Facing Liu Mastiff's gaze, the Son of Heaven quickly sobered up, he looked around, but he thought in his heart, is it possible to reject this proposal, even if this proposal will play a good role in local security, he looked at it, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only Guo Jia and Xing Ziang did not speak, these two people are ministers who support the new policy, and it is normal to disagree with this prince who opposes the new policy.

However, Liu Bei, who was on the side, nodded approvingly, and talked with the surrounding courtiers with a smile, you know, he is also a minister who supports the new policy, the ministers of the court and the central government are discussing how to implement this matter, and the discussion is very intense, and the silence of the Son of Heaven for a long time makes the ministers seem to realize something, and the temple is silent for a moment.

Yuan Shao secretly said that it was not good, and looked at Situ Lu Zhi opposite, Lu Zhi was also a little worried, but he was not worried about himself, he was just worried about whether this virtuous prince would be jealous of the Son of Heaven because of the support of hundreds of officials, in this silence, the Son of Heaven suddenly laughed, he got up from his seat, walked to the prince's side, and helped him up.

"The prince can have such a heart for the people, I am very happy!"

"Worthy of being my crown prince!"

As the Son of Heaven spoke, the hundred officials were relieved, and the Son of Heaven looked at them and said, "All the monarchs must work together to handle this matter together!" This is the first government proposed by the crown prince, and it must be done!! ”

"Promise!"

The officials continued to talk, but the Son of Heaven was still smiling, looking at the Liu Mastiff in front of him, he didn't say anything.

In the last moment, the Son of Heaven still calmed down, if he wants to oppose this policy, he only needs to open his mouth, and the ministers dare not say anything more, but, in this way, it hurts the hearts of those old soldiers, and it will also hurt the hearts of the Han army, after all, they will one day, they will also retire from the army and return to their hometown, the Son of Heaven smiled, no matter whether he allows or opposes, Liu Mastiff does not have any losses, and can gain the heart of the army.

Wonderful, wonderful!

At the end of the court meeting, the Son of Heaven returned to the Houde Palace, sat in front of the case, a little sluggish, he closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and then gave an order, let Han Men bring Zhang He, Zhang He came quickly, the Son of Heaven looked for him, there has always been nothing good, after coming, he met the Son of Heaven, stood behind the Son of Heaven, bowed his head, and did not say a word.

"Zhang Gong... In recent years, who has the prince befriended in the two universities? ”

The Son of Heaven asked, Zhang He raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven with some doubts, and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very high prestige in the two universities, and the students are extremely impressed by him, but I have never heard of any friendship between the prince and them, and he has never corresponded. ”

"Hmm... Send more people to Yuan's mansion, what the prince has done, what he says, and what he wants to do, I must know! ”

"Respectfully!"

Zhang He received the order.

After walking out of the palace, Zhang He sighed helplessly, standing at the gate of the palace, the yellow doors around him were afraid, not to mention the rest, hiding his trembling hands in his sleeves, standing for a long time, he returned to his mansion, just returned to the mansion, he let the accompanying embroidered messenger guard the door, not allowed to come in, he went to the study.

When he arrived at the door of the study, Zhang He directly pushed the door open and walked in, this was not his study, it was his eldest son, Zhang Xiong's study, Zhang He sat in the study, scared Zhang Xiong who was reading, and saw that it was his father, Zhang Xiong got up and met him, Zhang He waved his hand and let him sit in front of him.

Zhang Xiong sat in front of Zhang He with some doubts, looked at Zhang He, and with some doubts, Zhang He looked at him and said, "I know that you are close to the prince... However, in the future, you have to stay away a little, you don't have to please and flatter anyone, my title will be yours sooner or later..."

Zhang Xiong is different from his father, he is not tall, and he is good at literature, at this moment, hearing his father's words, his face turned red with anger, he stood up, and said: "Father thinks that I am such a flattering person?" I have been in contact with the prince because of his kindness, and he treats me with courtesy and values me."

"! If you weren't my eldest son, would he do this to you?! ”

"Yes! How do you know that His Royal Highness never treats him differently because of his identity, that is, those disciples of the poor family, the eunuch clan, he can treat each other with courtesy and sincerity, just because I am the eldest son of my father, just because my father is the messenger of embroidery clothes, no one has ever interacted with me, and no one has ever looked down on me, only His Royal Highness, with me as a friend, and now, everyone in Taixue regards me as a friend! Zhang Xiong said angrily.

"Your title, you can give it to Erlang, I'm not rare!"

"You !!" Zhang He raised his hand angrily, but it didn't fall on his face for a long time, he gasped, thought for a long time, sighed and said: "Okay, I don't care who you associate with, but in the future, don't peek at my letter copy, otherwise, I won't talk about the relationship between father and son..."

"Also, tell Your Highness that I am very grateful to him for his birthday gift, and I will not tell Your Majesty, but if he has bad intentions, I will not disappoint Your Majesty! Also, let him pay more attention to his surroundings..."After Zhang He finished speaking, he left the study angrily, leaving Zhang Xiong alone, and muttered to himself with some annoyance, "Your Highness is that kind of thief..."

