Chapter 741 The Conqueror
After the Battle of Wenxi, all that was left on the ground in the three counties of Pingyang, Hedong, and Xihe was to appease and eliminate the remaining enemies.
The big war is over, and it is unlikely to happen again. After all, after fighting for a whole year, both sides are a little weak and unable to fight.
On December 16, Shao Xun led his pro-army and rebel troops south from Shilou Mountain and arrived in Pingyang.
He did not rush into the city, but walked around the city first. After all, he was very interested in this capital city that the Huns had built on a large scale.
This city is located in Jindian Town, southwest of Linfen City in later generations, on the west bank of Fen River.
There is Gushe Mountain in the west of the city, and there is Longzi Temple on the mountain, where many nobles from Pingyang go to worship.
Pingyang was actually built according to the Luoyang model. Even the names of the city gates were taken from Luoyang. For example, the current location of Shao Xun is Ximing Gate.
"Fan Gong, I heard that Liu Cong once broke through this gate and entered the palace to kill Liu He?" Shao Xun pointed his riding whip at Ximing Gate and asked with a smile.
Fan Long was captured by the cavalry sent by Hou Feihu to pursue him. Because of his "old history" with Liang Gong, he was not treated as a prisoner. When he returned to Pingyang with the army, he was treated well, so he looked good. good.
"Exactly." Fan Long responded in a low voice.
"Fan Gong is my guest, why should I be cautious?" Shao Xun took his hand and whispered: "Fan Gong should know someone in the Liuyi tribe and please help me."
"Yes." Fan Long bowed and saluted.
Shao Xun glanced at him with satisfaction.
This is a professional worker.
If you are in the Han Dynasty, you will serve the Han Dynasty, if you are in the Jin Dynasty, you will serve the Jin Dynasty.
"How big is this city?" Shao Xun pointed at Pingyang again and asked.
"If you include the houses and buildings outside the city, it covers a radius of ten miles. Construction started during Liu Yuanhai's time and was continued during Liu Xuanming's time until it was completed." Fan Long replied.
Shao Xun nodded, actually it is not small.
Compared with Luoyang, which is twenty miles from east to west and fifteen miles from north to south, Pingyang is slightly larger.
Of course, the area of this city includes both parts inside the city wall and outside the city wall. If only the part inside the city wall is counted, Pingyang and Luoyang are very small, and not as good as the slightly larger county towns in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Times are developing, and the national power of the Han and Wei dynasties was still worse than that of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
"How about the North and South Palaces?" Shao Xun asked again.
“This is modeled after Luoyang Palace.” Fan Long said: “Jiapingzhong has been completed, and the Huiguang and Wenming palaces originally located outside the city have also been enclosed. This is the completion.”
“Let’s go in and have a look.” Shao Xun became interested and said with a smile.
The pro-army troops quickly cleared the way and the group entered through Ximing Gate.
Like Luoyang, Pingyang Palace City is located in the northwest of the city.
On the street, the doors and windows of every house are closed.
The sergeant takes three steps to one post and five steps to one sentry, and is heavily guarded.
Shao Xun walked slowly because he wanted to observe the city more and savor the pleasure of being a conqueror.
When they arrived at Yunlong Gate on the east side of the palace city, Hou Feihu led a group of generals to come forward and salute.
Shao Xun secretly cursed: How did he know that I wanted to enter the palace?
"Feihu is coming." Shao Xun looked the student up and down and said with a smile: "Defeat Liu Cong in one battle, I don't know how many people will envy you. Wang Que'er and Jin Zheng heard this, Tossing and turning, it was hard to sleep."
Everyone laughed.
Hou Feihu also had a smile on his face and said: "Master Shao taught me well and the soldiers fought bravely, so I won this victory."
"No need to be too modest." Shao Xun He smiled and said, "Come on, follow me into the palace. If you see anything you like, take it away. Master Shao will secretly reward you first."
The laughter became even louder.
The people of Pingyang Palace and the chamberlains all knelt on the ground, silently listening to the new conqueror's high-spirited laughter, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
After entering the palace, the most conspicuous building is the Guangji Hall.
This is the main hall of the Han Palace, where Liu Yuan and Liu Cong and their sons held court meetings. There are also side halls on the east and west sides.
"The city is big, and the palace is not small. In my opinion, this Guangji Palace is no smaller than Taiji Palace." Shao Xun stood on the square in front of the palace and said with emotion.
