Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 113 The Drunk Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake
Autumn is beginning to appear, the weather is cool, the fields are slightly yellow, but the mountains in the distance are still lush.Today, the autumn wind is blowing slowly, the sky is clear and crisp, and white clouds are floating in the blue sky.

At the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain, ten miles outside Xiangyang City, there is a famous villa.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiangyang Hou Xiyu imitated Fan Li's method of raising fish, and built an earth embankment with a length of [-] steps and a width of [-] steps at the foot of Baima Mountain, and drew water from Baima Spring to build a pond to raise fish.This pool is called Xijia Pool.There is a two-storey hexagonal pavilion with double eaves on the round platform in the middle of Xijiachi, commonly known as "huxin pavilion".It is surrounded by carved stone railings, and you can enjoy the water hibiscus and swim fish leisurely by leaning on the railings.

The Xijia Pond built by Xi Yu deliberately exaggerates the relationship between Yuchi and Fan Li, implicitly revealing his ambition to float in the rivers and lakes.The Xijiachi Garden, which is mainly composed of mansions and large and small fish ponds, is backed by green hills and faces clear water. It has created a gardening style that uses natural landscapes and houses with flowers and trees to build gardens. It has all the landscapes, pools, springs, and pavilions in later gardens Buildings, lush forests and bamboo scenery, and cultural connotations such as poetry, rites, history, wine, folk customs, leisure, and fishing.

Xijiachi is surrounded by mountains, pines and cypresses, trickling water, shaded by pavilions, fragrant flowers and singing birds, and the scenery is quiet.However, at this moment, the tranquility of Xijiachi was disturbed by a burst of noise.

Only about 312 riders appeared on the mountain road north of Xijiachi.The leader is none other than Wei Huanwen, the famous Grand Sima of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and his son-in-law.Huan Wen was born in the sixth year of Yongjia (57 AD), and he was 57 years old at this time.However, the 345-year-old Huan Wen did not show a trace of old age, but looked energetic and heroic.On the right side of Huan Wen, the man dressed as a scribe with half of his shoulder shrunk, although he is a scholar in his late thirties, he is also familiar with horse riding in the army.This person is none other than Xi Chao, who joined the army in the Da Sima Mansion.When Xi Chao was young, he was outstanding, dissolute and uninhibited, with outstanding talents, and had a wide range of friends among scholars.He is good at talking, and his insights are subtle.In the first year of Yonghe (348), Sima Yu, King of Kuaiji, was awarded the title of General of the Fujun Army, and Xi Chao was enlisted as a Fujun.In the fourth year of Yonghe ([-]), Huan Wen was promoted to General of the West because of his achievements in Pingshu.Xi Chao entered the Huanwen shogunate and served as the rafter of Zhengxi Mansion, and later changed his post as Da Sima to join the army.

Xi Chao walked side by side with Huan Wen, turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "Huan has always thought that the riding and archery skills in the school were just a figment of his work, and just now the guest (Xi Chao's name) moved Er Shi's bow. , within a hundred steps, there is nothing wrong with the arrow, that is really both civil and military."

Xi Chao was a little absent-minded at this time, but his eyes casually glanced at Li Jingshu. Li Jingshu was riding on a bay red horse, wearing a dark green hunting suit, a dark green chiffon cape, white bow shoes and white tie. A belt, and a small machete that looks like an ornament is worn under the ribs.With a bow slung across her shoulders and an arrow pot on her back, that sassy outfit with the charm of a foreign race outside the Great Wall made her a smart woman.The autumn wind blew the dark green cloak, and the riding outfit set off her exquisite and beautiful body curves just right, neither increasing nor decreasing, the youthful body curves were looming and charming in the cloak.

If you want to ask who Li Jingshu is, in fact Li Jingshu is not Han, but the sister of Li Shi, the last emperor of Cheng Han Dynasty.In the third year of Yonghe period, Huan Wen led troops to break through CD and Li Shi surrendered, and Huan Wen sent Li Shi to Jiankang.Surprised to see that Li Shi's younger sister, Li Jingshu, who was 14 years old at the time, had an alluring appearance, she took her as a concubine.Now Li Jingshu is 26 years old, mature and charming.

