Chapter 152: Young Master Heng's Order

Emperor Han for three years.

The snow is falling, the whole Chang'an is suppressed by the snow, even the bear children dare not go out against such cold, the whole Chang'an is empty, only the patrolling soldiers, braving the frost, pressing the snow back and forth in Chang'an, their faces are frozen red, and their mouths keep exhaling thick fog.

Fortunately, when today's son was kind-hearted, before the winter, he sent a large number of winter clothes to the patrolling soldiers, and ordered them to reduce the number of patrols, and also set up a few huts in the city, which can block the snow, and there is a fire in it to avoid the cold.

This deeply touched the armor soldiers, which had not been treated in the past.

"Big sister!!"

Liu Chang rushed into the Jiaofang Palace, he was wearing a light yellow fur and a big wind bag, his face was flushed, but he didn't care at all,

His gaze quickly skimmed over the few people who had met, and finally stopped at Liu Le's body, he smiled and threw himself at Liu Le's side, originally wanting to jump into her arms, but rushed to the eldest sister's side, and he was embarrassed to find that he could no longer pounce into the arms of the eldest sister.

Liu Le looked at Liu Chang, who was as tall as himself, rubbed his eyes, and widened his eyes, "Long... You..."

When my father died, this son was less than my shoulder. It's only been a few years!

Liu Chang was extremely proud, he grinned, "The eldest sister has become shorter!" ”

"What if you're taller? Yes? Dare to be disrespectful to me? Liu Le stretched out his hand and rubbed this guy's head with a smile.

"Eldest sister, just rub it, in another year or two, you won't be able to reach it!" , Liu Chang said proudly.

"Yo, you're good-tempered. Mother, bring me the stick over there."

"Big sister. We haven't seen each other in so many years, and you're going to beat me when I first see you?! Could it be that you braved the snow and came back just to hit me?! ”

Liu Le laughed, but Empress Lu had a straight face and scolded: Shaft! Don't meet your sister-in-law yet! ”

Liu Chang reacted at this time, hurriedly turned to look at Zhang Ao, leaned over to greet him, and Zhang Ao got up to return the salute.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Yan also got up to meet their uncle, and Liu Chang let them get up with a big smile, and walked to Zhang Yan's side in a few steps.

Putting his arm around his shoulder, "Judah, you have come at the right time!" Now the cold winter, the most suitable for catching rabbits, these days, I have been eating rabbit meat for four or five days in a row, I have a good hunting dog, called Ruyi."

Zhang Yan looked at his uncle, who was a head taller than him, and his expression became more and more respectful.

Zhang Yan asked with some curiosity: "Are there any rabbits in winter?" ”

"Absolutely! With such snow, rabbits have short legs and can't run fast, which is the easiest time to catch! ”

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, "I've always wanted to raise rabbits..."

"Judah! I'll leave it to me! I'll catch you! ”

The children were talking here, and Empress Lu was also chatting with Princess Lu Yuan and his wife, Liu Le said with some embarrassment: "

I already have food, and my mother will give me land, so it is better to stay and reward it to the meritorious soldiers."

"How big is your food estate... Look at the long, sitting on the Tang Kingdom, and getting another county, you will not give up, what are you going to give up? ”

Empress Lu really dotes on Princess Lu Yuan, and she speaks very kindly, and her tone is completely different from that of Liu Chang.

Princess Lu Yuan thanked her repeatedly, and Zhang Ao also thanked her.

Empress Lu glanced at Zhang Ao again and said: "You always associate with some rangers and the like on weekdays, I don't blame you, but you have to control it well, if they make any mistakes, Your Majesty will punish them, and I won't intercede for you." ”

"Yui!"

The three of them were chatting, and Liu Chang suddenly poked his head out from the side and looked at Liu Le with a smile, "Sister, where is my gift?" ”

"What kind of gift?"

"Every time the eldest sister comes, she has to prepare gifts for the princes!"

"That's right, I came this time, and I also prepared a gift for Xiang, now in the palace, in addition to him, how can there be a prince, aren't they all princes and kings?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have grown so big, I have never been to the feudal country, to be precise, I am not a prince and a king..."

Liu Le laughed, "Don't worry, how can I not give you a gift!" You'll find out later! ”

"Thank you, big sister!"

Liu Chang immediately looked at his sister-in-law, Zhang Ao sighed silently in his heart, he already knew that he couldn't hide, he didn't like to come to Chang'an now, every time he came to Chang'an, it was a heavy hemorrhage, and the family left by his father was going to be lost.

