Han Shizu

Chapter 1483 The top of Qianyuan takes the platform

In Xia Wuyue, Emperor Liu lost another old minister, the scholar of Jixian Hall became an official, and Zhang Zhao, the Marquis of Shouzhang.Of course, compared with An Shenqi and Li Gu, the grade is obviously much lower, and the influence on the court is also low enough.However, the continued withering of old ministers inevitably caused Emperor Liu to sigh. For him, there were indeed fewer and fewer old friends.

Zhang Zhao, originally named Zhang Zhaoyuan, changed his name to Zhang Zhao because he avoided taboos about his ancestors.This Duke did not play any particularly important role in the Han court, nor did he establish any meritorious honors. However, for more than [-] years in the Han Dynasty, he was able to confer titles and marquises under the circumstances that the merits would be difficult to seal. Don't talk about this person's way of life.

Zhang Zhao's contribution to the great man can be described in a few words, and there is nothing worthy of praise.The most prominent one was probably when the Han army approached the Central Plains in the 12th year of Tianfu, Zhang Zhao, Wang Jingchong and others took the initiative to welcome them, and they won the merit of welcoming them, but he was not the only one.

Afterwards, the functions in the imperial court were mainly to compile history and teach the prince.However, in terms of writing history, there were Jia Wei and Su Yugui in the early years, a group of historians headed by Xue Juzheng in the middle period, and the three halls in the later period were full of Confucian masters, and he also retired.As for the Minister of Wenhua Palace, it can only reflect his knowledge and the trust of Emperor Liu.

Compared with those outstanding and dazzling civil and military heroes, Zhang Zhao's career in the Han Dynasty is lackluster, but he enjoys a high reputation praised by the government and the public, and he is mixed with the envied Marquis of Shouzhang.

When people meet each other, they are often envied, maybe because of their age and virtue, or maybe it's just because of their good eyesight. After being in the eyes of Emperor Liu, they became successful and famous, blessed three generations, and had a good death.

Perhaps, Zhang Zhao also had some self-knowledge, and before he died, he made a posthumous memorial, which was presented by his descendants, saying that he had been in office for three dynasties, and he had no merit to reach others, so please don't ask for a posthumous title or erect a monument.

Of course, Zhang Zhao had this attitude, but Emperor Liu was also magnanimous to the dead ministers, and he still ordered a generous burial, and wrote a Shinto inscription with Li Fang to show his honor.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao was also a well-known book collector at that time. There were thousands of volumes of various classics in his family. Except for a part to be passed down to the family, the rest were dedicated to the three libraries.

For this reason, Emperor Liu issued an imperial edict to give the Zhang family [-] guan, and promoted his second son and eldest grandson to official positions at the same time, which can be called kind treatment.

The air in midsummer was filled with annoying dryness. Even though the sun had set to the west, the blazing light remained undiminished, and the overwhelming heat waves came layer upon layer, shrouding the Han Palace.

The sound of hurried footsteps was very clear on the heavy floor in front of the Chuigong Hall, but Prince Liu Yang, Prime Ministers Zhao Pu and Wang Pu came hand in hand, sweating profusely and looking serious.

"I've seen Your Highness! I've seen you two gentlemen!" Geng Shuang, the official in the palace, hurriedly saluted.

"Is Your Majesty here?" Liu Yang didn't hesitate at all, and asked directly, with a harsh tone.

Tong Shi was a little intimidated, thinking in his heart that something serious must have happened, and immediately replied with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "Go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty is going to Qianyuan Palace!"

"Go to the Qianyuan Hall!" Without delay, Liu Yang turned straight and headed for the Qianyuan Hall, which is directly opposite the Chuigong Hall, followed closely by Zhao and Wang.

Qianyuan Hall, from the new construction, is the most majestic and magnificent building in Ziwei City, Luoyang City, and even the whole Han Dynasty. The magnificent palace stands proudly, straight into the sky, intuitively showing the powerful national power and majesty of the Han Dynasty. luck.

Whenever foreign ministers come to court from a foreign country, they will first see Qianyuan Hall and then Luoyang City in Xijing.Over the past ten years, Qianyuan Hall has become the most beautiful scenery in the capital.

This palace, which makes people admire infinitely, has also become a symbol of the unreserved awe and submission of imperial power. It stands in Ziwei City and is also rooted in the hearts of all Han subjects under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

When the three of Liu Yang rushed to Qianyuan Hall, they learned from the guard on duty that Emperor Liu was in Qianyuan Hall, but at the peak of Qianyuan.

