Destiny Only Han

Chapter 923 Liu Ying: There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime

Yunyang County.

Go south along the wide and straight Jinding Avenue, five miles out of the city, and you will arrive at the county road connecting Guanzhong.

On the left side of the road, outside the largest reed shed for pedestrians to rest their feet and drink tea, stood a dozen strong men with short knives at their waists.

No strangers are allowed in.

This is the signal their murderous eyes send to everyone.

Based on the principle that it is better to do less than to go out, most passers-by choose to rest and drink tea under other reed sheds, but in places where the men can't see, pointing fingers, cursing, and playing the mental victory method with the passers-by who are also cowardly around.

But some people are different.

"You wait, my uncle is Marquis of Chiquan, don't run away if you have the guts!"

"Wait to die, you guys!"

"The brother-in-law who dares to provoke the county magistrate is really tired!"

……

A dandy with a bruised nose staggered up onto the horse, while the attendants behind him who were also bruised and swollen ran towards the county town in a state of embarrassment after saying a few words on the spot.

In the reed shed, Liu Ying was full of confusion.

Liu Ruyi walked in slowly, moving her fists, and said with a smile, "It's cool! I haven't been hanging out in Guanzhong these years, so why do cats and dogs dare to call themselves dudes? Marquis Chiquan? Who is that?"

Liu Ying remained silent.

Zhang Buyi explained with a smile: "It's Yang Xi, didn't he snatch a part of King Xiang? That's why he was made Marquis of Chiquan."

Liu Ruyi nodded: "So it's the old department of the third brother..."

After all, on the current historical line, the person who led the army to chase and kill Xiang Yu was Liu Ying...

Naturally, those who were honored for their merits were Liu Ying's henchmen.

But actually, he and Yang Xi are really unfamiliar.

After sitting down, Liu Ruyi continued, "I wonder where they got the guts. An uncle, who is just a vassal, dares to compete with us for a place. It turns out that he relied on the power of the third brother..."

"But does this count as flooding the Dragon King Temple?"

"Anyway, I just punched him twice, most of the injuries on his body were done by the Huben guards..."

Liu Ying raised her fist: "This man's mouth is for eating. If you beep more, be careful, I will beat you!"

Liu Ruyi: "..."

Fighting and fighting... Zhang Buyi's face was full of excitement.

When they were young, watching Liu Fei or Liu Ying beat Liu Ruyi in a fancy way was his and Liu Le's favorite thing to do!

But now Liu Ruyi no longer has a headache. Facing Liu Ying's half-truth and half-fake threats, he was stunned for a short time and then laughed awkwardly: "The third brother doesn't want to hear it, so brother shut up! Anyway, you are the emperor and I am a courtier. A courtier should listen to the emperor, right?"

Well, he actually didn't dare to gamble.

As he said, Liu Ying is both the emperor and the elder brother, if he beat him half-truth, where would he put his face?

After all, he is no longer a child!
Liu Ying saw that Liu Ruyi was intimidated, so she didn't bother to pester her too much, she looked at the sun outside the reed shed and asked, "It's already this point, why haven't I seen Lao Wu yet?"

Liu Ruyi spread her hands: "That's not clear, maybe Mrs. Bo stayed behind for lunch and then came back?"

Mrs. Bo refers to Bo Ji.

Although her appearance was not within Liu Bang's aesthetic range, she relied on friends when she went out. Under the strong recommendation of her good Ji friends, Liu Bang visited Bo Ji once with the idea of ​​trying something new and humiliating Wei Bao. Although he felt cheated afterwards, he did not return the product. After all, he hit it off that night. Ten months later, Bo Ji gave birth to Liu Heng...

Therefore, Bo Ji changed from a former prisoner of war to the "Eight Sons" who eat eight hundred stones in the Han Palace.

Later, Liu Heng was granted the title of King of Zhongshan, and Bo Ji's mother valued her son, she passed the two levels of "good man" and "beauty" all the way, and became the "wife" second only to the queen.

Liu Ying nodded, with a calm expression on her face: "Then you start praying."

Liu Ruyi asked with question marks all over her face: "Why?"

Liu Ying snorted coldly, but it was a bit hot and he was too lazy to talk.

