Volume 5: Blood and Tears Seal the Sand Eighty-six: Kunming Pond is upstairs and the boat is sheng
In the autumn of the second year of Yuanzhen, the Xiongnu were angry and defeated in the west, and wanted to kill the evil king of Hun and the king of Hutu.
The two kings were afraid to discuss the surrender of Han. King Hutu wanted to repent halfway through, and the evil king killed him, and his tribe led more than 40,000 people to surrender to Han. The five vassal states accept their subordinates. From then on, the Han Dynasty occupied the land between the rivers and cut off the western road of the Xiongnu.
Also returning to the Han Dynasty were Jin Ri, the prince of King Hutu, and his mother and brother, who were all not in the official position, and lost to the Yellow Gate to raise horses, when they were fourteen years old. No one expected that this inconspicuous Xiongnu boy at this time would become an important minister of the Han court in the future.
Huo Qubing dealt with the surrender of the evil king to the Han Dynasty and returned to Chang'an. The emperor rewarded him with numerous rewards for his great achievements. Huo Qu was already weak in his illness, and his mother Wei Shao'er wanted to arrange a marriage for him, and Queen Wei finally selected three girls with the most prominent family backgrounds among the nobles of Chang'an, and considered it repeatedly. However, news came from the Xuanshu Palace, and the emperor wanted to build a mansion in Chang'an City for Huo Quai, and Huo Qubing was not able to say: "The Huns are not destroyed, and there is no home." ”
Shang Yan smiled and praised his courage.
Wei Shao'er was stunned for a long time and smiled bitterly.
At the beginning of the third year of Yuanzhen, when the Qingliang Palace reported that Jieyu Wang Qinxin had died, Wei Zifu's pace in the Jiaofang Palace was paused for a long time, and Fang said: "I know." ”
The death of a disgraced concubine in Weiyang Palace is like a drop of rain in the Weishui River, without a trace.
Wei Zifu felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and ordered: "No matter what, I still have to say it to Your Majesty." ”
However, Liu Che's instructions were quite indifferent, just said. "Give the third son of the emperor, Liu Hong, to Xing Qing'e to raise."
The third son of the emperor, Liu Hong, is only four years old this year, and he is still learning to speak. A slightly higher-grade concubine in Weiyang Palace. Only the torturer never had a child and was handed over to her to raise. It's the best of both worlds. It's just that there is some coldness, Wang Qinxin, who was once so pampered, died alone, and His Majesty didn't even ask.
In February of the third year of Yuanzhen, Wang Qinxin was buried with Jieyu grade. March of the third year of Motokaku. According to the suggestion of Bowang Hou Zhang Qiandi that year, the envoys sent to find the body poison from Shu (present-day India) returned to Chang'an and reported to the emperor that although the king of Dian sent people to help them find a way to get rid of the body poison, it took more than a year to be blocked by the Kunming tribe near the Erhai Lake in Dali, and finally failed.
Liu Che felt that the dignity of the Han was seriously offended. In a fit of rage, he wanted to ask for an army. was finally stopped by Prime Minister Li Cai, saying that the Kunming people lived with the water. The Han army only practiced 6 battles. If it's really an army. Even if it is finally requisitioned, it will be a heavy loss. At that time, the Manchu Dynasty was in the heart of the civil and military. I already feel that for Zhang Qian's hopeless suggestion, the imperial court has spent too much manpower and material resources, which is really worth the loss. It's just that His Majesty is arbitrary, and he can't say anything.
When he returned to Changmen Palace in the evening, Liu Che was still puzzled, and said hatefully: "I have been in power for many years, and even the iron-blooded and warlike Huns can conquer it, can't I still deal with a small Kunming clan?" ”
Gillian's heart moved, and she knew that what Liu Che was looking for was the future road to the south--- and the poisonous path of Shu. If this matter can be opened as soon as possible, foreign trade will be of great benefit to the Han Dynasty, and it is no wonder that Sang Hongyang is so keen on this matter.
Although the Han Dynasty did not have a rule that the harem could not interfere in politics, Gillian knew that the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty were not good at saying anything about the taboo of Zhulu's chaotic power, so she only said lightly: "Your Majesty must have a way." ”
On the second day, Liu Che summoned Changping Hou Wei Qing in the Xuanshu Hall to discuss the training of the navy.
