The peaceful days lasted until late June. Cao Shi's daily routine was adjusted to the best state, and his bad habits of loving nightlife in his previous life were also completely changed. He gradually developed the habit of turning off the lights and sleeping on time as soon as the day went dark.

The lack of nightlife also made him bored. Wenshi Fan Taguang arranged a compact schedule for him, and he no longer had time to complain about his monotony and boring life. He got up at mid-March (6 o'clock in the morning) every day, had a meal and rest for half an hour, and then practiced for half an hour in the morning. In the morning, according to Wenshi's arrangements, he practiced riding, shooting and fighting skills in the afternoon.

Although Sun Qi, a doctor from the school, had a very different approach to Junhou's riding, shooting and fighting skills, what made him feel relieved was that although Junhou had become very naughty, he was also training harder than before. He could not understand the complex idea of ​​being a human being in his second life. The reliance that he could rely on in the era of cold weapons was not the rule of law, but the strong body and weapons in his hands.

The life creed that Cao Shi could not defeat at least escape. Even if he took a step back, he could not survive in the Han Dynasty. He could still be an ancient traveler with a three-foot green sword in his hand. Maybe the notes he left behind thousands of years later could be sold at a sky-high price.

The little thoughts in his heart are not worth telling. What made him most troubled was settlement of accounts. Pingyang Houguo has a large territory and a large population. The Dian Ce records that there are more than 22,000 households and more than 91,100 households. The household registration and population are about one-tenth of Hedong County. In Hedong, it is second only to several major counties within Hedong County.

However, after the rebellion of the seven kings of Wu and Chu, the military power of the princes was taken away, and the Marquis were unfortunately implicated. Now the Marquis' Mansion of Pingyang is only the privilege of collecting food, clothing, rent and taxes in the Marquis' State. All the governance powers were taken away by the Marquis' Chief of Marquis. The Marquis' Chief of Marquis was directly managed by the Hedong Prefect and there was no need to take care of the Marquis' attitude.

Two days later, Hu Sui, the princess's mansion, came to ask for a meeting. Uncle Chen felt that Junhou was in good health and could meet the guests before he let him enter the mansion.

Hu Sui was not good-looking and was very short, but he had a pair of rat eyes shining brightly. When he entered the main hall of the Hou Mansion, he leaned over and bowed and said, "The foreign minister Hu Sui paid homage to the Lord and Hou. His Highness asked him to greet the Lord and Hou. The princess said that the scenery this year was not good. A few months ago, the great wizard in the capital prayed to the heavens and learned that the gods were furious and would cause disasters to come. It was indeed fulfilled in Guanzhong in just three months."

The location of the Pingyang Marquis State is not closed. A few days ago, there were rumors that the capital was shaking three times a day. The tiles in Changle Weiyang trembled, which alarmed the blind old lady in Changxin Palace to inquire about the disaster. In order to deal with the old lady, the emperor issued an edict to order the county and state to strengthen their guards and initiate corvee service in the earthquake area to repair houses to treat the victims.

The tremor inside Sanfu was strong. On the 22-day period of the quake in Shangyong in southern Guanzhong, the house collapsed and the city wall destroyed thousands of households and were buried in the ruins. The casualties and wounded were countless. The earthquake affected Sanfu, Sanhe and other areas. Millions of people were affected by earthquake disasters, and at least tens of thousands were displaced.

Not only that, the turmoil caused by an earthquake was not the case, but many strange rumors were circulating quietly in the market. People inside and outside the capital were panicked and no one could tell what terrible things would happen. The divination of several great wizards was also very bad. Prime Minister Tao Hou Liu She was so upset by a mess of messing things.

Hu Sui leaned over and said, "Yesterday, His Highness the Princess sent someone to send a message. His Highness asked the Lord and the Marquis to come to the capital as soon as possible. Since the mourning period ended, His Highness the Princess hoped that the Lord and the Marquis would live like a year. He was very worried when he learned that the Lord and the Marquis were sick. If it weren't for the uneasy capital, he would definitely come to serve the Lord and the Marquis in person."

