This matter, in fact, is quite difficult to deal with.

Because even if Liu Hong said a flower, the essence of Han-Hungarian diplomacy this time was still the Han family's promise of 'not going to war' through 'reparations'.

But this matter cannot be admitted openly in any case - an emperor who bowed his head to the Huns and prayed for peace could not be recognized in the early Han Dynasty!

Therefore, what Liu Hong wants to achieve next is to let the people of the world, at least the people at the bottom, think that 'Your Majesty is very tough', and at the same time, sign a humiliating treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country, in exchange for several years of peace.

This matter, Liu Hong can be reluctantly solved with his knowledge of history - at this point in time when Mao Dun is seriously ill and dying, the confidence of the Huns may not be greater than that of the Han family.

This is also the reason why Liu Hong put the news of 'your lord Shan Yu seems to be dying' in front of the Xiongnu mission without fear - Liu Hong used this to reveal a 'don't scare Lao Tzu' attitude to the Huns, and then make a slight compromise and put forward a condition that the Huns could probably accept, and the difficulty of this matter would be much less.

However, Liu Hong also encountered an unplanned huge difficulty - Chen Ping and Zhou Bo and their party have already lost their armor in the political game!

If Liu Hong does not hesitate to speculate with the greatest malice, the 'leading Aries Department of the Xiongnu Munan' proposed by the Xiongnu mission this time may not be without Chen Ping's handwriting!

- The Aries Department, together with the Huns, the Lan Department and the Loufu Department, is known as the elite of the 'Shan Yuting Troika'!

And the Zhelan Department, which is on a par with the Aries Department in the annals, is a fierce tribe that even the champion Hou in history has lost his troops and paid a huge price to defeat!

Unless Mao Dun wants to launch a full-scale Han-Hungarian war, let alone send an absolute elite to the Han family to 'protect Liu Hong', even weapons and ordnance will not appear in the return list.

However, the Huns still put forward naked 'war' conditions such as weapons and armaments and armed stationing at the time of the handover of power, which is not normal.

Liu Hong can first be sure that in the original history, the Huns had never put forward this kind of condition to stimulate the Han family - if there really was, then let alone Emperor Wen Liu Heng, it is estimated that Zhou Bo can learn from Fan Xu, and then come to 'willing to lead 100,000 troops and level the Huns'!

But now, this incident has really happened, but the military led by Zhou Bo and Guan Ying has no reaction to the humiliation of the Huns, which is seriously inconsistent with the strong temper of the Han family, especially the military generals in the early Han Dynasty.

In addition to this, there is another doubt? It provides strong evidence for Liu Hong's speculation - the day before yesterday? The monarchs and ministers of the Han family received the Xiongnu delegation in the Xuan Room, and then because of the request of the Xiongnu mission? The Han courtiers carried out a brutal group beating of the Xiongnu envoys.

But in the process? Captain Zhou Bo, who is the leader of the military, has no intention of stepping forward to 'persuade the fight'? Only like Chen Ping, his brows were furrowed, thinking about something.

If Chen Ping is the prime minister? Inconvenient to shoot? That Liu Hongneng can believe; As a general's infant, he has a 'gentle temperament', and he can barely say it without making a move.

But Zhou Bo?

This girl is a reckless man who can store armor soldiers in the Wen Dynasty!

What if he could have considered 'diplomatic influence'? Restraint in such an occasion that is likely to go down in history? It is impossible to leave that sigh in history, 'I know the value of jailers today'.

- The political wisdom of this product has been passed on to his son Zhou Yafu without leaking!

Combined with all this, there is only one possibility for this matter: the Xiongnu suddenly added weapons, armaments, armed garrisons and other radical diplomatic terms, at least Zhou Bo was aware of it in advance.

As for how Zhou Bo hooked up with the Huns, this is no secret in the Han family: on the Hun steppe at this moment? There are two princes and kings of the former Han family, who are the descendants of Han Xin, the king of Han, the king of the Huns? and the descendants of Lu Xuan, the king of Donghu!

