The quarrel in the Yongning Hall continued.

Liu Che sat indifferently on his dragon chair, looking at the ministers of the two parties who were still arguing below with gloomy eyes, watching the two sides spitting stars flying, and watching them quarrel so much that they were about to fight, Liu Che's face became even more gloomy.

But he didn't do anything, just quietly watched the ministers arguing, and never said a word from beginning to end.

For Liu Che, it was a good thing that these ministers forgot themselves for a short time, a good thing that was very beneficial to him.

During the period of the ministers' quarrel, Liu Che didn't do nothing, since he entered the hall, Liu Che's brain began to run rapidly, thinking about how he should deal with it next, when those ministers were tired of arguing, or pointed the finger at himself.

Not long ago, when Liu Che was thinking about it, he gave His Royal Highness Dongfang Shuo a look, and asked Dongfang Shuo, a monkey spirit monkey spirit guy, to cooperate with him next, and strive to fight a beautiful counterattack, not to mention letting these ministers return with a feather, at least in a short period of time, so that they could not continue to play, and said something about making peace with the Huns.

Lord Dongfang easily understood Liu Che's meaning, but for the current situation, even he, the first wise man in the ages, did not have a very good idea, cough cough, knock on the blackboard to mark the key points, pay attention here, there is no too good idea, it does not mean that this wise man has no idea.

The idea of the Oriental Lord is simple.

The reason why there is a quarrel in the court today is nothing more than that the ministers of the two sides are arguing about what important national policy should be implemented against the Huns next, war, or, peace.

Dongfang Shuo felt that there was no need to talk about this issue at such a time, and as far as the matter was concerned, now should not be the time to talk about this kind of thing.

So, he spoke.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, they are all important ministers of the Han Dynasty, in front of His Majesty, quarreling and scolding the street like a shrew in the market, what kind of system, don't shut up quickly." As he spoke, Dongfang Shuo covered his nose with the sleeves of his thick official uniform, revealing a shameless expression.

But as soon as Dongfang Shuo's words were finished, a minister of the Lord and faction immediately jumped out to refute him, "Lord Dongfang, the so-called court argument has become a shrew scolding the street in your mouth, is Lord Dongfang very decent?" ”

Regarding this courtier's counterattack and ridicule, Dongfang Shuo said without blinking: "Yo, Lord Sun, this is asking me to argue with the argument, right?" Yes, of course, then why don't you have a good argument in front of Your Majesty. ”

Liu Che spoke, only to see him glaring at Dongfang Shuo and the courtier of the Lord and faction with a blue face: "My palace is not for you to quarrel, if you want to quarrel, I will go out to quarrel." ”

Dongfang Shuo and that Lord Sun didn't dare to say more, they glared at each other and then stopped, and the noisy court also quieted down at this moment.

Liu Che seized this short respite, immediately pointed at Dongfang Shuo, and said a little impatiently: "Dongfang Shuo, I just saw that you were struggling with His Highness, think about what you have to say, say it quickly." ”

Dongfang Shuo blinked a pair of small eyes, smiled and bowed to Liu Che and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Ahem," after saluting, Dongfang Shuo cleared his throat, tidied up his official uniform, and said in an orderly manner: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that today we should not talk about war or peace against the Xiongnu, but should care about the safety of the champion Hou and the 10,000 Han soldiers. ”

"Champion Hou led the army out of the Longxi fortress into Hexi to fight, more than a month has passed, during this time there has been no news, the minister thinks, should first send people into Hexi to understand the situation, after all, human life is a matter of heaven, other things have to wait until the battle of Hexi is thoroughly mastered, in this way, we can start from the overall situation, judge the situation, and then study the war and peace with the Huns, so that it is the best policy."

Dongfang Shuo smiled and spread his hands, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be too arbitrary for us to think that the champion Hou Quanjun was annihilated in Hexi based on our own conjectures?" ”

Dongfang Shuo's proposal made Liu Che's eyes light up, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't say a word, and slapped the table, "Dongfang Shuo is right, human life is a matter of heaven, how can I ignore the life and death of the champion Hou and the 10,000 soldiers, come to the people, spread my will, and order the Longxi guards to send people into Hexi to investigate the battle situation, and at the same time try their best to find the traces of the 10,000 soldiers of the champion Hou and my Han, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die." ”

As soon as Liu Che's words fell, a lord and faction, white-haired, and already in his sixties, stood up, holding a wat board in his hand, looking at Liu Che on the throne with a very yin and yang strange breath: "Your Majesty, didn't you order the guards of Longxi to go to Hexi to investigate the battle situation seven days ago?" ”

Liu Che frowned slightly, "Wang Tingwei, what do you mean by this?" Liu Che sneered, "Speaking of which, you are not in your Tingwei Mansion today to handle official business and adjudicate the case, what are you doing here?" ”

As one of the Jiuqing, Wang Lao Tingwei shook his head lightly when he heard Liu Che's words, "If even the Han is gone, how can the courtier's Tingwei Mansion have a verdict in the future?" ”

After speaking, Wang Tingwei straightened his waist and said: "Your Majesty, today's lively minister has made up his mind, and this trip to the troubled waters has also been decided, Your Majesty, the old minister begs you, for the sake of my Han people, make peace with the Huns, if the two sides continue to fight like this, sooner or later it will only be a lose." ”

"In case my Han is too damaged and causes the people to suffer unspeakably, at that time, what should I do if an uprising breaks out in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the great rivers and mountains left by this ancestor will not be so handed over to people?"

