Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

"Don't tell me these useless things. What do you want to ask the community god for today?"

The emperor didn't believe that his son would come to him specifically to ask for a doll.

Liu Xin's eyes were red as he said, "My son misses the Queen Mother, so I want to ask the community god to let me meet the Queen Mother, so that I won't forget what the Queen Mother looks like."

After saying this, he began to sob softly, his shoulders shrugging, looking very pitiful.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, I understand. I will invite two painters to the palace and have them paint a portrait of your mother."

Liu Xin kowtowed again and whispered, "Thank you, father, for your kindness. I would like to ask if you can allow me to move to my fiefdom?"

The emperor's face suddenly darkened: "Why? Do you feel that you have grown wings?"

Liu Xin relied on his young age and said boldly: "My son just wants to see the outside world, nothing else?"

"See the outside world?" The emperor sneered, "Do you think the outside world is peaceful and tranquil?"

Liu Xin said nothing more.

The emperor paced back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at the small figure crawling on the ground, closed his eyes and said: "Even if I let you go to your fiefdom, I have to wait until you get married."

Liu Xin's eyes lit up, and he felt hopeful again: "Then my son will get married now."

The emperor's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily: "You are only eight years old this year, how can you get married?"

Liu Xin's eyes twinkled, and he whispered, "You can get married at the age of eight."

"Nonsense!" The emperor glared at his son unhappily and scolded him, "Why don't you hurry back to the palace?"

Liu Xin had no choice but to kowtow and leave with the two eunuchs.

Several ministers looked at each other and made up their minds.

Rather than letting Prince Zhao stay in the palace without anyone to protect him, it is better to send him to a fiefdom, away from the control of Concubine Li.

It won’t be too late to find a way to call him back once he grows up safely.

Anyway, the emperor was in the prime of his life and could live for a few more decades without any problems. But the King of Zhao was in a miserable situation. Without the support of his maternal family, it would be sooner or later that something bad would happen if he stayed in the palace.

Well, let’s do it!

I will go and ask the Queen Mother to issue an imperial decree to choose a marriage for Prince Zhao first.

It doesn't matter when the marriage takes place. As long as a few old guys put in some effort, they will be able to send King Zhao to his fiefdom.

The emperor had no idea what his old ministers were thinking, so he went to worship the gods first, and was delighted to see that several offerings were gone.

He ordered the eunuchs to add new offerings, and he picked up the things left by the gods on the altar to check.

This is a large world map filled with colorful illustrations and marked with various place names, mountains, and rivers.

There are also regional maps of various dynasties, starting from the Qin and Han Dynasties until the unification of Asia and Europe three thousand years later.

The emperor was stunned and quickly summoned several trusted ministers to discuss the matter.

"Why is the territory of the Han Dynasty getting smaller and smaller? Those Semites and the Western Regions actually captured Luoyang?"

"Why is this happening?"

"And a hundred years later, the Han Dynasty was replaced by the Sui Dynasty? And then there were the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties."

The king and his ministers suddenly felt numb and felt a chill on their backs.

"No way? This book must be fake!" Some people refused to believe that the Han Dynasty would perish, because every change of dynasty was always accompanied by blood and rain.

The emperor closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then said, "Since the community god has given a warning, we must take precautions. I just don't know what exactly caused the Han Dynasty to fall?"

"How about we ask the community god for some hints?" The court officials were panicked and kept stealing glances at the emperor.

The emperor nodded: "Okay, you prepare the wording first and give it to me for review." "Yes." The ministers retreated to the Taichang Hall, and several people sat together to discuss how to start writing.

Shen Xun asked someone to bring hot tea and served it to the old ministers, and then he sat aside and listened.

He was also surprised when he heard that the Han Dynasty was about to perish.

After finally waiting for the court to end, Shen Xun immediately rode home.

Inside the official residence, my sister, mother, and wife were cooking fruit in the kitchen, and the sweet aroma filled the entire kitchen.

"A Zhao, come here, I have something to tell you." Shen Xun said.

Shen Zhao agreed and came out of the kitchen.

The brother and sister came to the study. After dismissing the servants, Shen Xun asked in a low voice: "A Zhao, is everything on your map true?"

"It should be true." In fact, Shen Zhao had never seen it, but Xiaoqing introduced the contents of the album, so he bought it and sent it to her.

Shen Xun frowned and asked, "So what year are we in on the map now?"

"It shouldn't be the new year yet, right?" Shen Zhao also asked Xiaoqing this question, but when he reported the emperor's name and reign title, Xiaoqing was unable to answer.

Shen Zhao thought for a moment and said, "If we calculate from the previous emperor, we should be around 18 BC."

Xiaoqing said that according to the history of the bronze mirror world, the current emperor should be Liu Ao, but as far as she knows, Liu Ao died early and never ascended the throne.

The current emperor is Liu Kang, who ascended the throne at the age of twelve and has been in power for fifteen years.

"Eighteen years BC?" Shen Xun took out a pen and paper and began to record.

Seeing his elder brother's anxiety, Shen Zhao consoled him, "How about I buy a complete volume of the Han Dynasty history?"

Shen Xun nodded repeatedly: "Okay! It would be best if the text is something I can understand."

"No problem. The culture and technology of that world are already quite mature. They have all the text books you need."

Shen Zhao took out a small bronze mirror, did a quick search, and bought a complete copy of the Han Dynasty history.

Shen Xun's hands were shaking as he held the book, and he hurriedly opened it to check.

When he turned to the period of Wang Mang's New Deal, his eyes widened: "Wang Mang? Nephew of Concubine Wang? He seems to be a captain of the Imperial Guards. How could a low-ranking general like him control the government? And finally change the dynasty and proclaim himself emperor?"

Shen Xun had seen that young man before. He would stand at the gate of the imperial city every morning and was courteous to everyone.

Shen Zhao leaned over and took a look: "The history in this book is not the same as ours, you don't have to care about it."

Since Wang Mang's aunt's son did not become emperor, her brothers naturally could not be granted the title of marquis.

If there were not five marquises in the family, the Wang family would not have been able to achieve anything, and Wang Mang would have been able to only be a captain at the gate of the imperial city.

Shen Xun shook his head: "We can't take it lightly." The Wang family is a scourge, it would be great if we could find a way to get rid of them.

Shen Zhao saw what his elder brother was thinking and quickly reminded him, "Big brother, this book cannot be shown to outsiders, otherwise it will cause a bloody storm and countless people will suffer."

Moreover, Xue Wang's maiden family also had the surname Wang, so it was possible that her family was involved with Wang Mang.

"I know."

Shen Xun continued to flip through the pages, and the more he read, the more shocked he became: "This boy is truly extraordinary. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become an official."

At this time, the servant came to report: "Girl, someone from the Xue family is here to take you back."

Without even raising his head, Shen Zhao said, "Go tell the Xue family that I'm busy now."

The servant said with embarrassment: "Girl, I have already said it, but the man must see you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xun closed the book and said unhappily, "Why does the Xue family still haunt us?" (End of this chapter)
