Text Chapter 546 Plug the sword light to cover the dust
Chang'an, with its green trees and gurgling water in the Shanglin Garden, is a good place for summer. Over the years, the royal hunting ground has been greatly expanded, and it is far more large and luxurious than it used to be.
To be rich is to be capricious! The emperor was no exception. Thinking about the fact that Emperor Wen wanted to build a terrace, he asked the minister to calculate that it would cost a middle-class family a year's money, so he had no choice but to give up. Through this incident, it can be seen that in addition to the emperor's good reputation of cherishing the people's livelihood, the shortage of state finances is also an unavoidable reality.
Whenever he thinks of the constraints of the emperors, compared with the present, Emperor Liu Che spontaneously has a sense of pride. Now the last thing the imperial court lacks is money. Not to mention that the wealth in the state treasury is piled up, and it cannot be used all year round, and even the rope that wears the copper coin is rotten. Even in his small treasury of Weiyang Palace, the accumulated money is enough to cover half the world's income.
With money, you can spend it however you like! Not to mention that the prime minister and the Taizhong doctor in charge of the treasury would not say anything, even some ministers who liked to restrain the emperor with the virtue of "advocating frugality" began to gradually shut their mouths.
After several years of hard work, using the means of "Tui En Order", the power of the domestic princes and kings was further divided, and they could no longer form a threat to the imperial court. It can be said that this henchman who has plagued Weiyang Palace for decades has finally been completely solved.
With the successive victories of the Han army in foreign wars, some unstable areas that posed a threat to the country's periphery were gradually pacified. Some forces hostile to the Han dynasty were largely eliminated.
Emperor Liu Che's mood was simply getting more and more comfortable. Especially in recent times, the Han army has been reported frequently, the biggest enemy in the north, the Xiongnu have been defeated one after another, and the latest battle report says that the Xiongnu Dadanyu has been besieged in Longcheng!
This news almost made him so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu actually had today! The humiliation of Emperor Gaozu being trapped in Baishan Mountain, the hatred of Empress Gao's "servant" was passed down by the Huns, and the sorrow of the princesses and relatives of the past dynasties...... Today finally has a chance to wash away the shame of the past.
Although he is in his forties, Emperor Liu Che is still fierce. Under the stimulation of such an emotional uplift, even the beauties of the harem have nothing new, and they are not interested in going to the terrace to sit and talk with those alchemists. What he wants to do now is to gallop on horseback and bend the bow to shoot!
Since you can't go to the battlefield to experience the turmoil in person, then you can go to the forest garden on Zhongnan Mountain to have a good time, which can be regarded as a chat for comfort.
So, the emperor, who was full of interest, led a group of close ministers to the Shanglin Yuan hunting ground, under the protection of the vast palace guards and the Yulin army. Of course, such an activity similar to an outing, the most favored beauties in the harem still have to be brought with you. As for the empress, there is no need, she needs to sit in the palace, and the emperor has not taken her out for several years.
And Li Wanyu, who is in the harem, naturally wants to drive with her, not to mention the pillow wind that blew in the middle of the night last night, it's just that her knowledge and knowledge are tactful, and the emperor has been feeling more and more inseparable from her recently.
The first day of the hunt was a great one. Chang'an doesn't have to rush back, there are still a few days before the day when the kings will meet him, so he can rest assured.
Emperor Liu Che, who was dressed in a strong suit with scarves and arrow sleeves, stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the land of Guanzhong under his feet. But I saw that the mountains were like the sea, the remnant sun was like blood, the clouds were stormy, and the waves were angry. Just a few words, it is all thunder and thunder, hundreds of millions of trillions of bows, open arms, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are between the palms of your hands!
Such a feeling, cool in one word! The majesty of the great son of heaven should be so!
Just when His Majesty the Emperor felt that he was at the top of heaven and man, there was an urgent report from the front line. This time it was the joint recital of Changle Hou Yuanzhao and the crown prince, and after the flying horse was sent to Chang'an, Sun Hong, the prime minister who was in charge of staying behind, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent it to the emperor.
Emperor Liu Che took it in his hand and took a cursory look, his eyebrows moved slightly, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"The two boys have a lot of ideas...... Hahaha! Do you know what kind of good news is said above?"
After reading the part of Yuan Zhao's song asking the emperor to approve the establishment of the grassland economic belt, he only looked down a few times, and he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.
Everyone on the left and right looked up at the emperor's expression, although there were still some doubts, but this must be good news.
"Your Majesty, can you allow Weichen to guess?"
The nearest favorite is named Dong Yan, he bowed slightly, with a smile on his face and an elegant expression, but he was an out-and-out beautiful man in the Han Dynasty.
Both inside and outside the court know that since Dongfang Shuo served as a servant, and Han Yan began to join the army from Rong, and now succeeds Li Dang as the general of the Yulin Army of Weiyang Palace, several children of the family have become confidants and ministers around the emperor.
