Han Shitou sent Song Zhen out.

"It's bitterly cold in northern Xinjiang, so Song Gong should bring more clothes."

He stopped and smiled.

Song Zhen turned around and glanced at the Liyuan, "Your Majesty, have you been in there lately?"

Serving ministers would not ask this question because they knew the emperor's movements.

Han Shitou nodded, "Yes."

Song Zhen was disappointed, "Hey!"

A gentleman, an emperor, you sit in a pear garden singing and dancing all day long, what is this?

Song Zhen asked softly: "Whose job is this?"

He turned and left.

Han Shitou watched him go away.

He said softly: "Gong Turtle!"

…

Liang Jing was reporting something to the emperor.

"...after the King of Yue left southern Xinjiang, there was some incompatibility between Shi Zhongtang and Zhang Chumao."

"Why?"

There was a conflict between the two giants in southern Xinjiang, but the emperor looked relaxed.

Liang Jing said: "Shi Zhongtang wanted to launch a large-scale attack on the rebels and then attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

He glanced at the emperor. According to the rules, any foreign attack without the emperor's approval would be an act of transgression.

The emperor's attitude determines the distribution of power between the two giants in southern Xinjiang.

I support Zhang Chumao.

Still supporting the imperial concubine’s so-called adopted son, Shi Zhongtang.

The emperor said calmly: "I am aware of this matter."

Han Shitou swore that Shi Zhongtang did not report the attack on the Southern Zhou Dynasty to Chang'an.

The emperor endorsed him with the intention of attacking Zhang Chumao.

He thought of the father-in-law.

Liang Jing also knew what the emperor meant, "Zhang Chumao objected and wanted to maintain the status quo. There were frequent conflicts between the two. Shi Zhongtang once raised a eucalyptus and threw it at Zhang Chumao, but luckily he avoided it."

The eucalyptus table is very heavy, so it is often lifted. Being able to pick it up and hit people with it shows Shi Zhongtang's bravery.

The emperor coughed noncommittally, "My adopted son is too impulsive!"

Han Shitou raised his eyes suddenly, then lowered his eyes.

The imperial concubine's recognition of Shi Zhongtang as her adopted son was more like a joke and no one took it seriously. But at this moment, the emperor endorsed it again.

My adopted son!

Is the emperor's adopted son someone you, Zhang Chumao, can comment on?

"Tell the abbot, Zhang Chumao, to be too domineering!"

"yes."

These words will not be transferred to Zhang Chumao, but will only stop at the state abbot.

——Prince of the State, I feel that you have been a bit domineering recently!

The emperor suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor recently gathered a group of powerful families to start a war with the Zhou family?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people." Han Shitou followed.

"Yes! There are quite a few people!" The emperor looked calm.

The appeal of the state leader was so powerful that it made the emperor afraid, so there was a scene where the emperor endorsed Shi Zhongtang.

I am dissatisfied!

Be more restrained!

Otherwise, I don't mind driving your son-in-law out of his position as the military envoy of Southern Xinjiang.

"Shi Zhongtang is young and Zhang Chumao is a veteran. We must cultivate talents for Southern Xinjiang. Don't be lazy!"

"yes."

——Zhang Chumao should give more power to Shi Zhongtang!

Otherwise, it is just greed for power!

In this case, he should be begging for his bones as an old man.

The emperor's words must be carefully savored to understand their meaning.

With this endorsement, Shi Zhongtang could become domineering in southern Xinjiang and sideline Zhang Chumao.

The power structure in southern Xinjiang has changed since then.

The emperor then went to change his clothes.

Mrs. Guo and the imperial concubine were talking together.

"That Shi Zhongtang is so lucky that he is valued by His Majesty. Alas! Hongyan, if you hadn't accepted him as your adopted son, he wouldn't be as lucky as he is today."

But no, if the imperial concubine hadn't adopted Shi Zhongtang as her adopted son, Shi Zhongtang would now be the general of Southern Xinjiang, but he could not be the deputy envoy of Jiedu.

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "That is your Majesty's order!"

In an instant, Mrs. Guo Guo felt chills all over her body.

…

Han Shitou knew this very well... The imperial concubine seemed to be charming and innocent, but she knew how to proceed and retreat.

Such a concubine, who knows her way around and knows how to advance and retreat, took a border general as her adopted son. Who gave her the courage?

That was the emperor's hint.

The abbot and his gang wanted to expand in the army, so they arranged for his son-in-law Zhang Chumao to go to southern Xinjiang. The emperor kept Zhang Huan, the military governor who wanted to return to Chang'an, in southern Xinjiang.

The mind succeeds.

Then, knowing that there was no way out in southern Xinjiang, the abbot arranged for Zhang Chumao to go to northern Xinjiang... Who knew that after the First World War, Zhang Chumao's reputation was ruined in northern Xinjiang, and he had no choice but to return to southern Xinjiang.

Zhang Huan would eventually come back, so the emperor took a fancy to Shi Zhongtang, who had a weak background and was innocent, and hinted that the imperial concubine would adopt him as his adopted son, just to contain Zhang Chumao today.

The concubine unintentionally uncovered this kind of trick, which was so subtle that it was shocking.

The emperor is back.

The accompanying maid looked shy, but Han Shitou knew that the emperor had been powerless recently. The so-called shyness was just to gain face in front of his companions.

——I serve the emperor to pee, and the emperor is attracted to me!

This is showing off.

That's right.

But the palace maid ignored the glances from the two women.

The Imperial Concubine and the Lady of Guo State.

The emperor sat down and asked, "What has Saburo been busy with recently?"

Han Shitou said: "After the Yue Dynasty's meeting, I studied in the mansion."

The emperor nodded, "Sanlang acted steadily. I am very happy. I appreciate this jade as I wish."

"yes."

"What is Erlang doing?"

…

"I have a stomach ache!"

Sister Huang was lying on the bed, staring.

"The doctor said that this is a problem you have imagined in your mind. If you don't think about it, it won't hurt."

King Wei was persuading him kindly by the bedside.

"The doctor must be a quack."

"That is the most outstanding doctor in Chang'an. He didn't want to come, but I grabbed him and carried him all the way back. Later I have to go to Jinwu Guard to explain..."

"Husband, second brother..."

"you say."
