It’s no wonder that the little fat man is so honest.
In fact, it was because the Prime Minister led the army north from Hanzhong and took away most of the troops in Shuzhong, including the northern and southern armies.
The Han troops currently stationed in places such as Guanzhong and Bingzhou and Hedong can be said to be the main force of the Han Dynasty.
To be honest, Adou would not have thought of coming over so quickly if it hadn't been for the Queen's insistence.
After all, Guanzhong is newly settled, and I have never been there before. The Han Dynasty's foundation in Guanzhong is far inferior to that of Shuzhong.
Coming here in such a hurry and with such great fanfare, I always felt a little unsure.
If I feel unsure, I must find someone I trust to support me.
He used to be the prime minister, but now he is naturally Feng Lianyin.
After all, the Prime Minister once said in a secret letter to himself before his death, "Feng Mingwen and Jiang Gongyan can handle important matters. Your Majesty has these two people, so you have nothing to worry about."
Now that he saw that the person leading the way to greet him was not Feng Mingwen, the little fat man felt anxious and naturally blurted out a question.
Someone in the car pulled the emperor's sleeve.
The little fat man realized that he had made a mistake and quickly corrected his expression:
"General Wei rises."
Wei Yan's face almost turned green, then he returned to normal slightly and stood up.
In the emperor's carriage, although the queen's face was a little confused like the emperor's, her eyes were a little more unclear:
It was agreed that Feng Mingwen and Wei Wenchang would greet him together, but now Wei Wenchang is the only one? Where is my brother-in-law?
However, Adou and his wife's doubts did not last long. Wei Yang just stood up when he heard someone shouting again:
"Chen Yong, please lead all the generals and officials in Guanzhong to greet Your Majesty."
The little fat man was overjoyed when he heard this and waved:
"Feng Qing, come quickly!"
When Wei Yan saw this, his old face twitched, and then he forcibly regained his composure.
After all, who knows about Feng Mingwen’s relationship with the royal family?
This time he forced himself to meet the emperor in front of Feng Mingwen. To put it bluntly, he wanted to lose Feng Mingwen's face and embarrass Feng Mingwen in front of everyone.
Anyway, among all the people present, he has the oldest qualifications, and at the same time, he also has the highest status in name.
Besides, looking at the big men, there are not many old ministers who can compare with him.
That's why he was sure that even if he went too far, the emperor would definitely give him some mercy, and there would be no serious consequences.
It's just that the reaction of the emperor in front of me seems to be a little unexpected twice in a row?
Aren't you a fool?
Why don't you act according to common sense?
The queen's eyes were much sharper than the fat emperor's.
She glanced at Feng Mingwen, who had dismounted from his horse and was approaching, and then glanced at Wei Yan, who had an unsightly look on his face, intentionally or unintentionally, and the unknown meaning in his eyes became even stronger.
"Chen Yong, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live forever and be happy forever!"
After hearing this, Wei Yan's mouth twitched again.
Clever words and charming words!
But the little fat man listened very well. He looked at his brother-in-law, smiled from ear to ear, and continued to wave:
"It's clear that there's no need to be polite, just come forward and talk."
The queen who did not show up coughed lightly in the car.
Adou was slightly startled, not knowing what he meant.
But I heard the queen's soft words, her voice like silk threads reaching my ears: "Your Majesty, General Wei..."
Um?
A Dou hasn't fully understood it yet.
"Your Majesty, when all the generals and officials are in front of you, it is best not to favor one over the other."
"Oh?" Only then did Adou react, his enthusiasm lessened by half, and he waved lazily to Wei Yan, "Old General Wei, please come and talk too."
Feng Mingwen and Wei Wen glanced at each other, snorted each other, and then separated a long distance in disgust and walked forward.
Adou originally just wanted to say something to Feng Mingwen in private, but now that Wei Wenchang was here, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing the two military generals standing in front of the car, the little fat man held it in for a long time before he said:
"Both of you are the pillars of the country. You have done a great job in expanding the territory of the country. Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Yan heard this sentence on his face, he smoothed his beard, his face looked serious, he bowed slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, you have given me the reward. This is just my duty."
Feng Junhou glanced at Wei Yan, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, following the late emperor's will, wishes to revive the Han Dynasty. I must do the work of dogs and horses. This is where loyalty lies and it is my duty to do so."
When the little fat man heard this, his eyes almost narrowed with joy, and he kept saying: "Okay, okay!"
