Chapter 0425: Huang Long Comes Out Again
Xiping 4th year, May
Nanyang Sui County, well out of the Yellow Dragon
The contradiction between the DPRK and China has reached an irreconcilable point, and the most suffocating sigh is Cao Cao and others, who originally had the strong support of the Son of Heaven, and they did not need to spend so much time on these old ministers of Cai Yong, but since the Son of Heaven changed his nature, he began to implement various internal affairs, and put the center of the temple in the domestic people, their advantages have disappeared, and in the temple, they are obviously not as good as the old ministers composed of these three princes.
Even more so after losing the support of the Son of Heaven.
However, the recent emptiness of the treasury has given Cao Cao and others a new opportunity, they feel that the two southern countries, there are many raw materials, such as timber, gold, spices and the like, these things, they usually pay tribute is less than 30% of their own gains, if they can completely conquer the two southern countries, send the prime minister, instead of continuing to maintain a subordinate relationship between each other, I think they will definitely be able to enrich the treasury through the taxes there.
Cai Yong is very disdainful of this, doesn't he need military expenses to mobilize troops? Don't you need to spend the strength of the treasury? The Son of Heaven is now completely focused on the country, if you want to use troops, it is absolutely impossible, in the court, in private, the two factions are fighting more and more fiercely, and even some local officials are suspected of coming in, however, the northern and southern armies are still stable, and Zhang Wen does not dare to borrow the strength of the military.
Sitting on the top, looking at the ministers who were arguing endlessly below, the red-faced ministers, the Son of Heaven frowned, and began to feel a little uneasy in his heart, the battle of the ministers was the result of his intervention, but now this life-and-death situation is not what the Son of Heaven wants to see, the new ministers are still under the command of the old ministers, and their quarrels will not affect normal political affairs, but now, many political affairs in the temple have also stagnated, and everything is not going well.
The Son of Heaven pondered how to resolve the contradictions between the two of them. The contradiction can never be solved, even if the old minister's faction collapses, there will be new forces to compete with Cao Cao and others, this is known to the Son of Heaven, but now their contradictions are concentrated in Funan and Zhenla, and these two countries, it seems that they still have to think of a solution, if they stay like this, there will inevitably be great turmoil in the future.
However, the Son of Heaven didn't think of any way to deal with it, he wanted to hear the opinions of Guo Jia and Xun Yu, but these two people had already become the core members of the new faction, and their remarks were full of the remarks of the new faction.
He slowly thought that during the Jianning period, his father always kept one or two unsociable people by his side, and he could listen to his advice at such a time, so it turned out that this was the case, the Son of Heaven suddenly missed Jia Xulai who was far away in Ningzhou, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, he originally thought that they could become his henchmen, but now it seems that Xun Yu, Xun Yu and these people still can't maintain neutrality in the battle.
Even Guo Jia, who was personally taught by the prince, couldn't do this.
It seems that in the future, he will put Ma Jun and Jia Xu by his side, the Son of Heaven thought, his eyes swept over the many courtiers below, but he didn't notice that when his gaze swept over Liu Mo, Liu Mo seemed a little hesitant, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, so he was able to take that group of heroic Donghao people, under the eyes of the Goguryeo people who were eyeing each other, survived for more than ten years and were not wiped out.
At the same time, he was also the first king in the entire eastern region to follow the Han dynasty, and did not even let the Han use any force.
He saw the troubles of the Son of Heaven, and also saw the chaos of the temple now, he really wanted to be able to do his best for the Son of Heaven, however, he was cautious, cowardly, and a little timid, he never dared to come forward to speak, he hesitated in his heart, the Son of Heaven valued himself very much, and even, gave himself his current position, and did not regard himself as a barbarian, he should be reciprocated, but.... He raised his head, looked around, and then looked at the Son of Heaven, and hesitated in his heart.
The Son of Heaven squinted his eyes, perhaps, he should let Huang Zhong, the captain of the Navy Military Academy, go out to suppress Funan and Zhenla, and let the two countries pay more tribute, today's treasury, if you want to use force on a large scale, it can only be regarded as paving the way for the future, making a preparation in advance, he thought so in his heart, and was about to speak, when he saw a person slowly walking out of the ministers, came to the center, and bowed to the Son of Heaven.
Seeing this person come out, everyone's faces were a little frightened, and they hurriedly returned to their positions.
This person is none other than Liu Mo, the servant of the Imperial Palace.
Liu Mo has a lot of words on weekdays, but when he really entered the core of the temple, he no longer spoke in the temple as in the past, and everyone relaxed their vigilance against him, but they didn't expect that this guy would come forward today, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others looked at him with some vigilance, in their eyes, Liu Mo belonged to the old minister's faction, he was Zhang Wen's former official, and he had a good relationship with Cai Yong and others.
