The distant western battlefield is in full swing, and Chang'an, which is calm on the outside, is also surging undercurrent.

This year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not go to Shanglin Yuan, but chose to go to Ganquan Palace. And this year is even more different from previous years, this time only Zhang Anshi and Huo Yan were among the courtiers who went to Ganquan Palace with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and all the vassals in the court stayed in Chang'an. There is no need to even do the same as in the previous year, important official documents have to be sent to Ganquan Palace, in these days when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left Chang'an, all the government affairs were handed over to the prince Liu Ju, it seems that this time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completely started to be the shopkeeper.

At this time, the crown prince Liu Ju was already sitting on the royal steps of the Xuanshu Palace, and the old prince, who had been in office for more than 30 years, seemed to have become the de facto emperor of the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of the world, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Han Empire is no different from the emperor, and even many people have begun to speculate in their hearts whether Liu Che, the great emperor who single-handedly created the unprecedented prosperity of the Han Empire, will make a decision to pass on the throne to the next generation in advance like the ancient Holy Emperor.

Liu Che succeeded to the throne as a young man, and took power step by step under the suppression of his relatives and the empress dowager, and then continued to weaken the power of the kingdom with the Tui En Order, and suppressed the rebellion internally, making the Han more and more cohesive. The external attack on the Xiongnu made the Xiongnu, who had been harassing the Han people for hundreds of years, collapse. Later, he swept down South Vietnam, inspected Mobei, sealed Mount Tai, expelled the Qiang people in the southwest, and conquered the countries of the Western Regions.

Now the territory ruled by the Han Empire is more than twice as much as that of Gaozu at the beginning of the founding of the country, and it is more than ten times more than a hundred times more than the territory ruled by those ancient holy emperors. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really made a move to abdicate the throne in advance in the last time, then he would achieve the most perfect imperial road in the past and present, and become a monument that can never be surpassed in Chinese history!

For Emperor Wu of Han, such an idea is not speculation, he is advancing towards this step by step, putting all this into action.

The prince's disciples in Chang'an City had already celebrated, and these people seemed to have seen the moment when the prince was crowned emperor. People like Shi De can still maintain their usual low profile and humility, but more princes have become arrogant and indulgent.

Liu Jin and Liu Xijun walked in the west city of Chang'an, looking at the bustling crowd in front of them, but their hearts were thinking of Huo Guang, who was fighting with Anxito in the Western Regions.

"With such a grand scene, how many people can understand that all this is given by the teacher!" Liu Xijun said with a helpless smile. Recently, she has been in and out of the Hou Mansion of Anyang more and more frequently, and she learned some news about the Western Regions that even the court didn't know about, but she learned some from Huo Tang.

"Yes, if it weren't for the teacher guarding the Western Regions, I'm afraid the rest army would have crossed the river, right?" Liu Jin also knows some of the situation in the Western Regions, he heard that the recent war is extremely anxious, as if there is a kind of siege equipment that has never appeared in the rest army, it is said that the outer wall of Guishan City has been breached in several places, if it is not for Huo Guang to sit in person, I am afraid that Guishan City has been broken by the rest army several times.

"I heard that the west of the two passes is now full of smoke, and that a nation called Pontus and the Anxi-Rest Union have occupied the province of Asia Minor in Great Qin, and that the army of the consul Sula is fighting with the army of the Pontus for the region of Asia Minor, and even on the sea called the Mediterranean, there are countless fleets at war. And after the Great Moon Clan went south, in order to survive, they were also fighting for territory with Great Xia, and the war was almost poisonous. Liu Xijun relayed the latest news to Liu Jin, the so-called two passes refer to Yangguan and Yumen Pass, and the places she just mentioned are actually the whole world they know.

This is a real world war, and at present, it is only thought that Huo Guang's reason has made the east of the two passes still calm, and it has not yet been affected by the war.

"It's a pity we can't help now!" Liu Jin also said helplessly. Although he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and his father has now grasped the real power of the Han Dynasty, whether it is his grandfather or his father, they have a cold attitude towards the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, and they are even reluctant to talk about it too much.

"Forget it, it's useless for us to think about this, don't you want to choose a hair accessory for Weng Su? Let's check it out! Liu Xijun smiled and waved his hand and said. She was called out by Liu Jin in order to choose hair accessories for Wang Wengsu, and now that Wang Wengsu is about to give birth, Liu Jin, as a husband, also wants to make his wife happy, so he wants to send some small things to her.

