The big man has a living father

Chapter 100: The Origin of the Little White Face (23 words)

Seeing Liu Che running away, Huo Hai was confused.

After Liu Che ran away, Cao Xiang, who was following behind him, came up and said, "Brother Huo."

Huo Hai looked at Cao Xiang: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Cao Xiang then explained, "It's your highness' birthday tomorrow. His Majesty asked you what you wanted, and you said you didn't want to study tomorrow, and wanted to spend a day with you and the princess."

In fact, Liu Che had agreed to this matter, and when he thought about Huo Hai having to stay with Princess Wei Chang for a whole day tomorrow, he felt a headache, so he ran away without saying anything.

But he ran away with a box of tissues, it was hard not to think that he had a stomachache.

Huo Hai laughed and patted Liu Ju on the shoulder: "Your Highness is very kind."

Huo Hai was very satisfied with Liu Ju. He even remembered to bring his sister along when he went to play with him.

Huo Hai looked at the sky outside and said, "Then let's go to the princess's mansion."

In the carriage, Liu Ju leaned on the window and looked at the windmill hanging under the eaves of the carriage.

After getting on the wrong carriage last time, Huo Hai thought about adding a license plate to the carriage, but after thinking about it, he decided that this was not a feasible idea.

Because many people who can afford the new luxury carriages want to keep their whereabouts secret.

These people certainly don't want all their cars to have license plates so that people can always recognize who they are.

Therefore, the license plate issue can only be implemented after there are more cars.

So Huo Hai hung an iron windmill on his car. Huo Hai even thought about connecting a generator to the windmill and lighting a lamp in the car.

Liu Ju was an avid windmill enthusiast. He liked any windmill, so he lay on the window to look at the windmills.

Soon, the car was on Chang'an Avenue.

Cao Xiang looked at the road from the window on the inside of the carriage and was delighted: "After our road is built, countless wealth will flow along this road!"

"This block of houses will be the Cao family's largest asset in the future."

Huo Hai looked out the window and said, "Wow, you are really generous. Others build mud houses, but only use cement and bricks for the facades. Your house is made of bricks and cement."

Cao Xiang chuckled: "That's right, they are poor and can only keep up appearances. We can't lose face for our parents."

Huo Hai laughed out loud.

The more bricks and cement they used to build the house, the more money Huo Hai made.

As the two were watching, the road ahead was blocked.

Many carriages came sideways in a group.

It just blocked the road.

The other party blocked the road horizontally, and Huo Hai's car slowly slowed down.

Cao Xiang frowned: "Who is so arrogant?"

Looking over there, Cao Xiang quickly understood: "Oh, it turns out to be this bastard."

Huo Hai couldn't tell: "Who is it?"

Cao Xiang: "Dong Yan."

When he heard the name, Huo Hai didn't react.

Cao Xiang: "It's the one with Empress Dou."

The so-called Empress Dou was the eldest daughter of Emperor Wen, the sister of Emperor Jing, the aunt and mother-in-law of Emperor Wu, the mother of the deposed Empress Chen Ajiao, and Princess Guantao Liu Piao.

Although Chen Ajiao had been deposed long ago, it did not affect the fact that Princess Guantao was still a representative of the top nobles.

This Dong Yan was the lover of Princess Guantao.

He is the ancestor of the nobles' male concubines.

You know, the word "嫖" means vigorous. How did it come to have only that meaning later?

Although the meaning of this word was completely fixed in the Ming Dynasty, literati liked to play with the allusion and deliberately found an allusion to replace the word "僄" with "嫖".

The story of the green hat also comes from Empress Dou.

Even though Dong Yan is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old now, you should know that he was already Empress Dou's lover when he was eighteen years old.

It was because of him that Changmen Garden was changed to Changmen Palace. It was also because of this that Chen Ajiao was later deposed and lived in Changmen Palace.

But this Dong Yan is not just that simple.

