Shu Chen

Chapter 431
It is Wang Mang and Cao Cao, the former usurped the throne of the former Han Dynasty, and the descendants of the latter stole the artifacts of the present Han Dynasty.
Emperor Liu Chan answered silently in his heart.

He didn't say it out loud because he knew what Zheng Pu meant: don't let the prime minister fall into the criticism of the world.

Naturally, he was also displeased.

How can Zheng Pu compare treacherous traitors such as Wang Mang and Cao Cao with the prime minister!

Engaging in unrestrained decisions up to the present to promote government among the public, it is still impossible to conclude that the prime minister is the one who can conquer the end!

If it wasn't for the fact that the two had always been friendly and knew that Zheng Pu also admired the prime minister, he couldn't help but sternly reprimanded him immediately, even causing Huben to convict Zheng Pu of defamation!
call.
Take a deep breath.

Emperor Liu Chan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said with a slightly agitated voice, "Zijin be careful! How can you say such a dirty word!"

"Speaking unscrupulously is a capital offense! Capital offense!"

Hearing this, Zheng Pu hurriedly got up and saluted and pleaded guilty, but he still argued with reason, "Your Majesty, although Pu made a slip of the tongue, he also knows that the prime minister's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, but after all, there are many ordinary people in the world. Jiangdong’s words of destroying our great man are coming out one after another! With Wang Mang and Cao Cao treacherous in front, if Your Majesty insists on granting the Prime Minister and Jiuxi, I am afraid that the Prime Minister’s reputation will be criticized by the people of the world!"

The emperor was at a loss for words.

It wasn't that he felt that what Zheng Pu said was wrong, or that he was annoyed at being rebuked by Yan Zhi.

It was the first time he felt Zheng Pu's stubborn temperament.

Previously, whether Zheng Pu sat down with him or advised him, he always made jokes.

Maybe it's because of the reputation of the prime minister?
With such thoughts in mind, the anger in the emperor's heart suddenly melted away, and his expression eased, "I have said that this is just a small talk, Zijin should not act like a court."

After a pause, he added, "I know what Zijin said, so I'll take my seat."

"Thank you Liu Jun for not guilty."

After Zheng Pu thanked him according to his words, and sat on the bed, the emperor said with emotion, "Those who are as sincere as their fathers will inevitably be destroyed by words. This can be said to be a very old man's heart!"

Zheng Pu was silent.

When I was young, Fang slowly answered, "Back to Liu Jun, because of the history, the posterity judges the predecessors, and often judges others by their own likes and dislikes. There are many mediocre people in the world, and there are many things where three people become tigers." .”

Three people become tigers?

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and if he had realized something, he drooped his eyes and stroked his beard without saying a word.

Zheng Pu also realized this.

According to the temperament of the emperor, if he accepts his advice, then he has already spoken out to make a conclusion.

Now he's just thinking about it for himself, which shows that he still doesn't change his intention to add nine tins to the prime minister.

To be precise, it was because of his honest temperament, he felt that he could not give enough courtesy to the prime minister who was helping the Han Dynasty, and he was worried.

Therefore, Zheng Pu hesitated for a while, and then said in a soft voice, "Liu Jun, Pu secretly thought that the honor of Prime Minister Jia and showing Liu Jun's heart is not limited to adding Jiuxi."

Ok?
As soon as these words fell, the emperor raised his head suddenly, his eyes were burning, and his voice urged urgently, "Zijin can speak quickly!"

"promise."

Zheng Pu nodded and responded, "Liu Jun, what I mean is the pre-Han dynasty, the inheritance of Jue Binghou."

Feng Hou was Xiao He who was known as the "First Marquis of the Founding Kingdom" in the former Han Dynasty.

The Sheng Gui mentioned by Zheng Pu refers to the fact that the emperors of the former Han Dynasty never forgot Xiao He's contribution.

