Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the winter of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), the Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty moved to Luoyang, which made the people of Luoyang who had not seen the emperor for a long time very excited.  Many people even moved to Luoyang because of this.

    Originally, Zhen Yao wanted to return to Wuji after returning from the expedition, but he could not leave the emperor in Luoyang. After all, if he left, it would be unknown what would happen here.  Therefore, at the end of this year, Zhen Yao could only stay in Luoyang and asked Wuji to seize the time to build a new palace city.

    It¡¯s not that Zhen Yao has never thought about settling in Luoyang, but Wuji has many things that he cannot give up, and it is difficult to move as a whole.  Furthermore, although Luoyang is not a wasteland now, it is far behind Wuji. Zhen Yao has no reason to give up his old nest in Wuji for Luoyang.

    During the period of returning to Luoyang, Zhen Yao also gained a lot. First of all, Jia Xu, the old fox, finally surrendered to his own account, and with some simple operations, he took up the position of Tingwei, one of the Nine Qings.

    As for Dong Bai, the widow of the Dong family, Zhen Yao also ordered her release and found a house for her, so she was kept in captivity.  She was not ordered to be executed, and Dong Bai did not want to commit suicide too much. According to her thinking, she would not die. At least there would be people visiting the graves of her grandfather, father and others every Qingming Festival and Winter Solstice.

    And Shi A, who sneaked into the house in the middle of the night to rescue people, Zhen Yao magnanimously released him from prison.  Shi A was originally ready to leave, but under Jia Xu's persuasion, he stayed with Zhen Yao.  With a top ranger like him guarding him, not to mention ordinary assassins, even a few tiger generals might not be able to hurt Zhen Yao.

    Being able to use someone who had assassinated him as a bodyguard, Zhen Yao was a little frightened when he made the decision, but by some coincidence, he agreed, and Zhen Yao couldn't immediately regret it.  Since he took office, Shi A rarely left Zhen Yao within five steps. Such a dedicated attitude also made it impossible for him to find fault, so Zhen Yao no longer considered replacing him.

    Shi A's master Wang Yue was once the emperor's master, but now the emperor's apprentice is working as a guard by his side. This is quite a face-saving thing for Zhen Yao. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he can accept Shi A's guard.  , even if Zhen Yao himself never admits it.

    At the end of this year, Zhen Yao spent time in the General's Mansion in Luoyang, together with all the civil and military men under his command.  Zhen Yao has been accustomed to celebrating the New Year at home for many years, but on this night, she could not hear the playfulness of the younger generations in the family or the jokes among the beauties, but Zhen Yao felt a little uncomfortable.  Fortunately, Zhang Fei, Gao Lan and others toasted frequently, and Zhen Yao, who was so drunk, had no time to think about it.

    To bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, when the Han Dynasty entered the first month of the sixth year of Jian'an (AD 201), Zhen Yao, in the name of the Emperor, ordered all princes to send envoys to the court.  This move is to improve the prestige of the emperor Liu Xie to a certain extent. After all, after holding the emperor in his hands, in order to make this card easy to use, he must first make more preparations for him.

    Secondly, there is also the intention to put pressure on various princes to capture Chang'an. The Dong thief forces have withdrawn from the historical stage of the Han Dynasty. Zhen Yao is unable to conquer at this time, so he can only use this apparent diplomatic behavior to increase his bargaining chips.

    The emperor's message passed down that even Cao Cao, who had just been defeated by Zhen Yao and almost lost his life, had to send envoys to Luoyang.  And because Cao Cao's territory was closest to Luoyang, the Jiaozhou Shibian in the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty had just received the emperor's message from Zhen Yao, and Cao Cao's envoy from Changyi had already moved into the city.

    Naturally, it was impossible to come empty-handed when he came to see the emperor. The money and food provided by the princes brought Zhen Yao a good income.  Chen Qun under Cao Cao's account, Bu Zhao who had just been promoted under Sun Jian's account, Yi Ji under Liu Biao's account, Ma Dai's nephew under Ma Teng's account, Yang Song, the counselor under Zhang Lu's account, and Zhang Song under Liu Zhang's account.  They all arrived in Luoyang in time.

    With such envoys, Zhen Yao naturally had to receive them one by one. Among all the people, Chen Qun obviously did not give Zhen Yao any good looks.  Bu Zhi had just started his official career, but he was not nervous at all when facing Zhen Yao. Even in an away game, he still spoke in a controlled manner.

