Liu Zhi suddenly felt a little powerless, yes, if he told others now, only thirty years later, the Han would die, it is estimated that everyone in the world will think that he is in a daze and talking nonsense.

But I don't know that the Han Empire, which looks like a powerful empire, has long been strong on the outside, glamorous on the outside, but rotten on the inside, if you don't cut off those rotten parts ruthlessly, I'm afraid the gods won't be able to save it.

Grabbing. Of course, fighting war is only one of the means, he just used this drastic way to reorganize the power structure of the Han Dynasty and inject fresh blood into this decadent and declining dynasty.

Reform of the administration of officials and rectification of land policies must be carried out in both ways, and the same cannot be left behind.

"Perhaps, my way is a little extreme, but time will tell."

At this moment, he doesn't want to explain anymore, he is the son of the Han Dynasty, and he doesn't need to explain to anyone, from now on, he would rather bear the name of the faint monarch and crush everything with power.

When she walked out of the palace, Huang Qiong's steps were staggering, and her broad back was slightly rickety, and she seemed to be ten years old in an instant.

The light rain poured down all night, and before dawn, the ministers who routinely went to the court set off in full gear.

Yin Xun squinted at the wind lamp swaying on the head of the carriage, but his eyes were extremely bright, he had been in officialdom for many years, and today he was finally about to usher in the peak moment of his life.

Fantasy Fantasy. In front of the Chongde Palace, looking at Situ Yinxun who was standing at the front, many people were very surprised in their hearts, why was the Taiwei absent today, I didn't hear that he was sick.

At this time, Liu Zhi had already come to the Zhongde Palace, and Tian Yan, the commander of the imperial guards, reported to him, "Your Majesty, the sword and axe hands are all ready for ambush." ”

Liu Zhi's face sank like water, from today onwards, he will embark on a bloody road of no return, even if he is wrong, he will be wrong to the end.

As soon as the court meeting began, everyone felt a different atmosphere, Taiwei Huang Qiong was absent, and His Majesty directly threw out his resignation.

Those who are a little more sensitive to political smell will sense that something is wrong, and it is not uncommon for the lieutenant to take the blame and resign, but why he did not go openly, there must be something strange in this.

Taiwei was dismissed, and Situ Yinxun was naturally promoted, but the question of Situ's successor was temporarily suppressed by His Majesty.

This was followed by a discussion about the floods in Jiangdong, and the relief materials from the household department of Shangshu Prefecture had been prepared and would soon arrive in Jing and Yangzhou.

But everyone knows in their hearts that for a catastrophe that affects more than a dozen counties, this bit of food is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and it will not last long.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it is said that the rain in the Jianghuai area has stopped, which makes both the government and the opposition breathe a sigh of relief.

Even so, the situation in Jingzhou and Yangzhou is not optimistic.

Immediately afterwards, things began to develop in a strange direction, the military department was still playing, and the Liangzhou Yaodang tribe raided the border, and there was a small-scale friction with Duan Cheng, the captain of Huqiang.

The current situation here is tense and could turn into a large-scale battle at any time.

The Xiqiang tribes are capricious and have to make trouble almost every year, which is not unusual.

According to the rules of previous years, a small fight, and then a little comfort after the deterrence, this matter will be calmed down.

Anyway, everyone knows that these Qiang people just want to ask for some benefits, do they dare to really rebel.

"Your Majesty, the Qiang people coerce each other with force, and this happens every year, which makes the court tired of coping, and in the long run, it will become a big disaster.

In the humble opinion of the ministers, they should be given a head-on blow, and at the same time deter the Xiqiang tribes and completely solve the hidden dangers. ”

The performance of the newly promoted Grand Lieutenant Yin Xun surprised the audience, and some people immediately stood up to express their opposition.

"Your Majesty, this move must not be done, my Han and Xiqiang have been fighting for a hundred years, and in the past ten years, there have been several major battles one after another, and it is not easy to win the current stable situation.

There are the fifth lieutenant and the state pastor, the general Huangfu and others are in charge, and the minister believes that the Qiang people do not dare to make a mistake, at most it is just a small fight, and please be cautious. ”

It was Sun Lang, the great Honglu, who stepped forward, and what he said was not unreasonable, and many ministers immediately seconded it.

Taken together, there is a central meaning, the big man, he can't afford to fight a big battle, and he can't get Xiqiang to suppress it, and he has dragged himself down.

It seems that these people know in their hearts that the current Han Empire has an empty treasury, let alone a war, and even the floods in front of them can't cope with it.

Liu Zhi has been standing still for so long, if there is a little thing that still needs to be done by him, the emperor, in person, then he still took advantage of this crazy idea to rest.

