The popularity of Dahan Bao was like an explosion. It spread quickly and widely, allowing the entire Han Dynasty to see the power of merchants. When the first Dahan Bao left Chang'an, it only took eleven days to be placed on the desk of Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan.
It was ten days faster than the court's inn. Liu Ci was very interested in it. Although he didn't know the purpose of Su Ren's creation of this thing, he always felt that he was not very at ease. Looking at these thin pieces of paper in front of him,
Liu Ci's heart suddenly moved, as if he saw that his end was related to them.
Liu Xiao waited for a long time. Seeing Liu Ci standing there, he whispered: "Father, are you okay?"
Liu Ci closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then turned to Huainan King Liu An and said: "Brother Wang, we really should go to Beijing this time."
The King of Huainan nodded: "Yes, ever since that Su Ren returned, the capital has never been peaceful. Things that were once vigorous and vigorous have now become complicated and confusing. I really underestimated this Su Ren."
"What does Brother Wang mean?"
Liu An sneered: "Have you seen the first article of this so-called Da Han Bao? It's talking about the official system of the imperial court. What kind of uniform changes are going to be carried out? This is the emperor's order to rectify the officialdom. In the early years, the emperor used Guang Luxun to build an inner court.
At that time, they were just children as old as the emperor, but what about now? Those people followed Su Ren to Kuaiji. Let alone others, Su Ren was almost on par with Jiu Qing. This is just a sign, wait and see.
Those people will jump out one by one and take control of the entire court sooner or later."
Liu Ci frowned: "Brother Wang means that the emperor is ready to rule personally?"
"It's not preparation, it's already started!" Liu Andao said: "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and the emperor also sees an opportunity! Our emperor is no longer the child he was before."
"Will they attack us?"
"Have you forgotten about King Dai? After King Dai died, the Kingdom of Dai was divided into three parts. It only took half a year to find various reasons. The sons of King Dai have now been changed to Dai County! If
I guessed right, the next one is either my Huainan Kingdom or your Hengshan Kingdom."
Liu Ci was stunned again. He was stunned for a long time. Liu Xiao shouted several times but still didn't respond.
The news that the King of Huainan and the King of Hengshan were going to the capital came back to Chang'an, and there was an immediate uproar in the court. These two people are brothers, and they are the sons of King Li of Huainan. They have not entered the capital for many years, even if they issued an imperial edict.
They will all use various excuses to shirk it. This time they suddenly asked to go to Beijing, smart people have already seen something from it.
Zhuang Qingzhai, the imperial censor, was naturally a smart man, and he saw clearly. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he immediately sent someone to find Zhu Maichen, Wang Chao, and Bian Tong's three trusted aides.
Before the three of them had finished bowing, Zhuang Qingzhai said: "Maichen, go to the blueberry garden this afternoon and tell me that I want to meet the owner of the blueberry garden."
Zhu Maichen asked in confusion: "Teacher, why are you so anxious? Could it be that Huainan Kingdom..."
"Don't make wild guesses. The Huainan Kingdom and the King of Huainan are both very good. I just think the weather has been hot these days and I would like to go to the blueberry garden to escape the heat."
Zhu Maichen rolled his eyes and said, "Nuo, the student will go now!"
Bian Tong and Wang Chao looked at Zhu Maichen going out with envy on their faces. The blueberry garden is the residence of Liu Ling, the princess of Huainan Kingdom. It was named because the garden is full of blueberries. In summer and autumn, the whole yard is covered with green leaves.
The blueberries are really beautiful. Pick one and pop it into your mouth. It tastes sour and sweet, and the taste is extraordinary. It is not that simple to enter this blueberry garden. Not only must you have a qualified official position, but you must also be first-class in poetry and song.
Otherwise, even if you come in, you won’t have anything in common with others.
Liu Ling's blueberry garden is located in the west of Chang'an near the Weishui River. In the past few days, because Liu Ling closed the door to thank guests, the place has become deserted. According to the local people, on a normal day, you will be covered in mud and mud on rainy days, which is enough to prove it.
How many people come here.
Zhu Maichen is familiar with the road. It is not that he is a frequent visitor here. He has also followed Zhuang Qingzhai here several times. He has written a few poems and left his name. However, he is just a guest in the imperial censor's house. In terms of official status,
He is just a doctor and has no chance to come alone.
Stopping the car at the entrance of the blueberry garden, Zhu Maichen packed up his clothes and saluted respectfully at the two gates: "You two, please let me know. Zhu Maichen of the imperial censor's office wants to see the princess."
Menzi glanced at Zhu Maichen: "Wait!"
Zhu Maichen stood at the door in an orderly manner, facing out with respect. He was neither impatient nor anxious. The people passing by were not surprised by this scene. After taking a look, they knew what to do. But there was one
The child carrying the basket came over and tugged at the corner of Zhu Maichen's clothes: "Want to buy blueberries?"
Zhu Maichen did not drive the children away. He once saw someone drive away the people selling blueberries and never went in again. Even though the owner of the blueberry garden is a woman, she does things very strangely, and many of her behaviors are unpredictable.
The uncertainty also adds to the mystery of the blueberry garden, making the dignitaries of Chang'an City flock to it.
Zhu Maichen bought a pack of blueberries and gave the child a lot of reward. The child ran away happily.
