Chapter 337: When Rivals Meet, Their Eyes Are Red
"Cao Xiang, your uncle's move is really ruthless."
When Yang Chuan heard that Liu Che made the final decision, he smashed him, the Marquis of Changning, to the prince Liu Ju as a teacher, and took Ji Dian, Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo, and Zhang Tang as a few people, and the right to be a 'maid to marry', and sent it to the East Palace......
Inexplicably, he became the 'prince and concubine' second only to the 'Three Princes', and he was speechless for a while.
Especially.
When he heard that Liu Che's will was about the appointment of Cao Xiang, Zhu Maichen and his Yang Chuan, he felt a little ridiculous.
Cao Xiang became a big farmer and ranked as the third duke, which made Yang Chuan feel very comfortable.
At present, the main energy of the Han Empire is to fight against Hungary, and all power is highly concentrated in the hands of Liu Che, Wei Qing, Gongsun Hong and a few others.
As a result, the big peasant order, which had never been very popular, naturally began to rise because it took on the tasks of raising money and grain and repairing weapons, and became the 'key department' second only to the Prime Minister's Office.
Of course, there are also ...... that make him very upset
Liu Che seemed to have predicted Yang Chuan's prediction, and even directly stuffed Zhu Maichen's goods into Yang Chuan's arms, so that he couldn't be light or heavy, just like two hostile war horses, forcibly dragged them, and arranged them in the same stable.
Yang Chuan's title has been promoted two levels in a row, and he is almost similar to the Marquis of Changping, the great general Wei Qing.
On the surface, it seems that the official position has also been promoted.
The prince and the princess sound very lofty; In fact, it is really a bit tall, almost half a level worse than the three princes, which is equal to the 'first grade' of later generations.
But Yang Chuan couldn't be happy.
Because, the Zhu Maichen he wanted to kill is now the Taishou of Shuofang County, and his fief is under the rule of that town, so if Liu Che gives him the side of the Marquis of Changning, he will smash a nail in.
Fortunately, Yang Chuan still had the final say in the matter of Tuntian, which was a blessing in misfortune.
In the layout of Shuofang County, he has just begun to improve a little, many fields have not yet been reclaimed, many mines have not yet been explored and excavated, and many Chidao, military villages and border fortresses specially prepared for the Huns have only completed a small part.
Liu Che's move, to a large extent, disrupted Yang Chuan's 'plan'.
Of course.
As long as the 3,000 Hun young soldiers, 600 Changning orphans and the Tunken Brigade are in their hands, even if Zhu Maichen wants to make some trouble, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to tear the dough and kill that guy directly in Shuofang County.
Zhu Maichen originally had nothing to do with him Yang Chuan, but he had something to do with Zhang Tang; According to historical records, Zhang Tang has always been rigid, ruthless, and ruthless, well, it is almost what later generations called 'iron-faced selflessness'.
Such a 'big man cool official', when he was alive, was the knife in Liu Che's hand, cold and hard and sharp, so that he was very good, but once he offended too many powerful people, his fate was generally destined, this Zhu Maichen was actually one of the cool officials, but at the critical moment, he chose the magnates, and Zhang Tang was killed in one sentence.
Regarding Zhu Maichen's choice, Yang Chuan can understand it very well.
Readers......
No, after this period of getting along, Yang Chuan finally figured out some of Zhang Tang's 'details', and he was very pleased to find that this 'cool official' of the Han Dynasty, who was more stubborn than the donkey of the Western Regions, was far less loyal to Liu Che than to the Han Empire.
In other words, what people like Zhang Tang want to be loyal to is not your emperor Liu Che, but the Han Empire.
Based on this alone, Yang Chuan felt that it was necessary to kill Zhu Maichen, try to change Zhang Tang's fate, and try not to let people die......
What kind of character is Zhu Maichen, although Yang Chuan has never met or interacted, he should be very good; In any case, a character who can hold on to forty years of loneliness and humiliation, but can soar to the sky at the age of fifty, Yang Chuan does not dare to ignore it.
This is also one of the main reasons why he was willing to make a deal with Dong Zhongshu's old thief at that time, and let the old thief be tough against the old thief, instead of coming forward himself.
It turned out to be good, and when things got to Liu Che, everything changed......
……
As soon as Liu Che's will came, Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang's illness had to be cured.
"Yang Chuan, what method did you use to let Dong Zhongshu go back to Chang'an City and do such a big thing?"
In the secret room in the back hall of the Taishou Mansion, Cao Xiang was lying flat on Ma Zazi, and the expression on his face was very exciting, uncertain, mixed, and more helpless.
This thing looked rotten, lying motionless on the mazazi, and muttered: "Ben Hou doesn't want to be an official, so he wants to earn some money and deceive some other people's little women." ”
"Yang Chuan, you guy made me miserable."
