Chapter 517: The Emperor's Blow
Wei Qing said: "Then there is only one problem. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Xue, have you ever thought about it, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is a struggle of interests. You say you're tired of the intrigues and power struggles of the Han court. When we go out, won't we have these problems? Daddy feels that as long as there are people, there will be interests, and if there are interests, there will be the problem of uneven distribution. Those who get more want more, and those who have less want to be more people all the time. What should I do? β
Xue Qing said with a smile: "No one is morally perfect, and there is no pure land anywhere. The daughter just wants a place, and there is some harmony between them. It's no longer just a matter of just dying. β
Wei Qing hesitated: "Is it possible?" β
Xue Qing smiled: "At least it's worth trying." β
Wei Qing nodded and said, "That's right, then you have to be more careful when you go back this time." Pick up the family members safely. β
Xue Qing nodded: "Well, the pass in the west and Li Kang, who is hidden in the royal city of the Great Moon Clan, will contact Daddy and go to the sick when necessary." Do your best to help Daddy exterminate the Huns. β
Wei Qing thought of Li Guang and Li Dare and smiled: "Okay." β
In this case, Xue Qing packed up her things, went south to Loulan with Huo Quai, and made some arrangements in Loulan, this time the task of returning to Chang'an was particularly arduous, and Xue Qing did not dare to be careless, except for her own five hundred personal guards, Tianbao, and Zhang Quandan were with you. secretly asked Gao Tianxing and Li Ying, who was in the west, to come back quickly, and lead people to secretly ambush, one bright and one dark, which can be safe.
The matter here was basically handed over to Wang Zangyun and Sima Xiangru to discuss, and Yuan Zhouzi's construction in the west had come to an end, so he was called back and stood by in Loulan, where he would accumulate cement and other materials that would be used in the future to prepare for the construction of the pass, and when Xueqing came back and the Han army retreated, he would start building at any time. At that time, all forces east of Jiayuguan can be evacuated.
After Huo Quzhi escorted Xue Qing into Jiayu Pass, he said goodbye and told him to be careful. Don't be careless.
In fact, Xue Qing doesn't have such a big burden, although the difficulty of this trip is not small, but one has the intention and the other has no intention, and it may not be embarrassing in the end. But it doesn't matter to others, the historical mission has been basically completed, even Wei Qing's three sons are just fish on someone else's chopping block in the witch curse. The key is that Huo Guang. This thing also has a historical mission.
Forget it, wouldn't there be a feast without carrots? Even if there is no Zhang butcher, the people of the whole country may not necessarily have to eat pork with hair.
said goodbye to Huo Quai, escorted by five hundred guards. Xueqing passed through Jiuquan, Dunhuang, and the mighty Zhangye. All the way to the east, it took more than half a month to get to Jincheng. Originally, I planned to go back to Lishan Biyuan to live for a few days, but I was afraid that Emperor Wu would be unhappy, so I still forgot it. When he was about to enter Chang'an City, he pretended to be in a hurry and walked to the city.
After entering the city. The guards went directly back to the Hou Mansion, and Xue Qing drove Jian directly into Weiyang Palace and saw the emperor in the Xuanshu Palace.
The emperor seemed a little lukewarm, and after greetings, he asked why Zhang Qian didn't come back.
Xue Qing explained: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Bowang is now building the Xiongnu Pass in the west of the Great Moon Clan. Now the entire territory of the Great Moon Clan has been destroyed, but the west of the pass is still in the hands of the current queen Li Tuo Bici. And the road to the east had long since fallen into the hands of the Huns. It's okay to send a letter once in a while, but if you let Bo Wanghou come back through the territory of the Huns, I'm afraid it's too risky. If the concubine wants to come to Bowanghou, she will write to His Majesty to plead her way. β
On the emperor's desk was a note sent back by Zhang Qian. But he didn't tell Xue Qing. He only said, "Well, I see." Tell me about the situation on the front line. β
What are the things that can be reported to the emperor, and those things cannot be reported, these have been prepared for a long time, in fact, those that can be reported to the emperor have long been reported to the emperor through various channels, Xue Qing said it at this time, it is just a clichΓ©.
I talked all morning. Xue Qing's throat was smoking, and Emperor Wu said, "Well, your family of three has done a good job in the Western Regions. The Huns are now at the end of their rope. It's a great time for God to bless my big man. You see how long it will take to take down its main force. Completely sweep the Western Regions? β
Xue Qing arched her hand and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the trapped beast is still fighting, and the more injured and dying the beast, the dying counterattack is still fatal." The situation is favorable to our Han army, and it is precisely the time when we should fight steadily and steadily, and stabilize our mentality step by step. We must not be greedy for merit, but make the northern defense line empty and the Huns will take advantage of it. β
Emperor Wu frowned and stared at Yutu: "Surround but not fight?" Aren't you afraid that this Hun will recuperate in the Dayue Clan? After pouring out the manpower and material resources of the Western Regions, can't it recover its vitality? β
Xue Qing said with a smile: "Who said that you won't fight, didn't you just make trouble with them some time ago, causing them to lose more than 100,000 living forces." β
Emperor Wu smiled: "This hand is very good, is it your idea or your father?" Or is it going to be sick? β
Xue Qing arched her hand and said: "Your Majesty sent my father and my family to fight on the march, and to unite the countries of the Western Regions to make trouble for the Xiongnu, it is indeed the task that Your Majesty gave to your concubines." β
Emperor Wu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Well, it's really good, Ah Xue, have you ever thought about why I want to recall you when the front line is really in full swing?" β
Xue Qing knew that the emperor was going to make a move, so she pretended to be stupid and said: "No, the emperor wants to summon his concubines back to report on their work, and the concubines came back without daring to think about it after receiving the edict." β
Emperor Wu's expression was a little weird, as if he wanted to pretend to be serious to scare Xue Qing, but he was a little unconfident and said: "I have received a joint report from many ministers, saying that your family of three is fighting against each other in the Western Regions Party. Deceive the upper and lower levels, and be greedy for military spending. There is a faint disobedience. He wanted to rebel against the Han and stand on his own feet in the Western Regions. β
Damn, such a big black cauldron, but in fact, it's pretty much the same. Xue Qing knew that this was the time to be honestly afraid. Hurriedly knelt down and pretended to be scared and cried: "Your Majesty Mingjian." The concubine's family opened up territory for His Majesty the Emperor, worked diligently, self-denial, and categorically had no disobedience. My family is deeply favored by the emperor, how could he do such a thing, besides, His Majesty is the uncle of the concubine, and the crown prince is the cousin of the concubine. Uncle, don't listen to the villain's slander and misunderstand the loyal ministers and good generals. By the way, the concubine knows, this must be what Da Shan Yu and his traitor lackeys hidden in the Han Court deliberately said this, that is, because Da Shan Yu in the Western Regions can no longer hold on, so he wants to spread rumors in the Han Court, trying to restrain the actions of the Han army from behind, Your Majesty, you are a rare Ming Jun through the ages, don't follow those faint monarchs to self-destruct the Great Wall.
