The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

As the saying goes, people are poor and short-sighted, and the strength of the little king proves that this is indeed the truth.

For example, right now, because he is poor, when he stands in front of the Lang Guan sent by the big man, he still has to play a small calculation in his heart, hoping that the other party will take less.

However, as soon as the smiling Lang Guan saw the grain and grass prepared by Zhongshan Kingdom, he immediately asked people to evacuate them all.Not to mention empty space, but also complaining to the little king about the hardships of life and the hardships of the border. They want to rebuild from scratch, thinking about it for a long time, the main idea is-can you add some cement to add more?

The little king was stunned. He looked at the man's face hesitantly, then at the soldiers behind him who were carrying goods, and then looked down at the seal on the order.

That's right, this person is Wang Xin...the elder brother of Queen Wang, the No. 1 foreign relative of the Wang family, is he like this?

The history books are really unbelievable!

Wang Xin has a simple and honest face, not at all like the person who bargained just now, but Xia Anran doesn't believe him. Thinking carefully, this person is obviously a foreign relative, but in the end he didn't stumble in the liquidation. Although he is not a rich man Expensive, but safe for a lifetime.

This kind of sense of proportion and advance and retreat used to be considered good luck, but now that I think about it, it is not good. Anyway, Xia Anran will not underestimate these cunning old foxes at all.

As everyone knows, Wang Xinxin is also suffering. He is the elder brother of Queen Wang, but Queen Wang's mother's family has two families, because her mother Zang'er has a second marriage, the first marriage is from the old Wang family, and the second marriage is from the Tian family.

Several members of the Wang family are quite honest because of their hard life.Tian Fu, the younger brother of the Tian family, is much more agile, with a bunch of tricks in his head.

But generally speaking, if you want to recognize the queen's mother clan, you still agree with the surname, so Wang Xin was often approached by people after the queen ascended the throne.

Of course, the purpose of these people's visits is very clear, isn't it because they want Wang Xin to make connections with them?With a timid face, Wang Xin refused a lot.

Later, because Tian Fu suddenly emerged, and because Tian Fu was young, he had a relatively good relationship with the Queen, so he distracted a lot of attention.He was breathing a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect the Emperor to give him such an errand.

The matter of grain transportation officer, at a small level, even a small soldier can afford it, but at a high level, it must be done by a confidant.When Wang Xin received the order, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Crying that I am so low-key and still being targeted by the emperor, laughing at myself that this is gold that will shine no matter how deep it is hidden.But it's an errand, he really doesn't want to take it.

Who is King Zhongshan?Who is King Zhao?The mothers of these two vassal kings were both Mrs. Jia.

Who is Mrs. Jia?If others don't know, can he not know?

Mrs. Jia's ancestral home is Luoyang, and she is of the same family as Jia Yi, a young talent in the late emperor's time.Not many people know about this matter, but it's not too small, but Mrs. Jia has always kept a low profile and never talked about it.

Just because of this, Mrs. Jia should not be underestimated, after all, there is a family background and a teacher.

Jia Yi studied under Zhang Cang, the prime minister of the former emperor. Who is Zhang Cang?Zhang Cang was a student of Xunzi, the same school as Li Si and Han Fei, and his father was Zhang Yi, a political strategist.

Jia Yi was his student, who was brilliant but died young. Whether it was Zhang Wengong or the first emperor, it was inevitable that Jia's family would be blessed.

Wang Xin didn't see this Mrs. Jia many times, but after listening to his sister's story, he felt that this Mrs. Jia had a clear mind, she knew exactly what she wanted and didn't want, and her positional relationship with Her Majesty was just right. , is by no means a simple person.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't be the only wife in the harem who is only inferior to the queen. Even if her younger sister is spoiled like that, wouldn't she be a beauty before being named queen?

And can this child brought up by Mrs. Jia be an ordinary person?

Wang Xin smiled, but all kinds of thoughts kept turning in his belly.He also has some connections in the palace, especially because he is better at paying attention to details and analyzing details than others.

It may be because of his appearance that other people don't pay much attention to him when he talks, so Wang Xin also got a lot of information unintentionally.

One is extremely important.

