I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Outside the north city wall and beside the moat, the fighting cockhouses lined up in a row were much quieter and deserted than before.

Years later, Zhijinwu sent newly trained patrol soldiers to "sweep" several times.

Many young men who made trouble and scoundrels with unclean hands and feet were imprisoned.

The rest are just dissolute teenagers who have passion but nowhere to spill it.

With fewer people, even fewer people came here to fight cocks, so much so that half of the cockfighting huts by the moat were closed.

At this time, Liu Bing and seven or eight familiar young men were sitting by the river side by side, making jokes, making loud noises, and throwing stones into the river from time to time.

Several large bottles of dendrobium xuan wine and several large bags of meat wrapped in lotus leaves were passed around in their hands. The drunken young man was already red in the face.

Liu Bing was now not only a six-hundred-stone Dahonglu traveler, but also a genuine Marquis of Haihun. His status had already changed from what it was before.

The Marquis of Haihun is a prince, and he is granted the title when he goes to a prince's state. A corresponding prince's residence will be built in Chang'an City.

Now the emperor only issued an edict to establish the Haihun Hou Kingdom, but Liu Bing has not yet been granted the title; while the Hou Kingdom's residence is still being renovated, Liu Bing is still living in Pinganli Jiazilu.

Although his salary has not kept up with him, Liu Bing is already a genuine Han lord, so he has no choice but to run away.

There are [-] households in the residence of Haihunhou, and each household has to pay [-] yuan in rent every year, which works out to [-] yuan.

Such a sum of money, if used to buy Xuan wine, would be enough to drown his father-in-law, Xu Guanghan, in it.

After receiving such a generous title, Xu Guanghan's wife no longer had any complaints.

Although Liu Bingji's status was much respected, he would come to Beichengguo to catch up with old friends whenever he had the opportunity, just like before.

If you have to say there is any difference, there is one, that is, the shots are much more generous.

And the promiscuous young man who was familiar with him was very happy to be a hero, and he didn't feel uncomfortable, let alone any fear.

In their eyes, Liu Bing was still just the "companion" who would scold his mother when he was in a hurry.

This is the true temperament of the young man. If it were placed elsewhere, neither they nor Liu Bing would be scolded as Meng Lang and crazy.

"I'm already ill. I heard that the county magistrate is going to debate scriptures with those rotten scholars in Shiqu Pavilion in the next few days?" Young Man A asked.

"Well, all the great scholars in the world are here." Liu Bing's ears were about to get calloused after listening to this matter for the past few days.

"Can the county magistrate win over those old scholars?" Young Man A asked again.

"Of course we can win. The county magistrate is a talented person and he will definitely win." Young Man B said eagerly.

"I didn't ask you, do you want you to show off here? You are already sick and now you are the Marquis of Haihun, the nephew of the current county magistrate!"

Young man A spoke with pride, and the other young men quickly agreed, and then took turns taking a few sips of wine.

"In my opinion, the county magistrate can win, but I'm afraid it won't be easy. Even those great scholars are difficult to deal with." Liu Bingji said with a smile.

"Difficult to deal with? If I were Chang Yilang under the magistrate's command, I would definitely give the magistrate an idea and let him ambush a group of swordsmen and axemen outside Shiqu Pavilion..."

"If those old scholars don't know how to praise, hehe... they can rush in immediately and kill them all in a quarter of an hour!"

"When the time comes, let alone the old and rotten scholars, even the scholars are gone. Who dares to confront His Majesty again?"

Young Man A's "lofty remarks" attracted a burst of agreement from other dissolute young men, but Liu Bing just laughed and said nothing.

If the emperor could have done this long ago, he would have done it long ago, why wait until now.

Liu Bing has clearly seen that it is not easy to be the emperor, and he does not just do whatever he wants.

To say something treasonous, he would rather be the Marquis of Haihun than the emperor.

"I'm sick, and we are illiterate, but you have read the Confucian classics. Do you want to take the imperial examination in the future?" Young Man B brought the topic back to Liu Bingji.

"Me? I have already become an official, so I shouldn't be able to take the exam anymore." Liu Bing smiled and shook his head. If he could take the exam, he would also want to try, so changing his name was justifiable.

"You stupid duck, you are already a Marquis of Haihun because of your illness. If you don't have to take the imperial examination, you will naturally become a successful person in the future." Young Man A praised loudly again.

"Yes, yes, yes, there is no need to take the imperial examination. If I become the chief of a government office in the future, we will be removed as subordinates." Young Man Yi said excitedly.

"It makes sense, don't forget each other as long as you are rich and noble." Young man A took a sip of Xuan wine and shouted.

"I want to be your subordinate to detect thieves."

"I want to be the gatekeeper."

