The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 183 Bowang Palace
"swallow?!"

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were slightly silent after hearing Li Shimin's words.

"In ancient times, the ancients called swallows xuanniao, and in the ancient books of the pre-Qin period, the first record of the divine bird was 'xuanniao'. Therefore, it is very possible that the swallows who followed Xin Ni back then were It’s the divine bird!”

Li Yuan's face finally showed excitement at this time, and his eyes were filled with joy.

If they guessed correctly, the divine bird was really beside Li Xinni, and it could also be seen as following their Li family in Longxi!
If this is the case, wouldn't there be divine birds to help with the great things they are doing?

But... the sacred bird is the sacred bird of the big man, and it protects the big man...

Thinking of this, Li Yuan frowned again.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin behind him were also lost in thought. At the same time, they couldn't help but want to go to Chang'an as soon as possible and see this legendary bird.

However, Li Yuan shook his head slightly, then looked at his two sons behind him and asked, "Go back and prepare. In three days, the army will set off for Chang'an City!"

"Yes!"

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng nodded quickly, and then the three of them slowly left.

……

Chang'an City.

The third sister brought the six women brought from Lishan to the office and assigned them specific duties.

In the former prime minister's house, some officials who had taken refuge with Third Sister immediately cast curious glances when they saw Third Sister entering with six women.

At the same time, there was a hint of thinking in his eyes.

Obviously, they also realized something and guessed the identities of the six women behind the third sister.

The third sister naturally noticed their gazes, but she didn't say much. She just said to the women behind her: "You guys wait here for a while. Chen Ying and the others will be here soon, and they will arrange a place for you then." !”

"As for what happens next, let's wait until the arrangements are settled."

"Yes!"

The six girls responded in unison.

As their voices came out, more people's eyes gathered here.

Among the six women, only one had a very beautiful face, while the other five women had ordinary faces.

But the same thing, they all hold wooden swords in their hands, wear coarse linen clothes, and have a strong style, which makes them look like women.

This also attracted the attention of the surrounding officials.

"Did the general find so many women to take charge of the government?"

"indeed so!"

"Although the general has admiration for the former Han officials in Chang'an City, they may not necessarily be willing to serve the general!"

"But most of those who are willing to serve the general just act according to the prevailing circumstances, and they are mediocre if they have no talent!"

"As for us, although we are willing to be loyal to the general and have talents, we are just like the average person!"

Outside, a middle-aged man wearing ordinary clothes said so.

After hearing this, the people around him were also silent for a while.

"Of the two women before, one is leading soldiers in the army, and now she is quite prestigious in the army; the other is a clerk in the government, many things are entrusted to her, and the general trusts her very much!"

"And now, six more women have arrived, but I don't know..."

When one person said this, his tone was full of worry.

"Don't worry, as a general, you will definitely not abandon me or ignore me. Moreover, how many people are needed to manage the huge Chang'an City?"

"With the ambition of a general, he will definitely march towards the surrounding areas of Chang'an City and capture the city..."

…………

When Chen Ying and Chen Ying returned, one was wearing armor and had a dashing appearance, and the other was dressed like a Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi, obviously dealing with paperwork.

When they saw the six women who suddenly appeared, they immediately beamed with happy smiles on their faces. Then they took the hands of several women and asked them about the situation on Lishan Mountain after they left.

And the six women naturally responded one by one.

Seeing the chattering of the eight women, the third sister on the side also had a smile on her face. She couldn't bear to interrupt, but she still said: "This is not the place to talk, why not go to the residence to talk in detail!"

The eight women naturally nodded happily and left together.

When the voices of the women in his ears disappeared, the officials who were handling official business in the front yard suddenly looked disappointed.

A young literary official couldn't help but sigh: "They are really women who are not inferior to men, and they are even more beautiful with red sleeves. It would be a great blessing to marry one of them as my wife!"

"Be careful!"

The companions on the side heard the young clerk's words and quickly warned him.

……

While several women were reminiscing about old times, the third sister also came out. Now that she has taken over Chang'an City, she has a lot to do every day, and there are many things that she needs to deal with personally.

For example, now, she is going to visit some talented and virtuous people in the city and ask them to work for her.

In the past, these people were persecuted or excluded by treacherous ministers in the Han court.

Life is not going as you wish, or you may have nothing to do at home.