"It's not impossible," Wei Qing said with a difficult face, "It's just that when training a navy, there must always be a river and lake that can accommodate tens of millions of people." And there doesn't seem to be a suitable place near Chang'an. ”
Liu Che frowned slightly, and when he caught a glimpse of Chang Xinhou's thoughtful expression, he asked, "Does Liu Qing have any ideas?" ”
Liu Yi arched his hand and smiled: "I believe that Your Majesty has already made up your mind, so why should Wei Chen say more." ”
Liu Che gritted his teeth and said, "Those barbarian juniors of the Kunming clan dare to provoke me, and it is necessary for the Han Tianwei to conquer." I want to artificially carve out a pool in the shape of Erhai Lake in Shanglin Garden to drill the water army. It can be leveled after three or five years. ”
This idea is really a bit crazy and extravagant, except for Liu Yiwei Qing, Huo Quai, who was a little moved, Huo Quai, couldn't help but say: "There is no need to do this, at most, pull the navy farther away, can't you practice?" ”
Wei Qing's heart tightened, his nephew, the young man has always been extremely favored by the king, he has always wanted to say something, and he probably didn't understand that if this king decides something, no matter how much manpower and material resources are spent, he will do it, and he said: "If you are sick, your majesty doesn't have to mind if he is young." ”
Huo Quzhi glanced at Wei Qing dissatisfied, but after all, he didn't object anymore and lowered his head. Liu Che saw it in his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "I have made up my mind, you each go down and pick some soldiers who are suitable for water warfare." By the time the Kunming Pond was finished, I wanted to see three thousand sailors. ”
The three of them answered the promise. ”
The excavation of the Kunming Pond requires a large amount of money. After waving away Wei Qing and the others, Liu Che gave a cold look and ordered: "Summon the great Si Nong Sang Hongyang to come in." ”
Sang Hong Yang was waiting outside the Xuanshu Palace, and when he heard the words, he entered the hall to pay respects and said, "Minister, Sang Hong Yang has seen Your Majesty." ”
"Get up," Liu Che commanded casually. "Sang Qingzhen, I asked you how much it would cost to dig a forty-mile-shaped Erhai pond in Shanglin Yuan?"
Sang Hongyang received the order, measured it in his heart, and said, "It costs about three baht, one hundred thousand yuan." ”
Although this is not a small amount, it is still a lot less than Liu Che expected in his heart. Liu Che couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Hongyang's estimate is accurate?" ”
Sang Hongyang smiled and said, "Actually, even if it costs more, it's worth it." His Majesty probably knows that although there is Weishui around Chang'an, the capital is prosperous. Drinking water is still somewhat scarce. If water is diverted from the upper reaches of the Feng River to form an artificial lake, the forest garden is high. The automatic flow of water to Chang'an can also ensure the water supply of Chang'an City. That's it alone. It's worth the extra money. ”
Liu Che raised his eyebrows and stared at him and said, "Sang Qing is thoughtful. ”
Sang Hongyang arched his hand and said humbly: "The minister's worry is a matter of duty. ”
Kunming pond excavation. Under the overall command of Sang Hongyang, it is carried out in an orderly manner.
Chen Ajiao secretly guessed that Sang Hongyang used a lot of advanced knowledge in the future, at least so that the excavation of Kunming Pool this time was not scolded for being too ruthless for working hard and hurting money.
In the third year of Yuanzhen, Liu Che ordered the establishment of a music house, and Sima Xiangru was responsible for collecting folk songs in the world.
In the blink of an eye, in the fourth year of Yuanzhen, Kunming Pool should be completed. Liu Che took Chen Ajiao to Shanglin Yuan to watch. Gillian must admit that Kunming Pool is extremely beautiful. The water ripples, the sky is bright and the clouds are shadowy. Surrounded by pavilions along the pond, the pavilions are exquisite and gorgeous. Sit on the boat. At a glance. Refreshing. From this point of view, it seems that there is no reason for this. In Liu Che's mind, the most important thing is his future amusement.
Liu Che ordered the construction of several giant building ships to train the water army day and night.
