[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

After the emperor's trip to Mount Tai, not only did the sacrificial rites take effect but God gave him face, but also because of the country's large investment in the construction of water conservancy facilities, Dahan ushered in a period of relatively stable development for nearly three years, but although there were no major disasters, the small Disasters are inevitable, but under the circumstances that the warlords are all peaceful and honest, it did not cause too much harm to the people's livelihood.

As the weather gradually turned cold, the northernmost front line of the cultivated land gradually moved southward. Some fields in the north had no choice but to give up the original rotation of winter wheat and soybeans in the case of only a few wheat seedlings scattered in the spring, and continue to grow in the warm climate. One crop of millet or one crop of wheat is planted in spring, summer and autumn.

But fortunately, due to the improvement of planting equipment, the advancement of water conservancy, and the promotion of animal power, the area of ​​cultivated land of the people has also increased. Although there is a loss, it is much better than previous years.

However, because there is no need to store grain for war, and the country accepts wheat when it collects taxed grain, farmers gradually tend to plant wheat, because the yield of wheat is higher than that of corn, and in some places that are not used as fields , We planted some alfalfa, and after the alfalfa was harvested in spring, we planted some corn in those places. Rich, but it can be regarded as an addition to some extent.

On the other hand, the popularization of kang technology has sharply reduced the number of people who died of cold in winter. Because of the previous disasters, the population of the Han Dynasty has dropped by nearly one-eighth compared with that of Emperor Ling.

It also includes those who have fallen into bandits, those who have not registered their household registration normally at birth, and various hidden populations who have disappeared from their household registration.

Although it has not yet developed to the level of one-fifth of the severity left in history, for a Han court with a history of nearly 400 years, this data is already very shocking.

The decrease in population will directly lead to a decrease in the labor force. Needless to say, the results of the decrease in the labor force will have a huge impact on national income, local defense forces, population base and growth.

Therefore, when the officials who were nervously waiting for the data of the three-year census learned that the population of this year had finally stabilized its downward trend and showed a slow upward trend, the officials of Dahan were very happy. up.

The kang technology was naturally brought to Luoyang.

In fact, when Luoyang City was rebuilt, the flue was reserved in the palace of Luoyang City, and the stove was lit outside in winter, and the heat was poured in, so as to ensure that the ministers who needed to go up to court without bare feet In the cold wind, he lost his appearance and shed two tubes of snot.

Of course, in winter, according to regulations, courtiers can wear socks, but they need to take off their shoes.

At this time, the socks did not have elastic bands, which were completely different from the modern ones. They were just a cloth sleeve, and the mouth was tied with a rope. I can embroider a flower, because when you go to court, you still have to bow your head to show respect, and socks are also a very necessary target for comparison.

But these socks have one huge flaw - they don't keep warm.

Whether it is linen or silk, even the most advanced silk is very comfortable in summer, refreshing and not stuffy, but when they are exposed in the air without the cover of shoes... even if there is a charcoal stove in the hall, but in the In a large space with ventilation, the warmth effect of the charcoal stove is not good.

The emergence of floor heating saved the ministers.

For this floor heating, the courtiers of the Han Dynasty wanted to accept Cao Mengde’s love, but there were also upright courtiers who were calculating how much such floor heating would cost, and finally got the news that this floor heating is essentially just an ordinary building, and its heat source is the stove. Finally, everyone stopped.

As for the firewood consumed by the stove for one night, they don't count it. The privilege of being a little emperor is still allowed, and after all, the little emperor is also for the benefit of the ministers.

Hey, let alone, the ground is still warm, and it doesn’t smell like a charcoal stove... After inquiring about this technology, it has been basically popularized in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Kind, but it's a pity that they don't take this matter seriously, and they can't force people to provide technology.

However, it didn't take long for them to start praising Cao Mengde for his caring. When the little emperor moved the capital, when the weather just turned cold, there was a team from the east who said they would come to help everyone.

The courtiers of the Han Dynasty spoke passionately, making this technology quickly radiate in Luoyang City.

