Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 150 Li Huan: Who is the real hero?

After finishing speaking, Li Huan took out a booklet from his sleeve, and handed it to Liu Che with a smile.

Liu Che was very curious, and after opening it for a few glances, his face gradually showed a bit of seriousness.

After seeing the emperor's expression, everyone on the side was also surprised and uncertain. Even so, no one dared to make the slightest sound to disturb the emperor.

Emperor Liu Che's eyes seemed to have taken root on this thin book. Chuntuo stood quietly on one side, not daring to look away at all; Huo Qubing, Li Gan, Su Wu and others remained silent. Standing on the spot; the other guards were also guarding like javelins; only Li Huan, this guy saw that the grilled fish on the teppanyaki was about to burn, so he immediately turned around and started working...

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a Teppanyaki boss. He skillfully flipped and oiled the food, applied various condiments prepared in advance, and finally added a layer of minced garlic and presented it to Liu Che.

Liu Che smelled the strange aroma and subconsciously put down the thin booklet in his hand. He seemed to take a deep breath and looked at Li Huan.

"Is this the immature thing you mentioned before?" Liu Che asked.

Li Huan nodded, pushed the grilled fish forward in his hand, pointed to the diagram on the brochure and said: "Actually, there is a problem with the axis. I have never thought about this. Instead, this time I went north and fought with the Huns. After a fierce battle, when I was improving the trebuchet, I suddenly figured out some issues. After thinking about it after I came back, I succeeded!"

Liu Che drank the thin book and took a sip of the pungent garlic grilled fish. Perhaps he ate the stinky tofu, thinking that other weird things might not be delicious.

As a result, after taking this bite, Liu Che's eyes lit up again!
This taste...spicy and refreshing, stimulating the taste buds, criss-crossing the tip of the tongue...

"What is this?" Liu Che looked at the garlic bowl and wondered again.

"Reporting to your majesty, this is garlic. After chopped into puree, it can improve the taste of food. In addition, Weichen also added some other spicy things to blend it, so that the ordinary fish can burst out with something different. The taste comes."

Li Huan smiled, put another spoonful of minced garlic on Liu Che's stinky tofu.

Liu Che naturally satisfies his appetite first. After all, in this era, even an emperor can eat whatever he wants, but the taste is not necessarily delicious.

Not to mention, Li Huan lived in an era of technology and ruthless work. Various seasonings emerged in an endless stream, and people's taste buds were spoiled.

If not, Li Huan would be too lazy to cook himself to reward himself!

"It's strong in the nose, but it tastes really good after entering the mouth!" Liu Che smiled, and everyone watching from the side breathed a sigh of relief.

"But why have I never heard of this...garlic before?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this thing is only produced in the Western Regions. These things are the spoils captured from King Lou Fan in the battle of Lingzhou. I have already planted them, and I will definitely have a good harvest this year!"

Li Huan immediately blocked Liu Che's desire to hand over the spoils of war; after hearing this, Liu Che glanced at Li Huan feeling slightly depressed, but as soon as his eyes fell on the thin book, his whole body was immediately attracted by another person. Surrounded by a feeling of joy.

"Okay, now tell me, what do you think of South Vietnam and the Huns?"

Li Huan said: "The Xiongnu have gone through this battle, but their vitality has not been damaged. But for the Xiongnu, we have the Great Wall and the newly captured Henan land as a strategic buffer zone; and for the South Vietnamese who jump from time to time, Wei Chen I always feel like I’m being attacked from both sides.”

Liu Che ate the grilled fish, spit out a few thin thorns, looked at Li Huan with a squinted smile.

Li Huan coughed lightly: "So, why don't we destroy Nanyue first?"

"The reason is that simple?" Liu Che picked up the paper and wiped his mouth.

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Of course it's more than that... If there's any trouble over there in South Vietnam, there will always be some dog heads sticking out of the dog holes. If that's the case, why not kill a chicken to scare the monkeys?
Furthermore, Wei Chen also felt that in our campaign to conquer South Vietnam, we could ask the princes and kings in the south to hand over grain and grass to supply the needs of the army. "

"The princes and kings are all iron roosters who can't pull off their hair. How can it be so easy?" Liu Che took out a fish bone from his mouth, stared at the fish bone and said, "Let me tell you this, when I eat fish, I spit out the fish bones. They eat fish without spitting out any thorns. Things in South Vietnam will be dealt with later. If you don’t have any constructive opinions on the Xiongnu side, I won’t be bothered to bask in the sun with you.”

