Chapter 265: Big Wedding

At the end of November of the third year of Zhongping (186), ten miles outside the newly expanded Chang'an City, a scarlet carpet was paved on the wide avenue. Banners were flying on both sides of the avenue, drums and music were noisy, and rows of exquisitely armored warriors stood solemnly with swords and guns.

Today, the real master of Guanzhong, the world's number one magistrate, Huangfu Jian, the general of Zhenxi, is about to return to Chang'an.

Early in the morning, Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Shangshu Ling, Zhong Yao, the Minister of Personnel, Ju Su, the Minister of Justice, Chen Lin, the Minister of Rites, Ma Jun, the Minister of Works, and the Minister of Works, and the Minister of Eight Generals, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Zhang Liang, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, the General of Dragon Cavalry, Zhao Yun, and the General of Tiger Cavalry, led a group of civil and military officials out of the city to welcome their gods.

"Tread, step, step..."

When the sky approached, more than a dozen whistle-like cavalry rushed over on the official road leading to Gaoping City in Chang'an City.

"Report! The lord has arrived five miles away." He immediately rode closer and shouted loudly.

"All ministers kneel down to welcome him!" Chen Lin, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, heard the report from the soldiers, and shouted loudly.

"Wow..." Except for the soldiers who were responsible for guarding, all the officials of the Zhenxi Army all fell to the ground.

The five miles of kneeling to welcome him was the most profound etiquette at that time, and it was equivalent to the ceremony of welcoming the emperor.

"Boom..." These officials did not kneel for long, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the official road.

A black-armored iron cavalry came in a mighty manner, stepping on the rolling smoke and dust.

The blood-colored golden eagle flag fluttered in the wind, and the huge war god car was running slowly. Huangfu Jian was wearing a Qilin armor and a blood-colored battle robe, riding majestic on the tall and majestic lion and tiger beast, and the war god gun in his hand emitted a dark light.

The Eighteen Dragon Cavalry did not relax because they were about to get home. They were still wearing armor, holding the reins with one hand and pressing the hilt of the knife hanging around the waist with the other hand, and garrisoning the Huangfu Jian as usual.

"Greetings to the lord!" Huangfu Jian's mount approached, and the civil and military officials of the western army knelt on the ground shouted in unison.

Huangfu Jian rode on the lion and tiger beast, and looked at the civil servants and generals who were kneeling all over the ground, and was also slightly excited.

Huangfu Jian flew down the lion and tiger beast, handed the spear in his hand to the iron eagle, Shihu took the lion and tiger beast, and then took two steps to Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao, Zhong Yao, the eight generals, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others, helped them up one by one, and said lightly: "Get up!"

"Thank you!" everyone shouted and stood up one by one.

Huangfu Jian, surrounded by everyone, got on the lion, tiger and beast and drove towards Chang'an City.

The newly expanded Chang'an City is more than twice the area of ​​the original one. The wall is five meters high and is made of green stones. The solid wall foundation and towering battlements all show his heroic wings of the world.

In addition to the city gate tower above each city gate, a three-meter-high tower was built on the city wall every distance, equipped with various city guarding equipment. Even the catapults that the Zhenxi Army had never used on the battlefield were also equipped.

Outside the Wei River, a moat that is eight feet wide and five feet deep is built. From a distance, Chang'an City is like a huge war fortress surrounded by rivers, hideous and terrifying.

There are three gates in the south city. The middle gate is five gates, and the rest are three gates, which are completely built according to the rules of the Han imperial city. Huangfu Jian and his party entered the city from the five gates in the middle, walked on the wide road in the city, and drove towards the urn city in the middle.

Although the Wengcheng in Chang'an City is also called Wengcheng, its specifications have actually exceeded that of the Han Dynasty Imperial City. As long as Huangfu Jian ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Wengcheng is the imperial city, and it is just a change of name.

In the urn, except for the well-preserved Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, the other severely damaged palaces have been cleared. The new Zhenxi General Mansion was built on the original abandoned palace. The Changle and Weiyang Palaces were distributed on both sides of the new Zhenxi General Mansion. The three palaces present a huge character for the character "Pin" and stand in the urn.

The new General Palace in Zhenxi not only surpassed the original Han Palace in scale, but also used the design to refer to the Gucheng City Lord's Mansion and was built according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation. The outer periphery is composed of eight palaces, and the highest and largest building in the middle is Huangfu Jian's main palace, which is also the center of the Nine Palaces and the center of the Nine Palaces and the head of the Nine Palaces.