Chen Ajiao was a little worried in private, and asked Liu Yidao: "In the past, Cao Cao also built a Xuanwu pond to practice water army, and the Jiangdong army was still defeated in the first battle, although the artificial lake is good, there is no wind and waves in the end. Do you really practice a superb water army? ”
Liu Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's just a small Kunming clan, that's enough." ”
In the fourth year of Yuanzhen, the general Wei Qing and the champion Hou Huo Quai, each led 50,000 cavalry soldiers and attacked the Xiongnu in the north by two routes.
This is the most magnificent and tragic chapter in the history of the Han-Hungarian War, the Battle of Mobei.
Huo Qu fell ill out of the North Vietnamese desert of Dai County, encountered the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang, and after a fierce battle, the Xiongnu fled north. Huo Quzhi led his troops to chase to the Wolf House Qingshan and Beihai to capture the three generals and more than 70,000 people under Xiangguo. In this battle, Huo Quai's illness went deep for more than 2,000 miles, and the Xiongnu went away, and the south and north of the desert were all suppressed.
Wei Qing set out to attack the Huns. Go deep into Mobei, plough the court to sweep the caves, find and annihilate the main force and the Xiongnu Shan Yu met and committed suicide with a knife under the fierce battle.
At this point, the Xiongnu no longer had the strength to fight with the Han.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Yuanzhen, the great Si Nong Sang Hong sheep received the order to strike three baht coins and cast five baht coins. Since then, the Han Dynasty has used new currency. (Note: This is one year ahead of history). The oil-walled car, which is common in the market, slowly drove towards the east wall of Chang'an City, and the Xuanping Gate stopped in front of a high-rise compound. The girl who lifted the curtain called out loudly, "Mother-in-law." "Although the clothes are plain, they are extremely valuable, and a horse of Shu brocade is a month's harvest for ordinary people. About ten years old, her eyebrows are beautiful, revealing a hint of dignity. The neighbors who passed by secretly looked at each other and whispered guesses, but the identities of the two guests were not right.
After so many years of affluent life, although the years are ruthless, they have not left too many traces on Aunt Shen. Seeing Gillian's mother and daughter, they were happy, but they couldn't help but be a little worried, looked up and down for a long time, took Gillian's hand, frowned, and said: "Gillian's godmother, you have a noble status, you don't have to come to see me in person." Since returning from Ganquan Palace in the second year of Yuanzhen, Chen Ajiao has been able to leave the palace more or less, and occasionally comes to visit her godmother to relieve the loneliness of Aunt Shen's lonely life.
"How so?" On the side, Liu Chu said with a smile: "Are you your mother-in-law?" ”
Then someone came up to serve tea, and Gillian smiled and said, "Fengjia is not here, Gillian often comes to accompany her godmother, isn't it." ”
Fengjia is the name of Xiao Fang after Shenhu's weak crown. People have their own ambitions, but they can't be strong with each other. Although she had hoped that Shen Hu would join the army with the descendants of the descendants to help the descendants of the willows. But Shen Hu is devoted to martial arts and has no yearning for the battlefield, so she is not strong. Back then, in Tanggula Mountain, Shenhu learned martial arts more attentively than Gillian, and over the years, with Guo Xie wandering outside, it was probably more exquisite.
It's just that Gillian sometimes thinks that Shenhu can choose life according to his own heart. But he could only walk towards the gentle and shrewd prince step by step. If he wasn't born in the emperor's family, would Mo'er prefer to be a ranger in the world of swords?
Day by day. The pride of going all over the world was buried in that splendid deep palace.
"Gillian" Aunt Shen seemed to see through her thoughts. sighed, "You have a noble status. And unlike them. And a woman is not like they are out and about. ”
She put the obscure things behind her and smiled, "Don't mention it." Today, I'm going to be a filial daughter and cook for my godmother. ”
"This ......," Aunt Shen cheered just as she was about to dissuade Liu Chu, "that's great." Mother-in-law, you don't know, my mother rarely cooks, and my brother and I have been remembering it for a long time. ”
Gillian was angry and funny, grabbed Liu Chu and said, "You come over and give it to your mother." By the way, it's time to learn how to cook. ”
Liu Chu was stunned and struggled: "I am the princess of the Han Dynasty." Why do you want to learn and make it for whom? ”
The servant girl who was waiting on the side was new to hearing this amazing identity. I was taken aback, and I didn't know if it was true or not. I was stunned for a while. Seeing that the two of them were far away, he stepped forward and asked softly. "Old lady......?"
