It has been thousands of years since the dawn of time in the mountains. The state machinery of the Han Dynasty did not stop running because the two screws Su Ren and Gongsun Ao were lost. It even seemed to some people to be running more smoothly. The emperor's decrees one after another
It was carried out smoothly, and the response from the bottom was reported as quickly as possible. At this time, we can see the benefits brought by Su Ren's advocacy of overhauling officialdom. Even a trip from distant Lingnan only takes one month.
, this allows Liu Che to make the best judgment on every corner of his country.
Therefore, Liu Che was very busy. Suddenly he found that there were endless memorials and countless things. No matter how hard he tried, he would feel unable to do what he wanted at some point. It was not that Liu Che didn't trust anyone, but that he was unwilling to put everything into his hands.
All rights are given to others. He is the king of the world and the greatest person on this planet. No matter who he is, he should crawl at his feet and use the humblest, most ignorant and least existential voice to let himself be this person.
The high-ranking king answered their questions and guided them in the direction. But Liu Che didn't know where they were in some directions.
Huo Guang's suggestion to Liu Che was to study. Liu Che accepted it humbly, and then became even busier. Staying up at night almost became the norm, and Liu Che started taking golden elixirs again. To outsiders, it seemed that Liu Che became more energetic and energetic.
All around. But anyone who knows a little bit about medical knowledge will understand that a person in his fifties should not be flushed all day long and have such great energy in doing work.
Gongsun He was such a person. Every time he saw the emperor, the look of sadness on his face would increase. He also cautiously, insidiously, and tactfully asked the emperor to pay attention to the dragon body, but was unexpectedly scolded by Liu Che.
It was a bloody mess. Because Gongsun He also made a bad suggestion. He hoped that the prince could supervise the country to reduce the emperor's burden. Gongsun He cried out that he was wronged. He had never looked out for the prince, but did not want the emperor to do so.
This pushes oneself to a dead end.
Gongsun He wanted to find someone to discuss with him, and his first choice was Su Ren. Unfortunately, Su Ren and Gongsun Ao went hunting in the mountains. Later he wanted to find Wei Qing, but saw that Wei Qing's condition did not seem to be very good, so he held back. At this time Gongsun He
He Cai discovered that such a big man had no one who could advise the emperor. Even though he was already the head of hundreds of officials and the most respected prime minister, his face turned red and he felt ashamed when he was scolded by his majesty, let alone others.
The housekeeper outside the door hurried in and saluted hastily: "Master Marquis, you are back! You are back!"
"Oh, quickly prepare your horses and leave the city!"
The housekeeper didn't move, and said again: "I'm back, but that housekeeper Liu said that none of their marquises have seen anyone, so why not thank guests behind closed doors."
"Others can not see me, but how can he not see me?"
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "Butler Liu also said that their marquis specifically asked you not to see him."
"Nonsense! Go and prepare your horse quickly. I don't believe anyone can stop me. Go quickly."
Gongsun He dressed lightly and hurriedly led his men to the Louguantai. He had been sending people to wait outside the door of Su's house. He wanted to have a good talk with Su Ren and it had nothing to do with the emperor. Because he could no longer understand the imperial court.
Before he was awarded the title of prime minister, Su Ren half-jokingly hoped that he would not do this job. At that time, Gongsun He was ambitious. He felt that Gongsun Hong failed to do it well because the old guy was not as good as him in terms of qualifications and relationship with the emperor. Now
It seems that is not the case. Gongsun He also had the intention to resign at this time.
Gongsun He was stopped by Liu Gao before he could enter Su Ren's house. Gongsun He was furious: "You dog slave, how dare I stop you even if you see who it is?"
Liu Gao hurriedly saluted: "Prime Minister, please atone for your sins. My husband specially asked me to do so. There is nothing I can do about it."
After all, he was from the Su Ren family, so Gongsun He didn't get angry easily. He held a riding crop with a dark face and said, "Go and tell Su Ren that I'm here."
Liu Gao hurriedly agreed and hurried in, and soon someone came out: "Prime Minister, please atone for your sins. My husband has said that no one will see him and he wants to concentrate on taking care of my son's happy event. Please come back, Prime Minister!"
"What if I force my way in today?"
"My husband said that if the Prime Minister forces his way in, he will go into the mountain again tomorrow."
After being hit with a cold blow, Gongsun He whipped his whip on the pillar at the door of Su's house, causing a piece of patent leather to fall off. He roared into the courtyard: "Su Ren, you bastard!"
Gongsun Ao was also at Su Ren's home. Gongsun Ao originally planned to go home after leaving the mountain, but Su Ren insisted on staying here. He even sent people to Chang'an City to pick up Gongsun Ao's family members. Gongsun Ao was in Heihe.
There was a villa of his own next to him, but it had been unoccupied for many years, and the weeds were almost growing up to the eaves. Su Ren took advantage of the time he went into the mountains to send people to tidy up the inside and outside, and it would be just right when he came back.
Maybe Gongsun Ao followed Su Ren around the mountains for a few days and his mood improved. Or maybe Su Ren and Gongsun Ao said something, and when he saw that Su Ren had taken his family over, Gongsun Ao really
An Xin settled down in Louguan. When he had nothing to do, he would chat with Su Ren. Su Ren no longer went to the academy to find a classroom and went in to listen to the teachers say a few words. Gradually, Gongsun Ao gradually fell in love with such a life.
