At night, Duan Yuying sat on a high-legged seat called "chair", and fiddled with the small clothes on the high-legged equipment called "table" in front of her under the light.

This is the clothes she prepared for her upcoming child and should be placed in a classified manner.

On the couch next to it, Li Li was playing with a little boy.

This is Duan Yuying's son whom he gave birth to Li Li, who looks like a mother. Li Li thinks that his son should be a handsome guy in the future.

Duan Yuying was pregnant with her belly, I don’t know if it was the handsome guy’s younger brother or sister.

Li Li picked up his son and stuffed a rattle into his son's hand.

As I coaxed me, my eyes suddenly burst into tears.

He was desperate and attached Qi State to the north of Xuzhou. So Emperor Gao Yang hummed a small song, set up a big cauldron in front of the Taimiao, and personally chopped firewood and boiled water...

He and all his sons stood beside him, lined up and waited to get down the cauldron.

The handsome little guy is not in the team because he has been chopped and fed the dog.

Li Li withdrew his delusion and focused on his son.

After a while, Duan Yuying finished tidying up her clothes and asked the maid to put the basket of clothes in it. Seeing that her son was actually amused by Li Li, she danced and was a little surprised:

"He is so obedient? It's hard to coax him on weekdays."

Li Li smiled and said, "I think you have to really treat him as a child, not as an adult."

"But he can't express his intentions, you can't understand it, he is anxious and makes trouble."

"The little guy is just hungry, uncomfortable, sleepy, wants convenience, or wants someone to play with him. By using the elimination method, you can roughly guess what he wants to do."

Duan Yuying watched Li Li play with her son, and she felt very happy.

After a while, the little guy was tired and kept yawning. Li Li held his son in his arms and coaxed him, singing softly.

Duan Yuying listened carefully and found that Li Li was singing a "vernacular song".

"Every time, I am strong in lingering in loneliness..."

"...Every time, even if you are very injured, you won't burst into tears..."

"...I know, I have always had pairs of invisible wings, taking me flying, flying through despair..."

"...I finally soared, staring at me carefully without being afraid. If there is wind, just fly as far as you want..."

This song is called "Invisible Wings". Duan Yuying heard Li Li sing it. It is said that the lyrics are the voice of a blind girl.

She thought that although the title and lyrics of this song were very "white" and the melody was "abnormal", it was quite nice. After compiling it into a piano piece, Li Li would sometimes play and sing it by himself.

Not only that, Duan Yuying has heard Li Li sing many songs, the title and lyrics are very "white" and the melody is also "abnormal", but it is really nice.

Li Li hummed and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son in his arms gradually falling asleep.

Of course he is happy if he has many sons, but once he starts to fulfill his father's duties, he will be overwhelmed.

Playing with children is very energy-consuming, and playing with different naughty kids every day is even more torture.

It is said that there are not so many children, but Li Li is not willing to give in. You should know that Xuzhou Chief Wang Chong had more than 20 sons.

I had a few days ago and I was really strong.

Of course, this is the result of a large number of concubines. Li Li only had four concubines. In this era, according to the "configuration standards" of wealthy families, the number of people was pitifully small.

The wet nurse took the sleeping little guy and took it to the dormitory. Li Li sat next to Duan Yuying and started chatting.

Duan Yuying has been wearing rich clothes and food since she was a child. Li Li picked up the sachet and looked at it. As he talked, the topic fell on the incense medicine placed in the sachet.

Incense medicine can be used to incense for clothes, utensils, and rooms, and can be worn in sachets. It plays the role of perfumes in later generations. Since ancient times, it has been very popular among wealthy families.

There are fewer types of fragrant medicines produced in the Central Plains, and the smell is not as strong as that of overseas fragrant medicines. Therefore, fragrant medicines from the Western Regions have always been a best-seller in the Central Plains.

Every year, a large number of Hu merchants travel thousands of miles to sell incense medicines from the Western Regions to the Central Plains and to Chang'an, Luoyang, Jinyang, Yecheng and other metropolises.

Then a large amount of silk produced in the Central Plains was transported to the Western Regions. This land trade route was called the "Silk Road" in later generations.

Of course Duan Yuying didn't know this term. She was just curious: Liang State does not seem to border with the Western Regions, so where did the incense medicine used by the wealthy and noble people of Liang State come from?

"Two roads, land and sea routes." Li Li replied, and explained: "When Shu was still there, it bordered a small country called Tuyuhun. The Hu merchants in the Western Regions entered Shu through Tuyuhun and transported the rare treasures from the Western Regions, including incense and medicine."

"So, most of the Hu merchants settled in Yizhou, and most of them are rich. However, the incense and medicine in the Jiangnan region mainly comes from overseas and is imported from overseas Hu merchants."

"The sea route is the water route, and the cargo transporter is the boat. The boat must rely on the wind, wherever the wind blows, wherever the boat goes."

"So, sea boats can't walk along the coastal routes at will, they have to wait for hyacinth."

"Just like the southeastern wind blowing in summer and the northern wind blowing in winter, the wind direction is divided into seasons and is a monsoon." Li Li said, drawing sketches on paper to facilitate Duan Yuying's understanding.

The sketch is an overview of the southeast coast. Li Li briefly explained it and continued: "I am in Jiankang, and I have inquired from many sources. I have heard people mention the overseas incense medicine. Now I will tell you about it."

"The overseas incense medicine is mainly produced in the South China Sea and the countries in India west of the South China Sea."

