Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sky was bright, and the big bell of the capital to tell the time rang in unison. The bells that echoed in the city announced that a new day had officially begun.

Zhu Wu, the king of the Han Dynasty, set up twenty large bells in the capital, which were taken from the meaning of the twenty-four hours. When the time comes, the city is filled with the bell of the report.

Yin Li Cunyi of the capital government got up in the gentle countryside, raised his white arm wrapped around his body, and got up to dress.

"Master, lie down with the slave family for a while!" The voice of the delicate child in the tent is soft and glutinous, and when she speaks, she is full of coquettish tone, which makes people's hearts itch.

Li Cunyi pinched Jiao'er's plump body, Jiao'er pretended to exclaim, and said with a smile, "Stay with you for a while?" You bloodsucking goblin, my lord can't stand your toss! ”

Jiao'er's arm climbed up Li Cunyi's back, put her charming face against his face, and whispered in his ear, "The master was terrible last night, the slave family made you toss, and the bones in the mixed body hurt!" ”

The soft and warm breath in Jiao'er's mouth blew on Li Cunyi's earlobe, and Jiao'er's soft body rubbed on his back, which suddenly made his heart ape.

Just wanted to turn over and press it, but suddenly remembered that there was business today, and reluctantly held Jiao'er's tender little hand, "Since I accepted you, the lord knows what it is, and since then the king has not been early!" ”

As he spoke, his face suddenly stiffened.

Carried away, he said the wrong thing. But seeing Jiao'er laughing arrogantly behind her, the servants in the house were busy, and she was relieved.

The lady brought the copper basin for washing, and there was a half-human earth mirror, in which Li Cunyi's face in his early forties looked a little haggard.

"Hey, old!"

Li Cunyi looked in the mirror and touched the corner of his eye, secretly saddening the time in his heart. It's like yesterday when he was a young man, but today he suddenly gets old, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and gray hair on his head.

In the mirror, a delicate face suddenly appeared, young and beautiful, compared with his somewhat old face. The good mood in his heart suddenly vanished.

"Master, this mirror is really amazing, it can see so clearly, as if it is seen in the eyes." Jiao'er looked at the mirror intently, "This kind of baby, that is, grandpa, you can have it, I'm afraid that the emperors of most capitals won't need it!" ”

After a few simple sycophants, Li Cunyi laughed again.

Let the lady help him dress, and said casually, "This baby will be sold in the world in a few days, and the master will give it to you when the time comes!" ”

Jiao'er was overjoyed, and there was another burst of soft words.

This mirror is made by a craftsman's workshop, and for outsiders, it is naturally hard to find. But after the first batch was made, Zhu Wu rewarded a lot of his courtiers.

In terms of property, Zhu Wu, the king of Han, was never stingy. As long as the officials abide by it, he will never make people miserable.

But the human heart never ends.

After freshening up, Li Cunyi came out of the concubine's room and walked to the dining room, where more than a dozen exquisite meals were already on the table.

Dim sum in Beijing, xiaolongbao in Yangzhou, all kinds of side dishes, all kinds of nourishing soup. All kinds of things are packed in gorgeous vessels.

"Eat so greasy in the morning!" Li Cunyi waved his hand, "Break it off and serve some porridge and side dishes!" ”

The servants bent down silently, and while the dishes went down, the thick rice porridge with a silver glow, and several refreshing side dishes were served.

"I've seen the master!"

As soon as Li Cunyi picked up the bowl, the official Li Fu came in with a smile. This Li Fu is a distant relative of the Li family, and after the Li family brothers defected to Zhu Wu in Dingyuan, the official became bigger and bigger, and the family needed their own people like Li Fu to manage it.

"What's the matter?" Li Cunyi asked while eating.

Li Fu said with a smile, "Wang Zhichun of Dingyuan County, the New Year's gifts arrived last night, they are all Dingyuan's specialties, and I said that you can try it for the master!" ”

Wang Zhichun is the Dingyuan County Commander of Li Shanchang's Baoju, and he is a lineage of their Huaixi Li family.

"It's still early for the New Year, but he'll stutter!" Li Cunyi chuckled, "Did the eldest brother send it to his family?" ”

"Back to the master, the villain got up early and sent it there!" Li Fu said with a smile.

"Big brother doesn't have ink?" Li Cunyi said with a smile.

He's the eldest brother, the higher the official, the less courageous he is, not only does he not accept any courtesy, he doesn't let people go his way, and even every time his hometown sends some special products, he has to talk and teach him a lesson for several days.

But no time, I didn't see him eat less and use less!

"The villain didn't see the eldest master, and the people in the eldest lord's mansion said that before dawn, the eldest lord was summoned into the palace!" Li Fu said with a smile.

The Han Palace, in the mouths of the courtiers and the people, privately called it the palace.

"Entering the palace so early?"

Li Cunyi frowned, and then smiled, "See, this is a grace, King Han's side can't leave the eldest brother for a moment!" ”

Li Fu was naturally sycophant, and said with a smile, "The master said yes, who doesn't know that our lord is the pillar of the Han Dynasty, if it is placed in Meng Yuan, he will be the prime minister!" ”

Li Cunyi smiled proudly.

Following Zhu Wu at the beginning, it was their Li family that made the most correct decision in this life.

After breakfast, Li Cunyi put on his official uniform, sat in a sedan chair, and prepared to go to the government with his entourage.

These days, there are many things in the yamen, and there is an official document in the Han Wangfu a few days ago, and the cold year in late autumn is approaching, and the capital government Yin is instructed to settle the displaced people in the capital and repair the poor houses.

"King Han is also too badly kind, isn't it just a group of disaster victims who came to the capital to beg for a living, why bother with such fanfare."

