Zhong Changtong was sitting in the study, drinking tea calmly. Xu Fu, who was standing beside him, was pacing around anxiously. Zhong Changtong smiled and then said: "Yuan Zhi, aren't you tired? Come on, Sit down and rest for a while..." Hearing Zhong Changtong's words, Xu Fu glanced at him angrily, "You're not in a hurry, you're locked up in the mansion, why do you think they dare not move? You, the future Shangshu Ling?"
Just a few days ago, many soldiers came from the state and took direct control of the prefect's mansion, not allowing anyone to go out. In addition, an important minister also came to the temple to investigate what happened here. Xu Fu guessed that their main purpose The investigation was about Zhong Changtong's killing of those people. He was also trapped here and was not allowed to go out. He was anxious. Of course, he was not afraid that he would be implicated. He was mainly worried about the guy in front of him.
During these days, the two got along very happily. Zhong Changtong simply made Xu Fuzheng his subordinate official, giving him advice and managing Zhangye together. Zhong Changtong never regarded Xu Fu as his subordinate, and he was sincere. He regarded him as his like-minded friend, and Xu Fu did the same. Now seeing that Zhong Changtong was about to suffer misfortune, Xu Fu couldn't sit still.
Zhong Changtong smiled and said: "You can rest assured that the temples in Xuzhou were all created by the ministers, and the emperor did not support them at all. I did these things and offended the ministers. I was sure at that time, but I won't Offending the emperor."
"Won't offend the Emperor? Do you know what kind of ministers will offend the Emperor? Those ministers who make trouble for the Emperor all day long, making the Emperor even more busy and upset. Such ministers will be more annoying and more annoying than those idiots in the temple. The emperor is disgusted!" Xu Fu said.
"You are right, most of the ministers in the world are causing trouble for the emperor like this! Humph, I, Zhong Changtong, are ashamed to be with them!"
"Hey?!" Xu Fu was so angry that he was almost speechless. He looked outside the room and said, "Let me tell you, no matter what they find out later, don't make excuses. Just admit your mistake. If "I will escort you back to Luoyang, and I will go find Xun Yu and the emperor. Master Jun once planned Guishan. I know some things relatively well. I will use this as an excuse to protect your life." Xu Fu said seriously. With.
Zhong Changtong was shocked and said with some disdain: "You actually want to use this to blackmail the emperor?"
"Forget it, I don't have to let the emperor kill you. Today I, Xu Fu, will do justice for heaven..." Xu Fu said, about to draw his sword. Zhong Changtong jumped up quickly and said with a smile: "Hey , Don't worry, don't worry, I'm joking with you, Yuanzhi, think about it carefully, even if I kill a few Kushan people, so what? If the Kushan people don't ask questions, the emperor may still deal with it. I."
"But now that Kuishang has been questioned, the nature is different. This is a matter between countries. You think, with the emperor's arrogant temperament, will he deal with me for Kushan? Even if he hates me again, As long as he disposes of me, people in the world will say that the emperor wants to give Kushan an explanation, so he disposes of me, hahaha, how could the emperor do this?"
"It's just Guishuang, but you still want a big man to deal with your own prefect?"
Zhong Changtong shook his head with disdain on his face and said: "The emperor will not deal with me. Do I, a big man, need to give an explanation to Guishang?" Listening to Zhong Changtong's words, Xu Fu thought about it and realized that it was true. Seeing this, he sat down, his face calmed down, and asked: "So you have already thought about this?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you don't have to worry."
The two people were chatting when there was a knock on the door.
Zhong Changtong said, "Come in."
Then someone walked into the study. Zhong Changtong and Xu Fu looked over. The person who entered the room was a very strong fat man with a fat head and big ears. He stood in front of them, almost blocking the entire door.
Unable to see behind him, the fat man was wearing an official uniform. He looked at the two people in front of him and said with some pride: "I'm from Luoyang."
Zhong Changtong and Xu Fu slowly stood up and bowed to him.
The fat man nodded, looking very arrogant. Looking at the two people in front of him, he asked: "Which one is Zhong Changtong?" Zhong Changtong said: "I am."
"Hmm...", the fat man looked him up and down, and then said: "Remember, when you leave Zhangye in the future, you must entrust affairs to people who are worthy of your trust, and don't use some traitors. You know it, take a look.
, this time, it is because you are unable to recognize people and allow traitors to kill people in pursuit of fame and fame. I have already found out the matter clearly. Xu Fu, the chief minister under your command, is guilty and I have already killed him."
After hearing this, not only Zhong Changtong but also Xu Fu was stunned.
"No, Jun, Xu Fu??" Zhong Changtong looked at Xu Fu who was stunned.
"Yes, isn't that the name of your long history?" Fatty asked coldly. Zhong Changtong nodded and looked at Xu Fu aside. Xu Fu couldn't help but shook his head. Zhong Changtong didn't think about it.
Wrong, as expected, Zhong Changtong was not blamed, but a scapegoat was found. However, he never thought that he would become the scapegoat.
Of course, according to the fat man, he just borrowed his own name.
The fat man followed Zhong Changtong's strange look and looked at Xu Fu beside him, and asked: "Your Excellency, what do you call me?"
"My name is Xu...my name is Xu Shu."
The fat man nodded happily and said: "Yes, yes, your name will be Xu Shu. The previous chief minister Xu Fu has been punished for killing innocent people indiscriminately. You will be the new chief minister who will succeed him and will be called Xu Shu."
