"You're right. Zhen let you out to discuss the matter of the Xiongnu invading the border.”
Zhou Yafu bowed and said,"As long as Your Majesty gives the order, I can immediately lead the army into the desert."”
Hearing this, Liu Che slammed the table and stood up!
"Good! I will give you an edict, I will give you 30,000 cavalrymen to detour to the desert and carry out a great purge of the rear of the Xiongnu's Left Virtuous King. I will behead all the tribe leaders and family members of the Xiongnu's Left Virtuous King! Exterminate them all!"
Zhou Yafu shuddered when he heard this.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Xiongnu had invaded Yanmen Pass and the rear was empty, they would carry out a great purge of the Xiongnu rear, making it difficult for the Xiongnu's Left Virtuous King to protect himself.
This strategy was similar to what Zhou Yafu had done during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
During the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Zhou Yafu was determined to ignore the King of Liang's request for help. Instead, he was determined to cut off the enemy's supply routes, causing the soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms to fall into disarray and obtain the final victory.
However, the current emperor was even more ruthless. He wanted to exterminate the rear of the Xiongnu…
This was understandable. During the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, they had fought against their compatriots.
And the Xiongnu are barbarians!
Of course, barbarians could not be treated as humans.
Liu Che wrote a secret edict and gave the emperor's golden staff to Zhou Yafu.
Seeing the emperor's golden staff was like seeing the emperor!
After Zhou Yafu received the edict, he withdrew from the Palace of Sweet Spring. After leaving the main hall, Zhou Yafu regained the demeanor of a great general.
Other than facing the current emperor, Zhou Yafu would kneel on the ground in fear.
Zhou Yafu had always been disrespectful to others!
Ganquan Palace.
Liu Che looked at Chun Tuo, who was now so humble that he had been forced to his bones.
As a marquis, the Chuntuo Gang had done too many shameful things to the empress dowager and the old emperor. They were a real poisonous snake.
Unlike Zhou Yafu, who was the descendant of a famous general, Chuntuo had climbed up from a small eunuch step by step during Empress Lu's reign. He had tasted the warmth and coldness of the human world.
Chuntuo had relied on his ruthlessness and his ability to flatter others to climb up to the position of the head of the Embroidered Guard!
In this world, there was no one who could endure more than him!
Whether it was Old Lady Dou or Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, they were both masters of thick black studies. He could stand out because he naturally had his own unique skills.
However, at this moment, Chun Tuo was frightened by Liu Che's stare. His fear was real.
He wasn't afraid of anything. If there was, it would be the fear of losing power!
This was what he enjoyed the most, and what he was most afraid of losing.
So, he chose to rely on the new emperor?
Because Empress Dowager Dou did not have much time left, the little Emperor would be the home of the Great Han Empire in the days to come.
Liu Che suddenly stood up and said,"" From now on, you are my eagle hound. You must see and hear clearly. Otherwise, I will cook you…"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chuntuo immediately knelt down and shouted,"Your Majesty, this servant will definitely be your eyes and ears!”
"Zhen not only wants you to spy on the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but also the entire world!
"Zhen wants to know what the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister know. Zhen also wants to know what they don't know. Do you understand?”
"This servant has been enlightened! If you're enlightened!" Chun Tuo shouted.
Chun Tuo's bootlicking skills were much better than Zhou Yafu's.
If it was Zhou Yafu, he would only say,"I will obey!"”
Liu Che waved his hand and dismissed Chun Tuo.
Chun Tuo knew what he had to do to avoid being beheaded by the emperor.
After leaving the Palace of Sweet Spring, Chun Tuo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Accompanying the king was like accompanying a tiger!
He had to tread on thin ice as if he was facing an abyss beside the current emperor…
Only by serving the emperor well could he have a chance to live.
If the emperor was not satisfied with him, his power would be replaced.
To Chun Tuo, losing power was more terrifying than losing his life.
——
Zhou Yafu's residence.
Zhou Yafu, who had been locked up for three years, immediately gathered his old subordinates.
Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the four generals who had followed him for decades, arrived.
Just as they were exchanging greetings, Han Yan arrived at the Zhou Residence.
"The decree has arrived!"
"We accept the decree!" Zhou Yafu and the four generals knelt down to receive the decree.
"The emperor's secret decree: The Xiongnu bandits have invaded the border, and the rear defense is empty. Send Zhou Yafu deep into the desert to kill the bandit leader and his family, especially the tribe of the Left Xianwang.”
Zhou Yafu received the decree and said,"I, Zhou Yafu, receive the decree!"”
After Han Yan passed the secret decree to Zhou Yafu, she continued,"
"General Zhou, His Majesty is determined to destroy the Xiongnu. General Zhou, you know what to do…You must not disappoint His Majesty.”
Zhou Yafu listened to Han Yan's warning. How could he not know the deeper meaning behind Han Yan's words?
If Zhou Yafu couldn't destroy the Huns, then there was no need for him to exist.
If he could not be used by the emperor, he would definitely be destroyed by the emperor!
Perhaps the Emperor would not say this, but if Zhou Yafu was secretly obeying him while openly opposing him, the Emperor would definitely do so!
The Empress Dowager's favorite official, the Imperial Censor Xu Chang, was a lesson from the past. Zhou Yafu had no choice but to pay attention to the Emperor's will.
The killing aura from the Emperor's secret decree carried the might of an overlord as it assaulted their faces.
This secret decree was only a few words, but it determined the life and death of thousands of people!
It could even decide the fate of a country!
The four generals of Azure Dragon and White Tiger recalled what Zhou Yafu had said earlier, and they all felt great reverence for the imperial power.
So this was imperial power!
So this was the Emperor!
