Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 383 Happiness Comes Too Suddenly
In the previous life, Liu Xie, who was forced to be an older bachelor, dreamed of having a warm little home when he dreamed back at midnight.There is a plain but burning desire for the life plan of starting a family and starting a business.

When he first came to the Three Kingdoms, he inevitably carried some disappointment about love and marriage in his previous life. Like most time travelers, he wanted to control famous generals and recruit ministers. Of course, marrying famous women is also essential.However, when he finally married the queen of the Han Dynasty, he gradually discovered that having a family really feels different.

After several battles of wits and courage in Hanoi, he unnaturally thought of Fushou every night, so he could sleep peacefully.Then, deal with the swords, swords and intrigues of the day with sufficient energy.With sustenance in his heart, he will have an inexplicable confidence in doing things.

At this moment, as soon as he entered the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Xie felt that something was different.But what exactly is different, but I can't tell for a while.After seeing the meals on the case table, Liu Xie suddenly felt a little bit.

The meals on the table are very rich and considerate. The staple foods include steamed millet, rice cakes, and vegetable porridge; dishes include chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc., as well as steaming vegetables; fruits include peaches, persimmons, Grapes, walnuts, etc.; drinks include plum juice, goat milk, honey water, wine... All of these are what Liu Xie likes to eat on weekdays.

The things in the oath hall have not changed, but because of Fushou, the atmosphere has changed.There is an extra layer of gentle and soft bright colors, which makes people feel warm.

Sure enough, he is a man with a woman to take care of him.

Liu Xie sat down with a big grin, while Fu Shou, who was dressed brightly, held the pot for Liu Xie with a smile.Earlier, Fu Shou was very reluctant to wear these cumbersome palace attires.But after a long time with Liu Xie, she found that Liu Xie liked to see herself in Han Dynasty costumes very much.So, this time, after preparing the meal, she carefully changed into this Hanfu, which was actually quite uncomfortable.

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman tolerates a person who pleases her.

As the cold wine fell into his throat, Liu Xie couldn't help admiring: "Life is so good, what more can I ask for?"

Fu Shou smiled sweetly, glanced at Liu Xie, but also couldn't help being overjoyed, and said: "Your Majesty sent troops to Hanoi this time, and it was a victory without bloodshed. You don't know, the people of Chang'an today , all because of this incident. Several newly opened restaurants have made a gimmick to celebrate your success because of this incident, so as to attract guests."

Liu Xie was taken aback. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were not many restaurants, and even fewer restaurants.Rich families like to eat in their own homes, poor people can’t afford it, rich business people are looked down upon, the country doesn’t pay attention to business, and there is a curfew at night. Various factors make it difficult for the catering industry to develop.Coupled with the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, many places reached the point of cannibalism.

But now I heard from Fu Shou that there is a new restaurant in Chang'an, which shows that the economy in Guanzhong has indeed gradually developed.It's just that the whole big man, perhaps only this area of ​​Guanzhong, can live a life of prosperity and pride as if he has escaped from the troubled times.

Still, it's a good sign.

Liu Xie proudly put a chopstick of hot and sour potato shreds into his mouth, Gu Pan proudly said: "That's natural, I don't want to see what kind of a good husband you married."

"Yes, the life of the concubine is good. The husband I marry can not only mount a horse to fight, but also dismount to manage the people. What is rare is that he is not lacking in romantic qualities besides giving advice..."

Liu Xie's face paled. After living with Fushou for so long, he is no longer a straight man who doesn't know women's thoughts.At this moment, from Fu Shou's seemingly indifferent but trying to hide his expression, as well as this slightly provocative tone, he sensed a hint of ominousness, and cautiously replied: "Why did Shouer say that?"

"The concubine has heard that in Hanoi County, His Majesty used clever tricks to pretend to be captured. At the banquet in the lobby, a generation of famous concubines sacrificed their lives to save her. Your Majesty became a beauty in anger, and the power of the Han Dynasty frightened the crowd..."

Hearing Fushou's tone of praise and resentment, Liu Xie covered his forehead with some annoyance: This matter is really Liu Xie shooting himself in the foot. Before returning from the First World War in Hanoi, he Let people compile the wars of the period into storytelling, and spread them in the streets and alleys.

There is no doubt that Liu Xie did this entirely for political reasons.But at the same time, he also knew that most of the people would not go there, nor would they bother to understand the purpose of this propaganda.In the boring life of the Han Dynasty, they would rather listen to stories full of gags such as decisive killings on the battlefield, kings and beautiful women going to danger together.

