Liu Zhang watched this scene quietly, and it was obvious that the previous matter was not over, and the most important thing was that there was one more important person in the frontier who supported the decreasing title.

Late at night, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying sat together, with the documents submitted by the frontier requesting a reduction of the title on the table.

"Yueying, what do you think of the sheep head case that happened before?"

Huang Yueying knew that Liu Zhang didn't want to ask this, but she still replied: "The matter is almost clear, it is Xu Jing who blames Cao Chong, and it is Huang Quan who blames the eldest prince, but Huang Quan has no handle left, and there is no way to do it."

In addition, Your Majesty, do you think that the book made in the Nine Grades is really the Great Prince's? ”

"Probably not, Xun'er seems tolerant of people, but he is not for the world, on the contrary, I know that he is for the New Deal, but he is not in favor of so many killings.

If you want to say that he wants to rule the country with the Nine Grades of Zhongzheng, I won't believe it. ”

"That's right, Huang Quan didn't leave a handle, that's because everyone didn't grasp a key point, how did the head of the sheep go to the eldest prince's room.

Yueying felt that how the book in Jiupin Zhongzheng System got in, how the sheep head got in, and to catch Huang Quan's handle, just find out whose book it is.

Although we don't prohibit books, but when the emperor just ascended the throne and determined the new policy, there was no workshop to print the books made in the nine products.

So the other party used Chen Qun's real copy.

But there are not many people who can get access to the real thing.

First, you need to be able to enter Xun'er's room. Second. To be able to get Chen Qun's real copy. As long as we investigate, we will definitely be able to find out, and as long as we find out, Huang Quan's handle will not be able to escape. ”

"Actually, Yueying, you've already guessed who it is, haven't you?" Liu Zhang asked in a deep voice, but Huang Yueying did not answer. Liu Zhang let out a long breath and suddenly said very lonely: "Yueying, I'm really tired, do you know?" ”

Huang Yueying's expression was gloomy, she knew that Liu Zhang knew everything, but she didn't want to say it, she didn't want to say it.

"I'm not a murderer, but I've killed so many people, including so many innocents.

On the way to the hegemony, I had to play a cold-blooded and ruthless person. He killed his brother and exiled his wife and children.

obviously didn't want Yue'er to be sad. still killed more than 100 members of the Huang family, including Yue'er's father.

And now, I finally won the world, and others think that I, Liu Zhang, have achieved great achievements, only I know that I have completed the first step.

But I never thought that the second step would be so difficult to cross.

Watching his ministers fight endlessly for fame and fortune, I can comfort myself that this is human nature, and no one is a sage.

I know that Huang Quan blames Xun'er, I know that he is for the throne of Kang'er and for the inheritance of the Huang family. I really don't want to kill another batch and kill Huang Quan.

How sad will Yue'er be? Even if it wasn't for Yue'er, Huang Quan was also a veteran of the Sichuan Army, and my Liu Zhang's great cause couldn't do without him, how could I bear to do it?

I know that now that the decreasing titles have been promulgated, those civil and military officers are deferential on the surface, but in fact, they are extremely dissatisfied in their hearts.

I know that the bullshit nine products in the positive system are not followed, but Yueying, do you know? Xun'er disappointed me a lot, for the sake of a Cao Chong, he actually accepted a gift from a contractor like that.

For the sake of a Cao Chong, he can stand up and speak in the court.

For the sake of a Cao Chong, he put himself in like this, and was framed again and again, and he was still indifferent.

He is a child of the emperor's family, he wrote that kind of governing concept, how did he face the tiger and wolf ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?

I want to hand over the country to him, but even if there is no Jiupin Zhongzheng system, how can I, Liu Zhang, hand over this huge world to him who is 'amorous and multi-righteous'? Can he afford it? ”

Huang Yueying listened quietly and didn't say a word.

"I also know that it is Xun'er who was framed by Kang'er, Yueying, what do you think I can do? What can you do if you tell me? Could it be that the emperor's family really has to be so ruthless?

I, Liu Zhang, have paid enough for a new deal, do I have to throw away even the most basic things of a person? I've had enough, Yueying. ”

Liu Zhang buried his head, slowly grasped a document in his hand, and suddenly swept all the documents on the table to the ground: "And Wei Yan, he didn't even have a paperwork, what does he want to do?" Do you have to force me to make a move and cut him like Liu Bang? ”

With a palm on the table, Liu Zhang suddenly felt as if his strength had been drained, and at this moment, Liu Zhang had a feeling that he was about to collapse.

There have been so many hardships and obstacles, no matter how powerful the enemy is, Liu Zhang has never felt this way, but the naked reality of Liu Kang framing Liu Xun is in front of him.

Liu Zhang suddenly found that he was still so fragile.

"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, this is your last test." After a long time, Huang Yueying said in a deep voice, and she didn't use the title of "emperor", she just knew that only by crossing this hurdle could Liu Zhang achieve the real emperor's cause.

After all, it is not easy to overthrow an era.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Budo asks to see the driver."

"Nope."

"Let him in, maybe he didn't come to intercede for Liu Xun." Huang Yueying said that now everyone knows that Liu Xun has been snubbed because of the matter of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and it is easy to think that Zhou Budo is coming now to save Liu Xun's position in Liu Zhang's heart.

