1. The red candle that burned out on the wedding night set off a series of events at the Huo residence. Can Liu Xianze, with her astonishing words and actions, strange splitting fabric, and all, pierce through the layers of mystery and uncover the truth?
2. Young Master Huo is unquestionably the male lead. The whole story unfolds around him.
3. There are two storylines: Huo Qubing's is full of sweeping drama, and his pairing is with Princess Wei; the female lead Liu Xianze's is lighthearted suspense, with a slow-blooming romance.
4. The major events and characters' ages follow history, but the princesses' marriages have been changed. Please note!
5. This story has none of the following: romances with an age gap, a runaway Xiongnu wolf girl, or an overbearing Cavalry General falling for a maid.
The novel is divided into two volumes. The first tells Huo Qubing's story and is complete, so you can read it without worry. The second covers the following thirty years of Emperor Wu of Han's reign. I'll update it when I have time. Historical fact-checking is welcome. If there are updates lately, it's because I'm revising the text.
Historical references, in order of importance: "Records of the Grand Historian", "Book of Han", "Zizhi Tongjian", "The Art of War", "Tales of Emperor Wu of Han", and anecdotes from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
The final chapter has been greatly expanded.
Theme: A friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water
If life is just like the first time we met, why is the autumn wind so sad and painted on the fan? The heroine feels so sorry for the prince... The counselor
I really can't resist the love of my childhood sweetheart. Are you interested in writing a separate novel about Wei Chang and Xiao Huo?
Neither the Historical Records of Hanshu nor other historical materials say that Madam Gou Yi was involved in witchcraft. You also didn't mention Madam Gou Yi in the historical materials below where the author has something to say, right? Since the author talks about studying history, does he think it is a glorious thing to slander historical figures? The author still thinks that a 70-year-old man who has been in power for 54 years, Wei Zifu who has been the queen for 38 years, and a prince who has been a prince for more than 30 years cannot play the role of a 20-year-old girl. If this is the logic, then I can only prove that the old man, the queen, and the prince are too useless. Moreover, Mrs. Gou Yi, whom the author slandered, also stamped it in the historical records as "when the storms raise dust, the people are sentimental", and the people sympathized with her. Mrs. Gou Yi has also been the object of sympathy for people throughout the ages, and she is not the person who deserves what the author said.
I like this article. I am a fan of Huo and have always been since I read Historical Records. Unfortunately, Sima Qian recorded too little about Xiao Huo. In the future, many stories will either travel through time or give him a wolf girl and a Hun princess. Is this possible?
I read it in two days. This is probably the character creation that most resembles the Cavalry General. He is a man who cares about the world. How can he have so much love and affection?
Ahhhh! Blow this article up!!! There is such a normal Xiao Huo! What are the others? They are either love brains or cheating to death. How can they not look like a young general!
Looking at Li Yuan's concubines, many of them actually had sons. Why did they choose Li Jiancheng? In fact, the history books also gave the reason. It was that their friendship with Li Jiancheng would benefit their sons once Li Jiancheng succeeded him. So no matter how stupid you are, you know that the emperor is old and has an adult son, and smart people know to make friends with adults to make plans for your future. At that time, Emperor Wu had three adult sons. Why do you think it was a four-year-old boy who wanted to take over? Emperor Wu finally skipped Li Ji's two adult princes to raise a younger son, which was unreasonable. How could a normal person think of it? Just because Gou Yi's son became the emperor in the end, she must have been involved in witchcraft. This is not the case in criminal trials.
After reading it, I really liked it and was very impressed. I specially registered an account to write a long review, maybe add a plot to the plot in the second volume, or add a sequel to the first volume? Some people always say that the plotting in online novels is childish. Why? Because plotting in history is not a castle in the air. A real political struggle requires a clear power structure, land, taxation, population, official selection, and differences between the two factions. In many novels about court, the two factions have no political demands at all and just fight back and forth just for fun. There is also the inexplicable balance between the harem and the court. The emperor makes his ministers and families feel at ease by sleeping with more concubines. If a wealthy family's influence in the army declines, why marry their daughter? What and what. I have no idea how ancient China worked. However, the extra chapter about the Qingzhou case in the first volume and the entire second volume present a very clear line of intrigue. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resorted to military warfare in his later years -> the country could not bear it, and the people lived in poverty -> millions of refugees in Guanzhong fled for famine, and there was a potential civil unrest -> the prince supervised the country, and was appointed by the prince to deal with the matter -> there was no surplus food in the local area, only military rations that had to be turned over to the national treasury for foreign wars -> military food was used to relieve the people, and the land where the refugees originated was reclaimed and distributed, so that the refugees wanted to return Homeland -> Completely destroy the foundation of the refugees and quell the civil unrest -> The prince's policy of benevolence to the people is inconsistent with the emperor's national policy of strictly gaining people's power -> The villains talk about the prince to establish prestige for himself, the prince is jealous, the emperor and the prince are separated -> The non-prince faction thinks it is profitable, and it is possible to succeed by supporting others, and they follow the dragon's merit -> The prince's line and the non-prince line are fighting fiercely. Take the Qingzhou Case as an example, a Mary Sue novel in which the heroine is so charming that the rebel leader is impressed on the spot, and the sturdy man who harnesses the horse becomes the number one male. On a slightly better note, the refugee leader who kidnapped the wife of the rebel leader and threatened him with murder without blinking an eye turned out to be a deeply affectionate person who compromised, just like the recently popular TV series about Zhang Niangniang. With a little bit of cunning, he opened a warehouse to help the people. After a few words of rhetoric, the rebel leader was convinced. Next, millions of refugees gather in the small city where the protagonist lives. How to disperse them? What did the protagonist of the novel do? He allocated land to the main places of origin of the refugees and along the way, telling them that they could only get it when they returned to their places of origin, and at the same time providing disaster relief. The peasants' demand was land. As a result, everyone rushed back and the rebel army collapsed. In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the refugees in the south used this method to calm down. As a student of the history department of the Tang and Song Dynasties, this passage is quite familiar, it is a classic of Zhenguan political figures, hahahahaha. When the heroine solves the problem, her gender is not emphasized, and there is only the tact of a mature politician. I like it here. Speaking of which, she was so delicate when she was a girl. I felt pity for her, but now she looks dignified.
Will Li Guangli use himself to prove the truth to Emperor Wu? Not every brother-in-law is handy
... I forgot, I forgot that I am a man with both sons and daughters.
