The team sent to arrest Zhong Liwei really returned in vain, and the baby was just returned, but Fan Xu jumped to his feet in anger and scolded when he met people.

"We obviously saw a tall and strong man who looked like Zhong Liwei in the north of the city, but he took him around a few times and disappeared.

I'm afraid I didn't run out of the city! ”

Everyone comforted him, Zhong Liwei was a person who had been rewarded by His Majesty for half a year without a trace, presumably with a high hiding ability, how could he be easily caught.

He and Guan Ying never gave up, and led his elite soldiers to search Luoyang City for three days, turning every household upside down, and there was still no trace of Zhong Lixian, so he gave up.

"Zhong Liwei had no hope of taking refuge in Han Xin, and he scared the snake again, exposing his deeds, and probably would not continue to hide in the Central Plains......

Or go north to the Xiongnu, or flee south to South Vietnam. ”

These two directions were the usual paths of the fugitives in Middle-earth at that time, and compared with the coastal Nanyue Kingdom, the Xiongnu in the north seemed to be closer to Luoyang.

Although there was no hope of capturing the fugitives, the emperor did not delay the event.

In the past few days when the people in the city were turning their horses on their backs, the imperial court quietly issued an edict to the world that shook the ages, which was the "Five-Year Edict of Emperor Gao".

The edict is cloudy, and 600,000 soldiers and soldiers have all returned home:

All innocent officers and soldiers shall be rewarded with a minimum of the fifth rank of knighthood, and shall be granted at least five hectares of land, and the whole family shall be exempt from rent and tax for one year;

Those criminals such as "guilty officials" and "outlaws" who were conscripted into the army during the war, as well as non-commissioned officers who had violated military law, were immediately pardoned and became civilians.

In addition, the imperial court did not pursue the exiles of Jubao Shan Ze during the war, encouraged them to return to their original counties, and compensated them for the restoration of their original land and fields.

Those who sold themselves into slavery because of their poverty, were removed from slavery and reverted to commoners.

This is an edict that has been carefully polished by Liu Ji and his ministers, and the main purpose is to reward meritorious service and stabilize the world at the beginning of the new dynasty.

and, safely disband the army and create out of thin air a military class loyal to the Liu dynasty.

Among the population of about 15 million in the early Han Dynasty, this military class covered at least 3 million people, which can be said to have created the cornerstone of the old Liu family's protection.

***

This time, when Liu Ji came to the North Palace to investigate the prince's understanding of the edict again, Liu Ying, who had been ordered by his uncle and grandson to make up for it all night, answered like a fluent answer.

"Li Min has land, coupled with the national policy of the imperial court to persuade agriculture and mulberry and lightly pay for the poor, will he live and work in peace and contentment, and the national strength of my Han will be refined."

"That's true." Liu Ji showed a look of approval on his face, and said,

"Let me ask you again, you said that the imperial court is now lightly taxing, so do you know how much land rent I am paying now?"

"Hmm...... I am forbidden to the province of the law, and the land rent is lighter than that of Qin, and the tax is one for fifteen. ”

"Compared with Qin, it is lighter, so how much is the tax of Qin Shitian, do you know?"

“…… I don't know this. ”

This point, the uncle and grandson were so busy that they forgot to mention it.

Liu Ying had to look at Lu Pheasant with a blank eye, and had the intention of asking for help.

Lu Pheasant said gently,

"I remember that for many years in a row it was 'three and two taxes'.

Ying'er, you see, most of the annual harvest is used as field rent, in addition, you have to pay household tax and miscellaneous taxes.

People in the world can't even eat, but didn't they rise up? ”

"In this case, when I grow up, I will definitely lower the land rent.

Well, down to thirty taxes and one, or even one hundred taxes. ”

Liu Ying thought for a moment, and suddenly made a grand wish.

"If that's the case, then our Ying'er will be a good monarch that everyone praises."

