Wei and Jin Cooks

Xun Fan was half lying on the bed. When he saw Zhao Hanzhang and the little emperor coming in, he lifted the quilt and was about to get off the ground. The people on the left and right hurriedly supported him to kneel down. Zhao Hanzhang and the little emperor both took a few steps and quickly stepped forward to stop them.

Zhao Hanzhang was very strong, so he took Xunfan's hand and pulled him up, then pushed him down on the bed, "You don't have to be polite, your majesty. If you work hard and salute even if you are injured, you will feel uneasy."

 The little emperor nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, he would be uneasy, "Master, please lie down, I and the general are worried about your health."

 He looked at his thigh with some curiosity on his face, "Is Taifu injured on his leg?"

 Why is the injury on the leg so serious?

Generals were slashed on their bodies during battles. Even Zhao Hanzhang was injured, so why didn't anything happen?

As the teacher and uncle of the young emperor, Xunfan knew what he was thinking at a glance. He smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I am getting older. I just can't stand being chopped on the leg."

Zhao Hanzhang: "There are many blood vessels in the thighs. It would be really dangerous if the arteries are injured."

 The little emperor just wanted to see the wound.

Xun Fan quickly glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, and quickly reached out to cover the quilt, his face turned red, "Your Majesty, I am fine now, thanks to the great general who sent the imperial doctor..."

Although the little emperor really wanted to watch, his character was destined not to make things difficult for others. Seeing Xun Fan's resistance, he put down his hand in disappointment.

Zhao Hanzhang caught a glimpse of him and stood up and said, "Your Majesty has been free from schoolwork during the period when the Tutor left. Since we are back today, why don't we give him some schoolwork and give him some homework?"

Xun Fan instantly understood that Zhao Hanzhang was giving him some time alone with the young emperor. He was so moved that he quickly bowed his head in response.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded to the little emperor, turned around and led the ministers out first. Just as the imperial doctor arrived, she called the imperial doctor to the hall to ask about Xun Fan's injury.

Ji Yuan, Xia Houren and other court officials followed, but they couldn't help but turn their ears back, trying to listen to the conversation of the three uncles and nephews in the main room.

 Zhao Hanzhang left with his ministers. Xun Zu was all excited and quickly found excuses to send away the servants around the little emperor.

The others responded, but Dong's servant refused to move. At the same time, he gave Xun Zu and Xun Fan a warning look.

General, you are so generous. Don’t push yourself too far. I have specially made room for you to whisper. Do you still dare to plot something private?

 The chamberlain Dong looked at the emperor.

The little emperor didn't want to let Mr. Dong leave. He just wanted to have some personal words with his two uncles, but he didn't want Zhao Hanzhang to be suspicious, so he said, "Let Mr. Dong stay and serve."

Xunzu was so confused that Xunfan suddenly said: "Tai Zhang, go to the study room to get a letter for me and put it in the Analects of Confucius on the rightmost shelf of the third row of bookshelves."

Xun Zu was stunned for a moment and looked at the little emperor, not wanting to go.

Xunfan gave him a warning look and said, "Go quickly, that's the lesson assigned to His Majesty."

Xunzu had no choice but to retreat.

He didn't know what his brother wanted to say to the little emperor, but he still asked his confidants to guard the doors and windows so that no one could come near.

After the Xun group left, Dong's chamberlain also bowed slightly and stepped aside to wait. This position was very mysterious. He could hear their conversation, but not hear it very clearly. Moreover, there was a gauze curtain in front of him, which was half blocking Xun's conversation. The feudal lord and the young emperor could hardly see Dong's servant, which gave Xunfan and the young emperor a sense of security.

But Chamberlain Dong could see the two people on the bed with just a slight glance.

Those who can serve in the palace for a long time must learn to hide themselves, but not completely and know nothing.

 The little emperor opened the quilt and looked at the injury on his thigh.

 The wound was covered with a soft linen cloth, which had just been applied with medicine. The wound was a little red, and the meandering needle holes and threads connected the flesh tightly, just like a centipede.

The little emperor's eyes were hot, and he asked with a choked voice: "Does it hurt?"

Xunfan covered the cloth, pulled up the quilt, and said softly: "I was only stabbed once. I heard that the general had not only sword wounds and knife wounds, but also arrows. That's the pain in the tarsus."

The little emperor wiped his eyes and said: "The general is indeed of great merit and ambition. If it weren't for her, the Jin Dynasty would have been destroyed two years ago. Even if my uncle accepts me as king, I am afraid he will be the king of the country."

Xunfan sighed, took the little emperor's hand and said: "Your Majesty has always been more transparent than the ministers and others, but it is the ministers and others who cannot let go, which is why your Majesty has always been in danger."

 The little emperor looked at Xun Fan in surprise, wondering why he suddenly said this.

