Looking at Liu Qumao's back as he left, the smile on the emperor's face gradually subsided.

"Hmph!" He used a little force and grabbed the silk book in his hand.

He can rule this country, even today, still firmly control the military and political power, and no one can shake it.

Depend on, of course it’s not just luck and employment.

In fact, he relies on suspicion!

The disastrous defeat of Jianyuan's new policy made him feel serious distrust and alienated to anyone in his heart.

From then on, even if he is as close as a brother, he can be hard-working!

Liu Ji, King Kang of Jiaodong, was his brother who had been playing with since childhood, and was also the sister of his biological mother, Empress Dowager Wang. In terms of blood relationships and feelings, no one among the brothers could match.

However……

When Huainan was treason, Liu Ji heard the news and prepared for war in China. He lived in the military camp day and night, hoping that he could help him, the emperor's elder brother, if there was something wrong.

but……

The final result was that King Liu An of Huainan was defeated. The court officials investigated the relevant matters and found Liu Ji's actions.

Originally, this was a commendable brotherly relationship.

However, what Liu Ji got was scolding and harsh reprimand like a storm!

Finally, with the intervention of the Queen Mother, "get out of it", which means pardoning the guilt and responsibilities, which is equivalent to "remembering the demerit".

Liu Ji was so sad that he became sick and died young.

It was not until Liu Ji passed away that he finally remembered his brotherly relationship and his childhood companionship and playful time.

So he issued an edict to give him a beautiful posthumous posthumous title, a grand funeral, and a chariot with four horses. The emperor used the support and the underworld, and even gave him a descendant. Not only did he make his crown prince Liu Xian the King of Jiaodong, but he also made his favorite son Liu Qing the King of Lu'an not long ago, he moved Liu Qing from Lu'an to Jiaoxi and made him the King of Jiaoxi.

However, the fact is that no matter how good you do, it cannot be concealed. In fact, Liu Ji, the emperor's elder brother whom Liu Ji respects the most, admires the most, and admires the most, and is forced to death with one hand!

In addition to Liu Ji, the emperor's brothers such as King Xian of Hejian, Liu De of King Hui of Guangchuan, Liu Yue of Liu Yue also died because of his reasons.

Even if you don’t believe your brothers, you can do ruthlessly.

Minister, relative, who can truly convince him?

Not to mention the other people, how did the alchemists and charlatans he trusted the most, such as Luan Da, die? How did their scam be discovered?

The spy's rule is not a product of later generations.

In fact, it had already appeared during the Warring States Period and when Shen Buhe reformed.

There is a tributary of the Legalists, which is to specialize in researching and discussing how to help the king and monitor the ministers and the world.

So, how can we escape his Dharma eye in Hexi?

It’s just that there is no conclusive evidence, and he didn’t order to investigate carefully.

"The water is clear and there are no fish..." Looking up at the rippling lake, the emperor whispered: "There are rivers under the mud and sand ripples..."

But there was a sudden appearance of fierceness in his eyes, and his face suddenly became a little ferocious.

Like men, the king is the most stingy and calculating.

………………………………

Half an hour later, when the Great Emperor Dai Ren, the King of Jinwu Wang Mang, the Taifu Shangguan Jie and the Shangshu Ling Zhang Anshi came to him, the emperor had returned to normal.

He lay on the bamboo couch in Qingliang Hall, half-closed his eyes, looked at the ministers kneeling in front of him. After looking at them for a long time, he stood up, looked at the ministers, and said, "Today, I will order all the ministers to come here for the sake of Hehuang..."

"According to General Ershi, Yuezhi Yicong in Hehuang seems to be colluding with the Qiang people in the West Sea. They even collaborated with the Xiongnu King of Rizhu, and planned to take action against the four counties of Hexi, the Han family..."

"What do you think?"

When the Great Honglu Dai Ren heard this, he bowed respectfully, then held the tablet and stood up, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am the Great Honglu, and I am the chief commander of the State. The righteousness of the Yuezhi of Hehuang is also under the jurisdiction of the minister. Therefore, I know a little about this. According to what I have heard, the righteousness of the Yuezhi of Hehuang is followed. Although there was some disrespect in the past, I asked that since last year, the Minister of the Secretariat Zhang Zizhong and the Chief of the Qiang Guzhou Fan Mingyou wrote a letter to Your Majesty and was allowed to restore the country of Jigugu, the tribes of Hehuang are grateful to Your Majesty for the kindness of heaven, and have not heard of unstable things..."

"Can General Ershi be..." Dai Ren carefully chose to speak: "What's the situation exaggerating?"

On the surface, Dai Ren is questioning Li Guangli, but this is actually passing the blame.

Take him and the Great Honglu from this matter.

As he said, the righteousness of the Hehuang Yuezhi is, although it is a vassal state under his jurisdiction, I have already reported these actions to Your Majesty for a long time.

Last year, the minister Zhang Zizhong and the Qiang-guard Fan Mingyou jointly submitted a letter to Your Majesty, restoring the vassal of the kingdom of Tsui. Yuezhiyi's followers all expressed their gratitude to the emperor and could not repay him.

