Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 328 The Emperor Sells Pork

The spring breeze is sentimental, swaying, blowing green willows by the river, and drunk into the hearts of the people of Chang'an.

This year, since the emperor got married and the imperial court changed the year name, Chang'an City seems to have indeed started to enjoy a peaceful and happy year.The Son of Heaven has governed Chang'an for more than three years. In the first year, because of Dong Zhuo's troubles, people have not seen anything yet.In the second year, the court officials and veterans harassed the government, and the emperor was even forced to write an edict of guilt, which made the people feel sad.However, in the third year, the situation suddenly changed.

Chang'an, once the world's largest metropolis, is rejuvenated almost at a rapid pace.Although it is still far from the prosperity before the war, it has healed the wounds of the war.Even, in some respects, more prosperous than before the war.

After several renovations, Weiyang Palace slightly restored the old system, re-displaying the majesty of the Han Dynasty.However, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, those palaces that are still under renovation make them feel more cordial. On the one hand, those ruins remind them of the price of Chang'an's Antai.On the other hand, they could also see that the new emperor was no longer as virtuous as his arrogant and carefree father.

The changes in Liushi, Dongshi, Xishi and night markets caught the common people by surprise. After the imperial court prospered, the city of Chang'an was full of hawkers and shouts.Countless and never-before-seen goods are available and within reach, which makes the Chang'an people's sense of self-confidence and superiority burst again.After all, compared with other states and counties, they are still worrying about their next meal, but the people of Chang'an are worrying about what to add to their homes.

Walking around in the bustling city of Chang'an, Liu Xie also felt satisfied.In the first year of Xingping in history, Ma Teng and Li Jue attacked each other, Cao Cao pacified Yanzhou, Sun Ce raised troops, Lu Bu became Yanzhou shepherd, Liu Bei became Xuzhou shepherd and other major events, the entire Han Dynasty was in a precarious state.However, after I traveled through, although I failed to prevent the turmoil outside Guanzhong, it really changed Guanzhong.

It is impossible to say that he is not proud of such an achievement.

Now the common people in Chang'an have also clearly known the true identity of this 'Master Chang'an'.But people are really strange sometimes. When they used to be high above, they wished to take a look at them from a distance and be satisfied, but they could meet them on the street from time to time, and they became a little surprised.

However, no matter how familiar they are with the habits, they will all sincerely bow deeply to the emperor with a cynical smile on his face, express their gratitude, and then get busy with the work at hand.

"Your Majesty, I heard that we won another big victory in Kansai? I still have an old mother to support at home, or I would have joined the army long ago. However, we also pay respect to the warriors of the Han army who went to battle to kill the enemy." A seller The meat butcher chopped the finest ribs into equal pieces, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and handed them to Liu Xie, saying: "Stew pork ribs with lotus root, strong tendons and strong bones! Your Majesty gave it to the soldiers wounded in battle, Take it into my heart."

Liu Xie looked at this butcher whose hands were actually trembling, and had already seen how nervous he was behind his rough appearance.Maybe this move, he had been planning for a long time, and secretly encouraged himself so much that he dared to say such a sentence to himself.

So, Liu Xie suddenly laughed, and took the ribs from the butcher's hand without being too greasy, and said hehe: "The wounded have been taken care of by the imperial doctor, and this hair is not for them to eat at this time. Faint king of dead soldiers?"

Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and the butcher's face turned pale immediately, trembling with fear, he almost knelt down in fright.They have only heard from rumors that His Majesty is approachable, but more, they still accept the idea of ​​"the king is superior to the people and the people are inferior to the dead when the emperor is angry" since childhood.At this moment, if I said something wrong, even in the eyes of Ming Jun Shengzhu, my life is nothing more than an ant. The wrath of the emperor is no small matter...

But before the butcher knelt down and begged for mercy, he saw the emperor opened the lotus leaf and looked at the ribs, revealing the greedy eyes of a good eater: "Since my soldiers can't eat it, I can't let you eat it all." All your thoughts are in vain. Leng Shouguang, pay for it."

