Chapter 327
If there really was a title of Marquis of Du Pavilion, plus a military rank of General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu, and then a position as a Prefect, that would be perfect.
Wang Rou, the Prefect of Yanmen Commandery, held the position of Prefect of Yanmen Commandery concurrently with the military rank of General of the Middle Army for the Xiongnu.
While talking, Duan Yu was led by Zuo Feng to the West Garden.
The West Garden was not between the North and South Palaces.
But outside to the west of the Beigong of Luoyang.
One had to exit the White Tiger Gate of the Beigong to reach the West Garden.
Legend has it that the West Garden was Liu Hong's favorite place for amusement.
Liu Hong built a market in the West Garden, imitating the three markets in Luoyang, letting palace maids and attendants dress up as merchants.
And Liu Hong himself dressed up as a merchant, buying and selling among the vendors.
Simply put, it was ancient cosplay.
Besides this, according to the "Records of Forgotten Tales," Liu Hong also built a Naked Swimming Pavilion in the West Garden, covering the steps with moss, and channeling water to flow around every threshold, so he could drift around in a boat.
Every hot summer, he would let the palace maids wear only undergarments while swimming.
Also, for the convenience of his favors, Liu Hong specially invented crotchless pants.
To facilitate his favors anytime, anywhere.
Under the guidance of the Little Huangmen Zuo Feng, Duan Yu followed Zuo Feng all the way into the West Garden.
Before witnessing the situation in the West Garden with his own eyes, Duan Yu had only treated the legends as rumors.
But when he truly entered the West Garden, Duan Yu was indeed a bit dumbfounded.
"General Duan, we have arrived."
The Little Huangmen Zuo Feng smiled and pointed to a group of buildings ahead.
Duan Yu looked out.
There were no solemn and dignified pavilions or towers.
The scene before him was truly like a market.
A place imitating the long street of Luoyang, with wooden shops on both sides of the long street.
Eateries, taverns, all kinds of shops stood in rows.
And there were many 'commoners' and 'merchants' walking on the street.
Besides this, there were actually many people wearing Hu clothing.
However, Duan Yu was not stupid enough to really treat this as a market.
One didn't need to think to know that this was Liu Hong imitating a street market in the inner palace.
Clearly, those commoners walking on the street, and those merchants, were all young men and women.
The women were generally of prime age, while those 'men' were all beardless, and nine out of ten were eunuchs from the palace.
It is said that Liu Hong's licentiousness was the greatest in the four hundred years of the two Han dynasties.
Such a scene was a glimpse of it.
Duan Yu turned his head and looked at Zuo Feng beside him, asking somewhat puzzled: "Where is His Majesty?"
Zuo Feng smiled slightly, then pointed to the market ahead and said: "His Majesty is right in there."
Huh?
Duan Yu was stunned.
What did this mean?
"General Duan, to tell you the truth, there isn't much I can tell you."
"But His Majesty is in this market. As for whether you can see His Majesty, that depends on General Duan finding him yourself."
"This was an idea the Empress gave His Majesty."
"I shouldn't say too much."
"General Duan, His Majesty is already waiting for General Duan in the market. General Duan, please enter."
Hearing the words of the Little Huangmen Zuo Feng, Duan Yu almost cursed.
What kind of novel summons was this?
Which emperor summons a subject in this way?
Hiding himself in a market and then letting the subject find him.
Good heavens!
How obsessed is this Liu Hong with cosplay?
Duan Yu took a deep breath.
He calmed his heart.
Then, after thanking the Little Huangmen Zuo Feng, he stepped into the 'market'.
"Dates, selling dates, fresh big dates!"
"Mung beans, selling mung beans!"
"Guest, come into the shop and taste our wine, it's clear, sweet, and incredibly refreshing."
"Guest, the mutton in our shop is freshly slaughtered, the meat is beautiful and the fat is rich."
"Guest..."
Duan Yu walked in the market.
The 'vendors' in the 'shops' on both sides of the long street were soliciting business from him.
Good heavens.
Duan Yu just wanted to say good heavens.
This was the first time Duan Yu had heard of such a novel way for an emperor to summon a subject.
Just as Duan Yu's gaze was still scanning the surroundings, looking for Liu Hong's figure.
Suddenly, a woman rushed out from the side of the street.
The woman looked panicked, and even the white dress on her body had been torn open, revealing the smooth white skin inside.
The woman, with a pale face, threw herself onto the ground beside Duan Yu.
Then she looked up at Duan Yu with a pitiful expression.
The corners of Duan Yu's mouth twitched.
What kind of drama is this again?
But just when Duan Yu was about to speak.
When he saw the woman's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This woman.
Looking...
Why does she look so familiar?
Especially those eyes.
Suddenly, Duan Yu seemed to remember something.
This woman in front of him looked three or four parts similar to the woman in the carriage outside the gambling house last night.
Especially those beautiful eyes.
It was as if they were carved from the same mold.
Before Duan Yu could think more.
The woman who had thrown herself at Duan Yu's feet spoke.
"My lord, save this little girl, save this little girl."
The woman looked up, looking pitiful.
At the moment she looked up, her pink neck and the slit in her chest revealed a large expanse of snow-white skin.
"My lord..."
The woman was just speaking.
Suddenly, a group of 'evil slaves' holding sticks rushed out from a side alley in the market.
Duan Yu glanced at the group of evil slaves.
Although they were all holding sticks and trying their best to act fierce.
But Duan Yu knew at a glance that they were all eunuchs in disguise.
Speechless. ===== CHAPTER 329 =====
