Northern Dynasties

Chapter 381
Jinyang is located in the heartland of Bingzhou, inside and outside the mountains and rivers. It is the north gate of the Central Plains known as the famous pass in the east and the strong Hu in the north. hub core.

Jinyang City has a long history of construction. With the changes of the times, it gradually developed from a small city with several miles in the Warring States Period.In the early days of Wu Huanhua, Liu Kun of the Western Jin Dynasty stationed in Bingzhou to resist the regime of Han Zhao Liu Yuan, and built Jinyang City into a large city with a cycle time of more than [-] miles, which also laid the foundation for the scale of Jinyang City today.

After the Six Towns Uprising, the Erzhu clan first built the Overlord's Mansion in Jinyang, and did a lot of civil construction.And after Gao Huan pacified the Erzhu family, he also established the Overlord Mansion in Jinyang.

Like most of the male cities and towns of this era, Jinyang City today is not just a single city, but a complex of buildings composed of many large and small cities and palaces.

The largest city in Jinyang is Beicheng District, with Bingzhou City in the east, where the prefectural government is located, and Jinyang Guocheng in the west, which is the main residential and commercial area.

Outside Jinyang Guocheng, there is a moat named Fengguchuan, which is a tributary of the Fenshui River. Between the plains and valleys on the north bank of Fengguchuan, there are many fortresses, dock walls and cities.Some of these are the military cities where Xianbei was stationed in the six states, and some are gathering places built by Hu merchants.

Although this area occupies more than half of Jinyang City, it is not the main body of the city.

Guocheng in Jinyang faces south, and there is a magnificent and magnificent palace complex by the west mountain, which is not integrated with Guocheng, but a city of its own.

This palace city is called Jinyang Palace. It is a separate palace built by His Majesty Yecheng Emperor Gao Huan, King of Bohai last year. The planning layout is extremely grand, and it is still under construction, but some palace rooms have already been put into use.

The emperor in Ye City was originally a puppet, so naturally he would not come to live in Jinyang Palace.Therefore, Jinyang Palace was mainly used to house slaves who were convicts of officials and prisoners of war. These slaves were imprisoned here, and they had to work all day long to manufacture various military uniforms for the troops around Jinyang.

Therefore, although Jinyang Palace has the name of a palace garden, it is actually an official workshop, which is connected with the military workshops adjacent to Fenshui on the east side of the palace city, continuously making weapons for the army.

In the southern area of ​​Jinyang Palace, several sub-cities with tall and strong walls are densely lined up, and elite troops are all stationed in these sub-cities.Among these military cities, there is another large-scale fortified city, which is the Great Prime Minister's Mansion where the Overlord's Mansion of the Eastern Dynasty is located.

To the south of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Jinshui River. On both sides of the river, there are a large number of honorable mansions. Some mansions are no less than a small city in size, and their relatives and cronies live in them.Around these mansions, there are also some merchant shops that provide various services for the powerful.

These areas with different functions together constitute the world-famous Jinyang City.And this is just the main building of Jinyang City. Looking at it from a larger perspective, there are also Liuzhou Zhoucheng and other military cities built by overseas Chinese around Jinyang City to house the Xianbei soldiers of the Six States.

The Xianbei of Liuzhou is mainly composed of soldiers from the original six towns. They have been following since Gaohuan Hebei rebelled against Erzhu's hegemony, and later joined troops from other parties.

These people and horses together formed the Jinyang army. I don't know that there is a son of heaven under Ye, but the king of Bohai is the first to look forward. He only needs an order from the prime minister's mansion to gather an army of tens of thousands in an instant. Gao Huan relied on it to dominate Hebei, The most basic force to check and balance all parties!

In early July, the weather in Jinyang City was also hot and dry. Although the Jinshui River from the south of the city passed through the city, many dignitaries in the south of the city dug the river waywardly to divert it, so that the river channel was blocked and almost stagnant. No matter how much heat you walk, you will breed a lot of mosquitoes and flies.

Every time a powerful and powerful person walks along the river, the servants have to light the moxa sticks to make incense and use the smoke to drive away the mosquitoes and flies, so as not to be disturbed.Therefore, every year after summer, the spice trade in the south of Jinyang City is the most prosperous, and there are large and small spice shops everywhere.

Located on the west side of Jinyang City, Xishan is home to a series of offshoots of Luliang Mountain, including Longshan Mountain and Mengshan Mountain. It not only provides natural protection to the west of Jinyang City, but also serves as an excellent summer resort for residents in the city.

In the old years, there were often Jihus here. Last year, the Bohai King's troops wiped out the Jihu thieves in Luliang Mountain, which made the bandits less and less. Afterwards, they built a summer resort in the Longshan Mountains.

After a heavy rain, there is a cool breeze in the mountains, and the mountains and forests illuminated by the rising sun are more verdant and refreshing.

Under the attic window, a plump woman in a long white dress was combing her hair in a bun in front of the mirror.The woman is about 40 years old, but she still has fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and there may be a few wrinkles around the corners of her eyes and lips, but she is still beautiful and moving under the application of makeup and powder.

While combing her slightly thinning hair, the woman looked at the face reflected in the bronze mirror. She felt that she was more spring-like than usual, so she couldn't help turning her eyes to look at the long-haired man who was still sleeping on the couch under the curtain. The big figure, the affection between the eyebrows and eyes is more intense, showing the coquettish and coquettish attitude of a twenty-eight girl.

