Unexpectedly, the emperor's father is used to the peasant life of picking mulberry fields, but he is really not used to the luxury in the palace at present. He misses the free and unrestrained days in his hometown all day. It wasn't long before he became ill because of overthinking. Liu Bang found out the reason why his old father was ill and decided to accompany him back to his hometown. I think Liu Bang is still an idle person in the market. This time, he returned to his hometown with the honor of being a dragon, worthy of the name. Its momentum is naturally huge and grand.
When Gaozu returned to China, everyone in Liyang Village put on new clothes and gathered at the entrance of the village to meet him early in the morning. Towards noon, I saw a team of thousands of people coming from a distance. On the luxurious dragon car, Emperor Gaozu sat in all directions, and the emperor's father sat in the back car. There is an old woman of about 60 years old in the crowd, Weng Shi. This is the first time she has seen such a big scene. When she was crowded in the crowd and found Liu Bang on the dragon car, she suddenly shouted, "Hey, isn't this Liu Sanzi sitting in the car?" "Don't talk nonsense, he is a high-impedance emperor!" Someone nearby quickly whispered to remind her. "Hey, change the name? No matter how he changes, I can recognize him. He is Liu Sanzi! That's right! " Weng's voice is louder and louder. The accompanying guards heard the noise and rushed to take Weng's family away. When the emperor saw it, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't catch it, that's our neighbor!" " "Dragon car had to stop because of this noise. Tai Huang got off the bus and stopped him from catching Weng's escort. He turned to Liu Bang and said, "This is your second sister-in-law. Do you remember her? "
Liu Bang has been away from his hometown for decades. How could he remember a peasant woman? He shook his head blankly, indicating that he could not remember. Weng was displeased to see him shake his head. Pointing at Liu Bang, he said loudly, "Are you a third son of Liu, even I don't remember?" You don't remember me, but I remember you You have been cheating since you were a child. That year, I gave birth to my family with nothing and was in confinement. An old hen sent by my family to mend my body was also stolen and killed by you. I was angry and distressed, and I couldn't stop breastfeeding for several days ... ""Ha ha ha ... "All the villagers who were watching laughed.
Liu bang in the car was embarrassed and was about to get angry. The emperor's father hurried to the paddock: "We are going home, and all the people who came to see you are from the village. You don't have to take care of them according to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. " Liu bang thought about it and said to Weng with a smile, "So it's Weng Ersao. How have you always been?" "That's more like it," Weng said. "Although you stole my chicken, did you ask your dad for so many years? Seeing that you have done a lot today, it is reasonable to say that it is time to return my chicken! "
Liu Bang was really in distress situation, thinking, what a bold and ignorant woman! How dare she ask the emperor for debts in public! He couldn't seem to reason with this confused woman, so he had to order his men to give Weng some money to shut her up. Unexpectedly, Weng insisted on this. She plausibly said, "You stole an old hen of Liu Sanzi, so you can give me an old hen back. If I charge you so much money, it seems that my surname Weng has mistaken your surname Liu. It's not good to let others make irresponsible remarks! "
Liu bang was very angry with this confused and serious woman, so he asked the accompanying local officials to find an old hen and return it to her. Weng got an old hen and smiled. He turned to Liu Bang and said, "Liu Sanzi, although you owe my family a chicken, you don't have to change your surname to Gaozu!" You think I won't recognize you if you change your name? Doesn't that recognize you? I am not confused! "Say that finish, holding the old hen happily went home. Seeing Liu Bang's angry face, the Emperor Tai-huang quickly said, "You are a strict second sister-in-law. You can't beat around the bush when you talk or do things. She is a very nice person. You have been away from home for so many years, and she takes care of our parents and brings us delicious food. " Liu bang listened, and this just released his scowl.
A few days after returning to China, Liu Bang and his party returned to Beijing in a mighty manner. He thought that he had given up his wish for his old father this time and didn't want to go home this time. Seeing so many folks who have been together for decades, the emperor's father is more and more reluctant, and he is chanting to go back to his hometown all day. As the king of a country, how did Liu Canbang always accompany his old father back to his hometown without caring about national affairs? Seeing that his old father was really homesick, Liu Bang had a brainwave and thought of a way to prevent him from getting sick again. He specially set aside a piece of land in Chang 'an and made a replica of "Liyang Village" according to the appearance of his hometown Liyang Village. Ditches, dams, house tiles, and even every grass and tree are reproduced here according to the original appearance of Liyang Village. Although only a small house was built, it cost as much gold and silver as building an ideal city.
