13, the news brought by Du Yannian
Du Yannian did rush back for Huo Guang's explanation before leaving, because he rushed back from Yunyang, he happened to miss the edict of the marquis, and when he arrived at the Huo family, he learned about this happy event from the old man who was already the marquis of Bolu.

"The general and General Zuo were crowned marquis on the same day?" Du Yannian was stunned, and then vigilantly took the hot soup served by Jiacheng himself.
"Yes!" Jia Cheng didn't understand why this respected military secretary of the family asked this question alone.
Du Yannian held the ear cup, looked down at the rising steam, and was silent, not even noticing that Huo Guang was coming.
Jia Cheng just wanted to remind Du Yannian, but Huo Guang waved his hand to stop him, and then gently exited the study at his signal.
"General!"
Du Yannian didn't know how long he had been pondering, and as soon as he looked up and saw Huo Guang sitting opposite him, he couldn't help but be startled, and he was about to get up immediately.
Huo Guang stretched out his hand and pressed Du Yannian's shoulder: "No need." Look at you like this, you came from Yunyang. ”
Du Yannian didn't insist, smiled, drank the soup that had become warm in one gulp, and then said embarrassedly: "The minister doesn't know that the general is a marquis, and he came to the door empty-handed......"
"It's okay!" Huo Guang waved his hand, "The Du family has already saluted, and your nephew has not left you." Then he turned back to the topic: "The old man said that you have an emergency, is it Yunling, or ......"
Du Yannian nodded: "It's what the general explained last time." ”
Huo Guang's expression was more serious, but Du Yannian looked around hesitantly.
"Don't worry!" Huo Guang waved his hand, "Now, not a word of what I say here can come out of this room. In the end, there was a bit of ruthlessness in the words.
Du Yannian was relieved, but he still lowered his voice and replied: "All the palace people in the Hook Yi Palace went to the court prison that day, and the last time the general took the opportunity of Yunling to send people over, I interrogated them carefully, but no one knew the details, and I thought that Zhao Jieyu was still conspiring with Su Wen at that time......
This result was not what Huo Guang expected, so he just bowed his head lightly and waited for Du Yannian's next words, obviously, this result could not make Du Yan rush back to Chang'an in a hurry.
“…… However, there is an insider who says something. Du Yannian paused slightly, not hesitating, but uneasy, "The minister did not find corroborating testimony or evidence......
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and motioned for Du Yannian to continue.
"According to the man, at the beginning of August, the insider asked Guo Sui to see Zhao Jieyu." Du Yannian could only describe the answers obtained from his interrogation as objectively as possible, "That person said with certainty that Guo Sui and Zhao Jieyu have never had any dealings. ”
"Guo Sui?" Huo Guang felt that this name was very familiar.
Du Yannian reminded Huo Guang softly: "He once made the first Liu Quyu's wife to curse the great rebellion, and now he is ......."
"Insider Order!" Huo Guang's expression changed immediately, and he spoke coldly.
Du Yannian was silent.
He knew very well why Huo Guang reacted like this - in the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, the people who looked at the qi were all in prison, and it was the inner confessor Ling Guo Sui who went to the county prison where the emperor's great-grandson was located to announce the edict.
Once is a coincidence, what about twice?
- Who is this Guo Sui?
"What do you think?" Huo Guang asked in a deep voice.
Du Yannian smiled bitterly: "The minister hasn't finished talking yet." ”
"Oh?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, nodded slowly, and motioned for him to continue.
The man said that Zhao Jieyu asked people to check Guo Sui at that time, and he didn't know what the result was. The minister asked the court to order Guo Sui's register to be checked. "From the palace to the palace to the palace maids and eunuchs, everyone's origin and experience are registered by the court.
"What result?" Huo Guang frowned slightly.
Du Yannian took two rolls of bamboo slips from his sleeve, unfolded them side by side on the case, and then turned in a direction for Huo Guang to see by himself.
"This is Guo Sui's resume." Du Yannian's left hand pointed to a roll of bamboo slips, and then, with his right hand, he pointed to another roll of bamboo slips, "This is ......"
"Shangguan Ji's resume." Huo Guang said what he wanted to say indifferently.
Du Yannian withdrew his hand and bowed his head in silence.
There was silence in the study, and after a long time, Du Yannian heard the soft sound of bamboo slips colliding, and when he looked up, he saw that Huo Guang had already gotten up, and the two rolls of bamboo slips were held in his hands.
Seeing Huo Guang use the fire tendons bent by iron bars to pick up the top cover of the gilded copper furnace hanging on the beam, Du Yannian knew what Huo Guang was going to do.
Put the two rolls of bamboo slips on the red-hot charcoal in the furnace, watching the bamboo slips quickly be lit, and the bright blue flame burst out from the round furnace mouth, Huo Guang's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to pluck the bamboo slips with fire tendons, making the flames even more intense.
"Young father, today, Xingjun's son had an accident at my house, and my youngest daughter was involved." Huo Guang stared at the bright flame and suddenly spoke.
Hearing these words, which were completely unrelated to the previous topic, Du Yannian was stunned for a while, and finally reacted, but he was dumbfounded, not sure if he had understood Huo Guang's meaning wrongly.
No matter how fierce the flame is, there is a time when the bamboo slips are burned out, and only charcoal is in the warm furnace, the flame once again tamely gathers the light and rests quietly in the furnace.
Huo Guang closed the lid of the furnace, still standing in front of the warm furnace, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "The eldest princess asked Jin Xian about my daughter's appearance the day before yesterday......"
Du Yannian couldn't help but be surprised: "The county official is only ten years old...... "It's just a kindergarten age, it's too early to discuss marriage, right?"
Huo Guang chuckled: "I didn't expect the eldest princess to be able to connect me with the Wei family. "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be so nervous about the matter of the Emperor's great-grandson.
Du Yannian stroked his forehead: "The eldest lord is worried that the general values the emperor's great-grandson more? "It can't be said that the eldest princess's worries are unreasonable, but it is inevitable to hope for marriage...... O woman's opinion!
Huo Guang chuckled, and did not deny Du Yannian's words: "After you get it, you will be afraid of losing." ”
The eldest princess of Eyi has just the right mind - she knows very well that everything she does comes from today, if she loses today, she will still be the penniless princess, although she is indeed a princess, but not all princesses can have the honor and authority of Lord Dou and the eldest princess of Pingyang.
Du Yannian just wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered the cause of this topic, and couldn't help but ponder for a while, before raising his eyes to look at Huo Guang: "The general thinks that General Zuo has something to worry about?" ”
Huo Guang smiled indifferently: "On the household registration of the Shangguan family, Xijun's name is 嫱. Concubine Imperial ...... Perhaps, Shangguan Ji had this intention from the beginning! Thinking of his granddaughter's name, Huo Guang was already seven points sure, and in his secret annoyance, he had already called Shangguan Ji's name.
"If that's the case...... But it's not good......" Huo Guang whispered softly, gently knocking on the side of the stove with fire tendons, and there was a light sound that made Du Yannian's heartbeat mess up.
