When Chen Yong felt in the palace, he met many other colleagues in a spacious study room in the palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As usual, this time the emperor summoned all the figures at the level of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, including the now rightful Taishi and the Great Sima Guanghan King Liu Chu.

As in the past, although it was said that it was the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, the number of people who really gathered was far more than that of Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, Taichang, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Taifu, Tingwei, Honglu, Zongzheng, Dasinong, Shaofu, Dajiangqing, Taizhouqing, Taifu, Santai and other people who should have official positions have all been present.

Among them, many people wear multiple positions and have overlapping powers, especially at present, the power of Xinhan has been transferred from Jiuqing to Shangshutai, so the three officials have undoubtedly become the core and key.

And now Shangshutai is in the hands of King Guanghan.

This prince is the elder brother of the emperor of the current dynasty, the fief is in Shu, he is only in his early thirties, but he is in power, and he has his own temperament.

If there is someone who doesn't know what to do here and sees such a scene, it is estimated that Liu Chu, the king of Guanghan, is the master here.

This strange atmosphere lasted for some time, and with the arrival of the last of the secretaries, all the people who should have come had finally arrived, and the emperor had not yet come, and it was customary for them to communicate with each other.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to summon his ministers alone outside the court meeting, and it is normal to convene the three princes and nine secretaries, and many policies are actually formulated in this way, because on such occasions, the people gathered are the supreme rulers of the entire country.

And before they really see the emperor, they must have at least a little consensus among themselves, otherwise, if the emperor is in front of him, if there is a lot of noise, then nothing can be done.

At this moment, everyone, including Chen Yong, looked a little surprised, and they were not sure about the purpose of this gathering.

Unlike Chen Yong, among the people present, many people had not heard of Liu Yuan's news at all, but when they thought of the recent situation, they could also say that it was related to the Xiongnu.

"Could it be that Your Majesty has made a decision on whether to fight or peace?" That big Honglu Zhao Min guessed.

The others are also in general mind, as for Chen Yong and the other two or three people, they know a general idea, but they do not speak rashly, but are observing the situation.

At this time, the king of Guanghan spoke up: "This time I came over, it was indeed because of the Xiongnu, but it had nothing to do with this war, it was Liu Yuan, the lord of the Huns, and his people died." ”

His voice was faint, and he spoke with a smile on his face, as if no amount of news could shake his nerves.

"Oh, that's it...... What the? ”

After hearing this, many Lieqing, who had not yet received the news, turned the thoughts in their minds before they realized the meaning behind it.

"It can't be!"

followed by a series of experiences, just like Chen Yong and Chen Die.

Subsequently, King Guanghan smiled lightly and briefly told the story of the matter, the content of which was similar to what Chen Huan knew, and also said Liu Yunyan, Liu Yao, and even mentioned Chen Zhi.

After his words were finished, the entire imperial study fell into a strange silence, Lieqing, you look at me, I look at you, I think this thing is too bizarre, but thinking back to many events in history, I feel that compared to many more aggrieved ways to die, Liu Yuan's death is not unacceptable.

It's just that in this way, the current situation has to change dramatically and become confusing.

King Guanghan saw that everyone was discussing for a while, and said: "As soon as Liu Yuan died, it was related to Chen Zhi, so with His Majesty's temperament, he would definitely give Chen Zhi a big reward, whether it was an official position or wealth, so when I waited for the beginning, I definitely couldn't agree to this matter, so as to leave a little room for maneuver in the future." ”

"No, no!" Dahonglu Zhao Min shook his head and said, "Although this matter is because of Chen Zhi's actions, he didn't take the initiative to plan it, how can it be counted on his head?" If Your Majesty wants to give a reward, I will be the first to come out and oppose it. ”

"What? It's not Chen Zhi's credit, is it yours? Guangluxun Wang Li also spoke, just like the previous-for-tat atmosphere in the court, "If Chen Zhi does nothing, where will Liu Yuan die early, this matter cannot be erased, what these tens of thousands of soldiers have not been able to do, let Chen Zhi do it, if it is not rewarded, what do the people of the world think?" This matter, Da Honglu should think about it carefully, is it true to tell the world that he Liu Yuan accidentally died of illness by himself, and he still chose it at this time? ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed.

They are all in high power, and they sit high enough, of course, they can see and access more information, so they immediately taste the hidden meaning behind Wang Li's remarks.

The army is newly defeated, and the news is difficult to hide after all, and if it spreads, the time when the world will be shocked is not far away.

This kind of thing is something that no one wants to see, so we must find a way to make up for it, in addition to finding a few back-handed men, it is more important to divert the attention of all parties through one or two incidents, bring things over, and at the same time find some corners and corners to save the face of the court and maintain its majesty.

