In the fourth year of Zhenghe, autumn, August, Xinyou, and the sun was eclipsed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is not as good as a hook, in the second degree of hyperactivity. Feeding food from the northwest, sunset and sunset.
Jingfang's "Yi Chuan" said: "'The woman is chaste, the moon is long, the gentleman is strong, and the gentleman is fierce. 'The king of words is weak and the woman is strong, and if it is multiplied by yin, the moon will come out together. The obscure and the moon see the west is called the 朓, the moon and the moon see the east is called the 滝, the Hou Wang Qisu, and the Hou Wang Qishu. ”
What is the way of heaven, what is the will of heaven?
No one has ever said clearly, but when one looks back on it in hindsight, one will always tremble at the coincidence, wondering if there really is some kind of higher consciousness that is always concerned about everything in the world.
The last day of August ends in a strange celestial phenomenon, and so does the autumn of the fourth year of the Zodiac and the end of the fourth year.
For the people of Chang'an, the physical condition of the Son of Heaven is not worth talking about, and near the end of the year, in the cold of winter, people began to talk about a news brought back by the Biansai merchant traveler - Li Guangli's death.
This general of the second division who gave up everything to surrender to the Xiongnu, while getting Shan Yu's trust, also attracted the jealousy of another Han who surrendered earlier, so when Shan Yu's mother was sick, the Han man named Wei Lu colluded with Hu Wu and asked Shan Yu to kill Li Guangli as a sacrifice.
The betrayer died innocently, and what made the common people talk about it was that the merchant described vividly how Li Guangli viciously cursed that he would destroy the Xiongnu after his death when he was dying, and the most legendary thing is that since Li Guangli's death, the Xiongnu had been raining and snowing for several months, livestock had died, the people were plagued, and the grain was not ripe...... As if it was really a yin spirit, the Huns were frightened and ordered to set up an ancestral hall for Li Guangli, and the rain and snow stopped immediately.
"Li Guangli can be regarded as a well-deserved death!" The Son of Heaven just gave such a bland comment on the bizarre death of his former favorite minister.
In the past two years, the identity of the Son of Heaven has become weaker and weaker, but it is only weak, and no one knows how long the Son of Heaven can support it so weakly, and the image of disasters that appear in July and August makes no one in the Manchu Dynasty dare to say anything about the country.
The Son of Heaven seems to have forgotten what happened after his death, whether it was the King of Yan and the King of Guangling who were crowned kings in the sixth year of Yuanzhen, or the King of Changyi who was canonized in the fourth year of Tianhan, he had not entered the dynasty once since he was instigated. Seeing that the Son of Heaven was old, Da Honglu, who was in charge of the affairs of the princes' dynasties, still wrote in September and asked if he would order the prince to come to the court.
The Son of Heaven's answer was succinct and clear: "No." ”
This kind of cold and hard attitude of refusal made Da Honglu tremble, and he was annoyed by his luck mentality -- the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, and the chasm between the monarch and the minister cannot be crossed by anyone! There are some things that cannot be crossed by the ministers.
Of course, Huo Guang, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, knows all these things, but after returning to his original state of silence and almost losing his sense of existence, not many people pay attention to him anymore.
Including Mrs. Hook Yi.
Huo Guang was very satisfied with this situation. In this way, he has more time to take care of those things that must be taken care of personally, such as the eldest daughter, such as ...... A child who is becoming more and more curious and overwhelmed......
The conditions of the county prison are limited, but Bing Ji did his best to give the child the best he could, and even the name was an inconspicuous but indeed full of good wishes.
In order to hide people's eyes, Huo Guang never set foot in the county prison, and all the news came from Du Yannian - Du Yannian sent the news to Zhang's family, and Zhang Anshi relayed it to Huo Guang.
Even Huo Guangxiu returned home, so he was arraigned.
Zhang Anshi didn't understand, but Huo Guang just smiled and didn't answer.
When the first month came, the Son of Heaven changed the Yuan again, since the Yuan Feng, whether or not he no longer wanted to hear the word "five years", the fact is that the year of the Son of Heaven ended at four, and this time was no exception.
Of course, in the same way, at the beginning of the first month, the Son of Heaven travels to Ganquan, and the suburbs are Taichou.
In early spring, on the high mountains, there was nothing in the alfalfa garden, and the empty fields were full of desolation, but the Son of Heaven came here from his own accord, leaving only Huo Guang and Jin Riyan to serve.
The cold wind was biting, and the Son of Heaven wrapped in a robe walked slowly by the Tianqi, Huo Guang and Jin Riyan guarded left and right, for fear that the Son of Heaven would make a mistake.
"Huo Guang, the sun is ......" The Son of Heaven suddenly stopped and called softly.
"The minister is here!" the two responded at the same time, and they also lowered their voices with tacit understanding.
"Today's events, all in the three of you, and I, have one word leaked, and we will not be forgiven!" The Son of Heaven's tone was cold, indicating the seriousness and importance of the next topic.
"Promise!" the two did not dare to slack off, solemnly promised, and their hearts were even more nervous.
