The imperial edicts of the Han Dynasty were equivalent to imperial edicts according to folk wisdom.
It’s the Holy One’s will!
Generally, there are categories such as policy, system, edict, precepts, edicts, etc., and precepts and edicts have some overlap.
For example, the Ming Dynasty's imperial edict "It is carried by heaven, the emperor's edict says", it belongs to the edict!
Write an edict.
Even big shots like Wei Qing and Li Guang did not dare to stay and immediately got up and went to the palace to see the emperor.
No!
As soon as they entered the palace, the two were "tortured" by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"General Wei, General Li, tell me, what happened today that caused such a commotion in the city?" Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, stood in front of the two of them, with a majestic and calm look on his face.
The two of them did not dare to look directly at the emperor, so neither of them spoke first.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that the two of them were silent, he immediately said angrily: "If you don't say yes, then you will all stand here today. I will prepare food for you. Let's see how long you can stand here."
then.
After some intimidation.
The old Li Guang spoke first and complained: "Your Majesty, in the fourteenth year of Emperor Wen's reign, I have been through fire and water for the Han Dynasty, and I have killed countless Xiongnu."
"Although there is no merit in becoming a lord, there is still some hard work, right?"
"yes!"
"What happened today has embarrassed your Majesty. But I really can't bear it. A little kid in his guard mansion dares to spread rumors and insult me!"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he turned his attention to Wei Qing.
First, I stared at him for a while.
When Wei Qing looked uncomfortable, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked: "Is what General Li said true?"
Wei Qing nodded honestly and replied: "It's true, but General Li didn't tell the whole story."
"The cause of this incident was that Mr. Li's grandsons, Li Ling and Li Yu, first mocked my general's office. My son Wei and his wife did not respond."
"As for the insult that Mr. Li said, it was actually a rebuttal made by Huo Guang, the champion brother-in-law, in order to protect the face of my general's palace."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his head slightly, glanced at Wei Qing, and then at Li Guang.
Some doubts.
Why is this matter related to the champion brother Huo Guang again?
When Li Guang heard what Wei Qing said, he immediately cursed: "Wei Qing, you are talking nonsense. My grandsons just laughed at your son, Mr. Wei, and got beaten. When did you have the words to insult your general?"
As soon as these words came out.
Wei Qing suddenly frowned and asked, "Oh, so General Li knows the ins and outs of the matter better than I do."
"Then why do you still mobilize troops and mobilize people to come here to question the crime when you know clearly that it was the younger generation of your family who caused the trouble?"
"It seems!"
"Old General Li came to my General's Mansion from the very beginning!"
Wei Qing is honest internally, but that doesn't mean he is a fool.
on the contrary!
He was smarter than anyone else, just more reserved.
"You..." General Li was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute, so he played the emotional card towards Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "Your Majesty, I am extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty!"
"Unfortunately, my luck was bad, and my military achievements were not enough to make me a marquis."
"Looking at the young people, one by one, walking ahead of the old ministers and being granted the title of Marquis, I felt unwilling to do so. I also thought that I had no hope of being granted the title of Marquis, and I was bullied to the head by a kid. I was really angry..."
Li Guang said it with tears streaming down his face.
His voice was so pitiful that even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't help crying.
He immediately comforted him and said: "Old General Li, you are serious. I know that you have made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, but it was just a matter of bad luck."
"Don't worry, there will be a chance soon."
"In the past two years, I have focused on rectifying the finances and preparing food for the decisive battle with the Huns next year. At that time, I will definitely let General Li be the vanguard to kill the Huns' spirit."
Hear this.
Li Guang's eyes suddenly lit up. After wiping his nose, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if we start a war with the Huns next year, I will definitely break the formation and kill the enemy for our Han Dynasty, and live up to your Majesty's favor!"
"I believe that the old general has this ability!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty paused and continued: "In this case, you go back and rest first. I still have something to say to General Wei."
Li Guang also knew what was going on, so he immediately raised his hands and said, "Old minister, please retire!"
The words fell.
He then withdrew, and only Wei Qing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was left in the palace.
To be honest, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really had a preference for generals. Among all dynasties, only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spared his generals after they were defeated and their entire army was wiped out.
Looking at Li Guang's leaving figure, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Wei Qing: "I'm talking about Wei Qing, just because two children are quarreling, is it necessary for the Wei family and the Li family to cause such a quarrel? How unbecoming!"
Wei Qing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I also want to put things to rest, but the old general doesn't want to."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head. He naturally knew Li Guang's temper, and immediately said: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about the grievances between the two houses."
"Come!"
"Play a game of chess with me."
During the Han Dynasty, there were three major games for people's entertainment, one was Cuju, the second was Go, and the third was Touhu.
Among them, Go had many names in ancient times.
Some say it's called Lan Ke, some say it's called Black and White, there's also Hand Talk, Si Yin and so on. In the Han Dynasty, it was more commonly called Yi.
Playing chess is a game of chess.
When Wei Qing heard the invitation from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he naturally did not dare to refuse, so he agreed and played a game with Emperor Wu.
After playing a dozen or so ordinary chess moves.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly sighed and said: "Wei Qing, did you hear what I just said to General Li?"
"I heard it."
Wei Qing didn't know what Emperor Wu of Han was going to say, so he could only nod in response.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slowly put down the chess piece, and then said: "Actually, regarding financial issues, I am a bit exaggerated. The current increase in the court's fiscal revenue is not enough to support launching a war against the Huns next year."
This means...not enough money and food?
Wei Qing frowned slightly, not understanding what the emperor meant when he told him this, but he still expressed his opinion and said: "If there is insufficient money and food, we can postpone it for a year and wait until the next year to gather the army to attack!"
Still waiting another year?
If I wait a year, why are I telling you this?
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard Wei Qing's words, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and then he said with a serious face: "I heard that there is a thing in Chang'an City called Qingfeng Xiangyin, which is actually a substitute for toilet paper. You Have you heard about it?"
Finished.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che stared at Wei Qing, thinking that he had already achieved this, this guy should have shown something, right?
However.
Wei Qing still looked like he didn't understand anything, and said, "Not only have I heard about this thing, but my wife at home is clamoring to buy some back in case guests come to visit me."
"However, when I inquired about it, I learned that the toilet paper was extremely expensive, so I lost interest in buying it."
"My wife wanted to buy it, but I scolded her, so she gave up the idea of buying paper."
Your wife wanted to buy it, but you scolded her?
Um?
Why do you say it, you seem quite proud? But am I here to hear this?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised his eyebrows and said displeasedly: "Wei Qing, don't pretend to be confused because you understand. What I want is the formula to increase fiscal revenue!"
