In the carpenter Li Hong's shop, Huo Guang took a drawing of his own design and asked the carpenter to build a wooden baby stroller.
While Li Hong was whittling the wood with a plane, he asked: "Bo Luhou, how do you make this wheel?"
Huo Guang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the wheels. I'll ask the blacksmith to get them done. You can fix the whole cart first."
"good."
The carpenter listened to Huo Guang's words and continued to plan the wood.
After finishing these things, Huo Guang took the stroller back to the General's Mansion, but he did not see his uncle and brother.
then.
I had to first go to my sister-in-law's confinement room and ask, "Sister-in-law, brother, can I come and see my nephew?"
As Huo Qubing's brother.
Then he is Huo Shan's father-in-law.
Father Zhong looked at his nephew and saw what he could do.
Sun Ying said from inside: "My uncle is late. My husband has already carried Yan'er into the palace to meet His Majesty."
"Oh, that's it, forget it for now. I'll ask the maid to put the stroller in my sister-in-law's room. When my sister-in-law gets better, she can push little Huo Shan around." Huo Guang said softly.
Sun Ying said: "My uncle is interested."
After chatting for a few words, Huo Guang left here.
Although I haven’t seen little Huo Shan, there are still many days to come, not least of which are these two aspects.
Later, he originally planned to go to the imperial prison to see the captured Xiongnu chief Yu Yi Zhixie.
Over in Mobei, regarding the matter of King Zuogu Li establishing himself as Chanyu, the imperial court has issued a policy letter telling them that the Han Dynasty has recognized his position as Chanyu.
But there is a prerequisite, he must surrender to the Han Dynasty.
What does surrender mean?
Even if they bow to Chen Chen, the country where the Huns are located can at best be regarded as a subsidiary of the Han Dynasty.
To know.
Since the Han Emperor Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty regime.
The Huns have always suppressed the Han Dynasty, both in terms of territory and military strength.
Early Han Dynasty.
The territory is not large.
The land unified by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was nothing more than the reunification of the Central Plains countries conquered by Qin Shihuang.
Whether going north or south, there was a lot of land that did not belong to the Han Dynasty.
People who don't understand history like to complain that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed all the economy accumulated during the Wen and Jing dynasties.
Will the economy be good in the future?
Was the economy of the Qing Dynasty good?
How many soldiers did the Qing Dynasty have before it destroyed the Ming Dynasty? When outsiders encroached on the Qing Dynasty's land, how many troops did the outsiders have?
A dynasty that has been treated as a soft persimmon has no use for its economy.
No matter how much money you have, it can only be used to cede land and pay compensation!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was different. He conquered almost all the surrounding countries.
After years of war, the economy was ruined, but the territory of the Han Dynasty became vaster.
As for comparing the late Ming and Qing Dynasties with the Han Dynasty during the Emperor Wu period?
The Ming and Qing Dynasties were at the end of the dynasty, and there was no way to recover.
But before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to power, the Han Dynasty also suffered from internal and external troubles. The rebellious vassal states will rebel, and the Huns in the periphery will also fight. Moreover, the Han Dynasty has never won a war against the Huns!
People often say that defending the world is more difficult than conquering it.
But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only defended the world.
It even expanded the territory of this world by more than twice.
certainly.
These are all digressions. The Huns received the policy letter from the Han Dynasty. Although they did not accept the canonization of the Han Dynasty, they did not dare to openly refuse it.
Without him, he was just afraid that the Han Dynasty army would come and kill him again.
What Huo Guang has to do now is to free Yizhixie, the Great Chan of the Huns.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Letting Yizhi go back means sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
Yi Zhixie, the former Great Chanyu of the Huns, knew that after King Zuo Guli established himself as the Chanyu of the Huns, he would definitely join forces with him.
But because King Zuo Guli was just a small king of the Huns.
If Yizhi Xie is released too early, the opponent may not have the capital to fight with Yizhi Xie.
so.
Huo Guang kept delaying, waiting for a suitable time to let Yizhixie go.
However, before he left for the imperial prison, a maid informed him that Duke Xiaqiu Jiang had invited him to be a guest.
It is rare to be invited by Duke Xiaqiu Jiang.
But as the Marquis of Bolu, Huo Guang didn't care about this.
Just let the maid decline it politely.
But he didn't expect that when he went out, he was stopped by Duke Xiaqiu Jiang.
"It turns out that Marquis Bolu is in the house. I thought you were not in the house. Look, it seems that the maid is lying!" Jiang Gong Xiaqiu deliberately said sarcastically.
Huo Guang glanced at the old man and thought that this old man was really ignorant. If he didn't want to see him, wouldn't he have made his attitude clear?
Still coming to block the road?
hehe!
"Mr. Jiang, it's not that I don't want to see you. I really have something going on and I can't get away from you!" Huo Guang still said respectfully.
As a representative of the Guliang faction, he still has a high status.
only.
