Chapter 231: A companion (1)

Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou king.

The prosperous king capital of the past had already turned into ashes decades ago.

Luoyang today is no longer Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but Luoyang in the Qin Dynasty. The tall and majestic blue-gray rammed earth city wall exudes an inexplicable desolate and majestic atmosphere in the sunshine. The Canglong Crown Flying on the city gate tower seems to tell the majesty of Luoyang in the past.

Perhaps because of the arrival of the emperor for thousands of years, the feeling that Luoyang City gave Liu Kan was completely different from the last time.

If the Luoyang he saw last time was just a bustling and noisy city, then this time, Luoyang exudes a royal spirit.

For some reason, from the moment he entered Luoyang City, Liu Kan's mood was inexplicably heavy.

Li You arranged him in the inn, and then he was busy receiving the outposts of Emperor Shi Huang. The Emperor Shi Huang would arrive at noon and stayed in Gucheng last night, but the vanguard had already arrived in Luoyang. As the governor of Sanchuan County and the supervisor of Luoyang, Li You had to cheer up and welcome the arrival of the king. So he didn't care about greeting Liu Kan and his group.

At the time of Mao, Liu Kan received a notice to welcome the Luoshui River outside Luoyang City.

Not only Liu Kan, but also all Luoyang officials and Luoyang subjects were waiting by the Luoshui River.

Liu Kan took Liu Xin and stood by the Luoshui River with his hands.

It is already winter and the weather is very cold. The rolling Luo River has frozen, and from time to time, river water is rolling with ice and whizzing by.

Two thousand years later...

The Yellow River is dry and the Luo River is in ruins.

Liu Kan visited this place in his previous life.

At that time, the Luo River had become an intermittent stream, and there was still half the majestic spirit I saw today?

People often say that the Yellow River is the mother river of China. As a tributary of the Yellow River, the Luo River has the majestic spirit of the river flowing eastward.

Only when Liu Kan looked at the river in front of him could he feel the spirit that the Chinese nation should have.

"Second uncle, second uncle!"

Liu Xin called Liu Kan a few times in a muffled voice.

I woke up from my thoughts, and I could only hear the sound of mountains and tsunamis.

Before we knew it, it was noon. On the official road in the distance, there was a flying Canglong Banner, but it was the First Emperor's carriage. It arrived.

Officials of all sizes and people of Luoyang knelt down one after another.

Liu Kan took Liu Xin and knelt on the riverside, crawling and hanging his head.

Although I hate this rule quite a bit, Liu Kan really dares not be innovative and stand there when she follows the local customs.

The mighty trumpet sound echoes in the sky.

A group of cars drove past Luoshui, and as soon as a chariot was caught, a man in a dragon robe suddenly stopped.

In an instant, the sound of the mountain calling for long live was even more magnificent, which caused Luoshui to breathe.

Liu Kan looked at it and couldn't help but take a breath.

I think the man standing on the shaft of the car is the Emperor of Eternal Eternal. It’s just that the distance is a bit far, which makes Liu Kan a little confused.

The reason why I was surprised was because of the courage of the First Emperor.

Who doesn't know that the remnants of the six kingdoms were determined to kill him, but he still dared to appear alone in the sight of everyone under such circumstances. It was arrogant, or in other words, a kind of emperor's pride! From this moment on, the First Emperor seemed to be challenging those with ulterior motives: I, right here... If you have the ability, come and do it, I, wait for you here.

Liu Kan couldn't help but exclaim in secret: It's a real hero!

The welcome celebration lasted for a cup of tea, and the car drove slowly into Luoyang City.

As an official summoned, Liu Kan was accompanied by Li Youjia at the end of the car. As early as the first time Emperor Shiniang visited the east, Luoyang City began to build a palace. It was built on the former site of the Eastern Zhou royal capital. The scale was much smaller than that of Xianyang Palace, but in other aspects, it was completely built according to the layout of Xianyang Palace. At this time, the closed palace gate was wide open.

"Uncle Second, I'm hungry!"

Standing outside the palace gate, Liu Xin pulled Liu Kan's sleeve and complained in a low voice.

No wonder, from morning to now, it can be said that water and rice have not entered. After Emperor First Emperor entered the Luoyang Palace, in addition to the officials who came from Xianyang to enter the palace with the First Emperor, there were dozens of officials outside the palace gate waiting for the summons of Emperor First Emperor. They were both civil and military, and they all looked solemn and stood with their hands down. Looking at the seals on these officials, Liu Kan could only smile bitterly, because his official position was probably the smallest.

In other words, if the First Emperor wanted to summon him, he would probably be ranked last.

Of course, it may not be summoned.

After all, Emperor First Emperor would stay in Luoyang for ten days. Within these ten days, maybe when will he think of someone like Liu Kan?

But before the First Emperor issued an edict to let them disperse, Liu Kan could only wait here.

