As the news of Longyou's victory spread to Shudi, a few days later, Li Yan of Jiangzhou made a performance.

In addition to the praise of the top, he also explained to the Son of Heaven that some time ago, because Jiangzhou had not prepared food and soldiers, he did not follow the prime minister to Hanzhong in time.

Now the soldiers and horses are ready to go.

At the same time, he also sent 5,000 stone of grain to Jincheng in advance.

It is related to the real power of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, he is also the first person in the name of the prime minister, Shi Zhangyi, the governor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Jiang Wan, who joined the army, did not dare to slack off.

After obtaining the consent of the Son of Heaven of the Great Han, he sent Li Yan's recital to the prime minister in front of him as quickly as possible.

Li Yan suddenly ran out to stir up the situation at this time, which not only made Zhang Yi and Jiang Wan feel a little tricky, but even Liu Chan felt a little uneasy.

Because he was not only the minister of the first emperor, but also had elite soldiers, at this time, he relied on his courage to lead the army to Hanzhong, and no one knew what his plan was.

The most important thing is that from Jiangzhou to Hanzhong, it is bound to pass through Jincheng.

Li Yan first persuaded the prime minister to enter Jiuxi, and then thought about cutting the five counties to form a land of their own, and finally before the Northern Expedition, he was unwilling to leave Jiangzhou and go north, which had already made the emperor of the Han Dynasty have deep doubts in his heart.

If he wanted to take advantage of the fact that most of the national army was in front of him, it would be a great disaster.

After discussion, Shi Zhangyi, the governor of the palace, and Jiang Wan, who joined the army, proposed to Liu Chan that it was better to find a way to let Li Zhongdu protect the troops first, and then Zhang Yi himself went to Longyou to consult the prime minister in person.

Liu Chan allowed it, and then immediately gave Li Yan a decree: The overall situation of Longyou has been decided, and now the prime minister has no intention of increasing troops, please protect Jiangzhou and prepare grain and grass.

After the will was issued, Liu Chan regretted it a little, for fear that he would anger Li Yan, and after returning to the palace, he was restless.

Zhang Xingcai saw the emperor like this, and after learning about the whole thing, he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "Before Your Majesty ascended the throne, Han Jia Taishou Huang Yuan rebelled and raised troops to the east. ”

"From time to time, Yang Hong has a plan for me......" Liu Chan said this, suddenly came to his senses, looked at Zhang Xingcai, and said happily, "Why did I forget him?" ”

It's just that he was a little puzzled and said, "Yang Hong is the Taishou of Shu County, and the matter of Jincheng should be asked." And the prime minister said before leaving, if there is an emergency, you can also ask it. ”

"It's just that after I heard about Li Yan, I was in a hurry and couldn't remember it, why didn't Li Yi and Jiang Wan remind me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingcai shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, don't you know that this Zhang descendant and Yang Hong have long been out of contact?" Zhang Yi is talented and intelligent, good at governing affairs, but unfortunately his temperament is too extreme to be fair to others. ”

"Now that he is staying in the governor's history, it can be regarded as restraint if he doesn't trouble Yang Hong. But if he takes the initiative to mention Yang Hong in His Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Liu Chan asked in surprise, "How did the queen know so clearly?" If Zhang Yi is really such a person, wouldn't it be a mistake for the prime minister to let him be the governor of the palace? ”

Zhang Xingcai explained, "The prime minister went north and left people to assist His Majesty, how could the concubine not pay attention to these assistants? Therefore, he inquired about Zhang Yiqi in many ways. ”

"Zhang Yi and Yang Hong had a good relationship when they were young, wasn't he exiled to Soochow by the people of Nanzhong a few years ago? His son Zhang Yu was a clerk in the county, and was punished by Yang Hong for making a small mistake. ”

"After Zhang Yi came back from Soochow, he heard about this and hated Yang Hong for not punishing him too severely, so the two broke off their relationship."

"Jiang Wan is just a member of the army, his qualifications and status are not as good as Zhang Yi, plus he has a generous temperament and doesn't like to fight with others, how can he offend Zhang Yi?"

"So the concubine thought that this Jiang Wan should want to come over to remind His Majesty after Zhang Yi left Jincheng."

Liu Chan listened to it and was slightly dissatisfied, "How can such a major national event be abolished because of Zhang Yi's personal likes and dislikes?" Almost mistaken me! ”

"The prime minister asked Zhang Yi to stay in Jincheng, I think there is a reason, right? After all, Zhang Yi is a native of Shu County, and he has a reputation for a long time, so let him stay as the governor of the prefecture, thinking that it will be more convenient than others to reconcile the relationship between the officials and people of Shu. ”

Zhang Xingcai was half guessing and half persuading, "Your Majesty, at this time, it is better to ask Yang Hong first." ”

"Why don't you let him into the palace?"

Liu Chan was puzzled.

Zhang Xingcai patiently explained, "Your Majesty, Yang Hong is very old, he gave a lot of advice to the first emperor back then, and later helped His Majesty to quell the Huangyuan Rebellion. ”

"Such a national event, Your Majesty should personally go to inquire about it, Your Majesty can do things like a father, and now Yang Hong is like a teacher, not only shows that Your Majesty respects the meritorious veterans, but also shows that Your Majesty is a virtuous corporal."

