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

That's right, it's time.

Like Da Changqiu, there is actually a time issue in Nangong's letter.

Nangong has been married to her relatives for more than two years. In the first year, she arrived in the grassland during summer and autumn, and it was also summer when Nangong wrote this letter.

However, it contained some vegetables that he reminded him to sow in summer and autumn as much as possible. The letter said that Nangong planted these seeds for two years, but they gave them to him because they were unsuccessful. So unless Nangong first arrived in the grassland and reclaimed the fields in the first year Try to sow seeds, otherwise it is simply impossible to have more than two years of planting experience.

That is to say, the two years that Princess Nangong added to the letter was telling him—this is a wrong sentence, and with this as a line, there is no need to read the following content.

But he thinks it's not that simple.

The little king took out Nangong's letter. If her words are used as a dividing line, what is the connection between the upper and lower?

Dou Wan took it over, copied it on the paper next to it, and then marked the location of the sentences for Xia Anran with a Chinese ink pen.

There are no punctuation marks in classical Chinese, but there will be spaces or sentence readings to indicate the end of a sentence.Of course, in the case of printed books, hand-copied or side-by-side, in order to avoid occupying the layout, these formats will be removed, but they still exist when making letters and memorials.

Xia Anran is a modern person, and he is used to replacing sentence reading with various symbols, such as commas and periods.But Dou Wan is from the Western Han Dynasty, when he wrote this vertical letter horizontally one by one, Xia Anran found that the small black dots that he used to regard as commas were actually in different positions.

Even Xia Anran just felt that something was wrong, and people who are not familiar with Han culture would definitely not be able to see the clue, especially since Nangong still wrote vertically, and the sentence reading seemed to be marked randomly.

But Dou Wan was already a beginner in this way, and he devoted himself to studying it, so he found something wrong.When all the words are written on the same horizontal line, the difference is particularly obvious.

After arranging the marked plant species separately, Xia Anran found possible data from them—germination time and harvest time.

The germination time of plants is different. Some can tolerate low temperature, and can even germinate when the snow layer melts slightly, while some must bloom when the spring is warm, and some plants can tolerate high temperature but not low temperature. These can only be sown in spring. , and some are the opposite, that is, autumn-sown plants.

Xia Anran guessed that these strange sentence readings should represent a pattern or condition of plants. If they are arranged in line, it is very likely that they are the migration route of the Xiongnu.

This is the secret that Princess Nangong thinks only Xia Anran can crack.After all, no matter how smart other people are, it is impossible for everyone to know so much about plants.Only her eccentric brother has studied these things.

And that sentence actually means "line", because there is no such words as dashes and dividing lines in Chinese descriptions, so Nangong used this sentence to hint, but the question is what are these things she added later?

Xia Anran felt that this might be a hint, and he was going to decipher the first half first.

Finally discovered the law, the little king immediately began to arrange.The two of them couldn't figure out which one Nangong drew the map based on, but Xia Anran probably knew the situation and location of the northern grassland, and after connecting all the data into a table, he should be able to roughly judge which one is correct.

It's just that Xia Anran doesn't remember the situation of all the crops written above, he needs to call for foreign aid.

But now it was late at night, even if the officials of the Western Han Dynasty were on standby for twelve hours, it would be too inhumane to pull people out of bed at this time.

Therefore, the little king is going to make some by himself first, and then discuss with others when there is uncertainty.

Seeing that he was excited and wanted to stay up all night, Dou Wan didn't persuade him too much.

In order to avoid leaking the news, Xia Anran did not invite a maid to serve her, so Dou Wan brought several lampposts and lit all the lampstands in the hall at once, and then surrounded the little king with these lamps.

Xia Anran was very satisfied with the bright working environment, and gave her friend a thumbs up.After that, Dou Wan put the small kettle on the charcoal stove and lit it very kindly, and then sat beside Xia Anran.

He doesn't know much about plants, but he has strong logical analysis ability.

