Palace, inner court

"Your Majesty, I am ordered to leave the palace every day and secretly observe what Zhao Yun did. Now I have gained something."

"Today, outside the Guanyi, the general's brother, Yimiao, from Henan, personally asked for a meeting, and also planned to make friends with him."

Zuo Feng, the little yellow sect, accepted the emperor's intention and left the palace a few days ago to observe it secretly.

Hearing this, the dragon sat on it, the emperor was solemn and said in a shock, "Did Zhao Yun have a friend with him?"

For a moment, Liu Hong, as the emperor, suddenly felt troubled after hearing this, and a hint of disgust arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is not true. Although Henan Yi took the initiative to go to ask for a visit, the personal guards under the command of Zhao directly led the soldiers out of the town."

"Then, with some intense words, he shook the crowd and left behind and thanked the guests!"

As Zuo Feng explained his words slowly, Liu Hong's expression gradually changed from shade to sunny, and he smiled slightly.

In fact, Zhao Yun's actions have not made friends with the powerful and powerful, and the emperor is willing to see them.

The reason why Liu Hong has not seen him enter the palace for a long time.

It’s not that I forgot, but that I observe in secret.

Zhao Yun traveled across the cold land, defeated several counties of Qiang and Hu, and even destroyed the Eastern Qiang tribes, and built Lingwu in Jingguan.

He also made a quick decision to lead the army to break through Jincheng, Heguan and the thieves, etc.

After hearing Zhang Wen's report, Liu Hong couldn't help but look happy and couldn't help but appreciate Zhao Yun.

Afterwards, the court official Huangfu Song even made his ambition clear with his death, insisted on admonition, and asked him to pay attention to Zhao Yun.

It is precisely because his attitude is so firm that it also aggravates Liu Hong's suspicion. What is the extraordinary thing about Zhao Yun?

This has almost become the only thought in Liu Hong’s heart today.

Yes, he was indeed an excellent general in a cold and defeated Qiang and Hu.

However, even Huangfu Song praised him so much that Liu Hong had to think about it.

Although Liu Hong had never commanded the army, he was very clear about how powerful Huangfu Song was.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to use one's own strength to quell the two-thirds of the Yellow Turban War alone.

Since now, he would use his death to persuade Zhao Yun to pay attention to it, and also let the court train it extensively, Liu Hong had to pay attention to it.

Of course, even if you want to reuse it, you cannot trust it blindly.

Therefore, it was only a few days before entering the city and sent Zuo Feng to visit Zhao Yun secretly outside the hall.

It is conceivable how worried Liu Hong was to make friends with powerful people in the court and form cliques.

As expected, if Zhao Yun meets and talks with He Miao this time, no matter what the final result is.

I'm afraid that Zhao Yun's career will end early, and Liu Hong will never pay attention to it.

Liu Hong was also so frightened, which was actually related to the experience of ascending the throne as emperor in his early years.

Even though it is well known that his grandfather and his father were both granted the title of Marquis of Jieduting, and Liu Hong was the Marquis of Marquis of Liu Hong.

Logically speaking, the throne of emperor should have nothing to do with Liu Hong, and it is not a turn for him at all.

However, the fact is just a coincidence. Emperor Heng died and had no son at all. Empress Dowager Dou and Dou Wu controlled the government and took great power.

In the Dingce Palace, Liu Ji, the Guanglu Dafu, led Yulin Lang to Hejian to welcome Liu Hong to the throne.

From the beginning to the end, Liu Hong was just a puppet emperor that the gentry and relatives of the foreign country found in order to consolidate the regime and control the government.

As he grew up year by year, Liu Hong gradually felt a little ambition in his heart, and he was unwilling to continue living as a puppet.

In order to get rid of the control of foreign relatives and gentry, in desperation, he had to continue to favor the eunuch party and check and balance each other.

Unfortunately, there are advantages and disadvantages. The power of the Ten Constant Assassins also emerged, and cholera was the court, resulting in the disconnection of government orders in various places and chaos.

As a result, the Yellow Turban War broke out!

Although Liu Hong had ambitions in his heart and longed to revive the Han Dynasty, the Qiang rebellion had already exhausted the national treasury.

Looking at the empty national treasury, Liu Hong had no choice but to start selling official positions and titles, and clearly marked the price.

