Peach Blossom

Chapter 57:

The staff expects that there will be homes within ten miles.

The result is less than a mile from the small temple, the road is narrow and bumpy, and it is impossible to walk, so I have to walk.

Rough and steep mountain roads, dense mountains and forests on both sides of the road, it was fine at first, but when we climbed to the top of the mountain, the golden crow gradually faded to the west. At a glance, it seems that mountains, trees, flowers, and grass are all in the light of fire.

It’s a sight to behold. The King of Han looked around curiously, full of amazement.

The road is difficult and dangerous, and the exhaustion is gone. Such a beautiful sight to behold.

The wind swayed through the forest, and it was dark all around, the branches and leaves rattled, accompanied by the chirping of insects, so it was not scary.

She kept her voice extremely low, lest something terrifying be evoked.

The staff only thought that Your Highness was worried and went the wrong way, and reassured: “Your Highness, don’t worry, it should be nearby.”

Some of them brought a bit of dullness into the ears.

A Yao said that monsters like to practice in deep mountains and old forests. Han Wang shuddered.

The staff said again: “Your Highness is cold?”

“Ah?” Han Wang subconsciously said, and when he realized what the staff said, he shook his head: “It’s not cold.”

is tired.

He looked for some words to attract the attention of Han Wang, so that she would not think about fatigue.

“Your Highness knows, why did the minister decide that there is a family nearby?”

Han Wang listened to the movement, panicked in his heart, and responded casually: “I don’t know.”

“His Royal Highness looks at this mountain road, it must have been years and years, the villagers have stepped on it, and the road is steep but wide and flat. , it can be seen that there are more people walking here.”

The King of Han understood, he was near the village, and the villagers came and went. She sincerely praised: “Qing is very knowledgeable.”

The staff smiled and stroked his beard: “This minister is a poor family, and his hometown is in the mountains. I have seen many since I was a child, and I can’t bear the praise of His Highness.”

The King of Han was surprised: “Qing came from a poor family?”

The selection of officials in the Great Wei Dynasty is mainly based on recommendation, supplemented by recruitment. Most of the ministers in the DPRK came from aristocratic families. For a moment, the King of Han forgot about the terrible situation, and carefully recalled when Li Sheren had entered the palace of the King of Han.

The staff were surprised when they saw the King of Han, and seemed a little proud. He smiled and said, “His Royal Highness really can’t do anything. When the ministers entered the palace, what kind of background the generals and ministers came from, how and when they entered the official office are clearly written.”

The King of Han really didn’t remember it, so he said apologetically, “The solitary mansion is used to no major events, and there are very few times when it bothers you to give up people. After a long time, I can’t remember it.”

Candlelights can be faintly seen outside the woods ahead, and there are homes not far away.

Li Sheren talked about how and when he became an official, as an anecdote, to talk about His Highness’s troubles on the road.

“At the beginning of His Majesty’s ascension to the throne, the imperial edict was plastered all over Kyushu. The minister prided himself on being talented, but he hated his humble background and had nowhere to live, so he was depressed for most of his life. With this good opportunity, my minister Unwilling to miss out, I sold a few acres of thin fields and a thatched hut in exchange for the entanglement in Beijing.”

Han Wang was fascinated.

“Fortunately, although the minister has great ambitions and talents, His Majesty has the virtue of respecting the virtuous. Seeing that the minister writes a few sentences, it is quite smooth. There were more than a hundred people. Later, His Majesty used some of them. The local government offices asked for dozens of people. The remaining ministers and a dozen people who had no power or wealth. Hearing that the Han palace was short of names, the ministers recommended themselves to the palace, and so on. I am fortunate enough to serve Your Highness.”

The King of Han listened, was silent for a moment, and said, “I am wronged.”

Li Sheren was startled, and when he saw the sympathy of the King of Han, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: “Serving Your Highness, how can you say that you are wronged.”

He said so, but the King of Han knew that when His Majesty came to the throne, her situation was not very good.

Most of the courtiers served before His Majesty came to the throne. Since there were no female emperors in ancient times, His Majesty was considered the first in the world, and the courtiers of that young man may change. The prince is a big worry for his confidant, and he always wants to find her fault, so it is easy to deal with, and no one threatens the throne of His Majesty.

There are still a few who think that His Majesty’s ascension to the throne is a female protagonist stealing power and chaotic governance, which is not in harmony with Yin and Yang. But they would not join her either. King Teng had the reputation of a worthy corporal, and all the scholars who wanted to ‘set things right” went to his place.

