Su Ren left Chang'an, and the ghosts and spirits who had been suppressed showed signs of resurrection. Especially led by the princess's mansion, who wants to reclean his own territory. Fortunately, Liu Che still has a Su Kai in his hands, and many things that cannot be handled by Zheng Daguang can be done properly by Su Kai. Liu Che is most worried about Su Mansion, Su Ren is working hard for himself outside, whether it is a subordinate or a brother, he has to take care of his family.

Without the constraints of the empress dowager, Liu Che's control over the court became more and more handy, and a large number of ministers loyal to the emperor were promoted, such as Ji Di, Wang Hui, etc., and the atmosphere in the court was refreshing. What made Liu Che happiest was that Wei Qihou Dou Ying agreed to be the prime minister. Although Dou Ying is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Taihuang, he is an authentic Confucian, and with his support, the forces of his relatives can stand on Liu Che's side. In addition to happiness, there are also headaches. Liu Che's uncle Tian Wei is greedy for money and lustful, and he has no great ability, if it were not for the sponsorship of the Queen Mother, Liu Che would not let Tian Wei be a lieutenant even if he died.

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of autumn, the rain has been heavy, and the river is overwhelmed, and the minister thinks that the embankment should be broken to release water, so as not to endanger Chang'an." The imperial historian Zhuang Qingzhai crossed the prime minister Dou Ying and reported the matter.

Liu Che glanced at Zhuang Qingzhai and asked Dou Ying: "Does the prime minister think it's appropriate?" ”

Dou Ying hurriedly said: "The flooding of the big river is a great disaster for my Han Dynasty over the years, every time it is to break the embankment and release the water, in order to protect Chang'an, this year the minister has sent someone to check, although the water is very large, but there is no time to break the embankment and release the water, even if the flooding will not endanger Chang'an, it will only wash away the fertile land in Hebei, and will not cause too many losses. ”

"The difference between what the prime minister said!" Zhuang Qingzhai hurriedly said: "Since the Great River broke its embankment and released water from the first emperor's dynasty, why didn't you do it this year?" Hebei's fertile land is also a field, if it is flooded, how should the people of Hebei live? If the embankment breaks and the water is released, the river can be diverted to the wasteland, and the fertile land can be saved, so why not? ”

The newly appointed Tiger Ben Zhonglang General Fan Hao was furious: "Hmph, don't think I don't know, the so-called Hebei Liangtian, there are a lot of your Zhuang Qingzhai's, right?" Breaking the embankment and releasing water, I ask you Zhuang Yushi, where is the wasteland on both sides of the river, every year in the past, it was you who broke the embankment and released water, flooding the people's farmland, in order to protect your own fertile land, Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, how can you continue to do nonsense? ”

"Dasi Nong? Is this serious? Liu Che immediately understood and asked Da Si Nong.

Han Anguo, the great Si Nong, was originally the staff of the King of Liang, but when he saw that Liu Wu, the King of Liang, was unbearable, he stayed in Chang'an, took the path of Tian Wei, first served as the Governor of the North for a few years, and just became the Great Si Nong. Liu Che asked him, and he couldn't help but answer, so he hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter is big and the matter is urgent, so he should send capable people to Dahe to personally inspect and deal with it." ”

"You're the Great Si Nong, it's you!"

Han Anguo chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down: "Although the minister is a big farmer, he doesn't understand the matter of water conservancy, the minister has the courage to protect the chief inspector Shi Suren, and when the minister was in the north, he listened to Su Changshi's wisdom and wisdom, whether it is agriculture, business, calculation, economics, etc., he knows everything and knows everything, and he also heard rumors that Su Changshi is a little confused about Li Bing's design in Dujiangyan, and the whip is in, which shows that Su Changshi can be a big responsibility." ”

Liu Che was happy, but he didn't show it on his face. This Han Anguo is really interesting, as soon as Su Ren left, he looked for an opportunity to get Su Ren back for himself, it seems that this person has some brains.

Zhuang Qingzhai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, by all means, Su Ren's going to Lingnan is a matter of great importance, but he must not spoil the imperial court's plans for the sake of hundreds of acres of land." ”

"So what? Will you give me a solution? ”

Zhuang Qingzhai was speechless for a moment, and the counterattack of the old ministers was once again resolved by Liu Che. Discussion and discussion, this matter is handed over to Luoyang Taishou to do, the area that must be flooded is in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, far away from Chang'an, and the flooding does not have much loss to the imperial court, and it is a big deal to send people to relieve the disaster. Just when everyone had nothing to say and Liu Jiqing was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, an eager roar came from outside the palace gate.

"Report ......, will report urgently!" There was a tight sound, and it passed directly into the main hall from outside the palace gate.

Everyone's hearts are tight. It is not false to send Su Ren to Huiji to suppress the Yue people, but after all, there are only 10,000 county soldiers in Huiji, if the Yue people jointly attack, it will not be guaranteed, and the south will be in chaos, and then the north and west will be moved, which is not a good thing for the imperial court.

With the sound of the word, the herald flew with a cloth bag in his hand, and walked into the Weiyang Palace in three or two steps: "There will be an urgent report, please take a look at Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Jiqing hurriedly went down to the hall, took the cloth bag of the herald flying horse, trotted to Liu Che's desk, and stood aside to watch Liu Che's expression. Liu Che opened the cloth bag in twos and threes, frowned, and slowly unfolded the bamboo slips. As I watched, the expression on my face changed, from frowning at first, slowly stretching, and finally flushing with excitement.

"Good! That's great! Liu Che couldn't help but scream.

