[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House
Chapter 71
Liu Che said: "Although King Qi is young and extremely afraid of his mother, he is still a man with his own opinions in his bones, and he is not easy to deal with."
He said, smiling at Ying Zheng: "I have already thought about who to go to Qi to be the country's prime minister... This person has worked with you before."
Seeing his determined expression, Ying Zheng immediately understood the candidate in Liu Che's heart. This person is not afraid of going against the grain. I'm afraid it's not a very good candidate.
Yingzheng's mind changed, but he didn't say it out. After all, Liu Che had already made up his mind. Even if he disagreed, it would only annoy Liu Che. If someone opposed him, as a king, he might have to insist on going his own way to prove his worth. The decision is right.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Che smiled and said, "Didn't the prime minister guess that it's the master father Yan?"
Ying Zheng smiled, and he guessed right.
Ying Zheng said: "My father Yan is a talented person with a good eloquence, and he will not be flashy. His Tweeting Order is a great contribution. Let him be the Prime Minister of Qi State, and he will not be blamed."
Liu Che said: "Sure enough, the two of us wanted to go together. This is indeed the reason. I also think it's good. The master father Yan is a talent, a great talent, and a rare loyalty."
Ying Zheng didn't speak anymore, and Liu Che didn't speak again after finishing speaking. There was a moment of silence.
At this time, someone hurriedly ran over from a distance. It was Gong Sunhong. He ran in a hurry and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. When he arrived, he quickly saluted Liu Che and nodded to Ying Zheng.
Seeing that Gongsun Hong was already old and sweating profusely from running, Liu Che said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Only then did Gong Sunhong say: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Han Anguo, the imperial historian..."
When Liu Che heard Han Anguo's name, he laughed and said half jokingly: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, where did Han Anguo go, and I didn't see him greet him when I came back. Is that how you work?"
Gongsun Hong's expression turned pale for a moment, and he said, "Return to Your Majesty, Doctor Yushi...he can't come."
Hearing what he said, Liu Che seemed to have a premonition of something, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Gongsun Hong said: "Dr. Yu Shi died of illness this morning."
Liu Che looked as usual, but looked at the lake for a long time without saying a word, and said, "Why is it so sudden? Has the imperial doctor seen it?"
Gongsun Hong said: "Return to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has seen it, and the doctor Yushi was in poor health earlier, and he did not report illness. This is... a disease from overwork."
Liu Che nodded, and said: "Han Anguo is a great weapon of the country, a minister with excellent civil and military skills, not only has a good mouth, but also can fight... Do you remember that although he is a peacemaker, he has no eyelids when it comes to fighting the Huns. But never blinked."
After Liu Che finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the lake again. After a long time, he seemed to be recalling, and said, "Han Anguo has worked hard these days when I was out of the palace. Unfortunately, he hasn't seen how I beat the Xiongnu to the ground."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything. Han Anguo started from assisting King Liang, and started as Prime Minister of Liang State. It can be said that it was a moment of glory. Said that he is still a man of knowledge, if not for Tian Fu's recommendation, Han Anguo would not be able to take the position of doctor censor.
As Liu Che said, Han Anguo is a great weapon of the country, and Yingzheng also regretted his talent, so he just disappeared. It's just that he has seen too much life and death, and there are more life and death waiting for him. Gradually, his heart becomes numb up.
Liu Che withdrew his gaze, his face remained unchanged, and said: "I just summoned Wei Qing to the Xuanshi Pavilion, and originally wanted to discuss important matters with Han Anguo, since this is the case...the prime minister will come with me."
When the two arrived at Xuanshi Pavilion, Wei Qinghuo Qubing was already waiting outside, along with Zhao Xin, Su Jian, Li Guang, Zhang Qian and many other generals.
Everyone saluted Liu Che, and Liu Che entered the Xuanshi Pavilion first, followed by the rest of the people.
Liu Che sat down, looked at the people standing in the proclamation room, and said, "I summoned you just after returning to the palace, do you know why? The Huns have been recuperating since the first battle in Heshuo, and I can't wait any longer..."
Liu Che said, looked at Zhang Qian, and said, "Bo Wanghou, you came back from the Western Regions and are familiar with the territory of the Huns, so this time you will join the army."
"promise."
Zhang Qian responded quickly.
Liu Che looked at Xin Zhao again, and said with a smile: "The general recommended Xin Zhao to me before, saying that although he is not well-known, he is brave and good at fighting, and he is very familiar with the Huns' fighting style... Xin Zhao, this time I will let you Be the pioneer, don't let me down."
Xin Zhao quickly raised his head, a little surprised. You must know that combat achievements are calculated according to the number of headcounts. Although the vanguard is dangerous, it is the supreme honor in the eyes of soldiers, and the chance of making meritorious service is also great. He made a name for himself in the military camp, but he has never been a pioneer a few times.
As soon as Li Guang heard that Xin Zhao was the vanguard, he was a little displeased, and said, "Your Majesty, Xin Zhao is a new recruit, a humble general..."
Liu Che raised his hand to signal him to be silent, and said, "I know that General Li also wants to make meritorious deeds to kill the enemy, but among you, only Xin Zhao is the most familiar with the Huns' style of fighting. , can also avoid unnecessary twists and turns, I think this is the best. General Li will give way to Xin Zhao this time, and then you will have the opportunity to charge forward."
The emperor is too old to settle the matter, Li Guang can't compete with the emperor no matter what, and although Li Guang is unwilling, he really thinks that Xin Zhao is the right choice to be the pioneer.
Seeing that Li Guang didn't say anything else, Liu Che smiled and glanced at Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat, wondering if the emperor would let him go to war?
As he was thinking this way, he heard Liu Che say, "I have always supported Qu Bing with a team of Imperial Forest Army. There are only [-] people, but all of them are brave and good at fighting... Qu Bing, do you want to take the [-] Yulin Army with you?" , out of Dingxiang, to fight the Xiongnu."
Huo Qubing was a little surprised, and said: "The humble general will naturally think about it."
Hearing this, Wei Qing frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, although the [-]-feathered forest is brave and good at fighting, Qu Bing is too young after all... I'm afraid that he will be impulsive on the battlefield."
Liu Che said: "The general should not protect Qu Bing, I am willing to let him go out for a while, Qu Bing, I will designate you as Lieutenant Yao Yao, and go out with General Wei Qing."
When Huo Qubing thought that he hadn't been on the battlefield for so many years, and finally could return to the battlefield one day, and still fought against the Huns, his heart was a little tumbling, and he quickly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Liu Che had made up his mind, Wei Qing finally opened his mouth, but made no sound.
Liu Che looked around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Ying Zheng, and said: "The prime minister will follow me to Ganquan Palace to supervise the battle."
As soon as his words fell, everyone was a little surprised. Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Although Shuofang City is already under construction, Shuofang is still the front line bordering the Huns. Although Ganquan Palace is in Being in the Yunling Ten Thousand Mountains is not safe, the closest place to the Xiongnu is only about a hundred miles away, if the Huns suddenly attack, the garrison will have no time to rescue them.”
Liu Che laughed and said: "The general is very thoughtful. No matter how powerful the cavalry of the Huns is, they will not be able to climb the high mountains of Yunling. If the Huns really come, there will be the Huben Camp waiting for them."
As Liu Che spoke, he suppressed his smile and said, "You must know that the soldiers are on the front line to kill the enemy. As the emperor, although I can't share joys and sorrows with them, at least I can go to Ganquan Palace and climb to the top of the city to supervise the battle."
Everyone listened, it was indeed the case. If Liu Che could really come to Ganquan Palace to oversee the battle in person, it would be an encouraging thing for the soldiers.
After Liu Che gave his instructions, he ordered Su Jian and Zhao Xin to lead the troops to leave Dingxiang first. Just after the meeting, a servant came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well. Your Majesty should go over quickly to have a look."
Liu Che was taken aback when he heard this, and his heart sank for a moment. The empress dowager's body was already in a bad state, and this trip did not make her better. Because of the Huainan king's rebellion, the empress dowager's mood became even worse. When I came back, my body was weaker than before.
