Chapter 545: Internal Contradictions

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

The next morning, Jia Fu entered the palace and reported to Liu Xiuyu about last night's actions.

In the Han Dynasty, there was not an early dynasty every day, and the court meeting was usually divided into two kinds, one was the court, which only took place during the festival, and the other was the discussion of politics, that is, the early dynasty in the usual sense, once every five days.

Now Liu Xiu has just set the capital in Luoyang, and the state affairs and government affairs are busy, and the original tradition of one dynasty every five days has been changed to three days. After listening to Jia Fu's report in Qingliang Palace, Liu Xiu said: "Even if we destroy the five strongholds of Si'a, our understanding of Si'a is still very little, and even if there are other Si'a strongholds in Luoyang City, and whether there are four."

The remnants of Ah are not known. ”

Jia Fu bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu sighed, Jia Fu's ability, he is very confident, but even Jia Fu can't catch the live mouth of the Four Assassins, which shows how difficult the Four Assassins are.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I know, Junwen also worked hard last night." ”

Jia Fu lowered his head with a flushed face and said, "It's useless to be a micro-minister." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Junwen is a military general who fights on the battlefield, not a knight in the rivers and lakes, and it is understandable that he can't figure out the way for a while about the affairs of the Jianghu sect." ”

What he meant was urging Jia Fu to adapt to the position of Zhijinwu as soon as possible and shoulder the responsibilities of Zhijinwu.

This time, you can forget it, but next time, don't do this kind of thunder and rain again, tossing and turning all night, and only destroying five enemy strongholds that have been identified, and nothing else.

Zhi Jingo, that is, lieutenant, in modern terms, is the commander of the Capital Military Region and the director of the Capital Public Security Bureau, responsible for the security of the entire capital, with a high position of power, and of course, he also has a lot of responsibilities.

Although Liu Xiu didn't explain the words, Jia Fu could hear the voice, and he bowed down and said, "Weichen remembers His Majesty's teachings. Wechen retires! ”

Seeing that Liu Xiu nodded, Jia Fu withdrew from the hall. After Jia Fu left, Liu Xiu picked up a letter and read it twice from beginning to end, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.

After a while, Liu Xiu raised his head and said, "Zhang Kun! ”

Following Liu Xiu's summons, a messenger walked in quickly from outside, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "The slave has seen Your Majesty!" ”

The full name of the confessor is called the Zhonggong Confessor, who is the close attendant of the Son of Heaven, and to put it bluntly, it is the eunuch around the Son of Heaven, who helps the Son of Heaven convey various orders and affairs. Zhang Kun was a eunuch captured in Wang Lang's palace when Liu Xiu led his army to capture Handan. At that time, there were many chamberlains who were captured along with Zhang Kun, and Liu Xiu did not kill these chamberlains indiscriminately, but gave them a sum of money and dismissed them to return to their hometown

As for those servants who refused to leave, Liu Xiu took them as his dependents.

At that time, most of the captured chamberlains chose to stay with Liu Xiu and make him dependents. First, they are all eunuchs, and when they return to their hometowns, they are also ridiculed, life is better than death, second, Liu Xiu is generous, even if he treats his subordinates, he is not harsh at all, and the attendants are willing to follow Liu Xiu and serve Liu Xiu in their hearts.

This Zhang Kun is one of them. Zhang Kunqi is a person with quick hands and feet, a flexible mind, and is very good at doing things, and it didn't take long for him to stand out from the many chamberlains and be noticed by Liu Xiu.

Gradually, Liu Xiu will also arrange for him to do some relatively important work.

With Liu Xiu's entry into Luoyang, Zhang Kun also rose with the tide and became the commander of the Middle Palace, and in the palace, he was already a powerful eunuch.

Liu Xiu said to Zhang Kun: "Immediately announce the great Sima and the great Sikong into the palace." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Zhang Kun agreed, bowed, and exited the hall.

Zhang Kun did not dare to delay, and immediately left the palace, went to the Great Sima Mansion and the Great Sikong Mansion, and summoned Wu Han and Wang Liang into the palace.

Wu Han listened to the call, didn't ask anything, immediately changed into official clothes, and went to the palace. In his heart, Wu Han looked down on these eunuchs very much, and naturally he had nothing to say to them.

Wang Liang's personality is much more sleek, and after Zhang Kun finished reading the edict of the Son of Heaven, he stepped forward and said, "Zhang Liang's order!" ”

Zhang Kun hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile on his face: "Prince! "He is not very old, not yet thirty, of medium height, slightly chubby, round face, and he is happy to see everyone, and he is very pleasing.

Wang Liang asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty only announced that I was admitted to the palace alone?" ”

Zhang Kun had a good impression of Wang Liang, and when he asked, he didn't mind saying a few more words. He looked left and right, leaned into Wang Liang's ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty also proclaimed the Great Sima Wu Gong." ”

Wang Liang was stunned for a moment, now only Deng Yu is not in Luoyang among the three dukes, His Majesty announced himself and Wu Han, then there must be something important to discuss. He asked: "Zhang Zhizhi, I don't know why Your Majesty announced the two of us to enter the palace?" ”

Zhang Kun looked around again and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty is the prince and the duke of Wu who only announced after watching Zhu Zhoumu's recital. ”

Zhu Zhoumu, that's Zhu Fu. Strange, what can happen in Youzhou? Could it be that the Huns invaded? Wang Liang thanked Zhang Kun with a full stomach full of questions.

Zhang Kun returned the salute with a smile and said, "The prince is too polite, the slave can't stand it!" ”

The eunuchs of the Han Dynasty usually called themselves slaves and maids, and they were particularly close to the Son of Heaven.

