Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 290 Huo Guang Who Opens the Door to a New World 【Ticket Request】

There are also Li Cai and Zhou Ping in the study.

Mrs. Dong whom I met just this afternoon was also there.

Behind him is the well-known historian Sima Qian, who is dressed in a green robe and has a slightly serious face.

In addition, there are a few people from the Nine Ministers, including Da Sinong, as well as officials such as Chang Shi and Si Zhi under the prime minister's command. There are quite a few people.

Huo Qubing came to the top of the rank of generals and sat down next to the emperor's right hand.

The emperor pushed the fruit in a wooden tray on the table to his side.

Huo Qubing found a pomegranate on the wooden tray.

This is still a rare item at the moment, and it has been passed down from the Western Regions.

Peel the pomegranate in half, revealing the bright red and moist flesh with distinct grains.The emperor obviously tasted it just now, and passed the remaining half to Huo Qubing: "Try it, the food from the Western Regions is quite sweet. But there are more pits and less meat."

Huo Qubing was never polite to the emperor, so he reached out and took some fruit to eat.

He knew that the emperor loved grapes, so he didn't eat pomegranates, but picked grapes from the plate, picked them one by one and put them in his mouth.

The emperor stretched out his hand and silently took the fruit plate away:

"Not long after you came back from the war in the Western Regions, have you eaten this fruit called pomegranate? You didn't eat this fruit, but just stared at my favorite grapes, and you ate them all."

The emperor was in a good mood. After hiding the grapes, he said:
"The tribute from the Western Regions involves fruits and vegetables, seasonings, cattle and sheep products, etc. All the lords in the court suggest that the seeds of fruits and vegetables should be planted in our Han territory."

"Recently all countries in the Western Regions have entered our Han territory, and this is a national celebration.

In the past, the Xiongnu ruled the countries in the Western Regions, and the annual tribute received by the Xiongnu was the most profitable part of the Xiongnu's harvest.Now not only the Western Regions belong to my great Han, but also the Western Huns have been surrendered by Qubing. This matter is very important. "

The return of the Western Regions and the Xiongnu to the Han was the real turning point for the Han and the Huns.

One ebbs and the other ebbs and flows, and the offensive and defensive situation has changed hands since then.

The emperor talked eloquently: "Yesterday the Xiongnu sent people to Beiguan to inform the general that they wanted to bring up the marriage proposal again, but this time it was they who wanted to marry the Xiongnu's Shanyu daughter.

He also specifically pointed out that it is best if I am willing to accept a concubine, otherwise I can marry Qubing, haha. "

Everyone understood why the emperor was so happy.

When the Han Dynasty founded the country, because it cleaned up the mess at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and its national power did not support large-scale wars with the Huns, it made compromises and made peace with the Huns.

The emperor, clan, and ministers have always regarded it as the greatest shame.

In recent years, the power of the Han Dynasty has been growing, and it has won consecutive battles with the Xiongnu, forcing the Huns to turn around and propose a marriage.

It is tantamount to washing away the shame of the early Han Dynasty.

The emperor was so excited that he rarely asked Huo Qubing, "Would you like the daughter of the Xiongnu's Chanyu?"

Huo Qubing said: "This is a plan to delay the defeat of the Xiongnu. I don't like Xiongnu women."

As expected, the emperor changed the topic: "We are preparing for the Fengchan, and it will take some time. I plan to hold an autumn hunt and go out with the ministers for activities."

The emperor is in a good mood and wants to take all the civil and military officials out for team building.

Hunting, banquets held by officials at all levels, watching songs and dances, playing games, and composing lyrics and poems were all the main ways of communication and entertainment in the Han Dynasty.

Officials held banquets almost every day in Chang'an City, and hunting was a large-scale activity of the elite.The emperor fixed two to three times a year, leading the clan and participating officials.

Hunting is also an opportunity for many people to show off, hoping to attract the emperor's attention and strive for a higher starting point for becoming an official.

The emperor discussed various state affairs with his ministers, and when Huo Qubing and Dong Zhongshu came out of the palace, it was already dark.

Huo Guang was outside the palace, waiting beside the driver for Dong Zhongshu.

"Zimeng, go with Huo Hou. If it's late, you can stay in the Hou's mansion, and you can come to Taixue to find me tomorrow." Dong Zhongshu said.

Huo Guang readily agreed, saluted Dong Zhongshu who boarded the car, and sent the car away respectfully.

Huo Qubing said to the guard behind him: "Let's go for a walk in the city."

Xiao Qisheng and the others immediately changed into their regular clothes, and the group left the north gate of Weiyang Palace and came to the downtown area of ​​Chang'an.

The scorching sun will set.

