Eight hundred and forty-ninth chapter Wufu Dangguo (2)
Liu Che stood on the North Tower, looking down at the scenery of the city.
Behind him are the four major flatterers of the Han family: Shaofu Ling Tao Hou Liu She, Fuyang Hou Chen Jia, Wuyang Hou Fanshi and Zhongshui Hou Lu Qingjian.
The alternate sycophants lined up behind these four people.
It's not that they don't want to become regular employees, it's that Liu Che thinks that four sycophants are enough.
Just enough for the four King Kongs.
Any more will make you unhappy.
"Your Majesty, Yunzhong County has just come to report that the Huns envoy has entered the pass!" Wang Dao said quietly beside Liu Che.
Liu Che nodded after hearing this and ordered: "Just ask Dahonglu to send two officials with 400 shi to Xiaoguan to prepare for the reception!"
In the past, when Hun envoys came to Chang'an, at least Da Honglu's deputy received them at Xiaoguan. In many cases, Da Honglu or even Taichang personally received them.
But now...
The Han Dynasty was already qualified to show off in front of the Huns.
Since ancient times, this diplomatic exchange has best reflected the changes in the status of the two countries.
I remember that during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, when the Han envoys went to the Huns, the Bank of China tried to make things difficult and humiliating, and even threatened: The Han Dynasty just sends more silks, delicacies, treasures and gold. If the things given are not good enough, then be careful of the Huns soldiers.
Pressure the border, trample and ravage the borders of the Han Dynasty.
This is the retribution of heaven, and the situation is changing. It is time to let the Huns know how powerful they are.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Dao did not accept the order and left as before. Instead, he handed over a small note and said: "This is a secret memorial written by Duke Wei..."
Liu Che took it, glanced at it, and then changed his attitude: "Let Dahonglu Gongsun Kunxie go to receive him personally outside Xiaoguan. As soon as the Huns envoy arrives, he will immediately escort him to Ganquan Palace with cavalry. I will go to Ganquan Palace to meet him.
Discuss..."
"No!" Wang Dao accepted the order and left.
Liu Che looked at the north and sneered twice.
"This Xiongnu envoy has really become the Xiongnu's kneeling agent?"
"It's so funny!" Liu Che shook his head in his heart.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually not surprising.
Don't think that such bureaucrats will appear after two thousand years.
Looking back at history, in fact, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people like this.
Whether it is East or West, past or future.
As long as you read carefully, you can always find many similar people or groups.
To many bureaucrats, what is the country? Can it be eaten?
Being traitorous to the country and enriching oneself is the characteristic of this kind of people!
Liu Che remembered very clearly that when the Northern Song Dynasty was about to perish, the Song Dynasty civil servants in Bianliang City rushed to start the competition to provide convenience for the Jin soldiers.
They made foolish moves one after another, destroying all the last elites and vitality of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Then what.
Together with Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, they were escorted by Jin soldiers and dragged away like dogs.
Moreover, before being dragged away, he had to watch helplessly as his wealth was looted by the Jin soldiers and his wife and daughter were ravaged by the Jin soldiers.
And when Attila, the whip of God, punished the European continent, the Roman bureaucrats were no better.
As for the nomads, if they lose their moral integrity and kneel down to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Then there is no lower limit.
For example, Chen Tang traveled thousands of miles and cut off the head of the Zhizhi Chanyu. What do you think the reaction of the other Xiongnu Chanyus was?
Everyone is kneeling!
No one stood up and said that Chen Tang's killing was wrong.
For selfish bureaucrats, there is no pressure to betray the country for their own benefit.
Otherwise, there would be no such idiom as raising bandits and respecting oneself.
Now, this guy named Qiequ Qiediaonan wants to support the bandits and respect themselves. Of course Liu Che will do what he wants.
My hero, his enemy, his traitor. My humerus!
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
It would be even more wonderful if the Huns were all pig teammates!
"Should I give him a little kickback?" Liu Che thought in his mind.
Kickbacks are a great weapon against bureaucrats, especially irresponsible bureaucrats!
In the face of kickbacks, even the legendary incorruptible Midea Department kneels down and sings of conquest.
As for the wonders of the world, the giants from the third brother's family have even mastered their skills in getting kickbacks.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of kickbacks that the bureaucracy flourished.
"Well, it's such a happy decision!" Liu Che said in his heart.
At this time, the team of victorious soldiers in the distance was getting closer and closer.
Liu Che then buried these thoughts deeply in his heart, puffed up his chest, and waited for his soldiers to return.
His mentality at this moment is somewhat similar to that of a farmer uncle.
In spring, he buried a seed in the ground and worked hard on watering, weeding, and fertilizing, just to wait for the satisfaction of the autumn harvest.
He spent four years and countless resources working hard to cultivate his new army.
In order for this army to be able to win every battle and gain success, he did not hesitate to personally unlock the seal of the Han family's dying military lord Ming Tianzhai, which had taken two generations and thirty years to break.
This farming and fighting monster created by Shang Yang for the Qin State was released back into the world.
Finally, today, the results of all this hard work and effort will be revealed before his eyes.
"Yin Zhixie..." Liu Che couldn't wait to see the head of this hero who once brought the Xiongnu Empire out of adversity in history.
Without Yin Zhixie, he relied on military officials and his short-lived son.
The hegemony of the Xiongnu Empire was already crumbling.
Liu Che seemed to have seen the future where the Xiongnu Empire would fall apart and collapse suddenly after the death of the military officials.
A unified Xiongnu was a serious concern for the Han Dynasty.
But a divided Huns...
Just look at the funny faces when the Five Danyus stand side by side and you will know that these guys are just here to make fun of them.
"Let's go!" Liu Che opened his hands and asked his left and right men to put on a set of armor for him, and then fastened the Emperor's Crown Liu.
In this way, although it looks a bit nondescript.
But Liu Che feels very good about himself.
Therefore, he ignored the strange looks in the eyes of the courtiers behind him.
After Liu Che dressed neatly, he led his officials down the stairs of the tower.
At the entrance of the corridor, his emperor's chariot was already waiting for him.
As the emperor, he was the natural supreme commander of the three armies of the Han Empire, the commander of all armies, and the superior of all generals.
Regardless of whether it is according to Zong Zhou's tradition or Liu Che's inner thoughts, this time, when the meritorious soldiers return, no matter what, he, the emperor, must conduct a review.
The purpose of the review is to close the relationship between the royal family and the military.
Especially these soldiers who returned from victory.
In the future, they will become generals, captains, captains, and commanders, and become the skeleton that supports the Han army.
To master them is to master the whole army.
Even big businessmen know that they want to marry off their daughters to win over these talents.
As the emperor, he personally went out to encourage and encourage them, and let all the soldiers see with their own eyes what their ruler, the supreme commander, was like.
In this way, the imperial power can quietly penetrate into the hearts of these people and leave a deep impression. (To be continued.)
ps: I just went out for dinner and was hit by a sudden rainstorm.
Let me go, the crazy weather in Nanning~ almost made me soaked in water. Fortunately, I am smart and my dodge talent is maxed out. Otherwise, I might catch a cold tomorrow~