Not as good as Dong Zhongshu, a master of the Gongyang faction.
It's not that the "Gu Liang" theory is inferior to the "Gong Yang" theory, but that those in power prefer Gong Yang.
Wait until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dies.
The people in power at the back were close to Gu Liang. At that time, the Gongyang faction was no longer good.
Hearing this, Duke Xiaqiu Jiang immediately said: "Marquis Bolu's status has risen with the tide, so it is normal for him to be busy."
"But I still advise you to come."
"It's not that I want to see you, but that a certain big shot wants to see you."
Mr. Xiaqiu Jiang is still the same as before, with a slight stutter when speaking.
As for his words.
After hearing this, Huo Guang expressed deep doubts.
Big shot?
The biggest figure in the Han Dynasty was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was summoning his brother and his son Huo Shan to the palace, so he had no time to see him.
Now in Chang'an City.
Who can be called a big shot, and even himself, the Marquis of Bolu, has to give face to him? .
Could it be a relative?
hehe!
The Wei family were the most noble relatives in the Han Dynasty.
The rest of the relatives are nothing!
It was precisely because of these that Huo Guang was very disdainful of Jiang Gong Xiaqiu's words, and said indifferently: "Big shot? Mr. Jiang, what if I don't want to see your so-called big shot?"
Duke Xiaqiu Jiang hummed softly: "Marquis Bolu, it's better to meet with me."
"You can't afford to offend this man."
"Moreover, it also has a lot of connection with your General's Mansion."
Duke Xiaqiu Jiang's words confused Huo Guang.
He can't afford to offend?
Could it be Prime Minister Li Cai, the chief official of the imperial court? If it were him, he wouldn't be able to afford to offend him under normal circumstances.
But the problem is, I have already been offended.
And what is the connection between Li Cai and him?
Not Li Cai, the only big shots in Chang'an City are the princesses.
What about Princess Pingyang, Princess Guantao and the like?
But Princess Pingyang was in the house, so there was no reason for outsiders to call him over.
As for Princess Guantao?
Does this person have any connection with Duke Xiaqiu Jiang?
Huo Guang didn't know.
After much deliberation, Huo Guang couldn't guess who was behind Mr. Jiang in Xiaqiu, so he said directly: "Mr. Jiang, it's better to tell me directly who it is, otherwise, I will go to work and won't have time to meet him later. Big shot you say.”
Seeing Huo Guang's resolute attitude.
Mr. Xiaqiu Jiang frowned and thought for a while.
Wait for the problem to be clarified.
He then said: "Well done, Marquis Bolu, I just told you that it is His Highness the Crown Prince who wants to see you."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
When Huo Guang heard this, he was stunned for a while.
When did this prince get involved with Duke Xiaqiu Jiang?
Shouldn't he have listened to Dong Zhongshu's explanation of Gongyang Chunqiu?
It stands to reason.
Even if the prince wanted to see him, he should ask Dong Zhongshu to come.
Think of this.
Huo Guang then asked, "Why did Jiang Gong listen to the prince's orders? Could it be that you taught him Gu Liang Chunqiu?"
See this.
Jiang Gong just smiled faintly and said: "Marquis Bo Lu asked what these people are doing. Go...go to my house. Isn't it all clear?"
"Just letting you be my guest."
"I'm not asking you to do anything. Why are you resisting so much?"
Prince Liu Ju was born to Empress Wei.
It can be said that he is of the same origin as the Wei family, and like Huo Qubing, he should be called Uncle Wei Qing.
The prince called Huo Qubing to call his cousin.
According to his brotherly relationship with Huo Qubing, he is considered to be older than Liu Zhi.
It's not too much for Liu Ju to call him his cousin.
certainly.
It is impossible for Liu Zhi to call him his cousin, after all, he has the status of prince.
Huo Guang thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, since the prince wants to see me, then I will go, Mr. Jiang, please."
"please!"
After saying this, Huo Guang called two sedans, one for himself and the other for Duke Xiaqiu Jiang.
Wait until they arrive at Jiang Gong's house.
The first thing Huo Guang saw was not the prince, but Jiang Wanqiu coming out of the kitchen carrying food.
Think back to the beginning.
I came to Duke Xiaqiujiang's house to ask Duke Xiaqiujiang for help, but he was very humble.
In addition, because of a little trick at that time, Mr. Xiaqiu Jiang was slightly cheated.
Jiang Wanqiu then lectured herself.
so.
Huo Guang didn't have a high impression of Jiang Wanqiu, so he just glanced at him lightly and walked in.
Waiting to enter the guest room.
Only then did Huo Guang meet the prince Liu Zhi.
This was not the first time that the two met. They had met before when they were choosing a Confucian lecturer for the prince.
But at that time, there was no communication.
Moreover, the prince Liu Zhi was still very young at that time.
