When, when, when......

The distant and empty bell rang from afar, and the little yellow door guarding outside Liu Hong's palace was awakened, and then entered the palace gate, through the curtain, and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's noon, it's time to get up." (Little Yellow Gate is one of the titles of eunuchs in the Han Dynasty)

After shouting three times, Xiao Huangmen saw that there was no movement, and was about to get closer, but suddenly heard the movement, and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty is already noon, are you freshening up?" ”

"Huh? Is it noon? Liu Hong didn't seem to have woken up yet, his brain slowed down by half a beat, and said, "Then get up!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The little yellow door answered and asked someone to come in.

I didn't want Liu Hong to say again: "Is there anything important?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty!" Xiao Huangmen paused and said, "Zhang Changshou came earlier, and now he is waiting in Deyang Palace. ”

"Huh?" Liu Hong became interested, and shouted in his slightly immature voice, "Zhang Changshi is here, why don't you wake me up?" ”

It can be seen that Liu Hong's favor for Zhang Rang is extraordinary.

Xiao Huangmen said in fear: "Your Majesty spares your life, not because the villain is in charge of his own affairs, but because the Lord Chang waits for him not to let him, saying that he will wait for His Majesty to wake up." ”

"Humph!" Liu Hong walked out of the tent and snorted coldly, "Since it was Zhang Changshi who said it this time, I will spare you, if there is a next time, go and receive your death, so as not to miss my big event." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing your life!" Say goodbye to the little yellow door.

"Alright, get up!" Liu Hong felt greatly satisfied, shook his hand, and said, "Immediately wash for me, so that I can play, cough, and discuss important matters with Zhang Changshi." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The little yellow gate didn't seem to hear anything wrong, and in response, he retreated to the temple gate and called many people in. The dressing of Liu Hong, the grooming of the grooming, turned out to be orderly, and at first glance he was a trained person.

After a short time, Liu Hong finished grooming and waved away all the palace maids and insiders. (The insider, one of the titles of eunuchs, is mostly for the emperor to dress and groom)

"I'll have dinner in Deyang Hall today, and let someone send one to Zhang Changshi."

When it was over, Liu Hong gave another order to Xiao Huangmen.

When he arrived at the Deyang Palace, Liu Hong walked in alone. Seeing a person sitting at the bottom of the steps, Liu Hong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said happily: "What fun do Zhang Changshou have here today?" ”

"Old minister Zhang let me see Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang didn't have the slightest joy, just bowed.

Liu Hongwu didn't realize it, stepped forward, pulled Zhang Rang up with his small hand, and said: "Why is Zhang Changzhi so angry after not seeing him for two days?" ”

Zhang Rang smiled bitterly: "It's not what the old minister wants, it's really that the ministers of the court and the central government have a lot of words, and it is the old minister who has taught His Majesty badly, and he has to do this under verbal criticism." ”

Liu Hong was immediately dissatisfied, and pouted and said, "Don't pay attention to those people, this is my world, and everything is up to me." ”

After successfully administering eye medicine to the ministers of the DPRK and China, Zhang Rang was overjoyed, but replied quietly on his face: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Your Majesty's words are a holy decree, and whoever dares not to listen to it is disrespectful to the decree. ”

After speaking, Zhang Rang saw that Liu Hong's face softened when he was praised, and pretended to sigh.

"Hey~"

Liu Hong is at a loss, I have me to support you, why are you sighing? Don't believe me?

Liu Hong was furious: "What does Zhang Changshi mean by this?" Isn't this my country? My words don't work? ”

Zhang Rang saw that the time had arrived, and hurriedly said: "It's not like this, it's not like this!" ”

"Why is that?" Liu Hongqi said.

Zhang Rang's face was bitter, and he said pitifully: "Hey, it's not Xianbei who made trouble." ”

"Xianbei? The barbarians of the North? What's wrong with them? ”

Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong's curiosity, smiled again in his heart, and then said: "This Xianbei barbarian is very bold, and he dares to offend my big Han Tianwei and go south to detain the edge. That's it, but what does this old minister have to do with it? ”

"Uh~" Liu Hong felt that his brain was a little insufficient, there was no way, this turn was a little fast, slowly?

After a pause, Liu Hong came back to his senses and said, "Yes, what does this have to do with Zhang Changshi?" ”

What's the point? Get to the point, okay?

Zhang Rang was not in a hurry, his expression was still the same, and he said: "Yes, the old minister also wants to understand, when did the Xianbei barbarian and the old minister have a relationship?" Why is it that they went south to buckle the border is the reason for the old minister? The old minister doesn't understand! ”

"I don't know if Your Majesty understands?" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong with great anticipation, as if he was not a child emperor who was just in his early tens, but a wise and discerning emperor.

Liu Hong really felt all this, and the pride on his face couldn't be hidden. Seeing it, Zhang Rang secretly said in his heart: It's done!

