Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 527
Facing Liu Mastiff's eyes, the emperor quickly came to his senses. He looked around, thinking in his heart whether it was possible to reject this proposal, even if this proposal would have a good effect on local security. Fan, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only Guo Jia and Xing Ziang did not speak. Both of them are ministers who support the New Deal. It is very normal to disagree with the prince who opposes the New Deal.

However, Liu Bei on the side nodded his head approvingly, and laughed and talked with the courtiers around him. You must know that he is also a minister who supports the New Deal. The discussion was very intense, and the emperor's long silence made the ministers seem to realize something, and the temple fell silent for an instant.

Yuan Shao secretly thought that it was not good, and looked at Situ Lu Zhi who was facing him. Lu Zhi was also a little worried, but he was not worried about himself, he was just worried about whether this virtuous prince would be killed by the emperor because of the support of all the officials. Unexpectedly, in this silence, the emperor suddenly laughed. He stood up from his seat, walked to the side of the prince, and helped him up.

"The prince can have such a heart of loving the people, I am very happy!"

"As expected of my prince!"

As the emperor opened his mouth, all the officials were relieved. The emperor looked at them and said: "You must work together to handle this matter together! This is the first government proposed by the prince, and it must be done well!!"

"I promise!"

All the officials continued to talk, but the emperor was still smiling, looking at Liu Mastiff in front of him, he didn't say much.

At the last moment, the emperor calmed down. If he wanted to oppose this strategy, he only needed to speak up, and the officials would not dare to say anything more. However, this would hurt the hearts of those old soldiers, and they would It hurt the hearts of the Han army. After all, one day they would retire and return to their hometown. The emperor smiled, no matter whether he allowed it or opposed it, Liu Mastiff had no loss and could gain the morale of the army.

Wonderful, wonderful!

At the end of the court meeting, the emperor returned to the Hall of Houde, sitting in front of the case, a little dazed, he closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and then gave the order to bring Zhang Yun, the general of Hanmen, Zhang He came very quickly, the emperor has always been looking for him. It's nothing good, after rushing here, I met the emperor, stood behind the emperor, bowed his head, and said nothing.

"Mr. Zhang, in recent years, who has the prince made friends with in the two colleges?"

The emperor asked, Zhang He raised his head, looked at the emperor with some doubts, and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is in the two universities. His prestige is very high, and the students are very impressed by him. However, I have never heard that the prince has any relationship with them." The ones I made friends with have never been in contact with each other, and the only ones His Highness has been in contact with are Zhuge, Sima, and Yuan."

"Well, send more people to the Yuan Mansion. I will know what the crown prince has done, said, and wants to do!"

"Please!"

Zhang He took the order.

After walking out of the palace, Zhang Xi sighed helplessly, and stood at the gate of the palace. The surrounding yellow gates were afraid and did not dare to approach, let alone the rest of them. He hid his trembling hands in his sleeves and stood there for a long time. Only then did he return to his mansion, and just after returning to the mansion, he asked the accompanying embroidered clothes messenger to guard the door, not allowed to come in, while he went to the study.

When he arrived at the door of the study, Zhang Yun pushed open the door and walked in. This was not his study, but his eldest son, Zhang Xiong's study. Zhang He sat in the study, startled Zhang Xiong who was studying, and saw that it was his father, Zhang Xiong. Getting up and meeting him, Zhang Yun waved his hand and let him sit in front of him.

Zhang Xiong sat in front of Zhang He with some doubts, looked at Zhang He, was a little puzzled, Zhang He looked at him, and said: "I know you are close to the prince. But in the future, you should stay away a little bit, you don't have to flatter anyone , my title will be yours sooner or later."

Zhang Xiong is different from his father, he is not tall, and he is good at writing. Hearing what his father said at this moment, his face turned red with anger, stood up, and said: "Father thought that I was such a flattering person." Is it? I associate with the prince only because of his benevolence, he treats me with courtesy and values ​​me."

"Bullshit! If you weren't my eldest son, how could he treat you like this?!"

"Yes! How do you know that His Highness never treats differently because of his status. Even those disciples from poor families and relatives of eunuchs, he can treat each other with courtesy and sincerity, just because I am the eldest son of my father, and because I Father is pointing at the embroidered clothes envoy, no one has ever associated with me, and no one has ever looked up to me, only Your Highness, regards me as a friend, and now, everyone in Taixue regards me as a friend!" Zhang Xiong said angrily.

"Your title, you can give it to Erlang, I don't care about it!"

"You!!!" Zhang Yun raised his hand angrily, but it took a long time to land on his face. He panted, thought for a long time, and sighed, "Okay, who do you associate with? I don't care about you." , but, in the future, don't peek at my letter copy, otherwise, I won't talk about the relationship between father and son."

"Also, tell Your Majesty that I am very grateful for his birthday gift, and I will not tell His Majesty, but if he has evil intentions, I will not let Your Majesty down! Also, let him pay more attention to his surroundings." Zhang He After finishing speaking, he left the study angrily, leaving Zhang Xiong alone, and said to himself angrily, "Your Highness is that kind of thief."

The next day, in Taiyuan College, Jijiu was giving a lecture. The prince sat in the middle of the crowd, listening to Jijiu's lecture seriously, and took out a pen and ink to record it. Jijiu was very happy. The prince chatted for a long time before he left. Just as he left, a group of students surrounded Liu Mastiff and started chatting.

