Jinyang.

Zhaodeokgung Palace.

Gao Yan was sitting in the upper seat, and Gao Guiyan, King of Ping Qin, was sitting beside him. There was no one around. Gao Yan even held the other person's hand, which seemed particularly intimate.

"These people will no longer be allowed to disobey His Majesty's orders in public."

Gao Guiyan said loudly, his face extremely solemn.

"These people, relying on the merits of their ancestors, dare to be so rude to Your Majesty. I will send people to collect evidence of their crimes and kill a few of them to shock them!"

"King Ping Qin doesn't have to be like this."

Gao Yan said: "With your words, I feel at peace."

Looking at Gao Yan's pleased eyes, Gao Guiyan cleared his throat and then said: "Your Majesty, they disobey the emperor's order and must not be leniently lenient. However, I believe that their concerns cannot be ignored."

The smile on Gao Yan's face froze slightly.

Gao Guiyan added: "Your Majesty, no matter what you say, Liu Taozi is a Han after all. Let a Han sit at the border fortress with heavy troops. Of course, I know that Liu Taozi is a loyal minister, and I also know that his father is in Yecheng. I will definitely not do it."

What the rebel ministers are worried about is that these Han people will get hold of the military power."

"Has Your Majesty forgotten about Yang Min?"

"The Han people can be reused and promoted, but they cannot be allowed to control the army."

"When Yang Min held the King of Jinan hostage, deposed the nobles, and tried to change the state structure and use Han people to occupy our country, he was the prime minister. He had no soldiers and was easily captured by us."

"But if these people are allowed to have military power, and another Yang Min comes out in the future, with a name and a large army, how should we deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, please think carefully and don't rush to appoint or remove Han people as generals of the town. If your Majesty favors Liu Taozi, you can make him a prefect or governor in the Central Plains, or even serve as a minister in the dynasty, but you should not let him be in charge.

"soldier"

Gao Yan's brows twitched and he asked, "Is King Ping Qin worried that Liu Taozi will collude with the wealthy clan and take the government hostage again?"

"They are all Han! They must collude!"

"Then when Liu Taozi was in the Central Plains, he killed these rich people and shed blood in rivers. How can they collude?"

"Your Majesty, there is no one else here, I will make it clear."

"How many Chinese people are there in the world? There are millions of people. How many Han people are there? There are more than tens of millions!"

"At present, these tens of millions of Han people are all civil servants, and the military power is in the hands of the people. There is no need to worry about it. But if we start this way, in the future, Han people will be soldiers and Han people will be generals. There are tens of millions of Han people. Da Qi can still belong to my family.

Daqi?!"

Gao Yan's face became extremely heavy at this moment. He looked at Gao Guiyan coldly and suddenly asked: "King Ping Qin, there is something I want to ask you."

"only."

"If I just want to reuse these Han people, will King Ping Qin be willing to continue to follow me, or will he choose a British master?"

Gao Guiyan was horrified and quickly knelt down, "Why did your Majesty say such a thing!!"

"I am loyal to Your Majesty!!"

"Your Majesty, minister."

Seeing that Gao Guiyan was so frightened that he lost his composure, Gao Yan just said: "You don't have to panic, joking."

"I have given up my mind about Liu Taozi. He is not a Han. His family has assisted my family for generations. In terms of relationship, he is much closer than those in the court. I personally gave him a name from his country, so how can he be considered a Han?"

"No need to say more!"

Gao Guiyan pursed his lips and had no choice but to agree.

The two of them talked for a few more words, but Gao Guiyan was unwilling to stay any longer. After saying a few words, he turned around and left.

When Gao Guiyan walked out of the hall and came to the door, he met Gao Zhan head-on.

Seeing the high-spirited Gao Zhan, Gao Guiyan hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss with you."

Gao Zhan is different from the serious Gao Yan. He is much more relaxed and relaxed in terms of appearance, posture, and clothing. He is not a rigid person.

He tilted his head and looked sideways at Gao Guiyan in front of him, "What's important, Your Majesty?"

Gao Guiyan knew this man's behavior and was not angry. He just said, "Your Majesty, you are also here because of Liu Taozi's affairs, right?"

"Your Majesty wants to promote a Han to be a general. This is absolutely impossible."

Gao Zhan was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What does King Pingyuan say about this matter?"

