Chapter 256: The First Intelligence of the Four
Liu Che ascended the high platform and announced: "Tonight's fireworks show is now over, please enjoy the beautiful scenery of the fire trees and silver flowers along the coast, wander in the night of Shangyuan, and enjoy this beautiful life!" ”
The people in the audience all sighed unfinished, and then, none of them were reluctant to go home, along the riverbank, looking at the lanterns on the willow trees on both banks, reminiscing about the grand scene just now, looking at this, it is estimated that the possibility of playing until dawn is very great.
The VIPs in the stands were also unsatisfied, Liu She sighed: "The old man is forty years old, I never thought that there would be such a strange scene in the world, Li Han took the ingenuity of creation, and created such a bizarre and beautiful thing, it is really breathtaking." ”
Tian Wei said: "Didn't Li Han say it just now, this is the scene of a peaceful and prosperous world brought about by the benevolence of my emperor and the dedication of the ministers, and the three dukes are the first of the hundred officials, and they are even more powerful, which makes people admire." ”
Liu She hurriedly arched his hand, meaning that Tian Wei praised it, and a group of people slowly walked down the high platform, standing on the side of the road and waiting for the emperor to come down.
Liu Qi stood on the high platform, looking at the brilliant lights on both sides of the strait, and was reluctant to go down for a long time, the prince Liu Cheng had already crowned the king of Qinghe, and snuggled up to his father and muttered: "It's so beautiful!" It's not like earth, it's like heaven. ”
Liu Qi stroked his youngest son's round head and smiled: "Do you like this paradise?" ”
"I like it."
"Your brother-in-law Li Han said that this is just the beginning, and the Han Dynasty will get better and better in the future, and it will become more and more like heaven. When you grow up, you have to work hard with him. ”
Liu Cheng nodded obediently and said: "I have long wanted to go to the third sister's house to play, but the prince's brother won't take me, father, can I go by myself in the future?" ”
Guangchuan Wang Liu Yue and Liu Cheng were both born to Wang Huan's sister, they were brothers, so they said to their younger brother: "The third sister is here, let's go to her later, the prince's brother said that he would not go back to Chang'an to live at night." Let's stay too. Father, is that okay? ”
Liu Qi is very willing for his children to have more contact with Li Han, he found that Liu Che has learned a lot of skills from Li Han, as a father, as a king, he is still a little selfish, and always feels that no matter how close Li Han is, those things that will be better are not as secure as his son.
"Of course you can, you are young, and you are not old enough to go to the fiefdom. Learn more skills, and you will have a better life in the future, stay and don't play stupidly, and see how your brother-in-law makes this kind of ingenious thing. ”
After getting permission, the two children cheered, after Liu Che became the crown prince, his Jiaodong King was renamed to the emperor's twelfth son, Liu Ji, and Liu Cheng and Liu Yue are also the same mother, where are they willing to stay. So, the three brothers ran down hand in hand to find their sister Liu Lian.
Even if it is reluctant, it will always disperse, and the emperor slowly walked down the high platform. The ministers immediately gathered around him, and a large group of people watched along the riverbank, discussing as they walked about whether such an event was suitable or not.
Li Han originally followed and waited for a while, but later found that no one paid attention to him at all. He snuck down, and when the group was far away, he snuck back.
The courtyard is still bustling. A large group of children pestered Liu Che and begged him to get some more fireworks for them to set off by themselves, Liu Che still likes his four younger brothers quite much, all of them were born by his own aunt, except for the youngest Liu Shun who was only four years old and followed Mrs. Wang, all three came, so that his eldest brother was full of majesty, and he agreed as soon as he was happy.
When Mrs. Wang heard that these children were not returning to the palace, instead of worrying or stopping them, she happily pulled Liu Shun and left, as if she wished her son would stay.
So, when Li Han slipped back to the manor, he saw a group of children looking at him with blank eyes and surrounding him to ask for fireworks.
Compared with the princes of later generations that Li Han understands, Liu Qi's sons are all very well-behaved good children, except for Liu Rong, who has been sadly sacrificed, Liu De, the king of Hejian, and Liu Yanyu, the king of Linjiang, are both the sons of Concubine Li, and they were still a little sloppy in the past few years, but after the death of their mother and brother, they did not dare to come out like a frosted eggplant, and the other princes were also quite regular.
Liu Qi did not deliberately use the throne to stimulate his sons like the two perverts of Tang Taizong and Kangxi, and chose the most vicious one to inherit the throne from the fight between his sons. did not raise the princes other than the prince as pigs like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the age of the sons was relatively dense, the eldest second son Liu De was only 17 years old, and the queen mother had a psychological shadow after Liu Rong's death, and did not let these children go to the domain, and their reputation in the capital was not bad.
Looking at these little princes, Li Han had a headache, he was tired for a day, and he wanted to rest, but he was surrounded by these little things, and in the end, he had to move out some dangerous fireworks to let everyone have a good time, and made some delicious food for them to supper, and then let the girls take them to sleep.
