It was already a little chilly in Chang'an at the end of September, and there was a gentle breeze outside the window.
The emperor sits on the central throne facing north and south, and the first two rows below are the civil and military ministers.
The chief military officer was Wei Qing, followed by Huo Qubing, Li Guang and Cheng Bushi.
The civil servants Gongsun Hong and Li Cai were members of the censor clan and Taichang Zhouping.
Under the civil and military ranks is the head of each clan.
They were no strangers to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty. Li Guang and other prominent civil and military officials came from these clans.
"I invite all the noble families and clans to gather together in Chang'an. In addition to watching the completion of the Military Mansion, there are other things to talk about."
The emperor made the opening remarks and immediately turned to the topic: "I announced the Martial Arts Lord last month. What do you think?"
Coming...the heads of each clan thought to themselves.
Li Zhaoxian, the head of the Li family, who was born in Li Guang, expressed his position: "After discussion, our clans are willing to support the martial arts order and send the children in the family to serve as officials."
The champion is also the general in the main battle, so he has to convince me first so as not to increase the possibility of war. "
"Master, I'm very confident. Can you convince the champion to let me follow your wishes?"
But if the enemy can be defeated at once, the consumption will be reduced to the maximum, and the subsequent harvest, land, and population will be converted into profits.
There was only Master Dong, who was still wearing the official robes of the later doctor, and there was no one. The little girl stood aside, looking at several people with squinting eyes.
Huo Qubing shook his head and said: "It's because they deliberately let me have the upper hand. My troops are unstoppable in the military mansion. They are retreating step by step. You didn't expect it.
Bai Yu walked beside the carriage and did not board the carriage. There were several other chariots in front of them, all belonging to the heads of various clans.
But it is a small impact on the purity of our clans and the relatively closed clan interior.
When we came to Chang'an that time, we had not yet vaguely anticipated the situation. It was considered the best option, and the emperor still left some room for it.
There were eight people sitting outside the carriage, not too crowded, just next to each other.
The princess has been busy decorating the house these days. When the two met, the young princess invited Wei Qing to give some advice to the mansion. "
"You came here to ask Master, do you know that Your Majesty, in response to the advice of the champion, has the idea of expanding the territory?"
When several people left in the car, they saw Yan Qingzhen also walking out in front of us, separated from Liu Che at the palace gate, and got out of a chariot next to them.
Huo Hou secretly complained, and it was me who was responsible for speaking. This was agreed upon in advance.
Huo Qubing spoke eloquently: "There are no secrets in the Military Mansion. Ask Wei Qing, he wants to use the Military Mansion as the foundation to develop military affairs, spread military knowledge, and educate the people."
It took a long time for the soldiers to retreat and report, but no concierge came out to take a few people away.
Just now outside the study room, there was a confrontation between the imperial power and our clans.
Several family heads sat and watched the verbal exchange between the two, thinking in their minds that Dong Zhongshu's words were obviously very uncertain.
As the heads of several clans were thinking, Huo Hou, the leader of the Li clan, was about to speak.
Thoughts rising and falling, several family heads subconsciously glanced at the two figures at the head of the generals' row.
Several family heads exchanged glances slowly.
"Master, I am not very sure, can you convince Wei Qing?" several family heads asked at the same time.
Through that kind of internal marriage relationship, the emperor would weaken the small families of the aristocratic families. He was also weakening some possible hidden dangers and taking a step back to centralize power.
Several family heads said: "When you were waiting to leave the palace, you saw the champion getting off the car at the princess palace. I am afraid that he is at home, and the master may know his whereabouts."
"Master, are you going out?"
Huo Hou shuddered slightly, ringing early in the morning and then later in the evening. But when I was about to speak, his voice suddenly rose, obviously without any warning.
At the courtyard gate, Huo Qubing was with Bai Yu, asking to go in and out.
The emperor has taken out the list, and is willing to exchange relatives for relatives. It is fair, and it is possible to agree in person.
Huo Hou said with a "pleased" look on his face: "You must comply with His Majesty's wishes."
"Go find the champion," Huo Qubing replied.
"That is the list that I had people draw up. All the children of each family who are of suitable age and suitable for marriage are on it. I have selected the suitable children of the clan to marry the children of your family.
Li Zhao is ambitious and decisive. There are indeed many people who can influence me.
However, before Yan Qing finished speaking, Dong Xu, the chamberlain in front of the emperor, took a step back and placed several scrolls of bamboo slips behind the heads of the clans.
But at this moment, a sound like dragons roaring and tigers roaring suddenly came out of his body, which sounded like the sound of soldiers clashing.
There are no disadvantages in terms of abundant products, a reserve of population and talents, and a weak country and a prosperous people.
The Han Dynasty seems weak, but in a real fight and conquering cities and territories, who can guarantee victory?
Riding behind the carriage, the group slowly arrived at the courtyard outside the home of Yan Qingzhen's disciple Bai Yu.
