Chapter 175: Destroy and behead! [Please order and vote]
The sky is a little overcast, and light shines into the hall from the wooden window lattice.
Huo Qubing took the file and opened it to check.
"In such a matter, the other party will be careful to avoid leaving any clues. Is Xiu Yi Ling's grasp of evidence or evidence?"
"The method he used may be very secretive, but as long as it is passed back and forth, it will inevitably pass through human hands and will always leave traces. My men under Xiu Yi have been exploring the secrets of all parties for many years. Unless there is no target, how can they not find clues."
Ru Bohu put down the tea cup in his hand, with a sinister look on his long and narrow face:
"Princess Longli hates you, maybe the reason is very simple.
But Longlihou... that’s not necessarily the case.”
What he showed to Huo Qubing was evidence that Longluhou and his wife were acting secretly.
"What they did wrong was not targeting you, but that they shouldn't have done this when you were leading the troops to go to war.
Huo Qubing had some time to rest and said: "If there is no problem with them, we can't catch them even if we want to.
"Winter time!" Huo Qubing said calmly.
If we are defeated, our Han border will be endangered, and Your Majesty will never tolerate this kind of thing."
The methods he used in prison management were severe and harsh. He also assisted the emperor in unifying the currency, implemented the salt and iron official system, calculated and sued the miners, attacked wealthy merchants, and punished the powerful and annexed families.
When she came out of the palace, she heard a voice from outside the carriage: "It's Mr. Wei inside the carriage."
Wei Shaoer was surprised.
"The news sent from Xiguan said that the Qiang people are gathering tribes in large numbers and gathering heavy troops to defeat our Han army.
Princess Longlu scolded: "If you dare to leave, I will have someone slap your mouth in pieces..."
There is also a slumped-looking Yushi fan.
During the reign of the late Emperor, Princess Guantao once had great influence among her relatives, and the Longli branch she left behind has attracted my attention since then."
That night before Huo Qubing left for the expedition, he sent word to the military camp, and then three thousand elite soldiers left the camp.
Princess Longlu looked at Young Master Wei and thought it was a coincidence that we happened to meet him. She sneered: "When you met me in the past, you had to kneel down to speak. But in the past few years, your status has changed, and you actually met me on an equal footing."
"I have read the battle report sent back from Xiguan, and there is nothing wrong with Yao Zhao's strategy.
"So you have dug out a lot of things behind Longlihou Chen Xiu's secrets... No wonder he was able to spread the news in time."
Huo Qubing didn't explain much.
The ministers looked at each other and could hardly help but voice their objections.
This ruthless official with a "remarkable reputation" throughout history was indeed a ruthless person.
After the discussion in the study room, he left the palace and went to the school grounds on the outskirts of the city.
Young Master Wei was afraid of his previous masters, Princess Pingyang and even Princess Longlu, who had accumulated power over the years.
Ru Bohu: "As long as the bloodline of the clan is more or less protected by the national destiny of my great Han Dynasty, it should be difficult to penetrate and influence and control them. But if the people around them want to take action, there will be too many opportunities and they will be difficult to guard against."
The position of censor vacated by Li Cai after he became prime minister was taken over by Zhang Tang, a Legalist tycoon who was so famous in later generations that he could even test mice.
"You are summoned today to discuss the use of troops on the northeastern border."
Huo Qubing agreed and walked with him to the emperor's study.
But it is very difficult to implement. The reason is that the current territory of the Han Dynasty continues to the north, the area is open, and it is all flat grassland. If you want to maintain such a terrain, it will be a huge burden on the national strength.
Huo Qubing pondered deeply and suddenly said: "Has the Xiu Yi Order secretly paid attention to Princess Pingyang?"
She is soft-tempered and has no independent opinions. She doesn't dare to confront Princess Longli, but with so many people behind her supporting her, she is not that timid if you ask her to surrender and kneel down.