Dou Wan just glanced at the few plants that Xia Anran wrote now, and when he wrote, he was able to list the chaotic information that the little king thought of and wrote in a table.

Xia Anran stopped writing and writing, and had to rework from time to time. The amount of work was extremely huge, and he hadn't finished the work until the sky became clear.

Previously, because of her high spirits, she didn't feel tired, but now that the sun was about to come out, Xia Anran felt that her hands and eyes were sore.

The little king stretched, put the pen on the shelf, got up and said to Dou Wan who was still writing: "Ah Wan, don't write yet, come and have a rest."

Dou Wan rose up in response, and while putting the pen on the shelf, he asked, "Your Highness is hungry, what do you want in the morning?"

The little king looked sideways.

Although he stayed up all night yesterday, Dou Wan seemed to care more about his health than him, so he ate a lot of supper last night, and now his stomach is still full.

"It's so easy to be hungry." The little king smiled, "Ah Wan, are you hungry?"

After getting a negative answer, the little king stretched his waist to loosen his stiff muscles and said, "Then let's go to sleep for a while."

Dou Wan paused and hesitated a little.

"Just sleep for a while." The little king thought he didn't hear clearly, and while pulling people to the inner room, he said: "We don't go to court today, and we still have some time to rest, so hurry up and have a rest, and we have to ask the craftsman when he gets up." The planting time of their crops...you are young, if you don't get enough sleep, you may not grow taller."

Xia Anran pushed the person into the room while undressing.After climbing onto the bed in twos and threes, he saw Dou Wan standing beside the bed like a wooden stake, but it was a bit strange.

He turned his face slightly and looked over in doubt, "Ah Wan?"

The two of them grew up together. When Liu Xiaozhu was around, they were slept together. Why are they getting awkward now?They're all men, what's so awkward about that?

But the little king didn't care too much, he spread out the quilt and got in, kicked it with his feet a few times to break it up.

Now this season, Xia Anran's bed is naturally only covered with a quilt, and it's meaningless to ask someone to take it now, so Xia Anran gave half of the quilt to her little friend.

Seeing Dou Wan's strange reaction, he didn't think much about it. His brain, which was running slowly due to lack of sleep, could not supply oxygen effectively at this time.The little king yawned again in a daze, and said vaguely, "Go to sleep, Brother Ah Wan."

A moment later, when he was one step away from falling asleep, he felt that the quilt around him was lifted, and a body with a bit of coolness came in.

Oh, how long has the little boy Dou Wan been standing?It's really awkward.

The little king arched his head under the quilt, and then fell asleep completely.

When the people around him were snoring happily, Dou Wan lowered his eyes, the pupils in his black eyes were flickering like candles, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The sun was gradually rising to the sky, and because the room was covered by the reed curtains, the reflected sun was very faint, and the voice of the servant woman walking outside the door was very clear in Dou Wan's ears.

Unknowingly, he lay in the same position for more than two hours, to the point where the servants were thinking about whether to come in to disturb him.

Dou Wan sighed silently, the little highness next to her was sleeping soundly and deeply, just like the long cat that slept until it turned its belly under the sun, completely indifferent.

The reason why the father sent someone to find him was actually to discuss matters with his relatives.

The man's family got married late, but discussed marriage early.This is also because most of the women with better backgrounds have to make a marriage agreement before they reach Jiji. It is one thing to marry or not at that time, but if the decision is not made early, it is easy to make people think that the woman has a disease or hidden disease.

Therefore, this also led to the princes and grandchildren of some status in the capital having to settle their marriages early. Anyway, the big deal is that after marriage, they will play their own way, as long as they give birth to an heir.

Dou Ying sent someone to find Dou Wan this time for this purpose, he hoped that Dou Wan would go to Chang'an City to show his face and participate in some social activities.

Otherwise, people would know that there is a young man of the right age in the Dou family, but they don't know what he is like.

