008, descendants of Cai Hou

Emperor Ling couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Yang Aruo uncover the masked scarf, and involuntarily stood up.

What caught the eyes of the Spirit Emperor was a beautiful man with a face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, and a beautiful man who looked better than Pan An!

It is rumored that the Eastern Han Dynasty ranger Yang Aruo is a beautiful man in the world. Everywhere he went, many women fell in love with him at first sight, and there were even some court officials who had the good fortune of Longyang who wanted to keep him by his side, but he ruthlessly stabbed him and ended his life......

"It's okay, I'm not a man." Emperor Ling laughed at himself in his heart, but smiled at Yang Aruo: "It is rumored that Yang is enshrined as the first beautiful man in the Han Dynasty, which is really not an exaggeration. ”

Yang Aruo listened to Emperor Ling's words, his face turned red, and then he regained his composure and stood beside Emperor Ling.

......

"Your Majesty, there are nearly one hundred and thirty-six officials involved in the Ten Standing Attendants' conspiracy against each other, and 24 eunuchs should be beheaded according to the law!" Hu Guang walked slowly to Emperor Ling's side and said softly.

Emperor Ling took the case file and looked at it carefully, "Just follow Mrs. Hu's instructions." ”

"Your Majesty, what about the remaining 100 or so eunuchs?" Taifu asked.

"These more than 100 eunuchs are of great use." Emperor Ling said: "Come on, bring all the eunuchs who are imprisoned." ”

After all the eunuchs were brought up, Emperor Ling announced in public: "Because all the eunuchs were able to stop in time in the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, I should fulfill the promise at that time, and give everyone a three-level promotion, and the monthly silver will rise by three taels." ”

The eunuchs knelt on the ground and thanked him.

After a pause, the Spirit Emperor said again: "But in my palace, there is no place for everyone. ”

The eunuchs immediately talked about it.

"Is the emperor trying to drive us out of the palace?" A eunuch muttered to himself.

Another eunuch cried loudly to Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't want to leave you, he just wants to serve you well......"

"Still want to serve Your Majesty? It's too beautiful to think about, killing two ministers and guards in front of His Majesty has committed a heinous crime. An old eunuch kneeling on the ground opened his cloudy eyes, but he understood in his heart.

"This palace, after all, I still can't go back."

Looking at the mess below, the Spirit Emperor was shocked, and the following suddenly fell silent.

Emperor Ling said: "Everyone, don't guess, I am going to build a large paper-making workshop in the royal manor outside the South Gate City, and everyone will be in charge. ”

"Going to the workshop to make paper? This is what a low-class merchant does, how can Your Majesty let our chamberlain do these things! ”

Emperor Ling stood up, walked among the eunuchs, and said: "A hundred years ago, the eunuch Cai Lun invented the art of papermaking and made the marquis, he is the same as all the eunuchs around the emperor. If you can make the paper more beautifully, I will definitely seal a few more paper-making marquises. ”

"Your Majesty, the slave Cai Sheng, is the 4th generation grandson of Cai Hou's nephew, I have mastered Cai Hou's papermaking skills, and I am willing to build a new large workshop for Your Majesty to supply royal special paper."

Emperor Ling was very happy, and he couldn't imagine that Cai Lun had invented paper for a hundred years, and there were still his descendants who had mastered the entire set of papermaking techniques.

Emperor Ling looked at this Cai Sheng with appreciative eyes, and said: "The current paper is soft and yellow, and it is easy to break, and the paper I need is as smooth as a bronze mirror and as thin as a knife blade." Sturdy as cowhide! Whoever among you can make such a paper will be given a title here. ”

The eunuchs were moved by the emperor's words, papermaking can also be a marquis, the eunuchs of the Han Dynasty, which one does not know how to make paper? But it was too difficult to make the paper that His Majesty had requested.

It is precisely because of the great difficulty that His Majesty has entrusted this difficult task to us eunuchs, and if such paper is really made, it will really be a great matter for the benefit of the country.

"Minions willing!" The eunuchs were finally fooled by the Spirit Emperor and were full of energy, and they couldn't wait to start making paper immediately.

......

