The three became tigers, I couldn't help but not believe it, I chose to doubt, and finally broke his heart.

It made me feel uncomfortable to hear that Han said one by one, and wanted to refute the accusation given to him by the officials, and let him be a hero in an open and honest manner.Considering that only by keeping a low profile can we preserve him for a long time, I still give up.

Seeing him forcefully smile, I can't do anything about it.

The old military minister Shanyu was seriously ill and was about to die. I sent spies in advance to spread the news: the Xiongnu prince Yudan and his younger brother Julihu were about to return.

Then he ordered Gouli Lake to take the Hu cavalry army and the Huns who surrendered to Han to escort Yudan back to the Huns, and set up a second royal court near Shuofang County, which was newly acquired by the Han Dynasty, to gather and recruit the Huns.

During the court meeting, a minister said that Gouli Lake was Yu Dan's cousin, and Han said that he was the son-in-law of the military official Lao Shanyu.I am a little dumbfounded.

In September of this year, everything was arranged, just waiting for an appropriate opportunity to start the final battle with the Huns.

During the days of waiting, my ears were so clean that there was hardly any noise except the state affairs that the ministers talked about and the cicadas singing in the autumn palace.

Liu Rong left, Liu Che evaded meeting me, Taifu was busy preparing for various small and complicated affairs, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were at the front line, Julihu and Han Shuo were in Shuofang, and the two younger brothers lived in separate kingdoms, and they were not close or talked about. Worth mentioning.

Suddenly I looked back and looked around, and there was almost no old person around me.

The only remaining brother who had been clinging to me since he was a child was getting weaker every day.So apart from the front hall, Xuanshi, and Yeting, the place I often go to is Liu Shun's bedroom.He lived separately from the queen.

In the afternoon, I walked into his bedroom in the midday sun as usual, and saw Liu Shun set up a soft couch in front of the window, lying down and watching the scenery outside the window.The young prince squinted his eyes slightly due to the sunshine, his expression was peaceful, his body was thin, his skin was pale, his clothes were loose, he was really a young man.

"Brother Emperor, you are here." Liu Shun got up slightly, and I quickly helped him lie down.

He smiled calmly, as if he was swaying his last youthful beauty: "You can sleep with me for a while."

"Okay." The soft couch is big, and it stands obliquely from the waist up, making it suitable for leaning on.I also went to bed.The curtains fluttered around the palace, the scenery was vague, the maids went about their own business quietly, and the smoke curled up from the incense burner.Fusheng is free for half a day.

"It's a grape from the Western Regions, the emperor's brother likes it the most," he said.

I looked sideways, and there were several hangings on the lacquer table, which were crystal clear.I got up to take a piece, and just about to put it in my mouth, I suddenly thought, since when did I become the most fond of eating grapes?I looked at it, trying to see a flower from it.The events of these days flashed by one scene after another.

Since when did I change from pampering Liu Shun to being whatever he says?

"What's wrong?" Liu Shun said.

"It's nothing." I half propped myself up on my left elbow, still hesitating.

Liu Shun passed me and picked up a grape and said with a smile, "Brother Emperor, ah—"

I stared at it for a while, opened my mouth to eat, he twisted another pill, held it between his lips with a smile, put his hands on the couch, and came to feed it.

I was slightly taken aback, seeing him getting closer and closer to me, I slowly lay flat.He put the grapes into my mouth, his eyes met, his breath overlapped.His eyes were clear and his smile was simple, as if it was just a little joke between brothers.

I was stunned for a while, still feeling a little weird: "You have a good rest, I'm going to the announcement room." I felt dizzy when I got up, but I didn't care, I walked two steps, and I was dizzy for a while, and the two maids quickly supported me.Liu Shun ordered in a cold voice, "Put my elder brother on the couch."

I don't know what's wrong if I don't guard against him anymore.Liu Shun then asked the maids to tell the servants and eunuchs guarding outside the palace that the emperor would not deal with government affairs today, and let the servants rest separately, while the eunuchs stayed outside the door.

"Shun'er, what are you going to do?" I lay on the couch, short of breath.

"After so many years, the emperor's brother didn't notice it? I can wait any longer, but my health is not good." Liu Shun lowered his eyes and smiled.It was the first time that I faced Liu Shun's uncouth and submissive side.

"See what?" I couldn't figure it out.

Liu Shun sat down and stroked my face, his fingertips were gentle and his eyes were full of pity.Is this still the boy I carefully shook hands with and led back to Weiyang Palace from the front palace?

