In the back garden of the Han Palace.

Liu Che and Wei Zifu walked side by side in this garden full of birds and flowers.

The silence along the way made Liu Che's pair of tiger eyebrows frown from beginning to end, and with his hands behind his back, Liu Che gently glanced at Wei Zifu, who was restless beside him, and looked at Wei Zifu's appearance of six gods and no owner, Liu Che couldn't help but sigh and said: "Don't think about it, if you go to the sick Ji people, you will have your own natural appearance, and you will be fine." ”

Hearing Liu Che's reassurance, a teardrop flowed out of the corner of Wei Zifu's eyes very well, and he stretched out his jade hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, Wei Zifu said in a low voice: "Thank you Your Majesty for appeasing, the concubine knows." ”

Seeing this, Liu Che shook his head and continued to walk on the bluestone slab in the garden.

After walking for a while, Liu Che stopped his steps, looking up at the dazzling scorching sun above the palace, Liu Che squinted his eyes, his expression was quite calm, but his tone was heavy, and he muttered softly, "Count the days, it's been a month since you left the Longxi Fortress, and it's time to report the battle to me, go sick, how are you." ”

Wei Zifu walked to Liu Che's side, stretched out his hand and gently tugged on the sleeve of Liu Che's black dragon robe, showing the posture of a little woman, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's been so long, and the concubine is really worried about the safety of going to the sick, have you sent someone to Hexi to investigate the situation, how is the illness now?" ”

Liu Che said in a deep voice, "Seven days ago, I ordered the Longxi guards to send people to Hexi to check the battle, but there has been no news back so far, it may be ....... Maybe it's going to be soon, we'll have to wait a little longer. ”

Just as Liu Che was talking to Wei Zifu, a little eunuch came to the back garden with a hunched waist and small steps, and it was clear from his hurried steps that something had happened.

However, he did not step forward to report what happened directly to Liu Che, but came to the father-in-law of Xiaoshunzi behind Liu Che and whispered to the father-in-law of Xiaoshunzi who had just happened.

After listening to the little eunuch's proclamation, Xiao Shunzi frowned, waved his hand to let him retreat, and after the little eunuch left, Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law bowed his head very respectfully and bent down behind Liu Che, and whispered a word in Liu Che's ear.

"Your Majesty, your lordships are waiting for you in the Yongning Hall at this moment."

When Liu Che heard this, he frowned uncontrollably, "Who are they?" ”

Xiao Shunzi said fairly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, in addition to Prime Minister Dong Cheng and Lord Dongfang, the "several" adults in Jiuqing are also here, and the ministers who jointly wrote to you to ask for peace talks with the Xiongnu are basically all here, by the way, and General Wei, now they are all waiting for you in Yongning Palace." ”

"Wei Qing is here too?"

Father-in-law Xiaoshunzi nodded.

Liu Che covered his head when he heard this, and said with a headache: "It seems that they are trying to put pressure on me, this Wei Qing and Dongfang Shuo are quite discerning, alas, no matter what, I will go to meet them, anyway, if I don't talk about it today, tomorrow the day after tomorrow, they will always have to find out everything in the court." ”

"Spread the decree and set up the Yongning Palace." After the words fell, Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu beside him, and said softly: "Concubine Ai, go back to the palace first, and supervise the homework of the child by the way." ”

Wei Zifu took the two palace maids behind him and bowed to Liu Che.

"No."

........

Inside the Yongning Palace

A total of more than 30 important ministers of the Han Dynasty came here and asked to see Liu Che.

Among the more than 30 ministers, five from Jiuqing came, and there were more than 30 senior officials.

At this moment, before Liu Che came, the ministers in the palace had already taken the lead in arguing, and the content of the quarrel was easy to guess, it was nothing more than about peace talks with the Xiongnu.

The five Jiuqing officials who came here were all the best candidates to support the peace talks, and there were also 20 high-ranking officials by their side, and these people were all people from the main peace faction.

And the other faction...... Let's talk about Dong Zhongshu and Dongfang Shuo first, they didn't participate in the quarrel just now, the two have been standing in the corner of the main hall, silently watching the form, as expected, they are the people of the main battle faction, or the courtiers who advocate the complete elimination of the Huns.

They and the ministers of the peace talks faction can be described in one sentence.

The tip of the needle is on the wheat mang.

But at this juncture, the two old fritters did not spit on the ministers of the Lord and the faction, and they were not guilty of arguing with them, not only because they disdain, but also because of ...... Huo Qubing has not received any news so far, which is very unfavorable for the courtiers of the main battle faction.

Otherwise, how could only Dongfang Shuo and Dong Zhongshu, the two ministers of the main battle faction, come to see Liu Che today?

That's right, only two courtiers who really advocated the use of troops against the Xiongnu came today, and the rest did not come.

And who are the dozen or so high-ranking officials who are now arguing with the ministers of the Lord and the faction? In fact, they are not the main peace faction, nor are they the main war faction, so why do they come here to quarrel with the ministers of the main peace faction? And strongly support another war with the Huns?

The reason is very simple, these people are just here to strengthen Wei Qing and speak for Wei Qing.

Of the dozen or so courtiers who were arguing with the ministers of the Lord and the faction, three were also surnamed Wei, and the others were ..... are also the henchmen of the so-called Weishi Group.

