Chapter 0344: Pingxi XIII

Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Deyang Palace.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

"Zhong Aiqing is flat"

"Long live thanks."

The ministers looked up at Liu Hong and couldn't help but be a little excited, you must know that Liu Hong has been unwell recently, and he has not been to the court for almost half a month, and the ministers were very uneasy in their hearts, but now that they see that His Majesty is safe and sound, many people's eyes can't help but be a little moist.

Gao Wang's sentence "Something to play, nothing to retreat" shouted the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was sour, and he couldn't shout it.

Although Liu Hong's face was a little pale, but fortunately, his spirit was not bad, of course Liu Hong knew that this period of time was hard, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Gao Wang and others were waiting by his side day and night, where could he bear to blame Gao Wang, he raised his hand and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, what is the matter, let's play them one by one." ”

Recently, there have been a lot of national politics, but Liu Hong's illness has not yet recovered, how dare the ministers let His Majesty work too hard? But how dare the ministers of the state waste it privately? I had to look at the general He Jin.

He Jin looked at Liu Hong's appearance and sighed in his heart, this bad news is really unspeakable, it's better to say some good news.

He Jin said loudly with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an, and the minister has a great joy."

Liu Hong raised his eyebrows, and when he heard about the happy event, he seemed to have recovered a little blood on his face, "Why are you happy?" ”

He Jin said loudly, "Your Majesty, General Peng Yu was ordered to go to Xiliang to quell the chaos, and the army was only a few dozen days, and the south of Weishui has been controlled by the general Hou, not only that, but the general also raised the prestige of our army, and broke more than 100,000 soldiers next to Weishui. ”

Liu Hong said loudly with a smile on his face, "Good, good, good!" ”

The ministers were also full of joy when they heard this, you must know that the recent Han Dynasty is not very peaceful, the Yellow Turban and Karasuma coalition forces are in turmoil, and the courtiers have long been anxious about this, and now they are full of joy when they learn that the chaos in Xiliang is gradually subsided.

For a time, the monarch and the ministers were happy and beaming.

Everyone was reluctant to interrupt this rare joyful atmosphere, and the sycophants in the court did not speak for half a month, for a while, where could they stop, a mouthful of His Majesty was wise, and a mouthful of His Majesty Shengming made Liu Hong also energetic, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

After a long time, Liu Hong suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "The generals have always been used to surrendering and rebelling, but I don't know how much they surrendered this time?" ”

He Jin was stunned when he heard this, his face was a little unnatural, he really didn't expect His Majesty to ask about it, he looked at His Majesty in a daze but didn't speak.

Liu Hong laughed: "General, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, could it be that Peng Xiaozi collected tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers for me?" ”

He Jin shook his head helplessly and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this time, the general led the army to Xiliang to quell the chaos, for some reason, it changed from usual, and the more than 100,000 Qiang army next to Weishui were all beheaded, and no one survived!" ”

"Hiss" The ministers in the court couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, and looked at He Jin in a daze, and even the smile on His Majesty Liu Hong's face stiffened a little.

Liu Hong couldn't believe it, and couldn't help asking, "No life?" ”

He Jin stubbornly said: "There is no life left!" ”

Liu Hong was stunned for a long time when he heard this, for the sake of the problem of taking prisoners, Peng Yu was not less trained, but now, in the battle of more than 100,000 people, not a single soldier has been surrendered, which is too unacceptable for Liu Hong.

Not only Liu Hong, but also the ministers are a little difficult to accept, you must know that the Han has always regarded itself as a state of etiquette, and the people outside the country have always shown the demeanor of a great country, and they are rarely killed, but Peng Yu's battle this time is undoubtedly a bloody massacre.

Seeing that Liu Hong seemed to be a little shocked and inexplicable, the ministers immediately whispered about the matter, and slowly the whisper evolved into a loud voice, and finally a fierce controversy broke out in the Deyang Palace.

He Jin was a little unprepared for this, and he didn't even understand why such an exciting piece of good news could form three voices in the DPRK and China in a short period of time.

The first is of course the pro-Peng faction headed by He Jin, who thinks that Peng Yu's trip to raise the prestige of our Han army, kill more than 100,000 rebels, and deter the entire Xiliang, this is a miracle and should be rewarded!

The second kind of anti-Peng faction headed by Dong Chong thinks that Peng Yu's killing is too much, and he has a deep hatred with the Qiang people, I am afraid that the Qiang people will not be able to surrender again, so Xiliang will never have peace, this is Peng Yu's crime alone, and he should be punished!

The third kind of centrist headed by Yuan Kui believes that although Peng Yu killed too much, it was the Qiang rebellion first, as for the killing of more than 100,000 Qiang soldiers, the court should thoroughly investigate the matter, whether it has to be killed, or just indiscriminately killed, if it has to be killed, it should be a great achievement, if it is indiscriminately killed prisoners, Peng Yu should be punished, otherwise it will damage the national body of a great country.

Originally, there were only two voices in the court, and the waist of the general He Jin was naturally much thicker than Dong Chong, so Dong Chong's voice was firmly suppressed by He Jin, but he didn't expect that just when Liu Hong was about to reward Peng Yu, Yuan Kui actually stood up and showed His Majesty a centrist attitude.

Yuan Kui is worthy of being an old minister, and the timing of the speech is good, just after He Jin and Dong Zhong made their own speeches, Liu Hong fell into contemplation.

At that time, one positive and one negative remarks had just entered Liu Hong's ears, Peng Yu's trip was neither right nor wrong, and Liu Hong would also be biased towards the general He Jin, but Yuan Kui made a statement at this time, but there was one more choice between right and wrong, so Liu Hong was of course biased towards the centrist Yuan Kui's remarks.

Liu Hong was also very surprised by Peng Yu's behavior in his heart, and when he heard Yuan Kui's words, he didn't have time to think about it and waved his hand and said, "Yuan Aiqing is reasonable, this matter should be thoroughly investigated before making a conclusion, since this matter was proposed by Yuan Aiqing, Yuan Aiqing should go to investigate it thoroughly." ”

Yuan Kui was overjoyed, "The minister's decree." ”

As soon as Yuan Kui's words fell, Liu Hong suddenly felt a little unwell, frowned and said, "I'm tired, I'll discuss it another day, and retreat." ”

He Jin was stunned and watched His Majesty leave, he really didn't understand that such a great thing had ended up like this, but His Majesty's holy decree had been issued, and he had no choice but to accept it.

Inside the Hehuan Temple.

"Your Majesty, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Han Dynasty has not been completely quelled, how can you fight everywhere at this extraordinary time? The minister thought that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a problem for the henchmen, and the chaos of the border troubles was just a small disease of scabies, and it was better to treat the Yellow Turban to exterminate it, and to treat the border troubles to appease it, and then the general Peng Yu did the opposite for some reason, this is the way to take trouble, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

Liu Hongshen nodded in disbelief and said, "What Aiqing said is very agreeable, I don't know if Yuan Aiqing has a good idea?" ”

Yuan Kui said, "Your Majesty, the minister is going to Xiliang, first, to thoroughly investigate Peng Yu's affairs, and secondly, to ask His Majesty to ask the minister to serve as a pacification envoy, once the time is ripe, the minister should surrender it, once the matter is completed, then not to waste a soldier and a pawn The border trouble is peaceful, isn't it wonderful?" ”

Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Can you handle this well?" ”

Yuan Kui said loudly, "The ministers should go all out, and they will not hesitate to smear their liver and brains, and I also ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

To be able to solve the disaster of the border without abolishing a soldier and a pawn, Liu Hong couldn't ask for it, and said with great joy, "Quasi-play!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
