Chapter 90: The Imperial Court

When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback. When Han Sui heard this, he immediately burst into a rage. He already regards Jin Ma Chao as his lifelong enemy, how can he admit that he is afraid of Ma Chao? Han Sui immediately stood up and said angrily: "Bo Ying, such a simple agitation method, do you think the old man can't see through it!" ”

Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "Lord, this is not a radical general, this is really for the sake of the lord." That Jin Ma Chao is quite resourceful and more ambitious, he knows the talent of the lord, if the lord is willing to surrender to him, he will definitely reuse the lord. Although the lord lost Liangzhou, he also got a chance to live, why not? ”

As soon as he heard this, Han Sui's heart became even more angry, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't say it!" The old man swears that he will not succumb to the horse! ”

"Then the lord ......," Cheng Gongying said with a smile.

"Generals Yan Xing, Zhang Heng, Ma Wan, Liang Xing, and Yang Qiu listen to orders!"

"The last general!" The five stood up and clasped their fists.

"Immediately start the army, and then make plans after crossing the Weishui first, the old man doesn't want the six counties in Hedong!"

"Whoa!"

…………………………………………………………………

The war in Liangzhou was in full swing; The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Shandong (east of the Kushan Mountains) were engaged in a battle with the official army, and the Montenegrin Army was retreating while fighting and retreating to the Taihang Mountain; Liu Pi and Gong Du in the Central Plains, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and the million-strong Yellow Turban Army that will be called "Qingzhou Soldiers" by the world in the future are still wandering.

The world is in erosion and turmoil, except for Luoyang City. The turmoil in various places has not affected Luoyang City at all, and since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, except for a trace of turmoil caused by Tang Zhou's whistleblowing, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not affected Luoyang City at all. Luoyang City is still the Luoyang City, with a population of one million, the gold market covers the world's skilled craftsmen and a dazzling array of goods, and the peddlers and pawns rub shoulders with the citizens who go shopping, and the flow of people is like weaving;

The horse market gathers horses from all over the world, where you can see the Dan horse, the Hehuang horse, the Liangzhou horse, the Mo Nan horse, the Mo North horse, the Western Regions horse, and even the Dawan horse. There are also hot donkeys for sale in the horse market, just because His Majesty Liu Hong likes donkeys today, and has raised a large group of donkeys in the West Garden, which has driven the ministers of the city to compete to buy donkeys, so the donkey, a strange beast produced in the Western Regions, is quite hot in the horse market.

Above the gold market and the horse market, there are the two houses of the north and south. The North Palace is the residence of the emperor, his concubines and members of the royal family. The palace of the north palace is less than that of the south palace, and the architecture does not have the regularity and symmetry of the south palace. The buildings located on the central axis are: Wenyu Palace, Anfu Palace, Hehuan Palace, Deyang Gate, Deyang Palace, Xuanming Palace, Shuoping Department, Pinghong Palace. There are only half rows of buildings in the west of the central axis, from south to north: Chongde Palace, Chongzheng Palace, Yongle Palace. There are two gates in the south of Chongde Palace, the East Gold Merchant and the West Divine Tiger. There are two views in the south of the two gates, the east increases the joy view, and the west white tiger view. There are two rows of buildings in the east of the central axis, which are in order from south to north: Tianlu Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Hande Palace, Shou'an Palace, and Zhangde Hall in the west. The east is Yongning Palace, Yingchun Palace, Yanxiu Palace, Anchang Palace, Gyeongbokgung Hall and Yong'an Palace.

