The Son of Heaven quickly sat on the Hu bed.

You can see that he likes this new type of seating.

The heel is really a little tired, and it is very uncomfortable for a long time, and this seat is very good. I heard that it was changed from the Houhan Hu bed, and it really has a bit of a doorway.

Sima Zhen writhed happily, his face full of pure happiness.

Shao Xun is already digging toads.

The dignified general, the fierce general of "1,000 to 100,000", will be standing in the mud of the river pond in Hualin Garden, digging a toad hole with a shovel, how funny and funny it is.

Even the guards standing not far away couldn't help but laugh.

Shao Xun glared at them.

He knew these rammers, and the Ye soldiers who had fought the Great Xia Gate with him seemed to have made a victory. Among the forbidden army full of rookies, he can be regarded as a "warrior".

The queen Yang Xianrong slowly paced over, seemed to be very interested in digging the toad, and watched without blinking.

But she was not idle, and said softly: "Eat the king's luck, worry about the king." You are not a general of the Yuefu family now, but a general of the Son of Heaven's army, why do you need to look ahead and look backwards? ”

"I won't betray Sikong." Shao Xun said righteously.

Yang Xianrong chuckled.

"The officials of the Yue Mansion will not think so, and the King of the East China Sea will not think so." Yang Xianrong said.

Shao Xun knew it, of course, but didn't bother to pay attention to it.

In fact, he's really interested in toads right now and wants to dig one up and take a look. The queen can only see but can't eat, what's the point?

"A wise man should plan for a rainy day." Yang Xianrong said: "Actually, you don't need to do anything, just guard the palace with your heart, don't let Xiaoxiao plot to kill Your Majesty." ”

Shao Xun put down the shovel, looked at Yang Xianrong, and asked, "Why is the queen so anxious?" ”

Yang Xianrong was silent for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "The king of the East China Sea plans to abolish the crown prince. ”

"When?" Shao Xun suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and he didn't know any news, which was a sign of marginalization.

"Just a few days." Yang Xianrong sighed and said, "It should be difficult to change." ”

Although the prince is not biological, how many years he has brought him is her biggest reliance. If the crown prince is deposed, then what hope does she have? The new emperor mostly listened to Sima Yue, one day she was given a pot of wine, and she couldn't even make a splash, and no one cared.

No wonder! Shao Xun nodded, and Yang Xianrong was stimulated again.

She is in an unstable mental state now, Shao Xun doesn't want to talk to her more, wait for her to calm down, think about it, and then think about it in the long run.

So he continued digging for toads.

Yang Xianrong saw that he was like a hob meat, and had to come up with a big killing move: "Guangchengyuan is a good place." The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the area is vast. There are both Harada and wheat and Mizusawa to enjoy fish and birds. Even one day, there was a tragedy like a drought in Henan, and it was difficult for Guangchengze to dry up, which could be used to water corn. ”

Shao Xun stopped digging toads.

The queen has indeed done research, and her thinking is also very open-minded, and it is really not easy for a woman to do this.

If the crown prince Sima Qin can ascend the throne in the future, he will not be surprised at all if he can intervene in the government and give orders as the queen mother's sheep.

This woman is more powerful than Concubine Pei, but it's a pity that her situation is too bad, like a caged bird, desperately flapping her wings and making movements, but she can't escape.

Shao Xun's thinking is different from Yang Xianrong's, he thinks more from a military point of view.

Luoyang itself is a large basin surrounded by mountains.

As far as Luonan is concerned, there are generally three roads, all of which have built checkpoints, namely Luonan Three Passes.

Among them, the road due south is relatively the best to take, which is generally a smooth road, and there is only a narrow and cramped place in the middle, that is, the place where Yique Pass is located.

This place is very famous in later generations, because on the mountains on both sides of Yique, a large number of Buddha statues have been carved, that is, the famous Longmen Grottoes.

Shao Xun once had a "wild" idea to lock Luonan three times and let those fools fight with the Huns.