Aunt Shen turned back slightly, looked at her, and said solemnly: "Qingrong Chen Niangniang, if you tell the identity of the mother and daughter, ...... out."
Qingrong had always felt that the master she was waiting for had a kind temperament, but at this moment, looking at her sinking face, she couldn't help but shudder, and said on her knees: "Qingrong knows." ”
Liu Chu's crisp voice came from time to time in the stove room: "Is it oil first?" ”
"Oh, how much water?"
"How do you cut vegetables?" Gillian's frantic voice "Shut up...... Children cannot be taught. ”
"Old lady," the housekeeper gently walked through the corridor to the lobby and said to Aunt Shen: "There is a car outside the door, and the person on the car said that the son surnamed Wang came to find Xiao **." ”
Aunt Shen thought for a while and said, "Please let them in." You go and inform the young lady. ”
The butler whispered, "Yes." ”
The porter came out with a smile and said, "Childe, please come in." ”
The man in the car answered softly, and the man in black got out of the car and glanced at the porter, only to feel cold, so he didn't dare to look up again.
On the side, Yang smiled proudly and said, "This is it." ”
"Mrs. Shen." In the lobby, Liu Che bowed and said, "I'm sorry."
Aunt Shen responded politely: "No." I don't know the son and the ...... What is Little Women? ”
Behind him, Liu Chu walked through the corridor and saw Huanxi from a distance, and called out, "Father...... Daddy. ”
Aunt Shen only felt trembling all over, and instantly understood the identity of the person in front of her, and her face gradually changed.
Liu Che smiled back and caught Liu Chu and asked, "What are you doing with your mother?" ”
"Mother, I'm cooking today," Liu Chu couldn't help but say, "I'll help my mother," his face fell, stretched out his hand and pointed, "I was splashed with oil, and my mother said that my son can't be taught." ”
Liu Che couldn't help but smile and looked at Gillian outside the door. Gillian obviously didn't expect him to appear here, and she was a little surprised.
"I ...... I was planning to come out today, and I heard that you and Chu'er were here, so I came to have a look. ”
Gillian nodded, knowing that the Qimen army was probably secretly outside the Shen Mansion. He commanded his subordinates, "Go down first." ”
Before leaving, Qingrong couldn't help but glance back, is this handsome and noble man the emperor of the Han Dynasty?
"Yes, it's better to come early than to come by chance," Yang said with a smile on the side, "I happened to meet my wife cooking herself." ”
Liu Che smiled and looked at Gillian and said, "I didn't see you cooking under Changmen." Gillian couldn't help but smirk: "I'm too lazy, why should I stretch out my hands and open my mouth to eat?" ”
I don't know why Liu Che seemed to have a faint disappointment in his heart. Obviously, Gillian was already by his side, but he had an illusion that her mind was still ethereal elsewhere. Thinking of this, my face couldn't help but sink a little. But he said: "Auntie, I thank you here for saving your life in the past." Aunt Shen exclaimed, "Don't dare to be." …… In fact, Niangniang is beautiful and kind, and everyone is willing to treat her kindly. ”
Liu Che said lightly: "I know." ”
The dishes are full of color and flavor, and even Qinghuanlou is difficult to match. Liu Che couldn't help but recall the first time they met in Wenle Building after Gillian was exiled from the palace. Although now Wenle Lou is declining. At that time, it was very famous in Chang'an City. That time in Wenle Building, Gillian also cooked by himself, but he didn't know that it was her who was sitting opposite.
If. It was Gillian who suffered a great grievance in his memory. Seeing that he is also an emperor, shouldn't he cry and complain instead of calmly analyzing the gains and losses of interests on the side?
In the end, Gillian in the past has always been single. At the bottom of his heart, he looked at her beside him, and there were some inexplicable worries in his heart, and the smart person could take a step out and watch all the gains and losses?
There was a commotion outside the Shen Mansion, and Liu Che couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The butler came in and said. "There was a priest outside the door, babbling nonsense, and the purple air was sparkling above the house. There will be men of great nobility. The sneer was unbelief.
Liu Che was stunned when he heard this. He came to Shen Mansion today. It's really a temporary idea that I didn't even think of before. So. Could it be that this person does have the ability to channel the gods?
