Chapter Fifty-Six: Gossip in the Palace

Without the Huns, the Han Empire became alive.

It's like a new life, or like a slender man who has lost his rope, and a donkey who has lost his burden, and whose body is as light as a swallow, but who doesn't know which direction to exert his strength.

In the prosperous era, the first industry that flourished was commerce.

Especially Guanzhong!

When Emperor Taizu Gao was preparing to build the capital in Guanzhong, the activities of mobilizing wealthy families from all over the world to enter Beijing never stopped.

This is a means of expanding the total economic output of Guanzhong, although the previous emperors did not understand what they meant to Guanzhong, only knew that this could quickly make Guanzhong rich, and at the same time, it could also greatly weaken the place.

Now, there is no need for the emperor to use edicts to move rich families, as long as there are rich people, the most ideal place to live is Chang'an.

Chang'an City is an official city, and few people can really live in it, and people don't like this city that often needs curfews.

Every inch of land in Yanglingyi is expensive, and if you want to settle here, the average rich family can't take out so much money at all.

As a result, Xinfeng City and Xiliuying have become the main gathering places for people.

As the city with the most advanced facilities, cleanest and most convenient life in the whole Han Dynasty, Fuguicheng has been firmly controlled by the magnates of the Han Empire.

The population of the city did not increase, but the land outside the city was opened, and in a short period of time, many villages were born around the city.

The world is changing, and the only thing that hasn't changed is the palace.

Sui Yue brought up a bucket of water from the well, poured the water into the rain urn with a brisk pace, and saw that the small fish in the big urn had enough room to swim, and the lotus leaves were slowly stretched on the water surface, so he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and sat under the gazebo to enjoy the coolness.

Half a year has passed, and he has become accustomed to his current life.

At the beginning, he hoped that the emperor would remember him, but now, he only hoped that the emperor would truly forget about him.

Perhaps, this is the unanimous wish of all the eunuchs who have been reprimanded for the palace.

If you have seen prosperity, you can bear the pain of decline, and a prosperous place may not be a good country, and a declining place may not be a desperate situation.

Sui Yue's property was preserved by Zhong Liyuan, so he was not poor at all.

A long time ago, his nephew Sui Jin was succeeded by his elder brother under his disciple, so he is also a man with a son.

Sui Jin bought a very large mansion in Fugui City, and also purchased some shops, which is not a rich family, but it can be regarded as worry-free.

The children of the peasant family don't know much, but fortunately, they still know filial piety, and on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, there is always food, and a change of clothes is sent to the Yeting Palace, so Sui Yue did not suffer much in the Yeting Palace.

His only friend in the palace is Zhong Liyuan, whether it is playing chess, drinking, or drinking tea, it is pleasant.

The life in the Yeting Palace was too leisurely, and Sui Yue became a lot fatter.

Looking up at the sun's slight west, it was time for the emperor to take a nap.

Sui Yue took out a small table from the house, put two small benches, made a pot of tea, prepared the chessboard, and waited for Zhong Li to come from afar.

As soon as these things were done, Zhong Liyuan rode a horse to the Yeting Palace.

didn't say hello, sat opposite Sui Yue by himself, poured out a cup of tea from the teapot and drank it, before he said slowly: "This morning, the court is about to make a noise." ”

Sui Yue smiled: "They always quarrel. ”

Zhong Liyuan shook his head and said, "This time is different, the old thief of Erkuan wanted to sue the old man and proposed that Sang Hongyang be appointed as the chief farmer, but he was vetoed by the ministers. ”

Sui Yue said quietly: "Back then, Sang Hongyang robbed Kong Wei, Dongguo Xianyang, concocted white deer coins, and robbed Qian Zhuang, these people should remember clearly."

Everything is for the sake of His Majesty.

Well, Your Majesty is alone, then it is natural to hate the ministers, but it is also natural, or Sang Hongyang will never want to become an official like the Three Princes in his life.

He is an outlier among officials, does His Majesty support him? ”

Zhong Liyuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty rarely makes decisions now, and it only depends on the opinions of the ministers to come up with a result, so he takes advantage of the situation." ”

Sui Yue raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty is really confused, the current situation of the Han Dynasty is too special, and there is no precedent to learn from."

So, with His Majesty's cautious heart, he will take another look, and when His Majesty has a rough gully in his heart, it will be time to launch. ”

Zhong Liyuan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty now has time to observe the world, and then sort out a distinct context from it."