Xu Fu, no, Xu Shu nodded and said, "I understand." Zhong Changtong couldn't help but laugh, walked to the fat man's side, and looked at him seriously. He didn't even think about this fat man who came from Luoyang.
Without the slightest bit of fear, he asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, you look a little familiar... It seems you have seen it somewhere before. I wonder what your last name is?"
"My name is Liu Yi, and I am a small official in Luoyang. This time I was entrusted by the minister to come here." The fat man said, but when he heard the name, Xu Shu reacted and asked
"You are the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang? The son of King Chenliu?" The fat man grinned and said, "Oh, it turns out that you also know that I am exactly the same."
After learning Liu Yi's identity, Xu Shu's expression suddenly became much more solemn. Zhong Changtong was no longer as casual as before, and quickly invited Liu Yi to sit down. The three of them sat down, and Zhong Changtong said:
"Speaking of which, I still have some relationship with Liu Jun..."
"oh?"
"To be honest with you, I am a disciple of Duke Xing of Liuhou. In the past, Duke Xing and Xiaokang..." Zhong Changtong said. Liu Yi was also shocked and asked: "Is this so? It turns out to be Duke Xing."
My disciple, oh, then we are all old friends, hahaha, if there was anything rude just now, don’t blame me, Xing Yeye is my best friend!"
"And this one, this Xu Shu, is a disciple of Duke Jia, who was the mentor of Emperor Xiaoxian."
A few people talked for a while and found the points of contact with each other. Speaking of it, in fact, these young people in the temple can always find some connections with each other. They are related to each other, even if there is no family relationship, there is always some connection between the elders.
There was also some friendship. The three of them were of similar age, and they quickly became familiar with each other. They brought some good food, and Liu Yi and Zhong Changtong ate and drank.
"Let me tell you, justice, you have done this beautifully. Just kill me. You still have to ask me to make a trip. If Guishang doesn't accept it, just let the Northern and Southern troops go over and see if they accept it!
"After eating some wine, Liu Yi said a little proudly. Xu Shu was the sober one among them. He did not drink. He said: "Although this is the case, it is just for such a thing that he conquered Kushan and launched a war.
It shouldn’t be.”
"Those liars should have been killed a long time ago. Anyway, in Luoyang, I arrested them one by one, and they didn't dare to say anything. The ministers did file a memorial to impeach me, but I just need to go over and stand in front of them.
Those veterans' legs were shaking violently and they couldn't speak clearly, hehe..." Liu Yi smiled, and Zhong Changtong asked curiously: "Why is this?"
"According to what they said, Ye Ye and I are quite similar. I don't know how similar we are. Anyway, my uncle almost admitted it."
"That's not right. Is Emperor Xiaokang as... strong as you?"
"There should be some. My uncles, except for my father, are all relatively strong..."
"By the way, Your Majesty is very angry at your behavior of killing someone without telling you."
"I know, but if I don't do this, more swindlers will come in from Kushan. If I kill harder in Liangzhou, even if the emperor is dissatisfied, those Kushan people will be afraid and will not dare to come again in the future.
, I guard Liangzhou, and none of the demons, demons, or pagodas can even think of entering the Han Dynasty!! With me here, you can kill ghosts when you see them, and kill gods when you meet them!!" Zhong Changtong patted his chest and boasted loudly.
...........
At this moment, in Luoyang Imperial Academy, Cui Yan frowned and looked at the naughty child in front of him. Calculating the year, this child was more than four years old. Standing in the study, he showed no fear of strangers, or
It was uneasiness. On the contrary, if the sergeant hadn't grabbed him tightly, I'm afraid he would have run out long ago. This child is now the eldest son of the Han Emperor, Liu Hu.
Of course, Tiger is just his nickname, and as his name suggests, he also has some Tiger qualities.
This child is chubby. He bites his hand and looks around curiously. His height is even more astonishing. He does not look like he is four or five years old. He is probably about the same age as a government school student of about ten years old standing next to him.
The older one has been restless since he came in. Either he went to look through Cui Yan's collection of books, or he wanted to steal Cui Yan's collection of swords.
Guo Jia stood in front of Cui Yan with some embarrassment.
Before the arrival of the emperor's eldest son, Guo Jiake praised him in various ways, saying that he was a genius and that he was smart at a young age. Cui Yan was also very happy and agreed to teach the emperor's eldest son, but when he brought the emperor's eldest son over
After that, the eldest son of the emperor behaved really unbearably, almost slapping Guo Jia in the face. Guo Jia lowered his head and cleared his throat.
Cui Yan asked: "Your Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, have you ever studied?"
"I haven't read yet!"
"Then what will your Highness do?"
"I'm good at swordsmanship, archery, horseback riding, and battle formation... Oh, by the way, I'm also good at pulling my beard."
Cui Yan listened carefully, nodded, and said with a smile: "Very good, not bad, just let me teach the eldest son of the emperor!"
Guo Jia was stunned and looked at Cui Yan in surprise. This guy actually agreed?
Cui Yan said with a smile: "Okay, in three months, the sixth Gongyangguliang Debate of Taixue will begin. What the eldest son of the emperor has learned is exactly what is needed for the debate, especially this question.
Beards, hahaha, those old men in Guliang have such long beards!”
Um???
I gave you the eldest son of the emperor so that you could teach him!!! He was not given to you to use as a core strategic weapon!!!