Liu Che had heard from the imperial doctor a long time ago that the empress dowager might be here for a few days, so Liu Che couldn't wait any longer and wanted to send troops to attack the Huns immediately. You must know that once the empress dowager dies, it will be a national mourning. Not to mention attacking the Huns.
Liu Che hurried to the East Palace, and all the generals came out of the Xuanshi Pavilion and dispersed.
Yingzheng left the Xuanshi Pavilion. Apart from being the prime minister, he was also the prince's teacher. Naturally, Yingzheng didn't forget this and went to the prince's school.
The little prince Liu Ju was sitting in the dormitory studying obediently. What Ying Zheng didn't expect was that Wei Zifu was also there.
The little prince hasn't seen Ying Zheng for a long time. When he saw Ying Zheng, he immediately jumped up from his seat and ran over. The little prince grabbed Ying Zheng's lapel and said with a smile: "The master is finally back. Read a lot of books."
Ying Zheng pinched Liu Ju's fleshy little cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "The prince seems to have grown taller."
Liu Ju patted his small chest and said, "Ji'er is a man now, of course he has grown taller."
Ying Zheng was amused by him, it seemed that there was something different about Liu Ju, he could dispel the cloud of government and political power, and gave Ying Zheng a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds.
After hearing a few words, Ying Zheng and Liu raised their heads and saluted Wei Zifu.
Wei Zifu didn't want to talk to Ying Zheng, but he wanted to ask Ying Zheng about the tour. After all, he didn't go on the tour, and he didn't know if the emperor found any new beauties along the way.
The harem was too peaceful, so peaceful that Wei Zifu felt uneasy.
Wei Zifu smiled and said: "The prime minister has really worked hard, and he has to teach Juer to assist the emperor."
Listening to her kind tone, Ying Zheng knew what Wei Zifu was thinking, and said with a smile: "The empress has praised her so much, and the humble minister is terrified."
Wei Zifu fanned the feather fan lightly, and at the same time made a gesture of chatting and chatting, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, sit down, sit down quickly."
Yingzheng stretched out his sleeves and sat down, and heard Wei Zifu say: "The prime minister is Ju'er's teacher, so he is not an outsider. I don't even think of the prime minister as an outsider. You must not see outsiders."
Ying Zheng just smiled inexplicably and didn't speak.
Wei Zifu said: "The emperor has been away on this tour for several months. My son and I are in the palace, and my son is clamoring to see the father every day, but in this emperor's family, it is not so easy to meet a father... Your Majesty is busy with various affairs, and after he comes back, he will deal with the affairs of state, and I don’t know if he has forgotten me and Ju’er.”
Wei Zifu talked in a twist and turn, and finally got to the point, and said: "I just want to ask the prime minister, did the emperor see any beauties on this journey? Actually, there is no other meaning. If the emperor really likes a girl, so as not to let the emperor worry about it, I will take care of it, right?"
Hearing what she said was so virtuous, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sneered.
Wei Zifu was a little surprised, and said, "Why are you laughing, Prime Minister?"
Ying Zheng said: "The empress was just saying that she doesn't regard the humble minister as an outsider, how can she talk like this?"
"This……"
Wei Zifu laughed dryly and said, "Why are you seeing outsiders?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "The queen's mother is respected all over the world, but in the final analysis, she is also a woman. How can a woman want her husband to favor others? The queen just wants to ask the humble minister, is there another new addition to the court?" People, why do you have to go around in circles?"
Wei Zifu couldn't laugh anymore, although everyone knew this, but it was fine if he knew it, once he said it, it would be too embarrassing for her.
Ying Zheng said: "Actually, the empress doesn't have to worry about whether the emperor has another woman..."
Wei Zifu was a little curious when he heard what he said, but he couldn't bear to ask. Fortunately, Ying Zheng didn't let her ask, and continued: "No matter how many women there are in the emperor's harem, the emperor's dragon veins are only the prince Liu Shi. one……"
Ying Zheng said, with a disdainful smile on his face, he said: "The most important thing for the empress is to... clear your position. Since you can't give birth to a son for the emperor, why don't you take care of him wholeheartedly?" What about Prince Liu Shi? Don't wait until the Empress Empress wants to take care of her, otherwise she won't have this chance."
Wei Zifu's face was completely gloomy when he heard this, and he subconsciously glanced at Liu Shi who was nestled in Ying Zheng's arms, and said, "Ji'er, go out and play for a while, don't run away, do you hear me?"
Liu Ju didn't understand what they were talking about, he was very attached to Ying Zheng, Wei Zifu asked him to go out, he was a little reluctant, but seeing that Wei Zifu didn't seem to be joking, after all, he was a child, he was a little scared, so he agreed With a sound, he ran out in a bumpy manner.
Seeing that Liu Ju had gone out, Wei Zifu said coldly, "What does Prime Minister mean?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I understand what I mean...Liu Ju is Empress Chen's son, who was later adopted by Empress Empress. This kind of thing is well known. Empress Empress is afraid that Liu Ju will grow up. After all, it is not my own, and when the time comes, I will gradually become estranged from myself. It's just...has the empress thought that the emperor's attitude as long as Liu Zheng is a prince is already obvious. Apart from doting on Liu Shi, you have other ways to choose. Is it?"
Wei Zifu's face turned green and pale, and every word Ying Zheng said hit her wound. Wei Zifu wanted to give birth to a son for Liu Che, but the emperor didn't want another son. As Ying Zheng said, she was most worried The only thing is that as Liu Zheng grows bigger, he becomes more and more unfamiliar with himself, and by that time he will be a tiger.
Ying Zheng looked at her expression, and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't speak, it means that the humble minister is right... Queen Empress, you must remember that you have no choice but to be a smart person, keep Liu Shi, and survive until the end." If the head is turned, the queen will become the empress dowager, and if she is lucky, she will be as glorious as empress dowager Dou."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to go out.
Wei Zi's hands trembled angrily, and he shouted: "Chen Yu, who are you talking to, it's too presumptuous!"
Ying Zheng stopped, without even turning his head, and said coldly, "I just didn't treat the empress as an outsider, so I just said something straight."
Wei Zifu sneered after hearing this, and said, "Chen Yu, even if Ju'er becomes the crown prince, what good can he do for you? Liu Ju's uncle is General Wei Qing, not you!"
Ying Zheng's breath was suffocated, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes. Although Ying Zheng didn't want to admit it, maybe this was a blood relationship. As long as Liu Juyi acted like a baby with him, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he couldn't harden his heart.
Wei Zifu was right, Ying Zheng was indeed not his uncle, because the relationship between Ying Zheng and Liu Shi was even closer, no one would believe this matter if he told it to anyone.
When Ying Zheng came out, Liu Ju was standing in the flowers next to the school building and kicking stones. When he saw Ying Zheng, he ran over immediately, grabbed his clothes, and said, "Master, are you leaving now?"
Ying Zheng bent down, patted Liu Shi on the head, and said with a smile, "Of course not, I'm here to find Shi and go back to study."
When Liu Ju heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and when he smiled, his chubby little face was lined with dimples, and Ying Zheng led him back to the dormitory.
Wei Zifu saw Liu Ju and Ying Zheng's closeness, and felt that his worry was correct. Ying Zheng was just Liu Ju's uncle, and the relationship was so close. If it went on for a long time, he would definitely listen to others' provocation , turned against himself.
Wei Zifu didn't want to see Ying Zheng again, he stood up, his face was pale, and he left thoughtfully.
Ying Zheng taught Liu Ju to study, had lunch with Liu Ju in the dormitory at noon, and read for a while in the afternoon. Liu Ju was writing, but his ears were so sharp that he heard someone as soon as he came in.
As soon as Liu Ju looked up, he saw Liu Che walking in. He immediately threw away the pen and ran over to plunge it into Liu Che's arms. Liu Che was also happy to see his son, picked him up, held him up, and said with a smile: It's sinking."
Liu Ju said with a smile: "Before, the master said that the son has become taller."
