"Come in." Listen to the voice of an extremely young person. Liu Ze followed the steward into the Lingyue Pavilion, where a large group of dancing girls gathered their water sleeves and were retreating to the back hall, on the front seat, sitting upright, wearing a crown, similar in age to Liu Ze, with gorgeous clothes, handsome and rich, and graceful, it must be Liu Shuo, the king of the plains.

"The minister of Pingyuan County ordered Liu Ze to see the king of the plains." According to the Han system, the hundred officials were subordinate to the princes and kings to show the honor of the princes' status.

The king of the plains was full of smiles, so that he did not have the shelf of the king. "Sit down."

"King Xie." Liu Ze sat down in the guest seat on the left side under the arrangement of the steward.

"I heard that Liu County Ling is from Zhuo County, and he is also the queen of the imperial family?" The King of the Plains was interested in Liu Ze's origin.

"After the minister was King Jing of Zhongshan, the ancestor was named the Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion and lived in Zhuo County for three hundred years." Liu Ze told the truth.

The King of the Plains smiled and said: "Since you and I are both descendants of Gaozu and Miao and have the same roots as our ancestors, we don't need to be formal, we should be commensurate with brothers." ”

"How dare you, the minister is from a humble background, and the king is a king, if he is commensurate with brothers, will he not mess up his dignity."

"You're a prince?" A strange look flashed in the eyes of the Plains King, and he sighed softly.

Seeing that there was some coldness, Liu Ze hurriedly said: "The minister is a little polite, not a respect, and please accept it with a smile." As he spoke, he looked at Pan Feng. Pan Feng comprehended and immediately presented the pair of large cages.

The King of the Plains was a little excited when he first heard the word gift, and when Pan Feng put the pair of big cages in front of the hall and removed the red cloth covering the cages. I just glanced at it with my peripheral vision, and then my eyes lit up, and I was not very surprised.

"Isn't this the peacock produced in the south of Yizhou?"

"Exactly. This bird is called green peacock, native to the humid and hot land in the south of Yizhou, this bird likes warmth and is afraid of cold, so it is extremely rare in the north. Because of its colorful wings, it is called the king of birds, especially when the male peacock opens the screen, the color is colorful and dazzling. It is a rare spectacle in the world. ”

Plains was amazed. "Lonely early heard the name of the peacock. I didn't get it, and I regretted it in my life, and now Runde gave me a sacred bird to get my wish. The Lone King thanked him. ”

"There, there. A little meaning. If the king likes it, it's fine. ”

The king of the plains was in a good mood, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet and prepare to get drunk with Liu Ze.

Liu Ze hurriedly said: "The county office is busy with official business. The minister did not dare to bother, so he retired. ”

The King of the Plains insisted. "Just a county office, what important things can be, your brothers rarely meet, and today you will definitely not get drunk and not return."

Liu Ze took the opportunity to report the affairs of the stewards of the Plains Mansion who occupied the land outside the city one by one, and the Plains King was furious when he heard this, and urgently ordered the stewards to come over for questioning.

When the stewards came back, the banquet was ready, and Liu Ze couldn't resist the warm invitation of the King of the Plains, so he drank several glasses in a row. There were singing and dancing during the banquet, and they were happy.

Before the banquet dissipated, the foreign stewards were already waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

"According to Liu County's order, how many of you are bullying the good and occupying the people's land outside, can you have such a thing?" The King of the Plains had a blue face at this time, and shouted loudly.

A few stewards trembled, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't say why for a long time.

The King of the Plains was furious, and after a few shots, the wine jugs on the case were all shaken to the ground. "You bastards, Lone's reputation, let you ruin it! Get down, everyone go to the torture chamber to receive twenty rods, and when you go back, return all the land you have occupied, and if you are found to be tyrannical in the name of Gu, be careful of your heads. ”

Obviously, the king of the plains was rarely angry, but at this time he was so frightened that several stewards trembled, and after kowtowing and thanking him, he retreated.

"Usually the lonely king is negligent in management, which makes these slaves and maids so bold and reckless, which makes Runde smile." The Plains King's complexion softened slightly.

"The king has a lot of opportunities, and these trivial things can be handled there."

"What's the day?" The King of the Plains smiled indifferently and said, "Lonely is just a flying eagle and a lackey all day long, admiring flowers and grass." How about Runde, is you interested in seeing the strange flowers and plants of the Lone King? ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Since the King of the Plains invited, there was a reason for refusal.

The King of the Plains laughed heartily, and could see that he was very happy today, and his smile was very sunny and bright.

Liu Ze handed over the cage containing the peacock to the palace steward and told him how to feed it and pay attention to keeping warm in winter. The stewards of the palace responded one by one, knowing that the king of the plains liked this peacock very much, and the stewards dared to be lazy.

When he first entered the palace, it was just a glimpse, but now Liu Ze has visited the entire palace under the guidance of the King of the Plains. Rather than saying that this is the palace, it is better to say that it is a huge botanical garden and zoo, the flowers and plants that do not recognize the knowledge are purple and red, the spring is the time when a hundred flowers bloom, and the plain palace at this time is even more gorgeous and colorful, I have seen the Luoyang peony of the world, and the peony of the plain palace is not inferior to Luoyang at all.

