Chapter 72 (I) The True Intentions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Regarding Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's unexpected summons this time, Huo Guang did not tell Huo Quai, he felt that the less people knew about this matter, the better, and it was estimated that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not want too many people to know. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

The next morning, Huo Guang still got up early and went to the county office, although he didn't have to go to the court meeting, but the county government also had the regulations of the county government, whether it was Chang'an County or the counties, there was also a regular meeting every morning. Huo Guang, as Chang'an Ling, naturally has to preside over the regular meeting of the county government every day, and today is his first day of presiding, so he naturally has to go to the county government very early.

In this way, the daily regular meeting of the county government is very simple, mainly the county governor and the officials of Cao Zuo report their work, and then put forward some difficult issues for the county order to decide. However, there is nothing important to discuss at this meeting today, firstly, these officials in the county government have not yet figured out Huo Guang's temper, and no one said anything on the first day, and secondly, Huo Guang's mind is all about entering the palace to see Emperor Wu of Han in the afternoon, and he is also a little absent-minded about this meeting.

After the meeting, it was the official office time of the county government, and the county official Zhang Ji and the officials of Cao returned to their workplaces, and even Li Ling took the county officials to patrol the streets. In the end, Zhen Youcai and Du Yannian remained, Zhen Youcai is now mainly following Huo Guang's side to learn more, and Du Yannian is the main book, so he is naturally by Huo Guang's side at any time.

"Yannian, are you familiar with Zhang Anshi, the son of the Imperial Doctor?" Huo Guang wanted to come to Du Zhou is Zhang Tang's right-hand man, so Du Yannian is likely to be familiar with Zhang Anshi, but he wants to learn about Zhang Anshi from Du Yannian.

"Why did the adults suddenly ask about this? Zhang Anshi is now Shang Shuling, and he is around His Majesty almost every day, and this person has a withdrawn personality and rarely interacts with people, and I have only met him a few times. Du Yannian was a little curious about why Huo Guang suddenly asked Zhang Anshi, but he still told what he knew.

"It's nothing, it's just that I met him by chance yesterday, and I think this person has a weird personality, so I just asked." Huo Guang said casually.

"That's right, that's how he is, as far as I know, he has never associated with the children of the powerful in Chang'an. I heard others say that even when he met the Imperial Doctor in the palace, he looked like he was doing business, but His Majesty was very important to him, and the position of Shangshuling also began with him. Du Yannian thought for a while and continued, his words were a little ridiculous, but it was difficult to hide his admiration for Zhang Anshi.

Shang Shuling's official position is indeed from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, just like Huo Guang's Cao servants, they all appear in the official sequence for the first time, and both of them also belong to the official positions of the inner court, and they can enter and leave the forbidden palace. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" is Zhang Anshi and Zhang Tang both looked businesslike when they met, which surprised Huo Guang, there are many cautious people, Huo Guang also belongs to such a person, but Huo Guang can't meet Wei Qing Huo to meet with illness without personal feelings at all, but Zhang Anshi can, no wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looks at him differently.

"No wonder in history, after the death of Zhang Tang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only did not belittle the Zhang family, but also important Zhang Anshi, and finally the Zhang family became the top noble family in the Western Han Dynasty. Huo Guang also had to admit that Zhang Anshi's approach was the best choice during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even the path chosen by Huo Guang was extremely similar to Zhang Anshi, and to some extent, he and Zhang Anshi also belonged to the same way.

This morning, Huo Guang was always absent-minded in the county government, and finally waited for Shen, Huo Guang straightened his robe and walked to Weiyang Palace on foot. The reason why he didn't ride a horse or ride a car, Huo Guang also thought it through, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't want people to know, then Huo Guang could only try to keep a low profile.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time Huo Guang has come to Weiyang Palace, although the last time he saw the prince was also in Weiyang Palace, but it was only a small part of Weiyang Palace, not the main building. This time, Huo Guang chose to enter the South Palace Gate of Weiyang Palace, which is rarely passed.

Although there are no more people here, the guards of Weiyang Palace are still extremely strict. There are no less than hundreds of soldiers guarding the Nangong Gate, and each city gate has a city gate captain, Huo Guang took the initiative to show the official seal of Zhu Cao's servant, and it was very smooth to get there at the city gate. Then after waiting for a long time, a chamberlain came out of the palace and led Huo Guang into the palace. However, after entering the Nangong Gate, Huo Guang could only walk along a straight road, and if Huo Guang walked out of this road, a sergeant would naturally come to capture him.

Soon Huo Guang was led to Jinhua Palace, but this time the inner servant did not pass it on, but just led Huo Guang outside the hall and left by himself. This time Huo Guangliang was there, and it made him really embarrassed.

After standing for a while, Huo Guang found that no one came to this place, and there was not even a passer-by for a long time, and then Huo Guang slowly pushed open the temple door, only pushing the temple door open a gap, enough to squeeze in, and then entered the hall and closed the temple door.

The Jinhua Hall is not big, it looks like it is only as big as a hundred square meters in later generations, but Huo Guang found that there are many windows on both sides of this hall, and there are many curtains hanging in the apse, and the air convection of the windows on both sides makes the curtains in the hall flutter, so that there is a mysterious feeling in this hall.

