On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu He specially issued an edict and once again invited the Huo family to Changle Palace for a family banquet.

Qi Qi and the whole family, in the front yard of the Changxin Palace, ate cakes, admired the moon, and drank at the same time.

During the banquet, Liu He copied several poems written by Li Du in later generations to admire the moon, which not only amazed Huo Guang and others, but also made Huo Chengjun's love for him a little more.

The spice of poetry and songs, coupled with the reward of real money, made this family banquet more harmonious than the last one.

Of course, Liu He, who enjoyed with the people, did not forget the palace people in Weiyang Palace and the people in Chang'an City.

A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu He asked the chefs of Weiyang Palace to work overtime and make thousands of mooncakes.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu He specially asked people to send moon cakes to the hands of each palace person and the guards and Lang Wei on duty.

A moon cake is less than ten dollars.

But this is not a cake, but a heart of the Son of Heaven.

And because this small moon cake is a gift from the Son of Heaven, its weight and temperature are completely different.

……

In the violent room where the heat dissipated, there was silence, and the palace people who had worked all day either hid in the cramped bedrooms and prepared to go to bed; Or just leaned under the porch and stared at the bright moon above your head.

Fan Ke, a thin internal official, hurriedly ran in, and in a panic found the old grandmother who was watching the moon under a corridor, and happily sent the moon cake in his hand to the old man, and said excitedly: "Big mother, this is a snack given by the county official, called moon cakes, eat one in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family can be reunited." ”

The old man smiled kindly, stretched out his hand and took out a burlap towel from his bosom, and carefully unfolded it, and inside was another identical moon cake.

She touched Fan Ke's head lovingly, and said, "Xu Yuanjun also sent it to us just now, and the eldest mother still wants to leave it for you to eat." ”

For some reason, speaking of this, the eyes of both grandparents and grandchildren were a little hot.

His Majesty said that after eating this moon cake, the family can be reunited, and only him and his eldest mother are left in Fan Ke's family, and the two of them are safe, that is, the whole family is safe.

"Auntie, then we will eat bread now, and we will be able to be safe and sound in the coming year." Fan Ke said.

"Today's county officials are merciful, we will be safe, and you must also serve the county officials well and repay the kindness of the county officials."

"No, my grandson knows!"

So, the grandparents and grandchildren were eating moon cakes and enjoying the moon in the sky, and they were happy.

If the old man could be more careful, then she would definitely see that in the eyes of her grandson, there was a bit of worry, hesitation and worry.

This night, in different corners of Weiyang Palace, similar scenes kept playing, and when people ate the moon cakes, their enthusiasm for the Son of Heaven was a little more.

In addition to distributing moon cakes to the people of Weiyang Palace, Liu He also took out 200 husu from Shaofu and asked the chief of Sanfu to give porridge in the city.

A bowl of corn porridge is much cheaper than moon cakes, and I am afraid that I will not need a penny, but magpies have also filled the bellies of hundreds of homeless people.

so that they will not sleep hungry on this first moon night.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, whether it is the Huo Party or the courtiers, whether it is the palace people or the common people, they all feel that there is something different......

The next day, in the Xuanshu Palace, Huo Guang, who was sitting on the couch, had a trace of blood red in his eyes.

The night before, Huo Guang drank and admired the moon with the Son of Heaven in Changle Palace, and it was not until the time of the child that the family returned to the General's Mansion.

At this moment, when he thought about it, there was no doubt that it was definitely a few nostalgic hours, and it was a joy and a joy of family, and even Huo Yu, who was usually not smiling, had a few more drinks.

And Huo Xian, Huo Chengjun and the Empress Dowager Shangguan also gathered around a table, and under the guidance of the Tianzi Langguan named Yu Wuwu, they played a game called mahjong - it seems to be quite harmonious.

And Huo Guang never thought that the Son of Heaven was still talented and could write poems, and he wrote well.

The poems written by the Son of Heaven are different from the Yuefu poems, with the same number of words, neat sentence structure, and catchy reading, not only beautiful words, but also the beauty of rhyme.

And this also made Huo Chengjun, who likes to read since he was a child, have more charming feelings in his eyes when he looks at the Son of Heaven.

This is a good thing, when the love is thick, it will come naturally, and it will be easier for him to conceive a dragon heir one day.

Therefore, even though there was some fatigue this night, Huo Guang still felt very satisfied.

The closest relatives of this family don't know how many years they haven't been so happy.

Today, Huo Guang wanted to take a leave of absence and rest in the house for one more day, but the Son of Heaven deliberately said last night that he had something important to discuss with him, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he still came to Weiyang Palace early.

Huo Guang yawned carefully while waiting for the Son of Heaven to appear......

Half an hour later, when Huo Guang yawned again, he saw the Son of Heaven, who was also yawning, walking into the front room of the Xuanshu Palace.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed, like a father and son who had done bad things together.

After sitting down, Liu He asked with a smile, "Father Zhong, are you still satisfied with the spirits you drank last night?" ”

"The fragrance is mellow and long, which is better than the wine that His Majesty gave to the old man before."

"This is brewed by Shaofu by a secret method, which is more mellow than the old method, and the wine flavor is heavier, and drinking one cup is better than the original ten cups."

"If Your Majesty takes Beicheng Guo to sell, he will definitely be able to buy it at a good price, and it will be sold out." Huo Guang said with a smile.

"I do have this intention, next month, I will let Shaofu brew more, and then sell it to the people."

Winemaking is different from making agricultural tools, it is not a necessity in life, but a luxury that needs to consume food, and those who can afford it are naturally high-ranking officials and nobles, so naturally there is no problem of competing with the people, so Liu He plans to do this business - Shaofu has a lot of money, but who would be afraid of having a lot of money.

Then, Liu He and Huo Guang chatted for a while about the wine-making matter, and Liu He slowly got to the point.

With the arrival of a group of Lang officials and Wang Shi and others in Changyi City, Liu He finally had more available people in his hands.

However, Liu He did not immediately mobilize them, but let them rest in the Changyi Mansion temporarily.

Before officially starting to "use Huo Guang's pot to cook the rice of the Son of Heaven", Liu He also had to talk to Huo Guang about the separation of powers more clearly, so as not to make any mistakes in the future.

The villain first, then the gentleman, negotiate the price code well, and then it is easy to do things - this matter must be determined in the form of an edict and announced to the world, so that Liu He can be completely relieved, and only then can he completely cut off the possibility of Huo Guang's "counterattack" in the future.

"Father Zhong, I called you to Weiyang Palace today to discuss with you the matter of letting me participate in politics."

"Well, the old man heard that a group of officials and slaves came from Changyi Country, presumably they will help Your Majesty, right?"

Huo Guang said proudly and calmly, but Liu He couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect this matter to be known by Huo Guang so quickly.

Presumably, before he met Dai Zong and them, the news that someone from Changyi had come to Chang'an had already reached Huo Guang's ears in advance.

Thankfully, I didn't rush it.

"Now, I have temporarily settled them in the Changyi Mansion, and I have not yet entered the palace, and I have come here today to ask my middle father for instructions."

"Your Majesty is the son of the Han Dynasty, so you don't need to ask the old man for instructions on such trivial matters, Your Majesty can directly issue an edict, and the Shangshu Department will directly print the edict." Huo Guang said.

"I see." Liu He nodded.

"Well, what exactly does Your Majesty want to discuss with the old man?"
