Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 229 Gillian: I am such a wise queen
"I really didn't expect that my brother Wang would be pulled from power like this."

Liu Ling had a look of emotion on her face. She originally thought that it would be very difficult for Li Huan to let Liu Buhai replace Liu Qian, and even let her brother Liu Qian die heroically in the Battle of the Southern Expedition early.

However, I never expected that it would be so easy. Even Li Huan, the original mastermind behind the scenes, didn't even show his fangs, and the matter was already done.

Li Huan said: "There is a saying that if you do evil, you will be punished."

Liu Ling's mood was complicated, could it be pain, or relief, or rebellion, revenge?She just said: "When Qu Bing came to see me and talked about the military salary, I was surprised for a long time and couldn't speak."

"I asked him and Cao Xiang to go directly to ask for the money, and then distribute it among the army. I also promoted it and deliberately let people spread the news secretly."

Li Huan held down Liu Ling's hand that wanted to pour the wine. Who knows how much wine this woman had drunk here, but her act of secretly helping him really surprised Li Huan. After all, he was Liu Ling's brother.

Liu Ling hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I originally thought that he just secretly occupied the fields and houses. Who would have thought that he would not even let go of the soldiers in the army who swore to serve us to the death."

"Did you ask Liu Buhai to do that?"

Li Huan poured himself wine, and after taking a sip, he realized it was honey water...

No wonder he couldn't smell the smell of alcohol on Liu Ling after he got close to her... Well, he understood immediately. This bitch was deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of him to win his sympathy...

In fact, there is no need. I really like her. This has nothing to do with whether she is beautiful or not.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Life is too hard, and even if I want to drink some sweet water, there is a problem?"

"No." Li Huan poured a glass of honey water for Liu Ling and handed it to her hand.

Liu Ling sighed and took a few sips before saying: "Liu Buhai has no courage at all. I found him and asked him to come forward to appease the angry soldiers. He was almost so frightened that he couldn't straighten his legs and there was no one to help him. I can’t even mount my horse.”

"Fortunately, he persisted in the end." Li Huan rejoiced.

Liu Ling leaned back on the chair. All the strength in her body seemed to have been drained away. She was radiating exhaustion from the inside out.

But it is this lazy and lonely expression that makes men unable to control it the most.

"When he dismounted, his trousers were all wet. The only good thing was that as he walked, he took a wine bottle to toast the soldiers, so it spilled on his clothes and trousers, and no one would have thought of the heroic appearance of the great farmer. Under the circumstances, it will..."

"I don't want to talk anymore, please come with me for a walk!" Liu Ling dropped the water glass in his hand. A person who was originally very conceited suddenly found that the person he valued most in the past was actually a pile of shit; The most despised person has become a hero who saves people from danger. No one can bear this contrast.

But... Li Huan found that at this time, he couldn't tell whether Liu Ling's words were true feelings and pure acting, or maybe [-]% true feelings and [-]% acting.

But for Li Huan, as long as it is not Voldemort, anything is fine.

A man can go to great lengths to win the favor of the woman he loves, which is called a warrior charging for love; then why can’t a woman go to great lengths to win over the man she loves?
The scenery in Shouchun is very good. Li Huan and Liu Ling took their guards out of the military camp, took a boat, and began to relax.

Li Huan is thinking about building a sugar factory...but he has to wait for this year's sugar cane harvest.

"If life is not satisfactory in this world, tomorrow's dissemination will ruin the boat!"

Li Huan speaks good sentences when he opens his mouth.

After Liu Ling was surprised, he seemed to think that he should be able to get used to Li Huan like this.

The two of them each leaned on the boat, looking at the clear and clear sky. They didn't know whether the wind was blowing the boat or the water was pushing the boat. At this moment, Li Huan and Liu Ling were doing nothing.

The whole afternoon passed like this.

Miraculously, both of them fell asleep next to each other...

Not to mention that Liu Ling felt that this was the most relaxing afternoon since he was born; even Li Huan himself felt that this was the most relaxing afternoon since he came to this world.

