After the fight with Huo Guang, Li Gan had already woken up from his alcoholism.
People say that drunk people have sober minds.
This is true.
It is true that many people, after drinking too much alcohol, appear drunk, but their minds are still clear and they understand what they are doing.
Drunk.
It's just an excuse for them to be reasonably arrogant.
Just like some people, wearing a horse head mask, a bull head mask, or those frog coats, their personality suddenly becomes bold?
Does that mean the same thing?
In addition, there is a saying that drinking makes people brave.
What's more, Li Gan is not a coward. When he killed the Huns, he was the most valiant general among Huo Qubing's men.
But no matter how brave and skilled he is, he is still just a subordinate of Huo Qubing.
At this moment, facing the hussar general's spear, he even began to hesitate to speak.
Seeing this, the hussar general became even more disdainful and said angrily: "It seems that you really have the idea of going to the general's house and killing my uncle?"
"snort!"
"You alone are worthy of killing my Han Dynasty general!"
The words have fallen!
Huo Qubing swung his spear and was about to pick Li Gan, the Marquis of Guan Nei.
A matter of life and death.
Li Gan was also frightened and took a few steps back.
At this time, it was Huo Guang who shouted in time: "Brother, no, Li Gan was confused by the strength of the drink, and that's why he had this idea."
"Besides, we stopped him and he didn't hurt my uncle."
"In this situation."
"Brother, if you pick him, wouldn't you be framing the general into injustice?"
Huo Guang was very anxious at this moment and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
He didn't care whether Li Gan died or not.
But if he is killed by the champion, not only will his work be in vain, but he will also aggravate the crime of the champion.
Original history.
It was Li Gan, the Marquis of Guan Nei, who injured General Wei Qing, so Huo Qubing took action in anger and struck Li Gan with a deadly move.
In the eyes of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this crime was excusable.
If Li Gan had not injured the general, Huo Qubing would have been killed directly by Li Gan. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have been able to find any reason to protect his hussar general.
See Huo Guang blocking him.
Huo Qubing suddenly stopped waving his spear, then glared at Li Gan and said, "Li Gan, you have to thank my brother Bo Luhou."
"If he hadn't stopped you!"
"If you really go to the general's house, even if you just hurt my uncle even a hair, I will never forgive you!"
Hearing this, Li Gan's face turned pale, but facing the hussar general, he could only bow his head at this moment.
He didn't dare to look directly at the champion's sharp edge.
But the more it looked like this, the more disgusted Huo Qubing became, and he shouted directly: "What are you still doing here? Fighting like a common man on the street, it is a disgrace to Beidaying, why don't you go back."
"promise."
Li Gan clasped his fists slightly, then turned around and picked up the weapon on the ground, and then walked back to Li's house in embarrassment.
He, Li Dare, dared not act recklessly in front of Huo Qubing.
after all.
The Cavalry General is his immediate superior.
On this road, due to the armed fight between Huo Guang and Li Gan, no one dared to come forward, except for Huo Guang, Huo Qubing and the masked Lin Yaoqing.
When Huo Qubing saw Li Gan walking away, he asked Huo Guang, "Who is this? Why do his moves look so familiar to me?"
Huo Guang hasn't answered yet.
Lin Yaoqing quickly took off the cloth covering his face and said, "General, it's me!"
When Huo Qubing saw it was Lin Yaoqing, he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be you, haha, I tell you, the way of swinging the knife looks so familiar to me."
"Ah, right."
"Now that the war in Mobei is over, do you want me to transfer you back from Nanda Camp?"
At this time, the only person under Huo Guang who could fight was Lin Yaoqing.
This is one of Huo Guang's capable men.
How to get others to transfer?
Not even my brother.
Immediately!
Huo Guang jumped out and said, "Hey, brother, this can't be done. Give someone a gift and never take it back. If you give it to my subordinates, there's no reason to take it back."
"No, no!"
"Brother wants to transfer Lin Yaoqing back to Beida Camp, but I won't agree."
Seeing Huo Guang's protective look, Huo Qubing was helpless and said, "Brother, when did I agree to send my subordinates to you?"
Lin Yaoqing was actually sent to Nanda Camp because his brother wanted to protect himself.
After all.
It's really not a gift to his subordinates.
Hearing this, Huo Guang quickly changed the subject and said, "Hey, brother, let's not talk about this for now. I'm actually more curious about how brother came here and arrived in such a short time. Is it a coincidence?"
Huo Qubing smiled lightly and said, "In recent days, isn't your sister-in-law about to give birth? I specially stayed at the general's residence to take care of her."
"I was walking in the mansion today. I met my uncle and had a little chat."
