Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 279 Zhang Budo!challenge them!

When Zhang Wuxuan rode a tall horse and walked into Chang'an City with the accompanying soldiers, the soldiers here did not dare to stop him.

In the face of the rumored new third prince, Chang'an upstart, the Chengmen Colonel immediately went to pay homage to see him.

Zhang Budo glanced at him and asked displeasedly, "I brought someone here, why didn't I check?!"

"How can Duke Zhang dare to interrogate him?"

"Your Majesty asked you to be stationed in Chang'an, just to ask you to check the people who come and go! If you don't dare to perform your duties because of fear, then what face do you have to stand here?!"

The captain of Chengmen secretly cursed in his heart, but he hurriedly apologized, causing Zhang Budo to be interrogated. During the interrogation, Zhang Budo had completely entered the identity of the third public, and he could not extricate himself, nor did he Forgot to wake up the "incompetent" city gate captain, and said slowly: "In the future, no matter who enters or leaves, they must be checked, except for Your Majesty, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter and leave at will!"

"Even if the late emperor wants to enter and exit, he has to check!"

"Emperor??"

Chengmen Colonel was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Zhang Gong is joking, how can Emperor Gao still enter and leave Chang'an?"

"I'm talking about the late emperor in Xuanshi Hall!"

"Ah?? Why did His Majesty abdicate?"

"What?! Don't you look down on my majesty?!"

"Don't dare!!"

The captain of the city gate lowered his head, his face pale.

Zhang Budo said proudly: "There are no two days in the sky, no two kings in the people, no two kings in the country, and no two in the family. From today onwards, anyone who dares to speak to my majesty will be executed!" If Liu Chang opened his mouth It is Lao Huanjun, that Zhang Budo opened his mouth to be a traitor. Since ancient times, Huanjun must have a few villains to assist him, and Zhang Budo is more than enough for this kind of identity.

When the new third prince walked into Chang'an, the captain of the city gate wiped his sweat, and said to the left and right unhappy: "It's a real minister!!"

When Zhang Budo came to the palace, his face had already changed, he was no longer the arrogant look he used to be.

"His Majesty!"

After following the attendant to the Hall of Houde, Zhang Budo couldn't wait to meet him.

Liu Chang was sitting with Liu Ying and talking about something at the moment. When Zhang Budo called him this, Liu Chang's eyes were full of helplessness, and he looked at Liu Ying who was beside him, "What are you screaming?! Your Majesty is here!"

Zhang Budo didn't get up, but kept the posture of seeing Liu Chang.

Liu Ying looked at him in surprise, not angry, smiled and asked, "Is this the eldest son of the Liuhou family?"

"Yeah. Second brother, this fellow is just talking nonsense on weekdays."

"It's okay, you have already rebelled, you deserve to be called Your Majesty."

Liu Chang then glared at Zhang Budo and scolded, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Get over here!"

Zhang Budo sat next to Liu Chang with a smile, and said excitedly, "Your Majesty! I'm the third prince!"

"This is the order from the widow, do you still need to tell the widow?!"

Zhang Budo looked very excited, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, the smile on his face, this was normal, after all, his father had never been the third prince, he became the third prince, the third prince is the best of all officials First, the emperor's right and left hand, especially the doctor of the censor, many people mistakenly think that the doctor of the censor is just a supervisor. In fact, the doctor of the censor has great powers and is basically a reserve for the prime minister. That is the position that many people dream of getting. what.

Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for the lack of contact now, and the courtiers were not very obedient, the position of the doctor of the censor really wouldn't be in the position of Zhang Budo.

"Okay, stop laughing, how ugly it is, save some face for Liuhou!"

Liu Chang looked at Zhang Budo who was overwhelmed with disgust, "Why did you come back so quickly?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty is entrusting him with important appointments, how dare I come late?"

At this moment, the anti-thief has achieved his goal in life, no matter how Liu Chang scolded him, he was always smiling.

"Okay, sit down for a while, and I'll tell you later!"

