33, the ambition of the emperor
The Wei family was in a hurry because Huo Qubing ran out. Although there was a servant who followed Huo Qubing out, Wei Mo was still very worried and couldn't help but scold her daughter.
Wei Shaoer just got married, and Huo Qubing was born to a minor official from the Pingyang Hou family a few years ago. The minor official was later sent to the Pingyang Hou’s fiefdom to work, and now he has a wife and a son, so he naturally has broken contact with Wei Shaoer.
Wei Shaoer is already young. Over the years, Wei Mai has been taking care of Huo Qubing, and now she doesn't care about him anymore.
Although I knew I was in a disadvantage, I couldn't help but say a few words when my mother scolded me.
Wei Qing was not at home, Wei's eldest son, Wei's eldest son, was gentle and unwilling to speak, Wei Bu and Wei Guang were still young and could not speak. The mother and daughter became more and more angry and became quarreled.
Yun Luan pulled Huo Qubing and stood at the gate of the Wei family. He could hear the quarrel inside. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know whether he should go in.
However, Huo Qubing was very calm and pulled Yun Luan into it, "Sister A Luan, go quickly, grandmother must be very happy to see you!" He seemed to have no concern about the fact that his mother and grandmother were still quarreling.
Yun Luan hurriedly hugged him, "Wait, go in first and report..." When outsiders heard the quarrel, it was not only that Yun Luan, an outsider, was embarrassed, but also that Wei's family would be embarrassed.
Huo Qubing rolled his eyes and said, "Sister A Luan is afraid of my mother?"
"No." Yun Luan certainly wouldn't be afraid of Wei Shaoer, but the child probably couldn't understand what adult embarrassment was.
Huo Qubing hummed, and saw Yun Luan let the servants who followed him come in to report, but he didn't stop him. He whispered, "I've been used to it for a long time. It's great that she went to the Chen family. I don't want to go to the Chen family with her. I'm going to live with my grandmother and uncle."
When Yun Luan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart and patted the young child's vest with comfort.
The Wei family was very anxious because Huo Qubing ran away from home, and the people sent out to look for had not come back yet. If they could not find anyone, they would be afraid that someone would send a message to Wei Qing, who was in Jianzhangying. At this moment, he suddenly heard that Yun Luan brought the young master back and was naturally very happy. Wei Yu personally brought the people to greet him.
"Yun Shangyi."
"Grandma!" Huo Qubing has been in a good relationship with his grandmother since he was a child. At this moment, he saw the anxious look of the old man, although he was still ignorant, but he felt that he had done something wrong. He quickly let go of Yun Luan's hand and ran over and pulled the corner of Wei's clothes, "Grandma, Qubing is back."
Wei Ma said that she saw his white, tender and well-behaved little face, so she was reluctant to blame him. She patted his vest and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Don't run out alone in the future."
Huo Qubing nodded repeatedly, "Qubing knows, grandmother, Qubing comes back with Sister Aluan." There is a bit of pride in his words.
"Yun Shangyi, I'm rude to get sick. Thank you for sending him back in person. Please come in and have a cup of tea?" Wei Ma said quickly.
Yun Luan wanted to refuse, but she could not resist Wei's enthusiasm and Huo Qubing's perplexity, so she had to thank him and followed the Wei family into the door.
Today, except for Wei Qing and Wei Junru, everyone in the Wei family is here.
Wei Yu had four sons and three daughters, three of whom were born to his deceased husband. The other three sons, Wei Qing's biological father was Zheng Ji, a minor official of the Marquis of Pingyang, while Wei Bu and Wei Guang's biological father was unknown. It is not uncommon for families like Chang'an City, and no one thinks it is strange.
The family depends on each other and their relationship is pretty good.
The eldest son of Wei is twenty-three years old this year. After Mrs. Wei gave birth to the eldest princess, she was named Shizhong by the emperor. However, he is gentle and taciturn, and is not very good in good health. She is far less than Wei Qing's valued by the emperor. She is just a busy position in Shizhong and is very diligent.
Yun Luan served in front of the emperor, and it is clear at a glance who the emperor values who they like. Although the emperor prefers weak and harmless women in women, he prefers outstanding and outstanding people towards his ministers. Even if he has a relationship with Han Yan, it is not just because of his appearance, but also because of his outstanding literary and martial arts.
