Chapter 208: Qilin Pavilion
At this time, it was already evening, the weather was still a little hot, and the afterglow of the setting sun was projected on Weiyang Palace, which was full of gold.
Gou Shen arrived at the bus door of Weiyang Palace, there was an inner attendant waiting to lead the way, Gou Shen followed all the way, seeing that this inner attendant was not very old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and there was no one around, Gou Shen opened his mouth and asked: "Dare to ask the inner attendant, the Son of Heaven does not know where to summon Gou Shen?" ”
After listening to Gou Shen's words, the chamberlain hurriedly bent down and said, "Your Majesty summoned Captain Huqiang in the Qilin Pavilion. ”
Gou Shen and this attendant had already walked outside the Xuanshu Palace, and Gou Shen looked in the direction of the Jinhua Palace, and said tentatively: "I don't know the waiter's surname?" Gou Shen was a lieutenant at the beginning, and he didn't understand the rules and things in the palace at all, and he was tired of teaching and carrying one or two. ”
Seeing that Gou Shen was polite to him, the chamberlain bowed his head again when he heard it, looking embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "The school captain is prestigious, and the slave also knows the way, so he doesn't dare to ask the school captain to inquire, the slave's name is Tang Jin, and he is on duty in the apse of the Xuan Room." ”
"Now the place I'm going to is the Qilin Pavilion, and the Qilin Pavilion has drawn some images of the ministers of this dynasty, but the others are unknown."
The male servant is a "slave" and the maid is a "maid", which is different from the woman in the inner room who calls herself a "slave", this Tang Jin is a eunuch, and he is not even a small yellow door in the inner servant, Gou Shen is one of the only few captains in the Han Dynasty, and speaking to him politely makes Tang Jin tremble.
Tang Jin has been bending down and walking beside Gou Shen, a little more than Gou Shen is one step ahead, Gou Shen asks, he will answer a sentence if he thinks about it, and the language is coherent, but he never says much, and his face is red after speaking.
After a while, he arrived outside the Qilin Pavilion, Tang Jin reinstated, and Gou Shen should enter the pavilion. Liu Xun was dressed in a black brocade dress. After Gou finished paying homage, he asked: "What are the captains of the Han Dynasty?" How does it work? ”
Is this an examination school? Gou Shen replied: "The ministers Gou Shen returned to His Majesty: There are the following captains of the Han Dynasty. For: Lieutenant of the Middle Base, Captain of the Tun Cavalry, Captain of the Infantry, Captain of the Yue Cavalry, Captain of Changshui, Captain of the Hu Cavalry, Captain of the Shooting Voice, Captain of Hugong. Captain of the City Gate, Captain Wuji, and Captain Huqiang. ”
"Most of these lieutenants are in charge of the royal guard army, with about 700 to 1,000 people in each school, and they stay in the palace in peacetime and go out to kill the enemy in wartime."
Gou Shen looked at Liu Xun's expression as he spoke, and continued: "The lieutenant lieutenant was originally a subordinate officer of the lieutenant, and when Emperor Wu was separated from the lieutenant, he was promoted to lieutenant, and he was in charge of the northern military base, and he could be in charge of the troops in the Western Regions for a specific time. ”
"The captain of the tun cavalry is in charge of the heavy cavalry troops, the captain of the infantry is in charge of the Yuanmen tun soldiers located in Shanglinyuan in the southwestern suburbs of Chang'an, and the captain of Changshui is in charge of the cavalry composed of Huns and other Hu people in the northwest suburbs of Chang'an."
"The captain of the Hu cavalry is in charge of the Chiyang Hu cavalry, and these Hu cavalry are also composed of Huns. It's just that the soldiers under the jurisdiction of the tribe and the captain of Changshui are different, and they are not often placed. ”
"Captain Tiger Ben is in charge of the chariot troops."
"Captain Yue Cavalry is in charge of the light cavalry troops."
"Captain Archery is the archer unit in the Forbidden Army. The sound of shooting, that is, 'hearing the sound in the dark', is also a marksman".
"The captain of the city gate is in charge of the soldiers of the city gate of the Beijing Division, and there are Sima and the twelve city gates under the captain of the city gate."
"Captain Wuji's garrison is often moved, counterbalancing the military of the Western Regions, there are Captain Wu, and Captain Wuji, because Captain Wu and himself are in the Quartet, so Captain Wuji is wandering among the countries of the Western Regions."
"The last is the captain of the Qiang Protector served by the minister."
The lieutenant is a military position, and the salary is extremely high, and the standard of rank and service is equivalent to the imperial court stationed in each county Taishou or the prime minister of the vassal state.
