(PS: The incomparable grievances...... Are you looking at the protagonist or the story? Isn't the story tight enough?! In the past, some people said that my book was too procrastinating, but now it is not procrastinating, but they also say that the protagonist is too lazy, and now the protagonist I write is not lazy, and everyone thinks that Shen Yun is too aggrieved......

Whew, everyone, it's hard to do it in the next place! There is always a process to the strength of the protagonist, and even if it is super powerful, there must be obstacles and repetitions.

There are mountain people outside the mountain, this is the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors!

I can't write or read the kind of book that is invincible in the world as soon as it comes out! So I beg you to give me some time, so that Zai Xia can become stronger, and the protagonist will be stronger, and make the duel between the whole Han and Rome more exciting, okay? ）

…………………… Dividing line ........................

"The one who killed my father is the current queen mother???!!!"

That is, Shen Yun has gone through two lives, so he still has to hold his breath, otherwise he would have jumped up a long time ago.

There's no way, the words of the father-in-law are too amazing. He told Shen Yun that Emperor Liu Ju had actually known the Marquis of Bohai for a long time and had a close relationship.

Thirty years ago, Shen Mu went to school at the Imperial University, and at that time he met Liu Ju, who also studied at the Imperial University.

When the Holy Ancestor was reformed, it was clearly stipulated that every prince must pass the entrance examination like an ordinary child, elementary school, middle school, and then university. If you are unable to pass the entrance examination to enter secondary school or university, you must serve in the military. This also became one of the criteria for later emperors to choose successors. There were also many noble royal sons in the Imperial Army.

After the age of eighteen, all imperial men had to come out of their own households, and the prince was no exception. However, unlike ordinary children, the prince can obtain the title of baron after a single household, and can withdraw some money from the Imperial Bank every month.

Of course, when these princes were studying at the Imperial University or serving in the army, their identities were kept strictly secret. Except for the emperor's sacrificial wine or army generals, even the instructors and instructors of the sect did not know their identities.

As a prince, it is strictly forbidden to reveal his identity to anyone, including his best friends and siblings, otherwise it will be regarded as automatically giving up his royal status! In addition to avoiding the prince's privileges because of their status, this rule is more about protecting their own safety.

The procuratorate will also strictly supervise this point, once there is a prince violation, it will definitely play the emperor and the cabinet--- generally speaking, at this time, other princes will also speak one after another, after all, this is a good opportunity to get rid of competitors!

It is precisely such a strict and perverted rule that the prince who has not been studying or in the army for five hundred years is known. They will all have another identity arranged by the Feather Forest Secret Guard. Even if they fight with others until their noses and faces are swollen, or they are beaten by instructors and their heads are bleeding, they must not say anything.

From this point alone, the descendants of the duke and marquis' family are much more relaxed.

At that time, Emperor Han Lie had only one prince, and no one would have thought that this only prince would also study at the Imperial University and share a dormitory with himself.

Shen Mu and Liu Ju are in the same dormitory, and there are two other people besides them--- Zhang Xin, the son of Duke Hu, and Liu Ke, the son of Duke Yi! These two were one of the four generalissimos of the later empire!

The relationship between these four people is very good. However, relatively speaking, Liu Ju and Shen Mu have a better relationship. Because Shen Mu is the second son of the Marquis of Bohai, not the prince, he may be an official or a business in the future, and Zhang Xin and Liu Ke, who are the princes, are destined to be the emperor's courtiers in the future, so Liu Ju is not too enthusiastic about them.

At that time, Liu Ju faintly had the demeanor of a leader, paying attention to his words and deeds everywhere, not being close to others, and never resenting others.

However, in this process, Shen Mu's friendship with Zhang Xin and Liu Ke developed rapidly. An incident that happened later strengthened this friendship with classmates. This incident is the murder of Shen Chong, the prince of the Marquis of Bohai, in Taiyuan Mansion!

At that time, Liu Ju, Shen Mu, Zhang Xin, and Liu Ke took the opportunity of the New Year to visit Taiyuan Mansion. As a result, when they went to the Jin Temple to worship Ji Jin, the crown prince of Zhou Ling, they met Shen Chong, who also came here to play, and it is said that there was a quarrel. The next day, Shen Chong was killed. So Shen Mu was taken by Yin Suo, the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, and thought that he had bought the murderer to kill his eldest brother.

At the time, the incident was a national sensation. There is no way, the three aspects of the royal family, Hu Gong, and Yi Gong are all involved. It's impossible not to make a splash.

In this matter, Zhang Xin and Liu Ke are absolutely on Shen Mu's side, they stand up, speak boldly and bluntly during the trial of the three divisions, and say, "If Shen Mu is guilty, then we are also complicit", and forcefully involved the Hu Gong family and the Yigong family, the purpose is to protect Shen Mu!