"I know the suffering of the people of the Tang Kingdom, so I specially prepared some bark furs, which can be sent to the Tang Kingdom..."

This bark coat is a coat made of bark, and the people can't afford to use animal skin coats at home, so there are coats made of bark, and in the future, there will even be paper furs.

Liu Chang raised his head, "My sister-in-law is my close relative, and I have to give gifts every time I come, so how can I accept it with peace of mind?" ”

"I... I hope the king will accept it... A little heart."

"Hey, since it's my sister-in-law's intention, then I won't shirk!"

Liu Chang stood up, looked outside the hall, and said, "Someone! ”

Suddenly, two attendants walked in, both holding things in their hands, Liu Chang first took one and handed it to Liu Le respectfully, "Sister, this is what I gave you!" You've given me things many times, but I haven't been able to return the favor! ”

Liu Le's eyes widened, and he took the gift and saw that this was a painted lacquer makeup, and there was everything in it.

It can be seen that this shaft is attentive, Liu Le took the gift, his eyes were a little red, Liu Chang was shocked, "Don't you like it?" ”

"It's not... My eldest brother has grown up! ”

"That's nature!"

Liu Chang proudly picked up the second gift and gave it to Zhang Ao, Zhang Ao took the gift, this is a flag? This flag is a little tattered, he opened it to see, only to see that there is a big "Changshan" on it, Liu Chang said with a smile: "This is the banner used by King Jing when he crusaded against Xiang Yu, and later changed the title of King Zhao, and this flag was returned to the temple. This is what I am asking for from Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Ao's eyes widened, his hands trembled slightly, Zhang Ao admired his father Zhang Er very much, and he was also collecting his father's relics everywhere in the country, but he didn't expect Liu Chang to give him one, he was very excited, he looked at Liu Chang, and was about to bow and thank him, but Liu Chang pulled him up, "My uncle has helped me many times, why is this so?" ”

The atmosphere in the Jiaofang Hall suddenly became more harmonious, and Empress Lu glanced at Liu Chang deeply, but did not speak.

Just as they were chatting, Liu Ying walked in with a smile.

"Big sister!"

Liu Le, Zhang Ao and others hurriedly got up and greeted the Son of Heaven.

Liu Ying subconsciously wanted to help them up, and when she thought of something, she accepted their visit and said, "Get up." ”

Liu Ying sat beside Empress Lu and said seriously: "The queen was originally going to come with her children. It's just that it's too cold outside. …”

"As it should be, we will go to see the queen and the prince later."

"I heard that in the previous autumn hunt, the Son of Heaven shot a tiger..."

Liu Ying smiled bitterly, "It's the soldiers who help each other, otherwise, how can I have such a ability?"

"Even if someone helps, it is not easy for the Son of Heaven to shoot the tiger."

Zhang Ao chatted with Liu Ying, and Liu Le asked again: "The eldest brother also went with him?" ”

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment and said: "Let's still say that Your Majesty shot the tiger, my body is a tiger skin, how is it, majestic, right?" ”

Lu Hou said coldly: "This shaft came to beg me several times, and I let him go... Who knows, he won't have to get along with the marquis."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, there's no arrowhead, and it's a small short bow."

"Is that okay?"

"He aimed at Guan Hou to shoot, of course Guan Hou is fine, but Xiahou Ying who was following Guan Hou was unlucky."

"Ahem, what's inside, I'm going to play outside, let Yan go with me."

Liu Le hurriedly said: "It's so cold outside..."

Zhang Ao said: "Go, Yan doesn't have any friends on weekdays, he is always alone, and he happened to meet some friends with his uncle, how can the eldest husband cower in the mansion?" Let him go! ”

Liu Le didn't want to give face to his lover in public, he just glared at him and asked him to wait for no one to leave.

"Uncle is learning to shoot?"

"It's not, how to say it, according to the words of the Hou, I just don't know how to keep my strength and shoot with all my might, so the head is a little off, but the damage is enough... You say I'm accurate, I can't shoot at Guanhou, you can't say it, I can insert an arrow into General Xiahou's crown again..."

"Don't talk about this, I'll take you to meet the talents in Chang'an!"

