If he didn't have impressive military exploits, this official position would be the end of what he could achieve.
As for the title, Li Guang at this moment has already reached the third title of Grand Concubine, who has reached the 20th title of military merit.
Just a little bit, just a little bit...
As long as one of the two emperors, Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu, can relax a little...
Li Guang will be able to cross the current ladder, step onto the ladder of becoming a prince under the envious eyes of everyone, and strive for a future for future generations.
However, Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu, father and son, had a tacit understanding and cruelty, and closed the door for Li Guang.
Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu tolerated Li Guang's previous mistakes because of Li Guang's talent, but they deprived Li Guang of the possibility of further advancement.
Such is the cruelty of politics.
A soft knife kills people, no blood is shed, it only kills your heart!
"..."
And Li Guang, doesn’t he know this? No, obviously, he knew.
No matter how you look at it, Li Guang is a sane person, and he is not the kind of person who has nothing to do when he has enough to eat.
Knowing that he was destined to never be a marquis in his life, why did he work so hard and be so enthusiastic?
If we analyze this person's experience, it should not be difficult to find the answer. What drives him is four words, to protect future generations.
Li Guang is a national hero. He has great strategies and great righteousness in his heart, but he also has selfish motives. This is not a contradiction.
Everyone has selfish motives, but as long as there is a clear distinction between public and private affairs, then this official is a good official.
Li Guang is over fifty years old this year.
The youthful youth of old is long gone.
The passage of time increased the wrinkles on his face and made his body become more and more unbearable.
He is old, really old.
At his peak, Li Guang, who could pull an eighty-stone bow and shoot an arrow through a boulder, is no longer there.
He has given too much for this country, too much, and now he has to think about it for the sake of his descendants.
"..."
The ancients understood a long time ago that water flows slowly.
Windfalls come and go quickly. What is truly reliable is the long-term corporate share dividends.
In the Han Dynasty, where the political situation was complicated and crises were everywhere, official positions were only a temporary windfall. The long-term stable dividend that could be passed down was the title of marquis.
However, in ancient times, if you did not share the same surname as the emperor, it was very difficult to obtain a title that could be passed down to future generations.
In the Tianxia brand listed company opened by the emperor's family, the shares and dividends are naturally limited. Unless you have made great achievements, it is absolutely impossible to get them.
In the Han Dynasty, official positions were so-called floating officials.
That is to say, this official position can only be held by yourself. Your son cannot inherit it and can only serve as an official for three generations.
If your descendants are incompetent, they deserve to die of hunger and poverty.
But the title is different. After you die, your son, your son's son, can still inherit the power.
This is why Li Guang can endure the suffering caused by suppression from all sides.
He lives not only for himself, but also for his relatives and his family.
Suffering is not worthy of praise, nor is it worth preaching.
Because suffering is suffering. It can bring nothing but pain to people...
There is no one in this world who suffers from self-abuse and truly enjoys suffering.
Not only did Li Guang not like suffering, but Wei Qing also didn't like it. No one likes suffering.
People who like to talk about the poisonous chicken soup that they eat all day long to become a master...
They are usually people who can stand and talk without pain in their backs, and who have never suffered much in their lives.
As for why many heroes from ordinary backgrounds can succeed in the end...
That's because they are forced to bear the hardships again and again for various reasons.
Please note the word "forced".
Precisely because they were forced, they often say that they have experienced a lot of hardships after they become rich...
Don't you see why those who have not endured the suffering never speak out...
Because for an ordinary person, once he cannot bear this suffering, the final result is death!
And how can the dead speak?
Speaking of which, we have to talk about another famous general during the period of Emperor Jing Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty.
"..."
During the reign of Emperor Jing, there were many famous generals. Although Li Guang was a historical general, he was not too outstanding at that time.
In that era when famous generals were grabbing a lot, there were still generals who were better than him.
The most famous among them is Zhou Yafu, who is famous for putting down the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in history.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Yafu also accepted the benefits of Liang Wang Liu Wu, but his final end was to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan!
Then the problem comes. Zhou Yafu and Li Guang are also suspected of being disloyal...
Why did Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, kill Zhou Yafu but leave Li Guang alive?
In fact, the secret lies in the military aspects of the two, and their abilities focus on their different strengths.
The reason why Li Guang can leave a strong mark in history mainly depends on his historical level defensive ability.
Every general, no matter how good he is, has his own strengths and weaknesses.
Li Guang's strength is defense.
Taken together, you have to admire the political wisdom of Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Zhou Yafu, who was good at attacking and the most threatening, was killed by him.
Li Guang, who is good at defense and poses little threat, was retained.
Even if Li Guang really has different intentions in the future and does not have strong offensive ability, he will not be able to make big waves...
And if there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, as is the case now, Li Guang can come in handy.
This is the choice Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi made as a father and an emperor for his son and the country.
"..."
Let’s get back to the topic!
On Li Guang's side, he was leading the defenders at Yanmen Pass to fight a bloody battle with the Huns' imperial army.
Wei Qing, on his side, also risked death and attacked the granary of King Youxian's army.
The famous general Cheng Buzhi was also fighting against King Zuo Xian's troops, and they all came out.
Yanmen County, Dai County, and Beidi County have become human meat grinders, with millions of people’s families destroyed...
Under such circumstances, what was the Han court doing at the rear?
In the imperial capital Chang'an, above the court hall.
The three public officials and nine ministers, including hundreds of civil and military officials, were among them. The expressions on each official's face were extremely serious.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following the loud shouts of Chuntuo, the chief eunuch, hundreds of civil and military officials all fell on Liu Che.
Such a major event as the invasion of 300,000 Xiongnu troops has already reached the ears of many people through various means.
Over the past month, the officials in the court have been quarreling over this matter.
