Chang'an City, at the General's Mansion.
Huo Guang pushed the baby stroller he had made by a carpenter and walked around the yard, taking the little one to see the outside world.
At this time.
There was a little wind blowing in the yard, and it was slightly hot in early summer.
Huo Guang leaned over and touched the little guy's forehead. Fortunately, there were no beads of sweat or heat.
Medical facilities in ancient times were poor, and babies' own immunity was weak. If they got sick and had a fever, it would be really troublesome.
"Shan'er, grow up quickly. When you grow up, Father Zhong, I will take you to listen to music!"
Looking at his nephew's cute appearance, Huo Guang couldn't help teasing him.
Don't know why.
As soon as he mentioned Goulan and listened to music, the doll immediately let out a baby's laugh.
As if he could understand what it meant.
"Hey, why did I laugh when I heard Goulan listen to the music?" Huo Guang joked.
The baby must not understand Huo Guang's words!
The smile just now was just Huo Guang teasing him.
At this moment.
The champion, who had just returned from the palace, walked up to the baby and picked it up.
Huo Guang looked at the champion and asked, "Brother, how are the prince's affairs handled?"
That day.
After he came back from Duke Jiang's house in Xiaqiu, he heard that the same day there was a conflict between the prince Liu Ju and the embroiderer Jiang Chong.
It's still Chi Dao's thing.
Logically speaking, the prince is the crown prince of a country and the person who will inherit the throne in the future.
Going against the prince will basically not end well.
But in fact.
Almost all dynasties have a problem.
The prince and the emperor will have a very big conflict. The cause of conflict is the control of power.
The old emperor will not die.
It is difficult for a prince to ascend directly to the throne.
Emperors are a group of people with serious suspicions. Even though he appointed the crown prince himself, he is always worried that the prince will take his position.
It is for this reason.
This made the treacherous ministers in history take advantage of this to deliberately frame the prince, and eventually turned against him.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Chong was such a typical example.
but.
It is precisely because of Jiang Chong that Huo Guang can benefit in the future.
Liu Zhi will not die.
Where is the chance for Liu Fuling to ascend to the throne?
If the young emperor does not ascend to the throne, how can he, Huo Guang, monopolize power and control the government?
If Liu Zheng were to take the throne normally, with the prince's ability and prestige in the court, no matter how powerful Huo Guang was, it would be difficult to overturn him.
so!
As a human being, opportunity is very important.
To put it in vulgar terms, even if you stand on the wind, a pig can fly.
To be polite, times make heroes!
Huo Qubing heard Huo Guang's words and said calmly: "It's nothing. The prince and your majesty are father and son after all. They are only confined for a month."
"I beg for my brother's favor for His Highness the Crown Prince."
"His Majesty relented again and finally allowed him to stay in the East Palace for three days to reflect."
Grounded for a month?
This punishment is not light at all. After all, the prince's punishment will have a very bad impact.
But then again.
My brother is also proud enough to allow His Majesty to turn a month's punishment into three days.
Huo Guang thought for a moment and then asked: "The prince is grounded, what about the villain Jiang Chong?"
Huo Qubing teased the baby and said, "His Majesty seemed to have praised Jiang Chong, saying that he acted fairly and did not mess with etiquette just because he was the prince."
"ha?"
Huo Guang grinned, although he already knew this was the result.
But I still feel uncomfortable listening to it.
I wanted to say something more, but at this time, the baby in the champion's arms began to cry.
As a general, Huo Qubing was a new father, how could he understand this.
Dangzhi anxiously asked Huo Guang, "Why is Shan'er crying? She's crying so hard?"
Huo Guang thought for a moment and said, "Brother, check to see if he has defecated. If not, he may be hungry. It's my sister-in-law's turn to feed him."
Hear the words.
Huo Qubing put Shan'er in the cart and inspected it carefully.
He found that there was no defecation, so he said, "I must be hungry. Let's go and take Shan'er to eat for my father."
Finished.
Huo Qubing pushed the stroller and walked towards the house where his sister-in-law was confinement.
As for what my brother said about eating.
Such a small baby will definitely not be able to eat adult food.
The only thing that can be eaten is milk.
The words of the ancients.
If the milk supply is insufficient, some rice cereal and wheat flour paste will usually be prepared for the little one to eat.
In ancient times when there was no milk powder, rice cereal was a good substitute!
Huo Guang watched his brother walk into the room where his sister-in-law was confinement. His sister-in-law wanted to feed the child, so naturally he couldn't follow him in.
Take advantage of your free time.
Huo Guang changed his clothes and went to Huangmen Department.
What does the Huangmen Department do?
This was the official horse breeding place of the Han Dynasty, and most of them were captured Huns prisoners working here.
That's right.
