The Han army set up a monument in Danhan Mountain, and the Helian army thousands of miles away naturally did not know, if they knew, I am afraid that the whole army would cry and mourn, after all, the ancestor Tanshi Huai was so majestic to the Han, even if he conquered the Han Dynasty and died in Youzhou, but he also made the royal court call the Han people so insulted.

That night, after being raided by Yan Liyou, he fought with the company army and Yan Liyou's army for nearly an hour, and finally escaped with the remaining 4,000 horsemen in Yan Liyou, leaving more than 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers, and the camp was burned as his arrogant end.

Of course, everything that is happening now is nothing to Helian, after all, it is not bad to exterminate the traitors, and even the traitors have been defeated and lost countless soldiers, which is nothing compared to the Xianbei royal court being attacked by the Han and the Xianbei tribe may be wiped out.

If the soldiers are gone, they can be re-enlisted, and the grain and grass can be collected if they are gone, but the Xianbei royal court does not, and if the tribal population is conquered and assimilated by the Han army, then he and Xianbei will no longer have a place to stand, so after early in the morning, after thinking about it again, after thinking about it again, under the opposition of some of the cronies and generals in the tent, he sent the old leader of Xianbei, Murong Ba, to lead people to find the traces of the army of Yanliyou, so as to have contact with the people of the Kuitou and Budugen's faction, and conduct peace talks, and invite them to fight the Han army together.

That Murong Ba is none other than Wan Aike's father-in-law, Murong Shuisu's father, who is an adult in Xianbei in central China, and is also the only one of the few old adults in Xianbei who is now alive since Tan Shihuai led Xianbei to rise. Therefore, he was fully qualified to negotiate, and the other noble leaders of the Xianbei faction did not dare to do anything to him.

Not to mention the internal peace talks in Xianbei, that is, last night, the messenger sent by Zhao Bao, the assassin of the Han Dynasty and the Prefecture, had already entered Luoyang, the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, and sent the handwritten letter of Zhao Bao that he carried with him to the palace. Therefore, on the morning of this day, the Han Emperor Liu Hong once again urgently convened a court meeting and ordered the ministers and officials to come to discuss the matter.

Early in the morning, in the Chongde Palace, the ministers and officials were whispering in the hall at the moment, discussing with each other the recent affairs of the Han Frontier, because things were very strange and revealed an indescribable unusualness.

Since Liu Hong sent Fu Quan and Duan Cheng to lead 5,000 troops to rescue the northern land of Liangzhou and quell the Qiang Rebellion, the war report of Liangzhou has been missing, and it is rumored that the emperor has stayed by his side, and the people around him want to observe, but they are all stopped by him. There were even eunuchs who wanted to check it secretly, but they were discovered by the emperor who had already noticed it, and took the initiative to order a cane beating twenty for the first time, beating Liu Hong's most favored eunuch to faint, and he is still recuperating in the palace.

In this way, they couldn't help but make hundreds of officials and ministers puzzled, and even today Liu Hong urgently convened everyone for a court meeting, they all doubted whether this matter would be related to the war in Liangzhou.

"Sui Gao, it has been nearly a month since Nafuba County led the army, why has there been no news from the frontier so far?"

Situ Yang was in the center of the hall and asked He Jin beside him, of course he didn't mean anything else, he naturally wanted to ask his brother-in-law's father, the eunuch Zhang Rang, if he had revealed anything.

After all, although the emperor said that he was now guarding against eunuchs, he was even more protective of foreign scholars, even if Yang Ci was the emperor's teacher, and the emperor had a deep relationship with the emperor's master and apprentice, and the emperor respected him, but he did not reveal half of the information related to the war in Liangzhou, so Yang Ci could only inquire about the situation through where he came in.

In fact, Yang Ci accepted He Jin as a protégé at the beginning, not only because his sister had a relationship with the emperor's eldest son "Shi Hou" Liu Wei, but also because He Jin and Zhang Rang were related. As the leader of the foreign courtiers, Yang Ci naturally didn't want to have anything to do with the eunuchs, and even had to keep showing his political intentions to break with him, as an example, but this didn't mean that he didn't need the help of the eunuchs.

Whether it is seeking official positions for his protégés and relatives, or inquiring about some information concealed by Emperor Liu Hong or news in the palace, Yang Ci will undoubtedly not be able to get around the hurdles of eunuchs no matter what. Among them, in order to ensure their own reputation on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can not lag behind others politically, between them, there is naturally a need for a person as a medium, and He Jin is obviously this medium.

In other words, He Jin's identity, whether in the eyes of eunuchs and foreign courtiers, is somewhat similar to the role of Dou Wu at the beginning, but unlike Dou Wu, He Jin's birth is too low, and he is not from a big family favored by foreign courtiers, and he can only be regarded as a rich landlord in a place at most.

