Chapter 8: Whales

Just as Liu Hong was thinking hard about how to divert the attention of the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government and no longer dwell on the affairs of the future, Cao Ying, the county commander of Huangxian County, Donglai County, Qingzhou, played.

"On March 10 of the first year of Xiping, Donglai earthquake again, causing a tsunami, no casualties, but two big fish came out of the sea, each long ** zhang, high two zhang. It is an auspicious omen. (Historically based)

This twist and turn shifted the attention of the officials of the court and the central government to the two big fishes, and Liu Hong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Then he secretly thought to himself, "I didn't expect that Cao Ying is really my lucky star, but those two should be whales!." ”

At the end of March of the first year of Xiping, Cao Ying personally sent two whales to Luoyang, the capital division.

However, Cao Ying, who had just arrived in Beijing, was a closed door.

"This general, this is an auspicious gift to His Majesty, why can't he enter the city?" Cao Ying was dissatisfied with the captain of the city gate of the north gate of Luoyang.

The captain of the city gate looked at the huge cart with dozens of strong cattle outside the city gate, as well as the more than two zhang objects that were covered by a huge cloth, and said helplessly, "Cao County Order, it's not that the general is embarrassed with you, it's really too big for this thing, I want to check it, and you said that this is auspicious, I can't wait, how is this good?" ”

Cao Ying was speechless when he heard this, indeed, this matter seemed to be his fault.

At this time, the captain of the city gate said, "Cao County Order, let's put these two behemoths aside first!" Otherwise, the people behind will not be able to enter the city. ”

Cao Yingwen looked back, and sure enough, all the people behind him were blocked, and the people in the city gate were the same, neither entering nor leaving.

Cao Ying, who had no other way, said, "Since this is the case, let's enter the city first and ask Your Majesty for instructions!" ”

The captain of the city gate nodded and said, "In that case, then okay! ”

Immediately, Cao Ying ordered people to wait on the side, and he entered Luoyang City alone.

Not long after, Liu Hong summoned Cao Ying in the dormitory.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Meng De has been back to Beijing very frequently recently!" ”

Cao Ying was shocked when he heard this, could it be that this made His Majesty dissatisfied?

Immediately, Liu Hong continued, "This time I came to offer auspiciousness, so I won't say anything, but Meng De is very disappointed with me!" I ordered Er to go to Huang County to be a county magistrate, don't you know the intention? Or do you think I'm letting you mix your qualifications? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is guilty." Cao Ying hurriedly saluted.

Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Where is Xiangrui?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the captain of the city gate of the north gate wants to check Xiangrui, and the minister doesn't know what to do, so he came to ask for instructions."

"The captain of the city gate inspects the things that have just entered Luoyang, that is where the duty lies, this matter cannot be blamed, that is, it is a duty, and the auspicious is not an unimpressive thing, but it is okay to investigate."

"No."

Liu Hong suddenly thought of something, so he groaned slightly, and said, "Xiangrui is not a person who can watch it, but the people of Luoyang can watch it together, so I want to build a place outside the palace and make Xiangrui for the people to watch, so as to show the strength of my Han Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

"This matter will be handled by the Shaofu, and later, Li Hao ordered the Shaofu to come."

"No"

"Alright! Mengde, step back first! ”

"No, the minister resigns."

After Cao Ying came out of the palace, he went straight to the north gate of Luoyang, but as soon as Cao Ying arrived at the north gate of Luoyang, he found that the north gate was already crowded.

"General, why is that?" Seeing this, Cao Ying couldn't help but wonder and said to the captain of the city gate.

The captain of the city gate smiled bitterly and said, "Cao County Order, these are the people in the city, I heard that this is an auspicious thing, and they all came to take a look, in order to protect the auspicious general, a group of soldiers have been mobilized here." ”

When Cao Ying heard this, he also couldn't cry or laugh, what is this called?

Immediately, Cao Ying said, "Your Majesty has decreed that the general can inspect Xiangrui, and then release Xiangrui outside the palace to watch it with the people." ”

"Your Majesty is truly the King of Wisdom." The captain of the city gate said with emotion, in fact, this kind of auspicious rui can be exempted from inspection, but once Liu Hong orders the captain of the city gate to check, then even the emperor's things are checked, who else can avoid the inspection?

If someone doesn't let you check, can you say that your status is more noble than that of the emperor? This is Liu Hong's mind, striving to subtly turn the Han into a law-based country.

Although the rule of man and the rule of law have their own advantages and disadvantages, Liu Hong still feels that the rule of law can avoid the abuse of power by corrupt officials.

Immediately, Cao Ying and the captain of the city gate squeezed through the crowd and came to the head of the whale, when the captain of the city gate was about to uncover the cover.

Cao Ying suddenly said, "General, this thing is very huge, so it is a little terrifying, so please make some preparations for the general." ”

"Nothing, nothing, someone who has experienced war." The captain of the city gate said indifferently.

The captain of the city gate is surnamed Zhao, and he is from the Wushuang Army, so he has experienced a lot of battles, which is also the confidence for him to say this.

Cao Ying shook his head when he heard this, and then stretched out his hand to ask General Zhao, the captain of the city gate, to check.

General Zhao, the captain of the city gate, lifted the veil and suddenly exclaimed, "I'm Diniang!" As soon as General Zhao saw what was inside, he was frightened.

It's even more 'pedaling and pedaling~' retreating four or five steps in a row, his eyes are round, and his face is full of fear, as if what he has just seen is the most terrible thing in the world.

How have people in the mainland ever seen such a behemoth as a whale? If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that he would have fled screaming in fright, but this city gate captain General Zhao is worthy of crawling out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, although he is not lightly frightened.

However, after General Zhao, the captain of the city gate, stood still, he pulled out the war knife in his hand with a sound of 'Cang~', with a resolute look on his face, it seemed that he was desperate for what he wanted to see.

Seeing the reaction of General Zhao, the captain of the city gate, Cao Ying smiled in his heart, "Isn't it true that you won't be afraid?" Why is that? ”

Of course, Cao Ying didn't dare to show the slightest smile on his face, but reminded loudly: "General Zhao doesn't need to be afraid, this thing is a thing in the sea, it has been away from the sea for a long time, so it has already died, and it will not hurt anyone!" Otherwise, how dare you present it to Your Majesty? ”

Originally, with the courage of General Zhao, who has been in a hundred battles, there is really nothing in this world that can scare him like this, but there are always exceptions to everything, when General Zhao first saw a slightly open bloody mouth, and when he looked up, it was a terrifying head, almost as tall as where he lived.

Seeing such a terrifying monster unexpectedly, it was already good to have a heart attack without being scared on the spot, not to mention that it could even muster up the courage to draw a knife, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

In fact, after General Zhao pulled out the knife, he already felt that something was wrong, and then he heard Cao Ying's explanation, and finally regained some composure, and then calmed down, and walked over to look at the 'auspicious rui' under the cover, and found that he had been dead for a long time, and finally completely relieved himself.

Although Cao Ying did not say that this thing was dead, Cao Ying had already reminded him before, but General Zhao, the captain of the city gate, was not easy to say.

Then he arched his hand and said, "Cao County order, this thing can be sent into the city." ”

"Thank you."
