The Queen Mother issued a new policy, but she no longer forced ministers from various places to rotate among themselves. After fully listening to Liu Hou's suggestions, the Queen Mother made a lot of concessions to her original ideas.

To increase the attractiveness of the temple, the lower-level officials in the country are rotated, and the middle-level officials are assessed. Those who have meritorious service will go to other countries to hold higher official positions, and those who have failed will be removed. At the same time, for those upper-level ministers, such as the state minister,

Servants and lieutenants were rotated through recruitment to temples and promotions.

Liu Hou, who helped complete all this, is currently playing chess with Chen Ping.

The two of them sat under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, not talking, but just playing chess continuously. Neither of them seemed to hesitate or even think about it. After one person played chess, the other hurriedly followed up, very fast.

"Chen Hou Shanyi presses hard everywhere... much more powerful than ten years ago."

Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Where can I compare to Liuhou? Liuhou Shanyi is a man who can do two things at once. He is truly amazing."

"Sigh... I'm old, I'm all old... No matter how smart a person is, it's easy to make mistakes when he gets old." Zhang Liang suddenly sighed.

Chen Ping glanced at him and said, "Although the Queen Mother has abolished punishment for words, you criticize the Queen Mother so much... This cannot be easily forgiven."

"When a chess player finds that he has lost his opponent, he becomes aggressive, impulsive, and cruel, and thinks that he has a chance to win, then he is not far from failure."

"The chess players may be fine, but the chessboard and the chess pieces... are going to be in trouble."

Chen Ping stopped his hand and said, "If Liu Hou still has other intentions, then please come back. I am stupid and cannot achieve great things with Liu Hou."

Zhang Liang laughed loudly, "I have no intention of making a big deal... The matters of temple, family and country have nothing to do with me... I came here this time just to visit my two sons. Next, I will travel

Everywhere, concentrate on seeking the Tao, and no longer pay attention to this worldly matter..."

"Then you'd better go now...if you leave too late...I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you."

The two of them continued to play chess faster and faster without speaking.

"Oh! What are you doing here? Father Zhong is here!"

A loud shout broke the atmosphere in the house. Chen Ping and Zhang Liang turned their heads together, only to see Liu Chang standing not far away at some point, watching their game.

"Your Majesty? When did your Majesty come?"

"Ahem, we have a distinguished guest at home, and I want to borrow some wine from Chen Hou. I saw Chen Hou playing a game with Liu Hou, and I didn't want to disturb him. I just saw how exciting your game was, and I couldn't help it..."

Chen Ping's face darkened, and I asked him why the wine at home kept disappearing for no apparent reason.

But Zhang Liang laughed and said, "Since your Majesty likes it, why not just watch from the sidelines."

Liu Chang nodded, grinned, and stood aside to watch.

"Wrong move! Wrong move! Play here! Oh my, can you play chess?!"

"No, what are you doing here? Didn't you see? Oh my god, do you know how to do it?"

"Hey, yes, that's it!!"

Chen Ping had a dark face, put away his hands, and looked at Liu Chang, "How about the king come?"

Liu Chang shook his head, "I'm not very good at it, so you guys should do it."

"Then the king will watch quietly without disturbing you."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore!"

Chen Ping played chess again. Liu Chang stood aside, winking, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes nodding. Chen Ping looked at him from time to time, furious. When he realized it, he had already lost.

"Father Zhong, you can't do it, you can lose even this??"

Chen Ping suppressed his anger, looked at Zhang Liang, and said, "If you feel unwell, please try another day."

Zhang Liang didn't seem to be unhappy at all when Liu Chang disrupted the situation. He was not disturbed at all. He smiled and stroked his beard, "Chen Hou, you will always encounter various changes when playing chess. If you get angry easily, then

You can’t win.”

Liu Chang nodded, "Yes, yes, look at the people Liuhou, they are all Chehou, how come they can't afford to lose so much?"

That is, Chen Ping, if it were Yuzi who did not want to reveal his name, he might be able to use the chessboard to smash the heads of Zhang Liang and Liu Chang. Of course, if the beating lasts too long...

"Does your Majesty have anything else to do??"

Chen Pingping asked with a straight face.

"Yes, yes, Father Zhong, it's like this...it happens that both of you are here...I want to ask about something important."

Liu Chang sat down, looked at them seriously, and said: "The Yuezhi are fighting against the Huns, and the Yuezhi people are not Moton's opponents... The tribes of the Yuezhi will move to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the king of the Yuezhi will soon move to Tang Dynasty."

Come to Chang'an in person...how can I dismantle the Yuezhi's power without harming the peace?"

"The king wants to ask, how to disperse the Yuezhi without causing the Yuezhi King to lose his heart?"

"right!"

Liu Chang said with a smile: "It's not that I doubt King Yuezhi, it's just that when they gather together, they are always outsiders. Only when they are scattered throughout the Tang Kingdom can they become the common people of the Tang Kingdom... There are more than 400,000 Yuezhi people. If

If we don’t let them become Tang people as soon as possible, in a hundred years they will become a serious problem for the Tang country.”

