"Kannaihou? The price offered by His Majesty is really tempting! It's a pity that I, Sima Changqing, am already a dying person, and I have no heirs under my knees, so what good does the position of Marquis do to me? Sima Xiangru said with a wry smile, but the implication was that he was not moved by the title of Marquis of Guannei. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa

"Then what does Brother Changqing want? I will tell your Majesty for you. Man Qian continued without giving up, as if he felt that maybe Sima Xiangru felt that the title of Marquis of Guannei was too low. In fact, I have to say that the price offered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is indeed high enough, you must know that in this period, most people spend their lives just fighting for the title of Marquis of Guannei, look at Li Guang to know that this title is not so easy to get!

"I have nothing to love in my life, all the wealth and fame are all fleeting, and this time I disappointed Brother Man Qian!" Sima Xiangru said indifferently.

"I'm not disappointed, but you have to disappoint Your Majesty again!" Man Qian also said helplessly, it seems that he has experienced this situation many times.

"Brother Changqing, you can be honest in front of me, have you finished that thing? Just now, as His Majesty's envoy, I have finished asking, and now it is Dongfang Shuo who asks you as a friend. Man Qian's expression suddenly changed and she continued to ask. And Huo Guang was still guessing the identity of this person outside, but he didn't know that this person was the famous 'Zhisheng' Dongfang Shuo during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Man Qian was the word for Dongfang Shuo.

Sima Xiangru did not answer Dongfang Shuo immediately, but looked directly at Dongfang Shuo, and shook his head slightly after a while.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head regretfully when he saw this, and didn't say anything more. However, at this time, Sima Xiangru suddenly opened his mouth and asked Dongfang Shuo: "Brother Man Qian, do you know that the champion Hou Huo is sick in addition to the people of the Wei family, do you have any close relatives by his side?" ”

"Brother Changqing, why did you suddenly ask this? Haven't you always looked down on Huo Quai? Dongfang Shuo looked at Sima Xiangru with some surprise, in his impression, Sima Xiangru no longer cared about the affairs of the DPRK and China since he was bedridden, and the rapid rise of Huo Qu's disease was not treated by Sima Xiangru.

In fact, Dongfang Shuo is not like this, since ancient times, literati have arrogance, people like Sima Xiangru and Dongfang Shuo think that they are unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately they are only middle-level officials who have struggled all their lives, and Huo Quzhi has risen in just a few years, and he has been a very popular minister in the year of the weak crown, which may also have an element of jealousy.

"If the dying man can't even see through this, then won't my life be in vain? In fact, you and I have to admit that the champion Hou Nahe's great exploits are indeed real, and this person is only a weak champion, but he does not have the arrogance of becoming famous as a teenager. Sima Xiangru seems to have seen everything very clearly, and now he has changed his previous views and persuaded Dongfang Shuo to come.

"Then you just hate me for not being born at the right time!" Dongfang Shuo sighed, there is still a gap between him and Sima Xiangru after all, Sima Xiangru can understand these things if he dies, but Dongfang Shuo still only feels that his talent is just born at the wrong time and has not been well displayed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. You haven't answered my question yet! Sima Xiangru knew that Dongfang Shuo thought highly of himself, so he didn't continue to say anything, and brought the topic back to the previous matter.

"You don't ask me and I almost forgot, Huo Qubing didn't have any Huo relatives in the past, but after this battle of Mobei, he found his biological father in Pingyang County, and brought back a younger brother named Huo Guang, this son is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, and it is rumored that he is also talented. However, I heard that when I first arrived in Chang'an, I competed with people in Xishi for an advocate girl, and I think he is no different from ordinary gentlemen. Dongfang Shuo told Sima Xiangru what he knew, and he even knew what had just happened yesterday.

"Huo Guang? That person's name is Huo Guang? Oh, yes...... I said how could it be so coincidental! Sima Xiangru suddenly realized that he had determined Huo Guang's identity. At this moment, Sima Xiangru also really realized that if Huo Guang's arrival was instructed by Huo Quzhi, then he had really underestimated Huo Quzhi all along. However, he did not say anything to Dongfang Shuo.

"What? Could it be the boy just now? "Since Dongfang Shuo is called 'Zhisheng', he must have something extraordinary, but when he saw Sima Xiangru's reaction, he immediately thought that the young man he saw just now was Huo Guang.

"Well, that young man's name is also Huo Guang. It should be the younger brother of the champion Hou, but Brother Man Qian doesn't have to worry too much, he just came here and wanted me to teach him the Qiang flute. Sima Xiangru explained.

Huo Guang naturally didn't know that Sima Xiangru and Dongfang Shuo had talked about himself in the end, and at this moment he had already bid farewell to Li Yan and began to embark on the road back to the Champion Hou Mansion. Just when Huo Guang returned to the Hou Mansion, Dongfang Shuo also said goodbye to Sima Xiangru and entered Weiyang Palace directly.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not deal with government affairs, nor did he meet with ministers, but read the books in the "Tianlu Pavilion" alone. The "Tianlu Pavilion" of the Western Han Dynasty is the place where the royal book collection is located, which includes almost all the books in the world. On the other hand, there is the "Shiqu Pavilion" outside Baizhang, which focuses on academic exchanges.