Wherever he touched, there was a mass of fire, burning the skin and burning the blood.I couldn't hold back, hugged him down, kissed his neck, and planted patches of peach blossoms, alternated with white peony.He twisted impatiently, and then went down, everything was so logical.

But what did I do wrong to bring things to this point?

"Brother Ayue, why do you always only have Liu Che in your eyes?" I don't know.

"I wanted to use Huainan Wang and others to exhaust you physically and mentally, so I had to rely on me. It's a pity that they are too incompetent, and you easily swept them away."

When I saw King Huainan's memorabilia asking me to think twice before attacking Yue, I knew that he was a literati, he saw difficulties too clearly, thought too much before acting, didn't know how to put all his eggs in one basket, and was doomed to fail.So his rebellion is stupid and ridiculous.

"I have spent so many years weaving a gentle web, so that you can't leave me, and you will be obedient. Maybe in three to five years, you will no longer be able to escape, but I can't wait that long." Thinking of my indifference to Liu Rong, pushing Liu Che away, alienating Wei Qing, and doubting Han Shuo, it seemed that he pushed him.He knew everything and pretended not to know anything.

"Instead of giving up halfway, playing the role of a well-behaved younger brother until he dies, and then being forgotten by you, I would rather get it once, so that you hate me and remember me." Are these tears coming from joy or sadness?He has cried for so many years, and his tears today must not be sincere.

"It's the end, please, please look at me and call me by my name, okay?"

I buried my head deep into his neck, the body fit perfectly, without a single gap: "Archer."

When I woke up, the sun was setting, and the things outside the window were dyed bright red.

I put on my clothes and didn't want to look at Liu Shun, so I asked the maid to come and take him to clean up, and fled out the door in a panic.Afterwards, the eunuch and the servant were reprimanded, they looked at each other, and bowed their heads inexplicably to accept the crime.

Liu Shun's health deteriorated from that day on.I put him under house arrest in the temple and never went to see him again.

In February of the following year, at the request of Qiangong Gaohou, Han said to return to Beijing to get married.Since the marriage that Han said became a fulcrum of the Han's strategy against the Huns, even though the bride was a Huns woman, the marriage was still grand.

When I went down to court, I saw Weiyang Palace was covered with snow.Many ministers surrounded Han beamingly and said congratulations.Han said he would leave the palace after saluting me, and walked among the ministers with a smile.

My mood, which had been silent for a whole winter, improved with the joy of people.

In the evening, I changed into casual clothes and took Huo Qubing to the Hou Mansion Han said.Every time Huo Qubing returns to the palace, I take him with me.The mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and maids shuttled among the guests.The ladies and noble ladies in Chang'an are dressed in brocade and emerald green, giving off a rich and noble atmosphere.

Walking down the corridor in the snow, from time to time, several girls rushed to us, and then ran away, which made Huo Qubing nervous for a while, and pressed his sword several times to get out.Chuntuo snickered enough before saying, "Oh my little ancestor, why do you think they came here? It's because the emperor and you, General Huo, are so handsome."

pretty?Huo Qubing and I looked at each other.

I am the Son of Heaven. In the past twenty years, no one has ever talked to me about my appearance.Huo Qubing grew up in the art of war and the army, so he probably didn't have this concept.

I smiled and said, "Qu Bing, you now have a title and a fief, and the noble ladies present today are all of excellent status, why don't you choose the one you like, and I will let the inner court organize a wedding for you, just like you Year's reward, how about it?"

Huo Qubing was wearing a lake-colored silk robe, with animal patterns of the same color embroidered on the broad skirt.

However, his handsome face, which hadn't changed color in the face of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, turned red because of this topic.He looked at the icicles on the brackets on the eaves, and said seriously: "The Xiongnu are not destroyed, so what is the family?" These words are familiar, as if they have heard it in a previous life.I patted him on the shoulder and laughed with Chuntuo.

Someone on the porch stared at me for a while.I looked over and saw that the man was wearing a red and black curly train and a big cloak. He was tall and tall, his skin was as fair as snow, and his eyebrows were clear and clear. It was exactly what Han said.

He stepped forward and said: "I have seen the emperor. I didn't know that the emperor was coming, but I couldn't welcome him. Please forgive me."

I smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite. Didn't you see that I am wearing casual clothes, and I am still called my emperor. I just came to see you."

Han said he hesitated and didn't know how to call me.

"Then you still call yourself Zhen?" Huo Qubing broke the momentary silence and stuck out his tongue at me. He relaxed a lot and spoke like a teenager.