"Why should the Hu family be anxious these days? You have lived in the Marquis' Mansion for many days and you should know the Marquis' recovery. When the Marquis' health is well, you will go to the capital." Uncle Chen doesn't like Hu Sui very much. He thinks this man is a cunning person who is good at flattery and flattery. Beware of guarding when talking to such people. Most of the Marquis' Mansion have similar views. Most of the people who pass by Hu Sui are mostly cold-eyed.

"After the mourning period of the king and marquis have expired, he must participate in the sacrifice in August. In August, the emperor led the princes and kings to sacrifice to the Taimiao to serve gold to assist in the sacrifice. If the king and marquis fail to go, he will be punished by the emperor. This punishment may lead to the loss of the marquis." Hu Sui said something that should not have been said, which attracted the anger of several marquis' horses to wash their horses.

"The Hu family is reckless and disrespectful to the king and marquis. It should be whipped two hundred times."

"You are just a slave in your family who dares to threaten the king. You deserve it even if you beat you to death today!"

On the left, he said 200 whip and on the right, he deserved to be beaten to death. Sun, a doctor from the gang who had a force explosion table, pressed his sword with his gloomy eyes swept around Hu Sui's neck. Hu Sui was so scared that he was sweating all over his head and fought. He knelt down and begged for mercy: "Mr. Please spare your life, and said disobedient words in his head. Please spare your life."

Cao Shi smiled without saying a word. The fresh tea picked from Lingling County was fryed and the smell was fragrant and elegant. As the best drink for the kings of Changsha in all dynasties, there were actually a lot of wild mountain teas in Guiyang, Lingling, Changsha and other counties, and the people of Jingman also like to pick it down and dry it as a drink.

"The king will not kill Hu Family Ling because of the precious life of Hu Family Ling, but because of the princess' face. The ancients often said that one will gain wisdom after one's mistake. Hu Family Ling should gain more wisdom in the future. If there is a head of his neck next time, he will move." Fan Taguang frightened Hu Sui's face so blue. When he looked at Cao, he looked at something called awe.

If a bad slave deceives the master, he will be able to do it at the least and behead the city and behead the market at the worst. Hu Sui has a few heads that are not enough to cut.

Several family officials took turns to scare Hu Sui, and kept bowing and begging for mercy. When they saw the maid who brought tea and water, they were also bowing. The maids laughed at him for being stupid and stupid, and then they said that they were ashamed and almost found a crack in the ground to get into it.

After teasing for a while, Cao Shi ordered: "Go back and tell the princess that Hedong is separated from the capital. Pingyang can go downstream from the river for two days to Fenglingdu. Take a boat across the Wei River and go west for three days to enter the capital. At the latest, it will definitely arrive before the July 15th day. Please wait for the princess."

Hu Suiru received a general amnesty and escaped in a panic.

Seeing that he was as powerful as a defeated dog, the officials clapped and praised him and exclaimed. Many people found that Junhou had changed a little differently after he recovered from his serious illness, and he was more tough and decisive than before. Some people were incredible when they repelled Ding Hui in the previous episode. Today, Hu was scared away and made people eye-open. When the Hou Mansion mentioned Junhou again, they felt more respect from the heart.

Just after the afternoon, a noise came from outside the mansion. Seven or eight blacksmiths ran into the mansion in panic and shouted that the government had arrested people. The doctor Sun Qi led the servants to come over with sticks. Seeing that the blacksmith's workshop was tossed and messed up, the iron stove was blocked by a pile of debris, and the iron pot and ironware were gone.

Sun Qi hurried back to the Hou Mansion. Seeing that the family officials gathered together, he came to know what he saw and heard. Finally, he said: "The craftsmen said that it was the servants brought by Hou Lingchang to investigate the workshop. A batch of newly made iron pots were confiscated, and they also took Lu Buhe, the blacksmith's family supervisor."

"What's the reason?" Uncle Chen asked.

"It is said that it is because the Marquis' Mansion has a problem in purchasing a large amount of iron materials."

