After the Turkic War, Du Xian returned to Chang'an with Xue Chongxun almost the same as being idle at home. Although he had the official title of General of the Left Wu Guard, this position originally had no military power and no war in peacetime, and basically had no official business.
He himself is a literati who regards himself as a gentleman and Confucian general. He usually doesn't like to go out for fun and becomes very homeless for a while.
Fortunately, there is good snow in Chang'an at the turn of spring and winter. Du Xian could see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda among the snowflakes in the distance when he sat in the pavilion in the backyard. The tall tower was like a wonder of an ice sculpture at this time, and it went straight into the sky. Appreciating this scene in the snow only made people feel open-minded and heroic.
So he placed a small mud stove in the pavilion and warmed the wine in the water. While enjoying the wonderful scenery under the snow and holding a pen to repair it on a painting on the hanging wall.
What a prosperous era in Chang'an. In the clouds and smoke, you can see pavilions, palaces, towers and towers in the distance as tall as the sky palace. Du Xian looked up and sang a few words. He was in a good mood and sincerely celebrated his birthday in this era, a powerful and dignified country.
A picture hanging on the wall turned out to be a wide empire. Du Xian stood in front of it, and a feeling of ruling the world and realizing the ambition in his heart. He opened his arms alone and gestured, as if he wanted to expand the picture again. The flowing robe danced in the wind and was full of ancient charm.
Although he has not yet been in power in the center, Du Xian has no doubt that his future will be as spacious as a sunny road.
He remembered a poem by Xue Chongxun and blurted out: To resolve the affairs of the king and win the reputation of his life...
Just then, a slave came to report: Alang, Mr. Zhang has arrived.As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud laugh: I will settle the affairs of the king and the world, Brother Du is so interested!
After a while, a scholar wearing a red robe and a squid came over with a smile. Mr. Zhang was the brother of the Minister of War Zhang Xiaozhen and the Western General Zhang Xiaosong.
Because Du Xian had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaosong when he was in the Western Regions, and now he has a good relationship with his younger brother Zhang Xiaozhen in the court.
I saw Zhang Xiaozhen wearing red clothes very conspicuous against the white snowy background, adding a hint of warmth to the elegant atmosphere.
Du Xian hurriedly greeted him. The two stood still and bowed to each other as if something was right.
After the ceremony, Zhang Xiaozhen smiled and said: Brother Du rarely has time. Recently, the new girl from both the East and West Hu Ji Restaurants have entered the East and West Husbands. Why not go out and have fun?
Du Xian smiled indifferently: I am still used to a few cups of light wine with a low heat.
Zhang Xiaozhen looked up and saw a plaque hanging above the pavilion, with the words "Still and Far" written on it, but there was a large picture below, with pens and ink on the small table, and the brush tips were wet, which seemed to be painting.
Zhang Xiaozhen walked up to watch with interest, and looked back at Du Xian: Brother, he is so handsome, he draws a map so imposing.
Du Xian said: I have been working almost half a month, and I will present it to you after it is completed.Today is a generation of enterprising kings, and they will definitely like this picture.
Zhang Xiaozhen smiled slightly, as if there was a mystery.Du Xianqing knew that this brother was resourceful, so he hurriedly asked: Why are you laughing? Could it be that my clumsy picture is ugly?
Painting is a good painting... Zhang Xiaozhen said, but Brother Du can offer it slowly, don’t be in a hurry.
Du Xian hurriedly asked Xuanxu, and Zhang Xiaozhen said: Brother Du has not heard of the "Cabinet"?
Du Xiandao: I heard that, what?
Zhang Xiaozhen said: In the past, if you enter the Political Affairs Hall, you would be a great minister and you could show your ambitions; but now, in my opinion, the fifth-rank official in the cabinet is actually the one who is truly worthy of progress.
After hearing this, Du Xian pondered thoughtfully, and Zhang Xiaozhen laughed: Those fifth-rank officials are not that easy to be. Now the three bachelors, look at who they are.Brother Du followed the battles of the south and north for several years, and was full of poetry and books. Why should I go to the seven positions in the Political Affairs Hall with such a background?That's all, think about whether I'm right.
Zhang Xiaozhen made several plans for Du Xian, and later proved that this person has extraordinary insights. Most of the time, Du Xian also attached additional importance to his views this time.
By the way, there is another thing to visit Brother Du today.
Zhang Xiaozhen reiterated and said that his brother (Zhang Xiaosong) was still leading troops in Anxi, with only more than 4,000 soldiers under his command, and the situation was not optimistic.I thought of a method for him, but it was not convenient to write a book by myself. Besides, I don’t have the same person as me in my eyes, so writing a book may not be taken seriously.So I want to ask Brother Du to help me and tell me the matter up to date.
No problem, it is natural to have something I can do.Before Du Xian asked what was going on, he agreed readily.
……
Xue Chongxun had just ascended the throne and became emperor, but he showed that he was more diligent. He had to meet ministers in Zichen Hall almost every day, listen carefully to everyone's suggestions and follow his advice and be fully prepared.
Moreover, with genuine monarchy, the procedures for approving memorials and various decrees are simple, and the central operation is efficient.
