Huo Guang left Chang'an for nearly two months. That night, Du Yannian and Shangguan Jie and other subordinates came to visit him in person. He said that it was a visit, so these subordinates naturally came to report on the situation of Jingzhao Yin Mansion in the past two months.

"Your Majesty, Fu Li Hou has arrived!" Just as Huo Guang was talking to several of his confidant subordinates, Huo Tang walked to Huo Guang's side, lowered his head and said in Huo Guang's ear.

Huo Guang immediately stood up and then said to several subordinates in the house: "Let's be here today, and you can go back and rest early." Although everyone didn't know what Huo Tang said, they also took a tactful look at Huo Guang's actions.

Lu Bode is the help Huo Qubing arranged for Huo Guang before his death, and is also the person with the highest status under Huo Guang. If Huo Qubing had not been able to accumulate power, Huo Guang would not be sure whether Lu Bode would truly return to him, but at least Lu Bode still obeyed his own words.

Huo Tang accompanied Huo Guang to a study room. This time Huo Tang did not go in, but stood outside the door to wait. Huo Guang went in for a long time but no one knew what he said to Lu Bode. It was not until a long time later that Lu Bode left Anyang Jun Mansion with a look of worries.

"Hey, why haven't Sister Tang go to rest yet?" Huo Guang walked out of the door and saw Huo Tang under the eaves. After spending more than a month together, Huo Guang had already regarded Huo Tang as his sister, and his name naturally turned into Tang Mei.

"I wonder where you will sleep tonight? I can make arrangements!" Huo Tang lowered his body and asked. Now Anyang County Government not only has Li Yan, the wife of Li Yan, but also Jin Ping, the concubine, so Huo Tang's question was asked.

"In the future, let the servants do these small things in the mansion. Treat this place as your home! You have worked hard these days, so go and rest soon. I have a court meeting tomorrow, and I will ask my wife to accompany you to visit Chang'an City." Huo Guang said with a smile. He asked Huo Tang to participate in the confidentiality, so naturally he did not regard her as his servant.

Huo Tang was moved, but he just lowered his head slightly and replied in a low voice.

There were already people outside the Weiyang Palace, and Huo Guang's frame appeared outside the Weiyang Palace either sooner or later. He was an important official of the rank of the 2,000 stones of Jingzhao Yin, and was only a little ahead of the three dukes and nine ministers. Just as Huo Guang walked off the frame, the frames of the nine dukes and three dukes also arrived one after another.

When these important officials who had 2,000 stones arrived one after another, the originally lively scene outside the Weiyang Palace was much quieter. Everyone consciously lined up and there was no more conversation. At most, they just nodded slightly. Although Huo Guang had not appeared in Chang'an City for two months and had not seen him in recent court meetings, most court officials looked at Huo Guang today with a hint of envy.

Many people are actually guessing that today's dynasty meeting may be Huo Guang's protagonist again. Huo Guang's contribution to the Qingzhou tripod, one of the nine tripods, has the greatest contribution, but Huo Guang's reward has not been delayed. Everyone estimates that Emperor Wu of Han wanted to reward Huo Guang in person, and there were even rumors in the market that Huo Guang would be granted the title of marquis this time. There was a regulation that there would be no military achievements in the early Western Han Dynasty, but Huo Guang had military achievements to quell the Henoi Rebellion. At that time, he was only promoted from Chang'an Order to Jingzhao Yin, and there was no reward for the title. It would be natural to take the opportunity to be granted a marquis this time.

When the first ray of morning light fell on the top of the Weiyang Palace Hall, the Western Han Dynasty officials entered one after another and walked silently into the Weiyang Palace Hall. After the arrival of His Majesty, Emperor Wu of Han appeared on the hall with a crown. Emperor Wu sat down, and the court officials also knelt on their respective seats.

"Your Majesty has an order, and the Lord of Anyang Huo Guang will receive the order!" Su Wen, who was beside Emperor Wu of Han, stepped forward a few steps, unfolded a brocade scroll in his hand, and read out loudly before the court officials could react.

When Huo Guang heard that it was related to him, he didn't care about being surprised now and stood up and knelt down and said, "I will accept the order!"

"The King of Anyang Huo Guang obtained the Qingzhou tripod of the Nine Cauldrons in the Fen River. He made great contributions to the country and had a special title of a thousand households, and he was awarded ten pieces of brocade and a thousand taels of gold." After reading the reward of Huo Guang, Su Wenxuan stood beside Emperor Wu of Han again. At this time, Huo Guang looked up slightly at Emperor Wu of Han, and saw that the eyes were just facing Emperor Wu of Han. Although several feet away, Huo Guang seemed to feel that Emperor Wu of Han was nodding to him with a smile.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Huo Guang said. Although he did not have a title of marquis as rumors were heard in the market, the number of marquises made Huo Guang already have a title of 1,300 households, which is something that many marquis do not have.

There were no less than hundreds of marquises in the Han Dynasty, but less than half of them had fiefs, and the next half were only hundreds of fiefs. The Qianhu Houshou was already a senior marquis. As for the Wanhu Hou, there were only more than ten marquises since the founding of the Han Dynasty. This was still the only one who had cut off his inheritance and was eliminated due to crimes.

The court officials also whispered. Huo Guang was not a marquis, but had already 1,300 households. This is an exception that has never been seen in ancient times. Logically speaking, the title of the king was not as good as the marquis. In the past, Huo Guang had 300 households in his fief. Even if he put aside his title of title, his status was only equivalent to the lowest marquis. But from now on, what should those marquis below the marquis of thousands of households meet Huo Guang? Should Huo Guang be the most respected or the marquis be the most respected?

