[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House
Chapter 45 The Emperor
Hearing his yelling, Ying Zheng just sneered and raised his hand, Wei Wei stepped aside tactfully.
Ying Zheng said, "Why are you dissatisfied?"
Wang Hui calmed down, and then said: "The emperor ordered the humble general to monitor the movements of the Huns, but did not let the humble general lead troops to stop the Huns. Besides, the humble general only has [-] cavalry in hand. How to fight against the Huns? The humble general is also thinking of all the soldiers."
Ying Zheng listened to what he said was not unreasonable. Although what he said somewhat meant to excuse himself, Wang Hui didn't know who he was talking to.
In Wang Hui's eyes, Ying Zheng was just a woman in the harem. He had no idea what Ying Zheng was thinking at this moment. If he knew, he would stop talking meaningless words.
Ying Zheng laughed again, and said, "Criminal Wang Hui, do you know what the emperor meant by sending 30 troops this time? Have you really pondered the holy intention?"
Wang Hui didn't understand why Ying Zheng said this suddenly, so he could only reply: "Of course the Holy Majesty wants to attack the Xiongnu."
"you are wrong."
Ying Zheng looked at him coldly, and said unhurriedly: "The emperor didn't want to use the 30 army to drive the Huns back to their old dens, what the emperor wanted was to use the 30 army to show the Huns some color. Let them know that the Han people are not easy to bully, and they will fight back, and they will fight back. But what about you? Let the Xiongnu soldiers slip away from your nose, but you don’t show it at all, Wang Hui, you think you have done a good thing for the Holy One , saved the lives of two thousand cavalry, but you lost the face of the big man and made the Huns laugh at you!"
Wang Hui was stunned on the spot, suddenly feeling enlightened, he was stunned, and suddenly understood that Ying Zheng wanted to take him into action, to build up his army, and to save face this time.
Seeing that he was silent, Ying Zheng's tone changed back to dry, saying: "Fear the enemy before the battle, you should cut it."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away."
Wei Wei was also intimidated by Ying Zheng's aura, and he was a little scared. Fortunately, he had followed Ying Zheng's orders just now, and immediately came forward, arrested Wang Hui, and escorted him outside the hall.
Wang Hui woke up from his stupor, and while being pushed to go out, he shouted loudly, "I don't accept it! I just obeyed the holy order, and there was nothing wrong with me...I want to see the emperor! I don't accept it, it's an act of taking I'll do it!"
Wang Hui's voice became weaker and weaker, and he was taken out of the Chengming Palace, and no one could be seen.
The Queen Mother was stunned just now, and then she came back to her senses and looked at Ying Zheng with weird eyes. After all, she had seen the arrogant and domineering Chen Ajiao, and she had seen the restrained Chen Ajiao, but she had never seen such a thing. Ajiao Chen.
This is an aura that makes people involuntarily bow their heads...
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers standing in the hall holding their breath, and said, "Wang Hui has already been imprisoned. If anyone refuses to accept or is angry, you can stand up and argue now."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, but no one dared to speak up. Those who were swept by Ying Zheng's eyes all lowered their heads, for fear of becoming the second Wang Hui.
There was a smile on Ying Zheng's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all, and said: "Since your lords are meaningless, then retreat."
"This……"
Tian Fu stood up at this time, after all, he was the prime minister, how could he let a female generation, and even his own junior, stand here and point out the country without shame.
Tian Fu said: "Now the Huns have issued a letter of war to us, and all the adults in the court are present, but they don't discuss the countermeasures. How can we just retreat like this?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Tian Fu, and said: "The Huns have existed since ancient times, and it has not been a day or two on the border of the Han Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, they have been neighbors with the Huns. This is no longer a big deal. Isn’t it? In the past, the emperor of the Han Dynasty received letters from the Hun King asking for property and princesses, but now it’s just a letter from the war, so what’s the surprise? Don’t make too much fuss, Mr. Prime Minister.”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he didn't give Tian Fu a chance to fight back, and immediately said, "Retire."
Li Yannian, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment when Ying Zheng said that he would withdraw from the court, and immediately shouted, "Retire from the court—"
Ying Zheng didn't look at the Queen Mother and Tian Fu again, turned around and stepped down the steps, and walked out of the Chengming Hall unhurriedly under the watchful eyes of all the officials.
The queen mother glanced at Tian Fu, and only then did she feel angry, but the officials kept their eyes on the entrance of the hall, and then began to discuss with each other in whispers.
Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother finally flung her sleeves and left. Although she wanted to control the government, she still cared about Liu Che's condition in her heart. Whether it was out of selfishness or sincerity, the Queen Mother hoped that Liu Che would be fine.
Ying Zheng left the Chengming Hall, and did not go to see Liu Che immediately, but said to Li Yannian, "Wei Qihou Dou Ying will come out later, let him wait for me in the announcement room."
"……promise."
Li Yannian just hesitated for a moment, and immediately responded to the call to leave. Ying Zheng stopped him and said: "I have a list here, call these people to the Xuanshi Pavilion according to the list, and then call Zhang Tang from the Ting Wei Department to me." .”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he handed over a list to Li Yannian, and then boarded the car, and the riding slave drove away quickly.
When Li Yannian opened the list, there were quite a few people who wrote, such as Dongfang Shuo, Zhufuyan, Wei Qing, and Li Guang.
Because Li Yannian has seen Ying Zheng's tricks just now, he is a more ruthless person than the emperor. A few days ago, the emperor dismissed only the prime minister of the Dou family, Xu Chang, while Ying Zheng was thrown into prison by the emperor's confidant minister Wang. recover.
Li Yannian hurriedly asked people to go to Xuanshi Pavilion one by one according to the names on the list.
Ying Zheng was going to calm down Liu Che's mood. Liu Che was escorted back to the bedroom. Several imperial doctors took turns to ask for pulse, and then tied together to write the prescription.
When Yingzheng passed by, the Queen Mother was already there, and Wei Zifu was naturally serving on the side.
Liu Che seemed to be awake, but because of his severe illness, he couldn't work hard at all, let alone get up to go to court.
The Queen Mother was talking to Liu Che, and she seemed to be complaining about something. As soon as Ying Zheng came in, she immediately shut up and looked at Ying Zheng unhappy.
Seeing Ying Zheng approaching, Liu Che wanted to speak, but felt powerless, so he nodded.
Ying Zheng walked over, Liu Che glanced at Wei Zifu, Wei Zifu knew very interestingly that Liu Che wanted to talk to Ying Zheng alone, so he led all the palace people down.
The Queen Mother didn't want to leave at first. After all, she was Liu Che's biological mother. If she had something to say in front of her, she had to say it behind her back.
Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Mother, let's go back first, my son is fine here."
The Queen Mother naturally realized that it was Liu Che seeing off the guests, she flicked her sleeves angrily, and left without saying a word.
Liu Che signaled Ying Zheng to sit down, and Ying Zheng sat on the edge of the couch. Liu Che looked at him for a while, but Ying Zheng didn't know why, it seemed that Liu Che was sick, but he seemed more alert than before.
Liu Che looked at it for a while, and then said: "Sister Gillian, please take charge of the overall situation."
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "What is the emperor saying? I had no choice but to go to Chengming Palace. You don't know. I was so scared that my hands were shaking. It's just that they didn't see it."
Liu Che nodded with a smile, and said, "Just now the Queen Mother told me that you want to kill Wang Hui?"
Ying Zheng paused in his heart, and then said: "It's not up to me to decide whether to kill or not. Naturally, everything must be done according to the regulations. Although I don't understand anything, I can learn a few sentences after listening too much. Ask Weiwei to take Wang Hui to the Tingwei Office, and the Tingwei Office will investigate everything."
