Several ministers of Shangshutai had different opinions on Li Hong's request to immediately launch the Youzhou War, and several of them argued very fiercely. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

Huangfu Song resolutely supported Li Hong's proposal, believing that now that the Xianbei people were defeated and unstable, Murong Feng could not take care of the whole thing, and it was the best time to take the opportunity to quell the rebellion and wait for the opportunity to recapture Yuyang and Lu Longsai. The opportunity must not be lost, and it must be fought again.

Lu Zhi believed that the imperial court was now overwhelmed and in a financial crisis for disaster relief, and was unable to support the expedition of the Youzhou army, so it was better to wait until the grain matured in October and the taxes were put into the warehouse. Although the best opportunity to quell the rebellion may be missed, it is a fact that the strength of the Xianbei people was seriously weakened after the battle of Yanmen Pass, and sooner or later the Xianbei people will have to have civil strife due to the imbalance of the strength of the various departments, and the opportunity to recover Yuyang and Lulongsai still exists. Moreover, the Xianbei people have just been defeated, if the Han army presses too hard, making the Xianbei people feel that their survival is threatened, it is possible that the Xianbei tribes will work together under the mediation of Murong Feng, and at that time, our attack resistance will be greater. Therefore, Lu Zhi believed that it would be better to make a temporary truce in northern Xinjiang to give the Xianbei people a sufficient period of respite, and the Xianbei tribes would take the lead in resolving the internal threat without an external threat, resulting in civil strife. After the civil strife of the Xianbei people, they were unable to look south, and it was not easy to recover the lost territory.

Han Fu and Xu Jing were very resolute in their opposition, and they vigorously opposed the resumption of war on the basis of the domestic crisis and the depleted finances. Not to mention that after October, even next year, they will not agree. The fact that the two or three million victims of the disaster will immediately become refugees and displaced people if they are not resettled in time. The people had nothing to eat, they could not survive, and then there would be riots. At present, the number of victims of this group is large, and the location is concentrated, and once the riot occurs, its power will definitely be amazing, and its scale will definitely be greater than the disaster of the ant thieves in the first year of Zhongping, and the state and county where the seven counties are located may be devastated. The damage caused by the floods of the Yellow River to the Great Han Kingdom was so great that it would take about two to three years for the imperial court to return to its pre-disaster state. For this reason, the imperial court has to pay a price of billions of money, in addition to the immediate disaster relief, resettlement, and help the people resume farming, including tax reduction, exemption from forced labor, rebuilding dikes and ditches, etc., the cost is too great, with the current financial situation of the imperial court, not to mention the war, even disaster relief and resettlement of refugees are difficult.

Jian Shuo didn't know much about military affairs, and he didn't know much about civil affairs, but he knew that as long as Huangfu Song agreed, he would definitely be able to do it. So he resolutely stood on the side of Huangfu Song. Jian Shuo said that the Great Han Kingdom and the Hu people fought for hundreds of years. Starting from the fight against the Huns, and then the Qiang people, the Karasuma people, and the Xianbei people, the dead soldiers and the military expenses were all countless, but what was the result? The more the Hu people fought, the territory became bigger and bigger, while our Great Han Kingdom became weaker and weaker, and the land became less and less. Now that I finally caught an opportunity that can severely damage the Hu people, how can I give up in vain? Do you still want to allow the Hu people to run rampant in the desert outside the Saiwai and repeatedly invade our Great Han Kingdom? Do you have to wait until all the land north of the Great Wall of the Great Han Kingdom is lost before fighting? I ask you, my lords, at what cost will we have to pay to regain the lost land, even if we are prosperous? How long will it take us to do this, how many soldiers will die, how much military money will it cost? I'm afraid it's ten times more than now, right?

Huangfu Song added, look at the western frontier, in order to keep the territory of the western Liang, we have fought a war on that barren land for decades, dragging down a strong and wealthy Han state, isn't this painful lesson enough? Do we still want to move this painful experience to northern Xinjiang? If we lose the border counties in the north and allow the Hu people to directly attack the Great Wall, what security will the Great Han Kingdom have? What stability is there in the Great Han Kingdom? What else is there to be prosperous in the Great Han Kingdom?

