Long Hao calculated that he had been an emperor in this world for more than three years. Last year, he had to go to see the Wanhua Club and met Zhao Jiande treason halfway through. This year he went to conquer the Nandi Kingdom and missed another term. He hoped that the country would be prosperous and the people would be safe next year, so that he would have the opportunity to really go to the Wanhua Club.
I heard that the Wanhua Festival in Yunzhou in early summer can attract countless beauties in Jiangnan to participate. At that time, a Wanhua Saint will be selected to contribute tribute to the flower god Wanhua Niang, who has been worshipped by Jiangnan for many years, and pray to her to protect the people of Jiangnan for good weather and live and work in peace and prosperity.
Several times, the Wanhua Festival is held every year. The so-called Wanhua Festival is a false meaning, but it has a dual meaning. One means that within the ten days of the Wanhua Festival, Yunzhou City was full of flowers, all of which are always blooming in all seasons, with colorful flowers, and beautiful: the second meaning is that all the beauties in Jiangnan must gather there to run for the Saint of Wanhua. Once elected as the Saint of Wanhua, they can not only receive generous rewards, but also receive the blessing of the Niang Hua. Of course, this is a superstitious statement, but most people in this era believe that there are gods in the world.
Long Hao secretly made up his mind that he would definitely go to see the fun of Wanhua Conference next year. There are so many beauties, and by the way, he can enjoy it.
But now there are still eight or nine months left before the Wanhua Club, and Long Hao is not in a hurry to prepare to go to Jiangnan again. He just took advantage of this period to consolidate his territory, especially the newly built Dragon Factory spy organization this year. After the initial construction, it has been very effective and made great contributions in the southern expedition to eliminate the rebellion. Much of the intelligence was sent by Zhang Xiong, deputy governor of the Dragon Factory, and Tong Rui, his capable general. The role of the hidden front cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Long Hao decided to expand the scale of the Dragon Factory from the existing ten groups of 100 people to 500 people to 500 people, and ten groups set up a brigade to increase training efforts, and secretly sent a brigade to sneak into Tianyue Kingdom to collect intelligence.
After handling government affairs every day, Long Hao practices martial arts and accompanys women. The newly acquired Qin Fang and Chen Jinhuan cannot enter the palace due to their identity problems. They happened to be arranged to be in Fangyazhai where Aunt Yu lives, and there are three mature women in a play. Long Hao often meets them through secret passages, and there is endless fun.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn weather was clear and the weather was good for formal hunting, so Long Hao decided to organize a hunting event.
So he ordered Chang Xi, the Imperial Guardian of the Palace, and Mu Kai, the Imperial Guardian, to go to the suburbs of the city to prepare immediately, and he would go out to hunt in the afternoon.
What preparations should the emperor do when hunting?Actually it's very troublesome.
First of all, you need to prepare some hunting tools and send a powerful guard team.
Secondly, we must send people to the suburbs of the city to collect points in advance to check how many prey there are and whether there are particularly ferocious beasts. For example, beasts like tigers and bears are generally not asked to be shot by the emperor. It is more dangerous, especially bears. The skin is very hard and ordinary bows and arrows cannot hurt it. Unless they are specially used to hunt bears, they are difficult to deal with.
Generally, when the emperor hunts, he only kills some preys that are not dangerous, such as deer, wild boar, wild sheep, pheasant, bird, etc., but in advance, people must be sent to the suburbs of the city to inspect and see these beasts and birds there to avoid the emperor being unable to catch anything when he comes out to hunt: in the end, he will send a large group of people to circle the areas with beasts in the dense forests of the city, and wait for the emperor to come and hunt.
These tasks must be completed within an hour at the fastest time, so Long Hao has been sitting in the Ganqing Palace and waiting for fragrant tea.I don’t know how long it took, but Chang Xi came to report that he was ready.
Long Hao was immediately excited. Several eunuchs were serving in military uniforms, with golden helmets, golden armor, yellow embroidered dragon cloaks, big horse boots, long swords hanging on their waists, and treasure bows and iron arrows on their backs. They were majestic and majestic.
He rode on Long Hao's favorite sweat-blooded horse, and ordered two thousand guards of the Imperial Guards, set out from the main gate of the palace, headed straight to the eastern suburbs of the capital, and arrived at the designated hunting site. It was a dense forest ten miles away from the eastern suburbs of the Imperial Guards. There were already three thousand imperial guards surrounding the forest.
Long Hao rode his horse into the forest and searched for prey everywhere. After walking for a while, Chang Xi's eyes were sharp-eyed. He pointed to the east: Master, look, there is a wild boar over there!
Long Hao looked along his pointing gaze and saw that behind a tree ten feet away there was indeed a wild boar. It was pitch black and fat, with big eyes shining with yellow light, white nose spraying with heat, and a big mouth kept urging the tender grass on the ground.
Long Hao was immediately excited and drove the horse to find an excellent position. He took off the treasure bow from behind, drew the arrow, drew the angle, and let go of the arrow and shot the wild boar. It was as fast as lightning. It hit the wild boar's abdomen. Blood suddenly squirted wildly. The wild boar screamed in pain and turned around and ran towards Long Hao.
Long Hao then fired two arrows in a row, because the distance was close and the target was large, so the accuracy was very high. The two arrows shot into the front of the boar with one arrow and the head of the other. The two arrows shot into the deadly parts. The wild boar immediately fell to the ground and died.
