In December of the twelfth year of Jianwu (36 AD), the head of Gongsun Shu was Luoyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Subsequently, Liu Xiu sent an envoy to apply for the name of Sima Wu Han: to visit the virtuous and virtuous, and to show the people of the festival.

Wu Han regretted that he had plundered too much and tried to comply with his orders. Li Yu, Cheng Wu and other Gongsun Shu old generals, choose to use, posthumously give Gongsun Shu Wenchen who failed to persuade and died of depression is often less than too often, Zhang Long is Guangluxun, and he is in the table. The people of Zhaolong and Shu who were plundered as slaves and maids and sued themselves, as well as those who failed to report to the prison officials, were all exempted from being concubines. At this point, the officials and the people were satisfied, and the previous resentment suddenly disappeared, and Shu surrendered to the Han.

The Han army marched in the east palace and the west, the southern expedition and the northern war, and the four sides were basically flat, and there was only one Lu Fang who used the emperor name and pretended to be Liu Wenbo. In the same year, Liu Xiu's advisor Duan Zhong led the commuters from various counties to be assigned to Du Mao and guarded the north. Du Maofa sent border guards to build pavilions, build beacon towers, and sent a commission to supply the soldiers with gold silk and silk, and gave the border people, and the crown looked at each other. Promote tuntian, open up the land for self-cultivation, harvest of grain, and donkey cart operation.

Lu Fang coveted the border products, personally led Jia Lan to attack Yunzhong, and left the general to guard Jiuyuan with Yu. Yunzhong couldn't attack for a long time, so he wanted to coerce Lu Fang to surrender. Lu Fang knew that his wings were attached, and the strong brigade was distracted, so he abandoned his baggage, and fled into the Xiongnu with more than ten horsemen, and the rest of the people returned to Yu, and Yu sent a messenger Cheng Sui to Luoyang Yique.

Liu Xiu was not to blame in the past, worshiped Suiyu as the Taishou of the Five Plains, sealed Hu Hou, and then made Suiyu block the capture and plundering of the Hu people, and made contributions to the imperial court, which is quite meaningful.

As Lu Fang fled into the Xiongnu, the cities he occupied came and fell. Yanmen people Jia Dan, Huo Kuang, Xie Sheng, etc., are often bullied by Yin You, and Yin You is handsome and guards Pingcheng together. Jia Dan and others killed Yin You together, and they favored Guo Liang. Guo Liang's table was played, and they were all named liehous. Immediately afterwards, Guo Liang killed the Haoyouxun clan, pacified the people, and subdued Yanmen in October. However, with the surrender of various places, suddenly a large number of slaves and maids increased, and Liu Xiu asked the ministers how to place these slaves and maids, and some of the courtiers said that they could imitate the female servants of Qi Huan in the past.

Liu Xiu looked at the music, and the afterglow touched Yin Lihua, who was grinding ink on the side, and his eyes naturally fell on Yin Lihua. On a whim, he asked Yin Lihua: "What do you think about the matter of setting up a female lu?" ”

Yin Lihua, who was grinding ink, paused for a moment, and continued to grind ink, and after thinking, she replied: "If it is for the world, you can set up a female lu; If it's for Uncle Wen, it's not necessary. "Qi Huan's female Lu is a good policy offered by her ancestor Guan Zhong, and she knows it.

In the past, Guan Zhong set up women's lukou, not for lewd pleasure or whimsy, but for a certain political and economic purpose:

First, in order to increase the country's revenue, the women's market collected men's money into the government, which was the so-called "pollen tax" and "pollen donation" in later generations. Therefore, Chu Xuejia of the Qing Dynasty said: "Guan Zi governs Qi, puts 700 women, and levies the funds of his night to fill the country, which is the beginning of pollen money." ”

Second, alleviate social contradictions, that is, on the one hand, do not make many men have nowhere to vent their troubles, and on the other hand, a large number of female slaves can be properly placed. Such as "Han Feizi? "Foreign Prince" said: "Huan Gong saw that Minxing was seventy years old and had no wife, so he sued Guan Zhong. He said: 'When the minister hears that there is wealth, **** will be scarce; There are resentful people in the palace, and there are old and wifeless people in ****. Huan Gong said: "Good." 'Let a woman in the palace marry before she has tasted the king, but let the man marry at the age of twenty, and the woman at the age of fifteen. As a result, the contradiction between some men in society who have no wives has been eased. At the same time, at that time, Huan Gong was hegemonic, and he captured many women from other countries in the war, and there were some criminal female slaves in the country, and placed them in prostitutes, which could further solve the needs of some people in society.

