The big man has a living father

Chapter 257 (Big Chapter) Fengshan Monument
Faced with this sudden change.

Faced with this Donghun County, the ministers who followed him all lowered their heads.

They don't know what's going on, but they can imagine how bad the political impact of this incident is, so they won't participate in the speech at all.

Yi Zong can be said to be the acting Chief Justice at this time, and is currently the Chief Justice.

Since there was no one in the Court of Justice, he was in charge of this job.

Yi Zong raised his head and was about to speak when he saw his friend Zheng Antai, who pursed his lips, turned down his mouth corners, and nodded twice.

Yi Zong retreated again. When Liu Che went to direct other things, Yi Zong walked up to Zheng Antai and asked, "Why are you stopping me from giving my opinion?"

Zheng Antai: "Did you really see what was going on?"

Yi Zong: "This is very strange. Every county now has a police brigade. Your Majesty and the Imperial Envoy's business are spread across every county. Logically speaking, they should have known about it a long time ago."

"The news did not reach Chang'an, which means that the police sent here were quickly corrupted. The manager of the Huo's business and the managers of the various royal shops were all corrupted."

"They can make a county so airtight, are there any similar counties in the world? This shows that there is something wrong with the system!"

Zheng Antai looked at Yi Zong and said, "Oh, there is a problem, there is a problem, how to deal with it?"

Yi Zong: "Of course we should crack down hard, investigate thoroughly, and kill!"

"Arrest them, investigate them, and execute them later!"

As he spoke, Yi Zong made a knife-like gesture.

Although Yi Zong has become accustomed to the scientific spirit of law over the years, he still remains a cruel official.

When encountering this kind of problem, the approach must be to crack down on it severely and investigate it strictly.

Zheng Antai: "Let me ask you, what did your Majesty come here for?"

Yi Zong: "Inspection."

Zheng Antai: "I'm asking, why did Your Majesty come to such a small place in the northwest of Kaifeng, to the land of ancient Zheng?"

Yi Zong: "I want to go... to Fengshan."

Zheng Antai: "Okay, then let me ask you, since it is Fengshan, economic development is now the top priority, and the new business reform has achieved remarkable results, but a negative example appears at this time, how to deal with it?"

Yi Zong didn't say anything.

Zheng Antai: "Do you really think that Your Majesty doesn't know that there is a corrupt official in Donghun County? Your Majesty, why did you come to Beilu Pavilion when you were inspecting somewhere else? You just happened to inquire about Donghun County, and then you came here?"

"Even if Your Majesty really knows nothing, the guards in the front team had already come to investigate on the way here. After discovering something was wrong, they informed Your Majesty on the way. If Your Majesty didn't want to cause any trouble during the Fengshan ceremony, why did you insist on coming to Donghun County at this time? After Your Majesty learned the news, why didn't you just go back home, take the train, continue to Fengshan at Mount Tai, and then send the embroidered envoy to continue investigating Donghun County in secret?"

Yi Zong: “This…”

This stabilized Yi Zong.

According to Zheng Antai's analysis, Liu Che either came to this place on his own initiative to cause trouble, and his purpose was related to Fengshan, or it was even possible that this was the most important program to be performed in Fengshan.

If Liu Che didn't know about this place beforehand, he must have known about it half an hour before coming, but he didn't leave and still came. That means he thought of how to make use of Donghun County.

After Zheng Antai understood the problem, he looked at Yi Zong again: "If it's just an investigation, then Lord Huo is a hundred times better than you in this area, why didn't he give any advice?"

"Also, with Lord Huo's intelligence, is it possible that I can think of something that Lord Huo can't think of?"

Yi Zong: "You mean, the Imperial Envoy..."

Zheng Antai: "Since Your Majesty knew beforehand that there was something wrong with Donghun County, then Lord Huo should also know."

"The reason is simple. If it was ten years ago, the management of the county was solid and solid, and no one would have noticed any problems here."

"But now, the biggest industry of the Han Dynasty is not anything else, but transportation. Donghun County is located on the bank of the Yellow River. To the north is the Yellow River, to the south is the Qian'an Railway, and in between is the Zhengguo Highway."

“This is a transportation hub.”

"Even if the locals are united and no news spreads, will the merchants coming and going not spread the news?"

"The stupid local Donghun County Magistrate thought he had done it perfectly. In fact, Lord Huo should have known about the problem long ago, and he may even know it better than the magistrate himself."

