Reborn Prince Liu Ju

Although a few little cousins ​​got into a quarrel and almost knocked off the roof of his uncle's house, Liu Ju played with them for most of the day with great interest, until the sunset when he was picked up by Huo Qubing under the reluctant eyes of the little guys. gone.

On the way back to the palace, seeing Liu Ju propping his head in his hands with a thoughtful expression on his face, Huo Qubing asked, "You don't think Wuyou and them are making a fuss?" The maid was guarding, but he was the one who brought him out of the palace, so how could he ignore it at all.Not long after noon, he was afraid that Liu Ju, who was used to being quiet, couldn't stand the noise of his cousins ​​and was too embarrassed to say so, so he planned to rescue him from the sea of ​​suffering, but seeing that he was silent, he packed up a few little things and obeyed them. Submissive, chattering around him non-stop.

Liu Ju turned his head, was stunned for a moment, then threw himself on Huo Qubing, whispered into his ear, "I'm kind of envious of Wuyou..." The brothers are about the same age, they play together all day, they couldn't be more intimate , and he...

He is about to have a younger brother, but he knows that he will not treat Mrs. Wang and Li Meiren's son like Wuyou and his wife. They are different.As for why he knew Mrs. Wang and Li Meiren would have a son, Liu Ju couldn't explain it himself.

Huo Qubing slightly raised his eyebrows, and said slowly, "Wuyou is your younger brother, and Wuyou's younger brother is also your younger brother."

"I know." Liu said that he rubbed against Huo Qubing's body. It was because they were both younger brothers that he wanted to figure out what happened in those messy scenes.

Liu Ju never dared to tell anyone that in the past year, he often saw things that ordinary people couldn't see and heard voices that others couldn't hear, and those weird events often happened in the near future. become a fact.

Because most of the omens are what Liu Ju is happy to see, such as when his uncle wins a battle, or when A Weng confers marquis on his younger cousins, so he only needs to verify it, without being distracted.

There were only two times when he saw something he didn't want to see. The last time Mrs. Wang fell down in the Jiaofang Hall, causing Grandma to be scolded by A Weng, but he tried to avoid it. Another time was Wuyou Still carefree, pitifully thrashing about in the water, almost drowning.

Liu Ju was very flustered, and asked without any trace, if there was a big pool in his uncle's house, and if so, he would have someone fill it up right away, and he must not let Wuyouyou really be in danger.

The answer was no, and Liu Ju breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, either the picture he saw was not true, or the incident did not happen at his uncle's house.

My aunt seldom went out, and occasionally she would not bring her children with her when she entered the palace. As long as he didn't make a fuss and let his cousins ​​enter the palace to play with him, that accident could have been completely avoided.

The war in the north came to an end temporarily, and the oppressive atmosphere in the palace was swept away. The emperor and empress married their eldest daughter out of the palace with joy and reluctance.

On the day Princess Wei left the palace, Liu Ju held her tightly by the hem of her skirt and refused to let go, chasing her all the way to the gate of the palace. Finally, Princess Yangshi and Princess Zhuyi teamed up to hug her back.

"Why does my sister want to marry when she grows up?" Liu Ju asked sullenly.

Princess Yangshi and Princess Zhuyi looked at each other in blank dismay, neither knowing how to answer his brother's weird question.

The elder sister's departure made Liu Shi and the two princesses, who had never been separated from her since childhood, quite uncomfortable. They were depressed for several days, and it was not until Mrs. Wang gave birth to the emperor's next son, Liu Hong, that they regained their spirits.

The emperor's heirs are not abundant, and there are only three daughters and one son from the empress under his knees. It looks really thin. I don't see the eldest daughter who just married, and the palace is even more lonely. At this time, the addition of a son is another concubine. What comes out, I am very happy.

Originally, there was only one prince in the palace, even if the emperor neglected the queen, people would not think too much about it.

Now, Mrs. Wang has a son. She is the emperor's favorite concubine at the moment. The second prince is born to be cute and well-behaved.

After all, the emperor has not officially canonized the crown prince.

Three months later, Li Meiren also gave birth to a son, who was named Liu Dan by the emperor.

Maybe it's worthless if you have more sons. Besides, the emperor didn't love Li Meiren much. The rewards Liu Dan received after his birth were far from those of Liu Hong, let alone Liu Shi back then. They are simply incomparable. .

But Li Meiren's luck was very good. When Liu Dan bestowed her name for a hundred days, the emperor stayed in her palace for a night, and she became pregnant again.

When the news reached Mrs. Wang, she hugged Liu Hong for a long while without saying a word.

She had been favored for many years, and finally had a son, but he was born with some frailty, which often made her worry.

Li Meiren is good. The number of favors in a year is less than that of her in a month, but she is pregnant with the second one in just a short time. How can Mrs. Wang feel balanced?

