Chapter 59: The straw that crushed Liu Yan

Liu's plan ultimately fell through.

Liu Yan did not raise troops to kill from Yizhou because of Liu Dan's head.

He was quiet, as if nothing had happened on the horse.

Liu Wei originally just planted willows unintentionally, but he saw that the willow trees he planted did not even grow a leaf.

Liu Wei still couldn't avoid it, and he was a little congested.

Even if Liu Yan sent a few envoys over to greet Ma Teng, Liu Wei felt better in his heart.

But he didn't do anything, he didn't even have an attitude, so he was very uncomfortable.

So, Liu Wei sent people to find Liu Fan and Liu Zhang.

Liu Fan is now a proper prisoner, but Liu Zhang is still the captain of Fengche.

Although he has never driven a car for Liu Wei.

"Your father, my imperial uncle, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan is a father who does not love his son in my opinion." Liu Wei looked at the two of them condescendingly, and said indignantly, "I kindly sent Liu Dan's head to Yizhou, but this imperial uncle of mine didn't even say a word of gratitude to me. ”

"Your Majesty, it must be blocked by the road to be like this!" Liu Fan hurriedly said.

After being escorted back to the capital, he was honorably one of the many hard laborers in the West Garden.

During this period of hard work, he had already faded from the appearance of a noble son, his face was full of cuts blown by the northwest wind, and the frostbite on his hands made his hands swollen like pig's trotters.

"The road is blocked, that's a really good excuse!" Liu Wei chuckled, "Have you ever heard of a saying that there was originally no road in this world, but when there are more people to walk, there is a road." ”

"Your father and son's reply to the court made me feel that I was not sitting in the sun, but sitting in the sky on horseback."

"Good, make a face!"

Liu Fan's face, which was already very ruddy by the northwest wind, instantly turned even redder.

It looks like it's almost dripping blood.

The emperor's direct sarcasm slapped on his face was much more hurtful than the snow slag coming from the northwest in the wind.

"Your Majesty, but that's the case, the Shu Road is difficult, although the minister has not walked it, he has heard of it. You can't blame my father for this. Liu Zhang raised his head and said.

"Really? Then how do you think I sent Liu Dan's head to Mianzhu? Eat more brains in the future, you may be an ornament. The corners of Liu Bian's mouth twitched, and he did not hide his contempt.

With this virtue, it is no wonder that he was first rubbed by Zhang Lu on his neck, and then directly pressed to the ground by Liu Bei and rubbed.

刘璋张口就欲争辩,可张开的嘴里却说不出任何有道理的话语,他怔了那么数秒钟,讪讪垂下了头。

"I want you two to go to Mianzhu again, I have always been a benevolent, easy-talking emperor, considering fairness and justice, I think you should consider your own feelings, which of you is going to go?" Liu Weituo looked at the two of them and asked.

Liu Zhang suddenly raised his head and said without hesitation: "I wish ...... minister"

However, as soon as he spoke, he was eagerly interrupted by Liu Fan, "Your Majesty, the minister goes, the minister goes." Zhang is not at fault, please forgive Your Majesty! ”

"Although the Father is unkind, the Son is true filial piety! My brother is not respectful, and my brother is also a true friend. Liu Wei smiled lightly and said with emotion.

Liu Zhang, a loser, doesn't seem to have figured out what his brother did until now.

"Since you have such a strong request, I should also meet you, then you can go, and by the way, help me see how difficult Shu Dao is." Liu Wei said, "Actually, I am very reluctant to let you go. ”

"If you go, there is one less laborer in my West Garden who doesn't need to spend money."

Liu Fan's expression was like mourning, he held back the tears that seemed to be about to burst out of his eyes, pursed his lips and choked up, "Minister...... I am willing to do it for Your Majesty! ”

"I feel your sincerity." Liu Wei smiled slightly, but there was not the slightest warmth in his smile.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Wei said again: "In this way, after you leave, let Liu Zhang make up for your shortcomings." ”

"That is, for the sake of everyone coming from the same clan, I am really soft-hearted."

Liu Fan knelt on the ground, and his voice was very crisp, and he shouted with tears, "Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!" ”

"Obey the order!" Liu Zhang also followed closely and hurriedly thanked him.

Probably, perhaps, Liu Zhang felt that the emperor would arrange some good errand for him.

But when he was taken to the quarry, he was instantly stunned.

"You're mistaken, how could I do this?" Liu Zhang shouted and immediately ran back.

