Evening time——
Liu Chan came to Jiaofang Hall in high spirits, with a relaxed and proud look on his face, which made Zhang Yuan, who was coaxing little Jindou to sleep in the hall, chuckle.
"Little golden beans."
"Hurry and say hello to Father."
As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the little golden bean in the cradle immediately started babbling and laughing happily, and kept waving its two little hands, as if it understood what its mother said.
When Liu Chan came up to him, Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in such a good mood."
"Hey!"
Liu Chan chuckled, then squatted down, stretched out his fingers to gently touch his daughter's little hand, and said with a smile: "My little princess, my little cotton-padded jacket, you are very happy to see your father is back, aren't you?"

Seeing how interested Liu Chan was, the stone hanging in Zhang Yuan's heart finally fell to the ground.
When Liu Chan left the palace before, although she believed that the Prime Minister was her elder, she naturally would not care about His Majesty's jokes at the court meeting. As long as His Majesty went to talk to him, she believed that the resentment would be resolved.
However, she naturally knows it.
After all, the Prime Minister and Your Majesty belong to the monarch and his ministers.
At the court meeting in the afternoon, His Majesty’s words were indeed a bit extreme.
As a loyal person like the Prime Minister, this is undoubtedly a kind of harm.
Seeing Liu Chan so excited now, it must have resolved the knot in the prime minister's heart. Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he and Liu Chan talked to their daughter Xiao Jindou.
Liu Chan's family of three is enjoying themselves happily.
But outside the palace, many people are worried.
Because the emperor suddenly said these words, it is inevitable that people will not speculate.
For example, Shang Shulang Qiao Zhou.
When the Han Dynasty came to Guanzhong, he was promoted to Shangshulang from encouraging studies. It is said that the prime minister originally only planned to promote him to one level, but in the end, His Majesty made an exception and promoted him to Shangshulang.
Rather than encouraging people to learn and engage in work, Shang Shulang was an official who ran errands for the emperor.
In order to express his gratitude to the emperor for his promotion, Qiao Zhou held his first court meeting in Weiyang Palace and submitted a petition asking Zhuge Liang to return to power. He thought that this was exactly what the emperor wanted.
I didn’t want to but was rejected.
When he proposed to return to the throne of the emperor, dozens of court officials, including General Wei Yan of Zhenbei, supported his idea and hoped that the prime minister would return to the throne of the emperor.
And the person involved, Zhuge Liang, also agreed.
It seems that the emperor is in charge, and it is a matter of course.
When Zhuge Liang agreed to return to power, the courtiers in the hall who supported his return were all ecstatic, because it had been ten years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Except when the late emperor was in office, the late emperor had the final say in government affairs.
It has been almost eight years since the Emperor took the throne today, but all government affairs, appointment and dismissal of officials, etc., all come from the Prime Minister's Office.
Qiaozhou has the reputation of Confucius in Shu, and has deep-rooted Confucianism. Naturally, he hopes that the emperor should be in charge of the country to be on the right path. Even if Prime Minister Zhuge is highly virtuous and respected, he cannot overstep it.
But——
The emperor actually disagreed and even refuted him in public.
Qiao Zhou was naturally a little embarrassed.
Not only did the emperor not accept the return of power, but he also said a lot of reasons. The final result was that the affairs of the government remained as usual, with the government being governed by the prime minister's office and the sacrifices being made to the emperor.
Although Qiao Zhou and others were turned away when it came to returning to power, soon when the matter of selecting additional concubines came up, they were suddenly confused again.
I originally thought that the emperor would remain as he always was - only Guerrero's wishes were followed.
But I didn't expect that just because of the number of concubines, the emperor actually refuted Ge in public, and even said that if the prime minister disagrees, I will immediately abdicate with you.
If you don't agree, the emperor will do it for you.
Qiao Zhou had been thinking about this matter since the end of the dynasty.
In fact, besides Qiao Zhou, the people who were thinking about this matter were naturally others, such as General Wei Yan of Zhenbei, Marquis of Martial Arts Zhao Yun and others.
Evening——
Zhao Mansion.
"Father!" Zhao Tong asked Zhao Yun with some doubts: "What your Majesty said in the court today..." Before Zhao Tong could finish speaking, Zhao Yun immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, and I have always respected him.
Prime Minister, what happened today is just that your Majesty is kind and unwilling to covet beauty."
"Father," Zhao Tong retorted, "I think otherwise. This time I, a big man, was able to take control of Guanzhong, but as Qiao Zhou said, it was all because of your majesty's surprise attack."
Seeing that his father did not stop him, Zhao Tong continued: "After this battle in Guanzhong, your Majesty's intelligence has been confirmed, and you are the British Lord."
