On the way back to the court, Huo Guang rode a horse, thinking about Li Guang's death.

Not beat around the bush.

As a latecomer, Huo Guang naturally knew that Li Guanghui would be insulted by the sword and pen officials at this time because of his self-esteem, and he committed suicide.

Even many officials in the Han Dynasty killed themselves and did not want to be insulted by the sword and pen officials.

This is illustrated.

The reputation of the sword and pen officials in the Han Dynasty is actually not very good.

This is also why, Zhang Tang, as a doctor of imperial history, is one of the three princes of the imperial court, and why there are few officials in his faction.

Because Zhang Tang was born as a knife and pen officer.

As for Li Guang's death.

Huo Guang thought for a moment, if he made a move, he might have a chance to save the other party.

But for themselves.

The two families are not on the right track, and there is no need to save people.

If people are friendly with me, it is forgivable to help them; People don't respect me, so why bother to save others?

At this time.

It is the best choice to give up the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others.

But.

After Li Guang's death, there was one thing that Huo Guang had to pay attention to.

Because of Li Guang's death.

His youngest son, Li Kang, will blame all the blame on the general. According to what happened in the original history, this Li Dang would make trouble with the shogun shogunate and stab the shogun.

This injury is terrible!

The general is kind-hearted, so naturally he will not pursue it.

But Huo Guang's brother Champion Hou is a violent temper!

Li Dang was a hussar general's subordinate.

His own men, stabbed the general. First, it gives people the feeling that the hussar general has no way to go, and second, it hurts his family.

With the temper of the champion Hou, he will definitely kill Li Kang!

The enmity of the Li family and the enmity of the Wei and Huo families were completely concluded.

Now Wei and Huo Xianhe are naturally not afraid. But it is difficult to say whether the death of his brother in the future is related to the violent death of his nephew ten years later.

Huo Guang had to think about this.

And when Huo Guang was thinking about these questions, Lin Yaoqing, who was walking with him, said: "What's wrong with Captain Huo today, why is he in a trance, is there something wrong?" ”

on this.

Huo Guang just shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing, maybe it's a little tiring to run a long distance this month!" ”

Marching to fight!

Tired, that's for sure.

Seeing that he was about to return to Chang'an, Huo Guang had no choice but to lift his spirits.

Because the previous general Wei Qing had already sent the military intelligence to Chang'an, the news that Huo Guang had captured the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Yizhixian had already been transmitted back to Chang'an.

So.

On this side of the Chang'an City Gate, there were already people in the middle of the road to welcome the triumphant return of the Han army.

Of course.

Chang'an City, as the imperial capital, naturally cannot let the entire army in. Most of the cavalry of the army in the southern camp returned to the southern camp to garrison, and those in the northern battalion returned to the northern camp.

Wait a few more days.

The number of cavalry in the two battalions will be greatly reduced, and some soldiers will come here to offset the conscription, and the Mobei War is over, and they should be going home.

Outside the city gates were people.

Wait until you enter the city.

Huo Guang rode on his horse and glanced at the people around him. He found that on both sides of the streets of Chang'an City, the people who watched their triumphant return were all powerful people in Chang'an City!

Let's be honest.

Even if Huo Guang's brother is the champion Hou!

Even if Huo Guang lives in the General's Mansion!

But with the humble status of his father Huo Zhongru, a county official in Hedong?

These magnates in Chang'an City are still his unattainable objects.

Although Huo Guang looked down on these powerful people who were greedy for fun, but in the same way, these people also looked down on Huo Guang.

Very simple.

The champion Hou is the champion Hou, and the champion Hou brother is always the champion Hou brother.

One more word.

The difference is earth-shattering.

But Huo Guang at this moment is different.

The fact that he captured the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi has spread all over Chang'an City.

Everyone knows that from this moment on, Huo Guang's identity will no longer be prominent because of Wei Huo, just because of his two words, Huo Guang!

After glancing.

From the eyes of these powerful people looking at him, he saw the eyes of different emotions such as envy, jealousy, stammering, and expectation.

Among these people.

There are those he knows, and there are those he doesn't.

After watching more.

Huo Guang didn't bother to care about other people's eyes, and continued to ride forward with the general Wei Qing and the others.

All the generals rode horses and came to the palace gate together, and dismounted one after another, preparing to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.

Huo Guang, like the general, also dismounted and entered the palace.

At this time.

The eunuch stopped them, and took out the edict made of silk and satin, and read: "Edict, I heard that the general Yu Mobei broke the Xiongnu single in the main force, and Huo Guangsheng captured the Xiongnu in Yizhi, this is a great Han matter!" ”

"Hereby, General Wei Qing and Captain Huo Guang are allowed to walk in the palace on horses and swords to demonstrate the wind!"

