Chapter 259 The Kingdom of the Kingdom of Chang'an (2)
In the summer of the second year of Yuanchang, the Dayuan publicized the edict of amnesty to the world. All Dou clan members or other opposition forces who led their troops to surrender in Chang'an will no longer pursue the past, but will be amnesty. Send placement.So this year was spent in receiving all kinds of soldiers, big and small, who poured in like flowing water.

The emperor also fulfilled his promise, giving preferential treatment to the heroes of the world who came to surrender, lenient and benevolent, and arranged properly.

Almost every few days, the imperial court spread the decree of peace to post stations across the country, announcing to the world that the ten-year civil war had ended, so that the government promptly called on the people in exile or hiding in the mountains and forests to return to their hometowns to live and work in peace and contentment, and try to sow the last seeds before the grain of ear. types of grain.

At the beginning of Yuanchang and Yuan Dynasty, frost and drought were disasters, rice was expensive, Northern Liao invaded, prefectures and counties were in turmoil, internal and external troubles, a piece of silk only got a bucket of rice, even in Chang'an, Xijing, supplies were extremely scarce, people were exiled for thousands of miles, refugees There are many people who are sick and starved to death, the population is exiled, the war zone is empty, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. Expenses are cut in half.

In order to recuperate as much as possible, restore the operation of the state apparatus, heal the tragic war wounds of the past ten years, and declare that the world will be exempted from corvee and taxation for two years. The six states of Ru, Liang, Ding, Qing, Yu, and Rui, which have suffered particularly tragic wars, And the territory of Youzhou is exempted for three years. It is strictly forbidden for local officials to harass the people, embezzle and cheat, and control prices. Bazaar, every family match.

In order not to disturb the common people and the Xuanyuan Zong clan, the laws, decrees, forms, and forms of all prefectures and governments are ordered to follow the old system of Xuanyuan.

On the first day of July, the long-lost scientific research was resumed, and all the scholars in the world rushed to tell each other with joy, heralding the arrival of a prosperous, colorful and beautiful Dayuan Dynasty era.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the money systems were different. Some people once passed through the three states and needed three kinds of coins to pass the customs.On the first day of July in the second year of Yuanchang, the Yuanchang Tongbao coin was first issued, with a diameter of eight cents, weighing two baht and four ginseng, and ten coins weighing one or two.

The emperor ordered Ziwei Sheren, Jun Mo Wenzhuo, to write his article and book for Shizhong, which can be read back and forth.On the sixth day of the seventh month, the emperor set up money prisons in Luo, Bing, You, Yi and other prefectures. The queen's father Xingqing Wang Xuanyuanzhang gave a stove, Northern Jin Wang Feibai, Dongxian Wang Feiqing, and Ningkang County King Fengding each gave a stove. King Xiang bestowed a stove, and because Ziwei Sheren, Jun Mowen, has donated food and raised wages since he joined the new dynasty. He has done his best, and his loyalty is commendable.Since then, anyone who dares to steal and mint coins will be executed, and his family will be wiped out.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the emperor ordered Jun Mowen, a Ziweisheren who is inextricably linked to Dali, to go to Hezhou with a precious gift, and met with Dali Meng Jiuzan in secret.Legend has it that Emperor Liwu of Dali and Princess Yonglie also went there secretly. The two sides discussed for several days and nights about forming an alliance between the two countries and restoring the door to trade, and finally reached an agreement.On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, the food roads were first opened, the victims were relieved, the refugees were resettled, and then the tea ceremony and the silk road were opened, and then other commercial roads were gradually opened to restore the normal trade that the two great empires should have.

Because of the connection between the Jun family, the business between Dali and Dayuan went smoothly.On the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, Meng Jiuzan, the envoy of Dali, made his official mission to Dayuan for the first time, bringing numerous gifts to express the sincerity of Emperor Liwu of Dali.The emperor was still angry at the Nanzhao massacre of the city, and ordered him to kneel at the Meridian Gate. He sincerely repented and wept: Nanzhao had no way for the unrighteousness in the past. He wanted to destroy the Dali sage Wenwu Emperor. His Majesty wishes.Those who entered the city to cause chaos all died at the hands of Emperor Wenwu, and then went into exile in miasma. Now only me and Your Majesty survive, my wife and son are all original people.After all, tears streamed down my face.Sacred heart grieved, saved him from kneeling, and summoned him to the inner palace several times for secret talks. Although his face was barbarian, he was calm and wise. : "This is my family."

On the first day of August, the emperor named Chuhua, who was living in Dali, as Princess Anguo, making an exception and entered the original family tree. He named his eight-year-old son Meng Huashan the nominal king of Nanhua in the original dynasty, and gave him countless precious gifts.So far, the two countries have put aside their old enemies and become brothers and allies, and the Jun family's industry has once again recovered.

Duan Yuerong entrusted Mengzhao to send me a birthday present every year, a shiny and clean jade swallow hairpin—this is the first time he gave me jewelry.What I was thinking about was that he hoped that I could be a beautiful woman, but Feibai said indifferently: "'Let's crush the phoenix group to eliminate short dreams, and watch the swallows build a new nest[1]' I think Mrs. Chaozhu's resentment is hard to appease what."

Is Duan Yuerong mocking me?I thought to myself.

Mengzhao also handed over a small portrait of Xiyan copied by Duan Yuerong himself. The lotus root-like forearm of the painted Xiyan was holding a small windmill, sitting on the Qixi Golden Mastiff, grinning at me, Shen Yun’s smile is lifelike, and even Yuan Feibai has been observing his brushwork for a long time, studying his brushwork, and sincerely praised: “The painting style is handsome, and the colors are novel, it can be seen that there are decades of painting skills. portrait."

