The third year of Tianyuan.

For this brand new empire, this year is a double blessing.

The first thing is that the queen gave birth to a son for the emperor, and the mother and son were safe. Then a great victory came from the frontier. Huluguang defeated Tuoti Khan outside Hengzhou Pass, and captured countless knights and sent back the seized materials overnight.

Huluguang swears in the battle report: When he was fighting with the enemy, a strong wind suddenly blew the enemy's formation, and then stars rose in the sky, making the night like day, and the enemy was terrified and fleeing in the wind.

At this time, in the palace, Zu Ban was sitting next to the emperor holding a battle report, smiling from ear to ear.

"These old martial artists are just rude in their work!"

"It's just like the saint who came from heaven to write down the word "Defeat the Enemy". This grandfather is good, not bad!"

Zu Ban and Liu Taozi are close to each other. Even if there are some more secret things, Zu Ban doesn't avoid them and says whatever they have. This is the key to ensuring that the king and his subjects are united. They have no precautions or fears between each other.

Liu Taozi looked at the battle report, "I think it's a bit inappropriate."

"How can the achievements made by tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line be pressed on a child like this?"

Zu Ban shook his head, "General Cheqi and Cavalry are a little anxious, but the warriors in China have always been like this. If Jie Luguang dares to submit such a report, it must have been decided by himself. The people around him probably have the same idea. Besides, he is the eldest prince, and no matter how many miracles there are, it will be fine. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."

Zu Ban said, and suddenly poked his head out and looked around.

"Your Highness is still by the Queen?"

"With the Empress Dowager's side, I said I could not see any strangers, and even if I were me, I wouldn't have many hugs."

Zu Ban laughed loudly, then stroked his beard and sighed: "Sun Bizi is close. When my grandson was born, he held it in his hands all day long and did not dare to let others hug him. My grandson is more promising than his father. In the future, he may become his minister. As for my son, he will be the only one of a county magistrate in his life."

After chatting, Zu Ban moved the topic to major events again.

"Bei Hu will no longer be a threat to us in a short period of time, and the frontier will be initially stable... :..."

Liu Taozi looked at him, "Can you send troops to destroy Chen?"

"This... I still have to wait."

Zu Ban's original cultivation time was stipulated in three to five years, and now it is January of the third year, but the local situation has not changed much.

Zu Ban brought a lot of documents and piled them up.

"These are all compiled by memorials from all over the country."

Zu Ban then analyzed these rhythm tables one by one.

During the past three years, there have been changes in the local area, but it has not yet reached the level of qualitative change. The cultivation policy has been effective and has not been effective. All regions are still recovering, but it is just recovering. The taxes in many places have not been paid yet, and the roads and buildings are still in a damaged state, as for arable land.

Repairing arable land is the most difficult. The land cannot be used if it is abandoned this year and next year. Every piece of land requires great effort to cultivate it. Once it is abandoned, it will be even more difficult to pick it up. The treasury is still relatively empty.

But Zu Ban himself was not worried, "Although the results were slow, the localities no longer asked for help from Pitang as they did before. The situation in the local area had begun to stabilize, the bandits were eliminated, and a large number of deceased people returned. The people on Zhou Tu also gradually recognized the Han Dynasty. If you wait for another year, you might see a big change.

Liu Taozi shook her head and said calmly: "No obstacle, you can't be anxious about destroying Chen. This is what the ancestor told me, I'll just wait."

Zu Ban took a deep breath, his eyes flashing.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I won't wait too long, I already have some ideas...::,

When Liu Taozi saw the malicious smile on Zu Ban's face, he could probably guess that Chen Guo was going to be in trouble.

However, he didn't say much, just asked Zu Ban to let go.

After Zu Ban left the palace, he took a bus to his mansion.

There were a full armed soldier in front and behind, and there were hundreds of people. This was an exception for the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's clothing, travel, entourage, etc. were all higher than the ministers, and only lower than the emperor.

Zu Ban's mansion is also an exception. According to etiquette, the height of his mansion can reach the highest level among ministers, but Zu Ban doesn't care much about this. Since becoming prime minister, this person has restrained his bad habits, and he has not heard much about stealing and affair.

Of course, some people say it was because no one dared to arrest him.

And in his personal enjoyment, Zu Ting is still quite fucking honest!!

He was not very enjoyable, his clothes were not luxurious, his mansion was not as high as the top, and he didn't even have many servants in his home, but he just had more soldiers to protect him.

