Cotton is basically not used in Jiaozhou and Ningzhou, so they did not join the ranks of competing for cotton seeds, but their mood is not easy.

Zhao Hanzhang really got the love of God, and he only had such a treasure after only three years on the throne.

Cold and hunger have always been the two biggest challenges facing mankind, and the vast majority of people in this world have only pursued food and clothing in their lives.

If cotton is as warm as they say, from now on, mankind will be considered to have conquered the cold.

People all over the world, even Jiaozhou and Ningzhou, who don't need cotton, will have respect.

Wei Fang and Wei Ran glanced at each other, and although they were a little unconvinced, they still came out of the ranks, flattering Zhao Hanzhang with the officials.

Zhao Hanzhang was praised flutteringly, Fu Tinghan handed the child to her, her half-sublimated soul immediately returned to reality, hugged Ming Ming into her arms, and then let everyone go to the palace banquet.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Xin to follow into the apse, and Zhao Hu and the others of the Zhao clan also wanted to keep up, but were stopped by Zhao Song with a look.

They were anxious, "Zhao Xin went to the Western Regions, but he brought three Zhao family disciples, and I didn't see anyone outside the hall just now." ”

"Zhao Jin died, because I was captured at the time, I couldn't take care of his funeral, so I could only dig a pit and bury it, and the other two cousins were separated in the sandstorm and the war, I don't know whether I live or die, but ......" Zhao Xin sat on a stool, took a sip of hot tea, and said everything that was not good in the main hall.

Judging from the situation at that time, there were many lucky people who were separated, and it was difficult for not only the two of them, but also the other soldiers to survive.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "If they were still alive, what do you think they would be doing?" ”

Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "Be a slave." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Will they try to come back?" ”

Zhao Xin: "As long as they are alive, they will always work hard for this." ”

Zhao Hanzhang said, "Okay, then we'll go and pick them up." ”

Zhao Xin looked up at her in surprise, "Your Majesty wants to use troops against the Western Regions?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Zhang Yu is not in the mission that came back, is he?" ”

Zhao Xin perked up and hurriedly said: "He came back safely, but when he met Erlang, he knew that Zhang Tingshi had died, so he went back to Xiliang directly." ”

When this incident came out, everyone who knew it exaggerated and was pure and filial, and no one thought there was anything wrong with him hanging the seal and going home.

But...... Praise is not only regret and worry.

Zhao Xin already knew that after Zhang Liang's death, the imperial court quickly appointed his second son Zhang Mao as the new king of Xiliang, and this position originally belonged to the eldest son Zhang Yu.

Zhao Xin secretly looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it to Mingming, who was sitting aside and playing with his fingers.

Ming Ming immediately took it with both hands, held it to his lips and nibbled quietly.

Zhao Hanzhang put down the teacup and chuckled: "Zhang Yu has made meritorious contributions, and I will reward him heavily." ”

This is not going to change the meaning of King Xiliang.

Not only did Zhao Hanzhang not want to change, but the officials and people in Xiliang didn't want to change either.

In the past year, Zhang Mao has done a good job, he basically continued the policy left by his father Zhang Liang, and the imperial court also resumed the appointment and dismissal of officials in Xiliang, policy formulation, etc......

This year, with the help of the imperial court, Zhang Mao continued to take in the displaced people, reduce taxes, and appease the people.

And Zhao Hanzhang basically did not touch the political resources left by Zhang Rail, and at present, the entire Xiliang is still generally configured by Zhang Rail at the time, whether it is Zhao Hanzhang or Zhang Mao, only minor adjustments have been made.

This made Zhang Liang's remaining staff more convinced of Zhang Mao, and also expressed support for his posture of complete submission to the imperial court.

So this year, the atmosphere in Xiliang is good.

Zhang Yu came back suddenly, or came back alive, which made everyone's hearts worry, except for Zhang Mao is really happy, the rest of the officials and staff couldn't help but have sorrow in their eyebrows.

Zhang Yu and his brother Zhang Mao hugged their heads and cried, and then the two of them went together to incense their father's spiritual seat.

In front of the spirit, Zhang Yu and Zhang Mao couldn't help but hug their heads and cry again, and Zhang Yu asked, "Where is my father buried?" I'm going to marry my father and keep filial piety for three years. ”

Zhang Mao: "I'll go with my brother." ”

Zhang Wei shook his head, "You are now the King of Xiliang, how can you leave the Assassin's Mansion and settle in the wilderness with me?" ”

Zhang Mao cried bitterly: "Big brother, I don't want to be the king of Xiliang, I just want to be my father's Cheng Xun." ”

Zhang Yu also cried bitterly.

The brothers cried in the ancestral hall for a day, almost fainting from crying, and finally the princess and the eldest lady came to help people out, and this matter was considered in the past.

Zhang Wei was not stupid, he naturally noticed the worries and undercurrents of the officials and people in Xiliang, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that Zhang Mao underestimated him.

Does he care about the powerful?

It happened that Zhao Hanzhang urged him to go to Beijing to report on his work through a telegram, and he also wanted to reward his merits, so he went to worship his father and left.

Zhang Mao sent him out of the city, looking at his brother's disappearing back, he was in a very bad mood.

He turned his head and asked Wang Chang, "I have repeatedly explained that our brother is not the kind of person who fights for power and profit, the eldest brother really loves me, and I am willing to return the throne to the eldest brother, which of you still shows it in front of the eldest brother?" ”

Wang Chang sighed and said: "Envoy, the eldest prince is sensitive, even if no one dares to say it, if he is cautious between actions, the eldest prince will also notice." ”

"Since the eldest prince is aware of it, why don't you talk to you openly and honestly and resolve the misunderstanding?" Wang Chang asked: "You have always believed in the eldest prince, but does the eldest prince believe in the envoy?" ”

Zhang Mao was silent.

Wang Chang said: "This is one of the reasons why the king has been reluctant to ask the prince to inherit Xiliang, and the eldest prince is ...... If you take things for granted, you will only immerse yourself in your own mind and forget to listen to the opinions of the outside. ”

Wang Chang knew that Zhang Mao really wanted to return the throne of King Xiliang to Zhang Yu, so for this reason, the documents had already gone to the capital.

Wang Chang was very worried, if His Majesty really changed the title of Zhang Yu to the king of Xiliang, he estimated that he would have to leave early and go home to retire.

Zhang Yu is smart, but proud and conceited, Wang Chang is confident that he can survive under Zhang Yu's hands, and he can live well, but he doesn't think that he can lead Zhang Yu to win all his enemies.

The location of Xiliang is special, not only do the surrounding ministries and countries want to merge it, but there are also many people inside who always want to kill the Zhang family and replace it.

Zhang Yu is the leader, but he is far worse than his brother.

Zhang Mao sighed and said to Wang Chang: "Let's go, let's go back and wait for His Majesty's reply." ”

Zhao Hanzhang didn't answer Zhang Mao's letter and documents at all, and threw them aside, and showed him the letters and documents as soon as Zhang Yu arrived.

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister really has no idea of inheriting Xiliang. ”

Zhao Hanzhang chuckled and said, "I believe in you, I will show you the letter and documents to let you know that Cheng Xun loves you no less than you love him." ”

Zhang Yu paused for a moment and sighed, "The minister knows that the minister wanted to leave before, and he should have a good talk with him before leaving." (End of chapter)
