Chapter 107: The Court and the Sand Table
On the main hall of Weiyang, looking at the crown prince Liu Che sitting upright on the chairman, the ministers exchanged their heads and talked about it. Liu Che glanced coldly for a week, and said loudly: "What are the ministers doing?" ”
(Note: Because there was no dragon chair at that time, the prince could sit as the chairman of the main hall when he was in charge of the country, and he did not trespass.) )
"Your Highness, Your Majesty's absence from the early dynasty has been three days, is the dragon body violated?" Prime Minister Yuan Ang slowly left the table, walked to the center of the main hall, bowed down and asked.
Liu Che smiled slightly and explained: "Father and Emperor are in good health, and now they are dealing with urgent military affairs, so the prime minister doesn't need to worry too much!" ”
Yuan Ang was not so easy to dismiss, he shook the ground and said in an urn voice: "Your Highness, the Central Government Office (equivalent to the State/Affairs/Yuan) has not received any war reports, what is the urgent military affairs that make Your Majesty so concerned that you even waste government affairs?" ”
"Bold! What is the crime of slandering the Son of Heaven?! Sun Quan, the eunuch of the palm print, raised his eyebrows and scolded him.
"The minister is guilty!" Yuan Ang fell to his knees with a thud, and his forehead slammed to the ground three times in a row, making a dull sound. When he looked up, his forehead was already bruised. He didn't care at all, and immediately straightened up and said, "Ranchen said today that if he can't see His Majesty again, he would rather kneel and die in this court!" ”
Liu Che raised his hand to stop Sun Quan, who was still about to reprimand, looked at Yuan Ang with interest, glanced at the circle of ministers again, and asked slowly: "Which other minister thinks like a prime minister?" ”
The main hall instantly became silent, and the oppressive air seemed to have completely solidified, making people a little suffocated.
After a while, Tai Nong ordered Cao Luan to get up and leave the table, and without saying a word, he came to the position behind Yuan An's side, and slowly knelt down, but his waist was straight. Immediately, the ministers left the table and fell to the ground, and more than 20 people knelt on the ground in a moment.
Liu Che didn't care at all, touched his chin, looked at Dou Jun who was sitting on the seat, and asked, "What do you think of the Great Order?" ”
Dou Jun was stunned when he heard this, hurriedly got up to avoid the table, pondered for a moment, bowed down and said, "Since Your Majesty is entangled in military affairs, can you let the ministers meet the Queen Mother?" ”
Liu Che squinted his eyes, noncommittal, and immediately turned his head to look at Gongsun Kunxie: "What about the will of the country?" ”
Gongsun Kunxie stood up, waved slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Since the Son of Heaven has issued a decree, if His Majesty is absent, he will let His Highness act as the prisoner of the country, then what else is there to say?!" ”
Liu Che bowed slightly, waved his hand and motioned for Dou Jun and Gongsun Kunxie to return to the table and sit down, then looked at Zhang Guan, who was hesitant, and asked with a frown: "Zhang Tingwei, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Guan secretly glanced at Dou Jun, who had a gloomy face, hesitated for a moment, and then got up and replied, "The minister has no objection!" ”
When Liu Che heard this, he was full of slander in his heart. No objection, whose opinion is there no objection to?
"Sun Quan, let's make a decree!" Liu Che was silent for a long time, then his face relaxed, and he smiled slightly.
"No!" Sun Quan bowed down and agreed, then took out a holy decree, and said loudly: "The edict of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Yuan An, the prime minister of Xuan, Cao Luan, the Tainong order, and the hussar general Qin Yong went to the Weiyang Pingyu Palace to meet him." Immediately, Lieutenant Zhang Tang led the Northern Army to step up the defense of the capital; In addition to the land of Sanfu, the soldiers of the four counties of Hongnong, Hedong, Hanoi, and Henan in Gyeonggi were all handed over to Qin Yong, the general of the cavalry; The county soldiers belonging to the land of Sanfu, Jing Zhaoyin, Feng Yi on the left, and Fufeng on the right are in moderation, and if they are not equipped with holy decrees and tiger talismans, they are not allowed to transfer troops, and those who violate them will destroy their nine clans! ”
As soon as the edict came out, the Manchu dynasty was shocked. Prime Minister Yuan Ang was even more shocked, and finally determined that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was true, His Majesty did have urgent military affairs, and it must be an earth-shattering event. In the land of the seven counties of Gyeonggi, there are hundreds of thousands of county soldiers, and Guanzhong has always had a fierce people's customs, and it can be said that the most powerful military force of the Han Dynasty is these hundreds of thousands of Gyeonggi soldiers in addition to the 100,000 central army in Chang'an City. Generally, it will not move lightly, even if the Huns have repeatedly violated the border for decades, they will only use the troops of the surrounding counties at most. Now that the seven counties of Gyeonggi are all preparing for war, it can be expected that the scale is no less than the battle between Gaozu and Mao Dunshan in Baideng.
