Although the three sons of General Wei did not live up to expectations, they are examples of sons who are not like their fathers.
But he is the son of the general after all.
The Wei couple had not returned home for only two days, and General Wei Qing became anxious.
To know!
In the Battle of Mobei, when the Xiongnu chief Yu Yizhi was besieged with several times the force, Wei Qing was not in a hurry.
After Huo Guang thought for a while, he said, "Uncle, don't worry, Wei and his wife are already such a big man, and they are the Marquis of Yichun. Everyone in the Great Wall knows him. Even if he gets into trouble, no one should dare to embarrass him!"
Who dares to embarrass the general's son?
Like a certain Xiao Guo from Nan Yun, who can do evil with just the little power his parents have.
If you enter the Han Dynasty.
Just like a certain Xiaoguo, in front of Mr. and Mrs. Wei, he's not even worth mentioning.
Fortunately, the general's strict teachings prevented the Wei couple from doing bad things, and they did not do anything that a bully would do.
But Gongsun Jingsheng, his cousin from his aunt's family, couldn't do it.
That guy is really doing all kinds of bad things.
He dared to embezzle the military provisions and salaries of the northern and southern camps. What else could he not dare to do?
General Wei Qing said at this time: "How can we not be in a hurry? It was originally agreed today to take him to meet the niece of Grand Servant Sun He's family. If the two of them fall in love, they will arrange a marriage."
"Eh."
"I don't know where this child went."
Hear this.
Huo Guang's eyes darkened. He was engaged to Gongsun He's family?
After thinking about it, Huo Guang still asked: "Uncle, isn't this Gongsun He from the aunt Wei's family? How can this be married to the aunt's family?"
Wei Qing explained: "Gongsun He has more than one wife and daughter, so why not!"
At this point, Huo Guang suddenly became enlightened.
Right.
This is the Western Han Dynasty.
If a man is capable, there will be more than one woman. Of course, these extra women cannot be called wives, but at most they are concubines.
How humble was the status of concubines in ancient times?
Put it this way.
When guests come, you can take out the concubine for the guests to enjoy.
green hat?
No, no, no, they are just concubines. In the eyes of those big shots, they are nothing more than playthings.
Of course, there are also concubines who are so beautiful that the master of the house likes them so much that he would not use them to entertain guests.
even.
They will also have children.
But when you are born, you are a commoner.
The children of a concubine are considered half an object to this family.
Not the master!
Children born from concubines are generally used for marriage. They have no right to inherit the family property. If their father has a marquis or the like, when their father dies, his title can only be inherited by the eldest son.
How miserable!
Therefore, ancient society was not beautiful, and was even very cruel.
If Huo Zhongru had not abandoned Huo Qubing's mother and son, and then continued to marry Huo Guang's mother, then Huo Guang would have been a concubine.
Huo Qubing is the eldest son of the Huo family.
Huo Guang is the eldest son of the Huo family.
Time is also destiny.
Because Huo Zhongru "abandoned his wife and son", Huo Qubing later had the opportunity to become a wolf and live in Xu.
If Huo Qubing had followed his father since he was a child, he might not have any future achievements.
Of course, these are all digressions.
Huo Guang saw the anxious look on the general's face and said quickly: "Uncle, I'll help you find the guard and his wife, and we should be able to find them."
"good!"
Wei Qing also nodded in agreement.
After that, Huo Guang left his nephew to his sister-in-law to take care of him. I asked some of the maids in the house and asked them if they had anything to say before Wei and his wife left the house.
pity.
After asking again, I didn't get any useful information.
then.
Huo Guang left the General's Mansion and went to the Qingfeng Xiangyin toilet paper shop.
Liu Lingling, who was in charge of managing the shop, saw Huo Guang arriving and said with a smile: "Sir, why are you free to come to this shop today?"
"Huh? Why are you calling me Young Master too?"
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Lingling.
I just heard Liu Lingling say: "I saw that the restaurant owner Fu San kept calling you like this, so I started calling you the same way. If you don't want to listen, I will change it."
Huo Guang shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want!"
"I came here today to ask if you know where Mr. and Mrs. Wei went?"
"He hasn't been back to his house in the past few days. His general father is a little anxious."
Hearing what Huo Guang said, Liu Lingling frowned, shook her head and said, "Mr. Wei came to see my slave two days ago, but, sir, I don't know where the Marquis of Yichun has gone."
Liu Lingling's face is a little baby fat, chubby, and really cute.
And Mr. and Mrs. Wei are a little chubby.
There were so many beauties in the restaurant that they looked down upon, but this was the only one that suited his liking.
so.
Mr. and Mrs. Wei often come to Liu Lingling to play with her.
otherwise.
Huo Guang would not leave the house, so he came directly here to question Liu Lingling.