Zhao Ye, who had been smiling all the way, stabbed Liu Zhang's back with a knife, "Be interesting, your father and brother are against you, Your Majesty is already very merciful if you let you live and work here, what else do you want to do?" ”

Liu Zhang was suddenly even more confused, "What did you say?" My father and brother are against me?! It's impossible! ”

"Go to work obediently, talk more, die!" Zhao Ye smiled pitifully.

His seemingly bright, but cold smile simply learned the essence of Liu Bian's eight points, and Liu Zhang shuddered when he saw it.

Like a marionette, he was led into the quarry with a sluggish expression, holding the sledgehammer that was handed to him.

"Hurry! If you don't do your job well, you'll still die. Zhao Ye snorted and turned to leave.

Liu Zhang didn't seem to hear it, and there was still an expression of disbelief on his face.

……

When Liu Zhang unwillingly picked up the sledgehammer under the ruthless leather whip, Liu Fan's head had already left Luoyang.

"Spring has arrived!" Liu Wei stood on the tower of the city tower in Luoyang, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance and muttered.

The snow that had accumulated for a winter was almost invisible in the fierce sunlight of the past few days.

Although the wind from the north is still steep, it can't help but shiver a few times when it pours into the neck.

But spring has indeed arrived.

"In the future, you will guard the Sunset Pavilion with me." Liu Wei said suddenly.

Zhang Xiong, who was standing behind Liu Wei's side, tilted his head, listening a little dazed, "Your Majesty, do you mean to garrison troops in the Sunset Pavilion?" ”

Liu Wei snorted and said: "I will restart the post stations of Sanfu, Hongnong, Henan Yin, Beidi, Hedong, and Hanoi, and the Sunset Pavilion will be the first post station, which will be taken over by the captain of the city gate, and there will be five hundred soldiers and horses stationed there. ”

War is really a terrible thing, it will destroy all the original order, and let the chaos spread for a long time.

The post houses of the Han Dynasty were originally very well-developed.

But under the repeated trampling of the war, now in many places even the empty shell of the post station can not be found.

"Yui!" Zhang Xiong didn't ask the reason again, and responded directly.

Liu Wei, who looked at the scenery indifferently, said: "The Sunset Pavilion is a large square market outside Luoyang City, where businessmen from all over the world gather all year round. They themselves are carriers of intelligence everywhere, and you can send people to buy and sell information directly from them, or you can exchange it for news in other ways, in short, you can't miss these messages. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xiong said heavily.

When Liu Wei looked over, Zhang Xiong immediately said the method he had come up with, "Your Majesty, can the minister open a restaurant there?" The minister thought that this should be a good thing to get the news. ”

"Let's open an inn!" Liu Wei said.

"Your Majesty, what is this inn ......?" Zhang Xiong asked suspiciously, he didn't know what the inn was new.

Although something strange popped out of the emperor's mouth, it was the norm.

But it's hard to understand and it's the norm.

Sometimes Zhang Xiong is even ashamed of his stupidity.

Because he always wants to ask again after the emperor finishes speaking, he is forced to be apprehensive.

"It's a stable, but the inn I'm talking about is a collection of restaurants, wineries, and stables, and by the way, you can also help merchants from afar pile up goods, hire people to pick up goods, rent mules and horses, and so on. If you're more interested, you can even add a female lull as well. Forget it, this is not necessary, although I do not prohibit it, there is no need to advocate it. Liu Wei said.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Xiong instantly understood the concept of the inn.

"I understand." Zhang Xiong said.

Liu Wei nodded, "This matter will be supervised as soon as possible." ”

"Yui!"

War is fought with absolute comprehensive strength.

After Sanfu and Henan Yin and other places gradually developed in a stable direction, the post station was one thing that Liu Wei had to consider. A post station every thirty miles is like a person's blood, connecting the vast territory together.

It makes it easier for the imperial court to know the changes happening in farther places.

After careful consideration, Liu Wei decided to set up a military post station.

There are troops stationed in all the post stations, but there are not many people, ten people are enough.

On the whole, it is an army of its own, controlled by the guy who yelled that he wanted to do something.

After coming down from the city tower, Liu Wei changed into his regular clothes, and only brought more than a dozen eunuchs into the streets of Luoyang.

Although he is the emperor, Liu Wei really can't stay in that deep palace.

Especially after a trip, he wanted to wander around even more.

The polarization of Luoyang City is very obvious, the rich are high-ranking families, and there are majestic guards on duty at the door.

The poor don't even have a place to live.

People with only one straw mat can be found everywhere.

When they were alive, the straw mat was their bed, and when they died, the straw mat became their shroud again.

