Chapter 174 Hesitation

Liu Min was silent and didn't speak, the expression on his face changed quickly, Gou Shen said to strike while the iron was hot, and then said: "As for Gou Shen and Huangmenlang Zhang Lin met, they were in Chang'an Restaurant. ”

Liu Min of Chang'an Restaurant also knew it, frowned and asked, "Where are you drinking and having fun?" ”

"No, Gou Shen actually didn't know Zhang Lin before, that day Gou Shen had just arrived in Chang'an from Yingchuan County, and His Majesty had not yet promoted Gou Shen to be edicted, and at that time he was reunited with his old friends Yang Yun, Zhang Meng, Gan Yanshou and Zhu Bo, and everyone was just talking together...... It was at that time that Gou Shen met Huang Menlang. ”

"What is it that I met Zhang Lin? What was he doing there? ”

Gou Shen replied: "At that time, there was a woman who accompanied Yang Yun to go out to run errands, and after a while, she was beaten by Zhang Lin and crashed in through the door. ”

"Gou Shen and Yang Yun didn't know what was going on, and later I learned that Huang Menlang probably thought that woman was beautiful and wanted people to accompany him to drink......

Liu Min will be angry: "What kind of woman who accompanies the wine, that is the shameless and lowly singer!" ”

"Huang Menlang! Did Zhang Lin just want the woman to drink with him? According to the main palace, it's not that simple, right? ”

Gou Shen was a little restrained, and said, "Yes, oh, no...... It's just that Zhang Lin moved his hands and feet to the woman, and the woman refused to obey, saying that she would not sell herself, so Huang Menlang was angry, so he beat the woman. ”

Gou Shen said as he paid attention to Liu Min's reaction.

Liu Min was really a little angry, she gently tapped her fingers on the desk, and Gou Shen hurriedly said: "These are not made up by Gou Shen, the princess can ask Yu Yong and Taifu's son Xiao Yu." They were all there. ”

Xiao Yu has always had some fame in Chang'an. It's a little different from Zhang Lin. Liu Min nodded when he heard this: "I don't blame you, no wonder!" ”

Gou Shen didn't care what Liu Min said, no wonder, his heart said that his goal had been achieved, this would Bing Ji die again, Liu Xun has always regarded Bing Ji as his adoptive parents, Weiyang Palace and the court must have a memorial, it is a troubled time, and he still has to leave Jinhua Hall early.

"Princess. Gou Shen retired first. ”

Liu Min was in a very bad mood, looked at Gou Shen, and nodded: "You go." ”

Gou Shen walked a few steps, and Liu Min shouted behind him: "Don't forget what you said, three days!" ”

Starting from Emperor Wu, whenever there is a natural disaster, the Son of Heaven will order someone to send ten pieces of wine and a cow to the prime minister, to show that as the son of heaven, he is not virtuous, and the world is turbulent, so that the prime minister has worked hard.

The meaning of sending wine and sending cattle. One is a reward, and the other is to praise the prime minister for his tireless work like an ox. At this time, the prime minister often writes that he has no way to assist the government, so he will resign.

This is actually a way to pass the buck to each other, of course, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to abdicate, so there may be the intention of the prime minister to resign, as for whether the prime minister will agree to the resignation of the prime minister, that is another matter, and this tradition has been retained.

But by the time of Emperor Xuan Liu Xun, it is accurate to say that during the years that Bing Ji was the prime minister, this tradition had never happened, which shows that Liu Xun, the son of heaven, treated Bing Ji with extraordinary feelings.

Gou Shen thought all the way, and soon returned to the edict office, and sure enough, the edict was read to him and asked him to "go back first".

Gou Shen quietly looked at the decree, and this edict also felt that the edict of the Son of Heaven was a little vague, and he also looked at Gou Shen and reiterated again: "It's to let you - 'go back first'."

Go back first, and then what to do, no one knows.

This is neither to rob Gou Shen of his status as an edict, nor to punish his rank, but simply to let him go back, which can be understood as thinking about it behind closed doors at home, or it can be regarded as turning himself in and waiting for the further disposition of the Son of Heaven.

Chang'an was a bit chaotic at this time, although it was a romantic spring like flowers, but due to the death of Bing Ji, the whole city became gloomy.

Gou Shen went all the way home, washed and ate as always, and in the evening, running, archery, stretching his muscles, tying the rope and waving the machete in his left and right hands, until his whole body was sweating like washing.

The bright moon was in sight, Gou Shen looked at the semi-circular moon in the night sky through the branches, and said in his heart what he was going to do in the future?

Originally, I wanted to climb Xu Haoming's thigh, relying on him, relying on Xu Guanghan, maybe I would be able to do something in the Han Dynasty in the future, but it was up to me, Emperor Liu Xun promoted himself to a height that he had never thought of, and made the Yingshui County Order.

How vigorous and resolute it was to eradicate the four major families of Yingchuan last year, I thought that I would be able to enjoy it freely in Yingshui in the future, but who would have thought that I would never go back if I was called Chang'an.

If going to Jinmamen to be an edict is really like Zhang Meng and Zhu Bo saying that they are close to the center of power, it is a great opportunity, but now that they have been ordered to go home because of Chen Tang's affairs, should they be happy or sad?

It's always going up, and everyone is happy, but if you don't advance and retreat, who can be willing?

