Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Palace

The next day, Liu Chang personally sent 100 horseshoe gold and a cart of 100 yuan and 5 baht coins, each of which was 1,000 yuan, and rewarded Bing Ji with 20 horseshoe gold.

The entourage also sent ten envoys and two old mothers, the original two maids, did not dismiss, and arranged for Bing Ji to update all the internal and external utensils, except for the fence of the prison door. There were also some daily necessities, and I also brought some toys to my little nephew. After playing with his little nephew for a while, Liu Chang left.

After leaving, more than 20 beggars appeared around the prison, and Bing Ji knew that this was the manpower arranged by Liu Chang to inform the guards that they did not need to be expelled.

At the end of March, Emperor Wu returned to Beijing after sealing Mount Tai. During the Zen sealing ceremony, Emperor Wu made a profound self-criticism: "Since I ascended the throne, I have acted rebelliously and made the world miserable, and I cannot regret it. From now on, those who harm the people and waste the world will stop it. ”

In the early morning of this day, the emperor was in the court, and two classes of civil and military kneeled on both sides.

"Something is playing, nothing is going to retreat!"

The voice of the male duck of the chamberlain resounded in every corner of the court.

"On the third day of the first month of February, the ancient capital of Qin made three loud noises, and a meteorite left by the first emperor was divided into two for some reason." Taishi ordered Sima to move out of the class. Originally, he was also going to follow the report sent below, what click, click, click, three thunderbolts, split the meteorite in two, because he had been to the scene. Such a strange celestial phenomenon, such an important object was damaged, did he dare not go? But when he arrived at the scene, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know why the stone cracked, click, three clicks are absolutely nonsense, to click, first of all, the house must be clicked first, it is impossible for this clicker, sneak in through the crack in the door first, and come to click this meteorite lord. How much enmity does this Lord Meteorite have with Lord Kata, forcing Lord Kata to have to face to face with Lord Meteorite himself to relieve his hatred.

After three days of circling around the meteorite, I also found all the experts under him, but everyone couldn't give a reasonable explanation, and in the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that Lord Ka was a cautious eye. The people below dare to say this, Lord Sima doesn't dare to report it like this, why don't you have your eggs, they are also clicked, so they changed the three clicks to three loud noises, and they don't offend each other.

"It's been more than a month since this incident, why did you report it today?" Emperor Wu was slightly dissatisfied, on the third day of the second lunar month, I was on the way to Mount Tai, preparing to see my parents, such a celestial phenomenon, I dared to hide it and not report it.

"The minister is guilty" Sima Qian immediately admitted his mistakes, no matter whether he was wrong or not, he immediately admitted his mistakes, which is the basic consciousness of being a courtier.

Sima Qian knows His Majesty the emperor too well, and the older he gets, the more he trusts the ghosts and gods, and he is ghostly all day long, trying to live forever, and in order to live forever, the six relatives do not recognize him. If you know that the stone of the first emperor seeking immortals is broken, you don't know what kind of moth it is.

If it weren't for your criticism and self-criticism in Mount Tai, and your attitude was still very sincere, I wouldn't have said it.

"Can you find a clue?" His Majesty the Emperor was immediately full of anticipation and his eyes were warm.

He is enthusiastic about every bit of news related to gods and ghosts. Being able to become an immortal and be immortal is the only major thing in his eyes, and the most important thing. What if you find a spell in between? What if an elixir is found?

"Apart from three thunderbolts on a sunny day, nothing else has been found." Sima Qian replied calmly. Anyway, I'm not the informant, and I'm not the only one at the scene of the crime, but I have witnesses: I didn't steal food!

If there is an eggless immortal in this world, what a lot of fun it has to add to the immortal world.

"Retreat from the dynasty and drive the Yonggong" is a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which only God can do, and there must be some instructions from God.

What can you mortals see with the naked eye, the body of the old dragon clock exudes youthful vitality, the waist is no longer sore, the legs are no longer painful, it is not difficult to go upstairs, even the meeting is not opened, just on Mount Tai, the oath made in front of the heavens does not care.

Put those who measure words, fortune tellers, fortune tellers, dance gods, watch the yin house, alchemy Taoist priests, monks who recite scriptures, what? Don't have a monk yet? At such a critical time, who cares if he has it or not, bring it all, as well as those warlocks who dig up villains, bring them all.

Seeing the emperor with a group of young and old, the smoke and dust were billowing all the way, the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and the pawns and people outside the palace were stunned: The Huns have been killed? !

Sima Qian followed behind, regretting that even his intestines were blue, it was okay for others not to go, but he couldn't go if he didn't. He is Taishi Ling, and celestial phenomena are his scope of management.

When can I change my broken mouth, why am I mentioning this at this time, and do I suffer less? Whoever wants to play is played, why did I come out of this, there is an elixir and I can still share a few grains for you.

The avalanche-like development of the beggar gang finally attracted the attention of Chang'an Ling. In the past two years, almost all industries have a shadow existence, left and right, and controlled. The source of supply is controlled, the transportation of goods is controlled, the owner of the trading floor is controlled, and the price of the transaction is controlled, and this shadow is almost everywhere.

Chang'an Ling sent people to investigate many times to no avail, and finally made him feel frightened, as if even the yamen was controlled by this invisible hand. Although the chengguan team has successfully fulfilled his wishes perfectly every time, the streets are orderly, the pedestrians are orderly, the markets are orderly, the merchants are orderly, even the beggars on the streets are in order, and even the public security incidents are reduced, as if everything is under control, but the taxes are declining, the taxes are declining, the taxes are declining, the Ding tax is declining, and the commercial tax is even more declining, even the three tax sources of salt, iron, and wine operated by the state are also showing signs of instability.