After Huo Guang entered the door, he bent down and raised his hands and said, "Huo Guang, Marquis of Bolu, has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Prince Liu, with his youthful heroic spirit, waved his hand and said: "Marquis Bo Lu, I just invite you to talk about things. Why should you be so polite? Come and sit down."
The prince's palace is called the East Palace.
so.
There is nothing wrong with calling yourself this palace.
In fact, Prince Liu Zhi is younger than Huo Guang, but judging from the tone of his voice, he feels very stable.
It is said that children from poor families become masters early.
This is absolutely wrong.
What kind of family do poor children belong to? It’s just three meals a day!
Like those families of princes, generals and even scholar-bureaucrats, their children received extremely good education from birth.
Just put in a little effort.
That's not what children from poor families can compare with.
It’s not that they win at the starting line, but that their starting line is already an end point that is out of reach for children from poor families.
From ancient times to the present.
With the exception of Zhu Yuanzhang, which famous person do you think has a good family since childhood?
Even the relatives around these celebrities are mostly famous and talented people.
at this time.
Huo Guang had already found a place to sit down. Looking at Liu Ju's vernal smile, Huo Guang asked curiously: "I wonder why the prince invited me to come to Mr. Xiaqiu Jiang?"
Hear Huo Guang's question.
Prince Liu Ju said elegantly: "It's nothing, but in recent days, Xi Guliang Chunqiu has been quite touched, but Gongyang Chunqiu has some indescribable discomfort."
"I also heard from Mr. Jiang that when you were a Mongolian disciple under Dong Zhongshu, you raised many opinions against Gongyang."
"Now I invite you to listen to your opinions and see if they are consistent with what I think!"
After hearing what Liu Zhi said, Huo Guang frowned, looked at Duke Xiaqiu Jiang who was teaching Gu Liang Chunqiu, and asked: "Didn't Duke Dong win the last competition? He should be explaining Gongyang Chunqiu to the prince. Why do you come to Tinggu?" Liang is here."
The tone in Huo Guang's words was very bad.
This made Mr. Xiaqiu Jiang's face suddenly darken.
The atmosphere is not right!
Prince Liu Ju spoke first and said: "Bo Luhou, what's so surprising about this? Which Confucian disciple has not studied these schools?"
"As the prince, I will govern the world in the future, so I should work more and learn more."
"While listening to Mr. Dong's explanation of Gongyang, come and listen to Gu Liang. What's the problem?"
There is nothing wrong with what the prince said.
After thinking carefully, Huo Guang had no choice but to respond: "Your Highness, in fact, I do not object to Gongyang's argument. The so-called "Spring and Autumn", for the Gongyang School and the Guliang School, both use subtle words and great righteousness as the starting point, and there is no What a difference."
"Mr. Jiang, can you bring me a roll of slips?"
"Let me give you an example, Your Highness."
However, at this moment, Duke Xiaqiu Jiang had a dark face and ignored Huo Guang.
Jiang Wanqiu, who was still standing by, said in time: "I'll get the slip with whatever content you want!"
Huo Guang looked at Jiang Wanqiu and said, "It doesn't matter what the content is, as long as it's a slip."
"good."
After Jiang Wanqiu responded, she went to get a roll of slips and handed it to Huo Guang.
Huo Guang took the slip and rolled it up immediately.
Then he put it upright in a sunny place by the window and said, "Your Highness, look at the shadow after this slip blocks the sunlight. What is the shape?"
"What shape? It's round!" Prince Liu Ju said doubtfully.
Huo Guang nodded and said, "It is round, but where does Your Highness see it now?"
The words fell.
Huo Guang turned over the slip and came over sideways.
The shadow under the sun naturally turns into a rectangle.
"Rectangle?" Prince Liu Zhi stared at the shadow and suddenly understood something. He said: "Interesting, Marquis Bolu wants to tell me that all small words and big ideas are based on one side. If you look at different sides, the teachings will naturally be different. .”
Huo Guang then clapped his hands and said, "Your Highness is smart."
Here it is.
Prince Liu Ju fell into deep thought again, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was studying something.
For a while.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Prince Liu Ju suddenly spoke and said to Huo Guang: "Actually, just looking at one side is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, some sides are bad, and some sides are good. We only look at the good side, that's all!"
"ah?"
The prince's sudden words made Huo Guang confused.
Only looking at the good side? Does it mean to report good news but not bad news?
However, before he could say anything, Prince Liu Ju changed the topic and asked Huo Guang: "Is Marquis Bolu willing to marry Duke Jiang's granddaughter? Duke Jiang is the leader of the Guliang School. If you marry Miss Jiang, what will happen in the future?" It can be supported by the Confucian disciples of the Guliang Sect."
"ha?"
Huo Guang was even more confused at this time.
Why is it related to marriage?
However, before Huo Guang could refuse, Prince Liu Zhi interrupted him again and said, "When I govern the world in the future, I will use Gu Liang as the basic Confucian thought. Gongyang School can be abandoned."
