Chapter 53: Court Controversy (1)
Han Dynasty, Chang'an City.
Weiyang Palace has been built since the seventh year of the Han Dynasty Gaozu Liu Bang sent Prime Minister Xiao He to supervise the construction on the basis of the Qin Dynasty Zhangtai, and it has been more than 100 years now.
The name of Weiyang Palace comes from the poem "Xiaoya" "How the night is, the night is not young", which means that the dynasty will never end.
The Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace is the place where the emperor summons officials to discuss the government and deal with official affairs, it is the early dynasty, the officials sit neatly in the hall, all with solemn faces, waiting for the arrival of the Han Emperor Liu Xun.
Contrary to the solemn bureaucrats in the Xuanshu Palace, there was a young man standing outside the main hall, who was none other than Gou Shen, who was brought back from Yingchuan County by Ling Zhu Bo, the messenger of embroidered clothes and the guard of the Han Imperial Palace.
Gou Shen had already bathed his body carefully yesterday, but he was still wearing prison clothes, which was very different from the officials in the Xuanshu Palace, who were all dressed in black official uniforms.
Since he was led by Zhu Bo to wait outside the main hall in the morning, Zhu Bo has not known where to go, Gou Shen has been standing here for more than an hour, so that the officials of the previous dynasty have looked at him a few times when they pass by Gou Shen, but no one knows who Lu Dao is this person in prison clothes, and why he is standing here.
Gou Shen did not squint, he was calm in the face of many inquiring eyes, his body was straight, and his face did not change until he saw Zhang Chang.
Zhang Chang, the Taishou of Shanyang County, entered the Xuanshu Hall among a group of bureaucrats, and when he saw Gou Shen, he was surprised at first, and then an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face, and when he saw Gou Shen looking at himself, he squeezed his eyes.
Seeing that Zhang Chang winked at himself, but he couldn't respond, he knew that his image was too ostentatious, so he only sighed in his heart, and watched this only unfamiliar acquaintance enter the main hall.
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has arrived, and hundreds of civil and military officials have paid homage——"
With the shouting of the inner attendant, the Xuanshu Hall suddenly fell to its knees, and Gou Shen also knelt down outside the Xuanshu Palace.
Emperor Liu Xun wore a dragon robe and went to court at the instigation of the guards and attendants, and after three kowtows and nine bows, the court meeting officially began.
Bing Ji, the prime minister of the old Longzhong, stood up from behind the case, and said tremblingly: "Under the Qixiang Majesty, the Xiongnu passed through Maodun Shan Yu, Lao Shangji Congee Shan Yu, Junchen Shan Yu, Yizhi Oblique Shan Yu, Wu Wei Shan Yu, Wu Shilu Shan Yu, Yu Lihu Shan Yu, and Hou Hou Shan Yu, Hulu Gu Shan Yu, Hu Yan Yu Shan Yu, Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu, after the frequent state affairs, years of scuffle, and now divided into five tribes. ”
Bing Ji coughed continuously as he spoke, and Liu Xun said: "The prime minister just sit down and talk, it's been cold recently, but you have to pay attention to your body." ”
"Waiter, take a cup of hot ginseng soup and give it to the prime minister."
Bing Ji thanked him and continued: "The five tribes of the Xiongnu are: Hu Han Evil Shan Yu, Hu Han Evil Shan is the son of Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu, and now in the East; the second Tu Qi Shan Yu, is the cousin of Yan Qi Shan Yu, in Shan Yu Court; the third is to call for a single Yu, in the West; Its four chariots and ploughs are single, and the brother of the king is chased by the day, in the middle of the east; Its five Wu borrowed from the single, in the middle to the west. ”
"The five Xiongnu are separated, and Tu Qishan is to send people to meet our dynasty, and I am willing to be friendly with my Han Kingdom for generations, enjoy peace, and ask Your Majesty to make a decision."
Liu Xun has been living in the folk since he was a child, and he was raised by Bing Ji as his own son, and his feelings for Bing Ji are naturally extraordinary.
After Bing Ji finished speaking, he sat down and stopped talking.
Liu asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the Prime Minister's statement about the envoy of the Huns?" ”
Hearing the emperor's inquiry, the ministers in the palace were all talking, Liu Xun and other chamberlains brought the hot ginseng soup to Bing Ji, and saw the white-haired old general Zhao Chongguo looking at him, so he said: "Marquis Yingping, what should you do if you talk about this matter?" ”
Zhao Chongguo, Marquis of Yingping, the word Weng Sun, was over seventy years old at this time, and when he heard the emperor ask himself, he couldn't hold back for a long time: "Think beautiful!" That's impossible! ”
"Your Majesty, Yu Gong, a barbaric state of the Huns, bloodthirsty, less educated, and wolf-like ambitions, have often attacked our Han people for hundreds of years, and brutalized our Han people, it is really a race that does not know what shame is."
