I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Corruption punishment, everyone should know, is castration, which was quite common in the Han Dynasty. The most famous one was Sima Qian, and Mrs. Gouyi's father was also an eunuch who suffered castration.

People are eunuchs who don't grow grapes well, what's all this nonsense?

It's just a grape.

Wait... wait, no, Liu Tan frowned and thought for a long time before he remembered that grapes should still be a rare item in the Central Plains these days.

He thought for a while and asked, "You mentioned growing grapes, but Zhang Qian brought them back from the Western Regions?"

"Exactly." Li Buyan nodded quickly.

Liu Tan now understands that Zhang Qian brought back many local varieties from his mission to the Western Regions. On the one hand, he brought back things to pay tribute to Liu Che, and on the other hand, he enriched the various crop varieties of Dahan.

Among them, the grapes were brought back by him. However, it is easy to bring back seedlings or seeds, but it is difficult to feed them.

The water, soil and climate of the Central Plains and the Western Regions are very different. As the saying goes, if an orange grows in Huainan, it will become an orange, and if an orange grows in Huaibei, it will become a trifoliate orange. Even if the seedlings are the same, it may not be easy to grow the same thing.

Now listening to Li Buyan's meaning, it seems that even farming has become a problem.

Liu Tan looked at Liu Ju and asked in a low voice, "Father is really angry?"

Liu Ju sighed softly and said, "When Zhang Qian brought these things back, he was accompanied by envoys from the Western Regions. His father also made a big statement that he would invite the envoys from the Western Regions to taste the wine from the Central Plains. Father is not happy, so he ordered that it must be planted."

After listening to Liu Tan, he understood that it was a matter of face. Liu Che must have lost but not lost. Before Wei Qing passed away, the envoys from the Western Regions came here pretending to be grandsons. Now that Wei Qing is gone, they seem to straighten their backs I also want to ask Liu Chetong if he agrees.

But now this problem is very tricky. It is definitely useless to plead. If you can't grow it, it is equivalent to slapping Liu Che in the face. Liu Che's face cannot be lost, and if he loses face, you will lose your head first.

Thinking about it this way, it's just that the punishment of corruption seems to be less unreasonable for Liu Che?

In fact, Liu Tan didn't need to talk about it, Li Buyan also knew that there was almost no room for redress in this matter, and he just wanted to seize the last hope.

Back then, their family was almost ransacked. After Liu Tan returned to the palace, their family was pardoned, and only their family was pardoned.

He didn't know that this incident had nothing to do with Liu Tan, but that Huo Qubing's son Huo Shan passed away, which made him feel sad, and he found that the people who followed Huo Qubing's Western Expedition had gradually faded away. Show mercy.

As for asking Li Xi to plant grapes, he was not really allowed to go to the field, it was just management in the past, but in Li Xi's eyes, it would be better to let him go directly to the field, which is not obvious.

In fact, it was indeed Liu Che who punished him, but what he punished was that he concealed his life experience from Liu Tan.

Liu Tan looked at Li Buyi crying and twitching, and also felt that their family was miserable, he sighed and said: "This matter... I'll think of a way, it's impossible for the father to take back his life, I ...let's see if there is another way."

Liu Ju frowned slightly and didn't say anything. When Li Buyan cried and left while saying thank you, he said, "Why is fifth brother so soft-hearted? How can I respond to this matter? If you beg my father, I will be afraid." I'm going to be unhappy."

Liu Tan gave Liu Ju a big smile and said, "Well, I know, I'm not going to ask Father for mercy either."

Liu Yi said, "It's the same even if you go to beg the queen."

It may even be better for you to intercede, Liu Zheng did not say this sentence.

Anyway, as far as he knew, since the empress gave birth to Liu Tan, Liu Che almost never set foot in the Jiaofang Palace except for important matters, and even if he did, he would not spend the night there, and left after talking about things.

This couple is so inseparable.

This situation is actually a good thing for Liu Ju, but now he suddenly feels a little worried about his fifth brother.

The emperor didn't love him, and his mother didn't see much preference for him, even if he was partial, it was useless, and there was a Li family who was holding back.

Even though he had nothing to do with the Li family when he returned to the palace, how could it be possible to separate him now?

Liu Ju has always been too lazy to care about the life and death of his younger brothers, and even as kind as he is, he occasionally feels that it would be better if a younger brother like Liu Fuling is gone.

Now he is really worried about his brother.

On the contrary, Liu Tan thought very openly himself, and he said very relaxedly: "It depends on human effort, there is no unparalleled road, maybe there is a way."

Liu Ju laughed, thinking that his younger brother was really innocent and cute.

But he didn't say anything. He also came from this age. He knew that boys of this age are actually very stubborn. Others said it was useless. Only when he hit the south wall would he understand that some things are not what he wants to do. did it.

Didn't their father, who is as honorable as them, also want the Han Dynasty to grow grapes themselves but not get them?

Compared with Liu Shi's idea, Liu Tan's idea is much simpler. In fact, it is not impossible to grow grapes, but it is not possible to simply and rudely grow grapes from the Western Regions.

People move a living tree and move it to death. Grapes are weaker than trees, so whoever can bear it if they move a thousand or two thousand miles away.

And although it is said that Zhang Qian brought grapes back from the Western Regions, in fact, there are grapes in the Central Plains, or there are grapes belonging to the Vitaceae family, but the varieties are different, and the fruits produced are not only unpalatable. Might be a matter of not being able to eat at all.

This requires the improvement of the variety, which is a very long process, but Liu Tan has already figured it out, he can use the grapes of the big man to convince Liu Che.

