Chapter 014
Although there was no danger, the emperor's interest was greatly affected when such an incident happened during the hunting.
He immediately ordered to go back to the palace, and called Liu Ju to his side to comfort him.As for the deer that Liu Ju had hunted, the emperor would naturally not ignore it. He asked someone to take the deer's head back to the palace, and would show off his son in front of the officials if he had nothing to do.
As for the contest between Liu Ju and Wei Wuyou, because the trip to Shanglin ended too hastily, it could only end without a problem.
Liu Ju didn't ask what was the truth about the startled horse incident, whether it was an accident or a coincidence. Anyway, he had his uncle and brother Qubing, and they would help him deal with it. Besides, the emperor would never allow such a thing to happen again.
Huo Guang witnessed the whole process of the whole incident, and he was impressed by Liu Shi's performance. If he was the little prince in his memory, it would be impossible for him to be so calm. do not understand.
The reason why the emperor ended the hunting in Shanglinyuan ahead of schedule was not only because of the accident of the crown prince's frightened horse, but also because the Xiongnu in Hexi had a new trend, and he had to rush back to deal with it.
Dali sent a memorial and an envoy of the Huns, and the message was a little surprising. The Xiongnu in Hexi planned to make a living by themselves.
Immediately, the emperor summoned the general and the hussar general, and there was no third person.
In the uterus, Liu Ju was seriously writing his homework, with Huo Guang as his companion.Wei Wuyou had nothing to do, walked around the room twice and suddenly went to Liu Ju and knelt down, tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Brother Prince, I heard that King Hunxie and King Xiutu are about to surrender."
Liu Ju stopped writing, turned to look at Wei Wuyou, puzzled, and said, "So what?"
He knew about the surrender of King Hunxie and King Xiutu. Since the Huns had never surrendered on such a large scale before, the emperor was overjoyed and worried. , I am afraid that there will be fraud in it.
The current emperor should have hesitated and hadn't made a final decision, so he discussed with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing for a long time in the announcement room, but Liu Ju already knew the result of Hexi's surrender, so he didn't show excessive concern.
Once, when he clearly remembered the content of that dream for the first time, Liu Ju had thought that he should try his best to avoid all bad things.But later, he gradually discovered that there are not too many things that need to be done by himself, just let nature take its course.
Liu Ju was born in the most glorious and glorious era of the Han Empire. All the kings had been pacified, and the Western Regions had been opened up. The war against the Huns swept away the previous decline, and his birth met the expectations of all the subjects of the empire for the crown prince.
After careful calculation, except for keeping Wuyou by his side so that no accidents would happen, Liu Ju didn't make any changes. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that it wasn't necessary, and he was afraid that it would be self-defeating.
Wei Wuyou puffed up his cheeks, and said expectantly: "I don't know who His Majesty will send to recruit the Huns, I really want to go and see." He is not very old, but the look of expectation in his eyes is not fake.
Liu Ju looked at him, couldn't hold back, laughed, then rubbed Wei Wuyou's head and said, "Xiao Wuyou, believe me, no matter if it's uncle or elder brother Qubing, he won't take you with him. You really want to go, wait another ten years."
In fact, Wei Wuyou was just talking about it, and he never thought that he would actually be able to go, but he was directly rejected by Liu Ju, still a little upset in his heart, and couldn't help saying: "Will there be Huns in ten years? Will they all be shot?"
Hearing this, Liu Ju and Huo Guang froze at the same time.Ten years later, how could there be no Huns, just...
Liu Ju and Huo Guang thought of the same thing and the same person, but they couldn't say it in front of Wei Wuyou, Liu Ju blinked, and changed the subject: "Wuyou, I heard from my mother that when uncle and aunt get married After getting married, I will take you and Wuyou home."
After Wei Qing's original spouse died of illness, Wei Wuyou's brother and sister were brought up by Wei Zifu in the palace.After the two children gradually came out of the shadow of losing their mother, Wei Qing proposed to take the children back, but was stopped by the queen.
The queen's reason was very pertinent. The Wei family didn't even have a headed mistress, and Wei Qing didn't spend much time at home. Instead of following the concubine's mother, the two children might as well enter the palace and be taken care of by their aunt. Let's play together.
Not long ago, Princess Pingyang, who had been widowed for many years, planned to remarry, and she fell in love with the general who was also widowed.Prior to this, Princess Pingyang's only son, Cao Xiang, married the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Wei. The emperor was very satisfied with the marriage between the two families, and happily announced his will to grant marriage.
It was the first time Wei Wuyou heard the news, he was stunned on the spot, and asked for a while, "Brother Prince, will you be called Uncle Aweng, or Aunt Princess?" Really worried about the prince.
Liu Ju couldn't have imagined that Wei Wuyou would ask such a question, and he was dumbfounded. After thinking for a while, he replied, "What did I call it before, and what will I call it in the future? You almost made me faint."
Wei Wuyou nodded ignorantly, not sure if he had recovered.
