Chapter 63: Another Magical Stone
Shanglin Yuan is really big, and Hanzhou feels that even if there is a small-scale war inside, the people on the north bank of the Wei River can still sleep until dawn.
There will be a palace here in the future, right?
Then, half of it became an unfinished project, and in the Han Dynasty, did it become a place to raise horses and soldiers?
If you knew it earlier, it wouldn't be so wasteful. It also forced the common people to rebel!
But who would have known earlier? Even I came from the 21st century and knew later, how could I know earlier?
If there is his own intervention, Fusu can succeed to the throne smoothly, will things be better? Will he be a good emperor?
Do you want to kill Hu Hai in advance? And Zhao Gao, the empty guy below.
β¦β¦
Fusu looked at Xiao Han speechless all the way, and then turned his head to ponder him, and smiled gently: "What, do you think I'm good-looking?" β
Han Zhou shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Gongzi is very good-looking, but what Xiao Han thinks is, will you be a good emperor in the future?" β
Fusu raised his head and smiled: "What kind of emperor does Xiao Han think is a good emperor, I want to be a good emperor, but I don't know if what I think in my heart can meet the standards of Xiao Han girl, and I don't know if I can do my best to achieve what I want in my heart." β
Han Zhou was silent for a moment, this was indeed a question he had never thought of. The good emperor and the bad emperor are really too emotional evaluations. It depends on where you stand on it. For example, the one in Xianyang Palace right now, how many sufferings of the people are what he cares about, and he only has merit in his eyes. As for the evaluation of later generations, he was a great man who created an era. No amount of transgression can cover up his merits.
Thinking of this, she said, "The emperor is a position, not a person. β
Fusu nodded: "Father Emperor also said something similar. In that position, there must be people who praise and someone who scolds, and what is praised now and scolded now is not finished is to praise and scold in the future. Those who achieve great things are not informal, and being an emperor is even more so. β
Han Zhou nodded, but also sighed in his heart, the difference in their position will inevitably lead to different evaluations, which is something that cannot be helped.
Fusu also said: "It is my principle to cherish the people's strength, the peace of the world is my pursuit, and the foundation created by my ancestors must not be compromised in my hands." If one day I can become a great treasure, I will definitely not disappoint my ancestors. Of course, now that my father is in full bloom, it is too early to talk about this. β
Han Zhou asked: "Didn't the emperor talk about the arrangement after a hundred years?" β
Fusu smiled: "Then how to talk!" My father has been trying to find ways to prolong his life, and many people are looking for elixirs for him. He himself is also very conscious of his health, and now he never stays up late, and he also pays attention to his diet. In addition, he may have this kind of thought, but those who are close to him can't say it, and those who are estranged don't need to say it. So we don't know what the arrangements are, and everyone is taboo to talk about this topic, we just hope that he can live a long and healthy life. β
Hanzhou let out an "oh" and said nothing more. Those were too far away from her.
Fusu also said: "It is not easy for my father, in the process of unifying the six countries, he killed some people, and the descendants of those people must hate him if they are still alive." Maybe they want to murder him day and night. After the reunification, the father was worried that the original feudal places would be alienated from the current court and go their own way, so he had to go out to the east every once in a while. Even though the road was repaired, a person who was always sitting in the car and running on the road was very tired. Once, the emperor said, 'Fusu, this is the emperor!' I saw that the peasants who were chilling on the roadside slept better than me. ββ
Han Zhou sneered in his heart, but he sighed flatly on his face: "People in any position have things that they can't get!" Then she asked: "Since the prince has such feelings, do you still want to be the emperor?" β
Fusu smiled: "This is something you and I can talk about." There is no one who doesn't want to be an emperor when he is born as a prince, not to mention that I am the eldest son. I wanted that position because I wanted to do things in that position, and if my father had a lack in his foundation, I wanted me to make up for it, and other things were not attractive to me. But I also think that my father can really live forever, so that I can be a rich idler, and I can travel with the girl for a lifetime. For example, let's go to find blind fish, look at giraffes, make porcelain, tell stories to the children, and I'll give you mud and mud next to you, and listen to stories by the way. β
Han Zhou smiled: "That's it?" β
Fusu said seriously: "Yes, that's all! β
Han Zhou teased: "You're a man, huh? β
Fusu said, "What's wrong with the man? Isn't it good that we have no worries about food and clothing, and live such a life? β
Han Zhou nodded, it's really good, it's really good under the premise of abundant food and clothing, just like Prince William and Princess Kate, symbolically attend some events, and the rest can do whatever they want, who asks Prince William to support his family?
