Liu Che asked Zhang Yuan some other questions very casually, and Zhang Yuan also answered them one by one.

After talking about the battle of Fuyang Jushan, Liu Che looked at Zhang Cigong and the others.

"Marquis of the shore, you and a few generals should go down.

When the autumn festival such as the reward is announced, I will announce it to the world. ”

Zhang Cigong nodded, and several other people also agreed to retreat.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Liu Che was going to whisper to Zhang Yuan.

After a few people left the main hall, Liu Che got up from his throne and walked to Zhang Yuan's side.

"You suggested that I deprive the county of the right to mint coinage, but I haven't thought about it yet."

"Your Majesty, this matter must be done, otherwise Your Majesty will hand over the copper mold of five baht to them, there is a huge profit hidden in it, and those people are not honest people."

The Han Dynasty did not prohibit officials from receiving gifts.

In such an environment, it is not illegal to take bribes, and naturally there are no honest officials.

When you are poor in function, it only means that you have no real power.

The reason why the Han Dynasty has repeatedly reformed the currency system, but has not been able to succeed, is that the copper mold flows out, and the channels for the outflow are inseparable from these counties.

"But if there is no such income, those counties will probably want to ask for money."

"Your Majesty, won't you be better able to control the Great Han?

If you think about what you are worried about, the country is nothing more than thinking about not making trouble, not having people who provoke rebellion.

Where do they start their troops without money? ”

Zhang Yuan saw that Liu Che's determination to reform the currency system was not very firm, so he immediately threw out the most important point.

It is also a point that Liu Che has been worried about.

It can be seen from Liu Che's ability to reform the currency system that he does not have this determination, but when he sees chaos, he changes it.

Anyway, reform is as simple as drinking white water for Liu Che, and if you want to reform, you can change it, and it doesn't matter what direction it is.

"You're right, money can't be put in the hands of people who have different intentions.

Before the Autumn Festival, I will take back the coinage rights from all over the country to the central government. ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I still have some things to understand, how did you block King Hutu and King Hun Evil."

Zhang Yuan smiled, he had never explained this matter.

"At that time, the minister asked Da Sima Weiqing if the desert was in the rainy season, I don't know if Your Majesty still has an impression?"

"I have a little impression, you only dared to take over this mess after you asked."

"The key is that in this rainy season, we have a map of the desert and know the distribution of rivers in the desert.

Although I don't know where those seasonal rivers are, during the rainy season, the rivers on the map will definitely extend, thus blocking all the roads from Wolf Juxu Mountain to Junji Mountain.

If King Hutu and King Hun Evil want to go to the city of Rongdang, there are only two ways to go, either through Henan, but then it will definitely be directly exposed, or they can only follow the south side of Junji Mountain to the narrow mountain of Fuyangju. ”

"What is the purpose of this seasonal river?"

"Well, seasonal rivers are rivers that only appear during the rainy season."

"Oh, I see."

When it comes to topics that Liu Che doesn't understand, his interest is obviously not so great.

After saying that, he immediately returned to his place and sat down.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please speak, and the minister will do so."

"You're in your thirties now, you've never been married, and you don't have any children or anything, so my sister and I discussed it and decided to give you a marriage."

"What?"

Zhang Yuan didn't react, and shouted at Liu Che with his head held high.

"You're not satisfied?"

Seeing that Liu Che was about to get angry, Zhang Yuan immediately lowered his head.

"I don't dare."

"Don't worry, this marriage can't wronged you, my sister found you a descendant of the Xiao family.

The great-granddaughter of the Marquis of Yuwen, on the day of your wedding, I will restore the title of Marquis of the Xiao family.

Your roots are very weak, the Cao family has no unmarried daughters, and the princesses are either married or not yet adults.

My sister thinks that among the nobles of the Han Dynasty, the most suitable for you is the descendants of the Xiao family. ”

"After the minister leaves the palace, he will come to thank Princess Pingyang."

"You should thank your sister for getting married as soon as possible, and marrying a mistress in the house, and marrying a few side rooms.

It should also be a great man who has more talents, and I promise you one thing, if you can give birth to a boy, I will allow him to study with the prince. ”

When Liu Che said this, Zhang Yuan's first reaction was to think of Han Yan.

He said to Han that way, Han Yan would definitely say bad things about himself to Liu Che in the future, so it was better to give Liu Che a preventive shot now.

"Your Majesty mentioned this, and the minister suddenly thought of Han Yan, the brother of the senior doctor, Han Yan."