"Minister Dongfang Shuo begs to see Your Majesty!" Dongfang Shuo bowed down and walked into the "Tianlu Pavilion", and did not pass through the communication of the inner servant, but stood behind a row of bookshelves and shouted respectfully.

"Come forward." From behind the bookshelf came the deep voice of Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a habit of liking to read books alone, and at this moment, there were only two monarchs and ministers in the huge 'Tianlu Pavilion'.

"No." Dongfang Shuo got up and walked forward, and after turning a row of bookshelves, he saw Emperor Wu of Han sitting on a wooden ladder, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and his eyes were still on the bamboo slip.

"Say it." Emperor Wu of Han didn't look at Dongfang Shuo, his eyes were still only staring at the bamboo slip and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, although Brother Changqing said on the surface that he did not do what His Majesty wanted, the minister could see that he had actually been working on this matter for a long time, because I found a carving knife and bamboo dust at the head of his bed. However, his physical condition is very worrying, and the minister is worried that his time is running out...... "Dongfang Shuo knows what to say and what not to say." also knew what to say so as not to provoke Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so Dongfang Shuo's answer was very skillful, just avoiding Sima Xiangru's original words. In this way, the meaning is expressed, and it will not displease Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Well, then you always keep an eye out. If Sima Xiangru dies, you will immediately go and get it back for me. Emperor Wu of Han still looked at the book and commanded, Dongfang Shuo didn't know what Emperor Wu of Han was looking at at the moment because of the distance.

"No." Dongfang Shuo replied respectfully, to be honest, he was very reluctant to take this errand.

"Your Majesty, the minister has one more thing to do." According to the normal situation, Dongfang Shuo should have retired and left at this moment, but he thought about it for a while and continued.

"Speak." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always maintained his imperial prestige, and there were no superfluous words when he spoke.

"Chen also met another person at Sima Xiangru's house, and this person is Huo Guang, the younger brother of the champion Hou." Dongfang Shuo wants to talk about Huo Guang, if Huo Guang is just an ordinary person, Dongfang Shuo will definitely not care, let alone tell Emperor Wu of Han about it, but because he is Huo Quai's younger brother, this matter has a certain value.

As Huo Quzhi once told Huo Guang, Huo Guang's words and deeds actually represent Huo Quzhi to a certain extent.

"Oh? Do you know his purpose? This time, Emperor Wu of Han finally took his eyes off the book and looked at Dongfang Shuo and asked.

"According to Sima Xiangru, Huo Guang went to ask for advice on how to play the Qiang flute." Dongfang Shuo replied honestly.

"Oh...... So you've seen him, what do you think of Huo Guang? Emperor Wu of Han was silent for a moment before speaking, but the words he asked surprised Dongfang Shuodu. You must know that asking Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to ask such a thing actually shows that Huo Guang has a certain status in the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"The minister only passed by him, but the minister didn't know!" Dongfang Shuo said without the slightest hesitation, saying this gave people the feeling that he hadn't thought about it or not, and he really didn't have any opinion on Huo Guang.

But whether Dongfang Shuo really has any opinion on Huo Guang, only he knows in his heart. However, one thing Dongfang Shuo is clear, at this time, no matter whether he says Huo Guang is good or bad, it is better to say that he doesn't know.

"Got it, step down!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty returned his gaze to the book and said lightly.

Dongfang Shuo wanted to see what the expression on Emperor Wu of Han's face was at the moment, but he didn't have the courage to look at it, so he just responded respectfully: "The minister retires" and bowed down and withdrew from the 'Tianlu Pavilion'. After exiting Tianlu Pavilion, Dongfang Shuo thought in his heart, should he deliberately befriend Huo Guang? Or stay away?

No one knew what Emperor Wu of Han thought, and Huo Guang didn't know that Emperor Wu of Han had personally inquired about his situation just now. At this moment, Huo Guang is still playing with Huo Yan in the Champion Hou's Mansion, Huo Guang still has some likes for Huo Heng's nephew, and because of his understanding of history, he knows that Huo Quzhi and Huo Heng are both very short-lived, Huo Qu's early death is already a historical unsolved case, and Huo Heng also died when he was only twelve or thirteen years old.

Looking at the cheerful and lively Huo Huan in front of him, Huo Guang couldn't help but ponder in his heart. If there is no other hidden secret, then the cause of the early death of the father and son is likely to be a genetic disease. However, it is a pity that the level of medicine in this era is still quite backward, and it seems that there were no particularly famous doctors during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether there is any historical secret about Huo Quzhi and Huo Heng's death, Huo Guang decided to find a way to find a famous doctor to determine Huo Quzhi and Huo Heng's physical condition.

However, compared to this matter, Huo Guang has one more important matter, and it is a top priority, that is, the gathering in the Changping Marquis Mansion tomorrow. I don't know what kind of major matters Wei Huo's relatives will discuss tomorrow in Wei Qing's Changping Marquis Mansion?
