Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 271 I... can't hold it any longer!
When Liu Yuan fell down, he fell directly to the ground. His entire face was extremely pale, and the blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen through the skin.

When Liu Cong and the eunuchs around him saw this, their faces changed wildly with fright, and they rushed over.

"Quickly send the doctor! Quickly! Quickly! Quickly!"

Liu Cong helped Liu Yuan up from the ground, and then yelled frantically.

Among the eunuchs nearby, one was caressing Liu Yuan's chest, while the other ran out of the palace in a panic to notify the imperial doctor.

The whole dormitory suddenly became a mess.

Jin Zhun was even more frightened by this scene, and collapsed on the ground.

Liu Yuan gasped for breath, and blood gradually appeared on his pale face, but his eyes also turned faintly red, which made Liu Cong feel frightened.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, but Liu Yuan said tremblingly: "If I hadn't sent them away, how could it have been like this? I was the one who harmed them!" His voice was a little breathless. He was frustrated, and his words were even more intermittent. There was strong self-blame and regret in his words, and his voice became quieter as he went back.

After hearing these words, Liu Cong secretly thought something was wrong. He looked at Liu Yuan's face again, only to see that his eyes had turned up, his face was purple, and he was no longer breathing.

"Father! Father!" Liu Cong couldn't figure out what this meant, so he immediately became anxious, "Hold on, the imperial doctor will be here soon."

It's a pity that some things are beyond human control. As Liu Cong's anxious voice almost trembled, Liu Yuan became weaker and weaker. It could be seen that he also knew that he had to hold on and was eager to survive, so he tried his best Clenching fists and struggling.

Liu Cong noticed this detail, and suddenly hope was born in his heart, so he wanted to use his own words to call back his father's desire to survive, so he changed the subject: "Father! You must hold on, if you can't hold on, son The prestige of the minister is not enough, how can he secure his position? For the two newly promoted kings with the same surname, only the father can suppress them, and if they are replaced by son ministers, how can they have the prestige to cut their power?"

When Liu Yuan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, his heart became anxious, and his whole body trembled.

Liu Cong saw it and thought it was effective, and said to himself: "Father! There are also those Han officials. Nowadays, the trend of suppressing and discriminating against Han officials is gradually rising. If you, Father, can't advocate this trend, how can I change it? Father, you You must hold on!"

It's okay that he didn't say this. When he said this, Liu Yuan became anxious, thinking that if he died now, the previous plan would be like shooting himself in the foot. He was really unjust.

If he died, it couldn't be described by a self-defeating word.

"me……"

Liu Yuan struggled hard, and all the consequences flashed through his mind, making his mind suddenly clearer.

If he dies, it will be very difficult for the royal power of several tribes to disappear, and it will be very difficult for them to lose their tail, which will put constraints on the royal power!

If it is dead, those who despise and oppress the Han officials and resist the teachings of the saints will be difficult to check and suppress, causing the Huns to return to tribal thinking, making it difficult to convince the Han people, and unable to truly rule the Han people, so what is the point of taking more land? !
If he dies, the surging vitality brought by the great victory will be in vain. Without the backbone, plus the previous two, combined with the tradition of the Xiongnu, I am afraid that it will fall into internal strife and internal strife!
But this emotional train of thought brought Liu Yuan deep anxiety and worry, as well as fear for the future. This emotion made his blood flow faster, and his whole person fell into an extremely strong emotional fluctuation.

Liu Cong quickly leaned down and whispered: "Father, what do you want to say?"

"I...can't stand it anymore..."

finally……

Furious, the Hun king rolled his eyes and became completely silent.

Outside the palace, there was a rustling sound at this time, and two older scholars and two strangely dressed wizards came over at the same time. However, when they saw this scene in front of them, these people were stunned. .

There was an eerie silence in the bedroom.

After a long time, Liu Cong waved his hands, raised his head, and asked blankly: "Who is that Chen Zhi?"

………………

"Who is this Chen Zhi? How dare he kill the Hun prince? Who gave him such courage?!"

In Luoyang, the imperial capital of the new Han Dynasty, hundreds of officials gathered in the court hall.

Today's sage Liu Dai sat on the dragon chair, listening to a minister below reprimanding Chen Zhi who was far away, frowned, and wanted to speak, but he had been emperor for so long, and he already had some experience, so he was very angry. Hold back, waiting for the officials to start their performance.Of course Liu Dai knew who Chen Zhi was. The emperor admired the previous teacher's comment and even personally gave the evaluation of the township. Even so, he was still given a position at the end of the top grade, third grade.

Not only did Emperor Liu Dai know about Chen Zhi, but the minister who was reprimanding him also knew Chen Zhi's name.

In the eyes of those who follow the path of a teacher, an autobiography is an inheritance of the teacher's way. However, when the autobiography reached the upper court, some of the sentences in it took on political significance. Several major factions knew Chen Zhi's name, but Most of them were only discussed in private. It has never been discussed directly in court like today.

