98. As soon as foreign troubles are settled, internal disputes arise
"Your Majesty, a great victory, a great victory."
"Oh? Didn't you say a while ago that Huangfu Song worked in vain in the northwest, and Zhang Yi's army was wiped out at Yanmen? Why did those guys send me another document about the great victory in just a few days? Don't they?
Do you know that lying about your military exploits will cost you your head?"
Although Liu Hong's words seemed to reveal a strong murderous intention, the eunuch who reported the news from his slightly expectant tone knew that this Nine-Fifth Emperor was obviously more looking forward to punishing the ministers who had disappointed him.
Heard some good news.
"Your Majesty, of course it is a real victory. With such a wise and wise Lord as Your Majesty, how many guys like that bear-hearted leopard dare to deceive Your Majesty..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and read it. By the way, don't read out the nonsense. I hope you can understand what I'm talking about."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Zhang Yibao, the governor of Bingzhou, on the night of Jihai in the twelfth month of winter, I took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and personally led the Yinguan City defenders to counterattack successfully, killing more than 40,000 of the enemy and stopping the Sanggan River from flowing.
, captured countless enemy battle flags, and lost all the heads of centurions and above. He ordered Yanmen prefect Guo Mian to be loyal to the emperor and the country, and organized civilians to supervise the transportation of grain, grass and equipment. He made great contributions and can be regarded as a model for all officials. "
"Oh? Zhang Yi is quite capable. I didn't expect him to have such ability. It's quite difficult to win from defeat."
"On behalf of the prefect of the county, Wang Ze and the commander of Karasuma school, Gong Qichou, reported. In the twelfth month of winter, Renyin, the ministers and others sent out eight thousand troops, three thousand from the county's righteous followers, and 3,000 from Karasuma's righteous followers. A total of more than 14,000 people attacked.
Xianbei army at the foot of Pingcheng city
, the enemy was tired and in chaos, the ministers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them, beheading more than 5,000 enemy leaders, and also obtained the heads of the enemy's powerful tycoon Yan Zongyou and more than 10 heads of centurions and above, more than 2,000 horses, and various other utensils.
countless."
"Three thousand loyal servants in the county? I, the emperor, don't know that there is such a big man in Daijun. It's really interesting."
"The people in this county are already strong and fierce. In order to resist the invasion of the barbarians, everyone can be said to be good at shooting. I think there are still three thousand righteous followers."
"Oh, that's fine. Is there anything else besides these? It seems that I haven't finished reading yet."
"Your Majesty is wise. Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, has a secret report."
"Tell me." Usually, secret reports are not pleasant to hear. They either involve people, or they don't.
"Li Xue, the prefect of Xihe, first slowed the rescue and watched the barbarians invade our territory and plunder our people without caring. Then he delayed the opportunity to fight, causing the enemy chieftain and dozens of major enemy generals to escape, so that our counterattack was not fully effective.
Moreover, he is arrogant about taking credit for others and speaks arrogantly. He is actually a traitor who is endangering our country and the country. I have the courage to appeal to you. I hope that your majesty will know his true face and give justice to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives."
"Oh? Is there any grudge between Zhang Yi and Li Xue?"
"I have never heard of this, but I guess Governor Zhang is not used to some of Li Taishou's actions."
"Then, you go down and leave those notes for repaying your merits. Remember, these are all the notes. I think you are not a fool."
"...Yes, Your Majesty."
"Uncle Zhang Yuan is very capable. I have never heard of any bad deeds in Bingzhou in the past few years. I thought he was a good and capable official. I never thought that he would do such a thing. Humph, I don't like Li Xue. I'm afraid
It’s because I, the emperor, are even more displeased.”
In Liu Hong's eyes, Li Shushi is a bit frivolous, but he has no big ambitions and does not have the self-righteousness of some nobles. Perhaps because of his origin, he is very concerned about the lives of the people. The most important thing is,
Liu Hong believed that Li Shushi and he were quite compatible, and with Lu Zhi's guarantee, his loyalty should be guaranteed.
If Liu Kuan and Yang Ci are father-like teachers in Liu Hong's eyes, then Li Shushi is a friend who is similar in age to him and can play and make mischief together. Although the gap in status is doomed to make it difficult for Liu Hong
He has gained a close friend, but at least he can get a lot of happiness and inspiration when he and Li Shushi are together without having to worry about being lectured.
Liu Hong thinks it's pretty good to have such a person who can be regarded as Liu Hong's "confidant".
Therefore, Liu Hong has no copyright awareness at all about Li Shushi's inventions - what's yours is mine, just give it to you appropriately and come over quickly to kowtow and thank you. It would be best if you prepare more good things.
.
And in any case, Li Shushi has almost completed the agreement between him and Liu Hong regarding Xihe. No, if it is just about Xihe, then Li Shushi can be regarded as overfulfilling the task. No, this was originally regarded as a death
The position of the governor of Xihe in the land has now become quite a sought-after commodity, and many people have set their sights on this now prosperous and stable land.
