Shuofang is a county established by Qin Shihuang, located in the south of the Yellow River.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, when the heroes were competing in the Central Plains, they were seized by the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu's forward force in Shuofang was only 700 miles away from Chang'an City, and the light cavalry could cover the entire distance in one day and one night.
Every time the Huns launched an invasion in Shuofang, Chang'an City would be under martial law.
After Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne, he was determined to get rid of this thorn in the side of the Han Empire.
In the second year of Yuanshuo, General Wei Qing left the fortress from Yunzhong and led his army westward.
On one hand, he cut off the retreat of the Xiongnu in Henan, and on the other hand, he surrounded and attacked.
He drove out the troubled Xiongnu forces in Henan, led by King Aries and King Loufan, and regained the territory in one fell swoop.
Henan.
Liu Che immediately ordered 100,000 people to immigrate to the Henan area and build Shuofang City.
However, the Huns were unwilling to lose the strategically important Henan area, so they frequently sent troops to attack Shuofang City.
In order to defend the Henan area and consolidate Shuofang City, in the summer of the sixth year of Yuanshuo, Liu Che ordered Wei Qing to be the general, Heqi Hou Gongsun Ao to be the lieutenant general, Taiservant Gongsun He to be the left general, Xihou Zhao Xin to be the former general, and Weiwei Su Jian to be the general.
The general on the right, Lang Zhongling Li Guang, is the rear general, and Li Ju, the inner historian on the left, is the strong crossbow general.
General Wei Qing led the Sixth Army to attack the Xiongnu from Dingxiang.
Eighteen-year-old Huo Qubing was appointed as the captain of Piao Yao, commanding the 800-year-old Yulin men, and accompanied his uncle Wei Qing and uncle Gongsun He on the expedition.
I sat on the top of the big tree and looked at the road in the distance.
Under the golden sunlight, the iron armor and the gun head reflected little bits of silver light, making people squint their eyes slightly.
Huo Qubing was wearing black armor and riding a horse at a gallop.
Compared with the wide-sleeved toga and military uniform, he is a little less casual and suave, a little more brave and brave, and truly heroic.
After not seeing him for a month, his skin turned almost bronze, as if he had been exposed to the sun every day.
Even though we were far away, I could still feel the tight chill in his heart.
I suddenly felt that he was very much like my kind, very much like the wolf brother who was just beginning to show his talents in the wolf pack.
Back then, every time the wolf brother had a major attack, he would , even under his calm expression, there is a momentum of going forward and never looking back.
From time to time, his eyes would glance at the roadside.
I stood up straight and stared at him from a protruding branch.
He finally caught my eye, and I waved to him with a smile, pointing in the direction of Yipinju in Chang'an City.
He sat upright on the horse without moving, his horse speed did not slow down at all, and his condensed expression did not change at all.
When their eyes met, his horse had already passed the tree where I was, and I turned around to watch him go.
Quickly disappear in the smoke.
As soon as I entered the city gate, I met Shi Shenxing and Shi Feng who were about to leave the city.
Shi Feng stuck his head out of the carriage and shouted "Sister Yu" to me several times, stopping me.
I said to Shen Xing: "Brother Shi, how come you, my apprentice, don't have any of your demeanor?"
Shen Xing showed a faint smile and looked at Shi Feng without answering my words.
Shi Feng snorted, "Jiu Ye has already said that true temperament is the most important thing in people.
People who like to talk will talk, and people who don't like to talk won't talk.
Why do you have to force yourself not to talk if you like to talk?
I thought back then, I was a fool With one mouth to eat everywhere, I" I said happily: "Why did you stop me?
Are you still talking about ancient times with me here?"
Shi Feng glared at me, "Master Jiu seems to have sent someone to find you."
After hearing this, I smiled and said, "Thank you very much." ", turned around and left.
In the bamboo pavilion, the sun is warm and the breeze is clear, and the green bamboos are lingering.
Mr.
