Chapter 60 The Qilin Hero Du Yannian
A generation of famous generals Li Kang died early, and he didn't die on the battlefield, and the external propaganda was that he was killed by a deer, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not leave Ganquan Palace because of Li Kang's death, but he lost the interest in hunting today.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately authorized Prime Minister Li Cai to accompany Li Kang's body back to Chang'an, so that he could deal with Li Kang's funeral. After all, Li Dang died in Lang Zhongling's office, and he accompanied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to die in Ganquan Palace, which is a veritable death in the line of duty, and it is also customary to let the prime minister preside over Lang Zhongling's funeral.
Li Kang's death also made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lack interest, and when he took away Li Kang's body, he drove back to the palace. The courtiers did not discuss this matter tacitly, everyone was a smart person, and they could see at a glance that Li Kang's death was related to Huo Qu's disease, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that Li Kang was killed by a deer, so Li Kang must have been killed by a deer, and then naturally, this matter has become a taboo in officialdom.
That night, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have a banquet with his ministers, which was regarded as mourning for Li Kang's death. However, although Li Kang is dead, the living still have to eat, and in the bamboo palace, many ministers still gather in groups in a room to eat and chat.
Huo Guang was originally alone tonight, because Zhao Ponu was also locked in the room alone, after all, he and Li Dang had fought side by side for many years, and the two still had a friendship, although Zhao Ponu would not feel that Huo Qu should not kill Li Kang, but Li Dang's death would also make Zhao Ponu's emotions fluctuate.
When dusk was approaching, the palace people of Ganquan Palace brought food to each courtier's room. Huo Guang closed the door and was about to start eating, but at this time, someone suddenly knocked on his door.
"Who?" Huo Guang asked, and he was already walking towards the door, intending to open the door.
"Master Huo is me...... Righteousness. There was a voice outside the door that answered, and it was the voice of Yizhong.
"What is he here for? But it's okay, I was going to talk to him, and it was just in time. Huo Guang didn't expect that it would be Yizong who came to find him, but after thinking about it, Yizong would be his top boss in the future, and he planned to communicate with him anyway, since he came, he would save himself trouble.
"It turned out to be Lord Neishi...... Hey? Isn't this Du Zhongcheng? Huo Guang greeted Yizong, but as soon as he opened the door, Huo Guang found that there was more than Yizong outside the door, and there was Du Zhou in the Imperial History standing next to him.
"Hehe, Du Zhou came uninvited, Lord Huo won't be unwelcome, right?" Du Zhou said jokingly with a smile on his face. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" In the imperial history, Cheng is the Yu Lu of Zhong Qianshi, and his level is not too high, and he is on par with Huo Guang now. However, as the number two person in the Imperial History Mansion, the power of the Imperial History Zhongcheng is extremely great, and it is not comparable to ordinary Qianshi officials!
"Lord Zhongcheng laughed, I don't know how many people in this Han Dynasty want to invite Zhongcheng, but they can't invite it, Lord Du can come to me, it's too late for Huo Guang to be happy! Don't stand and talk, two adults, please come inside! Huo Guang said politely, the imperial history of all dynasties and dynasties cannot be provoked. Not to mention that Du Zhou will succeed Zhang Tang as the imperial historian in the future, even now Huo Guang will not offend him. Besides, although Du Zhou and Zhang Tang are cool officials, they are also cadres who do things in a real way, which even Sima Qian praised when evaluating these people, and Huo Guang still agrees with these people very much.
A room like Huo Guang was specially built by Ganquan Palace for courtiers. The room was relatively large, in addition to a bed, there were a few small cases in the house, and Huo Guang and the three of them sat down separately.
"What's the matter with the two adults?" Huo Guang, as the master, naturally asked first, and he also knew that it was impossible for these two people to come to him for no reason.
"I'm familiar with Master Huo, so I won't say any polite words. Now we all know that Your Majesty will appoint you as the Chang'an Commander soon, since everyone will have to work together in the future, it is better to get to know each other more now. Yi Zong spoke directly, and sure enough, there were no polite words, and he immediately expressed his intention.
In this era, there were no institutions such as Jinyi Weidongchang in the later Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not prohibit courtiers from communicating privately, so even if the relationship between Yizong and Huo Guang may be special in the future, there will be any problems if they meet or even befriend now.
"In the future, I will be a subordinate of the internal history, and there are many places that need to rely on the inner history, I heard that the adult has also made the Chang'an order, I don't know if the adult can teach me?" Huo Guang responded politely to Yizong, but he has always been curious, Yizong has a reason to come to see him, but Du Zhou is an official of the Imperial History Mansion, and he can't fight with his eight poles, so what is his purpose?
"That's not to be true. With a brother like the Great Sima Hussar General, how can I teach Yizong! However, I have also been in Chang'an for two years, and I do have some experience. "Yizong didn't dare to hold up in front of Huo Guang, mainly because Huo Quzhi's status was too high. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a scorching sun in the hearts of the courtiers, then Huo Quai's image is a big mountain, and with such a big mountain for Huo Guang to rely on, who would dare to underestimate it?
"Oh? Please also give me advice! Huo Guang hurriedly said, it seems that there is really something dry in the righteousness of the heart and the way.
