In the early morning, I saw a heroic young man wearing a plain shirt and carrying a sword at his waist, driving out of the palace in a car.

The moment he left the palace, Liu Rong suddenly felt relaxed, and said in his heart: "It's better not to disguise, not to show ease of life with a false appearance............

The attendant on the side seemed to see that His Highness was a little happy, and asked, "Why is Your Highness so happy?"

Liu Rong replied with a smile: "Tell you, you don't know."

When the car drove out of Chang'an, and when there was no one around, Wang Sheng, who was disturbed by a civilian, walked out of Liu Rong's car, saluted Liu Rong, and returned to Chang'an City............

When Liu Rong came to guard the tomb of Emperor Xiaowen, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, had ordered someone to send an edict to inform Baling Wei last night, so that he could properly entertain Liu Rong.

Before leaving the palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, also gave Liu Rong a rune and an edict, so that he could dispatch a thousand soldiers belonging to Baling Guard.

At that time, Liu Rong was also a little moved, knowing that his father's move was to protect him well and defend against any accidents during the mausoleum.

Although the Son of Heaven must put everything in order to be the most important thing in the country, he is also a father, how can he not love his children......

But one day, Liu Rong arrived at Baling, Baling Wei Li Yang, as soon as he received the emperor's edict, he ordered people to wait outside Baling, and as soon as Liu Rong and his party arrived, Li Yang led his men to pay homage.

The emperor has already stated in the edict that the Baling Guards are all dispatched by Liu Rong, how can Li Yang not care about Liu Rong......

Li Yang saluted and said: "The minister Baling Wei Li Yang, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Majesty has sent a message to the minister the day before yesterday, the Baling Palace has been arranged, and I also ask His Royal Highness to go and rest."

Hearing the palace, Liu Rong was very helpless in his heart, where is there anyone who guards the mausoleum and still lives in the palace. Looking at the flattering Baling Guard in front of him, he already knew that this person must be trying to show favor to him......

I had to say: "Baling Wei is exempt, I am only here to guard the tomb of Emperor Xiaowen, how can I stay in the palace, I don't know if I can find another place to live."

"Your Highness, this... There seems to be nowhere else to live on this tomb......

At this moment, a small official stepped forward and said: "My lord, there is a house not far from the Imperial Mausoleum of Baling, which was built by the emperor in the past, although the rent is not very luxurious, but it is also complete, and there are many houses, and His Royal Highness's attendants can also be properly arranged."

Li Yang was reminded by his subordinates before he remembered that there was still a place to go, and hurriedly said, "What does Your Highness think?" ”。

"So, for the best".

After that, Liu Rong and his entourage were led by Li Yang to the former residence......

After everything was arranged, Liu Rong first went to Baling to worship his grandfather, and then lived in Baling with peace of mind, studying and practicing swords all day long, and the days were also leisurely......

………………………………………………………………

One day, the sky was clear, Liu Rong took more than a dozen soldiers out of the Baling Tomb and traveled to the vicinity on horseback.

Seeing that the neighborhood was full of wealthy families, Liu Rong knew that Haoqiang from all over the country had moved to ............

Since Emperor Gao Liu Bang, when the emperors of the Han Dynasty built their own mausoleums, they would move all the wealthy and wealthy people from all over the country with a family property of more than 100,000 yuan to the vicinity of the imperial tomb.

On the one hand, everything is like life, and there is no one near the mausoleum, so moving the local heroes here can increase the popularity of this place.

The two are many of the local heroes and the ministers of the court, and the vassal states are inextricably linked, and the local county guards dare not provoke them, so these heroes will do whatever they want in the Han Dynasty, do all kinds of evil, and move them to the Guanzhong land controlled by the imperial court, so that they can control others, and later Liu Yu attacked the Xiongnu The military budget was insufficient, so he came up with a strategy, reusing cool officials such as Zhang Tang, etc., to suppress the strong, like cutting leeks, and confiscating many Haoqiang's family property one after another......

At noon, a group of people suddenly felt hungry in their stomachs, so they found a wine house to eat, and when they entered the wine house, Liu Rong's guard Wang Shen asked: "Shop, is there still food at this time?"

"Back to the guest officer, there was no food at noon, but today there is a newly slaughtered sheep in the house, which can be cooked for the guest officer."

"It's so good, quickly choose some lamb to roast and bring it up."

When everyone had finished eating, the attendant asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is it?" ”。

I saw this person speak: "Ten gold".

The guard asked, "A few catties of roasted mutton cost ten gold!" ”

The shopkeeper looked innocent at this time, and said: "When the guest officer entered the store, I made it clear that there was no food at noon, and it was the guest officer who wanted to enter the store to eat, how could I blame the villain!" ”。

Wang Shen was furious, and punched this person in the chest, Wang Shen and the others, all of them were selected from the elite of the Northern Army, how could ordinary people withstand a punch from him, I saw this person screaming and covering his chest, and then fell to the ground.

Just as everyone was about to leave, more than 20 people suddenly rushed out from the side of the wine house with short blades in their hands, trying to surround everyone.

Wang Shen and the other guards immediately drew their swords, approached to protect Liu Rong in the middle, so that the two groups of people were already facing each other, and they seemed to be angry and became a little nervous......

At first, the shopkeeper of the wine house saw that his subordinates were beaten for collecting money, of course, the fire came from it, so he rushed out with the rest of his men to avenge his subordinates, so that he could extort a sum of money, but when he saw Wang Shen and several people drawing their swords against each other, he knew at a glance that they were all well-trained people and one of them had not yet gotten up at this time, so he was so fearless that he did not want to fight with him again.