"Believe, be patient!"

Liu Kan patted Liu Xin gently, "When it's over, I'll leave. Second uncle will take you to eat Luoyang's delicacies. Eat whatever you want!"

Liu Xin nodded obediently and stopped talking.

But Liu Kan knew that this kid was afraid that he would be really hungry. Otherwise, with Liu Xin's temperament, he would never speak until he couldn't stand it. I just hope that Emperor First Emperor would issue an edict to cessation soon... Otherwise, even Liu Kan himself would feel hungry and could not hold it.

Looking at the officials standing with their hands down, Liu Kan couldn't help but secretly admired them.

They were like Terracotta Warriors and horses, motionless. As an official, it seems that they have to learn, and this kind of kung fu is not easy to practice.

Liu Kan was thinking a lot.

Time passed without realizing it.

The officials outside the palace gate were half missing... but the sky gradually darkened.

At this moment, the palace gate opened wide and an eunuch in black walked out of the palace.

He is about 40 years old, tall and strong. He has slender eyes and straight facial features, which is a handsome talent.

But the chin is bare and there is less masculinity on the body.

Standing outside the palace gate, the eunuch shouted sharply: "Your Majesty has an order to decree Liu Kan, the chief commander of Sishui, to meet him!"

Liu Kan was shocked. Although he was mentally prepared, he never expected that the First Emperor would summon him on the first day he arrived in Luoyang. No wonder, there were more than a dozen Qin officials outside the palace gate, and their ranks seemed to be higher than Liu Kan.

However, Liu Kan did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried forward and said respectfully: "My minister, Liu Kan, accept the order!"

"You are Liu Kan?"

The eunuch looked at Liu Kan up and down, and asked a sarcastic question. I guess it wasn't intentional... The eunuch always speaks less masculine beauty. It sounds like others, and Liu Kan is no exception.

I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why most people hate eunuchs.

At least in Liu Kan's opinion, the tone of the eunuch was not very sensible. He felt a little unhappy, but he still seemed very respectful in his words and intervened and said, "The lower-level minister is Liu Kan."

"Let's go in with the She family, Your Majesty is waiting to see you."

The eunuch said in a sinister voice, then turned around and walked in.

Liu Kan quickly spoke, "This one..."

When the words were about, Liu Kan couldn't speak. He was called "father-in-law". It seemed that there was no such name in this year. But it was not called "father-in-law", and Liu Kan didn't know how to call the other party. Be careful about the topic of this title. The eunuch himself is an incomplete man, and he would inevitably have twists in his heart. If he offended the other party because of a title, it would be worth it.

Fortunately, the eunuch was smart and seemed to know Liu Kan's difficulties.

He smiled slightly, "Zhao Gao, the doctor of the Che Mansion of Sa's family, can Liu Duwei call me the doctor of Zhao!"

Ahhhh... I'm still calling you Dr. Zhao!

Slowly, Zhao Gao?

Liu Kan's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but look at the eunuch carefully. Is he Zhao Gao? The Zhao Gao who pointed to a deer as a horse?

Although it was the first time I saw this eunuch who was notorious in later generations, Liu Kan had to be a little careful.

In terms of rank, Zhao Gao's official position is the first level than Liu Kan.

But in terms of status, Liu Kan couldn't catch up with this guy who was in trouble with the country and the people.

He hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Dr. Zhao, can you let your subordinates talk to your subordinates? You also know that those subordinates are mostly rough people and have never seen too much of the world."

Zhao Gao was very helpful to Liu Kan's respectful attitude.

"Then hurry up, don't let Your Majesty wait."

In this way, Liu Kan walked to Liu Xin with the jealous eyes of many officials, whispered a few words, and asked Liu Xin to wait here.

Then, he followed Zhao Gao into Luoyang Palace.

Along the way, the two had nothing to talk to. Liu Kan was behind, looking at Zhao Gao who was walking as fast as he was in front of him, and felt a little weird. The eunuchs in later TV series walked with their legs and small steps, looking so awkward and awkward. But Zhao Gao seemed to subvert Liu Kan's perception of eunuchs. He walked very quickly, strided with big steps, and even took one step, leading to two steps against some people.

Moreover, from Zhao Gao's frequent steps, Liu Kan saw that he was also a man with excellent martial arts skills.

Is Zhao Gao's martial arts very good?

Why should such a person be a eunuch?

With such doubts, the two came to the front of the hall.

The main hall of Luoyang Palace is magnificent, not far behind that of Xianyang Palace. Zhao Gao stopped and signaled Liu Kan not to leave again.

"Emperor Liu, let's go here to order the order."

After saying that, Zhao Gao didn't look back, followed the steps and walked vigorously, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the brightly lit Golden Palace.

Standing under the steps, Liu Kan could hear the faint sound coming from the hall.

It seems like the sound of silk and bamboo, and the tempting smell of food comes...