Marriage is good for connecting families, but at the same time it is also a political investment. Unless a businessman or a family is trying to please the man, the woman's family must carefully consider the future of the family.

This is especially true for a prosperous family like the Dou family.

Because in addition to being at the height of the sun, there is another word called the world is going down.

Anything that reaches its peak will fall, and whether it can get back up after falling depends on the strength of the young people. If the Dou family can have a strong and capable heir, the trust and expectations of these families for the Dou family value will be higher.

The Dou family grew up by relying on Empress Dowager Dou.The current generation's top figure in the Dou family is Dou Ying, but the reputation of Dou Ying's heirs in Chang'an City is barely above the rank of a dandy. Degree.

As the saying goes, after three generations of officials, they only knew how to dress and eat. The Dou family barely entered the upper class for two generations. Naturally, in the eyes of most families, they are just nouveau riche.

Next, they need to get rid of their status as relatives and seek further development, which is not an easy task.

Dou Wan is very aware of this, and also understands what Dou Ying really means. If the Dou family is to survive the inevitable period of weakness after the death of Empress Dowager Dou, they need a strong political alliance to help each other.

Dou Wan was adopted because of such needs.

Emperor Jing's sudden abolition disrupted the layout of many big families. Many girls who had been raised for the noble status of crown princess before could not wait for His Highness Liu Che's choice of concubine.

These girls were all at an awkward age, and could no longer choose a suitable family slowly. Therefore, in the year when Liu Che was made the crown prince, the social activities in the capital were unprecedentedly grand.

They are all girls from a good family, and they have been raised very carefully. If you miss this one, you will suffer a lot, so Dou Ying hastened to call her son back.In order to prevent the unrepentant Congzi from refusing, he even coaxed people to say that if he didn't go back, the palace might come to rob people.

Who is robbing the palace?

His Majesty is in poor health, there have been no Na'vi people for several years, and His Highness the Crown Prince is still young, even if His Majesty is in a hurry to build a team for his son, it will not be at this time.

Then there is only one answer—choose concubines for the princes.

In fact, many princes have reached the age of marriage before, but because the prince Liu Rong has not married a wife, the younger brothers can only get stuck.

Many people speculated that His Majesty was waiting for a noble girl from a certain family to grow up to be assigned to the crown prince. Now it seems that the emperor is hesitating about how to marry the crown prince.

But no matter what, the crown prince is now demoted to Linjiang King. Unlike the crown princess's sensitivity, as the official wife of a vassal king, she has a certain degree of autonomy.

If he wants, he can accept any civilian daughter at will, but in order to express his honor and favor, the emperor usually designates a wife for his beloved son.

The little princes who were stuck by the prince for so long before will definitely receive the emperor's reward and compensation, such as beautiful, capable and good ladies.

When thinking of this answer, Dou Wan felt a surge of dryness, and then the desire to destroy something was churning repeatedly, burning every blood vessel in his body, and burning his calmness and self-restraint into ashes inch by inch .

--I disagree.

He said so in his heart.

But after a while he laughed at himself, how could I disagree?

Who is he? He is a relative who was placed next to King Zhongshan by his uncle and relied on the protection of the vassal king.

And what qualifications does he have to disagree with this matter?King Zhongshan is the most eye-catching among the vassal kings who are now in the vassal state, with great ambitions and good plans.It is also the firm arm of the prince, His Majesty will definitely protect King Zhongshan in order to stabilize the status of the prince.

So, what ability does he have to choose?

In the future, even wanting to be as close as before with this Highness is nothing but obsession.

The emotion in Dou Wan's drooping black eyes was like a viscous texture, and the negative emotions were almost slanted out. At this moment, a foot stretched out of the air, and it was firmly placed on his lap, sleeping on his back. The little king clamped Dou Wan's leg boldly.

The young man was startled, turned his head habitually, and met the peaceful sleeping face of his highness.

