Chapter 71: The Emperor's Sword (5)
A few days later, in November, Liang Qiuhe, a native of Langya, entered the palace to become a doctor in Taizhong because he understood the Book of Changes, replacing Le Chengxing's Shaofu affairs. That Le Cheng, because he was Huo Guang's person, did not move him, but Huo Guang was extremely disappointed in him, if Le Cheng became tough, maybe Cheng Jun would have become the queen, so he would let him out of the county. Although he is no longer close to the center of power, he no longer has to be angry between the emperor and Huo Guang, drinking and eating meat all day long, hugging left and right, and his heart is happy.
After calculation, Liang Qiuhe chose Renzi Day as the day of the ceremony. Although Huo Guang was reluctant, he still tried his best to prepare so that no one could see that he was dissatisfied. On the day of Renzi Day, the palace is full of lights, since Emperor Xiaowu is old, it has never been so lively. Pingjun wore deep clothes, blue soap, steady and heavy, plus step shaking, hairpins, and six beasts, all of a sudden, like a different person, the illness has been overjoyed, originally thought that the impossible thing was not only done, but also done the scenery.
After paying homage to the Taimiao, the illness had already sat down with Pingjun's hand, and Chengjun followed behind, and the other harem members were left and right. Huo Guang felt very uncomfortable when he saw it, but he was helpless, after all, when today's son passed the amnesty of the world and the ministers of Guangyue, he already had a good reputation, and it was impossible to treat him like Liu He. It seems that the only way to advance is to retreat.
After everyone finished congratulating happily, the illness said: "The Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and I still have two things on my mind, saying that I will discuss them with you." The woman-in-law Xu Guanghan has a great kindness to me, and now that Pingjun has been canonized, the father-in-law should naturally be crowned the monarch of the country. Another thing, so the crown prince Liu is my own grandfather, and now he is still a pile of barren mounds, and I want to posthumously seal them. ”
Everyone didn't know if these two things had been said to Huo Guang in advance, so they didn't dare to say anything, in fact, this is not a big deal, but Liu Ju's nickname is more difficult, after all, he was identified as a rebel by Emperor Xiaowu, and Emperor Xiaowu did not rehabilitate him until he died, but at this time and then, the emperor has changed generation after generation, and Emperor Xiaowu is gone after all.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the illness already knew that as long as Huo Guang was there, no one would dare to speak, so he said: "These things are left to the general to decide, and the future of the Han dynasty will still depend on the general." ”
Huo Guang saw that the problem came to him again, so he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a matter, and he has thought about it again and again, and he wants to ask His Majesty for permission." ”
The illness is certain.
Huo Guang touched the ground with his head and said: "Now that the country is stable, the world is peaceful, there are divisions left and right, each doing its own thing, the old minister is very pleased, and he also wants to accompany His Majesty around, how can he be old and frail, unable to achieve great things, solemnly request to return to His Majesty, all the affairs of the world are decided by His Majesty, and the minister will return to his hometown." ”
I was already taken aback, I didn't expect Huo Guang to return to his hometown on such a happy day, which obviously made me uncomfortable. Then he smiled and said: "General, the world can't do without you, I don't have to worry about the two things I just said, wait for the general to think about it and then decide, I still have one thing before I can say it, and I was preempted by the general." I rewarded the meritorious people in front of the clan relatives and civil and military officials, and added the general Huo Guang 17,000 households, the chariot general Zhang Anshi 10,000 households, and the Dasi Farmland Yannian, etc., all of which were sealed as marquises. General, don't think about returning to your hometown for the time being, the world needs you, I need you! ”
Huo Guang was also surprised, could it be that the emperor had no suspicion with him at all? Could it be that the emperor didn't realize that he wanted to become the queen? Or is the emperor really scheming, but no matter how deep his scheming, it is impossible to completely entrust the world to him like this, you know, the reward is a trivial matter, and it is a major matter to report all affairs to yourself first, so that you can completely control the government and politics, it is really one and the same.
