Reborn Prince Liu Ju

Liu Ju seemed to understand what Huo Qubing said. He faintly felt that it made sense, but when he thought about it carefully, he was a little confused. But he knew that his cousin must be doing it for his own good, so he nodded slightly. .

Seeing him frowning and biting his lower lip, as if he was thinking about what he just said, Huo Qubing asked: "Ji'er, have you seen His Majesty asking about the details of every battle?"

Liu Ju shook his head subconsciously. How could Ah Weng ask those trivial things? Only he would pester his uncle and cousin to tell stories about beating the Huns. The sisters were even more exaggerated. They even asked the Hun women what kind of clothes they wore. Question, where would uncle and cousin pay attention.

Before Liu Ju could speak, Huo Qubing continued: "Your Majesty will not intervene, what he wants is the final result." Liu Ju is the crown prince and the future emperor, he cannot be ignorant of military affairs, But he doesn't need to know everything.

Liu Ju blinked, his dark eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said with a smile, "Brother Qubing, I understand."

After that day, the number of Liu Ju's trips to the army decreased, and more often, he would go to the proclamation room to accompany the emperor in handling political affairs.

The eldest son was willing to be close to him, and the emperor was very satisfied.After all, Liu Ju is the crown prince. Although the teachers he arranged for him are all well-educated, there are some things that the teachers cannot teach him, and he can only comprehend them by himself.

Xu Shi was frightened by Huo Qubing's three battles and three victories in Hexi. The Huns in the third year of Yuanshou were very peaceful and did not provoke any wars.

The emperor was not satisfied with this kind of security. He was actively planning a war. He wanted to cross the desert and fight a decisive battle with the Huns.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not understand the emperor's ambitions. In their view, the Huns had lost the lands of Henan and Hexi successively, retreated to the north of the desert, and could no longer pose a great threat to the Han.

Under such circumstances, it is a bit unwise and incomprehensible for the emperor to continue to fight the Huns instead of thinking about how to fill up the treasury that was emptied due to repeated wars.

Liu Ju is one of the people who don't understand, but he will no longer say to the emperor bluntly like the naive little prince in the dream: "Ah Weng, let's stop fighting, okay?"

Because he clearly knew that that war was inevitable, but fortunately, the result of that war was satisfactory.From then on, there was no royal court in Monan.

However, at this moment, the emperor's face was livid as he looked at the papers presented by the general and the Da Nong Ling respectively.

Liu Ju was originally writing his own homework. He stopped writing for a while, glanced at the emperor, then picked up the pen again and continued writing. After a short time, he reverted to his old ways, stopped the pen again, and carefully brushed at the emperor's face. go.

Liu Ju felt that his movements were very careful and would not be noticed, but he didn't know that the emperor had seen his little movements a long time ago. He just wanted to see when he could not help but speak, so he kept ignoring him.

I don't want Liu Zheng to peek at it from time to time, but he refuses to say a word.Finally, the emperor couldn't stand it anymore, and said sharply, "Ji'er, don't be half-hearted about everything. If you are like this in the announcement room, wouldn't you be even more presumptuous in front of the teacher?"

Liu Ju didn't expect that he would be caught straight by the emperor and accused of not being serious about his studies. He quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Ah Weng, I know I was wrong. But I usually don't lose my mind in class, really."

"Then why are you so distracted today?" the emperor asked unhurriedly.Of course he knew that the prince usually worked very hard, otherwise his tone of questioning would not be so relaxed.

Liu Ju raised his eyes and saw that the emperor's face seemed to be looking better than before. Fang plucked up his courage and asked, "Ah Weng, are you angry with Uncle? What did he do to make you unhappy?"

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed and said, "Why does Juer think so?"

"Hmm..." Liu Ju hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Ah Weng was reading the notebook written by my uncle for a long time..."

The emperor's eyes suddenly became deep and incomprehensible. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his son's head, but did not speak for a while.

Liu Ju took a nervous breath and said nervously, "Ah Weng, did I ask the wrong question?" Although the emperor agreed to let him stay in the proclamation room, he never said that he could speak freely. If it wasn't for the emperor's expression today It was so ugly that he wouldn't take a second look.

"Ji'er, come and take a look at the notes written by your uncle." The emperor was not angry, but handed the bamboo slips to his son.

