Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 8: The drought has lasted for a long time
Although the tortoise lives long, it still has its own time;
When the snake rides in the fog, it turns into dust.

Old Ji Fu, ambitious;
The martyrs are young and strong.

……

"Grandson Jing, please take a look. I have not read much and I am afraid that some of the words may be engraved incorrectly."

The night passed quickly.

After Liu Jing stated his request, although Liu Ju was worried, since he had decided to take it one step at a time, the request of his second son would naturally be met.

The stonemason was a servant in the Prince's Palace. He carved words steadily, accurately and quickly, which perfectly met the requirements of the wealthy and powerful - an illiterate person who could carve words!
Liu Jing was not surprised by this.

He looked at the half of the painting "The Longevity of the Turtle" in front of him.

This was originally a work of Cao Cao's lament that a hero should have great ambitions even when he is old.

however.

I’m afraid that the monk will recite the wrong scriptures.

For example, the explanation of the first two sentences.

[Even if the divine turtle has a long lifespan, it will eventually reach the end of its lifespan. ]

[Even if the Teng Snake has the ability to fly in the clouds, it will eventually turn into dust. ]

These two sentences were probably like a bolt from the blue to Liu Che.

This time.

Liu Jing has really given it his all.

This is also the reason why he only let the stonemason Zhangyu participate from beginning to end.

After all, if Liu Ju saw it, he would definitely stop it.

He did not complete the painting of "The Turtle's Longevity", but only carved the first four lines...

In addition, he thought of many ways to achieve a "retro" effect.

Not only did he ask the stonemasons to polish the stone carefully after roughly carving it, but he also asked them to give the stone a sense of having been weathered by wind, frost, rain and snow for a long time.

In order to make it more realistic, he also used some small techniques from later generations.

After all, in order to make that historical game, some materials could not be found, so he had to polish them himself. In order to create an ancient atmosphere, he really consulted many experts.

Soon, most of the works from Prime Minister Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had been portrayed!
This first half should have a great impact on His Majesty, right?

I feel a little nervous just thinking about it.

Liu Jing rubbed his eyes. Although he only carved thirty-two words, he really put in a lot of effort.

"I'm sorry to have delayed the rest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Imperial grandchildren."

The stonemason finished carving.

He soon came behind Liu Ju and others. As a family servant, he naturally knew what had happened in the Prince's Palace during this period.

The master is humiliated and the servant dies. Once the prince is really framed by that traitor, no one in the entire prince's palace can escape.

Therefore, he did not ask any more questions, and after completing the task, he pretended that he knew nothing.

"Take him down and reward him handsomely."

At this time, after Liu Ju gave his instructions, he wanted to get closer to check...

"No, remember what I said. If you see it, this auspicious omen will not work."

Liu Jing quickly stopped the latter.

At the same time, he looked at the servant on the other side and said:
"Quick, lift this thing up, soak it in the water, and then pour in the things I just asked for."

"After three hours, take it out and bury it in the pit."

"Bury it deeper. After you're done, dig up the soil in the nearby gardens. Jiang Chong and the others came here to dig yesterday. Pay attention. The soil should be compacted where it is buried."

Fortunately, there was a rockery and pond nearby, and they had dug yesterday...

Heaven helps me, earth helps me, and even my enemies help me.

Liu Jing sighed.

Then I thought of "The Longevity of the Turtle".

To be honest, he hadn't thought of this idea when he advised Liu Ju last night. It was only after he came to the garden and saw the turtle-shaped stone that the idea came to him.

And afterwards, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

"By the way, did father send people to Shanglin Garden to capture those wizards last night?"

Shanglinyuan was a very large royal territory. When Emperor Liu Che first ascended the throne, he bought land from the people and expanded it again in order to train troops and hunt here.

It is said that it starts from Lantian and Yichun in the east... along the Zhongnan Mountain to the west, to Changyang and Wuzha, goes around Huangshan Mountain in the north, and turns east along the Weishui River. The area is more than 300 miles wide!

Decades ago, it was the place where Wei Qing made his fortune, where Huo Qubing trained his troops, and the "Whampoa Military Academy" where the Han Dynasty showed off its power to the outside world.

And now, in Shanglin Garden, there are palace waterside pavilions, pavilions, towers, and even a Lingtai Taoist temple that is close to the immortal realm.

Taoists, alchemists, and wizards from all over the world almost all claim to have the ability to "turn stones into gold and prolong life."

The original place where the Han Dynasty's "elite soldiers and generals" trained their troops has now finally been promoted to a place for immortals.

I have to say that this is all the result of His Majesty’s hard work.

"If we really catch them one by one, it would take a lot of time, but we did catch quite a few people whose names we remembered."

"So, the news has already spread?" Liu Jing asked.

Liu Ju nodded seriously.

"Father, didn't you take action in advance last night?" Liu Jing asked again.

Liu Ju looked a little angry, but he forced himself to suppress it.

He just said in a hateful voice: "Do we have to let that traitor come to my prince's palace and act arrogantly again?"

Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then just wait. As the saying goes, if you are arrogant, God will punish you. If we don't make good use of them this time, they will really think that the Prince's Mansion is weak and can be bullied."

Liu Jing comforted Liu Ju, and then said: "After a tiring night, father and elder brother should go to sleep first. After waking up, the good show should be on."

Liu Ju said in distress: "How can I sleep in the current situation?"

"Then I'll go to sleep." Liu Jing was really tired, but before leaving, he hurriedly said:

"Oh, father, you must not go and see it in advance, otherwise it really won't work. If the auspicious sign is not presented, I'm afraid my grandfather won't be able to see it either..."

"Go to bed quickly!" Liu Ju waved his hand. He was confused now. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to listen to his second son.

However, given the current severe situation, it seems that this is the only option.

……

at the same time.

Inside Chang'an City.

The matter fermented overnight, and the "guards" who rushed out of the Prince's Mansion did not hide anything from anyone.

Almost as soon as daybreak came, a huge wave of emotions was felt among princes and ministers, the common people, and even within the imperial palace.

"Let's do it!"

The prince, who had been weak for who knows how many days, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The blatant and unconcealed actions of the guards of the Prince's Palace made many officials and civilians who had suffered from the witchcraft disaster very happy.

At the same time, the thunder in Chang'an City seemed to be gathering more and more...

However, the weather is still hot, or to be more precise, the air is still dry, without a trace of moisture...

Starting from the first year of Tianhan...

Drought and locust plagues ravaged the Han people, who were already exhausted.

Continuous natural disasters, endless wars, complicated corvee labor, and cruel officials have long left this country in ruins.

And this Majesty, who promoted the might of the Han Dynasty, is still working hard!

　There will still be three chapters today, maybe four.
