Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

Shi Xian and Hong Gong knelt on the ground with their heads buried in the ground.

I didn't even dare to raise my head.

They didn't even dare to look directly at the expression on Liu Shi's face.

Because they knew what kind of person Liu Shi was without even looking.

But they knew Liu Shi's character.

They had served Liu Shi for such a long time, and if they didn't even understand this, they would not have become the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of Pushe.

Liu Shi trusted them very much.

Even give them all the power in your hands.

This is trust in them.

It is also a kind of dependence on them.

They also knew that Liu Shi couldn't do without them.

It is precisely because of this that they chose to join forces with Shi Gao openly.

Fortunately, Shi Gao did not disappoint their expectations.

Anyway, the person is already dead, and Liu Shi will not make things difficult for them. They just need to come and admit their mistake.

After Liu Shi had vented his anger, they were still the most trustworthy people around him.

Think of this.

The two men were fearless.

Let Liu Shi vent his anger.

Liu Xie looked at the two people kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and suddenly felt a little sad, but also very proud.

This is what a servant should be like.

He needed someone like this.

He didn't have much of his own opinion and didn't like being pushed around.

But whether it is Xiao Wangzhi or Shi Gao.

Both of them like to force themselves to make decisions.

Although Xiao Wangzhi was the Prince's tutor and also his teacher, and although he respected and loved him very much, when it came to matters of principle, he would still stand on the side he approved of.

Although he was very angry about what Shi Xian and Hong Gong did.

But I kind of agree.

He had long wanted to reprimand these people.

I just never found the opportunity.

Ask him to always practice benevolent governance.

He originally wanted to be a benevolent king.

With such a personality, it is impossible for him to do anything against his will.

Hong Gong and Shi Xian did something that made him very happy.

But he wants to do it for others to see.

If Hong Gong and Shi Xian are not punished.

Others would have surely asked him to execute the two men.

It was precisely because of this that he called the two men to the Weiyang Palace, and then, in front of everyone, he got furious at them and beat them until they were covered in bruises.

After the scolding.

Liu Shi's anger had subsided a lot.

Then he waved his hand and asked the two men to get up.

Wait until these two people get up.

Liu Shi's words suddenly brought them to the brink of death.

"You are from the inner court, and you shouldn't interfere in state affairs."

"But since this matter was ordered by me, I will naturally save your lives!"

"Murdering a court official is punishable by death..."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

When Shi Xian and Shi Gao heard what Liu Shi said, they were instantly frightened out of their wits and quickly knelt down.

This was definitely beyond their expectations.

They really didn't expect things to develop to this extent.

What they didn't expect was that Liu Shi could actually say such cruel words.

Just when they thought Liu Shi was going to execute them, Liu Shi suddenly made a turn.

"Since this matter is decided by me, I will naturally give you a way to survive."

"I must give an explanation to the ministers outside, but the Prince's tutor is already dead, and I must give the people of the world a satisfactory answer."

"Since it is a capital crime, then you should take off your crowns and apologize."

boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of ecstasy instantly appeared on Shi Xian and Hong Gong's faces.

They knew that Liu Shi would not take their lives.

Before coming here.

They even thought that they would suffer physical pain and might be beaten to pieces by Liu Shi.

Anyway, you have to lose your life.

But what they never expected was that Liu Shi would treat it so gently.

The punishment just now was not a punishment at all to them, and it was even insignificant.

When they saw the punishment Liu Shi had given them, they immediately knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude to Liu Shi profusely.

Then he took off the hat on his head and placed it respectfully next to Liu Shi.

Seeing that the two men were so tactful, Liu Shi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the person next to him to take the hat away.

This can also be considered as an explanation to the people outside.

This matter ended with such an absurd ending.

People in the entire imperial city are waiting for the outcome of this matter.

But when they learned that Liu Shi was so lenient and did not even punish the eunuchs, everyone was greatly disappointed.

They really didn't expect it.

Liu Shi turned out to be such an easy-going person.

He was even fooled by the eunuchs.

