Six hundred and seventy-first chapter sharpen cousin
On the way back to Chang'an from Wugong County, Liu Che received a report from Xinhua.
After reading the report, Liu Che called Wang Dao over and ordered: "Send a few people to Xinhua to check all the members of the mission to see if there is anything missing, and report to me when you come back!"
"No!" Wang Dao nodded, indicating that he had remembered this matter.
Liu Che handed the report to Yan Yi and ordered: "Archive it!"
The experience reported in this report about the envoy Wu Heng's trip to the Xianbei Mountains as a guest is somewhat interesting.
But it only has some meaning.
In terms of today's world situation, Xinhua, North Korea, Wuheng, and Xianbei are all remote actors on the edge.
Just like the earth in later generations, the African black uncle's fights of life and death are just a few seconds of footage on the AV news network. Its importance is not even as important as a school shooting in Midi's house that killed only a few people.
or public accident.
The Northeast and Far East regions are Africa in the current world structure.
Its status and importance were not only lower than the Xiongnu in the north, but also lower than the Mitsukoshi in the south, and only slightly higher than the Southwest Yi in Shu County.
As the emperor, Liu Che didn't even bother to consider the issues between Xianbei and Wuheng people.
However, as a time traveler, Liu Che knew that the nomads on the grasslands could never be trusted, so he would always keep a cautious eye on any nomads.
Even if Yao Ren came to Chang'an and knelt down to lick him, wasn't he also on guard?
As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different minds.
Being always vigilant against alien races is what a normal ruler should do.
"Where are the Huns and how are they doing? Has King Donghu sent back any useful information?" Liu Che asked Wang Dao.
"Reporting to your majesty, I went to Xiuyiwei some time ago. According to the commander of Xiuyiwei Xiongnu Division, there is no definite information at present. There are just some rumors that the Xiongnu will gather in Dragon City this year!" Wang Dao reported immediately.
Xiuyiwei just completed its reorganization not long ago.
Liu Che promoted his lackey, Yuanhou Liu Ci, to the first governor of the Xiuyi Guards.
This Huns Guiyihou, who had been mindlessly kneeling and licking Liu Che since the Hedong period, finally reached the pinnacle of his life.
Although, as the governor, he is actually just a decoration. He only has a name and a sign, and has no real power. This is also Liu Che's latest attempt, which is to use some obedient and sensible princes to serve as the chief officials of certain departments.
They act as sculptures and puppets, while the real power is given to those young and capable people from poor families who lack qualifications and background.
The current servants and embroidered guards are the products of this idea.
Currently, Liu Che has split Xiuyiwei into three divisions with different functions.
That is, the "Tianbu Department" is responsible for the supervision of domestic powerful people and local people's livelihood affairs, and the "Dafu Department" is responsible for supervising and investigating officials, nobles and scholar-bureaucrats. The other is the Yi Di Department, which is responsible for collecting external intelligence and instigating rebellion.
Among the Yi and Di tribes, there is currently only one organization in operation, which is the Xiongnu Division.
The Xiongnu Division currently has hundreds of agents who are familiar with the situation of the Xiongnu.
These people are all nobles from various Yi and Di tribes who have been instigated by the Han Dynasty over the years or who have surrendered to the Han Dynasty from the Xiongnu.
After listening to Wang Dao's words, Liu Che nodded noncommittally.
Liu Che was extremely concerned about the changes in the Xiongnu domestic situation.
He was now waiting for Yi Zhixie to turn against the military officials. For this reason, Liu Che did not even urge Yi Zhixie to fulfill his promise immediately and send the Wusun people safely to the Great Wall.
But until now, there is no news from Yi Zhixie and Junchen.
This made Liu Che a little uneasy.
Military ministers are not fools, and Yi Zhixie is certainly not a fool either.
The mission had so many 'accidents'.
Both the military minister and Yi Zhixie obviously knew that. Those fabricated reasons and excuses can only fool the lower-class nobles. To the upper-class, if you stick your fucking ass, the labor and management will know what you are going to do.
Still want to deceive labor and management? Are you serious?
What's more, the military officials wanted to kill Yi Zhixie for more than a day or two.
Otherwise, Yi Zhixie would not have been deliberately sent to China to seek death.
Now, with such a good excuse, the military officials didn't find fault?
This is very unscientific!
What's even more unscientific is that Yi Zhixie actually returned to Longcheng with such arrogance.
Where is Dragon City?
The cemetery of the Xiongnu ancestors and former kings is located. Such a place, no matter what political structure it is in, is bound to be a territory that will be firmly controlled by kings, chanyus, and emperors.
Otherwise, who can safely go to an area that is not under their control to worship their ancestors?
