Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said in "Song of the Gourd": "My mountain is flat and the wilderness is overflowing. ”

Juyeze is located between Liang Song and Qilu, is a large reservoir in the upper reaches of the water, hundreds of miles in radius, the mountains and rivers are deep, the shrubs and forests are reckless, in the troubled times, it is the place where the grass falls and the grass such as Peng Yue and so on, and when the world is peaceful, it becomes the private garden of the king of Changyi to hunt.

In late April, the giant field is full of hundreds of horses, the flag covers the sun, the wildfire is also like a cloud, the sound of the tiger howls like thunder, Liu He, the king of Changyi, comes here for a few days, it doesn't matter if the hunt is already boring, the nobles of the Han Dynasty will have fun.

There is a large open space outside the Juno Ze Imperial Palace, which is surrounded by a wooden fence and forms a large circle for several miles, and a watchtower is set up to make people stand on it, and what they watch is the scene of galloping in the field.

Gallop originated from the Warring States period of Tian Qi, the story of Tian Ji horse racing is well known, to the Han Dynasty, the development of galloping and galloping horses, when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty inspected the tomb, he wanted to personally drive down Junhan to find the excitement, was stopped by the minister Yuan Ang pulling the bridle.

Today in Changyi country, no one can stop Liu He, the king of Changyi, from going into battle in person and enjoying the happiness of speeding at high speed.

But I saw that the far ahead in the field was a chariot pulled by four white horses, and the emperor wearing a knight's uniform was Liu He's favorite slave "Shan", and his driving skills were exquisite. The king of Changyi himself sat in the back, he was only eighteen years old, tall and obviously a nobleman, but his face was blackened by the sun, his eyes were small, his nose was pointed and low, and his beard was few. He either looked back to see how far the people behind him were, or pointed to the end of the way:

"Hurry up! Faster! ”

Liu He's father died at a young age, and his mother died soon after, and was raised by the servants of the king of Changyi, who often cried when he was young, and no matter how he coaxed, the slaves finally found that when he took the young master to the speeding car, he actually burst into tears and laughed.

As he grew older, Liu He showed a side that was very similar to his grandfather, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, he couldn't be idle, and often led people to gallop in the feudal country, and he went to more than 20 counties, but he still liked the beautiful Onozawa the most.

However, Liu He's happy time soon ended, and he rode into the middle of the car despite the guards' obstruction, shouting loudly in the dusty racing track to stop Liu He.

Liu He was a little unhappy at first, but when he saw that it was Lieutenant Wang Ji, he hurriedly patted the big slave Shan: "Stop, it's Wang Ziyang who is here." ”

This lieutenant from Langya Confucianism would really rush over and pull his horse bridle.

After Wang Ji came over, Liu He didn't wait for him to speak, so he took the initiative to get out of the car and admit it:

"The last time the widow was less than half a day, he drove two hundred miles in the country with his relatives, and the lieutenant admonished the widow, saying that in ancient times, the army traveled thirty miles a day. It means that the wind is not the wind of the road in ancient times, and the speed of driving is not the car of the road in ancient times. The widow galloped outside, so that the people stopped farming and raising silkworms, and built roads and horses, which really shouldn't be. ”

He pointed to the vast racecourse and said triumphantly:

"Now that the widow has learned his lesson, he will not gallop on the road, but only draw a circle and run the horse on the bank of Onozawa, so that he will not delay the farming work, right?"

However, Wang Ji sighed and said, "Aren't the people who were recruited to repair the site and build the watchtower when the farm was busy?" The king does not love the scriptures and takes pleasure in ease, since he was a child, he likes to sit in the car and run endlessly, braving the fog and frost in the morning, covering the dust during the day, being exposed to the scorching sun in the summer, and being attacked by the wind and cold in the winter, making him exhausted, and his body is gradually emaciated......"

He looked at Liu He's sweaty face and said, "My face is also tanned, this is not a good way to preserve my life, let alone a good way to improve benevolence and righteousness." ”

Then there was a remonstrance to Liu He to "test the style of benevolence and sage, and practice the way of governing the country".

Wang Ji combined his own experience and said: "Reading can make people angry and forget to eat, and the joy of the day can be compared with the joy of chariots and horses?" ”

However, Liu He had a headache when he thought of the Shangshu taught by the young master Xiahou Shengjiao, learning could not make him happy, and he was talented in playing, he was a frank layman.

Although the young king of Changyi did not follow the usual ways, he was not incapable of listening to people's words, and the king who violently refused to admonish, especially Wang Ji, was very polite and respectful, only nodded and admitted his mistake, and ordered:

"The widow is young, and it is inevitable that there will be something wrong with doing things, and Lieutenant Wang Ji is loyal and has repeatedly assisted the widow to change his ways. Young Master Xiahou told the story of King Qi Wei to Lone, and the ministers and the people were rewarded for their ability to stab the widow in the face. The confessor went to the kitchen to get 500 catties of beef, 5 stones of wine, and 5 bunches of dried meat, and gave them to the lieutenant as a reward! ”

"Beef!?" Wang Ji was shocked and lowered his voice: "The king killed the cow again?" ”

In order to protect the cultivated cattle, in the Han Dynasty, it was illegal to kill cattle, and the princes did not kill the cattle for no reason, unless they encountered a solemn sacrifice.

Liu He hurriedly denied it: "It's a bison, a wild buffalo in Onozawa, and a few people hunted it." ”

Wang Ji sighed again and re-entered the admonition mode: "The king, when today's son is benevolent and sage, he still misses Emperor Xiaowu and does not dare to slack off. ”

"Weiwei, Young Master Xiahou also persuaded the widow like this, and the widow will be more restrained in the future."

