Chapter 109 Independent Portal

After Emperor Wu of Han conferred Huo Guang as the Lord of Anyang, the court meeting ended here. However, until he walked out of Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang was still a little dazed. He only vaguely remembered that he nodded and greeted others all the way, saying "Thank you!" and other words.

As soon as he walked out of the Xuanshi Hall, many court officials walked up to Huo Guang and said congratulations, but people like Zhuang Qingzhai held their own identities and did not get too close to Huo Guang. After finally dealing with these people, Huo Guang saw that Huo Qubing and Wei Qing were already standing not far away, and both of them looked at him with a smile on their faces...

"Uncle, brother." Huo Guang shouted, with a helpless smile on his face.

"A Guang, congratulations! Your speed is fast enough to catch up with your brother." Wei Qing said. At this time, the other court officials were very conscious of not coming up when they saw Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Huo Guang.

"Haha, my uncle laughed. My brother was granted the title of marquis at the age of 18 and became the most powerful minister at the age of 22, which is the best. My nephew was lucky to be named Anyang Lord by His Majesty today, but it is far inferior to his brother." Huo Guang said humbly. Although he was granted the title of monarch at the age of 16, it was indeed amazing. However, compared with his brother Huo Qubing, there seems to be nothing shocking. This is why Emperor Wu of Han suddenly named Huo Guang Anyang Lord, and the court officials were only a little surprised but not surprised.

Because a man who could be called a terrifying figure appeared in the Han Dynasty long before Huo Guang. And it was either someone else, Huo Guang's brother Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing was named the champion marquis by Emperor Wu of Han at the age of 18. After the Battle of Mobei, Huo Qubing was awarded the title of Wanhu Marquis at the age of 22, and the title of Grand Marquis was given to the rank of Sima. Whether it was title or official position, it had reached the point where it could not be awarded the title. Many people even felt that Huo Guang was granted the title of Anyang Lord, and there were also extensions of Emperor Wu of Han's favor for Huo Qubing.

"A Guang doesn't have to be too humble. The title of Anyang Jun is of extraordinary significance. It seems that Your Majesty really has high hopes for you!" Huo Qubing said from the side. Huo Guang's rise was something he saw step by step. The happiest person for this was Huo Qubing.

"Haha, A Guang has been busy these days. When you come to your uncle's house for a while, we will congratulate you." Wei Qing said with a smile. He was inviting Huo Guang to the house to meet. However, now that Huo Guang was conferred an Anyang Lord, he probably will be in constant congratulations. Huo Guang must have no time in a short period of time.

"Of course my nephew is going to come to my uncle's house to bother me." Huo Guang said hurriedly.

After walking out of Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang returned to Chang'an County Government. Because it was less than the hour, Huo Guang had to return to the county government government office.

When Huo Guang returned to Chang'an County Government, everything was still as usual in the county government government, and no abnormalities were seen. It has to be said that the spread of news in this era was indeed slow enough. The news that Huo Guang had conferred Anyang Lord had not spread yet, and what he knew was limited to important officials who could attend court.

It is rare that the county government did not know this news. Huo Guang was able to sit quietly in the county government to sort out the matter before and after. Emperor Wu of Han always had one link after another, and every thing had a profound impact. Even the matter of Huo Guang's title of Anyang Jun had already made many preparations before and before. At first, no one would have thought that the change of Chaoge County to Anyang County would be related to Huo Guang's title of Anyang Jun. Huo Guang naturally would not think that the matter of Emperor Wu of Han was ending in the title of Anyang Jun. No one knew whether Huo Guang was named Anyang Jun or other intentions were included in it.

However, strictly speaking, Emperor Wu of Han only granted the title of Huo Guang, and he was still the Chang'an Order in his position. Even Huo Guang could not attend the court meeting because there were many marquises of the Han Dynasty, and not every one could participate in the court meeting. After all, his influence on the general trend was still very small.

Moreover, Huo Guang particularly noticed the words that Emperor Wu of Han said when he rewarded him. Those words conveyed Huo Guang's achievements one by one. When Huo Guang was named the Minister of the Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Han did not say why Huo Guang was appointed as the Minister of the Cao Cao Cao Cao Cao, that is to say that the reward was not the contribution of Huo Guang to the stirrups.

This happened when Huo Guang was appointed as the Chang'an Order. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han was still not the official position of Huo Guang for his merits. However, this time, Emperor Wu of Han had been in the Battle of Mobei to the opening of the night market, and all the contributions of Huo Guang were included. In other words, the court no longer owed Huo Guang, Anyang Lord, and all the rewards were already rewarded!

Why did Emperor Wu of Han start with the Battle of Mobei? Huo Guang thinks this issue is worth pondering, because according to the customary court rewards, it is a reward for one merit, and it may happen that there is a short time interval, and the previous reward has not yet been received, and the reward should be rewarded. However, this kind of merit is only twice at most, and the interval will not be too long. It is impossible for Huo Guang to have a time span of two years.

Huo Guang was puzzled by this question, but at this moment, Zhen Youcai's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Sir, someone is coming from the palace."

When people came to the palace, they were naturally sent by Emperor Wu of Han. Huo Guang didn't understand. He had something to say in the court just now. He didn't say it at that time, and he had to wait until he returned to the county government to send someone to pass the imperial edict? If Emperor Wu of Han had something to say in front of Huo Guang, or it was difficult to say it in public in the court, there was basically no possibility. Because if this was the case, Emperor Wu of Han would not send someone to the county government to pass the imperial edict, but should meet Huo Guang alone.

