Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 100 I got promoted 【Please order and request tickets】

The front hall of Weiyang Palace, early dynasty.

Before the sky was fully lit, the courtiers walked in one by one, divided into two rows of civil and military.

The emperor sits north and faces south, the ministers face north and face the emperor, the civil servants stand east, and the generals stand west.

That is to say, civil servants are on the left hand side of the emperor, and generals are on the right hand side.

Historically, before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a strong centralization of power had not been completed. Officials who went to court were eligible to attend, at least the three princes.

But the current Han Dynasty has completed the reform of courts early, and all courtiers need to stand upright, uniformly wear civil and military uniforms, and only the emperor sits in the hall.

This kind of change, don't ask, it was changed by Emperor Shihuang.

At this time, the courtiers first entered the front hall and waited. The civil servants were headed by Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, Yu Shifan, Taichang Zhouping, and Da Xingling Li Xi. There were more than a hundred people, each in charge of different affairs.

The generals are headed by General Wei Qing.

The figure next to Wei Qing, the officials of the government and the public, regardless of martial arts, almost subconsciously glanced in his direction when they entered the palace.

At the age of 17, he stood in the second position of generals, temporarily acting as Lang Zhongling, and in charge of the Chang'an Guard Army.

Everyone knows how prominent this position is.

It can be said that the safety of the heart of the big man is entirely in the hands of this young man.

The feeling in the hearts of many ministers is indescribable.

From the corridor at the back of the main hall, there was the sound of steady footsteps, and Liu Che, dressed in imperial robes, came out from behind.

At the same time, the ministers gave the emperor Jishou a ceremony, and the word "worship" in later generations came from this.

"I have something to play!" Dong Xu's shrill voice sounded.

Huo Qubing's face remained calm, but his spirits were actually slightly revived, waiting to start watching the performance of the officials.

The group of courtiers represents the voices of all walks of life, and at the same time, represents their respective interest groups.

At the court meeting, the officials spoke out, covering the entire Han territory, including agriculture, animal husbandry, water conservancy, military affairs, taxation and so on.

"Your Majesty, there has been no rain in June so far in Longxi County. I pray that the court will send the Yin Yang family to sort out the sky and rain for a good harvest."

Every year in Dahan, the yin and yang families set up arrays to gather clouds to form rain, which can make the wind and rain flow smoothly everywhere.

"Your Majesty, Nanhai County's investigation of corrupt officials has already implicated the head of the county government. The evidence is convincing. Your Majesty should make a decision."

Yu Shifan came out and said: "In addition, Taixue has a doctor of the Five Classics, please order to increase the number of people, open schools widely, and implement them in all counties."

The Da Nong Order in Jiuqing, which was inherited from the Qin Dynasty, was in charge of the country's finances and taxes. An old man with a handsome appearance also came out and said:

"Recently, salt, iron, and printing money have all fluctuated, which are significantly higher than last two months..."

"The minister also announced that the dam along the Huaihe River needs to be repaired and strengthened to prevent flooding..."

The civil servants started to play one by one, mentioning various matters, which would imperceptibly make the generals appear, and there would not be enough "central finance" to distribute, unknowingly inhibiting the growth of military equipment.

This is the court meeting. It seems that various things are being played, but in fact it is hidden, and some intentions are quietly unfolding.

If the emperor can't gain insight into the truth, he will also be swayed by these ministers invisibly.

During this period of time, the border was restless, and all the ministers knew that the court meeting was more disciplined and restrained.

If it is in normal times, it will be much more exciting than now, and there are many secret methods.

"Your Majesty, the various ministries are in urgent need of expenses at present. There are a lot of reserves left over from the previous Dingxiangbei battle, which can be collected into the national treasury and distributed separately to make full use of the expenses." Da Nong Ling continued.

Liu Che avoided answering, and turned to look at Huo Qubing: "I heard that Beiguan was attacked by Huns last night when I got up this morning?"

Liu Che had already received a copy of the news Huo Qubing received.

It was a tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers that he asked Huo Qubing to speak out to match his intention.

"A [-]-man team from the Xiongnu made a surprise attack on Yuyang last night, at the junction of the two counties of Shanggu, and was lured into the empty city by Beiguan's general Yong Yong, and killed them all." Huo Qubing said.

The whole court fell silent immediately, but the ears of the officials quietly pricked up, listening carefully.

"How much is the enemy wiped out, and how much is our army lost?"

"The Xiongnu were lured into the city. Our army lined up at the head of the city and defended with shields in front. The crossbowmen fired in turn and wiped out all the incoming Huns. The leader was also killed on the spot. We lost 370 people in the battle. , most of them were injured by arrows shot through the gaps in the shield array, and at the end of entering the city to clean up..."

There was a silence in the hall at first, and then there was an uproar.

More than [-] enemies were killed, and less than [-] losses were lost?
Was this completed overnight at Beiguan? !

"Is there such a disparity in losses between the enemy and ourselves?"

Zhou Ping frowned slightly: "Is this figure only counted by the Beiguan defense soldiers themselves, or is it a joint effort by all ministries? Champion Hou has received several summaries of figures, and can they all be consistent?"

