Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 143 Zang Feng, Back to the Carbine 【Tickets】

At the end of September, Chang'an is already a little chilly, and there is a gentle breeze outside the window.

The emperor sits on the central throne facing south, and the first two rows are civil and military officials.

Wei Qing, chief of the military ranks, followed by Huo Qubing, Li Guang, and Cheng Buzhi.

The civil servants Gong Sunhong, Li Cai, Yushi Fanxi, and Taichang Zhouping.

Under the two columns of civil and military, it is the head of each clan.

They are no strangers to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. Li Guang and others were famous in civil and military affairs, and they were born in these clans.

"I invite all your families and clans to gather in Chang'an. Apart from observing the completion ceremony of the Military Mansion, I have something else to say."

After the emperor made his opening remarks, he immediately turned to the main topic: "I announced the Martial Arts Lord last month, what do you think?"

Here we come... the lords of the clans thought to themselves.

Li Zhaoxian, the patriarch of the Li family who was born in Li Guang, expressed his opinion: "After discussion with the clan, we are willing to support the Martial Arts Order and send our children into official positions."

The meaning is very clear, feel free to pay.

Others also expressed their views.

The emperor was face to face, tempted to evade, there was no need at all, so they were very direct.

There was no change of mood on Liu Che's face, and he continued: "I plan to increase the number of marriages between the clan's children and your clan."

This time, the hearts of several clan leaders sank.

It seems like a good thing for the clan to increase marriages with clans like them, and it seems to be a good thing to conclude marriage with the clan.

But take a deep dive.

It is indeed of great benefit to the clan and the great man, but not necessarily to the clan.

The relationship between the clan and their clans has been further deepened, and indirectly through them, the control over all walks of life and counties and counties in the world has been deepened.

But for the purity of these clans, the relatively closed clan interior is a big shock.

Through this kind of internal in-law relationship, the emperor will weaken the aristocratic family, which is also weakening some possible hidden dangers and further centralizing power.

The heads of the several clans were in a state of mind ups and downs, and Li Zhao, the head of the Li family, wanted to speak.

In this case, the clan's response method is to delay, and they will increase marriages within them to reduce the impact of the clan on them.

However, at this moment, a low but breathtaking voice suddenly sounded in the study.

The head of the Li family turned his head to look, but saw that it was Huo Qubing's location, making the sound.

After the champion entered the hall, he sat there without saying a word, his eyes restrained, as if he was asleep.

But at this moment, a sound like the roar of dragons and tigers suddenly came out of his body, and when he listened carefully, it seemed like the movement of soldiers' fronts crisscrossing.

The voice was low and weak, but as soon as it rang, the room was filled with awe.

Li Zhaowei was cold, he didn't make a sound early or late, but when he was about to speak, his voice suddenly sounded, which obviously meant a warning.

If the emperor disagreed, Huo Qubing would never release Bingfeng in the emperor's study.

Obviously, this is what the emperor meant.

Li Zhao took a breath and said: "In our clan, if there are male and female descendants of the right age, it is a glorious thing for the clan to be able to enter into an marriage relationship with the clan.

They won't say no outright, but they won't say yes either.

There is a countermeasure, and they will accept it first. This is the way these clans deal with the clan.

However, just as Li Zhao finished speaking, Dong Xu, the servant behind the emperor, took a step forward and placed several scrolls of bamboo slips in front of the heads of the clans.

"This is the list that I have asked people to draw up. All the heirs of the right age and marriageable families are on it. I have selected the appropriate clan children to marry with the heirs of your family.

You see, there are mistakes and omissions in this list. "

All the Patriarchs unfolded the bamboo slips and looked at them, their hearts were cold.

But it was written on the list that they knew the relationship between their heirs and relatives like the back of the palm of their hand.

Even the number of children in the outer chambers raised by some patriarchs in secret, their surnames, and their ages are all clear, without missing a single one.

The few people were awe-inspiring after seeing it, and their every move was under the monitoring of the emperor.

This is an obvious way to show off, and they simply cannot refuse it.

The emperor's methods are interlocking and pressing at every step.

Liu Che squinted his eyes and looked at these clans, his eyes were solemn.

There was the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion before, and the Huainan turmoil later, so the emperor made up his mind to deal with the clans, clans, and even the princes outside the clan.

The situation in the families of these clan lords in front of them is the result of the secret investigation, that is, the newly established Embroidered Clothes Envoy.

If they get married according to the records on this list, it is hard to imagine how these clans will be infiltrated by the clan.This is far beyond their previous guesses.

Several Patriarchs exchanged glances quickly.

Li Zhao secretly groaned, and he was responsible for speaking, which was agreed in advance.

But at this moment, the sound of dragons and tigers roared again.

Li Zhao glanced at Huo Qubing.

Threatened me as soon as I spoke, exactly.

The emperor took out all the lists, and was willing to exchange the clan's children for relatives, which was considered fair, and it was impossible to refuse in person.

