Fan Ke hurriedly stopped his pen, and hurriedly ran to the door of the front hall under the puzzled gaze of the hundred officials and ministers.

He raised his loud and high-pitched voice towards the Danqi, who was full of courtiers, and shouted loudly with all his strength.

"The Son of Heaven has an order to summon the old lady Zhang of Changyi Kingdom to the palace!"

"The Son of Heaven has an order to summon the old lady Zhang of Changyi Kingdom to the palace!"

"The Son of Heaven has an order to summon the old lady Zhang of Changyi Kingdom to the palace!"

……

Under the layers of countless confessors, the name of Mrs. Zhang, which is full of strangeness and vulgarity, resounded throughout the Weiyang Palace.

From inside the hall to outside the hall, from the cabinet scholars to the six hundred stone "micro officials", everyone clearly heard the three words of Mrs. Zhang.

These three words of Mrs. Zhang are not even a name, at most they can only be regarded as a title, a very humble title, which means that everyone does not even deserve a name.

A truly famous person will only call himself this way when he is humble, and will never allow others to call himself by such words.

Just like Wei Xian can call himself old, but if someone really dares to call him old, then I'm afraid he will draw his sword and fight with others.

Now, the Son of Heaven calls this old woman an old woman, which naturally makes many people in the palace puzzled.

Except for Gong Sui and a few other people who can freely enter and leave Changyi Palace who know the origin of this old woman, most of the officials and ministers don't know why, and they hesitate for a moment and start to talk to each other.

They talked a lot, speculating about where this old woman was sacred, and the Son of Heaven would announce her on such an important occasion.

Even Liu De, who was "confronting" the Son of Heaven, was replaced by curiosity, and he wanted to know which reinforcements the Son of Heaven would bring in.

The voices of discussion in the hall became louder and louder, and Liu He sat on the imperial couch and saw the appearance of the hundred officials and ministers clearly.

He did not reprimand them for their failure to be in front of the palace, but allowed them to discuss and speculate, which made it easier for fear to ferment.

After a while, the chatter gradually became quieter, for everyone found that no matter how much they talked about it, they couldn't come up with a reason.

No one knows the identity of this old woman: those who know her identity are unwilling to destroy the plan of the Son of Heaven.

So, the eyes of the hundred officials and ministers had no choice but to turn their eyes to the outside of the hall, waiting for the appearance of the so-called old lady Zhang.

Fortunately, this old woman didn't let Yanyan Zhugong wait for a long time - a hobbled figure soon appeared at the end of Danqi.

The officials and ministers could no longer care about the so-called court, and they stretched their necks to look out.

They were surprised to find that this old woman was really an ordinary peasant woman dressed in a coarse linen cloth, and she didn't look extraordinary.

Could it be that this person will not be able to do any witchcraft?

Even though he had doubts in his heart, no one dared to question it, and he fell silent one after another and waited solemnly.

Mrs. Zhang, who was nearly sixty years old, walked out of the front hall in a little staggering, nervous, and a little panicked under the attention of the hundred officials and ministers.

She has been coming to Weiyang Palace for a whole year, and she has been in Changyi Palace for more than 20 years, almost watching the Son of Heaven grow up.

For this king of Changyi, who suddenly became approachable from three years ago and smiled at the slaves all day long, Mrs. Zhang was not afraid.

For this son of heaven, who has been gentle and friendly all year round, and has given food and clothing to slaves from time to time, Mrs. Zhang is not afraid.

But she was afraid of the palace and the envoys, so when she came to the front gate, she still didn't dare to raise her feet to come in.

"Fan Ke, help Mrs. Zhang into the hall!" Liu He said.

"Yui!" After Fan Ke answered, he hurriedly helped him out, and helped the trembling Zhang into the hall.

"Untouchables Zhang's ......" Mrs. Zhang panicked and wanted to bow down and say goodbye.

"Today you are an example and an example to the people, and you do not need to bow down."

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!" Only then did Mrs. Zhang stand firmly.

"Who is willing to give up a seat to Mrs. Zhang?" Liu He looked at all the humanes.

"Weichen is willing to give up his seat to Mrs. Zhang!" An Le seized the opportunity and immediately stood up.

"This, this can't be helped, the untouchables are vulgar, how can they sit in the position of the prime minister of Changyi, they can't be helped!"

Mrs. Zhang is lonely and unheard, where will she know about the changes in the official positions in the court, she only thinks that An Le is still the high-ranking Changyi minister.

Just a pariah, how can you sit in the position of Changyi Xiang.

"Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to sit, so An Qing helped Mrs. Zhang over and sat down tightly!" Liu He said firmly.

"Yui!"

After An Le finished answering, he immediately got up and walked forward, saluted and asked Mrs. Zhang three times as a junior courtesy, and finally let Mrs. Zhang sit down.

