Chapter 264: A Thousand Miles Lead


"Did Xi'an Hou see a meteor this morning?"

In April, when Jiashen was eating, I heard that the Hou family of Xi'an had returned to Shangguanli to live, and Liu Yi had come to visit for the first time, talking about a strange thing he had heard in the morning."

The prison gate said that before and after the rooster crows this morning, there are meteors, as big as the moon, which draw a line in the sky, and all the stars are traveling westward, and Chang'an City can see it clearly."

Ren Hong shook his head and said, "I didn't see it when I got up late, I only heard people talk about it." ”This is a strange celestial phenomenon in Dahan, and it happened at such a sensitive juncture, which made Chang'an people either worried or excited.It is the old man and Confucian who are worried, and the young man who is excited is Liu Aiji."

Although Xi'an Hou doesn't believe in Tianrui, thunder and lightning can't be counted, but the sun, moon and stars, but it still seems to have something to do with the world."

Liu Yi has already talked about some rumors he has heard: "In August of the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a long star out of the east, long and long, and thirty days later, after which there was the name of Yuanguang.There are divination people who occupy it, thinking that the long star is the Chiyou flag, once the world, the king will conquer the Quartet.Sure enough, after that, Emperor Xiaowu punished the four soldiers for decades. ”And in April of the fourth year of Yuanjia, Changxing came out of the northwest again.At that time, it was especially true of Vahu. ”He asked Ren Hong in a low voice: "Now that Changxing has reappeared, and Wusun is in a hurry, the Marquis of Xi'an, is the imperial court going to use troops against the Huns?"

I have heard some news in the market in the past few days, saying that the general wants to send more than 100,000 troops, and cattle, horses and donkeys also have this number, following the current affairs of Emperor Xiaowu, and dividing the road to crusade against the Xiongnu, is it true?

”Of course it's true, since Huo Guang is making a decision, and the emperor is okay, it's basically decided.China and North Korea are still making final plans, but they have not been officially announced, but they have been leaked.Ren Hong carefully sorted out the whole thing, there are quite a few people who know about this discussion, a certain Chinese and North Korean bigwig's drunken remarks, and the broken tongue of Shangshutai officials may leak secrets.But the object of his suspicion is aimed at the person who has the most benefit in this matter.Emperor."

This small county official, who has not left too many deeds in history, is really unwilling to be a puppet."

Also, not only is the power falling, but even the palace people are intervened by Mrs.

Huo whether they wear underwear or not, although Huo Guang is known as the "Duke of Zhou", but the Huo family's high-flying posture of treating themselves as royals, standing in the position of the emperor, does not look like a pure minister.Liu Fuling is very smart, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave up several other adult sons, and insisted on letting his young son be the emperor, I am afraid that it is not only to pamper him, but to take a fancy to his early wisdom.On the surface, he never confronted Huo Guang, but secretly he was also trying to manage his own forces.From Ren Hong's few conversations with him, it can be found that the emperor is not superstitious about the Five Classics of Confucianism, but since he was sensible, he not only worshipped Wei Xian, the leader of Luxue, and Cai Yi, the master of Han poetry, as his teacher, but also worked hard to promote Confucianism. ”Coupled with the almost annual tax reduction and rent exemption, the clear stream of public opinion is getting better and better for the little emperor.On the contrary, the Confucian scholars became more and more disappointed with the general Huo Guang.In the past ten years, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu are still fighting intermittently, but most of them are defensive counterattacks, following the principle of "today's affairs, prohibiting harshness, stopping unauthorized endowments, strengthening the peasants, repairing horses and reinstating orders, to make up for the shortcomings, and not lack of armaments".Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not directly deny the expeditions of the past few decades in his edict, it was considered a sign of a change of course.Now, Huo Guang not only restarted the operation of the Western Regions, but also wanted to take advantage of the rescue of Wusun to send a large army to attack the Xiongnu, which was a huge turn in the Luntai edict and was bound to trigger a violent backlash.In the eyes of the virtuous scholars who helped Huo Guangdou Sang Hongyang back then, tried to overthrow salt and iron, and fundamentally denied the conquest of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the general was a scumbag who threw it away when he ran out.The sense of anger of betrayal, coupled with the long star that crossed the sky this morning, is bound to be used by the Dr.

