Chapter 248: Time flies! The prelude to the witch curse has officially begun

After Huo Guang was demoted, he stayed at the polytechnic institute he opened to teach science and engineering knowledge that was difficult for people to understand in this era.

Although the Han Dynasty was two thousand years ago.

But don't underestimate the wisdom of the people in this era, some simple knowledge, it is still easy for those children to learn.

Like the multiplication table we learned in elementary school.

There were people in the Qin Dynasty.

But.

The Qin Dynasty is pushed forward from ninety-nine eighty-one, and we are pushed backward from one by one.

Of course.

The most outrageous thing is not this.

The minimum multiplication table of the Qin Dynasty was not one to one, but two halves and one.

This is said to prove that the number of mathematics in the Qin Dynasty has involved the study of denominator.

As for why there is no minimum mantra for one to one.

Possible.

At that time, people thought this was too naΓ―ve and there was no need to think about it, right?

Pity.

The culture before the pre-Qin period was burned down by a reckless man, so he took away some real money and silver, and there was nothing left.

Of course.

Huo Guangke can't control the things before, and now he is only responsible for teaching these children to learn some science and engineering knowledge in junior and senior high schools, and he is happy to stay in the academy.

It's just the outside world, but it's not so calm.

His Majesty's snatching of the Marquis from Huo Guang is just the beginning. Later, nearly 100 marquis were successively seized.

Thereinto.

Including the second son Wei Budo and the youngest son Wei Deng, the general Wei Qing.

The history is called the loss of honorarium!

In fact, Wei Budo and Wei Deng, just like Huo Guang, belong to the purpose of showing and gagging those princes who have been cut down.

Huo Guang has just come back from Dawan's side, and he has merit, not only should he not take away the marquis, but he should also be rewarded.

Pity.

Hasn't the Marquis been stripped yet?

Wei Budo and Wei Deng are only twelve or thirteen years old at this time!

What is the connection between the gratuity case and the two of them?

It's been cut again.

Not to mention favored ministers like Gongsun He, Han Shuo, and Zhao Ponu.

Aren't they the marquis who went for the honorarium?

What does this have to do with them?

In the end, the marquis was also stripped of it.

The people around the emperor were all cut, and those ministers who were cut marquis, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only swallow it in their stomachs.

As time passed, gradually, things in the outside world seemed to have lost touch with Huo Guang.

The body of the great general Wei Qing is also aging day by day.

It may be that when he was young, he fought on the battlefield, and he had a dark disease on his body, and he aged much faster than normal people.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was still old and strong.

The general Wei Qing, but he can only lie on the hospital bed every day, looking old.

But even so.

Empress Wei Zifu still came over often and bothered the prince's situation with his younger brother. There is no other reason, in the past, the prince was the only son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although he didn't like it in personality, he was also spoiled.

But with the increasing number of princes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Gradually, he was no longer favored.

Thereinto.

In addition, some villains sow discord among them, and the crown prince grows up day by day, and is the most legitimate heir to the throne of the Han Dynasty, and he is also the most threatening person to the position of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Ordinary people may not feel the emperor's jealousy of the crown prince.

But most emperors were very worried about the next heir, and the temptation of power was really dizzying.

Many factors are superimposed, which makes Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, have subtle changes in his treatment of the crown prince.

And this!

This is also the reason why Wei Zifu is worried.

Even if the general Wei Qing was already overwhelmed, he had to get up from the hospital bed and go to the palace to speak for the prince.

This also led to the further aggravation of Wei Qing's condition.

The medical officers in the palace were all helpless about Wei Qing's condition, and Huo Guang had no choice.

Chang'an Avenue was deserted.

A group of people returned from afar, and when I looked closely, I saw that the middle-aged general who was leading the way had eyes like torches and a handsome face, it was the general Huo Qubing who had fled in embarrassment from the northern Huns!

Now it's back.

Uncle Wei Qing, who knew that his great general Da Sima, might not be able to survive, so he rushed back to Chang'an thousands of miles away.

When he came to the shogunate after a long absence, Huo Qu saw his uncle with a withered face and said something.

Subsequently.

called Huo Guang, who was teaching in the academy, over again.

It's been years since the brothers met.

"I heard that you won a battle in Dawan, but your Majesty took away the marquis, what's the matter?" Huo Quzhi asked.