To complete such a large-scale spread, the craftsmen naturally have to recruit local helpers in Luoyang, and the technology cannot be hidden. However, an extremely important material for making fire pits is refractory bricks. At present, refractory bricks... are only produced in Yanzhou.

It is not that no one has tried to use ordinary blue bricks or red bricks. Occasionally, because of ingenious craftsmanship or because they dare not raise the stove temperature too high, they can pass the test safely, but most of them still encounter bricks that break and make them burn. A situation where the whole kang structure collapsed.

In the end, we can only add a labor cost in addition to the labor cost.

In addition to heated kang, a new thing came from the south, which is bamboo charcoal.

The price is cheaper than ordinary charcoal, although it is more expensive than firewood, but considering the advantages of fire resistance and temperature control, the people of Luoyang City still support it.

Since Liu Xieqian returned to Luoyang, although the people of Luoyang said that they hoped that the little emperor would not come, they were still very honest.

As soon as the imperial guards were in place, they returned to their old places one after another. Although Luoyang City had been damaged, the damage to the Royal City was relatively serious, and the structure of the urban area outside was probably relatively intact.

Especially Luoyang people are rich, and it is an ancient capital of hundreds of years. People who live in the imperial city have a lot of wealth, otherwise they would not be able to withstand Dong Zhuo's round after round of searching like leeks.Our houses are basically of masonry structure, and now we can continue to live in them with a little repair.

And today's people are rarely single, and most of them are based on families.

Since it is a family, although this branch in Luoyang has been harvested for a crop of leaves, the roots are still there, as long as it is watered and fertilized, it will immediately rise to the sky.

The emperor moved his capital to water.

And the emperor offering sacrifices to the sky is fat.

Water and fertilizer are two-pronged approach. After the establishment of today's information, there is another site between the left and the right. The loyal minister Cao Cao took it down and sent people to manage it. It's different from Dong thief.

In addition, everyone now knows that Yanzhou and Yuzhou are now rich, and everyone wants a piece of the action.

In this way, Luoyang City welcomes and sends people and shops who have decided to settle down.

The traffic superiority of Luoyang city is incomparable to that of Changyi.

Sili Prefecture, where Luoyang is located, is bordered by six prefectures, and the Yellow River waterway runs through it from east to west. As the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for nearly 200 years, the infrastructure is also complete, with vertical and horizontal streets, and solid roads linking each prefecture.

Once the reconstruction of Luoyang City began, these roads would naturally be dredged again. As soon as the commercial roads were opened, merchants poured into Luoyang City one after another. Taking advantage of the cheap prices in Sili and Luoyang City, they either rented or bought real estate.

Therefore, by the second half of this year, Luoyang has generally stabilized, and the permanent population has returned by [-] to [-]%. With extremely low taxes, the residents of Luoyang City live a good life in winter, and they also have some spare cash. After the caravan from Yanzhou from the south took out their furnaces, the entire Luoyang City fell into a shopping mall. in passion.

The shape of this furnace is a small iron ball with a cover on it, some are flat, and some have patterns.

The method of use is to put charcoal blocks inside, and then buckle the cover and wrap it with cloth or fur. As long as there is a gap for it to prevent the fire from going out, it can be kept warm.

This thing is fantastic.

Especially iron, iron products are very expensive, but the price sold in Yanzhou is very conscientious.It is much cheaper than an iron pot, and basically anyone with a little surplus can buy one.

It's just that this thing has to be carried in the hand, so it's not as good as an ordinary charcoal stove. If you use firewood and ordinary charcoal, it's really intoxicating. At this time, the Yanzhou caravan brought charcoal that was said to be burned with a bamboo fragrance and transported here.

But anyone who bought a charcoal stove can use the purchase coupon to buy bamboo charcoal at a charcoal shop with a [-]% discount. After the discount...it doesn't seem to be particularly expensive.

You can get a discount if you order for a month...

It is said that if you recommend new friends to buy, you can also participate in the full discount activity. If you accumulate a few points, you can still...

At this moment, Han people who have always valued liberal arts since the founding of the People’s Republic of China felt the fear of being dominated by science students. Why, why didn’t seem to be clear.

