Straight man of steel

Chapter 112 The Xiongnu Marriage
Zhang Yuan didn't know the result of Wang Sui's breeding of locusts. He just knew that Liu Che didn't order him to be caught after spring came. The difference between what he said and what Wang Sui said should not be too big.

The summer of the second year came soon. Chang'an City was in turmoil because of Queen Dowager Dou's illness. Zhang Yuan, who was far away in Shanglin Garden, was on the edge of a storm. Although he knew the direction, he hadn't arrived yet. to the point of being affected.

In late May, although the temperature was still very high, there were still a group of people wearing armor and riding fast horses, running around in the territory of the Han Dynasty with command flags in their hands.

There is no exception here in the Zhang Mansion. This day is still the same as in the past. A group of people are holding watermelons and eating, and suddenly there is a roar from outside.

"The Empress Dowager died, and the people of the big man wore mourning clothes for the Empress Dowager."

Zhang Yuan was not qualified to attend Empress Dowager Dou's funeral, so he could only hang white banners at home, and everyone tied a white burlap on their foreheads.

For the next 27 days, it is said that Liu Che and his ministers all guarded the spirit of Empress Dou in Baling.

On the tenth day after everyone returned to Chang'an, Liu Che couldn't hold back anymore.

Immediately, Xu Chang, the prime minister appointed by Empress Dowager Dou, and Zhuang Qingdi, the imperial historian, were removed on the grounds of ineffective handling of Empress Dowager Dou's funeral, Wu'an Hou Tianfu was appointed as prime minister, Han Anguo was appointed imperial historian, and Dou Ying was abandoned.

At this moment, everyone in the world could see that Liu Che was dissatisfied with Queen Mother Dou. Even though Dou Ying was the opposite of Queen Mother Dou, he still did not appoint him.

Afterwards, Tian Fujin presented Quyuanli and began to promote it all over the world.

Chu Da was promoted at the same time. Almost all the officials in the previous Shaofu Supervisor were dismissed. Only Chu Da sat firmly in the position of Shaofu Chancellor and concurrently held the position of Shanglin Yuanling.

Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, fell into anxiety. He was afraid that Tian Fu would completely fall out with Liu Che because of the appointment of officials, as written in the history books.

At this time, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to go to Chang'an Prime Minister's Mansion to speak to Tian Fu, so he could only stay as far away as possible, hoping that people all over the world would forget him.

However, his system tasks kept reminding Zhang Yuan that Liu Che was no longer willing to be lonely.

"How Steel Is Tempered: Iron Man: The number of armored soldiers in the Han Dynasty reached 43246 (50000/[-])

Mission Completion Reward: Three-Bow Bed Crossbow Pattern. "

In more than a year, the number of armored soldiers in Dahan has increased by more than 1. Zhang Yuan didn't have a clear understanding of what armored soldiers are before, but he got what he wanted to know in the innermost part of Chu Da.

Beidaying and Xiliuying are the places with the largest military strength near Chang'an. Their equipment is better than that of the soldiers of the county. However, in places like this, those who are covered with armor are called armored soldiers. Basically, their positions are in the rank of Jia soldiers. The above includes even long, and it would be good if the corporal can wear full leather armor.

The only army in the Han Dynasty with all armored soldiers was the Qimen Army, and the Qimen Army only had a thousand soldiers.

Knowing this, Zhang Yuan realized that when the system gave him the task, the [-] armored soldiers were estimated to be all accumulated by the Han army before, and all of them that have increased since then are all the strength accumulated by Liu Che over the past year.

The Han court, which has just changed a large number of people, is now caught in a dispute.

After the death of Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Che never returned to Weiyang Palace, but lived in the more comfortable and luxurious Jianzhang Palace.

At this moment, in the main hall of Jianzhang Palace, Daxing Wang Hui rolled up his sleeves and argued with the imperial historian Han Anguo about the Xiongnu's request for marriage.

From time to time, he would turn around and talk to Liu Che about his opinions, asking Liu Che to support him.