After hearing what Liu Chang said, Chen Ping still had a straight face and said nothing.

Zhang Liang said: "This is not difficult. If the king is worried about this, he can follow the example of the Queen Mother."

"Poison the Yuezhi King?"

"Ahem!!"

Zhang Liang coughed violently, and was also frightened by Liu Chang's unobtrusive talk. "Recruit the ministers of the Yuezhi under his command, reward their warriors, let them read and write, and assign them to various places as minor officials! Divide them."

People, teach them farming, encourage intermarriage..."

Zhang Liang said many methods, Liu Chang took them seriously in his mind, and then looked at Chen Ping aside, "Father Zhong, don't you have any suggestions?"

"I'm stupid, I can't even play chess well, how dare I talk about big things!"

"What are you saying, Father Zhong? If Father Zhong is stupid, what about the important officials in the temple?"

Liu Chang coaxed a few words, but Chen Ping said calmly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter at all. The key to solving this matter is King Yuezhi, and Your Majesty has always stayed away from virtuous ministers and loved villains.

, and the barbarians are in harmony, I think the Yuezhi King is also willing to be on good terms with the king... As long as the Yuezhi King can obey the king, then dispersing his tribe is not a problem at all. "

"After the Qin State recovered the barbarians, it also appeased its king and set up more barbarian roads in the Long region to allow them to settle down. It also sent Qin people to migrate from time to time... Your Majesty, do you think there are still the original barbarians in the Long region?

The same is true for Tang State..."

According to Chen Ping, the Tang State and Yuezhi, that is, barbarians meeting barbarians, will definitely get along very happily, and there will be no trouble at all. Under the military merit system, any barbarian can become a part of the Tang Dynasty, allowing Yue to

The king of the clan fights together, lets his soldiers gain military honors, and then gives them land in various places and divides them. It's that simple.

Liu Chang thanked his two father-in-laws seriously, thanked Chen Ping for the wine, and then left here with a smile.

"Your Majesty has offended all the officials at home and abroad. If you still stay in Chang'an, there may be great trouble in the future."

"The Tang Dynasty was so powerful that it was on the other side after all."

Zhang Liang suddenly sighed.

Chen Ping snorted coldly, "You want to live in seclusion, but you insist on letting me come to swim in muddy waters? What's the point of this?"

.........

The distinguished guest that Liu Chang wants to entertain is King Yan Liu Bi.

Liu Bi and Liu Chang are also very close. Liu Bi does not get along very well with the other clan members because of his personality. Liu Bi is martial and has a somewhat arrogant personality. He always looks down on others. Only Liu Chang has the same chemistry with him.

The feudal states are close to each other, and they often support each other and have a close relationship.

"Sir... they have gathered recently and stopped looking for me. Oh, isn't it because I promised the Queen Mother first? But what about them? Do they dare not to agree?"

"They themselves agreed, but they wanted to blame me for not having a stand... I am different from them, I am not that hypocritical. They don't love me, and I don't care. If we hadn't resisted the Huns, how could they have been able to sit still?

The throne?”

Liu Bi was very unhappy and angry because of the alienation of his clan relatives, but Liu Chang couldn't say much.

"It's okay, brother... let's not talk about these things. I have treasured this wine for many years. Come and drink it together!"

The two brothers were drinking, and Liu Chang asked everyone to leave, leaving only Jia Yi and Zhang Buyi to accompany him. Liu Bi was someone who couldn't hide things. After taking a few sips of wine, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the clan

Among them, I am the closest to you, and I also know what your Majesty is capable of, so I am very impressed! If your Majesty has any instructions, I am willing to obey you!"

Zhang Buyi was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, I invited my brother to drink this time because I really want my brother to help me with something!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Liu Bi was about to get up, but Liu Chang grabbed him and said, "It's not a big deal. When Donghu was strong, it humiliated the Xiongnu. Later, it was defeated by Maodun. Hundreds of thousands of people became slaves of the Xiongnu.

Yan abroad built a city to enslave these Donghu tribes...I heard that they graze here and have nearly a million livestock!!"

"Now, Maodun is on an expedition to Yuezhi, and the rest of the soldiers are defending Yanmendai and other places in Yunzhong, our country in Tang Dynasty... I want to send troops with Yan State to attack this city and rob its livestock! With these nearly one million livestock, we

It can be divided equally, half for the Yan State and half for the Tang State, what do you think, brother?!"

Liu Bi was overjoyed and shouted: "Okay! In these years, the Huns have bullied our country and often looted, which has made me miserable. I have long had the idea of ​​sending troops. If the king can help, we will attack together. However,

, this splitting thing is absolutely impossible, our Yan country is weak, and the number of soldiers we can recruit is only 30,000, so the supplies obtained, your Majesty can share with me 30%!"

"Hahaha, I and my brother are close relatives. It would be better if Tang and Yan could do the same, communicate with each other without barriers, and be as close as one country!"
