Wei and Jin cooks

The people of Zhao Hanzhang now live in the Zhao residence. Ji Yuan, Xun Xiu, Mi Ce and others all live here, because Zhao Zhongyu and others still live in the palace.

But that was a last resort in a critical moment, and now it was naturally difficult for them to stay in the palace any longer, so early in the morning, the entrance to the palace became lively. It was Zhao Zhongyu and his family who had returned.

Zhao Hanzhang hugged the quilt and turned it over. Half of the quilt fell to the ground. She tried to open her eyelids and found that her eyelids were too heavy. She followed her will and continued to close her eyes. She was about to fall asleep again...

Tinghe opened the door and came in, "Girl, Madam, they are back."

Zhao Hanzhang slowly opened his eyes, "Where is my uncle?"

"The second old master seems to have been left in the palace."

Only then did Zhao Hanzhang get up. She sat on the bed with her arms supported and meditated. After a moment, she raised her lips and smiled, "Let Xun Xiu and the others go out to live. There are so many empty houses in the city. As long as they are ownerless, they can occupy them as long as they want, but they are not allowed to destroy them." house."

Listen to the load and respond.

After Xun Xiu and others heard the order, they immediately left Zhao's house and began to wander around the capital occupying houses.

He wanted to do this yesterday, but Zhao Hanzhang strictly ordered them not to seize the house, so he endured it. In the end, he secretly took Zhao Erlang all over the capital to search for property, but he only dared to take things and did not dare to occupy the house. Come down.

Zhao Hanzhang was relieved today. He knew where the house was, so he took his people to occupy it.

After Zhao Hanzhang finished washing, she took a look at the clothes Ting He took out. She shook her head and said, "Bring me the armor. I will enter the palace later."

"yes."

"Where are Tinghan and Erlang?"

"The eldest man has already woken up and had breakfast. He is discussing something with Mr. Ji. The second man is not awake yet."

"Tell Tinghan and Mr. Ji that we will enter the palace together later."

"yes."

Zhao Hanzhang has not met Zhao Ji's family. As long as she doesn't want to, they really can't see her when there are many soldiers in Zhao's house.

She took Fu Tinghan and Ji Yuan into the palace without saying hello, and specially stayed with Ting He: "Keep an eye on Erlang's yard. Since he's not awake, let him continue to sleep. Don't let other people disturb him."

Tinghe bowed and said, "Yes."

When she entered the palace, the ministers were quarreling about the emperor's move of the capital. In comparison, Zhao Hanzhang's request for merit was easily passed.

Because the official positions she hired for her officers were all under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou. To be honest, Zhao Hanzhang could have appointed himself to these official positions even without the emperor's reward. Applying for merit only made them more legitimate.

There is no more reward.

Even for Zhao Hanzhang, the biggest hero, the emperor could not give him anything other than titles and land. The treasury was empty. Now even the food for the palace was provided by Fu Zhi and others.

Yes, the emperor was so poor.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang appeared with Ji Yuan and Fu Tinghan, the hall fell silent.

Zhao Hanzhang said politely: "You continue, I'm just here to listen and ask how the discussion went on yesterday."

The emperor immediately said: "There is nothing wrong with your statement. I have already approved it."

When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he became happy and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

So everyone was silent for a while and then continued to discuss the matter of moving the capital. After one night, more and more ministers wanted to stay in Luoyang, which neither the emperor nor Gou Xi expected.

After thinking about it, Gou Xi knew that they were reluctant to part with their property in Luoyang and were unwilling to go to Yuncheng to start over. She was so angry that she slapped the table, pointed at them and cursed: "The reason why Luoyang and His Majesty were in danger twice was all because of your profit-seeking interests." , caused by indecision.”

He said: "Luoyang has no soldiers and no power. Can Luoyang be defended by only the few thousand people left? Can it defend Your Majesty?"

Fu Zhi said: "Your Majesty can make General Gou a Taiwei and Sima, and order General Gou to guard Luoyang."

Gou Xi knew that he had bad intentions, and was so angry that his beard almost flew up, "You are only dreaming!"

Luoyang is now a deserted city!

His soldiers came here without food or drink, and needed Yanzhou to support them with food and grass, but he had Yuzhou behind him, Yuzhou!

The lack of food and grass means that Zhao Hanzhang can cut off his connection with Yanzhou at any time if he wants to, and close the door and beat the dogs. His life is completely in Zhao Hanzhang's hands.

Unless... Yuzhou belongs to him.

Gou Xi's eyes were heavy. At this moment, he finally realized the importance of Yuzhou. Yanzhou was very important, connecting the east and west, but Yuzhou was equally important. It connected Luoyang and Bingzhou to the top, and connected Jingzhou to the bottom, connecting the north and the south.

If both Yuzhou and Yanzhou are in his hands...

Gou Xi looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang also raised his eyelids and looked at Gou Xi with a slight smile. She turned to look at the emperor above and said, "Your Majesty, I have another unkind request."

The emperor was having a headache from the noise and wanted to divert everyone's attention, so he hurriedly asked: "General Zhao, please speak."

"I would like to recommend someone to be the magistrate of Luoyang County."

The emperor's heart moved. Fu Zhi had told him about this. Speaking of it, this was one of the conditions for Zhao Hanzhang to give in to Gou Xi.

He only paused for a moment and then said: "Who does General Zhao recommend?"

"Zhao Kuan from Xiping, Runan," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile, "this man has the talent for governance and a kind and gentle nature. Now that Luoyang is full of waste and waiting for prosperity, it needs such a kind and kind magistrate. I think there is no one like him." He is more suitable."

Fu Yi sighed. This was what he had promised Zhao Hanzhang. Even if he regretted it, he could not say anything against it at this time.

At this time, he couldn't tell whether the emperor relied on Zhao Hanzhang or Gou Xi.

Today's court meeting ended in a quarrel again, but many things do not need to be decided at the court meeting. The bigger game comes from below.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, Fu Zhi went to the emperor and advised him earnestly: "Your Majesty, Gou Xi has changed. If you leave with him, I am worried that he will be the next King of East China Sea."

The emperor asked with a sad face: "Do I have any other choice? Stay in Luoyang. Once the Xiongnu goes south, can we hold Luoyang?"

"Yuzhou is controlled by Zhao Hanzhang, Gou Xi will not risk handing over his back to her, so he will not come to Luoyang, and Zhao Hanzhang," the emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In my opinion, she is the most disloyal to the emperor. Although she is respectful in everything and has a humble attitude, look at the things she has done since she became famous two years ago, which one of them really puts me, the emperor, in her heart?"

Fu Zhi was silent.

The emperor sighed: "Of course I know that Gou Xi is different from before, but the two powers are harming each other, so I have no choice but to choose the lesser."

Fu Zhi instantly seemed to have aged ten years.

The emperor also looked at him sadly, and the emperor and his ministers couldn't help but look at each other and shed tears.

After a long while, the emperor smiled and said: "Actually, I still have something to entrust to Zhongshu."

When Fu Zhi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

The emperor said: "Gou Xi has a saying that is absolutely right. I have no soldiers and no power, and it is difficult for me to be independent. That's why I want you to go to Chang'an."

"Going to Chang'an to recruit troops?"

The emperor nodded and whispered: "There is no need to come back in a hurry. Chang'an is as important as Luoyang. King Nanyang has no ability to govern. He enjoys such a good place but cannot treat him well. Zhongshu can take his place."

In the future, that will also be a retreat for him and Da Jin.
