The early spring night is still cold and lonely.

In the Jianzhang Palace, it is extremely cold.

Zhang Yue found someone to make a recliner, and then lay on it, looking up at the starry sky in front of the Western Yuan.

Beside him, a fire was burning.

A few scones, baked at high temperatures, quickly give off a heart-warming aroma.

Zhao Chongguo, who had been waiting for the meal for a long time, saw this, and immediately took it without asking, took out a piece of browned scone from the wall of the stove, and then wrapped it in caviar and meat sauce, and ate it in a big gulp, with a satisfied face.

"Brother Xian, this cooking skill is really unique in the world!" Zhao Chongguo admired while eating.

It's a pity that the days when Zhang Yue entered the palace on duty were really pitiful.

Even if he is in Chang'an, he will enter the palace once in seven days at most.

The rest of the time is all busy with the affairs of Taisun Palace.

The number of times he was able to enjoy such delicacies was only a handful.

And, I'm afraid, in the future, there will be fewer and fewer of them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chongguo couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"By the way......" Zhang Yue turned sideways, looked at Zhao Chongguo, who was gobbling up, and asked: "I heard that Dasi Nong played His Majesty yesterday and wants to open a fish and salt bureau in the four counties of North Korea?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Chongguo did not hide it, nodded and said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to the proposal of Dasi Nong, and set up a fish and salt bureau in the four counties of North Korea, Liaodong, and Liaoxi, which is responsible for fish and salt affairs, except for the fish and salt department, and prohibits the government, the people, and the fish and salt ......affairs."

"This matter has made many ministers quite angry, and I am afraid that there will be many more people who impeach the great Sinong and the people for profit......

Zhang Yue listened and sighed secretly.

Although Sang Hongyang is very good at doing the economy, he is also very good at making money.

But after all, there are still limitations.

The salt and iron official camp and the level of the quasi-loss gave him a taste of the sweetness of state monopoly and monopoly.

Therefore, over the years, he has spared no effort to promote the state-run business to any other profiteering channel, which is almost a Western Han Dynasty version of the national advance and retreat policy.

It's just that......

Doing so will attract hatred.

Especially in the early stage of the Han Dynasty, in fact, it is the context of the people's advancement and retreat, especially in the background!

You must know that when the Huang Lao School was in power, not to mention salt and iron, finance was also open to private individuals.

Until now, the common people have to interfere even with fishing, and the state has to interfere.

Think about it, the gentry, aristocracy, and landlords in the world, who doesn't hate Sang Hongyang?

Moreover, Zhang Yue is not optimistic about the prospects of Sang Hongyang's state-run policy of fish and salt.

Because, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

All the more because, no one will agree!

Even Zhang Yue will oppose this state-run policy of fish and salt.

Because......

The fish and salt state run will greatly dampen the adventurous spirit of the people and prevent the birth of some legendary figures.

It's just that Zhang Yue is not easy to oppose clearly.

After all, it is impossible for him to stupidly run to Sang Hongyang and tell you - you have done something wrong, you should listen to your brother!

Isn't that mentally retarded?

Therefore, I had to sigh twice in my heart, and I only hoped that Sang Hongyang would not lose too badly.

At this moment, a eunuch on duty hurriedly came to Zhang Yue and Zhao Chongguo's side, and reported: "Qi Qi two servants, Shang Shu Ling Zhang Gong and Da Honglu Dai Gong, urgently ask to see Your Majesty......"

"Huh?" Zhang Yue immediately got up and asked, "Why are you so anxious?" ”

"Shangjun urgently, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, the servant of the government, was assassinated in Wuhengyu City a few days ago...... the eunuch reported: "The situation is urgent, so the big Honglu starry night into the palace to report to Zhang Lingjun, Zhang Lingjun did not dare to slack off, and asked to see His Majesty overnight......"

That's a big deal!

Zhao Chongguo immediately became excited, and little stars flashed in his eyes.

When was the last time a Han envoy was assassinated abroad?

It seems to have to be traced back to the early years of Taichu, when King Wan killed the Han envoy and triggered Li Guangli's expedition!

Since then, the Han envoy has become a taboo for Yidi!

The messenger holding the Son of Heaven Festival, even if he is single-handedly and alone, can go straight to the Yidi Royal City and not change his face in front of thousands of troops and horses.

Because, everyone knows that killing the Han envoy is tantamount to provoking the Han family.

It is self-destruction, self-inflicted disaster!

Even if it was a Hun person, they only dared to detain, but did not dare to kill the Han envoy.

Even the Han family business travel is not something that ordinary people can offend.

When the jade gate is closed, the heads of a new batch of Yidi nobles and horse bandit leaders who are eradicated for the Han army will be hung every year.

There are even some heads that are the heads of Kangju bandits sent to the Han family by the Wusun people from thousands of miles away.

And these people, without exception, are all Yidi who has killed and humiliated Han merchants.

Therefore, in Bailongdui, the key point of the Silk Road, strange things often happen.

When the armies of the Cheshi and Pu countries confronted the Loulan cavalry, a Han merchant brigade with the black dragon banner swaggered through the battlefield.

The two opposing sides have all fallen silent, retreating, and not daring to bend their bows to each other.

Even if he was a car master, he didn't have the courage to hurt Han merchants.

Because, countless facts have proved that the Han family will definitely take revenge on those who hurt their own merchants.

Wherever he is? Where to hide?

In the first three years of Taishi, the king of Fule in the Western Regions thought that he was thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty, and he was protected by the Xiongnu servants, so he was arrogant, intercepted the Han merchants, and killed and plundered the Han merchants.

So, two months later, the captain of the Han Dynasty led more than 30 horsemen, led the Wusun soldiers straight into his royal city, beheaded him, destroyed his country, destroyed his society, and obtained his subjects to return to Yumen Pass.