The young boy's eyes were closed tightly, he was slack because of today's difficulties, and he felt a bit of happiness, his lips were slightly opened, and the sound of thin breathing escaped from it, extremely peaceful.

He seemed to have seen this scene somewhere before, as if a long time ago, his Highness had slept so peacefully by his side, within his arms.

But how is this possible?

Even though he thought so, the thought of wanting to touch was burning in the young man's heart, making his internal organs feel hot.

Dou Wan hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand, his palm moved along the smooth bed sheet towards the little king.

If it's a natural touch after pretending to fall asleep...

Suddenly I heard the waiter outside reporting in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, the Prime Minister is asking the Grand Tutor to see you."

"Please wait a moment." The little king's sleepy voice sounded from beside Dou Wan.

Dou Wan's movements froze suddenly, his eyes widened in astonishment.

What was he thinking about?Just now, what was he doing again?

The boy suddenly turned over and sat up, looking down at the little king whose eyes were still closed, the latter didn't notice it at all, and because of his movements, he tried his best to bury his face deeper in the bed.

After a lot of struggle, the little king ordered after a while, "Come in."

The palace people entered one after another, and the abundant sunlight from outside slanted into the room, accompanied by the little king's movements of leaning on his little friend for support because he was not awake, all entered Dou Wan's eyes.

The darkness in the boy's eyes was driven away by the sunlight, and he became calm again. He took the warm handkerchief from the palace man and covered the little king's face very simply.But after a few breaths, the young man who couldn't breathe immediately sat up straight and took off the veil.

"Okay, okay, I'm awake!" He hurriedly interrupted Dou Wan's next wake-up call.The little king likes to stay in bed. In order to deal with him, the little friend has a set of inhumane countermeasures.

And as the seasons change, they are updated at any time, which is really cruel.

"Why did the prime minister and Taifu come?" the little king asked while getting dressed.The palace servants naturally couldn't give him an answer, so Xia Anran recalled what had happened recently in her mind, and she was a little confused.

After a while, he knew why these two came here. They did not know how Da Changqiu came to pay a surprise visit last night. , was strongly dissuaded.

For the two assistant ministers, they are obviously loyal to Emperor Jing, but at the same time, this does not mean that they do not care about the interests of King Zhongshan.

In the eyes of these two, flattering Empress Bo is completely harmless and not beneficial.Ah, there may be such a "half profit" that some people praise the little king for his filial piety, but the problem is that Liu Sheng has a biological mother.Mrs. Jia is still alive, so what's the matter with you flattering a former empress?It just leaves the feeling of being overpowered and playing the game.

Literati hate this trick the most, if one fails, His Royal Highness King Zhongshan's good reputation so far will be in vain.

Regarding this point, the little king didn't care at all.He is not the emperor, what good reputation does he want?Of the virtuous kings throughout the ages, how many have died well?

Xia Anran wouldn't want to manage his reputation so well if it wasn't for Zhongshan Kingdom's dedication to recruiting talents.

He was still young at that time, and he would not be able to do it in the future. Liu Qi was very kind to Liu Xiaozhu. Compared with the later emperors who were good at digging holes for their sons, Liu Qi was really the real father of all fathers.

At least he ensured that Liu Che didn't have to fight his own mother, power ministers, and auxiliary ministers as soon as he ascended the throne.

Even Empress Dowager Dou gave the young emperor laissez-faire at first, if Liu Che hadn't gone too far, the Empress Dowager would not have suppressed him halfway.

But at the same time, this also means that if Xia Anran becomes an obstacle in Liu Che's progress one day, he may also be included in the suppression list by his father.

Therefore, finding some negative news for yourself is also a manifestation of the desire to survive, but these words cannot be said to Zhidu and the others.

Xia Anran pondered for a moment, but still took out the product of her hard work last night.

Because the data of several crops are missing in the middle, what is shown now can only be said to be a semi-finished product.This is a rather tortuous land map, which was drawn by Xia Anran according to the germination needs of plants, because Xia Anran felt that this was the easiest data for Princess Nangong to obtain.