But Yizhixie ran headlong into Dragon City, which made Liu Che almost suspect that this Yizhixie had changed his ways and decided to sacrifice his own self and sacrifice his life for the centralization of power and tribal unity of the Xiongnu.
"Order the Xiuyi Guards to pay close attention to the situation. If there is any situation, immediately return it to me at any cost and eight hundred miles expedited!" Liu Che continued.
As the emperor, Liu Che had to consider a plan to reach a compromise in the event that the military ministers and Yizhi negotiated peace.
And this is not impossible to happen.
After all, there is a possibility of peace between these two powerful Xiongnu factions.
As long as the military officials are willing to make Yi Zhixie the wise king of the left, or even the wise king of the right, the differences and hatred between the two can be eliminated immediately.
Liu Che didn't believe that the military officials had not heard any news about the changes in the Han Dynasty.
There is a saying in the art of war: anticipate the enemy and be lenient.
Liu Che also had to prepare a response from the worst-case scenario.
While he was thinking about these things, Wang Dao beside him saw the opportunity and knelt down to worship: "Your Majesty, there is something that I don't know whether I should say..."
Liu Che stared at Wang Dao for a while, and then asked: "What's the matter? Let's see..."
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of great concern..." Wang Dao kowtowed.
"Chen Xiu..." Liu Che rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.
Chen Xi and his elder brother Chen Xu have always been the duo of the Han Dynasty's funny relatives.
How funny are these two guys?
Historically, as soon as their mother died, the two brothers started to fight over the family property and made reports on each other.
In the end, the two scumbags were shot and killed.
Currently, Empress Dowager Dou is pressing down on me, and Guan Tao is supporting me on the bottom. Brother Doubi is still relatively honest.
Usually, the most they do is skirt around the law and do some bullying.
Liu Che wouldn't bother to care about these two funny cousins unless necessary.
But since Wang Dao has come forward, he should take advantage of this opportunity to go out on patrol and quietly give Chen Yu a small report.
That can only mean one thing: Chen Hao has indeed offended the public this time.
The last time a eunuch in the Han Dynasty reported on a foreign relative happened decades ago during the reign of Emperor Gao.
It's too old and the background is too complicated, so it no longer has reference value.
"Tell me about it..." Liu Che waved his hand and said.
To be honest, Liu Che sometimes had the urge to stuff the Chen brothers into a rocket and launch them into outer space.
Since last year, brothers Chen Xu and Chen Xi have started to lose their moral integrity.
I don’t know why it’s because of the rebellious period.
Anyway, the reputation of these two brothers in the noble circles of Chang'an has become so bad recently that even Bo Dou's relatives said that we are ashamed to be associated with this generation!
Why?
Because, in the latter September of last year (all leap months in Zhuanxu's calendar are all arranged after September, which is called the latter September), the two brothers accepted a bribe of two million yuan from a powerful man in Guandong. They originally promised to help each other avoid
Yu moved to Guanzhong, but obviously, the two brothers did not have enough face and the matter did not work out.
According to the unspoken rules of honorable people, since the matter is not completed, the money must be refunded.
But these two funny guys refused to back down.
The powerful man obviously had no regard for the honors of his two relatives.
So, let this matter be publicized.
Then, under the pressure of their mother and public opinion, the Chen Xu brothers had no choice but to return the money to each other.
But even so, they still played tricks.
Originally, the other party gave them genuine five-baht coins. But what Brother Chen Xu gave back was all four- or even three-baht coins that could no longer be circulated.
The person who was tricked really burst into tears, but he couldn't express his sorrow.
The entire Chang'an honor circle also felt that this brother was too shameless.
As a result, they all drew a clear line with them. Even Guan Tao felt that they had gone too far, so they imprisoned them for half a month, and sent someone to give the wealthy businessman a hundred gold compensation, and then the matter was settled.
.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened..." Wang Dao knelt down and said, "Didn't Master Luoyang donate a track?"
"Huh?" Liu Che nodded: "Does Longlihou still dare to have the idea of this track?"
"I don't dare!" Wang Dao buried his head and said: "It's just that I heard that Longlihou somehow bought a lot of fields where the track passed, and then took these fields and asked the young man for money.
There are already millions of dollars, and because of this statement, it is going to...the market, so there are a lot of rumors and indignation..."
Damn it!
After Liu Che heard this, he sat up.
I didn’t expect that this guy Chen Xi could actually learn this trick!
"Order people to go to the residence of Princess Guantao immediately and invite Princess Guantao to the palace. I want to have a good chat with my aunt!" Liu Che thought for a while and then ordered.
Then, Liu Che looked at Wang Dao and then at Liu She, the young man who had been driving and following the Emperor's chariot, with a sneer on his lips.
