Chapter 8: The Continued Brothers in the Weiyang Palace
Chapter 8 The brothers in Weiyang Palace ()
Under the leadership of Xiaohuangmen, Mrs. Liu Yan and her party came to Weiyang Palace. In fact, the imperial palaces of the Han Dynasty were not as exquisite as the palaces of later generations. Both Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace were the places where the emperor lived daily. Only Changle Palace and Gui Palace
The palace is where the concubines and queens live. Of course, a palace includes very large rooms. For example, the Weiyang Palace includes the Xuanshi, Qilin, Jinhua, Chengming, Wutai, Diaoyi and other halls, as well as thirty-two pavilions.
Including Shoucheng, Long live, Guangming, Jiaofang, Qingliang, Greenhouse, Yongyan, Yutang, Shouan, Pingjiu, Xuande, Dongming, Feiyu, Fenghuang, Tongguang, Qutai, Baihu, etc. There is also Tianlu Pavilion,
Zhuque Hall, Painting Hall, Jiaguan, etc. The place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty held court meetings and received his courtiers was usually in the Weiyang Palace. As for which palace it was, it depended on the emperor's mood!
Entering the main hall of Weiyang Palace, which is the announcement room, Liu Zhang saw his father chatting happily with a young man. The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing black clothes and a crown. No need to ask, this must be
It’s the current emperor Liu Hong! Of course, he is also Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. However, he is not called Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty yet, because Emperor Ling is Liu Hong’s posthumous title, which will be given by the next emperor after his death! What if now?
Just call him Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. I guess he can drag Liu Zhang out and chop him into pieces!
Of course, when you see the emperor, you must salute, but this ceremony is not a kneeling ceremony. The three kneels and nine kowtows are usually used for sacrifices or court meetings. Even when the common people see the emperor, they only need to kneel down and lower their heads. But people in the Han Dynasty did not
It means sitting on one's knees, which is like kowtowing when saluting. In fact, in the Han Dynasty, it was called "Dunshou", which is a sitting posture!
After the ceremony, Liu Zhang raised his head and began to study the emperor. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, doing so would have been extremely rude and might even require beheading. But in the Han dynasty, there were not such strict rules. Officials could look at the emperor, but common people could not.
! Ordinary children are afraid when they see strangers. Even the children of palace ministers are trembling when they see the emperor. There has never been a child like Liu Zhang who dared to stare at the emperor.
Liu Hong was only seventeen or eighteen years old. When he saw Ji Yu staring at him, his eyes still rolling, he couldn't help but joked: "Aren't you afraid when you see me?"
"Afraid!" He is the emperor after all, so he still has to give him face, otherwise Liu Zhang would be killed before Liu Hong could burp!
"I have also seen children from other families. Most of them will sweat when they see me. When I asked them, they all said that they were frightened when they saw me, so they sweated profusely!" Liu Hong said with a smile: "Why are you also afraid, but not
What about sweating?”
Liu Zhang secretly laughed in his heart. Counting from his previous life, he is now almost 40 years old. If he is scared when he sees a young man of 17 or 18 years old, what else is he doing? It's okay if he pretends to be scared, but if he is scared to the point of sweating,
It was probably more difficult than keeping Liu Bei from crying! Although he was not afraid, he still had to do some face-saving work. Liu Zhang pretended to be trembling and said: "Young man is so scared that you don't dare to sweat!"
"Uncle Emperor, this boy wants it!" Liu Hong laughed loudly and said, "What's your name and how old are you this year?"
"My surname is Liu Mingzhang and my courtesy name is Ji Yu. He is five years old this year!"
Liu Hong was even happier. He was so brave when he was only five years old. If he was trained properly, he would be a hero. Although there were many people in the Han Dynasty who rebelled against the clan, the emperor still believed that the clan was the most reliable. After all, even if the clan rebelled successfully, the world would still be Han.
The family is in the world, and the emperor's surname is still Liu! Let's take Liu Hong and Liu Zhi, they were originally descendants of the clan, but by chance, they became emperors!
"You're a good boy!" Liu Hong thought of another substantive question and asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?"
"Of course to be the emperor!" Liu Zhang replied immediately in his mind, but he only dared to think about it in his mind and never dared to say it out loud. Otherwise, it would not be the emperor's treat for dinner today, but he would have to eat in prison while waiting to be stabbed.
!Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, when I grow up, I will be Huo Qubing, expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, and drive out foreigners!"
"Okay!" Liu Hong was really happy! You know, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he longed for the prosperous years of fighting and fighting. Of course, this was after he had eaten his fill. Before Liu Hong entered the palace,
Being poor, it would be nice to have hot food to eat! If he hadn't been afraid of poverty when he was a child, he wouldn't have worked hard to make money! Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhang with satisfaction and said: "Since you want to be Huo Qubing, I will give the champion to you
You keep it!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Zhang was not polite at all, as if he was already a champion! You know, the title of champion was not a noble title in the Han Dynasty, but the meaning it represented was that it was the crown of the Han Dynasty. It was not just the bravery of the three armies.
, attacked the Hulu from abroad, and was the emperor’s confidant and confidant!
Watching the younger son and the emperor's fluent exchanges, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Then he looked at the other three sons. The eldest son and the second son were okay and behaved very calmly. After all, they were all senior people. And Liu Yan's third son was fine.
The son, exactly what Liu Hong said just now, was trembling with fear and sweating profusely. Liu Yan's three sons were also very surprised when they saw Liu Zhang playing against the emperor, because a dozen days ago Liu Zhang was treated as a deaf-mute idiot joke.
!
"Your Majesty, the banquet is ready!" A small yellow door came in and said: "The Queen please ask Your Majesty to move to Ganquan Palace!"
Originally, the Queen should live in Changle Palace, but due to the experience of Queen Chen Ajiao during the Han Dynasty, Changle Palace became like a cold palace. Most of the concubines living in it were unhappy people, so the Queen lived in Gui Palace. Ganquan Palace was only the palace.
The palace next to Weiyang Palace was where the emperor went to escape the summer heat, and some important political activities were also held there. Now it is most appropriate to host Liu Yan, the emperor's uncle, in Ganquan Palace!
"Gu!" Liu Zhang's stomach growled when he heard that he was eating. He usually had three meals a day, but now it was almost afternoon tea time and he was already very hungry. Liu Zhang touched his head in embarrassment.
He said: "The boy was preparing to have dinner with his mother when he was summoned by His Majesty, but now he is a little hungry!"
"Since the emperor's brother is hungry, let's go to Ganquan Palace!" Liu Hong liked Liu Zhang very much, and now he loves him even more when he sees him as innocent as a child. However, Liu Hong was a little dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's self-proclaimed saying: "Zhang'er
He is the son of the emperor's uncle, that is, my younger brother, and I will call myself my younger brother from now on!"
"Yes! My brother knows it!" Liu Zhang paused and said, "Brother, please forgive me!"
Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded with great satisfaction. Now Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's three brothers were moved! You know, Liu Yan was called the emperor's uncle not only because of blood relationship, but also because of his achievements and Cao Jie's contributions.
. Let’s just say that Liu Zhang’s other three brothers would never dare to call themselves brothers, let alone call Liu Hong his brother. They are also members of the Han clan, and the title can reflect the distance. If Liu Zhang calls him brother, even if he is incompetent in the future.
, he will not be able to escape glory and wealth in his life. If he has a little bit of ability, as long as he does not rebel, even if he cannot be crowned king, why would a duke just play with him? Of course, this is the case if the emperor does not change!
