Chapter 137 - Killing Two Birds with One Stone

The farce between Fan Xu and Peng Yue was finally subsided under Liu Bang's anger.

Liu Bang treated the two of them separately, and the crime of rudeness in front of the monarch made people pull the two down from the palace, take them home, and be grounded for three days. and a fine of three months.

A storm finally stopped. Liu Bang looked at the two people who had been pulled down, and breathed a long sigh of relief, which calmed down.

"That's it! Everyone, Aiqing, what happened just now is a small episode. I don't know Zhong Aiqing, do you have opinions and conclusions about the surrender of this tile gangzhai? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move to surrender Wagangzhai is a good thing, but this king's matter should still be cautious!" At this time, Xiao He, the right prime minister, stood up and said.

When the civil and military officials below heard this, they also nodded their heads one after another, deciding that Xiao He's words were reasonable. And after Liu Bang listened to it, he also felt that Xiao He's words were in line with his own wishes.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Xiao is lacking in consideration!" At this time, Chen Ping, who was the prime minister of Zuo, hurriedly stood up and said.

Liu Bang looked at it, although he was unhappy, he still patiently asked Chen Ping's opinion.

"Your Majesty, that Cheng bites gold not only wants military power, but also wants to be crowned king! Wolf ambition! Moreover, if the emperor really asked him to guard the frontier, it would be a bad thing!

This side is a thousand miles away. Whether the situation at the border can be controlled or not will be said for the time being. This trip to bite gold is a thief, but I am afraid that his lack of ability may harm the people! Chen Ping immediately straightened up.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. Chen thinks that what Prime Minister Chen Cheng said is good. The border pass is thousands of miles away from the capital. It will take at least half a month for this imperial order to be delivered.

If the emperor really lets Cheng bite the gold and guard the border passes, I am afraid that this kid will disobey the yang and yin and ruin the major affairs of the court! Cao Shen, who has always been cautious, also stood up to support Chen Ping at this time.

After listening to the words of the two, Liu Bang thought about it in his heart and felt that what the two said was also very reasonable.

After all, since ancient times, the guards of the border pass have been the emperor's henchmen. Only when a country's borders are stable can it develop normally internally. Liu Bang is naturally familiar with this truth.

It's okay to say it after hearing this biting gold, but if it's really yang and yin. I can't do anything about him, but I have to be restrained by him.

"What a difference between the two adults!

From the point of view, that Cheng Biting Jin is just a thief, even if he is asked to guard the border pass, his subordinates will not be able to make much waves!

Moreover, now our Han is full of wolf smoke, although on the battlefield of Yizhou, Marshal Wei's army successfully resisted the Qin army. But who dares to guarantee that Marshal Wei can withstand the second and third attacks?

Don't you know that in just five days, the Han army on the battlefield of Yizhou lost more than half?

You need to know! What Marshal Wei faced was not 50,000 Qin troops, let alone 100,000 Qin troops, but 200,000! Two hundred thousand! Exactly four times the number of troops!

Now, the Xiongnu rebellion in the north has been successfully quelled. In the battle against the Xiongnu, our Han army lost no less than 40,000 people. Now the strength of Marshal Liu and King Qi will not exceed 100,000!

If you divide your troops to guard the border passes, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist the Qin army at all! Therefore, please think twice about the emperor, and think twice about your adults! Xiao He immediately knelt down and said sharply.

At this time, when Cao participated in Chen Ping's hearing, he stopped talking. Not only them, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent. Obviously, what Xiao He said is not unreasonable.

The Qin army can be said to be pouring out of the nest this time, even if there are not 500,000 people, its strength is only close to 400,000. If it weren't for Zhao Tuo's division of troops, I'm afraid that Yizhou would have already fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

After hearing this, Liu Bang fell into deep thought, and then waved his hand, and immediately the eunuch in the court shouted to retreat.

When the civil and military officials saw it, although they were puzzled, it was the emperor's order, and they had to withdraw from the palace one by one and disperse.

Seeing this, Chen Ping had no choice but to shake his head, slowly withdraw, and go down to the Taiji Palace.

As soon as I got off the Taiji Palace, I only heard someone behind me shouting to me.

"Lord Chen, Lord Chen, wait a minute."

Chen Ping looked back and found that it was Cao Shen. Cao Shen trotted all the way to Chen Ping.

"Pingyang Hou, do you have something to do?"

"Hahaha! Didn't Lord Chen ask knowingly? What do you think about what just happened? Cao Shen asked with a smile.

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "To be honest, I decided that what Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said was not unreasonable, but ......"

Cao Shen looked at Chen Ping's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng only spoke, it is good to be reasonable." But after all, this is a tiger for trouble! ”

…………

At this time, because Xiao He was the head of the hundred officials, of course, he was the last to withdraw from the main hall. However, Xiao He, who was about to withdraw from the main hall, was suddenly stopped by the eunuch sent by Liu Bang, saying that Liu Bang wanted to see him.

When Xiao He heard this, he hurriedly followed the eunuch to the side hall and met Liu Bang. As soon as Liu Bang saw Xiao He coming, he hurriedly asked him to express his thoughts about the surrender of Wagangzhai.

Xiao He was overjoyed when he heard this, and even gave up all his thoughts: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, this Wagangzhai must not surrender." This first condition can be promised to him and let him guard the border for us. However, don't be too decentralized! In the minister's opinion, you must not give Cheng a gold king! And it's going to be restricted! ”

"Restrictions? How is it restricted? Please also let the prime minister know. ”

"Your Majesty, didn't Marshal Liu's recital say that General Tianbao pursued the Xiongnu without authorization, causing all the casualties of the 5,000 Han army? The emperor can take advantage of this to blame General Tianbao. Appoint him as the border supervisor and let him stay to supervise Cheng Biting Jin!

In this way, Marshal Liu's troops could be safely withdrawn to support Yizhou. And the problem of biting gold can naturally be solved! Isn't that a win-win-win-win Xiao He said with a smile.

When Liu Bang heard this, he immediately realized: "Hahaha! The prime minister has a good plan! It's a win-win! Come on, the purpose! By the way, hurry up and prepare for the banquet, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng wants to stay with me and dine together! ”

The two monarchs immediately laughed heartily in the side hall. After the banquet was ready, the two monarchs and ministers were also drunk. It wasn't until midnight that Xiao He returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion under the escort of the palace guards.

Xiao He's plan can not only recruit Wagangzhai, but also allow Liu Bang to control Wagangzhai, Liu Bang is naturally overjoyed.

In Liu Bang's view, although it is said that Pei Yuanqing is guilty, this is obviously a bright and dark rise! You know, the prison army is holding a fake knot.

"False festival Yue" represents the emperor's travel, and all the envoys who hold the festival represent the emperor's personal visit, symbolizing the emperor and the country, and can exercise the corresponding power. If a military general is "fake", he does not need to ask for instructions from the left and report to the right in wartime, and he can directly kill the non-commissioned officers in his army who violate military orders.

In other words, as long as you have this fake festival, you can cut it first and then play! Its power can be said to be one person under ten thousand people!

However, Liu Bang later discovered that his brain circuit and Pei Yuanqing's brain circuit were not on the same channel at all!
