Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Soon an edict summoned Marquis Yangwu, who was stationed in northern Xinjiang, back to Chang'an.  At the same time, an even more surprising news began to spread quickly. It turned out that the Wang family of the current queen was actually from the same clan as Marquis Yangwu. In the end, the family tree was settled, and Marquis Yangwu happened to be the cousin of Empress Wang.

    No one knows how much of this rumor is true or false, but everyone knows that the rise of Wang¡¯s relatives is inevitable.  The first thing that Yang Wuhou Wang Yuanyou did after returning to Chang'an was not to meet the emperor, but to worship his ancestors at the ancestral hall of Queen Wang's family. Then the two royal families directly merged their genealogies and merged into one clan.

    As soon as this news came out, the world was once again in an uproar.  Everyone in the world knows that the current queen also has an extremely powerful backer.

    ??In the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace, it is the 15th day of every month for the Great Court Meeting. Today there are not only the nobles of Chang'an, but also Marquis Yangwu who has just returned from Northern Xinjiang.  As a rule, the queen's father and brothers can be granted the title of marquis, but Wang Yuanyou is already the Marquis of Yangwu, so everyone feels that the emperor must still grant rewards to the Wang family today.

    "Your Majesty has an edict." As soon as the court meeting began, a chamberlain began to read out the imperial edict.

    "The emperor decided to cancel the thirteen prefecture governors and set up a embroidered clothes censor station to monitor the world. The embroidered clothes censor appointed two embroidered clothes envoys on the left and right. He appointed Wang He as the left envoy and Shi Chong as the right envoy. The two envoys on the left and right  The position is the same as that of Jiuqing, and the rank is two thousand stones."

    "Your Majesty's decree." Two people walked out of the crowd of His Highness and bowed to Liu Jin above the main hall. Naturally, they were Wang He and Shi Chong.

    The courtiers were not surprised by the emperor's appointment, because Huo Guang had raised the issue of revoking the governors of the thirteen prefectures a year ago.  Huo Guang's reason was that the power of the governor was too great. As time went by, the provinces under his jurisdiction would become independent kingdoms, forming an invincible situation.

    "Marquis Yangwu comes forward to listen to the order." Before the courtiers could fully digest the information just now, Liu Jin said it himself.

    "I'm here." Wang Yuanyou stood up, left the seat, and stood in the hall with a bow.

    "Wang Yuanyou, Marquis of Wu, is promoted to the general of Da Sima Zhenjun. He has the same position as the Third Duke, and is granted to five thousand households. He is also given a mansion in Xuanpingli." Liu Jin's majestic voice echoed in the Xuanshi Palace.

    "I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Wang Yuanyou bowed again, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of sadness or joy on his face.

    For a while, the Xuanshi Palace was whispering, not discussing the previous censor of embroidered clothes, nor discussing Yang Wuhou's new official position.  Everyone's focus was on Xuan Pingli's mansion.

    Because there is only one vacant mansion in Xuanping now, which is Anyanghou Mansion, the former home of Huo Guang.

    Yangwuhou Wang Yuanyou was destined to become a man of the hour in Chang'an today. As soon as the court meeting in Xuanshi Palace ended, the newly promoted Sima Zhenjun general was announced to Jiaofang Palace by the queen.

    "I pay my respects to the Queen." Wang Yuanyou in Jiaofang Hall paid his respects to the Queen with the courtesy of a courtier.

    "Marquis Yangwu is exempt from the courtesy, my little sister has seen her brother." Wang Wengxu said politely, and then gave a slight salute to Wang Yuanyou.  This time when the Queen summoned Marquis Yang Wu, it was naturally the first time they met as brother and sister.

    Wang Yuanyou raised his head, his eyes met Wang Wengxu, and both of them smiled tacitly.

    "My little sister has often heard that my brother followed King Anyang to fight in the north and south in his early years. I admired him very much. I never thought that the big hero in my little sister's heart is my brother. Can I tell my little sister about the past during my free time today?" The Queen and Wang Yuanyou  Seated as guests and hosts, she took the lead and asked about Wang Yuanyou's past. It seemed that the queen was also very curious about her brother.

    "I obey." Wang Yuanyou bowed and responded.  Now that the two have become brothers and sisters, they really should understand the past, so that the falsehood will gradually become true.

    Wang Yuanyou soon started talking about it when Huo Guangchu was the governor of Chang'an during the Yuanshou period.  Wang Wengxu indeed knew very little about that period. She had just been born not long ago. For most young people today, this era is the legend of Huo Guang.

    "As a woman, I shouldn't ask about some military and national affairs, but after listening to what my brother said, I have doubts in my heart." After listening to Wang Yuanyou's words, Wang Wengxu's expression changed several times, and finally he looked at Wang Yuanyou with a puzzled look.  .

    "There is a saying in Zhou Li that husband and wife are one. The Queen and her mother honor the world. This big man belongs to His Majesty and the Queen. How can we not ask because the Queen is a woman?" Wang Yuanyou said to Wang Wengxu with a smile.

