Chapter 72 (II) Deceiving the people of the world

Questions appeared in Huo Guang's heart, but Emperor Wu of Han was right in front of him, and he didn't have much time to think, Huo Guang could only answer: "It was done by Weichen, but this method was also taught by an old man, and this thing is called Flying Lantern." ”

"Oh, flying lights? So this thing can really fly in the air, but it looks like it's incomplete, is there something missing? Emperor Wu of Han showed great curiosity about the Kong Ming lantern, but he also found that this Kong Ming lantern had a few burned vines, and there should be something missing, and he didn't believe that such a thing in front of him could fly.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is a piece of cloth soaked in lamp oil underneath, and it can only fly after it is lit, and the core of the entire flying lamp is on this fire." Huo Guang bowed down and said, there is no doubt that Emperor Wu of Han's focus today is on this Kong Ming lantern, even if Huo Guang doesn't know Emperor Wu of Han's true intentions, it is impossible to hide anything.

"Good, good! What a magical object, the fire on Chang'an City the night before yesterday was emitted by this thing, right? Emperor Wu of Han turned slightly, stared at Huo Guang and said. This time, Huo Guang didn't expect that even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw the Kong Ming lantern he put the night before yesterday.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister let go of a flying lantern the night before, but I don't know if it was said by Your Majesty!" Huo Guang's answer was very cautious, Emperor Wu of Han kept holding this Kong Ming lantern and said, Huo Guang vaguely guessed some of Emperor Wu of Han's intentions, but as soon as this idea appeared, Huo Guang also had to admire Emperor Wu of Han for being really too imaginative.

"Well, that's good. You said that if this flying lantern is placed over this Chang'an City, will Chang'an City be able to never have a dark night? Emperor Wu of Han asked Huo Guang in a hopeful tone.

"Back to Your Majesty, although it is not difficult to make flying lanterns, the duration is not long, and it is not impossible for thousands of lights to fly together, but at most it will last for a quarter of an hour, and it is impossible to use them to illuminate Chang'an!" Huo Guang was already a little sure of his guess in his heart, it seems that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really wanted to use Kong Ming Lantern to create a magnificent scene of 'Chang'an Weiyang', you must know that in this superstitious era, if Chang'an City, as the center of the world, can never be dark, it will push the rule to an unprecedented height without suspense. If there really was such a grand scene, any Ancient Holy Emperor would be overshadowed.

"Huo Guang, I ask you. I want Chang'an Weiyang, even if it's only a quarter of an hour, you can do it? What do you ask for! Emperor Wu of Han suddenly waved his sleeves and said in a firm tone. Sure enough, as Huo Guang guessed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to use Kong Ming Lantern to completely create a grand scene of a vision from the sky, and this vision was even more grandiose, so that Chang'an Weiyang could regain the light in the dark night.

I have to admit that the idea of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is indeed very creative, and it will indeed become an extremely grand vision in this era. Moreover, this situation of using fire as a vision was also the best vision for the Han Dynasty. Because since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties have the theory of the five virtues, for example, the Qin Dynasty is water virtue, so it is still black. And the Han Dynasty is precisely the fire virtue, and red also has a special status in the Han Dynasty. The rulers of the Han Dynasty believed that they were the descendants of Yao, the descendant of the fire god Zhurong, and if the fire floated over Chang'an, this did not just confirm the Han Dynasty's own statement.

Therefore, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw the floating fire of the Kong Ming lantern for the first time, such an idea had already germinated in his heart, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that if during his reign, the sky rained fire in Chang'an Weiyang, that is, God was showing that he was the true son of heaven and the great descendant of the god of fire, which would undoubtedly make the rule more stable, more legitimate, and let the world return to the heart. At the same time, he Liu Che also has the name of the real orthodox Shengming, so it will be a matter of course to seal Zen Taishan!

This is simply asking Huo Guang to help Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deceive the people of the world and play a big drama for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, to achieve this scene, at least a thousand flying lanterns are needed, although it is not difficult to make flying lanterns, but this requires a lot of paper......" Huo Guang knew that he had to agree to this matter, and if he didn't agree, he had to agree, and there was no room for bargaining at all, unless he really didn't want to live. It is not difficult to make flying lanterns, but it is difficult to make paper in this era, which is not very common, and the existing paper is from the residual fiber residue after making fabrics, and then precipitates to form paper, and the special manufacture of paper has not yet appeared, that is to say, to make such a number of flying lanterns, it is necessary to make a large number of papers first.

"I leave this matter to you, no matter what method you use, I want to see the scene of Chang'an Weiyang on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the Tiger Talisman of the Period Gate Army, and I have drawn up another decree, as long as you hold the Tiger Talisman, you can mobilize a thousand Phase Gate Army. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will lead the ministers to worship the moon, and I will be rewarded after the deed! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said without doubt, he didn't give Huo Guang any chance at all, but now there are only ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is indeed a huge test for Huo Guang.

Huo Guang saw that Emperor Wu of Han had already reached out and handed half of the tiger talisman to him. The Qimen Army was the first directly subordinate army established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was his most confidant army. This army is still in charge of Wei Qing, but when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed over the Hu Fu to Huo Guang, he still kept a hand, plus he would issue an edict, that is, Huo Guang could only transfer a thousand Gate troops with the Tiger Fu, which could be regarded as adding a restriction to Huo Guang.