Can such a king really lead the Han Dynasty to its peak?

Originally, the Han Dynasty already had hope for revival, and both its government and finances had made great progress.

But he followed Liu Shi to the throne.

All this has changed.

Because Liu Shi was a particularly benevolent king, he could not bear to see the people suffer, and even more so did not want to see a river of blood.

This also caused him to be indecisive and unable to make independent decisions.

Under such circumstances, it was easy for eunuchs and court officials to control the government.

After these people took control of the government, they naturally would not be wholeheartedly devoted to Liu Shi.

They naturally have to put themselves first.

Under such circumstances, annexation by local tyrants became increasingly serious.

Everyone wants to learn from the Zhang family.

Everyone wants to make their family as powerful as the Zhang family.

Let the imperial power rest solely on the Zhang family.

But this undoubtedly requires a long period of accumulation, and also requires the incompetence of those above.

What Liu Shi did did not arouse anyone's disgust. Instead, many people were secretly happy about it.

Because their chance has come.

As long as they seize the opportunity, they will surely be able to expand their family.

……

"Your Majesty really said that?"

In the Zhang family mansion.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiangyi, who was reviewing documents, looked at the entourage beside him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

It's really strange.

How could a king of a country do such a thing?

Once this precedent is set, the entire Han Dynasty court will become turbid.

Everyone will be caught in the vortex of power struggle.

The Qing government may be divided into several factions, and eunuchs have now begun to enter the court.

This was clearly the beginning of cholera in the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Xiangyi thought of what his father said to him before he died.

There was a different color in his eyes.

He has been preparing for a long time.

Just waiting to be ready.

Then give those people a heavy blow.

Of course, local tyrants also had their hand in the annexation.

If they were the only one in power, others might join forces with the imperial power to take action against them.

He had to give these people hope.

He had to give them an illusion.

Let them feel that if they work hard, they may be able to reach the same heights as the Zhang family.

As long as they have this understanding, they are not far from death. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

When the attendant next to him heard what Zhang Xiangyi said, his eyes flickered, and then he respectfully placed a document in front of Zhang Xiangyi.

"Master, this is news from the north."

"It contains notes of your majesty's actions during this period!"

"Your Majesty's actions in the court have already chilled the hearts of many people. There should be no loyal subjects on his side."

"Has our chance come yet?"

The person next to him spoke up.

This is the moment they've been waiting for.

Once the king loses the support of the people, it will be time for them to take action.

Zhang Xiangyi looked at the document handed over by the other party.

This was sent here at full speed.

And it was sent to me by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Xiangyi looked at the information above and his eyes flickered.

“When did Zhang Wei come to prominence?”

"I need all his identifying information, get it to me immediately."

"Here!"

The follower next to him nodded and left. Not long after, he found all the information about Zhang Wei.

When Zhang Wei's information was placed in front of Zhang Xiangyi's desk, the doubts in Zhang Xiangyi's eyes became even stronger.

How could this be?
Although Zhang Wei was a military general who was both civil and military.

But that's about it.

The other party does not have such great ambitions, and has even thought about entering the court.

He had never even thought of stirring up trouble in the court, but what was happening now?

He could clearly see the other party's attempt to exert power in this message.

What does the other party want to do?
I really want to be the enemy of the other party.

Or what do you want?

“There are no mistakes or omissions in the information?”

"Has Zhang Wei done anything unusual recently? Has he done anything that violates the rules of the Zhang family?"

"Also, is the Northern Trading Company managed by this person?"

"Is the secret intelligence network also in the hands of this person?"

Zhang Xiangyi's words came one after another.

It makes people around you overwhelmed.

By the time the other party reacted, Zhang Xiangyi had already finished speaking.

Zhang Xiangyi stood up from his seat with Zhang Wei's identity information in his hand.

Then he walked around the room twice.

He placed the message on the table and said to the people around him, "Send a letter to Zhang Wei."

"Let him take charge of all matters in the north. If possible, let him try to separate the Zhang family in the north from the Zhang family in the south."

