Chapter 149: Zhang Tangla people
The big thing was decided, and he was waiting for Huo Qu's illness to come out .......
The main hall of Weiyang Palace was serious, and the ministers were talking about things at this time, but the careful Liu Che found that the general Wei Qing was in a daze on the side, as if he was thinking about something, but Liu Che concluded that it was definitely not about Hexi.
Liu Che looked at it and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you have anything else to say about the hussar general's expedition to Hexi?" ”
Wei Qing actually heard it, but maybe it was because he was too engrossed, his reaction was actually half a beat slower: "Ah, uh, what the minister didn't say, no!" After saying that, he seemed a little absent-minded.
In fact, Wei Qing was afraid, he and Princess Pingyang's matter Liu Che had already decided, and made a holy decree, but he had not yet announced it to the public, Wei Qing had been worried since he got up in the morning, if it was announced in the court, how would he deal with these Manchu civil and military chatter.
In fact, Liu Che saw Wei Qing's thoughts, and originally wanted to say it, but when he saw Wei Qing, he was worried like this.
"No, if you don't, you will retreat!" After speaking, Liu Che stood up and walked to the back of the hall.
The ministers bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Uncle, uncle." Huo Quzhi walked quickly to Wei Qing's side, patted it a few times, and asked, "Why are you still stupid!" ”
Wei Qing looked around a little unwillingly and said, "Hey, let's go!" ”
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing slowly walked towards the outside of the main hall .......
At this time, Liu Che also arrived at the back of the main hall, and Prime Minister Li Cai had to talk to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty alone about the protection of Hexi, so he had been following: "Your Majesty, my Han Dynasty has been using troops for many years since the start of the war between the Huns and Hans, and the loss of war horses is extremely serious. ”
"Accurate!" Although Liu Che didn't think about it, he still knew the base number of the Han Dynasty, and 10,000 horses was already the largest number.
As he walked, Liu Che suddenly stopped and looked at Li Cai and asked, "Prime Minister, I originally had something to announce today, but I just looked at my brother-in-law as if he was ......." ”
"Your Majesty, are you talking about the marriage of the general and the eldest princess of Pingyang?" After Li Cai finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "The minister has heard about this matter, and I heard that the emperor has even issued a holy decree. ”
After hearing this, Liu Che looked at the sun in the distance and said, "Well, yes, what do you think of this?" ”
In fact, Li Cai is really just hearsay about this matter, because the holy decree was prepared by Zhang Tang, and this matter is only known to a small range, and Li Cai knows this very well, don't talk nonsense if there is no full verification, today the prime minister is right, in fact, he guessed right, relying on the intuition of being the prime minister for so many years.
Li Cai has actually analyzed this matter, he is also a smart person, Princess Pingyang is a descendant of the Liu family, Liu Che's own sister, Wei Qing is a relative, a high and powerful position, and has a very high prestige in the army, since Gaozu The disadvantages of the dictatorship of relatives in the Han Dynasty have always existed, let Princess Pingyang marry Wei Qing, this matter is really not so simple in the eyes of the prime minister who was born as a military general.
Li Cai arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Qing is from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, thanks to the emperor's love to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and now he has achieved military merit and hegemony. ”
"Military merit?" Liu Che repeated Li Cai's four words word by word, and his brows tightened and he thought of something.
Seeing Liu Che's face full of doubts and seriousness, Li Cai smiled and said, "Yes!" Br! The emperor and the eldest princess of Pingyang are like brothers, the eldest princess's two husbands are gone, and the general has worked hard and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and now he is just one person. ”
Liu Che was a little weird when he heard Li Cai's words, but he just didn't know what was wrong, he was already annoyed, he looked up and was about to leave, and saw Zhang Tang who was chattering with a minister on the other side, so he called over.
"I've seen the emperor, I've seen the prime minister!" Zhang Tang bowed very politely: "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear!" ”
Liu Che took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want to ask why I didn't announce the marriage of my brother-in-law and sister in the court, right?" After speaking, he looked at Zhang Tang with a confused expression.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the holy decree has been issued, just wait for the ministers to go back and prepare the edict to announce it to the world! Why? Zhang Tang was really puzzled.
Liu Che said: "It's nothing, let him ferment this matter slowly." After speaking, Liu Che sneered and continued: "Looking at my brother-in-law's blank and sad face today, I don't know what he is thinking!" ”
The reason why Liu Che didn't announce it was actually Wei Qing's bitter gourd face today, as if he was unwilling.
Zhang Tang said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think there's any need to care about what he's thinking, the minister just thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to curb the development of the Wei family." After speaking, Zhang Tang turned his head to look at Li Cai and asked, "What do you say, Prime Minister?" ”
For Li Cai, although he knew that there was a way here, he was still very surprised, this soup actually dared to speak bluntly in front of his prime minister to directly say that he was curbing the Wei family, what does this mean?
And Zhang Tang actually did this on purpose, Zhang Tang knew that the Li family was already dissatisfied with the Wei family, because before Wei Qing appeared, the Li family was the same as the Han Dynasty, but now, it is different, except for Prime Minister Li Cai, Li Guang and Li Dare can't even speak in front of the emperor, so Zhang Tang's meaning must be to pull the Li family to his side.
Looking at Zhang Tang's sinister and cunning smile, Li Cai also smiled coldly, and understood Zhang Tang's meaning, although he had some opinions about Wei Qing, but Li Cai was still sober-minded in this matter: "Your Majesty, the minister only knows that if I can achieve the good marriage between the general of the Han Dynasty and Her Royal Highness the Princess, it will definitely be a good story in the future!" ”
After speaking, Li Cai said in his heart: I'm not so stupid, digging a pit for the old man, who is Wei Qing? He is a general of the Han Dynasty, his sister is the current queen, his nephew is the hussar general Huo Quai, the prince is now on his side, and he has a very high prestige in the army, the emperor's attitude towards Wei Qing has always been good, even if he is not convinced, if he says it, it will be dangerous.
Zhang Tang saw that Prime Minister Li Cai did not answer his question directly, so he continued to ask: "Prime Minister, ......." ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister still has something to do, so I'll leave first!" Li Cai didn't pay attention to Zhang Tang at all, he couldn't pay attention to it anymore, it can be seen from this matter that Zhang Tang is recruiting personnel in the imperial court to deal with the Wei family, of course, once the prime minister can pull it over, it will be a great achievement, of course, what Li Cai has to do at this time must be to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and slowly watch the best.
Seeing that Li Cai was gone, Zhang Tang was a little depressed, helping the emperor curb the development of the Wei family and change the disadvantages of the dictatorship of the Han Dynasty's relatives, the emperor would definitely not go out in person, which was equivalent to the emperor to be a good person, and the bad guy must be Zhang Tang, and the Wei family also had to be offended by Zhang Tang, in fact, Zhang Tang was also afraid, so in order to increase his confidence, it must be best for the court to win over some big people.
Zhang Tang originally wanted to raise this matter in front of the emperor today, to show Li Cai that the emperor supported and knew about this matter, and asked Li Cai to join his side and change the situation of fighting alone, of course, it was also a way back for himself, once the Wei family resisted, at least there was a prime minister in front, but Li Cai didn't give face, and he didn't even show his attitude.
Prime Minister Li Cai was a little excited in his heart, so his steps were a little fast, at least he also confirmed one thing from today's matter, Emperor Wu of Han was already starting to defend his family.......