And Liu Ju, who is the crown prince, also stood up this time and vouched for the position of the crown prince to prove Shen Mu's innocence! This incident made Emperor Han Lie very angry, thinking that Liu Ju was playing with the royal dignity, and even punished him for thinking about it in the palace for three months. However, Shen Mu finally cleared his suspicion, and ten years later, he successfully inherited the title of Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty.

Later, Emperor Han Lie's head suddenly fell ill and he was unable to govern. Liu Ju began to appear in front of everyone as the crown prince. In the early morning of the third day of the first month of the Han Yuan Dynasty in 980, Emperor Han Lie suddenly died!

According to the ancestral system, on the day the emperor died, the crown prince would ascend the throne. A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, and that's how it is said.

But because Emperor Han Lie died on the third day of the first lunar month, the crown prince Liu Ju had already set off on the second day of the first month to replace the seriously ill Emperor Han Lie and go to Chang'an to worship the royal ancestors.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, it only takes one day to get a fast horse. This time and again, the crown prince will not be able to return from Chang'an to Luoyang to ascend the throne on the fifth day of the first month at the earliest. So during this time, the state affairs were temporarily controlled by Dou Zizuo, the empress of Emperor Han Lie.

But unexpectedly, on the day that Liu Ju set off from Chang'an to return to Kyoto, Dou Zizuo, who was already the queen mother, ordered the crown prince's biological mother, Concubine E, to be hanged and buried!

By the time Liu Ju returned to the palace in a hurry, his loving mother's face was already bruised, and her cold breath was gone!

At that time, he was stunned on the spot, and he didn't even hear the sound of the eunuch next to him calling him to change his clothes and holding the enthronement ceremony......

…………………… Dividing line ........................

"The emperor has a very good relationship with his mother?" Shen Yun asked.

"Well, very good. Originally, the prince would be taken care of by a wet nurse when he was young, but Concubine E insisted on raising the child herself. Originally, Concubine E was in good health, and she was a woman who liked sword dancing like the queen mother back then, but since she gave birth to the prince, she neglected her own conditioning, but she has become weaker and weaker. Especially after the first emperor fell seriously ill, Concubine E's body became even weaker. Even if Queen Dou didn't give the order to kill her, it would be difficult for Concubine E to survive that year!

Alas, how sad Your Majesty is, you are the king of a country, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but you can't even protect your seriously ill mother! His heart and his feelings are simply indignant! Gongfu said hatefully.

"In that case, why not just let her disappear?" Shen Yun's language became more and more inferior, and there was a little coldness in his voice.

It was she who killed her father, and she wanted to kill herself! Although she didn't know what the reason was, she had already made Shen Yun intolerable for doing so! Either she dies or I die, there is no advance or retreat, fight!

Gongfu glanced at Shen Yun: "Your Majesty misses your mother, so don't mention your mother in front of Your Majesty tomorrow." Don't forget! ”

Shen Yun saw that he avoided his previous words and did not answer, but instead pulled it to this side, so he did not continue to say more.

In fact, he also knows that what he says is nonsense. If the emperor could really move the queen mother, would he wait until now? He's not stupid!

Perhaps my father should have thought of this when he first entered Beijing, but why did he come to Kyoto? Isn't he afraid that the old woman will be bad for him?

Shen Yun was puzzled.

Gongfu explained Shen Yun's doubts: "Above this court is the most strange and unpredictable place. When everyone is fighting for something, it's just a façade...... Maybe you remember why we first met. ”

"Of course, Oi Chengjun took a fancy to my article "Refuting the Great Han's Declaration of War on Rome"! You're a staunch anti-war activist! Shen Yun said.

Gongfu Xiao smiled bitterly: "Anti-war faction? Oh, good word! Yes, I was indeed an anti-war activist. Even your father is an anti-war faction. To outsiders, it may seem that we are too timid to declare war on Rome, but this is not the case. ”

Shen Yun nodded: "Well, I understand that the main peacemaker may not be cowardly, and the main fighter may not be brave." It's just a different picture! ”

Gongfu Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said with a smile: "Yes, the main peacemaker may not be cowardly, and the main fighter may not be brave." Do you know what we are trying to do and what those main fighters are planning? ”

Shen Yun thought for a while: "What people want is just the word power and wealth. I don't think Oi Chengjun will be an exception. However, since it is a war, and the military power is in the hands of Yigong and Hu Gong, I assert that what Ai Chengjun is trying to do this time is wealth, and he has a great fortune in the whole empire! ”

Gongfu Xiao laughed, laughed and said that tears were about to come out, and he bowed three times in a row in the direction of Shen Mulingtang, and shouted loudly: "Brother Qingquan, you have given birth to a good son!" If you have knowledge under the spring, you should also look away! ”

"Oi Cheng-kun?" Shen Yun called out.

