Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Huns Invade the Frontier
When they were dressed, they all withdrew. The little eunuch said: "Dongfang Gongzi, the emperor said that if you don't know the Jinluan Treasure Palace, let the miscellaneous family take you there." ”
"Ah, well, I'd like to wait a while, so let's go." I said helplessly.
This little eunuch took me directly to the place where the emperor went to court, and then he left. I looked around, the emperor had not yet gone to the palace, and under this hall, there were already many ministers. There are people who wear the same clothes as me, but the color of the clothes is different. There are soldiers in armor, and at first glance they look like generals or something. If the rank of a soldier is not at this level, he will not be able to go to the Jinluan Hall at all.
These people are like a group of students waiting for the teacher to start the class, talking to each other.
I don't know what they say, just look at their appearance, a group of three, a group of five, or a group of students, divided into parties. This is...... What's going on? It seems that the ministers in this history have their own parties, just like us today!
Among these people, I saw one person. This person does not speak to others and does not stand by others. It seems that this person is just different. He didn't speak to anyone at all, staring at the ground alone and motionless.
Yes...... is so pious, like a peerless master.
This person is simply a character like the legendary Tao Yuanming, what a wonderful existence!
Hehe, such a person, is really the person I am looking for. When I came into this world, I couldn't leave any records, and all I wanted was to associate with such people. Don't form gangs, don't follow the vines.
I tiptoed over and wanted to get to know this guy well. Unexpectedly, I found out that he was - snoring - snoring,! You can fall asleep while standing, it's really a wonder in the world, a peerless cow.
Seeing this, I want to know this cowhide character even more.
"Hey...... Ah, this lord, you are so good Yaxing, you can actually fall asleep standing up, what a genius. My admiration for you is like a surging river, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, it is out of control. It's more like layers of waves, one wave is higher than another, it's a wave in a wave! ”
He slowly opened his eyes, looked at me lazily like an old turtle, and slowly answered "oh".
I'll go, big brother, after listening to my praise, are you such a reaction? Really, I would have told the emperor if I had known, it was really unlevel, it wasted my saliva and wasted my expression!
"This adult, you may not know me, my name is Dongfang Shuo, what is your name?"
"Ah, it turns out that you don't know my name yet, I ......" This guy just wanted to say what his name was, and suddenly, a voice came from the hall: "Everyone be quiet, the emperor has arrived!" ”
Under the main hall, everyone immediately closed their mouths, and there was no sound at all. If a steel needle drops at this time, you can hear it, it's so quiet.
I wonder if the messy hall just now is a hallucination from me. It seems that the bigger this official is, the more afraid he is of the emperor!
Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair with the support of the eunuch, although he was not an old man in his seventies and eighties, but what people wanted was this kind of atmosphere, this kind of style!
Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair and looked very bad, as if someone else owed him money. His gloomy face, as if he had just been angry, and his eyes were full of anger: "Hmph, all Aiqing, do you see anything on my face?" ”
There was silence in the hall, no one dared to speak, and even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.
"Didn't anyone speak? Good, good! You are all shrewd people, and you must have seen that I am very angry right now. So, I'll ask you one more question, do you know why I'm angry? If no one answers, I'll kill you all!" ”
"The emperor is sage, and the ministers don't know." In the main hall, both civil and military generals knelt on the ground. I looked left and right, and there was no one standing with me except that I was still standing stupidly.
My face twitched slightly, are you trained, bastards? Why didn't anyone pull me, how could I do it in unison, it's really a dog.
"Okay, Dongfang Shuo, seeing you standing there, it means you know. Tell me, why am I angry? ”
"I ...... I ......, "How the do I know why you're angry, I'm not a worm in your stomach, how do I know what you're thinking." There are many reasons why you are angry, such as not sleeping well yesterday, such as not pulling out today......
"I don't know......" I said, kneeling on the ground, following the example of the ministers.
"Hmph, I really don't know, what use does the court want you to have, that is, if you raise a dog, you also know how to take care of the house, what about you!" Saying this, Emperor Wu stood up directly, took the bamboo slip from the side of a eunuch, and then threw it away, just hitting the head of a minister.
This unlucky guy screamed in pain: "Ah...... Hurt...... Ahh
"Hmph, that's good, you still know that it hurts, it's not easy! Much stronger than a three-year-old child, know not to cry! Emperor Wu of Han said this, patted his chest directly and said, "You know that it hurts, can there be pain?" I'll tell you, I'm in a lot of pain here, this, this! Did you know? It really hurts! ”
"Yesterday I received very bad news, it was an urgent letter from the border gate. I opened it at that time, and when I saw it, I felt uncomfortable inside. You know what's going on? Hmph, I know you're a bunch of waste, I don't know why I'm angry! It is clearly written on this letter, saying that twenty days ago, the Huns attacked the side of our Han at night.
Kill my men, take my women captive, burn my house, take my livestock, take my land!
Ah, it's so rampant, I think that my dignified god country has no way to deal with this little barbarian? How can this not make people feel sad in their hearts, how can they not make people feel uncomfortable in their hearts!
Let me tell you that I have decided, and in the near future, I will send troops to recruit the Huns. But...... This matter still can't be rushed. As we all know, the Han Dynasty is a country of civilization and etiquette. If they send troops rashly like this, it will leave them with a handle. I will never allow such a failure in my reign as emperor. Therefore, I have decided that before that, I will send an envoy to the Huns, first salute and then soldier.
When the time comes, if the Huns refuse to promise never to invade our borders...... We'll have a reason to send troops.
Now, you think clearly, who took the initiative to ask for the Huns? ”
Haha, that's a question that only a fool would ask. If anyone raises their hand at this time, it is looking for death, isn't this equivalent to giving someone a head? I don't do such drudgery! So, like a quail, I resolutely did not raise my hand.
