Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Past of Zhongxingyue

On autumn nights, the wind blows on the grassland like ghosts crying. The brazier inside the tent was crackling, and the crackling pine blocks were fragrant with pine oil.

Cow dung is burned on the grassland, and Da Dan naturally can't smell cow dung. As a result, the pine wood, which is still expensive for the grassland, has become a large single chopping wood.

Zhong Xingyue sniffed the smell of pine blocks, he liked the smell. This reminded him of the time when he was in Chang'an, and there was never a shortage of incense in Weiyang Palace. The refreshing fragrance has not been smelled since I left Chang'an. When I think about it now, I really miss it. Twenty years have passed in the blink of a finger.

Twenty years of life in the desert steppe eroded his body early. His back was stiff and his hair was gray. There is a tooth in the mouth that has been loosened, said the spy who came back from Chang'an. Cang Jingkong's old guy is still alive, and he is actually full of children and grandchildren. I heard that now I take my little grandson around the Yunjia Zhuangzi every day, like an old dog patrolling the sheepfold.

The same person has a different fate, and he came to the desert grassland by himself with a thought. Maybe the old guy came to the grassland, and he had already turned into a dry bone. Now living a leisurely life in Chang'an, it may be himself. Dou Yifang, it's all you who hurt the old man like this. Even if you fight for your life, you will overturn the inheritance of your children and grandchildren to the ground. The Great Huns are the best carrier of their own revenge.

Through this vehicle, let your children and grandchildren fall into the deepest fear. One day, your family's great Han will be destroyed because of me.

The light of the brazier kept beating in his eyes, like two ghost fires. Looking a little crazy, the maid on duty finally arrived. As if hiding from the plague, the fruit fled out like a rabbit after the salute.

"Smack!" A wooden boil burst open in the brazier, and Zhongxingyue's body straightened. It seems that I had a dream just now, and now I remember that this is in the account of Da Danyu. Keep your head up. I saw Yi Zhi holding the wine bowl and looking at him with interest.

"The slave was rude, and just now I thought about some old things in Handi. The spirit is inevitably a little trance-like, hoping for forgiveness. "People who have lived in Weiyang Palace since childhood, etiquette is already deep in their bones. The master talked to the slave, and he dared to be in a trance. If it was in Weiyang Palace, I was afraid that it would have been dragged out and killed.

"Oh. Handi, Chang'an, Weiyang Palace! Let's talk about this single Yu, what is Weiyang Palace. What kind of prosperity Chang'an is, I used to hear the envoys talk about it. But after all, I didn't have a chance to see him, and you have nothing to do today, you can give this single Yu a good talk. ”

Yi Zhi held the wine bowl obliquely, with a leisurely expression. Since he was a child, he had heard about how rich the Han people were, and they would grow grass in the ground. Then the grass grew into edible food, and Yi Zhixian couldn't figure it out. How did the Han people learn such advanced livelihood skills?

Chang'an, a distant city. The envoy came back and said that the walls of the city were as high as a mountain, and that they stood on the shore of Weishui like a giant beast. It is said that millions of people lived there, and thousands of merchants sold goods from all over the country and even from the far west.

The people there eat grain every day and rarely eat beef and mutton. And they had countless iron pots, and never used stone pots to cook and eat. Each house has an iron pot. How rich that must be!

and the Weiyang Palace that has appeared in his dreams countless times. Yi Zhi has imagined countless times what Weiyang Palace is like. Are there many large tents piled on top of each other? Heard. The palaces of the Han people have tiles on them.

I have seen a lot of tiled houses in the Han land, and even the county government has not seen how tall they are. Why did the envoy come back and say that the palace was unusually tall and magnificent. The main hall called the Xuan Room can pour in thousands of people at a time. There were thousands of people, and the entire Huns did not have such a big tent. How many cowhides do you need!

I have nothing to do today, so I just listened to Zhongxingyue tell me about Chang'an City. Weiyang Palace, what is it? See if what you dream is correct.

"The slave's hometown is near Chang'an, and his family has been poor since he was a child. The son of the chief of the security family wanted to enter the palace, and the chief of the security guard was reluctant to replace me with a famous name. Don't be afraid to say it big or laugh. At that time, the chief of the security department gave my family a load of wheat as compensation.

