When he woke up with a hangover, Liu Hong felt like he had been beaten up in a dream, his head was dizzy, and his whole body was sore.

The wine purification process of the Han Dynasty is not advanced enough, the alcohol content is not too high, and the taste is not very spicy; However, after years of brewing, the rice grains in it have been fermented to the fullest, and the feeling after a hangover is no less than drinking the rectified liquor of later generations.

Shaking and sitting up, he saw that Wang Zhong beside him had been replaced by Qin Mu, the door god; Liu Hong ordered Qin Mu to order the dining room to cook a bowl of decanting soup.

Holding back his stomach, he drank the bowl of disgusting sobering soup, and lay down for a while, before Liu Hong felt more comfortable.

"What about Wang Zhong?"

Qin Mu replied in a deep voice: "When the last general entered the palace, the prince said that he would go to Shaofu to get a sword. ”

Chenshi···

Squinting and glancing out the window, Liu Hong found that the sky had already dawned, just after noon.

rubbed his face vigorously, and before Liu Hong could stand up, Cao Yan, who was carrying a wooden medical box, appeared in the dormitory.

After the ceremony, Cao Yan came to Liu Hong's side and gently checked Liu Hong's pulse.

Looking at Cao Yan's appearance of closing his eyes and groaning, the speculation in Liu Hong's heart came to mind again: What was the purpose of Chen Ping arranging Cao Yan by his side?

"If what I remember is correct, Cao Gong should be the second son of the Marquis of Pingyang?"

Hearing that Liu Hong pretended to be inadvertently tempted, Cao Yan opened his eyes slightly, and continued to concentrate on feeling the pulse beating in Liu Hong's wrist.

Seeing that Cao Yan was unmoved, Liu Hong made a look of memory and said: "I still remember that when I was young, Pingyang Yihou was still alive, and my first emperor father respected him very much..."

The first Pingyang Marquis Cao Shen, died in the fifth year of Emperor Hui (190 years ago), nicknamed "Yi" Hou.

Fayun: Gentleness and kindness.

Even in the early Han Dynasty, when the stars were shining and talents were numerous, Cao Shen's "Yi" was a rare beauty.

But the problem is that when Cao Shen died, Liu Hong was only three years old...

A three-year-old child, who has not seen his parents for a long time and is still recognizable, how can he remember his father's courtiers?

Not to mention that in fact, Emperor Hui Liu Ying didn't see Cao Shen very often - Liu Ying at that time was still hiding in the deep palace in order to plan for the future!

Cao Yan withdrew his hand with a smile, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "When the minister's father was still alive, he often praised His Majesty's benevolence, filial piety and intelligence..."

When Liu Hong heard this, he had no choice but to give up his plan to continue the temptation and sit up.

- In the same way, Liu Hong, who was three years old, may not even be able to eat by himself, what can Cao Shen see?

So like Liu Hong, Cao Yan is also!

I just don't know if Cao Yan is as calm as his face appears, or if he is worried that there are Chen Ping's eyes and ears in the palace...

In Liu Hong's view, Cao Yan, as the concubine of the noble family, must be younger than him, but his younger brother Cao Yan, who inherited his father's title because of his descendant, was dissatisfied.

However, the situation is unclear, and Liu Hong is not good at showing too obvious intentions to win over Chen Ping and Zhou Bo.

Seeing Cao Yan write a few flavors of Chinese medicine on a burlap and hand it to Qin Mu on the side, he turned around and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, and the meal should be based on cool and fire-clearing things, and you can't eat too much wine..."

Liu Hong had no choice but to temporarily put aside the worries in his heart, and said indifferently: "I know." ”

"Qin Mu, send Lang Zhongling."

Different from the film and television dramas in the future, the Han Dynasty did not have an early dynasty every day, but based on Gaozu Liu Bang's 'Emperor Taishang in five days', a regular dynasty was carried out every five days.

The meaning of the existence of the Chang Dynasty is similar to the Monday work meeting of the later units; The emperor would ask his courtiers about the progress of their work and assign new tasks; After reporting their work, the courtiers put forward the problems and difficulties encountered in the work, and handed them over to the courtiers to discuss, propose solutions, and then the emperor made a decision.

As for the days between the two permanent dynasties, if something happened that needed to be reported to the emperor, the courtiers would inform the prime minister first to see if the prime minister had the right to decide; If the prime minister can't solve the problem, the prime minister will decide whether to let this person report to the emperor in person, or let the prime minister report on his behalf.

This is the source of the prime minister's lofty status of 'under one person and above ten thousand' - before anything is sent to the emperor, the prime minister will first look at it and even deal with it first, and then summarize and report it to the emperor.

In the normal days when the emperor was in power, there was naturally no problem with this mode of operation; Trivial matters are solved by the prime minister, and the emperor decides on major matters that the prime minister can't decide, which can greatly improve the efficiency of handling government affairs.

But when the imperial power was weak, the prime minister under this mode of operation would monopolize the power and become the de facto controller of the regime.

Just like at this time, Liu Hong admired the embellished 'Gaozu Emperor Sword' in the palace, and even had time to talk to Qin Mu, while Chen Ping was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before burying the case, dealing with the bamboo slips piled up on the case and containing all kinds of government affairs.

Since the morning before dawn, Chen Ping has been sitting in front of the desk; Now, four full hours have passed, and the sun is slightly tilted to the west, but the bamboo slips on the desk have not decreased at all, and even more than in the morning.

Putting down the rabbit hair in his hand, Chen Ping rubbed his sour wrist, picked up the tea bowl on the side and poured it violently, only then did he stand up with his already numb legs and slowly walked towards the prime minister's mansion.

Just as later officials had weekends, officials in the Han Dynasty also had their own rest days, called 'rest bath', which roughly means 'rest and bath'.

Tomorrow is Chen Ping's rest day.

According to the usual practice, Zhou Bo at this time must be holding a jar of wine and waiting in the guest hall of his house.

Recalling the eve of the past holiday, Zhou Bo's 'undrunk' naïve attitude, the corners of Chen Ping's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and then returned to flatness.

After sitting in the carriage and signaling the groom to slow down, Chen Ping took out a pillar-shaped thin cylinder from his arms.

The red mud seal at the port of the bamboo tube has been broken, and two black bird and beast tail feathers are stuck upside down at the end.

The method of sealing mud and preventing peeping has been in place as early as the Warring States period, although it has been widely spread to the people in the early Han Dynasty, but the fire paint mud seal is still the exclusive use of the government.

The tail feathers of birds and beasts can only be seen in the military intelligence reports involving the border gates.

The number of feathers ranges from one to three, representing the urgency of the military situation; inverted, the message cannot be fully confirmed.

Slowly took out the cloth brocade in the tube, looking at the neat words on it, Chen Ping's brows couldn't help frowning slowly, and then he looked out the window, sighing and muttering to himself.

"Jiang Hou only knows one thing, but I don't know the other..."

The cloth brocade slowly slipped from Chen Ping's hand to his knees, and the folded corners of the cloth faintly revealed the words on it.

——The ministers in the clouds are still dead and worshipped, I would like to play Your Majesty, my emperor has a long life...

PS: The specific time when Wei Shang became the county guard in the clouds is unknown, only a sentence was found 'Emperor Wen was the guard in the clouds', the age at this time should be between 50-55 years old, which is quite logical, I hope you don't take it too seriously.

If there is a big guy who is involved in relevant knowledge, the assistant official will listen to the teachings.