When Wei Yan saw this scene, he was so angry that he almost pulled out his beard.
Even the queen couldn't help but smile, and then shook her head slightly.
Do you think that "the clever words and charming Feng Langjun" were obtained in vain?
Why do you have to stop this trend with him?
Feng Junhou did not give Wei Yan a chance to speak, so he took the opportunity to speak:
"Your Majesty, all the generals and officials in Guanzhong are waiting in front to greet them. Do you want to see them?"
You definitely need to meet, after all, this is a process.
Precisely because it was a process, the emperor certainly could not talk to everyone one by one. He could only have someone read out the decree in public.
Then the Northern and Southern armies, led by the brothers-in-law of Guan and Zhang, guarded the Emperor's chariot and marched towards Chang'an.
Thirty miles is a long journey or a short one.
When the emperor drove five miles away from Chang'an, the sun was almost setting on the mountain tops.
After Adou stayed one night at the residence arranged by Feng Junhou, he waited for the sun to rise the next day and continued to Chang'an.
At this time, at the gate of Chang'an City, soldiers were already lined up, with swords and halberds brightly lit.
Under the shining of the sun, the soldiers looked as if they were wearing golden scales, and they looked majestic.
Behind the soldiers, many common people stood, watching the emperor's chariot drive slowly into Chang'an City, escorted by elite soldiers.
At the gate of Chang'an City, there were many old gentry from Guanzhong standing, carrying bamboo baskets for rice, wine jars, bowls for soup, and so on.
"Congratulations to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for returning to the old capital!"
When the emperor's chariot came and passed the city gate, all the old country gentlemen leaned down and shouted.
Knowing that this was a deliberate arrangement, Adou couldn't help but feel agitated when he heard these words. He suddenly opened the curtain of the car and looked up to look at the old capital where the late emperor missed day and night.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, the old gentry in the village showed even more excitement.
Some old people even burst into tears and murmured:
"He's back, the emperor of the Han family is back..."
Adou couldn't control his emotions:
"People care about Han people, but the people's support can be used!"
Feng Junhou nodded quickly:
"What His Majesty said is that people care about the people, and the people's support can be used!"
Then when no one was paying attention, he cast an appreciative look at the old acting man:
Very good, your family can get at least 300 more pounds of brown sugar this year.
People’s hearts also cost money and food!
When Feng Junhou visited Guanzhong last year, an old farmer taught him:
Whoever divides the fields and takes care of the food will go with him.
When these village elders are full, it is definitely not just about being full. Food alone is not enough, they have to be fed sugar...
With the old man taking the lead, the sound was like waves on the sea, one after another, and everyone began to shout:
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has returned!"
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has returned!"
…
Some are sincere and mean, and of course, some are shouting numbly with complicated emotions.
Amidst the enthusiastic shouting of the elders in Guanzhong, which was as hot as June, even the queen could not sit still.
If a group of village elders come forward, it can be said to be a face-saving project.
But it would be different if the people who came to watch took the initiative to chant.
"Your Majesty, please change the car!"
Seeing that Adou's chubby face was flushed with excitement and his hand holding the car curtain was about to pull it down, Feng Junhou quickly suggested.
Not far ahead, there was a carriage ready, pulled by six pure white horses.
The wheels of the standing chariot are all decorated with red teeth and two hubs. The two hubs are governed by thin gold and a dragon is used to support the carriage. Wenhu and Shi are supported by Wenhu. The dragon's head is holding a yoke. The auspicious sun is on the left and right.
The so-called standing chariot means that the person riding on it must stand.
The charioteers were none other than General Guan and Zhao Sanqian.
"Okay, know me clearly, know me!"
Adou hurriedly got out of the car and walked a few steps. Just as he was about to get on the car, he noticed something was wrong behind him. He turned around and said hello:
"Why doesn't the queen get out of the car?"
Zhang Xingcai was stunned for a moment when he heard this:
"Can I change my concubine too?"
"Queen, don't you want to ride with me?"
Feng Junhou opened his mouth, but when he saw the excited child showing off a new toy, he wisely closed his mouth.
Forget it, my own house is full of chicken Si Chen, what qualifications do I have to take care of others!
Zhang Xingcai hesitated at first, but she glanced at Feng Junhou, who was nearest.
However, Feng Junhou had already turned his head away and looked around, seemingly not paying attention to what the emperor was saying.
"Queen, come quickly!"
The emperor was urging again.
Zhang Xingcai gritted his teeth, lifted up his skirt and got out of the car, and followed the emperor.
