Chapter 175: Chang'an, Lintong
On June 26, outside Chang'an City, a huge team was entering the city in an orderly manner.
"Big brother, I remember that the largest palace in Chang'an is not Daming Palace? Why did such a good palace be abandoned? Isn't Daming Palace better than Weiyang Palace? Jia Lian, who was riding on the horse, asked Jia Hui beside him with some doubts.
"When the old ancestors came to Chang'an, although they took the initiative to surrender, not everyone wanted to surrender, and some people wanted to resist to the end and die in battle."
Jia Hui thought about it for a moment and explained to Jia Lian.
"For example, the eunuchs of the Daming Palace, as the domestic slaves of the former Liangchao family, are much more loyal than those princes of the imperial court, and they stubbornly resisted the attack in the Daming Palace for two whole hours, and then they were attacked by the cannons that collapsed the palace wall.
However, at this moment, the fire broke out, and the endless palace instantly turned into a sea of fire, and there was no chance to save it at this time."
"Huh? It's burned." Jia Lian looked regretful.
"Yes, after finding some surviving eunuchs for interrogation, I found out that this was the last holy decree of the Lord of Lianghou, and after leaving this holy decree, the Lord of Lianghou committed suicide in the sea of flowers next to the Taiye Pool
At the same time, it was not only the Daming Palace that was burned down, but also the palaces inherited from the previous dynasty, Taiji Palace, Xingqing Palace, Changle Palace, Gui Palace, Jianzhang Palace and Weiyang Palace and other palaces were all burned by the order of the Lord of Lianghou, it really is. Brutes! ”
Speaking of which, Jia Hui didn't know what to say about him
"Brother Hui, since all the palaces have been burned down, why is it Weiyang Palace that has been rebuilt instead of Daming Palace?" The two cousins of the Shi family, who were following Jia Lian, came over and asked.
"One of the reasons for this is that Daqi was too poor at that time, and natural disasters continued, not only to restore the country's economy and people's livelihood, but also to draw out a large amount of materials to organize the Northern Expedition to continue to fight Mengyuan and continue to bleed
Moreover, the cost of repairing the Daming Palace can be close to the two Weiyang Palaces. And even so, the reconstruction plan of Weiyang Palace was barely started more than ten years after the unification of the world, that is, in the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, and it was still repaired intermittently, and even stopped work for up to three years during the period, and it took a total of 14 years to complete it when Taizong ascended the throne."
Speaking of this, Jia Hui was suddenly stunned.
"However, the long repair time is not completely without benefits, during these hours of shutdown, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have visited all parts of the country to find good materials and good wood, and more carefully polished, and now both the scale and luxury are far beyond the previous generation.
Today's Weiyang Palace has reached the scale of Xingqing Palace back then, but the luxury inside far exceeds that of Taiji Palace. ”
Jia Hui raised the folding fan and pointed to the corner of the palace that loomed in the distance.
In fact, there is another reason, but this thing is not very good in public.
Daming Palace, as a palace that began in Qianliang and ended in Qianliang, completely belonged to the Chao family, the symbolism is too strong, and the cohesion of the remnants of Qianliang is great, and the Chao family's control of this palace is not comparable to Daqi
On the contrary, the Lord of the Cool Queen burned like this, which saved Daqi a lot of trouble.
On the other hand, the palaces such as Taiji Palace, Jianzhang Palace and Weiyang Palace are all palaces inherited from the previous dynasty, especially Weiyang Palace, which is inherited from the former Han Dynasty, and even the bricks and tiles of Daqin are buried in the soil (the former site of Zhangtai Palace).
In general, in the case that all palaces need to be rebuilt, Weiyang Palace is the best choice in terms of symbolic meaning (from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Great Qi Dynasty, all dynasties that lasted for more than a hundred years have this palace, so it also symbolizes the Zhengshuo of China to a certain extent), or practical significance (after the expansion of the previous dynasties, it is also considered a medium-to-upper scale palace in many palaces in Chang'an, and the most important thing is that it saves a lot of money compared to repairing other palaces).
After explaining to a few young boys, Jia Hui didn't pay any attention to them, and ran towards the frame where the second saint was riding.
。。。。。。
"Finally, those two dogs have finally fucking arrived in Chang'an!"
At the foot of Lishan Mountain, in Lintong County.
As early as seven or eight days ago, he and Wei Ci had already assembled their troops to distribute all the food, materials, armor and weapons, and even pocket money, and went down the mountain into zero, and even the remaining livestock were slaughtered, and they ate a good bite before going down the mountain to set things right
It's like a posture of becoming a benevolent if you don't succeed!
But just when they were full of food and drink, they were reduced to zero and went down the mountain to Lintong County in batches, the spies came to report that the Queen Mother was sick!
Their attitude towards the Queen Mother, the biological mother of the former emperor who had no knowledge and could not do anything about the affairs of the Qing monarch back then, was very different from the attitude towards the emperor.
