Chapter 265 Liu Ju and Jiang Chong

"Chang'an news: Prime Minister Shi Qing died, His Majesty took Gongsun He as the prime minister, His Majesty did not set up a thorn history in Hexi, and Jiang Chong was the captain of the school. Zhao Jieyu was also canonized as Mrs. Gouyi. In the main hall of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Dunhuang, Cangwu Jun Dongfang Shuo read the official documents of the imperial court in his hand and said to Huo Guang and some other high-level officials in Hexi.

Now, in addition to Wu'anjun Bai Zheng attacking Dawan, Lucheng Jun Yi Jixuan and Yancheng Jun Gao did not know how to guard the northern and southern frontiers of the Western Regions respectively, other high-level Hexi leaders have returned to Dunhuang, and even Zhao Yinhua, a disciple of Huo Guang who has married a wife, has also returned to the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

"Jiang Chong? His Majesty trusts him so much? What are the upstarts around Your Majesty now? Huo Guang subconsciously said Jiang Chong's name, because he was really familiar with this name, and it was this person who single-handedly led the witch Gu case. Unexpectedly, in the end, this person still won the appreciation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became a high-ranking lieutenant.

"According to the news from Miss Tang, this person has already begun to spy on the magnates of Chang'an and the important ministers of the court for His Majesty a few years ago, and even secretly monitored the Grand Duke. Since the death of Madame Li, this person has been reused by His Majesty again, and now he has become quite powerful in the court. "Du Yannian has been in charge of the correspondence of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and he can also see some news from Huo Tang from time to time, so he knows Jiang Chong very well.

After talking about Jiang Chong, Du Yannian continued: "Now there are four upstarts in the DPRK, the first is this Jiang Chong, and the second is Li Guangli, the commander of Shui Heng. In addition, Zhang Anshi has been promoted to Guanglu Doctor to serve His Majesty, and his Shangshu Order was taken over by Jin Ilyan. Of course, apart from these four people, the little marquis is now highly appreciated by His Majesty."

Hearing Li Guangli's name, Huo Guang and Dongfang Shuo subconsciously glanced at each other. At present, there are fewer and fewer people who know Li Yan's true identity, and Dongfang Shuo is one of them.

"Is Mrs. Hook Yi the strange person that His Majesty found in Hejian County?" Huo Guang didn't talk too much about these upstarts, it seemed that he just asked casually, and then became interested in the emperor's new favorite, Mrs. Gouyi.

Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is over fifty years old, which is also very old in this era. But I heard that when he was inspecting the world this time, he met a woman who was rumored to have clenched her fists since birth, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty curiously found this woman surnamed Zhao, he asked her to open her clenched right hand, and the hand that had not been opened for more than ten years was really opened under the will of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the woman was holding a delicate jade hook in her hand. This matter also became auspicious, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the woman back to Chang'an, first named Jieyu, and now she has become the wife under the queen.

"It's she, I heard that Your Majesty is now here. The palace favors Mrs. Gouyi, and stays in the Gouyi Palace almost every night. Du Yannian didn't know why Huo Tang even knew where the emperor was staying at night, but he still told what he knew.

Du Yannian's words made everyone in the hall look at each other, and they all showed a look of smiling rather than smiling, and everyone knew in their hearts that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty seemed to want a prince at this age.

"Is Su Wu coming back soon? What's going on with Wu Anjun? A Guishan city has been fighting for almost half a year and hasn't been beaten down? "Huo Guang's matter in Chang'an is over, and he doesn't show excessive concern. He knew that if there was really any major change in Chang'an, Huo Tang would inform him as soon as possible. And although Huo Guang has been away from Chang'an for several years, Du Zhou is still one of the three princes, Lu Bode, Zhu Maichen, and Yang Fu are still ranked in Jiuqing, and it can be said that one third of the court in the Xuanshu Hall is still his Huo Guang's people.

"Su Sicheng should be able to reach the Dawan area in half a year. As for where Wu Anjun did have some changes, according to the news reported back by Wu Anjun, King Dawan seems to have received some kind of funding from powerful forces, and his weapons and equipment are much better than before, and it is said that some mercenaries from Anxi have joined it. Dongfang Shuo reported the recent news to Huo Guang, and Bai Zheng, who had been going well, had indeed encountered trouble in Guishan City recently.

"Rest in peace? Looks like they've noticed us, and these people are going to pick the time...... Isn't this the time when Sulla has no time to look east? Huo Guang stood up slowly, not showing any displeasure because of Bai Zheng's obstruction, but still had a consistent smile on his face.

Seeing Huo Guang, all of His Highnesses also stood up. These people have long been accustomed to Huo Guang's every move, and they know what decision Huo Guang is likely to make at this time.

"Cangwu Jun and Yi'an Jun will go to Dawan with the Governor of Bendu in person, and maybe they can meet Su Wu in Dawan at that time." Huo Guang decided to go to Dawan in person, and he was accompanied by Dongfang Shuo and Li Ling.

It's the annual Mid-Autumn Festival night again, the lights in Chang'an City are brilliant, and the West Market has opened the night market tonight as usual, a tradition that has gone through more than ten years since Huo Guang. In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still took the queen prince and the important ministers of the court to hold a moon worship ceremony, but the moon was worshiped every year, and the years were similar, but the years were different.

