Chapter 1198 Prince (2)(1/2)
Thirty miles outside Chang'an City, where the Wei Bridge is located.
As Liu Jin's Yuanfu Minister, Zhang Yue stood quietly behind the Grand Prince of Han, waiting for the Prince who returned from Luoyang to return to Beijing.
But there is no lack of deep complaints in my heart.
"It took only three or five hundred miles from Huayin to Chang'an, but the prince left for almost ten days..." He pursed his lips and thought in his heart: "Even King Chang of Zhao arrived in Chang'an earlier than our prince..."
This has to make Zhang Yue more vigilant.
Although there is a very perfect explanation for the prince's health that King Changyi was not feeling well, as the eldest brother, the prince was waiting on the road.
No one can make any mistakes in this.
But is the truth really the case?
Is it impossible for Changyi King Liu Feng's body to even take a bus?
Therefore, others will believe this explanation, but Zhang Yue will not believe it.
Although Prince Liu Ju is a gentleman, how could any of the ministers around him be good at it?
Anyway, in Chang'an these days, Zhang Yue was idle and had nothing to do, so he read the resumes of the main officials from Luoyang Zhihe Protectorate.
Then he discovered that the people used by Prince Liu Ju in Luoyang's He Protectorate's Mansion were not only Zhang He and other nearby officials brought from Chang'an.
All of the rest were selected from the land of Qingxu, Qilu.
Moreover, most of their backgrounds are all courtesy and nobles, and famous families, and these people basically have backgrounds from ancient literature schools.
For example, Mr. Kong Anguo, who had asked Jun to find an opportunity to kill him, is now appointed by the prince as the governor of the river and the governor of Qingzhou, responsible for river exploration in the entire Qingzhou and Jizhou area.
And Kong Anguo is by no means a good man.
The tenth-generation grandson of Confucius's desire for power is almost the same as that of Confucius, but unfortunately he does not have the mind and knowledge of Confucius.
So, in Zhang Yue's eyes, he was Mr. Jia, who returned to China next week BC.
Although he had only met him a few times, Zhang Yue understood that it was an extremely dangerous guy.
Once you are exposed to power, its ability to destroy will be at the level of natural disasters!
You don’t have to look at the goodbye. Just look at the ancient scriptures created by him and Liu Yu, the King of Lu Gong, you can know what good things can be for a person who can even do things like bullying his master and destroying his ancestors without hesitation, and enjoy the benefits of the result with peace of mind?
In short, Zhang Yue was very alert to Kong Anguo!
Because he knew that people like Kong Anguo were not scary in normal times.
What’s scary is that they took power!
Just like the Donglin Party in later generations, and also like Omi's Bai Zuo.
When they have no power, they may still be cute, but once they have power, they will be natural disasters, even more terrifying than natural disasters.
Now, there is more than one Kong Anguo around the prince.
This is what Zhang Yue fears the most!
"Zhang Qing, why are you a little unhappy?" Liu Jin suddenly turned around and asked in a low voice.
"I am thinking about the Huns..." Zhang Yue replied: "Li Ling of the Huns in the Western Regions is already planning a western expedition to Kangju... I am worried that he will launch a western expedition when I return to Beijing..."
"That's it..." Liu Jin immediately expressed his understanding: "However, this cannot be..."
After staying in Juyan for more than a year, Liu Jin also had a cognition of the Western Regions and the world he had explored, had a certain degree of military knowledge, and often discussed war with Zhang Yue.
Therefore, he knew that the Xiongnu in the Western Regions had been preparing and planning the Western Expedition since the Battle of Shule.
This is quite convenient for them who have now controlled the southwestern Dayuan region.
Starting from Dayuan, the Hun cavalry could drive straight into the Chu River Basin within three days, but the Chu River threatened the Yuezhi in the Weishui River Basin.
In Juyan, after many sand table deductions, the Han army had already clearly known that once the Huns fought westward.
People in Kangju may not be able to withstand their pace, and may not even be able to stop it for even three months.
Because the Xiongnu in the Western Regions are no longer the same as before.
In the spring of this year, Li Ling withdrew 20,000 cavalry that had been deployed in the private tracts and seas to the Western Regions.
Wei Lu led tens of thousands of troops to return, and the available troops of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions have reached its peak now.
As a result, the conditions for their Western Expedition were ripe.
Now, Zhang Yue’s return to the court to report his duties has cleared the last obstacle for them.