Jiu is wearing a navy blue robe and is feeding the pigeons.
As soon as I walked into the yard, the pigeons on the ground rose into the sky one after another.
Between the white fluttering fans and the shocking light and shadow, But I only saw that soft blue.

He asked me to sit down, and I asked with a smile: "What do you want from me?"
He poured me a cup of tea and said nothing while he was pondering.
I stopped smiling and said softly: "You don't have to have any scruples when talking to me."
He looked at me and said, "It's just a bit difficult to understand.
Shi Fang, I want to ask you to borrow a large amount of money.
According to common sense, I should tell you the use of the money and let you consider whether you are willing to lend it, but I cannot tell you where the money is going.
If the business goes well, Shi Fang should be able to do it next year. return."
I smiled and said, "No problem.
If you put such a big stone boat there, am I still worried about how much money you will charge?"
He dipped his hand in some tea and wrote a number on the table.
I gasped and looked up at him.
Looking at my expression, he suddenly shook his head and laughed, "Don't be afraid, I already have more than half, and the rest is You can pay as much as you can, don’t force it.”
I wrinkled my nose, "Who's afraid?
It's just that I need some time.
I should be able to come up with the rest."
Master Jiu was a little surprised and joked: "Are you asking the girls in your garden to borrow it again?"
I half-smiled and half-angered, "Why do you look down on people so much?
Now half of the song and dance studios in Chang'an City are under my name.
Which business is not good enough to make other song and dance studios jealous?
Although this spring, the business of the song and dance studios is not as good as last year, but Luoyu Because of the appearance of a palace musician and a beautiful lady, the impact was not great.
Most people can't even get in.
There is only one Tianxiangfang outside that is doing well. " Master Jiu said with a smile: "Your business is good, but you have spent a lot of money in the past.
I still know these accounts in my heart.
If it were delayed for another two years, it would not be surprising that you could turn around this money, but now it is always It’s a bit strange.”
I hummed, “If I don’t tell you now, I’ll send you the money later, and you’ll have nothing to say.”
Returning to Luoyufang in the evening, after dinner, Hong Gu and I checked the account carefully under the lamp.
We found that by sweeping from the inside to the outside, and then from the outside to the inside, not a single copper plate was missed, and it could be removed.
The money is only one-third.
I knocked on the bamboo slips depressedly, "It's true that when money comes to be used, I hate that I should have known earlier that I should be more greedy."
Honggu rubbed her brows and said, "What does it mean to be too little?
What do you want with so much money?"
I chuckled and said, "I won't tell you until I succeed in doing business.
Well, where is the property account that the princess has given me all the time?"
Hong Gu pulled out a roll of bamboo slips and gave it to me, "I knew you should take advantage of them. ” I lowered my head to take a closer look and muttered: "Mrs.
Li is saying that she wants to reward me.
Why haven't you seen anyone?
This girl has used so many of our fine pearls and various supplements, and she doesn't think about paying it back to me with interest.
I think I You should talk to Master Li."
Hong Gu stretched out her waist, covered her mouth and yawned, "Little money fan, you can count slowly.
I have to go to other gardens early tomorrow morning and I don't have the energy to make noise with you."
After she said that, she left. , I quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, I'll sign the papers for you before you leave."
"What kind of evidence is there?"
Hong Gu asked.
I lowered my head to look for the silk.
"What kind of evidence did I use to misappropriate the money?"

Honggu laughed and scolded, "Are you confused in counting money?
This money is yours.
If you want to use it, why don't you give me a document?"
I dragged her to sit down, "Half of the money is mine and half is yours."
Honggu looked at me blankly for a long time, and finally said: "You have given me a lot of money on weekdays, and you always let me pick out anything fun and useful."
I shook my head and said: "How often have I worried about the daily chores in the garden?
I am busy from morning to night on weekdays.
Which girl has a little temper, which girls are vying for the limelight and secretly scheming.
You are in charge of it.
I rarely go to other places.
