Han Shizu

Chapter 1690 Jigsaw Puzzle
The soft autumn light passed through the gate of the palace, entered the palace, and shone on Emperor Liu, warm and very comfortable.In front of the gate of the palace, Emperor Liu was lying on the ground covered with silk cloth, his buttocks were raised, and he was busy with concentration.

Qiu Yang reflected on Emperor Liu's face, and he looked very serious. Such concentration was rarely seen in him.What attracted him was a jigsaw puzzle. This kind of pattern did not come from the creativity of Emperor Liu, but was precisely created by Qi Guogong Liu Yun.

In Dahan, it is also a new thing.Liu Yun is a trendy player of the Han Dynasty, and has driven various trends in the court and the public. Jigsaw puzzles are the most recognized by Emperor Liu. Thanks to their intelligence, after several years of accumulation, they have also gained No small promotion.

At least, it has entered the education system of Dahan, and it is a kind of education and entertainment highly praised by the Ministry of Rites. It can have a considerable effect on children's enlightenment education.

Of course, what Emperor Liu approves, the following will naturally have to respond.Moreover, this is not limited to enlightenment education, this is a plaything suitable for all ages, at least it has a more positive effect than those gambling games that are popular in the upper class.

Therefore, in the past few years, toys such as jigsaw puzzles have entered thousands of households, especially the upper class.What His Majesty the Emperor is playing is obviously the best advertisement.

At this time, what Emperor Liu was playing with was a jigsaw puzzle made by the Shaofu. For the emperor to play with, it was naturally special, not only in the exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship, but also in the content.

This jigsaw puzzle is also a map, a complete map of the Han Dynasty, and it also includes grasslands, outer northeast, Tubo, and Nanyang. Of course, places other than Kyushu should be more general, a few modules can be solved.

Its delicacy is particularly prominent in the presentation of traditional Chinese territory. National boundaries, Taoist boundaries, and state boundaries are all clearly demarcated, which also reflects the establishment and governance division of the Han Dynasty for many years.

It has to be said that Dahan has invested a lot of energy in the study of geography, and his cartography technology has become more sophisticated and mature, and his distance calculations have become more accurate.

In this regard, the imperial court has already formed a tradition, and has also maintained a mature geographical research team. For decades, through the legs, after actual visits, measurements, and summaries, the huge territory of the Han Dynasty is finally clearly presented. in front of the world.

The Shaofu made this mosaic of the map of the Han Dynasty, and after it was presented to Emperor Liu, it was highly praised, and he directly ordered them to mass-produce and promote it, so that all the courtiers passed the map modules to make it more Really and meticulously feel the strength and greatness of the empire.

Emperor Liu has been working on this picture for half a day, and he has only completed less than one-third of it. However, his piecing together is also regular, and it is carried out along the veins of the big man from rise to prosperity, from separatist regime to unification. along the lines of expansion over the past few decades.

Accompanied by this process, the memory of the magnificent and turbulent years at the beginning also reappeared, which aroused Emperor Liu's many emotions. When encountering critical points, it is inevitable to have some reminiscences, and the speed will naturally not be fast.

As the module representing Chenzhou was installed by Emperor Liu, Emperor Liu stood up, his blood surged, his head was a little dazed, his eyes were dark, and his body shook involuntarily.

This frightened Yan Tuo, who was on the side, hurried forward, supported Emperor Liu, and said nervously and caringly: "Officials, be careful!"

Emperor Liu didn't push away the support arrogantly this time. He closed his eyes and took it easy for a while. After the dizziness passed and his eyes became bright again, he stood firm, raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and said, "I'm fine, look It’s still too involved!”

"Officials, let's call the imperial physician to take a look!" Yan Tuo was a little worried, and suggested aloud.

"No need!" Emperor Liu resolutely refused, and said in a soft voice: "It's a small problem, just let it go, there is no need to do anything more, otherwise it will spread, and I don't know what troubles will be caused!"

"Officials, the body of the dragon is the most important thing!" Yan Tuo hesitated.

"You want to go against my will?" Emperor Liu became a little impatient.

