It has been more than 20 days since Liu He succeeded to the throne, and it is summer again. It was a very hot day in June, and the sun should be very hot, from morning to evening. But it's very strange that since the day Liu Fuling was buried in Pingling, it has been more than ten days, and every day is cloudy, but it doesn't rain.

There is a vision in heaven, what does this portend?

Liu He doesn't believe in this, anyway, he can play how he wants, his father died early, he has been unrestrained since he was a child, willful and good-willed, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't care about his weather vision.

On this day, Liu He, who was bored in the palace, planned that it had not rained all the time, so there should be no rain, so he decided to take his Changyi country cronies out for an outing.

Some people suggested going to Shanglin Garden, but some people said that it was too close to Shanglin Garden, and they should go farther, and they could go to Ganquan Palace. Liu He felt that it was a little far to go to Ganquan Palace, and it was summer, and the weather was too hot, so it was not appropriate to go too far, so he thought that we would go to Lin Yuan to play.

After receiving the news that Liu He was about to leave the palace, Huo Guang and the others were very happy, and they were busy arranging tasks and preparing to start.

Liu He took more than 200 people from the old Changyi Kingdom out of the palace in Beique, and happened to meet Gong Sui, the person he least wanted to see. Since Liu He entered the palace, Gong Sui has rarely had the opportunity to see Liu He, and the opportunity to talk to him is even rarer. Now that he met Liu He on Taichang Street, Gong Sui must have a lot to say to him.

I saw Gong Sui come forward and kneel in front of Liu He, and said loudly: "Old minister Gong Sui pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Liu He saw that it was Gong Sui, he had an indescribable taste in his heart. However, he has always respected Gong Sui very much, so he dismounted and helped Gong Sui up, and said: "Aiqing Ping, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you very much, but now I have to rush out of the palace and out of the city, and I will pass you on when I return to the palace." ”

Gong Sui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a few words to say, and he has to say it now, don't vomit or be unhappy." ”

Liu He was very helpless, so he had to say: "If Aiqing has anything to say, just say it quickly." ”

Gong Sui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have read all the letters of Lord Wang Ji. ”

Liu He nodded and said, "Look, I remember it in my heart." ”

Gong Sui still looked bitter, and continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister would like to reiterate here, the emperor died young before you have a chance to succeed to the throne, you have to behave very sadly, you have to be sad all the time day and night, you have to cry from time to time, the more fierce the crying, the better, put aside those funs in advance, it is not appropriate for you to rush out for an outing now." ”

Liu He hurriedly said with a smile: "Aiqing, don't worry, I understand this, it's just that these days, every day is cloudy, stuffy in the palace all day, suffocating to death, I just want to go out to breathe, and I don't go very far, just in Shanglin Yuan, and I will return to the palace in the evening." ”

Gong Sui still shook his head and continued: "Your Majesty, another point is that the general Sima Huo has always been in control of the government, you must lower your posture, get along with him well, respect him, whether it is a big or small matter, you have to ask him, I heard that you changed the Changle Guard, and made An Le to be the Changle Guard, the old minister felt that it was very inappropriate, and in the future, the appointment and dismissal of these officials, I think I still have to listen to his general, don't meddle in these things." ”

Liu He was a little impatient, so he nodded and said perfunctorily: "I understand this, Aiqing, you can rest assured, my official position has not been arranged, and Wang Ji, I will obey the general's arrangement, you can rest assured, I will leave." ”

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and galloped away, leaving Gong Sui with a lonely back watching them go away, standing there helplessly.

It's almost time to get to the straight city gate, and there is a small episode.

Gong Sui persuaded Liu He on Taichang Street, which was not a threat to Huo Guang and them, but the persuasion that happened at the Zhicheng Gate did make Huo Guang and them jump, and they thought it was a leak.

What's going on?

It turned out to be like this, but when Liu He and his Changyi army of more than 200 people were preparing to go out of the city at the Zhicheng Gate to go to Shanglin Yuan, a thin figure knelt in the middle of the city gate, blocking Liu He's exit.

Liu He thought to himself, who is so bold as to dare to stand in my way?

It turned out that kneeling in the middle of the city gate was Guanglu doctor Xiahou Sheng, Xiahou Sheng has been erudite since he was a child, simple and upright, simple and without prestige, why did he kneel in the middle of the straight city gate?

Liu He also felt strange, and hurriedly asked people to come forward and ask why, why did he block his way? It turned out that he found that there was a vision in the sky, because of his erudition, he knew that this must not be a good thing, so he was in the middle of the city gate, and wanted to advise Liu He, only to see him and the gift box said: "Your Majesty, Chang'an City has never had this situation, it has been twenty days, every day is cloudy but there is no rain at all, this is a bad omen for your subordinates to make trouble, please Your Majesty do not travel." ”

I was full of interest and wanted to go out to play early in the morning, but I was stopped and persuaded by Gong Sui, and my mood was not very happy. Now that he is about to leave the city, there are people like Xiahou Sheng, and he still says that there are visions in the sky and other things, which is simply a lie, yes, a gossip to confuse the public.

So Liu He ordered the court lieutenant to throw Xiahou Sheng into the court prison, and after hearing this, he was dismissed.

Tingjiao felt that this matter was very strange, so he reported it to Huo Guang. Huo Guang was startled when he heard this, only Tian Yannian and Zhang Anshi knew about this matter, how could this Xiahou Sheng also know, could it be that someone leaked the news?

Probably not, Zhang Anshi and Tian Yannian are both reliable people, how could they leak it? So what is the reason for this person to know?

Huo Guang thought about it and decided to summon Xiahou Sheng over and interrogate him personally.

Xiahou Sheng also felt strange, how could Huo Guang, who was the great general and the great Sima, also come to interrogate him in person, could it be that he was beyond his ability and alarmed them.

Huo Guang asked: "Okay, you Xiahou Sheng, why did you bewitch the people in the Zhicheng Gate early in the morning?" ”

Xiahou Sheng is a scholar, how can he agree that he was wronged as a fallacy to confuse the public, so he raised his head and said: "I don't have a fallacy to confuse the public. ”

Huo Guang asked again: "Where did you learn the news that there are subordinates who are in rebellion?" ”

This is what Huo Guang wants to know.

I saw Xiahou Sheng smile and said, "I learned about it from the sage." ”

"Where does the saint know?"

Huo Guang was very puzzled, and of course everyone here was also very puzzled.

"Which saint?"

Huo Guang continued to ask, Xiahou Sheng laughed, and said: "The "Hongfan Biography" of "Shangshu" is it, which says, 'The emperor is not in time, the heavenly punishment is always yin, and sometimes there are subordinates who cut down the superiors', which is from here." ”

After Huo Guang and the others heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they laughed, it turned out that there was no leak yet, it was just a coincidence. It seems that this Guanglu doctor Xiahou Sheng is indeed knowledgeable and talented, and it seems that he should be the best candidate for a teacher.

So, Huo Guang pardoned Xiahou Sheng.
