Chapter 089: Discussing merits and demerits
Of course, there is nothing to say about the victory, but the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty determined that this battle was a defeat that did not realize the strategic intent, which turned the court meeting that should have been full of joy into a different appearance, full of gunpowder.
Seeing that Wei Qing and other generals didn't say a word, Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, walked to the middle again and reported: "The minister is in charge of the national criminal law, and he must weigh this matter from a fair point of view. ”
Imperial historian Zhang Tang was well-known in the Han Dynasty for his uprightness, and because he was better than Liu Che since he was a child, he won the respect of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and put him in charge of the national criminal laws and prisons.
Same sin! Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang suddenly threw out the crime, which made the generals present very puzzled, so Li Guangzi stood up with a wipe of his beard and asked: "The veteran is stupid, and the blood of the soldiers of the army stains the battlefield for the Han to resist the Huns, I don't know what the crime is?" ”
How dare Zhang Tang be the enemy of the army, especially many personnel in the military, so Zhang Tang slowly walked to the middle and bowed to Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty, the 100,000 army of the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu has worked hard and made great achievements, but as the commander-in-chief, the general Wei Qing has neglected to supervise the use of people and abused his power. ”
There is no excuse for wanting to add to the crime, Wei Qing, as an honest general, really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, anyway, he is not convinced, but there is no way, only thinking that if Zhang Tang was a Hun or a Xiongnu envoy, he would probably have knelt on the ground and spoke, but he also knew that this soup was such a person's egg and bones.
Wei Qing saw that Zhang Tang was chasing after him, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”
This is Wei Qing's only way to deal with the court controversy, of course, this is also what his sister Wei Zifu taught him, Wei Qing's character is destined not to win the argument, but Wei Zifu also summed up a good way, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che is suspicious, and very emotional, so no matter what Wei Qing encounters, as long as he puts on a pair of boiled frogs, he doesn't scream, and no one can do anything about him.
Wei Qing took the initiative to ask for guilt, which made Zhang Tang a little embarrassed, this Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che would definitely not blame his brother-in-law.
"Hahaha, brother-in-law, get up! How can I cure your sins? After speaking, Liu Che got up from the dragon chair and said as he walked: "Although this battle did not inflict heavy losses on Yi Zhixi, after all, he still beat him back to Mobei!" Ha ha! ”
Sure enough, as Zhang Tang expected, the ministers saw that the emperor suddenly changed his tone, so his tense face began to smile again.
"Your Majesty! The minister thought that the general Wei Qing, as the commander of the whole army, should set an example! Zhang Tang saw that this matter might stop there, so he looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again, Liu Che, and said: "The emperor is doing this, how can the general serve the public in the future!" ”
As soon as Zhang Tang's words fell, Liu Che, who was smiling, suddenly looked at Zhang Tang with a straight face and said, "What does Imperial Doctor mean?" ”
Zhang Tang immediately knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached the general Wei Qing for three crimes, first, negligence in employing people, knowing that Zhao Xin had the intention of surrendering the Xiongnu and not taking measures, which eventually led to his surrender, and second, challenging the imperial power and mobilizing the Yulin Army to resist the Xiongnu without authorization. ”
After listening to the two charges that Zhang Tang added to himself, Wei Qing's vest suddenly turned cold, the first one was of course caused by his own fault, but this second one was the real big thing, in his mind, he couldn't help but think of a bamboo slip that the queen Wei Zifu asked Huo Qu to bring to himself, which was about Wei Qing helping Huo Qu to get the Yu Lin Army, Wei Qing sighed that he still couldn't avoid it.
