Han Yang stood quietly to the side and watched Zhang Yue finish the bowl of meat soup.

Then he began to pack up the table, and his graceful and beautiful posture was full of beauty like the azaleas in this autumn.

But Zhang Yue seemed to turn a blind eye.

It's not that Han Yang isn't beautiful enough!

In fact, Han Yang, who is eighteen years old this year, looks soft and weak, has a brittle little face, a slender figure, and a perfect head-to-body ratio.

Coupled with the fact that she was born into a famous family, she received a strict and orthodox lady's education from an early age.

A smile and a cheek all have a heart-warming temperament.

Moreover, she is also very smart.

Talking and doing things is always just right.

There is no such thing as the temper and pampered appearance of the aristocratic lady that Zhang Yue once thought.

He is quite transparent.

She is indeed a beautiful and cute woman, but also very sensible, intelligent and transparent.

However......

She is Han Shuo's daughter, and she is also a concubine.

The old Han family has deep-rooted relationships and intricate connections in both the political arena and the military.

It's not a good thing to be too close to the Han family!

Not only because of Han, but also because of the huge and complex network of relatives and friends that the Han family has survived over the past hundred years.

Zhang Yue knew very well that if he got too close to the Han family.

Even has a nominal relative, then the ghost knows how many people in the county and country of the world are going to emerge with his flag and fake tigers.

Therefore, even if Han Yang looks like he is picking.

Zhang Yue is also like Liu Xia Hui's possession, sitting still, and only maintaining normal contact with her, and never crossing the half-point.

This made Han Yang a little puzzled, and even inferior.

However, she is a strong girl who is used to burying things, grievances, and other negative emotions in her heart, and always showing a smile on her face.

Even back then, Han said that she made a marriage contract for her, and the marriage partner was a notorious gentleman in the entire Chang'an, and the Wei family's son-in-law Wei Yannian, she didn't say a word, but seemed to be very happy.

Only her brother knew that she cried quietly in her boudoir every day.

But when you go outside, you must be a calm, dignified, and generous lady.

So, it's the same today.

Seeing Zhang Yue's expression, she obediently packed up her things, bowed to Yingying, and then went out with dishes and chopsticks.

Zhang Yue looked at her graceful figure and disappeared from sight, and finally showed some tangled looks on her face.

For Han Yang, Zhang Yue does have a headache.

It seems that no matter what choice you make, you are wrong.

Frowning slightly, Zhang Yue sighed: "Take a step, count it as a step......"

Thinking of Han Yang, Zhang Yue remembered another piece of news brought by Guo Ying - he may be about to become a father.

The news from Nanling indicates that Jin Shaofu may give birth at any time.

This made Zhang Yue really a little excited.

For any Chinese, having a future is a top priority!

Especially in today's society, ministers with and without heirs are treated differently in society and in the court.

The former will be sought after and will get countless followers.

And the latter, no matter how powerful it is, will not have too much leg hair to cling to.

Because, having a future minister and magnate means that it may become a long-term dependent.

And not a lonely person like a shooting star.

Now, Zhang Yue has returned triumphantly, just after that, whether it is public opinion or powerful ministers, this is a good omen, and it is an obvious signal.

Therefore, Zhang Yue also thought of the name of the soon-to-be-born heir, and asked Guo Ying to bring it back.

If it is a boy, it will be called Zhang Ge, and it will be taken from what the king of Chuzhuang said: Wen, the meaning of stopping Ge with force.

If it is a girl, it is called Zhang Xuan, which is purely good-sounding, and it also contains Zhang Yue's expectation that she can do whatever she wants in the future and grow freely and savagely.

………………………………

A few days later, Guo Ying returned to Chang'an with Zhang Yue's reply and informed Zhang Anshi of the results.

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately laughed: "Zizhong, you really have a quick wit!" ”

Take money to buy people......

It's really a blind spot that no one has thought of before.

And, it's really operable.

It's just that......

"Zhang Shizhong, do you have anything else to ask you to bring back?" Zhang Anshi asked.

Guo Ying bowed and said: "Back to the lord, except for the letter and this matter, the servant has nothing else to say......

"Oh......" Zhang Anshi's eyes darkened slightly, picked up the letter, and said to Guo Ying: "You go down to rest first......

Guo Ying bowed again, then got up and retreated.

Zhang Anshi stood up, with some doubts in his eyes, some apprehension, and even more uneasiness.

Because, he didn't know, once that virtuous brother returned to Beijing, what would he do?

Even, he didn't even know anything about the other party's attitude.

