Luoyang Xiguo, Yanxili.

The residence of Cheng Huang, the official of the Grand Inner. Early this morning, Mrs. Cheng rushed back from the palace to meet her adoptive father.

Although Mrs. Cheng was His Majesty's mother, she rarely ate human breasts after His Majesty's Yuanfu. Therefore, Mrs. Cheng's mother's identity was mostly in name only. Mrs. Cheng still had her. She had food with Xu Feng, the order of Yongxiang, and let Xu Feng get food. Now Xu Feng colluded with Taiping rebels and fled. It was useless to stay, so she simply fed many "palace sons" in the palace.

Bi Lan, the commander of the Yeting, was selecting the right age from many "palace children" and sent them to Yongle Palace to expel ghosts. This incident was learned when Mrs. Cheng was fed.

"Father." Seeing that Cheng Huang looked as normal, Mrs. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, the old beast is still in its twilight moments. Cheng Huang will not die for a day, and Mrs. Cheng will be free of worries for a day. In this deep palace, no one dares to touch her.

"Why did you leave the palace today?" Cheng Huang asked.

"I have been unsure recently. I want to ask my father for advice." Mrs. Cheng said bluntly.

"What's unknown."

"Empress Dowager Yongle selected the 'palace' of two-year-old 'palace' in Yeting, and was one of the 'ghost-eliminated boys'." Mrs. Cheng said: "Last night, Empress Dowager Dou ordered me to go to Yuntai and asked about many old news in the palace, and gave this item to the second."

"Oh? What are you giving me?" Cheng Huang asked.

"A pair of round tiles." As he said that, he took out a pair of round jade earrings.

"This thing is called 'Hehuan Yuanli'. It was a thing that Zhao Zhaoyi (Zhao Hede) gave to the Empress (Zhao Feiyan) during the reign of Emperor Cheng. When the late emperor was married, it was given to Empress Dowager Dou. It was an ancient object in the former Han Palace." It was worthy of Cheng Huang, and he could tell at a glance.

"How much does it cost?" Mrs. Cheng asked hurriedly.

"Priceless treasure." Cheng Huang replied with a smile. But he thought in his heart, what does Empress Dowager Dou give to him with the Queen's belongings mean?

"If you leave the gold and water quality house, how much can you sell?" Mrs. Cheng blurted out.

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

"Hiss——" Cheng Huang couldn't help but suck a chill. As the adopted daughter said, the only place where this thing can be paid for is gold and water. In other words, Empress Dowager Dou gave her a priceless treasure, but she implied that she could make the treasure visible. Could it be that this matter is also related to King Ji?

"Is it possible that Empress Dowager Dou knew that Xu Feng was absconded and met me for food?" said Mrs. Cheng.

"Why did my daughter say this?" Cheng Huang was stunned.

"Is this thing called 'Hehuan Yuanhu'? Isn't it true that Hehuan means hehuan?" Mrs. Cheng replied.

Cheng Huang was stunned again, but shook his head apart and said, "Empress Dowager Dou, this is not the case."

"Why did my father know?" Mrs. Cheng was puzzled.

Cheng Huang smiled and said, "The so-called 'eating marrow and knowing the taste'. If you want to stop, you must have tasted the sweetness. Empress Dowager Dou entered the palace in the eighth year of Yanxi (165), and was named a nobleman. In the same year, the empress was established. Although she was the queen, she was not favored by the late emperor. In the first year of Yongkang (167), the late emperor passed away and was respected as the queen. Because the late emperor had no son, the Hou Jieduting was appointed as the new emperor."

"My father said that the late emperor never shared the same bed with Empress Dowager Dou." Mrs. Cheng was shocked.

"At that time, the late emperor was disguised as a sensation and had long been disembodied. He was terminally ill and his human relations were all deprived. Although he had been together with his bed several times, he had no husband and wife. I expected that Empress Dowager Dou is still in a perfect state." Speaking of this, Cheng Huang couldn't help but sigh: "I, Emperor and Empress Dowager Dou, are not just Empress Dowager Dou."

"Who else is so miserable?" Mrs. Cheng asked in surprise.

"Empress Xiaohui." Cheng Huang replied again.

"Since that's the case, why did Empress Dowager Dou give me a round flower?" asked Mrs. Cheng.

"'Hehuan' is also called 'Given the whole people and enjoy'. The sages of the previous Han Dynasty said that 'The two countries are happy together, and Yan Qi is at peace'." Speaking of this, Cheng Huang has already understood his meaning: "Tomorrow I will enter the palace and pay homage to Your Majesty, the Queen and the two Empress Dowagers."

"The two countries have fun together, and Yan Qi is at peace." Mrs. Cheng seemed to have realized something.

"Daughter, don't think about the deep meaning of this thing. Just know that Empress Dowager Dou uses this thing to invite her father to come to the palace to meet him." As he spoke, Cheng Huang seemed to be ten years younger.

"Does my father want to take over the power again?" Mrs. Cheng suddenly woke up.

"Daughter, let's wait and see."

"What should we do if the two countries have already enjoyed each other, and there is one country left?" Cheng Huang sighed: "The power of the tripod is completed."

Mrs. Cheng seemed to understand what my father said, but she still had something in her heart: "Why did the Yongle Palace choose only a two-year-old boy?"

"It may be to chase ghosts, or to chase 'true ghosts'." Cheng Huang also expressed his profound meaning.

Mrs. Cheng wanted to ask questions, but before she could say anything, she stopped herself. My father always said halfway through the words. It was futile to ask again. She was always confused.

As my father said before, let’s wait and see. There will always be a day when the truth will come out.

Dongguo, Su City.

The secret room hidden under the business shop was finally revealed.

"Report to the lieutenant, there is no one in the secret room!" The soldier came to report.

"Search again!" The Yueqi Captain He Miao was disappointed. Could it be that someone leaked the news? The eight passes of Luoyang were all in He Jin's hands, and Xu Fengding had not been able to escape. If he was not in Sushi, where was it?

"I thought I could get it right, but I didn't expect it would be a tough job." He Miao looked up at the towering granary beside him and sighed.

Longshan, Dashiguancheng.

After taking over Han Sui, he built a fortune for several months and was about to be completed.

Guancheng is located on the top of Longshan Mountain, and the lower city surrounds the east and west saka. Along the rolling mountain hills, Xisaka is directly established as terraces. Dongban is established as Guanshan pasture. The valley in Banzhong has been arranged to build guest houses, residences, ponds, and wine houses. If you pass through Longguangu Road, go west from the entrance of "Dongkouyi" and enter the entrance of "Fenshuiyi" from the entrance of "Fenshuiyi". Then you can cross Dazhenguan Pass to get around the east and west.

Since Liu Bei stationed here, the people of Xiliang who had previously fled to Guanzhong also gathered in Guanxia and were unwilling to travel westward. Liu Bei then ordered man to build a dry and heavy building to make it live in peace. It is not suitable for farming in the mountains, and then transplanted fruit trees such as "Qian Peach (Walnut)" and "Sea Buckthorn" to build horse farms and sheep prisons. He also specially introduced many famous products in Ji Country, such as golden silk blankets, lou Sang mats and other skills to allow him to leave the farmland and be fed and clothing. The Silk Road is filled with gold. The Guanshan Mountains are in a rush, and there are many livelihoods that can be made on both sides.

In particular, Liu Bei identified the "sea buckthorn tree" that was later called "holy fruit" and "makes the horses shining". Feeding war horses in moderation should have miraculous effects. Not only horses like to eat, but soldiers also like to eat them. They squeezed them into juice and put them in bamboo tubes to sell them, which was called "thorn juice". Later, it became a best-selling drink that was comparable to "Qinggan" in Xilin Horse Farm.

Guancheng, Yunxia Palace.

The five major planners have a rare leisure time. The busiest Tian Feng and Ju Su also handed over the affairs of the Qiang people and Han civilians to Shi Gaixun, the head of the shogun from the west of Luoyang and Fu Xie, the doctor.

The 50,000 coalition forces in the Western Regions should not be left for a long time. After the spring of the New Year, the two Protectors' Offices should be handed over to the two Protectors' Offices to lead the troops back. The Standing Coalition forces in the Western Regions should be built and stationed in the city of Taqian and other cities. The troops and wealth all come from the fifty-five countries. The Western Regions' Protectors' Offices are trained and commanded. The fifty-five countries and fifty-six kings must respond enthusiastically. The establishment of the coalition forces, and the Protectors' Offices and the fifty-five countries are comparable to the formation of military alliances. The kings of each country first became in-laws with King Ji, and then formed an alliance with the Protectors' Offices. Under the dual bonds, integration and unification are just around the corner.

As for the Longyou garrison, Liu Bei had ordered the shogunate generals to recruit new recruits as appropriate.

After receiving a handwritten letter from 600 miles of Luoyang, I knew that the Ji State had added three counties, so how could the planners not be happy?

"The fire in July is flowing, and the clothes are given in September."

The country was given a new title and Longyou was safe. Li Ru, the right chief of the Protectorate, suggested that why not have a big banquet for the ministers and have fun with the people?

Liu Bei nodded happily.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the generals of the shogunate, the western officials of the Protectorate, the subordinates of Liangzhou, the right of the Xizhou Haoyou, the thirty-six tribes of Qiangqu, the twelve tribes of Di chiefs, and Qideng Dazhen Pass.
