Chapter 005 Yuanshuo 5 Years
The fifth year of Yuan Shuo had a joyous beginning. Mrs. Wang and Li Meiren in the palace were pregnant successively. This was undoubtedly great news for the emperor with few heirs. There were layers of ripples.
Before that, although the emperor had neglected the empress for a long time, his only three daughters and one son were all born by the empress.Because everyone knows that in the palace, only the son is the most reliable.
Li Meiren has never been favored, but she went back to bed when Mrs. Wang was pregnant and it was inconvenient to go to bed. She was pregnant. She was so lucky that Mrs. Wang who had been favored for several years before she became pregnant saw I felt very upset.
Fortunately, Li Meiren is very savvy, knowing that she is no match for the queen in terms of status, and no match for Mrs. Wang in terms of doting.
Mrs. Wang is not the case. Because of the emperor's partiality, she has already surpassed the empress in the limelight in the palace, but she lost because she has no son. up.
Since Mrs. Wang and Li Meiren were pregnant, the queen spared them from visiting the Jiaofang Hall every day to pay their respects.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang didn't appreciate it, and she still reported on time every day without any delay. Seeing this situation, Li Meiren had to come every day.
In fact, Wei Zifu sincerely hoped that Mrs. Wang and Li Meiren would not come to Jiaofangdian.The reason is not "out of sight, out of mind" as others mistakenly think, but because her eldest daughter, Princess Wei, is about to leave the cabinet, and she wants to spend more time on her daughter's marriage.
Princess Wei was born in the fourth year of Jianyuan. Her birth broke people's doubts about the emperor's ability in a certain aspect, so she was born to be favored, which is far incomparable to her two younger sisters, Princess Yangshi and Princess Zhuyi.
The Han family has always had the rules, only the lieutenants can be the lord, and Princess Wei, as the emperor's eldest daughter, will naturally not be an ordinary family who will be downgraded.The lucky one who is about to become the lord is the eldest son of Princess Pingyang, Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang.Cao Xiang and Princess Wei are cousins. They were childhood sweethearts, and it is reasonable to get married when they grow up.
It is the first time for the queen to marry her daughter, needless to say how important it is, how can she care about Mrs. Wang and Li Meiren.However, Mrs. Wang has a little secret that is not known to everyone. Every time she comes to the Jiaofang Palace, she has to chat with the Queen about the housework, and finally leaves slowly with an unobvious belly.
The three princesses didn't like Mrs. Wang, and whenever she came to Jiaofangdian, they would take the initiative to avoid her, not wanting to salute her, let alone pretending to be a snake with her.Liu Ju has no feelings for Mrs. Wang, but the sisters usually take him away as well.
On this day, Mrs. Wang came to Jiaofang Hall again, but Liu Ju was unwilling to stay in the back hall peacefully. He took advantage of Princess Zhuyi's inattentiveness and quietly ran to the front hall.
When he arrived at the front hall, Liu Ju didn't look for the queen, but stopped alone in the corridor in front of the door, looking around from time to time.
It is said that Liu didn't know why he came here, but just now, a vague picture appeared in his mind.Mrs. Wang fell down when she was leaving the Jiaofang Palace. Ah Weng was very angry and scolded his mother. My mother was very sad, and my sisters were also very sad.
Liu Ju didn't care if Mrs. Wang would fall down, but if Mrs. Wang fell down in Grandma's palace, Ah Weng would be upset, and he couldn't let such a thing happen.
It's just that Liu Ju looked around and couldn't figure out why Mrs. Wang, who was supported by a court lady, fell down for no reason on the smooth road.
He really couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it and planned to go into the palace to have a look.
When the princesses found out that their younger brother was missing, they hurriedly asked the nanny to follow him out. Fortunately, Liu Ju was not naughty, and played quietly in front of the hall by himself. When they found someone, they watched from the side.
Suddenly, Liu Ju stood up, turned around and ran towards the gate of the palace, maybe because he was running too fast, he slipped at the gate.
The nannies were terrified and rushed over one after another. One of them touched the ground when he picked up Liu Shi, and his expression changed immediately.
The child's bones are weak, and a fall is nothing. Liu Ju didn't even cry, but just bit his lower lip tightly.
He knew why Mrs. Wang fell down, the ground was too slippery, but he didn't understand why it was like this.
What happened in front of the palace quickly spread to the Queen. Liu Ju was carried back by the nanny, and the wax stains on the ground were quickly cleaned up. When Mrs. Wang left, it was the same as usual, and nothing happened.
In retrospect, Wei Zifu was terrified, no matter who the killer was, as long as Mrs. Wang fell down in the Jiaofang Palace, the responsibility was hers, either she couldn't tolerate the concubine, or she had no way to control her, and others could take advantage of her machine.