I want to go to my garden, but where can I find it?
I know clearly who is responsible for any trouble.
The princess is giving this thing because of Mrs.
Li.
But you actually spent more energy than I did to send Mrs.
Li to the palace, so each of us will get half of the money. fair."
Hong Gu murmured: "You can find a smart person to do those jobs."
I laughed: "When did you learn to be humble?
You can find a smart person to do it.
I have been looking for so long.
I want to find someone to share some of your work."
It's hard work, but there is no suitable one at all.
Now you can only learn from Shi Fang and let the smart and studious little girls follow you in and out.
See if two or three can come out after three or four years. " As I picked up the pen and started writing, I said: "Don't refuse anymore, otherwise I will feel uneasy in the future.
Besides, why should we be so pretentious about giving in?"
Honggu sat quietly for a while, then laughed: "I'm sleepy. , when the money arrived at the door, I pushed it out.
Hurry up and write.
After I finished writing, I put it away carefully, and I can sleep peacefully. " I smiled and handed the cloth to Honggu.
Honggu folded it casually, put it in her arms, and walked out the door with the willows swaying in the wind.
After I counted the money, I looked at the lights and thought for a while, then took out a silk handkerchief and wrote: "I'm very happy that you asked me to borrow money today.
It's not difficult for Shi Fang to borrow money in Chang'an City, but you asked me.
At least you believe me.
Shi Fang's business, except for jade and medicinal materials, It's shrinking.
Although a new jade field has recently been opened outside, there are no There is no place that needs such a large amount of money.
Although it is a lot of money, Shi Fang has been operating for decades.
How could Shi Fang not be able to get it?
Where did Shi Fang's previous money go?
How do you want to use this money?
I heard about the Western Regions.
A once-in-a-century hailstorm destroyed farmland and pastures Sixty-seven times out of ten, many unborn young animals were killed.
In addition, the Han Dynasty was at war with the Xiongnu.
Many people had starved to death in the war and turmoil.
Are you a sympathizer for the countries in the Western Regions?
If so.
Really, I am willing to give everything I have and do my best to help you "I bit the brush rod in my mouth, silently lost in thought.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
All signs showed that my previous guess seemed to be completely correct.
Jiuye and Li Yan had the same purpose: Li Yan wanted to try his best to stop the Western expansion of the Han Dynasty, while Jiuye seemed to I hope the countries in the Western Regions will stay safe.
It seems that I did nothing wrong in my favor to Li Yan. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ The carved beams and painted buildings, the red corridors and jade bridges, the red canals and green willows, everything is as beautiful as a picture.
A young woman was leaning against the window playing with a parrot, and the room was lonely.
She teased the parrot, and the parrot teased her.
They were both in a cage, so they kept each other company.
How many women's youth, tears, and even blood are locked up under these heavy palaces and dense bead curtains.
Compared with the concubines of the Han Dynasty, the princesses of the Xiongnu seem to be quite happy.
At least they can ride horses and run when they are lonely.
Under the blue sky and white clouds.
But the women here can only sit quietly in one courtyard wall.
Princess Pingyang looked at the direction I was looking at and said calmly: "It's not bad to have a parrot to tease a woman.
Although you acted in the past, you are really smart and have better luck than them."
I hurriedly looked away and concentrated on walking, "Princess Mi Like, a common girl wouldn't dare to do it."
But she was thinking about the half of the princess's unspoken words.
The moment she entered the door, Princess Pingyang turned her head and looked at me.
I nodded, indicating that I would pay attention to everything.
Li Yan sat upright on the couch and saw the princess standing up with a smile.
The two of them bowed to each other and then took their seats.
Li Yan looked at me who was still standing outside the curtain, raised her hand to the maid, and the maid opened the curtain and ordered me to come.
I lowered my head and stepped forward, and bowed down carefully.
Li Yan nodded calmly and ordered me to stand up.
She also ordered the maids to step back and let her and the princess talk quietly.
The princess and Li Yan smiled and chatted for a while, and said to Li Yan: "I have to go to see the queen.
I will send someone to pick up the gold and jade when I leave."
Li Yan hurriedly got up and saw her off: "Thank you for your trouble, sister."
As soon as the princess left, Li Yan beckoned me to sit under her and asked in a low voice: "Why do you have to see me in person because you think the money I gave you is not enough?"
I smiled and leaned down: "The more money, the better, never There will be too much, but of course there won’t be too much.”
Li Yan reached out and tapped my forehead, smiling and shaking her head silently.
I looked at her carefully.
Although she was the favorite of the harem, her clothes were still simple and elegant.
There were few embroideries on her clothes, but the quality was the best and handmade, so she came from plain clothes, which gave her a unique taste.
Perhaps because she is already married, her beautiful appearance is a bit more charming, but her figure is still thin.
Although this makes her more charming and lovable, but Li Yan saw me staring at her, and her face suddenly turned red.
"What do you want to see?"
I burst out laughing, "I didn't want to see anything at first, but now that you remind me, I finally found out what I wanted to see."
Li Yan stretched out her hand to scratch her cheek and said, "You must have peeked at those books.
You are so shameless and shameless."
Her eyes were moving, half happy and half shy, her lips were half pouty, half annoyed and half coquettish, truly a thousand kinds of charms.
I stared at her blankly for a moment, nodded and sighed: "What a beautiful woman who will captivate the whole country.
Your Majesty is so lucky."
Bao, with you, I can laugh even when I'm worried."
Li Yan's expression immediately returned to normal, and she asked with a smile, "What's important to you?"
I smiled and took out a silk handkerchief from my arms and handed it to her.
Li Yan took it and took a look at it and said, "What do you mean?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I drew the word "Li" for fun before and embroidered it on the silk handkerchief, but the silk handkerchief was nowhere to be found.
I guess you took it and now want to extort my money and pay me a new one?"
"I burned the old silk handkerchief.
If I had known that I would have to find someone to embroider new ones now, I should have kept it."
Li Yan looked at me quietly.
When I continued, I felt a little hesitant in my heart, but I immediately put it aside. , said softly: "The old veil was picked up by Mr.
Li San.
He wanted to find someone with the handkerchief.
I felt that it would be better to do less than to do more, so I simply burned the veil."
Li Yan asked: "Li Gan" I asked back: "Who else in Chang'an City dares to call Mr.
Li San again?"
"Since it has been burned, why bring it here again?"
I said nonchalantly: "You can still burn it."
Li Yan took a deep look at me, folded the silk handkerchief and put it away calmly.
The two sat in silence for a while, and she suddenly said: "Did you know that there was a big hailstorm in the spring in the Western Regions?"
I nodded: "I heard a little bit that a lot of dancers from the Western Regions suddenly flooded into Chang'an City.
In order to survive, the money from watching a famous kabuki dance in Chang'an City can actually buy their virginity."
There was a charming smile on Li Yan's lips, but her voice was as cold as ice, "The prices of various singing and dancing studios are bound to come down, and then they will drop again and again.
In this troubled world, human life is as cheap as a dog, but we can still withstand a natural disaster.
But war disasters are worse than natural disasters.
Although there is Abdan, they can only become Abdal. " I said: "Things are not as you expected.
The song and dance studios under my name are not allowed to reduce prices.
Other song and dance studios do not have the ability to affect the market."
Li Yan looked at me and nodded, "You left a path for them.
A way to survive.”
I smiled lightly and said, "Reducing the price may not necessarily lead to more profits.
It is easy to lower the price now, but it will not be easy to raise it in the future.
Why bother to spend that effort?"
Li Yan smiled: "You have a really weird temper.
People want to be beaten."
When you are praised and praised by others, it is better for you to put yourself completely aside in everything you do, lest others think of you as a good person."
I said indifferently: "I am different from you.
Although I grew up in the Western Regions, I have no feelings for the Western Regions and have no intention of helping the Western Regions.
Everything I do is just for the business of the song and dance studio."
Li Yan sighed softly, "Although I really hope that you can be like me, I can't force these things.
As long as you don't object to everything I do, I will be happy.
Boss, how is the business lately?"
I smiled and bowed to her: "Thanks to my wife Hongfu, my business is doing well."
"My brother is so good."
The smile on Li Yan's face dimmed a little.
"You should be able to see Musician Li occasionally."
"Yes, I can see you.
The emperor often calls on my elder brother to play the piano.
I sometimes dance with the piano, but I don't have a chance to talk, and I am also a little afraid of talking to my elder brother."
I took a snack from the table and threw it into my mouth: "Your second brother is now very familiar with the gang of young men in Chang'an City.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He originally wanted to move out of the garden, but Music Master Li did not agree."
Li Yan looked helpless: "My second brother has been favored by his mother since he was a child, and he acts a little too ignorantly.
Now that he is with those playboys today, and is deliberately coaxed and fawned over, sooner or later something will happen.
The eldest brother has too much personality.
He is gentle and always obedient to us.
The second brother must listen to his words on the face, but he is not afraid in his heart.
I think the second brother is a bit afraid of you.
Please tell me about him later. " I frowned and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have to listen to what I have to say."
Li Yan said angrily: "Don't show it to me like this.
If something happens to my second brother, it won't be good for you either."
"I could only nod my head repeatedly, and Li Yan added: "And my elder brother and Fang Ru."
I jumped up from the couch and said, "Li Niangniang, are you going to hire me to be your two brothers' maid?
I have to take care of this and that.
I guess it's time for the princess to leave the palace, so I'm leaving."
After saying that, I didn't dare to listen to her wordy words anymore and hurriedly went out.
Li Yan scolded from behind: "Smelly Jinyu just sees that big brother has arranged so many songs and dances for your song and dance studio, so you should be more careful."
I just poked my head out of the room and jumped back a few steps.
Li Yan stood up immediately.
I smiled as if I was crying, "I'm not so lucky.
Some people are not allowed to see the emperor in the palace for several years.
I am the third person in the palace."
Once you enter the palace, you can actually see Tianyan."
Li Yan asked: "How far is it?"
I looked frustrated and said, "It's still far away.
I only saw a tall and strong man walking side by side with the princess.
I couldn't even see his face clearly.
But since the emperor came with the princess, there was still a need to hide." "?"
Li Yan gloated and laughed, "Then you should accompany me to pick you up.
The princess will definitely have all the good things to say for you." －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Xiao Qian fluttered and landed on the window frame.
I untied the silk strips tied around his legs and said, "Look at how stupid you are.
You have to lose weight.
If you keep getting fatter, you will have to walk around on the ground all day."
Go and be two unqualified skinny chickens.”
Just look at the silk strips by the light in the window, "Abdan is a word of praise for Loulan people's love for their land.
It means similar to the beautiful and rich land in Chinese, but it has more of a feeling of love for home.
Abdal means beggar in Loulan language, without Where did you hear these words from?
It seems that your new recruits from the Western Regions are from Loulan.
Stop feeding Xiao Qian and Xiao Tao egg yolks.
If they get fatter, they won’t be able to see pigeons anymore."
I laughed out loud.
If a person is too ugly, he will not be able to see other people.
It turns out that if a pigeon is too ugly, he will not be able to see pigeons.
After putting away the silk strips, I took out a silk handkerchief and lay down in front of the window.
I was stunned for a while and wrote: "I'm lying at the window talking to you now.
What are you doing?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I guess you must be reading quietly under the lamp.
When I look up, I can see the blinking stars in the sky.
The mandarin duck and vine flowers outside the window are blooming just right, and they are white and bright.
Like jade, the yellow color is as bright as gold, and the fragrance is quiet and long-lasting.
I can smell it even when I sleep at night.
I have picked a lot of flowers and put them in the bamboo basket to dry.
When the summer is over and the flowers have faded, I can still twist a few dried flowers and see the mandarin ducks dancing in the water when the hot water is poured.
I went to the palace today.
I originally decided to do this after careful consideration, but the words came out.
I still hesitated for a moment.
The Li family has been an important official in the imperial court since the time of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
There was already the famous general Guangwu Jun Li Zuoche, and now there is Anlehou Li Caihe Fei.
General Li Guang, after several generations of emperors, had a deep influence in the court.
There were many descendants of the Li family in the army.
Compared with Wei Qing's untouchable birth and the rise of relying on nepotism, the civil servants in the court were even more attracted to the Li family.
Fengyi of the family, how could Li Yan give up this family that is beneficial to her fight against the Wei family?
I seemingly gave the choice to Li Yan, but I understand The result is certain.
Li Gan's infatuation will only become a weapon for Li Yan in this fight.
But I can't care about that much anymore.
I just hope to be helpful to you.
I just want you to be happy and stop being a big man.
When you use troops against the countries in the Western Region, can the worry in your brows dissipate?
Maybe your heart can be truly free, and you can only do what you want to do, and no longer force yourself."
I held the brush and looked at the mandarin duck pergola for a long time.
I smiled at the flowers on the pergola.
I turned around and put the brush down.
I carefully folded the silk handkerchief full of words, opened the locked bamboo box, and carefully Put the silk handkerchief in and check whether the camphor leaves still smell.
"The days go by so fast.
In the blink of an eye, it's late summer.
The flowers on the shelves are getting sparser and sparse.
They are no longer white, leaving only a few scattered golden spots.
Today I suddenly felt that the mandarin duck vine is really like a pair of lovers in the world of mortals. , a pair had their share of twists and turns, but The ultimate happy lover.
One flower blooms first, and it will wait for another to bloom in life.
Isn't it very like a pair of lovers who have never met, waiting for another flower to bloom, and it has turned yellow.
At this time, they meet.
One flower is white and the other is yellow, white and gold reflect each other, and the branches are Dance.
As the day goes by, they grow old together and turn into gold.
In the end, it is like the fall of life.
One flower will leave first, and the other one will still stay on the branch, but the remaining flower will still remain.
Try your best to be as blooming as possible, because you only have one life, It cannot be let down, and its blooming reminds flower appreciators that there was another beautiful blooming flower beside it.
When it also floated into the wind, I thought that it was in the wind, in a place I couldn't see.
Another flower must be waiting for it quietly."
"It's already autumn, and in the drizzle, people feel a little more lazy for no reason, and often have random thoughts.
I heard from the princess that Li Yan is worried about not being able to conceive a dragon seed.
Her worries are not just about doing things for women.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Mother's desire if there is no child. , all her plans are out of the question.
The position of crown prince is still up for grabs.
If she can give birth to a boy, there will be a battle for the right to inherit the throne.
It seems that no matter how much favor a woman has, in the end, everything can be truly guaranteed.
You can only rely on your own children.
When I see Li Yan, in addition to admiration, I am afraid of this woman.
How much hatred and love is required for a woman to gamble her life and even the life of her children into a life and death battle.
I ask myself, I No matter what, it can't be done.
If I had a child, I would never, ever let him be exposed to a war as soon as he was born.
Although I would teach him to be cunning and cunning just like my father did to me, I would want him to grow up happily and peacefully.
Being resourceful is just to protect your own happiness.
Her face felt a little hot, and she was still thinking about the child even before she was married.
I asked myself what if I could never have children in this life.
I thought about it for a long time, but I still had no conclusion.
But when I saw that there were only green mandarin duck vines left outside the house, I thought I understood.
Life is often in process, and not every flower will.
But they have lived, bloomed, welcomed the morning sun, sent off the sunset, played with the wind, and played with the rain.
Life is abundant, and I think they have no regrets
