Chapter Seventy-Four: Tracing Back to the Source

Yun Lang was still confused when he came out of the house, but after arriving in Yanglingyi, things were already very clear.

Therefore, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this sentence is not false at all.

The reason why the nobles of the past generations have stood for a long time is here, when the new nobles are still stupidly ready to serve the emperor with a loyal heart, so as to end up as a prince of many generations, those old nobles are already doing things in the emperor's favor.

The results of these two methods of doing things are naturally different.

One is to take the initiative to solve the problem, the other is to passively accept fate, which is why the emperor always likes the new nobles, one is good to call, once the mistake is made, the new nobles are easier to deal with, unlike the old nobles who break the bones and will be connected to the tendons, it is far from enough to deal with a family.

There was a long queue at the gate of Chang'an City, but the largest number was not the Han people, but the Hu people's camel team.

Yun Lang sat on the horse and looked at the Hu people with a surprised look, Yun Lang finally understood where Liu Che's confidence in ordering the killing of the two thousand Hu people came from.

When Emperor Wen was in order to seize the people with the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other tribes were included in the country in large numbers, and the strategy was to defeat you, and I would integrate you!

Don't look at the strong savages of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan tribes, the relatively comfortable life of the Han is still what they dream of.

Over the years, there have suddenly been many strange-looking people walking in the Han country with Han surnames.

Cao Xiang, Yun Lang's family general, with the cooperation of the city gate officials, brutally drove away the Hu people who were queuing, some of the camel frames were overturned, and the dried fruits contained in them were sprinkled on the ground, although those Hu people were angry but restrained each other, and did not dare to resist.

A gold coin popped out of Yun Lang's hand, reflecting the golden light in mid-air and falling on the scattered dried fruits, Hu Ren, who was still angry just now, immediately quieted down, and bowed with his hands on his chest.

"You see, they know how to respect the superior more than us Han people."

Cao Xiang smiled: "Right? ”

Yun Lang said with a smile: "When the First Emperor traveled, Xiang Yu wanted to replace him, and Emperor Taizu Gao also thought so.

Like these Hu people, as long as you are a little fair to him, they will think that you should be the superior. ”

"You mean they're cheating?"

"At least before they integrate into my big man, I can use the trick of deceiving the people on them one more time."

Cao Xiang shook his head, he felt that Yun Lang was weird today, and there seemed to be a lot of resentment in his heart and nowhere to vent.

Came to Chang'an, the first person to visit was naturally Gongsun Hong, Yun Lang thought that this was a process, after all, when he was back at home last time, he made Gongsun Hong who came to visit very embarrassed, and this time he took the initiative to send it to the door to give him a chance to repay, which is also human nature.

Unexpectedly, after the simultaneous interpretation of the confessor, he soon saw Gongsun Hong's old face.

When the old guy saw Yunyin and Huo Guang coming, an old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he accepted Yunyin and Huo Guang's greetings affectionately, and when it was Yunlang and Cao Xiang's turn, he just snorted, and dragged Yunyin with one hand and Huo Guang into the Prime Minister's Mansion with the other.

The group entered the hall, and Gongsun Hong was just busy greeting Yunyin Huo Guang to eat snacks and drink honey, but Yun Lang and Cao Xiang didn't have a glass of white water in front of them.

It's still an old habit, Yun Lang was just about to speak, Gongsun Hong waved his hand and refused, and said coldly: "Misconduct, it will attract death, covet other people's beauty, and now they are in the middle of it, and people are driven like cattle and horses, who will complain?" ”

Yun Lang and Cao Xiang shook their heads in unison and said, "The only person who can make me and others who are so willing to be driven is His Majesty." ”

Gongsun Hong laughed and said: "Hahaha, the words are light, aren't you two Liu Ling's guests?" ”

Yun Lang Cao Xiang shook his head in unison again.

Gongsun Hong snorted coldly, took out a roll of bamboo slips from the pile of bamboo slips on the table, threw it in front of the two of them, and said: "The king of Changsha has just arrived in Beijing, and the first excerpt is to impeach you for being unscrupulous and insulting the palace concubine for no reason. ”

Cao Xiang picked up the bamboo slip and glanced at it, and then he was like thunder: "Which bastard thing is so climbing to slander Ben Hou, these days Ben Hou is going to Lin Yuan to supervise Taixue, how can there be such a thing!" ”

Gongsun Hong smiled yin and took back the bamboo slip from Cao Xiang's hand and said: "Yes or not, there will be a day when the truth will come out."

Did you come to the old man's house today to ask for help? ”

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "It's hard to say whether it's right or wrong now, but if you say yes or not, the next official thinks it's too right."

I have come today to ask for the sins of disrespect in the past, not to ask for help. “

Gongsun Hong sighed and looked at Yunyin and Huo Guangdao: "How innocent is the child, I just hope that you don't have to do whatever you want in the future, when the time comes, you will harm the innocent child, and you will also harm yourself, go, go, you can go wherever you want, you can find whoever you want, at least the old man's level is passed for the sake of the child's innocence." ”

After Gongsun Hong finished speaking, he went to the back hall, and immediately there were people standing outside the door waiting for Yunlang and Cao Xiang to leave on their own.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Lang dragged Huo Guang and Cao Xiang with Yun Yin around their necks, glanced at each other, and then laughed loudly, laughing so violently that the two children were very scared.

