When Mu Weizhou heard that Liu Qingping also recognized him and recommended Dou Tao to the Emperor and Empress, he felt that this person was not as ignorant as he thought. Naturally, he was quite happy. Seeing that the Emperor and Empress did not ask any more questions, he knew that the matter had come to an end. The stone in his heart was finally relieved. He stole a glance at Liu Meng, who was standing beside him, and realized that his brother was standing there calmly with a relaxed expression. It was hard to tell if he was as nervous as he was. Mu Weizhou thought he was overthinking things when he saw his reaction.
Emperor Ming and Empress Ma looked at each other after hearing Liu Qingping's words and did not ask further. Then Emperor Ming said to the Crown Prince who was standing quietly beside him,""Liu Meng, what have you been doing these past few days? How are your studies?"
"Father, I've been studying the Book of Changes with Teacher Huan Yu these few days." After this, your son prepared to go hunting.”
"Yes, if quality surpasses literature, then it will be wild, and if literature surpasses quality, then it will be history. You need to participate in more hunting.”Emperor Ming said," You said that you were learning the Book of Changes from your teacher. I'm asking you if you've learned Doujin Divination.”
Hearing this, Liu Hui bowed slightly and said,"Father, the same person is the thirteenth hexagram of the Yi hexagram. I have also learned it."”
"Oh?" When Emperor Ming heard this, he said with interest," In that case, tell me about it."”
Hearing this, Mu Weizhou was secretly impressed. When the emperor's father heard that his son was learning the Book of Changes, he was able to point out the specific hexagram. This son of the crown prince was not vague either. Not only did he calmly point out the hexagram, but he also seemed to have a plan. Mu Weizhou had also flipped through the Book of Changes before, but after flipping through a few pages, he was already confused by the Qian, Kun, litigation, teacher, and so on. As for Doujin, he had never even heard of it. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Liu He. He couldn't blame Liu He for not being willing to stay at home. His father, the emperor, would take the exam whenever he saw him. Moreover, he would take the exam with such perverted content. Who could stand it?
Actually, he was thinking too much. It was inevitable that Mu Weizhou had such a feeling towards the Book of Changes. The society was different now. After thousands of years of exploration, the simple way of thinking in the Book of Changes had been embodied into various clear theories. For example, the hidden dialect in it had guided the great victory of the Chinese revolution. The seemingly complicated divinatory symbols had also been transformed into "seeking truth from facts" and "concrete analysis of specific problems". Newton once said that he was great because he stood on the shoulders of giants. When you need to eat, you just need to learn how to use chopsticks. There's no need to go directly to the forest to cut wood. That was the job of a lumberjack. Moreover, the Book of Changes had been a subject of study for many years. The accompanying explanations were no less than the supplementary teaching books for the college entrance examination. Mu Weizhou was forced to study the book without any foundation. His passion for the Book of Changes made him unable to take a few steps forward.
However, it was different for Liu Meng. Since he was young, he had learned those things step by step, just like how he had learned one plus one equals two. He also had the best teachers in the world to guide him. In his opinion, the emperor's father's question might not be as difficult as solving a cubic function. He thought for a moment and said,"Your son believes that the Doujinshi hexagram is about unity. This Doujinshi hexagram is similar to the Harmony hexagram mentioned by Shi Bo and Confucius. Just like what 'Wild Man' had said, if a person could really unite everyone, then what else could he not do? However, there were all kinds of people in the world. It was very difficult to unite all of them. If a person wanted to achieve unity, they must first understand that there was a righteous path in the world. This righteous path was also the heavenly path, and everyone would eventually have to abide by it. It would not change because of people's thoughts. To be more specific, the righteous path was the path of a gentleman. the master said,"there are three ways of a superior man." he said,"a man of virtue has no worries, a man of wisdom has no doubts, and a man of courage has no fear.'Your son believes that benevolence, wisdom, and courage form the heart of a gentleman. Pursuing unity with the heart of a gentleman was the same as pursuing unity in the righteous path, the unity he pursued was true unity. People who pursue unity must have a united attitude, a tolerant attitude, and take the initiative to pursue unity. If a person had the world in his heart, he could not focus on the unity of the immediate and close clan, but should broaden his horizons and set his sights further. The goal of unity was to promote the righteous path. When there was no unity, there was no need to rush into action. Instead, there was more work and more thinking. In the process of pursuing unity, there would be difficulties. The relationship between people would be unstable. Therefore, one had to pay attention to methods. If one did not go too far, there would be leeway everywhere. This way, one could overcome difficulties together with everyone. The unity after overcoming difficulties together was true unity. If a group of people were truly united, they would at least be happy even if they did not achieve anything. If they did not succeed, it was just that it was not the right time.”
