The next day, in front of the Hall of Merit, dozens of officials knelt on the ground, asking for forgiveness for their children and clansmen. Wen Han fixed his eyes and sneered. I saw that under the main hall, among the dozens of officials who knelt down to worship, there were other guards Zhongdao, Li Qiang, the secretary of the Zhongshu Ling Cheng Dong, and Gong Cao Pei Fang (Pei Yuanshao's son) and other important ministers.

Wen Han laughed angrily, got up angrily, pointed at His Highness's ministers, and shouted.

"You and other heirs and clansmen all have a lot of food and food, and you are rich and rich. Now he dares to exploit the Hu people, prolong the period of their enslavement, and force the Hu people to rebel!! As an important minister of the Tang Dynasty in the lonely west, you should kill your relatives in righteousness and enforce the law impartially. But you still dare to be in this hall of merit and ask for solitary forgiveness of their sins. You still have shame!!? ”

Wen Han's voice was like thunder, and his anger was surging, and when the dozens of officials heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they wept one after another, hoping that Wen Han would be punished lightly and avoid the death penalty. Wen Han was so angry that he even ordered that anyone who dared to intercede should be removed from his official position. As soon as Wen Han's order fell, no one dared to speak again. Wen Han got up and retreated into the back hall. The crowd mourned and dispersed. After a while, Xi Zhi turned into the back hall and met Wen Han. Wen Han had a cold face and did not speak. Seeing this, Xi Zhicai sighed and persuaded him.

"Not long after the founding of the Western Tang Dynasty, another war is imminent. The king's law enforcement was too rigid, and it was absolutely not beneficial to the Western Tang Dynasty. ”

"Hmph. According to what the prime minister said, is it possible that Lone should condone these corrupt officials and corrupt officials? If this is the case, the Western Tang will be destroyed by these beasts sooner or later!! ”

Wen Han shook his sleeves and turned around, and drank angrily. Xi Zhicai listened to the words, bowed, and condensed.

"The implication is too great, and the state pastor Gao Shun, don't drive Wei Zhongdao, Li Qiang, the secretary of the middle school, Cheng Dong and others are all here. Perverting the law for bribes is a capital offense. If the lord and the prince increase the punishment according to the law, it is inevitable that the people will be uneasy and the court will be unstable. It is advisable for the lord to be punished lightly, or at least to avoid the death penalty. ”

"No jokes! How can Lone go back on his word! The more indulgent corruption is, the more rampant it will be! As the prime minister of a country, you should enforce the law impartially, but you can let it go!! What's more, if the law is not tight, corrupt officials and corrupt officials will take luck and despise the law of the country! ”

"The king is angry. Now it is really forced by the times, and it is advisable to follow the power now, not to stick to common sense. ”

When Wen Han heard this, his face sank, and his eyes shimmered. After a while, the great Sima Xu Shu rushed over, and he also hoped that Wenhan would be tolerant and avoid his capital crime. Wen Han looked at the two of them, hesitated for a long time, and finally said two words in a row, and ordered Xi Zhicai to deal with the matter, and left angrily. Xi Zhicai sighed and glanced at Xu Shu, how could the two of them not know the truth of Wen Han's words, but there were too many implications in this, and they had to take power.

Tang Wang Wenhan will deal with the matters related to the violation of the law in Xiqiang and Beiqiang, and hand it over to the prime minister Xi Zhicai. A few days later, Xi Zhicai issued an order to confiscate the property of all the offending judges, and all the offending officials were to be forced to work according to their crimes. The minimum number of years of labor is five years, and the maximum number of years of labor is nearly 12 years. Although this is the case, at least he was spared a death, and the officials and ministers of the DPRK and China were grateful for Wen Han's kindness.

The matter of disposal is tentatively settled. said that Wen Han was upset because of the chaos caused by Qianghu. Many ministers in the DPRK and China wanted to send troops to suppress it, but if this was the case, the Hu people would inevitably resist desperately, and the Western Tang Dynasty would also lack a lot of labor power, which would make the internal situation unstable. One day, Wen Han was planning in the imperial garden in the palace, and Cai Yan accompanied him. The two saw from afar that their son Wen Shun was practicing Tai Chi in front of the water tank.