The person who is discussing is Zhao Min, the minister of Dahonglu. He is ranked in the third rank with a rank of two thousand stones. He is in charge of the princes and the returned barbarians from all over the world, and is also in charge of the royal education of the barbarians.

Last night, the news about the Hun Prince had already arrived and fell into the hands of the princes of the court.

Originally, many people in the court were arguing endlessly about the war with the Xiongnu, and it was difficult to decide between war and peace.

This involves the interests of all parties. Some of the main combatants requested the continuation of the war due to various considerations and a sense of honor for Xinhan, while other ministers also proposed a ceasefire based on interests and a combination of many factors.

Dahonglu Zhao Min was leaning towards a truce, so after hearing the news about Liu Yunyan, he was immediately shocked and raised the issue during this morning meeting.

Anyone with a clear eye can see that this person intends to use this as an excuse to push for a truce between the imperial court and the Huns.

"Zhao Honglu, I also know the situation at that time. The Hun prince resisted the king's order, fled with his troops, and killed many officers, soldiers and people. He was guilty to begin with. What's more, he was the one who made the first move, trying to hurt people with a knife, but Chen Zhi But he was superior in skills, so he killed him in reverse. In this case, it was a dignified revenge. How could the court convict him?"

Suddenly, Guang Luxun Wang Li, who was also ranked third, came forward to refute. After he finished speaking, he said directly: "I know Da Honglu's idea, which is just to want the imperial court to withdraw its troops, but in today's situation, it is difficult to withdraw troops rashly. Maybe we will lose all the land east of the river, can you shoulder this responsibility?"

Zhao Min frowned, and said, "A truce is not an admission of defeat. How many troops does the Hun have? It's just that he defended himself as a last resort. As long as the imperial court sends someone to appease him, I think Liu Yuan will definitely come forward to plead guilty."

"A joke! This is a concession!" Wang Li sneered, "The imperial court is newly defeated, and now we are sending people over. The Xiongnu are barbarians who don't know etiquette. They don't know how to advance or retreat. It's because the imperial court is afraid of them, so they will inevitably make some unreasonable suggestions. Do you think you have to give in at that time?"

Zhao Min immediately responded tit for tat: "Oh? Listening to the tone of the prince, does it mean that there is a good strategy to control the barbarians? If not, what is the point of wasting money and military pay now? Do you know how much food this army will cost the court in one day? How many states are there this spring? The disaster is a time of shortage of money and food, so how can one lose a big thing because of a small thing?"

"That's wrong!" Zhao Qi, the Minister of the Fifth Army, spoke out, "The Huns' matter is not a trivial matter. The Huns occupied a part of Bingzhou and then scattered and harassed them. The entire northern border was not at peace, and the refugees did not know how many people there were. How could they take it lightly? For today’s plan…”

Seeing that many ministers were talking and talking about the war in northern Xinjiang, the emperor frowned. Although he was still talking about Chen Zhi, he knew that this matter was the key. Regarding the matter of the Huns, Liu Dai was unhappy and inclined to use troops, but he could not stand the repeated arguments among the ministers and could not express his position directly, otherwise the conflict would immediately fall on him.

After being the emperor for a period of time, he still has this experience. It is not flattering to express less opinions, watch more dramas, and be a referee at critical moments.

After the quarrels below were almost over and the court meeting was about to end, Liu Dai planned how to have fun after the court meeting. Unexpectedly, after the ministers quarreled for a while, Dahonglu and Zhao Min actually came back. , stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for your instructions on how to deal with Chen Zhi's matter. I feel that this matter cannot be ignored. It is better to summon him to the capital and ask him clearly. If the Xiongnu pursues the case, it would be better to have an explanation."

As soon as he said this, Liu Dai immediately became dissatisfied. He frowned and said, "When will I, Yan Han, have to take my own people out and give an explanation?" After saying that, he stood up directly, fluttered his sleeves and left, leaving behind The ministers looked at each other in confusion.

They really didn't understand why the Emperor suddenly got angry, but they were not surprised when they thought about the many incidents in the past.

As soon as the emperor left, the court gatherings would naturally break up, and no one would feel embarrassed. Since the Xuanwu Dynasty, the etiquette of court gatherings has been on a trend of collapse, which has not yet been completely reversed.

But the ministers also knew that no problem could be solved in one court meeting, but there would eventually be a definite conclusion.

Da Honglu raised Chen Zhi's question. After two or three discussions on this question, there must be a result. After all, it involves the issue of peace and war with the Huns, which is something that cannot be delayed.

In the midst of all these considerations, the ministers gathered together in twos and threes, walked out, and discussed in low voices at the same time.

Many people gathered around Wang Li, discussing a question about Chen Zhi that suddenly came up.

"Chen Zhi's issue is a breakthrough for war and peace. The factions who want to advocate peace will not miss this opportunity. But the embarrassing thing about this matter is that the servant is tending to He has stopped fighting, but this Chen Zhi happens to be from his Chen family."

Wang Li said, his eyes fell on a person not far away, with an expression that was half-smiling.

"I don't know how Chen Yong should choose, whether to destroy relatives for justice, or to protect each other."
