Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xuan was jealous of Liu Xiu's continuous expansion in Hebei, and he summoned his confidant Zhao Meng to discuss with him, intending to cut off Liu Xiu's marquis title, remove Liu Xiu's official position, and recall him to Chang'an to resume his life.

Zhao Meng immediately raised objections. He was not inclined to Liu Xiu, but felt that it was impossible for Liu Xuan to recall Liu Xiu now.

At present, Liu Xiu has an army of more than 100,000 people, strong soldiers and horses, and has the support of Shanggu, Yuyang, Zhongshan, Zhending and other counties.

Now if you want to cut off Liu Xiu's title, remove Liu Xiu's official position, and recall him back to Chang'an, it is too late, if you really do this, the biggest possibility is to force Liu Xiu directly to rebel.

After listening to Zhao Meng's analysis, Liu Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, if Liu Xiu was the opposite, he wouldn't even have a means to deal with it, after all, Hebei was not his territory, and he was currently in Hebei, and there was only one cronie like Xie Gong.

Liu Xuan swallowed his saliva and asked, "So, what about Aiqing's opinion?" ”

Zhao Meng smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is now treating Liu Xiu, not only can you not cut the knight and dismiss the official, but you must focus on appeasement, supplemented by Huairou, so that Liu Xiu will unconsciously let down his guard, and then His Majesty will give Liu Xiu a salary from the bottom of the kettle." ”

Liu Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, he poked his head forward, and asked urgently: "Aiqing has any good ideas, let's talk about it in detail!" ”

Zhao Meng said: "Liu Xiu has a merit in killing Wang Lang, and His Majesty should be rewarded!" ”

Liu Xuan was silent for a moment and asked, "Aiqing thinks, how can I be rewarded?" ”

Zhao Meng Zhengse said: "Your Majesty can give Liu Xiu the king!" ”

Liu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said in surprise: "Feng Wang? ”

Zhao Meng said with a smile: "Only the king, no fief, it's just an empty title, for Your Majesty, there is no loss, doing this, but it also shows that Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, and the duke is selfless." ”

Liu Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

Zhao Meng continued: "At the same time, Your Majesty can be transferred to Zhao Yong, the county guard, to serve in Chang'an. ”

"Oh?" Liu Xuan looked at Zhao Meng puzzled. Zhao Meng said: "The army of more than 100,000 under Liu Xiu's command, although the main force is the Zhending army, but the elite is the Youzhou army, it can be said that the Shanggu and Yuyang two counties that have always supported Liu Xiu are the largest capital that Liu Xiu currently has." If His Majesty directly moves Youzhou

The two counties of Shanggu and Yuyang will definitely arouse Liu Xiu's vigilance, and His Majesty can retreat to the next best and move the county first. Daijun is adjacent to Shanggu, and if His Majesty obtains Daijun, he can pose a direct threat to Shanggu County, one of Liu Xiu's foundations. Liu Xuan felt that his head was a little insufficient, and he couldn't fully understand Zhao Meng's words, but he instinctively felt that it made sense. Zhao Meng continued: "Your Majesty's acquisition of Daijun is only the first step in drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and then it can be implemented

The second step is to appoint a Youzhou pastor who is loyal to His Majesty to be in charge of the soldiers and horses of the princes of Youzhou, and completely cut off the connection between Liu Xiu and Youzhou. After completing this step, His Majesty can implement the third step and take action against Zhongshan, Zhending and other places. ”

Speaking of this, he said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, Liu Xiu is different from Liu Xiu back then, if Your Majesty wants to deal with Liu Xiu, you have to take your time step by step, don't be in a hurry!" Although Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu are both in charge of the army, Liu Xuan has no base of his own, or under Liu Xuan's nose, plus Liu Xuan is unsuspecting to Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan's own character is also arrogant, these factors add together,

led to Liu Xuanneng successfully killing Liu Xuan. But Liu Xiu is different, he now has his own foundation, and he is far away in Hebei, and the imperial court whip is beyond his reach, not to mention that Liu Xiu's character is much more cautious than Liu Xiu, and he is more popular, Liu Xuan wants to use the set to get rid of Liu Xiu, and then copy it to Liu Xiu

There is no possibility of success at all.