Han Fu and Xu Jing retorted that it was precisely because of the lessons of the Western Xinjiang that we should be cautious in going to war. In the past few years, the finances of the Great Han Kingdom have been exhausted year after year, and now they can't even solve the affairs of the victims, so what kind of war is there to fight?

Lu Zhi said that the financial situation is precarious, and the domestic situation is precarious, and this is the reason why we should continue to fight. From the Son of Heaven to the traitors of the Great Han Kingdom, everyone knows that the Hu people in the north are the main culprits who endanger the survival of our Great Han Kingdom. If we defeat the Hu people at this time and drive them out of our land, this great victory will not only inspire the people of the Han Kingdom, but also allow the people to see the heavenly power of the Han Dynasty and worship His Majesty and the court like gods. My Han army has defeated even the powerful Hu people, can't it still pacify a gang of rebels? As long as we do our best to defeat the Hu people and regain the lost territory, we can win back the hearts of the people and save the Han Kingdom from danger.

When the Son of Heaven heard Lu Zhi say this, Dayue, he was even more determined to fight this battle. If you have won the admiration of all the people and become a generation of holy masters, you are not doing whatever you want, who can hinder you? At that time, not to mention the great generals, even the self-righteous scholars did not dare to disobey themselves. I am a generation of Ming Jun, how can I be wrong in what I want to do?

When Han Fu and Xu Jing heard Lu Zhi's words, they didn't dare to say any more. Do you want to prevent Your Majesty from making meritorious contributions and becoming a generation of Ming Jun? Han Fu said, Your Majesty, this matter is related to the Han Dynasty, so it is better to discuss it with the court and listen to the opinions of all parties. Even if we want to fight, we must think of a perfect strategy, and we must absolutely guarantee a complete victory in the battle of northern Xinjiang, otherwise, this will become a disaster for the country.

Although the Son of Heaven is full of longing for the prospect of the battle in Northern Xinjiang, the facts are the facts, what kind of war is there no money to fight? He was uneasy in his heart and issued an edict to the court.

The ministers argued for a long time in the court and had many opinions.

The ministers headed by Yuan Pang, the Shaofu Liu Ting, the imperial servant Yang Biao, and the general master Zhu Jun were resolutely opposed, and they demanded that His Majesty adhere to the ancestral law of the ancestors who must first settle the inside of the country, first provide relief to the victims, put down the rebellion, stabilize the country, and wait for the national strength to increase, and then talk about the resumption of the war and the recovery of the northern territory.

The ministers headed by Sikong Ding Gong, Weiwei Liu Bo, and Shang Shuling Huangfu Song resolutely supported it, believing that the strength of the Xianbei people had been greatly weakened at present, and that they should take advantage of the favorable situation in northern Xinjiang to pursue and recover the lost border counties in northern Xinjiang as soon as possible. The lieutenants observed their faces and looks, and keenly captured the mind of the Son of Heaven who was eager to try and wanted to make contributions, so the lieutenants led by Zhang Rang and Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo also stood on the side of the main battle and shouted very vigorously. Huangfu Song even put forward a specific strategy for the Northern Xinjiang War, saying that the Northern Xinjiang War should be divided into at least three steps, first defeat the rebellion in Youzhou, drive out the Xianbei people who invaded Youzhou, then pacify the Xiongnu civil strife, and finally send troops to recover the four border counties lost in the state. According to his estimates, it will take at least a year to complete the Northern War. He told the Son of Heaven and the ministers that since the Great War of Western Xinjiang and the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the strength of the Xianbei people has suffered serious losses and is not to be worried, and the purpose of our battle is only to recover the lost territory, not to go deep into the outside of the fortress to completely defeat the Xianbei people, so this battle is undefeated and absolutely certain.

