Zhang Ruo looked over and saw that the person who spoke was similar in age to himself, his face was full of righteousness, and he recognized it as Zheng Jian, the new Shangshu of Zuo Minzhidu.

With the further expansion of Shangshutai, most of the functions of Jiuqing were stripped out, and the real power of the yamen gradually shifted, mainly attributed to Shangshutai.

This Zheng Jian's words have a great directionality, and as soon as many people hear him speak, they want to think about whether this is the meaning of Shang Shutai, especially when several princes of the clan and the prince of the county took this matter out for discussion at the court meeting, it is difficult to ensure that it is not to blow the wind in advance and let everyone stand in line.

Zhang Ruo was not afraid, and said: "I'm not afraid that Youzhou is strong, but I'm worried that you think Youzhou is weak and misjudge the situation!" Today's restlessness, where there is weakness, it will lead a group of thieves to covet, the slightest omission, there is rebellion and tearing, the land of Jingxiang because of the emptiness of soldiers and horses, immediately there are thieves to raise troops, the land of Qingxu Dongping County is weak for a while, there are Cao thieves repeatedly, why also? It's all because the two places are weak, and the thieves know that they can break it, so they raise troops and think about the situation in the north, don't you know the key? ”

When he spoke, his tone gradually became heavy, due to the isolation of Shile's forces, the connection between Youzhou and the imperial court became more and more alienated, and the estrangement in this was not only in the transmission of government decrees and personnel appointments, but also in the intelligence and understanding of Youzhou.

"The stone thief is fierce, you have personal experience, the court soldiers and horses have been defeated and retreated in the face of this person, if it were not for the ancestor to contain him, I am afraid that he would have been unable to control the thief's momentum, and the Huns were strong, and they also forced Guanzhong to almost lose, both of which are connected to Youzhou, why do you want to be near and far? Don't attack the secluded place, but seek something else? ”

Zhang Ruo's words silenced the ministers.

The reasoning here is not complicated, but sometimes, political issues cannot be judged by pure logic.

What if he still obeys the withering order?

After all, the majesty of the imperial court is still useful in the eyes of the ministers, and it may be useless against the thieves, but it should be more than enough to force the loyal ministers in the imperial court sequence to submit.

Just as the ruling King of Chu was about to speak, the emperor, who was sitting silently on the dragon chair, suddenly said: "What we are discussing today is a policy for Goguryeo, not a matter of Youzhou, why should the Qing family be entangled in this matter?" Since there is no result from the discussion for the time being, according to me, let's disperse first, and if there is a need afterwards, it is not too late to mention. ”

The king of Chu frowned slightly, and the surrounding ministers all looked at him, and when they saw that the prince nodded slightly, he ordered him to retire and disperse.

Syllable!

When the meeting dispersed, the Emperor returned to his palace and smashed a bottle.

Mo Anjie, who was a little old, came over, arranged for a few people to clean up, and then comforted: "The emperor is angry again? This fire, it's better to collect it first, it's important to take care of the dragon's body. ”

Looking at this eldest companion who has accompanied him since childhood, Emperor Liu Dai did not hide his anger and sorrow at all, and said angrily: "The three kings are in power, and they don't put me in their eyes at all. ”

Liu Bao is the name of the king of Changsha.

The king of Changsha broke through Luoyang at the beginning, forced the scheming King of Jin to death, held the power alone, flew high, and could not be a lifetime, but he was still respectful to the emperor, because he was afraid that others would follow suit, he also wanted to do the policy of cutting the domain, and finally tragedy, but at least on the big picture, the past of Liu Dai, the emperor, was also explained.

"I said that the Manchu Dynasty did not return to the civil and military forces, only the king of Chu nodded, and only then did he receive the order, who is this world?"

After a few angry words, the emperor's anger also disappeared a little, and after the Mo'an Festival, he planned to arrange the next trivial matters, but he didn't expect the emperor to whisper beside him: "The King of Chu is really going to do something to Chen Qing." ”

Mo Anjie was stunned for a moment, his brows were furrowed, but his expression remained unchanged, and he asked quietly: "Your Majesty, even so, you should have a name." ”

"If they want to do it, why do they need any name?" The emperor shook his head, with a mocking expression on his face, "The assassins of Sizhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Yanzhou are already the people of the three kings, and other places are occupied by rebellion, but they can't move, of course they have to hit the head of Youzhou." ”

"The emperor is worried that General Chen will be plotted?" Mo Anjie saw the melancholy on the emperor's face, so he comforted, "Actually, it's not necessary, General Chen was famous all over the world four years ago, and at that time, several princes and county kings were still guarding one acre and three points of land, can it be compared?" Even now, they couldn't even resist Shi Le and the like, so how could they threaten General Chen, who had defeated Wang Jun? And General Chen has always been loyal, in order to serve the emperor, two years ago opened up the sea and land, and sent money, grain and grass and war horses to the imperial court, otherwise the current Chinese army is afraid that some will have to be reduced. ”

"Yes, back then, I must have given Chen Qing the name of the assassin, that is, I know that he is not only my confidant, but also has extraordinary ability, and he can be treated with kindness, righteousness and sincerity, so that he can be effective, and there will be a good reward," the emperor immediately felt that there was a common language, "The money, grain, and horses that the companion said were only one side, and more importantly, Chen Qing was using this method to inform the Manchu Dynasty that he respected me, not the king of Changsha or the king of Chu!" But because of this, those people can't tolerate him! ”

"If they do it, it may not be a bad thing, I can definitely beat them," Mo An nodded and put forward his opinion, "The previous few secret letters came, all said that General Chen was accumulating strength, and when he wanted to make a move, he must first go south, and he could attack the stone thieves from the north and south, with the Youzhou Xiongjun as a basis, the emperor could take real power and reduce the authority of several clans, this is a water mill, don't be in a hurry, now a few people want to move, let them suffer a little loss first......"

Between the words, the old eunuch seemed extremely confident in the Youzhou army.

The emperor frowned and said: "The problem is here, this time the king of Chu wants to replace the position of Youzhou Assassin in the name of the imperial court, if he succeeds, then Chen Qing will not be forced to rise up, otherwise if he loses Youzhou, where is the foundation?" How can I still help? As he spoke, he became angry again, "This is also the uselessness of the emperor, otherwise how could there be such a situation?" ”

Mo Anjie rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is not out of nowhere, the old slave has heard that in ancient times, there was a state pastor who said that the herdsmen were out of their houses, and now they have the position of the governor, who can control the soldiers of many states, with the old slave's shallow view, General Chen's ability, there are some condestinies in governing a state, so simply add a few states to let him control it, anyway, it is not a wild place over there, it is occupied by traitors, could it be that there are still people in the court who oppose it?" Any state pastor and governor will add it to him, and when the name of a thorn is won't be valuable. ”

The emperor has long been not Wuxia Ameng, and when he heard what he meant, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Yes, since it has been a few years of hard work, it should be harvested, I once wanted to have the title of Chen Qing before, but was rejected by the ministers, just wait for an opportunity, and I can get my wish!" ”