    In fact, in ancient Chinese society, most dynasties were monogamous, and the legal status of the wife was even clarified in the law. In the Western Han Dynasty, the status of the head wife was the same as that of the husband, while concubines were just slaves with a slightly higher status.  That¡¯s all.  The queen behaves like the emperor, rides in the same carriage when going out, and sits in the same seat when entering. In the eyes of the world, the queen can represent the emperor.

    "My little sister would like to ask my brother, what is my biggest worry now?" Wang Wengxu saidHe asked with a serious face. This question is very simple, but it is also the most difficult to answer.

    Wang Yuanyou was also stunned. He didn't expect the queen to ask him such a question. He looked at Wang Weng's beard and thought for a moment, then stood up and walked a few steps forward until he was only half a foot away from the queen.  where it stopped.

    The courtiers and the queen would not normally stand at such a close distance. Wang Yuanyou was approaching the queen at this moment, naturally as an elder brother. This also shows that what he said next was as an elder brother, not as a powerful man.  Hou.

    "Brother, please don't worry. The conversation between our brothers and sisters cannot leave this Jiaofang Palace." Queen Wang's voice did not lose the gentleness of a woman, but also revealed a touch of majesty.

    "In Hexi, in Anyang Kingdom" Wang Yuanyou said a few words calmly, but his voice was not loud.

    Wang Wengxu looked at Wang Yuanyou in astonishment. After a moment, he suddenly realized, and then he said calmly: "Little sister, I understand."

    The first meeting between Queen Wang and her brother was very pleasant. The queen even stayed with her brother to have a dinner in Jiaofang Hall. Even the emperor and the prince were present at the dinner.  Marquis Yang Wu and the emperor's family also enjoyed themselves happily. During the dinner, the monarch and his ministers had a great time, as if they were really close relatives for many years.

    Xuanpingli was bustling with traffic today. Carriages pulling a large number of utensils drove into the former Anyang Marquis Mansion. However, the originally empty door frame was now hung with the large red lacquer characters of Yangwu Marquis Mansion.  None of the other prominent families in Xuanping chose to go out today, and they all seemed to have tacitly agreed to give up the streets outside to the Marquis Yangwu Mansion.

    Many people don¡¯t know when this mansion was first built. Only some older people still remember that it was the residence of Li Cai, the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu. Later it became the Anyang Junfu, and later it became the residence of the Prime Minister of Anyang.  It became the Anyang Marquis Mansion, but now it has been replaced with the plaque of Yang Wu Marquis. It seems that the unchanged Chang'an City has only changed to those powerful families like running water.

    The main hall of Changle Palace has no owner for a long time except for some palace guards and guards responsible for cleaning.  The two palaces of Weiyang and Changle were mostly vacant, which was the first time this happened since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

    Today, the crabapple trees in front of Changle Palace are still lush and leafy. In order to commemorate those relatives who have passed away, Liu Jin also pays special attention to these crabapple trees. Perhaps when he sees these crabapple trees, he will feel that his grandmother and grandfather  , and his father and others are not far away, these crabapple trees seem to make him feel less lonely.

    "Emperor, you are indeed here" Liu Jin stood under the crabapple tree and meditated. Liu Xijun's familiar voice sounded behind him at some point.

    "Sister Huang, do you think I am qualified to be the emperor?" Liu Jin turned around and asked with a smile on his face when he saw Liu Xijun coming.

    Liu Xijun approached Liu Jin, looked at the serious-looking emperor, and burst out laughing, and then said: "You are just too impatient. You have been on the throne for less than a year, and now the big man has already  It has recovered, the people have a place to live, and their food and clothing can barely meet their needs. I believe that in a few years the Han Dynasty will be extremely strong again. You have done better than all the ancestors!"

    "Yes, as long as you give me another ten years, the country under my rule will definitely surpass the glory of our ancestors, and even surpass the glory of my grandfather." Liu Jin also said with a firm expression.

    "Sister, I believe you can do it. Now, isn't Yang Wuhou also at your disposal? There are Sima Qian, Su Wu, Zhang Anshi and others in Chao Zhong, and Wang Yuanyou, Shangguan Jie and others in Wu. Chang'an Academy is constantly innovating.  , I heard that some places in the nine southeastern counties have begun to plant three crops of rice a year. I believe Aocang will be filled with food soon, and there will be countless gold and silver in Shanglin Garden!" Liu Xijun still looked at Liu Jin as if he was looking for someone who needed his assistance.  Like her younger brother, she also looks forward to the future big man, and at the same time, she also believes that this day will come soon.

    Nowadays, the role of Chang'an Academy is not only to sort out the theories of various scholars. Because of Luo Xia Hong, the entire Han Dynasty has also entered a stage of rapid development in agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy.  At the same time, the Mohists also introduced a lot of new things, which led to great development in the use of tools, and there was also a great development in ore mining and smelting.  And Sang Hongyang compiled business theory into a book, which made business extremely active.  The entire Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes in every aspect.