"Get out of the way..... Get out of the way" Just as Liu Jin and Liu Xijun were about to walk into a store, they suddenly heard a noise from the street.

The two of them subconsciously looked back, which frightened Liu Jin. Because at this moment, there was a carriage with the prince's emblem galloping on the galloping road. Chidao is the royal use of the Son of Heaven, and no one can occupy it without a special purpose. When Huo Guangping returned from South Vietnam, he was allowed to cross Chang'an by En's gallop, and Huo Guangdu just led the horse away. At this moment, the prince's frame is actually running on the gallop, and the car is not the prince himself, how can this not make Liu Jin frightened.

"This ...... My father's disciples are becoming more and more reckless....." Liu Jin said with some concern. These days, he has also heard some news that is unfavorable to the prince, most of which are the bad deeds of the prince's disciples.

Because the crown prince is becoming more and more powerful, and he is about to become the real emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ju, like his father, likes to recruit strange people. Liu Ju did not refuse to come to these people, and many people also saw that this was a way to promotion, so they worshiped under the prince's door, hoping that one day the prince would ascend the throne, and these people would be in the court.

"What nonsense...... My brother should admonish His Highness if he has a chance! Liu Xijun was also angry, these prince's guests were simply smearing the prince.

"Hehe, my prince's father is not so easy to persuade now....." Liu Jin became more and more helpless, not that he had not persuaded him, but that his father was now in a stable position, but he had become a little stubborn. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Liu Ju's changes are also reasonable, originally under the pressure of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ju can still be self-denying and humble, but after all, Liu Ju has been the prince for more than 30 years, and he has been suppressed for more than 30 years, and now it is normal for him to be a little difficult to control himself.

When the Prince Gate passenger drove on the gallop road, this scene was seen by too many people, including the people of the lieutenant Si Li. Sili Xiaowei, an institution that was born at the same time as the thirteen state assassin histories and whose status is still above the thirteen state assassin histories, is responsible for the supervision and arrest of the entire Gyeonggi region, and its power is actually above that of the Sanfu Yamen.

Sili Lieutenant Jiang Chong is now in the middle of the day, except for the slight lack of background, his momentum is very similar to the scenery when Huo Guang was Jing Zhaoyin. Now Jiang Chong's mansion is located in Xuanpingli, and the servants in the mansion are like high-ranking families.

Jiang Chong was dressed in a formal suit, and he was sitting in the lobby of Fuzhong with a smile on his face, receiving Li Guangli, the captain of Shuiheng who came to visit.

"In my early years, I often heard my sister mention Jiang Sili, and I always heard that Jiang Sili was an elegant person, and today I really deserved my reputation!" Li Guangli looked at Jiang Chong's richly decorated lobby and said with a smile. Jiang Chong is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is also a means for him to arouse the curiosity of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he is indeed very good at enjoying it, and the layout in the mansion is extremely luxurious and exquisite.

As soon as he heard Li Guangli mention Mrs. Li, Jiang Chong sat up straight, and said with a look of regret: "It is really regrettable that Mrs. died young, and every time I think of Mrs. Chong's kindness, I always remember the five inner ......"

Speaking of Mrs. Li, Jiang Chong actually lowered his head slightly, and looked sad as he spoke, and it didn't look like a fake.

Jiang Chong always remembered that he was in charge of monitoring Huo Guang in private, but he was furious by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and at that time, Mrs. Li's seemingly unintentional words did relieve Jiang Chong. Although Jiang Chong is a bit speculative, he is not an ungrateful villain. Although Mrs. Li didn't mean to help Jiang Chong, and even Jiang Chong didn't know that Mrs. Li had already killed him, Jiang Chong had the intention of repaying Mrs. Li with death since then.

At first, Mrs. Li didn't know why Jiang Chong suddenly became deliberately stammering herself, but then before Mrs. Li could figure out that she couldn't afford to get sick, and Jiang Chong lost the opportunity to serve Mrs. Li forever. Later, Jiang Chong became more and more trusted by the emperor, and he transferred all this unfulfilled loyalty to Mrs. Li to the young Changyi king Liu Ji.

Jiang Chong didn't know that his every move had already fallen into the eyes of the person in front of him, this seemingly stupid but extremely ambitious Li Guangli!

Because of Mrs. Li's relationship, Jiang Chong has a lot of respect for the Li family brothers, so even though Jiang Chong is now becoming more and more powerful, he is still polite to Li Guangli.

Li Guangli just wanted to win over Jiang Chong, and the two of them had a heart and a wish, so they naturally came together quickly.