His Majesty once granted a privilege to the ninth son of the emperor when he was in the vassal, that is, letters could be sent through special channels, and this privilege was to monitor his studies at that time, but the ninth son of the emperor has completed his studies now, and this way still exists.

A few days ago, His Majesty also specifically said that the letter of the Ninth Prince does not need to go through the internal trial, but can be delivered directly.Such an honor is unprecedented.

Could it be that the letter from the father and son only said some short greetings from the parents and nothing else?

Also, last year many princes pointed to marriage, only the ninth prince did not marry.Is it true that what my sister said was caused by her admonishment in front of His Majesty?

If he had only had some doubts in his heart before, after this experience, he will fully confirm it.

Zhongshan was able to govern from scratch to what it is today, who relied on it?Could it be the merit of Zhidu?Don't make trouble, Zhidu relies on a butcher's knife, and the Qingming of officials opened up with a butcher's knife is by no means the current freehand atmosphere.

He still believes that it is Han Ying, but Han Ying is here as the censor, and he is in charge of the law and does not care about the people's livelihood, so either this little highness has other capable people around him, or he himself is the censor. That able man.

Now it's just a one-time relationship, Wang Xin can guess the truth eighty-nine times.

Trouble.

He thought to himself.

It would be fine if King Zhongshan was a fool, but looking at him now, he is definitely a man with a smart heart and is extremely favored.So he really didn't understand. His Majesty also liked the Jiu'er very much, and His Highness the Ninth Prince was indeed capable, so why didn't he make him the crown prince, but chose his tenth prince who was still young at that time?

It doesn't necessarily mean that His Majesty is worried about the Ninth Prince and a brother from the same mother, right?This matter is troublesome and troublesome, but it is not really difficult to operate.

Your Highness has no desire to fight for the world now, and the future may not be certain.The crown prince has already decided that there will be no chaos in one day, and after the end of the thousand years...you must go back and talk to your sister. In the future, you must not embarrass Mrs. Jia, let alone torture others.

For this kind of thing, I am afraid that there will be an excuse of "revenge for the mother".

Even if Wang Xin scratched his head, what he probably couldn't think of was that Emperor Jing couldn't do anything about it, and his son didn't want to share his worries with Lao Tzu.Moreover, he found out after many pulses that this son's character was indeed not suitable for being an emperor. If he was a conservative king, he could not force himself to be a ruler, but what the big man wanted now was not just conservative, so he had no choice but to give up.

It just so happened that Liu Che was indeed the material, so Liu Qicai had to turn around and work hard to train Liu Che, who was still a little bit old at the time, and he also took a great risk.

Xia Anran had no idea about the tossing and turning thoughts in his stomach. He forced a smile and cried again, saying that there was really nothing left. Zhongshan Kingdom welcomed a large number of guests just after the Chinese New Year. The news from the old father came too suddenly. All are consumed!

Wang Xin narrowed his eyes, expressing doubts.

So Xia An took a step back and let Da Sinong go up. Da Sinong took a deep breath, fell to the ground with a plop, rolled around, and cried like a 200-jin baby.

The Da Si Nong of Zhongshan Kingdom is a strong man, and the level of damage that such a person throws in front of him is definitely not one point or two points.Wang Xin's expression changed immediately, he endured it, endured it again, and when he saw the strong man peeking at him from between his rough fingers, he still couldn't hold back, and turned his head away.

It hurts the eyes.

Da Sinong squinted his eyes and cried poorly while riding the hot iron. Wang Xin had no choice but to admit the matter and express his understanding.

In fact, Zhongshan has already given a lot, and the two sides have also signed a continuous supply agreement.Cough, if you can ask for more, of course he won't refuse.After all, I don't know what's going on in the place I'm going to, whether it's a war, I can always be prepared if I can have more food.

He also saw that the little king must have a tender face when he was young, and he was embarrassed to refuse. The previous trick was effective, and the first few vassal kings had to miss some more when he was crying and poor. It's a pity that the little king is really thick-skinned Not enough, but he is not shameless enough to let someone else do it.

The chief sinong of Zhongshan country is really a naked miser, even Xia Anran has a hard time getting money from him, and he doesn't know where he got them all.This person has long been envious of seeing the increasing income of the Zhongshan State Shaofu. The official transfer of grain will naturally go to the warehouse of the Dasinong.