Li Cunyi shook his head in the sedan chair, he was most impatient with these trivial matters. At the same time, the thought of going to those slums in the southern city to see it in person made me feel irritable.

"Wait for these things to pass, go to Zhuangzi for a few days, and let the second boy arrange a few games!"

Thinking about it, the sedan chair moved. The Yin Di team of the capital city set off from the side gate of the Li Mansion.

The sedan chair moved forward steadily, and Li Cunyi comfortably put his feet on the warm treasure filled with hot water, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Suddenly, the dumplings didn't move.

"Why don't you leave?"

Just as he was puzzled, there was an angry roar from the housekeeper Li Fu outside.

"Who are you waiting for, dare to stop Lord Li's driving! Get out of the way! Li Fu scolded loudly, "Get out, don't look long!" ”

Smack, a crunch sound, like a whip on a person.

Li Cunyi was curious, opened the curtain of the dumplings, and was stunned.

I saw a strong warrior, and a backhand slap directly drew Li Fu like a top, and in Li Fu's mouth, white tooth-red blood spit out on the snow.

"You ....." Li Fu covered his face, his eyes were half incredulous, and he couldn't speak.

The subordinates of the Li family wanted to come forward to help, but countless soldiers in armor rushed over before they saw it, and they were afraid in their hearts.

"What are you? Dare to scold Lao Tzu! The samurai who beat people sneered, "Don't talk about you, your master has to be polite when he sees Lao Tzu!" ”

Li Cunyi immediately came back to his senses from his stunned state, and he knew the warrior with the soldiers in his sight.

This person is a thousand households of the Han King's personal guard army, a veteran under the command of the Han King Zhu Wu, and Zhu Mantou.

No one can know his original surname, only that he was grateful for the grace of the Han King Zhu Wudi, changed his surname to Zhu, and named him Mantou.

Don't look at him, Zhu Mantou is not a big official, just a thousand households, but according to the military system of the Han army, he has 3,000 guards from the king of Han, and if he is released, he will be a general.

If it was a weekday, Li Cunyi affirmed that these people around King Han were polite. But today, there is some anger.

"Zhu Qianhu, why did you stop this official?" Li Cunyi came out of the sedan chair, looked at the official family on the ground, and said with a cold face, "The people of my Li family, even if there is anything wrong, it should be disciplined by the official himself." Zhu Qianhu beat people for no reason, and the official wants to go to the King of Han to ask for an explanation! ”

Zhu Mantou pressed the knife on his waist, looked at Li Cunyi, and coldly spit out two words, "Go back!" ”

"Huh?" Li Cunyi suspected that he had misheard, "Zhu Qianhu, you are too bold, relying on the fact that you are the personal guard of the King of Han, you are rampant to this point?" ”

"Go back!" Zhu Mantou pulled out half of the knife, "King Han's order, let you stay at home!" ”

"I don't believe it!" Li Cunyi shouted.

This is the biggest difference between him and Li Shanchang, if he is replaced by Li Shanchang, he will not be so out of shape at all, but he must think calmly, what is the reason, whether it is true or false.

"See for yourself!" Zhu steamed buns threw an object.

Li Cunyi looked at the Tiger Talisman token of King Han and was dumbfounded on the spot.

Han Wang let himself stay at home? Not allowed to go out? Why?

"Send him home!"

Zhu Mantou was impatient, waved his hand, and countless soldiers rushed forward.

The family took the depressed Li Cunyi back to the house, and when he came back, Lord Yin didn't have the style just now.

"Why does King Han want me to stay at home?" Li Cunyi was puzzled.

Why did Zhu Mantou dare to be so rampant and didn't take himself in his eyes at all?

"Sir!" A subordinate ran over and said, "Our house is surrounded by soldiers, and we can't get out at all!" ”

～～～～

At the same time, Li Shanchang held the file of the second master of Nancheng in his hand, knelt on the ground and wept silently.

"What is said above is true!" In the study, Zhu Wu sat on the main seat, expressionless.

"If you don't believe it, I'll call Zhu Damao to come in and tell you, you can also call the second master of Nancheng over and tell you, and you can even call Zhang San, the commander of the patrol battalion in the prison, out and tell you!"

Zhu Wudi's voice didn't seem to be emotional, but in Li Shanchang's heart, he was terrified to death.

He waited anxiously for Zhu Wu for almost an hour, and the tea was changed several times. As soon as they met, Zhu Wuer threw over a few files without saying a word.

After opening it suspiciously, he almost fainted with fright. His younger brother instructed the house slaves to open a gambling house outside the city, Qinglou.

Looking at the names of the places above that the second master of Nancheng said, Li Shanchang's face was like ashes.

The casino is small, and the name of these people is big. As the head of Zhu Wu's subordinates, his political vision is actually deeper than Zhu Wu, and he knows exactly what these names mean and what they represent.

It is said that it is small to form a party for personal gain, and it is said that it is big enough to plot against others. No king could tolerate such a thing.

This happened too suddenly, even if Li Shanchang was so shrewd, he couldn't speak in his mind now.

At this moment, his mind was full of remorse. He didn't know the brocade clothes and food in his younger brother's house, and he didn't know the luxurious scenes at home.

"Minister......" Li Shanchang knelt and was speechless.

Zhu Wuyou spoke, and after a long while, he sighed, "Lao Li, you say, what should I do with these people and your brother?" ”

Saying that, Zhu Wu smiled bitterly, at this moment, he especially wanted to smoke.

This plot is to lead to the ruling national policy of Xiao Wu in the future, and the transformation of Xiao Wu into a real king, don't be annoyed.
