Stepping on the steps, Liu Che walked to the throne step by step.

In essence, Ganquan Palace is just a summer resort for the royal family.

At the same time, Ganquan Palace was built on the ruins of the Lin Guang Palace and the Ganquan Front Hall in the Qin Dynasty.

The important thing is that when the Ganquan Palace was rebuilt at that time, it happened to encounter the economic crisis of the Han family, and the Guanzhong rice was 3,000 yuan, and the prime minister was in an ox cart in the court.

Therefore, when Ganquan Palace was rebuilt, it was basically based on the principle of saving if it can be saved, and trying to make use of the complete palace design and materials of the Qin Dynasty.

As a result, Ganquan Palace became the most casual palace complex of the Han family.

To what extent?

Just at the foot of Ganquan Mountain and in the valley next to it, there are a bunch of liehou villas.

The emperor came to Ganquan Palace in summer to escape the heat, and these guys also ran over to soak in the hot springs.

In his previous life, after Liu Rong committed suicide, Dou Ying's guy ran to the villa here in Ganquan Mountain, closed the door, and claimed to be a hermit.

But the question is - do you want to be a hermit, go to Zhongnan Mountain, and go to Ganquan Mountain to do it?

This is not a big line written on his forehead: I just want the emperor to know that he is wrong!

Then, Dou Ying, who woke up to this, immediately came out to do things again.

As for the design and layout of Ganquan Palace itself, it is also very casual.

Take, for example, the Emperor's throne.

The throne here in the north hall is already the highest one in the Ganquan Palace.

But there are only fifty-five or twenty-five steps.

This is obviously unacceptable for an ambitious emperor who wants to show his superiority.

Therefore, Ganquan Palace has undergone a large-scale expansion in history, during the period of Little Pig.

Illegal buildings at the foot of the mountain and in the valley. Almost all of them were forcibly demolished.

In its place, there is a new Mingguang Palace, living rooms, a spiritual platform, and the Royal Botanical Garden, the Wooden Garden, which is later known as the Fairy Grass Garden.

But Liu Che doesn't matter.

He even felt that the design of Ganquan Palace was very good.

It can keep the emperor in close contact with the country's ruling class princes, and can also mix sand in the middle of the princes anytime and anywhere, so as to maintain the emperor's control over the nobles.

As an emperor. You can stay away from the masses and the sufferings of the people, but you must not stay away from the ministers and nobles.

Sitting on the throne, Liu Che raised his head, looked at the military generals and princes in the hall, and saluted to himself: "The ministers meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a long life!" ”

"No courtesy, flat body, give a seat!" Liu Che said lightly. Wait until the ministers are seated or in order.

Liu Checai said: "Recently, I have heard that there is a lot of public opinion in the government and the opposition, and it is said that the Huns are violent and abusive, and the heavens will punish them. The upper should be the mandate of heaven, and the lower should be Lishu. I ordered the ministers to come here today, just to hear the opinions of the ministers and others......"

When all the ministers heard this, they all sat upright.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, three important imperial military conferences have been held in response to the Xiongnu issue.

In terms of record, the current main battle faction has a two-to-one advantage. Occupy the absolute upper hand.

The only time I lost was in the period of the Late Lu Dynasty.

However, in fact, the main peace faction has been the mainstream of the government and the opposition in the past 30 years.

Even the war-loving princes. There were also many staunch opponents of fighting against the Xiongnu.

After experiencing the Battle of Heiseong, the shortcomings of the Han army were exposed.

Huge and bulky infantry clusters, too poor mobility, coordination and movement, far from keeping up with the Huns, who were mainly cavalry.

Fighting on the inner line, you can also rely on cities and fortresses, once you go out and face the Huns, you will deliver food.

No sane general will fight a war that is bound to be lost.

At the beginning, when Mao Dun was rude and unreasonable provocations and insults, he had always been a coarse infant, forcibly poured cold water on Empress Lu, and dispelled Empress Lu's war intentions.

So the question is, how did the main battle faction win the other two times?

The answer is very simple, the emperor personally went out to pull the shelf, forcefully rejected public opinion, and forcibly passed the war resolution with the authority of the emperor.

In order to express his determination, Emperor Taizong even put on armor and the sword of the Son of Heaven, and went to the military camp in person to comfort the soldiers and boost morale.

For the emperor to do this, the strength of the Lord and the faction can be imagined.

But the situation has now been reversed.

Through the accumulation of thirty years of two generations of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Renzong.

Especially in the two years after Liu Che came to power, he continued to arm the army, strengthen the army's combat capability, expand the cavalry unit, and extensively repair the horse farm.