It was not easy to stop laughing, Cao Xiang sent Yunyin into the carriage and said: "In the past, this kind of favor was done by our brothers, but now this old dog has a different flavor when he says it first." ”

Yun Lang wiped away the tears that came out of laughter and said, "But I also know from his mouth that His Majesty still trusts our brother and will not target us."

However, I think I may not be able to run away after being scolded. ”

Cao Xiang nodded, looked at the majestic and tall palace and suddenly said: "I'll go into the palace now, you take the children to Honglu Temple, I'll go to explore the wind first, my uncle is now very scary, if I am beaten, his anger may be half less, then you go to the audience again, maybe it will be fine." ”

Yun Lang smashed his mouth and said, "Why don't you go to Zhang Tang to listen to the tone again?" ”

Cao Xiang shook his head and said: "Since we stepped into Chang'an City, our whereabouts have been mastered by my uncle, hundreds of officials enter Beijing, first go to meet the prime minister, this is where the etiquette lies, if we go to Zhang Tang again, it is selfish."

Instead of being suspicious, it is better to go directly to my uncle, so that you can avoid two kicks. ”

"In that case, let's go together."

Cao Xiang smiled bitterly: "Since you are willing to be beaten with me, then go ahead, endure it when you get to the place, my uncle likes to scold people before beating people, and the last time he scolded me for "entering your mother", I don't know how his own sister entered the law!" ”

Yun Lang patted Cao Xiang's shoulder with pity, Emperor Liu was born with a love of scolding, this is a bad habit inherited from Emperor Taizu Gao, after all, you can't expect a former ruffian to say such elegant scolding in an angry situation!

Cao Xiang was ranked as the Marquis of Che, because he wanted to avoid Liu Che's word for the Thorough, changed to the Marquis of Tong, or the Marquis of Lie, which was the highest level of the marquis, and Pingyang County was actually the marquis of his family, although he did not have the power of life and death, but he had a great say in taxes and servitude.

Yunlang is just the Marquis of Guannei, with the title of Yongan County, but there is no such thing as Hou Guo, he only takes 20% of Yong'an County's taxes every year, and does not care about the rest, unlike Cao Xiang, who can do whatever he wants in Pingyang County.

When they were messing around together on weekdays, there was not much difference between Chehou and Kannaihou, and no one paid attention to this.

When he came to the gate of the palace, it was very obvious that Cao Xiang, the marquis of Che, actually had a carriage to ride and go directly to Changle Palace.

And you don't need to pass it on to meet the emperor.

Yun Lang, the worthless Guan Neihou, is different, even the crotch of his pants was groped by the eunuch before he was allowed to enter the palace.

The only convenience is that you can wear a short sword, and the sword on your waist does not need to be taken down, but it is stuck by the palace guards with a kind of circlip, which can only be used as a ceremonial sword, and loses the function of the sword to assassinate and defend against the enemy.

Cao Xiang put the two children into the carriage, he and Yun Lang followed the carriage, speaking of which, this is the second time Yun Lang has entered the palace, and he is still amazed by these buildings.

Yun Yin and Huo Guang were even more happy, sitting in the carriage and chattering non-stop.

In order to prevent assassins, there was not a single tree in this palace, only a few sparse flower trees decorated it, especially a few pomegranate trees that were blooming, which made Yun Lang very envious, and it was about to bear fruit.

Zhang Qian has brought a lot of good things from the Western Regions over the years, and these pomegranate trees are among the best.

"Can you dig up a few of this?" Yun Lang asked Cao Xiang in a low voice.

The eunuch who led the way glanced back at Yun Lang, and was kicked on the ass by Cao Xiang and fell on a big horse.

Then I heard Cao Xiang say angrily: "What are you doing listening to our brother?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly got up from the ground, took two steps, stood in front of the carriage, and did not dare to look back.

"The flowers and trees here are naturally not dug up, and there are still a lot of them planted in the back garden, so I went to ask for them when I left, and it was really strange that you liked something."

"You know a fart, this thing is a very good fruit, these pomegranate trees should bear fruit this year, you can get a few when the time comes, make sure you like it."

"Okay, let's do it! When the time comes, it will be planted all over the world! ”

He started drinking early in the morning, and only Liu Che could do this kind of thing.

When Cao Xiang and Yun Lang stepped on the steps of Changle Palace, they heard the sound of drum music, and without waiting to listen carefully to the music, a group of eunuchs with black gauze crowns ran out of Changle Palace, and took Yun Yin and Huo Guang away without saying a word.

Sui Yue stood on the top of the steps, shook the dust in his hand and shouted in a sharp voice: "Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, Yong'an Hou Yunlang to see you-"

The four eunuchs pushed open the tall portal of Changle Palace, and the sunlight spilled into Changle Palace at once.

After Yunlang Cao Xiang finished the ceremony, Liu Che, who was lying on the brocade couch, gently shook the red wine syrup in the jade cup, and asked lazily, "Who told you?" ”
