Han Shizu

Chapter 1302 "Social Practice"

Because Emperor Liu was drunk all night, the imperial camp stayed in Dezhou for another day. Of course, it was not too much delay for the emperor's itinerary.After all, the main reason for this trip was the Northern Expedition, but Emperor Liu's mind was on the people's livelihood in Hebei, and he didn't want to be quick.

In the past, Emperor Liu really did not really pay attention to the living conditions of the people of the Han Dynasty under the background of wartime when the battle ahead was fiercely progressing.

Therefore, in the process of this tour, every time I go to a state, I have to stay for a day or two, and go to the countryside to see it in person, unlike the past.

Jingzhou, Nanpi County, Dadian Township.

The autumn wind whipped up layers of wheat waves, and on the dirt road beside the golden wheat field, there were a few light carriages parked, and hundreds of Kong Wu's fierce and powerful Ouchi guards, dressed in ordinary clothes, guarded the surrounding area.

Among them, there was a new face, the young officer and soldier named Aries crying at the banquet, who was taken care of by Emperor Liu. In a word, his fate was changed and he was kept by his side as a guard.

Although he was only a low-level bodyguard, for a young man from Guanzhong who was born in the lowest class and could only rely on the battlefield to seek fame and fortune, this was the only opportunity in his life.

That's the Ouchi bodyguard!He is still the bodyguard hand-picked by the emperor. It can be said that the future of this Aries has brightened up all of a sudden, making the other four people unable to help being envious and jealous. After all, it is still the advantage of young people.

On the edge of the field, Emperor Liu was dressed as an old farmer, with his sleeves rolled up high, and a bamboo hat on his head. Although the dress was down-to-earth, judging from the exposed white arms, it was obvious that he was not doing such a thing. people.

Aries was lucky enough to be on the side, with a tall and straight body, a serious expression, a pair of sharp eyes, looking around, with his hands on the handle of the knife at his waist, as if to eliminate possible threats at any time.

Noticing his appearance, Emperor Liu couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Aries, take it easy, you're so nervous, it makes me a little uncomfortable!"

Hearing this, Aries showed a simple and honest smile on his face, a little embarrassed: "The little one has no shape, I startled the holy car, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Haha!" Emperor Liu pointed at Aries, shaking his head and laughing: "Don't hold it up, it doesn't sound like what you said, those rules should be learned, but be more natural and relaxed. You look like this, but It’s like being on the march to a war.”

Aries replied: "Your Majesty, on the way back from Mobei, we are like this. Enemies may appear at any time, and we may face danger at any time, so we dare not be negligent, otherwise we may lose our lives!"

Listening to his words, Emperor Liu nodded and suddenly asked, "Can you cut wheat?"

Aries was a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to do field work since I was a child, and I don't like to do it. I usually help herd cattle and sheep. However, harvesting wheat doesn't look difficult."

"If you feel nervous, go to the field to help harvest, relax and relax!" Emperor Liu handed a sickle beside him to Aries, and ordered.

"Yes!"

Aries got orders, without the slightest hesitation, he untied his knife, took off his coat, tidied up a bit, and went down to the ground with a sickle in his hand. His demeanor looked a bit reckless, but his movements were swift and efficient.As a result, another strong laborer was added to the autumn harvest farm work in Dadian Township.

"Your Majesty, you seem to be very optimistic about this son?" Li Shaoyou, also dressed as an old farmer, accompanied Emperor Liu, heard the exchange just now, noticed Emperor Liu's expression, and asked softly.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu looked indifferent, and replied a little casually: "It's just a chance, it's just a chance, whether you can grasp it, and what achievements you can make in the future depends on yourself!"

Li Shaoyou nodded to Emperor Liu's bland reaction, and sighed in admiration: "Your Majesty can decide the world with one word, let alone this mere kid, but for this kid, he is a blessing from several generations of cultivation!"

"Brother You, what are you talking about? You can't do without compliments! You guys are so sweet and sweet, but, if you listen to too much, your bones will be crisp." Hearing his words, Emperor Liu glanced at you. Li Shaoyou took a look.

Emperor Liu had clearly noticed that even if he was as close as Li Shaoyou, his awe of him was getting worse day by day. Specifically, he flattered and flattered him, and he didn't dare to offend him.

Emperor Liu said so, but Li Shaoyou was steady, neither surprised nor surprised, and said with a smile: "I'm just telling the truth!"