"Come on the order of Your Majesty, can you be here? "The eunuch in the palace walked into the county government and shouted loudly. His shout made everyone in the county government very confused, because everyone in the county government still didn't know who Anyang government was?

"I am here, please send an order!" Huo Guang walked to the eunuch. At this time, there was no need to put in incense tables and receive orders like in later generations. He just had to listen to the eunuch reading or take over the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's book, please read it." The eunuch respectfully handed Huo Guang a bamboo slip in his hand. This was for Huo Guang to read, so there was no need to read it alone. The eunuch said that this is a book, which is actually very particular.

There were clear provisions in the Western Han Dynasty that there were four types of emperor's orders. One was called book script, which means the order issued by the emperor to drive his ministers to issue some simple orders or to explain some things to his ministers. The other was called book script, which was a document that issued important legal orders. This was a very formal category, and usually not many appeared. Another was edict, which was also a very formal category. Usually the content of this type of document was known to all subjects in the world, such as enthroning the crown prince, enthroning the world, or killing rebellions. The last one was called a commandment book, which was a document used by the emperor to pass the precepts and had county magistrates or generals from the border.

Huo Guang took the book written by Emperor Wu of Han in bamboo slips. At this time, the others in the county government also understood that Huo Guang was Anyang Jun and guessed that this happened when Huo Guang was summoned to the palace before.

After the eunuch delivered the book, he left. Huo Guang naturally would not open the book of Emperor Wu of Han in public. Instead, he returned to the house to check it alone. However, before leaving, Huo Guang looked at the people in the county government with a puzzled look on his face and said with a smile: "I just went to Xuanshi Hall, and Your Majesty appointed me as the Lord of Anyang."

After Huo Guang finished speaking, he turned around and left. After a while, he heard many congratulations coming from behind: "Congratulations to Lord."

Then the news spread throughout the county government, but ordinary people did not have such keen political insight and did not understand the meaning of the title of Anyang Jun. Although the title of Jun is rare in the court, ordinary people know that this title is still not as good as that of the marquis, so they did not perform too unexpectedly.

In fact, even Huo Guang himself had the same idea at the beginning, because with Huo Guang's background, even if he was conferred as a marquis, it would not be too shocking. Just look at Wei Qing's three sons being conferred as a marquis. Only a few people can understand the extraordinary significance of the word "Anyang" in this title.

Huo Guang opened the bamboo slips and read them carefully from the beginning and found that in fact, the contents were not all given to Huo Guang by Emperor Wu of Han. It was mentioned that Emperor Wu of Han rewarded Huo Guang a mansion in Xuanpingli as his mansion in Chang'an. The other half of the contents were actually given to Emperor Wu of Han to Wang Wenshu, the prefect of Henei County, to choose a site for Huo Guang to build Anyang Jun Mansion for Huo Guang in Anyang County, the fiefdom of Huo Guang.

"Xuanpingli's mansion? I want to set up my own house! But where is there a ready-made mansion in Xuanpingli? Could it be there?" On the surface, Emperor Wu of Han showed Huo Guang this book of strategy at this time to let Huo Guang establish his own house. However, when he thought of Xuanpingli's mansion, Huo Guang thought of Li Cai who committed suicide not long ago, and there was only this ready-made mansion in Xuanpingli.

Having his own Anyang Jun Mansion means Huo Guang has established his own business, and of course he has to move out of the Champion Hou Mansion. Of course, with Huo Guang's current status, it is not appropriate to continue living in the Champion Hou Mansion. However, Emperor Wu of Han sent a letter of advice to Huo Guang at this time, which is definitely not only as simple as it seems. If this was just a simple incident, Huo Guang could not understand the intention of Emperor Wu of Han even if he wanted to break his head. However, in connection with Huo Guang's previous thoughts, he finally discovered the hidden intention of Emperor Wu of Han.

In Xuanshi Hall, Emperor Wu of Han named Huo Guang as the Lord of Anyang, which was a reward for his achievements. That is, the court's reward for Huo Guang had ended, and now he no longer owes Huo Guang anything. At this time, Emperor Wu of Han came to pass the imperial edict again at the end of the court meeting, and rewarded Huo Guang's mansion again. This can be seen as another reward for Emperor Wu of Han to Huo Guang. Although Emperor Wu of Han can represent the court, the two cannot be completely equated in strict terms. The reward for the mansion can be seen as a private reward for Emperor Wu of Han to Huo Guang. However, Emperor Wu of Han did not owe Huo Guang anything, so in this way, Huo Guang owed Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of Han’s actions undoubtedly showed an attitude. You, Huo Guang, cannot rely on your old capital in your merit book. You are the king of Anyang of the Han Dynasty. It is your duty to do your best to do your best to the country. I give you my private residence and you must repay your kindness. Besides, I still trust you so much.

At this time, Huo Guang reached into his arms and touched the tiger talisman that he had collected in his personal care. If Huo Guang's previous guess was correct, then Emperor Wu of Han could take back the tiger talisman after he was appointed as the king. But now Emperor Wu of Han still did not mention this, that is to tell Huo Guang again, how much do I trust you?

Huo Guang didn't know what he would think if he had been someone else, but he had to admit that at least he had some idea of ​​serving Emperor Wu of Han. There was no doubt that Emperor Wu of Han was worthy of being one of the few emperors in the ages, and no one could surpass him in the way of governing the country.