"How is the crown prince now?" The question of the Son of Heaven came immediately, but it made Huo Guang's face turn pale, and his eyes almost turned black.
Jin Riyan knew less than Huo Guang, so he calmed down, raised his head, and replied to the Son of Heaven with puzzled eyes: "The grandson of the prince is in the county mansion prison, and the minister doesn't know anything else." ”
"Huo Guang?" The Son of Heaven looked at Huo Guang, his eyes so indifferent that he couldn't see a trace of emotion.
Huo Guang's hand trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to delay and speak, trembling, he bowed slightly, and replied to the Son of Heaven calmly: "It's okay." ”
"I want to meet that child. No one else needs to know. The Son of Heaven gave a flat order, then turned around and continued to move forward, leaving Huo Guang and Jin Riyan looking at each other in the cold wind, unable to return to their senses for a long time.
……
It only takes one day to get from Chang'an to Ganquan, but how long does it take to quietly bring a young child from the prison of Chang'an County to Ganquan Palace?
It is the requirement of "not needing others to know" to give Huo Guang and Jin Ilyan a headache.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Ganquan Palace is a place to worship the heavens, solemn and solemn, and the people who serve here are people who are familiar with the rules, and the number of people is relatively small.
- The Son of Heaven still takes good care of the two close ministers!
When Du Yannian's cronies finally sent the child to Ganquan, it was the last day that the Son of Heaven was stationed in Ganquan Palace.
The child was drugged and fell asleep peacefully, unaware that he was in a completely strange place, being held by someone he had never met.
Huo Guang, who was holding the child, was trembling, and his arms in his wide sleeves were almost numb. It's not that he hasn't held a child before, but for this child, it is the first time he has held him in his arms with such a caring attitude.
When handing over the child to the Son of Heaven, he heard the Son of Heaven whisper with a chuckle: "When I first saw you, you weren't so nervous. ”
A brief moment of contact was enough for the Son of Heaven to notice the nervousness of this usually calm close minister.
In the fourth year of Yuanzhen, the eleven-year-old Huo Guang was led to the Son of Heaven by Huo Quai, who returned from Mobei.
From that dilapidated and gloomy home to the magnificent and glorious Weiyang Palace, he was frightened, but also excited, when he saw the Supreme, he was nervous but still able to salute correctly according to his brother's teachings - compared to his brother who was more dazzling than the sun, the momentum of the Son of Heaven of the Great Han could not make him frightened and rude, not to mention, in the Qingliang Palace, there were two people, one big and one small, with the same gentle gaze to soothe the uneasiness in his heart. After that, the little man walked out of the Qingliang Hall with his hand, and said to him with a pair of black eyes full of curiosity: "Are you the younger brother of the sick brother......?
“…… This child's ...... is like a child's "vicissitudes of life" The emotion seems to cut through time and space, and comes from somewhere far away.
Huo Guang blinked, broke free from his memories, and looked at the child in the arms of the Son of Heaven.
Just now, he trembled with excitement, and he couldn't even see the child's appearance clearly.
The child was well taken care of, although he was not fat, but his face was ruddy and his demeanor was serene, which showed that he was not wronged.
"It's like a prince. Kim Il-yan echoed softly beside him.
"But it's much lighter than that. The Son of Heaven frowned slightly, but did not say anything more.
“…… Huo Guang......"
"The minister is here. Huo Guang immediately came back to his senses and stepped forward, not knowing what the Son of Heaven would say.
"This child, I will hand it over to you!" The Son of Heaven gently stroked the child's face, still reluctant, but finally let Huo Guang hold the child.
"Minister...... Feng Zhao!" Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and replied.
The Son of Heaven waved his hand tiredly: "This is not an edict. ”
Huo Guang and Jin Riyan were stunned at the same time, but the Son of Heaven was unwilling to explain.
"Send him away!"
Huo Guang bowed his head and saluted, and left with the child in his arms.
"Golden boy, do you feel wronged?" the old Son of Heaven closed his eyes and asked softly the only person left beside him.
Jin Riyan subconsciously shook his head, and then said: "The minister doesn't dare to speculate, but you can imagine Your Majesty's hard work." ”
"Oh?" the Son of Heaven replied, squinting at him.
"There are some things that ministers can't do, only the Huo family can do. Jin Riyan lowered his head and whispered, calmly stating his thoughts, making the Son of Heaven laugh.
After laughing for a while, the laughter became silent, and the Son of Heaven whispered softly: "It's not the Huo family, it's Huo Quai's younger brother......"
Kim Il-pan stopped talking.
It was dark outside the hall, and it was also very quiet, suddenly, there was a faint voice coming, Jin Riyan was on alert, for a moment, but he saw the prince Fu Ling running in, with a childish look and a look of expectation, the emperor also saw his young son, smiled lovingly, and the little prince immediately ran to the side of the bed, and Jin Riyan silently participated.
Seeing the emperor and his young son talking softly, he suddenly felt that this scene was extremely dazzling, but he was powerless to say anything more and quietly retreated.
Outside the hall, the stars are thick, indicating good weather tomorrow.
