…
Qin Mo was really worried about Wang Daofu. Who were Bai Qi and Huo Qing? The tiger generals trained by Liu Ce made great contributions to the Han Dynasty! How can you be allowed to insult and slander me?
In addition, the history of humiliation caused by the Hu people outside the Great Wall to the Central Plains is obvious to all. Not to mention other things, the city of Chang'an, which was the center of the Zhou Empire called the Shendu in the previous dynasty, was plundered by the Hu people once, causing countless families to be torn apart. Don't you know anything about it?
Sure enough, Liu Ce's face gradually turned cold when he heard Wang Daofu's words: "So what Wang Daru means is that everything belongs to me, right?
I shouldn't go to war with the Mengluo people. I should be humble and beg for peace with them, meet all the needs of the Hu Nu, and beg them not to embarrass me, the people of the Central Plains? "
Wang Daofu said: "Yes, your majesty was born in the military, and you should understand that the Mengluo cavalry is unparalleled in the world. If our court is defeated, once the Mengluo people cross the Xuanwu Pass and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, it will only cause countless lives to be devastated.
Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first, and while the current situation at Xuanwu Pass has not changed, it is not too late to negotiate peace with the Mengluo people. The barbarians outside the Great Wall only ask for gold, silver, food and women. We have all the vast resources in the Central Plains, so why not give them some? "
Liu Ce sighed softly and fell into deep thought. Wang Daofu thought that Liu Ce's psychological defense had compromised and immediately added: "Besides that, your Majesty should severely punish Huo Qing, Bai Qi and other culprits for provoking the war.
It is best to bring them to justice and send them to the Munro Court, so as to show our sincerity in negotiating peace. As long as we can win the favor of the people of Munro, peace will surely return to the world. "
"Another Kong Yifu and his ilk are groveling and have no dignity." Xu Wenjing glanced at Wang Daofu with a sneer, her eyes full of contempt.
After a long time, Liu Ce nodded and began to say in a strange tone: "I think Wang Daru is right. It is always the innocent people who suffer in war.
Since Wang Daru said that he wants to use the vast resources of our Central Plains to win the favor of the barbarians, then let’s start with you.
Wang Daru's family property is huge, so why not just sell it all and hand it over to the state treasury, and then I will send people to the outside of the Great Wall to make friends with the Mengluo people.
Oh, by the way, I heard that Wang Daru’s granddaughter is in her prime of life, is well-educated and well-educated, and is well versed in etiquette. Although the law of this dynasty prohibits exchanging Han women for benefits with foreigners,
But after all, Wang Daru is so upright and upright, I can't be accommodating. Ye Shangshu, why don't you arrange to give Wang Daru's granddaughter Wang Zhaoxu the status of a princess, and then choose a good and auspicious day to marry Tuoba Hongye.
As for sincerity, you either don’t do it or you don’t do it. Since you do it, you have to do it fully, so that we can show our magnanimity as a great country in the Central Plains. "
Ye Bin very cooperatively stood up and bowed his hands in salute: "I obey the order. After the meeting is over, the Department of Reception will immediately prepare to draft a deed of royal title for Wang Zhaoxu and report it to the world. It will be sent to the royal court as soon as possible."
"No, no, no, no, that's not the case, Your Majesty..."
Wang Daofu had calculated everything, but he never expected that his own property and precious granddaughter would be included in his visit to the capital. How could he bear this?
Wang Daofu comes from a scholarly family, and his traditional thinking makes him arrogant. He always likes to stand on the moral high ground and criticize things that he does not approve of. Because of his reputation, his tribe has gained huge benefits, and he occupied many people during the previous dynasty. Good farmland.
At the same time, the idea of preferring boys over girls is deeply rooted, advocating that women without virtue are talented, but they do love their own granddaughter, Wang Zhaoxu, who is only seventeen years old.
Being in a large family, Wang Daofu knew that although he had many descendants, none of them had reached maturity. Only Wang Zhaoxu had been exceptionally smart since she was a child. Wang Daofu admired her very much and taught her everything he had learned without reservation. .
Among the many younger members of the tribe, Wang Zhaoxu was the one who took the most considerate care of Wang Daofu, and naturally won his favor as if he were his heart.
Nowadays, due to his own reasons, the family property is not guaranteed, and even his precious granddaughter may be given to foreigners for humiliation. When he thinks of his granddaughter's frail and delicate body being trampled by a group of barbarians surrounded by the smell of horse manure, Wang Daofu is happy. Definitely unacceptable.
"I beg your Majesty to take back the order. It is the common people who made rude remarks and made His Majesty Longyan furious. I hope your Majesty will forgive the common people's rude behavior. If Your Majesty wants to vent his anger, just kill the common people, but do not injure the families of the common people."
Finally, Wang Daofu put down his arrogance and knelt down in the main hall of Weiyang Palace regardless of everything, and begged Liu Ce.
Liu Ce sneered, raised his hand and said, "I don't want to kneel down, so please get up."
Wang Daofu didn't dare to get up, he still buried his head on the floor and refused to get up.
Liu Ce did not continue to persuade him and asked directly: "Wang Daofu, do you know why I want to go to war with the Mengluo people?"
Wang Daofu didn't dare to speak. Before, he would have scolded Liu Ce for being militaristic, but now he didn't have the guts to say it.
Liu Ce clasped his fingers and said: "During the Great Zhou Dynasty of the previous dynasty, among the Mengluo people, Bohe people, Hulan people, Qiang people, Burmese people, various tribes in the Western Regions, and the Ying bandits along the coast south of the Yangtze River, who did not bring humiliation to the people of the Central Plains? remember?
Are you willing to watch these great rivers and mountains, thousands of miles apart, fall to pieces under the iron hooves of the aliens?
Ask me, ask the six ministers of Weiyang Palace, each of them has a deep understanding of how barbaric the aliens are, and everyone knows how greedy they are!
Are you willing to continue to watch the head of my son of the Han family being hung on the grass like an animal for people to watch? Are you willing to see my Han daughter being bullied by barbarians and crying all day long?
I don’t care what you think, in short, I don’t want this scene to happen in this dynasty. If the barbarians dare to bully my country, then fight! The beatings made him feel scared, the beatings made him flee, and the beatings made him respect me as a god in the Central Plains!
And I did the same thing. I chopped off all the heads of millions of Hulan people in the Far East. I took back Liangzhou, which had been occupied by the Qiang people for decades.
I also defeated Annan and Myanmar in the southern border areas. I also captured the Western Region and extended the territory westward to the borders of Sassanid and Dashi.
What is my purpose in doing this? It is to let the Han people, no matter where they go, hold their heads high and tell the whole world that I am a subject of the heaven. Whoever dares to bully me will be crushed by the millions of Han cavalry generals who will crush you to ashes!
I want hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains to regain their self-confidence as descendants of Yan and Huang without bowing to anyone. As a Confucian scholar, can you understand this? "
Wang Daofu knelt on the ground tremblingly. He could no longer think of any rebuttal. Facing such a vigorous young emperor, he understood that his vision and knowledge could not control him at all. He even felt that his previous ideas were childish. ridiculous.
"I am tired and exhausted. I have seen too much for people like you who don't know the overall situation. You so-called Confucian scholars have disappointed me deeply.
You go back, I don’t want to waste words with you anymore, but from now on, Confucian scholars are no longer allowed to go near the temple. Such doctrines that are harmful to the country and the people will only make China sink and stagnate, so please retreat..."
