Wandering the Heavens

When Yi Xiaochuan was arguing with Princess Yu Shu, they were discovered by Meng Tian and taken all the way back to Xianyang. This time, without Gao Yao's care, it is unknown how his affair with Yu Shu would end after being discovered.

On the Mangdang Mountain side, Yu Xian considered withdrawing all these people to Wu'an in Handan County to start mining and training soldiers.

Liu Ji escaped from the corvée he was being escorted to perform labor service and became a bandit in Mangdang Mountain. I cannot take advantage of his opportunity.

"Uncle, why are you leaving here suddenly?" Lu Ze was a little reluctant.

"This place is surrounded by wars and supplies are scarce. It is not a good place. Let's retreat to Wu'an in Handan County first." Yu Xian threw the things he could not take away into the fire one by one and burned them.

Lu Ze was heartbroken.

The original plan was to arrange for Lu Ze and Lu Zhi to go to Wu'an in Handan County with their confidants, and to go to Xianyang with Lu Su to establish an intelligence station. However, news came from Pei County that Liu Ji, that bastard, went to Lu's mansion to propose marriage with great fanfare, and also fabricated a story that he and Lu Zhi were in love, which caused a sensation in the city, and the old man Lu was so angry that he fell ill.

No matter what, Lu Zhi was still just a young girl who had just reached adulthood. She was so angry that she burst into tears when she received the news.

Yu Xian had no choice but to take Lu Su with him and go to Pei County to teach this guy a lesson first.

In Pei County, Liu Ji regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Lu family and wandered around the streets every day to make his presence felt.

"Liu San, congratulations!"

"Third brother, don't forget your brothers when you become rich!"

……

Everyone in Pei County who knew Liu Ji greeted him with a smile, and the wrinkles on Liu Ji's face were all revealed by the smile. He had never received such flattery before. It seemed that Yi Xiaochuan was right. This young lady from the Lu family was Liu Ji's destined benefactor!

Once I marry her, I will be so successful!

When he was feeling proud of himself, he was kicked hard in the buttocks, and he fell forward, with his greasy face hitting a pile of fresh horse manure.

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment before he was awakened by the stench of horse manure: "Who dares to sneak attack your Grandpa Liu Ji!"

When he got up, he found that Yu Xian, who had disrespected him countless times that day, and his sister-in-law (so Liu Ji thought), were standing there surrounded by several people, but both of their faces looked very ugly.

"Catch him!" Yu Xian said coldly.

When several people heard Yu Xian's words, they rushed forward, tied up Liu Ji, gagged him, hung a wooden sign with the words "Shame of Pei County" on him, and put a tall hat on him with the words "A toad wants to eat swan flesh" on it.

A group of people then took Liu Ji and paraded him through the streets beating drums and gongs.

"Everyone, listen up! This Liu Ji spread rumors and damaged the reputation of Miss Lu. Today, I will teach him a lesson!"

Every hundred steps they would beat the gongs and drums and shout a sentence.

No matter how thick-skinned Liu Ji was, he had never experienced such a thing before. He wanted to lower his head but couldn't. He could only tremble in fear in front of everyone.

"Mr. Yu, why has it come to this?" After receiving the news, Xiao He and Lu Guan came to plead for Liu Ji.

"Mr. Xiao, why is it so? I took my disciples out to study, and this scoundrel took advantage of Brother Lu being an old man living alone and even had the delusion of coming to propose marriage. He also spread rumors about my disciples everywhere! He made Brother Lu so angry that he was bedridden and damaged the reputation of my disciples. How can such evil deeds be punished according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty?" Yu Xian would not let Liu Ji off so easily: "What's more, Liu Ji and the widow Cao even have a child, but he has no sense of responsibility. Now he still wants to marry my disciples. How dare he!"

"Mr. Xiao, if you can't say it, then don't interfere with me helping my sister vent her anger!" Lu Sudu showed her the dagger that Yu Xian had given her.

Xiao He and Lu Guan looked at each other and could only sigh and walk aside, because if Yu Xian insisted on handing Liu Ji over to them, then given what he had done, his end would not be good, and his tongue and nose would have to be cut off.

