Chapter 638
Many officials in the East Palace were sitting in the Hall of Houde, and Liu Xi was sitting in the top position. His attitude towards these confidantes did not change because of his status change. He was still very close, but the officials had become They were a little more restrained, out of awe of the emperor, most of them did not dare to look directly at Liu Xi as usual, including Zhuge Liang. Of course, Zhuge Liang was more concerned about protecting the emperor's dignity, so he was like this.

Liu Xi looked at the people in front of him, and said solemnly: "You are all my most valued confidant ministers. In the next few days, all of you will sit on the position of Jiuqing and help me achieve an unprecedented great cause. I heard that those who have the way will help me more. With the support of the princes, I will not worry about the failure of major events and the failure of my achievements. The princes are the closest to me, and I have lost both parents. In Luoyang, the princes are my relatives , I also hope that you can treat me with kindness."

"We are united in one mind to create a great cause that will shake the past and the present!"

"Dare not to follow orders!!" Everyone stood up and bowed to the emperor. Liu Xi smiled and asked them to sit down and said, "There is no outsider here, so there is no need to be like this."

"Your Majesty sent us here, but for the sake of Jiuqing?" Sima Yi squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice, and everyone became serious. Liu Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard that, and said, "It's just a little bit." Mediocre people, why bother you gentlemen, it is nothing to worry about, the responsibility of the gentlemen should be with the country, the affairs of the state and the people, it is a major event!! This invitation to the gentlemen is for the great things in the future, and I also invite the generals to govern the country Write down the truth, and three days later, hand it over to the Hall of Houde."

"The sage is not here, and the sage is gone. In today's world, we need to find a way." Liu Xi stood up and said seriously: "In my world, no one can starve to death, there can be no clothes in winter, and the food in the treasury can't be saved." If they want to pile up into mountains, the enemies outside the Great Wall will retreat when they hear the sound of the hooves of the big man, and the officials must be as clear as jade, and the duties of the kings are in it, and I will thank you!!!”

Liu Xi bowed profusely to everyone, how dare they accept it, they all stood up and returned the salute.

"Xianfu." Liu Xi suddenly looked at Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang was taken aback, got up hurriedly, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything I can do?" The Son of Heaven looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said: "I have an important task to entrust to you, but I don't know if you can complete it?" Yuan Shang was a little excited, frowned, and solemnly made an oath, he said: "Your Majesty, I know that I am weaker than the kings of the Eastern Palace. However, I also know the way to be a minister, and the entrustment of your majesty, I dare to die!!"

"Hahaha, kindness!" Liu Xi nodded and said, "Then Xianfu will come to the Hall of Houde tomorrow morning, so you can think about the strategy of governing the country with peace of mind." After hearing the emperor's order, everyone left Go, after everyone left, Liu Xi just called out: "Qi Yue!!" Qi Yue was guarding outside the door. When he heard the emperor's call, he immediately walked into the hall, bowed to the emperor, and asked: "The country, I don't know what to order?"

"Prepare the car, I'm going to point directly to the mansion of the Embroidered Clothes Messenger Zhang Gong."

"Please!"

The emperor didn't set off with much fanfare, but just after he left, Zhang Yun had already learned that the emperor was coming to him. Speaking of which, whenever this time, Zhang Yun was always very afraid. The courtier trusted by the emperor holds a huge embroidered emissary, but only Zhang Xi understands that he is nothing more than a sword in the hand of the emperor.

And every time it was the sword used by the previous generation of emperors, it was stained with a lot of dirty blood.

When Emperor Xiaokang passed away, he was extremely afraid, for fear that Emperor Xiaoxian would break the sword, or wash it clean, and turn it into his own sword. Fortunately, Emperor Xiaoxian did not dispose of himself. During Emperor Xiaoxian's time, Zhang He has done a lot more than Emperor Xiaokang did, but now, he has once again ushered in such a moment, Emperor Xiaoxian is gone, Zhang He is still alive and well.

Why can't I leave with peace of mind?Sending off generation after generation of embroidered messengers who are in his hands are terrifying, but in fact he lives in constant fear and fear. At his current age, Zhang Yun is not worried about his own safety. As the elder of the three dynasties, if he Can be dealt with, who in the world would dare to serve the emperor?However, he was still worried, and naturally he was worried about his three sons.

He has three sons and two daughters on his knees. Zhang He also thought about marrying and forming an alliance like Cao Cao and Liu Bei to protect the clan. However, although Zhang He is expensive as the elder of the three dynasties, his reputation is too bad. He has offended too much for working for the emperor these years It seems that it is difficult for a person to get married, and he is helpless about it. Even so, he still cannot ignore the huge power in his hands. Embroidered clothes envoys are all over the world, from Xizhou outside the Great Wall to Ningzhou Wadao, From the grasslands of Hezhou to the forests of Jiaozhou, there are eyes and ears of embroidered messengers everywhere.

There is nothing that can avoid Zhang He, and Zhang He also has many ministers in his hands.

Knowing that the Son of Heaven was coming, Zhang Yun immediately drove the servants to the other courtyard, leaving only a few people, dressed in simpler clothes, and waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven. When Liu Xi arrived at his mansion, Zhang He did not go out to greet him. , Liu Xi was smiling, and did not show any emotional changes. On the contrary, Han Hao and Shi Huan, who followed him, were a little angry. How dare you, a subject, not come out to greet the emperor? ? ?

The slave immediately explained: "Your Majesty, my master has been seriously ill in the past few days. He has been mourning for Emperor Xiaoxian. He has been lying in bed for three days and cannot come to welcome His Highness. Please forgive me!!" Explaining, the Son of Heaven had a look of worry on his face, and he asked anxiously: "Mr. Zhang is sick?? How is his condition?" Seeing the Son of Heaven asking such a question, the slave immediately panicked, a little speechless.

