Chapter 209 Chen Luo Returns to Chang'an

The first day of May.

The western suburbs of Chang'an City.

There are still a few days before the summer solstice, the sun is not harsh, and there is no sweltering heat in the air. The refreshing spring breeze blows past, which makes people feel at ease.

It's just that several eunuchs and Shusun Tong here are looking at the distance, pacing back and forth, and the guard of honor behind them is even more serious, which is in stark contrast to the contentment on the faces of those outing youth on the road.

They were waiting for Yang Xiahou's convoy to return to Beijing.

Seven days ago, Chen Luo entered Guanzhong, and when the convoy arrived in Xianyang the day before yesterday, he sent someone to make an announcement in advance.

Therefore, Liu Bang sent out Shusun Tong early in the morning, and then sent out the group of trusted eunuchs who had a higher status in the palace, and stood here to greet him, expressing his importance.

If it was a normal minister returning to Beijing, he would naturally not need to adopt such a standard, but Chen Luo was assassinated by a traitor on the way, which was regarded as a serious political incident, which alarmed the great general Han Xin who had not spoken for a long time.

Therefore, in order to express his importance and appease Chen Luo who was frightened on the road, Liu Bang sent so many people to wait here.

The leader, Shu Suntong, glanced behind him and nodded at the neatly lined up team, quite satisfied.

Not bad, very energetic.

"Uncle Sun Taichang, that seems to be Yang Xiahou's convoy, we should go up to meet him." The eunuch standing half a step behind him reminded in a low voice.

So under the command of Shusun Tong, everyone stood up according to the etiquette system and greeted the convoy in front of them respectfully.

"Dr. Shusun, His Majesty actually sent you here to greet me. It's really beyond my expectation. I'm a little flattered." Chen Luo, who was sitting in the carriage, was reminded by the driver, opened the veil, and saw the station. Shusun Tong, who was at the front, came down and saluted.

"Yang Xiahou, what are you talking about?" Because of the presence of outsiders, Shusun Tong is still more official in terms of address, he said with a faint smile, "Your Majesty specially prepared a banquet for you in the palace, and cleaned up the road for you. dust."

"When I see His Majesty, I will thank him for his kindness." After the greetings, Chen Luo returned to the carriage.

Glancing sideways at Liu Le beside him, he lowered his voice and said, "Le'er, what will happen later..."

"I know." Liu Le blinked obediently, expressing his understanding of Chen Luo's meaning.

Relieved, Chen Luo looked out at Chang'an through the car window that was lifted by the breeze.

Leaving this city for half a year, it gave me a completely different feeling. The original wasteland was covered with residential houses, and the once lively streets were a little more crowded. I closed my eyes slightly, except for the absence of sirens, this kind of noisy The feeling of later generations is not bad, even more human.

But in the Han Dynasty, there were only a few cities like this that could arouse my feelings like this.

"That's great." Chen Luo let himself go briefly, and let out a soft breath.

Until the trampling of the carriage stopped outside the palace, it was time for the eunuchs to lead them to the banquet.

……

Seeing Chen Luo walking into the hall, Liu Bang took the initiative to get up and went over, took his hands and said, "Ji Yu's traitor is really hateful. I think his father was loved by the people of Wei, and he died in Qin when Qin died. The world has made meritorious service, and I have an old relationship with me, so he will be named King of Wei.

Unexpectedly, instead of treating the common people kindly because of this, he became more arrogant and domineering.

I accused him of inappropriate and complete gifts for celebrating the new year. The traitor thought he was insulted and asked the prime minister who came to Chang'an to assassinate him, and then he bewitched his soldiers to conspire against him. Really...

I can bear these things, but what I can't bear the most is that he actually wants to murder you, Jiang Ning! "

Speaking of the excitement, Liu Bang even tilted his head and said loudly: "Everyone, good officials and generals are needed to govern the country. This is the foundation of a great man, but now the rebel wants to kill the good ministers of a big man. Is it acceptable to me?" thing?
of course not!

Therefore, I sent the great general Han Xin with [-] soldiers to suppress the rebellion of the rebels, and let the people of the world understand that the big man will never allow such a situation to happen. "

The officials applauded again and again, nodding in agreement.

Chen Luo, who stood closest to Liu Bang, also showed a polite smile.

When the applause stopped for a while, Chen Luo turned into panic, and said excitedly: "I heard that talented officials will choose wise monarchs to serve; life.

Looking at it now, we are really lucky.

When you meet such a wise and respectful monarch as Your Majesty, why don't everyone die for you? "

The officials in the hall who had stopped applauding silently put down their chopsticks.

Amid the unanimous applause, Liu Bang's eyes shone with emotion. Chen Luo, who was holding both hands, lowered his head halfway, with a firm and sincere expression.

What a scene where the monarch and his ministers get along well!
The painter in the corner of the palace looked at this scene with excitement, while recording it in his mind, he continued to outline it with his pen on the silk script.

"Only with the assistance of a wise courtier like you, Jiang Ning, can I be called an accomplished king." The two walked towards the seats at the banquet, and before parting, Liu Bang said with sincere eyes.

"It's my honor." Chen Luo nodded in response, then walked to his seat and sat down slowly.

When Liu Bang said those words just now, he did not rely purely on acting skills, but with his own emotions.

Even if Liu Bang's sincerity is not entirely due to himself.But when he expressed his appreciation and desire for talents, his eyes could not be false.

This is the fullest proof.

After all, no one can show such sincerity to the person he is trying to kill. No matter how good his acting skills are, the disgust in his eyes cannot be perfectly hidden.

So now Liu Bang's suspicion can be completely ruled out, those thieves who intercepted him were not sent by him.

Not many suspects left!
----

According to research, in the archaeological field, there is an unwritten method for judging the main tomb of the founding heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

In the main tomb room, most of the murals are painted, and the content recorded on it is that during a certain banquet, the then emperor Liu Bang personally walked to the gate of the main hall to greet a person, and held the other person's hands tightly to show his importance.

The layout of the palace depicted on those murals is roughly the same, and it can be deduced that what is painted is the same banquet.However, the biggest difference lies in the shape and appearance of the person Liu Bang greeted. According to the inference of the historian Chen Luo, the owner of the tomb probably passed through the banquet and replaced the person greeted by Emperor Liu Bang with his own on the mural. appearance.

It’s just that this mural, which has many versions, records who Liu Bang originally greeted at the banquet. It has become an unsolved case. We look forward to new archaeological discoveries in the future to answer for us. ——"Those Interesting Historical Details"
