Qin Cheng was about to enter the palace to see Liu Che, Zhang Qian and Nangong Shang arrived at the Qin Mansion together, and the two saw that Qin Cheng couldn't even walk normally, so they were all shushing and asking for warmth, but the performance of the two was different. Nangong Shang has intersected with Qin Cheng since he was a child, and at this time, he naturally worries more about Qin Cheng, and there is a trace of unknown gloom color hidden under his beating eyelids. Zhang Qian, on the other hand, was more indignant at those who were lawless, and more worried about the current situation of the upper echelons of the empire than he cared about Qin Cheng. This is not to say that Zhang Qian is not interested in Qincheng, for an envoy who has just returned to Chang'an after ten years of exile in a foreign land, the affection for the empire in his heart is naturally much deeper than that of ordinary people.

I didn't feel any surprise that Nangong Shang and Zhang Qian came to Qincheng together, the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team were about to be handed over to Zhang Qian for management, and in the future, Nangong Shang would also follow Zhang Qian, and there was nothing wrong with contacting the relationship as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty told me two days ago, let me and Brother Zhang hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team, since you two are here today, let's talk about this matter properly, and we don't have to wait for the next day." Qin Cheng said to Zhang Qian and Nangong Shang.

"Brother Qin was injured, he should rest more in the past two days, and it's not too late to talk about the Chamber of Commerce in two days." Zhang Qian said.

"My injuries are fine, so there's no need to delay business." Qin Cheng said indifferently. Of course, he won't take Zhang Qian's kind words seriously.

After the three of them sat down, Qin Cheng took the lead in asking, "Brother Zhang, do you know what the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team did before?" ”

Zhang Qian knew that Qin Cheng wanted to ask if he knew anything about the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team, just like when parents married their daughters, they always had to make sure that their son-in-law knew their daughters, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a test. Zhang Qian coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty has already told me about the work of the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team, but you can rest assured that what the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team have done before, and what they will do in the future, this will not change." ”

Qin Cheng shook his head and said with a straight face: "Brother Zhang, it's better to be more detailed." It doesn't matter, Brother Zhang will say as much as he knows, it's not that Qin intends to make things difficult for Brother Zhang, but the work of the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team is unusual, and a little carelessness will cause unpredictable consequences, since it is a handover work, you and I might as well explain things thoroughly. ”

Qin Cheng thought of the entire intelligence team that had been submerged in the grassland, and he couldn't help but be not serious.

Zhang Qian lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then said: "In the past, the Chamber of Commerce traded privately with the grassland people, and the gross profits obtained were included in the Shanggu military camp as military expenses, and the intelligence team went deep into the grassland under the cover of the Chamber of Commerce to understand the situation of the grassland people and prepare for the Han-Hungarian war. What happened these days ago will still be what will be the future, the Han and the Xiongnu are in a full-scale battle, and the border trade on the surface naturally cannot exist, His Majesty means that since the Chamber of Commerce has been assigned to the imperial court, the work must be more formal, and it cannot touch salt and iron and other things, which are stricter than before the day. But because of the help of the imperial court, other materials are naturally much more convenient than a border county in Shanggu......" Speaking of the back, Zhang Qian's heart was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly realized that Qin Cheng was testing whether he understood the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team, and he clearly wanted to find out His Majesty's arrangements for the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team from his own mouth!

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian was secretly surprised at the same time, but also had to sigh, although Qin Cheng will no longer directly take over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team in the future, but his concern for the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team is only afraid that it will continue. Thinking of this, Zhang Qian deliberately revealed more of Liu Che's things in this regard to Qin Cheng, and he could be regarded as understanding that it was not easy for him to pull the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team together, but some core secrets naturally would not be known to Qin Cheng.

Qin Cheng saw that Zhang Qian understood what he meant, and his reaction was quite satisfactory, after all, Liu Che was his stepfather, and it was understandable that Qin Cheng was a little uneasy for a while, although this kind of unease seemed a little redundant in the eyes of outsiders.

The next conversation was much easier, Qin Cheng didn't forget to let Nangong Shang and Zhang Qian cooperate well in front of Zhang Qian, the stepfather is also a father, and it is even more difficult to get along, the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team can't have a trace of slackness, "Zuo Shuchang is also a lifeless master when he does things, he put himself in the last war, but I ran thousands of miles to find him back, Brother Zhang has to watch this guy closely, and he can't let him be arrogant." "What Zuo Shuchang is talking about is Nangong Shang, after the last war, Nangong Shang led Zuo Shuchang, if it weren't for the private nature of the Chamber of Commerce's intelligence team, it would be normal to be crowned a marquis with the credit of Nangong Shang.

"Brother Qin, don't worry, I'm afraid that Zuo Shu will not have the opportunity to charge in person in the future." Zhang Qian said with a smile, Qin Cheng was actually worried about the safety of Nangong Shang, how could Zhang Qian not hear it?

"In the future, we will cooperate with Brother Zhang, and we will have to rely on your intelligence to win the battle!" Qin Cheng said to Nangong Shang that it was the last time he would talk to him in a "Shangfeng" tone.

"Don't worry." Nangong Shang replied.

