Keep in mind

address

Zhen Youcai's face was ugly, and he said in embarrassment: "Master Hou said, I want to see you for the last time!" ”

"What? Why are you here now? Why didn't you notify me earlier? Huo Guang suddenly had a feeling of five thunderbolts, and then said to Zhen Youcai with a loud shout, this is the first time he has spoken to Zhen Youcai like this. [No pop-ups. Huo Quzhi actually said the last thing he saw, which shows that his time is running out.

In addition to his resentment towards himself, Huo Guang also blamed Zhen Youcai and even Li Yan for coming, Huo Qu's illness was running out, and they only came to inform him at this time.

"Madame originally wanted to send someone to inform the king, but the marquis strictly ordered not to tell the king, saying that he would not tell the king until Hanoi was pacified." Zhen Youcai hurriedly said, this is really Huo Guang's fault for Zhen Youcai and Li Yan.

Huo Guang's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, but at this time he also calmed down a little, and then ordered: "Prepare the horse immediately, and we will return to Chang'an overnight." ”

"Slow down!" Just as Huo Guang's words fell, Du Yannian's voice suddenly came from outside the house, and at the same time, Du Yannian, Dongfang Shuo, Li Ling and others also appeared in front of Huo Guang.

"Your Excellency, please think twice! Now that the king is leading the troops, if there is no will of His Majesty, he will rashly return to Chang'an, I am afraid that it will attract criticism. This is a big disadvantage for you! Du Yannian continued, but he came to prevent Huo Guang from returning to Chang'an.

"You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind. Of course, I just returned to Chang'an alone, and let Zhen Youcai and Yan Buzhi go back with me, and you all stayed and waited for Your Majesty's will. Huo Guang said resolutely, at this time, even if Emperor Wu of Han issued an order not to let him return to Chang'an. It is estimated that Huo Guang will sneak back.

Seeing that Huo Guang's attitude was so resolute, everyone didn't persuade him anymore. After all, Huo Guang only returned to Chang'an alone, and there was a reason for it, coupled with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's love for the Huo family, there would be no problems.

That night, Huo Guang took Zhen Youcai, who didn't know anything, and the old seven and eight and five people galloped towards Chang'an. At the same time, Chang'an's champion Hou Mansion is also brightly lit, and the entire Hou Mansion is busy at the moment, not only Wei Qing and his three sons are in the mansion, but even Li Yan is busy in the mansion with a big belly. Huo Qu was seriously ill, and Huo Yan was young. During this time, the entire Hou Mansion was still Li Yan's younger brother and sister presiding over daily affairs.

Not long ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent several of the best imperial doctors in the court to consult Huo Quai, and at this moment, these best doctors in the world are still in Huo Quai's room, while Wei Qing and others outside are anxious and anxious.

"General, Your Majesty is here, and you have arrived at the gate of the mansion at this moment." When everyone was anxiously waiting, the people in the palace hurriedly came to report that Huo Quai's illness finally alerted Emperor Wu of Han to come in person, and it is estimated that Emperor Wu of Han also knew that the matter was serious. If Huo Quzhi, the general he relied on the most, fell, it would be an incalculable loss to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the entire Han Empire.

"Let's go. Come with me out to meet Your Majesty. Wei Qing hurriedly said, he is Huo Quai's uncle, and he is the biggest in this Hou Mansion at the moment, so everything is up to him.

"No need, how's the hussar general?" As soon as Wei Qing took a step, he heard the voice of Emperor Wu of Han coming from outside, it seemed that Emperor Wu of Han was also very anxious, and he came in by himself without waiting for anyone to greet him.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty!" Wei Qing and everyone behind him saluted Emperor Wu of Han. And Wei Qing continued: "The imperial doctors are still discussing inside, and the ministers don't know what the situation is! ”

"This bunch of rice buckets. How long have I sent them? Why haven't you had a result yet? Emperor Wu of Han said very unhappily, mainly because Huo Qu's illness upset him.

"Su Wen, go and call a doctor to come out, I want to ask what's going on?" Emperor Wu of Han really wanted to go in and have a look, but he also knew that this was not the time for him to go in and cause trouble, so he asked Su Wen to call a imperial doctor to come out and ask questions.

Soon a physician came out of the house, and this person was about to pay a salute to Emperor Wu of Han. I heard Emperor Wu of Han say impatiently: "No need to be polite, how is the situation of the hussar general?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the hussar general's symptoms are like head wind, but they are a little different. It seems to be more severe than head wind and is also accompanied by vomiting. I have never seen this kind of illness before, and judging from the physical condition of the hussar general, it is very bad! The imperial physician lowered his head and said resignedly, and their group of imperial physicians were also helpless against the situation in front of them.

"What's wrong? I want you to heal the hussar generals with all your might, otherwise what use do I want you? Now I'm going to go in and see the hussar general, but what's wrong? Emperor Wu of Han said with an angry face, he still planned to go in to see Huo Quai.