Yi Zong: "But Lord Huo didn't tell me in advance, this is..."

Zheng Antai: "Let me ask you, whose responsibility is it to monitor all officials?"

Yi Zong: "Imperial envoy."

Zheng Antai: "Whose responsibility is it to manage the accounts?"

Yi Zong: "Imperial Envoy..."

Zheng Antai: "Who manages the imperial prison? Who governs the laws of the Ming Dynasty? Who drafts new laws? Who tries major cases? Who inspects local areas?"

Yi Zong: "Imperial Envoy..."

Zheng Antai: "In that case, what else are you going to say? If you say something wrong, it will disrupt Lord Huo's deployment. If I'm not mistaken, Lord Huo already knew about the Donghun County incident. Lord Huo wants to use this incident, plus the Fengshan incident, to propose monitoring the country, investigating new business reforms, and regulating laws to clarify unjust cases."

"Your Majesty wants to use this incident as a negative example and teaching material, and talk about it at length during the Fengshan ceremony, and even keep this incident in mind specifically, just to come up with stricter regulations and erect a monument as a precedent."

If there had not been such a big case, how could Liu Che have lost his temper? How could he have proposed greater restrictions on officials?

If there wasn't such a big case, how could Huo Hai escape? How could he leave the court and avoid this round of developments?

When this case happened, Liu Che and Huo Hai began to bargain with each other.

Liu Che didn't want Huo Hai to leave. Huo Hai had been leading the new business reform for so many years. Who was more familiar with the new business reform than Huo Hai?

But Huo Hai just wanted to run away. He had made too many contributions and he didn't want any more now.

Huo Hai is of the right age now, but he is also starting to "get old", so Huo Hai wants to go out and see the world and put down the things he is doing.

Now the combination of Sima Xiangru and Bu Shi is a perfect match.

There are no cruel officials, but the government is capable of getting things done, and the government is gentle enough to the people and capable of developing the economy.

Their only shortcoming is that they are unable to be ruthless.

But if Huo Hai is monitoring the whole country and may appear in any county at any time, how many people would dare to do anything wrong?
Every time the Dahan Daily reported that Huo Hai had cracked down on some collusion between powerful families and officials, who would dare to take the risk just to live a good life for a year or two or even a few months?

In this way, Huo Hai actually still made the greatest contribution to this round of business reform, but it is not reflected in the credit book.

Huo Hai, you have to give up your power.

The reason was that Huo Hai sprained his waist while doing push-ups.

Suddenly I feel that I am no longer young.

People will change.

Huo Hai suddenly felt that he would also grow old and die, so he wanted to go for a walk and take a look.

Go and see the scenery of the most primitive tribes, and see the barbarian lands that still have slavery.

Go and see the remote counties that have not yet been affected by development, and go and see the places where commercial transformation and development have just begun.

Look at the scenery that has not been destroyed.

At sunrise, the flowers on the river are redder than fire; at starry night, the whales sing.

When will Huo Hai come back?

Whenever Sima Xiangru could no longer carry out his duties and needed to hand over, Huo Hai would come back.

When Huo Hai comes back, it will be time to unify the world in one fell swoop.

By then, Huo Hai should have made up his mind and chosen what to do.

After listening to Zheng Antai's analysis, Yi Zong realized that he almost did something stupid.

Looking back, I saw that none of those present, who were worthy of being dukes and princes, stood up. They were not as impulsive as me.

After hearing Yi Zong's words about how lucky he was, Zheng Antai shook his head and said, "They have been with His Majesty for a long time, so they naturally know that they are older, not that they are really better than you. Since you are in this position now, it means that His Majesty thinks you are no worse than them."

Although Yi Zong was born an ordinary person, he is no longer ordinary now.

His sister is Yishuo, a very important leader in the new business reform.

His brother-in-law Lu Bode is also one of the core figures among Wei Huo's generals.

No matter how you look at it, they are no worse than ordinary nobles, and their backgrounds are much better than those who passed the exam. What is there to worry about?
Soon, the county magistrate and two clan leaders of powerful families in the county were arrested and brought to justice.

There were a total of forty-three policemen in the entire county, and all of them were arrested.

The wealthy families still in Beiluting and other places had wanted to escape as early as when Liu Che came to Donghun County.

But how could they escape?

There was a loud thunder in the sky, which made everyone marvel. How could there be thunder in winter?

Only those who know the matter know that it was the detonator that exploded.