At the beginning of the construction of Qianyuan Hall, a high platform was left on the top of the hall, named Lanyue Platform.This is the highest place in Luoyang City, and it is also located in the Qianyuan Palace. It is the closest place in Luoyang City to the sky, and it is used to allow Emperor Liu to communicate with the universe.

Of course, Emperor Liu seldom visited it in person since it was completed. It was troublesome to go up and down the nearly [-]-meter-high building.

This time, Emperor Liu came from Xingzhi and personally ascended Qianyuan.After Liu Yang and the others learned about it, they didn't hesitate at all, and hurriedly climbed up the corridor from the back of the hall.

With such a height, such weather, plus all kinds of twists and turns on the way to the palace, and Zhao and Wang's old bodies, it took nearly two quarters of an hour to reach the building under the platform.

After being notified and with Emperor Liu's permission, the three of them climbed the last step.Speaking of which, I already knew there was such a place, but whether it was Liu Yang or the two prime ministers, this was the first time they had come here.

Climbing Qianyuan, especially walking on the platform, is also considered a taboo thing. From the beginning of its construction, it has brought a layer of mysterious and sacred brilliance.

Therefore, with some curiosity, he looked at the surrounding environment, but when he saw Emperor Liu standing in front of the stage facing the wind, he quickly restrained his mind and bowed from behind to salute.

The setting sun was shining, and the sky and the earth were still like a hot furnace, but it was extremely cool on the platform, and the strong wind was blowing wantonly, making Emperor Liu's dragon robe roar.

Liu Yang couldn't help but glanced outside the stage. He felt as if he had seen another world.

Maybe it's because it's too high, or maybe it's because it's the peak of Qianyuan.

Seeing that Emperor Liu was a little close to the fence, although Yantuo and Baiyang were guarding him, Liu Yang still cared and said: "This place is steep, please move your majesty away from the fence!"

Hearing Liu Yang's concerned words, Emperor Liu smiled slightly, and replied: "Moving is a trivial matter, but how come such a wide field of vision, how can we survey the world and embrace the universe?"

Emperor Liu's words were very feigned, and he wasn't enjoying himself. His voice seemed dissipated under the attack of the wind. He called the three of them to come forward, pointed to the outside of the tower, raised his voice, and said, "I have been out of the palace many times and visited Luoyang. The place with the best view is still the best here!”

From the perspective of Emperor Liu, the entire Luoyang City can be seen at a glance. From this point of view, there is indeed a unique experience. People's hearts and minds seem to have become broader, and their realm seems to be able to be sublimated.

Standing on the railing at the edge of danger, feeling the unemotional summer wind blowing, although the building looks very solid, it always gives people a feeling of fear.

Especially Zhao Pu, it's not that he has never been in a higher place, and it is not that he has never experienced the danger of Mount Hua, but he only feels apprehensive on this altar full of human wisdom.

Zhao Pu didn't have a fear of heights, but at this moment he felt that his legs were a little weak, especially when Emperor Liu was still standing there with a relaxed face looking at the scenery, he felt even more frightened.

If there is any accident, such unthinkable thoughts linger in my mind unstoppably.

However, seeing Emperor Liu's free and unrestrained expression, Zhao Pu couldn't help but lick it, and exclaimed in his mouth: "It's such a dangerous building, I wait to climb up, and I'm terrified, nervous and don't know why. Your Majesty leans on the railing, but it's like walking on flat ground. Such as the view of the garden, such courage and courage, such a high-spirited heart, is admirable!"

Zhao Pu's words were broken up by Xia Feng, and combined with his demeanor and subtle body movements, his emotions were expressed in place, as if they were real.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu still couldn't help being amused, waved his hands, and made a joke: "Zhao Qing, I haven't heard you say these flattering words for a long time. When I heard this, I still feel refreshed and impressed. Joy."

"Your Majesty was joking! I'm ashamed!" Zhao Pu blushed a little, showing embarrassment, whether he was ashamed or out of breath.

In the typhoon vent of this building, it is really not a suitable place to talk, especially seeing the state of Zhao Pu and Wang Pu, Emperor Liu moved in at the invitation of Liu Yang to listen to the report.

In the middle, there is another altar with a shrine, complete with sacrificial vessels, and the burning incense was inserted by Emperor Liu himself this time.

There was a row of yellow cattail cases, along with melons, fruits, snacks and drinks. Emperor Liu came up, as if he really wanted to invite the gods, drink and communicate with the gods of heaven and earth.

"Tell me! What's going on, I need to trouble the three of you. You are in such a hurry, come and see you!" Sitting down, looking at the three of Liu Yang and noticing their tired bodies, Emperor Liu asked softly.
