Big Han Weiyang

In January of the third year of Jianshi, news came from the Huns that Han said that he had married the youngest daughter of the military minister Shanyu.I was feeding Liu Shun medicine in his bedroom, when I heard the words, I smashed the bowl.

The maids kept silent and came forward to tidy up and brought new medicine.

I looked down and saw that Liu Shun's already pale face was even paler, I'm afraid it might have frightened him.

I calmed down and handed the medicine spoon to his lips again, but he turned his head and refused to drink: "The emperor's elder brother actually smashed my medicine for an outsider." After getting married, Liu Shun no longer called himself Shun'er, but loved to play tricks Some petty temper.I can see that his body has only been in the past few years, so it is inevitable that he will be soft-hearted and follow him in everything.

I blew and blew the medicine, and fed it again, and he looked better, pursed his lips, and said, "Brother Emperor, did Han say that the general really betrayed the big man?"

"What does Shun'er think?" I watched him grow up.Facing his beautiful side face so close at hand, I always feel that he is like my emperor's son, not my younger brother.

Liu Shun raised his eyes to look at me, his eyes warmed up, and said: "Han said that when the general met the Xiongnu that day, the army he commanded was very different from that of the enemy. He was defeated and captured because he was incompetent. Although he did not commit suicide, he surrendered to the Huns. He married a Hun woman. But everyone loves their own lives, so Han said that there is nothing wrong with doing this. Or maybe he has other reasons.” He seemed to be comforting me.

"I can't think of any difficulties for him." I put down the medicine bowl and wiped the corners of Liu Shun's mouth.

If Liu Shun accused Han Said, I would defend him a few words.I didn't expect Liu Shun to answer like this, but I was even more dissatisfied with Han Shun.He was captured by the Huns, and I can redeem him, but his marriage with Shanyu is nothing.

I suppressed the voices of the courtiers and asked Wei Qing and others to find a chance to rescue them.I hope that when the time comes, he won't bring back a few boys of Hun blood to embarrass me.

In the next few months, the big man and the Xiongnu came and went intermittently.

Over the past few years, although the big man has won more than he lost, but the war consumes money and food. Every time he wins, he has to reward hundreds of thousands of gold, and once he loses, he needs 10,000+ gold to replenish his troops.Both Taifu and Sang Hongyang worked hard to ensure that the supply of money and food was sufficient, and the people would not suffer.

Among the hundreds of thousands of Hun captives captured intermittently, there were nearly [-] strong men. In two years, they built four or five solid roads, leading from Chang'an to Dahan in all directions.Whether it is transporting soldiers, horses, money, food or business within the Han Dynasty, it is more than twice as convenient.

In June of the following year, General Sun returned from defeat by the Huns.He argued in court that he was not alone in this defeat.According to the captives he captured, the newly acquired Han general of the Huns taught a set of military training methods, which made the conquest difficult.I asked who the general was, and General Sun said that he didn't know the prisoner either.All he knew was that he was deeply loved by a noble daughter of the Huns.

Such a defense is too ridiculous, I sneered and sent him to jail.However, everyone's heart is full of Han Shuo.The ministers wrote letters one after another. Han said that since he rebelled, he should punish his three clans as an example.

Even the people in the Han family were crying, demanding to draw a line with Han Shuo, who was a traitor.I hesitated for a few days, but still didn't touch the Han Mansion.At the same time, he sent people to discuss the exchange of prisoners with the Xiongnu Shanyu.

The war lasted for a long time, and there was some turmoil in the country.

The kings who had participated in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and several other vassal kings were a little unstable.During the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the military minister Shan Yu tried to unite the Seven Kingdoms to attack the Han court.I discussed with the ministers and thought that they might be thinking again, so I sent envoys to the various vassal states to check if they had any changes.

But now the vassal king is weak, even if he colludes with the Huns, there will be no trouble.The only ones with strength are Liu Che and Liu Fei.

I am the king, and Liu Che is the minister.He is destined to never win me.I pushed him into danger time and time again, exhausting his soldiers and horses, and kept reducing them, but it wouldn't be like raising Gu, leaving only the strongest.He knew what I was planning and was helpless.Because destroying the Huns was indeed his lifelong ambition, he couldn't leave without leaving.

Wei Qing wrote a letter in July, saying that the Huns seemed to have some movement.

That night I was suddenly woken up from the bed.

"Your Majesty, General Wei used the Tiger Talisman to summon the Huben Army, and they are rushing to Ganquan Palace." The guards reported urgently.

In the middle of the night, the palace was brightly lit.

He was supposed to confront the Xiongnu in Shuofang, but at this moment he abandoned the army and used the tiger talisman to mobilize the Huben army to Ganquan Palace.I knocked on the imperial case and asked him if he wanted to force the palace or rebel.

In fact, he didn't need to be so troublesome if he wanted to force the palace. Wouldn't it be easier to bring the army all the way here, why bother to mobilize the Huben camp that is not under his jurisdiction.

Wei Qing entered the palace alone, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have learned that the Huns are commanding thousands of light cavalry, and they came from a small path behind the Ganquan Palace. Therefore, I am guilty of arbitrarily mobilizing the tiger army."

I looked at him coldly for a while and walked down.Several thoughts went through my mind.Although the garrison has not found any signs of the Huns, I still believe what Wei Qing said.

