Wei Juan has been despising Yunxiao very much recently, and he has every reason to despise it because Yunxiao guessed wrong, and he greatly overestimated the IQ of the Huns. After the Xiongnu envoys arrived in Chang'an, they did not make any trade demands, but made a request that made the Han government and the opposition extremely angry. Marry a real princess of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Qi was angry, the Queen Mother was angry, and the princes and courtiers of the Han Dynasty were angry. Even during the siege of Baideng, the Huns did not dare to make such a request. Although many princesses have been married to the Han Dynasty over the years, most of them are distant relatives of the royal family, and more are palace maids who have been named princesses.

When has there been a precedent for a real Han princess to go out of the jam.

Everyone had reason to be angry, but many were panicking. The concubines who have princesses in the harem are in a mess, especially those who have princesses of the right age to marry.

Almost all the unmarried princesses of the right age are in a hurry to find their in-laws, so they are going to rob people on the street, as long as the man is almost not lacking arms and legs, he will be able to general.

Chang'an's court discussion seemed to be boiling, and the ministers were noisy in the propaganda room all day long. annoyed Liu She, and finally Liu Qi issued a holy decree. Zhou Yafu, Liu She, and Dou Ying met at Tangquan Palace.

Chengguang Hall of Tangquan Palace.

Liu Qi leaned on the ground, his eyes on the three ministers kneeling below.

"Let's talk about what the outcome of the court meeting will be. Don't worry, I want to listen to the courtiers. ”

Liu Qi's voice was slightly hoarse, and it was obvious that he had been worrying about this matter recently.

The courtiers talked about it. are accusing the Huns of not knowing what to do. Greedy. If my Han really makes peace with the princess of the Han family, then how can the face of the court exist. However, some courtiers said that the imperial court should consider the construction of Xiongnu envoys. The Hun cavalry came and went like the wind, and it was difficult for the counties and counties to defend the border areas. If the Xiongnu disturbed the border for a long time, then the losses would be very huge. ”

Liu She said cautiously, and peeked at Liu Qi's expression from time to time. For fear of provoking this emperor again, his majesty vomited three liters of blood, and if that was the case, his sin would be great.

The flames of the candles flickered brightly, causing Liu Qi's face to be lit up and down. It looks very weird.

"Oh, that's the opinion of the courtiers. What about you? Let's talk about it."

None of the three old foxes interjected first, you look at me, I look at you. Then look at the nose, mouth, and heart. An old monk's posture.

"The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials. Prime Minister, you speak first. ”

Liu Qi waited for a long time and saw that the three old guys didn't mean to speak, so they had to name them one by one.

"Lao Chen thinks that it is unprecedented for my Han princess to marry the Huns. If the Xiongnu were compromised in this way, perhaps the Huns would gain an inch in the future. I don't know what kind of demands will be made. What if the Huns offered to cede the land next time?

I want to think that the seven countries competed for power during the Warring States period. The Qin State was strong in armor. Other nations were often forced to cede cities by force. As a result, Qiang Qin became stronger and stronger. The countries became weaker and weaker, and this led to the situation in which the Qin Emperor ruled the world.

Therefore, the reason why Qiang Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms was because the Six Kingdoms sought peace with the land. If the six countries can join forces to defeat the enemy. Qiang Qin can only stick to Hangu one way, just think about the fiasco of Qiang Qin when he joined forces.

Therefore, the minister thought that the construction of the Xiongnu envoys should be refused. It is still appropriate to marry the Huns as a princess with the palace maid. ”

Liu She moved out of the allusions of the Warring States period, and the head of the story was the Tao. But Liu Qi still looked expressionless, which made Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu very stressed.

"Oh, the prime minister said that it is not appropriate to marry the princess far away. Then the captain said, today the speaker is not guilty. You can speak your mind freely and speak your heart. I want to listen to the truth, not empty words. ”

Zhou Yafu saw that Liu Qi had called his name, so he had to reply with a salute.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a soldier, and he doesn't know what politics is, he only knows how to fight. That's not right, please don't get angry. ”

"I have said that the speaker is not guilty, and you will say it as it is."

"No, Majesty. The minister retrieved the records of the border troubles in the last ten years, and in the second year of the previous year, the Xiongnu Shan Yu led 100,000 fine horsemen to buckle the border. More than 300,000 soldiers and civilians of our Han Dynasty were killed and wounded, and 200,000 people were plundered, and countless cattle and horses were plundered.

In the eighth year of the first century, the Xiongnu Zuo Dadu led 50,000 horsemen to buckle the border. killed and injured more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of our Han Dynasty, plundered tens of thousands of people, and countless grains, grass, cattle and horses.

In the second year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the Xiongnu Zuo Dadu led the army to attack and harass Mayi and slaughtered the city of Mayi. plundered more than 200,000 people and countless goods.

In the fourth year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the Xiongnu Dadan attacked Shuo Fangyun in the headquarters. Tushuo Fangcheng, plundered more than 100,000 people, and countless goods.

In the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, the Xiongnu left the capital of the lieutenant army attacked and disturbed Yunzhong. Countless cattle and horses were plundered, and tens of thousands of people were plundered.

The most recent was this year, when King Zuoxian's troops attacked Yunzhong Dai County. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of our Han Dynasty were killed and wounded, and more than 100,000 people were looted, and then they were intercepted and killed by Gongsun He, the general of the light car, and tens of thousands of people were recovered. But tens of thousands of Han people were still taken away.