But soon, a group of people suddenly emerged. They made various calculations and comparisons, and finally came up with the most favorable model. They spread this model among the general public and told everyone that you should buy one first. Then ask your friends to buy one, at the same time you have a point, and then you sign up for a month, during this time you buy two copies of charcoal fire, and then wait for a month to be used up, then change to a small partner for a monthly subscription, and at the same time the point card will be handed over Anyway, he didn't say that point cards cannot be transferred.

Friends, buy it for another month. At this time, the points have reached the level where you can get a discount. Then you can continue to enjoy the benefits of the point card, and finally winter will pass!go!up!

In other words, you are enjoying benefits during the three months when you need charcoal fire.

Of course, you can also bring another one. According to the more points you accumulate, the greater the discount. The more people you have, the more economical you are. Almost.

You can also get a bosom for nothing!

white!have to!clatter!

All of a sudden, the supply of bosom furnaces couldn't cope. Even if Yanzhou Workshop worked overtime, or even mobilized apprentices from the ordnance room who were recently free to help, they couldn't keep up with the hot market.

The most important thing is that I thought it was a market in Luoyang, but it couldn't stop people from buying and selling.

Scalpers, an ancient role, were still buying points at this time. With their extremely sensitive sense of smell and calculation ability, they calculated the cost and benefits of a point, and stood at the door of the charcoal house to do business.

Some people who are more affordable bought the cheap one and didn’t plan to buy it again, so they sold the points to scalpers at a discount, and the scalpers would come to ask if someone took the points or a familiar face at the door. There are still disadvantages, because the discount of bamboo charcoal is different for different points. Would you like to buy a point? It can be much cheaper.

For the business acumen of these people, even the store owners who were stationed in Yanzhou have some admiration. When they have nothing to do, they will chat with the scalpers at the door to get inspiration for attracting customers.

Anyone who can become a scalper must not ignore speculation and business acumen. Of course, there are scalpers who tentatively ask, can they really make money selling such cheap bosom furnaces at such a discount?

The shopkeeper also sighed, saying that this is not a step back in order to open up the market.

As for the truth of the matter, it is naturally not the case.

Today's large-scale bamboo charcoal production has shifted to Yangzhou in the south. This is also a benefit of Cao Cao's support for his little partner Chen Wen. There are several bamboo sea tourist attractions in later generations in the land under Chen Wen's governance. Not worth much, even bamboo shoots are extremely cheap, but bamboo shoots are not a special product that can be transported for a long time, winter bamboo shoots are better, spring bamboo shoots are tender and fresh, and can only be stored for a day or two after picking.

This thing is also fresh from other places, locally... Hehe.

Bamboo is very self-seeding, no matter where it blooms in spring, it may suddenly sprout a shoot.The locals are actually quite annoying.

After the opening of a commercial route with Yanzhou, Hsinchu has a route to the north, and the local people have an extra livelihood, which makes them feel better about bamboo.

Who knows that it won't take long for the government to take the lead in setting up a kiln in the local area to burn bamboo charcoal.

The charcoal burned by the locals has a grade standard, and the government will charge money according to the quality of the charcoal.

Although burning charcoal requires waste firewood, the local people said: It’s okay, the bamboo itself can be used as firewood, isn’t it just noisy and difficult to ignite?

It was Xia Anran who took the lead in passing the technology of burning bamboo charcoal to Yangzhou. The reason was not only to have business and earn money together, but also to protect the water and soil resources of the Loess Plateau.

Originally, the firing of bamboo charcoal was still under control, but everything stopped due to a year of waterlogging. During the rainy season at that time, more than half of Yanzhou was soaked in water for a month. Not to mention the huge pressure on urban drainage, this We must be thankful that many waterways have been built for irrigation. When the water is flooded, the people will spontaneously drain the water, promote the water flow, and clear the silt. It does not bring too much burden to the city, but the wet weather and the lack of sunlight Irradiation caused dryland crops to suffer from fungal diseases one after another.

At this time, the effect of bamboo vinegar to eliminate bacteria and insects is very significant. It may be that the bacteria here have not experienced the attack of fungicides. After a week of continuous rain, An Ran felt that something was wrong, and the pre-written disease resistance strategy [-], [-], [-], this year's harvest was much less affected than they imagined.