There can only be one man in the palace, and if the eunuch calls himself a slave, it does not mean that there are two men in the palace, which is a great disrespect to the Son of Heaven, so the eunuch can only call himself a slave, and this self-title has been continued for a long time.

Wu Han and Wang Liang entered the palace one after another, the former arrived first, waited in the side hall for a while, and after Wang Liang also arrived, the two entered the main hall together to meet Liu Xiu.

After the two of them finished saluting, Liu Xiu waved his hand to the two of them and motioned for the two of them to sit in front of him.

The two sat down, and Liu Xiu picked up a piece of music and handed it to the two of them, so that they could look at it. The song is written by Youzhou Mu Zhu Fu, and the content in it is basically all about accusing Yuyang of being too protective of Peng Pet.

In the recital, Zhu Fu conclusively listed a series of criminal evidence against Peng Chong, saying that he was in Yuyang, forming a party for personal gain, wantonly cultivating party henchmen, saying that he was enriching his own pockets, taking advantage of his power, hoarding grain, grass and weapons, and trying to plot misdeeds......

Filling his pockets, forming a party for personal gain, and plotting against him, Zhu Fu's letter is also ruthless enough, and he intends to put Peng Pet to death.

After Wu Han and Wang Liang finished reading this letter of Zhu Fu, Liu Xiu asked, "Ziyan, Jun Yan, what do you think?" ”

Now Wu Han and Wang Liang finally understand why His Majesty announced that he and the two of them entered the palace. Wu Han and Wang Liang used to be county commanders under Peng Pet, so they naturally know Peng Pet very well.

Now that Zhu Fu has impeached Peng Pet for so many felonies, Liu Xiu will not just listen to his words, so he will bring Wu Han and Wang Liang into the palace to discuss the matter.

Hearing Liu Xiu's question on his head, Wu Han and Wang Liang glanced at each other, but neither of them immediately answered. They are really not easy to answer this question. If you echo Zhu Fu's letter, then it seems that you are too ungrateful, after all, the two of them were officials under Peng Pet before, and the reason why they were able to come to Liu Xiu's side and follow Liu

Xiu is also appointed by Peng's favor. It can be said that the two of them can be the big Sima and the big Sikong, and Peng Pet's support for the two of them is indispensable.

But if they speak for Peng Pet and try their best to defend him, it seems that they are shielding Peng Pet, and it will even make people suspect that he and Peng Pet have an affair.

After being silent for a while, Wu Han opened his mouth and said: "Peng Taishou is not honest enough as an official, but Weichen thinks that Peng Taishou will not betray Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Liang glanced at Wu Han and answered: "The matter is very important, Weichen thinks that His Majesty can first send someone to Yuyang to investigate secretly, and then summon Peng Taishou to Beijing and question him face to face, so it is the safest!" Liu Xiu said: "When I first arrived in Hebei, officials from all over the country were bewitched by Wang Lang and were willing to take refuge in Handan

During this period, the supplies of the two counties were endless, and I have never forgotten them! ”

Wu Han and Wang Liang bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is virtuous and benevolent!" ”

Liu Xiu continued: "If others oppose me, I am not sad, if Peng Tai is against me, my heart is very sad. ”

Wu Han and Wang Liang glanced at each other again, but neither spoke again.

Zhu Fu's letter, some of which are true and some of which are false, both of them are skeptical, because the relationship between Zhu Fu and Peng Pet is very bad. After Liu Xiu became the emperor, Peng Pet often regarded himself as a hero, and he has always been true to his top boss Zhu Fu, and Zhu Fu is just a narrow-minded and very grudgeful person, Peng Pet's arrogance and rudeness have always made Zhu Fu hold a grudge

In this case, Zhu Fu's recital will inevitably be mixed with water, which is an exaggeration. However, Zhu Fu used to be Liu Xiu's main bookkeeper and belonged to Liu Xiu's confidant, and Zhu Fu's report occupied a lot of weight in Liu Xiu's mind.

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, if Peng Pet has not done anything in the song, Zhu Fu will not dare to write like this.

Liu Xiu found Wu Han and Wang Liang to discuss the matter, in fact, he also wanted to use the mouth of the two of them to warn Peng Chong that it should be stopped in moderation, and if the matter developed to an irreversible step, it would be impossible to regret it.

Wu Han and Wang Liang are both Peng Chong's old subordinates, and they can speak to Peng Chong.

Wang Liang understood Liu Xiu's intentions, and Wu Han didn't think in this direction at all. Wu Han is a person with a high IQ, but a very low EQ, and his interpersonal relationships are also average.

After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Wu Han only said casually: "Weichen thinks that Peng Taishou will not dare to rebel. ”

Then, he changed his mind and said that his main concern was to march south and recover Jingzhou. He didn't know Liu Xiuxuan's purpose for entering the palace at all, but he brought all the maps of Jingzhou, and he asked the chamberlain outside the palace to send in the map he brought, unfold it, and then he stood up, pointed to the map, and talked about himself endlessly

How should Fang use troops to recover the entire Jingzhou step by step.

Seeing this, Wang Liang smiled helplessly, and now it is obvious that what His Majesty wants to do most is to stabilize the interior and consolidate his own foundation, rather than a non-stop radical and continuous outward expansion.

In fact, Liu Xiu did have such thoughts, but he didn't show it, and when Wu Han pointed to the map to explain, he listened carefully and carefully.

When Wu Han finished speaking, Liu Xiu laughed, nodded and praised: "Ziyan is worthy of being a big Sima, take precautions, and win a thousand miles!" When Wu Han heard this, he grinned and smiled proudly.
