Straight man of steel

Chapter 113 His Majesty Is Always Angry
The matter of the Xiongnu's marriage did not cause an uproar in the big man. Everyone seemed to be used to it. Although they felt shame and anger, no one said that it was wrong to do so.

After Zhang Yuan heard the news, his heart sank for a moment. He didn't expect that the news about Tian Fu from Jianzhang Palace was not about him competing with Liu Che for the right to appoint officials, but about the marriage of the Huns.

Zhang Yuan didn't believe that so many officials were all foolish people. Since Liu Che was able to discuss this kind of matter, he must be thinking of doing it directly.

"Brother Chu, what do these ministers think? Your Majesty's thoughts are not difficult to guess."

Recently, Zhang Yuan got a new thing. Zhuo Wenjun made some tea and asked the family steward to bring it to Zhuo's store in Lantian County.

Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no word for tea. Although in the interpretation of the book, tea is not tea, but the folks can also refer to it as tea.

Because the taste is really bitter, Zhang Yuan puts less tea each time, supplemented by the sweet spring of Lantian Mountain, the taste is still good.

When Chu Da heard Zhang Yuan's question, he was not in a hurry to answer, and took a sip from his teacup before opening his mouth to speak.

"The ancestral system is hard to violate, especially the Empress Dowager has just passed away, and there is still a lot of resistance from His Majesty in the court."

After several years of planting, now Guanzhong is full of people who grow watermelons, beets and potatoes. Zhang Yuan has lost his role in Shanglin Garden. matter.

When the royal family wants to renege on their debts, most of them will adopt this method, just forget the previous will.

Fortunately, Zhang's mansion is not very far from Lantian County, and there are enough smooth roads. Selling some watermelon sugar will not be included in the scope of merchants. Instead, it can be sold at a better price. Why not do it for Zhang Yuan , but the collected copper coins are so thin that they can be broken in two with a single force, there is no way.

“It doesn’t matter about the ancestral system, it’s just that the ministers have not yet built enough confidence in His Majesty, or some people think that attacking the Xiongnu will not gain enough benefits.

Brother Chu, think about it, if my Han Dynasty had ever been victorious against the Huns, and the Huns were rich in property, and every time they attacked them, everyone would be able to get enough benefits, and the court would definitely be in a one-sided situation. "

The reason why Chu Da often comes to Zhang Mansion is not because the food in Zhang Mansion is delicious, but mainly because he can always gain something from talking with Zhang Yuan. This young man who has only been in Chang'an for a few years seems to understand Liu Che better than any of them. .

"Everyone in the world is chasing profit, A Yuan, you are right."

The intersection of summer and autumn makes everyone feel depressed and difficult to express. Drinking a sip of herbal tea and eating a sip of watermelon seem to be the best way to relieve boredom.

Liu Che, who was in Jianzhang Palace at the moment, obviously did not have such a way to relieve his boredom.

Snapped.

A scroll of slips slammed onto the ground in the front hall of Jianzhang Palace.

"Thousands of people died after building a road. Is this Tang Meng a waste?"

There were only Liu Che and Wang Sui in the front hall, and Liu Che was roaring into the air.

Wang Sui didn't dare to answer, because Liu Che was already furious about the Xiongnu's marriage before, and this time it was an introduction to ignite Liu Che's anger.

Everything in the front hall was new, but Liu Che smashed them one by one, as if this was the only way he could let out his anger.

It took Wang Sui, who had been kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, for a while to stop hearing the huge collision. Only Liu Che's breathing echoed in the hall.

"Go and find Sima Xiangru and Zhang Yuan for me."

"Here."

Wang Sui still dared to stay there, so he ran out to find someone to summon Sima Xiangru and Zhang Yuan.

The Son of Heaven doesn't care about the affairs of the dead. People who are dead are of no value to him. He cares more about the opinions of the living.

Because a large number of corvees were conscripted to build roads, and after thousands of people died, the people in Bashu and Sichuan were in constant panic. Everyone was worried that they would be expropriated to build roads. All the people were mourning. Liu Che wanted It is a prosperous age in which the barbarians conquered the country and the prosperity of the country. The current turmoil in Bashu obviously does not meet the standards of a prosperous age.

Sima Xiangru lived in Maoling, a literati who claimed to be a close minister of the emperor. After Liu Che lost his interest in hunting, he had no use for him and could only stay at his home in Maoling.

Maolingyi and Lantian County are exactly on the same line with Chang'an as the midpoint, and the distance from Chang'an City is also the same.

Sima Xiangru and Zhang Yuan arrived almost at the same time, but it was already late at night, that is, Jianzhang Palace was outside Chang'an, otherwise entering the city would be a troublesome thing.

There was a small yellow gate leading the way ahead, and Zhang Yuan was not interested in talking to Sima Xiangru even after they met, so he walked straight to the front hall of Jianzhang Palace with his head down.

Sima Xiangru's face was about to overflow with a smile for someone who was also at home, but Zhang Yuan was worried that history had been deviated because of him.

Both of them knew that Liu Che had summoned the two of them because of something. Zhang Yuan remembered this matter very clearly. According to historical records, Liu Che only summoned Sima Xiangru.

In the process of pondering the butterfly effect, the two of them have already entered the front hall.

Liu Che held his head and was reading the various memorials submitted from the southwest region, all of which were for impeaching Tang Meng.

"Your Majesty, Officer Sima Lang and Shu Zhang Zuo have arrived."

The hall was really too big, and Zhang Yuan and Sima Xiangru came in with their shoes off, and they walked silently. If Wang Sui didn't remind them, they would have to stand underneath the whole time.

"The two of you are finally here."

Liu Che is impatient, especially when something happens, he can't wait to solve it immediately. After waiting for a day, he is already very tired, but when Liu Che is tired, Zhang Yuan feels comfortable in his heart. It is better to be so tired that he has no energy to get angry temper.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuan and Sima Xiangru shouted at Liu Che saluting.

"Since you two already know why I asked you to come here, let's each express some opinions."

Sima Xiangru held back his words and waited for Liu Che to give him a chance to speak. Zhang Yuan didn't compete with him and continued to bow his head in silence.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that I can go to Shu County as an envoy to appease the hearts of the people for Your Majesty. The border people have never felt the grace of heaven, and it is human nature to complain. As long as the envoy of the Son of Heaven appears in Shu County with the power of the Son of Heaven, there will be no more people." I am dissatisfied with General Tang Meng's actions."

Tang Meng's official position was much higher than Sima Xiangru's. Even if he knew that Liu Che was dissatisfied with Tang Meng, Sima Xiangru would not dare to blame Tang Meng.

After Liu Che heard it, there was no surprise on his face. Sending people to Shu County was the only way he could think of.
