Chapter 43: The Prince Summons

"Back to my uncle, my nephew does have some immature thoughts. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa'" Huo Guang stood up and said to everyone with a slight respect, the people here are the core figures of Wei Huo's relatives, Huo Guang feels that there is no need to hide it, Huo Guang does have some ideas about how to weaken the threat of the three princes to the crown prince Liu Ju.

"Oh, it looks like my cousin is really going to surprise us today." Liu Yun's temperament is relatively lively, and no one usually says anything inconsequential on such a serious occasion, but Liu Yun is an exception.

Of course, there is another factor in this, that is, Liu Yun's status is second only to the crown prince Liu Ju among Wei Huo's relatives. Because according to the Western Han Dynasty title system, the emperor's sister is the eldest princess, and she is the same as the princes. And the emperor's daughter is a princess, and she is the same as the princes. The princes here refer to the princes who are in the country, and the princes and kings are the kings of the feudal kingdoms. However, Princess Dangli is an exception, if nothing else, Princess Dangli should not become the eldest princess until Liu Ju ascends the throne, but because Emperor Wu of Han dotes on her too much, she has become the only one among the princesses to add the princess number.

In other words, in today's gathering, only Princess Pingyang and Liu Yun are from the princes and kings. The ceremonial guards of honor are the same as those of the princes and kings, and what kind of ceremonial guards directly represents the status in ancient times, so in terms of status, they are one level higher than the princes of Wei Qing and others.

"Okay, let Ah Guang speak. I'm also wondering what kind of solution Ah Guang has? Princess Pingyang was also curious about what Huo Guang could do to solve the problem of the three princes. And everyone else also looked at Huo Guang with a curious expression, except for Huo Quzhi, who had already seen Huo Guang's resourcefulness in the Battle of Mobei, everyone else didn't believe that a teenager could come up with any way to solve the problem that gave them all headaches.

"In fact, to remove the threat of the three princes to the crown prince, to directly suppress them is the next policy, the best policy should be to retreat as advance, and use our strength to lift them to the throne. As long as they leave Chang'an, they will no longer be able to threaten the crown prince, and the simplest seems to be to promote the three princes to become kings. Huo Guang said calmly, this method was not actually what he thought of, but the inspiration he had for the extra part of his historical memory.

"yes, that's a good idea. And in doing so, even His Majesty has nothing to say. The crown prince has Ah Guang, this is like Gaozu having to stay in the marquis! As soon as Huo Guang's words fell, Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang couldn't help but slap his palm on several cases. And he actually compared Huo Guang to Zhang Liang in the Han Gaozu period, and the Liuhou is Zhang Liang's title, which is too high!

"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa "This child is really more and more likable the more he looks at it! This time, even Princess Pingyang couldn't help but admire.

"If you want the three princes to enter the country, this matter still needs to be contacted by uncle, brother and cousin-in-law, and the momentum needs to be as big as possible, and it is best to settle the matter in one fell swoop." Huo Guang said again.

In fact, the so-called clever plan is a yang scheme, Huo Guang's meaning is to let Wei Huo's relatives exert their strength, let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty crown the three princes as kings, and then let these three people go to the country. As long as the third son is in the country, he will naturally not be able to threaten the status of the prince, although there is another situation, that is, the third son intends to rebel after the country, but then the prince can only accelerate their demise, after all, the prince occupies the position of righteousness, plus Wei Qinghuo is sick and has a heavy army, and the threat from the princes and kings, Wei Huo's relatives are not afraid.

Huo Guang likes Yang Mou because he knows that any conspiracy actually has a way to crack it, but only Yang Mou is the most difficult to crack, even if the opponent knows the intention but can do nothing. Just like this time Wei Huo's relatives urged the three princes to become kings, with the vision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he must be able to see the intention at a glance, but as the emperor, he can't do anything about it, and in the end he can only choose to make the third son the king.

Once the prince is crowned king, he must go to the country, which is not only a rule handed down by the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, but also a necessary means to maintain the stability of the imperial power, which Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had to maintain. Although the Western Han Dynasty did not clearly stipulate how old the prince should be crowned king, but under normal circumstances, he would be crowned king at the age of thirteen or fourteen, but this is just a convention, and now the eldest of the three princes is only eleven years old, and according to the general situation, it will take a year or two to be crowned king, but if Wei Qinghuo Qubing and others ask Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to crown the third son as the king, there is nothing wrong with a few years in advance.

"Hehe, I thought this matter would be very troublesome, but I didn't expect it to be easily cracked by Ah Guang like this, and now we are a lot easier!" Wei Qing is also in a good mood at the moment, in fact, the question about the three princes has always been a major matter in his and Huo Quzhi's hearts, and now it is resolved by Huo Guang, which is equivalent to a stone falling to the ground. At the same time, Wei Qing also felt that the appearance of Huo Guang made Wei Huo's relatives have successors, which was also a great joy to be happy about.

After these two things were discussed, the purpose of this gathering was achieved, and then the atmosphere eased a lot, as for the matter of inviting the three princes to become kings, this naturally does not need Huo Guang to worry about, and such a big matter, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing also need to contact their cronies, this process is not achieved overnight, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to finalize.