Liu Chang said, and continued to chat with Liu Ying. Soon, someone came up with the food. Zhang Budo was a little surprised. The food brought by the attendant was only two bowls of millet, and there were some wild vegetables on it. He looked at the Su in front of him blankly, looking over and over again, "eldest brother, what does this mean?"

"You said you wanted to invite me to dinner, but I haven't eaten for a long time."

Liu Ying looked at Liu Chang, and it took a lot of trouble, so you will invite me to eat this?

However, Liu Chang picked up his rice bowl and didn't answer, just ate.

Liu Ying hesitated for a moment and took a few bites.

"Your Majesty is simple! Lead by example! Diligence and frugality are so far! It's really touching! My ministers."

Zhang Budo rubbed his eyes and "crying" moved.

Liu Chang glared at him, "Stop farting! If you keep doing this, the widow will let Luan Bu be the censor!"

Zhang Budo immediately lowered his head and stopped flattering.

"Brother, when I went out before, I met a few farmers. When I talked to them, I talked about the title. They were very happy and said that when I let them eat today, it must be because the tax is too low, so The emperor is helpless to sell the title, this is what the people asked me to bring to you. I'm afraid you will be hungry!"

Liu Ying widened her eyes, "But you did it all."

"Yeah, so the two of us eat together, and we also have your share. Do you want to eat?"

Liu Ying lowered her head, looked at the millet in her hand, and immediately began to gulp.

Liu Chang wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Second brother, the common people in this world have a lot of respect for the Son of Heaven. As a holy monarch, I see, just go on like this, and when you die, you can have a good life. I will do the posthumous title, how unfair it is for you to take the credit?"

There were not many grains, and Liu Ying quickly ate it all.

He smiled very happily. The taste of this meal was so sweet that it was more fragrant than wine and meat. He also wiped his mouth casually like Liu Chang, ignoring Liu Chang's complaints, and said with a grin: " How can this be unfair? You are not doing it, the most unfair is Chen Hou, he will do it, and it will be his back when something goes wrong."

"No way, it has always been a widow who is diligent and diligent."

"Hahaha, eldest brother, it doesn't matter. The people of the world live well. This is the most important thing. Although I haven't accomplished anything, maybe seeing the people so wealthy, I will get my wish!"

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, as if something heavy fell from his body, he just felt extremely relaxed.

Liu Chang patted Liu Ying on the shoulder, "Second brother, it will get better and better. If you are upset in the palace, go around. As long as you don't bring me a few sister-in-law every time you go there. Come back, that's fine!"

Liu Ying knew that Chang Liu still had important things to do, so she didn't bother. Just when she walked to the door, Liu Ying suddenly stern face and scolded loudly: "You just humiliate me like this?! Just wait!!" , After roaring, Liu Ying left angrily.

Zhang Budo was stunned at the moment, "How dare he."

Zhang Budo jumped up abruptly, but Liu Chang grabbed him and pressed him firmly beside him.

"This is what I told you to stop jumping!"

Liu Chang wrapped his arms around Zhang Budo's neck and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to be the third master?"

"Because of my talent!"

"Oh, you are so confident!"

"In order to monitor Baiguan?"

"It's not what you see. Today's temples are lifeless and too heavy, and you have a personality that can't sit still. I asked you to be the third prince, just to let you drive the rest of the ministers and keep them busy. You understand me do you mean?"

"Then what exactly should I do?"

"To provoke those ministers, to ridicule them, to mock them, to make them hate you and hate you"

Zhang Budo was still a little confused, "Your Majesty, why do you have to get along with the ministers? If you think the ministers are old, why not change another batch?"

"It's easier for you to say a new batch. Who can replace them now? They are all enjoying themselves now. They don't do it if they can. They have no motivation at all. What the few want to do, they all want to discourage them. You have to make them move. , so that they can not feel at ease and enjoy happiness.”

When Liu Chang said this, Zhang Budo probably understood.

"I'm going to provoke them and make them restless?"

"Yes! Provoking them! You are the best at this kind of thing!"

"I see!"

Zhang Budo was suddenly full of self-confidence. He was quite accomplished in provoking others. Since it was ordered by the emperor, he had to do it with all his strength.