The ministers in the hall looked at each other, confused. Tian Wei's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly climbed out of his position: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Su Changshi lived up to expectations and quelled the rebellion of the Yue people. ”

Liu Che smiled: "Uncle, please get up, this matter is indeed worth congratulating, I just received the Huiji Taishou Yan help 800 miles urgently, Su Ren led the troops to raid the capital of Minyue to govern the city, and in one fell swoop broke through the city, capturing hundreds of officials of all sizes such as the king of Minyue, and Minyue has been peaceful!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, God bless my big man!"

"Hahaha......" Liu Che laughed.

Tian Wei smiled all over his face: "Your Majesty, Su Ren has made a great contribution this time, and he should be praised!" All officers and soldiers who go to war should also be rewarded, and the Guild Inspector will also have merit and should be rewarded. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, all rewards! This matter is also within the responsibility of your captain, and you can plan it out! ”

"Whoa!" Tian Wei finally retreated.

Soon, the news spread in the entire palace that the Han army had taken Minyue and captured the king of Minyue. Liu Che personally went to Changle Palace to report to the Empress Dowager Dou, and after listening to Liu Che's report, Dou nodded with a smile: "Su Ren is really a blessed general, since he has made contributions to my Han, the emperor can't snub the heroes, and the reward must be rewarded." ”

"Grandmother Huang, don't worry, my grandson has already asked people to do it."

"That's good!" Dou sighed: "Since Gaozu, my Han Dynasty has used troops abroad, although there has been a slight victory, but there is no victory to destroy the country, although Minyue is a small country, it is also a country, Su Ren went to Huiji on the fifth day of marriage, and the wife who just married cannot have no complaints, tomorrow you let people call his two wives into the palace, and the mourning family wants to meet them." ”

"The emperor's grandmother is gracious, and the grandson is grateful for Su Ren!"

Su Yiyi left, there was no news for several months, and the other was that the mountain was high and the road was far away, and it was inconvenient to travel back and forth. Second, the communication technology is too poor, even if you send someone to send it, it will take more than a month to go back and forth, if there is a mistake on the road, no one knows what is wrong. This time, Yan Zhu sent 800 miles to expedite the good news into Beijing, and Su Ren took the opportunity to use it for private use, and asked the herald Feiqi to send a letter to his home.

As the so-called beacon fire lasts for three months, the family letter is worth 10,000 dollars. When the family was worried, they received Su Ren's letter, and their emotions that had been suppressed for several months were completely cathartic. Leng Yue's tears fell down, and Dong Qian managed to hold back. Twelve Niang and Thirteen Niang soothed with kind words, which made the two girls stop crying.

Wen Dang stroked his beard with his hand: "Okay, Zihengping will destroy Minyue, the Yue people will be jealous, and the southern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty will not be worry-free!" ”

Dong Zhongshu also affirmed his son-in-law for the first time: "The Yue people surrendered and rebelled, rebelled and surrendered again, and became a tumor in the southern Xinjiang of my Han Dynasty, especially the most prosperous in Fujian and Yue. ”

Sima Xiangru said with a smile: "Dong Sai Wine is the first time to affirm Ziheng, which is gratifying." ”

"That's right! As soon as Jun Shi said this, the old man also remembered, it was indeed the first time that Brother Dong affirmed Ziheng, it was really gratifying, Leng boy, go to those wines, a few of us want to drink a few glasses. ”

Leng Jun had no choice but to turn around and get the wine. Liu Gao had already come in with the wine, and said with a smile: "Mr. Leng doesn't have to be busy, Mr. has made a great contribution, and he should celebrate, and there is enough wine today." ”

Wen Dang laughed: "You house slave, you usually look at what is at home, you can take out so much wine today, shouldn't you mix it with water again?" ”

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere of the Su family eased, and everyone finally had a smile on their faces.

Some people are happy, naturally some people are unhappy, and everything has a good side and a bad side. For example, this time, Su Ren pacified Minyue, and almost the entire Chang'an City was deposited in happiness, but the atmosphere of the Pavilion Tao Chang Princess Mansion made people feel cold down their spines. It's not that the princess Liu Concubine doesn't want to see the Yue people destroyed, as Liu Bang's descendant, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is naturally a good thing. It's just that he doesn't want to see Su Ren reckless.

glared at Han Yan: "It's all your bad idea, not only did you fail to kill Su Ren, but also let us lose so many people, otherwise this Chang'an City would have returned to our hands a long time ago." ”

"My cousin is also dead, isn't this matter already in the past, why does the eldest princess mention it?"

"Yes, yes, what Dr. Han said is right, this time Su Ren has made a great contribution, and returning to Chang'an is just around the corner, let's finally come out of his shadow, if he comes back, it will not be beneficial to anyone, so let's find a way."

"Humph!" Concubine Liu said coldly: "Su Ren has made a great contribution now, and everyone in the world is watching, who can stop him from coming back?" ”

"Can you ask the Empress Dowager for help?" Zhuang Qingzhai asked tentatively.

Liu Yan rolled her eyes: "My mother doesn't know what's wrong, now I'm being coaxed by Liu Che, I haven't seen her several times, even the queen hasn't seen her, but I want to summon the two sluts of Su Ren's family!" I don't know what the Empress Dowager thinks. ”

"It's useless to ask the Empress Dowager, you have to think of another way to do this." Han Yan lowered his head and pondered, and said for a long time: "Do you want to come again?" ”

"One more time for what?"

Han Yan smiled: "Since we can't stop Su Ren from coming back, then we have to start again halfway." ”

"Coming back? Last ......"

"This time it's different." Han Yan was full of confidence: "Zhuang Yushi, as long as Your Majesty wants to transfer Su Ren back to Chang'an, you will find a way to let Su Ren go up the river, and I will have my own way when the time comes." ”

"Up the river? Do you want to use the Huainan ......? Zhuang Qingzhai was shocked.