After the emperor and empress stood still, General Guan shook the reins lightly, and the six tall white horses obediently began to lift their hooves.
The cheers around him grew louder and louder, and someone began to sing:
"The harsh wind blows the frost and the grass withers, but the muscles are strong and strong, and the horses are proud. The Han family has three hundred thousand soldiers, and the general also leads Huo whoring and Yao..."
It is the "Han Daochang" that was widely circulated after the Han Dynasty regained Chang'an.
"Okay, okay!"
A Dou looked around and kept saying good things. In the end, his breathing became heavier and heavier.
He could only feel the blood in his chest surging, ready to burst out.
He also felt a breath rising from his tailbone, making him float into the air.
"His Majesty……"
The Queen's voice could be heard faintly in my ears.
He turned his head mechanically.
The queen's face was also flushed, and she held the emperor's sword with trembling hands and brought it to him.
The sword is decorated with gold, with an ermine cross, half mackerel scales, gold lacquer, an oriole chamber, and a five-color hidden chamber, showing nobility.
Adou took the sword, made a clanging sound, and stood up with the sword raised. After a while, he shouted hoarsely:
"Han Daochang!"
"Han Daochang!"
"Han Daochang!"
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!"
…
The continuous response is like a stormy wave crashing on a boulder, never ending.
The emperor's car drove through Chang'an Avenue until it entered the Weiyang Palace, and the cheers from behind were still endless.
Weiyang Palace belongs to the royal palace complex of the former Han Dynasty, and is one of the three palaces of the Han Dynasty along with Changle Palace and Jianzhang Palace.
It was formerly known as Zhangtai built during the period of King Qin Huiwen of the Qin Dynasty. It is the oldest palace in Chang'an City.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu made Chang'an his capital, temporarily settled in Changle Palace, and ordered Prime Minister Xiao He to preside over the design and construction of his own palace in the Han Dynasty.
Xiao He then spent two years building Weiyang Palace on the basis of Jian Zhangtai.
Later, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and the Gengshi Army invaded Chang'an and burned the Weiyang Palace.
Although Emperor Guangwu made Luoyang his capital, during the late Han dynasty, the emperor went west to Chang'an eleven times to worship his ancestors and search for their ancestors.
Emperor Guangwu alone did so as many as five times. It was under the instruction of Emperor Guangwu that the palaces in Xijing that were destroyed by war were restored.
Dong Zhuo took the emperor to move west to Chang'an, and the emperor visited Weiyang Palace again.
Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was later executed, triggering a fierce war in Chang'an City, and Weiyang Palace was severely damaged again.
When the puppet Wei usurped the Han, there must have been five capitals, and Chang'an was one of them.
In order to save face, both Cao Pi and Cao Rui ordered the ruins of palaces in the Han Dynasty to be cleared.
As the most important palace, Weiyang Palace was naturally the focus of cleaning.
Since Sima Yi took charge of Guanzhong affairs, Weiyang Palace can finally see its former majesty.
When Feng Junhou rebuilt the royal palace in Chang'an, it was also built on the basis of Weiyang Palace.
After the palace wall blocked the sound, before Adou could recover from the excitement, he was shocked again by the palace in front of him.
After a while, Adou finally realized what he was doing. He turned around and shouted:
"Clear text, clear text!"
Feng Junhou, who was specially assigned to accompany the emperor's carriage into Weiyang Palace, heard the call and trotted over: "Your Majesty?"
"Where is this?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, Weiyang Palace is also where Your Majesty will live."
When A Dou heard this, he couldn't believe it:
"really?"
"Absolutely true!"
After receiving the confirmation, Adou looked at the tall and continuous buildings again and exclaimed:
"A great talent! He was able to build such a majestic palace in just over a year!"
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I just repaired the old site of Weiyang Palace." Feng Junhou did not dare to take credit, so he quickly said modestly, "At most, it is just a few new palaces."
"That's awesome!" Adou couldn't bear to look away, "The prosperity of the Han Dynasty can be seen from this!"
Although there are palaces in both Jincheng and Nanzheng, Ji Han's manpower and material resources over the years have mainly been used to fight against thieves.
Even the emperor's small treasury was used to rebuild the Northern and Southern armies. How could there be any money left to carry out large-scale construction and build palaces?
Besides, the prime minister is frugal and pragmatic, and it is impossible for the emperor to waste money and food.
Therefore, the palaces in Shu are only spacious enough, but in terms of luxury, they are far out of reach.
