Han Dao world

Madam Yuan pouted. "I just want to drink a few glasses of wine. As for abandoning the land of my ancestors and going to the Western Regions thousands of miles away?"

Yang Biao chuckled, and said quietly, "Ma'am, you can only drink with peace of mind when you go to the Western Regions."

Madam Yuan frowned slightly, and glanced at Yang Biao. "Is this what the emperor meant?"

Yang Biao sat up, put the teacup on the table, and brushed off his sleeves. "The emperor didn't say anything, but as an old minister, he should share his worries. The Yuan family in Runan and the Hongnong Yang family are the top schools in the world. The Yuan family has already taken the lead. How can my Yang family lag behind?"

Madam Yuan frowned even tighter, feeling somewhat displeased.

She understood what Yang Biao meant, but she was unwilling to accept her fate.

It is true that someone from the Yuan family went to the Western Regions, but it was not voluntary by the Yuan family. It was just that they were guilty first, and they were implicated by Mrs. Liu's idiot, so it had to be done.Four years after Yuan Tan guarded the tomb, he came here because he wanted to take the examination of Sanqi Shilang.If Mrs. Liu hadn't escaped from overseas, why would he have been exiled to the Western Regions again.

Yuan Shi committed a crime, but Yang Shi was right, why did he leave his hometown?

But she was born in the Yuan family, and she has been married to Yang Biao for so many years, and has been in the center of power all these years, so she naturally knows that what Yang Biao said is not groundless.

The Son of Heaven was very afraid of the family. Although he didn't kill people out of caution, he didn't want to see the family monopolize his official career as before.His various new policies were intentionally or unintentionally aimed at the aristocratic family, especially the replacement of examinations with examinations, and the replacement of Confucian classics with practical learning, almost directly targeting the foundation of the aristocratic family.

Although the aristocratic family has accumulated so much that it cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, but in the long run, it is inevitable that the aristocratic family will lose its former glory.

If nothing else happened, she might witness the family's decline with her own eyes.

Even so, she was unwilling to go far to the Western Regions.

Difficulty in walking, wind, frost, rain and snow, fatigue and disease, any of which may kill, let alone thousands of miles away with different customs.

"Do you have to go?"

Yang Biao nodded slightly. "For the great man, for the Confucianism, I would like to be the first in the world. Madam, although our emperor is young, his heart is extremely persevering, and what he wants to do will definitely be done. Rather than being forced to start at the end, it is better to take the initiative. Hong The Nongyang clan is prosperous and has many children, even if my father and son leave the Central Plains, the ancestors can still eat with blood."

He turned his head to look at Mrs. Yuan, and said solemnly: "Furthermore, the Son of Heaven treats the veterans kindly and expects a lot from De Zu. How can he treat me badly if I take the initiative to ask for it? No way, I will still serve him for a few more years."

Madam Yuan snorted, turned her face away, and refused to speak.

Yang Biao didn't say much.He knew that his wife was a smart person, and when it comes to this, she must be able to understand the pros and cons, but she just couldn't swallow it for a while.

Yang Biao got up and was about to leave the hall when Mrs. Yuan stopped him suddenly.

"Husband, do you think Lulu is willing to go to the Western Regions?"

Yang Biao turned his head to look at Mrs. Yuan, thought for a moment, and burst out laughing. "I really haven't thought about this question. He is the head of the Yuan family now, so he shouldn't leave the Central Plains easily, right?"

Madam Yuan insisted: "If he is willing, will the emperor agree?"

Yang Biao chuckled lightly. "Although Gonglu is a rascal, he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs and has won the favor of the emperor. People like Zong Shilin can go to the Western Regions. If Gonglu wants to go, how can the emperor refuse."

He paused, and then said: "With his unscrupulous temperament, he may be able to create a world in the Western Regions."

Madam Yuan thought so too.Although Yuan Shu was the head of the Yuan family, it was forced by the situation and was actually not popular.Not only the Yuan clan did not recognize him, but also Yuan's disciples and former officials did not recognize him. Some people even thought he was a traitor and wanted to harm him.

Even if Yuan Shu stayed in the Central Plains, he would not live comfortably, so why not go to the Western Regions with the Son of Heaven.

"Then I'll write to him and ask."

The building boat docked, and the officials of Changsha County waiting on the shore boarded the boat one by one according to the size of their official positions, and greeted the emperor.

Liu Xie stood quietly on the flying hut of the building boat, looking at these excited or nervous officials, feeling calm.

Huang Zu enthusiastically introduced the names, places of origin and official positions of the people, but it could be seen that he did not have a tacit relationship with these people, and he was not even familiar with the names, so he asked people around him to remind him from time to time.Under the tension, a layer of oily sweat appeared on his forehead.

But those officials were a little gloating at his embarrassment.

It was not only Huang Zu who was embarrassed, but also Zhang Ji who was standing beside Liu Xie.When he revisited the old place, the people of Changsha did not give him any face. Almost no one greeted him, and not many even glanced at him.

It is conceivable that he has nothing worthy of praise in the past two years in Changsha.

From another point of view, the people of Changsha were indeed somewhat domineering, even in front of the emperor, they were unwilling to save face for Huang Zu and Zhang Ji.

After all the visits were over, Liu Xie called the prefect Han Xuan and Gongcao Huanjie over, and asked a few words.

Before that, Han Xuan hadn't spoken much, but now he opened the chatter box and poured out bitter water.

"Your Majesty, the taxes in Changsha are too heavy..."

Zhang Ji's face changed, and he was about to stop him, but Jia Xu stopped him with a look.Zhang Ji looked anxiously at Jia Xu, then at the Son of Heaven. Seeing that Jia Xu was unmoved, he froze in place and complained to Han Xuan.

Changsha has indeed been burdened heavily in recent years.

Last year's performance appraisal in Changsha not only ranked behind in the country, but also ranked last among the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, even lagging behind Wuling.

In the final analysis, the influence of the garrison is too great.

Since Zhang Ji garrisoned here, Changsha has to bear the expenses of tens of thousands of horses, and all supplies must be given priority to the army, which has seriously affected the normal life of the people and dragged down Changsha's economy and people's livelihood.

In addition, military discipline is also a serious problem.

Zhang Ji had been stationed in the army for two years, and there were hundreds of cases of the Xiliang army invading places, but Zhang Ji suppressed them all, and none of them could be dealt with fairly.

Following Han Xuan's accusation, Zhang Ji was ashamed and annoyed, his dark face flushed red, and his teeth were chattering.If it wasn't for the presence of the Son of Heaven, he would have been violent and ordered his guards to drag Han Xuan down and chop him into meat paste.

He never expected that Han Xuan, who used to be silent before, would act uncharacteristically today and even sue him in front of the emperor.

His bloodshot eyes rolled around and landed on Huan Jie behind Han Xuan.He gritted his teeth, ignored Jia Xu's suggestion, took a step forward, moved behind Liu Xie, and said in a hateful voice: "Your Majesty, Han Xuan has always been docile, but today he is uncharacteristically, there must be someone bewitching him behind his back."

Liu Xie turned his head slightly and cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Ji. "Is what he said true?"

Zhang Ji was startled, his eyes widened, and he raised his hand to touch his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't know what to say.

At this time, Han Xuan fell to his knees, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and raised his hands high. "Your Majesty, here is the list of all the cases. But there is one case where General Hussar was wronged, and I am willing to suffer the crime of sitting on the back seat."
