In the Qingliang Hall, the emperor had already woken up, and had even finished a circle of Tai Chi in the palace garden, sitting quietly in the attic, drinking the freshly cooked corn porridge.

"Your Majesty..." The envoy asked Guo Rang to walk to him carefully and report: "General Ying Yang has arrived..."

"Please go to the side hall for a while!" The emperor whispered: "I'll go there right away!"

"No!" Guo Rang immediately bowed. He thought for a while, and said with courage: "Your Majesty, I heard that General Ying Yang met the Prime Minister when he was in court. He talked about the matter in Hexi for a while..."

"Hmm?" The emperor raised his head, looked at Guo Rang, and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

Guo Rang was immediately frightened and immediately knelt down and bowed: "I am talking nonsense, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

"Get up..." The emperor shook his head and said, "You slave, don't gossip in front of me again in the future!"

"Whether the Prime Minister or General Ying Yang, it is not something you and other servants can discuss!"

As a king, the emperor has always been clear about it.

His heart is even more sensitive.

It is normal for others to report small reports and stuff black materials between middle and lower classes or even nine ministers.

However, the three dukes and the generals were extremely sensitive.

Zhang Tang's incident made him understand that no matter what happened to the three officials, he should not listen to and believe it.

Otherwise, there will be no peace in the court!

Besides, he is not blind or deaf.

How could he not know what happened in Weiyang Palace?

If this is the case, then he, the king, would be too incompetent.

Guo Rang was so scared that he was sweating profusely and did not dare to raise his head, so he had to kowtow and said, "I understand!"

"Go down!" the emperor waved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Rang breathed a sigh of relief and retreated as if he had been granted a general amnesty.

The emperor looked at Guo Rang's back, shook his head, and sighed: "Even the slaves have two hearts, let alone the ministers?"

The eunuchs and nobles in this palace have never given him any worries.

Among them, there were entanglements of forces, entanglements of interests, and complexities. If it weren't for the strengthening of the supervision of the palace in the past six months, he would have authorized Wang Mang to expand the number of Tiqi.

I'm afraid it's easy to be led by others and fall into suspicion.

Even so, inside and outside the court and above the palace were still surrounded by clouds and mist. Just like Guo Rang, the emperor could not judge whether this eunuch was the Prime Minister Liu Quqi or Zhang Zizhong's?

Or, neither is it, but a chess piece of a third party?

But, it doesn't matter!

He stood up and ordered, "Prepare my dressing!"

A king does not need to know everything, he only needs to master everything, especially master the rhythm.

Let the rhythm be manipulated in one's hands, rather than being led by others by the nose, so that you can always play with power and courtiers in the clapping, and let them dance to their own baton.

Just like this time, the emperor knew that he did not need to know right or wrong.

Just know that you can support Zhang Zizhong.

Because, he only needs to act to stimulate Li Guangli, so that Li Guangli on the front line can exert his 120% ability.

At that time, I will bring Li Guangli up.

In this way, the court and the military will form two teams competing with each other.

Both groups must rely on him as the emperor, and must do everything possible to contribute to his great achievements, shine and heat, and be a cow and horse.

That's enough!

Of course, if Li Guangli was stimulated by this, he would not be able to give a satisfactory report card.

Then, its loss of power and fall are naturally reasonable.

However, at that time, it may be necessary to readjust the plan and create a faction in the court that can restrain General Ying Yang.

For this king who has been on the throne for forty-seven years, these methods are simply like the children's elementary school lessons, and they can be proficient in using their eyes closed.

Zhang Yue led all the generals to the Lantai in front of Xuanshi Hall.

Zhang Anshi has been waiting here for a long time.

"Please pay homage to the general!" Zhang Anshi saw Zhang Yue from afar, and immediately brought his subordinates to greet him and bowed: "Good General!"

"Brother is so serious!" Of course, Zhang Yue did not dare to accept his gift, so he immediately avoided aside and bowed his head and said, "How dare I make my brother so respectful?"

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he felt a little relieved.

Although I sent my retainers to visit this little brother last time, I also received a good response.

However, this is aware of people but not the heart.

Who knows if he is the truth or fooling people?

Zhang Anshi dare not take it seriously!

Even now, he still has suspicion and uncertainty in his heart.

After all, this former little brother is now General Yang Yinghou, with the position of being the third Duke of the Cavalry, the highest general of the empire, and the youngest general, and at the same time he also carries countless halos.

To be honest, the little brother now has grown into an existence that needs to be looked up to by Zhang Anshi.

There is no way, the Han Empire has the greatest military achievements!

Having military achievements can make you cool, crazy and arrogant!

In comparison, he, the Shangshu Ling, seemed noble, but in fact he was just a messenger.

It may be OK to scare others, but in front of a genuine general, he is just a small person!

Just look at the arrogant soldiers and generals behind him, Zhang Anshi was already a little bit of a bang.

The other person's generals can probably be on par with him!

Zhang Yue could guess some of it when he looked at Zhang Anshi's expression.

So he stepped forward and smiled, saying, "Don't you invite me in and sit down?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anshi hurriedly smiled and said, "Please, brother!"

Since the other party took the initiative to re-continue his old friendship and still regard himself as a "brother", Zhang Anshi is of course happy.

He invited Zhang Yue and his party to the side hall of the Shangshu Office in Lantai and ordered people to bring tea and snacks.

Zhang Yue and Zhang Anshi started to greet each other.

Re-record many past events in the past, especially the relationship that Zhang Anshi gave up his attic to Zhang Yue.

As a result, the atmosphere became warm and Zhang Anshi was no longer reserved. He talked and laughed with Zhang Yue, and even took the initiative to talk about some past events.

Unfortunately, both Zhang Yue and Zhang Anshi understand it in their hearts.

No matter how warm the atmosphere is now, it cannot change the fact that the relationship between the two can never go back to the past!

As General Ying Yang, Zhang Yue is the hope and expectation of tens of thousands of people under his command and his family. In addition, there are the hopes of the entire Gongyang School and the hopes of more than 100,000 people in Xinfeng, Lintong, Wannian and other counties.

In the future, it will carry more people's hopes and expectations.

Hundreds of thousands of people are pressing on their shoulders, and their wealth and future are as heavy as a tremendous amount.

With just this weight, Zhang Yue could not do things according to his own nature.

Zhang Anshi is the same.

He could not have done it, and he could not have changed from his former elder brother to his leg hair.

He has his own ambitions and ideals, his own goals and responsibilities.

but……

This does not prevent the two from working together now and in the future.

After the greetings, Zhang Anshi took the initiative to say, "Brother Yu said that after my brother returned from triumphantly, he paid tens of thousands of gold in just the gold! It's so gratifying!"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said, "It depends on His Majesty's great blessings, and the blessings of our ancestors!"

Zhang Anshi smiled and then asked, "My dear brother is here today, probably to report the list of meritorious soldiers, right?"

"That's right!" Zhang Yue nodded with a shallow smile: "I have to worry about my brother!"

"I dare not..." Zhang Anshi asked: "How many vassals do you want to report to me this time? How many 2,000 stones?"

Although the Han military lord system has collapsed for a hundred years, the lower classes are no longer valuable.

However, the top-level high titles, especially those that cannot be purchased with Wuzhu coins or purchased by large amounts of private titles, still have status and privileges comparable to those of the past.

Even if there are more than five doctors, it is called "official title" by the people.

In other words, only those who have titles of more than five doctors are worthy of being called Han officials.