"Minister Chang An ordered Huo Guang to meet Your Majesty!" Huo Guang only saw the flying curtains, and did not see the figure of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, of course, it may be that the figure of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was blocked by these curtains. So he stood at the door and shouted to the temple, and the sound was not loud or small, and it should be enough to spread throughout the whole temple.

It was so mysterious from the beginning, Huo Guang became even more nervous in his heart, I don't know what Emperor Wu of Han is singing?

"Are you still used to what Chang'an Ling does?" After a while, the figure of Emperor Wu of Han came from behind the curtain, but Emperor Wu of Han did not let Huo Guang in, but directly asked him if he was used to the habits of Chang'an Ling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, everything is fine!" Huo Guang's answer was still decent, although he couldn't see Emperor Wu of Han, but he still kept his head down, and his eyes were only on his feet.

"I haven't been here for more than ten years, do you know what I was doing last time?" Emperor Wu of Han's voice seemed a little erratic with the flipping of the curtain.

"I don't know!" Huo Guang really didn't know why Emperor Wu of Han suddenly said this, but Emperor Wu of Han hadn't been here for more than ten years, Huo Guang estimated that the last time Emperor Wu of Han appeared here, he must have done an important thing, and today Emperor Wu of Han also summoned himself here, and the significance is extraordinary.

"In the sixth year of Yuanguang, the Xiongnu army pointed directly at the upper valley, and I ordered Wei Qing to be the general of the chariot cavalry and lead 10,000 cavalry to meet the battle. In that battle, my great general smashed Dragon City and returned with a great victory. became the first general of my Han to enter the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and since then the counterattack of our Han against the Xiongnu has begun. Before that expedition, I met Wei Qing here! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said with memories in his voice, but these few words were full of pride, as if he had returned to the moment when the Han Empire took the initiative to attack the Xiongnu for the first time more than ten years ago.

Huo Guang was also very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that after more than ten years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned him here again, and the last time he summoned him here was Wei Qing, and it was at that time that Wei Qing began to create a military legend. Huo Guang knew that the sixth year of Yuanguang was 129 AD, exactly 11 years ago. And the dragon city is the place where the Xiongnu sacrifice heaven and earth, and it belongs to the holy land of the Xiongnu. Originally, the famous verse in history 'But make the dragon city fly in, do not teach Humadu Yin Mountain.' Originally, it was also about Wei Qing and Li Guang, but it was misread by later generations and misinterpreted as the flying general Li Guang, so that people forgot that it was actually Wei Qing who smashed Dragon City!

Huo Guang just listened to Emperor Wu of Han and said that he didn't intend to interject. Sure enough, Emperor Wu of Han didn't mean to let Huo Guang answer, and after a pause, he continued: "You come forward. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke, Huo Guang naturally lowered his head and stepped forward, crossing the curtains, Huo Guang finally felt that the figure of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appeared less than three meters in front of him, until now Huo Guang did not look at it with his eyes, but only felt it. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said just now, and most people would feel flattered, because the implication seemed to be that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regarded Huo Guang as Wei Qing ten years ago.

"At that time, I only said one word to the general!" Emperor Wu of Han continued, as if he was looking for Huo Guang today to recall the past, but Huo Guang knew that Emperor Wu of Han had definitely not entered the topic, so he listened carefully, and his eyes moved with the footsteps of Emperor Wu of Han on the ground.

Emperor Wu of Han hadn't said that sentence yet, but at this time, Huo Guang's eyes moved with his footsteps, but he saw something on the ground, which made Huo Guang's heart move, it turned out to be the broken Kong Ming lantern that Dongfang Shuo was going to go to yesterday.

"Where is Emperor Wu of Han's goal?" Huo Guang instantly understood that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty must have summoned him for Kong Ming Lantern today, but Huo Guang couldn't think of it, what was there about this thing worthy of being treated like this by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

"I only told Wei Qing one sentence, that is, 'I will not be subject to the life of the king outside'. Sure enough, my general did not disappoint me, although you are only a Chang'an order now, but I also want to tell you, don't have any scruples, let it go! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this sentence to Huo Guang a little unbearable, which is equivalent to raising him to the same height as Wei Qing, but Huo Guang knows that the higher the emperor holds you, the more he asks for you, the key is that Huo Guang's current age and qualifications are not enough, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has the heart to support him, Huo Guang does not have this life to have it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Ministers should do their best to live up to Your Majesty's love! Huo Guang's answer is quite skillful, and he does his best, which means that he can't do anything if he exceeds his ability. Huo Guang estimated that after he said this, Emperor Wu of Han should go straight to the topic, and he would be able to know his true intentions.

"Well, that's good! That's right...... I heard you made this thing? Emperor Wu of Han hummed, and then stopped beside the Kong Ming lantern, at this time Huo Guang finally raised his head slightly, and saw Emperor Wu of Han pointing to the Kong Ming lantern on the ground with a smile.

Huo Guangxin said: "It's really for this Kong Ming lantern, but what does Liu Che want to do?" Seeing me in such a formation, this should be a big deal, but what does this have to do with Kong Ming Lantern? ”