Liu Ruyi couldn't help clenching her fists.

He swears, if it wasn't because his body was hollowed out by the wine, so that he couldn't beat Liu Ying, he would definitely punch Liu Ying twice in the face with his fist as big as a casserole!

Then he ran back to Lin Guanggong to find Liu Bang for asylum!
"King Zhao...ah bah!" Zhang Buyi suddenly remembered that he was also Liu Ruyi's brother-in-law, so he sighed and changed his address: "Ruyi, could it be that you forgot that you said that the fifth child (Liu Heng) would come to Yunyang today? That's why your third brother brought you and me to wait here?"

"This is the first time that the fifth child has entered the customs after the ban was lifted, and it is still in the name of celebrating the birthday of the Supreme Emperor..."

When Liu Heng entered Guanzhong, Liu Ying didn't go to pick him up because of the difference between the emperor and his ministers, but now that he was coming to celebrate Liu Bang's birthday, Liu Ying naturally came to greet him.

This is the so-called brotherly respect.

In fact, strictly speaking, this time, he will set aside all the guards of honor and ask the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to drive Liu Heng into Lin Guang Palace with the emperor's car.

But it's too hot...

So he used the excuse of not disturbing the people, and asked Liu Heng to come over with the ceremonial guard of the vassal king, and he went out of the city to meet him in micro-clothes...

Liu Ruyi was stunned.

He forgot.

Really!

He completely forgot that he told Liu Ying the news!

At this moment, he remembered the gossip he had heard from nowhere, saying that drinking and sex can damage the brain, especially memory loss!

Damn it, quit drinking from now on... Liu Ruyi squeezed out a flattering smile on her face: "Third brother, the so-called plan can't keep up with the changes. It was the fifth brother who said that he came today. If he really doesn't come, what can I do?"

Liu Ying pointed to her head: "Did you see the sweat on my head? You will know what an equivalent exchange is later!"

Liu Ruyi blinked: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Buyi explained to him again: "It's very simple, how much sweat and tears you shed..."

He is getting more and more excited now.

Not only is a childhood favorite repertoire about to be seen, but importantly he's hot too!

After all, this is the dog days!
Although Yunyang County is located in the Loess Plateau in the north of Guanzhong, the temperature is about ten degrees lower than the overcrowded Guanzhong Plain full of factory chimneys, but he is wearing a long gown!

Three floors inside and outside!

Although silk is light and breathable enough to wear on his body, it doesn't prevent him from becoming a hot dog at the moment!
Liu Ruyi was full of grievances.

He can see now that the dead second child is planning to take revenge on him for beating that dude earlier!
After all, that dude said he was a relative of Chiquanhou Yangxi!

And Yang Xi is Liu Ying's old department!
Can such a narrow-minded person be an emperor?God must be blind... Liu Ruyi wished she could jump up and roar, God treats me so poorly.

But soon, this grief and indignation disappeared.

Without him, there was a loud and melodious golden drum sound on the road in the distance.

This is the guard of honor for the prince to travel.

Although it is not as good as the emperor's Dharma frame and Chengyu, if there is Xiang Yu who's "not enough to study books, but not to learn swords", he must say that bold statement that has been passed down through the ages.

He can be replaced!
"Hahaha!"

Liu Ruyi laughed loudly: "Third brother, do you think I lied to you? Isn't the fifth brother here? Let's go, let's pick him up!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly got up and walked towards the door.

Liu Ying's face was full of displeasure.

Suddenly, he laughed too.

"Fourth, who allowed you to step out with your left foot first?"

Liu Ying looked like you have committed a heinous crime.

..............................

On the road, King Zhongshan's car drove towards Linguang Palace at the foot of Ganquan Mountain without stopping.

In front of the reed shed, a fat young man appeared beside Liu Ying.

This is Zhongshan King Liu Heng.

He didn't wear a royal crown, just like he didn't really sit in a chariot surrounded by hundreds of riders.

But perhaps in order not to be recognized by others, he wears a cone hat on his head, and the gauze curtain hangs down to cover most of his face. He looks a bit like those rich and noble girls who go out to visit friends but Yunying is not married.