Therefore, Sanniang plans to win these people to work for her.

The horse-drawn carriage rolled on Chang'an Street, which was paved with huge bluestones. Because Chang'an City was occupied by the Detachment of Women, Chang'an City became extremely desolate.

However, because the Detachment of Women managed the army well and did not enter the city to plunder, it still maintained some of its former prosperity.

However, a large number of dignitaries and dignitaries in the city escaped and were caught. Only some innocent or virtuous families remained in Chang'an City.

At this time, the third sister went to the Zhang Mansion where all the emperors of the Han Dynasty once worshiped as prime minister.

That was the former Bowang Palace.

His ancestor was Zhang Qian, Duke of Bowang during the reign of Emperor Wu, and Duke Bowang Zhang Qian had a good family tradition. Every subsequent head of the Zhang family was a talented and loyal person, deeply trusted by every Han emperor.

However, in recent decades, during the reign of the last two emperors of the Han Dynasty, no talented person from the Zhang family became an official, so the prime minister was not a member of the Zhang family.

However, the Zhang family was independent, did not form any party for personal gain, and did not cultivate party members in the court. Therefore, the Zhang family did not have much influence in the court before.

"That's why this huge man collapsed like this..."

At this time, Sanniang was standing on the street, and in front of her was the majestic Bowang Palace.

But the majestic palace door was closed tightly at this time, with only Menzi sitting on the left and right, looking quite lazy.

When they saw a woman stepping down from the carriage, the two men just glanced at her and thought she was an ordinary woman.

As for scolding him, it is naturally impossible.

Everyone in Bowang Palace is benevolent and can treat ordinary people with courtesy. This is the tradition of the Zhang family.

However, when the two gatekeepers saw the woman getting off the carriage walking towards them, they immediately became serious, and then stepped forward and asked:
"Excuse me, your Majesty, what is your intention..."

"The Detachment of Women, Third Sister Li, are here to visit. Please pass on the message!"

The third sister said politely.

When the two disciples heard this, they were immediately shocked and turned pale.

"Women's Army!?"

However, he replied politely and said: "Please wait a moment, I will come in and inform the head of the family!" "Thank you!"

The third sister nodded and then waited quietly.

At the same time, my eyes can't help but look at the majestic gate tower of Bowang Gong Mansion. I can see the strong traces of time in the lacquered brackets.

This Bowang Palace has existed for nearly 700 years, and the Zhang family has left countless legends in the Han Dynasty, which are talked about by future generations and have become role models for countless people. !

However, the fat third sister did not wait too long. After a while, she heard footsteps coming from the mansion. Immediately, the door of Bowang Gong's mansion opened, and then a group of people dressed in gorgeous Hanfu walked out.

The leader is a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, and behind him are middle-aged people, young-faced men, etc.

At this time, everyone looked at the third sister outside with a smile on their faces.

"I never thought that the general of the Detachment of Women would come to visit, so I apologize for not being able to welcome him from afar!"

"No, it's the third sister who paid a rash visit and disturbed the peace of your house. It's the third sister who should apologize!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

……

It was different from what the third sister had imagined when she came. She didn't expect that the people in Bowang Palace would treat her so politely. She thought they would turn her away like some of the people she had visited before.

After everyone sat down in the luxurious and elegant hall and served tea, the head of the Zhang family asked:
"I wonder why the general came here this time..."

Hearing this, the third sister smiled and said, "I think your house must have heard about it. I've been running into obstacles everywhere in Chang'an City these past few days!"

"Ha ha……"

The head of the Zhang family and other members of the Zhang family all smiled slightly and did not say much.

Seeing this, the third sister continued: "The Zhang family is a century-old family. Looking back on the past, Duke Zhang Qian of Bowang was ordered by Emperor Wu to travel across mountains and rivers to the Western Regions. He also cultivated high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and fed countless people!"

"But in the end, Duke Bowang still couldn't let go of the people of the world. Whenever Third Sister and I study, I can't help but admire and respect him."

"It's just the glory of our ancestors. How can our descendants dwell on it? Our descendants all aim at our ancestors, but we have never reached the level of our ancestors."

Having said this, the head of the Zhang family looked regretful, and it was obvious that he meant what he said.

"However, now all the descendants of the Zhang family are mediocre, and there is no one who can make suggestions for the family and the country, which makes the big man..."