Xun Fan grabbed him, glanced at Dong's servant who was hiding behind the gauze curtain, and asked in a low voice: "If your majesty is allowed to give up this supreme position and just become a rich man, will your majesty be willing?"

The little emperor's eyes lit up and he asked, "Second uncle, have you figured it out?"

 According to his ideas, he did not want to ascend the throne to be the emperor. Even if he ascended the throne, Zhao Hanzhang defeated the Huns the year before last and gave up the position to her when the north was stable.

 But he can't make the decision at all.

 He can’t decide whether he should be the emperor or not. He can’t even decide what to eat for three meals a day, let alone his own life.

 Because he gathered his old ministers under his two uncles, officials from Zhao Hanzhang's line, and neutral courtiers, they all sat in that position next to him.

 But only those who actually sit in that position know how hard it is. At present, the little emperor has not discovered the benefits of being an emperor, and he has not enjoyed the glory and authority that an emperor deserves.

Xun Fan was finally willing to take a step back. The little emperor couldn't help but burst into tears. He held his hand and nodded, "I am willing, as long as my second uncle can save my life."

Xun Fan lovingly wiped his tears and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the general is kind. As long as you don't do anything that harms the country, she will treat you well."

The little emperor nodded repeatedly and whispered: "She's pretty decent."

Xun Fan couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Yes, she has good face. In this position, good face is better than shameless. Even for the sake of face, she will treat His Majesty well, not to mention, what she is doing now , not just good noodles.”

 The little emperor's eyes were full of doubts.

Xun Fan said softly: "She asked Tai Zhang and Zeng Yue to pick me up and send us back to Luoyang safely, not for power, but to show her virtue to the ministers in the world and advocate the virtue of faith. Your Majesty has learned When we get to the Book of Han, we should know why Qin II died."

The little emperor hesitated for a moment but shook his head and whispered: "Master, I really don't know this."

Xunfan sighed and said: "Qin was too heavy on the law. The people had the system but did not obey it. The people's hearts were not united. This was caused by neglecting virtue. Therefore, as soon as the first emperor died, the world was in chaos. His descendants did not have his ability. , cannot suppress the tigers and wolves in the world, and does not benefit future generations, so governing a country should not just strengthen the law, but also govern with virtue."

"Government based on virtue is like the North Star. It lives in its place and is supported by all the stars. Now Zhao Hanzhang is the North Star." No one can shake her, this is virtue. We can’t compare to her, so we might as well let go as soon as possible so as to find a place for Your Majesty.”

The little emperor didn't understand half of these words, but he understood the second half, so he asked closely: "How to let go?" Xunfan whispered: "The solar eclipse in February, and this There have been heavy rains in March, so Your Majesty issued an edict to give up the throne to her."

He said: "She will definitely refuse when the time comes. Your Majesty, don't panic. Wait two or three days before issuing a letter of abdication. The remaining ministers will come to help you and they will definitely find a place for Your Majesty."

The little emperor agreed, feeling the anger that had been building in his chest and feeling extremely happy. After he became the emperor, he no longer had to go to court early in the morning or catch up on schoolwork until late at night.

Xunzu came back with the letter and handed it to Xunfan with both hands.

Xun Fan took it, opened it, glanced at it, and handed it to the little emperor, "Although the decision has been made, Your Majesty still has to do your homework. This is the homework I assigned you before leaving the capital. Alas, I was worried and afraid at that time. You were bothered by state affairs and were in a bad mood, so you put it away and did not go up. Now that I am back, your Majesty can send someone out of the palace to ask questions at any time if you don't understand anything."

The little emperor looked down at the dozen or so topics on the paper and a list of articles that he was assigned to memorize. He felt that his eyes were darkening. He was about to abdicate. Why was he still studying so hard?

It’s not that Xunfan didn’t notice the young emperor’s dislike of learning, but he had no choice. As an emperor, this was what he had to learn.

He also knew that he was approaching the critical point. He vaguely knew that this was Zhao Hanzhang's plan, but he didn't know. Did she want to crush the little emperor from the beginning, or did she want to test whether he could withstand the pressure and become a wise king?

　　No matter what Zhao Hanzhang's initial thoughts were, after two years, not only she saw it, but Xun Fan also saw it. The little emperor was not a qualified emperor, let alone a smart and wise emperor.

Even all the civil and military officials saw it.

Zhao Hanzhang had never threatened the emperor and had always been respectful to him. Under such circumstances, he could not withstand the heavy pressure. How could he **** power from her in the future?

 That's why Xun Fan did not dare to hand in these homework assignments to the palace before setting off, for fear that the little emperor would be overwhelmed by the homework while he was away, and he would be beyond his reach if he made a mistake.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid," Xun Fan said with a gentler voice than before, and said with a smile, "take it into the palace and think about it slowly, and read the list of books listed above slowly, there is no need to be in a hurry."

 The little emperor felt better now. He reached out to take it, folded it and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Xun Fan had nothing to say and looked at Xun Zu, "Go and invite the general."

