Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 667 My knowledge is all mixed...

An undercurrent planned by Dong Bai in Jizhou is brewing, but Chang'an in Guanzhong is still lazy and casual.Although the weather is getting cooler, Liu Xie seems to be more interested than usual.Especially, in the autumn season.

According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, the emperor had to wait until the first gust of autumn wind was greeted in autumn, and then the emperor had to offer sacrifices to the mausoleum temple before the end of the autumn sacrifice.However, it was different from the etiquette in which Dazai ordered to prepare an elk in advance and let the emperor shoot with a bow and arrow.This time Liu Xie mobilized the elite Tiger Ben to enter Shanglinyuan, personally killed an elk, and dispatched Taizai Ling and Ye Zhe to ride fast horses and carry the deer to the Mausoleum Temple to contribute.

Since then, it is customary to send military officers to practice battle formations in the capital's armed forces, and no longer practice the 64 formations of Sun Wu's Art of War.Afterwards, the slaughter of livestock, the rites of battle formation and the ritual of beheading animals all follow the old system.So far, when Liu Xie returned to the palace, he was rewarded with a bundle of civil and military affairs, played the music of Huang Zhong Dali, listened to the song "The Emperor's Coming", and enjoyed the dances of "Yun Qiao" and "Yu Ming".

After the autumn festival, the shooting and hunting activities of scholar-bureaucrats and folks gradually became active.The sons and daughters of officials, aristocratic families, government ministers and even imperial students all served martial arts, rode fast horses, carried bows and arrows, and went hunting in the countryside.But today, when the farming work is over and the harvest of grains is abundant, he enters the Jianzhang Palace on a chariot to enjoy the scenery.

Jianzhang Palace is located outside Chang'an City, across the city from the palaces of Weiyang, so it is a pavilion road across the city.The palace has four gates.The main gate is called Changhe, also known as the Gate of Heaven. It is 25 Zhang (75 meters) high, and it is also called Bi Gate.At a glance, the giant gate towers into the sky.Majestic and magnificent.

This time, the person who was traveling with Liu was no longer a learned attendant, but a relative of the Han family.After sacrificing the ancestral temple this time, Liu Xie saw Liu Fan, the left middle man of the Han Dynasty, Liu Dan, the censor of Zhishu, and Liu Zhang, the captain of Fengche, after the sacrifice. People come to enjoy the autumn scenery of Chang'an together.

This banquet is not rich, except for some seasonal fruits, there are some delicious pastries.Naturally, the minds of the people at the banquet were not focused on these fruit cakes or the autumn scenery of Chang'an.Especially Liu Yan's eldest son, Liu Fan, and second son, Liu Dan, looked up at Liu Xie cautiously from time to time, their faces were full of gloom.Only Liu Zhang seemed to really think that this time he was just enjoying the scenery, and looked at Jinfeng in Jianzhang Palace a little bored.

"After Emperor Gaozu acquired Chang'an, he first built Changle Palace on the basis of Qin Xingle Palace. Later, Prime Minister Xiao He built Weiyang Palace, and established Dongnao, Beinao, Qiandian, Arsenal, and Taicang. Emperor Hui built the Chang'an city wall in three or five years. The West City was built in the sixth year. In the fifth year of Emperor Wu Yuanshuo, Taixue was built outside Anmen in the south of the city. In the second year of Yuanding, Bailiang Terrace was built. In the first year of Taichu, the Zhang Palace was built in Shanglinyuan in the west of the city."

Liu Xie ostentatiously told the history of the Chang'an Palace. Compared to Liu Fan and Liu Dan who looked carefully at each other, he observed any change in the faces of the three brothers in a grandiose way: "When it comes to magnificence, Jianzhang Palace It can be called the first, but its situation is also the most tragic. The Changhe Gate in front of us has been destroyed by war several times. This gate is newly built. Although it can be regarded as majestic, it is still far from the original magnificent."

The reason why the three sons of Liu Yan are still in Chang'an at this time is naturally because of Liu Xie's crossing.Historically, Liu Fan and Liu Dan died early this year when Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled against Chang'an.However, the two of them seem to be still loyal ministers. In the fourth year of Chuping, they conspired with General Ma Teng to attack Chang'an in order to get rid of Dong Zhuo's remaining party Li Jue.As a result, the plan was not kept secret, Liu Fan and Liu Dan were killed, and the sneak attack failed.

As for Liu Zhang, because before that, he was sent by the historical Liu Xie to Yizhou to tell Liu Yan his interests, hoping that Liu Yan would not be so ostentatious in Yizhou, and even built the emperor's imperial chariot, so that people all over the world thought that the Han family was a clan It's all falling apart.As a result, Liu Zhang went to beat the dog with meat buns and never came back.

