121 Chapter 121
◎People who watch the fun.◎
The Emperor, moved by his son, betrayed Marquis Guanjun without hesitation. Why did he suddenly come to comfort his son? Why was Huo Guang sent here to run with Liu Ju? The source of the problem lies with Marquis Guanjun!
If Huo Qubing were present, he would definitely cry out in injustice. Who was it that first said that? Your Majesty, how can you turn the tables?
But the Marquis of Guanjun was not present, so His Majesty the Emperor could put all the blame on the Marquis of Guanjun, who was not innocent but was indeed passive, without any psychological burden.
Liu Ju didn't expect that he, the onlooker, would end up being the one being watched.
When did my cousin show such an interest in entertaining children? He even dragged his own brother into the fun!
It’s horrible! Champion Hou is horrible!
Liu Ju was furious and wanted to go talk to his cousin immediately, but the Emperor said, "Your cousin is going to the army today. He has probably left by now and will not be back for two or three days."
Liu Ju folded his arms across his chest and snorted.
Liu Che suggested, "Why don't you vent your anger by bullying Huo Guang?"
Liu Ju: “…”
Dad, he is your trusted minister!
Although I'm trying my best not to give him this opportunity in this life, but! A minister as talented as Huo Guang must be kept in useful. Even if he's useless, your son won't vent his anger on innocent people.
Liu Ju said, "It's none of his business. Forget it, Grandfather. I've made up my mind. When you hunt bear paws for me, I absolutely won't share them with my cousin!"
Liu Che laughed and said, "Hahaha, fine, let's eat. We can also invite your uncle to eat with us, and let your cousin just watch!"
Liu Ju nodded heavily.
——At this time, Marquis Guanjun still didn’t know that he had been judged by the Crown Prince to have lost the opportunity to eat the Emperor’s invisible bear paw.
——This day was truly an injustice upon injustice for Huo Qubing.
In the evening, Huo Guang, unaware that his brother had been wronged, came to Liu Ju with a sad face, but was met with sympathetic eyes from the prince.
Huo Guang: “???”
What Liu Ju was thinking was that his cousin had recently become a father and a brother, which was why he had developed an interest in amusing children. In the future, Huo Guang and little Peng Zu would have to "suffer".
Then, Huo Guang found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly became kind and amiable, and when he looked at him, he seemed like an elderly and kind elder.
Judging from his elder brother, he should be of the same generation as the prince, and judging from his age, he is older.
So, the prince’s look…what does he mean?
Huo Guang was puzzled and felt that the prince seemed a little abnormal.
Three days later, Huo Qubing returned to Ganquan Palace. After hearing what his brother said, he was confused.
"Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems a little strange."
Huo Qubing was found by the prince with such doubts. However, the prince frowned as soon as he saw him, crossed his arms and snorted.
Huo Qubing: "..."
"Ru'er?" Realizing it was just a child throwing a tantrum, Marquis Guanjun thought back to what happened before he left Ganquan Palace and immediately adopted a conciliatory policy. "What's going on?"
Liu Ju really spoke up: "Cousin, why did you tell A Weng that I care about A Weng and whether he cares about me the most?"
This was a bit confusing, but Huo Qubing understood it. He frowned and said, "You know? That's what happened..."
He hadn't finished speaking yet, but Liu Ju thought he was admitting it, so he said, "Cousin, that's clearly not what I meant, you know."
Huo Qubing explained in a gentle voice, "I also said this to His Majesty, but His Majesty disagreed. He said..." He thought for a moment and repeated, "This child is sometimes too sensible."
Liu Ju: “…”
Liu Ju immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, cousin, I misunderstood you." As he spoke, he bowed solemnly.
Huo Qubing dodged and did not accept his greeting. He said calmly, "You don't have to be like this. You are fine. It's just a child's temper. You were like this when you were little."
Liu Ju was stunned for a moment and asked, "Was I unreasonable when I was a child?"
Huo Qubing thought for a moment and said, "It's not that unreasonable. You didn't cause any trouble in front of His Majesty or the Empress. You were just angry on your own, just like now. I'll say a few words and you'll be fine."
Then I'm pretty easy to coax. Liu Ju thought so at first, and then felt embarrassed. No wonder his cousin didn't like to pay attention to children. They were too difficult to deal with. He didn't even want to pay attention to his own childhood.
"I'm sorry, cousin." Liu Ju said sincerely again, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "It's quite strange. I've had quite a few children cause me trouble, but you're the first one to apologize."
Liu Ju smiled and said, "Then...cousin, have you forgiven me?"
Huo Qubing rubbed his head and said, "Well, I forgive you."
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Ju'er, what did His Majesty say?"
Liu Ju didn't hide it from him and repeated his father's corny and blame-shifting words, then said, "Aung just loves to let his imagination run wild."
I didn't expect there would be such a development. The champion Hou nodded contentedly after reaping a lot of rewards.
But his father did turn the tables, and Liu Ju said, "Wait until the old man makes the bear paws, and then we eat them, and let him watch."
Huo Qubing asked in confusion, "What bear paw?"
Liu Ju then told Huo Qubing about his father's plan to hunt bears. However, Huo Qubing said, "Then I will order people to drive some bears to the place where Your Majesty is hunting."
