Chapter 109: Self-reliance
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty canonized Huo Guang as the monarch of Anyang, but until he walked out of Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang was still in a trance, he only vaguely remembered that he couldn't stop nodding and returning the salute along the way, and said mechanically "Thank you!" "That's the kind of thing you want.
As soon as they walked out of the Xuanshu Palace, many courtiers walked up to Huo Guang and said words of congratulations, but people like Zhuang Qingzhai held their own identities and did not get too close to Huo Guang. After finally dealing with these people, Huo Guang saw that Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing were already standing not far from him, and both of them looked at him with smiles.
"Uncle, brother." Huo Guang shouted, with a helpless smile on his face.
"Ah Guang, congratulations! You're almost catching up with your brother. Wei Qing opened his mouth and said, at this time, the other courtiers saw Wei Qing and Huo Qubing walking with Huo Guang, and they all consciously did not come up.
"Hehe, my uncle smiled. The elder brother was crowned a marquis at the age of eighteen, and he became a supreme minister at the age of twenty-two. The nephew was lucky to be named Anyang Jun by His Majesty today, but it is far worse than his brother. Huo Guang said humbly, although he was only sixteen years old and became a king, it is indeed remarkable. However, compared with his brother Huo Quai, it doesn't seem to be shocking, which is why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly crowned Huo Guang Anyangjun, and the courtiers were just a little surprised at first, but they were not surprised.
Because long before Huo Guang, there was already a figure in Dahan who could be called against the sky. And it's none other than Huo Guang's brother Huo Quai. At the age of eighteen, Huo Qubing was named the champion marquis by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and after the Battle of Mobei, Huo Qubing was only twenty-two years old and was crowned the marquis of Wanhu, so that the title of the great Sima, whether it is a title or an official position, has reached the point where it cannot be sealed. Even many people feel that Huo Guang was named Anyang Jun, and there is no lack of extension of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's favor for Huo Quai.
"Ah Guang doesn't have to be too humble, the significance of Anyangjun's title is extraordinary, it seems that His Majesty does have high hopes for you!" Huo Quzhi said on the side, Huo Guang's rise was watched by him step by step, and there was nothing happier about Huo Qubing than Huo Quzhi.
"Hehe, Ah Guang has been busy these days. When you come to your uncle's mansion after this while, we will also congratulate you. Wei Qing said with a smile, he was inviting Huo Guang to the mansion for a gathering. However, at present, Huo Guang has just been crowned Anyang Jun, and it is estimated that there will be an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him, and Huo Guang will definitely have no time in a short time.
"Naturally, my nephew will come to my uncle's house to disturb me." Huo Guang hurriedly said.
Walked out of Weiyang Palace, because it was not yet an hour at this time, Huo Guang had to go back to the county office.
When Huo Guang returned to the Chang'an County Ya, everything was still as usual in the county Yazhong, and he didn't see anything abnormal. I have to say that the spread of news in this era is indeed slow enough, and the news of Huo Guangfeng's Anyangjun has not yet spread at this time, and what he knows is still limited to important ministers who can go to the court.
It is rare that the county government still doesn't know this news, and Huo Guang is finally able to sit quietly in the county government and sort out the matter before and after. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always done things one by one, and everything has a far-reaching impact, even Huo Guangfeng Anyangjun, as early as beforehand, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had made many preparations, and no one would have thought that changing Chaoge County to Anyang County would have something to do with Huo Guangfengjun. Huo Guang naturally didn't think that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would end his appointment as Anyang Jun, and no one knew if Huo Guang would have other intentions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he was named Anyang Jun.
However, strictly speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only awarded Huo Guang the title, and he is still the Chang'an Order. Even Huo Guang still couldn't attend the court meeting, because there were many marquis of the Han Dynasty, and not every one of them could participate in the court meeting. At the end of the day, his influence on the general trend is still very small.
Moreover, Huo Guang paid special attention to the words that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said when he rewarded himself. Those words are to show Huo Guang's exploits one by one, when Huo Guang was named Zhu Cao Shizhong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not say in his will why Huo Guang was named Zhu Cao Shizhong, that is to say, the reward was not Huo Guangjin's contribution to the stirrups.
This kind of thing also happened when Huo Guang was in Chang'an Ling, and at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still not an official position of Huo Guang awarded for merit. But this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went from the Battle of Mobei to the opening of the night market, and all the credit of Huo Guang was included, which means that the imperial court no longer owes Huo Guang, the Anyang Jun, anything, and the reward has been rewarded!
Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty start with the Battle of Mobei? Huo Guang felt that this problem was worth scrutinizing, because according to the usual reward practice of the imperial court, it was a reward for one merit, and there might be a matter of merit that should be rewarded because of the time interval not long ago, the previous reward had not come down, and there was merit that should be rewarded, but this kind of accumulation is only two at most, and the interval will not be too long. It is impossible to span as long as two years like Huo Guang.
Huo Guang was puzzled by this question, but at this moment, Zhen Youcai's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "My lord, someone has come to the palace." ”
There was someone in the palace, naturally it was sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Huo Guang didn't understand again, he was in the court just now, what did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty say at that time, he had to wait until he returned to the county government and then send someone to deliver the decree? If it is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has something that is not good to say to Huo Guang in person, or it is not good to say it in public in the court, this possibility is basically none. Because if this is the case, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will also not send someone to the county government to deliver the decree, but should meet Huo Guang alone.