"In the early years, the minister attacked the Huns with the second division general Li Guangli, besieged by the Huns, no food, no water to drink, it can be said that the arrows were exhausted, almost killed in it, fortunately, the soldiers were brave, with one as a hundred, and finally filled the country to lead more than 100 strong men to break through the siege, this is the shame of life!"
"Now, the Xiongnu are in civil strife, and the national strength is weakened, oh, they are still shrewd, but now they can't do it, so what generation of friendship do they want to do with us? What did you do in the early years! ”
"The old minister thought that while he was sick, he would want his life! Talking to the robbers about mercy, that is cruel to oneself, the old minister is willing to lead my Han iron-blooded man, thousands of miles to help, it is bound to level the Hun tribe in one fell swoop, and prevent future troubles, and forever protect the peace of my Han territory! ”
Zhao Chongguo's impassioned words resonated with many people, and everyone supported them, Liu Xun looked at everyone's reactions and asked: "Yushi, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Wang, the imperial historian, had a beautiful beard, a high nose and big eyes, a full heavenly court, and a tall figure, and when he heard the emperor's inquiry, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time, you should not fight with the Xiongnu and settle grudges, but should agree to the request of the Xiongnu envoys and be friendly neighbors with them." ”
As soon as Xiao Wangzhi's words came out, there was another chaotic discussion in the Xuanshu Palace, but the voice was much louder than just now, Zhao Chongguo glared at Xiao Wangzhi, and Liu Xun asked: "What does Doctor Xiao mean by this?" ”
Xiao Wangzhi said: "Your Majesty, not long ago, the Huns once sent someone to Chang'an, saying that His Majesty, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was his brother, and he was willing to bow down to the Han Dynasty, and no matter what the purpose of this is, now the cousin Tu Qishan Yu of the Yan Dynasty has just died, and the cousin of the Yan Qi Shan Yu has sent an envoy to reiterate his surrender to me. ”
As soon as Xiao Wangzhi said this, someone smiled and said: "Yes, we are unrighteous soldiers, when Mao Dun, this old guy Pingcheng besieged my Emperor Gaozu, and wrote a letter of state to humiliate Empress Lu, after Mao Dun swallowed his breath, his son Lao Shangji Congee Shan Yu, quietly bypassed the Great Wall with righteous soldiers, and burned our Han Palace, hey, hey, hey, we are great unrighteous soldiers!" Then the Huns are very good. ”
Xiao Wangzhi looked over, and this person who spoke like a yin and yang was Yang Yun, the minister of Guanglu, who was in charge of guarding the gate of the palace.
Yang Yun is one of the Nine Qings, his father Yang Chang once served as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty when Liu Xungang was the emperor, and Yang Yun's mother Sima Ying is Sima Qian's daughter, and most of the ministers in the court have a very good personal relationship with Yang Yun, so as soon as his words are spoken, there will naturally be people who respond.
Xiao Wangzhi frowned and said: "Doctor Yang's words are biased, at this time and at that time, now the national strength of my Han cannot be the same as a hundred years ago, where can the Xiongnu use strength against our Han again?" ”
"Then according to Xiao Yushi's meaning, if our Han national strength is not as good as the Xiongnu, those guys can use it against us?"
Yang Yun has always done things as he wants, there are no rules to follow, Xiao Wangzhi felt that Yang Yun intended to make trouble with himself today, purely to oppose himself, so he ignored him.
Xiao Wangzhi said to Liu Xun: "Your Majesty, the minister reads "Spring and Autumn", which has a record: During the period of Jin Pinggong, Fan Xuanzi, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, led the army to attack Qi, to the border, and heard that Qi Linggong was dead, so he withdrew the army and returned. ”
"Now that the Grip Yan Qu has just collapsed, we are not only unrighteous soldiers, but we will be ridiculed by others, and I am afraid that our efforts will be fruitless."
[Note: The Spring and Autumn Period is a Confucian scripture that records the history from the first year of Lu Yin (722 BC) to the fourteenth year (481 BC) of the reign of Lu Aigong, and it is also the earliest existing chronicle in China. 】
