"Your Majesty..." An eunuch tiptoed to the side of the emperor who was closed and resting in peace, and whispered: "The Grandson has just gone to Shiqu Pavilion to meet with Sima Qian, the Grand Historian..."

"Oh..." The emperor opened his eyes and asked, "What did Sima Qian and the grandson say?"

"This, I don't know..." the eunuch said, "Because His Royal Highness the Grand Prince retreated from his left and right during the meeting..."

He asked carefully: "Your Majesty, do you want me..."

The emperor glared at him and shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this matter!"

"No!" The eunuch immediately paused.

"Is there any news from the prince?" the emperor asked again.

"Report to Your Majesty..." The eunuch said: "The prince is said to have been depressed recently and often lamenting himself..."

When the emperor heard this, his face immediately became a little unpleasant, and he said for a long time: "It's true that the prince still can't change his nature!"

It was just killing him a teacher!

That's it?

Want to have a soft confrontation?!

He won't be spoiled!

"Send someone to Luoyang and recall the prince!" The emperor gave an order without hesitation: "Just say that the court is going to ask about the river management in winter this year!"

"promise!"

"Go..." The emperor waved his hand.

"promise!"

When the eunuch left, the emperor stood up slowly, walked to the door of the bedroom, and asked, "Who is on duty today?"

"Report to Your Majesty, today's minister of the guard is Zhao Chongguo, the son-in-law!" someone replied.

"Oh..." The emperor said: "Go and call Zhao Chongguo! Send someone to the Jinwu official office and let Jinwu enter the palace to see me!"

Not long after, Zhao Chongguo, the son-in-law of the servant who had been on duty in the side hall of Qingliang Hall, was ordered to come. When he came to the emperor, he said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty has to give?"

But the emperor looked at him for a long time before asking: "You are in Hexi and are the ones who are in Haixi..."

"I heard that you were discovered and promoted by Haixihou?"

Zhao Chongguo's heart immediately stumbled when he heard this.

He was recommended and promoted by Li Guangli. This is known to everyone in the court and the label of the old man from Haixi Hou is undeniable. He knew that the emperor knew more than anyone else!

So why did the emperor suddenly mention this matter?!

But he didn't have time to think too much, so he could only answer based on his instinct: "Report to Your Majesty, this is true. I was originally from Longxi, and my father was later guilty. In the fourth year of Yuanshou, I was transferred to the office and had a minister. When I was the chief of the minister, I joined the army and served as a military officer. In the second year of Tianhan, I came from Haixi to conquer the Xiongnu and met with the Xiongnu army to encircle Haixi. I fought bloody battles with my comrades and broke out. The prince of Haixi was grateful to me for his bravery and promoted him to Your Majesty. He therefore appointed me as the general, chief, guarding the Yumen Captain..."

"I know all these..." The emperor suddenly interrupted Zhao Chongguo's words and asked, "What I want to know is, today, do you still regard Haixi Hou as your superior?! You are grateful to him, so you do things more inclined to Haixi Hou?"

Zhao Chongguo heard this and immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Haixi Hou has good deeds to me, but I am Your Majesty and receive the title of Your Majesty. Therefore, in my heart, Your Majesty is like a parent, only filial and loyal to him, Haixi Hou... I used to be a minister and today's colleagues, although my kindness is there, it is just a private relationship..."

"How dare I discuss official affairs based on my personal relationship? I hope Your Majesty will observe it clearly!" As he said that, Zhao Chongguo bowed deeply.

"Why do you have to be so serious..." The emperor suddenly laughed: "I just asked casually..."

Zhao Chongguo did not dare to take this seriously, so he pressed his head tightly to the ground and did not dare to answer.

He knew very well that the emperor suddenly asked him about these things, which was not aimless, but that he must have come prepared!

The emperor did not speak anymore, but chose to turn around and leave with his hands behind.

Zhao Chongguo listened to the emperor's footsteps and still knelt in place without moving.

………………………………

Half an hour later, Zhi Jinwuhan, who was summoned, said that he hurriedly entered the palace. At the entrance of the Qingliang Palace, he saw Zhao Chongguo kneeling on the ground and motionless.

A trace of doubt and confusion flashed in his eyes, but he didn't have time to think about it and didn't dare to ask, so he had to follow the eunuch into the bedroom with fear.

As soon as he entered the door, Han Shuo saw the emperor standing in front of one wall of Qingliang Hall, as if he was looking at the map on the wall.

He immediately bowed: "I said I would like to ask Your Majesty for your good fortune!"

