Chapter 167 What is the real Chang'an like? (Thanks to the leader of the seventh brother!)
"Brother."
Looking at Liu Chang sitting in front of him, Liu Ying was a little surprised, "What happened again?"
"I heard that the governor of Hanoi submitted a letter requesting that Hanoi be given the right to privately mint currency for several years. Is this true?"
"Yes, Hanoi suffered from floods last year and the losses were considerable...but how did you know about this?"
Liu Chang's face darkened and he asked: "Brother, seeing the suffering of the people in Hanoi today, allowed the people in Hanoi to mint money privately. What will you do if the governor of Hedong County writes a letter tomorrow?"
"When the time comes, my brother will show his kindness and allow all places to mint money privately. Then won't Prime Minister Cao's ban be like fart?"
Liu Ying lowered her head and said: "The people in Hanoi are suffering... I can't just ignore them."
"Is this the only way to save the people of Hanoi?"
"Second Brother has so many ministers under his command, but no one is capable? If this is the case, what do you want these ministers to do? I will chop them up right now!" Liu Chang stood up suddenly, Liu Ying was startled, and hurriedly grabbed him.
, "Eldest brother, I was confused for a moment, so I gave an order not to let them mint money privately, and summoned the ministers to discuss a better way to relieve the disaster."
Liu Chang looked at Liu Ying and wanted to scold him, but couldn't.
"Brother, come with me for a walk... I'll set off tomorrow. I won't go far. I'll just visit various counties around Chang'an. How about that?"
"Eldest brother...if I go out, I'm afraid officials from all over the country will send people to greet me, which will waste people's energy."
"It's okay. After you leave the palace, you will be called Liu Er, and you will be the personal attendant of the King of Tang. After you leave the city, you will be called Lu Chan, and I will be called Lu Lu!"
Liu Ying was still a little puzzled. Liu Chang said: "At least you have to see the world first, and then you know how to govern it? How long have you not visited various places since you came to the throne?"
"Hmm...Okay, I will accompany you tomorrow."
If the emperor wants to go out secretly, Liu Chang must be prepared. There is no need to worry about things in the palace. After all, his mother is watching. There is no need to worry about domestic affairs. Cao Shen is here to watch. What Liu Chang worries about is the emperor's.
For safety issues, first of all, we must bring an imperial doctor, and then a bodyguard... In fact, Liu Chang really wanted Fan Kuai to come with him.
When the time comes, if something doesn't sit well with him, he will give the order and Fan Kuai will go up and smash that person into pieces. He will also be able to experience how his father felt.
However, Fan Kuai is their elder after all, a majestic Han general and a founding hero of the country, so using him as a bodyguard... I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate.
In fact, Gai Gong can do it, but the weather is freezing. At Gai Gong's age, if he goes out rashly, it will be a big problem if he doesn't come back.
In the end, they could only let Ji Bu and Luan Bu accompany them. Although Ji Bu was a treacherous minister, he was still very powerful. He killed the Sheren group including the King of Tang instantly with one move. With him around, it was safer.
of.
When Liu Chang returned to Jiaofang Hall, Fan Qing had not left yet and was acting coquettishly for Empress Lu.
Liu Chang snorted coldly, ignored the two men, and walked into the inner room.
Empress Lu hugged little Fan Qing and asked with a smile: "Qing, what do you think she looks like?"
"They are not bad, they just lack discipline."
"Oh? You mean I didn't discipline him well."
"No! My aunt loves him too much and can't bear to discipline him. Don't worry, aunt, I will personally discipline him from now on! I promise to make him obedient!"
"Hahaha~~~"
Queen Lu burst out laughing. This was the first time that Queen Lu laughed so happily. She asked, "What if he disobeys me?"
"If he doesn't obey, I can come to my aunt."
.......
Early the next morning, Liu Chang got up early, finished his meal quickly, and prepared to take his second brother out.
Empress Lu suddenly asked: "Why don't you take your Fan Qing with you?"
Liu Chang jumped up as if he was electrocuted and shouted angrily: "Mom!!"
Empress Lu smiled and lowered her head to look at the bamboo slips. Liu Chang left the Jiaofang Hall angrily.
Liu Ying had already made preparations and was waiting for Liu Chang to come. When Liu Chang saw his appearance, he immediately shook his head and said, "You are dressed like this, why don't you just hang the national jade seal directly around your neck?"
Liu Ying looked down at her clothes and hurriedly entered the palace again. After a while, he changed his clothes and went out again.
Liu Chang waved his hand proudly, and Liu Ying followed him.
The two of them walked out of the side door one after the other. As soon as they walked out of the palace, Luan Bu rushed over and shouted in the direction of the main entrance: "The king is running from the side door! Come here quickly!"
