Ren Hong was pigeoned by people, and was pigeoned by Zhao Chong.Even if he is a general who returns from defeat, it is not possible to bring troops into Beijing without permission, not to mention that his subordinates are no longer the Xiliang Army.At the beginning of October, Ren Hong returned to Wuyuan County to rest for a few days, and after receiving the edict of Chang'an, he ordered meritorious soldiers to go south with him.But when he arrived in Xihe County, the rear of the Han army, in mid-October to wait for Zhao Chongguo, he was waiting for a few captains, and Zhao Chongguo was unwell because of his old age, and the news that the Xiongnu were in the civil war on the right side of the Xiongnu, so he had to stay in Shuofang to observe the situation."
The Son of Heaven also agreed to this, so we followed the Marquis of Xi'an into the court."
After listening to Han Changzi's words, Ren Hong scolded in his heart: "Is General Zhao deliberately trying to harm me?
”This entry into the court is obviously for the triumphant return, the emperor for the meritorious soldiers to carry out the gift of the brigade, nothing more than to sacrifice prisoners, drink to the big reward and other steps, Ren Hong has participated many times.It can be different from the past, beheading the single and destroying the Huns, which is an unprecedented achievement since the Han Dynasty, and the Zhenluli must also be extraordinary, and may even exceed the honor of Huo Qubing after the Battle of Mobei.Looking at the government and the opposition, Ren Hong's meritorious service is unmatched, and he can't wait for more than one person to share it for him.As a result, when they were separated in Shuofang a few days ago, they were able to personally get off and off the horse, and Zhao Chongguo, who could eat three bowls of rice in one meal, actually pigeoned Ren Hong, and said that if he didn't go, he wouldn't go!
Then this revitalization brigade will not become Ren Hong's one-man show!
Ren Hong could understand Zhao Chongguo's thoughts, and the old general made a choice in Yuwushui, and gave the route to Yanran Mountain to find Shan Yu to Ren Hong, who was more suitable for this matter, so he passed by Dagong.Xin Qingji and Su Tongguo under him did not catch up with the decisive battle, at most there was an auxiliary merit, compared to the death battle of the Western Route Army, the Eastern Route Army destroyed the country and beheaded the chieftain, and the Middle Route Army was regarded as nothing.According to the Han system, Zhao Chongguo is considered to be vacant of the army, and I am afraid that he will not be rewarded.In that case, why did he go to Chang'an to act as Ren Hong's foil?
The old man is ambitious, and it is not pleasant to watch the junior latecomers prevail.Even if the emperor gave Zhao Chongguo meritorious service out of political considerations, for the old general with an upright character, this was tantamount to a great shame and humiliation, which was absolutely unacceptable, so he simply did not go."
Chaos and abandonment, General Zhao, you are chaotic and abandoned, who said that you want to give me a pocket, you can get it outside, and you won't go into it?"
Ren Hong can only be secretly full of resentment for hundreds of miles, unlike the "General's Three Arrows to Set the Tianshan Mountain", this time's fame is indeed not good.And when he arrived at the Xihe County Mansion, in Du Yannian's meaningful congratulations, he learned that the Son of Heaven actually wanted to let the military officials greet Ren Hong, his head was even bigger, and he immediately said to Du Tuo, who came to deliver the edict: "How can Hong He De, be able to receive such a heavy gift!?"
”Refuse, of course you have to refuse, and refuse three times in a row, because this gift is really out of specification.Since ancient times, monarchs have welcomed courtiers in the suburbs, mostly to show the courtesy and virtuous corporals, such as the Duke of Qi Huan Zeng suburb to greet Guan Zhong and ask Yan; When Zou Yan arrived in Yan Kingdom, King Yan Zhao personally swept the floor for him with a broom, afraid that the dust would fall on him.There are almost no meritorious generals to welcome, and Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty broke Zhao Yanyan to destroy Chu, the credit is big enough, right?