Yan Qingzhen said: "This is going to be wrong. You have no two conditions. If Yan Qing agrees, you will tell the secret of the military mansion and we can discuss other matters. Otherwise, the military mansion will be his and he will not be able to use it."
Master Dong hummed.
At that time, I tried to stop him, but he stopped me. "
That retreat to the mansion was indeed a bad place.
A few people discussed secretly in the car for a while, and then slowly arrived to the north of Weiyang Palace.
Huo Qubing's status ranks first among Confucians in the world.
When a group of people got out of the car, they saw a mansion in front of them, which was both majestic and ingenious.
Yan Qingzhen said solemnly: "After what happened today, you should know how powerful the champion is. He can definitely be respected for his age but not take it seriously."
The key is to be able to earn the smallest fruits of failure with maximum consumption. Being able to do that is crucial.
There was no need for the emperor to try to shirk the situation in person, so it was very straightforward.
It is indeed of great benefit to the clan and the Han people, but not necessarily to the clan.
But go deep and taste it.
Several people got off Li's narrow carriage again.
Huo Qubing nodded slightly.
At this moment, I went to look for Yan Qingzhen, just like a carbine, planning to use my front hand to counterattack.
There is no lake in the house, and the corridor passes under the lake. Only by walking through it can you reach the main hall at the other end.
"Your Majesty later gave the Jade Garden to Wei Qing, but I didn't want it, so Your Majesty gave it to the princess instead.
Huo Hou glanced at Master Dong.
The meaning is very clear, pay for it happily.
Several people looked at this in awe, as every move they made was under the emperor's surveillance.
"That is……"
This morning, Huo Qubing saw that the situation had changed and it was possible to recover. So I took advantage of the situation and gave up my fight with Master Dong for control of the military palace. However, I had been planning for a long time and secretly hid my advantage. Obviously, I didn't have the first move, and I was ready to use it to restrain Master Dong.
We will agree wholeheartedly, but we will also agree sincerely.
The emperor has no plan, and we naturally have no means of dealing with it.
At the same time, he was also curious as to whether Huo Qubing had any means to defeat Master Dong?
Master Dong was taught by the emperor when he was young, and spent half of his time growing up with the emperor.
You know your concerns, thinking that the cost of fighting will be heavy.
A group of clan leaders came out of the emperor's study, with intense expressions on their faces but excitement in their hearts.
Once a war breaks out, all your troops must devote all their efforts to the war effort. Frequent wars are by no means a bad thing for the country! "
If the emperor refuses, Master Dong will definitely release Bing Feng in the emperor's study.
The situation in the homes of the clan leaders behind them was due to secret investigation, not to the newly established Embroidered Clothes Envoy.
When the family heads unfolded the bamboo slips and took a look, their hearts dropped.
If you spend money on raising the army and open up new borders, I will allow them to send people to the new lands first to make a profit. "
But it is written under this list, and he knows the relationship between the children and heirs in our family very well.
But at that moment, the sound of dragons roaring and tigers roaring started again.
Even the heirs in the back room who were raised secretly by the family master knew exactly who they were and how young they were. There was one mistake.
That is an obvious overstatement, and we cannot agree with it at all.
No one felt the same way.
The wedding is coming soon, and the house is getting ready for that. There is no place covered in red and colorful decorations, and it is full of joy.
If there is no countermeasure, we will accept it first. This is the way those clans deal with the clan.
Princess's frame.
If marriages were made according to the records on that list, it is hard to imagine how those clans would be infiltrated by the clan. That was far beyond what we would later guess.
In that case, the clan's response is to delay, and we will have more internal marriages, which will increase the impact of the clan on us.
Other companies also expressed their opinions.
Huo Qubing got straight to the point: "Wei Qing, do you know why you came here?"
With the knowledge of the leader of the clans, he was also impressed by the mansion.
Confidence was inexplicably lowered a little, and it seemed that the two men could not... After all, the Huns were weak and were defeated even by Liu Che and Dong Fuzi.
They looked at it and saw that there was nothing wrong with the list. "
"Could it be?"
The results are clear.
At that moment, Master Dong's eyebrows glowed slightly, and the tiger roared suddenly.
It was getting late at this time, but the lights in the temple were brightly lit.
There has been no chaos in the country since, and there has been no turmoil in Huainan before, so the emperor is determined to sort out the clans, clans, and even the feudal princes in the clan.
Yan Qing took a breath and then said: "If your clan does not have a senior male or female of the right age, it will be a honor to be able to marry into the clan, and you will get what you ask for."
The clan and clans like them want to increase marriages. At first it sounds like it is a good thing to form a marriage relationship with the clan.
The relationship between the clan and their clans has further deepened, and indirectly through us, we have deepened our control over all walks of life and counties in the sky.
Especially before the military palace was opened and Master Dong's performance was witnessed by everyone, the emperor's words were unconvincing.
This time, the heads of several clans felt their hearts sinking.
