late han empire

() Back at the station, Liu Ming changed his clothes before walking out.

Acting completely according to the script drawn up by Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, he is quite tired as an actor.Besides, this is still a scene where you can't say 'cut', let alone 'ng'.

"It seems that everything is going well." Walking out of the hall, Cheng Yu asked happily.

"Let's just fool around, but the hasty march to achieve this goal is finally worthwhile!" Liu Ming laughed.

Communication was backward in ancient times, and it took at least ten days for the news of Yangjiabao's slaughter to reach Emperor Hanling through the relevant departments.Even Yang Ci, the Patriarch of the Yang Family, could only obtain this information three or four days in advance.

Then, before the imperial court got the information, they arrived in Luoyang first, so that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong could not play tricks on the information.Even if you make it in time, you can reverse the unfavorable situation before the conclusion is issued!

As a result, needless to say, Emperor Ling obviously hadn't come to a conclusion on this matter, and gave himself a chance to defend himself.

At the same time, regardless of the evidence he provided, the loot handed in, or even whether Emperor Han Ling planned to attack the powerful, he had won anyway.

The fall of the Yang family is inevitable, unless a certain dynasty rises again.I believe that in the near future, those dirty disciples and playboys under the Yang clan will be liquidated soon.

Not only Huang Wan's family, but other clans will also go for it.In political battles, there are no favors.

However, Huang Wan's family, with the information she gave first, should have started to fight for power at this moment.In terms of foresight, no matter how cautious they are, the final harvest will not be worse than those of the powerful.

Then again, in order to achieve this effect, a speeding march of five hundred miles a day...for my small body, it was indeed a kind of torture.It's hard to imagine that the two civil servants in front of them could bear it.

"Speaking of which, His Majesty is hosting a family banquet tonight and invited me to the banquet..." Liu Ming mentioned a little.

"It's normal. It's rare for the Liu family to find a great talent who can govern the country with Wen Ke and be able to stabilize the country with martial arts. As the ruler of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty, who has almost no power, will naturally try to win him over. If there are no accidents, it's hard to say I will also arrange a marriage for you!" Cheng Yu joked.

"By the way, I'm already engaged..." Liu Ming smiled wryly.

"You are only engaged, His Majesty personally bestowed the marriage, do you think those aristocratic families dare to say that Er Qiao, whom they have engaged, can be the main wife?" Gao Shun said leisurely from the side.

Well, whoever makes the emperor is the biggest feudal leader these days.

"Can you guess the candidate?" At any rate, you must know who your marriage partner is.

"Tang Shuang, the daughter of Tang Mao, the prefect of Kuaiji, or Fushou, the daughter of Princess Yang'an, can only be these two." Jia Xu rarely said a word.

He is the only one who has been here in Luoyang for a while and is quite familiar with the way of life here.

"How do you know?" Liu Ming asked shamelessly.

"Tang Mao is a distant relative of His Majesty, and he can be regarded as a loyal minister of the royal family. Using his daughter to marry can deepen the relationship between the two, and at the same time ensure that the lord can be loyal to the Han Dynasty;

Not to mention Fu Shou, whether it is Fu Wan, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, or the royal status of Princess Yang'an, Fu Shou's marriage to the lord can win the lord very well. Jia Xu took a sip of tea with a smile.

When Jia Xu said that, Liu Ming understood.Looking around the situation of the Han Dynasty, these two are indeed the best candidates for marriage.

Just thinking about it carefully, Tang Shuang didn't know his age, but Fushou still vaguely remembered his age.

Tmd is only five years old this year, okay? !

God, you are playing me!Look, the fiancé is getting younger and younger! ?

If this continues, will the one-year-old fiancée appear! !

"Age is not a problem, even if the lord doesn't like it, it's even more of a problem. With their identities, they won't get married until they are old enough to leave the court. If they are left in Luoyang for a few years, the world may not look like that. Your Majesty needs What matters is your loyalty, my lord, your attitude, not the fact of an engagement." Cheng Yu knew this disciple too well, so he pointed it out.

After Liu Ming shrugged his shoulders, said some polite words, and went to appease his subordinates, he returned to his room, changed his clothes, and boarded the carriage directly to the palace.

Taking out his general badge, he had already been ordered by Xiao Huangmen to lead Liu Ming to the side hall immediately.

