In a chaotic era, there was a threat from nomads such as the Xiongnu; There are princes and kings peeping into the throne, compared with any existing dynasty, the system established by Liu Bang, the emperor of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, is doomed to internal instability.

The rebellion of Wu Chu sounded the first alarm for this big empire, although the rebellion of Wu Chu was quickly put down, but this also shows one thing, this big empire, her internal is extremely bad!

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, divided half of the country's land to the nine sons of the Liu family, and each piece of land established a vassal state, and the nine sons of the Liu family were the supreme rulers of the vassal states, the king, and the king was a rank second only to the emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The feudal system implemented by info was still a restoration of the old way of the Zhou Dynasty, making the central power a princely overlord, and there was nothing to show for economically.

The central government has no control over the princely kingdoms, and the central government only sends some officials to the state within a state to hold a less important position than the state minister, with the intention of surveillance, but can it really help? Each country within a nation has its own large army, which can make its own coins, and even taxes are collected by the central power. In the eyes of many people, the feudal system is the source of trouble, but if you are not in it, who can arbitrarily conclude that this system is wrong?

Success or failure, merit or demerit or wrong, naturally there will be a saying, the young son of heaven put down the book in his hand and looked straight at the roof. The cold and dull corner was like his thoughts at this time, and he felt that the future was bleak.

Long before he was made the crown prince. Liu Che learned what checks and balances are, checks and balances are not only the balance of controlling the forces of the government and the opposition, but also the relationship between countries, the so-called countries here are by no means the Xiongnu and other barbarian foreign states, but the vassal states under the central power.

This young son of heaven has learned so much and thought a lot, and he has just learned another truth. That is when things are not done, there is only forbearance, not stubbornness.

Liu Che moved his gaze back to the case, and looked sharply at the two boxes that had not yet been opened. He is in no hurry to open. This emperor always likes to guess what others will do, and now he is guessing what is written in the box, and the pupils of his eyes will gather and dissipate with his thoughts.

"Hongling is in a hurry? What did Li Xi do that required Hongling to make a return? ”

The Son of Heaven, who likes military affairs, is very sensitive to these four words. Every time there is a Hongling rush to dispatch. That would mean that there was war again. In today's situation, the royal family doesn't like to see the Hongling envoy from the north, because the military strength of the empire is very weak compared to the nomads in the north.

"20,000 out of the plug? Heh, Li Xi is a big deal, is he afraid that the government and the opposition will not know about making such a big move, or what? ”

That is, after Li Xi led the army out of the fortress. Old Lady Dou invited the Son of Heaven to Changle Palace as before. Old Mrs. Dou is blind, but her heart is not blind. The existence of the Dou Gate Valve Group has become the eyes she uses to see the world, and she knows what is happening in both the government and the opposition and the surrounding countries.

Old Lady Dou asked Liu Che leisurely: "You sent the Northern Army to Northern Xinjiang to find Princess Jing?" ”

Liu Che naturally knew that Old Lady Dou already knew everything, and replied cautiously: "Yes, grandma." ”

Old Lady Dou will not change anything because of the emperor's respect, she is still leisurely playing with the grasshopper, looking careless, "Is there a tiger talisman?" ”

Liu Che was as plain as usual, "The Son of Heaven does not need a tiger talisman to appoint a thousand soldiers. ”

Old Lady Dou teased the gnat's hand and paused, "Oh? He smiled and said, "That's right, Emperor Wen has had such a thing." ”

The Chinese nation emphasizes tradition, that is to say, if the predecessors have done something and have not been questioned, and the contemporary people have done it, they will always use the standards of the predecessors to measure the actions of the contemporary people as a criterion, and judge right and wrong.

Old Mrs. Dou suddenly stopped teasing the grasshopper who regarded her as her life, and sat upright, "Yu'er, are you wrong, or are you right?" ”

Liu Che secretly said in his heart: "It's here!" Although Mrs. Dou was blind and couldn't see, he was still busy kneeling, "For the country, my grandson doesn't know; For the sake of family affection, the grandson felt that he had done the right thing. ”

In the era when moral standards are measured by filial piety and family affection, the emperor's family has no selfish affairs, and everything in the emperor's house will be related to the national fortune, so Liu Che expressed it very clearly, he is not wrong. Mrs. Dou just doesn't like it and can't blame it, because as an elder, she can't ask her grandchildren to cut off family affection.

Liu Che saw that Old Lady Dou's eyelids kept shaking, and knew that she was thinking. He slowed down the pace of his breathing, and waited for the next step of the old lady Dou with great anxiety, he always thought that the old lady Dou didn't like him, because he robbed her beloved son of the throne, which is also a well-known thing, the old lady Dou has always wanted to give the throne to the late Liang King Liu Wu, not him Liu Che.

