Chapter 12: Hidden Misfortune
"You are, hey..." Sima Xu looked a little disappointed, but what the other party said was the truth. Sima Ji did not leave Youzhou since he was born. Besides, Sima Yan had been transported to Beimang Mountain, so he was not in a hurry. It seemed more solemn to enter Luoyang to repair it for a moment before worshiping. Now, this kind of dirty past does not respect the predecessor.
With the magical operation between the two auxiliary ministers a few days ago, no one would care about some of the exceeding the rules. But even though he said that, Sima Xu felt that the other party still had a problem for him. He wanted to put on the air of the uncle, but when he saw that he was not as old as the twentieth crown, he could only give up and sighed, "Since you want to appreciate the magnificence of the capital, I will leave you a counselor in the royal palace. When you enter the city later, follow him to find me. The counselor has followed me to Luoyang several times."
"Then thank you, Uncle," Sima Ji was moved to the point of bowing and watched the other party leave. Then he chatted with the consultant left by Sima Yun, such as the other party Guigen, when did he enter the Fanyang Palace, and other nonsense, "I want to take a walk outside Luoyang City, so the consultant will stay here, and we will enter the city together when I come back."
Sima Ji found an excuse, left ten guards and counselors of the Fanyang Palace, and began to circle along the Luoyang city wall. Luoyang is rectangular in the north and south, and the city walls are all made of plain earth. Seeing that there was no one around, Sima Ji took out a sword from the carriage and gave it to a guard, "Go and stand under the city wall!"
This sword was created by Sima Ji in Youzhou. The engravings and materials on it are not the most important. The sword is one meter long. Sima Ji's sword is actually a ruler. Going forward further is Jinyong City. Jinyong City is adjacent to Luoyang Leaf in the south and is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city. The city began with Emperor Ming of Wei, with gates on the east, north and south, including Chun Gate on the east, Yao Gate on the north, and Qianguang Gate on the south. There are six views on the west wall from south to north, lined up in a longitudinal direction. A fifty steps are set up for viewing, and a steeping on a hundred steps are set up for defense; a large bell is placed above the platform to bring peace of mind.
Jinyong City is not only a cold palace for imprisoning the harem, but also a place for garrisoning troops. The purpose of building is to strengthen defense, which is both a place for engaging in troops and a place for imprisoning important people. Going forward, you will be discovered by the guards of Jinyong City.
When the guard was standing under Luoyang City, Sima Ji took out a simple protractor from his arms, and used this guard as a reference to measure the height of the Luoyang city wall. The height of the twelve guards was about twenty meters. He kept the data in his heart and Sima Ji began to return the same way.
There were many cities larger than Luoyang in later generations. He also used himself to experience the majesty and magnificence of the Jin Dynasty capital? He just looked at the defensive power of the Jin Dynasty capital before entering the city.
When he went back, Sima Ji, who was a royal family, kept imitating the mind of how to conquer the heart of the Jin Dynasty. When Daxia Gate entered the city on the north, he lifted the curtain at the city gate. Sima Ji, who held a protractor, measured the angle at the side wall and moved very quickly. In the eyes of the city gate captain, it was just a prank by a noble young man.
"Seventy-five degrees!" Sima Ji thought silently in his heart. Later, Changsha King Sima Yi defended Luoyang and fought against Hejian King with one against two. The two armies of the CD King showed that Luoyang was not easy to conquer. How did Sima Yi lose? It seemed that he was betrayed by others. It can be seen that the traitor was the reason why Luoyang was conquered.
The city walls in the Song Dynasty in China were made of trapezoidal rammed earth, and brick and stone city walls were the mainstream after the Song Dynasty. Don’t think that this kind of rammed earth city wall looks like soil. In fact, it also has something better than brick and stone city walls. The biggest advantage is its strength. The Kangtu city walls actually siege the city for months or even years in the era.
The biggest advantage of this kind of city wall is that it has great resistance to catapults. The situation where a trencher is used to smash a gap into the city with a catapult, rarely happens on the rammed earth city wall. However, the weakness of Luoyang City in the Jin Dynasty was not without it. Luoyang was a rectangular in the top view. This square layout is actually not very clever. Under a strong attack, the army should be concentrated in the east and west sections of the city wall and try to open the attack surface.
No one would have thought that a prince of a vassal prince who had just entered the city would actually think about how to conquer the capital of the Great Jin Empire. After meeting with Sima Lu, the two of them changed into regular clothes and went to the palace to pay homage to the new king.
"The power of the court has fallen into the hands of the Taiwei Yang Jun, and things are more complicated than we think. The King of Runan was so, and he ran away without a sound!" Sima Xun's voice was not loud, but his tone was full of dissatisfaction. "Now Yang Jun is appointed as Taiwei, and there are many people who cling to him. Don't you see who this is the world?"
Isn’t this world a world with tens of millions of people today? Sima Ji touched his chin and pretended not to hear the complaints from King Fan Yang. However, in Luoyang, Yang Jun is indeed a one-handed person now. Strictly speaking, most of the troops of the Jin Dynasty are the Central Army. The Central Army has a large scope in the Jin Dynasty, and the Central Imperial Guard in Luoyang is only a part of the Central Army in a broad sense.
"The King of Uncle has filtered out. Yang Jun is just an external minister. With our royal family here, no one can cover the sky with one hand." Sima Ji Buxian comforted him indifferently, but he himself didn't believe this.
The Central Imperial Guard is in the hands of the Grand Marshal Yang Jun, so what? Just based on the drama performed by Yang Jun and Sima Liang, how could he be a rival to Jia Nanfeng? In September of the second year of Yan Taishi, the ministers believed that "now the Great Jin Dynasty followed the traces of the Three Emperors, followed the traces of Shun and Yu, followed the people of Heaven and the people, and received the Zen and Wei, and it is better to use the true colors of the previous dynasty, as if there were Yu Zun Tang stories, and Yu Yi was Hong."
One person named Sun Sheng said, "It's still true, it's not. Moreover, Jin was the Jin Dynasty, and the color of the emperor was still red. The way of heaven was considered very contrary." According to the algorithm of the five virtues, Jin should be Jin De and Bai. As a result, Sima Yan believed in the white plan again, and China turned into a white ocean.
However, Sima Zhong's yellow robe is red, and the royal family must be different from the ordinary people, right? The walls of the palace city are much higher than those of the Luoyang city wall. On the east side of the palace city is a huge Eastern Palace, where the prince lives in the Eastern Palace. According to Sima Ji's observation, this Eastern Palace is at least one-third of the entire palace city. This scale is unheard of. It should be the largest palace in which the princes in history have lived, right?
Sima Su and Sima Ji did not enter the Tai Chi Hall, but were recruited into the Zhaoyang Hall of the harem. However, compared with their figures, the palace still seemed very empty.