Fusu's face is an infinite yearning for the future life, and he weaves his future with himself, such a man with both big ambitions and small feelings is really charming.
I hope he can live well.
Fusu immediately looked at Xiao Han, who was staring at him intently, she looked at herself like this several times today, she must have fallen in love with herself.
The person I love happens to be in love with me, and that's a good thing.
Fusu stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiao Han's hand holding the reins, and whispered, "Marry me." I want to be with you every day. β
Han Zhou was stunned, knowing that this was what he was going to say sooner or later, but he was still surprised. She didn't expect such a scene and such a moment. After being silent for a while, she said: "I'm very happy in my heart, Childe can treat Xiaohan like this, but I'm very satisfied with the current situation, and I haven't thought about changing our relationship yet." β
Fusu smiled bitterly, gently touched Xiao Han's hand, and Wen Yan asked, "Is it so difficult to change our relationship?" β
Xiao Han also patted his hand comfortingly: "Of course it's difficult." In front of me now is Childe alone, and further on is Childe's family. Isn't that hard? What's more, my parents are not settled, so I can't decide this kind of thing alone. β
Fusu smiled bitterly again, he really wanted the gods to help, and now let Xiao Han's family appear in front of him.
And the reason why Hanzhou can't say it is, how long can I stay with you? Do I have what it takes to face those who harm you? What if I know but can't stop it? Also, if I can go back, can I promise you to leave you behind?
Since you can't decide, leave it all to time!
"It's not far ahead, and Mu Mu is already waiting there." Fusu raised his horsewhip and pointed.
Sure enough, Mu Mu led a horse in front of him, stretched his neck and looked around.
Han Zhou said: "Gongzi goes out without Mu Mu or security, just riding alone, if there is something good, it is not a big deal in Xianyang City?" Not anymore! β
Fusu smiled indifferently: "No one dares to touch me if he knows who I am, I don't provoke him if he doesn't know who I am, and he has no reason to touch me." It's inconvenient to follow people, but it makes the whole city know who I am, and it's hard to know what the people think. β
Han Zhou shook his head helplessly, he still thought things too simple.
"Childe, there is a sentence that Xiaohan must say, and Childe must also listen."
She said so solemnly that Fusu had no choice but to nod seriously: "You say." β
"Childe must have his own dead soldiers, and he must have his own people. Only by giving the people around you a chance can we cultivate credible and reliable people. Childe doesn't mean to hurt people, that's Childe's kindness, and it's too naΓ―ve to think that others don't have an idea about the status of the eldest son. What's more, as I said just now, if Gongzi has something bad in Xianyang City, it will be a major event in the entire Xianyang City, how many innocent people will be involved in this matter? Confidence in the security of Xianyang is certainly due, but God cannot forgive people who are too contemptuous of their own safety. β
"Is Xiao Han so worried about my safety?" Fusu asked seriously.
"Of course, drunkards can bring disaster, as well as mules and horses frightened, rabies attacks, passers-by collisions, ......, even if they are not harmed much, but Childe is a person who does big things, why let these small things distract him. You are the eldest son of the royal family, your name is Fusu, protect yourself well, and protect this country well in the future. It's a responsibility! β
The concern in her eyes was so sincere and so heavy, even though she was too worried, Fusu was still very moved. He shook Xiao Han's hand heavily: "I'll change it." I'll take this seriously. You can rest assured. I won't cause trouble to others, and I won't worry you. β
Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, I hope there is such a person by his side who can protect him desperately. On the day when he will be useful, death will not make him give up his life. If you are alive, you will have a chance, even if the emperor doesn't do it, let Ma Nanshan go.
The way she relaxed made Fusu very warm, this was a woman who really felt sorry for him. She picked up Xiao Han's hand, put it to her mouth, touched it lightly with her lips, and then jumped off the horse and reached out to help Xiao Han off the horse.
