Chapter 823: Emperors and ministers of the Han family are happy (2)
"Good news ahead!" Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was processing an official document when he suddenly heard the whole prime minister erupting in excitement.
Countless officials and officials dropped their pens and papers, jumping and shouting, excited.
Even Zhou Yafu trembled when he heard this and could no longer hold his pen steady.
"Prime Minister, great victory ahead!" An official hurriedly ran in to announce the good news: "A few days ago, the Hussar army formed an array outside the Wuzhou Fortress, defeated the Xiongnu Zhelan headquarters face to face, gave birth to King Zhelan, and obtained his great banner! More than four thousand people were beheaded.
, caught thousands!”
"An unprecedented victory!"
Zhou Yafu also stood up immediately and waved his fist uncontrollably.
"Let's go, prepare a car for me immediately. I want to enter the palace and congratulate His Majesty!" Zhou Yafu said excitedly.
These days, Zhou Yafu has been under unimaginable pressure.
In the world of public opinion, there are nobles, nobles, officials, gentry and people from high to low.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, the prime minister who advocated the war and resolutely advocated the war.
It is conceivable that if there is a slight setback in the war ahead, countless attacks and impeachments will come flooding in.
Those who have long mouths or have nephews in the army dare not make irresponsible remarks about Weiyang Palace, but they certainly dare to point fingers at him, the prime minister.
Now, this critical burden has been swept away in front of this victory.
Zhou Yafu felt that his whole body was relaxed.
more importantly……
Zhou Yafu cast his sight in the direction of Ba Ling and Yang Ling.
"The two late emperors, Jiuquanxia, will surely be pleased to receive this good news!" Zhou Yafu said in his heart: "Taizong, Renzong, the two late emperors, I have lived up to your majesty's trust!"
As the Tuogu minister chosen by two generations of emperors, Zhou Yafu had accumulated a lot of pressure in his heart for a long time.
He not only has to bear external pressure, but also internal pressure.
At this moment, he knew that even if he died in the future, when he met the two late emperors under Jiuquan, he would still be able to report with honor on his face: "Your Majesty, I have lived up to my command!"
This is very important to people like Zhou Yafu.
After the pressure that had been accumulated for a long time was swept away, Zhou Yafu felt that even his walking became lighter. The fatigue and fatigue on his body disappeared without a trace.
…………………………
At this moment, Qili's general Wei Qihou was in the palace.
A banquet is being held.
More than a dozen maids danced in the hall.
Dou Ying drank until Lingding got very drunk.
His horse boy had just been fished out of Tingwei's prison, but he had been deprived of all titles and official positions. Guan Fu, who had announced that he would never be employed, was so drunk that he didn't even know who he was.
"The man is full of talents, but he has nowhere to use them!" Guan Fu held up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth, his whole body smelling of decadence.
When Guan Fu thought about it, he just trampled a few mud-legged people to death.
The emperor punished him a little, such as dismissing him from office, and punishing him with three drinks of wine. It would be better if he didn't do it again.
Why should it be so?
He has made great contributions to the country!
Back then, when facing the Wu and Chu rebels, even though his father died in battle, he still led the charge, killed the generals and captured the flag. Even the prime minister praised him: He is truly a great husband.
However, the emperor today did not consider his merits at all and brutally sent him to prison.
When facing the joint trial team composed of Zhang Anguo, the governor of Longyou County, Guan Fu was in panic all day long.
The fault is not that the general missed his old love and begged for help. He is already a dead man at this moment!
Even so, he gave everything he had and sacrificed everything.
If it weren't for the general's protection, I'm afraid he would have returned to his original form and become a slave to Ying Yin Hou again!
And Dou Ying was also full of grievances, just like a woman.
He raised his wine glass and said, "Zhong Ru is like this, how can I, Dou Ying, not be like this?"
"Full of talents and ambitions, but they are left idle!" Dou Ying said in a daze: "The same is true for Yuan Ji. They are both good husbands and loyal ministers, but they are not reused and can only drink and drink all day long.
Companion, there is no way to serve the country!"
When Dou Ying thought about it, he, Guan Fu, and Yuan An were all top-notch talents.
Nowadays, they are all isolated from the decision-making circle.
He's a bit better, he has the title of general.
But it's only in name.
All military affairs and affairs were no longer reported to him after the war between Han and Hungary.
Looking at Yi Zong and Wei Chi, they were convinced that they would lead the troops one by one.
Dou Ying felt really bad.
He can't lead troops, and he doesn't even report military information to him. What kind of general is this general?
