On New Year's Eve, a large team arrived in Binh Duong.
When setting off from Bianliang, this team only had a thousand people.
When passing through Yingchuan, there were 500 more soldiers.
Then they passed through Luoyang, entered the Luoshui River Valley, and then went north to Shaanxi City. The team became larger and larger, almost exceeding four thousand.
By the time they arrived in Pingyang, they already had an army of five thousand infantry and cavalry.
Outside Jianchun Gate in the east of the city, the sky was covered with heavy snow, and all the officials and generals prostrated themselves on the ground.
After a while, a graceful and childish woman got out of the car. Surrounded by maids, she looked curiously at Liu Han's capital.
A city about the same size as Luoyang is much better than the dirty and messy Bianliang!
Yu Wenjun had a slight smile on his face.
She quietly stretched out her hand, as if the snowflakes in Pingyang were more beautiful than those in Bianliang.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is majestic and majestic. She likes this city very much because it symbolizes her husband's achievements.
She quickly got on the carriage again, and was escorted into Ningshuo Palace by Liang Guotai servant Cheng Xunyi——
Xun Yi is the son of Xun Zu, the former governor of Xuzhou.
The Xun group had close relations with the Pingyuan Fahrenheit family, the Peiguo Liu family and even the Laoling Shi family. Finally, with persuasion, Pengcheng was "peacefully liberated".
After handing over power, Xunzu and his family traveled south to build Ye, but he left one son in the north. He used his identity as a Yingchuan nobleman to serve in the Liang Kingdom and took up the post of Taipusheng. He was Xunyi.
Ningshuo Palace is the original Liuhan Palace in Pingyang, and Shao Xun just ordered the name to be changed.
If nothing else happens, this palace city will be preserved for a long time. When Shao Xun himself visited the barbarians in Hexi and northern Bingzhou, this was a very good place for business and work.
The carriage stopped outside Changhemen.
It happened that a large group of Hu chieftains came out of the palace gate, and they were suddenly surprised when they saw a large group of honor guards and a chariot that could almost compare with the Queen's heavy Zhai chariot.
The official who led them out of the palace introduced them softly, and everyone was shocked. They all fell to the ground and shouted "Ms. Yan".
Yu Wenjun listened in the car, covered his mouth and smiled, and was a little proud: My husband is really a famous hero in this world, even the barbarians surrendered to him.
Most of the guards stopped outside Changhemen and dispersed, going back to their homes. Only a thousand Liang Palace guards escorted Yu Wenjun forward.
When I passed through the closed door, I could still hear the barbarians' "whispered conversations" in my ears.
"The Yan family is the wife of the Jin Emperor, right? The late emperor died, and Liang Gong married the Jin Emperor's wife and was elected as the new master."
"That's right. If Liang Gong doesn't marry the Jin Emperor's wife, how can the nobles in Luoyang listen to him? I think back then, the new Xiongnu was in his prime, so in order to succeed to the throne smoothly, he had to marry the old Shanyu.
The gray-haired old wife.”
"Didn't Liu Cong just marry his stepmother, Queen Shan? Everything in the world is the same."
"Yes, it's really the same."
When Yu Wenjun heard this in the carriage, he felt angry for a while, and then burst into laughter.
These barbarians are vulgar, ignorant, and ridiculously stupid.
"Stop talking, stop talking, it won't be good if Queen Sheep hears it." Someone said proudly: "You still don't know, right? The surname of the driver in the car is Sheep, and he is the surname of Emperor Jin. Liang Gongda Shanyu wants to
power, was forced to marry her, and was supported by the nobles of Shan Yuting..."
The voice gradually faded away, and the smile on Yu Wenjun's face gradually disappeared.
Yang Xianrong actually came before her.
****
The lineup brought by Yu Wenjun is still very large.
In addition to herself and her four concubines, the four wives of the Le family, the Lu family, Da Wang, and Xiao Wang, as well as the Song family, the Jing family, the Zheng family, and the Guo family who did not have an "establishment"—the Pei family also came.
Yes, but I went to Wenxi to visit relatives on the way, and will not come to Pingyang until next year.
Followed by a large number of Liang Palace officials, craftsmen, guards and other personnel.
The Liang State also sent many staff, officials and their respective staff to the General's Mansion.
Celebrating the New Year at Liu Cong’s house this year!
The chariot drove past Guangji and entered the Second Palace of Jianshi. Among the thousands of palaces and palaces, all the palace residents and sergeants who came into view bowed down and all the officials saluted.
Yu Wenjun, who was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat and looked quite elegant, got off the car in front of Zhaode Hall.
"I heard that the Zhaode Hall is the main hall of the harem, isn't it appropriate?" She looked at the majestic main hall, and was a little surprised that it was no worse than the Luoyang Palace. It was even newer and better, so she hesitated.
After hearing this, Prince Xun Yi was silent.
