I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 382 Diplomatic Negotiations Are Not Making Wishes
"How could Your Majesty be so impulsive?"

"Even if you want to start a war, you also need to discuss with us?"

"At worst, I have to invite the Empress Dowager to play..."

After the court was over, walking on the palace road from the Xuanshi Hall to the Sima Gate, all the court officials looked serious, and there were similar whispers from the crowd from time to time.

But amidst these whispers, only such things as 'Why is this so, Your Majesty? "How should this be done" and other inquiries, but there is not a single word, not in a questioning or questioning tone.

It didn't know how long it took before the people who were clustered towards the palace gate began to cast their gazes in front of the crowd.

——At times like this, someone has to stand up.

Whether it's to appease the people in the court, or to go back and persuade them - at such a time, someone must stand up and do something.

Not surprisingly, the one who stood up in the end was Yuan Ang, the most popular servant among the court ministers...
"I think, gentlemen, there is no need to worry so much."

With a soft word, he drew everyone's attention to himself, and saw Yuan Ang leisurely brushing his beard repeatedly, and pondered for a moment pretending to be mysterious;
When everyone became a little anxious, Fang smiled lightly, turned sideways with ease, and gave Liu She, Uncle Tian and others beside him a little bow.

Waiting for these people to bow their hands in return, expressing that they don't mind Yuan Ang being in the limelight, Yuan Ang turned around and let out a long sigh...

"I still remember that when Emperor Taizong Xiaowen saw the year, someone in the court suggested to Emperor Taizong: Wu Wang Liu Bi has already taken shape, and it is better to strike first than to wait for others to fight back."

"But Emperor Taizong said: The prince accidentally fell and killed Wu Wang's prince by mistake. Even if Wu Wang had some resentment, it is really understandable."

"If it is the opposite, it is against the way of being a minister, and you should send troops to pacify it;"

"However, if the king of Wu did not turn against him and Chang'an sent troops first, he would be afraid that the people in the world would say: The court is greedy for the land of Wu, so kill the prince first and then the king..."

Such a word made everyone frown in doubt, but Yuan Ang smiled again, turned his head to the side, and looked at Liu She with a half-smile.

"Peach Marquis, do you remember what the first and second edicts were issued by Emperor Taizong after he finished speaking?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their gazes to Liu She again, as if they wanted to hear about the 'Secret Fortune of Taizong'.

Under the eyes of everyone, Liu She thought for a moment, and finally there was a burst of understanding on his face.

"If it wasn't mentioned by the eunuch, I almost forgot..."

···
"Since Emperor Taizu Gao established Han Guozuo, it was a system: princes and kings ruled in Chang'an every three years, and they were not allowed to leave the country without the edict of the emperor."

"Unless there are other edicts, the rule of 'every three years' must be strictly followed. You must never go to court privately before the time is up, and you must never not go to court when the time comes."

"—Back then, Prince Wu Wang was the crown prince at that time, that is, Emperor Xian Xiaojing accidentally killed him by mistake. Emperor Taizong was furious when he heard about it, and severely punished the crown prince;"

"Afterwards, people sent the corpse of Prince Wu back to Wu to return to the roots with fallen leaves."

"But after seeing the fall of the crown prince, Liu Bi complained: Since he died in Chang'an, he should be buried in Chang'an. Why carry it back to this barbaric place in Jingwu?"

"Thus, the crown prince's body was sent back to Chang'an. Emperor Taizong had no choice but to order Fengchang to bury the crown prince generously with princely rites, and posthumously: Prince Wu Gong..."

Hearing Liu She mention this past event, everyone present also turned their eyes away, falling into a short memory.

Although it has been decades since Emperor Taizong Xiaowen passed away, even Emperor Taizong Xiaowen died more than ten years ago, but for the top of the power pyramid of the Han Dynasty: Chang'an Chaotang, it happened in the What happened during the reign of Emperor Taizong is still vivid in my mind.

——In the political and official circles, more than ten years is definitely not a long time.

Nowadays, the courtiers who are able to enter the court and are eligible to participate in the court council have already begun to emerge as early as Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and even earlier in the reign of Empress Dowager Lu.

Let’s say that Yuan An, the current imperial servant, was already a retainer of the general Lu Lu as early as when the Empress Dowager Lu was in power;

Although after the death of the Empress Dowager Lu, the relatives of the Lu family were uprooted due to a "rebellion of Zhu Lu", but during the process of the death of the Empress Dowager Lu, the rebellion of the Zhu Lu, and the joint punishment of the princes and ministers, Yuan An did not Not implicated.