If there is something that someone doesn't want people to check, it will be blown up.

But it was all in vain.

Soon, the Royal Guards came riding on tall horses, galloping in the rain.

The raincoat is not stained by rain and the raindrops slide down.

The Imperial Guards arrived just as Liu Che returned to the imperial carriage team, and knelt down, "Report! Your Majesty, the Nanluting nobles who intended to blow up the mines that minted coins privately have all been captured."

Liu Che put his hands behind his back, did not look back, but tilted his head: "What happened to the explosion?"

The Imperial Guards lowered their heads and said, "It was still a little too late. The explosives were ignited. However, we dragged the explosives out and threw them into an open area before they exploded. The evidence was not destroyed."

Liu Che nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will promote you to the rank of Commandant of the Imperial Chariot."

Turning his head, Liu Che said: "Let's set off and investigate as we go."

On the other side, Huo Hai stopped riding his horse and got into Princess Wei Chang's carriage.

Princess Wei Chang had just given birth to her second child and had not gone out for a walk for a long time. Now a winter rain fell, and Huo Hai came in specifically, closed the door, sat next to him, checked on his wife, and then they warmed themselves by the fire together.

Princess Wei pulled Huo Hai's sleeve and said, "Is this really necessary?"

Huo Hai: "I used to hope that old man Sima could live a few more years because I didn't want a man as talented as him to be without offspring."

"I now hope that old man Sima can live a few more years and do me a favor."

Some developments really cannot be suppressed.

In order to reduce the possible impact of Liu Che's possible evildoing on the overall situation in the world, Huo Hai brought all the people who studied wired electricity this time.

If they had been allowed to stay in Chang'an, cable television would have been available within three months at the latest.

Once this thing comes out, it’s hard to say what Liu Che will become.

When the emperor with the most centralized power in history, the emperor with the greatest power, has the ability to verbally command every village, "the second machine gun on the left side of the trench moves three meters to the right", it is no longer just a joke for the bald man.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Che, like in history, turned evil in his later years, and his desire for power and control erupted again and reached a higher level.

In the history of the previous life timeline, Liu Che fought all his life, and finally dealt with his own crown prince in his later years.

After this person set a good example, all the great rulers in history could not find a crown prince who could succeed to the throne and serve as emperor for a few years.

But don’t forget that great rulers in history would generally take away those ministers who were too capable in their later years.

If there is any way to avoid this.

That is, when these heroes were alive, there was some unfinished great cause that needed to be continued.

Then there will naturally be no problem of "the cunning rabbit dies and the running dogs are cooked, and the good bows are hidden after the birds are all gone."

So, Huo Hai has to hide away for a while.

The convoy moved forward, Huo Hai was warming his hands on the stove, and soon there was a knocking sound outside the carriage.

Huo Hai lifted the curtain and looked out.

It was Jiang Buyi.

Huo Hai pulled Princess Wei Chang's scarf higher to cover her face, and then opened the window of the carriage.

Jiang Buyi: "After hearing about the incident in Donghun County, General Huoqi returned from the front. Do you want to..."

Huo Hai shook his head: "Whatever you say, big brother is fine."

Jiang Buyi nodded: "I understand, sir."

Huo Hai: "Jiang Buyi, how old are you this year?"

Jiang Buyi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head: "Twenty-seven."

Huo Hai: "That's about it. Recommend me a driver. I'll arrange something else for you to do."

Jiang Buyi was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse, but the car window was already closed.

Xiang Xu went out at this age and became the general manager of Anluo Railway. Five years later, at the age of 32, he took up the post of the Ministry of Communications.

Ranked among the Nine Ministers.

When Jiang Buyi goes out, he will also be given the position of a quasi-Nine Ministers.

When he came to his senses, the horse had fallen far behind the carriage. Jiang Buyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Where could he find a new groom for the big shot?

Jiang Buyi thought about all the young talents he had met in his life.

Then I thought of a more suitable candidate.

However, if I am going to leave the adults, I will probably have to leave Chang'an for a while. Should I say hello to my teacher?

Soon, Jiang Buyi arrived beside the prince's carriage.

The prince's guards were originally prepared to stop the person coming, but when they saw that it was Jiang Buyi, they did not take action.

Jiang Buyi knocked on the car window.

Liu Ju in the car had already realized that it was Jiang Buyi. He didn't plan to open the window or draw the curtains. He just stammered, "Who~Who?"

