Chapter 58: The Matter of Incense
Wei Qing finally came back from Henan County, and Ruoyao reported to Wei Qing about the incense building for more than a month.
Of course, he didn't say a word about what happened to him in Weifu.
The matter was important, and Wei Qing accompanied Ruoyao to meet Liu Che urgently.
Ruoyao gave Liu Che a detailed report on the events of the past month or so, and while Liu Che praised Ruoyao, he was also extremely angry at the incense building, and he was furious on the spot.
"Smack!" After hearing this, Liu Che threw the tea bowl to the ground, and several petty officials on the side knelt down one after another, he looked at Prime Minister Xue Ze for a moment and asked, "What does the Prime Minister think of this matter?" ”
Xue Ze calmed down and said, "The old minister thinks that it should be found out as soon as possible and then expelled. ”
"Expulsion?" As soon as Liu Che heard this, he was angry: "What do you mean to expel it?" It's all this time, are you still so cowardly as a prime minister? Do you still want to advocate peace with the Huns? ”
Seeing Liu Che getting angry, Xue Ze immediately knelt down and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
The current Liu Che is not the previous Liu Che, because he broke the myth that the Huns were undefeated, of course, more importantly, he now has a Wei Qing who supports him, and he is naturally tough when he speaks.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter is very important, once, we blindly sought peace with our relatives and tribute, but the Huns never thought of making us peaceful in essence, and they were secretly preparing for war all the time." Wei Qing analyzed.
Liu Che agreed with Wei Qing's words, looked directly at Xue Ze and asked, "Did you hear that?" Now, I tell you, there is only one way left for us, and that is to fight, to make the enemy afraid. ”
Liu Che stood up after speaking, and he had a sense of depression: "I already have a clear feeling that in the near future, the Hun Iron Cavalry will wave south, and we have no way to retreat, no way to retreat, do you understand?" ”
Liu Che repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to remind his teammates and remind the ministers of the Han Dynasty that they must see the situation clearly.
Regarding the matter of the incense building, it is actually just an episode that suddenly appeared in Liu Che's great ambition: "Han Anguo! ”
"The minister is here!" The duties of the Imperial Doctor must be reflected at this time.
Liu Che pondered for a moment and said: "As the head of criminal law, you will take the lead in this matter, and Wei Qing will assist you to find out this matter as soon as possible, and you will dig out the eyes of the enemy set in my henchmen one by one." ”
"Your Majesty, this matter is very wide-ranging." Wei Qing heard Ruoyao say that the background of the incense building is not ordinary.
Liu Che glared at Han Anguo, and had already told him the answer with his eyes.
Han Anguo deeply comprehended the holy will: "Your Majesty rest assured, no matter who is involved, the minister will be strict." ”
Liu Che was very satisfied with this answer, but he still wanted to take this opportunity to knock on the three bigwigs: "You must remember that I am not the emperor, and I hope that my right hand and right hand can play a role, rather than blindly being promoted and rich." ”
Everyone threw up their hands to listen to the teaching: "No! ”
"Let's all go back, think about the future of Dahan, Dahan can't be like before, absolutely not, at least here in me, there must be a change!" Liu Che's determination is very strong.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Wei Qing, you stay!"
……
The corridor of the Weiyang Palace.
Wei Qing followed Liu Che and walked forward slowly, and the two talked and watched the night.
"Wei Qing, who do you think can be the prime minister in the DPRK now?" Liu Che suddenly asked.
Wei Qing was stunned: "Your Majesty, isn't it Prime Minister Xue Cheng?" ”
Liu Che stood still, blowing the cold wind in the distance, and the three bosses of the court couldn't keep up with his pace: "Do you know? I now have the heart of a strong man, Xue Ze, Han Anguo, and Hong Ping are all figures from the pre-emperor period after all. ”
Wei Qing has a deep understanding of Liu Che's current situation: "Your Majesty's intention is ready to be replaced?" ”
"It's not about preparing for a substitution, it's imperative and imminent." If Liu Che wants to reform the strong man, he must be decisive.
The prime minister is ranked as the third duke, with a high position, Wei Qing is really hard to say for a while, and according to Liu Che's standards and requirements, there is really no one who can take on this important responsibility.
Seeing that Wei Qing didn't speak, Liu Che said, "Do you know why I asked you to sit in Hong Ping's position that day?" ”
For this meaning, how could Wei Qing not understand it, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace." ”
"Huh!" Liu Che smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity, that old guy just wants to dominate the position and refuses to move." ”
Hong Ping refused to move his position, and Liu Che had no choice, who called this guy the patriarch of the first emperor, and he had a good relationship with the queen mother, and there had to be a decent reason for the demotion.
Looking back now, Liu Che still regrets his original decision, after Tian Wei's death, he wanted to directly dismiss the imperial lieutenant, but he thought that he had just ascended the throne, and his grasp of the imperial court was not very solid, and there was also an old lady Dou, so Liu Che did not say anything about the dismissal, but found Hong Ping to be a puppet.
But now that I think about it, Hong Ping is not a good type, he dominates the position and does not leave, he just wants to really rank among the three princes, in modern terms, to solve the problem of high-ranking officials, and does not want to do the affairs of high-ranking officials as a deputy state-level.
"But I can tell you clearly, from now on you have to quickly change your role, and a strong man must first strengthen the army." After Liu Che finished speaking, he sighed and said: "There is no way to take the Hu people since Qin, the fundamental reason is that the military is not good, only by getting the military up first, we can have the capital to speak, and the Hu people will listen." ”
This is an epoch-making responsibility, let Wei Qing change his role, just want him to replace Hong Ping, Wei Qing suddenly felt enthusiastic, and replied firmly: "The minister will not disgrace the mission!" ”
"Good!" Liu Che patted Wei Qing's shoulder with great relief and sighed: "It would be great if Xue Ze and Han Anguo had such pride as you, hey, it's a pity, it's a pity that they are all old." ”
Wei Qing said: "Your Majesty is in a hurry, after all, they are all veterans of the first dynasty, and they have not yet adapted to Your Majesty's implementation of the new policy." ”
"Maybe!" Liu Che continued to walk forward: "Tell me about your considerations? ”
Wei Qing's consideration of the military aspects of the Han Dynasty actually has, first of all, the Han army must be rectified, before the siege of Mayi, most of the Han army has not fought for decades, although the army has been used in the middle of the Seven Kings Rebellion and other things, but the scale is small, the overall peace of the Han army is serious, the garrisons do not seek war, internal corruption, must be rectified.
Secondly, according to the characteristics of the Hu people, a fast anti-cavalry unit was specially formed, which could respond to the threat of the Hu people going south at any time, and the original intention of the establishment of this army must be offensive, not defensive......
Wei Qing lazily talked about a series of his own ideas, and Liu Che was very impressed when he heard it, this is the person he is looking for, this is the teammate he urgently needs now, he excitedly patted Wei Qing's shoulder again and said: "With your assistance, I believe that the light of the big man will shine to the ends of the earth, and my strong man can succeed!" ”
