Royal Zoo.
This garden is surrounded by millions of pieces of wood as thick as an adult's thigh.
Only one arm can fit into the gap between each piece of wood.
The wooden fence is four meters high, and the entire garden covers an area of 3,000 square feet.
Multiple acres.
In order to build this garden, tens of millions of dollars were spent in the early stage alone.
The park houses beasts donated by surrounding countries.
Some large beasts such as lions, tigers, jackals, and leopards are kept in separate fixed areas.
Most of the area is stocked with some herbivorous animals, such as rabbits, deer, deer, and antelopes.
The purpose of building this garden was, on the one hand, to satisfy Emperor Liu Bian's playful spirit, and on the other hand, to give these beasts donated by various countries a place to stay.
Normally, the Royal Beast Garden is only open to the royal family, but in order to maintain this Yuanzi, it consumes a large amount of money every year.
Therefore, the court has regulations that three days per month are open to ordinary people for a fee.
There are still three days that are open to officials, ministers, military generals, etc. and their families for a fee.
People who want to enter the Royal Beast Park must buy sightseeing tickets, and the income is used to maintain the operation of the Royal Beast Park.
Although tigers existed within the territory of the Han Dynasty, they were not visible to ordinary people.
It was not easy for noble officials and others to see tigers, let alone lions and elephants within the territory of the Han Dynasty.
There are no wild beasts that can only be seen in the Royal Beast Park.
This makes the Royal Beast Park ever since it was built and opened to ordinary people.
The three days it is open to ordinary people every month have been crowded with people almost every day.
The ticket area of the Royal Beast Park has been overcrowded. .
Since the construction of this garden began, it once aroused heated discussions among the court and the market.
Many people believed that building such a garden was not only a waste of money and food, but also made people lose interest in playthings, especially the emperor.
Of course Emperor Liu Bian doesn't care.
He has no desire for power and doesn't want to take care of things.
He likes to have fun comfortably.
The more bizarre and weird the gadgets are, the more he likes them.
For such an emperor, Liu Cheng, the leader Of course Lord Sikong, who was in charge of the government, wanted to do everything in his power to let him play well, so he supported the construction of this beast-taming garden against all opinions, and placed all the beasts donated by various countries in the garden.
The beasts want to eat meat, and some of the herbivorous animals that are kept in the park are their food.
Every two or three days, the lions, tigers, leopards and other large carnivorous beasts that are kept in the beast area will be released.
You can hunt to your heart's content in the park, and this is the most exciting program in this animal park.
Emperor Liu Bian liked watching wild beasts hunting very much, so he had to come every time at this time.
Sometimes there are too many ferocious large animals in the park, and the officials of the Royal Beast Park will drive some ferocious beasts into an area in the northeast corner of the park, and let them fight one on one or one on two to kill each other.
This area is called a fighting area. animal farm.
There are circular stepped stands built around the Colosseum, with seats for ordinary people, seats for officials and nobles, and special seats for the royal family, which can accommodate up to 8,000 people at the same time.
Every time the Colosseum opens, Emperor Liu Bian must be there, and this time he was not absent either.
At this time, two male jackals were confronting each other on the field.
Both sides were scarred and bloody.
The audience in the stands roared and cheered for the beast they were optimistic about.
Liu Bian was sitting on the emperor's special seat, clenching his fists and shouting with red face and ears.
A eunuch next to him stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Liu Bian was quite impatient: "What's your name?
Let's talk about what you have to do after this game is over."
"Your Majesty, Lord Sikong has arrived."
"What" "Master Sikong is here," the eunuch had to shout in a louder voice.
Liu Bian heard clearly this time.
He turned around and saw Liu Cheng standing not far away looking at him.

He quickly waved to Liu Cheng with a smile on his face, then took a towel from the hand of a palace maid next to him and wiped his face. .
Liu Cheng stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Greetings to Your Majesty, it's a sin for me to disturb His Majesty's pleasure."
Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
I know that the emperor's uncle is busy with official duties.
If it is not a very important matter, otherwise he would not come to sit with me.
Sit down and talk."
Although Liu Bian was indifferent and had no actual power, Liu Cheng never overstepped his bounds and would do all the etiquette he should have.
He would never go to the palace with a sword and pay homage to others like Dong Zhuo.
This was why Liu Bian had never done anything to Liu Bian.
The reason for the dissatisfaction.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Cheng clasped his fists again and sat aside.
Liu Bian took a sip of tea and asked, "Uncle Emperor, just tell me what you need.
What do you need me to do?"
Liu Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in two days the envoy of the Yuezhi Kingdom, Prince Modi Nanga, will lead his envoy to return home.
I thought that your Majesty should take the time to see him, so the court decided to send an envoy to accompany Modi.
Prince Nanjia was sent as an envoy to the Great Yuezhi Kingdom.
On the one hand, he submitted his credentials to the King of the Great Yuezhi.
On the other hand, he represented the court and His Majesty to discuss specific cultural and commercial issues with the Great Yuezhi.
If necessary, we can sign an agreement.