Liu Ruyi asked at a place far away from Liu Ying: "Old Wu, are you not hot?"

Liu Ying also nodded: "Take it off, no one knows you... don't you see me and Ruyi like this?"

Liu Henglu showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth under the gauze curtain: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, my brother is a bit shameful now..."

Liu Ying was taken aback for a moment:
"This is a wild place, not an imperial court. There is no need to always talk about 'Your Majesty' or 'Chendi'... Besides, Zhang Buyi is not an outsider, and no one cares about etiquette and impoliteness..."

"Well, don't treat Ruyi as a human being."

Liu Ruyi: "..."

Liu Ying then asked: "By the way, what's the matter with you not being able to see the light? Are you sick? That's just right, there are countless doctors in Chang'an City..."

Liu Heng was silent, but he was a little moved in his heart.

A word of good words will keep you warm in winter.

During those days when he was confinement in the palace under the order of Liu Bang, not to mention the former retainers, even his own uncle avoided him and did not dare to visit him in the palace, even if such visits were allowed!

Only Liu Ying, who persisted in writing sarcasm, drove him half to death...

But in Liu Ying's follow-up letters, there were fewer and fewer sarcasm words, but words of relief took up most of the space.

Although he was full of cynicism at that time, he took this relief as a sarcasm...

But as time went by, that kind of resentment gradually disappeared. Liu Ying's two unshakable letters every month and the Chang'an Post sent with the letters became the only light in those gloomy days.

Well, in the same light, there are snack packs fed by Liu Letuo in a fancy way...

After all, he is now a fat young man.

Liu Heng smiled, and looked at Liu Ying through the gauze curtain: "Third brother, you're so nice..."

You are a good person, your whole family, bah!You are the good person... Liu Ying opened her eyes wide and looked at Oudou, who was repaying her kindness with a grudge, with a dazed face.

Zhang Buyi held back his smile, shook his head and asked, "Old Wu, your skin is so pale, how did you manage it?"

During this period of time, he went fishing with Liu Ying and Liu Bang a lot, and got himself tanned...

This doesn't fit his boyish personality!

So he is eager to know a way to make people whiten quickly!

Liu Heng turned his head, as if talking about someone else's experience: "It's very simple, you just need to seal the doors and windows with wooden boards, and then eat and drink in the room, without a little sunshine every day, about a year, it's almost the same..."

Zhang Buyi was silent, and looked at Liu Ying with some inquiries.

Liu Ying shook her head.

After all, everything was ordered by Liu Bang, and Chen Ping made specific arrangements.

Hearing those calm but sad words, Liu Ruyi couldn't help casting a sympathetic look at Liu Heng.

After all, everyone agreed at the beginning that the brothers would get rid of the dead second child together, and then he would become emperor, and then seal the land of Kanto to Liu Heng...

But later, he found that it was an impossible thing to accomplish.

So, he unilaterally terminated it all.

But what I never expected was that Liu Heng actually took it seriously, and has been planning to poach Liu Ying's corner, and even hired someone to spread Liu Ying's rumors...

Then, as expected, he was sanctioned by the old man!

It's just like what his mother said, no one with the surname Liu (not including him) is good!

Especially Liu Bang, when she was young and beautiful, she said that she should be the most noble woman in the world, but before she was really old, she started to pretend to be dead, saying that she had never said such a thing!

Poor, really pitiful... Liu Ruyi's face was full of pity, but there was no lack of gloating in it.

Well, he doesn't think minting coins is a crime.

After all, who of these feudal lords hasn't done this kind of thing?

It's just that he was playing around to get some pocket money for himself. After all, his prime minister is Liu Ying's confidant, and he cheats accounts in different ways every day!

Therefore, his fraudulent money can be regarded as equal revenge!

It's just that when Liu Ruyi glanced over Liu Ying inadvertently at the moment, she was startled.

Bad food... Liu Ruyi was in a mess.

After all, Liu Ying is famous for being stingy and holding grudges...

So, it's not that you don't report, it's not time yet!
Liu Ying looked back silently, he didn't know why Liu Ruyi looked at him with the expression of a mouse seeing a cat...

