Zhou Kang ran halfway, heard that Zeng had surrounded the capital first, and was almost scared to pee, so he fled back to Luoyang overnight.

As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he received the news of Zhou Heng's victory in defending the capital, so he complained about God's injustice and let Zhou Heng win. But he didn't know that his every move was under the surveillance of secret agents, Zhou Heng grasped all his movements, and summoned Mr. Meng to the Jinshen Hall to discuss for a long time.

Mr. Meng has now become a bachelor of Zuo Chunfang, Zheng Wupin, and is in charge of the affairs of the East Palace. Zhou Heng did not set up a prince, he just hung up a title, but he was actually Zhou Heng's staff. Zhou Heng consulted with the cabinet on major government matters, but before discussing with the cabinet, he sometimes let Mr. Meng and Wen first. If there is anything inconvenient to discuss with the cabinet, then only Mr. Meng and other important aides can hear about it.

After discussing with Mr. Meng, Zhou Heng did not make a decision immediately. Emperor An did not seek his own politics during his reign, and after the government was messed up by Wang Zhehu, the people's livelihood was not as prosperous as when Wenzong was in power. Coupled with the fact that 200,000 elites died in Giethoorn Fort, can the current Dajia Dynasty still withstand the war?

Zhou Heng returned to Anhua Palace, played with Lele for a while, picked up the recital and corrected it.

Cui Keyin rubbed his shoulder and said, "Can't you rest for a while?" ”

Working like this day and night, even the iron body can't stand it.

Zhou Heng leaned on his back in her arms. Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Ying immediately led the palace people to retreat.

Cui Keyin gently massaged his scalp and said: "When the first emperor was there, the government was in ruins, and there must be a process to let the people live and work in peace and contentment again. Even if you are in a hurry, you can't rush it. ”

Zhou Heng sighed softly and closed his eyes slightly. told Zhou Kang about fleeing the fiefdom without permission, and said: "If you force him to rebel at this time, the war will be connected, and I am afraid that the people will not be able to bear it." If we ignore it and wait for him to be fully prepared, we will be passive. Mr. Meng's meaning is that it is better to be still than to be still, it is better to wait and see what happens, and then gradually reduce the feudal domain in a few years, or it may make the military disaster disappear invisibly. ”

Cui Keyin kept on his hands. Thoughts in my head. said: "The king of Chu has no soldiers and horses in his hands, how can he rebel?" Isn't he secretly raising soldiers? ”

Luoyang is prosperous, but it is not a place to garrison. Zhou Kang, who is the title of the prince, is according to the system. There were only a few thousand guards in their hands. How can it be reversed?

Zhou Heng said: "According to investigation. He had nearly 30,000 men in his hands. Over the years, he raised silver taels in many ways, mostly for raising private soldiers. When the royal brother is there. He has been preparing, but he didn't expect the imperial brother to die young. I took the position, and he was even more unconvinced, and this time he came to Beijing privately, and he originally meant to compete with me for the position.

It's just that the message transmission is inconvenient, the traffic is blocked, and he is far away in Luoyang, which is not as convenient as me in the capital. I don't know if he regretted it in his heart, and tried to get rid of me with the heart of the emperor's brother, but he didn't expect it to make me a fisherman. ”

"With 30,000 soldiers in hand, it's not enough to rebel." Cui Keyin said.

Zhou Heng straightened his legs, leaned his upper body completely into Cui Keyin's arms, and said: "If he takes the risk and uses 30,000 people to take Luoyang by surprise, persuade the Luoyang prefect to surrender, and incorporate the defenders of Luoyang, using this as a stronghold, step by step, it may not be impossible to succeed." ”

Cui Keyin deduced in her mind whether Zhou Kang's doing this would work, and thought about it, and the hand massaging Zhou Heng's scalp stopped unconsciously. Zhou Heng just closed his eyes, leaned on her soft chest, smelled her sweet scent, and didn't move.

After a long time, Cui Keyin shook his head and said, "If this works, he won't wait until now." When the first emperor was there, the government was chaotic and the people were scattered, so he didn't dare to do anything. Now that the emperor is working hard and the people are wanting, how dare he do it? ”

"Don't forget, the imperial brother's succession to the throne is orthodox, and my succession is forced by the situation." Zhou Heng said: "He has a hole to exploit." ”

For example, if you leave Emperor An's edict. Although the courtiers knew that it was fake, the ignorant people could hardly tell the difference, and even if they were eventually suppressed by bullets and connected by war, many people would die.

For a person who is bent on rebellion, rebellion is only a matter of time, and it will not change the idea of rebellion over time.

Cui Keyin thought for a long time and said, "It's better to force him to rebel." Even if there is a military disaster, it is only in the Luoyang area. We took advantage of the great victory in the capital, but our morale was high. ”

"That's what I thought too." Zhou Hengqian opened his eyes and said, "In this way, wait for me to start cutting the domain." ”

Cutting the feudal domain is the best way to force the rebellion. A prince who has no ambition will obediently accept the arrangement of cutting the domain, but for a prince who has ambition to rebel, how can he accept the cutting of the domain? Isn't that self-sufficiency?

The husband and wife had already decided, Zhou Heng let go of his thoughts, relaxed all over, and said: "Zhou Quan was humiliated by you, but he no longer wants to make a fuss about it." He did not resign or ask for leave, and went to the office every day with a cane. It's just that many people shy away from him after knowing what he did to his biological daughter. ”

Even his own daughter can starve to death, how good can it be for others?

Zhou Heng also wanted to apply all the noisy courtiers with a court staff and beat them until they were afraid, but he didn't expect that without Zhou Quan, the initiator, everyone couldn't make trouble.

He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Cui Keyin pursed her lips and smiled, "You're not afraid of people saying that you are a faint gentleman who is obsessed with women?" ”

"Where am I obsessed with women? I only have one queen, not even a concubine. Zhou Heng seemed to scream against the sky, but with a smile on his face, he said, "It's a pity that I can't spank them anymore." Don't you see how ridiculous these usually dignified old guys look like they have their pants off one by one. ”

Cui Keyin glanced at him and said, "The people who dare to love are worried to death, you are playing with these courtiers." ”

In fact, she was not too worried, but the pressure from Cui Zhenyi somewhat made her worry about Zhou Heng's reputation. As for her, she has been told that her life is hard since she was a child, and she doesn't take it to heart, not to mention that there is a strong husband in charge at this time, what is there to worry about?

Zhou Heng laughed twice and said, "So you made me a regular dress for the first time?" ”

The Yanju regular clothes made by Cui Keyin were worn by him at this time, and he immediately changed them when he returned to Anhua Palace. Now I don't wear it for a day, and I'm really not used to it.

Cui Keyin looked at the clothes on his body and said, "Don't you think the stitches are bad?" I still wear it! ”

"My daughter-in-law made it for me, why don't I wear it? Yesterday, I praised you for your good needlework in front of Tang Qing, which startled Tang Qing, and I didn't know how to answer. Ha ha. Zhou Heng said, laughing. He just wants to praise her in front of the ministers, or he wants to spoil her alone, and what can they do with him?

Seeing him like a big naughty boy, Cui Keyin also smiled and said, "I'm afraid that my uncle will tell my aunt when he returns home." It seems that in a few days my grandmother will enter the palace and make fun of me. ”

Mrs. Zhang was troubled by her dislike of needlework, but she didn't expect that she would make regular clothes for the emperor now, wouldn't it make Mrs. Zhang overjoyed? (To be continued.) )
