Chapter 255: Forcibly Lowering Intelligence
The carriage drove out of the gloomy alleyway of Tingwei's Mansion, turned a corner, and entered Chang'an Avenue, where it was obliterated by the deafening war drums, horns, and jubilant voices.
Everywhere you look, there are people, flags, and gongs and drums.
That guy is really crowded and full of people...... Uh, well, the main thing is that almost all of them are officials of Chang'an Mansion, real people, and basically no one can be seen.
It seems that the emperor held a grand ceremony, let the people hide behind the door to peep, eavesdrop, and secretly discuss, so that officials at all levels can go to the streets to maintain order while increasing a little popularity, which is also one of the fine traditions of the Han Empire.
According to the costumes of those officials, Yang Chuan can roughly guess which people are the 'Sikong' who is responsible for fire protection and construction, and which people are the 'Zhijinwu' who is responsible for both fire protection and public security;
As for those who wore the costumes of the common people, held various flags, and beat gongs and drums, they were naturally disguised by embroidered messengers......
Therefore, after only a few glances, Yang Chuan lost interest in the crowd on the street.
He focused on the flags.
Flowers of all kinds, triangular, rectangular, decorated with teeth, hung with long spikes...... Well, it's just pretty good.
Yang Chuan was born as a chef and had no culture, and when he saw those colorful and large and small flags of different shapes, he could only say: "Wo Cao!" ”
For Yang Chuan's outrageous and uneducated, Cui Jiu's old thief has long been commonplace, and while driving the carriage in the direction of Weiyang Palace, he casually pointed out: "You are now the marquis of the Han Dynasty, why don't you have any knowledge at all?" ”
"When the Son of Heaven travels, there must be a guard of honor for the Nine Flags, but not all the Nine Flags come out."
"The chariot has a golden chariot, a jade chariot, an elephant chariot, a leather chariot, and a wooden chariot; The nine flags are Chang, Qi, Yin, Thing, Flag, Min, Yang, Yang, and Jing; ”
"What you want to do, you have to ride in what car, what flag to use, this is a rule, for example, this son of heaven is worshiping the sky, going out, parading, riding the jade chariot, hanging Dachang, this Dachang, generally called the Sanchen flag;"
"The Son of Heaven met with the princes, canonized the same surname, rode on a golden chariot, and hung a big flag; go to the court, canonize different surnames, ride an elephant chariot, and hang a big red; sent troops to fight, canonized the four guards, rode on the leather wheel, and hung the big white; canonized the state of Fan, rode on a wooden chariot, and hung a big collar; ”
"Princes and generals also have honor guards and flags when they travel, but the princes can only use the Jiaolong flag, and the generals can only use the Xionghu flag;"
"As for the banners of other people with titles and official ranks, naturally there are also rules, and you must not be mistaken, otherwise, your marquis's leg will be broken......"
Cui Jiu's old thief talked eloquently, like a well-informed old fox, telling the current 'flag' problem of the Han Empire, which made Yang Chuan gain a lot of knowledge.
However, because there were so many things involved, he almost didn't have time to forcibly memorize them, so he went in through his left ear and flew away from his right ear, and he only wrote down a rough idea.
These cultural knowledge are too complicated, so I still hand it over to Zhang Anshi Naha, and let him sort out a relevant 'small book', which can be consulted anytime and anywhere, so as not to be caught......
Thinking about it like this, the carriage passed through two crowded streets, turned a corner, and came to the largest street in Chang'an City.
This street leads directly to Weiyang Palace.
Coming here, the royal majesty and Xuan He had a comprehensive display, because when the carriage drove to this avenue, the real people appeared: seven or eight princes surnamed Liu, nearly 100 liehous, Guannei marquis, Guanwai marquis, 100 civil and military officials wearing gorgeous official uniforms, and the families of a large number of officials with a rank of more than 2,000 stones......
These big men of the Han Empire, all of them have extraordinary bearings, sitting in their respective carriages, hugging each other in front and back, and everyone's face is very solemn.
