Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 514 Prince of the Eastern Palace
On that day, Liu Mastiff was not in a hurry to return to Yuan Mansion, so he stayed in the palace.

On that day, the emperor directly let him live in the East Palace, which was already very obvious. The Hanmen took Liu Mastiff to the East Palace. Liu Mastiff was even more excited when he went to the Han Gate of the East Palace. He smiled and said, "I haven't been to the East Palace for fifteen years."

"The East Palace has not been inhabited for fifteen years"

When they arrived at the East Palace, Han Men ordered the left and right to bring out all the Yellow Gates in the East Palace to meet His Highness. After waiting for a while at the main gate of the Palace, Liu Mastiff and Han Men saw a group of Huang Men panicking. Running outside, when he came in front of Liu Mastiff and others, he wanted to salute the Han family. The Han family was startled, and reprimanded him: "Presumptuous, don't hurry to pay your respects to Your Highness!!!"

Only then did the Huangmen come to their senses, and hurriedly went to see Liu Mastiff.

Liu Mastiff smiled lightly, and said: "Everyone, please come up, these few days, according to my father's order, I will rest here, what a trouble!" Huangmen saluted again, Hanmen reprimanded again : "If you don't go, hurry up and clean up the hall for Your Highness!!", watching Huangmen run in, Hanmen then looked at Liu Mastiff, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, we are all His Highness's servants, Your Highness Wan You can't be so peaceful."

"These little slaves, they all act according to their faces. The more kind Your Highness is, the more arrogant they will be. Today is fine, but in the future, there will be those who condone their relatives to do evil, collect money, and betray their bosses. Your Highness is still Always scold me." Han Men said in a low voice, Liu Mastiff heard it, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your guidance."

"How dare the servants take the words of His Highness's thanks! However, His Highness is kind, and it is hard to think about it. If His Highness does not blame, the servants will stare at them for His Highness in the future."

"it is good."

Under the urging of the Han family, the little yellow family quickly finished their work and welcomed Liu Mastiff into the East Palace. In fact, the East Palace has to be cleaned every day, and there is nothing messy about it. However, they still have to work hard to make He walked into the East Palace in a gesture of greeting the prince, and Hanmen let out a long sigh. In the past, he served as the Order of the East Palace and maintained the affairs of the East Palace. This East Palace is like a small imperial palace, complete with all kinds of halls.

On the one hand, it is to sharpen the prince, and on the other hand, it is to sharpen the Huangmen. The Xiaohuangmen in the East Palace are usually the youngest, brightest, and innocent people in the palace. When they arrived at the East Palace, Hanmen felt all sorts of feelings in their hearts. Back then, when the country just came to the East Palace, the excitement of the country was the same as that of His Highness. Eh? ?

Han Men turned his head and looked at Liu Mastiff beside him.

Liu Mastiff's expression was normal, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of joy. He didn't even observe the surroundings. He kept looking at the yellow gates in front of him. Maybe he noticed the surprised eyes of the Han gates on the side. Liu Mastiff turned his head. He smiled and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to take a rest." Hearing what Liu Mastiff said, Hanmen left.

Xiao Huangmen also wanted to introduce the situation in the palace to Liu Mastiff, but knowing that Liu Mastiff was tired, he didn't say anything more, and took him to the study.

Sitting in the study room, he took out the book from his pocket and put it on the copybook. Liu Mastiff stared at the book on the copybook, his forehead twitched lightly, closed his eyes, and slowed down. The joy in his heart was unspeakable. Exit, stretch out his hand, caressing the writing, the writing is a bit old, and the three big characters "Three Kingdoms" on the cover are also blurred. From the mouth of my father, he learned that this book came from Yeye.

The Holy Son of Heaven who is still chanted by people all over the world, Emperor Renmiao Xiaokang.

It is said that when Yeye was young, he inspected the people's conditions by the river, and a golden dragon came out of the water, uttering words, and concluded that Yeye was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and handed the book to Yeye, thinking about Yeye, oh Father, he has held a book in his hand for countless nights and observed it carefully. Liu Mastiff felt a sense of sacredness in his heart. Liu Mastiff closed his eyes and muttered in his mouth:
"I hope Yeye's soul in the sky will bless you. I, Liu Mastiff, will live up to Yeye's father's high hopes, live up to the great achievements of my ancestors, and revitalize my country. Now, I have to read the heavenly book. If Yeye agrees, I, Liu Mastiff has the order of the emperor, please tell your grandson!!!”

"Boom!!" In an instant, the windows in the hall were blown open by the strong wind, and the books on the desk were constantly being opened! !
The scene in front of him made Liu Mastiff stunned. He seemed to see that Yeye was sitting next to him, flicking through the book hurriedly. He stepped back a few steps and bowed to the copybook. When he stood up, Huangmen was already in front of him. He waited at the door, and when he received Liu Mastiff's response, he hurried in, fixed the window, and then left, and then Liu Mastiff began to open the heavenly book.

Obviously, this is a history book, but what's in it? ! ! ! ?
"Mr. Cao!! Aren't you Shi Xinzheng? Why?"

"Mr. Dong!!!"

"Grand Liu!!!!"

"Zhongda!!!!!!"

"Master!!!!!!!!!"

Since Liu Mastiff entered the study, he has not gone out. These days, he has been staying in the study, studying day and night. The Huangmen did not dare to disturb him. They brought food every day, and some Huangmen will report Liu Mastiff's situation to However, the emperor didn't worry too much, he just made the Huang family look at it, and he knew in his heart how much impact this book would have on Liu Mastiff.

Three days later, the emperor held a court meeting.

