The people of Chang'an have become accustomed to living in a state of dissipation and extravagance. Years of peace and prosperous commerce have gradually worn away the bloody spirit of the people of Chang'an. In order to make a living, ordinary people have long lost the bloody spirit of the war with the Huns, and they live their lives like zombies.
In the small days, no matter what kind of things are published in the Dahan newspaper, they will not cause waves in Chang'an. Even if the private life of a certain princess is exposed, it is just a little spice after dinner. Officials are also used to a step-by-step life.
The disappearance of hundreds of princes and nobles over the years is a good thing for the court and society. Life seems to be easier without these people. However, there is a faint worry in their hearts, and from time to time they will unconsciously turn their heads.
Look in the direction of Shanglinyuan, because Inutai Palace is right there.
A large group of alchemists were surrounding Liu Che. Some were mumbling words, some were meditating with their heads lowered, some were turning over the bamboo slips in their hands, and some were talking to Liu Che. In the center of the room, a brass alchemy furnace was working.
The mist was rising under the manipulation of a strong man. As various medicinal materials were continuously added, the fire had changed several colors, sometimes red, sometimes yellow, sometimes black, and sometimes white. Two people in robes were in the corridor.
People stood quietly, as if waiting for the emperor's summons, or perhaps it was their job to stand like this.
A brown-red flame suddenly rose into the sky, overturning the warrior who was about to add medicinal ingredients. The hair on his head was already on fire, and he was running around in pain in the hall. The clever waiter hurriedly used a bucket of water to
The flames on the strongman's head were extinguished, and his movements were smooth, as if he had never done anything like this before. The injured strongman was carried off, and someone else took over. Regarding all this, Liu Che didn't even look at it, but still talked to the alchemist beside him.
talk.
A small figure stumbled out from behind the curtain. Behind him, more than a dozen chamberlains and maids hurriedly knelt down in the room. A smile finally appeared on Liu Che's face, and his eyes returned to the child in the palace who was not walking smoothly.
It can be seen that this little guy is very familiar with this place, and he immediately went to the alchemy furnace.
The shining golden bronze tripod had already been burned red, and everyone stayed away from him, let alone rushed towards him. Several young waiters got up in a frightened manner and rushed towards the child, using their bodies to block the distance between the child and the child.
Between the bronze cauldron, they completely ignored whether their backs would be burned by the bronze cauldron. They neither dared to pick up the child and leave, nor did they dare to withdraw. As long as the child took a step forward, they would take a step back. This kind of game is probably not the first.
Once again, after smelling the aroma of meat, the child left the bronze tripod with a smile and wandered towards Liu Che.
The moment the child rushed into Liu Che's arms, a beautiful woman walked out from behind the curtain. This woman was not only beautiful but also young. With her firm skin and beautiful face, she was indeed much better than other women in the palace, even the queen back then.
She doesn't have the grace of this woman. She has a good-looking face and a good figure. When she walks, she looks like lotus leaves curling in the wind.
When the woman came in, the alchemists consciously withdrew from the hall, and the strongmen beside the alchemy furnace also withdrew, leaving only a few servants to ensure that the furnace was warm and warm. Liu Che held the child in his arms, his eyes full of kind love, and kept talking to him.
The child teased, causing the child to giggle non-stop. The woman stood beside Liu Che quietly, looking at Liu Che and the child with a happy face.
Looking at the sun, it was already noon. The two people in the corridor were still standing there. Even though their bodies were soaked with sweat, they still maintained that posture without complaining or moving at all. The voices in the hall slowly became softer, and again
After waiting for a while, a voice came out: "Come in!"
The two people in the corridor quickly tidied up their appearance, lowered their heads and crept into the main hall. At this time, only Liu Che was left in the main hall, sitting lazily on his seat, with his chest open and as loose as possible.
Expose the skin of your body to the outside. Because of the alchemy furnace, it is even hotter in this hall than outside.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty! The Queen sent a red-feathered messenger to Shu County to inquire about the marriage between Princess Li and Lang Guan Su Kang."
Liu Che nodded: "This should be the case. The two children are old. If we don't hold a wedding and cause trouble, both the Su family and the royal family will lose face." After a slight pause, Liu Che asked: "What is that boy doing now?
Woolen cloth?"
Liu Qumao said quickly: "Su Kang is a Langguan and has been in the Yulin Guard. I went to see him specially. He has worked hard over the years, and Li Danghu often expresses his appreciation."
"That's good. I can still believe Li Danghu's words. Since he said this, it means that Su Kang is still a good boy! According to the decree, Su Kang will be promoted to a school captain. Only with such a status is he suitable to marry my daughter." He paused again.
After a moment, he asked again: "Where is the prince?"
This time Liu Qumao didn't say anything, but Jiang Chong said: "The prince has been very diligent since he was in charge of the country, and the courtiers are also very kind to the prince. I have also inquired, especially the students in the academy, who often have the prince as their senior brother.
For the sake of speculation, political guidance and people's harmony."
"Oh!" There was only one "oh" without the second half of the sentence. Liu Qumao and Jiang Chong waited for a long time. Seeing that the emperor seemed to have nothing to say, they prepared to leave. Before they could leave, Liu Che asked again: "What if?"