Wen Han fixed his eyes and saw Wen Shun's hands into the water, the water was rippling, and the water tank was faintly cracking. Wen Han saw it, his expression froze, and he walked away. Wen Shun noticed the sound behind him, turned around to look, and saw that it was his father, and hurriedly bowed. Wen Han bowed slightly, stared at his expression, and said to Wen Shun.

"Shun'er, do you have any doubts?"

Wen Shun listened, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in response.

"Children are foolish. I heard my father once say that if it is Tai Chi Dacheng, it can be melted into the water, and when the move starts, the water will not be able to splash. The child has studied this technique for many years, and in recent years, he has more understanding, so he wants to try it. Unexpectedly, the hands are like water, and the water has resistance, and it cannot be melted at all. I also hope that my father will teach me. ”

Wen Han listened to the words, his face was calm, he thought for a while, pointed to the water in the tank, and opened his mouth to speak.

"Water is light and soft, and it melts into all things. The principle of Tai Chi is intended to be integrated. You are too domineering, and your heart is to subdue the water. The two are inherently different, and if you want to force it, you have your own resistance. Why don't Shun'er go with it, not in uniform, but for integration. ”

Wen Shun listened to this, his face was stunned, as if he was half-aware and half-understood, and then fell into deep thought. Wen Han didn't want to disturb, so he left with Cai Yan, and while walking, he thought about Qianghu in his mind. Cai Yan watched silently, and she also heard about the rebellion of Xiqiang and Beiqiang. Suddenly, Cai Yan opened her red mouth lightly and said softly.

"The king actually knows that there is a difference between the two, if you want to blindly coerce, you must have resistance, and you should take integration as the top. Why not follow the example of the Hu people? ”

When Wen Han heard this, he suddenly stopped his pace, suddenly woke up, and finally let go of the brows that had been locked for many days, and laughed.

The next day, the Wenhan Conference commanded the military in the Hall of Merit, announcing the officials' intention to make the Han people and the Hu people blend. The officials all changed color when they heard this, and it can be seen that Wen Han usually hates people of different races, but this time he wants to blend in, and the hundreds of officials in the palace can't react for a while. Taifu Zhang Hong, with a condensed expression, attended Bingdao.

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. What's more, the Hu people have been labored by my Xitang for a long time, and if they want to get along, they are afraid that it will be extremely difficult. I hope the king will think twice. ”

As soon as Zhang Hong's voice fell, many soldiers in the hall who hated foreign races echoed each other. Wen Han heard this, but shook his head.

That's not true. Nowadays, the Hu people have been receiving Han rites from me for several years, and most of them have become accustomed to it. If it weren't for corruption, the Hu people would have been subjected to Han rites long ago. What's more, Hu rebelled, which was really the fault of a lonely official. If he wants to be forced, he will fight with all his might, and he will not rest until he dies, so that his life will be ruined. At the same time, both the Hu people and the Han people are the descendants of Yan and Huang, but the rites and texts are different. Therefore, the lonely inherently wished, in order to integrate, Han, Hu for a family. ”

As soon as Wen Han's words fell, Zhang Hong's face sank, and he seemed to have understood. Xi Zhicai chuckled, but he immediately responded to the meeting. Soon, Xu Shu, Tian Feng and others also chimed in. At this point, there was no sound of opposition in the Hall of Merit. Wen Han then consulted with the officials, and then decided to settle the plan, and ordered the northern land to guard Zhang Xiu, and rushed to Jincheng on the same day to appease the Hu people. At the same time, he sent people to Bingzhou to teach Gao Shun to appease the Hu people. Wen Han's decision was settled, the seats dispersed, and he moved into the back hall, just about to take a break. Suddenly, Wen Shun rushed to greet him. After the salute, Wen Shun asked.

"The child was very upset when he heard that his father had recently rebelled against Hu. I don't know if the child can help with this. ”

Wen Han frowned when he heard this, and fixed his eyes on it. Today's Wen Shun is thirteen years old, extremely burly, his arms seem to have the power to tear a tiger, and when he was a child, Zuo Ci used mana to transform his muscles and bones and dredge his blood. Later, Yu Ji taught the technique of strengthening the body. The amount of food on weekdays is amazing, eating three buckets of rice, and there are monkey wine to practice. Wen Shun's body can be described as unusual, unusually strong, clearly a child who is only thirteen years old, but he looks stronger than many fierce generals in the court.

Wen Han also had the intention of exercising Wen Shun, and originally wanted to take him to Xichuan with the army. But he was afraid of the fierce war, Wen Shun was young and arrogant, he didn't know what to do, and he was negligent.