In fact, this person was sent by Zhidu just in case. The amount of food and grass sponsored by the little king is already a very dangerous figure in Zhidu's eyes. Zhidu is afraid that he will miss the offensive of the old fox end.

The relationship between the vassal state and the central government is delicate, with mutual dependence and a bit of opposition, even in the relationship between father and son.If it shows that you are too rich, it will be a bit conspicuous.

Zhi is all sent by the central government, but in the final analysis, he is also the prime minister of a country, and he still stands on a professional standpoint before there is an explicit order from the top.And as far as his selfishness is concerned, Zhongshan Kingdom is a vassal state brought out by him, so it is inevitable to be biased.

Liu Sheng counted a considerable amount of food and grass at the beginning, and he was full of sincerity. He thought it was Xia Anran's sincerity, so he naturally felt that His Highness could not bear the Beijing officials crying for poverty and softened again.

But in fact?

It's not because that place is where Dou Wan joins the army.

Xia Anran knew that riches and honors come in danger, and also knew that Dou Wan went there on purpose to wait for a war.The Han Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and he thought he could only use military merits, but when this day really came, it was inevitable that he would feel flustered in his heart.

In fact, Liu Qi didn't write what the army did in the letter, but Xia Anran knew that something happened in Yandi at a guess, but his status was limited, even if he was worried, he couldn't send someone to investigate, so he could only send logistics The method is a little more at ease.

At night, Xia Anran, who was quite disappointed, hugged Duoduo's furry body.Most of the swans are not likely to go ashore when they are resting in the water. They are swimming birds, and their speed is the fastest only in the water, and it is even more dangerous to go ashore.But Duoduo is a bold bird with high skills. After "driving away" Changchangmao, in order to consolidate the victory, Duoduo has been sticking to his father very tightly recently.

Night is the home of cats, and the catkins have long hair and enough heat, so they are especially welcomed by Xia Anran in winter.After realizing this, Duoduo deliberately exposed the fur of his abdomen for Xia Anran to masturbate.

The feathers on the abdomen of waterfowl are the softest and densest. This is where they spend the longest time in close contact with the water. If the feathers are not thick enough, the cold water will quickly take away the body surface temperature, and swans can deliberately increase the temperature here. Hatch eggs.But before, Xia Anran thought it was the ability of a female goose, but she didn't expect Duoduo to be a male goose.

Xia Anran's five fingers turned into claws, rubbing the warm and soft belly of Duoduo goose. He is lying on the couch now, and Duoduo is lying beside him.

There is no bed in the Western Han Dynasty, but as a little king who can roam freely in his own territory, he still has people make a bed.Because of the design of the kang, the people of Zhongshan are well adapted to the raised beds.But the main reason why Xia Anran likes the bed is that it can effectively avoid contact with the wet ground... Also, it can avoid contact with bugs.

That's right, living in a city surrounded by forests, and the result of having a yard, a pond, and lush greenery in the house is that there will inevitably be bugs in the room.

It's winter now, but in summer, for the sake of ventilation, there will always be some strange little animals in the little king's bedroom.That's all for the little bug, once Xia Anran opened his eyes in the middle of the night and faced a snake's head.

For cold-blooded animals, a cool indoor environment is most welcome in summer.Xia Anran's hearing is good, but the snake entered during the day, and he didn't know where it was entrenched, and it didn't move, of course he didn't notice it.

This shock frightened him quite a lot, Xia Anran is not afraid of snakes, sometimes he would sigh a few words when he sees a particularly beautiful one, but his preferences are definitely at the exaggerated level of Ye Gonghaolong, except at the dining table In fact, he didn't want to have close contact with the snake.

Later, the little king asked someone to make a wooden bed. In order to prevent such a situation from happening again, an anti-snake baffle was added to the bed stool.But later, because Changchangmao encloses its territory here, as a cat family that has greatly damaged the ecological chain, Changchangmao has not let down its combat effectiveness and destructiveness at all, and the number of animals in this area has dropped sharply.The earliest role of the bed has been downplayed, and it has become a guarantee for a comfortable sleep.

