Chapter 159: Troubles Are Coming to the World (4)

In the first round of the problem of Yan Han, the problem of Beiyi is actually not very urgent, Yan Han is now strong in soldiers and horses, generals are not afraid of death, soldiers are willing to fight to the death, and the benefits of soldiers and armor are also the best in the world.

Now the Han has 300,000 male soldiers, if they are gathered together, it is enough to sweep the Central Plains, but now there are enemies in the Western Regions, the Northern Territory, the Southern Barbarians, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong, and the 300,000 male soldiers can be used at most 50,000 or 60,000.

In this way, the attack is naturally insufficient, but the defense is sufficient, and in the coming year, Jingzhou, Nanyang County, and Hongnong County will be captured, then you can rest for a while, and after a few years of gathering in the newly subjugated states and counties, it will be enough to wipe out the world.

Therefore, in military affairs, there is not a big problem, but in internal politics, there is a big problem, which was previously on the side of a strong enemy, and the internal problems have been barely bridged and ignored for the time being.

Yang Yi also used the strategy of marriage to temporarily unite with Xungui, so that the time for the outbreak of these problems was postponed, but now that the old capital Chang'an has been subdued, this issue will be discussed.

The country is getting stronger and stronger, so it is necessary to wash away the old humiliation, such as welcoming back the captive Liu Chan and a group of princes, and should have added Qian Zhou, a famous teacher in Shu, but Qian Zhou was declared extinct because of the enemy at the time of the battle in the three eastern counties.

However, because of the good governance of the Yan and Han dynasties, the Qian Zhou clan was all sent out of the country, and of course, the property of the entire clan was confiscated.

After all, the voice of the surrender faction has now been exhausted, and after the subduing of the old capital, the mistake of the surrender faction has been amplified as much as possible, as the leader of the surrender faction back then, he naturally bears all the blame, and at the same time, it also makes Confucianism suffer a big blow because of this incident.

However, Qian Zhou is nothing, but Liu Chan and several princes are important joints, which is also a taboo for Yanhan today.

With the heavy snowfall, everything stopped, and Yang Yi also took the queen and the concubines, the Jiuqing of Beijing, the governor, and the entourage of civil and military ministers to watch the miscellaneous drama together.

Recently renovated Shanglin Garden, Shanglin Yuan was originally built in Xianyang during the Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ascended the throne and expanded it, and Emperor Wu rebuilt it in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty.

After the expansion, the scale of Shanglin Garden is amazing; Build a platform and climb high, look into the distance, everywhere is a large-scale, far-sighted distance, maintain the original appearance of the natural landscape.

Sima Xiangru's "Shanglin Fu" describes the beautiful scenery of Shanglin Yuan and the grand scene of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hunting.

According to records, the circumference of Shanglin Garden is more than 100 kilometers, there are 70 palaces in it, and the land spans the realm of five counties, which can accommodate thousands of rides.

The garden covers eight rivers of Wei, Jing, Feng, waterlogging, Wei, Zhu, Chan and Ba, which is the so-called "eight rivers around Chang'an".

The scope of Shanglin Yuan belongs, starting from Lantian, Yichun, Dinghu, Yusu, Kunwu in the east, along the Zhongnan Mountain and in the west, to Changyang, Wuqi, in the north around the Yellow Mountain, near Weishui and in the east, its land is more than 300 miles.

The hills and mountains in the garden are undulating and caged Cui Wei, the deep forest giant trees are uneven, eight rivers flow into the garden, there are many natural and artificially excavated ponds and marshes such as Lingkun, Jicao, Niushou, Jingchi, East and West Broken Ponds, the natural landform is extremely varied, magnificent and magnificent.

Due to the salty mountains and rivers in the garden, the forest is luxuriant, during which countless kinds of birds, beasts, fish and turtles are bred, forming an ideal hunting place.

Sima Xiangru's "Shanglin Fu": "In the end, in and out of Jingwei." The pickaxe is waterlogged, and the surplus is a snake, and the business is within it. Swinging across the eight rivers, diverting from each other and being different. East, west, north and south, galloping back and forth. "It is based on the water system to delineate the scope of Shanglin Garden.

Ba and Chan Ershui never go out of Shanglin Garden; Jing and Wei water flow in from outside the garden and flow out from the garden; Feng, pickaxe, waterlogging, and waterlogging twists and turns, circling in the garden.

