Chapter 101: Li Cai's End

In the side hall, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already dressed neatly, and when Dongfang Shuo saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty coming in, he hurriedly bowed down and shouted: "."

"Dongfang Shuo, do you really know how to choose the time? Tell me something! Emperor Wu of Han was still a little displeased, but since he had met Dongfang Shuo, Emperor Wu of Han naturally had to figure out why he came to see him at this time.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister actually came on behalf of others, and here is a note presented to Your Majesty by an adult." Dongfang Shuo handed over the recital that Huo Guang had written on paper.

"Someone else? Who's the generation? Emperor Wu of Han glanced at Dongfang Shuo unexpectedly, and his eyes also fell on the paper in Dongfang Shuo's hand.

"Hey, it's like paper. What do you want to do with paper? Emperor Wu of Han said suspiciously again, he also recognized the paper in Dongfang Shuo's hand, but Emperor Wu of Han found that this paper seemed to be different from what he had seen before. And the paper has never been sparse, generally bamboo slips are the majority, occasionally in order to appear formal, or because the distance is too far, such as the kingdoms and monarchs will also choose to use brocade silk, but there is no paper.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Chang'an Ling Huo Guang." Dongfang Shuo replied cautiously.

"Huo Guang? How is he? Emperor Wu of Han was surprised again, but when he heard Huo Guang's name, he became a little curious, because Huo Guang always made him a little surprised. So Emperor Wu of Han hurriedly opened the paper handed by Dongfang Shuo and hurriedly looked at it.

Emperor Wu of Han first took a cursory look, and there was no change in expression on his face. However, when he paused and looked at it again, Emperor Wu of Han slowly began to smile on his face.

It wasn't until the second time that Emperor Wu of Han suddenly laughed and said, "Huo Guang, Huo Guang, you really surprised me." Dongfang Shuo, where are the drawings? ”

As soon as Emperor Wu of Han stretched out his hand, he put it in front of Dongfang Shuo. Then Dongfang Shuo took out the wooden box and respectfully handed it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. With Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's knowledge, after seeing Huo Guang's intentions, he immediately understood the huge benefits, and this benefit was not for individuals, but for the entire country, which made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not excited.

Opening the drawings in the wooden box, Emperor Wu of Han only took a cursory look, in fact, Emperor Wu of Han didn't know much about these practical things, he just looked at it out of instinct, compared to this drawing, Huo Guang's note written on paper meant more to Emperor Wu of Han.

"Is there anything else?" Emperor Wu of Han looked away from the drawings and glanced at Dongfang Shuo.

"It's okay, the minister resigns. Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * First * Fa " Dongfang Shuo understood and immediately retreated. Anyway, his task is to hand over these two things to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to stay after the task is completed.

"Someone." After Dongfang Shuo withdrew, Emperor Wu of Han did not rush back to Li Meiren, but shouted outside the hall.

"What does Your Majesty command?" Soon, a chamberlain bowed down and walked in front of Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed the drawings in his hand forward, and said to the inner servant: "Hand this thing to Shaofu, let Shaofuqing build a workshop according to the drawings, and copy the drawings, and announce it to the world on a certain day." ”

During this period, the responsibilities of the Shaofu were to be responsible for the manufacture of the royal handicrafts, and it was the responsibility of the Shaofu to be handed over to the Shaofu. Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not think of keeping papermaking private, and he also chose to announce it to the whole world, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also hoped that the paper that could be written could be promoted on a large scale.

"No." The waiter respectfully accepted the order, and withdrew with the drawings in hand.

"Huo Guang, Huo Guang, you have made another great achievement! How shall I reward you? According to your merits, you should have been crowned a marquis a long time ago, and this really makes me embarrassed......" Emperor Wu of Han was the only one left in the palace, and he looked at the wooden box on the side and whispered to himself. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was embarrassed by Huo Guang's reward.

"This, and this...... This saber is good, let's send it over too, and choose some jewelry, and send it to Dongfang Shuo's house tomorrow. After Huo Guang returned to the mansion, he picked it up in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, and he did not forget to promise Dongfang Xian's gift. However, when choosing, Huo Guang was not only selected for Dongfang Xian, but some were for Dongfang Shuo's concubines.

Huo Guang did not deliberately pay attention to how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dealt with papermaking, but a few days later, a notice issued by Shaofu Temple appeared, which was the announcement of papermaking, and it was also clearly mentioned that papermaking was improved by Chang'an Huo Guang, and this notice was spread all over the world along with papermaking drawings, so that Huo Guang's name was widely known for the first time.

When Shaofu Temple announced the news, it was less than half a month before the end of the year. And the end of the year is also the busiest time for all departments of the imperial court, although Chang'an County does not have much to do, but Huo Guang has reviewed a lot of official documents in the past few days, which can be regarded as making him really feel the taste of the county order.

Seeing that the New Year was getting closer and closer, Huo Guang was still reading the official documents in the room on this day, at this time Du Yannian hurriedly ran in, Huo Guang looked up and saw a trace of panic on Du Yannian's face. Huo Guang and Du Yannian have been together for a long time, and they also know that although this person is not very old, he acts steadily, and this performance is a bit abnormal.

"My lord, I'm afraid something big has happened!" Du Yannian didn't wait for Huo Guang to speak, and took the lead in speaking.

"What's going on?" Huo Guang was shocked in his heart, he could make Du Yannian say something big, but it couldn't be small, but he didn't know if it would have something to do with him.

