Since stepping into the Han Dynasty, nearly ten years have passed, and the horses are handsome and busy. Yuan Zhao has never had the opportunity to get all his friends together and have a good talk.

Now, the Xiongnu have been destroyed, the border troubles have subsided, the Quartet is stable, and the world is bowing down. After dealing with a series of troubles in Chang'an, he finally decided to take advantage of the opportunity when most people were in Chang'an to gather in Mingyue Tower and talk about wine.

By now, whether it is the courtiers of Chang'an or the people of the world, they have seen it clearly. In a few days, the most famous marquis of the Han Dynasty will definitely step into the most central position of the court, shoulder heavy responsibilities, and be in charge of the court.

Many people have polished their eyes and are looking forward to this moment with great excitement. The prosperity of the Han Dynasty has developed rapidly to this day, and who has played a decisive role in this is the people's vision. And when this person really grasps the authority of the world, what kind of grand occasion will it be? As long as you live in this land, there is no one who does not look forward to it.

However, no one knows the exact news about when Yuan Zhao will officially stand in the center of the stage. No one will dare to affirm it publicly.

During this time, at several small-scale gatherings, some people also asked in a tentative tone, but Yuan Zhao just smiled and did not say anything. It's not that he's pretending to be mysterious, and it's not that he's trying to sell anything. Some things come naturally, and nature is the best. What he was waiting for was the emperor's final attitude.

What Yuan Zhao wants is not a false name. Will the emperor be able to let go of the power that he has so hard concentrated in his hands again? He believes that the people in the depths of Weiyang Palace must also be comprehensively considering the pros and cons of this.

The contradiction between imperial power and relative power is a very complicated relationship. Even in the evolution of the polity for thousands of years, this problem has never been well solved. What is the best way to maintain a balance? After many times of meditation, he felt that this was precisely what he was most troubled with.

All power struggles, even if they are raging and bloody, are trivial matters compared to this ultimate goal. Only by formulating a fundamental system that is most in line with the development of the Han Dynasty can it be a major event related to the stability of the future. For this reason, he is mentally prepared to fight for it for ten or thirty years, or even the rest of his life.

Even if he has the vision to read for thousands of years, after exploring up and down, left and right, he has not found any examples that can be directly referenced. The trajectory of history has been changed beyond recognition by itself, and the vast world is only my eagle! Perhaps, the only way to continue to walk along the situation that he has created is to rely on the unyielding strength.

In fact, in a quiet way, there is a ...... about the government, military, culture, economy, and external exchanges at the level of the entire country In all these aspects, he already has a general plan in his heart. What is lacking, in addition to detailed details, is crucial to the need for the most appropriate opportunity to roll them out in full.

Yuan Zhao is like a veteran of the game, all the chess pieces have been placed, quietly waiting for the start. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he has sat firmly in this game of chess.

The major events in the world, without a definite opponent, are the most difficult and terrifying. Using heaven and earth as a chessboard and time as a chess piece, redefining a reasonable order that can last as long as possible is his ultimate goal.

Such a grand and magnificent thing, throughout the ages, I am afraid that even the greatest emperors can hardly do it! The future is bumpy, how difficult. However, when Yuan Zhao looked at the sages in front of him, and when a glass of liquor was full of wine, his determination was never so strong.

The old and strong Dou Ying, Li Guang, and Zheng at that time have patted their chests and made a promise that the younger generations of the family, no matter what they want, will definitely go all out to follow them in order to become a general trend.

And the important allies of the court, Wei Qing, Sima Xiangru, Dongfang Shuo, Zhongjun, Yan An and others, not to mention, they have long been in touch with Yuan Zhao, and they are full of incomparable confidence in the future he depicted.

As a strong backing, Dong Zhongshu, the master father Yan, Zhao Yu, and several princes led by Liu An, the king of Huainan, sat beside them, watching the young generation's high-minded talk, twisting their beards and smiling, their expressions were full of relief. With their rich experience, they know more clearly than others that as long as Yuan Zhao is in power, the future of this great dynasty will inevitably be more brilliant.

And the younger juniors who sat alone had a particularly lively atmosphere. Cui Hong, Lu Jun, Li Ling, Zhuo Yu, Ji Jia...... When the wine is dry, they are disturbed and argued. Park Yongyeol, who was dressed in white and wrapped in a few wounds, rarely spoke, but no one did not respect him. The battle of Long Street that day became famous in one fell swoop. His bravery and loyalty have won the respect of everyone.

The only thing that no one dared to disturb casually was probably the figure sitting quietly not far behind Yuan Zhao. The woman with the negative sword who has completely changed her outfit, with green silk and red makeup, handsome eyebrows, everyone knows who she is, but no one will call out that name at random anymore.