Duoduo is somewhat dissatisfied with this bed that requires it to flap its wings twice to get on the bed, but a few times, it immediately started screaming after being hugged by the owner.

Going up by yourself and being invited by others are completely different treatment, and the four-legged one doesn't have this kind of treatment.

After all, their status is different, Duoduo can be proud.It is a goose, and my father said that a goose is a son.

Four-legged ones are just pets.

Since the four-legged beast is their pet, it is also its pet!

For example, now, as a goose, he can share his father's worries. Can pets be okay?

Duoduo straightened up. It stood on the bed and spread its wings on the flat ground, and then began to hula hula. This action was not done for no reason, but to convey some meaning to him, Xia Anran was slightly taken aback.

Then, his eyes opened wider and wider, incredible.

----------------

The Zhongshan country in the south will be covered with light snow, and the Yuyang County in the north is already completely plain. The howling north wind engulfs the snowflakes and falls, hitting people's faces with pain.

If possible in this season, people definitely don't want to go out, but if they don't go out every day to clean the snow at the door, and then clean the snow layer on the roof, they may face the danger of not being able to open the door or the house will collapse directly.

That's why the men in the Northland have to walk around the streets with big brooms made of sorghum when they wake up. They not only have to clean their own homes, but also clean the roads.

Shangfeng said that as long as there is no snow more than two palms thick in the daytime on this road, his civil service will be considered completed.

Being able to serve at the door of the house, although it also means that you have to get up early in the morning to work all winter, it is also a good thing for the local men, and it is better than building the city wall last year.

There are quite a lot of people like him. There is no task of repairing the city wall this year, so the government has relaxed a lot in terms of issuing civil service, and everyone can have a good winter.

But this kind of atmosphere only exists among the people. Both the military camp and the prefect’s mansion are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the tension intensifies as the winter gradually passes and the temperature rises little by little.

In the past few years, the relationship between Han and Hungary has eased. Although there are minor frictions, they are generally stable.Moreover, several large-scale battles were carried out on the western front of the Han Dynasty. Yuyang County, which lives on the east side, has lived in peace these years thanks to the blessing of the Han-Hungarian trade.If it weren't for the strict training of the prefect here, this place would have become a place of stragglers long ago.

But this year they got bad news. The soldiers who went to the grassland to "train" as usual at the end of summer discovered the small group of Huns cavalry. Cheng Shi was really lucky that he didn't fight the enemy, and only ten people escaped after contact.

Among these ten people, one team came back after beheading the Hun soldiers after fighting with them, and the other five people were all brought together as a team to push them out alive.

Although it seemed random, these people all went in different directions when they were sent to train on the grassland, so the loss rate of almost annihilating the entire army was shocking enough.The prefect of Yuyang did not hesitate to report the news to the central government, and at the same time sent a letter to Shanggu to remind the brothers to pay attention.

However, Yuyang County, who immediately became nervous after receiving the news, waited for more than a month and still hadn't moved at all.

There was no gunpowder, no flames, not even a small group of spies, which is really confusing.If it weren't for the dozens of Hun horses brought back by one of the Wu, they might have really thought that this was a defection scene directed and performed by the soldiers themselves.

In the past, the Huns committed large-scale crimes mostly in autumn, and rarely in winter. The Han people could not move in the cold weather, and neither could the Huns.However, at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, when the grassland has not yet grown tender grass, it is the time when the Huns are most vicious.

At that time, they had basically eaten up their food reserves, leaving only some extremely thin herds.These livestock that are left to the end are the guarantee of the herdsmen's life for the next year. If they are killed, it means that they will not be able to survive even if the snow melts.If it is not really impossible to live, it will definitely not move.

In severe winters, the herds may freeze to death on a large scale. In this case, their only way to survive is to plunder.If the Huns who have lost their living capital do not come to grab a fight, they will most likely become slaves of other tribes.

So if it is said that the Xiongnu in autumn still took some precautions to grab some before they could, then in spring, the hungry wolves really went down the mountain.

Therefore, although the Xiongnu did not move, as long as the spring did not pass and the grasslands did not turn green, the border soldiers would not dare to be sloppy at all, and would still patrol every day to check for traces.