After listening to Zhao Meng's 'three steps', Liu Xuan nodded again and again, feeling that Zhao Meng was reasonable. He replied, "Good! This matter is in Aiqing's opinion! ”

Zhao Meng rolled his eyes and said: "At the same time that Your Majesty is crowned king, you can also test Liu Xiu, summon him back to Chang'an, and let him temporarily hand over the military power under his command to Xie Shangshu." ”

Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Liu Xiuhui agrees?" Zhao Meng shook his head and said happily: "Liu Xiu agrees, it is naturally the best, Your Majesty can save a lot of trouble, Liu Xiu will not agree, it doesn't matter, Your Majesty can follow Weichen's plan, implement it step by step, and at the same time, let Liu Xiu carry it."

The reputation of disobedience to the decree is beneficial to His Majesty. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Xuan nodded again and again while listening, and when Zhao Meng finished speaking, he stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "Aiqing's plan is very good!" ”

Zhao Meng has a cute name in his name, and his name sounds very cute, but his personality has nothing to do with cuteness. Zhao Meng is vicious and narrow-minded, and he will repay him.

Because he is Liu Xuan's father-in-law, he is the national father-in-law, and Liu Xuan does trust him, Zhao Meng is lawless and domineering.

In the past, Lang Zhong impeached Zhao Meng, saying that Zhao Meng's behavior was indulgent, and after Liu Xuan heard it, he was furious, pulled out his sword on the spot, and used the saber to hit Lang Zhong, who impeached Zhao Meng.

Lang Zhong is not a petty official, in modern terms, it is a collection of the Son of Heaven's bodyguards, secretaries, advisers, and retinues, who can advise the Son of Heaven anytime and anywhere, supervise hundreds of officials, and impeach ministers.

But Lang Zhong said that Zhao Meng was not, Liu Xuan could draw his sword and attack him on the spot, which shows how much Liu Xuan favored Zhao Meng.

And that's not the end of it. Zhao Meng knew that Lang Zhong impeached himself, he was furious, and he held a grudge, and when he was in the court the next morning, Zhao Meng was above the court, grabbed Lang Zhong's clothes and walked out, and when he arrived outside the hall, he drew his sword to kill.

This situation stunned the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and frightened them stupidly. Liu Xuan also came forward to dissuade Zhao Meng, but Zhao Meng didn't listen to Liu Xuan at all, and in front of Liu Xuan, he drew his sword and killed the Lang Zhong.

After that, Liu Xuan did not punish Zhao Meng in any way, and the matter was over.

Zhao Meng is now arrogant to this point in the Imperial Court, and Liu Xuan is also deliberately indulgent, which makes Zhao Meng even more lawless.

It should also be mentioned here by the way that Liu Xuan at this time has already controlled great real power and is no longer a puppet emperor in the hands of the Green Forest Department.

Relatively speaking, the people of the Green Forest Department are all unambitious and do not have much ambition, even when the Green Forest Department is at its most prosperous and has the greatest power in their hands, they have never thought of usurping the throne and replacing Liu Xuan.

As long as they are given a certain amount of power, let them have a noble identity and status, and let them live a stable and comfortable life, the people of the Green Forest Department will be very content.

The ambition of the green forest department gave Liu Xuan the opportunity to control the real power.

In the court, Liu Xuan used a large number of henchmen who were loyal to him, such as Zhao Meng, Xie Bow, etc., all of whom were pulled up by him, and the people in the Green Forest Department did not bother about this.

As long as Liu Xuan doesn't provoke them and doesn't damage their vital interests, Liu Xuan can do whatever he likes, and they have a blind and closed attitude towards Liu Xuan.

This is the current situation of the Imperial Court, Liu Xuan's ability to govern the world is not as good as Wang Mang.