Liu Chang ordered him a few more words before waving his hand and letting him leave the palace.

After seeing off Zhang Budo, Liu Chang came to the other hall where Chen Ping and the others dealt with playing the table. Chen Ping sat in the upper seat and watched the subordinate officials busy. These young subordinate officials, whose average age was in their early twenties, They are very busy at the moment, constantly flipping through the playlist. After Chang Liu arrived, they still did not stop their work. After all, Chang Liu came here a lot, and they were all used to it.

Liu Chang sat next to Chen Ping, looked at those busy guys, and couldn't help but smile, these are all his future three princes and nine masters.

"Father Zhong, how is the situation in various places? Are the soldiers and officials still satisfied?"

"Since the king raised their salaries, there has been a lot less public grievances. Only a few people are still complaining. Most of the rest are no longer opposed.

"It's just that after restricting the title, Nasu's people are not as many as before."

"It doesn't matter, the matter of worship is just an expedient measure!"

"As long as we can survive this period, in the future, there will be no shortage of food for the big man. Although taxes are low, there will be more and more arable land."

"I have already instructed the captain to prepare to officially start military camps in the border area. After next year, food will not be a headache for the big man."

Apparently, Chang Liu was not the only way to sell his title. Selling his title was just for the transition and to support the expenses during this period.

Today's temples are divided into the inner court and the outer court. The inner court is an assistant officer, although the position is not very high, but it can help Liu Changlai to review the memorial table, and has great power, while the outer court is purely doing things, although it can also When discussing government affairs, it seems that the influence on decision-making is not as good as that of the Inner Dynasty.

The leaders of the outer dynasty were Zhou Chang and Zhang Cang, and the leader of the inner dynasty was Chen Ping. The three sides confronted each other, so that Chang Liu could enjoy himself with peace of mind.

Such confrontation did not cause chaos in government affairs, but rather a scene of vigor and competition.

Chen Ping glanced at Liu Chang, "It's just this food, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"Oh?"

"If Your Majesty insists on going out to fight, this food will be consumed very quickly."

"You don't need to save food for wars, are you waiting for others to grab it?"

Liu Chang said nonchalantly, "The Northern Army and Tang's army are all ready, just wait for the news from the Xiongnu, and then they can set off immediately."

Chen Ping has long been accustomed to this king, who has been ruthless, without the slightest surprise. "If the king wants to go out in person, he still has to choose someone to entrust the important affairs of the country."

"I already have a candidate!"

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven can't afford such an important task. Nowadays, there are many things implemented in temples, such as promoting the new characters written by your Majesty, holding imperial examinations, printing books, defending frontier military camps, recovering South Vietnam, and matters of salt and iron. The Son of Heaven can't handle it."

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Liu Chang was stunned, "Can't you do it, brother?"

"No."

"Then you come?"

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to have to deal with the performance."

Chen Ping shook his head, Liu Chang frowned, Chen Ping reminded: "Everything is the busiest and most important time, if the king can't find a qualified candidate, I'm afraid it will cause chaos and everything will go wrong. ."

"Humph! How can such a trivial matter be difficult for a widow?"

"A widow is a hero, this is just a trivial matter! The widow has its own arrangements!!"

Liu Chang replied proudly.

Chen Ping did not ask any further questions.

"Mum~~~~"

"What are you howling?!"

Empress Lu stared at the "Hero Lord" in front of her with displeasedness. Liu Chang's sudden voice made her so frightened that she almost threw the bamboo slips in her hands.

Chang Liu looked at her aggrieved, "I'm going out to fight, no one is watching domestic affairs!"

"so what?"

"Mom wants to help me!!"

Empress Lu looked at him with disgust in her eyes, "Didn't you say let me be at ease? How long has it been? Where is your usual ability?"

"It's not that the widow is incapable, it's that the ministers are incapable, and none of them can hold back."

"Ah"

Empress Lu snorted coldly, looked at Liu An who was snickering beside him, and said seriously, "Did you see it? You should take this as a warning, you can't learn from your father."

"I see!"

"What do you know? Go to your grandmother!"