Whether it is Han Wangxin or the former Yan King Lu Xuan? all used to be Liu Bang's personal generals; Zhou Bo, who is also a member of the 'Peixian Gang', has a relationship with the descendants and subordinates of these two people? It's not too easy.

Don't say anything else? At this time, in the Xiongnu mission where the pawn belonged to the yamen rested? But there is a deputy envoy surnamed Han!

This made Liu Hong feel upset, and his mind was like a messy ball of yarn, and he didn't know where to start.

——No matter how beautifully Liu Hong handled the Han-Hungarian diplomacy this time, it would inevitably be distorted by Zhou Bo and others as 'Your Majesty has forgotten the siege of Baideng and the shame of Empress Lü, and bowed to the Huns'.

With a tired sigh, the corners of his knotted eyebrows were rubbed, and Liu Hong hesitantly sat back on top of the collapse.

"The Xiongnu came to envoy to defraud the Han family's property, gold and silver; Fortunately, the emperor's father was as wise as a torch, and he had sent people out of the customs more than ten years ago, lurking the Huns, thinking that he should be inside! ”

Without hesitation, he pasted a layer of 'precautions' gold on Emperor Hui's father's face, Liu Hong's face was indifferent, but his eyes were locked on Zhou Bo on the left: "Spring and February, I should return to the book: Di Chief Mao Dun, he is seriously ill and will die!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the courtiers and officials in the palace all turned red; In a matter of moments, several people were out of the squad to fight!

"The minister is willing to be the vanguard and sweep away the Munan hometown of the Han family for His Majesty!"

"The minister is willing to make a military order, and he will be executed by Chief Di and asked for the crime in the high temple!"

"Minister..."

Looking around, Liu Hong did not feel the slightest joy because of the high fighting spirit of his courtiers.

- Among the people who went out to work, the youngest was the guard who had just passed his seventieth birthday and was given a few rods...

The oldest is the old Wang Ling, who is nearly ninety years old, standing up tremblingly and selling cute...

Among the people in the palace who are qualified to fight as the vanguard and lead an army alone, the youngest Lang Zhong Ling Mian is weighing the pros and cons with doubts on his face at this time.

"Alas, it's not green..."

Liu Hong is very sure that whether it is the generals of the imperial party such as Worm Da and Wang Ling, or the generals of the Zhuhong Group led by Zhou Bo and Guan Ying, it is impossible for them to be lower than Ling Mian in front of them; Ling Mian could see that now was not a good opportunity to go to war, and it was impossible for these people not to see it.

What's more, Liu Hong told the big lie that 'there are spies inside the Huns', which is simply made out of nothing!

In other words, these old naughty boys, who don't have a few teeth left, came out to fight regardless of their age, which is nothing more than taking political correctness as the basis for judgment and standing in line for Liu Hong...

Sighing helplessly, Liu Hong made a look of relief and motioned to the attendants in the hall to help the old king's tomb up.

"Warrior, the official of the country! Today, I am fortunate to have a full house of ministers, and I am very relieved. ”

"I also want to grant the invitation of the princes, raise troops to the north, and take the emperor to sue the high temple for the guilt, so as to comfort the soul of Emperor Taizu Gao in the sky!"

After first expressing kindness to the actions of a few old guys, Liu Hong turned his head and said: "Ran Sun Tzu said: The Lord must not raise a teacher out of anger, and he will not be discouraged and cause war!" ”

"And the husband fights, and the temple counts; The temple is counted as the winner without a fight, and it is a lot. ”

Saying that, Liu Hong's face was a little serious, and he got up and bowed slightly: "Lang Zhong Lingmian, who has been a captain of the Flying Fox for a long time, knows it very well in the Huns; Please also solve the doubts for the public: if I raise troops to go north today, what are the odds of victory? ”

Because of Liu Hong's sentence 'don't act out of anger', he calmed down a little, and hurriedly went out of Bannabai: "Your Majesty, if you say that you have a chance of winning, the minister will not dare to assert it; However, if the war starts, the head of the soldiers of the Han family should be hungry...

