Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 141 The Eternal Problem: The Relationship between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
The army returned in triumph, and the court hall naturally entered into an excited celebratory discussion.

Li Huan was personally summoned by Emperor Liu Che and was allowed to come and have a meal with the emperor.

This is a supreme favor that only Wei Qing had in the past.

However, this does not mean that Li Huan can drink alcohol with Emperor Liu Che.

He had a small desk, and Emperor Liu Che's large desk was filled with all kinds of fine wines and dishes. Every time Chuntuo next to him read out Li Huan's military exploits, Han Yan would look as if she was honored. The dishes on Liu Che's big desk were placed on Li Huan's small desk.

Just a moment later, Li Huan's small desk was already filled with all kinds of fragrant dishes.

"Okay, Li Qing's family has been running all the way and is hungry. Reading these things is boring. It should be interesting for everyone in the world to listen. Eat quickly." Liu Che laughed and interrupted Chuntuo.

Li Huan handed over his hand to thank him, and then started to eat happily without hesitation. He was really hungry.

Liu Che also started eating with a smile, but from time to time, he would look at a certain curtain from the corner of his eye.

Behind the curtain, there seemed to be a graceful figure kneeling, but this happened to be Li Huan's blind spot, and the graceful figure behind the curtain could completely see everything about Li Huan.

After finishing the meal, Liu Che looked at Li Huan who was wiping the grease stains from the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but laugh: "The leader has been away for almost two months. Are you homesick?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I really mean it." Li Huan felt that his heart had flown out of Ganquan Palace and returned to the Anyang Marquis Mansion.

He now wants to see what the hot springs flowing through the Anyang Marquis Mansion look like now; he also wants to see what the thousand acres of land where the seeds were sown have become like, and what the newly grown seedlings have become. They should already be as high as their knees, right?
Gillian's health care package seems to have reached the point where moxibustion is needed to get rid of palace cold; Cao Xiang's radio gymnastics and dancing youth for primary school students has been done for so long, and it should have some results, but I don't know what Pingyang Hou will be after losing weight. What does it look like.

There are also Cuihua, I haven’t seen them for such a long time, and I don’t know if they are still crisp or not; Bai Zhi has not been seen for a long time, and I don’t know if they are still as white as when I left them; Wei Shaoer, a mature woman, has always made me extremely fascinated, I don't know if it has become more familiar now...

By the way, there are also two of his disciples, Li Gan and Zhang Anshi...

Li Huan remembered that Li Gan's eldest brother died in the frontier battle, and he felt more or less sorry for it. It was definitely a feast, but his grief must be expressed properly.

Has this little guy Zhang Anshi completely mastered the quadratic equation of one variable?

I miss you so much in Chang'an.

"Hahaha..." Listening to Li Huan's answer, Liu Che couldn't help laughing heartily. He looked around, pointed at Li Huan and said with a smile: "What Li Aiqing said is true. I like to hear it. Then go back and have a good time." After getting enough rest, Wei Qing and Li Xi's army will come back one after another in ten days.

You fought a good battle this time. I want the whole world to celebrate and let everyone in the world know your achievements. "

Li Huan solemnly raised his hands and said, "I don't dare to be greedy for credit. Without His Majesty's wise command, this battle would not have been won so easily."

Chuntuo said with a smile: "Anyang Marquis is really good at talking. Your Majesty will allow you and the generals to express themselves freely in this battle..."

Before he could finish what he said, he was frightened by Li Huan's casual look and choked back his words.

"What do you know? Every move of His Majesty has profound meaning. His Majesty's command in this battle is to let me, Wei Qing, Li Xi and other three leaders to perform freely. Henan has been deeply in the hands of the Huns for many years. No one knows what happened. What exactly is going on?

Your Majesty asked me to wait for the generals of the various armies to lead the battle, proceeding from reality, adapting measures to local conditions, and defeating the Xiongnu is already an extremely wise move.

You idiot, you have served your Majesty for many years, but you don’t know the deep meaning of His Majesty’s move. You even said something stupid like Your Majesty did not command our army to fight. If you don’t know how to speak, just shut up. On such a happy day, no one can Will take you for a dumb! "

Chuntuo opened his mouth wide and looked at Liu Che with a bewildered face.

Liu Che laughed loudly: "Li Aiqing is right, you, if you can't speak, just keep your mouth shut, and no one will treat you as dumb!"

"According to the order!" Chuntuo did not dare to show any displeasure at all. He stood to one side with his neck shrinking as if he was afraid.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now and go home!" Li Huan bowed his hand.

Liu Che nodded slightly, and Li Huan quickly exited the hall.

Outside the palace gate, Huo Qubing was talking to Li Gan with his nostrils, talking about how the raid on Lingzhou and the battle of Gaoque started.

