"I was still in Weicheng during the Chinese New Year last year, and I came to Chang'an this year. Things in this world are really uncertain. Forget about other things, I am missing Xian Niang..."
Ms. Cao sighed quietly, unable to explain what she felt in her heart.
I am a little greedy for the wealthy life I had in Hebei, and I am worried about my daughter who has gone somewhere. Besides, my future is also bleak. Anyway, my life is very miserable.
Dou Jiande was not that worried. He picked up the water and drank it. After finishing it, he touched his mouth with his sleeve. However, he completely threw away all the etiquette he had been taught in Hebei and returned to his original rough and arrogant appearance.
Then he started muttering, "We haven't had a good New Year's Eve these years. We don't have to think so much this year, and there aren't many people coming as guests. It's just the two of us who can keep things clean."
I finally figured it out, what kind of bullshit heroes are afraid of death when they come here... I have also been an emperor, and when I go to other people's places, my legs are weak...
Okay, don't think so much, let's make money one day at a time, it doesn't matter if the wife is not here, she is stuck with us, we don't know when we can get married.
If you feel lonely... let's try harder and give birth to a son?"
Mrs. Cao held it in for a long time, looking at him looking like there was no tomorrow, feeling a little sad, but she only said one word, "Get out."
In fact, Lao Dou had no idea. After entering Chang'an, he couldn't display his great abilities no matter how great he was.
This was not like any other place. It was not like he had not been caught by the government back then, and the old subordinates could still think of ways to rescue him.
Now he can't even see anyone from Hebei, let alone run away.
That is to say, Lao Dou is quite tolerant. Otherwise, as a former emperor, he would have been unable to think about it and would have killed himself if he was imprisoned in such a small place.
In ancient times, most of the defeated princes had miserable endings. One was that they were feared by others, and the other was that they could not get over the hurdle. They were depressed and unhappy, and either died of illness soon or indulged in wine and sex and became disabled.
Old Dou's adaptability is pretty good. Now he knows how to exercise, not let himself think too much, and go out to have some fun from time to time. Both physically and mentally, he will be much better than when he first came here. He can be regarded as a good person.
of miracles.
The main thing is actually his tenacious vitality. He is different from others. He led his people all the way out of the mountains of corpses in Shandong and sat on the throne of the emperor from scratch. He has lived for such a long time. After thinking about it all over the world, he will be dead.
Fuwei can compete with him.
Of course, if Lao Dou knew what kind of life Du Fuwei was living now, his eyes would turn blue with envy, and he would probably have thoughts of murder.
Looking at his unhappy wife, Dou Jiande smiled bitterly in his heart. He had been an emperor after all, and over the past few months he had gradually gained a clear understanding of his situation.
The situation looks good or bad.
The good thing is that Li Ding'an didn't have the intention to kill him. This should be related to his origin. He was from a humble background and only stood out in great circumstances. He usually had no ability to gather people, so Li Yuan and Xiao Xian were both dead. He and Du Fuwei
But still alive.
This is also the disadvantage. Sometimes it is better to be alive than to be stabbed. If he is imprisoned for a few years under his identity, the old army will disappear. He will probably be trapped in the house for the rest of his life and will not be able to leave. What awaits him will be a long life of imprisonment.
It's chilling to think about.
Every time he thought about this, he recalled the moment when he saw Li Ding'an in the palace. At that time, he was really scared to death and his body was as weak as butter.
Old Dou is one of the so-called "deaths that are the only way through the ages". Those who can calmly die for righteousness are all people with firm beliefs. It is difficult to do it with blood and blood. Dou Jiande is obviously not among them.
So he was ashamed. If he could have stood firmer and had stronger bones, he might have been able to die generously without having to suffer from other troubles.
It's a pity that at that time, he was so ugly that he was not as brave as his wife...
……………………
Dou Jiande comforted his wife for a while, which made him feel quite depressed. He simply put on his clothes and stood up and said, "Come on, let's go out for a walk."
Mrs. Cao was unwilling to move, "It's cold outside, why go out for a walk? I can't get out of the house."
Dou Jiande didn't care about that and dragged the lazy woman up, "I didn't see you shouting coldly when we went into the forest. What's the matter? Are you old now?"
Women in ancient and modern times all look the same, and the word "old" cannot be heard. Mrs. Cao smacked her husband's hand away angrily, "You are not old, but you still want to have a son..."
The couple chattered, and now they had nothing else to do, so bickering became their only entertainment.
……………………
Not far from Dou Jiande's residence, a few guys who were not on duty were drinking and talking in the house, and the topic naturally couldn't be separated from Miss Liu (Dou Xianniang's pseudonym Liu Xian) who brought them wine.
After Dou Jiande returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was named Feng'an Gong. Judging from the title, he was far different from Du Fuwei.
Nowadays, the entire Feng'an Mansion is controlled by the Military Intelligence Department and Qianniu Beishen Mansion. The general division of labor is that the people from the Military Intelligence Department are responsible for the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion, and the people from Qianniu Beishen Mansion are responsible for guarding the security of the mansion.
