Chapter 67: The Transaction of the Liehou
Liu Che is indeed very worried, there is a group of henchmen who have played since childhood, and he is loyal and reliable to his brother-in-law Cao Shi, and the hundreds of officials and ministers in the court don't think much of him, and maybe they treat Liu Che as a teenage child. 》
Under such circumstances, Liu Che trembled and began the first month of supervising the country, and his head was about to explode in the face of complicated national affairs, but fortunately, Wei Juan and Zhi Budo often went in and out of the palace to teach the prince how to deal with the most basic government affairs.
And Cao Shi is in Chang'an Ruyin Marquis Mansion at this moment, today is his uncle Ruyin Marquis Xiahou's fifty-third birthday, it stands to reason that the birthday is not a full five or ten is just a family meal to pull down, but this year's situation is very different.
Xiahou Ci not only had to do a big special event, but also invited the big and small meritorious liehous and Hou Shizi in Chang'an City, and the scale was twice as large as his fiftieth birthday, after all, the Xiahou family used to be very close to the Lu family, and many liehou bought the Xiahou family's account than Tai.
Today, all the meritorious princes have come, and they are not here to celebrate Xiahou's birthday, but to take this opportunity to gather everyone to discuss things.
"What the hell is going on? The Son of Heaven suddenly changed his temperament, and I was so scared that I had nightmares for several nights, do you know what nightmares I was doing? Beheaded! I was beheaded every night, and it almost scared me to death! ”
"I said that the Hou of Qiu was a little timid, did he scare his pants? Hahahaha......"
"Hehe, I'm scared to pee, I heard that the person who was cut in half was in severe pain, and he wailed for a quarter of an hour before he died, and that miserable can't be mentioned!"
"Who says it isn't! We often live in Chang'an City, when the East City did not cut a few people in half, I still remember the scene of the wrong waist beheading, struggling and shouting in the court clothes of the imperial doctor, and being forcibly detained by the Northern Army on the execution table and stabbed, it was really enjoyable! ”
"No! I have a stomachache and an internal urgency, you continue to talk, I'll go out first. Tang Xian, the Marquis of Qiuqiu, suddenly stood up and hurriedly drilled into the backyard.
The princes laughed, and the young princes covered their stomachs and laughed with tears, scolding the marquis Tang Xian for his notoriously small courage, and he couldn't hold it when he was frightened by their partnership.
The servants of the Marquis of Ruyin Mansion hurriedly served the dishes, and there were sixty kinds of dishes in the same way, each dish was unheard of, and the princes who were used to seeing big scenes couldn't help but exclaim.
"Good guy, there are many kinds of dishes, could it be that the Ruyin Hou family also has a top character like the Marquis of Pingyang?"
Xiahou Ci smiled and bowed his hand: "There is no such talent in my Hou Mansion, my nephew is also a pure filial piety person, knowing that the old man is going to celebrate his birthday, he specially transferred a few cooks from Pingyang Hou Mansion to make dishes for the birthday banquet." ”
"Sure enough, it's from the Pingyang Hou family, it's no wonder that we can make such exquisite food, thank you for the hospitality of the Marquis of Ruyin and the Marquis of Pingyang, we are welcome."
"Please!"
The princes picked up the dagger and the food chopsticks and attacked the delicacies on the plate, I have to say that the etiquette cultivated since childhood is not simple, even if the appearance of gobbling up no one is ugly, eating mutton with bones, beef with tendons, and fish with thorns have special eating skills, and hundreds of liehous have almost the same action, which is really breathtaking.
The dance music started, the singers of the Ruyin Marquis Mansion danced, and the eating movements of the princes gradually slowed down, and they began to carefully taste the salty, fresh and delicious fish soup, tender and juicy roast venison, the same piece of roast venison can only be made by the chef of the Pingyang Hou Mansion to make people linger deliciously, so that more and more liehou did everything possible to go to the Pingyang Hou Mansion to eat, if it were not for the restriction that the gentleman did not take advantage of the people, the Cao family's kitchen would have been looted long ago.
The old man who sat at the top of his hand, his snow-white beard and eyes were shining, and his body was fat, tall and burly in person, and the old man suddenly bowed: "Thank you Pingyang Hou for speaking to the Son of Heaven, the old man's inferior son Fu'er was promoted to Captain of the Cavalry, and the Son of Heaven personally promised that if he had merit, he would be crowned as a marquis." ”
Cao Shi's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly replied: "Guo Gong is a hero of the world admired by all the people, and I am just a sixteen-year-old weak-crowned young man, so I don't dare to worship Guo Gong in the future." ”
This person is the famous Li Ji, the person who betrayed the Zhao King Lu Lu was this king, his father was the founding general Li Shang in the early Han Dynasty, and his younger brother Miao Hou Li Jian sat beside him, and worshiped Cao Shi with his brother.
