Han Dao world

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Liu Xie received an urgent report from General Zuo Yang Feng.

When the tribute from Jingzhou Mu Liubiao arrived at Hongnong, Yang Feng begged to intercept some supplies to support the soldiers.

Yang Feng is almost out of food.

Liu Xie immediately summoned Tian Fen from the Shaofu, and asked him to calculate how much Yang Feng's military rewards were missing, and whether they could be reissued to him in one go.

Before Liu Xie finished speaking, Tian Fen shook her head again and again.

It is not yet known how much tribute Liu Biao sent, how much was money, how much was goods, and how much of it was grain.If the quantity is not enough, all Yang Feng will be intercepted. What do you eat, Your Majesty, what do the ministers eat, and what do the tens of thousands of soldiers and family members here eat?

Facing Tian Fen's series of rhetorical questions, Liu Xie also scratched his head.

Poor and lowly couples mourn everything, and the emperor is no exception.

Without money or food, life is miserable.

I can no longer stay in Huayin, I must go to a place that can solve the problem of eating.

Liu Xie then asked Tian Fen where else was there food besides Jingzhou and Huangbaicheng.

Tian Fen blurted out. "Hanoi, Taiyuan." Then he said: "Taiyuan is the first choice."

"Why?"

"There is food in Hanoi, but the transportation is inconvenient. Water transportation goes up against the water and is easy to overturn. Land transportation has dangerous roads, and it is difficult for horses and horses to travel. It may only be carried by people on their shoulders, which consumes a lot of energy and has little transportation capacity. Taiyuan can use the Fen River, Going down the water, the consumption is less and the capacity is sufficient. But..."

Liu Xie looked at the hesitant Tian Fen. "But what?"

Tian Fen swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "The Huns gathered in Pingyang, east of the river. The food in Taiyuan may be robbed by the Huns. I heard that the prefect of Taiyuan heard that His Majesty was in Huayin. He sent envoys to contribute. He was robbed and killed as soon as he entered Hedong. Eighty-nine times it was done by the Huns."

"Fuck your mother!" Liu Xie blurted out a curse word.

The ugly Huns dare to rob Lao Tzu's wealth?

Tian Fen suddenly changed color.

Even if he had never heard this slander, he knew it was not a good word just by looking at Liu Xie's expression.

"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should be cautious in words and deeds, and not imitate the vulgar language of the rogues in your house."

"Okay, let me say something more elegant." Liu Xie stared at Tian Fen, and shouted, "You go to Hongnong to inspect and accept Jingzhou's tribute first, and then go to Pingyang to proclaim the imperial edict. Pingyang is the hometown of Wei Huo, how can the Xiongnu live there. If he doesn't act on his own, I will personally lead the elite and slaughter his family."

Tian Fen secretly regretted it.

Talking too fast for a while, not to mention causing a lot of trouble for nothing, and even giving the emperor an excuse to go to Hedong.

-

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi were in the middle, and Shi Sun Rui and others sat on both sides. Under the flickering light, their faces flickered and darkened, with different expressions.

Tian Fen looked like a child who had committed a crime, her face turned red and then pale, feeling embarrassed.

"My lords, this is the end of the matter, and it's useless to say more." Zhao Wen coughed, and said quietly: "Your Majesty's intention to go to the east of the river has been decided, so let's just leave it at that. Guanzhong is desolate, and it will be difficult to recover within a year or two. It is indeed not suitable for Li Dynasty."

Wei Jie bowed slightly. "According to Situ's opinion, who should appease Guanzhong?"

Zhao Wen exchanged glances with Zhang Xi who was beside him.

Zhang Xi said: "Based on theories and stories, it is appropriate for the Taiwei to lead the troops to guard Guanzhong. But now that the Taiwei is in Hedong and he doesn't know about military affairs, it is difficult to make it happen. The northern and southern armies are responsible for guarding the emperor, and it is not appropriate to leave them lightly. It is better to choose another good general. , worshiped as Huya and Fufeng Duwei, to town Guanzhong."

The corner of Shi Sun Rui's mouth curled slightly.

Zhang Xi's theory seems fair, but it is actually well-intentioned.

First of all, he was excluded because he did not have the name of Taiwei, and Wei Jie and Song Guo were excluded because the northern and southern armies had the duty to protect the emperor.

The plan of several Guanzhong people to return to Guanzhong was blocked before they could get out.

"Since the Taiwei is in Hedong, it's better for Sikong to control Guanzhong." Wei Jie said, "Leave Situ to assist the emperor, and the three lords will perform their duties."

Zhang Xi glared at Wei Jie. "Wei Bojun, I, this student, am not as good at using soldiers as you people from Guanzhong, so I can't afford such a heavy responsibility."

"What Sikong said, the scope is too broad." Huben Zhonglang, Song Guo, stood up and confronted Zhang Xi. "It is recognized by the world that the prime minister in the east of the Guandong and the general in the west of the Kansai are recognized by the world. It is not that I, the people of Guanzhong, boast of their abilities. Why should Sikong speak with sarcasm?"