"Your Majesty, you should reject the Xiongnu's request for marriage. Think about it, the Xiongnu has no faith at all. Every time they make peace with the Xiongnu, they break the contract and invade within a few years at most. This has been the case for decades.

For such a nation that has no faith at all, the best way is to use military strikes to defeat him, defeat him, otherwise we big men will never have a peaceful day. "

Liu Che's expression could tell everything. When Wang Hui was talking, Liu Che was very excited.

Since Han Anguo was on the opposing side of Wang Hui, seeing Liu Che's appearance, he also said to Liu Che.

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu are nomads and they are too mobile. As Daxing Wanghui said, they have no faith at all, so we have no way to subdue them."

Seeing Liu Che's frowning, Han Anguo was a man of his own, and immediately stopped facing Liu Che and began to turn around to preach his own set of remarks to the courtiers.

"Think about it, everyone, we have worked so hard to find the Huns, but by the time we find them, we are already exhausted, how can we still have the strength to defeat the Huns?
This is like an arrow shot from a strong bow. When it is about to hit the ground, it has no strength to penetrate even a piece of extremely thin silk.

It was like a gust of wind, and when the wind finally stopped, not even a feather could be blown up.

This is definitely not because the arrows fired by the strong bow were weak at first, nor because the strong wind was weak at first, but because they all exhausted their strength in the middle of the journey.

Therefore, attacking the Xiongnu is really not good for my big man, so it is better to exchange peace for peace. "

Most of the ministers in the main hall have experienced the reign of Emperor Jing, and they have long been accustomed to the act of marriage.

Since the time of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the method of the great Han to the Xiongnu has always been to make peace. Although there is no way to solve the Xiongnu problem in one fell swoop, there will be no major mistakes.

Because of this, the ministers in the hall echoed Han Anguo's statement one after another.

Tian Fu stood on the sidelines and watched all this with cold eyes. For anyone who wanted to watch from the sidelines, Liu Che would not make him so comfortable. Call one.

"Prime Minister."

With a shout, Tian Fu was pulled back from the fugue state, and he hurriedly stepped out and said to Liu Che.

"The minister is here."

Seeing that Liu Che named Tian Fu's name, all the ministers also fell silent, and the matter will finally come to a conclusion.

Liu Che suppressed the anger on his face, and said with a smile to Tian Fu.

"Doctor Yushi advocates peace, and Daxing advocates. Seeing the prime minister's contented appearance, I know that you have a solution in your mind to solve the Xiongnu's marriage.

I don't know whether the prime minister advocates peace or war with the Huns. "

Not to mention that Tian Fu had just sat in this position, even in a few years, it would be difficult for a person of his character to regard the fate of a big man with his own. Now that Liu Che asked him for his opinion, he felt guilty in his heart. murmured.

After thinking about it, Ji Fu told him before taking office that the prime minister is the head of all officials, and when he does anything and says anything, as long as he stands in the position of the majority, he will not make mistakes, and he immediately made a decision in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I think that the words of Han Anguo, the official censor, are very reasonable. Emperor Gaozu couldn't bear the suffering of the people in our Han Dynasty, so he decided to make a peace plan.

Now that the Empress Dowager has just passed away, people inside and outside the court need to be appeased, so it is not appropriate to use weapons rashly at this time. "

As soon as Tian Fu finished speaking, it aroused even more momentum, and the number of ministers who advocated peace increased. Those ministers who originally advocated war against the Huns also began to waver, thinking that they might offend Tian Fu, so they changed their course Yi Zhang, support Han Anguo.

Wang Hui's face turned red from anger, and Liu Che had no way to disobey the opinions of the majority, so he could only give orders.

"Since all the ministers feel that it is better to make a marriage, let's make a marriage.

The imperial censor chooses one of the vassals to enter the palace, and discusses the matter of marriage in another day. "

Tian Fu led a group of ministers and shouted at Liu Che.

"Your Majesty is wise."

After working hard for several years, he was still unable to start a war with the Xiongnu. At this time, Liu Che was very depressed, and left behind with a wave of his sleeves, ignoring the feelings of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
