Chapter Ninety-Three: Transformation
Since no one was willing to go to the disaster, the matter was over.
The money and grain donated by Pingyang Hou, Taifu, Taixueling, and Yushi Dafu were all sent to the disaster area by the Great Agricultural Order.
In addition, 10,000 yuan and 1 million stone of grain were transferred from the inner treasury to the 16 eastern counties. ”
Liu Che almost gritted his teeth and said these words, but everyone knew in their hearts that although this money and food seemed like a lot, if it was really distributed to millions of people, it would definitely not last for half a month, or even ten days.
This is still the best plan, Zhang Yuan estimated in his heart, peeling off the layers of goods, and finally being able to leave one-fifth of it to the people in the disaster area, they are already the Han Dynasty and these officials and lords pity those people.
"Go down."
Wang Sui beside Liu Che has been replaced, replaced by a eunuch Zhang Yuan didn't know, but Zhang Yuan didn't care.
As time goes by, in addition to the emperor and the emperor's son, it is estimated that all the people in the palace will be replaced by eunuchs, but I don't know where Wang Sui was replaced, and Zhang Yuan did not see his trace in the main hall.
After the court meeting ended, Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing were not in a very good mood, and even Cao Xiang who was on the side was not in a very good mood.
This half-grown boy didn't know what had just happened in the main hall.
only knew that his uncle seemed to have forgotten himself, but if he forgot it, he forgot it, and Wei Qing played with him.
Zhang Yuan saw that Wei Qing was still amusing Cao Xiang, and found that Wei Qing was just giving it a try, and he didn't have much confidence in changing Liu Che's mind today.
As for Princess Pingyang, the same is true, even if nothing changes, the money and food will be donated, it is better to let Zhang Yuan see the cruelty of reality.
"Brother Qing, to be honest, didn't you think you would succeed at all?"
Zhang Yuan looked at Wei Qing, who was smiling, and still asked what he said in his heart, he couldn't coax his younger brother to treat him as a child like Cao Xiang.
"That is something, to be honest, I also have a bit of a fluke, now it seems that Your Majesty is no longer the original Majesty, whether it is the Prime Minister or us or others, Your Majesty will not deal with anyone or woo anyone because of a gap with the courtiers.
His Majesty only supports the choice that is beneficial to him, and the prime minister in the hall basically didn't talk much today, but his doctrine of destiny is beneficial to His Majesty, at least His Majesty thinks so, so no matter whether the prime minister speaks later or not, His Majesty will support him.
Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang once told me yesterday that there is only one person in this world who can go against His Majesty's will or change His Majesty's mind, and that is the Queen Mother.
The rest of the people, whether it is you or me, the distant brother, the queen or Mrs. Wei, or the prime minister, it is impossible for Dr. Shi to change His Majesty's mind. ”
Although Wei Qing said with a smile on his face, his tone was extremely confused, he didn't know if it was good or bad.
In the past, it seemed that it was just a struggle between Liu Che and Tian Wei, a struggle for power between the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister.
But I don't know when it started, this kind of fight Liu Che has not ended much.
Zhang Yuan thought about it, he didn't seem to be worthy of being Tian Wei's opponent at all, why did Tian Wei suddenly think about killing himself last time as an idle person with no official or position, you must know that at that time he was just a doctor of engineering, although he mastered papermaking and printing, but he died These two technologies must belong to Princess Pingyang.
You said dead, the official position was vacated and Tian Wei's own people took over? is just a doctor of engineering, maybe Zhang Yuan will not have this official position after he dies.
The Han Dynasty was actually a time when various systems in China were perfected, including the official system.
Two thousand stones of Taixue can be made, let alone a doctor or something, if Tian Wei is willing, Liu Che can arrange all his people to be doctors, I am afraid that Tian Wei is unwilling.
Now Wei Qing's words suddenly made the fog in front of Zhang Yuan's eyes disperse.
Liu Che is no longer the little emperor who has been on the throne for a few years, and Tian Wei also realized that he couldn't win the Son of Heaven at all, so he looked for some opponents who were easy to deal with.
There is also Liu Che who knows this way, no matter how Tian Wei fights, or his uncle, no matter what situation the emperor of the Han Dynasty gets into between them, he will still be him Liu Che.
Because the queen mother has only one son, and if she is replaced by someone else surnamed Liu as the emperor, Tian Wei's fate does not know how miserable it will be.
"Thank you Brother Qing for your heartfelt words today, I will definitely pay more attention in the future."
Wei Qing just nodded, he felt that even if he didn't say it, Zhang Yuan should be able to understand the situation in front of him.
Zhang Yuan knew that Liu Che would be domineering in the end, but he felt that it was after the death of the Queen Mother, because at that time Liu Che's power would reach its peak.
Liu Che's control of power in the history books is divided into several stages.
At the beginning, when the Empress Dowager Dou was still alive, Liu Che was actually a puppet-like existence, and basically did not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager Dou's intentions.
Then after the death of the Empress Dowager Dou, Tian Wei was appointed prime minister, and Liu Che began to fight for power with his uncle again, but because he was afraid of his mother, Liu Che has endured Tian Wei.
And then after Tian Wei's death, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty basically had no power, not even as good as Jiuqing, and no one inside and outside the court dared to disobey Liu Che's intentions.
In the end, the queen mother died, and at this time, not only were opinions unified inside and outside the court, but there was no other voice in the palace.
Zhang Yuanxun thought that Tian Wei could still carry it for a year and a half, but he didn't expect that the transfer of power would already begin now.
It's just that there is still no one to solve the flood in the sixteen eastern counties, Zhang Yuan thought of this, and wanted to return to Du County or even Lantian Mountain, close the door and no longer hear anything outside the window.
"Uncle Wei Qing, this uncle's face is not too good-looking, is he sick?"
Cao Xiang had already ridden on Wei Qing's neck when Zhang Yuan was shaking his head, looked at Zhang Yuan's sullen face, and asked Wei Qing with a smile.
"This uncle is fine, he just thinks about things and gets fascinated."
Wei Qing shook Cao Xiang on his shoulder, making him laugh several times.
When Zhang Yuan heard these two words, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot, this child is frail and sickly when he is young, and there must be more uncomfortable places than himself, but he doesn't have so many troubles, and he can laugh with a big belly.
Such a child is not very honest, and naturally he has no playmates, so it can be seen that Cao Xiang still has a sense of dependence on Wei Qing.
"Yes, what Uncle Wei Qing said is, uncle, I just think about things so much."
"That's good, if you're not happy, come to Pingyang Hou to play with me, I will definitely make my uncle happy."