Liu Che seemed to be tired, he closed his eyes, and after a while, he said: "When Tian Fu came to tell me that Wang Hui couldn't be used, I didn't believe it. You told me that Wang Hui couldn't be used, but I didn't believe it either. I didn't believe it. I felt that my vision was unique, and I insisted on going my own way to the end, but in the end I received a huge joke...Your approach is correct, only Wang Hui can be exchanged for my military might if he is imprisoned."
Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Che lying on the couch with his eyes closed, and said, "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty, take good care of the dragon's body. Don't worry about business these days. Isn't there still the prime minister and them? The sky is falling." won't come down."
Liu Che opened his eyes, looked at Ying Zheng and smiled, then suddenly took Ying Zheng's hand, patted it lightly, and said, "Ah Jiao, if I'm gone, I really don't know what to do."
Ying Zheng smiled pretentiously, didn't talk to Liu Che any more, just advised him to rest more, Ying Zheng thought that the people Li Yannian invited should be almost there, so he took the opportunity to leave the palace.
Ying Zheng got into the car, and instead of going back to Jiaofangdian, he sent someone to go directly to Xuanshi Pavilion.
When Yingzheng arrived, almost all the people had come. When everyone saw Yingzheng approaching, they all fell silent at the same time, then bowed down and said: "My humble minister pays homage to the empress."
Ying Zheng didn't ask them to get up immediately, but walked over and sat down before asking them to get up.
Li Yannian hurriedly stood behind and waited on him as usual, except that usually the emperor is the one sitting next to him, but now it is the empress.
"Zhang Tang."
When Zhang Tang heard Ying Zheng calling his name, he quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "My humble minister is here."
Ying Zheng said: "You must have heard about Wang Hui's matter. I will entrust you with full responsibility for this matter... The emperor's military prestige and the Han army's discipline all depend on you."
Zhang Tang is a sensible person. When he heard Ying Zheng's words, he secretly remembered that the empress meant to deal with it strictly and not to give Wang Hui a chance. It seemed that Wang Hui was going to die this time.
Zhang Tang quickly responded, and Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then waved and said, "It's none of your business here, you can step back."
Zhang Tang knelt down to thank him, and then respectfully withdrew from the announcement room.
All his actions and speeches just now were treated as if he treated the emperor, and even more humble to please. Although everyone seemed a little contemptuous, I have to say that the empress sitting in this position, no matter what she said or did, she was really like a country. Your feeling.
Zhang Tang of Yingzheng left, took a look at the crowd, and said, "Masters must be thinking, why should I call you to the proclamation room? I don't like to go around in circles either, it's because of the Huns' fight .”
As he spoke, he stood up, walked down, and said: "Maybe you are very strange. I was still saying in Chengming Palace just now that there is nothing to make a fuss about in the letter of war from the Huns... It was just a rhetoric to appease the court. Failure to cope with this battle is not only about the comfort of the big Han border people, but also about the face of the big man. Since the adoption of the peace strategy, the Han people are the cowards hiding behind women in the eyes of the Huns!"
At this point, Ying Zheng looked at Li Guang and said, "General Li, you haven't fought the Huns for many years, do you still want to fight them?"
Li Guang also looked at Ying Zheng, and said: "Don't say whether you want to or not, the humble general is a soldier, and there is no soldier who doesn't want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Seeing the Huns so rampant, I, Li Guang, hehe, really I want to make them cry and cry!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Then the emperor gave you this chance this time."
"Your Majesty?" Li Guang said, "Has your Majesty recovered from his illness? Have you thought about how to fight the Huns?"
Ying Zheng said: "The Holy Majesty is not in good health and is resting. You should not be too tired, so please convey it to me and everyone."
Li Guang was shallow-minded, and really thought that these words were said by the emperor, and the empress was just passing them on, but other people didn't think so, especially those who were more thoughtful like Dou Ying, Dongfang Shuo, and Zhu Fuyan, and they knew it was prevarication. words.
But they thought this way in their hearts, but none of them showed it. Now the enemy needs a backbone to take the lead. If it is not Yingzheng who stands up now, then it will be Tian Fu, the queen mother, or someone who is already ambitious. Liu An, the long-standing king of Huainan.
No matter which one it is, it is not the situation they want to see. There are many parties in the court itself, and there are many undercurrents. The people who were ready to move were stunned with fright.
Wei Qing would not doubt Ying Zheng, after all, he is an honest man, and without Ying Zheng's promotion, he is now a humble cavalry slave who has no bright future, let alone a show of ambition.
Ying Zheng walked to the front of the map and said, "My lords, you can take a look and see why the Great Han has the Great Wall, but the Huns can still fight from the north to the Heshuo Grassland."
As he spoke, he scratched his hand on the map. The Huns were shaped like a sharp knife, which had been extending down from the north and inserted into the Heshuo Grassland. The tip of the knife was pointing downward. Chang'an, which He Shuo is sending down, may be violated at any time.
Li Guang took the lead and said: "Because the Huns are brave and good at fighting, their horses are good, their weapons are good, they believe in the Kunlun God, and they are also very respectful of the Hun King, and they will not be afraid of the enemy when they are in battle."
Ying Zheng nodded, but turned to look at Wei Qing, and said, "Wei Qing, what do you think?"
Wei Qing did not expect that among so many ministers, Ying Zheng would ask himself what he thought, fearing that he was not experienced enough and would make people laugh if he said it, so he replied cautiously: "I agree with General Li very much, but there is one more point... "
Wei Qing paused and continued: "The reason why the Huns are tough is that they live differently from the Han people. The Huns can drag all their belongings away with a single horse, but the Han people can't. Weaving is a rooted life, and the Huns can attack from any point on the Great Wall, making it hard to defend against.”
After hearing what he said, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What Wei Qing said is exactly what the emperor meant. The reason why the Huns are so powerful is because of their elite cavalry. The Great Wall is so long that they can break through from any point. The fixed route makes it impossible for the defenders of the border town to defend against. In fact, we can also..."
After hearing this, Han Anguo said, "What does the empress mean... let us also adopt the Huns' battle plan?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "That's right. The Huns are very arrogant. They expected the big man to be weak and incompetent, so they will fight. This time, the Han army will take the initiative to attack the Huns! Let them be caught off guard."
As soon as Yingzheng's voice fell, everyone began to chat in low voices. For so many years in the Han Dynasty, since Gao Zu was besieged by the Huns, no one dared to provoke the Huns, let alone beat them. Start a war.
"The 30 troops returned without success," Ying Zheng opened his mouth again, and said, "This time, I will give you another 30 soldiers, all equipped with good horses, and become 30 cavalry. Go out of the Great Wall in three directions, adopt the strategy of the Huns, run and attack, and take the initiative to attack the Huns."
Yingzheng paused for a moment, and this time his tone was a bit cold like in Chengming Palace just now, and he said: "I don't care what your route is, or where you plan to fight, the only thing is that if you see the Xiongnu, you will kill them." I will fight, fight hard, no matter whether it is a loss of soldiers or generals, I must show the momentum of the Han army, so that the Huns will start to fear the Han people!"
When everyone heard Ying Zheng's words, they all felt a kind of enthusiasm rushing up to the top of their heads. Although they are not at the border all the year round, no matter whether they are generals or civil servants, who doesn't hate the Huns?If it weren't for the fact that the marriage can maintain the so-called peace, they would have long wanted to have a hearty fight.
Li Guang immediately said: "This time, the humble general will never let the Huns slip away from under his nose!"
Ying Zheng said: "Now that Wang Hui is in prison, and Han Anguo is also the imperial censor, only General Li Guang can lead the army, and two more generals are needed..."
As he said, he cast his eyes on everyone and did not give them time to reflect. It seemed that he had already made preparations and had already thought about the candidate, and said: "Gongsun Ao, Wei Qing."
"The humble general is here!"
Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing came out in response, and everyone was a little surprised. Judging from what Ying Zheng meant, it seemed that he wanted Wei Qing, a newcomer, to provoke a [-]-strong army.
Ying Zheng said: "You also each lead one hundred thousand soldiers."
"This……"
Wei Qing was a little hesitant, and said: "Going back to the empress, although the humble general wants to contribute to the country, but the humble general has no actual combat experience, and he is only a bodyguard. I am afraid that he will lead a hundred thousand soldiers... It will make everyone dissatisfied, so..."
Ying Zheng raised his hand, Wei Qing stopped his voice immediately, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "I don't care if anyone is dissatisfied, this is not within the scope of my jurisdiction... If they are dissatisfied, you have to try to make them do so." , if you don't have this ability, why would the emperor want to use you?"
Wei Qing was a little surprised, but immediately bowed down and said, "No, I understand!"
Only then did Yingzheng look satisfied, and then said: "Dou Ying, Zhufu Yan, Dongfang Shuo."
"The humble minister is here."
When the three of them heard Ying Zheng calling them, they immediately stepped out.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "I want you to use your pens to guide the court's public opinion... Don't discuss the matter of sending troops to the Huns in public in the court, because you are afraid that some people will be as timid as a mouse and afraid of the Huns. You must call some literati, whether they believe in Whether Huang Lao or believe in Confucianism, let them use their pens to guide the court's public opinion, and don't let a bunch of short-sighted moths scare people."
"promise."
When the Queen Mother came out from Liu Che and returned to the East Palace, she saw the handmaid's pass, saying that Prime Minister Tian Fu had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that the Queen Mother finally came back, Tian Fu said: "Good sister, you are back, my brother is going to die!"
The Queen Mother was in a bad mood just now because Liu Che asked her to avoid talking to Ying Zheng. When she saw Tian Fu, she said sarcastically, "What's the matter with you?"
Tian Fu said: "Sister, you don't know, now the Empress has summoned a group of ministers to discuss secretly in the Xuanshi Pavilion! Even me, the prime minister, is not allowed to enter, isn't this going to turn the world upside down?"
"Secret discussion?" The Queen Mother said, "What is the secret discussion?"
Tian Fu said: "Good sister, brother, if I know, should I be anxious? But I'm thinking, probably thinking about the countermeasures against the Huns."
The Queen Mother sneered, "Against the Huns? Just rely on Chen Ajiao?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand, she didn't take it seriously, and said: "Don't look at him when he was in the Chengming Palace, hey, that's a majesty, he really regards himself as the mother of a country, but he is a woman after all, Can a woman turn her back on the sky, and discuss the use of troops with others?"
Tian Fu leaned over, lowered his voice, and said, "Sister, don't forget... Empress Lu."
The Queen Mother was startled when she heard this, her eyes widened in an instant, and she said with a "thud" in her heart, "You think Chen Ajiao might be Empress Lu?"
"It doesn't matter whether he can be the second empress Lu," Tian Fu said, "the current momentum is very wrong. It stands to reason that the emperor fell ill, and I am the prime minister. Even if my prime minister cannot convince everyone, isn't it? And what about you, the queen mother? When will it be the queen's turn to decide? Moreover, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads to him, and Wang Hui was arrested as soon as he stepped on the stage, and he wanted to behead him. Since ancient times, there has been only one person who has the power to kill, reward and punish, who is the emperor..."
These few words were right in the heart of the Queen Mother, the more she heard the more the Queen Mother became more frightened, and said: "Then...then what should we do now?"
Tian Fu seemed to have already thought about what to say next, and said: "This momentum is very bad. If it continues like this, the emperor's illness will be cured, and their Dou family will be revived."
The Queen Mother was even more impatient, and said, "Then do you have a good idea?"
Tian Fu said: "I have a solution, but I need your approval, sister."
"Hurry up and say it!"
Tian Fu said: "The method is to prevent the queen from doing anything to the Huns, and then mobilize the princes to fight the Huns."
"Princes and soldiers?"
The Queen Mother was taken aback when she heard this, and said: "This is not good... think about the Seven Kings' Rebellion, if the princes and kings are asked to dispatch troops, then they will take the opportunity to attack the capital, what should we do?"
Tian Fu said: "Sister, you are so confused. Don't you remember Liu An, the king of Huainan? Their family always wanted to marry us, do you remember? At that time, it was because Mrs. Dou intervened and insisted on letting you I agreed to Chen Yu's marriage, but now it's all right, Mrs. Dou has lost her backing, and my sister doesn't have to take her promise of marriage seriously. Let's continue to marry Liu An. Now that we have become a family, Liu An has no reason Not helping us, is it?"
The Queen Mother frowned, as if she was thinking, and said: "Although you say that, but Liu An... King Huainan and the Emperor are considered to have enmity. Didn't Liu An's father die a terrible death?"
Tian Fu said: "It's been a matter of how many years, sister, don't worry, Liu An has told me many times that he wants to get married, that is quite sincere. We married the Huainan King, naturally It's justifiable to use their soldiers and money! Isn't it?"
The Queen Mother said: "Is there really such a good thing? Don't lure wolves into the house then."
Tian Fu himself had the idea of luring wolves into the house. If he could take Huainan Wang Liu An to the throne at this time, then he would be a hero.
Tian Fu didn't expect that his sister was quite thoughtful at the critical moment, so he continued to persuade: "Hey, sister, what a critical point this is, do you really want to see the Dou family come back to life? Look at the queen's arrogance. Just now in the Chengming Palace, did he take you seriously? The empress dowager is no longer here and he still looks like this. If the emperor recovers from illness, he will be regarded as a hero, queen. Instigate the emperor to deal with you, what should I do?"
Although the queen mother had some thoughts, she couldn't say anything to Tian Fu after all. Tian Fu knew what she was most afraid of, and how deep her enmity with the Dou family was. After hearing this, the queen mother naturally drummed in her heart. She was afraid that Ying Zheng was really what Tian Fu said. , got the power, to be Empress Lu.
The Queen Mother said: "You...you let me think about it again, and I'm not in a hurry for a day."
Tian Fu knew that he should not be too eager for success, so he had to say: "Okay, sister, you can think about it quickly, the empress will not give you time to deal with him."
The Queen Mother nodded, and said: "You go back first, and then go to check Huainan King's tone and see if he really doesn't hold grudges."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Tian Fu went out of the East Palace and went to Xuanshi Pavilion for another stroll. The place was already dispersed and there was no one there. Tian Fu wanted to find out what they were talking about inside, but when he asked the servants and maids, they all said they didn’t know. The empress had a secret discussion with the ministers, and all the palace people were dismissed.
After all, Yingzheng was Yingzheng, not as careless as Liu Che. Last time, the Huns turned around and ran away because of the leak. This time, the same mistakes must not be repeated, so Yingzheng asked Li Yannian to call everyone over for a secret discussion.
When everyone was about to resign, Ying Zheng also specifically asked that this matter need to be kept secret. After all, it was a surprise attack, and it could not be done with great fanfare. Without the suddenness, it would be meaningless.
So Tian Fu didn't find out anything at all. No matter how smart Tian Fu's calculations were, he could only think that he was discussing how to deal with the Huns.
Wei Qihou and Dou Ying stayed behind when everyone was leaving. Seeing that he would not leave, Ying Zheng said, "Is there anything else Wei Qihou can do?"
Dou Ying hesitated for a moment, then said: "My minister has two things that I want to report to the empress."
"Uncle, please tell me."
Dou Ying then said: "Since Emperor Gaozu, whenever a large-scale military force is used abroad, he will prevent the princes from taking the opportunity to rebel... Although the world is peaceful now, the princes have been weakened a lot since the Seven Kings Rebellion, but it is not without this Possibly, I hope the empress can consider it."