It was not that Liu Hong had never thought about transferring Li Shushi away and then receiving two portions of the income of the prefect (one from Xihe and another from Li Shushi's new position). However, he still remembers the agreement between the two people to this day, and he has some thoughts
Seeing that the territory under his rule has returned to what it was like in the early days of Emperor Guangwu's founding, especially now that his health is deteriorating.
I casually picked out a memorial from the memorials left behind, and it was a memorial to Yanmen Prefect Guo Mian reporting his victory.
It's true that Liu Hong'er has a soft core, but he is not stupid. It's just that many times he doesn't want to think about the things that make him bored. He hopes that his world can be simpler, but he always encounters
The most complex side of the world.
To fight the complexity of the world with his own simplicity, a certain emperor should probably be grateful that he is an emperor, so that even if he pursues simplicity, he does not need to worry that he will be starved by complexity. Of course, a certain emperor should also be proud of himself.
I feel sad for the emperor because countless complications hinder his pursuit of simplicity.
Perhaps this is the reason why he feels so compatible with Li Shushi - a certain little plum has become a bit like a fool, but he is still living strong in this world, and he seems to be living quite happily.
Therefore, Zhang Yi still didn't know much about the emperor above him. If his memorial was about Li Shushi's attempt to steal the emperor's money, maybe Liu Hong would send someone to check on Li Shushi. As for Zhang Yi's words
Liu Hong's first reaction was not to believe those things. In other words, Liu Hong would rather believe Li Shushi than Zhang Yi.
Moreover, after being the emperor for so many years, Liu Hong can be regarded as "well-informed" about the tricky things in official documents. Moreover, the only documents reporting victory this time were Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, the prefect of Daijun, and
Captain Karasuma. Where is the document from the prefect of Yanmen County, where the main battlefield is located? The other party did not sign Zhang Yi’s memorial.
At the same time, I didn’t see Li Shushi’s victory document. Perhaps this is what Liu Hong found strange.
It can be seen from the information collected from all aspects that the little guy is generally lazy in everything except things that interest him, but he seems to be serious when he needs to be serious.
It was such a person who caused the once arrogant Xianbei people to suffer the biggest loss since the rise of Xianbei. All the Chanyus of Xianbei were killed on the spot, and the system established by Xianbei since Tanshihuai almost collapsed. Such a person's
Do you need to doubt your ability?
So the army led by such a person not only made no achievements in the Yanmen battle but also made many mistakes?
The most important thing is that Zhang Yi, who had just wiped out his entire army a few days ago, opened something in his heart in the blink of an eye like a decadent young man who had smashed five stones, and then like a Wushuang, he single-handedly destroyed all the enemies.
Kill it like a sheep.
Then what was the request for help some time ago? Can you please stop being so deceitful?
Well, Liu Hong, the Roaring Emperor, would probably not be used for such "trivial matters" so easily, but compared to Zhang Yi, who was beaten by the Xianbei people before and was in a state of embarrassment, Liu Hong would rather trust Li Shushi and his men
Proven generals and troops.
Just like Huangfu Song, although Liu Hong didn't mind following the eunuch's hand to suppress this outstanding general, in his heart, Liu Hong had no doubts about Huangfu Song's ability or loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Maybe he
They have the color of certain interest groups, but human beings are inherently
It is a species with social attributes, not to mention that everyone has different views on the same thing due to different genes and living environment. As long as it is beneficial to Liu Hong on the whole, and does not infringe on him at the same time,
core interests, then Liu Hong is also willing to give his trust.
Huangfu Song was like this, and Li Shushi was the same way.
However, I don't know if Zhang Yi joined the eunuch's family, or if Li Shushi offended people a little too much, I didn't expect that the eunuch and the aristocratic family would join forces to find trouble for him.
If it weren't for the eunuch's secret trick, how could the memorial that Li Shushi handed to him disappear? Liu Hong didn't believe that Li Shushi's elite men would be easily killed by others. Of course, Liu Hong didn't intend to go into detail about such a matter.
, anyway, even if his subordinates are all monolithic, the emperor still wants to create a little trouble for his subordinates to fight for his own safety, not to mention that they themselves have already started a quarrel for unknown reasons, and Liu Hong is still happy to do so.
"Little guy, you have stayed in Xihe long enough from the end of the first year of Zhongping to now. Although you have done a lot of extraordinary things, you have made so many achievements in such a difficult place. You are indeed
You are worthy of my trust in you. I was wrong. I was deceived by you, a little slippery man. As a result, I made you five
There is no need to pay taxes for you to strengthen your army. Who would have thought that Xihe could be under your leadership. Although it is not as prosperous as the most prosperous areas in the Central Plains, it is still prosperous and exciting. Let's see, if Xianbei is really a big problem
If it can be relieved, let you go to a safer place to enjoy your happiness."
After all, Liu Hong still hopes to maximize his profits, not to mention that there are many things in Xihe that he is very interested in.
Perhaps, Li Shushi beating the Xianbei people too hard was not as wonderful as it seemed.
