Su Ren stayed in Louguan for more than half a month. From that day on, he never left the house. To be precise, he didn't even leave the study. He ate and drank there, and no one except Man Niu and Huang Shisan left.
Let's go in. Dong Qian and Leng Yue couldn't bear it. They wanted to call Su Ren out. They stood at the door and shouted twice. There was only one answer from inside, and there was no sound when they shouted again.
Dong Qian had no choice but to invite Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang. Faced with the two old men trying to break in, Manniu and Huang Shisan did not dare to stop them. The door was pushed open, Su Ren sat on the floor with disheveled hair, and the room was full of papers.
, on the wall, on the table, on the bed, on the floor, there was no place to even put my feet down. Su Ren had dark circles under his eyes, holding a pen in one hand and paper in the other, with a sad face. He had lost a lot of weight.
Wen Dang picked up a piece of paper from the ground, looked at it and handed it to Dong Zhongshu. Dong Zhongshu only glanced at it, threw it away, and left without saying a word. Wen Dang wanted to speak, but was pulled away by Dong Zhongshu. Manniu hurriedly
Pick up the piece of paper that was blown away by the wind, put it back in its original place, close the door gently, and continue to stand outside the door.
Dong Qian looked anxious: "Father!"
Dong Zhongshu said coldly: "They are all brainless. Go get Xiaokang'er, Prince Su Hu, and let me see how he stays in that broken house!"
"This..., husband, this is a big deal, what should we do if the children are here?" Leng Yue was a little afraid.
Wen Dang chuckled: "Zi Heng is in a corner now and can't extricate himself. He can only rely on these children. It's been half a month. If he doesn't come out for a walk, I'm afraid..."
Dong Qian gritted her teeth and said to Leng Yue: "Just listen to my father and teacher. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility. If you want to beat or scold him, let him come to me!"
Leng Yue wanted to be polite, but Dong Qian looked at her and quickly went out to prepare according to Dong Zhongshu's instructions.
When several boys heard that their father, teacher, and husband were looking for them, they rushed over with the bamboo poles in their hands. They turned a blind eye to the obstruction of Huang Shisan and Man Niu. The two tried to stop them but couldn't, and they didn't dare to take action anymore and begged.
It had no effect, and he watched helplessly as Su Kang kicked away the people in his father's study and rushed in. Huang Shisan and Man Niu looked at each other and walked quickly out of the door to avoid harming Chi Yu.
A gust of wind picked up the pieces of paper on the ground and flew around the room, and several boys crowded around Su Ren chattering. Su Hu tilted his head and glanced at Su Ren's livid face and said to Su Kang: "You're done, sir, he's very angry now.
My father will hit people when he looks like this, so get your butt ready!"
Su Kang snorted coldly: "My father is not Uncle Su. My father never hits me. He is the best father in the world!"
One sentence made Su Ren feel discouraged and sighed: "Who asked you to come?"
Liu Ju hurriedly said: "The master's wife said that the master was looking for us, so we came here. The student knows that he has caused a big trouble and asked the master to punish him."
Su Ren smiled and pulled Liu Ju up: "You admit your mistakes very quickly. This is what the master in the palace taught you, right?"
Liu Ju nodded: "Several masters, the prime minister, Xima and others all said that if you do something wrong, you must bear it. It is not the way to be a king to shirk responsibility. I am the future emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I should set an example. My mother also warned the students,
You must learn from your master and don’t be naughty.”
Su Ren pointed at Su Kang and Su Hu next to him: "Then do you think these two brats should be taught a lesson?"
Before Liu Ju could say anything, Su Kang stood up and ran away. Su Hu hesitated for a moment, then disappeared after Su Kang, leaving only Liu Zhi, who stood in front of Su Ren in a dignified manner: "If you want to be punished, Tai Tu, just punish him."
Punish the students, and the students are willing to take the punishment for Brother Kang and Su Hu."
Su Ren sighed, touched Liu Ju twice on the head, once on the buttocks, yelled to get out, and started to clean up his messy study. He had been torturing himself for the past half month, and he was so focused on everything.
In the situation in the Western Regions, the more he sees, the more he thinks, and the more he understands about the Western Regions. But he forgot that these things were all things Zhang Qian saw a few years ago. Who knows what the situation is now?
Maybe the kings of a small country have changed several times.
Su Kang and Su Hu's heads came in from outside the door and Su Ren glared at him. Su Hu chuckled: "Sir, are you not angry anymore?"
Su Rendao: "Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Su Kangdao: "It was my mother who asked us to come. She said that my father was going crazy. We risked our lives to prevent him from going crazy. If my father is angry, then we will punish our mother. It really has nothing to do with us!"
"real?"
Su Kang nodded quickly: "We were having fun in the front yard, so we didn't want to come over. Uncle Manniu wouldn't let us in."
Su Ren waved, and several children came closer. Su Ren smiled and said: "There is something wrong with my father these past two months. Your mother has done a good job. Even Liu Ju was so frightened that he still came here with all his strength. This shows that you are
If you love me as a father, uncle, and teacher, since you are here, don't be idle and help me clean up. After cleaning up, let's go out to eat beggar's chicken."
"Okay!" Su Kang and Su Hu agreed and started to clean up, and Liu Ju also hurriedly helped.
