Chapter 56 The life-saving grace is hard to repay
The imperial palace is divided into two palaces: north and south.
Qianqiu Wansui Hall is located in the middle of the Beigong Palace, second only to Deyang Hall. Emperor Liu Hong likes to summon some businessmen here to learn their business practices.
There are four Quemen in the north and south palaces with the same direction and name. The one on the south is called Zhuquemen; the one on the east is called Canglongmen; the one on the north is Xuanwumen; and the one on the west is Baihumen. Because the emperor Liu Hong likes to enter and exit Zhuquemen, this gate is the most noble and the building is particularly majestic.
"Huo, is this Zhuque Gate?" Walking between Zhuque Gate and Xuanwu Gate, I saw the gate of Zhuque Gate from afar. It was high, really high, as if connected to the sky.
Cao Shu felt a throbbing in his heart and murmured to himself. "It is worthy of being recorded in ancient books - the palace gates that can be seen from a distance of Yanshi City forty or fifty miles away. It is indeed majestic!"
Suddenly, Cao Shu paused his feet and shook his head. "What a pity, in history, such a magnificent palace was burned by the damn Li Ru a few years later... What a pity!"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling lost.
"Little guy..." Cao Jie, beside Cao Shuo, urged quickly. "Don't be dazed, Your Majesty is still waiting for you in Qianqiu Wansui Palace..."
It turned out that His Majesty was about to see Xiao Cao Shu. Cao Jie hurried to Cao Shu to pick him up. He didn't think about it... Cao Shu, who was a young man, looked east and west in the Luoyang Palace, looked like a curious baby and lingering. This was a frustrating Cao Jie.
Of course Cao Shu was curious.
Anyone who studies history does not want to use the knowledge in books and real history to verify each other, such as... the history records that there is a complex road connection covered by roofs between the north and south palaces. After verification, this is true.
As for the so-called re-road road, there are three roads in the record. The middle is the imperial road dedicated to the emperor, and the sides are the side roads that the ministers and attendants walk.
This is a bit different. For example, Cao Jie is now taking Cao Shu with him, the imperial road dedicated to the emperor in the middle. Cao Shu can't figure it out. Could it be that Cao Jie's status is noble?
Of course, what Cao Shu didn't know was that this was specially explained by Emperor Liu Hong. This emperor had a special sentiment and favorable impression of businessmen, so he set a rule that businessmen could follow the imperial path. Who would have thought that? He was called "lower nine-rate", a businessman with the most social status among scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen, has an extremely noble status in the palace!
On the road, there is a guard every ten steps, standing on the side with two wings, which is very majestic. The two palaces of the Northern Palace Zhuque Gate and the Nangong Xuanwu Gate are opposite each other - so-called, the two palaces are facing each other from a distance, and the two palaces are more than a hundred feet away.
"My little ancestor, stop watching!" Cao Jie grabbed Cao Shu's little hand. "The emperor is afraid he will be anxious..." He quickly reminded him, for fear of delaying the main business.
Cao Shu took back his mind and could not think it was just a wandering around... "Grandpa Cao Jie, let's go! Go and see Your Majesty."
"Little guy, listen." Cao Jie's expression was serious, and he squatted down, not forgetting to give him a message. "When you meet Your Majesty later, what Your Majesty asks, what Your Majesty likes to listen to, you answer whatever Your Majesty likes to listen to, don't be like your naughty father Cao Cao. What Your Majesty doesn't like to listen to, but just say whatever you say!"
Understand!
As a young Cao Cao, he had the idea of being the assistant to the emperor and the pillar of the country, but he did not understand the rules of the officialdom and encountered walls everywhere. He was more frustrated than proud before the age of 33. Cao Shu had to take it as a warning. Even if he wanted to advise, he had to pay attention to methods and was straightforward and useless. This is why the scholar group had fought with the eunuch group for so many years and had not won. He was too straightforward and did not know how to turn and adapt!
Thinking of this, Cao Shu nodded. Cao Jie was relieved and asked the little yellow gate to lead the way. After passing the Zhuque Gate, he walked quickly towards Qianqiu Wansui Hall.
...
...
Changqiu Palace.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this was the Pavilion where the queen lived, the supreme phoenix position.
You are aware that people are in a happy mood when they are happy. Queen He, who is sitting in Changqiu Palace, has been very happy these days, and even dreaming at night, she wakes up with a smile.
Although He Lian was promoted from Concubine Jie to Queen, although it was only a level, the difference between this level was very different.
