Sending Dou Ying away, the Son of Heaven looked at the bamboo slips like a small mountain, his eyes flickering.In the nearly seventy-year history of the Han Dynasty, there are two interest groups that are the most headache for the royal family.One is the military merit group, that is, the founding fathers; One is the group of relatives, that is, the family of the queen mother or queen.In the beginning, the threat of the military merit group was the greatest, because they were not only old and scheming, but also had military power in their hands.Even when Emperor Gao Liu Bang was alive, he was also tolerant of the military merit group, as strong as Empress Lu, and he did not dare to take it lightly in the face of the overall strength of the military merit group, and the Lu family was finally overthrown by the military merit group with Zhou Bowei.Now, with the death of those old ministers, the military merit group has gradually declined.After all, the second and third generations of capable military merit like Zhou Yafu are a minority, and the vast majority of the children of the military merit group have not been able to keep the glory of their fathers and ancestors, and their influence on the army has disappeared.Compared with the military merit group, the threat of the foreign relatives group is much smaller, because they have no military power in their hands, and they can only rely on the imperial power.Empress Lü is an exception, because the Lü family is not only a relative, but also a part of the military merit group, and Lü Hou's brothers Lü Ze and Lü Shizhi are both senior generals in the army.The Bo family after Empress Lu did not have the prestige of the Lu family, and the same was true of the Dou family.But because of the longevity of the Empress Dowager Dou family, the strength of the Dou family is much stronger than that of the Bo family.Dou Ying himself has military merits, and he also has considerable influence in the army.The depreciation of Dou Ying is certainly related to the Queen Mother's suppression of the Dou family, and it is not unrelated to the inner worries of the Son of Heaven.Therefore, the Son of Heaven did not let old ministers like Dou Ying participate in the Northern Expedition.Now that Dou Ying is participating in the planning of the Southern Expedition, he is only using his experience, and he does not have the idea of really commanding the army.But Dou Ying was obviously not satisfied with this, he used this opportunity to reunite the Dou clan and the Chen clan around him, which made the Son of Heaven unable but to raise his vigilance.However, seeing this pile of bamboo slips, the Son of Heaven can't simply depreciate it.The success of the Northern Expedition made the Son of Heaven realize how important it was to have adequate intelligence preparation before the war.If it weren't for Liang Xiao's proposal to map the Xiongnu terrain, the Battle of Henan would not have gone so smoothly, and the Son of Heaven's original counterattack strategy was not this at all.The difficulties of the southern expedition are not small, if the preparations are not done carefully.It is likely to repeat the mistakes of the Qin army.Preparations must be made, but how to do the Dou family has a large number of children and a lot of influence, if they are rejected.It is tantamount to keeping this group of people out of the door, which is bound to cause a backlash.If it is not controlled, these people will inevitably cause the tail to fall off when they re-enter the court."
What do you think," the Son of Heaven set his eyes on King Wuqiu Shou and Xu Le.Especially Xu Le, he is one of Dou Ying's assistants.Xu Le felt the gaze of the Son of Heaven.After a little thought, he bowed slightly."
Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is available."
The Son of Heaven stared at Xu Le and did not speak."
On the orders of His Majesty, I cooperated with Wei Qihou to prepare relevant information, and it was hard work to haunt Hu City these days.However, among these materials, the minister's efforts were no more than eleven.If there is no co-ordination by Wei Qihou and no assistance from the youth, the minister will be given another half a year.It may not be possible to achieve such results.This is still in Chang'an, if you travel to South Vietnam, field investigations, the minister estimates, it is impossible to really gain anything without ten years. ”The Son of Heaven's eyes flickered."
As the saying goes, nothing is wrong.These teenagers do not worry about food and clothing, and their careers are hopeless, they gather on the streets, fight and brawl, and Chang'an is difficult to treat.They are one of the factors.Rather than that, let them travel around.In this way, they not only did things for the imperial court, but also distracted them.Kill two birds with one stone. ”The Son of Heaven looked at Han Yan and King Wuqiu Shou again.The two nodded in agreement."
The ministers also thought it was very good."
The Son of Heaven smiled."
Well, the court can prevent them from being officials, but it can't prevent them from doing things.Since they are uncomfortable, find something for them to do.If everyone is like the Chen brothers, it will not be a good thing. ”The Son of Heaven said, picking up a roll of bamboo slips.I flipped it in my hand."
Let's go, go to Changle Palace."
The Queen Mother looked at the uninvited Son of Heaven and was very surprised.Under normal circumstances, in addition to daily greetings, the Son of Heaven rarely comes to Changle Palace, even if she sends an edict to let him come, he usually pushes back and pushes back, saying that there are many government affairs, and it drags on for a long time, and he sits for a while and leaves after reluctantly coming.Nowadays, it is rare to take the initiative to come to the door."
What is this?"
the Son of Heaven pushed the bamboo slip in front of the Queen Mother."
Wei Qihou's recent exploits."
The queen mother was suspicious, opened the bamboo slip, and read a few lines."
What is this, the prime minister can also do.""
Yes," the Son of Heaven smiled meaningfully."
This is not his credit alone, and nearly 100 children of the Dou family are assisting from the side."
The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and her face sank."