"Oh? Didn't he go on the expedition with you, what's wrong with him? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, General Han has repeatedly asked to go on the expedition, and the last general has already made arrangements in his heart, so he refused."

"You are General Wei, the commander of the 56,000 cavalry, and this arrangement must be listened to.

I don't need to tell me about this. ”

"His Majesty once asked the minister about the five baht money, but the minister did not make it clear to General Han, saying that the minister deliberately concealed the holy will.

At that time, he was in the army, and the minister was the commander of the first army, and he was repeatedly provoked by a subordinate, and finally used military law.

General Han is now seriously injured, and I am afraid that the doctor Han Yan will be unhappy in his heart. ”

Zhang Yuan is now a great hero who came back from winning the battle, and he didn't accept Liu Che's Taifu seal, he just wanted to put an end to future troubles.

"Is there such a thing?"

"The minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, there are many people who know about this matter, Your Majesty can find a few people to ask and know the reason for the matter."

"I believe in you."

Liu Che touched his specially grown beard and squinted at Zhang Yuan.

Seems to be asking you only want this?

Zhang Yuan knelt on one knee and bowed to Liu Che.

"The minister can get the trust of His Majesty, and he has no grievances in this life."

Last time, Zhang Yuan got Li Guang, and now he just wants to get Han Xuan.

And this victory is even more exciting than the last one.

Last time, Wei Qing was the coach, and this time Zhang Yuan was the coach, and he didn't even use the 100,000 procrastination pawns in the back.

Liu Che thought about it, opened his mouth and said slowly.

"Since Han Xu's injuries are very serious, let's cut his position and let him recuperate at home first."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Yuan didn't mean to rectify Han Xuan, he just wanted to lighten the burden on his body.

The more things Zhang Yuan wants, the lighter the reward will be in the future.

And to break a person directly, just to let Liu Che leave Han Yu at home, is a matter of opening his mouth for Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, it's not early in the morning, and the minister still wants to go to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to thank Princess Pingyang for her kindness, so he will retire first."

"Okay, I've been fighting outside for a long time, go home after going to my sister's, you should have someone waiting for you at home."

Liu Che meant to let Zhang Yuan go home to appease and appease Zhuo Wenjun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, the minister knows."

Out of Weiyang Palace, Zhang Yuan did not go to Pingyang Hou's Mansion for the first time.

Instead, I went to meet the prime minister and the imperial doctor.

Although General Wei's official position is still on his body, it is always not wrong for hundreds of officials to go back to Chang'an to pay respects to these two.

Even if you become a general, you have to respect the prime minister.

Because the prime minister can resist pressure.

If a person doesn't take the prime minister seriously, the emperor will only think that your official is really the end.

This is how to behave in the world.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty is basically here to carry the black cauldron.

As long as you keep respecting the prime minister, then you will always be above the two of you.

This is the wisdom of being an official.

As a result, Prime Minister Xue Ze and the imperial historian Zhang Ouke were not used by Zhang Yuan.

When these two old foxes sent Zhang Yuan out, they walked all the way to the street and didn't go back until they watched Zhang Yuan's war horse leave.

After Zhang Yuan saw it, he felt that he was still a little tender compared to these old foxes.

The little selfishness was easily seen through by the other party.

After coming out of the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, Zhang Yuan found Wang Qing, who was still doing the Imperial History.

"Congratulations to the teacher, above the autumn festival, the teacher must be the protagonist."

"It's not a good thing to be the protagonist, I came to you to ask you if anything happened during the time I left Chang'an.

Especially about the Lord's Father. ”

"The master father went to Qi to be the prime minister."

"When did you leave?"

"It's about seven days after you set out, teacher."

Zhang Yuan is overjoyed, this guy is finally finished.

Maybe it can be finished before Wei Qing comes back, and the gap between Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing can be repaired at that time, and Wei Qing will not be unhappy because of Zhang Yuan's victory this time.

"Okay, you go find Yan Yi and go to my mansion with him, the night is a family banquet."

"Student, let's go."

Liu Che said that Zhang Yuan has no children and no daughters, but Zhang Yuan doesn't have two students.

After finishing this, Zhang Yuan rode his horse in the direction of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

He really wanted to ask clearly, Princess Pingyang, your old man's husband is dead, why don't you marry yourself off quickly, save yourself every day, eat radishes and worry about other people's affairs.

Zhang Yuan definitely can't be so straightforward, when he saw Princess Pingyang, the first thing he said was not to scold his mother.