"On the orders of His Majesty, I came to deliver the decree, and Anyang Jun is here?" The palace attendant shouted loudly when he walked into the county office, and his shout made everyone in the county government puzzled, because everyone in the county government still didn't know who An Yangjun was?
"This gentleman is here, please pass on the decree!" Huo Guang walked in front of the inner servant, this period does not need to be like the later generations to put on the incense case to receive the decree, just listen to the inner servant read it, or take the edict.
"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's policy, please take a look." The waiter respectfully handed a bamboo slip in his hand to Huo Guang, this was for Huo Guang to see, so there was no need to read it out separately. And this chamberlain said that this is a policy book, but in fact, it is also very particular.
In the Western Han Dynasty, it is clearly stipulated that there are four kinds of orders of the emperor. One is called the Book of Policies, which means that the emperor drives his courtiers to issue orders, and is usually used by the emperor to convey some simple orders to his courtiers, or to tell some things. The other is called book-making, which is an instrument that promulgates important legal orders, which is a very formal category and usually does not appear much. There is also an edict, which is also a fairly formal type of document, and the content of this kind of document is usually known to the subjects of the whole world, such as the canonization of the prince, the amnesty of the world, or the killing of rebellions. The last one is called the precepts, which are the documents used by the emperor to pass the precepts and have been used by the county guards or frontier generals.
Huo Guang took over the policy book carved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with bamboo slips, and at this time, other people in the county government also understood that Huo Guang was Anyang Jun, and they guessed that this incident probably happened when Huo Guang was summoned to the palace before.
The chamberlain left after delivering the policy, and Huo Guang naturally would not open the plan of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in public. Instead, he returned to the house to check alone, but before leaving, Huo Guang looked at the people of the county government with a puzzled look, and said with a smile: "I went to the Xuanshu Hall just now, and Your Majesty named me Anyang Jun." ”
After Huo Guang finished speaking, he turned to leave, and after a while, he heard many congratulatory voices behind him: "Congratulations, my lord." ”
Then the news quickly spread all over the county government, but ordinary people don't have such keen political insight and don't understand the meaning of the title of Anyangjun. Although the title of Jun is not common in the court, ordinary people know that this title is still not as good as Hou, so they are not too surprised.
In fact, even Huo Guang himself thought like this at the beginning, because with Huo Guang's background, even if he was made a marquis, it is estimated that there would not be much shock, just look at Wei Qing's three sons who were all made marquis. Only a few people can perceive the extraordinary significance of the word 'Anyang' in this title.
Huo Guang opened the bamboo slip and read it carefully from the beginning, and found that in fact, the content of it was not all given to Huo Guang by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It mentions that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded Huo Guang with a mansion in Xuanping as his residence in Chang'an. The other half of the content was actually given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Wang Wenshu, the Taishou of Hanoi County, to ask Wang Wenshu to choose a site in Anyang County, Huo Guang's fiefdom, to build the Anyang Junfu for Huo Guang.
"Xuanpingli's mansion? This is to make me stand on my own! But where are there ready-made mansions in Xuanpingli? Is it there? "On the surface, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed Huo Guang this policy at this time, so that Huo Guang could stand on his own. However, when he thought of the mansion in Xuanpingli, Huo Guang thought of Li Cai, who committed suicide not long ago, and there was only this one ready-made mansion in Xuanpingli.
Having his own Anyang Junfu means that Huo Guang has set up his own door, of course, he has to move out of the Champion Hou Mansion. Of course, with Huo Guang's current status, it is not suitable to continue to live in the Champion Hou Mansion. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Guang a letter of advice at this time, which must be more than just as simple as it seems. If this was just a simple incident, Huo Guang couldn't figure out the intentions of Emperor Wu of Han even if he wanted to break his head, but in connection with Huo Guang's previous thoughts, he finally discovered the hidden intentions of Emperor Wu of Han.
In the Xuanshu Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named Huo Guang as the Jun of Anyang, which was a reward for his achievements. That is, the court's reward for Huo Guang has ended, and now he doesn't owe Huo Guang anything. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to pass the decree at the end of the court meeting, and rewarded Huo Guang's mansion, which can be regarded as another reward for Huo Guang by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can represent the imperial court, strictly speaking, the two cannot be completely equated, and the reward of the mansion can be regarded as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's personal reward for Huo Guang. But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not owe Huo Guang anything, so it became what Huo Guang owed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty undoubtedly showed an attitude. You Huo Guang can't lie on the merit book and eat the old book, Yu Gong is the Anyang Jun of the Han Dynasty, and it is your duty to be dedicated to the society. I will give you a mansion in private, and you will know that you will repay your kindness. Besides, I still trust you so much.
At this time, Huo Guang reached into his arms and touched the tiger talisman that he had personally collected. If Huo Guang's previous guess was correct, then Emperor Wu of Han would be able to take back the Tiger Talisman after he was crowned king, but now Emperor Wu of Han still didn't mention it, that is, tell Huo Guang again, how much I trust you?
Huo Guang didn't know what he would think at this time if he was someone else, but he had to admit that at least he had some thoughts about wanting to serve Emperor Wu of Han with all his might. There is no doubt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is worthy of being a rare emperor in the ages, and no one can match him in the way of the emperor.