Liu Che followed Liu Ju's pointing, glanced at Ying Zheng, and smiled at Liu Ju: "It seems that he is indeed taller, and Ju'er has grown up."
Liu Che put Liu Ju down and asked him to continue writing, then sat down next to Ying Zheng, sighed, and seemed very tired.
Ying Zheng glanced at him, but did not speak. Liu Che sat for a while, and suddenly leaned sideways against Ying Zheng.
Yingzheng felt his body sinking, and Liu Che leaned his weight on himself, only to hear Liu Che say: "Just now I went to the East Palace, the Empress Dowager may not be here for long, the soldiers to fight the Xiongnu have already been sent out, I just heard Liu Che say: "I just went to the East Palace. He also summoned the Lord Father Yan and asked him to be the Prime Minister of Qi State and give me some political power. Gong Sunhong also added chaos to me, and just told me that Shandong Dashui, 70 victims of disasters, are using money everywhere The place……"
As Liu Che said, he closed his eyes, as if he was going to take a nap by relying on Ying Zheng, but he just said: "Think about it for me, what else has not been done, what has been missed."
Ying Zheng said: "Wars require money, people's livelihood also requires money, and natural disasters and man-made disasters all require money. It is far from enough for the emperor to rely on donations from princes, kings and merchants..."
"Oh?" Liu Che said without opening his eyes, "According to you, how can I make money?"
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "It will be a great benefit to bring the rights and interests of salt and iron wine to the state. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liu Che laughed and said, "Okay, this is a good idea, the Prime Minister is really a good wife."
When Ying Zheng heard him say the words "virtuous housemate", his whole body froze for a moment, and then he slowly relaxed. Liu Che didn't feel that he had said something wrong. Liu Che was resting against Ying Zheng while he was writing. There was no sound in the Time School, and after a while, Liu Che really fell asleep.
With Wei Qing as the commander, the army set out from Dingxiang and marched towards the interior of the Xiongnu, but the battle was not as easy as Liu Che imagined.
The Huns have learned the previous lessons and learned how powerful Wei Qing is, so they try to avoid contact with the main force of the Han army. The Huns rely on their own cavalry to be good at running, and implement a roundabout strategy with the Han army.
It was difficult for everyone in Wei Qing to catch the Huns, let alone a large-scale battle.
Wei Qing was a little anxious, the emperor's royal driver would soon go to Ganquan Palace to supervise the battle, if there was no victory report sent to Ganquan Palace, even if the emperor came to supervise the battle, it would not be able to boost morale.
Li Guangdao: "The Huns are evasive. I'm tired of this kind of small army. I can't see a single person in a hundred miles. General, if we continue to waste like this, there is no way. The baggage troops all eat food. .”
Wei Qing frowned and said, "General Li is right, we can't go on like this."
Li Guangdao: "We should sweep down like a carpet, no matter where the Huns are distributed, drive them together to fight!"
Wei Qing looked at Zhang Qian and said, "Bo Wanghou thinks, if the soldiers separate, where is the best place to meet up?"
Zhang Qian walked up to the map, thought for a while, pointed to a point on the map, and said, "Of course it is in front of Que'er Lake. The general might as well divide the team into two groups, start hunting from both sides of Que'er Lake, and send the Huns to the lake." Drive together, and when the time comes, the two armies will join forces, and avoid the danger of being too scattered and being defeated by the enemy one by one."
Wei Qing said: "As Bo Wanghou said, Zhao Xin and Su Jian are the vanguard troops, and General Li Guang is responsible for the safety of the large troops."
Li Guang opened his mouth, he wanted to fight for the opportunity to be a pioneer, but he still swallowed the words in his stomach.
Everyone led the order and prepared to rectify and set off immediately.
Seeing that Wei Qing had finished giving orders, Huo Qubing started to study the map with Zhang Qian again, leaned over and said, "Uncle, what about me? I can also play the vanguard."
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Would Captain Yao want to use [-] cavalry to fight the vanguard?"
Huo Qubing said: "Marquis Bowang, don't underestimate these [-] cavalry, they are not only good-looking, but also useful."
Wei Qing said: "Follow me, don't run around, since the emperor ordered you to go out, you are now my soldier, and you can only act according to orders, do you hear me?"
Huo Qubing felt a little unwilling, thinking that he was invincible on the battlefield, and the feeling of returning to the battlefield was both excited and restless, the kind of throbbing buried in his blood, which Huo Qubing hadn't experienced for many years.
Huo Qubing had long wanted to lead the army to fight in the vanguard, and he was probably even more eager than Li Guang.It's just that in Wei Qing's eyes, Huo Qubing is a young man, and he is still very frizzy.
Seeing this, Bo Wanghou said with a smile: "General, let me see, if you don't let Captain Yao do something today, he will turn over all the military accounts."
Wei Qing sighed, Bo Wanghou naturally knew what he was thinking, and said: "The treasured sword is always hidden, and it will eventually rust. If the general doesn't show it, how will he know how powerful it is?"
Wei Qing glanced at Huo Qubing, and said: "Bo Wanghou has spoken to you, you go, remember you can only bring 800 people with you, don't go too far, Que'er Lake and the army will meet."
Huo Qubing's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, General."
After saying that, he turned around immediately, opened the curtain with a "crash", walked out of the camp, got on his horse, took his eight hundred cavalry, and set off after a while.
Liu Che's royal driver went to Ganquan Palace to supervise the battle, and Wei Zifu wanted to follow him, saying: "Your Majesty, you don't know how long it will take you to come back after you go, so let the concubine go together, although the concubine can't help much, But it will definitely not add to the chaos.”
Liu Che said: "I'm going to supervise the battle, and I'm taking you to do something, let's not talk about whether it will cause trouble or not. The soldiers went to the front to kill the enemy, and none of them brought their family members with them."
Wei Zifu saw that Liu Che couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "I know, it's just...it's just that I haven't been able to properly accompany the emperor for a long time. The emperor works day and night on state affairs, so he rarely comes to Jiaofang Palace."
Wei Zifu said so, and smiled tentatively: "The emperor will leave for Ganquan Palace tomorrow, and I will stay with my concubine today, okay?"
Liu Che's time to visit Jiaofang Hall is indeed getting less and less, and he knows it himself, so he came to appease Wei Zifu, saying: "I have something to tell the ministers later, I will accompany you now, and I will go soon Xuan Shi Pavilion."
Seeing this, Wei Zifu said: "Your Majesty, don't be too tired. If you are tired, you might as well talk to my concubine. Ah, yes, you can also talk to Ji'er...Ji'er has read a lot now, just...just not Too talkative, after all, as a boy, he doesn't like to play with other girls, Qu Bing also went to the battlefield, so..."
Before she could finish her sentence, seeing Liu Che's complexion turned ugly, Wei Zifu subconsciously shut up.
Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu coldly, and said, "I have been looking for an opportunity to tell you that after all, you are also Ju'er's mother, and I want to make Ju'er the crown prince. After the fight against the Huns is over for the time being, I will establish Liu Che as the crown prince." According to the prince."
Wei Zifu was so startled that he couldn't even hold his feather fan steady, and fell to the ground with a "crack", quickly put away his shocked face, replaced it with joy, and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty...is this incident too sudden? My son is... only seven years old, too young."
"Not too small."
Liu Che interrupted her and said, "In my heart, he is the crown prince. Naturally, I want to train him from an early age so that he understands his status."
Liu Che said, paused, looked at Wei Zifu, and sighed: "Zifu, do you know that when you were a court lady, I thought you were very caring. Among all my court ladies, Only you are the best, do you know why?"
When Wei Zifu heard Liu Che suddenly talk about the past, he felt a little bad in his heart, so he said bravely, "Concubine... I don't know."
Liu Che said: "Because you are the most responsible, you don't cause trouble, you don't climb high, and you act and speak the most gentle. Back then, I was thinking, maybe you are a good mother, right, Zifu?"
