"They, that's what they said?"

The little fat man asked slowly, he sat comfortably on the chair, closed his eyes, and asked.

Zhang He possessed himself and said: "That's true, Cai Gong said, the matter of education, the stick first, the stick has been applied, it is necessary to give benevolent government, if you blindly commit violence, it is not a good thing, he contacted the old ministers of the court... Prepare to discuss with the court to challenge Cao Jun and others....."

"Hmm... You're doing a good job, continue to monitor, and it's okay to have a hard time, it's just... If you want to contact Sun Jian, Song Yu and others, you can be executed directly, and you don't need to ask my opinion...."The little fat man said.

Zhang He's back was cold, and he arched his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Oh, that's right..."The little fat man opened his eyes, looked at Zhang He, and said: "I heard, Junzixiong, quite your demeanor, young man, tomorrow, let him enter the Yulin as a lang, and wait for the dispatch...."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"It doesn't have to be this way... Zhang Jun is my confidant... I and you, the temple is a monarch and a minister, and on weekdays, I treat it as a friend..."

"Don't dare!"

Zhang He cautiously left the Houde Palace, the words of the Son of Heaven, just listen to it, if he is serious, in private with the Son of Heaven as a friend, I am afraid that he and his son's head will be hung on the city tomorrow, as the chief officer of the embroidered messenger, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, he knows how dangerous his position is, as the Son of Heaven explained, if there is any change, there is no need to ask, directly executed.

Why not ask?

Because the Son of Heaven can't know, and he, the one who knows, is likely to die tragically in front of the ministers, but he has been in this position for so long, and his heart has already been prepared, he knows that even if he dies tragically, his children will still be reused by the Son of Heaven and will inherit his own marquis, if the Son of Heaven is not like this, no minister will dare to sit in his position again.

Watching Zhang He leave, the little fat man didn't say anything for a long time, frowned, took out the paper, pen and ink from under the case, and began to write, he wrote all the names of people, and wrote a whole sheet, he looked at the paper, and kept marking and writing, Han Men stood at the door, lowered his head, no one was allowed to enter, the little fat man was busy for a long time, and then he turned over and covered the paper in his hand.

"Hanmen..."

"Country!"

"I'm going to Yongning Palace..."

The little fat man in front of her looked at the little fat man in front of her, smiled, and gave him a few mouthfuls of food, and said: "Eat more, you are getting thinner and thinner today...", the little fat man smiled, looked at the Empress Dowager Song, pondered for a moment, and said: "Mother, is my grandfather okay?" ”

"It's okay, what's the matter, I miss your grandfather?"

"yes, I'm missing something..."

"Grandma doesn't know, I haven't heard my grandfather's voice for too long... I almost forgot what he looked like..."

Hearing the little fat man say this, Empress Dowager Song was stunned for a moment, slowly frowned, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that he has not gone to the court? ”

"Auntie, don't think about it, my grandfather naturally went to the court, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't get up, so the child forgot a little... Holding the position of Jinwu, supervising the inside and outside of Luoyang, and working for the king, it can be seen that my grandfather is very tired..."

"Emperor..."The Queen Mother frowned, and said with some seriousness: "If you are dissatisfied with your grandfather, you can remove him from his post or punish him for his crimes, you don't have to come to me to say this..."

The little fat man looked at the grandmother in front of him with some consternation, and exclaimed, "What does the grandmother mean?" How dare the child be dissatisfied with his grandfather? ”

"Mother~~~", the little fat man smiled and said: "Mother is wrong to blame the child, no matter what my grandfather is, he is always my dearest... Now in the temple, there are quite disputes between the old and new courtiers, and I am worried that the courtiers will lose harmony and miss state affairs... My grandfather is wise outside, and he is my grandfather, if he can speak a word or two in the temple, it is also a good deed..."

After talking for a while, a palace maid walked in with Xiao Raoyang in her arms, Xiao Raoyang was in the arms of the palace maid, yawning comfortably, seeing the little fat man present, his eyes lit up, and his whole body stretched out towards him, and he shouted in a milky voice: "Father, hug!" Embrace! ”

The little fat man laughed, got up, hugged the little guy in his arms, stretched out his hand, pinched her round little face, and said, "Ruobing, it's wrong!" It's not my father, it's my eldest brother! ”

"Father!"

"It's the eldest brother!"

"Father!"

"Elder brother!"

"Wow~~~~~"

"Alright, alright, it's Father!"

The little princess stopped crying, laughed, arched in the arms of the little fat man, and kept chattering about her father, the little fat man smiled helplessly, looked at the Empress Dowager Song, and said: "Compared to my father, I have lost so much weight, why can't I tell the difference?" ”

Empress Song glanced at him and said nothing.

