Zhang Wei looked at Liu Fuling.

I couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Then he shook his head.

He said earnestly: "This matter is of no small importance."

“Ordinary people simply cannot take on this role.”

"Not only that, anyone heading north must be strictly screened, and only qualified people can follow the army north."

"This matter concerns the survival of the Han Dynasty. How could Your Majesty make such a foolish decision?"

"Fortunately, the situation has not yet reached a point where it cannot be undone. Currently, we still have room for recovery."

"Your Majesty, please give an order immediately and have the clan members return immediately. Do not stay in the north, and do not delay the decision of the Grand Marshal."

"Is the Grand Marshal alright?"

Liu Fuling looked at Zhang Wei in shock.

This was the best news he had heard so far.

He knows nothing about military affairs.

I don’t know what the situation is in the north.

When he learned the war report from the north, he was indeed shocked.

Especially when he heard that Sima was besieged by the Huns, he became extremely anxious.

Originally, he wanted to discuss this matter with the Prime Minister.

But the Prime Minister was traveling around the four counties during this period and was not in Kyoto at all.

no way.

He could only ask someone to find Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei is now the only person in Kyoto who can help him.

I thought there might be some clues here.

But the reality gave him a heavy blow. Zhang Wei was not in Kyoto.

This was also one of the reasons why he panicked.

nowadays.

See Zhang Wei return to Kyoto.

Liu Fuling felt inexplicably relieved, and then when he heard that the Grand Marshal was fine, Liu Fuling looked at Zhang Wei in shock.

Zhang Wei looked at Liu Fuling who was worried.

nodded.

"The reason why the Grand Marshal released the news at this time is that he wants Your Majesty to help him find the spies hidden in the army!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to do anything now. You just need to recall the royal family members and make sure the person behind you is not exposed."

Zhang Wei said lightly.

Although he was not worried about the big man.

And it does not need to concern the survival of the Han Dynasty.

But this matter is indeed more complicated than he imagined.

He was not interested in what the big man was like.

Anyway, the Zhang family now has a foothold.

Even if the imperial power changes, it will not have any impact on the Zhang family.

He has the confidence now.

But there is still a big difference between the affairs of the Huns in the north and the change of imperial power.

If it is a change of imperial power.

He can sit back and watch, or even reap the benefits.

But he couldn't just sit back and watch what happened to the Huns.

We cannot even let the power of the Han Dynasty fall into the hands of others.

So, he had to help.

After Liu Fuling heard what Zhang Wei said.

A gleam of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

As long as the Grand Marshal is okay, that's all.

"I will give the order now!"

Liu Fuling looked at Zhang Wei, nodded at him, then returned to his seat, took a pen and immediately wrote a memorial, asking someone to take it to the north and recall the royal family members immediately.

Zhang Wei looked at Liu Fuling's vigorous and decisive attitude.

A hint of satisfaction appeared on his face again.

This guy is pretty good.

And he worries about the country and the people.

He is a good king.

Zhang Wei looked at Liu Fuling and was silent for a while.

Then he stepped forward and ordered someone to send the memorial to the north as quickly as possible, and also ordered someone to make sure the letter was delivered to the hands of the Grand Marshal.

After resolving this matter.

A hint of relaxation appeared on Liu Fuling's face.

Suddenly looked at Zhang Wei.

Curiously asked, "Has Lord Zhang solved the problem of the salt and iron government?"

this time.

Liu Fuling also heard some news from various counties.

None of this news is good.

There were also natural disasters.

There was a place with a drought that was rare in a century.

Leading to food harvest failure.

But local officials showed no mercy to the people.

Instead, they imposed heavy taxes and forced them to pay all the taxes.

Under such a heavy burden, these people instantly became refugees and had to leave their homes and prepare to flee their ancestral land.

When the news reached him, he was very angry.

But he had no other options except opening the granaries to release grain or asking the imperial court for disaster relief.

Of course, he did not put all his hopes on Zhang Wei.

The reason why I asked Zhang Wei was because Zhang Wei owned the Zhang Family Trading Company and was also a royal merchant.

People in the Zhang family have a talent for business.

Naturally, he had to ask Zhang Wei for his opinion.

See if Zhang Wei has any solution or solution to this problem.

Zhang Wei looked at Liu Fuling.

This little guy is very young.

I didn't expect there would be such an idea.

And his idea is really good.

The question is also very appropriate.

He is worthy of being the successor chosen by Emperor Liu Che.