Unfortunately, intrigues and court affairs are what men are most obsessed with.

No amount of warmth can stop Li Huan.

Before night fell, a group of people gathered around the lake and started grilling fish.

"After this incident, Liu Qian is unlikely to stand up. He has lost the hearts of the people in Huainan. It is impossible for Liu Buhai to become the commander-in-chief of the new army. Instead, I think this is the time for you to make a move. .”

"When should I take action?" Liu Ling's mind was now completely on the big carp that Li Huan had patiently roasted to a golden color, and he had no other distractions at all.

So delicious!
Seeing Liu Ling's mind being conquered by the big carp, Li Huanda felt that it was normal.

I learned this unique skill when traveling with my former rich wife and ex-girlfriend.

He won the unwavering love of the rich woman's ex-girlfriend with his face, and then conquered the rich woman's ex-girlfriend's stomach with his craftsmanship, and with his long-lasting physical strength... Well, I can't say it. After all, thinking about it carefully, Li Huan felt Punch Lao Ai and step on Ximen, there is no one like me in the world.

Li Huan tore off a piece of fish skin and put it on the serving plate. Liu Ling put it on his chopsticks and blew on it. After taking a sip, he couldn't wait to eat it and chewed it carefully, letting the delicious food bloom in his taste buds.

"It's so delicious!" Liu Ling was very excited. When he looked up, he found that Li Huan was looking at him with a smile in his eyes. He suddenly thought of something and asked in a daze, "What did you just say?"

"It is said that the control of the new army cannot fall into the hands of Liu Buhai, and it is impossible for Liu Qian to stand up again, so now is the time for you to take action."

"Me?" Liu Ling was surprised: "You don't want to find a way to hold military power in your hands?"

"Your father is not really an old fool yet!" Li Huan chuckled softly. He was just a manipulator behind the scenes and should not come to the front of the scene.

Liu Ling just pretended that he had not discovered Li Huan's so-called retainers who were assigned to various places.

"That's fine...it's just that, do you like the five quilts or the thunder quilts?"

A word from Liu Ling and Liu An can determine the ownership of the new army.

"General Gongsun He." Li Huan looked at Liu Ling with complicated eyes: "I thought that the two of us could already understand each other?"

Liu Ling gritted his teeth and focused his attention on the carp again.

Seeing this, Li Huan just smiled slightly and did not intend to talk about anything with Liu Ling at this time.

A wonderful night spent most of the time in fantasy and longing.

On a new day, Li Huan had just opened his eyes, and Bai Zhi had already come forward, looking at him excitedly.

"Husband, the King of Huainan has ordered that Prince Liu Qian be banned from the palace, and all arrears of military pay be immediately released. General Gongsun He is in charge of recruiting and training the new army, and General Wu is in charge of the old army, and has cut half of it."

"Look how excited you are..." Li Huan yawned: "Is there any news from Chang'an?"

"I wonder if what my husband wants to hear is about the two princesses, Cuihua, the government, or the Xiongnu?"

"Both, but let's talk about the Xiongnu first!" Li Huan felt something was wrong. Why hadn't the news about the death of the old Xiongnu and the scuffle between the new successors not spread back to the mainland?

Bai Zhi muttered: "There is no war in Chang'an, and the two princesses have sent daily letters, nothing more than caring for your husband to take care of your health. They also said that our family's property is getting bigger and bigger, and it has now settled in Hanzhong County. The county town, alas, Wenjun’s brother came here once and was rejected by the princess.”

Li Huan snorted: "If I were here, I would have someone break his legs if he doesn't treat his daughter as his own flesh and blood."

"Where's Cuihua?"

Bai Zhi pursed her lips: "Cuihua said that she wants to come here and misses her husband very much. I don't know if my husband is right..."

Li Huan glanced at Bai Zhi's appearance and asked, "Where is he?"

Bai Zhi's eyes narrowed, like a child who was caught stealing candy.

"Cuihua...she should have just left the martial arts pass!"

"How many people are accompanying you?"

"More than fifty people."

