Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 523: Sleepless Night
Late at night, people are not quiet.

Liu Xie tossed and turned on the bed, still unable to fall asleep.

The Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty was quite big, but as the place where the emperor slept, it was not that big.

The bed is actually a bit like a pocket-sized room, enclosing a rectangular parallelepiped space with carved patterns, leaving a front area for climbing onto the bed.

Liu Xie glanced at the ever-burning lamp not far from the bed.

During this period of time, the oil in the lamp has been replaced with fish oil from rapeseed oil. There is no black smoke or smell. It seems that the wick has also been replaced, right?

At least now it is rare to hear the crack of a wick in the middle of the night.

Liu Xie turned over and looked at the top of the bed. After stealing the veil, he could vaguely see a large pattern and some squares.There are 81 squares on the left and 81 squares on the right, a total of 160 squares...

As for the large pattern, besides the coiled dragon in the middle of the cloud, there are also five cranes and nine bats, as well as some clouds, branches and leaves, flowers and fruits...

Liu Xie is very familiar with these things, and even knows where they are without looking.

Even everything in this room, Liu Xie is very clear.

The right claw of the dragon carved on the top of the third pillar on the left side of the house does not know why, but it lost a fingertip anyway...

There is a piece of wood carving on the right, which is probably damp, and there are already some small bubbles on the paint surface, which may start to fall off after a while...

In the past, when he couldn't sleep at night, Liu Xie would count and watch over and over again, until he was exhausted before he could fall asleep.

But some time ago, um, it should have been since Dong Thief was put to death, Liu Xie basically fell asleep when the time came, and he could sleep until dawn.

But today, for some reason, Liu Xie couldn't sleep again...

Depressed, Liu Xie turned over again, this time the movement was a little bigger, and he kicked his foot on the bed board beside him, making a muffled "boom".

Perhaps it was awakened by this voice, a small black head quickly appeared not far away, and then a figure got up from the ground, a few steps to Liu Xie's bed, and saw Liu Xie shining in the dark at a glance Eyes, can't help but subconsciously say: "Can't sleep again, Your Majesty?"

Liu Xie gave a "hmm", sat up with the brocade quilt in his arms, and said, "Dong Huan, bring your quilt here, let's talk..."

"Wei, Your Majesty." Dong Huan of the little Huangmen moved lightly, and soon spread a cotton quilt on the floor at the foot of Liu Xie's bed.

"... In two days' time, there will be a big sacrifice..." As soon as Liu Xie thought of this incident, he felt his heart pounding and it was difficult to calm down.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Dong Huan hugged the quilt, leaned his back against the foot of Liu Xie's bed, rubbed it twice, and replied.

"Although this is not the first time I have participated in a grand ceremony, but... um..." Liu Xie didn't know how to describe it, and finally hesitated, and said, "...It's not the same anyway..."

Although what Liu Xie said was a bit inexplicable, Dong Huan could understand it.

As a little eunuch who grew up with Liu Xie since he was a child, he is called a playmate in some good words, but in fact he is Liu Xie's backer.No matter what Liu Xie did wrong, such as running outside on a rainy day, such as catching bugs for fun, etc., whoever breaks the rules, the first person to be punished must be Dong Huan.

The court guards who carried out the execution of the punishment were very measured, they would not be cruel, nor would they leave any internal injuries, but they would definitely beat Dong Huan's two thighs to pieces, dripping with blood, which was shocking...

I called Liu Xie.

Fortunately, Liu Xie was very smart. After being reprimanded for some things, he basically never committed them again, so Dong Huan did not suffer too many punishments.

In the dead of night, it is the time for these two to be alone together. Of course, when Liu Xie is 13 years old, he will start marrying the queen and concubines, etc. At that time, there will be another person in this small bedroom joined in...

Dong Huan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, this time is different."

Liu Xie said excitedly: "You know, this time it will be changed to Wen Wu!"

