Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 17 Farewell to Gan Ning
The next day.

Outside Chengdu.

Strolling along the riverside outside the south of the city, there are brocade workshops of different sizes dotted on both sides of the bank. People are weaving brocades in the river, which looks as bright as clouds from a distance, which is spectacular.

"Xingba, how do you plan to get to Bajun?" Liu Zhang asked. Gan Ning was going to Bajun today and he went out of the city to say goodbye.

Gan Ning replied: "I'm reporting to Duke Ming. I plan to go to Niuchang first, go down the Tuojiang River to Jiangyang, then go down the river to Jiangzhou, go upstream to Danqushui, and recruit the old Japanese troops. song."

Liu Zhang nodded. Yizhou is well connected by water and land. No matter how fast the carriage is, it cannot be faster than water. Even in modern times, water is the largest transportation route. Gan Ning's choice of route should be based on water.

The two walked side by side for a while. Gan Ning stopped and cupped his hands and said, "Ming Gong, you have already left the city for two miles. I would be honored to send you here. I'm afraid I won't be able to let you go."

Liu Zhang smiled. The delivery was a little far away. He nodded in agreement: "That's fine, let's send it here."

He stretched out his hand, broke off a wicker stick on the roadside, and handed it to Gan Ning: "Xingba, come back soon."

"I'm waiting for you in Chengdu."

Gan Ning took the willow branch and said goodbye: "Don't worry, Ming Gong, I will go back soon."

After saying that, Gan Ning and Gan Jiu got on their horses and galloped away.

Seeing that the figures of the two people were getting smaller and smaller, Liu Zhang finally withdrew his gaze. He looked at the weeping willows on the roadside, and there were signs of breaking in many places.

The willows are broken to send each other.

One sentence: 'In the past I left, and the willows lingered; now I come to think about it, the rain and snow are falling. The willow branch was given the role of farewell and farewell.

The most famous one is the farewell at Baqiao. The ancient book "Sanfu Huangtu" records: "Baqiao is a bridge across the water in the east of Chang'an City. Han people see off guests on this bridge and break willows to say goodbye."

Because of the popularity of breaking willows to send people off, in Baqiao, where most people see each other off, all the nearby low willow branches are bent casually, so that even if you are not tall enough, you cannot break the willow branches.

After getting on the carriage, Liu Zhang greeted Pang Que: "Ziman, come back to the city."

"Drive." Pang Que shouted, swung the horse's reins, and began to return to the city.

Liu Zhang looked away, and the city of Chengdu was like a huge beast lying on the ground. It had been built as a capital since Qin merged with Bashu.Li Bing, the governor of Shu County who was dispatched, combined the hydraulic engineering skills from the north and the south to build Dujiangyan, which fundamentally solved the flood control problem in the Chengdu Plain.

Since then, the city of Chengdu has gone through more than two thousand years, but the city site has not been moved and the city name has not been changed.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the southwest, it became the political, economic and cultural center of the southwest region.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, when his father Liu Yang first arrived in Yizhou, he moved the state government to Mianzhu. Just because he had just arrived and was not absolutely sure to occupy Chengdu, a city with a long history, he simply moved the state government to Mianzhu and recruited Dongzhou. People, accumulate strength.

In the second year of Chuping, Liu Yan defeated Ren Qi, the governor of Jianwei, and Jia Long, the governor, and gained absolute control over Yizhou. Later, it was logical to move the state's governance back to Chengdu.

Speaking of which, since the Qin Dynasty built Chengdu City, the style of Chengdu City has been fixed.Until the period of Emperor Wu, southwestern Yi was developed with Chengdu as the center.A large number of officials and troops came to Chengdu.The old city of Chengdu is no longer suitable for the needs.

In the second year of Emperor Wu's Yuanding reign, he just ordered the reconstruction of Chengdu.The rebuilt city included all small and large cities in the Qin Dynasty, and expanded mainly to the north and east.The so-called "the capital has twenty-nine and more than four hundred villages. It has two rivers and two rivers, and its city is connected by nine bridges."

Now Liu Zhang is passing Wanli Bridge, then Jiangqiao, and then enters the city through Chengdu Jiangqiao Gate.

After a while, Liu Zhang and his party arrived in the city, riding in the city of Chengdu in the Han Dynasty. Shops, houses, and mansions were well planned and lined up in rows.

The road is particularly wide and smooth. Even the four-horse chariot used by Liu Zhang can travel very safely on this road.

