Chapter Eighty-Four: The Emperor Welcomes Him
The early morning sun climbs up the city tower, illuminates the palace pavilions that are lined up one after another, the Luoyang Imperial City is also called the North and South Palace, the palace seat is facing south into the Lu character line building, especially the south palace of the emperor and the group of officials to discuss politics is the most spectacular, according to the history of the South Palace can be traced to the pre-Qin, originally built by Lu Buwei, after the Gaozu initially set Luoyang to repair and get.
Although today's Nangong is not a monthly dynasty, it is particularly lively, almost all the Qianshi masters who stayed in the capital have arrived, not only that, the carriage of the Taifu Temple has been placed outside the Suzaku Gate at the beginning of the morning, and the car headed by it is a rare emperor to drive, such a swaying lineup, needless to say, the Son of Heaven is going to leave the palace.
The Son of Heaven is the world, generally speaking, he will not go out of the palace often, of course, just in general, for Liu Hong, the son of heaven, especially in summer at this moment, compared to the boredom in the palace, the scenery of the courtyard outside the city can attract him more.
Outside the city of Luoyang today, according to Liu Hong's instructions, many gardens and temples for his amusement have been built. There are West Garden, Xianyang Garden, Xianming Garden, Lingkun Garden, etc. Among them, the West Garden is the largest, and the amusement facilities are the most complete.
Liu Hong, who was indulged in lewd pleasure, built ten naked tour halls in the West Garden, the front steps of the museum were covered with green moss, and the hall was surrounded by canal water. In the garden, Liu Hong even selected beauties over 14 years old and under 18 years old to drink and feast and play at night in the naked tour curator.
Leaving the palace with the company of a beauty is naturally commonplace for Liu Hong, but compared to the usual light car, today's grand luxury is a bit abnormal, of course, if you go to find a beauty to have fun, Liu Hong will not go in a group.
Just after the meal, Liu Hong, who was wearing a ceremonial dress, took his two sons and boarded the carriage that was ready to go, and then hundreds of carriages drove out of the palace in the car driven by the servant himself, and their destination today was in Duting.
The carriage traveled along the gallop road, and there were busy pedestrians and carriages along the way from time to time, and as the road went away, the queue hanging far away actually spread for several miles, which was spectacular.
Just as the long dragon that was several miles along the plate was slowly marching, there was also a mighty and majestic team running on the official road leading from Yanshi to Luoyang, judging from their dusty armor, this team had already rushed a lot.
"Mother, child, the child wants to talk to you about something" Xu Qi, who looked particularly handsome in his new armor, looked at his smiling mother in the carriage with some concern while stroking the Xiliang BMW under him.
"Chu'er, do you also have something to say to your uncle," Jiang Xia glanced up at her son and smiled, then looked at her nephew, who was also wearing armor, and said.
"Uncle, Chu'erγγγ hehe" Xu Chu's embarrassed face turned red, and he chuckled twice to indicate that his mind had been seen through.
"What are the thoughts of the two of you, your mother knows, but you'd better give up the thoughts in your hearts, although you now see that your cousin Boxiao is very beautiful, but do you know his dedication? Last year's Taiping Road Rebellion, you have all seen it, life and death on the battlefield are unpredictable, compared to the scenery, the mother hopes that you can live a safe life, this armor is good to wear and don't take it seriously! β
"But Grandma, aren't your cousins all good? Not only did he seal his wife and son, but he also glorified his ancestors," Xu Qi retorted to his mother's objection.
"I have more than one million soldiers in the Han Dynasty, but there are a few people who can seal their wives and sons, Qi'er, Chu'er, you are all still young, don't think about those meaningless things, your brother is going to Xiliang to fight when he returns to Beijing this time, don't go to make trouble for him, you can do whatever you want after you arrive in Luoyang, but never mention this matter again" Jiang Xia said resolutely.
"Auntie's child is sixteen years old, not young, isn't my brother also on the battlefield at this age? Doesn't the mother give the child a word for Qi just because she wants the child to be as good as her brother? Despite his mother's resolute attitude, Xu Qi still wanted to make a final effort.
