Chapter 62: Teaching children well
  "Gongsun Chang Di said that the Hu people in the north have been making frequent movements in recent days, and they seem to have the intention of moving south in a large scale. What do you think?"

In the imperial study room of the Ouchi Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qi was convening his close ministers to discuss politics.

Emperor Qi, who is over fifty years old, is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair. However, he has always been pampered and accomplished in cultivation. From the appearance, he looks like he is only in his thirties, with a full head of black hair. He is in his prime, exuding mature charm. At first glance, he does not look like a decisive and murderous emperor, but more like a pure and inactive Taoist priest.

"Winter is about to come, and the Hu people must have moved because they are out of food. But with General Gongsun here, Youzhou should be fine. I'm just afraid that trouble will occur in Liangzhou and the Xiliang rebels will seize the opportunity." Prime Minister Zhuge Qing Lan said.

The Hu people are fierce, but Daqi has never taken the Hu people seriously.

After all, there is a group of famous generals and ministers from the Three Kingdoms here. Which one of them didn't kill the enemy at the border in fear?

Daqi's main defense is to defend against monsters.

It was just thirty-six years ago that the previous emperor ascended the throne and wanted to establish his power by killing the Huns and lead his own expedition, but he failed.

The Xiliang army under his command rebelled, and the local powerful Dong Cao colluded with the Huns to capture the late emperor alive. He led the Xiliang cavalry to sweep into the imperial city, allowing the Huns to march in. In addition, the evil disaster broke out at that time, and Dean Nanhua was not in the imperial city, causing the imperial city to be destroyed. Bloodbath.

In the end, the Yuan family found the then inconspicuous prince, now the Emperor of Qi, and supported him to ascend the throne. Then the ancestor of the Qi State came out in person to persuade Lu Feng, who had gathered Lu Bu's dharma minister, to surrender, and promised him the position of Duke Wen. Only then did he turn the corner.

However, neither Dong Cao nor Li Xu, the first counselor in Xiliang at that time, are still alive and have become two major hidden dangers in Da Qi.

"What's the big deal if there's a rebellion? If they dare to come out, let them know how powerful Fang Tian Hua Ji is." Wen Guogong Lu Feng smiled nonchalantly after hearing this.

Over the years, his cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Although he has strong combat power, he cannot enter the extraordinary world. He has a vague feeling in his heart. If he kills Dong Cao, the condenser of Dong Zhuo's Dharma, and has a "father's kindness and son's filial piety", he Only then can we break through.

All these years, I have been waiting for Dong Cao to show up.

Hearing Lu Feng's words, several civil servants present shook their heads. If it could be solved so easily, Dong Cao and others would not be alive until now.

It should be noted that Dong Cao still has an army in his hands, and the money and food to support an army can be imagined. If nothing else, there must be someone in the court who supports him.

"Your Majesty, General Huwei wants to see you."

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door.

In the room, the monarchs and ministers all frowned when they heard this. General Huwei was Zhao Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army, and they were discussing matters. Normally speaking, Zhao Yuan's temperament would not disturb them, but coming to disturb them meant that the matter was not trivial. .

"Xuan."

Emperor Qi frowned slightly, wondering what kind of bad news it was.

After the words fell, the eunuch announced, and the next eight-foot-tall, majestic middle-aged general wearing armor walked into the room.

"What's the matter with Qing Zhao's request to see you?" Emperor Qi asked.

"Your Majesty, Guanhe, the captain of the Dongcheng School, was on patrol today. He found that there were people fighting in the Jianye Gambling House. Many people were injured. After investigation, it was found that the leaders were King Wu and King Ming. Now King Wu has returned home, and King Ming is Since he asked to be imprisoned in prison, Guan and Xiaoxiao did not dare to make the decision and did not know what to do, so he asked your Majesty to show you." Zhao Yuan replied.

"A big fight between King Ming and King Wu?"

When he heard that his two sons were fighting in the gambling house, Emperor Qi was relieved at first. Fortunately, it was not uncontrollable bad news, but he was furious the next moment.

His prince, the crown prince, actually got into a fight in a gambling house.

Do you still have a bit of royal dignity?
  What kind of system?

Especially the King of Wu and the King of Ming are still children. He has already opened a palace and established teeth, and he is still acting like this.

However, with so many ministers still present, Emperor Qi felt that he had been disgraced.

When the other ministers heard this, their expressions remained calm, but there was also a hint of curiosity in their eyes. Apparently they had been dealing with government affairs for a day and were very interested in this unexpected fight.

After all, the style of the Qi court was similar to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. There were not so many constraints between the monarch and his ministers. When discussing political affairs, they mostly sat down and discussed.

"Yes, Guan He is here with His Majesty, waiting for His Majesty to issue the edict," Zhao Yuan said. "Hurry up and announce it," Emperor Qi said.