The Son of Heaven also looked at him with some doubts, the Son of Heaven transferred him into the temple, because he was shocked by the words he said to Zhuge Liang, however, he was cowardly by nature, the Son of Heaven knew, and he didn't hope that he could play much role in the temple, facing the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Liu Mo said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the matter of Funan and Zhenla, I have to solve it today, I see the ministers fighting, not thinking about the people, this is a big taboo for the country!" ”
Liu Mo said, turned his head suddenly, looked at the ministers, and said: "The ministers want to impeach Situ Cui Wei, Cui Wei is the head of the three princes, the arm of the Son of Heaven, who ignores political affairs all day long, does not know what to do, and should be severely punished!" ”
After he said this, Cui Yu, who was squinting his eyes, woke up instantly, and looked at Liu Mo with some surprise, the ministers were shocked, what kind of people is Cui Gong, four generations of old ministers, even Cao Cao and these people dare not confront him face to face, you guy, do you really have such guts? Liu Mo took a deep breath, suppressed his beating heart, hid his deep fear, and said: "The minister wants to impeach Sikong Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi can't understand finances, and he dares to go to Haikou, now the treasury is empty, and he can't make ends meet, this is Lu Zhi's fault!"
"The minister wants to impeach the lieutenant Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen disregards the national conditions, does not think about the people, and is bent on coveting meritorious deeds, such people are not enough to be the third prince!"
Zhang Wen's eyes widened, looking at the old official in front of him, are you impeaching your former commander like this, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the crowd of the world?
"The minister wants to impeach Sinong Cao Cao, Cao Cao has been in the dynasty for a year, and he has not made any meritorious deeds, but he ignores Nongsang and fights with the old ministers to seize power...."
"The minister wants to impeach Guanglu Xun Xun..."
"The minister wants to impeach Shang Shu and order Xing Hao ....."
At that moment, Liu Mo opened his mouth, the ministers were dumbfounded, their eyes widened, looking at him who was extremely cowardly on weekdays, as if he was possessed by a prince, and began to impeach in front of the hundred officials, the Son of Heaven was also stunned, he really didn't expect that Liu Mo would dare to do this, he didn't know if such an act offended the princes of the Manchu Dynasty? In the future, even the Taiwei will no longer help him to press, the more Liu Mo said, the more energetic he became, he looked at the ministers, and impeached him for nearly two hours.
The ministers were pale and speechless.
The most shocking thing is still those old ministers, this is not the imperial history Liu Mo at all, this is the combination of the late Liu Taiwei and the late Situ Wanggong! Since the death of Old Lady Liu, where have the ministers seen such a person who can speak? There is still the demeanor of a prince!
After Liu Mo finished speaking, he looked at the ministers, many people looked at him angrily, but they didn't speak, they were afraid, as soon as they opened their mouths, they caused Liu Mo to continue to speak, and the happiest son of heaven who sat on the top position, he was overjoyed, but he didn't show it.
"Liu Jun is just now, and he completely criticizes the ministers as mediocre, I don't know what Liu Jun can do about the situation in the south?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.
His words were to force Liu Mo to stand in line, and the ministers did not want to have a neutral person like Prince He Zi.
Liu Mo was dripping with sweat on his forehead, he didn't pay attention to Cao Cao, but looked at the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven saw that his face was extremely hesitant, he hesitated for a long time, a long time, a long time, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the two countries in person as an envoy to make them return to ......"
After he finished speaking, the ministers laughed contemptuously, who do you think you are? One person wants to conquer the two southwestern countries? Do you think you're still in Buyeo?
In Buyeo, the other party surrendered so easily, because there were tens of thousands of the most elite troops led by Captain Zhang stationed not far away, and for Funan and Zhenla, the Han could only use less than 10,000 sailors, and there were some county soldiers, do you think you can bluff the other party with these people?
Liu Mo raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not going alone, please ask Your Majesty to order the Taiwei to lead a hundred people to Yangzhou, and the northern army of the county soldiers is called 50,000." ”
"The two countries don't know the truth, and when they see the captain coming to Yang, they will definitely not dare to disobey..."
Hearing Liu Mo's words, the Son of Heaven thought deeply, thought for a long time, and then laughed, he stood up and walked to Liu Mo's side, he knew in his heart how difficult it was for such a cowardly and timid person to propose to go to the two countries alone, he was also very scared in his heart, but he still came forward, and the Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and held his hand.
"Jun, I am the Marquis of Mine!"
Liu Mo looked at the Son of Heaven, the panic in his eyes could not be hidden, his whole body was still trembling, but his eyes gradually became firm, he whispered something to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven was stunned, and also whispered a few words, Liu Mo laughed at this time, the surrounding ministers were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what he talked about with the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven returned to the upper position, so he agreed to Liu Mo's proposal, and the ministers did not object.
However, more of them are waiting to see Liu Mo mess things up.