"I would like to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"Yo, isn't this my great hero Zhang Yuan, Marquis of Xin'an?

After going to His Majesty's place, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, I thought you would worship all the Jiuqing in Chang'an City. ”

"What did Her Royal Highness the princess say, after the minister returned to Beijing to see His Majesty, it is reasonable to go to meet the prime minister and the imperial doctor, this is the duty of the minister."

Zhang Yuan called himself a subordinate, but in fact, General Wei's position was no less valuable than that of Imperial Doctor.

It's just that the real power of the imperial historian is greater, there are dozens of imperial historians in his hands, and there are more than 100 people above the court, and one-third of them are subordinates of other people.

"That's right, Your Majesty must have told you about choosing a room for you."

Princess Pingyang was confused, if there was no one in the palace, how would she know that Zhang Yuan had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and someone was obviously watching.

"Your Majesty said, and the minister rushed over to thank him.

The minister didn't expect that the minister was fighting thousands of miles away, and Her Royal Highness the princess could still worry about the minister's family affairs. ”

After Zhang Yuan finished saying this, Princess Pingyang's face sank suddenly

"Are you blaming me for being troublesome?"

"The minister doesn't dare, Her Royal Highness the princess has misunderstood the minister."

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said.

"In that case, I will arrange a date as soon as possible, just recently, you are ready to marry the great-granddaughter of the Marquis of Yuwen."

Princess Pingyang and Liu Che both have a great-granddaughter, as if Zhang Yuan is a grandson.

Zhang Yuan had long thought about such a day, and he also told Zhuo Wenjun that if he couldn't resist, he could only accept it.

"The minister doesn't know the situation of the descendants of the Marquis of Yuwen, isn't this a bit fast?"

"Don't worry, I've found someone to calculate, and your eight characters are very compatible.

In addition, His Majesty wants to restore their family's Marquis title, and you will marry the daughter of the first marquis of the Han Dynasty after a while. ”

Emperor Gaozu made a list of meritorious heroes, Xiao He was the first meritorious hero of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, and Princess Pingyang said that Marquis was the first marquis of the Han Dynasty, but it was not too much.

In this way, Zhang Yuan didn't even know his name or age, so he was arranged for a marriage.

"Since Her Royal Highness the princess has everything to worry about for the minister, the minister can only wait at home.

It was getting late, so the minister didn't bother Her Royal Highness the princess, and a family banquet was prepared at home, and the minister retired first. ”

"Wait, take Xiang'er to Xin'anhou Mansion to eat.

The cook of Pingyang Hou Mansion has diarrhea recently, and the food he cooks is not very clean, and Xiang'er is weak and asks him to stay with you in Xin'an Hou Mansion for a few days. ”

"It's not appropriate for the Marquis of Pingyang to live with the minister."

"If I say appropriate, that's appropriate."

Princess Pingyang is so tough, so Zhang Yuan really understands that he is a sweetheart now.

A moment later, Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, the little marquis who was not yet an adult, walked out of the back hall.

"Xin'anhou."

"Let's go."

Cao Xiang has been trained by Princess Pingyang to look like the head of the family.

Looking at the smile on Princess Pingyang's face, Zhang Yuan estimated that Princess Pingyang would not choose to remarry before Cao Xiang grew up.

But if Liu Che or Wang Wan had to marry Princess Pingyang, she would have no choice.

is the most ruthless imperial family, even the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty can't control her fate.

If Princess Pingyang can marry Wei Qing in the future, it will be her luck, because Wei Qing has a long life.

If you are married to a short-lived husband all the time, it is basically impossible to stabilize it.

Out of the door of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, Cao Xiang, who had been tense, relaxed, he still didn't know that there was a group of people hiding in the shadows of the Han who would spy on these high-ranking and powerful people, such as Zhang Yuan.

"Uncle Yuan, my mother won't let me call you that, saying that she will call you Xin'anhou or General Wei in the future."

"Your mother is right, but you can call me uncle when no one is around."

"Why, if she's right, why can she still call you uncle."

"When there are many people, we have to follow the rules, and when there is no one, we can be ourselves."

Zhang Yuan didn't know if Cao Xiang understood, anyway, he thought so.

Arrange the marriage, Ye then, anyway, he is the boss in Xin'anhou Mansion, regardless of whether she is Xiao He's descendant or not, if Zhang Yuan really doesn't like it, he will leave her aside, and no one dares to say any nonsense.