Zhang Yan followed his uncle out of the city, to a courtyard in the city, there are many children, lit a fire, are chatting, seeing Liu Chang coming, they are extremely excited, hurriedly come, Liu Chang pointed to Zhang Yan, introduced: "This is my Yu Ziyan!" ”

Everyone greeted him, Zhang Yan was timid, always stayed at home on weekdays, and didn't interact much with his peers, so he didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Shengzhi raised his head high, as the oldest among the sages, this guy already had a little bit of slag on his face,

He can't wait to let everyone know that he has a beard, he always looks up, and the sages are also very envious, they also want to grow a beard, preferably a beard like his father, how majestic!

Liu Chang touched his bare chin, looked at Zhou Shengzhi with some displeasure, and said sourly: "You have to be careful, if you are arrested in the future, you can be tortured!" ”

Qunxian began to talk about who had the best beard in Chang'an City, many people were affected by torture, thinking that the Han Dynasty did not have a barber, in fact, this is wrong, the Han people do not have messy beard hair, they are not barbarians, they will also trim, they will trim the beard into various shapes, apply "hairspray", let it be fixed.

The men of the Han Dynasty loved beauty very much, and those fierce generals also cherished their beards, Liu Bang was a typical example, he had to trim his beard every day, so everyone thought his beard was very good-looking, and Liu Bang was also proud of it.

After a long chat, they went out to hunt rabbits.

Zhang Yan followed his uncle to play crazy for a day, this was the first time he experienced the happiness outside, even if his ears were a little numb from the cold, he didn't care, and soon melted into the circle of these talents, a big king, and smiled extremely brightly.

In the evening, Liu Chang took the two rabbits and returned to the palace.

"Yan!" When Liu Chang handed over the two trembling rabbits to the maiden, Zhang Yan was very happy, she looked at the two rabbits with a smile, and didn't know how to thank her uncle, Liu Chang waved his small hand, and then said: "Remember, don't keep it directly in the courtyard, this thing will run away, get a cage at night, Zhang Yan is still talking to his parents about Liu Chang."

"Uncle is really amazing, he runs faster than a dog!"

"Just catch up with the rabbit, he still knows how to catch birds!"

"Uncle also took us to Jianchenghou's house, Jiancheng Hou saw me, very happy, he also said that he was going to visit you, and he also slaughtered sheep to entertain us!"

Seeing the chattering words of his son, who is usually silent and silent, Zhang Ao glanced at Liu Le with a smile, "You younger brother, it's not ordinary. You see that he returned the gift today, he has made preparations, and he has investigated your hobbies... No wonder you've always loved him so much. ”

Liu Le glared at him, "I like him because he is my younger brother, not because of anything else!" ”

"Okay, okay, you have the final say!"

"However, with your younger brother here, no one dares to bully Yan and Yan..."

Liu Le asked the two children to go to bed first, and then said to Zhang Ao: "Today, my mother said something to me, I think what she means is that she wants to marry Yan to Liu Bi, the king of Yan. ”

Zhang Ao's face changed greatly, he frowned, and asked angrily, "What does the queen mother mean by this?" Do you want to use my daughter to win over the king?! ”

Liu Le squinted his eyes, "Don't worry... I'll take care of this. ”

The next day, Liu Chang sat in the car and asked with some confusion: "Sister, where are we going?" ”

Liu Le smiled, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

They walked all the way and stopped at the door of a mansion, Liu Chang looked at it for a moment and asked, "Isn't this your other courtyard?" Is the gift here? ”

"yes!"

Liu Chang jumped out of the carriage with a smile and walked quickly to the door of the mansion, suddenly, he was stunned, raised his head, and looked at the plaque on the mansion.

There was no one here, because Liu Le did not live here often, and he did not deliberately mark Princess Lu Yuan's mansion, but at this moment,

In the upper left corner of the mansion, the words "Tang Wangfu" were marked, Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned his head, "Sister?" You're going to give me this mansion??

"You've grown up too... It's time to have your own mansion. ”

"Several other princes and kings have it, but you don't have it, this is a gift to the princes and kings."

"Sister!!"

In Liu Chang's heart, it was indescribable excitement, he finally had a mansion of his own, he finally had his own territory, he could invite others to be guests in a bright and bright way, and he could do whatever he wanted here.

Soon, the three major shes and the sages came, and Zhao Gong did not let him travel because of his old age, so Liu Chang did not let him travel, after all, other people who were freezing in the cold helped Liu Chang clean up here, this mansion has always been empty, and many things need to be filled, so Qunxian took some things from his own home to make up for it, as for Liu Chang, he stood proudly in the courtyard, smiling all over his face, looking at his mansion, and kept chattering.