Wang Mang has been in power for more than ten years, and there has really never been a powerful minister in the court who covers the sky with one hand, and Liu Xuan is good, only one year after ascending the throne, Zhao Meng has appeared in the court, such a ruthless and powerful relative of the government and the opposition.

Liu Xuan adopted Zhao Meng's advice and sent an edict to Zhao Yong, the Taishou of Daijun, and transferred him to Chang'an.

Zhao Yong was transferred to Chang'an, just like a local official, he was transferred to the central government, so he was naturally promoted, and Zhao Yong was also very happy after receiving Liu Xuan's edict, and he still held a banquet in the mansion that day.

Books on both sides.

Let's talk about Wang Lang, after Liu Xiujun and Xie Gongjun both invaded Handan, Wang Lang only took one of his favorite concubines, fled from Handan in a hurry, and fled all the way south.

Wang Lang planned to flee to Wei County. Wei County is vast and sparsely populated, as long as you find a deserted place and hide for a year and a half, it will not be a problem.

But not long after they left Handan, the guards sent by Liu Jie did not leave and wanted to return to Handan to resume their lives.

The order they received was to escort Wang Lang out of Handan, and when he arrived outside Handan, he was out of danger, and the rest of the matter was not under their control.

You must know that the palace guards who escaped with Wang Lang are not very many, only about two hundred, and the rest of the five or six hundred guards are all people sent by Liu Jie.

If these people leave, there are only about 200 people left around them, not to mention that once Liu Xiu and Xie Gong catch up, they will definitely die, even if they encounter thieves, they are afraid that they will be more than lucky.

Wang Lang said to the leading generals: "General Zhong, can't you go back to Handan now, at least escort me to Wei County before leaving!" ”

The official surnamed Zhong is named Zhong Sheng, and he bowed his hand to Wang Lang and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are on the order of the King of Guangyang to escort Your Majesty out of the city, and now Your Majesty has left Handan safely, and we should also return to Handan and return to the King of Guangyang!" ”

Wang Lang didn't know that Liu Lin and Liu Jie had taken refuge in Liu Xiu, and that the Han army was able to invade Handan, but it was the two of them who were secretly playing ghosts.

He said with a straight face: "Liu Xiujun and Xie Gongjun are menacing, and the king of Guangyang is in the city, and it is difficult to support it alone, is it ...... now?"

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious, whether Liu Jie was still alive or not now said twice, who will you go to find to recover your life when you go back?

Zhong Sheng Zhengse said: "The ministers are deeply favored by the king of Guangyang, the king of Guangyang is here, we will be there, if the king of Guangyang is unfortunately killed, we should go to Huangquan with the king of Guangyang!" ”

When Wang Lang heard this, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, why could Liu Jie have such loyal subordinates, but he didn't?

He sighed and said, "You wait to escort me to Wei County first, and after you arrive in Wei County, it will not be too late for you to return to Handan, as long as I can successfully reach Wei County, I will reward you and others." ”

"This ......" Zhong Sheng hesitated, looked at each other with his subordinates, and finally people's eyes fell on the carriage of the carriage.

In the carriage, except for Wang Lang's favorite concubine, there is no long thing, and Wang Lang's current promise is just a blank check to put it bluntly.

Zhong Sheng pondered for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Please forgive your majesty, I still have to return to Handan immediately!" ”

Wang Lang saw that Zhong Sheng and the others were already moved, but he didn't see that he was carrying money, so he thought he was coaxing them.

He smiled leisurely and said, "If you go further, you will go to Baiqu, and when you get to Baiqu, I will naturally reward you." ”

"This ......"

"What? General Zhong doesn't believe me? No jokes! Since I said that Baiqu will give you a reward, I will never break my word! ”

Zhong Sheng looked at his subordinates again, then bowed down and said, "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

Wang Lang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and returned to the carriage.

Under Wang Lang's heavy promise, Zhong Sheng and the others did not abandon Wang Lang and escorted him to continue south. When it was dawn, the group finally arrived at Baiqu. Baiqu is a river, and there are many mountains and forests nearby. Under the guidance of Wang Lang, the team walked into a large area of mountains and forests.