Liu Che went straight to the topic and glanced at the ministers with a very oppressive gaze:
"General Wei and Lang Zhongling both proposed to expand the border, include Wuhuan, Fuyu and other places into the borders of our Han Dynasty, and push the national border northward to form a new peripheral depth."
Huo Qubing was planning to visit the military camp on the outskirts of the city.
"Do you still remember that when we first looked for that secret force, we felt that the other party might have penetrated very deeply into Chang'an, and everything was questionable."
There is a saying that under the command of Emperor Liu Che, he was composed of smooth civil servants and iron-clad generals.
"Can the Champion Marquis tell you the reason for using troops in winter? It should be noted that winter is not good for marching. There is no precedent for marching north in winter in ancient times." Zhou Ping said.
Wei Shao'er opened the curtain and saw another chariot passing by on the palace road.
Dong Zhongshu entered the palace and deliberately went around to invite Huo Qubing to come with him. Apparently he had something to say.
Ru Bohu stood up and said: "You want to pacify Wuhuan. I have sorted out the relevant information, including the distribution of Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu, Sushen and other eastern grassland tribes, as well as information about the leaders of various tribes and important figures. I will tell you later
Let Song Ran give it to you."
Huo Qubing hummed.
Princess Pingyang... Ru Bohu chuckled: "You mean the princess's husband, Ruyinhou Xiahoupo?
No problem has been found with him so far.
However, now that the military equipment of the Han Dynasty is at its peak, it is imperative to expand the country's borders.
This is Master Dong’s further statement on the integration of civil and military affairs.
Little did they know that Huo Qubing and Ru Bohu had set up their nets early, and all the embroiderers were on the move, waiting to catch the thief.
The one whose face is revealed in the carriage opposite is Princess Longli.
After he comes to power, all the clans in the Western Han Dynasty will suffer a great disaster, and more than half of them will be overthrown and the equalization of property will be overthrown.
During Liu Che's more than fifty years as emperor, there were more than ten changes in the prime minister alone, not to mention other civil servants. It was rare for them to stay in the same position for three or four years.
The position of censor of the Western Han Dynasty will be in his hands and will be pushed to the extreme. Anyone who violates the law will be beheaded.
There are still hidden goods... Huo Qubing stretched out his hand to take it.
Ru Bohu said: "And some people related to the clan are closest to the core of my Han Dynasty and are the easiest to be targeted.
She hurriedly got out of the car and saluted Princess Longli: "I have met Her Royal Highness."
Ru Bohu glanced at Huo Qubing: "But the two of us set up a trap to expose them. The other party is a clan member after all. Are you sure you want to do this?"
There are only a few generals who never change. Occasionally, some of them can get better.
Just now, the emperor issued an edict to remove Fan from his position as censor, and Li Cai took over.
Wei Shao'er has found some pride in being a mother-in-law, and has been feeling happy for days.
He has already discussed the strategy of sending troops with the emperor and his uncle. The results will be more convincing than any argument.
After Ru Bohu left, it was already afternoon.
Not only do some generals use their troops in harsh environments in winter, but also in spring and summer. Once they enter areas such as grasslands and deserts that lack reference points, they do not need to attack the enemy, but they will get lost.
Moreover, the Huns also intend to help the Qiang, Di and other tribes to disrupt our Western Front. Does Huo Hou have any plans for Xiguan?" Zhou Ping looked at Huo Qubing eagerly.
Wei Shao'er was in a good mood during this period. His son returned safely from the war. After his bride Liu Qing came over, she walked around more with her and often had things sent to her.
"Now that you've thought about it, take a look at this."
If there is someone to recommend to the Marquis of Huo, he can come to our Imperial College to teach, teach military science, and select military strategists and generals for my great Han Dynasty."
It was Li Jing who, under the harsh conditions of the cold winter, was able to penetrate the grasslands with thousands of soldiers and defeat the once powerful Eastern Turks.
Judging from the battle losses between the enemy and ourselves, there will be no problem for the Han army on the western front to suppress the Xiqiang." Huo Qubing briefly expressed his opinion.
