Chapter seven hundred and fortieth chapter eradication prelude
Ma Wu and Wang Ba had a great time dancing with their swords, and Liu Xiu and all the generals also watched with great enjoyment, laughing one after another. Ma Wu and Wang Ba were sweating all over, and they were both tired, so they finally said goodbye.
a paragraph.
The two of them put down their shields and wooden swords, each holding a wine glass, came to Liu Xiu and said, "I would like to give you a drink, your majesty!"
Liu Xiu waved to Zhang Kun, who immediately came over with a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu and Ma Wu, Wang Ba, bowed to each other, and then drank the wine in one gulp. Liu Xiu took the empty cup,
He smiled and said, "The cooperation between Zizhang and Yuan Bo can be said to be skillful and tacit understanding!"
Ma Wu and Wang Ba looked at each other, snorted in unison, and immediately turned their heads to the other side. Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed, patted their shoulders, and turned back to his throne. Ma Wu
Wu and Wang Ba also returned to their respective seats. At this time, a dancing girl came over to pour wine for Wang Ba. Wang Ba, who was in high spirits, didn't think much. He raised his arms, hugged the dancing girl's waist, and moved back.
Hold it directly in your arms.
Wu Ji didn't expect him to be like this and couldn't help but exclaimed. Others may not have noticed, but when Song Hong saw it, he became furious and slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Wang Ba, you are so presumptuous!
Be bold!”
This sudden voice startled Wang Ba and everyone present, including Liu Xiu. Wang Ba, who was dizzy from drinking, suddenly woke up and realized that he had lost his composure and had done something inappropriate.
He hurriedly let go of the dancing girl in his arms, and the latter rolled out of Wang Ba's arms and knelt on the ground, her body trembling and shaking.
Again, the women in the palace, no matter whether the emperor favors them or not, in theory, they all belong to the emperor, including the lowest-level palace maids, so the palace strictly prohibits adultery between palace maids and guards.
Now the king is forgetful and molests the dancer in the palace in public. At the most, it is disrespectful and contemptuous of the emperor. At the most, it is very against etiquette and rules.
Wang Ba, who was woken up by Song Hong, reacted and realized that he had just made a stupid mistake. He hurriedly left the table, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xiu, and said urgently: "I have lost my composure and deserved death. Please forgive me!"
Liu Xiu was stunned for a while before he realized where Wang Ba had gone wrong.
Before Liu Xiu could speak, Song Hong stood up, bowed his hands and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the king molested the women in the palace in public, and has no regard for the emperor. This is an unforgivable crime, and your majesty must punish him severely!"
Most scholars are very meticulous, and Song Hong is one of the best.
He originally looked down on the arrogance and arrogance of military generals after they achieved military exploits. Now that Wang Ba made a mistake in public, Song Hong would certainly not let go of this opportunity to impeach him.
Wang Ba knelt on the ground without saying a word. Ma Wuteng stood up suddenly, raised his hands to Liu Xiu and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ba just lost his temper after drinking and made a small mistake. I think there is no need to make a big deal out of it!"
Even though the two of them always bickered, when the critical moment came, it was Ma Wu who was the first to stand up and speak out for Wang Ba.
The rest of the generals also stood up and begged Liu Xiu for mercy. Some of the people who begged for mercy had no friendship with Wang Ba at all. The reason why they were willing to stand up and help at this time was because they couldn't stand the carping of civil servants.
Fu Zhan stood up, bowed his hands and saluted, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty inherits the Han Dynasty and attaches great importance to Han Dynasty. Etiquette and law must not be abolished!"
Liu Xiu looked at the civil servants and then at the military generals. He felt that the civil servants and generals were carrying them tonight. He pondered for a moment, smiled leisurely, and said: "I will reward this dancer to Uncle Yuan. That's it."
How is it?"
Deng Yu's eyes lit up, he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wu Han, Ma Wu and other generals also said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!" After speaking, Ma Wu turned to Song Hong and gave Fu Zhan a fierce look.
