Chapter 155: Legacy

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got the news of Huo Qu's death, Empress Wei Zifu and Prince Liu Ju also heard the bad news, for these two people, this news is definitely bad news, especially after the crown prince Liu Ju heard about it, he couldn't help crying on the spot,...

Compared with the behavior of the queen and the crown prince, Emperor Wu of Han was much more reckless. However, this is also related to the identity of the queen and the crown prince, because if the queen and the crown prince are also like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they will be impeached and unhonored, but no one dares to gossip if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does this.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was no tradition of wearing linen and filial piety in later generations, but white clothes and vegetarian clothes were ancient. At this moment, the people in the Hou Mansion are all wearing white gauze clothes, kneeling inside and outside the mourning hall in order. It was not Huo Guang who knelt at the front, but Huo Heng, after all, Huo Quai's closest person was Huo Heng.

Huo Qubing died suddenly tonight, not yet the official day of worship, the death of a character like Huo Quai, it must be the imperial court to be responsible for the operation, and all Chang'an officials have to come to worship, but these are not what should be born tonight, but when the Hou Mansion was just arranged, Emperor Wu of Han hurriedly came to the Hou Mansion.

"My hussar general...... Why do you disregard the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers so much, didn't you promise me to conquer the Western Regions for me? "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appeared in the Champion Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was already in a state of silence at this time. And the hall of the Hou Mansion has become a mourning hall for Huo Quai.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted at Huo Quai's body in such a sad and angry manner, looking like he was blaming Huo Quai, but everyone could see that the dignified Emperor Han was really grieving.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said a few words, but the atmosphere in the mourning hall was even more sad, and Huo Yan even lay on the ground and cried bitterly. Seeing this, Huo Guang hurriedly stepped forward to support Huo Yan, after all, he was only a six-year-old child, and Huo went to be sick and bedridden for these days. Huo Yan didn't eat well and slept well, plus she was overly sad, so it's very good to be able to survive until now.

"Huan'er, are you alright?" Huo Guang saw Huo Heng's eyes confused. His expression was also a little sluggish, and he asked worriedly.

"Second uncle, I'm so scared...... I saw my father float up, and he walked farther and farther. He ignored me no matter what I called him...... I'm so sleepy......" Huo Huan looked at the top of his head with blank eyes, his voice was intermittent, and by the end of the last sentence, Huo Huan had closed his eyes. It's just that I'm too tired to fall asleep.

"Madam, you take Xi'er down to rest, let him rest well tonight!" Huo Guang instructed Li Yan behind him. Li Yan is now about to give birth. She couldn't just keep a night here, so she took the opportunity to let them both go to rest.

"Your Majesty, please also mourn, before leaving, my brother also thanked Your Majesty for his kindness to my Huo family." Huo Guangzhi took away Li Yan and Huo Huan, and stepped forward to comfort Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Originally, Huo Guang was a family member, and it stands to reason that someone else should persuade him, but now it is reversed.

"I hate it...... I am rich in the world. But even the hussar general can't stay, I am destined to return, but I can't assert life and death. Huo Guang: Did you say that I did a good job as an emperor? Emperor Wu of Han said with a sad and indignant face, but Huo Guang could feel that there was some helplessness in Emperor Wu of Han's words.

At this moment, Huo Guang's heart is so bitter! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Huo Guangzhen not knowing how to answer, Huo Guang wondered whether it was his own family that died or Emperor Wu of Han's family died, how did he feel that he was comforting others. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked him, and he couldn't help but answer.

Who dares to answer this question of Emperor Wu of Han head-on? It is estimated that no one can, no matter who asks, they can only answer, 'Your Majesty is a good emperor', but how to explain the previous question of Emperor Wu of Han? This kind of topic involving the fate of days, in this era of feudal superstition, it really can't be solved if it's not a god.

"Your Majesty is the first emperor of the ages, and the three emperors and five emperors are not as good as Your Majesty. The Han Dynasty is growing thriving, and even if the elder brother is gone, there will be countless virtuous ministers and famous generals to assist His Majesty! Huo Guang's answer was still very skillful, and he seemed to be answering Emperor Wu of Han's words, but in fact, he didn't answer directly.

"The queen has arrived...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drove to ......" As soon as Huo Guang finished answering, he heard the news that the queen and the prince had come, and this news also made Huo Guang feel relieved, at least these two people came, and Emperor Wu of Han would not continue to entangle himself with the question just now.

"Chen Huoguang meets the queen and the prince!" Huo Guang hurriedly got up and paid homage to the two people who walked in outside the mourning hall.

"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen my father!" Wei Zifu and Liu Ju also saw Emperor Wu of Han when they entered the mourning hall, and they were a little surprised that Emperor Wu of Han appeared here so early, but they still naturally saluted Emperor Wu of Han.

"Excuse me!" When Emperor Wu of Han saw Wei Zifu and Liu Ju, he really became normal. At least his expression returned to the Emperor Wu of Han that Huo Guang was familiar with.

"Anyang Jun is exempt, please mourn!" Empress Wei Zifu also said to Huo Guang, she and Huo Guang met for the first time, Huo Guang also quietly looked at this legendary queen of the Han Dynasty, between her eyebrows and Wei Qing is really a little similar, and she does not lose her spirit in the martial arts, which is also the type that Emperor Wu of Han likes.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Huo Guang knelt on the ground and didn't plan to get up, anyway, he spent the night in this mourning hall tonight. And Wei Zifu and Liu Ju didn't say anything to Huo Guang, they all walked straight to Huo Quai's coffin, and looked at Huo Quai's remains sadly outside the coffin.

