Girls from good families from all over the country entered the palace one after another.At this time, it is midsummer, and the white dimples are also blooming.The palace man reported to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, all the cypresses you ordered to plant at that time are blooming, layer upon layer, as beautiful as white clouds. When will you set it up to watch it?"

Ever since Zhang Qian introduced it to the Central Plains during his envoy to the Western Regions, it has been planted as a rare and precious ornamental plant, and only dignitaries would plant a few pots.It wasn't until Liu Xie saw it by chance and asked to plant it inside and outside the palace walls that he harvested a large area.

Liu Xie thought for a while: "I'm busy with government affairs, so I won't go to watch it. Now there are hundreds of women from good families who have entered the palace, so let them pick the white piles." There can't be hundreds of people who just eat and don't work Well, Liu Xie secretly feels sorry for the waste of money spent.

The ordinary cotton in later generations has an incomparably elegant name at this time——Bai Die Zi.In later generations, picking cotton was an ordinary field work.But now the production of Baidizi is still small, and it is regarded as a flower species that is even rarer than peonies. It is not out of elegance for the emperor to let these young ladies from aristocratic families pick them.

"After picking, let them remove the shells and send them all to Luoyang Garment Factory." Liu Xie ordered: "Let Luoyang Garment Factory think about it and use this stuff as silk filling to make warm and light clothes." Go, he added: "Wait a minute, you don't have to follow the imperial regulations, just say that I want to reward the soldiers stationed in the bitter cold place, the style is based on the jacket and trousers that are easy to move."

It turns out that cotton was only grown in large quantities during the Song Dynasty, and cotton was not yet used as a magic weapon to keep out the cold.In this era, the poor often wear sheepskin jackets in winter, and some people often freeze to death in the cold winter.The lives of nobles were much easier, they could wear robes mixed with thick silk or hemp and kudzu, and even mink and fox fur coats.

It is not difficult to make cotton clothes. Liu Xie is determined to produce the finished products and plant them in large quantities in the north in the spring of next year. In the future, the price of cotton will continue to be reduced so that soldiers and common people can wear cotton clothes and quilts.

However, Yuan Shao sent someone to assassinate the emperor and failed, and a certain poisonous man under his command made a living. Taking advantage of the opportunity to choose a good girl to do the problem, he sent a few talented spies to lurk around the court lady, and successfully sneaked into the palace.However, the spies waited and waited, but they didn't even see His Majesty.

During the day they have to pick white dippers, clean the palace, and at night they have to read and practice calligraphy.There is a special teaching department in this palace. After studying for seven days, according to individual talents, they are divided into many subdivided classes such as finance, teaching, management, and marketing.The spy couldn't hold back, and secretly stuffed gold and silver to the teacher's female teacher to inquire about the news: "Master, when will I see the emperor?"

The lady refused to accept it, and said: "The Son of Heaven is busy with affairs, and he often doesn't go back to the North Palace. How can it be so easy to see him?"

The Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into the South Palace and the North Palace, which are connected by a wide, roof-covered complex road in the middle, and the complex road is seven miles long.Today, only the North Palace is the private residence of His Majesty, and the South Palace surrounding the Weiyang Palace is the place for court congratulations and political discussions.

Nangong was carefully built for Lu Buwei in the Qin Dynasty, and the palaces and pavilions are row upon row, magnificent and magnificent.After continuous renovation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scale became even grander.The Shang Dynasty, the political affairs and the five ministries are all in Nangong. The emperor is busy with affairs, so he often stays in Weiyang Palace in Nangong.

The spies inquired in many places, only to find out that the emperor is enthusiastic about government affairs, and the number of times he has stayed in the North Palace in the past month can be counted on one's fingers.Not only the spies were curious, but these girls from all over the world were also full of longing for the emperor, and they often asked the female officer in charge of education and the master when they would see His Majesty.