As soon as the child left, the door came out and waved to Zhu Maichen. Zhu Maichen hurried over, took out a money bag from his arms, and handed it to the door: "Thank you! I wonder how the blueberry owner will reply?"
Menzi's attitude improved a lot. He weighed the money bag in his hand twice and put it into his arms: "Are you from the palace of the imperial censor?"
"Exactly!"
"Why did Marquis Wu Qiang send you here?"
"My master sent me to ask for a meeting with the blueberry owner. I will come to visit you in the afternoon. I beg the blueberry owner to meet with you."
"Oh..." Menzi nodded: "In that case, you can go back. The master of the house has given instructions on this matter. It is obvious. Please ask Wu Qiang to come in the afternoon."
Zhu Maichen was stunned: "This..., please let me know again. If the owner of Blueberry hadn't agreed personally, I would be worried that I wouldn't be able to reply to my master when I go back."
"You're such a strange person. If the master says yes, then yes! The master is busy right now and it's not convenient to see guests!"
When he came, Zhu Maichen saw a carriage parked by the roadside, but the carriage was very ordinary and there was no emblem on it, so it was hard to tell who it belonged to. At that time, Zhu Maichen didn't take it to heart, but now he understood.
. He saluted again at the door, climbed into his carriage and walked back slowly. After turning around the street, Zhu Maichen asked the driver to stop, and drove the car aside to wait. He wanted to see who owned the two carriages.
.
The sun was scorching, and it was even hotter in the carriage. Zhu Maichen had taken off his outer robe and was only wearing his middle coat. He gently opened the corner of the carriage curtain and looked quietly at the road leading to the blueberry field. It was already past noon, and the two carriages
It still stopped there. Just when Zhu Maichen was about to give up, there was movement in the blueberry garden.
The first thing that catches the eye is a girl of eighteen or nineteen. The girl is very good-looking, especially when she smiles, she looks charming, but men can't hold it back. Zhu Maichen knows this person, she is Blueberry Garden
The owner is Liu Ling, the eldest daughter of Liu An, the princess of Huainan Kingdom.
Liu Ling came to Chang'an when he was fifteen years old, built this blueberry garden, and called himself the master of blueberries. In four or five years, this blueberry garden became a place that everyone in Chang'an longed for, and it was also the location of Liu An's spy in Chang'an. By visiting the blueberry garden
As a high-ranking official, Liu Ling could easily obtain important information from the court and pass it back to Huainan, allowing the King of Huainan to avoid danger again and again.
Liu Ling was saying goodbye to the two people. Zhu Maichen also knew these two people. One was the eldest son of Princess Guantao, Chen Xu, and the other turned out to be Han Yan, the middle doctor. This is a big deal. What does it mean for these two people to come to the blueberry garden?
?Choose this extraordinary period! It is very likely that Princess Guantao has already united with Huainan King Liu An. If the Huainan King really raises an army by then, it is really possible for the inside and outside to do something incredible.
Without bothering to wipe the sweat from his face, Zhu Maichen ordered the driver to drive back. He ran along the road and rushed into the imperial censor's palace.
Zhuang Qingzhai is still studying the Da Han newspaper. Among other things, those poems and songs are still very attractive. As a literati, who doesn't want to be famous in history? Ruling a country is not a big skill, and poetry and poetry are the biggest pursuit. It's just that.
Zhuang Qingzhai thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out who Zeng Gong and Liu Zongyuan were.
"Teacher, the students are back!"
Zhuang Qingzhai looked up and saw Zhu Maichen's disheveled clothes, and felt unhappy in his heart.
Zhu Maichen quickly saluted and said, "Teacher and student, I have something important to report."
"explain!"
Zhu Maichen then told the story of going to the blueberry garden: "The student felt that it was very important, so he came here in a hurry. I hope the teacher will forgive me."
Zhuang Qingzhai rolled his eyes: "Can you see clearly, it's really Long Luhou and Han Yan?"
"The students can see clearly and there is no mistake. This is enough to prove that Princess Guantao and Han Yan have colluded with the King of Huainan. The students think that the teacher should go to the palace immediately and report to His Majesty!"
Zhuang Qingzhai shook his head: "No, this matter is indeed important. I have to think about it carefully."
"Teacher, you must not hesitate. Your Majesty must know what Liu Ling did in Chang'an. The student will definitely not be able to escape from His Majesty's sight. Your Majesty has already alienated the teacher. If the teacher does not retaliate, it will not do the teacher any good!"
Zhuang Qingzhai raised his hand: "Step aside and let me think about it again."
"teacher……"
Zhuang Qingzhai ignored Zhu Maichen and lowered his head in thought.
Su Kai was the bodyguard recommended by Su Ren to Emperor Liu Che and had been deeply trusted by Liu Che for more than a year. Su Kai also lived up to his expectations and rebuilt the Black Ice Platform in just one year, almost keeping the entire Chang'an under his surveillance.
Next. He knows all the big and small matters in Chang'an City, especially the activities of the powerful, and they will never escape his eyes. The last time Su Ren was able to exclude Liu Prostitute and Han Yan from the attack on the Su family's carriage, he also listened to Su Kai's words.
Liu Che snorted coldly: "The dignified Lord is so shameless, what use do I need from him?"
Su Kai knelt on the ground and remained silent.
Liu Che continued: "Send people to closely monitor the blueberry garden and Zhuang Qingzhai. If they dare to make any changes, you are allowed to kill them first and report later!" (To be continued)