Huo Quzhi is not only the big backer of the two Han ministers, but also the closest relatives of the two, this kind of sadness is not contrived, let alone for the sake of play, but really sad.

"Tomorrow morning, the court will discuss the burial of the hussar general, and Anyang Jun will also come to the court tomorrow. I went back to the palace first. Emperor Wu of Han suddenly said something to Huo Guang, and then turned around and left. When the queen and the crown prince arrived, he only stayed for a moment and left.

"Obey the order!" Huo Guang hurriedly responded, and now he couldn't help but get up, Huo Guang could only stand up and send Emperor Wu of Han out of the Champion Hou Mansion, and then hurriedly returned to the mourning hall.

At this time, Wei Zifu and Liu Ju were still standing in front of Huo Quzhi's body and wept silently. Huo Guang stepped forward and opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak again and again, but after all, he didn't say anything, and knelt down in his position again.

"Your Majesty, do you want to inform the old lady of the death of the Hou Ye?" Huo Tong, the head of the Hou Mansion behind Huo Guang, asked in a low voice, although Huo Quzhi did not explain anything clearly, but everyone in the Hou Mansion knew it. Before Huo Huan became an adult, everything should be decided by Huo Guang.

"Hold off for a moment...... I don't know what happened to my father's condition. Is there any news from Binh Duong lately? Huo Guang pondered for a moment and said. On the day he opened the mansion to marry Li Yan, he planned to take Huo Zhongru and his wife to Chang'an, but at that time, it was said that Huo Zhongru was also ill. Later, Huo Guang went to Hanoi County, and he had no time to take care of this matter. I don't know what Huo Zhongru's situation is now? If Huo Zhongru's illness is not cured, then this news will undoubtedly aggravate Huo Zhongru's condition.

"This ...... The king asks for forgiveness, since Hou Ye fell ill, he has not sent anyone to Pingyang. The old slave didn't know the situation with the old lady either. "Although Huo Tong is the head of Huo Quai's Hou Mansion, he has never intersected with Huo Zhongru, and since Huo Quzhi was sick, he has no mind to think about other things.

"Forget it. You've worked hard these days, too! There are also many servants in Pingyang who serve the second elder, and if there is really something, someone should come to Chang'an to report the news. "Huo Guang is not harsh. It's not the time to blame anyone. He also wanted to start a family business for Huo Zhongru with Huo Quai's illness, but Huo Guang was really not too worried.

Now Huo Guang's greatest concern is to discuss the future generations of Huo Qu's illness tomorrow morning, according to history, Huo Qu should be buried with Maoling after his death, but Huo Guang's opinion will definitely be consulted on specific matters at that time, it stands to reason that this should also be Huo Qu's go, but it is impossible for a six-year-old child to do these things.

Then Wei Zifu and Liu Ju stayed for a while, and the mother and son left together. It seems that Wei Zifu and Liu Ju are not very close to Huo Guang, a relative, and both of them treat him as courtesy, no wonder after all, Wei Zifu and Liu Ju have family affection for Huo Quai, but they have no family affection for Huo Guang.

Huo Guang didn't force this, he didn't want to do this to these two people, family affection has no foundation, and it can't even be cultivated.

After the queen and the crown prince also left, there was no outsider in the Champion Hou Mansion, they were all subordinates in the mansion. In fact, the news of Huo Quzhi's death has not spread yet, because there is no official notice, and even Huo Quzhi's henchman Zhao Ponu does not know the situation now.

And the second half of the night tonight is also a busy night for Huo Guang, first arrange the affairs of tomorrow's house, and send people to notify those who should be notified, at least Huo Quai's henchmen like Zhao Ponu Lu Bode must be notified, many of these people are still generals who are released to various counties or frontiers, originally the news of the death of the hussar general, the imperial court will also branch the counties, but I don't know if it will be a few days later, and Huo Guang will be notified of these people as soon as possible. Because at least half of these people will continue to be Huo Guang's supporters in the future.

As soon as Huo Qu's illness died, these former generals' henchmen also lost their backers and spokespersons in the imperial court, and some of them would definitely vote for others, but there must be many people who would miss Huo Quai's illness and continue to support Huo Guang. If Huo Guang was just a Chang'an Order, then there would definitely be no one to support him, because that level was not enough to represent the interests of these people. But Huo Guang is now a dignified Anyang monarch, and he has quelled the Hanoi Rebellion, so he can definitely have a place in the court, which is worthy of those Huo Quai's former generals and cronies to take refuge.

Huo Guang knew in his heart that the biggest legacy left by Huo Qubing was this group of henchmen. Smoothly receiving this huge political force is Huo Guang's real top priority.

In the dead of night, there was silence in the mourning hall of the Hou Mansion. At this time, Huo Guang suddenly said loudly: "The next few days will be extremely busy, Huo Tong, you take the others to rest first, you have to cultivate enough spirit to be able to make the scenery for the future generations for the Hou Ye." Twelve guards can stay! ”

Huo Guang said righteous words, Huo Tong couldn't refute anything, thinking about the next few days, it was indeed the case, so he left with the rest of the people. When only Huo Guang and the twelve guards were left in the mourning hall, at this time, Huo Guang suddenly stood up, faced the twelve guards and said: "Hou Ye's last ......"

The twelve guards have followed Huo Quai's birth and death for many years, and no one can match the degree of loyalty, and they will not be less sad than anyone else. However, under the baptism of war all year round, the twelve guards became cold, and even if they were full of grief in their hearts, their faces were still as cold as ever.

But when Huo Guang said the words 'Hou Ye's will', the twelve guards all changed color. Then he knelt respectfully on the ground, although Huo Qu died of illness, his order was still irresistible to the Twelve Guards.
