The palace is divided into two palaces, north and south.

The Long Live Hall is located in the middle of the North Palace, second only to the Deyang Palace, and Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, likes to summon some businessmen here to learn their business experience.

There are four gates of the same name in the same direction in the north and south palaces, and the south one is called Suzaku Gate; The one on the east side is called Canglongmen; the one to the north is the Xuanwu Gate; The west side is the White Tiger Gate, because the Son of Heaven Liu Hong likes to enter and exit the Vermilion Bird Gate, so this gate is the most noble, and the building is also extraordinarily majestic.

"Huo, this is the Suzaku Gate?" Walking on the compound road between the Suzaku Gate and the Xuanwu Gate, you can see the gate of the Suzaku Gate from afar. High, really high, like connected to the sky.

Cao Shuo's heart throbbed and muttered to himself. "It is worthy of being recorded in ancient books - the palace gate that can be seen from afar in Yanshi City, forty or fifty miles away. Sure enough, majestic! ”

Suddenly, Cao Shuo paused and shook his head. "It's a pity that in history, such a magnificent palace was born a few years later... I was burned by that damn Li Ru... It's a pity! ”

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a sense of loss.

"Little guy..."Cao Jie, who was beside Cao Shuo, hurriedly urged. Don't be in a daze, Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the Hall of Thousand Autumns..."

It turned out that His Majesty wanted to see Xiao Cao Shuo, and Cao Jie hurriedly went to Cao Mansion to pick up Cao Shuo, but he never thought about it... Cao Shuo, who was young at a young age, looked east and west in this Luoyang Palace, looking curious and lingering, which was a bad Cao Festival.

Cao Shuo was of course curious.

Anyone who studies history, who doesn't want to use the knowledge in books and the real history to corroborate each other, such as... Historically, there is a roof-covered double road connection between the north and south palaces, and it has been verified that this is true.

As for the so-called compound road, there are three roads in the record, the middle one is the emperor's exclusive imperial road, and the two sides are the side roads taken by ministers and attendants.

Well, it's a little different. For example, the current Cao Jie took Cao Shuo away, which is the emperor's exclusive royal road in the middle, and Cao Shuo can't figure it out, is it because of Cao Jie's noble status?

Of course, what Cao Shuo didn't know was that this was specially explained by Liu Hong, the son of heaven, who had special feelings and good feelings for businessmen, so he set a rule that businessmen could take the royal road. Who would have thought? Known as the "lower nine streams", among the scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, the merchants at the end of the social status have a very noble status in the palace!

On the compound road, set up a guard every ten steps, stand on the side of the two compartments, very mighty, the north palace Vermilion Bird Gate and the South Palace Xuanwu Gate are opposite to each other - the so-called, the two palaces look at each other from afar, more than 100 feet of double que.

"My little ancestor, don't look at it!" Cao Jie grabbed Cao Shuo's little hand. "I'm afraid the Son of Heaven is in a hurry...", he hurriedly reminded, for fear of delaying the business.

Cao Shuo retracted his mind, it can't be regarded as a tour of the mountains and rivers..."Grandpa Cao Jie, let's go!" Go and see Your Majesty. ”

"Listen up, little one." Cao Jie's expression was serious, he squatted down, and did not forget to give a word. "I'll see Your Majesty later, whatever Your Majesty asks, whatever Your Majesty likes to hear, you can answer, don't be like your stunned father Cao Cao, Your Majesty doesn't like to listen to anything, just talk about it!"

Understand!

Young Cao Cao, he has the idea of being the emperor's assistant and the pillar of the country, but he doesn't understand the rules of officialdom, he runs into walls everywhere, and he is more disappointed than proud before the age of thirty-three. This is also the reason why the scholar group has been fighting with the eunuch group for so many years, and they have not tasted a victory, they are too straight and do not know how to turn and adapt!

Thinking of this, Cao Shuo nodded. Cao Jie was relieved at this time, let the little yellow gate lead the way, and walked quickly towards the Qianqiu Long Live Palace after the Vermilion Bird Gate.

……

……

Changqiu Palace.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is the pavilion where the queen lives, the supreme phoenix.

There is a saying that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and Queen He, who is sitting upright in the Changqiu Palace, is very happy these days, and even dreams at night, she wakes up with a smile.

He Lian was promoted from Jieyu to queen, although it was only a level, but this level was separated, and the gap between them was a world of difference.