For this poor old woman, the remnants of the East Palace promoted her to the queen mother
What, the Empress Dowager will be renamed after the death of the Empress Taishang, and now she should be called Empress Taishang?
Then let that old thing die
But in this way, the variables seem to have increased a lot
Because no one in the court cares about them, and it doesn't work for them, there is a lack of intelligence sources.
However, it's not that no one is with them, at least the Lintong County Commander is their person, which is why they didn't choose to live in Chang'an but in Lintong County under the Huaqing Palace in Lishan.
After all, everything in Chang'an is expensive, it is not easy to live in a big place, and it is easy to be found by embroidered clothes
Lintong is different, compared with Chang'an, the cost can be saved a lot, and it can last longer!
No way, I really don't have any money!
Where the hell did the fucking guy with the surname Fan go?
Why haven't the boys who followed him come back yet!
The money and grain are about to bottom out, even if the Lintong County Order continues to be greedy for ink food to support these three thousand elites, but only one county, or even the money and grain from the ink, how long can it last?
There's still a lack of intelligence.
They didn't know the itinerary of the two dogs at all, only that they would definitely go to Shanglinyuan to hunt, go to Lishan Hot Springs to soak in hot springs, and go to Lantian Camp for military parades
But when, exactly, I don't know.
What is happening in Weiyang Palace now, and what those two old dogs have decided is now unknown!
Now they can only send spies and assassins to Chang'an City to inquire about information, but in this way, they have to give them funds, and they have to give them, in case they develop an informant again
Another thousand taels of silver were taken out by them, which made the Donggong, which was not rich, even worse.
In fact, Wei Ci and Sun Laodao didn't think about whether to rush into the city directly and kill the two old dogs in Weiyang Palace, but even if they were crazy, they knew that this matter was absolutely impossible.
Although I don't know exactly which guards and direct relatives have come, based on Wei Ci's understanding of the old dog, these three must have sent soldiers and horses from Long Xiang and Feng Xiang.
I don't know the rest of it, but it must not be easy!
Coupled with the 3,000 cavalry with the winged Vermilion Bird Banner and the personal soldiers accompanying the nobles, close to 20,000 elites of the Great Qi!
He has less than 4,000 men to attack the city, and that is to send him to death!
When he talked about the three thousand iron horsemen with flapping wings and vermilion birds, Wei Ci's rare mood fell.
That's the army of Jia Enhou's eldest son, Brother Hun'er!
The young man who followed behind him was a young man with a long master and a short master, and he had become the captain of the Great Qi after destroying the Three Kingdoms.
It's a pity that Brother Hun'er is a sworn friend of the righteous boy, but he can't be used by us.
Thinking of this, Wei Ci couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his right hand involuntarily clenched a pair of short spears that were black and shiny.
That's it, after we wait to set things right, kill the puppet emperor and return to power to the crown prince, I, who is a master, will give up my life to save you!
But before that.
Let the old man try your qualities as a great Qi captain!
"Lao Wei, Lao Wei, what are you laughing at? Let's be serious! Seeing Wei Ci clenching his weapon as he spoke, his face was bitter for a while, tragic for a while, and arrogant for a while, and he became more and more worried about his mental state
"Ah, it's okay, I just remembered Brother Hun"
"Brother Hun? You mean Jia Hui, the eldest son of Jia Enhou? ”
"Yes, I heard from the spies that they saw a cavalry with a flapping Vermilion Bird banner, full of fiery red cotton armor and iron ring arms."
"It's the Suzaku Iron Rider!"
Sun Laodao's pupils shrank, and he instantly thought of the most elite cavalry unit of Great Qi in recent years.
"Yes, as a captain, Brother Hun'er has to accompany him, plus the banner that only belongs to him is the Vermilion Bird Iron Horse." Wei Ci nodded, "But don't worry too much, we are going to start an incident when the puppet emperor and the old dog come to Huaqing Palace, and when the time comes, we will fight in the mountains, no matter how elite the Vermilion Bird Iron Horse is, the war horse will not be able to run."
"Yes." Sun Laodao nodded thoughtfully.
After considering many aspects, they still decided to start an incident in Huaqing Palace.
They didn't know the itinerary of the two dogs at all, only that they would definitely go to Shanglinyuan to hunt, go to Lishan Hot Springs to soak in hot springs, and go to Lantian Camp for military parades
But when, exactly, I don't know.
But it doesn't matter if you know the time or not.
When the puppet emperor and the old dog went to the Lantian camp for a military parade, they were looking for death.
At that time, there were not only nearly 20,000 Shangzhi troops accompanying them, but also nearly 100,000 Lantian battalions ready to go!
They want to regain the throne, not to die!
In the same way, hunting Shanglin Yuan, those two dogs will also take nearly 20,000 people to search the mountains and seas, and they will have more than 3,000 and less than 4,000 people, although in Wei Ci's view, the four rates of the East Palace that he have trained are all brave, but in front of the 20,000 troops of the Shangzhi army, they are also seeking death.
