Chapter 61: The Son of Heaven Sits in the Ming Hall
Coming out of the White Tiger View, Liu Hong only felt that the warmth within the five bodies and limbs seemed to be inexhaustible, and his hearing and eyesight seemed to be much sharper than before, and he had such an effect in just a few months, and he felt more and more that this Taoist was really remarkable, and it seemed that the theory of immortality was not completely false.
Outside the White Tiger Temple, Zhang Rangzheng was still waiting with a group of yellow gates, and Wang Yue, who escorted Liu Hong, left without knowing when, although this Wang Yue had some courage, but he usually acted not respectfully, Liu Hong was not surprised, and when he needed it, he would always appear, and he didn't say much at this time, and walked straight to where Bu Yuan was.
"Holy Lift." Zhang Rang shouted at this time, and the sixteen small yellow doors lifted the chariot, and the palace maids holding the brocade fan and the canopy behind them slowly followed, and the guards of Jin Wuwei held their blades and slowly followed the chariot majestically.
Liu Hong sat on top of the chariot, still thinking about what he had just learned in the view, that is, the matter of immortality, taking the pill internally and refining the true qi externally, which is enough to live forever for 800 years, but Liu Hong doesn't believe it very much, he is also a self-aware emperor, knowing that his own intelligence is not the best choice, not to mention Gaozu and Guangwu, that is, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan, and Emperor Ming are far inferior, and talent is only the choice of the middle.
However, it is much better than Qin II, inside and outside the court, although there are unsatisfactory points, but in general, it can still meddle in one or two, maintain the prestige of the Han Empire, and maintain the Liu family's Jiangshan Sheji.
However, Liu Hong already felt the weakness of his body, and he even felt that he might die soon, but at this time, he did not have an adult prince, Wang Fu and others, the crime was great, and the crime of the He family was not small!
The emperor's chariot walked in the palace under the escort of Jin Wuwei, and the palace people saw the honor guard guarding the Son of Heaven, and knelt down and saluted, with a look of awe and fear more than before.
They are all at the bottom of the palace food chain, and they are more sensitive to changes in power than anyone else, although Liu Hong has really controlled the palace for a long time, but in fact, there has not been much change in the power structure.
For example, in the palace, it is said that the emperor is respected, but the queen can actually fight against the emperor in the palace, which is the reason for the Han system, the emperor needs to rely on relatives to check and balance the court, and the queen can also rely on relatives and the emperor to check and balance each other.
And the palace is huge, and there is no need for production, so it is naturally a pattern of a small world.
The imperial palace of Luoyi is divided into two palaces in the south and north, between the two palaces are connected by a compound road covered with a roof, the north and south are seven miles long, the so-called compound road, is three roads in parallel, the middle one, is the emperor's exclusive royal road, and the two sides are the roads taken by the ministers and waiters.
There is also a guard every ten steps in the palace, two compartments stand sideways, very mighty, the north gate of the south palace and the south gate of the north palace are opposite, that is, the poem says that "the two palaces look at each other from afar, the double que is more than 100 feet", the whole palace plane clearly shows a "Lu" character shape.
Nangong existed before the Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the new Zhou City, after the Qin Emperor destroyed the Zhou Dynasty to unify the world, this city was sealed to Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei carefully managed, so that the scale of this city is majestic, magnificent and magnificent.
Luoyang, the capital of Gaozu at the beginning, continued to use this city, and continued to repair, so that it maintained a prosperous scene, to Emperor Guangwu re-established the Han Dynasty after a comprehensive renovation, officially as a palace.
There are four gates of the same name in the south and north of the palace city, and the two sides of the gate are expected to be the Suzaku Gate, the east is the Canglong Gate, the north is the Xuanwu Gate, and the west is the White Tiger Gate.
The Xuanwu Gate of the South Palace and the Suzaku Gate of the North Palace are connected by the double road, and the Suzaku Gate of the South Palace is connected to the Pingcheng Gate as the south main gate of the Imperial Palace and goes directly to the outside of the city.
