Chapter 63 The Wisdom of Disaster to the Country and the People
The nobles want to get rich, and the emperor wants to be gentle.
The two are too different to find a focus that is acceptable to both sides.
As a result, no consensus was reached in this big debate.
When parting, Liu Che smiled and did not show any displeasure.
It was to look at Yun Lang's gaze, which made Yun Lang's back chill.
Sure enough, just when Yun Lang and Cao Xiang were about to line up to leave the palace gate, they received a message from Sui Yue, saying that Liu Che had something important to discuss with them.
Sui Yue shouted loudly.
So, Yun Lang and Cao Xiang once again became the target of everyone.
In full view of everyone, Yun Lang and Cao Xiang had no choice but to follow Sui Yue back to Weiyang Palace.
When I came to the main hall, I saw Liu Che was a different picture, several palace lamps fell to the ground, and it seemed that Liu Che had stepped on it a few times, and it was broken.
The incense burner in the shape of a crane with a long beak could have spewed out a good-smelling white mist, but now it fell to the ground, the lid on its back rolled out far away, and the incense ash was sprinkled all over the ground, and several eunuchs were frightened to hold the hot incense ash with sparks in their hands and put it into the box, and it was taboo to throw the fire source so casually in the wooden palace.
Liu Che sat very steadily, the grape wine in the jade bowl seemed to have ice fish added, and the sound of broken ice colliding came when he shook it slightly.
It was the eunuch who served him to drink with a big dirty footprint on his face, and it seemed that not long ago, this eunuch should still be lying at Liu Che's feet.
Without permission, you are not allowed to come within nine feet of the emperor without reason, which is required by the law.
So, Yun Lang and Cao Xiang chose to pay tribute to the emperor twenty feet away, and then prepared to stay at the door and not get close to the emperor.
"Very shrewd, ready to offend both?"
Liu Che's middle-aged man's deep and mellow voice sounded in the hall.
Cao Xiang said with a smile: "Weichen's family does not keep slaves, so this matter has nothing to do with my brother!" ”
Liu Che snorted and said, "Even my nephew doesn't support me, who else can I count on?" ”
Yun Lang was very afraid that Cao Xiang would be deceived by Liu Che, and looked at his brother anxiously, for fear that he would say something that was in line with the emperor's intentions.
Cao Xiang arched his hand and said: "Although Weichen is His Majesty's nephew, Weichen is also His Majesty's courtier.
The country is greater than the family, therefore, at this moment, Weichen is first His Majesty's courtier, and then His Majesty's nephew.
If it is a family matter, it is naturally decided by the uncle, but when it comes to state affairs, Weichen is in the same ...... as the military. ”
"Fart, everything you have is given by me, what kind of bullshit are you talking about the military camp at this time, come on, pull out and fight ......"
Seeing that the two stout eunuchs rushed over to drag Cao Xiang away, Yun Lang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, slow down!" ”
Yun Lang's words are useless, the eunuchs who should pounce are still pounced, at this time, if there is an unlucky person who makes the emperor vent his anger, the eunuchs can escape.
Liu Che looked at Yun Lang coldly and said, "If you want your brother not to be beaten, you can come up with a good way for me within a dozen days." ”
Yun Lang grabbed one of Cao Xiang's legs with one hand to prevent him from being dragged away by the eunuch, his brain was running rapidly, he couldn't care about anything, and he had to get through the predicament in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a way."
Liu Che said coldly: "Speak, if you don't speak well, you will be a difficult brother!" ”
Yun Lang quickly organized the language in his head, while quickly looking at the emperor's expression.
He was desperate, and there was no possibility of accommodation between the emperor and his ministers, and the two were fundamentally contradictory.
And none of the parties is willing to give up their position.
For a while, Yun Lang's head was empty, but his mouth was speaking quickly: "Your Majesty's request is very big, not only to defeat the Xiongnu militarily, but also to fuse the Xiongnu by washing your hands, so that the Huns can shed their wildness for my use, completely eliminate the existence of the Huns, turn the northern wasteland into a wasteland with no people, and make the north of the empire become the eternal herding land of my Han Dynasty."
This is the plan of the ages. ”
However, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been sad and angry, hated the Xiongnu deeply, and hoped that the Xiongnu would be decided in a war, so there was no possibility of peaceful coexistence between our Han and the Xiongnu.
This war, from the year of Yuan Shuo to the year of Yuan Hunt, the war did not stop, the people were naturally in difficulty, even the life of the nobles was not as good as the year of the first emperor.
The nobles have endured for many years, and now, through the slave trade, the nobles of the Han Dynasty finally saw the hope of making a fortune, Huo Quai's Qilian Mountain forced the surrender of 60,000 Huns, and the nobles all celebrated with their hands, seeing that a great wealth was in front of them, how to be willing to give in easily.