The labor cannot be successfully completed, and the number of people who have been recruited is no problem, and they are all working hard, but they can't finish five days of work and ten days. At the beginning, I thought it was because the turmoil had just settled and the people's hearts were unstable.

But in the past year, the country has slowly returned to order, and the situation has not improved. The officials of the yamen and the patrol house also seem to be different from before, and it seems that there is no difference in the specific differences, and it seems that there is no difference, and there seems to be a similar situation in several nearby towns. Just when Chang'an Ling was anxious and couldn't find a clue, Liu Chang sat in the office of Bing Ji, the county prison, and sat opposite Bing Ji to drink tea together, of course, his nephew must be present.

Liu Chang and this nephew are as close as father and son.

Tea, since Shennong, is the common drink in the aristocracy, Chinese tea drinking began in the Western Han Dynasty, there is a historical evidence, but in the Western Han Dynasty, China only Sichuan area tea drinking, the Western Han Dynasty has made a record of tea Sima Xiangru, Wang Bao, Yang Xiong are all Sichuan people. During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, tea, as a specialty of Sichuan, was first transmitted to Chang'an, Kyoto, through the channel of tribute, and gradually spread to the political, economic, and cultural centers of the time, such as Shaanxi and Henan. On the other hand, the tea drinking fashion in Sichuan spread along the Yangtze River to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, outside of Bashu, tea was a rare product for the upper class to enjoy, and tea drinking was limited to princes and courtiers, and the people may rarely drink tea. Liu Chang and Bing Ji drank themselves, leaning on the innermost carbon stove of several cases, and the water in the clay pot was steaming. In order to prevent the nephew from being burned by the crockpot, a small fence was added around the crockpot, and the little nephew drilled in and out of Liu Chang's side.

"Childe really has no intention of returning to the sect again, and he has wandered all his life?" Bing Ji called Liu Chang no longer the prince or His Royal Highness, because Liu Chang explained many times that in the future, he could only interact with each other as equals, regardless of respect and inferiority, and he had no nostalgia for the imperial power.

"Brother, I call you brother, I hope you can call me virtuous brother, or call me by my name directly, my name is Liu Chang. I have no interest in the cold royal chair, he is so cold, so cold that even the blood can freeze.

My father, brothers, sisters, all paid for it, even their lives. And all this is just because of the inexplicable witch Gu.

If the witch Gu is really effective, why should our million-strong army go to the desert, and why should our hundreds of generals go to the battlefield in person? It's all just an excuse! Heaven is ruthless, but I can't do it. ”

Bing Ji sat for a long time and shook it.

Liu Chang picked up the teacup, waved his hand, and motioned for Bing Ji to sit down.

"I don't have the ambition to take the world as my own responsibility, I just want my loved ones and my friends to live happily. As for whether my father can be rehabilitated, I don't force it, whether he is rehabilitated or not, let him go. I can restrain my family from interfering in the affairs of the world, but I will never allow the people of the world to interfere with my relatives. After Liu Chang finished speaking, a small hand grabbed the side of several cases, and the parts of several cases that he grabbed were slowly deformed, and finally like tofu, he slowly grabbed them, and the finger marks at the incision were clearly visible, and the ear cups filled with tea on several cases did not move at all.

"I understand the pain in my brother's heart. The virtuous brother was able to control his anger and did not turn this anger into a monstrous flame, and the elder brother admired him very much. Bing Ji said solemnly.

Seeing Bing Ji's face as usual, Liu Chang also secretly admired in his heart, being able to suppress his emotions is the basic quality of being able to take on great responsibilities.

"How can I fight violence with violence? This can only be attributed to royal fate. Liu Chang continued calmly:

"My little nephew, he will choose his own path in the future. I hope that he will have a safe life, and it is enough to spend his life in peace. But born in the royal family, this is also his fate, I will not interfere, but I hope you can help him. Liu Chang actually had the meaning of trusting the orphan, Bing Ji's heart was turbulent, but the surface was still as calm as water. He knew that this prince had monstrous skills, scheming, and martial arts, and that in terms of his current personal ability, it could be said that it would be easy to fight for the throne, but he scoffed at that position, and he really didn't know what he was going to do.

"On the eighth day of the first lunar month next month, I have an important party, are you interested in going to see it?"

"I'm not interested," Bing Ji replied dryly: "You have too many secrets, I'm afraid of getting into trouble." ”

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. From the moment you pick up your glass, you're in trouble, so don't worry about one more. Haha~"

"It seems to be true." Bing Ji pretended to reminisce: "You say, why did I owe so much at that time? Whose son-in-law are you, are you separated from your family, what do you have to do with me? ”

"Do you regret it?"

"I regret it."

"It's late, you provoked me first, I drank wine and ate meat there. He who does not invite disasters or cause trouble. You just took the initiative to lean in. Why does this seem to be wrong, how do you feel like I'm the 'woe'? ”

"You think you're not? Haha, look at your dress, wearing literary clothes, wearing a martial crown, not civil, not martial, colorful, hurry up and let your sister-in-law clean up, it's too embarrassing! ”

"Really?" Liu Chang stood up, raised his hand and stretched out his legs to look at himself: "They said that I am the richest in this dress." ”

"Pull it down, don't be disgusted with the rich and noble."

"Then I have to find my sister-in-law immediately, come, I'm sick, let's go find your mother." I've always dressed like this, and I don't know how many people read the jokes. Liu Chang picked up the illness, walked out of the door, walked to the door, turned around and said to Bing Ji:

"My brother can let me know if he wants to participate. Give me an answer three days later. ”
