Whether to kill or not to kill King Cumin is related to the entire Hungarian-Han strategic confrontation, not child's play.

The military minister who was captured in the battle of Longcheng was killed before because he needed to boost the morale of the whole country to resist Hu, and now the goal has been achieved, if he kills again, he will cut off the heart of the Xiongnu bottom tribe to surrender to Han.

Early the next morning, Prime Minister Sun Hong sat in his three-horse carriage and came slowly to Weiyang Palace, and just arrived at the door and met Zhang Ou, the imperial historian, and the two happened to have something to find Liu Che.

When he came to the main hall, Liu Che had just finished changing his clothes, and when he saw Gongsun Hong coming, he was in a very good mood, and he actually asked the two ministers of the third prince to accompany him to press the road.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do." What Gongsun Hong wanted to play was to relieve pressure for Wei Qing.

Liu Che blew the wind in the distance, shook his dragon robe and said, "Speak." ”

Gongsun Hong straightened his waist and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although Wei Qing has won a decisive victory in the southward movement of the Huns this time, the military and civilians of Yuyang and Youbeiping are also indispensable." ”

After Liu Che heard this, he immediately remembered: "Didn't I ask you to allocate some money and things to Yuyang?" ”

Gongsun Hong knew about this, but if he gave a little money and things, he might not be able to convince the public: "Your Majesty, what the old minister said is that it is possible to consider it in addition to money and things, after all, veterans like Li Guang have also resisted Zuo Xian Wang Huhante." ”

When Gongsun Hong said these things, he was talking tentatively, because Liu Che had already made it clear before that the war standards must be based on military merit, and the whole army had been awarded.

"Prime Minister, I also know that they have merit, Han Anguo also died in battle, but I have already awarded the whole army a military merit system, and I will reward them according to the military merit system." Liu Che finished speaking and continued to walk.

Gongsun Hong is indeed depressed, according to the military merit system, Yuyang and Youbeiping have had no merit, because the starting point of the military merit system is to estimate everyone to kill the enemy and preserve their strength.

"Your Majesty, but, according to the military merit system, Li Guang ......" Gongsun Hong was a little difficult to say: "This is not conducive to the unity of the army." ”

Zhang Ou, the imperial historian, is the main arrester of the military merit, and he stood at the level of the law and said: "The difference between the prime minister's words, Qin relies on the military merit system to unify the six countries, and His Majesty wants to rely on the military merit lord to drive out the Tartars." ”

Gongsun Hong was a little anxious in his heart, but he couldn't argue: "Your Majesty, although this is the case, you also have to pay attention to the truth, the soldiers and civilians of the two counties have died of their best to resist Hu Ju, and if you don't reward it, you will ......."

"Then let them kill the enemy." Zhang Ou added: "As long as you kill more enemies, slaves can also be made marquises, so this can only be blamed for their conservative thinking, why don't they go out of the jam?" ”

Gongsun Hong is powerless to defend himself, and this is the reason for the policy.

In this way, Liu Che and Zhang Ou's attitudes are very resolute, if you want to be rewarded, you must kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, which is also the only way to pay homage to the marquis.

In the face of the decision of the Son of Heaven and the Imperial Doctor, Gongsun Hong temporarily concealed Wei Qing's capture of King Cumin, and he wanted to mention it when he wanted to meet Liu Che alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At night, Liu Che had just returned to Wei Zifu's dormitory from Jianzhang Palace, but before he could lie down, Gongsun Hong asked to see him.

Facing the uninteresting Gongsun Hong, Liu Che was very depressed, so he waved his hand and said, "Let him come back tomorrow." ”

"No!" The chamberlain turned around and gave the message.

"Wait." Wei Zifu called the chamberlain and said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, what if there is any urgent matter?" ”

Liu Che yawned, then stretched out his hand and took Wei Zifu's hand and said: "What can happen, the border troubles have been quelled by Wei Qing, and the vassal states do not dare to act rashly, besides, he didn't say anything all day today." ”

"Your Majesty." Wei Zifu felt that Liu Che's behavior was wrong: "The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, besides, it is not easy for Your Majesty to have this person to assist the court, think about the old ministers before, the concubines think you still meet." ”

Fortunately, Wei Zifu reminded him that Liu Che also felt right, he was thirsty for talent, and now that a Gongsun Hong finally came, how could he make him feel cold, so he said: "Okay, Xuan!" ”

"No!"

Gongsun Hong dragged his old body to Liu Che's side and saluted.

Seeing this, Liu Che hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Oh, Prime Minister, it's really hard for you to be so late." ”

Gongsun Hong looked at the queen Wei Zifu on the side and said to Liu Che: "The old minister is fine, the old minister has an urgent matter to start playing, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." Gongsun Hong bowed.

Wei Zifu really admired Gongsun Hong, so he said, "Prime Minister, sit down and talk." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Gongsun Hong didn't dare to sit down, but played a serious person: "Your Majesty, the old minister implores Your Majesty to cure Wei Qing's crime of bullying the king." ”

Gongsun Hong's words stunned Liu Che and Wei Zifu, was this Gongsun Hong's head clipped? There were two people present, one was Wei Qing's sister and the other was his brother-in-law.

Gongsun Hong is trying to reduce Wei Qing's merits: "Your Majesty, Wei Qing concealed the war situation. ”

"Oh?" Liu Che and Wei Zifu looked at each other and listened quietly.

Gongsun Hong told the whole story of the matter, and reported in detail the fact that Wei Qing captured Powell, the king of cumin, but did not report it, and Gongsun Hong raised the matter to the level of bullying the king.

After listing the crimes of bullying the king, Gongsun Hong also listed Wei Qing's five major crimes, which made Wei Zifu on the side tremble.

However, Liu Che only heard that Wei Qing had captured Powell, the king of Xiongnu cumin, in Gongsun Hong's entire report, and he didn't seem to be interested in the other five major crimes, but instead advised Gongsun Hong to be generous.

"Your Majesty!" Gongsun Hongzhen didn't expect things to go in the opposite direction.

At this time, Liu Che had no intention of resting, and captured a Xiongnu royal family, if this news was announced to the world, the morale of the military and civilians across the country to resist Hu would be even more inspired.

"What a Wei Qing, hahaha." Liu Che walked out excitedly.

Gongsun Hong hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely punish the crime." ”

Liu Che walked up to Gongsun Hong unhurriedly and said: "The prime minister can support the boat in his belly, if it weren't for Wei Qing, I'm afraid you would still be teaching in the grass shed, hahaha, he has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, you should be happy." ”

Gongsun Hong looked at Empress Wei Zifu helplessly, and he didn't know what to say in his heart.

Just as Liu Che was about to leave, Gongsun Hong suddenly remembered another thing: "Your Majesty, the old minister begs to reward Yuyang and the guards of Youbeiping." ”

Liu Che saw that Gongsun Hong was still mentioning this matter, so he asked with a straight face: "What does the prime minister mean?" ”

Gongsun Hong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, according to the military merits, there are not a few generals in the Wei Qinghu Army, and the old minister thinks that the guards should also be crowned a few?" ”

Liu Che smiled coldly when he heard this: "If you want to be a marquis and worship the general, you have to rely on your true skills, let them also capture the two Hun kings for me, and I will do what I say." After speaking, Liu Che turned around and left.

Gongsun Hong looked at the empty door, and then looked at Wei Zifu, who looked helpless, and chased him out again.