For example, after Xiao He's descendants inherited the title, they were often expelled due to childlessness or lack of work. However, people such as Gaohou, Wendi, Jingdi, Wudi, Xuandi, and Chengdi all ordered to find another Xiao He to restore the title to Fenghou; After the former Han Dynasty was usurped and destroyed by Wang Mang, there was no longer a marquis in the world.

That is to say, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He truly fulfilled the words of "the country will last forever, and the Miao people will be given to the Miao descendants" of the high emperor Liu Bang's white horse alliance.In the same way, Zheng Pu is persuading the emperor to follow the story of the former Han Dynasty, honor the prime minister's great honor to future generations, and share weal and woe with the country.

"The prosperity of the former Han Dynasty is like the story of Xiao He~~"

This time, Emperor Liu Chan muttered to himself, his expression quite moved.

When Zheng Pu saw this, he took the opportunity to add another sentence, "Liu Jun, if you follow Xiao He's story, the good stories between the first emperor and the prime minister will be the same as today!"

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Not surprisingly, the emperor urged again.

Zheng Pu did not neglect either, and said loudly, "The late emperor had the style of a great ancestor, and the whole country entrusted himself to the prime minister; since the prime minister was appointed, he has devoted himself to his dedication and unswerving determination. Since my father is the prime minister, my mind and spirit are always the same, so I can also be praised by the grand guide!"

"Zijin's statement is absurd! It is absurd!"

Hearing this, although the Son of Heaven smiled happily, he waved his hands again and again, "The late emperor and Xiangfu deserve the praise of Shenggui. What virtue and ability do I have, how dare I attach myself to evil spirits!" I finally let go and no longer insisted. Adding Jiuxi's thoughts, "As Zijin said, in order not to increase the disturbance of Xiangfu and prevent the young people from criticizing Xiangfu's reputation, Jiuxi does not matter."

"Liu Jun's words, forgive me for not agreeing."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Pu grinned, and retorted, "Nine tins cannot be added, and one tin can't be corrupted? The first emperor ordered Liu Jun to treat his father as the prime minister, which is a combination of the monarch and his ministers! When Liu Jun enters the prime minister's house, he still belongs to himself. Why not Give it as a 'Zhu Hu'?"

"Great!"

The Son of Heaven laughed when he heard the words, stroked his back and said, "Zijin knows me too! Hahaha~~~"

There is a conclusion, and the emperor is happy.

Instead of talking about the affairs of the court, he talked with Zheng Pu about his long-awaited love and the details of his upcoming northern tour.

When they were young, a report interrupted their feast of talking and laughing.

"Report to Your Majesty."

I saw Wang Hua, a close minister who was waiting respectfully in the distance, approached within ten steps, and bowed to ask for instructions, "Just now Governor Zhao sent someone to ask for instructions, claiming that Fu Qian and Wei Rong both shot ten times on foot and shot ten times on horseback." There is no distinction between equals in the Ninth Middle School. Therefore, please make a decision: should your majesty increase the reward by one? Or make them compare with each other in a hundred steps?"

"You son of a general, that's the case!"

Hearing this, the emperor clapped his hands and praised, his expression was not surprising at all.

Because among the more than [-] meritorious children who attended this meeting, Fu Qian and Wei Rong were the oldest.

Moreover, both of them had killed the enemy in front of the battle in Longyou or Liangzhou, and they already had the ability to behead. Naturally, they were more skilled in bowing horses than the meritorious children who stayed in Gyeonggi.

After praise, the Son of Heaven did not show Wang Hua immediately, but turned his head to Zheng Pu and said with a smile, "Zijin was called 'Wei's Great Trouble' by the anti-Wei, and his power shook the enemy's country. Showing off the saber as a reward, how about serving the country bravely by being handsome and tough?"

"inappropriate."

Zheng Pu refused without hesitation, "This is Liu Jun's business, and I will bring all the gifts from Jiangdong! Now I have no money left, Liu Jun will not make it difficult for me!"

"Haha~~"

Unable to help, the Son of Heaven couldn't help laughing, turned around and asked Wang Huadao, "I still have a short halberd in this camp, go and get it as a reward."

"only."

Wang Hua took the order and left.
