Everyone loves Huo Qubing

"Why are you so tanned?" As soon as he saw the emperor, he turned into his arms and rubbed him violently, "How is Shuofang?"

"Very happy." I straightened my hair that was being messed up.

"Nephew still cherishes words like gold." The emperor thought for a while, "I heard from Xin Zhao, you and Su Wu are going to help the Qimen Army recruit soldiers?"

"Yes." I nodded.In fact, we could have recruited more, but Su Wu is a picky person, and in the end only more than 30 soldiers were left for Uncle Su to decide.Uncle Su liked Zhao Puonu and Gao Bushi very much, he handled customs clearance documents for them, and asked them to go back to Beijing with us for a while, so Su Wu and I took the two boys who had just arrived to ride the horses. Ran around every corner of the capital.

"Xin Zhao praised you two for your good eyesight, and said that in the future, I will ask you two for help in recruiting troops." The emperor's eyes moved to the wooden slips in front of me, "What kind of books are these?"

"General Su recommended to my ministers Dr. Chao Cuo's "Guarding the Frontier and Encouraging Farmers" and "Recruiting People to Migrate to the Fortress II", which were the guides they used to build Shuofang. These two memorials have a sharp style of writing and penetrating into the inside. I admire them very much. "I pointed to one of the passages, "Your Majesty, look, the strategy of using troops does not necessarily come from the art of war. Reward, siege the city and slaughter the city will get its wealth to enrich the family, so it can make all the people covered with arrows and stones, go to the soup and fire, and regard death as life'. Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. Where is the military guide?"

"It seems that I didn't give you a vacation for nothing. Go out and play for a while, and you will make a lot of progress." The emperor picked up "Shou Bian Persuading Farmers" and flipped through it back and forth, "I will borrow this volume for use. I want Gongsun Hong Take a good look, if you only stare at "Gongyang Chunqiu" all day long, he will soon be overtaken by his students."

To be sold!The appearance of Grand Tutor Gongsun waving a ruler, blowing his beard and staring suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. I calmed down and said cautiously: "Please don't tell the Grand Tutor that this book was taken from this minister."

Hearing my request, the emperor rolled his eyes and smiled.

"How about my nephew stop going to school and come to me to work full-time? I happen to be short of a doctor here."

The emperor's eyes are half threatening and half seductive, and they are born with the power of demagogy.As for the position of doctor in middle school, for me, a boy who has not yet graduated, it is indeed a big temptation.

"Your Majesty is really eclectic in sending talents. But—" I gave the person who surrounded me a big gasp, and politely refused, "I want to serve in the Xiaoqi Battalion."

"You want to join the army?" The emperor frowned, "Is it because Xiang'er went to Xiaoqi camp?"

Marquis of Pingyang?I shook my head: "No, my wish has always been to imitate my uncle, go to the front line and fight the enemy."

"You are still young, how can you beat those Hun soldiers with big horses." The emperor laughed for a while, and finally let go of his hand, "Well, I will reserve the position of doctor for the time being, and my nephew will think about it when he goes back. "

The capital finally ushered in the bleak coolness.Guo Xie had already left for Yingchuan to make preparations for moving to Maoling, and Zhao Ponu and Gao Bushi were successfully recruited into the Hu barracks of the Qimen army. Finally, the Marquis of Changping was quiet for a while.

"Go and tell your mother-in-law that I will go to the master's father's mansion to give him a farewell party tonight, and I may not come back until very late." As soon as I entered the door, my second uncle told me.

I took the Cuju kicked by the opponent and tiptoed twice.

"Farewell party? Master Father is leaving the capital?"

"Yes, he is going to Qi to serve as the country's prime minister."

"Hasn't he been working overtime on "Tweet Order"? Why was he suddenly sent to the county?"

"Your Majesty's impromptu decision can't be made clear for a moment." The second uncle took off his military armor and put on a plain coat, "In this way, you can also change your clothes when you are going to be ill. Go with me."

When we went out, it started to rain lightly.Sitting in the carriage, I secretly looked at the haggard uncle beside me.Even though he had won the battle, there was no joy in his eyes, only more melancholy than before.

The second uncle raised his eyes, saw me staring at him intently, and smiled at me.

"How's the house deed going?"

I kicked the opposite car seat with my toes.

"Jing Zhaoyin said that you must have the permission of the Marquis of Pingyang to move back, otherwise it will be regarded as a bribe. I have also been to the Princess Mansion, and the housekeeper said that Marquis Pingyang stayed in the military camp for training and did not go home. He could not get a seal. "

The matter of returning the property was more difficult than I imagined, all because Cao Xiang signed my name on the property deed of Weifu.