From beginning to end, the Huns watched from the wall.

It's not because the Huns are afraid of the continuation of the same more than 30 horsemen and hundreds of Wusun soy sauce.

But in advance, the general of the Second Division of the Han Dynasty, Haixi Hou Li Guangli, personally wrote a letter to the Xiongnu Rizhu King Xianxian, with a thousand gold, a thousand silk, and 30 Loulan beauties as bribes, and promised that 'if the king allows, this will be accepted'.

So, in front of the golden silk beauty and the favor of the general of the Han Second Division, Hai Xihou.

The Xiongnu Rizhu King personally ordered that he was not allowed to interfere with the actions of the Han family.

After all, Fule King is just a dog, not domestic, just a wild dog that comes to beg for food.

And Hai Xihou, the general of the Second Division of the Han Dynasty, is an important minister of the Han family, the head of the generals, and bribes of daughters, silk, and beauties.

The sages can make a choice with their ass!

Now......

A genuine envoy of the Son of Heaven, a mid-court officer who went out with a festival, had an accident outside the border.

Zhao Chongguo only felt that his blood was boiling, and every cell in his body was shouting one word: war!

The envoy of the Han family, holding the festival of the Son of Heaven, made it at home and abroad.

Where the festival comes, it is like me coming!

If it is unlucky, it is equivalent to someone slapping the face of the Son of Heaven of the Han Empire.

The Han family court will only have one attitude towards this: revenge!

The murderer must pay the price!

And Zhao Chongguo is gearing up and eager to try.

However, in the next second, he was depressed.

Because, he saw that Zhang Yue was more excited and excited than him!

"A thief dares to despise me China?" Zhang Yue clenched his fists, righteous and awe-inspiring, and said to Zhao Chongguo: "Brother Zhao, please ask my brother to invite Zhang Lingjun and Dai Gong, and the younger brother will go and inform Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Chongguo nodded stupidly, and listened to Zhang Yue's righteous indignation: "Brother Ren was assassinated, this is Yidi's insult to my China, the lord humiliates the minister's death, and if you don't take revenge, my generation is a vain minister!" ”

Then he strode towards the Son of Heaven's bedroom.

At this time, Zhang Yue's heart was full of joy and excitement.

Ren Lizheng, he has never even met in person, only knows that he is an old friend of Su Wu and Huo Guang, recommended by Huo Guang, and is responsible for negotiating with the Xiongnu to welcome back the Han envoys who have been detained in previous dynasties.

A few days ago, Zhang Yue also heard that there had been tremendous progress in Ren Lizheng's negotiations.

Su Wu, Chang Hui and others are about to return to China.

Who knows, but now I suddenly heard bad news.

Although, it is not yet known that Ren Lizheng's current situation.

But since they all let Dai Ren and Zhang Anshi, enter the palace at night and report urgently.

I'm afraid that Ren Lizheng is already unlucky.

It's a pity to be reasonable!

But for some reason, Zhang Yue had no regrets and regrets, but was inexplicably excited!

"Wuheng!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Yue's mouth.

Wuheng, originally after the Donghu, was a nomadic tribe in the area of the Great Xing'an Mountains in the north of the south of the desert for the Xiongnu.

When Huo Qu was sick and went out of Beiping and attacked the Huns, he easily took this little brother under his command.

Then, with the Wuheng people, the main force of the right Xianwang of the Xiongnu was stormed.

In this process, the Wuheng people fought bravely and did not avoid the arrows, which made Huo Qubing very satisfied.

Therefore, he specially wrote to the Son of Heaven and requested that the pastures outside the Great Wall of Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping, which were originally the hometown of the Xiongnu, be given to Wuheng, so that he could live outside the Great Wall as a barrier and early warning of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the Changshui Lieutenant Battalion was established, and the elites and warriors in the various departments of Wuheng were Han warriors.

When Huo Qubing was alive, the Wuheng people were loyal and willing to be hussar eagle dogs.

Following Huo Quai's southern and northern wars, Ma Ge shrouded his body, and left countless stories to sing and cry in Gaolan Mountain, Rouge Mountain, Qilian Mountain, Wolf Juxu Mountain, and Guyan Mountain.

Even if Huo Qu died of illness, the Wuheng departments did not change their loyalty.

Serve as a barrier, wing, and shield for Han.

In the previous Han-Hungarian wars, Wu Heng Yicong was indispensable.

Even now, Wu Hengyi, the captain of Changshui, is still the most loyal minions of the Han Emperor.

It's just that......

Time is the most cruel weapon in the world.

It makes loyal ministers old, makes fierce generals white-headed, and makes oaths empty.

Today's Wu Heng is no longer a loyal dog under Huo Quai's command.

Among the nine departments of Wuheng, except for the three departments that moved inward, they have completed the sinicization, organized the households, lived in Shangjun and Dai County, and were still loyal to the Han.

The rest have already developed ambitions.

In the future, a great rebellion was triggered.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Huo Quai's lack of foresight.

In fact, in order to tame Wuheng, Huo Qubing ordered the Wuheng people to overthrow the Xiongnu Dragon City, dig up the coffins of Mao Dun and others, whip the corpses, and break the bones and scatter ashes!

Since then, Wuheng has become mortal enemies with the Huns.

Wuheng and the Xiongnu have become inseparable enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation!

It's just that Huo Qubing died young, and all his designs and ambitions will not have time to be realized.

As a result, many questions remained.

And Zhang Yue, who has always boasted of being the 'lackey of the champion Houmen', is of course willing to fill in the gaps and fill in the regrets for his idol.

This time, Ren Lizheng's assassination is an excellent opportunity!
