"Chang'an Green Sophora twelfth Street, tourists from five cities compete for Mercedes-Benz." [Ci rhyme Xu Jingshuo presented to An Xiangzu]
Chang'an, Huayang Street.
There are eight streets and nine moors in Chang'an City. Apart from Anmen Street, which runs through the central axis of the city, the most famous one is Huayang Street. This street starts from Hengmen in the north and goes straight to the north gate of Weiyang Palace in the south. It is also called Hengmen Street.
Huayang Street is the main road of Chang'an City, passing through the East and West Markets, Beique Jiadi, Guigong, Beigong, Government Offices and other symbolic areas. When outsiders come to Chang'an, if they want to see the sights of the city, they often choose to go upstream from the Wei River.
Under the bridge, they entered through the Hengcheng Gate, so that they could see the fireworks and the warm Li Shulu, the rich and powerful people with bells and dinners, and even the solemn Weiyang Palace.
The various social strata of the Han Dynasty, the struggles at the bottom, and the intoxication at the top can be fully appreciated by walking through Huayang Street from beginning to end.
It's past afternoon, when the East and West markets are bustling.
After several years of peace in Guanzhong, the people of Chang'an took the lead in abandoning the days of starvation. Regardless of whether they had any spare money, they were willing to walk around the prosperous East-West Market, or pretend to buy at the stalls.
Some new things, or watching the actors from Yizhou rap and dance while playing drums with mallets, or stop and go, sit down in a fragrant cake shop and order soup cakes.
The traffic on the street was extremely lively. As the war situation in Guandong progressed, many people from Yanzhou and Jingzhou were in a trance and came to another world after arriving here. While Guandong was still in dire straits and the people were hanging upside down, the people in Guanzhong actually lived in peace early.
A car with a black cover and a black cover drove slowly by the roadside, with cavalry at the front and rear. The car was decorated with Zhu Linlu, Yi Lujie, Fu Xiongshi, and all kinds of colorful decorations, which fully demonstrated the dignity of the car owner.
Ordinary people don't know what this car represents, but it doesn't mean that they won't take the initiative to avoid it. Those with knowledge can see at a glance that this is a vehicle that can only be ridden by nobles and princes.
The car was driving very slowly. Captain Shi Dongfeng was sitting beside the car. He seemed to be attracted by the excitement outside. From time to time, he curiously opened the curtain and looked outside. He saw a crowd cheering for a funny actor. Dong Feng's eyes moved.
He opened his mouth and said, "This is much more interesting than being a Yuefu actor."
Jingzhao Yin Hu Miao, who was sitting opposite him, raised his eyebrows and said after hearing the voice: "The people in Yuefu sing loudly and are easygoing, and they all respect the etiquette and laws. It's like they are willful and natural."
After saying that, Hu Miao paused, looked at the person on the main seat, and asked: "If Mr. Dong likes it, why don't I call a few actors to come to the house? It's better for these actors to come from Yizhou, mixed with the Bashu dialect.
, more meaningful.”
When the imperial eunuch was recording the affairs of the minister, Dong Chenglue, the Marquis of Wucheng Pavilion, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "It's too noisy."
Dong Feng sighed slightly and said, "Mr. Dong is still angry about Huangfu Yizhen?"
"The Duke of the Manchu Dynasty." Dong Cheng said dullly: "Huang Ziyan, Yang Gongting and others are upright and upright in temperament, and their words are sharp. This is due to their nature. But Huangfu Song is nothing? He can kneel down to greet Dong Zhuo.
How can a person like me have the face to speak politely to me? Am I still no better than Dong Zhongying?"
Dong Feng felt that this statement was unlucky and quickly lowered the curtain to prevent the disparagement from spreading: "Dong Zhuo has usurped power and rebellious ministers, how can he be compared with Dong Gong? This is absolutely unacceptable."
