The peaceful days lasted until the end of June, Cao Shi's life and rest were adjusted to the best state, and the bad habits of loving nightlife in his previous life were also completely changed, and he gradually developed the habit of turning off the lights and going to bed on time as soon as it was dark in the Hou Mansion.

The lack of nightlife also made him feel bored, the writer Fan Itguang arranged a tight schedule for him, he no longer had the time to complain about his monotonous life, every day at midnight (six o'clock in the morning) to get up and wash, eat and rest for half an hour, and then practice for half an hour in the morning, read according to the arrangement of the writer in the morning, and practice riding, archery and martial arts in the afternoon.

Although the door doctor Sun Qi is very different from the prince's riding skills, archery, and technical fighting skills have regressed greatly, but what makes him happy is that although the prince has become very vegetable, he has also worked harder than before, he can't understand the complex thoughts of experiencing the second person, and the reliance on the cold weapon era is not the rule of law, but a strong body and weapons in his hands.

Cao Shi's life creed is that if he can't beat it, at least he can escape, even if he can't get mixed up in the Han Dynasty with 10,000 steps back, he can also carry a three-foot Qingfeng sword to be an ancient traveler, maybe the notes he left behind thousands of years later can be sold for a sky-high price.

The crooked little thoughts in his heart are not enough, the most headache for him is to settle accounts, the territory of Pingyang Houguo is not small, there are many people, there are more than 22,000 households, more than 91,100 people, the household registration and population are about one-tenth of Hedong County, and it is second only to Hedong County in Hedong County.

It's just that after the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the military power of the princes and kings was taken away, and the princes were also unfortunately affected by the guns, and now the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is only left with the privilege of collecting the Hou State's clothing, food, rent and tax, and all the governance rights have been taken back by the Hou Lingchang Ding, who is directly under the management of the Hedong Taishou, and there is no need to take care of the attitude of the liehous.

Within two days, the princess's family ordered Hu Sui to come to see him, and Uncle Chen felt that the prince was in good health to meet the guests before letting him enter the Hou Mansion.

Hu Sui is not good-looking, and he is also very short, but he has a pair of mouse eyes shining, and when he entered the main hall of the Hou Mansion, he leaned over and saluted: "Foreign Minister Hu Sui visited the prince, and Her Royal Highness the princess asked her to greet the prince, and the princess said that this year's Chen Jing was not good, and the great wizard of the capital prayed to heaven a few months ago, and learned that the wrath of the gods would have a catastrophe to descend, and it was really fulfilled in Guanzhong in just three months." ”

The position of the Marquis of Pingyang is not closed, a few days ago it was rumored that the Beijing division had three earthquakes a day, and the Wadang of Changle Weiyang trembled, which alarmed the blind old lady in the Changxin Palace to inquire about the disaster, and the Son of Heaven issued an edict to the county to strengthen the vigilance in order to deal with the old lady, and the conscription in the earthquake area repaired the houses to treat the victims.

The earthquake was felt strongly in Sanfu, and the Shangyong earthquake in the south of Guanzhong was felt on the 22nd, the houses collapsed, the city wall was destroyed, thousands of residents were buried in the rubble, the dead and injured were uncountable, the earthquake affected Sanfu, Sanhe and other areas, millions of people were affected by the earthquake disaster, and at least more than 100,000 people were displaced.

The turmoil caused by an earthquake is not only that, many strange and bizarre rumors are quietly circulating in the market, people inside and outside the Beijing division are panicked, no one can tell what terrible things will happen, and the divination of several great wizards is also a big murderer, and the prime minister Taohou Liu She was disturbed by a mess of bad things.

Hu Sui flattered and leaned over and said: "Yesterday, Her Royal Highness the princess sent someone to send a message, Her Royal Highness the princess urged the prince to enter the capital to gather together, since the end of the mourning period, Her Royal Highness the princess hopes that the prince will live like a year, and she is very worried when she learns that the prince is sick, and if it is not for the uneasiness of the princess, she will definitely come to serve the prince in person." ”

"Why should the Hu family order be anxious these days, you have lived in the Hou Mansion for many days, and you should know the recovery of the Junhou, and when the Junhou's body is well, he will go to Jingshi." Uncle Chen doesn't like Hu Sui very much, he thinks that this person is a cunning person who is good at sycophancy, and he is always on guard when talking to such a person, most of the people in the Hou Mansion also have similar views, and most of the places where Hu Sui has passed are cross-eyebrows and cold eyes.

