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

Chapter 268 New Year

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and it's snowing heavily.

Tomorrow will usher in the New Year's Day of the second year of Yuan Shou.

At noon that day, Wei Ning went to Wei Qing's Mansion, because Wei Qing's mansion had just been mourned not long ago, and the house was still in a state of peace.

The family ate together neatly.

In the afternoon, Weining followed Huo Qubing to Huo Mansion.

Huo Qubing's armor, weapons and horses are ready.

In at most one month, Huo Qubing was about to go to Hexi, so he had to prepare his weapons and horses in advance.

During this period, Huo Qubing trained Qianqi Yulin, who will be the main force for his campaign next year.

"Xiao Ning, if something happens to me, you will hand over all my property to my father in Pingyang."

Weining: "..."

"No, you will accomplish unparalleled feats this time, surpassing all other men, and astonishing the entire history of Chinese wars."

Huo Qubing smiled and said: "I like to hear this, but I am afraid of accidents on the battlefield. In any case, I will explain my funeral to you. You must remember it."

Wei Ninghun didn't care. He knew that nothing would happen to Huo Qubing and that he could still drink from the vast sea of ​​horses in this war and achieve the highest honor of a soldier.

What is the concept? In later generations, a teenage admiral, with a thousand soldiers, landed on the island of his childhood in a cruiser, and then planted the flag on the grave of the other emperor.

Wei Ning thought for a while and said, "That's not right. I also want to go on an expedition. What will you tell me about your funeral?"

Huo Qubing smiled and said, "You are different. You are just doing military exploits."

"Look, my uncle has always been so partial. He became partial when he met you."

"Why do you think this is? Could it be that... you are his son?"

Weining: "..."

"I also said that he is partial to you. I would rather exchange roles with you. You will be responsible for escorting the baggage and food and grass, and I will lead a thousand light cavalry to the battle."

Huo Qubing smacked his mouth, and it seemed to be the same thing.

"Then you are really miserable. My uncle doesn't like you! That's it!"

Wei Ning: "It's done. I won't be nagging you anymore. I'm going to the palace to celebrate the New Year."

what?

And me?

My uncle didn't ask me to go?

What's going on?

Huo Qubing scratched his head.

……

Weiyang Palace, Jiaofang Palace.

Wei Zifu and Liu Ju sat on the futon on the side of the hall early.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat in the main seat, Wei Zifu sat on the right, and next to him was Xiao Liu Zhi.

Diagonally opposite her was Liu Huan, sitting there quietly on his knees.

Not long after, Wei Ning walked up to the main hall. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded his hand and motioned for Wei Ning to take a seat in the first position on the left.

Weining also knelt down and sat down.

The clothes of the Han Dynasty were a bit awkward. The trousers were open in the middle, so you had to kneel down to cover them up, otherwise it would be too rude.

The eunuchs and maids continued to bring the ingredients into the hall and delivered them to everyone's slips.

When Xiao Liu Zhi saw Weining coming, he kept winking at Weining and planned to go and play with Weining. However, he was a little afraid of this situation, so he could only send a signal to Weining, telling him not to leave later, but to stay and have fun together. of play.

Liu Huan didn't look very good, and he always maintained etiquette and airs.

But no matter how I looked at him, I felt like he was an eggplant beaten by frost.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and the dinner officially began.

Wei Ning was a little suspicious. According to the rules, Liu Huan should sit in his position.

Sitting here, he seemed to be superior to Liu Huan, which was somewhat inconsistent with etiquette. After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Liu Huan, "Have you decided which fiefdom you want?"

Liu Huan clasped his fists and said, "Everything depends on my father's arrangement."

After a pause, he said: "Father, I have an unkind request."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Say, I will answer your request."

Liu Huan was silent for a moment and said: "My son wants to wait until the army returns in triumph, and I want to wait until my Han Dynasty has completely defeated the Xiongnu before I go to the fiefdom. Please ask my father for permission."

What's the point of delaying this longer?

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not say anything and said: "I agree with you. Then wait for the army to return in triumph, and then you can go to Shanyang County, Shandong Province and seal it."

Shandong is the birthplace of Confucianism and a relatively developed economy in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not treat Liu Huan badly. It can be said that he has given Liu Huan sufficient preferential treatment.

Liu Huan cupped his fists and said, "My son, I obey."

"Father, my son is very drunk and wants to go back to sleep early."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go."

……

Nagato Palace, Wuyuan Palace.

Liu Huan staggered back, looking at the lights of Nagato, he finally experienced the loneliness that belonged to Chen Ajiao.

Now he finally understood why Chen Ajiao tried so hard to win that position for herself.

Chen Ajiao was sitting in the middle hall. The dishes on the table were not very good, which was in sharp contrast to the dazzling array of delicacies in Jiaofang Hall.

Liu Huan's eyes were a little blurry, and he knelt in front of Chen Ajiao and said, "Mom, you have suffered."

"My child is unwilling to accept it! My child is unwilling to accept it!"

He choked with tears streaming down his face and said, "Mom, it doesn't matter if the child accepts his fate or if we go to Shandong, the child can serve you until the end of his life."

"It's just that... the child is unwilling to give in! The child wants to restore his mother to her former glory!"

Chen Ajiao stroked Liu Huan's head, and she naturally knew everything.

She shook her head slowly and said, "It's okay."

"Mom has already arranged the people for Weining's baggage team."

"Your uncle also secretly went to Yangling and found many knights, among whom Zhu Anshi was the most powerful..."

"Mom has made two preparations. Either Wei Ning will die or your father will die. One of them will die!"

After hearing this, Liu Huan said in fear: "Mother! No!"

"If you fail, you will be in catastrophe!"

"There are so many forbidden troops around my father... He is really too powerful. If he doesn't plan properly, it will be extremely dangerous."

Chen Ajiao smiled and said, "Mom won't be so impulsive. She won't take risks unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Anyway, don't worry, mother won't be careless."

Liu Huan nodded heavily and said, "Okay! I trust my mother!"

"My son will accompany his mother to the New Year's Eve dinner."

After dinner, Liu Huan returned to the study with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth slightly cracked.

Knowing that Chen Ajiao was ready, Liu Huan felt relieved.

If Chen Ajiao hadn't made any preparations, he might have had to talk a lot.

Just like Chen Ajiao said, either Wei Ning will die or his father will die!

Someone has to die!

Now that everything was under control, he also asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to delay his departure to the fiefdom, so that he could just wait in Chang'an with peace of mind.

It would be best to wait for the news that Wei Ning died outside. If not, then wait for the news that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was killed.

The Confucian group is still a vital force for him. Once the world is in chaos, the Confucian group can defend him and ascend to the throne!

But during this period, he still needs to bribe one or two senior generals of the Forbidden Army to control the situation in Weiyang Palace!
