Chapter 61: The Son of Heaven Is Gone?
In winter mornings, the frost is heavy and the fog is thick.
Last night, a little sparse snow fell in Xudu City, which made the morning air seem particularly cold and made Liu Xie not want to leave the warm bed for a moment.
Really, his bed became a sperm and he pulled him out of letting him get up.
As a result, before dawn was dawn, Guan Yu heard a loud voice, shouting from afar: "Your Majesty, it's time to practice horses."
Xudu Palace was originally small and the residents were already crowded. Where could there be a place to free up horses? As a last resort, he had to demolish the walls of the Beigong Palace and move many nearby residents away. Only then did he barely resettle the more than 1,700 horses donated to him by the Han ministers.
The good palace has now become like an open-air zoo.
As a result, the emperor and Yu Linwei were almost the same as living with each other. In addition, Liu Xie spent all the palace maids and eunuchs to make money. Therefore, the private space left for him in the Beigong Palace has become smaller and smaller, and the real forbidden area of the harem covers less than ten acres.
What kind of defense between men and women is not enough now. Liu Xie has always suspected that the palace maids had an affair with the Yulin Army soldiers recently, but he was too lazy to care.
This led to Guan Yu's loud voice being able to report work clearly to him directly outside the forbidden area of the harem, and he couldn't pretend not to listen.
In order to better touch the God of Wealth, after Guan Yu became the position of Yulin Central Army, he simply appointed Guan Yu as his teacher, calling him martial arts.
Now he regrets the more he wants.
This Guan Yu was very serious when he was a teacher.
"I feel uncomfortable today and really don't want to practice anymore."
"Here."
Five minutes later, the Yulinwei chorus rang outside the yard. Not only did he sing, but he also shouted loudly, deliberately not letting Liu Xie sleep.
This Guan Yu, ah~~~ I was convinced.
Guan Yu believed that the emperor was good at everything, but he was always a little lazy when it comes to practicing martial arts. He thought it was his dereliction of duty as a teacher, but he did not dare to be strong on the emperor, so he came up with this trick to urge the emperor to work hard every day.
There was no choice but to get up and dress. After changing into Ru's armor, Liu Xie didn't even have to eat breakfast and went to Guan Yu to practice horses.
I opened the door and took a deep breath. Damn, the smell of horse feces and horse urine was everywhere.
After looking at the bare imperial garden, all the peony flowers he had raised carefully became the food for horses, and Liu Xie was even more angry.
In fact, if he really practiced martial arts, Liu Xie would not be so repulsive. After all, it would sound interesting to be able to practice martial arts with Mr. Guan at least.
As a result, he had been practicing with Guan Yu for more than half a month, but had never learned anything except riding a horse.
The main problem is the problem of these horses. First of all, almost all the Yulin Army come from aristocratic families in Yingchuan. Although these aristocratic children are quite rich, more than half of them can’t ride horses, and half of the remaining half are just able to ride.
After all, there are scholars in Yingchuan, but they do not produce horses. The children of these aristocratic families are not legitimate, and they do not practice riding horses on weekdays.
Guan Yu believes that since the Yulin Guard has a horse, it is a cavalry, and being skilled in archery and horses is of course the basic quality of the cavalry. As a general of the Yulin Army, he must focus on training the soldiers to ride horses.
It’s true that Guan Yu, a Hedong man, came over to serve as leaders of these Yingchuan people, and he was quite convinced.
Of course, the more important thing is that horses are so edible and very good. They also like to eat and pick up grass to feed them. One is that the cost is too high. Liu Xie is now poor and can't afford to feed them. The other is that if all the feces are pulled in the palace, it will be too smelly and seriously affect the living environment in the palace.
Therefore, every day, Guan Yu takes the Yulin Army to practice, which is called practicing riding and archery, but the main purpose is to walk the horses and eat some weeds on the roadside along the way, wheat bran and other things.
The Hu Ben Guard and the Yu Lin Guard were also competing. Although they did not have the General of the Central Army, they were all in the left and right prisons. Seeing Guan Yu pulling the Yu Lin Guard to walk his horse every day, Li Dian and Yu Gui followed him along.