After becoming Empress Dou's lover, he left behind the story of being the master, because Dong Yan did not take the lead in receiving Emperor Wu.

He had no official position, and Liu Che called him "Master".

After that, Liu Che favored Dong Yan very much, because on the one hand, Han Yan had died at that time and Emperor Wu had no one to play with, and on the other hand, Dong Yan really knew how to have fun.

Because he was favored by Emperor Wu, nobles from many vassal states liked to play with Dong Yan.

Therefore, Dong Yan’s arrogance is no less than Han Yan’s in the past.

Having said that, Han Yan was arrogant, and he had Queen Wang to discipline him. Now Queen Wang is gone, so Dong Yan is really arrogant.

Traveling with such a big fanfare is the result of his restraint.

In recent years, Dongfang Shuo often wrote letters to criticize Empress Dowager Dou for her corruption, frivolity and immorality, and called people like Dong Yan villains, and advised Emperor Liu Che not to play with Dong Yan.

In recent years, Liu Che rarely summoned Dong Yan to play together, and Dong Yan was on the verge of falling out of favor.

All the nobles in Chang'an City would avoid Dong Yan when they saw him.

It’s not that I’m afraid, but it’s not worth it to offend him.

Think about it, Empress Dou is already old and has nothing to pursue. Her political career has come to an end because of Chen Ajiao. Here is an old woman who has nothing to do but is extremely powerful. If you offend her lover, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

On the other hand, although Liu Che rarely looked for Dong Yan to play, Dong Yan had so many tricks. What if he invents a new game or something tomorrow and is called over to play again?
Therefore, most nobles had to take a detour when they saw Dong Yan.

Even at this moment, the car was stuck on the road, and the people on the other side did not move after seeing the car, and had no intention of giving way at all.

Unfortunately, Chang'an City is so big, and there are only four families whose status is higher than that of Princess Guantao.

One family is Princess Wei, one is Princess Pingyang, one is Wei, and one is Huo. Of these four families, the only one that has reason to conflict with Dong Yan is Huo Hai.

The lover of the previous princess?
Give you face!

This kind of immoral behavior must be stopped and dealt with as soon as it occurs!
Moreover, there have been undercurrents in Chang'an recently, and Huo Hai wants to use this incident to suppress the uncontrollable restlessness of some people.

Huo Hai opened the door, walked out, stood at the front desk of the carriage, and said in a loud voice: "I heard there's a pretty boy over there? Come out and meet him."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the people in the carriages that followed Dong Yan showed their heads.

Whose general is this, so brave?
Huo Hai continued: "What about Dong Yan? He is the mistress of Empress Dou. Is he too embarrassed to be seen in public? Is he too afraid to stand in the front?"

In the main carriage, Dong Yan lifted the curtain.

To be honest, Dong Yan is not as handsome as Huo Hai, but this guy is a bit feminine. It seems that a strong person like Empress Dou likes women who are cozy and cuddly.

Dong Yan poked his head out and saw Huo Hai. He recognized who Huo Hai was and said in a deep voice, "Huo Hai, there is no need to speak ill of each other, right?"

Huo Hai laughed loudly: "Isn't there anything I said that is not true? How can it be considered bad words? Are you the pretty boy lover kept by Empress Dou?"

When the people in the other carriages saw that the Huo family and Dong Yan had a conflict, they kept silent and just watched secretly.

Dong Yan was also a little annoyed by Huo Hai's words.

If he had met Wei Qing or Huo Qubing, Dong Yan would have definitely avoided them, but he was facing the second son of the Huo family. Should he give way?
Dong Yan, who had been arrogant for eight years, had no such intention, but said in a deep voice: "Huo Hai, who is Dong Mou, and does it have anything to do with you?"

Huo Hai bowed to the sky and said, "Of course it matters! Who in Chang'an doesn't know that I, Huo Hai, am a follower of Confucius and respect Confucianism? When I see something as morally corrupt as you, I will scold you!"