In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, still didn't want to make a big deal about it, after all, the army still won a big victory, so he helped Zhang Tang up with a smile and said: "Aiqing is serious, battlefield surrender is a common thing, this Zhao Xin was originally surrendered by the Huns!" As for the matter of the Yulin Army, I also allowed it at that time, and let Huo Qu be sick and bring it over. ”
Zhang Tang still broke free of Liu Che's hand and continued to kneel on the ground, and then said solemnly: "If the emperor thinks this is a trivial matter, it is a big mistake, surrendering on the battlefield is indeed a common thing, but what is Zhao Xin, is the marquis of my Han Dynasty, he holds important positions in my Han all the year round, walking in the court, his surrender is different from other sergeants, his surrender must be a big hidden danger!" ”
After listening to Zhang Tang's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had an epiphany, so he looked at Wei Qing and then at Zhang Tang who was kneeling on the ground.
Seeing that Liu Che didn't speak, Zhang Tang knew that he had listened, so he said again: "The Yulin Army is the palace guard, and it has been made clear in the criminal law since its establishment, except for the emperor's personal guards, no prince or minister has the right to command or even ask, not even the crown prince, let me ask the general Wei Qing where he has the right to mobilize the eight hundred Yulin army, this is a blatant challenge to the imperial power!" ”
Wei Qing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, you must know that this is a capital crime.
In the face of Zhang Tang's crime, in fact, these were all expected by General Fei Li Guang, the servant Sun He and others, because when Wei Qing made this decision, everyone stopped Wei Qing, but Wei Qing didn't listen.
Liu Che saw that Zhang Tang had given Wei Qing such a big hat on his head, so he felt that Zhang Tang was a little too much, and said: "Aiqing is serious, Huo Quai's illness is at the behest of me to lead the Yulin Army to fight against the Huns!" ”
Liu Che stood up and spoke for Wei Qing, which was expected by Zhang Tang, because it had been like this several times in the past, so he moved out of the criminal law and said: "Your Majesty, the criminal law clearly stipulates that the commander of the Yulin Army is the emperor, and the Zhonglang of the Yulin Army will be under the direct control of the emperor. ”
"You ......" Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was so angry that he was already out of breath, in the Han Dynasty, two people dared to argue with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty like this, one was the imperial historian Zhang Tang, and the other was Chang'an Ling Jidian, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty could see Wei Qing in disheveled clothes, but he couldn't see these two people, otherwise the emperor could bear the criminal law.
"Zhang Tang, it was indeed my intention to let Huo go sick and take Yu Linjun at that time, it was I who sent an edict to him to bring it, if you don't believe it, you can go and check!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, said with a serious face, then shook his hand and walked to the dragon chair.
Seeing that the emperor Baoqing was in Baoding, Zhang Tang was also very helpless, so he arched his hand and said: "Since it is the emperor's intention, then may I ask what happened to Wei Qing's book to the emperor at that time, if it is not the general who is involved in the imperial power, how can he play the chapter?" ”
……
Wei Qing never expected that what his sister Wei Zifu was worried about finally happened, and the more he thought about the content of the recital sent by Wei Zifu when he sent Huo to get sick, the clearer it became in his mind:
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che inspected the Huben camp before the departure of the army, and as a result, Qi Ying was killed in battle to protect the saint in the Yulin Army, but it has been vacant at present, the emperor's uncertainty made Prime Minister Li Cai also star, Liu Sheng, the king of Qixiang, also watched, and the national pillar Hou Shanglin also stuffed people in, due to the particularity of the Yulin Army, Wei Qing at this time to draw out the eight hundred Yulin Army is undoubtedly expressing what ...... to these people.
Above the court, in the face of the soldiers who had just returned from the war, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was depressed that he did not kill Yi Zhixian, but after all, he also severely damaged the main force of the Xiongnu, so that Yi Zhixian led the troops to flee back to Mobei, so his idea was to mean it.
But the imperial historian Zhang Tang held on to Zhao Xin and Wei Qing's taking of the Yulin Army, and he had to cure Wei Qing's crimes, and even once challenged Long Yue, and actually took off his official hat to threaten, if Wei Qing's crimes were not cured, he, the imperial historian in charge of the national law, was splashed with blood on the spot, which made all the generals feel dissatisfied at once, and they all hated it.
In the face of the merits and demerits that could not be discussed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really had no choice, and finally had to withdraw from the dynasty and discuss the ...... a different day.