The content of Shanglin Garden, according to the "Hanshu Old Yi": "Hundreds of beasts are raised in the garden, and the Son of Heaven shoots and hunts in the garden in the spring and autumn, and countless beasts are taken. Among them, there are 70 palaces, allowing thousands of rides. It can be seen that the tradition of hunting and recreation is still preserved, but the main content is the palace building and the garden. It is reported that there are 36 gardens, 12 palaces and 21 views in Shanglin Garden. Among the 36 gardens, there are Yichun Garden for recreation, Yushu Garden for royal people to stay overnight, and Sixian Garden and Bowang Garden for the prince to attract guests.

There are also large palaces and palaces in Shanglin Garden, and there are some palaces and temple buildings with different purposes.

For example, the Xuanqu Palace, where music is played and sung; Dog Tai Palace, dog watch, horse walking view, fish and bird view, dog view, horse view, fish and bird view; raising and watching elephants, the spectacle of white deer, the view of white deer; the grape palace that introduces grapes from the Western Regions and the Fuli palace that raises exotic flowers and trees in the south, such as calamus, ginger, cinnamon, longan, lychee, betel nut, olive, citrus, etc.; The performance venue is optimistic; the cocoon view of silkworm raising; There are also Chengguang Palace, Chuyuan Palace, Yanglu Temple, Yangde Temple, Dingjiao Temple, Sanjue Temple, etc.

There are also many ponds and marshes in Shanglin Garden, which can be seen in the records of Kunming Pond, Pickaxe Pond, Ritual Pond, Elk Pond, Niushou Pond, Kuai Pond, Jicao Pond, Dongpi Pond, Danglu Pond, Taiye Pond, Lang Pond and so on.

Among them, Kunming Pond is the four years of Emperor Wu Yuan Hunt chiseled, in the southwest of Chang'an, the circumference is 40 miles, the column views the ring, and the building ship is more than ten zhang high, the flag is planted on it, it is very spectacular.

At the beginning of the construction, such a huge royal garden was discouraged by Chang Shilang Dongfang Shuo's "lack of use for the state and the occupation of agriculture and mulberry".

After the two emperors of Zhao and Xuan, by the time of the Yuan Emperor, the officials who managed Shanglin Yuan were dismissed because the imperial court was overwhelmed, and at the same time, the ponds and fields occupied by Yichun Yuan were returned to the poor people.

When he became the emperor, he assigned the garden land of the "three verticals" (east, south, and west) to the commoners. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang demolished more than ten palaces in Shanglin Yuan in the first year of the emperor, took their materials and tiles, and built nine temples; What followed was the war between Wang Mang's regime and the Red Mei Rebels for the capital, which caused Shanglin Yuan to suffer a devastating catastrophe.

Yang Yi built, naturally not such a large-scale garden, because the planning to lead the Han River to the Wei River, then the new canal will be all included in the new forest garden, but most of them are rewarded nobles, that is, the nobles of the position of the marquis, settled in Guanzhong, given acres of land, built with gardens.

Customized by the Ministry of Industry Shaofu, not exceeded, but also to protect the water source, only plan the important place for the royal garden.

What is done now is only a palace room at the beginning, which has been built in the past two months, and it is enough to accommodate some strange people in the Hanlin Academy to perform miscellaneous dramas here.

As for the miscellaneous drama, a few years ago, Yang Yi convened a folk drama alien, and then pondered and studied for several years, and the concept of the pure end of the ugly was already born, and the form of the drama was also greatly improved compared with the previous folk drama.

Even, since two years ago, under the promotion of Yang Yi, there was his own exclusive miscellaneous drama "The Legend of the Five Tigers", the story of the founding of the Five Tigers of the Martyrs began in the first month of each year, and must be performed for fifteen days, and gradually became a tradition.

With the expansion of the story, the opera has gradually been completed, of course, the descendants of the five tiger generals will ask to fill in a sum for their ancestors, and the Hanlin scholars are also racking their brains for this.

General Guan's five passes and six generals, General Zhang's drinking and breaking Dangyang Bridge, General Ma's lone battle against Cao Cao, General Huang's Dingjun beheading Xiahou, General Zhao's bloody battle Changbanpo and so on.

Back in front of her, it was even more common for Yang Yi and her close ministers and their families to watch a play in the palace...... It must be known that there are very few forms of entertainment in these years, and drama and even storytelling are refreshing forms of entertainment, and once developed, they are even more popular than singing and dancing, and there is no such thing as ordinary people who can see and hear it, but the court cannot listen to it.

In fact, as the Han Empire became stronger and stronger, it gradually regained a bit of the vitality of the Heavenly Empire in the past, and the popular trend displayed by these entertainment methods was far beyond Yang Yi's imagination.

