The sound of silk and bamboo sounded all around, and the dancers danced in the middle of the banquet.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "If you are sick, you won't go to pour wine for your uncle." In the past two days, you have been talking about your uncle in the palace, and you have to follow your uncle into battle to kill the enemy, why is it that now that your uncle is back, he has become rusty. ”

The young Huo Quzhi stood up, poured a glass of wine, walked to Wei Qing and said, "Respect uncle." ”

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Mrs. Wei again, with a look of disapproval on her face. Huo Qu is still young, how can Mrs. Wei indulge him in drinking? So he excused himself and said, "It's better to replace wine with water-"

"Wei Qing." Liu Che pointed at him and said with a smile, "You are still so restrained." ”

The young Huo Quzhi stood in front of Wei Qing, holding the wine glass upright, and there was a faint look of rebellion between his eyebrows. This child's temperament is very different from Wei Qing, Wei Qing is humble and gentle, but Huo Quzhi never knows what he is afraid of, let alone a small glass of wine.

He took the wine glass, leaned forward slightly, and continued, "To my uncle." ”

Wei Qing couldn't refuse, so he took a glass of wine in front of him and drank half a glass each with Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi said seriously: "When I was in the palace, I often heard my aunt say that my uncle was riding horses in northern Xinjiang, and the Huns were terrified when they heard the wind. When I grow up, I will also attack the Huns in the north like my uncle, so that he will change color when he hears the word Huo, and he will not dare to step into the Han Dynasty for half a step. ”

Then he turned around and gave Liu Che a long look: "I don't live up to Your Majesty's high hopes." ”

Liu Che flicked his sleeves, pointed at Huo Quzhi and said, "This is what you said." ”

Huo Quzhi stood upright, with a calm expression: "A gentleman is a promise." ”

Wei Qing shouted in a low voice beside him: "Go sick." But because of Liu Che's presence, the voice was only heard by a few people around.

Huo Quzhi bowed to Wei Qing again, and then returned to Mrs. Wei and Princess Pingyang with the empty wine glass in his hand. He stays in the palace these days, so he is not very reserved.

Liu Che turned his head sideways and said a few words to Mrs. Wei before continuing: "I asked you to come here today because I want to tell you about two things. First, I have drafted a decree, and you will have meritorious service in attacking the Huns in the north, or be rewarded or rewarded, and so on; Second, a few days ago, Wusun sent an envoy to Chang'an, and I have ordered a banquet to be set up on a certain day, and among you—"

His gaze swept over Wei Qing, and then swept over the dancing girl in the banquet, and finally landed on Gao Su.

"One of you must avoid the envoy of the Wusun Kingdom and not be present at the table."

When Wei Qing heard this, he got up and said, "Minister......"

Liu Che raised his hand slightly and pressed Wei Qing's words.

During the banquet, all the generals were stunned, and after a while, Gao Su stood up and saluted Liu Chechang: "The ministers should leave the table." ”

Liu Che's originally tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he slowly lowered his hand. This time, Wusun Kingdom came strangely, and it came up at the juncture when the Han army caught the military minister Shan Yu, what was the purpose of the other party, he actually had no bottom in his heart.

Therefore, he needs to let one general mediate with the Wusun envoy, and let another general stay as a trump card.

But whether this trump card will be used in the end, Liu Che is even more uncertain in his heart.

Then Liu Che said something about rewarding the generals, and left the table in advance. He just made an appointment with Dongfang Shuo. As soon as Liu Che left, Mrs. Wei and Princess Pingyang naturally left the table. The young Huo Qubing followed two steps, and suddenly ran to Wei Qing's side, said a few words to Wei Qing, and then left with Mrs. Wei. When Huo Qu was sick and left, Wei Qing's expression was faintly a headache, and he seemed to be a little depressed.

After those people were gone, the acting prince tensed his expression for a long time before he really relaxed. He pushed his glass to the side and said, "Let's go." Then he should get up and leave the table.

Yun Yao also put down the wine jug in his hand, got up and left with the acting prince.

Suddenly, Gao Su got up and left the table, blocking the way of the acting prince. The prince of his dynasty waved for a long time and said, "The prince stays." ”

Then he straightened up, lowered his voice and asked, "Can the prince take a step to speak?" ”

When Gao Su asked these words, there was a calm look in his eyes.

The acting prince was stunned. Yun Yao was taken aback.

Prince Dai looked at the young general in front of him, and faintly felt a little puzzled. He knew that this was the powerful general who blocked the Xiongnu in Daijun at the beginning, captured the military minister Shan Yu, and later defended the city for two months instead of the country, and finally became a horn with General Wei Qing, and nailed the Huns to death in Monan.

But it seems that I may be about ...... Don't know this powerful general?

The prince turned his head and looked at his sister.