Jiang Buyi: "Teacher, I saw you when I set out from Chang'an."

This time when Liu Che set out, he did not leave a crown prince in Chang'an.

Logically, the crown prince should be left behind when going out.

However, Liu Che's control over the empire was already so strong that he no longer needed a regent.

Whenever anything happened, the news would reach Liu Che's ears within three days along the railway line.

It would take Liu Che less than a week to mobilize an army of 100,000 from any road node.

With the core of the Yulin Guard being a musketeer team whose firearms level is at least one generation higher than that of other gun-wielding teams, no one could threaten Liu Che.

Therefore, when Emperor Liu Che was enthroned, he brought Liu Ju with him.

However, Liu Ju would not be brought along when they went up the mountain. Instead, he would be left guarding the palace at the bottom of the mountain.

That’s right, Liu Che built a temporary palace at the foot of Mount Tai. He had too much money and had no place to spend it, so he just spent it wherever he could and considered it as creating jobs.

After all, a palace requires thousands of staff members, so it is easy to spend money.

Hearing Jiang Buyi's words, Liu Ju said: "Oh, you finally found it."

Jiang Buyi: "It really is you, Teacher. I was just lying, but I didn't expect it to be true."

The curtains were drawn and the car windows opened. Liu Ju said, "Huh?! You're cheating!"

"Forget it, if you know, then you know. It's pointless to keep it secret for too long anyway."

Liu Ju used to teach Jiang Buzhi for fun, but later it became a game, and then it became meaningless. And the pressure was huge.

It would be too troublesome to hide someone of Jiang Buzhi's status from him.

Jiang Buyi bowed: "Your Highness, Lord Wu Hou asked me to prepare to go out to work, so..."

Liu Ju: "I want you to stay and build our electric car factory, and then defeat their diesel locomotives."

Liu Ju thought about developing trams himself.

However, the one who came to perform the Fengshan ceremony this time was a fire tricycle.

This made Liu Ju very upset.

The appearance of the three-wheeled fire vehicle seemed to be mocking Liu Ju: "Your car is not good enough, can't you come?"

Jiang Buyi: "Teacher, although the structure of our chassis is different from that of the research institute, the actual use effect is not much different."

"We may be able to start this factory, but it will not actually contribute much to society as a whole."

"Even if it works, it will just add a few more points to the existing score of the car."

Liu Ju: "No! The route I chose represents another route. The internal combustion engine represents the differentiated use of private energy, while electric energy is the use of centralized energy. These are essentially two different things."

Jiang Buyi actually wanted to say that he had already secretly asked Huo Hai this question.

Jiang Buyi, Huohai Expressway, is indeed like this.

However, at present the difference is not significant.

Jiang did not doubt Huo Hai when the difference would become big.

Huo Hai said that the per capita power generation was 5,000 kWh.

Jiang Buyi was shocked.

At present, the per capita power generation in Chang'an is 12 kilowatt-hours, and the per capita power generation in the entire Han Dynasty is less than 1 kilowatt-hour!
To develop it to 5,000 degrees, wouldn’t that require 500 billion degrees of electricity?

Huo Hai shook his head and said no, because when this goal is reached, the Han Dynasty will have a population of at least 500 million, so it should be 2.5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Jiang Buyi was really shocked.

Because, at present, the efficiency of electric looms is 100 times that of workers' manual work! That is to say, if one can weave 1,300 meters of cloth a day, the electricity cost is 4 to 9 kWh.

Just calculate based on seven degrees of electricity.

In other words, 2.5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity can weave 460 trillion meters of cloth, or 460 billion kilometers.

According to current scientific calculations, the length of the Earth's equator is a little over 40,000 kilometers, which means...

The cloth woven in a year could circle the equator 10 million times.

Jiang Buzhi calculated again. The Qian'an Railway is a total of 1,380 kilometers long. So, these cloths can be used to lay more than 300 million layers on this railway.

Fifty thousand meters thick.

And fifty thousand meters is beyond the earth's underlying space.

After Jiang Buyi had calculated this, he just wanted to tell Liu Ju: "Teacher, this is impossible."

"This goal is correct, but it is impossible to achieve with current productivity. It will take at least a hundred years."

Liu Ju: "A hundred years is a hundred years!"

Jiang Buyi: "We will be dead a hundred years from now, teacher."

Liu Ju: "Jiang Buyi, are you going to betray your master and ancestors?!"