Li Huan glanced at the canopy that did not cover Liu Che's sun, and smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, the Huns are going to be in chaos. Let's wait. Maybe it will be the autumn harvest this year, or maybe next spring."

Liu Che finished eating the last piece of stinky tofu and glanced at Chuntuo with unfinished thoughts. This damn eunuch has so many hands and feet. Why did you throw them all into the stream?
"Or what you said before? There is a problem within the Xiongnu, and my army going north will make the Xiongnu put aside their internal conflicts and unite with the outside world?"

Liu Che wiped his mouth again, which made Li Huan feel like he was a bit mysophobic. Can't he wipe it together after eating?

Li Huan nodded and said: "Yes, so the problem of the Xiongnu is actually to a greater extent. We can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. No matter who becomes the winner on the Xiongnu side, the Xiongnu's own losses are certain. When the time comes, I will attack the army. Can’t we get a bargain?”

Liu Che stroked his beautifully trimmed beard and seemed to be thinking about Li Huan's words, but soon, Liu Che laughed: "This matter still needs to be discussed in court, let's hear the views of the officials... However, I am curious, you proposed Is there any good strategy for asking the princes and kings to provide military expenses for the southern expedition?"

Li Huan suddenly gave Liu Che a look.

Liu Che was made uncomfortable by this look. Just when he was about to say what you were saying, he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Back away."

Hearing this, everyone backed away without saying a word.

Li Huan looked at the people who had retreated to a distance and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, when Wei Chen proposed this strategy, he naturally thought of some countermeasures, but this method..."

"No matter what this method is, can I just listen to it?" Liu Che pointed at the grilled fish on the teppanyaki: "It's going to burn!"

Li Huan had no choice but to reincarnate as the Teppanyaki boss, cracking and cracking, and operating as fiercely as a tiger.

Liu Che looked at the sweat on Li Huan's face and couldn't help but joked: "You said that you, the majestic Marquis Anyang, always like to deal with the kitchen. What would Taishi Ling write about you?" "That's a high evaluation!" Li Huan He presented the fish to Liu Che and started to eat it himself: "He said, in ancient times, there was Yiyin, and I, the great man, had Anyang."

"Hahaha..." Liu Che laughed happily: "I don't know, this Taishi Ling is also a flatterer! Okay, let's talk while eating, so that Taishi Ling from far away will always think that I am mean to my ministers."

Li Huan took a sip of the sweet rice wine and then said: "Your Majesty, it is actually very simple to ask the princes and kings to pay, but the premise is that they cannot know the news in advance, otherwise they will definitely complain vigorously, and the court will naturally have no choice. Cut flesh from them."

Liu Che spat out the fish bones again and just looked at Li Huan. What do you mean, you tell me, or should I tell you for you?
Li Huan took another sip of rice wine and smiled with a mean face: "So, I thought of a way to show off my wealth!"

"Show off your wealth?" Liu Che was slightly puzzled.

Li Huan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, think about it, if you send someone to various vassal states to publicize the achievements of this battle in Henan, and this person suddenly shows off his wealth in the capital of a certain vassal king, this Will it cause the royal family to show off their wealth together?"

After Liu Che heard this, he looked at Li Huan with a ghostly look on his face: "Your method is worse than your stinky tofu!"

"Then there's nothing I can do. The King of Huainan asked Liu Ling to disgust the ministers like this, which makes me unhappy. Why can't I disgust him? Besides, the land of Huainan was originally a land that was not rich, and it served as a starting point for the imperial court's southern expedition. Isn’t money and food what it should be?”

Liu Che's smiling face was slightly thoughtful: "This is a good idea, but who do you think is the most suitable person to go?"

"Among the princes like me, who is the richest, who is closest to Your Majesty, and who is most obedient to Your Majesty, then let these people go!" Li Huan ate the crispy grilled fish with a look of pride on his face. color.

Liu Che also took a sip of the rice wine: "I always feel that there is something else you haven't said to me?"

Li Huan grabbed the fish bone from his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, it's not that Wei Chen is hiding something on purpose, but these words... Wei Chen always feels inappropriate."

"Oh? What's inappropriate?" Liu Che didn't care: "It's not guilty to speak out!"