Wei Zifu's face was a little pale, he nodded quickly, and said: "I have always wanted to be a good mother, but I was afraid that I would not be good enough for my son, so I... also doted on my son, inevitably a little spoiled... Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Liu Che said with a smile: "It's okay, I just want you to spoil him, I just want everyone to know that I spoil Liu Shi, and he is the future prince."
Wei Zifu's complexion was even worse, and he felt a little trembling in his heart. It seemed that everything was hit by Ying Zheng's words, and he had no choice.
After Liu Che finished speaking, he said, "Okay, I still have things to do, so you don't have to come see me off tomorrow. Think about what I said."
Wei Zifu thumped in his heart, although the emperor didn't make it clear what to ask her to think about, but the words couldn't be more obvious, as long as anyone with an open mind can understand.
What Liu Che meant was that Wei Zifu's duty was what he valued at the beginning. If Wei Zifu didn't do his duty, he would lose his own role...
"No... concubine to send to the emperor."
"No need to send it off." Liu Che left the Jiaofang Hall without letting Wei Zifu move.
Liu Che's imperial driver set off early the next morning. There were more than 1000 Yulin guards at Ganquan Palace, so Liu Che's imperial driver chose to travel lightly and did not go to war. Ying Zheng accompanied them to Ganquan Palace.
When Liu Che stepped into the main hall of Ganquan Palace, he felt a little emotional. Since the Huns occupied the Heshuo Grassland, Liu Che had never been here again. The Ganquan Palace has been renovated and everything is newly built, but the layout has not changed. As Liu Che vaguely remembered.
Liu Che led Ying Zheng into the hall, and Ying Zheng was taken aback when he saw the portrait hanging in the hall at first sight.
Liu Che looked at Ying Zheng with a smile, and said, "How is it, does the painting still look like it?"
The person in the painting is not someone, but it is seven or eight points similar to Ying Zheng, except that the person in the painting is a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance, which is not quite the same as Ying Zheng's tall and handsome.
The person in the painting is undoubtedly Empress Chen...
Ying Zheng didn't know why Liu Che wanted to hang the portrait of the empress dowager in Ganquan Palace, and he didn't answer Liu Che's question, nor did Liu Che intend to ask him to answer.
Not long after the two of them entered the hall, a soldier came in suddenly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the frontline military newspaper."
Liu Che laughed immediately after hearing this, and said, "It must be Wei Qing's good news for me."
The soldier put up the bamboo slip with both hands, Liu Che opened it up and looked at it for a few times, then suddenly put on a straight face, and smashed the bamboo slip on the table with a "slap".
The soldier trembled in fright from Liu Che, and hurriedly retreated with his head bowed.
Liu Che's eyes turned hard, and he said, "Xin Zhao rebelled... the king of Xiongnu gave him the position of king from now on. Xin Zhao, the vanguard, killed Su Jian, and took his troops to join the Xiongnu again."
Ying Zheng was not too surprised when he heard this. After all, a person can defect from the Huns to the Han, so it is naturally possible to defect to the Huns. This is also an unreasonable thing, but it is also expected.
Liu Che squeezed the bamboo slips and said, "More than that, Huo Qubing and his [-] cavalry are also... life or death is uncertain."
Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, Liu Che picked up the bamboo slips and signaled Ying Zheng to look at them, Ying Zheng quickly took them and unfolded them. Sure enough, as Liu Che said, Huo Qubing took his [-] cavalry all the way to the north, and he was not with the army. Que'er Lake converges, and life and death are still uncertain.
Yingzheng was flustered for a while, after all, among the big men, only Huo Qubing was left with the same illness as him.
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although Huo Qubing is young, he has his own style of play. The eight hundred cavalry are carefully trained, so they won't be so vulnerable."
Liu Che said: "That's the only way I think. Although Xin Zhao's troops are not enough to be feared, but during his time in the Han army, he is already familiar with the internal affairs of the Han army. Xin Zhao's defection will pose a threat to the Han army. Still big."
Ying Zheng sneered, and said: "Xin Zhao is such a villain, there is nothing to be afraid of. He has surrendered twice, and the Huns are so jealous and suspicious. Even if he is reused for a while, it is impossible to reuse him for a lifetime. Just use a little plan If you provoke him from the middle, the King of the Huns will cut off Xin Zhao's head with his own hands."
Liu Che said: "Now I can only hope that nothing will happen to Qubing."
As soon as Liu Che's words fell, the soldier who went out just now hurried back, held a scroll of bamboo slips in both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, there is another urgent report!"
Liu Che took over the bamboo slips, which were still sent from the front line. Thinking about it, he must have been in a hurry.
Liu Che unfolded it, his face was filled with joy, and he said with a smile, "It's a good job to get sick, I didn't let me see you wrong!"
Zhao Xin killed Su Jian and led the troops to surrender to the Xiongnu. When Wei Qing and Li Guang's army arrived at Que'er Lake, they disappeared and sent people to look for them. The soldiers who came back said that only part of the Han army was killed, and the rest had disappeared. Surrender.
Wei Qing was furious at the time, and later someone reported that Captain Yao had not been prostituted. Wei Qing's heart trembled unavoidably, thinking that maybe Huo Qubing had encountered the rebellious Xin Zhao's troops.Immediately ordered to send a team to search for Huo Qubing's whereabouts.
This battle was unexpectedly defeated, and Wei Qing was under a lot of pressure. Yu Jia had already arrived at Ganquan Palace, and he had to write a military report to report the matter. After all, it was not a trivial matter, and it could not be suppressed.
It's just that just after the military newspaper was sent out, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and Li Guang broke in suddenly, laughing and saying, "General, look who's back!"
Before Wei Qing had time to speak, people outside had already opened the curtain and walked in. It was undoubtedly Huo Qubing who was holding the helmet.
When Wei Qing got excited, he immediately took two steps forward, held Huo Qubing's shoulder, and looked him up and down. Seeing that Huo Qubing only had some minor wounds on the outside of the skin. Where did you go, why didn't you join the army?"
Li Guang said with a smile: "General, don't be so busy prostitution Yao Xiaowei, this is a person who has made great achievements!"
Huo Qubing pulled Wei Qing out of the big tent, it was already dark, outside were [-] cavalrymen riding on horseback, each with a torch in their hand, they rolled down, as if they were going to burn the night, it was very spectacular.
Pieces of captives were connected by ropes, and many of them were well-dressed, and they were remarkable figures at first glance.
Huo Qubing had a somewhat smug look on his face, he looked at Wei Qing with bright eyes illuminated by the fire, and said with a smile: "Please tell me, the general, the number of prisoners and the number of heads here."
Wei Qing looked at Huo Qubing's lacquer-like eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly withdrew his gaze, concealed his emotions, patted Huo Qubing's back, and said with a smile: "Good boy, eight hundred horses, you actually let him You have done a great job."
Li Guangdao: "General, don't hurry up and write the military newspaper again. This is a great contribution to mobilizing the whole army. Xin Zhao, the little bastard who rebelled, has all been brought back by the prostitute Captain Yao, and there is more than enough!"
Wei Qing asked Bo Wanghou to write another military report immediately, and sent someone to rush it to Ganquan Palace.
Huo Qubing dismounted all his soldiers and guarded the prisoners.
After Wei Qing and the others dispersed, he said to Huo Qubing, "Are you injured? Don't be brave."
Huo Qubing smiled and said: "What kind of injury can you suffer? It's all skin trauma. It's not a problem at all. We crossed Que'er Lake to the west, and there happened to be a big camp of the royal court there. It’s so satisfying to clean up.”
As Huo Qubing spoke, he followed Wei Qing into the big tent. Wei Qing wet a cloth towel, asked Huo Qubing to sit down, and said, "There is nothing more particular about being in the military camp than in the palace. Wipe the dirt on your wound, and then apply some medicine. Don't fall behind." The root of the disease."
Huo Qubing was still immersed in the joy of the big victory, this kind of joy made him extremely excited, and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't take the medicine."
Wei Qing ignored him and said, "Extend your hand."
Huo Qubing honestly stretched out his hand, and Wei Qing wiped off the dust on his arm. There were some bloody scars beside the wound, and some bright red blood, which seemed to be cracked without paying attention.
