Chapter 45 The world is horrified! The enemy can go, and I can go too

When the scene changed, it was Liu Che's conferment ceremony in front of hundreds of civil and military officials!

The eunuch is announcing:

"I was ordered to bear the Heaven, the Great Emperor's edict."

"Crown Prince Liu Che has reached adulthood. From now on, I am determined to order him to supervise state affairs."

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was already old at this time. He looked at Liu Che seriously and said: "Liu Che, you are an adult."

"You want to hold up this big man's world!"

…

And as soon as the camera passed, it was the scene of the Huns sending envoys to our Han Dynasty!

Unlike other dynasty envoys who were respectful when they came to the Central Plains, the Huns were arrogant!

Looking at people with your chin does not make you look good at all.

Even when you see the emperor, you are not allowed to kneel down!

And he also plausibly said: "The Xiongnu were established by heaven and placed by the sun and moon."

"Under the whole world, the Supreme Being is supreme."

"Messenger of the Great Chanyu, we do not have the habit of kneeling to other emperors."

…

At this point in the video, all the Han emperors were clenching their fists!

Some of them have only read fragments of it in history books.

But don't know the details.

But when those heinous scenes appeared today, this fire of national hatred cannot be extinguished no matter what!

…

【And after that, it became even more excessive! 】

[Even the maids in the palace of the Empress Dowager were burned to death by the Huns!]

[It was just a maid who died, no big deal?!]

【No!】

[Even if you are beating a dog, doesn’t it still depend on the owner? 】

[Can wild dogs and official dogs be treated equally?]

[Besides, this is the maid next to the Empress Dowager! The Huns killed them whenever they asked. How arrogant was this arrogance? 】

[I don’t care at all how your Han Dynasty reacts, and I don’t take your Han Dynasty seriously at all!]

…

At this time, the scene came to the court of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, sat in the palace.

Your Highness and all the ministers looked serious.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "I have summoned you today to discuss countermeasures against the Xiongnu."

"It was war or peace, and it happened more than once."

Prime Minister Tian Fu held up his hands and said calmly: "This is not a simple issue of war and peace."

"When I came, I talked about this matter with the Queen Mother of the East Palace. The Queen Mother was very sad."

"But what the Queen Mother doesn't understand is why the Huns are so familiar with the situation in the Han Palace."

"In my opinion, we should carefully check the escort team to find the spies."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expression did not change at all, and he still said very sternly: "Don't talk about him, I don't have that much free time."

At this time, Taihang ordered Wang Hui to stand up: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Speak." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Hui stood like a pine tree and raised his head to admonish: "Your Majesty, at the last court meeting, the reason why I suggested that the court give up the peace policy is because the court and the Xiongnu cannot negotiate peace at all!"

"One side is trying to compromise, is weak, and is bent on flattery;"

"The other party is never satisfied, has insatiable desires, and keeps extorting!"

"The reason why the Huns are like this is because we, the Han Dynasty, have been comparing ourselves to yellow sheep for more than sixty years."

"Always speak to the wolf with four hooves running away quickly."

"Now, with His Majesty's divine power."

"The four seas are united and the world is united."

"A vast territory and substantial national power."

"I, a big man, am no longer a yellow sheep who can only run away!"

"Therefore, I believe that the time has come for the Han Dynasty to teach the Xiongnu a lesson!"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers smiled and nodded in agreement.

Prime Minister Tian Fu looked sideways and said nothing.

But at this time, Han Anguo, the imperial censor, was old but spoke forcefully: "Your Majesty, I heard that Emperor Gaozu was once besieged by the Xiongnu in Pingcheng for seven days, and even ran out of food."

"But after Emperor Gao returned to Beijing, not only did he not feel angry, nor did he have any thoughts of retaliating with tit for tat, on the contrary, he decided to repay evil with kindness."

Wang Hui's eyebrows stood up: "What do you mean, sir, to keep repaying evil with kindness?"

Han Anguo slowly straightened his body and said, "When will we be able to retaliate against wrongs?"

"Gaozu relied on and implemented the policy of marriage, which has benefited five generations."

"It was precisely because Emperors Wen and Jing understood that they could not engage in long-term foreign wars that they continued their peace with the Huns."

"I believe that we cannot easily start a war with the Xiongnu."

Wang Hui snorted coldly: "What the imperial censor said is wrong."

"Emperor Gaozu, for decades of military service, endured the humiliation and did not avenge the humiliation of Pingcheng because he did not have enough strength at the time!"

"We also need to recuperate, conform to the vision of the world, and solve the problem of food and clothing for people's livelihood."

"Now that the imperial court is powerful, the border is still threatened every year, and soldiers suffer heavy casualties."

"Have you ever seen that the cars transporting the body of my burly man on the road are connected from front to back!"

"This is something that makes all my Han subjects sad!"

"Therefore, I believe that we should resolutely attack the Xiongnu to prevent this tragedy from continuing and be passed on to our descendants!"

But Han Anguo was old-fashioned and even asserted: "You are wrong! I think that we cannot give up our old career without ten times the benefits!"

"You can't change the routine without getting a hundredfold benefit!"

…

Right now, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sitting on it, rubbing his fingers back and forth.

It can be said that the main war faction and the main peace faction are fighting fiercely.

For a while, there seemed to be no result.

…

After a long while, the noise in the palace continued.

Wang Hui: "I thought that the Xiongnu could only subjugate, but not be merciful!"

Han Anguo vetoed everything: "Even if you are subdued, you must use benevolence and wisdom. I believe that the way to use military force is to use cold to wait for heat, to use calm to control chaos, and to use ease to wait for labor."

"The Huns are on horseback all year round, eating, drinking, doing business, and sleeping, but we still have to organize, train, recruit, etc., and use our troops forcefully, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

Suddenly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had been silent all this time, heard this and suddenly said: "I have already known about the virtues of the Huns, so there is no need to say more."

"What I want to ask now is..."

"To fight or not to fight!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell into silence, and no minister spoke again.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw this, he looked aside.

"Come on, bring me the two things I brought."

After a while, the two eunuchs hurried over, each holding a bamboo slip in their hands.

"These are two documents found in Tianlu Pavilion. One is the credential written by the Xiongnu Dashan to the Empress Dowager Lu in that year."

"One is Queen Mother Lu's reply to the Xiongnu."
