The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 244 What do you think of the father-son relationship?

Huo Qubing’s father?

Weining knew only a little about Huo Qubing and did not know the full story.

But it was still his father, so he called Huo Zhongru and the ten-year-old boy over there.

"It's cold outside, so go inside first to avoid the cold."

If the servant wanted to say something else, Wei Ning said: "Listen to me, your Marquis will not blame you."

"It's not cool outside, don't let others gossip about you."

The servant nodded hurriedly, and then took Huo Zhongru and his son to the side hall.

Weining went to the middle hall and found Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing pulled Wei Ning with a smile and said, "Little brother, why are you here?"

"Come and see!"

Huo Qubing was sitting on his knees in front of the document. There were various sand tables piled on the entire document, and there were maps on both sides of the document.

After spring, he will go on an expedition.

In this expedition, Huo Qubing will completely establish his military status in Chinese history, drinking from the vast sea of ​​horses, and banishing wolves to live in Xu!

These days, he repeatedly sat at home and studied the map for next year's expedition to Hexi.

He excitedly pointed to the sand table and talked eloquently to Wei Ning, saying: "The military target of our army is too huge, and the Huns may not dare to fight us head-on."

"I plan to lead a group of Yu Lin to attack in the desert. The light cavalry is very maneuverable. I want to outflank their lair!"

"Next year I will let the Huns see the speed of my big man, so that they can only see my horse-tailed sand city. I can fight whenever I want and run away whenever I want!"

"I want them to fear this desert ghost!"

Huo Qubing became more and more excited as he talked, saying: "I have carefully studied all the maps and terrains of the desert. At this time, I have stored the map in my mind, and I know how to fight even with my eyes closed!"

Wei Ning smiled and said to Huo Qubing, "I believe you."

"Let's not talk about these things, what's going on outside?"

Huo Qubing grimaced and said with disgust: "What else can happen? That old guy can't live in Pingyang anymore. His son has grown up. Now he has no way to serve the country and is desperate. He wants me to help him clear the relationship. In the court, Get an official position."

The old man Huo Qubing talks about is naturally his father Huo Zhongru, and the son he talks about is Huo Guang, Huo Qubing's half-brother.

Wei Ning advised: "After all, it's your father, so he won't be so heartless, right?"

Huo Qubing hummed: "Has he raised me? Has he recognized me?"

"Huo Guang is his biological son, I am not!"

Oh, by the way, Huo Qubing's half-brother is Huo Guang, the future powerful minister Sima.

Is a character.

I am still short of people in southern Xinjiang, so Huo Guang is my choice.

Weining didn't know how to persuade Huo Qubing. This was his own family matter.

Besides, if this thing happens to Weining, Wei Ning himself doesn't know how to deal with it. Maybe he will be more ruthless than Huo Qubing.

Wei Ning thought for a moment and said, "I want to use Huo Guang."

Huo Qubing said: "Oh, it's up to you. That kid can't do anything except reading some books."

Weining: "?"

"Have you ever paid attention to him?"

Huo Qubing: "..."

"Oh! Don't worry so much. Anyway, don't give him too high a position and don't delay your affairs."

"Let's start with a small official."

Although Huo Qubing said he didn't care whether they lived or died, his body was still honest.

"Okay, if you don't want to see them, just stay here and I'll go find them."

Huo Qubing: "Oh, whatever you want."

Wei Ning walked toward the side hall with his hands behind his back, while Huo Qubing followed him secretly and stood outside to eavesdrop.

"See Lord Wei."

Huo Zhongru and Huo Guang saluted Weining respectfully.

Huo Zhongru is still a small official in Pingyang. He used to look down on Wei Shao'er and thought that the Wei family were just slaves, but now he can no longer afford it.

Wei Ning pressed his hands and said, "You're welcome. I heard that you came all the way to Beijing to find an official position for your son?" Huo Zhongru said hurriedly: "Back to Lord Wei, my son studied in his youth and is now full of knowledge. …”

Wei Ning interrupted him and said, "The imperial court is not short of knowledgeable scholars."

"If everyone can become an official after studying, then the official positions of the Han Dynasty will be far from enough."

"This……"

Huo Zhongru was a little embarrassed and wanted to mention that Huo Guang was Huo Qubing's younger brother, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Wei Ning pondered for a while and said, "If there is a chance for him to gain experience, please think about it carefully."

"Go to Southern Xinjiang and start with managing it. If possible, I will transfer him back in the future."

Southern Xinjiang...

Huo Zhongru looked embarrassed. That place was an uncivilized wilderness. It was said that only many demoted officials from the Han Dynasty would go to that place to suffer.

Naturally, he didn't want his son to go to that kind of place.

Wei Ning said: "At least he won't die."

"Either you join the army and if you are lucky enough to come back alive, the court will grant you an official position."

Huo Zhongru: "..."

You are all high-ranking and powerful princes. If your Wei family is so powerful, can't you get an official position for Huo Guang in Chang'an?

Wei Ning said helplessly: "You have to ask Huo Qubing about this."

"I don't have any friendship or friendship with you. This is all I can do. I've finished my words. You think about it carefully. If you can, go to the Marquis Mansion to find me."

Wei Ning left a few words and headed towards Weiyang Palace.

Huo Zhongru glanced at Huo Guang. There was no fear in Huo Guang's eyes, but he was a little eager to try.

"Dad, I want to give it a try!"

"This is a rare and valuable experience. If we can manage southern Xinjiang, how can we not manage the world in the future?"

The hardest bones have been chewed off, and you will have enough experience to become a minister in the future.

Huo Guang has been very ambitious since he was a child! He himself also understands the truth that ambition should match his ability, otherwise everything would be wishful thinking!

Outside the door, Huo Qubing nodded secretly.

My half-brother is quite a talent.

……

Weiyang Palace.

Wei Ning went to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and briefly explained the affairs of southern Xinjiang. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not ask too many questions and listened to Weining in everything.

"Uncle, I just went to Huo Qu's home, and his father is here."

"Oh?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said suspiciously, "Did he meet his father?"

Wei Ning shook his head and said, "No."

"But it makes sense. Huo Zhongru was born as a father, but he never raised Huo Qubing. He is a bad father."

"Now that Huo Qubing is very prosperous, he comes to ask for help. Who can bear this?"

"Anyway, I quite support Huo Qubing's doing this."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "..."

"What about you?"

Wei Ning asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suspiciously, "What? What about me?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked cautiously: "What if your father finds you one day?"

"Will you kick him out of the house too?"

Wei Ning said: "That won't happen."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled happily and said: "That's right. After all, we are flesh and blood relatives..."

Wei Ning said: "I probably won't let him get close to my residence, lest others see him gossiping."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "..."
