Chapter 50: Zhao Shixian
The Han Empire is different from previous dynasties, its system almost replicates the extinct Great Qin Empire, and then the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the older Xia and Shang dynasties, as for the earlier three emperors and five emperors in the mythological era, at first glance it sounds that the ancient era is very far away, in fact, it is only more than 2,000 years apart.
There is no successful experience to learn from, this is the most troublesome trouble for the emperor of the Han Empire, how to govern the country, how to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, how to avoid the collapse of the country and repeat the big mistakes made by the Qin Dynasty, this is what every generation of the Emperor of the Han Empire is trying to think about and find.
The Son of Heaven in Weiyang Palace was very troubled, and Cao Shi in Pingyang Mansion was also very worried.
In the cold winter of the moon, the sky was covered with ice and snow, and the back and forth between Jingshi and the Hou Mansion were very unchanged, Princess Yangxin complained to him many times, and mentioned the story of the reluctance to be in Beique Jiadi, regretting that he did not have to bear the pain of running back and forth in the city.
Princess Yangxin's complaint was not a big deal, Zhang Wuhou Dou Wan gave him a big problem, the land by the Wei River was finally willing to let go, but the price he wanted to come out almost scared to death.
Hearing this offer, Cao Shi, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You said that the land by the Wei River costs 6ooo per mu, why didn't he grab it!" Wouldn't this 5oo land cost 300 million money, which is equal to 30,000 gold, he really dared to open his mouth! ”
"I can't lower the price by wearing out my mouth, and I am worthy of the expectations of the prince." Fan Itguang was very depressed, Zhang Wuhou Dou Wan Bacheng found out their thoughts, and made up his mind to sit on the ground and start the price without letting a penny, just buy this land if you like, if you don't buy it, get out.
Cao Shi exclaimed angrily: "This Zhang Wuhou lion opened his mouth, a little ignorant!" ”
Chang'an is the most important land in the world, and it is not surprising that the land in the city is expensive, and the cultivated land outside the city is seven or eight thousand yuan, and the cheaper it is only two or three thousand yuan, the closer it is to the Jingshi, the more expensive the cultivated land is, and the place where the Hou Mansion is located is not particularly good, although it is adjacent to the Wei River and the official road, it is far away, and the land price is slightly cheaper than the surrounding Lingyi cultivated fields.
Fan Itguang has no way, after all, Zhang Wuhou is a relative of the Dou family and has the capital to act arbitrarily, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although the Pingyang Hou Mansion is very famous, but it is not good to provoke the Dou family, a relative with infinite scenery, Zhang Wuhou dares to offer a sky-high price of 6ooo money per mu, indicating that this land is not as easy to take as imagined.
Cao Shi doesn't see it that way, there are still a few months before the arrival of spring, and now it is too late to buy the land to catch up with the whole land before the arrival of spring, and it will be in vain after a few months of spring this year, the ghost knows whether the Son of Heaven can hold out until the spring of the next year, in case there are three long and two short in the next day, the prince Liu Che will succeed to the throne, with his current status, it is difficult to say what position Liu Che will put him in, so he must take advantage of this time to quickly implement the land matter.
Zhang Wuhou's asking price Cao Shi can't afford to give, Pingyang Hou's family has a total of more than 40,000 gold, and it is very disadvantageous to buy a piece of cultivated land with a premium of more than double, and this land price can choose a better land nearby in Chang'an, but he doesn't want to buy an enclave more than ten miles apart, and the total price of 300 million yuan can buy 18oo hectares of land in Hedong.
was distressed, the servant reminded him that it was time to go to the banquet, so he left the mansion with anger and went to Chang'an to go to the wine banquet of the liehous.
Marquis Fu Yi said with a smile: "The Dou family has hoarded a lot of arable land in Beijing, right? Guannei Hou legally occupies 95 hectares of land, although our liehou does not have clear regulations, but there are still rules that thousands of households are not allowed to exceed 2oo hectares, and 10,000 households are not allowed to exceed 5oo hectares, a small Zhang Wuhou has at least 2ooo hectares of land in the east of the city, and at least more than 1,000 hectares of land in the west of the city. ”
Guan Qiang laughed loudly: "He's afraid of a fart, there is a cover of the Empress Dowager Dou on it, which imperial history dares to impeach the Dou family without opening his eyes?" Ate the bear's heart and leopard gall. ”
The princes laughed out loud, since the Bo family, which had been beautiful for a long time, was finished more than ten years ago, it was the turn of the Dou family to become the No. 1 family of relatives, and today's Empress Dowager Dou has a longevity that is not inferior to that of the Empress Dowager Bo, but she does not have the broad mind of the Empress Dowager Bo, and if she dares to find the Dou family, she will be hated by the old lady for a lifetime.
This iron law is unstoppable, even if Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty provokes Dou Wu, the favorite youngest son of the Empress Dowager Dou, it is also a painful and painful flattery, and Goshawk Zhi just followed the intention of the Son of Heaven to get rid of the abolished prince Liu Rong, and the old lady remembered his name and tried every possible way to kill him, but Zhi Du was really killed.
With such a strong record in front of him, Cao Shi did not have the courage to provoke the relatives of the Empress Dowager Dou's family, for fear that he would be hated by the old lady of the Dou family if he was not careful, even if he only used the lightest small punishment and big commandment, he would turn back and turn his face.
