The most powerful threat since the Han Dynasty is the Xiongnu in the northwest and north, the Chinese people call the Xiongnu people the Rong people in the tradition, and also call the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other small tribes in the north as the Di people, and the different names of the meaning is also the south of the world.

In the first year of Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.), Donghu was broken by the Xiongnu Mao Dun Shan Yu, so that many tribes ran away from the wolves, and a tribe of the Eastern Hu fled to Wuhuan Mountain (also known as Karasuma Mountain) and then named the mountain as the clan name, and was active in Shanggu County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County of the Han Dynasty (about the two banks of the Xilamulun River and the southwest area of the Guilali River), the population of the ethnic group is less than one million, and it has its own unique customs, one of which is that it is very fond of raising dogs, taking dogs as companions, and killing dogs to accompany the burial.

There are ancient records: Wuhuan customs like to ride and shoot, hunting birds and beasts. Grazing with aquatic grasses, living in an impermanent place. Take the dome as the house, and open to the sun in the east. Eat meat and drink cheese, and use wool as clothing. Animal husbandry is quite developed, horses, cattle, sheep are very numerous, therefore, not only the source of food and clothing, at the same time, the marriage is also to horses, cattle, sheep as the "money", the death of the deceased will take the deceased before the death of the horse burned to the burial, if the vendetta kills, can also out of the horse, cattle, sheep to redeem the death. And use cattle and sheep to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, heaven and earth, sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, and those who have a healthy name for the ancestors, and burn them all.

Since the end of the third century B.C., after the Xiongnu defeated the Donghu, Wuhuan was alone, so the service belonged to the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu levied livestock and leather from Wuhuan every year, and if they did not pay it on time, they confiscated their wives as slaves. If you count it carefully, in addition to being more combative, the Xiongnu also regarded Wuhuan as a 'shepherd', and the only difference with the surnameless clan is that Wuhuan needs to send troops to serve the Xiongnu.

Legend. Wuhuan and Xianbei were originally of the same race, and they were both defeated by the Xiongnu at the end of the third century BC and fled to the east, and then lived in different regions. Xianbei lives in the north, Wuhuan lives in the south, and the east is adjacent to the small clans such as Rulou and Fuyu. As time went by, the two clans each had their own names, Yiwuhuan and Xianbei.

In addition to the large population, the current Xianbei Bizhi Wuhuan does not have its own family name. Most of the language and customs of Xianbei are no different from those of Wuhuan, but they are integrated with some customs of the Xiongnu, which is very mixed and difficult to judge.

The Xianbei ethnic name is the word "Xianbei". In Qin and Han literature, it appears in different transliteration forms: "Shibi" and "Rhino Bi". In fact, Xianbei is far away from the Central Plains and separated from Wuhuan in the south. Most of its cultural influences are indirect, so it only refers to a kind of hufu belt or belt hook. Most of them only know that the name of the Xianbei people originates from the "Xianbei Mountain" (now the Great Xing'an Mountains) where they live. "Mountain" is Chinese, and apparently "Xianbei Mountain" is a mixture of Hu Chinese, if you follow the Mongolian pronunciation. It can be pronounced 'Spolek'.

In this dynasty. The contact between the Chinese and the Xianbei people is actually very frequent, but the Chinese people always can't tell the difference between the Rong and Di people, and automatically divide all the nomadic peoples together, and regard the Xianbei people as the Huns, or the Xianbei people as the Wuhuan people. According to the fact that the Chinese people did not have any contact with the outside except for the war, the reason why the Chinese people would mix up the Xianbei people is actually very normal, because the Xianbei people do not have their own culture, and their culture is indirectly learned from the Xiongnu or Wuhuan. There is no obvious ethnic attire and living habits, so it is not surprising that the distinction is wrong.

The beginning of spring in 140 BC. On the 17th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar (the error is no more than one day), when the farming people were preparing to be busy with spring sowing, the news of the imminent invasion of the nomads came from the north, and the counties of the border area reacted nervously under the suspicion, Shanggu County, Youbeiping County, and Yuyang County successively ordered to mobilize and prepare to defend against barbarian invasion, but no one thought that the real goal of the barbarians was not the well-prepared counties, and the goal of the barbarians was the counties in the northwest that were considered the least likely to be invaded. It is also the closest county to the territory of the Xiongnu!