"Mrs. Zhang, I said that today you are not only you, but also a representative of the people of the world, so you can sit down in peace." Liu He said.

"Untouchables, thank you for your majesty's seat."

"The word untouchables is not good, it is harsh to hear, the cabinet has drafted an edict, and in the future, it is no longer allowed to use this word to refer to itself or other names, and the people will call themselves commoners no matter who they face." Liu He said.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers spoke in praise.

"Mrs. Zhang is a representative of the common people, so I want to find a representative of a family from the front hall to compare with her, who dares to compare with her?"

The secretary of state was immediately stunned when he heard this, which one did the Son of Heaven think about?

A mere rural woman, even if she has any means, she won't have any credit?

If there is really any credit to the Han Dynasty, how can these courtiers who have eyes and hands not know about it?

Zhang Anshi, Bingji and others shook their heads secretly, once again feeling worried and puzzled by the actions of the Son of Heaven, could it be that the Son of Heaven was really sick?

Because she despises Mrs. Zhang in her heart, of course, no one is willing to stand up and "compete" with her: even if she wins, it is not a glorious thing.

In this way, they express their more direct contempt.

"Since no one took the initiative to ask for help, then I will pick it......"

Liu He looked at the sanctimonious ministers again, and his gaze finally stopped at Liu De's body.

Respect you for three points, call you uncle; If I don't respect you, it's just fish to be slaughtered.

"Elder Liu Ge, are you willing to represent the world's great families and compete with this old woman?"

"Weichen ......" Liu De wanted to express his unwillingness unwillingly.

"Liu Ge always dare?" Liu He smiled disdainfully.

"Why don't you dare!" The method of agitation is the most effective for an upright person like Liu De.

"Good! I give Liu Gong a hit! Liu He clapped his hands a few times slowly, not like praise, but more like mockery.

"Liu Gongnai is a giant in the court, first Zongzheng, and then a cabinet scholar, and his contributions to the court are well known, so there is no need for me to repeat them."

"Please ask Zhugong and I to listen to Mrs. Zhang's family history first, and see what contributions they have made to the Han Dynasty."

"No—"

Liu He didn't wait for the sound of "promise" to end, then turned to Mrs. Zhang and asked in harmony.

"Old Lady Zhang, where are you from?"

"The common people have been Changyi for generations."

"What is the surname of the husband's family?"

"The husband's family is the Liu family of Juye in Changyi, and the common people married into the Liu family at the age of sixteen, and it has been more than 40 years now."

Baiguan Gongqing was a little stunned, they didn't expect that this old woman's husband's family was also surnamed Liu.

The mountain and wild horseman is also worthy of the surname Liu? It's crazy!

"Okay, Liu Ge's surname is Liu, I am also surnamed Liu, and Zhang's husband's family is also surnamed Liu, five hundred years ago, we were all family!"

The Son of Heaven's fluttering words raised the Liu family, who came out of nowhere, to the same status as the Liu family in Pei County.

Meng Lang's words caused a burst of whispered discussions, but no one dared to come out to admonish.

"How old is your husband, and where is he now?" Liu He then asked.

"Liu Bugeng, the husband of the common people, was conscripted to Wuyuan County 30 years ago and inspected Tiantian, but he was besieged by wolves and did not see his body......"

When Mrs. Zhang said this sadness, her cloudy eyes turned red, and she kept wiping her tears with her cuffs.

Those officials and ministers who had despised Mrs. Zhang in their hearts immediately reined in, and felt a slight blush.

"Okay, Fan Ke wrote it down, Changyi Juye Liu sacrificed one person in the prime of life for the Han Dynasty!" Liu He pointed at Fan Kedao freely.

"No!" The latter hurriedly wrote it down on a clean piece of paper.

"How many sons does Mrs. Zhang raise?"

"There are three sons, the eldest son, the second son, Heifu, and the younger son."

"Have you ever been drafted into the army?"

"I have served for two years, one year as a material officer in Changyi, and one year in Jiuquan to ......" Mrs. Zhang's voice trembled a little, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"What is your position now?"

"Twenty years ago...... Twenty years...... When he was on the border of Jiuquan County, he fell from the beacon and died. Mrs. Zhang couldn't cry anymore.

"Fank! Make a note of it again! Changyi Guojuye Liu sacrificed two people in the prime of life for the Han Dynasty! ”

"Yui!" Fan Ke didn't dare to stop writing.

This time, even the faint voice of discussion disappeared, and the eyes of the hundred officials and ministers looked at Mrs. Zhang with more admiration and shame.

"Heifu and Jingmei once served in the Han army?"

"Heifu served as a boat soldier in Changyi for a year, and served as a city patrol pavilion in Chang'an City for a year, and now he has opened a roast duck restaurant in Chang'an City, which is the capital given by His Majesty."

