Chapter 594 Information Cocoon Room
What are the people living in the information cocoon room like? That’s Wang Jun.
Early in the morning, dozens of beautiful maids walked in like butterflies in flowers.
Someone is holding the Jinxian Crown in his hand.
This crown is seven inches high in front, three inches high in back, eight inches long, and has three beams on it.
According to the system, the Wuliang Jinxian Crown was reserved exclusively for the emperor, and had a similar function to the Yuanyou Crown - this crown was used by emperors, princes, and princes.
Those who have been ennobled by the Three Dukes and the Marquis of the Township, Ting, or above can wear the Sanliang Jinxian crown.
The ministers, officials, ministers, governors, prime ministers, doctors, Guanzhonghou, Guanneihou, etc. wear the Erliang Jinxian crown.
Low-level civil servants wear the Yiliang Jinxian crown.
In fact, Wang Jun also found someone to make a five-liang Jinxian crown, and he wore it from time to time. There is no doubt that this is an obvious violation of the rules, but the people below praise his good looks every day and praise the great achievements of the King and Governor. Dai Yidai doesn't seem so unacceptable, right?
Someone else was holding a set of white official uniforms.
It is already August and you should wear white official uniforms with exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship.
At this time in Luoyang, due to financial difficulties, the emperor had issued an edict ordering officials to prepare their own official uniforms.
High-ranking officials can also bring their own five sets of official uniforms - cyan in spring, vermilion in summer, yellow in summer (June), white in autumn and soap in winter.
Lower-level officials are not so good. With all the farmsteads lost and salaries incomplete, it was really difficult to support a large family, so the emperor no longer asked them to prepare various official uniforms, as long as they had one set.
Therefore, the clothes of the officials who go to court now are a bit messy, and they are not comparable to those ten or twenty years ago, just like this country that is in decline.
In addition to the crown and official uniform, there are also shoes and socks.
The shoes are woven with eight-color silk thread, embellished with dozens of pearls, and embroidered with the inscription: "Wealthy and prosperous, Yihou Wang, God prolongs life."
Socks are also sewn with silk thread. It is made of a belt with several pearls on it - the belt is used to fasten the socks.
After the maids entered the room, they lined up in a row, smiling and looking at the bad old man who had just gotten up.
Wang Jun is sixty-four years old. In the past ten years, my life has become increasingly luxurious and my body has decayed. Doesn’t that make me old?
It is a pity that we can only admire so many beauties but cannot eat them.
My wife Cui has already put on her clothes.
Wang Jun’s third wife Hua Fang died of illness in the first year of Yongjia (307). The following year, Governor Wang, who had a growing reputation in Hebei, couldn’t wait to marry Cui Yan, the great-granddaughter of the famous minister Cui Yan. The surname of his fourth wife is Lao Wang, who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. His four wives, Wen, Wei, Hua and Cui, are all from famous families.
Now seven years have passed, and Cui is only twenty-one years old.
With a polite and dignified smile on her face, she served Wang Jun to put on his clothes.
To be honest, with her background, she didn’t have to do these things at all, she could just leave them to the maids, but she still did it herself, and outsiders knew about it and praised them all.
However, Cui seems to be too polite.
Just smile demurely, but being polite is not appropriate. After all, we are husband and wife.
Wang Jun glanced at this little wife with regret.
He was already fifty-seven years old seven years ago, and he married Cui for the purpose of plotting against Jizhou. However, when he was young, he was loose and dissolute, but when he got old, he was a little powerless, and he never really entered this woman's heart.
In the past seven years, he was "busy with official duties" and had less time to come back. He often slept in the study. Overall, he felt guilty.
"Are there any guests coming today?" After getting dressed, Wang Jun went to wash up and asked casually.
The maid immediately brought the gold basin and other utensils.
Mrs. Cui supported Wang Jun and felt her arms sink. It turned out that Wang Jun had just gotten up and his legs and feet were a little unsteady. After using a little force to stabilize him, he said softly: "Husband, Ambassador Shi Le has been staying at the post for several days. It’s been months, and I’ve been asking to see you.”
“I’ve seen you once, so why haven’t you left yet?” Wang Jun frowned.
