Chapter 57: Chang'an Order

After returning to the Champion Hou's Mansion from Jiawutai, Huo Guang's mentality changed dramatically. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" The two have already discussed on the road, and after returning home, Huo Qubing will resign the prince for Huo Guang to hunt in the forest. Of course, it would be better for Huo Qu to come forward in this matter, at least it would not make Huo Guang have a gap with the prince so early.

Huo Guang was in the mansion for most of the afternoon waiting for the prince's subordinate officials to come to deliver the decree, because although the prince invited Huo Guang that day, Huo Guang did not give a clear reply, and the prince would send someone to deliver the decree again in the regular process.

However, in the end, the left and right did not wait for the prince's subordinate officials, but waited for the palace attendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and this chamberlain of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also came to pass the decree.

"Your Majesty has a decree to pass on the great Sima Hussar General Champion Hou Huo to go sick, and Huo Guang in the Cao service. Tomorrow, he will go hunting with His Majesty's guard of honor to Ganquan Palace. The chamberlain left a piece of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and left in a hurry, and it seemed that he had to go to the mansions of many ministers to deliver the decree.

Huo Guang was stunned at first when he heard that there was his name in the will. You must know that this is the first time that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has summoned him in public, although he is only an attendant official, but this shows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has changed his strategy towards himself, which also means that his snow hiding period is finally coming to an end.

"It seems that the "Feng Zen Book" is really useful." Huo Guang couldn't help but think in his heart that he estimated that he was enabled by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty so quickly, and Sima Xiangru's "Feng Zen Book" must have played a role. Of course, Huo Guang and Huo Qubing didn't know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had promised the title of Marquis of Guannei for that, and Huo Guang as the person who dedicated the "Feng Zen Book", if it was strictly calculated, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should also give Huo Guang the title of Marquis of Guannei.

"It's good now, so that you don't have to shirk the prince. Tomorrow we will go to Ganquan Palace together! Huo Qubing smiled and said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's will obviously wanted Huo Guang to gradually come to the front of the stage, and Huo Quzhi was also very satisfied with this.

"Hehe, this father and son are really interesting, the son took his cronies to Shanglin Yuan to hunt, and Lao Tzu took the minister to Ganquan Palace to hunt......" Huo Guang was a malicious slanderer in his heart, Emperor Wu of Han saved himself a lot of trouble, and at the same time, Huo Guang also began to look forward to this official meeting with Emperor Wu of Han.

It was from five o'clock to seven o'clock in the morning, and before the second day, Huo Qubing rushed to the gate of Weiyang Palace with Huo Guang and the twelve guards. Originally, the minister's travel with the emperor was protected by the emperor's guards, and the minister's personal guards could not accompany them, but Huo Qubing and Wei Qing were special cases. They were allowed to accompany the private guards.

When the sky was slightly bright, the frame of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was surrounded by the guards and left the Weiyang Palace. At this time, the accompanying officials were also present one by one, waiting for Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Guang found that there were many of his acquaintances among the people who accompanied Emperor Wu of Han to hunt this time. Among them, Shi Yizong, Zhao Ponu, and Li Dang were all impressively listed, and the most surprising thing for Huo Guang was that he also found Sang Hongyang in the crowd. ( Pingnan Romance)

"Isn't it really a bitter family?" Huo Guang thought in his heart, but in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang didn't dare to show anything, even if he pretended not to know Sang Hongyang.

Ganquan Palace is located in Xianyang, which is a full 300 miles away from Chang'an City, and such a distance is not something that can be reached in a day and a half. According to the plan, we will leave early this morning, and we will not be able to reach Ganquan Palace until tomorrow afternoon, which is two days.

In fact, Ganquan Palace is similar to the Chengde Summer Resort in later generations, and it is a place for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to escape the summer heat. Originally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty usually went to Ganquan Palace to live in May every year, and then returned to Chang'an Weiyang Palace in August. However, this year, because of a series of events such as the Battle of Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been busy until now to have time, although there is still a month to August, but it has not discouraged the interest of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to go to Ganquan Palace.

The so-called Ganquan Palace hunting is just a beginning, if you really want to talk about the hunting place, it is naturally the best place to go to the forest garden. However, the emperor and the crown prince have always seemed to not like to stay together, and I don't know if Emperor Wu of Han's father and son arranged it on purpose.

There is the emperor's guard of honor to open the way, and the road is naturally calm. On the evening of the second day, the mighty team entered the Ganquan Palace smoothly. That night, as usual, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his entourage had a banquet, this time Huo Guang accompanied him as a servant of Zhu Cao, so he was naturally also included in the banquet, and he also had his own separate seat, and his status was higher than that of Sang Hongyang.

"Ladies and gentlemen, rest well tonight, and hunt with me tomorrow." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wore regular clothes, picked up the wine bottle and drank with the ministers. This is not a court meeting, let alone a temple, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also showed an approachable side. Of course, no matter how approachable he is, the emperor's majesty is still there, so few of the ministers are really open, and most of them are still very restrained.

The emperor's trip can't really be a vacation, no matter where he needs to work. The banquet did not last long before it dispersed, and most of the courtiers returned to the arranged place to stay, but a few were left behind by Emperor Wu of Han, so there should be some political matters to discuss.

