Volume 2: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches Ninety-three: Hu Shu

Outside the Hengcheng Gate, a carriage slowly stopped.

"Master Hou will definitely be able to accomplish something when he goes to Chang'an." In the car, the middle-aged scribe arched his hand.

"Mr. Guo," Liu Zhong smiled disapprovingly, "I can be mediocre, I only hope that the family is safe, and the blessings of my children and grandchildren will continue, how dare I talk about any merits, Mr. Song Wei." ”

Guo Qian moved his lips, wanting to say something, but finally sighed and gave up.

The carriage entered the city gate, drove on Zhangtai Street, at the intersection with Xiangmuro Street, suddenly a big car hit Hengli and rushed to the horse, the royal hand reined in the horse, shouted, "This is the King of Qi into the dynasty to drive, please avoid the comer." ”

Liu Zhong lifted the curtain and shouted, "Is it Fei'er?" ”

Not long after, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, embarrassedly got off the gorgeous carriage and stepped forward to greet him.

Although Liu Zhong was only a marquis at this time, he was Liu Fei's uncle in terms of seniority, and the Han ruled the world with filial piety, even if Liu Fei was the king of Qi and met his uncle on the street, he could only be avoided by Liu Fei, who was a junior.

When entering the diving mansion, Liu Zhong sighed, "In the future, this Chang'an City will be much more lively than before. ”

"yes." Guo Qian smiled, "I hope it can continue to be so prosperous." ”

In the second year of Emperor Hui, the winter and October of the new year

Before the night leaks for seven minutes, the palace will ring the yellow bell Da Lu, and the first ceremony of the year will be held. The Son of Heaven accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials and ministers in the front hall of the Weiyang Dynasty, and the three dukes, the liehous, the middle two thousand stones, two thousand stones, one thousand stones, six hundred stones, and four hundred stone officials wore soapy clothes and ribbons and fishes to enter, and the black pressure stood all over the palace. The temple above 2,000 stones is called long live. So the Son of Heaven sat in front of him. Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, served the soup, and Du Tian served the rice, playing the joy of eating. Hundreds of officials were given feasts.

Liu Zhong, the Marquis of Heyang, stepped forward and said, "The minister is in Xinfeng to plant the new millet, come to Chang'an, take a new bunch in the warehouse, and give it to His Majesty to taste." ”

Han Changliu, the middle attendant, went down the steps to take it. Presented to the emperor.

Liu Ying stroked the golden bundle and said with a smile, "There are clouds in the Book of Poetry, 'Pi Huang is separated, and Pi Ji is a seedling.'" 'The Marquis of Heyang devoted himself to the study of the art of planting millet for the country, and he should be rewarded, and now he is especially beneficial to his thousands of households, and he is placed as a lieutenant of Sosu, a subordinate of the internal history, except for Xu Xiang as the captain of Sosu. Assisted the Hou of Heyang in the Gyeonggi area to try to grow millet and specialize in various methods to improve millet production. ”

"This-" Liu Zhong was dumbfounded for a moment, speechless. stammered, "Your Majesty, the ministers can only be mediocre, they can only farm, not officials." ”

"Heyang Hou, this is humble." Liu Ying smiled and said, "How can a person who can increase the yield of millet from three stones to nearly ten stones per mu be a mediocre person?" ”

He stepped down to personally shovel Liu Zhong and said, "Farmers are the foundation of the world." And this is a matter related to the thousands of generations of our Great Han Kingdom. If successful, countless people can live. The emperor must not refuse. ”

Liu Zhong was speechless, so he had to accept it. The ministers also called His Majesty Shengming. Love the people like a son.

"Sifu saw the letter like a meeting, and it has been more than half a year since Xuanping didn't come."

Zhang Yan wrote a letterhead in front of the desk.

"Don't send a letter to the queen, saying that the pickled plum will be opened when the time is full. The color is golden, fresh and sweet like honey. A small urn is attached to the note. Yan Xin is very happy, but the plum has been delayed on the road for a long time, and it is already sour and black and cannot be tasted, which is a pity! ”

After leaving Xuanping, Zhang Yan and Sun Ning have been exchanging letters. The smiling girl, at the ceremony, was given the word Sifu, which originated from the first chapter of the Book of Poetry "Guan Ju": My Fair Lady, I covet it. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it.

