Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 150 Jibu
During the court session, Liu Ying showed the emperor's anger for the first time and almost lost her mind.

And Empress Lu also participated in this court meeting. Not many ministers came to the court meeting. Only those important ministers who were deeply trusted by Liu Ying came to participate. They still didn't understand what happened. They looked at each other and Zhou Bo was angry. He said: "Hun Shanyu sent an envoy to humiliate the queen mother, and your majesty wants to cut her!"

Hearing this sentence, the ministers exploded the pot and made a noise.

The generals all thought that they should send troops, and most of the advisors thought that they should be patient.

Xia Houying roared loudly: "The monarch humiliates his ministers to death! If you are afraid, hide at home and let us go to the death battle!"

However, Zhao Yao reprimanded: "Are we afraid? The big man has experienced many wars, and he has just recovered. At this moment, he is going to go to war. Isn't the hard work of more than ten years in vain?"

"Isn't the purpose of running a country on weekdays to defeat foreign enemies? Otherwise, what kind of country would you govern!"

"You want to fight, okay, do you have food? Do you have war horses? What do you use to fight? Like the violent Qin people who gather millions of people as soldiers and go over the mountains to attack the Huns?! You are this I want to destroy the big man!"

The two sides quarreled immediately, and Empress Lu looked at the ministers coldly without saying a word.

At this time, Liu Ying couldn't bear it any longer, and he shouted: "This hatred is unbearable! I will never endure it! My will has been decided! I will go on an expedition against the Xiongnu! Who wants to go?!"

When Liu Ying spoke like this, the group of ministers stopped arguing immediately. Zhao Yao and the others were full of worry, and just as they were about to speak, Liu Ying scolded: "If there is any more patience, drag them out and behead them!"

The counselors were suddenly unable to speak, and Cao Shen silently calculated the supplies needed to go to the Xiongnu in his heart, and his face suddenly became unsightly.To crusade against the Xiongnu, at least 50 million troops must be recruited, and hundreds of thousands of people must be escorted to deliver supplies. The empty treasury of the big Han basically cannot support the food and supplies needed. It can only be temporarily collected from the people, and the people may not be able to support them. , You have to collect taxes from various vassal states.

What's more, the Huns were all cavalry, they came and went freely, and their environment was harsh, and the infantry of the big Han could only chase after them.

At this moment, Fan Kuai stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, "I am willing to command an army of [-] people and go to crusade against the Huns!"

Fan Kuai's voice really suppressed everyone else.

Fan Kuai was originally tall and had a loud voice. When he got up, lowered his head angrily, and looked at the other ministers, none of them dared to look at him. The generals were very happy and agreed. Liu Ying Said: "Okay, let's take the Marquis of Wuyang as the general!"

"I really should take this fellow out to behead!!"

Just when Liu Ying spoke, someone suddenly shouted, interrupting Liu Ying's words.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked to the side, and it was the big Han Zhonglang who spoke.

This Zhonglang general is called Jibu. He is from Chu and once served Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu's defeat, Liu Bang offered a reward to arrest him. Later, under the intercession of Xiahouying, Liu Bang pardoned him and worshipped him as Langzhong, Liu Bang. After Ying ascended the throne, he was worshipped as Zhonglang.

Because he is righteous, likes to fight injustice, and keeps his promises, so the people of Chu often say: "It is better to get Jibu Yinuo if you get a hundred catties of gold."

"What did you say?!"

Fan Kuai walked to Ji Bu in a few steps, lowered his head and clenched his fists, as if he was about to start the next moment.

There was no fear on Ji Bu's face. He said: "Emperor Gao led an army of 40 troops and was besieged by the Xiongnu in Pingcheng. Now how dare you say that you can defeat the Xiongnu with 10 troops?!"

"Is your ability even greater than Emperor Gao?!"

Fan Kuai was stunned for a moment, resisted his anger, and said, "At that time, the national strength was still weak.

"Qin State used millions of manpower to attack the Huns, and finally led to the uprising of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others in the country. The national power of Han is not as good as Qin. Do you think that there are no people like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the Han? In order to flatter Your Majesty, Regardless of the world, who should you kill if you don't kill?!"

Ji Bu said loudly, Fan Kuai was stupid and resentful, but could not refute.

The rest of the generals were very angry, and they asked, "How can such a shame be endured?"

Ji Bu said angrily: "Modun attacked the Wusun and other countries before, and he used a lot of military force, and there was not much food and grass, so he used to plunder the land of Yan and Tang continuously. The cavalry can't cross the Great Wall! Modun is using aggressive tactics!"