And among them, the emperor trusted two people the most. One is Li Yannian, the younger brother of Mrs. Li of Shuyu Palace, and the other is Dong Yan.
Of course, the talents of these two people cannot be compared with those of Yan Zhu, Dongfang Shuo, Yan An, and Han Yan, but they serve the Son of Heaven with softness, and they are extremely boastful in their words, which is exactly what his appetite is for His Majesty the Emperor, who has already begun to be complacent.
"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”
The emperor was in a good mood, but he became interested, and he looked at his favorite minister, with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty! Wechen once heard that dragons and phoenixes ride the clouds, and tigers and leopards follow the wind. Today's royal drive is here, the mountains, forests, grass and trees are all bowing down, and thousands of mountains and thousands of mountains echo, which is a sign of great luck! If the expectation is good, Weichen guesses that the omen is in the north, and the heroic soldiers of our Han must have achieved an unexpected victory, right? Hehe! ”
People are handsome and can speak, so it's no wonder that they are favored by the Son of Heaven! Although the person next to him was a little secretly disdainful in his heart, he knew that this person could not be offended, and his face must not be exposed.
Sure enough, when Emperor Liu Che heard his words, he laughed even more. He nodded as he raised the note in his hand to everyone.
"The dragon city of the Huns has fallen into the hands of the Han army! Shan Yu Yizhi broke through the siege and fled north, and is now in the midst of the encirclement and interception of our Han soldiers...... Ha ha! I want to let the whole world know about such great news immediately! ”
The mountain wind blows through the grass and trees of Zhongnan Mountain, the pine waves whimper, and the stone walls echo. Even if the wood and stone are ruthless, hearing such news, I am afraid that it will quietly sprout!
Emperor Liu Che stood high on a mountain rock, facing the direction of the hunting wind, no one saw it, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and quickly disappeared into the wind. In these two simple sentences just now, he tried his best to suppress the surging emotions in his chest. If the ancestors and fathers have spirits in heaven, they should also be with them at this moment!
As if he was bent by a gust of wind, whether it was a general, a minister or a guard, whether it was a palace person, a soldier or an ordinary servant, they all bowed to the ground together, and the mountain shouted long live! Even if the rocks broke the knees and the bushes pierced the skin, no one paid attention to them at this moment.
Such cheers spread from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain in an instant, and the entire Shanglin Garden was boiling. The sound of "long live" is endless. Needless to say, the young Yulin Army guards were flushed with red blood and blood surging up, and some of the elderly ministers couldn't kneel down to bow to the sky, and their faces were full ......of tears.
Shame for nearly a hundred years! If you go back to the Dog Rong Rebellion in the Western Weekend Year, the time has been nearly a thousand years. The industrious and kind-hearted Chinese nation has always been pressed and beaten by barbarians, and even if they have made several powerful counterattacks, the results achieved are extremely limited.
Now, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty have achieved such results, and it is not too much to describe their greatness. This is not the victory of one person, nor the victory of one army, but the support of the entire Han Dynasty and the collective contribution made by the people of all the Chinese nations!
"Yuanqing! I swear to the heavens that in this life, as long as you live up to me...... I will not fail you! ”
Emperor Liu Che looked at the vast north from afar and silently made an oath in his heart.
For such a major news, the various forces learned not much later than the emperor. After the great shock, many actions to get the most out of it began.
After His Majesty the Emperor returned to the resting Shanglin Yuan Palace, the enchanting and beautiful Li Wanyu used a little trick to win the opportunity for his brother Li Xuanji to participate in the Battle of Mobei. For such a small request, the emperor did not pay too much attention to it, and Li Xuanji's military talent still existed. Since he wants to be motivated, of course he will be given this opportunity.
After all, after the end of the Han-Hungarian War, the power of the empress and the crown prince was too great in the army...... For these hidden dangers, as the emperor, he had to make some arrangements in advance.
Imperial power, the most dazzling crown in the world, cannot be touched by anyone, not even the closest people, until you have the determination to take it off!
"By the way, I said to the people who went to pass the edict, when Li Xuanji led the army north to pass through the Longcheng camp, he went to see how the life and death of the Xiongnu Shan Yu was, it was best to live! Then, let him send someone to escort him back! ”
The emperor was satisfied, hugged his body like mutton fat and white jade, closed his eyes and said another casually. The beauty in her arms was already overjoyed and relapsed...... The night was deep, and the murmur was long.
is also a king in the world, but the situation of Shan Yi Zhiyi at the moment is very different from that of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
"Yuan Zhao ......? You must be! I really didn't expect that I would lose at the hands of an ordinary young man. What are you doing here? Come and see the jokes? Hahaha! ”
Huddled in the corner, unkempt and wounded, Shan Yu Khan's eyes radiated like a hungry wolf's light, staring viciously at the smiling guy, eager to pounce on it and tear it to pieces.
"Huh...... I'm here to see you on your way! ”