At this moment, someone came to announce that it was not easy for the ministers to discuss matters, but it was not easy to speak up in this embarrassing dispute between the princes. For a while, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Duke Wei was still brave and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, the matter may not be serious. It is normal for brothers to have stumbling blocks. After a fight, the relationship may be deepened. Like the sons of the minister, they are like each other every day. A fight, a fight, maybe it can improve the relationship between each other."

"You idiot, I think it's you because your son didn't participate." Emperor Qi looked at Zhang Yi angrily and said.

"The Holy One is joking. Even if my son is involved, I still say this." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"According to what Guan He said, Zhang Gan, the second son of Duke Wei, was involved in the fight. He was the most courageous in the fight. He rushed in front and was seriously injured." Zhao Yuan couldn't help but say after hearing this.

"What? Gan'er is involved in this? Shouldn't he be in the academy now?" Zhang Yi's voice suddenly rose up, as loud as thunder. Everyone in the imperial study felt like their ears were going deaf, and they looked at him with blame. .

But Zhang Yi didn't care at all. He looked at Zhao Yuan and said, "How is my son? Why did he get involved in the fight? He is not on good terms with King Ming and King Wu."

"Why are you so eager? Isn't it just a normal fight?" Seeing Zhang Yi jumping up, Emperor Qi calmed down and said with a bit of gloating.

In the imperial study room, everyone burst into laughter. They did not dare to laugh at Emperor Qi, but they still dared to laugh at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi had a dark face and ignored them. He just looked at Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan replied: "I don't know the details, but Guan He came to report. He didn't look sad, so it's no big deal."

Zhang Yi was relieved after hearing this.

"Like father, like son. You were like this when you were young, so don't blame Zhang for daring to imitate you." Emperor Qi joked, "You said that you follow the Prime Minister every day. Not only did you not learn any wisdom from the Prime Minister, He doesn’t even have the experience of this godson.”

"Your Majesty, I love you, but this minister is not as good as your Majesty thought." Zhuge Qinglan said with embarrassment. When he heard Zhang Gan fighting, he felt a little panicked, because recently Zhuge Ran was often with Zhang Gan, and they were gathering in crowds. There was a fight, and he wasn't sure if his son was inside.

"What? The prime minister's second son, the eldest son is very knowledgeable and can be regarded as a role model for the younger generation. Although the second son is not very talented, he has always been knowledgeable and sensible. If my sons are so obedient, I will be happy from ear to ear." Emperor Qi heard that something was wrong with Zhuge Qinglan's tone and said strangely.

"Your Majesty, among the people participating in the fight this time, there is also Zhuge Ran, the son of the prime minister." Zhao Yuan said.

"Huh?" Emperor Qi was surprised when he heard this, as if he had discovered some big news. He looked at Zhuge Qinglan and said with a smile, "It's interesting that the prime minister's sons gather together to fight."

"Your Majesty, this is not interesting. Over the years, the descendants of noble court officials have repeatedly fought and caused trouble in the imperial capital, disturbing the people. Because of their father-generation relationship, the government patrol camp did not dare to restrain them and disrupt the public order of the imperial capital. Now the two princes are even more so in public. The fight also involved the prime minister and the son of Duke Wei. I think this trend will not last long and this incident can serve as an example to restrain the dandies in the imperial capital."

After Emperor Qi finished speaking, a voice rang out, and he saw a civil servant with a square face.

"Tian Qing's words make sense. I think your Tian family has a strict family tradition, and the younger disciples never cause trouble." Hearing this, Emperor Qi slightly suppressed his smile and said, but he felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have called this stone to discuss matters. , please don’t bark next time.

"I dare not accept this false reputation. I am just strictly controlling it." Tian Hao, the censor of Zuodu, replied, feeling a little happy about his family tradition.

"Your Majesty, among those who participated in the fight was Tian Zhi, the son of Zuodu Yushi. Moreover, his fighting prowess was no less than that of Zhang Gan. He was not like a scholar, but more like a military general. He rushed to the front and was seriously injured. ." Zhao Yuan couldn't help but said.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Emperor Qi's expression suddenly became subtle. At this moment, he didn't even care about the fight between his two sons, but looked at Tian Hao with a curious look on his face.

You, an old boy, have this day too.

I asked you to give advice every day, but your house was on fire.

"How could my son be involved?" Tian Hao was also stunned, looking at Zhao Yuan in disbelief, and then said, "My son was seriously injured. How is he?"

Unlike Zhang Yi, he is just such a son.

"It shouldn't be a problem. We have to wait until Guan He comes to ask for details." Zhao Yuan said.

When Tian Hao heard this, he had no choice but to suppress his temper and reassure himself that nothing would happen.