"Let him in." Liu Che instructed lightly, and after many years of imperial life, he was accustomed to speaking in a commanding tone, forgetting his identity as a guest. The housekeeper was a little strange, but he was intimidated by Liu Che's momentum, and said yes.
"The poor surname Li is called a young man." Fang Shi made a joke in the hall, raised his head, and although his clothes were down, there was a hint of wonder in his description. looked at Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty is polite here." ”
Chen Ajiao frowned slightly, remembering that Liu Che believed in the second half of his life, and spent countless times to seek the way of immortality. Probably starting with this Li Shaoweng?
"What is Mr. Li's ability?" Liu Che asked.
"Poor roads can make people soulful."
"I don't have anyone I want to see." Liu Che said lightly. Li Shaoweng couldn't help but be stunned.
Gillian blinked and summoned Liu Chu to confess a few words. Liu Chu nodded, jumped down, walked in front of Li Shaoweng, stretched out his hands and asked, "Mr. Li, if you can be enlightened, I have a golden melon seed in one hand, can Mr. Guess which one?" ”
"This is also a nobleman, I want to be the emperor's daughter." Li Shaoweng smiled and said: "It's a pity, judging from the face, the fate is unlucky, but fortunately, it will be good in the end." Although she thought that this person was just an opportunist, Chen Ajiao's face still sank, and she sneered: "Thank you, Mr. Xiaonu, let's guess first." ”
Li Shaoweng saw that Liu Che's expression was calm, and he couldn't see joy or anger, gritted his teeth and said, "Left." ”
Liu Chu smiled happily and said, "Sir, are you sure?" ”
"Naturally determined...... On the right. On the right is His Holiness. Is what the princess said right? ”
Liu Chu smiled, his eyes shining with an incomprehensible light. Li Shaoweng was shocked when he saw it, although it was random nonsense, but the woman's early wisdom was indeed vulnerable to the heart.
"Mr. Li," Liu Che lowered his eyes and said, "Sir, did you see it clearly this time?" ”
"Your Majesty." Li Shaoweng turned to Liu Che and knelt down and said: "The princess has nothing in both hands, the so-called golden melon seeds are just a mother, and she wants to try Shaoweng." Niangniang," he looked at Chen Ajiao and said, "What the young man said is right?" ”
Chen Ajiao smiled slightly and ordered: "Open your hand early and show it to Mr. Li." ”
"Yes." Liu Chu replied clearly, spreading out his hands.
On her left hand lay a golden melon seed.
Liu Che was furious and asked in a cold voice, "How did you know that I was here?" ”
Li Shaoweng sat on the ground with a pale face. "Your Majesty," Gillian reminded softly, "this is the Shen Mansion." Only then did Liu Che come to his senses and ordered: "Escort him to the Tingwei Mansion and hand him over to Zhang Tang for interrogation." ”
The two guards answered, and stepped forward to take down Li Shaoweng.
"Jiaojiao" Liu Che looked at Gillian and suddenly asked: "Jiaojiao believes that there are really people in this world who can communicate with God?" ”
Gillian couldn't help but be stunned, if it was before, she would naturally say unbelief. But the strange circumstances that she was born in and the dream that seemed to be true and illusory before Yuanguang's six-year production made her unable to say it categorically at this time.
"Perhaps," Gillian pondered, "there really are such people in this world." But Gillian believes that there are more people who deceive the world and steal fame. ”
Just like Li Shaoweng.
At the end of the fourth year of Yuanzhen, Zhang Tang, an inner court official, reported that Li Shaoweng committed suicide in the Tingwei Mansion, and had previously confessed that he had seen His Majesty on the bell and drum tower in the fifth year of Yuan Shuo.
This chapter is relatively long, and the front is a transitional plot, so to 3ooo words, I feel that the plot is not enough, and I am afraid that everyone will not read enough. I just kept writing. It's about two chapters long.
In the next chapter, after entering the fifth year of Yuanjia, Mrs. Li will appear.
History records that Mrs. Li died in the sixth year of Yuan Ding. According to the opinion of a book friend, it is assumed that she was 25 years old when she died, and pushed forward to five years of Yuanjiao, about 18 years old.
M in his prime.