"The mourning period of the prince has expired, according to the system, you must participate in the sacrifice in August, in August, the Son of Heaven led the princes, kings, and princes to sacrifice gold to the temple to help the sacrifice, if the prince does not go to the time limit, I am afraid that he will be punished by the Son of Heaven, and this punishment may be lost." Hu Sui said something that should not be said, which attracted the angry reprimand of several Houfu horse washers.

"Hu Jialing's words are reckless, and he is very disrespectful to the prince and marquis, and he should be whipped 200 times."

"You are just a slave who dares to blackmail the prince, and you deserve to be killed today!"

On the left, he said that he would be whipped 200 times, and on the right, he said that he deserved to be killed, and the door doctor Sun of the force value blasting table pressed the long sword, and his gloomy gaze swept around Hu Sui's neck, and the frightened Hu Sui was sweating profusely, and he knelt down and begged for mercy with a puff: "The prince spares his life, and when he makes a mistake in his lower head, he says disobedient words, please spare the villain's life." ”

Cao Shi held the Qingtu (tea) and smiled without saying a word, the new tea picked from Lingling County was fragrant and elegant after being fried, as the favorite drink of the king of Changsha in the past dynasties to entertain guests, in fact, there are many wild mountains in Guiyang, Lingling, Changsha and other counties, and the Jingman mountain people also love to pick it off and dry it as a drink.

"The prince will not kill Hu Jialing with a cane, not because Hu Jialing's life is precious, but for the sake of the princess's face, spare your life, the ancients often said that eating a trench grows a wisdom, Hu Jialing will have more wisdom in the future, if there is a next time the head of the Xiang will move." Fan Itguang's words made Hu Sui's face pale with fright, and when he looked at Cao Shi, there was something called awe in his eyes.

Diao slaves bully the master, at least they will face the city, or they will abandon the city, and Hu Sui will not be able to cut off a few heads.

Several household officials took turns to scare Hu Sui, until he kept bluffing and begging for mercy, and saw that the maids serving tea and pouring water were also doing it, and the maidservants laughed at his stupid head with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he was so ashamed that he almost had to find a crack in the ground to get into.

After teasing for a while, Cao Shi instructed: "Go back and tell Princess Sù that the east of the river is separated from the Beijing Division by a river, and Pingyang can go down the river by boat to Fenglingdu in two days, and the Wei River by boat to the west can enter the Beijing Division in three days at most, and it will arrive before the July Wuyin (15th) at the latest, so please wait with peace of mind." ”

Hu Sui was pardoned, and the wolf escaped.

The officials of the Hou Mansion saw that he was like a defeated dog, and they clapped their hands in admiration and exclaimed, many people are now the same as the beginning of the prince's serious illness, more rigid and more decisive than before, some people still feel incredible when they repelled Ding Hui before, and today they scared away Hu Sui and opened their eyes, and when the Hou Mansion mentioned the prince again, there was a little more respect from the heart.

Just after the afternoon, there was a noise outside the mansion, and seven or eight blacksmiths ran into the mansion in a panic and shouted for the government to arrest people. I saw the mess in the blacksmith's workshop, the iron furnace was blocked by a pile of debris, and the iron pot and ironware were all gone.

Sun Qi hurriedly rushed back to the Hou Mansion, and when he saw that the officials in the mansion were gathered together, he told them all what he had seen and heard, and finally said: "The craftsmen said that the servants brought by Hou Lingchang raided the workshop, and a batch of freshly made iron pots were copied away, and they also took the blacksmith supervisor Lu Buxing away. ”

"Why?" Uncle Chen asked.

"It is said that it is because the Hou government buys a large amount of iron and has a problem with the use."