"Go, go, my good girl, I'll take you to play!" , The little fat man has already explained, so he left the Yongning Palace with the little guy, he took the little guy and came to the Yongci Palace where the queen was, just walked in, and saw that Queen Cai led everyone to wait, the little fat man teased the little princess in his arms, pointed to Queen Cai, and said: "It's called Mother!" ”

The little princess bit her fingers, thought for a long time, and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law! ”

"Uh-huh???"

"Did you do this on purpose??"

"Wow~~~"

"Alright, alright, you didn't mean to."

Queen Cai smiled and took the little princess from his arms, in the queen's arms, the little guy became very well-behaved, smiling stupidly, just now, she was still pulling the short beard of the little fat man! The little fat man complained a little about this, she could obviously recognize Queen Cai as her sister-in-law, but she couldn't recognize herself! This is clearly intentional!

While chatting, Han Men walked in, and the little fat man turned his head and looked at him.

"Country, the Queen Mother left the palace and went to the Song Mansion... said that he wanted to visit the second elder of the family...."

"Oh...."The little fat man smiled.

"Huh? Why don't you just pick up your grandfather and them, and go there in person? The queen asked a little puzzled, and the little fat man said with a smile: "Grandpa is so busy, I can't bear to make him tired..."

Looking at the queen who was teasing the little guy, the little fat man watched for a long time, after entering the palace, the queen gradually matured, and she was even more beautiful, the little fat man was often fascinated, he smiled stupidly, and said: "I don't know when, you can also give birth to a son for me..."

Empress Cai gave him a blank look, hugged the little guy, turned her head, and ignored him.

When the Son of Heaven returned to his Houde Palace, it was already evening, the little fat man sat on the Hu chair, closed his eyes and pondered, the battles that occurred in the temple now were naturally from his arrangement, the temple in the past, after the strong period of Emperor Xiaokang, so it became extremely calm, like a pool of stagnant water, without any vitality at all.

The ministers rarely debated on policy, and they were about to become the first words of those old ministers.

Such a situation, in the period of Emperor Xiaokang, may be good, Emperor Xiaokang tried to prosper, what is needed is a minister who can be completely obedient and will not hinder innovation, but in the year of Xiping, there have been some changes, when today, young and vigorous, the heart is full of great causes, not to mention that after Emperor Xiaokang Jianning Zhongxing, now the situation of the Han Dynasty has also stabilized.

He hoped for a vibrant, star-studded temple instead of a dead one.

In addition, these old ministers, in the position of the three dukes, their prestige is too high, as an old man who has followed Emperor Xiaokang, the relationship with many generals in the army is also close, and the Son of Heaven can not be said to be jealous, but he hopes that there will not be too many old ministers in the court, pointing fingers at their own affairs, and his original intention was to let Yuan Feng and a few people leave the temple.

But they can't let Cao Cao take their place, because the court can't dominate one side, like Cui Wei, he can stay in Situ's position, because he won't oppose his own decree, he is too old, he is muddy all day long, and when he is not sober, the court is called useless Situ, but his prestige and qualifications can completely crush Cao Cao and other ministers.

In addition, he also wanted to support Song Yu and Lu Zhi to take the position, but he didn't expect that Cai Yong would behave so strongly.

Cai Yong is the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven cannot force him away like Wang Yun and Zheng Xuan.

However, this is not a good thing, as long as Song Yu can come forward and reconcile, so that the forces of the two sides are in a balance, he will be considered to have completed his original purpose.

Xiping three years, January month

Zhang Taiwei finally led the king of Fuyu, Liu Mo and others returned to Luoyang.

And the temple canonization of Goguryeo and Buyeo has also been sent to the locality, the king of Buyeo rested for a few days, and then rushed to the palace, on the way, he still seemed a little worried, and kept asking: "The Son of Heaven will not let Liu envoy go to Buyeo as a minister?" Zhang Wen thought about it carefully, it was really possible, among the ministers, only he could understand Fuyu language.

However, he was afraid of scaring King Buyeo, so he shook his head and said, "Probably not..."

King Fuyu nodded, believing his words for the time being, Liu Mo followed behind them, chatting cordially with Zhao Wen, the great Honglu who came to greet him, Zhao Wen is a humble gentleman, he listened to Liu Mo's words carefully, and there was nothing to worry about, Liu Mo smiled and chatted with him, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the second son of Zhao Gong is Changshan Taishou Zhao Dao... I don't know if you can know Sima Zhao Yun under the command of General Tai Shici? ”

Zhao Wen was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "But Zilong? If so, it is the grandson of the distant clan...."

