"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say" Above the main hall, Sima Fang raised his head and said in a deep voice.
"Sima Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Liu Xie glanced at Sima Fang lightly and nodded.
"This matter, because of the minister, how can the state treasury withdraw money and grain, please ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to bear all the expenses of pacifying the casualties and soldiers, and distribute it in the name of the imperial court."
Sima Fang said in a deep voice.
Liu Xie nodded, sighed and said: "Although it is an unintentional mistake, but the harm caused to my Han is real, Sima Aiqing can have this heart, and those soldiers of my generation thank Sima Aiqing, Fang Sheng." ” "The end will be."
Fang Sheng took a step forward and bowed.
"This matter is up to you, remember, this money and food is for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, I will never allow anyone to put their hands in it, no matter who it is, but if there are those who vainly try to use this money and food, you are allowed to cut it first and then play" At the end, Liu Xie's face flashed with a fierce color.
"Huh," Fang Sheng replied loudly.
"Sima Aiqing."
Liu Xie turned his head to look at Sima Fang, and said in a deep voice: "Even if this matter is unintentional, and you took the initiative to bear the cost of appeasing the casualties, you must know that this is not a punishment, it is your own volition." ” "The old minister understands that he doesn't dare to ask His Majesty for forgiveness."
Sima Fang bowed and said.
"Sima Fang mistakenly believed in the Huns, and caused trouble for the land of my Guanzhong, although it was not intentional, but it could not be punished, so he ordered you to be demoted by one level and fined for one year, you can be convinced."
Liu Xielang said.
"Your Majesty Xie forgives, the old minister admits punishment" Sima Fang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the cost of compensating the soldiers made him feel painful, but this matter can be revealed, for the Sima family, it is to avoid a catastrophe, you know, if the crime of fornicating with foreign enemies is really implemented, it will not be enough to kill the whole family, but it is definitely enough to make the Sima family fall.
"Your Majesty Shengming" is not only Sima Fang, Yang Biao and other old ministers can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they hear this, if this matter is punished too much, it will inevitably make many old ministers dissatisfied, if Your Majesty and the family class completely fall out at this time, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to the Han.
"The Huns have retreated, and Sima Aiqing's matter will be stopped, and no one is allowed to mention it again."
Liu Xie signaled Sima Fang to join the ranks, and first closed the coffin of this matter, not so much to listen to everyone, but to reassure everyone that he would not use this matter to criticize Sima's family again.
"But the Huns are barbaric, dare to violate my borders and slaughter my Han people, but this matter can't be settled like this."
Liu Xie knocked on the table and snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty."
Yang Biao stood up and bowed.
"Taifu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Liu Xie smiled.
"Yes."
Yang Biao nodded and bowed and said: "My Han has gone through several twists and turns, and now the treasury is empty, and the people's livelihood is withering. ” "Of course I know."
Liu Xie nodded, even if he wants to fight now, there is not so much money and food, don't look at the invasion of the Huns, Liu Xie can attack quickly, but if you want to go on an expedition to the Hetao, there is a straight road that can go straight to the Hetao, but the levy of grain and grass is heavy, not too much, 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the Hetao, you can levy the people in the Guanzhong area, at least now, Liu Xie does not have the confidence to fight the Huns, even if it is laid, the people's livelihood in the Guanzhong area will be abolished.
There are priorities, and if you rashly go on an expedition without even laying the foundation, it is definitely an act of looking for death, and Liu Xie will naturally not do this.
"Although I can't fight, but these Hun captives, I don't plan to help them raise them for nothing, Taifu."
"The minister is here."
"Draw up an edict and pass it to the Huns, help me condemn and condemn these barbarians, and by the way, let them offer enough cattle, sheep and horses in exchange for their people."
Liu Xie said coldly.
"Your Majesty wants to let go of these Hun barbarians" Yang Biao couldn't help frowning and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks, no, the Huns wolf heart, when my Han Dynasty was strong, the whole clan was attached, and now my Han Dynasty is weak, it will reveal the nature of jackals, if you let these Huns go back, when the Huns recover in the future, it will still pose a threat to my Han." ” The literati of this era are different from the later literati of the Song and Ming dynasties, they have a strong strength in their bones, and they are far from being as polite as later generations.
"That won't bring him back to his strength."
Liu Xie clasped his hands and sneered: "I only said that I would release people, but since these people dare to offend my Han Tianwei, if they are allowed to go back like this, where will my face be in the Han Tianwei" "That" Yang Biao looked at Liu Xie puzzled: "Your Majesty means" "Pass on my message, these Hun prisoners of war will be punished by the palace, remember not to kill people, I am still waiting to exchange them for some cattle and sheep."
Liu Xie said without being salty or light.
The so-called palace punishment, well, is the meaning of cutting off the balls, for men, even if the ancient eunuch profession paid well, not every man has the courage to lead the knife into a fast.
"Ugh" Above the main hall, there was the sound of gasping air from time to time.
The corners of Yang Biao's mouth twitched a few times, bowed back to the queue, and didn't say more, even if he was very dissatisfied with the Huns because of this incident, he was very dissatisfied, and he didn't have any resentment at the moment, but he didn't have any sympathy for those Huns.
"If you have no objections" Liu Xie looked at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and suddenly felt that it was a little inappropriate for these ministers to do this matter, so he turned his head to look at Wei Zhong on the side and said: "Wei Zhong, you will be responsible for the execution, remember, don't kill them, these people can still be used." ” "Huh" Wei Zhong's eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded and replied.
The ministers have no objections, after all, even if these people are put back, I am afraid that they will be abolished, after all, even if the wolf-like Huns become eunuchs, it is estimated that they will have to say goodbye to the battlefield in this life, it is difficult to imagine what kind of scenery it is for a group of eunuchs to gallop on the battlefield, and in this way, it can also deter the Huns, and the next time they come, it is estimated that this will have to be weighed in their hearts.
As for handing it over to Wei Zhong to deal with this matter, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it, they couldn't let a group of scholars deal with this kind of thing, spread it, and this face would be gone.
"Knock Knock Knock" Just when everyone thought that the matter of the Huns was over like this, a dull drum suddenly sounded in the palace, which made the hearts of everyone who were originally relaxed couldn't help but tighten.
"Your Majesty, it's the drum of grievances" Wei Zhong stepped forward and bowed.
Although the words were light, in the ears of the ministers, it was tantamount to a muffled thunder. t1706231537:
