For Adou, the most nervous moment in this battle was not the moment when he learned that Shangdang was missing.

It was the moment when it was reported that Sima Yi was advancing on Jinyang and Taiyuan was in danger.

Shangdang was lost, and Hedong was still there as a barrier.

But if Taiyuan is lost again, Hedong will most likely not be protected.

Without Hedong, Chang'an would be uneasy.

In addition, the Han Dynasty had just regained Guanzhong, and the people's hearts were not yet completely attached.

If coupled with the fanning of thoughtful people, it is difficult to say that even Chang'an will be difficult to stabilize.

As for the emperor who had just moved the capital to Chang'an not long ago, if he were really forced to return to Hanzhong, he would really be like Cao Rui who visited Xuchang eastward and make the world smile.

Cao Rui did this kind of deception, so why should the mighty Emperor do it?

This emperor has a brother-in-law!

My brother-in-law is very powerful!

Fortunately, my brother-in-law is very capable.

Although this mistake in the palace's decision-making did not have serious consequences in the end, it is impossible to say that Adou has no fear.

"Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty is the king, the queen is also the king, and she is always a minister. How can a king plead guilty to a minister?"

Adou waved his hand, "There are no outsiders here, just you and me. We can't reach the sky or the earth. For now, we can put aside the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers."

As he spoke, he leaned towards Feng Yong and said sincerely:

"Before the death of the late emperor in Yong'an Palace, he left me a posthumous edict. There are words in it: You can read the Han Dynasty, the Book of Rites, take time to observe the scholars and the Six Tao, and the Shang Jun Shu, which will benefit people's minds and wisdom. I heard that the Prime Minister wrote it Shen, Han, Guanzi, six Taoists and one pass have been completed. If they are not sent away, the Tao will be lost. You can renew it yourself to seek knowledge and enlightenment."

"Although I was unwise and failed to meet the expectations of the late emperor, I did remember a little bit about Liu Tao's record: The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. Those who share the benefits of the world will gain the world; those who are good at the benefits of the world will win the world. Then you will lose the world."

"Only today do I understand why Emperor Gaozu, after taking over the world, swore the White Horse Alliance with the founding heroes."

Having said this, Adou emphasized his tone:

"It is clear that the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. This statement is very true, and I understand it deeply!"

Watching Fatty Liu chattering and rambling, Feng Yong vaguely guessed what the emperor wanted to say, but he was a little unsure.

He did not speak easily, but listened silently.

Unexpectedly, Adou said this not to perform a one-man show by himself:

"Mingwen, I have said so much, can you understand what I mean?"

Feng Duhu thought for a moment, then shook his head under Adou's eager eyes:

"I forgive you for being stupid and unable to understand the holy will."

Adou looked at Feng Yong steadily.

Feng Yong lowered his head and remained silent.

After a long time, Adou sighed helplessly:

"Mingwen, are you angry in your heart?"

"Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness. How can I dare to be angry? Isn't that a disobedience?"

If it were another emperor, Feng Duhu's appearance of being indifferent would probably have been labeled as arrogant and arrogant in the emperor's heart.

Fortunately, Adou is a kindhearted person. To put it harshly, his temperament is a little weak and his ears are too soft.

However, the advantage is that he has no suspicion, that is, he has no suspicion of his ministers.

This is probably the temperament developed from living in the shadow of my father-in-law for many years.

Not to mention that this time, it was indeed the royal decision that was wrong.

Many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with the queen.

In the past, when a strong enemy was suppressing the territory, the monarch and his ministers worked together to defend against the enemy. Naturally, no one mentioned this matter.

But now that the war is over, this matter must be resolved eventually, and the sooner the better.

The key to solving this problem undoubtedly lies with Feng Duhu.

A kind-hearted yet weak emperor not only wanted to prevent his most valued ministers from harboring grudges, but also wanted to protect his erring queen, and even tried to resolve the grievances between the two parties.

"I know that Mingwen was wronged, and it was indeed because I was not broad-minded at that time." Adou said sincerely, "When the Shangdang war started, the queen was worried day and night, restless in sleep and food, and often got up from fright at night."

