ps: Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!
The changes of the queen mother can't be hidden from the elf-like lady liehou, who has long seen the discord between the eldest sister-in-law and her younger sister-in-law.
Liu Yan has never been a good person, Wang Wan is not muddy, one is a powder keg that will be blown up when it is lit, and the other is full of tenacity, and the opponents on both sides are chess opponents will meet good materials, and they have not been out of the circle because the first emperor Han Jingdi is alive.
Now that the obstacles in front of the two are gone, no matter how the son Liu Che and daughter-in-law Chen Ajiao look at it, Liu Che has been a prince for half a year and has accumulated a lot of prestige, and it is not surprising that Wang Huan has two thoughts, if Liu Che's throne is unstable, Wang Huan will never dare to collide with Liu Huan.
Mrs. Lihou smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is kind, if it were us ordinary women, we would have quarreled with the woman who is not an elder, but it is a pity that Princess Yangxin is such a clever person as Zhong Lingyuxiu." ”
"That girl is so kind, she inherited my good side but not that ......," the Queen Mother retracted.
The ladies of Lehuo closed their mouths knowingly.
Liu Wan stood motionless in the corner of the Changqiu Palace, she had been standing here for half an hour, watching her aunt Pavilion Princess Tao leave in a bad mood, and did not move after several hesitations.
When the princess of the pavilion Tao left, she clearly saw the meaningful eyes of the queen mother, Wang Huan, who was full of strange confidence and even more unfamiliar strategies.
In the past, the queen mother was always a submissive little daughter-in-law. Seeing the eldest sister-in-law Liu Yan's soft voice, she didn't dare to raise her head to speak when she saw her mother-in-law Dou Yifang.
Today's sudden change of attitude is extraordinary.
Knowing her mother, Liu Wan understands her mother's temperament and means. Just like the princess of the pavilion Tao understands her mother Dou Yifang, her mother is weak on the outside, stubborn on the inside, and has a special attachment to her relatives.
The aunt Liu who bullied her, even if she is a relative, can't forgive, knowing that revenge is only sooner or later, it is still unexpected so soon.
Liu Wan leaned on the railing and frowned slightly: "The queen mother's mind has also changed, maybe it is the new policy of Brother Che'er's better than ever." It was a great encouragement to the queen mother, or maybe it was my husband's ability and my husband that made the queen look at her differently. I hope the queen mother won't be so soon. ”
Located in the northwest of Chang'an City, the Wei Bridge across the Wei River is not as perfect as the Zhaozhou Bridge a thousand years later, but it is already the pinnacle of stonemason bridge building in this era.
Above the Wei Bridge. The long procession of carriages headed west, and they were the sons and daughters of the nobles of the military meritorious lords from the seventy-five counties and counties of Guanzhong, who were between twenty-seven and eighty-eighty to forty years old, and each family had at least three or four large carriages, some pulling goods and some living, and the groups stretched for several miles without end.
They are the forerunners of the Hehuang Kaibian, from the grandson of the concubine of the meritorious prince, to the youngest son of the five great doctors who have no inheritance rights, and the uncle with the nephew. The head of the house takes his servants with him, calls for friends, and accompanies each other. There are tens of thousands of people in total.
Sell salt and alkali, buy good horses, buy cattle and sheep.
"It's all money!" Wu Yingqi stared at the long list of acquisitions, and his eyes were full of five baht coins, countless five baht coins.
In the eyes of the liehou, the Longxi Plateau is a big treasure, and it is no longer the legendary forbidden area of life, but represents the five-baht coin that counts to the hand cramps. An inexhaustible source of wealth.
A month ago.
The family who risked death to climb down from the Longxi Plateau returned to Chang'an, and put two carts of messy things in front of the liehou. The old people who had collapsed in front of Mount Tai and remained unchanged were finally shocked.
Yak meat, yak skin, and yak horn are not rare.
The lake salt, which is as white as snow and crystal clear, the yellowed lake alkali, and the plateau barley called barley are exciting.
There are also many wild flowers that cannot be named, and strange plants are said to be very valuable herbs.
The most amazing thing is Qinghai Cong.
The sturdy horse with a blue and black body, shaking his head and tail with his toes high, and the big guy with a sturdy physique easily threw off the short kind, and his strength, explosiveness, and endurance were stronger than the Mo Nan horse (native Mongolian horse).
It has the characteristics of desert south horse resistance to rough feeding, bitter cold resistance, strong adaptability, and a stronger characteristic, the altitude of Longxi Plateau is 3ooo meters, the latitude is low, the summer sunshine and temperature are higher, the climate changes frequently throughout the year, the temperature difference between day and night can be comparable to the fire basin of the Western Regions, and the disease resistance of the horses cultivated is better.
