I'm Doing Infrastructure Construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration]

Question: How does it feel to have Emperor Wu of Han as your father and Chen Ajiao as your mother?  

Liu Tan: Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the Han dynasty, just stepped out of a...

Chapter 291 [Second Update] 291

Liu Tan thought hard and felt that he seemed to have overlooked an important point, which was that Liu Che had just asked whether it would only be held in Shuofang City.

He said cautiously, "I'll write a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later and try to have a Lantern Festival in Chang'an on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Liu Che said with satisfaction again: "These are the ones you kids like. Go discuss it with Juer."

Liu Tan: So many complaints but no words to say!

If I really didn't care, why were you staring at me just now!

But it doesn’t matter. We can still have a collaboration with Chang’an on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Although the distance is far, as long as the sign is put up - in the entire Han Dynasty, only Chang'an and Shuofang City have the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the value of the city will go up immediately.

After all, Chang'an is the weather vane of the entire Han Dynasty and the city with the highest status. Being able to stand on equal footing with Chang'an, no, there is no need to be on equal footing with it, just being able to keep up with the trend is enough to make you famous.

Although it seems that gaining fame is not very useful these days, after all, the tourism industry is underdeveloped and it is too difficult to make money from it, but it can attract people to settle down.

Liu Che walked back contentedly. He was a little tired after this trip. Since he entered Shuofang City, he had been seeing new things constantly, and his spirit had been in a relatively excited state. Naturally, he needed a good rest at night.

When Liu Tan saw that Liu Che narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that he was tired, so he immediately asked someone to send Liu Che back to rest. He handed the matter to Huo Guang and ran over to watch it personally, fearing that Liu Che was feeling unwell or something so that he could make timely adjustments.

Liu Che first went to the bathhouse to take a bath. When he found his son running to the bathhouse, he couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, you've been busy all day, go back and rest."

Liu Tan stayed by his side throughout the day, taking care of basically everything including food, clothing, housing and transportation, which made Liu Che feel very happy.

There are many people like this around him, but there are very few children who are so considerate.

Do you really think that he dotes on Princess Dangli because she is his first child?

Of course, this is indeed very meaningful, but it is also related to the fact that Princess Dangli herself is meticulous and considerate.

Liu Tan really cared about his body and health, and Liu Che certainly felt sorry for his son.

Liu Tan thought about it and felt that it would be inappropriate for him to watch Liu Che taking a bath here, so he simply said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Liu Che waved at him. Before leaving, Liu Tan whispered to Bu Fan, "If there's anything, send someone to Changle Palace to look for Miao Rui or Bigao. The doctors have already memorized them. Give the order and someone will come."

Bu Fan narrowed his eyes as he smiled at him: "Your Highness, don't worry. This old servant will serve you well. It's getting late, Your Highness, go and get some rest."

Only then did Liu Tan respond and leave with his men.

Bu Fan returned only after he left, and heard Liu Che lazily ask, "Has Tan'er left?"

Bu Fan replied, "Yes."

Liu Che chuckled. "He's become a completely different person since arriving in the Northern Territory. He's become more and more talkative, not like a child at all."

Bu Fan was well aware of Liu Che's ability to say one thing and mean another, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness is very considerate."

Liu Che said nothing more, but simply said, "Send someone to investigate what happened when Wu Shilu invaded the south."

At the beginning, Liu Tan only wrote the cause and effect without mentioning any specific details, because basically all post-war reports were like that, and Liu Che didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that he had arrived in the Northern Border Kingdom and saw the rising Shuofang City and the elite regiment trained by Liu Tan, he felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

He also mentioned Wei Deng, but the battle in the mine was very vague. He always felt that something seemed to be concealed in it.

Of course, Liu Che did not doubt the authenticity of the great victory. No one dared to lie about it, not to mention that Wu Shilu's initiative to request trade had already proved this.

Liu Che was just wondering what had happened in the mine?

Liu Tan on the other side didn't know that Liu Che had already become suspicious. After coming out of Liu Che's bedroom, he did not return to his Changle Hall, but went to the main hall. It was okay for the emperor to leave early, but his departure was actually very unreasonable.

Liu Che left, and as the owner of this place, he should stay.

However, he had reason to worry about Liu Che's health. After all, it was a long journey from Qi to the Northern Border. The distance was not short even in later generations. It would be very uncomfortable if he did not take an airplane, let alone now.

After Liu Tan returned to the main hall, the atmosphere was already like that.

Huo Guang is definitely good at handling government affairs, and his interpersonal relationships are not bad either, but don't ask him to liven up the atmosphere. Even if you ask him to do something that will not make the atmosphere awkward, it won't be much better.

Fortunately, it was not too late, so Liu Tan Wenyan asked everyone to go to rest first.

Of course, the officials who followed Liu Che had no complaints. Following the emperor on tour sounded favored and prestigious, but in fact it also meant that the court was the same with or without you.

The really important people stayed in Chang'an to follow the prince as regent. How could they have the time to follow the emperor on his eastern tour?

Therefore, none of these people dared to be dissatisfied with Liu Tan. Moreover, they had broadened their horizons tonight and would have something to brag about when they returned to Chang'an.

After everyone left, Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang and said with a smile, "Are you tired tonight? Don't go back. I've reserved a room for you."

Other officials had to live in the inn outside the Changshou Palace, but Huo Guang was different. He had been with Emperor Wu of Han since he was a child, and staying overnight in the palace was commonplace for him. Living in the Changshou Palace was no big deal for him.

Huo Guang did not refuse. As he followed Liu Tan out, he asked, "Your Highness, you've released the lanterns today. What are you going to do over the next few days?"

If Liu Che was given such a big surprise on the first day and there were no surprises in the next few days, he would have felt bored.

Liu Tan said, "Don't worry. We'll have fun and exciting things ready for you. Father will only be in the Northern Territory for ten days at most, so he'll have to leave time to meet with Lu Xuan and discuss things. Don't be so nervous."

Huo Guang was filled with questions. He knew Liu Tan had made the lanterns, but when had he made the other items? Why hadn't he heard anything about it? Suddenly, Huo Guang wondered if he, as prime minister, wasn't doing his job well enough, not caring enough about his son.

He said a little uncomfortably, "Don't mess around."

Liu Tan looked innocent: "When did I do anything wrong?"

Huo Guang was tired: When will you stop messing around?

However, considering how much Liu Tan values ​​Liu Che and how indifferent he is in front of Liu Che, he should not be so outrageous.

However, Huo Guang felt that he was too relieved too early. Liu Tan was not only out of line, he was simply insane!
