    After the main meeting and the small meeting, the emperor had not rested yet.

    It was already afternoon, and the emperor and Cui Zheng were sitting in the palace eating. There was a bowl of soup cakes and a plate of pickles in front of each of them, and that was it.

    The emperor ate big gulps while praising: "The queen's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

    Cui Zhengchang chewed slowly and nodded without saying a word.

    The emperor finished eating quickly and patted his belly, still not satisfied: "I really want another bowl."

    The eunuch standing by the side lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the queen said that each person can only have one portion. Your Majesty, this soup has meat added, no more."

    The emperor was immediately ashamed: "I was wrong, I am not actually hungry, I am just greedy." He sighed and shook his head, "How many people are still not full, but I actually want to eat one more bowl of rice."

    Cui Zheng also finished eating at this time and said: "Your Majesty, be frugal and self-reflective, but don't be too harsh on yourself." He looked at the map on the side, "Our foundation accumulated over hundreds of years in Daxia, although the rebels are in rebellion, but  It¡¯s not like everyone can¡¯t eat, it¡¯s just that they are being harmed by the rebels.¡±

    As long as the rebellion is put down, everything will return to normal, and Daxia will still be the prosperous Daxia.

    The emperor stood up and walked to the map. Yes, the Great Xia he was familiar with was rich in materials, everyone had food and clothing, and there were mountains of gold and silver everywhere. Now all of this has been blocked by the rebels

    "Prime Minister," he asked, "Tell me, who can be trusted with the matter of Xuanwu Dao?"

    Without waiting for Cui Zheng¡¯s answer, the emperor smiled bitterly.

    "Originally, I said there was no news, but so much news suddenly appeared. I don't know who to listen to. I don't even know whether Xuanwu Dao's side is true or false. It's not like this has never happened before"

    Because it is not easy for the court to verify, it is difficult to distinguish the true from false reports from various places. One government reported news that soldiers and horses had recovered how many places. The results were either false reports, or they were pretending to be rebels.

    "Of course, I don't believe it. This matter involves Mrs. Chu, Han Xu, and Governor Xiang didn't say anything. These three are all loyal ministers and good generals."

    "I'm just a little confused."

    Cui Zheng finished his last bite and put down his bowl and chopsticks, motioning to the eunuchs to take it away. He stood up and came to the map, saying, "Of course Governor Xiang is more trustworthy."

    "It seems that Governor Xiang doesn't know where it is." The emperor hesitated.

    Cui Zhengdao: "It is precisely because he is unclear that he is more trustworthy. Governor Xiang is a person who is not good at expressing himself. He will tell what he knows and will never talk about what is unclear. Compared with Governor Xiang, Mrs. Chu is not trustworthy."

    The emperor was a little surprised: "Why can't Mrs. Chu be trusted? She has always been brave and good at fighting, caring for the people, and assisting all parties. With her around, the local defenders feel at ease. She has always been reliable in her work."

    Cui Zheng said: "This woman has a bad reputation."

    The emperor was startled: "How could it be? Mrs. Chu is deeply loved by her, she is a fairy-like figure"

    Cui Zhengdao: "The fairy-like figures are exaggerated. The good reputation bought with money is just for a purpose. After you become successful and famous, your true nature will be revealed."

    It is true that Mrs. Chu gave porridge to the people, but the porridge and food came from wealthy families.

    "If you want rice and grain, you can do whatever you want with whatever name you want. If you don't pay, you will be kicked out of the Chu State Lady's rule." Cui Zheng looked at the emperor, "Not only those who refused were kicked out, but the whole family was kicked out.  The old, the young, the sick and the weak.¡±

    The emperor looked shocked. He did not believe that such evil things existed in the world, and he was at a loss. It seemed that he was the one who did such evil things.

    The bad things are not over yet.

    "Your Majesty gave her the management of Huainan Road. She will be responsible for everything about the government and the guards. She will sell her official position." Cui Zhengdao, holding out his finger, "It doesn't matter how much. Those who give more money will be given to senior officials, and those who will be given less money will be given to junior officials.  , and even those who were given more money could continue to serve as officials if they had originally voted for the rebels.¡±

    These words were serious. The emperor waved his hands and said: "Impossible, impossible, Governor Wu's wife cannot be like this!"

    Cui Zheng said calmly: "Your Majesty and we have all dealt with Governor Wu. Governor Wu is arrogant, but he still has a bottom line. Governor Wu is not such a person, but there is no guarantee that Governor Wu's wife is also such a person. Your Majesty,  We don¡¯t know anything about this Mrs. Wu.¡±

    The emperor said: "This is a rumor. I know what the rebels are slandering. If Mrs. Wu is really like this, why didn't she report it to the local officials?"

    "If you make her angry, you will be whipped with a horsewhip on the street while wearing official robes, and kneel outside her door." Cui Zheng sneered: "She has soldiers and horses in hand, and her husband is a man of your majesty's trust. She covers the sky with one hand on Huainan Road,  Killing the nobles, beating up the officials, anyone who doesn't listen to her is destined to die.Got it?  Then Mrs. Chu, is she going to reunite with Governor Wu?  "

    The eunuch looked outside and hesitated a little. His Majesty and the Prime Minister cannot talk about their private conversation casually

    Jiang You handed over a money bag and whispered: "A few gold leaves, father-in-law, take them to play with."

    The eunuch squeezed it in his hand, feeling the long and rectangular touch, and looked a little disappointed. The gold leaf was not very perfect. He thought that he had hidden it much better than this in the palace in the capital, but it was just  Now it has all fallen into the hands of Ankangshan, or someone has touched it

    What can he do? He can only save money again. With money, sooner or later what the Prime Minister and His Majesty said will be told to everyone. Whatever.

    "The reputation of Mrs. Chu" He lowered his voice and gestured to Xiang Yun and Jiang You to come closer, "the matter of hooking up with Han Xu spread. His Majesty was afraid that Governor Wu would cause trouble, so he sent Chu  Madam, please go back to Linzhou for resettlement first"

    Is this actually the case?  Xiang Yun and Jiang You still looked surprised.

    This kind of thing is unbelievable. The eunuch smiled and stood away.

    This kind of thing is not unbelievable. Xiang Yun and Jiang You looked at each other. They had people spread the story about Mrs. Chu and Han Xu in order to reduce Han Xu's weight in the eyes of His Majesty Cui Zhenghe.

    It is best for His Majesty Cui Zhenghe to only see him. He is clearly in front of you, so why not be as good as a civil servant from afar?

    Unexpectedly, Han Xu was fine for the time being, and Mrs. Chu was about to be captured. This result was really an unexpected surprise!  It's better than replacing Han Xu.

    If you can get Huainan Road, it is equivalent to getting Jiannan Road!

    Jiang You straightened his back and said solemnly: "Commander, how will you advise His Majesty?"

    Xiang Yun understood the meaning of his question, adjusted the official robes he was wearing, and said: "I will tell your majesty that if Xuanwu Dao can be consolidated, it will not take two years to capture the capital. This year, or next year at the latest, we can take action."  .¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the emperor's presence, you can clearly understand what you want and look forward to most, and what you are most intolerable to. Only then can you be loyal to the emperor and become an indispensable person.
