Liu Che's hand was also clenched into a fist, and he waved it and said, "If one day, I can let them survive under the rule of the Great Han, it is my lifelong wish!" ”

Yan Ming said firmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, that day will not be too far away." ”

The two of them rode their horses and whipped all the way to the vast land of the Han Dynasty.

"Go to Pingyang, I plan to go to see Sister Pingyang, and then go back to Chang'an." Liu Che was in a good mood and decided to go back to Lizheng early.

"Good!" Yan Ming also hoped that he would return to Chang'an soon, so that he would not have to run around with him like this.

It's safe, but if there is an accident, your whole family's head will not be enough to cut off.

Pingyang Hou Cao Shou's name is very good, but it's a pity that he himself has nothing to do with this longevity word.

Cao Shou, who has been frail and sickly since birth, has been married to Princess Pingyang for many years, but he hasn't even come up with an heir. If his ancestor Cao Shen knew about it, he didn't know how to feel.

Yan Ming also finally figured out why there was always a sad look between the eyebrows of the dignified eldest princess of Pingyang. Any woman who is in her prime, with such a husband, will not be less sorrowful between her eyebrows!

Except, of course, for those who are born debauched.

Pingyang Hou supported the façade, except for the princess, only his huge mansion in the fiefdom was left!

The Pingyang Hou Mansion is very grand, much larger than the other courtyard in Chang'an.

Pingyang Hou, Yan Ming has never seen it, but Yan Ming admires Princess Pingyang very much. This woman is quiet, without half the breath of royal golden branches and jade leaves, but she exudes a somewhat admirable nobility.

Sometimes, Yan Ming even thought that if she didn't marry her sworn brother Wei Qing in the future, she would want to bring the princess over.

In this world, there are many scheming women, but there are very few scheming women who are not greedy or bad. It just so happens that Princess Pingyang is such a person.

The Pingyang Marquis Mansion, located in Pingyang City, is larger than the official mansion of Pingyang City.

The group stood outside the Pingyang Hou Mansion, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding passers-by.

Although they are regular clothes, everyone looks like they have an extraordinary temperament. Especially Yan Ming and Liu Che, at first glance, they are from brocade clothes and jade food, and they have a kind of lofty nobility.

"The Pingyang Marquis Mansion, since the time of Gaozu, has been a place where high-ranking officials come and go. So far, it has been many years, and I have not seen a noble person come and go. It wasn't until the princess got married that it was prosperous again. An old man on the opposite street said while weaving a straw mat on the side of the street.

A silly boy on the side looked at the group, his eyes full of envy.

"Boy, don't look at it, it's impossible for you to enter the Hou Mansion in your life." The old man gently tapped the silly boy with the rattan in his hand and smiled.

"Who said that?" The stupid kid suddenly stood up, patted the clothes on his body with his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't say that this Hou Mansion is the arsenal of Chang'an City, and we may not be able to afford it in the future!" ”

The old man saw that the stupid boy was talking in a loud tone, and he didn't talk to him for a while, but just smiled and shook his head. Such a half-sized man, who speaks wild words, he has seen a lot.

"Don't believe it, old man. My Nanyang Kong family, as long as you have money, you can afford anything. The silly boy raised his head and looked like he didn't care.

"Two stunned, and nonsense." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man walked over directly, and as soon as he raised his hand, he slapped the stupid boy on the back of the head.

"Brother, you're coming back so soon." Kong Er was stunned and rubbed his head and said with a smile.

"Let's go." The young man who was called Brother Only pulled him by the way, and the two of them headed towards the east.

Liu Che and Yan Ming listened to their conversation in their ears, and the two of them glanced at each other.

"This Nanyang Kong family is very arrogant." Liu Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a light smile.

Yan Ming nodded, Nanyang Kong family, he heard about it when he took over the iron smelting village. This family is not simple, I heard that it can also have something to do with Master Kong.

It's just that in today's society, there are fewer people who believe in Kong Laoer's set, and more people who believe in Huang Lao's technique. So having a relationship with Kong Lao Er didn't bring much of the aura of the protagonist to their family.

However, after their ancestors migrated to Nanyang County, they began to study iron smelting. Over time, the Kong family not only gained a foothold in Nanyang, but also became a big man.

"I am going to hand over the management of this iron tool to you. If you don't take it, I'll have to solve this problem. Liu Che's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

Yan Ming knew that what Kong Erzi said just now had angered the imperial power. Businessman, what he says is profit. But once you start to have contempt for the imperial power because you have money, you will suffer yourself.

Especially an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how could he make a merchant so arrogant? Thinking of this, Yan Ming not only laughed self-deprecatingly. When I first came to the Han Dynasty, I was still thinking about how to become a rich man.

But in this era, it is so backward. What you have mastered, just take out a little bit of it, and it can have the effect of turning decay into magic. Becoming rich is just a matter of a snap of a finger.

It's just that in the Han Dynasty, most of the wealthy merchants and important ministers did not die well. Thinking of this, Yan Ming felt a little chill all over his body.

Now I see that Liu Che is a gentle and elegant second-year young man who likes literature. But in a few years, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not look at the wolf and kill him.

"Let's see!" Yan Ming sighed.

There were some things he couldn't grasp more now. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who paid great attention to absorbing talents, but this emperor also had a saying about talents: "If you are useless, you will kill them." ”

Anyway, it's useless to keep it, so kill it.

If you want to mix well under his hands, then let yourself be useful all the time, and stay away from the center of power.

"Squeak-" The middle door of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, which was usually tightly closed, suddenly made a heavy sound, and then slowly opened.

A group of house slaves carried buckets, carried them and swept them all the way out.

The surrounding passers-by were shocked by the behavior of a group of house slaves in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and looked at the young knights outside, not knowing what big man was coming.

"Look, Cao Bao, the housekeeper of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, is standing respectfully with his head bowed on the side. I remember the last time Wu Anhou came, he also stepped forward to greet him, not like this grandson! A passer-by said.

"Could it be that the person who came this time is more noble than Wu Anhou?"

"Compared to Wu Anhou, there is only the prince who has been passed down from the ancestor lineage!"

A group of people guessed the identities of Liu Che and Yan Ming, but no one guessed about the emperor.

Seeing the house slave sprinkling and sweeping, Liu Che jumped off the horse.

Yan Ming and the others naturally jumped down. A guard had already come over and took their horses.

In the Hou Mansion, the sound of music sounded, the sound of silk and bamboo entered the ears, and the fragrance wafted in.

A nobleman, just followed by two maids, walked out quietly. [.]
