Liu Zhi kept staring at his eyes, an old fox like Huang Qiong, his expression could be disguised, but the natural reaction of his pupils could not deceive people.

In fact, Huang Qiong's suspicion is not big, after all, he was promoted by himself, and in the case of the Eastern Han Dynasty without the position of prime minister, Taiwei was already a very popular minister.

He really had no motives or reasons to oppose himself.

"I don't know where Dong Taishou is and where they are?"

It is also normal to show curiosity about the strange news that 20,000 troops disappeared for no reason.

"It's easy to say, they sneaked up on the water bandits in Weishan Lake and deliberately hid their whereabouts.

However, those water bandits were also difficult, and they fought with them on the lake for more than ten days before they were annihilated in one fell swoop. ”

Although this reason is a little far-fetched, it makes sense, after all, it is a common operation to march and take a battle by surprise.

Didn't the Liangzhou army led by Duan Xi make a surprise attack last time? I didn't see anyone making a fuss either.

"I see, then I'm relieved."

Huang Qiong nodded thoughtfully, even he felt that something was wrong with this incident, after all, there seemed to be someone behind the whole process.

"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that this matter will not be so troublesome, is there anyone who deliberately coaxed it?"

"Yes, Taiwei has always been aware of everything and is not alarmed, why did he also fall into someone else's way this time?"

Liu Zhi guided the boat along the water.

Huang Qiong was stunned, he lowered his head and recalled the whole story of this incident, starting from the rumors flying all over the sky overnight, to the endless stream of subordinate officials coming to him to "discuss".

During this time, his emotions were almost played with by an invisible hand, and he became more and more tense.

In particular, the worry about whether the palace examination could be successfully held next month made him even more restless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... I'm ashamed. ”

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong's face turned red, she has lived a lot of years, and she has seen a lot of winds and waves, and when she was deposed by the court, she never saw such impetuousness.

Why is he now ranked in the third duke, but he has lost his sense of proportion, and he actually capsized in the gutter, how not to let him be embarrassed.

"There's one thing, I haven't been sure before, so I haven't mentioned it to you, you are a captain, and you should know the truth."

Seeing Liu Zhi's serious expression, Huang Qiong knew that it must be a big deal, "Your Majesty, please speak, and the ministers will listen." ”

At this moment, Huang Qiong's attitude has changed drastically, from the anger when she first entered the door to the guilt and anxiety......

But Liu Zhi is looking forward to it, what will he become in the future?

"Do you still remember when the displaced people from Yanzhou and Qingzhou attacked Si Li?"

Such a big event, Huang Qiong naturally remembers it vividly, and the people of Jingshi were panicked at that time, even more than now.

"At that time, Long Linwei noticed that someone was deliberately inciting the people, spreading rumors everywhere to confuse the public, and even instigating those people who did not know the truth, storming the checkpoints, and beating the officials."

"Is that so?"

Huang Qiong's face was also ugly, at that time he was almost focused on the county exam, and he didn't pay much attention to other things.

But in any case, as a lieutenant, it is an obvious dereliction of duty to not know anything about such a big thing.

"Immediately afterwards, Long Linwei discovered the rebellion of Gongsun Ju and others, and there were also court forces behind the layout, but the minister of King Qinghe secretly entered Beijing and had frequent secret conversations with people."

"King Qinghe?"

Although Huang Qiong was a little surprised, she didn't question Liu Zhi's words, probably because she had heard too many incredible things and felt that anything ridiculous could happen.

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first, especially when he would rather die than obey the thief, which made me very impressed.

But there is more and more evidence that he did not say that he was personally involved, or at least he did not report it, and connived at those people to continue to do evil. ”

Huang Qiong gasped, to be honest, in the hearts of these scholars, they always felt that His Majesty was inferior to Liu Garlic in everything.

Whether it is knowledge, character, strategy and character, Liu Zhi is obviously inferior to the latter.

It's just that creation makes people, Liu Garlic missed the throne twice, and it can only be said that fate is not good.

But despite his regrets, he never thought of abolishing the emperor and establishing another one, which was a rebellious move that shook the country's foundation.

But listening to Liu Zhi's tone, some people in Beijing had a crooked mind and wanted to abolish Liu Zhi and establish King Qinghe as the emperor.

What kind of person is so bold and reckless?

To be honest, in the past five months, his perception of Liu Zhi has also changed a lot unconsciously.

He may have a lot of shortcomings, he is not mellow enough, his methods are a little jerky, but as an emperor, he is too affectionate and sexual, and he lacks thunderous skills......

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that his shortcomings can be said for three days and three nights.

But he has a strange contradictory charm, with the most basic compassion of a Ming Jun, he is determined to forge ahead and ambitious......

In just a few months, his knowledge, heart, skill, and judgment have improved rapidly.

It is almost visible to the naked eye that he is striding forward, and many seemingly imaginative, but genius strategies, always amaze him.

For comparison now, he would rather choose Liu Zhi, although under his rule, the future of Dahan is full of infinite uncertainty.

But he couldn't help but be full of hope, eager to see the future with his own eyes.

And Liu Garlic, who is more than stable but not enterprising, although he has done it well, he never dares to cross the thunder pond by half a step.

He may be a benevolent monarch, but he will only continue the old path of Emperor An and Emperor Shun, and the Han Empire, which shows a sense of decadence everywhere, does not need a monarch who is conservative.

Only with drastic reforms, the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, the courage to do whatever it takes, and the extraordinary strategy, it is possible to turn the decay into magic and regain his life.

Although Liu Zhi can't do this yet, he is trying to get closer to this goal step by step.

Once, he was also a staunch reformer, and he was sparse countless times in the Shun Dynasty, pinpointing the disadvantages of the times, and bitterly exerting it, hoping to be able to accept the old and the new and save the deteriorating empire.

At that time, I was running around with all my might, constantly collecting information, looking for the perfect way to save the world.

Looking back now, I can't help but feel the ups and downs of my heart and my blood surging.

There have been several ups and downs in the officialdom, and he has seen the cold state of the world, but he is already dying, and he has finally waited for the emperor who is willing to change.

But when did he become cautious, looking ahead and backward, complacent for a small achievement, and not wanting to forge ahead?

"Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed to be the head of the three dukes, but if he neglects to do this, it is really ......"

Huang Qiong's voice was slightly choked, she raised her hands and eyebrows, and gave a deep salute, "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Since they met, Liu Zhi had never seen Taiwei so out of shape, he reached out to hold Huang Qiong's palms and looked at him sincerely.

"This matter is too unbelievable, and the captain is fully committed to the new system, what is the crime?"
