Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 646
A group of carriages stopped in front of the Luoyang city gate, and the servants driving the carriage got out of the carriage. They saw something with the soldiers guarding the city gate, and after a word, the soldiers didn't dare to stop them anymore, and hurried out of the way, showing extra respect , while the big clans who were waiting for the soldiers to interrogate them were a little puzzled. This is Luoyang City. No matter who it is here, it is impossible for the soldiers to let them go so easily.

Could it be the emperor's microservice private visit? ?

They guessed in their hearts, but this carriage was just a dilapidated little carriage, with no guards at the front and rear, only an old slave was driving the horse, and the servant looked like a bearded man, and it didn't look like the yellow gate in the palace. You know, just two days ago, the son of King Chenliu was interrogated at the city gate, and a strong crossbow was found. He refused to follow the soldiers and made a big noise in front of the city gate. As a result, he was strangled by Yuan Shang who came later. Dragging away by the neck.

Who is in this carriage that can make Luo Yang's gatekeepers so polite?
Everyone was curious but did not dare to ask. They didn't want to cause any trouble, so they could only watch the carriage swaying into Luoyang City. The carriage was very dilapidated. The vehicle didn't stop at all, but they rushed all the way, but they came to the gate of a glorious group of halls located in the north of the city, close to the imperial palace. There were not many people coming and going here. Get off the carriage slowly.

The old man looked a little stooped, a little old-fashioned, his whole face was wrinkled, and even his eyebrows were gray. He stood in front of the halls, raised his head, and looked at the situation here. He looked for a long time before staying Holding his crutches, he walked towards the group of halls. As soon as he reached the door, a soldier stood in front of him. Looking at the age of the old man, the soldier did not dare to be rude, and said respectfully: "Old man, no one else is allowed to enter here." .”

The old man raised his head, looked at the young soldier in front of him, and said: "I am Xing Yong, the order of Zhongshu." He nodded slightly, the soldiers were a little nervous, Xing Ziang was a man of virtue, this old minister who had followed Emperor Xiaokang, among the twelve sages in Jianning, this person was the only one alive.

The soldier looked at Xing Gong in front of him, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and said tremblingly: "Xing Gong forgive me, I... I... I don't know, let me report it, okay?", Xing Ziang nodded Nodding his head, the servants beside him also stood beside him quietly. Xing Ziang is a virtuous man of good character, and most of his close relatives have also been infected with his disposition, gentle and humble.

After waiting for a while, I saw a small official running over in a hurry, bowed to Duke Xing, and then gave way. Logically speaking, this is the Zhonglie Hall, and only when the emperor wants to worship , can be opened, or some veterans, such as the original Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, when they come to visit, the officials will not stop it. This is one of the privileges given by the emperor to the veterans.

Mr. Xing is undoubtedly the most qualified to enter.

Xing Ziang walked up the steps step by step with a cane, and walked into this splendid hall. There were two huge statues standing on both sides of the hall, one was dressed as a soldier of the Northern Army, and the other was dressed as a soldier of the Southern Army. Different, these statues are extremely detailed. The two soldiers are both powerful and powerful. It looks like their tendons are about to explode. The obviously different sculpture styles shocked Xing Ziang.

The official at the side said in a low voice: "This is made by several foreign master craftsmen. Now they have entered the general's mansion. Emperor Xiaoxian loves it very much, so they put it in front of the door to guard the loyalty." Xing Ziang sipped it , wanted to say something, but remembering that the cranky emperor was no longer there, he didn't open his mouth, shook his head helplessly, walked into the hall, and saw the statues on both sides.

Fortunately, the unconstrained emperor did not use foreign methods to sculpt these old friends of Xing Ziang. The traditional and simple sculptures stand on both sides. Although they are not so detailed, they just look like civil servants standing with their hands folded, but Xing Ziang looks much more pleasing to the eye. Under the sculpture, there was also a stone tablet. What made Xing Ziang somewhat puzzled was that the main hall seemed to be divided into two parts, with one hall for each.

Looking at the newly built palaces around, Xing Ziang understood what the emperor thought.

This hall is the Jianning Hall of Zhonglie Hall, while the other side is the Xiping Hall. The newly built one seems to be the Yankang Hall.

The sound of the cane hitting the jade was very resounding. With the slow but firm sound, Xing Ziang walked past these sculptures step by step. Looking at the courtiers around him, he couldn't help laughing, without any sadness , and didn't miss it, he seemed to see his old friend, he smiled, stopped, stretched out his hand, and stroked the sculpture in front of him, "Bo Jie, you are here too, okay, I'm still worried You will go to Xiping Palace!"

"It seems that I still can't bear to part with these old friends. That's great."

"I didn't get to see you for the last time. Don't blame me. Wait for a while and I'll accompany you. How about it?"

Xing Ziang stretched out his head, listened carefully, nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, let's do it this way." He continued to walk, and he had to stop every time he came to a sculpture, otherwise, he had to Only when you stand firmly can you reach out to touch.

"Zhou Yang, are you okay? My good fellow, your grandson has already led the Embroidered Clothes Emissary."