Jiang Buyi: "Teacher, I will resign and go home now."

Liu Ju: "That's not necessary. You can be the crown prince's palace secretary and concurrently the Jingzhao Yin."

Jiang Buyi was stunned for a moment.

Liu Ju: "I was young before and didn't understand. Now my father wants me to compete with my cousin. What do you think the teacher should do?"

Jiang Buyi bowed his head: "Since it is your majesty's idea, it should be realized."

Liu Ju: "Then come and help me."

Jiang Buyi lowered his head and said, "Teacher, I am willing, but it's just on Lord Wuhou's side."

Liu Ju: "Wait for an opportunity."

The convoy arrived at the railway and everyone got back on the train.

When Jiang Buyi came over to arrange the crew for this carriage, Huo Hai asked, "What position did the prince assign to you?"

Jiang Buyi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Hai..."

Huo Hai interrupted: "When you are working, you can call it your position, or your title."

Jiang Buyi: "Lord Wuhou, the prince has arranged for the Jingzhao Yin and the Prince's Palace Secretary."

Huo Hai nodded: "Then the prince's team is, Shi De is the prince's junior teacher, in charge of the internal affairs, you are the Zhanshi and Jingzhao Yin, in charge of the external affairs."

Jiang Buyi lowered his head and said nothing.

Huo Hai: “Go ahead and do it.”

Jiang Buyi whispered, "Master Wuhou, if I... wouldn't that be disloyal?"

Huo Hai: "I didn't ask you to be unfaithful, and I didn't ask you to do anything. Just do what you should do."

Jiang Buyi knew very well that since Huo Hai knew about the prince's arrangement, he must also know that His Majesty wanted the prince to compete with him.

"But, Lord Wu Hou!"

Huo Hai: "Go ahead. Have you thought about the driver's matter?"

Jiang Buyi nodded and said, "Four years ago, I met a child from a railway family. When I saw this child, I remembered myself back then."

"This child is called Da. He is a very smart child. His parents were both workers who built the railway, but they both died in an accident."

"He was arranged by Lord Xiang Xu to study in Chang'an and given a large pension, but someone was eyeing the pension. Lord Xiang Xu asked me to take care of him, and that's how I got to know this child."

"The child is now eighteen years old."

Huo Hai: "Answer, no last name?"

Jiang Buyi shook his head.

Huo Hai: "Where are you from?"

Jiang Buyi: "Yangzhou."

Huo Hai: "Then the surname should be Wu, Wu Da."

"Transferred from Chang'an."

Jiang Buyi was surprised: "Sir, you...are not going back?"

Huo Hai: "How fresh! If I go back, why would I change the driver?"

Jiang Buyi pondered: "But, the situation is changing every day. If you don't go back to Chang'an, it will not be the same as the last time in the South. In the future..."

What Jiang Buyi wanted to say was that with his help, the prince would have everything in Chang'an in his hands.

Huo Hai: "When I took you away, Xiang Xu said the same thing."

"I hope you can work harder and help the prince build Chang'an into an iron wall. It would be best if you can forget about me completely."

……

The train finally arrived at the foot of Mount Tai and did not go to Qiancheng.

After Liu Che was preparing for the Fengshan ceremony, he went to Qiancheng to take a look at the ships going to North America, the ships going to Australia Island, the ships going to India and even exploring routes further away.

However, the current task is to climb Mount Tai and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

This time, the Fengshan ceremony had two steps.

One is to offer sacrifice to heaven, and the other is to offer sacrifice to the earth.

Use good news to sacrifice to heaven and use human heads to sacrifice to earth.

When offering sacrifice to heaven, one must recite the astronomical scriptures orally; when offering sacrifice to the earth, one must erect a monument of faith.

Everyone got off the train, took a horse-drawn carriage, and walked towards Mount Tai along the wide asphalt road.

According to Liu Che's previous plan, he was supposed to offer sacrifices to heaven during the New Year in October, when winter had just begun and it was not too cold.

And now, it is New Year’s Eve.

Horribly cold.

There is still thick snow on Mount Tai.

Of course, there are stone steps leading up to the top, and the stone steps are clean.

If necessary, we can lay carpet tomorrow.

The convoy moved forward.

Suddenly a voice came from the mountains: "Long live!"

"Long live!"

All the horses were frightened.

Huo Hai rode his horse to the front of Liu Che's carriage and said with a smile: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Liu Che: "I no longer believe in immortality since I saw onion cells under a microscope."

