Huo Guang received an order from the palace to summon him to the Xuanshu Palace early in the morning of the second day, and simply packed up and went to Weiyang Palace. The fastest update today is not a big court meeting, there are only a few carriages and a few ministers' honor guards outside the Weiyang Palace, most of these honor guards Huo Guang recognizes, and what should be discussed today is not a particularly important matter.

"General Pingnan has arrived? The general and several other adults have arrived, please come here. As soon as Huo Guang got out of the car, a palace attendant stepped forward. Now Huo Guang's status is respected, and there are attendants waiting for him in advance when he comes to Weiyang Palace.

"It's hard work!" Huo Guang nodded slightly and said a word, then buried his head and followed the inner attendant to the Xuanshu Palace.

The Xuanshu Hall is very large, when Huo Guang walked in, he only vaguely saw a few people sitting in the innermost part of the hall, it seemed that Emperor Wu of Han was already inside, these people were talking in a whisper, and Huo Guang couldn't hear it clearly if they were too far away.

"Your Majesty, General Pingnan has arrived." The chamberlain walked in front of Huo Guang and reported Huo Guang's arrival to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Ask him to come in." The voice of Emperor Wu of Han came from the Xuanshu Palace.

Huo Guang didn't stop waiting, and continued to bury his head slightly and walk into the hall step by step. When he got closer, Huo Guang saw clearly that there were only about a dozen people in the hall, except for Emperor Wu of Han. Among them, Lu Bode and Zhu Maichen, who only arrived in Chang'an yesterday, are also among them, and if you look at the others, Huo Guang understands that in addition to himself and Wei Qing, the other nine people happen to be the Jiuqing of the current dynasty.

"Your Majesty!" Huo Guang bowed down and said to Emperor Wu of Han. Now he is the same as the third duke, and he only needs to maintain simple etiquette in front of the emperor.

"General Pingnan, please take a seat." Emperor Wu of Han stretched out his hand to signal.

Huo Guang arched his hand at Wei Qing again, and then sat down silently in his seat. He made up his mind when he went out today, and no matter what was discussed today, he would only listen to it.

"Now that we're all together, let's get started. A few months ago, General Pingnan wrote a letter to ask for the title of the merchant Lu Shu, although there is a precedent for the merchant to be a marquis, but the matter is very high, I still want to discuss with you, whether to seal or not? How to seal it? "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke, but the matter to be discussed has nothing to do with Huo Guang.

When Huo Guang heard this, he could only smile helplessly in his heart.

"Lu Shu spent his family wealth to provide great help to my Han Southern Expedition, and this person also went to South Vietnam in person to persuade the puppet king Zhao Guang to surrender in Guangxin City, such a great achievement can indeed top tens of thousands of troops. The minister thought that he should be a marquis for both affection and reason. Lubord was the first to say.

Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, descended to the Han Dynasty, and the world thought it was the credit of Lu Shu. Only a few generals in the Southern Expeditionary Army knew that Huo Guang had actually met with Zhao Guang in secret, and then persuaded him to surrender. It's just that Huo Guang's secret meeting with Zhao Guang is a secret, and even Emperor Wu of Han doesn't know about it at present.

"Since it is the opinion of General Pingnan, the minister thinks that he should also give Lu Shu the title of marquis. As for how to seal it, General Pingnan probably already has a draft in his heart, right? Sang Hongyang said immediately after Lu Bode.

Hearing Sang Hongyang's words, Huo Guang, who had originally lowered his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at Sang Hongyang. In the past, it was some petty officials who came out with hundreds of stones or thousands of stones, but today, the big farmer Ling Sang Hongyang, who is Gui Jiuqing, finally ended up in person?

"Then General Pingnan will talk about it?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to throw the topic to Huo Guang, and it seemed that he also wanted to see how Huo Guang would pick up.

Huo Guang took a deep breath, straightened his robe, and then said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "The Marquis of Lu Shu was indeed proposed by his subordinates, and he knew this Lu Shu as early as when the minister was in charge of Chang'an's order. Although this person is a businessman, he is not mercenary, let's not talk about the battle of the Southern Expedition, I am afraid that the princes of the court and China will not be able to deny the merits of Lu Shu. What His Majesty wanted to say was that Lu Shu's caravan had already crossed Dawan, traveled thousands of miles west, and arrived at a place called Tiaozhi Country, opening up the trade route between this place and Chang'an. And I heard that there was a country further west called 'Great Qin' that ruled over the territory of Wanli, and these are confirmed in the recital of Bowanghou. Although this person is in business, he is actually a country, if the court comes to do these things, I don't know what it takes? ”

Huo Guang talked eloquently, and did not shy away from the fact that he and Lu Shu had known each other for a long time, nor did he mention too much about Lu Shu's exploits in the southern expedition, but vigorously publicized Lu Shu's trade with the Western Regions in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and finally pointed to Daqin, which was thousands of miles away, that is, the Roman Empire.

"Then let's talk about how to seal Lu Shu?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly asked how to seal the reward, and Huo Guang finally mentioned the word Daqin, which seemed to make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a little distracted.

"If he is a businessman, let him be a businessman for the country and the people, the minister thinks that he can be given the title of marquis, but there is no fief and food, so there is only honor and no real power." Huo Guang thought for a moment and said.

Huo Guang's words not only moved Emperor Wu of Han slightly, but also the eyes of the others.

"Okay, then I will seal Lu Shu as the Marquis of Wanguan, do not set up a fief to eat the city, and give 'Danshu Iron', if you don't collaborate with the enemy and commit the crime of rebellion, you can avoid death." Emperor Wu of Han immediately clapped his hands and said.

