"Bangbang."

"Master!"

After two "bangbang" sounds, Zhang Liao's voice sounded outside the door, but it was obviously a little deeper than before, as if he was worried that he would scare the doll in Dong Hu's arms.

"Come in."

Dong Hu opened his mouth, and the door sounded, and the thick curtain that blocked the cold wind swayed. Zhang Liao then walked into the room. He first held a fist with Dong Hu and the bitter kid lying on the bed and then delivered it with a letter.

"It was the news sent by Meiji Xiongnu."

Dong Hu didn't care much about the Meiji Xiongnu. For him, as long as the Xiongnu in the right part of Shangjun did not surrender to the Meiji Shanyuting, the Xiongnu people would be safe for the time being.

Kuwai had just given birth to a child and was still a little weak. Dong Hu walked to the bed and helped the woman who had suffered some injuries with one hand. He lowered his head and kissed his son who was almost exactly the same as when he was a child. Then he sent his son to Kuwai's arms.

After returning his son to his mother, Dong Hu walked to the desk not far away with the letter. Before he could sit down, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yu Fuluo accidentally killed Eunuch Gao?"

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, and then snorted coldly.

"There is no good thing for the eunuch, it's better if he dies!"

After Dong Hu put down the letter, he frowned and looked at Zhang Liao who was a little dissatisfied and angry, and smiled without comment.

"Everything has its pros and cons. It does not mean that greedy eunuchs have no value in existence, nor does it mean that honest and honest eunuchs should fill the court."

Zhang Liao couldn't help but be stunned. Zhang Liao, who was one year older, was only half a boy of sixteen or seventeen. He did not have much life experience. He could only judge the quality of things based on his instinct and other people's words.

Dong Hu loved Zhang Liao very much. Seeing that he was puzzled, he smiled and said, "When I was in Yingchuan County, we once said to Xiao Pangtong that there was no difference between good and bad officials, and said, "Officials only have pros and cons in their eyes."

Dong Hu frowned and said, "Learn from history, you can see the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. Looking through the past and past of the Han Dynasty, you can clearly see the cruelty of the power struggle."

"How many founding meritorious deeds did Taizu Liu Bang kill in his founding country? After that, Empress Lu killed many people from the Liu family? Then the Lu family was slaughtered..."

"Kill meritorious people, kill the relatives of the queen, kill the powerful and powerful..."

"Why?"

"Because the power of these people threatens the imperial power!"

Dong Hu looked at Zhang Liao who was thinking, and smiled and said, "Power needs to be restricted. General Liang Ji poisoned the qi emperor. Who restricted Liang Ji? General Dou Wu and Grand Tutor Chen Fan held a blade to attack the imperial palace. Who restricted them?"

"No one!"

"The civil and military officials in the court have no control over them, because there is no control over them, or... the people who restrict them have lost their voices and lost their supposed role, which has exposed the emperor to danger and made the emperor frightened all day long. I wonder if I can see the sun on the second day."

"Wen Yuan."

"If you are the emperor, the ministers below are full of loyalty and righteousness, but they shut up when danger comes. When you are most panicked, scared, and helpless, a group of eunuchs suddenly hold their swords and fight to the death to stand in front of you..."

"Think of the other side, will you regard eunuchs as trustworthy confidants? Will you let them act as part of the checks and balances of rights that have already lost their voices?"

Dong Hu looked at Zhang Liao who had lowered his head, bowed his body slightly, patted him on the shoulder, sat back on the chair and stool, looking down at the letter...

"Compared with some money, checks and balances of power are more important. Why? If there is a checks and balances of power, Wang Mang would not be able to usurp the Han Dynasty, nor would he cause wars in the world, he would not create countless people to be displaced, he would not create countless corpses and skeletons, and the general Liang Ji would not poison the qi emperor..."

"In the eyes of the emperor, checks and balances of power can stabilize the order of the court and suppress powerful ministers who threaten the emperor. Compared with the money that eunuchs are greedy for, the country is more important."

"The two major conditions that the empire can be stable: power and money. If Wenyuan, you serve as the Grand Secretary, you may know why the Han Dynasty sold official positions, because the Han Dynasty had no money! It's not that there is really no money, but that the money has fallen into the hands of the wealthy families of major aristocratic families."

"Of course, let's talk about these things, it's not that eunuchs are greedy and greedy, eunuchs also need rights constraints. Let's just tell you that anything can't just look at the surface."

"Existence means reasonable. There must be a reason for eunuchs to be in power. They cannot be completely denied because of some disadvantages. They need to clarify the pros and cons of it. Of course, the pros and cons of each person are different. The pros and cons of the emperor is the country, and the pros and cons of ministers may be the people of the world, or their own glory and wealth. As a superior, one must think clearly."

In order to avoid the sudden attack of the Huns, Dong Hu selected some people from the three counties of Hetao as spies, so that they could pay attention to the movements of the Meiji Huns, but he did not expect that Gao Wang would be sent to death...

Zhang Liao will find it difficult to digest Dong Hu's words for a while, and some of them need to be understood by themselves in future life experiences. When he saw Dong Hu shaking his head, he was a little curious.

"Lord, Mr. Gao's death must be due to some reasons. It is very likely that it is related to us. Do you want to be more focused on them?"

Dong Hu frowned slightly. As Zhang Liao said, Gao Wang was the envoy of Dongbuyicong, and the person of Dongbuyicong. Gao Wang went to Meiji Shanyu Court, which not only represented the court, but also represented Dongbuyicong, an envoy of the two armies. The two armies were not killed in battle. Is it good intention to kill Dongbuyicong's "General Secretary"?