Zu Ban returned to the mansion and changed his clothes. After learning from the slave that the two guests had been waiting for him for half an hour, he went to meet with a smile.

When he arrived at the reception hall, the two guests hurriedly stood up to pay their respects.

One of them is Wei Xiaokuan.

The other person is Zheng Daoqian.

When Zu Ban didn't come back, the two of them sat in the lobby, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was unthinkable.

Zu Ban suddenly appeared, and both of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Zu Ban smiled and asked the two of them to get up, and sat in the upper position, and they sat next to him, one left and one right.

"Don't blame me, I was going to come back soon, but Your Majesty insisted on taking me to see Your Highness,

Your Highness was born with a good appearance and a look of heaven and man. He hugged him for a long time and took some time off."

Zheng Daoqian shook his head quickly, "How dare you blame me, how dare you blame me?"

"When Your Highness was born, the dragon energy gathered with the West, and the saints came from heaven to help break the Hu. This must be the master who inherited the great cause.:::"

Zu Ban didn't interrupt him, and he finished listening to his nonsense.

After the war, Wei Xiaokuan first served as the governor, and then was promoted to the court by Zu Ban, allowing him to serve in Santai and become the Minister of State. He was considered to be a poor person. Zheng Daoqian did not have much talent in government affairs, but he had to be rewarded after making great contributions, so he served in Zhaoxuan Temple, nominally managing the monks and Taoists.

The two people's official positions were not next to each other at all, and it seemed quite strange that Zu Ban summoned them at the same time.

Wei Xiaokuan made some judgment at this moment. After the two of them praising each other for a long time, he opened his mouth in time.

"The ancestor suddenly summoned us. Could it be that there is something to order?"

Zu Ban gently stroked his beard, "The domestic situation is getting better and better, and the major event of destroying Chen must be prepared."

"This time, we summoned two people to come for one person."

"oh?"

"I don't know who it is?"

"Yellow method poke."

Chen, Qin County.

The sky was hazy and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

The sound of trumpets of the soldiers came from afar again, and dogs suddenly barked in the city.

After a moment, the people walked out of the door again. They didn't look so panicked, and they took farm tools to the farmland.

Although he was responsible for the entire border defense, there was no sign of much depression in the city, everything was so quiet and harmonious.

Huang Faku is now in Qin County and is in charge of the entire Jiangbei defense.

Huang Fabao did a very good job here. On the one hand, he strengthened training, established a guard network, strictly investigated the whereabouts of missing warships, and prevented smuggling from north to south. Although he could not intervene too much in terms of people's livelihood, it also played a significant role in prohibiting soldiers from going to the people and informing local officials to use polite governance.

Under his governance, Jiangbei's defense line became stronger and stronger day by day.

The sky was already completely bright, the people began to work, and the whole city became busy.

On the road, a child began to run back and forth, holding snacks from somewhere in his hands and singing nursery rhymes.

"There is mystery in the sky, the earth has yellow in the earth, and the law of heaven and earth, and the river is under control~~"

"The flying general is here, the troops are strong, and the Hu will not pass, and the country will not be destroyed~~

The nursery rhymes rang everywhere. Several craftsmen who were working in the restaurant at the door of the restaurant heard the children singing songs passing by in the distance. One of them stood up and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"What are these kids singing? Why are they so strange?"

"I don't know, it's been singing all over the world recently, it sounds like General Huang."

They were busy, and a servant walked out of the restaurant, handed water to several people, and everyone was eating water.

Still talking about the nursery rhyme.

The servant smiled and said, "Isn't this just singing General Huang? General Huang guards the river, and the Hu people cannot cross it!

The country will not perish!”

He couldn't help but praise: "General Huang is really a pillar of the country. After he came to guard, the local soldiers did not violate them, and the officials did not dare to be arrogant. He also inspected all day long and was very good to us. It is an honor for all of us to have such a general in the country!!"

The craftsmen also nodded, General Huang was indeed very good.

"It's okay to sing again!"

Everyone praised it for a long time and then continued to work.

The adults ignored it and just smiled when they heard these nursery rhymes.

But many people can't laugh.

This includes Huang Fapu himself.

Huang Fapu quickly discovered something strange. At the same time, a large number of nursery rhymes appeared from Lianghuai to Jiangnan.

He hurriedly summoned everyone from the devil to discuss the matter.

Everyone has different opinions on the issue of nursery rhymes.