"It is precisely because my Han is now suffering from serious internal friction that I can't condone these beam-jumping clowns to do anything wrong.

Everyone said that Xiqiang would not dare to fight, but which of you can guarantee that they will defend themselves, if they cause internal and external troubles, and attack from both sides, what will my Han use to defend against the enemy at that time? ”

Jiang Qian, the secretary of the military department, sneered,-for-tat, and a battle of words began.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense, and they quarreled with each other.

Imperial historian Su Cong has been standing by and watching, and he is keenly aware that almost all the emperor's henchmen are firmly on the side of the main battle, does that mean that this matter has been instructed by the emperor.

Looking up at the Son of Heaven on the throne, through a row of jade beads, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his posture was tense and straight, which was obviously a posture of preparing to attack.

Today's court, I'm afraid it will be a ghost gate.

He originally supported conservatives, but now he realizes that the situation is not good, and wisely chooses to keep his mouth shut.

Like him, there are several people who find that the situation is not good, and all of them are old foxes who have been immersed in officialdom for more than ten years, and their insight is amazing.

The controversy gradually became smaller, and without Huang Qiong, the leader, the others were not appealing enough after all, and they could not form a strong crushing force against the main battle faction, so they could only retreat one after another.

Seeing that he couldn't convince his colleagues, Sun Lang frowned, and simply aimed the artillery at the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, if you send a word, how will this matter be decided?"

Liu Zhi hooked his lips and smiled, meaningful, "If I speak, will you support it unconditionally?" ”

Everyone was stunned, what did Your Majesty mean by this, why did it sound wrong.

The others immediately felt that something was wrong, but Sun Lang was not afraid, "The minister is loyal to the country, even if it is the Son of Heaven, if he can't think about the country, the minister will never obey." ”

"Okay, that's a good point, Sun Dahonglu is really an upright minister, I will tell you the answer now."

Liu Zhi stared at him with blazing eyes, "I have decided to attack Xiqiang, those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will die, and those who dare not submit will not be left behind!" ”

Grabbing. These words were loud and cold, which made everyone's hearts tighten, and they only felt murderous.

Since Liu Zhi ascended the throne, he has given a relatively mild impression to the courtiers, even if he overthrew Liang Ji in person, he did not kill them all.

Even when Zhao Jie rebelled last year, so many ministers in the court secretly communicated with him, and His Majesty just held it high and let it go gently.

Therefore, in their minds, Liu Zhi is by no means a decisive king, so today's cruel words are particularly creepy.

Sun Lang took a deep breath, his character is stubborn, and the nine cows that he has decided can't pull it back, His Majesty is bent on going his own way, even if the sword is coming today, he has to fight to stop it.

"For the Han, for the world, the ministers will not regret their deaths, if Your Majesty insists on going to war, please take the heads of the ministers to sacrifice the flag."

Don't you think he won't dare to kill this donkey? He just admired his patriotic heart, and did not hesitate to die for the justice in his heart.

"Humph! Whoever else is willing to sacrifice the flag, stand up for me, and let you and others seek mercy today. ”

With his words, Tian Yan, the commander of the Imperial Front, led a team of heavily armed armor soldiers and rushed in with a fierce momentum, the halberd in his hand glowing with a cold glow.

At this moment, everyone finally understood that everything today was premeditated, and at this time, Cao Teng, the captain of Si Li, stepped into the hall from outside.

"In accordance with His Majesty's order, all the 6,000 armor soldiers in Gyeonggi have been put in place, but His Majesty's orders are obeyed!"

Three years ago, the general Liang Ji soldiers came to the Chongde Hall to force the Manchu civil and military to submit, and now history repeats itself, this scene seems familiar, but it is so ironic.

There was a dead silence in the main hall suddenly, and the courtiers who were still foaming at the mouth just now all changed their faces drastically at this time, and they lowered their heads deeply.

"Hahaha...... On that day, Taiwei Li was indeed not mistaken, once His Majesty gained power, he acted recklessly and acted stupidly. ”

Sun Lang looked up to the sky and smiled, it seemed that he knew that he would die today, so he simply tore his face.

Stretched out his hand and ripped off the crown on his head, and slammed it on the ground, "Faint King, come on, hang the head of the minister above the city gate, and see how you will defeat this great river and mountain in the other day." ”

Liu Zhi couldn't help but sigh secretly, if he beheaded a loyal minister like Sun Lang today, it would definitely chill the hearts of many upright people.

But if you don't kill it, you can't suppress these half-hearted courtiers, thinking of this, he sneered.

"You want to die, but I don't like it, come here, a hundred court staffs, drive out of the Jingshi, and exile the whole clan to Qiuzi."