Li Zhao said with a 'pleasant' face: "We will follow His Majesty's wishes."

Liu Che had a mind of the emperor, and after drawing the stick, he wanted to give the sweet dates to eat: "You guys are well-informed, you should know the previous proposal of the champion, I want to expand the border.

I know you are worried and think that the cost of war must be heavy.

But the idea is not long-term enough. If you are caught in a long-term battle, the battle situation is anxious, and you are deeply involved in it, the logistics will be output continuously, which will indeed consume a lot.

But if the enemy can be defeated, the consumption will be reduced to the minimum, and the subsequent harvest, land, and population will all be converted into income.

You wait for the army to spend and open up a new border, and I will allow you to send people to the new land first to make profits. "

Everyone knows the truth about war, but the battlefield changes rapidly, and there is no room for negligence.

Han seems to be strong, but in a real fight, who can guarantee victory?
Thoughts fluctuated, several Patriarchs subconsciously glanced at the two figures in the first row of generals.

Confidence inexplicably increased a little, these two seemed to be able to... After all, with the strength of the Huns, they were also defeated by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Especially when Huo Qubing's performance was witnessed by the crowd after the opening of the Military Mansion, the emperor's words were particularly convincing.

If the military is really big, and the consumption ratio of the war can be controlled well, more land will be occupied and the population will be more populated, which will not only increase the depth of the military, but also improve security.

There are also benefits in terms of abundant products, reserves of population and talents, and strengthening the country and enriching the people.

The key is to be able to earn the most victory fruits with the least consumption. Whether this can be done is very important.

It's getting dark.

A group of clan masters came out of the emperor's study, everyone's face was calm, but their hearts were agitated.

In the study just now, it was a confrontation between the imperial power and their clans.

The results are obvious.

However, the clan can inherit and continue, and has its own way of survival.

This time they came to Chang'an, they had already vaguely expected the situation before, it was not the worst, the emperor still left room for it.

"Let's go to Mr. Dong to discuss it. If the emperor wants to raise troops, the civil servants must be the first to oppose it."

This is what several people have thought about in advance.

The emperor has plans, and they naturally have countermeasures.

Dong Zhongshu's status ranks first in Confucianism in the world.

When they left by car, they saw Huo Qubing coming out behind them, separated from Wei Qing at the palace gate, and boarded a chariot next to them.

Princess frame.

Princess Pingxian has been waiting for Huo Qubing outside the palace, what are the two of them doing so late... a member of the clan wondered.

The carriage moved forward, and a group of people soon came to the courtyard where Dong Zhongshu lived in the home of his disciple Bai Yu.

It's getting dark.

At the courtyard gate, Dong Zhongshu, accompanied by Bai Yu, wanted to go out.

"Master is going out?"

"I have something to ask my master for advice and discuss." Li Zhao, Li Zhong, and Wang Qian, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, said.

"Let's go together, let's talk on the road." Dong Zhongshu said.

Several people boarded Li's large carriage again.

There were six people sitting in the carriage, a little crowded, next to each other.

Bai Yu accompanied the frame, but did not board the car.Behind them were several other chariots, all of which belonged to the heads of various clans.

"Where is the master going?"

"Go to Champion Hou." Dong Zhongshu replied.

Several Patriarchs said: "When I was waiting to leave the palace, I saw Champion Hou getting into the car of Her Highness the Princess. I am afraid that he is not at home, so Master will know his whereabouts."

Dong Zhongshu nodded slightly.

"I waited here because I wanted to ask my master, do you know that His Majesty has the idea of ​​expanding the territory in response to the performance of the champion?"

Dong Zhongshu sighed: "I am worried about this matter. It is true that the champion Hou Bingfeng was at his peak, but fighting for the front in the battlefield is related to state affairs, life and death, and there is no room for mistakes.

Once the war starts, all the ministries of my big man must do their best for the war.Too many wars are not good for the country! "

"Then Master went to Champion Hou, hoping to persuade him to restrain his troops?"

Li Zhaodao: "Based on my observation, the champion may not be easily persuaded."

Dong Zhongshu said firmly: "When it comes to military affairs, Champion Hou and General Wei are both famous generals, but when it comes to the influence on His Majesty and the degree of trust your Majesty has in his subjects, Huo Hou will not be the second person.

Champion Hou is also the general in the main battle, so we must persuade him first, so that we can reduce the possibility of fighting. "

Everyone agrees.

Huo Qubing was taught by the emperor when he was young, and he spent half of his time growing up with the emperor.

The relationship between the two monarchs and ministers is different from others.

Liu Che is ambitious and decisive, and there are indeed very few people who can influence him.

But Huo Qubing is definitely among them.

"How confident are you, Master, that you can convince Huo Hou?" Several Patriarchs asked at the same time.

Dong Zhongshu stroked his beard habitually: "Did you think that the Champion Hou won the Grand Priest of the Military Mansion this afternoon, and he has already taken the upper hand?