Gongfu smiled and said to Shen Yun: "Yes, you are right. This war and the struggle is indeed a struggle for financial power. The empire has always been in charge of the national finances separately by the Imperial Bank and the Ministry of Households, so that the financial power cannot be unified, which will inevitably lead to the instability of the country's economic foundation.

The Imperial Bank is largely a private property of the royal family, and its influence is very heavy, and with the boom of Imperial commerce, the financial resources involved in the Imperial Bank have also increased, and now it has reached the point where it can influence the decisions of the Empire! However, due to the intervention of the Imperial Bank, the annual income of the household department is becoming scarce day by day. To tell you the truth, the household department has been unable to make ends meet for fifteen consecutive years, and it has only relied on credit with the Imperial Bank to get through the difficulties!

Since Prime Minister Yuwen became the first assistant, he has been arguing with the Imperial Bank every year about this interest and repayment, and he is annoyed by the early growth of gray hair and the pain. At the beginning of the year, the Imperial Bank proposed that the Ministry of Households should use the land endowment for the next 50 years as collateral, and the Imperial Bank would give the Ministry of Households free support for the next 15 years. He also proposed to use 100 million salt and iron to repay the interest owed to the Imperial Bank on credit by the Ministry of Household Affairs for the past fifteen years!

Wouldn't this mean that the household department became the household department of the Imperial Bank? Prime Minister Yuwen naturally did not allow it. and severely reprimanded Lan Dian, the main book of the Imperial Bank. And with the respect of the first assistant, he was dismissed from the part-time job of Landian Tobu Langzhong.

But it didn't take long for the Huns to knock on the border. At the beginning of this year, the Xiongnu roared south from the far north, swept Beihaeju, and approached Silla Duxin and other places. Yigong and Hu Gong led their troops out and repelled the Xiongnu attack. And the captured prisoners of war were found with weapons and blades provided by the Romans, so those who did not know the difficulties of the empire clamored to declare war on Rome!

Hmph, this battle is easy to declare? Once war is declared, troops must be dispatched, and the dispatch of troops requires logistics, baggage, and compensation if a soldier dies in battle...... The food needed for a month for an army of 10,000 would cost more than a million gold coins, not to mention how many imperial troops would need to be mobilized to declare war with Rome, and how much time it would take! The two highnesses Yi and Hu only dispatched two first-class legions, and the household department had already even advanced next year's Tianfu, and if the war expanded, the empire would not dare to imagine.

And those main battle fanatics are eager to let the Imperial Bank swallow up the household department, so as to fulfill their ulterior motives! It's just a bunch of national silverfish, deserve to kill, deserve to kill, deserve to kill!! ”

The more Gongfu Xiao spoke, the more anxious he became, the faster he spoke, and then he looked terrible!

Shen Yun finally understood, it turned out that Gongfu Xiao and his father opposed the declaration of war not because they were afraid that they would not be able to defeat Rome, but because they simply did not have that much money to supply the war. And now it seems that Hu Gong and Yi Gong are also against the war, so the two marshals will personally lead the troops to fight the Xiongnu, and the army used is not much, and it is not too far out of the country, so it can barely support it by relying on the supply of the household department and the locality.

The reason why the father risked his death to enter the capital to pay homage to the saint is also sufficient, Hu Gong and Yi Gong are not in the court, and the Marquis of Bohai represents the attitude of the two best friends. At this time, he should stand up and show his attitude to the civil and military officials, which is equivalent to showing the attitude of the military to the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, so that they also have a measure in their hearts!

However, before he could stand on top of the court to express his position, he had already been eliminated by the main battle faction with a borrowed knife killing scheme. Is this the sorrow of this era, or the sorrow of my father alone?

Shen Yun sighed faintly, this brand-new empire created by the predecessors of the Han Holy Ancestor seemed to have exhausted all its energy after five hundred years of wind and rain, just like a slow carriage driving on a rugged mountain road, not knowing when it would slip out into the abyss...... If the Holy Ancestor has knowledge, what feelings will he have?

"He Zeng remembers, Jin Ge Iron Horse sleeps on the couch. Shocking dreams, but it is a dream of the world! Shen Yun groaned softly.

At this time, I suddenly heard a voice from outside the room.

"Gongfu Xiao, where is my nephew Shen Yun? Bring it out to the old man, or I'll tear your bad face! ”

The voice is rough and powerful, containing majesty, like a roaring lion.

Shen Yun was stunned, but Gongfu Xiao's face suddenly changed, first shocked, then ecstatic, before Shen Yun could ask, he had already taken the first step to open the door and shouted outside: "His Royal Highness Gong Hu, Gongfu Xiao is here!" Your nephew is too! ”