The west gate of the palace, where the monument to the great Han gods and generals was built.

An old farmer held a columbarium jar and stood there staring incessantly. The janitarian guards who were on duty here saw that he did not live in this place, so they came to inquire about it.

"Old man, what are you doing here?" The Praetorian Guard asked.

The old peasant carefully put the jar beside him on the side, and said to the guards tremblingly: "Master Jun, my youngest son was killed by thieves guarding the imperial city last year, can he enter the Divine Soldier Heavenly General Monument?" ”

Seeing that it was the sergeant's father, the guard also respected it and said, "Uncle, I'm not sure about this, I'll help you ask." ”

"Uncle, if it is found out that your son was indeed killed defending the imperial city, he will definitely be able to get on the monument." Liu Na happened to be on the side, he listened to the old peasant's words, and simply told him decisively.

"Really?" The old peasant was overjoyed, tears glistened, and muttered: "Son, if you go up the monument, it will be Your Majesty's divine soldier, and you will not suffer from the Hades King!" In the future, I can protect Your Majesty in the Heavenly Realm......"

The happy old peasant happily pulled Liu Na's cuffs and asked, "Master Jun, do you still need people to work?" I don't want to be paid. ”

"Why don't you want money?" Liu Na was puzzled.

The old farmer smiled and stroked the jar, which contained the ashes of his son. He said, "I'm building a house for my son, how can I ask for money?" And now Your Majesty is sympathetic to the sergeants who died in battle, he is a good emperor, and His Majesty will live here in the future, and I don't want to be paid. ”

After a while, more and more people gathered around the side.

"I also signed up to work, I don't need to be paid!"

"My brother died in battle yesterday, and His Majesty said that he would build a monument to make him a divine soldier, which is a good thing, I am a stonemason, and I can hit a stone monument. I don't want to be paid either......"

......

In the Yong'an Palace, the reborn Emperor Ling came here for the first time to greet his biological mother, the noble Shenyuan.

The nobles of Shenyuan were sealed by the Empress Dowager Dou.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Dou was in power, and she listened to the government, and her brother General Dou controlled the court, but excluded Emperor Ling's mother.

It wasn't until Emperor Ling was reborn, and the Ten Standing Servants made an alliance with blood to remove General Dou and Chen Fan, and then Emperor Ling used a little trick to eradicate the Ten Standing Servants and the Empress Dowager Dou, that he really met with the noble Dong family of Shenyuan.

"Hong'er, don't you really need your mother to help you take care of the government?" Dong Guiren asked unrelentingly.

"Mother, Emperor Qin died at the age of 9, Emperor Huan ascended the throne at the age of 14, his mother Empress Dowager Liang listened to the government, her relatives were in power, and the internal servants were rampant, causing the power of the Han Dynasty to fall and the country not become a country."

"Therefore, the son cleared his relatives, cracked down on the inner servants, and supported the righteous minister Hu Guangwei Taifu, and the power was slowly in the hands of his son, and the son will work hard to support the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty, and no longer allow his relatives and internal servants to participate in politics."

When Dong Guiren saw this, he couldn't say anything.

A eunuch suddenly came in a hurry, knelt at the door and shouted softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the new Janissary Zhonglang General Liu Na has an urgent matter to discuss, and he is already outside the Golden Palace." ”

As soon as Emperor Ling heard this, Liu Na personally came to find it, something big must have happened, so he said goodbye to Dong Gui and came to the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty," Liu Na saw Emperor Ling coming from afar, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him, and said with tears in his eyes: "The emperor's grace is vast, and now that the monument to the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals has not yet begun to be built, hundreds of people have come here to inquire and sign up, and they all say that it is to build the residence of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, and they don't need to be paid." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Ling was a little surprised.

Liu Na couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said: "These people who don't want to be paid, all of them in their families have died in the battle for the imperial court, and they can all engrave their names into the monument." ”

Emperor Ling thought that no matter which dynasty the common people were, they were always so simple and simple, and as long as a small material gift could be exchanged for their infinite returns.

"Let's go and see them." Emperor Ling waved his hand to Liu Na, and then walked towards the west gate.