Although the ministers led by Situ Xu Xiang, Guanglu Doctor Yuan Feng, and Shangshu Lu Zhi supported the continuation of the war in Northern Xinjiang, they believed that they would have to wait for a while. At the very least, we will not send troops to go to war until after October, when the grain harvest and taxes have been put into storage, when the state finances have been eased, and when the resettlement of the victims has been basically completed.

The ministers led by the general He Jin, the general of the chariot cavalry, He Miao, Guangluxun Liu Hong, and the servant Liu Dai did not support the war in northern Xinjiang, but they did not oppose it. In their opinion, the imperial court is not capable of supporting the protracted Northern Xinjiang War at all, and it is not too late to discuss this matter when there is food and salary that can support the Northern Xinjiang War.

On the first day, the mood was intense, and no results were discussed, and everyone broke up unhappily. The next day, the Son of Heaven ordered Yuan Kui, Zhang Wen, Cui Lie and other old ministers to also be invited. The ministers discussed again. The arguments intensified. Da Changqiu Zhao Zhong and Liu Dai in the service had a disagreement, and they scolded, almost about to fight. The Son of Heaven felt that Zhao Zhong's energy was too vigorous, and he repeatedly quarreled and brawled with the ministers in the court, insulting Sven, and told him to go back to the palace to rest.

In the evening, Yuan Kui, Cui Lie, Yang Biao, Zhang Wen, Yuan Peng, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and others gathered in Yuan's mansion to continue arguing. Because Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and others all strongly opposed the sending of troops, Yuan Kui, Huang Fu Song and Lu Zhi made up their minds to persuade them. If these people do not agree, there is no possibility of resuming the war in northern Xinjiang.

Lu Zhi spread out the map, turned out all kinds of documents that had been carefully prepared, and took turns with Huangfu Song to make detailed analyses and explanations on whether the war could continue in northern Xinjiang and whether the Hu people could be defeated after the war.

Huangfu Song said that at present, there are about 200,000 troops in the entire northern Xinjiang, including 30,000 iron cavalry and 90,000 Yellow Turban troops of the Southern Xiongnu. If the war in northern Xinjiang was divided into three steps according to Lu Zhi's strategy, these 200,000 troops would have to be requisitioned and transferred to three battlefields one after another. At present, there are about 60,000 troops on the battlefield in Youzhou, including the 12,000 rebel troops that Li Hong had just recruited and the Youzhou army of Liu Yu and Lord Liu. When the war in Youzhou is over, Li Hong can probably lead 40,000 people back to the state. To attack the 100,000 Xiongnu rebels, we need to gather 80,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry troops, totaling 160,000 troops, including the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting. After we pacified the Xiongnu rebels, we then went out of the fortress to attack Xianbei in the north of Tuoba Feng, and recovered the four counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Shuofang and Dingxiang that were captured by the Xianbei people. According to Xu Rong, there are not many troops in the northern Xianbei of Tuoba Feng, at most no more than 30,000 people, but when we attack Tuoba Feng, reinforcements from the Xianbei people will come one after another, after all, this is a big war between countries. In order to succeed in the expedition to the north, and to be able to quickly occupy the four counties after the recovery, we need to dispatch at least 100,000 cavalry troops. Of course, at this time, we also have to recruit the Hun iron cavalry to accompany the battle, so that the number of troops who will fight in the fortress should be about 120,000.

In the three wars in northern Xinjiang, we have to dispatch 200,000 troops and nearly 1 million people, and according to estimates, it will cost about 100 to 12 billion yuan in military resources. This is still after the Western Xinjiang War and the Yanmen Pass War, the Xianbei people's strength is lost. If, as you say, we wait for the national strength to increase before we fight, then we will have to wait at least another ten years. Ten years later, the Xianbei people have long since recovered. Ten years later, when we march north, I am afraid that the Great Han Kingdom will not be able to afford it at all, in other words, the territory north of the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang will be completely lost. In addition, the battlefields of the Northern Xinjiang War were all within the territory of the Han Kingdom, and the farthest places were Yinshan and Liaodong County in Wuyuan and Yunzhong, and the transportation of grain and grass for the army was not a problem at all. As long as there is sufficient food and grass, the battle of the northern frontier will be won, and you do not need to worry about losing the war.