Now, something like this actually happened?

Could it be made by General Ershi or someone else?

In short, I and my Dahonglu are absolutely innocent and have no responsibility in this matter!

When the emperor listened, he naturally understood Dai Ren's subtext. He chuckled and waved, "I don't want to discuss this with you now..."

"What I want to ask now is whether the Western Qiang, the Hehuang Yuezhi and the Xiongnu will join forces to disrupt Hexi, the Great Honglu, the Taipu, the Jinwu, and the Shangshutai. Have you made any relevant preparations?"

"Can the vassal captain of the Great Hongluo still fight?" The emperor stared at Dai Ren.

Dai Ren immediately knelt down and patted his chest to promise: "Please rest assured that the vassal captain of the country is 30,000. He will be willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty and die without hesitation!"

"Is Taipu's war horses enough? Are the grass reserves sufficient? Are the military expenses fully prepared?" The emperor asked Shangguan Jie again.

Shangguan Jie immediately stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty has something to do. Even if the Tai servant turns into a cow and a horse, a dog, and his bad body fills the gully first, he will not dare to refuse at all!"

Of course, Shangguan Jie was very clear about such military and national affairs.

Regardless of whether the Taifu can meet or not, the emperor’s request must be fulfilled 100%!

Otherwise, what is the meaning of him being this servant?

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of his face and image he has shown in front of the emperor for so many days?

"Good!" The emperor looked at Shangguan Jie and Dai Ren's expressions and nodded with satisfaction.

Shangguan Jie took this opportunity and suddenly knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have doubts, don't know if I should say it?"

"Huh?" the emperor was surprised and asked, "You are just saying it's okay..."

"Although I don't know, the actions between the Western Qiang, Yuezhi, and the Xiongnu are not even more aware of the situation in Lingju..." Shangguan Jie crawled on the ground, paused his head and said, "But I heard that the Minister of the Shizhong Jianwen Jun had led his army through Taiyuan three days ago, and it took only a moment to return to the capital..."

"I also heard from the Great Honglu that last year, the Minister of State Jianwen and the Qiang-guard Fan Mingyou jointly wrote a letter to Your Majesty, talking about the matters in Hehuang, and obtained approval from Your Majesty..."

"Therefore, I am bold and report to the memorial: The so-called specialty of arts and professions, the Minister of the Secretariat, Jianwen, was in charge of his virtuous ministers, and led his troops to comfort the tribes in the south of the desert. He was given all his troops to be loyal to the death. So he led the king's army to attack the Xiongnu, destroy the Dragon City, and obtain his livestock. He countless people, greatly increasing the power of China, and can be called a famous general in the world..."

"And the Minister of State Jianwen Jun has some insights on Hehuang affairs. Why didn't Your Majesty wait for the Minister of State Jianwen Jun to return to the court, or send an envoy to quickly ask Jianwen Jun for his opinion?"

"The art of war says: Those who have won the temple before they fight will have to count too many things; those who have not won the temple before they fight will have to count too few things. More than just making the temple without fighting will have to count too few things!"

"I am secretly ignorant of my words, I hope Your Majesty will carefully examine it..."

The emperor listened and rubbed his hands slightly, feeling that Shangguan Jie's words made a lot of sense.

Now, his decisions and decisions are almost caused by the promotion of Liu Qumao and Li Guangli talking to each other.

In the past, he had no second person to consult, so he could only let them go.

But now it's different...

Zhang Zi beat him harder than Li Guangli!

He only brought four thousand cavalry and a bunch of mobs to annihilate them, defeated the Hun cavalry that invaded the south, and captured them, forcing the ten thousand cavalry led by the younger brother of the Xiongnu Shanyu, which was beyond the expectation range.

Later, he took the opportunity to fight the north, and he broke through most of the Huns' Mobei, destroyed the main force of the Right King, seized Longcheng, and sealed the wolf and returned.

It's a miracle!

Now, he has led his army back. It seems that it is still time to listen to his opinions!

Of course, the most important thing is to test this young man.

Although the emperor knew in his heart that the people he had placed around Zhang Zizhong had always reported that the attendant was loyal and everywhere he went, he said: This is due to the great blessing of the emperor and the protection of the country, I just follow the trend...

Almost most of his contributions and achievements are said to be based on the power of the country and the king, and he placed himself in the identity of supporting roles, executors and messengers.

but……

There are too many acting schools in this world.

The emperor himself, who was really loyal to the country, honest and loyal, and as public opinion praised by Zhou Gong, the second loyal minister, and the only great scholar after Confucius, was he who was the same as Liu Qumao and Li Guangli, who was a scheming guest? Or was he still a bit inaccurate.

This thing can be tested.

As a test, a test.

If it can pass, then...

only……

If so, it would seem too much.

Once it is spread, it falls into the ears of Liu Qumao and Li Guangli, and the conflict may be intensified.

After ruling this huge empire for forty-seven years, the emperor had already understood the human heart.

The human heart is the most fickle.

People's hearts are most likely to be jealous.