"That's, how could I not understand." Liu Hong said proudly, "But Zhang Changshou will have to wait for a while if he wants to know." ”

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is a martial artist!" Zhang Ranghao praised shamelessly, "Ancestor bless, the Han Dynasty is going to produce another generation of Ming Jun ......"

A burst of praise made Liu Hong a little embarrassed, in the end, he was younger, and his early life was poorer, and he had not yet reached the realm of being praised and his face was as immobile as a mountain.

After a while, after Zhang Rang made Liu Hong realize the terrible fact that Xianbei went south.

"How's that okay?" Liu Hong was taken aback and couldn't help but be a little impatient.

Immediately, seeing Zhang Rang's calm look, Liu Hong also followed and said, "Zhang Changshou has already dealt with it, why don't you listen to it?" ”

Zhang Rang said without hesitation: "Your Majesty has obviously made a decision, but you still want the old minister to come to it, so let's talk about the old minister's suggestion." ”

Liu Hong pretended to be profound: "Well, let's listen to it, maybe it's the same as I thought." ”

Rao is Zhang let think that he was very thick-skinned, and he was also stimulated. Fortunately, Liu Hong was immersed in pretending and didn't notice it.

Zhang Rang recovered his previous indifference and said: "Lord Taichang has extraordinary wisdom and scheming, and he has been fighting the barbarians of Bian County for many years. ”

"Huh?" Liu Hong pretended to be surprised, and said, "Zhang Changshi really understands my heart, that's right, what I think about is Zhang Huan, if you want to have him come out, you will definitely succeed." ”

With the previous experience, Zhang Rang was not stimulated at all this time, and continued to boast: "Your Majesty is clever, and the old minister is ashamed!" ”

What's the point?

Liu Hong was very useful, and then ordered to appoint Zhang Huan as the general of the Huns, and led the army to fight Xianbei.

The next morning, all the ministers participated in Zhang Rang and other permanent attendants, which made Liu Hong very unhappy, especially Gongsun Yan, who rarely went to the court, also came to the court this time, and he was even more unhappy.

However, then Gongsun Yan took the initiative to ask for orders to go north with the army, but Liu Hong was not sure of his mind for a while.

Although he gradually alienated Gongsun Yan under the instructions of the Empress Dowager Dong, he also felt that it was very reasonable, but he also knew that Gongsun Yan was a scribe, not a military general, and he felt that it was unnecessary to go north with the army.

Zhang Rang tacitly reached an agreement with Gongsun Yan, so he pushed it, agreed in a daze, appointed him as the supervisor of the army, and went north with Zhang Huan.

Afterwards, Empress Dowager Dong asked about Xianbei's southern invasion, and after learning about it from Liu Hong, she said very approvingly: "It should be so!" The kindness of the report has been repaid, and now it is his turn to contribute. ”

After hearing this, Liu Hong felt that it was reasonable, so he temporarily forgot about Gongsun Yan. Knowing that Xianbei was repulsed, the news of Gongsun Yan's death came.

Liu Hong was first overjoyed, and then uneasy. Gongsun Yan is Liu Hong's cronies, which is known to all ministers, and now that the people are gone, it seems inappropriate not to express it.

Liu Hong, who couldn't make up his mind for a while, came to Zhang Rang to discuss, but Zhang Rang didn't interject for some reason, but just asked him to talk to Empress Dowager Dong.

Empress Dowager Dong didn't expect that listening to Zhang Rang's suggestion would lead to the death of Gongsun Yan, and she couldn't help but be surprised. But she didn't expect that there was anything dirty in it.

"Your Majesty, Gongsun Yan died in battle for the two of us, and we must be appeased with a good life, so as not to chill people's hearts." Empress Dowager Dong said very seriously.

Liu Hong wanted to touch his head, but he forgot to have a crown on his head, which caused a collision of Yuzao with a crisp sound.

If you can't touch it, don't touch it, Liu Hong took his hand and said, "Queen Mother, how should I appease it?" ”

"Well, let's seal the Hou of the Guannei!" Empress Dowager Dong pondered for a moment and said.

Liu Hong nodded, and said, "What about the previous marriage?" ”

"Well, don't bother with it yet. Let's wait two years. ”

Liu Hong didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't object either.

Later, when I was bored, I talked about it to Zhang Rang, and I understood.

"Your Majesty, although Xianbei has retreated now, it is not yet known what the situation in Liaodong is. However, judging from the situation in Yanmen and other counties, I am afraid that there is more than one bad luck, and maybe the Liaodong Taishou is gone. However, now that Lord Gongsun Yan has just died, it is not appropriate to withdraw the marriage, but after the news of the death of Liaodong Taishou comes back two years, it is logical to take back his fate. ”

Liu Hong suddenly realized, but he didn't think that Gongsun Du was not only alive, but also alive and well, and had also achieved victory, not a "winnable and undefeated" victory like Zhang Huan.