Mu Mu was a little stunned, Childe's progress was so fast, Miss Xiaohan let him do it himself!
Xiao Han looked at Mu Mu like that, but she was a little shy, even if it was the twenty-first century, she had never been so caught by anyone, she and Liangzi had never shaken hands, but their hearts were turbulent. I have held hands with Lao Chen, but Lao Chen is conservative, at most he is holding hands, and when the child is born, both of them will hold the child's hand. In front of people, there was no closer movement, and she sometimes complained that the child was an intruder into the world of the two of them, and they both lost the impulse to love. Lao Chen didn't let her say it, for fear that the child would hear something bad.
Fusu waved his horsewhip and made a gesture to smoke Mu Mu, but Mu Mu dodged with a smile on his face, and at the same time made a lethal action. And the two of them walked inside hand in hand. Fusu wanted to hold hands, but Xiao Han still refused. It made Fusu roll his eyes.
This is a personal home, and there are already a few people in the courtyard, looking at the contemplation and breath, as if they have come to make a pilgrimage rather than come to see the rarity. They speak occasionally, but in a low voice, and they can't be heard until they get closer.
An old man comforted a middle-aged man: "Wait, I will call you in later, you will say whatever you have, and you will tell the truth before God." β
The middle-aged man nodded mechanically: "Hey, I listen to you." I listen to you. β
The old man sighed, closed his eyes, and began to recuperate. It seems that everything is left to heaven.
A few people in the courtyard were silent again.
Fusu is not in a hurry, and Hanzhou is not in a hurry, they are originally looking at the excitement, and the performance of the people in this courtyard should be part of today's excitement.
Mu Mu wanted to ask questions for his master, but seeing that both of them were calm, he simply shut his mouth and pulled the horse aside.
The only sound in the whole yard was the restless tapping and snorting of horses, which was very eerie.
β¦β¦
After a while, a man came out of it, burst into tears, and bowed backwards to the inner room as he went, and as he passed through the crowd, he dragged a random man, who nodded knowingly, and walked into the house with some nervousness. And the man with tears in his eyes went out of the courtyard.
The others were very sensible and didn't make a fuss about first-come, first-served or anything like that. It can be seen that some people are nervous, but they dare not speak up. This is how order is formed, in the invisible coercion.
After a while, the old man who had just spoken went in, and after almost a cup of tea, he came out, as if he had put down something, and he became a little more relaxed. He patted the middle-aged man who had just spoken, with some comfort and encouragement. The man nodded gratefully and went in as well.
The man went in for a while before he came out, and although his tears and snot had not yet been wiped away, his steps were relaxed.
He walked over, not knowing which one to remind, seeing that Hanzhou was a girl, he nodded and pouted. Han Zhou knew that it was time for her to go in, she looked at Fusu and asked softly, "Can the two of them go in together?" β
Fusu didn't answer, took her hand and left. In Xianyang, he said that he could do it, and there was nothing else that he could do, but it was just to watch the excitement.
It's a very clean hall. There was a thin old man inside, and there was something in front of the old man, which was the stone with white hair that Fusu said. The thing was treated with great respect, and there was a base underneath, and the wood of the base was a good material at first glance, and between the stone and the base was padded with fine silk embroidery, and a gentle luster was reflected on the stone.
The stone was like a small vertical pillow, grayish-white, and there were white whiskers on the upward-facing end, much like the kind on the green onion, but it looked thinner than the onion whiskers, Han Zhou didn't reach out to touch it, but it felt harder than the hair, because a few of them were drooping, but they were branched. The whiskers were scattered in one direction, like a man combing his hair, and they were all pulled behind them.
The old man nodded and said, "If there is anything embarrassing, embarrassing, regretful, or unjust, tell Shi Shen, and you will be helped if you tell the truth." I won't listen, I'll go inside. Give something as you like when you go and put it in the jar over there. I don't make money, but I often have to entertain visitors here, so I understand that you two are here. With that, the man went back to the back room, and closed the door.
Hanzhou and Fusu glanced at each other, they just came to see the excitement to find out, and now the master asked them to take care of themselves, so they can do it themselves.