After Liang Gong captured Pingyang, he could of course seal up the palace, leaving nothing to gain and no luck to the women. The money and women were registered and sent to Luoyang to be presented to the emperor to show his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism.
But he didn't do this. He distributed part of his money and concubines to meritorious ministers, and he lived directly in the Han Palace to meet Empress Liu Han. Now that the matter was over, what was the use of being coy about it?
Can the concubine who got into the general's bed be taken back?
Can the money that goes into the sergeant's pocket be spit out?
Even the staff have been given a lot of good stuff. They come from rich backgrounds. Are you willing to donate it?
"If Madam feels that Zhaode Hall is too empty, you can stay temporarily in Huiguang Hall." Xun Yi cupped his hands and said.
"Where does Queen Hui live?" Yu Wenjun asked.
"Wenming Palace."
"Is this the main hall of the harem?"
"One of the two main halls, it is slightly inferior to Zhaode Hall, but better than Huangyi, Huiguang and other halls."
Yu Wenjun was silent, and then he was a little confused. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Xun Yi observed the words and said: "Liang Gong took the generals, assistants, and Chief Hu to go hunting. He will be back soon. He will stay at Zhaode Palace in the evening. I may have something to ask my wife..."
Yu Wenjun responded with a blushing face and entered the Zhaode Hall.
The palace guests who followed her looked left and right, and were greatly surprised. The decoration and furnishings of Liu Han Zhaode Hall were even better than those of Bianliang Guanfeng Hall.
"Just don't go back to Bianliang." Madam Guanqiu withdrew his gaze and said happily: "Zhaode Palace is no worse than Zhaoyang Palace in Luoyang."
"It sounds like you have lived in Zhaoyang Palace. What, you are the emperor's concubine?" Xiao Yu joked.
Mrs. Guanqiu's face was a little red, remembering the scene where her young body was repeatedly manipulated by Liang Gong, and spat: "I only think about Mr. Lang, who wants to go to Luoyang."
Yu Wenjun coughed, and the four children stopped talking.
"Let's clean up Zhaode Hall first. I don't know how long I will live here." She looked around and felt a little happy.
"Yes." The four little helpers quickly found the palace servants and issued orders one after another.
The old palace residents of Han Palace were transferred to other palaces, and most of the hundreds of large and small houses in Zhaode Hall were replaced by the palace residents of Liang Palace who came with them.
The pro-army troops temporarily stationed here also exchanged defense with the newly arrived imperial commander Shi Wuli.
From this moment on, the force guarding the harem was replaced by a thousand Liang Palace guards, and the personal army moved to Guangji, Jianshi and other palaces to guard it.
The furniture and furnishings were rearranged and replaced with styles familiar to Liang Gong.
Yu Wenjun came to the bedroom and made the bed with his own hands together with Mrs. Yin.
Mrs. Xun brought over Shao Xun's favorite tea set. After sending people to clean it, she chose a palace room as a study and placed it inside.
While Mrs. Guanqiu supervised the palace people to unload the palace utensils and eating utensils, she secretly sighed that this was not a real imperial court, and there were not even internal officials. They had to keep an eye on everything.
If that doesn't work, just choose some female officials.
A group of women worked like this all afternoon, and Zhaode Hall soon took on a new look.
There are obviously no major changes, but it just gives people a warm feeling.
Yu Wenjun looked at all this with satisfaction. This was her and her husband's home.
I love doing these things the most!
Military and political affairs were really annoying and made people sleepy. She just rushed to get things done and tried her best to do it.
****
The front hall of Ningshuo Palace is also busy.
Some cardinal officials moved to the side halls to the left and right of Guangji Hall to live and work, but most of them were near the royal road in front of the palace.
To the left of Changhemen is Xiangguo Mansion, the former residence of Liu Can.
When Pingyang City was destroyed, all the servants and maidservants in Liu Can's mansion fled, and were later taken over by sergeants. The military adviser Zhang Bin lived here for a while.
Now he's moved out to make room for someone else -
"Don't worry, gentlemen, I have taken care of everything." Wang Yan got off the carriage and said with a smile: "Several armies attacked Pingyang and achieved a great victory that had not been seen in ZTE for more than ten years. The emperor was very happy and ordered the Han Palace to be conquered. It was renamed 'Ningshuo Palace' and given to Duke Liang."
Wen Qiao followed Wang Yan politely and said, "Maybe he will be the 'King of Liang' in a while?"
"It won't take long, the angel is already on the way." Wang Yan looked radiant and smiled.
Wen Qiao was startled and said: "Will Duke Liang return to Luoyang to accept the canonization?"
"Liang Gong is not happy." At this point, Wang Yan was also a little depressed and could only sigh: "The Emperor is not happy either."
Wen Qiao nodded.
What else could be done? Neither the emperor nor the powerful ministers wanted to meet each other, so this was the only way.
Furthermore, after experiencing the tens of thousands of people attending the conference a while ago, who dares to talk nonsense?
