If Liu Che wants to sweep the world, he has to fight; If you want to fight, you need enough money and food.

It just so happened that Yang Chuan was really able to get him money and food.

So, after Sang Hongyang died, the position of Danong Ling went through the two terms of Zhu Maichen and Cao Xiang, and naturally fell to Yang Chuan.

In this regard, Yang Chuan did not refuse, let alone say anything.

In the officialdom of the Han Empire, it has always been similar to the 'dual-track system' used in later generations, that is to say, you have a high title, even if you are a great Han prince like Yang Chuan, if you do not have the actual official title of the imperial court, you can only be regarded as a noble man with a lot of status, a rich man.

But once you are made a marquis, you will be given an official position above the Taishou, especially a key department like the Great Agricultural Order, and you will be considered to have power.

Since then, it has been a powerful family.

The people of the old Liu family are very talented in playing with people's hearts, from Emperor Gaozu to Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and now Liu Che, they have never been good birds.

Therefore, a phenomenon gradually appeared in the Han Empire, that is, there were many 'nobles' such as Cao Xiang, Yang Chuan, and Zhang Lian, and there were also many powerful ministers such as Gongsun Hong, Er Kuan, and Ji Di; But the relationship between nobles and powerful ministers is almost never very friendly, but there are constant disputes, and there are lawsuits every day.

In this way, Liu Che, the emperor, was happy.

Because.

Only when civil and military officials are fighting endlessly, he, the emperor, is the safest......

Yang Chuan is disgusted with this set of manipulation techniques, but what can be done? In such an era of fierce people, even if he Yang Chuan becomes the emperor one day, I'm afraid he can only do this, right?

"Yang Chuan, the run on Qianzhuang hasn't passed yet, can it stand up to it?"

While washing, Liu Che asked vaguely: "Also, is it your idea to let those depositors run over and empty the warehouse of the money bank?" What do you want to do on a dog's day? ”

Yang Chuan sighed: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." ”

"Your Majesty, the money bank that Weichen himself ran by himself, and privately instigated depositors to run on it, and he made himself stink and bankrupt, could it be that his brain is in?"

Liu Che listened to Yang Chuan's foul words, not only did he not get angry, but laughed: "I just say, you Yang Chuan doesn't look like a-eater; Tell me, who did this? ”

Yang Chuan groaned a few times and said with great certainty: "It was Liu An, the king of Huainan, who did it!" ”

Liu Che turned his head sideways and looked at Yang Chuan meaningfully, his two eyes half-narrowed into two narrow slits: "Why?" ”

Yang Chuan didn't think about it, and said affirmatively: "Because, he not only has the motive to commit the crime, but also the capital and ability to commit the crime." ”

Liu Che had never heard of such a new term as 'criminal motive', but this did not affect his judgment: "Are you saying that my imperial uncle masterminded this matter, not only can he sabotage the imperial court's plan to conquer Mobei, but also by the way, he can also sabotage the operation of the imperial court's money and grain, so as to raise a large amount of money and food for his rebellion?" ”

Yang Chuan stretched out a thumbs up in his sleeve and silently gave Liu Che a handmade thumbs up.

Look, this is Liu Che, who has already gone beyond what he has done to draw inferences, but to outline and lead to the point.

As for whether it was done by Liu An, the king of Huainan, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Dachangmen, the proposed decree is to order the general Wei Qing to mobilize 30,000 elites of the Northern Army to crusade against Liu An, the king of Huainan, and if there is resistance, kill him."

"Ling Huo Qu led two thousand Yulin orphans to make a detour to the south, and easily exterminated all those who disobeyed discipline along the way."

"Tell Wei Qing and Huo Quai, this campaign, the imperial court will only give them three months of grain and grass, and let them solve the rest......"

As Liu Che's series of orders were handed down, the entire Han Empire moved in an instant.

Yang Chuan, who was sitting diagonally opposite Liu Che, had no expression on his face, but he was terrified in his heart: 'An army of thirty or forty thousand is only given three months of grain and grass, but it has to fight in the north and south of the river for several months. ’

He suddenly understood one thing, that is, Sima Qian's birdman seemed to be polite to Wei Qing in his historical records, and he was very disdainful of Huo Quai.

Even, between the words, there are a lot of slanderous words faintly flashing.

After Yang Chuan returned to the Han Dynasty, the reason why he firmly held the red-faced Sima Qian in the palm of his hand and prevented him from running around was because he didn't want the goods to be too public, and finally Liu Che cut his balls; On the other hand, he still wants to know what kind of festivals and filthiness he had with Huo Quzhi.

For others, there is not much intersection between Sima Qian and Huo Quzhi, and there seems to be little connection.