That's a bit dangerous!

In the past few days, as the triumphant army has been approaching Guanzhong, stories about the expedition have also spread in Chang'an and the entire Guanzhong.

Zhang Chiyou's use of Xiongnu nobles in exchange for Han subjects has become a hot point of public opinion, attracting countless people to participate.

From the imperial court to the market, and even the countryside, almost no one does not talk about it, and no one cares.

The supporters were inexplicably excited, very excited.

In Chang'an City alone, for several days, there were families of Han subjects who had been taken away, captured and detained by the Huns, and spontaneously came to the north of Weiyang Palace to thank the Son of Heaven.

And every time they appeared, countless people watched.

Now, the Ram and other modern literary schools have unabashedly compared this matter with Zilu's drowning of cattle.

And the opponents are equally excited.

From attacking, questioning whether Zhang Zizhong is qualified and powerful, negotiating with the Xiongnu, and even whether he has the right to decide to exchange prisoners with the Xiongnu, he has been developing a three-way attack.

Directly spread rumors, slander and arrange Zhang Zizhong's love for vanity, and use the state's public instruments for private use.

However, these opponents were soon crushed to pieces by the surging public opinion and public opinion voices.

Now, I don't even dare to take my head.

But whoever dares to take the lead will be labeled as 'grandstanding' and 'second in Dishan'.

Some people even threatened to throw these people to Mobei and to the Huns, and then see if they oppose it?

As a result, in the discussion of Chang'an and the people of the world, that virtuous brother has become the embodiment of affection and righteousness, talent and learning, and both civil and military.

There is no doubt that under this background of public opinion and the expectations of the people.

As long as he comes back, he can do whatever he wants!

Public opinion, popular will, and the Son of Heaven will all create conditions and opportunities for him.

And everyone else, will become a background board, become a vassal.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Anshi lowered his head, looked at the letter he was holding in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "What does all this have to do with me?" ”

Be!

It is true that Zhang Zizhong's momentum of returning to Beijing this time is no less than the momentum of Hou Huo, the champion of the Great Sima Hussar General that year, who returned from Hexi from illness.

Look at the world, all people admire, and the world returns to the heart.

Moreover, he doesn't have an opponent to match - unlike Huo Quai, there is also a general's uncle above his head, who is also a famous general with great achievements and is invincible in the world!

It also has the praise and expectation of public opinion and public opinion.

Whether it is Li Guangli or Liu Quyu, in front of him, they are all opponents who are not worth mentioning.

The only one who can stop him is the Son of Heaven.

However, this majesty is his biggest backer!

But......

Think about it carefully, does it have anything to do with him Zhang Anshi?

In the past few days, Zhang Anshi has also calmly considered it, and even thought about it from another perspective.

The final conclusion is that no matter how Zhang Zizhong chooses, his Shangshu order will be as stable as Mount Tai.

The reason is very simple - Zhang Zizhong wants to seize power, and there is no need to come to Shangshutai at all.

People can directly enter the ruling Jingo as General Yingyang.

Then he gave the order with the ruling Jingo.

Just like back then, when Zhang Tang was a court lieutenant, he directly threw off the big Si Nong, the imperial historian, and the prime minister above his head, and formulated, planned, and implemented the economic and judicial policies of the Han family on his own.

A twenty-seven "Yue Gong Law" was thrown directly on the court.

Then he won the unanimous 'approval' and 'support' of the ministers, and since then he has become a part of the Han law.

Therefore, his Shangshutai will only lose some power at most, and lose some of the prestige he had before.

What should really be worried is the current prime minister and Jiuqing.

Thinking like this, Zhang Anshi felt much more relaxed.

But, for some reason, my heart is still heavy, a little panicked, uncomfortable!

It's as if something important has been lost.

With the letter in his hand, Zhang Anshi came to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven seemed to be in a very good mood.

In his hand, he held a note, and he was overjoyed to read it.

When he saw Zhang Anshi coming, he greeted with a smile: "Shang Shuling, come and see ......"

He handed the song in his hand to Zhang Anshi: "From April this year to the present, Yumen Pass and Luntai have received more than 20,000 cattle and horses, more than 40,000 sheep from the Wusun people, and more than 3,000 women and children......

"The Wusun people are really capable!"

Zhang Anshi took the recital, and hurriedly said with a smile: "This all depends on Your Majesty's Tianwei, Zhang Shizhong uses strategies, and the ministers often say to their subordinates: If the country has a few more Zhang Zizhong, a peaceful and prosperous era is just around the corner!" ”

The Son of Heaven listened to Zhang Anshi's words, and was even more proud, stroked his beard, and said, "What Qing said is extremely true!" That's true! ”

The cattle, horses, livestock, women and children sent by the Wusun people are all contributions to the content of the agreement signed between Zhang Zizhong and that Wusun Xiao Kunmo last year!

