Chapter 5: The Family, the Country, and the World (4)
"Rui'er, you know, since Zhang Ye's death, I have ordered to strengthen the palace gate guards, only to strengthen the internal ban, but An Siqian is suspicious of the ghost, thinking that this is because I suspect him, and there is a lot of disrespect between my words in private." Speaking of this, Bao Yuan already had anger on his face.
"Well, it's just that the words behind it may not all be true, I'm afraid that there are good people who are telling right and wrong." I have said a lot of persuasion, just because the people in the DPRK and China are treacherous, and there are indeed many people who want to use the hand of Bao Yuan to clear up the dissent.
"It is this reason, so although I was unhappy after I knew it, I didn't care about it, but instead adopted Han Baozhen's recommendation and asked An Siqian to lead the Inner Forbidden Feather Forest." With that, Bao Yuan got up and paced back and forth in the room.
I looked at him so irritable, thinking that something must have made Bao Yuan sit on An Siqian's guilt. I only heard Bao Yuan's hatred and said: "This An Siqian took over Yulinwei by himself, and his laws were strict, and he actually killed soldiers for Liwei......"
It turned out that after An Siqian took over the forbidden army, Bao Yuan accidentally checked the roster of guards and found that some soldiers were still young but were reprimanded by An Siqian. After some investigation, it was found that there were not a few such soldiers, so he personally ordered the Inner Forbidden Mansion to leave the repulsed people in the register. However, when An Siqian learned about it, he fabricated charges and killed all these guards.
Speaking of this, Bao Yuan patted the case and said angrily: "Rui'er, you say, even if this An Siqian has no objection, how can he tolerate him if he brutalizes my Dashu soldiers so much?" ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but nod and said: "Lang Jun often said, 'The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully', what An Siqian did is really the common anger of people and gods, but he is in charge of the forbidden army, if you can't take it in one fell swoop, I am afraid it will endanger your life." ”
"Don't worry." Bao Yuan Chengzhu was in his chest, and his eyes were firm and said: "I visited the Taoist Immortal before to live alone, and I issued an edict to the harem just to confuse An Siqian. He is in charge of the forbidden army, and he must have some henchmen, and if there is a mistake that will endanger the safety of you and the queen mother, you must not be unguard......ed."
"You're so stupid!" I was angry and said, "Always care about us but don't think about yourself, if An Siqian suddenly makes a difficulty, the first to bear the brunt is you, and you still care about this and that......"
"You are my beloved family, and it is my duty as a husband to ensure that you are well-being." Bao Yuan smiled calmly.
Suddenly, his eyes were sour, and he snuggled into his arms, choked up and couldn't speak.
On the 12th day of February in the 17th year of Guangzheng (954), when An Siqian ascended to the court, Bao Yuan ordered a strong man to kill him in court, and then disposed of his three sons.
At the same time, Wang Zao was also killed for Baoyuan on the charge of opening and demolishing the border pass without authorization.
After killing An Siqian, Bao Yuan ordered Xie Xingben to take over the forbidden army of the Inner Palace, and completely purge An Siqian's cronies and followers placed in Yulin Weizhong, but he did not kill these people, but only sent them back to their hometowns. As soon as this move came out, everyone was impressed, and it was said that Bao Yuanren was the lord.
In March, Yihai Shuo (the first day of the new year), Bao Yuan ordered the commander of the Shengsheng and the control of the crane and the commander of the Zhongshu Order, Sun Hanshao, the official Wuxin Jie Du envoy, gave the title of King of Le'an County, received his military power, and removed him from his military position.
Subsequently, in view of An Siqian's imperious and domineering lesson, Baoyuan ordered Shannan Xidao Jiedu to make Li Tingqi and other eighteen people divide the forbidden army, and from then on divide power and rule.
After purging the guards, Bao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and I followed suit.
"Mole grasshopper song, earthworm out, king melon sheng, bitter vegetable show." Bao Yuan stood on the ridge of Miao Xiujiaqing at this moment, and said with a smile.
I stood in the bright early summer sunshine, my whole chest was filled with fragrant and fresh breath, and I closed my eyes and breathed deeply, how sweet this free air was!
"Rui'er, it's been a long time since I've seen you so happy." Bao Yuan gently took my hand and interlocked his fingers with me.
Oh, yes, it's been a long time since I've stepped out of the high walls that surround me! I looked back at him with a smile, and the summer sun in the morning breeze shone brightly behind him with a golden halo. More than ten years later, he is still as handsome as he first met.
"Meng Lang, why did you suddenly take me out of the palace today?"
Bao Yuan smiled and said: "Now there is nothing to do in the court, and you haven't been out of the palace for a long time, so I want to take you out of the palace to take a walk." ”
As he was talking, he saw two horses galloping in the distance, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Ling Xuan and Ling Rong brothers.
The two of them stepped forward to salute and greet him, and Ling Xuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui, the Lixia Festival Ceremony has been prepared, and the ministers and others are ready to welcome the transfer." ”
I didn't know the reason, so I asked Bao Yuan in a whisper, and he said with a smug face: "Haven't you always been curious about how the people live in Lixia?" Today, I asked Ling Xuan to prepare, so that you can take a good look at the people's feelings...... Hehe, anyway, the ladies of the Ling family are all familiar to you......"
Belch?! I was surprised, why do you have to be familiar with a woman after a summer?
Asked Bao Yuan, but he sold Guanzi, and he would understand at that time, but I had no choice but to follow him patiently to the Ling family.
When I arrived at Deling Mansion, my sister Xinning and Bingyu and Ji'er were already greeted outside the mansion.
Bao Yuan ordered to return to the province today, regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and ordered someone to go to the Li Mansion to bring Feng Yi over.
Subsequently, Liang Shouzhen accompanied Jingyi and Jinyan to come, and the Ling family's mansion was very lively for a while.
After everyone drank Lixia Ice Drink together, and tasted the bowl of bean cake made by Xinning himself, Bao Yuan smiled and said to me: "The rest is the stuff of your female dependents' 'scale people', and it is better for me to wait for men to avoid it." ”
"What is a 'scale man'?" I wondered.
"My sister doesn't know, this 'scale man' is a folk ...... in the beginning of summer."
Before Xin Ning could elaborate, Ji'er laughed on the side, grabbed the conversation and said, "Speaking of this scale person, it also has something to do with our Shudi!" As he spoke, he told us the origin of this folk custom.
It is said that Sima Zhao of Wei sent troops to eliminate Shu Han, and Adou became a dead monarch and was placed in Luoyang, the capital of Wei. Sima Zhao was afraid that the subjects who originally belonged to the Han land would not be convinced, so he treated Adou well and named him the Duke of Anle. On the day Adou was entitled, it was Lixia, and Sima Zhao weighed Adou in front of a group of Shu Han ministers who came to Luoyang with Adou, boasting that he would not treat Adou badly, and wanted to make Adou live a prosperous life and gain weight. Sima Zhao also announced that he would be called Adou once a year on the beginning of summer in the future, and announced that he would weigh in the world for the world to supervise. Later, this matter spread, and the people followed suit, and a custom was formed.
Dead country, dead monarch Adou, my heart was pricked, but I was slapped by Jill in a trance. But I saw her at a glance, like a storyteller, and saw that everyone was in high spirits, these days are rare to have such a day of happiness, I was busy persuading myself not to think about anything, so I smiled and pulled her to ask about the details of weighing.
