Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 16 Relaxing Surveillance
Zhang Ming has been in this world for a whole year. According to the age of Han Xiandi's birth in history, he should be 9 years old now. 13-year-olds are about the same.

If it wasn’t for Zhang Ming being the emperor, he could eat whatever he wanted, chicken, duck, pork, and beef. He would be at most about the same size as a 12-year-old child in this era, about 135cm tall and 36kg.

The Three Kingdoms period was a time of great contention in history, a time when heroes came forth in large numbers, and a time when the people were in agony.

From the Luoyang Palace to the Chang'an Palace, the journey was about [-] li. Although they took the official road, Zhang Ming still saw the real life status of the common people in this era along the way.

Regardless of men and women, all of them were unkempt, wearing tattered clothes, and many of them didn't even have shoes. They stepped on the muddy road, and their feet were cut one by one.

As for the old people, Zhang Ming couldn't judge their age at all, because nine of the ten old people were hunchbacked, and it was impossible to see their faces clearly when sitting in the carriage, because they were afraid of the Xiliang soldiers and dared not raise their heads.

And the children don't have any vitality. Some children less than 10 years old have already started to carry two buckets of water on their thin shoulders to water the vegetable fields. They walked staggeringly, but they never put down the poles.

In his previous life, Zhang Ming also lived in the countryside when he was a child, and he did farm work for a period of time. He knew how heavy these things were. At that time, he was mostly just helping out with the adults.

But people in this era have already started doing farm work at the age of six or seven, and their small backs have been crushed by the burden of life since this time.

As for reading, that is the right of the children of the aristocratic family. Ordinary people have never even seen paper a few times.

Of course, due to the immaturity of papermaking technology, the children of aristocratic families are also using bamboo slips. Paper is still a precious product in this era, even if it is rough paper.

Fortunately, Zhang Ming is now the emperor, even if he is a puppet emperor, he can use expensive paper on the market, so the problem of wiping his butt that the traveler hates most is not a problem for Zhang Ming, because he not only has paper to use , and even brocade silk.

However, sometimes he is not used to it, and occasionally, he still misses the comfortable tissues he used in his previous life.

In fact, Zhang Ming has always thought about changing the economy of this era. After all, development is the most important thing. It is a pity that he has to pretend to be stupid to survive under Dong Zhuo's supervision. Surveillance will be further intensified, and it will be a question of whether people can survive at that time.

So now he can only endure it, even though he has all kinds of thoughts in his mind.

From the day he came to the Chang'an Palace, Zhang Ming continued to play willfully as usual, completely disregarding the persuasion and teaching of some ministers.

These ministers, Zhang Ming has listened to their persuasion for a year, nothing more than saying that His Majesty wants to think about the big man.

To tell the truth, Zhang Ming wanted to go up and get slapped one by one, why didn't they try to persuade Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo was strong, powerful and had an army, and to persuade Dong Zhuo was courting death.

As for persuading the little emperor Zhang Ming, on the one hand, it can satisfy their self-esteem as a courtier of the great Han Dynasty. On the other hand, it is natural to persuade the little emperor that his life is not in danger. It doesn't matter, as long as they say these words, they are satisfied.

At the beginning, Zhang Ming still listened to what these ministers said, wanting to see what they thought, but later found that they had no idea at all, and they just said it to themselves. Zhang Ming's ears were callused after hearing those few words.

So much so that when Zhang Ming saw these ministers coming, he immediately ran to play.At least you can have a quiet time while playing.

Of course, Wang Yun never went to see Zhang Ming in any public place, and he never went to see Zhang Ming in private again.

Because Zhang Ming is surrounded by Dong Zhuo's people everywhere, such as Huangmen servants, guards, and forbidden soldiers, these are all Dong Zhuo's people.

Perhaps only eunuchs and court ladies belong to Zhang Ming.

For example, the little Huangmen Cui Ming is now the most popular person around Zhang Ming. He plays with Zhang Ming every day. I don’t know how many eunuchs in the palace envy him. Even if all the eunuchs know that this little emperor is Dong Zhuo’s puppet, But the puppet emperor is also their only master, and other people don't even look at the eunuchs, especially some ministers who were frustrated during the ten permanent servants, at this time they wish to kill these eunuchs.

Of course, because Cui Ming and the little emperor walked too close, Dong Zhuo's people also followed him. Even just a few days ago, when Zhang Ming was in Chang'an for a month, Dong Zhuo's guards called Cui Ming over and asked about him. All things about little emperors.

Cui Ming also lived up to Zhang Ming’s expectations. He concealed the matter of the little emperor’s delivery of news outside the palace. After all, Zhang Ming’s delivery of news outside the palace now is delivered by purchasing items, and many times these items have to be delivered. He was inspected by the guards of the palace gate, so as long as Cui Ming didn't say anything, no one would know that Zhang Ming was secretly exchanging news with people outside the palace.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo's people did not get any useful information from Cui Ming, and they always thought that the little emperor was just a simple child with a playful nature.

As a result, Dong Zhuo's people relaxed their surveillance on Zhang Ming. After all, even these guards are real people, lazy when they can, and fish when they can.

So now Zhang Ming can be bolder in doing things.

On the one hand, the current Dong Zhuo has become defiant. Even after the construction of Meiwu, Dong Zhuo stayed in Meiwu for a long time, and even the number of court meetings became less and less. There are almost no court meetings in the current court. , and Dong Zhuo also plans to expand Meiwu, he wants to search for all the beauties in the world in Meiwu. Beautiful, no matter male or female, Dong Zhuo dragged them to his black house.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo's subordinates also plundered wantonly in Chang'an. They didn't take anyone seriously. Some old aristocratic forces in Chang'an couldn't keep their houses. Only some court ministers and some aristocratic families could not be disturbed in Chang'an.

As for Dong Zhuo's people in the palace, they also lived a carefree life. Like the concubines of the late Emperor Lingdi, beauties had to submit to Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and the whole palace was in chaos.

Of course, Zhang Ming sees all these things, and the actions of these people have created some opportunities for him to be free. After all, compared to monitoring the little emperor, everyone is more willing to guard those concubines and beauties. Warden.