The formal establishment of diplomatic relations with the Great Yuezhi State will be beneficial to us Han people.
From now on, our Han business travel can be smooth all the way in the Great Yuezhi country, and our porcelain, silk, tea and other goods can be directly Sold to the Great Yuezhi, and even further contacted the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire, promoting our Han civilization to the West and the world."
Liu Bian didn't care and said: "This is easy.
You convey my will to the envoy of the Dayue clan.
I will receive him at Weiyang Palace tomorrow.
Do I want to give some rewards to the envoy of the Dayue clan?
After all, he came all the way and offered me lions and beauties.
Wouldn’t it be unreasonable if I didn’t give him something?”
Liu Cheng cupped his hands and said: "The reward should not be too many, and it does not need to be expensive, but the line must be special and represent the cultural characteristics of our Han Dynasty.
All the ministers have been prepared for this.
Your Majesty will receive Prince Modinanga."
When the time comes, you just need to read it once.”
"That's very good, very good.
Have you decided on the candidate for the envoy?"
Liu Bian asked again.
Liu Cheng cupped his hands and replied: "Wei Chen intends to make Liu Ye, the legal officer of Sikong Mansion, the envoy."
Liu Bian was a little confused: "Is Liu Ye too young and lacking in qualifications?
Besides, the Yuezhi Kingdom sent a prince here, but we only sent a young man there.
It's not good, okay?"
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry.
The ministers have already summoned the courtiers to discuss this matter.
The neighboring countries have sent envoys to meet with Your Majesty.
We do not have to send ministers of the same level to return the visit.
The envoys only need to represent Your Majesty and the Han Dynasty.
Just the will , in order to improve his status, you can appoint him as the plenipotentiary envoy of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and your Majesty, please don’t forget that Liu Ye is a member of the clan and your Majesty has no brothers and uncles, so you can only find someone from the side branches of the clan, Liu Ye is the best candidate” Liu Bian said indifferently: "I don't understand what a plenipotentiary special envoy is, so let's leave it at that."

"Then I will not disturb Your Majesty.
I will retire."
Liu Bian waved his hand, stood up and continued to watch the situation in the Colosseum.
Liu Cheng returned to Sikong Mansion and sent someone to find Liu Ye.
Liu Ye approached the lobby and bowed his hands and said: "Greetings, my lord."
Liu Cheng put down what he was doing, walked out from behind the desk and said, "Zi Yang, in a few days the Dayuezhi Kingdom's envoy will leave for home.
The imperial court has decided to send a mission to return home, but it has been decided.
I have been hesitant about the choice of envoy.
After much deliberation over the past few days, I still plan to let you go.
After all, you and I have been to the Western Regions.
Beyond the southwest border of Shule Kingdom is Da Yueshi.
Country, just look at Congling.
Furthermore, you are young and energetic, physically strong, and act calmly.
You have quick thinking and adaptability to situations.
Others are not as good as you in these aspects.
In addition, you are still a member of the clan. , even though you are not a king, your clan status can also show to Dayuezhi Kingdom how much our great Han attaches importance to this mission.
I don’t know what you think.”
Liu Ye did not hesitate and replied: "I obey my orders."
"Okay, let's sit down and talk, I have something to tell you."
"yes" The two immediately sat down as guests and hosts.
Liu Cheng took a sip of tea and said, "This time you are sent as envoy to Dayuezhi Kingdom.
The first thing you must do is that no matter what the circumstances, you must not do anything that is disgraceful to the country.
You must not be corrupted."
Although I have lost the prestige of the Han Dynasty, I cannot go to see the king of the vassal state as an envoy of the heavenly kingdom.
The Dayue clan is called the Kushan Empire in the West.
It has been more than 150 years since its founding and has a complete history. civilization system, our interactions with them must be conducted on an equal footing."
"Secondly, we must restrain the random guards and officials and not allow them to do illegal things in the Yuezhi Kingdom.
If this happens, we must try our best to negotiate with the officials of the Yuezhi Kingdom and let us handle it on our own.
This Among the entourage are not only officials, but also representatives of Taoism, military strategists, Confucianism, Mohism, and Buddhism.
In addition, there are also leaders of large business groups from various places.
Pay attention to their safety."
"Again, when it comes to specific interest discussions, Ben Sikong only puts forward one general principle: the interests of the Han Dynasty must not be damaged.
When dealing with foreign affairs, there are only exchanges and trade-offs of interests, without benevolence, morality, humility, and every penny must be fought. " "The above are the principles mentioned by this Sikong.
As for the specific situation, you need to adapt to the situation.
As long as you adhere to these principles, there will be no problems.
When you return to Chang'an in the future, this Sikong will celebrate your success."
Liu Ye stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Please remember that I don't know when the mission will leave."
Liu Chengdao: "Prince Modinanga came to see this Sikong in person yesterday and talked about this matter.
It has been confirmed.
The time is set to be three days later, so you still have two days to deal with family affairs, and one day to Time to familiarize ourselves with the conditions of our own mission, go ahead.”
"Yes, I am resigning":
