For several days in a row, the Xuanshu Hall like a vegetable market has finally changed, and it is rare to be quiet in the hall, and everyone's eyes are on Cheng Mo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cheng Mo said: "Since Gaozu to the present, my dynasty has been harassed by the Huns. Every winter, when many of their cattle and sheep freeze to death, they plunder the property of our people and invade our frontiers in the name of grazing grass and grain. I married many princesses to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the beautiful name is harmony, but everyone knows that the number of Xiongnu invasions has not decreased because of harmony, but because of the retreat of the dynasty, there is a tendency to become more and more arrogant.

Emperor Wu used the strength of the whole country to defeat the spirit of the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to despise our dynasty anymore. This time, the Xiongnu asked Wusun to hand over Princess Xie Wu, wouldn't they also ignore the existence of our Celestial Empire? ”

The emperor married a princess, hoping to ease the relationship between Wu and Hungary. In fact, the relationship plays very little role, just imagine, what can the concubine intervene in the court? But even so, since Gaozu to the present, the emperors of the past dynasties have continued one after another, or sent the princess to the princess, or used the daughter of the clan to kiss, and the most unfortunate one was to give the palace maid the title of a princess, and sent it to the princess, which also represents the face of the court.

In the face of natural disasters, when the herdsmen are about to starve to death and the tribe is about to perish, a woman is really not enough to see, she will still rob what she should rob, how can she be polite to her husband?

Cheng Mo paused when he said this, and Le Yuan hurriedly said: "Harmony is a national policy set by Gaozu, and how many princesses in the past dynasties have sacrificed for the country and contributed to maintaining the harmony between the two countries. ”

He was familiar with the history of this dynasty and was waiting for an example, Cheng Mo smiled slightly, and said: "If you want to say what Lord Le said, do you want to make peace with the Huns again and send another princess over?" I heard that the eldest granddaughter of Lord Le is thirteen years old this year, and she has not yet allowed anyone, so why don't you ask Your Majesty to be named a princess and pro-Huns, how about it? ”

As soon as his joking words came out, the ministers looked at each other, didn't they say that they were going to send troops to attack the Huns? Why do you want to be friendly again? The Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Yanjiao clearly coveted the beauty of the princess, if the Wu Dynasty bowed his head, Baba sent a beauty...... When many people think of this, they suddenly feel angry in their chests, and there is nothing more than this to deceive others.

Before Le Yuan could speak, there was already a person in the ranks of generals who said in a loud voice: "The minister is willing to lead an army and fight to the death with the Huns." ”

Damn, send the beauty to the Huns, and the face is lost to grandma's house, if that's the case, what do you want these generals to do?

It was Jin Anhou who spoke. He was a military general because of his ancestors with military merits, so he was a military general, although he had never been on the battlefield in these years, but he was familiar with reading military books since he was a child, practicing martial arts and riding and archery, and his skills were still very good. There has been no war in the court these years, he had to live in the capital, these days the court discussion, he is the most fierce, one of the generals who want to fight.

He was one of the first princes to express his stance to follow Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo advocated sending troops, which was exactly what he wanted. What's more, since ancient times, Wenchen has been afraid of death, military generals like to fight, and there is a war, that is an opportunity, maybe you can get a national prince.

Le Yuan saw that someone was relieved of the siege for him, and he was grateful, and just threw a grateful glance at the place where the voice came from, and saw the person who asked for it, his face darkened, Jin Anhou can be said to be one of Cheng Mo's diehards, how could he not know him?

Cheng Mo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister has not finished speaking, and the Marquis of Jin Anhou will ask for battle, it seems that the next words, the minister does not need to say anything." ”

Liu Xun didn't want to fight, but he was worried that he would not be able to bear the consequences of defeat. He glanced at Cheng Mo and said, "Can the ministers agree with what the prime minister said?" ”

There are still some people who oppose it, the draft has already been completed, the so-called labor and loss of money, the so-called even a great monarch like Emperor Wu has exhausted the national strength, the so-called national strength is not as good as the rule of Wenjing, and it is necessary to save a few more years of family funds before going to war, and so on. But Cheng Mo opened his mouth and asked Le Yuan to send his granddaughter and relatives, blocking all the words of these people.

You say don't fight, then okay, send your daughter and granddaughter to kiss. What, no daughter granddaughter? Send your wife to go, anyway, the Huns don't have a virgin complex, they don't care about a woman marrying again. With Cheng Mo's shamelessness, what else can't be said?

Thinking about his wife and daughter, the courtiers who opposed it all shut up knowingly, and when Liu asked, the ministers said in unison: "The ministers agree with what the prime minister discusses." ”

Liu Xun was depressed, why was he so neat? He glanced at Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo said: "Your Majesty, the war between the two countries is an unusual thing, and since it has been decided to send troops, it must be carefully planned. ”

Don't worry, I'll untie your knot.

Liu Xun understood his voice, and said: "Since all the secretaries think it's good to send troops, then let's prepare for war." Wu Qing, the treasury may support preparations for war, how many silver taels are there? ”

In the past few days, everyone has turned out the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Huns and scolded them all over again, only Wu Yuan is immersed in work, fighting is not a family, food, weapons, horses, which one does not need money? Wu Yuan had expected Liu Xun to ask such a question, and immediately bowed down to report a string of numbers. How much silver and grain are in the national stockpile, and how much does it cost to send 100,000 troops......

This is the budget, Cheng Mo knew that Wu Yuan was very qualified as the financial director, but he didn't think that he was so good, he couldn't help but be impressed by him, no wonder Huo Xian just gave a waist card, Liu Xun didn't give up, Wu Yuan ran around for Zhang Mian, but there was nothing, and the ability of others was here.

Liu Xun listened and nodded continuously.

After retreating, Cheng Mo went to the east hall, and after seeing the ceremony, Liu Xun sat down and said, "Big brother, do you want to persuade me?" No, as long as this war can be ended within a year, the treasury will be able to afford it. ”

The family wealth accumulated by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing was wiped out by Emperor Wu's 30-year war, and the people were not clothed and fed, and they fought for years and years, the population decreased sharply, and the productivity was low. After more than 20 years of recuperation, farmland has been cultivated, wasteland has been reclaimed, and the people's lives have gradually improved.

Numbers are the best persuasion, Wu Yuan reported the account, and Liu Xun's hanging heart returned to its place.

As long as the people have food to eat, he, the emperor, can sit firmly on the dragon chair, and he understands this truth.

Cheng Mo understood his thoughts, and said with a smile: "It seems that Wu Sinong's words are not in vain." ”

Liu Xun also smiled and said, "Ask Wu Yuan early, I don't have to eat well or sleep well these days." ”

The two glanced at each other and laughed loudly at the same time, since they had made up their minds, their hearts were much more relaxed, as for how to fight this battle, that was another matter.

Liu inquired: "According to the eldest brother, who will be the main general?" ”

The Marquis of Jin An asked for war, but Liu Xun felt that he had achieved nothing in Beijing for many years, and he was not at ease to hand over the army to him. This is also the impression of Jin Anhou's mixed life, which is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Cheng Mo asked rhetorically: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

This is not the early dynasty, but the two of them are talking in private, Liu Xun didn't hold it, but shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

This was his first battle after taking the throne, and this battle could only be won, not lost.
