The more a people who advocate force, the more they have a strong heart, especially among nomadic tribes.

They have no fixed place to live, and they are constantly on the move. The loyalty to the inherent territory and even the tribe is far less than that of the Han people who settle in one place and do not move places for almost their entire lives.

When the two tribes were fighting, Huo Qu's illness made all the herdsmen fear and hate.

But once he decided to submit to the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing became the first object of these tribes to visit.

Huo Qubing commanded the army to conquer their land and crush their people.

If you want to surrender, you must find the strongest one. Just like the wolves on the grassland, whoever defeats the original wolf king will automatically become the new wolf king and lead them forward.

In addition, after these tribes came to Chang'an, after a little inquiry, they knew that Huo Quzhi's status was special.

The emperor's most favored minister, the most famous general of the military, and the more famous one is his uncle, the queen's nephew, and the most favored princess of the clan is his wife.

It is so brilliant that it cannot be described by the simple word "prominent".

These tribes invariably regard Huo Qubing as the most awe-inspiring and important object of visit.

In addition, there is something to ask for, so it comes in an stream.

For some time, the tribal envoys who came to Chang'an would gather outside the mansion every evening to ask for a meeting.

"What are you here for?" Huo Quzhi asked Zhang Cigong.

Zhang Cigong laughed and said, "I ask you for something."

Came and asked the porter, you and the princess are not there. The host was not there, and it was not appropriate for me to go in, so we waited outside together. ”

Huo Quzhi said: "You actually know how to abide by the rules, it seems that it is not a small matter to beg me." ”

"Come in and say."

Huo Quzhi walked to the mansion first, and after climbing the steps outside the mansion, he looked back at Yin Yin and other envoys of various tribes outside the mansion, and instructed the leader of the pro-army to shout Qisheng: "Arrange for the people of these tribes to go to the mansion to discuss matters." ”

"Her Royal Highness didn't come back with you?" Zhang Cigong said casually.

Huo Qu was sick and worried that after Liu Qing mastered the power of embroidery, he understood his whereabouts very thoroughly every day, and when she got home, she would come back with her front and back feet.

When all the foreigners heard that they could enter the palace, they were all flattered.

They had been here for some time, and for the first time they had received a response that they were allowed to enter the house.

A group of people flocked behind and walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Stand in line."

In the tower-like hustle and bustle, the pro-army halberd at the door pointed forward, and the soldiers were overflowing.

Huo Quai's pro-army is the elite of the elite, brave in a hundred battles, the momentum is released, the temperature outside the mansion is dropping, and the swords are clear.

Nomads eat the power of the people, and if you talk to them, they will secretly laugh and breed disrespect.

Pointed out by the pro-army soldiers, each awe-inspiring, led by Wuhuan and Buyeo envoys, lined up in a row, and entered the house under the guidance of the pro-army.

Huo Quzhi and Zhang Cigong took the first step and sat down in the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

After having a hostess in the family, especially if this hostess is still a princess, the atmosphere in the house is new.

Outside the main hall stood a row of little maids, cardamom in their prime, with fine skin and tender meat, and their faces were like freshly peeled eggshells, the kind that could produce water when pinched.

Huo Quzhi and Zhang Cigong sat down, and immediately had tea and snacks, which were sent like flowing water.

The tea is warm and the snacks are freshly baked.

Zhang Cigong was dumbfounded and looked at the well-trained and pleasing maid: "Go sick, the envoy of your house is the princess's person?" Can you go to my house and help train people? ”

"Something to talk about."

The subtext is that it's okay to get out.

Huo Quzhi and Zhang Cigong have a relationship with Wei Qing, they have known each other for many years, and they talk casually.

Zhang Cigong said: "The king of Huainan is plotting rebellion, I am implicated, if you don't protect me, I am estimated to be killed, and I will not say thank you."

The official position of a lieutenant in my Northern Army, except for the last time I led troops to Beiguan, let me go to the public office to be on duty, and received the official seal, and since then I have not been allowed to go to the public office director.

You can help me tell Your Majesty about the position of lieutenant in the Northern Army, and I still want to do it. ”

Huo Quzhi took a piece of snack, didn't eat at night, and was a little hungry.

Zhang Cigong's words, he did not respond.

Zhang Cigong observed his words: "I promise, this time I will never make a mistake on the issue of women, if I really can't help it, I will tell you who I want to steal first, you help me see if it is safe or not, and then I will decide whether to steal or not." ”

I'll fuck you, Zhang Cigong has this shameless energy.

Among the people Huo Quzhi knew, Liu Xiang and Zhang Cigong were frequent visitors to Willow Lane in Flower Street, and their lives were controlled by their waists.