For some reason, Mu Weizhou thought of the revolutionary history of the party when Liu Meng said these words. He really didn't expect that the Book of Changes, which made one's head spin, actually talked about these principles. What was even rarer was that this brother of his, the Crown Prince, had actually directly explained the profound in simple terms. He could not help but be happy that he could have such a sworn brother.
Emperor Ming seemed to be very satisfied with Liu He's words. He stroked his beard and nodded with a smile."From what you said, it seems like you have a hidden meaning, which is rare. You are young, you must not be complacent. The Book of Rites says: "When you go far, you must be near. When you climb high, you must feel inferior."'Do you understand?"
"I understand." Liu Meng bowed slightly. But…"
"But what?" Emperor Ming looked at Liu He and said gently.
"Only, although your son knows the logic, it is extremely difficult to do it. If he really followed these principles, the outcome was unknown.”Liu Meng said cautiously.
Liu Qingping and Mu Weizhou heard his words and knew that he was talking about the fight yesterday. They felt that what he said made sense. Just as he was waiting to see what Emperor Ming would say, he suddenly became serious and said,""There's no harm in knowing the reason first!”
Seeing this, Liu Meng quickly nodded in agreement. Mu Weizhou found it funny when he heard that. He thought to himself,'So all fathers in the world are the same. They love to show off their authority at every turn, regardless of whether you're the emperor or the vice-principal.'
Just as he was thinking, Emperor Ming said,""Mu Weizhou, you saved me, so I should reward you well. Tell me honestly, other than martial arts, what else are you good at?”
When Emperor Ming said this, Mu Wei didn't say anything, but Liu Qingping couldn't hold it in anymore. She thought that the reason why she had come to see the Emperor today was to ask Mu Weizhou for a job. What recommendation of talents, what countermeasures against the Xiongnu, those were at most bonus points. The emperor would not make you a general just because you said a countermeasure to pacify the Xiongnu. She knew that before the Emperor decided to summon Mu Weizhou, he had already decided on what reward to give him. Through today's exchange, he was just confirming his thoughts and going through the formalities. It was just that Mu Weizhou's views on the Xiongnu were a little too outstanding. She was also worried that if the Emperor became high-spirited and really sent Mu Weizhou to the Gobi Desert to fight, it would not be fun. So she smiled and rushed to say," Uncle Emperor, Qingping heard him talk about it in private. The Great Han Dynasty wants to put in a lot of effort to develop the people's livelihood. Why don't you give him a job in this area?"”
As soon as Liu Qingping finished speaking, Empress Ma, who had been silent all this while, added,""Ping 'er, don't mess around. Let Weizhou speak for himself. Everything will be decided by the emperor!”
Liu Qingping understood what Empress Ma meant. Before Mu Weizhou came, this Emperor uncle had already made up his mind. What was certain now was that he probably wouldn't let Mu Weizhou go to the area of people's livelihood that she had just mentioned. Thinking of this, he stuck out his tongue and stood quietly to the side, not saying a word.
Hearing Liu Qingping's words, Mu Weizhou knew that she wanted to help him, but he did not know that she had so many thoughts behind her back. When she heard Empress Ma asking him to answer, she didn't know what to do. Since he was young, his parents had arranged everything for him. He had never made any decisions about big or small matters. Now, Ming Emperor Tiger asked him what he was good at. He was really vague. You said that he was good at martial arts, but ever since he fought with Jia Di, he realized that his martial arts were actually quite poor. You said you had read some poems, books, and articles and had some thoughts. Compared to Wang Chong, Ban Gu, and even Liu Wei, you were nothing. Thinking about it, he seemed to have gained something from playing games in the past two years. However, in an era where there was no electricity, this was not an advantage. Mu Weizhou lowered his head and thought for a while. After his face turned red, he looked up and said to Emperor Ming,""Your Majesty, I didn't think about what I'm good at before. Now that you've asked, I've thought about it carefully and realized that I really don't have anything I'm good at. Even the martial arts you mentioned just now is nothing compared to an expert. I think it's better if you don't give me an errand. It won't be good if I screw it up. I don't think it's a big deal to save someone. At that time, even if it wasn't for you, I might have helped, not to mention that I know you're a good emperor.”After saying that, she lowered her head again.