Success, because of the Son of Heaven Liu Xun, defeat, but also because of the Son of Heaven Liu Xun, the will of Heaven is everything, and having power is the foundation of establishing a life in the Han Dynasty.

Originally, she wanted to get close to Princess Jingwu and be able to pave the way for the future, but now Princess Jingwu really seems to be interested in herself, but she doesn't even have the opportunity to go to Weiyang Palace, so how can she implement the next plans?

Gou Shen realized even more that in the face of absolute power, he, a small official of the Han Dynasty with a rank of 600 stones, was simply a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning.

In such a right-first society, there is everything with power, and it is not enough to have money alone, you must be an official, a big official, and a big power! That way you don't get bullied.

Otherwise, like the original family, the Chu family, the Han Jia and the Wang family in Yingchuan County, the four major families, there is so much money, but it will not be collapsed by himself and Huang Ba in an instant, and there will be nothing?

Being a rich man like Yang Yun and spending his life leisurely is not what Gou Shen wants.

Moreover, Yang Yun has a deep background, his brother and nephew are both eunuchs in the court, and there are people who run for him if something happens. But what basis do you have in the Western Han Dynasty?

Unlucky, who cares about their little edict?

Gou Shen meditated on the moon. But the hand does not stop. A breath surged in his chest. Holding the knife in his hand and swinging it out violently, only to hear a "click", the rope wrapped around the arm was actually broken, and the bound stone fell behind the tree with a "bang", and the knife in Gou Shen's hand was split on the stone pier in front of him, and the sparks splashed everywhere, and the stone pier was split in half by Gou Shen's knife.

Gou Shen was stunned for a moment, and looked at the bladeless knife that had been rolled up through the moonlight. He gently kicked the ruined stone pier again and took a deep breath.

Gou Shen didn't complain at all about the Chen Tang who brought him bad luck, in fact, he felt that he and Chen Tang were the same to some extent, they were the same type of people, but Chen Tang was more unlucky than himself.

Now that he is ordered by the emperor to "go home", he is not in a dispute with a certain Han official, in that case, he can also let Xu Haoming, Zhang Chang and others help mediate.

Reasoning with the Son of Heaven, there is no door.

Now. No one can help, no one can help themselves.

……

The next day. Gou Shen asked people to buy some strings and flutes, and then fixed the strings to the kite first, and then released them.

Sure enough, the wind blew on the strings, and Zheng Zheng made a pleasant sound, which made Hua Hong and Bingnu, as well as Yingdong, Lianxi, Ruonan, and Huaibei several maids all smile, and felt that their master could always make something surprising by surprise.

Since Bing Ji is in the sky, Gou Shen will fly the kite very low to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After the test flight was successful, he was ready to tie the flute to the kite.

In his previous life, because he was bored and just to pass the time, Gou Shen enrolled in a national art club in college, where he learned the performance of some national musical instruments, especially the flute, and once did a flute solo at the school literary party.

As for why Gou Shen favors the flute among many Chinese musical instruments, there is no other reason, just because the flute is cheaper than other musical instruments that often cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Once, his bamboo flute was bought on the street for seven yuan.

It's not that he doesn't like other musical instruments, but he can't afford them, and he always borrows them from others.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the flute was called "篴", "vertical 篴" or "Qiang flute", "vertical blowing", "shakuhachi", "Tongdong" and other names, "Xiao" originally referred to the pan flute, and after the Tang Dynasty, it specifically referred to the vertical blowing of the flute, that is, the hole flute.

The Qiang flute was originally a musical instrument of the Qiang people, and originally there were only four holes, that is, three sound holes and a nozzle hole, but now the popular hole flute of the Han Dynasty is a five-hole five-hole flute.

Gou Shen looked at the flute of these five holes, thought about it, opened three more holes with utensils, and made the same eight-hole flute as the later generations, and then played it a few times to the mouth, tuned the tone, and then polished the hole mouth, and the timbre of the hole flute was much mellower and elegant.

Hua Hong saw that Gou Shen had fiddled with the hole flute, so she cut off a cup of tea for him, and when she saw Gou Shen drinking, she asked, "How can the master still make musical instruments?" It's really more ingenious than Luban. ”

Gou Shen smiled: "Lu Ban doesn't have such a good internal help as a bonus." ”

Hua Hong and Gou Shen are now like lacquer and gum honey, but listening to Gou Shen laughing with himself in front of everyone, he is still a little uncomfortable, and he is shy.

Gou Shen said casually like this, Bingnu is nothing, because Gou Shen has no outsiders to talk like this, she is used to it, but Yingdong and Lianxi feel that Gou Shen is approachable and is a difficult good family owner.

Early this morning, Yang Yun arrived at Wuyi Lane, and as soon as he saw Gou Shen, he asked: "Your edict has really become a 'edict' now, but the location has changed from Jinmamen to Wuyi Lane." ”

It seems that everyone knows that Gou Shen was ordered to "go back".

Yang Yun spoke casually to himself, which was a manifestation of intimacy, Gou Shen smiled and asked Yang Yun to go to the front hall, Yang Yun chuckled and said: "That's okay, everyone else is busy, we can have a leisurely time, not too happy." ”

Yang Yun looked at Gou Shen and felt that he had the same meaning of sympathy with him: "The Son of Heaven has an edict to make the officials of the Han State mourn for Bing Ji for three months...... Hey, what's new with you? (To be continued......)
