Chapter 61: Waiting

Huo Guang sent Yi Zong and Du Zhou out of the door, he didn't expect that his biggest henchman would appear in this form, he was just about to make the Chang'an Order, Du Yannian appeared, this is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow.

Du Yannian should not be very old now, even a few years younger than Huo Guang. However, since Du Yannian was finally included in the list of the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion, his political ability is naturally beyond doubt. Now let Huo Guang find out in advance, and he can also cultivate as soon as possible.

Of course, Huo Guang has not blindly wanted to cultivate Du Yannian into his biggest confidant, because after all, it is no longer the original history, and many things have changed. However, as long as Du Yannian is willing to follow him, then Huo Guang will inevitably regard him as a confidant.

Don't think about Du Yannian for the time being, Huo Guang can finally sleep comfortably tonight. Not long after lying down on the bed, Huo Guang fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up again, he found that the light had been sprinkled outside the house, and sure enough, he slept until dawn.

"Lord Huo, Your Majesty has a decree to send you to serve you." As soon as Huo Guang got dressed and got up, he heard the voice of the inner attendant outside the door.

"I'll be there later!" Huo Guang replied in the room, this era is so good, there is not as much red tape between the emperor and the minister as there is in the feudal dynasties of later generations.

It was not surprising that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned him to serve Huo Guang, because whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to Ganquan Palace to bring him, or Li Kang's incident happened yesterday, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would have to see him sooner or later, and this kind of meeting was likely to be the case where no one else was present. However, for this first official meeting, Huo Guang still cheered up his spirits, not to mention the rest, at least Emperor Wu of Han was not so easy to fool!

Huo Guang hurriedly washed up, and went directly to the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was without even eating. At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was flipping through the newspapers sent from Chang'an Kuaima in the Yanshou Pavilion in the past few days.

"Master Huo, Your Majesty instructed you to go in directly when you come." When Huo Guang came to the Yanshou Pavilion, he was about to let the waiter report, but the waiter outside the door took the initiative to greet Huo Guang and let him go in by himself.

Huo Guang smiled and nodded to the waiter, then straightened his clothes, lowered his head and walked in carefully.

Huo Guang had been thinking about the official meeting with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for a long time at this moment, so every action at this time was something he had already thought about.

Huo Guang lowered his head, and took exactly the same distance with every step, and the angle at which he lowered his head was just the distance two zhang away from him, and the pace frequency was not hurried or slow, which made people feel that Huo Guang was stable at a glance. According to historical records, Huo Guang even touched the same pace in the palace for decades, and later on the road he often walked, he was stepped on by him because of his age, and if you look closely, you can find that every time Huo Guang falls footsteps, he will fall into the previous footprints.

In Huo Guang's mind, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just likes his cautious character, this must be shown.

"Chen Huoguang greets Your Majesty!" Huo Guang stood two feet away from the book case of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, bowed deeply and saluted.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of Han was still looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, and after waiting for two or three breaths, he glanced up at Huo Guang slightly and said, "Here, find a place to sit down!" ”

Emperor Wu of Han glanced at Huo Guang and then buried his head in the bamboo slip in his hand. Huo Guang raised his head slightly and looked around, he found that there were still eight cases in this room on both sides, Huo Guang stood up straight and walked to the last case on the right side and knelt down.

After Huo Guang sat down, he still lowered his head slightly, put his hands on his lap, and looked like a sculpture from a distance. At this time, Huo Guang would not be in a hurry, he had to wait, wait for Emperor Wu of Han to speak first, and before Emperor Wu of Han spoke, he could only regard himself as a statue.

Time passed little by little, Huo Guang estimated that it was almost half an hour, Emperor Wu of Han flipped through a bamboo slip and picked up another volume, although Huo Guang did not use his eyes to see, but he judged from the sound that Emperor Wu of Han had read no less than sixty books in this half an hour.

"You have also been to Mobei, tell me what you think of the Huns!" Suddenly, Emperor Wu of Han rolled up a book of books, and did not look through other books, but opened his mouth to ask Huo Guang.

Emperor Wu of Han's words were really sudden, and his question also surprised Huo Guang. For a while, Huo Guang didn't dare to answer rashly, but slowly stood up, bowed to Emperor Wu of Han, and after almost ten breaths, Huo Guang spoke: "All the ministers see are Hun soldiers, and they don't know anything about the Hun folk customs. Over the years, His Majesty has made many expeditions against the Xiongnu, but in fact, the Xiongnu pose little threat to our Han Dynasty. ”

The main reason why Huo Guang delayed for so long was that he was thinking about how to answer. But in the end, his answer was decent, with little substance.