After Zhou Bo's death, he was supposed to be sent to the princes, but it is a pity that the Son of Heaven has been eyeing a leader in the princes very early, as early as the second year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, Li Ji's head cramped and had to marry the mother-in-law of the Son of Heaven.
Later, because the criticism was too loud, the Son of Heaven took a step back and sealed Li Ji's younger brother Li Jian as Miao Hou to block the mouth of the world.
The Son of Heaven was not long in his life, Cao Shi built the Son of Heaven to appease the liehous, the best way is to raise the deposed liehous, the Marquis of the Zhou family has just been wiped out for most of it, and it will be impossible to screw it back for a while, unless the Son of Heaven admits his stupidity by slapping himself, which is almost impossible to do, so retreat to the second place to promote some less important liehous.
For example, the abolition of Pingqu Hou Liji, and the abolition of Wuyang Hou Fan belong to it.
"Fan Itguang's Shaofeng is not difficult, but it's a pity that Pingquhou's Shaofeng is difficult to do." Cao Shi's eyes fell on Miao Hou Lijian, at this time, Wei Qing, who was a five-marquis, was still a child, and no one except the Lu family had done it, even if the Li family was strong, it would be impossible to do it.
Li Ji sighed: "I haven't had any extravagant hopes, as long as Fu'er can have a chance to turn over." ”
Cao Shi said with deep meaning: "The Son of Heaven is not impeaching the princes, it does not mean that the law will condone the princes to break the law, the Son of Heaven has warned the princes before leaving, it is different from the scene more than ten years ago, many of the princes are arrogant and arrogant and lawless, and now the prince is in the court to supervise the country's governance is the time to establish authority, the princes must cherish their thrones, do not do bad acts that violate the Han law, otherwise no one can be saved." ”
The princes thought so, but some people didn't think so, Cao Shi didn't break it in his eyes when he saw it one by one, there was no shortage of people who loved to die these years, and they knew that it was a sea of swords and fires, and they had to try it, and they had to make them pay a painful price to have a deterrent effect on this kind of people.
Chen He walked over with a smile and said, "Pingyang Hou, I have to thank you for your help!" The paper workshop makes a profit of more than 500 yuan a day, although the competition is fierce, but this money is easy to come by! If there is any good business in the future, you must think about the brothers. ”
"You've taken advantage of a lot, what else do you want?"
"Hehe, or Pingyang Hou understands us, the carriage's business is good, how about we get involved?"
Cao Shi rolled his eyes, he knew the temperament of these guys very well, and estimated that he had been eyeing the carriage business for a long time, but he was embarrassed to mention it, these liehous had not inherited the benefits of Pingyang Hou, if it weren't for the marquis of Pingyang who promised to let the Pingyang Marquis Mansion open a mine and set up a shop in Kanto without any obstruction, he would have been embarrassed to come out to see him.
"Isn't it just a four-** carriage? If you want to do it, you can give it to you, civil carriages, and carriages that pull goods, but I want to say in advance that good business and favor should be separated, and recently I want a lot of people to dig mountains and stones, and you must spend money to find a way to solve it yourself, you must find me enough stone and stone, as well as sand and limestone, as long as you can meet my requirements, the carriage business will be handed over to you to do, and the iron business will also be discussed. ”
The princes widened their eyes and said happily: "Is what the Marquis of Pingyang said true? ”
Cao Shi Zhengse said: "I never lie when I speak!" However, you princes are very wrong to think that my request is very simple, these stones, sand, limestone are not valuable, as long as the hired workers excavate and use carts and horses to spread and transport to the Chang'an wharf, so my request is very, very large. ”
"How big?"
"The tomb of King Qin in Lishan is so big."
The princes looked at each other, Lishan is a very taboo place for the Han family, unlike the later wars and turmoil, which have long forgotten that there is a tomb of the Qin king, in the early Han Dynasty, everyone had an ancestral dragon in Lishan, Chen Shi was going to repair the Lishan tomb and did not want to go to rebel, Yingbu escaped from the prisoners of the Lishan tomb and returned to his hometown to be a water thief.
There is also a very unlucky legend in the early Han Dynasty, although the ancestral dragon will suddenly be resurrected in a certain way, so there are many soldiers and horses buried in the tomb, just thinking about it makes the Han family uneasy to sleep.
Qin Shi Huang is still not at ease when he is dead, and he has to spread a rumor to make the Han family uncomfortable, so it is taboo to talk about the tomb of King Qin in Lishan throughout the country.
Chen He pinched his throat and asked, "Zishou, are you crazy?" What the hell do you want so much sand and gravel for? ”
Cao Shi spread out his hands and explained slowly: "You put a hundred hearts, I want to repair Chang'an for the Son of Heaven, this is also a big thing to get the support of the prince, not to do anything illegal and disruptive to the country, the prince specially ordered that the conscripts in Guanzhong this year will go to repair Chang'an, you just wait and watch with your eyes open!" The premise is to prepare enough stones, limestone and sand for me within two months, please prepare as much as possible day and night, and I will give you satisfactory benefits at that time! ”