The King of Han said earnestly: “Whether it is a grievance, I understand it. I feel at ease in the lonely mansion, I am willing to stay if I am willing to stay. If you have other plans, you might as well talk to Gu and be alone. You pay attention.”

To be an official of a county, and also make it.

Li Sheren was stunned when he heard the words, then looked solemn, and solemnly gave a big salute: “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Han Wang hurriedly helped him up and said shyly: “No need to be more polite.”

The attendant on the side said: “His Royal Highness, they are here.”

Indeed, looking up, there are a few scattered candles, about a small village.

Han Wang was surprised that it was coming soon. She didn’t pay attention to it later, except that she felt a little scared at first. It’s all due to Li Sheren’s gossip with her all the way. Li Sheren is really a good person. His beard is half white. He is only a little younger than Lu Shangshu, but he is not fierce at all, and he is very kind.

Han Wang glanced at Li Sheren gratefully.

A few steps forward, Han Wang realized that the village is not small, and only a few households are lit. In just a few steps, another light went out.

Li Sheren picked up a larger room, and first said to the King of Han: “Your Highness, wait for the minister to call the door.”

When King Han nodded, he stepped forward and locked the door.

An old voice came from the door: “Who is it?”

Li Sheren replied: “Old man, I am a study tourer who passed through the treasure land. I missed the dormitory, and I asked the old man to let me stay overnight.”

The candle in the house flickered, and after a while, the door opened, but it was a strong man.

The man held a small candlestick and sent it forward slightly, trying to see the person in front of him.

Li Sheren stepped aside slightly, revealing the King of Han behind him, and said to the man, “This is my Hachiro, I hope the master can make it easier.”

Li Sheren observed his words and expressions, and hurriedly said: “These are family members. If the house can’t live in so many, then send them elsewhere.”

The man hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly turned sideways and let King Han enter.

Li Sheren made a gesture to the attendant, and everyone dispersed, he turned around and entered with the King of Han.

From the outside, the house here is quite tidy, as soon as you enter the door, you can see that there are only mud walls that simply separate several rooms.

The King of Han looked around and was rather cautious, Li Sheren said to the man: “Thank you for this brother, if it hadn’t been taken in by my brother, I really don’t know where to live tonight. .”

Li Sheren heard this, hurriedly strode forward, took a piece of silver from his sleeve pocket, handed it to the man, and said with a smile, “Brother Nao, my Hachiro is the youngest son in the family, since Little spoiled, please take care of my brother.”

The man’s expression stopped, his eyes fell on the ingot of silver and he could not move away, he did not hear what Li Sheren said, looked at the ingot of silver for a long time, then struggled to look Moving away, he said firmly: “It’s just two beds, it’s not worth a lot of money.”

After saying that, he didn’t accept the money, put the candlestick aside on the table, turned around and went straight in.

The King of Han was thoughtful when he saw this, and said in a low voice: “He seems to be very reluctant to bear this ingot of silver.”

Li Sheren walked to the side of King Han and nodded: “His Royal Highness said that it is only for viewing the house, and it should be regarded as a wealthy family in the village. Encountered a difficult matter, spent a lot of money, justifiably tight.”

Han Wang immediately thought of what Ji Wen had done.

At this time, an old man came out of the inner room.

The King of Han took a step forward subconsciously and stopped him: “Aweng walk slowly.”

Li Sheren was taken aback, the old man was trembling, and he didn’t know if he was sick, but don’t tell His Highness to be sick. He hurried forward and helped the old man.

The old man sat down on a dilapidated straw mat, took a breath, and then turned his eyes to King Han.

His eyes were cloudy and old, and his face was wrinkled, but he was unexpectedly kind, and said, “Where does this little man come from?”

The King of Han replied: “I came from the capital, and I have come here for my study tour.”

He sighed: “The family is poor, I am afraid that Xiao Langjun will be wronged.”

”

Li Sheren understood and took out an ingot of silver from his pocket.

Han Wang paid attention to his expression. There was a little noise inside, as if the house was moving. The old man raised his head and looked at King Han, then at Li Sheren, and slowly stretched out his hand to the silver.

He moves slowly, and it seems to be even slower with this one after another.

Money, but the family has been out of food for two days, so it’s okay to be old, a handful of old bones, and I won’t be able to live for a few days, but I have a grandson who is not yet three years old.”