    "I also believe that this day will come, but time has not waited for me Today, Marquis Yangwu told the queen that the Han Dynasty's biggest worry and threat is the Anyang Kingdom  Just an hour ago, I received a letter from King Anyang. He has scheduled to go west to the two passes in two months to completely eliminate the Parthian Empirenot to defeat, but to destroyfar away  Sulla, the ruler of the Qin Dynasty, has already begun the Eastern Expedition. He still abides by his oath to share the Anxi Empire with King Anyang What does my sister think? Wait until King Anyang obtains the large territory and people of the Western Regions and Parthia.After all, is he still the Anyang King of the Han Dynasty?  "

    Liu Jin said with an extremely serious expression, and even Liu Xijun could feel the tense atmosphere from his words.  As an emperor, Liu Jin had to consider the power of the Han vassals. Once the Anyang Kingdom regained the Western Regions and conquered the Parthian Empire, another huge country would be born. As its power grows, will such a country still feel at ease?  As a vassal country that surrenders to the Han Dynasty, no one knows?

    Even though this King Anyang was once a minister of the Han Dynasty, a teacher of the emperor, and a hero respected by everyone in the world, people can't help but wonder whether he is still loyal to the Han Dynasty.

    "Both the late emperor and the teacher once said that to be invincible in the world, you can only make yourself the strongest and always surpass your opponents. As long as the Han Dynasty's national power is at its peak, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone has peace of mind, no one can threaten them.  This country." Liu Xijun looked at Liu Jin and offered words of comfort.

    She knew that Liu Jin¡¯s worries were justified. If Huo Guang really divided the Parthian Empire with Sulla, the territory of Anyang would be even larger than that of the Han Dynasty.  Even if Huo Guang had no other thoughts at that time, there was no guarantee that his important ministers wouldn't have any!

    "Sister also knows the ability of Marquis Anyang. Since he has decided to take the initiative, it means he is fully confident. Sister, how long does it take for him to recover the Western Regions and then conquer Anxi? Five years? Three years? Or one or two years?  Time?" Liu Jin said helplessly. Huo Guang's achievements in his life were too terrible. Not only did he destroy countless countries, but he also solved the war quickly. Liu Jin was really worried that the powerful Parthian Empire could not stop Huo Guang at all.  Too long.

    "This" Liu Xijun was speechless for a moment, and she didn't know what to say.  She wanted to comfort Liu Jin, but found that she couldn't even convince herself.

    "The late emperor once said that the teacher does have selfish motives, but he also has a bottom line. He will never plunge the people of the world into dire straits because of his selfish desires. Your Majesty may be worried!" Liu Xijun thought for a moment and said, she remembered  This is what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said back then, and when Huo Guang was cavalry on the side of the Qing Dynasty, when he encountered the threat of the Huns at the same time, he would choose to fight the Huns first and leave all his main army to guard the border. These actions were also  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made this statement very convincing.  At the same time, Liu Xijun subconsciously did not want to believe that Huo Guang would rebel against the big man.

    "Sister Huangpeople's hearts will always change! Didn't he tell us this before? The hardest thing to understand is people's hearts. I don't dare to bet on the country, the country, and the country. I don't dare to trust the safety of the great man.  I won't change my mind about him! I need time" Liu Jin had Liu Jin's considerations. As an emperor, he cannot place his hopes on others.

    Liu Jin lowered his head, and Liu Xijun also lowered his head. The two were silent for a long time. After waiting for a long time, Liu Xijun spoke first: "I have a way"

    "What can we do?" Liu Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Xijun with expectant eyes.

    "Make peace with Anyang Kingdom" Liu Xijun said slowly.

    "Marriage? It's just that Prince Huo An of Anyang is only eight or nine years old. Besides, I don't have a daughter. If she is just an ordinary daughter of the clan, it means nothing to Prince Anyang!" Liu Jin frowned and said in confusion.

    Liu Xijun looked at Liu Jin seriously, as if he had made some decision. After a moment, he solemnly said: "It is not to marry Huo An, but to marry Prince Anyang directly I will let my sister do the last thing for you."  Let¡¯s do it¡­¡±

    "But" Liu Jin looked at Liu Xijun in surprise.

    "There is nothing but, maybe if I go to Anyang Kingdom, I can protect the Han Dynasty for a hundred years of peace. And in terms of status, there is no one more suitable than me!" Liu Xijun said with a firm expression.

    Without waiting for Liu Jin to agree or not, Liu Xijun suddenly turned around and left, leaving only one sentence behind him: "Brother, I will give the order tomorrow."

    Looking at Liu Xijun's retreating figure, Liu Jin turned around and pressed one hand on the crabapple tree, and then said in a deep tone: "I'm sorrymy good sisterI'm heartbroken if Huo Guang doesn't die."  install"
