Straight man of steel

Chapter 451 A Sudden Marriage

Liu Che casually asked Zhang Yuan some other questions, and Zhang Yuan answered them one by one.

After talking about the battle of Fuyangjushancha, Liu Che looked at Zhang Cigong and others.

"Yantouhou, you and the generals go down.

I will announce it to the world when the rewards and other autumn festivals are held. "

Zhang Cigong nodded, and the others also agreed to leave.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Liu Che is going to whisper to Zhang Yuan.

After several people left the hall, Liu Che stood up from his throne and walked to Zhang Yuan's side.

"You suggest that I deprive the county of the right to mint coins, but I haven't considered it yet."

"Your Majesty, this matter must be done. Otherwise, Your Majesty will hand over the copper mold of five baht to them. There is a huge profit hidden in it. Those people are not honest people."

Dahan did not prohibit officials from accepting gifts.

Under such an environment, accepting bribes is not illegal, so naturally there are no honest officials.

When your faculties are poor, it can only mean that you have no real power.

The reason why the big man has repeatedly reformed the currency system, but has not been successful is that the copper molds flow out, and the channels for the flow out are inseparable from these counties.

"But if there is no such income, those counties and states will probably ask me for money."

"Your Majesty, won't you be able to control the big man better in this way?

You think about what you are worried about. The domestic is nothing more than thinking about not causing trouble, and not having people who provoke rebellion.

Without money, where do they raise their troops? "

Zhang Yuan saw that Liu Che's determination to reform the currency system was not very firm, so he immediately raised the most important point.

It was also a point that Liu Che had been worried about.

It can be seen from Liu Che's ability to reform the currency system that he has no such determination, but only changes it when he sees a mess.

Anyway, for Liu Che, reform is as simple as drinking plain water. If you want to reform, you can change it. As for the direction, it doesn't matter.

"You're right, money can't be put in the hands of people with different hearts.

Before the autumn festival, I will take back the minting rights of all regions to the central government. "

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I still have some things I don't understand. How did you block King Xiutu and King Hunxie?"

Zhang Yuan smiled, he has never explained this matter.

"At that time, I asked Da Sima Weiqing if it was the rainy season in Damo. I wonder if His Majesty still has any impression?"

"I have a little impression that you dared to take over this mess after asking."

"The key is in this rainy season, we have a map of the desert and know the distribution of rivers in the desert.

Although I don't know where those seasonal rivers are, but during the rainy season, the rivers on the map will definitely extend, thus blocking all the roads from Langjuxu Mountain to Junji Mountain.

If King Xiutu and King Hunxie want to go to Tuidang City, there are only two ways to go. They can either pass through Henan, but that will definitely expose them directly, or they can only walk along Fuyangju Mountain to the south of Junji Mountain. narrow. "

"What is the purpose of this seasonal river?"

"Well, seasonal rivers are rivers that only appear during the rainy season."

"Oh, I see."

When it comes to topics that Liu Che doesn't understand, his interest is obviously not that great.

After speaking, he immediately returned to his seat and sat down.

"By the way, I want to tell you something."

"Your Majesty, please tell me, I will definitely do it."

"You are over 30 now, you have never been married, and you have no children under your knees. My sister discussed with me and decided to give you a marriage."

"what?"

Before Zhang Yuan could react, he raised his head and shouted at Liu Che.

"You're not satisfied?"

Seeing that Liu Che was about to lose his temper, Zhang Yuan immediately lowered his head.

"I dare not."

"Don't worry, you won't be wronged by this marriage, my sister found a descendant of the Xiao family for you.

Great-granddaughter of Marquis Feng Wenzhong, on the day of your wedding, I will restore the title of Marquis Feng, a descendant of the Xiao family.

Your roots are weak, the Cao family has no unmarried daughters, and the princesses are either married or underage.

My sister thinks that among the noble men and nobles of the Han Dynasty, the one who is most suitable for you is the descendant of the Xiao family. "

"After leaving the palace, I will definitely come to pay respects to Princess Pingyang."

"You should thank your sister for marrying a mistress in the family as soon as possible, and marrying a few side rooms.

It should also be that the big man gives birth to more talents, I promise you one thing, if you can give birth to a boy, I will allow him to study with the prince. "

When Liu Che said this, Zhang Yuan's first reaction was to think of Han Yan.

He told Han that in that way, Han Yan would definitely speak ill of herself to Liu Che in the future, so it would be better to give Liu Che a vaccination now.

