Liu Jing, the king of the Han Dynasty, moved into the Weiyang Palace, on the surface, it was from his wife Tao Zhan's casual words, but in fact, this is actually an inevitable result of the general trend, after the Han State conquered Jiangdong, the Han State was greatly revitalized, and the Han State has become a large country with a vast area from the east to the sea and the Hexi Desert in the west, not only occupying most of the Han Dynasty, but also completing the encirclement of Cao Wei.

In this case, the call for Liu Jing to ascend the throne and become emperor gradually rose in the Han Dynasty, in fact, whether it was the civil and military officials of the Han State, or the vast number of Liming people, and even the scholars of the Central Plains, they no longer recognized the puppet son of Yedu, but put the orthodox hat of the Han Dynasty on Liu Jing's head.

At this time, Liu Jing's ascension to the throne and inheritance of the unification was already expected, but Liu Jing knew that this was not the time to consider ascending the throne, and the conditions were not yet ripe, but if he blindly refused in a low-key manner, it would only hurt the hearts of his supporters, and besides, the narrowness and inadequacy of the Han system's system had affected his governance of the Han Kingdom.

Therefore, since the beginning of this year, Liu Jing has gradually abandoned the so-called moral constraints of arrogance, changed Pingzhangtai into a political hall, and set up Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province, which is completely a court without the name of the imperial court, and staying in Weiyang Palace is also expected, even if he is not the emperor for the time being, it can also give supporters a psychological balance.

On the day after Liu Jing Na Da Qiao, the political hall made a decision to open the Weiyang harem, and the Han King officially moved into the Weiyang Palace to live, which made the Chang'an government and the opposition rejoice, which means that the Han King began to take the first step towards the goal of ascending the throne as the emperor.

But at this time, the Weiyang Palace is not the Weiyang Palace of three hundred years ago, the former Weiyang Palace has been destroyed in the previous wars, and the current Weiyang Palace is the year when Jia Xu used the materials of the remnants of the palace in various places, built on the basis of the original Weiyang Palace, and then slowly repaired and improved, although it has been built for many years, but the scale is still less than half of the previous Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is divided into three major parts of the front hall, the middle hall and the back palace, the front office occupies the largest area, is the central government office of the Han Kingdom, most of the official offices are concentrated here, and the middle hall is composed of the three halls of the Qinzheng Palace, the Chengming Palace, the Qilin Hall and the Wuming Square in front of the main hall, which is the place where the Han Kingdom holds heavy court meetings and ceremonies, but it is rarely used.

So far, Weiyang Palace has only enabled the front office and the nave two parts, as for the harem, it has never been used, the harem is composed of Guangmingtai, Jiaofang Pavilion, Qingliang Palace, Yutang Palace, Dongming Building and Phoenix Building six groups of buildings, there are thousands of various buildings and pavilions, six groups of buildings surround the Yao Pond which covers an area of nearly 1,000 acres, there is Kunlun Terrace in the middle of the Yao Pond, you have to go by boat.

Although the harem does not occupy a large area compared to the front office and the middle hall, it occupies more than five times the area of the Han Palace.

Liu Jing's family stayed in the Weiyang Palace process is very low-key, every night by the carriage carrying a large number of cages, silently to the Weiyang Palace moved, on the night of the fifth day, more than a dozen carriages through the Xuanwu Gate of the Weiyang Palace into the harem.

Although the Weiyang Palace has not been opened, there are also people living and taking care of it, there are more than 20 chamberlains and more than 100 palace maids living in the palace, the chamberlain is the eunuch, most of the chamberlains and palace maids come from all over the Central Plains, one of the old eunuchs left by Dong Zhuo is the head of the palace, his name is Zhao Wei, and he has lived in the Weiyang Palace for 30 years.

At this time, more than 100 eunuchs and palace maids were already waiting in line in the Xuanwu Gate, the carriage slowly stopped, and a maid helped Princess Tao Zhan slowly out of the carriage, Zhao Wei hurriedly greeted him and gave a deep salute, "Old slave Zhao Wei see the princess!" ”

Tao Zhan said with a smile: "You are Manager Zhao, I heard King Han say that I will trouble you more in the future." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare! The old slave will serve the princess with all his heart. ”

He was an old slave, and Tao Zhan was very uncomfortable to hear, at this time, Tao Zhan saw the palace maids and chamberlains lined up in the distance, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely: "Who are they?" ”

"Back to the princess, they are the palace maids and chamberlains of Weiyang Palace."

Tao Zhan was taken aback, "So many people? ”

Zhao Wei glanced back at these palace maids and chamberlains, and said with a wry smile: "This is already very few, there were tens of thousands of palace maids and chamberlains around Emperor Ling back then, and there were only more than 100 people. ”

Tao Zhan didn't say anything more, she knew that she had to slowly adapt to the life of Weiyang Palace, according to Liu Jing's instructions, it turned out that the subordinates of the Han Palace, they only brought personal maids and nurses into the palace, and the rest of the family members had all been dismissed, and more than 30 female guards also followed them into the palace.

Tao Zhan nodded and ordered, "It's night now, let them all go back!" I'll get to know each other slowly in the future, and where is the Phoenix Tower? We're staying in the Phoenix Building tonight. ”

"Please wait a while, the old slave will lead the way."