Originally, Liu Che should have made Liu Dan his successor, but the other party was too old.

And he is too mediocre.

The other party never thought of training him to be the successor to the royal family.

The reason why Emperor Liu Che let Liu Fuling take the throne was because Liu Fuling was still young, and he could give the position of regent to someone he trusted and let them assist Liu Fuling together.

These people were all selected by Liu Che.

Needless to say, this is true for the big man.

Liu Fuling was still young and posed no threat to them, so there was no need for them to plot to usurp the throne.

It must be said that Liu was a very wise emperor.

Liu Che was still not at ease with letting Huo Guang hold all the power alone, so he pushed himself to the forefront. He ascended to the position of regent minister after just becoming one of the Nine Ministers, which shocked everyone.

Others do not have any right to refuse.

He could only go with the flow and become the regent.

For Liu Fuling.

There are only a few records in history books.

Because this person didn't live many years.

And he left no offspring.

He did not occupy a very important position in the history of the Han Dynasty.

For such people.

Zhang Wei doesn't know much.

Now he saw Liu Fuling appearing in front of him.

Zhang Wei still felt a little emotional.

As expected, he was born into a royal family.

As long as you are born in an imperial family, there is absolutely no easy role.

Even if this is a child.

He can show extraordinary calmness and wisdom.

Zhang Wei looked at Liu Fuling and couldn't help but feel a few emotions in his heart.

Then he looked at Liu Fuling and nodded solemnly.

"Prime Minister Tian and the Imperial Censor have already resolved the matter."

"The drawbacks of the state-run salt and iron industries have been completely eliminated."

"No one will impose heavy taxes and levies in the name of government, nor will they compete with the people for profits. Your Majesty can rest assured!" Liu Fuling nodded.

He knew that asking Zhang Wei would be the right thing to do.

After seeing Zhang Wei nod, Liu Fuling became bolder.

Later, he talked about some issues related to state affairs.

He actually didn't spend much time in contact with Zhang Wei. If there was any important event in the court, he would usually discuss it with Zhang Xingmin and the Grand Censor.

Or discuss it with the Prime Minister.

Only after discussing with these people will he let Zhang Wei make the decision.

But Zhang Wei didn't spend much time in the imperial city.

As the helmsman of this imperial city.

He is not as busy as Zhang Wei.

But thinking of Zhang Wei's current position, Liu Fuling could understand it very well and could only let Zhang Wei move freely outside.

Now, he finally saw Zhang Wei, so naturally he had to ask him in detail.

Zhang Wei listened carefully to the questions raised by Liu Fuling.

Then the corresponding solutions are given.

"Does Lord Zhang know about the national treasury?"

"I recently heard that Lord Zhang seemed to want Zhang's Company to withdraw from the Imperial Merchants' Tears. Is this true?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Fuling looked at Zhang Wei steadily and asked.

When the attendant next to him heard Liu Fuling ask such a question, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief, wanting to know how Zhang Wei should respond.

Zhang Wei and the Zhang family now have a very high status in the Han Dynasty.

People in Beijing basically won't go against Zhang Wei.

They all want to curry favor with Zhang Wei now.

He wants to establish a good relationship with the Zhang family.

Even in the court, many people had to act according to the Zhang family's wishes.

Zhang Wei has now established a firm foothold in Dahan.

The strength began to become extremely strong.

They dare not provoke such people.

Your Majesty puts it so bluntly.

Aren’t you afraid that Lord Zhang will be angry?
Just when the servant was worried, Zhang Wei suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Where did Your Majesty hear this news?"

Liu Fuling saw Zhang Wei suddenly laugh.

Instead of relaxing, the expression on his face became even heavier.

He looked at Zhang Wei deeply, and then said, "Master Zhang, do you really intend to have Zhang's firm withdraw from the ranks of imperial merchants?"

The people around him are not mediocre.

He was also taught wholeheartedly.

He has also learned a lot in the court during these days.

And he also knew what he should do as an emperor.

Being in this position, he cannot slack off or be lazy at all.

He can only keep moving forward.

Fight to the death.

If Zhang Wei really wants Zhangjia Commercial Bank to withdraw from the list of royal merchants, he can help Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei must make a promise to him.

Zhang Wei was a little surprised at Liu Fuling's sharpness.

This little guy was indeed a little beyond his expectations.

Because what he said was exactly right.

I do intend to have Zhangjia Trading Company withdraw from being an imperial merchant.

Zhang's firm has now grown to this extent.