Liu Xiu rewarded Wang Ba with this dancing girl, so it doesn't matter if he hugs or holds her as he pleases! Liu Xiu happily looked around at the people present and said slowly: "If the generals are in harmony, the world will be settled. If the generals
If we are at odds with each other and are busy with internal conflicts, how can our Han Dynasty last long?"
After hearing what he said, Fu Zhan and Song Hong blushed, bowed to Liu Xiu, stood up and sat back on the mat. The generals headed by Wu Han were also about to sit down when Liu Xiu said: "
Da Sima!"
"Your Majesty!" Wu Han bowed.
"I heard that there was some misunderstanding between you and Ziyi, and you even said that you wanted to kill Ziyi. Is this possible?" Kou Xun killed Wu Han's favorite general, which made Wu Han furious and passed by Yingchuan County.
When they arrived at the Mansion, he really wanted to settle a score with Kou Xun, but Kou Xun sent someone to prepare a sumptuous meal for them. Wu Han, including himself, was so full that he burped and could not move.
The matter of Kou Xun's settlement of accounts has been discontinued.
Now when Liu Xiu asked about this matter, Wu Han shrank his neck and whispered: "Weichen... those were just Weichen's angry words..."
Liu Xiu asked cheerfully: "Ziyan is devoted to the Han Dynasty, and Ziyi is also devoted to the Han Dynasty. Ziyan and Ziyi are both the pillars of the Han Dynasty. When they are united, they will prosper the Han Dynasty, and when they are divided, they will weaken the Han Dynasty. In this way,
Don’t Ziyan understand?”
Wu Han secretly felt ashamed, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "I know my mistake! I will remember your Majesty's teachings!"
Liu Xiu laughed loudly, picked up the wine glass, waved to Wu Han, motioning him to return to his seat, then looked at Fu Zhan, Song Hong and other civil servants, and said, "Come on, let's all have a drink together!"
What he just said was not only for Wu Han, but also for Fu Zhan and Song Hong.
Ruling the country is inseparable from civil servants like them, and conquering the world is also inseparable from Wu Han, Gai Yan and other generals. Everyone is dedicated to the Han Dynasty, but their responsibilities are different, so why do they have to be divided into high and low, superior and inferior?
?
Fu Zhan, Song Hong and other civil servants were all talented people. They all lowered their heads, picked up their wine glasses, and toasted to Liu Xiu. As for Wang Ba's gaffe, no one said anything more.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu's smile became a little brighter, and he drank a drink with the civil servants on the right and the general on the left.
Everyone enjoyed the banquet very much and drank a lot of wine. When the banquet was over and they were walking out, many ministers helped each other out of the hall.
Liu Xiu did not go to the West Palace tonight, but to the Changqiu Palace. Guo Shengtong was pregnant again, and Liu Xiu was still very excited.
When he arrived at Changqiu Palace, a palace maid saw him and was about to enter the inner hall to report. Liu Xiu waved his hand, called the palace maid, and then walked straight in.
In the main hall, Guo Shengtong was taking a bath. In the back hall of the main hall, there was a large pool. The water in the pool was changed regularly every day. The water in the pool was at room temperature. There were petals floating in the water, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.
Looking at Guo Shengtong sitting on the edge of the pool, naked and with his two little feet soaked in the water, Liu Xiudun felt his mouth go dry.
He silently took off his jade belt, took off the outer crown robe, then took off the inner shirt and inner clothes, and then walked slowly behind Guo Shengtong.
He squatted down behind Guo Shengtong, put his hands around his waist, and hugged him back. Guo Shengtong suddenly woke up from his nap, and was about to exclaim, when he turned around and saw that it was Liu Xiu.
Said: "Why didn't anyone inform me when Your Majesty came?"
Liu Xiu sat down behind Guo Shengtong and asked with a smile: "Zitong, don't you welcome me here?"
Guo Shengtong turned back and rolled his eyes at him, pouted and said, "How could I not welcome your majesty? It's just that I thought your majesty only knew about the West Palace now and had forgotten about my Changqiu Palace!"
Liu Xiu took the sour Guo Shengtong into his arms and said, "I have neglected Zi Tong during this period!" As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Guo Shengtong's lips.