Under the captain of the Gyeonggi area, there is a chief and deputy lieutenant and a chief and deputy Sima, who are in charge of government affairs and peacetime drills, and the team of 1,000 people is divided into ten brigades, each team has hundreds of people, and the brigade has a chief and deputy captain, and each brigade is divided into five squads, and there is a team leader and a deputy leader.
In the Western Regions, the school captain has a relatively more flexible scope of authority, and he leads more soldiers, and the more responsibilities he shoulders, the more important he shoulders.
It's just that I don't know what Liu Xun called himself into the palace in the evening and asked what he was doing?
"Now the Xiongnu civil war is raging, the border is very uneasy, the Xiongnu are powerful, there is a suspicion of uniting and coercing the small countries in the Western Regions to make chaos, Wusun and the Han Dynasty are friendly, and they will inevitably bear the brunt of the impact."
"Therefore, it is necessary to do the marriage well in advance, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
"The so-called death is to recruit people, merit is a general, it is always innocent people who are displaced by war, if the people of the Western Regions are surging into my Han, if they are appeased and resettled, it will add some unstable factors to the Han, and if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, I also know the Tao, but I want to refuse to ignore it, and I can't bear it in my heart."
Liu Xun doesn't like to fight, but it doesn't mean that he is just a confused king, it seems that he urgently summoned himself to achieve the matter of marriage and kinship as soon as possible.
"Minister, obey Your Majesty's will."
Liu Xun listened to Gou Shen's words and didn't know if it was okay, so he pointed to some portraits on the wall and said, "Gou Shen, do you know who these people are?" ”
Gou Shen has been looking at the Qilin Pavilion without squinting, and only then will he look up, this Qilin Pavilion has a total of eleven portraits, each of which indicates the name and life, merits.
Gou saw that Liu Xun was going to take a closer look by himself, so he started with the first one.
This first person had big eyes and short mustaches, dressed in the clothes of the marquis, and looked at the words "Da Sima, Great General, Bo Luhou, surnamed Huo", but did not write his name, Liu Xun said: "This is Huo Guang." ”
"Huo Guang?"
The matter between Huo Guang and Liu Xun, since he was a waiter in Yingshui County last year, Gou Shen has heard too much, it can be said that without this Huo Guang's words, the emperor of today's Han Dynasty does not know if Lu Dao is the Liu Xun in front of him.
And it is precisely because of this reason that Huo Guang has controlled the court for too long, the people of the Huo family are pampered and arrogant, and their minds are vicious, so Liu Xun lost his wife Xu Pingjun.
Gou Shen was silent, he glanced at it, and the names of the characters in the back portraits were written very comprehensively and carefully, but Huo Guang had no name, only a surname.
It can be seen that Liu Xun is a relatively enlightened and commendable emperor, otherwise he would not have put Huo Guang in the first place on this list of obviously meritorious heroes.
Gou Shen compares his heart to his heart, if he is Liu Xun, whose family has killed the woman he likes. I will never be magnanimous to put the portrait of this person in front of me, and I will look at it without anything.
Work is work. It's over. The grievances were clear, and in an instant, Gou Shen felt that he admired Liu Xun a little.
Liu Xun saw Gou Shen's silence, pointed to the second person and said, "This is Zhang Anshi." ”
Zhang Anshi is a son of Zhang Tang, a cool official during the time of Emperor Wu, an elder brother of Zhang Anshi is called Zhang He, Zhang He once wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Xun, who has not yet been the Son of Heaven, but was stopped by his younger brother Zhang Anshi, which made Xu Guanghan become Xu Guozhang......
Gou Refer to Zhang Anshi's life and write: "There is meritorious service in protecting the establishment." Worship as the Great Sima. ”
Zhang Anshi was Fuping Hou when Emperor Liu Fuling was Zhao, and he and Huo Guang supported Liu Xun as the Son of Heaven, and he was the second person in the Qilin Pavilion to contribute to Liu Xun.
The person on the third portrait is called Han Zeng, this Han Zeng is the great-great-grandson of Han Wang Xin who defected to the Xiongnu and the nephew of Han Yan, a minister of Emperor Wu.
Liu Xun doesn't like war, so he has basically fought few wars in the more than 20 years he has been in politics, and Han Zeng has nothing to say as a big Sima.
The person on the fourth portrait, Gou Shen, looks very familiar, and at a glance the name is "Zhao Chongguo".
Feelings Liu Xun is not only on the list of heroes who have passed away, but also those who have lived long.
And then. The people on these portraits are: Wei Xiang, Bingji, Du Yannian, Liu De, Liang Qiuhe, Xiao Wangzhi, and Su Wu.