However, Wei Qing is loyal now, who can guarantee that he will be loyal for the rest of his life.Today he has a reason to mobilize the Huben Army to surround the Ganquan Palace, and tomorrow he has other reasons to mobilize the Habayashi Army to surround the Weiyang Palace.By the day after tomorrow, there is no need for a reason, and my army may be directly under his command.

Rather than indulge now, it's better to be strict and ruthless, so that he can't and can't have a different heart for the rest of his life, that's the best choice.What's more, his contribution is too great, firstly, all the officials are jealous, and secondly, he is already an extremely human official, so I almost have no title to reward.

I took back the Tiger Talisman, put Wei Qing aside as much as possible, and used other generals to fight.

Wei Qing is a talented general, only one out of several decades, but the big man has many capable generals who can replace him.

The Huns did find some clues about the sneak attack later.All the ministers turned their eyes to Han Shuo again.There are not many people who know the layout of Ganquan Palace, and Han Shuo is one of them.

Could it be that he led the Xiongnu army to attack in order to gain military exploits?I shake my head.I don't believe Han said he would betray at all.The big man has captured quite a few generals over the years, who said it had to be him.

Even if Han said to bring the Huns to fight me, I believe he would fight back against the Huns at the last moment.

In August, I got news that Shan Yu, a military official, was ill. His younger brother Yi Zhixie was fighting with the Xiongnu prince Yu Dan, and Yu Dan took Han Shuo and his wife to join the big man.

The ministers wrote to Han and said that it was shameless for him to have the face to bring the wife of the Huns back after treason.

It is a credit for him to persuade the Hun prince to return to Han, but why is it that he brought a foreign wife?According to the secret letter, the two get along like husband and wife.I am extremely displeased.Coupled with the many doubts before, I looked at the piles of memorials on the case, and my heart was slightly loose.

Han Shuo, who surrendered to the enemy, is it still the same Han Shuo from before?Maybe he was really instigated by his foreign wife to train soldiers for the Huns and guide them?Thoughts like this kept popping up in my mind and I pushed them down.

In two days, he and Yu Dan will return to Beijing. The ministers were too angry, and I had to ask the servant to draw up an order to imprison him because of the anger.After Huang Juan wrote Han Shuo, he wrote all kinds of unbearable crimes.I couldn't bear to look at it, so I lifted the jade seal and placed it in the air, hesitating.

Suddenly, a soft and beautiful hand stretched out from behind, covered the back of my hand, and gently pressed it down for me.Then rubbed it for a while to deepen the mark on the decree.

"Brother Emperor, I know that you have a deep friendship with Han, and you love him in every way," Liu Shun said slowly behind me, "but the officials are not convinced. If you can return to be an official after surrendering to the enemy, the order of the big Han will be messed up. .”

Seeing the red seal on the yellow silk, I was so depressed that I couldn't breathe.

Julihu has an old grievance with Liu Che, and he has been holding him back for me.After the prince of the Xiongnu is settled, I will call back Juli Lake so that he can spend more time with the prince of the Xiongnu and get to know the royal family of the Xiongnu.It would be best if the prince could return to the Han with all his heart, and then gather the Huns to surrender.If the Xiongnu prince is too weak to take on this important task, he will be replaced by Gouli Lake.He and Yu Shan are cousins, and because of Shan's statement, the Huns will believe it.

After calculating it, Han said he had been detained for half a month.

Although I told Wei Ting to treat him well and not interrogate him, I always felt uneasy if I didn't keep him by my side.No matter how hesitant I feel about him, after all, he has been with me for more than ten years, and our friendship is still there.

Taking Zhang Tang with him, he walked through the dark prison corridor, and at the end, he saw a dark prison. Han Yue was wearing a prison uniform, leaning against the wooden railing, looking up at a small window on the top of the wall.

In fact, there was another prison cell beyond the window, but he just watched, quietly.

Hearing the sound of the cell door being opened, Han Yue hurriedly turned around and knelt down: "The guilty minister Han said he has seen the emperor."

I stopped in front of him and helped him up: "How are you doing these days?" Although I wanted to see him, I could recall what he did after seeing him, and my voice couldn't hide the coldness.I gave him two choices, he could answer his days in Hudi or his days in prison.

However, Han said that he lowered his head as if he had been stabbed, and only said, "I'm guilty."

I laughed and said, "You have been with me for so many years, why did you suddenly become a criminal subject?" I was both ironic and distressed, I pulled him over and wiped his smudged face with my sleeve.

He was still as handsome and gentle as ever.It's just that his expression is more restrained and gloomy.Compared with the appearance of wearing strict dark clothes, light skirts, and crowns and jades when she returned from the New Year last time, it seemed like a lifetime away.

Han said that he looked up at me, both sad and nostalgic.He said with difficulty: "Whether the emperor believes it or not, I have never done anything unfavorable to the big man. If I can come back from Hudi, and let the emperor visit me before I die, I have no regrets in this life. Sin The minister is willing to lead to death."

When I heard this sentence, I was relieved, and I took him into my arms and patted the back: "I didn't intend to let you die. You persuaded the prince of the Xiongnu to descend to the Han, and the deeds outweighed the merits. Naturally, I believed you. It's just that I I don’t understand, why did you bring that Hun woman back?”

Han Shuo's body was a little cold: "After all, she is the wife of a guilty minister. In order to survive to see the emperor, I hurt her too much, and she paid too much. I can no longer let her down."
