Chapter 121: Expedition to the North [Asking for Votes]
In Chang'an in August, there was a light rain and the ground was wet.
"Looking for the rest of Dao Ancestor's handscrolls, Huo Hou has some eyebrows?"
While eating breakfast, Daozun grabbed a pork knuckle with one hand, rolled the crispy skin on it into his mouth, and asked while eating.
Huo Quzhi said: "If Daozun has something, you can go back to the mountain gate first and wait, and I will inform you in time if there is news." ā
Sending the writer back should be of great help in tracking down the rest of the Dao Jane.
"I'm not in a hurry to go back. The Hidden Immortal Sect is not a secular sect, and there are not so many trivial matters for me to go back to. Daozun snorted his elbow, and he was very good.
"I'm going to Beiguan in a few days." Huo Quzhi said.
Dao Zun sighed: "Something to do with finding the rest of the Dao Jane?" ā
Huo Quai: "At present, there will be a meeting in Beiguan, and people in the open and in the dark are in Beiguan, and many things will be carried out around Beiguan. ā
Daozun squinted his eyes and said, "Why do I feel that you are tempting me to go to Beiguan with you?" ā
Last time, he was deceived by Huo Qu's illness and first entered the small world in the bronze Jane to investigate, and he suffered a loss, but now he is very guarded.
When Huo Qu is sick and speaks, he will first stabilize his hand.
"Daozun is too worried."
Huo Quzhi said: "If Daozun doesn't want to go, it's okay to stay in my house for a little longer." Then he got up and left.
On the morning of this day, Dong Zhongshu officially entered the military mansion.
The emperor issued an edict that a military palace would be built in the north of Chang'an, corresponding to the direction of the Xiongnu royal court, and the sages of the past dynasties would be invited to enter the military palace to enjoy the worship.
From Bingzu, Bingsheng below, Spring and Autumn Sima Sui Tho, Warring States Sun Bin, Wu Qi, Wei Yi, Zhao Hao, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Lian Po, Le Yi, Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin, etc.
However, the final list has not yet been decided.
For example, Han Xin's soldiers were prominent, but later died because of rebellion. In this dynasty, he was invited to join the military palace, enjoyed the worship of all the people, and praised his name through the ages, and many people had opinions on this, and there were many arguments in the court.
In addition to the undisputed soldier saints and soldiers' ancestors, it remains to be discussed which soldiers will be invited into the palace.
The location of the establishment of the military palace was selected in the north of Chang'an, and the soldiers who went out to fight or triumphed in the future will pass through this military temple and worship the military shrine of the heroic souls of the sages of the past dynasties.
Another intention of the emperor.
It was close to the middle of August, and at this time it was proposed to build a military palace and inform the whole army, which was also to warm up for the upcoming battle against the Xiongnu.
At noon that day, the Guards Hall.
Huo Quzhi called Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu: "How is the screening of Yulin Jun and Hu Benwei going?" ā
Yao Zhao was a little excited: "Nearly 3,000 Yulin and 4,600 Tiger Benwei have been preliminarily selected. Children between the ages of 16 and 25. There are also some underage people who will also be selected from all over the country and sent to the Chang'an Guard Army barracks to begin training. ā
Huo Quzhi has made some small adjustments in terms of age, so he is too young to ask for it, and there is a slight difference with the actual age of contemporary conscription.
"You guys prepare, set off in two days, and take the recruits who have already arrived in Chang'an to Beiguan to experience the atmosphere of the border pass, which is good for military training."
"Yui! yć ā
The two didn't ask much, and after agreeing, they retreated.
Huo Qu's illness then recruited Li Kang and gave many instructions.
He also began to prepare for another expedition, and he had the intention of handing over everything to Li Kang.
In the evening, Huo Qubing rode on Jin'an, and when he came out of the palace gate, the big cat jumped down from the palace wall out of nowhere, jumped in the air, and his paws were a little on Jin'an's head, which landed right in front of Huo Qu'an.
Jin'an shook the horse's head, and if it weren't for the fear that the plague-stricken cat would fall to the ground, it would not have touched its head.
Jin'an rolled his horse eyes up and looked at the triumphant big cat.
Out of Weiyang Palace, Huo Qu rode westward.
