The Great Han Empire's infantry was powerful, but their cavalry was too weak.
If he controlled the Hetao region and the Southern Desert, would he need to worry about not having warhorses?
In the throne room.
Liu Che's orders were passed down one after another, and the Great Han Empire's war machine began to operate rapidly.
The news of the Xiongnu's defeat spread to all the surrounding countries.
The Subordinate Country of the Great Han Dynasty once again witnessed the power of the Mother Country.
Now that the emperor had just ascended the throne, as a vassal state, they began to prepare annual silver and tributes.
The affiliated kingdoms of the Great Han Empire had to pay annual silver every year to beg for the protection of the mother kingdom.
These affiliated kingdoms also fantasized about meeting the Great Han Emperor, the man who could make the world tremble with a single stomp of his foot!
In the throne room.
Liu Che was overjoyed at the news of Li Guang's victory.
Even though Liu Che had already sealed Yandu and Li Guang, Liu Che felt that it wasn't enough.
The Xiongnu had always been the scourge of the Han Dynasty. The First Emperor defeated the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu retreated to the grasslands, forming many tribes.
For more than a hundred years, the Xiongnu had always been a great threat to the Great Han Dynasty.
At the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the capital flooded seven armies and defeated the Xiongnu.
After this battle, the Xiongnu would not be able to go south for a year.
——
Changle Palace.
Old Lady Dou was very happy when she learned of the victory at Yanmen Pass.
Some of his unhappiness had also dissipated for the time being…
"Reporting to Grand Empress Dowager, Prime Minister Wei Wan requests an audience!”A eunuch bowed.
"Call him in." Old Lady Dou said kindly.
Soon, Wei Wan walked into Changle Palace.
"Grand Empress Dowager, this old minister is truly unable to teach Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please allow this old minister to resign from the position of Imperial Teacher.”
Wei Wan was an old minister of three dynasties and had always been quiet and honest.
After the battle at Yanmen Pass, Liu Che's position as the Son of Heaven was already stable.
"Why do you say that, Prime Minister?" Old Lady Dou asked with a frown. Is it Tian Zi Wu Dun?"
Wei Wan shook her head." No, Your Majesty is knowledgeable in both civil and martial arts. It is rare in the world!"
"Oh? Was Tian Zi proud? Looking down on you, the emperor teacher?"
Old Lady Dou indeed felt that her grandson was too rebellious after he ascended the throne.
"No, Your Highness respects your teacher and is well-mannered!
"Then why is my beloved minister unwilling to teach the emperor?!”
Old Lady Dou could not help but feel a little angry, and her tone could not help but become a little more serious.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling to teach you, but I can't!
Wei Wan hurriedly said,"Your Majesty is well-informed and wise. You can be my teacher, but I still have the intention to take you as my master!"
" Hmm?..."
Hearing this, Old Lady Dou almost choked to death on the tea she had just picked up. She finally managed to catch her breath and scolded,
"Wei Wan, are you lying to this widow? His Majesty has just ascended the throne. How can he govern the civil and martial arts?!”
Wei Wan saw that Empress Dowager Dou didn't believe him and hurriedly took out two bamboo slips.
He handed one of the scrolls to Empress Dowager Dou.
"If Grand Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, you can read this first.”
Empress Dowager Dou's face was gloomy as she took the bamboo slip and read it softly,"
"At the beginning of life, people are good by nature. Their natures are similar, but they are far apart…"
Because the bamboo slips were bulky, there were only a hundred words on this roll of bamboo slips. Old Lady Dou finished reading it very quickly.
However, it was these hundred words that made it difficult for him to finish.
He silently read it a few more times, savoring the great wisdom hidden in the simple words.
After a long time, Old Lady Dou couldn't help but sigh.
"It's indeed a good article. You have to write more articles like this in the future!”
"Grand Empress Dowager has misunderstood. This text has already been completed, but it was not written by me.”
Wei Wan was anxious.
How many people would say that he was a liar? He quickly said,"Grand Empress Dowager, this book was written by His Majesty in his spare time.”
Bang!
The bamboo slips in Old Lady Dou's hands fell to the ground, her face full of disbelief.
"What? Who do you think did it?"
"Reporting to the Grand Empress Dowager, this book was written by His Majesty!
Wei Wan looked at Old Lady Dou, her eyes filled with certainty. At the same time, she handed over another roll of bamboo slips with both hands.
"If Empress Dowager still doesn't believe me, you can take a look at this scroll."
Old Lady Dou took the bamboo slips, opened them, and said in a trembling voice,"
"Laozi Annotated Book!"
Old Lady Dou picked it up and looked at it, then praised it.
"Ruler over the people! Use the few to govern the many! Kindness! Kindness! Good!"
Old Lady Dou praised him three times in a row!
Compared to the previous bamboo scroll, this volume of Laozi's Notes was even more priceless.
Old Lady Dou had always been an advocate of Old Huang's methods, the highest concept of governing the country.
However, Elder Huang's knowledge was still very shallow.
This volume of Laozi's Notes inherited and transformed Laozi's thoughts on metaphysics.
He also gave the specific direction and methods of governing the country.