Liu Wei strolls through the streets, picking on those secluded places to drill.

If it was in his previous life, if he had done this, passers-by would definitely have cast disdainful glances.

In a city, men who choose secluded places to drill are often looking for women who choose secluded places to stand.

But here, there is no explicit prohibition in the imperial court, and there is still the best wine in the world, and no one will choose between the streets and alleys.

Liu Wei drilled these deep and dirty streets and alleys, not to find women.

It's about finding the poor.

In half a day, he personally measured about a dozen of the city of Luoyang with his footsteps.

I also have some more intuitive cognition of the current situation of Luoyang.

The war has made the homeless people in this Han Kyoto not ordinary.

The total number of people, probably in the tens of thousands, almost all of them fled from Sanfu.

"Let's go back." In a dark alley, Liu Wei was ready to return home after talking to a few homeless people.

But just then, a fork suddenly hit him on the shoulder.

Zhao Ye and the others instantly felt like a great enemy, and guarded Liu Wei in the middle.

Liu Wei picked up the fork and looked up.

This section is a little inexplicably familiar, and it seems that he seems to have the potential to become Ximenqing.

Is it such a coincidence?

But what peeked out of the window was not the young girl Liu Wei imagined, but a big lady.

"Hey, you want to buy a servant, don't you? I have it at home, do you want to come in and have a look! The eldest lady said to Liu Wei very enthusiastically.

"You're mistaken, I'm not here to buy a minion." Liu Wei explained.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to hit you, I just fell down when I was propping up the window. Okay, this noble man might as well take a look first? The eldest lady tried her best to explain, "The gate is in front, I have asked people to open the door, you can just come in, and I will go down here." ”

Liu Wei responded casually, and said to Zhao Ye: "Go back to the palace." ”

"Yui!"

But as soon as Liu Wei walked out of the alley, the enthusiastic lady was already waiting outside.

Seeing Liu Biao coming, her fat body was horizontal, and it completely blocked Liu Bian's way.

"Your Excellency, please come here." The eldest lady raised her hand and said.

"Auntie, you really misunderstood." Liu Wei stopped the criminal guard who was about to start directly with his eyes, and said patiently.

Although her body was fat, the eldest lady who looked like she was only thirty or forty years old looked Liu Wei up and down, and said with a smile, "I don't know which family's son, he is really handsome." You're looking for a domestic servant, and you won't find it here. These are all homeless people who have fled the famine, and they don't know a single word, and they are not worthy of your identity. ”

"The servant you are looking for must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right? Although the girls in my family don't know everything, they know a little bit, and they look good and diligent. and go to thy house, and it shall not defile thy lintel. ”

"Let's see, how about first?"

Liu Wei couldn't help but have a headache, "You want to sell girls?" Why don't you find a good family to marry? ”

The talkative lady immediately said: "How can we find a really good family from a businessman like us?" Wouldn't it be better to be sent to your house as a servant than to find a good man to marry? ”

Liu Bianxin said that it is not necessarily.

When you enter the forbidden province, you first lose your freedom.

I really couldn't help it, and Liu Wei, who didn't want to be treated violently, had to agree to the eldest mother's request, let's take a look first.

This three-entry mansion looks ordinary on the outside, but it is gorgeously decorated inside, and there are traces of fine carving everywhere, which is several times more gorgeous than the bamboo house built by Liu Wei in the West Garden.

After taking a seat in the main hall, the main family sent someone to serve wine, and the lady hurried to the back house.

Liu Wei just took a sip of wine, and the eldest lady dragged a few girls in.

This scene made Liu Wei feel a sense of déjà vu in a trance.

In "Journey to the West", Tang Seng seems to have encountered such a thing.

Looking at the girls lined up in front of him, Liu Wei seriously suspected that the thief seemed to have heard his recent chatter.

Of these three girls, two of them are the bee waists and cheeks in his mind, and their posture is also superior.

In particular, there is a girl whose skin is white, as if she has crossed over.

The so-called one white covers three ugliness, there is no doubt that when everyone's appearance is similar, white nature is the most beautiful.

It is rumored that after Liu Bei made a fortune, he once liked to play with artificial jade, after marrying Mrs. Gan, Liu Bei quit this problem, it is said that Mrs. Gan and jade in the moonlight, Liu Bei almost couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Liu Wei had never seen what Mrs. Gan was like, but this girl's skin looked like crystal clear white jade from a distance.

"They're your daughters?" Liu Wei asked.

He took a strong interest in the white-skinned girl.

The eldest lady said, "Yes, but not my own daughter." ”