If the Xiongnu wanted to come to Guangchengze, in addition to going over the mountains and mountains, they could only detour to the three counties of Xingyang, Yingchuan and Xiangcheng, that is, take a large arc of almost 270 degrees, bypass the entire mountainous area east of Luoyang, and then kill from the southeast of Guangchengze.

Before the complete occupation of the Luoyang Basin, the Xiongnu would hardly do so.

The mountainous area of western Henan is really not too friendly to the cavalry.

On the other hand, in eastern Henan, the land is flat, and it is most suitable for cavalry galloping. But there are many big families there, Wubao manors are dense, and no matter how powerful the Huns are, they can't be gnawed down in just a few years.

Historically, the eight passes around Luoyang almost did not play a role, and people came and went freely.

To put it bluntly, people still can't do it, they all let people hit near the capital, and people's hearts have long been gone.

On the other hand, in the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi Dynasties, Luoyang was the front line, and the two sides repeatedly fought fiercely. Almost every inch of land was soaked in the blood of Hu and Han warriors - if you want to take a step forward in the mountains of western Henan, you have to exchange it for blood.

The area where Guangchengze is located was known as Ruzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

The eastern capital of the Rujie Degree Envoy generally leads Henan Province (Luoyang Basin and its surroundings) and Ruzhou.

In later generations, it was Ruzhou, Yichuan, Ruyang, Songxian and other places.

The Western Jin Dynasty will only set up a Liang County, the surrounding land belongs to Henan County, Xiangcheng County, is at the junction of two counties and even two states, the population is relatively sparse, and mountains, rivers, lakes, swamps are everywhere, which is not conducive to cavalry driving, but is conducive to agricultural production.

It's almost the size of a county, and Guangchengyuan occupies a large part.

For Shao Xun, who has become Luoyang's "Earth Binding Spirit", it is actually a very good place.

The only drawback is in the east, where the terrain is too exposed, facing the Yuzhou family.

As for Nanyang in the south, there is also a certain threat, but not much.

The local clans, such as the Le clan and the Ying clan, are all self-defended dogs.

The troops of the governor of Wancheng are not much, and more than half of them have been buried during the Zhangchang Rebellion, and now they are all newly recruited, and they are still training, and the defense of the city is acceptable, and the field battle is general.

"The queen has thought carefully, and even considered the great drought." Shao Xun sighed: "In the second year of Yongkang (301), it seems that it has passed? ”

"There was a great drought in July. In October, Taiyuan and other counties were hit by insect plagues again, and the green insects ate more than half of the grass leaves. Yang Xianrong said: "The state has become what it is today, and the drought four years ago is to blame. ”

Drought and locusts will not necessarily completely destroy the lives of the people, because there was more or less surplus food before that, but the drought and insect plague have intensified the contradictions and made the local situation uncontrollable, which is a more terrible thing than natural disasters.

"Indeed, if a man has no foresight, he will have near-term worries." Shao Xun said.

"Before Sikong returns to Beijing, there are some things that can still be done. If he comes back, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns. Yang Xianrong said: "It doesn't cost much to build a garden in Guangcheng Garden. If Shao Qing is willing, he can take the post of general and supervise the construction of this garden. ”

Yang Xianrong really scratched his itch, and Shao Xun couldn't hold it anymore.

"It doesn't cost much", the words are fluttering, but that is from the point of view of the imperial court.

The "small money" in the state treasury may be the family property accumulated by the local tycoon for two or three generations. Moreover, there are a large number of skilled craftsmen in the imperial court, and there are technocrats who are familiar with site selection and design, and this team is not better than your local method to build a dock fort?

But now the time is not very ripe, he doesn't want to make a decision so quickly, and plans to wait and see after Sima Yue returns to Beijing.

By the way, Sima Yue is already in Xuchang.

The vanguard of the Xianbei cavalry, 800 cavalry, also arrived in Yuzhou, led by Sima Liu Kun of Fanyang Palace, and Tian Hui was the deputy - Lao Tian can still "wear guilt and make meritorious service", which is very outrageous.

"Where to go, you can decide for yourself." Yang Xianrong urged again.

Shao Xun was still silent, and even bent down and began to dig out the toad hole.