"The truce in the northern border, it stands to reason that the training will not be so intense." The second uncle patted me on the shoulder, "Do you need me to help you?"

"No," I shook my head. "For such a trivial matter, just make two more trips, and don't bother uncle."

"General Wei, Mr. Wei, please come inside." The housekeeper led the way, and I followed my second uncle around the carefully arranged courtyard.It was getting dark, and the master's father's mansion was brightly lit everywhere, not to mention inlaid with gold and silver carvings, but it was also exquisitely mounted everywhere, which was much more gorgeous than Changping Hou's mansion.It's a pity that in a few days, this mansion will be empty.

"The empress dowager is old and in poor health. She is anxious to pave the way for her majesty in her lifetime. The family of King Yan's family entered the capital, and I can't blame you, master father. You can choose to stay in the capital, there is no need to wrong yourself." Just now As soon as he was seated at the table, he heard the familiar accent of Kuaiji. It was actually Zhu Maichen, the ex-teacher whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"Mr. Zhu's words are wrong," the master father Yan drank the wine in his hand, "There was Jia Yi's "Policy for Public Security" before, and Chao Cuo's "Policy for Reducing Fans".

"The fate can also be resisted." Zhu Maichen shook his head and persuaded, "If the green hills are left, I am not afraid that there will be no firewood."

"My master and father still say the same thing. If a man can't live with five tripods, he should die with five tripods." The man on the main seat stood up, his eyes flashed with excitement, he poured another cup, patted his chest, and was impassioned Said, "The immediate effect of the "Tweet En Order" is obvious to all. The small counties are in disarray, and the brothers fight against the wall, and the chickens fly like dogs. There is no need for your Majesty to bother. Now only Yan, Qi, and Zhao are the hard bones. , It should be when I go through fire and water. If I can get it down, I will be the hero who has made the Great Han Dynasty peaceful for thousands of years; , wish me success soon.”

After saying this, he drank it down in one gulp, filled another cup, and raised his glass to his second uncle: "If there is a second Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, I hope this time, General Wei can stand by my side. side."

"Master, father, you are serious. You and I are all servants of His Majesty, so we should serve His Majesty as a dog and a horse." The second uncle raised his glass in return.

It was late at night, and it was pitch black outside the window.

The more depressed you are, the easier it is to drink high. I have personally experienced this.The carriage was bumping, and the drunk second uncle was lying on my lap, as if he had fallen asleep, but I could feel the shoulders of the person beside me trembling slightly.

"Uncle, there is no one else here except me, so cry if you want." I patted my second uncle on the back to help him calm down.The atmosphere at the banquet was extremely depressing, and farewell hymns were sung one after another.

The second uncle closed his eyes, a bleak smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "I'm afraid the master father will never come back."

"Is he really going to die?" I asked the questions I had accumulated during the banquet just now, "Why does he think that uncle will not stand by him?"

The other party opened his eyes and looked at me, his dark eyes were full of sadness.

"Thirty years ago, Taizhong doctor Chao Cuo radically demolished the feudal vassal. More than ten days later, Wu and Chu allied forces rebelled. Although Yuan An finally persuaded Emperor Xiaojing to kill Chao Cuo, do you know who called Yuan An to persuade Emperor Xiaojing? And who took the lead in impeaching Chao Cuo?"

I shook my head, expecting the other party to reveal the answer.

"It was Yuan An who was found by the former uncle Dou Ying. When the Seven Kingdoms rebelled, he was only two years old today, and he is as old as His Royal Highness today." The second uncle's calm narration did not match his painful expression at all, "and The person who impeached Chao Cuo was not only Tao Qing, the prime minister at the time, but also Zhang Ou, the court officer, who is now the doctor Yushi."

"I understand. If the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms happens again, the imperial court will still decisively abandon the car and protect the commander in chief." The survival instinct of the emperor's family is originally the survival instinct of the emperor's family; There is no doubt that there is no other choice but to side with His Majesty.

***

"Hey, please help me take a look, Huoyun is listless today, is he sick?" In the setting sun, I finally crossed the entire Chang'an city to bring home the tantrum sweat horse, I wiped my forehead With sweat in his hands, he handed over the reins to the servants.

The servant in the costume of the princess mansion rushed in the door.

"Young Master Huo, it's not good. Marquis Pingyang fell off his horse and is about to die."

"Falling off the horse? How is it possible?" I haven't seen Cao Xiang for a long time, and I didn't expect such shocking news. Pingyang Hou's riding skills are among the best in the capital.

"Uh..." the servant stammered, "Your Majesty was in the barracks looking for a kid surnamed Zhao to compete in swordsmanship, but he was thrown off by a horse and broke his neck."