"Jing Mei worked as a voice shooter in Changyi for one year, one year in Yuyang, and now he is in Changyi Lang...... Appointment rate. ”

"Thanks to the protection of His Majesty, thanks to the protection of Tai Yishen, Heifu and Jingmei are free from illness and disaster, and their limbs are sound and ......"

When Mrs. Zhang talked about these two sons who were still alive, she finally wiped away her tears and smiled a little in her bitterness.

This is his most simple wish, and the reason why she can get these comforts is because of Liu He.

Dahan doesn't know how many people like Mrs. Zhang, they don't have the adventure of climbing the Son of Heaven, and it is more difficult to change their fate.

Liu He has to save not only the people in the present, but also the people in the world.

"Does the old woman have grandchildren under her knees?"

"Yes, yes, the eldest son has a son, who is now twenty-two years old, and is serving as a knight in the country of Changyi."

"Heifu has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is sixteen, and he is also a knight in Changyi Kingdom, and the boy is seven years old, and he has been sent to a private school to read the scriptures.

"Shocking eyebrows have not yet been married, he often says that he wants to learn from the hussar general, the Huns will not be destroyed, why should he be a family."

Mrs. Zhang chattered down and "counted", and the whole person gradually relaxed, this front hall is like the willow tree at the mouth of the hometown Lu Lane, which is a good place to talk about the shortcomings of the family.

"Fan Ke, remember the Changyi Juye Liu clan again, and four other people served in the Han Dynasty!"

"Yui!" Fan Ke replied decisively, and the sound of "brush, brush, brush" came from the pen again.

Except for this lively voice, the inside and outside of the hall were extremely quiet, and no one dared to despise the Changyi Liu clan anymore.

Liu He didn't ask any more questions, he stepped down from the top spot, stood in front of Mrs. Zhang, and saluted her as a junior.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't, ...... it" Old Lady Zhang got up and was about to dodge.

"The old woman accepted this gift, not only to the old woman, but also to the dead Liu Bugeng and Liu Xin, but also to the people of the world."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red again, and she finally accepted the gift of the younger generation of the Son of Heaven without refusing.

After saluting, Liu He stood up straight with an indifferent face and walked in front of Liu De opposite.

"Liu De, three generations of your family, has anyone ever sacrificed his life for the Han?" Liu He said without the slightest emotion.

"Not ever." Liu Dean sat on the couch and didn't feel any different.

"Within those three generations, can anyone serve the Han Dynasty?" Liu He asked again.

"Nor has it been." Liu De was still sitting on the couch, but his face was a little red.

"In those three generations, have you ever paid taxes to the Great Sinong or the Shaofu?" Liu He asked again.

"No taxes have been paid except for the contributions." Liu De still said calmly.

"Liu Ge Lao replied simply, then do you dare to claim that the family is the foundation of the Han Dynasty in front of Zhang Laoyu?" Liu He sneered again.

"The lieges can be exempted from tax and rent, and they are exempt from forced labor, which is a system of the Han Dynasty, and the ministers have never violated the law." Liu De's words were a little stuck, and he was not arrogant.

"The law is just the bottom line of words and deeds, Liu Ge is familiar with the books of sages, is he just taking the law as the criterion, and does not have the slightest sense of moral integrity?"

What Liu He said was the truth, and the hundreds of officials and ministers in the hall naturally understood the difference between the two.

At the moment, even Liu De was speechless.

In private, the family and the court can ignore "courtesy, righteousness and shame"; But when it comes to the table in public, they can't turn a blind eye.

For a while, many people in the hall seemed to be poked in the sore spot, and bowed their heads and said nothing: Liu De was also ashamed.

After a moment of silence, it was Bingji, a man who rarely spoke, who stood up to break the siege.

"Your Majesty, although the old clan of Liu Ge does not serve or pay taxes, but their three generations are all Zongzheng, and they are dedicated to assisting the Son of Heaven, and their contributions to the Han Dynasty are greater, Your Majesty is Mingjian." Bingji said.

For a long time, although Bingji followed Zhang Anshi and others in the same footsteps, he rarely directly opposed Liu He, nor did he forcefully prevent the boycott of the new deal.

In addition, in order to make Liu ill, Bingji can do such a "bad thing" as sending someone to assassinate Liu He, Liu He has certain expectations and good feelings for this Zhaoxuan minister.

But unfortunately, Bingji's ass still sits crookedly; Since you sit crookedly, you have to beat it well.

"Okay, then I want to ask Elder Bingge, would you like to change your life with the Liu family of Changyi!?"

"This ...... This ......" Bingji was speechless for a while, and then seemed to think of a possibility, and looked at the Son of Heaven with a panicked face, not knowing what the Son of Heaven meant.