The comparison of the number of battle losses between the enemy and ourselves is astonishing, not only Zhou Ping, but also most of the other civil servants were astonished and unbelievable.

"Taichang's subordinates, Ting Wei, Da Nong Ling, and Shaofu's subordinates will receive the confirmed battle damage figures this morning, and all ministries will jointly count them at Beiguan." Huo Qubing said calmly.

Each ministry has officials who are responsible for recording meritorious deeds in Beiguan. Because expenditures are involved, they are supervised at every level.

"Who is in command of this battle?" Gong Sunhong looked at Huo Qubing with piercing eyes.

"The commander before the battle is Lieutenant Zhang Cigong of the Northern Army."

Huo Qubing didn't explain the details, Liu Che naturally knew, but the officials were surprised that it was Zhang Cigong.

This lieutenant of the Northern Army made such great feats overnight!
In front of the officials, Liu Che and Huo Qubing mentioned that the Xiongnu came to invade the border again, paving the way for the subsequent attack on the Xiongnu.

Because the border often has to deal with the threat of the Huns, armaments and other items will remain at the border to be prepared.

Wei Qing also understood the reason, and smiled secretly.

Some people in later generations said that Liu Che was too poor and extravagant to use up his country's power, which was a prodigal act, and the emperor was very ordinary.

In fact, Han was very rich at that time, which was equivalent to a piece of fat meat, which was sure to be coveted by others. As a fat meat, he had no ability to protect himself. It was the sadness of fat meat, which could only wait to be eaten.

Suppose the emperor doesn't attack the Xiongnu, so they won't come to beat you?
The Xiongnu will only push forward.

So we had to fight, and since we wanted to fight, we might as well fight to the death, because the Huns would be destroyed by the fight.

To fight against the Xiongnu, and even Siyi, it is better to take the initiative than to fight passively.

Of course, it is certain that Liu Che is warlike, but his historical status has long been determined.

After the meeting was over, the ministers were still discussing.

There is no doubt that today's court meeting, the battle of Beiguan is the core, and all kinds of court discussions of civil servants have been suppressed.

After the court meeting, Liu Che invited Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, and Li Cai to discuss matters in the study.

"Last night's battle, the champion Hou lined up his troops to annihilate the enemy. I am very relieved." In the study, Liu Che said after taking his seat.

When Li Cai first heard the results of the battle at the court meeting, he felt that there must be something hidden in it.

Zhang Cigong was a brave general, but he didn't have the ability to lure the Huns into the city and put himself in a desperate situation.

Li Cai glanced at Huo Qubing, his thoughts fluctuated, but what he thought of was his brother's military affairs... and he was far less talented than this son!
"Shi Jian's father, Shi Yong, died, and he was saddened by his father's death, and he is no longer suitable to be in charge of the Chang'an Guard Army.

Qu Bing, you have made many meritorious deeds recently, and I am going to issue an imperial edict today, ordering you to take over the post of Lang Zhongling. "

"I dare not occupy this high position. Your Majesty might as well choose General Li Guang to serve. He has served in the army for many years and is enough to convince everyone."

After Shi Jian, the Lang Zhongling in history, the next Lang Zhongling was Li Guang.

The next successor was Li Guang's son Li Gan.

Right now, because of Huo Qubing's performance and the help of the secret author, there is an undercurrent in Chang'an. A butterfly effect has obviously occurred in this matter, and the position of Lang Zhongling has been blown away from Li Guang.

Huo Qubing didn't want to be Lang Zhongling, he had his own considerations.

Lang Zhongling needs to sit in Chang'an to protect the emperor.

When you become a Lang Zhongling, you can't lead troops to attack at will, and you have to sit in the court every day to train the army.

This is one of them, and another hidden danger is that if he becomes Lang Zhongling, his uncle Wei Qing is a general.

The big man's external military power and the important task of protecting Chang'an internally will be taken over by their nephew and uncle.

Appointing Li Guang as Lang Zhongling can balance the forces in the army.In the long run, it would be better for Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

So Huo Qubing wanted to refuse, it was sincere words.

Liu Che said: "The post of Lang Zhongling is related to the inside and outside of Chang'an, and the safety of the clan. Let's take charge of it for a while."

The implication is that the author is currently in the dark, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and the emperor is worried about other people.

Huo Qubing thought to himself that he could only wait for the writer to be found out before resigning.

"I will appoint Li Gan as your deputy. In case of war, Li Gan stays in Chang'an, and you can still go to war."

It was almost noon when Huo Qubing left the study.

He returned to the command hall of the Chang'an Guards and began to deal with the affairs of the day.

In the afternoon, a small bamboo sword suddenly flew out of the window, and its power flowed.

This is actually a bamboo slip, but it was engraved with spells and incantations, and was pushed over by someone from the air.

Huo Qubing blinked and reached out to take it.

Princess Liu Qing has recently fallen in love with Fei Jian Chuan Shu, and often uses the method of pushing Jian Shu to communicate some things.

Huo Qubing took the flying bamboo slips in his hand, and looked at the content written on it.