Cui Jiu's old thief seemed to guess Yang Chuan's intentions, and once again casually pointed out: "The Son of Heaven personally presides over some important ceremonies, and it is necessary to first convene all the princes, kings, marquises, civil and military officials, and then you can sacrifice to the sky, worship the ancestors and shrines, read the edict, and announce it to the world." ”
"Look, this time the ceremony was held in Weiyang Palace, and naturally it was centered on the front hall of Weiyang Palace, so all the flags had their own positions."
"The ones on the left are the Qinglong Banner, the Wuyue Banner, the twenty-five Wufang Dragon Banners, the fourteen Red Gate Divine Flags, the Vermilion Bird Flag, and the six-pole soap silk; In the right column, there are white tiger flags, five five-star flags, twenty-five five-phoenix flags, fourteen red door god flags, Zhenwu flags, and six-pole soap fluttering; Those big flags belong to the banners held by Jinwu; ”
"The following Jinwu is called the honor guard of the military department: the front of the left has the Tianyi Flag, the Seti Flag, the Jupiter Flag in the Wuchen Flag, the Mars Flag, the Beidou Flag, the Horn Su Flag in the Twenty-Eight Flags to the Bisu Flag, a total of fourteen, after these flags, there are Fengbo Flag, Bai Ze Flag, Taming Elephant Flag, Xianlu Flag, Jade Rabbit Flag, Taming Rhino Flag, Golden Parrot Flag, Ruimai Flag, Peacock Flag, Mustang Flag, Ox Flag, Sun and Moon Flag, Lei Gong Flag, Three Military Flags, Yellow Deer Flag, Feilin Flag, Qi Flag, Don Tooth Flag, White Wolf Flag, Cangwu Flag, Evil Flag, Net Flag, Piqi ......"
Listening to Cui Jiu's unstoppable guidance, Yang Chuan's brain was about to explode.
Well, he's too uneducated as a 'big man chef'.
Of course, if all these banners are replaced by the world's ingredients, seasonings, and dish names, he can also do it as many treasures and tell the story, ensuring that he is not worse than Cui Jiu's old thief.
In the final analysis, it is still a problem of blind spots, and it doesn't matter if he can't remember it for a while, anyway, there will be special people in Tai College to teach these cultural knowledge in the future.
However, he didn't get nothing, at least now he finally knew that the current avenue was called 'Anmen Street', and the palace on the right was the 'front hall', which belonged to Weiyang Palace, also known as the West Palace, and was the residence of the emperor in the world;
The palace on the left is the Changle Palace, the East Palace, and the most magnificent is the famous Jiaofang Palace, which is the residence of the queen of the Han Empire.
It was also at this time that Yang Chuan finally figured out that, unlike some dynasties in later generations, the Han Dynasty actually had the right hand and the west, with the right hand and the west as the honorable position......
……
"Hey, who's the new guy? Why haven't you seen it? ”
"Yes, what is the way to get this, Da Nagato personally drove him away? Which prince is it? ”
"Hey, let Da Nagato drive it himself, even if it's the prince!"
“……”
After Yang Chuan's carriage drove into Anmen Street, the nobles on both sides of the avenue began to whisper, causing a small commotion.
After all, an unkempt boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a fat snow leopard, two golden eagles, wearing a dirty green shirt, and a pair of small deerskin boots, but riding in the exclusive carriage of the Marquis of the Horse, is a little strange to look at.
Moreover, what stunned many people was that Cui Jiu, the big Changmen, actually drove this young man himself?
It is inevitable that some people who don't know the situation will think about it, and they can't help but want to figure out, where did this 'upstart' come out of nowhere?
Of course, because of the 'Tai Academy turmoil' before, those real powerful families are still relatively familiar with Yang Chuan.
Anyway, I also gave a gift to this thief.
So, along the way, the further I went, some people began to greet and greet one after another: "Yangchuan sacrificial wine is coming?" ”
"I've seen Da Changmen, and I've seen Taixue sacrificial wine."
"I've seen Dachangmen, I've seen Yang Chuan's son."
Cui Jiu's old thief was expressionless, and when he met someone to greet him, he just bowed his head slightly, and only when he saw Prime Minister Sun Hong, did he bow his hand, but he didn't say anything.