Lu Zhi said that what you are worried about is nothing more than the emptiness of the treasury of the Han Dynasty and the critical situation in the Han Dynasty.

Although the treasury of the Great Han was empty, His Majesty and the Shaofu were very wealthy. You all know that. According to our estimates, there are still more than 10 billion yuan in the Shaofu treasury, and there are still 20 billion to 25 billion yuan in the private property of His Majesty Wanjintang. His Majesty built the Xiyuan Army this time, basically using the money imported into the West Garden Wanjintang this year to reopen salt and iron and selling officials and selling lords and selling crimes, with a total of less than 500 million yuan. His Majesty only gave 3 billion dollars to this donation for disaster relief, which means that His Majesty still has at least 30 billion money in his hands. In this battle in northern Xinjiang, the Great Han State can afford to fight.

The current situation in China is basically stable, except for the floods in the four prefectures of Hebei, Yanqing and Xuzhou, and even if the victims riot in the future, it will not be a big problem. We can appease the big Yellow Turban leaders like Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, and Zhang Baiqi, but can't we appease the other Yellow Turban Bosses? Now what really threatens the root of the Han Kingdom is the chaos in northern Xinjiang, as long as the northern Xinjiang is stable and the border counties are peaceful, what is this kind of rebellion in the country? Could it be that the ant thief can still shake the foundation of my Great Han Kingdom for 400 years? Let's take a look at the Yizhou rebel Ma Xiang, Zhao Yu, Liu Yan and Lord Liu arrived in Yizhou, didn't they collapse in a battle? If you think about the disaster of the Qiang people in Western Xinjiang, the reason why the Great Han Kingdom has today's decline is directly related to the disaster of the Qiang people. If it weren't for the fact that the Qiang people's decades of war had exhausted the financial and material resources of the Great Han Kingdom, why would my Great Han Kingdom be in such an embarrassment?

Huangfu Song went on to explain that the reason why the battle of Northern Xinjiang was divided into three steps was to prevent the unstable domestic situation of the Han Dynasty from causing the defeat of the Great War in Northern Xinjiang. He believes that if we agree to the suggestion of Zhenbei General Li Hong, immediately launch the Youzhou War, quickly quell the Youzhou chaos, and smoothly realize the first step of the Northern Xinjiang War within this year, then the situation in the entire northern Xinjiang will be fundamentally reversed. Next year, even if we are unable to go to war and cannot realize the second and third steps of the Northern Xinjiang War to completely stabilize the Northern Xinjiang, we will be able to grasp the initiative in the entire Northern Xinjiang battlefield because of this, and we will be able to be invincible in advance and retreat, and it will be a matter of time before we can go out of the war and regain lost territory in the future.

At this time, although it was extremely difficult to carry out the Great War in Northern Xinjiang and required the mobilization of all the forces of the entire Great Han Kingdom, it also had an advantage, it could attract the attention and attention of all the people of the Great Han Kingdom to the Northern Xinjiang and to the major event of killing the Hu people and recovering the lost territory. For this battle, the Son of Heaven has to contribute, the officials have to contribute, the rich have to contribute, and the people have to contribute even more money and efforts, and everyone in the Han Kingdom is immersed in the scorching atmosphere of resisting the Hu people and revitalizing the Han Dynasty. This will not only not cause unrest among the people, but will make the subjects of the Great Han Kingdom abandon their contradictions, work together to fight for their own Great Han State.

Cui Lie, Zhang Wen, Yang Biao and Zhu Jun disagreed, they believed that the Great Han Kingdom had not stopped fighting for five years since the ant thief rebellion in the first year of Zhongping. Both the people, the army, and the country were devastated by the war, and the subjects and army of the Great Han State had long been unbearable, and the Great Han Kingdom was even more crumbling and dying. This is not the time to start a big war, but to recuperate. The Great Han Kingdom is like an invincible warrior who has been fighting for five years in a row, this warrior is scarred and exhausted, and now if he uses all his strength to launch the most powerful blow, the consequence will definitely be that the oil runs out and the lamp dies.

