Today, Chang'an is no longer the dead city of the past. Over the years, Chang'an has become increasingly large in scale. On the part where Chang'an has not yet built a city wall, the building complex stretched out and quickly expanded. The new city of Chang'an has become the most prosperous city in the world.
People from all over the world came here with different purposes. There were more than 4,000 soldiers responsible for the inspection, and they had to be rotated, otherwise they would not be able to do a good job in the investigation. There were too many people coming. From the barbarians who spoke Wuyu to the Hu people who spoke Yuezhiyu, Chang'an now cannot produce any snow. People come and go, and they don't give any chance to accumulate snow at all.
However, the buildings that popped out from inside and outside the city seemed to be beautiful in the eyes of some people, as if several sarcoma had grown in Chang'an City. The sarcoma was still growing larger, and the increase in the number of settlers and the number of people coming and goings put huge pressure on the city.
During the Qin Dynasty, no city had ever reached the scale of Chang'an, mainly because Qin did not allow people to run around, farm with peace of mind, and prepare for war. It was not because of war or legitimate reasons that they left their registered residence. This was a serious crime.
The soldiers in thick winter clothes exhaled thick fog, and their faces were red from the cold. At this time, most of the merchants who had to enter and leave the city were merchants. When Liu Bang came to power, he inherited the Qin system, suppressed merchants with all his might, and imposed many restrictions on them, and used expensive commercial taxes to subsidize the development of agriculture. By the time of Empress Lu, Empress Lu began to relax restrictions on merchants and began to develop the Han economy.
The main reason is that the famine during the Empress Lü period was no longer as severe as when Emperor Gao was. After the people had enough food, they naturally needed other goods.
Many people criticized the serious issue of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce during the Qin and Han dynasties, believing that this system is not good for China's future. This is because they have never been hungry and can eat every meal.
The soldiers checked these past merchants as usual, and suddenly, a noise came from afar.
Several soldiers frowned and cursed: "Don't make noise!"
Seeing the merchants in the distance avoiding him, a group of knights rushed towards the place with no intention of reducing the speed. The soldiers were furious and immediately picked up their weapons and stepped forward to stop them. As soon as they took a step, the team led the side to grab him, hid behind him, and ordered the city gate to open and lead everyone to salute. The group of knights rushed over, but stopped when they passed by them.
It was an extremely magical white horse, tall and strong, and on the back was a young man with a tough appearance and a scary figure. The young man was wearing the most gorgeous clothes and dressed up in many clothes, with jade belts, embroidered bags, swords, and gold and silver as threads on his clothes, woven with two fierce tigers, and even the shoes under his feet were embroidered with jade, which was so gorgeous that he could anger the people of Wu.
At this moment, the young man stared at the young soldier behind the team leader and asked unhappily: "Why don't you treat him?"
The soldier was stunned and hurriedly saluted.
The team leader smiled and said, "King, this person comes from the south. He is not polite. Now it is very cold. Their southerners are so cold that their legs and feet are stiff. For the first time, they saw the king's power as powerful as he was shocked and unable to move for a while. Please forgive me!"
Liu Chang nodded and rushed into the city. Behind him, there were a few embroidered clothes. At this moment, he was all lowering his head, not as tall as he usually looked.
After seeing them in, the soldier was so scared that his face turned pale, "Is this the king? Have I made a big mistake?"
The team rate looks very calm, "No problem, don't be afraid. The king often goes out, and I know him too. The king is still easy to talk to, just a good show... If you meet him again next time, just say something good."
The talking king broke into the city and rode his horse, but no one dared to stop him or chase him.
After rushing to the palace all the way, Liu Chang jumped off his horse. The soldiers in front of the palace were shocked. They did not expect that the king would come so quickly. Liu Chang hurriedly broke into the palace. Along the way, he saw his close servants in great panic. He hurriedly paid a visit and Liu Chang walked straight to Xuanshi Hall.
When he quickly walked into the Xuanshi Hall, he happened to hear Liu Ying's roar.
Liu Ying, who has always been a good temper, is furious at this moment. He can hear his shouts from afar.
"I'm going out! Whose order did you follow?!"
"How dare you do this? How dare you do this!!"
"I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty!!"
Liu Ying jumped straight into his feet in anger, and around him there were more than a dozen soldiers. These people surrounded Liu Ying and kept walking. Liu Ying was about to scold him, but when he saw Liu Chang walking in, his eyes lit up and shouted: "Brother, save me!!"
The power of this sound was obviously higher than the previous sentence. When the soldiers who were still surrounding him heard this sentence, they hurriedly retreated and stood on both sides, not daring to approach Liu Ying anymore.