Fusu said: "You come first, talk about finding a home, I am still waiting for your family to appear soon to marry you."
Han Zhou glanced at him, did he really think this stone worked? Isn't it also to see the excitement?
She stood on tiptoe and pressed Fusu's shoulder, Fusu bowed his head knowingly, and she whispered in his ear: "Let's talk and watch, only say what is possible for people to hear, watch out for the people on the other side of the wall." β
Fusu nodded, and he crouched down and leaned over to the stone. So is Hanzhou.
Han Zhou said: "Shishen, I don't know where you came from, do you know Beijing?" My home is in Beijing, but I forgot how to go back, can you help me find my way home? My parents are old, they are waiting for me to come home, I want to cook food for the family, and I have to accompany my mother to go shopping......"
She pondered the stone while chattering, and almost said all the grievances that the paper was not published, the stone is just a stone, but there is a big living person by her side. She reached out and picked up the stone, looked at it carefully, and then pointed to the roots of the "white hairs" for Fusu to look at them carefully. The stone has no pores, but the "hair" does seem to be part of the stone, with some tiny black spots at the roots, which is the basis for the growth of the "hair".
Is this glue? You can't see it with the naked eye, but when you smell it, you don't smell anything. There is no technical means to do composition analysis. What exactly is this black dot?
Fusu didn't know why, so he leaned over and sniffed it. Han Zhou pinched a piece of hair, pulled it, ripped it off, and Fu Su was stunned, this girl really doesn't believe in evil, and the head of the stone god dares to move!
Hanzhou put the things in his hands and stabbed Fusu, "It's your turn, it's embarrassing, embarrassing, regretful, and unjust."
Fusu cleared his throat: "Shishen, I don't know where you came from, have you ever seen Xiaohan's father, if you can see it, hurry up and let them come to Xianyang, what a good girl, if you don't marry here, you will be old." β
Han Zhou pinched him hard, Fu Su screamed, and continued to chatter: "Really, Shishen, I'm so pitiful, you must help!" β
Han Zhou pinched him again: "Don't talk about this, talk about others, worry about the country and the people!" β
Fusu shook his head: "No." Oh, may the people of the world be fed and clothed, and the family will be reunited. β
Han Zhou also said seriously: "May the people of the world be fed and clothed, and the family will be reunited." May everyone in my family be safe, and you all be well, waiting for me to go back. β
Then, the two glanced at each other, Fusu stood up and pulled Han Zhou, and the two had nothing to say. Just as he was about to step out, Han Zhou poked Fusu and pointed to the jar next to the stone, Fusu was stunned, "I don't bring money, I have to call Mumu." Han Zhou also spread his hands and said, "My money is in the burden on the horse's back." β
"Forget it, my name is Mumu." As he spoke, he shouted "Mumu" at the door to the courtyard.
Originally, the inside and outside of the house were shrouded in a mysterious and quiet atmosphere, and this "Mumu" caused everyone to be shocked, and the atmosphere dissipated inexplicably, and some people began to watch or talk to each other.
The door of the inner room opened, and the old man walked out, with some forced dissatisfaction: "Are you both finished?" β
Fusu said, "It's over." I just didn't know how to bring money when I came in, and I couldn't leave without the slightest expression, so I called someone to come in and pay. β
The old man's face softened suddenly, but he said, "It's okay, it's okay." β
Han Zhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said, "Can the old gentleman tell me the origin of this stone god, it came from the sea?" β
The old man was stunned for a moment, this stone was bought, but how can it be said that the thing that is revered as a stone god was bought? As for where it was originally located, how did he know?
"Ah, girl, this stone god is a godsend, and one day the old man went out for a walk and met him on the road. Thinking that its appearance is extraordinary, it must be a metaphor for things in the world, so I invited it back. β
Han Zhou smiled: "Then we won't bother the old gentleman." β
Mu Mu had already paid the money, he was very clever, and seeing that Fu Su dealt with it casually, he coped and gave a few dollars. The old man did not show any displeasure, and told them to go outside the door and call another one in.