Huo Hai was stunned for a moment.

Liu Che: "For such a small thing to last for ten days or half a month without breaking is a skill. Even if it is the so-called metabolism, how many cells can a person replace in his lifetime? If a person is a piece of iron, bones are bones, and flesh is flesh, I really believe in immortality."

"How many people did you place in Mount Tai? Why are you shouting so loudly? An avalanche will bury you in a moment."

Huo Hai raised three fingers and said, "I swear, this was definitely not arranged by me."

Liu Che nodded: "I understand, Luo Lie arranged it."

"Let's get on with it."

When they arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, Liu Che directly captured the county magistrate of Donghun County, the prefect of Chenliu, and seventeen local nobles, and hundreds of heads, and offered them as a sacrifice to the earth.

The inscription written by Liu Che in advance was also carved and placed at the foot of Mount Tai.

The general meaning is that the economy is the only thing that can help people's livelihood. If you want to be greedy, you must have the courage to spend it.

The court is well aware of how many people have relied on the policies to gain benefits. As the times change, the court must slowly investigate and deal with them.

But those who are so ruthless and greedy for profit that they keep all the benefits for themselves will eventually die.

If this kind of situation occurs in the future, it must be severely punished.

Anyone who enjoys the benefits can forget about living a good life.

Sent to Australia Island to herd cattle and mine! Implicate three generations and not allowed to return to Han!
Even if you come back after three generations, the household registration book must record five generations!

This inscription on Liu Che's stele has two meanings.

You are too greedy and you will die soon.

If you are not too greedy, the court will not ignore you. Instead, it will investigate you step by step.

It's useless for you to be greedy. Once we find out, all your property will be confiscated and belong to the court.

Are you sure you want to use your and your descendants' most basic rights as Han Chinese to help the imperial court make money?

If you have this idea, then go ahead. The court will exile you for three generations and give you five generations of tattoos to record your great achievements.

In fact, this matter had been decided to be done eight hundred years ago.

Huo Hai has been developing the economy, but he has also been madly showing how bad businessmen can be when they have money, and how powerful officials can be if they become greedy.

It is not an empty statement that capital will alienate everything it comes into contact with. Liu Che has observed carefully over the years and has found that there is no industry, position or link that is not affected.

The reason is that people lack self-control.

Some people know that this should not be done, but they still hold on to the hope of getting away with it.

Therefore, this matter must be severely punished.

A light penalty is useless.

But all this is in vain, because it is impossible to kill all such people.

It's like there are always thieves in the market.

Therefore, Liu Che wanted to bring up this matter at such an important ceremony as the Fengshan and Heavenly Offering Ceremony at Mount Tai in order to make his attitude clear.

Unless there is any major change in the world, the next emperor will definitely remember this incident.

Only after completing this task did Liu Che climb the mountain.

As planned, Liu Ju went to the Taishan Palace at the foot of the mountain to guard it.

Huo Hai inspected the prisons in the surrounding areas.

Liu Che took Huo Yan with him to climb the mountain.

But the difference is that the General of Cavalry accompanies him all the way as security.

Therefore, Liu Che took his adopted son and his grandson to the mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

No one knows what happened or what they said during the climb up the mountain.

Only Sima Qian followed, but he was still very far away and could only barely understand the conversation they wanted him to know.

There aren't many conversations, just Liu Che asking Huo Yan if he's tired, and Huo Qubing asking Liu Che if he's tired.

Until the Fengshan ceremony was over.

This journey took quite a bit of time.

When Liu Che came down the mountain, two more people knelt next to the pile of heads.

He was just arrested by Huo Hai when he went to investigate the criminal case.

Liu Che: "You are lucky to have caught up. You were not worthy of being recorded in history, but now you will be infamous forever."

"Chopped."

Huo Hai then said: "Your Majesty, along the way, although the world is full of changes and the people live a prosperous life, there are still some places where people are trapped by corrupt officials and live in poverty, unlike the people of the Han Dynasty."

"The Han court belongs to all the people of the Han Dynasty. Even if there is only one corrupt official, the court must investigate and expose him to set an example."

"Now that I am the Imperial Envoy, I hope to be able to supervise the criminal justice system, monitor the people's livelihood, offer gifts for Mount Tai, and plead for the people."

Liu Che could only agree: "Go ahead."

No one expected that this trip would take so long.

Sima Xiangru is so long-lived.
