Chapter 140: Careful Thinking
Zhang Zai is a foreign minister, far away from the imperial court, and his family is not a big family, so it is naturally impossible to easily know the name of Da He He, the only explanation is that Zhang Zai has either really seen a member of Da He He, or Zhang Zai was originally a member of Da He He.

"I don't know if the person who told the news is in the army?" Hearing that Da He He was still running, Emperor Xian couldn't help but think, now he doesn't have a trace of direct power in his hands, if he can control this intelligence organization in his hands......
Zhang Zai pretended to be sorry and said: "Alas, it's a shame to say that when this person arrived in Bingzhou, he was already exhausted, and after telling His Majesty's situation, he didn't have time to treat him, and he died of exhaustion." ”
Although I don't know how credible Zhang Zai's words are, Emperor Xian was still shocked when he heard it.
"What!"
Hearing that the only clue of Da He was also broken, Emperor Xian felt that the road ahead was confused, as if the last hope had also been dashed.
Yang Biao on the side saw Emperor Xian's face lost, and he was not sure how much truth there was in Zhang Zai's words, but there was no evidence, so he could only believe Zhang Zai temporarily.
So Yang Biao persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be disappointed, since the big one is still running, it means that there are still people presiding, maybe when you will find Your Majesty and explain the reason." ”
"I hope so." At this time, Emperor Xian, like a child who has lost his beloved toy, looks lost, and sits on the cushion with his head down.
While they were talking, a eunuch came to report that the feast had been prepared, and the ministers were invited to eat.
I have to say that at a young age, Emperor Xian will win people's hearts, and some small actions are continuous, not only Zhang Zai's position is very close to Emperor Xian, even Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun also have seats, and they are also among the ministers, not the end.
The three of them glanced at each other, and Zhang Zai thanked him directly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." ”
The means of offering the emperor down, although it may not be very clever, but it is very useful, before Zhang Zai saw a little gratitude and emotion in Zhao Yun's eyes.
After everyone sat down, a maid poured water and wine for everyone, and the emperor raised his glass directly, saying: "Thank you Zhang Qing this time, I sent the food that the court needs the most, and solved my urgent need. ”
Zhang Zai pursed his lips secretly and said: "As Hanchen, it is natural for us to share worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, and as for the reward, we dare not ask for extravagance. ”
"Aiqing has made a great contribution, and the reward should be awarded, huh...... Zhang Qing was promoted to the general of Zhenbei and defended the northern frontier for me. ”
Then Emperor Xian looked at Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng, and said to Zhang Zai: "Zhang Qing, now that the army is in chaos, and there is a lack of generals around me, I don't know if I can transfer the two generals Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun to my side as a guard captain and be responsible for the security of the palace." ”
After Zhang Zai heard this, his face turned cold, he didn't expect Emperor Xian to make such a request in public, of course he would not agree, but if he refused directly, it would be inappropriate, and the atmosphere in the room would no longer have the same harmony as before.
The ministers also have different thoughts, although they are down, but from the bottom of their hearts they don't want Zhang Zai to cross his feet in the palace, many ministers who are active in their hearts, seeing Zhang Zai's face turned cold, it seems that they will not let the two of them enter the palace, so they have an expression of watching the play, wondering how Zhang Zai will respond.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate." Before Zhang Zai could refuse, Yang Biao on the side directly rejected the proposal to offer the emperor.
The selection of palace guards is extremely strict and demanding, not to mention the generals, even if the palace is in chaos now, it is not easy for an unknown person to serve as a general, even if it is a general of the Northern Army.
"Why?" Emperor Xian was displeased, his proposal was vetoed by Yang Biao several times, even if Yang Biao saved his life several times, Emperor Xian did not give him a good face.
In his opinion, everything in this world should be his final say, and as long as the courtiers obey his arrangement, they will not allow others to oppose it.
Of course, it may also be that Zhang Zai behaved like he was loyal to the Han family, so that Emperor Xian found the pleasure of being an emperor, thinking that no matter what he arranged, Zhang Zai would obey, and completely forgot about his previous life under the Xiliang people.
"Your Majesty, there are strict standards for the selection of palace guards, and if Your Majesty wants to conquer, you need to conduct strict review, besides, the two of them are important generals of the Northern Army, and rash recruitment may cause instability in the border army." Yang Biao persuaded bitterly.
He saw the coldness in Zhang Zai's eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart that Emperor Xian was young and immature, and before Zhang Zai returned to his heart, he wanted to split his forces.
To deal with a feudal official like Zhang Zai, he can only slowly try to win over Zhang Zai, and then divide his subordinates, and slowly eliminate his influence in the army, so as to recover military power.
Zhang Zai on the side saw Yang Biao open his mouth to refuse for himself, and he was also a little relieved, he was really afraid that if he refused directly, everyone in the court would attack him, and in history, this group of ministers did not find trouble with Cao Cao.
With what Yang Biao said before, if he wants to refuse, he will have enough buffer, of course, he is not afraid of offending Emperor Xian, but this matter is related to some of his future layouts, so he can only endure it now.
"Your Majesty, Lord Taiwei is reasonable, the guard must be served by His Majesty's confidants, why not wait for Your Majesty to arrive in Luoyang, and then recruit, if Your Majesty wants the two of them again, the minister will definitely not obstruct it."
Zhang Zai glanced at the two, and Luo Cheng bowed down and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, it's just that the last general is the general of the Northern Army, and he is entangled in military affairs, even if he wants to protect the palace, he needs to go back to the state to hand over the defense affairs first, and please forgive me." ”
"Yes, as a border army, once the generals don't have time to take over the defense, I'm afraid it will be invaded by foreign races, and the people will be killed or injured, not by Mingjun." This is what Yang Biao and other old ministers can say, and if they were someone else, they would have been hit by the golden gourd a long time ago.
Emperor Xian was still a little hesitant, he liked Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun very much in his heart, and he didn't want to give up the opportunity in front of him, so he turned his head to look at the other courtiers.
"What do you think?"
"The last general agrees with the captain." Hearing Emperor Xian ask their opinions, Yang Feng and Li Le, who were sitting under Zhang Zai, bowed at the same time.
They couldn't wait for Zhang Zai to leave immediately, and of course they wouldn't let Zhang Zai's generals serve as guards.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
……
Emperor Xian saw that all the courtiers were opposed, and suddenly he lost his opinion, so he never mentioned the matter again.
Harmony continued to be restored in the lobby.
But the emperor always feels angry in his heart, he doesn't vomit or feel unhappy, he is the emperor, why is he restricted by his courtiers everywhere, shouldn't the emperor do whatever he wants, holding the power of life and death for everyone.
Looking at Zhang Zai, who was getting along with the ministers of the court and the central government on the seat, Emperor Xian couldn't help but have strange thoughts.
