Chapter 290: A Marriage Incident That Goes Down in History

With the new Shaofu Fan Itguang taking office, the expansion project of Chang'an City was launched again, and the main road in Guanzhong was gradually completed, and the people could be seen working in Guanzhong almost every moment.

The clouds of war seemed to disappear overnight with the spring breeze blowing, the imperial court did not have the slightest preparation to start a war, the three princes and nine secretaries had to deal with daily government affairs as if nothing happened, and the emperor was busy building his Jianzhang Palace, as well as the reconstruction of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, and also took time to go to Lin Guang Palace to visit Mrs. Wei and the little princess on the grounds of meeting the Empress Dowager, and Chang'an was immersed in a peaceful atmosphere inside and outside.

But everyone knows that the war is not far away, especially the Huns won a big victory in the eastern steppe and drove the most difficult Xianbei people out of the deep mountains and old forests, and the Xiongnu royal cavalry with the power of the great victory went south to join the Zuoxian Wangbu to attack the Wuhuan people, and the Wuhuan people who were inferior to Xianbei could not withstand the onslaught of more than 300,000 Xiongnu troops at all, and almost did not do much resistance and fled eastward and disappeared into the dense forest.

The Huns defeated the old enemy who had been entangled for decades and had been unable to understand the relationship, perhaps with nearly 10,000 deaths was a high price, and the consumption of millions of cattle and sheep had a significant impact on the livestock and reserve military strength in the coming year, but all the efforts were worth it, the Huns needed two years to recover from the wounds of a full year of war, and it took five years or more for the defeated Xianbei and Wuhuan to recover.

In contrast, the Han Empire had a huge advantage, the Han army defeated the main force of the Xiongnu in the Battle of Yanmen, and the Battle of Yinshan recovered the Henan land lost at the end of the Qin Dynasty, so that the territory of the Han Empire was the same as that of the destroyed Great Qin Empire, thus sweeping away the haze of the Great Qin Empire entrenched on the heads of the Han people, and from this moment on. The Son of Heaven is qualified to imagine being a greater emperor than Qin Shi Huang.

The two battles caused slight losses to the main force of the Han army, and it took half a year to rest and basically restore morale. However, it was not so easy to continue fighting, and the annual replacement of new veterans in the northern and southern armies was inevitable. Even if there is no reluctance, it cannot destroy the tradition of changing blood within the Han army, and the wars from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period onwards are all rotational replacement of all soldiers, and there is no need and cannot become a pure recruitment system.

A change requires at least half a year to reorganize and recuperate, and the recruits dare to speak up when they have a certain quality, and those veterans will be transferred to the county soldiers or return to their hometowns to continue farming, they will be re-recruited for the Han army when needed, and the cost and efficiency of military training are relatively low, but the Han army can rely on this to maintain a strong hematopoietic function, and a fiasco can be another one. Again, the whole army is annihilated, and there is still the strength to fight again.

Sixty years ago, on Baishan Mountain, the Han army relied on the power of continuous re-fighting to persuade Mao Dun Shan Yu, forcing Mao Dun Shan Yu to agree to the tacit understanding of the alliance between the two sides on the ridiculous reason that Shan Yu Yan accepted bribes, and this tacit understanding finally gradually collapsed under the premise that the Han and Hungarian situations were reversed and the Han army had an absolute advantage.

At this point, both Han and Hungary are holding back a sullen development, at this time to talk about war is not the best time, it is better to put on a posture to consolidate the foundation of Guanzhong, Shaofu Fan Itguang and the big farmer Zhuang Qingzhai busy feet do not touch the ground. The two were very busy in order to complete the task discussed by the imperial court, and took advantage of the rare opportunity to rest, and the two took time out of their busy schedules to change into civilian clothes and go to the Pingyang Hou Mansion to visit the Pingyang Hou Cao.

Pingyang Hou Mansion. Cao Shi and Liu Wan's room.

"The spring breeze in February is like scissors, what is the above sentence called?" Cao Shi knocked on his head and smirked helplessly at his son: "I forgot." ”

Xiao Cao Xiang was amused by his father, and the two of them laughed in their faces. The angry Liu Wan snatched her son and rolled her eyes: "How can you be a father like you to teach your son to read some strange poems, how do I sound like the poor scholars on the streets of Chang'an." ”

"Huh. You can say that I can't read well, but I can't say that poetry is bad. These poems are wonderful, but I've forgotten them all. ”

"If you can't remember it, don't read it, a poem with less than half a sentence is not as good as the poor scholars." Liu Wan paused, handed her son to the servant girl who was waiting, and whispered in her ear: "Gentleman, have you heard?" Sima Xiangru, who wrote "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", hooked up with a Maoling woman from the upper clan, and turned his face and abandoned the daughter of the Zhuo family. ”

Cao Shi was stunned for a long time, and only remembered for a long time that there was Sima Xiangru, the legendary genius is not a handsome man who has no friends, and his wife Zhuo Wenjun is not a big beauty who has captivated the country and the city, the two of them are a literary young man and a literary young woman The BC version of the story, what is even more incredible is that the two are not young.

"Oh, you said that Sima Xiang, an old genius in his forties! I heard that his poems are well written. ”

"Yes, Sima Xiangru is the same age as Liu An, Marquis of Huainan, and his wife Zhuo Shi is thirty or eight years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and it is not easy for the couple to come together halfway." Liu Wan said.