    Bu Zhi¡¯s performance made Zhen Yao sigh that there were many talents in Jiangdong, and Yin Ji, who had followed Liu Bei everywhere in history, did not disappoint Zhen Yao.  Although Liu Bian was old now and even Shoucheng was reluctant, Yin Ji used his vehement arguments in front of Zhen Yao to make Zhen Yao have to put aside his contempt.

    Except for these three people, Ma Dai's routine is purely routine.  Because he had no contact with the Ma family at all before, and Ma Dai himself did not have much say in the Ma family, Zhen Yao did not pay attention to him.  If it were his brother, Zhen Yao might be interested in the legendary Jin Ma Chao.

    ¡°These four people, no matter how you say it, are all very loyal to their lord, and they are either counselors or generals.  Except for them, when Zhen Yao met Yang Song, who was wide and fat, he could see the middle-aged man's true nature from his eyes before even talking.

    And when Zhen Yao generously gave away a hundred ingots of gold, Yang Song was almost about to start asking his sellercareer.  However, Zhen Yao didn't want to attract Hanzhong's attention at the moment, so he just spent more than a hundred gold in social expenses. How could he be able to make good friends with Yang Song, a close minister of Zhang Lu, it would definitely have miraculous results in the future.

    After bidding farewell to Yang Song, the person who appeared in front of Zhen Yao was Zhang Song, one of the famous ugly ghosts in the late Han Dynasty.  When he met Zhang Song for the first time, Zhen Yao had only one thought, that is, how could a person be so ugly.

    The dwarf is definitely no more than 1.3 meters tall. He has a deformed head on his neck. His eyes are sunken, his nose is round and flat, and the two beards under his nose are also grey-yellow. Even when he opens his mouth to speak, Zhen  Yao could see his mouth full of yellow teeth.

    With such an image, Zhen Yao, who was used to seeing the tall, tall, handsome and fair-faced people under his own tent, couldn't help but be a little shocked.  This is not because Zhen Yao judges people by their appearance, but because Zhang Song's appearance is too chilling.

    In the late Han Dynasty, whether you were a scholar or a general, if you wanted to have a good family background, you must have a good face.  But this guy was short and tough. Zhen Yao somewhat understood why he was not valued by Liu Zhang and Cao Cao in history.

    Like most deformed children, their hearts are fragile. A small thing may touch them, and an inconspicuous move can also make them suffer.

    When the two met for the first time, Zhen Yao's expression was naturally not good, so the self-esteem of this Yizhou traveler was hurt.  With his injured pride and arrogant temperament, he desperately wanted to prove himself, so just like in history or novels, he chose to endorse shorthand.

    Zhang Song¡¯s shorthand skills really opened Zhen Yao¡¯s eyes. He only read a scroll twice and memorized it all. This requires strong basic reading skills.  In other words, if Zhang Song can develop such a skill, apart from his talent, the time he spends reading books every day can definitely be longer than Zhen Yao's daily office hours.

    In order to apologize to Zhang Song, Zhen Yao also specially took out half a day to talk with him. Among the six envoys, this was the only one.  The scope of the conversation between the two was very wide, ranging from being a human being to studying, and from studying to becoming an official. However, they talked more about the current situation in Yizhou.

    The lord Liu Zhang only cares about having fun, but Zhang Lu, who has a grudge against his lord, has the idea of ????invading the middle of Shu after getting the support of Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew.  Zhang Song came to Luoyang this time, firstly to pay tribute to the emperor, and secondly to form an alliance with Zhen Yao with Liu Zhang's order.

    Liu Zhang thought that as long as he formed an alliance with Zhen Yao, Zhang Lu would not dare to move, and he could continue to stay in Chengdu with peace of mind.  Zhang Song first made his lord's intention clear to Zhen Yao, but then he suggested implicitly that the land of Yizhou Tianfu should not be controlled by such a stupid person. He hoped that Zhen Yao would have such a plan as soon as possible.

    "Zhen Yao can only remember Zhang Song's meaning deeply even if he is tempted now. After all, it is definitely not something he can do in just a few years if he wants to enter Shu.  Hanzhong is uncertain and Xiliang is not at peace. The word "entering Shu" has almost nothing to do with him.

    Zhen Yao himself met six envoys, so he naturally had to take them to see Liu Xie. In the court hall, although Liu Xie wanted to have a few words with several envoys, more than half of the entire hall were Zhen Yao's people.  The direction of the court proceedings was not under Liu Xie's control at all. He signaled the six envoys to just step forward and say hello, and they could only sit aside obediently.

