Soldiers come to the world

On the surface, Liu Jing, king of the Han Dynasty, moved into Weiyang Palace. On the surface, it was due to a casual sentence from his wife Tao Zhan, but in fact, this was actually the inevitable result of a general trend. Dazheng, the Han Dynasty has become a vast country with the sea in the east and the desert in the west of Hexi. It not only occupies more than half of the Han Dynasty, but also completes the encirclement of Cao Wei.

Under such circumstances, calls for Liu Jing to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor gradually arose in the Han Dynasty. In fact, no matter whether it was the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, the general people of Liming, and even the gentry of the Central Plains, they no longer recognized the status of Yedu. Instead of being the puppet emperor, he put the orthodox hat of a big man on Liu Jing's head.

At this time, Liu Jing's ascension to the throne is already expected by everyone, but Liu Jing knows that this is not the time to consider ascension to the throne, and the conditions are not yet mature, but if he just refuses in a low-key manner, it will only hurt the hearts of his supporters. , The narrowness and insufficiency of the King of Han's system have affected his governance of the Han Dynasty.

So starting this year, Liu Jing has gradually abandoned the so-called overreaching moral constraints, changed Pingzhangtai into Zhengshitang, and set up Zhongshusheng, Menxiasheng and Shangshusheng. Weiyang Palace is also expected by everyone. Even if he does not proclaim himself emperor for the time being, he can still give supporters a psychological balance.

On the second day after Liu Jing accepted Da Qiao, the Political Affairs Hall made a decision to open the Weiyang Harem, and the King of Han officially moved into the Weiyang Palace. The goal took the first step.

But the Weiyang Palace at this time is no longer the Weiyang Palace 300 years ago. The former Weiyang Palace has been completely destroyed in previous wars, and the current Weiyang Palace is the material that Jia Xu used from the remaining palaces in various places. It was built on the basis of the old Weiyang Palace, and then gradually repaired and perfected. Although it has been built for many years, the scale is still less than half of the previous Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is divided into three parts: the front hall, the middle hall, and the back palace. The front hall occupies the largest area and is the central government office of the Han Dynasty. Most of the government offices are concentrated here, and the middle hall is composed of Qinzheng Hall, Chengming Hall, and Qilin Hall Composed of three main halls and the Wuming Square in front of the main hall, it was the place where major court meetings and ceremonies were held in the Han Dynasty, but it was rarely used.

So far, Weiyang Palace has only used two parts, the front hall and the middle hall. As for the harem, it has never been used. The harem consists of Guangming Terrace, Jiaofang Pavilion, Qingliang Hall, Yutang Hall, Dongming Tower and Phoenix Tower. The building complex consists of thousands of various towers and pavilions. Six groups of buildings surround the Yaochi covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres. There is also Kunlun Terrace in the middle of the Yaochi, which must be reached by boat.

Although the harem does not occupy a large area compared with the front hall and the central hall, it occupies more than five times the area of ​​the Han Palace. Living in Weiyang Palace, Liu Jing is still the Han King in name, but in fact his pomp and The status is no different from that of an emperor.

The process of Liu Jing's family staying in Weiyang Palace was very low-key. Every night, a large number of boxes and cages were carried by horse-drawn carriages, and they moved to Weiyang Palace silently. Into the harem.

Although Weiyang Palace is not in use, it is still inhabited by people. There are more than 30 servants and more than [-] maids living in the palace. The servants are also eunuchs. Most of the servants and maids come from all over the Central Plains. The eunuch is the chief of the palace, his name is Zhao Wei, and he has lived in Weiyang Palace for [-] years.

At this time, more than 100 eunuchs and court ladies had already lined up inside the Xuanwu Gate. The carriage stopped slowly, and a maid helped Princess Tao Zhan out of the carriage slowly. Slave Zhao Wei sees the princess!"

Tao Zhan said with a smile: "You are Director Zhao. I heard the King of Han said that I will trouble you more in the future."

"The old slave dare not! The old slave will serve the princess wholeheartedly."

He spoke one by one to the old slave, which made Tao Zhan very uncomfortable. At this time, Tao Zhan saw the court ladies and servants lined up in the distance, and couldn't help asking a little strangely: "Who are they?"

"Reporting to the princess, they are the maids and servants of Weiyang Palace."

Tao Zhan was taken aback, "So many people?"

Zhao Wei looked back at these maids and servants, and said with a wry smile: "This is very few. There were tens of thousands of maids and servants around Lingdi back then, and now there are only a hundred or so."

Tao Zhan didn't say anything more, she knew that she had to slowly adapt to life in Weiyang Palace. According to Liu Jing's instructions, the servants of Han Palace only brought their personal maids and wet nurses into the palace, and the rest of the family members have all been dismissed. , In addition, more than [-] female guards also followed them into the palace.

Tao Zhan nodded and ordered: "It's already night, let them all go back! I'll get to know each other slowly in the future, and where is the Phoenix Tower? We will temporarily live in the Phoenix Tower tonight."

"Wangfei please wait a moment, the old slave will lead the way."

Zhao Wei stepped forward to dismiss the maids and servants, and then invited the concubine to get in the carriage. He rode on horseback and led a group of carriages towards Fenghuang. Only then did everyone know that Weiyang Palace was so big that they wanted to drive around the palace in a carriage. The side of the carriage explained: "Phoenix Tower is in the southwest corner, about two miles away from Xuanwu Gate. It's too far to walk. The original harem is bigger, but people usually don't take carriages, but ride chariots. They are actually rickshaws. But now there are not enough people. You can travel by horse-drawn carriage for a while."

