In Tingwei's mansion, Zhang Buyu looked at the pile of bamboo slips in front of him with a dark face.

Chao Cuo stood aside proudly, grinning.

"Good Jiaotong Lieutenant knows! These are all sent by Zhang Xiang. Some of them were reported by Xiu Yi and have not yet been sorted out. Most of them have not been dealt with because of insufficient evidence. Some of them are investigations of officials.

There are not many, just in the past few years. Zhang Xiang said that Wei Ting has a great talent and can handle these and hand them over to him within ten days!"

Zhang Buyi glanced at Chao Cuo and said, "You are just a petty official, but you don't pay me a visit when you see me?"

Chao Cuo suddenly laughed, "You can tell me here when you have time. It's better to deal with these things quickly. Don't deal with them wrongly. If something goes wrong, the king can't protect you!"

Zhang Bujie didn't look afraid. He said loudly: "The Prime Minister really underestimates me!"

"With these pieces, why does it take so long?"

"I will find out within five days and hand it over to Prime Minister Zhang!"

Chao Cuo was stunned, stopped laughing, and said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense! These cases come from all over the Tang Dynasty. Even if you are in a hurry, you will have to rush for more than ten days. If you can't finish it by then, just follow me.

If Mr. Zhang admits his mistake, Mr. Zhang will definitely not blame him too much, but if you want to be tough with Mr. Zhang, then the king will not be able to protect you..."

"Oh, as a minister, you should relieve the king's worries. How can you use the king as your protection?"

"You go back and tell Prime Minister Zhang that I will definitely finish it within five days!"

Chao Cuo looked at Zhang Buyi in front of him in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy was still so tough. However, Zhang Buyi's attitude made Chao Cuo admire him very much. He leaned over and saluted seriously.

Said: "I will report to Prime Minister Zhang truthfully!"

After sending Chao Cuo away, Zhang Buyi called all the officials in the imperial court and began to take them through these pieces. He called for the corresponding embroidered clothes and began to question them one by one. He also asked the soldiers to

Be prepared to arrest people at any time.

Nowadays, the Shi people are busy in various places and have gradually become the real power in Tang Dynasty.

Ji Bu and Luan Bu were sitting in front of Liu Chang, listening carefully to Liu Chang's instructions.

"Your Majesty, set out lightly, don't we carry any baggage?"

"Hahaha, what kind of baggage are you bringing... Every Xiongnu tribe has a lot of baggage!"

Luan Bu kept asking, but Ji Bu was speechless. Both Luan Bu and Ji Bu were going with Liu Chang. Luan Bu looked a little worried. Luan Bu had not experienced war. It was his first battle and he had to fight with the king.

, he was a little worried, not for himself, but for the king's safety. As for Ji Bu, he seemed too calm.

Ji Bu used to be Xiang Yu's subordinate. During the Chu-Han War, Ji Bu made Emperor Gao uneasy. After defeating Xiang Yu, Emperor Gao immediately offered a reward for Ji Bu and wanted revenge. However, Xia Houying admired him very much.

His former enemy thought that he was a rare warrior, and upon his plea, Emperor Gao pardoned Ji Bu.

Ji Bu was the youngest among Xiang Yu's generals, about the same age as Han Xin. Among Liu Chang's servants, he was younger than Zhao Gong and much older than the others.

Moreover, he is an all-rounder and is proficient in politics and war strategies.

Historically, Emperor Wen appointed him as the governor of Hedong County. As a result, Hedong was brought under great control within a few years, and the results were amazing.

This is also the reason why Zhang Cang asked Ji Bu to follow Liu Chang. Ji Bu was a stable man, close to the Queen Mother, could suppress Liu Chang, and had military experience. As Liu Chang's deputy general, he was perfect.

.

After getting the two of them ready, Liu Chang returned to Shimu Hall, which was the main hall where Cao Shu lived.

Liu Chang smiled, but the voice had already been heard before the person arrived.

Cao Shu was busy writing something at the moment. When she saw Liu Chang coming in, she put down the pen in her hand.

Liu Chang sat next to her, hugged her, and asked curiously: "What are you writing?"

"Write a letter to the Queen Mother."

"Having been away from Chang'an for a long time, has your Majesty written to the Queen Mother?"