Wenwu and Wuwu are the most important ceremonial music and dance during the royal sacrifices in the Han Dynasty. In fact, the dance team is not two groups of people, but the same team, but the display of "wen" or "wu" is determined by the dancers. The differences in tools and actions are displayed.Wen Wu is Chi Yuyan, and Wu Wu is Chi Qian Qi.

There is no problem in choosing Wenwu and Wuwu for sacrifices. It’s just that at the end of Emperor Han Ling’s reign, he fought all the year round. First, the Qiang people in Xiliang, and then the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so they have always used the symbol representing martial bravery. Most of them are martial arts.Later, after Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, because of Dong Zhuo's personal hobbies, he always used martial arts...

Dong Huan also looked forward to it, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it seems that I haven't seen Wen Wu for a long time..."

The colorful feathers, compared to relatives, at least in Dong Huan's opinion, no matter from that angle, they look better...

Liu Xie gave a hum, and continued: "...and we will also add the music and dance of 'Zhaode' to the 'food and music'..." Thinking of this, Liu Xie was inevitably a little excited. The dance of Zhaode is a commemorative Emperor Wen did it, "pass through the customs, but not far away; eliminate slander, eliminate corporal punishment, reward elders, and accept loneliness, so as to chase the crowd." Does this mean that I hope that I can quell the war and restore the power of Hanwei like Emperor Taizong? mean?

Dong Huan replied earnestly: "Your Majesty must be like His Majesty Taizong, be virtuous and benefit the world."

Speaking of Emperor Taizong, Liu Xie also put away his smile, with a stern face, nodded solemnly, and then said: "Tomorrow I want to go to the Taimiao first... It's been a long time since I came to Chang'an, and there is no I have been there a few times... the spirit of the ancestors in the sky, do you think that my descendants are not filial..."

Strictly speaking, the Taimiao in Chang'an and the Taimiao in Luoyang are not in the same system.Chang’an Taimiao takes Liu Bang as the main line, while Luoyang’s Taimiao takes Liu Xiu as the main line…

Although Liu Xie's surname is Liu, in a sense, his lineage is more inclined to Liu Xiu, and Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is already considered thin.

However, now Luoyang's Taimiao has been reduced to ashes, leaving only the Taimiao here in Chang'an. Although the Ancestral Tablet was added to it, but...

how to say……

Anyway, Liu Xie still felt a little weird in his heart, so he seldom went there.

But now, should I go talk to my ancestors?
The treacherous official who caused the disaster of the Han Dynasty has been put to death, and with the help of Wang Situ, it will definitely get better!

Liu Xie clenched his fists, with a hint of a smile, looking forward to, imagining...

After a while, Liu Xie suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, who Fei Zhonglang have you met, what do you think of this person?"

"..."

Liu Xie didn't hear Dong Huan's response for a long time, so he couldn't help stretching his head to take a look, only to see that Dong Huan couldn't hold on anymore, and fell asleep with his head tilted on the foot of the bed.

Liu Xie curled his lips, but did not wake Dong Huan, so he moved his body and lay down again. After a while, he also closed his eyes, his breath gradually became low, and he also fell asleep.

Situations like this, in this Weiyang Palace, the master and servant have experienced many times, but this time may be a little different...

But, who knows?
　Big Data.

　　I remembered that the author Bacteria also took a data mining class when he was in college...

　　There were even research monks who specialized in deep mining of economic data at that time...

　　But as I recall, at the time, no such theory had been proposed...

　　Or it already exists, but it is not open to ordinary people...

　　In a sense, a person's behavior can be completely divided into various 0s and 1s in the electronic age...

　　A fixed IP, when all are monitored by the data network, then the behavior of this IP can be outlined, like to buy skirts or pants, like red or blue, like travel or food, like radical or conservative, like political system or individual……

　　All in all, outline an outline that is not you, but is indeed you, and then you can predict what you will do next...