Even instead of being implicated, he was appointed as Zhonglang by Emperor Taizong, who had just become the son of heaven, under the recommendation of his brother Yuan Kui.

As for the 27 years of Taizong Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng's reign, Yuan Ang witnessed and even participated in the major and minor events inside and outside the court of the Han family.

Yuan Ang is in such a situation, and the other people are basically not far behind.

——Wei Wei has no doubts, as early as Emperor Taizong's time, he had already been a Lang official in the palace, and gradually received the attention of Emperor Taizong;
——Lang Zhongling Zhou Ren, also in the reign of Emperor Taizong, was favored because of his superb medical skills, and was sent by Emperor Taizong to take care of the prince at that time: Prince Qi.

Even now, Zhao Yu, the youngest Tingwei among the Sangong and Jiuqing, has been a court official with a subordinate office in the last years of Emperor Taizong, and was sentenced to death for being honest and honest in the third year of Emperor Xiaojing. He was appointed Lingshi and worked beside the then Taiwei Zhou Yafu.

Therefore, when Liu She mentioned the events of Emperor Taizong's reign, most people expressed memories and reminiscences, rather than enthusiasm.

Everyone was deeply impressed by the past story of Prince Qi smashing a chessboard to death Prince Wu.

Not only because of this incident, but also because of this incident, it was really difficult for people to forget easily.

——The crown prince was unhappy playing chess, and he killed the crown prince sitting opposite him on the spot with a chessboard!
Such a thing, no matter which dynasty or generation it happened in, would probably be a spectacle that shocked the world for three or five generations.

It is precisely because of this reason - because this incident is too outrageous, too absurd, and it is really hard to forget, so everyone still has this clear understanding of the major events that happened before and after this incident. ground memory.

——Wu Prince Liu Xian died, and Emperor Taizong was furious. He was stunned to see Prince Qi being pushed outside the Xuanshi Hall and beaten by a board for half an hour!
A little angry, Emperor Taizong was full of shame, wrote a slightly tactful but sincere letter of apology, and sent someone to bring the coffin of the crown prince Liu Xian back to Wu.

About half a month later, news came from Wudi that Liu Bi 'refused to accept the body of the crown prince', and half a month later, Liu Xian's coffin was sent back to Chang'an.

Being slapped by Liu Bi without any hesitation, Emperor Taizong felt his cheeks burning hot;
And it was really unreasonable, so Liu Xian could only be buried generously, and the matter was dealt with coldly.

A few months later, it happened to be the time for Liu Bi to "reign in Chang'an every three years". According to the system, Liu Bi had to go to Chang'an to show his loyalty to the emperor.

But Liu Bi excused his illness and asked Emperor Taizong to "go to Chang'an after recovering from his illness", and this "illness" has been "illness" until the third year of Emperor Xian Xiaojing, the night when the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out .

The incident that Yuan An just mentioned happened when Emperor Taizong first received the news that Liu Bi would not go to court because of his illness.

——Liu Bi pretended to be sick and refused to go to the court, and the courtiers and officials were panicked, and suggested to Emperor Taizong to "strike first to be strong";
After making it clear that he would never take the initiative to take action, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen issued two edicts on the same day.

The first letter was to give Wu Wang Liu Bi a few sticks, and on the grounds of 'old and weak', he was granted a license to no longer abide by the rule of 'the princes reign in Chang'an every three years'.

If this edict was to preserve a bit of face for the Chang'an court under the premise that Liu Bi would not go to Chang'an again, then the second edict can really show that at that time, what did Emperor Taizong do? What kind of judgment did you make...

"The body of the crown prince was sent back to Chang'an, and the entire court was humiliated;"

"Emperor Taizong Xiaowen issued the second edict after he granted Liu Bi no need to go to Chang'an again..."

"Hey······"

"Back then, I was still the Shaofu."

"This second edict is mainly for the Shaofu under my control."

"——Emperor Taizong Xiaowen ordered the Shaofu to start preparing weapons and ordnance for dealing with the damp and miasma in the south, and to increase the inventory of the arsenal."

"That is to say, since that edict was promulgated, everyone inside and outside the court knew clearly: the king of Wu will definitely rebel, and we can only wait for a decision..."

In an intriguing tone, telling the story of the past that has gradually come to everyone's minds, Liu She also smiled, nodded slightly to Yuan An, and passed the conversation back to Yuan An.

After taking the conversation, Yuan An sighed softly again, with a more confident look on his face.

"At that time, Emperor Taizong said clearly that he would never speculate about the king of Wu, but in fact, he began to prepare for the war at the first time——to prepare for the rebellion of the king of Wu and Liu Bi."