On the contrary, the side of the mine, which was thought to have no problems, was more affected.

The continuous drizzle naturally made it difficult to start construction. Who knew that the rain would continue to fall, and when the rain stopped, the half-dug mine pit would become a pool of water.

After finally draining the water and continuing to dig, it turned out that it was a lean iron ore with a lot of impurities and associated ore. Mine, but you said to give up, it took half a month to pump water!

After a person has paid a lot, he will become stubborn about this thing. This official is like this. He took these iron ores and dawdled into the workshop to ask if there was any way to deal with them.

The people in the studio are annoying, so we will only pay attention to one or two types of companions, look at your iron, this color!How to clean these things!

But in the end the iron was taken out and used.

After Xia Anran heard the report, she looked at the weather conditions, and at the bamboo forests that had begun to be destroyed due to the increasing demand for bamboo vinegar.

He thought about it for several days, and the associated mines are more complicated, so it doesn't matter if they are used to smelt steel. Cao Ying is not short of iron ore at present. Something that solves two problems at the same time.

The iron used to cast the furnace does not need to be good iron, as long as it is melted and poured into the formwork, the production of bamboo vinegar is far lower than that of bamboo charcoal, blindly ingesting bamboo vinegar will lead to a surplus of bamboo charcoal, and once the bamboo charcoal cannot be sold, the price will be reduced. This makes the industrial chain slack, which leads to an increase in the price of bamboo vinegar.

"Obviously at the beginning, I just wanted to make charcoal fire affordable for everyone." Xia Anran murmured to his family, and at the same time had no choice but to write an application letter to transfer the charcoal burning industry to the richer bamboo resources. The place.

What if one Yanzhou and Yuzhou cannot afford an industry?

Look for the big bosses (crossed out) to solve the problem.

Chen Wen was completely convinced by Cao Mengde's big hand. He felt that Cao Mengde was simply a saint.Someone is actually willing to hand over such a big business that makes money to him, and he is also responsible for selling it. That is to say, as long as Chen Wen makes it, Cao Cao will be responsible for selling it. For Yangzhou, it is 100% of the business.

That's right, Xia Anran just wanted to go to Yangzhou to build a factory, while Cao Cao didn't think there was any need to build a factory. The technology of this idea would be figured out soon after going to the south, so it's better to hide it than desperately. He was more generous. He signed a contract with Chen Wen and asked the governor of Yangzhou to purchase bamboo charcoal in the name of the governor of Yanzhou. He agreed on the price at that time, and agreed that the bamboo charcoal produced in Yangzhou could only be retailed on a small scale in Yangzhou. Large-scale sales, if you want to sell, you must go through Yanzhou Commercial Road...

Yes, Cao Mengde, who was born in feudalism, played capitalist monopoly in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was not in the name of Cao Cao, but in the name of Yanzhou officials. Once this contract is signed, even if both of them leave, unless you The governor of Yangzhou changed his name, otherwise he would be bound by a contract.

It's just so shameless.

The pure Chen Xiaowen didn't realize the evil intentions of his little friend at all. He was distressed because of the poverty in Yangzhou. Cao Mengde didn't send a piece of paper, but a mountain of gold.

The kiln-making technology is not difficult, except that there is basically no cost to purchase a batch of Yanzhou refractory bricks. What is the labor cost?The raw materials are all there when you open your eyes. As for the protection of the bamboo forest mentioned in the letter...

Hehe, the bamboo here is more terrible than weeds, protect them?If you cut half of it today, it will grow a whole grid tomorrow, which is easier to cut than leeks.But Chen Wen is not stupid. Since Cao Cao reminded him, even if he wants to pretend to give Cao Cao face, he has to make a show. In this way, he asked the people under his rule to pick and chop thick bamboo, and the bamboo charcoal he made was big and thick. It looks good, and the bamboo joints also made small bamboo charcoal according to the requirements. Because the shape of the bamboo joints is irregular, the charcoal made can be fully burned in the charcoal stove, and the output is smaller than bamboo charcoal, which is more popular in the future.