Everyone discussed for a while but saw no results. The official of the Hou State took the written letter from Hou Lingchang to pay homage to the Hou Mansion. What disappointed was that the minor official was speechless and did not know anything about it. It was clearly used to send a message as a cannon fodder for the Hou Mansion's punching bag. Of course, Cao Shi would not step into such a clumsy trap and waved his hand to send the minor official who sent the letter back.

"It's so damning!" Cao Shi threw the wooden slips under the hall. The curved red pens on the wooden slips were the answer of Hou Lingchang Ding Hui, who kept saying that he would use these weird or useless iron pots as evidence. As for what evidence he wanted to search for, it was still unclear.

Uncle Chen glanced at the indignant expression of the officials of the Hou Mansion, and took the lead in expressing his determination: "The king and the lord must take action to deal with this villain. The lord's mansion has his illegal actions. You can tell the prefect Shen Tu to arrest him for the first trial."

When he spit out the last few words, he was immediately murderous. Duke Shentu was the second son of the late Prime Minister Shentu Jia, and his younger brother Shentu Gong, the current Hou Shentumi of Gu'an. This person had a very good political reputation in the second year of Hedong. The salt production in Hedong Salt Pond increased by 20%. He had hope to enter the ranks of the nine ministers within ten years.

Moreover, he belonged to the group of meritorious liuhous and had always had good friends with liuhous in the county, especially with the green eyes of Pingyang marquis. It seems that it is related to Pingyang marquis' leadership position among liuhous. Of course, it is very easy to find him to deal with a small Ding Hui.

"It's not appropriate. Ding Huiru has always been a ants. He relies on the commander Zhou Yangyou and cannot be underestimated. I know very well about Zhou Yangyou's origin. After changing his surname to Zhou Yang, he became the Langguan all the way. At the beginning of the year, he became the Hedong commander and the prefect Shentu Gong fought for power. This person relies on Lieutenant Ning Cheng and the prefect of Yanmen Zhidu had a close personal relationship with him."

Uncle Chen's face turned pale: "Gaying Zhidu."

The names of the people Fan Taguang pointed out are extraordinary. Everyone knows the name of Zhidu. In Cao Shi's memory, all the princes and kings and lords hated him to the core. This person, on the surface, impartially enforced the law and secretly implemented the suppression strategy of Emperor Jing of Han. All common people who had disputes with princes and lords and lords were judged to win the common people.

If you encounter the princes and the princes and the strong resistance of the princes, the lieutenant's northern army will instantly let them know that they are powerful. For the princes and princes who have experienced the rebellion of the seven kings of Wu and Chu, Zhi is an enemy that cannot be accused of, and he is even more terrified of the weaker princes.

As a loyal dog of imperial power, Zhidu bit his designated enemy hard, which in a sense did leave a good reputation in Chang'an, but his biting eventually touched someone he shouldn't have touched, deposed crown prince Liu Rong.

This trick of death finally angered Empress Dowager Dou. In the end, Zhidu shot himself in the foot. Fortunately, Emperor Jing of Han arranged for the prefect in Yanmen to be the prefect of Emperor Jing of Han. He secretly still supported his friends, Lieutenant Ning Cheng, and Hedong Commander Zhou Yangyou.

Zhidu was not dead yet, but he was not far from death. Cao Shi still remembered that Zhidu could not survive in the late years of Emperor Jing. When the old lady of the Dou family learned that he was still in the world, it was Zhidu's death date.

But Cao Shi was still in a dilemma. There were few people as straightforward as Zhidu among the cruel officials. If you offend villains, you would always worry about being retaliated against.

"The emperor's hawk and dog, the cruel officials of Chang'an, I must be more cautious!"

——

PS: The 22,000 households in the Hou State were not a nonsense. The population of Emperor Wu at the end of Emperor Jing was 36 million, and by the end of Emperor Wu, the population of 32 million, the annual population growth rate in the 70th year of Emperor Han was about 1% to 2%. Just calculate it and you will know that Emperor Wu would say "the domestic waste is used, and the household registration is reduced by half." Cao Zong was exempted from the Hou State in 91 BC. At that time, the number of households in the Hou State was 23,000. Combined with the population of Emperor Wu in the early years, the number of 22,000 households was already very conservative.