Qinghai Cheng no matter the size, spirit, body, strength, explosive power, disease resistance has been greatly improved, running majestic and high-spirited, and the character is well-behaved and likable and easy to domesticate, almost everyone loves the big baby.
Emperor Gaozongjing's three major horse farms, which had been painstakingly operated for ten years, had a stock of nearly 50,000 horses, and it was difficult to find a few good horses that could match them.
This is not just an ordinary good horse, but the best of the best horses, and one step further is the legendary god horse.
After several inquiries, I learned from the mouths of those people that there were indeed some stronger horses by the lake, but the nearby Sheng Rong was not willing to sell one anyway.
Just look at the posture of those horses, even if they are not gods, they are one or two grades stronger than ordinary horses.
Dozens of sergeants almost broke their heads for those horses, and a few old guys rolled up their sleeves to stage an all-military parade, which almost alarmed Zhang Ou, the lieutenant of the Northern Army.
"Cao family boy, what do you say to deal with!" Li Ji's beard and beard were majestic: "But no matter how you divide it, anyway, the old man wants a pair of horses to breed." ”
"It must not be like that!"
"A family and a horse are not enough, you old guy want to take two points alone? There are no doors! ”
"My old man never walks the door, and he can open a skylight from the roof."
"You old horseman! You are always indispensable to get cheap, and this time it will not work! ”
Several old liehous quarreled around Liji, and a large number of old Liang Zou Hou Wu Zhi, Qu Cheng Hou Worm Jie, Xiangping Hou Ji Xiangfu, Guang'a Hou Ren Dan, Dai Hou Mi Anguo, Qi Hou Ji Ban, Yan Hou Xu Hui, Chengyang Hou Xi Xin, Yan Hou Zhai Jia, Qing Hou Mu Kong, Jianyang Hou Du Dan, Yanghe Hou Qiwu blowing his beard and glaring. Not afraid of the majesty of the slightest.
The youngest of these old princes is also in their sixties, and the oldest is about seventy years old. is like an ordinary old man walking in the sun, talking and running around with his teeth full of teeth.
But once they become powerful, it is like an old lion roaring, the earth shakes the mountains and the momentum is amazing, and you can vaguely see the style of killing Zhulu 4o years ago to shake the world.
The princes have their own rules and systems, and small things are discussed and handled, and major things are handled according to their abilities. The conflict of interests has always been for each family to show their talents, just like gaining fame immediately. Don't think about it without two brushes.
When fighting for interests, the small ones are looking for the small ones to fight, and the old ones are fighting, and these old men only dare to practice at the same age.
Gao Liang Hou Li scabies strongly supported his younger brother Liji: "You are just killing the remnants of the Lu family, old man, I have seen with my own eyes the majesty of Taizu to kill Jiujiang Wang Yingbu." It's not your turn to put on the shelf. ”
As soon as Li Scabies appeared in the town, his father was the world's civilized Gaoyang drunkard Li Shiqi, who was killed in the cauldron of Qi Wang Tianheng by Han Xinkeng, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Emperor Liu Bang of Taizu Gao specially named him a liehou before his death, and now he has been a liehou for 54 years, this old man is also nearly eighty years old (born 22o years ago), relying on his father's age and Liu Bang is the same generation, and the youngest Jianghou Zhou Bo and Yingyin Hou Guanying in the Han Dynasty can be called brothers and sisters, Zhou Yafu (born in 199 BC) and others are his juniors.
The hero of the early Han Dynasty. It's an old monster who lives to this day.
Just like Ji Bu, Feng Tang and other old guys who were alive in the pre-Qin era were all over 9o years old, and they all lived to the present day are all living fossil-level horror beings, according to the etiquette of the Han family. The people of Guizhou are exempt from forced labor when they are over 65 years old, and they can enter the court to see the Son of Heaven if they are over 7o years old, and they don't need to salute when they see the three princes and nine secretaries over 8o years old, but the three princes and nine secretaries have to salute them.
Seeing the emperor, he only needs to symbolically arch his hand, and the emperor must also treat him with courtesy, if it is a 9o-year-old old liehou who sneezes, maybe Chang'an City will tremble.
Li Yan glanced at it, "Don't make any noise." Are you just a few dozen Qinghai horses? Let the Cao family kid preside over the division, and he can't find fault anymore if he takes more or less. ”
Dozens of eyes locked on him. Cao Shi obediently lay in the corner and could not escape the fate of being shot.
"The Cao family kid is dividing quickly, we all need this horse to be put into the pen and raised."