Obviously, Wang Dao's small report could not have been made by him.
If Wang Dao had such a good conscience and hated evil so much, he should have been squatting in the embroidered clothes guard every day to keep an eye on those corrupt officials.
Obviously, this was instigated by someone.
Although it seems that Liu She is very suspicious.
However, Liu Che felt that even if Liu She was given ten more courages, Liu She would not be able to confront Chen Yugang without his own hint.
That was a job to offend the Queen Mother.
Now in the imperial court, Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, is probably the only one with this motive.
"Chao Cuo, the imperial censor, has been working for too long?" Liu Che thought to himself.
On the surface, it seems that Chao Cuo had a good idea and a good starting point.
But from the emperor's perspective, there is collusion and connection between the inside and outside, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?
Therefore, in history, we often see that many ministers originally had good intentions, but the emperor just did not appreciate it and instead defeated them.
The reason is here.
The emperor's thinking is completely different from that of his ministers and the people's thinking.
The emperor has to consider the stability of the country, the continuation of the regime and political stability, while the ministers just want to be loyal to the emperor or loyal to their duties. As for the people, they just want to have three meals a day and have a full stomach.
Fortunately, Liu Che still has a broad mind. At least he thinks he can drive a ship.
Liu Che was not angry about this, nor did he say anything to Wang Dao. Even his dissatisfaction with Chao Cuo only lasted a moment.
After all, it was considered a tradition in the Han Dynasty for the eunuch to hook up with the courtiers.
There are good and bad aspects of this tradition.
Good examples are like Uncle Beigong of the previous generation, who repeatedly made suggestions and built bridges for ministers, and promoted many famous policies and reforms.
The bad ones were undoubtedly the eunuchs who later served as Xiaozhu.
He deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, and even colluded with foreign ministers to frame the prince, causing Liu Zheng to commit suicide.
In short, Liu Che always felt that there were just as many eunuchs as there were emperors.
Therefore, Liu Che felt only slightly unhappy.
…………………………
In the evening, Liu Che returned to Weiyang Palace, and immediately afterwards, Princess Liu Piao of Guantao entered the palace happily.
"The emperor suddenly called my aunt to come to the palace. Is there something wrong?" Liu Prostitute asked generously as soon as he entered the room.
"Auntie, please sit down..." Liu Che looked at his mother-in-law, his eyes darkened. To be honest, if possible, Liu Che would not want such a greedy mother-in-law, but there is no way. This is the reality. For the sake of the throne, he has to
Without paying any price.
When Liu Guo sat down, Liu Che said: "I'm inviting my aunt today because I have something I want to tell her... My two cousins, Chen Xu and Chen Xi, have already married and started a family. I think it's time to entrust them to me.
Heavy duty, tempered!"
"In ancient times, the merits of ministers were divided into five categories: those who established ancestral temples with virtues, those who established the country with merits were called xun, those who used words were called labor, those who exerted their strength were called merits, those who made clear the results were called cutting, and those who accumulated days were called readings. This is why the old book says: Xiehe
This is true of all nations! Two cousins, Chen Xu and Chen Yu, have been in Chang'an all year round. They were born in wealth and grew up in peace and happiness. They don't know the suffering. I feel that this is not possible. How can a big tree grow without going through wind and rain? Without experiencing frost, it will not be possible.
As our pillars, I think we should let our two cousins go to the most difficult place in the Han family to get some exercise. I wonder what my aunt thinks?"
Liu Che can't beat or punish those two cousins now.
The only option is to be like Su's relatives and send them far away to the south, out of sight but out of mind.
Moreover, what makes the Chen brothers even more difficult to deal with than Su's relatives is that these two scum may turn into wild horses and create even bigger troubles when they get there.
With no other choice, Liu Che had no choice but to send them to Xinhua and North Korea.
When they arrived in North Korea, the first thing the Chen Xu brothers had to face was Liu Wu's precious son Liu Ming, and they were evenly matched.
In Xinhua, with Bo Shi suppressing them, I believe they are unlikely to cause too much trouble. At most, they will harm the local Yao people, Wu Heng, Xianbei and so on.
Guantao didn't know this, she thought Liu Che really wanted to train his two incompetent sons.
It just so happened that Guantao also had a headache about his two sons and didn't know what to do. He beat and scolded them, but to no avail.
Since the emperor wants to take over, that's just right!
Therefore, Guantao nodded and thanked: "Since it is the emperor's arrangement, my aunt is naturally satisfied. Everything will follow the emperor's wishes. It's time for those two brats to hone their skills!" (To be continued.)
ps: I wish all book friends a Happy New Year, good luck in the Year of the Monkey, new luck in the New Year, and may everyone make a fortune~