Once the battle for Northern Xinjiang began, there were several worries. The first is whether the military resources can be guaranteed, the second is whether the people can endure it, and the third is whether the imperial court can be stable. Although the Great War was a three-step process, the first step is now severely constrained by these three. Everyone can argue here today because the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army defeated the Xianbei people at Yanmen Pass, otherwise everyone would still be worried today. If the battle of northern Xinjiang is defeated, the situation in northern Xinjiang, which was barely controlled because of the battle of Yanmen Pass, will inevitably collapse. The Great Han Kingdom will be even more vulnerable after being hit hard, and a small rebellion may be able to destroy the entire Great Han Kingdom.

Yuan Kui said that as long as His Majesty can contribute money, the military funds can be guaranteed, and the military funds are guaranteed, and the burden of the people will not increase drastically, and the people will be able to endure it. As for whether the court will be chaotic, it is mainly because of the imperial system. As long as there is a result in the matter of the imperial system, how can the court still be chaotic? How can we make the imperial system have results? That is, to use this war in the north to force the general to take action and eradicate the eunuchs, so as to establish the imperial system as soon as possible.

Yuan Kui said with a smile: "Whether the Great Han Kingdom can be revitalized depends not on this war in the northern Xinjiang, but on the eradication of the eunuchs and relatives to exterminate the root cause of the scourge of the country, on the Son of Heaven to consolidate the imperial power, and on the Son of Heaven to establish the imperial system as soon as possible to stabilize the society." It doesn't matter whether the Northern Xinjiang War is won or lost, the important thing is that it is fought for the rejuvenation of the Han Kingdom, not for the recovery of the lost territory in Northern Xinjiang. ”

"With our efforts, the general is very confident in the eradication of the first eunuch to establish the imperial unity, and the determination has been made, at this time, if the northern Xinjiang is not fought, the Zhenbei general Li Hong led his troops back to the north of the Yellow River in the state, how can this imperial unity be established? How can this ** eunuch and his relatives be removed? How can this great Han country be revitalized? At that time, the Great Han Kingdom was not defeated by the Hu people in the north and the traitors in the country, but was skinned and deboned by the ** eunuchs and relatives in the court and eaten alive. Think about ** Eunuch Cao Jie and Wang Fu, think about the great general Liang Yi, yesterday's Great Han Kingdom was still a dragon and a tiger, and it could still recover if it was injured, but today's Great Han Kingdom is terminally ill and can't afford to suffer such a disaster. ”

"Another purpose of the Northern Xinjiang War was to deal with Li Hong as soon as possible while he had not yet endangered the society of the Great Han Kingdom. This person is so powerful and strong that in the history of this dynasty, he has directly followed the general Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the general of the Hussar during the period of Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu is a man of great talent and is invincible. Even Wei and Huo are not worried. But today's Son of Heaven does not have the literary talent and martial arts of Emperor Wu, can he control Li Hong? Li Hong's strongest place is his iron horse, his iron horse is all Hu people, and there is no one to command except him. You must know that this iron cavalry can help the Han Kingdom to defend the frontier, and it can also help Li Hong to harm the Great Han Kingdom, so to attack Li Hong's power, you must first destroy his iron cavalry. How to destroy his Iron Horseman? Only to launch a war in the northern frontier. If he loses the battle in Northern Xinjiang, his iron cavalry will basically be finished, and Li Hong will be dead. If the Northern Xinjiang War is won and the Northern Xinjiang is stabilized, Li Hong can return to the dynasty because of his merits, and his iron cavalry will be disbanded. At that time, let Li Hong be the great Honglu of Jiuqing, specializing in foreign affairs, won't his threat to the Great Han Kingdom be completely solved? If the northern Xinjiang is unstable, Li Hong has always held the military power, and the 200,000 army is controlled in his hands, and the threat to the Great Han State is far greater than the harm caused by the dictatorship of the eunuchs and relatives to the Great Han State, don't you feel it? ”