Qi Xue to make a big fuss, causing a series of turmoil in the government and the opposition.And the spearhead will be pointed at Huo's.Of course, a group of public intellectuals criticized it could not stop this war, but it was enough to unite a group of voices opposing Huo Guang in the government and the opposition and hoping that he would return to power as soon as possible.It's good that this battle is won, but if it is lost, or the profit is not big, hey, Huo Guang is afraid that he will be on pins and needles.On the other hand, sending the Huo family's son-in-law Jin Xian, who is not easy to be suspicious of Huo Guang, to participate in the Battle of Hehuang, and wooing Ren Hong in Weiyang Palace, this is to cultivate people who are loyal to themselves in the army.One is smart and precocious and unwilling to be lonely, and the other is domineering and unwilling to let go of power, of course, it is impossible to sit down and talk openly, which will cause trouble sooner or later for "Zhou Gong" and "Cheng Wang"."

The local emperor has to ask for the secret edict of the shogunate, and the army overthrows the shogunate of the great Sima general, and then the great government is returned and the king is reinstated?"

This plot is so familiar, but Ren Hong shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”Liu Fuling didn't know that when he patted Ren Hong on the shoulder and said, "I Zhiwei Huo".What Ren Hong pondered in his heart was when Liu Fuling would die!

But if you want to make a difference, why not Liu Fuling?

For example, Liu Ai on the other side, the emperor's great-grandson seems to talk a lot today, and the wine can't stop pouring into his mouth, one moment excited, and the other sighing.When Liu Yi came today, he brought some baby clothes, which were sewn by his wife Xu Pingjun himself."

How can the Hou family in Xi'an lack these?"

Liu Yi didn't think so, but his wife reminded him.Xu Pingjun said to him: "This is made by the concubine herself, and it is different from buying, a trace of a thread, a warp and a weft, all of which are human affection and intentions." ”When she gave birth, the Xi'an Hou family helped a lot, and recently, Mrs.

Xi'an Hou is getting closer to the delivery period, Xu Pingjun has not been running to Bailuyuan, and even staying for several days.As a result, when he came back, he learned to ride a horse, and sure enough, the Marquis of Xi'an was very happy to see Xu Pingjun's baby clothes, and he was sick and had been drinking.The wife is very thoughtful in receiving people and things, and she is becoming more and more suitable for the identity of a housewife, but Liu is sick, and the depression in her heart is better than one day.A year ago, on the day of the marriage of the Marquis of Xi'an, Liu Ying already had this thought, feeling like a horse trapped in the imperial stable, seemingly able to roam freely in Jingzhao, but in fact there were railings and walls everywhere.He is actually very envious of Ren Hong, not because of his achievements and wealth, but because he can act, fearless of thorns, and break the shackles of stigma imposed on him by his grandfather's sins.Sometimes Liu Fuling would think that if he was not left in the county prison, but sent to a distant place, such as Dunhuang, what would have happened?

What happens when you run away as an adult, go incognito, and live a different identity?

He stared at the high wall for a long time, and sometimes he wanted to hit it open, and the eldest husband should be a sword in the world, and An Neng was kept in captivity for a lifetime like a boy.But Liu Yi finally lowered his head and turned around like resignation, just for his wife and daughter, his little wife, all he wanted was peace.But today, when the news that the Han wanted to conquer the Xiongnu again came out, and when the long star that heralded the coming of the great era crossed the sky, Liu Aiji's heart throbbed again, and he couldn't help but ask more about Ren Hong's campaign in Hehuang and the preparations for the Xiongnu war."

The Marquis of Xi'an is familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions and Wusun, and he will definitely go on the expedition, and he will be the general of the first army when the time comes, right?"

Liu Yi was just guessing, and Ren Hong hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't have a general, I attach you old generals Jiwei, at most I will be a lieutenant." ”Although the little emperor promised to let him lead an army alone, Ren Hong also promised at the moment, but he always felt that this matter could not be done.Liu Yi didn't know that he was just like those weak-crowned teenagers under twenty on the streets of Chang'an, excited about the upcoming expedition.Finally, when he was drunk, Liu Yi had already said what he had hidden in his heart for a long time."

The final army once said that there is a police force at the border from time to time, and the eldest husband should be stubborn, as a stone, and move forward.""

Even my father-in-law, the people who don't dare to kill chickens, because they were born when they conquered Siyi, they were all named Guanghan by their parents.""

I am not only a descendant of Emperor Gao, but also a citizen of the Han Dynasty, and I want to make meritorious contributions to the country when the war is about to arise."