Originally, in Shi Sun Rui's plan, he was to be recommended to return to Guanzhong.Zhang Xi clearly objected, he was very uncomfortable.

Zhang Xi also lowered his face, and was about to speak out, when Zhao Wen coughed. "Gentlemen, now half of the generals in the army are from Liangzhou, and you are still fighting for Kanto and Kanxi, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."

Zhang Xi and Song Guo closed their mouths angrily.

"Your Majesty is right. Hedong has been a place of Chinese clothing since three generations, and cannot be occupied by the Huns. It's just that these Huns were originally Han vassals. Now that the Huns are in civil strife, they have been expelled from the tribe. In desperation, they asked the court Ask for help. The imperial court can’t uphold justice, it’s already helpless. Expel them, or even slaughter their clan, it’s not in line with the righteousness to appease the barbarians.”

Zhao Wen sighed. "My lords, who can achieve the best of both worlds, relieve your majesty's anger, and calm the hearts of the Huns? The court is currently in a difficult situation, and it is definitely not the best policy to start a war lightly."

Shi Sun Rui turned his head to look at Shang Shuling Pei Mao who had been silent all this time. "Since we are talking about the things in Hedong, how can we not listen to the opinions of the people in Hedong. Juguang, what's your opinion?"

Zhao Wen smiled wryly.

There is something in Shi Sunrui's words.

When talking about the affairs of Hedong, we must listen to the opinions of the people in Hedong.When talking about matters in Guanzhong, it is natural to listen to the opinions of the people in Guanzhong.

But he could only pretend not to understand.

At this moment, you can listen to people from Hedong talking about things in Hedong, but you can't let people from Guanzhong take charge of Guanzhong affairs.

How can the strength of the people from Hedong be compared with the people from Guanzhong.

People in Kanto can accept the emperor to go to Hedong, but they cannot accept the emperor to return to Guanzhong.

These are two different things at all.

Chapter 161 Want to add a crime

Pei Mao looked at the wooden slip in his hand in a daze, Zhao Wen yelled twice before he realized it.

Zhao Wen was very uncomfortable.

In front of so many people, Pei Mao pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't give him face. Did he think that the emperor would go to Hedong, and the people of Hedong would be able to look down on the world, or did he think that his son Pei Qian became a close minister of the emperor, and wealth could be expected?

"Lingjun, what's the matter?" Zhao Wen lowered his eyelids, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea.

Pei Mao bowed his hands in salute, with a shame on his face. "Situ, I was in doubt just now, and I was distracted for a while, so I'm rude."

"What doubts do you have? Let's hear it." Zhao Wen raised his eyelids, showing Situ's majesty.

Pei Mao is more than ten years younger than him, and his official position is even worse.If it wasn't for Shangshutai being one of the three stations and being an important member of the inner court, Pei Mao wouldn't even be qualified to participate in this meeting.Even if you participate, you can only observe and are not qualified to speak.

Pei Mao raised the wooden slip in his hand. "What's the purpose of the Son of Heaven sending me a copy of the record of meeting Guo Tu?"

Zhao Wen frowned, his lips moved, and the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back.

Needless to say, he was also a little puzzled by this.

It is not surprising that the emperor received Guo Tu and sent Guo Tu to the Court Prison because Guo Tu did not have the courtesy of a monarch and minister.Guo Tu was punished for the crime, but it was not a common practice for the emperor to send a copy of the real record to the minister.

What does the emperor want to express?

Seeing that Zhao Wen was silent, Zhang Xi couldn't help but speak.

"What other intentions are there? Your Majesty is magnanimous and sincere to us."

Pei Mao bowed his hands and saluted. "What Sikong said is true, Mao has been taught."

Zhang Xi snorted, with a look of disdain.If you want to praise the emperor, just say it, what kind of tricks are you playing.

Pei Mao said again: "Your voted me a peach, shouldn't we return it with a plum?"

"It's natural..."

As soon as Zhang Xi spoke, his sleeve was pulled.He turned to look at Zhao Wen.Zhao Wen stared at Pei Mao with lightning-like eyes.

"Lingjun's words mean that we are deceiving you?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed immediately, and they all looked at Pei Mao in unison.

Your father and son want to flatter the emperor, that is your father and son's business, but dragging everyone into the water, and even falsely accusing them of crimes, this is unbearable.

Pei Mao was taken aback, and quickly shook his head in denial. "Situ's words are serious. I just thought, if we discuss it here, can we also record it truthfully and submit it to the emperor, so that it will be recorded in the annals of history and commented by future generations?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Wen was stunned, staring at the teacup in his hand, and did not speak for a long time.

Everyone's eyes also retreated, some bowed their heads in silence, some looked around, but no one answered Pei Mao's words.

It is already very difficult to record truthfully and present it to the emperor.