All the messy things in the room were put into boxes. As for whether they were different when they were returned to the emperor, Su Ren didn't care. Compared with organizing the things inside for the emperor, eating beggar's chicken with his son was not as important as eating beggar's chicken with his son. After packing,
After washing his face and changing his clothes, when he went out, the bright sun was dazzling. Su Ren took several long breaths and stretched several times before feeling comfortable all over.
They took the children to a nearby mountain villager's house and stole a chicken. The four of them ran to the river happily, ignoring the curses of the village woman behind them. Su Kang and Su Hu were okay, Liu Ju was the first
This was the first time he had done something like this, and his little face turned red. You could tell that this little guy was very excited. Being with Su Ren must be more fun than in the palace.
Just by the river, Su Ren washed and skinned the chicken, took out the seasoning bag he brought with him, and packed the poor chicken properly. Su Kang and Su Hu had already brought a big pile of firewood. Heni was Liu
According to Liu Zhi's task, this child was serious about everything he did, and he was suitable for Xi Chou, who was a muddy boy. There wasn't even a lump of dirt inside. Su Ren praised Liu Zhi very much, which made Liu Zhi very happy.
Wrapping the chicken in mud, he threw it into the fire. He also went to the nearby fields to steal some plump beans and wheat, and ate them while burning them. After a while, everyone turned into black-mouthed people. After eating,
The bean chicken was now cooked. When the soil outside was smashed, bursts of aroma filled the nostrils. The three boys squatted beside Su Ren and drooled without blinking.
A chicken with only two drumsticks was not enough, so Su Ren gave this problem to Liu Zhi. He looked at the chicken legs in his hand, then looked at Su Kang and Su Hu. Liu Zhi gave one chicken leg to Su Ren, and the other one.
It was only given to Su Hu. Su Ren was very satisfied with the division, so he stuffed the drumstick into the crying Su Kang's hand and said to Liu Ju: "It's a good division. Tell me why you gave it to me and Su Jian."
, not to Su Kang and you?"
Liu Judao said: "The Taifu is the master and the elder. We should be filial. Brother Su Hu contributes the most, so I will share one."
Su Kang said while eating the chicken legs: "Wrong, we should steal two chickens!"
Su Ren laughed loudly: "This is the most correct thing. When there are too few things, no matter how you divide them, people will not be satisfied, so you have to have more things. Why does your father want to go to war with the Huns? The Huns committed this crime repeatedly.
The Han border is just one of them. The most important point is that because the land of the Han Dynasty is not enough, the only way is to rob the Xiongnu. The emperor does not need to steal like us, so just go and rob it, do you understand?"
Liu Ju shook his head. Su Ren smiled and handed the chicken breast to Liu Ju: "In the future, you will gradually understand that we not only have to force the Yue people and rob the Huns, but also rob the people of the Western Regions. Whatever we don't have, we need
If you have one, grab it. This is how the country is. Whoever has a strong fist and whose army and horses are brave and invincible belong to him!"
After eating the chicken, he took a bath in the river. It was already evening when he came back. Su Ren sent a few children, called Huang Shisan, Han Qing and others into his room, and began to assign tasks. In the afternoon, he took the
When the children were playing by the river, Su Ren had already discovered that he was being watched, so he did not dare to hesitate any longer. There was a big family in Lou Guan, and he would regret it if he was not careful.
"Let Ah Xun start taking action. As long as you are sure, you can't be soft. If you beat them until they hurt, they will follow us to the Western Regions. If we let them let us go for the time being, there will be endless troubles! Of course, we will also strengthen our vigilance at home.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Keep as many people as you can. If there are not enough people to go to the Western Regions, transfer them from Shu County."
Han Qing nodded: "It's time to start. The longer you wait, the more dangerous it becomes. That Hongcheng has been checked and has a complicated background. He has friendships with many people, and he is not from Shu County. I heard that he is from Huainan. I have already
I sent someone to check, and it seems to be fake."
"Where is Chen Jiao? What has he done in recent years?"
"There is nothing wrong with Chen Jiao, but I noticed a problem. Chen Jiao's family has had a lot of new customers since the past few years, and most of them are alchemists."
Su Ren chuckled: "It seems that no one has been idle this year. Chang'an City is getting more and more interesting. Your Majesty, just leave it alone?"
"Su Kai is also busy, and they have also found some problems, but their target is too big, and everything in the world needs to be paid attention to. Although Chang'an also has a lot of manpower, its power must be limited."
"Give Su Kai a warning and ask him to tell His Majesty, so that His Majesty will not be plotted by others."
Han Qing was stunned: "Wouldn't this affect our plan?"
"It doesn't matter, we won't stay in Chang'an for too long. Mr. Cui is preparing the goods. As soon as the goods are collected, we will leave immediately. They have been setting up in Chang'an for so many years. Let's not get into trouble and find a new battlefield that no one is familiar with.
What’s best for us.”
Han Qingdao: "But I know from A Xun's news that those people also have power in the Western Regions!"
"So what? Just wait, even if the Mo family and Fang Xianshu can't die this time, they will still have to peel off their skin!" Su Ren gritted his teeth tightly when he said this. (To be continued)