Liu Che has a good face, and if the grapes grown by other people are planted, they will say they were brought from the Western Regions. That's so boring, why not grow our own grapes.

Liu Tan felt that this reason should be able to convince Liu Che.

But the premise is that he can find viable grape seedlings within the Central Plains, and he can't say whether he can find them, so he didn't say anything.

After returning to the palace with the prince, he parted ways in the previous court.

The Crown Prince's uterus is rather special, almost imitating the Weiyang Palace. Half of it is in the front, which is used for Liu Ju's office, and half is in the back, which is the living area of ​​the prince, and the prince's family members are all inside.

Speaking of family members, Liu Tan felt very strange. Liu Ju is not too young now. The timeline of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing has not been changed by the butterfly, so this year is the sixth year of Yuanfeng.

Liu Zheng's age is not mentioned by Die, so he is already 23 years old this year. At this age, he may be married in later generations, but His Royal Highness is still single.

Oh, in this dynasty, if you are not married, you are considered single, but he has more than one concubine.

I don't know what Liu Che thinks, it seems that in history until the disaster of witchcraft, Liu Ju didn't have a serious princess.

Liu Tan was thinking about these gossips, and just returned to his dormitory when he suddenly remembered a very important thing - today is his first day of class, so it's cold?

Just as he was about to ask Miao Rui and Bi Gao, he saw Fu Yu coming over to salute and said softly: "Your Highness, my lady is calling."

That's enough, without asking him, I know that Chen Ajiao must have known what happened this morning.

He was not afraid and asked with a smile: "Is the queen mother prepared delicious food?"

Fu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, but Cen You said more livelyly: "My lady knows that His Highness likes to eat minced meat, so I have already prepared it."

After hearing this, Fu Yu's heart skipped a beat. Cen You's words seemed to answer Liu Tan's question, but in fact they revealed a piece of information—they were in constant contact with Jiaofangdian, and they might even listen more. The words of Jiao Fangdian.

This was helpless, they were originally from Jiaofangdian, but Fu Yu was worried that Liu Tan would have a grudge against them because of this.

It didn't matter to Liu Tan, the four guardians around him, two were sent by Chen Ajiao, and two were sent by Liu Che, it was good, if something happened, it would prevent these two from knowing the situation and suspecting him.

When Liu talked about Jiaofangdian, he heard Princess Danyang's crisp laughter again. He walked in slowly and found that Chen Ajiao didn't seem to be unhappy, and invited him to have dinner together.

This time Liu Tan was a lot more free and easy. He found that as long as your status in the palace is high enough, the rules of etiquette are not so strict.

During the meal, Liu Tan heard Princess Danyang tell a lot of interesting things about the palace, and Chen Ajiao kept watching them with a smile and occasionally said a few words, without mentioning what happened in the morning at all, which made him feel very strange.

After finishing the meal, Princess Danyang suddenly looked at Liu Tan curiously and asked, "Fifth brother, I heard that you beat Liu Fuling this morning? How did you do it?"

At that time, Liu Tan was rinsing his mouth, and almost spit out the mouthwash after listening to it, but thought that he couldn't lose his face in front of Chen Ajiao, so he held back and almost swallowed it!

Liu Tan quickly spit out the water in his mouth, let Fu Yu wipe his mouth and asked, "Who told Danyang? This is too outrageous."

Princess Danyang said: "I just heard that Liu Fuling was beaten. I don't know who did it, but... how many people in the palace dare to beat Liu Fuling?"

Liu Tan carefully glanced at Chen Ajiao, but couldn't tell what she was thinking from Chen Ajiao's expression, so he had no choice but to say: "I don't dare to beat Liu Fuling, and he didn't get beaten, it was the two of them who got beaten. a companion."

Princess Danyang asked again: "Who hit it?"

Liu Tan said, "It's Kunmi from Little Wusun."

Princess Danyang reacted immediately and frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said, "It's that strange Hun."

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "It looks weird?"

Princess Danyang nodded vigorously: "Yes, his eyes are actually crow blue. Well, they seem to be a little lighter than crow blue. Anyway, it's strange."

Princess Danyang thought for a while and added: "But the Huns look very strange."

Liu Tan just laughed and didn't say anything. The aesthetics are different, and it's okay if Danyang doesn't like it or get used to it.

Princess Danyang asked again what was going on, and after Liu Tan narrated the matter, Princess Danyang was a little confused and said, "How could it be? Liu Fuling is not such a person, Queen Mother, do you think so?"

Chen Ajiao, who had been listening on the side, looked at Liu Tan meaningfully at this moment and said, "That's right, so Tan'er still doesn't understand?"

Liu Tan had a thought, Princess Danyang was the second person who told him that Liu Fuling was not like this on weekdays, the first one was Prince Liu Shi, but Liu's rumors were cryptic, Liu Tan didn't feel relieved and thought he was just doing it. Barely playing a big brother.

Now that Princess Danyang and Chen Ajiao are saying that, then... Liu Fuling is definitely not what he saw.

He looked up at Chen Ajiao and asked tentatively: "So this is a game?"

Chen Ajiao smiled, neither agreeing nor objecting, she just stood up and walked in front of Liu Tan, patted his head and said: "In the future, if you encounter something, think about it, although there are not many people in this palace, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. , the queen mother can't help you much, you have to rely on yourself, you know?"

Just as Liu Tan was about to ask something, he saw Da Changqiu next to the queen coming over and bowing and said, "To the queen, Your Majesty summoned His Highness Five to go to the Gouyi Palace."
