Chapter 3 Food and Color(1/2)
The palace of Yuliang Prince in Western Yong was neither lofty nor grand.
The original general's palace of Gao Xianzhi, a famous general in the old Tang Dynasty, has not been demolished for several generations after his defeat, so it is still in use today.
It is an indisputable fact that Xiyong is barren. In those years of war, even one of the people could not afford it. Except for the fierceness of the Liangzhou cavalry, which was famous all over the world, it was nothing.
The Liu family was the last to build Xiyong. The Central Plains had been in chaos for more than ten years and many small countries were established. Even the emperor named Zhao disappeared. The Liu family still hung the flag of the former Great China Empire and fought with Mobei for several years.
That is to say, Liu Ba went to Jian'an to ask for a marriage, married Emperor Jianwen's sister Zhao Gongzhuo, and became a veritable puppet of the Zhao family in the northwest. Only then was he supported and became the overlord of the party!
Two years ago, when the world was first established, five kings were worshiped. Liu Ba, the Zhenbei King of Xiyong, was naturally the most glorious and powerful among them. Therefore, Princess Zhao Gongzhuo of Xiyong also felt that after all the hardships, it was time to renovate the palace! According to the
The royal family of Jian'an is renovating the Yuliang Palace in Xiyong.
Riding a fast horse can run faster than the 600-mile sprint! Su Ren led the way and was stopped when he entered Yuliang City. He opened his mouth and said that he wanted to see Liu Ba and that there was an urgent matter about the second son Liu Tingyu and that he was guarding the city.
The sergeant detained him immediately. If he didn't have the warrant to build the imperial palace, he would have been regarded as an assassin!
He was led to the Yuliang Prince's Mansion, which was still under renovation. Su Ren's head hurt when he saw it. The mansion of any adult in Jian'an was more upscale and classy than the Yuliang Prince's Mansion!
Suddenly I felt like I was being cheated. I was afraid that my parents’ coffin would be in vain. Wasn’t it said that Xiyong had a great reputation? Did it dominate the northwest in just ten years? Why didn’t any of the palaces look decent?
How much money can this ambassador from the tax department earn?
He, the son of a low-level official, naturally didn't know that Xi Yong's dominance in the northwest was due to the so-called gifts from Dajian every year! Otherwise, how could Liu Ba, who was in the northwest, surrender to Dajian so easily!?
The poverty of Xiyong has created the tough character of the people and created countless myths of the God of War in Xiyong.
This was the strongest military force in the empire back then.
After the empire collapsed, all the elite combat power was in Yuliang!
General Yu Shiji of the Great Jian Dynasty came to Yuliang and reported back to Jian'an in the Dahe Hall with only one sentence: One armor of Xiyong can be equal to three riders of Feilong, but black armor is even better!
Back then, Liu Tingyu, the concubine of Xiyong, defeated Bailiang City with 20,000 black armor troops. Only 30,000 black armor troops slaughtered 100,000 people in Bailiang City. In less than seven days, Xiliang was completely destroyed!
Thirty thousand black armor ambushed Beiye's elite 10,000 heavy armored soldiers, and Beiye general Xiahou Bo's entire army was wiped out.
The words "I want to push the most beautiful woman into my crotch" flew into Zhou Peiyan's ears as Beiye was destroyed in three cities in three days. The Queen of Beiye who is famous all over the world and is the eighth most beautiful woman on the list of beauty.
He was so frightened that he collapsed on the throne!
These things are also known to the common people.
Su Ren has read a lot, and no matter how stupid his brain is, he still understands some truths!
Look at the renovated wall of the Yuliang Palace. The mud wall on the outside is incomparable to the sorghum and thick wood walls of the shops opposite! They are poorer than the common people! It is not surprising that Liu Ba, the king of Xiyong, can win the battle!
Turn around and think about the houses and pavilions in the city.
Sure enough, Shen Shidao just wanted to recite poems, paint and build elegant attics with beauties in his arms. How could he have Yu Liang's mood of poverty and struggle!
Xiyong Liuba is a character!
Except for the pair of stone lions at the entrance, which are a bit interesting, a glance inside the palace is just ordinary. There are no luxurious decorations in the palace. Only the palace is full of good-looking maids, ranging in age from ten to thirty or forty.
wait.
Su Ren knows that these are the surviving daughters of the country's overthrow. They were once princes, nobles, and even princesses of the country. After the country's overthrow, they either died or became prisoners and were sent to Yuliang!
Liu Ba had no money to reward his generals, so he took such women as rewards and gave them to those generals who had meritorious service! But there were too many prisoners and the rewards were endless, so they had to take them to the Yuliang Palace!
The sergeant took him in and passed through several houses.
We arrived at the military training field of Fangfang. The others in Prince Yuliang's Mansion were not that great, but the military field of Fangfang was not small. It covered nearly three acres of sandy land, and there were many training equipment and dilapidated dummies in the middle.
Wooden pile platform, weapon rack, stone grinder, sandbags, whatever you need is there!
A large room next to it was tightly guarded, with dozens of uniformed guards standing with swords in their hands, all in neat military appearance, and all of them with sharp eyes. Just one glance made Su Ren dare not even take a breath.
When he arrived at the door, Su Ren was taken in after being notified.
There were many people standing in a large room, most of them like generals waiting for lectures. There were two rows standing in front, with seven people in each row, a total of fourteen people. Then there were several scribes standing in a row next to them. There was a high platform in front of the hall.
Among the two people, one of them stood with a rugged face comparable to Zhang Fei's.
Su Ren's heart trembled, this person must be Liu Ba without a doubt!