What does the Son of Heaven want to say" "Queen Mother, Wei Qihou is just a middle doctor, but he can go all out to share the worries of the imperial court.The prime minister is a hundred officials, if he can't make some achievements, how can the face of the court exist, and what can the face of the queen mother exist" The queen mother snorted, but she couldn't refute it.The words of the Son of Heaven sounded high-sounding, and she couldn't find a reason to refute them.But she also knows that in terms of ability, Tian Wei is definitely not as good as Dou Ying.In terms of strength, the children of the Tian family and the Wang family cannot be compared with the Dou family, and the two sides are not on the same level at all."
What do you want?"
"Let the children of the Wang family and the Tian family also do something serious." ”The Son of Heaven patted the bamboo slips."
Even if the results are not as good, at least let people see the attitude.When the children of the Dou clan can't do their jobs, they are making trouble on the streets.I heard that my cousins have been very domineering recently, and my nephew, is it a little excessive" The Queen Mother said angrily: "Who is this who is idle, chewing the root of his tongue in front of the Son of Heaven, slandering my family's children, what are they trying to do, are they trying to be unfavorable to me" "Queen Mother, is it not, I know very well. ”The Son of Heaven stood up and waved his sleeves."
I won't say anything else, I hope that a few uncles can also do something practical in addition to the banquet.If one day, they can also come up with such a pair of sparseness, it will also be the queen mother's face is shining, right" After speaking, the Son of Heaven turned around and left.When he reached the door of the temple, he stopped again."
By the way, there is one thing I forgot to mention, the two brothers of the queen have created new swords, and the imperial court is preparing to use their technology to update the reserves of the arsenal, hoping that the queen mother will come forward to discuss it with her aunt.In addition, the two ladies beside the queen are pregnant, and the queen mother also takes more care of them.If you can give birth to one or two princes, it will also be a blessing for the court. ”After speaking, the Son of Heaven crooked his mouth and walked away.The queen mother was so angry that her face turned pale, swept the bamboo slips on the case to the ground, and scolded.But after scolding for a while, she felt very frustrated.Dou Ying recovered, the queen's sisters had children, the Dou family and the Chen family attacked back and forth, and the situation was very unfavorable to the Wang family.Could it be that she, the queen mother, has been pressed by the queen mother for so many years, and she hasn't taken a few breaths, and she has to be ordered by the queen mother instead of the queen mother to summon Gaihou Wang Xin, Zhouyang Hou Tiansheng, and Wu'an Hou Tianwei into the palace to discuss together.The queen mother was full of emotion, asking them to restrain their children, do something serious, and must not let the Dou family and the Chen family overpower the limelight.Wang Xin and the others trembled and nodded in agreement.The queen mother also asked her to summon her eldest daughter, Princess Yang Nobunaga, into the palace and asked her to offer some more good-looking women to the palace.Wei Zifu successfully got the favor of the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately he was unlucky and gave birth to two daughters in a row.In order to overpower the queen, it is necessary to find some women who can give birth to enter the palace as soon as possible.At the same time, the queen mother reminded Princess Yang Nobunaga that the reason why the Chen family was able to make this strange move was not only because she was good at this way with Princess Tao of the Pavilion, but also had a lot to do with Princess Liu Ling of Huainan.You have to put some effort into building a good relationship with Liu Ling, and don't let her only work for the princess of the pavilion Tao.Princess Yang Nobunaga understood and took the order away.Knowing the movement of Changle Palace, the Son of Heaven laughed.Han said that he took a few rangers, day and night, and caught up with Liang Xiao in Yingchuan.Liang Xiao was staying at Guan's house, and was very surprised to learn that there were rangers from the capital chasing him.He is very famous in Chang'an, but in addition to a few childhood friends he found, the only real guest is Pang Shuo, who was recommended by Qin Ge.Many people came to the door to recommend themselves, but he refused.However, when he heard Han say this name, he still understood the reason.Han said that it was Han Yan's younger brother, and he came all the way to the door, not as simple as being a guest.Those rangers didn't come to follow him, but to follow what Han said.Liang Xiao asked Han Shuo to come in.Han said that he was very young, that is, seventeen or eighteen years old, his appearance was somewhat similar to Han Yan, and he had enough capital to eat soft rice.In the next generation, he is also a boy like flowers.Some people in history also say that Han Shuo, like Han Yan, is the favorite of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid it's not unreasonable."
You come to me" Liang Xiao looked at Han and smiled."
You should know that I don't accept customers.""
That's because they're not good enough."
Han said that he was full of confidence."
Why don't you take a look at my skills and say" Liang Xiao thought about it and nodded in agreement.I have to say that if you don't consider the fact that Han said it was Han Yan's younger brother, Han said that he was indeed a likable sunny boy.Historically, he was later made a marquis with military merits, and the biggest stain may be that he was mixed with Jiang Chong and was killed by the crown prince Liu Ju."
Okay, let's see."
Liang Xiao turned around and gave Xia a look.Thea answered, walked down the steps, and got on her horse."
What do you want to compare, riding and shooting or spear halberd" Han Shuo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised."
You" then shook his head again."
I don't compete with women.""
She is not an ordinary woman, she is the legendary Amazon female warrior of the Western Regions."
Liang Xiao smiled."
I see that you are as beautiful as a woman, and if you can overcome her, I will take you as a guest.Otherwise, you should be honest and subordinate.yznn:
