Hanhou

In the early morning, a gust of cold wind blew up in Yunzhong City, a few hectares of dark clouds gathered, and a cold rain fell from the sky.

Wei Yue woke up to the sound of rain, opened her eyes, and found that she had slept in the study room last night, covered with Zhao Jia's robe.

Pressing her forehead hard to relieve the sudden dizziness, Wei Yue sat up, and before she could straighten her robes, the door was opened from the outside, and Zhao Jia walked into the room from the corridor with a little coldness and steam.Seeing that Wei Yue had woken up, he quickly walked a few steps, put the decoction in his hand on the table, and tested the temperature on his forehead with his hand.

"What?" Wei Yue asked, feeling her throat was dry, her voice hoarse, and she coughed urgently.He clenched his fist against his lips, but couldn't stop no matter what.

Zhao Jia frowned, poured out a cup of warm water, and brought it to Wei Yue's mouth.

"You suddenly had a fever last night. I asked the doctor to see you and said you were too tired. Tell me, how many days have you not closed your eyes?"

Before Wei Yue could answer, there was another soft knock outside the door.

According to Zhao Jia's order, the servants brought millet porridge and boiled vegetables, but the strong sunflower and sauce disappeared.

"It's only three days." After drinking warm water and suppressing the itchiness in her throat, Wei Yue said slowly, "I'm going to leave for a while. There are many affairs in the county, so I can't just blame the captain. Let's deal with it first."

Zhao Jia still frowned, but didn't say anything more.After Wei Yue washed up, he sat back a few minutes ago, pushed millet porridge to his hand, and said, "Dinner."

"Ado." Wei Yue wanted to explain, but couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh, honestly held up his chopsticks, and used up the millet porridge and vegetables.

After Wei Yue put down the chopsticks, Zhao Jia ordered the servant to heat the soup and put it in front of Wei Yue.

"Take the medicine." Zhao Jia had no expression on his face, and his voice didn't fluctuate.

Knowing his temper, Wei Yue picked up the medicine bowl and drank it down without saying anything.The bitter taste slid down his throat, and the next moment, a piece of caramel was passed to his mouth.

"Hoduo, I'm not a child..."

"To shut up."

It's better to start than move your mouth, Zhao Jia handed it over and stuffed the caramel directly into Wei Yue's mouth.

Biting the caramel, Wei Yue looked at Zhao Jia, but she couldn't hold him back.

"Aduo wishes, you should accept it."

Zhao Jia raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists.

Who is the patient?

Who is weak?

If you want to resist, you have to weigh it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, in terms of force value, he is higher than the "patient".

After taking meals and decoctions, Wei Yue's energy gradually recovered, and she once again devoted herself to government affairs.

Zhao Jia didn't want him to be too tired, and couldn't let go in reality, so he took the bamboo slips and checked last month's tax for him.

After reading it from beginning to end, Zhao Jia had a good idea, drew a simple form, and quickly completed the work that Wei Yue took half a day to complete.

"I remember that Master Wang knew this method." Zhao Jia said to Wei Yue while copying the numbers.

"Hu City was added in Monan, and the imperial court intends to build cities and establish counties. Yunzhong, Yanmen and Shangjun transferred many county officials, and the king's master was among them. Before leaving, many civil servants were also transferred away." Wei Yue said.

If not, he might not be so busy.

Zhao Jia nodded, wrote the last few strokes, and put the bamboo slips aside.

"Is it okay for Ah Duo to leave Shuofang at this time?"

"No problem." Zhao Jia unfolded another bamboo slip and said, "I have the emperor's order, and all affairs in the county are temporarily entrusted to Wang Sun. Shuofang City has just taken shape, and it can't be compared with Yunzhong. It is even more scattered, and there are not many political affairs to be taken care of. However, the barbarians who went south and the remaining Huns were captured a few days ago."

"Barbarian." Wei Yue stopped writing and murmured, "It was also discovered outside Yanmen County, but there was no trace in Yunzhong and Dingxiang. I have written with Shangjun and Daijun before, and there is no clue. I don't know if it is a coincidence. .”

"It's hard to decide for now." Zhao Jia raised his head and said, "If it involves the remnants of the Huns, we must be more cautious and be prepared."

Wei Yue nodded in agreement.

The two of them worked together, and the mountain of bamboo slips decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.After lunch, the remaining government affairs are less than one-fifth.

Zhao Jia let go, and ordered the cook to deliver hot soup and steamed cakes.

Wei Yue still had millet porridge and tasteless vegetables in front of her. After eating, she had to use the whole bowl of soup and medicine, sweating at night, and finally stopped coughing.

After sleeping peacefully for the night, the doctor checked the pulse the next day, and couldn't help showing surprise on his face, he didn't expect him to recover so quickly.

"Your Majesty has no serious problems, and you don't need to continue taking medicine."

The doctor picked up the medicine box, took his leave and left.

Sitting in front of the screen, Wei Yue didn't wear a crown and only had a jade hairpin in her hair. She smiled at Zhao Jia and said, "Ado, should you feel relieved?"

"Ah."

Zhao Jia relaxed, stretched his waist, and under Wei Yue's smiling eyes, moved away the bamboo slips, lay down on his back, propped up one long leg, raised his eyebrows, and said, "To take care of the third son, I stayed up all night. Sleepless, does the third son not mind?"

While talking, he patted the "pillow" with his hands.

Wei Yue was surprised at first, but soon returned to smiling, supported Zhao Jia's head, and changed his sitting position to make his pillow more comfortable.The slender fingers brushed Zhao Jia's temples, lightly brushed his chin, and slid down the side of his neck, the touch was as light as a flying feather.

"Leaving tomorrow, Hoduo would like to rest."

Zhao Jia was exhausted after traveling for days and taking care of Wei Yue all night.Hearing the familiar voice, wrapped in warm breath, he yawned quickly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The maid served hot soup, seeing this situation, left the clay pot and cups behind, and quickly left the study.

When the door was closed, Wei Yue bowed her head, brushed Zhao Jia's pale blue eyes with her fingertips, then picked up a roll of bamboo slips, and tried to keep her voice and movements as light as possible, not wanting to wake Zhao Jia up.

In September of the fourth year of Yuanshuo, Wei Shang was buried, and Wei Yue and Zhao Jia went to Huaili for the funeral. Zhao Jia and Wei's children sacrificed as juniors.

In October of the following year, the two returned to the frontier, and Zhao Jia stayed in the clouds for half a month before returning to Shuofang.

At that time, the Western Expeditionary Army had already returned to the court, and the emperor rewarded them for their merits. All the generals were awarded titles and gold.

Dou Liang and Chen Yu made great contributions in the battle. After returning home, Dou Ying, Dou Pengzu and Chen Wu were all very happy and laughed from ear to ear.Chen Wu and Dou Pengzu even showed off in front of relatives and nobles, and when they mentioned their son, the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears.

Different from other people, Wang Xin made many background murals in his early years, and simply let them show off.

Furthermore, my son knows that although Wang Xu entered the military camp, he is not a material to lead the army. He can make military exploits and be promoted to the court. expected.Wang Xin didn't have any dissatisfaction, and he didn't want to argue with Chen Wudou and Peng Zu.

A few years ago, Dou Pengzu and Chen Wu were showing off their sons everywhere, and Dou Ying would never help, and would even take the initiative to speak out, so don't be as knowledgeable as these two.

Now that the atmosphere in the court has changed, and the officials are competing to let themselves go, the three princes and nine ministers are all showing signs of going astray.Under the general environment, Dou Ying was crooked along with him, and according to the angle of the crookedness, there was basically no possibility of coming back straight.

The former Dou Ying would inevitably warn the two of them to be cautious.

Nowadays, not only eat melons and watch dramas, but also take the initiative to join in, poking people's hearts with words: If you are not happy, don't hold on.If you are not happy, tell me quickly and let us be happy.

Fortunately, it was Wang Xin who was poked. If it was someone else, he would have drawn his sword and met the real chapter with his subordinates.

When Tai Shiling wrote biographies for several people, he felt strange when he wrote them.

In this way, they torn each other down, poked each other's lung tubes, and they didn't form a mortal enmity, but they still had a deep friendship, and they couldn't resist each other. They really couldn't accept it.

People of later generations read historical materials and are also puzzled by this record.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, because of Chen Jiao, the Dou family and the Chen family should be natural allies. According to common thinking, they were actually political enemies with the Wang and Tian families who were backed by the Queen Mother.

It is a normal operation for the Tian brothers to lose and die in the struggle for power, and the Tian family then declines.

As the Queen Mother's brother, Wang Xin not only did not cooperate with Tian, ​​but mixed with Dou Chen, and even got better?

What is even more puzzling is that after the death of the Queen Mother, Empress Chen dominated the palace. Instead of weakening the Jiaofang, Emperor Wu suppressed the Dou and Chen families, but instead reused them more and more.

This development is completely inconsistent with the "laws of history".

From Han Gaozu to Huidi, from Wendi to Jingdi, the fate of relatives is always inexplicably similar.The family of relatives, which is backed by the Changle Pepper House, is bound to be suppressed after its glory and prosperity.

The Emperor Wu Dynasty was completely different.

Since the Yuan Shuo period, as long as foreign relatives, clansmen and nobles' children have talents and are recommended by others, they will definitely be reused.Including Bo, who was suppressed in all directions, also has signs of recovery.

Changing to other emperors, daring to do this, is 100% playing with fire.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not.

Seriously speaking, he has the confidence and must do so.

Spread out the map when Emperor Wu came to the throne, compare the dynasty's territory 30 years later, and redraw the route of the Han army in order. It can be clearly seen that as the territory expands, new counties and new counties will appear on the map every once in a while. Duhufu.

According to the inference of historians, it is not limited by conditions. There are limits to the strength of the empire's rule. It is really difficult to determine where the Han army will fight, and where the Han Dynasty's prefectures and governors will be located.

Due to the continuous expansion of the territory and the urgent need for all kinds of talents, the emperor was so thirsty for talents that he even went through the sieves in the deep mountains and old forests several times, just to find the sages who lived in seclusion.Under this background, Huai is talented and virtuous, and can help the court open up borders and defend the land, regardless of the relatives and clans, they will be reused.

Conversely speaking, it was precisely because of the desire for talents that the Han and Wu Dynasties gathered literary stars, the stars were shining brightly, the military and diplomacy flourished, and they were unrivaled throughout their lives and crushed the entire era.

When people of later generations read ancient books and documents, immersed in the official historian's writing, they all sighed in their hearts, and had infinite yearning for this splendid history.

Zhao Jia, who moved history and set off this change, will inevitably be mentioned as historical materials continue to be unearthed.

But as far as he is concerned, instead of caring about the judgment of future generations and thinking about what is not, it is better to focus on the present, think more about the construction plan of Shuofang County, and spend some thought on the upcoming addition of Hushi.After these things are done, there are still captured barbarians. It is time to have a trial and eliminate all hidden dangers.

Because of his style and attitude, it was very difficult for Sima Qian to write, and he changed his draft several times.After completing the "correct manuscript", I didn't want to waste my hard work, so I simply kept all the "biography" recorded before and hid it in the study.

The children and grandchildren of the Sima family strictly follow the ancestor's instruction and do not bury gold and jade.After Sima Qian's death, the tomb is full of bamboo slips written by him.

Nearly 2000 years later, archaeologists unearthed this batch of precious documents, and compared them with Han history, most of them are not very different, except for the records about Zhao Houjia, which gave them a great headache.

The records in the history books, the bamboo slips in the Taishi Cemetery, which one is true?

This lawsuit lasted for decades. Scholars insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince the other. They could only continue to quarrel until a result was reached.

Zhao Jia, who lives in history, would never have imagined how much controversy his name would cause in later generations.

After returning from the cloud, Zhao Jiagang dismounted in front of the prefect's mansion, and before he had time to meet Han Yan, his servant reported that Wei Qing'e led the caravan westward, and the team had entered Shuofang.
