[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

The two chatted for nearly an afternoon, and Tao Qian didn't get up to leave until sunset.

Ling Han was about to send him out of the mansion, Tao Qian said: "His Royal Highness stay here. Your Highness is the king, and Tao is a minister, there is absolutely no reason for the king to send his ministers."

Ling Han said quickly: "Yang Zhen, see off your lord for me."

When stepping out of the gate of Caoyun Garden, Tao Qian secretly sighed.

Mi Zhu asked, "Why is your lord sighing?"

Tao Qian said: "I'm thinking, if the late emperor hadn't left early, with Changsha king as a young talent, when he succeeds, the great man will usher in another Qingming and prosperity, and the people will not have to endure so much suffering. "

Mi Zhu was speechless.

"I once heard that the eldest son of the first emperor was mediocre and incompetent. But these days, there are many cases that prove that this rumor is a complete lie." Tao Qian rarely showed a look of indignation on his face: "I don't know who are the little ones. People are ruining His Highness's reputation!"

"Probably because of the envy of others." Mi Zhu said: "Isn't it rumored that His Highness was not loved by the late emperor? If he hadn't been extremely favored, how could the late emperor have given him such a high-quality glazed bead?"

In the garden.

Yang Zhen replied: "Your Highness, they have gone far."

Ling Han nodded, sat down before returning to the desk, and continued to write.

Yang Zhen said again: "Your Highness, just now when you were talking with Mr. Tao, Mr. Mi inquired about something with me."

"what's up?"

Yang Zhendao: "He said, Your Highness is just at the age of youth, ask me, do you have someone in mind?"

Ling Han's writing hand paused slightly, and the word "salt" in his pen was immediately ruined.

He frowned and crossed out the word.

Yang Zhen continued: "Mr. Mi said that if he didn't have one, he has a younger sister who is pretty and handsome, and she is at a marriageable age."

"All right."

Ling Han thought in his heart, the ancient mate selection is really speechless, this body has just turned sixteen, and it is about to be introduced.

The marriageable age that Mi Zhu mentioned was probably just over fourteen...

He is very disgusted with the use of political marriage to tie the two parties together, which does not consider the wishes of the parties at all.

Although there is no way to change the concept of this era, you can still choose to refuse.

Ling Han said: "The next time you see Mr. Mi, tell him that the king has no plans to marry a wife yet."

Yang Zhen added: "What Mr. Mi means is that you don't have to be a wife, you can be a..."

Ling Han interrupted him: "You tell him directly that this king has made a solemn oath that he will not get close to women until the Han Dynasty is restored."

This sentence directly blocked all possibilities, Yang Zhen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to exhort him, but in the end he did not exhort him.

Ling Han continued to write, and after a while, he found that Yang Zhen was still standing there.

So he raised his head and asked, "What else is there?"

Yang Zhen's face was tangled, and he said: "I have something that I don't understand, please ask Your Highness to answer."

As a servant, I shouldn't have asked too much.But these days, he often feels that he is stupid, not only can't keep up with the thinking of His Highness, but also the thinking of Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, Pei Yuanshao and others.

He knew that His Highness would still use him because of his past affection.But he was very worried that before long, he would not even be qualified to work for His Highness.

Seeing that His Highness did not intend to refute it, Yang Zhen boldly asked: "I just heard what Master Tao said, and he is obviously willing to recognize His Highness as the master. Why didn't Your Highness ask for the power of Xuzhou, but chose to ask for a piece of land in the East China Sea? What about recruiting Xiangyong?"

Ling Han put down his pen, looked at him and said, "Do you still remember the conversation I had with Mr. Feng Xiao that day?"

Yang Zhendao: "The subordinates will naturally remember. But Master Tao is different from other princes. He is extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty and to the late emperor!"

Ling Han looked at the other party's serious appearance, and thought to himself, with Yang Zhen's political consciousness, he would not be able to be an official in the future.

He explained: "Because of the Black Mountain Army, Tao Qian valued me very much, that's right. But war and internal affairs are two different things. As a young prince, he will believe that I can govern Xuzhou well? Don't say he doesn't believe it." , Even myself, I don’t have a single ounce of confidence.”

"Although Xuzhou is small, there are quite a few gentry factions in it. Right now, our only source of information about these relationships is Mi Fang. But the Mi clan is good at merchants, so they are naturally separated from the gentry."

"Back then, countless scholars were persecuted during the chaos of the party. Nowadays, there may not be many people among the nobles who are hostile to the imperial power, but it is impossible to say that there is no entanglement. How to distinguish these people?"

Seeing that most of the confusion in Yang Zhen's eyes had been eliminated, only a little remained, Ling Han paused and said: "If you don't care about internal affairs, ask for military power."

"I'm new here, can Tao Qian really rest assured that the general power will be handed over to me? This is something that may or may not be obtained. However, no matter whether I can get it or not, I will greatly offend Zang Ba, who was originally in charge of the military power. .He fought countless battles with his soldiers the year before, and now I will drive him away as soon as I come. Can he be willing? Will the soldiers he brought out listen to me?"

Ling Han looked at Yang Zhen and said: "The identity of the royal family and the prestige of defeating the Black Mountain Army are valued by the state shepherd. When the king has no conflict of interest with them, most of them will come to flatter you. But once there is a conflict of interest , these people will use countless means in private. When Xuzhou becomes a mess, then my reputation will be gone."

"Instead of this, it's better to create mountains and rivers by yourself. No matter what you want to do, you can borrow from the outside world. When I build a powerful army by myself, these people are not mine, but they will become mine."

"Do you understand?"

Every single word, Ling Han spoke very patiently.

After traveling to the Three Kingdoms, Yang Zhen was the first person he met.

At that time, Yang Zhen did not abandon himself like other palace guards.On the way out of Luoyang, he even tried to protect himself many times regardless of his life.

Therefore, even compared to the civil servants and military generals who have been famous for generations in the same era, Yang Zhen is unknown, and he is an ordinary passerby.

Ling Han will never abandon him.

Yang Zhen came to his senses, clasped his fists and bowed and said, "Your Highness is far-sighted."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can leave." Ling Han said: "Taking advantage of these two days, take a good rest. You don't need to stay here, you can go to sleep or go out for a stroll."

"Wait a few more days, things will come one after another, and there will be no time to rest."

Yang Zhen clasped his fists again and said, "Yes, this subordinate will retire."

Ling Han wrote another paragraph about making salt, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

If you want to write again, you have to turn on the lamp, otherwise you will hurt your eyes.

He happened to be a little hungry, so he put down his pen and decided to find his senior brother to have dinner with him.