But Qin Shi Huang, who personally went to Wang Qian's house to invite him out of the mountain, did not go out of the suburbs to greet him, but personally went to the front line at the end of the war and handed over 600,000 troops to the general, even Qin Shi Huang could not be completely assured.There have been no similar examples since the Han Dynasty, and those with outstanding achievements, such as Zhou Yafu, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, etc., did not get to the suburbs, probably because they did not have any credit for Hongdae.Throughout the ancient and modern times, Ren Hong only thought of one example: King Zhou Cheng opened the queen of Jinkui, held the book and wept, and went out to the suburbs to welcome the Duke of Zhou, however, the grave grass of the "Han Zhou Gong" family in the mass burial palace outside Chang'an City has not yet grown.This is obviously not Liu Xun fainting out of joy, maybe it is another temptation for him After Huo Guang's death, the temptation between the two will happen from time to time, which is bound to happen.Fortunately, it was not that Ren Hong was suddenly given such a play when he arrived, but that he was notified in advance, and there was still room for maneuver.Ren Hong stopped directly in Xihe County and resolutely refused, and after three times, the edict was changed, and it became a suburb for the envoys and officials to welcome, and the hundred officials were in Hengmen Street in Chang'an City, and the Son of Heaven was waiting in Weiyang Beique.And the tone of the edict also became tough, anyway, it meant: "If the Marquis of Xi'an refuses again, I will be angry!"
”Ren Hong can only agree, but even if he thinks about the future history, the people who have received this treatment in all dynasties, Nian Qianyao and the like, basically have no good end, but this is a battle that he has to fight, and he has to bear it with tears.Fortunately, although Zhao Chongguo does not want to be a green leaf anymore, there is still one person who can save Ren Hong.Thinking of this, Ren Hong turned his head and looked at the person."
Help me one last time!"
At the end of October, the weather was getting colder, and Ren Hong also led the crowd to the suburbs of Chang'an, but it was raining lightly.Zhao Han'er rode in front of the carriage driven by Ren Hong, after passing Maoling, Weishui got closer and closer, looked at the familiar scenery, and sighed: "I especially remember the first year of Yuanting, which is also this season, we saved Wusun, beheaded the sages and returned." ”In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed, and Zhao Han'er, the original Xiaoqu chief, is now a liege, a lieutenant of a vassal country, and a great hero who surrounded and annihilated the Xiongnu Da Shan Yu, and Ren Hong ranked his merits first in the army.Ren Hong naturally remembered that the three generals in the east had few results in that battle, and Tian Guangming only brought back an embarrassing eighteen heads, and Ren Hong became the crown of the five armies.And today?
They are no longer the champions of horizontal comparison, but with the addition of vertical, they can't pick out the second place in the 140-year timeline of Dahan.Today, the Son of Heaven sent the Xuanjia Army of the country, and the five colonels of the Northern Army of the Light Car were arrayed from Chang'an to Benmen Bridge to welcome Ren Hong and the soldiers returning from the expedition.Hey, isn't this the configuration of the Son of Heaven for the funeral of the general?
How the living also enjoyed it.The guards stood on the side of the bridge, also majestic and mighty, looking at Ren Hong's eyes full of admiration and awe, to the extent that they did not dare to speak easily in front of him.Once he hoped to become Wei Huo.Now, he is Wei Huo.The young man who was shouted praise, choked for a while, and could only bow his head to tidy up his clothes to cover up with tears, is now in a very different state of mind, which may be the difference between striving for a goal when he was young and becoming famous.And after crossing the Benmen Bridge, the messenger of the Son of Heaven who said that he would come to the suburbs to greet him would be able to see the figure, but the strange thing was that all he saw were officials wearing black clothes and wearing a virtuous crown, and when he got closer to take a look at the current person, Ren Hong almost laughed out loud.Wei Xiang, whose face is like a Tianzi, Xiao Wangzhi, who is slender, Liang Qiuhe, who likes to play easy, and Gong Yu, who celebrates with a crown.Yo, isn't this the Confucian officials and doctors who have been openly and secretly opposed from the beginning to the end of the war?