As we all know, the Xiongnu have been using troops in the Western Regions for half a year, but the Han court did not know that the Xiongnu ethnic groups in the northwest were also moving westward due to the closed news, resulting in a number of grasslands in the northwest becoming a strength vacuum, which is the Heshuo that the Xiongnu attaches the most importance to, this military important place where at least 100,000 people are stationed every year, and the Xiongnu's garrison strength has dropped to a historic low, with only more than 50,000 warriors!

The Han State was busy with political competition, and the government and the opposition were attracted by the current Liu Che's moves, thinking that the Xiongnu were attacking the Western Regions and had no time to pay attention to the Han State, and those little barbarians did not need to pay much attention. What they don't know is that sometimes the more they don't care about something, the more they launch a surprise attack, the more fatal it is, and after routinely ordering Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County to enter a defensive state, it seems that no one has time to pay attention to other things, and most people are busy in political competition, trying to protect themselves or increase their political influence.

Tens of thousands of officials of the Han State were confused because of the Son of Heaven's moves, and countless military information showing the movements of the enemy army was only in the hands of Wei Juan of the Prime Minister's Mansion and there was no follow-up, just because Wei Juan was advised, 'This is an eventful autumn, although the prince is the prime minister, he is really a fish and meat, and he should be cautious and cautious, and don't be angry with Mrs. Dou'." Wei Xuan's heart was shocked, and he was terrified all day long, and his first reaction when he heard the military situation was not to think about what the consequences would be if the enemy invaded, but to think about what the impact would be if the enemy situation was reported at the critical moment of the political struggle, how the Son of Heaven would think of him, and how the old lady Dou would look at him.

Since the Han Dynasty, the prime minister has the right to select officials, has the power to impeach hundreds of officials and carry out punishments, has the right to be in charge of the county and the country's planning and examinations, has the right to concur the court and perform affairs of the hundred officials, has the right to refute the emperor's edicts and admonishments, and all important political affairs, such as the establishment of a new monarch, the establishment of a prince, the gift, the reward, the punishment of crimes, etc., as well as finance, election, civil affairs, law, etiquette, border affairs and other major matters, often entrusted by the emperor to the prime minister to preside, convene a hundred officials to meet, the results of the assembly by the prime minister led by the son of heaven, Then the emperor and the prime minister jointly make decisions.

Note! The military needs to inform the prime minister about everything, and then the prime minister decides whether to transfer it to the Son of Heaven, the prime minister's power is very large, so big that it is easy for the prime minister to bury some things!

Wei Juan is an official in a prominent position, and he has no merit in picking up the missing and making up for the shortcomings. Not to mention the achievements of promoting the good and eliminating the disadvantages, it is just silent and keeping the way. From his body, we can see some specific situations of Huang Lao's politics in the early Han Dynasty; Huang Lao Politics. On the one hand, it is required to strengthen the rule by criminal law, and at the same time, it is also necessary to control the subordinates with magic. Wei Juan understands this. Never show himself in front of the emperor, knowing the male and the female. He was cautious and cautious for the sake of protecting himself. As the prime minister, he only plays the role of uploading and disseminating, and 'the court plays as his job is played', which is a major event for the government and government. He often doesn't ask.

This...... Wei Juan just can't ask if he wants to. He knew that today's son didn't like Huang Lao's politics. thinks that Huang Lao's inaction is no longer suitable for today's situation, so he wants to change all the time, as Huang Lao's faction, of course, he also does his best to maintain Huang Lao's advantage. However, because of his cautious character, it creates a strong sense of contradiction.

At this time, Wei Juan held the military intelligence, and he stared blankly at the empty courtyard in front of the gate. My heart tossed and turned quickly, "I know." That Taiwei Tian Wei must also know. How can this be? ”

In other words, Tian Wei is the uncle of today's son, and he is a reliable force belonging to the Son of Heaven. In order to expand his strength, the Son of Heaven must cultivate his mother's clan, that is, cultivate a new and powerful group of relatives to replace the old gate valve group of the Dou clan, so it is inevitable that the Son of Heaven will arrange important official positions for himself in the court.

Tian Wei is the leader of it, and when the Son of Heaven wins a political victory, he must take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Tian Wei will inevitably rise rapidly under the momentum. Moreover, many people in the court, including the Son of Heaven, thought that Tian Wei was quite talented, just because Tian Wei was very eloquent and had studied ancient books such as Panyu, and the Son of Heaven arranged for Tian Wei to be a lieutenant for himself and for his maternal relatives.