In the winter of this year, Cao Ying relied on reselling charcoal fires, and then sold a small stove, and Cao Ying's warehouses would not be able to pile up the money he earned!

Because Dong Zhuo abolished the five baht coins of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty is still in the stage of bartering things. Seeing that Cao Ying was actually broken up in the winter and started construction on the frozen soil to rebuild the grain storage room, Xia Anran felt that he could persuade Liu Xie to restore the Han Dynasty. Five baht coins are imperative.

The birth of currency itself is to facilitate commercial circulation. In other words, not using currency will inhibit the development of commerce to some extent, and a country cannot be commercial. Especially for agricultural countries, food prices are manipulated in the hands of merchants It's a big taboo, but you can't blindly suppress businessmen.

But that’s all in the future, and the imperial court probably doesn’t have the extra power to mint coins and issue currency. After all, the Han Dynasty hasn’t taken back the copper mines yet, and the craftsmen who minted coins back then were also lost in the war. Dong Zhuo also returned five baht in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The template is directly destroyed.

Xia Anran in Maodong was so excited that he drew a currency design drawing for the little emperor according to the appearance of Tongbao in the later generations and sent it to the little emperor. For example, engrave your own year number on the currency, and change a batch of templates if you change the year number, and the old version can be taken back.

A few of these old copper coins can be kept and melted to make new ones. Antique collections are not unique to modern times, and coin collections are not new to modern times. A commemorative coin with a special template can be issued every few years. It's on sale, if it sells a little bit more expensive, isn't the small money getting more and more money?

He wrote and wrote casually, but the little emperor didn't read casually.

The little emperor silently forwarded the letter from Yanzhou to his little friend. Zhuge Liang, holding a small bosom in his hand, read it silently and sighed helplessly.

The teacher is really... Thinking about it is a way to think about it.

Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, who had finished watching first, exchanged glances, and gave the same answer as the little emperor, that they wanted to issue coins, but they had to think long-term.

No matter from the design of the currency, anti-counterfeiting, to the acquisition of copper mines, it is a problem, but it is really a good idea to print the year number on the coins. First, it is convenient for the country to control the coins. The imperial court had a good idea of ​​the demand for currency, and it could also prevent the private casting of copper coins.

Copper coins circulate in the market, and there is nothing abnormal about copper coins in the eyes of the people at the bottom, but once they are seen by professionals, they will definitely find differences. Live in private coins.

Moreover, if the year name is used as the inscription on the copper coin, the cost of imitation will be greatly increased. Making a template and getting the formula can be used for decades, but now it can only be used for a few years. This method can also improve the anti-counterfeiting effect.

Of course, there are also hidden benefits. Although the people at the bottom know which emperor is above them, many people don't know the year name, or even if they know the year name, they don't know which two words it is. In other words, it is a kind of what they most urgently hope to achieve, and most of them have a commendatory meaning.

For example, Xingping is to hope that the big man will prosper and be safe.

Such two characters engraved on the currency can convey the emperor's thoughts to the lowest level.

Ordinary people can spend their entire lives without studying and illiteracy, but it is impossible for them to live without touching currency.

The transmission of the spirit is intangible, it is a wish, and it is also the emperor's hope for the people of the world.

Because when Liu Xie sacrificed to heaven, there were many witnesses when there were auspicious omens, and there were also people at the foot of the mountain who watched the rainbow dragon appearing in the mountain stream.For a while, the voice of criticizing Liu Xie for his improper birth and position became much quieter.

Whenever there is a disaster year, it is always a time when religion is rampant.

The Yellow Turban Army itself was founded by a religious identity, but even if they say that they are calling their gods, since the little emperor Liu Xie ascended the throne, in fact, the country is indeed going uphill.

Especially after Dong Zhuo was killed, coupled with this trip to sacrifice to heaven, the statement that Liu Xie is the real dragon emperor was finalized.

The public expressed great joy at this statement.

They finally ushered in the real dragon emperor, the country is saved, and the future will get better and better. Of course they are happy, but some people are worried.

