Chapter 64 Man is not as good as heaven
For Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to summon Sang Hongyang and others, Huo Guang didn't know what he talked about during the period, and he didn't even know Huo Quai, after all, the economic aspect was not Huo Quzhi's concern, and his responsibilities were not in this area.
Huo Guang also knew that for the overall economic situation of a country, he was also a layman, and these things really depended on Sang Hong, Yangkong, and others. And since he met Sang Hongyang that night, Huo Guang has never seen the three of Sang Hongyang in Ganquan Palace, and it is estimated that these three people left after talking to Emperor Wu of Han that night.
Leaving in such a hurry, it can also be seen that what Emperor Wu of Han told them to do was very urgent and important. Huo Guang understood that in this way, he would not be able to blatantly make enemies of Sang Hongyang in the future.
In the following nearly a month, Huo Guang spent time in Ganquan Palace. In this month, in addition to being occasionally summoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to play beside him and be a follower, Huo Guang was pulled by Huo Quzhi to practice bow horses and simple martial arts. However, I have to say that with the guidance of such a famous general as Huo Quzhi, Huo Guang has really made a lot of progress.
The most obvious of these is that Huo Guang can finally completely pull out a stone bow, although the accuracy is still much worse, but at least Huo Guang has reached the level of an adult in terms of strength.
In the Western Han Dynasty, one stone is one hundred and twenty catties (one catty in the Han Dynasty is only half a catty now, about 250 grams), that is to say, the bow that can be pulled apart by sixty catties of strength in later generations is called a stone bow. And the average arm strength of an ordinary adult man is sixty to seventy catties, like Huo Qu's illness is different from ordinary people, he can skillfully use a two-stone strong bow, whether it is range or strength, it is twice as strong as an ordinary bow and arrow.
As for those cattle people who can shoot a three-stone strong bow in the history books, Huo Guang doesn't know if it's really so terrifying? Or is it pompous in later generations? At least Huo Guang knew that there was no one who could open the three-stone strong bow of the Han Dynasty in this period.
In this month, Huo Guang also had seven or eight opportunities to be alone with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but every time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to be business-like, he was not as harmonious as when he met Huo Guang for the first time, and even the conversation was superficial, without any in-depth communication. Huo Guangzhi can understand this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is like a leader in later generations, he will occasionally show kindness and ease in front of his subordinates, and even put his heart into his heart, but this situation must not be much, because once there are more, it is easy to make his subordinates less awe-inspiring. In general, it is necessary to maintain majesty, and even create a distance from subordinates, so that subordinates will feel that the leader values them without losing their majesty. This is also an indispensable technique for the emperor.
In August, the weather was no longer so hot, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally planned to return to Weiyang Palace, and then the mighty procession set off from Ganquan Palace.
According to the arrangement and practice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he has been away from Chang'an for so long, and a very formal court meeting will definitely be held tomorrow morning, and many important things will be announced at this court meeting. If nothing else, Huo Guang's appointment as Chang'an Ling will also be announced tomorrow, but Huo Guang has no chance to attend the court meeting, and even after he takes office as Chang'an Ling, he is not qualified.
"Wealthy...... Hahahaha, you're finally here, I've been missing for the past year! As soon as Huo Guang returned to the Champion Hou Mansion, he saw a familiar figure, this person was Zhen Youcai, who had been absent for more than a year.
Now Zhen Youcai is much taller than a year ago, and he is also much stronger, his age is not much different from Huo Guang, and the gap between the two is at most a month. However, it may be a matter of nutrition and genetics, Zhen Youcai and Huo Guangzhan seem to be a little shorter together.
"Ah Guang, I heard that you are really a big official, but I didn't expect the famous champion Hou to be your eldest brother!" Zhen Youcai was also very excited, he only arrived yesterday, and everything in Chang'an City seemed so strange.
"Well, Your Majesty is about to seal me as the Chang'an Order, and I took you here just to want you to help by my side in the future. I don't know if you want to have money? Huo Guang explained his plans, although he knew that Zhen Youcai came to Chang'an, it was equivalent to saying that he was willing to follow him, but Huo Guang still had to ask very formally.
"Yes, of course. Ah Guang, you have been a county magistrate at such a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future, I Zhen Youcai has no ability, so I will follow you in this life! "Zhen Youcai is a sincere person, and he may not understand the big truth. However, people in the Qin and Han dynasties were very righteous, and if they said that they would follow them for a lifetime, then they would definitely follow Huo Guang for the rest of their lives.
"Haha, I know that I, Huo Guang, didn't look at the wrong person, and I will never treat you badly in the future!" Zhen Youcai was the first person Huo Guang met after he crossed, and he had special feelings for him, and Huo Guang was also very happy to get Zhen Youcai's clear answer.
Now Huo Guang doesn't have his own mansion, so he arranged Zhen Youcai to live in his courtyard. Tomorrow, Huo will go to the court when he is sick, and after tomorrow, Huo Guang may also take office in Chang'an, and there will be less leisure time in the future, so Huo Guang decided to go to Maoling again early tomorrow morning. One is to share with Li Yan the joy of becoming Chang'an Ling, and the other is to visit Zhuo Wenjun, since Sima Xiangru died, Huo Guang either recuperated in the mansion or went to the dark pavilion, originally Huo Guang planned to visit Zhuo Wenjun on the second day when he returned from the dark pavilion, but he happened to be summoned to Ganquan Palace by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
That night, Huo Guang and Zhen Youcai chatted until late before resting separately, in this separate year, Zhen Youcai had no strange experience, and it was not until Huo Quying sent someone to pick him up that he realized that his fate had really changed because of Huo Guang.
