Straight man of steel

Chapter 296 Transformation
"Since none of you gentlemen is willing to cure the disaster, then this matter is over.

The money and food donated by the Marquis of Pingyang, Taipu, Taixueling, and Yushi doctor were all sent to the disaster area by Danongling.

In addition, tens of thousands of dollars and one million shi of grain were transferred from the inner treasury to the sixteen counties in the east. "

Liu Che gritted his teeth and said these words, but everyone knew in their hearts that although the money and food seemed to be a lot, if they were really distributed to millions of people, they would definitely not last for half a month, or even ten years. Days are enough.

This is still the best plan, Zhang Yuan thought in his heart, after layer upon layer of exploitation, one-fifth could be left for the people in the disaster area in the end.

"Next court."

Wang Sui next to Liu Che had already been replaced by an eunuch whom Zhang Yuan didn't know, but Zhang Yuan didn't care.

As time went by, all the people in the palace except the emperor and the emperor's sons would probably be replaced by eunuchs, but he didn't know where Wang Sui was transferred to, and Zhang Yuan didn't see any trace of him in the hall.

After the court meeting, Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing were not in a good mood, and even Cao Xiang, who was on the side, was not in a good mood.

This half-child doesn't know what happened above the hall just now.

All he knew was that his uncle seemed to have forgotten him, but if he forgot, he forgot, and Wei Qing was playing with him.

Zhang Yuan saw that Wei Qing was still amused with Cao Xiang, and found that Wei Qing was just giving it a try, and he didn't have much confidence in changing Liu Che's mind today.

The same is true for Princess Pingyang. Even if there is no change, the money and food will still be donated. It is better to let Zhang Yuan see the cruelty of reality.

"Young brother, tell the truth, do you never think that you will succeed at all?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the smiling Wei Qing, and still asked what was in his heart, he couldn't be coaxed by his brother who knew him like Cao Xiang.

"There are some things. To be honest, I also have a little luck. Now it seems that His Majesty is no longer the same Majesty. Whether it is the prime minister, us or others, His Majesty will not deal with anyone just because there is a gap between him and his subjects. Who is it to win over.

His Majesty only supports the choice that is beneficial to him. The Prime Minister basically didn't say much in the hall today, but his theory of destiny is beneficial to His Majesty. Will support him too.

Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang once said to me yesterday that there is only one person in this world who can go against His Majesty's wishes and change His Majesty's wishes, and that is the Empress Dowager.

The rest, whether it's Brother Yuan, you or me, or the queen or Mrs. Wei, or the prime minister Yu Shi, it is impossible to change His Majesty's mind. "

Although Wei Qing spoke with a smile on his face, his tone was extremely confused. He didn't know whether it was good or bad.

In the past, it seemed that it was just a struggle between Liu Che and Tian Fu, a struggle for power between the emperor and the prime minister.

But I don't know when it started, this kind of fighting has not ended for Liu Che.

Zhang Yuan thought about it, he seemed not worthy of being Tian Fu's opponent at all, why did Tian Fu suddenly think of killing himself, an idler without official or job, last time, you must know that he was just a doctor of engineering at that time , although he has mastered papermaking and printing, these two technologies must belong to Princess Pingyang after his death.

You said you were dead, the official position was vacated and Tian Fu's own people took over?It's just a doctor of engineering. Maybe Zhang Yuan's official position will disappear after his death.

Dahan is actually a time to improve various systems in China, including the official system.

He can get an imperial order worth two thousand stones, let alone a doctorate. If Tian Fu is willing, Liu Che can arrange all his people to become doctors, but he is afraid that Tian Fu is not willing.

Now Wei Qing's words suddenly cleared the fog in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

Liu Che was no longer the little emperor who had only been on the throne for a few years. Tian Fu also realized that he could not win the emperor at all, so he looked for some easy opponents to deal with.

Liu Che also has this understanding. No matter how much Tian Fu fights, he is still his uncle, and the emperor of this big man will still be Liu Che no matter what happens between the two of them.

Because the Queen Mother has only one son, if someone else surnamed Liu becomes the emperor, I don't know how miserable Tian Fu's end will be.

"Thank you, brother, for your heartfelt words today, I will definitely pay more attention in the future."

Wei Qing just nodded, he felt that even if he didn't say anything, Zhang Yuan should be able to understand the situation in front of him.

Zhang Yuan knew that Liu Che would be so domineering in the end that he would not recognize anyone, but he felt that it would happen after the death of the Queen Mother, because at that time Liu Che's power would reach its peak.

In the history books, Liu Che's control of power is divided into several stages.

At the very beginning, during the time when Queen Mother Dou was still alive, Liu Che was actually a puppet-like existence, basically daring not to disobey Queen Mother Dou.

Then, after the death of Empress Dowager Dou, Tian Fu was made prime minister, and Liu Che began to fight for power with his uncle again, but because he was concerned about his mother, Liu Che kept enduring Tian Fu.

Then, after Tian Fu's death, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty basically had no power, not even comparable to Jiuqing, and no one inside or outside the court dared to disobey Liu Che's intentions.

In the end, the Queen Mother died. At this time, not only the opinions inside and outside the court were unified, but there were no other voices in the palace.

Zhang Yuan wondered if Tian Fu could carry on for another year or so, but he didn't expect that the handover of power had already begun.

It's just that no one has solved the flood in the sixteen counties in the east. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan wished he could go back to Du County or even Lantian Mountain.

"Uncle Wei Qing, this uncle doesn't look too good-looking, is he sick?"

Cao Xiang had already ridden on Wei Qing's neck when Zhang Yuan was in awe. Seeing Zhang Yuan's sullen expression, she asked Wei Qing with a smile.

"This uncle is fine, he's just obsessed with thinking about things."

Wei Qing shook Cao Xiang on his shoulders, making him laugh several times.

Hearing these two words, Zhang Yuan's depression dissipated a lot. This child is weak and sickly, and there must be more uncomfortable places than himself, but he doesn't have so many troubles, and he can laugh with a big belly.

Such a child is not very solid, so naturally he has no playmates. It can be seen that Cao Xiang still has a sense of dependence on Wei Qing.

"Yes, what Uncle Wei Qing said is, Uncle, I am just obsessed with thinking about things."

"That's good. If you're not happy, come to Pingyang Hou to play with me. I will make uncle happy."
