Chapter 589: A Gathering of Jade-level dignitaries from the Imperial Ancestral Temple
Jiankang, Ancestral Temple.
This majestic city, with a radius of more than 40 miles, was built in the late Three Kingdoms. At that time, it was just a small town called Moling. The Yangtze River turned a corner from here, from south to north, then eastward, and went straight out.
Haikou, more than 200 miles east of Jingkou Town, opposite Guazhou Ferry, has become the only place for visitors from the north to cross the river. Going south, it passes through Danyang, Jinling and other places, and goes straight to the land of Sanwu, north of the city.
Zhongshan and Mufu Mountain provide natural defense for the city. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the tiger is sitting on the dragon's plate, and the king's energy is abundant. It can be said that if you control this city, you almost control the entire Jiangzuo land. Therefore,
Military strategists have always fought for each other since ancient times. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty crossed the river, they built their capital here. After nearly a hundred years of management, today's Jiankang City has a population of hundreds of thousands and an area of more than 40 miles. It is one of the largest super cities in the world.
.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. It is already March. Willow branches are beginning to sprout. Birds are chirping happily. The warm sun has risen into the sky. It is just the right time. In the words of later generations, it is exactly eight or nine o'clock.
The clock-like sun is spreading its light and heat to its fullest, illuminating the streets and alleys of this city.
The Imperial Ancestral Temple outside the palace city was already crowded with people. In other words, the entire Jiankang City was filled with people. Hundreds of thousands of people from all directions had lined up from Zhongshan Gate in the north to this building.
In the Ancestral Ancestral Temple in the south of the city, both sides of the street were crowded with people, while 30,000 Beijing Guards sergeants were on duty on both sides of the avenue. The thoroughfare of about six or seven miles from Zhongshan Gate to the Ancestral Ancestral Temple will be today's military parade
The main passage for the prisoner offering had been cleaned spotlessly and sprinkled with water early in the morning. All the Jin people who were blocked behind the sergeants on duty stretched their necks and even climbed up the treetops, just to get a better view.
It's a good place to have a glimpse of the legendary Beifu soldiers who defeated millions of barbarians.
On the high platform of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, from the Jin Dynasty to Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao, court officials of fifth rank and above and governors of fourth rank and above have gathered here. In this era, there was no such strict hierarchy as in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The distinction is still in the period of transition from the rank of rank in the Han Dynasty to the rank of nine-rank officials in later generations. However, officials in the upper court are above the fifth rank, and state and county officials are ranked in the fourth and fifth ranks depending on whether they lead troops.
The difference has become a common practice. On this special day today, all the monarchs and ministers are dressed in formal attire. They stand on the steps of the high Ancestral Temple, smiling and looking in the direction of Zhongshan Gate in the distance.
A young man of medium height with dark complexion, slightly curly hair, and thick lips, who does not look much like a Chinese. He is in his mid-twenties, wearing a yellow robe. He is the current emperor Sima Yao. He and King Kuaiji
Sima Daozi's mother was Li Lingrong, a Kunhua slave who had been a palace slave. By chance, she was lucky enough to give birth to these two princes when the late emperor Sima Yu was over fifty, which could be regarded as solving the problem for the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family.
The problem of having no successors.
Since Sima Yao ascended the throne, although he has hardly been in charge of the government, his luck is as good as heaven. Not only is the country relatively stable, but the Huan family of Jingzhou, who has always had the intention of usurping the throne, no longer makes troubles. Even these dozens of
The Qin army, which had been rampaging across the world for many years and destroyed countless countries, was also defeated by the Jin army at Feishui. There was already talk among the people that the half-black emperor was a lucky star from the sky who wanted to protect the Han people of the Jin Dynasty.
People, regain the lost land, unify the world, and end this troubled world.
By Sima Yao's side, Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, who had official residence and recorded the affairs of the minister, Xie An, the de facto prime minister of the empire, who held the two senior civil and military positions of the imperial minister and the general of the guard, was the right servant of the minister, and the minister of the official affairs of the kingdom.
Bao Bao, as well as many other high-ranking children of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are two people who are eye-catching. One is the Jingzhou Huan family who led troops to Beijing this time to participate in the prisoner presentation ceremony. Huan Wen, the eldest son of the former powerful minister Huan Wen, and the other,
He is a branch of the Langya Wang family, the grandson of Wang Dao, the founding prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Wang Xun, who is famous for his literary talent.
For some reason, I can only apologize to readers and friends. From now on, I will call him Wang Xun, but everyone remembers from the history books that this person has multiple characters for "王" next to his name.)
This Wang Xun, together with his younger brother Wang Min, are cousins of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher and former general of the Right Army. However, their relationship with the Xie family is very complicated. Originally, Xie An took his brother An Xi
Xie Dacan, the daughter of General Xie Yi and the third sister of Xie Daoyun, married Wang Xun, and even married his own daughter to Wang Min. They were both parents. The close relationship between the Xie and Wang families was known to the world.
But later, the Wang Xun brothers offended Xie An for some unknown reason, so that Xie An forced his two daughters and niece to divorce the Wang brothers. This incident caused a sensation in the upper-class circles of the Jin Dynasty. Wang Xun was originally in the court
After being appointed as the Minister of Huangmen, Xie An was assigned the post of Yuzhang County Sheriff and transferred to another place. However, Wang Xun was angry and refused to take up the post. Finally, through the mediation of Emperor Xiaowu, he was given the post of Sanqi Chang.
He continued to work as a waiter in Jiankang City, but on this special day today, Wang Xun, a high-ranking disciple who seemed to hate Xie An (except Wang Guobao) the most, appeared on this occasion and talked with him.
Huan Xuan stood together, their personal mysteries and thought-provoking moments.
Sima Yao seemed to be in high spirits today. He smiled and said to Xie An, who was standing next to him: "Xie An awarded the title of Taibao, the highest official, after the Battle of Feishui. Although it was a false position, it was still a respected position.
, unparalleled), this victory of our army over Feishui was all due to your and Xie Zhenjun’s proper command and their elite soldiers. Today, in front of our ancestors of the Sima clan, we can feel proud and proud."
Xie An looked calm and saluted: "Your Majesty is overly praised. It is mainly due to your Majesty's power of heaven and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and fought bravely to kill the enemy. This victory was only possible. But this victory will not only affect our recovery of the Central Plains in the future."
Compared with his feats, it is nothing.”
Sima Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why, does the Taibao intend to make a northern expedition into the Central Plains?"
Xie An smiled and shook his head: "If there is a great chaos in the north and we have an opportunity to take advantage of it, then this golden opportunity cannot be missed. Of course, the Qin State is only a small chaos now, and it has not reached the point of being uncontrollable. The losses of our war
It's not small at all. We need to wait and see for a while before making a decision. Also, we need to ask the Holy Spirit for instructions on how to implement the rewards for this victory, and how to arrange the more than 100,000 prisoners of the Qin army."
