Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Little snowflakes were falling over the huge city. The cold winter did not stop the residents of Chang'an. The old residents left and new residents moved in. The new residents from Guandong lived in Maolingyi in the west of Chang'an City. The new residents were very interested in the city.  A big city is full of enthusiasm, and many people are still intoxicated by the impulse to buy and buy.  The East and West Second Cities were formerly known as the East and West Nine Cities. With the demolition and expansion, the Nine Cities were broken down into relative markets, ranging from shoes, hats, clothes, kitchen utensils and department stores, to flower streets and willow lanes underground banks, with a wide variety of varieties, every day from the sun rising to the zenith of the moon.  It is always so lively and prosperous, with merchants and travelers from all over the place lingering here.  "Remember, there is a new woman coming to the Marquis Mansion to remind me." "Prince Hou, walk slowly!" Liu Qian wandered out of the brothel, got on the carriage and immediately changed his expression: "What are the orders from Marquis Wu'an?"  "Don't worry, do you like the two girls my lieutenant gave you? If you don't want to tell me, I will give you two another day." Ji Fu said with a flattering smile.  "Hmph, I heard that Marquis Wu An tried his best to find a woman who is 70% similar to my sister. Not only did she live in his house, but she also doted on her. Marquis Wu An also had good intentions." Liu Qian sneered a few times, which was quite a bit.  I don't think so. Although the King of Huainan was deprived of his royal title, he was no longer as good as before. After all, he was a royal child who had been the Crown Prince of Huainan for more than 20 years. He was born in a clan and naturally looked down on his relatives. What's more, the Queen Mother Wang Quan had no personal prestige or family influence.  Their power is far inferior to that of the first three generations of queen mothers, and the Wang and Tian families are even less powerful than the Lu family, the Bo family, and the Dou family.  Wang Quan¡¯s personal conduct is average. It was previously revealed that Wang Quan had married someone among the people before she was favored.  Not only was she married, but she also had a daughter who had been hidden among the people for more than twenty years, not to mention whether Wang Ao's behavior was despicable or not.  I have a daughter who has lived in poverty and pain hiding among the people for more than 20 years. The Wang and Tian families are enjoying the glory and wealth, which can make the Wang and Tian families feel despicable.  The Empress Dowager Dou Yifang also had a younger brother, Dou Shaojun, who was missing, but that was because Dou Shaojun was too young and disappeared and could not be found. It was not until Dou Yifang became queen more than 40 years ago that Dou Shaojun found his biological sister after a long journey.  Just from the perspective of finding relatives, the Dou family is far more humane than the Wang family.  What's more, Tian Fu is a market gangster with a humble background and no knowledge or skills.  Dou Shaojun was transformed into a gentleman who was familiar with Huang Lao. The difference in conduct and style made the royal family, which valued family status, look down upon him. What was even more ridiculous was the blood relationship between Tian Fu and the Wang family. The Wang family was barely a relative, while the Tian family was nothing.  "I don't want Prince Hou to worry about my Taiwei's personal affairs. I would like to know the recent movements of Lord Ling Weng." "I don't know, I haven't seen that girl recently. Maybe she is still in charge of Shaxian City in Jiangxia County.  "Have you heard the specific news about Sha Xian's construction of the city?" "No, I don't care about that." Ji Fu secretly gritted his teeth and cursed Liu Qian for being ignorant. His own prince Tian Fu spent millions of money to support him.  He had been fussing for a long time and couldn't get anything done. He was always sarcastic and sarcastic. If he hadn't been concerned about his status, he would have beaten him up.  Liu Qian's face that needs a beating is really annoying.  After suppressing the anger in his heart, a smile appeared on Ji Fu's face: "Then please go back and continue to inquire. If you have any news, you can send someone to contact me. We are always waiting for your good news." Ji Fu's carriage swayed away.  .  Liu Qian spat at Xingzi at the carriage that was going away: "Bah! With such a small amount of money, you want to bribe this prince, so you can have your big dream!" He cursed for a while and watched the sky gradually darken.  When the lanterns came on, the four gates of the east and west cities were closed and it was time for the night market to open. Liu Qian wandered to the black carriage at the end of the street and stopped in front of it.  He looked around and saw that no one was watching before stepping into the carriage.  The driver drove the carriage through the dark alleys and stopped in an inconspicuous single-door courtyard.  The master's father came out with a big smile: "Greetings to Prince Hou, have you sent away the people sent by Marquis Wu'an?" "Hmm, that fellow Tian Fu is quite capable. He even raised a good dog. Without Ji Fu, the dog jumped up and down.  "Tian Fu doesn't even count when it comes to making suggestions." "Don't be angry, Prince Hou. Marquis Wu An was used to living a hard life when he was young, and he is not used to the aristocratic life. A few million dollars in an ordinary businessman's family is indeed not small.  " "Stop talking about that, it's almost making me angry. Tian Fu, the Marquis of Wu'an, is nothing!" Liu Qian thought of the bad temper he received and cursed Tian Fu for being a bastard.  The prince of Huainan was dismissed as a beggar. After all, he had been the prince of Huainan for more than 20 years, and he had seen a hundred times more of the world than Tian Fu had experienced in decades.  There is no limit to the princes and kings?, those who are relatively poor are just small princes and kings. The Huainan King family is by no means small princes and kings. At least the former Huainan Crown Prince Liu Qian¡¯s annual expenses are not less than 100 million yuan. Giving a few million yuan is like controlling.  He was quite insulting.  