Liu Chang looked at these soldiers coldly, and Liu Ying quickly rushed to his side, holding his hand tightly, his eyes full of grief and anger.
"Brother! They actually said I was treason!!!"
"I am imprisoned here, and I am not allowed to take a step!!"
Liu Ying seemed to have found the backbone and told her experiences during this period of time in grievance. Liu Chang had a stern face and listened carefully to his brother's narrative. His face became increasingly unkind. The soldiers were a little scared at this moment. Liu Chang slowly rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward. Liu Ying hurriedly stopped him, "These soldiers are just following their orders and should not be beaten!"
"Whose order?"
"The king is the order of the doctor General Chai."
"Get out! Let Zhou Chang, Zhang Buyi, Zhao Ping, Chen Ping, Chai Wu, Liu Zhang and others come quickly!"
The soldiers fled here immediately. Liu Ying had a lot of words to talk to Liu Chang. He himself didn't know what was going on. He just woke up and was taken here by the soldiers and imprisoned. Liu Ying asked to see the ministers several times, but was stopped, saying that there were traitors in the city rebellion. Liu Ying was anxious and worried again. Later, Chai Wu came once and told him that the matter in the city was over, but for safety reasons, Your Majesty should not go out.
Listening to his second brother's complaint, Liu Chang also frowned.
Soon, the ministers appeared in the Xuanshi Hall. They all looked very serious, and so was Zhang Buyi. Even after seeing Chang Liu, he did not rush to flatter him.
"Chai Wu, who gave you the courage to imprison my brother?"
Liu Chang's tone was very unkind, but Chai Wu was still calm, "The king is not imprisoning, but just ordering to protect His Majesty. There are traitors in the city who want to murder His Majesty."
Zhou Chang couldn't wait to say, "King, you can't blame General Chai for this matter, it was my order."
"The traitor is not only in Chang'an City, but also in this palace, but also in the traitor's inner support!"
Zhou Chang said angrily, Liu Chang was stunned and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
As for Liu Ying, he looked at Zhou Chang blankly, "How could there be an insider in the palace?"
Zhou Chang had a stern face and didn't even look at Liu Ying, obviously he was very dissatisfied with him.
Liu Chang rubbed his forehead, "Speak slowly, and say in detail."
Zhou Chang looked at Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping understood the intention, and then said, "King, that's it."
"Horse Ren Zhang Yue hid ten iron merchants who killed officials and were hailed by his slaves, but he found it in time, and Xiuyi did not find any evidence. Zhu Ahou Gao Cheng committed an usurpation and was arrested by the Tingwei and wanted to get rid of the country. Ding Tong, the Marquis of Xuanqu, killed someone after drinking, and was also hailed by... Marquis of Shenyang, said that he would be removed from his title because he did not pay the qi on time...."
"The four people colluded together and gathered the meritorious clans who had been expelled from the country, migrated, and seized salt and iron over the years, intending to rebel... Luan said that he met His Majesty's close servant Hong Ru in private, bewitched him, and agreed with him to open the palace, take Your Majesty hostage, and carry out rebellion."
"Six doctors in the palace were bought by Hongru and decided to help him. Zhang Yue served in the Southern Army, so he privately used His Majesty's edict to deceive the Southern Army and attacked the palace. Ding Tong led a hundred retainers and a hundred guests, wearing armor and crossbows, and wanted to approach the ministers in the name of apologizing for guilt, and wanted to do something wrong... Gao Cheng asked Gao Xun, who was the captain of the city gate, to try to control the entire Chang'an City..."
The more Liu Chang heard, the worse his face became.
How dare they? Take Chen Ping, Han Xin, Chai Wu, and Zhou Chang as a vegetarian?
The next thing was clear. Zhang Yue led the Southern Army to rebellion, but was instantly defeated by Chai Wu and captured alive. Ding Tong didn't even see the ministers, and was captured by Wang Tianqi and led people. Gao Cheng was captured by Gao Xun and made contributions. Luan said that he was killed by Zhang Busi. After Hongru made an agreement with the doctors, he waited for Chai Wu before he waited for Zhang Yue.
Although Chang Liu's decrees did not bother the people, he kept making contributions to the great masters of Emperor Gao and was very strict with these marquis. In their opinion, what happened to us, when we followed Emperor Gao to conquer the world, what happened to kill a few people? What happened to shelter a few criminals? What happened to sell some salt and iron? Why did we withdraw our title?
They could easily get a large number of armor and crossbows, even transport things to Chang'an easily, and deploy them well, and contact officials from all over the country. It can be seen that not only them, but in this great man, there were too many people who wanted to return to Liu Ying's era.