Su Kang and Dang Li are getting married, will Su Ren also come to Chang'an? He has been away for five years, and sometimes I still want to see him."
Jiang Chong said: "The red feather messenger has not yet arrived at Shu County, so I naturally don't know Su Hou's attitude. I heard Su Kang's intention and seemed to be planning to go to Shu County with the princess after getting married."
Liu Che's eyes suddenly widened: "This guy wants to leave too? Are you planning to kidnap my daughter?"
Liu Qumao said quickly: "It has not been confirmed yet. It is just speculation by ministers and others. It is just some rumors."
Liu Che was furious and swept down a blue and white porcelain bowl beside him. It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He was furious for a long time: "Send a message to Su Ren to come to Chang'an. If he doesn't want to come, I will escort him back to Chang'an!"
Jiang Chong and Liu Qumao looked at each other and quickly kowtowed.
Gongsun He has been dismissed as prime minister, which is a good thing for him. Since Su Ren left, Gongsun He proposed to resign as prime minister many times, but the emperor just refused. This made Gongsun He very uncomfortable. Since he succeeded as prime minister, there have been many political problems.
It's easy to say, but he can't see the emperor more and more clearly. Seeing the emperor's tyranny day by day, Gongsun He even went to court every day with the idea of exterminating the nine tribes. Just when Gongsun He's last nerve was about to snap,
At that time, the emperor actually let him go, which surprised Gongsun He. Of course, Gongsun He was not a person who insisted on asking questions. When the emperor spoke, he immediately expressed his resignation and finally left the court safely and without any danger.
Tang. Although Gongsun He is still living in Chang'an today, he has nothing to do. He has retired completely. Except for retaining a marquis title, he has left everything else clean. Su Ren also needs to retain the official position of General of the Hussars.
Gongsun He scoffed at this approach.
Gongsun Ao is luckier. He is a rough man. It can be said that the emperor does not take him seriously. Although he still wears the sign of lieutenant, he has not appeared in the court for several years. In the past, when Su Ren was here
Whenever I have something to do, I go to Su Ren's house. Now that I have changed my family, my hobbies have not changed at all.
"I heard..." After only saying two words, Gongsun Ao immediately stopped talking, moved closer to Gongsun He, and lowered his voice: "I heard that that kid is coming back."
"Who?" Gongsun He didn't understand for a moment.
"Who else can it be? Su Ren."
"Oh!" Gongsun He nodded: "That's right. Su Kang and Princess Dangli have already passed the age of marriage. It was something that His Majesty personally promised back then. Su Ren came back this time for this reason."
Gongsun Ao sneered twice: "I'm afraid it's not up to him. Do you know who invited Su Ren back? The Queen, she is the prince's biological mother."
Gongsun He looked at Gongsun Ao with contempt: "When did you become like this? It is true that the Queen is the biological mother of the prince, but she is also the biological mother of Princess Dangli. Don't just listen to the wind and rain every day. Even if Su Ren comes back, what will happen?
How about it? He has not been in Chang'an for five years, and the current court is no longer what it used to be. No matter how evil Su Ren is, it will take a lot of effort to compete with those little things in the court now. Don't forget, Su Ren
I’m almost fifty in a few years! I heard that I’ve become a grandfather, so we’re getting old! Do you understand?”
"Can……"
Before Gongsun Ao could finish what he said, Gongsun He waved his hand, got up and went back to the back hall. Gongsun Ao saw it and knew that there would be no chance again, so he left angrily.
I don’t know since when, a new lifestyle became popular among the upper class in Chang’an. No matter the dignitaries or the wealthy businessmen, after getting up in the morning, after washing up, they would hold the Dahan Bao and read it carefully while eating. Although the current Dahan Bao is not as good as the original
It’s fresh, but you can still take a look at many of the things above. If you understand them well, you can learn a lot.
Today's Da Han Bao published a piece of news in the cracks: Princess Dangli and Captain Su Kang are expected to get engaged years ago. It's just fifteen words, almost drowned in all kinds of exaggerated titles and pictures. Cui Chengru's eyesight is not good,
It took a lot of effort to read these words clearly. I put down the newspaper, let out a long breath, and turned to call the housekeeper over: "Go and invite all the heads of line. The old man has something to say to them today."
There are many people as smart as Cui Chengru. Some people see joy in these words, some see anger, some see loss, and some see hope. Su Ren is coming back!
The news spread quickly in Chang'an. For many years, a big stone was thrown into the calm water surface. Huge ripples instantly exploded, and there seemed to be a risk of detonating Chang'an. Some people who came here didn't know that Su
No matter who you are, you will immediately be despised by the real Chang'an people. Of course, there will be some good people who will tell these people the history of Su Ren like storytelling, so the whole of Chang'an is waiting for the news from Shu County.
Thunder rolled, and a bolt of lightning exploded over the city of Chang'an. With this loud noise, a group of soldiers rushed out of Chang'an and rushed westward. Behind the soldiers, a prison car was prepared with torture instruments installed.