"I want to supervise thieves, please don't rob me!"

The noisy voices of the young people were getting louder and louder, and they had long forgotten about the imperial examination and the Shiqu Pavilion debate.

Liu Bing no longer seemed embarrassed, and he accepted everything without any fear or worry. It's not that Liu Bing has any conspiracy in mind, it's just that he came here under the emperor's order.

The emperor not only used the imperial examination system to recruit talents in the court, but also recruited talents among the people to do several important things.

Although no news has been revealed to the outside world, once these things are announced in a few months, it will cause a lot of turmoil and discussion.

During this time, Liu Bing and the ranger Guo Kai had separated.

Just to show up among the naughty boys and rangers in Beicheng City, and to prepare for the next big thing.

In the words of the emperor, this is called "blowing the wind"!
  At this time, Liu Bing had seen that the young men had had enough trouble, so he took a leather wine bottle and took a deep sip of wine.
  Then, he very smoothly brought the topic back to the direction he had prepared in advance.

"Do you know what the situation in the Western Regions is like?" Liu Bingjie asked.

"I heard that there is a lot of yellow sand in the sky. It blows non-stop and you can eat a mouthful of sand with just one mouthful." Young Man A said.

"I also heard that Hu Shang said that there are cattle and sheep all over the place, and you can eat meat every day. It is difficult to eat sunflower vegetables." Boy B continued.

"The Huns often come to plunder the trade routes. It's hard to live a peaceful life." Young man C shook his head and said.

"I said that the girl from the Western Region still had a strange smell. I don't know if it's true or not." The young man Ding asked with a blushing face.

The young people talked about the appearance of the Western Region in their minds, full of excitement and excitement, which seemed to make them more excited than the strong alcohol.

When they had said enough and stopped talking, Liu Bingji began to talk about what he had seen and heard in the Western Regions during those few months.

A vast expanse of sand sea, oasis with lush water and grass, merchants in different clothes, Hu dialect with southern and northern accents, many crops from the west of the Western Regions...

A Western Region full of exotic flavor, fresh and lively, slowly unfolded in the eyes of the young people with the help of Liu Bingji's language.

Compared with the boring debate in Shiqu Pavilion, this living Western Region is much more interesting.

Ordinary people will definitely regard the Western Region as a bad land, but for the young people here, it is full of imagination.

After more than half an hour, Liu Bing stopped. It was not that he had finished speaking what was in his heart, but he just left some time for the teenagers to vent.

"Why don't you take the imperial examination? It's better to go to the Western Regions to earn some fame and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty." Young Man A stood up and threw a stone into the distance.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ripples spread out from the lake. At the same time, it constantly impacted the hearts of everyone present.

"It's a pity that we don't have this opportunity. The Western Region is thousands of miles away. Not to mention we have no capital, and we don't even have the documents to get out of the customs." Young Man A said in despair.

"Don't worry, there is always a chance. The county magistrate said that the big man will soon have some achievements in the Western Regions." Liu Bing already comforted with a smile.

"Seriously?" All the teenagers looked at Liu Bingji and asked.

"Seriously, this day is not far away." Liu Bing said seriously.

Later, Haihun Hou Liu Bing was already talking to the young people about the blueprint of the Western Regions in his heart under the gradually setting sun.

And this blueprint is also the blueprint in today’s emperor’s mind.

It won't take long for this blueprint to unfold in the hearts of countless young men in Beicheng City, guiding them to look in the direction of the Western Region.

At that time, the time has come.

This is the big man Liu He wants. As a Han citizen, he should not only have the option of reading scriptures and becoming an official.

Regardless of Kong Anguo, Meng Ban, or Liu Bing, their activities in Chang'an City were actually seen by Liu He.

Everything is under his control.

When the setting sun hangs on the edge of the city wall, when Kong Anguo puts down the pen in his hand, when Meng Ban earnestly persuades Meng Xing to succeed, when Liu Bing has ignited the flame of yearning for the Western Regions...

Liu He stood on Danqi above the North Tower, overlooking the entire Chang'an City.

Sunset, heartbroken people in the horizon.

Standing here, he naturally couldn't see the changes in every corner, but he clearly knew what kind of changes were taking place in this big city.

It's like a medical officer with excellent medical skills. As long as he touches a person's pulse, he can know the whole body of that person.

After Liu He kept looking a little dizzy, he finally turned around and looked at the location of Shiqu Pavilion.

Under the layers of eaves, only the top of Shiqu Pavilion can be seen, which is not outstanding.

At this time, the cabinet should be about to disperse, and Shiqu Pavilion will fall into a quiet night again.

But tomorrow, Shiqu Pavilion will have its busiest day.

"I have been waiting for a long time. The great scholars in the world can come and kill you." (End of this chapter)