'Danshu Tie' originally had it in the time of Gaozu, but at that time it was only a voucher to record the reward of meritorious heroes, such as the voucher of the marquis, which was hidden in the Taimiao. Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave it to Lu Shu for a time to avoid death, which can be regarded as a precedent.

has finalized Lu Shu's reward, and today is nothing. Everyone was almost waiting for Emperor Wu of Han to speak and prepare to leave, but Emperor Wu of Han said unexpectedly: "The two generals stay, and the others will retreat if they have nothing to do!" ”

"The ministers are leaving." The others got up and left very interestingly, and in the end, only Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing and Huo Guang were left in the huge Xuanshu Palace.

"Tell me what's going on with that Daqin?" As soon as Jiuqing walked out of the Xuanshu Palace, Emperor Wu of Han got up and walked towards Wei Qing and Huo Guang, and when he walked in front of the two, Emperor Wu of Han eagerly thought about Huo Guang and asked.

When Emperor Wu of Han got up, Huo Guang and Wei Qing had already gotten up. The two of them stood in front of Emperor Wu of Han and bowed slightly, Huo Guang arched his hand and said, "The minister has only heard that Lu Shu mentioned it. It is said that the people of this country are somewhat different from the countries of the Western Regions, and the political system of their country is also different from ours, and their emperor is called the consul, but in addition to the consul there is a senate with the right to impeach the picket consul, similar to the previous council of kings. However, this is only the first glimpse of what we have been waiting for, and the specific situation is not yet clear. ”

"How many soldiers and horses does this Great Qin have?" Emperor Wu of Han frowned and pondered, and asked the question he was most concerned about. Because Rome was called the Great Qin during this period, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was particularly sensitive to this name, you must know that the Han Dynasty was the world that was taken over from the Qin Dynasty, and now there is a powerful Great Qin, although it is far away in the West, it still attracted the attention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"I don't know." Huo Guang bowed his head and said.

"The two of you are now the pillars of my Great Han, pay more attention to the Great Qin in the west. Let's talk about the specific situation when Bo Wanghou comes back. Emperor Wu of Han looked at Wei Qing and Huo Guang and said.

"Bo Wanghou is coming back?" Wei Qing heard something unusual from Emperor Wu of Han's words, so he hurriedly asked.

It has been several years since Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, went to the Western Regions, and although there were reports about the situation of the countries in the Western Regions from time to time, the Han Dynasty had only learned about some superficial situations in the Western Regions through writing in recent years. Listening to the meaning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian should already be on his way back to Chang'an.

"I received news from Bo Wanghou half a year ago, and at that time he had already arrived in the country of Tiaozhi you mentioned. It is estimated that it should already be on the way back, and it should be able to reach Chang'an in March and May if it is slow or half a year. Emperor Wu of Han walked towards the outside of the Xuanshu Palace, while Wei Qing and Huo Guang followed behind him with their bodies lowered. From the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang knew that because of his own relationship, Lu Shu extended the Silk Road farther, and Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, went further than in history.

Wei Qing and Huo Guang walked side by side towards the outside of Weiyang Palace, followed by several chamberlains around them. At first, both of them walked with their heads bowed, and it was not until they were about to leave the palace gate that Huo Guang spoke first: "Uncle, Your Majesty mentioned Bowanghou, did you intend to wait for Bowanghou to use troops against the Western Regions after returning to Chang'an?" ”

The Western Regions has always been a major problem for the Han Dynasty, and it is also a place that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always coveted, and as early as two years ago, he had sent Zhao Ponu and others to Dunhuang to train his troops. Now that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mentioned Zhang Qian, Huo Guang estimated that as soon as Zhang Qian returned, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty intuitively understood the situation in the Western Regions and would officially raise troops in the Western Regions.

"It should be, but there are many countries in the Western Regions, and the situation is complicated, and it is not easy to find a commander who will lead all things in the Western Regions!" Wei Qing said casually, as if chatting.

"Isn't Your Majesty going to send your uncle? Who am I looking for now like you, uncle? Huo Guang asked pretending to be puzzled.

Wei Qing shook his head slightly, stopped and looked at Huo Guang with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle is old, Your Majesty also said that you want me to retire in Chang'an." In terms of ability and prestige, Ah Guang, you are a suitable candidate, and you are still young, and there are still many opportunities. ”

Wei Qing's words seemed ordinary, but the more he got to the back, the more Huo Guang felt that Wei Qing seemed to have something to say. felt that Wei Qing was deliberately alluding to something, as if he wanted to tell himself something vaguely.

"Thank you, uncle, the younger generation has been taught." Huo Guang didn't understand for a while, but still respectfully saluted Wei Qing and said.

"Hehe, my uncle has been idle lately and is studying the "Nine Chapters of Law", but it is too troublesome to read the bamboo slips. When will I send me some of the top papers from your house, and I'll find someone to copy them. Wei Qing continued to walk outside the palace, and suddenly remembered that there were a lot of top-notch papers in Huo Guang's mansion, so he asked Huo Guang for it.

"Then I sent someone to deliver it to my uncle." Huo Guang immediately agreed. The two looked at each other, did not show any abnormality, and then went back to their respective homes when they arrived at the gate of the palace.

Huo Guang and Wei Qing each returned, and before they returned to their respective mansions, an attendant ran to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and repeated the conversation between the two on the way out of the palace word for word.

Emperor Wu of Han waved away his attendants, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and then said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "The Law of the Nine Chapters...... Wen Zhonghou ....... The general is a wonderful man! ”
