Liu Xie smiled. "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. It's not the time to run amok in Mobei. When I have a chance in the future, I will lead a hundred thousand cavalry to run across Mobei, and then I will take you with me. I will record my great achievements along the way, and you will write the monument. Fu, surpassing Ban Mengjian's "Yanran Mountain Inscription"."

Cai Yan smiled slightly and raised his hand. "You have no jokes?"

Without thinking too much, Liu Xie raised his hand and gave Cai Yan three high-fives.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" After three crisp sounds, Cai Yan withdrew her hand and quietly tucked it in her arms.

The high-five with the emperor was a whim and not in etiquette, and she never thought that the emperor would really high-five her.Knowing each other for several months, this was the first time she had skin-to-skin contact with the emperor.

The emperor's hands were heavy, and her palms were numb.

"Does your hand hurt?" Liu Xie laughed.

Cai Yan hummed vaguely.

Liu Xie sighed lightly. "Ashamed, I'm not in a good mood recently, and I can't control the strength of my shots."

Cai Yan thought for a while, then turned to look at Liu Xie, his eyes full of worry. "Your Majesty is in a hurry to go to Meiji, is it because you want to kill people to vent your anger?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, but did not speak.

He had to admit that he was hit by Cai Yan, he really had this idea.

In Hedong, he held back his anger and wanted to kill countless times, but finally endured it.

Now that he wants to go to Meiji, it may not be because he is really eager to seek justice for Huchuquan, but it is more likely that he wants to kill someone.

Can't kill the ministers who are obedient and vicious, can't kill the rebellious Wei Gu and Fan Xian, and can't kill the rebellious Huns?

"Your Majesty, the lord can't provoke the army in anger, and the general can't attack in anger." Cai Yan reminded.

Liu Xie became a little annoyed and blushed.

"I do not have!"

Chapter 260

Cai Yan thought for a while, and blamed himself: "I guessed it. Your Majesty has the heart to turn barbarians into Xia, so how could he kill innocent people indiscriminately. Capital crime, capital crime."

Liu Xie looked at her, hesitant to speak.

Knowing that she was lying, she was still a little grateful.

Pretending to be a saint is too tiring, even if he is a human being in two lifetimes, he will inevitably lose control of his emotions.

However, there are either stubborn old ministers or pedantic people who stand and talk without back pain. They only have the teachings of the saints in their hearts, and they want to mold him into the saint king they imagined. No one cares about his emotions at all.

Liu Xie looked around and sighed.

"Ling Shi, what do you think of Mencius and Xunzi's views on human nature?"

Cai Yan turned to look at Liu Xie, not knowing why.

Liu Xie said: "To put it simply, do you believe that human nature is inherently good, or that human nature is inherently evil?"

Cai Yan raised his head, looked into the distance, and was silent for a long time. "Human nature is too complicated. I'm afraid it can't be explained by the words good and evil. I have limited reading and experience, so I don't have the ability to describe human nature."

She bowed slightly, and said again: "Steel is made from a hundred refinements, and jade is made from grinding. Throughout the ages, those who can achieve great achievements have gone through great tribulations. Therefore, Mencius said that a great responsibility is assigned to the people of Sri Lanka. I hope that your majesty will never regret it, and always have a pure child." heart of."

Liu Xie twisted his neck. "Can Lingshi do it?"

Cai Yan sighed. "I can't, but your majesty must be able to."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty can't, but you're just bareheaded, grabbing the ground with your head, and gnawing your claws to hate yourself. Your Majesty can't, blood will flow for thousands of miles, and millions of corpses will be buried. The world is prone to chaos and security. Killing is like fighting a fire with a salary. It may be able to succeed for a while, but there will be endless troubles in the future."

Liu Xie shrugged, a little helpless. "You are right. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. If the fire is too hot, it will be muddled. Everyone understands the truth, but who can be rational all the time? Moss said that it is a way to keep human beings rational forever. Extravagant."

Cai Yan frowned. "Moss... who is it?"

"Uh..." Liu Xie tapped his forehead with a curved finger.In a moment of ecstasy, he said that he slipped the tongue. "forget."

Cai Yan looked puzzled, but didn't say anything more.

-

After marching for two days, Liu Xie arrived in Pingyang.

Pingyang has a long history, known as the capital of Yao, and is the earliest location of China.

When the three families were divided into Jin Dynasty, Han took Pingyang as his capital.

Qin merged with the world, and Pingyang belonged to Hedong.

When the Han Dynasty destroyed Qin Dynasty, Cao Can, the founding hero, was granted the Marquis of Pingyang, passed on to the sixth generation and eliminated.