This also combines Xia An's later generations' general understanding of the main area of ​​Inner Mongolia. The current map can only be regarded as an extremely rough abstract painting, but such a semi-finished product also shows that following the path he analyzed can indeed be achieved. Pass.

If this finished product is true, or as long as it is [-]% to [-]% reliable, it means that when the Han army attacks in the future, there will be an ambush direction, and there is no need to wander around like headless chickens.

"What do you think?" The little king changed the subject confidently.

Unexpectedly, after a while, he found that the faces of the two courtiers were complicated, and the Taifu even had red eye circles.

What?what happened?This reaction is wrong!

The little king was stunned.He never thought that these two people would have such a reaction. Is this excitement?It doesn't seem like it!

"Your Highness." Zhidu stood in the hall, bowed to the little king and said, "I am so stupid that I didn't see through His Highness' painstaking efforts. I am really ashamed."

Qu Yi also came out and stood beside Zhidu, and said, "Your Highness, this move is too dangerous, and it will make His Highness famous..." He swallowed half of his words, and after a while, his words were choked with sobs, "I wish Advance and retreat with His Highness."

The little king was a little numb. He couldn't understand what his courtiers were thinking. He always felt that what they were talking about was not the same thing at all!

What are these two big guys thinking about?

Hey, these courtiers are good at everything, but they like to make up their minds. Even simple things will become extremely complicated after their brains pass through them.

Xia Anran straightened everyone one by one.After trying to find out how they understood this matter to no avail, he silently turned his attention to Dou Wan who was standing in the hall, who nodded slightly to him, indicating that he had understood, so the little king calmly ordered the matter to go on. .

For some reason, the two courtiers who were extremely opposed to his welcoming Empress Bo before now all clapped their chests and promised to let the empress live in peace of mind and use it at ease.

In short, as long as Liu Qi is willing to let him go, there will be absolutely no mistakes on their side.

So, is Emperor Jing willing to let people go?

He hadn't wanted to.

He doesn't have much affection for Empress Bo, it's just that they are young couples after all, although Empress Bo reminds him of the period when he was helpless and could only feed on others, no matter how much he pretends to be alone, he can't. The law is installed for 20 years.

Empress Bo was extremely dignified as a concubine, filial piety and kindness, and she basically treated Jingdi's concubines fairly and justly. Except for Li Ji who was sour and jealous in the early days, Emperor Jing hardly heard a concubine say anything wrong to the queen.

She was indeed not at fault, but who let her be born in the Bo family, the famous Bo family?

The purpose of Empress Dowager Bo's letting her niece into the palace is to let her give birth to an heir with the blood of the Bo family, but this is what Liu Qi fears.

——The relatives sit big.

The same was true for Queen Lu back then. In order to let her son give birth to an heir with the blood of the Lu family, she married the 11-year-old Queen Hui to Emperor Hui.If it weren't for the fact that Empress Hui never gave birth to an heir, it is hard to say whether the first emperor could succeed to the throne.

The same is true of what Empress Dowager Bo wanted, as long as Empress Bo gave birth to an heir, then the crown prince must belong to the empress's son, which belonged to their Bo family, so it was impossible for Liu Qi to let Empress Bo give birth to a child.

He actually didn't think Empress Bo was innocent at all.Born in Bo's family, since birth, he has enjoyed the glory and wealth that others do not have. If so, he should naturally take on his own obligations.

The obligation given to her by the Bo family is to dedicate herself to the continuation of the Bo family.

Just like his sons, they were born in the royal family, and they struggled for a position that they had never had in their entire lives, but they could easily obtain it.

But because of this, his sons also have the responsibility to stabilize the country and stabilize the border.Almost every prince's fief is behind the frontier, and they are the "protons" who are pressing on the frontier fighters, and they are a guarantee for the emperor to these northern soldiers fighting on the front line.