Yang Xianrong's watery and charming eyes were immediately full of coldness, and his enthusiasm instantly cooled, and he stopped pretending.

She turned around, came to the side of Sima Zhen, the Son of Heaven, and sat down gently.

"Shao Qing is really a genius." Sima Zhen smiled: "Hu bed sits comfortably. I want to order more people to make more money, and distribute the rewards to the ministers and officials. ”

The sheep is suffocated, Your Majesty, you are so strange.

"Your Majesty, Shao Qing is sincere, loyal and brave to the country, in addition to killing the enemy, he also offered strange things, why not reward him?" Yang Xianrong said softly.

Sima Zhen remembered the incident in Hanoi and nodded again and again.

"What should I get as a reward?" He asked.

Yang Xianrong smiled mysteriously, leaned into Sima Xin's ear, and said, "Your Majesty, such a loyal minister will be nineteen years old in the New Year, but he is not married and has no heirs. Serving the court all day long, fighting in all directions, wouldn't it be a pity if one day he died on the battlefield? ”

Sima Zhen sighed, deeply convinced.

He even got up and looked at Shao Xun who was digging for a toad, and his heart became more and more compassionate, as if Shao someone was going to die on the battlefield tomorrow.

"Does the queen have a magic trick?" Sima Zhen asked.

Yang Xianrong secretly said in his heart, since you are so unreasonable, don't blame me.

She calmed down and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, a young hero like Shao Qing must be worthy of the daughter of a famous family." But his family background is a little inferior, but it is a little difficult. ”

In fact, Yang Xianrong is right.

Shao Xun is now the male version of the older leftover woman. I want to sell myself at a high price, but if the high is not low, it will be embarrassing.

It is impossible for the concubines of the big family to be out of the cabinet, and they can only pick up the widow, but it is also quite difficult.

The value of a concubine is greatly reduced, and she is not as good as a widow or a concubine.

As for the small family, he doesn't like it.

To be honest, he doesn't pee and look in the mirror, see what kind of family he has, pick and choose, and in the end he is afraid that he can only marry one in a hurry.

Although Sima Zhen was stupid, he also knew some people who were sophisticated, and after listening to the queen's words, he immediately said: "It's very difficult to be famous, how can this be good?" Sikong said that he would levy the customs, in case ......"

Yang Xianrong nodded, then leaned into Sima Xin's ear and whispered, "There happens to be one person today." ”

"Who?"

"The original Shangshu Ling Leguang was born in the Nanyang clan. His father, Le Fang, once joined the army for Xiahou Xuan, and served in the local and Taiwan pavilions, and left a lot of love. He is also good at talking, and his name is important in all directions, and most people at the time put him and Wang Yifu alongside. Yang Xianrong continued: "Widely killed in Changsha, the imperial court posthumously presented mourning. All the sons have official positions, one daughter is married to the guard of the Wei clan of Anyi, and the other daughter is the princess of Chengdu, but now she is confined in the mansion and is a woman who treats sin. ”

"You mean to pardon Le's sins and make him remarry Shao Xun?" Tianzi's eyes widened and asked, "Can Lejia agree?" ”

The sheep was also a little hesitant. This is the concubine of Nanyang Le's family, and the concubine is completely two levels of things.

After pardoning Le's charge of "conspiracy to commit rebellion", it was indeed difficult to operate, but she really wanted to see what Sima Yue's expression was after Shao Xun married the widow of the king of Chengdu.

Isn't it reluctant to lean over? There are ways to cure you.

Even if you go to Sima Yue to show your loyalty later, will people believe you?

Yang Xianrong wanted to laugh again, there was a kind of prank pleasure, and there was a kind of excitement of death.

She was worried all day long, her nerves were too tense, and the excitement was really pleasant.

"I want to ask Shao Qing what he thinks." The Son of Heaven is a kind person after all, and he didn't "mess around" with the queen, so he immediately got up from the Hu bed and said.

Yang Xianrong's face changed.

Silently thinking in his heart, what if Shao Xun didn't agree? Is it possible to secretly spread rumors? Let's just say that Shao Xun took the initiative to propose marriage?