After the death of Gaozu that year, Empress Lu took Chen Ping as the commander of Lang and assisted Emperor Hui.
Later, Chen Ping conspired with Taiwei Zhou Bo to quell the rebellion of Zhulu and set up the king as Emperor Wen of Han. At the beginning of Emperor Wen, Chen Ping was greatly appreciated for his dedication to his duties, so he became the prime minister.
The current crown prince Zhan Shi Chen Zhang is Chen Ping's grandson and Wei Shao'er's remarried husband.
The crown prince Zhan is probably equivalent to the prince's servant, and there are responsibilities similar to those of an enlightenment teacher.
Huo Qubing came to visit his mother before the expedition.
Hearing the report from the porter, Wei Shao'er became a little nervous, happy and worried, and sorted out his appearance before quickly walking out of the hall.
She loves this son very much in her heart, but she doesn't dare to show it, and she is even a little afraid of her own son.
Wei Shao'er is born cowardly, scheming or something, and he can't learn it all the time.
Most of her life she has been following the crowd and following other people's arrangements.
Only Hui was bold and made his own decisions, that is, while Princess Pingyang was not in the house, he had Huo Quai.
"Go sick!"
Chen Zhang went out and didn't return, only Wei Shao'er came out of the house, and when he saw his son who walked into Chen's mansion with great vigour, he slowed down and peeked at his son's expression.
Huo Quzhi saluted: "In a few days, I will go to Beiguan to patrol the border, and I need to walk on the moon to see my mother"0.
"Go to Beiguan!" Wei Shao'er was surprised.
Both of them are in Chang'an, although it is not common, but they feel close and down-to-earth in their hearts, hearing that their son is going to Beiguan, Wei Shao'er is a little reluctant, and he is bolder, and he reaches out and grabs his son's hand:
"Are you going to go for so long, can you come back earlier?"
Huo Quai: "Grandma remembers to take care of herself." ā
"Don't worry, he'...... It worked very well for me. He was gentle and never said anything serious to me. Mother ...... to him Also satisfied. I say that, don't be angry. Wei Shao'er said.
Huo Qu is sick and worried about Chen Zhang, I have seen it more than once, he has several generations of eunuchs in his family, and he is not short of scheming, he has always been very good to his mother, and it is not simply a matter of feelings.
Wei Zifu is the queen, Huo Qubing is Lang Zhongling, and Wei Qing is the general. With these few people here, they didn't dare to bully Wei Shao'er with the courage of Chen Zhang.
But there is no need to expose this matter, Wei Shao'er is happy.
"I already know that Your Majesty wants to marry Princess Pingxian to you, it's really good."
Pingxian is the pearl of the clan, how many people walk around to ask about her marriage, I can't imagine that His Majesty promised her to my son. Wei Shao'er smiled.
"If my mother is in trouble, I can go to my aunt to help me get an idea. And so the boy goes. Huo Quzhi left his mother Wei Shao'er and went to visit his aunt again.
When I returned to my home, it was already dark.
Unexpectedly, there was a carriage parked at the gate of the mansion, and he was stopped before he entered the mansion.
"Dare to ask, but Huo Hou!"
A clear, slightly magnetic sound.
A woman wearing a red and white beaded beast-patterned thin brocade dress stepped out of the car at the door.
In the middle of summer, the clothes with the collar are light. Under the woman's fair-skinned beautiful neck, the delicate collarbone and slightly delicate skin are exposed.
Its posture is graceful, and it stands gracefully after coming down.
She is in her early twenties, with facial features, looks, temperament, figure, posture, and even clothing, and mannerisms are just right, and she is a woman who can inadvertently affect people's hearts.
She and Liu Qing have completely different styles.
This woman is born with a charming child, which is what ordinary people call the temperament of the troubled water, and the charm is in the bones.
There is no need to be deliberately pretentious, but every move is innate, which makes people remember it after seeing it, and it is beautiful and very charming.
She got out of the car, and she was also looking at Huo Quai, her watery peach blossom eyes flashed, black and white.
"Qingke is the younger sister of my husband's family, and my real name is Bai Nanyu."