When the Xiongnu gained power, they won many battles and were defeated by no one. The Jin Dynasty was about to be subjugated, and there were so many well-dressed soldiers crossing to the south. After more than ten years, Liang Gongtige fought bravely and broke through the enemy's capital, and so on.
Who can match its prestige?
Wen Qiao thought of Liang Gong's proposal to assess the family status of the captives.
This is not a trivial matter. In fact, it is related to the interests of the scholars. It is not trivial at all. But when Wen Qiao talked with his friends, he saw that he was angry and resentful, but he did not dare to object openly, and finally swallowed it down.
The face with this tone.
Prestige, prestige, the prestige of conquering the enemy's capital suppressed everything.
The dissatisfied scholars could only be forced to go underground and lie dormant in silence, waiting for the right time.
After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Yan glanced left and right and nodded slightly.
Zheng Long, the chief secretary of the general, breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Junsi was a top scholar, and he naturally had a very discerning eye. He was satisfied, and it seemed that Liu Can still had some taste.
After finishing this matter, he quietly resigned, then took three steps and two steps at a time, passed through the Changhe Gate, and came to Yousili Temple and Yushi Temple on the right.
There are only these three institutions directly in front of Ningshuo Palace, which indicates the order of Liu Han's powerful figures.
The Xiangguo was specially established by Liu Cong. It was originally a posthumous posthumous gift to an official with outstanding merits. Later, in order to pass the throne to his biological son, the Xiangguo was decentralized and Liu Can personally took charge of it.
During the Jiaping period, Liu Cong "established a hundred officials" and established Qigong. At the same time, he also appointed Yushi Dafu and Zhou Mu, all of whom were Yagong.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs was also established, and the "Left and Right Selection Cao Shangshu" was established. These two official positions, together with the Left and Right Secretary, and the Left and Right Shan Yufu, were all "positions of servants".
This was a regime that was a fusion of Hu and Han, and the official system had undergone great changes since the time of Liu Yuan.
Liu Cong is not a waste, on the contrary, he has certain abilities. He has been thinking about how to stabilize his Hu-Han dualist country - this will also be a problem that Shao Xun will face.
When Liu Cong reformed, Liu Han was at its peak, owning most of Bingzhou, part of Guanzhong, part of Henan, part of Sizhou, and almost all of Jizhou and Qingzhou.
At that time, the left and right bureaucracies were in charge of the Han people, each responsible for more than 200,000 households, and there was an internal history for every 10,000 households.
The left and right Chanyus were in charge of the Hu people, including the Xiongnu, and each of them had hundreds of thousands of descendants.
It can be seen from this that the Yousili Temple is definitely a real official position. Although the position is inferior, the real power is far superior. Therefore, the Yousili Temple is located near the Changhe Gate.
The Yousili Temple was left to the left chief minister Pei Shao and his staff, and the Yushi Temple was given to the Right Sima Yangchen.
Across the street, there are Zuosili Temple and Zuoguanglu Temple, each of which houses many officials.
There is also Shanyutai in the western suburbs of Pingyang, which is the office of Liu Han's Great Sima, Great Chanyu, and Chanyu's left and right assistants. Now it is occupied by a group of people headed by Su Shuyan, the Chief Protector of the Barbarians - there will be new people in the future, after all
There are many houses in Shanyutai, and like the Xiangguo Mansion in the city, it is one of Liu Can's offices.
The officials who came here from Bianliang to congratulate the emperor will also temporarily stay in Shanyutai, which is equivalent to a pavilion post.
Zheng Long felt relieved as he watched Pei Shao chatting and laughing with his friends, and the assistants were busy moving in a large number of files, books, manuscripts, seals and various office supplies.
It's really great to get a capital city that has not been damaged by the war and has complete functions.
"The king is ordered by heaven to start a business and prosper the country, obey the will of heaven, and support the people..." Zheng Long's sharp ears suddenly laughed when he heard the chatter of several officials in Zuo Changshi's Mansion.
After the capture of Pingyang and the General's Mansion, the morale of everyone in the Liang Kingdom reached a new level - not only the morale of the sergeants who received the reward was high, but the officials were also very excited.
You can have some opinions about Mr. Liang in your heart, but his achievements are real and undeniable.
Zheng Long was almost certain that these subordinates were dissatisfied with Liang Gong, but they were also very satisfied with Liang Gong.
No one is perfect, so what should we do? We can only look at the overall situation.
Mr. Liang has abused our scholars thousands of times, yet I still endure the discomfort in my heart and serve as an official for you...
Achievements and prestige overwhelm dissatisfaction. This is the reality of the officialdom under Liang Gong.
The sky is getting dark, and the Pingyang lanterns are beginning to light up.
After the snowflakes stopped for half a day, they fell from the sky again, adding a different color to the upcoming New Year.
At this moment, hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers in and outside Pingyang raised their heads.
This snow seems to be a gift for the new conquerors of Pingyang.