"Send 100 people to greet Cuihua and slow down Cuihua's journey. This is simply..."

Li Huan was halfway through his complaint when he immediately thought of something and stopped talking.

"Where's Qubing?"

"Going on duty." "Going on duty?" Li Huan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly and said: "I almost forgot, he is now an official."

Li Huan dressed up, had breakfast, and walked to the lobby where government affairs were handled. Sima Qian and Lei Fei were indeed handling government affairs here, but Han Yan, a bitch like that, had gone somewhere.

After the two saw Li Huan, they immediately approved all kinds of materials needed for recruiting the new army and placed them in front of him.

Afterwards, the two of them returned to their seats without saying a word, and began to deal with other government affairs seriously.

Li Huan laughed dryly and started his day's work.

Approving various official documents is not a difficult task in nature, but there are always some local officials below who like to fool Li Huan as a fool.

The number of households in a household was registered, and an official who could only recruit two hundred soldiers actually asked for money and food for three hundred soldiers.

Li Huan immediately grabbed the roster from his hand, picked a name at random, and then wrote the appointment letter.

Bai Zhi at the side immediately handed over the appointment letter to Bald Qiang outside the door.

Bald Qiang walked out of this courtyard and came to another crowded courtyard, shouting a person's name loudly.

A yawning man responded from the crowd, took the appointment book with no surprise on his face, was escorted by a group of soldiers outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and rode straight to a village sixty miles outside Shouchun City. He was transferred to the city, and after deposing the officials there, he was put into a prison car and escorted to the prison in Shouchun City to await judgment.

And the man who was still yawning became the supreme officer of this place, and immediately started to recruit new troops.

In this day, Li Huan reappointed as many as 19 officials. All the dismissed officials were sent to the prison in Shouchun City.

No one paid attention to their screams of injustice. In this winter, they would become the first batch of dead soldiers of Li Huan's attack on South Vietnam.

There is no war in Chang'an because the entire customs is in full swing for infrastructure construction.

Prime Minister Xue Ze felt that this was the prosperous age that should be, where the people lived in peace and contentment, and everything in the empire was developing in a good direction; but Xue Ze had always disagreed with things like fighting the Huns; after several wars, he always Every time I would put on my uniform and watch the scene of groups carrying coffins with a lot of noise...

Things are different now. Every day on the cement road, Xue Ze feels that life is much better.

In Chang'an City, the first iconic building appeared, reaching a terrifying six-story height!
This iconic building in Chang'an called the Golden House originated from Gillian's handiwork. It is about one foot high and a six-foot-tall building rises from the ground. At night, it is filled with colorful lanterns. When it rains, they will be replaced with lanterns. The glass lampshade can still ensure bright lighting.

Gillian herself also moved here from Nagato Palace.

Compared with the palace complex, the area occupied by the Golden House is not very exaggerated, it is less than ten acres.

However, around the Golden House, a group of three- and four-story buildings were built.

It looks like the stars are overlapping the moon.

But this is not the biggest attraction of the Golden House. The Golden House cannot help but stay at night, and the dignitaries and businessmen who come and go in the Golden House stay up all night long.

In the city of Chang'an, not to mention the three lords and nine ministers, even princes and princes from all walks of life are quite common.

In fact, someone even saw Emperor Liu Che here!
As a result, the reputation of Golden House became even louder.

"Every time I stand at this angle and look down, I feel incredible."

Liu Che was indeed in the Golden House, and he also understood what Gillian meant by naming this place the Golden House. This was clearly a satire on his rhetoric when he was a child, but now it made a certain woman lose her years.

Then, a certain woman realized that it was completely impossible to live a life of a golden house relying on a man, so she built a golden house for herself.

At first, Liu Che was against it.

However, when he saw the daily income generated by the 99 buildings next to the Golden House... Liu Che was also moved.

Even, under Gillian's arrangement, Liu Che staged an old-fashioned bargaining chip to have fun with the people.

It was precisely for this reason that there were rumors that someone had seen the emperor appearing in the Golden House.

Liu Che also didn't expect that one day he would be blackmailed by a rich woman's ex-wife using capital to become like this...