As I said before, anyone who wants to raise an army must choose a name of justice.Originally, their best name for justice was that Liu Xie was not in the right position.And after he succeeded to the throne, disasters of all sizes continued,

After offering sacrifices to heaven, the people who were jumping up and down trying to blame the little emperor for the recent disaster also fell silent.None of them gave up, they just hibernated, waiting for the next opportunity, brewing the next excuse.

After the capital was moved to Luoyang, there were constant undercurrents among the people, and the court was not at peace. However, after Cao Cao’s proposed trip to heaven, government orders were communicated more and more often. If you avoid it, you can't understand Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's current status is above everyone else, whether it is civil influence or real power, it is so eye-catching that it makes people uncomfortable.And the most important thing is that the little emperor has a certain tendency towards him, which made all the ministers feel uneasy.But speaking of it, what disturbed them the most was the little emperor's trust in him. They really couldn't understand this mysterious atmosphere of harmony between the monarch and his ministers.

Although Cao Cao is not known to be involved in politics, he is actually involved in politics. However, he does not often stay in Luoyang, but relying on the distance between Luoyang and Yanzhou, whether he stays in Luoyang or not is only a difference in the court.

Instead, he was stationed on his own fiefdom, giving people the illusion that he was far away from the center, neglected power, and kept himself safe.

But sensitive Hanchens can find that many of the decisions made by the little emperor have obvious Yanzhou style?What is Yanzhou style?It is what they are very annoyed now, high efficiency, data-based, and parallel review systems such as re-inspection, random inspection, and assessment.

If Cao Cao knew what these people were thinking, I'm afraid he would feel very wronged, because he really didn't do all this.

Cao Cao is a smart man, of course he knows what consequences will be brought to him if he meddles in the government. The little emperor is young now, and because of his voluntary concession, his favorability for him has doubled. It seems that the honeymoon period will last for a while time.

But all of this is very short-lived. When the little emperor grows up, holds power in his hands, and has great ambitions, being close becomes profanity, and caring becomes meddling in politics.

He, Cao Mengde, will definitely not be able to please him at that time.Will Cao Mengde make trouble for himself?Of course not, he just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He holds the most elite troops in the Han Kingdom today, and they are all his own.

Although it also led to raising these soldiers, he spent a lot of effort and money.

However, relying on Cao Jun's military settlement system, when there is no war, these soldiers themselves are also Cao Jun's labor force, and they are particularly strong and especially good at doing farm work.

In addition, His Majesty does not know whether he really forgot, or reciprocated, and pretended to forget. He did not send new salt officials and iron officials to Yanzhou and Yuzhou. This part of the income provided Cao Jun with a lot of weapons and raw materials , It also helped them have the capital to improve farm tools.

Speaking out, I am afraid that other counties and prefectures will be envious. Under Cao Cao's rule, the popularity rate of iron farm tools has reached [-]%.

It can basically guarantee that every two households can have a handful of iron farm tools.

The popularity rate of this ironware is already a very remarkable figure in this era.

At the same time, relying on the popularization of ironware, it also promoted the birth of small blacksmith shops in villages and townships.In the past, blacksmiths were only found in cities, but now, basically in two or three villages that are slightly more affluent, a blast furnace unique to blacksmiths will be erected.

The villagers don't have high requirements for these blacksmiths, as long as they can beat and repair farm tools.On the one hand, these people are craftsmen who have served as apprentices in the workshop, and some are self-taught, perhaps they are the descendants of the craftsmen, the craftsmen themselves work in the city, and the descendants stay at home while guarding the iron signboard. , can also subsidize some household expenses.

When this was discovered, Cao Ying did not stop it.

On the one hand, today's Yanzhou really needs such people, because the hardness of iron as a farm tool is far inferior to that of weapons, one is steel, and the other is iron with a lot of impurities.

These agricultural tools are indeed easy to bend after touching the relatively hard rocks in the ground, and their heads are also prone to blunt damage during long-term use.

There are a few blacksmiths in the village, which can save farmers from having to go to the city to repair and reduce costs. From another perspective, these blacksmiths in the village can be recruited by Cao Jun in case of war. They are all Cao Jun's reserve forces.