Ying Zheng nodded after hearing this, and said, "I have also thought about this matter, but I didn't pay attention to it for a while, what can uncle do?"
Dou Ying listened and smiled. Ying Zheng saw that his smile didn't look like a fake smile or a sneer, but he really found it interesting, so he couldn't help asking: "It seems that uncle has a plan in mind?"
Dou Ying said: "This method...although it is a little bit unfair, if the Empress thinks it is feasible, she will probably bear a lot of infamy."
What Yingzheng feared the most in his life was infamy. Successors would have to comment on merits and demerits, so what's the use of infamy or sagehood for a while.
Ying Zheng also laughed, and said, "I'm not afraid of that, Uncle, but it's okay."
When a feudal lord becomes an emperor in a fiefdom, there must be a lot of retainers under his command. These retainers include scribes who give advice, and naturally there are also tyrants who are green and grassy. No matter what kind, as long as they are valued, they must have a lot of family property. It can also be said that, The degree to which they are valued can be divided from the family property...
Dou Ying paused and said with a smile: "Now the imperial mausoleum has found a place and is about to be built. Although the geomantic omen is good, it is... that the population is sparse and deserted. The empress can order that all places be People whose wealth exceeds the limit must move their family to the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum within a time limit... Firstly, to gain popularity, the more people there are, the place will be at its peak. Secondly, these highly regarded scribes are worried about what to do relocate, or how to avoid relocation, there is no time to think about anything else."
Ying Zheng found it very interesting after listening to it, and said: "A good way is a good way, but it hurts a little bit. No wonder my uncle said that I would bear a bad name. I guess there will be many people who scold me... just like what my uncle said. , I will send someone to give you a memorial in a while, and bring it to your majesty."
Dou Ying said: "There is a second matter... The second matter is about the surprise attack on the Huns by an army of 30."
Ying Zheng said, "I don't know if uncle has any good ideas."
Dou Ying said: "Perhaps saying this will make the empress unhappy, but after thinking about it, I still have to say..."
Ying Zheng said, "As long as it's reasonable, it doesn't matter."
Dou Ying nodded, and then said: "The empress just now let Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Gongsun Ao each lead [-] cavalry to go out of the Great Wall to attack the Xiongnu. This strategy of running and raiding is very much approved by my ministers, but... The empress made a big taboo."
"What is it?"
Yingzheng was stunned. He asked himself that there was nothing he didn't expect. After all, he had been beating the Xiongnu for a long time. When he was the first emperor, he was also beating the Huns. Zhe Hu, this is the Great Wall.
It's just that Ying Zheng doesn't know, he thinks from the emperor's point of view, while Dou Ying thinks from the courtier's point of view, and Dou Ying is as meticulous and quick-witted as dust, but he doesn't like to fight, otherwise he would not be the one who only has a name , but there are no idle officials with official positions.
Dou Ying said respectfully: "The emperor sent 30 troops to ambush the Huns, and finally let the Huns escape without success. The empress also sent 30 troops to surprise the Huns... The empress can't help but think about it, what you did , isn't it the same as the emperor?"
Ying Zheng vaguely thought of something in his mind, and couldn't help being surprised.
Just listen to Dou Ying continuing: "Ambush is a delicate job, and raids really need to pay attention to speed. Although the two are very different, they have one thing in common, that is, don't have too many people! If there are too many people, they are not good at unification. Just imagine 10 people." Let’s not talk about where to find so many excellent horses to equip human cavalry, this number alone cannot be used for surprise attacks.”
Although Ying Zheng didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Dou Ying was right, he only thought of momentum and forgot about it.
Ying Zheng said: "Uncle is right. According to Uncle, how many people are needed?"
Dou Ying made a gesture with his hand, and it was still "three", and said: "Thirty thousand, a total of 3 people, three generals each leading [-] troops, and ran to make a surprise attack."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Just do what uncle said."
"promise."
Yingzheng came out of the Xuanshi Pavilion, stood on the steps in front of the Xuanshi Pavilion, looked down, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a sense of seeing the sun behind the clouds, the depression in his heart these days suddenly opened up, and it was not in vain to waste himself in the Jiaofang Palace Such a long time.
Ying Zheng enjoys the feeling of playing power, and only at this time, he feels that he is a real living person, and the feeling of blood boiling seems to be exciting.
Wei Qing has become a general from Jianzhangjian, and he is evenly matched with veterans like Li Guanggong and Sun Ao.
After all, this time the troops were divided into three groups, the army had no commander, and the three of them were on equal footing. It was inevitable that there would be some comparison among the soldiers. Not to mention the parachutist Li Guang, even Gongsun Ao's achievements alone could not be compared with Wei Qing.
Wei Qing thought that he was going to go to war soon, so he had to say goodbye to his sister Wei Zifu. After all, going to war was unpredictable, but this time the division of troops into three groups was done in secret, and it was inconvenient to disclose it to Wei Zifu.
Wei Qing took it as if he was going to visit the Holy Majesty, and took a look at Wei Zifu along the way.
Liu Che drank the medicine and fell asleep. Wei Zifu finished serving him and cleaned up the medicine bowl before he was free.
Because Liu Che had a headache and was afraid of making noise, the servants and maids were all driven outside, and Wei Zifu was left alone inside, so after Liu Che fell asleep, Wei Zifu just slacked off and sat down.
Ordinarily, a slave like her could not sit on the edge of the couch. Wei Zifu stared at Liu Che's face for a while. Liu Chesheng's good face was not only upright, but also heroic. , which woman can resist such Liu Che?
Wei Zifu sighed. He had been by Liu Che's side for so long, and he had done his best. He hoped that one day he would be able to rise to the top and escape the bitter life of being a slave.
It's just that Wei Zifu couldn't get what he wanted. She looked at Liu Che's face, sighed again, slowly lowered her head, and gently buried her face on Liu Che's chest, as if very intimate.
Wei Zifu could only do this while Liu Che was asleep. Although Liu Che was flirtatious on weekdays, he did not touch the people around Yingzheng. Wei Zifu came out of Jiaofang Palace, so Liu Che naturally did not touch her.
When Wei Qing arrived at the door, he saw a lot of palace people piled up outside, because almost everyone knew Wei Qing, and Liu Che also said that Wei Qing didn't need to be notified, so no one stopped him.
Wei Qing walked in, turned to the inner room, and saw Wei Zifu leaning on Liu Che's chest affectionately at a glance.
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and pulled Wei Zifu out.
When Wei Zifu was pulled up, he was scared out of his wits. If someone saw this kind of action and told the empress, he would still be alive.
Wei Zifu saw clearly that it was Wei Qing, and immediately let out a breath, but still felt that his heartbeat was hard to calm down for a while.
Wei Qing lowered his voice and said, "Sister, what are you doing? You...why are you so confused! If someone else sees it, what's the deal?"
Wei Zifu's heart jumped violently, but his face was very calm, he said: "Isn't there no one around here?"
"you……"
Wei Qing couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he finally had to say: "That's the emperor, sister, who do you like?"
Wei Zifu sneered and said, "Who else can you like us maids who serve the emperor like us?"
Wei Qing choked for a moment, and said: "In short, let's forget about it. If the emperor also likes my sister, one day my sister will do her best after being canonized. If the emperor doesn't have this intention, my sister must never..."
Wei Zifu interrupted him and said: "Wei Qing, you are always like this, do you know that if you don't take the initiative to fight for anything, you will get nothing in the end, and it is impossible for others to hold good things on your head of."
"I……"
Before Wei Qing could speak again, he saw a person entering the hall, and immediately stopped talking. Wei Zifu followed Wei Qing's gaze and saw that the person who came was the empress, and he didn't know if the empress heard what he said. The three souls and seven souls were frightened a lot, and their faces turned pale. They knelt down, coughed and greeted Ying Zheng, and said
Ying Zheng said, "Why are you dissatisfied?"
