Chapter 194: Willing to die for His Majesty

As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, the ministers around him looked at Zhang Ran's tender face. The ministers looked different, with some compassion and smiles, and some sneered at him. Some of them were kinder, and they couldn't help but look at Zhang Ran with a hint of sympathy.

The most violent reaction was Dong Zhongshu, who was kneeling in front of him. His whole face turned dark when Zhang Ran spoke. Especially when he felt the puzzled gazes from the ministers around him, Dong Zhongshu's old face couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

Zhang Ran was recommended by him, and the court's etiquette was also taught by him... Dong Zhongshu naturally could not bear the blame for this unexpected situation.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The young man is frivolous and straightforward, and it's normal to have amazing actions... Let me apologize to the emperor on his behalf!"

However, before Dong Zhongshu could get up, Zhang Ran said loudly in the surprised eyes of the ministers: "I heard that last year, the general was ordered by the emperor to lead 30,000 cavalry out of the clouds, attacked the Huns, and attacked Gaoque Pass thousands of miles away, and seized them in one battle. Later, the divine weapon fell to Longxi, defeated the Huns in the field, chased Aries, King Loufan, captured thousands of enemies, millions of cattle and sheep, and restored Henan.

After this battle, the Great River (Yellow River) north and south, all returned to our Han Dynasty. It wiped out the decline of the Han Dynasty for more than 70 years, and achieved the shame of a hundred years. It restored the blood feud of Emperor Gaozu Lu, and relieved the danger of the military attack in Chang'an!

I once heard Your Majesty say: "If the enemy can do it, I will do it again. If the enemy can go, I will go again." I think that the Huns should understand and understand it in the battle in the south of the Moon! Today is different from the past. The Huns can fight, and our great Han can fight back!

I really think that wise and powerful than His Majesty, and bravery and good at fighting are not inferior to the general! With His Majesty's strategy, the general will be able to win a thousand miles away, completely defeat the Huns, and promote the power of the great Han Dynasty!"

"Haha..." After hearing Zhang Ran's words, the emperor behind the imperial case laughed happily, and the cheerful laughter spread throughout the Xuan room hall, causing the ministers to look at each other.

Hearing the emperor's laughter, Dong Zhongshu, who was about to get up, also breathed a sigh of relief, and his face returned to his previous calmness.

After laughing for more than ten seconds, the emperor slightly restrained his expression and jokingly said to Wei Qing not far below with a smile: "Zhongqing, I deeply understand Zhang Qing's words! Why do Zhongqing think?"

Wei Qing's face was as calm as before, and he slowly stood up and said to the emperor: "Qing is nothing but the effort of leading the army. If you have such a victory, it depends entirely on Your Majesty's plan. How dare you express your merits when the soldiers use their lives?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said, "Zhongqing! You are still so humble... Forget it, for nothing! I don't have trouble for you!"

As he said that, Emperor Liu Che turned his eyes to Zhang Ran who was standing straight in the hall, and smiled slightly, "Zhang Qing's words are very heart-warming! Now I have given you a good horse, a sharp sword, a bow, crossbow, spear and halberd! How about you wait for me to attack the Huns?"

When Zhang Ran heard this, he looked solemn and bowed to the emperor and said, "I wish to drive a long carriage for His Majesty, and break through the Helan Mountains! Even if you wrap the horses and corpses, you will not regret it!"

...

At the court meeting, Zhang Ran's appearance was just one of the small episodes. After this episode, the Xuanshi Hall soon returned to the main topic.

When Dong Zhongshu's memorial was circulated by officials of more than 2,000 stones, including the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, the emperor once again sought the opinions of the ministers.

After Prime Minister Gongsun Hong and Da Nong Ling Zheng at that time, the Censor, Shaofuqing and others also expressed their approval of this memorial. The three Dukes and Nine Ministers almost agreed that the cultivation of wheat should be carried out in Guanzhong and the northern counties!

However, when the emperor asked who should be responsible for promoting the sacred mai cycle, the court suddenly fell into a new round of competition.

Among the ministers, some suggested that the matter should be handed over to Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, and the Prime Minister's Office would announce it to the world and order officials from all counties and states to carry out the matter.

Some people say that this matter should be left to the Grand Priest Zheng at that time, and ordered the agricultural officials of various counties to teach the art of storing wheat, and then promote it.

There are also nominations, including the Censor, the Inner Historian, the Taipu and others. Anyone who has something to do with will want to get a piece of the pie and share the credit...

But there was no one who mentioned Dong Zhongshu or Zhang Ran's names as if these two people who offered advice did not exist at all.

It doesn't matter to Zhang Ran. Anyway, he is young and has no qualifications, so it is basically impossible to participate in such things.

However, Dong Zhongshu is a well-known wise man in the world and a well-deserved leader of the Gongyang School. He has enough personal prestige and resume. He is also one of the suggestions, but no one recommended him...

Seeing that the ministers were arguing endlessly, the emperor gradually lost his patience and directly called out: "I am willing to appoint Dong Qing as a wheat field envoy to promote wheat cyclone seeds in the counties and states. What do you think?"

Dong Zhongshu has the merit of recommending it, and he is more familiar with Sumai planting. In addition, he has a good relationship with Zhang Ran, the inventor of Sumai rotation technique.

Therefore, the emperor intended to let Dong Zhongshu take charge of this matter. First, it was to reward Dong Zhongshu's recommendation, and second, it was also to give Dong Zhongshu a chance to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

In terms of knowing people and responsibilities, and rewards and punishments, Liu Che, the emperor, did a good job. As long as you have merits and talents, you will basically be rewarded and valued.

Bu Shi tried to be a clan, Hongyang was promoted to Jia Shu, Wei Qing became a slave, and Rizhao came out of surrendered prisoners... Bu Shi was a sheep-herding sheep and eventually became the chief censor. Sang Hongyang was just the son of the Jiaren and became an important official in entrusting the orphanage. Wei Qing was only a slave to give birth to a son, and Jin Rizhao was even a prisoner... As for the achievements on the battlefield, countless people were granted titles...

Even the current prime minister Gongsun Hong used to be a pig farmer, and shepherded pigs by the sea in his forties. Similarly, Zhu Maichen was still selling firewood at the age of 40, and now he is the minister of the Shizhong... Yan Zhu, Zhang Tang, Ji An, Zhufu Yan, etc., and his background is not high. However, most of these people are in high positions and are valued because of Liu Che's promotion.

However, although Liu Che, the emperor, liked to pick talents, he did not care about talents very much. He was impulsive and angry, so he was not a generous king.

He also hates officials accepting bribes and betrayals. Once discovered, he will execute the other party without hesitation. But after killing, he will regret it. In short, this is a monarch with a very complicated personality.

As an official under his command, he must obey the laws of the court honestly and must not accept bribes, otherwise if he makes a mistake, he will not even have a chance to repent!
