The general who was eating his meal frowned immediately when he heard what Princess Pingyang said.
If it were an ordinary woman, would she say such a thing?
That won't end well.
But the other party's identity is a princess, who dares to say anything to her?
Even though Wei Qing was a general, he could only say politely: "Qubing is not an outsider. His Majesty gave him a reward. Shouldn't we be happy?"
However.
Princess Pingyang scolded: "You are confused!"
"Your Majesty asked Huo Qubing to move out and gave him a big yard."
"You even took the initiative to ask all the friends and guests who used to surround you to visit him. Don't you understand what this means? This is deliberately evading your power."
Wei Qing shook his head and said, "Madam, you are serious."
The words fell.
The general, who didn't take this matter seriously, continued to hold his rice bowl and prepare to eat.
to be honest.
The general has a big appetite and eats quite a lot in one meal.
But the mentality is also really good.
Even if something big happens, he still maintains a stable attitude.
No.
He swept the rice that Princess Pingyang had knocked down on the dining table back into the bowl and prepared to continue eating.
But Princess Pingyang took the bowl out of his hand and refused to let him eat.
have no choice.
The general had no choice but to mutter, not wanting to hear Princess Pingyang's complaints, he stood up and walked out.
Out of the house.
I wanted to relax, but at this moment, someone suddenly shouted respectfully: "General!"
Wei Qing looked back at the person who called him, and immediately smiled and said: "Oh, it's Ren'an. I heard that Qu Bing is throwing a banquet at his new mansion today, why didn't you go?"
Ren'an shook his head and said, "I followed the general and had to be supported by the general to achieve my current status."
"If I see the champion gaining power, I will abandon you and join the hussar general."
"Then I'm no different than a pig or a dog!"
Hearing Ren'an's words, the general looked very pleased.
but.
Still said: "It doesn't matter if you go."
Seeing Wei Qing say this, Ren'an felt very strange and asked, "Isn't the general angry at the behavior of those retainers?"
The general laughed and said: "Angry? Why are you angry?"
"I don't agree with keeping private retainers."
"In the past, Prime Minister Dou and His Majesty's uncle Tian Fu had troubles just because of their retainers. I don't want these things to happen!"
When Ren'an saw the general acting like this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "The general is really an open-minded person."
"."
"."
Chang'an City, in the courtyard where Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty rewarded Hussar General Huo Qubing.
After many guests and friends left the banquet, they looked in a mess.
The servants are cleaning.
Huo Guang had always lived with his elder brother. Since his elder brother was forced to move here by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang naturally followed him.
after all.
Back then, I lived in the residence of General Wei Qing.
Just for the sake of my brother.
There is no blood relationship between him and General Wei Qing.
"Ah, it's nice to live in Huo Mansion"
Huo Guang stretched out, shirtless, looking quite comfortable.
after all.
This is my brother's mansion.
My brother’s mansion is my own house!
This is much more comfortable than living in the shogunate. After all, there are many rules in the shogunate. Huo Guang didn't think anything of it before, but since Princess Pingyang married into the shogunate, he always felt like an outsider.
Oh, no!
He was an outsider.
It's better to live in the elder brother's house. His elder brother Huo Qubing doesn't like rules, so there aren't many rules in this new house.
certainly.
The master has no rules, but there are still rules for the slaves.
Huo Guang found his own clothes, put them on, and then asked the cleaning servants, "Hey, where is my brother?"
The slaves pointed to the study and said, "Hui Bo Luhou, the master is in the study, writing something!"
"Okay, I got it, keep busy!" Huo Guang waved his hand to the slaves and asked them to continue doing their own things.
Huo Guang himself walked towards his brother's study.
The slaves said that brother is writing in the study?
What to write?
Is it possible that my brother, who enjoys fighting the Huns, also likes the "activities" of dancing, writing, ink, and cultivating sentiments?
Not to the point, not to the point of.
Walking to his brother's study, Huo Guang gently knocked on the door twice.
Then.
Then I heard my brother's voice coming from inside.
"Enter."
Huo Guang then pushed open the door and walked in. As expected, he saw his brother sitting in front of the desk, writing something on a slippery slip.
Um.
There were books and papers beside it, but the ones my brother used were still slips.
the reason is simple.
Although writing on paper was already popular in Chang'an at this time, after all, it was a novelty that only became popular in the past few years. In most formal occasions, people still use simple slips.
What is a formal occasion?
for example.
Send a memorial to the court!
Huo Guang was curious about his brother writing in such a formal way, so he asked, "What is your brother writing?"
However, the elder brother continued to write without answering Huo Guang's words.
This made Huo Guang somewhat embarrassed.