What could be more face-saving than to kill the leader of the enemy?

After thinking about it, Zhao Qi, the Shangshu of the Five Soldiers, couldn't help but say: "This Liu Yuan's death is indeed the credit of my Central Plains Junjie, is there any reason to push it outside?" He Liu Yuan was seriously ill before, and everyone knew about it, but he had already gotten better and would not die for no reason, so what Chen Zhi did, that was an introduction, but without this introduction, Liu Yuan would have lived a good life, so I think this matter should be regarded as Chen Zhi's credit. ”

Joke, if you don't publicize this, it's a waste!

With Zhao Qi's words, the others also nodded one after another, whether it was the main battle or the main peace, they were the pinnacle of the people and ministers of the Heavenly Empire, and they actually looked down on the small Xiongnu countries in their hearts, and the reason why there were differences was because of their different interests and concerns, but maintaining the majesty of the imperial court was their common interest, and there was nothing to argue about.

Even Zhao Min didn't insist and nodded silently.

"Since this is the case, then this matter is settled," Liu Chuhan, the king of Guanghan, nodded with a smile, and then looked at Chen Yong, "Gong Chen, your Chen family is really not simple, and you have cultivated such a character." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else also congratulated him, as if they had just remembered the relationship between Chen Yong and Chen Zhi.

And Chen Yong, the servant, also changed his low-key attitude in the past few days, and repeatedly emphasized: "This is what Chen Zhi should do, and he should be worried about the country." ”

After a round of congratulations, everyone also had a bottom in their hearts, knowing that the emperor would reward Chen Zhi, as long as it was not too excessive, they would turn a blind eye, and when Chen Yong came forward and asked Chen Zhi to cooperate with the court for publicity, it would be enough.

After everyone's discussion subsided, King Guanghan smiled and said: "After this matter, it is time to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Xiongnu." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions became serious again, and they were faintly divided into two queues, although there was no obvious distinction, but as long as they were a little attentive, they could see the clues.

Main battle, main and.

"Everyone, don't say more, now that Liu Yuan is dead, the situation is different, what is his Xiongnu temperament, no need to say more about this king, you know it well, that Liu Yuan has been bathed in the sage since he was a child, and he knows a little shame, when he is in charge, the Huns can still maintain stability, twist several tribes into one, and now he is suddenly killed, there will inevitably be a recurrence inside, this is a great opportunity."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yong, Zhao Min and others were happy, while Zhao Qi, Wang Li and others frowned slightly and heard the subtext.

Sure enough, I listened to the king of Guanghan say: "The Xiongnu are afraid of Liu Yuan's name and are afraid of Liu Yuan's might, so they dare not have different intentions, but they have long been in contact with all parties in the court, and I believe that everyone here is also very clear that now as long as they continue to contact, win over, divide, and give some tribes sweetness, it is enough to make the Xiongnu collapse, and this is a soldier who surrenders without a fight!" ”

Zhao Min immediately expressed his support and said: "What the prince said is very true, it is exactly this truth, as long as the response is appropriate, the Huns will collapse without a fight, why do you need to use swords and soldiers?" ”

Wang Li, Zhao Qi and the others wanted to say it again, but at this time, a eunuch came over and said that the emperor was coming.

"If you don't know the inside story, you still think that the emperor has gone in and is discussing with the minister." Thinking about it, he glanced at the king of Guanghan, who was standing up unhurriedly and lined up with the other ministers, ready to welcome the emperor's arrival.

Soon, Liu Dai strode in, and then it was a ceremony for the monarch and the ministers to meet each other, and to greet each other - at this time, there was no rule of kneeling at every turn, and there was an allusion to Zhaolie Nachen's admonition.

After the ceremony, Liu Dai sat down and went straight in: "Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to come over today because of the Hun thief Liu Yuan, you may not know it, the other person is dead......

Speaking of this, Liu Dai saw that everyone looked like they had known it for a long time, but they were used to it, so he changed his words: "Since all the secretaries know, they should also know that Chen Zhi, who has made great contributions, should be rewarded......"

This did not surprise the ministers, so they all maintained a calm expression, each with an extraordinary bearing, and they also estimated in their hearts that as long as it was not too excessive, they should all be ordered, at most, a little persuasion in the details to prevent going out of line.

But they were still thinking about it, so they heard Liu Dai say: "I thought about it, and felt that this was the destruction of the Hun thief, such a feat, comparable to tens of thousands of troops, that is not too much to reward, just gold and silver are not enough, so I think, is it not to give Chen Zhi a title?" ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

"Ahem!"

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

The emperor's words fell, and the room was full of coughs.