During the whole conversation between the two, Zhen Youcai pestered Huo Guang to tell about the battle of Mobei, and when he heard that the soldiers were trapped in the wolf house and other thrilling places, Zhen Youcai also opened his mouth wide, and when Huo Guang finished talking about Zhen Youcai, he still looked unfinished, that is, he felt thrilled, and he wished that he could be there. ( Pingnan Romance)
"Ah Guang, if there is still a chance to go to war in the future, you must take me with you!" Zhen Youcai said unfinished, it seems that no matter ancient or modern, every teenager has a dream of dominating the field in his heart.
"Hehe, the battlefield is not a joke, if one is not good, you will lose your life, you and I are still young and there will be more opportunities in the future, but before this we all have to practice martial arts diligently, I forgot to tell you, I can now draw a full stone bow!" Huo Guang said with a smile, and didn't forget to show off in front of Zhen Youcai. Everyone has vanity, and Huo Guang is not exempt from vulgarity, no one in the world really likes brocade night walking.
Early the next morning, Huo Guang and Zhen Youcai rode out of Chang'an City and headed towards Maoling, while the seventh and eighth were still following behind Huo Guang, and now Huo Guang was also used to the existence of these two people.
"Yan'er, are you at home?" Huo Guang stood outside Li Yan's house and shouted inside, but no one responded after shouting a few times.
"Ah Guang? You're back! Yan'er is not at home, come to her aunt's house! Huo Guang stood for a while and didn't see anyone from Li Yan's family coming out, but at this moment, Zhuo Wenjun walked out of the courtyard and saw that it was Huo Guang and hurriedly said.
"Auntie...... I was also here to see Uncle Sima today, but I don't know where he is buried? Huo Guang saw that Zhuo Wenjun was much older than before, and he had lost his previous temperament. Before Sima Xiangru died, he could see the shadow of a generation of talented women in Zhuo Wenjun, but now she is completely a village woman, Huo Guang knew that Sima Xiangru died, and Zhuo Wenjun was also disheartened!
"Come with me......" Zhuo Wenjun said with some sadness, and then walked out of the courtyard and took Huo Guang to Sima Xiangru's grave.
Walking to the head of the village, Huo Guang saw a new mound appearing from a distance, needless to say, this must be Sima Xiangru's grave. However, what Huo Guang didn't expect was that Sima Xiangru's tomb didn't even have a fast tombstone, just a simple mound. After the death of a generation of resignations, he was buried in such a hastily manner, and even Huo Guang didn't feel a little sour when he saw it.
Huo Guang had already brought worship items with him when he came, and immediately took out these things and placed them in front of Sima Xiangru's grave. Huo Guang knew that he was now getting the position of Chang'an Ling, and there was a big reason because Sima Xiangru, so this time he worshiped Huo Guang from the bottom of his heart.
"Auntie, why is there no one in Yan'er's family? Do you know where she went? After Huo Guang worshiped Sima Xiangru, he asked Zhuo Wenjun about Li Yan's whereabouts.
"Yan'er and her family moved outside Chang'an City half a month ago, and the house here is empty, but this girl still comes to see me from time to time. She also came the day before yesterday, as if to say that he and Li Yannian were recruited by Princess Pingyang in the past few days, listening to her meaning, Princess Pingyang likes her quite much, and she thinks that she should be in Princess Pingyang's mansion these days! Zhuo Wenjun's words made Huo Guang suddenly have an ominous premonition in his heart, especially when he heard the name Princess Pingyang.
What Huo Guang has always been most afraid of is that Li Yan and Princess Pingyang are too close, because in history, Li Yan was introduced to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty by Princess Pingyang. But this is really not as good as heaven, in the month that she left, Princess Pingyang was still familiar with Li Yan, and even Li Yan had often lived in the princess's mansion, which was very bad for Huo Guang!
"Oh, Auntie is alone now, why don't you move to the Hou Mansion, and I can let someone take care of you!" Huo Guang can't do anything now in a hurry, so he can only go back and find Li Yan and then take care of it, but it is very inconvenient for Zhuo Wenjun to live here alone, so Huo Guang has the idea of letting Zhuo Wenjun move into the Champion Hou Mansion.
"A-Guang, thank you for your kindness. I'm used to living here, and I don't want to leave here, if I don't dislike my aunt, I'll be satisfied if I have time to come and see me! Zhuo Wenjun politely rejected Huo Guang's proposal, but she still hoped that Huo Guang would be free to come and talk to her, maybe after Sima Xiangru's death, Zhuo Wenjun's only one agreed with Huo Guang and Li Yan.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will never hear enough of Auntie's beautiful piano sound, and I will definitely come often." I don't know if it was out of sympathy or because he was moved by the feelings of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, Huo Guang really respected Zhuo Wenjun from the bottom of his heart. Huo Guang didn't force Zhuo Wenjun's choice, so he agreed to come to Maoling to see her from time to time.
The two chatted for a while, Huo Guang was worried about Li Yan, so he said goodbye to Zhuo Wenjun and galloped back to Chang'an. Huo Guang didn't know how far Li Yan and Princess Pingyang had developed, and how much thought did Princess Pingyang have to dedicate Li Yan to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?