Third, attract tourists. At that time, the princes of various countries competed for power, and if the Qi country wanted to dominate, it was necessary to recruit talents, and use the wanderers to talk about it, and the pipes were all in order, and the bureau of cloth and clothes had been opened, but most of these travelers were dissolute and unruly people, who loved women and alcohol, so opening brothels became a means to attract them. Yan Taizi Dan also has a similar approach, in order to attract talents, attract travelers, he selected a group of beauties to be placed in the hotel, and every time a guest passes by, he sends these beauties to entertain and stay.

Fourth, for Qi Huan Gong entertainment. Gong Qi Huan is lustful, and the wives and concubines in the palace are tired of playing, and they have to come out to seek excitement. "Han Feizi? The foreign prince said on the right: "The uncle of Duke Huan, the internal affairs belong to Uncle Bao, and the foreign affairs belong to Guan Zhong, who was sent to the royal woman, and traveled in the city every day", which shows that the Duke of Qi Huan is good at traveling. Guan Zhong's establishment of a brothel also has a good component of investing in Qi Huan's office.

Liu Xiu also knows a lot about this, and after listening to Yin Lihua's answer, he didn't say anything, as for the fact that he set up a female lu, whether he had his own selfishness or was wholeheartedly for the world, it was unknown. Yin Lihua didn't bother with this.

This year, Liu Yang was eight years old, studied under the master of scripture Huan Rong, because of his talent and intelligence, and respectful and studious, he was even loved by Liu Xiu, Huan Rong, etc., in the past, whenever he had doubts, he always loved to consult Yin Lihua, but in recent days, Liu Yang has been extremely silent, and he looks like he is very concerned. Yin Lihua made a special inquiry about this, and it turned out that Liu Fu ran to show off what he had learned to Liu Yang a few days ago, and used what he had learned to make Liu Yang speechless, and then he was proud of it and ridiculed it, Liu Yang was deeply affected by this, but he never mentioned it to Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua left Liu Yang alone after this day's meal, holding his little hand and strolling on the path, she asked Liu Yang: "Yang'er, are you still studying "Shengmin" recently?" ”

"I'm still learning about "Shengmin"." Liu Yang seemed a little shy to answer. ("Shengmin" is from "Daya" of "Book of Songs")

When Yin Lihua heard this, she smiled and said: "Mother Concubine heard Aunt Yu's words, Yang'er often praises Mr. Huan, is this really true?" ”

"Definitely." Liu Xiu immediately retorted, as if he had a lot of opinions on this.

Yin Lihua stopped, slowly leaned down, looked at Liu Yang and asked, "Why does Yang'er deny it?" ”

Liu Yang pursed his lips and replied in a low voice: "Erchen secretly thinks that Mr. is just a casual boast, if Mr. Huan really praises, why don't you teach Erchen more knowledge every day?" ”

"Why did Yang'er ask for this?" Yin Lihua asked gently.

Liu Yang looked at Yin Lihua, his face was full of love, and he couldn't help blurting out the words in his heart, "It's just because the second emperor brother knows a lot of knowledge, and the sons are not as good as the sons, and the sons want to be able to answer the questions of the second emperor brother next time, and not for the second emperor brothers to laugh at the stupidity of the sons." ”

Yin Lihua stretched out her hand and gently stroked Liu Yang's head, and said lightly: "Yang'er, the concubine asks you, if you ask King Yi what you have learned today, King Yi doesn't know anything at all, and he can't deal with it, will Yang'er think that King Yi is stupid like this?" ”

Liu Yang thought about it seriously, then shook his head and replied, "I won't." ”

"Why?" Yin Lihua asked with a smile.