There is absolutely no need to rely on imperial power.

He could just as well have named it after the Zhang family.

Not only that, as long as it leaves the ranks of imperial merchants, the Zhang family business will be able to expand massively and enter a period of rapid development.

It will be able to accumulate a lot of wealth for the Zhang family.

This was one of the things he had been planning to do for some time.

Since Liu Fuling has already made it clear.

Zhang Wei didn't intend to hide it, and nodded to Liu Fuling: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I do intend to have Zhang's firm leave the ranks of imperial merchants. I wonder if Your Majesty would agree to this?"

When the attendant next to him saw Zhang Wei admit it so openly, his pupils shrank again, and then he looked worriedly at Liu Fuling who was standing next to him.

Your Majesty has gotten into big trouble this time.

The reason why the late emperor allowed Zhang's business to become the imperial merchant was to use it to restrict the development of the Zhang family.

The late emperor did so many things just because he didn't want the Zhang family to develop too quickly.

I didn't expect that His Majesty wanted to give up the power in his hands after only being on the throne for a few years.

Moreover, he wanted Zhangjia Trading Company to leave the ranks of imperial merchants.

Once the Zhang family business leaves the control of imperial power, it is very likely to enter a period of rapid development.

It may even pose a threat to them.

Even someone close to him can see it clearly, so how could Your Majesty not see it clearly?

What is the point of your Majesty doing this?

"I can agree to it!" Liu Fuling looked at Zhang Wei calmly and said, "But I need a promise from Lord Zhang!"

Compared to Da Sima.

In fact, Liu Fuling didn't quite trust the Zhang family.

Because Da Sima told him some stories about the Zhang family's past.

I also know that the Zhang family has produced many talented people.

I also know about the contributions the Zhang family made to the Han Dynasty.

But that's over.

In fact, his father had already praised the Zhang family.

He even gave the Zhang family the rewards they deserved.

From past events, he not only did not feel close to the Zhang family, but was extremely wary of this family.

Because the Zhang family is not controlled by the imperial power.

Especially the head of the Zhang family.

He had met Zhang Wei several times before. Every time Zhang Wei saw him, his expression was very complicated. He showed respect on the surface, but not actually submitted.

What he needs is someone who is truly submissive to him and can be his right-hand man.

The Grand Marshal Huo Guang was left to him by his father.

And there is a certain kinship with him.

Plus, the Huo family was not of high origin.

The fact that he could make use of Huo Guang was already a grace to Huo Guang.

And his father has already paved the way for him.

As long as he does not do anything to betray Huo Guang, the other party will definitely assist him sincerely and will not betray him. This is why he can trust the Grand Marshal.

But for Zhang Wei...

He has never been able to figure out this person!
Although he was very young, he was born in an imperial family, and none of the education he received since childhood was easy.

Zhang Wei is an extremely dangerous person and could pose a threat to the imperial power.

Liu Fuling naturally wanted to stay away from such a person. Whenever there was any important matter, he would discuss it with the prime minister and the chief censor.

He would only let Zhang Xingmin get involved if these two people couldn't solve the problem.

If Zhang Xingmin can't solve the problem, then he can only come to Zhang Wei.

And these things are no secret in the court.

Everyone knows that Zhang Wei has no status in His Majesty's mind.

But so what?

Even though he was far away from the Zhang family, he was not particularly kind to them.

But people in the court still follow the lead of the Zhang family.

Especially towards Zhang Wei, they never had any intention of rebellion, and they even dared not resist Zhang Wei.

For such a person, he naturally cannot force him too much and can only exchange interests with him.

So far, the Zhang family has not shown any intention of rebelling against the Han Dynasty. In this case, he has the opportunity to make a deal with the person in front of him.

Zhang Wei looked at Liu Fuling with a smile.

This little guy is more interesting than he thought.

He originally wanted to be a loyal minister, assisting every emperor of the Han Dynasty and making the Zhang family the most prosperous family.

And have a good reputation.

Once the family's power and reputation have accumulated to a certain level, he can then withdraw perfectly and fill the hole he had dug before.

But an accident happened.

The foolish things that Liu Che did in his later years did deal a heavy blow to the Zhang family, and even set back the Zhang family's strength by several decades.

It was also from then on that he realized that it is better to rely on oneself than on others. Since he decided not to rely on imperial power, he had to make plans early.

It is better to be a powerful minister than a pure minister.

The power is in hand!

It can also provide shelter for the Zhang family and enable them to develop faster. (End of this chapter)