Liu Chang's face turned dark. He just signaled the person behind him. Luan Bu looked at it and was so frightened that he immediately leaned over to salute. Liu Chang shouted: "No need to salute. This is my personal attendant. I call him Liu Er."
.”
"Liu Er, this is my lover Luan Bu!"
Luan Bu was still smarter. Hearing this, he stood up hurriedly and nodded towards the emperor. Liu Ying looked at them curiously. Soon, Ji Bu ran over panting, "I just told you, Your Majesty, today
You have to come out from the side door early in the morning, and you haven’t just..."
While Ji Bu was talking, he suddenly saw Liu Ying behind Liu Chang. He was also startled and hurriedly wanted to bow to see him. Luan Bu pulled him up and whispered a few words, but Ji Bu did not bow.
"Okay, let's take Liu Er out for a walk today."
Ji Bu and Luan Bu no longer dared to talk nonsense. They just stood by the emperor's side. The three of them followed Liu Chang. Liu Chang walked proudly in Chang'an. There was white snow everywhere. However, the weather was better than before.
It is still a lot warmer, and you can often see woodcutters passing by, and smoke is rising from every house. There is a unique charm on such a pure white road.
The patrolling soldiers passed by and looked directly at King Tang, but Liu Chang was not afraid at all and looked at them proudly.
Liu Chang took Liu Ying to many places in Chang'an. Occasionally, he could see open restaurants with people immersed in eating. Occasionally, he could also see a few young scholars talking and laughing. People were not familiar with each other.
It was a lot, but Liu Ying felt very relaxed. He looked at it all curiously.
He rarely went out before, and even more so after he ascended the throne. It was the first time in history that he went out as a personal follower.
Liu Chang and his people were eating in a restaurant. When the officials here saw Liu Chang, they bent down and came to greet him with a smile. Obviously, they all knew the King of Tang. The King of Tang waved his little hand and said: "Luan Bu
, Ji Bu, you go up with me to eat...Liu Er, you eat here!"
Liu Ying sat here curiously. After Liu Changdu left, he looked at the clerk sitting not far away and asked: "How come so many people come in winter?"
"Oh, no, we have no time this year... Do you want to add mallow? It's very cheap, just add six dollars."
"Okay, add it."
"I haven't been to Chang'an for a long time. When I came back this time, I felt that the changes were quite big."
"Hey, what's changed...this day...don't you know, starting from this year, in our Chang'an, if a woman is not married by the age of fifteen, she will be levied five times the amount of the tax! I
There are three daughters in the family... I really don’t know what to do... They said it would be easy, get married, get married, but how can it be so easy to start a family? "
"My salary has been reduced again and again, saying that we need to be diligent and frugal...how come the diligence and frugality is on us? Guest, how about adding a turnip? It's also very cheap...as long as..."
"Add, add, add everything."
"okay!"
The clerk was very happy. He smiled and said, "But fortunately, starting from this year, we can get rewards for selling more meals... It's much better than before."
"What else do you have? Add it all."
The clerk shook his head, "Guest... you will be punished if you don't finish your meal... This is enough for you."
After a long time, Liu Chang walked down in a swaggering manner. Luan Bu gave the money, and Liu Chang waved his hand, "Liu Er, let's go!"
Liu Ying hurriedly got up and was about to go out, but suddenly stopped again. He pulled the clerk aside and took out a lot of money from his sleeves. The more he took out, the more he took out. In the shocked eyes of the clerk, Liu Ying said,
He said helplessly: "This is all I have. You take it first. It should be enough for you to repay your three daughters for three or four years. Don't worry, it will be better in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for the clerk to say anything.
The clerk looked at the money in front of him and watched Liu Ying go out blankly. When he rushed out to thank his benefactor, the benefactor had already disappeared without a trace.
"Eldest brother...I know why you brought me out...Oh, it turns out that after just walking around like this, you can also know the specific effects of many policies..."
"Ah? What's the effect? I'm just hungry and want to have a meal. Next, brother, look, this is Chang'an in your eyes, right?"
"Next, I'll take you to see the real Chang'an, Luanbu, get a car, and we'll go to the old place on the outskirts of the east of the city."
Luan Bu was shocked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty...this..."
"Go and prepare. Let's show Liu Er what Chang'an is and what a wise minister is."
ps: Ah, my liver hurts when I sit down, I really can’t stand it... It can only be a small chapter, not two in one.
Unexpectedly, I borrowed money from Qiyue every day and hurt him in various ways in the book, but he actually returned me the alliance leader without saying anything. When my seventh brother opens the book, I will definitely give him gold...
Baiyin...meng...well, I will definitely order all of them and strongly support him!!