After that day, Mrs. Wang seemed to remember the special permission given to her by the Queen, that she doesn't have to pay her respects every day, so she got someone to accuse her and really stopped coming.If Mrs. Wang didn't come to pay her respects, Li Meiren followed suit, so she stopped coming, which made the Jiaofang Hall much quieter.
Immediately, Wei Zifu sorted out the top and bottom of the Jiaofang Hall, exempting what should be avoided, and changing what should be replaced.
The three princesses knew what happened that day, and secretly discussed who did it behind their backs.
Princess Zhuyi is optimistic about Li Meiren, thinking that she wants to kill two birds with one stone, not only get rid of Mrs. Wang's child, but also blame the queen.
Princess Yangshi felt that Mrs. Wang was responsible for this matter, because with Li Meiren's strength, it is really not easy to do something in Jiaofang Palace.
"She's not afraid of self-defeating, it's too risky to do so." Princess Zhuyi insisted.
"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get tiger cubs." According to Erzhan Qi's eldest son, if Mrs. Wang wants to make a difference, she has to take risks.
Princess Zhuyi frowned, as if a little shaken, she turned to look at Princess Wei, and asked, "Elder Sister, what do you think?"
Princess Wei pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who did this, the important thing is that she won't have such a chance again."
"Why?" The two princesses said in unison, with obvious doubts in their words.
"Because..." Princess Wei said slowly, "Father is going to use troops against the Huns." When the emperor turned his mind to the battlefield, whoever dared to make trouble for him in the harem, regardless of reason or reason, would be disgusted by him Yes, no one in the harem dared to touch his reverse scales.
Originally, the empress dowager's filial piety period had not yet passed, and the emperor did not intend to send troops at this time, but the Huns seized on this point. From the third year of Yuanshuo, they continued to commit crimes, causing great harm to the big man. loss.
This spring, the right and wise kings of the Xiongnu harassed Shuofang several times. The emperor finally couldn't bear it and decided to fight back.Shuofang County is the base camp he is planning, and it is of great significance. If the Huns continue to harass him like this, how can he still have a strong army.
Therefore, the emperor ordered Wei Qing, the general of chariots and cavalry, to lead an army of [-] cavalry. The generals of Qingche, all of whom belonged to the generals of chariots and cavalry, all went out of Shuofang, and ordered the big luggage to rest.
Before the army set off, Huo Qubing pestered Wei Qing for several days, using all kinds of reasons, but in the end he couldn't make it.
Seeing Brother Qubing who was so angry that he refused to talk to his uncle for several days, Liu Ju wanted to persuade him, but he also helped Brother Qubing to beg his uncle, but in the end he was stunned by him. More reasonable, so I don't know what to advise.
In Liu Ju's slightly anxious mood, the day when the army departed was getting closer and closer.
How to do it?Uncle and Qubing brother hadn't reconciled yet, Liu Ju was so anxious that he almost couldn't go around, which made the emperor secretly laugh when he saw it.
Finally, when the day of the expedition came, Huo Qubing carried Liu Ju in his arms and followed the emperor up to the high wall of Weiyang Palace, watching the army go away.
Compared to other people who were obviously or secretly restless, Liu Ju was the most calm and relaxed, because he knew that his uncle was the most powerful and would definitely come back after winning the battle.
Sure enough, not long afterward, the news of Wei Qing's success spread to Chang'an City.
King Youxian of the Xiongnu thought that the Han army could not reach his camp across the vast desert, so he started drinking.Unexpectedly, at night, the Han army came and surrounded his garrison and army.
King Youxian was shocked and fled overnight with a concubine and hundreds of strong cavalry.They rushed to break through the encirclement and headed north, Qingqi captain Guo Cheng and others chased for hundreds of miles, but failed to catch up.
During the service, Wei Qing led his troops to capture more than ten Youxian Pi Wangs, more than [-] men and women, and millions of livestock, so he led his troops back.
In the propaganda room, the emperor was overjoyed, and read the memorial countless times, and couldn't bear to let it go.
Liu Ju looked at the emperor eagerly for a long time, but he didn't see him speak, so he could only ask, "Ah Weng, is uncle coming back?"
Hearing the sound, the emperor looked at his son, nodded and said, "Ji'er, when your uncle comes back, I will give him a big reward!"
"Oh." Liu Ju nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Uncle won the battle, and Ah Weng wanted to reward him, which was as it should be.
Huo Qubing next to him raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but his expression was not obvious, neither the emperor nor the prince saw it.
The emperor said that he wanted a heavy reward, and it really was a heavy reward. His imperial decree was as follows-to worship the chariot and cavalry general Wei Qing as the general, and all the generals belonged to the general with soldiers.
Liu Ju was still young and didn't understand what the general meant, so he just smiled.
Huo Qubing knew it, so his shock was not something that Liu Zheng could understand.
In the Han Dynasty, generals were not often appointed, and there were even fewer generals. For example, Gao Zu worshiped Han Xin, and Emperor Jing appointed Dou Ying.
Therefore, today's opening is an unprecedented precedent.