"Li Cai said that you are young and crazy, Dongfang Shuo said that you are young and wise, but I think you are young and old!" Emperor Wu of Han said another irrelevant sentence, but this sentence made Huo Guang's heart stop jumping. Huo Guang knew that the young and frivolous must have said that he and Sang Hongyang were arguing over Li Yan, and the young wisdom was Dongfang Shuo's feelings after talking to him, these two evaluations were from others, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him an evaluation of a young man after seeing Huo Guang, which is equivalent to the impression that Huo Guang now remains in the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a young man.

For this evaluation, Huo Guang doesn't know whether it's good or bad?

"Did your brother teach you yesterday or did you think about it?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to have never played his cards with common sense, and he was still talking about one thing in front of him, but suddenly the next sentence turned to another thing. Huo Guang's thinking was still on the evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a moment ago, but then he had to think about another question.

Huo Guang found that this was also the genius of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and let others follow his thinking in a few words, and this kind of jumping conversation is the best way to see a person's true thoughts, because then there is not much time for you to think about how to answer.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's the minister's own will. My brother originally wanted to report it truthfully! Huo Guang didn't have much time to think about it, he thought that the matter of shooting Li Kang yesterday would be so over, who would have thought that Emperor Wu of Han would actually mention it again at this moment, which made Huo Guang not have much time to think, so he could only simply weigh the gains and losses, and then take the responsibility on himself.

Huo Guang's words are not false, saying that Li Dang was killed by a deer is actually what he meant. But it's also because he knows history. Fortunately, at that time, Huo Guang also discovered the abnormality of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, when Du Zhou said that Li Dang died of an arrow, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked in a questioning tone, "Is this really the case?" ’。

Because the situation at the scene is already obvious, at least the injuries on Li Gan's body are definitely not caused by the deer, and the only thing that is abnormal can only be the arrow that was inserted by Huo Guang. Huo Guang was keenly aware of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's words, and made him sure that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unwilling to pursue Huo Quai, maybe in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it would be good if Li Dang died, if Li Dare was really investigated, the matter of Li Dang's attack on the general would also be implicated, and the movement would be too big.

It was precisely because of this kind of willingness that Huo Guang stood up and explained that Li Dang was killed by a deer. However, Huo Guang also kept an eye on it, he did not deny that Huo Qubing shot an arrow, so if he really wants to be investigated, it can also be said that Huo Qubing shot Li Kang in order to shoot Li Kang in a hurry, although this statement is a bit far-fetched, but it is a valid reason.

"You're smart!" Emperor Wu of Han looked at Huo Guang with satisfaction, and just said a few simple words. Huo Guang was immediately relieved when he heard Emperor Wu of Han's words, he knew that his guess was right, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister was born in the mountains and grew up in the grass, and there are still many things to learn!" ”

"I heard you're fifteen years old, right?" Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have suddenly become interested in Huo Guang, and actually stood up and walked slowly towards Huo Guang.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is fifteen years old this year."

"Is there a match?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said very suddenly.

"This ...... There is no marriage yet! Huo Guang only now really realized that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worthy of being Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, since he had traveled for so long, Huo Guang thought that he had not met the kind of person who even he couldn't see through, but the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in front of him was such a person. His every word and action seems to have a deep meaning, which is incomprehensible.

In the Western Han Dynasty, a man could marry a wife at fifteen, and Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty also ordered that a woman must complete the marriage before the age of fifteen. Of course, this is aimed at ordinary people, because people of Huo Guang's status generally have a lot of concubines before fifteen.

However, no matter who has only one wife, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked if Huo Guang had a wife.

"Wouldn't I still be able to drink your wine? Ha ha! Emperor Wu of Han laughed loudly, Huo Guang really didn't expect Emperor Wu of Han to say such a sentence after asking for a long time.

"Your Majesty has made fun of the minister, and the minister who marries a wife dares to work Your Majesty!" Although Emperor Wu of Han spoke a little too jumpy, his words made the atmosphere a lot more harmonious, and Huo Guang also lost his previous seriousness. However, Huo Guang's words that he only served as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were pure jokes, if Huo Quai's wife and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were in person, it would be too unreasonable if Huo Guang married a wife and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came.

"If you think about it, you should still call me uncle. What is the reason for the elders to attend the wedding banquet of the younger ones? Emperor Wu of Han stretched out his hand and patted Huo Guang on the shoulder, and at this moment, he really said to Huo Guang like an elder.

At this time, Huo Guang was a little frightened, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put his hand on his shoulder, and let Huo Guang stand neither retreated. Everyone knows that they have nothing to do with Wei Shao'er, and it would be far-fetched to have anything to do with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said so, and Huo Guang couldn't refute anything!

"You should know that I asked you to do the things of the Chang'an Order, right?" Just when Huo Guang was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer, Emperor Wu of Han finally spoke again. This time, Huo Guang felt that it seemed that from this moment on, meeting with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would officially begin.