The queen didn't care about it, the emperor didn't even care about Liu Dan, so what if Li Meiren gave birth to another child, if it was Mrs. Wang who became pregnant again, she might still have a headache, if it was Li Meiren, just reward it as usual. What a worry.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the Xiongnu Wanqi entered Daijun, killed the captain Zhu Ying, and captured more than a thousand people.

The emperor was furious when he heard the news, and immediately made a plan to attack again in the spring of the next year.

This time, Huo Qubing finally persuaded Wei Qing to go out with the army.

In the spring of the sixth year of Yuanshuo, in February, General Wei Qing led six generals and one hundred thousand cavalry, with Gongsun Ao, the marquis of Heqi, as the middle general, Sun He, the grand servant, as the general of the left, Wei Wei Su Jian as the general of the right, and Zhao Xin, the marquis of Xi, as the former general. Langzhong ordered Li Guang to be the rear general, and Zuo Neishi Li Ju was the general of the strong crossbow. He went out of Dingxiang for hundreds of miles to attack the Xiongnu, beheaded thousands of levels and returned.

Liu Ju never doubted his uncle's ability to command. He happily sent his uncle and cousin out of Chang'an City, and started running to the proclamation room every day to inquire about news. He wanted to see his uncle and brother Qubing win as soon as possible. battle report.

The emperor didn't think that the eldest son would be able to understand these important military affairs at his current age, but if he was interested in paying attention, he was still willing to explain them to him.

However, the more the emperor talked, the more startled he became. He discovered a bad fact.That is, Liu Ju, who is also the general's nephew, has a world of difference in military talent compared to his cousin.

No matter how he explained it, the little prince decided on one thing, the strong defeated the weak.For the rest, the emperor almost got himself involved, and didn't let his son understand what the war was all about.

"Forget it, I've finished the battle for you, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." In the end, facing his son's ignorant eyes, the emperor could only admit defeat.

Liu Ju didn't understand his father's thoughts at all, he sighed softly, and expressed his deep sympathy for Qubing's elder brother who had already arrived at the front line but was trapped by his uncle in the Chinese army tent and could not fight.

In April, Wei Qingfu sent six generals out of Dingxiang to attack the Xiongnu and beheaded more than ten thousand captives, among which Huo Qubing won two thousand and twenty-eight ranks.

If there is good news, there will naturally be bad news. Su Jian and Zhao Xin led more than [-] cavalry, and they met Shan Yu's main force alone. After fighting for more than a day, the Huns lured Zhao Xin to surrender, and then surrendered the remaining [-] cavalry to Shan Yu. .Su Jian killed all his troops and died alone, returning to the general.

During the battle, Huo Qubing became a marquis in the first battle. Because of his achievements, he won the whole army, so he was named the champion.

The night before Huo Qubing returned to Beijing, Liu Ju had that dream again, the nightmare that woke him up from his sleep on a rainy night two years ago.

This time, he remembered more details, even though many of them were beyond his five-year-old's comprehension.

Why……

Why did Brother Qubing leave him so early?

Why did everyone leave his side?

Wuyou, Eldest Sister, Shan'er, Wuyou, Uncle, Second Sister, Third Sister, Husband's Son, Zong'er, Jin'er, Yao'er...

Liu Ju stroked his forehead with a headache, desperately telling himself not to think about it, but he couldn't.

Some of those people in the dream were familiar to him, and some were unfamiliar to him, but no matter who they were, their departure would make his heart ache.

Why……

Why would Aon not believe him?

The last time he was awakened from a nightmare, Liu Ju's parents were beside him, so he could cry as much as he wanted in their arms.

And this time...

He didn't want his mother to worry about him, let alone see his father, at least not now.

Liu Ju tossed and turned on the couch for half the night without being able to sleep, and when he woke up the next day his face was snow-white, his eyes were black and blue, and he looked very pitiful.

Seeing her son like this, the queen was also very worried, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Ju'er? What's the matter?" She said, and she was going to send the maid to the medical officer.

Liu Ju hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Mother, I'm fine, I...I just want to get sick brother." He couldn't tell what happened in his dream, and he couldn't find any other reasonable explanations in his desperation, so he could only speak casually. Breaking off a reason that is not very plausible.

Before the words fell, Princess Zhuyi burst out laughing.She glanced at Liu Ju with a smile, then turned to look at Princess Yangshi.Princess Yangshi was fine at first, but her face was covered with scarlet color by her younger sister's meaningful eyes.

"Mum, I'll go see Brother Qubing first, and I'll be with you when I come back." Thinking of that terrible nightmare, Liu Ju's dependence on his mother was obviously deeper than before.

Seeing that her son is still in good spirits and there is no serious problem, the queen said softly: "Go and come back quickly, be careful on the road.

Liu Ju nodded vigorously, and ran to Chengming Hall, where the emperor was going to award meritorious officials.
