Chapter 347: Wang's Threat
"Five marquis a day, Your Majesty is really generous. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Soon after arriving at the duty house, Zhang Fang was summoned to the back cabinet by Liu Biao, and when he saw the wine utensils on the imperial case, as well as Liu Biao's expression, Zhang Fang knew that this son of heaven was in a bad mood. Recently, there has been no major event in the DPRK and China, and if there is, it can only be the matter of "five marquis in one day".
Liu Biao has been the son of heaven for a few years, but he has not yet developed any majesty, Zhang Fang has stayed with him for a long time, and he doesn't feel any imperial majesty, plus the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers get along quite casually, so they don't have too many scruples when they speak.
Liu Biao smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't repeatedly refused, it would not be the fifth marquis but the sixth marquis, do you believe it?" ”
"Liuhou?" Zhang Anxin was smart and blurted out, "Could it be ...... Is it Gou Zhonglang? ”
Liu Biao smiled bitterly: "It's not him, who else." ”
Gou Zhonglang, well, an old acquaintance, is the former Hedong Governor Post Gou Shen, and he can be regarded as Liu Biao's uncle. Behind the five marquis of the Wang family, there is a general who is pushing his hand, although this Gou Shen has the same mother as Wang Feng, after all, it is not the Wang family, Wang Feng has no need to help him after bringing his five younger brothers. Behind that will be ......
"It's the Queen Mother's meaning." Liu Biao poured a glass of wine with his own hands, gestured to Zhang Fang, and sighed, "You don't know that the Empress Dowager cited the old story of the Tian clan when she was Emperor Xiaowu, and asked me to make my seventh uncle the Marquis of Gaoyang." I said that the matter of Emperor Xiaowu's sealing of the Tian clan has always been criticized by later generations, and the name is not right. How can we do it again? Only then did he block the mouth of the Queen Mother. ”
Zhang Fang thanked him, picked up the wine, and looked at Liu Biao with some sympathy: "Your Majesty must have to compensate for something." ”
Liu Biao sighed: "First added a servant, but the queen mother was still displeased, so she added another lieutenant of Shui Heng." The Empress Dowager was still not satisfied and asked to seal the Inner Marquis. I advise the Queen Mother not to seal too much at once, and it will not be good to seal it after reaching the top. To put it mildly, the Queen Mother finally stopped. ”
Captain Shui Heng, from the name, I can never guess what kind of official it is. may look at Wen Shengyi and think that he is a general of the Han Dynasty's naval army, but in fact, he can't beat the eight poles.
Shui Heng Du Wei, the palm of Lin Yuan, has five Cheng, and the rank is two thousand stones. The subordinate officials include Shanglin, Junlo, Yu Sha, Forbidden Garden, Ji Mao, Zhong Guan, Skills, Six Stables, Nine Official Orders for Distinguishing Copper, and Cheng.
Junyi is to purchase all kinds of utensils for the royal family, not to mention the food supply, the six stables are the six stables of the Son of Heaven, and all kinds of royal horses. The most important of these is Zhong Guanling, who is in charge of coinage. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty collected the power of the princes and kings to mint money and gathered in the center, the five baht in the world came from this.
Look, from the content of the duties of these subordinate officials, we can see what kind of fat shortage this is. Captain Shui Heng, to put it bluntly, is the emperor's personal butler, who manages the money bag for the royal family.
Wang Zhengjun really did not hesitate to go into battle shirtless for the sake of this half-brother, and he didn't want his old face.
Zhang Fang was speechless for a while, what is this called? Who is Gou Shen? A guy who was dismissed for dereliction of duty and misdeeds, relying on nepotism to come to Chang'an to mix up with Zhonglang is already very good, and now he has actually won 2,000 stone officials, and he is still the captain of Shuiheng who is in charge of money bags. He is also in charge of various royal procurement ...... Isn't this the rhythm of a mouse falling into a rice bowl? With Gou Shen's virtue, needless to say, he must be a big rat.