Because of this, when Liu Xie returned to Chang'an, he found that there were no fewer than dozens of versions of the story of the Battle of Hanoi in the Chang'an city.The most popular and popular version is the version of "The Son of Heaven and Diao Chan Have to Talk About Two or Three Things".

Seeing Fushou's pretty face that seemed sad but actually concealed anger, Liu Xie suddenly felt that the rich meal in front of him lost all taste.He smiled awkwardly, changed the subject and said: "Don't listen to outsiders talking nonsense, these are all nonsense. By the way, I'm not here these days, what interesting news can there be in Chang'an?"

"There are no interesting stories about Chang'an, but my concubine heard that in the old capital of Luoyang, there was a fanwai monk Kangmeng who translated the Buddhist scripture "Four Noble Truths" into Chinese in detail. His successive translators include "Prince Ben Qi Ruiying Sutra", There are many kinds such as "Xingqi Walking Sutra", "Vatican Net Sutra", "Shariputra Sutra of Lianyou Siqu", "Rewarding Blessing Sutra", etc. There are as many as ten thousand people who believe in it, and they recite silently for sutras..." Fu Shou seemed a little absent-minded Unaware that Liu Xie was talking about him, he followed Liu Xie's words and said the matter.

As the emperor's intuition, Liu Xie frowned at the first moment: Buddhism has begun to take root in the Han Dynasty since the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. grow.However, the spread of Buddhism was not smooth. Facing the highly developed Chinese civilization, foreign consciousness had to adjust its appearance according to the traditional Chinese ideology.

However, in the specific period of great chaos, the teaching of "self-control and self-control" in Buddhism is still very attractive to the people of the Han Dynasty in troubled times.When Fu Shou said this to Liu Xie, his tone was unnatural and somewhat worried.After all, the fate of the Yellow Turban Uprising was not yet cold, and the empress of the Han Dynasty was naturally afraid that Buddhism would become the second sect to cause trouble in the world.

However, Liu Xie, who had traveled from the previous life, frowned and then felt relieved.Because he knows that Buddhism cannot cause any storms on the soil of Chinese civilization.

Foreigners say that Chinese people have no faith, but in Liu Xie's view, it is a good thing.This just proves that Chinese people are very smart and tolerant. We believe in Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc. Once we find that these beliefs cannot bring us actual benefits, we will only regard them as a kind of practice or interest instead of wallow in it.

Facing such a utilitarian Chinese civilization, after sacrificing some of Buddhism’s ideas in China, only the Hongtong ideal of “self-sufficiency and humanness” remains.This point is actually beneficial to the people of the Han Dynasty.Even in the period of "destruction of Buddhism" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the fundamental contradiction was not in Buddhist teachings, but in the fact that the privilege of monks not to pay taxes or participate in corvee shaken the foundation of feudal rule.

As long as Buddhist monks are not given such privileges, Buddhism is allowed to develop on its own with an attitude of neither advocating nor preventing it.Liu Xie felt that Luoyang's translating and believing in Buddhism would disappear invisibly.

Sure enough, he is a happy man with a woman. What his woman thinks about is still the mess at home.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a deep apology in his heart. He gently took Fushou's hand and sighed: "Shouer, I have really suffered for you. I think you were also a strange woman with a heart higher than the sky. You can marry If I give it to the empress, I can only guard the palace like three aunts and six wives to listen to news from the outside world..."

It was fine if Liu Xie didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Fu Shou immediately became emotional: "Yes, from outsiders' point of view, the concubine is a majestic empress of the Han Dynasty, and there is no empress dowager in charge of her, and the husband is even more unique. Zhonglongfeng is supposed to be the luckiest woman in the world. But they don't know that in such a huge palace, if you are not around, the concubines will become birds in cages."

Liu Xie remained silent, and couldn't help hugging Fushou even tighter.Fu Shou leaned lightly on Liu Xie's shoulder, and said as if talking to himself: "Your Majesty, the concubine is really depressed in this palace, and there is no one to chat with. Back then you rejected Dong Cheng's daughter as a Regarding the matter of the concubine, some people in the court have said that the concubine is not virtuous and jealous. After thinking about it, the concubine still thinks that it is better for you to have another concubine... Sister Yan is pretty good in every aspect, but it is a pity that she There was a marriage contract..."

Liu Xie couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and looked at his queen overjoyed: This happiness came too suddenly, right?
