Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1026
Zhang Ruo looked over and saw that the speaker was about the same age as himself and had an upright face. He recognized it as Zheng Jian, the newly appointed minister of Zuo Min branch.

The position of the Minister of Branch has considerable power. With the further expansion of the Shangshutai, most of the functions of Jiuqing have been stripped away. The real power of the yamen has gradually shifted and mainly belongs to the Shangshutai.

Zheng Jian's words were very directional. As soon as many people heard what he said, they wondered whether this was what Shangshu Tai meant, especially when several clan princes and county princes discussed this matter at the court meeting. It's hard to guarantee that he didn't blow the news in advance to get everyone to fall in line.

Zhang Ruo was not afraid and said: "I am not afraid that Youzhou is strong, but I am worried that you think Youzhou is weak and misjudge the situation! There is no peace today, and any weakness will attract thieves. If there is a slight oversight, there will be rebellion and strife. The land of Jingxiang is empty of soldiers and horses, and Du thieves immediately rise up. In the land of Qingxu, when Duke Dongping is weak for a while, there are thieves of Cao. Why? It's all because the two places are already weak. , and the thieves knew that it could be broken, so they raised their troops, and then thought about the situation in the north, don't you all understand the key point?"

As he spoke, his tone gradually became heavier. Due to the isolation of Shi Le's power, the connection between Youzhou and the imperial court became more and more alienated. The gap here was not only in the transmission of government orders and personnel appointments, but also in the intelligence and understanding of Youzhou. superior.

"The stone thief is fierce. You all have personal experience. The imperial soldiers and horses faced this man with repeated defeats. If Zu Ti hadn't been there to restrain him, they might have been unable to control the thief's momentum. And the tyranny of the Xiongnu forced Guanzhong to almost If they fall, both of them are connected with Youzhou, so why abandon the near for the far? Instead of attacking Youzhou, why should we seek other places?"

Zhang Ruo's words silenced all the officials.

The reason here is not complicated, but sometimes political issues cannot be judged by pure logic.

What if he, Chen Zhi, still obeys Fong's orders?
After all, the majesty of the imperial court is still useful in the eyes of the officials. It may not be useful against the rebels, but it should be more than enough to force the loyal ministers in the imperial court to submit.

Just when the ruling King of Chu was about to speak, the emperor, who was sitting silently on the dragon throne, suddenly said: "What we are discussing today is the policy against Goguryeo, not Youzhou. Why should the ministers be concerned about this matter?" Entanglement? Since we can't come up with any results for the time being, in my opinion, let's break up now. If we need it later, it won't be too late to raise it."

The King of Chu frowned slightly, and all the officials around him looked at him. Seeing the prince nodding slightly, they respectfully resigned and left the court.

Snapped!
After the court meeting dispersed, the emperor returned to his palace and broke a bottle.

The slightly old Mo Anjie came over, arranged for a few people to clean up, and then comforted: "The emperor is angry again? This fire, it is better to contain it first, it is important to take care of the dragon body."

Looking at this great companion who had been with him since childhood, Emperor Liu Dai did not hide his anger and sorrow at all, and said angrily: "The three kings are in power and do not take me seriously at all. They are even worse than Liu Bao. They really think that I am still a naughty boy." !?"

Liu Guo is the name of the king of Changsha.

The King of Changsha conquered Luoyang and forced the scheming King of Jin to death. He took sole power and was domineering and arrogant. However, he was still respectful to the emperor. Because he was worried that others would follow suit, he also wanted to cut down the vassal. In the end, it was tragic, but at least in the On the surface, Liu Dai, the emperor, still has an account of the past. "I spoke out, and no one in the civil or military dynasties responded. Only the King of Chu nodded and accepted the order. Who does this world belong to?"

After a few angry words, the emperor's anger also subsided a little. After Mo'an Festival passed, he planned to arrange the next trivial matters. Unexpectedly, the emperor whispered beside him: "The King of Chu is really going to attack Chen Qing. "

Mo Anjie was stunned and frowned, but his expression remained unchanged and he asked calmly: "Your Majesty, even so, you should have a name."

"If they want to take action, why do they need names?" The emperor shook his head with a mocking look on his face, "The governors of Sizhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Yanzhou are already members of the three kings. Occupied by rebellion, but unable to move, of course they will have to attack Youzhou."

"Is the emperor worried that General Chen is being plotted?" Mo Anjie saw the worry on the emperor's face and comforted him, "Actually, there is no need for it. General Chen became famous all over the world four years ago. At that time, several princes and princes , still guarding one-third of an acre of land, how can it be compared? Even now, they can't even resist Shi Le and his ilk, how can they threaten General Chen who defeated Wang Jun? Moreover, General Chen has always been loyal and loyal. Your Majesty, we opened up sea and land two years ago and brought money, grain, grass, and war horses to the imperial court. Otherwise, I am afraid that some of the Chinese army will have to be disbanded. If such a move is plotted, who can bear the infamy?"

"Yes, I must grant Chen Qing the title of Governor back then, because I know that he is not only my confidant, but also has extraordinary abilities. Only by treating him with kindness and sincerity can he be effective and will be rewarded generously," the emperor immediately said Feeling that they have a common language, "What Daban said about money, food and horses is just one side. More importantly, Chen Qing is using this method to tell the civil and military officials of the dynasty that the person he respects is me, not the King of Changsha or the King of Chu! But!" Because of this, those people cannot tolerate him!"

"If they take action, it may not be a bad thing. Maybe they can be beaten." Mo An nodded and expressed his opinion, "Secret messages came from several times before, saying that General Chen is gathering strength and he is going to take action. When the time comes, we must go south first, so that we can attack the stone bandits from the north and south. With the strong army of Youzhou as our support, the emperor can take real power and reduce the power of several clans. This is a work in progress, so we should not rush it. If you want to move now, let them go first. They suffer a bit..."

As he spoke, the old eunuch seemed extremely confident in the Youzhou Army.

The emperor frowned and said: "Here's the problem. This time King Chu wants to replace the governor of Youzhou in the name of the imperial court. If he succeeds, wouldn't Chen Qing be forced to stand up, otherwise he will lose Youzhou? Where is the foundation? How can you help me?" As he spoke, he became angry again, "This is because I, the emperor, are useless, otherwise how could there be such a situation?"

However, Mo Anjie rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is not impossible. The old slave once heard that in ancient times, there was a saying that the state herdsman said that all the herdsmen and soldiers came out of his mansion, and now there is the position of the governor, who can control the situation." Soldiers of many states, from the humble opinion of an old slave, General Chen's ability to govern a state is somewhat inferior, so he simply added a few more states to let him control it. Anyway, it is not a barren land, but it is occupied by rebels. Could it be that there are still people in the court? Objection? Add him as a governor or governor, and then the title of a governor will be worthless."

The emperor had long since been Wu Xia Amen. When he heard what he said, he understood what he meant and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, after several years of hard work, I should have gained something. I had wanted to give Chen Qing a title before, but was rejected by the ministers. I only waited for an opportunity. That’s what you want!”