When Liu Chan heard this, he nodded, "What the queen said is very true. ”

So the emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered to go down and immediately prepare for driving.

Before he could leave the palace, he saw that the chamberlain who had left the palace to deliver the news to the Taishou Mansion came back and said that Yang Hong was sick and now he was sick on the couch, so he was afraid that he would not be able to see the Son of Heaven, so as not to spread the illness to the Son of Heaven.

"It is advisable to send a doctor as soon as possible, and now Fan A has gone to Hanzhong, but Li Dangzhi is still in Jincheng, and His Majesty can let him go to Yang Mansion to see a doctor."

Zhang Xingcai said decisively.

Although Li Dangzhi is a person in the Feng Mansion, since he came to Jincheng, he has been conditioning Zhang Xingcai's body.

According to Feng Yong's estimate, Zhang Xingcai would not let him leave before he gave birth to a child.

Li Dangzhi got the will, did not dare to slack off, went to Yang Hong to diagnose the disease, and came back to report that Yang Taishou was old and weak, and overwork, which caused the evil spirit to invade the body.

Knowing that Yang Hong's illness would not spread any illness, Liu Chan planned to visit him in person.

Although Liu Chan is called the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, there is only one state in the Han Dynasty, and many rules have to be changed according to the actual situation.

So if you travel today, you don't need to prepare too much.

The Yulin Army escorted the Son of Heaven out of the palace, got on the gallop, and drove in the direction of the Shu County Taishou Mansion in Jincheng.

When the car turned a corner and passed in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although he knew that the Prime Minister was not there, Liu Chan still subconsciously lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Who knew that this look made him stunned.

I saw that not far away in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of canopies, with a lot of traffic, and the door was like a city, and it was very lively.

"What's going on?"

Liu Chan asked with some confusion.

Huang Hu, who had been by his side, glanced to the side, and the little yellow door next to him understood, and hurriedly ran down to inquire.

After a while, Liu Chan heard Huang Hu say outside the car, "Your Majesty, I have inquired about the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Come on."

"No."

Huang Hu got into the car, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, those people in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion have all come to visit Zhang Yi. ”

"Zhang Yi?" Liu Chan looked at Huang Hu and frowned slightly, "When Father Xiang was here, there had never been such a lively scene in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why did so many people come to visit him when it came to the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhang Yi?" ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Yi is going north tomorrow to meet the prime minister, so these people are here to say goodbye."

Huang Hu lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard the question of the Son of Heaven, and just said what he knew, how could he dare to comment on Prime Minister and Zhang Yi?

"Say goodbye to Zhang Yi?"

Liu Chan lifted the curtain again, although the Prime Minister's Mansion had been left behind, his eyes were fixed looking at the back, thoughtful.

Compared with the hustle and bustle in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Hong's Mansion is not only deserted, but also the gate of the mansion is still a little old.

When Liu Chan entered the mansion, he saw that the number of slaves was not large, and he had another emotion at the moment.

The father set an example, so the rule of the Han officials is still upright. It's just that when he came back, he learned about the scene at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't know what to think?

Thinking like this, he stepped into Yang Hong's hospital room.

"The minister is sick and can't get up to greet Your Majesty, don't look at Your Majesty."

Yang Hong was sick and his body was very weak, and when he saw Liu Chan coming in, he hurriedly half-propped himself up and said with difficulty.

Liu Chan stepped forward quickly, pressed Yang Hong to lie down, and said with relief, "Yang Gong works hard for the country, so he is tired, to blame, and to blame me for not being considerate of my subordinates, how can I blame you?" ”

"Your Majesty is kind, thank you." Hearing Liu Chan speak like this, Yang Hong showed a touched look on his face, "The Han Dynasty has a benevolent monarch like Your Majesty, which is really a blessing for the ministers and the people." ”

"The doctor told me that Yang Gong is overworked and needs to rest and rest."

Liu Chan said, with an apologetic look on his face, "I shouldn't have come over to disturb, but now there is a matter that I can't do for a long time, so I have to come over and ask Aiqing's opinion." ”

Yang Hong smiled on his dry face, looked at Liu Chan and said, "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of His Majesty, and it is too late for the minister to rejoice, so why bother?" Your Majesty has something difficult, but please come. ”

Liu Chan knew that Yang Hong was low on energy and couldn't stay too long, so he made a long story short and told Li Yan about it.

Yang Hong listened, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then he opened his eyes again, looking relaxed.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry, it's just that Li Yan learned of Longyou's great victory and wanted to test His Majesty and the Prime Minister, this person will definitely not do anything wrong at this time."

When Liu Chan heard this, he was overjoyed, "How can Yang Aiqing be so sure?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister worked with Li Yan for a long time, and even quarreled with him, which can be regarded as a person who understands him deeply."

"Li Yan is indeed talented, but he is very selfish, good at clinging, and more importantly, he is a person who benefits himself and will not easily get into danger."