I heard that when the news of Shan Yu's escape to the west came, this group of people became excited again and began to impeach the main battle faction, exaggerating the difficulty of destroying the Huns: "The Huns will be united and dissolved, and if they are attacked, they will die, and if they are attacked, they will be scattered, and they will not be able to do it for a lifetime!"
”Now that the facts have slapped his face, Ren Hong, who they regard as a thorn in the flesh, has made great achievements, and the Son of Heaven greets him with a heavy salute, so everyone except Wei Xiang with a very professional smile, the other elm heads are solemn, and their faces are full of unhappiness.Ren Hong felt that things had become interesting, and sent those Confucian officials who were most opposed to war to the suburbs to welcome the soldiers, Liu Xun really knew how to play, and I don't know if he wanted to make this group of people hate himself more, or humiliate them by the way?
Now, they should understand the true meaning of the era name "Jingning", right?
I didn't get angry with one or two people.For a moment, Ren Hong enjoyed this suburban welcome a little, until he arrived at the Hengmen of Chang'an, and saw the empty car of the Son of Heaven parked there.King Xiao of Liang entered Chang'an after the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and also took the car of the Son of Heaven, and there is no need to mention the later things The Confucian doctors only waited for Ren Hong to step on the car, and denounced the "transgression", but Ren Hong refused, and made a gesture to Shi Dan: "Hong dare not bear it, not to mention, Hong must drive another car into the city." ”So saying, he left the cart and boarded a cart that followed it, carrying a richly decorated coffin."
General Sima Wei, this is" Stan recognized, the horse pulling the cart was actually Xi'an Hou's most beloved horse, and it was already the "radish" of the world's famous horses!
Ren Hong stroked the coffin and sighed: "This is General Yan Ran's coffin and coffin. ”This is the coffin made by Ren Hong for Fu Jiezi in Wuyuan County, pretending to be the armor worn by Fu Jiezi when he was injured, Fu Chang has taken Fu Jiezi's body back to Beidi County to settle down, but Ren Hong still insists on carrying the empty coffin to Chang'an.He needed Fu Jiezi to help him one last time.I also want to accompany Fu Jiezi to complete this glorious road full of thorns.Speaking of which, radish is a gift from Fu Jiezi to himself after the first meeting in Hanging Spring.Ren Hong refused to call the Yellow House, and Stan did not dare to make a decision on his own, so when the follow-up soldiers arrived, he hurriedly entered the city to report, and came out again after a short time, saying that the Son of Heaven allowed it.Ren Hong and his entourage entered, the horizontal door has been completely opened, inside is a sea of joy, love to see the lively Chang'an citizens, today will see the big things they have not encountered for several generations, the nine cities are closed today, Xi'an Hou They have seen it many times, but it is the first time that it is unprecedented!
Is it like the legend, a beast that can eat living people, and has a pair of mule ears?
The people were stopped by Zhijinwu, on both sides of Hengmen Street, were the military officials who were asked by the Son of Heaven to come to greet them, and they lined up from the north of the Yanggong Palace, and the closer they got to Hengmen, the lower their rank, but people below 400 stones were not even qualified to participate in this ten-mile long street to welcome Renhou.Close to the location of the North Que, it is already two thousand stones, they are under the request of the Son of Heaven, the etiquette, those who are old and old, and a little unwilling, there are also Ren Hong's old friends such as Zongzheng Liu De, for fear that Ren Hong will be complacent, and he will be complacent, and he will accept the great gifts of the hundred officials calmly, and he will not look at it, but just nod, and then I am afraid that it will be said that "no one is courteous".This kind of high-standard treatment is an honor and a terrible trap, depending on how the person concerned steps on it.What they saw, however, was a shocking scene.Xi'an Hou came, but he didn't ride a horse, or even a car, but walked into Chang'an, holding the halter of radish in one hand, pulling a chariot carrying a coffin, and slowly walked towards Beique!
