When Liu Che first heard that the Empress Dowager was going to transfer the northern army to Chang'an, he immediately thought that he might have been deceived by his aunt and mother-in-law again. After listening to the second half of the inner servant's words, his heart suddenly became happy again, and it could be seen from this incident that someone had said good things in Changle Palace, and the Empress Dowager would hand over the military power to him, and the military power was something that the emperor dreamed of.

After the waiter finished speaking, Liu Che pretended to pick up a volume of music and asked casually: "Okay, I know, after I left today, who went to Changle Palace?" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is the eldest princess of Guantao, as well as the imperial historian Zhuang Qingzhai, and the Lang Su Ren!" ”

"Su Ren?"

"Yes! It was the imperial historian Zhuang Qingzhai who brought Su Ren there. ”

Liu Che nodded: "Go back and report to the Empress Dowager, I will definitely handle things well and never live up to the trust of the imperial grandmother!" ”

After sending the chamberlain of Changle Palace, Liu Che immediately threw down the bamboo slips, happily paced back and forth in the room, turned around two or three times, and hurriedly ordered: "Go, find Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi, I want to discuss important matters with them!" ”

Su Ren came home slowly, and the people at home were in a hurry. Everyone knows that Su Ren and Liu Concubine do not deal with each other, the Empress Dowager is Liu Concubine's mother, no one knows what she is doing in Changle Palace, and no one knows what will happen. Seeing Su Ren enter the door, Sima Xiangru hurriedly greeted him.

"You're finally back, nothing happened, right?"

Su Ren saw the posture in the lobby, and hurriedly saluted Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang: "Let the two gentlemen worry, the kid is fine!" ”

"It's okay!" Wen Dang nodded.

Dong Zhongshu frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"The Empress Dowager asked the kid about Chang'an's Haoqiang, and asked the kid to think of a way!"

"How did you answer?"

"The kid told the truth, if you want to stabilize Chang'an, you must expel Haoqiang!"

"Eviction? How dare you think about it! Dong Zhongshu was a little angry: "The matter of Taixue has not yet been raised, how could the Empress Dowager ask you about this kind of thing?" ”

To be honest, Su Ren didn't figure it out either. Looking at Dong Zhongshu's posture, he was worried that Su Ren would be biased towards the Empress Dowager and become an obstacle to the dispute between Taoism and Confucianism. Su Ren smiled: "This kid doesn't know, but don't worry, sir, from today onwards, the kid will build Taixue as soon as possible." ”

"I hope so!" Dong Zhongshu ignored everyone, turned around and went out, the others didn't know why, but Wen Dang knew, patted Su Ren's shoulder, and followed Dong Zhongshu out.

Sima Xiangru smiled slightly: "It's okay, just now you said that you want to build Taixue, but at the moment the people of Chang'an are panicking, and there is such a big thing in Taixue a few days ago, I'm afraid there is not enough manpower." ”

"Don't worry, how many people use as many people, come little by little, there will always be a time to finish!" Su Ren sat on the chair that Dong Zhongshu was sitting on just now: "In a few days, Chang'an will slowly get better, there will be people, as long as the river and foundation work is over, there will not be many people for other things." ”

Leng Jun hurriedly asked, "What?" Do they have a way? ”

Su Ren smiled: "It was originally a ploy of the emperor, but now that the goal has been achieved, it is time to close the net, and naturally it will not be so chaotic anymore." ”

"You gave Liu Che the idea, right? Do you know who those heroes are behind them, and it is difficult for us to deal with a Liu prostitute, let alone so many people. ”

"Scared?" Su Ren looked at it and smiled coldly.

"You're not afraid?" With a cold face: "There are hundreds of people in this family, now is not the time when we are in Laojunguan, if you have something, so many people will give you a funeral!" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay!"

"Humph!" Leng Jun snorted coldly and left in a huff.

Sima Xiangru sighed: "Brother Leng is right, Chang'an is not as good as Shuzhong, there is Wen Taishou in Shuzhong, and there are Wenshui and Yuanshan that we can rely on, it is different here." ”

Su Ren nodded: "I have a plan, I will be careful." ”

The Taixue construction site started again, and in order to avoid problems again, Su Ren left the necessary guards and transferred all the others. Cui Chengru also persuaded several businessmen to remove a lot of families and nurses to assist Su Ren. In order to reassure the people and craftsmen, Su Ren specially opened up a place and set up a workshop for the people and craftsmen to rest temporarily.

There are too few people, so the excavation of the river can only be put first. The construction of Taixue is the top priority, and all the manpower is concentrated and the place in Taixue is cleaned up. Su Ren took people and stayed at the construction site for twelve hours a day, watching the deep pits dug out of the original flat land and erecting shelves where houses needed to be built. Occasionally, Su Ren would also help, sweating profusely and covered in mud, but he enjoyed it.

When the people and craftsmen saw it, they felt that this Su Yilang was indeed different. Being able to put down your body and do the same work as them, and pay them back every day, is naturally going all out. Powerful and energetic, with technology to take out twelve points, for the quality of the project, one by one, a little unsatisfactory, eager to smoke their two mouths.