"I understand the feelings of all of you, everyone is for the sake of the Great Han Kingdom, and they are all worried that forcibly launching the Northern Xinjiang War will stimulate all kinds of contradictions between the government and the opposition, which will lead to the collapse of the Great Han Kingdom. But if we don't launch a war in the northern frontier, will the Great Han Kingdom be able to solve all the current root causes and crises of trouble? It's like a cancer in a person's body has already attacked, and it is possible to die if you don't cut it. But some people are worried that they will die immediately after being cut, so they keep it for treatment slowly, endure the pain every day, hope for a miracle every day, and finally die of wailing, and still regret it until they die, why didn't I cut the tumor with a knife at that time? Maybe it hurts to cut it, maybe it still costs death, but at least you don't have to endure the pain every day. We have already experienced two disasters of the party, do we still want to experience the third disaster of the party? Do you still want to see us die? ”

Huangfu Song smiled and said, "Rest assured, my lords, I am fully sure that I will win the battle of Northern Xinjiang." After the tumor that Lord Yuan said is cut off, not only will it not die, but it will also be cured immediately. ”

Yuan Kui stroked his white beard and said with a slight smile: "The great victory at Yanmen Pass has given us an opportunity to launch a war in the northern Xinjiang, and it has also given us an opportunity to eradicate all cancers and revitalize the Great Han Kingdom. After the end of the Northern Xinjiang War, there are no eunuchs, no relatives, no more generals in important towns, and the government and the opposition of the Han Kingdom are clear, and we will try our best to assist Your Majesty and strive to build a strong and prosperous Han Dynasty within ten years. ”

Yuan's words made several opponents hesitate.

Yang Biao asked: "We have to eradicate the eunuchs, but also kill the relatives, and we must guard against the eunuchs joining forces to deal with us, but in this way, Luoyang is bound to be chaotic, what is the benefit of the war in the northern Xinjiang?" ”

Yuan Kui shook his head and said very confidently: "This is the reason why the Northern Xinjiang War is divided into three steps. Yizhen has just said that as long as Youzhou is stable, the situation in northern Xinjiang will be reversed. Once the situation in northern Xinjiang is reversed, it is not us who is anxious, but the general. As long as we join forces to help him, the eunuch will die, and as soon as the eunuch dies, His Majesty will inevitably fight back, and then we will join hands to help His Majesty, and the matter in Luoyang will be solved. You must know that the Xiyuan Army is full of our protégé disciples, they are all loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to the Han Kingdom, under Your Majesty's holy decree, who will be loyal to the general? What's more, as soon as the eunuch died, his relatives became a thorn in the side of His Majesty and the scholars, where is his chance to survive? As soon as the general fell, all that remained was the final decisive battle in northern Xinjiang and the settlement of Zhenbei General Li Hong. Therefore, as long as the Luoyang Rebellion was after the Youzhou War, it would not affect the Northern Xinjiang War at all, and we can control this. ”

"We must be cautious about the affairs of the Xiyuan Army, they may not be able to defeat the Northern Army." Zhu Jun said, "When necessary, we still have to call in external forces to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Your Majesty's safety is directly related to the safety of the Han Kingdom, and we must not be careless, lest we spoil a major matter.

"There are external forces, but they are not credible." Yuan Kui said, "He Hao hasn't come back to Xiliang yet, we'll know when he comes back." ”

"Former General Dong Zhuo?" Yang Biao sneered, "This person first took refuge in the ** eunuch, and then secretly expressed his allegiance to the general, and now he is here to scold us, can he believe it?" A vulgar and shameless martial artist, he must not be trusted. But he had 20,000 horses at his disposal, but he could use it. If we have the opportunity, we will ask Your Majesty to transfer him to the capital, first seize his military power, and then send people to Xiliang to control his army as a help. ”

Zhang Wen said slowly: "Don't talk too far, we'll talk about this later." You've said so much, but you haven't said anything about the most important thing. What about military funding? How can you get Your Majesty to take money out of Shaofu and Wanjintang?