In front of the General's Mansion in Zhenxi are rows of tall buildings, which will be the place where institutions at all levels of the Zhenxi Army will work. In front of these buildings, there is a huge square, and a long golden dragon that is about to fly high in the center of the square, making the whole Chang'an look like a thousand dragons.

On that day, Huangfu Jian feasted all the ministers in the newly built general's mansion.

After the banquet, Huangfu Jian summoned Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao, and Zhong Yao, four important officials in the central palace.

"Now, the Western Regions have been pacified, and half of the land in the northern desert is in the hands of the Zhenxi Army. Our army's power has increased greatly, but when the local area is larger, the corresponding management must also be kept up. Otherwise, these places will not only not become the support of the Zhenxi Army, but will instead become the burden of the Zhenxi Army. Therefore, you will need to provide advice and properly manage these places."

Everyone sat down, Huangfu Jian said lightly with a smile on his face.

The Zhenxi Army has reached today, and its strength and territory are expanding rapidly. It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend the world! At this time, management must also keep up with it simultaneously, otherwise various hidden dangers will break out in unexpected times. Huangfu Jian did not want such a thing to happen, so he raised the problem in advance.

What's more, in Huangfu Jian's mind, the tribes on the grassland are not simply enough to surrender. He wants to completely control the vast grassland, just like his own counties and counties. Of course, there are many difficulties to achieve this.

After hearing this, the four important officials in the hall began to frown and think. These places were too far away, and there were huge differences in language and customs. When the Han Dynasty was in a strong position, they could only surrender, and their subordinates would pay some tribute every year. When they were threatened, they would just send some soldiers to rescue them.

But now the lord wants to completely control these places and turn them into counties under the rule of Zhenxi Army. This was a big problem under the traffic conditions at that time!

Of course, they had to be careful about such a major event that would break the sky and the earth.

"The Western Regions are mainly self-cultivated farmers and supplemented by nomads. There are many towns built, which is similar to the situation in Liangzhou and is much easier to manage. However, the grassland people live on nomads. They live in each tribe and tribe, and their whereabouts are uncertain. Today, they will migrate to another place tomorrow. It is indeed very difficult to manage. Weichen believes that if you want to manage the grassland well, you must first limit their mobility to a certain extent, limit each tribe to a specific area, and reduce their mobility. Then, strictly manage the population according to the region."

The first thing to say is Zhang Zhao. When Zhang Zhao was young, he traveled all over the country and still had some understanding of the characteristics of grassland ethnic groups.

"It is indeed a good way to divide their activities by region, manage them according to population, establish county and village-level management institutions, and weaken the influence of tribes on herders." After hearing this, Huangfu Jian nodded repeatedly and applauded.

"Weichen believes that in order to truly control the grassland, in addition to establishing county and village-level lower-level management institutions, we must also build roads and cities to highlight the advantages of the Han people and increase our ruling ability."

"I think that if we can build a well-connected avenue on the vast grassland, and build cities in important surrounding areas with this avenue as the center, as a commodity trading center for Han people and grasslands, we will station troops. In this way, both Han people and herders on the grassland will take the initiative to go to these cities for trading. Over time, these cities will gradually become local distribution centers."

"And there are troops stationed in the city. Once something happens to a certain place on the grassland, our army can also arrive there in the shortest time. It quickly eliminates hidden dangers, so that we can achieve the goal of ruling the grassland."

Zhong Yao, the Minister of Personnel, also spoke, and his words hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the grassland nation.

"Okay! What Lord Zhong said makes sense, but building a city and building roads on the grassland is a huge project, and it can only be completed step by step. It is left to you two to slowly agree on this matter and come up with a practical solution."

Huangfu Jian nodded slightly after hearing this. If he could really do what these two people said, it would not be empty talk to keep the grassland in his hands. Although there were many difficulties, the benefits were even greater. With the powerful cavalry on the grassland, the strength of Zhenxi Army would double.

"Hey, hey, hey... When the lord sent troops to the Western Regions in April this year, he said in person that when Chang'an City is expanded and the General's Mansion is completed, a grand wedding will be held. Now the lord has returned from the Western Regions, Chang'an City has been expanded and the General's Mansion has been completed, and the General's Mansion has been completed. It is time for the lord to fulfill his promise." After Huangfu Jian, Zhang Zhao and Zhong Yao agreed to the grassland management plan, Jia Xu, who was standing beside him, started to say with a chuckle.