Huo Guang didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "It's just fame, everything is rewarded by Your Majesty, and now that Your Majesty has cut it, it's not a big deal." ”

Huo Quzhi nodded, and then said, "Or, brother intercedes with His Majesty?" ”

If the champion Hou goes to intercede with His Majesty?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should give this affection, right?

But here's the thing!

If you give the champion a marquis, then should your majesty give it to the other people who have been stripped of the marquis?

When the time comes, His Majesty will be in a dilemma, and he will blame his brother.

Huo Guang didn't want his brother to fall into this little matter, so he said: "Brother doesn't have to be like this, in the battle of Dawan, the Han army lost eight or nine times out of ten, plus I was in the court, and there was indeed a lot of noise, which offended Long Yan." ”

"It's okay to be quiet now."

"Self-cultivation."

"When His Majesty needs to use me, he will not treat me badly."

The Han Dynasty had this article on military merits, requiring that the losses of its own army should not be too large, otherwise even if it won, it would be a mistake or a failure.

Although it was the army led by Li Guangli when he went to Dawan, most of the Han army was also folded in his hands.

But if the ruler doesn't care about it, then there is no way!

What is the saying?

I am the world!

Seeing that Huo Guang was so open-minded about being stripped of the Marquis, Huo Qubing was relieved, and said with a smile: "It's good that you can think like this, my brother has been outside the Saiwai for a few years, and his heart has been a lot quieter." ”

"Even I think that when I was young, I did some things."

"Now that I think about it, I'm so sorry."

Huo Quai, when he was young, was really the demon king of Chang'an City.

Later, he became a young general, but he was still restless.

There are many people who have been offended.

Thereinto!

The Taishi family bore the brunt of the attack, so the Huns who fought and fled in embarrassment Wei Qinghuo and the two of them only left a few sentences in the "Historical Records", and they were all not very good depictions.

But then again.

People are really going to change, when they are young, they look fierce and vicious, but when they reach middle age or old age, they will look kind and kind.

Huo Guang was a little surprised by the change in Huo Qu's disease, and said with a smile: "Brother, I still think that when you were a teenager, it was better." ”

When Huo Quzhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "Because you're like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to control Xi'er!" ”

"You're now, but you're skinning."

"I'm an uncle, if I want to take care of it, my sister-in-law will protect it, and now this kid knows that someone is protecting him, and he is lawless."

Hear this.

Huo Quzhi immediately showed a hearty smile, since he came back, first to see His Majesty, and then to the shogunate, so that he didn't have time to go home.

I haven't seen my wife and children for many years, and now when Huo Guang mentions it, he misses it even more.

So.

I want to go home.

A year after the general's death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sent Huo Qubing south to pacify Baiyue.

Although the Han Dynasty was already the king of the Central Plains, many small countries in the south were not really subjugated, and their territories had not really entered the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The calamity of the Xiongnu in the north was temporarily gone, and going south naturally became the main target of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Guang is still honestly a teacher in the academy.

Anyway, the businesses he started when he was a child are still crazy about money, and in terms of money, he is carefree.

Until this day.

Someone came to the palace, and someone let him enter the palace.

And the person who passed him into the palace was not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, but Empress Wei Zifu.

After seeing Wei Zifu, Huo Guang knelt down directly and said, "Commoner Huo Guang, knock on the queen's mother." ”

The queen mother immediately showed a smile on her face and said, "Huo Guang, don't be so restrained, your brother calls the general his uncle, and you should be the same." And this palace is also the general's sister, and we are also a family. ”

"It's a pity that my brother of the great general Da Sima has a bad life."

"Originally, I was full of merit, and when I should enjoy the glory and wealth, I returned to my hometown, eh."

The sadness on Wei Zifu's face didn't seem to be fake, after all, she and the general Wei Qing were sisters and brothers, and the family relationship was still very strong.

But Huo Guang is different.

Huo Guang has a paternal blood relationship with Huo Quzhi, and has nothing to do with the Wei family.

The queen is looking for herself at this time?

Isn't there anything to say?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang did not react to the queen's words, but asked directly: "I don't know the queen, what is there to do when you call the common people over this time?" ”

When Empress Wei Zifu heard this, the expression on his face changed, and he stared at Huo Guang for two seconds before he spoke: "It's nothing, just talk casually." The crown prince is now at a reckless age, and he does not think about things. ”

"Our Wei Huo family should help each other."

"It stands to reason that you are two years older than the crown prince, and you should be called cousin like your brother."

Is this a pull relationship?

Now that the general Wei Qing has died of illness, the only person in the Wei family who is really powerful is the queen mother.