"That's it......" Mrs. Dou really couldn't blame an emperor who valued family affection, so her tone was much softer, "After finding Princess Jing, what should you do?" ”

Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and began to think about why Mrs. Dou asked this, and after a few careful thoughts, he replied: "If you find the second sister, the grandson thinks, it is better for grandma to make the decision." ”

Old Lady Dou heard the hesitation in the tone of the Son of Heaven, made a smiling expression, and began to tease the gnats again, and said casually: "Yu'er has an idea, right?" ”

Liu Che sighed, felt that it was inappropriate, and begged in a low voice: "My grandson is willing to listen to grandma's arrangement." ”

When this sentence was said, Liu Che's heart was sad, when the emperor was on this job, he really had unspeakable grievances, and he said that he could make up his mind in everything, but once he got an idea, there were always countless people who jumped out to obstruct it, and without the permission of Mrs. Dou, he, the emperor, couldn't do anything.

Liu Che saw that Mrs. Dou's smile naturally rose, and knew that what she wanted was definitely such an answer, so she made a look, "It's the emperor begging me." It's not me imposing interference' for outsiders to see. Liu Che was so embarrassed that the fist placed under the case was clenched 'creaking', and the center of his eyebrows also jumped with green tendons, and it was enough to be the emperor when he was on this job.

When Mrs. Dou is happy, she will always talk to the grasshopper. Now she just threw Liu Che aside, and boasted to the grasshopper that her grandson was filial piety, becoming more and more sensible, etc., and it took a quarter of an hour to stop talking to herself, she stretched out her hand, "Come, grandma hasn't touched Bi'er's face for a few days." Liu Che obediently leaned over and leaned his face up.

Old Mrs. Dou's wrinkled hand slowly touched Liu Che's face, "Yu'er has grown up, and she has a beard." She can't see it with her eyes, she looks at the world with her heart, but now she touches Liu Che's face with deep intentions, "Yu'er has ideas in her heart." Is it? ”

People tend to keep their faces tense when they're in a bad mood. Then the muscles of the face will gather together, and the skin will still be tense no matter how much you want to relax.

Liu Che was depressed, and consciously learned a way to observe people from Mrs. Dou, and said: "Grandson naturally has ideas, but it is better to follow grandma's arrangement." ”

Mrs. Dou didn't mind, and began to talk about Liu Che not to be in a hurry, talking about the national policy of the late Emperor Xiaojing when he was alive, the country needs to be stable rather than radical, and so on. It was only at the end that the point was stated, "Biao'er is still young." It is not easy for the ancestors to establish a foundation, and they should learn more, see more, think more, don't be too anxious about everything, anyone can do things in a hurry, but Yu'er can't. ”

Others only see that Dou is in power, and know that the Dou Gate Valve Group is powerful under the protection of the old lady Dou, but who knows that this old lady originally intended to be for the good of the country, but it backfired, this old lady lives in the deep palace and needs eyes, and the Dou Gate Valve Group is her eyes, and she can't let the horses run fast and let the horses not eat grass, so there will inevitably be favoritism in handling things, which has evolved into the current situation, which makes the emperor aggrieved and wants to resist, and the other gate valves tremble and unite to protect themselves. The situation is getting out of control.

A person will have a thought, and he can't expect all people to be the same as himself, which leads to contradictions, and no one can control them.

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

The sound of footsteps outside the corridor reminded him that it was the palace guards conducting their routine patrols. His gaze was still sharp, and he stared at it for a long time, and then he reached out and picked up the box, and after opening it, he seemed surprised by the amount of white silk inside.

It took Liu Che a long time to read some of them, and he finished reading the process of describing the search, until he saw Li Xi introduce the confrontation with the army protecting the princess, and then he stopped. He cupped his cheeks with his hands, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face.

After a while, as if after digesting the information, Liu Che held up another white silk and continued to read......

"At war with the army protecting the princess?" Liu Che's eyes widened and he felt very incredible, "Protecting the princess's army? Warring? More than 1,000 soldiers were killed in battle??? ”

Liu Che definitely has a reason to be confused, what he knows is that after the Xiongnu Dadan personally led 100,000 iron cavalry trampling, many tribes of the Xiongnu took advantage of the great death of the Han State to send troops to invade the Han border, the border army experienced many bloody battles, heavy casualties, the troops of the border counties were insufficient, and many counties were breached, so the princess married and the relatives were robbed in the Han realm.