Liu Ju took the bamboo slips, and instead of flipping through them immediately, he raised his face and asked, "Can I really read it?" In the past, when the emperor was in a good mood, he would take the initiative to tell him about the affairs of court, but what was the memorial? Never showed him.

"I gave it to you, why not?" What the emperor needs to worry about is whether the prince can understand the general's notes.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Ju read the two columns of words, he encountered some he didn't know, and there were also some people he knew but didn't understand. Finally, under the emperor's guidance, he read the scriptures with some guesswork.

Seeing his son put down the bamboo slips, the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you finished reading? Do you understand?"

Liu Ju nodded slightly: "Is this what the army needs for the expedition to Mobei?" His tone was not very precise.

"Look at this again." The emperor said and gave the copy of the Da Nong Order to his son.

Liu Ju read it quickly this time, and didn't ask the emperor any words he didn't know, and said directly: "The Da Nong Order said that the treasury has no money?" Strange.

In this way, Liu Ju somewhat understood why the emperor was so angry, because the treasury had no money to support his expedition plan.

So he asked: "Ah, the Huns have already retreated to Mobei, can they still pose a threat to us?" This is also the reason why many people oppose fighting across the desert. , a slight mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The emperor did not answer his son's question directly, but asked instead: "Ji'er, do you know what kind of place Mobei is?"

Liu Ju thought for a while, then murmured: "My son heard that Mobei is a place of bitter cold, where water and grass are not abundant, and people and animals are not thriving..."

"Yes, water and grass are not plentiful, and people and animals are not prosperous." The emperor repeated his son's words, and then said solemnly: "The Huns fled far away, and fled to the barren land of Mobei, not to take root, but to temporarily avoid the Han army. Sharpen, recuperate, develop and grow, and plan to go south to plunder in the future."

"So Ah Weng wants to deal a fatal blow to the Huns before they recover?" Although it was a questioning sentence, Liu Ju's tone was very certain.

The emperor nodded approvingly: "Ji'er, you are right, you want to deal a fatal blow to the Huns, and it will be done in one battle."

Liu Ju felt ashamed and smiled embarrassedly.If he didn't know that the decisive battle in Mobei will take place next year, how could he say this.

Wars must be fought, lack of money is no reason, Dongguo Xianyang, Kong Jin, Sang Hongyang and others were ordered by the emperor to go around, and the daily topic of the inner court was to discuss various ways to raise money.

Liu Ju was not interested in the preparations for the war. The only thing he was worried about was Li Guang who would follow Wei Qing to the battle.

This old general, who could not be named a marquis throughout his life, lost his way again in the last battle of his life, and failed to participate in the crucial decisive battle in Mobei. Out of shame, he apologized with death.

After Li Guang's death, his son Li Gan blamed his death on the general Wei Qing, and because of this, he went to the Marquis of Changping, and even stabbed the defenseless Wei Qing with a dagger.

When Huo Qubing learned of this, he blatantly shot and killed Li Gan in Shanglinyuan.The emperor was very angry when he heard the news, so he expelled Huo Qubing to Shuofang.The emperor's original intention was not to really snub Champion Hou, but just wanted him to go to the border to hang out and avoid the limelight for the time being.

After all, Li Gan is the Marquis of Guannei who was proclaimed by the emperor, and he made meritorious service with Huo Qubing in the Battle of Mobei.

If it was someone else who dared to openly shoot and kill the court general, the emperor would immediately end him.That is to say, that person is Huo Qubing, so the emperor will try his best to conceal it for him, and intends to entrust him with important tasks after the limelight has passed.

However, no one expected that Huo Qubing went to Shuofang and never came back.

Although the things in the dream haven't happened yet, Liu Ju will break out in cold sweat just thinking about that scene.

No, he had to do something, he couldn't just watch the tragedy in his dream come true.

Liu Ju's first thought was to prevent Li Guang from marching.If he didn't go out on the expedition, he wouldn't get lost, let alone commit suicide, and Li Gan wouldn't bother his uncle because of it.If Li dared not do anything to hurt his uncle, Qubing's elder brother would naturally not kill him, so he would not go to Shuofang.

As for whether Huo Qubing's death was directly related to Shuofang, Liu Ju didn't dare to think deeply.

But how can we persuade Ah Weng to give up Li Guang? Liu Ju is stumped by the question he asked.
