Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 897 Leave it to my old Zhang to deal with
Wang Mou was speechless when he heard this. The Shaofu managed private property and life for the royal family, but Liu Bei practiced frugality when he ascended the throne and did not save private property. Chatting with Pang Tong, Fazheng and other courtiers, he felt that it was inappropriate.

In the past, when Liu Bei went to Shu to stabilize the situation, he accepted the widowed Mrs. Wu under the advice of Fazheng. Why is the same situation not working now?Perhaps the relationship between myself and His Majesty is not close enough?Wang Mou looked at Fazheng expectantly, but the other party did not respond to his fiery eyes.

"Your Majesty, although Wang Shaofu's words are biased, it is also out of consideration of the royal family's face. Now that the Yongliang area is relatively stable, we can bring Mrs. Sun and Wu, as well as the crown prince, to the capital, so that we can stop gossip from the outside world." Lai Gong acts as a peacemaker to resolve the embarrassing situation.

After Wang Mou heard this, he said in his heart that the old fox brought the two wives to the capital on the surface, but the real intention was for the prince.

Wang Mou thinks that Taichang is the head of the Nine Ministers who is in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple. In order to protect the rights and interests of the prince, the current emperor should not be "suffered". Empress Gan has passed away for several years.
Seeing that Liu Bei was hesitating, Wang Mou cupped his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with what Lai Taichang saw. The two ladies can fill the harem when they come to the capital, and they can also properly arrange Sun Quan's wives and concubines. Madam Sun and Sun Quan have brothers and sisters. Take care of these people, and then show your majesty's broad mind."

Wang Mou himself had no selfish intentions. This suggestion was originally intended to be for the country, but he also wanted to give Lai Gong some eye drops, and said in his heart that he should not only focus on the prince, but Liu Bei didn't appreciate it at all.

When Lai Gong made a suggestion, Liu Bei on the dragon chair was still a little moved, but what Wang Mou said later touched a minefield, and the emperor's face collapsed in an instant. Because of Sun Quan's frequent backstabs, Mrs. Sun's identity is very sensitive. Liu Bei In order to keep the mother and daughter alienated deliberately, if Sun Quan's wife and children were taken to the capital, wouldn't it be troublesome?
In the year of Empress Gan’s death, rumors were flying all over Chengdu. Wu Yi’s brothers and sisters were so frightened that they expressed their loyalty frantically. Sun Shangxiang was lucky to be protected by Gan Qian. Liu Bei was furious at that time, and the whole city was arrested. It also laid the bane for the Nanzhong rebellion.

"Although Guanzhong is temporarily stable, Chengdu is thousands of miles away. If there is any mistake on the way, who can take responsibility? It is better to wait for the prime minister to calm down the Nanman, and then escort the wife and the crown prince back to the capital to return to their orders." Liu Bei replied lightly.

"But." Wang Mou is a native of Hanjia in Yizhou (the area around today's Ya'an), and Hanjia County is adjacent to Yuexi County (the area around today's Xichang). Wang Mou knows that Nanzhong is a place without plague and the road is dangerous Okay, to completely wipe out those traitors in the Southern Man, it will not be achieved in a short time, and Zhuge Liang may still be preparing.

Liu Bei interrupted Wang Mou, then waved his hand lazily: "That's it for today, I'm a little tired, you guys go away first."

"only."

All the ministers in the hall bowed solemnly to the king at the same time, and then withdrew from the Xuanshi Hall one after another. After Wang Mou paid his respects, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something and quickly chased him out.

Wang Mou caught up with Lai Gong on the steps outside the hall, and said seriously: "Too often, please take a step to speak."

Lai Gong guessed that Wang Mou wanted to continue the conversation in the hall, so he followed him to a corner outside the Xuan Room without hesitation, and asked with a smile on his face, "What's the matter with Yuan Tai?"

"Too often in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple, you should know what the royal family should look like, but it has been several months since your majesty ascended the throne, and the harem is still empty, and there are no concubines to sleep in. Such a big loss of the emperor's dignity, you and I should advise your majesty. Your Highness obstructing it?" Wang Mou's voice was filled with reproach.

Lai Gong replied nonchalantly: "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty. The world is uncertain at this time, and it will be more ambitious not to expand the harem. Why should Yuan Tai be so persistent? Your Majesty's ambition is to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. How can he be hindered by beauty? Wait until the country is restored. Return to the unified system, you and I will not be too late."

"Taichang loves the prince, who knows that all the princes in the court? But you can't just think about the prince and make His Majesty suffer?" Wang Mou asked bitterly.

"How does Your Majesty suffer? Only by singing and singing every night can you have the majesty of the emperor? Your Majesty is already sixty years old, can the dragon body experience such exhaustion? Besides, when His Majesty was unsuccessful in the past, he often fell asleep with the two generals Guan and Zhang at night. Now What's wrong with staying with Situ and the Taiwei to talk late at night?" Lai Gong argued hard.

"Singing and singing every night is naturally inappropriate. Is it appropriate to have a harem? Empress Gan has passed away for many years, and Her Majesty cannot be made to compromise just because General Lan is the pillar of the country." Seeing that Lai Gong's argument was extreme, Wang Mou expressed his true thoughts. out.

Lai Gong's head got dizzy when he heard that, and he asked bitterly: "When did Your Majesty compromise? How did it involve General Lan? Yuantai, I find your thinking is very dangerous."

"Hmph, whether what I said is true or not, Taichang naturally knows in his heart that although General Lan is a high-ranking and powerful person, he is also a reasonable and loyal person. If you don't sympathize with His Majesty, I will write to General Lan to persuade His Majesty." Wang Mou Say something that makes Lai Gong feel unbelievable.

"Heh, if the young master can let General Lan take concubines, then I will really admire you." Lai Gong laughed dumbfounded.

"Don't worry too much. Wang Mou's duty is to be righteous to General Lan. He has the titles of Empress Gan and Prince. What worries does he have? Farewell."

After Wang Mou finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left, Lai Gong waved behind him with a smile on his face, "I wish you success."

When Lai Gong continued to descend the steps, he looked back at the Xuanshi Hall of the Chaohui. He vaguely saw the small yellow gate next to Liu Bei just now, and stopped Pang Tong, Fazheng, Zhang Fei and others, probably leaving a few important officials behind. A small meeting was held to discuss how to arrange Sun Quan's concubine Ji's children, and there should be a definite number soon, thinking that Wang Mou's jumping up and down would be a waste of time.

In the small hall behind the Xuanshi Palace, Liu Bei left Pang Tong, Fazheng, Zhang Fei, and Song Chen to discuss how to help Lantian quickly stabilize Yangzhou and how to effectively respond to the Central Plains offensive in Huainan.

The issue of Sun Quan's family members was not within Liu Bei's consideration at all. Instead, Zhang Fei jumped out first, slapped his chest and said, "Your Majesty, if you think it is difficult for Sun Quan's wife and daughter to settle down, why don't you leave it to my old Zhang? I am not afraid of rumors. "

When Liu Bei heard what a good guy, he thought to himself, how old are you, third brother?The Xiahou family who married back then was not very old, did he consider for himself or for his son?

"Ahem, there's no need to talk about such a trivial matter, just let Ziyu handle it at his own discretion. I can rest assured that he will handle the matter, Song Qing, what do you think?" Liu Bei looked at Song Chen when he spoke, and it was almost a verbal instruction.

Liu Bei didn't want Zhang Fei to have anything to do with the Sun family. The marriage between Liu Chan and Zhang Fei's daughter had already been decided. By then, Sun Quan's descendants would become Han relatives. Wouldn't that be a joke?