"Uncle, usually the children are very bored in the countryside, but now I finally know what to do in the future, but γγγ" Xu Chu also echoed a little unwillingly.
"Mother, Ya'er also wants to be like her brothers, ride beautiful horses and wear beautiful iron armor" Hearing her brother's words, Xu Ya, the little girl who had been lying in her mother's arms and playing, also made do and shouted.
was a little annoyed by the insistence of the two boys, and at this moment, Jiang Xia laughed when she heard her daughter's laughter, and then scratched her Xiao Yao's nose and said: "Hahaha, Ya'er is also here to join in the fun, you γγγγ"
Perhaps God didn't want to disappoint the two teenagers who had just found their goal in life, and just when Jiang Xia was about to scold the child again, Jiang Renhe, who was wearing exquisite armor, hurriedly came to report on a war horse: "Second Miss, the young master ordered, let the little one protect you and the young master first go back to Wubao."
Hearing this, Jiang Xia put away her scolding, looked at Daxu not far away, and changed into a nephew in gorgeous heavy armor and said curiously: "Bo Xiao will not go back to the house together!" β
"Miss didn't know, the young master was informed earlier that His Majesty would personally greet the returning army in Duting, and the young master's Hou Mansion is also in the city, and Madame and Miss Lin usually live in the Hou Mansion," Jiang Renhe explained.
"You said that the emperor was coming to greet his cousin in person" After Jiang Renhe finished explaining, before his mother could speak, Xu Qi, who was a little heavy, had already exclaimed.
"Back to the young master, now the young master is a general of the chariot and cavalry, and his position is high and powerful, and it is not uncommon for His Majesty to come to greet him," Jiang Renhe said with a smile.
"I heard that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he must look different from ordinary people, can we go and see it?" Compared with Xu Qi's surprise, Xu Chu, who has a relatively big nerve, was excited.
"Young Master Cousin, this γγγ" Jiang Renhe obviously didn't know how to answer Xu Chu's headless thoughts, let alone the emperor, even if it was the county order, it would not be so easy for you to see it.
However, Jiang Renhe obviously didn't have to think about how to answer, and in the next moment, Xu Chu's request had been rejected by his uncle Jiang Xia: "Chu'er, what nonsense, His Majesty the Emperor can also say it casually, okay, let's leave first, maybe the people in the clan will also come to greet Boxiao."
"Madame and Miss should come, Second Miss, let's leave nowγγγγγ" Jiang Renhe guided with a sigh of relief.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
Cuihua swaying, banner hunting, canopy towering, hundreds of officials and beside him, facing the scorching sun in the sky, the Han Emperor Liu Hong half-lying on the golden chariot, looking ahead. Today's Han Dynasty is stormy, as the son of the dynasty Liu Hong knows very well in his heart, but the perennial pleasure has created his nature of being content with the status quo, and perhaps it is his greatest ideal to be able to spend this dynasty safely.
Of course, even if Liu Hong's ideals are a little low, but if he wants to spend this life safely, he also knows that it will never be possible to rely on only a few flattering people in the palace, especially now when the border is in flames.
Therefore, today, when Liu Hong vacated the time of pleasure, he took hundreds of officials out to welcome the country's capable ministers with great fanfare and hard work. With such a scene, many people in Luoyang can't help but think of this mighty lineup a few months ago, but the people who were welcomed by the emperor are now idle at home.
With the passage of time, a handsome middle-aged man with a white face who is about forty years a year fanned the wind for the master who was half-resting while fanning the wind: "Your Majesty is here at noon, the sun is too fierce today, do you want to go back to the court first, so as not to hurt the dragon body?"
Hearing someone asking Liu Hong lazily lowered his eyes, glanced at Zhang Rang, who was serving him, and said softly: "How long have you been waitingγγγγ
Seeing Liu Hong's lazy appearance, Zhang Rang, who knew his temperament, couldn't help but smile and said: "It's been almost an hour, Your Majesty, Jiang Qi is too disrespectful, and he is completely arrogant!" He made His Majesty and the hundred officials wait here for so long."