If it was someone else, if Liu Che looked over, that person would obediently sacrifice everything to save his life.

But it was this woman who used capital to blackmail him every time, and even gave him money after playing with him...

This made him, the king of a country, angry and funny...but also quite exciting?

Gillian leaned back on the chair, gently caressing her bulging belly, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Looking down from this angle, at night you can say that the entire city of Chang'an is crawling under your feet, Ah She? This is much better than the golden house you brag about."

Liu Che blushed, turned around and sat down: "You don't want to know how the Marquis of Anyang is doing?"

"What you know, I know. What you don't know, I don't know either." Gillian's disgusted eyes were unconcealed.

However, Liu Che, who is like a domineering president, just likes Gillian, but only if Gillian can treat him like this.

It is said that there was a beauty who had just entered the palace. She thought she had mastered the secret of being favored, so she treated Liu Che like Gillian.

As a result, the emperor just took one look at her before turning around and leaving. The next day, this beauty was wiped out by the three clans.

"Did you deliberately ask Jin Laoer to send his concubine to Huainan?" Gillian's eyes showed a bit of disgust: "Since you believe him, why do you do such a deterrent?"

Liu Che reached out to touch Gillian's belly, but she raised her hand and knocked it away: "Why, are you going to intimidate me and my son in the future, so that we can earn money for you in peace and quiet?"

"You're making trouble out of no reason. Do you know how many people secretly told me that King Huainan sent troops to pacify Nanyue during this period of time? Are they conniving at his rebellion?"

Liu Che looked at Gillian with some grievance: "Besides, some people say that Li Huan has betrayal memorials, and my case is piled up every day."

"Okay, you have withstood a lot of pressure, but this is obviously a once and for all thing. Why are there always people who can't see through it?"

Liu Che smiled slightly and finally touched Gillian's swollen belly. He stroked it gently: "Because no one dares to bet whether Liu An will really rebel; since the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the princes and kings have been With strict supervision, I have made a very bad start."

"It's not that all the people transferred from Beidaying have passed. Zhang Tang and Xue Ze secretly sent many people to serve as Li Huan's retainers. Han Yan and Cao Xiang watched these people become mid-level generals in the new army. , the low-level generals are all soldiers directly selected from the camp?"

Gillian frowned: "Others don't know these things, but you know it. Why do you still want Jin Laoer to send that pregnant concubine over? You are threatening him, and his life and death have always been Are they all under your control?"

Liu Che rubbed his forehead helplessly, thinking about the pressure he had shouldered for Li Huan, a rebellious son these days, and he actually cursed: "Damn it!"

Gillian was instantly furious, her hair almost standing on end: "What did you say?"

Liu Che also realized that what he said was wrong. Your mother is my aunt...

"Let me ask you, is there a possibility that the concubine asked to go there herself?"

"Who believes it? A woman with a big belly, traveling thousands of miles to find a husband?" Gillian snorted, thinking that Liu Che did this on purpose, just to beat Li Huan.

"I don't quite believe that Li Huan is as stupid as you, and would think that this is because I beat him on purpose."

Liu Che's words were full of contempt.

Gillian snorted: "My thoughts are his thoughts. You'd better tell Han Yan not to restrict Li Huan in any way, but you can't treat the national scholars like this."

These words almost made Liu Che angry. He covered Gillian's face and squeezed it hard a few times: "Living ancestor, that concubine really wants to go on her own. The second sister persuaded her many times. I can’t even help you. What kind of emperor do you think I am? Am I really the kind of emperor who worries all day long about how others will kill me?"

Gillian looked at Liu Che who was almost losing his mind and sniffed.

Liu Che looked at Gillian's nose and didn't feel disgusted. He grabbed some paper to wipe it off for her and looked at her dissatisfied: "Really!"

Gillian immediately became serious: "Then let's talk about the army's southern expedition."

Liu Che was speechless for a moment, but Gillian said seriously: "With a virtuous queen like me, what else can Your Majesty ask for?"

Liu Che: "I..."