For Liu Xie, the person he is most familiar with in Pingyang is not the Marquis of Pingyang, or even Yao, who is known as the ancestor of Liu Han, but Wei Qing.

Wei Qing's hometown became a ranch for the Huns, which made him very resentful.

This is not only the sorrow of Wei Qing, but also the sorrow of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Confucianism, which advocates moral government, has become the dominant ideology. Scholars are devoted to pursuing the kingly way, but turn a blind eye to the threat at their elbows. I really don't know whether they are selectively blind or congenitally incompetent.

Liu Xie ordered the whole army to stop advancing, to form a formation outside the Huns' garrison, and then ordered Chu Quan to summon his troops to come down to see him.

Even though Hu Chuquan is not as sensitive as Cai Yan, he still feels that the emperor is in a bad mood and may have an attack at any time.

He didn't dare to take a step away, for fear that Liu Xie would be playing tricks behind his back, and someone would rush back to the camp with a gold medal that could represent him, and summon the left and right kings and other subordinates to meet him.He himself stayed by Liu Xie's side and never left him.

Dahonglu Yang Biao came to see him in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, why are you fighting in formation?"

Liu Xie shook his horsewhip, and said unhurriedly: "Da Honglu doesn't need to worry too much, just be prepared."

Yang Biao heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "Here is Shan Yu, his loyalty can be learned from, how can his subordinates have different opinions? It is good for His Majesty to be more cautious, but the movement is too large, I am afraid it will cause misunderstanding."

"Otherwise." Liu Xie said: "The Huns do not abide by propriety and righteousness, and respect the strong. When Shan Yu is young, it is inevitable that some ministers will have different ideas."

Yang Biao frowned, why did the emperor seem to be referring to something?

He took a careful look at Liu Xie, but couldn't tell whether Liu Xie had other intentions.

Liu Xie looked at the mountains in the distance with a determined expression.

"Furthermore, the majesty of the imperial court has been swept away for a long time, and the Huns often despise the imperial court. If they cannot be deterred, how can they be driven into eagles and dogs? The lessons of Xianbei should not be forgotten, and Dahonglu should pay attention to it."

Yang Biao was slightly startled, and then he understood what the emperor meant, and he felt emotional.

The lesson of Xianbei mentioned by the Son of Heaven should refer to the story that Emperor Xiaohuan wanted to make peace with the people and befriend Tan Shihuai, the king of Xianbei, but was rejected by Tan Shihuai.

Speaking of it, it was really a major blow to the hundreds of years of peace talks.

If there is no force to back it up, even if you want to get married, you can't get it.

The Son of Heaven's personal conquest this time is to show his prestige, deter the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, and gain a respite for the revival of the imperial court.

The risk is great, but the courage is commendable, and there is also the helplessness of having to do it, so it has won the support of many ministers.

Although there are not small differences in the specific implementation.

"Your Majesty has far-reaching thoughts, and I am ashamed of myself."

Liu Xie raised his eyelids lightly, and motioned for Huben to bring a pony for Yang Biao.

Yang Biao is tall and has a big beard. Standing in front of him feels too oppressive. It is much better to squat on the pony.

Looking at Xiao Maza, Yang Biao frowned.

He was not used to this kind of sitting posture, but the emperor gave him a seat, so he couldn't help but sit.

Thank you for your kindness, put your hands on the hem of your clothes, and sit down properly.It's not like putting your hands on your knees, and it's not like putting your hands on your knees. The majesty is gone, but it's a bit funny.

"Aren't you used to it?" Liu Xie asked with concern.

Yang Biao sighed, "Your Majesty, this minister is indeed not suitable."

"I think so too." Liu Xie followed suit and said, "Why don't you go with me this time, just have De Zu to go with you."

Yang Biao was silent.

Of course they are worried that the emperor wants to go alone without letting the officials follow.But coming from Anyi these days, they also realized a very real problem, the emperor was young and could ride a horse every day, but these veterans couldn't adapt to the long-distance trek on horseback.

The best way to fight the Huns is to ride against each other, and riding a car is definitely not suitable.

He can ride horses for short distances, but not for continuous galloping.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself. As a big scorpion, I can't go on an expedition with Your Majesty."

"Old ministers plan the court, and young men fight on the battlefield. Why should you be ashamed when you show your strengths?" Liu Xie stretched out his hand to pat Yang Biao's knee to express his comfort. "Da Honglu lived in Taiyuan for a few days, and it happened to discuss the future of the great man with the princes. If you want to practice the kingly way, Xun Yu and Pei Mao are not enough. It is necessary to work together and unite as one."

