Many times, quarrels in temples are just like children's grudges, and there is rarely an overnight feud.
Chang Shou Qingteng and Grand Master Zhu Chuo never get along with each other on weekdays. They often exchange bad words at each other in the court. Even if they have the same opinions, they will find a reason to quarrel. This has become a big problem in the court in Gyeonggi Province. normal.
However, both of them were good-natured people, and they often disagreed with each other. Liu Yan, out of cherishing talents and maintaining his reputation as a talent lover, chose to live with the many outrageous actions of the two.
Since even Liu Yan had to muddle along, the other courtiers could not say anything, and the quarrel between the two was regarded as just a sideshow in the temple.
After the two men returned to their cases, Guang Luxun and Yin Xian walked out of the generals' table and bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty, Han Fei, a famous minister of the Warring States Period, once said, 'When a country is small, it is not humble; when it is small, it is not afraid of the strong; when it is rude, it is... Those who insult their neighbors, are greedy and clumsy in friendship will perish."
Yin Xian is an extremely smart person. He does not directly express his thoughts, but instead refers to the past to express the present.
What a coincidence, Liu Yan is also a very smart and knowledgeable person, and he really listened to Yin Xian's implication. He saw Liu Yan sitting down again, holding his chin with one hand, supporting his elbow with the other, and his eyes were shining. Yicai said slowly, "My beloved, you are knowledgeable about the past and present. If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
Yin Xian nodded and said seriously, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, civil servants have been admonished and military generals have fought to the death, and the humble ministers are not exempt from the custom. Although the ministers are responsible for the security affairs in the palace, they do know a little bit about the military affairs on the border. "
The ministers saw Yin Xian pacing in the palace with his hands behind his hands, looking full of confidence, "Judging from the battle between Qin and Han fifty years ago, Goguryeo has been spying on Bozhou for a long time, and is linked to the Qin Dynasty's intention to plot our northern territory. It has been a long time ago. Nowadays, the national power of Goguryeo has been restored, and the people are booming. In addition, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Zhao, is an ambitious young king. If the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty go to war in the future, this country will be regarded as the lackey of the Qin Dynasty. Defend."
As soon as these words came out, two voices came from all directions in the palace, one secretly cheering, and the other cursing and glaring at Yin Xian.
Yin Xian ignored the looks of others. He suddenly stopped and faced the emperor in his prime on the dragon throne. He lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "I have often heard that in a country with ten thousand chariots, it is better to destroy the enemy in the bud. It is better to find him now." This is an excuse to eradicate the root of the problem and eliminate the major future troubles in the east forever. Moreover, with the strength of our country, this battle will be won!"
When Yin Xian said this, Liu Yan's expression changed slightly.
The Goguryeo Kingdom was sandwiched between the Qin and Han Dynasties and had been vacillating for so many years. Liu Yan had long wanted to teach it a lesson. Therefore, in Liu Yan's heart, he hoped to use this battle to determine the country's prestige.
However, there was an unnoticed worry hidden in his heart.
What are the chances of winning this battle?
You must know that although the Han Dynasty has millions of troops, facing a territory of tens of millions of miles, these millions of troops are like a plate of loose sand, scattered in the frontier strategic points.
In the empire, the frontier army in the west needs to be vigilant about the Western Regions, the frontier army in the south needs to guard against the Pyu Yue Kingdom, the frontier army in the north needs to resist the Qin army who is plowing the grass in the valley, and the armed forces within the empire need to suppress the noble families who are ready to move. It seems that Go, the empire has very few usable soldiers left!
And this eloquent Guang Luxun now spoke to his heart.
So, Liu Yan's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh? What good plan does Aiqing have, so sure of victory?"
Guang Luxun Yin Xian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am not good at military affairs, so I dare not talk about the battlefield. However, just speaking of the general situation, among the five armies in the east, there are Sun Hui who is both wise and brave, and Mou who is mature and prudent. Yu, Mo Jingchun, who has a hole like thunder, thought, with these three people here, it does not take much effort to destroy the small Goguryeo kingdom. If this battle can quickly conquer the fortified city, the soldiers and the army will be dead. , destroying their country will definitely bring out the majesty of our heavenly family. At that time, if we publicize it more vigorously, the uncivilized Japanese country on the sea and the wavering attitude of the Western Region will definitely be greatly changed."
Liu Yan gave a muffled hum, and his expression turned as calm as water. He seemed not satisfied with the answer, and immediately asked, "What else?"
These three words made Guang Luxun and Yin Xian stunned on the spot. He did not
Thinking about it, even though I made extremely careful preparations, I still didn't get the emperor's complete satisfaction in the end.
However, a person who can be ranked among the Twelve Ministers is not an ordinary person. Yin Xian quickly reacted. He was worried that he had offended the emperor by saying something that did not cater to the Sacred Heart, so he immediately handed over to the emperor and said, "I will do my best to serve as a minister." , To speak frankly, however, life and death are all in the hands of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to drive you, I will not hesitate to die."
Showing commitment and expressing sincerity are very effective in any dynasty or emperor.
After hearing this, Liu Yan waved his hand and smiled.
Yin Xian finally felt at ease.
"Since Guang Luxun talked about the way of a minister, then Wei Chen has to say a few words!"