Wei Xiang once served as Liu Xun's prime minister, so Bing Ji won't talk about it. It can be said that without Bing Ji, there would be no Liu Xun today, and it is unknown whether Liu Xun could survive from prison when he was a child.
And Du Yannian is the father of the current Taichang Du Chuan and Huangmenlang Du Qin, and has served as the imperial historian.
As for this Liu De, he is a member of the Liu family, and his former position was Zongzheng, who was in charge of royal affairs.
Liang Qiu He, the position of Shaofu, one of the nine Qings, Liang Qiu is the surname, the name is "He", he is a great writer in the Western Han Dynasty Liu Xun period, I Ching research everyone, Gou Shen thinks about this Liang Qiu He I don't know what to do with the god Jiao Yanshou and the Beijing side that he has not yet met?
The other two people, Xiao Wangzhi and Su Wu, needless to say, but Xiao Wangzhi was ranked in front of Su Wu, who was loyal to the liver, righteousness, courage and righteousness, which made Gou Shen a little depressed.
Thinking about Yang Yun's words, combined with his own thoughts, Gou Shen felt that this Xiao Wangzhi was really a master of power and conspiracy, and he was also a hypocrite who was desperate for power and extremely hypocritical.
This kind of person is very scary, and if you stand on the opposite side, you are really a very tough opponent.
But unfortunately, Xiao Wangzhi and Yang Yun and Zhang Chang did not deal with each other, besides, he and Xu Haoming indirectly overthrew Xiao Wangzhi's faction figure Shen, Xiao Wangzhi could not become good friends with himself anyway.
What's more, he is just a small newly promoted captain, how can Xiao Wangzhi, an aircraft carrier that exists like a giant, look at his own small fishing boat?
Looking at the eleven heroes in the Qilin Pavilion, Gou Shen remembered that Li Shimin, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in later generations, also made a similar list of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion, but Liu Xun called himself here this time, what was it for?
Do you want to work hard and strive to be on the list?
In a trance, Gou Shen looked at the portraits of these eleven heroes again, and heard Liu Xun say: "You are a young and intelligent man, knowledgeable, flexible, and proficient in military law, I am very pleased. ”
"I hope that you can be a useful person to the country and the society."
Liu Xun's words were already very straightforward, and Gou Shen immediately fell to the ground and said generously: "The minister is willing to smear his liver and brain for His Majesty, until death!" ”
Liu Xun smiled and asked Gou Shen to get up: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be successful, since I said that I want you to do well in Yingchuan County, I will not be stingy with rewards, and you are too young, it is inevitable that you will be a teenager, and you will experience it in Jinmamen to help you do it in the future." ”
Oh? So didn't it take Li Mingjun to hold back in Jinmamen for more than ten days because of Li Mingjun's killing?
"The minister understands that every drink and peck is the grace of the Son of Heaven, and the year of the minister's weak crown has been ranked at two thousand stones, and it is unique in the Han Kingdom."
"Minister, don't dare to slack off, Your Majesty's love for your ministers has been better than that of the champion Hou of Emperor Wu, but the minister has not built an inch so far, and he has failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations."
"Minister, I'm honestly afraid."
Gou Shen knelt down again as he spoke, and Liu Xun asked him to get up again: "Since you are already the captain of Huqiang, you should perform your duties and go to Xiqiang, and now your marriage to Princess Wusun is a top priority." ”
"You have a long way to go."
"You already know everything about the situation, how to act, you can do it yourself."
If you don't go to Xiqiang, you don't have military power, and you're just a lonely person in Chang'an, which is the same as a general who doesn't have a tiger talisman to transfer troops.
It seems that today's summons of the Qilin Pavilion is the opportunity to give face-to-face lectures before welcoming relatives, and it is purely a pre-war agitation.
The weather is dry and dry, there is no trace of wind, the sunset has set in the west, the sky is hazy, and when he arrives at Jinmamen to wait for the edict, Gou Shen heard someone call himself, and take a closer look at a palace maid beside Liu Min.
What is this maid doing here?
Gou Shen had a good heart, saw that there was no one around, and walked over.
Sure enough, as soon as he turned over the wall, Liu Minbo's slightly annoyed face flashed in front of Gou Shen.
Gou Shen bowed, but Liu Min commanded: "There is something important in this palace to inquire about the captain of Huqiang, you all stand far away, but if someone has sharp ears and bright eyes, what do you hear, what do you see?" ”
Several palace maids immediately walked far away and stood facing the wall, Liu Min's face didn't know whether it was hot or impatient, ruddy, even in the dark, he could feel the vigorous heat emanation, which made Gou Shen like it very much.
Gou Shen was about to speak, but suddenly remembered something, and his heart was excited. (To be continued......)
