Straight man of steel

Chapter 116 Liu Che's Devious Strategy

Regardless of whether the matter was important or not, going on an mission was always a matter of communication with foreign countries.

Zhang Yuan was not surprised that this kind of matter was brought up for discussion again at the court meeting, but Liu Che, who had a certain idea in mind, probably could not tolerate the ministers' refutation this time.

The reconciliation of the Xiongnu is a top priority. At least it will harm the border people, and at the most serious, it will shake the country. The ministers will never allow such a thing to make any mistakes.

However, going on a mission to Southwest Yi to appease the people of Bashu is a relatively gentle matter. When he heard that Zhang Yuan was going on an mission, Tian Fu immediately stood up and was the first to agree. the sound of.

After listening to Chu Da finish talking about what happened at today's court meeting, Zhang Yuan knew why Liu Che appointed him as the pedestrian order.

Liu Che wanted to use a softer approach to deal with Tian Fu. Since you, a prime minister, have stood by the emperor for the first time, there will definitely be a second and third time. In the future, the emperor's opinion will become more and more frequent. It is equivalent to the opinion of the prime minister, and such a prime minister can only be called the emperor's minion.

"It seems that there will be a lot less disputes in the court in the future. Once His Majesty and the Prime Minister are no longer on opposite sides, the big man will have only one voice left."

After hearing Zhang Yuan's opinion, Chu Da immediately shouted.

"Impossible. As the head of a hundred officials, the Prime Minister must lead the officials to check and balance His Majesty and prevent His Majesty from acting arbitrarily."

Although Zhang Yuan called Chu Da "Brother Chu", he still couldn't hold back at this moment and patted him.

"Ayuan, why did you hit me?"

"Brother Chu, you have to remember that you are a retainer of the emperor, you should do what your majesty thinks, and you have to think so if your majesty wants the prime minister to be useless.

You still don't know why the Shaofu Supervisor has changed from top to bottom, isn't it because they have always wanted to join the Queen Mother to check and balance His Majesty.

They are all pig-headed. Your Majesty is only this year, and Queen Dowager Dou is too old. Now that Queen Dowager Dou has passed away, why don't these people all go underground to accompany their master.

I'm going to Shu County soon, my younger brother would like to remind you, Brother Chu, that although the Shaofu Supervisor is under the jurisdiction of the Queen Mother, you must not get too close to the Queen Mother and Queen Chen. Even if the power can turn against his grandmother, there is nothing he can't do.

Even because of filial piety, he can only serve his mother carefully, but he doesn't have that obligation and need to serve with you. "

Zhang Yuan didn't know what was wrong with him, he said so many words all at once, but the more he listened, Chu Da became more and more frightened, and he rushed forward and covered Zhang Yuan's mouth.

"Ayuan, this is Jianzhang Palace, be careful what you say.

I understand everything you said and will pay attention to it in the future. "

Although it was dangerous to say these words, Zhang Yuan was still extremely relaxed in his heart. Liu Che did not get along with Tian Fu in an extremely sharp way, which meant that Liu Che's opinion of Tian Fu was not so big now, but Tian Fu didn't think about the 360-degree restriction of Liu Che.

It seems that the probability that he will be involved is not that high. As long as Tian Fu dies in a few years, the mountain pressing on Zhang Yuan's shoulders will be gone.

"Brother Chu, I'm here for the people in my family. You also know that I'm going to be an envoy. The Zhang family still needs your help."

Chu Da finally showed a little smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Ayuan, Lao Zhao and I are already familiar with each other. Even without your words, if they come to your door, I will still help."

Zhang Yuan is not in the Zhang Manor, so Liu Che will definitely not be idle and has nothing to do, and Shanglin Garden is a restricted area. Although there is such a grand event as a spring safari, it is held in Duling, and those nobles can't come to Lantian. .

"Then thank you, brother Chu. I will definitely be rewarded when I come back."

After saying hello to Chu Da, Zhang Yuan rushed to Wei Qing's place again. The friendship between the two was already fatal, so there was no need to talk about anything else, and they left after saying hello.

Wei Qing can be counted as one of the most powerful officials under Liu Che who can die well, and Zhang Yuan is not worried about him at all.

After rushing back to Chang'an to meet up with Er Dan and the others before dark, Zhang Yuan rested. He had to go to Da Xing Ling's official residence again the next morning.

Liu Che had already returned to Wang for the holiday, and all relevant things were handed over to the officials under the Daxingling for preparation. Everyone seemed to know that Zhang Yuan was not in Chang'an that day, and no one came to him.

Zhang Yuan, who had been running around for a day or two, fell asleep on the pillow.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning, Er Dan knocked on his door, and he woke up.

He packed up his things and rode towards Da Xingling's official residence.

Before arriving, I saw a smooth convoy outside the official residence, which was full of goods. Up to now, Zhang Yuan only knew that he was going to appease the people, and told Tang Meng about the conquest of the wild people in Yelang country. It was about going to Yelang Kingdom as an envoy. As for the purpose of the envoy, I knew nothing about it.

"Zhang Xingren has such great official authority, it will be easy for our group to wait."

Sima Xiangru rode on his horse early and stood at the front of the motorcade in official uniform, holding a talisman and a box in his hand.

"No one told me when to leave. It's only Chen's hour, why is Officer Sima Lang so impatient?"

There were people standing beside the horse team, as if they were just waiting for Zhang Yuan to set off. The talismans were all in Sima Xiangru's hands. It seemed that Wang Hui was waiting to rush to the court meeting, so he handed the talismans to Sima Xiangru first. like.

"Zhang Xingren, this is a talisman. As for this, this is a document given to you by His Majesty."

Sima Xiangru didn't want to hold these two things for a moment. The more he did this, the more he felt that he was attacking Zhang Yuan, although that was the fact.

Just as Zhang Yuan received the talisman and the wooden box, the official under the Daxingling who took him to receive the official uniform and seal yesterday ran out of the mansion.

"Zhang Xingren, the next official is your subordinate officer Huo Zhong, I just forgot for not being able to introduce myself yesterday.

Da Xing ordered you to rush to court, so he didn't wait. He knew that you didn't understand anything, so he sent his subordinates to give you insights on the way. Now we can set off. "

Huo Zhong said that Zhang Yuan didn't understand anything, which caused Sima Xiangru to sneer, but Zhang Yuan didn't mind, it was true, he really didn't understand anything, he didn't even know what he was going to do next.

Following Sima Xiangru's previous behavior, Zhang Yuan held up the talisman in his left hand and picked up the wooden box in his right hand. Although he was a little tired, he still led the convoy towards Zhicheng Gate.

The sun rising from the east, just shining the sun like this, only left a back for the people in Chang'an City, but no back.