Mu Weizhou's words were very sincere and not pretentious. Everyone present could hear that he was stating from the bottom of his heart that he really could not perform any work. He was not just speculating. Emperor Ming was surprised to hear Mu Weizhou's words. In his impression, almost all the people who had met him, regardless of their age or talent, would try their best to get an opportunity to benefit from him. Very few people were like Mu Weizhou, who refused after thinking for a long time that he could not do anything. Moreover, he could tell that Mu Weizhou's words came from the bottom of his heart. Emperor Ming took a closer look at Mu Weizhou and suddenly felt that he was a rare commodity.
Actually, Mu Weizhou was in a very bad mood. When Emperor Ming asked him what he was good at, he knew that this was a good opportunity. However, the answer he came up with in the end was that he had nothing to offer and could do nothing. He felt very sad. Before he had this opportunity, he had always felt that he was very capable. His thoughts were different from others. He had read a lot of books and was tall and healthy. Only when things came to the point did he realize that he was a big piece of trash. After thinking about it, he felt a little confident because of his upbringing. His character was not bad, but who would say that he was a good person? Even if he was a good person, he could not make a living. Mu Weizhou felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about how he had lived so many years in self-deception. It was as if a knife was stabbing his back, and his mood was terrible. In fact, Mu Weizhou had thought too much of himself. Putting aside the fact that everything he did was ultimately based on being a person, his martial arts, his talent, and his understanding of people and things were all higher than ordinary people. However, he chose to compare his strengths with the best people in that field in this world. It was inevitable that he would lose confidence. From this point of view, at best, Mu Weizhou was strong, but at worst, he was not mentally prepared. Humans should act according to their abilities. There was no need to let the functions limit themselves. However, Mu Weizhou did not know.
Emperor Ming stroked his beard and said calmly,""Weizhou, don't be too humble. Ping-er said that you have ideas on developing the people's livelihood. Tell me about it.”
Mu Weizhou's words about developing the people's livelihood that day were completely based on the vertical comparison between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the modern era. It was something he took for granted. Liu Qingping had brought it up because she was afraid that Emperor Ming would send Mu Weizhou to guard the border. Emperor Ming had just heard Mu Weizhou's honest words, so he believed it to be true. Mu Weizhou was in a bad mood. He told the Emperor that it was just his opinion. He felt that no matter what the result was, he did not care. However, it would definitely affect Emperor Ming's opinion of Liu Qingping. He, Mu Weizhou, would never allow someone to suffer in order to help him. When he was in university, he had thought about how to improve the people's livelihood when he was bored. In the end, they came to a conclusion that anyone could come to-increase productivity. However, it was undoubtedly too funny to tell Emperor Ming about increasing productivity. Suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have read in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty that cattle were not allowed to be killed. He also thought of the farmers he had seen on the way from Guangling. He suddenly had an idea. He sorted out his mood and said,"Your Majesty, I don't have many thoughts about this. But I realized that when we Han people farm, we rely on manpower in many cases, whether it's pulling plows or transporting. Why can't we raise more cows and let them do these things? Cows would always be stronger than humans, so the area where food was grown would be larger.”
After Mu Weizhou said this, even Liu He, who had been standing quietly, had his eyes lit up. Naturally, Emperor Ming noticed the change in his expression. Emperor Ming smiled and said to Liu He,""Crown Prince, what do you think of Mu Weizhou's idea?”
"I think his idea is not bad." Liu Meng bowed slightly. However, there is one thing. The people are poor, and your son is worried that they can raise cows, but they can't afford them.”
Hearing this, Mu Weizhou suddenly thought of how his aunt's family in the countryside had bought a tractor through installments two days ago. Originally, his aunt's family couldn't afford a tractor, but the country seemed to have given them a preferential policy that allowed them to pay off the tractor in a few years. Moreover, their village's cooperative helped them pay a part of the down payment. Because of the tractor, the area of Little Aunt's house had expanded several times. Last year, when he visited his aunt's house during the Chinese New Year, he heard that even if he rented more land, he wouldn't be able to earn much money for a few years. However, after the tractor loan was paid off, he would be able to earn more money every year. Wasn't the tractor in modern society like the cow in the Eastern Han Dynasty?