Seeing this, Yan Tuo knelt down immediately, and replied excitedly: "Even if the officials reprimand and scold the younger ones, the younger ones dare not be careless. The younger ones still have to speak out. The official family is the most important thing in the country, and the world is safe , keep your body healthy, don't neglect it!"

Such a sincere confession brought tears to his eyes. Although there were elements of acting, Emperor Liu was moved by Yan Tuo's loyalty.

I couldn't speak the heavy words anymore, sighed, waved my hands and said: "You people! You just like to make a big fuss, but after crouching for a long time, the normal body reaction, after you talk about it, it is so serious, there is no need ! Get up, I am no longer sick!"

Hearing this, Yan Tuo raised his head and looked at Emperor Liu eagerly. Seeing that he really had no abnormal reaction, he hesitated and replied: "Yes!"

However, he still watched Emperor Liu carefully, for fear that something unexpected happened to him, which would make Emperor Liu feel both loyal and ridiculous.

Returning his attention to the jigsaw puzzle under his feet, Emperor Liu embraced his arms, looked at his results with a smile on his face, and said: "The recovery of Hunan seems to have happened around the seventh year of Qianyou! In a flash, 30 years The time is almost over, it is really long!"

"I remember that when Hunan was first restored, it was still devastated and devastated. Now, it is already a land of fish and rice!" Emperor Liu sighed again.

Seeing that Emperor Liu was immersed in reminiscing about the past again, and there was a hint of self-satisfaction in his words, Yan Tuo naturally did not disappoint, and complimented: "This is all thanks to His Majesty's hard work!"

"This credit should not fall on me. It is the credit of Bian Guixuan and Zan Jurun, who ruled Xiangxiang!" Emperor Liu shook his head and said modestly.

As soon as a thought arose, he told Yantuo: "Don't forget these meritorious ministers. Pass an edict to let the Hunan government build a temple in Changsha for Bian and Zan Ergong with statues and steles to commemorate them!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, where is Zhou Baoquan now?" Emperor Liu asked curiously, remembering Zhou Baoquan who had "Zhou Mu Zhixian" in the Han Dynasty.

Yan Tuo was stunned for a moment, this touched his blind spot of knowledge, but he couldn't directly say that he didn't know, relying on a little vague memory, he replied: "Guangping Hou seems to be an official in Yanshan South Road, so I'll go Inquire!"

"No need!" Emperor Liu raised his hand: "With such a virtuous mother, the children and grandchildren who are educated should be good. Come to think of it, you should be a good official!"

In fact, Zhou Baoquan is not only a good official, but also capable. He is now serving as the magistrate of Jizhou.

At the beginning, after Emperor Liu gave special grace and ended the life of raising horses in the palace, the mother and son settled down in the capital, because they were also regarded as a descendant, and they were awarded the title of Marquis of Guangling.

Under the guidance of Zhou's mother Yan, he was eager to learn and behaved well. Later, when he was still 26 years old, he passed the Jinshi examination and entered the official career. Now, he gradually has the tendency to become a famous official of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, Zhou Baoquan was not alone. Among those who surrendered to the big man, there were also many talented people with outstanding abilities.Another representative figure is Meng Chang's eldest son, Meng Xuanzhe, who was not only appointed by the imperial court, but also used in high positions. Now he is the commander of Xiazhou soldiers and horses, and he is assisting Wang Tong in suppressing bandits in Yulin Road. He is a civil and military man. A double character.

It can be seen from this that although Emperor Liu is a taboo master who still engages in liquidation from time to time, and even spy politics, the political atmosphere of the Han Dynasty is relatively relaxed, and the Han Dynasty as a whole is still a very inclusive empire.

"This puzzle is good and meaningful!" Emperor Liu took two steps forward, stepped on the Gyeonggi plate, and said, "However, it is not detailed enough at the prefecture level. Send an oral order to the Shaofu to let them Think of a way to bring this puzzle to the county level."

Although it is only at the county level, the work that needs to be increased has multiplied. Dahan now has 1329 counties. To make this more than 1000 fine puzzle modules, the amount of work involved can be imagined Know.

However, if it can be successful, it will be another masterpiece with extremely great significance.
