After the end of the big court meeting and the small hall meeting, the emperor has not rested.

It was already afternoon, and the emperor and Cui Zheng were sitting in the palace eating, with a bowl of soup cakes and a plate of pickles in front of each person, nothing more.

The emperor gulped down and admired: "The queen's craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

Cui Zheng chewed slowly and nodded without saying a word.

The emperor quickly finished eating, patted his stomach, and was still unsatisfied: "I really want to have another bowl." ”

The eunuch standing on the side bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang said that there is only one serving per person, Your Majesty, this soup is still with meat, and there can be no more." ”

The emperor was immediately ashamed: "I was wrong, I am not hungry, I am hungry." Sighing and shaking his head, "How many people still can't eat, I still want to eat an extra bowl of rice." ”

Cui Zheng also finished eating at this time, and said, "Your Majesty is frugal and introspective, but don't be too yourself." He looked at the map on the side, "The foundation that I have accumulated over the centuries in Great Xia, although the rebels are in turmoil, it is not that everyone is unable to eat, but now it is plagued by the rebels." ”

As long as the rebellion is put down, everything can return to normal, and Great Xia is still the Great Xia of that prosperous era.

The emperor got up and walked to Yutu, yes, the Great Xia he was familiar with was rich in materials, everyone had no worries about food and clothing, and there were mountains of gold and silver everywhere, and now all of this was covered by the rebels.....

"Xiangye." He asked, "You say, who is credible about the preaching of martial arts?" ”

Without waiting for Cui Zheng to answer, the emperor smiled bitterly.

"Originally, I said that there was no news, but so much news came out all of a sudden, I don't know who to listen to, and I don't even know if Xuanwudao is true or false, it's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before....."

Because it was not easy for the imperial court to verify, it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and one government reported that the soldiers and horses had recovered how many places, but the result was either a false report, or the people pretended to be rebels.

"Of course, I don't believe that this matter involves Mrs. Chu State, and Han Xu, and Xiang Dudu didn't say anything, these three people are all loyal ministers and good generals."

"I'm just a little confused."

Cui Zheng put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating the last bite, motioned for the eunuchs to take them away, got up and came to the map, and said, "Of course, Governor Xiang is more credible." ”

"Governor Xiang doesn't seem to know over there." The Emperor hesitated.

Cui Zheng said: "It is precisely because it is not clear that it is more credible, Xiang Dudu is a person who is not good at expressing himself, he will say what he knows, and he will never talk about what he does not know, compared with Xiang Dudu, Mrs. Chu is not credible." ”

The emperor was a little surprised: "Why is Mrs. Chu not credible?" She has always been brave and good at fighting, caring for the people, assisting the Quartet, with her, the local defense is at ease, and she has always been very reliable in doing things. ”

Cui Zheng said: "This woman has a bad reputation. ”

The emperor was taken aback: "How come?" Deeply loved by Mrs. Chu State, a fairy-like character ....."

Cui Zheng said: "The fairy-like character is an exaggeration, and the good reputation bought with money is just a picture, and after becoming famous, his true nature will be revealed." ”

It is true that Mrs. Chu gave porridge to the people, but those porridge and grain were asked from the hands of rich families.

"If you want rice and grain, you can do whatever you want in all kinds of names and names, but if you don't give money, you will be driven out of the rule of Mrs. Chu." Cui Zheng looked at the emperor, "It's not just those who refuse who are kicked out, but the family, whether old or young, sick or weak." ”

The emperor looked shocked, did not believe that such evil things existed in the world, and was at a loss, as if the person who did such evil things was himself.

The evil is not yet finished.

