Chapter 40: The Wind Lifts the Clouds (2)

That night, Huo Guang returned to Shangguan Lihuo Mansion. Huo Guang has been in the imperial court all the year round, and he has suffered a lot with his father Huo Zhongru since he was a child, and he doesn't have too high requirements for food and clothing, so he doesn't manage family affairs, and everything is handled by his wife Huo Xian.

Huo Xian and Huo Guang are twenty years old, with a pair of soul-hooking eyes, a receptive waist, charming and enchanting, and the most pleasing people. Huo Guang's main room died violently many years ago, Huo Xian became the main room, and gave birth to a daughter Huo Chengjun, both of whom were favored by Huo Guang.

Huo Guang was often not at home, Huo Xian was unwilling to live in the aftermath, sought official positions for others, received a lot of money, plus Huo Guang's accumulated rewards, the mansion was built and built, and gradually became a house comparable to a small palace, all paved with bricks and stones, dozens of tall and low houses, hundreds of servants and miscellaneous servants, more than 1,000 exotic flowers and plants, horsemen and men can eat white rice and fine meat, and the men and women in the family are all dressed and fed.

Huo Guang didn't think much about it, he was grateful to Huo Xian for bothering to run the family, and he was even more relieved to entrust all the family affairs to Huo Xian.

Huo Guang summoned his son Lang Zhong to order Huo Yu to the quiet room and instructed: "Tell Ma Shangguang that Jiujiang Taishou is vacant." See what he says, come back and tell me. Go now. ”

Huo Yu was puzzled and asked, "If he asks something, how should I answer?" ”

Huo Guangdao: "If that's the case, you can just come back." ”

Huo Yu didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly prepared his horse and left.

Huo Yu became a Zhonglang general in only a few years after entering the court, although the official rank is more than 2,000 stones, he has been attached by countless dignitaries, just to get close to Huo Guang through him. Huo Yu is also quite proud, and is often willing to dredge and seek things for others to show his talents, so there are many people who are familiar with each other in the court. Ma Shangguang was the chief of the court, originally selected by filial piety, his family background was average, and he failed to cling to Huo Yu many times.

Not long after, Huo Yu reported back to Huo Guangdao: "Father, Ma Shangguang said that the book is ready, just waiting for your words." ”

Huo Guang listened, and said: "Available talents, available talents, just ask him to go to Jiujiang." ”

Huo Yu couldn't hold back and asked, "What does the father mean, the child is still in the clouds." ”

Huo Guangdao: "You, you, don't pull those useless fox friends all day long, make friends with masters and learn more from them." ”

Huo Yu said: "What my father criticizes, but I still don't understand. ”

Huo Guang shook his sleeves and scolded: "You are still a Zhonglang general, if you don't grow up, if my Huo family is handed over to you, I don't know how to die!" Now that the Son of Heaven has died, the most important thing is to welcome the new emperor, and there are only two or three people who are selected, and I have taken a fancy to Liu He, the king of Changyi. ”

Huo Yu was surprised: "Liu He is indeed the grandson of the first emperor, but this person seems to like hunting and feasting, and he doesn't look like he has made a difference." ”

Huo Guangqi squinted his eyes and said, "Doesn't my father know this?" I'm not doing things for you yet. Find someone like Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, and the Huo family will not be far from overturning. ”

Huo Yu woke up like a dream, and asked again: "The outside world speculates about the cause of the death of the Son of Heaven, it won't be your father's ......?"

Huo Guang said angrily: "Fart! It's just that others want to frame us, and you say the same! After so many years, he has worked hard for his father to protect the Han family, and he has been stable from the wind and rain to the present, how can he do something rebellious! For the father is already one person and above ten thousand, what else do you want, it is nothing more than to have a name, how can it be for the sake of profit! Although I don't like Liu Fuling, he really didn't kill him, I guess it was instigated by Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, and there may have been a detailed work in the middle of the court. ”

"The child is speechless, the child is speechless!" Huo Yu was so frightened that he kept kowtowing.