"My sister left early, but unfortunately my nephew was lonely at a young age! Now that the crown prince is in charge, I'm afraid my nephew will have to go to the country....." Li Guangli suddenly sighed and said, like a good uncle who feels sorry for his nephew.

"This ..... Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, so I think I should wait for the king of Changyi to come of age before he becomes a country, right? Jiang Chong didn't know what Li Guangli meant, but he really cared for Liu Ji, and in all fairness, he didn't want Liu Ji to go to the country at such a young age.

"Si Li..... A subordinate has something to see! Just as Jiang Chong and Li Guangli were talking, Jiang Chong's mansion hurriedly appeared outside the door and said.

"Come in!" Jiang Chong did not shy away from Li Guangli, and directly called his subordinates in.

Seeing that there were outsiders in the house, he looked at Jiang Chong with some hesitation, not sure if he should say it.

"Let's talk about something, Captain Li is not an outsider." Jiang Chong really did not treat Li Guangli as an outsider, so that his subordinates did not have to shy away from it.

"The prince is a guest who has used the gallop road to swagger through the city, and has been arrested by the soldiers in the house, this matter is a big matter, and his subordinates have come to report to the division." He said cautiously as he bowed. The prince's guest violated the law, and it was also his duty to arrest the people of the Lieutenant's Mansion, but after all, it was the prince's person, and Jiang Chong had to make up his own mind on how to deal with this matter.

Si Lixiao is responsible for supervising and arresting, and Jiang Chong has always been self-denying, learning from the cool officials of the Western Han Dynasty, strictly enforcing the law and not bowing to the powerful, and this style has accompanied almost the entire period of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, even if it is a guest of the prince's door, the people of the lieutenant of Sili dare to detain him on the spot.

"You did the right thing, even if the prince comes, we will take care of it. I'll take care of it, so go down! Jiang Chong nodded and said, his words were quite appreciative of his subordinates.

Li Guangli, who had been slightly closing his eyes, showed a hint of cunning in his eyes that were not too big when he heard that the prince was being detained by Si Li's subordinates.

After retreating, Li Guangli said to Jiang Chong with a concerned face: "Si Li has offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by doing this..... In the future, His Royal Highness will ascend the throne, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the division! ”

"It doesn't matter, I, Jiang Chong, am a courtier of the Han Dynasty and a courtier of His Majesty, even if the prince is at fault, I will not bend the law for personal gain." Jiang Chong waved his hand and said, what he said was indeed righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Oh? Si Li has such courage and loyalty, and His Majesty must be able to understand it. Today, I came to Si Li, but I had a private matter and wanted to bother Si Li. Li Guangli stood up and finally made his intentions clear.

Jiang Chong also got up politely, and said disapprerovingly: "Brother Li has something to do, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will naturally help with all my might." ”

"It's not a big deal, isn't there a death row prisoner named Zhu Anshi? I had been favored by his family in my early years, and now I am also entrusted by someone to bring a few words from his family before Zhu Anshi died. I wonder if Si Li can make it convenient? Li Guangli said with some embarrassment.

Jiang Chong thought about it slightly when he heard this, and then said very casually: "What's the point of worrying about trivial matters, I'll arrange for someone to take Brother Li over." ”

Zhu Anshi is a condemned prisoner, and it seems that he is not a few days away from being beheaded. Jiang Chong felt that what Li Guangli said was also normal, if he just saw a death row prisoner, it was actually nothing, and he readily agreed to this kind of trivial matter.

"So much thanks! Another day, please come to my house for a gathering, and the younger brother will sweep the couch to greet him and wait for Si Li. Li Guangli said happily, and bowed to Jiang Chong at the same time.

"I will definitely come to disturb Brother Li!" Jiang Chong said politely in return, and then personally arranged for Li Guangli to go to death row.

Jiang Chong is not a cool official, although he has been doing cool things since he gained power, but he has nothing to do to benefit the country and the people. He is not even a traitor, because he has no favoritism, and everything he does is just standing within the framework of the rights given to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the final analysis, Jiang Chong is at most a courtier, and he doesn't have much ability, but he can faithfully carry out the orders of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and cater to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with his heart.

Until this time, Jiang Chong did not know that an invisible conspiracy hand had pushed him into the abyss of no return, and the power of the captain of Si Li, whom he was proud of, had only become a tool in the hands of some ambitious people.

This is a huge chess game full of conspiracy, and Jiang Chong is just the first chess piece to fall on this chessboard!