They came here today completely for Wei's family, and to put it chillingly, Huo Quzhi, a young general who fought bloodily at the border, has nothing to do with the purpose of their trip.

In the hearts of the ministers of the Wei Group, it doesn't matter whether Huo Qubing is dead or alive, defeated or won, in other words, Huo Qubing is sick or not, whether he lives or not, and it does not hurt their overall situation at all, and the current Huo Qubing has no weight in their hearts.

And in the minds of these ministers of the Wei Group, Huo Qu's illness ....... has long been labeled as defeated and killed.

That's why they came to see Liu Che today and quarreled with the ministers of the Lord and the faction.

It doesn't matter if Huo Qu dies of illness or is defeated, but this battle must be fought.

Thanks to Wei Qing, the Wei group has many cronies in the Han army, in order to allow the general Wei Qing to go further, in order to allow the Wei members in the army to go up a few more steps, for the future development of the Wei family, this war must also be fought.

The people of the country are none of their business, and the prestige of the Han Dynasty is not their business, they only care about their own future, only about their backer Wei Qing, whether they can become a towering tree in the Han Dynasty that will never fall, and only care about whether the crown prince Liu Zhi can ascend the throne after Liu Che a hundred years later, and whether they can get what they want after the prince succeeds to the throne.

In a way, these courtiers of the Wei clan are even more hateful than the ministers of the Lord and the faction.

In any case, the courtiers of the Lord and the faction still think from the perspective of the people of the country that they should not continue to fight with the Huns, but the courtiers of the Wei group only have themselves in their hearts.

What is the value of this kind of person's existence?

How many of these people occupy in the Han court?

........

At present, these more than 30 ministers are arguing in the main hall, he said that he is reasonable, he says that he is also reasonable, and the two sides have stated in detail the advantages of peace talks, as well as the advantages of continuing to fight, during this period, a certain minister of the Lord and faction was too excited to argue with the courtiers of the Wei group, and he actually came to such a sentence like crazy.

"Fight, fight, fight, know to fight, don't you reckless men see the consequences of continuing to fight with the Huns? Champion Hou led 10,000 iron cavalry to annihilate Hexi, what a heavy loss this caused to our Han Dynasty, we should ......."

The official's next words were not able to be spoken, because the furious Wei Qing threw him into the air with one hand, and scolded, "You fart!" ”

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Just as Wei Qing raised his fist, intending to teach this foul-mouthed courtier a hard lesson, the shrill voice of Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law resounded outside the Yongning Palace.

Hearing that Liu Che had arrived, Wei Qing glared fiercely at the courtier, who was already frightened by him in mid-air, and was about to pee his pants, and then threw him to the ground like garbage.

But even if he scares the courtier fiercely, the anger on Wei Qing's face still hasn't disappeared, just because the courtier has touched a piece of the scale in his heart.

Huo Qubing has not been able to send news for a month, not only Liu Che and Wei Zifu are worried about Huo Quai's safety, Wei Qing is not the case, it can even be said that he is the one who cares about Huo Qubing the most.

Because of Huo Qu's illness, he hasn't slept well for a few days and nights, and he can't sleep, he tosses and turns every time he lies on the bed, and all he thinks about is Huo Qu's safety.

Today, he didn't want to come, but he couldn't help but come, because he was worried that those ministers of the Lord and the faction would blatantly say in front of Liu Che's eyes that Huo Qu's army was defeated, or ...... It's a matter of dying in battle.

This is something Wei Qing can't tolerate, as Huo Quai's uncle, he doesn't defend him at this time, so how long will he wait?

Can...... Even the current Wei Qing doesn't have the slightest confidence in Huo Quai, a big victory? He didn't think about these two words anymore, he just hoped that Huo Qubing could return to Dahan safe and sound, and that was enough.

Huo Quzhi has a good uncle, and Wei Qing has almost done what an uncle should do, or even more.

But as it turns out, Huo Qubing never disappointed.

........

With the father-in-law of Xiaoshunzi behind him, Liu Chelong walked into the Yongning Hall where he was arguing, and when the ministers saw his arrival, they all stopped arguing, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "See Your Majesty." ”

Liu Che glanced at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

After speaking, Liu Che walked towards the high position that only belonged to him in the Yongning Palace, but at this time, before Liu Che could reach the high position, five courtiers stood up in a row among the courtiers of the lord and faction, holding the wat board in their hands, and serving the country with a loyal face, exerting multiple pressures on Liu Che in a row.

"Your Majesty, I have been fighting with the Huns for several years, both sides have suffered heavy losses, and the national strength of my Han has dropped by more than one notch.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Liu said is extremely true, there is no need to continue this battle, otherwise it will only be a waste of money and food in the end, and the labor will be fruitless."

"Your Majesty, please stop, the Huns have experienced the power of my Han over the years, there is really no need to continue the war with them, please Your Majesty for the sake of the Han people, and stop the war with the Huns."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

In the end, more than 20 lords and ministers bowed down to Liu Che, who was in place at the same time, with his back to everyone, and said, "The ministers and others are all seconded!" ”

Liu Che, who was facing away from the ministers, clenched his fists fiercely.
