The story of the eastern border, we will tell it later, and the story of Chang'an City in Gyeonggi is even more exciting.

Saying.

In Chang'an in October, a pool of autumn water is in full bloom, and thousands of views are good.

But.

In the Taiwei Mansion, it is difficult to hide a sad heart, and it is difficult to write a thousand words.

According to common sense, as long as it is the season that is about to end the year, the mansion of the five princes and the twelve secretaries must be full of officials and steaming, whether it is the end of the business at the end of the year, or the officials of various provinces walking around to contact the emotion, it is a lively scene of the crowd and shoulder to shoulder.

In fact, most of this year's mansions of the Five Princes and Twelve Secretaries are lively scenes, but only one is slightly different.

Since the Taiwei Mansion changed to Jiang Cang, the owner, the Taiwei Mansion of Nuoda has become a deserted place, and even the most lively and busiest main hall compound has bullied people to grow a few weeds, and no one has come to pull them out.

Taiwei was in charge of the military and political affairs of the world, which should have been the most noble position in the dynasty, and when Liu Gan was in power, there was an endless stream of people who handed over the letters of worship in the Taiwei Mansion, and it was not surprising that they lined up from the gate of the Taiwei Mansion to several miles away.

However, when Liu Gan left and Jiang Cang took office, this scene changed dramatically.

There is no other reason, naturally it is Jiang Cang's baby son Jiang Feng's behavior in Quzhou, which caused public anger in Gyeonggi.

One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven; One person lost his way, and the whole family suffered.

At this moment, Taiwei Jiang Cang sat between the rockery and the blue pool, looking at the sky cloudless, his melancholy mood improved slightly, he entertained himself, picked up a round pebble and threw it into the lake, the calm lake water bloomed instantly, like a thunderbolt rising from the ground.

This reminded Lao Jiang Cang of the youth of Jin Ge Iron Horse when he was young, and there was inexplicably a little more resolute color in his lifeless eyes.

A few ripples in the water had just calmed down, and Lao Jiang Cang looked up again, and there was an extra cloud in the sky that was originally thousands of miles of blue sky, just like an old age stain on his face.

Lao Jiang Cangmeng returned to reality, and his mood immediately became depressed again.

The old man was once again intoxicated by the bleak and mournful world, and stood alone by the lake, groaning incessantly.

It can be said that since coming to Chang'an City, Lao Jiangcang's mood has always been bad, so that the subtle changes of every flower, grass, mountain and water will affect Lao Jiangcang's mood, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his mentality with grass and trees.

Although Lao Jiang Cang is appointed as the fifth prince of a supreme minister, people who have insight into the situation in the DPRK and China know that this is a helpless move made by His Majesty to use force against Goguryeo and in order to ensure the relative stability of the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Jiang Cang has been immersed in the position of Quzhou Mu for most of his life, and naturally he has seen through this truth.

However, he Jiang Cang, still riding alone, is here!

In Jiang Cang's heart, he has always been a decent Hanchen, and he has never had any idea of splitting the earth and sealing the king, and the biggest luxury in this life is to think about finding a duke and marquis after a hundred years.

After Jiang Feng pacified the eight major clans in Quzhou, Lao Jiang Cang did not advise Jiang Feng to stop in moderation, but after his son inherited his mantle, his ambitions became bigger and bigger, and his actions became more and more extreme. With the help of Jiang Xingze and other young Zhuang factions, Jiang Feng reintegrated the Jiang clan in a very short period of time, hollowed out his own power, and expanded externally and recruited helpers through means for many years.

However, these things, Lao Jiang Cang remembered in his heart, and he could only rot in his heart.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the current Jiang family is already the only one who looks at Jiang Feng, and he can no longer let him Jiang Cang dictate him!

And Jiang Cang came all the way to Chang'an City, if nothing else, he wanted everyone in the world to know that his Jiang family was still Hanchen, and he Jiang Cang wanted to do his best to be a courtier in his lifetime!

At the very least, when he Jiang Cang was alive, he could still be regarded as Hanchen!

Thinking of this, Jiang Cang couldn't help but sigh to himself: above the court, the ministers of the Pythagorean were excluded and neglected, and the ministers of the world watched from the wall; Outside the temple, the people close to them are estranged, and the way of loyalty and righteousness is gradually drifting away. Alas! People are not satisfied, their hearts are not satisfied, and everything is not complete!

Just when Lao Jiang Cang was lamenting, a small attendant came in a light step, he stood quietly behind Jiang Cang, saluted gently, and said tremblingly, "Lord Taiwei, Your Majesty invites your Excellency to enter the palace to discuss matters, and the car has been prepared." ”

Jiang Cang turned his head and saw that the little attendant was dressed in ordinary clothes and sloppy, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The Son of Heaven summons the ministers on a daily basis, and the emperor's close attendant Zhe Hong personally goes to the palace to upload the edict, and no matter how bad it is, a great permanent attendant will be appointed by the Fuyun supervisor in charge of the palace attendants.

But today, the Fuyun Supervisor actually sent a small permanent attendant to pass on the edict, and this little permanent attendant was untidy and had stains on his sleeves, which was obviously a strong man who had been temporarily arrested, so he hurried here for unknown reasons.

Because of the small and the big, the contemptuous attitude of the entire Han family center towards him Jiang Cang can be seen.

The vicissitudes of the world, the ups and downs of the sea!

Jiang Cang sighed to himself in his heart, looked at Xiao Chang Shi lightly, and finally replied neatly, "Okay!" ”

......

Jiang Cang's carriage is specially built by Liu Yan, the son of heaven, to take care of Jiang Cang's body, the carriage is two square, three feet six inches high, the bronze car cover is eight feet high, and the diameter is one zhang.

This made Jiang Cang feel a little gratified.

Whenever he sat on the car, Jiang Cang would always sigh softly, "The Holy One still cares for himself!" ”

The outer palace of the imperial palace is built around the inner palace, and the inner palace is composed of six palaces: Changle, Jianzhang, Weiyang, Tongguang, Changqiu and Ganquan, and the outer palace is the residence of the five princes and twelve kings and the princes and nobles.

Along the way, the carriage was flat and stable, Lao Jiang Cang sat in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, raising his eyes from time to time to look around, some palace attendants and guards saw Jiang Cang's carriage, did not salute, and did not look up; Some of the ministers of the DPRK and China who were riding in their own cars passed by Jiang Cang, not squinting, not greeting, and not paying attention.

Seeing this, Lao Jiang Cang simply closed his eyes completely, no longer paying attention to these powerful people, and avoided the embarrassment of himself and others.

In October, Chang'an has a pleasant climate, and a slight charcoal fire has been lit in the Xuanshu Palace.

Liu Yan, the Son of Heaven, dressed in a brocade embroidered robe, sat quietly on the couch, solemnly and solemnly looking ahead.

Above the dark dragon, there was his favorite iced sand fruit on weekdays, but today, Liu Yan did not move at all in the face of this favorite thing.

Even the close attendant Ochre Hong, who has always been clever and sensible, couldn't guess what the Son of Heaven was worried about!

After a while, Liu Yan, the Son of Heaven, looked straight ahead and said lightly, "Where are you?" ”

The close attendant Ochre Hong stood up from the side tremblingly, and replied respectfully, "Return to Your Majesty, count the time, it's time to come." ”

Liu Yan was not talking.

The quiet needle drop in the hall can be heard.