"That's very good." Zhang Qian just said a word with satisfaction, and suddenly came back to his senses, just now Qin Cheng told Nangong Shang that he was cooperating with his own good students, not listening to his own orders...... The two words mean two different meanings entirely.

Zhang Qian glanced at Qin Cheng in surprise, as if he wanted to see the unfriendliness on Qin Cheng's face, but Qin Cheng's face was as usual and there was no flaw. This made Zhang Qian have to wonder if he was too sensitive?

......

After sending Zhang Qian and Nangong Shang away, Qin Cheng still went to see Liu Che.

"You've not recovered from your injuries yet, and you've been giving birth at home for the past few days, don't move around, just go to the Tao for something." Liu Che summoned Qin Cheng in the Xuan Room, "I originally planned to go to your mansion to have a look, but you came to me first, so I don't have to run again." ”

"Over the years, a little injury has long been used to it, and the minister does not dare to let His Majesty worry about it." Qin Chengdao deliberately said that the degree of damage he suffered was lighter, but in fact, the reason why he insisted on entering the palace today was also to convey this meaning to the inside and outside of the court - the second-rank general of the imperial court was not in a big deal. A deeper meaning is that the feet of the Son of Heaven are still safe, and His Majesty is not an incompetent lord.

Although it doesn't make much sense to make these expressions after the incident, but for Qin Cheng personally, it is necessary to express this attitude, no matter how he is, he is also a kind courtier who thinks about His Majesty, isn't it?

"Well, even if it's a small injury, you can't be careless, don't go to the barracks for the next two days, there was nothing big a year ago, just ask Li Guang to take care of it for you - you have all stayed in Shanggu, so it's a good arrangement." Liu Che was very useful to Qin Cheng's sensibility, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Cheng said so, but he wondered in his heart why Liu Che didn't mention the punishment of Xue Ze and those people, after all, he still suffered such a big loss, and it was also a work injury, so Liu Che shouldn't say it? But then I thought: What reason does an emperor have to explain to you as a courtier? And it was relieved.

"You told me the story of that small country two days ago, and after thinking about it afterwards, I thought it was a little interesting. In this way, when you go back, you will give me a detailed note, and tell me the key to this. One thing turned over, and Liu Che immediately said the next thing.

"Commandment." Qin Cheng Dao couldn't help but be a little happy, if Liu Che really accepted the Legalist system that Shang Ying had practiced in the Qin State, whether it was public or private, Qin Cheng would be extremely happy.

"There's no hurry, it's still important for you to recuperate now." Liu Che added.

"I understand." Qin Chengdao, he understood that not only Liu Che was not in a hurry, but also understood that his expectations were a little too good from Liu Che's attitude of not being in a hurry, Liu Che was willing to go on his own about the Legalist system and the cultivation and warfare system, in fact, it doesn't mean anything, now it is not compared to later generations, the Confucian idea of governing the country has not really been established, and at this time, one more concept of governing the country is just one more reference for Liu Che.

"In the past two days, the south has been a little uneven, and the king of Minyue has moved very much, and he seems to be very restless." After saying this, Liu Che said seemingly casually, "What do you think about this matter?" "Let's throw it to Qin Cheng.

At this time, there were very few courtiers who could read the emperor's recital, and a copy of the recital was handed to Qin Cheng, which showed that Qin Cheng's status in Liu Che's mind was extraordinary, and this honor was enough to make every minister covetous. Qin Cheng took it upside down, and his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, but when he opened this book, Qin Cheng's heart gradually sank again.

In fact, there is nothing abnormal in the content of Shangshu, since Liu Che succeeded to the throne, the pace of expanding the territory in the south has been advancing in an orderly manner, and the territory of the Han Dynasty is also expanding day by day. As the territory expanded, a series of problems naturally followed, the most obvious of which was the disobedience of the original owners of the lands, and in some places the kings even rebelled, although they had actually surrendered within a few days. Among them, the king of Minyue is the most powerful, probably because there are some problems with the terroir of Minyue, and they are all "Diao people", who are brutal and difficult to change, and from time to time they also invade the surrounding counties that are also submissive to the Han Dynasty.

In the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Minyue attacked Dongou and Liu Che asked Wei Qing and Yan Zhu, who were then doctors in Taizhong, to send troops to rescue them, and then had to migrate the Dongou people between the Jianghuai River.

That time, Wei Qing wanted to transfer troops but did not have a tiger talisman in his hand, because Liu Che himself couldn't touch the tiger talisman at that time, but Wei Qing was given a scepter symbolizing his identity by Liu Che and asked him to seize military power. As a result, Wei Qing killed the lieutenant of Huiji County, and really snatched the military power. This incident also made the Empress Dowager Dou, who was in politics at the time, realize that it was useless for her to hide the tiger talisman and not give it to Liu Che, and her grandson still transferred troops without the tiger talisman, and later gave the tiger talisman to Liu Che. It was from that time that Liu Che began to take charge of the national military power.

In the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, King Ying of Minyue had itchy skin again, and sent troops to attack South Vietnam.

Qin Cheng vaguely remembered some of these things, so after he calmed down, he immediately thought of the meaning of Liu Che letting him see this Shangshu.
