Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 206
"I..." Before Sima Qian could speak, Li Huan enthusiastically held his hand: "Zizhang, who do you think this is?"

Sima Qian took a closer look at his quilt standing under the court, looking at his quilt with a smile, and was slightly startled: "General Wu, why are you here?"

Wu Bei smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "I am a minister of the King of Huainan, and I am here to welcome you as the Prime Minister of Huainan. Sima Zichang, I haven't seen you for several years since we last said goodbye in Shouchun!"

"More than three years..." Sima Qian's mouth turned bitter: "I feel ashamed to say that now I am just a white man, but General Wu is still in a high position!"

"Why do you say such depressing words?" Li Huan held Sima Qian's hand distressedly, entered the hall and sat down: "Zizhang, why did you lose your official position?" He did not forget to turn his head and motioned for Wu Gui to sit down as well.

Hearing this, Sima Qian sighed and burst into tears: "Time is also fate? I advise Your Majesty to restrain his desire to kill. In the blizzard incident in Anyang County, the county governor committed suicide out of fear of crime. His family should not be held accountable, but His Majesty is still determined." We want to kill the six other tribes to set an example and frighten the hearts of the people in the world, but what can we do..."

Seeing Sima Qian bursting into tears, Li Huan felt like shit in his heart and complained: "Sima Qian, Sima Qian, I thought you could write history, but who knew that you were actually a movie king?"

My good brother has entered the state, so naturally I can't help but praise him.

"What? Is this happening?" Li Huan turned pale: "I just heard here that many nobles in Chang'an City have been arrested. Although these people died unjustly, the Hanzhong County Sheriff has committed suicide, and Your Majesty still wants to punish him. Destroy the six tribes? This, this, this..."

Wu was also shocked. How much hatred was there to kill the six tribes?They didn't rebel or cause chaos, that is, they just committed suicide out of fear of crime. The emperor actually wanted to kill the six tribes?

"Yes!" Sima Qian sighed: "Junhou, if I hadn't heard you say that, I would have thought that this was your pleading for the emperor to kill the six clans of the county guard?"

Li Huan smiled bitterly: "I am really sitting at home, and the blame comes from the sky. I have never taken over this matter. Aren't you the one who has the full authority to investigate?"

Wu Wei dared to hesitate: "The prince is kind and spares no expense for food and housing to feed so many people in the winter. How could he do such a thing? Son, there must be something fishy about this matter."

"To be honest, these people don't have to come here in winter and can still get relief in their own place of residence." Sima Qian said firmly: "Someone deliberately incited these victims secretly and wanted them to attack Anyang County. Major factories caused civil unrest, thus dragging Mr. Hou into trouble."

Wu Bei's eyes narrowed and he subconsciously glanced at Li Huan, only to see Li Huan's eyes filled with disdain.

Sima Qian continued: "The prince did not hesitate to waste money and food, which was beyond the expectations of these villains. Instead, it was a blessing in disguise. The permanent population of Anyang County increased to one hundred thousand. Now that the ice and snow have melted, people everywhere have already burned the mountains to open up wasteland. , within a few years, the richness of this place will make it the best in Hanzhong!"

"Crisis, crisis, the so-called crisis, is that danger brings opportunity." Li Huan smiled nonchalantly: "I only regard the people as human beings, not as beasts, so how can I bear to see them? Is there a tragic situation where the rich people are stinking of wine and meat, and the roads are freezing to death?"

"The wine and meat of the Zhumen are stinky, and there are frozen bones on the road!" Wu Bei was shocked and said: "The words of the Marquis are like the drums at dusk and the bells in the morning, which are deafening and enlightening, and Wu Bei surrenders heartily!"

At this time, the servant came to report that the banquet was ready.

Li Huan said: "Come, General Wu and Zi Chang, let's go to the banquet first."

"Please!"

"Please!"

After the guests of honor were seated, Li Huan took advantage of the situation and sighed: "General Wu's feeling like this is enough to prove that you are also a person who cares about the country and the people! Come on, son-in-law, General Wu, let's drink this cup!"

"Come! Longevity, Lord!"

Wu was holding the wine bottle high, and Sima Qian was also extremely excited.With a bottle of wine down their throats, the three of them felt that the atmosphere had become much closer.

Li Huan clapped his hands: "Let the singer come forward. Here we and the three of us will meet our close friends. How can we have wine but not the joy of silk and bamboo?"

The servant immediately called the singer to come forward, and the music of silk and bamboo was played for a while, and the atmosphere was considered to be wonderful.

Sima Qian took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, I have no place to settle down now. I heard that your Majesty wants to go to Huainan Kingdom to serve as the Prime Minister. His son is not talented. I would like to serve as your aide and make suggestions for your Majesty. If you don't dislike me... "

"What are you saying from the son-in-law? You and I are close friends. Don't talk about being a staff member or a disciple. When you arrive in the Huainan Kingdom in the future, I will naturally recommend you to join the court as an official. The people of Huainan are also the people of my great Han Dynasty. The son-in-law has arrived. The Huainan Kingdom can still take revenge in its heart and seek benefits for the people!"

"How dare Sima Qian say thank you for this kindness?" The way Sima Qian's lips trembled made Li Huan almost believe that this was true.

Although Sima Qian arrived very suddenly and without any preparation or anything else to say to himself, he knew in his heart that this must be Liu Che's arrangement!

After all, Sima Qian, the Taishi Ling who was not the messenger of embroidered clothes, became the biggest messenger of embroidered clothes around him...

"Zizhang, my feelings are all in the wine!" Li Huan couldn't take it anymore, because according to the routine, at this time, he and Sima Qian should take off half of the clothes on their shoulders, expose half of their shoulders, hold their wrists, and cry with tears in their eyes. He said the words of serving the people of Han Dynasty, and then made an oath and so on...

In the eyes of the ancients, this was the most popular routine, and it was also an extremely exciting thing.But Li Huan felt that he and Sima Qian really didn’t have this need...

The main reason is that I am a time traveler, and I cannot fully understand the feeling in the hearts of people who grew up in the background of their era, that a scholar would die for a confidant.

In other words, he was really afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter, which would be really embarrassing...

Sure enough, Sima Qian, who was about to bare his shoulders and strangle his wrists with tears in his eyes, instantly felt the pain of having his spell cast interrupted.

On Li Huan's side, he was already showing off his wine, showing off the remaining wine in the bottle, and signaling to Sima Qian that it would be alright.

What this means is that you have to drink it all and then let me see the rest of your wine.

Seeing this scene, Sima Qian had no choice but to be embarrassed.

Wu Qiu, who was greatly moved on one side, although he was not personally preparing to go into battle, exposed his shoulders, grabbed his wrists, and sighed with tears in his eyes, he was still prepared to see this scene happen. It turned out that Junhou was not a person who expected it according to common sense. People, since the prince has already meant this, and Sima Zichang has also meant this, he immediately picked up the wine bottle and followed his intention...

This is really interesting...

"General Wu, Zizhang once participated in the construction of the entire Anyang County, and many of the things were created by him. Tomorrow, let Zizhang take you to visit. He is better than Benhou. All the tokens work well!"

"This..." Wu Bian looked at Sima Qian.

Sima Qian said with a smile: "It's just right, I'm going to put myself in order. I wonder when you plan to leave?"

When Wu heard this, he immediately said in his heart that Sima Qian was his half-brother!

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked the question that he wanted to ask, but it was difficult to ask. For a moment, although his ears were pricked up, his eyes when he looked at Sima Qian were full of gratitude. He was indeed an old friend from many years ago. You know yourself so well!