Ren Hong said with a smile: "There are also those who enlist in the clan to serve the country, Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, he is fifteen years old and has courage.Shangshu asked himself to attack Wu, and was appointed as a general, and Wu Po was migrated as the king of Jiangdu. ”Liu Yi had already looked at the cup in his hand, and said quietly: "But when Emperor Xiaowu succeeded to the throne and the Huns entered the border, Liu Fei wrote a letter to fight the Huns, so he was not allowed." ”That's natural, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is very suspicious of his brothers, and Liu De, the king of Hejian, is angry with yin and yang when he engages in academics, not to mention Liu Fei?

In fact, the Han Dynasty did not completely prohibit the clan from being officials, for example, Liu Quyu, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, was after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, and the current Zongzheng Liu De was the Chu Domain.But only Liu is ill, as the grandson of Prince Wei, it is a miracle to be alive, and if you don't act, you will be stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and you dare to write a book to attack the Huns?

I'm afraid I won't even be able to live a peaceful day.Liu Ai and Ren Hong both knew this, and they were speechless for a while, and only in the end, Liu Ai had toasted Ren Hong and said: "I hope that Xi'an Hou Wude Changlong can make great contributions like Wei and Huo, and destroy the Huns for the Han Dynasty with the soldiers and seal the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households." ”He laughed at himself again: "Although I can't catch up with the Huns, but after looking at the map, I know that the world is big, isn't there still the remnants of the previous dynasty in the west?"

In the future, when the Marquis of Xi'an is going to crusade against Great Qin, please call me to be a pawn!

”"Definitely!"

Ren Hong raised the lamp, but he knew very well that it was too difficult.On that day, Liu Ai was already drunk, Ren Hong was also drunk, and when the cups and plates were messy, he patted Liu Ai on the shoulder and asked him: "The emperor's great-grandson, where are your ambitions?"

Do you really just want to be a soldier under your account?

”"Of course not."

Liu Yi was already drunk, and his voice was a little higher: "I don't want to be unknown for the rest of my life." ”"I want to be like the Marquis of Xi'an, and get the opportunity to be ashamed of my grandfather and correct the name of the family."

Liu Yi raised a finger, pointed to the sky and said: "If he has the opportunity one day, I am willing to be the general of the Han Dynasty, go to Daqin, go to thousands of miles away!"

”He burped, regained the look of that day in Baling County, Hengjian stood in front of the door, and laughed: "Then, you can go rampant in a foreign land and never come back!"

”When the servant was carrying Liu Ai home, Ren Hong stopped at the door, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly pointed to Liu Ai and said to Xia Dingmao on the side: "Xia Weng, have you seen it, there is a thread behind the emperor's great-grandson." ”"Line?"

Xia Dingmao didn't understand, and squinted his eyes for a while: "Could it be a spider web?"

It must have been a slave who was lazy and didn't sweep the door properly. ”"Yes, there are cobwebs, too."

Ren Hong was full of wine, and sat on the threshold, with some helplessness in his eyes.In Weiyang Palace, he saw a small cricket enshrined on the imperial couch, trapped in exquisite lacquer, struggling in the net.And in the weeds next to Shangguanli, there is a small grasshopper that wants to jump out of this threshold and go to the wider world.Oh yes, and that dumb moth in Changyi country, who doesn't know his fate.Even Huo Guang, who has filled Chang'an and the world, seems to have everything under control.Behind these people, there is an invisible thread pulling them, and the other end of the thread is connected to the sky.They don't know where they are in the game, but Ren Hong, a little butterfly from the future, can see the "line", can it be called historical inertia or fate?

Ren Hong saw the other side of Liu Fuling in the Weiyang Palace a few days ago, knowing that he wanted to make a difference, and after chatting with Liu Yi in depth today, he knew his ambition and felt that his fate was impermanent.And Ren Hong himself had a little thought of "whether it is better to help Liu Yi cut off this line", so he suddenly realized and touched his back."

Xia Weng, do I have a wire behind my back?"

Does he still think he's an outsider?

The stronger the sense of mission and the more self-righteous he is the savior, the tighter this thread will be tied."

The gentleman is really drunk."

Xia Dingmao also sat down beside Ren Hong, reminding Ren Hong not to be so greedy for wine again, but he still squinted his eyes and looked behind him: "The brocade dress worn by the gentleman is made by the best weaver girl in Chang'an, and it is sewn so well in every warp and weft, how can there be any stubble." ”Lao Xia pointed to the servants who wore sackcloth and grazed clothes and cleaned up the cups and plates, those ordinary people who faced life and death with a decision made by the "big man" and were cut off the thread of fate.smiled: "There are so many threads on their bodies!"
