The last month of the fifteenth year of Jianxing passed quickly.

According to tradition, the Han, Wei and Wu kingdoms would hold great court gatherings on New Year's Day at the beginning of the year.

The new emperor of Wei State ascended the throne in Xuchang, officially proclaiming the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

To declare to the world that the Wei Dynasty is still the righteousness of the world.

Secondly, it also implicitly expresses to the people of Wei that where the emperor is, the country of Wei is righteous.

At the same time, a general amnesty was granted to the whole country, and all ministers and workers were promoted to nobles and received rewards.

Grand Tutor Sima Yi and General Cao Shuang both served as ministers. Both of them held righteousness, commanded the Chinese and foreign armies, recorded ministerial affairs, and each commanded 3,000 elite troops as a unit to jointly govern the government.

Among Sima Yi's descendants, three are Lieutenants and four are Cavalry Commanders.

Cao Shuang's younger brothers Cao Xi, Cao Xun, Cao Yan and others also each received awards.

Apart from these two people, the most eye-catching ones are Liu Fang, the Supervisor of the Zhongshu, and Sun Zi, the Superintendent of the Zhongshu.

These two were each added to the title of Guanglu Dafu on the left and right, with gold seals and purple ribbons, and the same rituals as the three divisions, and the number of households in the city was increased by 300.

At the same time, each of his beloved sons was granted the title of Marquis of Ting, the second son was granted the title of Cavalry Commander, and the remaining sons were all granted the title of Langzhong.

Everyone in the world is paying attention to the precious moment of these people.

However, they did not notice that Sima Shi, the son of Sima Yi, Liu Xi, the son of Liu Fang, Sun Mi, the son of Sun Zi, and others were all involved in the "glorious case" in the early years.

Nowadays, these people are either granted the title of marquis under the influence, or they occupy the position of confidants around the emperor.

This means that Cao Rui suppressed these people in his early years to curb the trend of flashy talk.

At the same time, the arrogant actions of warning the aristocratic family or the powerful people who moved closer to the aristocratic family have all been in vain.

At the same time, it also announced that family politics once again won victory in Cao Wei.

Compared with the funerals held in Wei State, the great court meeting held in the 16th year of the founding of the Han Dynasty was another lively event.

Because of the great victory in the Battle of Guanzhong, Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty held a grand court meeting in his palace in Hanzhong.

Seven minutes before the end of the night, the bells and drums in the palace were ringing, and all the officials in the court came to court and lined up in front of the palace.

I could only hear Xiaohuangmen shouting: "The auspicious time has come, His Majesty is coming to court!"

Officials with more than two thousand stones took off their shoes, took off their swords, and ran into the main hall with small steps.

The second one stood in the hall corridor, and the third one stood outside the hall.

Just waiting for the gatha writer to call the police, all the officials shouted long live.

After the emperor received the congratulations, he gave a banquet and at the same time performed a great feast.

The little fat man was very happy today. He spent his own money to buy a lot of wine and meat, and drank with his ministers until night.

The two countries of Han and Wei each had their own lively activities.

The great court meeting in Wu State seemed much deserted.

Emperor Wu used to like to hold banquets and drink with all his ministers, and even ordered that he could not leave the banquet unless he was drunk.

Logically speaking, it was Emperor Wu's favorite time to hold a banquet for legitimate reasons, such as the Great Court Meeting.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu only had a few drinks after accepting the congratulations from the ministers, which was more like a routine matter, and then hurriedly left the table.

When the ministers saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, they naturally did not dare to indulge in drinking. Otherwise, wouldn't this be an obvious attempt to bring trouble to the emperor?

When Sun Quan returned to the palace, his face looked irritable. After walking back and forth, he began to sigh again.

After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and ordered:

"Where is Zhongshu Lang?"

Zhongshu Lang, who was on duty, trotted in quickly and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"I have something that I haven't decided for a long time. I want to ask the Prime Minister for advice. You can go to the Prime Minister's house for me."

"promise."

Gu Yong was not surprised at all when he learned that the emperor had sent Zhongshu Lang from the palace.

In other words, he made himself look calm.

As the nominal chief minister, Gu Yong sat closest to the emperor. Naturally, he could see that his majesty was full of worries.

After asking everyone in the family to leave, Gu Yong asked;

"May I ask Zhongshu Lang, what kind of instructions does your Majesty have?"

Zhongshu Lang quickly replied:

"Exactly, Your Majesty asked me to come here just to ask the Prime Minister: Over the years, Wu and Han have joined forces to fight against thieves, and Shu has succeeded many times. Now Liangyong and the three states have fallen into their hands."

"But Da Wu spent countless money and food, but made no progress. Every time I think about this, I can't help but feel heartbroken."

Now that we have heard that Wei's puppet emperor Cao Rui died suddenly as he was sent by heaven, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition? Therefore, I want to join forces with the Han rulers again this year to attack the thieves together, is that okay?"