Huo Guang closed his eyes and said: "That's it, this matter is extremely complicated, my father already has an idea, but I don't know if it's right, don't ask, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes." Don't you think that Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, can be promoted as the Son of Heaven, and you will push him when the time comes? ”

Huo Yu kowtowed and said: "Father spared the child, you said that Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is not a good thing, how can I go against you?" ”

Huo Guang sighed: "When will you be able to open your mind!" You just push him, just to do it against me? Do you understand? ”

Huo Yu looked up at Huo Guang, only to see that his brows were tightly locked, it was not like a joke, after thinking about it, he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Father is really smart, so that no one will say that our Huo family dominates this election!" ”

The corners of Huo Guang's mouth twitched with a smile: "In the future, you can put such words in your heart." Go down and read a book! ”

Driving Huo Yu away, Huo Guang felt flustered and sighed that there was no successor to the Huo family. I think that at the beginning, my brother Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu, and he was shocked all over the world, and no one in the world was disrespectful, and he was also cautious, and he traveled to the sea for more than 20 years, and the official was the great Sima General, what a glory the Huo family had from my two brothers! However, when it came to Huo Yu's generation, his qualifications were unremarkable, his brother's son Huo Yan died early, and his brother's grandson Huo Yun Huo Shan was even more talented, if he was not born in such a family, he would be an ordinary citizen. Only the little girl is Chengjun, smart and generous, empathetic, but it's a pity that she gave birth to a daughter, otherwise the big things can be entrusted to her.

Just thinking about it, a pair of delicate hands covered his eyes, Huo Guang swept away his tiredness, grabbed and smiled: "Except for my baby daughter, who dares to sneak into the quiet room." ”

It turned out that it was Huo Guang's youngest daughter Huo Chengjun who came. I saw that she was slender, her face was like a bright moon, her cheeks were as charming as water, her smile was breathtaking, she was wearing a phoenix tail cloud pattern inlaid with gold hosta on her head, and she was wearing a tortoiseshell gold bead on her ears. Cheng Jun hugged Huo Guang's neck and said coquettishly: "Don't tell me when you go home, don't you like me?" ”

Huo Guang laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, we Chengjun have grown up again, and we are the first beauty in Chang'an!" The most painful thing for a father is you, how can I not like you, it's just that there have been major events in the past two days, and I am depressed. ”

Cheng Jun said: "National events, national events, national events all day long, I can't see people every day." What's the big deal! ”

Huo Guang said softly: "We want to welcome the new emperor." Want to know who it is? ”

Cheng Jun "cut" and said: "Isn't it just a few people, King Guangling is definitely not suitable, and it doesn't matter who the others are." ”

Huo Guang lamented: "Oh, if only your brother who didn't grow up could have your brain!" ”

Cheng Jun said: "I'm just talking nonsense, I don't care about any national affairs." Don't blame your brother, he's very sincere, isn't this what you taught him! ”

Huo Guangdao: "How can honest people eat well in the court, if you want to display your ambitions, you must have a seat first, and you will be killed before you can sit in the seat, how can you succeed." ”

Cheng Jun didn't want to talk about politics with Huo Guang, but he often pulled himself to say this, and today he finally came back, and he was talking about this again, so he changed his words and said: "Dad, don't keep saying these boring words, I have learned a new dance, and it's good to dance for you to relieve your fatigue." ”

Huo Guang nodded again and again. Cheng Jun turned Qiluo lightly, stirred his long sleeves, and jumped lightly for a while. Huo Guang kept clapping his hands and applauding. Just as he was happy, the chief manager Feng Zidu called outside: "General, the meal has been arranged, Madame, please eat." ”

The father and daughter walked out of the quiet room at this time, only to see Feng Zi touching the ground with his head, very respectful. Huo Guang said: "Get up, you don't have to go back like this." Feng Zidu stood up cautiously and followed quickly.
