Early the next morning, the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City.

Emperor Hui sat facing north, and the ministers visited the south and shouted long live. Then Zhongchang Dong opened his throat and shouted: "There is a book!" Retreat from the dynasty without capital! ”

Wang Liang of Runan then came out and said loudly: "Minister, there is a play!" ”

Emperor Hui raised his head and yawned, and said weakly: "King Runan, please speak!" ”

King Runan cleared his throat, took out a book from his arms and said, "Your Majesty." Yang Jun and his party have been punished for rebellion, but the ministers who participated in the counterinsurgency have not yet been rewarded, which will inevitably lose people's support. The ministers proposed to reward the meritorious ministers according to the size of the merit! ”

Emperor Hui said "oh", and his own little eunuch jogged down, took the notebook in the hand of Wang Liang of Runan and presented it to Emperor Hui. Emperor Hui impatiently pushed the chapter away, and said, "Since the king of Runan and others have already made a decision, it will be approved." ”

Dong Meng, the middle attendant, took the notebook from the little eunuch's hand, unfolded it, and read it out loud:

"Da Sima, Runan Wang Liang is pure, knowledgeable about politics, and the achievements of Xuanyi are shown in this dynasty, and the wind of "Ernan" flows in Fang Xia, and it will be based on Yuanyou, and Kang Wang. It takes Liang as Dazai, records Shangshu affairs, does not tend to enter the court, goes to the palace with a sword, increases the number of ten people, gives thousands of soldiers and hundreds of horses, and is in charge of the government.

He is too protective and upright, and he is knowledgeable about politics. I thought that I would record the Shang Shushi, add a green ribbon, go to the palace with a sword, enter the court and do not tend, increase the number of ten people, give thousands of soldiers and hundreds of horses, and assist the government with Wang Liang of Runan.

General Zhennan, Chu Yin Wang Wei Kuangzheng royal family, to calm the world, general knowledge of politics, proficient in military affairs. I thought that Lu Shang Shushi, General Jiawei, led the Northern Army, and served the prince and young master. If you don't enter the court, you will go to the temple with a sword. Zengpeng belonged to ten people, gave thousands of soldiers and hundreds of horses, and assisted the government with Wang Liang of Runan.

Dong'an Gongxuan, hard work, loyal to the royal family, into the king of Dong'an......"

Dong Meng read out nearly a stick of incense before he finished reading the long reward, and everyone who received the reward was overjoyed and smiled. Emperor Hui was drowsy when he listened. Dong Meng moved his footsteps, and the sound of his luck was transmitted into the secret: "Your Majesty, the old slave has finished reading, it's time to commend it." ”

Emperor Hui was woken up by Dong Meng, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said, "Hmm." All Aiqing are fortunate. If it's all right, then ......"

Chu Wangwei stood up "Huo" and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Something to do! ”

Emperor Hui had to sigh helplessly and said, "King Chu, please speak!" ”

Chu Wangwei said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, since Yang Jun monopolized the dynasty, he does not respect the ancient calendar!" The first emperor collapsed and changed the yuan before the year! At the beginning of this year, it was changed to Yongping again. Chen Qi, abolished the Yongping era name, and changed the Yuan Yuankang. Yuan is the beginning, which means that the emperor is back in favor of the government; Kang is Antai, which means that the great Jin is peaceful. Please allow the emperor to play! ”

Emperor Hui didn't think about it and said, "Quasi! ”

Seeing that Chu Wangwei retreated, he said, "Then retreat to the dynasty!" ”

Tai Baobao stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say." ”

Emperor Hui just wanted to stand up and prepare to go down to the court, but when Wei Qian called him like this, he had to sit back and say, "Taibao, please speak." ”

Wei Qian said: "Your Majesty, Guanzhong is now in a major drought and has a major epidemic. The minister asked the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and control the epidemic! ”

Emperor Hui nodded, and only wanted to go down to the court as soon as possible, so he shirked and said, "Isn't it up to the three of you to jointly assist the government?" You can decide this kind of thing, and you don't need to ask me. ”

Wei Qian looked at Emperor Hui and shook his head gently, disappointed in his heart, the son can't be taught!