The rest of the story was basically a family chatting together, and then Princess Pingyang and Liu Yun both said goodbye and left one after another. Huo Quai's illness was the last to go, and when he left, Wei Qing also told the three Wei brothers that they should contact Huo Guang from time to time in the future, so that the three brothers would follow Huo Guang more if they were fine. Although Huo Guang only said a few words this time, he left a pivotal position in the hearts of these people.

For the three Wei brothers, Huo Guang is not rejected, and he also hopes to get closer to these three people, after all, these three people are about the same age as himself, and they are Wei Qing's heirs, so they will not conflict with him in terms of interests. It was already night when he left Wei Qing's Changping Hou Mansion, and after returning to the Champion Hou Mansion, Huo Guang did not fall asleep immediately, but sat in the courtyard looking at the sky and pondering.

At this time, the weather is getting hotter, and it is a good pastime to cool off in the yard. Huo Guang looked at the starry sky and began to recall all kinds of experiences after crossing over, now seeing Huo Guang's experience is quite smooth, and now he is fully accepted by Wei Huo's relatives, it seems that the next thing is the beginning of his gradual rise.

Fortunately, Huo Guang is not a blindly optimistic person, although everything is in his favor at the moment, but the known history tells Huo Guang that the now extremely prominent Wei Huo's relatives will fall because of the witch Gu case in more than ten years. Even such a prominent force will overturn overnight, and he may be catastrophic at any time, so Huo Guang will not get carried away.

Now sitting quietly and thinking about it, Huo Guang found that even if he had some understanding of future history, there were some things that were difficult for him to change. For example, in the recent case of Sang Hongyang, although his name knows that this is an opponent who will never die with him in the future, but now he can't get rid of it, and it is foreseeable that soon Sang Hongyang will be reused by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and history is likely to embark on the original path again, Sang Hongyang has risen steadily, and he has no chance to get rid of him for a period of time. Similarly, Jiang Chong, who posed the greatest threat to the crown prince Liu Ju, still doesn't know where he is, and even if he finds it, he may not be able to eradicate it in advance for other reasons.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time. Tomorrow, I'll go to Sima Xiangru to have a look, I always feel that this guy is a little weird, and I can also see Li Yan by the way! Huo Guang didn't bother with the things he couldn't figure out, and sat in the courtyard for a while before returning to the room, planning to continue to Sima Xiangru tomorrow. Until now, Huo Guang has to admit that he is really interesting to Li Yan, because he has only been seen for a day, and he really misses Li Yan a little.

Huo Guang'an slept peacefully that night, and Huo Guang got up relatively early the next morning, because there was still a long way to go to Maoling. At the same time, he also instructed the government to prepare some supplements, and brought them to Sima Xiangru by the way today, whether it is useful or not, it can be regarded as a little bit of his own mind.

Because Huo Guang rode a horse for too long during the Battle of Mobei, he didn't feel like riding a horse anymore, so this time he went out in a carriage, although the carriage in this period was not very comfortable to sit on, but it was less bumpy than the horse's back.

The carriage soon arrived at the Chang'an City Gate, because it was the banner of the Champion Hou Mansion, so under normal circumstances, the city gate sergeant would not check, but not long after the carriage was at the city gate, Huo Guang heard a series of hurried horse hooves behind him in the car, and then someone shouted: "Please stay in front of the Champion Hou Mansion." ”

There was no need for Huo Guang to tell the coachman to stop the carriage, judging from the sound, the person shouting behind him was not hostile, but the driver of the champion Hou Mansion who dared to stop it estimated that the identity of the person who came was not low.

Huo Guang stretched out his head from the carriage and looked back, and saw several soldiers in military uniforms running over on fast horses, but the military uniforms on these soldiers were different from those that Huo Guang had seen, and for a while Huo Guang didn't know what the identity of the person who came.

"It's Lord Huo Guanghuo in the car?" These sergeants came to Huo Guang's carriage, turned over and dismounted, and asked the car very politely.

"It's this official, I don't know who your Excellency is? What's the matter with stopping the officer? As soon as Huo Guang heard that the other party was calling him his official position, he said decently.

"I've seen Lord Huo, and the last general will be the Marquis of the Tai** Guards." The person who came showed great respect for Huo Guang, but even Huo Guang didn't expect that this person turned out to be the person of the crown prince Liu Ju. In the Western Han Dynasty, the military marquis is also known as Quhou, Qu is a military establishment, a song about 500 people. The military marquis belonged to the officers with a rank of 600 stones.

"Oh? I wonder what happened to the military marquis? Huo Guang asked.

"On the order of the crown prince, please invite Huo Shizhong to the palace to meet His Royal Highness the prince."

"Then please lead the way." Huo Guang originally estimated that the prince sent someone to summon him, but he didn't expect the meeting with the prince Liu Ju to come so quickly, and it seemed that his performance yesterday had reached Liu Ju's ears. Huo Guang couldn't refuse the prince's invitation, so he didn't ask anything, and directly let this military marquis lead the way.

According to Huo Guang's original idea, it should be that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned him, he would meet the crown prince again, which would be the most perfect. But now that the crown prince is ahead of Emperor Wu, it can only be like this, fortunately, the impact on Huo Guang will not be too great!
