Chapter 430 The Third Son of the Sun Family
After dealing with the matter of Funan and rushing to Chenla the next day, the King of Chenla also expressed to Liu Mo that he was willing to return. After all, even Funan had already returned, and Chenla’s national strength was not as good as Funan. He knew in his heart that If he doesn't agree, Funan certainly doesn't mind leading the way for the Han army, and using Chenla's demise in exchange for future prosperity and wealth.

Faced with such a situation, the King of Chenla did not hesitate at all, and immediately expressed his surrender.

Liu Mo came to the Southwest on the [-]th and the event was accomplished.

What Sun Jian was most worried about happened. When he rushed to Yangzhou with great hard work, met with many children from his hometown, and made plans to send troops, the front urgently reported that the two countries had surrendered. Sun Jian was dumbfounded. How many days have passed? ?How come it has already worked?

Afterwards, Liu Mo hurried back to Yangzhou with the two kings. They needed to meet the Son of Heaven in person. Huang Zhong still followed Liu Mo. Now, he did not dare to underestimate this timid Dongyi man. , This man has a great talent, a few words saved a war and pacified the southwestern land for the country. Liu Mo had never met Sun Jian before, so he went to meet him in his camp.

Perhaps Huang Zhong hadn't seen this old friend for a long time, so he paid a visit with him.

After entering the camp, I saw Sun Jian sitting on the upper seat, holding two children in his arms, and a young man standing beside him, talking with a smile, seeing Liu Mo and Huang Zhong walking in, Sun Jian smiled and stood up, with his arms in his arms. Still hugging the two children, Liu Mo was taken aback. The two children were not young, and General Sun just stood up like this, with the same expression on his face, really strong!

He ignored Liu Mo, put the child down, and quickly walked to Huang Zhong's side. The two hugged each other violently. They were both friends of the former Southern Army and fought together. However, one stayed in Luoyang. The other went to Yangzhou, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. When old friends met, they talked very happily. Liu Mo was left alone, and he didn't complain, and he didn't dare to complain.

Both Huang Zhong and Sun Jian are several heads taller than him, and even the young man standing behind Sun Jian is the same. The lumpy flesh all over his body makes Liu Mo tremble with fear. This Yangzhou native is What did he grow up on? Sun Jian pulled Huang Zhong enthusiastically and introduced him: "These are all my incompetent uprights!"

He glared at them again and said, "Hurry up and meet uncle!"

The young man got up, cupped his hands and said: "Nephew Ce, pay respects to the two uncles!"

"Nephew Quan, pay respects to the two uncles!"

"Nephew Yi, pay respects to the two uncles~"

The two little fellows also imitated their elder brother's appearance and greeted them in a dignified manner. Huang Zhong was overjoyed. His child is older than Sun Ce. He is now in Nanyang. He has been weak and sick since he was a child. He has not seen his child for a long time. Now, when I saw Sun Ce and the others, I felt a little excited, helped them up, and started to ask again, did you ever study, what books did you read and so on.

When Sun Ce replied with some pride that he had read several books on the Art of War, Huang Zhong praised him endlessly.

Huang Zhong chatted for a while, then remembered Liu Molai, holding Liu Mo's hand, he dragged him to the front of the crowd, looked at Sun Jian, and said, "This is Mr. Liu, the censor"

Liu Mo smiled and saluted Sun Jian.

Sun Jian returned a salute with some contempt, and asked, "Is this Lord Dongyao who fought with all the ministers in the court?"

Liu Mo was taken aback, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am right, everyone knows me, it seems that I, Liu Mo, have a good reputation!" Huang Zhong heard the hostility in Sun Jian's words, and pulled him away. Pulling Sun Jian, Sun Jian didn't say much, they chatted for a while, Liu Mo left, but Huang Zhong stayed in the tent, Sun Jian dismissed the children again, and the two chatted alone.

"Wentai, I think you seem to dislike Liu Jun?"

"Hehe, him?" Sun Jian sneered, and said, "He is just a barbarian. Emperor Xiaokang gave him an official position because of his contribution to donating soil. I don't know, this guy is getting more and more defiant, scolding all the officials in the court, Even Mr. Zhang, who has always been protective of him, he did not let go, such an ungrateful, arrogant and rude barbarian."