Yang Chuan sat behind a desk, drawing in circles on a small notebook, and he didn't know what he was busy with, so he smiled very perfunctorily: "I deliberately planted flowers and flowers, and I didn't intend to plant willows and willows." ”
Cao Xiang opened one eye and glanced at Yang Chuan, who was busy: "Your interpolation is not very accurate. ”
Yang Chuan let out an 'oh': "Really?" ”
Cao Xiang came to his senses, sat up straight from the horse, stretched out his hand and stroked his huge head a few times, and said with a smile: "It's definitely not accurate, and the previous sentence of planting flowers is not good." ”
"Think about it, can the flowers that you and I like be ordinary flowers and plants?"
"Definitely not."
"At least a flower bone, right? So how can you use planting words? Shouldn't it be a word for poking, grabbing, playing, pounding, and so on? ”
"And Ah Yang Chuan, that unintentionally inserted willows and willows, the interpolation in it, can be used in a more vivid ......"
Listening to this thing, the more he talked, the more unpleasant it became, Yang Chuan couldn't help it: "Shut up!" ”
Cao Xiang laughed and lay down again: "Okay, well, just shut up." ”
"But what do you think my uncle thinks this time?" The thing shut up for less than two or three breaths, and then spoke again, "I can figure this out about your promotion and knighthood, after all, whether it is military merit or agricultural merit, even if you are given another one or two titles, I think it is all right."
But Yang Chuan, I forced you to give you the official position of the prince and the prince, and at the same time, he easily took away your position as the prince of Shuofang County, and kept the matter of Tuntian here, which is clear!
Yes.
My uncle is clearly the far-sighted, heroic god, unparalleled in the world, and proud of the world...... The first emperor of the ages! ”
Yang Chuan put down the wolf's pen, rubbed his cheeks a few times, and moved his wrist: "The emperor's thoughts, you must not speculate, this is the duty of a courtier, and it is also the way to survive in the court." ”
He stood up, slowly brewed a pot of new tea, and said with a warm smile: "Cao Xiang, instead of living in fear like you, it is better to let go of your hands and feet and work hard to help your uncle do a good job in this big agricultural order." ”
"The emperor is determined to start a war with the Huns, and for my Han, the significance of this battle is absolutely extraordinary, and if it is ......"
Yang Chuan continued with careful consideration: "Let me tell you this, after this battle, we can almost eliminate the main force of the Huns in the Mobei grassland, and drive those wolves out for one or two thousand miles." ”
"From now on, there will be no royal court in Monan!"
Cao Xiang sat up straight, his eyes widened, and he stared straight at Yang Chuan, as if he wanted to see a clue from his handsome face: "Yang Chuan, why does Ben Hou think that your kid is a little wrong this time?" ”
Yang Chuan smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cao Xiang looked up and down, and smiled: "Hehe, something is wrong, why don't you check your body for you?" ”
Yang Chuan stretched out his hand and slapped the huge head three or five times, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, when will you be more serious?" ”
Cao Xiang laughed: "When Ben Hou becomes old, scheming, cunning, cunning, and old and not dead is a thief, do you still recognize me as a brother?" ”
Yang Chuan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll obey you." ”
Cao Xiang took a sip of tea, smacked his mouth, and looked very comfortable.
Every time he is with Yang Chuan, this Pingyang Marquis seems to have become a child who has not grown up, and he comes casually with a lot of nonsense, but he is very comfortable and happy.
"Your current ...... Ahem, you must do a good job as a big farmer," Yang Chuan grabbed Cao Xiang's shoulders and said in a serious tone: "In the last battle of Monan, the Han army was defeated, and the emperor was under great pressure, you know this better than me. ”
"Therefore, this battle must be won by a big victory."
"It is necessary to completely defeat the Huns in the Mobei area, so that they will not be able to turn over for at least one or two decades, and some of our brothers' backhands will be able to make ......"
There are some things that need not be said more when it comes to a certain amount.
Yang Chuan thought about it again and again, and then added a few words: "After returning to Chang'an City, you kid should be a low-key person, just be honest and practical, and don't be too arrogant." ”
"Your uncle likes the vigor of young people, but he doesn't like arrogant and domineering people, especially those of us who are relatives, if we don't get it right, it may cause endless trouble, can you make a note of it?"
Cao Xiang smiled and said, "When will it be your kid's turn to teach Ben Hou a lesson?" Dealing with my uncle, Ben Hou has experience. ”
Yang Chuan muttered that he had 'experience to use a fart', but he didn't say anything.
In the past few years of the war against the Xiongnu, Liu Che was indeed a very great emperor, open-minded and vigorous, even if these young people were more domineering, as long as they could win the battle, they should be rewarded a lot.
The question is.
Once the Huns were beaten down, Nanyue, Donghu, Yelang and the princes of various places were beaten out of and urine, Liu Che looked at it, there was no opponent in the world in his eyes, and at that time, this emperor was the most terrible person in the world.
Or, not people.
In the eyes of many people, this kind of before and after changes are a little uncomfortable, and there are even a lot of crooked bricks and cavemen who claim that Liu Che in his later years may have epilepsy, schizophrenia or something, Yang Chuan can often only laugh at it.