When Mu Weizhou thought of this, he did not wait for anyone else to speak and said directly,"I have an idea. It was just that he did not know if the talisman matched the actual situation.”
Emperor Ming had the same thoughts as Liu He. When he heard that Mu Weizhou had a way, he said with interest,""Oh? What method? Tell me."
Mu Weizhou sorted out his thoughts and said,"Although the commoners can't afford cattle, the emperor can. The emperor could raise a lot of cattle and distribute them to the people. After a certain period of time, the people could decide to buy the cattle or pay rent. I think if we use cows to pull the plow instead of people, we can double the planting area, right? After a few years, the commoners should be able to afford cattle. If he still couldn't afford it by then, he would set a longer time.”After Mu Weizhou finished speaking, he also felt that he had thought of a good idea.
Hearing Mu Weizhou's words, Liu He was obviously excited. He bowed to Emperor Ming and said,""Imperial Father, your son feels that this is a method. The commoners will definitely benefit from it.”
How could Emperor Ming not know that this was a solution? If every household had a cow, not to mention doubling the production, even tripling it was not impossible. He did not expect the young man in front of him to solve such a big problem. However, it was impossible to do as Mu Weizhou said. If he really wanted to do this, he had to find his experienced old ministers to discuss it in depth and come up with a practical plan. At this moment, Emperor Ming suddenly had a worry. He regretted spending so much money to build the North Palace, Situ, and Sikong's residences. The money was used to raise cattle…
When Emperor Ming thought of this, he felt that Mu Weizhou was rare. Of course, he was also aware of Mu Weizhou's weakness-he was kind-hearted and lacked confidence due to his youth. Emperor Ming looked at the excited Crown Prince and said,""Crown Prince, how about you show this one Mu Weizhou?”
When the Crown Prince heard his father's words, he naturally knew what he meant. If he really wanted to know his evaluation of Mu Weizhou, he definitely wouldn't have asked this question in front of Mu Weizhou. This was obviously to do him a favor. Liu He thought, You don't know that Mu Weizhou and I don't need this kind of favor anymore. Liu Meng thought to himself, but his face regained its calmness. He said gently,""Your son and Mu Qing's family have never met before, so it's hard to judge. According to what Mu Qing's family said just now, he could be considered righteous.”
Emperor Ming laughed and turned to Mu Weizhou.""Mu Weizhou, please accept the title!"
Mu Weizhou was stunned when he heard that. He couldn't help but kneel down in front of Emperor Ming. Liu Qingping, who was beside him, craned her neck slightly to see what Emperor Ming would say next.
"Mu Weizhou is modest and virtuous, righteous and righteous. You have saved His Majesty. I confer you the title of the Crown Prince's concubine, with a salary of six hundred stones. I'm honored."
Mu Weizhou listened to Emperor Ming and kowtowed to thank him. However, he wasn't sure what kind of official the son of a concubine was. He knew that the rank ratio was 600 dan, which meant that the annual salary was 600 dan of grain.
How different were the weights and measures in the Eastern Han Dynasty compared to modern society? For example, one foot in the Eastern Han Dynasty was equivalent to more than twenty-three centimeters in modern times. Mu Weizhou was about 1.8 meters tall, which was about eight feet in the Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a stone of millet was equivalent to 18 kilograms in modern times. Generally speaking, a thousand grams of millet could be processed into 600 grams of coarse rice or 500 grams of polished rice. At that time, the official price of a stone of grain was said to be 220 coins. The officials 'salaries were half for grain and half for money. Mu Weizhou's salary of six hundred dan was equivalent to three thousand five hundred coins and twenty-one dan of grain per month. At that time, private employees were generally paid 1,000 yuan a month. Therefore, Mu Weizhou had already entered the exploiting class in terms of income, and could be considered to have a middle-high income. And Mu Weizhou, the son of a concubine, was equivalent to a modern official.
After Emperor Ming had finished giving the title, he told Mu Weizhou that he could leave. Mu Weizhou was about to walk out in a daze when he suddenly remembered something. He quickly took out the Ode to the Two Cities and presented it to Emperor Ming. After Emperor Ming accepted it, he asked Mu Weizhou to leave without saying anything.