But the queen's mother, Wei Zifu, is easy to age, and it is difficult to get the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che has a lot of warblers and swallows around him, and all of them are alluring. This is not like the three thousand beauties of the Manchu harem, the Manchu harem concubines are limited, and they can only be full of people and eight banner disciples, like Yongzheng's young concubine, which is just a rare example, and she can count it on one hand.

The purer the bloodline, the stupider and uglier the offspring will be.

Close relatives are like that.

The harem of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty is different, whoever is beautiful will be favored, and there is no identity limit.

Wei Zifu was beautiful when he was eighteen years old!

But can she be eighteen forever?

When you are thirty or forty years old, can you compare with those eighteen-year-old beauties?

A very simple truth.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can let the Wei and Huo families enjoy glory and wealth because of Wei Zifu, and in the same way, they can also let the families of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Gou Yi reach the same height.

Even if he is a virtuous defender, how can he not be in a hurry?

Now that I have found Huo Guang, the meaning is self-evident.

Outsiders can't be relied on, so their own family members naturally have to be wooed, which is to stabilize the relationship with the prince in the future.

The mother of the child is worried, this truth, even the queen mother is no exception.

Just like the prince was framed by those traitors in the palace in the future, Wei Zifu will still open the arsenal for his children.

Can the ending of history be changed?

Perhaps!

But Huo Guang never thought of wading into this troubled water.

A few years ago, when he returned from Dawan, he was robbed of the marquis by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, why did he not only have no complaints about this, but was he happier?

Naturally, it is to avoid this difficulty.

So.

Huo Guang said that it was impossible to join the princelings, so he simply said: "The queen mother should not humiliate the common people, the prince's status is noble, how can a country man like me cling to the relationship." ”

"Besides."

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the common people are blind, and they only recognize your majesty today."

's words directly blocked Wei Zifu's words.

No way.

The witchcraft that will happen later is very implicated.

Huo Guang must cut the relationship with these people, otherwise, in the later stage, whether he helps or not, he will inevitably die.

The crown prince rebelled.

If you don't help Your Majesty deal with the crown prince, it is a capital crime.

You helped Your Majesty deal with the crown prince, it was okay at first, but after a while, Your Majesty felt that it was you who caused him to lose his son in his old age, whether it was a traitor or a capital crime.

If you don't help on either side, you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Your Majesty thinks that you have ill intentions, and it is a capital crime.

It's also a good thing that my brother was transferred away from the political center.

This is probably the best ending for the Huo family.

In any case, Huo Guang rejected the relationship of the queen Laho's family at the first time. Although it may offend Empress Wei, in the long run, this is a decision-making problem.

As for why not try to change the ending?

It's very simple.

Doubt is guilt!

When Emperor Wu of Han didn't trust his crown prince, Huo Guang was useless in doing anything.

After coming out of the palace.

Huo Guang quietly taught in the academy.

With the passage of time, the great changes in the palace have officially begun, and the witch people have gradually spread to the harem.

Until the first year of Taishi, Wei Qing's former playmate and life-saving benefactor Gongsun Ao, because his wife was involved in witch Gu, implicated the whole clan and was destroyed, and the witch curse gradually kicked off.

Four years later.

In the first year of Zhenghe, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, Gongsun Jingsheng, embezzled 19 million money from the Northern Army without authorization as a servant, and was arrested and imprisoned.

The matter of the scourge of witchcraft.

It's finally going to affect the Wei family.

At this time, Huo Guang had already spent his youth and had already married a wife and had children.

Dong came over with chicken soup, put it in front of Huo Guang, who was compiling the book "Physical Principles of Quantum Theory", and said, "What kind of book is this writing again, husband, so wasteful and forgetful of sleep and food?" ”

Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "A book that I don't understand either." ”

"Oh?" Dong's face showed confusion and asked, "Since even the husband doesn't understand, what's the use of writing it?" Can anyone read it? ”

"Someone will understand later." Huo Guang put down the brush, then pulled the child to his side, and said, "My father has been eating less recently, and he can't eat much. ”

"This chicken soup is the most delicious when it comes to stir-fried rice."

"Here, let me taste it first!"

Huo Guang teased the child for a while, and at this time, Dong asked: "Husband, the Wei family brother has been looking for you recently, for the matter of the son of Prime Minister Gongsun being imprisoned, please discuss a way, do you really want to hide like this?" (End of chapter)