For a scholar, this result is no different from death, and the ministers were suddenly silent, and no one dared to come forward to intercede for him, for fear that they would also suffer from the pond fish.

Tingwei Mu Qian was a spineless person, and he also joined the anti-war theory just now, but he didn't dare to come out at this time, so he hurriedly took the order.

Listening to the "crackling" sound of the court staff execution coming from outside the hall, the sound was crisp in the ears, as if it was slapped on the faces of the courtiers, but at this moment they could not afford any resistance except for fear.

"Now, you can discuss how to send troops to Liangzhou and take Xiqiang directly."

Everyone looked at each other, God knows how to fight, whether they want money or not, whether they want food or not, and they don't know what His Majesty is crazy about.

However, no one dared to say this now, unless they wanted to follow in Sun Lang's footsteps.

"The minister has a plan to recruit homeless displaced people from the disaster areas of Jingzhou and Yangzhou to attack the Yaodang tribe.

In this way, the relief food can be used as military food first, and later it can be replenished from the captured Qiang materials. ”

It was Yuan Xuan who spoke, as Shang Shuling, one of the emperor's most trusted courtiers, and now was the time to show his loyalty.

As soon as he said this, many people suddenly realized, no wonder His Majesty had to fight this battle, and he was worried that the displaced people in the disaster area would make trouble, so he came up with this clever plan.

Last year's severe drought in Qingzhou and other places displaced millions of people, similar to the situation in Jiangdong today.

After the catastrophe, there will be chaos, who can guarantee that the next Gongsun Ju will not stand up, not to mention the fierce customs of the people in the Jianghuai area.

A riot of more than 30,000 people broke out just a dozen years ago, and it was also huge at that time, lasting for several years, seriously weakening the people's livelihood in Yangzhou and other places, and it has not been relieved to this day.

If the victims cannot be properly resettled, the consequences will be unimaginable, but the current imperial court is really unable to afford the livelihood of so many people.

Recruiting them to fight is a desperate move, but it may be a solution.

"Your Majesty, the Yaodang tribe is one of the largest tribes in Xiqiang, and only one branch of it has been submitted to the imperial court, and the rest have always been disobedient to the king.

Since it was decided to use troops, the minister thought that it would be better to simply take it in one fell swoop and reintegrate the meandering area into the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

Cao Teng's words made everyone even more stunned, it turned out that His Majesty not only wanted to suppress the rebellious Qiang tribe, but also wanted to expand the territory, which ...... It's too unrealistic.

Someone almost rushed out "It's not appropriate", but looking at the armor soldiers on both sides of the main hall, they closed their mouths with interest.

Let's fight, just fight, the Qiang people in the meandering area are wild and untamable, and it won't be long before Your Majesty will understand how stupid this decision is.

"Very good, immediately send a decree to plant Hu, let him step up his preparations for war, and not let the Qiang people take a step beyond the thunder pool. The Western Regions Protectorate is also prepared to prevent the Northern Xiongnu from taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Bingzhou and Youzhou will be on the border from now on, don't let the Xianbei people fish in troubled waters.

Also, let Yizhou Mu put the southwest barbarians in prison, especially the Baimaqiang tribe, once there is any change, they can make their own decisions. ”

A series of orders made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but His Majesty had not yet fainted and started a full-scale war, and knew that he had to prevent the Hu clan from taking the opportunity to riot.

巘戅书仓网戅。 "If Your Majesty must fight, the minister suggests that he immediately send an envoy to Xianbei to negotiate peace with them temporarily, so as not to be taken by the Qiang people."

Sikong Yuan Tang, who had never opened his mouth, also said in a deep voice, his concerns were not unreasonable, after all, Wuhuan and the Qiang tribe had jointly attacked the Han before.

Now it is indeed the best policy to take the lead in stabilizing the Xianbei people, and with the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to prevent the two fronts from fighting at the same time.

Liu Zhi nodded appreciatively, "Zhun Song, the imperial court will send an envoy to Liaoxi today, and the Liao general Huangfu Gui will contact the Xianbei departments first." ”

The border line of the Han Dynasty is too long, and the Xianbei tribes occupy the entire northern border, since five or six years ago, the Wuhuan tribe attacked Youzhou and returned defeated, and it has been much more honest in the past two years.

So at this time, taking the initiative to negotiate peace with them should have a good effect, of course, in Liu Zhi's plan, he planned to break each one, but now it is just to temporarily stabilize the other party.

You must know that the location of the Xianbei tribes is the three eastern provinces and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia in later generations, where the land is fertile and abundant, but the land is vast and sparsely populated.

If it can be successfully defeated and the displaced people in the Guannai can be relocated to the famine, at least millions of people can be settled, how not to make him greedy.
