"The towering head?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty muttered to himself. Then he saw Huo Guang and asked, "What do you mean by the word towering?"
Zhengrong usually describes the height and abruptness of a mountain, or the tallness of a building.
This kind of vocabulary.
If used on people, it is mostly related to facial appearance.
but.
That's not called a majestic head, but majestic horns.
Combining these, Huo Guang said lightly: "Your Majesty, the word "mountainous" is used to describe the tall, handsome and abrupt mountains. If it is used on a person, it is called "peaked with horns and horns." Towering on the top of the head is wrong.
Hearing Huo Guang's explanation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was very confused and asked: "Isn't it right? That means you spoke too quickly and made a slip of the tongue!"
See this.
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this was not a slip of the tongue."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che frowned and asked doubtfully: "There is no slip of the tongue, so what do you mean?"
Huo Guang immediately stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, a tall head and horns are a sign of facial features. In professional terms, it means that this person is full of heaven. He is a person who is born rich and will stay like this for life."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Huo Guang and asked: "Born to be rich, will you stay like this for the rest of your life? Humph, who is it?"
Huo Guang explained calmly: "Of course he is the king of all dynasties, just like your majesty!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was puzzled for a while, and then said: "Oh, that's it."
"Eh"
"Then you said that Captain Li Gannai has a towering head. What do you mean by that?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that since he was born rich, Li Gan couldn't be the same as him, right?
Hear the words.
Huo Guang immediately replied: "The towering horns and the towering top of the head are both strange phenomena. However, the former is born with wealth and wealth, while the latter is caused by man and has the intention to suppress it."
"What, the desire to ban?"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he became furious.
For the emperor.
To ban oneself is an unforgivable crime.
When Li Gan saw Huo Guang talking nonsense, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the slander!"
"I am the son of Li Guang. I was taught by my father. I am loyal to the Han Dynasty and His Majesty, and I will never say anything about it!"
"Marquis Bo Lu is talking nonsense and misleading the public!"
"He slapped me with the bruise on my forehead."
"He is deceiving His Majesty!"
As a Marquis of Guannei, Li Gan naturally did not have a higher title than Huo Guang in terms of titles.
But now that Huo Guang was spreading rumors, Li Gan couldn't bear it.
He pointed his finger at Huo Guang and immediately burst into anger.
only.
Huo Guang ignored Li Gan's dirty words and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Captain Li Gan's behavior is really strange."
"You ask him a question, but he doesn't answer you himself, so he lets me answer it."
"That's all!"
"The key is, I answered honestly, and this guy said that I slandered him."
"What if I'm slandering?"
"Then why does this guy ask me to explain when he knows the answer?"
"Isn't this a deliberate attempt to shirk responsibility? Or is it because you don't want to pay attention to His Majesty!"
Hear the words.
Li Gan was shocked and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, I really didn't deliberately shirk it. It's just that I am the Marquis of Guannei, so it's not easy to accuse Marquis Bolu in person."
"The swelling on my forehead is all due to the beating by Marquis Bolu!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately narrowed his eyes, stared at Huo Guang, and said, "Oh, Huo Guang, what is going on?"
Huo Guang also had a headache about this matter. What if you directly say that the other party wants to kill General Wei Qing?
Please!
The other party didn't take action.
Huo Guang said this, and the other party would bite back later, but he couldn't defend himself.
Think of this.
Huo Guang immediately responded in his own way: "Your Majesty, Li Gan keeps saying that I beat him, but I have no reason, why should I beat him?"
"This kind of reason is totally untenable!"
"Li Gan, can you give me a reason why I want to beat you?"
Seeing Huo Guang's denial, Li Gan immediately sneered: "Your Majesty, this Bo Luhou is deliberately stirring up trouble and wants to smooth over this matter."
"How do I know why he beat me too?"
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, when the time comes, I can arrest all the people who saw the truth on the street that day!"
However.
Little did Li Gan know that as soon as he said these words, Huo Guang would be caught again.
He immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, all the Han people in the world are your subjects. The people have done nothing wrong, but Captain Li Gan said he would arrest people who were just witnesses of what happened, but he used the same treatment as for prisoners. His attitude shows that he is arrogant!"