Because the emperor travels through the Vermilion Bird Gate a lot, so the gate is the most noble, and the building is also extraordinarily majestic and magnificent, the Yanshi who is far away 45 miles away looks at the Vermilion Bird Gate from afar, and it is like connecting with the sky, which can be called the wonder of Luoyi.
The south palace is the place where the emperor and the group of officials discuss the government, the building layout is neat and orderly, the palace pavilions are lined up one after another, the main palace is located on the central axis of the north and south, from north to south in turn: Sima Gate, Duan Gate, but not the door, but not the palace, Zhanghua Gate, Chongde Palace, Zhongde Palace, Qianqiu Long Live Hall and Pingshuo Palace.
There are two rows of symmetrical palace buildings on the east and west sides of the central axis of the palace, and the two rows on the west side are arranged in turn from south to north, and the east row is Hongde Gate, Mingguang Palace, Xuanshu Palace, Chengfu Palace, Jiade Gate, Jiade Palace, Yutang Palace, Xuande Palace, Jiande Palace; The west row is the Yuntai Palace, the Xianqin Palace, the Hanzhang Palace, the Yang'an Palace, the Yuntai, the Lantai, the Pavilion, the Changqiu Palace, and the West Palace.
There are two rows on the east side, and the west row is the Golden Horse Palace, the Bronze Horse Palace, the Respect Law Palace, the Zhangde Palace, the Lecheng Gate, the Lecheng Palace, the Wende Hall and the East Palace; The east row is the middle of the service, the Qingliang Palace, the Phoenix Palace, the Yellow Dragon Palace, the Shou'an Palace, the Bamboo Palace, the Chengfeng Hall and the East View.
The four rows of palaces on both sides of the central axis are parallel to the central axis, making the buildings on the central axis more prominent and majestic, and the five rows of buildings in the north and south can be divided into eight rows if they are arranged horizontally according to the direct angle with the central axis.
In this way, there are straight roads in the front and back of each palace building to the left and right to communicate with the other palaces. Therefore, if you look down at the ground of Nangong, you will see a lattice-shaped layout, which shows the regular and symmetrical style of the building.
The north palace is mainly the palace city where the emperor and his concubines live, the status is more important than the south palace, so the building is extremely luxurious, there is a person named Liang Hong when Emperor Zhang, once he and his wife Meng Guang passed by Luoyi, saw the magnificent and magnificent situation of the capital palace, and thought of the pain and endless heavy labor of the servants, so he wrote a "song of five fathoms".
The lyrics say: "陟比北邙兮, 噙! Gu Zhan Emperor Jingxi, oh! Gong Que Cui Weixi, oops! The people are tired, oops! Liao Liao Weiyangxi, oh!", Emperor Zhang saw that he naturally ordered the arrest of Liang Hong, and Liang Hong changed his name and surname from then on, fled east to Qilu, and went into seclusion.
The palace of the north palace is less than the south palace, and the building does not have the regularity and symmetry of the south palace, and the buildings located on the central axis are: Wen Yu Palace, Anfu Palace, Hehuan Palace, Deyang Gate, Deyang Palace, Xuanming Palace, Shuoping Department, Pinghong Palace.
There are only half rows of buildings in the west of the central axis, from south to north are: Chongde Palace, Chongzheng Palace, Yongle Palace, there are two gates in the south of Chongde Palace, East Gold Merchant, West Shenhu.
There are two views in the south of the two gates, the east increases the joy view, the west white tiger view, there are two rows of buildings in the east of the central axis, from the south to the north respectively: the west is the Tianlu Palace, the Zhangtai Palace, the Hande Palace, the Shou'an Palace, the Zhangde Hall and the Chongde Palace, the east is the Yongning Palace, the Yingchun Palace, the Yanxiu Palace, the Anchang Palace, the Gyeongbok Palace and the Yong'an Palace.
The distance from the White Tiger Temple to the Chongde Hall where Liu Hong now lives is not long, Liu Hong finally returned to his dormitory, and the step was gently lowered, and the Son of Heaven once again set foot on the land that he had not yet been able to truly rule.
