I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 54
On March [-]th, in a secluded courtyard of the Changyi Palace, it was extremely lively, with hundreds of people standing in small groups.

Most of these people are hired workers in the palace, and a small part are small traders who have business dealings with the palace.

They all came here early this morning after receiving orders from Yu Wuyou in the past few days.

Everyone didn't know what they were going to do in the palace, but they all came at the same time.

There was no other reason. Although people outside said that the King of Changyi was a somewhat insane person, he was very kind to them servants.

So even if the King of Changyi is not the King of Changyi, but just an ordinary hometown, for the sake of this kindness, they are willing to put down their work and come to help him.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or four, doing homework in the courtyard without restraint.

Two painters in their early forties and less than fifty met in the crowd. After saluting each other, they squatted in a corner and chatted.

"Second brother Guan, I didn't expect you to come here today. We haven't seen each other for some time."

"Third brother Zhang, who is right? The last time we met was two months ago. It was that time when I came to this palace to do five days of work, painting the beams that were peeling off the paint."

"Hey, my second brother has a good memory. Those few days were very pleasant, and I could drink a pot of wine every day after I finished my work."

"Yes."

The two and a half old men couldn't help but smacked their lips when they said this, as if they were reminiscing about the wine of those days.

Of course it is worth remembering, because it is not ordinary wine, but the wine brought to them by His Highness himself.

At dusk that day, Guan Er and Zhang San had just finished work, sitting by the pillars of the newly painted side hall, enjoying themselves with a plate of chopped pork liver and light homemade wine.

Unexpectedly, a young man in robes came in, brought them a jug of high-quality pepper wine, drank three cups with them, and ate a few mouthfuls of meat.

Only later did they know that the young man was His Royal Highness Changyi King.

Although since then, the two of them have never met His Highness face to face, but for several days, every day at dusk, someone will always bring them a pot of pepper wine on time.

"When you are tired from work, you should drink two sips of wine to relieve fatigue."

This is what Liu He sent someone to deliver to the two brothers.

From then on, "When you are tired from work, you should drink two sips of wine to relieve fatigue" has become the mantra of the two brothers.

It's just that this story is so bizarre that other people don't want to believe it, and often laugh at them. They just went to the Changyi Palace, and they were infected by the mad Changyi King.

This made their hearts itchy and painful as if they were bitten by a mosquito.

Today, the two parties met again in Changyi Palace, so naturally they had to talk about the situation that day to relieve their itch.

Guan Er and Zhang San looked up at the sky, smacked for a while, as if they drank half a catty of pepper wine, and their souls seemed to fly out of the sky in comfort.

When their souls fell to the ground again, they turned the conversation to today's affairs.

"Second Brother Guan, what do you think His Highness is looking for us today?"

"Maybe there is some work for us to do?"

"But there are too many people here today. With so many people, I'm afraid it's enough to rebuild the palace. Besides, there are a lot of people here, not all of them are workers."

Guan Er looked around, there were nearly a hundred people gathered in this side courtyard, and people came in from time to time.

Judging from their attire, these people seem to have mixed identities. There are craftsmen like me, small merchants who sell chickens and fish in the market, and even handymen who deliver water and dig out manure...

There are all kinds of teachings and nine streams.

Guan Er shook his head, unable to explain why. His family lived in a village twenty miles north of the city. He usually only did work in the surrounding villages. He only came to Changyi City to look for work during the off-season. wide.

Zhang San is different, he lives in Shangliu Lu in the north of the city, and his usual employers are either government offices in the city or rich landlords, so he has a lot more knowledge.

The reason why he wanted to ask Guan Er this question was not because he really wanted to ask, but because he just wanted to show off.

Zhang San made a gesture of "Come here with your ears", and when Guan Er got closer, he said: "When the people from the palace came to see me the day before yesterday, I asked a few words, and I heard some rumors."

Guan Er's slender Danfeng eyes flickered, and he asked hastily, "What's the wind?"

"I told you, don't tell me."

"I know, I know."

Zhang San looked around and saw that other people were also whispering to each other, then lowered his voice and said quite proudly: "Someone has stolen His Highness's money."

"what?!"

Guan Er suddenly looked like a rabbit whose buttocks had been stabbed by a hunter with an arrow. He jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhang San quickly lowered his head and tugged at Guan Er's sleeve, and said nervously, "Second Brother Guan, keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

It was hard to get Guan Er to squat down again after pulling and persuading him.

"Third brother Zhang, are you trying to deceive your elder brother? Who is this highness? But in the sky above our Changyi country, which guy who has eaten the guts of a tiger dares to extort his money? He thinks this is not good. Eat, or do you think this hemp is not good for you to wear?"

"Hey, you are ignorant now, aren't you? It's true that His Highness is the ruler of Changyi Kingdom, but it's just a day when it doesn't rain. See how many times His Highness can show up in the country every year. He and The statues in the temple are not too different, they are just decorations."

Zhang San saw that Guan Er had listened to it, and then continued: "I heard that the stingy man in charge of the money in the prime minister's mansion, when sending us money, reported more than paid less, and ate the difference from it."

"Is this okay?! Isn't this just stealing? It's a matter of losing your head!"

After Guan Er finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "This... won't this implicate us?"

"No, His Highness probably just wants us to be a witness."

"Then, is that going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Guan Er's voice trembled when he spoke, and there was a trace of fear on his face. After all, common people have a natural fear of the government.

"Second Brother Guan, don't be afraid. Although His Highness has no real power, those officials dare not provoke him on the surface. If we tell the truth, we will definitely not be embarrassed."

Zhang San's explanation made Guan Er's expression slightly return to normal, but the latter immediately changed into a righteous expression.

"I'm not afraid, just for the few cups of wine His Highness gave me, even if the old man wants me to go to the county prison, I dare to break through!"

Guan Er's words were so loud that he didn't look like a humble painter, but like a heroic ranger.

"That's natural, and so am I."

The two brothers looked at each other and nodded, as if they had made a big decision.

"Brother Zhang, I'm in a hurry to urinate, so I'm going to find a hut."

After Guan Er finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the other end of the courtyard.

"Second brother Guan, don't talk to others, don't talk to others!"

"Got it, got it!"

Guan Er left in a hurry, but did not walk out of the courtyard.I just turned around at the gate of the side courtyard, looked around, found a few other acquaintances, and went over to chat with them, whispering carefully.

Zhang San watched all this from a distance, a smug smile flashed across his face.

"Second brother Guan, there is really a missing plug in his mouth!"