When Emperor Hui saw that Wei Qian was no longer talking, he shouted to everyone: "Is there anything else?" After a while, no one came out of the ranks, so he immediately got up and left. Zhongchang shouted: "Retreat!" ”

Everyone paid their respects and sent Emperor Hui away.

Chu Wang Wei, Runan Wang Liang, and Tai Bao Qian entered the side hall of the Taiji Hall together. The emperor doesn't care about anything, but the three of them, as auxiliary ministers, can't let go.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Wei Qian shook his head and sighed: "Alas." The emperor is dull and ignores government affairs, but it is not my blessing to be great! ”

Wei Qian said such a big rebellious thing, but Chu Wang Wei and Runan Wang Liang both nodded.

Wei Qian said to himself: "If the first emperor was willing to listen to the old minister's words that day, I am afraid that it will not be the current situation." ”

Chu Wangwei has always respected Wei Qian for being upright, fair, and talented. It was Wang Liang of Runan who came to him and said that he hoped to let Wei Qian govern together, and he also applauded. coughed: "Lord Taibao, let's discuss how to deal with the drought in Guanzhong." ”

Wei Qian knew that he was speechless, and now that the three of them were in the palace, he was afraid that the wall would have ears. If it is listened to by the people of Empress Jia, although it is not afraid, it is also a troublesome thing.

Wei Qian picked up a book of music on the table, worried about the country and the people: "There is a big drought in Guanzhong, I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year!" Coupled with the outbreak of the epidemic, the situation is now very serious. The history of Yongzhou and Qinzhou all played to ask for help. ”

Chu Wangwei thought for a while and said, "In addition to what Lord Taibao said when he was in the court, he sent the imperial doctor of the palace to diagnose the epidemic, and Gu also felt that he could tell the world and summon the local Langzhong to go to the same consultation. ”

Wei Qian approvingly: "What the King of Chu said is very true. In addition to controlling the epidemic, the food of the people in Guanzhong is also a big problem. It is better to order the counties of Qin and Yongzhou to open warehouses and release grain to solve the urgent need. ”

Chu Wangwei snorted: "In addition, you can also transfer the grain of Luoyang, Bingzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou to aid the Guannei." ”

Wei Qian frowned and said: "Although this drought is serious, if the rescue is effective, it will not be too harmful." I am afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of the drought to confuse the people's hearts and pull the flag to rebel! Although there is Zhao Wanglun guarding the pass, it ......"

Chu Wangwei and Runan Wang Liang also felt that this was a hidden danger, and everyone knew what kind of character Zhao Wanglun was, and no one expected him to have any effect.

After a while, Wang Liang of Runan proposed: "You can order all counties and counties in the two states to strengthen their vigilance to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos." The Yamen army can also be dispatched from Luoyang to escort grain to Guanzhong, and temporarily stationed in Guanzhong by the way, in case there is a change. ”

Chu Wangwei glanced at Wang Liang of Runan, and snorted coldly in his heart. This King of Runan has no ability to govern the army through the country, but he thinks about intrigue all day long.

Now Chu Wang Wei has taken the post of lieutenant marquis of the Northern Army, and the central leader has also been transferred to his command. But he is no better than his predecessor Zhang Shao, who can only command the moving army, and now the Xiao cavalry army, the guerrilla army, and the Sima clan soldiers of the two armies are also gathered under his banner. The Yamen army also surrendered to him. It can be said that most of the Luoyang Forbidden Army is now under the control of Chu Wangwei. Wang Liang of Runan intentionally or unintentionally proposed to ask the Yamen army to send out to protect the grain, I am afraid that he is a little jealous of Chu Wangwei's military power in Beijing.