Everyone discussed for a while and did not see results, the official of the Hou State took the words of the Hou Commander to the Hou Mansion to pay respects, and what was disappointing was that this little official was inarticulate and did not know any questions, and it was clearly used to transmit the message as cannon fodder for the Hou Mansion's punching bag, Cao Shi of course would not step into such a clumsy trap, and waved his hand to beat the little official who sent the letter back.

"It's just too deceitful!" Cao Shi threw the wooden tablets under the hall, and the crooked red pen text on the wooden tablets was Hou Lingchang Ding Hui's reply, saying that he would take these strange or ill-used iron pots as evidence, and it was not clear what evidence he wanted to collect.

Uncle Chen glanced at the indignant expressions of the officials of the Hou Mansion, and took the lead in expressing his determination: "The prince and the marquis can deal with this fang, and the Hou Mansion has mastered his illegal behavior, and he can tell the Taishou Shen Tu Gong to arrest him for trial." ”

Spit out the last few words and suddenly murderous, Shen Tu Gong is the second son of the late Prime Minister Shen Tu Jia, the current younger brother of the late Anhou Shen Tu Contempt, Shen Tu Gong, this person has a very good political voice in the two years of governance in Hedong, and the salt production of Hedong Salt Pond has increased by 20%, and there is hope to enter the ranks of Jiuqing within ten years.

Moreover, he belongs to the meritorious liehou group, and has always been friendly with the marquis in the county, especially the Qingyan of Pingyang Houguo, and it is also related to the leadership of Pingyang Hou among the liehous.

"No, Ding Huiru has always been an ant and not to worry about, he relies on the captain Zhou Yangyou should not be underestimated, I know very well the origin of Zhou Yangyou, the son of Zhou Yang Hou Zhao Jian, after changing his surname to Zhou Yang, he was promoted all the way from Langguan to the top of the road, and at the beginning of the year, he became the governor of Hedong and fought for power with Taishou Shentu Gong, this person relied on Lieutenant Ning Cheng, and Yanmen Taishou Zhi had a close personal relationship with him."

Uncle Chen's face turned pale: "Goshawk Zhidu." ”

The names of several people who Fan it has widely pointed out are not trivial, the name of Zhidu is known to everyone, and all the princes and princes in Cao Shi's memory hate this person to the core, this person enforces the law impartially on the surface, but secretly implements the suppression strategy of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and all the cases where the common people have disputes with the princes and princes and the princes and the princes are sentenced to victory.

If they encounter strong resistance from the princes and princes, the lieutenant's northern army will let them know in an instant, and for the princes and kings who have experienced the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu and have been unprecedentedly weakened, Zhi is an enemy who cannot be provoked, and it is even more difficult to talk about the weaker princes.

Zhidu, as the loyal dog of the imperial power, bit the designated enemy fiercely, and in a sense, he did leave a good reputation in Chang'an, but his bite finally touched someone who should not be touched, the abolished prince Liu Rong.

This hand-made death finally angered the Empress Dowager Dou, and finally Zhidu lifted a stone to hit himself in the foot, and was lucky not to die by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty arranged to be a guard in Yanmen, and secretly still supported his best friend Lieutenant Ning Cheng, and Hedong Lieutenant Zhou Yangyou.

At this time, Zhidu was not dead, but it was not far from death, Cao Shi still remembered that Zhidu could not live until the last years of Emperor Jing, and when the old lady of the Dou family learned that he was still in the world, it was the day of Zhidu's death.

But Cao Shi is still in a dilemma, there are few people as upright as Zhidu among the cool officials, and if you offend the villain, you always have to worry about retribution.

"Son of Heaven Eagle Dog, Chang'an Cool Official, I have to be more cautious!"

――

ps: The 22,000 households of the Hou State are not nonsense, the population of Emperor Wu at the end of Emperor Jing was 36oo, the population at the end of Emperor Wu was 32oo, and the annual population growth rate in the early 70 years of the Han Dynasty was about 1% to 2%, and you can know that Emperor Wu would say "the sea is wasted, and the household registration is halved", Cao Zong sat on the law to exempt Hou in 91 years ago, when the Hou State had 23,000 households, combined with the population of Emperor Wu in the early years, the number of 22,000 households was already very conservative.