After Wang Tingwei finished speaking, the ministers of the Lord and the faction began to talk in a whisper, "Lord Wang is right, if it really comes to that time, the big man will be in danger." ”

This is the concern of the Lord and the faction.

They were worried that if it was unfavorable for the army to conquer the Xiongnu, and because of the labor expedition over the years, it would lead to domestic complaints and increase the burden on the people.

In fact, the concerns of these ministers were not unreasonable, because in Liu Che's later years, a peasant uprising broke out, and the reasons were those mentioned above.

If you think about it, don't you need money to fight a war? The country's money is not taken from the pockets of the people, the wealth accumulated by Wenjing Zhizhi has been turned into military spending, the country has no money, can only increase taxes, this is not to increase the burden of the people's lives, it happens that there are a few more natural and man-made disasters, starving to death countless people, who can not revolt?

Liu Che didn't know these truths, so he couldn't refute Wang Tingwei, sighed, and Liu Che had to change his words.

"Lord Wang, let's not argue about these things today, the most important thing we should do now is to find out the battle situation in Hexi first, Wei Qing, are you right?" At the end of his words, Liu Che looked at his general and asked him to help him.

Wei Qing, who was dressed in a pale cyan marquis suit, immediately clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please lead three thousand elite horsemen into Hexi to investigate the battle situation, no matter what, the minister will definitely bring you back from the illness!" ”

Before Liu Che could speak, Wang Tingwei couldn't help but sigh and said leisurely: "General Wei, we all know your relationship with the champion Hou, and we also know that you treat him like your own son, but with all due diligence to the old man, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into the net now with your troops into Hexi, the old man dares to guarantee that not only will you not be able to bring back the champion Hou, but you may also stay in Hexi with yourself." ”

"Besides......" Wang Tingwei sighed again, "for the sake of a corpse, can we afford to take such a risk?" ”

Wei Qing couldn't control himself and roared loudly at Wang Tingwei, "You fart!" He will never die if he gets sick, he must still be alive! ”

Wang Tingwei lightly wiped the saliva on his face, and said calmly: "General, since you have said everything to this point, then the old man should simply be a little better, do you know how many people and horses there are in Hexi, and how brave and good the four kings of Hexi are, the champion Hou only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, and since he entered Hexi, a month has passed, a whole month, do you think he still has a chance to survive?" ”

"I'm afraid that not long after the champion Hou entered Hexi, he was annihilated by the army led by the four kings of Hexi." Wang Tingwei closed his eyes, "Your Majesty, General Wei, we must learn to accept reality. ”

Hearing this voice of accepting reality, Wei Qing couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

He was afraid, he was really afraid, because what Wang Lao Tingwei said was almost the truth.

Wei Qing was afraid that his nephew would die on the battlefield so prematurely, and he was afraid that the big man would bow his head to the Huns like this.

Wei Qing's pair of tiger eyes were covered with a layer of mist, gritting his teeth, Wei Qing roared loudly almost like crazy, "No, it will be okay to get sick, he will definitely not have an accident!" ”

Dongfang Shuo, who was beside Wei Qing, hurriedly pulled Wei Qing, who was already extremely excited, and asked him to stop talking nonsense, and Liu Che, who was on the throne, also closed his eyes in pain.

Liu Che understood that Huo Qubing might have really had an accident, and he really couldn't come back......

The court was silent, and only Wei Qing's extremely unwilling sobs sounded.

Seeing this, Wang Tingwei exchanged glances with the officials of the Lord and the faction beside him, and after half a ring, Wang Tingwei took a step, held the wat board in his hand, and said loudly to Liu Che on the throne: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Han, the old minister begs you to send an envoy to negotiate peace with the Huns, after all, my Han has been defeated, and the champion Hou has also died, and we are not continuing to ........ with the Huns."

Before Wang Tingwei's words were finished, the voice that was the same as two years ago suddenly sounded from outside the main hall, and suddenly resounded throughout the entire Han Palace!

"Great victory, great victory!"

The fast horse who was sent by Huo Qubing to report the results of this trip to Liu Che finally entered the Great Han Palace and came to the outside of the Yongning Palace.

Hearing the familiar word "great victory", all the people in the hall were stunned.

A question subconsciously surfaced in everyone's minds.

Where did the big victory come from?

But before they could figure it out, the soldiers of the Han army, who were still wrapped in a thick white cloth on their left arm, had already rushed into the Yongning Palace, and knelt down on one knee and said loudly towards Liu Che, who was looking at him blankly from the high position.

"The commander of the hussar general, Wang Wu, see Your Majesty, on the order of the hussar general, bring your Majesty a report on our army's trip!"