Besides, there are constant joys. Queen He’s son Liu Bian doesn’t need long to stay among the people for six years and six months, and can return to the palace. The mother is noble because of her son Liu Hong. Today, she is the only son of Liu Hong. If you think about it, you will know that He Lian’s good life is still coming.
...
"Girl, girl..."
Suddenly, a rough voice came from outside the Changqiu Palace Gate, and heavy "steps" footsteps followed one after another, which seemed a bit confusing.
"Brother?" Queen He Lian had no intention of blame. She looked up and saw that the one who came from afar was his half-brother He Jin?
Speaking of He Jin, he was born into a butcher family and lost his mother first, and his father married him again. He had one son and two daughters. The eldest daughter is the current queen, He Lian.
In his early years, his father passed away. He Jin, who was young, raised a family of five, including his stepmother, younger brother and sister by killing pigs. Later, He Lian was selected into the palace and became a noble person. He was favored by Emperor Liu Hong. He Jin also rose to prominence and was appointed as a doctor. He Jin also recognized Zhao Zhong, one of the ten regular attendants, as his godfather, and was promoted to the General of the Tiger General.
Now, my sister He Lian has become the queen of the Han Dynasty, and the He family is full of glory, and suddenly becomes a relative of the foreign power.
As for people, once they have power, they are prone to turn against each other. He Jin originally regarded Zhao Zhong as his godfather, but now, how can he rely on the Ten Constables? Therefore, the relationship between He Jin and the Ten Constables was not harmonious.
But, that's okay. My sister is good at it. Not to mention the exotic means, anyway, the Supreme Phoenix has obtained the position of the Ten Eternal Service, how dare you provoke him He Jin?
"Brother? So panicked? But what happened to Bian'er?" Empress He welcomed He Jin into the door and asked anxiously.
"Sister! It's indeed Bian'er's business..." He Jin panted and took a big sip of water, letting go.
Hmm!
The queen He Lian is most concerned about is her son Liu Bian.
Who is the god-killer? I don’t know who proposed it? She was still in her infancy and was fostered by the folk Taoist. This is nothing. His Majesty even ordered that no one in the palace could contact or visit him for six years and six months, which made He Lian almost collapse. She only secretly ordered her brother He Jin to go and occasionally see Bian Er and bring the news back to the palace.
Over the years, as long as He Jin entered the palace, it was mostly for this matter. This time, he was so in a hurry? I am afraid something big happened!
"Sister!" He Jin said just after taking a big sip of water: "Just yesterday, Bian'er was lifted up by a strong man and was about to hit the ground."
"What?"
Suddenly, Queen He's face turned white as paper. "Who? Who is so bold? Brother? You... haven't you saved Bian'er?"
When she was panicked, Queen He became very panicked.
"Is my brother trying to save me, maybe? Your Majesty has an oral order. Who dares to contact Prince Liu Bian privately? That's going to lose his head... Brother, brother, I can't do anything about it." He Jin spread his hands, looking innocent.
"Then you can't ignore it?" He Lian was still blaming. "What's going on now? What's Bian'er? Is he hurt? Or... or..."
She dared not imagine the consequences, for fear that the consequences would not be accepted. This is her flesh and blood, and this is the future emperor of the great man!
"Girl, don't panic. Although I can't help it, I'm not going to help it, but someone saved Bian'er!" He Jin hurriedly explained.
"Who?" Empress He, who had closed her eyes and looked like tears were about to flow out, suddenly opened her eyes, "Who is it? Who saved Bian'er?"
"It's the young grandson of the Cao family, and his name is Cao Shu. By the way, he was the one who hoarded Huyou a few days ago. I heard that he made a lot of money!"
"Um...is it him?" Queen He paused.
Cao Shu, this name... often appears in her mind during this period, as if... the one who sells her Hu clothing, is this Cao Shuo; during this period, "Hu Feng" hits, and the one who has the most rumors in the palace is the hoarding of this little guy, and he has made a lot of money after hearing it. Why... Even yesterday, was it him who saved Bian'er?
Suddenly, Empress He felt that she was very destined to be with this little guy named Cao Shu...
"Brother, how did Cao Shu save Bian'er? Tell me in detail." Queen He's mouth slightly opened, and finally showed a smile. After all, she saved her own son, and she still felt grateful.
"This." He Jin patted his forehead. "Actually... Cao Shu didn't do anything? He just used money and a large bag of gold to save Bian'er."
Well? Gold!
Yes, this little guy Cao Shu seems to be - not short of money!