Good guy.
What's wrong with ignoring people?
After seeing each other for a while, the elder brother put down the brush and reviewed it up and down. When he thought it was OK, he looked at Huo Guang and said, "Huo Guang, you are a disciple of Dong Daru, and your literary talent should be good. Come and read this admonishment of my elder brother. Is it useful?" no problem!"
Admonishment?
Huo Guang was very curious as to why Champion Hou wrote this thing!
but.
Confused, Huo Guang stepped forward and read the advice written by his brother.
"The great Sima Chen is ill and has died, and then he pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor Shu: Your Majesty has heard that he will be ill and wait for his crime."
"."
"."
"I can't bear to steal. My Majesty has issued an edict to appoint the prince because of the auspicious time of midsummer. But Your Majesty is lucky enough to see it. I will go to the Emperor again after my illness has passed."
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
The overall meaning of my brother's advice is to ask your Majesty to make the third son king, in order to protect the status of Prince Liu Ju.
I knock!
Isn't this just to drive the third son out of Kyoto!
Except for Prince Liu Ju.
If other princes were granted the title of king, they would be driven out of Chang'an.
From then on, it was difficult for father and son to see each other again for a long time.
Why do you say this can protect the crown prince's status?
Think about it!
Father and son have not seen each other for a long time, and their relationship has become estranged. From the original relationship between father and son, it has become a relationship between monarch and minister after being crowned queen. How can this not protect the status of Prince Liu Ju?
But these are not important to Huo Guang.
What matters is.
Why is my brother suddenly writing these things?
Regardless of the dynasty or generation, the emperor does not like his ministers to advise him, especially regarding the prince.
Take Wei Zheng's advice to Li Shimin as an example.
Everyone knows that Li Shimin listened to Wei Zheng's advice!
As everyone knows!
If Li Shimin didn't have a wise queen to hold him, even if Wei Zheng had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough for Li Shimin to chop off.
This is still Li Shimin.
Who was Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?
That was a man with a murderous streak who could kill all the officials in the entire court.
As he gets older, his personality becomes more violent.
A witchcraft disaster basically implicated half of the imperial court and the entire Chang'an elite circle.
The Wei family, the Gongsun family, the Li family where Li Guang's heirs lived, etc., all did not escape the butcher's knife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Don't look at the champion being favored now.
If you lose power by then.
I'm afraid I might also suffer the same misfortune.
After all, no matter how prominent the position is, in this era, it is all given by His Majesty.
Wasn't Wei Qing also favored back then?
The emperor requested that the general treat him with the courtesy of an emperor, and also asked all officials in the court to kneel to him.
But now?
If you don't need to suppress it, suppress it. It doesn't matter whether you are a general or not.
I saw this admonishment written by my brother.
Huo Guang couldn't help but frowned and said, "Brother has great literary talent. I don't see anything wrong with this advice."
"Just wanted to ask."
"Brother, why are you writing this? Although the prince and you are cousins, this matter has little to do with us generals. Why are you suddenly writing advice to your majesty?"
Upon hearing Huo Guang's question, champion Hou Huo Qubing first frowned.
He seemed to be debating whether to tell him or not.
After a while.
Huo Qubing finally relaxed his eyebrows and said: "Yesterday, the Queen came to talk to my brother about something, saying that Your Majesty loves the third son and is estranged from the Crown Prince."
"She's afraid something will happen in the future."
"I will invite my brother to come and let the third son be crowned king and leave Chang'an."
Oh, it turns out that Queen Wei did all this.
someone said.
Wei Zifu is a virtuous queen.
Why do you say this? Because as a queen, Wei Zifu never harmed a concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the palace.
But he did a lot of things for his son Liu Ju.
in.
He asked his younger brother Wei Qing to speak again, and then asked his nephew Huo Qubing to speak.
It's the last minute.
He even opened the arsenal and agreed to let the prince Liu Ju "rebel"!
Put it this way.
Although the fault is not on the crown prince Liu Zheng, he is indeed a "cheat"!
After listening to what Huo Qubing said, Huo Guang didn't know how to persuade his brother not to get involved in this kind of thing.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Although my brother is good at writing, advice is a big deal after all. How about we study it carefully for a few days before submitting it to His Majesty?"
When Huo Qubing heard this, he immediately said, "No, I will enter the palace today to meet His Majesty."
"In the next two days, my brother may lead an army to Mobei to attack the Xiongnu."
"If I delay, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to advise His Majesty."
Before the crusade against the Xiongnu, did he advise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to make his third son king?
It was also said that it was used to defend the position of Prince Liu Zhi!
No matter how you look at it, it seems like you are trying to blackmail Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the name of going out to fight!