Lu Zhi twisted his long beard lightly and whispered, "Emperor." ”

"That's one thing I want to make clear to you today." Yuan Kui took Lu Zhi's words and said slowly, "Regarding the matter of the imperial system, we have always adhered to the law of the Han Dynasty, insisted on establishing the elder not the young, and the heir not the concubine. But this time was different. Yuan Kui's face showed sadness, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "This time, we are going to give up the Great Han Law and choose the imperial system with Lixian." ”

Cui Lie suddenly understood, and he said angrily: "Why is this? In order to kill the ** people, don't we even want the big Han law? This can also be used to negotiate terms with Your Majesty? ”

Yuan Kui shook his hand and motioned to Cui Lie not to get excited, and listened to him continue.

"Your Majesty must kill the general for himself, for the Queen Mother, and for the sake of Xiao Donghou, and we, as courtiers, must of course help Your Majesty eradicate the national thieves without hesitation. But have you ever thought about it, if we insist on letting Xiao Shihou inherit the imperial lineage, and His Majesty will be absent in the future, what will we do? What about our clan? His Majesty killed He Jin, and the queen would be implicated, and the queen would definitely not survive with His Majesty's hatred of her, and the queen's nine clans would be wiped out. Think about it, after Xiao Shihou inherited the unification, how could he let us go? ”

Yuan Kui pointed at Cui Lie, Zhang Wen, Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and others one by one, and sneered: "Will he let you go?" ”

Cui Lie shook his head very resolutely and said: "Abolishing the heirs and establishing a concubine, this is a major event that violates the law, violates the ancestral system, and violates loyalty. This should not be done. ”

Yuan Kui looked at the contemplative and silent people, and then looked at the emotional Cui Lie, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and roared: "The Great Han Kingdom is gone, where is the law?" And the ancestral system? And loyalty? The Great Han Kingdom is gone, and we are even gone with our ancestors, you know? If we don't agree, if we all die, who else is there in the Great Han Kingdom? Do you want the dictatorship of your eunuchs? Want to rule the country with a crude martial artist? I hope that the lives of my Great Han Kingdom will be ruined, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will be destroyed overnight? ”

Lu Zhi hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry. In fact, the key is not the future, but the present. If we do not agree to your majesty's abolition of the heir, your majesty will definitely order the general of Zhenbei to wave his army south, suppress us by force, and force us to agree. Once Li Hong enters the auxiliary government of the DPRK, it is very likely that he will evolve into a disaster for the country. In history, there are countless harms caused by important ministers and countries, especially the rebellion of eunuchs. Therefore, for the sake of the eternal future of the Han Kingdom, we must promise Your Majesty to abolish the throne, even if this violates the law, the ancestral system, and the loyalty, we must have no hesitation. ”

Cui Lie's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was very conflicted in his heart.

Yuan Kui calmed down a little and said to Cui Lie: "It's not our turn to tell Your Majesty about this matter yet, so you don't need to make a decision immediately." In the future, you will see how the situation develops. If you really can't accept it, you will go back to your hometown to care for the elderly, and out of sight is clean. ”

Zhang Wen asked in a low voice: "You recommended Ma Riyan to be the captain, did you have this meaning for a long time?" ”

Yuan Kui nodded and said, "If it weren't for the flooding of the Seven Counties caused by the bursting of the Yellow River, why would there be so much trouble today?" The Great War in Northern Xinjiang must be continued, and General Zhenbei's soldiers and horses must be on the battlefield. When the West Park Army begins to have strength, this matter will have to be understood. In order to continue the war in Northern Xinjiang, I had to let Ma Riyan talk to His Majesty about the conditions. ”

"Your Majesty will take the money out of Wanjintang to use it as military funds?" Yang Biao's face was full of suspicion.

