My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 35 Han Shaofu

Weiyang Palace, Greenhouse Palace.

It is said that it is the Greenhouse Palace, but it is not actually another palace independent of the main hall of Xuanshi.

——The main hall of the Xuanshi is actually the general name of the greenhouse, Xuanshi and Qingliang hall.

These three halls are closely adjacent from west to south, and together form the word "Dan", and are collectively called: the main hall of the Xuanshi.

In the scorching heat of summer, the emperor would often work in the Qingliang Hall, and in the winter of the twelfth lunar month, he would move to the greenhouse.

The Xuanshi Hall, which is sandwiched between the Qingliang Hall and the Greenhouse Hall, is actually only used as a formal meeting place most of the time.

This is like a wealthy businessman among the people. In summer, most of them will go to the mountain villa to escape the heat, and in winter, they will most likely go to hot springs to escape the cold;

But regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, whenever there is something to discuss or announce at home, the clan members will definitely be summoned to the main house.

Xuanshi Hall was the 'main residence' used by the emperors of the Han Dynasty when they held court ceremonies, duets and other formal occasions.

At this time, Emperor Qi was in a greenhouse where the temperature was suitable - even a little overheated.

Although spring has begun, there is still less than half a month until the Emperor Qi moves back to his office.

The temperature in Chang'an was already not low. Staying in the Greenhouse Hall, Emperor Qi was obviously feeling a little uncomfortable. He used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

Wiping his hands and not forgetting something on his lips, he started talking to the man in black hiding between the curtains in the corner of the hall.

"Dongyuan?"

"Is it too late?"

"How do I remember that this Cen Mai can be called a loyal person?"

"Why did Dongyuan even show up?"

Emperor Qi immediately felt unhappy when he heard that Liu Rong had been run against by the young man Cenmai and almost ran to Dongyuan, the royal funeral objects industrial park.

——After all, the one who allowed Liu Rong to go to the Shaofu, or even "freely enter and exit" the Shaofu, was the Emperor Qi who spoke of the Tianxian.

As a result, as soon as Emperor Qi came out with his big words, Liu Rong turned around, but was almost ran away to the East Garden by Cen Mai...

"Yangling Marquis Cenmai is indeed a loyal and loyal elder."

"But it is precisely because of this that Cen Mai dare not really let the emperor's eldest son travel unimpeded in the young manor."

"——Cen Mai is loyal. He is loyal to His Majesty and the country; he is loyal to his personal morality and benevolence;"

"The more loyal I am to His Majesty, Cen Mai, the less I dare to let the eldest son of the Emperor interfere with the important subordinates of the Young Mansion."

With a simple sentence, Emperor Qi Dang even understood: Cen Mai did something this time that made Emperor Qi very relieved.

What does Cen Mai mean by this action?
——Your Majesty, just give the order!

——But as long as the person does not come with your Majesty's mission, even if this person has your Majesty's permission, I will still stop the person outside the Young Mansion!

Any disobedience and disrespect, any obedience and disobedience, all will be accepted!
As long as the young master is safe and sound, let alone this little infamy - even with this life, I will never be vague!
"Hi……"

"This is a big deal..."

As he said this at any time, the unhappiness on the emperor's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a smile that reached deep into his eyes and endless pampering in his words.

That's right, pampering.

We can't blame Emperor Qi for being inconsistent. In fact, the Shaofu - especially the Han Shaofu, is indeed a powerful and scary freak. It is said that during the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor died in the sand dunes, the second generation Hu Hai's edict was established, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Daze Township;

Almost overnight, the whole world of Great Qin was ablaze with war.

The rebel army led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang won consecutive battles, and Chen Sheng was even able to establish the Zhang Chu regime, calling himself King of Chu.

At that time, the Qin court, which had once dominated the country under the rule of the First Emperor and suppressed all the little ones in the world, could not even raise a large army to counter the rebellion!

In desperation, the Qin Shaofu ordered Zhang Han to enlist, sent hundreds of thousands of prisoners to form an army, and went out to Xianyang to quell the rebellion.

