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty. I am thirteen years old this year, and I followed Li Bao to serve five years ago, because there are more royal rules, and the relationship between the princes is not as close as that of the folk brothers, so sending some small eunuchs is also to be a playmate for the princes.

The names between acquaintances in the Tang Dynasty are all surnames plus rankings, because of the young age, so Li Bao called Hu Sanbao Hu San'er, which is very similar to the title of later generations, Hu San'er has been with Li Bao for a long time, and he can also feel the intimacy and casualness between the master and himself from this title, so he is also used to the same because of Li Bao, and the people who are familiar with him also call him Hu San'er.

Familiar with Li Bao's habit of morning practice, Hu San'er also has to follow the escort to accompany him, if Li Bao is allowed to go out for morning exercise, he can't afford an accident. There are other palace people to arrange breakfast.

Nowadays, there are three major inner palace groups in Chang'an City, Daming Palace and Taiji Palace, as well as Xingqing Palace, which was rebuilt from the former residence of Tang Xuanzong. According to the geographical location, Taiji Palace is the West Da Nei, Daming Palace is the East Da Nei, and Xingqing Palace is the South Da Nei.

Most of the emperors after Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lived in the Daming Palace, so the Daming Palace was the real center of power in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty Xuanzong Dynasty, it has been customary: the princes and princesses who have not been crowned kings have followed the emperor to live in the palace. Once the prince is crowned king, he must move to the sixteen princes' mansions to live. Because he has not yet been crowned king, Li Bao can live in the Daming Palace.

Daming Palace is divided into three, with three halls as the central axis. The first is mainly the Hanyuan Palace, and there are some official offices as the area of the official court meeting, the second is the Xuanzheng Palace, which is where the emperor deals with daily government affairs, and the third is mainly the Zichen Palace, which is where the emperor's inner garden is located. It is also the main residential area and living and entertainment area of the emperor, concubines, princes and princesses.

There is still a difference between the Jinluan Palace where Li Bao lives and the Jinluan Palace in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Jinluan Palace is still an ordinary palace. At that time, the place where Xuanzong Fuqin composed was quiet and elegant, not far from the Taiye Pool.

On the morning of the beginning of November in the twelfth year of Datang Xiantong, the air by the lake still contained humid moisture, and the temperature was somewhat cold. Out of the palace gate, Li Baoshen took a deep breath and jogged along the Taiye Pool with Hu Sanbao.

Li Bao jogged three laps along this large artificial lake every day, in the mist of the early morning, there were relatively few people in the Daming Palace, in this palace, too strange actions would definitely alarm some people with ulterior motives, so he got up early every day and went for a morning run at this time when the palace people had the least activity. There are few people who can pay attention to him at this hour, and even if someone occasionally sees it, they will only think it is weird, and they will not think of anything else. In addition, after a long time, the palace people will turn a blind eye and see no wonder.

Sometimes, when he could meet one or two palace people, Li Bao would smile and nod to them, and the palace people would also be grateful for the kindness expressed by this strange prince who got up early and ran in the morning every day. After running around the Taiye Pool for three laps for almost five kilometers, this exercise mileage should be sufficient for Li Bao's master and servant. From the beginning of running panting like a cow to the current calm and relaxed, unremitting years of exercise, Li Bao and Hu Sanbao's physique have been greatly enhanced.

It took about half an hour to finish the morning run, and when I returned to the Jinluan Palace, it was already more than five o'clock according to the time of the later generations, and the sky in Chang'an City was not yet bright, so Li Bao went to the small garden in the hall to play a set of Tai Chi.

This set of boxing is the later Li Bao in college, in order to take credits, at that time for the exam, temporary assault, practiced for a semester, to this time and space, Li Bao five years ago thought that in order to deal with the future crisis, to start acting, so began to exercise every day to strengthen the body. Running can exercise the body, but in this era of cold weapons, personal martial arts at critical moments is precisely the capital to save life.

This kind of boxing has also been simplified in later generations, and compared with the magic skills in martial arts novels, it is tantamount to a fantasy. In a real sense, Li Bao doesn't have much hope for how lethal this boxing technique can be, but it's better than nothing. The so-called "punch 10,000 times, muscles and bones are self-healthy".