The great Xiongnu Great Chan Yu Yi Zhixie has now become the official horse slave of the Han Dynasty.
There is nothing to say about this!
In ancient imperial prisons, there was no such thing as imprisonment for several years. Most people only stayed for a few days and then were taken out to work.
It's a good thing to go out to work.
If they are not sent out to work, they will either be exiled or beheaded.
After Huo Guang entered the Huangmen Department, he first found the official in charge of affairs here and informed him of his identity. Then he asked the officials to take him to see Yizhixie, the great Dan of the Huns who raised horses.
In order to facilitate communication with Yi Zhixie.
Huo Guang also specially brought over a person who was proficient in the Huns language to translate for him on both sides.
This is not Lin Yaoqing's second-hand guy.
Both sides speak the language very fluently, allowing Huo Guang and the Xiongnu Great Chan Yu Yizhixie to communicate without any obstacles.
The officials took Huo Guang and finally saw Yu Yizhixie, the Great Dan of the Huns, who was feeding the horses.
to be honest.
He looked very embarrassed at the moment.
Huo Guang looked at him and asked: "Oh my, the once famous Xiongnu Great Chanyu, I didn't expect that he was also a good hand at feeding horses!"
The voice fell.
The man who brought him with him translated Huo Guang's Chinese language to Yi Zhixie.
same.
After Yi Zhixie finished speaking, he also translated it for Huo Guang.
I saw Yi Zhixie saying viciously at this time: "I really want to kill you, and you damn Han people."
To this.
Huo Guang said disdainfully: "You're already a prisoner, so don't say harsh words, it's useless!"
At this moment, Yi Zhixie's hands and feet were cuffed, making it very difficult to move, let alone deal with Huo Guang.
then.
He could only use some dirty words to scold Huo Guang in an attempt to anger him.
pity.
Totally useless.
Huo Guang dug his ears, and when he saw that the other party finally stopped talking, he said, "Are you done scolding? Humph, that's all you can do."
"okay."
"I am here to tell you something."
"Since you were captured, your people have been preparing to start anew and appoint King Zuo Guli as their great chanyu!"
"oh!"
"No, it has already been established."
After listening to Huo Guang's words, Yu Yi Zhixie, the Great Dan of the Xiongnu, immediately laughed and said: "Haha, it's good to stand up. My great Xiongnu is gurgling endlessly. If one of me falls, there will be thousands of me."
"Wait, then."
"Sooner or later, my great Huns' cavalry will set foot on your Han people's land again."
The Xiongnu Great Chanyu looked a little hysterical.
only.
Huo Guang didn't care about this, and said with a faint smile: "The Great Chanyu is joking, there is no need for thousands of you, one is enough."
"The court decides."
"Be prepared to let me release you back to Mobei, so as to show the greatest sincerity to the new Xiongnu Chanyu, and hope that he can surrender to the Han Dynasty."
Yu Yi Zhixie, the Xiongnu Great Chan with well-developed limbs and simple mind, heard Huo Guang say that the Han Dynasty court wanted to let him go.
that moment.
My eyes feel refreshed.
As if he was afraid that the Han court would regret it, he immediately said: "Okay, I have received your sincerity from the Han Dynasty. When I go back, I will bring it to King Zuo Guli."
The words fell.
There seemed to be a hint of sinisterness in his expression, and a bit of a sinister smile.
See this.
Huo Guang suddenly burst into laughter.
This laughter made Yi Zhixie very strange, so she asked curiously: "What are you laughing at? Didn't you say you let me go?"
Huo Guang said: "I said, the former Great Chanyu of the Huns, why can't you even control your expression?"
"The expression on your face just now is clearly thinking that after you return, you will kill King Zuo Guli and regain your position as the Great Shanyu."
"Then we want to unite all the tribes on the grassland and continue the war with the Han Dynasty?"
"I was very curious, when I said, let you go."
"Don't you think about it for a moment, why should I let you go? I just want to use your hand to kill the new king of the Huns, so that you can fight among yourself and harm yourself!"
After listening to Huo Guang's words.
The expression on Yu Yi Zhixie's face kept changing.
finally.
He asked with a gloomy face: "Why are you telling me this? If you tell me the purpose of your court, it will not be achieved!"
"Humph." Huo Guang shook his head contemptuously.
What is power?
It is a poison that can make father and son fight each other, and brothers turn against each other.
Anyone in power has the blood of his own kind on his hands.
See this.
Huo Guang said with a determined look: "Do you know why I chose to release you back to Mobei now? Because I am waiting for King Zuogu Li to gain a firm foothold."
"I let you go early."
"He is no match for you."
"And if you go back and want to regain Shan Yu's position, you must kill everyone who stands in your way."
"This is the conspiracy I proposed."
"It's my intention to let you go."
