Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 831 Rumors
Time ticks away, from the first month to the early spring of March.

When the spring breeze blows, vendors in Chang'an's market place display items in the city, urging the dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an city to come and patronize them. Commodities from all over the world gather in Chang'an city.In the lanes, every household of princes and princes also took advantage of the spring to go out for outings, or to have banquets and gatherings, inviting friends and companions to enjoy the spring breeze.

The originally withered city of Chang'an, after the Han Dynasty moved its capital, has restored some of its appearance in its heyday.Among them, the people who benefited the most from moving the capital should belong to the local people, and it is the families of ordinary officials who are not easy to live in Beijing.

A large number of people moved into Chang'an, and most of those people were officials of the Han Dynasty. This also led to a large increase in both the manpower demand in the city and the living materials. The local people also took advantage of the opportunity to work in the fields when they were busy. Go to the city to help in free time.

Therefore, in the season of spring plowing, the number of people who go to the city to help workers is a little less, and the price of labor has risen sharply.The families of ordinary officials and eunuchs from central Sichuan are almost complaining about the sharp rise in labor costs, and lamenting the recent rise in food prices.

Then, they couldn't help but miss the days in Chengdu. Whenever the farming season was busy, the Qiang people and Ge people from the mountains would go out of the mountains and enter Shuzhong to work as servants to earn money and grain.The manpower at that time was not much different from that in the slack days of the past.At present, in Chang'an City, the price of manpower is several times higher than in the past, so it is really not easy to live in Beijing.

"Now that Huai City has been rebuilt, the shops are orderly, no one breaks the rules, and merchants come one after another. This is really the merit of Uncle Wang." Prince Liu Sui sat opposite Jingzhaoyin Ganling King Liu Yong, and praised.

Liu Yong looked at the bustling scene under the high-rise building, and said lightly: "After the Han Dynasty moved the capital, the population of Chang'an multiplied. If I don't pay for the reconstruction of Huai City, the people will gather themselves into the city. It's just pushing the boat with the wind. As for the enforcement of the law , It is indeed difficult for ordinary officials to do it."

Liu Yong was an official as a king, and he was quite self-encouraging in his early years, but after being praised by others for many years and his achievements in politics, he has long lost his modesty at the beginning, and now he is quite proud.

However, Liu Yong is also entitled to be proud. After Yan Fei passed away, Yang Xi succeeded Jing Zhaoyin. Although he helped the court complete the task of moving the capital, it also left behind some messes.

After Liu Yong came to power, the first thing to do was to strike hard. Any son of the rich and powerful who broke the law and discipline would be punished according to the law without mercy and without selflessness.If someone tries to intercede through the back door, those who are not friends will all be reported to the court and punished.

A few days ago, when Liu Yong was inspecting Chang'an City, he found Liao Hua's second son, Liao De, in the street, having a quarrel with people, and another vicious dog was acting fiercely, which almost caused a fight.Liu Yong reprimanded Liao De on the spot, ordered the vicious dog to be killed, cooked it on the spot, and shared the profits with everyone present.

This matter was impeached by Yushitai to Liu Chan on the charge of Liu Yong privately destroying other people's money.Liu Chan fined Liu Yong a salary of two years according to the law, as a punishment, and compensated Liao De.Liu Yong didn't feel anything about the penalty salary. His title was Wang Jue, and he really didn't like Jing Zhaoyin's salary.

Liao De, who was whipped, avoided Liu Yong like other powerful children, not daring to cause trouble, for fear of being targeted by Liu Yong.After all, Liu Yongke is different from other officials. He is the second generation with the strongest background in the Han Dynasty. As long as he does not commit the crime of treason, no one will dare to touch him.

The Huai City that was rebuilt in the mouth of the prince was built by Liu Yong himself. What he said should have achieved the meaning of "paying to work" in the mouth of some experts in later generations.

During the Han Dynasty, the construction of the bazaar was funded by the official government and related personnel. The relevant personnel included local people raising funds, or government officials paid for it personally.

Liu Sui held up the wine bottle and drank a few sips with Liu Yong, chatting about the affairs of the court and reminiscing about the old family relationship.Liu Sui is still quite close to this Uncle Wang, and his words are not unfamiliar.

When he was drunk, Liu Sui consciously stopped, and said: "Uncle Wang, don't drink any more, my nephew will go to the palace to see the emperor at night."

Liu Yong blushed slightly, and said: "I wonder if the prince can send a few singers to the palace for Gu to please His Majesty."

Liu Sui frowned, and said, "Uncle Wang, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the etiquette! Sui is the crown prince, if I send a singer to my father, I'm afraid it will be pleasing to my father..."

If Liu Sui really gave Liu Chan a woman for Liu Yong, the reputation of being a virtuous man built by himself would basically be ruined.For a moment, Liu Sui wondered whether the affectionate Uncle Wang in front of him was trying to frame him.