"While we were chatting, my uncle started talking about you and how the Sang Danong family wanted to betroth their youngest daughter to you. He also said that you seemed to have encountered something and left in a hurry, mumbling the words 'He's here'."
"Brother Wei immediately remembered what you said when you brought Brother Wei back, that you wanted to beat Li Gan."
"Out of curiosity, I came to take a look."
"I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
The care mentioned by champion Hou Huo Qubing can be understood as "accompanying".
With his identity, status, and temperament, how could he possibly know how to take care of people?
This is ancient times.
Whoever becomes a prince or prime minister is not a male chauvinist.
There are only a few people like Champion Hou who are willing to stay with his wife. What's more, in ancient times, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, and the Cavalry General only married such a wife.
no way.
Die young, literally die young.
When Huo Guang heard his brother's explanation, he immediately said: "Thanks to my brother for coming to help, otherwise there is really nothing we can do against that Li Gan."
However, Huo Qubing shook his head and said, "Young Master, I still don't know what you are capable of. If you add Lin Yaoqing and Li Gan alone, how can you be your opponent?"
In terms of martial arts, Huo Guang's skills were all taught to him by the champion.
How could Huo Qubing not know Huo Guang's strength?
And Lin Yaoqing was an old subordinate sent to Huo Guang by Huo Qubing, so it was quite clear what his strength was.
So Huo Qubing's words were not just casual remarks.
The three of them communicated briefly for a while. Seeing more and more people gathering on the street, Huo Guang took the initiative and said, "Brother, this is not the place to talk. It's still early. Why don't we go to a restaurant and have a drink!"
"Drink?" Huo Qubing looked at Huo Guang, and then asked, "Have you done the crowning ceremony?"
Without the coronation ceremony, you are not considered an adult, so you are naturally not allowed to drink alcohol.
Even if Huo Guang is now the Marquis of Bolu.
If it works?
Then the three brothers of the Wei family, who were granted the title of marquis when they were still young, have been blatantly drinking since they were young?
Of course not.
If the general finds out, he will beat their butts to pieces.
certainly.
In private, the three brothers would still drink some wine secretly, but the general didn't know about it.
When Huo Guang saw his brother asking the question, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll just drink some fruit wine!"
When Huo Qubing heard that it was fruit wine, he immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it, Huo Guang, after you do the crowning ceremony, my brother will have a good drink with you!"
"alright."
"No more words, brother will go back to the General's Mansion first."
The words fell.
The champion raised his whip and walked away.
From behind, Huo Guang took Lin Yaoqing back to the Le Restaurant and had a delicious meal.
after one day.
Word came from the court that His Majesty the Han Emperor had abolished the post of Taiwei, which had been vacant for many years, and created the post of Grand Sima to replace him.
In fact, Da Sima was not the first creation by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It can be traced back to the Three Yousi in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which were the three official positions of Da Sima, Da Sikong and Da Situ.
The official is as his name suggests.
Da Sima means the marshal who controls the world's soldiers and horses.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established a new post of Chief Sima, and someone must take up the post, so the second "notice" from the court came.
Based on their achievements in the Battle of Mobei and their past achievements, the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Champion were granted the titles of General Da Sima and Hussar General Da Sima respectively.
The official positions of the two are the same, regardless of their size.
This was a direct appointment from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Even the Prime Minister, the "Second Emperor" of the Han Dynasty, did not dare to complain.
certainly.
Speaking of the prime minister, we have to mention the issue of generals in the Han Dynasty.
Almost everyone who does not understand history will say that the status of military generals in the Han Dynasty was higher than that of civilian officials.
This is absolutely wrong.
First of all, there was no distinction between civil and military officials in the Han Dynasty. Historically, the official separation of civil and military officials was in the Song Dynasty!
Secondly, the status of military generals, even in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who worshiped martial arts, was never higher than that of traditional officials, and he could not even overpower those officials who played with pens.
Why do you say that?
Because military generals have officials, the highest is the highest, that is, Da Sikong, Da Sima, or the previous Taiwei, who are among the three nobles.
So.
There's a bit of a problem here.
If a general has an official, then he is an official.
It's an official.
You must respect the prime minister who is the head of all officials. The prime minister is always the biggest among the officials.
So in the Han Dynasty, there was no general who could dominate all officials?
have!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a certain rebellious minister and traitor took advantage of the fact that he had soldiers and directly changed Da Sikong back to Da Sima, and based on his demands, he was superior to the prime minister and ranked first among the three princes.
This is the first time that a military commander has publicly shown that his status exceeds that of all officials!
That is what we often call civil servants!
If you say so.
Then some people will definitely question, can't the military commander directly become the prime minister?