As soon as I had a load of wheat, my family sold me this doll, when I was only four years old. The slave still remembers that day I was holding the corner of my mother's clothes. I cried and shouted to prevent that vicious person from taking me away, but my mother pushed me away ruthlessly. I cried, it was useless. The vicious mountain picked me up and threw me away, and I was thrown into the carriage.

From the beginning to the end, my mother and father never shed a single tear, as if I was born to give them a load of wheat. From then on, I had no support and had to live on my own. After entering the palace and purifying the body, I have to learn a lot of etiquette and various rules every day.

The slightest mistake will result in a beating. You can't trust anyone because anyone around you can betray you. Sometimes, selling you for a very low price or even a compliment.

I was very well-behaved and rarely beaten, and my friends were jealous of me and bullied me. I was so anxious that I was bullied, so I picked up a rock and hit the guy who bullied me. To my surprise, no one dared to bully me again. They were all afraid of me, and the man I beat seemed to be scared every time he saw me.

I've known since then that if you want people to like you. You have to smile at someone, and if they are afraid of you, hit them in the nose. Belch......! The minion digressed, please forgive the sin. ”

"It's okay, you go on. This is only willing to listen to your story, which is very interesting and fascinating. If you want people to like you, you will smile at them. If a man is afraid of you, hit him on the nose. That's right, but it seems to us Huns. If people are afraid of you, you must show your sword. You only hit people, and when I was five years old, I killed the son of a nobleman with my own hands......! You go on, and Ben Shan listens. Yi Zhixian seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and waved his hand to order Zhong Xingyue to continue.

"No! Since Da Dan Yu likes to listen, the slave will say that Da Dan Yu listens. Later, I entered Weiyang Palace. At that time, it happened to be Empress Lu in power. I was young and had to do the lowest jobs. I was tired to death every day, and I was always reprimanded. If you make a mistake, you may even be beaten to death. Luckily, I'm smart. I avoided several mortal encounters.

In a flash, I died after Lu. Zhou Bo led his troops into Chang'an City. Kill the people of the Lu family cleanly. At that time, I was really afraid, and killing people was like killing chickens. There were countless palace attendants who suffered with them, and those soldiers were killed. They don't bother to care whether you are from the Lu family or not, as long as you touch the head, it will be a knife.

It was really miserable at that time, and then there was the new emperor's nemesis Dou Yifang, my life's nemesis. became the new queen. Years of progression, until I took the job.

Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, was the only remaining brother of Emperor Wen. Someone accused Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, of rebellion. Dou Yifang felt that the king of Huainan had great ambitions and was still young. In the future, it will be a big trouble for the prince. So I was already a young eunuch and sent me to assassinate the king of Huainan.

Out of nowhere, she got a poison called a thousand machines, and if she ate it, people would be stupid. The stomach and intestines are clogged and I can't eat anything at all. Poor Liu Chang, starved for more than 20 days before he died. The tragedy in the meantime is simply miserable.

But what the slave never expected was that he thought that he would be promoted and make a fortune when he came back. In fact, the queen mother. and has given me many rewards. He also gave me a fat difference, and even rewarded me with a palace maid to make a counter-food.

Little did I know that just a year later. Emperor Wen didn't know where to hear the wind. said that I killed King Huainan, and at that time, the minions also became a figure with a head and a face in the palace. If the empress hastily executed the minions, it would arouse the suspicion of Emperor Wen. So, this poisonous woman came up with the idea of marrying me to the Mobei grassland.

The later things are big and simple, and I can be regarded as knowing. I came to the grassland and was appreciated by Lao Shan Yu. Assisted by Lao Shan Yu. It has been appreciated by you again to have today. Now that the slave is close to knowing the destiny of heaven, looking back on his life can be regarded as ups and downs. Zhongxingyue's eyes rarely showed a hint of weakness.

"Hahaha. You are a gift from the god of Kunlun to the Great Huns. You are much stronger than the Han man who came with him, and I can't find where that old woman has gone now. But now you remain in my tent. Together with this single unit, he planned the highest military campaign of the Xiongnu.

You Han people have a saying, called Saiong loses his horse and knows whether he is blessed. It's not necessarily a bad thing for you to come to the Great Huns, there are the bravest soldiers here. There are the most loyal subordinates. My command can stir up the desert steppes. As long as you are with Ben Danyu, you can see the day when the Han people surrendered. Yi Zhixian said very confidently, he has always been so confident, God gave birth to himself. It was to lead the Great Huns and rob those weak Han people. Loot their grain. The livestock, the women, the wine, and everything about them.