Originally, the Son of Heaven never thought that a small Taixue could pull so many resources.

But reality gave him a big surprise!

Most of the cattle, sheep and horses sent by the Wusun people came to Luntai, Yumen, and Juyan to buy silk, ironware, and ordnance.

But those women and children are purely the tuition fees for studying abroad as Wusun nobles.

More than 3,000 women and children, according to the reports of Yumen and Juyan, are all young women between the ages of 16 and 20.

More than 2,000 of them have been cut off by Li Guangli and left in Hexi as the wives of the soldiers and generals.

More than a thousand people remained, on the way to Chang'an.

For this reason, local officials in Hexi reported that the people who had emigrated to Hexi now 'have a lot of hearts to work and be loyal to the monarch and settle down.'"

This made the Son of Heaven really happy.

He already plans to hype up this matter and let the whole world know about it - immigrants are not only divided into fields, farming tools, seeds, and houses by the state, but also by the Son of Heaven!

And it's an exotic orchid!

I believe that the world's singles and landless people will boil because of this!

As long as there are people to go to Biansai, then the four counties of Hexi no longer have to worry about the Qiang people, Yueshi people, and Huns.

Thinking like this, the Son of Heaven asked, "Qing came to see me, is there something wrong?" ”

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to report Zhang Zizhong's reply in the waiter......"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Let's talk about it...... What is Zhang Zizhong's clever plan? ”

Zhang Anshi then reported Zhang Yue's reply to the Son of Heaven, and handed over the reply letter at the same time.

While listening, the Son of Heaven took the letter, opened it and read it.

The content of the letter, mainly in the format of the family letter, is also about the details of the family.

But......

The content of it moved the Son of Heaven!

Because, as mentioned above, Zhang Zizhong is exhorting and admonishing his family 'don't be arrogant and contemptuous' and 'don't be rampant in serving merit', and even said that all honors and meritorious deeds are 'This is the power of His Majesty, the soldiers use their lives, and I just do it in moderation'.

If this is the case, the Son of Heaven may not be happy.

However, the words and descriptions of this letter are clearly addressed to his deceased sister-in-law, concubines, and retainers.

Because in addition to these contents, there are also a lot of instructions and care and details within the private family.

In other words, this is a letter from Zhang Zi who entrusted someone to bring back, and he never thought that this letter would come to him, the son of heaven.

This is what pleases the Son of Heaven the most.

It made him happy and felt like he wasn't looking at the wrong person.

And the countermeasures described by Zhang Anshi also made the eyes of the Son of Heaven shine.

He thought about it for a while, and instructed Zhang Anshi: "Qing is the edict for me......"

"With Zhang Zizhong's strategy as the core, in the name of me, quickly summon Lingju and order the general of the second division to follow it!"

In the position of the Son of Heaven, if you can avoid making a big move, it is naturally the best.

After all, the corn in the four counties of Hexi will soon be harvested.

The entire northern county of the Han dynasty will also have an autumn harvest.

At this time, even if he successfully resisted the attack of Xiqiang and Hehuangyue, it would be worth the loss.

The Son of Heaven didn't want to give the Huns a chance to breathe anymore!

In that year, after the decisive battle in Mobei, the Huns retreated into the Hanhai Sea and relied on the desert to escape far away.

Strategically, the Han dynasty chose to turn around and deal with South Vietnam, Minyue, Southwest Yi, and Korea.

As a result, the Xiongnu were given a chance to breathe, so that they recovered for more than ten years and began to compete with the Han for hegemony again.

If it was at that time, the Han family took advantage of the victory to pursue, from the direction of Yumen, Juyan, and Loulan, captured Puchanghai, controlled the Tianshan Mountains, and threatened the entire Northern Western Regions.

Well, I'm afraid that now the victory or defeat of the war has come out.

Maybe the Xiongnu Shan Yu has already performed a drama for him in Chang'an.

"No!" Zhang Anshi bowed his head and bowed: "The minister respectfully obeys the edict ......"

Then he raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven with a happy face, and shook his head secretly in his heart: "It's ridiculous that the prime minister is still thinking about the ...... between the Son of Heaven and that son."

"How did such a relationship between monarchs and ministers get separated?" He shook his head with a wry smile and stepped back.