But this coquettish state didn't last long. A maid who came in to give gifts accidentally walked and knocked the bead curtain between the pavilion doors shaking and making noise. Immediately, she was as cold as a knife, and turned her eyes to glance at the maidservant. The maidservant was already pale with fright, thanks to the quick-eyed and quick-handed support of her left and right companions, she was saved from lying on the ground directly.

"It's already dawn!"

At this time, a deep and lazy voice sounded from inside the curtain, and the beautiful woman glared at the maidservant again, and then she quickly got up and walked into the room. In just a few steps, her expression turned back to the previous glamorous and coquettish : "Your Majesty has not rested calmly for a long time, and my concubine did not dare to disturb you when she saw that the King was fast asleep."

The man lying high on the couch stood up on his knees, then stretched out his long arms, and took the woman into his arms, covering the plump and soft place with his big hands affectionately, chuckled twice and sighed: "Half a lifetime!" After passing by, there are many waiters in the couch, and this is the only one who can know the deepest heart, and it is He Liuhun's luck to be with Madam in this life!"

This person only wears unlined clothes, but his body is still strong and tall, his eyes are deep and his nose is protruding, and his eyes are deep and powerful. Already mixed with gray and white, but the eyebrows, eyes and facial features can still be called heroic and graceful. When he is unsmiling, he is majestic and intimidating, but now there are a few frivolous smiles on the corners of his mouth, but he looks free and easy.

This person is the Great Prime Minister of the Eastern Dynasty, Gao Huan, King of Bohai, and the person in his arms is his wife Lou.

After being embraced by Gao Huan, Lou's body leaned close to Gao Huan's body as if boneless, and there was also a deep infatuation in his eyes, but after listening to Gao Huan's love words, his eyes were full of tears. A trace of loneliness flashed through, and he sighed softly: "Your Majesty came to visit yesterday, and he said that he was gentle and considerate, just like when he was at the beginning of Zhen Yuan Ding.

The concubine knows that the king is guilty, and she is greedy for tenderness and refuses to give up. It is not the great fortune of the concubine to be able to obey the king.But today, but today... Alas, why is your majesty bothering to be so affectionate, the mountains are windy and humid, and the dew is thick, it is not a place for nobles to stay for a long time.If I get this lucky one night, my concubine will be able to be grateful for a long time. "

Hearing Lou's words, Gao Huan's guilt deepened.He is not a person devoted to chastity, but he also knows how to repay kindness. Lou is not only his married wife, but also a noble person who changed his life. Having the right wife, looking for a place to live in another place, and still having no complaints against him, even a heart as hard as stone will be softened by the warmth of this dedication without complaint or regret.

"In the old year, I miscalculated for a while, and the thieves became a great evil. The thieves turned out to be stubborn and refused the king's orders. Everyone in the world is looking at me as honorable and respectful. I used to be intoxicated by this, but now the husband and wife want to live apart and run away. I have worked half my life, but I am not as happy as I was in the old years. Although I am not afraid of the world's ridicule, I feel sorry for my wife. If a woman's love is not enough, let alone the trust of the king and the people..."

Gao Huan lowered his eyes to look at his wife who couldn't hide the sadness between her brows and eyes, and couldn't help but sighed again.

When Lou heard this, she shook her head again and again: "How can such despicable words come from the mouth of the king! The king is a hero who saves the world. This is the public opinion of the people of the world. Western thieves have no loyalty, and the king is worried about this." Among them, the thieves will not have the slightest feeling. The only thing is to govern the state affairs diligently, break through the barriers with troops, cut off his neck, and then ask if he regrets? It is too late for regret, the king will punish the thieves for the world!"

Gao Huan was already a hero in the world, with a tenacious heart, and only because he felt ashamed of letting down his wife, he made such a sad voice. Hearing Lou's words of encouragement at this moment, he couldn't help but feel aroused again. The lady hugged her tightly in her arms, and said with a big laugh: "Fortunately, the lady is not a man, so that I will have one less powerful enemy and one more virtuous helper in the world! My lady will stay here for the time being to escape the summer heat. When the autumn cools down, I will return victorious." , chariots and horses welcome the lady back home, there is no evil in the world that can separate husband and wife!"

When Lou heard this, her eyes were full of anticipation. Seeing that the morning sun was higher, she hurriedly washed and dressed her husband, and even carefully collected the beard and hair that had fallen on the felt mat, and put them into a jade box for collection. It can be seen that I really love Gao Huan in my heart, even though they have been husband and wife for many years, the love in my heart is still the same as when they were in love.

After Gao Huan finished dressing up, he regained his majestic and majestic image of the King of Bohai, and was no longer the confidant husband who was ashamed and comforted his wife softly.

But when he walked into the main hall of this mountain residence, Duan Shao, the Duke of Guzang who had been waiting here, stepped forward and whispered that Princess Zhuzhu's uncle Tutujia had followed him here, and he was roaring and questioning in the barracks at the foot of the mountain.

After Gao Huan heard this, his face darkened immediately, he just took a deep breath, and then said with a sneer: "In the future, there must be such a cave on the side of Yuwen Black Otter Hill!"