Of course, it is inevitable to shoot a bow and shoot an arrow while walking. These days, there are a lot of wasteland and open spaces. Occasionally, you can shoot rabbits, deer, etc., and you can eat some meat with extra meals.
Although Liu Xie is the emperor, his airs are very small and he eats lunch with the guards. Sometimes he thinks that the chefs are unpalatable to cooking, and he will even put on the spoon in his hand.
After all, the group of cooks had already left the palace to open a restaurant.
It was obviously a very miserable picture, but inexplicably, the outside world made him a wise king, insisting that he was living and eating with the soldiers, crying and fucking day and night, and the emperor was in aspiration to rejuvenate.
Many people were even moved by Liu Xie and cried.
What's the matter with this? Can't you tell me I'm poor?
I kept practicing like this, practiced for nearly a month.
A lot of things happened outside the palace in one month.
For example, Cao Cao's army in the Eastern Expedition had won three battles and three victories, and had already conquered Pengcheng, and Lu Bu had to retreat to Xia Pi. The Eastern Expedition had actually been a great victory at this point, and what was left was nothing more than a matter of the number of results.
For example, after Xun Yu asked Liu Xie for instructions, he formally issued a letter of persuasion to Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu in the name of the emperor.
In the letter of persuading surrender, both of them were undoubtedly offered high prices, and it took great pains to Xun Yu. He planned to grant Zhang Xiu the title of Marquis of Songyin and Weiqing, and ordered him to bring 500 elite troops into Xudu and reorganize the imperial guards; he appointed Jia Xu as Marquis of Duting and Taichang.
It was really hard to do it. Zhang Xiu's Marquis of Songyin was a county marquis, which had reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Not to mention the size, the key is the geographical location. This is the closest county to Zhang Xiu's hometown Zuli County, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County.
So why do you say that wealth and honor are not returned to your hometown, like walking in a brocade dress at night? The fiefdom has been sealed at the door of Zhang Xiu's house. You can show off your strength and show off your true family and glorious ancestors.
Wei Qing was one of the nine ministers, nominally responsible for the guards of the Emperor's Palace and the guards of the city gate. Although he has been in name only, he specifically told him to bring him five hundred soldiers to reorganize the imperial guards, so he did not even reduce his military power.
He was even more attentive to confer Jia Xu as Taichang. If he really suffered, Xun Yu would even bear tremendous pressure.
You should know that although Jia Xu is already famous all over the world, his identity as a despicable husband in the border county is a hurdle that he will never get by in his life. A despicable husband in the border county may still be able to make a name for himself as a general, but as a civil servant, he will never have a future in his life.
This is also the reason why he was later called the Grand Marshal by Cao Pi but was ridiculed by Sun Quan.
Taichangqing is also the Nine Ministers, in charge of sacrifices. He seems to have little real power, but there are two departments below, one is called Taishi Ling and the other is called Taixue.
Taishi Ling belongs to Taichangqing, who writes history. Those who have always been able to do this position must be praised as famous even if they are not famous. After all, who doesn’t want to leave a name in history? Who doesn’t want the historian to help brag when recording himself?
To put it bluntly, Taixue is an official university. The filial piety and integrity of the Eastern Han Dynasty was too precious. Taixue was the most important channel for official career besides filial piety and integrity. No matter how bad it is, it is equivalent to the presidents of two universities in Tsinghua and Peking University in later generations. Who doesn’t want their children to go to a good school?
Therefore, this position can be said to be in charge of other people's reputation and other people's reputation. Is it true? No, but I can imagine that everyone in the world will help him brag.
Isn’t the so-called famous scholar just bragging?
Of course, these two appointments that were enough to shock the court three times were quickly sent smoothly and unhindered. Even Mao Jie did not make trouble, and no splash of water was splashed.
I wanted Zhang Xiu to surrender when I wrote an edict? I asked him to give up his troops and go to Beijing to become the Nine Ministers?
The emperor was just a whim and was too anxious to ask for military power.
How could Zhang Xiu surrender?
