Chapter 106 Emperor Wu Weifu
"Wow......"
"Oh my God......"
"How did you do it......"
With Li Ling lifting the blockade, the first batch of Chang'an people who had been waiting for a long time finally crowded into the night market. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" When these people saw countless lanterns blooming together, they couldn't help but exclaim. Then these people couldn't wait to run into the night market, and then saw the dazzling array of goods under the lanterns, and people had unconsciously stopped.
More and more people flock to the night market, in addition to the initial amazement, and then they all integrate into the night market, or stop to enjoy the lanterns, or buy and sell goods, and there are groups of people laughing and chatting about the night market. Soon the night market was very lively, Huo Guang looked at the prosperous night market below with satisfaction, which was not much different from the night market in his impression of the later generations.
Just as the crowd was buzzing, some of the gates on both sides of the street suddenly opened, and then people saw many musicians and dancers appearing and starting to dance, making the night market even more lively. Of course, all this was also arranged by Huo Guang early in the morning.
"Hehe, this Huo Guang is really capable, and it is not in vain for me to help him do this, this situation is really singing and dancing!" In the crowd of the night market, two well-dressed maids surrounded a richly dressed middle-aged lady. The lady looked at the night market and couldn't help but admire.
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of people here, do you want the slaves and maids to go back to the house and call some guards?" The maid beside the lady asked with some concern.
"It's okay, this is the place of Chang'an Order, presumably he is paying attention to the entire night market at the moment, no one dares to mess around with him, let's go inside and take a look." This noble lady is none other than the cultivator who provided Huo Guang with a large number of candles. She knew Huo Guang's plan, as one of the funders of this night market, she also wanted to see what the night market was like, she was low-key and didn't come to the night market with much fanfare, just brought two maids.
In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty led his ministers to worship the Taiyi God and then dispersed. At this time, Empress Wei Zifu said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, tonight is the Lantern Festival, the concubines have prepared a banquet in the palace, please move your Majesty to the Jiaofang Palace, and I will wait for Your Majesty with your Majesty." ”
"Hmm...... I'm afraid not tonight, I have made an appointment with several princes and kings, and tomorrow they will leave for their homeland, and I have something to discuss with the kings tonight. I think it's another day! Emperor Wu of Han said hesitantly, he and Wei Zifu Liu Yi's mother and son had not been alone together for several months, and when he said these refusals, Emperor Wu of Han also felt a little guilty in his heart.
As soon as Wei Zifu heard that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had arrangements with several princes and kings, he didn't say anything at the moment, but just said to Shi Li: "Since this is the case, the concubine will retire, and Your Majesty should not work too hard, please put your body first." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa"
"Thank you for your concern, I know it!" Emperor Wu of Han replied lightly. I don't know if the conversation between the two is superficial or something else.
After worshipping the Taiyi God, there were no other arrangements, and the courtiers also left Weiyang Palace one after another. In fact, everyone knows that there is a night market tonight, and many courtiers left Weiyang Palace and did not go back to their homes directly, but went to the West Market.
Emperor Wu of Han led his attendants into a large hall, and when he entered, the door of the hall was closed, and after a while, the door of the hall opened again, and Emperor Wu of Han walked out of the hall. However, this time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has changed his outfit, and a crown dress has become a regular clothes, and this regular clothes are not what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty usually wears, because the regular clothes on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are only the clothes worn by ordinary rich and noble people, and it is difficult to associate him with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty only by his dress at the moment.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed into the costume of an ordinary person, a group of people wearing ordinary clothes also came out from the rest of the main hall, and these people were all close attendants or guards of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took this group of people to the Honglu Temple quietly, because the Honglu Temple is on the side of the Weiyang Palace, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can go here directly without leaving the palace.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went straight to the place where the King of Jiaodong and others lived, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrived, there were already four or five people in brocade robes waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, including the King of Jiaodong and the King of Jiaoxi, and the other people were also princes and kings.
"Meet Your Majesty!" The clothes of several princes and kings were also changed into ordinary people's clothes, and when they saw Emperor Wu of Han, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"How many of you are ready, right?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the several princes and kings in front of him, these were either his brothers or his nephews, they were the most intimate among the many princes and kings of the Han Dynasty who were the most intimate to Liu Che, and they were also the most trusted princes and kings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, we are all ready." Jiaodong Wang was the youngest among these people, and he said impatiently. ( Pingnan Romance)
"Alright, let's go. King Jiaodong, you can't scream anymore after you go out, remember to call me Uncle Ten. Emperor Wu of Han looked at King Jiaodong and said, because Emperor Wu of Han ranked tenth among the sons of Emperor Jing, King Jiaodong should call him Uncle Ten according to his generation.
After a while, Emperor Wu of Han took several princes and kings, together with more than 20 close guards, and a group of nearly 30 people out of Honglu Temple. Their target is the night market, and this night market by Huo Guang not only makes the entire Chang'an curious, but also Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is no exception. As early as a few days ago, he made an appointment with the king of Jiaodong, and after worshipping the Taiyi God tonight, he went out of the palace and went to see what this night market was like.
Huo Guang stood in the corner tower, taking in the entire night market at a glance, when Xiu Chengjun Jin Custom entered the night market, Huo Guang had already discovered it, and immediately ordered Lao Qi to bring a few people to secretly protect Xiu Chengjun. Of course, Xiu Chengjun is not the only person with status in the night market, but Huo Guang doesn't care much about the others, and most of them Huo Guang doesn't know either, so he can only roughly judge from his clothing and bearing.