In the past three years, there has also been a matter that is not big or small.

The little emperor got married, but his marriage partner made most people's jaw drop. The little emperor Liu Xie married an orphan girl, an ordinary woman of ordinary background as his wife.

Instead of marrying a son from a noble family as the queen, he didn't even choose a son from the Quanchen family, but instead chose an ordinary orphan girl?

This move undoubtedly showed the political inclination of the little emperor, who wanted to interfere with his relatives.

The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a short lifespan, especially the last few, with an average life span of only 20 years old, so when the little emperor showed a tough attitude that was different from his elder brother and father, many powerful officials put their minds on it. When it comes to his post, the little emperor without a wife is a huge and delicious cake, but in fact, even if he is married, as long as he doesn't give birth to a prince, he is still a sugar cake.

Ever since the emperor was in charge, the voices urging him to stand up as soon as possible have never stopped.The little emperor lasted for a full year before suddenly saying that he would become queen in the second year after taking office.

Because he hid well before, no one knew who he chose. The aristocratic families and nobles looked at each other with suspicion, and felt that the other party had sneaked away.

It wasn't until the truth was finally revealed that everyone was dumbfounded, and then Qiqi showed a mocking smile.

What exactly gave the little emperor the illusion that he could abandon the existence of his wife and clan?

The courtiers quoted scriptures and classics in the court hall, counted the wives of the former emperors, and told the little emperor that the upbringing of the prince is very important, and it is unbearable to set an example for women in the world to marry an ordinary woman.

However, the little emperor seemed to be fascinated by women's eyes, and insisted on making this queen queen, but the courtiers couldn't persuade them, so they didn't say any more.

But at this moment, everyone's hearts were full of ridicule. Regarding the woman's background, in private, all the courtiers threw down the appearance of a gentleman and gossiped about the queen's background.

In the end, after voting, the ones with the highest scores were of course the singing and dancing prostitutes. After all, the little emperor was young, so it was inevitable that he would be inexperienced. If he saw a beautiful woman who could sing and dance in one day, he would naturally be overwhelmed by her beauty. , is also extremely normal.

At this time, the ministers didn't think too much, they just mocked in their hearts that the big man has produced a heartless and righteous emperor since ancient times, but he didn't expect that our little emperor is still a passionate seed.

Everyone is generally not optimistic about this wedding. The queen is an example for women in the world, a woman of ordinary background.How do you take this back seat?Especially after the Yuan Dynasty.

Yuanhou and successor are completely different concepts.

Emperor Ling's second queen had a bad background, but she was only a successor after all, and she was lucky enough to give birth to the emperor's eldest son.

For the sake of the eldest son of the emperor, everyone acquiesced in this ending after the struggle was fruitless.

But in fact, how many jokes did this Empress He make?

However, Lingdi loved Empress He back then and insisted on going his own way, so naturally he paid the price. There were no women from aristocratic families in his harem.

No one in the aristocratic family is willing to send their daughter into the palace as a concubine.

This is a matter of course, who would want a son-in-law who has been carefully raised by himself to be under the daughter of a butcher, let alone the queen who is stupid and has no brains, she is not afraid of dealing with smart people, but she is afraid of encountering such a single-minded person, such as The little emperor Liu Xie's mother was directly poisoned to death by the mindless queen, she didn't have the magnanimity that a queen should have at all, she didn't even know how to play tricks.

And the women of the aristocratic family dealt with this kind of woman... they really beat the master to death with fists, it was a waste of all their scheming.

Without a powerful wife family, and with the indifference of the aristocratic family, Emperor Ling could only support the eunuch at that time, but what happened?

The farce that happened to his father at that time is right in front of him, and now the little emperor is going to do it again.

The aristocratic family's heart full of watching the excitement stopped at the post-sealing ceremony.

The new queen wore a back robe, graceful and luxurious, with a myriad of postures, which looked completely different from the identities they assumed.

Afterwards, the little emperor's stable harem and the unanimously acclaimed wife's diplomacy also confirmed this to them. This new queen is by no means simple.It wasn't until this time that someone made a sound and said that the new queen looks a bit like the daughter of Cao Cao's family.

