Chapter 20 The Great Court Meeting, Discussing the North ([-]) Liu Hong glanced at the courtiers in the audience, coughed slightly, and continued: "Zhi said: Since the Three Emperors ruled the world, the Five Emperors have had their own destiny. The emperors have taken care of the people and cultivated the people. They should embody God's virtue of good life and increase all things accordingly.
If the ruler is wise, his ministers will be promoted, and the government and the public will be united.
Those who merge the states will go to Shangzhou to govern the people internally and control the barbarians externally.
Liu Han, the king of Hejian County, was given the title of General of the North, leading an army of [-], and annexing the Governor of Beida. He promoted all important military and political affairs in the five counties of Shuofang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Yanmen and Dingxiang.
If you are given the opportunity to do things, wherever you go, it will be like me personally.
Appreciate this! "
"My dear brother, I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"
At this moment, Liu Han couldn't believe this was true.
One hundred thousand troops!
And it was approved by the imperial court.
This power is too great!
You must know that the position of military attachés in the late Han Dynasty was very low. When the three heroes in the late Han Dynasty defeated the Yellow Turbans, they were only middle-ranking generals.
Generals are not often called generals. They are called generals who command the troops only in times of war. Therefore, the highest official position that a general military attache can obtain in peacetime is Zhonglang General, with a rank of "bierqianshi". He is in charge of the royal guard and belongs to Guanglu. Xun jurisdiction.
The main reason why he can gain so much power now is because he is the emperor's younger brother.
The first to come up is General Zhenbei, ranking third among the Dukes and below General Four Expeditions.
"Your Majesty, I believe that we should not use troops easily and should give priority to appeasement."
Not surprisingly, the surprise still came.
It was Yuan Feng who stood up and spoke at this time.
Speaking of which, Yuan Feng was actually quite unlucky this year. In April, there was an earthquake in Jingzhao, and Yuan Feng was the Sikong; the etheric Chang Zhang Ji was the Sikong.
Not long after he became Sangong, he disappeared again.
Liu Hong looked at Yuan Feng with a bad look in his eyes, "What do you have to say?"
Yuan Feng felt frightened when the emperor stared at him, but he still said bravely: "The border is bitterly cold, how can the marquis live there with his body of thousands of gold? Moreover, the national treasury is empty and cannot withstand a war.
From Emperor Guangwu to the present, our empire's policy towards the grasslands has been to divide and win over each other. Once troops are mobilized, the grassland barbarians are likely to flee north without being found. When the king's army is tired, they will go south to plunder.
Sending troops is too much of a waste of people and money. I hope Your Majesty will think again! "
Liu Hong looked at Yuan Feng's confusion. If looks could kill, Yuan Feng would already be a corpse.
Since General Dou Wu's clan was destroyed, the power of the foreign relatives in the court has been in decline. The power in the court has changed from the original foreign relatives, nobles, and eunuchs to the nobles, eunuchs, and foreign relatives. The power belonging to the foreign relatives has long been divided up by the noble families.
If Liu Han successfully leads the Zhenbei General this time and has an army of [-] under his command, then the structure of the court will definitely undergo new changes. Without the emperor's relatives, the clan will surely rise! The one hundred thousand troops in Liu Han's hands means that the emperor has one hundred thousand more troops in his hands, and the noble clan will be weakened. This is something Yuan Feng does not want to see.
Therefore, after losing the opportunity, Yuan Feng could only bite the bullet and say it.
Liu Han naturally knew Yuan Feng's little thoughts. He looked at the imperial brother on the dragon throne and said nothing.
"Master Yuan's words are wrong. Your Majesty is the general who Zhenbei, not the general who conquers the north. This trip to Bingzhou is a strategic defense, not an active attack. How can we talk about sending troops? Besides, His Majesty has already issued an imperial edict. Is it right, Master Yuan?" Do you want His Majesty to withdraw the imperial edict and change it overnight?