"Your Majesty has not removed you from your post. You have also made meritorious contributions at the border during this time, and it is not difficult to return to work. ”

In fact, Huo Quzhi had already told the emperor about Zhang Cigong, and Liu Che agreed to stay for observation.

This time, Zhang Cigong came back and did not let him take the post of lieutenant of the Northern Army, which was at the behest of Huo Quai.

Zhang Cigong saw that beautiful women were easy to fall into, and it was better to steal from a practitioner, so he always thought about the women outside, so he had to beat him from time to time.

"If you can't help it, go to the women's house, and if you make the same mistake twice, you're not just stupid."

Zhang Cigong agreed repeatedly, saying that he would definitely guard his head this time and resolutely not to fall into the traps of others casually.

While he was talking, the envoys of all ethnic groups outside the door came in in a neat line.

There were also two figures who came in together, one was a big cat with a round belly, who had just finished dinner, and the jewel-like cat's eyes looked up and down at a foreign envoy.

Behind it was a fat tiger with an equally fat stomach and a round belly.

The big cat jumped onto the low seat in front of Huo Quai, his hind legs were together, his buttocks were pressed down, his front paws supported the table, and he sat firmly. The fat tiger also sat diagonally in front of it.

Huo Quzhi's eyes were burning, and he looked at the envoys of all ethnic groups.

The big cat also had cat's eyes burning, looking at the envoys of various ethnic groups.

The fat tiger also had a burning eye, examining the envoys of various ethnic groups.

“……”

The envoys of the various ethnic groups fidgeted and felt like three sessions of trial.

————

"My husband has entered the city, let's go back too."

Earlier, as soon as the sun set, Liu Qing set off from Liang Yuan, who was embroidering clothes, and was about to return home.

Huo went to the sick horse quickly, and arrived home first. When Liu Qing walked home, it was getting dark, and most of the people in Nancheng District were high-ranking households, with palace lamps at the door, illuminating the long street.

There was a close maid sitting in the car, talking to Liu Qing.

"My husband has been going to the military mansion in the afternoon for the past few days, and we will leave tomorrow when he leaves the military mansion, and we will return to the house at about the same time as my husband."

Liu Qing picked up the curtain and looked at the long street: "Let the person who embroiders the clothes pay attention to the whereabouts of that Bai Nanyu, what is wrong with her?" ”

The close maid replied: "She also returned to Chang'an a few days ago and stayed at home in Zhuo's Mansion." ”

"Well......" Liu Qing was about to lower the curtain when he heard the horse's hooves on the street like thunder, galloping close.

The guards of the forbidden army accompanying the car, as well as the people who embroidered clothes, tightened the formation at the same time and protected the car in the center.

Zhao Jing is the captain of the forbidden army, and Huo Qu is sick and arranges for the leader of the forbidden army to pick up Liu Qing to and from work.

"Princess, there is an attendant to guide the way among the riders, and they should go to the palace."

Zhao Jing was afraid that Liu Qing would be disturbed, so he reported: "These people may have urgent matters, so they still dare to ride and gallop near Weiyang Palace." ”

On the long street, a group of people are riding horses past the other side of the street.

Before Liu Qing lowered the curtain, in the middle of the staggered procession, a handsome young man in a black Hanfu looked in the direction of the car unscrupulously, and when he saw Liu Qing behind the curtain, the young man was amazed at a glance, and flashed his thoughts: There is such a beautiful woman in the world.

"This is Chang'an, if you come from outside to enter the palace, you need to remember to be around Weiyang Palace, and you are not allowed to ride."

It was Zhao Jing who spoke.

He is the Chang'an forbidden army, and he has the responsibility of guarding the stability around Weiyang Palace.

When one of the chamberlains who was in charge of leading the way on the other side saw the forbidden army, he glanced at Liu Qing's Luan driver again, and dared to hurriedly agree: "I know, people from Hexi, the first time I came to Chang'an Province, Your Majesty agreed, and I won't next time." ”

Zhao Jing snorted lightly, wondering where the imperial prince came from, and he didn't slow down when he approached Weiyang Palace.

The young man rode out of the distance, still reluctantly looking back at Liu Qing's car, and asked the attendant in front of him:

"Whose woman was it just now, she has such a look."

The chamberlain was taken aback: "It's the princess's Luan, Your Majesty's sister, and the wife of the champion Hou, you need to know that the trouble comes from the mouth, and you must be cautious in Chang'an." ”

The young man pursed his lips and chuckled, "I know, it's really verbose. Let's go, sister, don't wait. ”

After a while, the group came to Weiyang Palace and entered the inner courtyard of the palace.

The young man looked along the road and was shocked by the extravagance of the palace.