At this moment, Li Gan looked up at Huo Qubing almost as if he were a god.

Li Huan watched this scene from a distance, and heaved a sigh of relief. This at least shows that Li Gan did not appear depressed because his elder brother Li Danghu died in battle...

However, after thinking about it, Li Huan also felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. The men of the Han Dynasty were the kind of Huns who killed my brother. I would not feel fear, only anger. I would kill all the eyes. I can see the Huns, the type to avenge my brother.

And it's obvious that Li Gan is this kind of person.

"Lord!" When the guards saw Li Huan, they all saluted respectfully.

When Li Gan heard the movement, he turned his head and bowed down: "Disciple, congratulations to master on your triumphant return!"

Looking at Li Gan in front of him, Li Huan stretched out his hand to help him up: "Is it my fault that I didn't take you north with me?"

"How dare my disciple have such rebellious thoughts?" Li Gan shook his head, his eyes firm: "But my disciple believes that I will have the opportunity to fight side by side with my master on the battlefield in the future."

"Okay! A man must have ambition!" Li Huan looked at the crowd, but he didn't see Cuihua and the others, so he couldn't help asking: "Why didn't Cuihua and the others come?"

Huo Qubing got on his horse and squinted his eyes: "Father Zhong, didn't you say that men must be ambitious? Why do you think of women as soon as you turn around?"

"What do you know?" Li Huan snorted: "Shuzi, your mother is going to arrange a wedding for you soon. You have no reason to refuse this time, right?"

"A true man keeps his word. I told my father-in-law to take me to the battlefield in the north. You have the final say on my marriage. Even if you let me marry an old sow, I will still hold the old sow in my arms at night. sleep!"

"Okay!" Li Huan gave a thumbs up: "A real man dares to sleep with an old sow in his arms!"

Li Gan pursed his lips and wanted to ask Huo Qubing, "Didn't you say that before the Huns were exterminated, why did they take care of their family?"Why are you thinking about hugging the old sow now?

But think about it or forget it, after returning home, I have to listen to him tell me the scene of the battle.

"Master, according to the rules, when a man returns home in triumph, a woman can only wait at home, and cannot come directly outside the palace gate to wait." Li Gan explained.

Sitting on the horseback, Li Huan asked curiously, "Oh? Is there such a rule?"

"Master, when a woman sees her man returning from war, it is inevitable that she will burst into tears of love. What do you think it would be like if the situation outside the palace gate turned into this?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "It turns out that there is such a consideration in it, I thought..."

Li Gan and Huo Qubing looked over instantly.

Li Huan's expression froze and he coughed lightly: "What do you think? If you don't learn well at a young age, you will learn bad things?"

Li Gan said aggrievedly: "Master, I didn't say anything!" "I didn't say anything, I just took a look at Zhongfu, and Zhongfu said that I was a bad student? You really will give people a big hat!"

Huo Qubing smirked, but with that expression, he obviously already knew what Li Huan wanted to say.

Li Huan spread his hands indifferently: "Go home!"

A place with cares is a home.

Li Huan sat on the rocking chair and looked at Cuihua, Wei Shao'er, Bai Zhi, Liu Yan'er, Li Xue'er, and Shengxue Shi, Hongzhi, Mangu Yin who had changed into Han Chinese skirts again... Well, Li Huan I feel that after getting used to their Huns' attire, now they wear Han clothes, and they have a really unique flavor.

Cuihua talked about the pain of lovesickness sentence after sentence. Her simplicity and straightforwardness made Wei Shaoer, a veteran in love, unable to interrupt for a moment.

Just because of this true love, no one could bear to interrupt.

"Okay, okay..." Li Huan held Cuihua's hand tightly: "Of course I know how much you miss me and worry about me, and so do you!"

He raised his head and said to the crowd: "I am like you, when we are still breathing, we are all thinking about each other."

Everyone was instantly satisfied, leaving only Cuihua and Bai Zhi to accompany Li Huan. Shengxueshi, Hongzhi, and Manguyin, who didn't quite understand why, were dragged away by Liu Yan'er...

The newcomers are newcomers, so naturally they dare not not listen to the wives and concubines of the Marquis of Anyang.

"Everything is fine at home. The noble man takes good care of us, so we are all looking forward to the master's return." Cuihua gently leaned her head on Li Huan's shoulder, and the scent of osmanthus in her hair penetrated the tip of Li Huan's nose. inside.

Li Huan said leisurely: "I know you want to hear about the battle of the Huns in the north, but to be honest, there is really nothing worth saying. I am not the kind of fierce general who likes to charge into battle. What I prefer to do is to strategize and win thousands of miles. .

After all, how can the bravery of one person compare to the bravery of thousands or ten thousand people? "

Bai Zhi smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, you are still angry because of your Majesty's marriage. Look...are you going to pay a visit now? Or..."