Liu Zhang looked at this peaceful and peaceful ancient market with great interest.
-
Liu Zhang, who returned to his mansion, looked up at the position of the sun in the sky and saw that noon had not yet arrived.With nothing to do, Liu Zhang thought for a while and walked towards the other courtyard.

Walking outside the courtyard, there are children laughing like bells and a few female voices tinkling like clear springs, giving people a sweet feeling in the hot summer.

The child was his son Liu Xun. As for the female voice, he probably guessed who it was. Liu Zhang opened the door and saw a young woman in palace attire playing Cuju with the child. The ball was filled with silk cotton on the inside and made of hemp rope and silk on the outside. ropes tied into a ball shape.

Seeing the visitor, Wu Ran gathered up her clothes that were wrinkled from playing Cuju and saluted, "I have met the envoy."

When four-year-old Liu Xun saw his father, he opened his hands and staggered towards Liu Zhang, shouting happily: "Dad."

Liu Zhang picked up his cheap son, turned around and nodded to Wu Ran, saying, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Ji Yu, just like in the past."

"I don't dare. When you first come to Yizhou, you will put your authority first." Wu Ran shied away. If it had been in the past, she would have called Ji Yu, but Liu Zhang's killing of Li Da yesterday made her aware of this. Uncle Ji Yu, who was already the state shepherd of Yizhou, was extremely powerful. Wu Ran tilted his head slightly to the right while replying.

Even if Wu Ran tilted his head, Liu Zhang could still see at a glance that there were five red fingerprints on Wu Ran's right face. No matter how much makeup and powder he applied, the bright red marks could not be covered.

Wu Ran, Empress Mu of the Shu Han Dynasty in history, was the sister of the Shu Han cavalry general Wu Yi. Because Dong Fu’s magic stick said she had a noble appearance, she was attracted by his father Liu Yan and married her brother Liu Mao. It's just that following his brother Liu Mao was not very valuable. He had to wait until Liu Bei came to Yizhou and married Liu Bei before his sister-in-law became valuable.

Judging from the current situation, following his brother Liu Hao, not only did he not become rich, but he also suffered domestic violence from Liu Hao, which made Liu Zhang despise Liu Hao. He is an expert in civil war and an outsider in foreign war. How can he deal with his own people? .

Thinking that it was Wu Ran who had taken care of Liu Xun recently, and seeing the five distinct fingerprints on Wu Ran's face, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and said thank you: "There are a lot of things in the government recently, and I don't have much time to take care of A Xun. Thank you for your hard work." My sister-in-law took care of it.”

"My brother has been a little crazy recently and his behavior is confusing. Maybe he will get better after a while. My sister-in-law might as well stay in A Xun's other courtyard temporarily. Don't provoke him."

"No." Wu Ran responded with a dull look in her eyes. She knew what Liu Zhang meant. Liu Hao had been angry recently because of the Yizhou Mu incident. He hit and scolded the people around him. It was better to hide away, but for this matter She couldn't say much because Liu Hao was her husband after all.

She changed the topic: "I heard that the envoy protected a young lady at the market a few days ago and gave her a piece of Shu brocade."

"It's true." The message was passed quickly, and Liu Zhang nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty is interested in this young lady. According to the custom of Shu, Shu brocade has always been used as a betrothal gift." Wu Ran asked, the eldest brother is like the father, and now Liu Zhang only has an older brother, Liu Mao. As her sister-in-law, she has to pay for this. A widowed uncle who was supposed to be an envoy said to his sister-in-law: "If the envoy agrees, I can find a matchmaker."

The appearance of Miss Huang came to Liu Zhang's mind. She looked pretty good, but she looked like she was 56. The memory of the past life began to cause trouble. He immediately shook his head and denied it: "No, no. , that Miss Huang is too young."

In the previous life, Huang Xiaoniang was probably still in high school at that age. Liu Zhang did not dare to have any delusions, or he felt that even thinking about it was a crime.

"Too young." Wu Ran showed doubts and blurted out randomly: "Do you like someone older and more mature?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Wu Ran felt that it was inappropriate, his face turned crimson, and he lowered his eyebrows.

Looking at Wu Ran who lowered his head, Liu Zhang was reminded of a poem: "The most gentle thing about bowing his head is like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot bear the cool breeze." '

Wu Ran raised her head to explain something, but when she saw Liu Zhang staring directly at her face, her face couldn't help but turn redder, and she lowered her head again.

'Damn. Liu Zhang slandered, he didn't mean anything else. He looked at Wu Ran just as if he saw a strange flower while traveling and glanced at it twice more. But coupled with the conversation just now, it became clear that he didn't Have good intentions.

The atmosphere in the hospital suddenly became awkward.