The female officials looked indifferent: "At least until the queen enters the palace, the concubines will not be divided into concubines. Please be patient." Turning around, the female officials recorded the performance of the females in detail in the "Newcomer" issued by the big palace lady Cherry. "Assessment Form", and according to the newly learned counting method, score from 1 to 10.

As the autumn harvest season came, the Xiongnu temporarily stopped their attacks and concentrated on harvesting the captured wheat from Bingzhou and counties.Not only the Xiongnu, but Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the north also temporarily ceased fighting.Gongsun Zan withdrew his troops and let the soldiers who had no intention of fighting go home to collect food.Gongsun Zan had no other choice. Youzhou was really poor. Not only did it not have much grain, but it also had to rely on the imperial court for financial support. In any case, the war could not affect the grain harvest.

Gongsun Zan gnawed down several counties and towns in Jizhou this time, and the food stored there and the gold, silver and jewels recovered from the county government's mansion really made Youzhou envious.

Gongsun Zan couldn't help complaining to his subordinates: "My life is worse than that of a county magistrate in Jizhou! Not to mention my old mansion, we don't even have such good wine and exquisite wine utensils in Youzhou."

Fortunately, the great talent Xi Zhicai visited the emperor's favored ministers successively since he entered Beijing, and persuaded the emperor to make him the governor of Jizhou.After conquering Jizhou, there will be no need to return to Youzhou, and Liu Yu will be scolding for extravagance and waste even if a banquet is held.

During the autumn harvest, Lu Bu was not idle, and ordered soldiers to help the local people harvest wheat, transport the wheat to the wheat field to dry, and pack it into bags.In addition, he personally took the elite of his men to rob the grain harvested by the Huns in Yunzhong County, which caused the Huns a headache and scolded the Han army for being shameless.Lu Bu didn't care, this was originally the property of the big man, and it was just returned to the original owner.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.On the other end, Le Jin was holding a saber, and had already brought [-] elite cavalry, bypassing the main force hoarded by the Xiongnu in the county town, and going straight to the rear of the Xiongnu.They have few people and few targets, so they can hit the Xiongnu by surprise.

Le Jin is a brave and decisive person, leading the army to fight at the forefront. He led the troops and wiped out many small groups of Hun cavalry along the way. By plundering Hun supplies all the way, he directly killed the border city of Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in the north. Shuofang.

After it was found out that the Huns' strength was only [-], Le Jin attacked the city at dusk when the Huns were about to close and the defense was weakest.

Facing the fierce Xiongnu, Le Jin shouted sharply: "The thieves slaughtered our border people and enslaved our Han people. Today is the time for them to pay their debts with blood. Kill them with me!" Several thunderbolt bombs caught the Huns guarding the city gate by surprise.The city defenders were shot by the sharp iron pieces of the missiles, and they fell from the city wall like dumplings in a pot.Le Jin took the opportunity to lead people to rush towards the city, not giving the Xiongnu a chance to close the city gate.

The Xiongnu were terrified by the sudden attack, thinking that the Han army had defeated their main force, so they approached the city.In the panic, the Huns were unable to organize an effective counterattack, and the city was broken by the Han army.Le Jin had already beheaded dozens of Huns with a saber, and the elite behind him also followed him.In one night, a thousand heads of the Xiongnu were beheaded, and the five thousand Han people in the city were all restored to freedom.

When the news was sent back to Yunzhong City, many soldiers praised Lu Bu for his good use of people.Lu Bu didn't take credit for it: "That day I reported the merits of the generals to the imperial court. It was the emperor's discerning eye who issued a secret order to Le Jin to follow Huo Qubing's example and go deep into the enemy's camp to catch him by surprise."

Everyone talked a lot, not only lamenting Le Jin's good luck, but also thanking Lu Bu for not randomly taking credit when he submitted the battle report, and even lamenting that today's son is wise, "the decisive victory is thousands of miles away".