"I'll take a bath right away, then change into clean clothes and go see my mother." Li Huan didn't dare to neglect this cheap girl.

After all, in this battle, these personal guards sent by the Chen clan's Shuanghou were truly prepared to die for themselves at every moment.

This triumphant return, it is inevitable that food and status will be greatly increased, but if he wants to marry the second sister of the emperor Liu Che, he will do something like cross the river and demolish the bridge, Li Huan will never be able to do it.

This bathing lasted two hours...

Li Huan came out holding on to the wall. Da Changqiu was startled, thinking that Li Huan had suffered some serious injury on the battlefield...

"Junhou, if you are too tired, you might as well go see the nobleman tomorrow. If you go like this and let the nobleman see you, I am afraid that her already angry mood will become even more angry."

Li Huan laughed dryly and moved a few times in the breeze: "It's okay, let's go see the noble man now."

Da Changqiu thought about it for a moment before leading Li Huan to visit Gillian.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his mother!"

Li Huan has a loud voice, clear enunciation and sincere emotions.

Gillian, who was writing something with a pen, suddenly raised her head in boredom: "What is your mother's name, you will be equal to me in the future, haven't you read the letter written by the eldest princess?"

"The Queen Mother's words are serious. No matter what Liu Yun says, they are all the Queen Mother's daughters. The household registrations of the sons and ministers have been included in the royal family tree. This cannot be changed no matter what."

In other words, we can really discuss things on our own terms.

Hearing this, Gillian finally showed a look of relaxation on her angry delicate face: "Stop kneeling, sit down and talk!"

"Here!" Li Huan chuckled and found a comfortable chair to lean on. At this moment, he was really relaxed and leisurely.

"Before you led your troops to the north, I did what you told me to do. Your Majesty really took advantage of the wind of public opinion and severely suppressed all the courtiers."

Li Huan thought for a moment and then remembered that he had asked Gillian to immediately publish a blood letter in the newspaper, requesting the emperor to send troops to the north, creating a situation where the emperor's sending troops to the north was in line with the people's wishes and what everyone expected.

"It's just a little cleverness that my son thought of on the spur of the moment." Li Huan waved his hand calmly, this is indeed just basic practice.

Gillian said depressedly: "It's not a little clever. Your Majesty asked Sang Hongyang to use this as an excuse to ask the old nobles to donate military expenses. If the Huns hadn't retreated, these things would have been enough to support you to continue the war for half a year! "

Li Huan sat up straight, his eyes rolling around.

Gillian looked at him: "What? Do you know now that you have become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the old nobles in Chang'an City?"

"Mother, you must protect me!" Li Huan was really frightened.

Most of the nobles in Chang'an are the brothers of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang who conquered the world. The combination of these people is extremely powerful. If it weren't for this, Emperor Liu Che would not have made a strange combination of inner court and outer court. A bunch of useless empire borers who would jump out from time to time to disgust him.

"Okay, don't look so disgusting." Gillian waved her hand in annoyance, interrupting Li Huan's next action: "From today on, there will definitely be many invitations to invite you to the banquet. You just have to find various invitations. The excuse is, for example... I don't think you were injured, right? But you insisted on saying that you were injured, and it was published in the Dahan Daily. Then the lie became true. After all, you beheaded so many Huns. People, it’s reasonable to get hurt a little, right?”

Li Huan gave a thumbs up: "Mother Shengming, ten days later..."

"If you don't want to go, don't go. As my son, don't I have the right to fight for you?" Gillian frowned. She didn't know whether she was angry with Liu Che or herself. angry.

"Mother, take care of yourself." Li Huan hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty naturally puts state affairs first."

"Well, there's nothing to say. Just wait here. Later, the eldest princess and Madman Nangong will come over. You can meet and talk."

"Crazy Nangong?" Li Huan looked at Gillian curiously.

Gillian said in annoyance: "You are usually very smart, why do you look so stupid today? Madman Nangong is Liu Che's second sister, Princess Nangong. She is obviously a woman, but she always treats herself as a charging general practicing martial arts. , Such a person is not a lunatic, what kind of person is a lunatic?”

Li Huan immediately didn't dare to ask any more questions. The daughter Liu Yun whom Gillian recognized had changed from the position of the first wife to the second wife. If this matter was left to others, it might be over.

But Gillian...

"Why didn't you speak? Do you think you were unhappy when I called your future wife Nangong Crazy?" Gillian suddenly looked at Li Huan, vaguely angry.

Li Huan was startled: "Mom! What are you doing? Nangong hasn't even been married yet, and the relationship between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is so tense? What do you want me to do in the future? She is so good at martial arts, maybe she can kick me out of bed at night. Come down, why don't you intercede with His Majesty, in fact, Yun'er is really good to be my first wife!"