Tai Shi Ci once led troops into Donghao, and the pioneer was that person, Liu Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, and chatted with him about Donghao.

This time, Liu Mo came to serve as a translator.

Zhao Wen led them into the palace, the Son of Heaven personally invited the king of Buyeo, which was also an honor for the king of Buyeo, the king of Buyeo walked into the palace, on the way, he witnessed the strength of the Han Dynasty, came to Luoyang, also a little numb, and did not lose his temper in the palace, into the hall, he saw the one sitting on the top ... The burly Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven looks very solemn.

"Meet the Son of Heaven!"

King Fuyu said, and Liu Mo began to translate on the side.

The Son of Heaven naturally praised the sincerity of King Fuyu, and gave him some rewards, so that he could come to the court tomorrow to meet with the ministers in the court meeting, and when he left, Liu Mo and Taiwei were left in the hall, the Son of Heaven looked at Liu Mo and said: "This time Liu Jun has high merit, I have my own reward, I can retreat first..."

Liu Mo was grateful again and again, and then left.

"Your Majesty... The minister does not disgrace the mission, Goguryeo, Buyeo... has entered my big Han, and since then, Xin, He, You, and Han have no external troubles... The temple can also be at ease.." Zhang Wen arched his hand and said.

"Good, great good!" The Son of Heaven laughed, as the territory of the empire increases, the expenses of the new army on the border are also getting bigger and bigger, and the vast majority of the temple's expenditures are now used in the military, which is also the main purpose of the ministers' request for disarmament, although the Son of Heaven has great ambitions in his heart, he is also unwilling to spend a lot of national strength on these border soldiers, if these money are used on the northern and southern armies, the Han does not know that he can add tens of thousands of elite combat power!

"In the opinion of the captain, this eastern soldier...."

"Your Majesty, in the East, only one Dong Zhuo can be left, and Huangfu Song and Lu Bu can return to the dynasty to repair and be incorporated into the Northern and Southern Army."

"As for the soldiers, Your Majesty must have forgotten... What Situ said earlier..."

Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"Huh?" The Son of Heaven frowned, Situ Cuiyu? Cui Wei was in the temple, he looked unconscious, what did he say? The Son of Heaven thought about it seriously, was taken aback, and said, "Take the soldiers as the military canton!" ”

"Not bad." Zhang Wen said.

The Son of Heaven frowned, a few months ago, when Cao Cao proposed the innovation of Nongtun, Situ had spoken, hoping that the Son of Heaven would be able to turn the garrison into a military tun, not the kind of half-army and half-peasant, but directly become a full-time military tun, based on farming.

They all just thought that this was Situ Gong's desire to establish his prestige, and they all agreed to the political opinions he had just proposed.

However, when Goguryeo and Buyeo were completely destroyed, Situ Gong's political opinion made the Han Dynasty appear in the northeast region of nearly 100,000 farmers, the peasants are attached to their homeland, if the temple wants to force them to go to the north and south to cultivate, obviously they will not agree, but if in the name of soldiers, let the people serve, reclaim the border land for three years, and continue for another one or two decades...

The Son of Heaven took a breath of cold air.

Whether it is the northeast or the southwest, or the northwest, those places where the people are unwilling to go, and even the criminals want to escape, can use the name of the border to mobilize the people to carry out the tuntian, for two or three years, the people can not resist, three years to replace a group of people, and continue to reclaim the desolate areas, which is more outstanding than Cao Cao's more than a dozen decrees!!

Thinking of Situ who was confused on weekdays and closed his eyes all day long, the Son of Heaven trembled in his heart, this person... It must not be taken lightly, if it is a coincidence, but if all this was expected by Situ earlier and proposed first, then Cui Gong, who is known as the useless Situ, obviously surpassed the ministers countless times in terms of vision, so that the ministers did not react.

Could it be that Zhang Wen already knew?

The Son of Heaven looked at Zhang Wen on the side, Zhang Wen seemed to know what the Son of Heaven was thinking, Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the late prince, in the past in the temple, has never served anyone, even He Zi, Wen Rengong and the like, he is only called to be able to be my friend, but, only one person, he will back down when he meets on the road, and never talk...."

"Cui Gong?"

The Son of Heaven asked uncertainly, but the white-haired old man who was sick, confused all day long, and wrote essays appeared in his mind.

"Exactly." Zhang Wen replied.

At this time, the Son of Heaven remembered Guo Jia's words in the past.

"Shijun said, those who can understand "The Theory of Hidden Husbands" are one and a half."

"That person is Cui Gong."

The Son of Heaven stood up abruptly and shouted, "Swing, I'm going to Situ Mansion!" ”