Liu Che regarded the robbery of the princess in the Han border as another great shame, and was furious, but received an urgent report, the princess was robbed by the Huns, but the Hun army that robbed the princess did not know who was defeated, and the Huns who stayed in the detention center were killed. He was happy in his heart, he had killed the Huns to nothing, and he was not more excited than hearing the news, as if he had a bad breath, but he began to be confused again, who defeated the Huns, and rescued or took the princess away?

The lack of troops in the border county is an indisputable fact, Liu Che did not think in the direction of the Han army to rescue his sister, but thought that it was the heroic or horse gang who were free from the border fortress, at first I thought that there would be news immediately, but a whole month passed, not only did the Xiongnu side not investigate the disappearance of the pro-team, but no one contacted the Han officials, which ruled out the possibility of heroic heroes or horse gangs.

Unable to think of a reason, Liu Che simply didn't want to, and continued to look down, hoping to get a definite answer from the information sent back by Li Xi. However, Li Xi did not write about the origin of the army that protected the princess, but mainly wrote about the process of the battle between the two armies.

When Liu Che saw that the two thousand border army foot soldiers were killed by a thousand cavalry soldiers and were powerless, his entire brow furrowed. Not only confused why the army protecting the princess fought with the border army, but also doubted the combat effectiveness of the border army, "Could it be that the border army is not fortified or the enemy is invincible?" It was normal to have such thoughts, and he had the impression that although the Han army rarely fought field battles with nomads, it should not be beaten to the point of being defenseless.

Very suddenly. Liu Che was stunned for a moment, "The army that protects my sister is a cavalry army?" Then he looked down and understood that he was using the cavalry to kick up the dust mist. The wind blew the dust and mist in the direction of the border army's infantry formation, causing the border sergeant to be unable to see and breathe through his mouth and nose. "I see! Fight in the midst of the day. This Dharma is great! After admiring, his brows furrowed again, "Where did the cavalry come from?" ”

Liu Che stopped watching again, thinking about why the two armies were fighting, and it seemed that he immediately came to a conclusion, keenly guessing that it must be for merit, "Li Xi and Su Xin should be damned!" He knows better than anyone about the Lee Gate Valve and the Su Gate Valve. There has always been a lot of contradiction between these two gate valves, which is why Li Xi was sent as the main general. After all, it is too dangerous to put an army in the hands of one person, and one person must be arranged to contain the main general, so that the two can be balanced.

Now, Liu Che feels that he seems to have arranged it wrong, officialdom needs checks and balances, this is to prevent one side from sitting big, and once there are two voices ......in the army, Liu Che already knows that the complete command power needed in the army, rather than the main general and deputy general pinching each other, otherwise it will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, and it will also reduce the combat effectiveness of the army itself.

"Such a warlike cavalry army is composed of defeated soldiers and captive slaves in the border counties?"

Liu Che read the battle between the two armies written by Li Xi, and also saw the origin of Li Xi's introduction to the cavalry army that protected the princess, and felt very incredible, and at the same time he was angry that the two armies were fighting each other, "Su Xin's crime, the crime should be executed!" His eyes flashed with a fierce light, it is a good thing for the royal family to compete with the gate valve, but once the fight is against the occasion, such a gate valve is not to be desired.

"Rider of the Tiger and Par?"

Liu Che saw that Li Xi used the words 'tiger and leopard horse' more than once to describe the cavalry army that protected the princess, and the more curious he became about this cavalry, and Li Xi also detailed this army according to his own understanding for some purposes. Liu Che was surprised to know that this cavalry army entered the grassland from more than 1,000 people, and instead of being annihilated, it fought several times in the grassland and continued to grow and develop.

As far as the Han people understand, the tribes on the grassland are all uneducated Hulu, very barbaric and murderous, and it is common for the same tribe to attack each other. The Chinese caravans are welcome to enter the grasslands for trade, but they will not see the Chinese armed troops entering the grasslands, otherwise they will be invited to attack them en masse.

"An ownerless army of less than a thousand entered the steppe and strengthened itself by waging dozens of large and small raids against the nomads. April campaign, four months! The knights who survived were all fierce soldiers who had experienced tragic battles, and I ......"

Liu Che suddenly felt that something was wrong, and remembered that after saving the princess, he didn't go back, nor did he contact the Han Kingdom, but went to the grassland, and felt that this was very abnormal. After pondering for a while, he picked up the white silk and looked carefully, and finally saw the commander of the cavalry army, and understood everything from Li Xi's narrative without any of his own speculation.