"Your Majesty mentioned this, and I suddenly thought of Han Shuo, brother of the senior doctor Han Yan."

"Oh? Didn't he go out with you? What happened to him?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Han has repeatedly asked for an expedition, and the last general has already made arrangements in his heart, so he rejected him."

"You are General Wei, the commander-in-chief of the [-] cavalry, and Han must listen to this arrangement.

You don't need to tell me about this. "

"Your Majesty once asked me about the five baht money, but I didn't explain it clearly to General Han, he said that I deliberately kept it from the Holy Will.

At that time, he was in the army, and he was the commander of an army. He was repeatedly provoked by one of his subordinates, and in the end he resorted to military law.

General Han is seriously injured now, I am afraid that the doctor Han Yan will feel displeased. "

Zhang Yuan is now a favorite, a great hero who has returned from a victorious battle, and he has not accepted Liu Che's seal of grand tutor, he just wants to prevent future troubles.

"Is there such a thing?"

"I dare not lie to Your Majesty. There are many people who know about this matter. Your Majesty can ask a few people to find out the whole story."

"I believe in you."

Liu Che stroked his specially grown beard and squinted at Zhang Yuan.

It seems to be asking: Do you only want this?
Zhang Yuan knelt on the ground on one knee and bowed to Liu Che.

"The minister can gain His Majesty's trust, and there will be no complaints in this life."

Last time Zhang Yuan got Li Guang, now he just wants to get Han Shuo.

And this victory is even more exciting than the last one.

The last time Wei Qing was the coach, this time Zhang Yuan was the coach, and he didn't even use the [-] sluggish pawns behind him.

Liu Che thought for a while, then opened his mouth and said slowly.

"Since Han said that the injury is serious, then cut off his position and let him recuperate at home first."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Yuan didn't mean to make trouble for Han, he just wanted to lighten his burden.

The more things Zhang Yuan wants, the lighter the future reward will be.

For Liu Che, it was a matter of opening his mouth to break a person directly, just to let Liu Che tell Han Shuo that he was out of work at home.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I still want to go to the Marquis of Pingyang to thank Princess Pingyang for her kindness, so I will take my leave first."

"Okay, I've been out fighting for a long time, go home after going to my sister's place, there should be someone waiting for you at home."

Liu Che meant to let Zhang Yuan go home to appease Zhuo Wenjun.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I understand."

After leaving Weiyang Palace, Zhang Yuan didn't go to Pingyang Hou's Mansion immediately.

Instead, I went to meet the prime minister and doctor Yushi.

Although the official position of General Wei is still in his body, it is always right for all the officials to go back to Chang'an to pay respects to these two.

Even if you become a general, you have to show respect to the prime minister.

Because the prime minister can withstand pressure.

If a person doesn't pay attention to the prime minister, the emperor will only think that your official position is really over.

This is what it means to be human.

The prime minister of the big man is basically here to take the blame.

As long as you always respect the Prime Minister, you will always be inferior to two people and superior to ten thousand people.

This is the wisdom of being an official.

As a result, the prime minister Xue Ze and the censor Zhang Ouke were not used by Zhang Yuan.

When these two old foxes sent Zhang Yuan out, they walked all the way to the street and didn't go back. They didn't go back until they watched Zhang Yuan's war horse leave.

After Zhang Yuan saw it, he felt that he was still a little tender compared with these old foxes.

His small selfishness was easily seen through by the other party.

After coming out of the imperial censor's mansion, Zhang Yuan found Wang Qing, who was still working as a censor.

"Congratulations to the teacher, above the autumn festival, the teacher must be the protagonist."

"Being the protagonist is not a good thing. I came to you to ask you if anything happened while I was away from Chang'an.

Especially about Zhu Fuyan. "

"My father, Yan, went to the state of Qi to be the prime minister."

"When did you leave?"

"It will be about seven days after your departure, teacher."

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed, this guy was finally finished.

Maybe it can be over before Wei Qing comes back, and the gap between Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing can be repaired by then, and Wei Qing won't be unhappy because of Zhang Yuan's victory this time.

"Okay, go find Yan Yi and go to my mansion with him. The night is a family feast."

"Students go here."

Liu Che said that Zhang Yuan has no children, but Zhang Yuan still has two students.

After finishing all this work, Zhang Yuan rode his horse towards the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

He really wanted to ask clearly, Princess Pingyang, your husband is dead, why don't you hurry up and marry yourself to save yourself from being a widow every day, eating carrots and worrying about other people's affairs.

Zhang Yuan must not be so straightforward. When he saw Princess Pingyang, the first sentence he spoke was not scolding.