But.

For Yang Chuan, it is too important.

Because, once he understands the dirtiness between Sima Qian and Huo Quzhi, he can make arrangements in advance and make preparations for completely breaking the result of Huo Quai's premature death.

Now, it seems, he has found the root cause.

Liu Che.

This greasy middle-aged uncle is the biggest cowardly in π the Han Empire, and there is no doubt about it.

However, what Yang Chuan didn't expect was that the battle of Mobei and the battle of Hexi had not yet broken out, and the strategic blueprint for conquering Mobei had not yet been finalized, but Liu Che had already begun to be yin.

This time, the yin is Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

If you think about it, the army of thirty or forty thousand people traveled long distances and came to the Jianghuai area that they were not familiar with to 'crusade against the rebels', but they did not give enough food and grass, that is, they calculated that they had to burn and loot along the way to get through the difficulties, and by the way, they could also use the two Han gods of war to completely eradicate the hidden dangers in the south.

The ultimate beneficiary is naturally the imperial court, the emperor Liu Che.

However, this battle of 'wanting to add crimes' has been criticized by the court and criticized by hundreds of officials, and then let their uncle and nephew sweep a big circle across the Yangtze River, and the little fame they just saved may have long been wiped out, right?

Whether Wei Qing and Huo Qubing mentioned the historical facts of Ma Jiangnan and arson as a disaster have long been undocumented, but judging from Sima Qian's 'Spring and Autumn Brushwork', there must be another hidden story......

Yang Chuan listened to Liu Che's casual orders one after another, like a general who had a plan in his chest, but he didn't see any confusion or mistakes.

Obviously, these so-called orders have long been mature in Liu Che's heart, and now, they are just casually implementing them.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Army Battalion and the Yulin Army are fully preparing for the Battle of Mobei, but now they have suddenly turned south, and many weapons have not had time to be produced."

Cui Jiu suddenly frowned and said: "What's more, the Northern Army and the Yulin Army have basically not practiced any water warfare methods, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of inappropriateness in this hasty use of troops." ”

Liu Che asked casually: "What's wrong?" ”

Cui Jiu reminded very worriedly: "Although the first emperor divided Huainan into three, Huainan, Hengshan, and Lujiang were respectively given to Liu Chang's three sons, and his eldest son Liu An succeeded him as the king of Huainan, Du Shouchun, there were many filthy disagreements between the three of them. ”

"But Your Majesty, once the army of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing arrives, the three of them will definitely be greatly frightened, and they will quickly unite against the imperial court, plus the waterways in the Jiujiang area are complicated and changeable, and the Northern Army and the Yulin Army will not ...... at all."

Without waiting for Cui Jiu to finish speaking, Liu Che waved his hand: "It is precisely because everyone has this worry that Liu An, the king of Huainan, will be as stable as an old dog, he has calculated that I will not dare to use troops easily, especially since it is rumored that I am going all out to prepare grain, grass and weapons, and prepare to start a war with the Huns in the spring of next year, they are even more sure that the imperial court will not dare to act rashly." ”

"Da Nagato, when I was still seven or eight years old, didn't you tell me the truth that surprise and good fighters are good at calculation?"

"Why, the older you are, the less daring you become?"

Cui Jiu wanted to speak and stopped, but finally turned around and walked out of the main hall, and went to deliver the decree.

Yang Chuan looked confused, and looked up at the domineering Liu Che with some dementia and stupidity, looking very ridiculous.

Liu Che glared at Yang Chuan, and Wen Yan asked, "What does the Marquis of Changning think of my tactics?" ”

Yang Chuan said: "There is no last resort, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable." ”

After speaking, he also stretched out a thumbs up and gave a thumbs up: "Wei Chen was confused at first, and he was terrified, for fear that the tens of thousands of troops of our court would suffer a big loss when they went out to fight. ”

Liu Che let out an 'oh': "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Chuan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty's move should be the so-called plan to destroy the first peace, right?" This move is so good, it's so wonderful, it is estimated that Liu An, the king of Huainan, will be beaten out of......"

Yang Chuan's first sentence was quite literate, but the next words of praise were somewhat shoddy, and even Liu Che couldn't listen to it anymore, so he had to wave his hand and said indifferently: "Isn't this a craft learned from you, a big man cook, it's not interesting." ”

Yang Chuan was really a little confused this time, and couldn't help but ask, "The skill of the cook?" ”

Liu Che picked up a book, flipped through it casually, and pointed: "Don't you cooks often say that you want to govern a big country like cooking a small fresh?" It sounds very powerful, but in fact, it is just to use a little ingenuity, not only to make the fish and shrimp in the pot cook thoroughly, but also not to stir-fry too much and make a mess of rotten meat. ”

Yang Chuan smiled very doggyly: "It's still my uncle!" ”

Liu Che snorted and laughed.