Of course, there were such examples in the four hundred years of Han Dynasty history.
but.
Most military generals are rude and common men, and there are very few who understand etiquette like Wei Qing.
Such a person should be the prime minister.
The end result is a dead end.
In other words, if the emperor dislikes a general and has no excuse to kill him, he can just make him the prime minister.
certainly!
These things are of little concern to Huo Guang now.
The only relevant news.
This is the case of the Huns from Mobei.
News came from the court that one of the Huns in the north, who was under the right and left virtuous kings, began to establish himself as a great chanyu in Mobei, replacing the previous role of Yizhixie.
so.
The role of the Han army in capturing Yi Zhixie was minimal.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, recruited a large number of talented people to discuss how to deal with this matter.
certainly.
before discussing the matter.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che held a palace banquet and invited hundreds of officials, most of whom were generals who participated in the Battle of Mobei.
These include Bo Luhou Huo Guang, champion Hou Huo Qubing, Changping Hou Weiqing, Guannei Hou Li Gan, etc., among others.
certainly.
Li Gan's title of Marquis of Guannei is not a title, but a collective name for those marquises.
Although Huo Guang likes to be free.
But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che held a palace banquet and invited him by name, so he had to participate.
After all, he was still the captain of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Food in the Han Dynasty, especially palace banquets, had its own etiquette. As we all know, most of everything in the Han Dynasty was inherited from the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
The pre-Qin Dynasty followed Zhou rituals.
so.
The eating habits of the Han Dynasty are closely related to those of the Zhou Dynasty.
The palace banquet of the Zhou Dynasty is known as the eight treasures of Zhou Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, the minimum requirement was to include eight delicacies of meat. At the same time, when the food is placed on the table, soup should be on the right and rice should be on the left.
The Zhou Dynasty was the theory of bells ringing and cauldrons eating.
In the Han Dynasty, music and music were the main food. To put it simply, you had to be accompanied by a singer, dance and play music while eating.
These are normal phenomena.
As the Marquis of Bolu, Huo Guang entered the palace and took his seat in accordance with the etiquette and order under the guidance of the palace people.
The same etiquette and order must be followed when exiting afterwards.
This kind of behavior, in the Han Dynasty, was called the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers, and strict hierarchy.
so.
A banquet in the palace is not just for you to eat and drink for free, but it has its own set of purposes.
How to introduce this behavior?
simply put!
It is another form of enlightenment, using an invisible ritual framework to bind the restless heart.
Just like when you are at home, the emperor, Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Kangxi Qianlong and other ancient masters, when you type on the keyboard, you can say that they are not even shit.
This is disrespectful.
There was no keyboard in ancient times, so how could it be counted?
Just think about it!
But no one can control you for this kind of disrespect.
Because others don’t know, there’s no clue, right?
The Han Dynasty established this kind of banquet etiquette to say no to this disrespect.
In the feudal dynasty, you must always be aware that you are working under others, so you must respect the ruler.
Over time, you get used to it.
After being influenced by what you hear and see, you have to respect even if you don't respect.
Anyway, Huo Guang finally took his seat after going through the complicated etiquette.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's palace banquet was extremely luxurious.
There were quite a lot of people invited, and the process was still going on in a tedious manner.
To know.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very particular about ostentation. We all know that the Jiuchi Meat Forest came from the Shang Dynasty, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also caused the Jiuchi Meat Forest incident.
certainly.
This move by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not an extravagance, but a demonstration of the powerful economic capabilities of the Han Dynasty to envoys from surrounding countries!
Purpose.
It is to make surrounding countries bow their heads.
Not long after Huo Guang took his seat, Li Gan, who had been invited, also took his seat.
It’s really not like enemies never get together.
Li Gan was actually very close to Huo Guang. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at them and saw the two of them.
But it's also strange.
Among so many people, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che noticed Li Gan.
Especially the two big bumps on his head.
So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked out of curiosity: "Captain Li Gan, why are there two swellings on your head? Is it possible that someone dares to beat you?"
Li Gan first glanced at the champion Hou Huo Qubing sitting in the row in front of him. The opponent sat firmly in his seat and never looked back at him.
Subsequently.
He glanced at Huo Guang again.
I saw Huo Guang grinning at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help it. He immediately got angry and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have to ask Marquis Bolu what's going on!"
"Oh? Marquis Bolu?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his attention to Huo Guang.
The smile on Huo Guang's face suddenly stopped. In desperation, he started to talk nonsense and said: "Your Majesty, Colonel Li Gan's head is not bruised and swollen, but a strange phenomenon."
"This is it."
"The majestic appearance of the head!"
