Chapter 5: The Gathering of Storms
The candle flame illuminated the spacious study, and Huo Guang quietly looked at the book. From the sixth year of Yuanzhan to the first year of Yuanping, this Han general has forged Huo Guang's steely heart and keen perception of the court from the sixth year of Yuanjia to the first year of Yuanping, and in this small study, he has even smelled a trace of the smell of war.
He glanced up at his nephew Huo Shan not far away, although he was already a lieutenant of Fengche, he was still frizzy, and what the new emperor did on the first day of his ascension to the throne made the entire Huo Guang political group panic. Huo Shan is no exception, what makes Huo Shan even more frightened is that after the dispersal of the dynasty, His Majesty did not summon any ministers of the previous dynasty, but only feasted the old department of Changyi State, and there was news to renegotiate the candidates of Weiyang Palace Lieutenant and Fengche Governor.
Huo Shan s face was full of fear, Huo Guang shook his head and didn't speak, but he was a little disappointed, the children of the Wei and Huo families are not as good as the next generation is the consensus of everyone today, growing up in the courtyard, it is difficult for a woman's hand to become a climate. Without his first uncle Wei Qing, his first brother Huo Qu's talent and courage did not learn his own forbearance. As long as he thought of this, Huo Guang secretly felt sad, Huo Shan was one of the few people in the Huo family who could pick up the burden, but it was also a middle-level asset, and his son Huo Yu was even more embarrassed. After a hundred years, he will be accompanied by Uncle Ghost. Even if the Huo family has a title, everyone will be wiped out.
The wind outside the window became louder and louder, and the entire Huo Mansion was in a solemn silence. Huo Shan felt his uncle's scrutinizing gaze, but he didn't know how to speak. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the housekeeper called the door softly, seeing that Huo Guang was still in the book, Huo Shan could only answer first.
At this moment, Huo Guang suddenly spoke: Bolt the heart ape, kill Yima, and see the original intention. The tide rises and falls, the stars change, but only the mountains and rivers do not move. This is also the meaning of the mountain I named for you, Corpse Cloud: The son of the tiger and leopard, although it has not yet taken shape, it has the air of eating cattle. It's up to you to be angry tonight, but now you can't afford this door, and you can't afford it, so I'll come. For a while, I just listened and didn't speak, and watched quietly. Please come in!
After listening to Huo Guang's words, Huo Shan hurriedly got up and opened the door of the study himself. The housekeeper led the general of the cavalry, Zhang Anshi, the Marquis of Fuping, and several mermaids behind him entered, Huo Shan saw that people saluted one by one, and Huo Guang also got up to greet him.
Greet each other, guests and hosts take their seats. The housekeeper Huo Fu closed the door and left after serving the tea in person, Zhang Anshi took a small sip of the teacup and drank the tea soup, silent. Bingji, the general who was present at the meeting, the servant Du Yannian, and the captain of the Qiang Guard, Weiyang Palace Wei Fan Mingyou, did not say a word. Time passed in silence, and Huo Shan found that the usual discussions, Prime Minister Yang Yi, cousin Huo Yu, and brother Huo Yun were all there. And this time, there are only uncles and themselves in the Huo family, plus Huo Guang's son-in-law Fan Mingyou. Thinking of this, Huo Shan had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak out.
Zhang Anshi calmly drank the tea in his hand, put the cup on the table, and wiped the water stains on his mouth without hurrying. pondered for a moment before speaking: After His Majesty ascends the throne, he needs to meet the Queen Mother. I waited until the palace ban was about to fall into the unseen majesty, and the arrival of the Weiyang Palace was a sign of feasting. The Queen Mother was very sad and asked me how to base myself on Changle Palace in the future.
Hearing Zhang Anshi's words, Huo Guang did not put down the book in his hand, but read it with more relish. Bingji glanced at Huo Guang, saw that Huo Guang had no intention of opening his mouth, pondered carefully, and cautiously took Zhang Anshi's words: General Che Cai, please be cautious, you are only as wise as the Son of Heaven, today's negligence must be the traitors and villains around you to provoke the relationship between the heavenly family, how can we as courtiers talk in vain. Zhang Anshi looked at Huo Guang with a smile when he heard Bingji's words, and joked: The general has found a good history, can speak changely, and is loyal to the Lord!
* As soon as the words fell, Fan Mingyou, the general of Huqiang, immediately spoke out: General, Bing Changshi was also anxious, and the ministers discussed Liu Ji, the son of Emperor Liwu, the king of Guangling, but because Liu Ji's behavior was perverse and absurd, he could not be enshrined in the temple. Liu He, the king of Changyi, was the son of today, who would have thought that His Majesty would act uninhibited and indulgent today, and he would not come to Tianjing Chang'an for many days and did not pay homage to Emperor Gao and other emperors. Today, it is even more necessary to establish the God name of Liu Ji, the mourning king of Changyi, his father, and set up a garden temple. completely ignored the bones of the first emperor, and did not arrange for the burial of the first emperor and other major events. General, Lord Taishan is the minister of Emperor Xiaowu, and is deeply loved by Emperor Xiaowu and the first emperor. It's tolerable, it's unbearable. If Your Majesty gives the Emperor the title of Emperor to the Mourning King of the Late Changyi, what face do we have to go to Emperor Xiaowu, the heroic soul of the first emperor?
When Huo Guang heard this, he put down his hand, knelt down from the north of the table, and howled and cried. Zhang Anshi Huo Shan beside him hurriedly helped him to sit down, Huo Guang twitched with tears and shouted inarticulately: Emperor Xiaowu entrusted the first emperor to me, the first emperor died and I will die and it will be difficult to wash away his sins, if the first emperor is left without sacrifice under the nine springs, how should I face the Xiaowu Emperor and the first emperor after death! Now that His Majesty is messing with his temple, what should we do?
After Bingji helped Huo Guang on the desk in front of him, he opened his mouth and said: General, poetry and books: There are stubborn sons in the family, and they will not die in their homes. The country has stubborn ministers, and it will not perish in its country. In the past: Yi Yin imprisoned Taijia in Tong Palace, and now the general can also ask the Empress Dowager's edict to abolish the establishment.
Nonsense, Your Majesty is not a big mistake, how can he be newly abolished, how can he not let the world criticize Huo Guang immediately refute it. Zhang Anshi frowned: Hexi sent an urgent report, the Xiongnu wantonly encroached on the land of Wusun, and the envoy of Wusun would go to Chang'an to ask for assistance in a few days. And these military reports were reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty only cared about having fun and ignored them. I did not agree to my request for a summons, and the six lieutenants of the two armies have complained. General, this is really an existential crisis! His Majesty has been in Beijing for 24 days, and he has been martial arts for a long time, and there are many Gu Liang students around him. I'm afraid that today's majesty will be like the crown prince Liu Ju when Emperor Wu was the emperor!
