Huan Rong

The Chang'an palace complex was first built in Qin Dynasty, and was destroyed by war after the death of Qin II.

After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang took Chang'an as his capital, and Prime Minister Xiao He presided over the construction of Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, creating the Han Palace Group.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, further construction was carried out, the original palaces were renovated and expanded, and Jianzhang Palace and Mingguang Palace were added, making the scale of Chang'an Palace reach its peak, which was not inferior to the palace built by Qin Shihuang.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and the war broke out again, and the palace was once burned.

Until the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu took Luoyang as his capital and rebuilt the Luoyang palace complex.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising caused great chaos in the world, and Luoyang was burned by the rebellious soldiers.Chang'an changed hands several times, and half of the palaces built in the Han Dynasty were destroyed. Although some were repaired, the scale and magnificence were no longer three times that of the previous dynasty.

Di Qin perished, and the Qin family captured Chang'an.

Qin Yu presided over the renovation of the Chang'an palace.

Because most of the Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were damaged, and the manpower and material resources required to repair them were too great, Qin Ce was invited to expand and repair the Gui Palace on the basis of the Diqin Palace, and use the Mingguang Palace as the place where the emperor lives and handles government affairs. The pavilion was added to the back of the palace, which is the living place of the harem.

The official offices continued to use Di Qin, and the civil and military magnates moved into the city and temporarily lived in noble houses in Dongcheng.That is to say, if the homestead is given to you, whether to tear it down and rebuild it or have other plans is up to you.

If there is a quarrel between neighbors, it is best to resolve it yourself.

After all, the "homestead" assigned by Qin Yu is strictly in accordance with the regulations, and there is nothing to criticize.Even if you want to pick things up, you can't find a valid reason.

Was the house assigned to you wrong?

If you don’t want it, send it back, and go to Xicheng and Beicheng to buy land and properties.

Most of Qin Jing's brothers are adults and hold titles and official positions. Except for Qin Jiu and his son guarding Xihe, Qin Zhen and Qin Jue accompany Mrs. Liu in the palace, and the rest all own houses in Dongcheng.

"I've seen it in advance." Qin Yu smiled and praised his brother, "Our houses are all next to each other, separated by an alley, and there is a door on the wall, so it is very convenient to meet."

Can the door be opened casually?

Qin Jing was speechless.

"Why not?" Qin Yu looked around and said in a low voice, "During the cleanup of Dongcheng, hundreds of boxes of gold, silver, pearls and jade were found in the Di thief's house, and this is not counting silk and armor weapons."

Qin Jing looked at Qin Jun, waiting for him to continue talking.

"The things are divided into two parts, the ones on the surface are sent to the palace, and the rest," Qin Yu paused, his voice became lower, "I'll find a place to put them, and you can take them away with you when you leave Chang'an with your troops."

Hearing this, Qin Jing's eyes flickered slightly.

"Brother, who else knows about this?"

"Don't worry, the matter is very confidential, and those who move the boxes and cages are all my subordinates." Qin Yu said seriously, "No one else knows except Auntie and Auntie."

"Mother?"

"To be honest, [-]% of it was arranged by my mother." Qin Jun whispered.

"My mother said that it is impossible to keep all the things. If you pick and hold them, you can use the 'convention' to confuse them even if the incident happens. Besides, you are leading the army and need these things urgently. Instead of staying in Chang'an to collect ashes, it is better Give it to you to take away."

"Also," Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, "after the father moves the capital, Chang'an will never be peaceful. If the father is in a hurry to proclaim the emperor, the chaos will become even bigger. The new emperor in the south is on a patrol, and I heard that he has arrived in You State. There is chaos here, and there is no guarantee what will happen."

"I know." Qin Jing nodded and said, "When the father settles down, I will immediately lead the troops to leave Xianyang."

"My mother ordered, don't rush to start a war with the south." Qin Jun continued, "It is best to defend the territory of the Western Regions, as well as the grasslands to the north."

Qin Jing frowned and asked, "Amma really said that?"

"Yes." Qin Yu nodded.

The two brothers were silent at the same time. Thinking of Mrs. Liu's intentions, their hearts sank and their expressions became serious.