The three of them have just returned from Huaili. Huaili is the seat of Youfufeng and is also where the remaining soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi are currently stationed. There are about 10,000 soldiers and horses in this group. They are not many in number, but they are powerful.
Mainly the old troops of Hussar General Huangfu Song, and the streamlined troops of Pingdi General Ma Teng after he surrendered to the imperial court.
Since the emperor led the Northern and Southern Army on the Eastern Expedition, the defense burden of the three auxiliaries and even the northwest has rested entirely on the shoulders of Hussars General Huangfu Song, the current highest military officer in the DPRK. Huangfu Song became stronger as he grew older and did not dare to neglect at all.
As soon as the emperor left, he moved directly into the military camp and practiced every day, as if he was living the old days of waiting for success again.
Hu Miao glanced at Dong Cheng's expression and knew that in order to comfort him, he had to give him the right medicine, so he said: "Huangfu Song is far away from Chang'an and hiding in the military camp. It is better to say that he does not dare to relax at all. It is better to say that he deliberately escapes."
Seeing Dong Cheng's inquiring gaze, Hu Miao nodded and said affirmatively: "This man has long lost his courage. The older he gets, the more worried, slanderous, and fearful he becomes. This is not the first time he has avoided disputes.
Back then, Dong Zhuo was a master, so he didn't dare to resist; Wang Yun was against the emperor, but he didn't dare to speak out. Now that Dong Gong is at odds with Zhao Gong and others, how can he dare to get in the middle?"
Huangfu Song was granted by the emperor the power to control the military affairs of Yongliang and the three states before leaving. Although it was not as important as Sikong Zhao Wen, Taiwei Dong Cheng and others who were in charge of the court, it was still a decisive force. Dong
Cheng was aware of the changes in the current situation and wanted to win over Huangfu Song. He repeatedly excused himself to stay with the ministers to discuss important matters and asked him to participate by name, but Huangfu Song refused to leave. Even some of the messengers sent privately by Dong Cheng, Huangfu Song avoided
And not see.
Dong Cheng was actually a little angry at Huangfu Song's refusal to give in, so on the advice of Hu Miao and others, Dong Cheng took a group of people out of the city and rushed to Huaili in the name of rewarding the army. Thinking that he would never miss him.
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Song dismissed him with just a few words after seeing him, and in front of all the generals in the army, without giving any chance for a private meeting.
Dong Cheng returned angrily. On the way, he felt that he had been humiliated and was furious. In order to comfort him, Hu Miao and others first asked others to enter the city from other places. They entered through the cross-door, hoping to visit the East and West Market to relieve their emotions.
"Now is not the time to let him avoid disputes." Dong Cheng's eyes moved and he said in a serious voice: "In this Eastern Expedition, all the elites of the Northern and Southern armies have been sent out, and the capital is empty, so it relies on Huangfu Song's more than 10,000 people to defend Liang.
If something happens to the state..."
"In the past, we could talk about 'just in case', but seeing Huangfu Song today and their strict precautions, it is obvious that this is the case." Dong Feng said softly: "The imperial court was busy dealing with the rebellion between the two Yuan Dynasties, and Han Sui had always been rebellious.
Is there any reason not to take advantage of this to plot rebellion? But seeing how Huangfu Song prepared for war with the emperor's military entrustment before the expedition, I'm afraid Sikong Zhaogong had some concerns in his heart. In the past few days, he even asked Dong Gong to allocate a batch of ordnance and food supplies.
Go to Huaili."
"But I don't know." Dong Cheng said resentfully: "If Han Sui rebels, doesn't the emperor want me to intervene in this matter? If so, why should I stay?"
Hu Miao said with relief: "There is no final conclusion on this matter. Han Sui's rebellion has not been revealed, and no one knows what the situation will be. Recently I sent people to inquire and found that there are still many Hu Shang and Liang people in the east and west cities of Chang'an, and there is no trace of any in Liangzhou."