Taiwei is the second official position in the court after the prime minister, in charge of military affairs, the same status as the prime minister, the highest military attache position, the rank of ten thousand stones, gold seal purple ribbon. It can be said that for high power, in order to help his little nephew regain the power of the emperor after Tian Wei gained power, of course, he would do everything he could to fight political opponents......

Wei Xuan's worries are very well-founded, he knows what kind of character Tian Wei is, if it sounds good, it is eloquent, and if it is ugly, it is a villain with a sweet belly, and then Tian Wei is ugly, and when he was humble, he was teased and didn't care about it on the surface, and the first thing he did after gaining power was to put those who used to laugh at him to death.

"No way!" Wei Wanhuo stood up and shouted behind the screen: "Someone, prepare the car!" This prime minister wants to go ahead to the Wu'an Hou Mansion! ”

The cautious character determines Wei Juan's behavior, he guesses that the Taiwei Tian Wei knows the military situation of the Biansai, and Tian Wei knows that it is equivalent to the Son of Heaven knowing, if he conceals it and does not report it, when the barbarians invade, the responsibility for the loss of the Biansai will have to be borne by himself, with the temperament of the Son of Heaven, then I am afraid that it will not be as simple as dismissal, and it is possible to be punished!

Wei Juan's prime minister's carriage came to the mansion of the Marquis of Wu'an, and he ordered his attendants to report to the door, while he stayed in the frame to conceive the vocabulary.

Soon, the housekeeper of the Marquis of Wu'an had a reaction, and when he learned that it was the prime minister of the present dynasty who was visiting, he quickly ordered someone to inform Tian Wei, who was having fun with the singer. The housekeeper personally greeted him, smiled at the entourage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and came to the Prime Minister's frame to confess, saying that the master would go out to greet him immediately.

Wei Juan didn't have the heart to care about these false courtesies, so he snorted a few words casually and lost his voice.

After a while, Wu'an Hou Tianwei laughed out loud, and the door of Wu'an Hou's mansion was immediately opened, putting on a very important etiquette for Prime Minister Wei Xuan.

"Huh? Tian is late, the prime minister is not strange. ”

Wei Juan heard Tian Wei's voice and immediately got out of the frame and nervously greeted him, "There is a lot of haste in visiting without warning, but there is a big event!" ”

Tian Wei's expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled and invited Wei Wan into the mansion.

Wei Juan saw Tian Wei's smiling appearance, and the more he believed that the military situation of Biansai had been known to Tian Wei. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that his choice was indeed right, "Taiwei, Wu'an Hou!" ”

Tian Weile asked: "Why is the prime minister like this?" ”

"Hey! Tai Lieutenant, don't be like this...... Wei Juan was depressed in his heart, "The military situation at the border is urgent, Tai Lieutenant, as the head of the military attaché, you need to go with me to ask to see the Holy Monarch, don't pretend!" ”

Tian Wei's expression was stunned, and his small eyes narrowed into lines, "The counties of the border are already on defense, what else is the emergency military situation?" ”

On the surface, Tian Wei laughed in his heart, of course he also received military information about Biansai, and he knew more and more details than Wei Juan. For some political reasons, some things that cannot be announced to the public are known to him except the Son of Heaven.

Wei Juan bowed, "Marquis Wu'an...... Captain ......"

Titles and titles were shouted back and forth. It was another low profile, which was already extremely embarrassing for the prime minister of the past, Tian Wei was satisfied with Wei Juan's attitude, and simply agreed.

"So, thank you in advance."

**********************************************************************

No matter what others say, Tian Wei is indeed a scheming person. He always tries to get the best out of everything, just like this time. He knew that there were countless eyes looking at him, so he greeted Wei Juan affectionately in the same car, and Wei Juan was not easy to refuse if he was concerned about the way to protect himself. As a result, a temporary repertoire of 'Seeking God's grace in the wind and fire' was staged for people to see.

The prime minister and the Taiwei asked to enter the imperial city at night, and the news was quickly spread by countless ears and eyes, and for a while, the already nervous Chang'an gate valve opened his eyes wide and stretched out his ears, paying close attention to whether there would be any new changes in the political pattern.

