Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 173 Falling into Liu Ling’s trap

A hint of bitterness appeared on the face of the attendant: "The seven eunuchs also made the same carriage as a tribute to the Queen Mother. If such a carriage is used to transport goods, I am afraid it is inconsistent with etiquette. After all, this has become the carriage for the Queen Mother and the princes. , As for transporting goods... If you dare, the villain, with this cement road, it is flat and spacious, and the efficiency of coming and going has long been many times faster than the previous dirt road. "

Li Huan looked around, seemingly looking for someone.

"Father? You don't want to take your anger out on those seven eunuchs who made their own decisions, do you?"

Li Huan frowned and said, "Those seven eunuchs were the queen mother's servants. I killed them as soon as I killed them. I'm so brave. I'm looking for Liu Ling? Today I'm free. Where did she go?"

I'm used to being a follower and disappearing so rashly, it's really a bit unaccustomed to me.

Huo Qubing looked at the people beside him: "Go and find out later."

"Here!"

The five riders immediately dispersed.

As the carriage moved forward, Li Huan came to the edge of the winery. Sima Qian happened to be carrying a wine flask, with his hands behind his back, and walked out with a bit of coolness.

Li Huan's carriage, which looked like a monster from a distance, immediately fell into Sima Qian's eyes.

"Stop the car and go sit with Sima Qian." Li Huan was extremely depressed. Such a carriage could also involve the issue of trespass.

"The chariots of princes are different from the chariots of ordinary people. Anyone who violates the rules should be punished with death, but..." Sima Qian stopped talking.

Li Huan turned around and glanced at Huo Qubing, who was driving a four-wheeled carriage to have fun. He frowned and four horsemen immediately chased after him.

"Just what? I didn't win your money, why don't you say anything?"

Sima Qian smiled slightly and was busy pouring wine for Li Huan: "Master Hou, please calm down, but the four-wheeled carriage is a rare item. There are no regulations on this item in the etiquette, and I, a big man, can do anything without any prohibition by law. Those seven eunuchs have a lot of bad intentions."

Li Huan stood up, held the exquisite porcelain wine glass, looked at it in detail for a moment, smelled the smell of wine inside, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Sima Qian, who would you say will instruct these seven eunuchs? Send your head to the guillotine?"

"No matter who pointed it out, such actions should be executed." Sima Qian really didn't want to be involved in these things, so he kept hiding in the winery. Who would have thought that Li Huan would accidentally encounter him.

Sometimes, he doubted whether he really had a close relationship with Li Huan?
However, whether it was Li Huan or Sima Qian, they knew very well in their hearts who instructed these seven eunuchs to do this.

"What? Recorded so many of my achievements in the annals of history, but dare not tell me the truth?"

"Why do you, the prince, force others to make things difficult for you?"

Sima Qian wanted to pour wine for Li Huan, but then he saw that Li Huan's wine glass was still full.

Li Huan said: "If you don't tell me, I will have a strong man lock you up immediately!"

"Junhou, you really invented a new word, strong men lock men!" Sima Qian smiled helplessly, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then said: "The only people who dare to do this are Da Sinong and Tingwei, but Tingwei and Da Sinong are both your good friends, Junhou. Although we cannot see each other this time, that is what Your Majesty meant. Junhou..."

"Understood." Li Huan waved his hand, and it turned out to be exactly what he thought. It wasn't Da Si Nong, nor Ting Wei... He glanced at Sima Qian with disgust: "Follow me, the cement kiln will start burning cement. The finished cement is lumpy, so we have to find a way to grind it, and the hydraulic workshop needs to be expanded.”

"Master Marquis, I heard that the first batch of merchants to buy porcelain have arrived. How about you take a few days off to meet these people?" Li Huan snorted lightly, raised his head and drank the drink in one gulp: "The business of merchants should naturally be done. Leave it to the businessman, not to mention I have a very suitable candidate, why do you want to force someone to lock him up before you come with me?"

"Junhou, please don't get angry with me. I'm not feeling well these days. I'm constantly being questioned by Tingwei's swordsmen and pen officials. I almost ended up being dumped in Anyang County after I was asked." After a few meals and a few drinks, I've figured it all out." Sima Qian actually started to complain.

Li Huan put his hands behind his back and chose to walk instead of riding a horse. It was still several miles away from here through the factory area to the hydraulic workshop.

He didn't get on the horse, so the accompanying guards naturally abandoned their horses and followed him on foot.

Sima Qian followed Li Huan with a wine pot, and continued: "Master Hou, if it is difficult to make the kind of cement you mentioned, then in fact, I think the cement made from clay mixed with lime is also very effective. There is really no need to spend more manpower.”

"Are you afraid that I will kill people indiscriminately?" Li Huan gave Sima Qian a depressed look.

Sima Qian laughed dryly: "Master Hou, your current appearance is really not suitable for..."

"What do you know? The proportion of clay and lime must be done before firing cement. What needs to be done now is to first mash the limestone into fine powder, then mix it with clay, mix it with water and stir it into mud, and then put it on the soil It is heated and dried on the tray, and the dry materials are beaten into pieces, and then they are put into the cement kiln for calcination. After calcination, they are cooled and crushed into fine powder. This is what I call cement. This thing is made from clay rolled with lime. Well, after all, high temperature can produce unexpected benefits."

Li Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that Sima Qian was talking a lot but was honest in his mind: "Do you remember everything clearly?"

"When I reported back to the Marquis, I remembered everything clearly. I didn't forget every word. I could even recite it backwards and forwards."

Li Huan reached out and patted Sima Qian on the shoulder, waving to keep the distance between the followers behind him.

"Tell me, Liu Ling, a bitch, why can't she just do something serious?"

"Master? He asked Ting Weigong to take him away." Sima Qian began to pretend to be confused again.

"You write history books, what things can be hidden from your eyes? The king of Huainan wanted to plot a rebellion and asked Liu Ling to come to Chang'an to spy on state affairs. You dare not write this matter into the history of the country now, but you will write it in the future, right?"

Sima Qian took a gulp of wine to embolden his own courage: "Junhou, what do you want me to say? King Huainan's father Liu Chang died so tragically, and Liu Anxin was resentful. Everyone knows this. But if His Majesty knows, what can he do? He recruits guests, repairs ancient books, and has an elegant demeanor. How can he show his rebellious intentions?"

"Liu Chang's feudal status should have been revoked from the beginning!"

Sima Qian blushed and covered his ears: "What are you saying? I can't hear you..."

"I said that Liu Chang's feudal status should have been revoked from the beginning, and his heirs should not have been allowed to re-establish the country. All should have been dealt with..."

Sima Qian was so frightened that he covered Li Huan's mouth and said in a horrified voice: "Your Majesty, I am a man who rules the world with filial piety, but I dare not say this..." His voice was lowered: "You have an embroidered messenger among your guards. This The words have reached His Majesty’s ears, something big is going to happen! Something big is going to happen!”

Li Huan knocked off Sima Qian's hand and said scornfully: "You still write history, you really have no spine at all!"

"Master Marquis, my integrity lies between the lines, not in my words and deeds." Sima Qian smiled with satisfaction, and Li Huan began to despise him, which meant that he would never talk about that matter again.

Li Huan shook his head: "Okay, let's go to the hydraulic workshop first..."

　My kidneys were weak after I got home today, and I will update my [-]-character update tomorrow. I am a sensible person...