"Huo Guang, stop spitting like that!" Li Gan was furious and wanted to immediately pounce on Huo Guang and bite him.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also spoke at this time: "Huo Guang, don't find problems with Li Gan in these words, just tell me directly, was it you who beat Li Gan like this?"
Faced with the direct question from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang certainly did not dare to hide anything and said, "It was the minister who made the move!"
When Li Gan heard this, his face suddenly lit up and he said, "Your Majesty, you heard it, this guy admitted it."
Hear the words.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked slightly ugly.
And just then.
Sitting in the front row was the champion lord, Hussar General Da Sima Huo Qubing, who said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not only Huo Guang's business, I am also involved!"
I heard Huo Qubing say that he was also involved.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked even worse and asked, "You are also involved. Tell me what happened."
The champion said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "On that day, I knew that my brother was in trouble, so I hurried over."
"When I passed by, I saw Li Gan who was drunk and aggressive. He had a murderous look on his face and started fighting with my brother."
"That's when!"
"My brother was just trying to persuade Li Gan to return to his house, but the other party held a sword and wanted to kill him!"
"I can't see it."
"then."
"He directly picked Li Gan's sword with his spear, and this stopped the conflict."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned and said, "Li Gan, are you the one who beat him like this?"
Huo Qubing shook his head and said: "I just knocked the opponent's sword away and didn't do anything to him. Those were all caused by fighting with my brother."
"I don't think so."
"As a military general, even if you are beaten into a pig's head, you can only blame yourself for not being good at martial arts. How can you blame others?"
"Could it be?"
"If you were killed by the Huns on the battlefield, should you blame the Huns for being barbaric?"
As soon as Huo Qubing spoke, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately changed his attitude. He immediately questioned Li Gan and said, "Is this the case? Li Gan, don't talk nonsense. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If I find that you have lied, , not only you, but also your family will be punished by me!"
When Li Gan heard this, he was immediately frightened and panicked, and said, "I did drink too much that day, and my words were out of character. Please forgive me."
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately snorted: "If you had said this earlier, wouldn't everything be fine? Huh, everyone, sit down!"
"promise."
As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke, the three people sat down one after another.
You can tell.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not want to pursue this matter too much.
after all.
His beloved general Huo Qubing was also involved in this matter.
So everyone remained silent at this time, no one asked anything, and in the end they had no choice but to let it go.
At this time, almost all the officials and military generals came in and took their seats.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand, and the singers began to dance and the musicians began to play music.
The Han Dynasty.
Eating with pleasure is considered elegant.
Among the musicians, one of them committed a crime when he was young and was castrated. Later, he became famous because his sister, Mrs. Li, was favored.
This musician is Li Guangli's younger brother, Li Yannian.
At this moment, he was playing drums and playing music in the center of the palace, and began to sing in his unique voice:
"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent."
"Look at the Qingren City, then look at the Qingren Country."
"Would you rather not know Qingcheng and Qingguo?"
"A beautiful woman is hard to come by!"
As the musician Li Yannian sang, Mrs. Li appeared on the stage. For a moment, her graceful figure suppressed all the singers and maids, making them lose their luster.
No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty doted on Mrs. Li so much. Who wouldn’t be confused by this?
As for what Li Yannian sang, it was his famous work "Beauty Song". It is said that this piece of music later became the beginning of the five-character poem.
so.
If you want to transfer poems from later dynasties to the Han Dynasty, it will work.
only.
It will not cause much of a stir in Confucianism, because here, no matter how good the five-character poem is, it can only be used as music for eating food.
Wait until the music is over.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, waved his hand, the majestic sound stopped, and the palace became quiet.
at this time.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said calmly: "I am hosting a banquet for you all today. First of all, I am here to congratulate General Wei Qing and General Huo Qubing on their promotion to the position of Grand Sima."
"Secondly, I want to tell you some bad news."
"This bad news comes from the Huns in the north."
"You all know it too."
"In the Battle of Mobei, the Han army was invincible and killed the Huns. Even their great chanyu was captured by Marquis Bolu and brought back to Chang'an."
"But the problem is, news came from Mobei that their King Zuogu Li will establish himself as the Great Chanyu of the Huns and regroup the Huns."
"Although the Huns are nothing to fear at this time, I don't want to see the Huns in the north grow like this. A few years later, when we are old and unable to walk, we will be attacked by the Huns again. threaten."
