Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Unsatisfactory Dongfang Shuo

"Huo Guang, what do you mean by this?" Princess Pingyang finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and questioned Huo Guang. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

Huo Guang was not in a hurry at this time, and still said with a calm look: "This is the minister's decision, and the minister also agrees with Li Yan to enter the palace, is the princess still not satisfied with this Li Yan?" ”

"The women obey the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" At this time, Li Yan in Huo Guang's mouth also took a few steps forward and said respectfully to Princess Pingyang.

"Who the hell is she?" Princess Pingyang seemed to have thought of something, and her expression softened slightly, but she was still very puzzled by Huo Guang's move.

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter who she used to be, the important thing is that she is the best candidate, what do you think, princess?" Huo Guang did not answer Princess Pingyang, but asked rhetorically.

Princess Pingyang didn't answer immediately, but she also had to admit that the woman in front of her was on par with the real Li Yan in terms of appearance and temperament, and judging from this woman's performance, she must be very obedient. In fact, as long as these two points are reached, then it is the best candidate to enter the palace.

Huo Guang also suddenly figured out this problem, because no one except Huo Guang knew history, so Princess Pingyang at most felt that Li Yan was suitable to enter the palace, rather than thinking of Li Yan as the future Mrs. Li, and even whether Li Yan could get the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and be named Mrs. in the end, these are not what Princess Pingyang can know. And Huo Guang subconsciously regarded Li Yan as the woman of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from the beginning, this is actually the biggest mistake Huo Guang made, and it is also to figure out this place, Huo Guang believes that no matter whether it is Li Yan who enters the palace in the end or not, Princess Pingyang is actually very passable.

Knowing history is the biggest advantage of a traverser, but sometimes it will unknowingly become a preconceived disadvantage of a traverser, if it weren't for Huo Guang suddenly understanding this, he really wouldn't be able to let go like now.

"Well, I admit it. But I don't understand why you're making things so complicated? Princess Pingyang is not stupid, although she agreed that Huo Guang found the woman who replaced Li Yan, but she also pointed out Huo Guang's abnormality in one sentence.

If Huo Guang didn't say that this woman was Li Yan at the beginning, then everything would be watched by Princess Pingyang smoothly, and there would be no gaffe reaction at all, in fact, at the beginning, Princess Pingyang also estimated that Huo Guang would find a woman with a good posture to replace Li Yan. But Huo Guang just wants to make the woman who enters the palace Li Yan, this is to complicate simple things, let alone Princess Pingyang,.

Princess Pingyang's question can be said to be directly aimed at Huo Guang's true intentions, he is so troublesome to do this, it will definitely not be as simple as replacing Li Yan with another person to enter the palace on the surface, but the real intention Huo Guang will definitely not tell others, so he just smiled and said to Princess Pingyang: "Li Yan needs the help of his brother Li Yannian to enter the palace, and if Li Yan is favored once, aren't the Li family's parents and brothers all imperial relatives?" ”

Huo Guang's answer seemed a bit far-fetched, but Princess Pingyang really didn't pursue it anymore, at least on the surface, she didn't say anything more. In fact, if this Li Yan entered the palace, if she could not get the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then her life would definitely be trapped in the Weiyang Palace, and naturally she would not have any connection with the people of the Li family. Either she was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then at that time, in fact, no matter whether she was really Li Yan or not, the people of the Li family would only regard her as Li Yan, because if she recognized it, she would be a relative of the emperor, and if she didn't admit it, it would be the crime of extermination.

As for worrying about Princess Pingyang or Huo Guang's crime of bullying the king, it is purely superfluous. Because in the eyes of Princess Pingyang and Huo Guang, Li Yan is just a name, and perhaps the most unstable factor comes from the Li family brothers, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, when the Li family brothers found out that Li Yan in the palace was not their sister, they had no choice, and the only thing they could do was to admit it.

So this seemingly reckless decision was actually deliberated by Huo Guang.

"Well, I'll take care of the rest. But you owe me a favor this time! Princess Pingyang sat in the seat, less serious than before, and said to Huo Guang with some jokes.

"The princess remembers the princess's kindness in her heart, but one day the princess will find that she has made an extremely correct decision today!" Huo Guang bowed his hand and said, he was full of confidence in what he said, as if Princess Pingyang would really get a huge reward from him one day. ( Pingnan Romance)

"Come on, arrange a place for Li Yan." Princess Pingyang instructed outside the door, and soon there would be a maid with Li Yan. And Huo Guang achieved his wish, there was no need to stay, and left after bidding farewell to Princess Pingyang.

"What does this Huo Guang want to do? Where is the real Li Yan? After Huo Guang left, Princess Pingyang said to herself, and the doubts in her heart were not gone.

Huo Guang walked out of Princess Pingyang's Mansion and returned directly to the Champion Hou Mansion. As soon as he returned to the mansion, Huo Guang found the chief manager Huo Tong: "Huo Tong, you send someone to Taizhong Doctor Dongfang Shuo's Mansion to spread a message, just say that I will prepare a little wine in the mansion tonight, and invite Mr. Dongfang to come and drink alone." Remember to do what I said and arrange it! ”

"No, don't worry, the second master, I'll arrange it, it just so happens that the old slave is going out to run errands, and I will personally go to the second master to pass the word." Huo Tong hurriedly responded, he had served Huo Qu for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions was also very good, although Huo Guang said it easily, but Huo Tong could feel that inviting Dongfang Shuo this time was a big deal for Huo Guang, so he didn't dare to slack off, and decided to do it himself.