The woman stepped forward, took out a small brocade box, and handed it to Huo Quzhi: "Qingke asked me to send it over, she is inconvenient to enter and exit now, and she is not at ease when others come." ā
Huo Quzhi glanced at the box: "The head of the Zhuo family has come to thank him several times, and he will not take the rest." It's not early, so I won't ask for a price to enter the house. The words fell back and walked into the main gate of Huo Mansion.
Bai Nanyu was stunned outside the house, this topic was cut off before it could be developed, so uncomfortable.
She had something to say yet.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Nanyu returned to the car and left.
Funai.
Huo Qu came back from illness to wash up and prepare to go to the study to practice.
Xiong San leaned over and said in a rough voice: "In a few days, Gongzi is going to Beiguan?" ā
Huo Quzhi glanced at her: "Ang." ā
Xiong San immediately came to his senses, and his speech became clever: "Childe didn't take me with him in the previous battles, so take me back this time." ā
"I have always practiced the scout technique taught to me by the general, and I have always practiced military techniques such as roaring. Didn't Childe also say that these military skills must be trained on the battlefield in order to grow? ā
Huo Quzhi snorted, which was considered to be agreed.
Xiong San's vitality is strong, especially his voice is loud, and his combat power even exceeds that of ordinary generals.
The next afternoon, Huo Qubing came to the study of Weiyang Palace: "Your Majesty, it's mid-August, and the minister asks for orders to go to Beiguan." ā
Liu Che raised his head from behind the low seat, was silent for a moment and said: "If you win this battle, I will personally inscribe it for you, send you to the military mansion, and leave a name for the ages." But this time the Xiongnu headquarters are all there, unlike the last situation, you have to be cautious in using troops. ā
"Your Majesty rest assured."
Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "The ministers will return to the court victoriously and bring good news to Your Majesty." ā
Liu Che said: "Okay, I will draft a decree to let you set off to Beiguan and join Wei Qing in the name of patrolling the border on behalf of me." Lang Zhong ordered everything to be under his control, and still let Li dare to take it on his behalf. ā
"I promise you to march cheaply, and other matters can be discussed and decided with Wei Qing."
This battle is to secretly attack the Huns, Liu Che will not come to see him off, or even publicize it.
After Huo Qu fell ill, Liu Che came to the window and looked out with his hands.
Huo Quzhi was dressed in an official robe, walking between the corridors of the palace, and the thin white war sword behind him hunted in the wind, as if carrying the shape of the wind, making its owner high-spirited, with a temperament that no one in the world could match.
At the palace gate, Huo Quzhi glanced at Changle Palace, but did not go to see Liu Qing again.
Rushing to the Huns once, there is no need for children to be long.
Two days flew by.
Early in the morning, Huo Qubing only took a few personal soldiers with him and rode to the north gate of Chang'an.
Unexpectedly, when I came to the north gate, it was not dawn, but I saw a big car driven by Luan, parked at the city gate that had just been opened. Liu Qing poked out his pretty face from the frame, saw Huo Qubing who was approaching on a ride, and said quietly: "Huo Hou is going to Beiguan, don't you plan to come and tell me?" ā
The title of going to illness changed back to Huo Hou.
Huo Quzhi said calmly: "At most, I will return in twenty or thirty days, you marry me, there will be a lot of similar situations the next day, adapt to it first." ā
This is quite a scoundrel, Liu Qing pursed the corners of his mouth, asked Huo Quzhi to come closer, and took out a bracelet-like bronze armband for him to wear.
"You must put it on, and you must not take it off." Liu Qing said softly.
The bronze armband is worn on the wrist, with interlaced textures, like tortoiseshell patterns, which are obviously protective equipment.
Huo Quzhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, princess, this thing won't be useful, I'll go." ā
The words fell and urged the horse, and the sound of hooves suddenly rose, and suddenly it was a hundred feet away.
And in a certain corner of the city, there was another chariot, the eyes of the car passed through the city gate, watching Huo Quai's illness from afar, and two faces of disgust and joy poked out of the car: "The people have left, let's go back." ā
"Is that the princess who came to see him off?" A voice asked.
In the Longxi Hou Mansion, Chen Wei was also asking a close attendant: "Are you sure that Huo Qubing has left the city and gone to Beiguan?" ā