Chu Wangwei was silent for a long time, and said, "Soon it will be a big competition in the forbidden military academy." The Yamen army dispatched the whole army, but I was afraid that it would be inappropriate. However, in order to be safe, the Yamen Army dispatched two battalions, which I am afraid will not be enough. Why don't you transfer the two battalions of the right army of the central guard to go together. ”

Wang Liang of Runan hated it in his heart, and the Right Army of the Central Guard and the Left Army of the Central Guard were both his direct troops. In this way, there is still no substantial change in the comparison of forces in Beijing, and it is even more powerful for Chu Wangwei, after all, the Yamen army has been stationed around Luoyang for a long time. However, who let him first propose to let the Yamen army transport grain, and Chu Wangwei's reason is understandable. Runan Wang Liang gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Wei Qian turned a blind eye to the open and secret struggle between the two, and when he saw that the two reached an agreement, he said: "In this way, the matter of Guanzhong is so decided." ”

The three of them discussed some more important things. Suddenly seeing Jia Hou come and appear in the side hall at some point, the three of them stood up unexpectedly.

Empress Jia smiled and said, "The three adults are fine." I don't know what we're discussing? ”

Chu Wangwei bowed slightly, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what the queen mother commands?" ”

Jia Hou said with a smile: "This palace is just idle and has nothing to do, come out for a walk." Knowing that the three adults were discussing here, they came to take a look. ”

Wei Qian snorted coldly, and said with a cold face: "The queen mother is the master of the harem. Don't you know that the first emperor set the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? This is a place to discuss state affairs, and the queen mother broke in for no reason, but what did she want! ”

When Empress Jia heard Wei Qiang's questioning, her face was a little ugly, and she looked at Chu Wangwei and Runan Wang Liang who were standing there with a flat face, looking like they didn't care about themselves. Jia Hou suddenly laughed: "Three adults, take a look." Hongu is confused! I thought this was an ordinary side hall. Hehe. The three adults continued, and Hongu left first. After that, he didn't wait for the three of them to reply, turned around and left.

The three of them watched Empress Jia leave the palace, and they all felt that Empress Jia did have some means. was humiliated in front of him, but he still endured it with a smile. Chu Wangwei smiled at Wei Qian and said: "Lord Taibao is not afraid of imperial power and dares to directly reprimand the queen of the dynasty, which is really admirable. However, Empress Jia is vicious, and she must be prevented from secretly using poisonous arrows. ”

Wei Qian shook his head indifferently: "Empress Jia already hates me to the core, and it doesn't hurt to have this more time." ”

Chu Wang Wei and King Runan smiled when they appeared, and couldn't help but smile.

What Wei Qian is referring to when Emperor Wu was alive. At that time, Emperor Hui was still the crown prince, but the name of stupidity was far away. For the sake of the country, Wei Qian has always hoped that Emperor Wu can change a prince. One day, Emperor Wu feasted his ministers, and Wei Qian pretended to be drunk, and he had the courage to touch Emperor Wu's throne and said that it was a pity, a pity. Emperor Wu understood what Wei Qian was referring to, but he pretended not to know, and just said, "Wei Qiang, you are drunk." When Wei Qian heard Emperor Wu's words, he was completely dead, knowing that Emperor Wu was determined to change the crown prince. It is said that this matter was later known to Jia Nanfeng, who was the crown princess at the time, and Jia Nanfeng gritted his teeth and scolded Wei Qian for being full and holding on, and he had nothing to cause trouble.

Wei Qian smiled indifferently and said, "Two princes, there are still a few important things to discuss here. ”

All three of them smiled and sat down again, discussing.

Jia smiled and walked out of the Taiji Hall, his face immediately turned cold. There was a sneer in his heart: "Wei Qiang, Wei Qiang!" Back then, your daughter first robbed me of the crown princess, and later instigated the first emperor to abolish the crown prince. I haven't settled this bad debt with you yet! Wait! It won't be long before I'm going to be back with you! ”