Everyone was silent, looking at the countless pavilions and pavilions under the moonlight, and the hall that could accommodate thousands of people. I can't help but admire the scale and momentum of Weiyang Palace.

"Princess, we're here!"

The carriage stopped, and everyone got out of the carriage, and saw not far away was the vast lake, sparkling in the moonlight, and a huge pavilion with a height of more than ten feet appeared in front of them, with flying eaves and brackets, magnificent, below Numerous small buildings were built, surrounded by a yellow wall.

Everyone was a little stunned. They thought the Phoenix Tower was a small building, but they didn't expect it to be such a huge building with so many buildings. At this time, if Tao Zhan realized something, the tall building they could faintly see in the city was not Is it here?

Tao Zhan didn't know that the Phoenix Tower was originally called the Phoenix Terrace, and it was the living place of the empress, so it was naturally unusual. At this moment, Liu Zhu suddenly yelled, "Daddy!"

Seeing her running towards the distance like a bird, everyone realized that their husband, Liu Jing, was already waiting for them in front of the gate. Liu Jing held her daughter's hand and walked over slowly, Zhao Wei hurried up Before saluting, Liu Jing waved his hands and said, "You step back first, as long as I'm here."

"Old slave quit!"

Zhao Wei withdrew, and without this talkative old eunuch, everyone immediately relaxed. Tao Zhan stepped forward and complained to her husband: "If I had known that Weiyang Palace was like this, I wouldn't have moved here!"

Liu Jing smiled at her, and then said to everyone: "Everyone come in!"

The whole family followed Liu Jing into the Phoenix Tower. The Phoenix Tower had been tidied up and the building was brightly lit. The lobby on the first floor looked extremely spacious. Twelve thick pillars stood on both sides of the lobby, and curtains several feet high hung down from the roof. In the center of the lobby, all the boxes and cages that have been moved are temporarily placed here, piled up like a hill.

"Everyone will rest here temporarily tonight, and we will make good arrangements tomorrow."

Without Liu Jing's instructions, everyone got busy, and Tao Zhan also accepted the reality. She busily arranged for everyone's temporary accommodation. The Phoenix Building has more than ten floors, and there are many houses in the building. They only used the lower five floors. Everyone has their own temporary room.

The night was getting deeper, and everyone had fallen asleep. Da Qiao stood on the balcony of the room. She leaned on the railing and stared at the sparkling water below. The slightly chilly night wind blew her long and flowing hair , At this time, Liu Jing appeared behind her, and gently hugged her waist from behind, "Isn't it cold here?" Liu Jing asked with concern.

Da Qiao leaned on his shoulder, feeling his strong arm, which filled her heart with warm touch. She raised her head, stared at Ai Lang with bright beautiful eyes, and said softly, "You should go to Eldest Sister."

Liu Jing lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "There are so many wives and concubines, I have to care about them, and I can't lose sight of others, but you are my bride, so I have to care about you more."

Da Qiao smiled sweetly, "You are such a strange man. You have a high status, but sometimes you are like a little man who lives in the house. If you have 72 concubines in the Sixth Court of Sangong in the future, will you care about them one by one?"

"will not!"

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "I mean, it's impossible for me to have so many women. With just a few of you, I'm content."

At this time, a maid's report came from outside the door: "Your Highness, there is news from the front that Sima Xiangguo is asking to see him outside the palace."

Liu Jing was taken aback, Sima Yi came to see him at such a late hour, there must be something urgent, he replied: "I see!"

He immediately entered the room with his arm around Da Qiao's waist, and Da Qiao's personal maid immediately closed the balcony door. Liu Jing smiled at Da Qiao, "Go to bed early! I'll come see you tomorrow."

Da Qiao stretched out her white lotus-like arms to wrap around Liu Jing's neck, kissed him affectionately on the lips, and said with a smile, "Hurry up!"

Liu Jing turned and left the room, and walked downstairs quickly. Da Qiao stood at the door and watched him go away. When she turned around, she saw Cao Xian standing aside with the quilt in her arms, looking at herself with a blushing face. He smiled and said, "What's the matter, little sister?"

Cao Xian was a little embarrassed and said: "Sister Lian, can I sleep with you tonight, the windows in my room are not good, they creak, I'm a little scared."

Da Qiao laughed and pulled Cao Xian into the room, "Come in quickly! It's cold outside."

Liu Jing left the harem in a carriage and went all the way to his official room, only to see Sima Yi was already waiting for him in front of the official room.

Sima Yi served as Minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War was in charge of military affairs such as the recruitment of the Han army, the training of new soldiers, the promotion of ordinary soldiers, the compensation for soldiers who died in battle, the establishment of military cities, etc. He is the prime minister, and mainly participates in the decision-making of military and state affairs in the political affairs hall.

However, Sima Yi has another important position, which is to be in charge of the intelligence system of the Han army, but this is directly managed by Sima Yi. The intelligence system was originally in charge of Jia Xu, but later transferred to Sima Yi.

Since Jiangdong has been captured by the Han army, Jiangdong's intelligence point has also been disbanded. Now the main targets of the Han army's intelligence are Cao Wei and Jiaozhou.

Seeing Liu Jing get off the carriage, Sima Yi quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, there is urgent information from Cao Wei!"

Liu Jing nodded, "Go into the room and talk."
