Chapter 491 The emperor is here(1/2)
When Liu Chang saw the majestic city wall of Chang'an from afar, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
The news of the emperor's return to the capital had already spread, and hundreds of officials came out to greet him in a huge formation. The size of the various honor guards was four times that of Liu Bang's period. There was no way, the emperor was a good man, and he was talking about a
The pomp and scale of today's honor guard was drawn up personally by Zhang Buyi, and it can be considered unprecedented. In front of this, Qin Shi Huang's honor guard looked like a barbarian on an outing.
There were an unusually large number of soldiers on the city wall, and flags were hung everywhere, fluttering in the wind.
Hundreds of musicians from Yuefu held various musical instruments, and hundreds of dancers in various costumes were also ready. If you look carefully, these instruments include almost all the instruments in the land occupied by the Han Dynasty. As for
The same is true for dance. There is the mask style of Chu style, the dagger dance of Qin style, and the sleeve dance of Qi style. There are all kinds of dances, which dazzle everyone who sees them.
The emperor rode a tall white horse and came slowly.
The musicians started to play, and they didn’t know how they used so many instruments to compose the music. The chimes chimed calmly, the chimes chimed loudly, the drums roared dullly, and the yu, sheng, and harp sounded at the same time.
As accompaniment, there are musicians who play zither, harp, and zither from time to time... all kinds of musical instruments, continuous and deafening.
The dancers began to dance, and all kinds of dances with completely different styles danced at the same time. Four Chu people, wearing masks, stretched out their hands at the front and stepped forward stiffly to the beat. As they stepped, they hung on their bodies.
The jewelry also made bursts of sounds
They trembled and shuddered, and on both sides were two Tang people who were performing the Sword and Shield Dance. This dance incorporates Yuezhi characteristics. The two people jump up and attack each other with their swords and shields, making the appearance of fighting.
Come on, dance to the rhythm, it has a unique charm.
Looking at this grand scene, the face of the elder riding a tall horse was filled with a warm smile.
Among the ministers, Shen Tujia was the only one who looked at this vast scene with a helpless expression and shook his head secretly.
"His Majesty!
!”
The three princes, nine ministers and other ministers all bowed to meet him. Liu Chang smiled, got off his horse and stepped forward.
"Please get up!"
Liu Chang helped Zhang Cang up personally, and the other ministers stood up one by one. Liu Chang smiled, took Zhang Cang's hand, and walked towards the city, passing among the musicians. Liu Chang was still looking at the group of people who were playing hard.
The minister asked, "Did you arrange this?"
Zhang Buyi hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty!
It's what I arranged!
"
"Why is it so extravagant? Those who don't know think I chopped off the heads of the poisonous kings!"
Zhang Buyi said loudly: "Your Majesty patrols the Western Regions! He searches for traitors, encourages talented people, drives away wild animals, and deters bandits. Wherever he goes, the officials govern the country cleanly, the people are peaceful, the bandits bow their heads, and all industries prosper. How can we not show off such great achievements?
?!"
"Hahaha, you said it very well!"
Sangong followed Liu Chang, and Liu Chang was not in a hurry to ask about domestic affairs. In fact, when the emperor came to Hexi, Liu Zhang had already sent people to inform him of domestic affairs. The direct control scope of the temple had already been
got a big boost
Sheng, in Hexi, you can use embroidery to find out major domestic events, such as farming, officialdom, water conservancy and other major events. During Liu Chang's trip, there were no major events in the country, but there were a few short-sighted people who violated the law.
Zhang Cang was just imprisoned.
This is a normal operation in the Han Dynasty. Because there are too many marquis, the Han Dynasty punishes some criminals every year and removes their nobility.
Surrounded by the ministers, Liu Chang returned all the way to the palace, and then asked the ministers to go back and wait for the court meeting.
After entering the palace, Liu Chang couldn't wait to walk towards Jiaofang Hall.
"姈?姈!"
Liu Chang shouted and walked into the palace. Cao Shu was talking to Yong'e. When they saw the emperor, they both stood up in a hurry, but Liu Chang's eyes quickly focused on Liu Shu on the "crib".
He walked up with a smile, bent down, picked up his daughter, carefully held her in his arms, and rocked her gently.
"Father is back!"
Cao Shu and Yong E didn't know what to say. Liu Chang hugged his daughter and looked at them, "Are you okay?"
"Everything is fine...Didn't Your Majesty just come back...Why didn't you go to Changle Palace to see the Queen Mother?"
"Hey, don't worry, let's finish seeing my daughter first!"
