0400 The first year of Xiping(2/2)
Wang Fu offended so many people, but he didn't care at all. He continued to be busy with the political affairs of the court, but he increased the number of his followers and guards.
The emperor also gave him more than thirty elite guards to follow and protect him.
At the end of the year, the ministers discussed the reign name and decided it to be Xiping.
Xi means heat, blazing, and bright.
Ping means peace, which means peace in the prosperous age.
The new year is the first year of Xiping, and Jianning is no longer here.
In the first year of Xiping, it was still a prosperous time. Even the five northern states were no longer hit by the cold winter. Under such a stable policy, the Han Dynasty experienced unprecedented prosperity, and many ministers boasted about this prosperous time.
In short, today's emperor's achievements are unparalleled and cannot be compared to Xiaokang's! Indeed, in the first year of Xiping, the national power of the Han Dynasty had exceeded that of Jianning's most powerful period.
There was peace both inside and outside, the people were prosperous, the treasury was sufficient, and the emperor had some leisure time.
And those disturbances gradually calmed down, and the people of the world still cursed Wang Fu, but the number of scholars blocking the door of Wang Fu's mansion gradually became less and less. Wang Fu was still safe and intact, and the vicious curses of the officials did not hurt him.
Among the hundreds of officials, the only one who has not stopped is the Han Dynasty Lieutenant Zhang Wen. He wants to destroy Goguryeo. These days, he is looking for allies everywhere.
Unfortunately, except for Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu who supported him, no one was willing to support his crusade against Goguryeo.
At the first court meeting in the first year of Xiping, Zhang Wen could no longer bear it and directly reported to the emperor, requesting the conquest of Goguryeo.
"Goguryeo has tens of thousands of strong soldiers and hundreds of powerful generals. The king is talented but not moral. If we arrange it in this way, I am afraid that we will become a powerful enemy of the Han Dynasty in the future!" Zhang Wen boasted about Goguryeo. In his mouth, Goguryeo is simply awesome.
Even the Xiongnu Xianbei in the past were a huge threat to the Han Dynasty. I don’t know if the Goguryeo people were happy or angry when they learned about it. In short, Zhang Wen said these words not in a day or two.
The officials are still opposed to this. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, why bother to attack Goguryeo?
Faced with the opposition of the ministers, Zhang Wen did not show frustration, but smiled strangely. It seemed that he had been prepared. Seeing Zhang Wen's abnormal performance today, except for the emperor, everyone else was a little confused.
, Zhang Wen had explained it to the emperor beforehand, so the emperor knew in his heart what he was going to do.
Alas, I originally didn’t want to use this person, but you have repeatedly objected. This is all your fault. Don’t blame me for being ruthless!
Zhang Wen cupped his hands and bowed: "I would like to invite someone to tell you the advantages and disadvantages of Goguryeo!"
"Who is it?" The emperor pretended not to know and asked in confusion.
A man walked out from the bottom of the official banquet. His appearance was slightly different from that of the Han people. He had a thick beard. He cupped his hands and looked at the ministers around him. He said, "I, Liu Dongyi, please pay my respects to you!"
When they saw this man, the expressions of Wang Fu, Cai Yong and other ministers changed drastically and they almost wanted to flee.
"Please speak!"
Dong Haojun wiped his tears and began to speak slowly.
"You don't know, but I was originally the king of Donghao, a close neighbor of Goguryeo. Goguryeo was just a beast, plundering Donghao and hunting its people. Oh, by the way, we Donghao produce salt, iron, and fish.