A group of armored soldiers were walking on the Great Wall. Suddenly, the first soldier stopped. He raised his head to look at the sky, and his deputy followed him to look at the situation. He saw a swan hovering in the sky, and was immediately puzzled: "How can there be a swan at this time? It's still one. Is it just lost?"

"...Just ask and you will know." Just as the deputy was complaining in his heart about how to ask this question, he put two fingers together on the edge of his mouth and blew a series of whistles. The swan bird in the sky seemed to have heard the signal Generally speaking, he immediately found the direction and flew towards him.

incredible!

The adjutant's mind suddenly flashed these three characters, and he immediately decided to learn this technique from their military officer, but he didn't know whether the whistle would only work on swans or both.

If everything works, then there is no need to hunt!Isn't it flattering?

The place where the soldiers were located was right on the city wall. It was relatively empty when there was no war. I saw a bird flying over to deliver meat...ah no, to join in the fun, everyone gathered around with great interest, "Mr. How to blow it? Is it only swans who can understand it?" "Mr. Jun, teach us!"

Only one person saw through the truth, "Mr. Marquis, could this be... your bird?"

Dou Wan raised his hand to catch the big goose that was rushing towards him firmly, with a very calm expression, "It's raised by a daughter-in-law."

The caught Duoduo goose, "Chirp~"

Soldiers: ...I'm angry, why are you stuffing dog food into our mouths at this time?

Unaware that he has become a means of showing affection, Duoduo geese rubbed Dou Wan's cheek intimately as soon as he retracted his wings, with his long neck circling around.Although Dou Wan was a little surprised by its appearance, he still hugged the goose with one hand and held the saber with the other, and led the team through the patrol process very seriously.

Duoduo showed no signs of coming down, and he hugged the white goose all the way back.After getting off the tower and getting on the horse, Duoduo, as a swan, sat on the horse's back shamelessly. Along the way, he looked around with peas eyes, with the expression "This is what my father laid down for me." O world!" has a subtle meaning.

Everyone at the border gate was even more surprised when they saw the posture of this fast-rising military officer. After the horseshoes flew by, they all commented behind them, "That bird is really fat, I have never seen such a big goose." , there must be a lot of meat."

"Idiot, that's not a goose, it's a swan. The swan of Honghu can fly so high. I don't know how the military officer caught it."

"Can swans eat it?"

"……can."

"Oh, that's it. In our place, there are things that can be eaten and things that can't be eaten."

"...Brother, where are you from?"

"What's the matter, brother, are you going to play with us?"

"No, I will stay away from you in the future."

"...Brother, you think too much, you don't look very delicious at first glance, we like to eat the kind that is more juicy... hey hey... I'm joking, don't go, big brother! Queue, queue !Keep in line hey!"

Under such a high-profile march, after a while, the news that Dou Wan brought back a swan bird spread throughout most of the military camp.There is no way, in winter, the brothers are all bored, and if there is something new, everyone's enthusiasm will be aroused immediately, especially Dou Wan, who is already full of legend.

He was born out of nowhere, with the appearance of a young master, he was clearly a recruit, but he brought people along to kill the Huns and came back, and even robbed the horses of the Huns cavalry.It’s okay to bring back more than 30 Xiongnu horses at one time. This group of people also drove a herd of wild horses, and even surrendered a horse king. By the way, they went around and brought back a small group of scattered outside Sheep that are about to freeze to death.

As far as they came back, those who knew it was fleeing back, but those who didn't know thought they were going to accept the gift from the grassland.After counting the number of beheadings, this kid was promoted to three ranks and became the head of the village.

After returning, this person took the initiative to ask Ying to take people to the grassland to search for the surviving Han army. After wandering for half a month, he successfully brought back a few survivors, and captured many miscellaneous beards and savages.I don't know how this man managed to lead a team of fifty people.

Once the military exploits were counted, he was promoted to another level.

This climbing speed can simply shock other people's jaws.But Bianguan is a place where strength speaks. As long as the strength is sufficient and the head is chopped off, let alone Dou Wan is a rookie, even a servant can rise all the way.