Liu Che ignored the ministers who were all in the meeting, and did not instruct Sun Quan, he got up and left the table, and waved his small hand: "Retreat from the court!" Then, in the dull eyes of the ministers, he slowly walked towards the apse, waving his sleeves and leaving no clouds.
In the newly completed Pingyu Palace, Emperor Jing, whose eyes were red, sat on a chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and slowly tasted it. In the center of the main hall is a huge sand table. In the sand table, there are not only mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also blue alum paved into rivers. If you are familiar with the topography of the Han Dynasty, you can see at a glance that this is clearly a miniature version of the land of Henan.
In order to make this full-scale sand table, Liu Che spent more than half a month to depict the map in the library in detail. Combined with the hundreds of spies sent to Heshuo by Emperor Jingdi, it took nearly half a year to collect various contemporary terrain and Xiongnu military distribution, and carefully analyze and adjust, only then did a complete and accurate military map be confirmed.
Subsequently, Emperor Jing tried his best to disagree with the public, and spent a huge amount of money on "luxury" for the first time in his life, and completely followed the design of the crown prince Liu Che to build the Pingyu Palace. Liu Che personally commanded the craftsmen of the Prince Zhan Shifu, and it took more than a month to complete the equal proportion of the sand table in Henan with a length and width of five zhang.
Because the sand table is too large, it is impossible to have a panoramic view from the side. Liu Che deliberately even built three built-in floors in the Pingyu Palace, just like the hollow teahouse of later generations. Place the sand table on the patio, stand on the third floor, and look down, you can see it at a glance. In order to be able to see the details clearly at the same time, Liu Che also deliberately ordered people to polish nearly 100 glass lenses by hand at any cost, and made them into the first batch of telescopes in the Han Dynasty.
The first time Emperor Jing saw the telescope, he regarded it as a treasure. He is not a fool, and naturally knows how useful this thing is when it appears on the battlefield. Even Liu Che bluntly said that the cost was as high as 10,000 yuan, but it did not stop Emperor Jing's surging enthusiasm. It wasn't until Liu Che promised to make a hundred telescopes for him to distribute that Emperor Jing was satisfied and let Liu Che go.
Emperor Jing did not ask Liu Che to present the method of making the telescope, he knew very well that the siege equipment used by the Xiongnu when attacking Yanmen Fortress was the most important weapon of the country, but it still flowed into the hands of the Xiongnu. I think that if a large number of telescopes are made, I am afraid that it will not be long, and the Huns will not lack it in their hands. Emperor Jing, who had always been cautious, even asked Liu Che to leave a unique mark on each telescope when making telescopes in the future, so that it could be used to investigate those who dared to collaborate with the enemy in the future.
Emperor Jing stayed in the Pingyu Hall for three days and three nights, never leaving. Fortunately, Liu Che had already considered it, and all kinds of facilities for eating, drinking, and Lazar in the palace were very complete, and even sent a few imperial doctors to take care of it, and the queen Wang Wan also came from time to time to remind Emperor Jing of his work and rest, so that Emperor Jing did not "die of overwork".
In fact, Liu Che can understand the emperor's father very well, as the son of the Han Dynasty, he is naturally excited when he looks at the picturesque rivers and mountains that are about to be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. The pleasure between watching the sand table and reading the military newspaper is not a level at all, which is the so-called "visual impact" in later generations. Even if it's not Emperor Jing, if it's replaced by other male surnames with normal male hormones, I'm afraid that most of them like the war sand table.
What's more, Emperor Jing not only appreciates the sand table, but also appreciates the real-time battle report. The Tiger Battalion and the Yulin Battalion have long been trained in wargame deduction, and these are in the period of the school, respectively relying on two miniature sand tables, to carry out the war game deduction confrontation against the land of Henan. Every other hour, the generals of the military justice department, who are the referees, will summarize the real-time battle reports to the Pingyu Palace, and re-deduce them one by one on the large sand table, which is very enjoyable to see Emperor Jing. He was deeply immersed in it, sometimes scolding, sometimes praising loudly, constantly commenting on every war report, and even wishing to participate in this Rausch war game in person.
When Liu Che, the prince who had returned from the current dynasty, walked into the Pingyu Palace, the three-day war games had ended for nearly an hour, and Emperor Jing finally came back to his senses slightly, sat on a chair by the fence on the third floor, and slowly tasted the new tea concocted by Liu Che.
