Text Chapter 153 South of the Clouds Beacon Flames
As the saying goes, "Blessings are incomparable, but disasters are not singular." Things in the world are often like this, lucky things don't come continuously, bad things start, and the source of disaster comes to join in the fun.
On Changle Plateau, the young man who traveled in micro-clothes and rode the horse, after tasting the delicious food in the world, drank the tea served by Yuan Zhao, blowing the cool breeze of the wilderness, the eyes were empty, and the heat was dissipated.
However, the good times were short-lived, and the good time of the afternoon was soon interrupted. In the direction of Chang'an, it was as urgent as a spark, and a red feather messenger arrived.
The talented Sima Xiangru's words had not yet been written, he stopped his pen, and a drop of ink splashed on the bamboo slips, broken like a sword and black blood!
The emperor threw the two silk books directly on the case, turned around and walked into the hall, his face was not concealed with anger, like winter snow and ice, although it was summer, everyone felt cold.
Yuan Zhao glanced at it, and saw that there were only a few lines of Liao Liao on it, so he knew it, and glanced at everyone, signaling them to avoid and do their own thing.
Rolling up the urgent message from thousands of miles away, Yuan Zhao then followed in.
The hall was empty, and there seemed to be anger in the air. At this time, no one dared to enter, and even Han Yan stayed at the door in fear, secretly speculating about the emperor's mood in her heart.
Liu Che sat on the chair in the middle of the square, across the row of wide tables, his face was uncertain, his eyes were like swords, at this moment, what was revealed was the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven is angry, millions of floating corpses, and thousands of miles of blood are shed, that is by no means a vain legend!
"Yuan Zhao, you know what's going on!"
The tone was cold, although this is not the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, but the moment of casual conversation has passed, and their relationship at this moment is that of a monarch and a minister!
"The minister already knows. The smoke in two places in the south is rising again, and the border counties are in an emergency! Yuan Zhao arched his hand, looking calm.
Liu Che snorted, stood up, and walked back and forth a few steps, unable to tell whether he was angry or excited.
He inherited the prosperous foundation created by the two emperors of Wenjing, and also continued their policy of tolerance and appeasement towards their neighbors on all sides. For more than ten years, except for a defensive posture with the Xiongnu in the north, there has been a local war with the Xiongnu in the north, and the southern Xinjiang has always been safe and sound. There are no worries, which is also the reason why he dared to transfer the world's garrisons to set up sieges last year.
But now, those small semi-subordinate countries in southern Xinjiang and southwestern border towns dare to openly rebel! Conquer the neighbors, kill the Han people, and intensify, and even form a horizontal trend, if it is allowed to be strong, the south of Jianghuai will be in chaos!
"It's just a small country, a barbarian land, for many years, many supplies have relied on the big Han, and today I dare to do this, it's really hateful, I will send troops to kill it!"
Yuan Zhao frowned, and he didn't complain that the emperor was so angry, the world had been stable for so long, there were no soldiers in the mainland, and Li Min lived and worked in peace and contentment, presumably he was still very proud in his heart. Suddenly, the group of southern barbarians rose up to make trouble, didn't this slap him in the face nakedly? But if you gather a large army to conquer at this time, it is really not a good strategy!
"Your Majesty, let go of the wrath of the thunder, since the matter has happened, we should seek solutions separately, and we should not rush to make a decision."
"Oh? Boy, don't say these useless words. The majesty of the Han Empire cannot be trampled on! If you have anything else to do, just tell us about it. ”
Seeing that Liu Che still had a cold face, Yuan Zhao couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "You are cautious in dealing with the strong enemy Xiongnu, but you are so arrogant in dealing with these small southern countries, don't you understand the truth that 'scabies is enough to kill'?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has some thoughts in his heart, but how can the military affairs be discussed in the minister's private fiefdom? Please let Your Majesty drive back to the palace immediately, listen to the opinions of the ministers first, and then make a decision! ”
Yuan Zhao finished talking for a long time, but he didn't hear any movement, and when he raised his eyes to look quietly, he saw that the emperor had a strange look on his face, looking at him.
"Tut-tut! At a young age, you know so many rules and know the importance of words, which is good! Well, just before I remembered that you made that fish for me to eat, and you pulled out the origin of those cane sugars, saying that the sugarcane everywhere in the southwest is as cheap as thatch...... Well, isn't there a connection? Boy, you can't predict the prophet! ”
Yuan Zhao grinned, the gods and goddesses, this one really believes in this! I must not let him mistakenly think that he understands this, otherwise the trouble in the future will be endless.
"Your Majesty, where does the minister have that kind of ability, it's just a coincidence! However, with Xiaochen's thoughts, although he will use some swords this time, it is not a good opportunity for the big man. ”
Liu Che looked at him again, although he was still a little skeptical, but now was not the time to discuss that, anyway, this kid was in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't run out, and there would be time to force him to tell the truth in the future.
"I'm going back to Chang'an. In fact, this time the micro-service came out, and I was a little too willful. Hehe, when I go back, I don't know what those ministers will mumble in their hearts. Even the queen mother and the ancestors are afraid that they will not be able to listen to the nagging and teachings again. ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Zhao heard that there was a faint sadness in his tone, and when he raised his head in shock, Liu Che was retracting his gaze looking at the undulating grass in the wilderness, and his expression seemed to be nostalgic, and patted him on the shoulder.
"However, I like this way of relaxing, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to see more beautiful mountains and rivers in the future...... Let's go, go back with me, your courage and strategy are enough to participate in the government. In addition, I hope that fish can also be eaten in Weiyang Palace. Ha ha! ”
Yuan Zhao solemnly gave a salute, and this time his attitude was very serious.