Zhao Wei stepped forward to dismiss the palace maid and the chamberlain, then asked the princess to get on the car, he rode a horse with a carriage to the phoenix, everyone knew that the Weiyang Palace was big, and actually wanted to walk in the palace by carriage, Zhao Wei explained next to the carriage: "The Phoenix Tower is in the southwest corner, about two miles away from the Xuanwu Gate, too far on foot, the original harem is larger, but generally not by carriage, but by chariot, in fact, it is a rickshaw, but now there is a shortage of manpower, and can only temporarily take a carriage to and fro." ”

Everyone was silent, looking at the countless pavilions and pavilions under the moonlight, as well as the hall that can accommodate thousands of people, towering like clouds, with extraordinary momentum, their eyes are a little bit of flowers, even Cao Xian, who lives in the Tongque Palace, can't help but admire the scale and momentum of Weiyang Palace.

"Princess, it's here!"

The carriage stopped, everyone got off the carriage, only to see that not far away is the sparkling lake, shining in the moonlight, and a huge pavilion as high as more than ten zhang appeared in front of them, the eaves and arches, the momentum is magnificent, and countless small buildings have been built below, surrounded by a yellow wall.

Everyone was a little stunned, they thought that the Phoenix Tower was a small building, but they didn't expect it to be such a huge building, and there were so many buildings, at this time, Tao Zhan realized, a tall building that they could faintly see in the city, isn't it here?

Tao Zhan didn't know that the Phoenix Tower was originally called Phoenix Terrace, which was the living place of the queen, which was naturally extraordinary, at this time, Liu Zhu suddenly shouted, "Daddy!" ”

I saw her running not far away like a bird, and everyone found out that their husband Liu Jing was already waiting for them in front of the gate, Liu Jing took her daughter's hand and walked over slowly, Zhao Wei hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Liu Jing waved his hand and said, "You step back first, just have me here." ”

"The old slave retires!"

Zhao Wei retreated, without this talkative old eunuch, everyone suddenly relaxed, Tao Zhan stepped forward and complained to her husband: "I knew that Weiyang Palace was like this, so I wouldn't move here!" ”

Liu Jing smiled at her, and then said to everyone: "Everyone come in!" ”

The family followed Liu Jing into the Phoenix Building, the Phoenix Building has been cleaned up, the building is brightly lit, the lobby on the first floor is extremely wide, twelve thick pillars stand on both sides of the lobby, the curtain up to several feet hangs down from the roof, in the center of the lobby, all the boxes and cages that have been moved are temporarily placed here, stacked like a hill.

"Let's rest here tonight for the time being, and make good arrangements tomorrow."

Without Liu Jing's instructions, everyone was busy, Tao Zhan also accepted the reality, she was busy arranging everyone's temporary accommodation, the Phoenix Building has more than a dozen floors, there are many houses in the building, they only use the five floors below, basically everyone has their own temporary room.

The night was getting deeper, everyone had gone to sleep, Da Qiao stood on the balcony of the room, she held on to the railing and looked at the sparkling water below, the slightly chilly night breeze blew on her face, blowing her slender and flowing hair, at this time, Liu Jing appeared behind her and gently hugged her waist from behind, "Isn't this cold in it?" Liu Jing asked with concern.

Da Qiao leaned on his shoulder, feeling his strong arms, which filled her heart with warm touch, she raised her head, looked at Ailang with a pair of bright beautiful eyes, and said softly, "You should go to the eldest sister." ”

Liu Jing lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "There are so many wives and concubines, I have to care, I can't care about one or the other, but you are my bride, I have to care more about you." ”

Da Qiao Yanran smiled, "You are really a strange man, you have a noble status, and sometimes you are like a little man living in the house, if you have seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards in the future, do you have to care about them one by one?" ”

"No!"

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "I mean, I can't have so many women, with a few of you, I'll be satisfied." ”

At this time, a report from the maid came from outside the door: "Your Highness, there is news from the front, Sima Xiangguo is asking to see him outside the palace." ”

Liu Jing was stunned, Sima Yi came to see him so late, there must be something urgent, he responded: "I know!" ”

He immediately grabbed Da Qiao's waist and entered the room, Da Qiao's personal maid immediately closed the door of the terrace, Liu Jing smiled at Da Qiao: "You should rest early!" I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”

Da Qiao stretched out his white lotus-like arm around Liu Jing's neck, kissed him affectionately on the lips, and said with a smile: "Hurry up!" ”

Liu Jing turned around and left the room, and walked downstairs quickly, Da Qiao stood at the door and kept watching him walk away, and when he turned around, he saw Cao Xian standing aside with the quilt, looking at himself with a red face, Da Qiao smiled: "What's wrong with the little sister?" ”

Cao Xian was a little embarrassed and said: "Sister Lian, can I sleep with you tonight, the window in my room is not good, it squeaks, I am a little scared." ”

Da Qiao laughed and pulled Cao Xian into the room, "Come in!" It's cold outside. ”

Liu Jing took a carriage out of the harem and came to his official room, only to see Sima Yi waiting for him in front of the official room.

Sima Yi served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War was in charge of the recruitment of the Han Army, the training of new soldiers, the promotion of ordinary soldiers, the pension of the fallen soldiers, the setting of the military city and other military affairs, but these military affairs were specifically responsible for the left and right of the Ministry of War.

However, Sima Yi also has another important position, that is, in charge of the intelligence system of the Han army, which is directly managed by Sima Yi, and the intelligence system was originally in charge of Jia Xu, and was later transferred to Sima Yi.

Since Jiangdong had been captured by the Han army, the intelligence points in Jiangdong had also been disbanded, and now the main targets of the Han army's intelligence were Cao Wei and Jiaozhou.

When Sima Yi saw Liu Jing getting out of the carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, there is urgent information from Cao Wei's side!" ”

Liu Jing nodded, "Go into the room and say." ”