"Things haven't come to this point yet." Qin Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke first, "Mom's move is just a precautionary measure."

"I hope so." Qin Yu shook his head, "No matter what, always be prepared."

The two brothers did not speak again, and there was no clue in their expressions, but in fact, several thoughts had already turned in their minds.Thinking of Chang'an's future situation, and thinking of possible changes in the Qin family, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Unpredictable.

If Qin Ce hadn't been obsessed with power, things might not have come to this point, and Mrs. Liu would not have planned for her sons in advance.After all, the Qin family has rooted in the Northland for many years, and even in the most critical time, they never abandoned the ancestral land of Xihe.Now it is embarrassing to use the Western Regions and grasslands as the way out.

Qin Ce entered the Hall of Light and was worshiped by all officials.

There is a banquet in the palace, and the emperor and his ministers enjoy themselves together.

Eight-tone chorus, complicated strings and urgent pipes.The sound of bamboo strings and jade chimes lingered endlessly, and dancers in colorful silk bent their waists and folded their sleeves, whirling rapidly amidst the music.

The music is gorgeous, the singing is long, and the dancing is delicate.

Accompanied by the aroma of wine, it is drawn into a long scroll of extravagance and pleasure.It was blurred by the light, and when it fell in the eyes, it was a bit unreal, as if it would be broken with a light touch.

Both Qin Jing and Qin Jun had no intention of staying for a long time. The former excused himself from the banquet, but the latter was left behind by Qin Ce, who praised him for his meritorious service in presiding over the renovation of the palace, and should have a drink.

Looking at the wine glass brought in front of him, Qin Jue frowned secretly, raised his head to finish drinking it.

"it is good!"

"Second son is bold, like a king in his early years!"

The officials cheered in unison, Qin Jun put down his wine glass, glanced at the person who spoke, and recognized that it was a general who had followed Qin Ce for many years, and couldn't help but feel chills.

Have the style of father and king in his early years?

Is it not enough to hurt the eldest brother, and you plan to stretch your hands on him?Isn't the lesson of Yin and Xu not deep enough to wake them up?

Qin Jun shook his head, becoming dispirited.Unintentionally, those who were present with him made no excuses, simply got up with an excuse, and followed Qin Jing to leave.

Walking to the door of the hall, he turned his head and glanced inside the hall. For some reason, it was a lively scene, but it made him panic and faintly had an ominous premonition.

Five halls and three pavilions were expanded behind the Mingguang Hall. The Jiaofeng Hall where Mrs. Liu lived was the closest to the emperor, similar to the Xianyang Hall in Taicheng, and it was the daily living place of the queen.

The beauties who moved to the capital with Qin Ce were placed in Lanlin Hall and Jiuhua Hall, each served by maidservants and eunuchs.Under the leadership of Zhou Shi and Zhao Shi, they visited the mistress, and Liu Wei hinted that they got up and left one after another, and each went to settle down.

When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu were not in Xihe, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhao resorted to various means to tidy up the back house three times. No matter who sent the beauties, they were tidied up in a docile manner.

Qin Jing's extermination of both the Yu family and the Yang family was obviously to vent his anger for his mother and to deter those who harbor malicious intentions.The beauties always know the depth, no one dares to fight against the Zhao family and the Zhou family based on their family background.

To be clear, no matter how powerful the family is, how can it be stronger than the blade?

The lesson from the past is right in front of you. No one is a fool. If you are provoked for a few words, you will stand up and be a desperate leader.

Mrs. Liu was relieved, and nodded approvingly to Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhao.

When the two left, they secretly revealed to Mrs. Liu that when they were in Xihe, the pharmacy and kitchen were easy to control, and moving into Chang'an Palace, it might not be as good as before.

"I have my own concerns about this matter." Mrs. Liu didn't want to say more, she just sent them away without worrying.

When Zhou Shi and Zhao Shi walked down the corridor, they happened to meet Qin Jing and Qin Jue coming from the direction of Mingguang Hall.

Seeing the Qin brothers, they suddenly understood why Mrs. Liu seemed confident and wise.

"Let's go." Mrs. Zhao tugged at Mrs. Zhou's sleeve.