"Your Majesty's eloquent words are in front of you, so the ministers will have nothing to say." Li Huan muttered: "Your Majesty, since the Embroidered Clothes Envoy is very easy to use, why not just set up an independent one who is independent of the officials and directly takes orders from the officials? His Majesty's privileged institution, kill first and report later, authorized by the imperial power.

In this case, not only the old nobles in the court cannot act like monsters, but also the princes and kings in various places must be obedient. "

Liu Che was surprised. He picked up the wine cup again and took a sip: "You are the first one who dares to tell me this."

"After going to the battlefield, Weichen realized how pleasant it is to be alive." Li Huan sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Moreover, I really like to stay at home and eat and drink. , but I also understand that only by getting rid of the Xiongnu, South Vietnam, and these bastards who don’t listen to your majesty, can I continue to go back to the days of eating, drinking, and having fun every day."

After hearing these words, Liu Che's expression was quite complicated; he seemed to have never thought that anyone would be so courageous, and he had never thought that there were such honest people in this world.

To tell you the truth, I actually want to be a person who eats, drinks, and plays around like this. But sitting in the position of emperor, I can't help but be so willful.

"The Embroidered Clothes Envoy became an independent institution?" Liu Che savored Li Huan's words.

Li Huan immediately said: "We have even thought about the name. Otherwise, we can call it Jinyiwei. This sounds much more domineering than the Embroidered Clothes Envoy. Moreover, since it was previously called the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, then we can re-create it specifically for them." How about calling the identified weapon the Xiuchundao?"

"Jinyiwei? Xiuchundao?" Liu Che showed more and more interest, especially the sentence "Prince's permission, kill first and then report". It seems that even the cruel officials can't compare, right?
Moreover, in Liu Che's mind, the cool official is a very useful knife, but any sharp knife will always hurt himself inadvertently...

But if there really could be such an institution like the Royal Guards, independent of the officials, only taking orders from oneself...

All the officials were horrified!
Are the ruling and opposition parties afraid?

Li Huan saw the smile of a sinister and domineering CEO on the corner of Liu Che's mouth...

So, he added: "Since it is a new organization, Weichen also thinks that we should redesign clothes that are more powerful and beautiful as a distinction? For example, design Feiyu clothes. In that case, Feiyu clothes and embroidered clothes should be redesigned." Hasn’t the spring knife become the unique symbol of Jinyiwei?”

This matter is indeed shocking to everyone in the imperial court and frightening the government and the public. But for people like Li Huan who only want to eat and die and have no intention of going against Liu Che, it really shouldn't be too satisfying. .

After all, he used to live in a world where some exaggerated companies had to install surveillance cameras even in the bathrooms, in the name of preventing employees from taking advantage of others...

Compared with this, Jin Yiwei is really a piece of cake.

"Not only that, Wei Chen even boldly imagined that when His Majesty sends envoys to various countries to show off his wealth, he can ask the embroidered envoys to secretly record the process of showing off their wealth; when these people are unwilling to pay, Then take out the matter of flaunting each other's wealth before and beat it, wouldn't this become the crime of deceiving the emperor?

After that, the Jin Yiwei was announced and stepped on the faces of the princes and kings. The military expenses of His Majesty's Southern Expedition were completely handed over to the princes and kings. His Majesty also strongly intimidated the princes and kings. This move can be said to kill three birds with one stone. bird! "

"You are the only one in the government and the public who can speak so frankly and openly!" Liu Che couldn't help but sigh: "You have already come up with such a perfect idea. I think, if you don't form this so-called Jinyiwei , I’m afraid I’m sorry for all your hard work!”

"Your Majesty is joking. The Jinyi Guards have huge power. The ministers are just making some concrete theoretical sublimation on the basis of the embroidered clothes envoys. However, this matter is very involved. Is it really possible to set up such a privilege that is independent of the officials? Institutions, Your Majesty really needs to think twice!"

Liu Cheyu finished eating and drank all the rice wine. He picked up the thin book and looked at the shameless Li Huan in front of him: "Finally, do you want to add that you did not come up with these strategies? "

Li Huan sighed greatly: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and your Majesty is the one who knows me!"

Liu Che stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead: "There is no need to report the affairs of the Lou Fan Department and the Aries Department. I will let someone build the thing you mentioned first and have a look. As for Liu Ling, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Li Huan opened his eyes wide: "Your Majesty doesn't want to grant a marriage again, does he?"
