I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 105 The Small Disturbance on Bashang (for further reading)

One month after starting from Changyi City, that is, on May 29th, the welcoming group finally arrived near Bashang in the northeast of Chang'an.

Bashang, named because it is on the edge of the Bashui River, is high uplifted and has the advantage of being condescending compared with the riverside plains of the surrounding platforms.

Because of this geographical advantage, Bashang naturally became one of the important military sites to defend the east gate of Chang'an.

Emperor Xiaowen once sent generals to lead troops to garrison three important military sites outside Chang'an to guard against the invasion of the Huns.

These three places are Xiliu where Zhou Yafu garrisoned, Thorny Gate where Xu Han garrisoned, and Bashang where Liu Liju garrisoned.

For thousands of years, I don't know how many princes and generals have entered and left Chang'an from here.

Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Xiaohui, and Emperor Xiaowen all left their shadows here.

Liu He didn't know what stories he would add to Bashang.

At noon, the mighty welcome group finally arrived on the road.

The car under Liu He stopped slowly, and after the car came to a complete stop, Le Cheng brought Liu De and Bingji to the front of the car.

"Huh? Why did you stop now?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, this is Bashang, report ahead, the eunuch Shoucheng is leading the emperor's chariot, and is waiting for His Royal Highness in front, please get off the car and transfer to the emperor's chariot."

Liu He stood up and looked forward.

Sure enough, through the battle of cars, he saw a group of more luxurious cars appearing on the road hundreds of meters away.

The car that stood out from the crowd was a six-frame Anche.

Even if you don't talk about the extremely complicated decorations, but looking at the width, it is two or three times that of the Anche in Changyi Kingdom.

Liu He frowned, as if he smelled something bad.

I am still a prince at the moment, even if I arrive in Chang'an, I still have to be the crown prince for a few more days, am I qualified to take the emperor's car?

The answer is simple, obviously not.

Walking on thin ice is Liu He's mood at the moment.

You can be insane in small details, but in righteousness you must abide by etiquette.

This time is a good opportunity to show that you have no desire for power.

Liu He asked indifferently: "Why is the emperor's chariot here?"

Lecheng was asked such a sudden question, but he didn't know how to answer it.

This should be prepared by Taipu Temple.

As for why he did this, of course he wanted to please the King of Changyi.

The generals have all sent out seven-legged vehicles, so wouldn't it hurt the elegance to let the playful Changyi king ride in the emperor's car in advance?
Everyone wants to leave a good impression on the emperor, is it just human nature?

"This... This is naturally to welcome His Highness."

"The widow is the king of Changyi. He is just a mere prince. How can he ride in the emperor's car?"

Le Cheng was a little speechless.

"I'm afraid this is the Taipu Temple's respect for His Highness."

Lecheng hasn't turned the corner yet, isn't the king of Changyi who likes to have fun the most, why is he evasive?

Could it be that he is not satisfied with the emperor's car?
"If a gentleman does not observe propriety for three years, the propriety will be ruined; if a gentleman does not practice joy for three years, the pleasure will collapse. If the propriety collapses and the music will perish, the country will fail."

"Let's not talk about whether the widow will become the emperor in the future, but at this moment, the widow is still the king of Changyi, and the king of Changyi is a prince of the Han Dynasty."

"The princes drive four, and the emperor drives six. This is a ritual."

"The Taipu Temple used the emperor's chariot to welcome the widow. Could it be that he wanted to trap the widow in a situation of injustice?"

"His heart can be punished, his person deserves to die!"

Standing on the tall cart, Liu He threw this series of words domineeringly at several escorts.

Le Cheng and the others, who were under the car, couldn't lift their heads.

Along the way, Liu He deliberately kept a distance from them.

Apart from the daily greetings, there is not much conversation.

So much so that they all thought that Liu He was just a young man with nothing to do.

It's not necessarily insane, I'm afraid I'm ignorant.

But Liu He's sudden attack at this moment made them suddenly realize that the King of Changyi seemed to have read a lot.

"I'm stupid, I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Le Cheng immediately knelt down.

"I'm stupid, I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Bing Ji and Liu De also quickly knelt down.

This matter can be big or small, if the king of Changyi really wants to get to the bottom of it.

Even the envoys are inseparable from the relationship.

Damn Shoucheng wanted to flatter, but he actually patted the horse's leg.

Liu He looked at the few people kneeling on the ground, and after a long time, he slowed down and said, "You don't need to panic, there are so many things about the emperor's funeral, and there are bound to be mistakes."

"The widow has not boarded the car, it is not wrong, go and tell the servants, let them go back, the widow will take this car into the city."

As if being pardoned, Le Cheng quickly agreed and ran forward.

Not long after, Liu He saw that Tian Zi's car turned around and hurriedly retreated in the direction of Chang'an.

Liu He breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the escorts who were kneeling on the ground.

Bashang is less than [-] miles away from Chang'an, and no one wants to make any more twists and turns at this last moment.

"Your Highness, the imperial servant Shoucheng has already returned to Chang'an in the emperor's car, please Your Highness to drive." Le Cheng knelt on the ground and said.

"Don't worry, wait for the emperor's car to take a step ahead, and the widow will start driving again."

"promise."

A quarter of an hour later, Tianzi's car completely disappeared on the road.

At this time, Liu He ordered the driving group to continue to set off.

Lecheng didn't dare to be careless, he rode a horse and stood beside the cart, never leaving.

And Liu De and Bingji, the two deputy historians, returned to their original positions in front of Che Zhan.

Compared with the success of busy work, these two deputy historians are very leisurely.

Not to mention compared with Le Cheng, even compared with Li Han, they are much more relaxed.

As long as the official history can still act, these deputy histories are just backups.

"I'm going to Chang'an soon, I've been away from home for a long time, and I'm finally back, but the door of my house is right in front of me, why does Mr. Bing seem a little displeased?" Liu De joked.

Zongzheng Temple and Guanglu Temple intersect on a daily basis, so the two can be regarded as acquaintances.

However, due to the sensitivity of the meeting, Liu De has kept a distance from Bingji for more than a month.

Now, the mission of welcoming the driver is about to be completed, Liu Decai relaxes a little, and plans to have a chat with Bingji.

"I don't know where Mr. Liu saw my displeasure. Although the Son of Heaven is great, but the new king is waiting to be established, as a servant of a great man, why am I displeased?"

Bingji and Liu De are about the same age, although because they entered the official position later, their rank is lower.He was a lone ranger in the court. Although he had served as a subordinate to the general, he didn't have much contact with the rest of the Huo Party.

After going to court every day, Bingji would rush back home immediately, go in and out easily, and seldom participated in the banquets of his peers.

Over time, gossip about Bingji's fear of guilt spread in Chang'an City.

Only Liu De knew that Bingji and his wife were singing in harmony, and the fear of internal affairs was simply nonsense.

The most important reason for Bingji's reluctance to associate with other people is probably that he doesn't want to get too close to Huo Guang.

In fact, there are many such people in the DPRK: they look like the Huo Party, but in fact they don't give up on the Huo Party.

And these people are the people Liu De wants to win over.
