Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 905 Chaos in Chang'an (1)

   Just as Fei Qian and the others were swearing in Pingyang again, there was some restlessness in Chang'an City.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and others didn't have any long-term plans. Even if they captured Chang'an, they did it in a hurry. In addition, they were greedy for pleasure, and they didn't have time to think about long-term plans. Let's sort out the people's livelihood and government affairs in Chang'an, so the situation in Chang'an is even more chaotic than that of Wang Yun or Dong Zhuo.

Because they have different affiliations, and there is no order among Xiliang soldiers, Dong Zhuo was able to suppress these guys when he was alive, but now he is doing his own thing, busy looting and collecting property for his own family. The people around Chang'an are simply suffering. unspeakable...

Li Jue and Guo Si originally promised to give Jia Xu treasures and goods, etc., after they attacked Chang'an, they seemed to have selectively forgotten about it, but Jia Xu didn't seem to care, and still wandered around in Chang'an city. He didn't take the initiative to ask Li Guo and others for property, nor did he seek official positions, but just wandered around with three or five guards.

In Chang'an City, all the imperial guards in the Weiyang Palace have been replaced by Xiliang soldiers. They stand on the palace wall laughing and laughing every day, without even a formal shape. They lean against the palace wall obliquely. What dynasty? His majesty is naturally needless to mention.

  Because Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are located on the east and west sides of Anmen Street in Chang’an City, they are also called East Palace and West Palace respectively. Among them, Weiyang Palace is the earliest palace complex of the royal family in the Han Dynasty, so the Han Dynasty Shangxi is respected.

There are three arterial roads in Weiyang Palace, two parallel east-west arterial roads run through the palace city, a north-south arterial road runs through it in the middle, and two east-west arterial roads divide Weiyang Palace into three parts: south, middle and north. area.

  The front hall is the most important main building of Weiyang Palace, located in the center of the whole palace, surrounded by other important buildings. On the north side of the front hall is Jiaofang Hall, where the queen lives; further north is the earliest national library in China - Tianlu Pavilion, and China's earliest national archives - Shiqu Pavilion; on the west side of the front hall are the central government offices, the The palace and other royal official offices; the southwest side of the front hall is the imperial palace pool garden area, with Cangchi and Jiantai.

There were more than forty halls in Weiyang Palace, but most of them were destroyed during Wang Mang's period. Later, Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Hanshun, Emperor Hanheng and many other emperors continued to repair it, and it was basically restored in sevens and eighties. In the palace, there are six hills and many pools, and there are nearly a hundred gates in the size of Zhuhua and Diaodong. There are also pavilions and roads connecting with Changle Palace, but they are also closed now.

  In the palace, the original Sanhuai government office of Wang Yun and others had been closed, only a wave of soldiers guarding the emperor remained, and the rest were replaced by Xiliang soldiers.

  These Xiliang soldiers had no sense of awe. Entering the palace was like a thief and a mouse entering a grain and grass nest. Even some gold and silver door knockers that were originally decorated on the rich gates were all stolen away...

As for the maids in the palace, when they saw Xiliang soldiers, it was as if they had encountered a plague. Except for the few who hid in the Xuande Hall where Liu Xie lived, the rest had to go out to work, basically hiding People were walking, and some even smeared themselves black with ashes from the bottom of the pot, and their clothes were even tattered and dirty, so as to avoid the invasion of Xiliang soldiers.

   Jia Xu seemed to have never seen these situations, and walked straight to the side hall of Weiyang Palace, and asked the soldiers to open the door of Xuande Hall.

  The main hall here is the residence of Han Emperor Liu Xie.

   "Your Majesty! See Doctor Guanglu, Jia Qiu!"

  The guards outside the gate of the palace reported loudly, but it didn’t actually have any effect, because now Han Emperor Liu Xie couldn’t decide whether he saw it or not…

   "I pay homage to Your Majesty." Jia Xu walked forward unsteadily and bowed.

   After being silent for a while, Liu Xie said slowly, "Pingshen."

   Liu Xie's voice was calm, revealing the kind of composure that this age does not have.

  Jia Xu stood up, then cupped his hands and said: "... General Yang Wu and General Yang Lie have made contributions to His Majesty. I would like to invite General Yang Wu to be the General of Chariots and General Yang Lie to be the General of the Rear... Your Majesty's permission..."

Chariot General, with a purple ribbon printed in gold, is only inferior to the Great General and the Hussar General, and above the General Wei and the Front, Back, Left, and Right Generals, he ranks higher than the Sangong, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the military ranks in the Han Dynasty .

Li Jue wanted the title of general, not only to satisfy his own vanity, but more importantly, he wanted to have at least an equal position with those of the Kanto gentry. A little bit too exaggerated, so I simply asked for a chariot general like Yuan Shao.

"..." Liu Xie is a young man after all. Although he has experienced a lot of things and has a calmer temper than the average young man, Jia Xu's words aroused his hidden anger, and he stared at Jia with a sullen face. Xu, without saying a word.

   Jia Xu was not in a hurry, and looked at Liu Xie quietly.

  Liu Xie endured his anger and said: "What is the merit of Li and Guo? Imprisoning the emperor, killing hundreds of officials, and messing up the capital are also credits?"

  Jia Xu nodded, and said: "How can it be in vain... If you don't do what Huo and Wang did, you will be meritorious..."

  Liu Xie glared at Jia Xu, his fingers clutched tightly inside the sleeves of his robe, his joints turned white.

   "...Good! You can draw up a decree..." In the end, Liu Xie let out a long breath, lowered his eyelids and said. Because he knew that he didn't have much choice in this kind of thing, Jia Xu's coming to him was more like a formality.

   "Your Majesty is wise, I will take my leave." Jia Xu nodded, cupped his hands, bowed, and was about to leave.

   "...Guan Qing is also a well-read man, why..." Liu Xie suddenly looked at Jia Xu and said.

  Jia Xu stopped in his tracks and said: "The scriptures written by the minister...hehe, they are different from the books His Majesty read..." Immediately there was no further explanation, and he cupped his hands again and walked out.

  Jia Xu walked a few steps, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the main hall, he suddenly stopped and said, "...Maybe there is something that His Majesty will be pleased with..."

  Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu blankly without asking.

   "..." Jia Xu glanced at Liu Xie, then smiled slightly, and said, "... Hongnong Yang Wenxian and Shangjun Fei Ziyuan swore to be masters in Pingyang, and they wanted to clear the king's side and save His Majesty from fire and water..."

  When Liu Xie heard this, joy immediately climbed up his face, but he quickly suppressed it forcibly, and then remained silent, because he had no idea why Jia Xu wanted to tell him this matter.

  Jia Xu didn't stop at all, and walked out of the hall.

  The door of the main hall closed again with a bang, leaving Liu Xie sitting silently on the throne, like a small statue enshrined in a temple...