As soon as our group entered the banquet hall, Huo Qubing was recognized by several noble youths, who insisted on pushing over to sit with us.During the banquet, they asked Huo Qubing all kinds of questions with sparkling eyes.

Huo Qubing chatted happily with them, showed his heroic attitude in the army, and drank wine with them.

Han said that after toasting a round of wine, he brought a few colleagues over and made a deep obeisance to me.I drank it all and stared at him for a while, he smiled as happily as on my wedding day, his cheeks were flushed.I said: "I have wronged you."

You have been captured for many days and I have not been able to rescue you, so I have wronged you.I failed to trust you to the end, imprisoned you, and wronged you.Let you marry a Hun woman, I have wronged you.Over the years, many things have wronged you.

Han said that many emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally returned to the gentleness of the past. He smiled and said: "I am not wronged." Looking at his leaving back, and seeing Huo Qubing and the others jumping happily, something in his heart In a corner, feeling a little lonely.

In March, Prince Yu Shan fell seriously ill.The death of another person, however, took all the time out of my mind for that news.

Donghai County is ruled by Taifu.When he returned to Beijing a year ago, when he saw me, his spirit was very different from before.The voice and smile at that time are still in my mind, but I don't know how short the time of meeting is, and the time of parting is long.

Walking in Dongyuan at that time, the Taifu sighed: "I have taught the emperor for many years, and I have really neglected my duty. Now the emperor is mean and indifferent, sometimes too affectionate, vicious and reckless. Compared with the previous emperor, he is still inferior."

I bowed respectfully to the Taifu and said: "What the Taifu said is true. Every time I think about the past and act, I always feel anxious. I will definitely remember what the Taifu said."

The Taifu looked at me for a while, then smiled suddenly: "Only this temperament of daring to accept advice is the same as when we first met."

The two joined hands, talking and laughing.The gap between the monarch and his subjects disappeared without a trace.He said: "The minister has been in the East China Sea for these years, and he has figured it out. What the emperor said back then was so high-sounding and well-founded, but in fact he disliked the minister being annoying by your side. So he let the minister far away, just like you outside It's like letting go."

I smiled and said, "Didn't the Taifu choose to go to the East China Sea?"

Taifu said: "Your Majesty can let your ministers act according to your own thoughts, and you still don't know it. I am grateful. This is the Emperor's brilliance."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and he said again: "Actually, this is also good. The emperor feels disgusted by the subject being in front of the emperor every day. If you stay far away, you can forget your dissatisfaction and regain the original tacit understanding."

Indeed.It's far away, but I think of Taifu's kindness instead.Recalling those years, I only remember how gentle and considerate he was as a teacher and father when I was at odds with Emperor Jing.I have something unresolved in the discussion between the court and China, and I often ask the letter master for advice.When he came to Beijing to see him occasionally, after leaving, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He was in the East China Sea, governing the people while absorbing experience, and co-authored a book with several elders in Zhuzi Pavilion.The first draft that Zhuzige gave me contains the thoughts of the Taifu between the lines.

When he came back in the past two years, I was a little bored and wanted to let him go, but I didn't expect him to be far away before the decree was made.

Tai Tuo said that he only wanted to do more for the people, which is true.He fell on the way to inspect the river.Two papers on water control and military service were left behind.He set up everyone's responsibilities and personnel connections so that the requisitioned people would no longer be treated like ants.

The imperial doctor said that the Tai Tuo had put in so much effort over the years, and it was inevitable that he had come to this point.

He asked to be buried with his ancestors, but he did not want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.When I learned of his life experience, I still wanted to find an opportunity to tease him, but now I have no chance.

I asked Maoling Ling to set up a clothes tomb for him.

In March, the sky is misty and rainy, and the pines and cypresses all over the mountains are like green yarn.I told the servants to retreat, and stood in front of the tomb alone in the rain.When I heard the news, I still didn't believe it, and I didn't shed a tear.Until this moment, I was still depressed and at a loss.I don't know how long it took, someone behind me covered me from the rain with an umbrella.

Closing my eyes, the rain fell from my eyelashes to my cheeks, and I let myself be vulnerable for a moment.

"Han said, I will leave a tomb for you on the west side of Maoling. After you die, you can be buried in Maoling with me." I looked at the white green hills and said lightly.

Han said that he was silent behind him for a long time, so long that I thought I couldn't hear the answer, so I heard a soft voice: "Okay."