Even, because the palace is isolated from inside and outside, the harem nobles can't go outside for activities, these storytelling, dramas have become their main entertainment, for example, a certain imperial concubine likes to listen to stories the most, and she has to listen to them almost every day, and the storyteller has nothing to do after telling all the stories that have recently been very popular in the folk, so they have to collect folk legends, and temporarily compile current events into it for daily updates.

However, storytelling and miscellaneous dramas, the reason why they are unimpeded in the court is, in the final analysis, the low cost and another very royal role.

For example, most of the scholars in the Hanlin Academy were born in Confucianism, and as the main force in the compilation of these miscellaneous dramas, many of them began to mix some of their own ideas.

When this repertoire was performed, the audience was already silent, and at the end, it was even more silent, but at this time, Yang Yi sat there and ignored it, and there was no sound at all.

The queen and concubine were all silent, and Jiang Dudu, who returned to Beijing to worship, only looked at the sky and said nothing, but several civil and military ministers looked at each other, and then made their own preparations...... is not prepared to deal with these bold and unfilial servants who mock His Majesty, but is ready to speak out at any time to admonish.

The reason is very simple, these folk dramas come from those humble people, when they go out to ask for food, they say more interesting and good things in their mouths, and then they can get more mouthfuls of food, after they appear, they have already formed a unique cultural atmosphere, these servants have a nickname in the court, called 'no fault worm', which means that they have a low status, no matter how sarcastic they are innocent.

What's more, some of them are from their own true intentions, and they are not the people who wrote for them behind them, Yang Yi naturally knows this, not to mention that she doesn't want to bear the name of brutality.

Sure enough, Yang Yi thought about it for a long time, but he directly beckoned those servants to come down to see him, and his tone was not very heavy, and when he saw this situation, he was all relieved.

The servant came, bowed his hands, and stood with his hands tied...... Don't look at them being bold on stage, but when they really get in front of the emperor, they are still afraid.

And Yang Yi, of course, was going to scold him harshly: "You guys are acting very badly, why does it sound a little reasonable, but it's just a small road, not enough to spread the fame, it's not a good idea to find me famous, I have been deciding since the sixth year of Jingyao, this is not what you should say!" ”

The servants were suddenly a little frightened and ready to plead guilty.

However, before they could speak, Yang Yi continued to chatter at this time: "According to me, whether it is a miscellaneous drama or a storyteller, it is essentially to tell a story, and only when the story is good, the characters are good, and there is connotation, so that it can really spread; You look at "The Legend of the Five Tiger Generals", although there are some chiselings, but the story is natural, so it can endure, you do this, of course, you have to find inspiration from history and life, but the key is to make him artistic, perfect, and finished product. ”

After saying this, the surrounding ministers, queens and princesses, and these servants were already stunned, but they still understood.

This is no matter what you say, even if you don't change it, you won't change it if you take out the repertoire that is sung all over the world.

Therefore, after a while, a servant said cautiously at this time: "Let Your Majesty know that although we academicians are also coarse in writing, we don't have the skills of those real academicians, and we can't write any good stories. ”

"What's going on next?" Yang Yi frowned.

"It's "The Legend of the Five Tigers"."

When Yang Yi heard this, he was also not interested: "If this is the case, I won't read it, but the queen has always been a talented person, and I asked her to write a script tonight and send it to the courtyard tomorrow. ”

As soon as these words came out, these servants were overjoyed, and they all knew that this festival would not be taken care of, but several Hanlin on Yang Yi's side had a bitter face, and many of the close ministers who were serving the civil and military servants today were also a little weak.

In other words, the emperor wrote a lot of messy stories in the name of the queen and the concubine, such as the biography of the five tiger generals, and what Journey to the West, the Romance of Chu and Han, who doesn't know?

Moreover, everyone knows that those things are not appropriate for a son of heaven after all.

But when the words came back to it, it was inappropriate, and the emperor also took cover and gave face to the next and the next, so why should anyone have more verbal disputes with the emperor over these things?

This is not an emperor who doesn't dare to kill, there is no emperor who doesn't dare to kill in the Han Dynasty, which emperor of the Han Dynasty is either a man who kills people's heads, or Liu Chan, who is commonly known as a good man, has also killed a lot.

Today, because of the matter of the emperor, he was killed several times, and it was excusable, and he was still sent to the border famine, if it was for profit, then he was sent to the mine as a slave, but it was more uncomfortable than death!

Welcoming back Liu Chan, but it is also a knot in the hearts of many people, especially those Chinese courtiers who are staying at home now, are all given idleness, naturally bear the responsibility for the failure of the year, and the military generals still have the opportunity to make meritorious atonements, but they have cut off any opportunities here in the new emperor, and it was nothing in the past few years, but with the revival of the Han Dynasty, how can they always be idle?