"Tell me, what can you do?"
Many generals came to this banquet.
A military commander.
That must be the main battler. After a few glasses of wine, he immediately shouted: "Why is Your Majesty worried about this matter and asked General Hussar to lead us to kill them? They don't care whether they are King Zuoguli or King Youguli. Kill him cleanly."
no doubt.
The general who spoke was from Beidaying and belonged to his brother.
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only smiled and said nothing!
For a battle in Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty prepared for two years to save money and develop the economy.
If you want to fight again.
At this time, how could the Han Dynasty have the economic strength?
When the generals talked about fighting, it was obvious that they had not thought about what happened behind it.
After the generals spoke, Da Nong Ling Sang Hongyang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if we want to have a battle on the scale of the Battle of Mobei, it will take at least two years to prepare!"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he said with slight dissatisfaction: "Two years? In two years, King Zuogu Li of the Xiongnu has controlled the remaining troops, and I am afraid there will be another resistance force."
Sang Hongyang had no choice but to sit down obediently.
The so-called King Zuogu Li actually did not have a high status among the Xiongnu kings.
on it.
There are also wise kings on the left and right.
Above the virtuous kings on the left and right, there is the Great Chanyu.
Why could King Zuo Guli directly overtaken the left and right virtuous kings and establish himself as the Great Chanyu?
Very simple.
The great Chanyu of the Huns was captured alive, and both the left and right virtuous kings were killed by Huo Qubing.
The King of the Huns is gone.
When King Zuo Guli saw it, he realized that the opportunity had come. If he didn't take the opportunity, who would?
Prime Minister Li Cai frowned slightly when he saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to fight. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid of angering His Majesty, so he kept silent.
But he is the leader of the three princes.
He doesn't speak.
Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stop asking him?
So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked: "Prime Minister Li, I see your frown, do you have anything to say?"
Li Cai was a military commander.
His ability to become prime minister shows that the Han Dynasty did not distinguish between civil and military officials.
But there is no distinction between officials.
He also rose up slowly from the Baiguan system, rather than going directly from general to prime minister.
That's impossible!
Moreover, after Li Cai took up an official position, he basically never touched the military power. So, don’t talk about abandoning writing and embracing martial arts. Just abandon martial arts and embrace literature.
You gave up.
You are still a shitty general.
At most, he has a background as a military commander.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty did not hold military power.
During the period of Emperor Wen, Taiwei belonged to the prime minister system.
Not just the Taiwei!
On the bright side.
Among the three princes, the imperial censor and the Taiwei all assist the prime minister.
But actually?
Before Emperor Wu, the Taiwei was working against the Prime Minister!
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Taiwei was left vacant by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his power was delegated to the imperial censor, so the censor and the imperial doctor started to work against the prime minister!
and!
At that time, the Taiwei had the right to mobilize troops and horses. Did the Prime Minister dare to mobilize troops and horses?
Does he dare to get involved in military power?
Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, the only person who truly controlled military power as prime minister and could mobilize troops and horses was Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Not even Zhuge Liang, because it was the Three Kingdoms period at that time.
certainly.
These are all beside the point.
At this moment, facing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's question, Prime Minister Li Cai stood up and said: "I believe that this matter is not a big deal. King Zuo Guli of the Xiongnu is just a small king and does not pose a threat to our dynasty for the time being."
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he was not happy and said: "Nonsense, if it is a big event and poses a threat to my big man, am I still in the mood to have fun with you?"
"That's what I asked!"
"How to prevent the Huns from becoming bigger and stronger? What I ask is the future!"
After being reprimanded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Cai's face turned red and he couldn't say anything, so he could only sit down sadly.
Even the prime minister, the head of the officials, was reprimanded.
For a while.
At the palace banquet, things turned a little cold.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at everyone and asked calmly: "Is there any one of you who can give me a strategy to deal with King Zuogu Li who has established himself as the Great Chanyu of the Huns?"
Hear the words.
The ministers and generals lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
They were afraid that they would be singled out for questioning by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If one of them failed to say something right, they would be reprimanded for no reason, which would be a disaster.
Even the prime minister was reprimanded.
What about them?
But at this time.
A young man stood up on his own initiative and said respectfully to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, I have a plan!"