"Didn't you kid call me some second aunt before? Why, why did you become an uncle again? Liu Che looked at Yang Chuan with interest, his eyes blazing: "Do you have any bad intentions?" ”

What bad intentions can a cook have.

Yang Chuan complained in his heart, but his face showed a rare solemnity, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen was born in a despicable background, started from the end of Wei, and after returning to the Han Dynasty, in order to find a thick thigh...... Ahem, in order to seek a trustworthy and reliable backer, I have also been confused, low, and even had thoughts of self-pity and self-abandonment. ”

"However, since I met my mother, Princess Pingyang, I have a foothold, and I have only taken one step at a time, from a small slave and a border pariah, to an official, a lord, and a marquis of our Han Dynasty, and now, it is also appreciated and trusted by His Majesty, entrusted with important responsibilities, and wearing many positions, which can be regarded as a beautiful talk."

"However, the so-called beautiful talk is nothing more than pure talk and empty talk."

"Because Wechen has experienced a lot of hardships, I know that in this life, it doesn't matter what you can do or what you will do."

"What matters is who you're following!"

"With the help of my mother, Weichen finally gradually integrated into the Han Dynasty, and stepped into the court, and gradually understood the deep meaning of why my mother did not let Weichen become an official too early."

"Because, before Weichen didn't understand whose world this Han world was, he rashly broke into the court, that is the way to die......"

Listening to Yang Chuan's generous statement, the expression on Liu Che's face did not change.

However, Yang Chuan noticed that the dozens of fine wrinkles in the corners of the emperor's eyes were very secret and slightly aggravated, and the coldness under his eyes gradually disappeared a lot......

This one, no need to bet, Yang Chuan is right.

After all, no matter when and where, the problem of kneeling and licking and standing in line will always be the biggest problem, and there is no problem with being three or five hundred times more important than personal ability.

Of course, it is a bit too much to say 'kneeling and licking' in this remark.

Clearly taking sides, that's the point, okay.

Even, in order to make this remark more decent, Yang Chuan did not mention Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang, Empress Wei and the crown prince Liu Ju.

He boldly imagined that at the moment, in the eyes of Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, as long as he was involved with Wei Zifu and the crown prince Liu Ju, they were all looking forward to his early death......

Sure enough, Liu Che's mood was inexplicably much better.

He waved his hand very heroically and smiled: "Your kid came just in time, a few days ago, Zhang Qian led a caravan from the Western Regions into the palace to worship, and sent a lot of wine, I don't want to drink it, I will send you a few big barrels when I turn around." ”

"Also, I just invited your mother, your second aunt and your third aunt to the palace for dinner, you cook hard and give us a family feast."

Yang Chuan hurriedly bowed: "Okay." ”

"But uncle, just my mother, my second aunt, and my third aunt?" He smiled while the iron was hot and asked: "Cao Xiang has been squatting in the prison in Chang'an County for more than ten days, is it time to be released and beaten?" ”

Liu Che waved his hand: "Okay, I will whip him with my own hands!" ”

Yang Chuan: "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty has no last resort, thousands of generations, dominates the world, sweeps the world, and the name of the sage spreads far and wide......

……

When I came out of the palace, it was already the middle of the night.

Princess Pingyang, Princess Nangong and Princess Longxi, the third aunt, all have their own bedrooms in the palace, so naturally they don't have to come out, so they naturally go back to rest in peace.

Cao Xiang and Yang Chuan went out of the palace gate, took the carriage of the Pingyang Hou Mansion to the Tianfu world, and under the service of several little women, they took a medicated bath, changed into clean clothes, and set a table of wine and dishes.

Accompanying the emperor to eat is simply a sin.

Especially when eating with Liu Che, that guy likes to eat fatty, leftover lean meat, and throw it over for Cao Xiang and Yang Chuan to eat, and he loses his appetite when he thinks about it.

"It's still your sauerkraut that's delicious."

As soon as Cao Xiang came out of Weiyang Palace, he used the method taught by Yang Chuan to press his voice with one finger to spit out all the greasy meat eaten in Weiyang Palace, and now after a few sips of wine, he felt hungry again.

"Eat more if it's delicious," Yang Chuan took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to be put in prison by your uncle?" ”

Cao Xiang threw the chopsticks on the table, and the whole person was not good.

"Yang Chuan, I think the emperor is going to do something about the disease," Cao Xiang scolded very frustratedly: "People say that unloading the mill kills the donkey, but this mill has not been finished yet, and some people have a crooked mind......