Huo Guang belongs to the category that can go to rest, and Huo Qubing and Yizong were left behind by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Ganquan Palace is also a palace group like Weiyang Palace, and the accompanying courtiers are all arranged in the 'Bamboo Palace'.

Because Zhao Ponu and Li Dang were also there this time, Huo Guangzhi didn't know anyone, and when they returned to the Bamboo Palace, the three of them didn't fall asleep, but got together and chatted. It is very common for small gatherings like this to be in groups of three or five in the Bamboo Palace, but in the Gaoguang Palace, where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is at the moment, several ministers are sitting in danger.

"I just received information from the Western Regions, Zhang Qian has arrived in Qiuzi Country two months ago, and is currently on his way to Wusun Country. However, judging from the information sent back by Zhang Qian, the countries of the Western Regions began to move again, and there were even signs of uniting with each other. I intend to send a general to garrison the Jade Gate to prevent the Western Regions from plotting against each other. Hussar general, who do you think is more appropriate? "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left a few important ministers to discuss military affairs, and at this moment they are discussing the affairs of the Western Regions. Zhang Qian and Yuan Jia went to the Western Regions again in the fourth year, and the time of their visit was about the same as when the Battle of Mobei broke out, and now Zhang Qian should be on his way to Wusun Kingdom.

"The minister thinks that it is feasible for Lang Zhong to order General Li Kang, General Li Kang is young and good at fighting, and the Li family has been good at fighting the border for generations, so it is most suitable to send him." Huo Quzhi thought for a moment and then recommended Li Kang to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. His reasons are also sufficient, Li Kang is also a famous Han general, and his father Li Guang has indeed accepted it for a lifetime.

"Well, this matter is not in a hurry, and I will discuss it with the courtiers after returning to Chang'an." Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said, but it was a false shot, and he did not continue to discuss the matter, but dragged this matter until he returned to Chang'an. Of course, this is indeed a big deal, you must know that it is an extremely important position to be stationed in Yumen to monitor the countries of the Western Regions. Not only can he hold heavy troops, but he will also be the vanguard of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in sweeping the Western Regions in the future.

"Chang'an ordered Yin Qi to be honest and decisive. I want to move him to the governor of Guannei, as for the vacant position of Chang'an Ling, do you have a suitable candidate? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty no longer mentioned the matter of the Western Regions, but turned the conversation to the current Chang'an Ling Yin Qi.

This Yin Qi can also be regarded as a cool official during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and this person is also highly appreciated by Zhang Tang, in fact, it was Zhang Tang who strongly recommended Yin Qi in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to reuse him. And this Yin Qi and Zhang Tang are indeed very similar, both of them are cool officials, but they are both equally incorruptible, both of them have a family property of no more than fifty gold after death, and they don't even have money for the funeral.

Huo Quzhi squinted his eyes and seemed to be a little distracted, and he never expressed any opinion on the arrangement of Huo Qubing by these officials who governed the place. However, Nei Shiyi has always heard that his body has always been in his body, because Yin Qi is now his subordinate, and who will replace Chang'an Ling after Yin Qi leaves is also what he cares about.

"There is no candidate for the minister, I wonder if Your Majesty has a suitable candidate?" The righteous elf is very good, and he can't hear the meaning of Emperor Wu of Han's words. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was asking if he had a candidate on the surface, Yi Zong noticed that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was asking if there was a candidate? The implication is that I have a suitable candidate, and even if I have it at this time, I can only say no, because he can't go to grab a county order seat with the emperor.

"I suddenly thought of someone, what do you think of Huo Guang, the younger brother of the hussar general?" Emperor Wu of Han paused for a moment and said suddenly, as if he had only remembered Huo Guang by chance.

As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mentioned Huo Guang's name, Huo Quzhi and Yizong both moved their eyes. Neither of them expected that the candidate for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be Huo Guang, since Huo Guang was involved at this time, Huo Qubing naturally cheered up.

"This ...... Chang'an makes things complicated, Huo Guang is only afraid that the age is a little inappropriate!" Prime Minister Li Cai said with some embarrassment, Chang'an Ling's status is not high, but the position is special, although it cannot be ranked in the court, but it has always had some weight in the court. Li Cai didn't have any selfish intentions this time, but Huo Guang was indeed a little young.

"Hussar General, how old is Huo Guang this year?" Emperor Wu of Han thought for a while, and seemed to have begun to consider Huo Guang's age, and then asked Huo Quai.

"Back to Your Majesty, my brother is fifteen years old this year!" Huo Qu replied decently and didn't say anything.

"Fifteen! Actually, it's not small. I was only sixteen years old when I ascended the throne, and it shouldn't be a big deal to be a thousand-stone county magistrate at the age of fifteen. What do you think? Emperor Wu of Han whispered, as if he was talking to himself.

As soon as Emperor Wu of Han said this, no one dared to say anything anymore. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that he was only sixteen years old when he ascended the throne as emperor, then the fifteen-year-old Huo Guang was nothing compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he became a Qianshi County Order. Even Li Cai didn't dare to object at this time, if he objected again, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was too young when he ascended the throne?

At this moment, Huo Guang was already lying on the bed, and he was indeed a little tired from the trip in the past two days. And he didn't know that in the Gaoguang Palace not far away, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had decided to serve as the Chang'an Commander in a few words.