Lu Bu was too lazy to listen to the praises of the crowd, so he interrupted them directly: "Even if Le Jin won this big victory, he still couldn't take back the city. After beheading three thousand Xiongnu in Shuofang City, he returned with the captured generals alive, but the city It will still be re-occupied by the Huns in a few days. You generals must not relax, after the autumn harvest is over, we will have a big battle with the Huns."

Lu Bu guessed exactly what the Huns were thinking, but the Huns came sooner than he expected.Before the autumn harvest was completely over, the newly appointed Xiongnu Da Shanyu personally led troops to raid Yunzhong City.

Lu Bu did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he personally led the troops out of the city to fight.

The Xiongnu sent out a vanguard, and a young general rode out on a black horse and shouted: "Which one is Lu Bu, take your life!"

Lu Bu shot an arrow with his bow and shouted coldly: "An unknown soldier, dare to act wildly before this general!" The powerful arrow was like a shooting star, and directly shot the forward off his horse, which shocked the Huns.

Shan Yu, who was worried about being injured by the thunderbolt bullets of the Han army, did not go out to fight, but watched the battle in the Chinese army.Seeing that Pioneer's move was defeated, he immediately looked very unkind, holding back his anger and asking the left and right: "Who is going to frustrate this person?"

"Look at my ability, Shan Yu!" In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the new Zuo Xian Wang rode forward and shouted: "Son Lu Bu, don't hide in the back, hurry up and die!"

Lu Bu patted the red rabbit, and the red rabbit leaped forward knowingly. Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the battle robe of hundreds of flowers flaunted in the wind.He narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at him proudly: "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

"I am Zuo Xianwang Yiling, the man who took your dog's life!" Zuo Xianwang held a meteor hammer and struck Lu Bu on the head with all his strength.

When ordinary people see this meteor hammer weighing more than 30 kilograms, they will feel fear and avoid it involuntarily, but Lu Bu is not in a hurry. Pass.The sky painted halberd above his hand hit the back of the opponent's hand directly.

"Ah!" Zuo Danyu was hit unexpectedly, only felt pain and numbness in his hand, his hand was loose, and the meteor hammer came out of his hand.Seeing that the situation was not good, his followers immediately came to rescue him.The Han army also rushed to Lv Bu immediately. Lv Bu held up Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted, "Kill!"

The beating of the drum vibrated the heaven and the earth, and the soldiers of the two sides fought in one place, until the sun and the moon were darkened.Until dusk, the Han army blew the gong to retreat.Lu Bu and Zhao Yun leaned back to back, and broke the rear for the Han army.The two peerless gods of war are one foot long, and they are both the corpses of the Huns.

Lu Bu yelled: "Go back to the city! The archers are ready!"

After returning to the city, Lu Bu counted the casualties. The Han army suffered a lot of casualties this time. There were 1000 soldiers killed in the battle alone, and countless wounded.Lu Bu couldn't help frowning: "The Xiongnu really didn't do it well. I'm afraid even the most elite guards of the royal court have been dispatched."

Gao Shun also sighed: "It's hard to hit hard."

Yu Jin said angrily: "The Huns are like vicious dogs. They are determined to tear the territory of the four counties of Bingzhou from our Han territory. It is a pity that even if our Han people save the last drop of blood, they will never die." Will not let them succeed."

Lu Bu glanced at him, and Yu Jin's arm was still dripping with blood. He shouted, "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go down and have the doctor look at the wound? Do you want to destroy this arm?"

Yu Jin quickly responded, "No!"

Looking at the arm of Jin's arrow, Lu Bu was still worried, and ordered Gao Shun: "A few days ago, the doctor who came here with the order from Beijing to bring medicine was called Hua Tuo? You bring him here, and he must be shown to Yu Jin." Yu Jin's arm was seriously injured. If it is not diagnosed and treated properly, it will definitely affect the accuracy of drawing the bow and archery.That Hua Tuo, after all, is a famous doctor recognized by the emperor, and the emperor has always been right in seeing people.