Guo Shengtong kissed Liu Xiu passionately, but suddenly, her body trembled, and she touched her belly subconsciously, her face flushed, and she frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, not tonight..."
Liu Xiu whispered in her ear: "I will be careful!"
The next day, in court.
Fulong started again and proposed that he wanted to go to Yanzhou to appease Zhang Bu. Before Liu Xiu could express his position, Fu Zhan, Song Hong and other civil servants came out one after another, all agreeing to let Fulong go to appease Zhang Bu.
The civil servants still had the desire to compete with the generals.
Don't think that you are the only generals who can conquer the world. Civil servants, with their sharp minds and sharp tongues, can often achieve their goals without losing any soldiers or blood. This is comparable to the generals who only know how to kill, act recklessly, and be clever.
Much more.
Seeing that so many ministers supported Fulong in recruiting Zhang Bu, Liu Xiu hesitated many times and finally agreed to the matter.
However, he still warned Fulong: "Zhang Bu is a double-dealing person with short-sightedness. This is a dangerous move. Doctor Fu must be cautious. If it is difficult to accomplish, and do not do it forcefully, you must evacuate Yanzhou in time."
To put it bluntly, Liu Xiu didn't have much hope that Fulong could persuade Zhang Bu to surrender. He asked Fulong to prioritize self-preservation. It would be best if he could persuade Zhang Bu to surrender. If he couldn't persuade Zhang Bu to surrender, it wouldn't matter.
I wish you could come back alive.
Fulong kowtowed to Liu Xiu and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this humble minister's trip will definitely fulfill his mission!"
He wanted to appease Zhang Bu this time not only to vent his anger on the civil servants, but also to vent his anger on himself.
He was able to sit in the position of Doctor Guanglu, and many people were talking behind his back, saying that he relied on his father Fu Zhan, who was the Great Situ, and he relied on his uncle Fu An, who was Guang Luxun.
If he can successfully recruit Zhang Bu this time, then he can stop everyone's mouths. He got the position of Doctor Guanglu by virtue of his true talents and learning.
Seeing Fulong who wanted to achieve great achievements and great achievements, Liu Xiu was worried. His mentality was wrong. He was too eager for success and quick success.
He looked at Fu Zhan meaningfully, and Fu Zhan nodded to Liu Xiu, saying that it was safe to leave the matter to Fulong.
As the saying goes, a son is better than his father. Since Fu Zhan has repeatedly stated that Fulong is qualified for this important task, Liu Xiu has nothing to say, and the matter has been settled.
After discussing the matter of recruiting Zhang Bu, Liu Xiu looked around the ministers and asked, "Do you have anything else to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Deng Yu raised the wat board and said.
Liu Xiu smiled and asked softly: "General You, what are you going to do?"
Deng Yu said: "Although the old tribe of Chimei has surrendered to the Han Dynasty, according to the recent knowledge of Weichen, Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Feng An, Xie Lu and others have secretly organized the old tribe to plot evil and wait for opportunities to rebel. Your Majesty, please
Decide!"
"Oh?" Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this happening?"
Jia Fu raised the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, what the right general said is true. This is indeed true!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu An stepped out of the queue, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed true!"
The right general Deng Yu, who was in charge of Jinwu Jiafu, and Guang Luxun, who was in charge of An, all said with certainty that the old tribe of Chimei was going to rebel. This is very interesting.
If the old Red Eyebrows were really going to rebel, and all three of them knew about it, then the matter must have caused a storm in the city, but in fact, no one among the civil servants had ever heard of such a thing.
Song Hong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs further investigation!"
Just as Fu Zhan was about to follow Song Hong's words, Fu An coughed. Fu Zhan subconsciously looked at Fu An, who nodded slightly, hinting to his brother not to say anything.
Who are Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Feng An, and Xie Lu? He is the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, a big shot known to everyone in the world.
What happened to the Red Eyebrow Army back then? They were running rampant in Shandong, Hebei, and Henan, and no one could stop them. Now they have surrendered, but as long as they are still alive, do you think His Majesty can feel at ease?