Huo Guang suddenly felt dizzy.
I wonder why my brother has such a low emotional intelligence?
After thinking for a while.
Huo Guang then spoke again: "Brother, if your Majesty doesn't listen to your advice, what will happen?"
The elder brother raised his eyebrows, as if he had already thought about this outcome, and replied directly: "As long as you feel clear in your heart, since I have promised the Queen, I must fulfill my promise."
Hear the words.
Huo Guang had no choice but to give up his plan to persuade his brother to remonstrate.
Because he knows.
Champion Hou has always been a man of his word.
If you persuade your brother not to give advice, wouldn't it mean that your brother becomes a villain who doesn't keep his word? And even if he persuades him, his brother will not listen.
Now that the result is known.
Why waste any more time.
to this end!
Huo Guang had no choice but to say to his brother: "Brother, His Majesty is the current emperor of the Han Dynasty. When I advise you, please be careful with your words and not to offend His Majesty."
Hear this.
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "Okay, I have been working for Your Majesty for so many years. Brother, am I still unclear about His Majesty's temper?"
"If you're fine, please help brother take care of Shan'er."
"alright."
"I'm going to the palace."
While he was talking, Huo Qubing had already packed up the slips and prepared to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.
See this.
Huo Guang could only smile and said "good".
have no choice.
The development of history is like this. Before Huo Qubing died, he indeed advised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, asking his majesty to make his three sons king, and then drove them out of Chang'an.
This was also the first time in Huo Qubing's life that he had given advice to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Wait for Huo Qubing to leave the house with the slips.
Huo Guang sighed, shook his head, and did not go to his sister-in-law's room to look after Huo Shan.
He thought about what his brother had just said that he might be sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer Mobei in the next few days. Huo Qubing's newly recovered body was about to go into battle, so he couldn't help but worry.
so.
He called his servants to buy some medicinal materials according to his requirements.
at the same time.
Take out the medicinal materials that were not used up in the last decoction, such as rhino horn powder.
A concentrated rhinoceros horn powder can make a lot of decoctions.
Huo Guang followed the steps of boiling Angong Niuhuang Decoction last time and started boiling the potion.
but.
It's different from last time.
I added more water this time, and also added some medicinal ingredients, but the proportions are still the same.
Just suffer like this.
Wait until the water dries up, and then coarsely filter the medicinal materials, leaving some mud-like things that form into a ball.
in this way.
Angong Niuhuang Pills came out.
Don't look at this thing, it's a small piece and not a big portion.
If this was sold in future generations, it would be sold at a sky-high price!
After all, it is made from real medicinal materials, and there is absolutely no fraud.
"Phew, I'm so hot." Huo Guang raised his hand, wiped his arm with his sleeve, and said to himself: "My brother has only recovered a few days and went to a cold and miserable place like Mobei. It would be bad if the old disease relapses. "
"This time."
"With this Angong Niuhuang Pill by my brother's side, I can feel more at ease."
Afterwards, Huo Guang called his slave to find a small jade bottle and put the medicine in it.
Then I got a stopper and sealed it.
After Huo Guang finished all this, his elder brother also came back from the palace to give advice.
Huo Guang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My brother came to the palace to give advice. What did your majesty say?"
Huo Qubing replied with a smile: "Your Majesty said that we can just let my brother fight the battle in Mobei. The matter of Prince Liu Ju and the third son being crowned kings will be handed down to the Censor."
Does this mean that His Majesty is not angry?
That's good.
Huo Guang nodded, then handed the small jade bottle containing Angong Niuhuang Pills to the champion Hou Huo Qubing and said, "Brother, you must accept this."
Huo Qubing took the small jade bottle and asked curiously: "What is this?"
As he said that, he was about to pull out the cork.
When Huo Guang saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Brother, please don't remove the cork of the bottle, lest the effect of the medicine is lost."
"Medicine? What medicine?" Huo Qubing asked curiously.
Huo Guang scratched his head and said, "My brother was in coma a few days ago. I asked the imperial physician to give him the medicine to make him suffer."
"But this time I increased the amount, so I boiled the potion into pill form."
"Brother, take this thing with you so that you can save your life at this critical moment."
If he had not experienced the previous incident, Huo Guang told him that the medicine he had taken from his suffering could have saved his life.
As a hussar general and Grand Sima, he would definitely not believe it.
May have previous personal experience.
Of course Huo Qubing was very aware of the effect of this medicine, so he immediately took it into his arms and said, "You're welcome, brother, thank you very much!"
Huo Guang waved his hand and said, "Hey, brother, you are out of sight now!"
"We are a family, no thanks." (End of chapter)