"Your Majesty returns to Luan." With the shouting of the attendants outside the hall, such a sound like a trumpet sounded on all sides of the Chongde Hall again.
For such a scene, Liu Hong was already commonplace, he understood that this was part of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and slowly walked up the white marble steps in front of the Chongde Palace.
"Your Majesty, you're back." A small yellow door walked out of the Qingliang Palace, he was wearing a round-necked robe of water lake blue, covered with a jet-black gauze coat, and trotted out of the Qingliang Hall with a black gauze hat on his head.
Liu Hong raised his eyes to look at him, and nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, it's not a slave and maid talking nonsense, the old way is also a little too much, even if it is a medicine refining preaching, you shouldn't miss the time of Your Majesty's meal, what kind of situation is this, Your Majesty's dragon body, it's not okay to be hungry......" The eunuch's mouth chattered endlessly, he would talk about the old way for a while, and then talk about Wang Yue's disrespect, and bent down with both hands to take Liu Hong's right hand from Zhang Rang's arm and lead the emperor to the Chongde Palace.
In the regular servant, its rank is a thousand stones, and then increased to more than two thousand stones, there is no number, the Ming Emperor is set to be four people, and most eunuchs hold this position, such as Emperor Shun, Emperor Zhang, and Emperor He, Cao Teng, Zheng Zhong, Cai Lun are all moved from the small yellow gate to the middle of the permanent servant.
During the reign of Emperor An, Empress Hexi Deng was in the court, and the eunuchs were appointed and given important responsibilities, and from then on, the eunuchs in this position could dominate the world, and the number of members increased from four to ten.
Now the extension of Liu Hong's power is the ten permanent servants, and the ten permanent servants are all promoted by Xiaohuangmen, and the eunuchs in the palace all take this as their goal.
The current Xiaohuangmen of the Chongde Hall is a eunuch with lofty ideals, and the dignified eunuch in front of him is Sun Zhang, who is currently trusted by Liu Hong.
He is also currently the most likely to be promoted to the middle of the permanent servant, and the relationship with Zhang Rang is also very good, this person is exquisite, very good at being a person, not only before the ten permanent servants of the two Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang two bigwigs are also served very properly, that is, the queen He Mi is also a drop of water, he is responsible for the affairs of the Chongde Palace, whether it is the emperor Liu Hong or the queen He Mi are very satisfied.
"What's going to eat tonight?" Liu Hong suddenly stopped and asked, this question was naturally Sun Zhang, who was accompanying him.
Sun Zhang heard this, a little confused, according to the practice of the last three years, he took over the emperor from the small yellow door of the Chongde Palace, and after returning to the Chongde Palace, the emperor was guided by him to eat, after the meal, Liu Hong would read a book for a while and then go to bed, very regular.
Liu Hong never asked him what dishes he ate, nor did he comment on the dishes, but he just read them casually according to the list, and ordered the attendants to fetch them for the emperor, so the emperor's question today made him a little unable to react.
However, Sun Zhang is naturally not a straw bag, and he immediately reported a string of dish names.
"A cold dish with jade mixed with melon, a hot dish with honey and jade fried meat, the staple food is fried steamed buns, and the porridge is corn porridge."
When Liu Hong heard this, he didn't know whether he was going to say it or not, and he didn't like the appetite, because in this era, there was no rich food in later generations.
Liu Hong walked into the Chongde Palace, he has lived in this palace for many years, and he is very familiar with it, and the attendants have already arranged the dinner plates.
The emperor sat down at the table, Liu Hong was a little dissatisfied with eating, but then Sun Zhang immediately ordered someone to serve another meal with a very discerning eye, and after a while, the attendants served a roasted crispy fragrant chicken and a few baskets of steamed buns with different fillings.