The Son of Heaven ordered again: "The Taiwei is old and inconvenient to travel far, so he ordered Sun Jian, the Marquis of the Northern Army, to lead a hundred people to Yangzhou....", Zhang Wen is already very old, and the time to come to the court on weekdays is gradually decreasing, the Son of Heaven is afraid that this important minister will never come back once he goes, and Sun Jian is young and strong, and he has always complained because he has no opportunity to make meritorious contributions, not to mention that he is still from Yangzhou, so that he can go to Yangzhou, maybe he can deter everyone more than Zhang Wen.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty? Zhang Wen asked in shock, trembling, walked to the center, looked at the Son of Heaven a little blankly, and asked, "Your Majesty is too old to be used?" ”
"Definitely.... The prince is the important minister of the country... Such a trivial matter will be handed over to Sun Jian to do..."
"Your Majesty, although the minister has white hair, he is not inferior to Sun Wentai... I also hope that Your Majesty will allow the minister to go to Yangzhou in person...."
Zhang Wen looked at the Son of Heaven expectantly, his eyes were full of pleading, and the Son of Heaven suddenly couldn't bear it, but how could the southern barbarian land, so bad, and at such an age as Taiwei, be affected by the situation there? The Son of Heaven sighed, shook his head, and said: "Don't be in a hurry, if there is such a thing in the future, send the prince to retreat!" ”
The ministers walked out one by one, Zhang Wen stood in place sluggishly, until the eunuch called him, he reacted, looked around, there was no one, he threw the crutches in his hand hard, pushed away the eunuch who wanted to support him, and walked into the distance.
At this time, Sun Wentai received the order of the Son of Heaven, he was extremely happy, and when he got on the platform, he summoned the most elite 100 pro-army, and was reprimanding, these northern soldiers had no chance to make meritorious contributions for a long time, and they complained on weekdays, and they were able to go out today, and they were extremely happy.
At the same time, Liu Mo was also ready to leave, he took the chariots and horses and the retinue arranged by the Son of Heaven, came to the city gate, and waited quietly, he went to the two countries, the two countries were originally very respectful to the Han Dynasty, but since Cao Cao and these people began to publish all kinds of unkind remarks about them, their relationship with the Han Dynasty also deteriorated instantly, and they re-recruited a large number of soldiers and made a posture of resistance.
These news were revealed to them by Cao Cao and others on their own initiative, just to force them to start a war with the Han Dynasty and give the temple a reason.
Therefore, it is very dangerous for him to go alone like this, he is extremely afraid in his heart, and he is also waiting for everyone in the court to see him off, but he has been waiting here for several hours, and no one has come to see him off, he looked at Luoyang City lonely, turned around, and was about to leave, suddenly, there was a shout from the rear, it was shouting Liu Gong, he turned his head, it was Zhuge Liang and Se Yujia.
Liu Mo laughed at this time, the two walked to his side, panting, Liu Mo smiled and said: "I thought you didn't want to come to see me, now, most of the ministers hate me, and many people don't dare to associate with me..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang rushed into his arms, Liu Mo trembled, hugged Zhuge Liang, and comforted: "Don't worry... The big man is powerful, and they will never dare to dispose of me....."
Zhuge Liang raised his head, there were some tears in his eyes, and he said: "Please take care, don't abandon Liang and leave, within the sun, Liang is only with Liu Gongqin...."
Liu Mo smiled.
"Your Majesty...."
"Huh?"
"If the minister can't come back like this, I hope that His Majesty can take care of Zhuge Liang, he is young and has no relatives, and the disciples don't look down on him very much, if he can make him worship Lu Gong as a teacher, the minister has no complaints, and ....."
"Okay."
......
Sun Jian and everyone went out of the city, riding a high-headed horse, his heart was extremely happy, this time to Yangzhou, if the two countries were not convinced, he would lead the Yangzhou warriors to conquer, where the county soldiers and the navy were enough, with them, they could definitely easily break through Funan Zhenla, after all, their combat effectiveness was extremely low, and when they fought with the Han Dynasty before, the Han soldiers did not even have any casualties.
He was thinking about it, when suddenly, someone behind him shouted, "Sun Wentai!! ”
Sun Jian reined in the horse, turned around, but saw a person standing on the head of the city, "whoosh~~", an arrow galloped in, Sun Jian didn't have time to react, the arrow hit his chest, Sun Jian fell off the horse, the surrounding soldiers were stunned, they roared angrily, raised their heads and rushed towards the city, at the head of the city, there was an old man, that person was the old lady Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen held a strong bow, stared wide-eyed, and looked down.
"Stop!"
Sun Jian said, slowly got up from the ground, he took the feather arrow, looked at it seriously, the arrow went to the head, and it was not lethal, but the huge force still knocked him off the horse, he held the arrow suspiciously, raised his head, and looked at Zhang Wen on the head of the city in the distance.
"Sun Wentai!!"
"I'm ??? old"
"I'm ?! old"
"I'm ?!! old"
Zhang Wen roared at him, Sun Jian was stunned, bowed to the head of the city, and roared: "Taiwei is strong!! ”
"Hahaha~~~~" Zhang Wen raised his head and laughed wildly, suddenly, he was stunned, his eyes widened, and he fell heavily towards the back, holding the strong bow tightly in his hand.
"Captain !!!!!"