The prince's feudal kingdom is right behind them. Once they collapse, the first thing to be hit is the prince's life. So why doesn't the emperor come to rescue?

It is because of this level of psychology that the soldiers on the frontier are more confident.

At the same time, the princes are also a pair of eyes to monitor the changes in the frontier. The military power is in the hands of the big officials in the frontier. The sudden rebellion of Han Wangxin back then is the eternal pain in Gaozu's heart.Power is fascinating, and the emperor has to guard against it.

But in other words, if there is a change in the frontier, the first impact will be the vassal state. At that time, the vassal king must turn into a shield to block all pressure for the inland.

This is the duty of the prince.

The stability of the frontier is only a matter of the past ten years. When the empire was just flattened earlier, almost all the vassals on the frontier had to undertake the task of getting on their horses and fighting.

At that time, Gaozu's brother, Liu Zhong, who was named the king of Dai, was because of the destruction of Dai County, and the Xiongnu soldiers rushed straight to Daiguo. Liu Zhong was afraid of the war and fled the country.

Unprecedented in history, he assigned his sons who were only in their teens to various countries, just to show the world his determination to settle the world.

Now the prince is too young to withstand a little storm, if possible, Emperor Jing doesn't want any mistakes and potential dangers.

The existence of Queen Bo is like this.Although she seems harmless, as long as she has the heart, she can make a fuss.

But, everything has a but.

His son Liu Sheng included a message in his request to take care of his mother, saying that the news sent by Nangong this time is very likely to be within the scope of the Huns' migration. Sexual schematics and theoretical support for cracking.

But the son also said that there are very few people in Zhongshan who are good at this, and he is not clear about the seed situation recorded in Nangong's letter. If he wants to further crack it, he may need foreign assistance, and he hopes that the central government will send talents to come.

This message is very important, and Liu Qi really has to pay attention to it.

It has only been two years since Nangong married the Xiongnu. He didn't have any expectations for the news on the grassland, but now he has an unexpected joy.

The migration route of the Xiongnu means that the Han army can strike precisely when the Han and Huns are at war. If they can know a general direction, if they can spread out when they migrate, they can even outflank and ambush in advance.

If it can be deciphered... no, it must be deciphered.

Liu Qi held the letter written by his son tightly, keeping every word on it in his heart.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, feeling that he understood what his son meant.

So on the same day, Liu Qi wrote a small composition to scold his son, and many officials had a heated discussion on the issue of "whether the deposed queen can be given to the prince to take care of".

Officials gathered in groups and frequently entered the palace to ask for an audience. The lights in the Xuan room were kept on all night, and fast horses were galloping in Zhongshan and Chang'an.

At the same time, because his son wrote down Queen Bo's health problems in writing, Liu Qi urgently summoned doctors, and frequently changed people because of the lack of improvement after the abolition.

In the end, it took more than a month, just before the new year of the Han Dynasty, in order not to lose face in front of the Xiongnu envoys, and to avoid arguing with his son about this issue, Emperor Jing waved Empress Bo together with a bunch of doctors and artisans. The medicinal materials were packaged and sent to Zhongshan country.

In order to express his demeanor, Emperor Jing prepared a lot of daily necessities and various rewards for his ex-wife.

The continuous convoy traveled several miles, breaking the folk rumors that the emperor was mean and ungrateful to cross the river and demolish the bridge in one fell swoop.

The author has something to say:

Dou Wan: In preparation for blackening, blackening was interrupted, saving blackening points and waiting for transformation.jpg

Many courtiers: Your Highness really sacrificed too much? !

Xia Miao: Meow?What are you talking about! !

Princess Nangong: It's finished, here it is.

Hun A: Well... I think it's okay.

Xiongnu B: I also think it’s okay, ah, the writing of Dahan is too complicated.

Hun C: It’s all about vegetables, no problem.

Princess Nangong: =W=

If you have no culture, you will be beaten