"Divide quickly! Remember to give me two horses, I want a male and a female. ”
"Phew! You old horseman is ashamed, if only I had two mares, I would still be able to breed. ”
"Then I want two stallions, and we will cooperate more when the time comes."
In the past, the old princes who were highly respected tore off their discipline for a few rare good horses, and cheekily quarreled to divide the ownership of good horses, and the young noble children were dull and at a loss in their hearts.
Cao Shi was so embarrassed that a few old monsters who rarely spoke opened their mouths, and immediately reversed the situation completely.
Li Ji can be called a brother with his grandfather Cao Ji, in addition to the high point of the household, he is really not much high-end in front of the old man, and the Cao family kid who relies on the old man to sell and shout at him has no pressure, even if the old man scolds him, he has to listen.
Under the etiquette system of the Han Empire, the older a person is, the higher his status, and everyone has to hold it.
As long as the old man doesn't stand up to the bad things that hurt his reputation for being disrespectful to the old, it is really a good thing to walk around the world empty-handed without worrying about eating and drinking.
Cao Shi couldn't afford to provoke the old man, so he had to ask his uncle Ruyin Hou Xiahou Ci to relieve him of the siege: "It's hard to say, Qinghai Cheng is not allowed to divide a horse, all the stables in the racecourse are carefully cared for, and after two years, the foals will be brought home in order, no need to rob or make trouble, everyone has a share." ”
"Then it's settled, in the future, if you can't divide things, you will divide them according to this method, and when you go to the Longxi Plateau, you can get things back according to your ability." Li Zhen snorted a few words and walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back, and the old princes did not have the qualifications and prestige of this old man, so they had to accept this distribution method.
Feng Xin, a medical worker, selected the plants on the plateau and repeatedly performed pharmacological practices, and came to a very surprising conclusion.
Rhodiola has the effect of nourishing qi and blood and strengthening the foundation, and when he learned that the Qiang people of the Longxi Plateau used Rhodiola to cure the altitude sickness of their servants, Feng Xin felt even more incredible.
"Look, gentleman, bracken nettle strengthens the stomach and spleen, invigorates qi and blood, cordyceps sinensis invigorates the lungs and kidneys, and lean qi, Qin Gang removes wind and paralysis, clears dampness and relieves fever, snow lotus nourishes the kidney and aphrodisiac and invigorates the blood, wolfberry nourishes the liver and kidney, and the eyes are shrewd, salvia and miltiorrhiza relieves pain and cools the blood and eliminates carbuncles, and sea buckthorn fruit invigorates blood and disperses stasis and phlegm and widens the chest. Royal jelly doesn't need to be mentioned, and ......"
Cao Shi stared at the unsightly plants and looked at them, but there were really no treasures in the plants. With his memory, he had only heard of a few things such as royal jelly, cordyceps, snow lotus, wolfberry, salvia, etc., and Snow Lotus still saw it from martial arts novels, and secretly wondered if he could add something.
There is no doubt that the Chinese medicine is broad and profound, Feng Xin is a high apprentice of Canggong Chun, and the master is the divine doctor Bian Que, and he, a layman, only needs to listen to the advice of the insider.
The news was reported to the imperial court, causing a shock to the government and the opposition.
It's been decades. There has been no expansion of territory for decades.
The samurai of the Han family have long been impatient to wait, they need war. The never-ending war, only war and victory can obtain the rewards and privileges of the Son of Heaven, and for the old samurai who have waited for decades, they are tired of the long period of peace.
Liu Che, the son of heaven, is also tired of it.
Morning pilgrimage. will hear Wei Juan's chattering teachings, as if it is not the court of the Three Princes and the Nine Princes, but just the school where Wei Juan teaches the prince as the prince and the prince.
He can temporarily tolerate it for the sake of the new policy of Jianyuan, and not interfere with the wanton counterattack of the old Huang faction. But this does not mean that the little emperor has given up his ambition to expand his territory.
Not only did he not give up that ambition, but he needed it more urgently than before, and he really didn't want to listen to the old school of Huang anymore. I want to hear something new and in line with his ideals.
Ting Wei Niu rebuked angrily: "Shaofu! Do you know what you're doing? It is irresponsible dereliction of duty for you to encourage the military meritorious lord to enter the unknown area to explore freely, and it is also a bad act that violates the Han law, stop your incitement immediately and pacify all the princes, otherwise the lord and the court will investigate your illegal acts. ”
"Shaofu, don't do fearless things. Huang Lao's way of inaction lies in being quiet and natural, and you are going astray if you are so obsessed. Prime Minister Wei Juan is still serious. But his expression has a look of Our Lady who is too wrong and must be saved.
