Emperor Jing took three bundles of bamboo slips from his eunuch Chuntuo and smashed them heavily on the imperial desk. His face became gloomy. The majesty of the superior suddenly appeared. The hall became cold. Many officials were heartbroken and thought it was not good.

"I have three urgent reports from the border here. The Huns entered Yuyang and killed countless people and kidnapped thousands of people. The huge Yuyang city has become an empty city. None of the thousands of soldiers and civilians have been spared. This is a killing that has never been seen in the ages!" Emperor Jing's two sword eyebrows were furrowed tightly, as if two sharp swords were unsheathed, which made people feel heartbroken.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu have been harassing the border. In one year, tens of thousands of people have not slaughtered and plundered. The officials have not known how many times they have to hear about such borders in a year. When they relaxed, they secretly said, "Isn't that the case?"

"Do you think that for decades, the Huns have not disturbed the borders in any year or month, and have become accustomed to it?" Emperor Jing's voice suddenly turned high and he questioned all the officials.

The officials' hearts burst and they couldn't help but lower their heads.

Emperor Jing threw the other two bundles of bamboo slips: "This is a good news sent by Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi. They fought against the Huns, and Li Guang's troops beheaded more than 120 people, and Cheng Buzhi beheaded nearly 100 people."

"The emperor is wise and wise! The Han army is mighty!"

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they win a battle, Emperor Jing would be happy and flatter him.

However, their flattery hit the horse's legs, and Emperor Jing's right hand slapped on the imperial case: "When the Huns come, they kill countless times, and a mere number of beheadings, they must report their merits and rewards, which is hateful! They cannot cross the Great Wall and go deep into the desert to fight the Huns?"

Since the siege of Pingcheng, the Han army has guarded the city tightly and has never crossed the Great Wall to fight the Huns. This is also the pain in the hearts of the Han emperor!

"At the beginning of my ascension, the Huns raided the border. I drew my sword and stood up, trying to attack the border. My army Chao Cuo advised me to stop me. At that time, the princes in the country were in a big way and could not send troops. I hugged my sword and lie down. Chao Cuo gave me the word "向子." Emperor Jing became more and more excited, and stood up and pointed at the ministers: "A knife on the head of the word "向子" means that if the knife cuts your heart, you still have to endure this kind of inhuman torture, do you know?"

The ministers did not dare to show off their anger, but they could only be as calm as they lowered their eyebrows.

Dou Ying, who knew Emperor Jing very well, already felt something was wrong. This was the prelude to the storm!

"When will the Han family be able to surround the desert?" Emperor Jing waved his right arm and shouted loudly.

After the siege of Pingcheng, the Han Dynasty followed the strategy of marriage. Anything that the Huns disturbed the border was safe and sound as long as they sent a beautiful woman. The ministers were already at peace. Emperor Jing called them to go in and out of the right ear, so they didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhou Yafu stood up, who was pulling me? After a glance, it was Dou Ying pulling his clothes and his left eye flashed at him.

"I am willing to lead an army to fight the Huns!" Zhou Yafu did not understand Dou Ying's intention and formally asked for his order.

"At last, there was one who was not scared to the Huns!" Emperor Jing first praised it, and then changed the subject: "Zhou Yafu, you can't even manage family affairs well, why do you lead the army to fight? Your youngest son Zhou Yang is careless of human life. As the prime minister, you are trying to cover up, so why do you stand as an example for all officials?"

The tone is extremely high and a little sharp and sharp. Emperor Jing was still praising Zhou Yafu in the first half of the sentence, and then he questioned this way. This change is too fast, right? The heart of heaven is hard to predict, and the intention of the saint is hard to find. Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. This is right.

The murder case of Zhou Yang people left Zhou Yafu with nothing to say, but he could only kneel down and apologize: "Emperor, I know the crime! I have no way to teach my children and I am not strict in governing my family. Please punish the crime!"