The Han people are sheep, and the Huns are wolves. This is the concept that the military minister Shan Yu instilled in him since he was a child, and it is natural for wolves to eat sheep. That's why, the Han people can grow food in the soil. And the reason why the Huns can only eat meat, wolves only eat meat and do not eat grass.

Yi Zhixian felt that he was too addicted to the speech, and this paragraph was said impassionedly, which was really enjoyable.

"Now you talk about how rich and prosperous Chang'an City of the Han people is. How tall and magnificent Weiyang Palace is. Yi Zhixian is still very curious about Chang'an, and the city that often haunts him in his dreams always appears vaguely in his dreams.

"Chang'an City is on the shore of Weishui, and there are countless ditches in the city. There has always been a saying that eight rivers surround Chang'an, and as Da Shan Yu said, there are more than one million people living there. All over the Han Dynasty, as well as merchants from the Western Regions, gathered here.

They peddled their wares on the streets and in the shops, and every day the two markets were rubbing shoulders with each other. The crowds are denser than the grandest event on the prairie. ”

"Oh! So, Chang'an City is very rich and rich? Yi Zhi's slanted eyes lit up, and he felt that he must go to Chang'an in this life. Of course, he is not going to travel. Instead, go to robbery. It's a big regret in my career not to grab a grab in such a rich place.

"Of course, Chang'an City is the richest place in the Han Dynasty. Taxes account for one-third of the country's total, far from the northern frontier we have plundered. "Zhong Xingyue's words are full of temptation, when you point out to a wolf that there are sheep in the distance. The wolf's eyes must have been full of longing.

Sure enough, Yi Zhi listened leisurely. I can't wait to put on my wings now and go to Chang'an to grab a handful.

"Not to mention the Weiyang Palace!" Zhongxingyue was very satisfied with Yi Zhixian's performance, and it was good that the wolf was greedy. In this life, he wants to lead Yi Zhi obliquely to the Chang'an City of his dreams. Maybe he wasn't old enough at that time to be able to go back to Chang'an with the Hun Iron Cavalry. Or perhaps, Cang Jingkong was not dead at that time. I seem to be able to drink with him, I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, I hope this old guy lives hard. He still has revenge and has not yet avenged, he can't just die.

"If Chang'an City is the crown of the Han Dynasty, then Weiyang Palace is the most brilliant pearl in the crown. There are countless tall and gorgeous palaces, countless riches and endless beauties. Every day, there are many beauties collected from all corners of the Han Dynasty into the Weiyang Palace.

Da Dan Yu is playing ten virgins a day, and he can't play it. Even if it is a woman with the same posture as Guo'er, there are many in Weiyang Palace. "Wealth and beauty are the two things that can most seduce people, or rather, the most seducing men. I didn't see Yi Zhixi's mouth, and saliva was about to flow.

"That one called the Xuan Room can really accommodate two thousand people?" Yi Zhixian didn't believe the envoy's words, how much cowhide was needed for such a large tent. Could it be that the Han people's cattle are particularly large? I haven't seen any different species of cattle in Handi!

"Two thousand is an exaggeration, but more than 1,000 is still fine. There are 439 marquis of the Han Dynasty, plus the clan relatives surnamed Liu, and the vassal kings of various places. There are also courtiers such as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and there are so many people when the court meeting is held.

This kind of pilgrimage is only held once or twice a year. Many times, the vassal kings preferred to stay in their fiefdoms and were reluctant to enter Chang'an. On the contrary, those marquis like to stay in Chang'an. is reluctant to go to his own fiefdom, and the reason is that the descendants can be officials. And the princes are basically like that, and they don't want to be officials. Who dares to give the right to the prince who rules the party.

The Rebellion of the Seven Kings was a bloody example, and the current court is guarding against the princes. I heard that the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The push order is being implemented, and it won't be many years before it looks. There will be more and more princes, and they will become less and less valuable. ”

Zhongxingyue's thinking today is more divergent, and he actually said that the Han Dynasty has gone up.

Yi Zhixian listened with relish, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he heard the Han princes. "Tui En Ling, hehe, it's not just that the Han wants to guard against the princes, but also our Great Huns. (To be continued......)