"Zhi Jinwu is here..." The emperor smiled and said, "You have been so glorious recently! Chao is a guest in Haixi, and Mu climbs the Taipu Gate..."

"The three dukes and nine ministers in the court, the mausoleums and ministers, and everyone is competing to invite their beloved ministers!"

"Even I envious of you!"

Han Shuo heard that for some reason, he immediately sweated heavily and had goose bumps all over the floor.

For Zhi Jinwu, the popularity in the court must be bad.

The emperor is the sword of the emperor, the shield of the emperor, the stick of the emperor, and the instrument of torture.

Throughout the ages, all the people who have held the capital of Jinwu must have been slandered and full of all the enemies of the world!

Such as the former emperor's Gangying Zhidu, as well as Wang Wenshu, and his predecessor Wang Mang.

"I am guilty of death!" Han Shuo immediately took off his hat and bowed his head. He knew he didn't dare to defend himself, nor could he defend himself. At this time, his best choice was to admit his mistake: "Please punish him severely!"

"Severe punishment? Why should I punish me severely?" the emperor asked, but the smell in his tone made Han feel uncomfortable: "You have not violated the law, and the ancestors did not say that you are not allowed to have friends..."

"Just..." The emperor suddenly changed his mind: "You are too arrogant at the banquet of all the ministers, right?"

"I heard that the court officer followed Zhao Changle, who was a little disrespectful to his beloved minister at the banquet. As a result, the next day, the censor impeached Zhao Changle as an inappropriate official and had a simple position, so he could not be a court officer..."

"I also heard that there was a Hu merchant on Hengmen Avenue who offered his treasures and jade to the emperor. Therefore, he held the Jinwu Office to control his actions and activities in Chang'an City. "

Han Shuo shivered, lay on the ground, kowtowed, "I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death!"

Because what the emperor said was all the things he had done.

In the past six months, he has indeed been floating too hard.

"I think of my brother Nai's face..." The emperor turned around and said, "You please give up and hold on to Jinwu!"

"My..." Han Shuo was exhausted when he heard this, half relieved and half lost. He took off the official seal on his waist, paused his head and bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

The emperor listened, without saying a word, turned around and said, "Han Qing... Listen to my advice..."

"You go back to Handan, don't come to Chang'an again..."

"This Chang'an is already a terrible place for you..."

"This is the last time I have thought of the senior doctor!"

"Your Majesty's teachings, I will keep them in mind!" Han Shuo bowed heavily and bowed again.

…………………………

Looking at Han Shuo's lonely back, he disappeared at the end of the palace.

The emperor sighed and recited leisurely: "The autumn wind rises and the white clouds return, and the yellow grass and trees fall, and the west geese fly south..."

"I have finally come to this point!" As he said, his eyes became extremely firm.

As a king, he already had a premonition.

Therefore, he must plan for his descendants.

The lessons of countless people such as Heng Duke Qi, Wuling of Zhao, and Emperor Qin Shi, are the first to learn from them!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was also the allusion of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan.

So, in fact, he understood that from the day he appointed the grandson, in fact, the turmoil in the future government was destined.

Once he is gone, the conflict between the prince and the grandson will immediately appear.

It may even directly trigger the worst infighting in the history of the Han Empire.

Even if that worst situation would not happen, the struggle between the ministers of the prince and the ministers of the prince would inevitably lead to division and turmoil in the country!

Therefore, the emperor knew that he had to eliminate all unstable factors for his descendants and eliminate all factors that might threaten the stability and unity of the Han Empire.

"Guo Rang!" The emperor suddenly turned around and ordered Guo Rang to the envoy who had been following him: "You go to Hexi for me!"

He took out a silk book from his arms and handed it to Guo Rang, saying, "Take this secret edict to General Ying Yang in person!"

"No!" Guo Rang immediately stopped the command of the leader, then turned around and left.

The emperor watched Guo Rang go away, walked to the wall, blew gently, and blew out the palace lanterns under the corridor column.

And the moment before the palace lanterns went out, the lights still illuminated a mural on the wall.

On the mural, a man in a crown robe was trapped in the palace. He looked suddenly and his eyes were firm.

And in front of him, a minister knelt in front of him, with his hands presenting seals.

And in the corner of this mural, there are words engraved, saying: Yi Yin welcomes Emperor Taijia and returns to Haodu.

It should be pointed out that at this moment, today's era.

A powerful minister like Yi Yin and Duke Zhou were great and upright.

From kings to common people, everyone recognizes this situation.

This is because this has been the case in the world since the Warring States Period.