"I pay homage to Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"Hey, isn't this my great hero Xin'an Hou Zhang Yuan?

After going to His Majesty's place, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Yushi Dafu's Mansion. I thought you would pay homage to all the Jiuqings in Chang'an City. "

"Your Highness the Princess, what are you talking about? After returning to Beijing to see His Majesty, I should go to see the Prime Minister and Doctor Yushi out of emotion and reason. This is the duty of a minister."

Zhang Yuan called himself a subordinate, but in fact, the position of General Wei is no less valuable than that of Doctor Yushi.

It's just that the real power of the doctor censor is greater. There are dozens of censors in his hands, and more than 100 people above the court, one-third of them are subordinates of others.

"That's true. His Majesty must have told you about choosing the main room for you."

Princess Pingyang pretended to be confused, if no one came from the palace, how would she know that Zhang Yuan had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion and also the Yushi Doctor's Mansion, obviously someone was watching.

"Your Majesty said so, so I came here to thank you.

I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness could still worry about my family affairs when I was fighting thousands of miles away. "

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Princess Pingyang's complexion suddenly sank.

"Are you blaming me for being troublesome?"

"I dare not, Her Royal Highness has misunderstood me."

Zhang Yuan said quickly.

"In this case, I will arrange a date as soon as possible. Just recently, you are going to marry the great-granddaughter of Marquis Feng Wenzhong."

Both Princess Pingyang and Liu Che have a great-granddaughter, as if Zhang Yuan is a grandson.

Zhang Yuan had long thought that there would be such a day, and he told Zhuo Wenjun that if he couldn't resist, he could only accept it.

"I don't know the situation of Bing Wen's descendants. Isn't this a bit fast?"

"Don't worry, I've asked someone to do the math, and your horoscopes match very well.

In addition, they are well matched. His Majesty wants to restore their family's title of marquis. You will marry the daughter of the first marquis of the Han Dynasty, Marquis Fou. "

Emperor Gaozu made a list of heroes. Xiao He was the number one hero in the founding of the Western Han Dynasty. Princess Pingyang said that Marquis Feng was the number one marquis of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, Zhang Yuan didn't even know his name or age, so he was arranged for a marriage.

"Since Her Highness the Princess has to worry about everything for me, then I can only wait at home.

It was getting late, so I didn't want to bother Her Highness the Princess. There was a family banquet at home, so I left first. "

"Wait, let's take Xiang'er to the Marquis of Xin'an for dinner.

The chef of the Pingyang Hou Mansion has diarrhea recently, and the food he cooks is not very clean. Xiang'er is weak, so let him stay with you in the Xin'an Hou Mansion for a few days. "

"It's not appropriate for the Marquis of Pingyang to live with a minister."

"If I say it's appropriate, it's appropriate."

Princess Pingyang is so tough, so Zhang Yuan really understands that he is a sweet potato now.

After a while, Cao Xiang, Marquis of Pingyang, the young master who had not yet grown up, came out from the back hall.

"Marquis of Xin'an."

"Let's go."

Cao Xiang has been trained by Princess Pingyang to look like the head of the family.

Looking at the smile on Princess Pingyang's face, Zhang Yuan estimated that Princess Pingyang would not choose to remarry before Cao Xiang grew up.

But if Liu Che or Wang Zhi had to marry Princess Pingyang, there was nothing she could do.

The most ruthless emperor's family, even the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty can't control her own destiny.

If Princess Pingyang can marry Wei Qing in the future, it will be her luck, because Wei Qing has a long life span.

If you have been married to some short-lived husbands, it is basically impossible to stabilize.

After leaving the gate of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Cao Xiang, who had been tense all the time, relaxed. He still didn't know that the big man had a group of people hiding in the shadows who would monitor these high-ranking and powerful people, such as Zhang Yuan.

"Uncle Yuan, my mother won't let me call you that, she said that I will call you Marquis Xin'an or General Wei in the future."

"Your mother is right, but you can call me uncle when there is no one else."

"Why, since what she said is right, why can she still call you uncle."

"When there are many people, we have to abide by the rules. When there are no people, we can be ourselves."

Zhang Yuan didn't know if Cao Xiang understood, anyway, he thought so.

If you arrange the marriage, you can arrange it, master. Anyway, he is the boss in the Marquis of Xin'an Mansion. Regardless of whether she is a descendant of Xiao He, if Zhang Yuan really doesn't like it, just leave her alone, and no one dares to talk nonsense.
