2. The great-grandson of the emperor
Walking into the Qihua Hall with the pervasive bitter taste and the fragrance of the fruit dragon, Huo Guang's expression did not change at all, he calmly saluted outside the curtain, bowed to the Son of Heaven, greeted him, and did not hear the reply of the Son of Heaven, so he kept kneeling until Mrs. Gou Yi walked out of the inner bed and bowed to him gently: "Captain Fengche, please enter." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" and led the palace people to the outside of the palace.
Glancing at Mrs. Gouyi's back, silently noting her look of joy even though she was tired, Huo Guang stepped into the inner bed.
The two waiting maids lowered the curtains and withdrew.
In the huge inner bed, there are only two people, the Son of Heaven and Huo Guang.
The Son of Heaven did not make a sound, Huo Guang slowly walked to the bed, saluted again, and then sat down on the seat in front of the bed, calmly looking at the Son of Heaven, who had always closed his eyes.
Looking at the bloodless but still angular face of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang couldn't help but think of the immature face last night, and then, the idea of comparison grew wildly in his heart, and in the end, he could only give in to the uncontrollable thoughts.
Carefully comparing the two in his heart, Huo Guang shook his head after all-that baby is not like the Son of Heaven...... It's more like a figure that has begun to turn yellow in some memory......
The heart ached uncontrollably, Huo Guang gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, and slammed them against the ground.
- How will he face that person in the future?
The man held his hand and earnestly admonished: "Zimeng, the prince is used to being spoiled, and I don't know what the danger is...... You're smart, mention him more......"
He should be told with great responsibility.
Now......
“…… Zi Meng......"
"The minister is here!"
The thoughts, immersed in self-blame, still instinctively reacted to the almost groaning call of the Son of Heaven.
Walking close to the bed of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang bowed his head and waited for the Son of Heaven's command, and then listened to the weak voice of the Son of Heaven: "Jun go to Hu County......"
"The minister is not going!" refused to blurt out, not letting the Son of Heaven finish his words at all.
"Why?" the Son of Heaven did not get angry, but calmly expressed his doubts.
Huo Guang bit his lip and kowtowed silently.
The Son of Heaven closed his eyes, and after a while, he gently moved his hand stretched out outside the bed twice, and said, "Then let Taichang go!"
"No!" Huo Guang agreed softly.
Exiting the inner bed, Huo Guang whispered the edict of the Son of Heaven to the imperial history serving in the main hall: "The lord edicts too often go to Hu County...... Governing the Prince's Funeral ......"
The servant Yushi was stunned for a moment, watched Huo Guang walk out of the palace gate, and then came back to his senses under the reminder of the eunuch beside him, and hurriedly wrote the edict.
Walking out of the emperor's bed, watching the morning sun sprinkle its gentle light on the bright red paving tiles, Huo Guang couldn't help but close his eyes.
- Blood-like color......
- At this moment, this noble color is too dazzling......
Zi Meng...... Are you alright......"
The familiar voice of concern made Huo Guang open his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Jin Riyan standing in front of him, and his indifferent expression did not show that Fang Cai's words of concern came from his mouth.
Huo Guang shook his head, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he turned sideways.
Jin Riyan just regained his life, and after a while, he also retreated, glanced at it, walked to Huo Guang's side, hesitated, and said: "Ting Weiyan, the emperor's great-grandson is the county mansion prison...... You know what?"
Huo Guang nodded: "Jun Fang is going to Tingwei?"
Jin Riyan frowned slightly, but still replied: "Your Majesty wants to check the crown prince...... After ...... before and after" Considering Huo Guang's mood, Jin Riyan replied vaguely.
Huo Guang didn't seem to feel anything, and looked at the emperor quietly.
After a long time, Jin Riyan suddenly heard Huo Guang's faint voice: "I haven't been to Kunming Pool for a long time......"
Jin Riyan was puzzled, but he also understood that what Huo Guang had been looking at was not the Qihua Palace, but the Kunming Pond in the southwest of Chang'an......