The only thing he can do is let Yu Xian vent his anger!

As for whether Liu Ji will be embarrassed, don’t make a fuss, he has no face to lose!

He’s had an affair with Widow Cao and even has a child, but he’s still thinking about marrying Miss Lu. Why isn’t he going to heaven?

After this commotion, Liu Ji's experience quickly spread throughout Pei County, and the people in the yamen seemed to be fine, and they all ran out to watch Liu Ji's parade.

If someone is interested here, they will find a serious problem, that is, regarding the behavior of Yu Xian and Lu Su, in the Pei County government, except for Xiao He who was found by Lu Guan and pleaded for mercy in his personal name, no official or clerk stepped forward to stop this matter from beginning to end.

At dusk, Liu Ji finally ended his torturous day and was thrown back to his home.

He would be very angry now. As a local boss in Pei County, he was very well-connected, otherwise he would not have gotten the position of a pavilion chief with such a disrespectful identity.

And for this Yu Xian, everything went wrong since he met me.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, but Liu Ji found that Yu Xian was a man who would not be persuaded by anything and was good at killing people.

Once there is a chance, there will be a second. In the future, everyone will follow Yu Xian's example and learn how to deal with tough guys like him. Liu Bang endured the pain all over his body and got up. After finding a piece of stone in the yard, he went back to a corner of the room and dug the soil. Finally, he took out a box from the pit, wrapped the box with a bed sheet, picked up a bronze sword, and left the house. At the last moment when the city gate was closed, he left Pei County.

On the city wall, Yu Xian and Lu Su looked coldly at Liu Ji's back, and Yu Xian drew his bow and arrow.

But in the end, Liu Ji's figure disappeared completely, and Yu Xian still did not shoot the arrow.

"Uncle, what are you worried about?" Lu Su was very confused.

"If he is gone, who will fight Xiang Yu to the death?" Yu Xian had no choice.

Xiang Yu's biggest mistake was to enfeoff Liu Bang in Hanzhong. Liu Bang then had a base from which he could attack or defend. He used Hanzhong as his base, like a dog-skin plaster, to torture Xiang Yu, who just wanted to live a stable life, and made him miserable.

Xiang Yu was a representative of the declining aristocracy of the pre-Qin period. It was impossible for Yu Xian to let the Lu family directly confront them. Someone had to step forward, and that person could only be Liu Bang.

After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, the Lu family defeated Liu Bang in the name of revenge for Xiang Yu, and the world fell into the hands of the Lu family.

Among the founding team of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang was an old aristocrat, so let's cross him out first. Xiao He and Cao Shen had already returned to the Lu family. As for Han Xin, I didn't like this person, so naturally I wouldn't go to Huaiyin to try any tricks to intercept him. If Liu Bang didn't have Han Xin, how could he have defeated Xiang Yu.

"So, after all our efforts, we still have to give benefits to the old nobility in the end?" Lu Su was very unhappy.

"You ignore the current productivity. It is simply impossible for a feudal empire to maintain too large a territory. The First Emperor mobilized civilians to build so many roads not for the sake of showing off, but to strengthen the central court's control over the local areas! So girl, you have to remember one thing: the progress of history is advancing in waves and rising in spirals." Yu Xian corrected Lu Su's idea.

"Then do we still have to enfeoff kings of different surnames?" Before coming, Yu Xian first gave Lu Su a brief introduction to the history of the Qin and Han dynasties.

"Of course he will be given a title, but it has to be posthumous! There can't be a living king of a different surname. This is not a problem at all."

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Yu Xian would still choose the parallel system of counties and kingdoms, so that some backward areas could realize transfer payments through the enfeoffment of states to maintain local people's livelihood.

"Then what is the problem?" Lu Su couldn't remember it at this moment.

"The issue of succession. When the time comes, will the throne be passed on to your eldest brother's child, or to your sister's own child?" Yu Xian was quite troubled.

Lu Ze is actually a sister-con. Why don't you show off your feudal masculinity and stand up! Now Yu Xian doesn't know how to solve the problem of the empire's heir.