The emaciated chamberlain who led the way said: "The prince needs to be cautious, Concubine Jin complained of illness in the palace, and His Majesty allowed his family to visit in the palace." It was getting late, and it only took a quarter of an hour for the prince to withdraw and stay in the palace outside the palace, and he was not allowed to watch and stay in the palace at will. ”

The young man's face is cold, and he has a lot of rules in his heart, and he has suffered from his sister, and he will stay in this palace for the rest of his life.

Soon after, he was led to an independent palace in the Yuegui Courtyard of Weiyang Palace.

Even if you are a family member and want to meet with your concubines, you must have an internal attendant, and the maid must be accompanied by multiple escorts, and you are not allowed to meet alone.

After several inspections, the young man saw his sister in the main hall of the courtyard, Jin Ru, the new favorite concubine Jin Ru, who had been in the palace for less than two months.

She was born with eyes like autumn water, fine white skin, wearing a beaded hairpin, gorgeous clothes, hidden charm between her eyebrows and eyes, very beautiful, and tall and graceful.

"I heard that Sister Ah is sick, but she has been better." The young man's name is Jin Xu, and he is Concubine Jin's younger brother, and he asked with concern after the ceremony.

"It's just a little sick, it's not in the way."

The woman smiled lightly, and was very happy to see her younger brother, and said:

"It's a little late, I'll talk to you about other things tomorrow when you enter the palace, just one important thing. I beg Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows that you are cultivating the army, and it is expected to break into the realm of heaven and man, and I will allow you to join the forbidden army to listen to the errand.

You can join the forbidden army tomorrow, and if you have the opportunity in the future, I will help you move around. ”

Jin Xu frowned and said, "Forbidden Army? I thought I could become His Majesty's attendant. ”

"There are too many people staring at His Majesty's close attendants, and since the champion Hou was transferred from the position of his own attendants beside His Majesty, the threshold of this position has been raised. The champion Hou was able to stay by His Majesty's side, so he got the opportunity to lead the troops, and there are already many talented people who want to become His Majesty's close attendants.

Many people have tried it, but none of them have succeeded. ”

Concubine Jin smiled: "The people who are staring at that position have some origins, and we don't fight for this." ”

Jin Xu saw that his sister was worried that if he really went to fight for close servants, in case the emperor didn't take a fancy to it, there would be no other opportunities, so it would be better to start a little lower and be more secure.

Jin Xu felt a little displeased in his heart: "The forbidden army is forbidden to the army, what rank and position?" ”

"My sister was about to ask you, do you want to go to the Northern Army to retain it, or to go to the Southern Army Guard?" Concubine Jin said.

Jin Xu said: "It's good to go to Weiyang Palace to be on duty in the army." ”

Concubine Jin explained: "There is no quota for the Praetorian Guard Chinese Army in Weiyang Palace. His Majesty said that the forbidden army under the rule of the champion Hou, he did not interfere, and it was all up to the champion Hou to manage the army by himself, and it was inconvenient for you to enter. ”

Jin Xu remembered the beauty he saw in the car just now, his heart throbbed, and he subconsciously pursed his lips. When I first came to Chang'an, I felt the power of the champion Hou everywhere, and he was enviable.

In the future, when I have the opportunity to lead the troops, I should also aim for the champion.

"You go to the Southern Army or the Northern Army first, and soon Your Majesty will go spring hunting, you behave well." Concubine Jin said.

……

When Liu Qing returned home, the people of the various tribes had not yet left.

These foreign envoys came to give gifts, and by the way, they wanted to attack Huo Quai, so that he could say things in front of the emperor, so that their tribe did not have to relocate.

The gifts sent by a cadre were quite heavy, and Huo Qu received them all.

He took their goods and used them to strengthen the army, and when they were not satisfied, he led his troops to fight them.

At this time, a waitress came in with gentle steps and reported to Huo Quai: "Master Hou, the princess is back." ”

Huo Quzhi nodded slightly, and immediately let people send off the guests and return to the inner house.

The night is getting darker, early in the morning.

The princess will fall asleep, Huo Quzhi is also a little tired, and her daughter-in-law's physique is developing her potential after marriage, and her resilience is amazing.

It was not easy for Huo Quzhi to suppress Phoenix, and he also slept for a while.

In the dead of night, Huo Quai, who was sleeping soundly on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes.

There is a shadowy phantom who is sneaking into the mansion.

At the same time, at the main gate of the Hou Mansion, the deputy embroidered Shi Cao came quickly and asked the doorman on duty to inform him to see the champion Hou.

Ps: Let's talk about it, the family will go out the day after tomorrow, and it is estimated that there will be a change (on the number of words) from the day after tomorrow, ask for votes, thank you