Later, the emperor issued a decree, ordering the Hussar general Huo Qubing to go to Hexi to accept the surrender of King Hunxie and King Xiutu.
Both Liu Ju and Huo Guang knew the result of Huo Qubing's trip, and they returned with a good reputation.
At first, both the Han and the Hungarians were more reserved and prepared to face each other across the river. No one was willing to cross the river first, for fear of something unexpected.
Afterwards, Huo Qubing took the initiative. He ordered the three armies to be on alert, and ordered Li Xi's men to sit in the rear, and began to approach the Huns in a formation that could be attacked and defended.If it drags on endlessly, even things that were fine may cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, after the Han army crossed the river, there was a sudden change in the ranks of the Huns, and the troops of King Hunxie and King Xiutu actually had internal strife.
The reason is that King Hunxie insisted on surrendering, but King Xiutu repented, and the two sides immediately fought at each other.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Huo Qubing rushed over with his own soldiers without hesitation, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to surround him from both wings.
The Huns originally had internal disagreements, and there were many old and young women and children in the formation, and their fighting will was not strong. After many of King Xiutu's subordinates were hacked to death, they quickly lost their fighting power and chose to surrender honestly.
Huo Qubing took over the followers of King Hunxie, and let his subordinates take the lead to send King Hunxie back to Beijing to meet the emperor.
At this time in Chang'an, the emperor was in a good mood. He treated the surrendered Xiongnu very courteously.
"Brother Prince, aren't the Huns our enemies? Why does Your Majesty treat them so well?" Wei Wuyou's question is actually everyone's question, but they dare not speak out. scruples.
Liu Ju raised his head and glanced at Huo Guang, and said calmly, "Because Ah Weng wants to tell the world that as long as he really surrenders to the Han, the big man will treat him kindly, just like his own people..."
Before Liu Ju could finish speaking, Wei Wuyou hurriedly said, "This way we can dissolve their hearts, right?"
Liu Ju nodded slightly, while Huo Guang looked at the prince and his little cousin calmly.What Liu Ju said today was somewhat beyond his expectation. It turned out that the little prince had a deeper understanding of the emperor than he expected.
Huo Guang didn't know that Liu Ju didn't come up with those words alone, but he once had the same doubts as Wei Wuyou, and he couldn't figure it out, so he asked Huo Qubing, and got such an answer.
Hexi was surrendered, and Huo Qubing contributed a lot. In addition to the usual rewards, the emperor also gave him a big house.
At that time, Huo Qubing hadn't returned to Beijing, and the emperor said these words at a family banquet. Before his words fell, Wei Wuyou said naively: "Uncle, didn't Brother Qubing say that 'the Huns are not destroyed, why should we do our home'? If you give him a house, what will he do?"
Hearing this, the emperor's face darkened immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If he doesn't want it, he has to! He's about to start a family, what does it sound like to live in an uncle's house all the time?"
As the supreme ruler of the empire, Liu Che seldom had the experience of being rejected by others, and the last person who didn't give him face so much was Huo Qubing.
What Huo Qubing rejected the emperor was not just a gorgeous house, he also rejected becoming the emperor's son-in-law by the way.
The marriage between Princess Wei and Cao Xiang was also decided after that.Of course, Liu Yan herself didn't know that she had been rejected by her cousin, because the marriage was the emperor's own wishful thinking from the beginning to the end, and he never asked his daughter's opinion at all.
Wei Wuyou was confused when he heard that, he blinked, and asked after a while: "Brother Prince, why can't Brother Qubing stop living in our house when he has a family? Ah, no, when is Brother Qubing going to have a family?" ,I do not know how?"
Liu Ju rubbed his head with a smile, but didn't speak.What else could it be? Of course it's because of Xiao Shan'er, his favorite cute and well-behaved little Shan'er.
However, the house that A Weng bestowed on Qu Bing's brother ended up being vacant, because he was not responsible for raising the children.
It was not that Huo Qubing was unwilling to raise his son, but after his concubine gave birth to Huo Shan and died in childbirth, all the female elders in his family expressed concern about him raising his son alone, even though the Champion Marquis's mansion did not lack nurses and nurses. nanny.
Huo Shan was picked up by Princess Pingyang only three days after his birth, and his sons went to his uncle's house. Huo Qubing had no reason not to go with him. Anyway, his courtyard in Wei's house, Wei Qing, had always been vacant for him. He lived in a rather empty space. The champion Hou Fu is more used to it.
After the little guy passed a hundred days, the queen took him into the palace to raise him for a few days.Liu Ju liked this little nephew very much, and would go to play with him every day, making Xiao Shan'er giggle whenever he saw him.
The author has something to say:
Historically, Princess Pingyang married Wei Qing after Huo Qubing's death. For the sake of plot, I moved ahead of time. Anyway, in all film and television dramas, Princess Pingyang's second husband was ignored.There is no historical record about Huo Shan's biological mother. I guess she is a person with no story, so I downplay it because I can't imagine how my cousin is in love.
