Chapter 42 The Silk Road Relies on Force

In the main hall, it was empty and warm, and Wei Qing and Wei Zifu were full of sadness. Huo Qu was sick and heartless and roasted on the side.

Wei Qing frowned and said: "Your Majesty pushed the palace maid who chewed the root of her tongue out as soon as possible, it seems that she didn't believe this statement from the bottom of her heart, but it just shows that this matter has aroused His Majesty's anger." I'm sure Your Majesty will start investigating. Trying to find out exactly how this rumor came about may not make a big fuss, but it is inevitable to investigate and covertly visit. ”

Wei Zifu put down the lamp in his hand and said: "Since Mrs. Li dares to take this move, she must have made preparations in advance, no one is so reckless, if she pinches her head and tail, there is no trace, and this fire is afraid that it will not burn her." ”

Of course, Huo Quzhi didn't figure out the situation, and asked, "What, what's wrong with Mrs. Li?" ”

Xue Qing told him the matter briefly, and Huo Qu was sick: "It seems that Li Guangli still hasn't cleaned up enough, spared his life twice, and dared to make trouble, he would have been killed with an arrow if he knew it, and he would have been killed." I think that her Mrs. Li doesn't have her younger brother to help her, can she still make waves with just a eunuch brother. ”

Wei Qing asked strangely: "Twice, did you go to find Li Guangli's bad luck again?" ”

Huo Quzhi scratched his head embarrassedly: "Last time I heard that he was sent to Huainan Kingdom, I stopped him on the street, found an excuse, and beat him." Humiliated. I thought they could be a little more restrained. ”

A few people didn't care, Li Guangli beat him, he dared to intercept and kill Xueqing, Huo Quzhi couldn't beat him on the street? The Wei family suffers a loss, and they always play cards according to the rules, otherwise they will directly kill him. Of course, Huo Qubing is capable of doing this, but Wei Qing can't do it.

Xue Qing finally understood, before returning to Chang'an last time, Huo Quzhi said that he had thought about it, and he thought that he couldn't be good at it, and he thought that he was going to do something, thinking about it, what else would he do besides fighting and fighting.

Xue Qing whispered: "Empress Chen is dead, and all the belongings of Changmen Palace have been confiscated by Shaofu. The Li family has no financial support, and whether they have strong relatives or not, it is not enough to compete with us, but it doesn't cost much to do things. This is also a good thing, and they can do something to add fuel and vinegar to the wind and light the fire. ”

Huo Quzhi didn't know about this yet: "Why did Empress Chen die?" When did it happen? How I don't know. ”

Xue Qing didn't want to explain too much to him, and said: "If you're dead, you're dead, and you don't need to mention her in the future."

Huo Quzhi raised his head and looked at the three of them suspiciously, estimating that it was probably something they did, this is a good thing, Chen Ajiao is already crazy now, and the madman is the most terrible enemy.

Wei Qing hypothesized: "Is it possible to find out Mrs. Li and find evidence to prove that the rumors were spread by her." Let the Emperor dispose of her. ”

Xue Qing shook her head: "How is it possible, this thing must have been done cleanly." No evidence could be found. It's the same as Empress Chen's thing. And the words have been spoken, and the words that have been uttered are water that has been spilled. I can't get it back. This is even if it is a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he may be able to stab him at any time. There is no other way to divert attention from this matter at the moment. ”

Wei Zifu nodded: "That's right, Your Majesty's eyes have been on the Xiongnu, at present, the snow is all over the sky, the war is about to stop, and the imperial court will adjust its strategy against the Xiongnu." This can temporarily distract His Majesty's attention. When the spring of next year starts, the battle will start, and His Majesty will have no time to take care of him. ”

Xue Qing shook her head: "It's not enough, it's far from enough." ”

Wei Qing asked, "What do you mean by being a good girl?" ”

Xue Qing smiled lightly: "Daddy should get married." ”

Everyone was stunned. Silent.

………… The dividing line of all evil......

On this day, Emperor Wu summoned the ministers accompanying him and the recalled generals to have a banquet in the main hall. Wei Qing sat at the front of the table as a matter of course. Emperor Wu rubbed his hands and came in from behind. Snapped and knelt all over the ground.

Emperor Wu sat down and waved his hand: "Get up, is Huo Qu sick?" ”

Huo Quzhi shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister has already come." ”

Emperor Wu said: "Okay, dance a song quickly, cheer me up, and see how brave my hussar general is."

Huo Quai's illness was ordered. When the generals saw that the emperor did not carry swords, they were all placed outside the palace to be guarded by the guards. A eunuch held a sword in front of Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi took off his robe, revealing a light coat inside. Stretched out his hand and drew his long sword, only to see a cold light. Suddenly, the body method suddenly changed, and the sword light was shining. The huge hall is killing every step of the way, if it is cold. Everyone was fascinated.

Bo Wang waited for Zhang Qian, stroking his beard and gently bowing his head on the side, Wei Qing quietly glanced at Emperor Wu, only to see Emperor Wu looking at Huo Quai's illness with admiration.

The musicians of Yuefu beat the drums on one side, and the drums were dull and urgent. The last bronze bell ended ethereally, Huo Qu fell ill and hung down the tip of his sword, clenched his hands into fists, and saluted the emperor.

Emperor Wu sighed: "Okay, I have Huo Champion." Come back twice as strong. 600 households were sealed. ”

Huo Qu was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty Xià reward." ”

Huo Qubing was named the champion marquis, the standard of the liehou, and the food was 1,000 households, which added another 600 households. It's really a lot of money.

Emperor Wu turned his head and asked Bo Wanghou Zhang Qian: "Qian, what you have seen and heard in the Western Regions over the years, can you tell Huo Quai?" ”

Huo Quzhi was still excited, and hurriedly said: "I said it, Bo Wanghou told the minister in detail, it's quite interesting, but Xue told the minister that this world is far more than Bo Wanghou has been to and seen." ”

Emperor Wu was stunned, what was the situation. But I didn't dig any further. I'm going to ask about it later. It seems that Huo Quai's illness has caused trouble for Xue Qing again, didn't this unlucky guy tell him, don't tell anyone what Xue Qing said to him.

Emperor Wu continued to ask Zhang Qian: "Qian, in order to find the Da Yue Clan, you have spent thirteen years in a foreign land, if there is still a chance, are you willing to take the mission to the Western Regions again to see the places you have heard of but have not been?" ”

Zhang Qian arched his hand and said: "Last time, the minister only went to the four countries of Dayue, Kangju, Daxia, and Dawan. I heard that further to the west, there are Anzhi, Tiaozhi, and the southeast of the body. I heard that the customs of these countries are different from those of China, and they are all rich. Chan was eager to see it. ”

Emperor Wu said: "I not only ask you if you want to go, but also ask if you can go, is the road feasible, are there any difficulties?" ”

Zhang Qian muttered: "If it is difficult, it is the Huns, in the past thirteen years, ten of the ministers have been trapped by the Huns, and the west is full of Xiongnu territory. The western border of the Xiongnu Dadanyu reached the east of Yanze, and the south was connected with the Qiang tribe, which just blocked the passage of our Han Dynasty to communicate with the Western Regions. ”