As an emperor, you can't just judge right and wrong according to your own preferences, Liu Che saw that Li Xi's Lin Bin was excluded, which led to separation from the army, at the request of the guards, Lin Bin led the army to raid and rescue the princess, and understood why he led the army out and looked at Li Xi's description of Lin Bin's figure and temperament, and keenly guessed that Li Xi must have a plan.

Synthesizing a lot of information, Liu Che smiled weirdly, how could he not guess that it was the Gongsun Gate Valve and the Su Gate Valve that forced the Li Gate Valve too quickly, Li Xi was looking for a breakthrough, and he also found a breakthrough, and suddenly a character who saved the princess and protected the princess would definitely make good use of it.

"This person ......" Liu Che was about to talk to himself, a clear sound of footsteps came from the side hall, he turned his head to look, but Zhang Sai did not tell him, he seemed to be holding something in his hand, his steps were a little hurried, and he asked out loud: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Sai's face was full of joy, bowed down in front of the case of the Son of Heaven, and moved his knees forward 'puff', "Good deeds are Hexi secret letters." ”

Liu Che was not surprised, if he didn't arrange spies among the military personnel, then he wouldn't be worthy of being the Son of Heaven, and his tone was extremely flat, "Come a day late...... Can you bring Princess Jing with the seal? ”

Zhang Sai took out a red box from his arms, carefully placed it on the case of the Son of Heaven, and then moved his knees to retreat and bow to the ground.

Liu Che hurriedly picked up the box and opened it, took out the report from it, looked at it very seriously, and found that the description was indeed the same as Li Xi's description, and a smile finally appeared on his face. The emperor hates his courtiers the most. Liu Che finished reading the secret agent's report, pulled up a scene of white silk, he first sniffed it on his nose, smelled the familiar sandalwood fragrance, confirmed that it was his sister's hair, and looked at it with joy.

Zhang Sai heard a sound, quietly looked up, and saw the Son of Heaven under the oil lamp eagerly rummaging for something, as if he was comparing two white silks, with a serious smile on his face, knowing what decision this moody Son of Heaven would make. Zhang Sai wanted to withdraw quietly, but as soon as he moved his knees, the Son of Heaven asked something inexplicable.

"I ask you, kill or not?"

Zhang Sai was a little rigid, upright, a little stupid, and asked stupidly: "Who to kill?" ”

Liu Che shook the white silk full of words in the two scenes in his hand, "People who have merit and faults, kill or not?" ”

Liu Che had his own ideas for a long time, he never believed that things would be completely sure because of careful planning, everything was variable, he thought about everything, including looking for a long time and not finding the whereabouts of Nangong Princess Liu Jing, what he didn't expect was that an army with the purpose of finding people could fight with the alliance of nomads. Su Xin is dead, naturally it cannot be investigated, so there should always be someone who needs to be responsible for the casualties of nearly 10,000 border troops, so there is such a question.

Zhang Sai didn't understand very well, "The Han has a law: meritorious service should be rewarded, and excessive punishment should be punished; The merits and demerits are offset by the merits, and there is no merit and no sin. ”

Liu Che said to himself in a very low voice, "In this way, Li Xi doesn't have to come back." He put down the two white silks in his hand, searched for it, found what he was looking for, picked it up and shook it again, "What about this person?" ”

Zhang Sai's eyesight is excellent, his eyes move with the shaking white silk, and he seems to see a name that has been mentioned many times, taking advantage of the rhythm of Liu Che's hand shaking with the white silk, he swept a sentence 'Lin Bin is good at riding and fighting, his heart is as straightforward as a child, the door valve is quite intolerable, and if he is added, it will be of great use', he recognized Liu Jing's handwriting.

People's temperament determines the way this person does things, Zhang Sai is a person who asks when he has something to say, "The minister doesn't know who the lord is talking about, can he be meritorious?" Or is it guilty? ”

Liu Che was really stunned by the question, and after a period of irritable thinking, he decided not to change his mind, his sister must not be able to return to Chang'an; Li Xi was transferred to find a place to serve as a lieutenant, as for that......

"Such a person, and make a decision after observation?"

Liu Che no longer asked, but instructed Zhang Sai to go down, and he would go to Changle Palace early tomorrow morning to meet the Empress Dowager Dou. Zhang Sai retreated, and Liu Che sat alone in front of the desk, his eyes kept looking at the oil lamp, and his expression changed: It's time to take care of these gate valves!

"The Rider of the Tiger and Par...... Riding of the Tiger and Par...... The Rider of the Tiger and Par ......"

In the Weiyang Palace, the murmuring was endless.