He said, smiling at Ying Zheng: "I have already thought about who to go to Qi to be the country's prime minister... This person has worked with you before."
Seeing his determined expression, Ying Zheng immediately understood the candidate in Liu Che's heart. This person is not afraid of going against the grain. I'm afraid it's not a very good candidate.
Yingzheng's mind changed, but he didn't say it out. After all, Liu Che had already made up his mind. Even if he disagreed, it would only annoy Liu Che. If someone opposed him, as a king, he might have to insist on going his own way to prove his worth. The decision is right.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Che smiled and said, "Didn't the prime minister guess that it's the master father Yan?"
Ying Zheng smiled, and he guessed right.
Ying Zheng said: "My father Yan is a talented person with a good eloquence, and he will not be flashy. His Tweeting Order is a great contribution. Let him be the Prime Minister of Qi State, and he will not be blamed."
Liu Che said: "Sure enough, the two of us wanted to go together. This is indeed the reason. I also think it's good. The master father Yan is a talent, a great talent, and a rare loyalty."
Ying Zheng didn't speak anymore, and Liu Che didn't speak again after finishing speaking. There was a moment of silence.
At this time, someone hurriedly ran over from a distance. It was Gong Sunhong. He ran in a hurry and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. When he arrived, he quickly saluted Liu Che and nodded to Ying Zheng.
Seeing that Gongsun Hong was already old and sweating profusely from running, Liu Che said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Only then did Gong Sunhong say: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Han Anguo, the imperial historian..."
When Liu Che heard Han Anguo's name, he laughed and said half jokingly: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, where did Han Anguo go, and I didn't see him greet him when I came back. Is that how you work?"
Gongsun Hong's expression turned pale for a moment, and he said, "Return to Your Majesty, Doctor Yushi...he can't come."
Hearing what he said, Liu Che seemed to have a premonition of something, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Gongsun Hong said: "Dr. Yu Shi died of illness this morning."
Liu Che looked as usual, but looked at the lake for a long time without saying a word, and said, "Why is it so sudden? Has the imperial doctor seen it?"
Gongsun Hong said: "Return to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has seen it, and the doctor Yushi was in poor health earlier, and he did not report illness. This is... a disease from overwork."
Liu Che nodded, and said: "Han Anguo is a great weapon of the country, a minister with excellent civil and military skills, not only has a good mouth, but also can fight... Do you remember that although he is a peacemaker, he has no eyelids when it comes to fighting the Huns. But never blinked."
After Liu Che finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the lake again. After a long time, he seemed to be recalling, and said, "Han Anguo has worked hard these days when I was out of the palace. Unfortunately, he hasn't seen how I beat the Xiongnu to the ground."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything. Han Anguo started from assisting King Liang, and started as Prime Minister of Liang State. It can be said that it was a moment of glory. Said that he is still a man of knowledge, if not for Tian Fu's recommendation, Han Anguo would not be able to take the position of doctor censor.
As Liu Che said, Han Anguo is a great weapon of the country, and Yingzheng also regretted his talent, so he just disappeared. It's just that he has seen too much life and death, and there are more life and death waiting for him. Gradually, his heart becomes numb up.
Liu Che withdrew his gaze, his face remained unchanged, and said: "I just summoned Wei Qing to the Xuanshi Pavilion, and originally wanted to discuss important matters with Han Anguo, since this is the case...the prime minister will come with me."
When the two arrived at Xuanshi Pavilion, Wei Qinghuo Qubing was already waiting outside, along with Zhao Xin, Su Jian, Li Guang, Zhang Qian and many other generals.
Everyone saluted Liu Che, and Liu Che entered the Xuanshi Pavilion first, followed by the rest of the people.
Liu Che sat down, looked at the people standing in the proclamation room, and said, "I summoned you just after returning to the palace, do you know why? The Huns have been recuperating since the first battle in Heshuo, and I can't wait any longer..."
Liu Che said, looked at Zhang Qian, and said, "Bo Wanghou, you came back from the Western Regions and are familiar with the territory of the Huns, so this time you will join the army."
"promise."
Zhang Qian responded quickly.
Liu Che looked at Xin Zhao again, and said with a smile: "The general recommended Xin Zhao to me before, saying that although he is not well-known, he is brave and good at fighting, and he is very familiar with the Huns' fighting style... Xin Zhao, this time I will let you Be the pioneer, don't let me down."
Xin Zhao quickly raised his head, a little surprised. You must know that combat achievements are calculated according to the number of headcounts. Although the vanguard is dangerous, it is the supreme honor in the eyes of soldiers, and the chance of making meritorious service is also great. He made a name for himself in the military camp, but he has never been a pioneer a few times.
As soon as Li Guang heard that Xin Zhao was the vanguard, he was a little displeased, and said, "Your Majesty, Xin Zhao is a new recruit, a humble general..."
Liu Che raised his hand to signal him to be silent, and said, "I know that General Li also wants to make meritorious deeds to kill the enemy, but among you, only Xin Zhao is the most familiar with the Huns' style of fighting. , can also avoid unnecessary twists and turns, I think this is the best. General Li will give way to Xin Zhao this time, and then you will have the opportunity to charge forward."
The emperor is too old to settle the matter, Li Guang can't compete with the emperor no matter what, and although Li Guang is unwilling, he really thinks that Xin Zhao is the right choice to be the pioneer.
Seeing that Li Guang didn't say anything else, Liu Che smiled and glanced at Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat, wondering if the emperor would let him go to war?
As he was thinking this way, he heard Liu Che say, "I have always supported Qu Bing with a team of Imperial Forest Army. There are only [-] people, but all of them are brave and good at fighting... Qu Bing, do you want to take the [-] Yulin Army with you?" , out of Dingxiang, to fight the Xiongnu."
Huo Qubing was a little surprised, and said: "The humble general will naturally think about it."
Hearing this, Wei Qing frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, although the [-]-feathered forest is brave and good at fighting, Qu Bing is too young after all... I'm afraid that he will be impulsive on the battlefield."
Liu Che said: "The general should not protect Qu Bing, I am willing to let him go out for a while, Qu Bing, I will designate you as Lieutenant Yao Yao, and go out with General Wei Qing."
When Huo Qubing thought that he hadn't been on the battlefield for so many years, and finally could return to the battlefield one day, and still fought against the Huns, his heart was a little tumbling, and he quickly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Liu Che had made up his mind, Wei Qing finally opened his mouth, but made no sound.
Liu Che looked around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Ying Zheng, and said: "The prime minister will follow me to Ganquan Palace to supervise the battle."
As soon as his words fell, everyone was a little surprised. Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Although Shuofang City is already under construction, Shuofang is still the front line bordering the Huns. Although Ganquan Palace is in Being in the Yunling Ten Thousand Mountains is not safe, the closest place to the Xiongnu is only about a hundred miles away, if the Huns suddenly attack, the garrison will have no time to rescue them.”
Liu Che laughed and said: "The general is very thoughtful. No matter how powerful the cavalry of the Huns is, they will not be able to climb the high mountains of Yunling. If the Huns really come, there will be the Huben Camp waiting for them."
As Liu Che spoke, he suppressed his smile and said, "You must know that the soldiers are on the front line to kill the enemy. As the emperor, although I can't share joys and sorrows with them, at least I can go to Ganquan Palace and climb to the top of the city to supervise the battle."
Everyone listened, it was indeed the case. If Liu Che could really come to Ganquan Palace to oversee the battle in person, it would be an encouraging thing for the soldiers.
After Liu Che gave his instructions, he ordered Su Jian and Zhao Xin to lead the troops to leave Dingxiang first. Just after the meeting, a servant came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well. Your Majesty should go over quickly to have a look."
Liu Che was taken aback when he heard this, and his heart sank for a moment. The empress dowager's body was already in a bad state, and this trip did not make her better. Because of the Huainan king's rebellion, the empress dowager's mood became even worse. When I came back, my body was weaker than before.
