Chapter 506: How to Fulfill the Contract

Now Gao Huan has finally achieved his goal and become the king of a country above 10,000 people, he can command the world to do whatever he wants, but for the high-ranking person is not as beautiful as it seems, so calling for wind and rain. Many times www.biquge.info Gao Huan feels that he regrets being the emperor, but in fact, he can't do whatever he wants, for example, now he plans to fulfill the agreement with Liu Ruyan back then, but many old ministers in the court refused to go to war with the Turks on the grounds that the people were tired and the treasury was empty all year round.

In fact, Gao Huan knows very well in his heart that these opponents more or less have their own goals, for example, some people are old and unwilling to fight in battle, and want to enjoy their old age in peace, such as Sima Ziru and Sun Teng. Some people are inextricably linked with the Turks, and there are even interests involved, such as Dugu Xin, Yuan Xin, and Gao Bin and others. Then there are those who think that they have no hatred with the Turkic tribes and do not want to be drawn into the war, and this type of people is headed by Yang Kan.

But when Gao Huan sent Liu Ruyan to the Golden Horde Khan before, he had an agreement with her, and said that within two years, more than a year had passed since Rujian, but the promise did not even have a trace of meaning to be fulfilled at the moment, which made Gao Huan very depressed, but he is now the emperor of China, with millions of male soldiers under his command, tens of millions of people behind him, strong soldiers and horses, how can he not be able to defeat the Turks?

However, the courtiers responded to Gao Huan's three mentions of this matter, and even Yang Kan and others, who had been very supportive of him before, were also wandering left and right, and only two people in the court clearly stated that they wanted to crusade against the Turks, one was Yang Xiuzhi, the right prime minister, he looked at this battlefield from a national standpoint, and one was Xu Mingzhi, the imperial historian, Gao Huan was not surprised that he was so enthusiastically in favor, because he had worked as a coolie in the prisoner of war camp of the Turks in his early years, and he hated the Turks. It is rumored that in order to escape from the Turkic court, he even went so far as to work as a spy in exchange for his freedom.

Gao Huan naturally didn't listen to this kind of groundless gossip, Xu Mingzhi was even more jealous of the Turks, and now the new emperor Gao Huan took the initiative to start a war with those northern barbarians, and he was naturally the first to stand up and respond. But others don't seem to be interested in it, so he and Yang Xiuzhi can't help but be a little weak. Seeing this, Gao Huan also knew that this matter might not be so smooth for a while. He was going to find a way to get these people to come up with the initiative to fight the Turks.

But as for how to make them comply, Gao Huan didn't think of a good way. So he began to suffer from insomnia, and he was depressed at tea and dinner, and finally this situation was discovered by Erzhu Caihuang, so this day Caihuang took advantage of the time when he was playing with the second prince Fenyang King in the extreme dormitory palace, and asked: "Your Majesty, the concubine came to see you today, what is on your mind?" Gao Huan smiled when he heard this: "Concubine Ai will be careful when she arrives, I, I am now encountering a little problem, but I am afraid that you will not be able to help me and solve this problem." ”

Er Zhu Caihuang said disapprerovingly: "Hmph, Your Majesty, don't underestimate me, when Sister Ruyi went, I jumped up on my shoulders to bear the burden of the family, and the concubines didn't dare to boast, but I also knew a little about military affairs with my father since I was a child." You might as well say it and I'll hear it. Gao Huan glanced at her and said: "This is not good, as the saying goes, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, if these things are told to you, those scholars and doctors will know about you and criticize you, I think it's better to forget it." "Hmph, as courtiers, they can't worry about the king, but they have to slander the sincerity of the concubines?" Erzhu Caihuang said very unhappily.

Gao Huan had no choice but to comfort her and said: "Alas, in fact, it doesn't hurt to say that it doesn't hurt to listen to you, I have been thinking about the agreement with Liu Ruyan these days, just imagine how heavy she is when she is a weak woman trapped in the enemy camp and spying for us, how heavy the physical humiliation and homesickness in my heart is, as a man, I disdain my original choice, but at that time, I was indeed forced by the situation, and there was no other way, but if I unify the sea and unify the country today, I have the ability and confidence to defeat the Turks, However, the old ministers in the court did not seem to be interested in this, and several discussions were fruitless. ”

Er Zhu Caihuang nodded and said: "It's because of this, I think that the woman named Liu Ruyan can indeed be regarded as a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and she can be called a heroine among women on a par with Cai Wenji." Gao Huan immediately echoed: "Yes, I also think so, a strange woman like this, I really can't bear to see her humiliated in the enemy camp, this is not only related to the survival of our nation, but also the face of our country, since ancient times, only a coward like Liu Bang would come up with a strategy of harmony, I must not be along." ”

Erzhu Caihuang smiled and comforted him: "The concubine knows that Your Majesty is a bloody man, but unfortunately there are a few men like you in the world, and those in the court are cowering; The old ministers naturally have their calculations, and they will definitely not easily agree to go to war with the Turks, but. Gao Huan hurriedly asked anxiously: "But what, don't sell it." Erzhu Caihuang said with a smile: "But they also have their weaknesses and shortcomings. ”

Gao Huan asked puzzledly, "What do you say?" Erzhu Caihuang said with a smile: "When he was in Xiurong, my father took a lot of trouble to unify the Erzhu clan, but then he found a way to make these tribal leaders who were independent and had their own calculations gathered together and followed him with all their hearts. Gao Huan said anxiously: "Oh, my little aunt, don't tease me, hurry up." ”

Erzhu Caihuang leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, Gao Huan couldn't help but nod, and then asked, "Is this okay?" Erzhu Caihuang said with a smile: "Dealing with these people, if you don't let them feel the threat of death, they won't understand." I'm sure this will work, but if it doesn't work, you can try it. Gao Huan thought thoughtfully for a moment and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll try it according to what you said." ”

So the next day, when Gao Huan sat on the dragon chair of the Qinzheng Palace, he said to the dozens of high-ranking officials of the court below: "As the new king, I think I am caring for the people and hanging the orphans. Before, Gao Huan proposed to crusade against the Turks, many people disagreed, and now he proposed to patrol all over the country to observe the suffering of the people, this is a good thing, if the minister of the industry bureau refuses again, it will be inauthentic, so they have opened their mouths to praise: "Your Majesty is really a bodhisattva, love the people like a son." ”

Gao Huan was also very happy in his heart, and he said in his heart: You old foxes also have a plan, and you didn't agree with me to crusade against the Turks before, so don't blame me for digging a pit for you, so that you, the ministers who are pampered on weekdays, can also experience the suffering of the border people. It turned out that Erzhu Caihuang gave him the idea to take these ministers to the border cities bordering the Turks in the north to check the local suffering, feel the threat of the Turks, and find out the miserable life of the border people, so that they might be able to understand the significance of exterminating the Turks.