A large flock of white swans frolicked gracefully in the lake, the white-fronted tiger encircled in a cage let out a low roar at the sight of the living, and the golden monkey leisurely swinged in the wide cage. However, what made Liu Ze's eyes shine was that a large group of pigeons landed on the grass.

The King of the Plains threw out a handful of grain, and countless pigeons swarmed in front of the King of the Plains, cooing and cooing. The King of the Plains laughed and said, "These pigeons are the easiest to raise, no matter how far they fly, as long as it is time to eat, they can always fly back." ”

Liu Ze's mind suddenly moved, pigeon, isn't this the best messenger? In the Han Dynasty, communications were still transmitted by stagecoaches, and the 600-mile rush was already the fastest speed, and the carrier pigeon could fly thousands of kilometers a day. There is a clear record in history that the earliest use of carrier pigeons was Zhang Jiuling of the Tang Dynasty, but in the Han Dynasty, pigeons have long become a poultry for the people, especially the children of nobles, to enjoy, but people have not yet realized the importance of pigeons as messengers.

Liu Ze suddenly had a bold idea, to cultivate a group of excellent carrier pigeons, to establish a set of carrier pigeon communication network covering the whole country, and to combine it with the intelligence system of Jinyingwei, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the speed and reliability of intelligence transmission. When applied to marching and fighting, it will be a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, just imagine how shocking the effect will be after increasing the speed of military messaging by a full five times. Information warfare is indispensable both in modern and ancient times, and whoever can grasp the priority of information will firmly occupy the initiative.

Seeing Liu Ze's obsessed look, the king of the plain thought that he also liked pigeons, and said with a smile: "If Runde likes it, you might as well pick a few pigeons and go back to play." ”

Liu Ze came back to his senses and said respectfully: "These pigeons are the king's favorite things, although the minister also likes pigeons, but how can he win the king's love?" ”

"It's just a few pigeons, ordinary things, how can they be compared to the peacock that Runde gave to the lonely, Runde is in charge of picking it directly." The Plains King didn't care.

"But the minister was disrespectful." Liu Ze had already been itching, and he couldn't wait to keep all the pigeons of the Plains King as his own.

In the previous life, Liu Ze had a small love of pigeons, and won the ranking in the national pigeon competition, he could see at a glance whether the pigeons were good or bad, Liu Ze often played at his house, and more or less mastered some skills in selecting and cultivating pigeons. Five pairs of pigeons were selected from this flock of pigeons, one pair of raindrops, two pairs of white pigeons, and two pairs of gray pigeons.

The king of the plains couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, Liu Ze picked up, but it was the best five pairs of pigeons in his group.

"I didn't expect Runde to be a master of knowing pigeons, his eyes are so poisonous, these five pairs of pigeons are the best pigeons in the lone pigeon flock, and they are all picked up by you."

Liu Ze secretly said in his heart, if you want to pick the best pigeons, I want to be a breeder. Regardless of the size of the pigeons selected by Liu Ze, only those pigeons with hard bones, uniform and elastic muscles, thin and tight wings, bright and spiritual eyes, only such pigeons have the possibility of becoming carrier pigeons, and those pigeon with fat and dull eyes are estimated to be able to only be stewed.

"If the king is not willing to part with his love, the minister will let go."

The King of the Plains laughed and said: "The Lonely King has a word first, how can he regret it, Runde likes it, take it." ”

Liu Zegong thanked him, and exchanged his experience with the king of the plains, Liu Ze naturally confided in the skills of knowing the pigeon and raising pigeons that he had learned in his previous life, and the king of the plains listened to it with a heart and was intoxicated, and he didn't feel that the sun was sinking.

Liu Ze got up to say goodbye, the king of the plains was still unsatisfied, and tried his best to invite Liu Ze to come to the palace when he was free, obviously they had a good conversation today, and the king of the plains introduced Liu Ze as a confidant.

"Forgive the ministers for being rude, as the order of a county, the official affairs are trivial, and I am afraid that there will be no flaws to meet with the king." Liu Ze didn't have much spare time, and he came to the palace all day long, and this pampered plain king Moji, who had a lot of leisure all day long.

The king of the plains sighed and said, "Hey, how good it would be if the lonely king had Runde's background, galloping across the field, ruling on the side, and doing something useful for the people and the society, it would not be in vain to suffer in this afterlife." ”

Liu Ze was secretly surprised, this king of the plains has a noble status, but he can be regarded as born with a golden spoon, he wants the wind to get the wind, and he wants the rain to get the rain, is it still a tasteless life?

"Under the king alone, above tens of millions, why is there such a sigh?"

"Runde, you and I have a good relationship, so you might as well speak up today. We, the princes and kings, seem to enjoy all the glory and wealth, and are majestic, but we are also like thin ice, trembling. This fiefdom is just a larger prison. You also need to rely on people's breath, and if you are not careful, you will be reduced to a lord at the least, and you will lose your life at the worst. Only by placing affection on the landscape, grass and trees, and indulging in the sound of dogs and horses, can we dispel this boredom and loneliness. There are officials like Runde who ask for officials for the people, and they act recklessly, even officials like Lin Hai and Liu Ping don't pay attention to them, and the real husband is really temperamental. The face of the King of the Plains revealed helplessness and sadness. (To be continued......)
