While Wang Mang was taking Wang Kuang and Wang Shun to study how to improve papermaking, Wang Mang's beloved emperor cousin set out with Wang Mang's other cousin Chun Yuchang.

As the contemporary leader of the old Liu family, Liu Ao perfectly inherited the playful talent of his ancestors. Since becoming the emperor, Liu Ao has enjoyed it even more, often going around Chang'an City under the guise of various reasons and relatives.

Play.

After arriving in these places, Liu Ao also completely let himself go, completely getting rid of the shackles of the emperor's status. One moment, he had a cockfight with the local rich boys, and the next moment, he raced with them!

Although the speed of drag racing in the Han Dynasty was not as fast as the motorcycles of later generations, the level of excitement was not far behind.

An open carriage pulled by two horses gallops through the bushes under the control of the charioteer. In such a tense and exciting racing, if you accidentally press on a big rock, you may be overturned.

, car crash and death!

But it is precisely such exciting gameplay that attracts these rich kids who usually have nothing to do. Otherwise, they would not play such an exciting and life-threatening sport.

Chun Yuchang followed Liu Ao closely. Seeing the emperor's unscrupulous and high-spirited racing behavior, Chun Yuchang felt nervous and excited.

Liu Ao took the lead and was extremely skilled in driving. It can be seen that this is not Liu Ao's first time racing out of the palace, he is a complete veteran of habitual offenders!

"Your Majesty, please slow down!"

Chunyu Chang called Liu Ao nervously from behind, and had to speed up to follow Liu Ao.

After Liu Ao heard Chunyu Chang's voice, he laughed and shouted: "Nai Gong is so proud! You should follow him quickly!"

When Liu Ao went outside, he didn’t even use the self-identification of "Zhen", and directly used the self-identification of "Nai Gong" as a rogue ranger!

Naigong is not a humble self-proclaimed name. It means "your father and me" when translated.

After Liu Bang conquered the world, when faced with the criticism from the Confucian scholars, he spit out the food in his mouth while he was eating, and angrily cursed: "If you set up Confucianism, it is a matter of business!"

It can be seen from this that the old Liu family's hooliganism to take advantage of others is an ancestral skill!

When Chunyu Chang heard Liu Ao being addressed like this, he was not annoyed, but even more happy.

To be able to have His Majesty the Emperor relax so majesticly beside me shows how favored I am in the Emperor's mind.

Chun Yuchang actively responded to Liu Ao's call, also accelerated the carriage he was driving, and chased after Liu Ao.

When Liu Ao saw Chunyu Chang accelerate, he was even more excited. What he wanted was this intense and exciting competitive feeling.

Liu Ao screamed, waving the whip in his hand and whipping the horses on the carriage.

The horse was in pain, neighed, and its speed suddenly increased!

Then, before Liu Ao had time to enjoy the speed boost, his carriage suddenly hit a rock.

The carriage suddenly turned sideways, and Liu Ao exclaimed, and immediately turned the carriage sideways with superb royal skills. When Chun Yuchang and others behind him saw this scene, they were frightened out of their wits.

If His Majesty the Emperor gets into trouble because of racing, he, as a guard, will be done with it, and may even lose his fortune and life!

After taking control of the carriage again, Liu Ao was not only not afraid, but even more excited. Obviously he liked such an exciting gameplay.

This feeling of lightning made Liu Ao feel extremely comfortable both physically and mentally. It was much more comfortable here than in Weiyang Palace.

After the horses were tired from running, Liu Ao, Chun Yuchang and others also slowly slowed down the carriage.

This is the end of a near-miss racing.

Chunyu Chang jumped off his horse and ran nervously to Liu Ao, "Is your Majesty okay?"

Liu Ao looked at Chunyu Chang's nervous expression and laughed, "With Naigong's imperial skills, what can happen? You are still too timid."

Liu Ao laughed at Chun Yuchang's courage, but Chun Yuchang was not angry. He immediately patted the horse and replied: "Your Majesty is the real dragon emperor, and he has the protection of heaven and earth. I am so cautious that I made your Majesty laugh."

Liu Ao nodded proudly, and then said: "This is outside the palace. Don't call Naigong your majesty anymore. You can call Naigong eldest brother or young master."

Chun Yuchang laughed after hearing this. Although he also wanted to call Liu Ao brother, the identity of the two was like a chasm. If he really called the emperor brother, he would be happy for a while, but if the emperor fell out one day, this would be

Evidence of guilt!

Therefore, it is better to call the young master safe.

Chunyu Chang said: "No, young master!"

Liu Ao felt very comfortable when he heard Chunyu Chang's obedient response.

Liu Ao said: "Have a rest for a while, and I will take you to Princess Yang's house later."

This time Liu Ao’s destination was Princess Yang’s Mansion.

Some time ago, Princess Yang A wrote a letter home to Liu Ao, inviting him to visit her house.

Liu Ao happened to not be a free-spirited master. He had admired Emperor Xiaowu since he was a child and liked to go out for fun. As for the affairs of the government, Liu Ao hardly paid attention to them. They were all handled by the Queen Mother and Da Sima.

That’s it.

And he just needs to be a hands-off shopkeeper who can have fun and play around.

After all, the Han Dynasty at this moment does not have any external or internal troubles. Starting from his grandfather, Emperor Xiaoxuan, the Han Dynasty entered its heyday.

At this stage, the Han Dynasty did not have any enemies. The Xiongnu in the north had always respected the Han Dynasty as their father, and the same was true in the Western Regions in the west.

Being an emperor in such a prosperous age is simply not a good thing. There are only three ministers and ministers to deal with all the secular affairs in the court. The emperor can completely let himself go and enjoy himself.

Of course, it would be a good thing if the big man can maintain this state forever.

It's a pity that some problems more serious than foreign aggression like to brew in this peaceful and prosperous age!

Since Emperor Xiaowu issued the Luntai Edict and ceased military operations, the Han Dynasty has embarked on a path of peaceful development under the leadership of the powerful minister Huo Guang.

Although this recuperation helped the Han Dynasty alleviate the social conflicts accumulated through years of war since Emperor Xiaowu, it also encouraged the rebirth of extravagance to a certain extent.

After the arrival of Emperor Xiaoxuan, although the Han Dynasty reached its peak under the leadership of Emperor Xiaoxuan, the trend of extravagance in the Han Dynasty became stronger and stronger!

Under this trend of extravagance, everyone in the Han Dynasty, from the nobles to the common people, was affected by this trend.

Especially in weddings and funerals, extravagance is even more prevalent!

The princes and princes had the custom of lavish burials, and the common people also had the custom of lavish burials. Under the influence of this custom, many middle-class families would become poor due to mourning.

Of course, this is not the most serious.

The most serious thing is that since Zhaoxuan, the world has been at peace for decades. After the princes and nobles have mastered the vast majority of social resources, their greed has become more and more intense, and their hedonism has become stronger.

Therefore, they also planted a root cause of national subjugation that has never been cured by successive dynasties - land annexation!

The trend of annexation has become more and more intense since Zhaoxuan. Under this seemingly peaceful and prosperous age of the Han Dynasty, in fact, there has been a turbulent undercurrent. Maybe one day it will break out due to some unremarkable problems, causing the Han Dynasty to take a sharp turn and become a period of decline.

Historical regret!