But it doesn't matter!
So he looked at Liu Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, I've been working on a crime payment system recently... What do you mean, that is, you kings and princes, as long as you don't commit heinous crimes, such as murder, arson, and conspiracy to rebel, you can pay a fine to Zongzheng to atone for your sins."

"The specific amount depends on how big the crime you have committed..."

"So, you get the idea!"

"When the Dong Chuang incident really happens, you won't be able to get away with paying the crime!"

Liu Ruyi's teeth were almost shattered.

After all, if punishment is unknown, power is unpredictable.

The laws of the Han Dynasty are densely packed with rules and regulations, how would he know that he would commit those crimes unintentionally?
What's more, isn't it just Liu Ying's words to say whether he is guilty or not?
Zhang Buyi thought so too.

However, he was rich and powerful, and asked with a proud face: "Then, can I pay a monthly subscription?"

Liu Ying: "..."

Liu Heng smiled and changed the subject: "Fourth brother, what gift did you prepare for our father?"

Liu Ruyi was full of surprise, pointing to herself: "Ask me?"

Liu Heng nodded: "Of course."

After all, among the people present, Zhang Busu is a son-in-law but rich and powerful, so the only target he can refer to is Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi nodded: "Just send some small things, anyway, Dad won't bother with us..."

The corner of Liu Ying's mouth twitched inexplicably, and she couldn't help laughing.

Liu Heng asked: "Third brother, what are you laughing at?"

Liu Ying replied seriously: "Because my gift will probably be delivered today..."

Liu Heng asked: "What gift?"

He really wants to know.

After all, Liu Ying is the emperor, and he is just a vassal, and he is not very favored. Naturally, the size of the gift cannot exceed Liu Ying, so as not to steal the emperor's limelight!
As for Liu Ruyi's speech, he pretended not to hear it.

His mother is Bo Ji, and he can only see Liu Bang on a few festivals throughout the year, while Liu Ruyi's mother is Qi Ji, who was basically inseparable from Liu in the early years!
Therefore, Liu Ruyi can prepare gifts for Liu Bang as he likes, but he cannot.

Liu Ying shook her head: "It's hard to say. It's hard for me to predict the exact size of the gift, but I still have a guaranteed gift, although it's just a blank check..."

Liu Heng sighed, a little dazed.

Zhang Buyi smiled and said: "Let me give you a reference, it is the gift prepared by Zhiyang."

Liu Heng's eyes lit up.

How could he forget that there is Liu Le!

He just released it, and it was a critical moment to ease the relationship with Liu Bang.

If the gift is poor, it will be considered unfilial, but if the gift is too expensive, it will not only risk surpassing Liu Ying, but more importantly, it will be said that it is not sympathetic to the people.

After all, the vassal king eats the blood of the people, and he has nothing to do with production.

But the most important thing is that his mother is not familiar with Liu Bang and cannot give him the most correct advice!
Now with Liu Le as a reference, his next choice will be very easy.

So he cupped his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, please tell me."

Look at how polite they are, and look at you two bastards... Zhang Buji rolled his eyes at Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi, and then said with a smile: "What Zhiyang gave to the Supreme Emperor is a three-foot-high red coral, a pine made of black jade, and a crane made of Hetian white jade. A few boxes of mascots made of ivory carvings and jadeite..."

Zhang Buyi said while counting one by one with his fingers.

On the other side, Liu Ruyi slowly opened her mouth wide.

Howe!
This was his only thought at the moment.

Red corals are not uncommon, but corals that are three feet high are definitely a rare treasure!
After all, he has been reading newspapers in the past few years. The newspapers said that coral is actually a kind of worm, and this kind of worm grows extremely slowly. It takes about 20 years to grow an inch in height. Three feet high means that this coral has grown for at least 600 years!
As for the Songhe Yannian made of white jade and black jade, it is even more precious!

Really rich... Liu Ruyi looked at the boy who seemed to be showing off, his eyes were full of envy and disdain.

Liu Heng's expression remained the same.

He already knew how to do it.

But after Zhang Buyi said a long list, he said with a smile: "The gifts above are all for others to see. After all, this is the Supreme Emperor's 75th birthday, so it's so shabby! And the real gift from Zhiyang to the Supreme Emperor is actually a jar of 24-year-old wine."

