In the Han Empire, mung beans were not on the table.

Because it is too hard and small, it is not a disaster year, and even ordinary people are reluctant to eat it.

And the people did not grow mung beans to eat, but to use their rhizomes to fertilize the fields.

Therefore, mung bean soup is definitely still a new thing in Dahan.

In the early morning of yesterday, Liu He went to the dining room in person and ordered the chef to soak the mung beans in the best mountain spring water for a few hours. In the evening, the mung beans are simmered in water for a long time, and a large amount of honey is added before they come out of the pot, and finally they are chilled in advance with ice.

All of this is done under the supervision of Liu He, and the taste and quality are absolutely superior.

At this time, it was already summer, and the princes had been talking about the government all morning, and it was the time when their mouths were dry.

If you can drink mung bean soup that has been chilled overnight, it is simply a jade liquid.

There was a loud noise, and there was a tendency to overwhelm the mountains and seas.

They also expressed their gratitude to the Son of Heaven.

Liu He did not forget the low-ranking Shangshu who recorded the documents, and also ordered the palace people to give them meat sandwich buns and mung bean soup.

Being able to enjoy the same treatment as the important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee naturally flattered everyone.

……

Huo Guang, who usually had a dignified face, drank two bowls of chilled mung bean soup in a row after eating two meat buns, and even choked on it because he drank it too quickly, and coughed a little hurriedly.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

"Father Zhong, be careful, although this chilled mung bean soup can cool off, it is also a cold thing after all, so you shouldn't drink it too quickly." Liu He asked intimately, "Father Zhong is the pillar of my Han Dynasty, so you must take care of your body." ”

Liu He only has the opportunity to express his care for the "middle father".

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care." Huo Guang wiped his mouth, put down the bowl with some unfinished intentions, and felt some emotion in his heart.

Today is the first time His Majesty has participated in the small court meeting, and the Son of Heaven is very nervous, so why is he Huo Guang not nervous.

Huo Guang was a little worried about the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven.

One is worried that the Son of Heaven will say some ridiculous words, and the other is worried that the Son of Heaven will point fingers at the government.

But after more than an hour, the Son of Heaven has always sat upright and listened carefully, and there is nothing abnormal.

More importantly, although the Son of Heaven listened carefully, he always regarded himself as the core of the court's discussions.

This made Huo Guang much less worried.

When the Son of Heaven ordered someone to send the meat bun and the mung bean soup, Huo Guang originally wanted to persuade him again, so that the Son of Heaven would not waste his time on these things of eating and drinking.

But after thinking about it, it was not a bad thing for the Son of Heaven to occasionally "waste" some time, so he endured it.

What's more, the chilled mung bean soup is really good, and after returning home, you have to ask the people in the house to prepare more.

……

After eating and drinking, the small court meeting continued.

Zhao Chongguo took the lead in standing up and reported that he would send troops to counterattack the Xiongnu next year.

As soon as Liu He heard that it was related to the war, he immediately sat up a little straighter than before.

But when Liu He heard the name of "Wusun", his heart couldn't help but jump sharply.

In the original history, Wusun did ask the Han for help at this time, but because of the new collapse of Emperor Xiaozhao, Huo Guangxing's Yiyin, the court was unstable, so he did not send troops immediately, but waited until two years later to send 150,000 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu.

This battle was the largest number of cavalry mobilized by the Han Dynasty, even exceeding the period of Emperor Xiaowu.

It seems that it was because he ascended the throne too smoothly that he let this war come early.

Pacifying the Xiongnu and allowing the Han to completely control the Western Regions was one of Liu He's goals.

However, he knew that the war would ultimately be a war of no return.

For a variety of reasons, the final results of this huge war were very, very small, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as futile.

On the contrary, it was the Wusun army that even achieved a lot of military exploits.

Liu He silently listened to Zhao Chongguo's statement and found that the details of the dispatch were almost exactly the same as what he knew.

It seems that if nothing else, there is no difference between sending troops at this time and sending troops two years later.

It should not have been able to achieve a very good harvest, and even strained a lot, losing all the grain, grass, horses and straw hoarded in the border counties.

