Han Shizu

Chapter 410 Yao Huachun

On February [-]nd of the fourth year of Qianyou, the day when the dragon raised its head, as before, the emperor Liu Chengyou went to the outskirts of Tokyo in person to carry out the symbolic first hoeing of the new year.Empresses of the harem, concubines, and civil and military ministers of the fifth rank and above in the capital all accompanied them.

Although it is a formality, Liu Chengyou also requires that the formality be done properly. Every courtier has to pick up a hoe and turn over the soil.One empress, two concubines, and the accompanying attendant, although they didn't use the delicate hand-wielding hoe, they planted a seedling seriously.

Now, unlike when it was in Jinyang, state affairs are becoming more and more complicated, and they cannot be separated from the management of the chief officials of each department.

After the spring plowing began, there were fewer imperial troops stationed in Tokyo, and many soldiers of the imperial guards in the two Yamen were sent back home to help their families during the farming season.Among these forbidden troops, there are mainly three groups of people. One is the original Hedong Army who followed Liu's father and son to enter the Central Plains with his family; and those around.

With the current national strength of the big man, it is a huge financial burden to support tens of thousands of professional soldiers. At the beginning of the country, there were enemies on all sides, and it was necessary to maintain a state of readiness for war at all times.In the past two years, the national conditions have gradually stabilized, and the surrounding areas have been stable. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty with the theme of "development of production", the army should also engage in farming when it is not a war.

Of course, this part of the forbidden army is all weaker in combat power.By the time the court returned, most of the day had passed.

In the Yaohua Palace of the imperial concubine Gao, Liu Chengyou washed up, dressed in unlined clothes, sat cross-legged on the couch, looked down at the fat circle around his waist, and said with an ugly expression: "This fat is in a ball, it is very tiring. !"

You know, even if Liu Chengyou didn't have eight-pack abs a few years ago, he still had four-pack abs.Now, it is out of shape.
The imperial concubine Gao also changed into clean clothes, took lotus steps lightly, twisted her plump delicate body, leaned on Liu Chengyou, put her hands on Liu Chengyou's belly, gently pinched the squeezed out soft flesh, and said with a delicate smile: " These are all proofs that the officials are diligent and diligent.”

On the stomach, Liu Chengyou is still quite sensitive. She makes it itchy, and he feels a little uncomfortable, and his face feels a little hot.

In terms of appearance and temperament, one empress and two concubines have their own advantages and disadvantages, but in terms of body shape, the noble concubine Gao is the most outstanding, and she has maintained the habit of practicing martial arts for a long time, coupled with her remarriage, she has rich experience, and has always been favored by Liu Chengyou.

Steadying his mind, Liu Chengyou resisted the temptation of the young woman beside him, moved his shoulders a few times, and laughed at himself: "After all, I am not a farmer, although the hoe is not heavy, but if you swing it hundreds of times, it is more tiring than practicing martial arts! "

"Official, let me help you Rourou!" Gao's winking eyes were like silk, and his breath was like blue, almost biting Liu Chengyou's ear.

It was still two months away from summer, but at this moment, Liu Chengyou's heart was hot, but was gradually aroused by his imperial concubine, and his mouth was a little dry.

"En." Responding softly, Liu Chengyou turned around and stretched his arms and lay down on the couch, as if he was a mermaid.

Close your eyes and enjoy the massage service personally provided by the imperial concubine, which is really beneficial to the relief of physical fatigue.

Liu Chengyou's expression of contentment was revealed, but the concubine did not intend to let him go, while she was pinching him, she asked as if unintentionally: "This time the official returned to the palace, why did he come directly to my Yaohua Palace? Don't be afraid of the queen."

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou opened his eyes, took a deep breath, closed them again, and said lightly: "It's been a long time since you gave me a massage. Come here and enjoy it."

Liu Chengyou's tone made the heat in the couch room two points colder. Of course Gao felt it, and felt that he had said something wrong.The smile on Yu's face became even more beautiful, and she leaned over, and tapped her red lips on Liu Chengyou's neck, "Official, my slave made a mistake, please punish me."

"You women"

When Liu Chengyou came out of Yaohua Hall, his legs were still a little soft, he was standing in the corridor, looking at the blue sky, it was at noon time, the sun was setting, and a few clouds were floating, already dyed yellow.

At this time, Liu Chengyou only felt that he had reached the realm of idly watching the clouds and clouds in the sky, and his state of mind was extremely broad, as if he could accommodate everything
"Officials, are you going back to the Chongzheng Hall?" Zhang Dejun couldn't help asking, although it was difficult to understand Liu Chengyou's state at this time, but he could feel his exhaustion.

"Go to Xuanwumen to have a look!" Liu Chengyou nodded first, but then changed his mind.

Zhang Dejun hurriedly ordered someone to bring the chariot and sedan chair, and took the lead to open the way.

Xuanwu Gate is the last gate of the palace city in the north of Han Dynasty. The city gate is thick and over four feet high, and the defense is very tight. There is a battalion of Ouchi guards who are stationed on duty all year round.The commander of the garrison, named Li Jian, is an old general from Hedong. Since he entered Tokyo, he has been serving as the capital of Xuanwumen.

Over the past few years, he has never changed his post, but this rank has been promoted twice, and now he is still leading the governor of Leizhou.

This person is not very old, but he is full of patience, can endure loneliness, and has a good temper. He is stationed in the palace all the year round, meticulous in doing things, and never complains.

When Liu Chengyou arrived, Li Jian was on duty, checking his post.

"Yuan Hui!" Liu Chengyou looked Li Jian up and down, facing his calm appearance, and asked, "You have been stationed at this gate since the 12th year of Tianfu, and you are still a Marquis until now. If you are an ordinary general, You have already been full of resentment, why are you so calm?"

Facing Liu Chengyou's curious eyes, Li Jian saluted with a very standard posture, neither humble nor overbearing said: "Your Majesty, the general came from a humble background, with limited self-knowledge ability and shallow knowledge. As an official, I am already worried. Don't dare to be negligent, don't think of him!"

"Moreover, the last general has always had no ambitions and does not seek to make progress. Fortunately, he was trusted by Gaozu and His Majesty, and he was appointed to the post of the city gate. I am very grateful. I can only fulfill my duty and guard the Xuanwu Gate for Your Majesty in order to repay the king. En! So, how can there be any complaints!"

"I didn't misunderstand you!" After listening to his words, Liu Chengyou said: "How many generals and schools among the [-] forbidden troops can say that? I see you, Li Yuanhui, although you are not well-known outside, but inside you If you show them off, you will have general talent!"

Hearing this, Li Jian immediately bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I dare not be the last general!"

"I said you deserve it, and you deserve it! Remember, being too humble is pride." Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows and said forcefully.

Seeing this, Li Jian's expression remained calm, and he just saluted.

Liu Chengyou was even more satisfied with his performance. Young generals in the army, in terms of calmness and restraint, are not like Li Jian. Even Zhao Kuangyin sometimes glared.Liu Chengyou has been observing him for several years, it's his nature.Of course, if he is good at disguising, he will be convinced, but it is basically impossible, just such a city gate envoy, with a hammer
The most obvious shortcoming is probably lust!But on Liu Chengyou's side, it's not a big problem.