Let's just listen to it.
He stood in front of the window and watched Liu Man leading several servants to pickle vegetables for the winter, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and there was sweat on his head and face; It was very cold in Shuofang City in early winter, and the little woman was wearing a solid mink robe and a pair of deerskin boots.
The big man is a brutal little princess, and she is pickling vegetables for the winter with a group of servants, and the news is about to go out, it is estimated that he Yang Chuan will be scolded half to death, right?
Especially Liu Che's guy, because of Liu Man's matter, he was picking his nose and eyes, how unpleasant he looked, if he saw his daughter pickling vegetables......
Yang Chuan chuckled, his eyes looked at the busy Liu Man, but he asked Cao Xiang: "I heard that your princess is very energetic, have you been pinched recently?" ”
Cao Xiang's mood was not good.
This student waved his hand unlovingly and said, "This is a good person, what do you want her to do!" ”
"Yang Chuan, let me tell you, the women of the old Liu family don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, Liu Man is still young now, and he thinks about how to get close to you all day long, if he waits for her to grow up again, or rather, completely knock your kid down......."
Yang Chuan coughed lightly and scolded with a smile: "You guy, why do you talk a lot as soon as you open your mouth, can you speak normally?" ”
Cao Xiang said: "Okay, then speak normally, this government and the opposition, who doesn't know that the old Liu family's woman is a man?" ”
"You don't know, there have been several times, do you know in broad daylight? Mother actually kicked the palace people and backing women out of the door, just like your father-in-law Wei Qing... Hey, hey, hey! ”
Yang Chuan was speechless for a while.
Damn, this thing has been getting more and more unpleasant lately.
It's a rhythm of untidying, right?
Seeing that Yang Chuan's face gradually became indifferent, and with a strange smile, when he looked at himself warmly, Cao Xiangmeng was excited, and laughed a few times: "Who is that, Brother Yang Chuan, do you know a very bizarre thing that happened in Chang'an City recently?" ”
Yang Chuan smiled warmly: "I don't know." ”
"But you've got something to do now......"
……
Early the next morning, Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang bid farewell to Yang Chuan and returned to Chang'an City first.
As a result, as soon as I got out of the south gate of Shuofang City, I saw soldiers and horses walking in a hurry, driving towards Shuofang City; I saw the flags waving, the war horses and horses, and more than a dozen carriages were also quite magnanimous.
"Who's this?"
After being pressed to the ground by Yang Chuan yesterday and beaten up, Cao Xiang, who had become a pig-headed man, had no place to vent the evil fire in his belly, and saw from a distance that the soldiers and horses were very flamboyant, and couldn't help but give an order: "Go head-on, as long as it is not the emperor, the empress and my mother, don't give way." ”
"Shuofang City belongs to my brother Yang Chuan, who is the mother who came to show off his might?"
So, after a stick of incense.
Shuofang County is a six-zhang wide road, and there is a traffic jam.
Cao Xiang is the Marquis of Pingyang of the Han Dynasty, and he has his own rules and regulations when he travels, but this time he was in a hurry to ask Yu Yangchuan, and the honor guard was somewhat improvised.
Well, it's almost five hundred parts, two or three hundred servants, and grooms, which are about the same as ordinary county guards.
As for the opposite, it is the county keeper who is serious.
Zhu Maichen.
This guy was promoted by Liu Che out of the ordinary, and he became a big farmer, ranking as the third prince, but he was shocked in his heart, because the last big farmer Ling Sang Hongyang was killed for more than a month, and as soon as he took office, he had to raise money and food, prepare soldiers and horses, and weapons for the 150,000 army, and almost killed him.
This guy is also a ruthless man, gritting his teeth, he simply fell off the horse's back and broke one of his legs......
Therefore, this time he was appointed as the Taishou of Shuofang County, and he came to Shuofang County with joy, day and night.
There are so many backstage and capable officialdom figures above the court, why can he, Zhu Maichen, be a cold man, and soar to the sky? It's not because of Sang Hongyang's death that those old thieves are jealous, and no one dares to touch that moldy head.
If you are promoted to get rich and die of your wife, others may still need to strategize, but for Zhu Maichen, it naturally becomes a fact, and it is comfortable to think about it; Shuofang County is a county and county place that was recently set up by the Han Dynasty, and it is in ruins that he has made great achievements......
"Lord Taishou, a soldier and horse in front of you are blocking the way."
Just as Zhu Maichen was contemplating how to make a contribution in Shuofang County, suddenly, a lieutenant approached the carriage and asked in a low voice: "Lord Taishou, there are only three or five hundred honor guards opposite, and the official title should not be ......."
Zhu Maichen coughed lightly and said indifferently: "Persuasion with good words, you can't make trouble as soon as you go up." ”
"If the other party is arrogant and unreasonable, he will take it directly to Ben Taishou!"