And the Qiang are in chaos, most of them are rabble, and their soldiers and soldiers are not well equipped, not to mention that at the moment, appeasement is the priority. Wen Han thought for a while, his eyes froze, and he ordered Wen Shun to pack up on the same day, and the next day he rushed to Bingzhou to envoys, and went to Bingzhou together to help Gao Shun appease the Hu people. Wen Shun was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked Wen Han at the moment. Wen Han then ordered someone to take a pair of armor from the military treasury and give it to Wen Shun. This armor was specially created by Wen Han in recent years, and it was originally prepared for the day of Wen Shun's expedition. Wen Shun took the armor, smiled like a child, and thanked him repeatedly. Wen Han's eyes couldn't help showing a little kindness, he was usually treated like a strict father in front of Wen Shun. But in fact, Wen Han's love for Wen Shun is not inferior to his mother Cai Yan.

That night, Cai Yan learned that Wen Shun was about to go on an expedition, sighed, and did not stop him, but just summoned Wen Shun over, gave him the battle robe sewn by his own hands, and instructed Wen Shun not to be reckless in everything, and after arriving in the state, he should not put the prince on the shelf, but obey Gao Shun's order. Wen Shun was taught by Zhang Hong and Tian Feng since he was a child, both of them are rigorous and meticulous people, Wen Shun's ears and eyes are rendered, and his temperament is quite similar to the two. It is precisely because of this that Wen Han and Cai Yan were relieved that Wen Shun was only thirteen years old, and he went to the battlefield.

A few days later, Wen Shun went to Bingzhou with the envoys. Wen Han didn't see him off, just looked at it from a distance on the palace pavilion and sighed softly.

"Lonely Lin'er, it's finally time to go on the expedition."

"The king doesn't have to worry about it. Although the prince is young, his martial arts are extraordinary, and his mind is also meticulous, which is enough to protect himself. And with Boyi sitting in the army, there will be no big problem. The king can set up a banquet and wait, just waiting for the triumphant return of the prince. ”

Taifu Zhang Hong said softly beside him, with a little relief in his eyes. Wen Shun has been taught by him since he was a child, and Zhang Hong knows best what his temperament is. Wen Han laughed when he heard this.

Since Taifu also said this. The lonely can rest easy. However, now that Hu rebelled and went to Xichuan, the expedition to Xichuan has been repeatedly delayed, and Taifu still needs to prepare closely. When the Hu people are certain, Lone will lead the army of the country to Xichuan!! ”

"Whoa!!"

Zhang Hong bowed his hand, and quickly retreated and did what he did.

Moreover, Wen Shun rushed to Taiyuan with the envoy, and Gao Shun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wen Shun. Wen Shun was polite and told the past. When Gao Shun heard this, the tiger's eyes unconsciously gave birth to a bit of different colors. There is no need to wait to appease Qianghu. Gao Shun ordered all his troops and horses on the same day and rushed to the Shuofang realm. Hu Ren confronted ** for nearly half a month earlier, but because Wen Han had never made a decision, he was fine. Gao Shun rushed to Shuofang and led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Linrong City. The Hu people in the city saw that there were Han soldiers and horses coming, and they were immediately shocked, and the thief leader Yuwen Ke quickly gathered his soldiers and horses and rushed out of the city, and set up a random formation.

I saw Yu Wenke leading more than 20,000 Hu people, and the Hu people were in a messy formation. When the ** sergeant on the other side saw it, they all sneered. It is said that this Yuwen Ke is a member of the Yuwen clan, and the Yuwen clan has been collapsing since Yuwen Tianyou's death, and in the past year, it was even more tragic to be wiped out by Ke Paowushui. Yuwen Ke was one of the only people who escaped at that time. This Yu Wenke is only twenty-two years old, but he looks powerful, has the courage of being invincible, and is quite strategic. Yu Wenke heard the ridicule on the other side, raised his eyebrows, slapped the horses suddenly, and ran out of the city, scolding with guns and shouting and shouting.

"Han dog!! You wait for your words but don't believe it, and you want to drive us and other Hu people to be slaves for the rest of your life, and we would rather die than give in!! Dare to fight to the death with my Yuwen Ke!? ”

I saw that Yu Wenke was young, but he looked like a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were huge and powerful, and he was very heroic.