Liu Che had heard from the imperial doctor a long time ago that the empress dowager might be here for a few days, so Liu Che couldn't wait any longer and wanted to send troops to attack the Huns immediately. You must know that once the empress dowager dies, it will be a national mourning. Not to mention attacking the Huns.
Liu Che hurried to the East Palace, and all the generals came out of the Xuanshi Pavilion and dispersed.
Yingzheng left the Xuanshi Pavilion. Apart from being the prime minister, he was also the prince's teacher. Naturally, Yingzheng didn't forget this and went to the prince's school.
The little prince Liu Ju was sitting in the dormitory studying obediently. What Ying Zheng didn't expect was that Wei Zifu was also there.
The little prince hasn't seen Ying Zheng for a long time. When he saw Ying Zheng, he immediately jumped up from his seat and ran over. The little prince grabbed Ying Zheng's lapel and said with a smile: "The master is finally back. Read a lot of books."
Ying Zheng pinched Liu Ju's fleshy little cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "The prince seems to have grown taller."
Liu Ju patted his small chest and said, "Ji'er is a man now, of course he has grown taller."
Ying Zheng was amused by him, it seemed that there was something different about Liu Ju, he could dispel the cloud of government and political power, and gave Ying Zheng a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds.
After hearing a few words, Ying Zheng and Liu raised their heads and saluted Wei Zifu.
Wei Zifu didn't want to talk to Ying Zheng, but he wanted to ask Ying Zheng about the tour. After all, he didn't go on the tour, and he didn't know if the emperor found any new beauties along the way.
The harem was too peaceful, so peaceful that Wei Zifu felt uneasy.
Wei Zifu smiled and said: "The prime minister has really worked hard, and he has to teach Juer to assist the emperor."
Listening to her kind tone, Ying Zheng knew what Wei Zifu was thinking, and said with a smile: "The empress has praised her so much, and the humble minister is terrified."
Wei Zifu fanned the feather fan lightly, and at the same time made a gesture of chatting and chatting, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, sit down, sit down quickly."
Yingzheng stretched out his sleeves and sat down, and heard Wei Zifu say: "The prime minister is Ju'er's teacher, so he is not an outsider. I don't even think of the prime minister as an outsider. You must not see outsiders."
Ying Zheng just smiled inexplicably and didn't speak.
Wei Zifu said: "The emperor has been away on this tour for several months. My son and I are in the palace, and my son is clamoring to see the father every day, but in this emperor's family, it is not so easy to meet a father... Your Majesty is busy with various affairs, and after he comes back, he will deal with the affairs of state, and I don’t know if he has forgotten me and Ju’er.”
Wei Zifu talked in a twist and turn, and finally got to the point, and said: "I just want to ask the prime minister, did the emperor see any beauties on this journey? Actually, there is no other meaning. If the emperor really likes a girl, so as not to let the emperor worry about it, I will take care of it, right?"
Hearing what she said was so virtuous, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sneered.
Wei Zifu was a little surprised, and said, "Why are you laughing, Prime Minister?"
Ying Zheng said: "The empress was just saying that she doesn't regard the humble minister as an outsider, how can she talk like this?"
"This……"
Wei Zifu laughed dryly and said, "Why are you seeing outsiders?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "The queen's mother is respected all over the world, but in the final analysis, she is also a woman. How can a woman want her husband to favor others? The queen just wants to ask the humble minister, is there another new addition to the court?" People, why do you have to go around in circles?"
Wei Zifu couldn't laugh anymore, although everyone knew this, but it was fine if he knew it, once he said it, it would be too embarrassing for her.
Ying Zheng said: "Actually, the empress doesn't have to worry about whether the emperor has another woman..."
Wei Zifu was a little curious when he heard what he said, but he couldn't bear to ask. Fortunately, Ying Zheng didn't let her ask, and continued: "No matter how many women there are in the emperor's harem, the emperor's dragon veins are only the prince Liu Shi. one……"
Ying Zheng said, with a disdainful smile on his face, he said: "The most important thing for the empress is to... clear your position. Since you can't give birth to a son for the emperor, why don't you take care of him wholeheartedly?" What about Prince Liu Shi? Don't wait until the Empress Empress wants to take care of her, otherwise she won't have this chance."
Wei Zifu's face was completely gloomy when he heard this, and he subconsciously glanced at Liu Shi who was nestled in Ying Zheng's arms, and said, "Ji'er, go out and play for a while, don't run away, do you hear me?"
Liu Ju didn't understand what they were talking about, he was very attached to Ying Zheng, Wei Zifu asked him to go out, he was a little reluctant, but seeing that Wei Zifu didn't seem to be joking, after all, he was a child, he was a little scared, so he agreed With a sound, he ran out in a bumpy manner.
Seeing that Liu Ju had gone out, Wei Zifu said coldly, "What does Prime Minister mean?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I understand what I mean...Liu Ju is Empress Chen's son, who was later adopted by Empress Empress. This kind of thing is well known. Empress Empress is afraid that Liu Ju will grow up. After all, it is not my own, and when the time comes, I will gradually become estranged from myself. It's just...has the empress thought that the emperor's attitude as long as Liu Zheng is a prince is already obvious. Apart from doting on Liu Shi, you have other ways to choose. Is it?"
Wei Zifu's face turned green and pale, and every word Ying Zheng said hit her wound. Wei Zifu wanted to give birth to a son for Liu Che, but the emperor didn't want another son. As Ying Zheng said, she was most worried The only thing is that as Liu Zheng grows bigger, he becomes more and more unfamiliar with himself, and by that time he will be a tiger.
Ying Zheng looked at her expression, and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't speak, it means that the humble minister is right... Queen Empress, you must remember that you have no choice but to be a smart person, keep Liu Shi, and survive until the end." If the head is turned, the queen will become the empress dowager, and if she is lucky, she will be as glorious as empress dowager Dou."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to go out.
Wei Zi's hands trembled angrily, and he shouted: "Chen Yu, who are you talking to, it's too presumptuous!"
Ying Zheng stopped, without even turning his head, and said coldly, "I just didn't treat the empress as an outsider, so I just said something straight."
Wei Zifu sneered after hearing this, and said, "Chen Yu, even if Ju'er becomes the crown prince, what good can he do for you? Liu Ju's uncle is General Wei Qing, not you!"
Ying Zheng's breath was suffocated, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes. Although Ying Zheng didn't want to admit it, maybe this was a blood relationship. As long as Liu Juyi acted like a baby with him, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he couldn't harden his heart.
Wei Zifu was right, Ying Zheng was indeed not his uncle, because the relationship between Ying Zheng and Liu Shi was even closer, no one would believe this matter if he told it to anyone.
When Ying Zheng came out, Liu Ju was standing in the flowers next to the school building and kicking stones. When he saw Ying Zheng, he ran over immediately, grabbed his clothes, and said, "Master, are you leaving now?"
Ying Zheng bent down, patted Liu Shi on the head, and said with a smile, "Of course not, I'm here to find Shi and go back to study."
When Liu Ju heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and when he smiled, his chubby little face was lined with dimples, and Ying Zheng led him back to the dormitory.
Wei Zifu saw Liu Ju and Ying Zheng's closeness, and felt that his worry was correct. Ying Zheng was just Liu Ju's uncle, and the relationship was so close. If it went on for a long time, he would definitely listen to others' provocation , turned against himself.
Wei Zifu didn't want to see Ying Zheng again, he stood up, his face was pale, and he left thoughtfully.
Ying Zheng taught Liu Ju to study, had lunch with Liu Ju in the dormitory at noon, and read for a while in the afternoon. Liu Ju was writing, but his ears were so sharp that he heard someone as soon as he came in.
As soon as Liu Ju looked up, he saw Liu Che walking in. He immediately threw away the pen and ran over to plunge it into Liu Che's arms. Liu Che was also happy to see his son, picked him up, held him up, and said with a smile: It's sinking."
Liu Ju said with a smile: "Before, the master said that the son has become taller."