In the past five years, Li Bao has also had a lot of understanding of this boxing method, from the stumbling and stumbling at the beginning of your boxing to now being proficient, his spirit and spirit have slowly changed because of this boxing method. In later generations, his personality is very frizzy, and since he practiced this set of boxing, his temperament has gradually calmed down a lot. Without the panic and anxiety when he first came to this time and space, in the calm and solemn atmosphere in this palace, he was able to endure in a low-key manner for ten years, and this set of kung fu also played a large role.

Li Bao returned to the dormitory after punching, Ling'er was doing some female red in the hall, his bed was neat, obviously Ling'er had been tidied up when Li Bao was practicing in the morning.

As soon as Li Bao came in, Ling'er hurriedly put down the work in his hand, blessed him, and then picked up the clothes that were ready for Li Bao on the couch and served him to change. After changing his clothes, he brought a basin of fresh water to serve Li Bao to wash his hands and face. These are the rules of the court, and Li Bao has long been used to them. After changing his clothes and washing his hands, Li Bao instructed Hu Sanbao to pass on breakfast.

When Li Bao had breakfast, Ling'er and Hu Sanbao also dined with him, at first they were very afraid of refusing, and then Li Bao had to exercise the authority of his master, so they dared to sit down. When eating, Li Bao always finds some topics to chat with them, and today is the same.

Li Bao ordered Hu Sanbao to find out some news, it was about the power of the eunuchs in the palace, because there was no word eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, Hu Sanbao did not understand what the eunuch meant at first. Later, after Li Bao's explanation, it turned out that the eunuch was a eunuch, and they were not surprised by Li Bao's new vocabulary.

In fact, Li Bao was also poisoned by the Qing court drama, and he took it for granted in the Tang Dynasty. As an official position, 'eunuch' only began to appear in the Liao Dynasty, and later became popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

When Li Bao started to eat, he asked Hu Lingbao about the task he had assigned, and as soon as Hu Sanbao heard Li Bao's question, he hurriedly got up and stood up and replied. Seeing Hu San'er standing straight, Li Bao hurriedly told him to sit down and reply, don't stand like this, so Hu Sanbao still sat down.

"Liulang asked the slave maid to go out to inquire about the most powerful eunuch in the palace now, oh no, eunuch, the slave and maid have inquired for a few days and finally figured it out."

"First of all, the most powerful is the 'four nobles', two lieutenants, Ximen Jixuan, lieutenant of the right army of the Shence Army, and at the same time the supervisor of the inner chamberlain, the Ximen family has been in a high position in the palace for several generations, and the official family of the outer dynasty is the same, there are also Ximen Kuangfan in the family, Ximen Junsui and others are all serving in the inner chamberlain."

"Liu Xingshen, the lieutenant of the Left Army, is also the supervisor of the inner chamberlain, and the Liu family is also the chief eunuch family in the palace, and there are Liu Jishu and others in the family who all hold positions in the inner chamberlain."

"The two privy envoys, the left privy envoy Yang Xuanyi, the Yang family is the same as the Ximen family, the Yang family and Yang Xuanji, Yang Xuanjian, Yang Fuguang, Yang Fugong, etc. are all holding high-ranking official positions inside and outside the court."

"The right privy envoy Han Xingyue also served as the supervisor of the inner chamberlain, and there are many children in the family who serve as various envoys in the palace, and the power is very powerful."

Hearing this, Li Bao couldn't help but ask: "How did the children of these eunuchs come to be, and how did they still become a family?" ”

Hu Sanbao replied: "The eunuchs in the palace will not have children when they enter the palace, but many eunuchs come together as brothers when they enter the palace, so they naturally have to unite together, and the eunuchs' fellow villagers will also form a group." A person will always promote the eunuchs who are good friends with him, and slowly form a party, and the big eunuchs will come to take refuge because of their high official positions, and the chief eunuchs will choose to be smart and sensible and think that they are righteous sons, so that they will become a succession of children, and the power will be passed on endlessly, and they will be a faction of their own. ”

After Li Bao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and muttered in a low voice: "Power is crazy, these eunuchs don't even want their ancestors for power!" ”

"Secondly, there is also a Xuanhui Yuan envoy in the palace, and the power of the envoy is also very great, Yang Gongqing is the envoy of the Southern Courtyard, and Wu Yipin is the envoy of the Northern Courtyard. The power of the southern court of the Xuanhui Yuan is greater than that of the northern court.