"Your Majesty handed over Huainan Road to her to manage, and she was in charge of everything in the government and guards, and she sold her officials." Cui Zheng said, stretching out his finger, "How much varies, those who give more money to the big officials, those who give less money to the small officials, and even give more money, if you originally voted for the rebels, you can continue to be an official." ”

These words were serious, and the emperor waved his hand and said: "Impossible, impossible, Wududu's wife will not be such a person!" ”

Cui Zheng said indifferently: "Your Majesty and we have both dealt with Wududu, Wududu is arrogant, but there is still a bottom line, Wududu is not such a person, but there is no guarantee that Wududu's wife is also such a person, Your Majesty, we don't know anything about this young lady Wu." ”

The emperor said: "This is a rumor, the rebels slander something, I know it, if this is really the case for Young Lady Wu, why don't you see the local officials report it?" ”

"Angered her, she was whipped with a horse whip on the street in an official robe, and knelt outside her door." Cui Zheng sneered: "She has soldiers and horses in her hands, and her husband is a person trusted by His Majesty, covering the sky with one hand in Huainan Road, killing the clan, beating officials, and not listening to her is a dead end, who dares to sue?" As for the ..... around"

He stopped at this point, as if he had finished speaking.

The emperor was shocked and asked, "What's going on around?" ”

Cui Zheng said: "Mrs. Chu is good friends with Han Xu. ”

The emperor was puzzled: "Isn't it good to be good friends with Lord Han?" Lord Han was relied on by the emperors. Speaking of Han Xu, he became happy, "Now that he is sitting in Shannan, he has one person who influences the three roads of Jiannan, Shannan, and Jiangnan, and he is more powerful than a general." ”

Cui Zheng looked at the face of the emperor who was similar to the first emperor but much younger, and said, "Han Xu's matter is an old public case back then, and Your Majesty has never seen Lord Han. ”

The emperor was ashamed and regretful and said yes.

"Lord Han is very beautiful." Cui Zheng continued.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said that the talent turned to physiognomy...... What's more, Han Xu is not a woman, and he is not as good as Long Yang.....

"Han Xu is very popular with women, but everyone who has seen him admires him." Cui Zheng said, "Mrs. Chu saved Han Xu and was in danger at that time, Han Xu is a person, he is talented in people's livelihood and official affairs, but he is a little stupid in some aspects, then Mrs. Chu saved his life, and he must want to repay Mrs. Chu, so even if Mrs. Chu behaves inappropriately, he will not scold." ”

Xiangye, who has always spoken clearly, chattered like an old woman, and the emperor listened in a daze, and seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand.

"In short, Mrs. Chu Guo doesn't believe it." Cui Zheng said in a general word, and waved his hand, "Zhang An Wang Lin said so much, he knows it so clearly, at first glance, it is what others taught them, why don't you report it if you have merit?" is clearly a weak heart, only boasting about fame outside. ”

The emperor sighed and said, "In that case, the matter of Xuanwu Dao is actually not much ......"

Cui Zheng said: "The matter of Xuanwudao must be done by Xiang Nan, and it must be done solidly." ”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, this kind of thing has to be done slowly and steadily." After that, he left Yutu and walked to the table, "Xiangye, I've been tired for a long time, you can rest quickly, and you don't have to go back....." said and called someone, "Lay this side well." ”

The eunuchs responded, Cui Zheng stopped the eunuch and said, "The minister doesn't need to rest, the minister is not tired, there is still something to discuss." ”

He still doesn't know the emperor's temperament? When you don't want to do something and don't know what to do, you throw it away and pretend it didn't happen.

The emperor was really a little uneasy, and muttered: "Xiangye, it's too hard." ”

Cui Zheng said: "Your Majesty, summon the lady of Chu to Linzhou." ”

The emperor sighed: "This, Huainan Dao is just stable, how can you invite her to Linzhou?" ”

Cui Zheng said: "It is for the stability of Huainan Province and the stability of the Governor of Wudu that the Lady of Chu must be summoned to Linzhou, and His Majesty will give the mansion another title, if you still want to lead the troops, the soldiers and horses here in Linzhou can be given to her." ”

The emperor paced: "This can't work, how can this work, how can Wudu Governor be stable?" She's back, who will lead the troops in Huainan Province? ”

Right! This is the most critical question!

