Chapter 108: Loyalty? Chung Sheji?
Huo Guang lowered his head and stepped into the Xuanshu Palace, they didn't look at Emperor Wu of Han who was sitting on the imperial platform, nor did they look at the courtiers sitting on both sides, he just looked at his feet. When Huo Guang crossed the high threshold of the Xuanshu Palace, he took nine steps forward, then stopped and bowed to Emperor Wu of Han in front of him. He shouted in his mouth: "Minister, Chang'an ordered Huo Guang to meet Your Majesty." ”
"It's him...... It turned out that he was Huo Guang...... "Huo Guang walked into the Xuanshu Palace, which naturally attracted the attention of the courtiers. When Zhuang Qingzhai saw Huo Guang, he was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the young man on Cuihua Mountain was Huo Guang. However, Zhuang Qingzhai rose because of Li Cai's crime, and from the bottom of his heart, Zhuang Qingzhai was still a little grateful to Huo Guang, after all, the crucial news was revealed to him by Huo Guang.
"Chang'an Order, last night's night market is being discussed at today's court meeting, and Da Nong Cheng asks for the permanent opening of the night market. As the initiator of the Night Market, I and the ministers would love to hear your opinion. Can the night market be open permanently? What does it take to open a night market? Emperor Wu of Han's gaze fell on Huo Guang, and his voice was still calm. The geometry he asked naturally refers to those lanterns, because this thing is still a new thing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to the night market, knowing that the role of the lantern is the foundation of the opening of the night market, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is still more pragmatic, first of all, he is concerned about the cost.
"Back to Your Majesty, the night market will be opened permanently, and the minister feels that the conditions are not yet ripe. Rather than being open permanently, it is actually better to choose some special days to open regularly, such as the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. "Huo Guang is actually not in favor of the permanent opening of the night market, because the productivity of this era determines that the night market can only be held like a certain celebration, if you make a night market every night, with the current productivity and the wealth of ordinary social classes, at most it will be traded at the time of the night market, but in this way, the serious market during the day is completely useless, this kind of upside down Huo Guang will not do it, and the consumption of the night market lights is also an expense, do it every day, who will pay for it?
"It's interesting to look at those lanterns of different colors, I don't know what they are called? How much is each one worth? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still didn't say anything, and then asked Huo Guang about the lanterns.
However, as soon as Emperor Wu of Han said this, the hall was shocked, because Emperor Wu of Han's words were tantamount to telling the courtiers that the emperor of the Han Empire was also in the night market last night. For Huo Guang, who had already seen Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was not very surprised at this time, but seemed calmer than the courtiers.
"Back to Your Majesty, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the market can also be called lanterns. There is also a floating river that can be called a river lantern. Because its shape resembles a lotus flower, it can also be called a lotus lamp. The production process of these two lamps is not complicated, but it is very valuable, speaking of which, there are so many lanterns and river lanterns this time, and thanks to the great help of Xiu Chengjun. What is really valuable to these two lamps is the candles placed in them, and all the candles this time are provided by Xiu Chengjun, and they are worth more than a thousand gold! Huo Guang told the story, and put out the river lanterns and lanterns one by one, and at the same time, he did not forget the credit of cultivating the king's gold customs, and this night market was indeed a complete cultivation of the king, otherwise Huo Guang really couldn't get such an effect. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa
"Oh! More than a thousand gold candles are used? It seems that it is still a bit difficult to open the night market permanently! As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that his sister Jin Shu had provided candles worth thousands of gold, he also knew that the current opening of the night market was completely symbolic than practical.
Huo Guang's words were also heard by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and even Sang Hongyang, who was the first to advocate the permanent opening of the night market, dispelled his thoughts when he heard it, he needed a thousand gold to support it overnight, even if it was supported by the treasury.
"In this way, Chang'an Ling then presented the idea of the night market in the form of a report, and it is not possible to open it permanently, as Chang'an Ling said, choose some days every year to open the night market." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still had a plan in his heart, so he didn't have to listen to the courtiers anymore, so he settled this matter.
"No!" Huo Guang responded, it is not difficult to write a report.
"This matter will be discussed later, so let's talk about the reward for the Chang'an Order!" As soon as Huo Guang's voice fell, Emperor Wu of Han continued to speak. This time, the courtiers had already expected it, because just now Zhuang Qingzhai had already proposed to reward Huo Guang, but Huo Guang did not expect that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would really reward himself for this.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Without waiting for Emperor Wu of Han to speak, Huo Guang took the first step to speak. This is not a transgression, but a normal act of court.
"What does Chang'an Ling have to say, please speak!" Emperor Wu of Han said in a calm voice, but there was also some politeness in his words. Before the advent of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the status of kings and courtiers was not as different as later generations imagined. While respecting the king, the king also needs to respect the courtiers.
"The night market is held for the people of Chang'an, and the minister is the Chang'an order, and this move is also the responsibility, and the minister does not dare to invite credit. Besides, if the night market can be successfully held, the minister has only made a meager effort, even if he has merit, it should be the merit of cultivating the king. Huo Guang opened his mouth to shirk the credit, but after all, the night market was too moving, and it was impossible to completely cover up the credit, so Huo Guang launched Xiu Chengjun again.
"Well, I have my own reward for the merits of Xiuchengjun. If you don't reward your merits, why do the subjects of the world use their lives for the society? Spread my will, Xiu Chengjun made a contribution to the preparation of the night market, and specially sealed hundreds of food estates, and rewarded thousands of gold. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't think much about it and directly made an order, this reward is also extremely rich, and Yifeng 100 households is already a great reward. As for the reward of 1,000 catties of gold, it is actually equivalent to the money that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to pay for the night market, because the night market has been recorded in history after all, this is a grand scene beyond the rule of the legendary ancient Holy Emperor, and it can be regarded as the credit of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, since it is his own credit, there is no reason for Xiu Chengjun to pay for it, even if it is his own sister!