Liu Ju: “…”
Is this considered cheating? Although the bear is man-made, hunting is a real skill.
…
Soon, the Crown Prince sought out the Emperor for a confrontation. Marquis Guanjun certainly would not get involved in the quarrel between the royal father and his son. He took his younger brother home to amuse his son.
His Majesty the Emperor looked innocent: "But, Ju'er, you didn't deny it either."
Liu Ju thought about it, didn’t he?
Oh, he was so moved by his father at that time that he... neglected to explain it clearly.
Hmm...so it's my fault in the end?
Liu Ju reflected for a moment and decided that the root of his feelings was his father doting on his son too much. Hmm? Oh.
Then my father really loves me.
Liu Ju felt that this could not be denied, my father really loves me now.
He felt a little melancholy again, but fortunately Liu Ju was already accustomed to this sudden emotion. Since the things in his previous life had happened, they would definitely leave a heavy mark in his heart.
Liu Ju didn't let any unnecessary emotion show. He just waved his hand with a generous look and said with a smile: "Alright, alright, let's just let it go! Let's not talk about it anymore."
Liu Che tapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Who on earth has been thinking about it all the time? He kept bringing it up. He had a quarrel with your cousin and now comes looking for me."
Throwing… throwing a tantrum? Liu Ju was shocked. Could this be the explanation for his behavior?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly felt humiliated and his image was ruined, and he wanted to reopen it again.
My horoscope may not be compatible with Huo Guang. Liu Ju made an arbitrary conclusion, considering that both incidents were related to Huo Guang.
However, this did not prevent Liu Ju from running with Huo Guang every day. If their horoscopes were not compatible, then they might as well run together.
Leisurely days always pass quickly. When the summer vacation life in Ganquan Palace ended, Liu Ju felt a little regretful, but when he thought that he could come again next year, he cheered up again.
The Emperor's next stop was Shanglin Garden. His purpose was of course to hunt bears. And because they had made preparations in advance, Liu Che and Marquis Changping and others successfully hunted the bear.
Huo Qubing went hunting alone with his men and also killed a bear. He presented the bear's paw to His Majesty.
After the bear paws were processed, they were served on the table the next day, and the Crown Prince, Marquis Changping and Marquis Guanjun all received rewards from His Majesty the Emperor.
It was a little chilly in early autumn, and it was very appropriate to sit around the campfire. Some of his subordinates surrounded Huo Qubing. They were talking, and Huo Qubing said nothing, but he was the center of these people.
Huo Guang was entrusted to the crown prince by Huo Qubing, so he also got the bear paw from the crown prince. This was a reward from His Majesty the Emperor, and he did not dare to accept it at first.
Liu Ju said with a smile: "For your brother's sake, you can eat this bear paw... Don't worry, my grandfather doesn't care about such a small matter."
Huo Guang almost laughed along, but he quickly controlled himself and thanked the prince.
At this moment, Liu Ju glanced at the lively atmosphere over at Huo Qubing's place, went over to say something to his father, and then came back to Huo Guang and said, "Come on, follow me to go play with your brother."
When Liu Ju arrived, everyone stood up and saluted. He smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, everyone. Please take a seat."
"Please sit down, cousin." Liu Ju said to Huo Qubing alone.
Seeing that the prince was so easy-going, everyone was no longer restrained. As Huo Qubing took his seat, they all sat on the ground as they had done before.
Of course, Huo Qubing did not sit on the ground. When it came to being particular, young General Huo was still very particular.
Liu Ju asked everyone about the military affairs with a smile. Before anyone else could speak, Huo Qubing started talking first. He did not talk about interesting things, but only talked about things like how long it took to march thousands of miles without eating, sleeping or drinking water, and how the battle situation was so urgent that they could not stop their horses even to drink water.
Everyone was afraid of scaring the prince, so they looked over hurriedly, only to see that the prince was listening very attentively.
Watching this from afar, Liu Che smiled at Wei Qing and said, "Yes, from now on, Qubing will assist Ju'er. Zhongqing, where is Wei Kang? Bring him into the palace for me to see."
Wei Qing shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, his three brothers are mediocre in talent and cannot be of great use."
Liu Che disagreed, saying, "With a father like you, how bad can a son be? In my opinion, you are just too picky."
Wei Qing smiled and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I will bring them to see you another day. I just hope they don't make Your Majesty angry, which will be a favor to them."
After hearing this, Liu Che's expectations for the three Wei brothers dropped to the lowest point. He added, "Ordinary children have ordinary fortunes. After all, you have earned this family fortune for them. However, Zhongqing, you are not in a hurry. I was very anxious when my son was young for two years."
"How dare I compare myself to Your Majesty?" Wei Qing bowed slightly in respect. "If the three of them are incompetent and can't protect this family business, I can do nothing about it. After all, they are better than I was in my time, and I think that's enough."
Liu Che always knew that Wei Qing was not interested in power or money, and was a very open-minded person, but his Majesty the Emperor was still quite shocked by his open-mindedness.
Even though it's not the country, but the family business... everyone hopes that their descendants will protect it and make it even more glorious, right?
His Majesty the Emperor once again looked at the general with new eyes. People say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, but how many people can really do that?
There are many lessons from history. No one's descendants will always be successful, but everyone hopes that their family will be the exception.