They built a tight cage and locked Lao Dou inside.
There are also a few people who pretend to be aides to Feng'an Palace, but are actually officials sent here by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to be permanent residents. Dou Jiande can tell them any requests he has, and then report to Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and then respond as appropriate.
The people drinking in the house at this time are all people from Qianniu Beishen Mansion. They want to live more comfortably in the mansion and don't need to worry about other chores. As long as Dou Jiande doesn't run away or he communicates with his old subordinates.
Well, we also need to prevent someone from wanting to kill Lao Dou, or even Lao Dou committing suicide or something. The job is not easy. Even when Lao Dou is sleeping, they have to send people to guard the outdoors. Whenever there is any movement, they will
To react.
……………………
The Senniu Bishen Prefecture has always been the royal guard, and it is also the core component of the Habayashi Guards. They have always been filled by foreign relatives and noble children.
There are not many people in it. It is generally owned by five hundred people. People often call the people in Qianniu Bishen Mansion Qianniu Bishen. In fact, this is not the case. There are only more than ten people in Qianniu Bishen Mansion. There are also
Sixty people were prepared, and the rest were all ceremonial guards.
Being able to enter the Senniu Bishen Mansion symbolizes the highest honor of a soldier in the world. There is nothing to say about this. According to common practice, the emperor usually uses it as a way to reward his former disciples, and does not use military merit as a criterion for entering the Senniu Bishen Mansion.
During the Daye years, its power shrank, and the Husbandry Palace gradually gained more weight. Later, Yang Guang also established the Left and Right Xiongwu Palace, which can also be called the Yingyang Palace, and used it as the main body of the Yulin Guards to enter the palace on a large scale.
Garrison was what people often called Xiaoguo at that time.
The Yulin Guards suddenly swelled, reaching more than 30,000 people at their peak. At that time, the Jiangdu Rebellion actually referred to the rebellion of the Xiongwu Army.
The origins of the Xiongwu Army are mixed. Many of the official positions in the army were bought by local wealthy families or businessmen. Military discipline and loyalty are evident from this. It can be said that Yang Guang dug a big hole and buried himself.
When Li Po took control of the political power in Kansai, the Hussar Mansion, which commanded the world's imperial guards, had been in a virtual state. According to Li Po's intention, the Ministry of War would take over his power. He would first check the situation and, if feasible, then abolish the Hussar Mansion.
Late.
However, Yang Guang's impromptu works such as Xiongwu Mansion and Tongshou Guan were swept into the garbage heap of history without Li Po's words. This kind of temporary measure when there was no other way has such disadvantages that it is unbearable, and it is completely acceptable.
One of the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty.
For example, Yang Guang built the Sifang City outside Liaodong City, or ordered the people of the world to build forts to defend themselves. These were all Yang Guang's whimsical actions.
Therefore, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Qianniu Beishen Mansion re-established its status, and its scale also expanded a lot. Many of Li Po's guards when he was in Jin Dynasty joined in, allowing Qianniu Beishen Mansion's
The number of people came to around two to three thousand.
This is undoubtedly the most glorious moment of the Qianniu Preparation Mansion. Among them are many powerful children, but there are also many soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. With the current combat effectiveness of the Qianniu Preparation Mansion, even if the left and right guards rebel, they can
Settled for life.
Loyalty to the emperor has also reached a new level. Ashina Rongzhen, Luo Shixin and others firmly control the military power of Qianniu Beishenfu.
And their power has also undergone great changes. Their power and responsibilities have been extended from the palace to the imperial city. In addition, the people on duty here in Du Fuwei's Mansion, Mrs. Chu's Mansion, Mrs. Cheng Guo's Mansion, Li Jing's Mansion, and Dou Jiande are all here.
They are officers and soldiers of Senniu Bishenfu.
They gradually became an important military force stationed in the capital, and were no longer just the emperor's guards and honor guards.
Stationed in Dou Jiande's Mansion, the leaders are actually two Qianniu Beishen and four Beishen, and the rest are all soldiers from the Qianniu Beishen Mansion. Because this Guard Mansion is quite special, outsiders always take them out individually, and
Collectively, they are called Qianniu Preparations.
Lu Qianniu has been on duty in the mansion recently, rotating with another person. Each of them can't leave here for a month without food or accommodation. If something happens to Dou Jiande, it will depend on which of the two of them is unlucky.
Such a month is undoubtedly quite boring, like staring at a prisoner in a cage. Someone else is in prison, but he himself has actually followed him into the prison.
There are only a few kinds of fun that the Qianniu Preparators can find here, and the most important one is wrestling with each other, using everyone's salary as a bet. The form is similar to the battleground in Chang'an.
According to military regulations, they must not drink alcohol while on duty, but Qian Niu Bei Shen stationed in various mansions in Chang'an does not have to abide by this rule.
For example, those who followed Du Fuwei often accompanied Du Fuwei to Caiyufang to have fun, and no one would take them seriously.
And every time people here talk, they always envy the happy life there, and secretly curse their colleagues over there for having sons without (harmony) eyes...