Don't expect to go to the harem, there are only four kinds of people who can go there: eunuchs, court ladies, concubines, and emperors; the imperial garden will also hold banquets, but there are more formal banquets there, so naturally it will not be held there tonight. feast.

Naturally, the emperor did not come, and the leaders were the last to arrive.Liu Ming was seated by Huangmen, and then he left alone.

The empty side hall was originally only for the emperor to eat alone. For tonight's family banquet, some seats were specially added.To put it bluntly, it is to place a few companion seats below the main seat.

Liu Ming's position was arranged at the first place on the left. This is the most honorable position, almost below one person and above ten thousand people. I don't know if this is what Liu Hong meant.

Not long after, two young children walked in.The eldest is ten years old, and the youngest is six years old.

The two came in and saw Liu Ming sitting there, and they came over to pay respects to Liu Ming as their nephews.

Only then did Liu Ming know that the two of them were his nephews in name, Liu Bian and Liu Xie, the sons of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.It was the first time meeting uncles and nephews, and Liu Ming also greeted them politely and chatted casually.

Liu Bian doesn't like talking very much, but he is respectful and courteous, and he is generous and upright, unlike the history's saying that he is dull; Liu Xie is a child at all, maybe he didn't intend to inherit the throne at all, he just wanted to be a happy prince. Too bad he was born in the wrong place.

There is no such word as renunciation in the royal family, and renunciation equals death.From ancient times to the present, this has always been the case, that is, the Qing Dynasty added an additional method, that is, "enclosure".

Not long after, two more girls came in.

The older one is less than seven years old, and the youngest is about four or five years old.At that moment, Liu Ming could only respond with a wry smile, secretly thinking that Jia Xu's words seemed to have come true...

The older one should be Tang Shuang, the concubine of that brat Liu Bian; the younger one should be Fu Shou, later Empress Fu, concubine of that brat Liu Xie.

Suddenly, I felt guilty of robbing other women in front of other men...but it was quite exciting!

Emperor Ling attended, and everyone stood up and saluted.

After some politeness, the food came up one after another... Meow is all warmed up! ?

There is no way, in order to ensure that the emperor is not poisoned, the prepared food must be eaten by a special eunuch, and it will be fine after half an hour before it can be served to the emperor.

So the emperor has never had a mouthful of hot food since he became emperor.

What they eat is southern rice, which is currently widely grown in the areas south of the Yangtze River.There are also some places in some areas further up, but the yield decreases as you go north, and the yield is not as good as corn after crossing the Yellow River.

But for Liu Ming, who had eaten corn and rice for more than a year, it was already a pleasant surprise.

The banquet started, it was actually a family banquet, and the atmosphere was still very serious.

When the emperor was eating, he had to look at him as if nothing had happened, and took the opportunity to pick up the bowls and chopsticks to eat.When the emperor puts down the bowls and chopsticks, he must put down the bowls and chopsticks immediately, and at the same time swallow the contents of his mouth whole.

This is completely comparable to the top ten tortures in the Qing Dynasty!

Liu Ming knew that the so-called emperor's family banquet was a feast of glory, and he enjoyed mental and physical torture... Looking back, he had to eat another meal at the post station before he could be full .

When the wine was in full swing, Liu Hong finally finished those polite words of "Heroes of the Han family" and "God Bless the Great Han".

Let's get down to business!

"My virtuous brother seems to be engaged?" Liu Hong asked casually.

"Being engaged to the great-grandson of the former Taiwei Qiao Xuan, the two parties are still young, so they haven't married yet." Liu Ming answered truthfully.

"That's it... If my brother doesn't mind being troublesome, how about arranging a marriage for you?" Liu Hong looked at Liu Ming slyly, and said with a smile.

Come on, in terms of your status, who would dare to refuse to arrange a marriage? !

"Young Master Ming doesn't change anything, it's all up to Brother Huang!" Liu Ming made a gesture.

"The two daughters on the opposite side of the virtuous brother are the loyal and virtuous people of the Han Dynasty. If the virtuous brother is attractive, how about choosing one? If they are all in love, fight for the brother and the virtuous brother!" Liu Hong said with a smile.

Alright, I really want to be engaged to my grandma...Boss, how did you know that these two little lolitas must be virtuous and virtuous people? !
