Chapter 56: The Emperor's Questions and Answers

The court in the Xuanshu Hall dispersed after Emperor Liu Xun announced the five edicts, as if it did not solve any problems, and it seemed that many problems were solved.

Gou Shen watched the elites of the Great Han Kingdom walk past him one by one, and the noisy Weiyang Palace just now suddenly became deserted.

Gou Shen was still standing in front of the door of the Xuanshu Palace, as if he had been forgotten.

Gou Shen's heart was a little lost, he originally thought that Liu Xun would summon him after asking about the Xiongnu and Han Yanshou and Xiao Wangzhi suing each other, but now that the sun has shone overhead, except for the rotating guards and the occasional passing attendants, there is no longer a single figure in the field of vision of the Yang Weiyang Palace.

"What is this? What does the emperor want to do with himself, a little person who is not in the grade, to come to Chang'an? Exhibit yourself, or let yourself sightsee? ”

Gou Shen thought about it, but he couldn't understand what tricks this most powerful man was doing.

Then there is only one way to go.

Finally, a small yellow door came over and said to Gou Shen: "Gou Shen, Your Majesty has summoned you in the Vermilion Bird Palace, come along." ”

In the Vermilion Bird Palace, incense curls and is as warm as spring.

Liu Xun looked at the young man in prison uniform who was lying in front of him, and asked, "Gou Shen, what do you think of the controversial Xiongnu in the court?" ”

After Gou Shen was brought in, he knelt in front of Liu Xun, thinking about what the emperor would say to him and how he should respond.

But after waiting for a long time, Liu inquired and asked such a question.

Can I say that this question has nothing to do with me, so I refuse to answer it?

"Back to His Majesty's words: The affairs of the Huns discussed by the lords in the court, there are those who want to take advantage of the civil strife of the Huns to fight, and there are those who want to treat the probationers with courtesy.

Gou Shen's voice is crisp, the words are clear, the speed of speech is not fast or slow, and Liu Xun listens clearly.

Gou Shen didn't look up, so he didn't know Liu Xun's expression reaction, but after saying the words "don't fight", Liu Xun's voice disappeared.

After a while, Liu Xun hummed and said, "Tell me." ”

Gou Shen replied: "Your Majesty, Gou Shen thinks that the Huns are also robbers!" There is a cloud in "Zuo Biography": If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Our Celestial Empire has been fighting with the Xiongnu barbarians since Gaozu, and both sides have won and lost for more than 100 years. ”

"Originally, the Xiongnu are now in chaos, scattered sand, civil war is endless, it is a good time for our Celestial Empire to attack its weakness and beat the water dogs, however, Gou Shen thinks that although the Xiongnu are in civil strife, they are not to the point where they are vulnerable and can be taken by us in one fell swoop."

"The so-called snake is not dead but bitten, the Huns have been divided, just like brothers in a family are not in harmony, but once there is a common foreign enemy, the brothers in this family will immediately unite and work together with the outside world."

"Therefore, Gou Shen thinks that if we send troops to attack the Xiongnu at this time, it will inevitably kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 ourselves, and then the Han army will be in a dilemma, which is a possible result."

Gou Shen paused slightly when he said this, heard that Liu Xun did not move on it, and continued: "Gou Shen heard the Lord Yushi say that he would send food to the Xiongnu outside the Xuanshu Palace, and many people objected, and the opponents could understand their intentions, but the affairs of the country cannot be measured by emotion, and winning the greatest benefit with the smallest effort is the way to get along with the country. ”

"Giving the Huns Tu Qi Shan some grain is a trivial matter for our Han Dynasty, but for today's Huns, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and at the same time, it can be exchanged for the goodwill of most of the Huns towards our Han."

"Gou Shen privately speculated that if possible, the Huns would continue to be chaotic, and if they continued to eat and sleep poorly, they would admire the benevolence and righteousness of our Han Dynasty, and maybe the surrender of the clan in the future may not be known."

