A large corridor in the middle, covered with a corridor, four courtyards before and after, each floor has three or four small courtyards, each courtyard is connected by a corridor, the whole mansion study, piano room, guest house, car room, stable room, slave room, etc. are readily available, and several married daughters still have separate courtyards. There is a big pond between the second and third floors, meandering and connected with the living water outside, there are rockeries in the pond, stone pavilions are winged, there are small boats, residual lotus, white cranes on the pond. The third floor is Huo Guang's main house, with white walls and black tiles, the tallest, there is a screen in front of the house, there is a tiger painted with red paint, majestic and majestic. The quiet room was on the west side of the second floor, and Huo Guang and the others walked through the corridor, bypassed the pond, and walked along the corridor to the main hall.
Huo Xian had already stood to greet him. Although he is half old, Huo Xian eats finely, and he doesn't work, he still has fair skin and quite charm. A few people sat down to eat while talking and laughing, and the delicacies and gold bottles on the table were shining, the ivory chopsticks were as warm as jade, and the aroma of the palace wine was fragrant. After drinking some wine, Huo Xian stroked Huo Guang's shoulder and said with a charming smile: "Husband, Chengjun is also a big man, and he should also find a good family." You can't patronize national affairs and forget about your own affairs! ”
Cheng Jun said angrily: "What did my mother say, I don't want to get married." ”
Huo Guang smiled: "What kind of person is worthy of my baby daughter?" These princes, generals, and dignitaries do not have many successful sons, but some children of ordinary people work hard, and the world is like this. ”
Huo Xian said: "The husband is really confused, we can't look down on those fish, shrimp, turtles and turtles, there is only one person in the world who is worthy of becoming a king, and that is the emperor." ”
Huo Guangleng paused, shook his head and said: "No, our Huo family is already extremely rich, and the Queen Mother is also her own family, so she can't go any further." ”
Huo Xiandao: "General, how can there be too much wealth, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about our family." Besides, let's not steal or rob, with Jun'er's talent, it's not unworthy to be a queen. ”
Cheng Jun said: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, I want to find one I like, the son of heaven and the son of the earth, I am not rare." ”
Huo Guangdao: "Jun'er is right, let's just be happy." Madam, I won't mention this beforehand, everything will have to wait a few days, it is too early to see everything. ”
Huo Xian said again: "Who will sit on the throne?" ”
Huo Guangdao: "Everything is tomorrow." ”
Outside the window, I don't know what frightened the white crane was, and suddenly fluttered out of the warm house, drawing a cold light on the water surface.
Weiyang Palace Greenhouse Hall, Liu Fuling's Zi Palace is parked in the middle, white curtains are hung everywhere in the hall, a group of ministers are dressed in plain clothes, kneeling and crying bitterly, for a long time, Huo Guang slowly got up under the support of the Yellow Gate, dipped his sleeves in tears and said: "Everyone, everyone, I have gathered everyone today to discuss important matters. Don't cry for a while. ”
As soon as the words fell, the crying gradually stopped, and all the officials slowly got up and stood in the order of official rank.
Huo Guang said in the face of everyone's sorrow: "The Son of Heaven is benevolent and thrifty, rests and supports the people, knows people well, is wise and decisive, preaches Confucianism, attaches importance to education, the national strength of the Han Dynasty is restored, the world sings and dances to promote peace, the four Yi Binfu, the Huns move north, it is really a generation of Ming masters, how did I expect the Son of Heaven to collapse in the middle way, abandon the world and go, I bow my head and cry, I can't speak for a few days, and I want to go with the Son of Heaven." How could the first emperor be alone with me and Jin Riyan and others, and now I am the only one left with the auxiliary minister, I dare not go against the will of the first emperor, causing the Han to be shaky, so I can only reluctantly get up, and then suppress my grief and make it difficult to deal with the national affairs. The biggest thing today is that the lord of the country is empty, and the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, summoning everyone over is to listen to everyone's opinions, who should be appointed to inherit the unification? ”
In fact, the ministers had Huo Guang's intention to convene the meeting today, but they didn't know Huo Guang's thoughts, so they didn't dare to say the first word. Huo Guang swept his eyes around, and saw that everyone else was bowing their heads, so he named and said, "Prime Minister Yang, you are the head of the hundred officials, what are you going to do?" ”
Prime Minister Yang Chang was standing in the first place, looking drowsy. Yang Chang is Sima Qian's son-in-law, old and frail, and his hair is white. Hearing that Huo Guang called him, he opened his eyes and squinted in a very hoarse voice and replied: "General, I think Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, can inherit the unification." ”
Everyone laughed secretly when they heard this, Liu Ji had already died, and Liu Ji who had not come yet, the prime minister had already been deaf!
Huo Guang scolded the "old fox" in his heart, but said: "The prime minister is tired, come here, give the prime minister a soft couch." ”
Yang Chang thanked him and walked on the soft couch with the help of the yellow door. As soon as Huo Guang was about to ask something more, Yang Chang snorted, and the sound shook the greenhouse hall. Huo Guang beckoned: "Come on, gently lift the prime minister to the next door to rest, cover the quilt, don't get cold." Five or six palace people came up and gently carried Yang Chang and the others away.
"Everybody talk about it." Huo Guang spoke again.
At this time, Huo Yu moved out of the queue and said: "General, the lower officials think that Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is the only living son of the first emperor. ”
The atmosphere in the greenhouse hall suddenly became weird, and some people lowered their heads and exchanged glances: "Was it ordered by the great general?" "Others close their eyes.
At this time, Dasi Farmland Yannian came out and said: "General, the lower officials think that what Lang Zhongling said is extremely true, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, has unparalleled qualifications, and his physique is strong and sloppy, and he is able to raise the heroic style of my Han Dynasty, and the lower officials are also willing to support the king of Guangling." ”
Dasi Nong is a civil official, ranked in Jiuqing, but Tian Yannian is mighty and heroic, domineering, often wears a sword, has a good martial arts, and was once Huo Guang's long history, deeply trusted by Huo Guang, and all cite him as Huo Guang's confidant, so the people in the court are afraid of him. Hearing him say this, everyone said it one by one, and they all wanted to support Liu Xu as the emperor.
Huo Guang frowned, didn't say a word, and paced in front of the crowd. He didn't expect that there were so many people who wanted King Guangling to come up, could it be that everyone was blind?
At this time, a huge cry suddenly sounded in an unknown corner, and everyone followed the voice, and it turned out to be Ma Shangguang, the waiter. Huo Guang pretended to be shocked and said, "Why is this? ”
Ma Shangguang said: "Guangling King Liu Xu behaved rudely, brave and excessive, in the early years, there were many things that did not conform to the etiquette law, and he was not liked by the first emperor, so he set up the Daxing Emperor, and in the next many years, there were bad things, and the world handed it over to him, one is to disobey the edict of the first emperor, and the other is to ignore the people of the world, Huo Yu, as Lang Zhongling, knows this, but still pushes him, what is his intention!" O Emperor! Open your eyes and see! As he spoke, Ma Shangguang began to cry again.