Now the Zhenxi Army is prosperous and prosperous under the rule of the army, but the soul is only Huangfu Jian. Once Huangfu Jian makes a mistake, the Zhenxi Army will be divided and no longer exists. Therefore, in the hearts of the Zhenxi Army, the lord hopes that the lord can marry and have children as soon as possible, and that the Zhenxi Army will have successors.

Huangfu Jian is still alone now and often appears on the battlefield, and dangers will occur at all times. At that time, people value bloodlines, and there are no descendants behind him. This is the biggest hidden danger within the Zhenxi Army.

"That's right! Please hold a wedding for the lord!" Before Huangfu Jian could speak, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao and Zhong Yao also said in unison.

"Ha, ha, ha... I'm not in a hurry, why are you more anxious than me!" Huangfu Jian saw the anxious look on the four people's faces, and it seemed like he had made an appointment. If he didn't agree, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"The lord is now the soul of the entire Zhenxi Army, so the lord's private affairs are not private affairs, but a major event of the entire Zhenxi Army. The lord is busy, and I can't think of this, so I can only help the lord think about it." Jia Xu followed Huangfu Jian for the longest time and knew Huangfu Jian best, and he spoke casually.

"Okay! I promised you! However, I will do my wedding as I said. I will marry Jieyou at the same time, Diao Chan, Zhang Ning, Loulan King, Long Jiu, and Long Eighteen and Sixteen daughters. How to arrange for you to do it? Among the six daughters, Jieyou is the right wife, and the others are not distinguished from the high and low, they are all fair wives, and they are only sorted by age!" Huangfu Jian said nothing but shockingly.

"This... this is too inconsistent with the rules! If there is a good wife, a fair wife, or a concubine, how can you only establish a good wife? The others are not divided into high and low, but only about the size of the big or small?"

The four important officials who were sitting down at Huangfu Jian all widened their eyes in surprise and opened their mouths.

"I don't care about other people's ideas, but this is what I do. I am the one who is the one who is the one who is the wife, and the other five people do not distinguish between high and low, only talk about their size."

Huangfu Jian had no room for bargaining these important officials. Even Long Jiu and Ninety-Eight were only maids around him, and they were not distinguished from their superiors. This was not only a traitor, but also a horrifying thing.

"The lord insists on doing this, so I can only obey it!" Jia Xu knew that although Huangfu Jian was easy-going, the decision was difficult to change, so he had to agree.

"The lord's wedding is the top priority in the town army. It must be done grandly and decently. It is known to everyone in the world. Please hand it over to the Ministry of Rites for the specific arrangement!" Zhang Zhao took over Huangfu Jian's wedding event.

"Okay, this is the end of the discussion of my marriage. Tell me what you are so anxious to call me back, right?" After the major incident, Huangfu Jian asked the four more people again. When he was in the Western Regions, Jia Xu could repeatedly urge him to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.

"I urge the lord to return as soon as possible. One is to close the marriage of his lord. Another thing is the news from Yecheng that the Han emperor was seriously ill and was at risk of his death at any time. How should our army deal with it? Please make a decision."

When Jia Xu heard Huangfu Jian ask, he also looked solemn and said slowly. According to his opinion, the death of Emperor Han and the chaos in the Central Plains was a great opportunity for Zhenxi Army to advance eastward. He hoped that the lord would be able to move faster.

"What about your opinions?" Huangfu Jian showed a meditative look on his face. He did not express his opinions, but asked indifferently.

"My subordinates believe that the Han Emperor's death was a good opportunity for the Western Army to be conquered! Our army is now strong, with sufficient troops and sufficient food. The lord is just a fair and can take the opportunity to advance to the Central Plains and take down the Central Plains in one fell swoop."

Jia Xu's eyes showed no concealing the excitement in his heart and said loudly.

After hearing this, Huangfu Jian shook his head lightly. He knew in his heart that with the current strength of Zhenxi Army, he had a chance of winning against the heroes of the Central Plains, but even if he forgot, he could only win miserably and not rely on justice. He didn't want to take the blame for Dong Zhuo. Since there was such a good success, why not do it?

"Although what the military advisor said makes sense, it is not the best time to send troops to the West. Our army's main task is to digest the newly recovered land of the Western Regions, Wusun, the Western Xianbei, and the Northern Xiongnu. We raise soldiers and accumulate food and grass, and we can only follow the trend at the appropriate time. We will not directly rush our troops to the Central Plains, but will become enemies with the entire Central Plains princes."

Huangfu Jian said slowly, his tone firm.
Chapter completed!