Chang'an's main street is noisy and bustling, with pedestrians flocking.

Chang'an in this period can be said to be the best place in the world. Whether it is the degree of excitement, the scale of buildings, the things sold, or the novelty of what he saw and heard, they all had a great impact on Huo Guang, who had just come to Chang'an.

Huo Qubing said as he walked, "I am a big man who is now in the period of expanding our borders, reforming the old problems internally, and striving for the new."

"Your Majesty has great talent and ambitions. But you still need a matching national strength as a foundation to make the big man develop rapidly and get better and better."

Huo Qubing looks at the present with the perspective of future generations looking at history.

He is very clear about the comparison between Emperor Wu's early stage, middle stage, and even late stage.

There is no need to say too much to Huo Guang right now, just guide him properly.

"The countries in the Western Regions returned to the Han, and Chang'an was the first place to change. Many things that I didn't have in the past have passed on, and there will be more and more in the future."

Huo Qubing said: "You have to keep in mind that there is more than one big man in the world. Only by looking outside can you reduce complacency."

Huo Guang respectfully said: "I have written down all my brother's teachings."

Not long after the group walked down the street, they met two acquaintances.

Zhang Cigong and Li Gan were dressed in casual clothes, followed by a few attendants.

Li Gan went to Xiguan years ago, and this time he also returned to Chang'an for a rest shortly after Huo Qubing returned from the Western Regions.

However, in the past Zhang Cigong was a general under Wei Qing's command, while Li Gan followed his father Li Guang and belonged to the inherent class of the old faction in the army.

The two parties are on different hilltops, and Zhang Cigong and Li Gan have never been in contact.

At present, Huo Qubing is expanding his territory and going to wars many times, which largely diverted the internal contradictions of the Han army and made the guns unanimous to the outside world.

Li Gan has clearly voted under Huo Qubing's command.

The upper and lower are effective, and the people below are also mixed with them.

The division of factions within the Han army has become increasingly blurred and almost non-existent.

Huo Qubing was slightly relieved to see the two of them wandering the street together, but soon he noticed that Li Gan's eyes were evasive, and realized that something was wrong.

"What are you two doing together?"

Zhang Cigong simply stepped forward, ready to drag Huo Qubing into trouble:

"Li Ganchu is back, I'll take him to wash off the murderous spirit from the battle."

"Wash? What to wash with, where to wash?"

Huo Qubing said: "You two want to go whoring together?"

Li Gan covered his face with his sleeves, he felt embarrassed when he met his immediate boss while visiting a brothel, his face turned red.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he never went to places like Nulu to have fun in the past.

This time, I listened to Zhang Cigong's bewitching. He said that those women have the same unique skills as human hands, such as pinching dragons, beating flowers, beating slopes, rolling bird eggs, donkeys pulling mills, snow pressing the top, walking around eight bends, stepping on houses, making strips, etc. and other means.

One person has one skill, if you can try them all, you will be depressed for many days.

Li Gan seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and was dumbfounded when he heard it.

He has been fighting outside for several months, and his body is as strong as iron. His heart was agitated, so he agreed to follow him to have a look.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Huo Qubing when he went out.

"Lang Zhongling, I'll just go and have a look, really, just take a look..." Li Gan said coyly.

Zhang Cigong said, "That's not what you said just now."

Then he said to Huo Qubing: "Are you going or not? There are two women from the Western Regions in the north. They are both good at singing and dancing, and their waists are so twisted that they can break bones."

"Women from the Western Regions, come to Chang'an...to do this?" Huo Qubing asked unexpectedly.

The industry is so introverted, and it has advanced to such an extent with the times?
While the commerce, trade, fruits, cattle and sheep from the Western Regions have been passed on, are there also talents in this area?

Zhang Cigong said: "It's been half a month since the Hu girl from the Western Regions came to Chang'an, her reputation has already spread, only you don't know.

But they don't accompany the guests, they only come out to dance two Hu dances every night, the dance is coquettish.Sometimes I invite guests into the house to be alone, but I only dance and play the huqin from the Western Regions, and I don’t stay overnight.

All the lovers in Chang'an are guessing who can win the first prize of these two women. "

Zhang Cigong winked: "Qubing, if you make a move, you will have greater hopes than anyone else."

Huo Qubing glanced at Huo Guang who was on the side, fearing that he would spoil his younger brother, he wanted to leave.

Zhang Cigong said in a low voice: "If you really don't want to go, don't regret it. Let me tell you, there is someone in Pingkang Fang that you never expect."

Huo Qubing said: "Except you, Liu Xiang and the others, who else I can't think of?"