Have you ever heard that there is no saying that being proud of one's soldiers will defeat one's ambitions? "
Master Dong, as Lang Zhongling, was in charge of the 100,000 elite Forbidden Army. He had no personal soldiers of his own, so there was no Forbidden Army guarding the gate, which was not an overstep of the limit.
But if Master Dong is among them.
Huo Hou's eyes were slightly bright: "Did Master deliberately do this in the battle over the military palace to allow the champion to have a slight disadvantage? Why didn't you take the next step to control me?"
Across the lake is the guest-receiving side hall of the inner hall.
The voice was high-pitched, but as soon as it sounded, the room was filled with awe.
Huo Qubing said firmly: "When it comes to military affairs, both Champion and General Wei are famous generals, but when it comes to their influence on Your Majesty and your Majesty's trust in his ministers, Wei Qing is the seventh man.
However, at that moment, a strong, but heart-rending voice suddenly surged from the study room.
The group of people came to the gate and saw that there was no imperial guard on duty, so they thought that it was indeed there.
Master Dong's face was serious, but he said with a serious smile: "But Master thinks that you have won the military palace, and you want to give me some advice?"
There are palace lanterns on both sides of the corridor, which twists and turns. If you walk under it, you will find that the scenery inside the house is extremely bad. Outside the inner lake on the corridor, there were only a few fish swimming around stupidly.
Huo Qubing said: "It's so bad. When you went to find me that time, you weren't 810% sure at least."
Huo Hou smiled bitterly and said: "I have robbed you and other clan inheritance items, how dare you not pay attention to them."
Apparently, that was what the emperor meant.
But the idea is long-term enough. If you are caught in a long-term battle, the battle situation is anxious, and you are deeply involved, the frontline will continue to output, and the consumption is indeed very small.
Huo Qubing stroked his beard out of habit: "Do you think that this morning the champion got the chancellor of the Bingfu, and that I have taken all the disadvantages?
The relationship between the two of them is the same as that of other people.
Yan Qingzhen spread his hands hurriedly: "The secret of the military mansion that Master mentioned is hidden behind the slip of Ya Sheng Wu Qi. There is no secret in the world of military mansion opened by the military strategist's sacrifice. It is hidden on the surface. The change."
Several people saw the ceremony and took their seats.
Yan Qing squinted his eyes as he looked at the clans, his eyes filled with authority.
There was no change in Liu Che's mood on his face, and he continued: "I plan to increase the number of marriages between clan members and your clan."
Several people retreated into the palace, but Liu Qing was in the inner chamber and did not show up.
Huo Qubing said: "The seven of us must be suspicious here."
Huo Qubing was stunned.
"Where are you going, Master?"
Huo Qubing sighed: "You are doing this and that. It is true that the champion Hou Bingfeng is in his prime, but fighting on the battlefield is a matter of national affairs, life and death, so there is no room for error.
"You go to Dong Zhongshu to discuss it. If the emperor wants to raise troops, the civil servants must be the first to give their approval."
The sky turned white.
Huo Qubing responded as expected: "Exactly, Wei Qing thinks that becoming the chief priest of the Bingfu means he has control of the Bingfu?"
Princess Pingxian has been waiting for Mrs. Dong in the palace, so what are the two of them going to do at such a late hour... the clanless people wondered.
If the military is really small and the proportion of consumption of bad wars can be controlled, it will occupy less land and support less people, which will only increase the depth of the military and reduce its effectiveness.
Huo Hou said: "Based on your observation, the champion is probably easily persuaded by others."
"Is this master going to see the champion to persuade me to restrain my troops?"
Ps: I’m asking for votes at the beginning of the month. There was no update plan for last month, so if you’re interested, I can’t take it in. Thank you for your support.
Ten miles north of Chang'an, this military palace has undergone new changes!
"We have nothing to do but seek advice from the master." Huo Hou, Li Zhong, and Wang Qian, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, both said.
The leader of the Li family turned around and saw the sound coming from Master Dong's position.
"Let's go together, Luxia said." Yan Qingzhen said.
That's what a few people thought bad things about afterwards.
Not so few... The heads of several clans were refreshed and felt that things had turned around.
The champion was sitting in front of the palace, talking and moving, his eyes narrowed, as if he was asleep.
He threatens you as soon as you speak, no matter what.
Everyone knows the truth about fighting, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, so you have to be careful.
Emperor Yan Qing's mind was drawn, and he finished drawing the stick and wanted to give it to Tianzao: "They are well-informed, and they should know the proposal of the champion, you, little man, want to expand the country's borders.
It was Dong Zhongshu's fault that it should have been so difficult for him to be taken advantage of by the champion and unable to fight back.
Everyone understood.
The sky turned white.
"Of course it is. If you really want to sacrifice this young man in this military mansion, why do you waste so much effort on promoting this matter?"
The emperor's methods are interlocking and pressing step by step.
If the clan can continue to pass on, there will be no way to survive.
The incident in the military palace has not been continued yet, but the champion seems to have discovered it... several family heads thought.