Liu Chang shouted, but Liu An hid behind Empress Lu, muttering something in a low voice.

Empress Lu shook his head, "Where are you going to fight?"

"Wusun and Ji porridge."

"How long?"

"I don't know that Modun can no longer lead the troops. It shouldn't be too long."

"Well, you can go at ease, I will help you watch the affairs of the country."

"Thank you mum!"

Liu Chang smiled, and hurriedly sat beside Empress Lu, grinning slyly, and then rubbing his shoulders for her, "No need! Going to be busy with you!"

"Mother, I have nothing to do. I'll spend more time with you."

"I don't need you to accompany me out!"

"Oh"

Liu Chang left Changle Palace confidently again. This trivial matter can't trouble him at all. He is worthy of being the hero of a generation.

If everything is uncertain, he will find his mother, and with the queen mother in charge, even if Liu Chang goes out for two or three years, I am afraid that there will be no problems.

Soon, the latest news came from the Huns.

The Huns had already formed a group. Several sons of Modun went to war in an all-round way. Hutu and Dagu formed an alliance to attack the most powerful Jicong. The Jicong tribe was suddenly attacked and they were defeated. , and Lu Jia, who was beside Hutu, received very detailed news, including the position of the Xiongnu's current divisions, the position of war, and so on.

This news also made Han Xin feel that the time for expedition was finally ripe.

The big man is ready to go on an expedition. He wants to eliminate all the Ji Congee Department outside the North, preferably the Wusun Kingdom, which is closely related to Ji Conge. , along the road, the people are strong, and the food that has been accumulated with great difficulty cannot be kept.

On the other hand, Chang Liu came to the North Military Academy, and stayed with the soldiers all day. They had a close relationship. Tang's troops also went to the North and other places in batches to prepare for the expedition.

The vassal states also began to deliver food. In this battle, the vassal states did not need their assistance. The troops of the Northern Army and Tang State were enough, and the rest of the states could send some food.

While the big man was busy fighting, Zhang Budo was very comfortable.

He was enjoying the fun of being the third master, and he started to work in the censor's mansion. The censor was responsible for many things. Liu Jing talked to Zhang Wuxuan for four or five days, and Zhang Wuxuan barely understood a lot. Immediately, he again After meeting with his subordinate officials, Doctor Censor has a lot of subordinate officials, and at the same time, there are also many subordinate officials. Many old officials in the past have now become Zhang Budo's subordinates. Zhang Budo is so proud.

He finally realized this from the Dragon Power.

Just when Zhang Budo was proudly working in the imperial censor's mansion, Zhou Chang, the prime minister of the state, came here.

Zhou Chang is the minister who is most opposed to Zhang Budo's coming to serve as the censor. He brought everyone here because of rules. As the prime minister, he appeases the new colleagues and helps them solve their difficulties. This is also what the prime minister must do. , Zhou Chang, like Wang Ling, will not impose personal grievances on state affairs.

Zhou Chang leaned on crutches, looked at Zhang Budo in front of him, and said seriously: "Since you are the censor, then don't take on heavy responsibilities like before. You can't ignore it, it's for the king."

Zhou Chang preached long-windedly, this is also a procedure for new officials to take office.

But Zhang Budo, who was standing in front of him, was in a daze at the moment, just recalling the arrangement of the king, and he didn't listen to what Zhou Chang said.

To provoke them, to make them restless.

Zhang Budo pondered these words repeatedly.

"Do you know? Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Zhou Chang asked again.

provocative!provocative!
Zhang Budo suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhou Chang, and scolded, "Old dog!"

At that moment, Zhou Chang was stunned. Immediately, he became furious. He raised his crutches and slammed it hard on Zhang Budo's forehead.

Zhang Budo fell to the ground immediately.

Everyone in the Censor House was stunned.

What happened? ? ?

ps: In the morning, I was invited to a local school to teach online novels to students. I found a lot of readers, including many young people who want to write books. The development of online novels is getting faster and faster, and this profession is finally It is no longer "not doing a proper job", and the school leaders also support the students to create, which is very gratifying.