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty announced his will, and the courtiers said in unison. For these rewards, to put it bluntly, it is the business of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself, and there is really nothing to say except to praise Shengming.
"Chang'an ordered Huo Guang to come forward and listen to the seal." Without waiting for Huo Guang to react, Emperor Wu of Han continued, which did not give the other courtiers any time to react.
Huo Guang was slightly stunned and understood, and hurriedly stepped forward and took nine steps, and then bowed again, waiting for Emperor Wu of Han's next words. ( Pingnan Romance)
In fact, at this time, everyone was curious about what kind of reward Emperor Wu of Han would give Huo Guang. Because under normal circumstances, the rewards for courtiers are predetermined, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obviously wants to reward casually at this moment. At this moment, most people feel that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may give Huo Guang a title, which should be about the same as Sang Hongyang's Zuoshu Chieftainty. And Huo Guang doesn't have a knighthood yet, so such a reward is logical.
I saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pause for a moment, and then said in a calm tone as always: "Chang'an made Huo Guang a young man who was smart, and sacrificed stirrups in the Battle of Mobei, which made my Great Han Battle of Mobei an unprecedented victory. ”
As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened his mouth, he did not say that Huo Guang had contributed to the opening of the night market, but that he had contributed to the sacrifice of stirrups during the Battle of Mobei a long time ago. This made all the courtiers confused, and Huo Guang was also puzzled. However, just when everyone was puzzled, Emperor Wu of Han's voice continued to sound.
"In the autumn of the fourth year of Yuanzhen, he presented the classical book "Feng Zen Ceremony", which is due to the community and should be rewarded." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said another credit of Huo Guang, at this time, the courtiers seemed to understand something, and they all looked at Huo Guang in surprise, and then looked at Emperor Wu of Han curiously. Huo Guang felt that Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have something to say, and at this moment, his heartbeat had quietly accelerated a lot.
Sure enough, after saying this, Emperor Wu of Han continued: "Later, Yu Chang'an ordered him to improve the art of papermaking and dedicated it to benefit the world. This merit is very great, and it should be rewarded. "This time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is talking about Huo Guang's improvement of papermaking techniques and his selfless achievements.
At this time, the courtiers also discovered that this Huo Guang had only been in the past two years since he appeared, but he had already done a lot of great things, and each of them had directly changed the course of history and affected the entire era. And when Huo Guang heard the words of Emperor Wu of Han, even with his heart and the city, he couldn't help but be excited at this moment.
"Today, we have made great achievements, opened the Chang'an Night Market, and shaped the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Today, 300 households in Anyang County, Hanoi County are its food towns, and they are named Anyang Jun! As Emperor Wu of Han uttered his last words, the entire court fell into a brief silence. No one expected that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would directly crown Huo Guang as the king, which even Huo Guang himself never expected.
"Don't look at you calling me today, maybe one day we will be on an equal footing!" At this time, Huo Guang couldn't help but recall what Xiu Chengjun Jin Shu said to him a few days ago, it seems that at that time, Xiu Chengjun already knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the intention of making Huo Guang the king.
Huo Quai, Wei Qing and others were also in the court, and they were naturally happy that Huo Guang was awarded the title of Anyang Jun. You must know that in the feudal society, if strictly speaking, the official position only represents what you have to do, and the title represents your status and the privileges you enjoy, and the more important thing is that the official position cannot be hereditary, and the title can be hereditary, and it is for the benefit of future generations.
"It turns out that Your Majesty has already had this plan, and the last holy decree a year ago is already preparing for Huo Guangfeng Anyangjun!" Zhuang Qingzhai advocated rewarding Huo Guang, although Huo Guang was also unexpectedly awarded Anyangjun, but he was still very happy. And at this time, Zhuang Qingzhai also remembered the last will of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a few years ago. Changing Chaoge County, Hanoi County to Anyang County, it turned out that its real intention was here, that is to say, from that time on, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already preparing for Huo Guangfengjun.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" When all the courtiers were still thinking, Zhuang Qingzhai took the lead in saying, and his words were equivalent to reminding others, and then Huo Quai, Wei Qing and others also echoed one after another.
"Chen Huoguang thank Your Majesty!" At this time, Huo Guang also reacted, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him, this time it was a real big bow. Of course, there must be a relatively formal ceremony for the specific feudal monarch, and at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would personally confer the seal on Huo Guang.
In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named Huo Guang as Anyang Jun, and this title itself is also very meaningful. Although strictly speaking, the monarch in the Western Han Dynasty is not as good as the Hou. But it is worth noting the word 'Anyang'. Because Han belongs to fire, and fire is yang, the meaning of Anyang could not be more obvious!
"Anyangjun, please get up, I have high hopes for Anyangjun, I hope that you will think about the society, live up to me, live up to the common people!" Emperor Wu of Han's tone was still calm, but this made Huo Guang really have the urge to report to the society.
Of course, whether Huo Guang wears it or not, he is a person of Huaxia himself, if he is able to do so, of course he hopes that Huaxia can prosper, become prosperous, strong and prosperous, and the people are safe, and what he is doing now is still to promote the development of the entire Chinese society. Huo Guang may not necessarily be loyal to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he is definitely loyal to Sheji.
