Han Shizu

Chapter 299
In the evening, the sky gets dark especially fast, and the boundless twilight is like a giant beast, opening its bloody mouth, swallowing up the not so bright light between the sky and the earth.

The obvious coldness made people feel quite uncomfortable, and the servants serving in the temple added charcoal fire in an orderly manner.

Liu Chengyou couldn't bear the turbid stagnant air, so he ordered people to open the doors and windows to breathe. The cold wind rushing in from outside immediately suppressed the rising temperature inside the hall.

Standing at the window, blowing a little cool breeze, Zhang Dejun took a fur robe very courteously: "Officials, it's cold, don't catch cold."

Liu Chengyou didn't try to be brave, took the drape over his body, stopped for a few breaths, then turned back to the hall, warmed himself by the fire, and casually greeted Wang Pu who was in front of his majesty: "Qiwu, what can you do for Dingnanjun?" What do you think? Zhegong is very afraid of this party force!"

Previously, Wang Pu had been waiting by the side. Although he didn't speak, he listened to the conversation between the two.Hearing the question at this time, he raised his hand and said, "I don't know much about the Dingnan army, so I dare not make rash comments. However, Zhegong's words are not alarmist!"

Liu Chengyou is very satisfied with Wang Pu's rigorous attitude, no wonder he has a history.Wang Pu was spotted by Jia Wei, who was editing history at the History Museum, and recently he was often called to assist in the compilation of "Records of Gaozu". Liu Chengyou did not stop such demonstrations of his talents, but encouraged them.

"Your Majesty, as Zhe Gong said, since Li Sigong started, the strength of the Dingnan Army has been increasing continuously for decades. According to the land of Hetao, it occupies several states in Xiasui and has tens of thousands of troops. The control of the party clans is also strengthening."

Under the gaze of Liu Chengyou, Wang Pu simply stated his opinion: "In my opinion, the growth of the Dingnan Army is not conducive to the stability of the northwestern border of the Han Dynasty. The Dingnan army really has no way to suppress and restrain it. Dingnan Jiedu Li Yiyin has been in charge of Xia Sui for fourteen years, if the other generation has unstoppable ambitions, they can pull up flags at any time to create chaos and break away from the rule of the great Han."

"This is exactly the problem for me. Xiazhou, after all, is not the other feudal towns under the rule of the great Han. When I leveled the river, Li Yiyin led the soldiers of Xiazhou to make moves!" Liu Chengyou's hand was still on the charcoal fire, and the fire blew him away. His hands were flushed red, and the enthusiasm couldn't dispel his worries: "At that time, if I hadn't quickly flattened the river and frightened the group, Guan You might have changed Tuosheng drastically!"

Hearing this, Wang Pu was a little surprised: "According to what I heard, didn't the Dingnan Army and the Yanzhou Army clash at that time?"

Liu Chengyou directly gave Wang Pu a look full of deep meaning: "With Wang Qing's spiritual vision, can you not see through this superficial appearance?"

Wang Pu couldn't help showing a humble smile.

Smiling slightly, Wang Pu carefully glanced at Liu Chengyou's side face, hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, with Xiazhou's strength, it is not worth mentioning compared with the big man, but if it is true On the contrary, the imperial court is also powerless to control it. The most important thing for the great Han now is to eliminate the soldiers and stop the war, and to govern and support the people. Even if the country goes through this difficult period, the imperial court should focus on fighting against Khitan and flattening the other countries."

Observing the emperor's expression, seeing that he was still listening, he just didn't move his expression, took a deep breath, and said in a persuasive tone: "Your Majesty has a deep vision and a far-sighted vision, but it is difficult to worry about it. Worry, it's not an urgent matter at the moment!"

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to tell the priority?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"I don't mean that." Wang Pu hurriedly said.

"Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not planning for a region!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand at him and said, "It's just an interview with Mr. Zhe, and the topic has caught up. How can I change the established strategic and national policy lightly."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"In your opinion, how should I deal with this doomed army?" Liu Chengyou sat back at the imperial case and asked leisurely: "I clearly remember that when the Uyghurs paid tribute, that generation even took the tribute horse! To the big man The imperial court, how did the other generation pay attention to it?"

"Your Majesty should be more appeased, more officials, and nobility, so as to ensure the peace of the western frontier!" Wang Pu said in a solemn voice, his expression seemed extraordinarily dignified when he said these words.

Liu Chengyou said: "I have already done these things!"

Wang Pu's voice was extremely low: "Your Majesty, if necessary, Li Yiyin has not yet been crowned king"

The calm eyes became sharp in an instant, Liu Chengyou stared at Wang Pu: "Your proposal is really big!"

Wang Pu also reported very solemnly: "I just feel that if the Northwest is stable, a little false name is not enough to be sympathetic to!"

But Liu Chengyou said very seriously: "I'm afraid that he will turn the fiction into reality!"

Seeing Liu Chengyou like this, he seemed a little sensitive about the matter of becoming a king.Of course, that's all. When it's really important, let alone the throne, temporarily confer the entire Hetao and even the Hexi Corridor to Li Yiyin, he can do it all.

Speaking of which, everyone is scolding Emperor Shi Jingtang'er for ceding land and betraying the country.However, if he can stabilize the country in the follow-up actions, attack Khitan in the north, and regain Yanyun, I am afraid that it will be another inspirational story of "stomaching bravery" that has been sung throughout the ages.However, Shi Jingtang failed, and left behind a curse, destined to be infamous forever.

"The rift between Gao Yunquan and Xiazhou has become more and more serious, and they have used swords a few times. The imperial court supports Yanzhou and fights against it, so as to restrain the party members, how about it?" Liu Chengyou consulted Wang Pu on a whim.

The emotion in Liu Chengyou's eyes almost turned into reality. Seeing this, Wang Pu replied seriously without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if the imperial court moves too much, it may cause Xiazhou to become suspicious and alienate from the imperial court. If it is subject to the Khitan Winning over, leaning towards the northern captives, causing trouble on both sides"

"After all, I have to be threatened by him?" Liu Chengyou was slightly angry.In the final analysis, Liu Chengyou still has a lot of ideas in his heart.

Wang Pu was silent.After pondering for a while, he still responded cautiously: "In my opinion, as for the situation in the northwest border, just listen and observe."

"Let it go?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"If the conflict between Xiazhou and Yanzhou intensifies, resulting in a military incident, the imperial court should come forward to mediate!" Wang Pu said.

"Don't mention it!" Liu Chengyou shook his sleeves.

Facing the emperor who is different from usual, Wang Pu is unavoidably surprised.He was thinking about how to persuade the young emperor, when he heard that Liu Chengyou was silent for a while, he couldn't help but say: "If I can lead Xia Zhou to fight against Khitan, and use his strength to deal with Khitan, I may feel at ease! "

Mentioning this, Wang Pu's eyes also brightened slightly, and the two monarchs and ministers immediately entered into an in-depth discussion on this aspect, but they couldn't discuss the reason.In the final analysis, Dahan's national strength is insufficient, and he doesn't have much bargaining chip to take out.

As it got later, Liu Chengyou, to show his kindness to the king, left Wang Pu to have dinner with him. Afterwards, he let him go and gave Wang Pu a new task by the way.

Hand over "Chapter 81 of Zhixuan" given by Chen Tuan to Wang Pu, and ask him to translate it.
