Chapter 0513: Grandfather and Grandson Meet
The Son of Heaven's anger gradually subsided, he waved his hand and said, "Take him back to rest..."
Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, the guards stepped forward and helped Cai Yong to leave, perhaps because he was pressed by Zhang Fei for too long just now, Cai Yong fainted, and he was still not seriously injured, watching him being taken down, the ministers looked at each other, but they didn't know how to speak, Zhang Fei also returned to his position, and did not forget to thank the Son of Heaven for his generosity.
"Your Majesty..."Lu Zhi couldn't sit still, he stood up, even though he knew in his heart that the Son of Heaven must still be angry in his heart, but as Situ, he couldn't shirk it, he took out the Northwest Concert and read it aloud, what he read was the trauma suffered by the Northwest Region due to the war, the Son of Heaven frowned tightly and sat on the top seat.
How did he not know the huge impact of the war, but at this time, he could not retreat, as long as he could capture Sogdia, defeat Kushan, and force Kushan to give up here, the future promotion of the Han would be enough to offset the current losses, and after capturing Sogdia, the gateway of the Han Dynasty would expand from the Western Regions to the west, and he could directly bypass the Kushan and trade with foreign states other than the Kushan.
And this can also limit the threat of Guishan to the Han Dynasty on a large scale, Guishan wants to advance eastward, only the Sogdian region can pass, and then north has to pass through Kangju, Kangju as a big country in the Western Regions, Guishan is difficult to conquer with just a few fiefdoms, occupying Sogdia, retreating can be defended, advancing can be attacked, as long as the plan is finally successful, it is a great achievement that has been passed down through the ages!
I, Emperor Xiaowu, that's it.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo has already defeated the Sogdian soldiers, and next, as long as he can hold this place, force back the reinforcements of Guishan, govern this place, and reclaim it, by next year, the army can be self-sufficient, and the pressure on the northwest region will be reduced.
"The war is over, you don't need to say much, in a few days, the captain will lead the army and return to the temple..."
Hearing the Son of Heaven say this, the ministers don't know how to speak, the war is over, obviously this is just the Son of Heaven's own statement, if the war is over, there is no need for the temple to be transported to the distance frequently with the weight of the war, however, the Son of Heaven spoke, and the ministers can no longer continue to persuade each other, they can only wait for a while, and the ministers do not continue to talk about the war, and they have played the rest of the things.
"Your Majesty, the people of the northwest used to obey the call of the temple, a variety of cotton, herbs, tea, etc., but now there are no foreign businessmen, which makes the people lose a lot, and please ask Your Majesty to order the local government to buy the people's things, and give the people a way to live at an average price!" , Lu Zhi opened his mouth and said, since he can't persuade His Majesty to change his mind, he will do his best to reduce the damage caused by the war.
The Son of Heaven agreed, and Lu Zhi was put in charge of the matter.
"Your Majesty, Donghao urgently, in April, the sea near Donghao is boiling, and there are long bearded big fish jumping out, this is a vision that has never been seen, and the minister thinks that it should be Donghao pondering the reason for Liu Gong, hoping to pursue the seal, in order to remember the merits of Liu Gong."
The Son of Heaven once again agreed and asked Guo Jia to take charge of the matter.
"Your Majesty, the time of scientific merit is approaching in Luoyang, and Zhijinwu is far away in the Western Regions, which is indispensable..."
Dong Zhuo went out as a hussar general, and also took away many capable generals in the Jinwu battalion, so some people in the court were worried about the scientific merit assessment.
The Son of Heaven thought about it and said, "Ling Huaixianghou, protect Lu Bu, return to the temple..."
"Respectfully!"
The ministers thought in their hearts, the Son of Heaven is afraid that he has already had a candidate, Dong Zhuo's expedition, as long as he does not die on the battlefield, or the whole army is annihilated, this Taiwei must be his, Jia Xu may be sent to the northwest region, I heard that the Son of Heaven intends to set up a state in the Western Regions, and the vacancy of Jinwu seems to be held by Zhonglang General Lu Bu, in fact, Lu Bu is not the most suitable candidate in everyone's hearts.
Originally, the most recognized by the ministers in their hearts was still Huang Fu Song, who was the same as Lu Bu, but Huang Fu Song was too old, and now he has retired to his hometown, and among the rest of the candidates, only Lu Bu is the most suitable, he has enough military achievements, brave and strategic, and his eloquence is unparalleled, it is said that he is still a well-read Confucian general, in addition, he is also half a hundred years old, and he will not be as impulsive as the rest of the young generals, mature and steady, and have enough qualifications.
After the ministers finished playing, the Son of Heaven asked:
"I want to make my eldest son Mastiff the crown prince, I don't know what the monarchs want?"
After the Son of Heaven finished speaking, the ministers were in an uproar, and ministers like Lu Zhi almost jumped up in joy, it seems that the ministers in the court and the central government all recognized Liu Mastiff, and most of them were overjoyed and extremely happy.
"Great goodness!!"
