Dong Ban lowered his head and thought for a long time, but finally shook his head.

"The minister is not sure, he doesn't know the actual situation of Wuling County, if he goes, he can only find out first, and then improvise."

Liu Zhi smiled approvingly, Dong Ban is still more pragmatic, he will not brag nonsense, and he will take care of everything.

Now it has become a common practice in the court to deceive the upper and lower levels, and the officialdom is deceitful, but it is intertwined and praises each other.

One by one, they all report good news but not bad news, and he almost knows the real situation underneath.

This is also his original intention to establish Long Linwei, only they are his true eyes and ears.

Jingzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it is the throat of the Central Plains and the south.

Coupled with the fertile land and abundant products, it is no wonder that Liu Bei, who was famous for his benevolence and righteousness during the Three Kingdoms, also wanted to take Jingzhou for himself.

What's more, according to what is said in the Three Kingdoms, Wulingman rebelled many times during the period of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, and later Liu Bei sent the veteran Huang Zhong to sit in Wuling, but he still rebelled frequently.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military was tense and rebellions were frequent, and the central government was unable to send troops, so it could only authorize local governors and taishou to recruit private soldiers.

This also directly led to the local governments supporting their own troops, forming a chaotic situation in which the warlords later divided their territories.

Therefore, he must take precautions and nip the war in Jingzhou in the bud.

"Okay, then I will grant you the title of Wuling Taishou, and I will take up the post on the same day."

He also told earnestly, "Wuling is rebellious, suppression is the next policy, I hope you can find out the real reason for their rebellion against the imperial court, so that you can have long-term peace and stability." ”

Dong Ban immediately bowed, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

"If you encounter something that you can't decide, you can play it directly with me through Long Linwei."

"No, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Dong Ban's eyes lit up, this was the greatest privilege he had received as the emperor's direct minister, and with this promise, he was confident that he could completely calm Wuling.

A few people said this, but it was rumored outside that Deng Guiren was coming, Deng Yan was stunned, "Why did she come to the Zhongde Palace?" ”

Liu Zhi smiled, "I asked her to come over." ”

Deng Meng, who was dressed in green, walked in quickly, his face was not powdered, and he had a pretty little face, and when he saw his brother, he couldn't help but smile.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Deng Meng gave a hasty salute, then ran to Deng Yan's side and chattered a series of greetings.

"Big brother, I miss you to death, is my mother okay? Last time, she had some back pain, is it better? And the little brother, did you skip school and run to practice martial arts......"

Deng Yan glanced at Liu Zhi with some concern, "Fierce girl, in front of Your Majesty, don't be presumptuous." ”

Liu Zhi smiled, "It's okay, I called all your brothers and sisters over today to talk about the fierce girl." ”

"What's wrong with the macho girl?" Deng Yan's heart tightened, their brother and sister had a deep relationship, for fear that their sister-in-law would have a pungent personality and anger Liu Zhi.

"The fierce girl has a violent temper since she was a child, and her father spoiled her too much, and she is not informal, if there is any fault, please bear with your majesty."

Liu Zhi waved his hand, "You are too worried, I have a good relationship with you, the fierce girl is like my sister-in-law, because she wanted to kill the Liang thief that day, she had to let her enter the palace." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Deng Meng and asked: "Now that it has been completed, the fierce girl can also retire after success, you say, what reward do you want?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Deng brothers and sisters were all stunned, the two of them, you look at me, I look at you, and Deng Yancai said after a while.

"Your Majesty means to let the fierce girl out of the palace?"

"Yes, I remember that day there was a word in advance, and you also told me that macho women have a bad personality and are not suitable for life in the palace."

Liu Zhi said very naturally that this was what he had promised at the beginning, so he had always treated Deng Meng politely and did not cross the line in the slightest.

Deng Yan was speechless for a moment, the woman's name is as big as the sky, even if Deng Meng and the emperor are really nothing, who will believe it.

How can Deng Meng marry a good family in the future? It's impossible to make a continuation for someone else at a young age.

"Your Majesty, you ...... Do you really want the concubine to go? ”

In silence, Deng Meng suddenly asked in a trembling voice, Liu Zhigang was about to nod, but saw that her eyes were red, and he looked at him stubbornly with tears in his eyes.

A soft corner of my heart was suddenly struck, and I felt unable to answer for a while.

Seeing that he was speechless, Deng Meng suddenly smiled, "Okay, the concubine knows, Deng Meng will not be cheeky and forced to stay, please let Your Majesty allow me to go home and practice in the mountains." ”

"Cultivating in the mountains?"

What do you mean, does she plan to be a Taoist priest, Liu Zhi is angry and funny, how can he make it seem that he has abandoned it from the beginning.

However, he finally understood what she meant, and was reluctant to leave him.

Think about it carefully, in fact, the two of them got along well during this time, Deng Meng was straightforward and cute, but he was knowledgeable and reasonable, and he would not be unreasonable.

It's just that if he expresses his position this time, he will officially accept Deng Meng as his nobleman.

That's it, he is no longer Liu Zhi of that modern society, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he can no longer use the marriage and love of later generations to watch and treat the ancients, otherwise he will only be a cocoon and bind himself.

"Okay, don't get me wrong, I thought you didn't like the palace, and I didn't want to drive you away, in fact, I also hope you can stay."

Deng Meng glared at him, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears, "The concubine has retired first, and you can continue to discuss business." ”

Zhongde Hall is a place to deal with government affairs, according to the rules, the concubine is not allowed to set foot in it, and Deng Meng naturally does not want to be impeached by the imperial historian.

As soon as he walked out of the Zhongde Palace, Deng Meng's face fell, and his mother, Mrs. Xuan, came into the palace to see her a few days ago.

Thousands of instructions were given to let her take advantage of the queen's fall from grace and try to capture His Majesty's heart, so that the Deng family would have a chance to regain its strength.

After entering the palace for a few months, if you want to say that she has no good impression of Liu Zhi, it must be fake, he is young and handsome, and he is also gentle and considerate to her.

But she clearly felt that he had no affection for him.

Deng Meng is a high-minded and arrogant woman, she has been a tomboy since she was a child, and she can't be restrained.

If Sun Shou hadn't forcibly let her enter the palace, she would never have thought of being jealous in the harem in this life.

Once, she had to use her toughness to protect her mother and younger brother, but now, she had to use her identity to protect them.

Cheeky to stay today, what about the future?

A cool breeze blew, and Deng Meng only felt a chill in his heart.

She is not a stunning beauty, how can she serve people for a long time, and she doesn't have the skills and talent of her aunt and grandmother.

Forget it, she believes that with her brother's talent, even without her help, he will definitely get ahead in the future and show his strengths.

She is fierce and disdainful of foxes and seductives.

In the main hall, seeing his sister-in-law's figure disappear at the door, Deng Yan couldn't help but smile.

He could see that Deng Meng really liked His Majesty, and he hoped that she would be happy, instead of being responsible for the interests of the family.

What's more, he is a dignified man, how can he rely on nepotism to get to the top, wouldn't he be ashamed.

"Your Majesty, please give up all official positions, devote yourself to learning, and devote yourself to lecturing and educating people in the future, so as to achieve a clean name for a lifetime."

After saying that, he bent down and bowed, his eyes were extremely firm, "Please Your Majesty!" ”
