01 A splash of wealth
"The foolish emperor marries a bride!"
With the frolic of children on the street, the gloom of Luoyang City in the early winter has decreased a little, and people's faces have a little more smiles.
However, this smile is not out of blessing, but ridicule and ridicule, and even more to see the appearance of a good show, with disdain and contempt between the eyebrows.
After all, ten years after Sima Yan's death, based on the wealth accumulated in Taikang's prosperous life, it was okay for his idiot Sima Zhen to be in charge of the world.
However, his queen Jia Nanfeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after Sima Yan's death, he became a master of government affairs, and deliberately got rid of the prince Yang Jun, the empress dowager Yang Zhi, the king of Runan, the old minister Wei Qian, the king of Chu Sima Wei and other old ministers and ministers who hindered her autocracy, and played this foolish emperor Sima Cheng between applause...... Make a mess of the court.
The princes everywhere are ready to move, they can't bear this breath, and they want to fight for the power of the world from the hands of the fool emperor, and everyone is surprisingly unanimous in the matter of "abolishing Jia first and returning the imperial power to the Sima family".
Led by the emperor's uncle Sima Lun, under the banner of "Qing Jun's side, the government returns to the dynasty", he finally led his troops into the Luoyang Palace in early May to arrest the queen Jia Nanfeng and her cronies, ending the decade of debauchery and disorderly government.
But how can the king of a country not have a queen?
Sima Lun's confidant Sun Xiu recommended his brother's granddaughter Yang Xianrong to be the queen.
Marriage was used to strengthen the foundation of this faction.
"Who knows if there will be another Jia Hou?"
"Where did the sheep come from?"
"Is it as ugly as Queen Jia?"
"You're a fool, aren't you?"
"What is Sima Lun going to do again?"
The discussion on the streets and alleys of "......" has not stopped, and everyone is also very curious about who the new queen who entered the palace today is.
The emperor's marriage is naturally a first-class liveliness, and the people look forward to it.
A noisy celebration can always dilute the panic caused by the palace change, and it is also one of the purposes of Sima Lun and Liu Xiu.
As soon as the gate of Luoyang City is opened in the past few days, a large number of people will pour in.
In addition to the relatives of the Sima royal family who came from various feudal territories to watch the ceremony, there were also many envoys from neighboring countries to give gifts.
With the arrival of these people in Luoyang City, it has led to a lot of trade.
For a while, people of all races and colors were bustling, and it did bring some vitality to this slightly cold November.
What's more, the Western Jin Dynasty's folk customs were open, the government decrees were relaxed, and people of all ethnic groups mixed with each other, even the strong Khitans, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Di, Qiang and other ethnic groups were also very common, they traded with the Han people, and the intermarriages settled down in the Central Plains.
The afterglow of the Taikang prosperous era is still continuing, and the lives of the people are still relatively stable and rich.
Yangfu is located on Suzaku Street, not far from the Imperial Palace, across the street.
The Praetorian Guards and the royal greeting party took control of the area early, but they still couldn't resist the lively hearts of the people, and there were people everywhere they could, even the brave, standing on the roofs and trees.
Many nearby restaurants, inns and shops also used this as a reason to attract business, and also sold "location fees" and made a lot of money.
In the crowd, there are several tall men eating and drinking in the nearby wonton shop, and they are also listening carefully to the chatter of the surrounding diners.
"Don't you know who Yang Xianrong is?" An old man at the next table who was drinking wonton soup sighed slightly, "Taishan County Yang's family, General Yanghu always knows." ”
"The founding general, his sister is still Queen Jin...... It's a pity that he died a little early......" said the man at the table in coarse cloth in a low voice.
"Isn't it, otherwise there is something to do with Queen Yang...... cough cough cough ......" probably knowing that he was speechless, the old man coughed lightly a few times before continuing: "This sheep Xianrong is the daughter of the sheep family, just after the end of the war. Don't look at your young age, you're really smart and beautiful......"
"There are a lot of noble girls in Luoyang City, why haven't you heard the name of Yang Xianrong?"