"It is said that when the envoy of Yang Gongqing had just ascended the throne of the current official family, the envoy of Yang Yuan ran to the political hall and named the two ministers of the political hall to kill them, but they were stopped by Yu Xianggong, which shows his great power."

"The real power eunuch in the palace also has Tian Xianxuan, the envoy of the gate, he holds the power to open and close the doors of the palace and has many children, and he is in charge of the right to enter and exit the palace, and even the minister of the political hall gives him three points. The above are basically the leaders of the powerful eunuchs in the palace. ”

After Hu Sanbao finished speaking, when Li Bao heard the envoy of the gate, his heart moved, and he asked, "What is the relationship between Tian Lingzi and the envoy of the Tianmen?" ”

"Tian Lingzi? The slave only knows that he is the righteous son of the envoy of the Tianqi Gate, and now he is the envoy of the Pony Fang, and his official position is not very high, and Rokuro knows this person? ”

Li Baoxin said: This dead eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people, the biggest eunuch in the Xizong Dynasty, is still a small character with little energy in the palace, do you want to get rid of him now?

Li Bao was taken aback by this sudden thought, although he was a little angry, he couldn't take such a risk, right? In fact, he still has a doubt in his heart, even if he really gets rid of Tian Lingzi, can he really change the history of the fall of the Tang Dynasty? Li Bao replied to himself, this is impossible, even if he gets rid of Tian Lingzi and then kills Huang Chao, the will of history cannot be changed, and Datang has reached this point where it is already difficult to return.

Tian Lingzi and Huang Chao were just a catalyst to accelerate the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. So I still honestly think of a way, how to get myself out of Chang'an City safely when the Tang Dynasty overturned.

Seeing Hu Sanbao's puzzled expression, Li Bao replied: "It's nothing, I don't know him, I just heard Tian Lingzi's name, and asked casually, let's eat." You have done a good job on the errand entrusted to you, and in order to reward you, I will make you a few new dishes for you to eat at noon today. ”

When Hu Sanbao and Ling'er heard this, they immediately smiled, Li Bao, the master, can always come up with a lot of novel dishes, which surprises them, Ling'er asked: "Liulang has researched a new dish again, what kind of dish is this time, it must be delicious!" Li Bao replied with a smile: "It must be delicious, don't worry, you little gluttonous cat." Hearing this, Ling'er shyly touched her jet-black bun.

After the three of them finished breakfast, Li Bao rinsed his mouth and went to the study to practice calligraphy. In the late Tang Dynasty, the royal family's education for the children of the royal family was basically a formality, but the education of calligraphy was very important, Li Bao practiced calligraphy is also very attentive, in this palace always have to find something to do to pass the time, Li Bao practiced calligraphy during the period, but also wrote "memoirs", both can practice words and recall a lot of things, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, the memories are the content of the afterlife, some recipes (a must for foodies). There are also things like the recipes of some divine weapons such as black, fire, and medicine that he saw on the forum in later generations, and Li Bao even remembered the structure diagram of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which was very important.

He remembered some time-traveling novels he read in later generations, in which the protagonists were "angry with the king" and shouted wildly, "Gunpowder in hand, I have it in the world", and after reading more of these things, he slowly remembered them. Of course, these are all theoretical things, if they are practiced, and when they develop their own little brother in the future, the life of our King Li Bao is very valuable, as the so-called "dead friends do not die poor way" How can you take risks in these things.

Li Bao practiced the popular Yan's regular script, after a few years of practice, the iron painting silver hook can not be said, but there is also a bit of taste, Li Bao is concentrating on practicing words, Ling'er ran in in a hurry, and his mouth was still shouting, "Liulang, Liulang Liang Aunt is here." "