How can it be compared with the palaces of the old capital that have been expanded for hundreds of years?
Even the queen looked shocked and said with a smile:
"With so many palaces, how many people must live in them? It's so luxurious!"
Feng Mingwen explained:
"Queen, don't worry. In fact, there are still many palaces in Weiyang Palace that have been abandoned, leaving only an empty shelf and uninhabitable. It's just that it can't be seen from a distance."
"The time I took over those abandoned palaces was too short, so I couldn't gather enough manpower to clean them all at once. I can only clean them slowly in the future."
The Queen nodded and agreed:
"It is clear that this move is right. Guanzhong has been in war for a long time and the land is sparsely populated. The priority should be to restore production. Since the emperor's residence has been built, there is no need to disturb the people too much."
"The queen understands the general situation and understands the people's hearts. She is truly a virtuous queen."
Hearing this, Zhang Xingcai glanced at Feng Mingwen again and couldn't help laughing:
"No wonder His Majesty always talks about you and wants to talk to you. Your words always make people feel happy in their hearts."
Feng Junhou coughed, a little embarrassed:
"I have received great kindness from Your Majesty and the Queen. I am truly terrified, truly terrified!"
My sister-in-law was really powerful. In just a few words, she could reveal information that the emperor valued very much, intentionally or unintentionally.
Not only did the ministers feel trusted by the emperor, but even the fat man listening next to him had a helpful expression on his face.
"Sister-in-law, brother-in-law!"
After entering the second palace gate, you can no longer drive and must take a chariot.
But when she saw the door of the palace ahead, Zhang Xingyi raised her hands and shouted, ran over and hugged her sister.
Zhang Xingcai also couldn't help but hugged his sister tightly.
"Are you okay? How have you been these past few years?"
The queen, who had always been calm and calm, showed her true feelings after the two separated. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhang Xingyi carefully and murmured:
"It has changed, it has changed too much!"
Zhang Xingyi smiled with tears in her eyes: "My sister has not changed!"
Zhang Xingcai's eyes couldn't stop streaming down her face. She wiped away her tears and said with both guilt and emotion:
"I've really worked hard on you these past years..."
Watching the two sisters reenacting their deep sisterly love, A Dou and Feng Junhou couldn't help but look at each other, and they both smiled helplessly.
After the two sisters cried and laughed, the queen suddenly called out in a serious tone: "Feng Mingwen!"
"I'm here."
"If you dare to betray Si Niang in the future, I will never forgive you!"
Feng Junhou believed that the queen definitely meant what she said. He was so frightened that he quickly replied:
"I don't dare, let alone won't."
"Then when are you planning to hold a big wedding?"
"ah?"
Feng Junhou was asked this question out of the blue, and was stunned on the spot. He subconsciously looked behind him. General Guan, who was acting as a temporary bodyguard, had an expressionless face.
Feng Junhou looked at the little fat man again.
The emperor was looking up to admire the architecture of Weiyang Palace, his eyes full of praise, and he didn't seem to notice what the queen was saying at all.
Little fat man, are you ready to become a son?
I've built so many houses for you, but you don't even want to say a word for me?
Believe it or not, I turned commercial housing into resettlement housing?
No matter how slanderous he was, Feng Junhou had to answer the queen's questions immediately, otherwise he would really die.
"This is naturally based on the wishes of the Fourth Mother and the Queen."
The queen then nodded with satisfaction.
"Of course, this matter is of great importance. I have to go home and discuss it with my wife."
Um?
Not to mention the Queen's glare, even the little fat man couldn't help but cast admiring glances.
Feng Junhou closed his eyes and lowered his head deeply.
Damn it, just die!
"snort!"
A cold snort came from behind.
Hearing the hum, the queen suddenly smiled:
"It's natural. Marrying a wife is an important matter, so you must discuss it with your family."
As she spoke, she turned back and said to General Guan with a smile:
"Tell me, Sister Guan?"
General Guan responded without fear:
"What the Queen is saying at this time is a family matter? Is it a state matter?"
"Outside the palace, it is a state matter. Now inside the palace, there are no outsiders, so it is naturally a family matter."
"If it's a family matter, it's natural for the two families to discuss it and come up with a result that satisfies both parties."
When it comes to state affairs, General Naguan won't say a word.
But if it's a family matter, then everything in the Feng family must be approved by her.
The head wife is so confident.
There are only widow-keepers in the Feng Mansion, not divorced wives!