"He saw that the Tang state was getting stronger and stronger, and the power of the Han state was constantly recovering, so he sent that messenger to come to die. His purpose was to provoke us. I predict that at this moment, Modun must be well prepared, right at the Great Wall. Waiting for us outside, as long as our army goes out of the Great Wall, it will definitely be ambushed by him!!!”

"You are all generals who have been fighting all year round, why can't you even see this?"

"Can one's honor and disgrace be compared to the prosperity of the world?!"

"Bear the humiliation and bear the burden. After 50 years of training, the big man will be able to fight the Huns with all his strength. If he is in a hurry to fight now, the big man will never wait for the day when he can defeat the Huns!"

Ji Bu said, raised his head and looked at Liu Ying, "Your Majesty can only speak, and those who dare to be patient will be beheaded! The minister has finished speaking, please kill me!"

At this moment, Liu Ying woke up in an instant. He gritted his teeth, trembling all over because of this huge shame, and said nothing.

Empress Lu glanced at Ji Bu and said calmly, "Let's all go back."

"You can't speak to the outside world about today's affairs."

"But the queen mother!"

"No need to say."

The ministers left helplessly, but Empress Lu left Ji Bu alone.

Liu Ying's eyes were red, she looked at Empress Lu beside her, and cried out in despair, "Mother"

"Why are you crying! What problem can you solve by crying here? As the ruler of a country, you should put the world first. This is the letter from Mo Dun. You will read it every day when you get up, and don't forget this shame."

Empress Lu threw the letter to Liu Ying, who was shaking and bowing her head.

Only then did Empress Lu look at Ji Bu calmly, and said, "General Ji is right, the world must be the most important thing. Come here, reward a hundred gold!"

"The monarch is humiliated, and the minister can't take revenge. What kind of face is there to be rewarded?" Ji Bu's face was also very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Please don't insult me ​​like this."

"Then General Ji thought, when will the Xiongnu be attacked?"

Ji Bu said seriously: "If you let the Marquis of Huaiyin."

"No!"

Empress Lu interrupted Ji Bu immediately, but turned around and said to Liu Ying: "In the future, you can often ask General Ji to ask about the world's important affairs."

Liu Ying nodded.

"Ying, don't let Chang know about this."

"He is irritable and reckless. If he finds out, something will happen, do you understand?"

Liu Ying nodded helplessly again.

Empress Lu looked at Ji Bu in front of him, thinking that he was no weaker than Fan Kuai just now, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

It was drizzling in Chang'an, and the sky became gloomy.

Before Liu Chang entered the Jiaofang Hall, his voice had already entered the hall.

"Mom, I'm hungry!!"

When Liu Chang rushed into the Jiaofang Hall wet and rushed to Empress Lv's side, he noticed the difference. His mother looked a little sad and angry?Liu Chang looked at his mother in surprise. He had never seen such an expression on his mother's face before, "What happened?"

Liu Chang's expression became very serious.

"Where did you go crazy? Change your clothes."

"What happened?"

"What can happen, what do you want to eat?"

"Mother, don't lie to me. Did something happen?"

"It's okay! Eat!"

"Oh, it's fine!"

Liu Chang smiled and sat beside Empress Lv. The two of them ate together, finished the meal quickly, changed clothes, Liu Chang wiped his mouth with his sleeve, got up and shouted, "Mom, I'll go look for it. Duke Gai is practicing his sword!"

"Wait!" Empress Lu stopped him, took out a silk cloth and wiped his mouth seriously, "Go, don't play in the rain and you'll get sick."

Liu Chang agreed immediately, and walked out of the Jiaofang Hall with a smile. The moment he walked out of the Jiaofang Hall, the smile on his face disappeared. He did not go to Tianlu Pavilion, but went directly to Xuanshi Hall, standing in front of the hall. The two attendants were about to speak when Liu Chang rushed in.

When Liu Chang came in, Liu Ying sat alone in the Xuanshi Hall with red eyes. Seeing Liu Chang breaking in, he rubbed his eyes hastily and forced a smile, "Why is the eldest brother here?"

When Liu Chang saw his brother's red eyes, he knew that something must have happened.

Liu Chang stared at Liu Ying's eyes and said nothing.

Liu Ying smiled unnaturally, "What's wrong?"

"Brother still want to hide it from me?! Grandma told me!!"

Liu Chang growled angrily.

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, then she put her hands on her forehead, tears dripping, and her voice was mixed with crying, "eldest brother. I am incompetent, I can't even protect my mother."