    After meeting the emperor, the envoys from all sides left Luoyang one by one. It would be difficult to gain anything by staying any longer. They might as well go back early and send missions to their respective masters, at least that's what Chen Qun thought.

    As the spring plowing of the Han Dynasty comes to an end in the new year, news finally comes from Wuji that the imperial city has been built and can welcome the emperor into the palace at any time.  Being able to build an imperial city in just a few months was due to the fact that Wuji City was large and prosperous.

    Various building materials were continuously supplied, and under continuous construction day and night, an imperial city covering an area of ??several hundred acres, and with the concerted cooperation of nearly ten thousand craftsmen of all kinds, finally built the required palace.

    Since the construction of the imperial city in Wuji was completed, Zhen Yao no longer planned to stay in Luoyang. Taking advantage of the early morning meeting, he proposed to the emperor to move the capital again.  The reason is also very clear. Although Luoyang is good, it is close to the three states of Yan, Yu, and Jing. Today, the war in the Central Plains of Han Dynasty is still raging, and the slightest war will affect Luoyang and even the imperial city.

    Liu Xie now finally knows what it means to step out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den. He has no rights at all in Chang'an, and even many of his ministers cannot see each other for half a month.  But now in Luoyang, it's not much better.  Although there was a morning court every day, he was still a puppet emperor. Almost all matters, big and small, were handled by Zhen Yao and his subordinates Wen Wu.

    "Moving the capital again will inevitably be opposed by other ministers in the court. Even Tian Feng, a stubborn old man, said that the emperor should not be allowed to run around anymore.  But when did things that Zhen Yao decided change because of others??The emperor took him to Wuji. He had something important to do and needed the emperor's help.

    None of the ministers and even Liu Xie himself could resist, so the second capital move began again, and the destination was Wuji, which was much farther from Luoyang than Luoyang to Chang'an.

    Still leaving Tian Feng and Gao Lan in Luoyang, Zhen Yao took a group of soldiers to escort the emperor and courtiers to Wuji.  From late spring to the summer solstice, I finally saw Wuji¡¯s generous city wall.

    For Liu Xie, Wuji was unfamiliar, so when he saw the city that was more majestic than Luoyang and Chang'an, and the streets that were a hundred times more lively, he was definitely more surprised than when he came back to Wuji for the first time.  There are many courtiers.

    Because of the construction of a huge palace, the entire Wuji City was divided into several pieces. The three buildings of the inner city, the palace, and the school are the most extensive and special places in Wuji City.

    Except for these three places, the residential areas where courtiers lived were also separated from the houses of merchants and common people, and seemed to be filled with staircases.  The most lively one is the West Market in Wuji, where there are restaurants, goulan and many places, which are enough for patrons from all over the world to spend money.

    When the emperor came to Wuji, Kong Rong and Cai Yong, who had not seen the emperor for a long time, appeared in front of the palace hall in the morning of the second day.  Although the two of them have been out of office for many years, they still have empty positions, and they are highly respected people, so no one objects to them joining the court.  When the emperor saw these two old people, he felt a little happy in his heart for some reason.

    Zhen Yao, who had not been home for nearly a year, stayed at home for three days after returning to Wuji, accompanying his mother, talking to the beauties, or talking to his children.  What made Zhen Yao happy was that, except for the youngest Zhen Feng, who kept crying after seeing Zhen Yao, the others still missed him as their father, and they were all sticky when they came back.

    "As for Zhen Yao, who has not been close to several beauties in the past year, it goes without saying that the pleasure of sleeping with a big girl these past few nights is not enough to be explained to outsiders.  After a few days of absurdity, Zhen Yao finally put his mind back to handling government affairs. However, he changed the original daily morning court to once every three days. Anyway, the morning court would not discuss any important matters, at most it would maintain a kind of  form.

    And in all his busyness, Zhen Yao did not forget another purpose of his original attack on Chang'an.  Especially when I saw Zhen Mi, who was already in her twenties, still guarding the solitary window in the mansion, I felt even more uncomfortable.

    "Zhen Yao didn't want to delay it any longer and didn't notify anyone. He came to the palace alone, told the story between himself and Zhen Mi, and asked Liu Xie to marry him.