From this point of view, Liu Xie in history still had some skills.He deliberately sent Liu Zhang, the most incompetent of Liu Yan's descendants, back, and left the two capable eldest and second sons in Chang'an, just to restrain Liu Yan.It's just that Liu Fan and Liu Dan committed suicide by themselves, which made Liu Xie lose his cards all at once, and Yizhou was completely separated from the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is well-versed in the past and the present, and his knowledge is profound, which should be the blessing of all people." Liu Xie's vivid explanation naturally needs someone to join him.Seeing Liu Xie looking at him, Liu Fan responded politely.

When Liu Xie looked at Liu Dan, Liu Dan's eyes were even more evasive, and he said a compliment similar to Liu Fan's.Only when Liu Xie's eyes fell on Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang asked with relish: "Your Majesty, what's so special about that golden phoenix on the top of the hall?"

When Liu Fan and Liu Dan heard Liu Zhang's words, their expressions changed slightly.But Liu Fan was more forbearing, but frowned in displeasure.But Liu Dan reprimanded Liu Zhang bluntly: "Ji Yuxiu is talking nonsense, is Your Majesty a gentleman in your house?"

Liu Xie didn't take it seriously, and waved his hands and said: "You three brothers don't have to be so cautious, we are all of the blood of our ancestors, and today we just came here to enjoy the scenery and chat for a few minutes."

After saying this, Liu Xie looked at Liu Zhang, and his face seemed to become more amiable: "The golden phoenix on the top of the temple was made of copper earlier, and it was plated with gold powder. It is very gorgeous. But it is made of wood. It was destroyed by the hands of Chimei. However, the production is also very exquisite. The direction facing the phoenix mouth is the direction where the wind comes from. If the wind is strong, the sound of the phoenix can be heard when the wind passes through the phoenix mouth. Therefore, there is a song in Chang'an: Once it is called the five grains are born, and then it is called the five grains are ripe. If the golden phoenix is ​​here, it will bless Guanzhong with a good harvest."

"Oh, that's how it is." Liu Zhang gave a salute to Liu Xie as if he was taught, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity, those damn red-browed troops have ruined such a precious Han family." But after saying this, He couldn't help but asked again: "Your Majesty, is this true?"

"Ji Yu!" Liu Dan burst out, and reprimanded Liu Zhang again: "Who is Your Majesty who deserves to deceive you?!"

Hearing Liu Zhang's words like a rich man and the last rhetorical question, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile knowingly: If Liu Zhang like this wasn't that guy in history, Liu Xie would really admire Liu Zhang's acting skills.In fact, according to the information gathered by Jin Yiwei over the years, Liu Xie already knew in his heart that this Liu Zhang was indeed weak and incompetent, and he was a little suspicious.

However, isn't it just such a person that he needs at this time?
Therefore, Liu Xie deliberately changed his voice, and said again: "Those red-browed soldiers are not really treacherous and evil people. At the right time, Wang Mang messed up the government and messed up the world, and these people had no choice but to rise up. These Humans also have a heart of a child.”

"Your Majesty, those who messed up our Han family's status will be unforgivably guilty of a hundred deaths. Your Majesty is not a merciful person, so don't have the kindness of this woman!" When Liu Dan heard that Liu Xie was still speaking for those red-browed soldiers, he was shocked for a while. With a sullen expression on his face, he said this.

Liu Xie shook his head lightly. According to Jin Yiwei's information and his judgment at the moment, this Liu Dan is just a simple character.Although he was a little smarter than Liu Zhang, he saw that the purpose of inviting the three brothers to come today was not that simple.But he is violent and irritable, and his emotions are written on his face. He is not a person who makes big things happen.

Perhaps, also because of this, in history this person became the subordinate of his elder brother Liu Fan, and acted according to his elder brother's plan.But when Liu Xie's eyes turned back to Liu Fan, Liu Fan followed Liu Xie's words and said, "Your Majesty must have a reason for this sigh, right?"

Liu Xie nodded secretly in his heart, this Liu Fan is not simple.Unfortunately, he fell into his own hands.So, Liu Xie smiled slightly, and continued to tentatively tell a story: "Didn't you hear about picking up mulberries and strange weapons?"

Liu Fan frowned slightly, and replied in embarrassment: "My humble minister is ignorant and ignorant, please enlighten me."

Only then did Liu Xie touch his forehead, and then he realized that he had made another oolong: the matter of picking up mulberries and strange weapons is a story in 24 filial piety.And "24 Filial Piety" is the story of 24 filial sons in ancient times compiled by Guo Jujing in Yuan Dynasty. Of course, there is another saying that it was written by his younger brother Guo Shouzheng, and there is also a third saying that it was written by Guo Juye.But in any case, it was a matter of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is still far away...

But fortunately, the matter of "picking up mulberry and foreign weapons" was about the Red Eyebrow Army at that time, otherwise Liu Xie really didn't know how he could lie.

"No way, just thinking about fooling the three brothers, I forgot my knowledge all of a sudden, I've learned everything..." Liu Xie thought to himself, and quickly drank honey water to calm the shock.