Logically speaking, a powerful feudal regime - a powerful regime that had just unified the Chinese continent, was reduced to relying on a mob like the 'Prisoner Army' to quell the rebellion. It was already struggling to survive, and the building was about to collapse.

But it happened that the leader of this army of criminals and this rabble was Zhang Han, the young master of Qin.

With this army of hundreds of thousands of prisoners and a mob, Zhang Han actually won consecutive battles;
Fighting all the way from Xianyang to Guandong, the rebels, or in other words, the rebels were defeated steadily. It can be said that they were unstoppable and never lost!
If he hadn't met the desperate overlord Xiang Yu at the foot of Julu City, Zhang Han might not have left a mark in the history of Qing Dynasty: In the first year of Emperor Qin's reign, the rebels Xiang Yu and Liu Bang rebelled against Chu, and the young man Zhang Han Sent hundreds of thousands of prisoners, and settled the matter within a few months...

Zhang Han's desperate counterattack and almost bringing down the building may be due to his personal ability;
But whether it was Xiang Yu, the overlord who defeated Zhang Han, or Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was also the leader of the rebel army, they would never fail to admit that the main reason why Zhang Han's counterattack was so fierce was that Qin Shaofu accounted for it.

——Qin Shaofu is really too powerful...

So powerful that Zhang Han could equip hundreds of thousands of prisoners overnight and use them to suppress rebellion;
And he almost put down the rebellion!

And today's Han Shaofu, it is no exaggeration to say that it is an infinitely enhanced version of Qin Shaofu.

The existence of internal funds allows the Shaofu to dump any kind of bulk cargo at any time, including but not limited to: strategic resources such as grain, metals, weapons, salt and vinegar, as well as daily necessities such as cloth, meat, coins, etc.

The complete and huge light industry system gives Shaofu the ability to produce any kind of items that exist in the world in a short period of time - not just 'production', but mass production.

The special functions and huge scale mean that the human resources controlled by the Shaofu are almost in units of "one hundred thousand";

The most terrible thing is: in addition to having money, food and weapons - everything that exists in the world, and being able to produce and manufacture these things at any time, the Shaofu even has its own army...

An elite armed force that is independent of the entire military command system of the Han Dynasty and directly responsible to the emperor himself...

It is no exaggeration to say: the Shaofu is the smaller Han Dynasty court!
As long as the young master is in his own hands, the emperor of the old Liu family can straighten his back and shout at any time: Even if the whole world turns against him, with the young master here, I still have at least a 40% chance of winning!

On the other hand, what if the young master is not under his control?
What will happen if the emperor has no money? Just ask the emperor of a certain period in later generations...

As long as the emperor is not a fool - or even a fool who is seriously ill - he cannot ignore such a huge, complicated, and extremely practical department.

Naturally, the emperor's considerations for the chief officer of this department must be different from those of other departments.

Obviously, Emperor Qi was very satisfied with the current Shaofu Ling Cenmai.

Just satisfied, satisfied, Liu Rong is his son after all, and the big words have been spoken...

"Instructions to the young master: I accept all the requests of the eldest son of the emperor on behalf of the young master."

"As long as the Phoenix Palace can live in peace for a while, let that bastard make trouble..."

Hearing this, the man in black bowed and responded.

But after the emperor finished speaking, he stood up and paced back and forth in front of the imperial case for a long time.
Finally, he told the man in black: "Chao Cuo, the internal history officer, I plan to investigate."

"The key thing to check is the correspondence between Chao Cuo and the Legalists, as well as all the contents of the "Cutting the Fans Policy"."

"If necessary, it would be best to investigate Chao Cuo's clan members and disciples as well."

"Especially in those days, Chao Cuo first went to Yingchuan to learn elegant language, and then went to Jinan on the order of the late emperor to be taught "Shang Shu" by Fu Sheng - no matter what he found out, he had to send it to me word for word. In hand."