Although she is a concubine, after all, she is not related to Aunt Liu by blood, so she should avoid suspicion.Now that I have just moved to Chang'an, it is the time when there are many people and people are the most prone to troubles, so be careful in everything.

Mrs. Liu was sitting in the inner hall, listening to the servant girl telling Qin Jing and Qin Ju to see her, she immediately smiled.

"Let them in quickly."

Aunt Liu smiled and ordered someone to prepare new tea, and said, "Boil it lightly, and adjust the spice less."

The two brothers walked into the inner hall, Qin Ju saluted and retreated to the left, Qin Jing straightened his head, his forehead touched the ground, and did not get up for a long time.

"Ah Zheng, get up." Mrs. Liu smiled, "I finally came back, let me take a good look."

"promise."

Qin Jing straightened up, although the mysterious armor had been removed, the evil spirit seemed to be carved into his bones, even if he deliberately restrained, it was inevitable to release a bit.

His long eyebrows are like ink, his nose is straight, his black eyes are bottomless, and he can't see any emotion.

The handsome appearance is still the same, and the coldness is even worse than before.

Qin Jing at this moment completely explained what a general in a hundred battles is.It also made Mrs. Liu fully understand why her son had the name of "King of Khan", and all the tribes in Rouran were terrified when they heard about it. When Qin Jing led his troops to pursue him, he didn't dare to fight face to face. In order to survive, he did not hesitate to give up the land with rich water and grass .

"I asked Ah Xiao to tell you, do you know everything about gold, silver and armor?"

Qin Jing nodded, "I only know the general idea."

"These things are of great use to you." Madam Liu didn't go around the bush, and cut to the point on the spot, "It's hard to say what the situation in Chang'an is like at this time. If the Sima family is still in power in the south, even if your father can't unify the world, he can still occupy the north." , together with Jiankang to rule the river."

Qin Jing didn't make a sound, but she could already guess five or six points about Madam Liu's next words.

"However, the Huan clan was established on behalf of the Jin Dynasty. Looking at his various actions, he must have a strategy in mind and the first emperor's heart to rule the world."

Having said that, Mrs. Liu sighed.

"God's will is unpredictable, and people's hearts are changeable. Even I, I never expected your father to become what he is today."

"Chang'an Jiankang will have a battle sooner or later. The Qin family has many soldiers and generals. However, the northern land has been plagued by natural disasters for years, and the military rations for the land of the Three Koreas have to be pieced together. If the two places go to war, the military rations alone will become a problem."

To be honest, Jiankang may not be Chang'an's opponent in terms of military strength alone.

It's a pity that the Qin family has the biggest shortcoming, lack of food!

Regardless of the large territory of the Qin family, in fact, the finances are very tight.

The southern lands are full of natural disasters, and there are even snow disasters in winter, let alone the colder northern lands.Winter is cold and summer is drought, and grain harvests have been poor year after year. If there is no supplement from the Western Regions trade route, and the grain from Youzhou City, the gap will only become bigger.

The imperial court rewarded land reclamation and reduced or exempted taxes even more than Jiankang, but due to limited conditions, the results have not been great.

Qin Jing's [-] cavalry can be self-sufficient, and can even fill in some gaps, while other troops do not have such good conditions.Pengcheng is near the south, and the situation is a bit better. Changli, Yuyang, Guangning and other places near the grassland all have to rely on the imperial court to send food, otherwise the defenders will have no food.

How do hungry armies fight?

Comparing the two, once Jiankang and Chang'an go to war, Huan Rong doesn't have to do anything else. He will stick to the Qin family's grain road and make arrangements in the Western Regions to intercept the caravans transporting grain and livestock. It will be reduced by [-]%.

Based on this calculation, Mrs. Liu's concerns are not unreasonable.

"I don't want to be like this either, but it's never a big mistake to plan ahead." Mrs. Liu said earnestly, "If your father orders you to lead troops south, remember to think twice before acting. If it doesn't work, then lead troops to Changli and join Ah Qi to go north."

When Mrs. Liu was speaking, Qin Jing and Qin Ju were listening attentively without making a sound.

After her words fell, the two of them comforted each other, and the matter had not yet reached such a point.