Listening to the flattery of the ministers, the Son of Heaven smiled, looked at Lu Zhi again, and said: "I want to canonize the crown prince first, and then deal with the withdrawal of the army, I don't know what Duke Lu thinks?" β
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Respectfully! But I can't help but praise the means of the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness said goodbye to him earlier, and went to the palace, so far has not appeared, obviously, the canonization of the matter, the Son of Heaven has thought about it a long time ago, and recently, but through the canonization in exchange for peace, the meaning of the Son of Heaven is very clear, the prince you like, I canonized as the prince, so, don't worry about me every day, talk about the withdrawal of the army!!
When the joy of the ministers passed, the Son of Heaven talked about the prince's proposal again, this time, he did not directly put the prince on his head, originally, when the prince proposed to appease the old pawn, the Son of Heaven directly said his own thoughts, and won the love of countless soldiers, as for today, he can't act like this, the prince is just established, he also needs fame to protect himself.
"The prince's words, the local officials are suffering, there is no teacher to solve the doubts, I want to go to the place with the students of the school...", said, and told the ministers what Liu Mastiff said, this matter, whether it is for the students, or for the place, there is great benefit, Lu Zhi in advance, also informed the ministers, let them agree to this matter, after the Son of Heaven mentioned, the ministers immediately agreed, and continued to praise the prince's benevolence and righteousness.
At the end of the court meeting, the ministers dispersed.
Liu Mastiff, who was in the palace, still didn't know these things, sitting in the study, his hair was scattered, his eyes were red and swollen, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days, the whole person looked extraordinarily decadent, the Book of Heaven made him almost collapse, unlike the kings of the previous two generations, when they saw the Book of Heaven, they didn't have such a big feeling about the characters recorded in the Book of Heaven, after all, they didn't know each other.
Emperor Xiaokang is like this, he only met He Zi, Xing Ziang, Zhang He, He Zi, who has the best relationship, and there is no inappropriate behavior in the book, therefore, he does not have so many thoughts in his heart, only a deep sense of crisis, so that he does not dare to relax for a moment, when today, growing up in the palace, when he comes into contact with the Book of Heaven, at the same time, he does not have too much contact with the characters on the Book of Heaven.
Liu Mastiff is different, he is with Shijun all day long, and Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others are friends, today I suddenly saw that Shijun rebelled, self-established as the emperor, the great rebellion, Zhongda rebelled, self-established as the emperor, the great rebellion, Dong Gong rebelled, self-reliance as the prime minister, abolished the father, the great rebellion, Huaxiong was the tiger, was beheaded by Sun Jian, Sun Jian's youngest son also became the emperor.
And this little son, I even know him, he is in Taixue, he has a good relationship with himself, and he is called Sun Quan!!
The people around him, the friends he has a deep relationship with, and the master who he regards as his father, seem to have become so strange in an instant, if Ye Ye has not obtained this book of heaven, then, will these become real? Dong Gong, the old man who laughed so kindly, would really kill his father, support his uncle, and do evil? ?
A minister like Cao Cao, who is dedicated to the country and is committed to the new policy, will really be in charge of the temple with power over the world?
Shijun, also want to be the emperor? Zhongda, the same?
He suddenly understood in his heart, why does the world say that Ye Ye and his father have the talent to know people, and relying on this book of heaven, they can naturally distinguish talented people, but the mediocre master in the book of heaven, Yuan Gong, has not all become the mainstay of the court?
There was incomparably confusion in his mind, Liu Mastiff covered his forehead, his eyes closed, and his face was full of pain.
Someone pushed the door open and walked in.
"Father??"
Liu Mastiff asked a little suspiciously, the person who came in was a little similar to his father, but a little different, he looked a little more bloated than his father, but his face was similar to his father, he smiled, walked to Liu Mastiff's side, sat down, stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Mastiff's shoulder, and asked, "What are you afraid of?" β
"Who are you?? Why are you here?? Liu Mastiff asked vigilantly.
"Don't be afraid, childβ" The fat man stroked his head and said, "Did the Book of Heaven scare you?" β
"I... I don't know, Shijun, how can he be a thief... Why did he betray?? β
"Yuan Shu, that kid? Hahaha, when did he rebel? Isn't he studying in his own mansion? β
"But, on this day..."
"This letter of heaven is not used to make you suspicious of ministers and condemn them, but to let you know the fate of not being diligent... Let you learn the way of being a king in the book..."
"Mastiff...."The fat man looked at Liu Mastiff kindly, stretched out his hand, and hugged him in his arms.
"Haha, boy, look at your skinny skinny, eat more meat!!"
"yes... Yay!! Liu Mastiff woke up.
There was no one around, he just sat in front of the case, had a dream, when he reacted, sighed, looked at the case, he was shocked, what about the book of heaven???
When he raised his head, he saw the Son of Heaven in front of him.
The Son of Heaven sat in front of him, holding the Book of Heaven in his hand, looked at him, and asked, "Did you dream of you?" β
Liu Mastiff's face gradually calmed down and returned to his original appearance.
"Yes."
"He didn't scold me??"
"No, he just told his sons, don't be afraid..."
"Also, he told me to eat more meat."
"Hahaha!" The Son of Heaven laughed.
Liu Mastiff also laughed, and his posture revealed the majesty of the superior.