Liu Hong is not a picky eater, but Sun Zhang's careful service still makes his mood inexplicably happy, Liu Hong has already considered adding Sun Zhang as a regular servant, becoming a ten-standing servant, and becoming one of the top power figures in the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, what are you reading tonight?" After Liu Hong tasted the chicken casually, he felt full and was not eating, at this time, Sun Zhang called the palace people to clean up and clean up, so he hurried back to ask the emperor, according to Liu Hong's habit, when he rested in the Chongde Palace, he had to read a book for a while before going to bed and then rest.
As for being at the queen's place and other beauties, Sun Zhang didn't know, but Liu Hong hadn't been to the queen's place for a long time, and he used to go once a month, and since Zhao Zhong was removed by the eldest princess in the great Changqiu, Liu Hong didn't even go there once for a few months.
"I haven't finished reading half of "Romance of Qin", so let's take it out." This is one, from the Yan Kingdom, who wrote it no one knows, but it is one of the golden books sold with the caravan of the Yan Kingdom, the thousand gold books are a complete set of books, all the subsets of the scriptures and histories, and the monthly bibliography is different, this set of "Romance of Qin" is written about those things of the Great Qin Empire, since the beginning of Qin Xiaogong, since the death of Qin, but the bibliography is only out of the era of King Qin Huiwen, and it is also the episode that Liu Hong is most interested in, the second episode of "Romance of Qin".
For King Qin Huiwen, Liu Hong is very interested, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State has entered a new era, at this time, the Qin State, on the stage of the Warring States Period, has stood up not to be underestimated by other countries.
King Huiwen of Qin killed Shang Ying as soon as he came to power, and at the same time firmly continued Shang Ying's method, which provided imagination space for changes in Qin's politics, and internal and external enemies moved from waiting and watching to impatient.
At the beginning of the second episode, a bloody storm was brewing, King Qi and Wei invited Qin Huiwen to watch the ceremony, and King Qin Huiwen turned the two kings into the kings of the three kingdoms, and proposed to attend the ceremony of the three kingdoms in Xuzhou in person.
This extraordinary move brought about many crises, first the king of Wei sent the dead soldiers to rob and kill them halfway, and then the king of Wei coerced Wei Shu to assassinate his husband King Qin Huiwen at the wedding, and at the same time, the old clan of Ganlong Duzhi conspired with Wei and instigated the Yiqu army to besiege Xianyang, with the intention of establishing a new monarch and abolishing the new law of Shang Ying.
However, after King Qin Huiwen made up his mind, he did not mess up, opened his bow left and right inside and outside, and cut through the chaos with a quick knife, which not only paralyzed the Qi-Wei alliance, lifted the Yiqu military disaster, but also eradicated the restoration conspiracy of the old family of Ganlong in one fell swoop.
The increasingly powerful Qin State plunged the countries into extreme panic, and the Warring States entered a period of great challenges and opportunities, with a large number of talented and famous people stepping onto the stage of the Warring States Period, and the relations between countries were constantly reshuffled.
The rhino head Gongsun Yan left Qin and entered Wei to lobby the six countries to form an alliance and form a joint encirclement of the Qin State, and the Qin State fell into an unprecedented crisis, and the young Qin State monarch decisively appointed Zhang Yi, which was followed by Qin Xiaogong's appointment of Shang Ying, and the Qin State once again joined hands with the monarchs and ministers, and became another political story that has been passed down through the ages.
As a result, Zhang Yi made frequent moves, vertically and horizontally, broke through diplomatic dilemmas and dangerous situations again and again, and wrote a colorful movement that left a name in history, so that when I see it today, it is still amazing and shining.
The young Qin Huiwen monarch, to encourage the internal cultivation of the war, external breakthrough of the difficulties, the exchange of attack and mutual use, although there are sometimes dangerous situations, but the layout of the battle is scattered, the east out of the Han Valley, the south to Shang Yu, the west to conquer Bashu, the north to serve the Yiqu, Qin Huiwen King for the Great Qin hegemony handed over a brilliant report card.
This gives Liu Hong a good reference object, you must know that in the past reading history books, with his wisdom, it is difficult to see the subtle meaning, but it is not as good as this romance language, with the words of the story, the clear analysis of national affairs.