"Oh? Do you think it is possible for the Xiongnu to surrender to the Han? ”

Gou Shen raised his head slightly and said: "It is very likely that the former has Qudu Longdanyu's youngest son Gu Qilou who led Tu Qi Dan Yu to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and the Xuan Room Palace's proposal to Tu Qi Shan Yu sent an envoy to my Han to seek reconciliation is precisely because Tu Qi Dan Yu's cousin Ji Yan Qi Dan Yu committed suicide in the war with other tribes. ”

"If the Xiongnu tribes continue to fight like this, some people will inevitably be bored and advocate stability, so it is very likely to surrender to the Han."

Liu Xun listened to it for a long time and didn't speak, Gou Shen didn't know what the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty was thinking, and he was stunned, Liu Xun said: "There is a saying in the Analects of Taibo, not in his position, not in his politics, you are a small person, how can the matter of the Xiongnu be related to one county and one county?" How dare you talk about participating in politics? ”

When Gou Shen heard this, he was instantly a little petrified.

This sentence Gou Shen is too familiar, that day he went to Henan County to send a letter to Yan Yannian, Zhang Chang asked him what the root cause of the Yingshui Rebellion was, how to solve it, and he replied that he was not in his position and did not seek his own government, but now, Liu Xun said this sentence almost unchanged, interrogating him, which made Gou Shen feel how could he not be shocked.

For a while, Gou Shen's mind was a little confused, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at this elegant Han emperor, and Liu Xun also looked at him calmly - Gou Shen understood, Zhang Chang and Liu Xun said in the Xuanshu Hall that Zhang Chang had arrived in Chang'an but had not seen the emperor for a few days, and what words wishing the emperor good health were all for others to see, that is, acting.

Zhang Chang returned to Chang'an for a few days, either Zhang Chang quietly met with Emperor Liu Xun, and the two talked a lot, or although Zhang Chang did not meet Emperor Liu Xun, he reported to Liu Xun what he thought was interesting.

What does this open mean? Why did you tell the emperor what he said?

And what does this emperor mean? Why do you ask yourself what you say?

I can't complain that Zhu Bo said in the cave that Zhang Chang gave the emperor to protect himself, and he told the emperor everything about himself.

Liu Xun's question is very interesting, didn't you say that you are not in his position and do not seek his own politics, then the matter of the Huns is related to the safety of the country, you are a little waiter with no grade, but you are making a lot of nonsense in front of the emperor, are you showing off your knowledge, or do you have ulterior motives?

"But didn't you tell me about the Huns? How dare I not answer? ”

Gou Shen's heart was galloping, thundering and torrential rain, but on the surface it became more and more calm, finally, he bowed his head and kowtowed under Liu Xun's gaze, and when he got up again, his brows were slightly wrinkled together, and he said slowly: "Under His Majesty the Emperor, Gou Shen's mother remarried to Hexi County, Yingchuan County, and Gou Shen was born in less than eight months, so since he was a child, Gou Shen didn't know whether he belonged to the Gou family, or was left behind by another family, and his identity was embarrassing. ”

"Since I was a child, I have been accustomed to seeing others humiliate me, insult me, scold me, slander me, bully me, and laugh at me. Ran Gou Shen always told himself, let him, avoid him, rely on him, do his best, let him, let him, let him, why? ”

Liu Xun listened to Gou Shen's words and asked, "Why?" ”

"The road of life is long, I will go up and down and seek, dignity is never given by others, but earned by myself."

"How others talk about Gou Shen, that's someone else's business, and it's also because Gou Shen didn't reveal his own temperament, and this disposition was not recognized by everyone, so he will have an opinion on Gou Shen - and when the people around him know what kind of person Gou Shen is, Gou Shen's origin and origin are not important, and Gou Shen's past will not be talked about by everyone, and everyone will only care about me now, not the me who was said, humiliated, insulted, scolded, ruined, bullied, and laughed at in the past."