"But nowadays, the affairs of the Han Dynasty are still controlled by the prime minister."
As he spoke, Zhao Tong suddenly frowned slightly and said with some worry: "Although His Majesty refused to return to power today, because of the matter of selecting a concubine..."
When Zhao Tong just said this, Zhao Yun suddenly stood up and said: "As long as you fulfill your duties as a minister, you don't have to discuss the emperor's affairs anymore." After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out of the door, walking as he did.
At the same time, he also said: "You go and have a rest, and you can practice Tai Chi for your father."
Seeing that his father had already gone out, Zhao Tong had no choice but to give up.
Zhao Yun walked out to the courtyard and made slow gestures one after another. This was a set of exercises passed down to Liu Chan not long after he came to the throne. According to Liu Chan, this exercise is called Tai Chi. Elderly people practice it all year round.
Make people live longer.
Zhao Yun is a general of the Han Dynasty. He is now over fifty years old, but the great cause of the Han Dynasty to unify the Central Plains has not yet been completed. He naturally hopes that he can live longer so that he can do more things for the Han Dynasty.
However, Zhao Yun, who was practicing Tai Chi at this time, was not at all calm.
Because he can naturally understand Zhao Tong's words.
He was also present at today's court event.
He is a little worried. The Han Dynasty has finally occupied Guanzhong, and the situation is great. However, Wu and Wei are still strong. If there is disharmony between the emperor and his ministers in the Han Dynasty, this will definitely not be a good thing.
Wei and Wu both had their eyes on the Han Dynasty. Once there was internal strife in the Han Dynasty, Wei and Wu would definitely attack with their troops.
Zhao Yun's worries are not unnecessary.
Let’s talk about Cao Wei. In these two battles in Guanzhong, Cao Wei not only lost Yongliang, but also weakened Cao Wei’s strength in the Three Kingdoms.
In less than two years, Cao Wei suffered two defeats in Guanzhong.
This made Cao Rui very dissatisfied.
On the second day after the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Chang'an.
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
In the main hall.
Cao Rui's face was ashen, and none of the courtiers dared to speak.
Because they all knew about Liu Chan's move of the capital to Chang'an.
"Let's talk about it!" Cao Rui suddenly said: "Liu Adou of Western Shu has moved his capital to Chang'an City, but we, the Wei Dynasty, have been defeated in battles. Don't you have anything to say?"
Cao Rui is really angry.
Especially General Sima Yi, Cao Rui looked at him with disappointment.
People often say that Sima is resourceful, but he prepared for more than half a year, but ended up suffering a huge defeat in Wuguan.
If his son Sima Shi hadn't lost an arm and was considered a sacrifice for the Wei Dynasty, he really wanted to remove Sima Yi from his official position immediately.
Sima Yi's face doesn't look very good either.
"Your Majesty!"
Just above the main hall, when there was deathly silence, the general Cao Zhen suddenly came out and said: "I ask for orders to fight against Xishu again and regain the lost territory in Guanzhong."
After more than a year of dormancy, Cao Zhen had already emerged from the shadow of being captured in Guanzhong.
As soon as Cao Zhen finished speaking, Cao Rui was immediately delighted.
"Okay!"
Cao Rui said loudly: "I have appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the expedition against Shu. I will immediately raise an army of 100,000 to attack Western Shu."
Cao Zhen was captured in Guanzhong, and it was Liu Chan who finally sent Cao Zhen back in exchange for Guo Huai's family. However, Cao Rui understood very well that the defeat in the battle of Guanzhong was not Cao Zhen's fault.
Now that Cao Zhen is willing to lead his troops into battle, Cao Rui is naturally happy.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree!"
Cao Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the emperor's permission.
Cao Zhen was named the Commander-in-Chief of the Conquest of Shu, which meant that Sima Yi's military power had to be returned to Cao Zhen. Cao Rui had long wanted to do this.
It's just that after the Battle of Wuguan, no one in the Wei Dynasty dared to fight against the Shu army.
Because they are afraid.
Afraid of the unknown crossbows of the Shu army.
As for what the crossbows of the Shu army look like, no one in Cao Wei knows until now. Although the imperial court sent many spies to sneak into the pass, they were unable to find out any information.
The Shu army has super powerful bows and crossbows, so no one in the Wei army dares to fight the Shu army again.
Could it be that the land of Yongliang was given to Xishu like this?
Cao Rui was unwilling to give in. He had been thinking about fighting Guanzhong again.
It’s just that no one in the DPRK has dared to lead troops into battle.
Now that it’s all right, General Cao Zhen has recommended himself.
Guanzhong——The Wei Dynasty must regain it.