- Why did you think of it......
Huo Guang could only be silent about Jin Riyan's doubts and displeasure, he knew that he should not doubt Jin Riyan, but the eldest daughter's questioning voice lingered in his ears and heart: "If it is not a coincidence, then someone must have leaked the secret...... It's not a little cousin, it's Kim Il-pan......"
- Wei Deng......
- Betraying the crown prince, he is still surnamed Wei! Such a simple calculation, the general's son will not be counted?
——Kim Il-pan......
Intuitively, Huo Guang knew that it was not Jin Ilyan......
- But now, can he trust him with his instincts alone?
“…… The county mansion is a big Honglu ......" Jin Riyan frowned slightly, and pressed down his other thoughts to let himself focus on this matter, "...... Shangqiu Chenggang was sealed as a marquis for quelling the rebellion ......"
In July, on the third day of the prince's defeat, Dahonglu Shangqiu Cheng was awarded the title of Marquis of Qin by Zhang Guang, the prince's guest who commanded the rebellious army, and Ma Tongfeng, the prince's envoy and the squire of the Changshui Hu Cavalry, was sealed with the marquis, and Jing Jianfeng, who was the prince and young Fu Shide, was captured with Ma Tong.
Huo Guang pursed his lips: "I know, but ...... Elsewhere it's even more unsafe......"
"County Prison ...... What's so special?" Kim was puzzled.
Huo Guang closed his eyes and sighed silently: "...... The little girl said that the messenger of the county prison was ...... It's Shi Liangdi's old acquaintance......"
……
Last night, the young woman with the baby on her back sneaked into the house and used a poison national treasure mirror as large as eight baht as a coin to prove that the child was the emperor's great-grandson, who was now the only blood descendant of the prince.
The woman was unkempt and put the sleeping baby in front of him: "The emperor said that the house must be in front of everyone, and the Jun family should be safer; ”
Stroking the smooth mirror surface and looking at the familiar ornamentation, Huo Guang affirmed the identity of the baby in swaddling clothes - although this treasure mirror is very valuable, no one except the person concerned will use this unmarked thing as a basis.
——This is one of the gifts given to the general Wei Qing when Zhang Qian returned from his envoy to Wusun in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that those who wear it are blessed by the gods, and Wei Qing just smiled and never wore it. In the fourth year of Yuan Ding, the eldest son of the prince was born, and Wei Qing sent a congratulatory gift with this thing.
"Who are you, and why did the emperor entrust this son to you?" Although the identity of the child was proven, Huo Guang was still very cautious.
The woman raised her head and kowtowed: "The maid is the queen's eldest prince, and she sent Shi Liangdi, Wang Ji and her great-grandson out of the palace by the queen's edict. The emperor and grandson were merciful, and fled with their servants......"
Huo Guang listened in silence and asked again: "Do the emperor and grandson have any plans for this son?"
"The emperor said that he did not expect anything else, but asked for this son to be sheltered and live a safe life. ”
"It's just peace...... Huo Guang's heart tingled—it was just that simple...... Even humble aspirations?
“…… Good ......"
"Not good!"
Just as Huo Guang was about to agree, a resolute voice sounded, interrupting the secret conversation stiffly.
Seeing the eldest daughter, Huo Guang couldn't help frowning immediately, and while motioning for his daughter to come in, he scolded the wife who was holding his daughter: "Xingjun doesn't know the severity, don't you know either?
Donglu just smiled bitterly - husband, daughter, which one is willing to listen to her persuasion?
Huo Xingjun, who was only wearing a home robe, sat on a single couch covered with peach brocade, leaning on a few pieces, and asked his father with a pale face but resolutely: "What about after peace? Let the only blood descendant of the prince live in a humble life for the rest of his life? Let the orthodox heir of the Han Dynasty be subservient to others for the rest of his life?" If this is the case...... Why did the prince commit suicide?...... And why should we let him live?...... It's better to ...... It's better to let him go and reunite with his parents now!"
