A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 209 Seeing a dragon in the field, the old is gone and the new is back
The Han cavalry led by Wei Qing fled in front, followed by more than 2,000 Huns cavalry in hot pursuit.

Seeing that they were about to be overtaken, the Han army just arrived at Heze Mountain. It was said to be a mountain, but in fact it was a big dirt bag. Wei Qing immediately ordered everyone to dismount, then led people up, surrounded the horses in the middle, and prepared to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.

The Huns were not polite when they saw this, and ordered people to dismount and charge up. However, the Han army had many bows and crossbows, and the Huns could not charge forward. The two sides were in a stalemate. Not wanting to lose too much, the Huns surrounded He Zeshan and prepared for a long siege. , wanting to besiege the Han army to death.

About half a day later, the reinforcements sent by Baifang arrived. The leader was Lu Qiuwu, who had been dismissed from his post. He arrived in time with a thousand elite cavalry assigned to him by Baifang. After he was dismissed from the post of Eastern Captain, he was Bai Fang was admitted to the general's mansion and served as a partial general.

Seeing that the Han reinforcements had arrived and could not take advantage, the Xiongnu decisively abandoned dozens of corpses and ran away.

Looking at the white-haired Lu Qiuwu who was over sixty years old and had been replaced by him, Wei Qing felt very ashamed and saluted him with respect.

Lu Qiuwu smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite. Leaking information is my dereliction of duty. Your Majesty did not kill me, which is already a great kindness."

Then the two parties gathered together and returned to Yanmen County.

Wei Qing sent someone to send the most specific and latest public opinion map of the Xiongnu to Chang'an.

April
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace
The Emperor of Han held the newborn princess in his arms and played with her very happily.

"Your Majesty, there is a message from Captain Wei." A eunuch walked in and said softly.

"Hand it over!" Emperor Han looked at the little princess and said casually.

The eunuch opened a large bamboo tube and poured out a letter and six parchments.

Emperor Han glanced at it, then handed the little princess to Wei Zifu next to him, and he opened the letter and parchment to look at it.

He was very happy when he found out that it was a detailed military map of the Xiongnu at the border. He said to Wei Zifu next to him: "This is a gift from your brother to me. It's a good gift!"

Wei Zifu smiled but said nothing, and Emperor Han didn't care. After all, there was Empress Chen in the inner palace now. She needed to be careful about her words and deeds. However, these days would not last long.

"According to my edict, Wei Qing, the eastern commander of Yanmen County, has rendered meritorious service and has been promoted to Zhenbei General's Mansion Army Sima. He still retains the position of eastern commander and concurrently serves as Taizhong doctor."

When Wei Zifu heard that the Han Emperor had honored Wei Qing so much, he immediately came forward with his two daughters in his arms to thank the Han Emperor on behalf of Wei Qing.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty helped Wei Zifu up, hugged his two princesses again and said happily: "I would also like to thank you for sending me a peerless general!"

After that, he asked people from Langzhong's Mansion to mark the information on these sheepskin maps on his big map so that he could more directly analyze the situation between Han and Hungary.

Han Dynasty four years

Prime Minister Tian Fu's old tree sprouted new buds, and he married the daughter of King Yan. He held a banquet at the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an. The fallen Taiwei Dou Ying and his servant Guan Fu went to congratulate her on the orders of the Queen Mother.

At the banquet, everyone was changing glasses, and it was very lively. However, Guan Fu seemed to be drunk, so he got up and wanted to dance for everyone.

After dancing for a while, Guan Fu actually wanted to invite his host Tian Fu to dance with him. Tian Fu refused. Guan Fu was very unhappy, thinking that he was the prime minister? What are you pulling at? It was like someone's ancestor had never been a prime minister. Fortunately, Dou Ying reacted quickly and pulled him back.

Guanfu had no choice but to sit down gloomily and drink alone.

Soon he became very drunk and started talking nonsense.

I saw him staggering up to Tian Fu, holding two wine jars, placing one heavily in front of Tian Fu's desk, knocking over several plates with food, pointing at Tian Fu and saying: "Prime Minister, Come, I'll give you a toast, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, Tian Fu picked up the wine jar and started drinking. Tian Fu was so angry that he was trembling with anger at Guan Fu's rudeness, and ignored Guan Fu who was drunk and crazy.

After Guan Fu finished drinking, he found that Tian Fu had not touched the wine vat, and said unhappily: "Prime Minister, this is your fault. I have finished drinking, why are you still motionless? Why do you look down on me? Or do you look down on me, Mr. Guan?"

Tian Fu was still indifferent. At this time, another person spoke: "Guan Fu, just say what you say. Don't implicate my Guan family. You, Guan Fu, are just the son of a retainer of my Guan family. How can you represent my Guan family?"

"Guan Xian, why can't I represent the Guan family? Not only do I have the surname Guan, but I am also a servant of the imperial court. My status and position are all above yours. You are just a junior in the Yingyin Marquis Mansion. What qualifications do you have to speak to me? Get out of here!" After Guan Fu scolded Guan Xian, he turned to look at Tian Fu and said:

"Prime Minister, are you going to drink this wine today?"

Tian Fu still didn't look at him seriously.

Guan Fu's fragile and sensitive heart felt insulted. He lost his mind and swept away the food and drinks in front of Tian Fu. He looked at Tian Fu with anger and said, "Tian Fu, why are you so arrogant? Ten years ago, you You are just a commoner in Guizhou. You relied on your sister to marry the late emperor and give birth to your majesty to seize the high position of prime minister. What are your abilities?
I, Guanfu, have followed my late father to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms since the time of Emperor Jing. Later, I won the position of Grand Servant by virtue of my military exploits and ability. I have worked hard for this all by myself. How about you? He's just a coward who only relies on his sister!