Yang Biao nodded slightly. "Since His Majesty has made up his mind, I don't need to say anything. I should serve Your Majesty as a dog's son. I just hope that Your Majesty will keep his oath and limit it to the Great Wall. Keep your eyes open and don't seek success for a while."

Liu Xie was a little moved.

Yang Biao is over fifty years old and has only one son, Yang Xiu.By letting Yang Xiu accompany him, it was tantamount to betting on the most precious bargaining chip.

"Duke Yang will not fail the big man, and the big man will never fail Yang Gong."

Chapter 261 For My Use

Yang Biao got up and bowed deeply, his eyes were a little moist.

"Hearing His Majesty's words, even if I die at this moment, I can still smile at Jiuquan, worthy of the late emperor and Yang's ancestors."

Liu Xie also stood up, took Yang Biao's hand, and said a thousand words, which turned into a sigh.

Yang Biao and others have had a hard time during the past few days when he was depressed.

Just as he was thinking about what to say in response to Yang Biao, Yang Biao suddenly turned around and walked into the distance, his eyes became sharp the moment he turned around.

Liu Xie looked in his direction, and at a glance saw dozens of galloping horses coming, all of them were Huns with felt hats on their heads.

Yang Biao cupped his hands and stood still at a dozen steps, his body straight as loose.

The Huns ran a hundred paces away, got off their horses one after another, walked quickly to Yang Biao, and stopped.

They looked at Yang Biao, momentarily at a loss, wondering why this tall old man blocked his way, and he looked unhappy.

Hu Chuquan hurried over. "Don't be rude, this is Yang Gong, Da Honglu, His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."

Those Huns were at a loss and still didn't quite understand.

Hu Chuquan was a little angry, feeling that the group of subordinates in front of him were too stupid.I've made it so clear, why are you still poking at me like a piece of wood, don't you know that Mr. Yang is not easy to mess with?

With a smile on his face, he confessed to Yang Biao, pulled several subordinates aside, and whispered in the Hun language: "What's going on with you? Didn't you see the army of the Emperor Han? If there is a fight, Can you stop it?"

Youxian King Qubei was the most astute, and asked, "Shanyu, what's going on? Didn't His Majesty the Emperor want to help us put down the rebellion and send us back to Meiji? Why did you line up to fight? I'm ready to welcome you, just look at this..."

"That's His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, do you think it's just any general?" Hu Chuquan scolded angrily, "Even if it's His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, even if it's Da Honglu Yang Gong, he can't afford to offend him. You know Who is he? He is the Hongnong Yang family of four generations and three generations, the most famous celebrity in the Han Dynasty..."

"So it's the Yang family of Hongnong." Several Huns looked at each other, their faces changing slightly.

Even if they are not familiar with the court of the Great Han Dynasty, they have heard of families such as the Hongnong Yang family and the Runan Yuan family.

"Shan Yu, what kind of official is Da Honglu?"

"Yeah, why did he stop us? Is it a bribe?"

"What kind of bribe do you want?" Hu Chuquan was more irritable than ever.He felt that what his master Zhang Xi said was right, these people were barbarians, ignorant and ignorant, and Da Honglu didn't know what kind of official he was. "The emperor is here, and you don't come out to greet him. It's not in line with etiquette. How can Da Honglu not be angry? He is a high-ranking official in charge of our state affairs."

The Huns looked at each other and felt that Huchuquan was a little abnormal.

It's nothing more than wearing Han Chinese clothes, and the tone of speech is also weird.

Be humble and calm. I remember that when I was with Fuluo Yique, I was looking for the Dahonglu Temple.Logically speaking, when the Son of Heaven came, they should indeed come out to greet him. It would be rude not to come, and Da Honglu, who was in charge of this matter, was justifiably angry.

He led the crowd and went forward to salute.

Hu Chuquan acted as an interpreter and introduced everyone to Yang Biao.

After Hu Chuquan's introduction, Yang Biao still couldn't see a smile on his face. "At the request of Shan Yu, the emperor personally led the army to suppress the rebellion, and sent you back to your hometown. Why didn't you come to greet him? Did you despise the emperor, or bullied Shan Yu when he was young, and had a different heart?"

Hu Chuquan didn't necessarily have such an idea at first, but after hearing Yang Biao's words, he didn't feel sorry for him, and felt that these subordinates were too presumptuous.

Do they just hope that the emperor will be angry and kill him so that they can establish another Shanyu?

After all, how to establish an order, the internal struggle has never ceased.Even those who supported them at the beginning may have changed their minds after a few years of hardship.

Yu Fuluo's son Aiken is the Zuoxian King in the tribe, and he also has many potential supporters.

The more Hu Chuquan thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
