"Why hasn't this girl been here for two days?" Huo Guang leaned on the bed, looking out of the door from time to time. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" (Pingnan Romance) has now been two days since the assassination, and Li Yan has not been here for two days since she went back. However, Huo Guang knew that Huo Quzhi had already sent someone to secretly protect Li Yan, so he was not overly worried.

"Second Master is thinking about Miss Li again? I said, why didn't the second master take Miss Li to the house? Wouldn't it be possible to see each other every day! Lan'er walked in with a basin of water. Huo Guang has been lying in bed for the past two days, and he relies on Lan'er and Xian'er for food and washing, so Huo Guang and the two girls have become more and more familiar, plus Huo Guang has no shelf, and the two girls also joke with Huo Guang from time to time.

"You dead girl, are you making fun of your second master?" Huo Guang said with a smile, he was also very satisfied with these two personal maids. What is especially rare is that these two people have lived in the Champion Hou Mansion since they were children, and their loyalty is absolutely fine, so Huo Guang did not treat them as outsiders.

"The slave doesn't dare, Sister Xian'er asked me to ask the second master, what do you want to eat at noon?" Lan'er put down the wooden basin and scrubbed the face towel in the basin.

"Uh...... Don't fish anymore, you can get some other meat, I really don't want to eat fish. Huo Guang complained bitterly when he thought of the meal he was going to eat at noon. I don't know if it's really like that, or if it's the home remedies of people in this era, I don't know who said that fish is good for the healing of muscle wounds, so Huo Guang has been eating fish for a few days.

"Eating more fish is good for the second master's wound, and the doctor said the same." Lan'er hurriedly persuaded.

"I beg you, Lan'er, just let me change my taste, I'm going to vomit again......" Huo Guang begged Lan'er with a tearless expression on his face.

"Ah Guang, are you up?" Just when Lan'er was still in trouble, a long-lost voice came from outside the house.

As soon as Huo Guang heard this voice, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Yan'er, come in, I'm already up, why haven't you come in the past two days?" I look forward to your coming every day! ”

"Poof......" Lan'er laughed out loud when she saw Huo Guang's appearance. Then she stood aside very interestingly, and when Li Yan came in, she covered the door and went out.

"Huh? What happened to Yeona? Why is your face so ugly? As soon as Li Yan came in, Huo Guang found that her complexion was very bad, and her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and she looked like she had just cried.

"Ah Guang, Uncle Sima passed away early yesterday morning...... Li Yan threw herself on Huo Guang's bedside and cried, no wonder Li Yan didn't come for two days.

"People can't be resurrected after death, Yan'er, don't be too sad. By the way, Aunt Sima is okay? Huo Guang reached out and stroked Li Yanxiu's hair gently. Since he saw Sima Xiangru a few days ago, Huo Guang knew that he would definitely not live long, but he didn't expect to die the day after his assassination, so he couldn't even go to the funeral.

"Auntie hasn't thought about tea and dinner for the past two days, everyone has lost weight, and I'm also worried about my aunt's ......" Li Yan was busy taking care of Sima Xiangru all day yesterday, because Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun have no heirs, and his descendants are actually helping from the village.

"What about Uncle Sima's funeral?" Huo Guang can imagine that Sima Xiangru is gone, and Zhuo Wenjun describes his emaciated appearance. The ancients paid attention to the grand burial after death, and this thing had to be done.

"There is a person who claims to be Dongfang Shuo, he said that he was a friend of Uncle Sima before his death, and he was helping to do it for the past two days, as if he was still an official of a Taizhong doctor. By the way, it's the person we met when you first went to Uncle Sima's house. Li Yan gently wiped the tears on her face, the villagers didn't make much effort to help at most, and the funeral expenses were actually Dongfang Shuo's expense.

"So he is Dongfang Shuo?" Huo Guang suddenly realized, and also remembered the Dongfang Shuo he saw that day. Thinking about it, it is not surprising that the two of them were both members of the Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they became friends.

"You must have come here for something else, right?" Li Yan's every move couldn't hide from Huo Guang's eyes, and as soon as Li Yan appeared, Huo Guang found that she looked like she wanted to say something, and it seemed that she was embarrassed to say something.

"Mr. Dongfang said that he didn't have much money, and I originally wanted the family to take some money out to bury Uncle Sima, but I didn't expect my father and brother to ...... Ah Guang, I ......" Li Yan plucked up her courage and said, saying that she was really embarrassed to say it later.

"It's nothing, I'll let the housekeeper get the money, you go back and deal with Uncle Sima's future generations first, by the way, you have to hand over the money to Dongfang Shuo." Don't let you ...... again" Huo Guang was also a little angry in his heart, it was obvious that Li Yan's father and Li Guangli didn't want to use money to help Zhuo Wenjun, you must know that the money of the Li family was still fought for by Huo Guang for them, which is why Li Yan was embarrassed. However, Huo Guang took into account Li Yan's feelings, and the last sentence still didn't come out.

Huo Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Li Guangli is really a mud that can't support the wall, he is so snobbish, unstoppable and short-sighted.

Soon Huo Guang instructed Huo Tong to get the money, since Sima Xiangru was dead, Huo Guang naturally would not keep Li Yan, but asked her to hurry back to help deal with the future generations.