When Liu Xi saw this, he didn't ask any further questions. He walked into the mansion and asked his servants to take him to see Duke Zhang. Zhang He was lying on the sickbed, looking extremely weak, but he was still extremely terrified. After that, he never dared to see Emperor Xiaoxian. He wanted to keep a low profile and reduce the emperor's fear of him. Of course, he did it back then. If it wasn't for the arrangement made by Emperor Xiaokang before his death, Xiaoxian might The emperor would not value him so much.

And this time, he can be regarded as repeating his old tricks, but he is ready. If the emperor wants to ask himself why he didn't see you later, he will use his illness as an excuse. In short, when he can hide himself, he must hide it well He was thinking about his own, when he saw the emperor hurried in, Liu Xi walked into the inner room, saw Zhang Yun lying on the sickbed, and immediately, Liu Xi burst into tears.

"Mr. Zhang!!! Mr. Zhang!!!" Liu Xi shouted and rushed to Zhang He's side.

Zhang Yun was taken aback, but he couldn't show his flaws. He frowned tightly, opened his eyes reluctantly, and looked old. Liu Xi was crying and said, "Mr. Zhang, I don't know about your condition. Come to meet and greet me soon, Mr. Zhang, don’t blame me!!” Seeing the emperor’s true feelings, so sad, Zhang Yun felt a little guilty, he coughed, and said: “The old minister is old, and His Majesty is worried, so I can’t go out to meet you , I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay, alas, I've really troubled Mr Zhang all these years, and it's really the fault of the Heavenly Family that made Mr Zhang look like this!!" Liu Xi hurriedly asked about his situation again, Zhang He answered slowly, and the two talked for a long time before Liu Xifang cried and said, "Seeing Zhang Gong like this, it hurts my heart, Zhang Gong, I will never embarrass you again, since Zhang Gong It’s already like this, so let’s have a good rest, and I will definitely reward you for your old age.”

"Your Majesty just feels a little sick occasionally, and he will be fine in a few days."

"Mr. Zhang must not speak like this. Mr. Zhang is a veteran of four generations. Over the years, he has made countless contributions. Hundreds of officials in the court also respect Mr. Zhang. How dare I continue to bother Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang looks like this " Liu Xi wiped his tears, and Zhang Yun's heart trembled. He was a little confused, whether the emperor was telling the truth, or telling irony, these words, no matter what, revealed a sense of threat.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang's three sons are very close to me. I still want to use them again. Before Mr. Zhang held important positions, I was worried that if they were used again, the officials would misunderstand and frame them, so I dare not Appointment, now that Mr. Zhang is returning home to rest, and Mr. Zhang’s three sons, I can also appoint him, and the ministers of the court can’t say anything more.”

Zhang He trembled all over. He looked at the young emperor in front of him, and his lips trembled. Finally, he could only close his eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying this, the Son of Heaven did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he chatted with Zhang Yun, talking about the affairs of the court and the officials, Zhang He did not hide anything, and said directly: "A few days ago, Jun Xun once Come here and take some memorabilia from the minister." As Zhang He said, Liu Xi nodded, and Zhang He said again: "It turned out to be His Majesty's arrangement, and I still have some doubts. In the past few days, Mr. Xun has been looking for I have issued the Minister's order, Situ, Sikong and other important officials."

"I know that Mr. Zhang doesn't have to think about these things any more. Let's rest in peace of mind. Mr. Zhang, you have held such an important position since my grandfather. You have suffered a lot in these years. I don't think there are two of you." The talents of the Holy Master are also willing to learn their good morals." Liu Xi said, and there were some changes in his body. He took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it beside Zhang He.

"If someone dares to trouble Mr. Zhang in the future, Mr. Zhang will directly send someone to bring this jade pendant into the palace to find me. I will definitely stand up for Mr. Zhang. I have seen Mr. Zhang's achievements over the years, and no one can obliterate him." I also admire Mr. Zhang for his great achievements. In the future, I will often visit Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang must take good care of himself. I still need Mr. Zhang to help me with advice. Don’t rush into the Hall of Loyalty.”

"Chenchen can also enter the Zhonglie Hall??" Zhang He asked with his eyes wide open, a little surprised.

"No."

"Ok?"

"Mr. Zhang can't rush in. Most of the important officials in the temple have not enjoyed the blessings. They died in the Tao and spent their lives serving the country and the people, but they have not been able to live a good life. Mr. Zhang has received a lot of grievances over the years, and he is also very sad. It's exhaustion, I just want that Mr. Zhang can enjoy his old age, can see his juniors make great achievements, and see how good the world can become after he has worked hard all his life." Liu Xi said seriously.

Zhang He stared blankly at the Son of Heaven, and suddenly, he began to sob in a low voice. At this moment, the panic, fear, and tension that had lasted for decades seemed to have all dissipated. When Liu Xi wiped away his tears , Zhang Xi raised his head, showing a gentle smile, without the gloomyness before, and without the cruelty he pretended to be. At this moment, he completely became an amiable old man, his eyes were full of gentleness.

"Old minister, thank you Your Majesty!"

ps: During this period of time, the old wolf started to lose his hair. I feel that I will be a bald wolf in the future. During this period of time, there are few updates and a lot of readers, so I sacrificed a book, "I Really Don't Want to Be a System", or This seedling, I hope I can survive this wave of poisonous milk. (I feel that the book that the old wolf sacrificed is either a eunuch or a bad ending. Should I find some colleagues with better grades than the old wolf to sacrifice??)