    Liu Xie has been emperor for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.  Perhaps they were all of the same age, and everyone had the same sexual interests and hobbies, so Liu Xie quickly gave the Zhen Mansion a royal decree.

    The emperor's decree was brought to Zhen's Mansion by the eunuchs in the palace. Everyone from the old woman Zhang to Zhen Feng, a baby who had just turned one year old, came outside to receive the decree.  Because Zhen Yao had never greeted Zhen Mi before, when the eunuch used the sharp duck call to say that Zhen Mi came forward to receive the order, the little girl was still confused.

    "Edict of the Emperor: Yao, the third son of the Zhen family, and his younger sister Zhen Mi have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. They are a match made in heaven and earth. Now I cannot bear to let the two of them suffer so much, so I have issued an edict to marry Zhen Mi to Zhen Yao.  I admire this!" Although he didn't say much, the content was so shocking that even Zhen Mi, who was closest to the old eunuch, looked in disbelief.  Although the old eunuch also felt that this imperial edict was a bit inexplicable, as "they" who were inhumane, they did not need to worry about it: "Madam, why don't you accept the edict and thank me?  "

    In the Han Dynasty, the wives of princes and ministers could all be called wives, and Zhen Mi was married by the Emperor's order. Although the wedding had not yet been held, there was no harm in wearing this title first.

    "Mi, Mi, thank you for your grace!" Zhen Mi kowtowed quickly, held the imperial edict in front of her with both hands, and stared at it blankly.  Behind Zhen Mi, Zhen Yao, who was also kneeling to receive the order, had a slight smile on his face.

    The old eunuch left just as quickly as he came. When the Zhen family stood up and down, he had already left with a guard of honor.  But Zhen Mi was still in a daze. After seeing Zhen Yao coming to her side, she still asked in a trembling voice: "Third brother, is this true?"

    "Yes!" Holding Zhen Mi tightly in his arms, Zhen Yao nodded heavily.  Around the two of them, Mrs. Zhang sighed softly, but a relieved smile appeared on her face.  Zhang Ying and his daughters also quietly did not disturb the newly married couple.

    My lord was granted a marriage by the emperor, and the marriage partner turned out to be his sister Zhen Mi. Those who knew the inside story, such as Guo Jia, Xu You and others, immediately sent their blessings. Of course, they were just blessings. One of them was greedy for money and the other was fond of having fun. But  There is no gift of money to give.

    Those who didn¡¯t know it, such as Sun Qian and Chen Deng, were stunned for a while.  However, everyone also knew that this was the Lord's family matter, and it was not their turn to intervene, let alone the emperor.Once you have given a decree, it is even more impossible for you to regret it.

    Although the term "Mrs. Gaoming" was not popular in the late Han Dynasty, Zhen Mi forced the emergence of this term several hundred years earlier.  And with this level of status, this wedding is destined to be a grand event.

    But Zhen Yao¡¯s troubles have also come. If he wants to be the groom¡¯s official safely, he must first appease the wives he has already married.  At this moment, everyone including Zhang Ying was a little short-tempered and jealous of Zhen Mi.

    "No, my husband has to go to the emperor and ask him to give us sisters a decree!" The crescent moon hung high in the inner room of the backyard of Zhen Mansion. Diao Chan pouted and tilted her head and said: "Sister Zhen Mi  There is a decree from the emperor, why don't we sisters? My husband is too partial!" "Sister Diaochan said that my husband asked the emperor to also grant a decree to our sisters, otherwise he would not sleep on our sisters' bed." The second person who spoke was  Lu Lingqi, the girl from the Lu family always speaks straightforwardly, and her expression is obviously not a joke.

    Zhen Yao could only look at Zhang Ying, who was usually the most considerate, but Zhang Ying ignored him at this moment, leaving only his back.  But Cai Yan on the side whispered: "Husband, I can let the emperor issue a decree, and there is no harm in issuing a few more."

    "You guys," Zhen Yao was dumbfounded by the women at home. Although it was easy for Liu Xie to issue the order, he didn't want to cause trouble in the city again because of this matter.  want!"

    "My husband is a capable person in this world, and there may be things that others cannot do." Diao Chan came up to her again at this time, her lips licking her sweet tongue, obviously trying to seduce Zhen Yao: "Okay, we sisters all want it very much."

    "Okay, okay, you are all my Zhenyao's women. It's just a decree. Tomorrow Yao will come to the palace to settle this matter!" Helplessly, under the temptation of beauty, Zhenyao still chose to give in.