"I have to admit that this Huo Guang does have some ability, just in this move, the name of his Chang'an Order will spread all over the Han Dynasty, and perhaps he also has unique insights into the Han economy, but unfortunately I have a deep grudge with him, and I am destined not to become a person all the way!" In the crowd of the night market, there is a special person, Huo Guang also noticed him as soon as this person appeared, although Huo Guang did not have a good impression of this person, but he would not embarrass this person at this time, this person is the big farmer Cheng Sang Hongyang.
Sang Hongyang looked at the scene of the night market, and had to admire Huo Guang's ability, when Sang Hongyang saw the prosperous business in the night market, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. This person is also worthy of being a person who has made great achievements in history, he hates Huo Guanggui and hates it, but he admires Huo Guang's ability very much, of course, Huo Guang also treats Sang Hongyang. This is also the extraordinary thing about extraordinary people, these people can really distinguish grievances.
"In the past, the old man still felt that what Hongyang said was a bit unrealistic to take business as the foundation of the country, but now seeing the scene of this night market, it seems that it is not impossible to build a country with commerce!" Sang Hongyang's side is still Kong Wei and Dongguo Xianyang, and the person who spoke is the current farmer Ling Kong Wei, the three of them came directly to the night market after worshipping Taiyi God, and the time was much earlier than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Kong only said this to Sang Hongyang, because Sang Hongyang was the first person in Chinese history to propose that a rich country should not rely on agriculture, and his idea was to take commerce as the foundation of the country, and agriculture was only the basic guarantee. This method has been confirmed in later generations, but it is rare for Sang Hongyang to have such an understanding two thousand years ago. Of course, almost no one agreed with him during this period, and even Kong, who was a good friend of him, did not agree with him.
Not to mention the experience of Sang Hongyang and others in the night market, Huo Guang has been staring at the entrance of the night market intentionally or unintentionally, when the number of people in the entire night market reached its peak, at this time Huo Guang looked at the entrance of the night market and his eyes suddenly lit up, and when he saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the night market, he hurriedly said to Li Yan behind him.
"Go, let's start putting the river lanterns now." What Huo Guang saw was no one else, it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his party.
Hearing this, Li Yan immediately turned around and went down the corner tower, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty entered the night market, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him. As the emperor of the most powerful empire in the world, Emperor Wu of Han enjoyed everything in the world, but the night market was also a new thing for him, and the scene in front of him was so brightly lit that Emperor Wu of Han was also excited.
"It's a good song and dance to level the peaceful and prosperous world, and the Holy Emperor of the Ancient Dynasty can't reach it, this is the great achievement of His Majesty today." King Jiaoxi said at the right time, and several other princes and kings around him also hurriedly echoed these words. These princes and kings have also never seen the grand scene of the night market, and these words are from seven points of sincere compliment, which naturally attracted the deep approval of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"I heard that this was all made by Chang'an Ling Huo Guang? This man is really talented. The nephew wants to ask Uncle Ten for this person, but I don't know if Uncle Ten is willing to cut his love and let him come to Jiaodong as a minister? "Although Liu Xian, the king of Jiaodong, is young, but he is a person who loves talents, plus he has never done what he wants, and he has heard the rumors that Huo Guang is Qi Xiang, in Liu Xian's opinion, Huo Guang can be Qi Xiang, and he can naturally be Jiaodong Xiang, and he directly asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for someone.
"Hehe, this Huo Guang is still young, let him practice for a few more years!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not directly refuse, but there is no doubt that this is the same as the refusal, there is no doubt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this, which is equivalent to confirming that Huo Guangwei Qi Xiang is indeed a rumor.
"This Jiaodong King is not very old, and he is a little scheming, it seems that this son will have to pay more attention in the future!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't help but think in his heart, the seemingly unintentional words of King Jiaodong, if he thought about it seriously, he had tested Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's attitude too much, and ordinary people might not be able to see it, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty soon found out, and since then he has been a little wary of his nephew.
This is not to say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is suspicious, any emperor is actually suspicious, but to be a successful emperor, you must have a few more eyes than others, and prevention is the foundation of the stability of the empire.
"Hey, what do you see those? It was as if many women had fires in their hands. Just when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and others were walking under the lanterns, another volume of the river suddenly walked out of hundreds of women, these women were holding a river lantern in their hands, these women naturally attracted all the attention as soon as they appeared, and the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his party were naturally attracted to the past.
These women were all the maidservants of the Champion Hou Mansion, and under the leadership of Li Yan, as if they were well-trained, they all bent down and squatted beside the river, and then almost at the same time, they put all the river lanterns that had been lit in their hands into the water. Under the gaze of everyone, the river lanterns move along the water, hundreds of river lanterns float in the water, and the reflection of the river and lanterns adds a bit of beauty to the night market.
In this era, no one has ever seen a river lantern, and at this time, in addition to amazement, there is only praise for beautiful things. Everyone has a new understanding of the night at this moment, before tonight, except for some dignitaries and dignitaries can have some entertainment at home at night, ordinary people are really living a life of sunrise and sunset, but now people find that the night can also be so beautiful, and the concept of night market is imprinted in people's hearts for the first time.