This is the second time that Zhou Yafu was humiliated in the murder case. The aura in his heart cannot be described by writing. It would be strange if Zhou Yang was in front of him and he would not be skinned.

Dou Ying, who knew what Emperor Jing thought, clenched his right hand into a fist, and used too much force, and the back of his hand had turned blue.

This worry was quickly confirmed: "Zhou Yafu, you have been the prime minister for several years. Do you know the number of lawsuits for money, grain, and prison?"

As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, Zhou Yafu, who was kneeling on the soft mat, trembled violently. This was a sign that Zhou Yafu's skills were exhausted.

"It's over, it's over!" Dou Ying knew Zhou Yafu's character well. He was rough and straightforward, so he definitely didn't know about money and food. Emperor Jing asked this question, so he must have made a fool of himself on the spot. This was a big ugly. The ministers would think that Zhou Yafu was incompetent and could not bear to be the prime minister, so Zhou Yafu's prime minister's power would be no longer protected.

Well, I really had to help him rescue him. Who told him to be so important to the prince?

There are many people who think like Dou Ying. Xuchang and Zhuang Qingzhai, who are closely watching the position of prime minister, are extremely happy. As long as they give the public the impression that Zhou Yafu is incompetent, they will make trouble again and Zhou Yafu will be sure to stop his prefecture.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Yafu answered with a stern answer: "If the emperor wants to know the amount of grain and money, he can ask Xuchang, the Grand Secretary; if the emperor wants to know the number of lawsuits, he can consult the court officer Zhang Ou."

"Ask the official?" Emperor Jing frowned. Dou Ying, who knew Emperor Jing's thoughts, was heartbroken. It was obvious that Zhou Yafu's answer was beyond everyone's expectations and disrupted Emperor Jing's plan.

"What do you want the Prime Minister to do?" Emperor Jing's voice suddenly turned high and became a little sharp, and he was really angry.

Zhou Yafu replied calmly: "Return to the emperor, the prime minister assists Yin and Yang, commands all officials, and assists the emperor. There is no need to do everything personally, just manage all officials well."

As soon as the words came to an end, the hall was silent!

The ministers knew Zhou Yafu's character and thought he could not answer it. However, Zhou Yafu's answer was organized and reasonable. Although it was suspected of being sophist, it was also reasonable and could not refute it.

Emperor Jing frowned and said, "It's reasonable to say this!"

"The storm has finally passed!" Dou Ying breathed a sigh of relief in secret.

Xuchang, Zhuang Qingzhai and others who were closely watching the prime minister were disappointed.

The more Zhou Yafu thought about it, the more frightened he became. If it weren't for Zhou Yang, he would have suffered a great defeat today. Next, when the court was discussing affairs, Zhou Yafu had no intention of participating, as if a thorn was on his back, and he did not retreat until the sky was bright.

After leaving Xuanshi Hall, the scorching sun shone on his body, warm and warm. Zhou Yafu felt the difference between the two heavens of ice and fire, and then he realized that his whole body had been soaked with cold sweat.

Dou Ying walked to Zhou Yafu and raised his thumb: "Prime Minister, you are deeply interested in the prime minister, Dou Ying admires it."

"Wei Qihou has been awarded too much." Zhou Yafu's back felt cold. This was the credit of Zhou Yang, who he regarded as his rebellious son. Wei Qihou was the title of Dou Ying.

"Prime Minister, to be honest, you are really scary today!" Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu had a very good relationship and could say things that others could not say: "When you tremble, I thought the Prime Minister had no words to respond, but I didn't think so. I was too worried. The Prime Minister was deeply interested in the prime minister. I admire him! I admire him!"

"I dare not take it! I dare not take it! Wei Qihou, if there is an urgent matter in the mansion, I will take the lead! Say goodbye!" Zhou Yangfu hurriedly passed by Dou Ying and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Yang'er! Yang'er!"