Cautiously saying this, he found that Liu Hong's face was not the slightest unhappy, and Ling Mian was relieved and told his views on the strategic pattern of Han and Hungary.

"If war starts, Your Majesty should give food..."

"If there is something in Beiping, Your Majesty should be sent..."

"If you lose, Your Majesty or..."

After enumerating all the possibilities in front of the court officials, Ling Mian paused for a moment, and waited for most of the people to digest this part of the information before bowing solemnly.

"The ministers foolishly think: the treasury and the Shaofu are empty, the border soldiers are not clothed, they are not hungry, and the swords, bows, crossbows and arrows are old; More bitter and unscrupulous riding for many years. ”

"The husband war, nothing more than the time, the place, the people, this is the time of spring ploughing, this day is in Yi."

"Out of the customs to fight, my Han family has no fine horsemen, no way to discern; In the civil war in Guanguan, there is a risk that the people will be displaced, and this place is advantageous. ”

"Last year, the price of grain was boiling, and the whole world was affected, and the people could not live in peace, and this person was in Yi."

"The time, the place, the people are all in the country, the war is in the trade, and the chances of victory will be less than one percent..."

Although Liu Hong didn't agree with what Ling Mian said, he still nodded: "What do you think of what Ling Lang said?" ”

In the final analysis, Ling Mian's exaggerated description is the only way to make the Han courtiers realize their strategic disadvantage - as long as Ling Mian tells the truth: 'There is a three-percent chance of winning', then this battle, the Han court really dares to fight!

——Liu Bang drove the expedition in person back then, but he dared to go deep into the grassland with tens of thousands of pioneers!

Liu Hong didn't know whether to say that this was a symbol of the blood of the Han people, or if he was blindly confident...

All in all, what Ling Mian said was basically in line with Liu Hongdi's expectations: let the courtiers and officials realize the disadvantages of rashly starting a war, so that they can temporarily pray for peace by default, and farm and climb the science and technology tree with peace of mind.

"How can Lang Zhongling increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?"

As Liu Hong expected, Zhou Bo's-stirring stick really jumped out: "If the old man's memory is correct, Your Majesty once ordered Lang Zhonglang to be transferred to the Flying Fox Lieutenant at the age of tomorrow?" ”

Yin and Yang glanced at Ling Mian in a strange manner, and Zhou Bo bowed to Liu Hong on the imperial stairs: "The minister is old, and I ask Your Majesty to solve the puzzle on your behalf: such a person who is afraid of war can really bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the border wall?" ”

Rao had expected it, and Liu Hong's face stiffened uncontrollably: "Then according to Taiwei's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Bo didn't seem to have tasted the trap in Liu Hong's words at all, and only said to himself: "The minister foolishly thinks that when this Di chief is about to die, the Huns will be in chaos, and this is a good opportunity for the Chengwu Han family to take revenge!" ”

"The minister begs His Majesty for permission, and the minister is willing to lead 100,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with Chief Di!"

For a moment, Liu Hong vaguely felt that for some reason, Zhou Bo seemed to be really eager to lead the troops into battle?

But at the same time, Liu Hong also basically determined the excessive requirements of the Xiongnu mission, which was inseparable from Zhou Bo.

What exactly does Zhou Bo want to do?

At this time, Chen Ping, who was not attending the Shuowang Dynasty due to illness, reappeared in Liu Hongdi's mind.

Is there any inevitable connection between Chen Ping's leave and Zhou Bo's request for war?

But there is no doubt that the political game between Liu Hong and Chen Zhou's party has been completely involved in Han-Hungarian diplomacy.

