Wei and Jin cooks

Zeng Yue brought back news from outside the city west, "Wang Mi's 30,000-strong army was stopped outside the city gate by General Beigong, General Xun and General Mi, but..."

He raised his head and glanced at the emperor sitting at the top.

Zhao Hanzhang asked nonchalantly: "But what?"

As for the military report, what if the emperor knew about it?

Zeng Yue said: "Girl, Yanzhou Gou Xi is also here, and he is also in the western suburbs at this time."

Zhao Hanzhang's temples twitched. She retracted her previous thoughts. The emperor knew what could be done. Not only the emperor, but also the ministers and princes in the room all pricked up their ears and looked at Zeng Yue with bright eyes.

Then he went to see Zhao Hanzhang quietly.

She said "Oh" without changing her expression, and then asked: "Have you met Liu Cong?"

"Yes, so there was a chaotic fighting outside the city last night. It's over now. Liu Cong and Liu Yao have both escaped. Now there are only Gou Xi's army and Wang Mi's army outside the city."

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer until the fire is out, and welcome General Gou into the city."

"yes."

Zeng Yue raised his head and glanced at her, bowed and retreated.

Ji Yuan also saw it. He thought for a while and said: "Look at the intensity of the fire. It cannot burn the palace. It is too close to the city gate. It is noisy and dangerous. If you don't ask your majesty to move to the main hall, everyone will be tired." It’s time to rest for a few days.”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded, "That's fine."

She turned to look at the emperor and said gently: "Your Majesty, please move."

The emperor agreed after some thought and invited Zhao Hanzhang to come with him.

On the way, he expressed his appreciation for Gou Xi. He didn't know that Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi were at odds. He only knew that they worked together to resist the King of Donghai last year, so he thought they had a good relationship.

So he said: "General Gou cares deeply about his country and is loyal to the emperor. I also ask General Zhao to invite him to the capital as soon as possible."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed, sent the emperor to the main hall, bowed and retired.

There were many ministers standing outside, facing the morning light. When Zhao Hanzhang came out of the palace, a ray of orange morning light shone on her, making her whole body look softer.

No one dared to speak to Zhao Hanzhang until this moment, "General Zhao, there is a food shortage in Luoyang. Most of the people in the city have been taken away by King Donghai. Now there are only ten houses and nine empty houses. It is not safe for Your Majesty to stay here. General, have you ever thought about where to move the capital?" Where?"

Moving the capital was a key point in the struggle between the emperor and the King of Donghai in the past two years, and it was also a key point in the struggle between the courtiers. The person most capable of deciding where to move the capital at the moment was Zhao Hanzhang, who had just saved the emperor and them.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "This matter is of great importance, so it is natural that your Majesty and all the ministers should discuss it together. Hanzhang has little knowledge, how can he think about such a major matter for the family and the country?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

One of the young men thought for a while, took two steps forward, saluted and asked: "General Zhao, there is a rumor that the East China Sea King's army was defeated by Shi Le and the East China Sea King passed away. I don't know whether this is true or not."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "It's true."

The young man looked solemn and asked, "What about the 300,000 soldiers and civilians who followed the King of East China Sea?"

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said nothing.

When the young man saw this, his eyes turned red, and all the courtiers began to mourn. Among them were their relatives and friends, not to mention, there were 300,000 people, a total of 300,000 people.

The young man shook his body, cupped his hands, and turned around to leave.

Zhao Hanzhang felt that he looked familiar, so he couldn't help but ask the courtier, "Who is this..."

The courtier next to her introduced her, "That's Wang Xing, the second son of Wang Rong."

The person who introduced him had some disdain on his face and didn't want to talk too much about this person.

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Xing who was leaving. His back was straight and his eyes were clear when he asked the question. She thought about it carefully and found that he was among the people who killed Wang Mi's soldiers this morning.

He is obviously a good and capable young man, why do you disdain him?

Zhao Zhongyu and Fu Zhi, who were left behind to whisper, also came out of the hall.

The King of East China Sea took away many ministers. Even the princes like Wang Yan ran away with the King of East China Sea. There were only a few court officials left behind. Among them, the highest-ranking officials were Fu Zhi and Zhao Zhongyu.

Judging from the emperor's degree of reliance, Fu Zhi should be the leader, but at this moment, everyone valued Zhao Zhongyu more. When they saw the two coming out, they also bowed to Zhao Zhongyu first, and then faced Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhi didn't care and just looked at Fu Tinghan, "Dalang, you can follow your grandfather to take a look at the fire."

Fu Tinghan glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and nodded in agreement.

Fu Zhi nodded to Zhao Hanzhang and took Fu Tinghan away.

Zhao Hanzhang saluted and watched the two of them go away.

Zhao Zhongyu stood aside and waited for her to look away, but when he saw that she kept looking at the person's back and refused to return to her senses, he coughed heavily.

Only then did Zhao Hanzhang look away, turned around and called Zhao Zhongyu, "Uncle."

Zhao Zhongyu nodded and said to her: "You are about to pay filial piety, and it's time to mention your marriage to the eldest son of the Fu family. They should be talking about your marriage."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled but did not respond.

Seeing that everyone was pricking up their ears to eavesdrop on their conversation, Zhao Zhongyu said, "Now that our family is temporarily staying in the palace, I will take you to meet your uncle and aunt."

Zhao Hanzhang glanced around at the courtiers, agreed with a smile, and left with Zhao Zhongyu after greeting everyone.

After they were far away, followed only by He Zengyue and a few personal guards, Zhao Zhongyu said: "Your Majesty just left us to talk because he wanted us to inquire about moving the capital with you."

He paused and said, "Also, what do you want?"

Zhao Hanzhang was not surprised by this. There were some things that it was hard for her to say clearly, and it was hard for the emperor to speak. It was the first time she and the emperor had cooperated, and they had not yet found the right balance. Naturally, there had to be a middleman to mediate.

There is no more suitable person than Zhao Zhongyu and Fu Zhi.

One is her great-uncle and clan leader, and the other is her future husband's grandfather.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Where does Your Majesty want to move the capital?"

Zhao Zhongyu said: "Chen County is very good."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly and asked: "Is this your Majesty's intention, or is it your uncle's intention?"

Zhao Zhongyu frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Hanzhang in confusion, "Is it not good for Your Majesty to move the capital to Chen County?"

He said: "What you have achieved today is unparalleled in the whole country. My Zhao family is the master of Yuzhou. If the capital is moved to Chen County..."

"Uncle," Zhao Hanzhang interrupted him and said, "I don't want to be the second King of East China Sea, let alone Cao Mengde."

Zhao Zhongyu looked at Zhao Hanzhang in surprise.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Your Majesty should discuss the matter of moving the capital with your ministers. As for me, tell Your Majesty that I want the entire Yuzhou and Luoyang area."

Zhao Zhongyu:...

He didn't know whether to say that Zhao Hanzhang was too ambitious or too ambitious.

You can tell that she is big. There is a great opportunity here, but she actually pushes it forward. Seeing how Wang Mi sacrificed his life just for a chance, you can see how rare this opportunity is;

You might call her young, but she brazenly said she wanted Yuzhou and Luoyang.

You must know that Yuzhou and Luoyang are among the best in the world, especially Luoyang. It is also surrounded by mountains and rivers. The palace of Jin is here. She wants Luoyang, which arouses suspicion.

But how can a Luoyang be as meaningful as an emperor?

Good night