When Mu Weizhou exited the Hall of Proclamation, he realized that he was drenched. He looked up at the sun and estimated that he had been inside for almost an hour. For Mu Weizhou, this hour felt like a year. Not only did he have to be overcautious when he said a word, but he also made himself into a big piece of trash. It was really not worth it. He calmed down for a while and realized that Liu Qingping and Liu Meng had not come out with him. Moreover, the young eunuch beside him did not seem to have any intention of bringing him out. He could only stand a little further away and wait for someone to come out.
After waiting for another fifteen minutes, Liu Qingping walked out of the Xuande Hall with a smile. Liu Meng followed behind, still maintaining a serious expression. When Mu Weizhou saw the two of them, he felt at ease. He was about to say something when he saw Liu Qingping smile and make a gesture to stop talking, so he didn't say anything. He followed Liu Meng and Liu Qingping, and after a series of twists and turns, they arrived at the Eastern Palace.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Eastern Palace, Liu He turned around. His face was no longer as secretive as before. He returned to his usual appearance from last night. He smiled and cupped his fists at Mu Weizhou."Big brother, little brother Liu Meng greets you.”
Mu Weizhou instinctively cupped his fists in return. Suddenly, he remembered that Liu He was the Crown Prince and he felt that it was inappropriate to be his elder brother. He hurriedly said,"Your Highness, I…"
Before Mu Weizhou could say anything else, Liu Meng interrupted him. He looked at Liu Qingping and said unhappily,"Sister Qingping, you saw it, right? I told you that if Brother Mu knew my true identity, he would definitely be different.”
Liu Qingping burst out laughing. You have foresight! However, you are still the Crown Prince of the Great Han Dynasty. Brother Mu is not wrong to treat you like this, right?!”
After hearing this, Liu Meng looked at Liu Qingping in distress and said,""Sister Qingping, from what you've said, you seem to be Big Brother Mu's sister instead of mine. Could it be that the Crown Prince could not become sworn brothers with others like ordinary people?”
Mu Weizhou saw that the two of them could actually blame each other because of a casual sentence, and he was caught in the middle. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's so great about that? You are the Crown Prince of the Great Han Dynasty, and one day, you will become the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty. You can only be like this for the rest of your life.”Liu Qingping said with a smile. Seeing Liu Meng's distressed look, she continued," Besides, there's nothing to be distressed about. I think it's better for you to address each other as brothers in private and as lords in public.”After saying that, he looked at Liu He and Mu Weizhou with a questioning gaze.
Liu Meng happily agreed.
Mu Weizhou naturally did not object. The reason why he was able to become sworn brothers with Liu Meng was naturally because he treated Liu Meng as his own brother. In his heart, Liu Meng was the knowledgeable Ma Xiaoda who dared to challenge Jia Di alone. Furthermore, Mu Weizhou had no concept of the Crown Prince or the Emperor. Even if he knew that Liu He was the Crown Prince, and his attitude towards him might change slightly, he would not have the same mentality as the people of that time towards the Emperor and the Crown Prince. He immediately called Liu Meng his little brother.
Liu Qingping was very happy to see that the two had come to an agreement. Of course, her happiness was mainly because Mu Weizhou had been made the son of the Crown Prince by Emperor Ming. She looked at Mu Weizhou and thought for a moment before saying,""Big Brother Mu, although you and the Crown Prince are sworn brothers, you've already been conferred the title of the Crown Prince's concubine by Uncle Emperor.”
"To tell you the truth, I have no idea what this so-called crown prince's concubine's son does. Why don't I tell the emperor one day not to let me do this, I'm afraid it will delay things.”Mu Weizhou continued.
"Humph!" When Liu Qingping heard Mu Weizhou's words, she became angry and pouted." You two are really a pair of idiots." One only knew how to recite, while the other did not do anything. No wonder the two of you became brothers!”
Mu Weizhou and Liu Meng looked at each other. They really didn't know what they had done to offend Liu Qingping, why she was suddenly angry at them.
It seemed that Liu Meng was already used to Liu Qingping's appearance, so he ignored her and explained to Mu Weizhou.
It turned out that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the crown prince's team usually had more than ten people, who were in charge of the crown prince's government affairs, learning, diet, daily life, and so on. The person in charge of this team was the young master. Other than managing more than ten subordinates, his main job was to supervise and educate the Crown Prince's learning and growth. He enjoyed an annual salary of two thousand stones and was considered a high official of the country. In the Han Dynasty, the highest salary of officials was 2000 koku, including the three dukes, nine ministers, and the officials of the border.
Among the dozen or so subordinates of the Young Master Fu, the Crown Prince Commander was the specific executor of the Crown Prince's class. His functions were somewhat similar to the current director of the Central Office, but the person in charge was the Crown Prince. This position had an annual salary of 1,000 koku. His direct subordinates were the Crown Prince's concubines and Scheeren. The son of the prince's concubine was in charge of the prince's guards and security. He was equivalent to the head of the prince's personal attendants. His annual salary was four hundred stones. There were several Scheeren of the Crown Prince, who were in charge of the safety of the Crown Prince under the leadership of the Crown Prince's concubine. Their annual salary was 200 stones.
The Crown Prince's finances, food, and other internal affairs were managed by the Crown Prince's family order, with an annual salary of 1,000 stone. His direct subordinates were the six hundred dan Crown Prince Cang Ling and the Crown Prince Food Officer.
The Crown Prince's servant was in charge of the Crown Prince's carriage and travel arrangements, and his annual salary was 1,000 stones. His direct subordinate was the 400-dan Crown Prince Palace Head.
In addition, there was also a doctor from the Crown Prince's family who was responsible for the Crown Prince's peripheral security and had an official salary of 600 stone. The son of a concubine who acted as a consultant and had a salary of six hundred stone; When going out, there were six hundred stone prince washing horses, four hundred stone prince middle shield and four hundred stone prince guard.
Mu Weizhou's position was the son of the Crown Prince's concubine. His salary should have been four hundred stones, but Emperor Ming had specially ordered his salary to be set at six hundred stones. This was probably due to Mu Weizhou's rescue of the Emperor.
When Mu Weizhou heard that he had suddenly changed from an ordinary citizen to a "bodyguard", he couldn't help but feel that the jump was really abrupt. Thinking about how people like Wang Chong and Ban Chao couldn't get any official position even though they were only a few decades old, and how he had become the head of the Crown Prince's guards overnight, he couldn't help but be speechless.
"Hmph, Uncle Emperor is also stingy. Big Brother Mu's martial arts were strong and his views were very good, so Uncle Emperor gave him a small official position as the son of a concubine.”Liu Qingping had been throwing a tantrum at the side, but seeing that the two " idiots " were ignoring her, she felt bored and found an opportunity to interrupt.
Hearing this, Mu Weizhou thought to himself," According to Liu He, the son of the Crown Prince's concubine is in charge of the Crown Prince's guards. The responsibility is not light. I don't even know if I can bear it. Moreover, the salary is a specific 600 stone, which is equivalent to the salary of the provincial governor of the thirteen provinces. How can I think that this position is small?"
Hearing Liu Qingping's words, Liu Meng smiled and said,""Sister Qingping, in your opinion, what kind of official position should we give big brother?”
Liu Qingping looked at Liu Meng and said with a proud expression,""Why did you let Brother Mu be the son of the Crown Prince's concubine? You should have let him be the Crown Prince's commander. The main thing is that Brother Mu is young and inexperienced. Otherwise, I don't think it would be a problem to let him be the Guardian of Gold.”
Liu Meng's face revealed a mocking expression.""Sigh, it's a pity that your surname is Liu and not Yin!”
Mu Weizhou wanted to explain his thoughts to Liu Qingping, but he didn't know why Liu Meng suddenly said this. He looked at the two of them in confusion. When Liu Qingping heard this, her face turned red and she couldn't say anything.
It turned out that there was a hidden meaning in Liu He's words. He was referring to his and Liu Qingping's grandparents, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua.