"This is because Emperor Taizong knew: some things, since they cannot be avoided, must be faced;"

"Since we have to face it, we must make plans early..."

···
"Besides, back then, Wu Wang Liu Bi raised his troops and attacked the city all the way, and the peak of the soldiers pointed directly at Hangu."

"The inside and outside of the court hall panicked, and suddenly an unknown number of people entered the palace, admonishing the late emperor to 'kill Chao Cuo to bring peace to the world'."

"Cough cough..."

"At that time, I also persuaded the late emperor in this way, and once let the late emperor adopt my suggestion..."

"It was only later that the prime minister at that time, Marquis Anzhen, rushed to the small courtyard where His Majesty bid farewell to Chao Cuo together with the seventh and ninth sons of the emperor at that time."

"At that time, the ninth son of the emperor once said this to the late emperor."

"—His Majesty said to the first emperor: From the moment a war breaks out, there must be a winner."

"And the peace talks are nothing more than whitewashing a certain party's willingness to surrender rather than continue to suffer losses."

"Wu and Chu raised troops to rebel, lost all righteousness, rebelled against the king, and the court brought righteousness to suppress the rebellion. This is by no means a war that can be negotiated."

"If the court begs for peace, it will lose righteousness; as for Liu Bi, no matter whether he begs for peace or not, he will die without a place to bury him."

"Under such circumstances, if the court kills Chao Cuo according to Liu Bi's wish out of fear, it is no different from begging for peace or even praying for surrender."

"Your Majesty also said..."

"Also said..."

At the end, Yuan Ang frowned and pursed his lips, as if he couldn't remember anything, but he made a hiss;
Seeing Yuan Ang like this, Liu She took up the conversation again with a smile: "Your Majesty also said: Negotiations are not about making wishes."

"Things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield can never be obtained through negotiation."

"If the other party does not obtain something on the battlefield, if it is obtained through negotiation, it will be our biggest failure..."

Hearing this, everyone let out a long "Oh~", the suspicion disappeared, and each lowered their heads to think.

The meaning of Yuan Ang, everyone can understand.

——Things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield can never be obtained at the negotiating table!

This is the character of the young emperor and his attitude towards the enemy.

This means that from now on, no matter how big the loss is, the young emperor will never bow to the Huns again.

If in the past, Liu Sheng was so stubborn, everyone might not have sent a representative to persuade Liu Sheng to say "to be tough and easy to break", and let Liu Sheng endure the humiliation and wait for the future.

But now, everyone won't do that anymore.

For one thing, today is different from the past: the Han Dynasty is basically ready for that decisive battle;

Even if he was not fully prepared, he was close to completing the preparations. Liu Sheng's attitude towards the Huns gradually became tougher, which is the reason why the question should be considered.

Secondly, it is because now, or at least this time, it is no longer necessary for the Han family to seek peace from the Huns, or even make peace with the Huns.

——The purpose of getting married is to let the Huns be fed by dowry, and then let the border areas live in peace for a few years, so that the Han family can grow and develop, and live in peace in a few years;

But this year, the Huns have already called.

Not only did the call come, but the flames of war almost spread to Guanzhong. The four border counties suffered heavy losses and the population plummeted!

The frontiers have already been abused by the Huns, so why should the Han family make peace with the Huns?
As for just now, Huyantu's verbal threats in the hall...

"In this way, His Majesty has made up his mind not to make peace with the Huns..."

"If you don't get married, even if it's not the time for the decisive battle, it's probably unavoidable to fight a little..."

"In the next few years, Hanbian, I'm afraid it will be rare..."

Realizing this, the doubts on everyone's faces disappeared. Although there was still a little seriousness, but more, it was an uncontrollable throbbing and the excitement of being about to witness.

--finally.

After decades of swallowing their anger, the Han family finally made it to this day.

Finally, the day came to take revenge and settle accounts with the Huns.

And this day, not only the people present: the entire Han Dynasty, tens of millions of Han people, have waited too many years...
　Woke up at 13:14, and started to have diarrhea at [-]:[-], and nausea and retching at the same time, because I couldn’t vomit anything because I didn’t eat, so I could only vomit sticky water...

　　After going to the hospital to hang the water, it was already 19 o'clock when I came back, and the change was completed...

　　Continue to write the next chapter, strive not to guard against theft.

　　I really don't want to guard against theft...

　　It’s just that the body is like this, and there is really no leave of absence, and it costs a lot of money to be sick, so I dare not lose full attendance easily...

　　well··················