Worse than a captain of the Confederate Army!
In Dou Ying's view, Yi Zong? Wei Chi? What the hell?
Just two kids!
One has no qualifications and the other has no background.
It's just that one relies on having a good sister, and the other relies on having a good boss.
Why do you want to become a general and lead the troops in battle?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt.
"General, don't be sad..." Guan Fu took the wine glass and said, "In my opinion, Yi Zong and Wei Chi have no ability, no means, and no reputation and prestige. This battle will definitely not have any good results.
Once they suffer a loss, Your Majesty will definitely have to rely on the great generals!"
This is also what Guan Fu wants to see most now.
As long as Yi Zong and Wei Chi cannot complete their mission, or even lose troops and generals, the emperor will have to rely on important generals.
When the time comes, I can rely on this relationship to make a comeback.
The big deal is, just be careful in the future and stop messing around...
However, at this moment, a retainer came in and reported, "Your Majesty, just now a messenger from Weiyang Palace came to deliver a message, saying that your Majesty is hosting a banquet in Weiyang Palace tonight and invites the general to attend the banquet!"
When Guan Fu heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Look! Look! Your Majesty should find the general to come out!"
Dou Ying, however, had mixed emotions.
For him, if something goes wrong in the battle ahead, it could be a big problem.
From this perspective, he certainly hopes that the front will win.
However, if the front wins, doesn't it mean that he is a dispensable role?
In such a mood, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, he felt very conflicted and asked: "Do you know what your Majesty has ordered me to do?"
"You don't know what you are doing. When you are waiting for Yan Yin, people in Chang'an are already spreading the word: Hussar has won a great victory!" said the retainer.
"What!?" When Guan Fu heard this, he suddenly woke up from the wine and felt completely lost.
"It is said that the Huns formed a formation outside the Wuzhou Great Wall. They defeated the Xiongnu King Zhelan's headquarters face to face and gave birth to King Zhelan. They beheaded and captured countless people. The main force of the Xiongnu has been surrounded by the Huns, Juzhu Army and Feihu Army to the north of Mayi.
On the battlefield south of Wuzhou, the defeat of the Northern Barbarians is just around the corner!" the retainer said with dancing joy.
In the face of this unprecedented victory, the entire Han Dynasty, regardless of class, faction or mountain top, was celebrating the victory.
Driven by simple sentiments of patriotism and nationalism.
Even the prisoners in prison and the *** under house arrest could not help but jump up and cheer for this victory.
But Guanfu only felt that his face was burning and hurting terribly.
Just now he was talking about Yi Zong, but this slap in the face came immediately.
He almost took the initiative to put his face up to be beaten.
"The Poetry of Nan Zhong..." When Dou Ying heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed with relief.
No matter what his current situation or role is.
However, the Han army came out of the fortress and won the victory, and even defeated such a powerful enemy as the Xiongnu Zhelan tribe face to face.
As a member of the people of Zhuxia, Dou Ying immediately left behind all his previous complaints, grievances and dissatisfaction.
Just win!
As long as you win!
It is better for the Yi and Di to have a king than for the Xia to have none!
Now, justice has won such a great victory.
This is not just his victory!
It is a victory for the entire country, nation and the world!
This victory swept away all the haze and pressure of the Han family in the past fifty-six years.
As long as everyone is a person who has read books, Dou Ying feels that he should applaud this victory, cheer for this victory, and raise a glass to this victory!
"The illustrious Hussar, show off the power of our army and avenge me!" Dou Ying said with relief, "Drink this cup to the full for the Hussar!"
Seeing this, Guan Fu had to raise his glass even though he was reluctant.
In the face of this great and sacred victory, everyone, any force, any mountain, and any faction must cheer for it.
Anyone who doesn't do this is equivalent to extirpating himself from the world.
…………………………………………
The news of victory is like a letter from a swan goose.
In a short period of time, it spread throughout Chang'an in an instant!
In an instant, the whole city fell into a sea of joy.
All the alcoholic beverages in the wine shops were sold out instantly.
And countless families also became extremely ecstatic in an instant.
Victory means that the husband, son, and eldest brother who went to war have a high probability of returning safely.
Not only will he return safely, he will also bring home honor, wealth and status.
Under the dew cloth, the good news issued by the imperial court was read out repeatedly by the scholars one by one until their mouths were dry and the people and scholars enjoyed it endlessly.
For the first time in history, there was an example of Mohists and Confucian scholars drinking alone at the same table in the same wine shop, getting drunk and sleeping in each other's arms.