There was also a plump middle-aged woman standing next to him. This woman was dressed in luxurious clothes, and she had a Jian'an silk ribbon mopping the floor to show her wealth and grace. Her face was ordinary, not ugly, but she had seen it when she came in before.
There are too many women with beautiful faces and good bodies. When I see this woman again, she looks like a vulgar girl!
Of course, I only dare to think about it in my heart, and I will never even dare to show any disrespect towards her in my eyes. It is said that Queen Zhao Gongzhuo of Xiyong has a temper no less than Liu Ba!
This posture of standing high on the hall and looking down at the leaders of the group is quite reminiscent of a small imperial court!
On the stage, Zhao Gongzhuo was still chattering to Liu Ba, completely ignoring the intention of someone coming in.
"Tell me about it!? Who set the rules in the first place? Tingxuan only touched her last time, without even pressing the bed! You gave her twenty lashes as a punishment! What now? He even touched this girl's body
It’s broken! What else can you say?”
There was a smile on that flying face, not caring at all, and holding a beard. Liu Ba, the hero of the generation of Zhenbei King, had a pleasant face, and his smiling expression looked a bit like a thief! He said to Zhao Gongzhuo: "Ting Yu is obviously here.
Dengcheng, how can you break her body? Unless she also goes to Dengcheng? Why bother with Tingyu?"
"Why are you provoking? She was intercepted when she went back to pay homage to her parents, on purpose! My lord, you can't indulge him anymore this time!? You have to give an explanation for this, right?"
"this……"
Liu Ba looked at the woman standing under the stage, kneeling there with her head lowered, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
"Here, let's call Tingyu back and ask?"
Queen Xiyong's words were sharp: "It's time to call her back and have a serious confrontation. It's too much! Your Majesty, you can't treat one with favoritism! If Tingxuan touches these women, you'll whip them dozens of times! What should I do if he does? Shouldn't he also be whipped a few times?"
Ten lashes?”
The rough-looking prince had some objections when he heard this. He raised his hand slightly and said hesitantly: "Uh... Tingyu is also a meritorious general. He conquered the Northern and Southern Chen, the Western Wei, the Zhongwei, and the Western Liang. He also established
He has made a lot of great contributions, but he has never been rewarded. Since he likes this girl, let’s reward him!”
"Your Majesty!" Hearing this, he almost flew into a rage, but the skirt covered her and he couldn't see whether she jumped. Only the trembling in her chest showed her anger! The woman's dissatisfaction was palpable.
Before she could say anything else, as if he had made up his mind, Liu Ba asked his generals: "What do you think?"
"Young Marshal has made great contributions! He should be rewarded!"
"Ok, deal!"
"You!" He almost pointed a finger at Liu Ba's face, but he was suspicious of Jieyue, especially since this was still the meeting hall, and women shouldn't have come! Then he glanced at the crying woman on the ground, and now she was crying loudly.
, and it means getting bigger and bigger. Suddenly Zhao Gongzhuo showed a hint of sinisterness on his face, and said with a smile: "That's right, Tingyu is still alone after fighting for so many years, and Tingxuan has a concubine and a third concubine.
, I don’t let Tingyu take care of it, let outsiders talk about it, it’s better for me, the queen, to favor one over the other. If Tingyu likes it, it’s up to him. There are so many worthy girls in this house, how can one be enough? Find another one! I see.
The queen of Cao Boyan in the Western Wei Dynasty was also pretty good! She also looks a bit like this girl! I think Tingyu will like her!"
"Hey, that won't work, you're too old! You're almost fifty!" Prince Xiyong scratched his head, his beard almost became crooked!
"
Didn’t the prince say that he won’t support idle people? Since that woman is useless, kill her, otherwise that’s the end of it!”
A group of people in the audience were silent.
This Queen of Xiyong has always been domineering, so I am afraid this matter will not go away. The thoughts behind this...
That Cao Boyan was killed by Liu Tingyu herself. That woman would not let Liu Tingyu go even if she risked her life!
The rugged prince is not stupid. He opened his mouth and continued: "Is this okay? I make the decision! Give her to Shen Yong! You can find another one!"
Although he was saying this, his eyes glared at Zhao Gongzhuo. The sister of the current emperor gave up decisively after feeling the prince's anger.
He lowered his head and said reluctantly: "Since the prince said so, I will choose another one. It will be easier for you to indulge in it!"
Why!--
I got a woman for nothing for no reason!
Although I am a bit older...
But Shen Yong has always been a vegetarian!
Everyone looked over,
Among those literati, there was a slightly thin old man in white with a mustache and a yellow face full of wrinkles. He looked like an old man! It is said that Shen Yong was just over fifty this year, so why did he look like a seventy-year-old man?
An old man of ten?
That's true! If you crawl around among women all year round, go to bed with women, and get out of bed with women, the regeneration rate of kidney fluid is far slower than the rate at which it is spent. It's strange that you don't age!
At this moment, the clothes in front of his belly are still shaking slightly! That is his habit. People who don't know better think that this guy is peeing!
The fake old man seemed not to have heard, and was still shaking and shaking. After shaking for a long time, he realized that everyone was looking at him, and asked in confusion: "Huh?"
"What?"
Liu Ba raised his eyebrows: "Yes, Old Shen, I'm giving you an advantage! I'll give you Zhai Lihua!"
"call!"
Shen Yong blew slightly, pursed and raised his mouth, touched his mustache, and suddenly a wretched expression appeared as his pair of thieving eyes bent down: "Okay, by the way, this woman is like a wolf in her thirties.
If you are ten like a tiger, if you are fifty, then the goddess descends to the earth, and the nine-tailed fox appears! The energy of the man that can be sucked is gone, the body and bones disappear, the mind wanders in the sky, and the dragon looks at the sea!"