Under such circumstances, it would be easy for Du Xian to enter the palace to say something for the Zhang family. The next day, he went directly to meet Xue Chongxun in person in Zichen Palace.
What Du Xian said was that the court used the method of enfeoffing the title of the leader of the Turkic tribe, such as to win over the tribe, to prevent the expansion of the Arab power from eastward.
Although the Central Plains dynasty included the entire Western Regions into its sphere of influence and built fortresses locally, the only strongholds that the Han soldiers really relied on, and the large areas were still active in the tribes of the Western Regions vassal states.
Zhang Xiaozhen, the Minister of War, believed that winning over the Turkic Shi tribe could play the greatest role.
In addition to promising titles, fame and fortune, there is another thing: to make a move with righteousness and affection. Zhang Xiaozhen wanted Xue Chongxun's imperial concubine, Turkic princess Ashinazhuo, to write a sincere letter to the leader of the Turkic Shi, to persuade the surrender.
Originally, I thought this was difficult to express. After all, the minister did not have the power to ask the harem to do anything. Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun really agreed with the attitude of following advice and asked Wang Changling to write a letter in the tone of Ashinazhuo, and then gave it to Ashinazhuo for copying. After all, everyone did not think that the Turkic princess had the ability to consider and use appropriate words.
But the letter must be written by Asina Zhuo, because it is said that some people from the Turkic Shi tribe had seen Turkic princesses in Heisha City before, and they had a period of contact. If it were not written by the princess, it would be a big deal about the country if it was discovered by the Turkic Shi people, which would make the court unsincere.
At dusk, Xue Chongxun returned to Penglai Palace and asked the eunuchs to call Ashinazhuo to see him.
While waiting, he came to a tower north of Penglai Hall. The half-open Qiongtai was like a modern balcony in Xue Chongxun's eyes.
He walked to the balcony and was suddenly attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him. It was a while since he moved into the Daming Palace, and today he noticed that the scenery here is so stunning.
The most conspicuous thing in front is Taiye Pond. I saw the white steam on the lake with snowflakes flying, just like the clouds of the Immortal Palace in the sky. The palaces on the islands in Taiye Pond are looming in the clouds and smoke. The upturned buildings decorated with the trench have the unique oriental classical charm. On the banks of Taiye Pond are large palace buildings, which are staggered and dignified and atmospheric.
Xue Chongxun looked down and saw a group of fairy-like palace women walking gracefully through the long street with palace lanterns. The long moon-white skirt made their figures slender and upright. At least on the surface, the people here all lived a decent and happy life, and everything was beautiful.
The central hub of power of the empire was originally a place full of struggles and power, but this palace was so full of mountains and rivers, as if it was not involved in the fireworks of the world. The name of Penglai Palace refers to the Immortal Palace, indeed, it is not a false reputation.
After a while, Ashinazhuo, wearing a dress, came. She crossed the threshold and bent her knees slightly, and saluted like a Han lady: Your Majesty.
Perhaps it was because of the rituals here that Ashinazhuo became dignified and graceful when he entered the countryside, but he had less wild vitality on the grassland.
Her dress was no different from that in the Tang Dynasty. The women in the Daming Palace also did not change their living habits because of the name of the country was changed to Jin. Sometimes Xue Chongxun felt that he was still living in the Tang Dynasty.
After all, the new dynasty was established on the basis of the intact society of the Tang Dynasty, not breaking all newly built dynasties in troubled times. Just like Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor and established Zhou, what is the difference between its etiquette and customs and the Tang Dynasty?
Xue Chongxun pointed at Taiyechi and turned around and said: Is the scenery here beautiful?
Ashinazhuo finally revealed his nature. With his pretended behavior, his expression betrayed her. She accidentally showed a not very calm and solemn expression: When I first entered the palace and saw everything here, I was like a dream!How can there be such a place in the world? How do so many people live here? Do you dress up and go to banquets and play chess every day? Zhongyuan is really rich...
Our Jin Dynasty has a population of tens of millions and has ruled over 16 roads and over 300 states. It is not counted as many of the Protectorate and Restricted Prefectures outside the pass. The Daming Palace is just a glimpse of the secrets.
Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say proudly, and then said, so this is the center of civilization and the place where people dream, and only we can give the world prosperity and prosperity.Without the moral, benevolence, righteousness, rules and laws of the Central Plains, people at this time could only live in a humble and numb manner like ants.We far surpass the Western food. If they were allowed to enter the Western Regions and other places, there would be no morality. People would be burned to death without reason. Even the Turks under Mochu Khan's rule were full of barbarism and cruelty. How could they compare with the Great Jin Dynasty?Surrendering to the court is the way of Mingguang.
Ashinazhuo looked at him in admiration, without even thinking too much for a moment, and the world of heaven on earth appeared in his mind, just like the Daming Palace in front of him.
Perhaps such a magnificent spectacle had a great impact on her senses. When she first arrived here, she could simply give up her previous realistic experience and regain her distant dream.
But even in the capital Chang'an and Daming Palace, does everything have morality...
He himself is a literati who regards himself as a gentleman and Confucian general. He usually doesn't like to go out for fun and becomes very homeless for a while.
Fortunately, there is good snow in Chang'an at the turn of spring and winter. Du Xian could see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda among the snowflakes in the distance when he sat in the pavilion in the backyard.