The eunuchs were greedy and messed up the Han Dynasty and the people were living in trouble. That was only the Han Dynasty itself. The hardship shouldn’t be that the worse the eunuchs were, the more they were messed up the Han Dynasty, and would it be more beneficial to the Huns? When did the Huns become loyal ministers and slaves of the Han Dynasty?

There were only two things in the letter, one was that Qiang Qu's son Yu Fuluo accidentally killed Gao Wang, and the other was that Huangfu Song recruited five thousand Xiongnu Yi Conghu.

One thing may not be seen from one thing alone, but if the two things are linked together, it will appear less simple. Two envoys sent by the court, one inside and one outside, one eunuch who did not know martial arts died, and the other military general who should have been restrained and suppressed the Huns won five thousand righteousness.

No matter how friendly the Huns were to the Huns, they were essentially opposite sides. Without major interests, the Huns would never have allowed Huangfu Song to lead five thousand Xiongnu to follow, especially after the great defeat in the sixth year of Xiping, it would be even more impossible for Huangfu Song to recruit five thousand Xiongnu to follow...

There must be evil when something abnormal happens. Dong Hu cannot tell what kind of interests Huangfu Song used to exchange with Qiangqu. He was hesitating whether he was raiding the Meiji Xiongnu at all costs. The door of the room was knocked lightly. Zhang Liao hurried to the door, and soon returned to Dong Hu, with a little more solemn expression on his face.

"Lord, it was a letter sent by General Hua Xiong, saying that Bu Dugen, the younger brother of Danhan Shankuitou, personally led five thousand cavalry to come. At this time, he might have already fought with our army."

Dong Hu raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but he looked back at the Kuwa who was lying on the bedside. When he saw him looking over, Kuwa responded to gentleness...

“What a pity…”

Dong Hu shook his head and sighed, got up and patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder.

"I sent Meiji Shanyuting's letter to Yinguan County overnight, and handed it to Mr. Guo personally, so that Mr. Guo could handle Mr. Gao's funeral."

"In addition, go outside the city to find Dong Chong and Liu Qi, and ask them to lead five thousand cavalry to Liangcheng Pass, Hua Xiong is the general and they are the deputy. Don't stay by our side, follow them and go with them to become a talent."

Zhang Liao's heart beat wildly, and he said with some concern: "If Wen Yuan goes to Liangcheng, what should he do with the lord?"

"hehe……"

Dong Hu couldn't help but grin and patted him on the shoulder hard.

"It's impolite to come without going. The thief attacked and punched us hard. We must return it. However, there are many dangers in entering the Xianbei territory this time. You are still very young. Be more careful in the battle formation and don't be too impulsive when encountering the enemy."

Zhang Liao clasped his fists solemnly.

"promise!"

Dong Hu hit him in the chest again.

"It's cold, you should carry all the cold-proof equipment you should carry carefully."

"Go."

...

He personally sent Zhang Liao out of the room, and then Dong Hu sat back to Kuwa. Looking at his equally fat son, he felt a little lucky. Kuwa was several years older than him, otherwise...

Dong Hu didn't dare to think about it, and felt a lot of guilt in his heart. The eldest son and daughter were not around when they were born. The bitter baby was obviously by his side, but when he gave birth, he still couldn't take care of him carefully because of his busy military affairs.

Climbing onto the bed and holding the troubled woman in my arms, my thoughts drifted to the distant Hehuang Valley. The repeated suppressed thoughts instantly filled my heart...

...

"Dad...Dad..."

The woman hugged her son tightly and pushed open the door. As soon as she walked into the warm room, she had not completely untied the quilt, and her one-year-old son pointed at a set of human-shaped iron armor and shouted.

"Dad...Dad..."

The woman took off the scarf around her neck, squatted down, lit her son's little nose, and showed a gentle smile on her face.

"Does Ning'er miss her father?"

"Dad...Dad ran away..."

...

The woman is not someone else, but Dong Hu's eldest daughter-in-law Da Ya. The little guy who kept calling "Dad" was his eldest son. Because he was born in Xining, Da Ya gave his son a nickname "Ning".

The mother and son just returned to the house, but the maid and the mother had not yet brought hot water. Two girls, one tall and one short, ran into the room. The older one looked like eleven or two, and the younger one looked like five or six years old, which was Ajie and Dong Bai of Baima Qiang.

Ajie is the granddaughter of Baima Lao Wang, and Dong Bai is the great-grandson of his outer daughter. Although the two girls are a generation apart, their relationship is like a lady. When they break into the room, they just saw Da Ya about to take off her coat for her son.

"Sister Da Ya, Ajie helps you..."

On the eleventh day of the year, Ajie held the treasure at home, but Dong Bai spoke up.

"Auntie Da Ya, when will Uncle Huwa come back? Bai'er has been there for a long time...I haven't seen Uncle Huwa for a long time..."

Da Ya likes the cheerful little Dong Bai very much. After lit her little nose, she took off her thick coat for her son...

"When Uncle Huwa beats all the bad guys outside away... Uncle Huwa will come back..."

"Yeah, Daddy is going to beat the bad guys too!"

The little girl pointed her head, and at this moment, a woman lifted the curtain and walked into her outside. She was Dong Bai's mother, Li, but Li seemed ten years old.

Li walked into the room, Dong Bai crawled into her arms with a cheer, but how could he notice the worry on Li's face...

"Daya, you... can you talk to your husband..."