The daughter of Cao Cao's family?

All the ministers were surprised

It should be said that if Liu Xie really formed a Qin and Jin alliance with Cao Cao, everyone would not be surprised. After all, Cao Cao is now the biggest warlord in the entire Han Dynasty, and as a matter of fact, he is indeed loyal to the Han Dynasty at present. To please Cao Cao, Cao Cao wants to reassure Liu Xie, and it is understandable to marry a woman from his family as the Queen of Yuan.

However, since she is the son of Cao Cao's family, why is she called an ordinary woman in the folk?Some people in the court who had a good relationship with Cao Cao wrote a letter to ask, but Cao Cao's response was very simple, Cao Cao did not want to be a relative.

This is denial.

In this way, everyone is even more confused. Marrying his daughter to the little emperor, no matter whether he is a weak ruler or a strong minister, is strictly speaking in terms of status. With military power in his hands, his daughter cannot enter the palace as a concubine, let alone become a queen.

Since she is a high climber and the marriage is not ugly, then what can't be said?

Therefore, the courtiers who were the source of the gossip turned their imaginations to another direction. They felt that since Cao Cao denied it, the queen should indeed not be the daughter of Cao Cao's family. Queen, seeing everyone questioning her identity, she deliberately released rumors to exalt her identity?

But it would be too stupid to do so. If she was exposed, it would be more embarrassing than if everyone didn't know her origin.

In fact, this news is really not from the new queen.

It's just that there are indeed quite a few close friends who have met the new empress.

In the palace of Luoyang City, the new empress poured a cup of barley tea for her husband. The little emperor took the tea from his wife and drank it in a very face-saving gulp. With some helplessness, he said, "I'm wronged, Ajie."

The queen shook her head, put her hand in the little emperor's hand meekly, and held him back. She said with a smile, "It is my blessing to be able to marry your majesty when I met him." point."

"Jie can understand the difficulties of His Majesty and father, and, in the final analysis, this road is also the one chosen by Jie, and His Majesty is also the one I choose. There is no wrong or wrong."

"Jie believes in His Majesty, and I also believe in my father, but as my father said, even if he can guarantee the same, and the elder brother can guarantee the same, how can the future nephew, the future Cao family, ensure that he will live up to his heart? It ended in a dismal situation, causing His Majesty and father to be in a dilemma, Jie just gave up his surname, and there is nothing to be wronged about, "

She paused, and suddenly said with some sympathy, "I have wronged Your Majesty, and I have to bear the blame from outside."

Liu Xie was even more sympathetic when he heard the words, he never thought that his identity would almost make it impossible for him to marry the woman he loves.

When he met Cao Jie, both sides concealed their identities. Liu Xie was a student in Luoyang, and Cao Jie was an ordinary woman who went to the streets to mix men's clothes. The two met in the library, and they could talk about each other. Feels good about it.

Cao Jie's men's attire was extremely transparent in Liu Xie's eyes. He could tell that it was a female son with just a few glances. Later, he saw that Cao Jie was knowledgeable, open-minded, courageous and heroic. He could even ride a horse and shoot arrows. As if it would shine, Liu Xie's youthful heart just hangs on this refreshing woman.

When he knew that Cao Jie was Cao Cao's daughter, Liu Xie had doubts for a while.

He didn't doubt Cao Cao, but Cao Jie's elder brother, Cao Cao's successor - Cao Ang.

After all, the power of foreign relatives has become a heart disease that cannot be erased in the Liu Dynasty. The short-lived emperor of the dynasty, the young monarch, the regent queen mother, the powerful foreign relatives, the little prince supported the eunuchs, and the relationship between his relatives during his growth. Struggle, in the process of Liu Xie's growth, he has seen too much.

But soon, Cao Cao's actions made him feel that he was a villain.

Cao Cao directly locked Cao Jie up and did not allow the two of them to meet again.

After reuniting with Cao Jie later, the little emperor learned from Cao Jie that one day they met and returned home, and Cao Cao frankly confronted Cao Jie.