Holding a large stack of thick bowls in his arms, Huang Shisan and Shi Bao behind him carried the burden. Su Ren stood in the square and shouted: "Everyone, rest!" Drink saliva and dry it again, there is frosting in the water today! ”

Frosting is a high-end product, and ordinary people don't have it at all, so it is extremely luxurious to put frosting in water. Su Ren knew that the people and craftsmen were doing manual work every day, and they drank some sugar water to replenish some energy, so as not to get tired. Surrounding Su Ren, each with a smile on his face, Su Ren chatted with a few people and served them water.

"Drink some, not much, don't dislike it!"

"Su Yilang is benevolent and righteous, we will work hard!"

"Okay, that's what I want, if it's completed ahead of schedule, I'll give you a few more days of wages!"

"Xie Su Yilang!"

The prototype of Taixue has appeared, the artificial lake in the middle has left a good place, the surrounding building foundations are also being tamped, and the timber has been transported and is being renovated. The jagged earthen walls are connected one side by one, and the best cement is used, and firewood and grass are added in the middle, which is very thick and strong. The bricklayer next to him stacked the tiles in the open yard to dry, and after firing, the roof tiles were invented, which was an invention of Su Ren, he did not use wooden planks and firewood, and the roof tiles were used longer than those things.

Dong Zhongshu stood with his hands behind his back in the place where the artificial lake was to be dug out in the future, looking at the Taixue Hall under construction, according to Su Ren's meaning, a statue of Confucius would be made at the main entrance, and someone had been found to draw a picture. Dong Zhongshu is very satisfied with this.

Su Ren came over with a bowl of water and handed it to Dong Zhongshu with a smile: "Mr. Dong drink saliva, right?" ”

Dong Zhongshu glanced at Su Ren and took it: "Are you really sure that the Empress Dowager agreed to make a statue of Confucius in Taixue?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "If you don't agree, let's get it out first, the wood is already in the boat, and then we'll talk about it." ”

"Nonsense!" Dong Zhongshu's face immediately darkened.

"Sir, don't be angry, Your Majesty agrees to this matter, as long as Your Majesty agrees, the Empress Dowager's problem will not be too big, you just put your heart in your stomach, we will build it, will it be smashed?"

Dong Zhongshu glanced at Su Ren, these days, Su Ren has been staying at the construction site day and night, everyone looks a little thin, the already thin body is even thinner, the northwest wind blows, and the robe on his body is loose. Taking a sip of sugar water, Dong Zhongshu said: "Take care of yourself, this Taixue can't be built in a day, if it weren't for you, who knows what it would be." ”

Su Ren smiled and nodded: "The kid knows!" ”

The northwest wind is rising, and winter in the north is coming. Depression and cold are the biggest characteristics of winter, but Chang'an City is boiling. Since the northern army suddenly appeared in Chang'an, those bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in Chang'an City panicked, they had a premonition that danger was coming, and they sought the protection of their families, but this time it seemed to be different from the past, and their families invariably lost their voices collectively.

Su Kai stood in front of Liu Che, pointing to the map of Chang'an to report the situation of Chang'an Haoqiang that he had ascertained, while Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi listened quietly. After Su Kai finished speaking, Liu Che nodded: "Very good, I didn't expect there to be so many ill-intentioned guys hidden in Chang'an City!" ”

Su Kai said: "Most of these people are concentrated in the mansion of the emperor's relatives as guests, not in the household registration, do not pay taxes and grain, rely on the power of the upper family, and do tricks and robberies in Chang'an City, among which the most powerful family has 300 hectares of land outside the city, and has built a manor, which has hundreds of slaves, and more than 200 subordinates, all of whom are ruffians or gangsters nearby. ”

"How can this be true? How unreasonable! Liu Che said angrily: "Li Guang and Cheng don't know the two of you have also heard it, I will tell you clearly today, no matter who is behind them, no matter how powerful they are, they will all be arrested, and no one will be spared!" ”

"No!" Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi hurriedly gave a salute.

After sending away Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi, Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Su Kai with a resolute face, and said: "It's been hard during this time, I heard that you have become married, and you still have children, give you a few days of rest, go back to accompany them!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Weichen's matter is not over yet, and it is not too late to rest when Chang'an is completely settled! ”

Liu Che nodded with satisfaction: "Su Renzhen is not wrong, you are indeed loyal to my big man, I am very happy, last time you asked you to send someone to the Taixue construction site to make trouble, I heard that Sima Xiangru was beaten, is he okay?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the people sent are measured!"

Liu Che smiled: "Speaking of which, I don't do this thing authentically, when the matter is over, I will explain to Su Ren, and solve Haoqiang's heart disease, Su Ren has made a lot of contributions, he is now devoted to the construction of Taixue, there are many people there, I am afraid that those people will not give up, you send someone to protect him, there must be no problems." ”

"No, the minister understands!"

The first snow finally fell, and overnight the whole of Chang'an turned white. To say that the weather in ancient times was good, the air was not polluted, and the snow that fell was white and pure, crystal clear. The brazier in the house was lit, and the smoke was so bad that no one could open their eyes. The weather was too cold, and no one wanted to go out, so Su Ren had to shrink into the house with tears in his eyes.

Liu Gao entered the house with Xuehua, and a cold air made Su Ren tremble, and hurriedly asked, "What about people?" Did you find it? ”