"Cui Gong? Are you here? Hahaha, great, do you have any new poems? Tell me about it?"

"My lord, the New Deal has started. Do you still remember the child from Cao Song's family? He is doing it now."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, there are no enemies that need to be beheaded!"

"Mr. Duan, the Southern Army's combat effectiveness has surpassed that of the Northern Army by a lot."

"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, don't be angry, the Northern Army is not weak."

"Mr. Yang, both Xinzhou and Hezhou are fine, don't ask any more questions."

"Wen Rengong understands, understands, bring some money next time."

"Master He." Xing Ziang stared at the sculpture at the forefront, and was stunned for a long time, but he was unable to speak. After standing for a long time, he respectfully bowed to He Xiu and walked to the center In front of the Jianning stele, he was a little tired, and sat down against the stele, out of breath. The stele was engraved with the achievements of Emperor Xiaokang's life, which were all created by the officials below.

"Shaojunhou Ningzhou Chidao, I have finished it. The ministers of Xizhou and Jiaozhou are still old. I don't know if they can finish it. Don't worry, Shaojunhou. If you live a day, you will be busy with this matter. .Even if you die, you must die on the road, never on the bed. If you promise the young prince, the minister will definitely complete it.",

The servant in the distance saw Xing Ziang sitting leaning on the stone tablet, talking to himself, as if someone was chatting with him, laughing from time to time, suddenly felt a little creepy, looking around, he bowed respectfully, "If Sorry for disturbing you, forgive me." While muttering, he saw Xing Ziang wave his hand at him and shouted, "Help me, I can't stand up!!"

The servant supported him, and Xing Ziang stood up.

"Patriarch, do you want to see His Majesty?"

"It's all here, my friends over at Xiping Hall, I have to visit too." After hearing his words, the servant took him to the Xiping Hall. The Hall of Ning is similar, but it looks a little empty, and there are not many statues of courtiers. This is not to say that there were not many famous officials in the Xiping period, but it seems that most of the famous officials in the Xiping period were buried in the Jianning Hall. their last words.

In Xiping Hall, Xing Ziang looked around and saw a row of sculptures, and he also greeted them one by one.

There is Mr. Huangfu.

There is Zheng Gong.

There is Lu Gong.

There is Dong Gong.

There is that kid Yuan Shu.

There is also Mr. Liu who is talkative.

When Xing Ziang walked out tremblingly, the gate of the palace was already full of guards. At the very front, a young man stood upright with a smile on his face. Xing Ziang stared at him for a long time, He didn't recognize him either, so Liu Xi stepped forward, bowed to Xing Ziang, and said: "Junior Liu Xi pays respects to Xing Yeye." Hearing this name, Xing Ziang just realized it.

"Don't dare to let Your Majesty do this!" He said, and he was about to bow to the emperor. Liu Xi didn't dare to accept his ceremony, so he quickly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Xing Yeye don't want to do this, are you Hearing his words, Xing Ziang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is more like Emperor Xiaokang than Emperor Xiaoxian." Hearing Xing Ziang's words , Liu Xi was also very happy.

Take Xing Ziang back to the palace.

The emperor took the same car with him.

It has been a long time since Xing Ziang received such treatment.

Entering the Houde Hall, the two sat facing each other. Xing Ziang looked at the somewhat empty Houde Hall, and couldn't help being shocked. Not only here, but the entire palace looked a little wrong. Inside the Houde Hall, there were All kinds of collectibles, including some calligraphy and paintings, were beautifully arranged, how could they become like this, empty, the big man would not have fallen to such a situation, Xing Ziang became more and more panicked.

"Here. This."

"Mr. Xing doesn't know. I just took the throne and didn't know about political affairs. I spent the money in the treasury on official education. There was nothing left. With these investments, official education went smoothly. In a short period of time, the printed Countless books were published, and the official school platform was established very quickly, and young children went to school one after another, but ah, I did not expect that in January, several counties in Hezhou suffered a severe cold disaster, and many livestock were frozen to death."

"I took out some of my private collections, and asked Liu Ba to sell some useless collections of calligraphy and paintings, and exchanged all of them for supplies needed by the victims, and asked Jimin Taiwan to send them to Hezhou. It's under control, and no civilians were killed," Liu Xi said with a smile.

"But, this...in the palace." Xing Ziang was still a little shocked.

"It's okay, Xing Yeye. I don't have time to play with these things here. They are useless. It's better to change them into clothes. They can save a lot of people, and ah." Liu Xi lowered his voice. The voice approached Xing Ziang, and said in a low voice: "I have donated in this way, how dare those ministers and the big family not donate? They donated more than me, and the disaster was alleviated within a month."

Hearing the emperor's words, Xing Ziang couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Liu Xi in front of him, Xing Ziang's eyes were very gentle and friendly, as if looking at a junior of his own, Xing Ziang also lowered his voice, and said: "I did a lot of things with Emperor Xiaokang back then."

"Hahaha!"

One old and one young, looked up and laughed.