The emperor regained his composure and said, "Xiangye, who can lead the soldiers and horses of Huainan Road now?" Who can stabilize Huainan Road? ”

Cui Zheng said: "Xiang Yun." ”

......

......

The eunuch galloped out of the city gate surrounded by the guards, and came to the barracks, where the horses' hooves swayed with gusts of loess, and then they were stopped outside the barracks.

Even if the eunuch came and said that His Majesty had summoned him, Xiang Du was strict in governing the army, and he had to verify his identity before he could put it in.

The eunuch was not angry because of this, and happily rushed into Xiang Yun's tent, Jiang You had already received the news and greeted him.

The two approached, and Jiang You gave a salute: "Father-in-law has worked hard." ”

The eunuch stretched out his hand to support: "Mr. Jiang is polite, please invite Xiang Dudu into the palace, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." ”

The two approached, and the eunuch felt a sinking in his sleeve and slipped something.

Jiang You let him go to the side: "The governor has come from the army and is changing his clothes, father-in-law, please come in and wait." ”

The eunuch followed in, and the guards waited outside, greeting each other with the guards of the camp, most of whom were now selected from the barracks.

Xiang Yun in the camp was really changing his official robe, and when he saw the eunuch coming in, he said hello.

The eunuch did not greet and said in a low voice: "It's good news, Cui Xiangye and His Majesty have discussed asking the governor to take over Huainan Dao." ”

Xiang Yun's dressed hand paused, looking surprised, and Jiang You was also surprised.

"This is really...," he looked at Xiang Yun, "What a heavy responsibility!" ”

Xiang Yun tied his belt with his hand steadily and asked, "Why did you talk about this?" Then Mrs. Chu Guo, is she going to reunite with the Governor of Wudu? ”

The eunuch looked out, a little hesitant, the private conversation between His Majesty and Xiangye can't be said casually......

Jiang You handed over a money bag and said in a low voice: "A few gold leaves, my father-in-law will play with them." ”

The eunuch pinched it in his hand, feeling the touch of the long and rectangular square, and his expression was a little stunned, this gold leaf was not too perfect, I think that in the palace of the capital, what he hid was much better than this, but now it has entered the hands of Ankang Mountain, or I don't know who touched it......

What can he do, he can only save again, with money, what Xiangye and His Majesty say will be told to everyone sooner or later, whatever.

"The reputation of the Lady of Chu State...."He lowered his voice and motioned for Xiang Yun and Jiang You to come closer, ".... The news of hooking up with Han Xu spread, and His Majesty was afraid that the Wudu Governor would make trouble, so he invited Mrs. Chu to go back to Linzhou to settle down first....."

Is that actually the case? Xiang Yun and Jiang You still looked surprised.

This kind of thing is very unbelievable, the eunuch grinned and stood away.

This kind of thing is not unbelievable, Xiang Yun and Jiang You glanced at each other, the matter about Mrs. Chu and Han Xu was spread by them, in order to kill Han Xu's weight in the eyes of Cui Zheng and His Majesty.

Cui Zheng and His Majesty still only see him best in their eyes, he is obviously in front of him, is he not as good as a distant minister?

I didn't expect Han Xu to do anything for the time being, Mrs. Chu was going to be taken down, this result was really ...... Surprise! It's better than replacing Han Xu.

If you can get Huainan Dao, it is equivalent to getting Jiannan Dao!

Jiang You straightened his back and looked solemn: "Dudu, how will you give advice to Your Majesty?" ”

Xiang Yun understood the meaning of his question, and finally straightened the official robe he was wearing, and said: "I will tell Your Majesty that if Xuanwu Dao can be reorganized, it will not take two years to take the capital, and this year, at the latest next year, you can start it." ”

What the emperor wants most, what he looks forward to the most, what he can't bear the most, standing in front of the emperor, can he be clear at a glance, can he be loyal to the king, and can he become an indispensable person.

He Xiang Yun will inevitably become an indispensable person for the emperor and become famous in Great Xia.
