The war on the distant grasslands has nothing to do with China within the Great Wall...,
At this moment, the land of China has begun to enter the harvest season.
The forces of several entire countries have been concentrated to make various preparations for the autumn harvest.
Especially in Guanzhong, in order to prevent farmers from being cheated, Liu Che specifically ordered the Da Nong Ling and the Yushi Dafu Yamen to dispatch inspection teams to supervise and inspect the grain purchase and tax payment in various counties in Guanzhong.
At the same time, Liu Che also ordered that the counties in Guanzhong be granted exclusive rights to participate in the Shuo Wang Dynasty in September.
The response from both the government and the opposition was muted.
Now the courtiers and nobles finally understand.
The emperor just likes to play some new tricks every now and then.
If you confront him, you may get burned.
If that's the case, then let's just have him!
Anyway, as long as it doesn't go too far and affects the national policies and systems, then it's up to him.
Moreover, in essence, this power belongs to a member of the ruling class.
Their status was guaranteed by the Han Code and the edict of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.
In October of every year, the Neishi Yamen and the officials at all levels of the prefectures and states in the world will invite all the powerful people under their jurisdiction to jointly discuss the system of Pingjia?
It seems harmless to raise the level of government-citizen consultations like this that have been implemented for more than 20 years by one or two levels. Anyway, the Shuowang Dynasty has always been a place for rhetoric, and the real decision-making is still in the court.
But Liu Che felt secretly happy in his heart.
Now he finally understood why the old Liu family and successive generations of emperors would definitely leave the impression that they would retaliate.
In fact, it was not that the emperor himself was narrow-minded, but that he was not so narrow-minded and could not intimidate his ministers and establish his authority.
It is conceivable that Liu Che had always behaved like a good gentleman before.
Not to mention now, the powerful people are allowed to participate in the Synodic Dynasty.
I am afraid that in the past few times, the nobles, nobles and scholar-bureaucrats have tested his weakness.
Then, it is very possible. Now, Liu Che has become a clay statue locked up in Weiyang Palace.
Ministers like Pingyang Hou Cao Shen, who could spit saliva in his face, would pop up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Isn't it true that the emperors of the Song and Ming Dynasties were turned into puppets on strings by the scholar-bureaucrats?
Two days later, Song Zihou Xu Jiu and three people went to the palace to pay a visit.
No need to ask, those three people must be Wu Qui, Jinchang, and Zuo Wu among the three Huainan Eight Sons from the previous life who co-authored "People's Wealth" with Xu Jiu.
Liu Che specially took time to meet these four people alone in the greenhouse hall.
Wu Bei, Jinchang and Zuo Wu were all very young literati.
Almost all are under thirty years old.
Especially Wu Bei, who looks to be twenty-four or five years old at most.
Liu Che saw it and nodded slightly.
These are all talents!
Especially Wu Bei, Liu Che had read several policy papers written by him alone in his previous life. Generally speaking, he was a very sober and far-sighted figure.
In his previous life, if Wu Bei hadn't been implicated by Liu An, he would most likely have become a minister in the Han Dynasty like Guan Zhong.
As for Jinchang and Zuo Wu, they are also very good scholars, at least they have very good ideas.
Therefore, Liu Che began to love these people for their talents.
Although "People's Wealth" currently still has some relatively radical ideas, they cannot be promoted too openly for the time being.
But "Lu's Spring and Autumn" can!
Therefore, Liu Che was granted the title of Wu Gui, and Zuo Wu and Jinchang were awarded the title of Ph.D. of Qian Shi's "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals".
This actually means that I want to use these three people in the future.
There was a precedent in the Han Dynasty for the transition from doctorate to civil official and even to court official.
After settling the matter, Liu Che gave himself ten days of leave.
After being emperor for more than two years, Liu Che rarely had time to rest.
He felt that if things continued like this, he would most likely follow in the footsteps of the emperor's father.
Liu Che did not want to die young at all.
But it was a pity that Liu Che only rested for less than five days before he was pulled back to the Greenhouse Palace by big news.
Wusun perished.
The information came from Yunzhong County and was confirmed by Lu Tazhi, the second and fifth son of the Xiongnu, King of Donghu.
Wusun's main force was ambushed in Rouge Mountain.
Kunmo Liejiaomi died in the battle, and his eldest son Kundun was seriously injured and captured. Only Dalu led three thousand remnants to escape from the ambush in Rouge Mountain, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
But it can be believed that as a grassland nation, the Wusun have since been eliminated.
All the intelligence showed that Liejiaomi was betrayed by Yi Zhixie.
King Lu Tazhi of Donghu confirmed that Yi Zhixie had been named King Youguli of the Xiongnu.
"Yidi animals are like beasts, they have no moral principles!" Ji An said angrily.
For Ji An, it is indeed difficult for him to let go of his duplicitous character like Yi Zhixie.
Liu Che smiled and said: "This is the nature of the Huns. They don't even support their parents when they grow old, let alone allies?"
Never talk about morality and integrity with nomads.
The world that people live in is a naked jungle world, and it is an extremely cruel world.
Everyone on the grassland has to plan whether he can survive tomorrow.
Talking about benevolence, justice, morality, and integrity when the situation is precarious is not the same as talking about chickens and ducks.
Liu Che's entire attention now has been diverted by this huge change.
There is no doubt that after the death of Wusun, the Huns truly became the unique overlords on the grasslands.
Moreover, with the power of the Xiongnu, all the countries in the Western Regions will obediently play a role for them.
Just like in later generations after the fall of Soviet Russia, the American Empire dominated the world and challenged the whole world.
This incident had a huge impact on the Han Dynasty and Liu Che's plan.
After the death of Wusun, the Han Dynasty lost a reliable and powerful potential ally in the Western Regions.
The Han Dynasty had to shoulder the important task of challenging the Xiongnu alone.
More importantly, Liu Che must adjust his plan.
The start of the war against the Huns has been greatly advanced!
It’s impossible not to do it in advance!
If the Xiongnu plan to advance westward is successful, then the Huns will have access to India.
At that time, even if the Huns were completely defeated on the grasslands, they could retreat to India.
Relying on the hard-working and kind-hearted three brothers, the Huns have the capital to make a comeback at any time.
Another focus of attention is Yi Zhixie's rise to the top.
King Youguli!
This was a high-ranking aristocrat in the Xiongnu pyramid system, second only to the Shan Yu and the left and right virtuous kings.
The name is the second of the twenty-four chiefs. Together with the left and right wise kings and the left and right kings, they form the cornerstone of ruling the grassland.
Therefore, it is also called one of the four corners.
In history, Yi Zhixie raised an army as King Youguli. After the death of his military minister, he overthrew Yu Shan and established himself as Shan Yu.
"It's so lively now!" Liu Che thought to himself.
Obviously, Jun Chen was absolutely certain and could not rest assured about Yi Zhixie no matter what.
It is foreseeable that a new round of power struggle within the Huns is about to begin.
"Summon the prime minister, Zhi Jinwu and the guards to the palace immediately!" Liu Che thought for a moment and immediately gave the order without hesitation.
The entire Han Dynasty's policy towards the Xiongnu and national defense policy will therefore have to be adjusted.
Even the field legions of the Han Dynasty must immediately enter a wartime state. (To be continued.)