"The city is already in chaos, Your Majesty has sent the gate army into the city, all the city gates have been closed, even the Weiyang Palace has been closed." Du Yannian actually didn't know what was going on, but the situation in Chang'an City had already made everyone feel uneasy, and if he could react like this, he could only say something big.

"This ...... Is there any more accurate information? Huo Guang calmed down and asked, since things have come to this point, and no one has come to the county government yet, it means that these actions have nothing to do with him.

"My subordinates don't know, we can't get out of the county government now!" Du Yannian said helplessly, not that he didn't want to know, but now even they, the court officials, are not free.

"Don't panic, only Your Majesty can mobilize the Qimen Army, so what does Your Majesty do, you are guarding in the county office, I'll go out and take a look." Huo Guang slightly analyzed the following forms, and he can only know that Chang'an's series of actions must be the will of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it is not clear who this is aimed at, but one thing is certain, it is worth Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to do this, which shows that the identity and status of the other party are extraordinary, at least at the level of the three dukes.

"Could it be Li Cai? That thing has already been stabbed to His Majesty? "The first thing that appeared in Huo Guang's heart was Li Cai, if all this was because of Li Cai, then it was said that in the past, it was indeed necessary to be cautious to catch a prime minister.

"My lord, I can't get out anymore." Du Yannian heard Huo Guang say that he wanted to go out to have a look, and hurriedly reminded him again, he wanted to tell Huo Guang that even the county government was blocked.

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Huo Guang said a word and walked out of the door, when Huo Guang walked to the yamen, there were already many officials surrounding the door, but a row of stubborn and stubborn soldiers outside the county yamen were surrounding the county yamen.

"Get out of the way." Huo Guang shouted loudly, and when the onlookers heard that the county order had come out, they hurriedly made a way.

Huo Guang ignored these people, walked straight out of the gate, and stepped down the steps towards the street. At this time, the officials did not dare to step forward, but Li Ling thought about it for a while, and still followed behind Huo Guang, and the two went out of the county government together.

"Stop." As soon as Huo Guang walked out a few steps, the Qimen army pointed the halberd at Huo Guang.

"Lord Huo, this is Your Majesty's will, now everyone is not allowed to go to the street, please don't embarrass me." A person walked out of the sergeant of the period, and this person said politely to Huo Guang. Huo Guang glanced at this person, although he didn't know his name, but Huo Guang still recognized it, this person was also a small officer in the 1,000-phase gate army stationed in Sanjueguan that day.

"Oh, it's you. I wonder why? Even my Chang'an County Ya is surrounded? Could it be that this is also what Your Majesty meant? Huo Guang took a few steps forward and continued to ask.

The officer of the period gate looked embarrassed, but after a few glances at Huo Guang, he still said: "Don't be embarrassed, my lord, no one can tell me about this, in fact, not only the county government, but even the places such as the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Inner History Mansion have been controlled, my lord, please go back." ”

Out of military discipline, this officer did not tell Huo Guang their specific tasks, but he still revealed the information that even the Prime Minister's Mansion was controlled, which was also considered benevolent and righteous.

"I don't embarrass you, but you should know what this is, right? Answer honestly to this officer. Huo Guang said with a solemn expression, and at the same time took out an object in his arms and showed it to these period gate sergeants, Huo Guang took out the half of the tiger talisman. At this time, Huo Guang wanted to use this tiger talisman to mobilize these soldiers, but he didn't dare, but he just inquired about some news, and Huo Guang felt that there was no problem.

"Meet your lord!" As soon as Huo Guanghu's talisman came out, the officers of that period, led by the men, and dozens of soldiers behind him, all knelt down in unison. The rules in the army are much stricter than other places, half of the Tiger Talisman is in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and half is in the hands of the Servant of the Period, Huo Guang's Tiger Talisman is equivalent to the emperor's will, these soldiers know Huo Guang and know that he does hold the Tiger Talisman, so he can only pay homage in a regular manner.

At this moment, whether it was Li Ling behind Huo Guang or the ordinary officials hiding in the yamen and watching, they were all surprised. They never imagined that their own lord would be so majestic, and the period gate army, which was not invincible before, would grovel to the lord in the blink of an eye.

"Get up and talk back, who are you arresting?" Huo Guang is also quite official now, and he really has the momentum of a superior person when he speaks at this moment.

"No." The sergeants of the period gate stood up in unison, but the halberd no longer dared to face Huo Guang. Then the officer of the gate said: "My lord, Your Majesty's will is to arrest the prime minister of the dynasty, Li Cai, Marquis of Anle. In order to ensure that it went smoothly, the whole of Chang'an was blocked. ”

"That's really the case......" Huo Guang said secretly in his heart. Then he said, "Got it, go ahead with your mission!" Li Ling, go back with the official. ”

Huo Guang definitely didn't want to wade into this muddy water, and when he understood the matter, he didn't want to ask again. However, he noticed that Li Ling's expression was a little abnormal, so he hurriedly shouted Li Ling. You must know that Li Cai is Li Ling's cousin, and he is also a close relative, at this time, he is not worried that it is fake, and Li Cai is the highest status of the Li family now, if Li Cai falls, then their Li family will completely collapse. However, judging from the fact that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrested Li Cai and Li Ling is still safe and sound, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not want to involve the rest of the Li family.