By now, the Han army had a new cavalry of 80,000 men equipped with stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes.

Especially after Xia Rouge got married, the slaves and cavalry who accompanied him taught several main forces of the Han army how to find water sources and identify directions on the grassland.

Now, although the princes and generals feel that if they want to open a posture with the Xiongnu and have a decisive battle, they may not be able to achieve 100% victory.

However, if you just clean up the enemies of the Hetao without the Aries tribe.

That's the very simple thing.

Some even think that it may be decided by a war.

Just like last year's righteous and Xu Gang destroyed Wei Korea.

And the main force of the Xiongnu was far away in the Western Regions, and when they reacted, the Hetao entered the mouth of the Han family.

The most important thing is to destroy North Korea with righteousness, so that the military of the Han family suddenly awakened their instincts.

In that case, what are you waiting for?

Don't miss the opportunity!

Therefore, the situation of the government and the opposition was immediately reversed.

A large number of lords and factions quickly changed their positions and became a warmonger.

This is not surprising at all.

In the past, they were peaceful, just because, there was no certainty of victory, but the possibility of defeat was very high, and no one dared to take the risk of losing their teachers and humiliating the country after defeat.

Today, with the rapid increase in the strength of the Han army, all kinds of new weapons and equipment are put into use.

In addition, last year, it took only one armed march to destroy the Wei regime.

This has caused many people to start swelling.

And the retreat of the Huns in the recent Han-Hungarian exchanges also makes people feel. The Huns don't seem to be anything remarkable either.

Back then, during the Battle of Pingcheng, the Han army, which had a large number of infantry, still had a five-five with Maodun.

Today, 80,000 iron riders are in hand to mobilize the power of the country. Dealing with the enemy of the Hetao, is it not easy to capture?

For the Chinese scholars and nobles, the temptation of 'the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's ministers' to establish a heavenly kingdom and make the eight wildernesses and six rivers and all surrender is an irresistible and irresistible mission.

On this point, all the sons and hundreds of schools except the Mo family have the same opinion.

So. At present, the situation that appeared in front of Liu Che was that the Lord and the faction had completely collapsed.

The mainstay of the former lord and faction, the generals and princes, collectively turned around and became warmongers.

As for public opinion......

Can you count on the Confucian scholars who are full of shouting 'Xianggong Fu IX', and the Legalists who insist on turning the whole country into a military machine, to come out and lead the peace?

Even the rejection of war. The Mo family, who advocates both love and non-attack, is actually secretly fueling the troubles.

As for why this is so, you ask?

Just look at the system of the Huns. It is known that any true disciple of the Mo family will not sit idly by and watch the tyranny of the Huns continue.

Love is not attacking, first of all, you must love each other!

What's more, Yidi has no human rights, this is the consensus of hundreds of schools!

At the same time, in fact, the current Mo family. It has been transformed by Liu Che into an organization similar to Midi's military-industrial complex.

The current recovery and prosperity of the Mo family comes from the technical demand for Mo Yuan from the army and the Shaofu.

In the Qin Dynasty, the Mo family already knew what they should do in such a situation.

Mohists love peace?

This is probably the biggest joke in the world.

Contrary. After the prosperity of Qin and the decline of Han, the disciples of the Mo family, no one wants to return to the situation of difficult inheritance and no support in the past.

Although Mo Yuan did not express his opinion on the issue of war peace.

But they quietly got the first qualified hydraulically forged cuirass.

This is actually an indication of their attitude.

Just like when their predecessors were working for the seven generations of kings of the Qin State: We still advocate both love and non-attack, after all, this is the signature of the ancestor master, but as long as we don't go to the battlefield in person, it is not a violation of the principle of both love and non-attack.

Facts have proved that the first thing that any school of thought or thought will consider is definitely not some kind of illusory thing such as a principled position.

They first have to make sure that they can survive, and then they have to grow.

As for the principled position, what is it?

As for the old school?

After the princes have all defected, can you still expect these old men who are also members of the princely class and the noble group to come forward to administer justice?

You must know that although the old Huang school advocates inaction, it is followed by the words "omnipotence".

Just as Sima Tan summed up the characteristics of Huang Lao's thought: Taoism does nothing, and it is said that nothing is done, in fact, it is easy to do, its words are difficult to know, and its technique is based on nothingness, and it is based on following the rules, impermanence, and impermanence......

What's more, in fact, Huang Laoxue and Legalism are actually two sides of the same coin.