What's more, it will be recorded in history and commented by later generations.

Saying bad things, words are like the wind, piercing the ears and entering the heart, without evidence.If it is turned into words and recorded in a letter, if someone sees a little selfishness, not only will it be a loss of reputation now, but it will also be infamous for thousands of years in the future.

Thinking of this, the memorandum in front of me was like burning coals, hot to the touch.

Shi Sun Rui's eyes flickered, thoughtful.

Seeing this scene, Pei Mao didn't chase after him any more. "Situ Fang just wanted to ask about He Dong?"

Zhao Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Pei Mao was quite stable and did not force them to express their opinions in public.

"Exactly. The Son of Heaven intends to go to Hedong to attack the Xiongnu. As a native of Hedong, do you think it is possible?"

"No." Pei Mao vetoed without thinking.

Zhao Wen looked at Pei Mao in surprise.He originally thought that Pei Mao would be eager to support the emperor, but he never expected that Pei Mao would directly oppose the emperor's opinion.

"tell me the story."

Pei Mao said unhurriedly: "Everyone should remember that these Huns were fighting within the clan. Shan Yu lost his position and came to the court to ask for help. It coincided with the death of the first emperor, and the powerful ministers were in disorder. The court was too busy to take care of itself. The Xiongnu People have no way to advance or retreat, and they seek to return to the country but fail, so they stay in Pingyang. Although there are plunders, there is no crime of treason, and it is enough to send envoys to reprimand, and there is no need to crusade."

Zhang Xi looked at Shaofu Tian Fen, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Tian Fen's face became even more ugly, and she couldn't help but said: "The emperor said, Hedong is the land of three generations of Longxing, Pingyang is the hometown of Weihuo, and it cannot be polluted by the Huns. No matter whether the Huns are guilty or not, they must withdraw. Hedong. If the Huns do not retreat, they are resisting the imperial edict, and the emperor has a reason to punish them."

Pei Mao smiled. "If the Huns wear my Chinese clothes and learn the etiquette of a great man, will they no longer have a smell?"

With that said, Pei Mao turned to Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi with bright smiles.

Zhang Xi's heart tightened, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.He immediately covered his belly, got up and said: "I'm ashamed, I feel uneasy in my stomach, I'm sorry for a moment." He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and ran out of the tent with his shoes on.

Zhao Wen took a step back, looked at the swaying tent door, and cursed involuntarily.

"This old man, how fast he escaped!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but because of etiquette, no one was willing to laugh first, and they all blushed.

After a while, someone couldn't help but laughed out loud.

In an instant, wild laughter erupted in the big tent.

Everyone in the tent knew that Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi were ordered to discipline Li Shi, and it became a joke.

Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing either.

"Everyone, wait for the schadenfreude. It's not just me and Sikong's responsibility to educate the people, how can you stay out of it?" Zhao Wen waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then glanced at the smiling and silent scholar Sun Rui. "Jun Rong, don't laugh either. Whether you are Weiwei or Taiwei, you have the responsibility to educate."

Shi Sunrui laughed and said, "I'm busy with military affairs, so Situ and Sikong should bother me more about enlightenment."

"you……"

"Of course, if you feel that the Huns are not good at speaking, you need to teach them a lesson by force first, and we have a duty to do so."

Zhao Wen put away his smile. "Do you also agree with the emperor's crusade against the Huns?"

Shi Sun Rui nodded, his expression returned to seriousness, and his eyes turned to the wooden slips on the case. "Although the Huns did not rebel against the Han, they plundered the people. They were the first to cause disaster. Hearing that the emperor was forced by Li Jue and did not lead his troops to follow the king, it is not innocent. The emperor sent an envoy to blame him. If he can wake up, Naturally it is the best. If you are stubborn, you will naturally be punished to show that the imperial court has its own laws and should not be violated lightly."

Zhao Wen stared at Shi Sun Rui, rolled his eyes, and fell silent.

A chuckle came from the corner.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Zhou Zhong, the former Taiwei, who is now Doctor Guanglu.

Zhou Zhong stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Wei Wei is a heroic hero, worthy of being a famous scholar in Guanzhong. It's just that the Northern and Southern Army has just reached its full strength, and I'm afraid it's not strong enough to conquer the Huns. I heard that in the past two days, relevant Chinese heroes have been joining the army. Why don't Wei Wei wait a few days until the Northern and Southern Army recovers?" The scale of Xiaowu's time, and then the story of Xiaowu's conquest of the barbarians?"

Everyone suddenly changed color.

Shi Sunrui stroked his beard, pondered for a long time, and sighed softly, his originally upright body slowly relaxed, bending like a bow.

Zhou Zhong turned to look at Pei Mao. "Juguang, when did Hedong take pride in Wei Huo? Juguang wants to be proud of his county and cling to famous ministers, but he doesn't need to cling to such lucky ministers who are despised by Tai Shigong."

Pei Mao cupped his hands in embarrassment and remained silent.
