?

The deputy envoy of the Huns knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and didn't even dare to look up at Xiang Ye.

Xiang Ye didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore when he saw his wretched appearance, waved his hand and said to the 'female' guards: "Take him down, cut off his two ears, and then let him go!" ”

The 'female' guard who escorted the deputy envoy of the Huns answered, dragged him up and walked out of the main hall.

"The king spares his life!" The deputy envoy of the Huns was dragged by the 'female' guards, struggling to crawl beside Xiang Ye, but how did he know that the two 'female' people who dragged him were strictly trained warriors, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of any male soldier, and they were finally dragged out like a dead dog.

"Li Xinpeng listens to the order!" After the Xiongnu deputy envoy was dragged out, Xiang Ye shouted to Li Xinpeng, who was sitting in the palace: "You immediately lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to the border between our country and the Xiongnu, pay close attention to the dynamics of the Xiongnu, and if they dare to invade our border, immediately counterattack." Except for victory or defeat, all other military actions are at your own discretion, and you don't need to report to me! ”

Li Xinpeng hurriedly went out of class and stood in the middle of the hall, clasping his hands into fists in response.

After arranging the task for Li Xinpeng, Xiang Ye shouted to Wei Feng and Bai Fu: "Wei Feng and Bai Fu, you two led the Shen 'Shooting' Battalion and the Tianji Battalion respectively to assist Li Xinpeng, and I 'handed over' the entire border to you, I hope you don't let me down!" ”

After the three of them received the order, Shi Lei, who had never been called, looked at Xiang Ye with blank eyes, full of hope that Xiang Ye could also let him go on the expedition.

Xiang Ye looked at Shi Lei, frowned, and then said: "Shi Lei, your task is to strengthen the training of your Wuwei battalion, I need to see you come up with an army capable of fighting within half a month, not a group of wastes who can only consume grain and grass and be slaughtered by the enemy on the battlefield!" ”

When Xiang Ye said this, Shi Lei hurriedly lowered his head. Xiang Ye was right, since the establishment of his Wuwei battalion, it is indeed not much combat effectiveness.

The soldiers of the Wuwei battalion were all unwanted by others, and in the end, he picked them all up like rags. Conscription is convenient, but the training makes Shi Lei two big.

These soldiers are not ordinary stupid, and many have been taught many times and do not know how to hold a spear. Shi Lei was full of depression when he saw them, how could the family rest assured that they would be soldiers like this?

Xiang Ye glared at Shi Lei, who was standing on the hall with his hands clasped into fists like a wood carving, and sighed before saying, "I know, I can't blame you for the Wuwei Battalion's lack of combat effectiveness, those soldiers of yours are indeed stupid." But stupid soldiers also have stupid methods, actual combat, you know? Actual combat exercises are more effective than any training, and I don't believe that those soldiers who take you with the method of actual combat exercises can be so stupid that they don't know what to do when they actually get to the battlefield! ”

"Yes!" After listening to Xiang Ye's words, Shi Lei's eyes lit up, and he responded loudly: "The king is wise!" ”

After reprimanding Shi Lei, Xiang Ye said to Jing Ao, who was standing at the outermost point of the main hall with the hilt of his sword: "Jing Ao, if I guess correctly, if Mao Dun sends troops, he will definitely find a way to bypass the defensive line set up by Li Xinpeng and attack our capital directly." In case the border doesn't stop them, the security of Jiuyuan City will be 'handed over' to you! ”

After Xiang Ye gave an order to several generals, Wu Wei stood up and walked to the middle of the main hall and said to Xiang Ye: "King Qiqi, tomorrow is an auspicious day, and it is appropriate to change the name of the country." ”

"Good!" Xiang Ye stood up straight and said to Wu Wei: "Tomorrow morning, we will change the country name and make a big gift!" ”

The ministers in the palace were taken aback when they heard that the two of them were going to change the name of the country, and many ministers looked at Xiang Ye and Wu Wei in amazement, but they didn't dare to speak.

Just when the ministers didn't know what to do, the newly appointed Zongzheng Wangpu stood up and walked to Wu Wei's side and said to Xiang Ye: "Your Majesty, the minister's duty is to take charge of the royal family's affairs, and changing the name of the country is a major matter, if you don't handle it carefully, I am afraid it will hurt the national body!" ”

"What kind of national body is hurt?" Xiang Ye originally thought that Jiuyuan Country was too ugly, and when he heard it, he knew that it was a small prince, he had long been dissatisfied with this country name, and he wanted to change the atmospheric country name before arranging for Wu Wei to change the country name, at this moment, seeing that someone objected, he was suddenly full of unhappiness, and said to Wang Pu in a low voice: "Changing the country name is to revitalize Jiuyuan, and an atmospheric country name can revitalize our country's prestige!" Boost our military! Are you dissatisfied with anything? ”

Xiang Ye didn't expect that Wang Pu looked honest on the surface, but he was unambiguous when he recognized the reason for death, and his words not only did not scare Wang Pu, but provoked Wang Pu's nerves that could not be bent.

