Chapter 19: Forcing the palace to fail

Weiyang Palace, a serious group, the sun slowly rose from the dragon rock of the palace .......

The rapid pace of the acting lieutenant Hong Ping, the general of the army Wang Ziyu, the general of Pingnan Wu Lin, and the cavalry general Gongsun Ao, the light car general Gongsun He, and the cavalry general Li Guang, who returned to the dynasty from this expedition, were like war drums.

Neatly and imposingly extending from the bottom of the steps to the top, the sound of armor rubbing against armor as they walked sounded like the battlefield of the golden iron horse made people feel surging, and the face of each of them was full of seriousness.

After entering the main hall, the civil and military officials are ranked around the main hall, the civil ministers are whispering, and it seems that they can't finish the words, the generals are all straight like sculptures, and the three big and five thick like Wu Song.

And today's early dynasty is very special, the queen Wei Zifu is also in the side hall, after all, Wei Qing has not heard any news yet, these ministers must have an opinion on him, and maybe the acting Taiwei Hongping has received the military information from Shanggu County?

Liu Che sat on the dragon chair with a little lack of confidence, and he didn't know how to start.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do, and I implore Your Majesty to send envoys to the Xiongnu to negotiate peace, in order to seek a way to survive for a long time." Prime Minister Pingjian Hou Xue Ze was the first to stand up and talk about his views on the war.

Xue Ze, the Marquis of Pingjiao, should be very lucky to be the prime minister, after the death of the former prime minister Tian Wei, Emperor Wu asked Han Anguo to temporarily do the prime minister's affairs, and he planned to let Han Anguo be the prime minister, but at this time, Anguo fell and injured his foot, so he let Xue Ze choose a cheap, but Xue Ze was the person of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the Empress Dowager Dou advocated peace, so he was a figure of the Lord and faction.

Liu Che clenched his fists and said firmly: "I said that the imperial court will no longer be friendly from now on, have you forgotten?" ”

Xue Ze knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are afraid of the Huns, it's just that if this continues, the people in the world will suffer a great disaster, the siege of Mayi has been defeated by the three armies so far, and there is no news all the way, and the Huns will definitely go south." ”

"Bastard!" Liu Che's lungs were about to come out: "Are you blaming me?" ”

Xue Ze said firmly: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is just for the sake of the common people in the world, Emperor Gaozu came out with the policy of being close to the country, and the first emperor was also strict, and he must endure the Huns, and he must guard against right ......and wrong with leniency and benevolence."

"Alright." Liu Che really didn't want to hear any opinions from Xue Ze, if it wasn't for Han Anguo's injury, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother's repeated recommendations, how could such a person be the prime minister, immoral, incompetent and mediocre.

Xue Ze kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty think twice." ”

Seeing that the prime minister was the first to stand up and advocate peace, He Zhongsheng, the general of Nanzhong, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this battle has just ended, and the minister feels that it is better to seek stability first. The words were closed, and he looked at the old man Li Guang who looked like pickled eggplant on the side and continued: "As soon as this battle is over, the Xiongnu army must go south, and they must be stabilized. ”

"The last general feels that what General Nanzhong said is extremely important, the most important thing at present is to stabilize the Xiongnu and prevent them from moving south, of course, it is also necessary to make the necessary defensive preparations." Pingnan General Wu Lin arched his hand.

Liu Che sneered after hearing this, Wenchen is an upright lord, and this military general is secretly timid.

The more Liu Che thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, looking at Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, and Gongsun He bowing their heads like pickled eggplants and saying angrily: "Can you three be convicted? ”

Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, and Gongsun He were so frightened that they hurriedly stood out of the queue and knelt on the ground, the lessons of the previous car are still vivid, after the failure of the siege of Mayi, the planner Wang Hui committed suicide in prison, the offensive battle of the Kara grassland failed, the Jianwu general Han Long was beheaded, the defense of Shanggu County was lost, the Taishou and the defender were both imprisoned, and the Huya general Liu Jian committed suicide .......

There are too many, too many failures, and none of them end well.

Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He were young and didn't dare to speak, Li Guang still had a backbone, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, please ask Your Majesty to surrender, the minister, the minister has nothing to say......." ”

"Of course you have nothing to say." Before Liu Che could speak, Prime Minister Xue Ze on the side stood up and accused: "You Li Guang know about fighting all day long, now, it's up to you how you end." ”

Liu Che had the greatest hope for Li Guangbao, so the external propaganda only said that Li Guang was out of Yanmen, but Li Guang was too disappointing.

In the face of the prime minister's accusations, Li Guang bowed his head, what else could he do? Refutation? This is the destruction of the whole army.

In the face of the quarrelsome government and politics, in the face of successive defeats, Liu Che himself didn't know what to do in the future?

"Hong Ping, you are temporarily appointed as a lieutenant, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Liu Che said calmly.

Hong Ping looked left and right and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks the prime minister is ......." ”

"That's it!" Liu Che knew that this Hongping was going to compound Xue Ze's suggestion again, so he immediately didn't want to listen to it, and Liu Che was not interested in this person, he was just a puppet he set up in the army.

Taiwei, who was in charge of the country's military, was the highest decision-maker and leader of the military of the Han Dynasty.

But after Liu Che ascended the throne, he wanted to personally take charge of the military, so after the death of the former lieutenant, there has been no new appointment of the lieutenant.

But the vacancy of the lieutenant can't be too long, for his own convenience and control of the army, Liu Che simply got such a person.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is the most important thing to send the envoy to Longcheng to negotiate peace as soon as possible." Prime Minister Xue Ze suggested again.

There was a harmonious voice, and the more Liu Che listened to it, the more annoyed he became: "Isn't there still an army that hasn't come back?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's been more than ten days, what if you don't come back?" Xue Ze said worriedly.

As soon as these words came out, they didn't scare the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, after all, these people seemed to be numb, but they scared the queen Wei Zifu of the side hall very much, and they sat down on the chair on the spot, and the maid officer Lin Haitang hurriedly stepped forward to serve.

"Xue Ze!" Liu Che stood up violently and pointed at Xue Ze and scolded loudly: "You, you are so bold." ”

Xue Ze knelt on the ground and kowtowed aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you just killed the minister, and the minister still has this attitude, the first emperor is above, and the minister is loyal to the Han, and the current situation is really that the jackals, tigers and leopards are staring at my Han,

The Huns can't wait to eat us, the Qiang people are waiting for us to be defeated so that they can take advantage of the situation, and the Yuehe barbarians in the south, the Xianbei in the north, etc., are waiting with the lion's mouth open, Your Majesty! ”

Liu Che was speechless after hearing this, how should he take this? It's true, if you win, the whole world is even, if you lose, the jackals, tigers and leopards will go into battle and tear up the Han Dynasty, don't look at the surrounding harmony, everyone knows what role.

The three mainstream figures of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister is a soft bag, the Taiwei is a puppet, and the imperial historian is modest, which makes Liu Che worry about whether his own governance can be effectively implemented in the future.

"Is there anything you want to play?" Although Han Anguo, the imperial historian, was listed, he never spoke, this is a centrist, a person who looks at his face.

"Ahem...... Han Anguo walked to the middle with a sick look and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister has been ill recently, and he has not considered this matter, but the minister feels that since the three generals have been defeated, they have to give an explanation." ”

Imperial Doctor Han Anguo is in charge of criminal law, he knows Liu Che's current situation, and he can't let the emperor stand up and give an explanation to the world, so he can only learn from Wang Mang, the planner of the siege of Mayi, and the master will do what he wants.