Now Li Ling can let go of the Western Expedition, and there is no need to worry about being led by Zhang Yue to stab the chrysanthemum.
Of course, this is actually a condition that Zhang Yue deliberately created for Li Ling.
If the Huns did not fight westward, where did the Han army get the excuse and reason to conquer that vast world?
Of course, Zhang Yue didn't talk about these things with Liu Jin.
Therefore, Liu Jin sighed and said, "I have to avenge the people of the Western Regions..."
Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing as he heard this.
Liu Jin was so novice back then, but now he is also becoming dark-hearted.
I can only say that the main body is really a big dyeing vat!
As the king and his ministers spoke, the prince's carriage was already driving onto the bridge opposite the Wei Bridge in the distance.
Liu Jin and Zhang Yue hurriedly ended the conversation, followed the Zong Zhengqing Liu De, who was in charge of the Emperor's Day, and welcomed him with dozens of royal family princes, princes, nobles and nobles.
"I welcome my family to return to the court..."
"My son is welcome to the emperor back to Beijing..."
"I welcome the family..."
In the bustling hustle and bustle, Prince Liu Ju, who had not seen him for almost two years, walked out of the prince's chariot in a robe and crown, and surrounded by his ministers, and came to the ministers.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zong Zheng..." Liu Ju first helped Zong Zhengqing Liu De up, and then his eyes looked at Liu Jin and Zhang Yue behind Liu Jin.
"My son has grown up!" Liu Ju walked to Liu Jin, smiled happily, pulled Liu Jin, patted the latter's shoulder and said, "It's actually a man named Qiqiuan!"
When Liu Jin heard this, his face turned red with excitement. For him, his father's praise was much better than that.
Only Zhang Yue couldn't help but a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
Because, Liu Ju's words seem normal.
But what is the occasion now?
With so many princes, royal family and ministers, he, the prince, said to the grandson of the country in public, "It's actually a man who is seven feet tall."
Isn’t the subtext of this sentence that Tai Sun Jin is just a child with a bad breast?
Perhaps Zhang Yue is too sensitive.
But he always felt that in such an occasion and in the current situation, Liu said this, it was not suitable!
Not to mention the other side, as long as today's events are hyped and heated up, they can bring several rhythms related to Liu Jin in the public opinion circle.
The image and status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can even be completely placed under Liu Ju.
Moreover, there is no way to counter the situation, whether it is Liu Jin or Zhang Yue.
The father and son are in charge of the rule of law, the monarch and ministers are sufficient to allow Liu Ju's ministers to manipulate and hype as they wish, and ultimately achieve certain goals.
So, Zhang Yue's brows frowned slightly.
At this time, Liu Ju's gaze just fell on him.
"Yinghou!" Liu Ju smiled and looked at Zhang Yue, and said kindly: "I haven't seen him for several years. Yinghou is as expected, as he has become a minister of the country!"
Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "I dare not be the leader of the family. I am just lucky to be trusted by Your Majesty and blessed by our ancestors..."
"You are so humble!" Liu Ji took Liu Jin's hand and walked to Zhang Yue, stretched out his hand, pulled Zhang Yue's hand, and said affectionately like the wise king in the storybook who saw a famous minister: "Your achievements are so shocked even if you are alone in Luoyang..."
"If you can get your assistance, the world will be very lucky and the country will be very lucky!"
Zhang Yue listened, but he immediately took off his hat and thanked him, "How dare I claim to be a mere me?"
But I was already in my heart and looked at the prince in front of me as if I was looking at a stranger.
Because he knew that Prince Liu Ju had been digging a hole for him since the first sentence he said to the present!
His praise and comments were like swords, placed on Zhang Yue's neck.
Just imagine that as long as Zhang Yue dares to show his pride and speaks a little bit of proud words, he may immediately fall into the pit.
As long as someone exaggerates it a little, what is passed down to the emperor will completely change.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but take a deep breath in his heart: "I have changed my position in Luoyang for two years, and the prince's throne has already changed... Time is really amazing..."
If you think about it carefully, this is the right thing to do.
Society and doing things are the most capable of training and tempering people.
In the later generations, many innocent and romantic ideals in college have been tempered into a workplace elite who are versatile, thoughtful and scheming in just two or three years after entering society?
What's more, Liu Jin was in charge of river management in Luoyang, and he needed to contact people from all aspects and learn about all aspects of things.