"Well... the country is busy..."

Liu Chang scratched his head.

But Cao Shu said seriously: "Your Majesty, how can you forget your mother when you leave the country?"

"Okay, I'll write it, I'll write it later!"

Liu Chang said proudly, then looked at the decorations in the palace and said with emotion: "Compared to my mother's Jiaofang Palace, your place is still too simple! I will definitely bring a lot of supplies to the Xiongnu this time.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty had become rich... I built a palace even more luxurious than the Afang Palace of King Qin, with wine as a pond and hanging meat as a forest..."

"Does that mean we need to build a deer platform and put all the treasures in the world in it?"

“Great idea!”

"Pa~~"

Cao Shu, who was in Liu Chang's arms, lightly patted the back of Liu Chang's head and rolled her eyes, "I heard that all the kings in the world aspire to become virtuous kings like Zhou Wu, Qi Heng, Qin Mu, but I didn't expect that your king's ambition is different.

, but he is determined to become a person like Shang Zhou and Xia Jie. It is really a good ambition!"

Liu Changdu muttered, "Why did you start hitting me on the head too?"

"Your Majesty, please don't say such words again. If others hear it, I'm afraid it will taint your reputation."

"Is there any reputation left for a widower?"

"Today is different from the past. There is a Taishi in the palace. He will record the affairs of the court and the king's words and deeds..."

"Ah? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Who is Taishi?"

Cao Shu looked confused, you, the king, don’t even know, how could I know??

Liu Chang pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "No problem, just let him remember more of my good deeds and not the bad ones!"

"Your Majesty, there once was a man named Cui Zhu who killed his king. Taishi wrote: "Cui Zhu killed his king." Cui Zhu killed this Taishi. His younger brother became Taishi and also wrote Cui Zhu.

Cui Zhu killed his king and was killed again, and the same situation continued with his third brother... Cui Zhu did not kill him. When this man came out, he met a friend. The friend told him that he had heard that several people had

He was killed and planned to go there and record the incident himself."

"If you want Taishi to record your merits, you must be a meritorious person, and you cannot achieve your own goals by forcing Taishi."

Liu Chang suddenly understood and asked, "Do you think my Taishi has a younger brother?"

"King!!!"

"Hahaha, joking~~"

Liu Chang then talked about going on an expedition, but Cao Shu still supported him as always and did not dissuade him because of the danger. For Cao Shu, going on an expedition may not be a strange thing. After all, her father has been there all his life.

campaign.

She just reassured Liu Chang that she would arrange everything in the palace so that Liu Chang would not have to worry about anything. She would prepare delicious food and wait for the king's triumphant return.

Cao Shu's words just now made Liu Chang curious about the Taishi.

After returning to the Daxuan Palace, he summoned the Taishi of the Tang Dynasty.

The Taishi came to Liu Chang. His face was long, his eyebrows were thick, and he looked very happy. Liu Chang looked at the Taishi proudly and asked, "What is your name?"

"Your Majesty, Sima, is pleased to pay homage to your Majesty."

"Sima Xi??"

Liu Chang was shocked, pointed at him and asked: "I know you! When you were the Chang'an Order, you went around arresting my friends without mercy. Did you do this?!"

Sima Xi didn't seem to be afraid at all. He said seriously: "Your Majesty remembers it very clearly. It's what I did."

"How dare you arrest my friend?!"

"This is my duty."

Liu Chang snorted coldly and said, "Then how did you become the Taishi of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Gong Gai, as a minister, sent a letter to the Queen Mother, ordering me to go to the Tang Dynasty to serve as Taishi."

"Oh, Mr. Gai invited me here...then it seems you still have some talents."

"Have you been recording my affairs these days?"

"right."

"Then what did you record?"

"Your Majesty, you cannot read it."

Liu Chang pursed his lips and asked, "Do you know the story about Cui Zhu killing his king?"

"Of course I know."

A trace of pride flashed across Sima Xi's face. Historians like them were very proud of this matter.

Liu Chang immediately said: "Since you know it, you should take it as a warning and don't end up like Cui Zhu Taishi!"

"Um???"

........

Liu Chang raised the halberd in his hand and played with it happily.