Wang Hui calmed down, and then said: "The emperor ordered the humble general to monitor the movements of the Huns, but did not let the humble general lead troops to stop the Huns. Besides, the humble general only has [-] cavalry in hand. How to fight against the Huns? The humble general is also thinking of all the soldiers."
Ying Zheng listened to what he said was not unreasonable. Although what he said somewhat meant to excuse himself, Wang Hui didn't know who he was talking to.
In Wang Hui's eyes, Ying Zheng was just a woman in the harem. He had no idea what Ying Zheng was thinking at this moment. If he knew, he would stop talking meaningless words.
Ying Zheng laughed again, and said, "Criminal Wang Hui, do you know what the emperor meant by sending 30 troops this time? Have you really pondered the holy intention?"
Wang Hui didn't understand why Ying Zheng said this suddenly, so he could only reply: "Of course the Holy Majesty wants to attack the Xiongnu."
"you are wrong."
Ying Zheng looked at him coldly, and said unhurriedly: "The emperor didn't want to use the 30 army to drive the Huns back to their old dens, what the emperor wanted was to use the 30 army to show the Huns some color. Let them know that the Han people are not easy to bully, and they will fight back, and they will fight back. But what about you? Let the Xiongnu soldiers slip away from your nose, but you don’t show it at all, Wang Hui, you think you have done a good thing for the Holy One , saved the lives of two thousand cavalry, but you lost the face of the big man and made the Huns laugh at you!"
Wang Hui was stunned on the spot, suddenly feeling enlightened, he was stunned, and suddenly understood that Ying Zheng wanted to take him into action, to build up his army, and to save face this time.
Seeing that he was silent, Ying Zheng's tone changed back to dry, saying: "Fear the enemy before the battle, you should cut it."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away."
Wei Wei was also intimidated by Ying Zheng's aura, and he was a little scared. Fortunately, he had followed Ying Zheng's orders just now, and immediately came forward, arrested Wang Hui, and escorted him outside the hall.
Wang Hui woke up from his stupor, and while being pushed to go out, he shouted loudly, "I don't accept it! I just obeyed the holy order, and there was nothing wrong with me...I want to see the emperor! I don't accept it, it's an act of taking I'll do it!"
Wang Hui's voice became weaker and weaker, and he was taken out of the Chengming Palace, and no one could be seen.
The Queen Mother was stunned just now, and then she came back to her senses and looked at Ying Zheng with weird eyes. After all, she had seen the arrogant and domineering Chen Ajiao, and she had seen the restrained Chen Ajiao, but she had never seen such a thing. Ajiao Chen.
This is an aura that makes people involuntarily bow their heads...
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers standing in the hall holding their breath, and said, "Wang Hui has already been imprisoned. If anyone refuses to accept or is angry, you can stand up and argue now."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, but no one dared to speak up. Those who were swept by Ying Zheng's eyes all lowered their heads, for fear of becoming the second Wang Hui.
There was a smile on Ying Zheng's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all, and said: "Since your lords are meaningless, then retreat."
"This……"
Tian Fu stood up at this time, after all, he was the prime minister, how could he let a female generation, and even his own junior, stand here and point out the country without shame.
Tian Fu said: "Now the Huns have issued a letter of war to us, and all the adults in the court are present, but they don't discuss the countermeasures. How can we just retreat like this?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Tian Fu, and said: "The Huns have existed since ancient times, and it has not been a day or two on the border of the Han Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, they have been neighbors with the Huns. This is no longer a big deal. Isn’t it? In the past, the emperor of the Han Dynasty received letters from the Hun King asking for property and princesses, but now it’s just a letter from the war, so what’s the surprise? Don’t make too much fuss, Mr. Prime Minister.”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he didn't give Tian Fu a chance to fight back, and immediately said, "Retire."
Li Yannian, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment when Ying Zheng said that he would withdraw from the court, and immediately shouted, "Retire from the court—"
Ying Zheng didn't look at the Queen Mother and Tian Fu again, turned around and stepped down the steps, and walked out of the Chengming Hall unhurriedly under the watchful eyes of all the officials.
The queen mother glanced at Tian Fu, and only then did she feel angry, but the officials kept their eyes on the entrance of the hall, and then began to discuss with each other in whispers.
Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother finally flung her sleeves and left. Although she wanted to control the government, she still cared about Liu Che's condition in her heart. Whether it was out of selfishness or sincerity, the Queen Mother hoped that Liu Che would be fine.
Ying Zheng left the Chengming Hall, and did not go to see Liu Che immediately, but said to Li Yannian, "Wei Qihou Dou Ying will come out later, let him wait for me in the announcement room."
"……promise."
Li Yannian just hesitated for a moment, and immediately responded to the call to leave. Ying Zheng stopped him and said: "I have a list here, call these people to the Xuanshi Pavilion according to the list, and then call Zhang Tang from the Ting Wei Department to me." .”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he handed over a list to Li Yannian, and then boarded the car, and the riding slave drove away quickly.
When Li Yannian opened the list, there were quite a few people who wrote, such as Dongfang Shuo, Zhufuyan, Wei Qing, and Li Guang.
Because Li Yannian has seen Ying Zheng's tricks just now, he is a more ruthless person than the emperor. A few days ago, the emperor dismissed only the prime minister of the Dou family, Xu Chang, while Ying Zheng was thrown into prison by the emperor's confidant minister Wang. recover.
Li Yannian hurriedly asked people to go to Xuanshi Pavilion one by one according to the names on the list.
Ying Zheng was going to calm down Liu Che's mood. Liu Che was escorted back to the bedroom. Several imperial doctors took turns to ask for pulse, and then tied together to write the prescription.
When Yingzheng passed by, the Queen Mother was already there, and Wei Zifu was naturally serving on the side.
Liu Che seemed to be awake, but because of his severe illness, he couldn't work hard at all, let alone get up to go to court.
The Queen Mother was talking to Liu Che, and she seemed to be complaining about something. As soon as Ying Zheng came in, she immediately shut up and looked at Ying Zheng unhappy.
Seeing Ying Zheng approaching, Liu Che wanted to speak, but felt powerless, so he nodded.
Ying Zheng walked over, Liu Che glanced at Wei Zifu, Wei Zifu knew very interestingly that Liu Che wanted to talk to Ying Zheng alone, so he led all the palace people down.
The Queen Mother didn't want to leave at first. After all, she was Liu Che's biological mother. If she had something to say in front of her, she had to say it behind her back.
Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Mother, let's go back first, my son is fine here."
The Queen Mother naturally realized that it was Liu Che seeing off the guests, she flicked her sleeves angrily, and left without saying a word.
Liu Che signaled Ying Zheng to sit down, and Ying Zheng sat on the edge of the couch. Liu Che looked at him for a while, but Ying Zheng didn't know why, it seemed that Liu Che was sick, but he seemed more alert than before.
Liu Che looked at it for a while, and then said: "Sister Gillian, please take charge of the overall situation."
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "What is the emperor saying? I had no choice but to go to Chengming Palace. You don't know. I was so scared that my hands were shaking. It's just that they didn't see it."
Liu Che nodded with a smile, and said, "Just now the Queen Mother told me that you want to kill Wang Hui?"
Ying Zheng paused in his heart, and then said: "It's not up to me to decide whether to kill or not. Naturally, everything must be done according to the regulations. Although I don't understand anything, I can learn a few sentences after listening too much. Ask Weiwei to take Wang Hui to the Tingwei Office, and the Tingwei Office will investigate everything."