Emperor Liu smiled, pointed at the white sheep stuck in the wheat field, and said: "I don't like farming, I don't like working hard, a country slut, so stubborn, bold and cautious, such a person is restless, and he is not an ordinary person. It's not a disaster, it's a capable minister, with a little training, maybe the court will have one more capable person in the future!"

"Your Majesty's wisdom in knowing people and employing them is admirable!" Duke Shou Guo licked again.

Among the acres of fields, there is a scene of harvesting in full swing. Apart from the local farmers in the township, they are the princes and daughters of the big man.Today, Emperor Liu came out with his accompanying sons and daughters to carry out some social practice.

The princes are fine, even the princesses, those slender and white hands that don't touch the spring water, should have plucked strings and played feather merchants, but they were used to do farm work, so Emperor Liu couldn't bear it.More importantly, Emperor Liu really didn't put on a show, arranged for everyone and set tasks.

Although the local farmers are devoted to their work, they can't help being curious about these noble people who are obviously going to the countryside to experience life.

"I still remember more than 20 years ago, when I was still in Jinyang. At that time, the first emperor was sitting on the edge of the field. I, my eldest brother, and the civil and military officials in Hedong were digging the soil." Looking at the scene in the field, especially the clumsy movements of the children , Emperor Liu's eyes showed a little nostalgia: "Now, the one sitting by the field is replaced by Zhen!"

The emperor began to reminisce about the past, so of course Li Shaoyou had to cooperate. Of course, he also experienced it himself, and sighed with emotion: "Before I knew it, so many years have passed! I still remember that it was the year when the army was raised in Hedong. On February [-]nd, when the spring rains started, the land was still muddy, and all the ministers and workers were complaining, but His Majesty was the only one who was meticulous and hardworking. At that time, some people praised His Majesty's wonder."

Hearing what Li Shaoyou said, Emperor Liu still nodded his head, but at the end of what he said, he couldn't help showing a strange look on his face. What "sighs His Majesty's wonder" was Li Shaoyou's free play again.

Just like Emperor Liu's "Records" which is already being compiled now, the whitewashing words for Emperor Liu are too obvious, and Emperor Liu himself can't help but be surprised. Is that mythical figure really me? ?Have you ever had those strange experiences and talked about those philosophies?
"Brother You, I heard that your family has started to believe in Buddhism?" Emperor Liu continued chatting with Li Shaoyou.

Hearing this, Li Shaoyou was startled. He carefully looked at Emperor Liu's expression, but he couldn't see anything.I wondered quickly in my heart, is it possible to strengthen the suppression and control of Buddhism again?

While thinking about it, Li Shaoyou replied involuntarily: "Your Majesty, you know that I am not happy if you have no sex, and you will not be happy if you have no wine. How can you believe in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? It's just the women in the mansion who have the habit of paying respects to Buddha. , must be taught a lesson, the minister is a civil servant, there is nothing to feel guilty about, so there is no need to ask for these things."

"You don't need to be nervous!" Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu patted Li Shaoyou on the shoulder, and said with a light smile, "One must have some beliefs, and I have no prejudice against Buddhism, as long as I can stick to my duty and abide by the court's management ordinance.

However, it's almost 20 years. I haven't heard a report for a long time on what the current situation of Buddhism is and how effective the government's governance is!Along the way, there seems to be no shortage of places where incense is at its peak! "

"It's my negligence!" Li Shaoyou immediately said: "The minister will conduct an inventory of the temples and temples under the rule of Hebei Dao, so as not to relapse into old ways!"

Emperor Liu smiled and didn't say anything. He could only let Li Shaoyou guess by himself, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Father! I'm back!"

An excited call came from not far away. Looking back, it was the eldest princess Liu Jia, who was driving an empty carriage, slowly coming.The horse is the royal horse that came with him, and Liu Jia is specially transporting the harvested wheat to be sun-dried.

"Father, hurry up and help, we have to send it off again!" Reining in his horse, Liu Jia jumped down and said to Emperor Liu.

"My big lady is not polite at all to support his father!" Emperor Liu smiled at Li Shaoyou.

Li Shaoyou naturally laughed along with him, and at the same time secretly praised the eldest princess in his heart. She diverted Emperor Liu's attention and relieved him of his embarrassment.

Soon, Emperor Liu also started working, physical work, moving wheat