Now the center of government affairs is no longer on the New Deal. Of course, this is because the foreign trade has been cut off, so that all the current sources of finance fall on the New Deal and southern sea trade. At this time, veterans like Lu Zhi who firmly oppose the New Deal , and didn't say much, in their hearts, the New Deal is still an unenforceable policy.

This policy will sooner or later ruin the prosperity of today. However, during this period of time, we still have to endure it, and we must not let the national treasury collapse in an instant, which will cause more serious consequences.

But now the dispute in the temple is still on the war against Guishuang.

The emperor wanted to save the merchants and the people, and the ministers agreed. This is true. At first, they thought that the emperor used his troops just to save the merchants and show Guishuang the power of a big man. However, the ministers did not expect that Dong Zhuo would not come back after he went to Guishuang. From the latest battle report, they learned that Dong Zhuo had captured the entire Sogdia region!
Is this a rescue of merchants?In order to save merchants, you captured a state in Guishuang?According to the systems of the two sides, Guishuang has no system of counties and counties. The areas commanded by these princes are equivalent to the states of the Han Dynasty. Even if you break through the other party's government and rescue the captured people, it makes sense , but conquering a state is a bit too much.

The ministers have always opposed war, and a country that is warlike will die. This sentence has always been kept in their hearts. Even a minister like Lu Zhi, who is obsessed with the military, is firmly opposed to the war with Guishuang. I hope the emperor can withdraw it. army.

Of course, it’s not out of selfishness that they think this way. Dahan and Guishuang are both powerful countries with vast territory and excellent soldiers. If the two countries go to war, the loss of national power will definitely be very serious. After the two armies of the North and the South set off to the Western Regions, Liang, Yi, and the Western Regions suffered heavy damage. In order to be able to continuously transport the luggage to the battlefield, the roads were blocked and money was vacant.

The water conservancy of the Chidao that was supposed to be built was all stopped, and the government didn’t even have the strength to subsidize the people to buy spring seeds and give cattle. The government’s cattle were helplessly used as military rations, and the money in the treasury was also growing rapidly. Consumption, the accumulation of these decades of prosperous times, is almost bottoming out. The government in the northwest region has to undertake war transportation, and this heavy responsibility will naturally fall on the people.

The northwestern region had just started to improve, and was beaten back to its original shape. The foreign merchants who had poured into the Han Dynasty from the Western Regions had disappeared. The common people had prepared to trade with them and planted commercial crops. , There is no way to sell, a large number of people have worked hard for a whole year, but in the end, there is no harvest. Looking at the piled up tea and herbs, they are at a loss and desperate.

This less than a year's war, while bringing pain to the people of Guishuang, also brought suffering to the people of the Han Dynasty, and the harm he caused is still deepening with the passage of time. Going forward, no matter how successful the battle is, it will be a defeat for the big man, and it is likely to destroy the foundation of this prosperous age and cause civil unrest.

The officials in the court have never been so united. They all hope to avoid the war and let the Taiwei withdraw his troops and return to the court. From Situ to Yilang, they are all thinking this way. The Taiwei who used to speak for the army is not here. Inside, the emperor can only bear this pressure alone.

Just before going to the court, Situ Gong hadn't got up yet. Cai Yong stood up, looked at the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Oh, I don't know who is Cai Gong going to impeach again today?"

"I want to impeach Your Majesty!!"

Cai Yong raised his head and stared at the emperor.

The Son of Heaven was taken aback, looked at Cai Yong, and asked coldly: "Your Excellency, you want to impeach Your Majesty as a courtier?"

"Your Majesty! Emperor Xiaokang worked hard all his life, turned the tide, and rejuvenated the Han Dynasty. The northwest border, between Jianning and Jianning, was repeatedly played by the three princes of the court and asked to discard it. People come and go, the people are rich, but they don’t think that such a vast achievement will be destroyed by His Majesty’s reckless actions!!!”

"Your Majesty is very happy, but he is not as capable as the previous emperor! I think that His Majesty should kneel in front of Xiaokang's mausoleum to apologize!!"

Cai Yong said, the officials shrank their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads. Originally, they had prepared all kinds of rhetoric. Lu Zhi prepared a memorial to the people's sentiments in various places in the northwest, and some people brought complaints from the county magistrates and prefects. However, they never thought that, like Cai Yong, accusing the superior emperor, the big man has never had such an arrogant minister, and even Wang Fu has never pointed at the emperor and cursed like this!

This is a capital offense, no one can save him, the officials lowered their heads, thinking in their hearts.

"How courageous! Deceive the king!!" The emperor was furious, pointing at Cai Yong and yelling: "Give this guy to me!!"

"No need!!!" Cai Yong also roared, he said: "Chen Jian rather remnant minister, don't disgrace the treacherous hand of Xi Ping!!!"

"Your Majesty! The minister is here!!"

He roared, then rushed towards the beam pillar on the side, and smashed his head towards the beam pillar, the officials were shocked. At that moment, a figure quickly appeared beside Cai Yong, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Grabbing Cai Yong's shoulders, he pulled him over abruptly. Cai Yong was dragged by his hands like a child, and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Cai!!! You are fine!!!"

This person was Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei pressed Cai Yong to the ground, fearing that he would do something. Then he looked at the emperor and said almost beggingly, "Please forgive Cai Gong for his disrespect. Although he is disrespectful to His Majesty, he still cares about His Majesty, Duke Cai, who is old, and I am willing to be punished for him, so please forgive him." He was a little at a loss, and he did not have the same air as before.

"Ugh"

The emperor sighed.