Today's Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is full of white hair, and his figure is a little rickety. Although Empress Wei Zifu is still full of black hair, the wrinkles on his face can no longer be concealed, the best age for this pair of emperors and queens has passed, but the crown prince Liu Ji behind them is now walking with dragon and tiger steps, and his mature face is more and more dignified, but he also has some momentum of the future emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The courtiers who worshiped the moon behind Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were very different from previous years, with many fewer old faces and many unfamiliar faces, including Jiang Chong, Li Guangli and others.

In the backyard of the Hou Mansion of Anyang, a large group of women sat together. On the stone table under the moon, on a delicate lacquer plate, there are several palm-sized, inch-thick round cakes with beautiful patterns.

"Sister-in-law, this is sent by the second brother from Dunhuang Kuaima, I heard that this thing is called moon cakes, or the second brother made it himself!" Huo Tang picked up a mooncake and handed it to Li Yan, telling the origin of this thing.

"An'er, Chengjun, you can eat too." Li Yan held the moon cake, and felt a little like seeing things and thinking about people. Then he squeezed out a smile on his face and said to a five-year-old boy and Huo Chengjun, who was already in his teens.

"Thank you, Niang (Auntie)" The two children happily grabbed the mooncakes, and then said respectfully to Li Yan. Two years ago, Li Yan couldn't stand Huo An calling her the housewife, so she asked him to change her name to the eldest mother.

"Mother, I want to take Andi to the night market, let's go, okay? We will definitely be obedient and not cause trouble for our mother. After eating a few bites of moon cakes, Huo Chengjun stood up and leaned on Li Yan and said coquettishly. Huo Chengjun is a lot older than Huo An, although she didn't know that Huo An was her own brother, but the relationship between the two has always been extremely good, and Huo Chengjun has always been like an eldest sister and takes good care of Huo An.

"Thinking about playing all day? Are you done with your homework for today? Before Li Yan could speak, Huo Tang looked at Huo An with a serious face, and his tone had no room for change.

"Back to my mother's words, it's all done!" Huo An was very afraid of his adoptive mother, and replied quietly with his head down.

"Sister, An'er is still young, don't put too much pressure on him, today is a festive day, you might as well let their sisters and brothers go out to play." Li Yan said a little unbearably, usually Huo Tang is very strict with Huo An, and sometimes Li Yan will come forward to support.

Huo Tang's face was a little soothed, and he still said to Li Yan seriously: "Sister-in-law, An'er is a man, and there are many things waiting for him to do in his future, since his surname is Huo, he can't lose the face of his second brother." If we can't train him to become a talent, what will you and I look like to see the second brother in the future? ”

Li Yan looked like she wanted to say something when she heard this, they couldn't tell Huo An's identity now, and even Huo An himself thought that he was really just the adopted son of the Hou Mansion. As an adopted son, his task is to study hard and work for the Marquis of Anyang when he grows up in the future.

"Oh, Aunt Tang..... You just promised this time, the river lanterns in the night market are beautiful, I heard that the first time the river lanterns were put back then, my mother took people to go, so you let Andi go to see it. Huo Chengjun found that her strict aunt had the final say in this family, she gave up being coquettish to her mother, and went away like Huo Tang.

"Forget it..... Never mind..... I'm afraid of you little girl. This is the only time to take this example! "Huo Chengjun is the pearl of the entire Hou Mansion, and even Huo Tang is obedient to her.

Seeing his mother nodded, Huo An was also overjoyed, after all, he was still a five-year-old child, although following Huo Tang made him a little precocious, but new things and playfulness were still his nature, so the two children, one older and one young, went out of the Hou Mansion happily under the strict protection of dozens of guards.

Huo Chengjun's safety in Chang'an Li Yan and Huo Tang are not worried, because her father is the Marquis of Anyang, the only governor of the Han Dynasty, and now has hundreds of thousands of troops to guard the Western Regions, and the court is full of protégés and former officials, and no one in Chang'an City dares not to give Miss Huo face.

After the banquet in Weiyang Palace, Prime Minister Sun He did not return directly after leaving Weiyang Palace, but was recruited by the prince Liu to Bowang Garden, and now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has built a palace complex called Bowang Garden for the prince.

In the main hall of Bowangyuan, there are not only the prince and the prime minister Sun He, but also Shi De, who has been appointed as the young master of the prince, and Zhao Anguo, the prince's housekeeper. Gongsun He originally lost the title of Marquis of Nan Yi in the last gold case, but because the former prime minister Shi Qing died of illness, Gongsun He took over the position of prime minister. Because Gongsun He is Wei Qing's right-hand man, judging from his position as prime minister, the position of the crown prince Liu Ju is still stable.

"Prime Minister, the matter of the salute has been revealed. This time, my father was really angry, and now he can think of a solution? Liu Ju looked at Gongsun He and said with some hatred.

This Gongsun Jingsheng was born to Gongsun He and Wei Junru. And Wei Junru is the eldest sister of the Wei family, the sister of Wei Zifu and Wei Qing, and the Gongsun He family is naturally the most staunch supporter of the prince. But the more prominent the family, the more good and bad it is, because Gongsun He was promoted to prime minister, and Wei Qing died, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly asked Gongsun Jingsheng to take over his father Gongsun He's position as a servant, and directly ranked Jiuqing. But this Gongsun Jingsheng is a complete gentleman, and he is even more bold in acting, and he even embezzled the military salary of the Northern Army and squandered it. This incident happened to be discovered by Jiang Chong, the commander of Sili, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Gongsun Jingsheng to prison with an edict.

Wei Junru has found the queen to cry several times for this matter, and recently the prince has been anxious. On the one hand, he naturally hated Gongsun Jingsheng, a cousin, and on the other hand, he directly resented Jiang Chonglai.