.
"Are you really not going to care anymore?"
Su Ren sighed: "I've said everything that needs to be said. Wei Qing can't help it. No matter how he becomes the queen's brother and the prince's uncle, these two titles can't be removed. No one can do anything about it. Gongsun He is different.
, I once suggested that he should not become prime minister, but it seems that he didn’t listen.”
"Those of us, you ran out on your own, and I was pulled out by you. Wei Qing can't run away. Li Danghu is a smart man and will never plunge in. Hey! How come Gongsun He is the only one who is still here?
Didn’t you see clearly?”
Su Ren shook his head: "He thought that His Majesty would not do anything to him. His Majesty had several prime ministers in his hands. Dou Ying almost died after two resignations. Tian Fu died immediately after the death of the Queen Mother. Now
Gongsun Hong is said to be waiting for death at home."
"You should tell him this!"
Su Rendao: "He knows it, but he just doesn't want to believe it. I didn't see him just to remind him. If he doesn't repent, it would be a good thing if he ends up like Gongsun Hong."
"Could it be..."
Su Ren did not answer Gongsun Ao's question. He was filling out the gift list. Originally, he asked Gongsun He to estimate the date, which would be fifteen days later. Everything was ready. They were just waiting for the parents of both parties to sort out the gift list and then feel comfortable with each other.
After there were no problems, they exchanged wedding invitations and prepared to get married. Originally, according to Lu Yi's intention, Su Jian was not the eldest son and there was no need to make such a big deal. He only invited familiar people to have a meal in the Louguan courtyard, and things would be settled as they were.
But neither Su Ren nor Leng Jun agreed, and even Su Jian's grandfather Ayinong strongly opposed it, so a wedding of unprecedented scale took place.
Ayinong is the leader of the Bo people. He has been operating in Dujiangyan for so many years and has Su Ren's connections to help him. How can he be short of money? What's more, this is his grandson. The old man can tell that whether it is Su Ren or Dong Qian
, Leng Yue is very good to her children and does not regard his grandson as a bastard. The old man will naturally do something big if he is happy. Not to mention Su Jian's father-in-law Leng Jun, let's not forget who Leng Mei's mother is? That was Yuanshan back then.
The most beautiful woman, and Leng Jun had only one daughter these years, and Leng Jun also said many times that he would not take concubines, which moved Thirteenth Niang particularly. Although Leng Jun followed him, he did not lose the love with Su Ren because of this.
With so many connections, the whole Yuanshan is supported by Leng Mei, who can say that he doesn’t have money? Since his cheap father-in-law and the girl’s parents are so generous, how can Su Jian’s father be so petty? With a big stroke of a pen, a huge amount of money is overwhelming.
Come.
When the day of getting married was getting closer, the two families suddenly realized that things seemed to be beyond their expectations. The Lengjun family thought that the Suren family would not go too far, so they made their daughter's dowry extremely generous. What about Yelang's gold?
More than twenty carts were loaded with new furniture from Yuanshan, horses from the Yunnan people, herbs from the plateau, etc. Ayinong also felt that his grandson had a special status. Even if Su Ren liked it very much, after all, his identity was there. Since others
Grandpa did all the work himself, and even repaired more than ten cars. Su Ren's guidance was fine, but Dong Qian felt that it was not good for others to look at her and she was a little dull. Since Su Jian was calling her a mother-in-law, that's okay.
It's my own child. After discussing with Leng Yue, I ordered more than 20 cars.
On the wedding day, more than fifty cartloads of dowry made a sensation in the city of Chang'an. According to some statistics, Su Jian's wedding scene was the only one in Chang'an. In addition to the fifty cartloads of dowry, there was also a huge welcoming team and
The procession of seeing off the bride. In order to show the importance of it, Su Ren specially asked Leng Mei to stay in Chang'an. Su Jian went to Chang'an to marry and returned to Louguantai, so horses and carriages could only be used to travel. As a result, Chang'an's traffic was almost paralyzed.
If Su Ren had not invited the people who were in charge of Jinwu to help maintain it, Chang'an would have been in chaos that day.
"Did you see? The front is three to five miles out of the city, and the back is still here! Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"Oh! This is Su Hou. Anyone else wouldn't have the strength even if they wanted to do something like this."
"You can't say that. We have the strength, but we just don't dare to show it! Didn't those princes spend millions of gold to squeeze out the bank last year?"
"Can that money be brought to light? If Su Hou's money dares to be spent freely, how dare they spend it?"
"Yes! It would have been great if we had met Su Hou back then. Look at the Cui family now, we can only envy them."
"Envy? You don't know that something is going on at the Cui family stall!"
"Oh? Tell me quickly!"
The long procession walked through the streets and alleys, as if to show Su Ren's wealth to the whole of Chang'an. Along the way, wedding candies and dried fruits were scattered on the first floor, attracting many young children to rush to grab them. This time, the Su family can be said to have gone all out.
According to some calculations by someone who is interested, if Su Jian's wedding expenses are put together, it is no less than 100,000 gold, and this does not include the 50 carloads of dowry. (To be continued)