Liu Che seemed to be tired, he closed his eyes, and after a while, he said: "When Tian Fu came to tell me that Wang Hui couldn't be used, I didn't believe it. You told me that Wang Hui couldn't be used, but I didn't believe it either. I didn't believe it. I felt that my vision was unique, and I insisted on going my own way to the end, but in the end I received a huge joke...Your approach is correct, only Wang Hui can be exchanged for my military might if he is imprisoned."
Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Che lying on the couch with his eyes closed, and said, "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty, take good care of the dragon's body. Don't worry about business these days. Isn't there still the prime minister and them? The sky is falling." won't come down."
Liu Che opened his eyes, looked at Ying Zheng and smiled, then suddenly took Ying Zheng's hand, patted it lightly, and said, "Ah Jiao, if I'm gone, I really don't know what to do."
Ying Zheng smiled pretentiously, didn't talk to Liu Che any more, just advised him to rest more, Ying Zheng thought that the people Li Yannian invited should be almost there, so he took the opportunity to leave the palace.
Ying Zheng got into the car, and instead of going back to Jiaofangdian, he sent someone to go directly to Xuanshi Pavilion.
When Yingzheng arrived, almost all the people had come. When everyone saw Yingzheng approaching, they all fell silent at the same time, then bowed down and said: "My humble minister pays homage to the empress."
Ying Zheng didn't ask them to get up immediately, but walked over and sat down before asking them to get up.
Li Yannian hurriedly stood behind and waited on him as usual, except that usually the emperor is the one sitting next to him, but now it is the empress.
"Zhang Tang."
When Zhang Tang heard Ying Zheng calling his name, he quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "My humble minister is here."
Ying Zheng said: "You must have heard about Wang Hui's matter. I will entrust you with full responsibility for this matter... The emperor's military prestige and the Han army's discipline all depend on you."
Zhang Tang is a sensible person. When he heard Ying Zheng's words, he secretly remembered that the empress meant to deal with it strictly and not to give Wang Hui a chance. It seemed that Wang Hui was going to die this time.
Zhang Tang quickly responded, and Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then waved and said, "It's none of your business here, you can step back."
Zhang Tang knelt down to thank him, and then respectfully withdrew from the announcement room.
All his actions and speeches just now were treated as if he treated the emperor, and even more humble to please. Although everyone seemed a little contemptuous, I have to say that the empress sitting in this position, no matter what she said or did, she was really like a country. Your feeling.
Zhang Tang of Yingzheng left, took a look at the crowd, and said, "Masters must be thinking, why should I call you to the proclamation room? I don't like to go around in circles either, it's because of the Huns' fight .”
As he spoke, he stood up, walked down, and said: "Maybe you are very strange. I was still saying in Chengming Palace just now that there is nothing to make a fuss about in the letter of war from the Huns... It was just a rhetoric to appease the court. Failure to cope with this battle is not only about the comfort of the big Han border people, but also about the face of the big man. Since the adoption of the peace strategy, the Han people are the cowards hiding behind women in the eyes of the Huns!"
At this point, Ying Zheng looked at Li Guang and said, "General Li, you haven't fought the Huns for many years, do you still want to fight them?"
Li Guang also looked at Ying Zheng, and said: "Don't say whether you want to or not, the humble general is a soldier, and there is no soldier who doesn't want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Seeing the Huns so rampant, I, Li Guang, hehe, really I want to make them cry and cry!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Then the emperor gave you this chance this time."
"Your Majesty?" Li Guang said, "Has your Majesty recovered from his illness? Have you thought about how to fight the Huns?"
Ying Zheng said: "The Holy Majesty is not in good health and is resting. You should not be too tired, so please convey it to me and everyone."
Li Guang was shallow-minded, and really thought that these words were said by the emperor, and the empress was just passing them on, but other people didn't think so, especially those who were more thoughtful like Dou Ying, Dongfang Shuo, and Zhu Fuyan, and they knew it was prevarication. words.
But they thought this way in their hearts, but none of them showed it. Now the enemy needs a backbone to take the lead. If it is not Yingzheng who stands up now, then it will be Tian Fu, the queen mother, or someone who is already ambitious. Liu An, the long-standing king of Huainan.
No matter which one it is, it is not the situation they want to see. There are many parties in the court itself, and there are many undercurrents. The people who were ready to move were stunned with fright.
Wei Qing would not doubt Ying Zheng, after all, he is an honest man, and without Ying Zheng's promotion, he is now a humble cavalry slave who has no bright future, let alone a show of ambition.
Ying Zheng walked to the front of the map and said, "My lords, you can take a look and see why the Great Han has the Great Wall, but the Huns can still fight from the north to the Heshuo Grassland."
As he spoke, he scratched his hand on the map. The Huns were shaped like a sharp knife, which had been extending down from the north and inserted into the Heshuo Grassland. The tip of the knife was pointing downward. Chang'an, which He Shuo is sending down, may be violated at any time.
Li Guang took the lead and said: "Because the Huns are brave and good at fighting, their horses are good, their weapons are good, they believe in the Kunlun God, and they are also very respectful of the Hun King, and they will not be afraid of the enemy when they are in battle."
Ying Zheng nodded, but turned to look at Wei Qing, and said, "Wei Qing, what do you think?"
Wei Qing did not expect that among so many ministers, Ying Zheng would ask himself what he thought, fearing that he was not experienced enough and would make people laugh if he said it, so he replied cautiously: "I agree with General Li very much, but there is one more point... "
Wei Qing paused and continued: "The reason why the Huns are tough is that they live differently from the Han people. The Huns can drag all their belongings away with a single horse, but the Han people can't. Weaving is a rooted life, and the Huns can attack from any point on the Great Wall, making it hard to defend against.”
After hearing what he said, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What Wei Qing said is exactly what the emperor meant. The reason why the Huns are so powerful is because of their elite cavalry. The Great Wall is so long that they can break through from any point. The fixed route makes it impossible for the defenders of the border town to defend against. In fact, we can also..."
After hearing this, Han Anguo said, "What does the empress mean... let us also adopt the Huns' battle plan?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "That's right. The Huns are very arrogant. They expected the big man to be weak and incompetent, so they will fight. This time, the Han army will take the initiative to attack the Huns! Let them be caught off guard."
As soon as Yingzheng's voice fell, everyone began to chat in low voices. For so many years in the Han Dynasty, since Gao Zu was besieged by the Huns, no one dared to provoke the Huns, let alone beat them. Start a war.
"The 30 troops returned without success," Ying Zheng opened his mouth again, and said, "This time, I will give you another 30 soldiers, all equipped with good horses, and become 30 cavalry. Go out of the Great Wall in three directions, adopt the strategy of the Huns, run and attack, and take the initiative to attack the Huns."
Yingzheng paused for a moment, and this time his tone was a bit cold like in Chengming Palace just now, and he said: "I don't care what your route is, or where you plan to fight, the only thing is that if you see the Xiongnu, you will kill them." I will fight, fight hard, no matter whether it is a loss of soldiers or generals, I must show the momentum of the Han army, so that the Huns will start to fear the Han people!"
When everyone heard Ying Zheng's words, they all felt a kind of enthusiasm rushing up to the top of their heads. Although they are not at the border all the year round, no matter whether they are generals or civil servants, who doesn't hate the Huns?If it weren't for the fact that the marriage can maintain the so-called peace, they would have long wanted to have a hearty fight.
Li Guang immediately said: "This time, the humble general will never let the Huns slip away from under his nose!"
Ying Zheng said: "Now that Wang Hui is in prison, and Han Anguo is also the imperial censor, only General Li Guang can lead the army, and two more generals are needed..."
As he said, he cast his eyes on everyone and did not give them time to reflect. It seemed that he had already made preparations and had already thought about the candidate, and said: "Gongsun Ao, Wei Qing."
"The humble general is here!"
Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing came out in response, and everyone was a little surprised. Judging from what Ying Zheng meant, it seemed that he wanted Wei Qing, a newcomer, to provoke a [-]-strong army.
Ying Zheng said: "You also each lead one hundred thousand soldiers."
"This……"
Wei Qing was a little hesitant, and said: "Going back to the empress, although the humble general wants to contribute to the country, but the humble general has no actual combat experience, and he is only a bodyguard. I am afraid that he will lead a hundred thousand soldiers... It will make everyone dissatisfied, so..."
Ying Zheng raised his hand, Wei Qing stopped his voice immediately, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "I don't care if anyone is dissatisfied, this is not within the scope of my jurisdiction... If they are dissatisfied, you have to try to make them do so." , if you don't have this ability, why would the emperor want to use you?"
Wei Qing was a little surprised, but immediately bowed down and said, "No, I understand!"
Only then did Yingzheng look satisfied, and then said: "Dou Ying, Zhufu Yan, Dongfang Shuo."
"The humble minister is here."
When the three of them heard Ying Zheng calling them, they immediately stepped out.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "I want you to use your pens to guide the court's public opinion... Don't discuss the matter of sending troops to the Huns in public in the court, because you are afraid that some people will be as timid as a mouse and afraid of the Huns. You must call some literati, whether they believe in Whether Huang Lao or believe in Confucianism, let them use their pens to guide the court's public opinion, and don't let a bunch of short-sighted moths scare people."
"promise."
When the Queen Mother came out from Liu Che and returned to the East Palace, she saw the handmaid's pass, saying that Prime Minister Tian Fu had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that the Queen Mother finally came back, Tian Fu said: "Good sister, you are back, my brother is going to die!"
The Queen Mother was in a bad mood just now because Liu Che asked her to avoid talking to Ying Zheng. When she saw Tian Fu, she said sarcastically, "What's the matter with you?"
Tian Fu said: "Sister, you don't know, now the Empress has summoned a group of ministers to discuss secretly in the Xuanshi Pavilion! Even me, the prime minister, is not allowed to enter, isn't this going to turn the world upside down?"
"Secret discussion?" The Queen Mother said, "What is the secret discussion?"
Tian Fu said: "Good sister, brother, if I know, should I be anxious? But I'm thinking, probably thinking about the countermeasures against the Huns."
The Queen Mother sneered, "Against the Huns? Just rely on Chen Ajiao?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand, she didn't take it seriously, and said: "Don't look at him when he was in the Chengming Palace, hey, that's a majesty, he really regards himself as the mother of a country, but he is a woman after all, Can a woman turn her back on the sky, and discuss the use of troops with others?"
Tian Fu leaned over, lowered his voice, and said, "Sister, don't forget... Empress Lu."
The Queen Mother was startled when she heard this, her eyes widened in an instant, and she said with a "thud" in her heart, "You think Chen Ajiao might be Empress Lu?"
"It doesn't matter whether he can be the second empress Lu," Tian Fu said, "the current momentum is very wrong. It stands to reason that the emperor fell ill, and I am the prime minister. Even if my prime minister cannot convince everyone, isn't it? And what about you, the queen mother? When will it be the queen's turn to decide? Moreover, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads to him, and Wang Hui was arrested as soon as he stepped on the stage, and he wanted to behead him. Since ancient times, there has been only one person who has the power to kill, reward and punish, who is the emperor..."
These few words were right in the heart of the Queen Mother, the more she heard the more the Queen Mother became more frightened, and said: "Then...then what should we do now?"
Tian Fu seemed to have already thought about what to say next, and said: "This momentum is very bad. If it continues like this, the emperor's illness will be cured, and their Dou family will be revived."
The Queen Mother was even more impatient, and said, "Then do you have a good idea?"
Tian Fu said: "I have a solution, but I need your approval, sister."
"Hurry up and say it!"
Tian Fu said: "The method is to prevent the queen from doing anything to the Huns, and then mobilize the princes to fight the Huns."
"Princes and soldiers?"
The Queen Mother was taken aback when she heard this, and said: "This is not good... think about the Seven Kings' Rebellion, if the princes and kings are asked to dispatch troops, then they will take the opportunity to attack the capital, what should we do?"
Tian Fu said: "Sister, you are so confused. Don't you remember Liu An, the king of Huainan? Their family always wanted to marry us, do you remember? At that time, it was because Mrs. Dou intervened and insisted on letting you I agreed to Chen Yu's marriage, but now it's all right, Mrs. Dou has lost her backing, and my sister doesn't have to take her promise of marriage seriously. Let's continue to marry Liu An. Now that we have become a family, Liu An has no reason Not helping us, is it?"
The Queen Mother frowned, as if she was thinking, and said: "Although you say that, but Liu An... King Huainan and the Emperor are considered to have enmity. Didn't Liu An's father die a terrible death?"
Tian Fu said: "It's been a matter of how many years, sister, don't worry, Liu An has told me many times that he wants to get married, that is quite sincere. We married the Huainan King, naturally It's justifiable to use their soldiers and money! Isn't it?"
The Queen Mother said: "Is there really such a good thing? Don't lure wolves into the house then."
Tian Fu himself had the idea of luring wolves into the house. If he could take Huainan Wang Liu An to the throne at this time, then he would be a hero.
Tian Fu didn't expect that his sister was quite thoughtful at the critical moment, so he continued to persuade: "Hey, sister, what a critical point this is, do you really want to see the Dou family come back to life? Look at the queen's arrogance. Just now in the Chengming Palace, did he take you seriously? The empress dowager is no longer here and he still looks like this. If the emperor recovers from illness, he will be regarded as a hero, queen. Instigate the emperor to deal with you, what should I do?"
Although the queen mother had some thoughts, she couldn't say anything to Tian Fu after all. Tian Fu knew what she was most afraid of, and how deep her enmity with the Dou family was. After hearing this, the queen mother naturally drummed in her heart. She was afraid that Ying Zheng was really what Tian Fu said. , got the power, to be Empress Lu.
The Queen Mother said: "You...you let me think about it again, and I'm not in a hurry for a day."
Tian Fu knew that he should not be too eager for success, so he had to say: "Okay, sister, you can think about it quickly, the empress will not give you time to deal with him."
The Queen Mother nodded, and said: "You go back first, and then go to check Huainan King's tone and see if he really doesn't hold grudges."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Tian Fu went out of the East Palace and went to Xuanshi Pavilion for another stroll. The place was already dispersed and there was no one there. Tian Fu wanted to find out what they were talking about inside, but when he asked the servants and maids, they all said they didn’t know. The empress had a secret discussion with the ministers, and all the palace people were dismissed.
After all, Yingzheng was Yingzheng, not as careless as Liu Che. Last time, the Huns turned around and ran away because of the leak. This time, the same mistakes must not be repeated, so Yingzheng asked Li Yannian to call everyone over for a secret discussion.
When everyone was about to resign, Ying Zheng also specifically asked that this matter need to be kept secret. After all, it was a surprise attack, and it could not be done with great fanfare. Without the suddenness, it would be meaningless.
So Tian Fu didn't find out anything at all. No matter how smart Tian Fu's calculations were, he could only think that he was discussing how to deal with the Huns.
Wei Qihou and Dou Ying stayed behind when everyone was leaving. Seeing that he would not leave, Ying Zheng said, "Is there anything else Wei Qihou can do?"
Dou Ying hesitated for a moment, then said: "My minister has two things that I want to report to the empress."
"Uncle, please tell me."
Dou Ying then said: "Since Emperor Gaozu, whenever a large-scale military force is used abroad, he will prevent the princes from taking the opportunity to rebel... Although the world is peaceful now, the princes have been weakened a lot since the Seven Kings Rebellion, but it is not without this Possibly, I hope the empress can consider it."
