I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 171 The messy courtroom
The rising sun jumped up from the horizon, lighting up the entire city of Chang'an.

The nighttime curfew was lifted, and every household lowered the latches.

The people left the houses, stretched their waists and walked to the street, breathing the dewy morning air.

at this time.

It has been three days since the banquet, but considering various factors such as the hangover with the banquet guests and the fact that the court site is still being repaired, the officials of the Han Dynasty have been in a state of rest.

Until today, it was the first time that the big man officially went to court.

Shu Suntong got up early, and after washing in the dark, he changed into the court uniform distributed to him, and it was spotless.

With reverence in mind, he went to Miyagi and arranged his clothes again, for fear that there would be a few more wrinkles on his clothes. He felt that his appearance was suitable, so he entered.

Looking up at the Weiyang Palace in the distance, Shu Suntong lowered his head in reverence, and followed the eunuch who led the way step by step, heading for the Xuanshi Palace.

"Let me tell you, the fighting cock I saw in Naxi City yesterday, I heard that it has been trained for more than two years. Hey, it is really brave. One fights three and pecks all the opponents into blind chickens."

"Do you have this strange thing? Brother Zhang must have bought it."

"That's needless to say, after the court is over today, you can come to my mansion to watch the cockfight."

"Hahaha, I understand, I understand, bring that good wine from my house, right?"

……

Hearing the loud and harsh chattering and playing along the way, Shu Suntong couldn't help frowning.

What a system!

This is the place where the majesty of the great man is located, how can you be rude?

He straightened up, turned his head to the side, his face was full of anger, and he wanted to yell.

"Gudong..." After seeing the other person's face clearly, Shu Suntong swallowed, swallowing what he wanted to say along the way.

The people who talked wantonly just now were two Chehous, both of whom were granted more than a thousand households.

I am just a little doctor, and now that I annoy them by speaking out, I will probably be beaten up.

Shu Suntong thought to himself that he was wearing a complicated dress today, and it would be difficult to fight two against one in real hands, and running for his life in front of the palace would be even more degrading.

What's more, if he was beaten up, no one would speak up for him. If those two Chehou framed him and bit him back, he would be the one who is absolutely unreasonable.

After thinking about this, Shu Suntong decided to hold back for the time being.

After all, those who know current affairs are heroes.

However, he has strengthened his inner belief - it's time for a big man to need a proper set of etiquette!
Shu Suntong continued to lower his head, clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, but he followed the eunuch's steps in a steady rhythm without any mistakes.

When he came to Xuanshi Hall, Shu Suntong felt that he was not going to court, but was visiting the market in the north of the city.

The officials were distributed in blocks in the hall, and three or five people who were acquainted gathered together to chat. The only difference from the road was that they were a little in awe, and these people just whispered.

However, Xuande Hall is indoors, and there are more people inside, so in terms of hearing, it is even more noisy.

Taking a deep breath, Shu Suntong helplessly suppressed the boredom in his heart.

He glanced around, then shook his head.

"Oh, it's all like this, with no etiquette... Eh?" Shu Suntong stopped and sighed, and found that there was a person in the front of the hall who was not affected by the surrounding environment, did not talk to other people, and had a straight back.

Looking at that figure from behind, he inexplicably felt his nose sore.

I am not alone!
Immediately, Shu Suntong stopped complaining in his heart, and also sat silently, calming down his heart.

When Liu Bang went to court, the noise below stopped temporarily.

It's just that the officials are still sitting in a mess, not in a neat row.

Frowning slightly, Liu Bang felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

But he decided to talk about the business first: "Xiao Xiangguo, what have you to say about the situation these few days?"

Xiao He got up, took a step forward, saluted and said: "I want to report to Your Majesty, I have six things to do."

Liu Bang nodded lightly: "Xiao Xiangguo, please speak, I'm listening."

Xiao He solemnly reported: "The first thing is that there are more than [-] refugees in Qidi, and they need to allocate food and distribute fields for resettlement;
The second thing is that there are more than ten bandits in Taihang Mountain in Zhaodi, disturbing the people and chaos.

The third thing is that during spring plowing, there is abundant rainfall in Kansai, as far as Beidi County and Shangjun in the north, and Shu and Ba in the south.It is gratifying to congratulate, there is a bumper harvest this year.

The fourth thing is that the Huns raided and harassed the caravans in the north the previous month, and reported to the envoy Fang to Chang'an five days ago.

Fifth, frost fell in April in Yandi, killing crops and begging for food.

The sixth thing is that there are giant dragons infested near the sea in the land of Wu, devouring fish and shrimps on the boats along the coast, so that fishermen dare not go to sea, hoping to cook salt and sell them for money to survive. "

After these things were reported by Xiao He, many people were almost overwhelmed.

Six things, only one of which is good news.

The other five things sound like they affect the livelihood of thousands of people.

But there are also priorities among them, and some are true and some are false.

Xiao He reported the situation truthfully, but will the officials who sent the letter up from below deceive the superior and conceal it?

For example, there are far more than a dozen bandits in the Taihang Mountains, but they have formed a separatist force.

For example, the April frost in Yandi is just a lie, and some people want to use it to enrich their own pockets.

This is the first test Liu Bang has faced since he ascended the throne. He stripped the cocoon from countless complicated things to discover the real situation, or something close to the real situation, and then use the most appropriate method to deal with it.

Knocking on the copy with his hands, Liu Bang made a decision: "The bandits in Taihang Mountain harassed the people under my rule. This is absolutely intolerable to me. Zhou Bo sent three thousand soldiers with sufficient food to quell the bandits in Zhao, and then went to Yan to investigate the situation and help the people.

As for the refugees in Qidi, Liu Fei was asked to take office quickly and resettle them.

Well, the giant flood dragons along the coast of Wu land..."

He calmly arranged many matters in this world, lifting weights lightly.

But in his mind, the bandits in Zhao were the most threatening.

After all, I have experienced the turmoil in the world, and I have spent countless efforts to calm down. I don't want to be ruined because some details are not handled properly.

Sending Zhou Bo to deal with it seems overkill, but it is actually for the sake of safety.

After Xiao He's work was completed, Liu Bang responded to the Chang'an city construction, the distribution of military salaries, and the dismissal of some soldiers to return home.

He rubbed his brows and said, "Everyone, do you have anything else to say? Feel free to come forward and speak freely."

Seeing that the important matters were dealt with, Shusun Tong, who had been waiting for this opportunity, was about to stand up and speak, but just as he raised his head, he saw "the straight figure from the back" standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion that I want to announce."