Sima Xiangru was born in the first year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (179 years ago), Zhuo Wenjun was born in the fifth year of the first year (175 years ago), these two people are the same age as the group of princes of Wuying Qi, the former king of Huainan and the current Huainan Hou Liu An was also born in the same year, the couple's private meeting was the second year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (142 years ago), and it happened that year that Cao Shi was sick in bed in Pingyang Houguo and fell unconscious.

Push forward six years, this legendary couple was also in their thirties when they first met, and they were placed on the standard threshold of less than forty years of average life expectancy in BC, which can also be called the BC version of twilight love, even if it is a step back, it is also a love story of middle-aged literary and artistic women, and what is more interesting is that they are both halfway couples of the second marriage combination.

Looking at the background without looking at the era is really modern.

Everyone knows that Zhuo Wenjun is a widow, but few people know that Sima Xiangru also had a daughter-in-law before, he is like many literary and artistic young people who left his wife to go to Chang'an to try his luck, his luck is really good, he was able to step into Weiyang Palace to meet Emperor Han Jing, that was the fourth year of Emperor Han Jing (153 years ago), that year Sima Xiangru was twenty-six years old, young and full of spirit, thinking that he would be reused.

I didn't expect Emperor Jing of Han to dislike his frivolous demeanor, and even more hated the ornate and very empty poetry, and simply said a few words of encouragement to send him out, Zhou Yafu, who was the prime minister at the time, also hated Sima Xiangru who could only play tricks, so he was very tragically kicked out of the emperor's alternate Langguan sequence, and in Chang'an for a year, he was lucky to meet Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to come to the dynasty, Sima Xiangru was shocked by the huge pomp of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, so he did not hesitate to take refuge in Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and was reused, until the benefactor Liu Wu died of illness and went home unemployed.

I accidentally learned that my friend Linqiong County Ling Wang Ji had a wealthy businessman Zhuo Wangsun, and what was more interesting was that Zhuo Wangsun had a widowed only daughter who lived at home, Zhuo Wenjun, was a young woman in literature and art, so the two designed the trap to kill Zhuo Wangsun, which led to the love story between the middle-aged literary and the middle-aged literary woman.

After all, the emotional foundation of the husband and wife is very weak, and when Sima Xiangru is poor, he can't do without Zhuo Wenjun's long-term meal ticket, but people's fate is always so bizarre, in the first year of Jianyuan (141 years ago), the young son of heaven was sorting out the relics of the first emperor, and accidentally found the "Zi Xufu" in the pile of old papers, so he called Sima Xiangru, who was poor and went to sell wine, to Weiyang Palace as a lang official, so the life of this poor ghost literary and artistic middle-aged man changed.

Often in and out of the Royal Forbidden House to see delicate and beautiful beauties, Sima Xiangru's soul is impacted all the time, the delicate little beauties are like blooming flowers but can not be eaten, the anxious Sima Xiangru is eager to have a singing and crying love with the beauties and palace maids, as for Zhuo Wenjun, who stayed in Linqiong, sold wine to support his family, hoping that his lover would take her to Chang'an and the like...... Forget about it all.

But he never expected that within two years, Zhuo Wenjun followed her father Zhuo Wangsun to Chang'an City, but at that time, Sima Xiangru was fascinated by the flower street and willow lane, and he didn't notice that the old man and his wife came all the way to Chang'an City, and then the currency battle issued with five baht coins as the fuse index beat the wealthy businessmen to lose their armor, and Zhuo Wangsun's wealth almost went bankrupt, Zhuo Wenjun also temporarily extinguished the plan to find her husband, and wholeheartedly helped his father tide over the difficulties in his career.

Zhuo Wangsun was very fortunate to be appreciated by the Marquis of Pingyang, and was supported at the most difficult moment in his own career, the iron-smelting industry of the Zhuo family was comprehensively improved by the Pingyang Marquis at the cost of technology investment, and Zhuo Wangsun himself was also cited by the Marquis of Pingyang as the leader of the business group to rely on, Zhuo Wenjun was relieved to boldly go to find her husband Sima Xiangru, this time she was lucky to find her husband, unfortunately Sima Xiangru was entangled with several women.

The two have not been quiet in the past two years, it is said that Sima Xiangru is a very famous benefactor in Willow Lane, Huajie, and has been taken out of the hook bar by his wife Zhuo Wenjun several times to hurt his face.

On the big bed, Wei Junru was sleeping in the dark with her daughter Cao Xiang, the little girl was very energetic and looked around, looking at her father with wide eyes and curiosity, the naughty little Cao Xiang had endless energy, Liu Wan was not interested in playing with her son, and the maid took the little Cao Xiang to harm other maids.

Liu Wan covered her mouth and yawned: "The concubine always feels that Mrs. Zhuo is very pitiful, and the husband has found a seventeen-year-old girl, and I heard that the old girl's belly has been enlarged, and Mrs. Zhuo doesn't even have a child in her belly, it's really ......."

"I mean, don't you hint indiscriminately, okay?" Cao Shi covered his wife's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, fortunately, this stupid girl is sleeping, and fortunately, you said it, you really want to cause trouble if you change someone." ”

Liu Wan blinked and was dazed: "Huh? ”

Cao Shi whispered a few words in her ear, and she suddenly realized: "The gentleman has a lot of crooked thoughts, the concubine has never thought about such a complicated thing, do you men always think about this?" ”

"You see, Sima Xiangru and his wife Zhuo Wenjun's marriage case has something to say, there will definitely be people making a big fuss about it, let's watch the play honestly, don't intervene in it, be careful of being pulled out as a gunman."

Liu Wanxiu frowned slightly and had an uncomfortable expression: "I've been feeling unwell recently and don't want to go into the palace to see my mother, let's talk about it in a few days." (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