After Xuanping's reputation as a good daughter gradually spread, many squires and nobles came to the door to ask for marriage, and County Magistrate Sun chose Yin Jin, the second son of Hou Yinhui, the city father, for her. So Sun Ning could only sit in the boudoir to get married, and when he was bored, he exchanged letters with Zhang Yan more frequently, asking about the lively things in Chang'an.

"Chang'an is really a lively place, after the first ceremony of the year, Heyang Hou and Xu Duwei in the three auxiliary to choose good land, build a car, a water wheel, and plant to plant. Ox ploughing, coupling ploughing, rotation method, to summer, millet seedlings growth is gratifying, in the long run, or to the autumn ripening season, can really increase the yield several times. It is really a blessing for the people of the world. ”

smeared the letterhead with sealing mud and ordered the little guy to send it to the post station, Zhang Yan sighed.

Some of the excitement seems to be grand and joyful, the person who speaks likes it, and the person who listens to it is happy, and some of the excitement is full of bitterness, so it can only be buried in the heart and chewed quietly.

On Empress Lu's birthday last year, Zhang Yan met Prince Xiang of Qi, and since then she has been trying her best to persuade Empress Lu that she has no good impression of Liu Xiang and is unwilling to conclude a marriage.

However, after a few years, Liu Xiang lingered on Zhangtai Street, and was even more infatuated with a woman named Manniang, and fought with Lu Jia, the son of the late Zhou Luhou. When Qi Gill, a lieutenant of the Northern Army, arrived, the two were not letting each other go. Qi Gill felt a big headache, so he had to calm down.

When the news reached the ears of Empress Lu, Empress Lu was furious.

"Liu Xiangshi is a thin man," Lu Housen said, and then bent down and said softly, "Ah Yan, we don't want him anymore." Liu Xiang is really not worthy of you, and one day, Grandma will find a good husband for you. ”

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said with a smile, "Thank you Grandma for your kindness, it's just that Yan'er is still young and wants to accompany her mother for a few more years." ”

Gave up the plan to marry Qi State, and Empress Lu became the king of Qi, Liu Fei, who was not as friendly as before.

In winter and October, the Queen Mother set up a family banquet in Changle Palace to invite Liu Fei, the king of Qi. Because it was Yan Drink, Liu Ying talked about the gift of his family, and because Liu Fei was his brother, he was allowed to sit down. Liu Fei thought that he was a brother with the emperor, and he also had a mother-son friendship with Empress Lu, so he never resigned humbly, and Empress Lu was furious when he saw it, and ordered someone to pour wine for the king of Qi, wanting to do harm. Liu Ying broke the queen mother's mind, and for a moment of grief and indignation, she snatched the wine cup and was willing to drink it on behalf of her brother.

Empress Lu was shocked, and hurriedly got up and sprinkled the wine cup in the emperor's hand.

That day, Lu Yuan returned to the Hou Mansion, and his hands were shaking.

"Brother's eyes were cold," she said, "and at that time, I even thought that he was really going to drink that cup of wine." Brother Ao, you say," she threw herself into Zhang Ao's arms, "why did my mother and younger brother come to this point." ”

After King Qi feigned to be drunk and left Changle Palace, he was afraid that this trip would be like King Zhao's wish, and he could not leave Chang'an again. His inner history Wang Jie persuaded him, "The Queen Mother only has a pair of children of Her Majesty and the eldest princess, and now the prince has more than 70 cities, and there are only a few cities under the name of the eldest lord as food." If the prince gives a city and county to the eldest princess to make Tang Muyi, and respects the princess as the queen mother, the queen mother will be happy. Then the prince can avoid this difficulty. ”

Liu Fei followed his words, and after writing to Lu, he was willing to give Chengyang County to Lu Yuan, and at the same time respected him as the Queen Mother of Qi.

Knowing what Liu Fei meant, Lu Houcheng was overjoyed, but Lu Yuan was greatly frightened.

"I have several cities to eat, and I don't need more. And the king of Qi is my eldest brother, if you respect me as the queen mother, wouldn't it be perverse. This must not be done! ”

The next day, an envoy from the king of Qi visited the Marquis of Xuanping.

"The eldest princess is kind-hearted, and my prince is impressed. It's just that Lun is always heavy. Less than his life, the prince wants to leave Chang'an safely, and asks the chief to fulfill it. ”

Zhang Yan just looked at it, Lu Yuan was discouraged for a moment, and finally nodded with difficulty.