"Your Highness... I heard about what happened in the temple yesterday. No one has ever paid attention to these old soldiers. It is their blessing that they can meet such a benevolent and righteous prince as His Highness. When my father comes back, maybe he How happy you are." A young student was talking about it. Liu Mastiff looked at him, smiled, and said, "Zhongmou, when your father comes back, you must recommend me one or two. I have never forgotten this matter. !"

"Hahaha, of course, and my elder brother, my elder brother, is extremely brave"

Liu Mastiff listened and nodded, taking it for granted.

"Ziheng. Where's your father? Don't you have any letters?"

"Not yet."

Several people were chatting, Zhang Xiong came up, looked at Liu Mastiff, handed him a book, and said: "His Royal Highness, thank you for lending me this book to read, I read it overnight, and I feel a lot , I couldn’t help it, I wrote some notes, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Liu Mastiff took the book and said with a smile: "Hey, you can keep the calligraphy, I should thank you, there is no need to be like this"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, I heard that the new Chief Executive General Lv has entered the city. I wonder if you have seen him before?" Liu Mastiff asked.

One person nodded and said, "I saw it. He came yesterday, and called me to his mansion, and handed me a letter, which belongs to my grandfather." This person was called Dianman, His father is the school captain Dianwei who is currently stationed in Ningzhou. Liu Mastiff nodded and talked with Dianman for a long time. After several hours, he returned to the mansion.

Just after returning to the mansion, I saw Zhuge Liang. He was sitting in the front yard, with Sima Yi beside him. Zhuge Liang frowned, as if he had something on his mind. Liu Mastiff in front of him looked at it for a long time before asking: "Your Highness, has your Highness ever told the emperor about the old pawn?"

"Ah? Of course I told you!" Liu Mastiff said in surprise.

Zhuge Liang frowned, and asked: "Your Highness, don't deceive me, I have already learned that Your Highness didn't tell the emperor, but?"

"Uncle! How could I bully you? I really told Father!"

"Your Highness, if you regard me as close, tell me the truth. As long as Your Highness tells the truth, I will never have any other thoughts. I just hope His Highness will tell you the truth!"

"Uncle, what did I do to make you distrust me so much?" Liu Mastiff stood up, with tears in his eyes, and said, "If uncle doesn't believe me, I will take uncle to Houde Hall!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Mastiff for a long time, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, Your Highness, I believe it."

Sima Yi on the side lowered his head. Hearing Zhuge Liang's appearance, he shook his head and said, "Kong Ming, are you confused by the emperor's appearance in the temple? You don't understand that the emperor did it on purpose. Your Highness is benevolent and close to you." Too many, the Son of Heaven may be a little coughing, he did it on purpose, he wanted to damage the reputation of the prince." Sima Yi said, Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and accepted the reason.

Sima Yi raised his head and looked at Liu Mastiff with a smile on his lips.

Liu Mastiff was naturally aware of it. He looked at Sima Yi and said angrily, "Your Majesty, don't say such words. Father is my dearest relative. He can never do anything bad to me!"

"Your Highness, forgive me, I made a mistake."

The three of them were chatting, but a few old soldiers came up and bowed to Liu Mastiff. Liu Mastiff was shocked and quickly helped them up. They were all a little excited, so they could only thank them continuously. They learned from their mouths that they had found jobs in Luoyang, and even, after the mistress Sima heard about them, she bought them a house, arranged marriages for them, and helped them start a family.

Liu Mastiff couldn't help but praised: "The mistress is virtuous, and she is very suitable for Master!"

While the three were talking, Yuan Shang also came, and the four chatted together.

"Your Highness, Duke Yuan is getting married, and His Highness can't stay in Yuan's mansion forever. If the emperor agrees, he will build another courtyard." Sima Yi said, Zhuge Liang and Liu Mastiff also nodded. Now, he really can't continue to live. It's here, but if the mansion is rebuilt, I'm afraid the emperor won't allow it. In that case, he can only stay in the East Palace, and it will be difficult for these friends to meet.

Liu Mastiff frowned, this is a bit difficult.

"Hey! What's the problem, Your Highness, just leave this matter to me!" Yuan Shang said, patting his chest.

"Oh? What clever plan does Xianfu have?"

"Buy the houses around my uncle, build a mansion, and open up the courtyard wall between my uncle's mansion and say it's another courtyard in Yuan's mansion, wouldn't it be fine?"

Yuan Shang said happily, but Zhuge Liang said with some embarrassment: "There are residential houses around here, people will sell the house to you like this, we can't oppress others with power."

Yuan Shang was taken aback, and said: "It would be good to give more money! I won't bully the people, give more money, and they will definitely allow it!"

"But, this money."

"Money is indeed difficult, and I don't have much savings. Hey, I can only make up more than 20 yuan if I rummaged through boxes and chests." Yuan Shang said, and suddenly found that the atmosphere became a little silent. Liu Mastiff, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi The three of them looked at him quietly without saying a word, just staring at him like that, but they saw that Yuan Shang felt a little nervous.

"What's the matter? Too little? If it's not enough, I can only sell the fields. I still have some in Runan."

"Well, no more. Enough. We're not building a palace."

Sima Yi said quietly.
