[Volume 1] Verse 176: The murderous intent of the storm

------------

Who said that the heart of an emperor is made of iron?

Who said that an emperor's heart doesn't hurt?

When the pain suddenly □□, it is so heartbreaking, it is so cruel and unforgiving. Liu Che was thrown into the abyss, except for the darkness, only the cold...

If you lose your wealth, he won't hurt, if you lose a woman, you won't hurt, if you lose your minister, you won't hurt, but if you lose Huo Quai, he will hurt.

Huo Qubing is like his child, he watched him grow up and watched him make great achievements. Huo Qubing is even more proud of him, and he is an invincible genius.

"This stupid boy, how can he just say go?"

As soon as Liu Che closed his eyes, Huo Quzhi's voice and smile appeared in front of him, and sometimes, he didn't even believe that Huo Quzhi was no longer alive.

"How can you leave like this, do you still have the emperor in your eyes? I ordered you to stay in my Xuanshu Palace, and you can't go anywhere! Liu Che sometimes threw the utensils, sometimes muttering, sometimes screaming. In the silence of the court, his voice was particularly bleak.

After a few sleepless nights, he was tired, tired like never before.

Maybe he was too tired, he actually fell asleep cross-legged, and when the favorite concubine came to take care of him, he found that he still had Huo Quai's recital in his hand.

"Ugh." Liu Che woke up from his sleep again, like a man who had been walking in the dark for a long time, and suddenly his hands had strength, and he raised his hands to tear the darkness apart, and there was another pain.

He tried to calm his mind, after all, he was the king of a country, and he was responsible for the safety of the world, and he had no reason to let pain drown out his reason.

Liu Che got up and found that a lot of twists and turns had accumulated on the dragon case, but now, he thought that there was a more important thing to do—-- Huo Quai's aftermath.

The only thing he can do now is to do his best to give the greatest honor to this genius general who is as gorgeous as a meteor, so that he will be immortalized in history.

He summoned the important ministers and asked for the title of the champion, the funeral, and the tomb.

Soon after, there was a rough line, the champion Hou was called Jing Huan Hou, the so-called Bu Yi Xing just said Jing, and the soil was far away from Huan. This nickname is also the best summary of Huo Quzhi's short life.

Huo Quai's tomb is circled in the northeast of Maoling, and now to see, the bottom of the tomb is 105 meters long from north to south, and 73 meters wide from east to west. The top is 15 meters long from north to south, 8 meters wide from east to west, and the mound is about 25 meters high. Liu Che demanded that the tomb be built in the shape of Qilian Mountain, in order to prosecute his great exploits in moving to Hexi and attacking Qilian Mountain.

In addition, Liu Che ordered that on the day of the funeral, the five counties in the border area selected to send the soldiers from Chang'an to the Mao Mausoleum Cemetery in line, and he wanted to personally mourn and send the love to the last journey.

The Wei River whimpered, and the sheng drum hissed.

The streets of Chang'an have become a sea of sadness, tears and white flowers are floating all over the streets and alleys, and the air is filled with a bleak atmosphere, making everyone feel irrepressible hurt and pain.

The solemn soldiers looked at the coffin of the champion Hou, recalling the days when the champion Hou led them to fight bloodily.

The people spontaneously followed behind the funeral procession, weeping over the loss of such a talented general for the country.

When Liu Che came to the tomb of Huo Quai, looked at the stone statue of the horse stepping on the Huns, and looked at the moment when a handful of loess covered the coffin, Liu Che could no longer hold back his tears, even if his subjects were around, he didn't care.

In this world, there is nothing that can vent the pain in my heart more than tears. If there is one thing in this world that can sting people's hearts, it is tears.

Who said that emperors don't have tears?!

Who said that the emperor didn't have pain?!

Huo Quai, Champion Hou, you're gone, you're really gone.

You're gone, but you're alive in everyone's hearts. Your figure is fixed in the best years of your life, you are young, but you are born with a heroic tiger. You have terrified the enemy, you have won the self-esteem of the Han people, you have opened up territory for the Han people, and you are worthy of a hero who shocked the past and the present.

After sending Huo Qu's illness away, Liu Che's heart was empty.

He walked in vain, a brave young general would die of a violent illness, which seems too unreasonable, although the imperial court's edict has clarified the cause of Huo Qu's death, but, just like Li Kang's death, Huo Qu's death also attracted rumors in Chang'an City.

Liu Che can only tell all parties like this, in the past two years, things have happened one after another, otherwise, the situation is unstable.

Although Liu Che wanted to calm things down, he finally did it, and someone had to pay the price for Huo Qu's death.

They are the Wei family.

Wei Qing is naturally not among them, Wei Qing is a loyal and cautious person, Liu Che knows that no matter how he suppresses Wei Zunhuo, the relationship between Wei Qing and Huo Quai's uncle and nephew will not deteriorate.

In the same year, Wei Qing's eldest son, Yichun Marquis Wei, committed the crime of overbearing the edict and lost the title. In the second year, Cao Xiang, the son of Princess Pingyang, died, and the cause of death was unknown. Soon after, Liu Che ordered Cao Xiang's widow to remarry Fang Shi Luan Da with Wei Zifu's eldest daughter, and soon executed Luan Da.

Five years later, Wei Qing's second son, Yin Anhou, and Ganhou Wei Deng committed the crime of gold and lost the title. Wei Qing's eldest brother-in-law, Gongsun He, lost the marquis.

In the fifth year of Yuanfeng (106 BC), Wei Qing died, Wei Yan was not qualified to inherit the throne, and the Wei family lost all their titles, and almost fell into a desperate situation.

If Liu Che stopped here, everyone would be happy, and they would still have their lives, but in the more tragic witch Gu disaster later, it was not as simple as seizing the title and losing the marquis, because Liu Che even wanted their lives.

Buddhism has clouds, a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant.

Huo Quai's death became a cause of tragedy, and his death may have contributed to Liu Che's temperament change, and cruelty gradually crept into his heart, and then tragedy after tragedy.

At the beginning of the second year of Yuan Ding (115 BC), a year after Huo Qu's death, another group of ministers relied on by Liu Che went to a dead end.

Among them, there are the first and second leaders in the imperial history system, the famous imperial history doctor Zhang Tang, the imperial history of Cheng Li Wen, the first and second leaders in the administrative system, the honest prime minister Zhuang Qingzhai, the prime minister Zhu Maichen, the third chief of the prime minister, the dynasty, and Bian Tong.