Yuan Kui smiled, pointed at Yang Biao and said: "Your son Yang Xiu is your hope, if Yang Xiu has anything to do, are you willing to spend all your family wealth?" What are we elders doing so hard? Isn't it all for children? His Majesty is also a father, and a good father. Your Majesty has done whatever it takes to turn a slave of a Xianbei person from a scout to a general of Zhenbei for the sake of Xiao Donghou, doesn't Your Majesty know what threat Li Hong, who has 200,000 male soldiers, to the Great Han Kingdom? His Majesty knows very well, but for the sake of his son, for the sake of his beloved son to inherit the throne, His Majesty would rather take this risk. Therefore, not to mention borrowing 10 billion money on credit from His Majesty, even if he begs His Majesty to donate 10 billion money, His Majesty will agree. ”

"You must know that as long as we promise to support Your Majesty's abolition of the throne, Your Majesty will no longer have any obstacles, Your Majesty only needs to wait for the general to take the initiative."

"But will Ma Riyan agree?" Zhang Wen asked suspiciously.

"He's definitely not going to say yes." Yuan Kui smiled, "He's coming soon, let's persuade him together." This matter is related to Dahan Sheji, and he has to agree if he doesn't agree. ”

****

General's Palace.

In the court meeting, Sikong Ding Palace insisted on the Northern Xinjiang War, while the general He Jin neither expressed support nor opposition, and the two cooperated very tacitly, but in the General's Mansion, there were two completely different attitudes towards whether to support the Northern Xinjiang War. Shi Wangqian, the head of the general's mansion, Wang Yun and Xun You, Bo Chenlin, and Xun Shuang, the guest secretary, are all very staunch oppositionists. The Great War in Northern Xinjiang caused great losses to the Han Kingdom. Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, the Great Han Kingdom will be devastated after the war. In the future, the eldest prince inherited the great unification and took over this dilapidated country, and it was quite difficult to govern, and it was difficult to recover in ten years.

However, Liu Biao, Sima Yuan Shao, Shi Kuaiyue and others in the Northern Army all expressed their support. In their opinion, as long as the military resources to support the war are settled, the war will be fought, and if the northern Xinjiang is armistice, the army of Zhenbei General Li Hong can go south at any time. Kuai Yue said that after the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Li Hong increased the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to 90,000 people, except for Wang Dang's troops stationed at Yanmen Pass, the other 80,000 troops were stationed in Hedong, which obviously meant threatening Luoyang and threatening the general. Although Li Hong is now in Youzhou, and the main force is divided into two places, the Great Wall Fortress and Jicheng, he is not concerned about the situation in Luoyang, and even stationed the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army after the Battle of Yanmen Pass in Hedong County, which shows the great ambition of his ambition.

The crowd argued, and the general He Jin was upset when he heard it, and asked Yuan Shao to accompany him for a walk in the garden.

The general He Jin said to Yuan Shao that now His Majesty is vigorously recruiting famous scholars and Confucians to enter the court to win the hearts of the people. His Majesty is so brazenly currying favor with scholars, it seems that he is going to pave the way for the abolition of the heirs and make all preparations.

Yuan Shao smiled and comforted and said that the abolition of the heir Lishu violated both the law and the ancestral system, except for the ** eunuch and the confused general Zhenbei, no one would support His Majesty. It's good that there are more sergeants in the court, and in the future, we will eradicate the ** eunuch and support the eldest prince to inherit the unification, and Luoyang will definitely have a mess. With these people in charge to help, the situation in Luoyang will soon stabilize, which is a good thing. Then he suggested to He Jin, the general still took the time to meet with the general of the chariot cavalry, and asked him to help you find out the news from the ** eunuch to see what His Majesty's attitude is towards the battle in the northern frontier.

He Jin said unhappily, I don't want to see him, you write a letter and listen to Zhang Liao to go on a trip. If he wants to help, he can help, and if he doesn't want to, forget it, I don't count on him.