What's more, happy events continue, it doesn't take long for Queen He's son Liu Wei to stay in the people for six years and six months, and he can return to the palace.

……

"Sister, sister..."

Suddenly, a rough voice came from outside the gate of Changqiu Palace, and the sound of heavy "stepping" footsteps rose one after another, which seemed to be a little out of order.

"Brother?" Queen He Lian didn't mean to blame at all, looking up, couldn't it be his half-brother He Jin who came from afar?

Speaking of this He Jin, he was born as a butcher, lost his mother first, and then married his father, and had a son and two daughters, the eldest daughter is the current queen - He Lian.

In the early years, his father died, and the young He Jin relied on killing pigs to raise a family of five, including his stepmother, younger brother and younger sister. Subsequently, He Lian was elected to the palace, became a nobleman, favored by Liu Hong, the son of heaven, He Jin also rose to prominence, was worshiped as Langzhong, He Jin recognized Zhao Zhong, one of the ten permanent servants, as his godfather, step by step, promoted to Tiger Ben Zhonglang General.

Now that my sister He Lian has become the queen of the Han Dynasty, the He family is full of glory, and she has suddenly become a relative with authority.

People, once they have rights, it's easy to turn their faces and deny people, originally He Jin regarded Zhao Zhong as his godfather, but now? Where do you need to rely on the Ten Permanent Attendants? As a result, the relationship between his cousin He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants was not harmonious.

But well, it doesn't matter, my sister is angry, not to mention what exotic means are used, anyway, this supreme phoenix position is in hand, where do the ten permanent servants dare to provoke him?

"Brother? So flustered? But where is the argument? What's wrong? Empress He welcomed He Jin into the gate and asked eagerly.

"Sister! It's indeed a matter of debate..."He Jin panted, took a big sip of water, and was smooth.

Not!

Queen He Lian is most concerned about her son Liu Wei.

, I don't know who proposed it? The infant prince was fostered in the hands of a folk Taoist, which is nothing. His Majesty even ordered that for six years and six months, no one in the palace could contact or visit, which made He Lian almost collapse. She only secretly instructed her brother He to go in and occasionally take a look at Wei'er and bring the news back to the palace.

Over the years, as long as He Jin entered the palace, most of them were for this matter, this time, he was in such a hurry? I'm afraid something big has happened!

"Sister!" After taking a big sip of water, He Jin said: "Just yesterday, Bian'er was lifted up by a strong man and was about to be smashed to the ground. ”

"What?"

All of a sudden, Empress He's face became as white as paper. "Who? Who is so bold? Elder brother? You... Didn't you save the son? ”

panicked, Queen He's appearance became very panicked.

"My brother wants to save it, is it possible to save it? Your Majesty has an edict, who dares to contact the prince Liu Wei privately, it will be a loss of head... Brother, brother can't do anything. He Jin spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Then you can't ignore it, right?" He Lian is still to blame. "And now? How's the debate? Is it hurt? Still is... Or..."

She didn't dare to imagine the consequences, for fear of this consequence, she couldn't accept it, this is her own flesh and blood, this is the future son of the Han!

"Sister, don't panic, although I can't save it, but... But someone saved the debate! He Jin hurriedly explained.

"Who?" Originally, Queen He, who looked like she was about to burst into tears with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, "Who is it?" Who saved the debate? ”

"It's the young grandson of the Cao family, called... What is Cao Shuo's name, by the way, he was the one who hoarded Hu weapons a few days ago, and I heard that he made a lot of money! ”

"Hmm... It's him? Empress He's face was pale.

Cao Shuo, the name... This time often pops up in her mind, and it seems... It was this Cao Shuo who sold her Hu clothes and Hu utensils; During this time, "Hu Feng" struck, and the most rumored in the palace was also the hoarding of this little guy, and I heard that he also made a lot of money; How... Even, yesterday, was he the one who saved the debate?

Suddenly, Queen He felt that she was very close to this little guy named Cao Shuo...

"Brother, how did this Cao Shuo save the debate, you can tell me in detail." The corners of Queen He's mouth opened slightly, and she finally showed a smile, after all, she saved her own son, and she still felt gratitude.

"Well." He Jin patted his head. "Actually... Then Cao Shuo didn't do anything? It was with money and a big bag of gold that saved the debate. ”

Not? Gold!

Yes, this little guy Cao Shuo seems to be - not bad for money!