Yang Chuan couldn't.
Looking at it, these dozens, nearly a hundred big men of the Han Empire, which one of them seems to have a bigger title and official rank than him, and if he wants to learn from the appearance of Da Changmen, he will probably be beaten to death.
Therefore, he simply stood up, and stood in the carriage all the way to bow his hands and greet each other, so that the nobles on both sides of the road looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
"The Great Farmer Order has worked hard."
"Doctor Yu Shi has worked hard."
"Prime Minister Gongsun has worked hard."
"King Huainan...... Uh, don't know, next. ”
Originally, the atmosphere of the scene was very solemn and solemn, everyone was crowned with a high crown, the official uniform was gorgeous, shining in the sun, and everyone's words and deeds exuded a strong noble atmosphere.
However, let Yang Chuan make such a fuss, that solemn atmosphere was destroyed at the time.
In the crowd, Cao Xiang, Huo Quai, and Li Kang, who were pretending to be, had already laughed out of a pig when they saw Yang Chuan being embarrassed.
"If you don't sit down yet, how can you stand up and say hello?" The corners of Cui Jiu's old thief's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "It's a shame to drive for you!" ”
Yang Chuan was stunned and asked, "Can't stand up?" ”
Cui Jiu said coldly: "Only when the emperor and the general are reviewing the soldiers and horses or sending the soldiers on the expedition, can they stand on the carriage......"
With a 'poof', Yang Chuan sat down and scolded in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Cui Jiu was speechless for a while, but his face was gloomy and he didn't speak.
He skillfully drove the carriage and came to a vacant seat, but it happened to be sandwiched between Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, and Gongsun Ao, the Marquis of Heqi, which made Yang Chuan depressed for a while.
It's intentional, right?
You must know that Zhang Qian and Gongsun Ao are the newly promoted Marquis of Guanwai, and they are still relatively low-level existences in the Marquis; At the same time, many people in the court know that there is a gap between Yang Chuan, Zhang Qian, and Gongsun Ao, and it is estimated that Liu Che also knows it.
It's a very fucked up arrangement.
Zhang Qian and Gongsun Ao also looked stunned when they saw Yang Chuan coming over in a carriage; Among them, Bowang Hou Zhang Qian's expression was gloomy and he silently lowered his head;
Gongsun Ao, who had just been crowned the Marquis of Heqi, raised his eyebrows coldly, snorted coldly in his nostrils, and scolded in a low voice: "Sycophant!" ”
By the way, he also spat the ground, looking at Yang Chuan's gaze, there was a lot of unkindness.
"This is your place, remember, don't mess up when you enter the palace later; In addition, the old man made a joke with you before, in order to save his face, the emperor robbed Princess Nangong of the opportunity, accepted Zhidu's daughter Zhiniang as a righteous daughter, and canonized her as Princess Zhiyue. ”
Cui Jiu's old thief jumped out of the carriage with an expressionless face and floated away.
Yang Chuan was stunned for a while, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and muttered: "Even you can joke......"
However, Zhiniang was named a princess by Liu Che, which was also a big advantage for Yang Chuan, so he was in a good mood.
Yang Chuan sat in the carriage, glanced at Zhang Qian on the left, Gongsun Ao on the right, and then at Zhang Lian, Fan Li, and other evil people who were frowning and eyebrow-raising on the other side of the avenue, and sighed secretly: "Yes, I want to plant fields and cook, and my plan to develop for a few years has failed. ’
I have to say that Liu Che's move is too ruthless.
said that he would let him farm well and help Huo Qubing prepare for the construction of the No. A field camp, but because of a folk girl Weaver Niang, Yang Chuan was casually scooped up from a small pond and thrown in the middle of a group of old yin π in the imperial court......
This is no longer a simple test of his adaptability, but a proper test of his survival ability.
It's just that what should come will come after all, it's just two years earlier or two years later, and he, the 'big Han cook', will have to ascend to the court sooner or later, so 'if you come, you will be safe'.
It only took three or five breaths for Yang Chuan to figure out the stakes, and his signature smile gradually appeared on his handsome little face, which was naturally harmless to humans and animals.