However, the temptation of the tiger talisman is indeed very great, and the transfer authority of the 1,000-period gate army is actually very large, you must know that so far there are only more than 2,000 people in the period-gate army, which is equivalent to saying that Huo Guang has half of the command of the period-gate army, and because of the secrecy of the matter, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not say to the outside world what Huo Guang will do when the period of the gate army is transferred, that is to say, when necessary, Huo Guang can even let the thousand-period gate army do what he wants, of course, the consequences are not easy to say.

Huo Guang didn't hesitate to take the tiger talisman and put it away closely. Then he bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "The minister's decree." "Anyway, I don't have a choice, so I might as well agree.

"Good, good. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do, and it seems like I can't wait! "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said a lot of good things today, and his spirit seemed extremely excited. Huo Guang felt that this was a normal reaction, after all, Emperor Wu of Han was also a person, he also had emotions and desires, and Emperor Wu of Han was really looking forward to this false vision, even if he deceived the people of the world, but his desires could be satisfied, as for the true and false Emperor Wu of Han, he didn't value it so much!

"Does Your Majesty have any other commands? Ministers need to prepare as soon as possible! Huo Guang was still very anxious in his heart, the production process of thousands of Kong Ming lanterns was not short, and then he had to choose the location of the release, a series of arrangements, there were still a lot of things that needed to be done, and this matter had to be kept secret.

"Then you go ahead and get busy." Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and said.

"Retire!" Huo Guang saluted again, and planned to withdraw from Jinhua Palace.

As soon as Huo Guang took a few steps, Emperor Wu of Han suddenly said again: "Wait, have you written down all of my words today?" It seems that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that Huo Guang would forget, and finally confirmed it again.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's words and ministers dare not forget. His Majesty summoned the ministers to inquire about the affairs of Chang'an, and urged the ministers to do a good job in the settlement of the money. Huo Guang answered the question, and the words he answered were simply incompatible, but Huo Guang's answer was that Emperor Wu of Han showed a satisfied smile.

Huo Guang withdrew from the Jinhua Palace, a cool breeze blew, and he felt that his back was already wet, and then Huo Guang reached out and touched the tiger talisman in his arms, with a wry smile on his face. At this time, Huo Guang actually remembered a sentence in later generations, 'knowledge changes fate', but Huo Guang didn't know whether this change for himself was good or bad.

On the bright side, his current achievements have surpassed Huo Guang in the original history, but the bad thing is that his growth seems to be a little too fast, and he also knows some secrets of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even this secret is something that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not want people to know!

"It's only been ten days, and it looks like I'm really going to have to hurry. Liu Che didn't give himself anything, and even the people in the palace couldn't use it themselves, which meant that he had to figure out his own way from the beginning of papermaking. Huo Guang also complained in his heart that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was enough to pick the door, and he didn't even pay for his own work, at least the paper of thousands of Kong Ming lanterns was a huge wealth in this era.

Huo Guang estimated that the entire Chang'an may not be able to find enough paper to make thousands of Kong Ming lanterns, but fortunately, Huo Guang knows that the manufacturing principle of paper is not complicated, although Cai Lun still has hundreds of years to appear, but now it is not a problem for Huo Guang to improve the papermaking technique, and it is easy to be accepted by this era.

After leaving Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang returned to the Hou Mansion and quietly locked up in the room by himself. In the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this is just a gorgeous drama that deceives the world, and Huo Guang is only the director of this play. However, Huo Guang thinks that before the end of this good show, he has too many places to use, and in Huo Guang's mind, he has more than just directing such a scene in these ten days.

Huo Guang fiddled with the tiger talisman in his hand, this thing in his hand, it can be said that he is also the real power faction in Chang'an City at the moment, there is no way that whoever has military power in this era can be tough. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Huo Guang a thousand periods of military intentions, which should have set off Kong Ming lanterns, but Huo Guang found that with the tiger skin of the periodmen army, he could do a lot of other things.

"Someone." Huo Guang thought in the room for half an hour before walking out of the door. There are many servants in the Hou Mansion, Huo Guang only needs a word, and someone will soon come to him.

"What do you have to say from the second master?"

"You go to Du Zhou's Mansion in the Imperial History to spread a message, and ask Du Yannian to send a message to the county government tomorrow, just say that Your Majesty has something to arrange, and I won't be at the county government tomorrow." Huo Guangtian didn't plan to go to the county office, but had more important arrangements, so he asked people to send a message to Du Yannian.

Early in the morning of the second day, Huo Guang took Zhen Youcai and the old seven and eight out of the city gate early. Today, Huo Guang was still wearing a brocade robe, but unlike in the past, he hung his sword on his waist.

"Ah Guang, where are we going?" The four of them rode on horses and galloped all the way, the old seven and eight didn't talk much, just followed Huo Guang, but Zhen Youcai couldn't help but ask Huo Guang.

"Go to the Shanglin Yuan Period Gate Barracks." Huo Guang replied, and continued to urge the horse forward, making Zhen Youcai confused, until the old seven and eight looked at each other suspiciously, because they knew that the period gate army was the emperor's own army, responsible for the emperor's patrol and dealing with emergencies, and the period gate military camp was not something anyone who wanted to enter.
