Destiny Only Han

eight o'clock.

The royal lantern floats depart on time from Anmen of Changle Palace and circle Chang'an along the main road.

What followed were the lantern floats in various counties and counties in the empire, which were different from the royal floats that were majestic but had no special features but only highlighted a moat. The highlight of the floats in each county was a local characteristic.

For example, pandas and green bamboos in Yizhou, Bashu, galloping horses, cattle and sheep in Jiuyuan in Yunzhong, carp and wheat ears in Central Plains counties, rice and tea in Jiangnan and Lingnan...

And so on in various poses and with different expressions, contending for splendor.

Tonight Chang’an City Jinwu can’t help it, it’s naturally empty for thousands of people, and in order to let the common people have a good time, Liu Ying specially hung colored lights along the road, all the way along the Weishui River to the east, across the Bashui Bridge to Xinfeng City!
Although it cost tens of millions of dollars, Cao Shen's liver hurts just thinking about it, but it shows the prosperity of the world, and spending a few dollars is nothing.

Although it cost a lot of money, Liu Ying conservatively estimated that the economic benefits created by watching the lanterns this night may only be several times the government's investment!
More importantly, all the stall expenses of small businessmen and hawkers went into the private pockets of Shaofu!
That alone is worth millions!

On the palace city, Liu Ying was wearing a crimson auspicious dress, covered with black tulle, and her ears were filled with the sound of gongs and drums. Looking far away, she could see thousands of lights and towers, a world of clouds and smoke for tens of miles, and the city was full of lights , The sound of flute and drum.

Liu Ying looked up at the sky, and saw the full moon like a disk, she murmured softly:

"When will the moon come in the blue sky? I'll stop drinking today and ask. People can't get to the bright moon, but the moon travels with people. It's as bright as a flying mirror near Danque, and the green smoke is exhausted. It's clear and bright. But see the night from the sea. Come on, Ning knows that there is nothing in the clouds. The white rabbit smashes medicine for autumn and spring, who is Chang'e living alone next to? People today do not see the moon in ancient times, but this moon once shines on the ancients. The ancients are like flowing water, and they all see the bright moon. When the song meets the wine, the moonlight shines in the golden cup..."

Behind him, Lu Yu clapped vigorously.

Liu Bang also praised softly: "Good poems, good poems, well-spoken, it seems that the literary spirit of our old Liu family has fallen on you alone!"

Lu Zhi looked surprised, and couldn't help but reached out and touched Liu Bang's forehead: "Is there no fever? Could it be that the sun came out from the west, and he praised his son in front of so many people? It's really strange!"

Liu Bang: "..."

After all, the old father always worried that his son would be proud and complacent, so Liu Bang always liked to pour cold water on him, and he would not praise him too much.

At this moment, when Lu Zhi said it, Liu Bang was a little ashamed and annoyed.

He squinted his eyes: "Naigong just boasted, what do you want?"

Lu Zhi smiled all over his face: "It's nothing, just thank you for your compliment on my son's behalf!"

"Hmph!" Liu Bang curled his lips: "Your son? It's not like my son!"

Lu Zhi smiled silently, but looked at Liu Ying with a proud face. This is her son, and she has always been proud of it.

Although, the once proud has long been reduced to a cutie...

But this does not prevent Lu Zhi from being overwhelmed with maternal love at the moment. She wished she could hold Liu Ying in her arms, rub her head, and kiss her forehead as she did when she was a child...

Liu Ying was a little terrified, ready to break the atmosphere at the moment.

With his hands on his hips, he raised his head and looked like he was defiant: "There is only one stone in the world, and Qu Zi alone has eight buckets. I have one bucket, and everyone in the world will share one bucket!"

Qu Zi, of course it is Qu Yuan, but with his own strength, "Chu Ci" has become an existence that can be as strong as "The Book of Songs" without falling behind!

Liu Bang spat: "You get a fight, and everyone in the world shares a fight? Have you ever asked Nai Gong if he agreed?"

Lu Zhi also couldn't laugh or cry, wishing he could step forward and kick Liu Ying.

At this moment, the deep maternal love in her heart disappeared without a trace, and it became empty at this moment...

Liu Ying squinted and looked at Liu Bang contemptuously.

After all, in this historical line, the author of the famous song "The Wind Rises and the Clouds Are Flying" is Liu Ying, not Liu Bang!
So, why are you arguing with me... Liu Ying smiled disdainfully, and immediately jumped a step forward.

Liu Bang was shocked: "You still dare to hide?"

Nonsense, isn't it... Liu Ying took another step forward, dodging Liu Bang's flying kick for the second time.

Liu Bang sneered, and stretched his hand back: "Go, take a certain dragon's head!"

Liu Ying quickly put on a flattering smile: "Father, I was wrong! I dare you next time, bah, I won't dare next time! Believe me!"

Liu Bang made a Xizi holding a heart: "You, and your elder sister, have lost Naigong's 20 years of life!"

Liu Le: "..."

She swears, she hardly has any sense of presence tonight!

So, she was shot while lying down!
Hmph, it's all my brother's fault... Liu Le's Doudou eyes are full of anger.

Liu Ying pretended she didn't see anything, shook her head and said, "Actually, our Liu family has always had a good literary spirit, but it's just gathered around me and my fourth uncle."

Hearing Liu Ying mentioning herself, Liu Jiao hurried over: "Where is it, your fourth uncle and I, the light of the firefly, how can I compete with your bright moon?"

Liu Bang frowned: "Fourth brother, you don't have to! Although Liu Ying is the emperor, she will always be your nephew!"