Gao Guiyan's face immediately turned red, "How can Liu Taozi be compared with Prince Pingyuan? Prince Pingyuan's mother's surname is Lou! He is the nephew of the Queen Mother!!"

"Oh, if you marry a daughter of the Lou family, you are not considered a Han Chinese?"

Gao Zhan laughed again.

"That's easy to handle. Wouldn't it be better to let my mother find a daughter to marry him?"

Gao Guiyan was furious, ignored Gao Zhan in front of him and walked away.

Gao Zhan watched him leave coldly, snorted coldly, and walked quickly into the hall.

"Brother!!"

Gao Zhan saluted, then smiled and sat next to Gao Yan, "I just came in and met Gao Guiyan. This guy wants me to advise you not to use that Liu Taozi!"

Gao Yan took a deep look at his brother, "What do you think?"

"Oh, my brother is a king, how can he let these people cover the sky with just one hand?"

"It doesn't matter who the Han people are, they are all members of our own family, so just use them!"

"My brother is not just their emperor. Aren't these Han people his subjects?"

Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Gao Yan was overjoyed. He took his younger brother's hand and said, "Among all the clan members, you are the most talented and virtuous."

"Zhan, you are right. How can the emperor be held hostage by these people?"

Gao Zhan smiled and nodded.

Gao Yan suddenly said: "Now that I have defeated Xi Ren, I am no longer considered the new king. Many major matters can be taken care of slowly."

"Zhan, I plan to let you stationed in Yecheng as the right prime minister, and guard Yecheng for me in the future to scare Xiaoxiao."

"Tomorrow, I will prepare a formal order to reward the generals and announce the news. In addition, I will also canonize the prince."

"Okay, brother, I'll be there tomorrow."

Gao Zhan was suddenly stunned.

He still had a smile on his face.

"Canonize the crown prince?"

"Yes, it's time to confer the crown prince title. Zhan, from now on you must guard Yecheng well, don't waste time, study more, improve your abilities, and assist the prince in the future. Do you understand?"

Gao Zhan was silent for a long time, then laughed, "I understand."

Gao Yan gave many more instructions before letting Gao Zhan leave.

After walking out of the palace, Gao Zhan still had that habitual smile on his face. Until he returned to his mansion, at this moment, the smile on his face finally disappeared.

"King!"

A trusted aide hurried forward, Gao Zhan knocked him over with a punch, and then rode on the man, punching and kicking him. Everyone did not dare to persuade him and looked at this scene in horror.

"I'm so loyal!!"

“I’m so helpful!!”

"How dare you?! How dare you bully me like this?!"

Gao Zhan looked like a madman, as if he was possessed by Emperor Wenxuan. He continued to beat him regardless, his fists were bloody. The crony in front of him had been beaten to the point where he was lying on the ground, bloody and bloody.

Gao Zhan gasped for air, and no one dared to come forward. He Shi, who came after hearing the news, pushed aside everyone and rushed to the innermost place. He quickly picked up the silk cloth, wrapped Gao Zhan's hand, and cried:

"Your Majesty! How can you hurt your hand? If you are angry, just chop me with a knife! Don't hurt yourself!!"

Seeing He Shikai crying bitterly in front of him, Gao Zhan slowly calmed down his anger.

He stood up with the support of He Shikai, and they walked into the inner room together.

He Shikai lowered his head to treat his wound, but Gao Zhan said coldly: "I was deceived."

"What kind of crazy person dares to deceive the king?!"

"Ever since I was little, I have obeyed his advice and done the best I could. I never thought that I would end up like this."

He Shikai trembled, as if he knew who Gao Zhan was talking about.

"Your Majesty, you."

Gao Zhan suddenly pulled him up and looked him straight in the eyes, "You, you go now to King Ping Qin's house and tell me that I will hold a banquet for him tonight!"

"Lower your attitude. If he humiliates you, you have to endure it!"

He Shikai hurriedly said: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely invite him to come. If he doesn't want to, I will die in his house!!"

He Shikai turned around and left.

Gao Zhan sat where he was.

At this moment, his views on everything suddenly became different.

What the nobles said is not unreasonable.

"His Majesty."

"My son is naughty and ignorant. Fortunately, His Majesty loves him, but he occupies a high position in vain."

After Gao Zhan, the third minister who came to the palace was Liu Taozhi.