However, Emperor Wu of Han had given the reward and there was no possibility of any change. These court officials were all individually skilled. In that case, with these people's way of dealing with the world and their skin, there would be no embarrassment.

The reward for Huo Guang came to an end, and then the normal process of the court meeting began. At the beginning, they were still a little unpleasant, but not in Chang'an for two months. Huo Guang found that the court meeting was obviously divided into two factions, one was headed by the censor Zhang Tang, and the other was headed by Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai. I don't know what these two factions thought. Whenever one side raised its point of view, the other side would object, regardless of the big or small matters, it would not care about the right things. Anyway, it felt that the two factions were incompatible.

Huo Guang's eyes closed slightly, as if he was not concerned about his own affairs. It seemed that the two factions had been arguing each other for too long. People like Wei Qing and Du Zhou were also like Huo Guang, and they were acting like they were not helping each other.

Huo Guang also knew the conflict between Zhang Tang and Zhuang Qingzhai. After Li Cai's death, Zhang Tang had the most chance to become prime minister. Even Zhang Tang thought so at that time, but Emperor Wu of Han suddenly appointed Zhuang Qingzhai as prime minister. This was understandable, but Zhuang Qingzhai did not make humble or refuse at that time, which made Zhang Tang very unhappy. Later, Zhuang Qingzhai became prime minister. Because he believed in Huang-Lao's art, he abides by inaction and ruled without any intention of showing off. Therefore, Zhang Tang's power became increasingly powerful.

When he got up, he even had the power to act as a prime minister. In addition, Zhang Tang had always been highly valued by Emperor Wu of Han, and even killed Yan Yi, one of the nine ministers last year for the crime of slandering, and since then, Zhang Tang became even more arrogant. But after all, Zhuang Qingzhai was the prime minister. Even if he gave in, there were still many places that would have conflicts with Zhang Tang. Over time, the conflict between the two sides became increasingly intensified. In addition, the Prime Minister was not an individual, but the entire Prime Minister's Office. Finally, the two forces have become tense recently.

"Enough! If nothing else is going to happen, let's end it here today!" Suddenly, the majestic voice of Emperor Wu of Han sounded, and it was obvious that Emperor Wu of Han was a little impatient.

Emperor Wu of Han heard a voice, and Huo Guang suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, and his eyes fell on Lu Bode ahead through the people. Seeing that Emperor Wu of Han was about to get up and leave, and the court officials were also planning to get up, Lu Bode suddenly moved his body and then shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Well? What else does Wei Wei have to do?" Emperor Wu of Han stopped getting up and asked lightly.

Lu Bode sorted out his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, you have not received any other news since you received the news from the South Vietnamese mission a few days ago. Moreover, the seal on the previous message was not a seal of the official messenger. These two points are quite strange. I am afraid that there will be any changes in it. I beg your Majesty to issue an order to Han Qianqiu, the governor of Yangshan Pass, to find out the movements of the mission."

"Da Xing Ling, what do you have to say?" Emperor Wu of Han looked at Shangqiu Cheng and asked.

"Your Majesty, it is logical that the mission should have news and documents sent back every day, but it has not been received in the past few days. The minister has sent a document to the Prime Minister's Office for consultation a few days ago, but has not received a reply yet." Shang Qiu Cheng said out of the list. It is impossible for the king of Emperor Wu of Han to report everything to him in every yamen. This time the mission was delayed, and Shang Qiu Cheng sent documents to the Prime Minister's Office as usual, but the Prime Minister's Office has been busy fighting with the Censor and the matter has been delayed.

"What's going on with the Prime Minister?" Emperor Wu of Han asked in a deep voice.

Zhuang Qingzhai quickly replied: "There have been a lot of documents in various places recently. I am afraid that the minor official missed the documents from the Honglu Temple. After the minister returned, he would thoroughly investigate the matter."

"Your Majesty has something to say." At this time, Huo Guang suddenly spoke. Zhang Tang originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack Zhuang Qingzhai, but was interrupted by Huo Guang intentionally or unintentionally.

"Tell me." Emperor Wu of Han only said one word.

Huo Guang went out and said, "I have been observing the fact that Nanyue is not a minister for a long time, and I agree with what Wei Wei said, for fear that there is a deception. I think the most urgent thing is to contact the South Vietnam mission and find out the situation of the South Vietnam Kingdom. If you consider the worst, the Han Dynasty must prepare early!"

"Jingzhao Yin is too much of a big deal, right? Just speculation alone, you have to make plans early? Jingzhao Yin's so-called plan is nothing more than preparing for war? Now the national treasury is tight, and Nanyue is thousands of miles away. Besides, where will the court go to mobilize troops now?" The first person to come out to oppose was Sang Hongyang.

As soon as Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang said, the entire court became whispering. Those who could be ranked in the court were not ordinary people. When Lu Bode said the news of South Vietnam was blocked for several days, many people had already had a lot of speculation in their minds. At this time, even the court officials who were unwilling to believe that South Vietnam dared to rebel had to have questions.

"Immediately, let Han Qianqiu find out the situation of the South Yue Kingdom, and the Weiwei immediately reorganized prisoners in the capital to prevent changes in Nanyue!" After a moment, regardless of the court's whispers, Emperor Wu of Han issued two orders in a row. Now, no one in the court knows more about the King of Nanyue Zhao Yingqi than Emperor Wu of Han. If Zhao Yingqi was still there, he would never have had the current situation. Emperor Wu of Han had a bad premonition, so he would have responded so quickly.

When Huo Guang heard the orders of Emperor Wu of Han, he did not expect that Emperor Wu of Han had already made the worst plan in his heart. At this moment, Huo Guang truly admired Emperor Wu of Han's vision and decision.