"I'm going to build a kennel here, take Ruyi over, and raise it here!"

"I'm going to build a pavilion here, so I can have a banquet here in the summer!"

"I'm going to get a shooting range in the backyard, so I can practice archery with peace of mind in the future!"

After everyone cleared the snow, Liu Chang held a banquet in his mansion to entertain everyone, which was also regarded as a thank you, and after the sages left, Liu Chang only left the three major people.

Liu Chang sat on the top seat, and the three major people sat on either side of him.

"From now on, this will be my mansion, and you can come here often to discuss great matters with the widows!"

"Yui!"

"That's the case, Zhang Xiang sent someone to send me a letter, which said that most of the officials in Qi were arrogant and unwilling to follow it.

The same is true of the people of Qi, who are quite dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty... He's figuring out a way to fix it... In the vassal states of these places, the people only know their own kings, and do not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, how can there be such a thing in the world?!

Liu Chang asked angrily.

Luan Bu hesitated for a moment, but didn't speak, as if the most serious situation in this situation was Tang Guo, right??

Liu Chang asked, "What can you do?" ”

Zhang Budo was the first to get up, he said: "The people of Jibei County have always regarded themselves as Qi people, and now they belong to my Tang Dynasty, and they are not convinced, but it is also understandable, the king can write to Zhang Xiang, let him select some officials from the Qi people, go to all parts of the Tang Kingdom, divide the people, and then reduce taxes, and accept the hearts of the people, within five years, Jibei County will be able to return to the heart!"

Liu Chang nodded and looked at Luan Bu again.

"The king can set up more docks in Jibei, so that its contact with other counties and counties in the Tang Kingdom is more frequent, and my Tang Dynasty encourages reclamation, and such a policy can also be implemented in Qidi, encouraging the people of Qidi to go to Shangdang and other places to reclaim and trade. Reduce commercial taxes, exempt vehicle and vessel taxes, and encourage people from other regions to go to Qidi. The two sides have had more contact, so naturally there will be no resistance, and Liu Chang finally looked at Ji Bu.

Ji Bu said with a smile: "The problem of Jibei County is actually a problem of how to govern. ”

"Jibei is different from other counties in the Tang Dynasty, the king can make Jibei County a center of trade with the princes in the south, my Datang smelting technology is superb, there are all kinds of advanced technology, you can exchange these things for raw materials... Strengthening the ties between the north and the south is also a matter that is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, and the main reason why various localities have not been able to form the concept of great unification is because the roads are inconvenient and there is not much contact. ”

"The king can use the Tang Kingdom as a hub to connect the entire Han Dynasty and let all places come and go closely, so that all places can understand what is one."

"The most important of these is the road on land and water."

Liu Chang carefully wrote down their thoughts, this is his sage!

The same question, when he asked another group of sages, Zhou Shengzhi's answer was to kill all the people of Jibei County and take the people of Tang State, Fan Yan was better than him, but it was not much better, he asked Liu Chang to take the people of Jibei County out to repair the Great Wall of Tang State, build a royal tomb for Liu Chang, reduce their population, burn their books, and force them to speak the Tang dialect.

The widow is the king of Tang! It's not King Qin!!

At this time, Luan Bu suddenly said: "King, if it is freezing today, Shang Fang stopped work, and Shang Fang sent someone to ask me,

What about those Mohist Confucianists? They have no place to live, and they can't follow Shang Fang into the palace.... Shang Fang's people didn't dare to let them go. ”

"Let's send a group of people back to the Tang Kingdom first... Let them teach other craftsmen in the Tang Kingdom. ”

"Qin Mo and some of Chu Mo stayed, and the widow had his own arrangements."

"Yui!"

Zhang Budo got up again, "Wang, the things you asked me to send to the pro-soldier school have been delivered... It's just that the school field is simple and can't block the wind and snow, and Liu Buxi wants to strengthen the school field. ”

"You go to the lieutenant later, let the Northern Army figure out a way! At the beginning, the Son of Heaven once said that the northern army was responsible for the materials of the widowed soldiers, and he had to be responsible for the affairs of the school! ”

"Yui!"

After Liu Chang explained these things, he suddenly laughed.

"It's presentable!"

"Finally starting to look like a real prince!"

"The princes and kings who have their own mansions are different!"

"Ruyi doesn't have a mansion in Chang'an, right?"
