Chapter 267 General, Are You Kidding Me?

For three days in a row, Liu Zhang never stepped out of the General's Mansion, and stayed by his wife's side all the time to make up for the past few years.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. In the early morning of the fourth day, news came out from the palace that all officials were required to gather in Changle Palace, and the long-interrupted court meeting was started again.

Liu Zhang didn't dare to delay, he was well aware of the great significance of this court meeting, so he arrived outside the palace early. Unexpectedly, he met Liu Yan, the father he hadn't seen for many years.

"Father!"

Liu Zhang was a little ashamed. He spent all day with his two wives, but he didn't leave the house for three days in a row, and he even forgot to see his father.

"Zhang'er, my father heard that you returned to Luoyang three days ago? Why haven't you been seen?"

Liu Zhang was even more embarrassed when he heard Liu Yan's question.

"My lord father, forgive me. My child is busy with military affairs. I wanted to visit my father in the past few days, but I didn't expect to meet him outside the palace today."

Even if Liu Zhang was killed, he couldn't say that he forgot his parents because he couldn't bear the beauty, he could only use this as an excuse.

Fortunately, Liu Zhang was originally a general of the Han Dynasty, with heavy troops in his hands! In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Zhang is indeed a busy man, because judging from his busy military affairs, it is indeed a good reason, and Liu Yan does not have too much doubt.

"Okay, my son has worked hard, and as a father, I know it. But take care of your health!"

The word "take care of your health" was originally a very kind advice, but now it sounds very strange to Liu Zhang's ears!

"Yes! Father, too! Where's mother? How are you doing recently?"

Liu Yan smiled and nodded, signaling Liu Zhang to rest assured.

"You don't have to worry about family affairs. Now that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, you have a heavy burden!"

"Yes, the child will remember his father's teachings!"

Liu Zhang's expression was a little dignified. For Liu Yan, the father, Liu Zhang felt more and more estranged.

Since Liu Zhang was promoted to post-general and moved into the post-general's mansion, it can be said that he has become more and more estranged from his parents and brothers.

Thinking that his father will soon be promoted to Yizhou Mu, and that he, the prefect of Hanzhong, does not know whether he will conflict with his father because of some decrees or other things, Liu Zhang feels inexplicably heavy!

I hope that I can repeat the mistakes of history, so that I can successfully inherit Yizhou animal husbandry! But Liu Zhang knew that this was almost wishful thinking!

Historically, Liu Zhang's eldest brother and second brother died in Chang'an because there was no threat from Liu Zhang. Now that Liu Zhang is fighting hard in Hanzhong, who would dare to easily offend this evil star?

What's more, letting Liu Zhang inherit Yizhou Mu, wouldn't that make him completely unhappy? I believe that no matter who is in power, they will clearly know this truth! "Zhang'er, I have an idea for my father, and I want to discuss it with you."

Liu Yan suddenly interrupted Liu Zhang's thoughts, and the latter hurriedly asked.

"Father, please tell me!"

"Preparing for the father to His Majesty..."

Just as Liu Yan was about to speak, unexpectedly many ministers came one after another, greeting Liu Yan and his son non-stop, and there were more and more people.

"Forget it, let's do it first."

Liu Yan felt that there were too many people, so he didn't continue talking, and turned around to chat with his friends.

Because Liu Zhang had not been in court for a long time, and because he was young, no one took the initiative to chat with him, and no ministers could regard him as a friend, so everyone was in twos and threes, but Liu Zhang stood alone in one place.

Liu Zhang didn't care about this at all. None of the ministers were young, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these old antiques, and closed his eyes to rest.

"The latter general is here to cultivate his body and mind. This old man is very envious."

Liu Zhang was taken aback for a moment, he really wanted to get close to him, he quickly opened his eyes and saw that it was Tai Fu Yuan Kai.

"Master Yuan, don't come here unharmed."

Seeing Liu Zhang bowing his hands and saluting to himself, Yuan Kai also saluted back.

"Thanks to the good words of the Empress General, the old man is not bad! I heard that the Empress General manages Hanzhong well, and he really deserves to be the leader of my big man!"

Yuan Kai's praise did not make Liu Zhang happy, but aroused his vigilance.

Ever since he met Yuan Kai, this old man has never used himself as a weapon, and he needs to be extremely careful when talking to him.

Say more and make more mistakes, say less and make fewer mistakes. Liu Zhang has already made up his mind, talk less, and naturally he won't say wrong things if he speaks less.

"Hehe, Master Yuan is being polite."

He didn't say a single word, but he didn't show any disrespect, which made Yuan Wei a little uncomfortable, as if he had been rejected.

"The latter general has really changed in the past few years!"

Yuan Kai still didn't give up, he didn't care at all that Liu Zhang didn't want to talk to him, and he was still cheeky talking to him.

"hehe."

This time it was even less, just smiled politely, and Liu Zhang just didn't give Yuan Kai any chance to continue talking.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward, even the air was filled with the smell of embarrassment!

"Ministers, go to the palace!"

Fortunately, the sharp voice of the little eunuch eased Yuan Wei's embarrassing situation. Liu Zhang smiled at Yuan Kai and walked into the hall.

Yuan Kai watched Liu Zhang leave with anger in his eyes, but he immediately calmed down and also went into the hall.

Seeing Liu Hong going to court, all the ministers knelt down and saluted, and then stood on both sides.

Liu Hong probably hadn't woken up so early for a long time, he was extremely exhausted, and had been yawning since he came to the main hall.

"My dear friends, I was not in good health not long ago, so I stopped the court for a few days in the morning. Now that my health has improved, naturally I dare not delay the court affairs any longer!"

Stopped for a few days? All the ministers except Liu Zhang couldn't help exclaiming in their hearts, is it so simple that you Liu Hong stopped for a while? Many ministers thought that they would never see Liu Hong until they died!

"In order to cope with the chaos in the world today, I specially established the Eighth School of Xiyuan. As I expected, the Prime Minister of Yizhou rebelled under the banner of the Yellow Turban!"

The ministers were dumbfounded, they knew nothing about Ma Xiang's rebellion. However, Qiqi still praised Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty is holy!"

"Hehe, this is what I should do!"

It was rare for Liu Hong to be in a good mood, and some blood appeared on his face.

He Jin stood up and asked Liu Hong a question.

"Your Majesty! I haven't heard that there are riots in Yizhou. How did Your Majesty learn about it?"

He Jin is a great general, the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses. He didn't even know about the Yizhou rebellion. How did Liu Hong know about it?

"Of course it was the general who brought the news to me!"

Liu Hong seemed to have expected that He Jin would come out to ask questions, and pointed at Liu Zhang calmly.

He Jin was annoyed, he didn't expect it was Liu Zhang again! Sure enough, nothing good will happen if you meet him!

"General Empress, are you sure about the accuracy of this news?"

Liu Zhang is really screwed up, he just found a reason for himself, but he didn't expect to be used by Liu Hong! This He Jin is really endless, how can he be sure, what if Ma Xiang hasn't started trouble yet!

But even so, Liu Zhang had to grit his teeth and admit it.

"That's right, Ma Xiang started an incident in Mianzhu, and now he is fighting against Quejian, the governor of Yizhou."

"As a general, I don't even know, how did you know?"

He Jin was very angry and blurted out the question, but he regretted it after speaking.

"Hehe, are you kidding me, General?"
