I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 57
Compared with the pre-Qin era, the cars of the Han Dynasty have undergone tremendous changes.The main purpose is gradually changing from fighting to carrying people and goods.

In addition, the shape of the car is also slowly changing.The types of single-wheel vehicles are decreasing, while double-wheel vehicles are flourishing.

Whether it is for ordinary people or wealthy families, cars are equally important possessions.A cheap car costs tens of thousands of dollars, while an expensive car is worth millions.

Since the car is very important, the ride is also particular.

Especially on an occasion like today, Liu He couldn't sneak out of the palace as casually as he usually does.

In the Han Dynasty, when riding an car on a formal occasion, the left is the respect, so the venerable is on the left, the accompanying rider is on the right, and the husband is in the middle.

But if it is a chariot, it is slightly different from ordinary chariots. Often the general is in the center, the driver is on the left, and the guard is on the right.

Today, Liu He took the An car, so after getting in the car, he sat on the left, Xue Yu sat in the middle, and Yu Wuyou, who accompanied him, sat on the right.

When the three of Liu He got into the carriage, the guide carriage, the servants and the riders got on the carriage one after another.

After waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, Dai Zong also came around from the side door with the more than 100 hometowns, and followed behind Liu He's car.

Liu He looked back at this group of ordinary people in various clothes, feeling extremely stable and peaceful in his heart.

With them behind, what else can I not do?
"Xue Qi, let's go."

Xue Ke is a taciturn person, because he is in charge of "useful and useless" things, so he rarely raises objections.

"only."

Xue Qi gave the order to set off loudly, and the riders and guide cars in front started to move.

Soon, when there was a distance of two or three feet in front of An Che, Xue Qi shook the reins quickly and shouted "drive".

The four horses raised their hooves at the same time, pulling An Che forward.

Xue Qi's driving speed is neither too fast nor too slow, everything is just right - it will neither bump because it is slow, nor will it make the people behind the car unable to keep up because it is fast.

This driving ability is far beyond what the two amateur drivers Dai Zong and Yu Wuyou can match.

The right speed makes the spring breeze blowing in front of you as soft as silk.

Liu He raised his head slightly, high-spirited.

At this moment, he finally understood why Dai Zong's dream was to drive a chariot.

Compared with riding a horse, a chariot has a special heroism.

"Xue Qing drives very well, comparable to the rebirth of Xia Houying!"

"His Royal Highness praises you, but you are familiar with it!"

The entire driving route to the Prime Minister’s Mansion was the same as Liu He’s sneaky route to the Prime Minister’s Mansion last time. He first drove south to the official road near the south wall, then drove east along the official road to the east city wall, and finally went to the Turn north at the corner and go north along the east wall.

This route was specially chosen by Liu He. Although the distance is a bit long, it is not as convenient as going directly through Dongmen Street, but it also avoids the crowds, and the speed is actually faster.

There are not many people on the two official roads, one south and one north, but it is not completely empty of pedestrians.

Because the four-driver Anche Liu He was riding in was the only one in Changyi, so even though it hadn't been running in Changyi city for two years, it was still easily recognized by pedestrians.

Whether it is a commoner or an official, the first reaction to seeing this luxurious car and this grand car is panic, and it seems to be reminded of the thing that the king of Changyi drove a car at will to hurt people two years ago.

But soon they relaxed again, because the speed of the car was not fast, and the wind it brought made them feel a little cool.

Especially when they saw the head of the guard in the palace leading more than a hundred ordinary people behind the convoy, chasing forward with "squeaks and slaps", the last bit of awe was gone.

This team is like a strange bird with a crested head and a pheasant body at the same time, which makes people feel solemn and funny.

On the side of the road, two soldiers who came out from the Lieutenant's Mansion to inspect the city wall watched the car drive away, patted the dust on their bodies, and chatted interestingly.

"Did Your Highness drink too much again and is going to do something crazy?" the short official asked.

"Your Highness has changed a lot in the past two years, and it seems that he is no longer messing around like before." The tall clerk shook his head, as if he didn't agree.

"I'm afraid His Highness just put his nonsense thoughts on all kinds of tricks." The short little official laughed.

"I heard that His Highness likes to hang out with the craftsmen and officials, and even sends people to recruit craftsmen. I don't know what to do?" The tall little official is from the county and lives in Beicheng. Li Anding, a visitor from the royal palace, was chatting with those craftsmen.

"What else can I do, Zuo just wants to make some weird and ingenious things for my own fun." The short little official sneered.

"That's wrong. Last time I had a drink with Tian Cao Shi Wang He, he said that His Highness drew a lot of drawings of farm tools, and they were very handy to use. Wang He was so impressed." The tall little official might be Under the influence of Wang He, when Liu He was mentioned, his tone was quite respectful.

"That's true. I also heard from the drinking buddies in the county prison that His Highness helped them pry Guo Kai's mouth open in the past few days." The short official also had to express his admiration to them.

When the two of them said this, they invariably thought of the virtuous meeting called in Changyi Palace on the fifteenth of every month.

"In the past two years, His Highness seems to have done a lot of good things for the Changyi Kingdom, but it's a pity that you and I are in Bingcao, so we have no chance to meet His Highness." There was a trace of regret in the words of the short official.

"Hehe, it's best not to see each other. Bing Cao is different from Zhu Cao. If His Highness stretches his hand in, it will not be a good thing for Changyi, but a bad thing."

"There is some truth in what you said. Bingcao is indeed not a place where you can intervene at will." The short little official nodded in response.

"I think this Highness is just playing for fun. After playing for a few years, I'm afraid he will switch to another way of playing. This Highness doesn't have any shadows of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Xiaowu. He is just like the son of a wealthy landlord. .”

"Shut up, be careful that the walls have ears!"

The short official saw that the tall official's words were disobedient, so he interrupted him quickly.The tall little official also realized his aphasia, so he immediately shut up.

"The county magistrate's family affairs are not something you and I can worry about. It's better for us to do what we have in hand."

"You're right. Hurry up and finish patrolling the city wall so that you can go to Beicheng to warm a pot of wine, eat two slices of meat, and then go to a tea shop to make a pot of tea to sober up. This is your business."

"You're right, you're right, very good!"

The two little officials ended the conversation contentedly, turned their eyes away from the car in the distance, and walked west along the city wall again.