The dinner was served, and dozens of dishes were served in just a short time. Although the courtyard was small and well-prepared, under the warm hospitality of the host father Yan, Liu Qian quickly put aside the unhappiness in his heart and enjoyed the fine wine and food. The royal family with the surname Liu was born to  When it comes to enjoying happiness, he doesn't care what the person who lets him enjoy it wants, as long as the flattery makes him feel comfortable and doesn't let him do anything.  The master's father Yan did not have any requirements for him. If he had to say that he had some requirements, it was to prevent Liu Qian from selling his father and sister. Although Liu Qian lacked the political acumen of a qualified heir, someone else would never dare to do so in his position.  Being close to Tian Fu, Liu Qian dared to do anything for ordinary people. Fortunately, he asked for a higher price, and Tian Fu was unwilling to satisfy his appetite, so he gave his master Yan the opportunity to get in touch.  Liu Qian was a little inferior but not an idiot. He clarified the cause and effect and laughed loudly: "My father stayed in the Huainan Kingdom for two years. My father admired your talent very much. Since my father wanted to help my father, it would be disrespectful for him to refuse. Please ask Tian Fu."  Don¡¯t worry, we will never let him get any information.¡± The next day, Master Yan returned to the Hou Mansion with the news.  "The prince of Huainan Hou is not as difficult as he imagined. Tian Fu has not won over the Huainan Hou family." The master's father Yan told the news one by one. Tian Fu was very active in the capital. He entertained hundreds of officials, officials and celebrities from time to time.  Putting on the posture of Lord Mengchang to attract customers, it suddenly became the most eye-catching hot topic in the capital.  Yuan Zhong said worriedly: "I heard that the emperor asked Tian Fu to draw up a list. There were hundreds of people on the list who could be promoted to two thousand dan. Only Prime Minister Dou Ying stood up and vetoed his proposal." "So what if he vetoes it? Tian Fu  The key people who want to be promoted are all ranked two thousand stones." Cao Shi frowned and said nothing.  Tian Fu is famous for his courage. In the past few years, he dared to commit corruption and accept bribes even before he became the Jiuqing. He went to the high-cost areas of Dongshi and spent a lot of money. When he became the Jiuqing, he became the Marquis of Wu'an even more aggressively. His daily life can be spent like water.  It is described that a large amount of income from unknown sources has not been verified. After all, no one dares to touch the aura of the emperor's uncle, not to mention that the Tingwei Zhou Yanghou Tiansheng and the lieutenant Gaihou Wang Xin both came from the Wangtian family.  Even the not-so-smart military meritorious master noticed something unusual and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the emperor is trying to use his relatives to evade the meritorious princes!" Depriving lieutenants and guards of their military power is only the first step, and more processes of stripping will gradually appear in the future.  , whether it is to centralize power or to achieve political balance, the emperor has a reason to deal with the military hero who is too big to lose. The whole process will be strategically adjusted, and both fighting and pulling will run through the entire process. It is like boiling a frog in warm water to gradually numb the wariness of the military hero, and then  Tighten the noose little by little.  Cao Shi said: "Let Tian Fu be arrogant! The emperor's tolerance for him is limited after all. After all, he will only serve as cannon fodder to attack the princes." "Yes, your majesty cannot tolerate the meritorious princes.  Tian Fu and his like will lose their patience sooner or later, but what should you do, the prince?" Yuan Zhong raised a very sharp contradiction. There is no doubt that the emperor will continue to use Pingyang Hou Cao Shi, but this kind of reuse will never be the same as before.  Well, in the past, Cao Shi could recommend bureaucrats and even nine ministers, but now the emperor almost never listens to his opinions.  Take the Battle of Yinshan that ended a few months ago. Cao Shi tried his best to recommend the heroes to serve as high-ranking officials with two thousand stones. Among them were Fuyang Marquis Zhao Junyu, Fenyin Marquis Zhou Zuoche, Yingyin Marquis Guanqiang and others.  As a result, the emperor did not agree.  The emperor's suppressive attitude became stronger and stronger, which not only aroused strong dissatisfaction among the meritorious princes, but also caused commotion and criticism among the military meritorious officials. It was very strange that the meritorious ministers did not move where they were. Cao Shi's chariot generals did not move.  The recommended two thousand stones are not allowed. The emperor wants to use this method to prove that he has absolute control.  "The prince has a strategy in his mind, so why bother about the temporary pressure. It is foreseeable that the influence of the princes in Chang'an City will decline. The prince should start the plan early and explain the interests to the meritorious princes clearly." Cao Shiwen  He said: "You also think the situation is very difficult?" "Your Majesty thinks that the monarch has done too much, and he can still maintain a basic sense of trust, but if he continues to win a few more games in a row, it will be hard to say. If one day the emperor deprives you of the  The prince has the right to lead the army, and it will be over if the prince stays in Chang'an City and can be a peaceful prince. The meritorious princes will be wiped out, and the prince can only watch silently and there is nothing he can do.  He asked: "Unless he rebels, can the prince resist the emperor's edict?" "Of course not!" The Han army's consecutive victories have made the emperor's reputation prosperous. It is unpopular to dare to rebel at this moment. Once the emperor transfers him and seizes it,  Military??, all Cao Shi could do was lower his head and obey the order. If he gathered a crowd to rebel against the imperial court, the Yulin cavalry and heavy cavalry in his hands would be wiped out in an instant.  Yuan Zhong made a suggestion: "I am willing to be the king's pawn and rush to Longxi County to make arrangements in advance. We still have arrangements on the Longxi Plateau, so it should not be difficult to deal with the two major tribes in Hexi." (To be continued.
