Chapter 215: Sweet Springs Escape from the Summer II
When he arrived in the big tent, Liu Rongdang even ordered the king to send a meal.
After finishing speaking, he also said to Gillian sitting next to him: "We will be able to eat later."
And Chen Ajiao nodded obediently on the side.
After a while, I saw Wang Sheng walking to the palace and saluting: "Your Highness, Your Majesty will give you food and let Your Highness use it."
After he finished speaking, there were several attendants and took several food dings.
When the attendant took off the lid of the ding, Liu Rong realized that the meat cooked in the ding was actually beef.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, horses were hard to find, and princes and princes used ox carts to travel.
But this does not mean that there is no shortage of cattle in the Han family.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult to find a ploughing ox in an ordinary village, and even at this time, there was still a big shortage of ploughing cattle.
Solidly, if you leave the ban early, from the ministers and courtiers to the ordinary people, they are not allowed to eat ploughing cattle.
There is only such a palace called Shaofu, and there are cattle specially raised for the royal family, which are only for the palace to eat.
At this moment, pork is not high-grade meat at all, as long as it is a rich family, they all disdain to eat pork, they are all mutton, and the rest of the poultry like chickens and ducks are the mainstay.
However, Shaofu seems to be an ordinary yamen, but it is an unusually large institution.
The emperor's mausoleum of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties was responsible for the Shaofu, as well as the repair of the palace.
However, the responsibility of the Shaofu is not only this, but its own job is to arrange the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the Son of Heaven in all aspects, so the Shaofu Order can also be said to be the steward of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing the steaming beef in Dingzhong, Gillian may have been really hungry, so she went to get the meat in Dingzhong herself.
Seeing Gillian like this, Liu Rong smiled, and stretched out his hand to stop: "Gillian be careful, don't move first, let the waiter divide the meat before eating."
As soon as Liu Rong said this, Gillian stopped what she was doing.
And when the waiter filled the meat and brought the hot beef to her, Gillian immediately took a short blade on the table, cut it off piece by piece, cut it into thin slices, first put it into her mouth, and ate a few bites beautifully, and then, as if she remembered that Liu Rong on the side had not eaten yet, she took a short blade, forked a piece of beef, sent it to Liu Rong's mouth, and said with a smile: "The prince's cousin also eats."
Liu Rong sighed at this time, this "snack goods" finally noticed his cousin.
Eating the meat handed over by Gillian, Liu Rong smiled and said, "Then thank you cousin."
After speaking, he touched Gillian's cute little head again.
After letting her cousin eat it, Chen Ajiao couldn't care about anything else, and sent the cut beef into her mouth one by one.
Seeing this situation, the attendants on the side, naturally with eyes, immediately brought out a plate of beef for His Royal Highness the Prince, put it in front of Liu Rong, and said very nervously: "Your Highness...... Your Highness forgives your sins".
Liu Rong had never seen Gillian eat like this, and when he heard the attendant's words, he just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault."
In this way, it didn't take long for Liu Rong and Chen Ajiao's dinner to run out.
After eating, Liu Rong said to Gillian: "At this time, it is getting late, but I have just eaten food, it is not suitable to sit for a long time, Gillian and my cousin go to walk outside the camp, okay?" ”。
For Chen Ajiao, a little girl, everything that Cousin Liu Rong said is feasible.
The prince and Chen Ajiao wanted to leave the camp, and naturally no one dared to stop them.
However, Gongsun He, as the "guard" of the imperial palace, is naturally responsible for protecting the safety of the prince.
In this wilderness, it is really rare to meet a person.
However, in this kind of place, there are often jackals, tigers and leopards, if the prince suffers the slightest damage, not to mention Gongsun He, even his father, Pingqu Hou Gongsun Hun is absolutely unaffordable.
In this way, Gongsun He led dozens of soldiers with torches, sharp blades at their waists, and strong bows and crossbows on their backs.
In order not to disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Chen Weng, Gongsun He even ordered these dozens of soldiers to spread out in a zigzag shape, whether it was the distance between the front and back, or the distance between the left and right, they were all dozens of steps away from Liu Rong and Gillian to protect the safety of the two.
The night was completely devoid of the heat of the day, and when I looked up at the stars in the sky, I was emotional.
The ancients believed that everything in the world is contained in the celestial phenomena, life and death are contained in the celestial phenomena, misfortune and fortune are contained in the celestial phenomena, fortune is contained in the celestial phenomena, the past is contained in the celestial phenomena, and the future is contained in the celestial phenomena............
The obsession of the ancients with all kinds of astrological phenomena is incomprehensible to people today.
In modern science, the phenomenon of "staying" in the heart is called the glowing mind.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Chu Hui destroyed Chen, and he was confused and guarded. However, Song Jinggong was half frightened to death, thinking that he was going to be finished, this was a warning from heaven. So he hurriedly asked Si Xingziwei and said, "Will you move the disaster to Xiangguo?"
"Xiangguo is my few, how can it be so."
"Then it will be transferred to the people?"
Jing Gong said: "The people are the foundation of the king."
"How about the years?"