Cao Shu suddenly frowned, "You should go to see the Queen Mother when you come back. How can you be rude?! Please go to Changle Palace now!"
Liu Chang reluctantly handed his daughter to Cao Shu, "Wait, I'll be back in a minute!"
Liu Changfeng flew out like a wind. Yong'e shook her head and looked at Cao Shu aside, "If you give them some trouble, they won't forget us like this in the future, right?"
...
"Mom~~~~"
At the familiar roar, a smile appeared on Queen Lu's face, and then quickly disappeared.
When Liu Chang came in, he only saw Empress Lu's serious face. Liu Chang was not afraid at all. He walked to Empress Lu's side and sat down directly. His whole body was almost pressed against Empress Lu's arm.
He is already very old and thin, but Liu Chang is in his prime, like a big bear. This scene is like a giant bear coquettishly acting like a rabbit. It feels weird no matter how you look at it. Liu Chang’s thick arms are almost as big as Lu’s.
The back waist is the same.
"I miss you so much... Grandma, you don't know, this time I went to the Western Regions, I did a big thing. I formulated a poisonous strategy for my body, which is called the cannibalization strategy. This strategy is
I formulated it after observing the situation in the Western Regions and the situation of body poisoning. After hearing this, my teacher couldn't help but praise me, saying that he was no longer as good as me in terms of strategy..."
While Liu Chang was bragging, Empress Lu just kept a straight face.
"Liu Chang."
Hearing this title, Liu Chang suddenly felt bad.
"What did you tell me? Where are you going?"
"Anling...."
"Then where did you go??"
"Mom, I just went to Anling. After reading this, I wanted to go back. It's all Lu Lu's fault. It's not that the opportunity is rare. I've already come here. I just went to see the soldiers on the front line and encourage them.
Morale and stuff..."
This kind of nonsense can deceive others, but it cannot deceive Empress Lu. Empress Lu really knows this trick very well.
"Chang'an, Chang'an... Chang'an is not here, and An is not here either... What kind of Chang'an is this?"
Queen Lu said, looking at her son sitting next to her, she did not reprimand her too much, she just calmly ordered: "Don't go so far in the future. I have nothing more to ask for. I just hope that the coffin is yours."
Carrying..."
At that moment, Liu Chang trembled all over. He did not argue any more. He stretched out his hand and held his mother's hand tightly. In his slightly trembling hand, Queen Lu could feel his fear.
Queen Lu has lived for a long time. She has witnessed the fall of Qin and the prosperity of Han. She is not afraid of death.
The only thing she fears is this son.
She didn't know how sad her son would be when she died, whether he would collapse from now on, and she didn't know whether she would ever see her son again.
"Come here, bring some food."
Soon, all kinds of food were placed in front of Liu Chang, "Eat."
Empress Lu gently stroked her son's arm, and Liu Chang lowered his head and devoured the food.
Liu Chang quickly ate up the food in front of him and grinned, "The food here is the most delicious. I have lost weight while living in the open air..."
He said, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.
"Chang Liu!
!”
.....
In the Hall of Houde, the children were surrounding Liu Chang. Cao Shu, Yong'e, and Fan Qing were also very happy. They sat in front of Liu Chang. Liu Bo stood obediently beside his father, letting Liu Chang laugh.
Holding his face, Liu Ci climbed onto Liu Chang's neck at some point and was pulling Liu Chang's hair to climb up to the top of his head. Liu Liang sat in his father's arms and continued.
Eat with your hands.
"How are your studies?"
"Father, I have finished reading The Analects of Confucius."
"Ah?? So fast??"
As Liu Chang spoke, he reached out his hand angrily, grabbed the thorn that was pulling his hair, put it aside, and asked again: "Have you followed Mr. Fuqiu to attend the classes of other masters? Did you follow those teachers?
How are the students getting along?"
"Yes, the Tai students are very close to me, and we often interact with each other. Occasionally when I encounter something I don't understand, I will ask them, and they are very happy to answer my questions..."
Liu Bo answered obediently.
There was some fear in Liu Bo's eyes, and he shied away. Liu Chang narrowed his eyes.
Then he looked at Cao Shu.
"What's wrong? Is someone bullying him?"
Before Cao Shu could speak, Fan Qing couldn't help but said: "Yes! The Emperor is back! He also brought back a son of the King of Chu's family. This prince is really hateful. He wanted to steal Yong'e's jewelry and insulted Liu Cihe.
Liu Bo was kicked out of the palace by us."
Liu Chang's face suddenly turned dark, "Here comes someone!"