Have you ever heard that there is a saying called arrogant soldiers, defeat their ambitions. "

Li Zhao's eyes brightened slightly: "In the battle of the military mansion, the master is deliberately showing weakness to let the champion Hou have the upper hand, and there are follow-up measures to restrain him?"

Dong Zhongshu shook his head and said: "It's not intentional to let him gain the upper hand, his military front is unstoppable in the military mansion, advancing layer by layer, I never expected it.

At that time, I couldn't stop him. "

Everyone understands.

This afternoon, Dong Zhongshu saw that the situation had changed irreversibly.So he took advantage of the situation to restrain himself and gave up the control of the military mansion with Huo Qubing. However, he planned for a long time and secretly hid the front. Obviously, he still had a back hand, and he was going to use it to restrain Huo Qubing.

Now when he went to Huo Qubing, it was like returning a carbine, planning to launch a counterattack with his backhand.

As expected of Mr. Dong, he said that he shouldn't be so easily dominated by the champion Hou, and he has no power to fight back.

"How confident is Master that you can persuade the champion to obey Master's wishes?"

Dong Zhongshu said solemnly: "After today's events, everyone should know how powerful the champion is. You must not underestimate him because of his young age."

Li Zhao smiled wryly and said, "He robbed us of all the things inherited from our clan, so how dare we look down upon them?"

Dong Zhongshu said: "It's so good, I'm at least [-] to [-]% sure about going to him this time."

There are so many... The heads of several clans were refreshed and felt that the road had turned around.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, what means did Dong Zhongshu have to suppress Huo Qubing?
Several people discussed secretly in the car for a while, and soon came to the north of Weiyang Palace.

A group of people got out of the car, and saw a mansion in front of them, magnificent and exquisite.

With the knowledge of the heads of the clans, this mansion is also a bright spot.

"This is……"

"Your Majesty gave Huo Hou this jade garden before, but he didn't want it, so His Majesty gave it to Her Royal Highness instead.

The princess has been busy decorating the house these days.When the two met, the princess would often ask Huohou to give some advice to the mansion. "

Dong Zhongshu said: "There is no doubt that the two should be here."

The wedding is approaching, and preparations are already underway in the house, and some places are decorated with red and colorful colors, beaming with joy.

A group of people came to the gate and saw the imperial guards on duty, thinking that they were indeed here.

Huo Qubing, as a Lang Zhongling, has [-] elite imperial troops under his control, and he has his own soldiers, so the gate is guarded by the imperial army, and he does not exceed the limit.

Not long after the soldiers went in to report, the porter came out and brought a few people in.

Entering the mansion this time, it really is a good place.

There is a lake in the house, and the corridor crosses the lake, and the main hall at the other end can only be reached by walking over it.

There are palace lanterns on both sides of the corridor, twisting and turning, and walking on it, you will find that the scenery inside the house is extremely beautiful.In the inner lake under the corridor, there are still a few fish swimming around foolishly.

Crossing the small lake is the reception side hall of the inner hall.

Several people entered the hall, Liu Qing should be in the inner house and did not show up.

Only Huo Qubing was still dressed in the official robe of Lang Zhongling from before, and there was a tall and burly girl standing aside, squinting at them.

It was late at this time, but the hall was brightly lit.

After seeing the ceremony, several people took their seats.

Dong Zhongshu cut to the chase: "Does Huo Hou know why I came here?"

Huo Qubing's face was stern, serious and serious: "But master thinks that I have won the military mansion, so you want to give me some pointers?"

Dong Zhongshu did his part: "Exactly, Huo Hou thought he became the chief priest of the military mansion, so he controlled the military mansion?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. I have practiced in the military manor for many years. If it is really that simple, why should I spend so much effort to organize and promote this matter?"

Dong Zhongshu talked eloquently: "There are many secrets inside and outside the military mansion. Let me ask Huo Hou, you want to use the military mansion as the foundation to promote military affairs, spread military art, and educate the people."

Huo Qubing hummed.

Dong Zhongshu said: "That can't be wrong, I have two conditions, if Huo Hou agrees, I will tell you the secret of the Military Palace, other matters can also be discussed, otherwise the Military Palace is yours and cannot be used. "

The several Patriarchs sat and watched the exchange of words between the two, thinking in their hearts that listening to Master Dong's words, they were obviously very sure.

Huo Qubing slowly spread his hands: "The secret of the military mansion mentioned by the master refers to the small world of the military mansion hidden behind the slips of the sub-sage Wu Qi. There are many changes that cannot be seen on the surface. .”

Dong Zhongshu was stunned.

At this moment, Huo Qubing's eyebrows shone slightly, and the tiger roared suddenly.

Ten miles to the north of Chang'an, new changes appeared in the Military Mansion!
There is still a follow-up to the matter of the military mansion, but Champion Hou seems to have discovered it... Several Patriarchs thought.

Ps: Please ask for tickets at the beginning of the month, and there will be an update plan for next month later, if you are interested, you can take a look~ Thank you for your support.