Also, not to mention that Hongyang Marquis Wang Li, he has a bad reputation, and even several of his brothers hate him as a person and don't want to have more dealings with him. has been an official for many years, has not made an inch, and has no achievements, and the corpse is vegetarian. Such a person is also a marquis, where is the oath of Gaozu "no merit and no marquis"? What do you think of those soldiers who guard the frontier but only receive food?
Zhang Fang knew very well that in Dahan and Chang'an, he would never be able to call out to the Wang Group, on the contrary, the Wang Group had the strength to fight him. From his mission to his return to Chang'an, Wang Feng secretly gave him a lot of stumbling blocks. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Feng had just come to power, he was fledgling, and his old rival Wang Shang had elbowed him, and the Son of Heaven Liu Biao would have protected him in many ways...... Zhang Fang, who was thousands of miles away, had already been drowned out by many slanders and then taken down.
Today, Wang's Group's market has skyrocketed. If it goes on like this, it won't take a few years, and most of the Han Dynasty will be owned by the Wang family. At that time, even if a relative and a nobleman like Zhang Fang would crush him without blinking. Isn't that the historical prime minister Wang Shang like this? is also a veteran aristocrat and a relative, who was suppressed by Wang Feng and lost his official position, vomited blood and died.
What Zhang Fang has to do now is to pay close attention to the development of Star City, his own territory, externally, and support him internally, and even unite with Prime Minister Wang Shang to fight against Wang Feng and buy more time for himself.
Judging from Liu Biao's performance, this son of heaven is also a little dissatisfied with the fact that Wang's market is rising too fast, which puts him in danger of being set aside.
Zhang Fang said tentatively: "Is the prime minister's family also going to be a marquis?" “
Liu Yu'er shook his head, pointed to a piece of music on the case, and said: "This is the prime minister's appointment today, you can take a look." ”
Liu Biao said that if he can watch it, then it is not an important piece of music, and he can read it privately.
Zhang Fang took it and looked at it for a while, it was really nothing important, it was a very ordinary deployment of materials. But Liu Biao told himself to see, he must have a purpose, what is it?
Zhang Fang looked at it carefully several times, and with the level he had honed in Star Picking City, he could confirm that there was no problem with the data and deployment of these materials. So, what's the problem? Zhang Fang frowned and pondered.
Liu Biao saw it in his eyes and laughed: "Don't think about it, you can't think of it." There is nothing to do, it's very ordinary. However, I would like to praise the prime minister fiercely, saying that this performance is excellent. Hahaha! Liu Biao laughed heartily and drank all the wine.
Zhang Fang suddenly understood, and couldn't help but stroke his palm and laugh, I see. Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger! Indeed, the Son of Heaven does not need to be too obvious, as long as he releases his attitude a little. This is the art of the emperor, and it seems that he still has a lot to learn.
Early the next morning, when the rare winter sunshine shone into the palace, where Zhang Fang and Liu Biao sat last night, there was only a mess of cups and plates, and the two of them were gone.
When a few palace maids were cleaning up, a long scream came from outside the hall: "The queen mother has arrived." ”
The palace maids hurriedly put down their work and knelt on the ground.
With a crisp sound of footsteps from far and near, a graceful and luxurious woman wearing a backlight appeared in front of the palace gate. The long shadow she cast on the ground shrouded the palace maid who shivered like a quail.
The Queen Mother, Wang Zhengjun
The scene in front of him obviously made Wang Zhengjun quite uncertain: "What about the emperor? Of course, she didn't ask these palace maids, with the status of this low-level palace person, she was not worthy of knowing the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven. She asked Lu Qi, the close attendant of the Son of Heaven who was following behind her.
Lu Qi had a bitter face, and he was Ai.
Wang Zhengjun said coldly: "Today is not a great dynasty, and the Xuan Room does not see the emperor sitting in the court, where will he go?" Shanglin Lion and Tiger Park or Kunming Lake boating? ”
Lu Qi wiped his forehead with a wave, but he was sweating in the cold weather, shrunk his neck, and said with difficulty: "Back to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Marquis of Fuping...... I went to Princess Yang's mansion ......"
Wang Zhengjun's eyes lit up with a needle-like light. (To be continued.) )