After listening to what Zhongshu Lang relayed, Gu Yong just sat back in his seat silently and remained silent for a long time.

Zhongshu Lang waited for a long time, but when Gu Yong didn't speak, he had to ask carefully: "Prime Minister?"

Gu Yong was still sitting there with his head down, as if he was asleep.

Zhongshu Lang had no choice but to speak louder: "Prime Minister?"

"Oh? Oh, it turns out to be Zhongshu Lang, why haven't you left yet?"

Gu Yong finally raised his head and asked with some confusion.

When Zhongshu Lang heard this, he was immediately stunned:

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty is still waiting for your reply."

Gu Yong shook his head: "I am already old and stupid. I am afraid that I cannot give your Majesty too much advice on this matter."

"Ah, this..."

It was the first time for the young Zhongshu Lang to be sent to the Prime Minister's residence. How could he have known that he would encounter such a scene?

But seeing him dumbfounded, Na Na didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, you will tell the truth when you return, and His Majesty will not blame you."

Gu Yong seemed unwilling to say anything. After saying this, he stood up and prepared to see off the guests.

Zhongshu Lang had no choice but to leave the palace uneasily and return to the palace uneasily.

Before he could speak, Sun Quan asked him directly:

"You're back so soon? The Prime Minister didn't prepare any food or drinks for you?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister didn't want to say that he was having a banquet, and he didn't want to say much. He only said that he was too old to give His Majesty advice on this matter."

As Zhongshu Lang spoke, he looked at His Majesty carefully, for fear that His Majesty would be angry.

That's the Prime Minister!

His Majesty personally sent him to ask for advice on state affairs. How dare he say that he is old and fatuous and ignores state affairs?

Unexpectedly, Sun Quan was not angry after hearing Zhongshu Lang's words. Instead, he sighed:

"So, the Prime Minister doesn't agree with my idea!"

Gu Yong is a man who does not drink alcohol and is taciturn.

If the memorial is accepted and used, it will be attributed to the superior; if it is not accepted, it will be kept secret.

If the emperor asks him for advice and he thinks it can be implemented, he will prepare food and drinks for Zhongshu Lang who comes to his residence, and he will take the opportunity to study it over and over again to avoid any omissions.

If he didn't agree with the emperor's idea, he would remain silent, and naturally he would not entertain Zhongshu Lang.

So when Sun Quan heard that Gu Yong did not entertain Zhongshu Lang, he already knew in his heart that Gu Yong was opposed to this matter.

But when he remembered that the two countries had joined forces to defeat the thieves, and the Han Kingdom had conquered the land of Yong and merged the two states, its national power had greatly increased.

But I was still blocked in Hefei, and I couldn't help but feel jealous and anxious.

The one who is jealous is Han, and the one who is anxious is himself.

As a close confidant of the emperor, Lv Yi, secretary of the school affairs office, had long noticed that His Majesty was in a bad mood these days.

Now that I finally knew what His Majesty was thinking, I took the opportunity to suggest:

"Your Majesty, it is right for the Prime Minister to consult the Prime Minister on the government affairs of the DPRK. But everyone in the world says that the General knows the military situation, so when it comes to Chinese and foreign military affairs, you have to ask the General."

"What's more, during the Northern Expedition last year, the superior general advised your Majesty to retreat. Your Majesty has not yet understood the true meaning. Why don't you send someone to Wuchang to inquire now?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he frowned.

During the Northern Expedition last year, Lu Xun, like others, persuaded himself to withdraw at the most critical moment.

The so-called knowing the strength of the troops, doesn't it mean that there is no time to make mistakes?

Besides, I asked him to sit in Wuchang so that he could take charge of everything west of Yuzhang.

This is already considered extremely trustworthy.

This does not mean that even matters east of Yuzhang must be decided by him.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Quan finally wrote a letter and sent someone to Wuchang.

After all, the Prime Minister does not agree with his own ideas. If he insists on the Northern Expedition this year, it will seem a bit stubborn.

If Lu Xun could be made to agree to this matter, it would be a good choice.

After Lu Xun of Wuchang received the letter from Sun Quan, he immediately found Zhuge Jin, the general who was guarding Jingzhou, and showed Zhuge Jin the handwritten letter.

At the same time he said with some worry:

"Over the past few years, His Majesty has been planning to go north almost every year. He has spent a lot of money and food, and has had to make a lot of money repeatedly. Nowadays, the prices among the people are soaring, and the people are quite complaining."

"I heard that in the Jingzhou area, many people don't like to use big money, or they barter with grain and silk. Large families would rather use Shu money notes. This shows that the disadvantages of big money are serious!"

"Therefore, I think it is better for Your Majesty to rest for the people and not to use weapons anymore. What do you think, Tzuyu?"