"Your Highness the Princess."
However, after looking at Li Cai, Dong Zhongshu, and the old Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, all three of them were sitting firmly, and the others suppressed their doubts.
But have you forgotten your origin?"
Things like fighting depend on talent.
At this moment, Princess Longlu had a feeling and heard the emperor's deep voice from across the air: "Longlu, come to me!"
Sure enough, I caught one accurately.
Moving the country's borders northward and expanding the Han territory was what many emperors longed for.
Legalism will also rise to prominence because of him.
"Princess, if nothing happens, I'll go." She turned around and prepared to leave.
The deposed person still has some abilities, but he is better at governing the local area.
Huo Qubing smiled and the two of them came to the emperor's study and saw Gongsun Hong, Li Cai, Taichang Zhou Ping and others there.
However, the western front was closer to Chang'an. Yao Zhao led his troops to fight for many days, but only achieved two victories and failed to completely defeat the gathered tribes of the Western Qiang.
Therefore, the other party became more courageous because there were many people who knew about it and the scope was too wide, so they did not have to worry about subsequent investigations.
The embroidered clothes commander was sure that Huo Qubing wanted to bring down the Longli family, so he took out another file.
"When will the Champion prepare to launch his troops?"
When Zhang Tang was in the position of censor, his authority even surpassed that of Prime Minister Li Cai, which shows his ability.
After a series of battles, most of the officials in the court increasingly recognized Huo Qubing's ability to command troops.
Just as she opened the car curtain, a graceful and bright face, nearly forty years old, appeared from the car, looking at Wei Shao'er with a somewhat sarcastic look.
In the afternoon of that day, she took a carriage into Weiyang Palace to visit her sister Wei Zifu.
Li Jing, a later Tang general, once led his army to attack the Eastern Turks in the cold winter.
My sister is a queen, my brother is a general, my son is a lieutenant, and my son's wife is also a princess. I will not kneel to you... Wei Shaoer secretly muttered in his heart.
At that time, he was valued by the emperor because he submitted a letter to divert water from the Yellow River for irrigation and increase production.
Since there are problems, you can't blame us, just do things that are convenient and sincere. Isn't the King of Huainan also a clan relative?"
She was going to Changle Palace, and Wei Shao'er was coming out of Wuyang Palace. The two cars happened to meet on the royal road between the two palaces.
Now that he has stepped down from the position of censor, he will still return to his hometown to work in his old profession and become a prefect.
"I am currently in charge of the Imperial College, and have already advised Your Majesty to include military science in the Six Classics of the Imperial College.
It is impossible for the secret forces to influence and control everyone."
………
Historically, after Li Cai took over as censor, he officially took over Xiangyin from Gongsun Hong only a little over ten months later.
The grasslands are cold in winter, and marching is not only expensive, but even soldiers and horses may freeze to death if they are not careful, and they will collapse without fighting.
Thinking of his son, younger brothers and sisters, Wei Shaoer emboldened himself and straightened his back:
At this time, Dong Zhongshu came in from the outside under the leadership of the imperial army: "Your Majesty summoned me to come to see you, and you must have someone come to inform Huo Hou. Shall we go together?"
Huo Qubing walked into the study and glanced at Fan Xi and Zhang Tang, who was serving as Tingwei at the moment and sitting under Fan Xi with a face as cold as ice.
This is common sense, but not absolute.
A quarter of an hour later, when Princess Longlu walked into the emperor's study, her expression remained as usual.
But the moment she entered the study and saw the emperor sweeping over him with an unprecedented cold gaze, she felt something was wrong and her heart sank slightly.
"I have ordered that Long and Luhou be cut off and the country be enfeoffed. Chen Xiu will be punished for leaking information about the march and collaborating with the enemy. According to the law, he will be beheaded!"
The color on Princess Longlu's face instantly faded: "Are you going to kill me for an outsider?"