She also moved from the ancestral house of the Yang family in Taishan County, Yanzhou a few years ago, and grew up in the ancestral house since she was a child, and was brought up by Xiahou, the wife of Yanghu. Xiahou knows, right? She is the sister of Cao Cao's wife...... Tell me, this sheep is an ordinary noblewoman? Tut-tut, with this background of life, the current emperor is really wronged...... Not only is he old, but he is also a ...... "......The wonton soup is too hot, and some words can't be spoken."
However, all the listeners already understood and nodded secretly.
"Why did a noble girl from such a background get married?"
"Tut-tut, you don't understand this." The old man is another unfathomable look, "Yang Xianrong's maternal grandfather Sun Yi Ke and Sun Xiu are brothers, and Sun Xiu is now a celebrity in front of Prince Sima Lun, so naturally they want to support each other......"
"Got it, got it...... What a shame......"
"Not necessarily, if the little woman is willing...... Who wouldn't want to be a queen? ”
There are more and more people involved in the discussion in the wonton shop, which makes the shop owner make everyone quieter, constantly add wonton soup to the diners, and let the young guys quickly add firewood to the fire, taking advantage of the large number of people today, cook a few more bowls of small wontons to make more money.
The tall men asked for a few bowls of small wontons and beef in sauce, filling their stomachs and coming to their senses.
One of the teenagers asked, "What's so good about being a queen?" Queen Jia has such a big power, isn't this also given to death by poisonous wine. ”
"Hey, you don't understand that." The old man looked at the people, "Outlander? ”
"Xiangyang is here." The other, slightly older man, glanced at the man sitting next to him before answering.
The man was dressed in gray cloth, and even when he was sitting, he could tell that he was a tall and extremely muscular person, but he just lowered his head and scooped up a small wonton and put it in his mouth, and he didn't seem to care about the topic.
"There is a legend, Xu Zhenren...... Xu Zhenren, you know? "The old man still knows a lot of things, and when he sees someone asking questions, he prefers to talk about gossip.
"What Xu Zhenren?" The boy asked.
"It's Xu Shenxian." Someone around has already added.
"Oh oh, that fortune teller is a special spirit, what kind of Dongshan Xiaoyao Immortal or something?" The young man grinned, "Didn't this person go to be a god a long time ago, saying that he couldn't find it, and I still want to find him to tell his fortune." ”
"How can you, an ordinary citizen, meet Xu Zhenren." Another diner laughed and knocked on the table, "Besides, people only calculate fortunes for honorable people like the emperor and queen, and even if you have more money, they won't calculate it for you." ”
"Oh, okay." The young man glanced at the man next to him who was eating a small ravioli, and did not speak again.
The old man continued: "When the first emperor was seriously ill, Xu Zhenren counted it out, and the current emperor must have a second queen, and he is still the life of 'a phoenix for a thousand years', which is unspeakably expensive. Later, he had been secretly searching, and it was not until three months ago that he found out that this woman was Yang Xianrong. Fortunately, I just found out, otherwise I would have killed Empress Jia's people. ”
"So, she was destined to be the queen? It's a bit mysterious. Everyone didn't believe it, and someone asked.
"Xu Zhenren calculated, can you not believe it?" The old man laughed, "Xu Zhenren learned from the three Qingdao people, and that person is a god who knows five hundred years above and five hundred years on the bottom, so it's amazing." ”
"That sheep Xianrong agreed to be the queen? She didn't know that the emperor was ...... Ahem, ahem, why did you agree? ”
"Can you not say yes? I heard that her grandfather brought 500 Praetorian Guards to her house, and it was a huge ...... So, even if you don't agree, you can't do it, what is this called? The phoenix's fate is hard to disobey! ”
"As I said, three or four months ago, my nephew told me that he was going to go out, and it turned out that he was going to Taishan County."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also remembered, it was early in the morning, I just entered the city, and I watched the Praetorian Guards go out, and I wondered if I was going to kill anyone?"
"Really? If you marry a sheep and sacrifice your face, won't you be able to be an emperor......"
"Silence and silence!"