A pair of soft and slender hands reached into his greasy thick palms, and the butcher lightly touched the eunuch's hand, feeling that as expected of a person in the palace, this hand...is tenderer than his wife's hand.And look at the gesture of someone holding an orchid in his hand, why is he so graceful?

With just such a glimpse, the butcher felt extremely happy: Today, he actually bought his own ribs?I even touched the hand of the Master Chang Shi in the forbidden center... This matter is enough to boast to future generations.

Just so surprised, the butcher didn't hear what His Majesty said afterward, as if, remember what "braised pork ribs in brown sauce are better than stewed pork ribs with lotus root"?
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was really as approachable as the legend said, the common people in other stalls became bolder.However, they still didn't have the guts of a butcher. In order to have a word with the emperor, they learned to beat around the bush without a teacher. One of them shouted at the butcher:
"Old Zhu just because you want to join the army? Do you think that we big men can just arrest people at will, and you don't look at the treatment of our big men now. I heard that if you want to join the army now, you have to screen... that Examination or something, isn't it, Your Majesty?"

"There is such a thing," Liu Xie replied casually. At this time, he fell in love with this butcher Zhu's meat stall again, and even introduced it to Butcher Zhu and everyone: "War is to be desperate, so it's better to fight." Only real fighters can do it. We will have screening and assessment in the future, but they are all based on physical fitness and courage. For the requirement of being a good family boy, you must want to enter the three armies of Huben, Habayashi, Qimen and the Northern Army. .However, I have really worked hard for the Han family, so there is no need to be too harsh on these things...Old Zhu, your business is not so good, how about I sell it for you for a while?"

Leng Shouguang looked at the scene where the crowd was getting more and more turbulent, and he was a little panicked. He knew that the master had a jumpy temper, but he didn't expect Liu Xie to be so crazy. , let’s go back to the palace earlier, there are still many big things to do at the court meeting tomorrow.”

Liu Xie looked back at the turbulent crowd and couldn't help smiling.He knew that Leng Shouguang was worried about his own safety. After all, Wang Yue, his number one bodyguard, went chasing and killing Han Long for thousands of miles.My second bodyguard, Hu Chi'er, followed Ma Chao and became a titan.

However, if Wang Yue and Hu Chi'er are tied together, can they be compared to his current No. [-] bodyguard?

Liu Xie glanced at the warrior behind him, and said with a smile, "Ziyi, do you think it's time for me to go back?"

Tai Shici is seven feet seven inches tall, with a beautiful beard and long arms. It is said that such arms are suitable for archery, and the so-called ape arms are good at archery.Before seeing him, Liu Xie always thought of Tai Shi Ci as the handsome and handsome southern character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but after meeting him, he realized that Tai Shi Ci looked like a northerner.

However, thinking about Tai Shici's birthplace, everything can be explained.After all, according to his previous life, Tai Shici was a real Shandong man—with such a mighty man by his side, why worry?
However, the most terrible thing about the big man in Shandong, Tai Shici also has it, is that he speaks too straight.Tai Shici glanced at Leng Shouguang with disgust, and said loudly, "Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. If Your Majesty doesn't even dare to stay in his own home for a long time, what will happen to the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Xie's face darkened, and he smiled helplessly.He knew that Tai Shici was angry in his heart, after all, Tai Shici had cheated him.Although he sent Luo Lin to Beihai to cure Tai Shici's mother's asthma with loquat, Tai Shici himself also wanted to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.But to put it this way, it's like a beautiful woman who falls in love with Gao Fushuai. Even though the beauty has money in her heart, Gao Fushuai opens the room without saying a word before calling the girl to come over. Isn't this a hooligan...

However, the same sentence, as long as I get your person first, as for getting your heart and unlocking new poses, hehe... that's a matter of the future.

In the past, it was Jin Yiwei who did not have this ability, but now with the hidden growth of the power of the Han Dynasty, the power gradually spread to all parts of Kyushu.It is conceivable that there will be countless beauties waiting for Liu Xie to visit one by one in the future.For example: Xu Chu, who is most suitable to be a bodyguard, cannot be preempted by Cao Cao; and Xu Shu, whose old mother was robbed by Cao Cao and suffering from depression, is more like Wolong and Fengchu who are still in stock at this time. , I have to cook it in one pot in the future...