"Every autumn, there are good harvests of incense medicine in various countries in India, and the west wind blows there in autumn. So after the maritime merchants purchase incense medicine, they set sail and come east."

"Arriving in Nanyang, the South China Sea is also the season for harvesting incense medicine, so I bought incense medicine again, and then walked slowly north along the coast with the help of the occasional south wind."

"But more sea boats stay at Panbang Harbour at the southern end of the South Ocean. At the beginning of the coming year, the wind blows in the southeast, and these large sea boats will come by the wind and arrive in the north at Longbian, Jiaozhou, or Panyu, Guangzhou."

"Maritime merchants brought a large number of overseas rare treasures to the Central Plains in exchange for silk and other specialties from the Central Plains. This transaction has been around since the Qin and Han Dynasties and has been developed for hundreds of years."

"So, Jiaozhou Longbian Port and Guangzhou Panyu Port are famous maritime trading ports. There are a large number of overseas Hu people, Fanbian merchants temporarily live in, and a large number of sea boats gather."

"Of course, some chalks of sea commerce continue to sail north, reach the estuary of the Yangtze River, turn into the middle of the river, and arrive at Jingkou, southeast of Jiankang."

"So, every spring, when new overseas incense medicines arrive in Jiangnan, and these maritime merchants will stay in Longbian, Panyu and even Jiankang, one is to wait for goods, and the other is to wait for hyacinth."

"In autumn and winter, when the north wind blows, the sea ship full of cargo in the Central Plains sets sail and goes south."

"When arriving west of the South Ocean, the east wind was blowing in this area at this time, so the sea boat sailed westward, and after arriving in the incense and other places such as Tianzhu, the goods in the Central Plains will be sold, or even further west."

"In autumn, the maritime merchants repeated it and set sail again to the Central Plains when the spring of the next year and the southeast wind blows."

Duan Yuying got Li Li to explain that he had a preliminary understanding of the "maritime route" and understood how Liang's overseas incense medicine was probably transported by overseas Hu Shang.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Now the New Year has passed, and the overseas incense medicine is about to start entering Jiankang?"

"That's right." Li Li nodded and returned the sachet to Duan Yuying: "If the time is right in the future, I will take you to Jiankang to see the sea boat."

......

In the morning, the sun is shining and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. On a street in Jiankang City, rows are moving towards Taicheng.

This is the team of Xiao Dalin, the king of South China Sea. Because he received the order of the empress dowager, Xiao Dalin was going to the palace to discuss matters.

What was discussed was of course the matter of Poyang King Xiao Fan involved in the murder of the royal family.

Xiao Dalin sat in the ox cart, thinking about what happened recently, and was overjoyed.

Uncle Xiangdong King had a good idea. He offered a reward. As long as someone could provide important evidence of the King of Poyang's misconduct, he could be granted a title of marquis.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Over the past few days, the number of people who responded to the list has increased one after another.

Among them, there are former officials of the King of Poyang, as well as some officials or soldiers. Some of the evidence they provided are being sorted out.

Because Xiao Dalin wanted to avoid suspicion, he did not participate in the case trial. However, according to the news he heard, the Yousi had collected a lot of substantial evidence.

It seems that these evidences can prove that the Poyang King brothers are indeed problematic.

It can be proved that these people planned the Lantern Festival Incident two years ago, and designed to frame the Nanjun Prince Xiao Dalian, and framed Xiao Dalian for poisoning.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dalin's breathing became rapid and his fists were clenched.

Xiao Si, the prince of Poyang, is now in Lingbiao. Even if he gets news, he returns north overnight, it is too late.

Xiao Dalin wanted to see how his cousin would argue in the face of a large number of people's evidence.

The murderer, you killed them!

Xiao Dalin misunderstood Xiao Dalian before, so when Xiao Dalian was sentenced to death, he thought it was a crime.

But now it seems that Xiao Dalian failed to defeat the tiger and was harmed by the tiger.

How sad is it to be a person who dies and is still charged with crimes, ridiculed and ridiculed by others?

King Xiao Dacheng of Guiyang and King Xiao Daya of Liuyang learned that something happened in Taicheng during the Lantern Festival. She thought about the safety of the palace and brought people to help her, but she died on the streets.

His three younger brothers did nothing wrong, but were plotted by the traitor and lost their lives.

Although Xiao Dalin and his three younger brothers are not the same mother, they are always the same father and brother. Even if the rabbit dies, there is still a grief. When he thinks about the experience of his three younger brothers, he can't help but get angry.

You are so vicious, don’t blame me for killing the roots!

Xiao Dalin had already figured it out that the descendants of the Poyang King must pay the price for what they did. They were conspiring to murder the descendants of the late emperor and many innocent royal families and officials, and now they had to compensate with their lives.

People should be eliminated, and their reputations cannot be kept.

The title of King Poyang was abolished, and the title of other people was also abolished.

This is Xiao Dalin's proposal. He felt that the brothers would think so, but the idea that it would become a reality depends on how the Empress Dowager and the Prime Ministers decided.

The convoy entered Taicheng and came to the palace. Before Xiao Da got off the car, he saw that his uncle, King Xiangdong, had just arrived first, so he stepped forward to greet him.

King Xiao Yi of Xiangdong looked good today. Xiao Dalin thought that maybe his uncle hadn't quarreled with his uncle these days, so he was full of spring breeze.

After all, the matter between the King of Xiangdong and the Princess is no longer a secret, but those who are familiar with the matter pretend not to know.
To be continued...
