Yizhou Mu Liu Yan proposed to add the surname Liu Wang, which was supported by Hu Miao and others.

After a fierce court debate, although it failed to pass, the process during the process was still greatly beyond Liu Mang's expectations.

Liu Mang originally thought that Liu Yan's proposal of this matter would inevitably be opposed by most courtiers.

But in fact, those who oppose this matter only have a slight advantage over those who support it. Most of the courtiers took a wait-and-see attitude and did not express their position clearly.

Hu Miao and others, with the support of Yuan Shu and other princes behind them, were very active in the court.

Although Liu Mang did not participate in the debate, he was also very angry when he watched their performance jumping up and down.

Liu Mang felt that it was the collusion of Hu Miao's group that caused many courtiers to keep silent.

When he returned to General Wei's Mansion and saw Du Ruhui, Liu Mang had a gloomy face and complained. "Sooner or later, I found an opportunity to clear this group of guys from the court."

Seeing Du Ru smiling and silent, Liu Mang knew that he didn't agree with his thoughts. He took a sip of water and beckoned him to sit down. "Keming has something to say, just say it."

"The subordinates just think that the problems in the court are not so troublesome."

"Haven't you seen the faces of Hu Miao's group of guys, making nonsense, and quoting scriptures!"

Du Ruhui did not change his smile. "His subordinates only know that all people live in the world, and each has a role. The peddlers and pawns are like this, and so are the courtiers. ”

"But Hu Miao's gang of people dig all kinds of pits and traps, and their role is just to speak for Liu Yan and Yuan Shu!"

"Isn't that great?"

"Huh?" Liu Mang frowned and stared at Du Ruhui. Faintly, it seems to have some understanding. "Keming, you are the belly of the central part of the house, don't worry, just say it."

Du Ruhui poured water for Liu Mang, and said with a smile: "The court has always been a place of struggle and a place of right and wrong. Taishi Gongyun, the world is bustling. It's all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The thing it refers to is the matter of colonization, but the court is bustling with people, why is it not the case? ”

Liu Mang nodded. "yes. The fierce arguments of the ministers are nothing more than to compete for the interests of the princes' families, which is no different from mercenary merchants. ”

"Yes, yes. Driven by interests, there are disputes. And the conflict of interests of the imperial court is the most complicated. Hundred officials of the imperial court. There are a hundred minds. In many cases, they support a proposal, not for their own benefit, but for the sake of getting others to agree with their proposal in the future. ”

"Yes, so we have to find a way to clear Hu Miao and others out of the court, so that they don't pick on the inside and make waves."

Du Ruhui smiled silently, obviously disapproving of Liu Mang's approach.

"How?"

"Lord, things gather like people, people are divided into groups, and there are crowds. Gang up. Not to mention the distance, even in our state army, there is also a relationship between the generals. ”

When Du Ruhui said this, Liu Mang couldn't help but think of the quarrel between Qilang and Gao two days ago, and nodded helplessly. "yes, people are really troublesome. Oh, Keming, you go on. ”

"When the court first fell into Anyi, the courtiers had different thoughts. That's normal. The ministers of the DPRK and China have been in contact with each other in solidarity, which has been unavoidable for thousands of years. My lord is ranked in the ninth secretary, and I have heard about government affairs. Sometimes, too. ”

Liu Mang nodded, it was true. Sometimes, for the smooth implementation of some policies, Liu Mang also needs to contact some courtiers who are not too close to him to win their support.

Du Ruhui continued: "It is inevitable that the courtiers will gang up. Even if Hu Miao is cleared. There will also be Wang Miao and Li Miao who will come out to dig pits and set up traps, what can the lord do? ”

"Oh......" Liu Mang nodded slowly, "Keming means that because there are people like Hu Miao in the imperial court, with them as opposition, we can win over a group of centrists." And even if Hu Miao is cleared of the court, the struggle in the court will never stop, and the common opponents are gone, and those centrists who could have been wooed may become our opponents. ”

"Yes! Hu Miao and others are not only opponents, but also the link between us and other factions. ”

"Got it, got it!" After Du Ruhui's enlightenment, the depression in Liu Mang's heart dissipated instantly.

A simple exchange raised Liu Mang's understanding of political struggle to another level.

Opponents are not only used to fight, but also can be used!

……

Yuan Shu supported Liu's proposal to be crowned king, and his heart was unpredictable.

As a countermeasure, in order to disintegrate the forces of Yuan Shu. Liu Mang played the imperial court and played Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, who was a rebellious general.

The Son of Heaven took Sun Jian's dedication to the country and played it accurately.

……

The affairs of the court, untie the knot. But Liu Mang still has one more thing to worry about.

Wan'er is about to give birth, but she really doesn't look like a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.

Not to mention the weight gain, the body temperature is also lower than that of other pregnant women.

Liu Mang was really worried, so he urgently transferred Li Shizhen to Anyi.

Li Shizhen saw Jia Siqian in Jiwang Mountain, prescribed medicine, asked him to take medicine on time to recuperate, and hurried to Anyi.

After asking Wan'er in detail about her pregnancy reaction, eating and sleeping, and giving Wan'er the left and right pulses, Li Shizhen comforted Liu Mang easily: "General Wei doesn't need to be anxious, people's physical signs are different." If the lady is not abnormal, her constitution is too good. As long as you wait for a few days, General Wei can add a thousand gold girls. ”

Wan'er liked her daughter the most, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? Is it a daughter? ”

"Women have more than enough yin, so the pulse is often greater than the right. As the lady conceives, there is no doubt that it will be a girl. ”

"Wow, that's great!" Wan'er was happy, and begged Liu Mang: "Young master, my daughter's name, is it okay for Wan'er to pick it up?" ”

"Okay, as long as Wan'er likes it, it's fine."

……

Although Li Shizhen was in charge, Liu Mang couldn't help but be nervous.

On the day of Wuzi in the second month of the year of Guiyou, the spring equinox, and at the time of Ding Si, Shangguan Wan'er gave birth to a daughter.

This girl was born, she cried slightly, and her pink little face that could be broken by blowing was extremely high and cold and arrogant.

The aroma overflows in the room, like mint and cool.

Wan'er named her daughter "Bing", and her milk name was Mint.

The mother and daughter are safe, and everyone in the house is happy.

The ministers of the court and the central government came to congratulate one after another.

Even Hu Miao, Li Zhen and others, who had always been at odds with Liu Mang, saw Liu Mang in the court and congratulated them.

Court, that's it.

Fighting, openly and secretly, never stopped.

The polite greeting, just to show a gesture, is just a pause before the next fight.

……

In the spring, everything recovers.

And the state began to make various preparations.

Pei Xiu has already drawn most of the map of Hedong, and below, he will focus on drawing a map along the Yellow River from Shaanxi County to Yinpingyin, Henan. Liu Mang ordered Shi Jin to lead a team of elite soldiers, and Jiang Ping accompanied him in a boat to protect Pei Xiu strictly.

At the same time, he ordered Hongnong Deng Qiang, Shaanxi County Fu Youde, Dongyuan Tan Daoji, and Gaodu Xu Huang to step up targeted training and wait for fighters.

It's not just the states that are preparing to move, intelligence shows that the princes everywhere are ready to move.

The princes are divided, and everyone wants to do it, but no one dares to do it easily.

Like a sting insect waiting for spring thunder, all the princes are waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity is quietly coming...... (To be continued.) )