On the other hand. The Dou Clan Gate Valve Group knew that Wei Xuan, who was the old Huang faction, and Tian Wei, a strong enemy, had come together. A new political storm is beginning to brew......

After nightfall, the imperial city is not allowed to open unless it is important and important, which is a rule that has existed since ancient times, causing Tian Wei and Wei Juan to be stopped by the imperial city guards before coming to the imperial city.

"Inform the Captain that we have urgent military needs to see you today!"

The same tone of the prime minister and the captain made the captains of the city gates who were guarding the city jump, knowing that there would be no major incident, and the two important ministers would enter the imperial city at the same time, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly asked people to inform the guard Li Guang.

There is a cloud in the Han law: the gate is heavy, and each gate needs to be guarded by a captain. The city gate was lost, and the whole family of the captain guarding the gate was punished. The lieutenants of each gate did not have a fixed official title. For example, if you are tucking a door, then you are called a tucking door captain.

After a long wait, Li Guang hasn't come yet, Cheng Buzhi came first.

Cheng Buzhiben and Li Guang led the troops in the border county, and the relationship between the two was not bad, but after being transferred to Chang'an, due to the difference in authority and some political reasons, the friendship between the two gradually weakened. Now Li Guang is the prefect of the Praetorian Guard of Weiyang Palace (the head of Liu Che's bodyguards); Cheng Buzhi also came to serve as the chief of the Praetorian Guard of Changle Palace (the head of Dou's bodyguards).

Wei Juan saw that it was Cheng Buzhi, who was in control of the Changle Palace Praetorian Guard, and his heart jumped, and he secretly shouted, "Bitter!" Just because Cheng Buzhi is the head of Mrs. Dou's guard, of course, her political stance is biased towards Dou's side, and now that Wei Juan is bumped into being with Tian Wei, a bad old lady Dou is angry, and his fate can be imagined.

Tian Wei has that happy and harmless 'very stupid and innocent' expression anytime and anywhere, "General Cheng, fortunately, fortunately!" Why bother you? ”

Cheng didn't know how to grin, "The prime minister and the captain entered the city at night, but what's the matter?" ”

Tian Wei coughed lightly twice, and quietly kicked Wei Juan a few times......

"This, this...... General Cheng, the military situation in Biansai is like fire, and he needs to ask to see the Holy Monarch immediately...... "Wei Juan feels that this prime minister is also enough to suck his pocket, Tian Weigui is a relative and a lieutenant, and he has never blown his beard and glared at him, and now a military general is actually looking at himself with a strange expression and obvious disdain, which makes him feel angry, "Open the city gate quickly, you can afford to miss the military situation!?" ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Buzhi continued to grin, once again glanced at Wei Juan with disdainful eyes, ordered the guards to carefully check the frame, and tossed for a long time without opening the city gate.

In fact, without the order of the Son of Heaven, the imperial city could not be opened casually at night, and everyone here knew this rule. Tian Wei and the Dou faction are not at odds, and Cheng Buzhi naturally treats Tian Wei neither salty nor light. But Wei Juan is different, he is considered to be a faction of the Dou family, so Cheng Bu didn't know that he was in the same car as Tian Wei, so he expressed his disdain many times.

After another toss, Wei Wei Li Guang was finally late.

Li Guanglai saw the strange atmosphere at the scene, he was a traditional martial artist, upright and meticulous, he didn't bother to pay attention to political factors at all, out of the dictation of the Son of Heaven, he ordered the city captain to open the city gate and let him go.

When Tian Wei and Wei Juan entered the city in the same carriage, Li Guang asked Cheng Buzhi, "What's wrong?" ”

Cheng Buzhi and Li Guangnai are old friends, although he knows that Li Guang is upright and doesn't care about politics, but after all, his position is not good for words, so he has to lower his voice: "Big deal!" ”

Li Guang clenched his fists, "I need to rush back to Weiyang Palace, there is labor here." "After that, he left.

That night, Prime Minister Wei Juan and Taiwei Tian Wei entered the palace to have a night talk with Liu Chebing, the Son of Heaven.

The two informed the Son of Heaven in detail about the military situation in Biansai, and had a long conversation until dawn, when it was over.

"A fierce tiger in the north, angry, rising up, and killing?"

Wei Juan didn't understand what the Son of Heaven was saying, but he knew that he was already the prime minister.

After some sadness, Wei Wan suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh: "I know!" It's him!!! ”