He sighed and walked out.

Meng Zhao took advantage of him to leave, and then conveyed: Your Majesty will send me a portrait of Xiyan every year in the future, so that I can know the appearance of Xiyan growing up.I was moved in my heart, and sincerely expressed to Feibai that I would like to give Duan Yuerong seven Chang'an famous "Lanzhu Hongxing" plants in return, let Duan Yuerong know that I am living a happy life now, and hope he can rest assured.

Feibai stared at me for a long time, and finally agreed with a relieved smile.

Even though this was our secret transmission, the emperor still knew about the small portrait of Xiyan, and specially invited me to bring this small portrait into the palace for him to see.The emperor looked at it for a long time, nodded and said: "This child is blessed and has a noble appearance."

The emperor also specifically asked me about Xiyan's birth date.Feibai told me that maybe the emperor ordered the concubine for the king of Hanzhong.Princess Xiyan is the crown princess of Dali, and she is considered the most noble candidate.I was shocked, the emperor's calculation was too good, now the king of Hanzhong will become the emperor's wife?It can be regarded as half of the Dali emperor.

But Xiyan pointed at the son-in-law after all. Fortunately, for some reason, the emperor didn't take any further measures later, but he also gave Xiyan a lot of gifts for children. Maybe he wanted to test the sincerity of Dali, a country of tigers and wolves, so We also forgot about it.

When I sent Meng Zhao away with Feiyan and his wife, I saw that he carried twice as many things as he brought. Of course, I entrusted him to bring some of them to Xiyan and the students.He sighed and said: "It's all a gift from the Dayuan sage to Huashan. The sage asked me to draw a picture for Huashan every year. I hope that Huashan will grow up and grow strong. I can serve as an envoy of Dali and visit him often. Chuhua said before. As an errand in Ziyuan, the Holy Majesty always secretly handed things to her, except that she has no title, everything else is like her own daughter, now Chuhua's name has finally entered the Yuan clan's genealogy, and the spirit in heaven is also comforted."

Our eyes are all red.

On the third day of August, the emperor secretly trusted his fourth son, Ashina Saruer, the Turkic Khan.Immediately afterwards, the Yumen Gate was opened and closed again, Turks and Middle Earth opened their doors to each other, and the century-old Silk Road was finally revived. With the help of Amir Yehu, the Jun family opened the first branch of the Western Regions in Gongyue City, and opened the silk tea business for the first time.The tea bricks invented by it are easy to be loaded and unloaded by countries in the Western Regions, convenient to transport, and easy to store. They are very popular among nomadic people and their business is booming day by day.

On the fourth day of August, Qi Fanghu, with a handsome face, came back from Dali again alone, and returned to Xifengyuan.Everyone didn't dare to say too much, knowing that he didn't persuade Bu Xiangning to go back, but who told the Holy One to give him a powerful wife?

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, a decree was issued from above, and the world is established. Redundant soldiers will be sent back to their homes and reunited with their families.

On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, Shang ordered Ziwei Sheren Jun's family to make iron pot molds, and issued an edict to the world on the same day. Veterans and common people should hand in the idle weapons at home. All those who pay will exchange iron pots according to the number, meaning to take the stove. Lighting a fire, living and working in peace and contentment, means the arrival of a peaceful era.All the people lined up in a long queue in exchange for the big iron pot on their backs, and went home happily.

The world is established, there are many red tapes, and there are hills of memorials at home and abroad waiting for the emperor to review every day. Everyone is worried that "the pressure is huge", and the emperor will inevitably need more "harem entertainment".King Dongxian and Princess Annian seized this opportunity to recruit beauties from all over the world and present them in the palace in order to flatter them. In the palace, all of them are graceful and graceful, beautiful and docile, like fish and wild goose, snow-skinned and beautiful, the emperor who has been shrewd all his life is also dazzled, and in his later years, he has many young and charming domestic pets, and the imperial concubine is inevitably left out in the cold.

The imperial concubine was very jealous, so she found an excuse to give all the beauties to death. The beauties in the palace were very afraid of it, and they often befriended the eldest sons, or fawned on the imperial concubine to strengthen themselves, but the empress was burdened by the old clan and had nothing to do. There are climbers.

Jinxiu often used the name of the King of Hanzhong to invite the Holy Majesty to feast for several days until dawn. If the courtiers were dissatisfied, they called the imperial concubine to deceive the Sacred Heart.

Therefore, in the second half of the second year of Yuanchang, all the princes in the court scrambled for refuge, and the "competition for noble girlfriends" unintentionally raised its head.The king of Jin knew that the emperor didn't like people competing for the throne, and he didn't like people forming a party, so he didn't serve his concubines.At that time, the Yellow River in Yibin broke its embankment, so in the name of building a stack on the Yellow River, he took his retainers and concubines away from the crown prince.The imperial concubine vented her anger, and ordered all the concubines and retainers to compete for the honor of the king of Hanzhong, but the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the king of Dongxian, and the king of Nanjia county were so many, the emperor didn't care much, and just laughed it off.

Notes:

[1] [Song] Zhou Bangyan's "Huanxisha·Water Rising Fish and Sky Shooting Willow Bridge" shows that it is difficult to get rid of the sorrow, so he must drink tea to relieve the confusion after his short dream, and watch the swallows build their nests leisurely, which is a metaphor for the author's thinking The sadness of time passing in vain and not being able to make a difference.