But Liu Lingling said that she didn't know where Mr. and Mrs. Wei had gone, and the clues suddenly stopped again. After thinking for a while, Huo Guang asked: "Liu Lingling, has Yichun Marquis ever had anything with you? Think about it carefully."
After Liu Lingling thought for a long time, she nodded and replied: "The Marquis of Yichun seems to have said that it has been too hot recently and he is going to find a cooler place to sleep!"
"Huh? Sleep!"
Huo Guang was speechless for a moment. He didn't come back for two days, and his relationship was just for sleeping.
But where did he go to sleep?
Huo Guang couldn't catch up with this guy's thoughts for a while. Just when he was about to return home, he suddenly thought of a place.
--icehouse!
When it comes to coolness, where can you find an ice cellar with ice cubes to keep you cool?
Thinking of this, Huo Guang hurried to the restaurant, took a carriage, and drove directly out of Chang'an City to the ice cellar he originally built.
here.
It is still relatively deserted, and housing construction has not yet been developed in this area.
but.
After all, it has been surrounded by Huo Guang, and there are still some buildings.
The ice cellar is under those buildings.
Huo Guang followed the door and opened it. Sure enough, he saw the Yichun Hou Wei and his wife in the ice cellar.
This guy didn't know where he moved the bed and some bedding and clothes.
Good guy!
Are the Yichun Hou Wei and his wife from the dignified General's Mansion wandering around?
At this time, when Mr. Wei saw Huo Guang coming in, he said, "Hey, cousin, why are you here too? Could it be that we have a tacit understanding and you also come here to escape the summer heat?"
Are you in tune with each other?
I have the same understanding as your uncle.
Huo Guang glared at the Yichun Houwei and his wife angrily, and said, "You haven't returned for two days, and my uncle is looking for you!"
However, after hearing these words, the Marquis of Yichun and his wife lay down again and said, "I don't want to go back. My father asked me to marry a concubine from my uncle's family. How can I, the noble Marquis of Yichun, marry a concubine!"
"What a joke!"
"Old cousin, you didn't say I lived here, right?"
The muscles on Huo Guang's face suddenly twitched, "Good guy, I picked it up for you."
Gongsun He’s concubine may not necessarily be attracted to you!
A chubby guy like you, if it weren't for General Wei Qing's son, would definitely be considered a figure in Pingyang County who couldn't get a wife.
Originally, Huo Guang was planning to ridicule the Yichun Hou Wei and his wife.
But when he thought that the other party was the Gongsun He family, he could only sigh and said: "Well, it is also a good thing to avoid marrying the Gongsun family, so as to avoid being implicated in the disaster of witchcraft in the future."
The disaster of witchcraft.
The reason was that Gongsun He and his son were arrested, and evidence of corruption and perversion of the law was found.
Then things got worse and worse, and a witchcraft incident was involved.
at last.
Even Prince Liu Zhi and Queen Wei Zifu were affected and were not spared.
Not to mention a small Yichun Hou.
oh!
No, by that time, Wei and his wife will no longer be the Marquis of Yichun.
Because he did stupid things later, he was deprived of his title by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, when Wei Qing died, this little fat man inherited Wei Qing's title.
Changpinghou!
This is the benefit of the eldest son, who can inherit the title of his father's generation.
Seeing Huo Guang chattering there, Mr. Wei asked curiously: "Old cousin, is the weather outside so hot that it will make you confused?"
"What kind of witchcraft disaster?"
"Why is a person sighing blindly there?"
Huo Guang glanced at Little Fatty, then shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything. I just said, well, I guessed that you were spending the summer in this ice cellar, and I didn't tell your father."
On a hot summer day, sleeping under a thick quilt in an ice cellar is really comfortable.
have to say.
This Wei couple knows how to enjoy themselves.
Huo Guang glanced at the other party and asked, "Then what have you been eating since you haven't been home these two days?"
Mr. and Mrs. Wei lay on the soft couch and said calmly: "I have already told the restaurant that we will send someone to deliver food every day at meal time."
So you told the restaurant?
No wonder this kid didn't feel much surprised that he found this place.
After all, the people in the restaurant already knew.
Huo Guang still asked for a long time. If he had known earlier, he would have gone to the restaurant to ask first.
However, Huo Guang was also curious at this time and said: "Then you don't have to worry about food, but you don't feel bored sitting here every day? With your temperament, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable after staying here for two days!"
Mr. and Mrs. Wei raised the book in his hand and said, "With this book, why should I feel uncomfortable!"
books?
Mr. Wei, is this guy wise?
Do you still know how to read?
Huo Guang was extremely curious, so he walked up to him and grabbed the book from his hand.
This book is not a slip.