After a while, Zhou Budo walked in and saluted Liu Zhang very rarely.

"If you're here to defend Xun'er, go down." Liu Zhang had already recovered his cold expression and said lightly.

"I don't doubt that I am here to solve the troubles for Your Majesty, and I don't doubt that Your Majesty must be in a mess now, but in fact, if you are facing a mess in front of you, you will solve it all with one knife."

Huang Yueying and Liu Zhang can analyze those things, Zhou Budo can naturally do it, Liu Kang is very smart, but this kind of cleverness is too tender compared to Zhou Budo Cao Chong, not to mention that Liu Kang is only eight years old, how can the plan he came up with hide from Zhou Budo and Cao Chong.

Although Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying didn't say it, Zhou Budo knew that Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying knew it. That's why Liu Zhang is facing trouble.

"What bother, make it clear."

"Decreasing titles were announced today. No minister dared to object. But that kind of dissatisfaction. Obviously, in fact, open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are the most difficult to defend.

Now because Xu Jing and others are detained, the ministers dare not openly oppose it, but my Han people, who doesn't want to honor the ancestors and become a star in the history of the family?

Now the declining titles have clearly eclipsed their stars, and they are too far from what they had expected. You must know that they are bent on fame and fame, and they are bent on becoming kings and lords.

Now that they are deprived of this power, and they rely on deterrence, they use Xu Jing to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, how can they not rebound, if this is consumed, it will do great harm to the Dahan Foundation. ”

"What else?" Liu Zhang said casually.

"The civil officials are protracted, and I don't know about the military generals, Your Majesty said that the reduction of the title has no authority, but these military generals at least now have soldiers and horses in their hands.

Now it's a great vassal. The basic civil and military forces are in Beijing, but once they return to the army. It's hard to say whether these generals can still be controlled.

There is no doubt that if you say something that Your Majesty doesn't like to hear, most of the ministers and civil and military ministers are dissatisfied with you, even if Your Majesty's prestige is extremely high, it is also very dangerous, does Your Majesty think it is right? ”

Huang Yueying looked at Zhou Budo with deep eyes, and it was not until today that Huang Yueying really understood Liu Zhang's evaluation of Zhou Budo, and she really dared to say anything, completely reckless.

Liu Zhang was silent, what Zhou Budo said was really ugly, which meant that so many ministers were dissatisfied with him, which might lead to serious consequences, and he couldn't control it.

But it's hard to hear, as a later generation, there are too many examples to learn from, many wise and martial emperors, because of their vigorous and resolute actions to offend the interests of the DPRK and China, in the end they were either hijacked, forced to abdicate, or hacked to death with a knife.

There are too many such examples to mention, so why should I be an exception?

And the Sichuan army wants to brew such a thing now, it is too simple, the first is that most of the civil and military are dissatisfied, and there is also a Huang Quan.

Huang Quan is loyal by nature, but for the sake of the Huang family and Liu Kang, it is not necessarily.

plus a prince Liu Kang who can be spared.

The conditions for brewing a coup d'état can be described as complete, and Liu Zhang is almost certain that if his current defense is lax, it may be the fate of Wang Mang, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Emperor Gong of Zhou.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been holding grievances for a long time, and the military generals were dissatisfied with the disarmament at the beginning, but because of Your Majesty's prestige, they can't say anything.

Later, the capital was set in Beijing, and the ministers were also dissatisfied, but they had been deceived to Beijing and had no power to return to heaven.

The sudden establishment of the supervision system of the Imperial History Tower, the Ministry of Letters and Visits, and the Jinyi Guard, the civil and military officials were also dissatisfied.

The current implementation of decreasing titles can be said to have deeply touched the bottom line of the ministers.

Now just by putting Xu Jing and the others in prison, can they calm their grievances? It's impossible, right? ”

Liu Zhang tilted his head, closed his eyes, and frowned.

Zhou Budo knew that Liu Zhang was thinking about it now, and continued: "Actually, Your Majesty already knows these facts, but Your Majesty has one of the biggest weaknesses, which is the same as Your Majesty's arbitrariness, which is Your Majesty's character weakness.

Therefore, His Majesty can't make up his mind, and he can't make up his mind to do so much civil and military action.

This is the reason why His Majesty feels like a mess, just because His Majesty does not dare to take this step.

But there is no doubt that you can clearly tell Your Majesty that the beginning of a dynasty is the most important, when the interruption continues, and the disaster is left for a thousand years, Your Majesty will immediately fight the world, and the outer taboo and the inner width are to win the hearts of the people.

However, the horse rules the world, and sooner or later arrogant ministers will be raised from the outside and the inside.

Zhou Budo said clearly, His Majesty can not attack civilian officials for the time being, but military generals must be taken, in fact, compared with civilian officials, military generals prefer to get knighthoods, they are basically from the lowest level, and they are more eager to return to their hometowns.

If these resentful generals are released back into the army, it will be a disaster, even if there is His Majesty pressing it now, it will break out in the future, because no one wants to, and their family business cannot be passed on to their children and grandchildren.

Zhou Budo reported another news to His Majesty, and after many generals dispersed, they all went to attend General Ma's birthday banquet. (To be continued......)