Dare I ask Master Yuan what his intentions are? "
Lu Zhi was loyal to the royal family. Although he was born into a noble family, he did not associate with the Yuan family. Moreover, he was not only satisfied with Liu Han, but also satisfied. If it were not for Liu Han's special status, he would have wanted to marry his daughter to him.
At this moment, Yuan Feng, who was speaking out righteously, could not get off the stage.
"Master Lu, please don't slander anyone. I don't dare to have such a plan!" Liu Han didn't expect that Lu Zhi had two brushes in his mouth. Isn't he a Confucian general?He was so sharp in attacking people, deflecting conflicts and shifting the issue to the imperial power, which made Yuan Feng unable to step down.
"If I remember correctly, the person I told him last time to the point of vomiting blood must also be Mr. Yuan."
Liu Han said with a puzzled look on his face: "Could it be that Yuan and I are naturally at odds with each other?
That's not right, Lord Yuan Feng, your son Yuan Gongli and I can still get along quite well.
Mr. Yuan Feng, you are not young anymore. My temper is not very good. You must think clearly and don’t make mistakes! "
Now is not the time to break up with Yuan, so Liu Han chooses to endure it for once, hoping that Yuan will not be shameless.
And Yuan Feng naturally heard what Liu Han meant.
Threat!
A naked threat!
And he was threatening himself with his son's life.
So cruel!
Yuan Feng looked at Liu Han, with heaven and man at war in his heart, and finally he had no choice but to compromise.
Although the Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and many disciples and old officials, this Han family still has the surname Liu!
The Yuan family has no righteousness and is not ready. Once they are labeled as traitors, all the connections they have established before will be in vain.
not the right time yet! The conflict at the beginning of the year made the emperor completely in power. As long as this man is still there, the Han Dynasty will not be able to tell the difference!
After thinking about all this, Yuan Feng felt relieved, "It's the veteran who is being abrupt. Your Majesty is the general of Zhenbei, so I have no objection."
As a lieutenant of Sili School, Yuan Huai could only cancel his original plan when he saw that his brother was defeated. The ministers in the Yuan family's camp in Runan and Chen County also shut up obediently.
A political struggle disappeared invisible.
At this moment, Situ Yang Ci was also motionless. The Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong were both the fourth generation and the third prince. They were related to each other by marriage and were a community of interests. The Yuan family failed, so there was no need to continue.
Seeing the bright future, Taizhong doctor Qiao Xuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is a hero. After a few years of hard work, he will definitely become a mainstay of the Han Dynasty. I congratulate the Han Dynasty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Qiao Xuan, courtesy name Gongzu, was born in Suiyang County, Liang State (the Qiao family in Liang State, there is "Genealogy of the Qiao Family in Liang State, Shanghai"). (He is not Er Qiao’s father. Er Qiao is from Wan County, Lujiang County)
Hearing this, Liu Hong swept away the gloom just now. Although there was a small episode, it was not harmful.
"Hahaha, what Aiqing said is absolutely true! I still know that my imperial brother is different from ordinary people since he was a child. I believe that with him here, there will be no worries in the north!"
"Brother Imperial, I am young after all and do not know military matters. I am bold and have an unkind request. I hope your brother will agree."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"My younger brother wants to ask the emperor for a favor. Duan Jiong, the former Taiwei, went to the north with my younger brother. Duan Jiong is already guilty of a crime. It would be merciful for the emperor not to kill him. Wouldn't it be better to let him plead guilty and perform meritorious service?" "
Liu Hong thought about it carefully and found that Duan Juan was indeed a suitable candidate. He had rich combat experience against foreign races. Besides, he was also old and could be punished. Being sent to the emperor's younger brother would make him feel more at ease.
Liu Hong made a decision in his heart and said: "The emperor's younger brother is good at selecting people and passing on the decree: the former Taiwei Duan Juong will be appointed Army Sima and serve under General Liu Han of Zhenbei."
"My dear brother, I accept the decree. Thank you! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Liu Hong was very happy. His goal was achieved today. As the emperor, this is the first year he has truly taken power. He waved his hand and said: "Quit the court!"