Jing Gong said: "If the age is not good, the people will be poor, who else will I be the monarch!" ”。 Si Xingziwei said: "These three words of yours with the virtue of a monarch may be heard by the heavens, and the confusion should be removed." So they waited for a while, and sure enough, they moved three degrees.
However, the closest time to the Han Dynasty was to guard the heart, and the natural warning was that in the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor, Mars invaded the heart, and this celestial phenomenon symbolized the emperor's disaster. There was a meteorite that fell in Dongjun and turned into a stone after landing, and some people carved on that stone "The first emperor died and the land was divided".
When Qin Shi Huang heard about it, he sent the imperial historian to inquire from house to house, but no one confessed, so he arrested and killed all the people living around the stone and burned the meteorite.
However, the ancients' obsession with the stars was not only so, but also reflected in all aspects of life.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it was mentioned more than once that Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others would watch the stars at night.
For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang once said: "Watching the sky at night, Liu Biao will die soon; Liu Zhang is not the master of the business: he will return to the general after a long time. ”。
Or what, "I watched the sky at night, and saw that the stars were falling in the land of Jingchu, and I knew that Yun Chang would inevitably be troubled, but I was afraid that the king was worried, so I didn't dare to speak."
At the time of the Tang Dynasty, the laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that those who studied astronomy privately were guilty of the same crime as murder and rape, and they would not be given the opportunity to turn themselves in. Because they believe that those who understand the heavens must have the ability to disturb the world, in other words, they will threaten the imperial power, so they will be ruthless in attacking such dangerous factors that are not within the scope of surveillance.

However, Liu Rong, as a "five-good young man" with a modern scientific education, scoffs at all astrological miscellaneous.
In Liu Rong's belief, there is only one sentence, that is, man will conquer the sky!
However, even if you don't believe in the astrological things, you can use them.
Emperor Cheng can use the theory of astrology to overthrow his ministers and relatives in one fell swoop, and regain power by himself, why can't he use it!!
On this midsummer night, in this uninhabited wilderness, Chen Ajiao didn't feel scared at all.
kept frolicking back and forth around Liu Rong, trying to reach out and grab the fireflies that flashed in the air.
Maybe he was tired of running, so he turned his head to look at Liu Rong, only to find that his cousin of the crown prince seemed to be looking up at the sky in a daze.
In this way, Gillian hurriedly came to Liu Rong's side and asked, "What is the prince's cousin looking at?"
Hearing this, Liu Rong came back to his senses, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just feel that there are so many stars in the sky this night."
At this time, Chen Ajiao, who held Liu Rong's hand, also said: "What the prince's cousin said is that so many stars are really beautiful."
After a while, Liu Rong said: "It's been some time since I came out, so let's go back to the camp."
In this way, holding Chen Ajiao's little hand, Liu Rong and Gillian returned to the camp with a smile and a smile.
On the second day, when the sky was just dawning, Liu Rong got up at the urging of Wang Sheng.
After freshening up, Liu Rong immediately went to Chen Ajiao's tent, "Has your master ever woken up", Liu Rong asked.
When the maid heard this, she immediately bowed and said, "Return to His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Weng...... Before the lord of the man woke up, the slave and maid entered the account and went to call the lord of the king."
…………………………………………………………
After a while, Gillian came out of the tent.
As soon as he saw Liu Rong, he said: "Cousin Ann! ”。
Looking at the sleepy-eyed Chen Ajiao, Liu Rong smiled and said, "An, Gillian slept well last night."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gillian to reply, he took her to breakfast with her.
In the Han Dynasty, there was not much to eat for breakfast, and both of them drank a bowl of boiled thick corn porridge, ate some side dishes, and some seasonal fruits in summer.
In a short time, it was time to continue the camp.
Sitting on the car, Liu Rong said to Gillian: "At the current speed, you can get to Ganquan Palace before night." It's just that there should be no rest on this road."
Sure enough, as Liu Rong said, the car drove all the way, and at night, it was finally at Ganquan Palace.
After getting out of the carriage, the first thing Liu Rong had to do was, of course, to visit his father first.
After instructing Gillian a few words, she hurriedly went to the main hall of Ganquan Palace.
Not to mention, Ganquan Mountain is really a good place to escape the heat, since he got out of the car, Liu Rong could feel that there was indeed a cool and moist wind blowing on this mountain.
Compared to the unbearable heat in Chang'an City, not to mention how comfortable it is.
When I arrived outside the main hall, I naturally saw the ministers of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors who had arrived early.
"The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince", everyone saluted Liu Rong under the leadership of Zhou Yafu.
"It doesn't have to be like this, the Qingqing family is quick and free of courtesy", Liu Rong saluted.
However, not long after, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, came here.
I saw a messenger walking outside the hall and saying, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”。
In this way, everyone naturally stood up and entered the temple in a proper manner.
"Your Majesty!" , the ministers bowed.
And I saw that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said with a smile: "This is not when it is in the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, the secretaries don't have to be so polite, so don't be polite."
"Your Majesty Xie", saluted Liu Qi, and everyone knelt down in the seats on both sides of the hall.