"Has the messenger been here?" As Zhang Rang expected, Liu Hong was really a little tired of waiting for a long time, especially under the scorching sun.
As a person who must report flaws, Zhang Rang has always been annoyed by the failure to clean up Jiang Qi, and he naturally will not give up today's rare opportunity, and immediately said badly again: "No, only yesterday's messenger reported that it would arrive at noon, but now noon has arrived, Your Majesty, being illuminated by such a big scorching sun, I heard that the hospital said that several officials had fallen ill just now."
As soon as Zhang Rang said this, Liu Hong stretched his waist, and looked at the civil and military officials behind the car, and immediately felt a little shaken in his heart, yes, Liu Hong personally went out to welcome Jiang Qi today to make Jiang Qi grateful to Dade, so as to inspire the war spirit to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people as soon as possible, but under the scorching sun, he regretted leaving the palace a little, and even a feeling of being cocooned and bound in his heart rose.
Just as he was considering whether to return to the palace, Liu Hong saw his youngest son sitting quietly next to him, and immediately said: "Is Xie'er tired, it is better to go back to the palace first"
"The father and the emperor are not tired, the prince said that the monarch must not be dishonest, today the child came with the father to meet the general of the chariot cavalry, so naturally he will have to wait until it is" Hearing his father's question, Xiao Liu Xie quickly pinched his somewhat sore ankles and got up and saluted.
Liu Hong, who originally had the intention of returning to the palace in his heart, hoped to get an excuse to return to the palace from his son Liu Xie, who was only five years old, but he didn't want his son, who had only been enlightened for two years, to say such a thing.
Although greedy for pleasure, Liu Hong is not stupid, he knows very well in his heart, since Queen He gained power, He Jin has vigorously recruited capable people and wise men, why is its purpose obvious, although the order of the young and the old, and the passing of the long and not the young is a basis for the inheritance of the emperor, but with the existence of He Jin, Liu Hong really does not dare to pass the Han family to the hands of the eldest son.
Now seeing that the young son is smart and sensible at a young age, Liu Hong can't help but think that it may be more suitable to let the young son association inherit the throne if there is no foreign relative, but there is also the existence of He Jin, the young son wants to ascend the throne but does not wait for reality, unless he can cultivate a strong reinforcement for it, but how can this strong reinforcement be so easy to find.
However, just as Liu Hong was thinking about the royal inheritance, a white shadow appeared in the sky, and then a Qilin battle flag raised high returned in the sky, echoing it from afar.
"Come, come, Nianniang, see your father is back" Looking at the lifelike battle flag, on a delicate carriage next to the official road, the beautiful and kind lady smiled and teased the babbling baby in her arms.
Perhaps the blood was thicker than the water when she heard her grandmother tease, and the well-behaved and beautiful baby seemed to understand the words, and she was quite well-behaved just now, and her big dark eyes widened as she moved her little hands, as if she wanted to see where the voice sounded.
Seeing the baby's actions standing side by side, the beautiful girl couldn't help but rejoice: "Hehehe, mother, Nianniang seems to really know that his father is backγγγγγγ"
War horses thunder, flags fluttering, with the appearance of the Qilin flag, the war drums and ceremonial music that have been prepared outside the pavilion sounded at the same time, its momentum can be described as earth-shattering, several miles away can be heard, the scene is in addition to the neat "Qilin General" shout, the rest of the sound can no longer be clear.
In the face of this scene, even Jiang Qi, who was surrounded by tens of millions of people, was shocked, especially after seeing that the official road was surrounded by ordinary people, Jiang Qi was even more touched, and the voices of 'General Qilin' were enough to make Jiang Qi feel that what he was doing was not meaningless, at least these people recognized it.
Immediately, Jiang Qi took off the wind towel on his face and ordered: "Daxu order, the whole army will stop five miles away, Zhao Zilong, Xi Zhicai, follow me to meet Your Majesty, Dian Wei will bring the offerings and then wait for instructions, and the rest of the army will be temporarily controlled by Yan Ming."