Liu Ying's words were a bit arrogant, but he was still young, his words were unscrupulous, and Liu Ji, who was in a good mood, didn't mind, praised a few words, and asked the palace people to take the prince down.

He turned to Lu Pheasant and said,

"I am ready to canonize the king of Zhao in two days, and then Lu Yuan and the others will have to leave Luoyang and go to the north to go to the country.

***

Lu Pheasant nodded,

"The two children are in love, and it's better to go over sooner.

It's just that my daughter is too young, so I went to Zhao with Zhang Ao, and I am a little worried. ”

"That can't be helped, can you still send someone to follow?

I just settled Zhang Cang, and I took a lot of trouble to speak, which was really boring. ”

As soon as Liu Ji thought of the vassal states where the needle could not be inserted and the water could not be splashed, he was full of anger.

"I mentioned it to Zhang Ao, and the second brother of Shi Zhi has been complaining that Luoyang is too hot recently, which makes him angry and coughing.

It's better to let his uncle, send Lu Yuan to Zhao State, just to go out to breathe.

Zhang Ao did not raise any objections. ”

"It's okay, my mother's uncle sent my relatives, it's reasonable, it's hard work."

Liu Ji agreed without thinking.

***

After the grand canonization ceremony, Zhang Ao, the new king of Zhao, and Lu Yuan, the queen of Zhao, left the capital Luoyang, the country of Zhao, with a mighty entourage.

In the past few days, the princess's apple-like little face has always had a trance and satisfied smile, even if she is in a spacious chariot at this time, she is still happy as if in a dream.

The chariot she was riding in was huge, the carriage was black, the wheels were painted a dazzling vermilion, and the patterns depicted on the hub were dazzling as the wheels turned.

The top of the cart is covered with a thick shān cloth that is also painted in black and shiny to protect it from the wind and rain and from the sun.

Due to the noble status of the king and queen of Zhao, on the tarpaulin, there are layers of feather covers, which are particularly luxurious.

In the car, the front 牖 (yǒu) is separated by a shelter, and the spacious compartment is divided into two parts, the front and the rear.

Lu Yuan leaned slightly reserved on the hollow table behind him, taking advantage of the bumps in the carriage, he secretly glanced at the high-spirited husband beside him, and glanced at it again and again.

Everything he had hoped for since he was a young girl had finally come true, but what did the distant Zhao Kingdom and the unfathomable Zhao Palace look like?

Also, before Princess Shang, King Zhao had already given birth to two sons with his concubine.

It is said that Zhao Dimin's style is rough and arrogant, and he doesn't know if the other women in the palace are good to each other, and whether they will respect him, the new queen who came from afar.

Thinking of this, Rao is Lu Yuan, who has been overjoyed for days, can't help but worry.

Fortunately, the queen mother has done her best to help her make careful arrangements.

The accompanying palace people were all appointed by Lu Pheasant himself, and most of them were faces that they had never seen before, and they were all women of a certain age, not the young girls that were used to seeing in the North Palace.

Lu Yuan didn't understand his mother's intention at first, and thought that Lu Pheasant was just to guard against Zhang Ao's intentions, so he deliberately replaced all the female envoys he called with strong women to prevent trouble.

For this reason, she really lost her temper with her mother, thinking that her mother's cautious vigilance looked down on her and looked down on him.

Who knows, the queen mother, who has always been kind and pleasant, became extremely serious, ignored her dissatisfaction at all, put on a straight face, and insisted on doing it.

Lu Yuan would not have known that most of these palace people she was not very familiar with were from the Xianyang Palace of the pre-Qin Dynasty, as well as the current Yongxiang and Yeting, some of them could ride and shoot, some could do some close-quarters fists and feet, some were good at using blades, and some were familiar with pharmacology, all kinds of things, each with their own abilities.

And the biggest thing these palace people have in common is that they have all experienced all kinds of intrigue and intrigues, and they are well versed in the open guns and hidden arrows in the palace, and the tricks of the mechanism.

Moreover, due to the constraints of the queen's various means, their loyalty can be relied on.
