Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve party.

The emperor had nothing to prepare and was still in the opera garden.

"Shaojian Han, the King of Yue is here."

The King of Yue returned to Chang'an following the victorious generals from the Southern Expedition, and has been squatting in his palace in a low profile.

Occasionally I went to the palace to visit the queen, and as for the emperor, I only saw her once when I first came back.

Han Shitou left the pear garden.

"I have met my second brother." The King of Yue saluted.

The title "Second Brother" was coined by the prince, but Han Shitou had never received the courtesy of the princes. He turned sideways, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please follow us."

The emperor's green shirt reminded the King of Yue of the Imperial College and those outsiders.

"Aye."

"Um!"

There was silence between father and son for a while.

"Aye, in this southern expedition, the three thousand cavalry from Northern Xinjiang are quite sharp."

"Um!"

"My child, please leave."

The emperor opened his eyes and said calmly: "Speaking of which, Zhang Chumao is your relative."

The King of Yue said: "The child only has his father in his heart and has no relatives."

"It's good that you know."

"yes!"

The king of Yue resigned.

Zhang Huan took over as Minister of the Ministry of War, and the military governor of Southern Xinjiang unsurprisingly fell on Zhang Chumao.

Zhang Chumao's father-in-law was Yang Songcheng, and the King of Yue and him could be considered relatives.

What the King of Yue said was to say: Although Southern Xinjiang had just won a battle, which made Southern Zhou bow, it was Northern Xinjiang that was even more powerful!

This is diverting trouble from the east.

It’s also self-analysis.

Southern Xinjiang is not even as good as Northern Xinjiang, how could there be any dissent?

This statement made Han Shitou very interesting.

And the emperor's reaction is even more interesting... It's good that you know.

This is knocking!

If the King of Yue and Zhang Chumao wear a pair of trousers in the future, these words will turn into thunder.

hehe!

Han Shitou stood on the steps and watched the King of Yue go away.

Then go in.

The emperor's eyes were bright. When he saw him coming in, he asked: "Earlier, you went outside the city to greet the generals who had returned from the southern expedition. How did you feel?"

Sure enough, only power can keep the emperor energetic.

Better than a noble concubine!

Han Shitou said: "Zhang Huan feels a little satisfied with the complete merits and virtues."

The emperor nodded, "He really wants to come to Chang'an and serve as an official. Just as the Southern Expedition is over, it's time for a new envoy to the Southern Xinjiang region."

"Zhang Chumao is still the same."

"That's just a dog!" The emperor said contemptuously: "After this battle, there will be no major troubles in southern Xinjiang. Therefore, letting him serve as a military governor can be regarded as a reward for his merits."

This reward does not refer to Zhang Chumao, Zhang Chumao has a shitty credit.

This gong refers to the aristocratic family headed by Yang Song.

The emperor and the clan have been in a secret war for the past few years, but the family members suddenly sided with the emperor and successfully suppressed the clan.

This is a must when it comes to rewards for merit.

"Where are the others?" asked the emperor.

In the past, he mostly asked about the situation of Jiedushi, but this year, even the officials below were interested.

"Liu Qing looks in high spirits."

…

At this moment, Liu Qing was hitting his lower back with his backhand. The woman on the bed looked sideways at him, "You are still as young as an eighteen-year-old."

Liu Qing couldn't help but glance at the small porcelain bottle on the table.

The sunlight shines on the small porcelain vase through the crack in the door.

Eight words are shining brightly: Rejuvenation Pill, good for him and good for you.

…

"And Shi Zhongtang, the adopted son of the imperial concubine."

The emperor was unconvinced.

"Yang Xuan, the governor of Chenzhou."

The emperor said calmly: "Huang Chunhui is very optimistic about this son. This is because he wants to cultivate talents for Northern Xinjiang. Liao Jin has skills, but he is not as cunning as Huang Chunhui. Facing Northern Liao, I am afraid it will be difficult. Liu Qing is a person

Somewhat interesting, but his talent is not outstanding."

With a few words, the three giants in Northern Xinjiang were all swept in.

Except for Huang Chunhui, the emperor actually looked down on everyone else.

"If Huang Chunhui is allowed to arrange manpower, then whose northern territory belongs to Northern Xinjiang?"

Han Shitou felt a shiver in his heart, wondering where the old dog wanted to take Lang Jun?

"But Huang Chunhui's life is short after all." The emperor reached out and brushed his knees, as if brushing away the dust, "I looked at the court and found that there was not a single capable minister who could confidently resist the Northern Liao army.

Huang Chunhui arranges his personnel unscrupulously because he sees my dilemma of having no one available and has no choice but to arrange personnel according to his wishes. He is very courageous!"

Han Shitou was convinced that if Huang Chunhui lived for another five years, the emperor would be able to find a reason to capture him and exile his family to the most remote place.

But judging from the emperor's tone, he should have acquiesced.

Huang Chunhui's methods are indeed brilliant!

Han Shitou even felt that if this person entered the court, he would definitely be able to mobilize a force to compete with Zuo Xiang, Yang Songcheng and others.

What a pity!

Such a great talent is so jealous.

The emperor yawned, and Han Shitou said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to feel sleepy in winter, why don't you take a nap?"

The emperor nodded, Han Shitou asked someone to bring a thin quilt, and the emperor lay on his side on the couch, with a charcoal fire burning beside him, which was very warm.

Han Shitou walked out of the hall, and a chamberlain said enviously: "Only Young Inspector Han can persuade His Majesty to rest."

Another chamberlain said: "That's not true. Last time, that person also wanted to imitate Young Supervisor Han and advised His Majesty to drink less. He was kicked down by Your Majesty and disappeared the next day."

"If you serve your Majesty wholeheartedly, you will naturally be rewarded!" Han Shitou warned.

Several chamberlains retired and went about their business.

"Hey! Look how distinguished Mr. Han is in the palace now. We are so envious!"

"This is all earned by Young Supervisor Han for many years of loyalty. I can't envy you!"

Han Shitou stood outside the hall, and everyone passing by slowed down their steps.

The royal concubine is here.

"Your Majesty is resting," Han Shitou said.

The imperial concubine nodded, "I slept late last night. If I took a nap during the day, I would be energetic again later."

"Yes." Han Shitou nodded.

"You are the only one who can persuade him to rest." The imperial concubine was very satisfied, and immediately rewarded Han Shitou with a farm outside Chang'an City.

The rewards for meritorious officials are limited, but the nobles do not hesitate to take action.

Han Shitou felt that this was the sign of national subjugation!

The emperor took a nap until the afternoon, looking lazy.

In the afternoon, the emperor became more energetic, sang and danced, called the imperial concubine, and they drank and had fun together.