At this point, the head of the Zhang family suddenly stopped talking.

The third sister shook her head but didn't care, and continued: "The Zhang family's family tradition is admirable. However, the Han Dynasty has been a dynasty for 800 years..."

"800 years..."

After the third sister said this, the Zhang family members seemed to have reacted and sighed.

But the third sister continued: "In the pre-Qin period, the Zhou dynasty only lasted 800 years. This includes the many years of war between the Qin kingdoms. The Zhou emperor lost his power, and the Han Dynasty was already a god if he could have the current state of Zuo. Bird blessing!”

"Blessed by the divine bird!"

After hearing this, the Zhang family also remembered that the big man was indeed protected by the divine bird. However, now that the big man was dead, the divine bird had not appeared. It seemed that the divine bird had betrayed its promise.

And they also know that it is not that the divine bird has betrayed its previous promise. On the contrary, the divine bird has done its duty with all its heart. A hundred years ago, it appeared many times to save the man and save the world!
What the divine bird wanted to do has been done!

The people of the Zhang family have naturally seen that the current Han Dynasty has become corrupt, but some forces and interests are so deep-rooted that even if a member of the Zhang family becomes prime minister again, they cannot carry out reforms.

seem……

The head of the Zhang family looked at the third sister on the side, and at the same time, he already guessed the purpose of the third sister's visit.

However, he still had concerns.

"To be honest, the third sister came here this time to ask the Zhang family for help. The Han Dynasty is corrupt and has been destroyed. Why don't the Zhang family help my women's army and establish a new dynasty?"

The third sister stopped being secretive and went straight to the point, saying so.

Even though the Zhang family members present had guessed the third sister's purpose, they were still a little surprised to hear the third sister's words at this moment.

"Establish a new dynasty..."

The head of the Zhang family was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at the third sister solemnly and asked: "I guess the general is not the only one after the Detachment of Women, right?"

"Your Excellency's lesson!"

The third sister smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the head of the Zhang family suddenly asked again: "I heard that the general brought down a few more women from Lishan today. I wonder if these women are..."

Hearing this, Sanniang couldn't help but be startled, and then said: "Your Excellency is quite well informed!"

"You must have heard the rumors in the city."

"General, did you mean 'Female Palace'?"

"This female palace was created by my sister. She just adopted poor girls from the past and took them to the mountains to educate them."

"General Shenwei, he was able to climb Mount Li!"

The Zhang family leader's seemingly unintentional words were actually innuendo. He looked at the third sister and observed the changes in the third sister.

However, the third sister smiled slightly and said unabashedly: "Yes, my sister has the help of a divine bird!"

"what!?"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone in the hall looked at the third sister in disbelief, trying to tell from the third sister's face whether what she just said was true.

But the third sister's serious expression had already answered them.

This time, they all sat there in shock, a little lost.

Unexpectedly, the divine bird actually helped the Detachment of Women!
So, does the divine bird also want the Han Dynasty to be destroyed?

Otherwise, the divine bird had appeared two years ago. Why didn't it help the big man, but instead watched the big man's destruction?

So, it all makes sense!

No wonder the Detachment of Women was able to capture Chang'an City so easily. This is the reason!
After thinking about this, everyone present already understood it.

After a moment, the head of the Zhang family looked at the third sister on the side, and then said: "Since the Detachment of Women has the help of divine birds, why does it need us?"

"No!"

The third sister shook her head, "How can we let the sacred bird's case come to nothing? Besides, I have heard that the ancestor of the Zhang family, Bowang Gong, had a connection with the sacred bird. That's why I came to ask people from your house for help!"

After hearing this, the head of the Zhang family no longer had any hesitation in his heart.

Finally, the head of the Zhang family asked again: "There must be someone else behind the Detachment of Women, right?"

"Yes, I am a member of the Li family in Longxi, my father Li Yuan!"

It turned out to be Li Yuan!
……

Time flies, and the world is in chaos.

The governors who had soldiers and horses in each county rebelled, or they were people from aristocratic families who led the troops to fight for the land of a county.

There are even those who first call them emperor, and secondly, there are many people who call them emperor instead!

At the same time, Li Yuan led his troops towards Chang'an. At the same time, he announced to the world that he would establish himself as emperor and tentatively named the country Tang!