Liu He didn't understand the meaning of the words, and knew that the way to silence the lieutenant was to quickly admit his mistake, and then asked why Wang Ji was here suddenly.

Wang Ji asked Liu He to go to the left and right where no one was, and then reported: "The envoy of Chang'an has come to the country, holding the seal book, and the king must return to the palace to open it." ”

"Seal book?"

Liu He was surprised: "Why did the court suddenly send an envoy here, it was not time to enter the court to offer money, and the widow did not make a mistake." ”

Isn't it just galloping a little more and killing dozens of cows with greed? Although hunting is fun, the meat of the beast is hard and sassy, and how can beef be delicious.

Liu He's favorite thing is to have his servants cut the shoulder meat of the calf into thin slices like cicada wings, and eat it with dipping sauce in a bronze cookware called "Wen Ding", which is the most beautiful in the world.

Thinking of eating, Liu He suddenly became worried: "Could it be that he came to ask the guilty widow!" Will it be like Gao Hou did with Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and chop the widow into meat sauce? ”

Losing his parents since he was a child made Liu He very insecure, and he had to be surrounded by those trusted servants and close ministers in order to feel at ease. What's more, some old slaves also vaguely mentioned to him that the first king died suddenly and violently at a young age, and died a little strangely, which made Liu He not only indulge in the chase, but also have worries about the near future.

"Don't worry, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Speaking is Changyi Guoxiang An Le, he is only more than forty years old, and he is also wearing a galloping suit, Liu He is afraid of Wang Ji, but he likes An Le, because An Le rarely admonishes, more obedient and indulgent, and can even compete with him.

An Le asked Wang Ji: "Lieutenant, what is the identity of the envoys who came to Changyi Kingdom?" ”

Wang Ji said: "Zuo Fengyi is also the great Honglu Shi Tian Guangming, Zongzheng Liu De, Guanglu Doctor Bingji, and ...... Zuo Zhonglang General, Xi'an Hou Renhong. ”

Liu He suddenly became energetic: "Is it the Xi'an Marquis who has a holiday with the Prime Minister?" ”

An Le was also a little surprised, but immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "However, it is the Marquis of Xi'an, who was arrogant when he got married and did not accept the king's congratulatory gift." ”

At the beginning, he said that Liu He's He Jin was his own, and after Ren Hong refused, he sued him, wanting the king of Changyi to hate this person. He also asked the servant to pay a generous gift to visit Mrs. Huo Xian, who hated the Marquis of Xi'an, Huo Xian hated Ren Hong because of Ren Hong's refusal to marry, as long as he could disgust the little son's affairs, he was very supportive, but he promised to protect and be happy.

Wang Ji was solemn and criticized: "This matter is the king's inappropriateness, the princes really can't accept the gifts of the princes in private, the minister of state, the matter is very important, now is not the time to talk about personal grievances." ”

He looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Xiahou said that the specifications of this envoy are exactly the same as when Jianghou and Chen Chengxiang sent people to recruit Emperor Xiaowen into Chang'an!" ”

Liu He hadn't reacted yet, but An Le's eyes were full of surprise.

"That's right!"

An Le clapped his hands and said: "I have long heard that the Son of Heaven is not in good health, and among the princes, there is no one closer to him than the king. If there is an accident, who else is the person who is mourned, except for the king? ”

Liu He didn't understand it, and even felt that this matter was troublesome, and muttered: "Even if the Son of Heaven dies, why do you have to go to the funeral, King Guangling?" He's an uncle. ”

An Le could only tell Liu He directly: "King, the Son of Heaven has no queen, and the person who mourns is the heir." ”

"Huh!?"

Liu He suddenly realized, and his face was also happy, and his expression froze for several seconds before muttering: "There can be such a good thing, no wonder I often have strange dreams these days." ”

Wang Ji couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped the pair of monarchs and ministers: "The matter has not yet been decided, the king should go back to China with me immediately, what is the matter, you will know as soon as you open the seal." ”

"That's right, that's right."

Liu He's interest in galloping was gone, and a higher level of happiness was waiting for him, so he ordered: "Prepare the horse immediately, the best horse, travel two hundred miles a day, you must rush back today!" ”

I promised Wang Ji not to run on the road in the future, but I forgot about it.

Liu He hurriedly went to change his clothes, and Wang Ji was still chasing after him and begging to be more restrained later.

And the confessor Qianqiu, who served by Liu He's side, approached thoughtful Anle: "Prime Minister of State, the court knows that Ren Hong has an enmity with you, but appoints him as an envoy, what does this mean?" ”

An Le couldn't understand that in order to be protected by Mrs. Huo, he had given gifts and gold silks, but he still couldn't sleep peacefully, but now he suddenly had another backer by his side, and he was immediately relieved.

He has a feeling of pie falling from the sky, among the ministers of Changyi, Liu He is closest to himself: "If our guess is correct, the king really wants to enter Chang'an to succeed the emperor, I am the head of the heroes of the Qiandi, just like Zhang Wu and Song Chang of Emperor Xiaowen, I want to be a marquis or even worship the prime minister!" ”

An Le sneered: "Now it's not time for me to be afraid of Ren Hong, it's time for him to be afraid of me!" ”

After saying that, An Le thought of the reason why the Huo family deliberately sent Ren Hong as a messenger, and said:

"I know, this may be what Mrs. Huo meant, let me find fault with this son on the way to Chang'an, and then I can find a reason to take his throne!"