Liu Heng frowned: "75? Isn't this a whole life span?"

Liu Ying smiled and explained to him:

"Confucian Confucius lived to be 73 years old, while Daoist Lao Dan, who lived in seclusion in Qin State after riding a bull into Hangu Pass, lived to be 84 years old."

"That's why there is a saying in Guanzhong that people can't live beyond the two limits of 7384!"

"So, the 75th birthday is worth celebrating."

"As for that jar of 24-year-old wine, it is to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the founding of the Han Dynasty..."

Liu Heng counted with his fingers and nodded heavily.

Red coral mutton fat jade is too ostentatious and expensive, but this kind of 20-year-old wine is available!

After all, Liu Bang likes to drink, so it is a good idea for him to give wine, and this number is also considered a celebration!

Simply perfect!
Xu saw something, Zhang Buyi smiled and said:

"You don't need to buy that wine!"

"The meaning of the jar of wine that Zhiyang sent is not the year, but the producer."

"During his lifetime, Emperor Shengzu (Liu Taigong) made some wine himself and buried it every year, waiting to be used during festivals."

"And the jar of wine that Zhiyang sent there was made by Emperor Shengzu himself. It was buried in Hanzhong. When the Supreme Emperor ordered the Sanqin to invade Guandong, Emperor Shengzu hurriedly moved from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. Maybe he was in a hurry, so he forgot to dig it out..."

"As for later, it may be because there is no shortage of wine, so I haven't dug it all the time."

"Last year, Zhiyang and I revisited the old place, and accidentally found the batch of wine that was buried..."

"At the time, Zhiyang and I didn't say anything because we were afraid of being drunk by the Supreme Emperor. Now it's just a gift!"

"So, later on, you can send someone to move wine to Princess Zhiyang's mansion next to Lin Guang Palace..."

Liu Ruyi cheered.

Being able to get such a meaningful gift for free, he can save a lot of money!

Liu Ying showed a bit of nostalgia on her face.

In fact, Taigong Liu was not the only producer of that batch of wine, but also him.

At that time, it was to prevent the brewed wine used to worship the gods from being secretly drunk by Liu Bang and Lu Wan, so Liu Taigong said that he buried the wine in a place where no one could find it...

But what I didn't expect was that even he himself couldn't find it...

Therefore, Liu Ying took this wine with confidence!

Moreover, he looked at Zhang Bu and asked: "Apart from our brothers, each of us has one pot, is there any left?"

Zhang Buyi was a little alert: "What are you doing?"

Liu Ying smiled and said: "That's what I think. The day after tomorrow is our father's birthday. In other words, we still have today and tomorrow for free activities, so..."

Liu Ruyi said: "The third brother means, let's find a place to take out the extra wine and try it out?"

"Well, it's a newcomer!" Liu Ying raised her eyebrows: "There is a royal hunting ground under the loess plateau to the east of Lin Guanggong. The year before last or last year, I let people stock up a group of roe deer in it, and now it's time to grow up..."

"The important thing is that those roe deer have been castrated in advance, they are wild animals that are used to hunt and eat! And there are special people feeding corn cakes to fatten them up!"

Liu Heng was a little moved.

He had been banned for a year before, which really suffocated him.

Therefore, he is always thinking about the free life in the past!
It's just that his skin has some problems. After being exposed to strong light, a rash will appear.

So he asked: "Third Brother, are you talking about the hunting ground, Lin Zimi?"

Liu Ying asked back: "What do you think is the place where roe deer are raised?"

After all, although silly roe deer are stupid, they are actually very timid. They mostly hide in dense forests during the day, and only go out to look for food in the morning and evening.

Liu Heng felt relieved.

But Zhang Buyi pointed forward: "Whether you want to play or not is another matter, that guy really came back... Huh? The man standing next to him is so familiar! His surname is also Yang, what is his name? By the way, his name is Yang Fu, the son of Yang Xi, Marquis of Chiquan!"

Liu Ruyi immediately grinned ferociously, and strode over with her fists clenched.

If you can't beat Liu Ying, then beat Liu Ying's old department first to vent your anger!