According to a rough statistics, only the past ten years have been calculated. Nearly one million people were plundered by the Xiongnu, and many of the border towns became ghost towns.

The Han people who were plundered by the Xiongnu were in a miserable situation, and they were all slaves with shackles. Whipping and killing at every turn, the Huns often fed dogs with our big Han people. At the time of the sacrifice, a large number of my Han people were killed, and occasionally those who escaped had many traces of whipping on their bodies. I don't know how many people were devoured by the wild wolves of the grassland, and the Marquis of Lintong fled back from the grassland. If you want to know the details, you can announce the Marquis of Tong.

Our Han army was mostly foot soldiers, while the Xiongnu were mostly cavalry. The mobility and combat ability are not comparable to our Han army, and our army can only passively guard the city, allowing the Huns to plunder the countryside without any way. The minister thought that if the military system was not reformed, the cavalry would be developed. Sooner or later, all the counties and counties in my north will be ghosts, and no one will dare to live there anymore.

The minister thinks that as far as the current situation is concerned. I'm afraid that Your Majesty still has to agree to let the princess of the Han Dynasty go to make peace, otherwise the Huns will make a comeback this winter, and I am afraid that my northern counties and counties will be ruined again. ”

Liu Qi had already sat up straight when he inquired about the losses reported by Zhou Yafu, with a complicated look in his eyes. There is shame, self-blame, and heartache. Itchy China, dignified.

As a generation of kings, he cannot protect his people. This is a disgrace to a king, and what will future generations say about themselves as emperors. Cowardice, incompetence or mediocrity.

Liu Qi closed his eyes, and cloudy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

There was a tightness in his chest, and he coughed violently. Qiandu hurriedly came over to relax his back, but was pushed away by Liu Qi.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister is guilty. Please punish him. ”

Seeing this, Zhou Yafu hurriedly fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.

After a period of violent coughing and wheezing, Liu Qi's face was a little unnaturally flushed.

"Get up, I have said that those who speak today are not guilty. What you say is very faithful and very true. If I am not a minister of mine, I would never say such a thing. I don't blame you. ”

Liu Qi raised his hand and motioned for Zhou Yafu to get up.

"Dou Ying, it's time for you to speak. Tell me what you think about this. ”

"Your Majesty, what the Taiwei said is what the minister wants to say. With the current strength of our Han army, it is simply impossible to confront the Xiongnu. When the minister was suppressing the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he looked at the army of our Han army, and the strength of the northern army was really a model for our Han army. Often twice or even three times as tough as Wu and Chu allied forces without fear.

However, even such a strong soldier still could not get any advantage in front of the Huns' cavalry. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to agree to the conditions of the Xiongnu envoys. To fight against the Huns, we need to slowly figure it out, and we must first establish a number of horse farms. Only with horses can a capable cavalry be trained, and only with cavalry can it resist the attacks of the Huns. And it takes time, and what we lack most is time. ”

Dou Ying said this, and looked up at Liu Qi.

"I have said that today the speaker is not guilty. You can say it. ”

"No, Majesty. The minister thought that he could ask another person's opinion on this matter. ”

"Who?"

Liu Qi sat up straight, there are not many people who can make Dou Ying value. I don't know what kind of person this is, and if it can bring about a turnaround in this matter.

"Lintong Hou Yunxiao."

"Is that him?"

Liu Qi never expected that Dou Ying would actually mention Yun Xiao's name.

"Yes, Majesty. The Marquis of Lintong once went deep into the desert and should be very familiar with the situation of the Huns. Moreover, if you say who has the most horses in my Han, the strongest cavalry should be the Marquis of Lintong. His 100 Hun iron cavalry once killed nearly 5,000 rebels on the banks of the Yellow River, presumably His Majesty still remembers.

Chen believes that even the development of military horses must start from a rich area like Yunjia Zhuangzi. Therefore, the minister believed that His Majesty should summon the Marquis of Lintong. Talk to him. ”

If Yun Xiao is here, he will definitely greet the eight generations of Dou Ying's ancestors. This is a huge pit, supporting the princess to marry far away, no matter which family she chooses, the princess will eventually become a life-and-death enemy with that lady and that lady's family. At the same time, he will be scolded by the courtiers as a soft bone and a traitor. The Lord and the faction will face accusations of traitors at any time.

If you don't support the princess out of the stopper, that's even better. This winter, I will trouble you to take your subordinate border for a winter tour, the problem is that the Han-Hungarian border is long. You know where the Huns will rush, as long as a little bit is broken through by the Huns. has caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, and you can be considered guilty of this big black cauldron with a strong mouth.

Being old and not dying is a thief, and Dou Ying, the old guy's poisonous plan, is indeed vicious. No matter how Yun Xiao responds, in the end, Yun Xiao will not be allowed to the royal family and the imperial court. In the end, it will not be tolerated in the world. In a word, Yun Xiao is dead.

To come up with such a poisonous trick for a few blockages, what a fucking old fox.

Liu Qi thought for a while, then turned to Qiandu and said, "Xuan Lintong Hou Yunxiao, Tangquan Palace will see you." ”

"No"

Chidu received the holy decree and trotted out.

From September 28th to October 1st, if you like Hanxiong, please vote for Hanxiong during the double monthly pass. Thank you. (To be continued......)