Rather, it is a book bound with sewing and thread used to mend clothes.
What's in the book?
It is neither the theory of Confucianism nor the theories of various schools of thought that have been eliminated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
These are just some stories written by people of this era.
Except the writing is better.
It's hard to say it's exciting, but for a novice like Mr. Wei, this kind of book is the most suitable for him to read.
"What's so interesting about this story? Any story I can write would be much better than this." Huo Guang said with a faint smile.
However.
The Marquis of Yichun didn't believe Huo Guang's words and said, "Not everyone can write a good story. Cousin, please stop making trouble and return the book to me. Are you enjoying reading it?"
When Huo Guang heard this, he immediately became angry.
In an instant, I wanted to talk about classics such as The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West.
But I thought about it.
never mind.
If you tell people of the Han Dynasty this, will they understand?
"Okay, okay, then you continue to wait here, and I'll see how your uncle beats you when you return to the General's Mansion." Huo Guang hummed softly.
However.
Mr. Wei said, "Why are you going back to see him and that old woman making love to each other?"
"Ah."
"I'm not going back."
Old woman, love each other?
Soon, Huo Guang came to think of Princess Pingyang. She was known as an old woman because she could chat with the general.
There is no one except Princess Pingyang.
But Mr. and Mrs. Wei are really brave, if someone else hears what he said.
I'm afraid something big is going to happen.
then.
Huo Guang said kindly: "Mrs. Wei, be careful what you say. Princess Pingyang is His Majesty's sister. If you talk nonsense, big trouble will happen."
"Okay, I don't have time to waste time with you."
"Hurry back to the general's house. Come back early so you don't have to suffer any physical pain. It still hurts when my uncle hits someone."
The words fell.
Huo Guang shook his head, walked out of the ice cellar, and ignored him.
Chang'an City, the residence of Zhang Tang, the imperial censor.
at this time.
San Changshi, who was originally a subordinate of the Prime Minister, came to the gate of Zhang Tang's mansion for the first time.
Zhu Maichen, who was slightly older, was a little embarrassed at this moment and said: "Boy, do we need to visit our mortal enemies? It would be okay if this soup didn't see us. After entering, he deliberately humiliated us, and we still have to smile. Do you want to welcome me?"
However.
The other two chief historians said: "Brother Maichen, you can't escape!"
"In the past few days, His Majesty has asked Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, to handle all matters in the Prime Minister's residence."
"Isn't this obvious?"
"Your Majesty, it is almost certain that Zhang Tang will succeed the Prime Minister."
"at this time!"
"We haven't settled our relationship with Zhang Tang yet. If he really takes office, we might end up like Li Cai."
Zhang Tang was born in Tingwei. At first, he was just a small swordsman and pen official.
Knife and pen official!
Not only is he notorious, but he also has the property of being retaliated against.
Seeing that Zhang Tang was about to become prime minister, the three elders had to be afraid.
Speaking of which.
Zhu Maichen had no choice but to sigh and said: "That's all, for the sake of your big family, you should suffer a little anger today!"
Talking.
Zhu Maichen knocked on the door of Zhang Tang's house.
The person who opened the door was naturally Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi didn't know these three elders, so he asked: "Three elders, what are you doing here?"
Zhu Maichen immediately said: "We are the chief historians of the prime minister's house, and we can also be regarded as colleagues of Zhang Gong. Of course we are here to pay homage to Zhang Gong."
"Oh, wait a moment, I'll go and notify my father right away." As he spoke, Zhang Anshi went to inform his father, Zhang Tang.
now.
Zhang Tang is reading a book in the room.
Zhang Anshi knocked on the door and said, "Father, someone outside asked to see you."
"Goodbye, huh, I want to be promoted to prime minister, so each of them is deliberately trying to gain a relationship." Zhang Tang shook his head and said, "Tell them, I'm not in good health and I'm not here!"
Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Yes, father, I will go and tell the three chief historians in the prime minister's house right now."
"Three long histories?"
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Tang suddenly became energetic.
Zhang Anshi, who had not yet sensed Zhang Tang's emotional change, said blankly: "Yes, they claim to be the Third Chief Historian, and they work under the Prime Minister's house."
Hear the words.
The expression on Dr. Zhang Tang's face immediately changed a lot, and he said calmly: "Forget it, An Shi, just let them in."
"Yes, father."
With the consent of Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, Zhang Anshi went to bring San Changshi over.
And this time.
Zhang Tang was already half-lying on the couch, leaning over and reading a book.
The three elders looked at each other, not knowing why.
finally.
Zhu Maichen, who was still the oldest, said: "Zhu Maichen, the long history official, has met Zhang Gong."
"Hmph." Zhang Tang snorted lightly.
immediately.
He turned around again, facing away from them.