"Chin this!"

The words fell.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Walking on a horse and sword in the palace, this kind of treatment, except for the Han Emperor, no one should be able to deserve it, right?

Wei Qing, the general who won this honor, was a little uncomfortable.

Even though.

This is not the first time he has won this honor.

But Huo Guang on the side was still the first time.

For this matter.

Huo Guang didn't feel anything, so he reminded Wei Qing and said, "General, thank you?" ”

The general glanced at Huo Guang, and then had to bow down and thank, "Wei Qing thanked Your Majesty Longen." ”

See my uncle like this.

Huo Guang immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Huo Guang thanked Your Majesty Longen." ”

Thereupon.

The two people who had already dismounted got off the horse got on their horses again after receiving His Majesty's edict.

Of course.

The rules in the palace were very strict, and even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed them to ride horses and swords into the palace, they could not drive with them, but were strolled in by eunuchs holding the reins.

Riding a horse is a very free and chic thing.

But at this moment, the reins were pulled by the eunuchs, and the speed of walking was still slow.

This made Huo Guang, who was sitting on the horse, feel uncomfortable. After a long time, it still feels a bit like a pincushion.

It's better to get off your horse and go into the palace by yourself.

No wonder when the eunuch read out the edict just now, the general Wei Qing was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the eunuch who led the generals into the palace with the reins, Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "This regular attendant, I see that you are a little familiar!" The first time this captain entered the palace, was it also led by you? ”

The eunuch nodded again and again: "Captain Huo has a good memory, the little one took you into the palace at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to remember the little one!" ”

Remember!

Of course Huo Guang remembered.

When this guy brought himself into Weiyang Palace for the first time, his arrogant appearance was too memorable.

But Huo Guang didn't bother to bother with this guy.

The so-called general has a sword and does not cut flies, and if he wants to become a big tree, he should not fight with the grass.

After thinking about it.

Huo Guang said to the eunuch who was holding the reins of the horse: "Since you brought me into the palace for the first time, so let's do it, you come and sit on the horse, and I will lead the horse away." Anyway, I know the road in the palace. ”

Hear the words.

The eunuch holding the reins suddenly said in panic: "Eh, Captain Huo doesn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

"How dare the little one walk on a horse and a sword in the palace."

"This kind of creation can only be matched by Captain Huo and the general!"

The eunuch's words are true.

In addition to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing is the first to have the honor of riding a horse and wearing a sword in the palace, and Huo Guang is the second.

Looked at.

Huo Guang had to smile and shake his head, and he stopped teasing the other party.

When they entered the gate of the palace, Huo Guang and the general Wei Qing had to get off their horses and enter the palace to meet Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

They were accompanied by many generals of the Southern Battalion.

Now.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting on a high seat, looked at the generals kneeling on the ground, and said quietly: "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the generals stood up at the same time.

Then.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, opened his mouth and asked: "General, you have annihilated a lot of Shan Yu's main force in this battle, and I originally wanted to reward you. But why did you lose so much? ”

The Battle of Mobei was won, and the Weiqing Army won the main cavalry.

But the losses are not small.

Although Huo Guang offered a strategy, he came up with new weapons such as flying thunder cannons. But this is only a reduction in the number of casualties in the original history.

The Huns were born to be good at horseback riding.

Han cavalry.

It's just temporary training in the later stage, and the innate gap in talent is still very large.

Hearing Emperor Wu of Han's accountability, Wei Qing hurriedly said: "The losses of his subordinates are so great, it is difficult for the ministers to take the blame. ”

"Danchen is curious."

"The Huns seem to know the movements of our army, the two armies marched, and they had already been informed by the Huns Shan Yu Yizhi, and the other party was deliberately ambushing our army there!"

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, waved his hand and said angrily: "Enough, you Wei Qing is a general, don't make these excuses." ”

"The route of the two armies was planned by me!"

"What, you're blaming me for my miscommand? Or are you showing off, if it weren't for your Wei Qing's good command, this battle might still be lost by me? ”

Wei Qing hurriedly shook his head and said: "The minister doesn't dare to have this idea, the big loss in this battle is the fault of the minister, and I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty!" ”

Hear the words.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che's whipping of Wei Qing stopped, and at the same time did not forget to say: "That's it, in this battle, although the Nanda Battalion suffered a large loss, but it also annihilated the main force of Shan Yu, I will not punish you, and I will not add your Changping Marquis's fiefdom." ”

Hear the words.