"Your Majesty, forgive the old minister for saying a bold word, if someone really dares to make a move at this time, it is absolutely impossible for the initiator to be Li Yan. And Li Yan will not easily respond to rebellion, unless the Han is really gone. ”

Seeing Yang Hong say this with such certainty, most of the stones in Liu Chan's heart were finally put down, but he was still a little puzzled, "Since Yang Aiqing said that he was tempting, then he is not afraid that I will really let him lead the army to Hanzhong?" ”

"Your Majesty, Li Yan has already calculated it, the prime minister is not here, Your Majesty will definitely not easily make a move to change the situation of the Han Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is still bullying His Majesty when he is young and not enough to control the overall situation. ”

As soon as Liu Chan heard this, his face changed, and he became angry in his heart: This Li Yan, how long will he be bullying him?

Yang Hong had a holiday with Li Yan, and he despised him, although he saw Liu Chan's expression change, he would not say good things to Li Yan.

I could only hear him continue, "Besides, even if there is such a case, he will not suffer." ”

Liu Chan still didn't understand, "Why is this?" ”

Yang Hong smiled, "Your Majesty, now Hanzhong is not as good as in the past, as a minister of Tuogu, his status is noble, when he gets there, there will be people to welcome him, where will he get less benefits?" ”

"Besides, although Longyou is almost a foregone conclusion, the Northern Expedition is still far from over. He saw that Longyou's great victory was profitable, so he sent grain and grass first, and if he led the army to go again, he would really talk about the credit in the future, how could he not have his share, right? ”

Liu Chan listened to Yang Hong's analysis, and then suddenly realized, and at the same time a little discouraged, compared to these old courtiers, he still can't calculate after all-always feel that everyone is better than himself?

Seeing Yang Hong's expression becoming more and more tired, Liu Chan had to comfort him to have a good rest.

It's just that before leaving, Liu Chan finally couldn't help but ask, "Yang Gong, before the prime minister was stationed in Hanzhong, let Zhang Yi be the governor of the palace, I heard that you are familiar with him, what do you think of him?" ”

Yang Hong glanced at Liu Chan in some surprise, as if he was surprised that he asked these words.

I saw that he was silent for a long time this time, and then he spoke, "In terms of talent, Zhang Yi is indeed qualified for the position of Governor Shi." ”

Liu Chan waited for a while, but didn't hear below, "That's it?" ”

Yang Hong glanced at Liu Chan again, and then asked slowly, "What rumors did Your Majesty hear?" ”

Liu Chan shook his head, "No." ”

Yang Hong sighed, "Your Majesty, since the prime minister has asked Zhang Yi to be the governor of the palace, there must be considerations. Zhang Yicai is not only qualified for the post of governor of Liufu, but also loyal to the Han. ”

"Back then, because of the Nanzhong Rebellion, he was captured by Yonghong and taken to Eastern Wu, and lived in exile and seclusion in Eastern Wu for several years, but he still did not change his will, and was determined to return to the Han Dynasty, even if Sun Quan sent people to chase after him, he did not look back, which is really rare."

"Such a loyal and talented person is exactly what he should do, and Your Majesty should not doubt him because of rumors."

Hearing Yang Hong's words, Liu Chan hesitated.

Seeing Liu Chan's appearance, Yang Hong finally became a little worried, now is the critical time of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Yi is the prime minister's person who stayed in Jincheng to deal with affairs, and his identity is extraordinary.

If something happens in the rear, it will inevitably affect the prime minister's plan for the Northern Expedition, and at that moment he finally asked without hesitation, "Does Your Majesty really have a prejudice against Zhang Yi?" ”

"Yang Gong, I know that you have a holiday with him, and you don't want to talk about people behind your back, so as not to bear the notoriety. But he was going north tomorrow to meet the prime minister, and when I passed by the prime minister's mansion, I saw that the front of the mansion was very lively. ”

"I heard that hundreds of people came to say goodbye to him, and when the prime minister was there, the prime minister's mansion was not so lively, and he only stayed in Changshi for a year, and he became like this."

Liu Chan said this and sighed, "It's just that since he is appointed by the prime minister, and Yang Gong said that he is indeed competent, then forget about this matter." ”

When Yang Hong heard this, he smiled, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing. ”

"How?"

Liu Chanqi said.

"Zhang Yi is now in the north to see the prime minister, and most of the people who come to visit him must be for the benefit of Longyou, which shows that the Han people are all of the same desire."

"If you want the same thing, great things can be expected, and the greater the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty. Isn't that a good thing? Besides, the reason why those people visited Zhang Yi was because he held the post of governor of Liufu, and nothing else. ”

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. The king of a thousand times, the prince of ten thousand families, and the king of a hundred rooms, is still poor, and the situation is a husband? ”

"Your Majesty can't force everyone to be as indifferent and simple as the prime minister, most people in the world will still pursue profits, so it is natural for them to visit Zhang Yi."

When Liu Chan heard this, he suddenly realized, and said, "I thank Yang Gong for his advice." ”

Yang Hongqiang smiled to himself, but he couldn't support it anymore, closed his eyes and fainted, so frightened that Liu Chan hurriedly shouted, "Doctor!" ”