Where to start, how to break the situation, in order to ensure that Chen Zhou's party is suppressed at the same time, not to be taken advantage of by the Huns...

"The minister implores Your Majesty, read in the face of Emperor Taizu Gao, and grant the minister's request!"

The long silence was interrupted by Zhou Bo's righteous pleadings, and Liu Hong suddenly fell into an embarrassing dilemma.

agreed, the outbreak of a great war between Han and Hungary is not the key, and the worst outcome is nothing more than Zhou Bo leading his troops outside, and even making peace with the Huns!

But if you don't agree...

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing the voice, Liu Hong subconsciously cast a glance at Zanke; But after seeing the man's face clearly, Liu Hong closed his eyes with bitterness.

"The house leak happened to rain overnight..."

"Uncle Shaofu, there is a play!"

It's time to come, it's still coming.

Uncle Tian, a stubborn cow, finally seized the opportunity to bring the letter that Liu Hong was very reluctant to open the way to the court.

Under Liu Hong's resentful gaze, Uncle Tian unhurriedly took out a white silk from his arms, slowly spread it out, and said goodbye.

"Uncle Hou Chen of Shaofu Yi'an, Hou Chenshang of Qu Zhou, Hou Chenjia of Huaiyang, Hou Chenjia of Boyang, Hou Chenda of Wei Wei Qu Cheng, and Hou Chenda, join forces!"

As a personal name appeared in Uncle Tian's mouth, in addition to Huaiyang County Shoushen Tujia, and Li Ji, who went out of the class instead of his deceased father Li Shang, Worm Da and Chen Bi also walked out of the court class and knelt behind Uncle Tian together.

Liu Hong's eyes were full of horror, and they all converged on the faces of Worm Da, Liji, and Chen Bi, who were as resolute as Uncle Tian.

"Your Majesty is young now, there are no elders in the country, and the courtiers are afraid; In the past, there were princes and vassal kings who entered Beijing without edicts, and now there are Xiongnu jackals fighting with soldiers to oppress the monarchs and ministers of the Han family! ”

"In the winter of November, the Empress Dowager died, and His Majesty came to the court, discussing the system, and thinking that his biological mother was the Empress Dowager; However, the thieves Xiahou Ying, Cao Yan and others fornicated with Lu Chan and Lu Lu, deceived Your Majesty, and committed Empress Xiaohui to the deep palace, so that Your Majesty has a mother but does not know it, and cannot make the trip with filial piety. ”

"Empress Xiaohui Zhang Yan is the main room of Emperor Xiaohui, and His Majesty's own mother; Now His Majesty is in the court, and his mother lives in the deep palace, this sincerity is not tolerated by the ancestral system of etiquette! ”

"The minister hears only the snake, the auspiciousness of the woman, the filial piety queen aids the saint, but there is no queen of the truth, the secluded palace, the sorrow of the heavenly heart, if there is a disease of fog and dew, Your Majesty is the son of man, what face should he see the world?"

"The old ministers are waiting for a hundred worships: petition to crown Queen Xiaohui as the queen mother, set up the palace mother's ceremony, and show the courtesy of the ministers, so that the country has a director, and the country is only eternal!"

After saying that, Uncle Tian, Worm Da, Li Ji, and Chen Wei ignored the horrified eyes of everyone in the hall, and resolutely bowed their heads!

After a while, two horizontal tears appeared on Liu Hong's immature face, and after the joy and anger on his face were seen by everyone in the hall, Liu Hong didn't care about wiping the tears on his face, and ran out of the hall crying.

"Queen Mother's !!"

"The emperor is here to find his mother!!"

When the crying and howling were far away, the obsessive courtiers and officials in the palace looked at me, and I looked at you, so I had to hurry up and follow.

In the empty Xuanshu hall, there were only four prostrate bodies left on the ground, trembling bodies, and an elderly figure repeatedly muttering to himself, 'Shu Zi Er Dare'.