You have the nerve to look down on me, why do you look down on me? ah? Let me tell you, you have to drink this wine today, or you have to drink it if you don’t want to! "

After saying that, he placed the wine jar in his hand heavily on the tables, and the wine inside splashed out. Tian Fu couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"

"Here!" Several sergeants walked in.

"Take down this rebellious person who has no respect for his superiors and has committed crimes like this!" Tian Fu pointed at Guan Fu with a livid face.

"Order!"

Several sergeants dragged Guan Fu away, but Guan Fu did not resist because he was so drunk that he fell asleep.

Dou Ying immediately said: "Guan Taipu was just a drunken gaffe. It can't be taken seriously. Who has never been drunk before? Right!"

After saying that, he looked at the others, but no one said anything to help Dou Ying, who was now out of power. Dou Ying only felt sad. Tian Fu looked at Dou Ying, snorted coldly, and left the banquet. Others also left one after another.

But this banquet incident has evolved into a political incident, and things are still going on.

In order to completely cut off the power of the Dou family in the court and prevent their resurgence, the Han Emperor wanted to drag Dou Ying into trouble at the expense of Guan Fu, whom he valued.

So the Emperor of the Han Dynasty borrowed the help of the Queen Mother and sentenced Guan Fu, who was imprisoned in the Tingwei Mansion, to the crime of "disrespect" and beheaded that day in public display. Because of the violence of the tribe, the Han Emperor ordered the tribe to be exterminated.

Later, rumors spread in Chang'an that Guan Fu was actually ordered by Taiwei Dou Ying, and his purpose was to attack the power of the Queen Mother and avenge the Dou family's loss of power.

Therefore, at the strong request of the Queen Mother, the Han Emperor ordered Taiwei Dou Ying to be imprisoned. Soon after, Dou Ying died in prison. His Dou family either died or escaped, and was almost wiped out in Chang'an. The rest were related to the Dou family. Many officials and generals have denied their relationship with the Dou family, but there are still dozens of officials and generals implicated.

Afterwards, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty found the Prime Minister Tian Fu and angrily reprimanded him for taking too much action. He also brought up the story of Dou Ying who angrily exposed the relationship between Tian Fu and the King of Huainan in prison, and then used this reason to remove him from the position of prime minister. , Tian Fu soon died of depression in his house.

Subsequently, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty appointed Bai Lun, the imperial censor, as the prime minister, Zhang Tang, the imperial officer, as the censor, and a veteran in the army as the Taiwei.

At this point, the Han Emperor completely eliminated the forces in the court that he could not deal with, and truly achieved great power.

Han Dynasty five years

Emperor Han finally couldn't stand Empress Chen's domineering attitude. He thought of Emperor Jing's revelation of deposing Empress Bo, so he pretended to be seriously ill and secretly asked Taoist priests to pray for him. Finally, the little straw man was found in Jiaofang Palace, and Empress Chen had been childless for many years. Empress Chen was deposed on these two charges and moved to Changmen Palace.

Because the Han Emperor already had absolute power, this matter progressed very smoothly.

Bai Lun, who was already the prime minister, learned about the incident from his son Bai He who was personally involved in the matter. He said to Bai He: "This is a complete replica of Emperor Jing's deposing Queen Bo. Even the Taoist priest who executed it is the same Taoist priest." , but now he has become an old Taoist priest.

It is still a joint law enforcement by the three departments, still in Jiaofang Palace, but the target has changed. The person who initiated it was Princess Guantao before, but now it is His Majesty! It seems that he is worthy of being the son of Emperor Jing. Now that you are a doctor and stay by his side all year round, you must be careful and careful. Do you understand? "

"I know, kid."

"By the way, Chao Ge wrote that your grandfather is in very bad health and is preparing to unblock the seal for his father. You have to shoulder the burden of Chang'an!"

Bai He said solemnly: "Father, don't worry, my child will live up to his trust."

October
Prime Minister Bai Lun asked the Han Emperor to beg for bones, saying that his husband had been in poor health in recent years, and he hoped to return to the country and become a feudal lord to support his parents.

After the Han emperor tried to retain him three times, he agreed to his request.

Zhang Tang was appointed prime minister and Gongsun Hong was appointed as the imperial censor. In the history of the Han Dynasty, there were the first prime ministers and censors who were not born in the Marquis of Che. Moreover, in the foreseeable future, even the Taiwei might not necessarily let those who were not born in the Marquis of Che. Serve.

Zhang Tang can also say that his family has a small amount of assets and he is a master of Legalism, while Gongsun Hong is a truly poor son. He is not a noble son of the Gongsun family, but a distant relative of the Gongsun family for unknown generations.

His family was poor since he was a child. Finally, with his own efforts, he was recognized by the Gongsun family. After becoming famous, he was able to become a doctor in the same batch as Jia Yi. Later, he was recommended by Han six years. He was already nearly sixty years old. With his knowledge, he was favored by the Han emperor, and gradually became a doctor in the doctor's house, a servant in the palace, a Taizhong doctor, a Zuo Neishi, a Yushi Cheng, and a Yushi doctor.

In addition, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty also made Bai Lun one of the Nine Qings, as a compensation for Bai Lun's knowledge and interest.

November of the same year

Bai Gongzhou passed away suddenly in Chaoge at the age of ninety.