And in this place, the higher the rank, the greater the pressure of responsibility.According to the law of the Han Dynasty, officers who are timid in battle will be killed, so all officers will take the lead in charging and killing in battle.In such a high-pressure environment, brothers around me will be promoted anytime and anywhere, and their souls will return after two days of good life. It has been seen many times, and no one thinks it is rare.

On the contrary, this bird that appears in this season is much rarer.

Cough cough, what, spring is coming soon, and it is also the season to marry a wife.When marrying a daughter-in-law, the dowry gift is generally used to symbolize the strength of the men.Moreover, Honghu never misses the appointment when he travels from south to north every year, and using it as a dowry gift is also a promise from a man to a woman.

Since it is a wedding, of course dead objects cannot be used, that is, live birds must be caught.

However, neither the swan nor the swan is easy to catch. The swan is fierce and the swan flies high. Moreover, these two kinds of birds are very vigilant, let alone captured alive.

It is almost impossible to catch wild ones, and now rich people try to raise them by themselves.But this bird is so big that it eats a lot and has a picky beak. How can poor families afford it.

So, not long after Dou Wan brought Duoduo back to the camp and sat down, a group of brats came to the door to poke their heads, "Mr. Marquis, what, this bird... can you borrow us as a betrothal gift next year? I'll pay you back when I'm done."

Dou Wan calmly took out a piece of thin silk from Duoduo's collar, unfolded it and gently pushed the bird to the ground.Without raising his head, he said to them: "If you win it, I will lend it to you as a betrothal gift."

On this day, the nearby team watched the tragic scene where a group of men were chased by a huge swan bird to the ground, and there was nowhere to go.

The author has something to say:

Trembling, the author forgot to set the time... cough cough

Xia Miao: Heck, no money.

Dasinong: Who can be poor?When I met a prodigal king and wanted to reduce the agricultural tax, when I met someone else who came to adjust the grain, he actually gave it to him. Fortunately, the old man is so helpful!No one wants to take food from the old man, no one wants to!

Xia Miao: ...

Zhidu: Hidden Merit and Fame.jpg

====

Wild geese are usually used in dowry gifts. Later, geese were used because wild geese were difficult to catch (so why were geese domesticated in the first place... this is very subtle). There are not many swans, but it’s okay.

Because wild geese and swans are monogamous, they are very loyal during their relationship, so using a swan as a betrothal gift has a good meaning.

I read in a miscellaneous book that there were people who used to collect other people's dowry geese everywhere and then opened a farm to sell them.If you time travel, you can also try this, raise your family and get rich!

Of course, some places will also be borrowed, such as the dowry that my sister took back, and my younger brother will give it back when he gets married. This is normal, after all, it is rare.

This custom has actually remained in some places in modern times, but now it has been changed to a lower-cost hen!

When hiring, the man brings a male and a female, (in some places, hen is also brought) and then the rooster is left behind and the hen is taken away. The hen will be raised until the woman gives birth, and the eggs during pregnancy are reserved for The woman eats after giving birth.The process is almost similar, and of course there are places that are eaten immediately.

However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it seems that people are more popular to send gold, silver and jewelry directly. =w=

By the way, let me tell you some common knowledge. In ancient times, when you got married, you had to embroider mandarin ducks or something. But in fact, the real mandarin ducks are not the mandarin ducks we see in modern zoos. The mandarin ducks we used to say are red shelducks. The heads of this kind of birds are white. Maomao is also active in pairs, so it means growing old together.

So stop saying that mandarin ducks are not loyal!The current mandarin ducks are not the same as those praised by the literati in the past.

PS: So far, there seems to be no TV drama that uses the correct mandarin duck element. This principle is probably the same as the sitting position when playing the zither in film and television dramas. It's as incomprehensible as trying to suck people up.

As for film and television dramas, it’s enough to watch them lively and listen to them. However, I think it’s better to be more professional for professional film and television dramas, such as those filming medical articles or workplaces.

Here I want to DISS a certain TV series with translation as the theme.

Zurich...is the German-speaking area.

Why do I know!Because then see you in Zurich in 2025!The author has studied the situation in Zurich. When this film came out, many people were blown up, their faces were stunned, and Zai Er specially learned German before.

Of course, I am not in a panic at all, anyway, I am going to bring a translator there =w=