"Yuanhou entered the palace yesterday, and His Royal Highness the Prince's injury should be fine, right?"

The gray-haired Zhao Yu looked indifferent, he had endured many years in prison, although he was not the oldest, but his physical condition was the worst. If it weren't for Yuan Zhao helping him to take care of himself over the years, I'm afraid he would have died long ago. Not being able to drink alcohol on such an important occasion is inevitably a fly in the ointment. I took a sip of the tea cup in my hand, and I was still a little uneasy in my words after all.

Yuan Zhao smiled slightly, he didn't have to think about it, he also knew what Zhao Yu was worried about. When the chaos in Chang'an was not over, Zhao Yu and Dong Zhongshu entered Chang'an overnight regardless of their weak bodies and came to his side, but they were just afraid that he would make a mistake. Of course, Yuan Zhao understood the meaning of this fist.

"The prince is benevolent and filial, regardless of his own safety, blocking the sword for the king, naturally moving heaven and earth, and people and gods bless him. As long as you recuperate in peace, I believe that you will be healed soon. ”

In front of so many people, Yuan Zhao naturally wouldn't say much else. Zhao Yu, Dong Zhongshu, and the master father glanced at each other, he twisted his beard with his hand, and seemed to say something casually.

"With Yuanhou's divine doctor and national hand, coupled with the careful care of the Tai Hospital, it is naturally reassuring. It's just that Yuanhou should pay special attention to the fact that at such a critical moment, peace in the palace must be of paramount importance! ”

Zhao Yu's words seem ordinary, but there is a deep intention behind them. This old man, who had served as the captain of the Great Han Dynasty for many years, had seen too much conspiracy and darkness. On the battlefield of supreme power struggle, it has always been unscrupulous to kill you. It has nothing to do with good or evil in human nature, nor does it have anything to do with justice or not. He wanted to remind Yuan Zhao to be vigilant and sober at all times, and he must not relax just because he has already controlled the overall situation.

"Yes, Marquis Yuan, although some careerists around the court and His Majesty have been eliminated, there are not a few people in the palace who secretly covet the imperial power. The crown prince was injured, although the misunderstanding and contradiction between him and His Majesty were eliminated, which was a good thing. But on the other hand, it might make some people who have been thinking about it for a long time think otherwise! Not to mention ....... ”

Dong Zhongshu, who was close to Yuan Zhao's side, nodded lightly, expressing his agreement with Zhao Yu's opinion. He said this, lowering his voice slightly.

"What's more, after this incident, what His Majesty the Emperor thinks in his heart, I'm afraid he will never reveal it easily...... Providence is unpredictable, you must be more careful in everything you do in the future! ”

The master father, who drank a lot of wine, heard their secret words, and he had already stopped drinking. He gave a soft high-five, exclaiming.

"What Master Dong and Master Zhao said is exactly what I have been worried about for many days! Before Yuanhou officially took power, it was actually not appropriate to stay in Chang'an for a long time. Staying away from the right and wrong, watching from the sidelines, and staying active at all times is the best policy. When the dust settles and the time is ripe, he will come back to take charge of the court, who will give up such a heavy responsibility! ”

In the current situation, his words are really high-minded. The other two nodded in agreement. However, Master Father Yan looked at the smile that appeared on Yuan Zhao's face. He smiled wryly again and shook his head.

"Alas! It's a pity that Yuanhou doesn't think so. Knowing that this place is difficult and dangerous, he does not avoid suspicion. What can I do if I wait?"

The voices of several of them finally caught the attention of the others. Feeling the gaze of many eyes, Yuan Zhao simply stood up and beckoned everyone to drink a full cup together to help the wine. Then he glanced at it quietly, and saw that there were no outsiders in this Mingyue Tower. He decided to reveal a little bit about some of his thoughts.

"Huh! In fact, what the three teachers reminded just now is very reasonable and timely. Behind this series of changes in Chang'an City, there are different forces behind it. Even if I don't know this, I'm sure everyone will understand. Some ambitious people have been waiting in the dark for a long time! I have a hunch that the struggle for imperial power in the Han Dynasty is far from over...... Chang'an has shed a lot of blood...... I very much don't want to see any more turmoil and bloodshed that will disrupt my plans in the near future, when those livelihood plans are in full swing. Therefore, waiting for the sudden attack of some hidden forces, I have made a lot of preparations...... Instead of preventing it all the time, it is better to create opportunities for them to take the initiative to jump out. Finish it in one battle, save long nights and dreams, and waste precious time and energy...... Oh, what do you guys think? ”

Surprised and excited, the eyes of many young people lit up. Isn't that the opportunity to rise to prominence with the sword imminently? Don't miss it this time!