How wonderful it was that era. The nobles did whatever they wanted. Even if they were captured by Cao Shen, the emperor could take the initiative to plead for them.
They didn't want to hurt Liu Ying, nor did they want to become kings, but they really wanted to support Liu Ying, clear the king's side! Kill the rebel Liu Chang.
As an old thief, Liu Chang expressed his contempt for this rebellion plan.
His basic structure is not in Chang'an at all, so what's the use of taking Chang'an down? The army of the Tang Kingdom set off in the morning and arrived in the evening. Moreover, the vassal states in the world... The King of Yan was loyal to him, Ji Bu was in Qi, Jia Yi was in Zhao, Luan Bu was in Hexi, Zhang Cang was in Liang, which is the south, Chu, Wu, Changsha, and Nanyue. Will the countries such as Chang'an help or Liu Chang??
Unlike the tense atmosphere inside and outside the palace, the Houde Hall was extremely calm. Cao Shu was chatting with Fan Qing, coaxing Liu Bo in her arms.
When they saw Liu Chang appear suddenly, they were all a little surprised. Fan Qing jumped up excitedly, and the child was almost thrown out. Cao Shu hurriedly took the child, but Fan Qing had already rushed into Liu Chang's arms, "Are you back? Why don't you send someone to say it? I haven't dressed up yet!"
Cao Shu looked at Liu Bo in her arms helplessly. Liu Bo was also frightened. He widened his eyes and looked at Cao Shu. The two of them had big eyes and small eyes.
"Oh, be erect... Look at your mother, I don't want you when I see her beloved!"
Fan Qing then let go of Liu Chang, lowered his head and smiled foolishly.
Liu Chang walked to Cao Shu and took the child. The little boy had gained a lot of weight again, as if he was developing in the direction of the fifth brother. Liu Chang couldn't help but shook his head, "This is not OK, how old he is... I guess my mother can't even hold him!"
"Where is my mother? Where is my mother?"
Fan Qing seemed to remember them at this moment and asked hurriedly. Liu Changbian gave her a blank look, "It's all in Liang State. It's snowy and ice, so you can't let them set off in the wind and snow, right?"
The family sat down, and Cao Shu looked at Liu Chang who was coaxing the child with a smile.
"This son's figure is very similar to a father. He looks a bit like a Marquis Wuyang."
"Wuyang Wuhou is the number one hero in my great man, and there is nothing wrong with him like him!"
This Wu is Fan Hui's posthumous title, and it's quite suitable.
Several people talked about An again. Liu Chang naturally beat Liu An in a spirit of adding fuel to the fire. Anger popped up in Cao Shu's eyes and gritted her teeth. Liu Chang nodded with satisfaction. If you instigate my mother to beat me, then I can instigate your mother to beat you. This is the effect you want!
"Master, has Your Majesty rebelled?"
Fan Qing asked timidly.
"Fuck, can there be a rebellious emperor in this world?"
"Be careful when speaking in front of the child! The child will learn!"
Cao Shu scolded unhappily, and Liu Chang curled his lips, undeniable. This guy looks stupid. Can he still learn from me?
Fan Qing asked curiously again: "Who is the rebellion?"
"What do you ask so much? Do you want to accumulate some experience?"
"I'm curious, you don't know, even Zhang Yan was injured. Princess Lu Yuan wanted to visit him, but couldn't enter the palace. She even had a big fight with Chai Wu..."
Liu Chang was very confused, "Where did you know this news?"
"I heard it when I was chatting with His Majesty's concubines."
"Okay, okay, you take Ere back to rest! I have something to say to your elder sister!"
Fan Qing stood up obediently, took the child, and was about to go out. Suddenly he remembered something, came to Cao Shu's side, and whispered a few words. Cao Shu's face suddenly turned red and she cursed: "What are you talking nonsense! Go out quickly!"
Fan Qing left with a smile.
Liu Chang sat next to Cao Shu, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Has she participated?"
Cao Shu's face suddenly became solemn, and she shook her head.
"I have no idea."
"Just tell me whether she has participated."
"When the rebellion broke out outside the palace, she was quarreling with me. When she heard the news, she was also shocked... probably not involved."
"That's good!"
"King, she is my own sister. Don't you suspect that I favor her?"
"I trust you!"
"By the way, what did Fan Qing say just now?"
"It's just some nonsense that is proclaiming lust in the daytime."
"Hahaha, what did she treat me as? I am not a tyrant..."
Liu Chang cursed Fan Qing while taking off his clothes.