Liu Yang replied seriously: "What the sons and daughters have learned today, the imperial sister is not yet young, and she doesn't know if she doesn't learn, and it's not stupid to not know." ”

Yin Lihua was very happy when she saw Liu Yang's thinking so clearly, and she smiled and said to Yang'er: "Yang'er is really smart. Yang'er can think like this, so why should she care about what the second emperor brother says. If you are not stupid, why not ridicule? What other people say is enough to sway you? ”

Liu Yang listened, was silent, bowed his head and fell into contemplation alone.

Seeing this, Yin Lihua quietly got up and accompanied her.

Liu Yang pondered for a long time, Fang raised his head and said to Yin Lihua: "Mother Ran, the son wants to prove it to the second emperor brother." ”

Liu Yang is so competitive, it's not a good thing, Yin Lihua can't let it go on like this, she asked: "How can Yang'er prove it?" ”

"Erchen has worked hard in learning, catching up with what the second emperor brother has learned, if he can surpass it, it will be better, then the son can not only answer the second emperor's brother's questions, but also ask one or two, and see how he laughs at the son." Speaking of this, Liu Yang's eyebrows danced.

"Academically, as long as you work hard, you can achieve what you want, if your second emperor brother laughs at you again for being abandoned by your father, what should you do?" Although these words are a bit hurtful, the most important thing for them to be in this identity is to fight.

When Liu Yang heard this, he immediately lowered his head and was silent.

Yin Lihua felt uncomfortable when she saw Liu Yang like this, "Yang'er, the mother concubine said this just to let you understand that you don't have to fight for a moment in everything, there are some things that we can't just fight, and even more, we can't fight for them." You are young and do not understand many things, but you will have to understand one day. Yang'er, you have to remember that sometimes fighting is not fighting, not fighting is also fighting, don't fight with your royal brothers for you and your mother is the best. ”

Although Liu Yang seems to understand what his mother said, he has always listened to Yin Lihua's words, although he is a little reluctant, but he is unwilling to disobey his mother. He said to Yin Lihua: "The sons and daughters must remember the words of the concubine. ”

Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Yin Lihua didn't know her son's thoughts, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "Yang'er, you have always been a smart child in your mother's heart, and your second imperial brother and even the crown prince and royal brother are not as good as you at such an age." ”

When Liu Yang heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face and asked, "Mother, is this true?" ”

"If you are serious, when did the mother concubine coax you?"

Liu Yang thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "No." Since there is none, it is the truth, and in this case, how can he not be happy.

Yin Lihua saw Liu Yang smiling so happily, she couldn't help but smile, and took his little hand and continued to walk forward.

"Mother, if the second emperor brother is so provocative next time, what should the sons and daughters do?" Xiao Liu Yang is happy in his heart now, and he doesn't want to fight with the second emperor brother anymore, but if he meets again, he doesn't know how to deal with it, and he silently bears his unwillingness, he hopes that his mother will give him advice.

Yin Lihua thought for a while and said to Liu Yang: "If your second emperor brother comes to provoke again, you will say that the second emperor brother is erudite and talented, and the imperial brother is beyond his reach, and I will ask the second emperor brother for more advice in the future." In this way, your second emperor brother will definitely not laugh at you again. ”

Liu Yang never expected Yin Lihua to say this, he thought that Yin Lihua had some clever method, but he didn't expect it to make him flatter the second emperor brother, he was not happy, so he expressed his resistance silently.

"With the two emperor brothers, the ability to speak and win, and lead them to envy, or flatter their words, avoid their edge, and not be ridiculed, choose one of the two, Yang'er chooses by himself."

After hearing this, Liu Yang thought seriously for a long time, and asked with a worried face: "If it is the latter, will the imperial sister and the imperial brother look down on Yang'er?" ”

Yin Lihua smiled: "No, Yang'er is a wise move like this, and the mother concubine also wants them to learn from you." ”

When Liu Yang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, "Really? ”

"Seriously." Yin Lihua replied very firmly.

Liu Yang finally had no worries now, took Yin Lihua's hand, and began to tell Yin Lihua what he had learned recently, and said the doubts together, Yin Lihua listened carefully and answered them carefully, the two mothers and sons walked with laughter, and the big and small figures still added a beautiful scenery to the spring path.