When Liu Xiu had not made a name for himself, he had once visited Xinye. He heard that the daughter of a rich local family, Yin Lihua, had a good character and was very beautiful. He admired her very much. Later, when he was studying in Chang 'an, he saw Zhijinwu walking by on the street. The scene was spectacular and magnificent. He was deeply moved and said," An official should be treated as Zhijinwu, and a wife should marry Yin Lihua." After Liu Xiu made a name for himself, he married Yin Lihua, and that sentence became a legend. And Yin Lihua was Liu Qing and Liu Qing Ping's grandmother. The reason why Liu Meng said that was to tease Liu Qingping, saying that she wanted Mu Weizhou to be the Guardian of Gold and even treated herself as Yin Lihua. Unfortunately, her surname was not Yin. Liu Qingping naturally knew what he meant. She was suddenly shy and speechless. That was why it was said that when a kind person joked, they were sometimes even more ruthless.
Seeing Liu Qingping's sorry state, Liu Meng didn't dare to go overboard. He and Liu Qingping had been close since they were young, but every time he fought with Liu Qingping, he would most likely end up at a disadvantage. He quickly said seriously,"Sister Qingping's words are wrong. I think Imperial Father's arrangement is very good. Why do you think Imperial Father arranged for Eldest Brother to be the Crown Prince's concubine son? Father must have trusted Big Brother's martial arts and character. The son of the prince's concubine was directly in charge of the prince's Scheeren. One had to know that the Crown Prince's Scheeren were all chosen from prestigious and good families. They would most likely become the pillars of the Great Han Dynasty in the future. Big brother is about the same age as me, so I think it would be best if he could enter the Imperial Court through this method. In addition, the prince's concubines had the prince's command and the prince's Scheeren. Even if the eldest brother did not know much about the department, he was not afraid of messing things up. Moreover, his father had set the salary at six hundred dans to inform the relevant people of his big brother's special identity and to make it easier for him to do things in the future. If it's like what you said, letting big brother do it is more efficient. I think this kind of position with great responsibility is not suitable for big brother who has no experience in the past. Sister Qingping, there's nothing small in this country.”
Mu Weizhou nodded repeatedly after hearing Liu He's words. Thinking about how he was able to take on the responsibility of being Liu He's personal guard, he had a sense of understanding towards Emperor Ming and gained some confidence.
Liu Qingping was not really dissatisfied with Emperor Ming giving Mu Weizhou a 600-dan Crown Prince Scheeren. She could understand the reasoning behind it. It was just that she was worried and confused. She was angry that the two of them had ignored her just now, so she deliberately said that. Now that Liu Meng had analyzed the situation, he felt that his words were logical and logical. He was overjoyed. Thinking of his last sentence, he realized that after not seeing him for a year, this "silly brother" in front of him really looked like the Crown Prince. He said,"Hmm, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a year,'Little Silly' would actually become much smarter than before. Looking at your 'no small matter' appearance, you seem to be on the same side as that younger sister Dou Tao.”
When Mu Weizhou and Liu Meng heard Liu Qingping mention Dou Tao, they suddenly became more energetic. One of them said that his big brother had reacted quickly just now, and the other was a strange brother who did things without giving himself away. The two of them talked as they walked into the Eastern Palace, but in the end, they left Liu Qingping alone. As the two of them talked, the topic was all focused on Dou Tao, causing Liu Qingping to regret talking too much. Later on, Liu He suggested that Mu Weizhou should take advantage of his promotion to organize a banquet and invite some people to celebrate. Mu Weizhou agreed with his words, because he would be able to meet his good friends again in a justified manner. Liu Qingping listened coldly from the side and was secretly annoyed. She thought to herself that the two fools didn't know many people in total. How could they have any good friends?
The three of them chatted one after another. Then, Liu He summoned the emperor's commander and some other subordinates to get to know Mu Weizhou. During this time, Liu He also told the prince to arrange as little daily work for Mu Weizhou as possible and let him follow him often. In less than an afternoon, Mu Weizhou had completely understood his duties as the son of the Crown Prince. That night, he was asked by Liu Meng to stay in the Eastern Palace for the first time in his life. Liu Qingping didn't return to Sunset Smoke Hall either. In Luoyang, the Imperial Palace was her home. The reason why she had stayed in the Sunset Smoke Hall was entirely because of Mu Weizhou.
Mu Weizhou did not expect that he would stay for a month. He did not expect that he would become a part of this building that represented the highest authority in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had never expected that he, who had walked for nearly two thousand years, would be able to get a particularly decent job in this world. When he thought about how he not only had no worries about food and clothing in this world, but also had reliable friends and powerful backers, he couldn't help but feel that staying for more than a year was a little too short.
