Liu Che walked out of Changle Palace, his mind was full of his mother's melancholy eyes, and suddenly his sister Princess Nangong sobbed and walked towards a carriage, and then was helped into the carriage, and under the protection of many guards, the carriage started, Princess Nangong poked her head out of the window and waved her hand behind the car, signaling a child chasing the carriage to stop, no need to chase, at this time Liu Che couldn't help shouting: "Sister, don't leave me." ”

"Your Majesty, what are your orders? The confessor beside Liu Che hurriedly hugged Liu Che and said.

At this time, Liu Che woke up from the hallucination, nearly thirty years ago the scene of his sister marrying the Huns appeared in front of his eyes again, how helpless and hesitant he was at that time, how much he hoped that his father could issue an order not to let his sister marry the Huns Da Danyu, but how naïve and ridiculous his thoughts were at the time, everything did not change according to his own will, and now he still has a lot of thoughts in retrospect, Liu Che looked up again, and there was really a carriage moving forward in the distance of his vision, Liu Che commanded loudly: " Stop the carriage in front. ”

"No. ”

The carriage was quickly stopped by the guards, Liu Che stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and saw an old lady sitting in the car, and the messenger shouted loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, the emperor has arrived, don't get out of the car and kowtow." ”

I saw that the old lady in the car hurriedly got out of the car and knelt down with the people around the car and kowtowed to Liu Che and said, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

Liu Che hurriedly picked up the old lady and said, "Old sister doesn't have to be polite, this carriage reminds me of the past decades ago, thank you old sister for being able to appear at this time." ”

"The small people have blocked the holy drive, please forgive the emperor. ”

Liu Che ordered loudly: "Open the way ahead and send the old lady forward." ”

"No. ”

The old lady couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while, so she knelt down again and kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you Emperor Longen." ”

Liu Che picked up the old lady and helped her into the carriage, commanded, the carriage started, the old lady's vehicle slowly moved away under the escort of several guards, no one below could understand why Liu Che did this, but who knows Liu Che's mood at this time, who can understand his broken mood when he cried when he cried and chased his sister to marry the Huns, the old lady's carriage aroused Liu Che's memories of the past, and made him think that it was his unshirkable responsibility to defeat the Huns, otherwise the tragedy of his childhood would continue to be staged, and then there would be countless princes who were in pain and helpless because of this, thinking of this Liu Che commanded: "When I return to the palace, I immediately summoned Wei Qingxuan's palace to see me. ”

"No. ”

Wei Qing was convening a meeting of several generals at the training ground, conveying to them the order to step up training, to ensure that the normally trained men and horses become the main force in the next war, and to ensure that they can be pulled to the battlefield at any time. ”

"No. Wei Qing hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply.

The confessor did not forget to urge: "Master Hou will follow me into the palace, the emperor is in a hurry to summon you." ”

"Okay, please. ”

Wei Qing simply explained the task of the training team to the generals, and then followed the confessor out of the training ground, riding the war horse and feeling very confused, the emperor had only a meeting with everyone in the morning, why is he so eager to summon himself now, is there any new emergency.

Walking into the Xuanshu Palace, Wei Qing saw Liu Che sitting in the back of several cases and carefully watching the sand table map on several cases, Wei Qing said softly: "Long live the emperor, the minister Wei Qing pays a visit to the emperor." ”

Liu Che raised his head about this, took a deep breath and said, "Oh, Zhong Qing, come and sit." ”

Wei Qing didn't understand, so he didn't move the place.

"Oh, now you and I, the monarch and the minister, don't have to see outside, come and study the maps on these cases with me. ”

Only then did Wei Qing understand what Liu Che meant, so he stepped forward and sat on his knees in the corner of several cases and said, "The minister is rude." ”

"What is rude, the Huns don't reason with us, look at Yanmen County, last time thanks to the pass of this place, blocked the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Huns, otherwise how could the newly appointed Yizhi Xian Dadan Yu give up. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. ”

"But the people in the north of Yanmen, the pass, have suffered, their wives have been separated, their families have been ruined, and they will not feel pain if such a tragedy does not happen, but I can feel it, so I asked the Han army to kill them, burn the war to the territory of the Huns, and drive the Huns out of the northern grasslands as the last time they captured Henan. ”

Wei Qing said categorically: "As long as Your Majesty gives an order, the soldiers will be crushed to pieces, and the Huns will be driven out of the northern steppe." ”

"Okay, let Zhong Qing lead the troops to rest assured, the threat of sweeping away the Huns must be achieved step by step, come and see, if Zhong Qing is allowed to send troops now, where should the Huns be attacked?"