Anyway, the big man has no enemies. ”

"There is no enemy anymore, how do you say that my Han army should be arranged?"

"It's all under the big battalion, anyway, the army is under the command of the local army Sima, the big Sima, the generals will be unloaded after returning to Beijing, and now the army outside is less than 100,000, what is it."

"Huh? Do you see it this way, or do the ministers in the court see it this way? ”

"Both, General Sima returned from Liangzhou and was sick at home, and the order was handed over to the army, and the most elite Xiliu battalion of my Han Dynasty, as well as the soldiers and horses of the left battalion, returned to the garrison and accepted the military Sima moderation.

Our Han no longer has the so-called self-respecting generals, and the eyes of the ministers have begun to shrink back to the country from outside.

Just today, some people have suggested that the number of border troops should be reduced, and that the state pastors should raise a small number of border troops on their own to stabilize local law and order. ”

"Did Your Majesty agree?"

"No, Your Majesty smiled and didn't say anything, so he diverted the topic."

Sui Yue proudly threw a fried bean into his mouth and chewed it crunching.

"Expecting His Majesty to delegate military power is a complete pipe dream.

Your Majesty relied on my Han army to defeat a peaceful world for us, and the Han army is the foundation of this peaceful world, and Your Majesty will not let go of military power easily no matter what. ”

Zhong Li said from afar: "The border army has already begun to be cut, and the soldiers available in the hands of the Liangzhou herdsmen are only sixty percent of the Yaya soldiers of the Wei General's Mansion." ”

Sui Yue smiled: "The prince is a different ......"

When Liu Che sleeps, no one generally dares to disturb him, he has always liked to work at night, so he will definitely sleep for an hour during the day.

It's a habit he's cultivated over the years, and it's easy not to change.

It's the same today, it's just that after going to bed, the queen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made him curious.

"Yun Lang killed Sima Wu Tong of the Wuwei Army!"

Wei hesitated, but still said what was in his heart.

Liu Che lay on the bed, supported his head with one hand, and said to Wei with interest: "Wu Tong takes Liangzhou Mu's order as a deaf ear, who will he kill if he doesn't kill him?" ”

"Jiang Huan has resigned."

"Oh, lawlessness, just hand it over to Yousi to deal with, what, do you want to intercede for Jiang Huan?"

Empress Wei shook her head and said, "The concubine body always can't understand that there is no great evil between the Marquis of Yong'an and the crown prince, why are there always disputes between them?" ”

Liu Che sneered and said, "Because of interests, do you want me to say it more clearly?" “

Empress Wei smiled bitterly: "I have the opportunity to listen to your analysis of the court, how could the concubine let go of such a good opportunity." ”

Liu Che sat up, looked at Empress Wei calmly and said, "The Yun clan is the upstart of the Great Han Kingdom, and it is the most powerful upstart, and the crown prince is also an upstart, and he is the most powerful upstart in the future.

In the case that the old interests have been scraped clean by us, the prince will inevitably follow the path of the Yun family's direction.

However, the Yun clan did not want to rely on the crown prince, so it was inevitable that there would be a conflict between them.

The crown prince wanted to be strong quickly, and he couldn't do it without the help of the Yun clan.

For now, Yun Lang is quite restrained, and he can be regarded as giving the prince enough face.

Sometimes I wonder why the prince is so impatient. ”

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be a little angry, Empress Wei hurriedly helped the emperor to lie down, and gently shook the pu fan to cool the emperor.

"Don't be angry, if you do, you won't be able to sleep."

The Emperor snorted coldly and slowly closed his eyes.

When the emperor fell asleep, Empress Wei left the emperor's bedroom and returned to the Jiaofang Palace, where she lived.

Summoned Da Changqiu and instructed: "Pass my will and order the prince to concentrate on studying!" ”

Da Changqiu agreed, and then said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken Jiang Huan from the Lieutenant's Mansion. ”

Empress Wei said: "Jiang Huan is insignificant, Your Majesty doesn't care, he will take it away, no matter what, according to his thin and cool heart, it is not easy to remember to protect his subordinates." ”

Da Changqiu bowed down and said: "I can't help it, Di Shan threatened His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his life, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a move to rescue Jiang Huan."

The slave maid heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Huan and Wu Tong at first, saying that the two of them were not successful enough to fail. ”

Empress Wei sighed and said: "Only the king can make such a trade-off, he is still only the prince, and it is too late to win the hearts of the people, at this time, why do you want to refute the subordinates who are loyal and dedicated to him?" ”