"The envoy asked to see him again, so he stayed at the post office." Ms. Cui said.
Wang Jun sneered and said: "Shi Le also knows how to ask for me?"
"My husband is a high-ranking official, a noble prince, holds a heavy army, and is powerful in the north. Shi Le is like Like a bereaved dog, she can only take shelter from her husband," Ms. Cui said.
Wang Jun laughed loudly and went to wash up.
Mrs. Cui waved her hand, and the maids came forward to serve.
She stood quietly aside with a calm face.
Everyone in Youzhou’s counties and counties who are not blind knows that the problem is serious.
Once Shao Xun takes possession of the essence of Henan and Hebei, the situation is set. What is his next goal? Either Qingzhou or Youzhou.
Can Youzhou resist? Even a fool knows it can't be stopped.
But the shogunate generals and ministers are all sycophants. They can only say nice things to coax and deceive, and they make their husbands play around. They are so happy that in the past few years, there were many overlords in the mansion. Making utensils.
In the past few years, the situation has changed dramatically, and Shao Xun has risen strongly. Otherwise, the husband might have to oversee the country or even become emperor. In fact, he appointed many Jizhou officials, and he was still in the Luoyang court. Under the circumstances, this is tantamount to treason.
Cui tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail, so she gave up. Just follow his words, that way he will be happy and your life will be better.
Of course there were loyal and upright people in the shogunate who tried to persuade him, but it was of no use. So he either changed his tune and started to flatter himself, or he went to western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning to seek refuge with Cui Ao and Murong Xianbei.
What is the highest level of lying? Tell the lies you like to hear.
Why did Shogun Sana's lies that were full of loopholes work? My husband likes to hear it, but there is nothing you can do! After rustling for a while, Wang Jun finally finished washing.
Ms. Cui stepped forward and took his hand, and walked to the dining room. On the way, she said: "Taiwan also came to see me yesterday. My husband was still drunk, so I asked him to Go back."
"Oh? What's the matter with him?" Wang Jun asked.
"Please adjust the grain."
Wang Jun thought about it carefully and then remembered. It turned out that a general asked Chen Bing to change the water to guard against foreign enemies.
As for who the foreign enemy is, it may be the Huns or Shao Xun.
Of course, some people requested to take advantage of the opportunity of Shi Le's defeat to go south to seize Changshan, Zhongshan, Gaoyang, Hejian, Zhangwu and Wang Jun's feudal state Boling, and compete with Shao Xun for Jizhou.
Don't tell me, this second suggestion is quite to Lao Wang's liking, and many people agree with it. Only his son-in-law, Zao Song, Zao Taichan, opposes it. He believed that Youzhou should stick to Yishui, not participate in the battle between the Xiongnu and Shao Xun, and just stay neutral.
"What Taiwanese people said in the past was mostly to my liking. But after a trip to Yecheng, what I said became even more unpleasant." Wang Jun was a little unhappy and said, "Shao Xun is also arrogant. Domineering, after taking Yecheng, I don't care about me anymore. I think back then, I was the first to take Yecheng and drive away Sima Ying. Without me, Sima Yue would not be able to win, and he, Shao Xun, came out. There is no end, it’s true that kindness will be repaid with hatred.”
Mrs. Cui covered her mouth and chuckled, shook Wang Jun's arm and said, "Isn't it a good opportunity to take Jizhou now?"
Wang Jun first smiled proudly, and then frowned.
To capture Jizhou, you must have soldiers. Wuhuan's son-in-law Su Shuyan defected to the Xiongnu, and Xianbei's son-in-law Duan Wuwuchen's tribe had a falling out with him. Now he can only recruit some miscellaneous men, who are not good at fighting and have a lot of troubles, which is very troublesome.
“There are no soldiers.” Wang Jun sighed.
The two of them have arrived at the dining hall, and the servants have brought breakfast.
"My husband is occupying the country of Youdu, a brave country, and the land of sudden cavalry across the whole Yan Dynasty. How can I say that I have no soldiers?" Cui said.
Wang Jun was very happy when he heard this.
My wife is still young, but she is very showy, unlike those stupid women.
I have married four wives in my life, and this one is the most satisfying. No one else is smart!