Although it will not interrupt the revival of the Han Dynasty, it will still make the people of the border counties suffer and the soldiers who go out on the expedition will suffer.

Liu He wanted to stop this expedition.

But the idea is good, but he can't do that, once he intervenes in military power, Liu He will be targeted by Huo Guang.

……

Zhao Chongguo is a veteran in the Han army, and everything is very appropriate.

He has already drawn up a general strategy for the march of the army, and today he said it at this small court meeting, and it is more just a report.

There are not many other courtiers who can participate in the affairs of the military, if anyone has anything to do with it, it is that Dasi Farmland is prolonging his life - he has to prepare a part of the grain and grass for the Han army on the expedition, and the remaining part is raised by the border county.

In the past ten years, the Han Dynasty has cultivated and recuperated, and has also saved a lot of grain and grass, so this is not a problem.

After Zhao Chongguo roughly explained the strategy of entering the army, he looked at Huo Guang, and Huo Guang looked at Liu He.

"Does Your Majesty have any edicts regarding this expedition?"

"I want to learn from Gaozu to lead the troops to go to see the scenery of Saibei, but I really don't know anything about marching and fighting, and I am even more powerless, so I have Zhongfu and General Zhao to plan, and the rest of the generals to lead the troops to the battle, I have nothing to say." Liu He said the truth, and there was no trace of artificiality on his face.

Huo Guang nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction, and Zhao Chongguo also sat on the couch without saying much.

"But ......," Liu He said tentatively in a hesitant tone, "Father Zhong, I have something I want to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

"Your Majesty is the son of the Han Dynasty, and in this propaganda room, you can speak freely."

Huo Guang's answer unconsciously carried a domineering, which was even more domineering than when Emperor Xiaozhao was there.

But he didn't find out about his own shortcomings, and naturally he didn't find that the different corners of the court were cast dissatisfied eyes.

"Although I can't help much when it comes to marching and fighting, I still want to do something for the soldiers who go on the march."

Together with Huo Guang, all eyes were on Liu He.

Today's court meeting is going very well, I don't know what the Son of Heaven is going to say at this time, whether it will be something shocking.

Although Huo Guang's perception of the Son of Heaven is getting better and better, he is still wary.

This is especially true when it comes to military affairs.

"The Changyi Mansion burned down a few months ago, and a few days ago, Shaofu Le Cheng said to me that he wanted to rebuild the Changyi Mansion for me."

"However, it costs a lot of money to repair the Changyi Mansion, so I decided not to repair it for the time being, and all the money for the plan to rebuild the Changyi Mansion will be taken out and rewarded to the soldiers who gave the expedition."

It turned out that His Majesty just wanted to reward the soldiers who went on the expedition, which was an ordinary thing, and Huo Guang settled down in his heart.

However, others were a little surprised that the Son of Heaven made this decision.

After all, in their hearts, the Son of Heaven is a person who is speechless and playful.

Zhao Chongguo was still silent, but his eyes looked at the Son of Heaven with a trace of respect.

There are still some Sons of Heaven who look like Sons of Heaven.

"Le Qing, if you don't repair the Changyi Mansion, how much money can Shaofu save?"

"About two million dollars." Le Cheng hurriedly replied, the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

An ordinary mansion of a rich family does not cost more than a million dollars.

Changyi Mansion is just rebuilt, and it doesn't cost so much money, but Le has become a sycophant of the son of heaven, and all the plans are to use the best wood when rebuilding.

I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to use this money to reward the soldiers who went on the expedition.

In this way, the behavior of one's own sycophants is particularly inappropriate.

There was some heat on Le Cheng's face.

"Two million dollars, only a little more than a hundred dollars fell on the heads of each soldier, and they could only buy a newborn lamb, which was too little, and it was unsightly to use it as a reward." Liu He said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Le Qing, if I'm not mistaken, I can dispose of the money in this young mansion at will, right?" Liu He asked seriously.

"This ...... It's natural. ”

"Well, I'll have to reward you more." Liu He said quite confidently, and this confidence was brought to him by the solid family background in the Shaofu.

Since I have money, I don't need it now, but when?

The chapter name is wrong, and everyone will ......