It was the first time Huang Zhong had heard of this. He widened his eyes and said, "I see that Liu Mo is not like that in his words and deeds."

"You don't know, these barbarians just like to put on a show. It's okay, you will know when you go to Luoyang."

"Luo Yang??" Huang Zhong was taken aback.

Sun Jian suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, you don't know yet." He pondered for a moment, and said, "Taiwei Zhang has passed away."

Huang Zhong was startled, got up quickly, stared at him wide-eyed, and was silent for a long time before asking: "When did it happen?"

"It was the day I left Luoyang," Sun Jian lamented, and said, "The Son of Heaven took Jia Xu, the governor of Ningzhou, as the Taiwei. Dong Gong was worshiped as the General of the Left, and he wanted to take over your Yangzhou Navy. Yuan Shu became the General of the Rear , I want to be transferred back to Luoyang, I heard that I am going to enter the imperial court, I have become a general of Zhenxi, and I am going to take over Yuan Shu's Xiliang, you are also listed as the Northern Army Zhonghou, and you are going to be transferred back to Luoyang. "

"This is." Huang Zhong didn't react for a moment, his eyes widened.

"There are also Huangfusong, Dianwei, Zhang Ji and the others who have also changed their defense zones. It seems that His Majesty doesn't want us to stay in one place for a long time. I will go to Xiliang in the future. I don't know when I can see my family again. So while I was still in Yangzhou, I called the children over."

"Sigh..." Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Although Yangzhou is desolate, I've been here for a long time, but now I'm a bit reluctant to leave."

"Hahaha~~~" Sun Jian raised his head and laughed loudly, and said, "Don't say this outside, otherwise, I'm afraid His Majesty will think you are attached to your subordinates." This time, the behavior of the generals was very thorough. The promotion seemed like a good thing, but unfortunately, they were completely replaced, but they were not allowed to take away the original subordinates, and their confidantes stayed in other places, working alone.

The promotion and title are to appease them, and they dare not disobey the order of the emperor. With such a precedent, the emperor has once again divided the military power in various places, seriously weakening the rights of the generals. There is still Zhang Wen in the court who can stand up for them, but when Zhang Wen dies, no one can protect them
Huang Zhong chatted with Sun Jian for a long time, and it was late at night when he said goodbye.

The next day, Huang Zhong and Liu Mo left Yangzhou, bid farewell to Sun Jian and left. Sun Jian still wanted to accompany the children, so he was in no hurry to leave. Huang Zhong and Liu Mo started on the road. Liu Mo found that, for some reason, Huang Zhong's attitude towards him has changed again. He is no longer as enthusiastic as before, but a little distant. Of course, Liu Mo is still extraordinarily enthusiastic, and he keeps talking without interruption.

In the fifth year of Xiping, the death of the Taiwei gave the emperor the opportunity to attack the generals from all over the country. Just relying on one-handed exchange, these generals who held military power became lonely, and they no longer had any confidantes. The emperor What was paid for this was nothing more than a few military lords. This was a policy implemented by Guo Jia himself, and after discussions between Cao Cao and Xun Yu and others.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if there is no permission from the emperor, where would these people dare to touch such a sensitive area as military power?

The emperor sat in the hall of Houde, and on the case in front of him, there were piles of snow-white memorials piled up like hills. The emperor frowned and looked at them one by one. He took the latest few letters, read them for a while, and thought, "this It is not surprising that Sun Jian met Huang Zhong, they are good friends, but Sun Jian has not gotten up yet, so he is dissatisfied with my order?"

"And Huang Zhong's reluctance to abandon Yangzhou? Is it the reluctance to abandon Yangzhou, or the reluctance to abandon his confidants?"

"Dong Zhuo came here very diligently, but he has brought fifty relatives with him, and he still has a lot of confidantes."

"Well, the rest of them are pretty good. However, Yuan Shu also brought two people?"

"Forget it, just two people"

The emperor looked at them one by one. These were the secret reports submitted by Zhang Xi. The embroidered clothes messenger had developed for more than 20 years after Emperor Xiaokang was rebuilt. , expanded many times, after more than [-] years of development, the Embroidered Clothes Messenger has reached a terrifying level, their spies are all-pervasive, allowing the emperor to sit firmly in Luoyang and watch the world.