"I have never seen the queen be so out of sorts in the many years since she entered the palace. Even when the late emperor passed away in Yong'an Palace and the country was in danger of overthrowing, she was able to calmly comfort me."

"It's clear that the queen and I have a romantic relationship, the meaning of the marriage, and the oath of the same acupuncture point. How about you just look at my face and expose this matter?"

Feng Yong smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty said something serious. If nothing else, how much help did the palace give you in Hanzhong and Nanzhong? How could I dare to forget?"

"Not to mention, Si Niang is my wife. As your majesty said, there is no one above the sky or one below the ground. There are only two of you, your majesty and me. Since your majesty condescends to me, I will overstep my bounds."

Feng Yong said, pointing at Adou and then at himself:

"The matter that your Majesty and your ministers are talking about is just a family matter when there are no outsiders. Since it is a family matter, what can't be discussed?"

Without the help of the royal family, how could Feng Yong have been so successful at the beginning of his business?

This was also one of the reasons why he chose to give in on the matter of Wei Yan's appointment, not wanting to cause too much trouble.

No matter what the royal family's original purpose was, it did give him a lot of help.

You can't forget your roots as a human being.

When A Dou heard this, his face relaxed and he said repeatedly:

"That's good, that's good!"

Seeing Adou's appearance, Feng Yong couldn't help but remind him:

"Your Majesty, family affairs are easy, but state affairs are difficult. Even if I keep silent on this matter, Your Majesty and the Queen still have to give an explanation to the courtiers, otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the people!"

"I know, I know!" Adou nodded. He looked at Feng Yong and held his hand. "Now that our family affairs are settled, we can have enough time to deal with state affairs!"

"Don't worry, although I am mediocre, I am by no means a person who does not know right from wrong. I will give an explanation to the officials when the time comes."

Feng Yong nodded silently: "Your Majesty already has concerns, so I am overly worried."

After talking about the business, Adou relaxed and asked with a smile:

"This time Mingwen turned defeat into victory. He not only regained Shangdang and forced Sima Yi to flee Jizhou, but also sent people to capture Hangu Pass and Shaanxi. His achievements are not insignificant."

"But I don't know what kind of reward Mingwen wants this time?"

Feng Yong quickly waved his hand: "Rewards are your majesty's right. How dare I take the initiative to invite rewards? Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!"

Different from the first time he heard "thunder, rain and dew, all are your kindness", Adou couldn't help laughing and pointed at Feng Yong:

"You talk nonsense over and over again, making it difficult for people to grasp the beginning and end. Okay, if you don't take credit, then I will make the decision myself. But when the time comes, don't have to find any excuses to refuse."

"No, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness."

"Hahaha……"

------------------

The emperor's chariot drove into Chang'an City, and the officials and people who had been waiting in the street immediately started cheering like a wave:

"Long live!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Long live is for the emperor, and long victory is for the soldiers who follow the chariot.

The Imperial Guards who were guarding the Emperor's chariot were waiting for them to pass, followed closely by the soldiers returning in triumph.

They are the protagonists of today.

Although it was early winter and the chill had arrived, the officials and the people still began to throw fruits and melons they found from nowhere to the soldiers who were marching into the city proudly.

The more daring women rushed forward with their hands, and when they saw a boy they liked, they stuffed fruits into his arms, touching a handful or taking out a handful to take advantage of them.

Seeing the actions of those women, the young lady seemed a little shy, so she just followed them and quietly stuffed a handkerchief or something.

Today, Chang'an City has regained a lot of popularity after several years of management.

More importantly, there are many caravans traveling between the grasslands, Liangzhou, and even the Western Regions.

Coupled with the Han's policy towards the barbarians in the grasslands, there were not many barbarians.

Some Hu girls who came up from the grassland couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the scene in front of them.

It is said that the Han people know etiquette and observe etiquette, but why do these women look no less restrained than us prairie women!

"What are they doing?"

Someone is already making a move.

An old woman next to her smiled and explained: "Of course it's a sign of admiration from the husband who sees me in the eye."

"Is this still possible?"