Taichang Huangfu Zhixing, who had always looked down on Yin Xian's greed for money, walked out from among the civil servants. He turned his back to Yin Xian, raised his hands to Liu Yan and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection to attacking Goguryeo. You can attack Goguryeo." This matter requires multiple investigations before we can make a decision. After all, this matter affects the whole world. If Goguryeo really forms an alliance with Great Qin, then the repair of the old capital and the proficiency of military training may also be secretly instructed by Great Qin. , if we attack rashly and encounter difficulties on the road, and Goguryeo asks for help from the Qin Dynasty, and the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Qin Dynasty takes the water route to fight with our eastern border troops, it will be another protracted and fierce battle! Your Majesty, at this time, the internal worries have not been eliminated, If you go to provoke foreign troubles, you will easily lose power and territory!"
"My lord, I second the proposal!"
Sitian Zhonglang General Mo Qin, who usually had a close relationship with Huangfu Zhixing, walked out of the group of generals and bowed his head.
Liu Yan looked at Mo Qin with interest, "Oh? Mo Zhonglang was the first military minister to agree to postpone this matter. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the generals of the dynasty?"
Mo Qin lowered his head again and said generously, "Be loyal to state affairs, no matter what else!"
As soon as these words came out, except for the princelings and a group of military generals, all the civil servants in the room praised it, and there were endless voices of support.
In terms of strategy and tactics, Liu Yan despised Goguryeo from the bottom of his heart. Last year, Mo Jingchun destroyed Gao Zhao's newly built city with just one army. This shows that the national power and strength of Goguryeo and the Han Dynasty are fundamentally different. Not on the same level!
A small country whose territory was not even as large as Bozhou and Liao was not even worthy of carrying shoes for itself, let alone usurping the territory of the Han Dynasty. In Liu Yan's view, Goguryeo King Gao Zhao was just a clown.
Not worth mentioning at all!
But despising the Kingdom of Goguryeo does not mean that Liu Yan must send troops to attack the Kingdom of Goguryeo. The words of Taichang Huangfu Chixing made Liu Yan wake up instantly.
It turns out that in Liu Yan's mind, solving the family's problems and further consolidating national power are the top priorities.
If one day he could compete with Fu Yi in Northern Xinjiang, Liu Yan would not want to follow in the footsteps of his father. The battle on the front line was fierce, and a group of rebels in his hometown raised the banner and pulled the tiger's skin, started their own rebellion, and suffered a lot. .
While the ministers were quarreling, Liu Yan already had a plan in mind.
If we fight this war, it will easily cause trouble. If we don't fight, we can maintain the status quo for more than ten years.
Therefore, although Liu Yan has the desire to fight, his reason makes him understand that this battle cannot be fought!
Just when Liu Yan was about to speak to set the tone for this moment, outside Weiyang Palace and outside Chang'an City, the roar of exploding sword energy came.
Liu Yan frowned slightly, and all the ministers looked sideways.
The manic sword energy distorted the air above the entire Chang'an City, and in just three breaths, clear and loud sounds came from all directions.
"Luo Hongyi of the Xiao Xin Sword Sect, under the orders of Fu Yi, the common leader of the world, is here to defeat all the swordsmen in the world!"
The whistling sword energy from the north blew up gusts of wind, rolling up a white stream in the middle of the day, attracting the people in Chang'an City to stop and watch.
From the princes and nobles to the common people, everyone in Chang'an City knew that the annual Qin-Han War was about to take place.
In the 328th year of the Han calendar, after Fu Yi of the Great Qin Dynasty succeeded to the throne of the First Wolf, he would select a master of martial arts every year to go to Chang'an City to perform some tricks to show his national prestige. In response, Liu Yan naturally issued an edict to invite some masters from the Han Dynasty to go to Tianlang City to repay the gift.
Except for Mo, who begged for death three years ago to defend Taoism,
In the seventeen years since Fu Yi ascended the throne, not one of the masters of gift-returning on both sides died.
For Huangtu Hegemony, although such actions seemed like child's play, through this form, Fu Yi told the world that even if Chang'an is thousands of miles away, we, Da Qin, can advance and retreat at the palm of our hands.
And Liu Yan also told the people of Zhongzhou again and again that the Han Empire was by no means a lamb to be slaughtered. You can come, and I can go.
So far, it has become an established rule for Da Qin and Han to return gifts to each other. However, perhaps because Fu Yi did not find a suitable candidate, this year's gift came later!
It turned out that Luo Hongyi, who was in the realm of imperial arts at that time, was very upset and depressed after losing to Mo Jiazi Hanli. In a fit of anger, he actually fell. After falling, what made him even more frustrated was that Luo Hongyi actually In one breath, he fell directly from the Heavenly Movement Realm to the Object Realm three times in a row.
For a time, he became the laughingstock of the world.
After all the ups and downs, there was a great realization. After this, Luo Hongyi felt greatly relieved. He no longer blindly pursued sword styles and realms. Instead, he resigned and went to the Beiming land in the north of Da Qin to hone his sword heart and courage.
In fact, Luo Hong should have received Fu Yi's edict early in the morning, but before Fu Yi summoned him to join the Han Dynasty, Luo Hong was in Beiming. The sea in Beiming was so big. After nearly two months of searching, Luo Hongyi was found on an iceberg.
At this time, Luo Hongyi had fully realized his sword intention and had once again climbed to the pinnacle of the human world. His vision and hands were all filled with sword energy. If Fu Xi hadn't unexpectedly visited him, Luo Hong would have wandered into the sea of solitude again and again. After a while, I'm afraid there will be one more Tongxuan Sword God in the world!
Today, Luo Hong's sword attack on Chang'an City will definitely cause huge waves.