Xun Zu agreed and asked the young emperor, "Your Majesty, would you like to go to the main hall to drink tea?"

The little emperor also felt that he had stayed in this room for too long. It would be bad if someone misunderstood that they were conspiring. He quickly got up and said to Xun Fan: "I will personally go to invite the general and listen to the imperial doctor's judgment."

Xunzu sent the little emperor out and when he was about to cross the threshold, Xunzu reached out to support the little emperor. The little emperor looked up at him in surprise.

Xunzu winked at him and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, this is for your own protection."

The little emperor used the cover of his wide sleeves to touch the cloth bag he had stuffed in. He touched a corner of something hard and there were small round things on the side. He pinched it and his eyes were slightly bright, like pearls.

 As for money, the little emperor still likes it very much.

 Zhao Hanzhang was very poor, and the treasury was also very poor.

 She has never been one to live in hardship herself and tighten her belt to make the emperor's life comfortable. Basically, when she suffers, she will drag the little emperor to suffer with her, euphemistically saying that she shares the difficulties with the country.

The name of this country is Jin, and there is no reason why the regent lives a miserable life while the emperor of his employer lives in luxury.

 So since the young emperor ascended the throne, his diet has not been as good as when he was a prince.

Although people in the palace dare not treat him badly, if he has money, he can let people buy things from outside the palace and bring them into the palace to prepare delicious food.

 Could that big, hard piece be a gold brick?

The little emperor stuffed the bag inside and happily went to the main room to see Zhao Hanzhang, "General, I have finished chatting with the Taifu."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, are you relieved?"

"I'm relieved, I'm relieved. The master is fine. Where is the doctor? I wonder when the master can go to the field?"

The imperial doctor stepped forward and replied: "It will take three more days to remove the line, and then you can walk as appropriate depending on the recovery of the wound."

He said: "The Tutor did not hurt any bones. The biggest problem is excessive blood loss. To replenish blood, we must rely on internal regulation."

The little emperor hurriedly said: "Whatever medicinal materials you need, just come from the palace."

 The imperial physician responded.

Zhao Hanzhang saw that the time was almost up, and today's goal had been achieved, so he planned to say goodbye to Xun Fan, calm his mind, and then lead the young emperor back to the palace.

So everyone followed Xun Fan to his hospital bed again. Yu Hong had many good friends, and Xia Houren was one of them. He hoped that Xun Fan would intercede for Yu Hong's family, so he hurriedly said before Zhao Hanzhang got up to leave. : "General, Yu Hong's plot to assassinate an angel is naturally a serious crime, but his family is innocent. Please forgive his family, General."

Xun Fan also hurriedly said after hearing this: "General, Yu Hong only has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is only fourteen years old. He is at the age of studying and has no knowledge of these things. Although Yu Hong has committed a heinous crime, please don't harm your family." .”

Zhao Hanzhang did not force it. She pondered for a moment and then nodded, "I will let Yuan Li try it and pardon them after confirming that they are completely innocent."

Xun Fan believed in Yuan Li, but he was also afraid of Yuan Li's methods. He quickly said: "This matter is of great importance. Please ask the general to send the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Yushitai to handle the case."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed, and when he was about to stand up, he remembered: "The Taifu once recommended someone to me to accompany the emperor as a reading companion. Is that person Yu Hong's son?"

Xun Fan blushed instantly, lowered his head and said, "Yes, he is the second son of Yu Hong, who is about the same age as His Majesty."

Zhao Hanzhang saw that his old face was red and thought that he was ashamed for mistaking Yu Hong. He quickly comforted him and said: "You know people, but you don't know their hearts. Besides, people can change. Yu Hong was so unintended by the Taifu, and we didn't expect it." Yes, Master, there is no need to blame yourself."

 Xunfan opened his mouth but was speechless.

How was he going to tell Zhao Hanzhang that the emperor he had recommended as a companion was not worthy of his name?

The really smart ones are actually the book boys around them, whose father is a servant?

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the fire with insight and squinted his eyes slightly, "Why, is there any inside story in Yu Hong's case?"

"No," Xun Fan said with shame, "It's just that the minister lamented that he didn't understand people well. General, Yu Hong is a sinner. His son is obviously no longer suitable to accompany the emperor. Let's forget about it."

 Zhao Hanzhang nodded, stood up and left.

The little emperor also quickly stood up to follow him. His movements were a little louder, and there was a slight collision sound. If it were someone else, you wouldn't be able to hear it if you didn't listen carefully. But to Zhao Hanzhang's ears, it was almost like a symphony. She turned her head to look at his Sleeves, feeling displeased, "What is in your Majesty's sleeves? Don't break it."

  She thought she was sincere, but Xun Fan didn't reciprocate her sincerity?

 Is there anything that cannot be progressed openly and openly, but must be passed on quietly?

 Two chapters, one chapter for cooperation, see you tomorrow