There are a lot of embroidered messengers, and they are spread all over the counties and counties of the Han Dynasty, even in the pavilions at the lowest level. They also have their eyes and ears. No one knows who is the best spy of the embroidered messengers, especially It was the ministers, and there were even more spies arranged around the generals, and the emperor's spies were planted around anyone, even around confidantes like Cao Cao and Xing Ziang.

This time, it was the emperor's original idea to attack the generals. After discussing with Guo Jia, there was a previous edict, and Cao Cao and others also participated. Of course, this was to allow the generals and the new ministers to appear together. Contradictions, only in this way can the emperor feel at ease, the ministers of Jianning are getting old, and soon these new ministers will become the core of the temple.

If it can make them discord with the generals and prevent the possibility of the generals reconciling, the emperor will definitely be happy.

That's why he didn't ask those old ministers, but instead asked people like Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu to do this. These courtiers thought it was the favor of the emperor, and they were very happy.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, sighed and shook his head, he never thought that the person who hates schemes and schemes like him would become like this now, the confidant he trusted before, but now he is Finding a way to target them, he would become like this, which he never imagined. He found that he was more and more like Emperor Xiaokang.

He used to really want to be more like his father, but now, he has gradually realized that there is only one Emperor Xiaokang, and he will never be able to become Emperor Xiaokang. It's me, the current emperor of the big man, unique, he doesn't have to be like his father in everything, he can be the emperor of the big man himself.

Moreover, I will never treat my eldest son as cruelly and harshly as Emperor Xiaokang did, and I will never let Mastiff be treated as coldly as I was when I was a child!
The emperor thought to himself.

Suddenly, he missed Mastiff a little in his heart, got up, moved his body, and called Hanmen, and went with him to Yongle Palace to meet his only son. Standing in a petite figure, the little fat man was stunned for a moment, pulled Han Men who was about to come forward to speak, and watched quietly, Princess Raoyang was holding the mastiff with difficulty, sitting on the steps with bare feet.

She turned her back to the emperor, holding the mastiff, talking to herself.

"Mastiff, you must remember what Auntie told you, and keep an eye on your father all the time!"

"You don't know, fathers like to leave their children and run away"

"My father ran away, and I don't know where he went."

"They said it was in the west of the city, but I went there before. There are only some signs there, and there is no father."

The little fat man pursed his lips, looked at them, his heart was very complicated, he walked over cautiously, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and stroked little Rao Yang's head, Rao Yang was startled, turned his head hastily, and saw the person coming , laughed and shouted: "Brother! You are here!"

She has also grown up, and now she is six or seven years old, and she no longer always calls the emperor as her father, but she is not as restrained as the others, she always calls him elder brother, and does not salute, but the little fat man doesn't mind , He loved Rao Yang very much, but Mastiff still bit his finger, when he saw the little fat man coming, he grinned and rushed towards him.

The little fat man took the little guy from her arms, let the little guy pull his beard, and laughed.

Rao Yang looked at them quietly, his eyes full of envy.

"Ha~~~ and you!" The little fat man suddenly bent down, hugged Rao Yang, and hugged the two guys at the same time. Rao Yang didn't struggle, and stayed in his arms obediently, mastiff But the son burst into tears, probably because he felt that Rao Yang had robbed his father, the little fat man suddenly had a headache, and hurriedly asked the maid to call the queen to take care of the mastiff.

The queen came and took the little guy away.

The little fat man didn't care about the majesty of the emperor, sat on the steps, let Rao Yang sit on his lap, quietly looked into the distance, lost in thought.

Rao Yang suddenly turned his head and asked:
"Brother?"

"Um"

"Where did father go?"

The little fat man pursed his lips, but a mulberry tree appeared in his mind.
"Father, he went to a far away place, he"

"Did he abandon us?"

"Hahaha, why did father abandon us? He... went to the sky", the little fat man pointed to the sky, and said; "he lives in the sky, watching his little Raoyang all the time? If the father has something to say, he will speak to the sky when there is no one else, and if the father can hear it, he will write to you."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, look up and take a closer look."

Rao Yang widened his eyes, raised his head, and looked up.

"Brother! Brother!!"

"Ok?"

"I saw it!!"

"Father is smiling at me!!!"

"Yeah, I saw that too"