Zhang Cigong whispered a name, and Huo Qubing was taken aback: "Are you serious?
If he goes, won't he change his appearance?How did you find out? "

Zhang Cigong pointed to his nose: "You should know my ability, he has indeed changed his appearance, but I can smell it, there is no mistake."

Zhang Cigong has practiced scouting technique, is proficient in tracking and checking the enemy, and has an exceptionally gifted nose, even a big wolf dog can't compare to him.

Huo Qubing glanced at Huo Guang, and wanted someone to send him back to Taixue first.

Huo Guang immediately said: "Brother, I have reached the age of marriage. I am my age in Pingyang, and some of them have heirs. I beg you to take me to see and see together."

Huo Qubing thought for a while, this matter cannot be blocked, the more blocked he became, the more curious he became: "Then go and have a look, let's go."

Zhang Cigong was full of energy and gave Li Gan a wink.

Led by Zhang Cigong, the group formed a luxurious team and headed north of Chang'an.

Chang'an Beili is the famous Pingkangfang neighborhood after the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Women (prostitutes) Lu (courtyards) get together here, and it is the earliest night culture distribution center.

"Qubing, you should clean up the Beili area and lower the price tag."

While leading the way, Zhang Cigong said, "As soon as the women from the Western Regions come, the prices in the surrounding markets will increase accordingly. My salary feels tight."

"Whose business is Beili Gefang City?"

Huo Qubing said: "You are a lieutenant of the Northern Army, and the defense of various prefectures in Chang'an happens to be under your jurisdiction, why don't you care about it?"

Zhang Cigong spread his hands and said: "If I can manage it, should I still look for you?

The income of this street in Beili has people from the clan behind it.Except for you, the rest of the people are powerless to manage it, and it's not a big deal. I won't be able to confront the clan because of the high prices.

You pass down an order, and the clan has to follow it.How about you write a warrant? "

A daughter-in-law has such great interests?The clan is not afraid of getting their hands dirty, so they also participate in this aspect?
Huo Qubing didn't have much special opinion on women relying on talent to make a living.

The fundamental desire of people, the ban is not the best solution.

But his family has a lovely wife and he doesn't want to eat popular hot pot. All the meat has been boiled in one pot and he can't eat it.

He ignored Zhang Cigong's words.

While speaking, I came to Beili, also known as Beishi.

It is the most lively place in Chang'an at night, with dignitaries, businessmen, merchants traveling to and from Chang'an, court dignitaries, all kinds of people.

There are still some princes and nobles, but I just like this Fengchen tune.

Spend a lot of money and come secretly, as if you are in a fairyland.

Huo Qubing's popularity was too high, and after he came here, he changed his appearance and turned into a villain with a somewhat fierce face.

Except for Huo Guang, the rest of the people also changed, and they entered Pingkangfang, one of the four major houses in Chang'an, under the guidance of Zhang Cigong.

As soon as I came in, I found that the business here is really very good, making money every day.

I also saw a few acquaintances, including officials at the level lower than Jiuqing, who also made unusual concealments.

Most of the people who come here have a tacit understanding, pretending not to know each other.

"I have a special class here. Let's go and have a seat." Zhang Cigong showed the face of an old customer, and the familiar ones led the way.

Huo Qubing: "Where is the person you mentioned?"

Zhang Cigong: "Don't worry, I'll be here in a while."

Entering the lobby while talking, the sound of silk and bamboo, chime bells and drum music, a scene of singing and dancing to promote peace.

There is a high platform in the middle, women dance lightly, gauze clothes are flying, flowers are red, willows are green, long legs are long, and the air smells fragrant.

Huo Guang also opened the door to the new world with great interest.

Zhang Cigong has a private seat on the second floor all year round. One side is open, and he can see the lobby condescendingly, and can be independent from the outside. He is superior to others and has a very good perspective.

"Qu Bing, why are you here?"

Huo Qubing was startled, and when he looked back, it was Liu Xiangxing approaching in a hurry.

These ghosts and monsters usually can't see people, so we can find one here.

"I've changed my shape, how can you recognize it?"

"How many years have we known each other, and I can be sure it's you by feeling."

Liu Xiang was a little proud, and came over to hook his shoulders and put his back on his back: "Besides, most of the acquaintances who come here are in various disguises. I have seen them a lot, so I can tell them apart naturally."

While talking, Zhang Cigong reminded: "Look, here we come. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Liu Xiang lowered his voice: "Who are you talking about?

I also saw two people you would never expect coming in just before you came in. "

Wow... it looks like there are quite a few people.

Huo Qubing turned his head to look at the person Zhang Cigong mentioned - Dao Zun.

He changed his appearance and turned into a bearded man.

Huo Qubing turned around and walked towards Daozun.

Dao Zun had an induction, turned his head and saw Huo Qubing, his expression changed drastically.