This move is the most ridiculous decision, but it is not a helpless move!

If the treasury is really full, will Liu Hong continue to sell his official positions?

The gentry and powerful people gradually expanded their power because they assisted Guangwu in the revival.

To this day, the gentry and powerful people have long been unable to get rid of them, and they have occupied prominent positions in the court and made profits for the family.

Internally, he even collected tenants to annex the land and expand his family's strength.

With the oppression of the powerful, refugees are increasing day by day, and the number of black households is increasing, and the taxes collected by the state are gradually struggling.

It was this huge food chain that caused the number of thieves in the Han Empire to increase, rebellions everywhere, and people's lives were in dire straits.

Based on this, Liu Hong also thought that since all the gentry were officials in the court and seeking personal gain for the family.

Then why not directly sell official positions and titles, and also use the money of various gentry to enrich the national treasury?

In fact, in all aspects, whether it is the worship of the eunuch party or the sale of official positions, it is Liu Hong's helpless move!

It is precisely because of all the factors that Liu Hong was very frightened and would make friends with the ministers and ministers in the court and get along with him.

If Zhao Yun really relied on He Jin's command, Liu Hong would not use him seriously, but would have life worries.

At this stage, foreigners want to gain trust, they can only remain neutral, not connect with foreign relatives, eunuchs, and not participate in any factional disputes.

······

"Since that's the case, Zuo Feng, go to Guanyi quickly to convey my will and summon Zhao Yun into the palace."

In recent days, Liu Hongda was also moved by Zhao Yun's closed-door greetings and did not make friends with the ministers and ministers in the court.

"Your Majesty, I heard that when Zhao Jiawei returned to the camp in triumphal from Liangzhou, he had a dispute with Taixiang Hou."

"According to the envoy, Lord Xia Yun said that Zhao Yun and Dong Zhuo were both secretly assassinated."

"So, I think this matter is definitely not such a coincidence, there must be something wrong with it!"

After the words came, Zuo Feng knelt straight on the ground, sweating like a rain forest, gushing out, but his heart was extremely frightened.

In fact, as the little yellow sect, Zuo Feng also relied on the Ten Eunuchs. They were actually extremely reluctant to do so in their hearts that the emperor could promote loyal foreign generals.

After all, once the Han Dynasty sent more and more wealth, the eunuchs who lived in the survival of the emperor would lose their use.

Although the ten eternal servants are extremely powerful and have the same argument in the court, all of this power comes from the emperor.

Whenever, as long as Liu Hong calls the order, the power of the Ten Constables will collapse in an instant!

What's more, Huangfu Song was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and there was no doubt that Zhao Yun recommended him.

It is conceivable that Zhao Yun’s military achievements in the future will definitely be grateful to him and will also be loyal to the Han Dynasty.

This move is extremely unfavorable to the situation of the eunuch party!

That is why Zuo Feng took advantage of the conflict between Zhao Yun and Dong Zhuo to frame him to destroy Liu Hong's favorable feelings for him.

After several days, he could also feel that Liu Hong actually had a strong likes for Zhao Yun and even had the intention to value it.

Now, what I saw Zhao Yun was extremely conscious and did not rely on any faction, which felt extremely strong.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong's expression did not change, and he was extremely calm, as if everything was calm!

"Zuo Feng, you must remember, how did the Ten Eunuchs come from their rights, even the entire eunuch?"

"On weekdays, I can also try to eliminate political enemies and kill ministers and ministers, and I can also close my eyes."

"But if you frame the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, then..."

The words were not clear, but Liu Hong suddenly felt a strong aura silently rising in his body.

This momentum became more and more intense, and accompanied by a sense of oppression, Zuo Feng was almost trembling and did not dare to speak anymore.

At this moment, Zuo Feng finally realized that the emperor in front of him was no longer a pure child.

He has grown up and is now a real emperor.

I favor the Ten Constables, and I can give you the right to eliminate political enemies. But if I violate the emperor's rebellion, I will die without a place to bury you!

After thinking through these, Zuo Feng's face suddenly turned ashen and said in panic: "I...I dare not speak!"

In a panic, he responded with a promise, his steps were chaotic and he slowly withdrew.

Immediately following, Liu Hongcai slowly stood up his tired body and murmured: "Zhao Yun, I hope you don't let me down!"