Wei Qing has a humble personality, but he has outstanding martial arts skills and is extremely talented in military use. Moreover, he does not give in blindly. When he should stick to the bottom line, he will not give in easily even in front of the emperor. In the past six months, Yun Luan has heard Wei Qing argue with the emperor more than once on the issue of Jianzhangying, and in the main affairs, the emperor is not as arrogant as he is outside. Instead, he repeatedly praised Wei Qing, as if he had high hopes.
Yun Luan knew that the emperor valued Wei Qing not only because he was excellent and had no foundation, but also because the emperor placed his ambitions and long-term vision on him.
The Han Dynasty has been established for decades, and now it can be said that the people are well and the treasury is full.
However, in the north of the Han Dynasty, there has always been a great trouble for emperors of all dynasties - the Huns.
Although the Han Dynasty was strong, there were few victories facing the Huns in the north.
In the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu was ashamed of Bai Deng being surrounded, and Empress Lü was insulted by Maodun Shanyu's proposal of marriage. After that, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing had to continue to recuperate. In just a few decades, the Han Dynasty sent several princesses and noble daughters of the royal family to marry the Xiongnu. However, the Xiongnu still burned, killed and looted the border every year.
Shortly after the emperor ascended the throne, the Huns sent another letter of nationality to ask the Han to marry the princess. How could the young and energetic emperor bear it?
However, although the emperor strongly opposed it, the court officials finally chose Princess Qinshui, the eighth daughter of Emperor Jing, and the Xiongnu.
Although the emperor was not close to this sister, he was very sad at the time. It is reported that when the princess left Chang'an, the emperor held her hand and promised that one day he would pick her up and return to the man.
He was so embarrassed that he had just ascended the throne. It was naturally a big hatred for an emperor who was vigorous and suppressed by the Empress Dowager. Therefore, outsiders only saw that the emperor often went to Shanglinyuan to play and play, but they did not know that all the guards of Jianzhang camp in Shanglinyuan were future soldiers trained by the emperor. The huge Shanglinyuan spanned the area of several counties and was used for them to practice riding, shooting, placing troops and formations.
Wei Qing was able to command Jianzhang Wei at a young age, which shows the emperor's high hopes for him.
In comparison, eldest son Wei, who was originally Mrs. Wei's father and mother, seemed much mediocre. Fortunately, he was gentle in character and was not jealous of his younger brother being valued by His Majesty. The family had a very good relationship.
Yun Luan was invited in for tea, and Wei Ma was not interested in scolding her daughter anymore. Wei Shaoer was relieved and wanted to pull Huo Qubing away.
Unfortunately, Huo Qubing had a bit of temper when facing this biological mother. He plunged into Yun Luan's arms and didn't even look at his mother, which made Wei Shaoer a little embarrassed for a moment.
Wei Mama was not healed, "Forget it, just stay at home when you get sick, you can go by yourself."
Wei Shaoer was a little embarrassed, but she still knew that it was inappropriate to throw her son to her mother and brother.
Huo Qubing also raised his head and shouted, "I want to be with my grandmother and uncle!"
Wei Mama sighed and said, "Forget it, go. Getting sick is with me, don't worry." She also knew that her family was not well-born, and it was not easy for her daughter to join the Chen family after the emperor gave her marriage. How could she not want her children to live a good life as a mother?
The brothers of the Hengshu Wei family are not married yet, and she is not old yet, so it is not difficult to take care of her grandson.
Only then did Mr. Wei leave with confidence.
"Let Yun Shangyi be a joke." Wei Ma said embarrassedly.
She often heard her grandson say that she wanted Yunluan to be her aunt, and occasionally she would like to speak up to the eldest son and seemed to have this meaning when talking about His Majesty. Unconsciously, she also hoped that this would come true.
Now that I have made a joke in front of others, it’s a bit embarrassing.
Yun Luan also saw her discomfort and smiled, "Children who are ignorant like to run around. What's the matter? I heard that the wedding event of the Wei Shizhong is approaching, congratulations."
Wei Mo looked at her eldest son, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, "I will be relieved when I see them getting married. Then I will ask Yun Shangyi to come over and have a glass of water and wine."
Yun Luan smiled and said, "If you can leave the palace, Yun Luan will definitely come to disturb her."
Seeing that she was so approachable, even Huo Qubing turned around in her arms, the smile on her face became even worse. She clapped her high and said, "Where, if Yun Shangyi could come, our family would be happy."