The question on his face: "Everyone says that Zhao Yu is bent on going his own way, why doesn't he impeach him?" ”
"Hey, that's a great idea! There is only this tendon in the Jingshi who dares to touch the reverse scales of the Dou family, but the trick is to lose a little, and the Dou family will take Zhao Yu's life if he suffers a big loss. Zhou Zuoche pursed his lips and said with a meaningful smile: "The princess of the pavilion Tao is trying to take revenge, and Zhao Yu will definitely die if he falls into his hands." ”
Chen He looked left and right to confirm that no soldiers of the Northern Army suddenly appeared, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that he will do something, isn't it just a dog raised by the Son of Heaven, who will kill or not?" Didn't the old lady in Changxin Palace kill an old dog a while ago, and this one was also sent to kill, and it was also a good thing to vent the anger of the old lady in Guantao. ”
"That's right, I raise my hands in favor of this matter, Zishou can rest assured and boldly do it!" The princes said instigatingly.
A few liehous coaxed blindly, Cao Shi was very speechless, and he was too undisciplined to kill people and frame him at every turn, but this is the style of the liehous.
They ran rampant in Chang'an without taboos, not afraid of the three princes and nine kings, Zhi Du was slightly restrained from time to time, Zhi was killed and celebrated all night long, and the lieutenant Ning Cheng, who had cut off the backup, was just a grasshopper after the autumn in the eyes of the liehou, and he was no longer afraid.
After the wine banquet was dispersed, he got up and boarded the carriage, and suddenly there was a stranger in the carriage.
Cao Shi was slightly stunned, and then returned to his normal posture and sat down, and the carriage slowly moved and left Chang'an City with the people in the car.
When the gate of the city gradually faded away, the stranger spoke: "The prince is not in a hurry and does not be surprised, it is really unexpected, and he is indeed the mind of a person who can achieve great things." ”
"Although I am not talented, but the person who can quietly board my car, even if there is one in Chang'an City, it will not be more than a hand, although Your Excellency is strong and strong, leaving traces of practicing the art of arching horses all year round, but it is impossible to hide it from Sun Qi silently, unless you are the old man of the Hou Mansion."
A cold wind blew, a corner of the thick curtain was blown open, and bright sunlight seeped into the carriage, revealing a simple and unpretentious middle-aged face, only to see him sigh with a slight smile: "The prince is thoughtful, and he only sees the identity of the lower from a short observation, and it is once again unexpected under the lower." ”
Sun Qi explained in a low voice outside the carriage: "Junhou, this person is the prime minister's chief Shi Zhao She, so the henchman of Zhou Yafu, who has a lot of dealings with the former prince (Cao Qi) in the army, so he knows it. ”
"You are Zhao She, who offered his plan to enter Luoyang!" Cao Shi was also taken aback, this person helped Zhou Yafu avoid the ambush of King Wu in the early days of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of Wu and Chu, and arrived at the Luoyang arsenal to transfer armaments and send troops and horses, and then repeatedly offered plans and meritorious service as the central protector, and after the war, he followed Zhou Yafu into the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was a hardcore Zhou Yafu's confidant.
Zhao Sheji saluted and said: "It's a shame to say that after the prime minister left office, he would live in the palace of Shao Shang, and he couldn't get it by trying his best to save the prime minister, but it was not as good as the prince's words and two sentences to play a greater role. ”
Boom!
Cao Shi's throat was dry and he barely swallowed saliva to no avail, he never expected Zhao Shi to know his secret, judging from his tone that the two secret things were in his hands, he thought that Zhou Fu's family had already ended that period of cause and effect, but he didn't expect that there was a Zhao Shi hidden behind Zhou Fu!
What does it feel like to have a secret in your hands? There are even dead people, and at that moment, thousands of thoughts flickered in his mind, and Cao Shi's eyes were sometimes gloomy, sometimes frightened, and sometimes murderous.
Zhao Shi is so smart, he smiled and comforted: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, I swear to Tai Yishen that only the three people in the carriage know this secret, and there is no fourth person in the world who knows it!" I know that you have a sharp dagger hidden in your sleeve, and if the prince wants to do it, the dagger will be pierced into the heart below. ”
The carriage suddenly slowed down, and Sun Qi outside the carriage seemed to be waiting for his order, and Zhao Shi would die on the spot if he only needed an order, but Zhao Shi sat there quietly with an unchanged face, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.
Cao Shi's mind struggled repeatedly, he was not sure whether Zhao Shi was cheating him, and chose the safest way: "Say it!" What is hopeful, I will do my best to satisfy you. ”
"I am entrusted by the people, I hope that the prince can take in two swaddling children to grow up in the mansion, and I also hope to use the power of the Hou Mansion to quietly go to the border county."
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that."
It was at this moment that he noticed that in the corner of the carriage, two little babies wrapped in bags were sleeping soundly, and Cao Shi's face was pale: "The orphan of the young family? ”
"Exactly, the sons of Shao Shang Zao are too old to get out of their shells, so they have to bring out the young sons and daughters of Shao Shang Zao's family, and hide in Chang'an City for many days before they find a chance to meet with the princes, they are the last survivors of the descendants of the Marquis of Jiang's family." Zhao Shi turned his face sideways to look at the little baby in the carriage, his face showing sadness and pity.
He was expressionless and didn't want to answer, waiting for Zhao Shi to gather his mind and asked, "What are you doing in Bian County?" ”
"Go north to the Huns."
Cao Shi's eyes widened and he said angrily: "You are going to betray the Han!" Revenge and hatred are the long-term feelings of the ancients, but after all, they are descendants of the Han family, how can they do the disloyal and unrighteous act of betraying the Han and defecting to the Huns! ”
