Chapter 1: Hunting in the Forest
Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei, is similar to the scale of Luoyang City in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the beginning, both by the Zen concession, set the capital here, that is, the Ministry of Engineering Shangshu and the camp to repair the city pool palace room, and negotiate the play, to "Han decline Wei Xing, His Majesty by Zen, virtue chasing Yao Shun, and set to sow chaos, merit over the glory of the martial arts", the new city should be grander than the old city, in order to show the new dynasty atmosphere. However, Cao Cao has never liked extravagance—although he has been slightly indulgent in recent years—and immediately instructed: "There is no need. ”
Mao Jue took the opportunity to propose that the grandeur of the city of Luoyang was made by the addition of the past dynasties, and at the beginning of the construction of Han Guangwu, it must not be its system, and if it has not yet been decided today, the treasury is not full, so it should be small in scale for future generations. Cao Cao played, and couldn't help sneering: "Xiao Xian thinks that I can't level Shu in the end, and I can't do it because of Hanye?" It is said that the reason why Mao Jue finally went to the throne was also due to his disobedience to the emperor's heart in this regard.
In short, the new Luoyang City was built almost completely in accordance with the rules of the old city, and only some adjustments were made in the details according to the current situation. The city is 11,500 steps on Monday, the north is connected to the Yang Canal, the south is connected to the Hongchi, and the Luoshui is seen in the distance. There is the White Horse Temple in the west of the city, flat optimistic, go out to see the west 500 steps, the wilderness is boundless, the forest is towering to the sky, dot the pavilion palace que, it is the famous royal garden - Shanglin Garden.
Shanglin Garden was originally in the west of Chang'an City, was built in Qin, the Western Han Dynasty enlarged, arrested Liu Xiudong Duyang, opened its west side for the garden, is also named Shanglin. However, the Shanglin Garden in Luoyang is much smaller than the old Chang'an Garden, which is limited by the influence of the terrain, and the second is that it is said that most of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not like to hunt, so they are not very willing to pay attention to the too empty forest garden.
There are many royal gardens around Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to Shanglin Garden, there are still Guangcheng Yuan, Pingle Garden, Haolong Garden, Hongde Garden, Xianyang Garden, Lingtai Garden, West Garden, West Garden, etc., but the scale is not as large as Shanglin, less wilderness, forest mang. And many pavilions and pavilions - to put it bluntly, Shanglin is mainly a royal hunting ground, and other gardens are gardens that can be enjoyed in the real sense.
However, Cao Cao wielded a whip and held a lance, and won the world with martial arts, unlike the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his sex was quite good at hunting. Therefore, most of the old gardens of the Eastern Han Dynasty have been abandoned and not rebuilt, but only the Shanglin Garden has been restored. In addition, the new Shanglin Garden also includes the old Xianyang Garden in the east of it, and the regulations are more ambitious.
Shanglinyuan Beiyang Canal, South Luoshui, West is Qianshui, the distance between north and south is similar to Luoyang City, and the east and west are three times greater. It is said that after Mao Jue heard about this, he said in private: "Three waters are inclusive." If the canal is diversioned, 30,000 acres of fertile land can be obtained, and 500 households can be lived. This statement naturally can't be concealed from Cao Cao, so Mao Xiaoxian's ending can be predicted......
It's late autumn, the grass grows and the deer are fat, and the animals are desperately searching for food to prepare for the coming difficult winter, which is also a good time for hunting. Inside the Upper Forest Garden. There was a group of knights roaring and hunting, with bows and bows. However, it is obvious that there is no forbidden army to protect it, nor does it show the banner of the Son of Heaven, and it is not that Cao Cao ran to the forest to hunt deer on a whim.
Riding or riding a pawn who does not care for the time being, and really shoots the prey. At a glance, they are all some noble young people, all of them are embroidered with brocade, the crown is brilliant, and their bows are strong. The horse is good. The first man was of medium stature, whose skeleton was already an adult, but his appearance was still a little immature, with a white face and no beard, and his clothes were different from those of the others—a plain silk robe on his upper body, a leather belt, a bearded robe, thick sheepskin boots, and a crown in his hair. Under his crotch is a high-headed horse, white all over, but dotted with countless cyan hair swirls, four hooves stepping on the wind, as if not getting dust.
The man saw a small herd of elk in the distance, and hurriedly opened his bow, mounted his feathered arrows, and aimed at one of the tall stags, and shot them with a fierce arrow. But the stag was very vigilant, and his body was light and strong, and suddenly he accelerated, and the feathered arrow grazed its cocked tail, and it fell into the air. The man was furious, and heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and hurriedly fired his arrow again—this time aiming at a backward medium-sized female deer, limping from her run, probably wounded in the hindfoot. The arrow finally hit, and the hind fell in response.
Almost at the same time, several horses rushed behind him. The man who shot him stopped his mount, turned his head and laughed loudly, "Late in the morning, I have taken the lead. A companion pouted: "No blame, but Ma Kuai'er, Nai Shi I am equal to the queen - there is a negative word!" ”
This young man known as "no blame" is the only son of today's Taiwei Shixun is Hongfu, named Shifu, eighteen years old, just had a crown ceremony at the beginning of the year, and invited Taifu and Xincheng Gong Cao De to be the guest, giving the word "no blame". The source of this word is the "Fu" hexagram in the Book of Changes, which says: "Heng." There is no disease in and out, and there is no blame for friends; Repeatedly, seven days back and forth. There is a lot going on. "Friends come without blame" means that friends come without resentment and blame - so you rely on your horse to leave us all behind and shoot the deer first, are you worthy of your friends? Is it worthy of your words?