Li Han just sent a group of little guys away, and his stepfather Qi Yueshan came over, pulled him to a secluded place, and said very urgently: "Han'er, I have developed the inner line of the first series of the army before, and now I have re-selected and created four places according to your requirements, and I have also contacted the Huns, Xianbei, and several secret agents at the border gates you gave me, and they are all contacted with your waist card......"
Li Han was extremely tired, and reluctantly picked up his spirit to interrupt Qi Yueshan and said: "Very good, in the future, you will be responsible for the four, five and eight places, the person in charge is also selected by yourself, you must be reliable, I will sleep, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”
Qi Yueshan grabbed Li Han and said: "Just now I received a news, saying that Yi Zhi sent a team of 10,000 people to quietly approach the border of Yan State, and the Qiang people in Longxi also had abnormal movements, and the spies also found that there were other mysterious people who contacted them, and they had secret talks twice in Longxi County. ”
Li Han listened casually at first, but when he heard the word "Longxi", he suddenly became excited, stared at Qi Yueshan with blazing eyes and asked, "Where is Longxi?" ”
"Near Jincheng."
"Ahh Li Han scratched his chin frantically and said: "According to the day, it just so happens that the caravan led by Zhou Xiang has come to Longxi, could it be that these bastards have taken a fancy to Lao Tzu's goods?" ”
Qi Yueshan also said, "Why is it that the things your caravan brings are very valuable?" ”
Li Han smiled bitterly, of course his things are valuable, the key is that after a night of secret talks with Zhou Yafu, he felt that the armory in the underground palace of Gaonu Meridian Ridge was not safe, so he asked Zhou Yafu to take away the black dragon token, go there and camp in Meridian Ridge to rest for a few days, take the opportunity to take out all the weapons disguised as goods, and transport them to Hairpin County to return to the furnace, hide and hide, and when needed, it can be said that they are produced by themselves.
If it's an ordinary robbery, it's just that, but this time it's not that simple, Yi Zhi has always planned and then acted, and the old fox of the dead eunuch helped him, this time he definitely dared to go out when he got the exact information, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk of approaching the border.
Who leaked the news of the dungeon?
Li Han urgently needed to think carefully, so he said to Qi Yueshan: "I need to think about this matter, let's discuss it tomorrow, you go and rest first." ”
Qi Yueshan looked depressedly at Li Han turned around and ran away, and after returning to his house, Li Han carefully speculated on the edge of the map that the Jincheng in Longxi was near Lanzhou, Gansu in the later generations, and there were no other towns outside the Jincheng, and there was the Great Wall outside.
The west side of Longxi is the Qinghai of later generations, which is the settlement of the Qiang people, and the Qiang is the most ancient ethnic group in China. Chronology of the Six Kingdoms"), according to the annotations of the ancient historical records, "Jijie Huangfu Mi said: Mencius called Yusheng Shinew, and the Xiyi people also." It is said: 'Yu was born from Xiqiang'. Righteous explanation: Yu was born in Wenchuan County, Maozhou, and was born in the country of Xiqiang" ("Historical Records" three family notes). That is to say, the founder of the Xia Dynasty may have been the first to live in the area of Wenchuan and Beichuan in present-day Sichuan, so the Qiang is one of the most important ancestral ethnic groups of the Chinese nation. The ancestors of a considerable number of Han people should be Qiang people.
It is these people who can be called ancestors, after the Shang and Zhou dynasties, scattered in the southwest, and gradually divided into several ethnic groups, dominating Qinghai and Gansu, becoming their own forces, not obeying the rule of the Han Dynasty, each of their own tribes has a leader, and the big tribes annex the small tribes, like the Xiongnu, they belong to the unproductive people, nomadic and plundering, which is their survival situation.
Longxi, Yanguo, Zhangye and other regions adjacent to them are often plundered by them, and in the Jiuquan County to Jincheng generation, they are the closest areas to the Xiongnu border, therefore, the Han people in the middle have become the prey of the Xiongnu and Diqiang, and they are caught between them from time to time, otherwise, Li Guang will not send so much labor to the hairpin county at one time, that is, the residents of this area are unbearable and would rather go to the hairpin county to live.
Since Li Han caused a great disaster in the Xiongnu, causing the Xiongnu to fall apart, the Huns have converged a lot, and they dare not provoke the border, this time Yi Zhi Xian dared to lead his troops to approach this area, and at the same time, Di Qiang was also about to move, there must be a huge profit enough to make them worth the risk.
And after the long-term exploitation of the two nomads, this area no longer has the capital to let them take risks, so Li Han guessed at once that they have only one purpose, that is, their own caravan!
"Damn, Yi Zhi is oblique, you little bastard, when you were in the Huns, you always pestered Lao Tzu, wanting to get benefits from me, even Lao Tzu's women wanted, and now you are eyeing Lao Tzu's things, okay, then make you delicious and indigestible!"
After Li Han finished saying hatefully, he began to lie down and think, it must have been too late to rush in person, fortunately, when Zhou Xiang left, he brought him enough gunpowder bullets, plus there are stones that are proficient in how to use them, which should be able to give those robbers a head-on blow, but if you want to transport things to your destination safely, I am afraid it will still be difficult......