Huo Guang waited for Dongfang Shuo in the mansion all afternoon, he didn't worry that Dongfang Shuo would not come, because today happened to be the day of rest. The so-called rest is the vacation of later generations, and this rest originally referred to the habit of bathing every five days, and later the government stipulated that one day off after every five working days is called rest day, which is very similar to the weekend in later generations.

At dusk, Dongfang Shuo really arrived as promised. And Huo Guang had already prepared a banquet in the courtyard.

Dongfang Shuo was also slightly surprised to see the banquet in this courtyard, because there were few people who kept the banquet outside the house during this period, but Huo Guang was also a little novel when he made it like this, which was very much in line with Dongfang Shuo's appetite.

"Hehe, Chang'an Ling's actions are always eye-catching, and it's really pleasant to sit and talk about drinking under this month!" Dongfang Shuo said with a smile on his face, and Huo Guang was already sitting there waiting for him.

"Mr. Dongfang, please!" Huo Guang stood up and pointed to the position opposite him.

"Please!" Dongfang Shuo returned the salute and sat opposite Huo Guang.

"I took the liberty of inviting Mr. over tonight, Huo Guang didn't delay Mr.'s good deeds, right?" Huo Guang said with a smile, and scooped a spoonful of wine into the Dongfang Shuo wine bottle. The sake of this era was not placed in a flask, nor was it poured into a wine glass, but was scooped directly into the bottle with a wine pan.

"Chang'an Ling laughed, if it weren't for Chang'an Ling's kind invitation, I would still be at home with my children, how could I be so comfortable and leisurely!" Dongfang Shuo didn't wait for Huo Guang to lift the bottle, he took a sip first, and then said jokingly. However, Dongfang Shuo does have children, but he is still only seven or eight years old, and there are very few records of Dongfang Shuo's descendants in history, and Huo Guang does not know much about this aspect.

"Mr. Dongfang is really funny, they all say that Mr. is hidden in the court, but it is difficult for us to have Mr.'s state of mind!" Huo Guang and Dongfang Shuo are already quite familiar, and they still admire the historical saying that Dongfang Shuo is hidden in the dynasty.

"Oh, the Great Hidden in the Dynasty? That's a good analogy! Unexpectedly, the exit of Chang'an Ling is also eye-catching. Dongfang Shuo raised his eyes and looked at Huo Guang in surprise. Huo Guang only reacted at this time, and it is estimated that Dongfang Shuo himself has not yet said that he is 'hidden in the court' at this time.

"Hehe, let the gentleman smile. casually, it can't be compared with Mr. Splendid Article. Huo Guang said humbly.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head when he heard this, and then took a sip of wine to himself, as if Huo Guang's words just now evoked some bad memories for him.

Huo Guang saw Dongfang Shuo's expression, so he didn't say anything, and after a while, Dongfang Shuo sighed and said: "Alas, Chang'an's words reminded me of Brother Changqing's words that day. Brother Changqing said, I am waiting for people like this who can only use words, it is difficult to say whether they can leave a name in history in this life, what is the meaning of this article? ”

Dongfang Shuo seems a little lonely, although the history books record that he called himself 'hidden in the city', but in ancient times, men's ambition is nothing more than to worship the marquis during his lifetime, and leave his name in history after his death.

And Huo Guang has also read some Dongfang Shuo's articles in later generations, even from the article where he recommended Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dongfang Shuo is definitely a person who is not willing to be lonely, but his achievements in life can indeed be described as unsatisfactory.

"Sir is now in the prime of life, and there are still many opportunities to make a difference, and there is a long time to make a big difference. Don't let this situation down! Huo Guang raised the wine bottle, he didn't listen to Dongfang Shuo's nagging when he came to Dongfang Shuo tonight, Huo Guang had his own plans, so naturally he couldn't let Dongfang Shuo get entangled in this matter.

"Yes, this is a good situation, how can you talk about these uninteresting things, come and do it!" Dongfang Shuo is an open-minded person in the end, and as soon as Huo Guang said that, he picked up the wine bottle.

"Okay, let's do it. Xian'er, some more wine! Huo Guang drank the wine in the bottle, shouted at the top of his throat, and asked Huo Xian to serve the wine again.

Not long after Huo Guang's words fell, he heard a sound of footsteps approaching. Dongfang Shuo subconsciously looked back, he just subconsciously wanted to see what Huo Xian, Huo Quai's maid, looked like. Dongfang Shuo looked back and saw a familiar face, he didn't care about it at first, but when he thought that Huo Guang was calling Xian'er just now, Dongfang Shuo's drunken smell dissipated at once.

"Sir, this is my maid Huo Xian. Xian'er still doesn't give Mr. Dongfang a gift? Without waiting for Dongfang Shuo to speak, Huo Guang preemptively said. At this moment, Dongfang Shuo was even more puzzled, and his eyes moved back and forth between Huo Guang and Huo Xian.