One advocates that the government does everything, while the other stresses that as long as the law doesn't stipulate it, then leave it alone.

Therefore, Liu Che knows very well that it is very difficult to calm down the current frenzied war clamour.

Generals want to make meritorious contributions, nobles want to use war to improve their status and power, ministers hope to use a victory to wash away the shame of the past, by the way, let themselves go down in history, and even popular public opinion generally calls for war and revenge.

Under the influence of the culture of great revanchism, as well as the increase in the self-confidence and strength of the army brought about by the increase of national strength.

In fact, the Han and the Hungarians were increasingly on the verge of war.

The general trend of history is surging like a huge wheel.

Anyone who wants to stand in its way is going to turn into a ridiculous Don Quixote.

Therefore, when Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was the first to come out and report it, what he said was a matter of course.

"Your Majesty, the former one, Fengchunjun, and Emperor Gao suggested: The Xiongnu Henan White Sheep and the King of Loufu should go to Chang'an for 700 miles, and you can ride to Qinzhong for a day and night. Although the Xiongnu have been expelled from Henan, but it is in the Hetao, there are four kings of Xiu Tu, Kun Xie, Lou Fu, and Aries, and you can ride to Xiaoguan for three days! Your Majesty Zeng Yun: On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore, now on the side of Your Majesty's couch, there are tigers and wolves sleeping soundly, and the ministers secretly think that for the sake of eternity, when the soldiers go out of the clouds, restore my Jiuyuan homeland, and chase the Huns outside the Yellow River! ”

Zhou Yafu's words can be regarded as representing the long-standing consensus of the Han monarchs and ministers.

The Huns occupied the Hetao region like a sword of Dacromos, hanging over the heads of the Han family.

If you want to say that the monarchs and ministers of the Han family can rest assured, then it is called hell!

In the twenty or thirty years since the Battle of Henan, there has not been a day when the Han monarchs and ministers did not want to recover the Hetao and keep Chang'an away from the threat of the Hun cavalry.

This is a fundamental point that has a bearing on national security and social security.

Even the lords and factions in the past, when they were at their strongest, said that they would strengthen their armaments and defend against the Huns.

This is also the biggest difference between the main peace faction in the early Han Dynasty and the appeasement and surrender faction in later generations.

The reason why the lords and factions of the early Han Dynasty were in harmony was because they were consumed in the front, the losses were too great, and they could not consume the Xiongnu.

But while they were making peace, they never gave up arming and fighting to take revenge in the future.

Just like the Fengchun Jun that Zhou Yafu said.

This person's original surname is Lou, his name is respectful, and he was later given the surname Liu by Liu Bang.

He is the ancestor of the Han family lord and faction and the initiator of the peace policy.

But even Liu Jing, after formulating the policy of peace and proximity, returned from the Xiongnu, and immediately suggested the implementation of the policy of strengthening the foundation and weakening the end, strengthening the strength of Guanzhong, and guarding against the Xiongnu.

After Zhou Yafu, Shen Tujia also said: "Your Majesty, the old minister was in the time of the Empress Lu, standing in the East Palace Military Council, at that time, the Huns took the spot, insulted the Empress Lu with words, and everyone said: can be warn, Duying Yin Yi waited for the Duke to hold the sword and stand: there are those who dare to speak out to fight, all say that they can be killed, and the Empress Lu then stopped, afterwards, the minister privately discussed with the Duke of Guan, and the Duke said to the minister: Isn't it not a war? If you leave 30,000 cavalry and 10 generals, you can go out of the north to attack the Huns, take its head and hang it in the north! Now His Majesty has 80,000 iron horses, with a million armor, the shame of Köping City, and the revenge of Lu Hou, at that time! ”

Shen Tujia's words also resonated with many generals and princes.

Especially the generals who blow the wind and sand on the Great Wall, they feel the same way.

In front of the Huns, everyone has been aggrieved for decades, endured for decades, and how many siblings have died under the attack of the Huns.

Who wants to shrink within the Great Wall for the rest of their lives.

A manly husband should be happy to take revenge.

For the Huns, everyone felt that it was time for the Huns to know how powerful we were.

The 80,000 cavalry equipped with new equipment is where everyone's confidence lies.

The new equipment and new tactics made every Han army general confident that he had indeed had a tactical and equipment advantage over the Xiongnu.

What's more, the Huns were in the south of the curtain, and there was an emptiness in the army.

Taking advantage of his illness and asking for his life is the instinct of every qualified general.

As for the peace treaty or something?

Isn't that just a piece of paper that's too hard to wipe your butt? (To be continued......)