My heart sank suddenly, I grabbed the reins, turned over and jumped on the horseback.

The room leak happened to be raining overnight, and after a long neighing, Huo Yun sat down on the ground and went on strike completely.The spare horse in the house was not very obedient, and it took a long time to put the saddle on.

"Don't go on Chidao, Mr. Huo—" The servant's panicked voice came from far behind.

"Where can I control so much!" I waved my hand and whipped again.

"Brother—brother?"

I kicked open the door, Pingyanghou was leaning against the couch, happily chewing the caramel handed by the maid.One leg was splinted, and he was suspended in the air by the rope hanging from the beam of the house. He was only wearing an obscene garment, and a corner of the garment hem lifted a ray of spring light.

"Eh? Qubing, why did you come so soon?" Cao Xiang hurriedly pushed away the slender hand in front of her.

"Huh... Junhou's servant lied about the military situation, saying that Junhou is dying. It seems that there is no major problem. I have something to do. Let me go." I glanced at the maid who sneaked out of the door, turned my head and left.This guy on the bed is not only full of energy, but also flirts with the maid and sister in a leisurely manner. I don't have the time to play around with him. Huo Yunma is sick and waiting for me to take care of him.

"Don't go!" Accompanied by a burst of thumping, an anxious and earnest voice came from behind, "I admit, I taught the messenger to say that!"

Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I stopped and turned around.

The small cauldron holding the cakes was knocked upside down, and the instigator of the oolong incident was trapped on the couch by a rope, his face full of grievances.

"Your Majesty is very good, what are you going to do with Zhao Puonu to compete with swords?" I picked up the copper tripod on the ground and put it back on the bedside, looking down at the person on the couch, I said angrily, "They are all my own people. Infighting?"

"Your own man," the young master pouted, and muttered angrily, "He is an outsider surnamed Zhao. He doesn't know how much he is, but he actually shows off his relationship with you in front of other soldiers. I Just let him understand that you are mine, and he doesn't even think about it."

"Hasn't Junhou been avoiding me all the time, why are you thinking about me again now?" As soon as I said the words, I suddenly remembered something, "Since you will stay in the mansion for the rest of the time, I will send someone to release the deed to you later." Send it back to you, please sign and seal it." During this period of time, I never saw Cao Xiang, and gradually I forgot about the house deed.When I saw him, I didn't take it with me for a while.

"I won't sign. There is no reason to take back the things I sent out." Seeing my raised eyebrows, he took my hand and pulled me to sit on the side of the couch. I thought you would like such a gift, so I bought it without even thinking about it, I know you are nostalgic."

Suddenly recalling the distraught evening on the last day in the Wei Mansion, I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Giving such a valuable thing, is there no place to spend the money? If I replace it with a box of the bronze soldiers and horses that Zhang He has been collecting recently, I will be happier."

"Brother, I gave you a gift not only because I love you." Cao Xiang stretched out his hand and caressed the messy hair on my forehead caused by galloping horses. His eyes were like lake water in late autumn, looking straight into my eyes , "The important thing is, I think you deserve it."

The person in front of him is usually reticent, but when he talks about love, it is really hard to resist.

"Oh." I held his hand and sighed, "Next time, don't just find someone to fight with. They didn't teach you a lesson, but they made themselves into this look. Me and those two guys from Shuofang, really It's just acquaintance."

"I knew my brother would love me." The other party smiled like a cat who stole a fish.

Once the heart knot is untied, the imprisoned feelings will also break free.Desires flow between the familiar skins, as if there are only me and him in the world—and the splint that gets in the way.

"Brother, can you kiss me, I can't move now." The person who was pressed on the couch by me begged tremblingly.

"You deserve it for breaking your leg." Although I said taunting words, I still pecked hard on his lips.

"It's not a kiss on the lips." He held my shoulders and pressed me down, "Is it okay to kiss here?"

"Use your tongue...don't bite...it hurts!"

The poor wounded man lay grinning in front of me, and it was a good time for me to rub it round and flatten.

"This is your share of biting me before, and I will pay you back."

"Hey...you really hold a grudge."

"Yes, I will take revenge!"

"Ahem..." With tears in my eyes, I tried my best to find my breath.In the end, the other party gained the upper hand again, pressing the back of my head and poking violently, choking my airway without saying anything, and being covered all over my face by him again.

"Brother, I'm sorry, brother." Cao Xiang called me anxiously in a low voice.

I took the Jinpa handed over, wiped the mucus from my eyelids and complained, "Can I say hello in advance next time?"

"I have already greeted you." A familiar female voice rang in my ear.