On the contrary, Dou Wu, although his family is in the middle of the road, but after all, he is the son of Dou Xian, the descendant of Dou Rong, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is the only one, even if Dou Wu is the same as Yang Ci's grandfather Yang Zhen, he is born in cattle herding, and he can't help but make foreign courtiers respect Dou Wu, this is the importance of birth since the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, if you want to rise, you can only wait until the end of the dynasty, of course, those ordinary people who rose in the war at the end of the Han Dynasty have always had a low chance of becoming famous.

Of course, the most different thing between He Jin and Dou Wu is that He Jin still has an in-law relationship with the eunuch, which naturally dooms He Jin to become an open communication bridge between the eunuch and the scholar. Similarly, it is also destined that if the scholars are in power, they will not hesitate to send He Jin, a eunuch, to the grave completely after slaughtering sheep.

"Back to the teacher, I don't know about the door, and there is no news in the palace." He Jin talked respectfully with his teacher, Confucianism flourished in the Han Dynasty, respected teachers, and Yang Ci was Situ, so he couldn't be disrespectful.

"Amazing! Weird! Amazing! Weird...... Your Majesty's intentions are difficult to understand...... It's hard to understand, and it's ......" Yang Ci stroked his beard, kept shaking his head and said, he didn't understand the deep meaning after thinking about it for a long time, and then he remembered something again, and asked: "Sui Gao, I heard that three thousand soldiers and horses in the Yue Cavalry Battalion were missing, and you have heard of it?" Why is this so? ”

"I don't know that the Yue Cavalry Battalion has been strictly ordered by His Majesty, and no one else is allowed to enter, and those who dare to enter are all detained by the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and they are not allowed to be released without His Majesty's order."

"Hey!" Yang Ci let out a long sigh, and then shook his head again and said: "The Northwest is in turmoil, Your Majesty is like this, there must be something different in it." ”

The teacher's words are in vain, but He Jin can only nod in agreement on the side, everyone knows that the emperor is hiding things, but no one knows what the specific things are.

In fact, He Jin also speculated in his heart, whether the chaos in Liangzhou would be fake, after all, if someone has a heart to look back now, he should see that when Wei Yuanpi, the assassin of Liangzhou, asked the imperial court to send reinforcements when he asked the imperial court to send reinforcements, he didn't say a word to ask for help. Even when Fuquan led the troops to the rescue, he did not send a planner to report the news, and it was not until half a month later that the Liangzhou Assassin Department came to Peng, and the words he brought turned out to be that Wei Yuanpi was going to resign due to illness, and he did not mention the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion, which was really abnormal.

Moreover, after that, this official was strictly protected by Emperor Liu Hong, and without even his orders, no one was allowed to contact at all, until a few days later, when the official returned to Liangzhou, and no one in Beijing was able to talk to the official about the chaos in Liangzhou. All this shows that things are boring, but He Jin has no way to confirm it, he also thought about detaining the messenger with the eunuch and checking it privately, but in the end he still failed to succeed.

Not to mention that it is a big crime to hijack the letter of the Emperor of the Assassin County without permission, if you are not careful, the incident in the east window will be no different from a rebellion, and the other point is that the emperor is obviously on guard against this matter, and even let the Liangzhou Assassin Wei Yuanpi and the Beidi Taishou Emperor Fu Song each send a team of soldiers to escort the letters.

Everyone knows that the soldiers in Liangzhou are brave and good at fighting, and the emperor also asked them to send a team of soldiers to escort them, He Jin and others do not gather a certain number of troops, otherwise they will not be able to intercept them at all. What's more, Sanfu Guanzhong is the heart of the Han family, and once the news leaks out, it will not be good, so He Jin can only watch those letters be sent to the palace one by one under the protection of the Xiliang soldiers, and then they will send the letters back to Liangzhou from the palace one by one.

In the end, He Jin could only send his confidants and servants to Beidi County, Liangzhou with his own letter, to inquire about the news alone, he didn't believe that even if Liangzhou kept this matter a secret and sent someone to investigate, could he still find out what happened?

Hey, it is said that His Majesty intends to go north to Xianbei, why is there no news so far? He Jin was helpless, and lamented in his heart, if he could have an opportunity like Fuquan, why couldn't he let his sister become the queen and let his nephew be able to ascend to the throne?

It's just that all this is very difficult, however, no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it, because isn't this the motivation for him to keep moving between eunuchs and scholars? He wants them to make the He family, even if they can't become the world's first-class gate valve family, they must become Nanyang and become the wang clan of Jingzhou.

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......"

With a sharp shout from the temple people at the entrance of the hall, Liu Hong slowly walked into the hall under the guidance of Huben and Yulin. The appearance of the Chongde Hall suddenly changed, and He Jin was also awakened by this shout, and hurriedly gathered his mind and saluted with the ministers to greet him.

"Ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty......"