The south palace is the place where the emperor and the ministers and hundreds of officials discuss the court, the building layout is neat and orderly, and the palace pavilions are lined up one after another. The main palace is located on the north-south axis, from north to south: Sima Gate, Duan Gate, but not the door, but not the hall, Zhanghua Gate, Chongde Palace, Zhongde Palace, Qianqiu Long Live Hall and Pingshuo Palace. There are two rows of symmetrical palace buildings on the east and west sides of the central axis. The two rows on the west side are arranged from south to north. The east row is Hongde Gate, Mingguang Palace, Xuanshu Palace, Chengfu Palace, Jiade Gate, Jiade Palace, Yutang Palace, Xuande Palace, Jiande Palace; The west row is the Yuntai Palace, the Xianqin Palace, the Hanzhang Palace, the Yang'an Palace, the Yuntai, the Lantai, the Pavilion, the Changqiu Palace, and the West Palace. There are two rows on the east side, and the west row is the Golden Horse Palace, the Bronze Horse Palace, the Respect Law Palace, the Zhangde Palace, the Lecheng Gate, the Lecheng Palace, the Wende Hall and the East Palace; The east row is the middle of the service, the Qingliang Palace, the Phoenix Palace, the Yellow Dragon Palace, the Shou'an Palace, the Bamboo Palace, the Chengfeng Hall and the East View.

At this time, in the Chongde Hall of Nangong, a court meeting was underway. Sitting on the throne of His Majesty is a middle-aged man, in the words of a thousand years later, "greasy". I saw that this person was of high grade, his figure was slightly bloated, his lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and when he sat down, his huge abdomen was immediately squeezed into distinct layers; A bulging head that looks like it is directly connected to the body, because the neck that connects the head to the body is fat and thick; The ten fingers are also chubby, stubby and round, like the fingers of a baby; In addition to the hanging cheeks and eye circles, the broad face is a pair of narrow triangular eyes, a sparse beard, a short, fat nose, and stubby, fat lips.

However, despite this, this man, who can be called "greasy", exudes a noble temperament on his body, only because he dresses differently. This person's head is wrapped in a black scarf, wearing a crown, the front of the crown is round and the back, and there are twelve strings of jade beads hanging from the front and back, painted black on the outside, and red and green on the inside; Dressed in court clothes, with collars, right sides, ties, wide sleeves, and deep clothes (that is, the top and bottom are sewn together), the color of the court clothes varies according to the four seasons, because it is the height of summer in July, so this court dress is a strong red color; On both sides of the court dress, that is, on the side of this person, there are group ribbons, yellow and red ribbons are colorful, yellow and red are ethereal, two zhang nine feet nine inches long, and five hundred heads. The crown, the court dress and the group ribbon are all supreme ranks. Wearing them, the person is therefore particularly noble and powerful.

The person who can wear a crown is naturally Liu Hong, the son of today. Liu Hong sat on his low throne of the Son of Heaven, and in front of him was a gilded bronze bookcase, to the left of which were neatly stacked bamboo slips; On the right side is a big box, the lid of the box is on the side, the box reveals the seal of the size of a human head, the seal is four dragons staggered, the seal is engraved with eight words "by the order of the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", it is the jade seal of the country.

Behind Liu Hong are two tall palace laves, each holding a palm fan majestically; On his side were ten eunuchs Huangmen, named Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng. They all wore military crowns that could only be worn by close servants and military attachés, and wore dark court robes, and the military crowns were additionally decorated with gold rings and mink tails, indicating their status as middle attendants. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were the leaders, stood closest to Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and both of them bent over each other like ripe wheat, with smiles on their faces.

In front of Liu Hong was his Manchu minister. General He Jin, Che Cavalry General He Miao, Taiwei Cao Song, Taifu Yuan Kui, Shangshu Lu Zhi, Shaofu Huang Wan, Weiwei Yang Biao, Zongzheng Liu Yan, Sili Captain Yuan Shao, Hu Ben Zhonglang General Yuan Shu, Servant Yu Shi Zhengtai, Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Fu and others, or wearing red court clothes, or wearing Xuan court clothes, military attachés wear military crowns at the end, civil officials wear high mountain crowns, and the crowns are all red. The ministers of the ministers knelt on their respective seats as officials, and only He Jin, the general who recorded the affairs of the Shangshu, stood, bowed slightly, and handed a roll of bamboo slips to Duan Gui, a regular attendant who walked down to his majesty to take the bamboo slips.