After the completion of "Liyang Village" in Chang 'an City, all the villagers in Liyang Village of Pei County were brought here to settle down. In this way, the emperor's father can see familiar villages and villagers without leaving the city. As long as he hears the friendly local accent, he won't miss home. But when the emperor's father saw the Weng family who had asked the emperor for debts, he was taken aback. Not long ago, I saw her tenacious and agile, and now she is dragging her broken leg and struggling to move her body with a pair of crutches. The emperor's father asked her what was going on, and Weng told the story.
It turned out that Pei County ordered Zhou Life's officers to collect "head fees" from door to door, and each of them received 20 strings of copper coins, claiming to raise money for receiving Gaozu. Weng's family was poor and couldn't afford it for a while, so the officers robbed a sheep from her house to pay for the head.
That sheep can be said to be the most valuable thing in Weng's family. Weng cried for it several times. The last time she took the chicken back from Gaozu, she had confidence. I thought, if I can recover this debt from the emperor, which one is a magistrate? She decided to go to the county government to get the sheep back. Therefore, Weng came to Pei County for three transgressions and five times to clear his name. Zhou Sheng felt that hiding was not an option, so he told her that the money he started collecting was to pay for his great grandfather's return to his hometown. Of course, if he has no money, he will take her sheep. If he wants a sheep, he must pay the head fee he owes.
"What high-impedance, isn't that Liu Sanzi? He asked for it himself. Why should we help him collect money? " Weng is somewhat dissatisfied. Zhou is worried that he can't catch the handle of this difficult woman. When she said this, she couldn't help but be furious: "Well, how dare you call the emperor today? It' s really a big violation! " He also ordered the officers to fight Weng. The poor man's sheep didn't want to come back, and one leg was broken.
The emperor's father told Liu Bang about it. Liu bang was taken aback when he returned to China last time. All expenses are allocated directly from the state treasury. Pei County also collects headcount fees from house to house, claiming that it will be used for "the return of great grandfather". Isn't this a blatant exploitation of the people's fat and paste? I didn't expect such a corrupt official in my hometown to ruin Liu Bang's reputation in order to collect money. Liu Bang was furious and immediately ordered an investigation into Zhou Sheng and executed him on the spot.
Zhou Sheng was executed, Pei County needs a new county magistrate. Liu bang had a whim and ordered Weng Hu, the son of Weng, to take over. This Weng Hu grew up from a poor family and was lazy by nature. He is in his thirties, and he hasn't even married his wife. He only lives with his old mother, Weng. He never dreamed that he had transformed himself from a civilian into a county magistrate and became a "parent" of tens of thousands of people. Unfortunately, this Weng Hu has no real skills. After becoming an official, he only knows how to eat, drink and be merry every day, and does nothing serious. When someone gives him a gift, he always comes to him, and often orders his men to go down and extort money, which makes people complain. In less than a year, Weng Hu's throne was handed over to Liu Bang, but he remained "on hold". On one occasion, Weng Hu ordered the officers to rob the people. Some people disobeyed and were killed by officers in the battle. This book was played to Liu Bang, who removed the corrupt official Weng Hu from the imperial seal.
Weng heard the news that his son was going to be executed, and went to the emperor's father overnight to beg him to intercede with the emperor and let Weng Hu go. The emperor's father took care of the villagers' feelings and took her to see Liu Bang, pleading face to face. But when Liu Bang told Weng Hu the passbook of the following officials one by one, Weng was dumbfounded. It turns out that his son has done so many outrageous things since he became a county magistrate.
"I thought the county magistrate who had robbed my sheep was executed. Is it worse for my tiger? " Weng's some think impassability.
"Weng Hu is one hundred times worse than that. That's just collecting money. Weng Hu not only collects more money than he does, but also indulges his men in killing innocent people. Do you think he should kill? " Liu Bang asked Weng.
Weng couldn't answer for a moment, so he said to himself, "How can a good man become a villain when he is an official?" She pondered for a while, suddenly looked up and said loudly to Liu Bang, "I see, I said, how did you think of making my tiger an official?" It turns out that you thought of such a way to get back at me because you asked me for chicken! "