"Why use the soldiers of Youdu?" Wang Jun smiled proudly and said: "Those Xianbei people whose lives are worth less than weeds can also be driven by me."
Ms. Cui handed over two plates, both containing steamed cakes.
Wang Jun took it and took a bite. The sweet aroma overflowed and he was full of praise: A good wife knows me!
He likes to eat fermented sweet steamed cakes.
For this reason, his wife sent people back to her hometown and invited a chef who was good at this to make flowering cross steamed cakes for him.
I also knew that he liked sweet cakes, so he stuffed the cakes with walnut pulp and dried dates that he liked very much.
This woman is really good at taking care of others. With her taking care of the family business, she will be worry-free.
After eating a steamed cake filled with walnut pulp, Wang Jun picked up the tea soup, gargled his mouth, and said: "If I send people to Daijun and lure them with money, Tuoba Xianbei will not dare not come. ."
"The Hu chiefs are all being played with by their husbands," Cui looked at Wang Jun with admiration and said.
"Haha." Wang Jun was elated and said, "I used to think that Tuoba Xianbei was not pleasing to the eye, but now it seems that he is much better than Duan Wuwuchen and his gang."
Last time we called The son-in-law sent troops and refused. So he spent money to hire Tuoba Xianbei, his former enemy who still occupied Daijun, to attack Duanbu Xianbei, but he was defeated. But even so, Wang Jun still felt that Tuoba Xianbei was good, so Daijun rewarded them and could use them in the future.
If you go to invite Tuoba Xianbei again this time and promise him wealth and women, he will definitely send troops. This is a usable army.
With this soldier here, Shao Xun is afraid that he will run away.
Anyway, Wang Jun has never seen anyone who can not collapse in front of Xianbei light and heavy cavalry, regardless of infantry or cavalry.
"If your husband is interested in Jizhou, this will be a good opportunity." Mrs. Cui handed over another marrow cake and said.
This cake is made from high-quality beef bone marrow from Peiping and honey from Baishan Mountain. It is mixed with Fanyang's fine flour. It is four to five minutes thick and seven to eight inches wide. It is baked in a Hu cake oven. The cake is plump, long-lasting, crispy and fragrant in the mouth, and has always been a good product that can only be enjoyed by the upper class.
Wang Jun hesitated and looked at his wife again.
Cui is brewing jujube rice (chǎo) for him.
She made this by herself. She collected red and soft jujubes, dried them in the sun, and boiled them in a large cauldron until the water only submerged itself. Strain it out as soon as it boils, grind it in a basin, then wring out the thick juice with a raw cloth, spread the remaining liquid evenly on a plate, expose it to the hot sun in midsummer, collect it after drying, and then disperse it into powder.
It is also made into cubes. When using, cut off a corner, put it into water, shake and stir, and you will have a bowl of jujube pulp. You can take some of it with you when traveling far away. It is refreshing, sweet and sour, and is a rare travel drink.
Cui is very attentive and attentive.
Wang Jun nodded secretly, how could a good wife harm me?
What good will she do without me?
In other words, what are the disadvantages of following me?
Alas, worrying about the world is unfounded and disturbing. Recently, there are always people saying that people from the Cui family of Qinghe came to Youzhou to visit and stayed away for a long time. Their relatives came and went, so why are you so noisy!
On the other hand, Fan Yanglu's people were moving around and practicing all the time, which was a bit suspicious.
If they go south to attack Jizhou, they may be allowed to be the vanguard to clarify their ambitions. If you don't comply, you have a different intention and should get rid of it.
As for Shao Xun, will he be dissatisfied? Haha, when You Yan's cavalry charges forward, Sima Ying can't stop it, Liu Bogen can't stop it, Ji Sang can't stop it, Shi Le can't stop it, and Shao Xun can't stop it either.
Well, it’s time for the Bolingcui family to send someone to give some advice. Did he lose his mind and actually surrender to Shao Xun?
We must teach them a lesson!
After finishing breakfast happily, Wang Jun patted his belly with satisfaction.
This belly is probably dozens of kilograms heavier, and it's not what it used to be.
At this moment, a servant came to report: Chang Shi Zaosong asked to see him.