"No! Your Majesty can go in, but the time should not be too long, the hussar general needs to rest more! The imperial doctor said worriedly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered to die, but they really had nothing to do.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't talk nonsense with this imperial doctor, and then flicked his sleeves and walked towards Huo Quai's room. At this time, no one followed, not even Su Wen, a close attendant, and Wei Qing and the others also stood in place.

Entering Huo Quai's room, there was not no one in it, but three or four maids taking care of Huo Quai, of course, these are not ordinary maids, in fact, they should be regarded as Huo Quai's concubines, and the figure of a child next to the bed is Huo Quai's son Huo Huan.

"Your Majesty...... See Your Majesty! Huo Yan felt someone appear behind him, and subconsciously glanced back. Although he is not very old, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has also seen him a few times.

"No need to be polite, how is your father?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always been fond of Huo Heng, and reached out to stroke Huo Heng's head and asked.

"Father just fell asleep." Huo Yan whispered, at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set his eyes on Huo Quzhi on the bed, only to see that the originally heroic Huo Quzhi had been described as emaciated, and his eyes were a little sunken.

"Your Majesty is here? Your Majesty! Just when Emperor Wu of Han looked at Huo Quai, Huo Quzhi, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes slightly, and said after seeing Emperor Wu of Han, his body trembled slightly, as if he wanted to get up and salute.

"Lie down, no need to be polite!" Emperor Wu of Han hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Huo Quzhi's shoulder, and said with a concerned expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, you'll all go out first!" Huo Quzhi nodded slightly, and said with a smile on his face.

Seeing Huo Quai's illness like this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt very uncomfortable, originally a man who stood up to the sky, but in just a few days, he became like this, and he couldn't even stand up.

Hearing this, Huo Yan and the others respectfully withdrew from the room, leaving only the two monarchs and ministers in the room. After these people left, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held Huo Quai's hand and said: "The hussar general is recuperating with peace of mind, don't think about other things for the time being, I and the Han can't live without the general!" ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your love, the minister will not be able to repay His Majesty's kindness if he dies, but the minister knows that time is running out, I am afraid that it will be difficult to follow His Majesty in this life, if there is a future minister, he will definitely serve His Majesty again!" Huo Quzhi said in a low voice, but his words were quite coherent and not intermittent.

"Nonsense, I won't allow you to die. Hussar general Huo went to the sick and obeyed the order. Emperor Wu of Han suddenly stood up and said with a slight anger on his face. Then he continued with a serious expression: "I want you to recover as soon as possible, and then lead a large army into Dunhuang County to sweep away the countries of the Western Regions for me!" ”

Just a month ago, the Han Empire set up four counties in the Hexi Corridor: Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang. As an important minister of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing knew the intention of setting up these four counties, on the one hand, it was naturally to strengthen the Han Dynasty's control over the Hexi Corridor, and at a deeper level, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty intended to use the Hexi Corridor as the rear to sweep away the countries of the Western Regions and incorporate them into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of Han did not say any words of comfort, but strictly ordered Huo Qu's illness in the form of the emperor's will. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted Huo Qubing to not die, so he directly handed over the important task of navigating the Western Regions to Huo Qubing at this time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said seriously, but his heart was actually very depressed, because as long as he said a word, he could make people die, but his holy decree could not let a dying person live. In the face of life and death, he, the emperor, is powerless!

"Minister...... Follow...... Purpose! Huo Quzhi was silent for a long time, and his eyes began to moisten slightly. But in the end, he still said this sentence word by word.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for." When Emperor Wu of Han's expression eased slightly, Huo Quzhi spoke.

"As long as it is requested by the hussar general, I will allow it!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said without hesitation, this sentence is really not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to comfort Huo Quai, not to mention that Huo Qubing is dying now, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really did not refuse Huo Quai's request before.

Huo Quzhi's face showed a hint of a smile, and then said calmly: "The minister's younger brother Huo Guang is quelling the chaos in Hanoi County, the minister has not seen him for some time, the minister heard that the chaos in Hanoi County has been decided, the minister asks His Majesty to allow Huo Guang to return to Chang'an in advance, and the minister wants to see him again!" ”

Huo Quai's words were calm, but they were true feelings, and this kind of brotherhood even moved Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that his nose was slightly sour.

"An Yangjun has made another contribution to the Han Dynasty this time, and I will reward him well, and then I will order An Yangjun to return early." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no opinion on this, and directly agreed to Huo Quai's request, and praised Huo Guang by the way.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but after all, your brother is still young, if he makes any mistakes in the future, I hope Your Majesty can open up." Huo Qubing knew that his time was short, so he took this opportunity to ask for a talisman for Huo Guang in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing didn't want Huo Guang to have no backer after his death, at this time he wanted to seek the greatest benefit for Huo Guang, and getting the promise of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was Huo Guang's biggest talisman.