The great victory united the people and eliminated conflicts.
Even Confucianism and Mohism were feuding and mortal enemies.
In the face of this great and sacred victory, we temporarily put aside our barriers and disputes, and toasted, laughed and celebrated together for the victory.
And when the people began to learn that it was the breastplate jointly made by Mo Yuan and Shaofu that contributed to this great victory.
The status of the Mohist family immediately rose steadily.
Countless people spontaneously send their blessings and hospitality to every barefoot ink artist who appears in the market.
On that day, all the wine shops in Chang'an City gave free orders to all people from the Shaofu and Mo family.
As for Mo School, it has ushered in an unprecedented wave of registrations.
There were even direct descendants of the princes who appeared in the registration sequence.
Chinese people have been the most realistic since ancient times.
No matter what school of thought, if it is practical, effective and useful, the people will accept and believe it.
If it can help everyone get promoted and make a fortune, and win wealth and beauty, then it will definitely be welcomed by all classes.
The Mo family and the Shaofu worked together to create the breastplate, a magical weapon.
Of course it was immediately recognized and accepted by the public.
Even within Taixue, some students began to appeal and request for the appointment of great sages among Mohists as professors of Taixue.
The military also immediately increased its support for Mo Yuan.
Countless heads in the mountains began to pay attention to the Mohist breastplate production workshop in Shanglin Garden.
Military personnel are undoubtedly the most realistic and practical group of all classes.
For soldiers, anything that can help them win is a good thing.
For the sake of victory, let alone enshrining the Mohist as a master.
I would even like to be a grandson!
…………………………
The good news of victory continues to spread.
Two hours later, it appeared under the dew cloth of the rural pavilion in Guanzhong.
Suddenly, millions of soldiers and civilians in the seventy-two counties of Guanzhong were plunged into a sea of joy.
All the families of soldiers and civilians who went to war were so excited that they couldn't help shouting.
Many people know that the fate of their families and even their families will be changed by this victory.
And those families who went out to fight as soldiers beat gongs and drums, were surrounded by the whole village, paraded through the streets to celebrate, and crackled firecrackers in the fire.
On that day, all the wine merchants in Guanzhong had their stocks cleared.
Countless people count money until their hand tendons hurt.
However, the ones who benefit the most are the Shi family who have mastered the rail transportation franchise rights.
Because the Guanzhong wine was out of stock, the demand for wine increased significantly, and the market demand became beyond people's imagination overnight.
Therefore, merchants from Guanzhong had to buy from Guandong.
Just by transporting wine from Guandong into Guanzhong, the master's family collected millions in money.
What's more, they also sell alcohol themselves.
The profit was so huge that even Shidan was a little stunned.
So much so that his sons sighed: "It would be great if there was such a great victory every year!"
If there is a great victory every year, Guanzhong will celebrate every year.
Just from selling wine, Shi's family will make a lot of money!
"How can it be impossible to have great victories every year?" Shidan, a wily and scheming teacher, chuckled: "Your Majesty is very decisive. His plans are so big that ordinary people can't even imagine them?"
"Qifu, even if there is no war, can't we create a war?" Shi Dan chuckled: "This year we will attack the Xiongnu, next year we will conquer the Xianbei, and next year we will conquer the southwest. As long as we want to, we can always help His Majesty create a war...
"
"How is this possible?" The sons were stunned.
"Why not?" Shidan said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to expand the territory, the soldiers want to gain military honors and have wives and children, the ministers and generals want to go into battle and gain military exploits, and the people want to be motivated and encouraged by victory. That is me and other merchants
, also need war to get rich..."
"The general trend of the world is like this. From now on, whoever resists war or calls for peace will be enemies with Your Majesty, the Han army, the nobles and ministers, and even merchants like us!" Shi Dan waved his sleeves and said calmly: "
There is no way to pray for God's sin! Unless the world's general trend undergoes irreversible changes like now, this war cannot be stopped!"
Shi Dan can remember clearly that it was like this during the previous dynasty.
Once the war machine starts, it cannot be stopped.
But now, what is even more terrifying than the previous dynasty is that the Han family already knows what exists outside the distant world.
This means that as long as the Han army does not suffer a terrible and complete defeat, then this machine will become a perpetual motion machine.
Nowadays, no one except today is slowing down the machine even a little bit.
However, it just so happens that the person who controls the brakes and brakes is precisely the one who starts this machine and makes it start to operate... (To be continued.) xh:.218.204.13