Tete horseshoe, hunting flags, everyone looked at their little marquis, stepped on the war horse again, left Changle Yuan, which had been together with everyone for half a year, and followed the left of the visitors in Chang'an, gradually moving away, the remnant sun behind him was like blood, and the fierce ...... was fierce.
The emperor was not in Weiyang Palace for three days, and he didn't know where he went! Ignore politics and go out to play? The ministers of civil and military affairs who heard this rumor were surprised, stunned, secretly slandered, and beaten their chests and ......feet.
But in the morning of the day, when the young figure reappeared on the high throne, no one brought it up again, because the Son of Heaven had more important matters for them to decide.
First, the Dongyue Kingdom raised troops to attack Don'ou, and the troops went straight to Daoyue, and the king of Dongou asked for help! The king of Nanyue sent a letter to the Son of Heaven urgently!
Second, Ba and Shubian counties were in an emergency, and more than ten small countries in the southwest, such as Yunnan, Qiong, Zhen, Ranlong, and Siyu, rebelled, raided the Han land, looted the officials and people, and the local bandits rose up when they heard the news, causing the land of the three counties and ten counties to fall into panic and turmoil, and the local county guard asked the imperial court to send troops to support the counterinsurgency.
Listening to the eunuch who said the content of Hongling's urgent message in a loud voice, there was a temporary silence in the hall, and several ministers glanced at each other, they had already known the news as early as yesterday, it was related to the sword soldiers, and they didn't know what the emperor's attitude was, so no one answered immediately.
Liu Che, the son of the Han Dynasty, was high up, his face was expressionless, his eyes swept through the Nine Dragons crown to scan the ministers, and he saw that the old gods were there, looking at the nose and nose, and sitting quietly, they didn't want to be the head bird. As I expected, these people have been comfortable for too long, and they are so sad that they want to rely on them to make a difference!
Thinking of this, the picture of yesterday on Changle Plateau appeared in his mind for no reason, that kid and the group of people around him, that place, that kind of vitality, he only got along with them for a long time, and his mood seemed to be several years younger......
His gaze followed the past, and at the end of Wenchen's class, he finally found the shadow of the young man. It's just that it's too far away to see what the expression on his face is. The clothes are worn in a regular manner, in line with the identity of a marquis.
"There is no need to bring up other matters at today's court meeting, they will all be postponed to me. These two things must be negotiated to come up with a result, one by one, when to list the charter, when to retreat from the dynasty, have you heard clearly? Hum! Let's think about how to deal with the crisis between the two Vietnamese! ”
All the civil and military officials were shocked, the emperor was on fire? It seems that today's words and deeds should be more cautious!
Since Tian Jue took over as prime minister, the post of captain of the Han Dynasty has been temporarily vacant, and there are many speculations among the ministers in this matter, and they don't know who His Majesty the Emperor prefers, and for so long, that seat has been vacant.
Since Tian Jue was the head of the hundred officials, this was the first large-scale important court meeting he had attended, and when he sat in this position, he found that the case in front of him was much larger than others', and the cushion under his buttocks was more comfortable. I can't help but feel extraordinary, haha! I didn't expect that I, Tian Jue, would also have this day, no matter what the emperor's intentions were, anyway, I would be the prime minister, and finally there would be no hateful back of Dou Ying'er in front of me.
"Why is the prime minister looking left and right? If you have any high opinions, let's talk about it first! Huh?"
Tian Jue wanted to slap himself in the mouth, and secretly scolded himself for not being able to hold his breath. It's good, being the first to be named, but what is good?
On the way to the court today, he made up his mind to only be a turtle with a shrunken head and not express any opinions. I really can't hide from it, so I'll play haha and mud.
What Dongyue raised troops, Nanyi rebelled, he had already guessed whose handiwork it was, in that person's chess game, Nanguo Fengyan was just a cloth at the beginning, and a series of killing moves would follow.
Tian Ying was eager to sit on the mountain next to him and watch the tiger fight, looking forward to the more violent this chaos would come, how could he jump into this troubled water by himself!
However, since the emperor asked about his head, as the prime minister, he couldn't help but answer.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that since the Spring and Autumn Period, for hundreds of years, Liangyue and several small countries near it have been in remote and wild places, and the people under his rule are extremely poor and tired, and it is the norm to attack and plunder each other. Although nominally subordinate to our Central Plains, they are capricious, and it is not a matter of one or two times. Since the time of the former Qin Shi Huang, the war between them has actually been ignored. Now why should our Han Dynasty waste troops, money and food to distinguish justice for these barbarians! ”
I have to say that there are many people who are self-contained and short-sighted among the ministers of the DPRK and China. After listening to Tian Jue's words, he immediately agreed with him. Of course, it's not all sycophancy to flatter the prime minister, but some upright courtiers also think so from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu Che frowned, greatly disappointed! This is not what he wants to hear, nor is it the beginning of the martial arts he wants!
The Son of Heaven of the Great Han straightened up from the throne, looked over all the high-crowned belts, vermilion robes and purple robes, and looked in the direction of the corner of the hall, even if the court was all decayed, fortunately, he still had a hope!
"The prime minister's words are ridiculous! This is a misguided statement! The expectant didn't disappoint him.
In the middle of summer, the sun was dazzling, the wind passed through the Hanyuan Palace, and the light slanted in, the young man stood up, and the clear voice reached everyone's ears, clear and upright.