The three princes and nine ministers nodded their heads one after another, saying yes, although the prime minister is old and serious, although it cannot meet the hopes of the Son of Heaven, but it is of great benefit to the maintenance of the stability of the dynasty and the system.
There are 40 years at both ends of the reign of Wenjing, and the two holy emperors have very little rules and regulations, and before the first emperor made a big move, he also specially ordered the system to remain unchanged, rectify the collapsed Mingtian system and award the military merit to the field to be implemented step by step.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne in October last year, the court has been busy implementing the edict of the first emperor.
The old ministers are most willing to keep the old system, and the little emperor is happy to work blindly without squeaking, which is nothing more than to return the illegal occupation of land to the original landlord and military meritorious, strengthen the management of the sale and purchase of land registration, and resolutely cannot buy more good land without a title, which is very in line with the thoughts of the old ministers.
Cao Shi disdainfully turned his head.
Secretly scolding the old antiques who eat the ancients, and the national policy of Huang Lao Wuwei as a guide, recuperating and recuperating and the people without disturbance, has evolved into a rigid dogma and mediocre people who don't know how to be flexible in the hands of this group of wine bags and rice bags
The Han family inherited from the Great Qin's farming and warfare system, and if he didn't expand, he was asking for his own death.
Governing the country is a complex and delicate work, and it is not a simple chemical practice, the same practical results can be obtained if the conditions are appropriate, and the complexity of governing the country is not as simple as the dogmatists imagine.
"The minister has a different opinion! The minister thought that it would be okay to go to the Longxi Plateau to explore the way, Huang Lao's inaction does not mean inaction, let alone inaction, and the prime minister often threatens with Han law It is very strange, Emperor Taizu Gao has been on the throne for 12 years, and he has not stopped the crusade for a moment, so Huang Lao Wuwei can't move? It is not right to be dogmatic and rigid. ”
"Don't be ashamed!" Tingwei Niu seemed to be very dissatisfied with him, and a few words of ridicule came out at every turn.
Cao Shi has never been accustomed to anyone's temper: "If Tingwei has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, the yin and yang weirdness sneered and sneered at the non-human son." ”
"How dare you call me a son of man?" Niu Yu was furious, as if he scolded that it was not a thing, how could he accept it.
Bang!
Liu Che shouted with a dark face: "Shut up for me!" It is a good thing for the meritorious children to open up the territory and expand the territory, and the benefits of the expansion of the territory will be divided in half between the court and the meritorious children, and the matter will be decided. ”
For the next month, the Guanzhong military meritorious lords were collectively mobilized.
Their goal is to point directly at the Longxi Plateau, and the date is set in the warm and humid spring, which is an expansion with the theme of making money.
Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, was busy with official business, and sent the middle doctor Wuyang Hou Fan Itguang to personally see off the children of the princes who went west.
Along the way, the children who saw off the children lined up to send out one trip after another, the children waved goodbye to their fathers and brothers with tears, and were grabbed by their mothers and smacked a few times on their buttocks, and suddenly they didn't dare to cry, and they wiped away their tears pitifully and followed their mothers with a smirk, according to the customs of the Han family, it is a happy event, because going on the expedition means that meritorious service is rewarded and the wife is the son, and it is very unlucky to cry.
Watching the team of the Han family's sons gradually move away, the old princes, who were accustomed to parting from life and death, had already left early in the carriage.
Wuyang Hou Fan Qiguang sighed: "I really want to go there to see in person, to see that magical land, the bitter cold plateau can be so rich, there are salt, cattle and sheep, good horses and precious medicinal materials." ”
"If you have the opportunity, you can go there to see and see, it is indeed a rare pure land." Cao Shi's mind recalled the bits and pieces of his journey to the west, and he was thinking about the prospect of recruiting Shengrong.
Yuan Chong was sent out, and he represented the main interests of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, taking with him the Hou Mansion's 1oo skilled guards with bows and horses, whose duty was to recruit the local Shengrong Qiang people and protect the safety and interests of the team from being harmed.
There is another plan to send Yuan Chong, the sons of Xun Gui are skilled in arching and brave and good at fighting, short of strategy and short-sightedness is also the biggest problem, using the huge prestige accumulated by Yuan An, and Yuan Chong's wisdom is recognized by the world, can barely suppress that group of arrogant soldiers.
Most of the meritorious princes use a similar combination, henchmen or nephews of the family lead people to the plateau, and the princes will not go to the plateau in person.
At least they will not go to the plateau for the time being, and this group of people is equivalent to the advance team of the way, probing the attitude and tone of the people who are born and strong. (To be continued)