Liu Yong didn't seem to understand Liu Sui's meaning, and said bluntly: "Recently, there should be a rumor in Chang'an that His Majesty is grateful to Mrs. Pan of Wu State. The beauty is not as good as the beauties presented by En Xinggu. If it is not good, you should stay away from Pan."

Hearing this, Liu Sui's face was really green. He had only heard a little about this matter. Uncle Wang can persuade him by himself, but if he advises him, he doesn't know what will happen.

The current Liu Sui really realized that Liu Yong was drunk, and he also envied Uncle Wang's unrestrained personality, saying whatever he wanted, and no one scolded him.

"Uncle Wang is drunk! This is beyond what my nephew can say."

As he said that, Liu Sui called his attendants, helped Liu Yong down to rest, and led the others away first.

At this moment, Liu Chan is also regretting what he did, and now he really regrets having a relationship with Pan.In fact, it's okay to have a relationship, as long as she keeps it a secret, only a few people in the palace will know about it.But she is really beautiful and has no brains, so she spread the news that she was favored by Liu Chan, lest people would not know about it, and tried to enter the palace as his wife.

But Liu Chan didn't think so. He just wanted to try something new, to satisfy his selfish desire to conquer the enemy's daughter, and he didn't want to bring Pan's family into the palace at all.

Unexpectedly, without knowing it, Mrs. Pan still wanted to enter the palace to be his wife, and spread the news and contacts, which also convinced Liu Chan.

Right now, he is facing Dong Yun's persuasion, and he is quite ashamed.

Dong Yun said righteously: "Your Majesty, Confucius said: "A gentleman does something, and he doesn't; a villain also does something, and he doesn't. "Since your majesty is the king of the great Han Dynasty and the ruler of the whole world, An Neng is greedy for beauty and commits misdemeanors. He favors the Pan family and brings him into the harem. If this happens, how will the people of the world treat your majesty, the people of Wu and Yue? And how to see the Holy One."

"If your majesty thinks that there are not enough concubines in the palace, her color is not good enough, and she is old and decrepit. You can order a wide selection of beautiful women to enrich the harem, so why bother with the daughter of the enemy's country. This woman is not a good person. Although she is very beautiful, But his temperament is sinister, so I hope His Majesty will think twice before acting, so as not to cause chaos in the palace." Dong Yun said.

Judging by the number of concubines, Liu Chan is really not lecherous.The emperor had twelve concubines as his normal system, and there were no more than twelve concubines in the palace from Liu Chan's ascension to the present.Not counting the eight beauties presented by Xiahouhui, there are only a few of them so far, namely Wang, Xiang, Li, Xiahou, Zhang, Yuan, and Yin sisters, who are much better than Sun Quan, Cao Rui, Cao Cao and other monarchs.

Just when Liu Chan didn't know what to do, a person appeared to relieve him.

The majestic Xiahou Hui walked in slowly, dispersed the people in the hall, stared at Dong Yun coldly, and scolded: "The doctor Yushi is so courageous, he dares to criticize the affairs of the harem. He is alone in the six palaces, and he is in charge of your majesty." Gongwei, you haven't spoken yet, how can you allow you to be presumptuous here."

Facing Xiahou Hui's icy sword-like gaze, Dong Yun didn't dare to look directly at him. He lowered his head and opened his mouth and said, "Zhaoyi, I don't mean that. I'm just thinking about your Majesty. I'm afraid that your Majesty will do something against the etiquette and law, so as to hurt others." In the name of His Majesty's sages."

Xia Houhui walked to Dong Yun's side, looked at him for a few times, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is worried, and everyone knows it. However, this matter is just a gossip, not by His Majesty, so how can you take it seriously? Come to advise His Majesty."

Dong Yun was at a loss for words for a while, he didn't know what to say, he really didn't have any evidence to prove that His Majesty did this.

Seeing this, Liu Chan eased the atmosphere and said: "I know the truth of this matter. Today is the day to rest and take a bath, please step back and go back to the house to rest."

"No!" Dong Yun stepped back and responded.

"lady!"

Liu Chan stood up and shouted enthusiastically.

Xia Houhui stepped forward slowly, with a smirk on his face, pretending to straighten Liu Chan's collar, and whispered meaningfully: "Your Majesty, the smell of wild game is very strong, and the smell of long-term food is lingering. I am afraid it will be known to others. Your Majesty, if you like it Delicious, this concubine should go down for your majesty."

Liu Chan showed embarrassment, held Xiahou Hui's catkin, and asked: "The smell of mutton is already entangled, what is Madam's strategy?"

Xia Houhui smiled slightly and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the smell of mutton has reached King Ganling, and the wild game has been moved to the Taoist temple in the mountains. It should be far away from the market and unknown."

Liu Yong, who was drunk on the couch, sneezed a few times, turned over and fell asleep again, very peacefully.