Yi Zong smiled, he was also very satisfied with Huo Guang's performance and reaction. Yi Zong is a low-level small people who started from the end of the world, and he has no strong background. So his background makes him generally not look down on those powerful children, and Huo Guang is also a powerful child, and this powerful person is a bit too big, but what makes Yizong satisfied is that Huo Guang does not have the attitude of other powerful children.
"Chang'an County has a special location, and the things under its jurisdiction are complicated, which can be described as a thousand things. And in such a position, it is completely impossible to deal with it by one person, and what Chang'an Ling needs most for the first time is a few capable and reliable helpers. Yizong still said with a smile on his face.
Huo Guang looked at Yi Zong thoughtfully, and then looked at Du Zhou. In fact, these words said by Yizong are exactly the same as what Huo Quzhi said, but Huo Guang thought about it, Yizong must have a purpose in saying these words.
"Is it here to ask for an official? But why should it be arranged under me, with the identity of these two people, it is easy to arrange a small official! Is it spying on me? It can't be either, unless these two don't want to live anymore. Do you want to make a political investment in me? It's possible, I don't know who they want to arrange? Let's take a look first! Huo Guang thought quickly, and soon thought of the true purpose of Yi Zong and Du Zhou's coming.
It is basically impossible to say that Yi Zong wants to arrange someone to be an undercover agent next to Huo Guang, because with Huo Quzhi's power, these small actions will not work at all, and will even directly cause Huo Quzhi's counterattack. Li Dang had just died, unless Yi Zong was tired of living, he would never dare to make a wrong decision to Huo Guang.
Huo Guang didn't answer, but waited for Yizong to continue, but at this time, Yizong didn't continue to speak with his previous words, but set his eyes on Du Zhou.
Before the Han Dynasty, the cool officials were more honest, which has a lot to do with the fact that they inherited Legalist thoughts. However, among the many cool officials, Du Zhou is an exception, although this person also started from the end of the micro, but he knew the way to accumulate wealth after becoming an official, and accumulated a huge fortune in more than ten years. And Du Zhou is also one of the few cool officials who can die well, which also shows that Du Zhou is a person who knows how to be an official very well, which is a hundred times better than his predecessors Yi Zong and Zhang Tang.
"Is it Du Zhou's man? That's right, Yi Zong is honest and upright, he shouldn't come to ask for an official, but Du Zhou is very likely, he must have taken a fancy to the forces behind me, but I don't know who he wants to arrange? Huo Guang was keenly aware of the subtle changes, and quickly judged Du Zhou's intentions.
Sure enough, at this time, Du Zhou opened his mouth and said, "Speaking of which, I have to bother Master Huo." My young son always wants to do something all day long, and I can only come to beg Lord Huo to see if I can arrange an errand for him in the county office. ”
Du Zhou finally tried to see the dagger, and Huo Guang didn't care much about his words at first. However, when Du Zhou talked about the young son and prolonging the years, a name suddenly appeared in Huo Guang's mind, and then because of this name, Huo Guang almost jumped up excitedly.
"I've seen it a few times in Yannian, this son has studied laws and regulations since he was a child, and he is indeed a young talent!" Yi Zong said at the right time. He is also telling the truth about Yizong's character, in fact, Yizong is quite upright, he knew that Du Zhou's youngest son did have some talent before agreeing to recommend, of course, recommending Du Zhou's son is also equivalent to building a line between him and Huo Guang, and this matter is also a double win for Yizong.
"Du Yannian? I don't know what the names of Lord Du's eldest son and second son are? Huo Guang was excited in his heart, but on the surface, he still asked quietly, he wanted to make sure that Du Zhou's son was the Du Yannian he knew.
"My eldest son was named Yanshou, and my second son was named Yankao. Now he is serving in Henan and Hanoi Taishou Mansion. Du Zhou didn't know why Huo Guang suddenly asked about this, but he still said immediately.
As soon as he heard the names reported by Du Zhou, Huo Guang's heart was even more excited. Xin said: "Sure enough...... Sure enough, it was Du Yannian. Hahahaha, Sang Hongyang appeared, and Du Yannian also appeared, it seems that this is really providence! ”
For others, Du Yannian is just a name, but for Huo Guang, it has a special meaning and a pivotal role. As early as when Sang Hongyang appeared, Huo Guang thought of Du Yannian. Because in history, the final duel between Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang was Du Yannian who played a decisive role, and the conspiracy of Sang Hongyang and others was reported to Huo Guang by Du Yannian. Then in the decades when Huo Guang was in power, Du Yannian was his most powerful assistant and staunch follower, and in the end, the two were jointly listed as the eleventh heroes of the Qilin Pavilion!
"In that case, why don't you find a time for me to meet with Yannian Gongzi!" Huo Guang said quietly, although his heart was far from being so calm as it seemed on the surface, but after such a long time of cultivation, Huo Guang had already refined his joy and anger!
Yizong and Du Zhou were overjoyed when they heard this, although Huo Guang didn't say anything, but since they talked about meeting, it was equivalent to agreeing. This also achieved the purpose of the two of them's trip, but they never knew that Huo Guang was actually happier than them.