But he didn't want to let them go easily, so he said: "Today, when you wait until I am in the house, after eating the meal, you will beat Xiao Er and hand over fifty gold, and I will let you go, otherwise I will report to the official and report your evil deeds to the government and punish the crime."

When Wang Shen heard this, he was even more furious, so he wanted to lead the guards to come forward and end up with this group of profiteers.

Liu Rong suddenly got up, stopped Wang Shen, and said, "Don't say much, let him go and report to the official."

The king affirmed Liu Rong's meaning and said, "We don't have so much money, how can we be with you?" ”。

Sure enough, when the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately ordered someone to report to the official, and he stayed to deal with Wang Shen, and after half an hour, he saw a person dressed as an official hurriedly walking into the winehouse.

Liu She's shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it is this group of people, who are unwilling to pay for food and wound their servants, and now they are holding a sword against the villain, hoping that the adults will save me."

I saw this human: "This official is the county lieutenant of this county, and I don't want such a thing to happen today, this official orders you to hand over the money as soon as possible, and this official will not blame the past and forgive you."

Otherwise, you will be sent to a great prison and to be punished."

Liu Rong first heard that the shopkeeper of the wine house said to report to the official, and then felt that there was a possibility of collusion between officials and businessmen, and now before the meeting, the county lieutenant did not ask about the indiscriminate matter, and he wanted to arrest and punish the crime, and he was annoyed in his heart, this place is only half a day's journey away from Baling, and it is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an, which is still the land of Gyeonggi, so there is such a thing......

In anger, he ordered: "Wang Shen, take down this county lieutenant."

When Wang Shen heard what His Royal Highness said, he immediately rushed forward and put the long sword in his hand on the shoulder of this county lieutenant, who was going to play an official role, but he didn't want to be captured with a sword, so he immediately said: "I am a Han official, can you not rebel."

Liu Rong said: "Is this what the officials of the Han Dynasty are like? If you are an official but collude with profiteers, you should be beheaded according to the Han law! ”。

The county lieutenant was a little cowardly and said, "Who are you to talk like this?"

Liu Rong didn't want to say much to him, and said to Wang Shen: "You tell him who I am."

"This is, His Royal Highness Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor of today's son!".

The position of county lieutenant, Yu Lu is only a few hundred stones, where have you seen any prince, even if you are so frightened that your legs are weak and trembling, you kneel and kowtow and say, "Your Highness forgives me, the minister doesn't know that His Highness is coming, and I ask Your Highness to forgive your sins."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was so frightened that he almost lost his breath and collapsed to the ground, and all his subordinates knelt down and did not dare to say more.

Wang Shen said: "Your Highness, how to deal with it now."

Liu Rong took out a sword from his arms and put it on Wang Shen, and said: "This is Jinggi, it should be under the jurisdiction of the internal history, you take my festival to the inner history mansion of Chang'an, and report this matter to the internal history of Chao, and he will definitely deal with it."

…………………………………………………………………

Wang Shen had just left, when he saw a person in the wine house probing his brain to look at him, so he ordered the guards to summon him.

This person didn't hear what happened just now, and only then did he come to check when he heard some movement in the wine house, only to see a young man kneeling on the ground, and the wine house shopkeeper kept kneeling and kowtowing, so the strong man boldly said to Liu Rong: "Thank you for your help, and there will be a reward in the future."

Liu Rongqi said: "Why thank me."

"I passed by here some time ago, stayed here, and asked me for two gold the next day, and I couldn't get it out, so I was forced to work and rest here by this crowd, and I came here to thank you for saving your life."

Liu Rong saw that there was nothing to do, so he talked to this person and said, "I heard that Mr. Wen's accent is definitely not a person from Guanzhong, why did you come here."

This person sighed: "I am a person from Qidi, but because I offended people in Qidi, I wanted to try my luck in Chang'an, hoping to get the appreciation of an adult, and it would be good to be a guest."

"Then why did you fall here", Liu Rong asked again, "Hey, I only came here some time ago, and I felt unbearably hungry in my stomach, so I came here to eat, and I lived here at night, and I didn't want my money and property to be stolen, and the store actually asked for two gold, how could I ......get it?" said this person with a ashamed face.

"Dare to ask what the gentleman is called".

The man replied, "Call the Lord by his name."

"What kind of master father, the master father Yan who proposed the order of encouragement", Liu Rong thought to himself.

Of course, Liu Rong, the master's father, knows that this person is talented, but he is narrow-minded, and he will repay his teeth.

At that time, Liu Yu was reused for him and ordered him to go to Qi to be the prime minister, because the king of Qi was unwilling to marry his daughter, he took revenge on the king of Qi with personal grudges, and in less than a year he made the king of Qi commit suicide by poisoning......

Later, he went farther and farther on the road of suing, seeing one by one, and was finally exterminated by Liu Yu......

Liu Rong felt that although this person had some shortcomings, he was loyal to Liu Yu who reused him, and if he reused him, he would definitely repay his kindness......

Thinking of this, Liu Rong wanted to test whether this person had real talent and learning, so he asked, "Since Mr. wants to seek a job in Chang'an, he should be a talented person, and what does Mr. think is the ills of the Han family today."

The master father never thought that the person in front of him would ask such sharp words, but thinking that the young man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person, maybe this was an opportunity for him.

He replied: "In my humble opinion, the biggest defect of the Han family now lies in the princes and kings, and Emperor Gao thought that the reason for the death of Qin was because after the founding of Qin, only counties were established, and no clan relatives were divided into kings, resulting in no one to rescue when the Qin State was in crisis.

Therefore, after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the kings were divided, and then the white horse swore that it was not King Liu Bu, and now the power of the princes and kings is getting bigger and bigger, and the court decrees cannot be implemented in the princely states, if the power of the princes and kings is expanding, the Han family is in danger."