The king of Qi immediately bid farewell to the emperor. Return to the Closed Country. After five years, he never entered Chang'an.

When Liu Fei left, Liu Ying didn't send it.

However, this is finally the first time that he has successfully protected the person he wants to protect.

"Lady, lady." Someone outside the hospital suddenly called her, it was the voice of Tu Li.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yan pushed the window and asked, "Don't look at what age you are." It's still chattering. ”

Fourteen-year-old Tu Yu stopped out of the window panting, leaned on the railing with one hand, and looked up and said, "Just now, the little guy went to the post station to deliver a letter, I heard." What hat did the Huns have. ”

"It's Mao Dun Shan Yu." Zhang Yan corrected with a smile.

"Oh, whatever." "That Shan Yu sent him a letter of state. ”

The one-foot-and-one-minute long letter was tied with a red tassel rope, lying quietly on the tray, held by Xiao Huangmen, and sent to Weiyang Palace.

"What does this mean?" In the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Ying raised his eyebrows and asked.

Since the death of the eldest princess of Xuping, the diplomatic relations between the Han and the Hungarians have been lukewarm, in the autumn and winter, the Xiongnu water and grass do not continue, so they often rob the border cities of the Han Dynasty to supply. The two sides have a tug-of-war, but neither wants to trigger a big war.

And this time, Mao Dun sent a letter of state, but it was not handed to Emperor Liu Ying, but to the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant, who lived in Changle Palace.

Xiao He said implicitly, "I haven't read the national letter, and the ministers don't know." If Your Majesty passes the Queen Mother, open and read the national letter, and after seeing the book, the ministers will discuss it again. ”

Although Emperor Hui still had a grudge against his mother because of the matter of King Qi, he still did not dare to slack off when he encountered state affairs, so he went to Changle Palace with his national letter.

In the Changxin Palace, Lu Pheasant coughed and said with a slight smile, "Where did the mourning family guess the meaning of Mao Dun." Although it was sent to me, I am one with His Majesty's mother and son, not to mention that the friendship between Han and Hungary is a state affair, this is a national letter, and His Majesty is the lord of a country, so please dismantle it for the Queen Mother. ”

The corners of Liu Ying's lips lightly pursed an arc, untied the tassel, and couldn't help but change color at a glance, and read it word by word, her face turned black with anger, her hands and feet were cold, and with a "snap", she threw down Mao Dun's national letter fiercely, and said angrily, "He Mao Dun deceived people too much." Zhao Xiangguo Xiao He, Taiwei Zhou Bo, Wuyang Hou Fan Hao and other generals entered the palace. ”

Empress Lu couldn't help but be a little surprised, her son has always been good-tempered like a saint, what is written on the national book that can make him angry like this? So he asked Su Mo to pick up the national letter and read it:

"The lonely king, born in frustration, grew up in the field of cattle and horses in the plains, counted to the border, and is willing to travel to China. His Majesty is independent and lives alone. The two lords are unhappy, and they have nothing to worry about, and they are willing to give everything they have. ”

The monarch of the prairie has a rough and bold handwriting, although his language is polite, his tone is light, and his intentions are blasphemy, and he is actually nakedly teasing himself.

She snorted, digging her nails deep in her palms.

The mother of the Han Dynasty was actually molested naked by a barbarian in a beard, and for a while, the ministers in the palace were a little dark, and they felt empathetic humiliation. "I want to kill the envoys, and at the same time gather a large army to attack the Huns," Liu Yingqian inspected the ministers and said angrily, "What do you think of Aiqing?" ”

Fan Xu and Emperor Hui's mother and son are the closest, and their temperament is straightforward, so they immediately stepped forward and asked, "The minister is willing to get 100,000 elite soldiers and run rampant among the Huns." ”

"Okay." Liu Ying was overjoyed and said, "I will follow General Fan's words. ”

**********************

In today's chapter, in order to speed up the progress, there is a bit of a plot.

According to history, Empress Lu seems to like to be a matchmaker for her own women, but because of her own experience, she requires men to be loyal and not to snub the wife she pointed out to him.

Therefore, Liu Xiang offended the people of the Lu family (Lu Jia is the nephew of Lu Hou's son), and second, he bumped into Lu Hou's gun.

Strikeouts out.

Also, well, Xiao Lu was molested.

However, being molested will prove to be attractive performance, too.