When I heard the words, I couldn't help laughing: "I have a good horse, my brother has a strong bow, and my feet are against each other, so why should I excuse myself?" ”
If it is said that it is ridden by Fu Crotch, it is indeed a grassland Liangji, and it is his righteous brother Wei (whose real name is Li Wei) who dedicated it to his father-in-law is Xun, and it is Xun who casually transferred it to the side room, that is, it is Fu's biological mother Guan Shi - that mother has it, doesn't it mean that the son has it? If you want to ride, how can there be no reason?
And the ridicule is the one who "has the negative Qing character", but the son-in-law of Xun Mingding, the brother-in-law of the future, the surname Xiahou, the single name is Wei, and the word Ji Quan. The big bow in his hand was given by Xun's deceased friend Tai Shici, and Xun himself couldn't pull it open, so he saw that Xiahou was powerful, so he immediately transferred it to him.
In addition to Fu and Xiahouwei, there are also Qin Lang, Qin Yuanming, Chen Jun, Chen Pingzhi, and Tian Pengzu Gongshou, as well as an elder Cao Zhen Cao Zidan, who is Xun's wife and uncle. However, Qin Lang, Chen Jun, Tian Pengzu, and bow horses are very ordinary, and Cao Zhen is an elder, and he doesn't compete with them, so only Fu and Xiahou Wei compete for the first place, but they were Fu relying on the horse fast and shot down the first prey.
is to regain the cheap and sell well, Xiahou Wei couldn't help but snort coldly: "Brother Gu let my brother also." "It's not that I can't compare to you, it's purely the big brother I let you. is to laugh and say: "If you are not a brother, you will let your brother be, but you will let the outside, if you get married, you will not let it go." "You didn't give in for the sake of my youth, but for the sake of my sister's face, you didn't dare to offend my brother-in-law. When you officially get married and get the beauty, I guess you won't let me anymore.
Cao Zhen came over to play a round, deliberately followed Shi Fu's words, and asked Xiahou Wei: "When will Qing and my nephew get married?" Xiahou Wei raised his eyebrows, raised his whip and replied: "Weng has not yet allowed...... Blameless for me? "You go and help talk to your father, and set the date quickly.
It's a reply that I don't dare to ask my father about this, besides-"It's rare for me to see my sister, brother and night, why don't you ask for it?" "Xiahou Wei's fiancée was born to the Cao family of Xue Nai's main room, and lived in the mansion in the city, Xiahou Wei is both a quasi-son-in-law and a disciple of Xun, and he often goes in and out of the mansion, so he can meet with Shi Xue; Theoretically, he is a concubine - although he is a son, a concubine can also be a concubine - has been living in a village outside the city with his mother, and it is rare to see Shixue all year round. So he said, instead of looking for me, you should tell my sister and let her take the initiative to ask her father.
Xiahouwei's face was slightly red: "How can Sister Qing speak?" "She is a big girl, how can she be embarrassed to urge her marriage? Chen Jun next to him interjected with a smile: "It is expected that you will get married, and you will let the inside and the outside." "Look at you, you'll be afraid of your wife in the future, and you'll have to let your brother-in-law when the time comes, where do you dare to be hairy.
Xiahou Wei twisted his eyebrows and scolded: "Son, why do you have to talk about marriage?!" ”
Chen Jun is the youngest in this group, he is seventeen years old this year, and he has not yet been crowned, although he is also dressed as an adult man, but if you look closely, you can see that his forehead hair has not been shaved off, and he still has bangs. So Xiahouwei said, the children's family, other people's marriages, where is your turn to intervene.
Cao Zhen continued to play the round, and asked Chen Jun: "Wen Qing has promised to be married, whose daughter is it?" ”
Chen Jun arched his hand and replied: "It is the daughter of the late Xuzhou Mu." Cao Zhen twisted his eyebrows: "Dow's decline, why should it be a relative?" "After Tao Qian's death, his two sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, were still brilliant for a while, but because their abilities were really shallow, they just relied on their father's shadow, and at this point, they had already faded out of the political arena, and they were just hanging on to the empty marquis eating at home - the Tao family and your Chen family, the door is not very right.
Chen Jun said that this was all arranged before the death of his deceased father, maybe it was because he was grateful for the virtue of Tao Gongzu's appointment back then, or maybe it was ...... He snatched Xuzhou back to Cao, which led to the decline of Tao, probably a little unbearable and a little guilty.
Tian Pengzu immediately scolded: "Qing Shenyan, how can you slander the elders for the son of man?!" "The first half of your sentence is just that, and the second half of the sentence actually says that the deceased father is ashamed in his heart, is this what a son should say?
Chen Jun also knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly apologized. Cao Zhenxin said why did this group of young people get together and quarrel, could it be that my brother-in-law's education is a problem? Just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly heard a person behind him laugh and said: "Gu Yuqing is waiting for hunting, why don't you stop at the horse and talk about it?" ”
When they heard this, they all turned their heads, and they saw a ride coming from afar. The horse is a good horse, black, but it does not gallop, but only trots in broken steps; Immediately a large man, richly dressed, but not in stirrups, sat almost cross-legged in the saddle, and did not hold the reins in his hand—holding a leather bag of wine in his right hand, and from time to time bringing it to his lips to take two sips, and his left hand casually resting on his knee.
But even so, he sat on the horse's back as if he were sitting on a bed, and his body rose and fell with the horse, but he did not move in the right and left directions, and did not shake at all.
As he spoke, the big man had already arrived in front of him, and as soon as he raised his hand, he threw the leather bag in his hand towards Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen caught it, raised his head and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward." ”
Dahan stretched out his hand and wiped his scorched beard under his chin: "Why should my uncle be polite." (To be continued......)
