Chapter 171: Surrounded and beaten
Zongzheng Liu Qianyong's self-rebellion finally showed his feet, and the stone that had been pressing on Gongsun Hong's heart was like an unloading truck, comfortable, and after asking Liu Che for advice, Gongsun Hong handed over the case to Tingwei.
At this point, Zongzheng Liu Qianyong also became the first highest official to participate in the rebellion of the vassal states won by the imperial court.
What makes Gongsun Hong even more incredible is that due to the lack of management and supervision, Zongzheng Liu Qianyong's collusion with the vassal states is not just a simple person, it is simply a nest case, and more than half of the people in the entire Zongzheng Mansion are involved.
Liu Qianyong, who was arrested, was very unconvinced and refused to explain anything, a posture of seeing death as home, because his son and related family members had already entered Huainan Kingdom, and he had already dealt with the aftermath and was ready to be exposed.
In the end, Liu Che's handling was also very arbitrary and fast.
All the officials involved were secretly beheaded or distributed, and the Zongzheng Mansion was temporarily directly managed by Prime Minister Sun Hong, and it was announced to the outside world that the former Zongzheng Liu Qianyong had another important use, so as to perfunctory the vassal states.
The inner ghost has been found, and there is only one outside.
Two days later, in the evening, Prime Minister Sun Hong and Ruoyao, who had been anxious, finally waited for an exciting news that Wei Qing was back, and it was only two people back.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister." Wei Qing wore armor and walked quickly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Familiar voice, familiar pace, familiar appearance, it's been almost a year, Ruoyao saw Wei Qing for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling of wanting to cry.
"Oh, my General Wei, you are back, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and His Majesty are looking forward to you." Gongsun Hong's tone was a little reproachful, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let's go, enter the palace." ”
Wei Qing actually had a hard time all the way, he was patrolling the border, but he heard that the Huns were going south, so he organized the Shanggu defenders to resist, so it was too late to come back, and all the way down, his heart was thinking about the war in the northern Xinjiang.
Sure enough, it was a career-oriented man, and a beautiful woman with a standard ambition stood in front of him and could act as if he didn't see anything, Ruoyao smiled and shouted: "General." ”
Wei Qing stood still, and then he reacted, Ruoyao was still there, so he turned around and returned to the house, looked at Ruoyao affectionately and said, "Hey, you don't seem to have changed much, hehe." ”
"Do you still want Ruoyao to change? Becoming a man? Ruoyao joked.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the two were actually so embarrassed to club.
Ruoyao saw that Wei Qing was a little embarrassed, so she asked, "What about Madam?" ”
Madam! Wei Qing suddenly remembered, and there was a big thing: "Yes, yes, yes, my wife and I separated in Shanggu and went back to Chang'an first, she is slowly rushing back, this army is in chaos, you go to pick it up." ”
"You can't do it alone." Gongsun Hong stepped forward and arranged: "You bring a guard, just in case." ”
Gongsun Hong is an old minister and has experience in this area, and the two armies are at war, and there are many things that endanger the families of military personnel.
Seeing Ruoyao's surprised face, Wei Qing didn't have time to say anything, so he could only pat Ruoyao's shoulder with both hands and said, "It's becoming more and more like a female general, hahahaha, come on." ”
When Gongsun Hong saw this, he sighed and shook his head and said, "It's not enough to just refuel, it's not always a matter if you can't always accompany the general." After speaking, he looked at Ruoyao and continued: "Go ahead, and make a relationship with Mrs. Shen, hahahaha." ”
"Uncle Prime Minister." Ruoyao heard depressing language from this tone, and she was still married.
Where is Wei Qing in the mood to flirt with her sister now, there are 100,000 people in the north who are in a hurry, so she has to put out the fire first: "Let's go, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." ”
Looking at the old and the young, one supporting the other and walking quickly outside the house, Ruoyao had an indescribable tragedy in her heart, these are two giants, one solves the internal trouble, and the other solves the external enemy.
One has dedicated his life to the cause of a strong man, and even his own family doesn't know whether he is dead or alive now, and the other can't even take care of his family when he returns home, and he wants to go north to fight the enemy even if he can't even take care of his son.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your Majesty." Wei Qing walked quickly towards Jianzhang Palace, his steps and voice were sonorous and powerful.
Wei Qing, who Liu Che had been thinking about day and night, finally came back, and Song Yujun, Wu Lin and others had already accompanied Liu Che in various studies.
Liu Che got up and stepped forward quickly, "Why did you only come back now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was about to leave south to return to Chang'an, and he encountered King Youxian attacking Shanggu County, so the minister came back late." Wei Qing felt very guilty after speaking, and then knelt down and said, "Please punish Your Majesty." ”
"Get up, get up." Liu Che hurriedly stepped forward to help, and then said, "Do you know how critical the situation is now? The prime minister has just dug up the ghosts of the vassal states in the court. ”
Liu Che took Wei Qing to the map as he spoke, three big baskets, each basket was full of bamboo slips, Liu Che picked up one casually and said: "Look, look, there are enemies in all directions." ”
Wei Qing began to sort out the bamboo slips, he had to figure out the situation of the matter, and after more than half an hour of tidying up, Wei Qing's vest was cold, and he came to a grim conclusion: the Han Dynasty was being beaten by a group.
This time the Hu people went south, which was a retaliatory attack organized and carried out by the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu himself.
After the fall of Longcheng, the military ministers could not afford to be ill, so they recuperated in the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and now they have just returned to Longcheng after the illness, and they personally planned this retaliatory attack.
It can be seen from the piles of battle reports that Zuoxian King Huhante invaded Yuyang County again, Xianbei invaded Youbeiping, Yizhi Xian invaded Dai County, Aries King and Lou Fu Wang invaded Yanmen County, Youxian King invaded Shanggu County, Hutu King invaded Longxi County, Nanyue also attacked the southern part of Dahan with fire and robbery, Xiqiang attacked Bian County, wolf smoke rose everywhere, and they were all besieged and beaten for a while.
The Wenchen generals present all knew that this was the first serious crisis since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and it was rare in history.
"Your Majesty, can the vassal states be sure?" Wei Qing's thinking about the whole situation is already very clear, the current enemy, what he can think of is the same as Liu Che and Gongsun Hong, will the vassal states take the opportunity to rebel? After all, there were lessons in the period of the first emperor.
Liu Che let out a long sigh, to be honest, he was not sure, now he can only find a way to stabilize these vassal states, so he only cleaned up the ghosts in the court, if anyone wants to rebel, there is really no way to stop it.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is no better than the Rebellion of the Seven Kings during the period of the first emperor, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings has no external pressure, and it coexists peacefully with the Xiongnu." Wei Qing is also afraid of internal and external collusion, if this continues, the court will really be finished.
Seeing this, Gongsun Hong stepped forward and said: "You can rest assured of this, as long as we fight quickly, the vassal states will not dare to do anything, I am afraid that this battle will become a tug-of-war with the Xiongnu, once it is dragged on for a year and a half, it will be difficult to say." ”