Yun Luan responded with a smile, thinking in her heart that even if she really can't leave the palace, she should prepare a gift in advance.
Looking back on Wei Qing's days in Pingyang, I think it's right for him to choose to return to his mother.
Just looking at Wei Ma and Wei’s eldest son, we can see that even before the Wei family rose, the family was slaves in Pingyang Hou’s Mansion, and their lives were probably much happier than in Pingyang County.
When Wei Qing came back, Yun Luan was about to say goodbye and leave. When Wei Ma came back, she hurriedly asked Wei Qing to send Yun Luan back to the palace.
Without waiting for Yun Luan to refuse, Wei Qing entered the door and didn't even have time to sit down and then turned around and accompanied her out. Yun Luan needed to go back before the palace gate was closed.
When Huo Qubing saw that the two were about to leave, he immediately grabbed the corner of his uncle's clothes and refused to let go. Wei Qing had no choice but to pick him up and carry him out.
The Wei family is not far from the palace gate, and they arrived in a short while after driving.
Yun Luan smiled at Wei Qing and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wei."
Wei Qing nodded slightly and said, "I should thank A Luan for this. If you hadn't been sick, I wouldn't know where you would have gone today."
When Huo Qubing heard his uncle say bad things, he pulled his hair with an unhappy look on his face.
Wei Qing sighed, reached out and grabbed his little hand and made him unable to move.
Yun Luan looked at the child struggling in Wei Qing's arms and couldn't help laughing, "I'm very smart when I get sick and don't run around, so I must just go out to have fun."
Huo Qubing nodded repeatedly, indicating that Sister Aluan was right.
"A Luan left the palace today to be a doctor?" Wei Qing asked suddenly.
Yun Luan was a little confused and nodded, "No, the doctor is very happy to recover from his illness, and send me some things."
Wei Qing frowned slightly when he heard this, "The Queen, A Luan will avoid some of the past two days."
Yun Luan was slightly surprised. Wei Qing was a gentleman who was never behind the scenes, especially the queen.
Although Queen Chen made things difficult for Mrs. Wei several times, Wei Qing did not say anything wrong with Queen Chen behind his back. When he talked about him occasionally, he only said that it was not easy for the queen. It was a bit strange to say this suddenly today.
Wei Qing thought she didn't understand and explained, "When the doctor was seriously ill, Taizhu Dou and the Queen had someone to intervene in some things. Now that the doctor was cured, His Majesty gave him a heavy reward, and the Queen was probably unhappy. The Queen may not have any malice to you because of the Empress Dowager, but... she is a little impatient. If something happens, it will not be beautiful."
Yun Luan also understood what Wei Qing meant. Queen Chen did not have any hatred for her, but it would be hard to say what would happen if she happened to run into her and was in a bad mood.
I had experienced it once in Shanglin Yuan Yunluan last year.
Zhan Yan smiled and Yun Luan said, "I understand, thank you Lord Wei."
Wei Qing shook his head and jumped out of the car with Huo Qubing in his arms, "A Luan is careful in everything in the palace."
"Sister A Luan, remember to come to see Gubing." Huo Qubing waved his hand in his uncle's arms.
Yun Luan waved at him with a smile, "Okay, I have to listen to my uncle when I get sick."
"Yeah." Huo Qubing nodded repeatedly.
Watching the car slowly enter the palace gate, Huo Qubing sighed like a little adult.
Wei Qing was a little helpless, "Why are you sighing?"
Huo Qubing said, "Uncle, you are so stupid. When will Sister A Luan be my aunt?"
Wei Qing was speechless, "When did I say A Luan wanted to be your aunt?"
Huo Qubing said, "What should I do if Sister A Luan becomes someone else's aunt?"
"..." This seemed to be a problem, Wei Qing was speechless for a long time.
-------------------
Note: There is a record of Princess Nangong and the pro-Huns in unofficial history, but the official history records that Princess Nangong married Zhang Zuo, the Marquis of Nangong. In addition, according to general historical sayings, those who married Princess Nangong were generally royal women, and there were no real princesses.
Princess Qinshui was fabricated by combining the unofficial history of Princess Nangong. In the early years of Emperor Wu of Han, there was indeed a marriage princess who did not record whether it was a royal family girl or a royal princess. In the history of the early Han Dynasty, most princesses only recorded the queen's birth, and there was no record of the concubine's birth, but other concubines could not only give birth to sons but not daughters.