Out of the compound, Fusu said: "The girl is very bold and dares to pluck the hair on the head of the stone god!" β
Han Zhou replied: "The son is not small, dare to be with the woman who plucks the hair, so he is not afraid of disasters from the sky and will burden himself?" β
Fusu laughed, "What do you want that hair for?" β
Han Zhou said: "I want to burn it to see if there is any smell of hair." No matter what animal has a fever in its hair, it always tastes like that. β
Fusu nodded, and Mumu also nodded. Nodding, Mu Mu looked for tools to light the fire. It was far away from the courtyard at this point, and there was no one around, so it was a good time to experiment.
Fusu asked, "The girl just asked if the stone came from the sea, but what suspicion is there?" β
Hanzhou nodded, but she couldn't tell Fusu that it was from the child's exploration series. In the section on the lower organisms of the sea, there are some pictures of something floating in the sea like hair, as if it is called a cephalic insect, and its body is a thin tube, which is generally attached to the substrate of stones and shells. But I don't think it's white, right? Will it fade because of death?
"I've heard it before, but I've never seen it," she said. It is said that there is a stone that has been pushed to the shore by the waves, and there is something like hair growing on it, which is strange to some people, but it is not uncommon to see it a few times. They say the hair is hollow. β
At this time, Mu Mu said: "The fire is on, you can light it." β
Han Zhou also looked at this handsome face seriously, and said wistfully: "Childe, remember what I said?" The world is big, and we are small. I can't explain my own business, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing. If Childe thinks I'm anything special, ask Childe to give me an explanation, and I'll find my way home steadily. β
By the end of the words, her mood was already bad, and Fusu suddenly regretted bringing up this topic. Where did she come from, who was she harmless to herself and to others, so why should she be serious?
Han Zhou sighed and said, "Childe should think about why there are always magical stones that have been repeatedly told and sought after. Today it is stone, tomorrow it may be wood, today it is a stone god, tomorrow will it be a dryad? If a society where people have abundant food and clothing, happy families, harmonious neighbors, and do not worry about getting sick and having no money for treatment, not worrying about bad harvests and no food to eat, and not worrying about going out and not coming back, do they still need to worship this and that? People can't decide their fate before they ask the sky, so what about the parts that people can solve? What are people doing? β
Fusu was asked. He never thought deeply about it.
Childe pulled Xiao Han to watch the excitement again and again, Xiao Han also felt lonely in life, and wanted to see what was rare in this world. However, Childe, after watching the excitement, I also saw the people's feelings. People go to ask the heavens because the court does not give enough help to the people, and people go to ask the heavens because their eyes and brains are blinded. Gongzi asked me, what kind of emperor is a good emperor, Xiao Han couldn't say, for fear that he wouldn't be able to say it completely. But Xiao Han now feels that the emperor who is not afraid to open the wisdom of the people is a better emperor. He is confident enough to lead the people. β
Mu Mu opened his mouth wide, Miss Xiaohan also dared to say this? It's the prince standing opposite!
Fusu's expression became complicated, he squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Han, he wanted her to stop talking, but there was a voice in his heart that said, This is a question you have never thought about, you might as well listen to her. Don't you, a prince, even have the bearing to listen to different opinions?
She was obviously criticizing her father for not doing well. But he loved her and he didn't want to lose his temper in front of her.
And Xiao Han said this because he was Fusu, she looked at him as a prince, she wanted him to be a good emperor, and she answered the question he raised, what kind of emperor is a good emperor. She is for his good, and he can't lose his temper.
If it weren't for his future, she could have coaxed him to be happy.
His expression made Xiao Han unable to speak anymore. All three stood still, surprisingly quiet, and the cries of birds and the snorting of horses seemed even more harsh.
After a while, Mu Mu cautiously asked, "It's not early, is Childe hungry?" β
Fu Ban nodded, "Let's go." β
Xiao Han opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this. I treat Childe as a friend, but I always forget Childe's identity and my own identity. β
Fusu shook his head: "Let's go, let's go back to dinner." β
The three of them didn't say anything all the way.
After crossing the bridge and arriving at the old town, Fusu moved his lips, but said nothing. Originally, he wanted to invite Xiao Han to his home for dinner. I planned it when I left today, but now I find that I can't say it.
Xiao Han smiled gently, as if he had put down something heavy, saluted him very formally, and went to Marcy.