A bit of embarrassment appeared on Liu Jiao's face.

After all, Liu Ying is getting older and belongs to the state-owned leader. He is no longer the childish young man in the past. Although he is Liu Ying's fourth uncle, he is Liu Ying's subject, a subject who allows Liu Ying to kill him!
The royal family has no family affection since ancient times, it is by no means just talk!

Liu Ying smiled: "Fourth Uncle reedited the "Book of Songs", and I am the assistant to revise the "Encyclopedia of Han Dynasty" and "History of Zhou". If anyone says that Fourth Uncle is the light of a firefly, I will never agree!"

Well, "History of Qin" is included in "History of Zhou", not only because Qin, which unified the world, existed for too short a time, but more importantly, it advocates a cycle of reincarnation, that is, the Zhou Dynasty flourished in the West, but was abandoned by the West. The dog army became the "Eastern Zhou Dynasty", and then was completely destroyed by the Western vassal state "Qin".

It is true that it prospers and dies by this.

As for Liu Ying's statement that the Liu family's cultural spirit is concentrated in him and Liu Jiao, it is actually true.

In the original historical line, Liu Jiao had a fifth grandson named Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang was hailed as the "ancestor of Chinese bibliography" by later generations!
Not only that, Liu Xiang has a son named Liu Xin, who is known as the new army of Western Han literature and the master of ancient Chinese classics in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Taiyan hailed him as "the biggest figure after Confucius"!
It has been a real cow for several generations!
On the other side, Liu Jiao couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when Liu Ying changed the self-proclaimed 'I' to 'Zhen'.

This is a formal title, indicating the distinction between monarch and minister.

But now that he has a large family, if Liu Ying feels unhappy because of Liu Bang's words, the loss outweighs the gain.

Now that Liu Ying changed 'I' to 'Zhen', she was telling him implicitly that she was very satisfied.

So Liu Jiao bowed to salute, and slowly took two steps back to stand with the high-ranking Liu family kings in the palace city, such as Liu Xi and Liu Jia, to watch the grand occasion of Shangyuan together.

Liu Bang sighed in his heart, feeling a little emotional but didn't want to say anything.

The same is true for Lu Zhi.

They still clearly remember the scene of Liu Ying sitting in front of Liu Jiao when she was a child, stuttering and reciting ancient prose with a sad face.

At that time, the nephew was a nephew, and the uncle was an uncle. Although Liu Jiao was often furious by Liu Yingqi, in general, the uncles and nephews were very close, and the bond between family members could be seen with the naked eye.

but now……

A libretto silently emerged in Lu Zhi's mind.

I regret being born in the emperor's house the most!

It was a play performed at the Chang'an Grand Theater. It was about Qin Shihuang who died in the Dune Palace in the past, but Li Si and Zhao Gaomi did not mourn.

This libretto comes from the mouth of the son Gao who sacrificed his own life for the lives of the whole family.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Yan who was playing glass balls with Liu Qi and others under the wall, and only hoped in his heart that their brothers could maintain the current family relationship in the future...

On the other side, after watching Zhang Busu copy the poems recited by Liu Ying, Liu Le suddenly frowned and asked, "Chang'e? Isn't it Heng'e?"

Liu Ying smiled, and glanced at Liu Heng standing beside Liu Ruyi invisibly.

This guy is all to blame, so the Han Dynasty changed all the words related to "Heng", such as Hengshan to Changshan, and Heng'e is no exception!

So Liu Ying said, "It's true that it's Heng'e, but isn't it better to call it Chang'e?"

Liu Le curled his lips, just looking like 'I don't read much, don't lie to me'.

Lu Yu suddenly asked, "Who is Heng'e?"

Liu Leman asked curiously: "Little Yu'er, don't you even know this?"

Lu Yu tilted his head: "Why should I know about Heng'e?"

Liu Le looked at Lu Wan and Yu Ji who were quietly hiding behind the crowd, and said with a smile, "Because, the story of Heng'e flying to the moon is a bedtime story that every child will listen to!"

"My dad told me that when I was little!"

Well, the story of Chang'e first appeared in "Gui Zang" in the Shang Dynasty, which belonged to oracle bone inscriptions, and then "Gui Mei" in "Yi Zhan" recorded Chang'e stealing the longevity medicine and divination to the moon, and later in "Shan Hai There have also been magical revisions of Chang'e flying to the moon in "Book of Songs" and "Chu Songs".

Therefore, the story of Chang'e flying to the moon is basically a story that has been passed down for 5000 years.

But Lu Wan hadn't heard of it...

After all, before he could remember anything, his parents died one after another, and then he was adopted by Taigong Liu. The key point is that Taigong Liu at that time was no longer in the mood to tell children bedtime stories...

Without him, no one would show even the slightest bit of affection for the little boy of his son's generation after experiencing the torment of Liu Bang in his childhood!

As for Yu Ji, she is simply lazy...

Therefore, facing Lu Yu's accusing gaze, Lu Wan and Yu Ji dodged more and more, especially Lu Wan, who wished they could just crawl into the cracks in the ground!
Lu Yu's cute little nose wrinkled, snorted coldly, and slowly stood beside Liu Ying, her round eyes full of anticipation: "My father doesn't talk about it, but the emperor's brother! Well, talk about it before going to bed!"

Liu Ying was confused.

After all, at his current age, he will explode at one point, and after a hard meal, he will enter the sage time. How can he be in the mood to tell a bedtime story!
So, it's all Lu Wan's fault!

But he couldn't take care of Lu Wan, so he could only find a way to go back and take care of Lu Wan's daughter!