Seeing Xi Chao secretly peeping at Li Jingshu, Huan Wen was not only not annoyed, but rather complacent.Li Jingshu is so beautiful.Huan Wen's wife, Princess Nankang, the daughter of Emperor Jinming, was fierce and jealous, and she didn't know about it at the time.When he found out later, he took a knife to Li Nv's residence and tried to kill her.When she saw Li Nu combing her hair in front of the window, she looked dignified and beautiful, tied her hair quietly, then folded her hands, facing the princess, her expression was dignified and dignified, and her speech was very sad and tactful.The princess put down the knife and hugged her and said, "You, I feel cute when I see you, not to mention that old guy (referring to Huan Wen)!" So she was very kind to her.

Concubines, in ancient times, concubines were just a plaything for men, and they were used to sending them to and from each other.Su Shi once gave away his concubine Ji, and it is said that two concubines were pregnant. Later, the treacherous minister Liang Shicheng and the Hanlin scholar Sun Zhi claimed to be the posthumous children of the concubine Su Shi gave away. Su Dongpo's real son Su Guo , and did not deny this situation, but became intimate with Liang and Sun.It is said that Liang Shicheng took into account the brotherhood, and even said to the accountant at home: "If the money used by Xiao Su is less than [-] guan, don't sue me, just pay it."

Even more bleak is a concubine named Mistress.Su Shi's friend Jiang Mou saw Chunniang by chance and was very admired, so he said to Su Shi: "I have a white horse, and I am willing to exchange a beautiful concubine with a bachelor." , immediately nodded in agreement.But after Chunniang heard the news, this concubine Ji, who is both talented and beautiful, refused, and accused Su Xueshi, saying: Back then, Yan Ying knew that he could not sin because of a horse, but you, a dignified scholar, who is called pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but you want to use it People change horses!Enraged, Chunniang hit the locust tree and died on the spot.

Like an item, in the eyes of some people, it is even worse than a horse. This is the fate of a concubine!
Of course, Huan Wen dotes on Li Jingshu very much.Not only would he not give it away, but he would not even promise to serve him in bed.Xi Chao once asked Huan Wen for Li Jingshu.Huan Wen flatly refused.

Xi Chaodao said: "The King of Chu Jueying met, so Tang Gui gave up his life to repay him; Yang Su did not do anything wrong for himself, and made Li Jinghong Fu. Since Ming Gong has the world in his heart, why can't he be reluctant to part with a woman?"

"My son is my life, how can I give it up lightly?" Huan Wen said.

When Xi Chao heard this, instead of staying away from Huan Wen, he became more loyal to Huan Wen.He thinks that Huan Wen's emphasis on affection and handouts is not as harsh and ungrateful as Liu Bei's.

Huan Wen rode his horse to the door and laughed loudly: "Yanwei (Xi Chisel Teeth's dialect), Yanwei, the evil guest came to the door, and he didn't come out to greet him!"

Xi Chiuchi has little ambition, and is well-read and well-known for his ability to write.At the beginning, he was the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the governor of Jingzhou Huan Wen's Biejia, ranking first among the counselors.During Huanwen's Northern Expedition, he also participated in the secrecy with his followers.

After a while, Xi chiseled his teeth and opened the middle door.Welcome Huan Wen to enter the door.

Xi chiseled his teeth and said with a smile: "I caught a koi carp this morning. Since Duke Ming has arrived, I will share the fish with you!"

Fish meat, now known as sashimi, also known as yu sheng, was called yu or 鲙鲙 in ancient times. It is a general term for fresh fish and shellfish cut into slices and eaten with seasonings.It originated in China and later spread to Japan, the Korean Peninsula and other places.In the pre-Qin period, the original meaning of kuai refers to finely chopped raw meat, "Hanshu."Biography of Dongfang Shuo": "Raw meat is used for meat." "Book of Rites."Internal Regulations": "The fishy meat is fine." Some meat loses its original flavor after cooking and is not fresh enough. Fresh fish is one of them.

Huan Wen got off his horse, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Very good. Very good!"

Everyone followed Xi chisel their teeth into the pavilion, the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the singer sang softly, and the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious.Huan Wen is in the center, Xi Chao is at the first from the left, Xi Zouchi is at the second, and Li Jingshu is at the third.Everyone was drinking and drinking, and it was so lively that it was no different from the Taiping Festival.