He arched his hand to Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, and said with a smile: "I've seen Marquis Bowang." ”
Then, without waiting for Zhang Qian to return the salute, he immediately turned his head to look at Gongsun Ao, the co-rider on the left-hand carriage: "I've seen the co-rider marquis." ”
Zhang Qian's hands that had just arched seemed very redundant for a while, but he could only sigh secretly and sit silently on the carriage, as if thinking about something.
Gongsun Ao sneered and said, "Yo, isn't this Yang Chuan's thief?" Why, finally let you cling to the nobles and enter the court?
However, look at your unkempt appearance, just came out of the dungeon of the Tingwei Mansion?
Hahaha, I wasn't beaten out of and pee, right? ”
Yang Chuan looked at Gongsun Ao and said with a smile: "Isn't Heqi Hou serving as a Taishou in Shuofang, why, the spring plowing and spring sowing over there are over?" I don't know how many acres of land will be cultivated this spring, and how much grain can I get from the autumn harvest? ”
Gongsun Ao sneered: "Even if there is not an acre of crops, it has never been sown, but the title of my Gongsun Ao, the marquis of Heqi, is a real marquis of military merits, and he was exchanged for his life on the battlefield, but you Yang Chuan thief, what military merits do you have?"
Oh, by the way, I heard that you once captured alive two of the most unsuccessful kings of Wanhu of the Huns, which is also considered a military feat? ”
Yang Chuan smiled and stopped talking to this muddy person.
Today is the great day of the Han Empire, and there are several things in it, all of which are still related to him Yang Chuan, how can you waste your tongue with a vulgar martial artist here......
Unexpectedly, Yang Chuan didn't speak, Gongsun Ao seemed to have a deep prejudice against Yang Chuan, and couldn't help but sneer again: "Yang Chuan, I heard that you have received a lot of gifts from others in the affairs of Tai Academy, just gold, cattle, sheep and livestock, land, money and grain, there are millions of gold.
Tsk, it's worthy of someone comparing you to Dong Yan's waste, you are not very old, and your appearance is very ugly. ”
Yang Chuan turned his face, looked at Gongsun Ao with a smile, and said, "Gongsun Ao, if you are so crooked, I will let you kneel and beg me?" ”
"Phew, yes, I'm so scared!"
Gongsun Ao spat on the ground, and said nonchalantly: "You can go back and ask the Marquis of Changping, if it wasn't for my Gongsun Ao in the past, he would have been killed by the people sent by the eldest princess of Guantao, how can he have the glory of today?" ”
Yang Chuan smiled.
It turns out that the root of the disease is here?
Let's just say what's going on with Gongsun Ao, the old horseman, every time I see Cao Xiang, Huo Quzhi and Yang Chuan, I always feel a little yin and yang, as if I have been forcibly reduced to intelligence, but the original jealousy makes me dizzy......
Regarding the friendship between Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao, he once heard Cao Xiang and Huo Qubing talk about it, speaking of which, this old guy can really be regarded as Wei Qing's life-saving benefactor, and once took the risk to rescue Wei Qing who was chased and killed by the old woman of Guantao.
Now, Wei Qing has won seven battles and seven victories, and has become a first-class god of war general in the Han Empire, the top-ranking marquis of the knighthood, and the official worship Tai Lieutenant, that is, the later Great Sima and the Great General, can be regarded as the number one person in the military.
And Gongsun Ao is only a lowest-level Guan Waihou, and now he is only a lieutenant with a rank of 2,000 stones in the army, and the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and the resentment in this guy's chest is becoming more and more irrepressible.
However, even if your Gongsun Ao is dissatisfied with Changping Hou Weiqing, you shouldn't have targeted him Yang Chuan from the beginning, right?
In any case, he was only a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old......
"Gongsun Ao, today's emperor holds a ceremony, which is a good day for the whole world to celebrate, you don't want to provoke me," Yang Chuan said with a gentle smile: "Of course, if you are entangled, believe it or not, I will kill you today, an old horseman?" ”
Gongsun Ao was furious, stood up from his car suddenly, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Yang Chuan thief, you seek death!" ”