Every word the eldest daughter said was like a sharp blade cutting through the tip of his heart...... The pain was so constant that he couldn't even shed tears.
"Luckily ...... Right now...... We can't think about the future...... Such a distant thing!" Huo Guang endured the pain in his heart and explained to his daughter. The woman kneeling in the room also bowed her head slightly. However, his daughter closed her eyes and stubbornly refused:
"Changyu, thinking about the future is already a luxury......"
"That's right!"
"But...... If there is no hope for the future, why should we work now?"
His daughter opened her eyes, her clear dark eyes looking at him quietly, waiting for his decision.
- Can he refuse?
“…… Even if he retains his identity...... Lucky ...... Do you know what the edict looks like?"
- Even a healthy man in the prime of life may not be able to withstand the cold of prison, let alone this frail baby.
Huo Xingjun was silent, biting her bloodless lower lip hard, and finally, her gaze fell on the combined tether of the treasure mirror in his hand.
“…… This is ......" She was confused, and Huo Guang was equally confused.
The young Changyu Wensheng glanced at the colored rope in Huo Xingjun's hand and gave the answer: "This is Shi Liangdi's untie from his wrist." The shock came suddenly, they couldn't find anything to tie the treasure mirror to the baby, and finally Shi Liangdi remembered that she still had this thing on her body.
"Have you seen it?" Huo Xingjun often goes in and out of Tai*, and it is not unusual to see this thing.
Huo Xingjun shook his head and nodded: "I have seen this thing in others......"
Huo Xingjun thought hard, and finally beat a few words: "I remember! It's the messenger who was recruited to cure the witch prison...... The original Imperial Lieutenant ...... I saw him at Shi Liangdi's residence...... Liangdi said that she was an old man in her hometown...... What is it called...... That weird ......"
"Bing Ji!" The old court lieutenant, Shi Liangdi, who was born in Lu State, is a fellow villager, and his surname is very strange, these three points are enough for Huo Guang to guess the identity of that person.
"That's right! it's Bing Ji!" Huo Xingjun nodded affirmatively.
There were not many Lu people in the court, and Huo Guang had never seen anyone else wearing this item.
- Shi Liangdi did not solve the ...... even in the run
Huo Guang was thoughtful and a little hesitant, not knowing if he could entrust Liu Ju's remaining bloodline to that person with these alone, but they didn't have much time, although they didn't come to the Huo family now, it didn't mean that they wouldn't have it tomorrow.
- Do they still have a choice?
"Try it!"
Picking up the baby, Huo Guang sighed, watching the baby move uncomfortably because of his clumsy posture, he handed the child to his wife, and turned his head to look at the woman: "Do you have anything to prove your identity?"
The woman nodded, and the next moment she was stunned by Huo Guang's words: "Tomorrow, you will hold the child and call yourself the county mansion prison, and you will be the first!"
"You don't want to?" Huo Guang asked clearly.
The woman's expression was grim, and she said categorically: "As long as it is beneficial to the great-grandson, what if the servant is infamous on his back!"
- She is the queen of the queen, and she is bound to die!
"Good ......" Huo Guang nodded, and couldn't help but caress the child's delicate forehead: "The expectations of so many people, the protection of so many people...... It's going to be heavy, but you won't let us down...... Isn't it ......"
Huo Guang, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't see it, and his daughter also looked at the baby, with a complicated expression, not knowing what to think.
Note: "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" records that "Emperor Xuan was admitted to the county prison. On his arm, he still has Shi Liangdi's tactful silk rope. A poisonous national treasure mirror is as big as an eight-baht coin. The old legend is that this mirror is enchanting. Those who are admired are blessed by the gods. Therefore, Emperor Xuan benefited from danger. and that is, the big bit. Every time you hold this mirror, you feel the pharyngeal shift. It is often flourished with amber. Weave a brocade with Qili. A diagonal brocade. The emperor didn't know where he was. ”
(Wailing with infinite resentment: "I want to collect! I want to recommend ......")