The eunuchs and soldiers who were accompanying applauded and applauded. Two soldiers rushed over and carried the boar's body away and put it in a big pocket. It seemed that Long Hao was lucky today. The first prey to shoot was a fat boar.
Long Hao was happy and rode his horse to search for prey. After a while, he found a hare. Although it was a small animal, it was considered a prey at least. It was better to have hunting than not.
This time, Long Hao deliberately showed his hidden weapon skills. Instead of using a bow and arrow, he shook his hand and threw out the darts, hitting the rabbit's lower abdomen, and immediately nailed it firmly to the grass.
Long Hao laughed loudly. It seemed that his hidden weapon skills have also improved greatly. He hits every shot wherever he points.
In this way, he hunted in the forest until dusk, killing three wild boars, five goats, eleven pheasants, twenty hares, and five pigeons.
After playing for an afternoon, Long Hao returned to the palace with his entourage and guards, and ordered the imperial chef to make a few dishes for the prey he had beaten today.
After a while, the steaming imperial meal was delivered to the Ganqing Palace where Long Hao lived, including braised wild boar, roasted whole lamb, crispy pheasant, fried rabbit legs and roasted pigeon. They were all fragrant but not greasy, fresh but not salty, and very delicious.
After dinner, Long Hao considered which concubine to go to bed at night, or simply asked a few more concubines to play the game of hiding from the dragon.
Long Hao favored many concubines. After sowing and dew during this period, Hua Yexiang and Youlan have become pregnant. As the emperor, the issue of inheritance of descendants is crucial. Naturally, he hopes that these two concubines will have a boy and be named the crown prince in the future and as the crown prince, so that his country will be more stable.
Of course, Long Hao still hopes that he can live for a hundred years or live forever!
He hadn't figured out where to stay tonight, so he walked out of the imperial study room and wandered around the palace. He came from his feelings and lived there whenever he was tired.
This palace is so big that Long Hao has lived in it for more than a year and hasn't been to it. If he has a poor memory, he will have to get lost after walking in the palace for a while.
As a result, I wandered around a lot, walked around, and became more and more deviant.
People are curious and the more they have never been to, the more they want to go.
Therefore, Long Hao didn't care how biased it was, and looked at the changing scenery around him, pavilions, towers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, especially at night, it looked even more charming under the reflection of stars and moonlight.
Before I knew it, it was almost an hour before I could walk around. Long Hao thought it was time to go back and asked a few more concubines to bed with him tonight. Hehe, it was so good.
Suddenly, a gentle sound of the pipa sounded, melodious and pleasant, with a deep throat, sad and choked, and this sound seemed like "the spring flowed under the ice", giving people a cold, sad and sad feeling.
Long Hao felt his heart tremble when he heard this, and he thought to himself, who played such a sad and beautiful tone in such a deep palace?
I couldn't help but think of a famous line from Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing": The strings are covered with thoughts, which seem to tell you that you have not been successful in your life.He kept playing the letter of low eyebrows and told him everything he had in his heart.
He became curious and couldn't help but walk over with the sound of the pipa.
It was a small palace with a very remote location, commonly known as the cold palace. Of course, the cold palace is not cold, it is just that the people living there were cold treatments. No wonder such a desolate song played!
Generally, in the palace, the cold palace is a place where the concubines who have lost favor or were deposed. As long as the mistake is not big and the family has not collapsed, they can generally live in a relatively beautiful palace. Otherwise, they will be directly abolished as a civilian and locked up in a dark little house, which is no different from prisoners. This is the cruelty of the palace struggle.
Long Hao walked in. A middle-aged palace maid in her forties sat in the small courtyard in front of the palace. When she saw the emperor coming, she was so scared that she was a little overwhelmed and thought it was a dream?
How did the emperor come back to such a remote cold palace?
The palace maid was stunned for a moment and immediately knelt down and saluted Long Hao.
Long Hao waved his hand and smiled: Who is living in this palace?
Back to the emperor, it is Empress Wan.The palace maid replied timidly.
Concubine Wan?
Long Hao's mind circled and suddenly found information about this Concubine Wan from his memory.
Speaking of which, she and Long Hao are still close relatives. Concubine Wan is the current Empress Dowager's sister, named Wanyi. She married the late Emperor Wuzong with her sister, Long Hao's mother, Empress Dowager Shude.
From Long Hao, Concubine Wan is both his mother and his aunt, and the relationship is a bit messy.
Although Concubine Wan and Empress Dowager Shude are both sisters, they took completely different paths. The emperor's favorite was Concubine Shu, otherwise Long Hao would not have been able to register successfully.
At first, Empress Wanyi was okay, but later gradually fell out of favor. She was jealous and had a disagreement with her sister Shufei, and her sister turned against each other. As a result, Concubine Wan was inscribed into the harem and did not say that she had her title deposed. But in fact, she no longer had any power or capital. She lived alone in the harem all day long, and the misery in her heart can be imagined.
Long Hao stood at the gate of the palace, thinking about whether to see this aunt and mother, when he suddenly heard the door open, a delicate voice sounded: A Ju, who are you talking to?
I heard that the Wanhua Festival in Yunzhou in early summer can attract countless beauties in Jiangnan to participate. At that time, a Wanhua Saint will be selected to contribute tribute to the flower god Wanhua Niang, who has been worshipped by Jiangnan for many years, and pray to her to protect the people of Jiangnan for good weather and live and work in peace and prosperity.