Wei Qing casually took a few markers and inserted them into different areas and said: " Your Majesty, now the Xiongnu Yi Zhixin won the big single Yu, and defeated the opponent Yu Dan, morale is flourishing, the minister thinks that for a period of time should not be with their royal tribe hard confrontation, we can first remove its flank right Xian Wang Department, although the right Xian Wang has not been attacked by us too much, but today compared to today, it is the easiest tribe to get rid of, if it succeeds, it will definitely be more intimidating to the hearts of all the Huns, their successive failures will make their sharp spirit one after another frustrated, morale is low to a certain stage, even the best generals will not help. ”

"Okay, what Zhong Qing said is reasonable, the next step is to concentrate on defeating the Right Virtuous King, how many men does Zhong Qing need to complete this task. ”

Wei Qing thought for a while and said: "The minister has already studied it, the garrison of the Right Xian King is only 50,000, if he can surprise the Right Xian Wang's department, it is enough to drop 30,000 elite soldiers." ”

"Well, okay, now Zhong Qing can go back to select elite soldiers, all the generals and soldiers you like, I will follow them, and then start to enter the training camp, I'm afraid I will give the order to go out in a month." ”

"No, the Lord's Decree. ”

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and when Liu Che was about to give an order to let Wei Qing go on the expedition as planned, a messenger ran into the hall crying and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has collapsed." ”

Liu Che's eyes straightened when he heard this, his head was dizzy, and his body that had been sitting upright was also paralyzed, these expressions returned to normal after a moment, he stood up and hurriedly ran out of the hall without saying a word, and trotted all the way to Changle Palace. ”

Liu Che didn't seem to hear anything, and ran forward with all his own thoughts, and the messenger could only say to the guards on both sides of the road: "Prepare horses for Your Majesty." ”

A soldier hurriedly led the horse to chase Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty, you can go by horse, don't get tired of the dragon body." ”

Liu Che pulled the reins of the horse and got on the horse, galloped away, and the guards and confessors also hurriedly looked for the horse's fart and chased away, like the wind to the Changle Palace, Liu Che saw his mother Wang Wan lying peacefully on the bed in the Longevity Palace, and cried loudly: "The queen mother walks slowly, the queen mother walks slowly." ”

The confessor also cried and supported Liu Che on the side, and kept comforting: "Your Majesty, please cherish the dragon body." ”

Liu Che's crying can no longer wake up his mother Wang Huan, this smart woman has completed her magnificent and legendary life, her legend has continued to her son Liu Che, Liu Che does not know that he can have today's status and the queen mother is inseparable, looking at his mother as if she was asleep, she slowly stopped crying and announced: "The whole country is mourned, see off the queen mother, and be buried with my father in Yangling." ”

"No. Under Liu Che's order, everyone was busy, and Wang Wan was buried in the Yangling Mausoleum where Liu Qi was located in such a beautiful manner, blooming her last glory, and the wheels of the Han Dynasty were still rolling forward without stopping.

After this incident, Liu Che once again wanted to put the conquest of the Xiongnu on the agenda, so he said loudly: "The Xiongnu in the northern border pass are constantly harassed, and the last time Yi Zhi slanted the invasion and killed my county guard, plundered my property, and killed my Han people, this revenge must be avenged, and the prime minister has any opinions." ”

Xue Ze already knew Liu Che's intentions, and the last time he discussed such a major matter, he had already set the main tone, and if anyone objected to it, there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat, so he thought about it for a while: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but in view of the short time of the Empress Dowager's death, according to the ancestral system of the Great Han Dynasty, it is still rare to see a sword in a year." ”

"Well," Liu Che asked without objecting, "What is the opinion of Gongsun Aiqing, the Imperial Historian?" ”

Gongsun Hong is how good he will adapt to the opportunity, so he seized this main tone and said: "Your Majesty, the Huns should be beaten, this is a well-known thing in the world, but the treasury has not been relieved much recently, one is the huge investment of Shuofang, and the other is the continuous development of the southwest Yi, which has spent most of the treasury's money, and the minister thinks that it is better to wait for a year before discussing it, the old minister is dizzy, and please forgive Your Majesty for some inappropriateness." ”

Liu Che thought for a long time and said: "Yes, what Aiqing said makes sense, since Sima Xiangru was dismissed last time, the development progress of Southwest Yi has been slow, and today Gongsun Aiqing mentioned this matter, I will stop developing Southwest Yi, what do you think?"

"It would be great if this was the case, and the subjects of the Han Dynasty would be blessed with endless longevity. Xue Ze took over and said.

"My Emperor Shengming. Most of the ministers chimed in.

"Okay, then stop the development of the southwest Yi, let the southwest counties do a good job of development and sweep up the work, calm the mind, and be the parents of the people in the southwest. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

"The affairs of the northern frontier will be discussed after the Queen Mother's mourning period expires. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

Then Liu Che took out a copy of the board and said: "The prime minister can take a look at the contents of this board, and then send someone to verify it and report it to me." ”

Xue Ze took a cursory look, the content of the book is the matter of Liang State, Liang King Liu Xiang and his grandmother fought for the wine bottle, so he was also angry with Liang Wang's grandmother Empress Dowager Li, this is a big unfilial piety, Xue Ze immediately replied: "The Prime Minister of Liang State has not reported this matter, and the minister immediately sent someone to Liang State to investigate the details of this matter." ”

"Okay, this matter will be investigated as soon as possible, no matter how big the official position is and how close the relationship is with me, as long as it violates the Han law and the ancestral system, it must be strictly investigated. ”

"No. ”