"Ming Gong, Chen Yuanda once said, 'The front of Guangji is enough to serve the queen and serve all nations.' This is the place where the Lord of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, held court, held court meetings, conferred titles, and held banquets. Although it was named a palace, it was actually the place where Palace. After Yuan Hai died, Liu Cong conspired in the East Hall to kill Liu He in the West Hall." Fan Long said softly.
Shao Xun glanced around the east and west side halls and sighed: "The Xiongnu's national power is not strong, but they are building this big hall. How can they be invincible?"
Lao Zixiu Liang Gongdu was careful, trying to extend the time and lighten the burden, but Liu Cong didn't care at all. He wasted national power in order to enjoy it as quickly as possible. This was one of the reasons for his defeat.
Of course, on the other hand, the Xiongnu's national strength is actually not that bad. At least it can support such a luxurious city and palace. All the buildings are completely comparable to Luoyang. I really don't know what to say.
Shao Xun quickly entered the Guangji Hall.
The palace was empty except for a few black soldiers on duty.
All the palace utensils are still there, and Shao Xun is very satisfied. There is no need to waste people's efforts to build the objects for Liang Palace, and he can just move them back as they are.
Soon, his eyes fell on the throne.
Under the gaze of everyone, he strolled around relaxedly. When he arrived in front of the throne, he touched her gently, turned around and sat down.
Everyone was shocked and bowed their heads.
As a minister, even if you capture the enemy's palace, you cannot sit on the throne of the false emperor.
“This throne is really exquisite and elegant.” Shao Xun looked at the throne inlaid with gold and jade and sighed, “Can it be moved back to Bianliang?”
The staff who came with the army They looked at each other in shock, but Hou Feihu responded loudly: "Ming Gong, I will send someone to transport the goods and leave right now." The throne? What's the big deal? Master Shao can’t sit still?
“I don’t know how much people have spent on this building, but it is a pity to destroy it.” Liu Quan, the general of Heqing Town, was secretly annoyed that others had taken the lead, so he quickly made amends and said loudly: “Bianliang The palace is not finished yet, and there is still a shortage of seats. This seat is just in time to be returned, so as not to waste it."
Shao Xun glanced at Hou Feihu and Liu Quan approvingly. These are loyal talents who must be reused in the future. .
"Don't rush." After retracting his gaze, he added: "Send a message to Bianliang, and the various Yamen will select some assistant officers to come to Pingyang and escort a batch of goods. How to raise funds, please ask the Prime Minister and the Shogunate The military department will discuss the new annexation of the state, and I will have to control it for a few months."
After that, he added: "Pass on my military order, the general of the left army, Wang Queer, will also lead the governor of Hedong, and speed up the army. Going south, he went to garrison Anyi and Jiexian to clear out the remaining enemies and pacify the area. "
"Jin Zheng also garrisoned Lishi and Zuoguocheng to control the counties, and appointed Chen Lingtianmao as the governor of Xihe. Hu, immediately went south to Pingyang."
"The state of Liang has added a new general to conquer the captives, with Hou Feihu as his commander, to temporarily garrison Pingyang."
"Send a letter to Taiwei Wang to elect Xiahou Cheng in the name of the imperial court. Act quickly and come directly to Pingyang after joining the official position. , appointed as the governor. "
"The items in the Xiongnu's treasury will be counted immediately and then sent to Bianliang. After delivery, the rewards will be distributed according to the military registration list. "We will give four pieces of cloth to each other. Yicong, Zhuosheng, Luoyan, Xiaoqi and other troops will be given three pieces of cloth."
"Invite all the tribes in Bingzhou to come to Pingyang." In the first month of the first month, I will have a grand feast with the elders of Bingzhou. "
"The list of those who have achieved "miracle achievements" in this battle (first to ascend, to kill generals, to capture flags, to capture battles) will be reported to the army as soon as possible. In addition to the reward, I will also reward the beauties of the Han Palace. "Hongnong's side - let Qi Fuhou lead the army to drive away Pu Hong. Tell him that this is the last chance. "
“The Diqiang Jieba chiefs who are scattered everywhere will send special personnel to care for them, count their tribes, and compile them into a book.”
“Hanoi will transport another batch of grain. Please work harder. "
"The shogunate officials will decide how to deal with the captured Liu Han officials, and then report them to me."
"The Wang family manor in Pishi County will be destroyed immediately. Leave it to General Wu Ya, Yang Quan, and hand over the captured Xiongnu troops to you as soon as possible. I want to see the heads of the Wang clan before the New Year."
"Publish the lists everywhere and order the defeated soldiers to hand over their equipment and go back to their hometowns to live in peace and quiet."
"That's all for now." Shao Xun waved his hand and stood up.