Regarding Dongfang Shuo's lack of money, Huo Guang also knew about it. Although so far, Huo Guang still doesn't know Dongfang Shuo, but this person is famous in the "Historical Records", which records that Dongfang Shuo likes young and beautiful women, and his Yulu and the rewards of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are all used to buy young and beautiful girls. Of course, in this era, no one will say that there is a problem with his life style, but how to say that Dongfang Shuo is also the non-mainstream of this era.

Rewind the clock to yesterday dusk. Dongfang Shuo hurriedly rushed back from Maoling in Weiyang Palace, and after he knew that Sima Xiangru had died, he simply communicated with Zhuo Wenjun for a while and hurried back to report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because Dongfang Shuo found that he had done something that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had done!

"Your Majesty, Sima Xiangru has passed away...... Dongfang Shuo whispered behind Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stopped when he heard this, and then looked into the distance with a melancholy gaze, and his hands were gently propped up on the palace railing.

After a long time, Emperor Wu of Han slowly asked, "Have you got the thing?" ”

Dongfang Shuo hurriedly knelt down and said in a panic: "The minister is incompetent, and the things are no longer in Sima Xiangru's house." I asked my sister-in-law, and she admitted that she had indeed seen it, but Sima Xiangru didn't find anything left when he died! ”

"So you lost something? Do you still have the face to come back to me? Emperor Wu of Han said seemingly calmly, but this sentence simply scared Dongfang Shuo to the point that he was out of his mind.

"Your Majesty is angry, although the minister has not taken back what His Majesty wanted, but I know where that thing is now." Dongfang Shuo is a smart man, otherwise he would not be called 'Zhisheng' by later generations, in fact, when he didn't find what Emperor Wu of Han wanted at Sima Xiangru's place, he had already guessed where he was going.

"In what place? Do you want me to get it myself? "Emperor Wu of Han was a little impatient.

"Your Majesty Rong Chen reported that as far as the minister knew, the last person Sima Xiangru saw before he died was Huo Guang, the younger brother of the champion Hou. I see that there are ten ** Sima Xiangru has already given that thing to Huo Guang. "Dongfang Shuo is worthy of being a wise saint, just passing by Huo Guang guessed the whole thing.

"Your Majesty, the minister also heard that Huo Guang was assassinated by an assassin after coming out of Sima Xiangru's house the day before yesterday, and is now recuperating in the mansion. Does Your Majesty want to send a decree? Dongfang Shuo secretly glanced up at Emperor Wu of Han's expression, and the assassin Emperor Wu of Han was thoughtful, so that there was no angry look, which also made Dongfang Shuo breathe a sigh of relief.

"Where is Sima Xiangru going to be buried?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly changed his words and began to ask Sima Xiangru about the aftermath.

"Now the body is still at home, and he has no relatives or friends, relying on the help of the villagers, it is estimated that he will be buried near Maoling." Dongfang Shuo thought that Emperor Wu of Han asked him this, what did he have to explain, but when Dongfang Shuo finished speaking, Emperor Wu of Han did not say anything. just said casually: "It's okay to be buried in Maoling!" ”

It was precisely because of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Dongfang Shuo later complained to Li Yan, hoping that Huo Guang could take some money to bury Sima Xiangru.

In the following days, Li Yan was busy with Sima Xiangru's aftermath and did not come to see Huo Guang, and after Huo Guang lay in bed for five days, he finally began to get out of bed and walk around the house. Huo Qubing has also been busy these days, because he plans to invite Emperor Wu of Han to seal the three princes at the court meeting on the first day of the next month. As far as Huo Guang knows, just yesterday Wei Qing had already begun to go to court, and it seems that his body is recovering very well. It was as if the assassination of the two of them had never happened.

Huo Guang walked for a while and then returned to the room, and took down Sima Xiangru's book from the shelf. Huo Guang has now finished reading all this book, and he finally knows that this is the book about the etiquette of sealing Zen and sacrificing to the sky. And now Huo Guang also knows that it turns out that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been preparing for the sealing of Mount Tai a long time ago.

However, due to the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, many ancient books were lost. A few years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also took out the sealing ritual vessels in the treasury for those Confucian scholars to see, but these people couldn't say why. In desperation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only decide to set his own rites of sealing Zen, but this kind of thing could not be done by himself as an emperor, and he really wouldn't, and this thing could not be known to everyone in the world.

So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Sima Xiangru to secretly prepare for the ceremony very early, and for so many years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has never forgotten this matter, and even paid attention to it all the time. Just three years ago, under the instruction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the King of Jibei also wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to dedicate Mount Tai and the surrounding areas and set up Taishan County. Coupled with the great victory in the battle of Mobei, in fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't wait to seal Mount Tai, and now what is missing is the canonization of Zen book in Huo Guang's hand.

"That's a lot of leverage...... However, it is not a good thing to keep this thing in his hand, and it is always remembered by Emperor Wu of Han, and it seems that it must be handed over as soon as possible. It's better to use this Zen book to add some strength to your brother's plan! Huo Guang rolled up the sealed Zen book, and when he knew the importance of this book to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was eager to hand it over immediately.

However, Huo Guang also knew that Sima Xiangru finally handed over this book to himself, in fact, he gave himself a chance to be promoted, if he handed it over so simply, he would have to make the most use of the Shangfeng Zen book, but at the moment, Huo Qu's illness was a good opportunity to go to the country.