Wang Pu stared at Xiang Ye with a stiff neck and said: "The king changed the country name for no reason, which is inconsistent with the etiquette system, could it be that the king still blames the ministers?" ”

"Huh?" Xiang Ye was stunned by Wang Pu's robbery, rolled up his sleeves and muttered: "'Milk' and 'milk', I can't be the master of you anymore!" Don't move, I'm going to beat you up today to let you know what it means to be respectful and orderly! What is called a country is Lao Tzu's final say! ”

Xiang Ye was about to step down from the throne as he spoke, Wu Wei saw that he was really on fire, and hurriedly gave Wei Feng and the others a look, and several people understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Xiang Ye and drag him towards the throne.

"The king, the king, I can't help it!" Wei Feng hugged Xiang Ye's waist with both hands and whispered in his ear: "You are the king of a country, how can you do it to the minister in the main hall like a splash on the street?" If you say it, you may be laughed at! ”

Wu Wei also dragged his neck and stood in the center of the main hall like a stake to Wang Pu, and whispered to him: "Lord Zongzheng, what are you doing here?" Do you want to show your loyalty to the world, or do you want the world to think that the king is cruel? ”

Wang Pu, who was holding his neck, listened to Wu Wei's words, and was stunned for a moment, and then realized that arguing with Xiang Ye in the court was extremely bad for Xiang Ye's reputation, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and called it a capital crime.

After Wei Feng's persuasion, Xiang Ye calmed down, he pushed the few generals who were holding him, straightened his clothes, waved his hand at Wang Pu and said with a smile: "What is Wang Zongzheng doing?" I'm kidding you! It's their few goods, and they can't see a reason, so they just run up to persuade something. Who do you think I am? I'll tell you that I'm the wisest monarch, haha, how could I do anything to beat up a minister? Let's talk about it, right? ”

After he said this, the tense atmosphere in the hall eased somewhat. The ministers are not stupid, everyone can see that Xiang Ye was indeed very angry at that time, but they were not stupid enough to say it to their faces, and they all nodded yes one by one.

"You're good!" Seeing that the ministers all nodded, Xiang Ye turned to look at Wang Pu and said, "Get up, what I need is someone like you who dares to speak." On this basis, how about I reward you with a thousand more households? ”

Wang Pu was told by Wu You, he was trembling and afraid, but when he heard Xiang Ye say that he wanted to reward him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, raised his head and looked at Xiang Ye in amazement, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, that's it for today's court meeting!" Xiang Ye waved his hand at the ministers and said, "Retreat from the court, all of you will have to come early tomorrow morning to participate in the ceremony of changing the country name!" ”

After retiring from the dynasty, Xiang Ye returned to the harem under the escort of a group of 'female' guards. A few days ago, in order to maintain good relations with the Huns, he was entangled and depressed. obviously wanted to start a war against the Huns, but considering the disparity in strength, he never dared to turn his face with the Huns.

This time the Huns made rude demands, if they really agreed to those conditions, even if they kept the Jiuyuan Kingdom, he would never have a face to live in the world in the future. Since they have provoked, if he doesn't go to war again, he will not be able to raise his head in front of the people of Jiuyuan Kingdom in the future.

As the king of a nation, he has an obligation to protect his people. When a robber breaks into his house and loots, he must support his people and give them a sense of belonging, even if it comes at the cost of dust and dead bodies all over the ground.

As soon as Xiang Ye returned to the harem, he hadn't decided whether to go to 'Meng' Su's bedroom or Xiang Qing's bedroom, and 'Meng' Su took Di Yu to greet him from afar.

As soon as he walked up to Xiang Ye, 'Meng' Su opened his mouth and asked, "King, have you decided to go to war with the Xiongnu?" ”

"How do you know?" Xiang Ye did not directly answer the question of 'Meng' Su, but asked rhetorically: "This matter was announced in the court, and you already know about it before I came to the harem?" ”

Seeing Xiang Ye's suspicion, Meng Su's face turned red, and he muttered, "It's the guards in charge of the guards of the main hall, they told me." ”

Xiang Ye's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly and said, "Who is talking so fast?" Transfer them to the Girl Army outside the city immediately! I don't want what I said in the court to reach other people's ears right away, not even you and Xiang Qing! ”

'Meng' Su lowered his head and answered, not daring to ask Xiang Ye any more questions.

Di Yao, who was standing on the side, saw Xiang Ye reprimanding Di Ye for the first time, frowned and stepped forward and said to Xiang Ye: "King, I don't think 'Meng' Sister Su is wrong!" She only cares about you and your country, so she is so nervous about whether you have a war with Maudun. ”

"You don't care about the Huns? Don't care about your kindred? Xiang Ye tilted his head and looked at Di Yan and asked, "If I go to war with the Huns, which side will you stand on?" ”

Di Yan was stunned by Xiang Ye's question, pursed his lips and said: "I am a Huns, I love every child of the Huns, but I hate Maodun." If you promise me not to kill the Huns indiscriminately, I will be on your side, and I will also collect a group of Xiongnu forces for you. ”

Xiang Ye smiled slightly, and said to Di Yao: "I used to follow King Xiang, and I was just a general at that time. There is no way to let 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing go to the battlefield, now that I have become a prince, I have my own country, I will not let the 'female' people charge into battle for me. Although you are the second Hun I brought back, and there is no overly complicated relationship between us, I also don't want you to participate in the war, do you understand? ”~