"If your father was still in the past, if Taicheng hadn't changed hands, Jiankang would not be a worry." Mrs. Liu sighed.

"Arrange according to what I said. Ah Zheng, your father will definitely proclaim himself emperor in January. You don't need to wait until the grand ceremony. You can leave Chang'an as soon as possible. You can go to Jingzhou first and let Ah Rong make some arrangements."

"Jingzhou?"

"I heard that the Son of Heaven in the South is on a hunting tour and is currently stationed in Youzhou. I think it means [-]% that he will go west." Mrs. Liu looked at Aunt Liu, who turned around and fetched a wooden box. The jade ware handed down by the palace is exquisite in workmanship and priceless.

"Mum, this is?" Qin Jing was surprised.

"Chang'an Jiankang will eventually have a battle, and sooner or later it will be the enemy. But I can get rid of my stubborn illness, all thanks to the doctors and good medicine in Youzhou. The utensils sent before are nothing. This set of jade is passed down from the previous dynasty. .”

According to Mrs. Liu's wishes, everything should be sorted.

Even if you will live and die in the future, you still have to thank what is due, and the kindness that should be repaid cannot be forgotten.

"I can't leave Chang'an, I'm surrounded by eyes. When you go to Jingzhou, you can send people south."

"promise!"

Qin Jing put away the wooden box, thinking about the journey south.

In fact, without Mrs. Liu's order, he also planned to go south.It's just that Huan Rong is on the hunting tour, with hundreds of officials accompanying him, so it may not be easy to meet him.

Thinking of the news he received a few days ago, Qin Jing unexpectedly lowered the corners of his mouth, the light in his eyes fluctuated slightly, and then disappeared quickly.

Youzhou, Xuyi

The holy driver stayed in the assassin's mansion, and accompanied all the officials to stay in the city.

After learning about the recent development of Youzhou and Henan Provinces, Huan Rong expressed his affirmation to the work of the officials of the administrative office, not mentioning the verbal praise, but even handing out many rewards.

However, seeing the reward from the Son of Heaven, everyone except Xun You was dumbfounded.

Fat sheep and fine wine are fine, but what about animal skins?

Animal skins are justified, but what about a basket of eggs?

Faced with the official's puzzled expression, Huan Rong just smiled without giving any explanation.

The more they don't understand, the more they think about it. Coupled with the ancient people's hobby of making up their minds, everyone can't help thinking, could it be that the emperor intends to develop animal husbandry in the state?Or is it that the Son of Heaven is not satisfied with the current scale of business, and wants to further develop trade routes, using the Western Regions as a transfer point, to start trading with the grassland peoples?

I don't understand.

Everyone racked their brains but couldn't come up with an explanation, so they could only go home with the basket and continue to be fascinated by the eggs.

After thinking about it, I really can't think of an answer, so I can only devote myself to work, hoping that the emperor can see it for the sake of my oil and fire, and don't worry about my stupidity and inability to understand the holy meaning.

Seeing the official's reaction, Xi Yin and Wang Biaozhi didn't say anything, but the gentry gentleman who was traveling with him felt admiration in his heart, and he felt more and more unpredictable about Huan Rong.

In fact, Huan Rong's move didn't have much meaning at all.It's just that the people along the way were too enthusiastic, and the animal skin eggs they sent couldn't be digested, so they simply distributed them to the officials of the prefecture, so that everyone could experience the people's sentiments.

Who would have thought that everyone likes to make up their minds, and they directly misunderstand what he means, and their work efficiency soars, setting an example for their peers.After the latter became an official, he took Youzhou as a reference and brought his diligent work style to the extreme.

The officials below are all wondering whether these gentry gentlemen have taken pills again, so that their energy exceeds that of ordinary people, and they have nowhere to vent and simply devote themselves to work. It is completely that one can serve two purposes.

Shangguan is like this, ordinary officials dare to be lazy? 100% smashing the job!

As a result, the promotion of local officials began to affect the court, and the atmosphere of the entire court changed.

Two words: efficient.

Two more words: extremely efficient.

As the "initiator", Huan looked at the sky for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion: Sometimes being too good at something—such as brain supplementation—is really not a good thing.