Wei Qing still bowed to the ground and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

After the salute.

Wei Qing picked up a long sword with both hands and said to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, under the orders of his ministers, the old general Li Guang lost his way in a roundabout way, delayed the fighter plane, and did not want to be insulted by the sword and pen, so he killed himself in Mo Nan a few days ago. ”

"This is the old general's saber."

"The minister dared to bring it into the palace, so as to repay His Majesty on behalf of the old general."

Regarding the fact that General Li Guang killed himself in Monan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about it as early as in the book of the great general Wei Qing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have any feelings for Li Guang.

But.

After all, the other party is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is also loyal to the Han.

If you hadn't been on the wrong side of the line.

I can't say that Emperor Wu of Han will really reuse him!

Seeing Wei Qing holding the sword at this time, Emperor Wu of Han had no choice but to wave his hand to the eunuch, and then the eunuch handed the sword to him.

Then.

I saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty holding the long sword tightly, and said with pity: "The world is vast, and there is no room for my General Li!" ”

"Edict!

"Transfer Li Guang's eldest grandson, Li Ling, to Yulin."

"The old general's Li family can't be left unsucceeded."

The general shouted, "Your Majesty." ”

The generals also shouted, "Your Majesty Shengming. ”

After this incident.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his gaze to Huo Guang on the side and asked, "Little Huo Guang, I originally just wanted you to go to the army for training. Unexpectedly, you surprised me one after another. ”

"First the cavalry three-piece suit, then gunpowder, flying thunder cannons, etc., and finally the Huns Da Dan Yu was returned to me."

"He is worthy of being the champion brother, his courage is commendable!"

"Oh no!"

"You're younger than my hussar general when he first set out on his expedition, and you should be even worse!"

Hearing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che click a compliment, Huo Guang immediately got goosebumps in an elbow, so he had to shake his head and say: "Your Majesty, my brother is the most respected person besides you and my father, and I dare not say that I am better than my brother." ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Wu of Han saw Huo Guang like this, he immediately smiled and said, "This is not like your character, little Huo Guang!" ”

Huo Guang immediately replied: "The minister was young and ignorant before, and there were many offended people in Chang'an, and there were many language offenses, please forgive your majesty!" ”

Emperor Wu of Han immediately waved his hand and said, "In the past, I have already punished you in prison, so naturally I am not to blame for the past." ”

"Now that you have captured the Huns, this kind of credit can be regarded as huge!"

"Not only will I not blame you, but I will reward you!"

"Tell me, Xiao Huoguang, what reward do you want?"

Hearing Emperor Wu of Han's question, Huo Guang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, how dare the minister ask you for a reward!" ”

"Your Majesty rewards the ministers, and the ministers will naturally take it."

"If Your Majesty doesn't give it to the minister, the minister doesn't dare to take it!"

What do rulers want most? That is, no matter how talented his subordinates are, they must listen to him.

If not.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how could he bother to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone?

Thereupon.

As soon as Huo Guang said this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che immediately laughed from the bottom of his heart and said, "Hahaha, Huo Guang, what you said is very good. ”

"At a young age, I have such an opinion."

"Everyone, you have to study hard with Captain Huo."

Hear the words.

The generals lowered their heads all of a sudden, they were still waiting to be rewarded by His Majesty at this moment!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che thought for a while, and then asked Huo Guang, "Huo Guang, how old are you this year?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is fourteen years old this year, and he should be fifteen or sixteen years old." Huo Guang replied.

Hear that.

Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said, "It's a little younger, it's okay, I like you young people." ”

"That's right."

"Huo Guang, before you joined the army, did you have any position beside me?"

When Huo Guang heard this, he immediately replied obediently: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister was your councillor before!" ”

Hear the words.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded, as if he remembered Huo Guang's identity.

After some thought.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, then said: "I originally wanted to reward you as a doctor of Guanglu, but you are a little young and not suitable. ”

"So."

"I'm going to set up a new official of Fengche Commander, and you will be in charge, how about it?"

The new official position, for those hundred officials in the court, they don't know what this official does, and it can't be just an empty position, so naturally no one will refute it.

And Huo Guang knew.

This newly created official position will be his foothold in the imperial court.

So.

Huo Guang immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

However, before the thank-you ceremony was finished, Emperor Wu of Han stopped and said, "Eh, I haven't finished the reward yet, what are you doing in a hurry to thank you." ”

"Listen."

"This time, you caught the Huns Da Danyu, and you have a lot of credit!"

"I!"

"I want to make you a liege, and in order to take the meaning of broadness and peace, I will seal you Boluhou!"