"That's so mean."

Dong Yan heard Huo Hai's curse, so he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "I don't know whether the people in Chang'an know whether you are a follower of Confucius."

"I knew it. Kong Lao Er, you Huo Lao Er, and your brother were all born out of wedlock. How dare you scold me?"

Okay, okay, is this the origin of the eldest brother not talking about the second brother?
All the nobles in the carriages were watching the show.

But he saw Huo Hai directly pull the sword from the guard and throw it at Dong Yan!

All the nobles rushed out of the car, looking terrified.

After the sword flew out, it did not hit Dong Yan, but stabbed into the carriage.

Huo Hai sighed.

What a pity, Dong Yan just dared to talk about Confucius and Huo Qubing. If Huo Hai had nailed him to death with his flying sword, nothing would have happened. Then, not only Liu Che would have covered up for him, but many people in the court would have come out to cover up for him.

The problem is, it didn't hit the target.

What a pity.

Dong Yan was originally delicate and frail, and when he saw the sword coming, he was frightened to death.

He crouched at the front desk of the carriage and waited for seven or eight seconds before looking up. He saw the sword stuck in the door frame of the carriage, and his coachman had already slipped under the carriage and lay down.

Dong Yan looked up in anger and annoyance, and found that a large number of his followers were looking at him.

Dong Yan became even angrier. He stood up, grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and pulled the sword out fiercely.

Then she jumped off the carriage, lifted her skirt, and walked quickly towards Huo Hai's car.

Huo Hai was not afraid at all. He straightened his back and watched Dong Yan walking towards him quickly.

At this time, the carriage door opened again, and Cao Xiang walked out with his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, staring closely at the aggressive Dong Yan.

And with his other hand, he was holding Liu Ju.

After Liu Ju appeared, Dong Yan's footsteps came to an abrupt stop.

Although he had never dealt with Cao Xiang, he knew what kind of person Cao Xiang was. Cao Xiang was a person with a brain as small as a walnut. If he dared to move forward, Cao Xiang would definitely draw his sword and kill him.

Moreover, his death would be in vain, and no one would hold Cao Xiang, the Marquis of Wanhu, accountable for his sake.

Moreover, Cao Xiang is the prince's guard, so he might even be rewarded.

You should know that Li Guang’s son was in a similar situation when he chased and hacked Han Yan, and he was also rewarded.

But, he has walked here with the sword in hand, and he has only one step left to go.

How to do?
The atmosphere was awkward and deadlocked.

However, Dong Yan was able to gain the favor of Dou Taizhu and Liu Che for so many years, and it was no joke. He was very quick-witted. He changed from holding the sword in his right hand to holding the sword with both hands, and said respectfully: "Master Huo, it is better not to throw the sword around."

Huo Hai sneered, grabbed the sword and threw it to Xiang Xu, then said loudly: "Mr. Dong, let's be frank. I, Huo Hai, hate people like you who are morally corrupt and disrupt social order. One day I will kill you."

The faces of the nobles at the scene changed.

You know, even if it's a flying sword, there is an explanation if you insist.

But if you say with all your strength that you want to kill me, then the nature of the matter changes!
Dong Yan's face turned cold. He had already shown his grace and backed down a step, but he didn't expect that the boy from the Huo family would keep chattering.

Cao Xiang was giggling beside him.

Liu Ju whispered: "Who is this person?"

Cao Xiang: "A commoner."

These three words hurt Dong Yan deeply.

Dong Yan truly lived up to the saying "clinging to the powerful and attaching himself to the phoenix", but compared with the real nobles of that era, he was still worthless.

In front of the great nobles, Dong Yan was just a high-level troublemaker and a high-level clown.

First, he is not an official, and second, he does not have a title.

At this time, Huo Hai looked around at everyone.

This Dong Yan's influence is really bad.

You know, before Empress Dou's husband died, Dong Yan was already Empress Dou's lover.

Didn't avoid people at all.