The next day, in the Tai Academy, the sacrificial wine was lecturing, the prince sat in the middle of the crowd, listened to the sacrificial wine lecture seriously, and took out the pen and ink to record it, the sacrificial wine was very happy, finished the course, and chatted with the prince for a long time, then left, he just left, a group of students around Liu Mastiff, chatted.

"Your Highness.. I heard about the temple yesterday, these old soldiers, no one has ever paid attention, they can meet His Royal Highness such a benevolent and righteous prince, it is really their blessing, when my father comes back, I don't know how happy he is..."A young student recounted, Liu Mastiff looked at him, smiled, and said: "Zhongmou, when your father comes back, you must introduce me to one or two, I have been thinking about this matter!" ”

"Hahaha, naturally, and my eldest brother, my elder brother, extremely brave..."

Liu Mastiff listened, nodded, and thought so.

"Ziheng.... What about your father, or do you not have any letters? ”

"Not yet."

A few people were chatting, Zhang Xiong came up, looked at Liu Mastiff, handed him a book, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, thank you for lending me this book, I read it overnight, I felt a lot, I couldn't help it, I wrote some notes, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me!" Liu Mastiff took the book and said with a smile: "Hey, you can leave Mo Baolai, I should thank Your Excellency, it doesn't have to be like this..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, I heard that the new general Jin Wulu has entered the city, I wonder if you have ever seen him?" Liu Mastiff asked.

One person nodded and said, "I saw it, he came yesterday, and called me to his mansion and handed me a letter, which belongs to my father...", this person is called Dianman, and his father is now stationed in Ningzhou, Dian Wei, Liu Mastiff nodded, and talked with Dianman for a long time, and after a few hours, he returned to the mansion.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Zhuge Liang, he was sitting in the front yard, and Sima Yi was on the side, Zhuge Liang frowned, as if he had something on his mind, Liu Mastiff smiled and went over, met the two, sat down, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Mastiff in front of him, looked at it for a long time, and then asked: "Your Highness, about the old man, has Your Highness ever told the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Huh? Of course I did! Liu Mastiff said with some surprise.

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "Your Highness, don't deceive me, I have already learned that His Highness did not inform the Son of Heaven, but?" ”

"Uncle! How could I lie to you, I really told my father! ”

"Your Highness, if you regard me as close, tell me the truth... As long as Your Highness tells the truth, I will never have any other thoughts, I just hope that Your Highness will tell you the truth! ”

"Uncle, what did I do to make you distrust me so much..."Liu Mastiff stood up, with tears in his eyes, he said: "If my uncle doesn't believe it, I will take my uncle to the Houde Palace!" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Mastiff for a long time, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, Your Highness, I believe it." ”

Sima Yi on the side lowered his head, and when he heard Zhuge Liang look like this, he shook his head and said; "Kong Ming, are you confused by the appearance of the Son of Heaven in the temple? You don't understand, the Son of Heaven is deliberate, His Highness is benevolent and righteous, too close, the Son of Heaven or some... Ahem, he did this on purpose, wanting to damage the reputation of some princes..."Sima Yi said, Zhuge Liang nodded, and accepted this reason.

Sima Yi raised his head and looked at Liu Mastiff, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Mastiff naturally noticed it, he looked at Sima Yi, and said with some annoyance: "Don't say this, my father is my dearest, and he will never be unfavorable to me!" ”

"Your Highness, forgive me, I lost my words..."

The three of them were chatting, but a few old pawns came up, bowed to Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff was shocked, and hurriedly helped them up, they were all a little excited, and could only keep thanking them, Liu Mastiff comforted for a while, and learned from them that they had already found an errand in Luoyang, and even, after the main mother Sima heard about them, she also bought them a house, handled the marriage for them, and helped them start a family.

Liu Mastiff couldn't help but praise: "The master mother is virtuous, and she is very compatible with the master!" ”

While the three of them were talking, Yuan Shang also came, and the four of them chatted together.

"Your Royal Highness, Duke Yuan's wedding, His Royal Highness can't stay in Yuan's Mansion all the time, if the Son of Heaven agrees, he will build another courtyard..."Sima Yi said, Zhuge Liang and Liu Mastiff also nodded, now, he really can't continue to live here, but if he rebuilds the mansion, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will not allow it, in that case, he can only stay in the East Palace, and it will be difficult for these friends to meet.

Liu Mastiff frowned, this is a little difficult.

"Hey! What's so difficult about this, Your Highness, leave this matter to me! Yuan Shang patted his chest and said.

"Oh? What is the clever plan of Xianfu? ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to buy the houses around my uncle, build a mansion, and then open up the courtyard wall between my uncle's mansion and say that it is the courtyard of the Yuan Mansion?"

Yuan Shang said happily, but Zhuge Liang said with some embarrassment: "There are all houses around here, people will sell houses to you like this, we can't oppress others with power..."

Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to give more money!" I will not oppress the people, but give me more money, and they will allow it!" ”

"But, this money..."

"Money is indeed difficult, and I don't have much savings, hey, if I turn over the cabinets, it is estimated that I can only make up more than 200,000 yuan..."

"What's wrong? Too little? If it's not enough, I'll have to sell the land, and I still have it in Runan..."

"Well, no need to say more.... Enough .... We're not trying to build a palace..."

Sima Yi said faintly.