His Majesty's national policy and the hopes of the nobles have become incompatible, and no matter which side retreats, it will leave an irreparable rift in the long-term peace and stability of the empire.
If Your Majesty must appease the Huns, then you must give some compensation to the nobles, and Weichen can't see the financial resources that can make up for such a big gap in front of him. ”
Liu Che listened very carefully, and after listening to Yun Lang's words, he said lightly: "In the end, you can't come up with a good way to solve my current predicament.
Pull it out and play ...... together."
Cao Xiang, who was firmly held down by the two eunuchs, looked back and said: "Uncle, we have discussed this matter countless times in private, and it is indeed incomprehensible.
It's not that the nephew doesn't help the uncle, but the nephew wants to help the uncle make up the rift this time, even if you kill me, the nephew won't do anything unfavorable to the big man. ”
Liu Che looked at Cao Xiang and said, "Let's talk about it after fighting." ”
At the moment when Yun Lang and Cao Xiang were about to be dragged out of the palace, Yun Lang suddenly said with a sigh: "Your Majesty, slow down!" ”
Liu Che said: "Got an idea? ”
Yun Lang broke free from the eunuch's shackles, sat back in his original place and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have found out." ”
"What did you find?"
"This matter should have been, Your Majesty, the ministers, and the matter of the Hun Evil King, why don't you ask the Hun Evil King and see if he has a good way."
Liu Che sneered and laughed: "What good can he do?" ”
Yun Lang beckoned to Cao Xiang, and Cao Xiang also broke free from the shackles of the eunuch and sat beside Yun Lang, looking at Yun Lang with hope.
Yun Lang smiled: "He has a way!" ”
Liu Che thought for a moment and said, "Don't say it, he really seems to have a way." ”
Cao Xiang looked at Yun Lang and then at Liu Che, and saw that the two of them were laughing extremely sinisterly, and couldn't help but shudder, and the sultry palace also became cold and bitter in an instant.
"The evil king of Hun killed the king of the sun and took over the tribe of the king of the sun, and the evil king also killed the king of Zuoxian and took over the tribe of the king of Zuoxian.
Therefore, it was the evil king of Hun who coerced 60,000 Huns to vote for the Han Dynasty...... Because the head man is dead, there must be chaos in the tribe...... There are many people who do not accept the evil king.
If the Hun Evil King can put these three tribes together as a monolith, then, what will he do when he surrenders to the Great Han?
Even if he can't beat Huo Quai, he still has a way out, as long as he passes Dunhuang, it is not difficult for him to sweep the 36 countries of the Western Regions with 60,000 Huns.
At that time, the power of the Evil King will only become stronger, and there will be no difficulty in establishing himself as a king......"
Liu Che is worthy of being the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and as soon as Yun Lang reminded him, he immediately figured out the joints.
Yun Lang continued with a smile: "Therefore, there is no problem for Your Majesty to treat the Evil King kindly...... Even if it is to treat some of the Huns who are close to the evil king, there is no problem......
However, in order to temporarily stabilize the hearts of the tribesmen, the Hun Evil King must be spreading money and wealth, and the Hun Evil King must be a poor ghost at this time......
A poor ghost came to Chang'an and saw a prosperous ...... he couldn't imagine Want to enjoy these bustling ...... You need to be very rich, after all, Chang'an rice is expensive......"
When Cao Xiang heard Yun Lang say this, he immediately came to his senses and interjected: "Even if his livestock, fur, and money are available, they have long been the spoils of war to get sick."
Where is the reason for my Han army to defeat the enemy and not get rich!
He came to Chang'an as a poor ghost, with the blessing of Your Majesty, he was naturally as stable as Mount Tai, and at this time, he became a marquis of my Han.
Hahaha, Weichen comes and goes on weekdays, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, there can only be twenty-four followers, and Yunlang is even worse, there can only be sixteen followers...... Even if His Majesty is merciful and generous, pity him for being uneasy when he first came to Chang'an, what if he is allowed to follow a hundred people?
But ah, he can't continue to be in charge of 60,000 Huns, this is necessary, right?"
Liu Che nodded and said, "Those who dare to call soldiers within the four seas will be killed!" ”
Cao Xiang laughed and said: "The Huns are rude, and there are only two or three people in the huge ethnic group.
His Majesty treats these people well, and the rest of the Huns think ......"
Liu Che snorted and said to Sui Yue, who was guarding beside him: "Prime Minister Xuan Cheng and his courtiers came to see him, and he said that I had figured it out. ”
Yun Lang and Cao Xiang glanced at each other. Just when he was happy, he heard Liu Che say to the two of them: "What are you still doing here?"
Get lost! ”