"Here!"

The people around him were all surprised.

He hadn't figured out the other party's previous question.

Before he could figure out how to respond, Zhang Xiangyi had changed his mind.

See the look on Zhang Xiangyi's face.

He nodded.

Then, he immediately sent a letter to Zhang Wei according to Zhang Xiangyi's instructions.

When this letter arrives.

Zhang Wei is in the Huns' city.

Zhang Wei has been watching the actions of the Huns during this period.

And the people around him can't wait any longer.

A soldier came up to Zhang Wei with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

They have been here for a long time. If they continue to wait like this, they will really run out of ammunition and food.

We can't really exist here forever.

and also.

They had heard the conversation between General Zhang and the Hun general before.

It really scared them.

Because General Zhang decided to cooperate with the Northern Huns, the two signed a contract and even formed a gentleman's alliance.

This surprised everyone.

But they just didn't find the right time.

During this period, the Hun general kept pestering Zhang Wei, and they didn't even have a chance to ask questions.

After finally waiting for Zhang Wei to go out alone, they surrounded him, looked at him, and asked, "General Zhang, when are we going to start?"

"Yes, we have been here for three days. If we stay any longer, my skin will itch."

"If we continue to be idle like this, we will forget everything we practiced in the army."

A group of people looked worried.

The delicious fish and meat we eat here.

Plus the lack of training.

They have all gained some weight.

If they continue to grow like this, they won't be able to fight in the battlefield.

I'm afraid I can't even ride a horse.

Everyone was very worried.

They were eager for Zhang Wei to take action.

"How do you plan to proceed? Are you going to kill your way out of here, or are you going to hold the general of the Northern Huns hostage?"

"Ok?"

When everyone heard this, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

What do you mean?
When Zhang Wei came here, didn’t he already have a battle plan?

They just need to follow Zhang Wei's plan, why did it suddenly change now?
"General Zhang..."

The people around him were shocked.

They looked at Zhang Wei with fear.

I don't know why Zhang Wei said this?
But I don’t know why Zhang Wei made such a decision. Are the rumors true?
Does Zhang Wei really want to surrender to the Northern Huns?

A group of people looked terrified.

Just when they were about to speak, Zhang Wei winked at them and told them to shut up.

What on earth are these people doing?

They had just arrived at the city and hadn't even figured out the directions. How could they act rashly?
He has been talking with the generals of the Northern Huns during this period.

Already know the other party's specific plans.

Know more about their future development direction.

If he guessed correctly, the Northern Huns might use military force against the Han Dynasty during this period.

The Han Dynasty had already stockpiled a large number of troops outside this city.

It was to prevent further expansion of the Northern Huns.

Not only that.

Not far away, there is a moat.

This moat surrounds the countries in the Western Regions.

Completely cut off the connection between the countries in the Western Regions and the Northern Huns.

These two routes are now being implemented.

How could the Northern Huns not know the impact these two routes would have on them after they were built?
Once these two routes are successfully built, the impact on them will increase exponentially, and they may even die without a burial place.

They finally reached cooperation with the countries in the Western Regions and established contact with them.

He even formed a gentlemen's alliance with them and got them to agree to cooperate.

Now that the Han has done this, it is undoubtedly cutting off their retreat. How could they allow this to happen?

If nothing unexpected happens, the Northern Huns may attack the Han Dynasty during this period, and then they will face a shortage of food and fodder.

He appeared in the city of the Northern Huns in the guise of Zhang's trading company.

It is also the hope of the Northern Huns generals.

During this period, he has been discussing the issue of food prices with the other party.

We have almost finished talking about this now.

When the other party becomes impatient, it is time for them to take action.

At that time, they only need to cut off the enemy's food supply, and then burn down the warehouses in the city, leaving them isolated and helpless.

After that, we can cooperate with the soldiers outside and completely defeat the enemy.

Things like war cannot be rushed.

Take your time to plan.

And there cannot be any errors.

Once there is a deviation, there will be no recovery.

No one can bear the consequences. (End of this chapter)