Ying Zheng nodded after hearing this, and said, "I have also thought about this matter, but I didn't pay attention to it for a while, what can uncle do?"
Dou Ying listened and smiled. Ying Zheng saw that his smile didn't look like a fake smile or a sneer, but he really found it interesting, so he couldn't help asking: "It seems that uncle has a plan in mind?"
Dou Ying said: "This method...although it is a little bit unfair, if the Empress thinks it is feasible, she will probably bear a lot of infamy."
What Yingzheng feared the most in his life was infamy. Successors would have to comment on merits and demerits, so what's the use of infamy or sagehood for a while.
Ying Zheng also laughed, and said, "I'm not afraid of that, Uncle, but it's okay."
When a feudal lord becomes an emperor in a fiefdom, there must be a lot of retainers under his command. These retainers include scribes who give advice, and naturally there are also tyrants who are green and grassy. No matter what kind, as long as they are valued, they must have a lot of family property. It can also be said that, The degree to which they are valued can be divided from the family property...
Dou Ying paused and said with a smile: "Now the imperial mausoleum has found a place and is about to be built. Although the geomantic omen is good, it is... that the population is sparse and deserted. The empress can order that all places be People whose wealth exceeds the limit must move their family to the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum within a time limit... Firstly, to gain popularity, the more people there are, the place will be at its peak. Secondly, these highly regarded scribes are worried about what to do relocate, or how to avoid relocation, there is no time to think about anything else."
Ying Zheng found it very interesting after listening to it, and said: "A good way is a good way, but it hurts a little bit. No wonder my uncle said that I would bear a bad name. I guess there will be many people who scold me... just like what my uncle said. , I will send someone to give you a memorial in a while, and bring it to your majesty."
Dou Ying said: "There is a second matter... The second matter is about the surprise attack on the Huns by an army of 30."
Ying Zheng said, "I don't know if uncle has any good ideas."
Dou Ying said: "Perhaps saying this will make the empress unhappy, but after thinking about it, I still have to say..."
Ying Zheng said, "As long as it's reasonable, it doesn't matter."
Dou Ying nodded, and then said: "The empress just now let Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Gongsun Ao each lead [-] cavalry to go out of the Great Wall to attack the Xiongnu. This strategy of running and raiding is very much approved by my ministers, but... The empress made a big taboo."
"What is it?"
Yingzheng was stunned. He asked himself that there was nothing he didn't expect. After all, he had been beating the Xiongnu for a long time. When he was the first emperor, he was also beating the Huns. Zhe Hu, this is the Great Wall.
It's just that Ying Zheng doesn't know, he thinks from the emperor's point of view, while Dou Ying thinks from the courtier's point of view, and Dou Ying is as meticulous and quick-witted as dust, but he doesn't like to fight, otherwise he would not be the one who only has a name , but there are no idle officials with official positions.
Dou Ying said respectfully: "The emperor sent 30 troops to ambush the Huns, and finally let the Huns escape without success. The empress also sent 30 troops to surprise the Huns... The empress can't help but think about it, what you did , isn't it the same as the emperor?"
Ying Zheng vaguely thought of something in his mind, and couldn't help being surprised.
Just listen to Dou Ying continuing: "Ambush is a delicate job, and raids really need to pay attention to speed. Although the two are very different, they have one thing in common, that is, don't have too many people! If there are too many people, they are not good at unification. Just imagine 10 people." Let’s not talk about where to find so many excellent horses to equip human cavalry, this number alone cannot be used for surprise attacks.”
Although Ying Zheng didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Dou Ying was right, he only thought of momentum and forgot about it.
Ying Zheng said: "Uncle is right. According to Uncle, how many people are needed?"
Dou Ying made a gesture with his hand, and it was still "three", and said: "Thirty thousand, a total of 3 people, three generals each leading [-] troops, and ran to make a surprise attack."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Just do what uncle said."
"promise."
Yingzheng came out of the Xuanshi Pavilion, stood on the steps in front of the Xuanshi Pavilion, looked down, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a sense of seeing the sun behind the clouds, the depression in his heart these days suddenly opened up, and it was not in vain to waste himself in the Jiaofang Palace Such a long time.
Ying Zheng enjoys the feeling of playing power, and only at this time, he feels that he is a real living person, and the feeling of blood boiling seems to be exciting.
Wei Qing has become a general from Jianzhangjian, and he is evenly matched with veterans like Li Guanggong and Sun Ao.
After all, this time the troops were divided into three groups, the army had no commander, and the three of them were on equal footing. It was inevitable that there would be some comparison among the soldiers. Not to mention the parachutist Li Guang, even Gongsun Ao's achievements alone could not be compared with Wei Qing.
Wei Qing thought that he was going to go to war soon, so he had to say goodbye to his sister Wei Zifu. After all, going to war was unpredictable, but this time the division of troops into three groups was done in secret, and it was inconvenient to disclose it to Wei Zifu.
Wei Qing took it as if he was going to visit the Holy Majesty, and took a look at Wei Zifu along the way.
Liu Che drank the medicine and fell asleep. Wei Zifu finished serving him and cleaned up the medicine bowl before he was free.
Because Liu Che had a headache and was afraid of making noise, the servants and maids were all driven outside, and Wei Zifu was left alone inside, so after Liu Che fell asleep, Wei Zifu just slacked off and sat down.
Ordinarily, a slave like her could not sit on the edge of the couch. Wei Zifu stared at Liu Che's face for a while. Liu Chesheng's good face was not only upright, but also heroic. , which woman can resist such Liu Che?
Wei Zifu sighed. He had been by Liu Che's side for so long, and he had done his best. He hoped that one day he would be able to rise to the top and escape the bitter life of being a slave.
It's just that Wei Zifu couldn't get what he wanted. She looked at Liu Che's face, sighed again, slowly lowered her head, and gently buried her face on Liu Che's chest, as if very intimate.
Wei Zifu could only do this while Liu Che was asleep. Although Liu Che was flirtatious on weekdays, he did not touch the people around Yingzheng. Wei Zifu came out of Jiaofang Palace, so Liu Che naturally did not touch her.
When Wei Qing arrived at the door, he saw a lot of palace people piled up outside, because almost everyone knew Wei Qing, and Liu Che also said that Wei Qing didn't need to be notified, so no one stopped him.
Wei Qing walked in, turned to the inner room, and saw Wei Zifu leaning on Liu Che's chest affectionately at a glance.
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and pulled Wei Zifu out.
When Wei Zifu was pulled up, he was scared out of his wits. If someone saw this kind of action and told the empress, he would still be alive.
Wei Zifu saw clearly that it was Wei Qing, and immediately let out a breath, but still felt that his heartbeat was hard to calm down for a while.
Wei Qing lowered his voice and said, "Sister, what are you doing? You...why are you so confused! If someone else sees it, what's the deal?"
Wei Zifu's heart jumped violently, but his face was very calm, he said: "Isn't there no one around here?"
"you……"
Wei Qing couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he finally had to say: "That's the emperor, sister, who do you like?"
Wei Zifu sneered and said, "Who else can you like us maids who serve the emperor like us?"
Wei Qing choked for a moment, and said: "In short, let's forget about it. If the emperor also likes my sister, one day my sister will do her best after being canonized. If the emperor doesn't have this intention, my sister must never..."
Wei Zifu interrupted him and said: "Wei Qing, you are always like this, do you know that if you don't take the initiative to fight for anything, you will get nothing in the end, and it is impossible for others to hold good things on your head of."
"I……"
Before Wei Qing could speak again, he saw a person entering the hall, and immediately stopped talking. Wei Zifu followed Wei Qing's gaze and saw that the person who came was the empress, and he didn't know if the empress heard what he said. The three souls and seven souls were frightened a lot, and their faces turned pale. They knelt down, coughed and greeted Ying Zheng, and said