"As for why I told you the whole plan, it's very simple. I want you to kill me even if you don't want to kill me. Whenever you kill your people, you will think that this is my plan. The purpose is to make you Huns Killing each other.”
"But you have to keep killing each other, because this is how you Huns survive."
After Huo Guang finished speaking, the translator had many beads of sweat on his forehead.
I wonder if Huo Guang talked too much, which put him under pressure in translation. Or it was because Huo Guang's words were too scary.
Wait for the words to be translated.
Na Yi Zhi's slanted eyes revealed a look of resentment, and she stared at Huo Guang and said, "You Han, you have such a vicious heart."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Huo Guang smiled lightly.
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand towards the officials in the distance.
Let the people from the Huangmen Department escort Yizhi to Nanda Camp.
Then he brought out his captain, who had grown to number 700, from the South Camp.
Although the Battle of Mobei is over.
But the surviving army soldiers did not disband where they were.
The captain's force of his own is usually led by deputy captain Lin Yaoqing.
today.
He personally led the team and took the people to Daijun, where they were finally taken away by the remnants of Yi Zhixie's troops.
The original person who came was King Zuo Guli.
However, Huo Guang looked at King Zuo Guli's men with clear murderous intent in his eyes, so Huo Guang rejected King Zuo Guli's men.
He was afraid that the other party would be killed halfway by Yi Zhixian, and then he would frame the Han Dynasty again.
at last.
We can only wait for Yi Zhixie's trusted old subordinates to take him away.
But this time comes again and again.
It took a lot of time, and it took almost another month before Huo Guang returned to Chang'an.
However.
What Huo Guang didn't expect was that within a month.
A big event happened in Chang'an.
Li Mansion suffered a disaster.
This Li Mansion is not the Li of Flying General Li Guang, nor the natal family of His Majesty’s favorite concubine, Mrs. Li, but the Li of Prime Minister Li Cai!
Why is it said that Li Mansion suffered a disaster?
Because Prime Minister Li Cai was impeached, someone listed him with more than a hundred crimes.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered.
The Prime Minister Li's house was searched, and a lot of property that exceeded his salary was really seized from the Li family.
be honest.
As the prime minister, the "second emperor" of the Han Dynasty!
It is normal to have a lot of money at home.
Even if he doesn't do anything, there will always be people trying to squeeze money into the Prime Minister's house.
In terms of the customs and customs of this land.
Even a pavilion chief like Liu Bang in his early days could make a fortune as long as he wanted to. What's more, how can a big shot like the Prime Minister have so little money?
This is something everyone knows.
Normally it doesn't matter.
But if money exceeding the salary is found, then something will happen.
What's up?
The crime is confirmed!
But these are not important yet.
The most important thing is that among the more than 100 crimes listed against him, the most serious one was that he had invaded the land of Yangling, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
If the conviction is based on this article, it will be a capital offense.
The person who took the lead in impeaching him on one hundred charges was Zhang Tang, the imperial censor who had previously wooed Huo Guang.
Although Zhang Tang is honest, he is a cruel official.
Cruel officials did not have a good reputation in the Han Dynasty. Why did the literati of the current dynasty and even later generations belittle Zhang Tang as a treacherous person?
The main reason is that many of the crimes he convicted officials were groundless.
Is it easy to establish trumped-up charges?
not easy.
But why is Zhangtang so easy to make? There was no other reason, it was just that most of the people Zhang Tang impeached were ministers that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to get rid of.
This is Zhang Tang, a censor doctor who was born as a swordsman and pen official.
After all.
It was nothing more than taking the blame for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Originally, Huo Guang had no intention of getting involved in these political struggles in the court.
At least he would not take the initiative to get involved before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died.
Liu Che doesn't kill generals very much!
But the officials in the imperial court were very accurate when it came to killing them.
It's a pity that Huo Guang doesn't want to mess with things, but that doesn't mean others won't involve him.
The person who implicated him was Prime Minister Li Cai, who was about to die.
at this time!
In Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty threw the evidence listed by Zhang Tang in front of Li Cai in front of all the ministers, and asked: "Li Cai, you dare to occupy the land in Yangling, what else can you say?"
Prime Minister Li Cai looked at these evidences and said with a painful look on his face: "Your Majesty, I am unjust. That piece of land in Yangling was framed."
"With your status as a veteran, what good land can't you get?"
"Why do you focus on Chongyangling?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned cold and snorted: "Status? What qualifications do you have to talk to me about status, huh? You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
At this time, the prime minister was extremely desperate.
suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something, so he said: "Your Majesty, you are sentenced to death just because of a piece of land in Yangling? That Bolu Marquis Huo Guang of the Wei family deceived Your Majesty, used public affairs for personal gain, and occupied nearly 100,000 square meters of land around Chang'an City. What about all the land?" (End of Chapter)