Liu Che followed Liu Ju's pointing, glanced at Ying Zheng, and smiled at Liu Ju: "It seems that he is indeed taller, and Ju'er has grown up."
Liu Che put Liu Ju down and asked him to continue writing, then sat down next to Ying Zheng, sighed, and seemed very tired.
Ying Zheng glanced at him, but did not speak. Liu Che sat for a while, and suddenly leaned sideways against Ying Zheng.
Yingzheng felt his body sinking, and Liu Che leaned his weight on himself, only to hear Liu Che say: "Just now I went to the East Palace, the Empress Dowager may not be here for long, the soldiers to fight the Xiongnu have already been sent out, I just heard Liu Che say: "I just went to the East Palace. He also summoned the Lord Father Yan and asked him to be the Prime Minister of Qi State and give me some political power. Gong Sunhong also added chaos to me, and just told me that Shandong Dashui, 70 victims of disasters, are using money everywhere The place……"
As Liu Che said, he closed his eyes, as if he was going to take a nap by relying on Ying Zheng, but he just said: "Think about it for me, what else has not been done, what has been missed."
Ying Zheng said: "Wars require money, people's livelihood also requires money, and natural disasters and man-made disasters all require money. It is far from enough for the emperor to rely on donations from princes, kings and merchants..."
"Oh?" Liu Che said without opening his eyes, "According to you, how can I make money?"
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "It will be a great benefit to bring the rights and interests of salt and iron wine to the state. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Liu Che laughed and said, "Okay, this is a good idea, the Prime Minister is really a good wife."
When Ying Zheng heard him say the words "virtuous housemate", his whole body froze for a moment, and then he slowly relaxed. Liu Che didn't feel that he had said something wrong. Liu Che was resting against Ying Zheng while he was writing. There was no sound in the Time School, and after a while, Liu Che really fell asleep.
With Wei Qing as the commander, the army set out from Dingxiang and marched towards the interior of the Xiongnu, but the battle was not as easy as Liu Che imagined.
The Huns have learned the previous lessons and learned how powerful Wei Qing is, so they try to avoid contact with the main force of the Han army. The Huns rely on their own cavalry to be good at running, and implement a roundabout strategy with the Han army.
It was difficult for everyone in Wei Qing to catch the Huns, let alone a large-scale battle.
Wei Qing was a little anxious, the emperor's royal driver would soon go to Ganquan Palace to supervise the battle, if there was no victory report sent to Ganquan Palace, even if the emperor came to supervise the battle, it would not be able to boost morale.
Li Guangdao: "The Huns are evasive. I'm tired of this kind of small army. I can't see a single person in a hundred miles. General, if we continue to waste like this, there is no way. The baggage troops all eat food. .”
Wei Qing frowned and said, "General Li is right, we can't go on like this."
Li Guangdao: "We should sweep down like a carpet, no matter where the Huns are distributed, drive them together to fight!"
Wei Qing looked at Zhang Qian and said, "Bo Wanghou thinks, if the soldiers separate, where is the best place to meet up?"
Zhang Qian walked up to the map, thought for a while, pointed to a point on the map, and said, "Of course it is in front of Que'er Lake. The general might as well divide the team into two groups, start hunting from both sides of Que'er Lake, and send the Huns to the lake." Drive together, and when the time comes, the two armies will join forces, and avoid the danger of being too scattered and being defeated by the enemy one by one."
Wei Qing said: "As Bo Wanghou said, Zhao Xin and Su Jian are the vanguard troops, and General Li Guang is responsible for the safety of the large troops."
Li Guang opened his mouth, he wanted to fight for the opportunity to be a pioneer, but he still swallowed the words in his stomach.
Everyone led the order and prepared to rectify and set off immediately.
Seeing that Wei Qing had finished giving orders, Huo Qubing started to study the map with Zhang Qian again, leaned over and said, "Uncle, what about me? I can also play the vanguard."
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Would Captain Yao want to use [-] cavalry to fight the vanguard?"
Huo Qubing said: "Marquis Bowang, don't underestimate these [-] cavalry, they are not only good-looking, but also useful."
Wei Qing said: "Follow me, don't run around, since the emperor ordered you to go out, you are now my soldier, and you can only act according to orders, do you hear me?"
Huo Qubing felt a little unwilling, thinking that he was invincible on the battlefield, and the feeling of returning to the battlefield was both excited and restless, the kind of throbbing buried in his blood, which Huo Qubing hadn't experienced for many years.
Huo Qubing had long wanted to lead the army to fight in the vanguard, and he was probably even more eager than Li Guang.It's just that in Wei Qing's eyes, Huo Qubing is a young man, and he is still very frizzy.
Seeing this, Bo Wanghou said with a smile: "General, let me see, if you don't let Captain Yao do something today, he will turn over all the military accounts."
Wei Qing sighed, Bo Wanghou naturally knew what he was thinking, and said: "The treasured sword is always hidden, and it will eventually rust. If the general doesn't show it, how will he know how powerful it is?"
Wei Qing glanced at Huo Qubing, and said: "Bo Wanghou has spoken to you, you go, remember you can only bring 800 people with you, don't go too far, Que'er Lake and the army will meet."
Huo Qubing's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, General."
After saying that, he turned around immediately, opened the curtain with a "crash", walked out of the camp, got on his horse, took his eight hundred cavalry, and set off after a while.
Liu Che's royal driver went to Ganquan Palace to supervise the battle, and Wei Zifu wanted to follow him, saying: "Your Majesty, you don't know how long it will take you to come back after you go, so let the concubine go together, although the concubine can't help much, But it will definitely not add to the chaos.”
Liu Che said: "I'm going to supervise the battle, and I'm taking you to do something, let's not talk about whether it will cause trouble or not. The soldiers went to the front to kill the enemy, and none of them brought their family members with them."
Wei Zifu saw that Liu Che couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "I know, it's just...it's just that I haven't been able to properly accompany the emperor for a long time. The emperor works day and night on state affairs, so he rarely comes to Jiaofang Palace."
Wei Zifu said so, and smiled tentatively: "The emperor will leave for Ganquan Palace tomorrow, and I will stay with my concubine today, okay?"
Liu Che's time to visit Jiaofang Hall is indeed getting less and less, and he knows it himself, so he came to appease Wei Zifu, saying: "I have something to tell the ministers later, I will accompany you now, and I will go soon Xuan Shi Pavilion."
Seeing this, Wei Zifu said: "Your Majesty, don't be too tired. If you are tired, you might as well talk to my concubine. Ah, yes, you can also talk to Ji'er...Ji'er has read a lot now, just...just not Too talkative, after all, as a boy, he doesn't like to play with other girls, Qu Bing also went to the battlefield, so..."
Before she could finish her sentence, seeing Liu Che's complexion turned ugly, Wei Zifu subconsciously shut up.
Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu coldly, and said, "I have been looking for an opportunity to tell you that after all, you are also Ju'er's mother, and I want to make Ju'er the crown prince. After the fight against the Huns is over for the time being, I will establish Liu Che as the crown prince." According to the prince."
Wei Zifu was so startled that he couldn't even hold his feather fan steady, and fell to the ground with a "crack", quickly put away his shocked face, replaced it with joy, and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty...is this incident too sudden? My son is... only seven years old, too young."
"Not too small."
Liu Che interrupted her and said, "In my heart, he is the crown prince. Naturally, I want to train him from an early age so that he understands his status."
Liu Che said, paused, looked at Wei Zifu, and sighed: "Zifu, do you know that when you were a court lady, I thought you were very caring. Among all my court ladies, Only you are the best, do you know why?"
When Wei Zifu heard Liu Che suddenly talk about the past, he felt a little bad in his heart, so he said bravely, "Concubine... I don't know."
Liu Che said: "Because you are the most responsible, you don't cause trouble, you don't climb high, and you act and speak the most gentle. Back then, I was thinking, maybe you are a good mother, right, Zifu?"
Wei Zifu's face was a little pale, he nodded quickly, and said: "I have always wanted to be a good mother, but I was afraid that I would not be good enough for my son, so I... also doted on my son, inevitably a little spoiled... Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Liu Che said with a smile: "It's okay, I just want you to spoil him, I just want everyone to know that I spoil Liu Shi, and he is the future prince."
