In April of the 25th year of Emperor Liu Ming, a caravan of the United Tribe in the Grassland was brutally killed at Xiangcheng Pass. Judging from the wound, it was a halberd that only Xiangcheng people would use. Therefore, the United Tribe of the Grassland sent [-] troops to station at Xiangcheng Pass. In addition, the magistrate of Xiangcheng must give an explanation.However, the magistrate sent people to investigate, but nothing was found, let alone the statement that there was a tribal prince among the people who died in the caravan from the United Tribe of the Grassland.The magistrate was so helpless that he wrote this matter into a booklet and handed it over to the imperial court, but he never expected that the general soldier would go to negotiate with the grassland united tribes privately, and immediately started fighting if there was any disagreement, and died of his injuries not long after he came back.Once the general soldier died, chaos started. Originally, the court was still negotiating compensation, but when they heard the news of the general soldier's death, they immediately started discussing the attack on the united tribes on the grasslands, giving them a little color.

"This is obviously another slap in the face for us! I think they sent five thousand troops to the customs not to seek justice at all, but to give us a little bit of power!" General Huwei is over half a hundred years old, but his voice is still loud, "Since they want to Fight, then we might as well fight!"

Hubu Shangshu glared at him angrily, can't you spend money on war?I don't know how much money was spent to control the epidemic, and with the continuous issuance of new policies in recent months, the treasury has long run out of money!

"That being said, we are the ones who made mistakes after all..."

"What does it mean that we made mistakes first?" General Huwei looked at the Minister of Rites angrily. What he hated the most were these guys who had to follow the rules of etiquette in everything they did.Soldiers never tire of cheating. If he was as straightforward as them, he would have died on the battlefield countless times! "The barbarian said that it was us who killed the Baiyu people, and we killed it? I've only heard that you need to prove that you have to prove that you have not killed anyone! The murder weapon belongs to us in Xiangcheng. Who can tell?" The person who guarantees to use us is from Xiangcheng? The barbarians are the most cunning, maybe it's a good show they directed and performed, and they want to send troops to attack us Baiyu's excuse!"

The Minister of Rites bowed his hands at the emperor: "You can't say that. I, Bai Yugui, are a state of etiquette, and the grassland union tribes are unreasonable, but we can't be equal to them. The most urgent thing is to prove our innocence, and then we can discuss compensation. The matter is still to ask the teacher to blame."

"You're still trying to prove your innocence after everyone's making a fuss about you?" General Huwei opened his mouth in disbelief, "The five thousand troops might attack Xiangcheng Pass tomorrow, so what's the point? Time will prove its innocence!"

"That's why we should select someone from the Ministry of Rites to negotiate with the United Tribes of the Grassland to buy time..."

"The chief soldiers who went to negotiate were all killed!"

……

For a while, the court was divided into two factions to quarrel endlessly. The main combat faction headed by General Huwei said that the grassland united tribes were clearly uneasy and kind, otherwise how could there be any reason to send troops to guard outside the customs?The officials headed by Hubu Shangshu said that even if they were uneasy and well-intentioned, a mere [-] soldiers were nothing to be afraid of, and the title of "a state of etiquette" was more important.

"Okay!" The emperor rubbed his forehead wearily, "Negotiations are necessary, and soldiers must be sent. As for attacking Xiangcheng Pass? It's only [-] troops. Our Xiangcheng pass guards are ten times their number, and I will lend them No one dares to do anything wrong. The Ministry of Rites will send a person to Xiangcheng, along with an imperial decree: If the United Tribes in the Grassland insist on not giving us time to solve the case, then we don’t mind paying attention first and then fighting!"