Sure enough, he saw his sister's expression stiffened, and his eyes were full of astonishment.

- Understood.

- It's for his sister.

The Acting Prince nodded knowingly. What kind of temperament his sister is, he naturally knows it very well. A few days ago, my sister lived in the Weiqing camp for more than half a month, and in the border city of Daiguo for more than two months. In the past three months, the young general in front of him happened to be in the same place as his sister.

What happened during this period, after a little thought, I will understand.

He withdrew his gaze from his sister and said with some displeasure, "We should have a good talk." ”

————————————————————

The two of them were in the house and had been talking for more than two hours.

Yun Yao was dressed in a small dress, hiding under the shade of a big tree, looking at the study in the palace of the king, her expression was a little sullen.

As soon as the two of them returned from the palace, they went into the study one after the other, and did not let anyone disturb them. From time to time, there were some voices of conversation that were neither humble nor arrogant, as well as a bang (a few slaps), and even the sound of the acting prince jumping in anger.

It can be seen that the conversation between the two did not go very smoothly.

She tugged at the color of the little maid's clothes on her body, took a tray and two lamps of water from the little maid passing by, walked to the study, and knocked lightly on the door.

A moment later, a slightly distorted voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Yun Yao pushed open the door, put the tray and cup on the table, took two steps back, and stood aside with her hands down.

When Prince Dai saw that it was her, he only felt the anger rising upward, he walked to Yun Yao's side in two steps, lowered his voice and asked, "You and that person are really in love?" You've been in Ueya-gun, Ah, what the hell is going on? ”

Gao Su just told him that the two of them were happy with each other (the two of them were happy with each other), and they knew each other very well (where did they come from for three months), and they would be the marquis in the future (this is a big truth), and they would never insult the lord (but it was sincere), so the prince of Wangdai allowed the two to do so; As soon as the acting prince let go, he immediately bowed six times without delay.

The acting prince was shocked when he heard this, and then hated the last ten words a little bit. Seeing Yun Yao coming in at this time, he lowered his voice again and asked, "Ah Yan, you told Brother Wang, is this matter true or false?" ”

She raised her head, looked at her brother quietly, and then nodded firmly, slowly.

"You ......" Prince Dai pointed at her, his fingertips trembling slightly: "Such a big thing, why don't you talk about it with my father and I know!" ”

Because the two of them were going to a banquet today, they both wore dark black court clothes and hairpins and crowns, showing a bit of gloomy momentum. Prince Dai looked at her without blinking for a moment, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. And the one behind the prince ...... The man also looked at her motionlessly, his eyes gentle, and his expression calm.

It seems that the two of them have already spoken just now.

She lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "I didn't explain it to my father and brother Wang, it's really Ah Yan's fault." ”

The acting prince said the word "you" again, and he couldn't say it anymore. He stepped forward and picked up the cold water and poured it down his throat several times, only to feel the anger in his heart calm down a little. The acting prince settled down a little and wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly a small servant from outside came to report, saying that someone from the palace had come and asked the acting prince to go to receive the will and receive the reward.

The acting prince had no choice but to put that matter aside for the time being and go outside to receive the order.

The will was to commend the prince for his calmness and moderation in the border city of the country that day, and the royal answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and rewarded him with 3,000 gold and 1,000 silks.

When the eunuch who delivered the decree saw that Gao Su was also here, he was surprised and said, "Why hasn't the general returned to the mansion to receive the decree?" At present, the will must have arrived in the general's mansion, and it should be good news, great news. ”

Immediately, a small servant next to him took two steps forward, handed a purse to the eunuch, and asked with a smile: "But I don't know what the good news is?" Can you reveal a thing or two? ”

The eunuch who passed the decree said with a smile: "The general has a merit in capturing the military ministers, the merit in blocking the Xiongnu, and the merit in defeating the Xiongnu in Monan, so His Majesty has a will, and the general is the Marquis of Yingchuan, with 500 households." The general had better go back to his house as soon as possible to receive the decree, and don't miss the hour. ”

Gao Su was slightly shocked when he heard this.

Prince Dai was also a little surprised when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Gao Su, the anger in his eyes faded slightly.

He took two steps forward and came to Gao Su's side, lowered his voice and said, "Even if you are the Marquis of Yingchuan, you can't have the final say in this matter. I should repair a letter to inform my father that in the end, my father should decide what happens to Ah Yan's marriage. ”

The prince of the Gaosu Dynasty took a long look and said, "In this way, there is Prince Laodai." ”

After that, Gao Su left with the eunuch. After all, Liu Che's will is also very important. If the eunuch who passed the decree was neglected, or if there was something on the side, it would be a little too much to say.

That night, the acting prince immediately revised a letter and informed the acting king of the matter, who was far away in the acting country.

And the king's reply to him was: Yes.