******
In the afternoon, Shao Xun continued to inspect the Han Palace with his generals.
Pro-Army Supervisor Yang Qin came to Jianshi Hall in advance and took Wang Shen and others to the side hall.
Jianshi Hall is located behind Guangji Hall and is functionally the dormitory hall of the Han Dynasty.
Same as Guangji Hall, there are side halls on the left and right, called "Shangqiu Pavilion" in the west and "Chongming Temple" in the east - they were once destroyed by earthquakes and later rebuilt.
Wang Shen and other eunuchs were detained in Shangqiu Pavilion at this time. They all looked gloomy and could not speak.
Yang Qin raised his head and looked out the window. Liang Gong had already entered the Jianshi Hall with the generals to wander around - if nothing unexpected happens, Jianshi Hall will become Liang Gong's bedroom in the next period of time.
After withdrawing his gaze, Yang Qin looked at the jade carving in his hand and said: "No one in Pingyang knows the name of the prince of Zhongchang. Everyone in Pingyang knows that the Wang family is extremely rich. It can’t be compared. Why only a few items were found?”
"Before leaving, Lord Cong of the Han Dynasty confiscated more than half of the property to feed the soldiers. I really can't get it back." Wang Chen shed a few tears and said.
Yang Qin looked at him and sneered.
Wang Chen's heart suddenly jumped and he said: "I remembered, there is a Zhuangzi in the southeast of Pingyang..."
"Tong Qianjin." Yang Qin shouted.
"Yes."
"Take a hundred soldiers and go to the village to pick up the belongings."
"No." Tong Qianjin took the order and left.
Yang Qin paused, approached Wang Chen, and asked in a low voice: "Where does your daughter live?"
"Wenming Palace." Wang Chen cried slowly Slowly stopped.
I don’t know why, my heart is beating fast. Although he lowered his head, there was suddenly light in his eyes.
"Why not Zhaode Hall?" Yang Qin asked.
“This is where Queen Fan lives...” After Wang Chen finished speaking, he explained some more.
The harem is a general term, specifically including Zhaode, Wenming, Huiguang, (same as "Huang") Yi, Jisi Zebaitang and other palaces.
Liu E once lived in the Zhaode Palace. Later, Liu Cong wanted to build the Huangyi Palace for her alone, but Liu E admonished her: "Fu heard that I will build the palace for my concubine, and now Zhaode can live there. It is not urgent. The world is not unified, and disasters are still numerous, so it requires manpower and resources, so it is especially advisable to be cautious."
Of course, in the end, it was only delayed for a while, and Liu Cong still spent people's efforts to complete it.
Zhaode Hall and Wenming Hall are the main halls of the harem area - theoretically speaking, Jianshi Hall can barely be considered part of the harem.
"You have been walking in the harem for many years and are familiar with everything." Yang Qin came closer and said softly: "The upper queen Fan, the left queen Wang, the middle queen Xuan - well, the right queen has already If he dies, then we will invite Mr. Xiao Liu, and the four of them will be sent to a certain palace to be controlled, and a special person will be sent to guard and comfort..."
Wang Chen understood instantly and said: "Huangyi Palace can Yes."
"Why?" Yang Qin asked.
"This palace was built by Liu Cong with great efforts. It is equipped with carved railings and jade pillars. There is also a hot spring pool, where Cong often enjoyed the snow with his concubines while playing in the pool." Wang Chen said flatteringly: "Actually, there are thousands of beauties in the harem, and there are many who are more beautiful than the three queens. I heard that Liang Gong never brings women with him when he goes to war. It has been seven months, and it is really hard to hold it in..."
"Shut up!" Yang Qin scolded lightly and said disdainfully: "Who do you want for Duke Liang? That's Emperor Wu of Jin. Besides, beauty is not the first choice for Duke Liang. You know nothing!"
Emperor Wu of Jin took over all the harems of the defeated ones and transplanted them to Luoyang. Even the maids were wanted.
Yang Qin has been with Shao Xun for a long time and knows that he is still very picky about food, and the good ones are different from others. It's just that there is no need to tell others about this "core knowledge".
"Then lock it up in Huangyi Palace. Lock it up for a period of time first, and let me know immediately when the menstrual period comes." Yang Qin thought for a while and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Keep your mouth shut. Most of Liu Cong's concubines will be rewarded to meritorious ministers, and a few will be sent to Liang Palace to make up for the lack of palace concubines. Don't make any decisions on this matter. ."
"Okay." Wang Chen nodded repeatedly.
Yang Qin looked at Xuanhuai and others again and said, "Please advise them to spit out their belongings as soon as possible."