Huo Guang bowed deeply: "The old minister must be smeared with his liver and brain to repay the grace of heaven!" Bingji also felt unexpected, he had no intention of fighting with Huo Guang at all, and even gave up any defense, and almost handed over the world directly to Huo Guang, this trust is not pretended.
The suspicion between the monarch and the minister seems to have been resolved in this way.
Huo Guang returned home with a happy face. Huo Xian saw it and said: "Husband's face is full of spring breeze, is there something wrong with the matter after the establishment, and our Jun'er has another chance?" ”
Huo Guangdao: "No, the Son of Heaven has sealed 17,000 households for me, and I will handle all the affairs of the DPRK and China." ”
Huo Xian listened and said: "What should I do, how do I think this is in exchange for our Jun'er's position as the queen." ”
Huo Guangdao: "Hugh is talking nonsense, I underestimate the Son of Heaven, he is very open-minded. ”
Although Huo Xian was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say more, so he said: "The general is right, congratulations for the general's hot wine today!" ”
The Empress Dowager automatically gave up the Jiaofang Palace and returned to Changle Palace to live. Pingjun lives in the Jiaofang Palace, and Chengjun lives in the Zhaoyang Palace. Cheng Jun entered the palace for a few days, but the emperor did not come, Huo Xian was secretly annoyed, and asked Cheng Jun to find some way to win the favor. Cheng Jun said: "As long as I can be by the emperor's side, I don't care if it's the queen or Jieyu." Besides, even if it is Jieyu, giving birth to a prince can seal the territory, so why do you have to fight for that position. My heart is at ease, it is the seat, my mother will not always come to the palace in the future, others in the province say that this harem is opened by our Huo family. ”
Huo Xiandao: "You girl, why don't you understand, the things in this palace, either you die or I die." Look at Mrs. Qi who was so favored back then, wasn't she still an adult, and then look at Chen Ajiao, even if there is a golden house to hide Jiao, what can you do, the heart of defense is indispensable, you don't worry about the position, people are worried about it, and when people think about it, do you still have a good life? Cheng Jun was unmoved when he heard this.
Huo Xian also asked someone to bring extremely exquisite clothes and headdresses, etc., and also brought over a very exquisite piano, and asked Chengjun to play the piano and sing in the evening, which will definitely attract the emperor.
Although Cheng Jun didn't care about the queen's position, she really wanted that the illness had come to her, and in the face of the beautiful man who was sick, she had already taken out all her sincerity. In the evening, Cheng Jun played the piano and sang according to what Huo Xian said, and his voice had a sense of resentment, and the timbre was extremely beautiful and breathtaking.
The illness has really come by the sound, in fact, he has always wanted to come to Chengjun, but when he thinks of Huo Guang, he feels uncomfortable, and he has no emotion at all, but he can't be cold to her like this, and he can't explain to Huo Guang after a long time.
The illness has been stopped in the Zhaoyang Hall for a long time, and Cheng Jun did not find it until the end of the song, Cheng Jun looked up and saw that the illness had come, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to greet him. Only then did she look at her carefully, and she was as delicate as a fairy, and she was fascinated, but she suddenly saw a mole on Cheng Jun's ear, which was about the same as Huo Guang, and she lost her sex. Then he said: "This is the tribute medicine collected in the palace, saying that it is the best for women, Pingjun has given birth to a child, I will not give it to the others, I will give it to you, and I hope you will give birth to a little prince for me." I'm here today. ”
Cheng Jun was overjoyed, the haze of the past few days was swept away, and he gently hugged the illness and said: "The concubine wants to wait for Your Majesty, even if you meet once, in fact, the concubine has seen Your Majesty on the street before, and Your Majesty's shadow has always been in my heart, I have the honor to serve Your Majesty today, and the concubine has no regrets!" ”
The two hugged each other and fell asleep, unaware that it was already dawn.