With a bang, the eyes of all the ministers in the hall were awe-inspiring, and then they knelt down in unison, and then they took their places, and then under Liu Hong's order, they started today's court meeting.

Today's court meeting was convened on a temporary basis, and the ministers naturally didn't know what Liu Hong meant, so they sat down one after another, listening to the emperor's orders.

When Liu Hong saw the appearance of the hundred officials, he knew what they were thinking, so he did not delay, and after a few simple polite words, he directly entered the topic and said: "Yesterday, I received a report from the Bingzhou Thorn Shibao Army, Yanba County Taishouquan has now gone out of the north, broken and surrendered, and learned that Chief Xianbei Hu led an expedition, and now he is leading his troops to attack his royal court Danhan Mountain. ”

As soon as the words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and most people were stunned, suspecting that they had heard something wrong, what's going on, didn't Fuba County lead troops to level the chaos in the north? Why did he suddenly attack Xianbei and take the surrendered city built by Emperor Shizong Xiaowu that year, what are you kidding, he will bring 5,000 men and horses, and he can still divide his troops to fight the Qiang people and the Xianbei people?

For a while, in the Chongde Palace, there were constant whispers, and all the officials and ministers were guessing what His Majesty meant, and the scene was chaotic. ”

Suddenly, the hall was unusually quiet, and then Yang Ci got up and saluted to the emperor Liu Hong, who was at the top: "Your Majesty, the minister has a question." ”

"What is the matter with Master Yang?" Liu Hong replied, in fact, he naturally knew what Yang Ci wanted to ask, but after all, he was the emperor, and now he was in the court, so all questions had to be in accordance with the rules, and he couldn't mess with the rules of the monarch and ministers.

"Your Majesty, Bajun is too guarded by Quan, and he led his troops to pacify the northern land before the chaos, why is he now sending troops to the north? If he does it without authorization, he will commit the crime of defrauding the king, and I hope Your Majesty will inform ......"

Seeing Yang Ci so serious, Liu Hongwan smiled, he naturally understood what Yang Ci meant, if Fuquan calmed down the Qiang chaos and transferred troops to the north without authorization, it would be a big crime of bullying the king, this is not a joke, it is not a joke, it is not good to say that it is a sand head.

Of course, Liu Hong naturally wouldn't let his henchman suffer death, so he replied with a smile: "This is my plan, and I ordered the Beidi County Shou Song to play, saying that there would be chaos in the county first, and I hope the court will send troops." Later, I sent Ba County to guard the spring, and ordered the soldiers to join the cavalry captain Gong, obviously for the combined army of 5,000 to help, but in fact there were 8,000 soldiers. Speaking of this, Liu Hong paused, and then said: "There is no war in Liangzhou, and there is no chaos in the north, I ordered the army to come to the aid, in fact, I sent troops out of the north of Liangzhou to conquer Xianbei, now it seems that this strategy is very good, if the Xianbei royal court is broken by the Han warriors, you can taste the long-cherished wish of the first emperor, and repay the blood feud of the people on the three sides......"

In the court, Liu Hong's tone was frustrated, and he made this matter clear, and his words were also very excited, which shows how good his mood is. But the ministers and officials under the hall collectively lost their voices, looking at each other, I don't know what to say, is this still the emperor in their hearts who is controlled by eunuchs and can only buy and sell officials to make money? Playing with the courtiers like this, using the strategy of deceiving the Manchu Dynasty, and sneaking up on Xianbei, is completely inconsistent with the image of Liu Hong in their hearts.

At this moment, even Yang Ci, who was inquiring about Liu Hong, was also a little silent, standing in the court, not knowing what to say, after all, this matter was the first time for him. Think about it, there were several times when the Han army only drove the hinterland of the enemy country in the grassland, except for Huo Qu's illness to fight the Huns, the expedition to Monan, and the wolf Juxu; Dou Xian expelled the Northern Xiongnu, and in addition to Le Shi Yanran, there was Fuquan who directly attacked Xianbei Danhan Mountain this time.

If Fuquan wins this time, and the Han army breaks the Xianbei royal court, then the emperor, the three princes and nine kings of the court, can't they also make a big note in the history books? After all, the soldiers in the front have merit in killing the enemy on the battlefield, and in the rear, they are all civilian officials and soldiers who are preparing logistics.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on sweeping away the Xianbei Hu, the Han Society will live forever, and those who commit crimes against the Han will be ......punished even if they are far away" Yang Ci hurriedly put down the words he had just asked, changed his words directly, and saluted to congratulate the emperor on getting up.

After Yang Ci finished speaking, the rest of the hundred officials and ministers in the palace also shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Great Han Sheji ......" Most of the people present were human spirits, and naturally understood what this meant, since the emperor endorsed Fuquan, of course he would not ask about Liangzhou again, but praised the emperor instead.

For a time, in the Chongde Palace, there were all voices of congratulations, like the image of a prosperous age.