Wei Zifu's complexion was even worse, and he felt a little trembling in his heart. It seemed that everything was hit by Ying Zheng's words, and he had no choice.
After Liu Che finished speaking, he said, "Okay, I still have things to do, so you don't have to come see me off tomorrow. Think about what I said."
Wei Zifu thumped in his heart, although the emperor didn't make it clear what to ask her to think about, but the words couldn't be more obvious, as long as anyone with an open mind can understand.
What Liu Che meant was that Wei Zifu's duty was what he valued at the beginning. If Wei Zifu didn't do his duty, he would lose his own role...
"No... concubine to send to the emperor."
"No need to send it off." Liu Che left the Jiaofang Hall without letting Wei Zifu move.
Liu Che's imperial driver set off early the next morning. There were more than 1000 Yulin guards at Ganquan Palace, so Liu Che's imperial driver chose to travel lightly and did not go to war. Ying Zheng accompanied them to Ganquan Palace.
When Liu Che stepped into the main hall of Ganquan Palace, he felt a little emotional. Since the Huns occupied the Heshuo Grassland, Liu Che had never been here again. The Ganquan Palace has been renovated and everything is newly built, but the layout has not changed. As Liu Che vaguely remembered.
Liu Che led Ying Zheng into the hall, and Ying Zheng was taken aback when he saw the portrait hanging in the hall at first sight.
Liu Che looked at Ying Zheng with a smile, and said, "How is it, does the painting still look like it?"
The person in the painting is not someone, but it is seven or eight points similar to Ying Zheng, except that the person in the painting is a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance, which is not quite the same as Ying Zheng's tall and handsome.
The person in the painting is undoubtedly Empress Chen...
Ying Zheng didn't know why Liu Che wanted to hang the portrait of the empress dowager in Ganquan Palace, and he didn't answer Liu Che's question, nor did Liu Che intend to ask him to answer.
Not long after the two of them entered the hall, a soldier came in suddenly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the frontline military newspaper."
Liu Che laughed immediately after hearing this, and said, "It must be Wei Qing's good news for me."
The soldier put up the bamboo slip with both hands, Liu Che opened it up and looked at it for a few times, then suddenly put on a straight face, and smashed the bamboo slip on the table with a "slap".
The soldier trembled in fright from Liu Che, and hurriedly retreated with his head bowed.
Liu Che's eyes turned hard, and he said, "Xin Zhao rebelled... the king of Xiongnu gave him the position of king from now on. Xin Zhao, the vanguard, killed Su Jian, and took his troops to join the Xiongnu again."
Ying Zheng was not too surprised when he heard this. After all, a person can defect from the Huns to the Han, so it is naturally possible to defect to the Huns. This is also an unreasonable thing, but it is also expected.
Liu Che squeezed the bamboo slips and said, "More than that, Huo Qubing and his [-] cavalry are also... life or death is uncertain."
Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, Liu Che picked up the bamboo slips and signaled Ying Zheng to look at them, Ying Zheng quickly took them and unfolded them. Sure enough, as Liu Che said, Huo Qubing took his [-] cavalry all the way to the north, and he was not with the army. Que'er Lake converges, and life and death are still uncertain.
Yingzheng was flustered for a while, after all, among the big men, only Huo Qubing was left with the same illness as him.
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although Huo Qubing is young, he has his own style of play. The eight hundred cavalry are carefully trained, so they won't be so vulnerable."
Liu Che said: "That's the only way I think. Although Xin Zhao's troops are not enough to be feared, but during his time in the Han army, he is already familiar with the internal affairs of the Han army. Xin Zhao's defection will pose a threat to the Han army. Still big."
Ying Zheng sneered, and said: "Xin Zhao is such a villain, there is nothing to be afraid of. He has surrendered twice, and the Huns are so jealous and suspicious. Even if he is reused for a while, it is impossible to reuse him for a lifetime. Just use a little plan If you provoke him from the middle, the King of the Huns will cut off Xin Zhao's head with his own hands."
Liu Che said: "Now I can only hope that nothing will happen to Qubing."
As soon as Liu Che's words fell, the soldier who went out just now hurried back, held a scroll of bamboo slips in both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, there is another urgent report!"
Liu Che took over the bamboo slips, which were still sent from the front line. Thinking about it, he must have been in a hurry.
Liu Che unfolded it, his face was filled with joy, and he said with a smile, "It's a good job to get sick, I didn't let me see you wrong!"
Zhao Xin killed Su Jian and led the troops to surrender to the Xiongnu. When Wei Qing and Li Guang's army arrived at Que'er Lake, they disappeared and sent people to look for them. The soldiers who came back said that only part of the Han army was killed, and the rest had disappeared. Surrender.
Wei Qing was furious at the time, and later someone reported that Captain Yao had not been prostituted. Wei Qing's heart trembled unavoidably, thinking that maybe Huo Qubing had encountered the rebellious Xin Zhao's troops.Immediately ordered to send a team to search for Huo Qubing's whereabouts.
This battle was unexpectedly defeated, and Wei Qing was under a lot of pressure. Yu Jia had already arrived at Ganquan Palace, and he had to write a military report to report the matter. After all, it was not a trivial matter, and it could not be suppressed.
It's just that just after the military newspaper was sent out, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and Li Guang broke in suddenly, laughing and saying, "General, look who's back!"
Before Wei Qing had time to speak, people outside had already opened the curtain and walked in. It was undoubtedly Huo Qubing who was holding the helmet.
When Wei Qing got excited, he immediately took two steps forward, held Huo Qubing's shoulder, and looked him up and down. Seeing that Huo Qubing only had some minor wounds on the outside of the skin. Where did you go, why didn't you join the army?"
Li Guang said with a smile: "General, don't be so busy prostitution Yao Xiaowei, this is a person who has made great achievements!"
Huo Qubing pulled Wei Qing out of the big tent, it was already dark, outside were [-] cavalrymen riding on horseback, each with a torch in their hand, they rolled down, as if they were going to burn the night, it was very spectacular.
Pieces of captives were connected by ropes, and many of them were well-dressed, and they were remarkable figures at first glance.
Huo Qubing had a somewhat smug look on his face, he looked at Wei Qing with bright eyes illuminated by the fire, and said with a smile: "Please tell me, the general, the number of prisoners and the number of heads here."
Wei Qing looked at Huo Qubing's lacquer-like eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly withdrew his gaze, concealed his emotions, patted Huo Qubing's back, and said with a smile: "Good boy, eight hundred horses, you actually let him You have done a great job."
Li Guangdao: "General, don't hurry up and write the military newspaper again. This is a great contribution to mobilizing the whole army. Xin Zhao, the little bastard who rebelled, has all been brought back by the prostitute Captain Yao, and there is more than enough!"
Wei Qing asked Bo Wanghou to write another military report immediately, and sent someone to rush it to Ganquan Palace.
Huo Qubing dismounted all his soldiers and guarded the prisoners.
After Wei Qing and the others dispersed, he said to Huo Qubing, "Are you injured? Don't be brave."
Huo Qubing smiled and said: "What kind of injury can you suffer? It's all skin trauma. It's not a problem at all. We crossed Que'er Lake to the west, and there happened to be a big camp of the royal court there. It’s so satisfying to clean up.”
As Huo Qubing spoke, he followed Wei Qing into the big tent. Wei Qing wet a cloth towel, asked Huo Qubing to sit down, and said, "There is nothing more particular about being in the military camp than in the palace. Wipe the dirt on your wound, and then apply some medicine. Don't fall behind." The root of the disease."
Huo Qubing was still immersed in the joy of the big victory, this kind of joy made him extremely excited, and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't take the medicine."
Wei Qing ignored him and said, "Extend your hand."
Huo Qubing honestly stretched out his hand, and Wei Qing wiped off the dust on his arm. There were some bloody scars beside the wound, and some bright red blood, which seemed to be cracked without paying attention.