And they gave up the plan to enter Chang'an and wait for the opportunity to attack Weiyang Palace at the beginning, or the same sentence, Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place!
What if they didn't wait for the opportunity because they ran out of money, and they made some trouble and were discovered by the embroidered clothes?
The puppet emperor and the old dog must be so strict during their tour of Xijing that the vigilance must not work!
Although they don't want to admit it, Sun Laodao and Wei Ci both know that there is something wrong with their minds, they become irritable and irritable, and they often go crazy, and those little cubs are too, and they hate the puppet emperor and the old dog to the core, what if they can't bear to kill Weiyang Palace desperately and ruin the plan?
Therefore, the Lishan uprising turned out to be the best plan
In fact, Sun Laodao also wanted to lure the Muguls into the customs to help the East Palace regain the throne, but Wei Ci sternly refused, and even beat him unilaterally
"By the way, Lao Wei, you say, can I give Jia Hui later?"
"Impossible, when he is thirteen, there are few people in the East Palace who can beat him, even the old man has to work hard to suppress him!
Now nearly eight years have passed, and he has been fighting on the battlefield for the past eight years, and his martial arts may not even be able to reach the old man."
"What the hell are you talking nonsense, he is also a child that the old man watched grow up, he is still the child of Jia Enhou, and he is our own person in the old East Palace!"
Sun Laodao looked at Wei Ci with a look of "I'm afraid you have a brain disease" and said.
"This cough cough cough, it's not the old man's, you go on, hey, no." Anyway, he was also one of the best generals in the East Palace, Wei Ci quickly reacted to what Sun Laodao wanted to say, "Do you want Brother Hun'er to be anyway?" ”
"That's right, he is the child that the first emperor watched grow up, he is the eldest son of Jia Enhou, you are still the master who taught him to wield a short spear, and even I taught him his homework by the way
Look, the descendants of the East Palace with red roots and seedlings! And there are 3,000 iron horsemen, and the war is also reconciled, you say, why don't you try to recruit it? Sun Laodao said to Wei as if he had something to do.
"But people follow Chen Jingyuan's kid well, and Chen Jingyuan's kid has been good since he was a child, as long as he waits for Chen Jingyuan to ascend the throne step by step, why take the risk of setting things right with us?
Okay, don't say it again, Jia Hui can't be trusted, don't contact him so as not to startle the snake! ”
It's good for Jia Hui, but the facts are there, there are ready-made, and the glory and wealth that are about to arrive don't want it, why do you want to make more moves to set things right with us?
Looking at Wei Ci's unprecedentedly serious eyes that gradually leaked a fierce light, Sun Laodao, who had experienced the sea of corpses and blood, couldn't help but weaken his legs and swallowed nervously.
"The old man knows, he knows!" In Wei Ci's murderous gaze, Sun Laodao gritted his teeth and assured with difficulty.
"Humph!" Hearing that Sun Laodao was soft, Wei Ci snorted coldly with satisfaction, stood up and walked outside
He has already gone to Lishan with a few boys to collect some game to sell for money for food, and by the way, he will reconnoiter the terrain, but it can't be too late!
The footsteps became farther and farther away, and Sun Laodao, who was sweating profusely, bowed his waist and wore a big mouthful of air
"Qiu Ba, Qiu Ba!" Sun Lao Dao looked frantically in the direction of Wei Ci's disappearance with a blue face, gritted his teeth and scolded in a whisper.
It wasn't until he was almost out of breath that Sun Laodao straightened his waist again and sat down on the futon again.
took out a copper bell from her sleeve, and with a light sound, a few sucks, a woman with a delicate face but a little silly walked in.
"Thirty mother, you come here." Before Li Sanniang could greet her, Sun Laodao couldn't wait to wave at her and signal her to come over.
"Yes, Master Sun." is different from the childlike state when she was by Cui He's side, Li Sanniang at this time is very clean and neat.
After Sun Laodao said a few words in her ear, Li Sanniang suddenly looked at Sun Laodao with a look of surprise as if he was holding a wisdom bead.
No, why did the captain follow you to death?
Cheap or not!
"Do you understand? Someone who understands and takes you with you. No, the three of you are not safe, you go out to find Hua Wuniang again, and let her also take her team with you to Chang'an to find Jia Hui. Still doing something, go quickly! ”
"Ah, yes!" Frightened by Sun Laodao's serious tone, Li Sanniang stood up and saluted Sun Laodao urgently, and left in a hurry.
"Whew"
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the more he thought about it in his heart, the more Sun Laodao felt that Jia Hui was a good move anyway.
"First Emperor, bless me and others to overthrow the puppet emperor and that old dog and succeed anyway."
Sun Lao Dao sat on the futon, looking up at the portrait of the first emperor and muttering to himself.
It's been a long wait, it's been a long wait!
