Huo Guang led nine war horses into Weiyang Palace alone. When he arrived in front of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, some court officials had already returned before Huo Guang. Everyone, together with Emperor Wu of Han, looked at Huo Guang with confusion, not understanding why he was asked to cross Chang'an, but he led nine horses to Emperor Wu of Han.

"My minister, General Pingnan, Jingzhao Yin, and Anyang Jun Huo Guang paid homage to Your Majesty." Huo Guang did not walk into the Weiyang Palace hall, but instead knelt down to Emperor Wu of Han in the hall outside the steps of His Highness.

He reported his official titles and titles in a series, and without waiting for Emperor Wu of Han to say anything, he knelt down and continued to say: "I led troops to the land of Nanyue in the early summer of the first year of Yuanding. After a year, I killed the traitors of Nanyue, eliminated the State of Nanyue, and established nine counties in the southeast. I destroyed the State of Dongyue in the east and killed the King of Dongyue Yu Shan, moved his people to Jianghuai. I destroyed the Cyanan in the west and expanded the county to 300 miles. Today, I will present the nine counties in the southeast to Your Majesty!"

Huo Guang's voice was very loud and echoed in Weiyang Palace for a long time. Both Emperor Wu of Han and the court officials knew about it, but they didn't know what his last sentence meant. The same doubts lingered in everyone's hearts. Could it be that the nine counties in the southeast can still be brought back to Chang'an?

"Please order someone to spread the cloth!" Huo Guang straightened his upper body before Emperor Wu of Han spoke, and shouted in front of him. After this year's experience in Nanyue, Huo Guang had less elegant demeanor as a civil servant, but more rough and honest as a military general.

Emperor Wu of Han nodded slightly, and Su Wen soon jogged behind Huo Guang, directing the eunuch to unfold the cloth that was refuted from the war horse outside the hall.

When the first cloth unfolded, a picture depicting the sun, beach, waves and coconut trees appeared in front of everyone. How did this realistic picture appear? What is even more amazing is that no courtiers in Chang'an have seen this kind of scenery.

Emperor Wu of Han stood up at some point, and then as the cloth was opened one after another, different scenery scrolls were displayed in front of Weiyang Palace. The unique scenery of the southern country, which had never been seen before, was presented to the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty for the first time, and in the eyes of Emperor Wu of Han for the first time.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of Han had no one else in his eyes, and even Huo Guang didn't even look at it. He could not help but take steps and walked towards the huge paintings and silk like a loss of soul.

"Rinan? So this is my Rinan County... Zhuya? There is such a beautiful place in the world, this is my Zhuya County! Yulin County... This landscape is so beautiful? Is this a fairyland? Is there such a beautiful place in the world? I really want to go and see it now!" Emperor Wu of Han completely forgot everything, and only the scenery of the nine southeastern counties in his eyes. He wished he could put down all his government affairs and immediately rushed to see the scenery of the nine southeastern counties that belonged to him.

"Okay, very good... What a few of the southeastern counties are presented in front of Weiyang Palace. General Pingnan is invited to get up quickly!" Emperor Wu of Han shook his sleeves, and his hearty laughter echoed in front of Weiyang Palace. Then he stretched out his hand and helped Huo Guang up in front of the civil and military officials in front of the court.

"I passed on my will to build a Sifang Pavilion in Shanglin Garden. I want to place the scenery of the nine southeastern counties in the Sifang Pavilion, and I will also send the orders to draw the scenery and geography of each county and send it to Chang'an to place it in the Sifang Pavilion." Emperor Wu of Han helped Huo Guang up and stood outside the Weiyang Palace hall and said.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. It is better to build the Sifang Pavilion in Chang'an City. In the future, the envoys of various countries and the Han people can see the territory of our Han in the Sifang Pavilion!" Huo Guang quickly suggested without missing the opportunity.

Emperor Wu of Han was slightly stunned. In the past, Emperor Wu of Han liked to place anything good in Shanglin Garden. However, Huo Guang's suggestion did make him lit up. Only he could see the Shanglin Garden at any time. Although he was rich in territory, it was like walking in brocade clothes at night, and it was impossible for the subjects of the world to intuitively understand how big the Han was. Huo Guang's suggestion was both face-saving and promoting the majesty of the Han.

"Okay, just as General Pingnan said." Emperor Wu of Han said readily. Huo Guang's suggestion could be said to be in line with Emperor Wu of Han's wishes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wu of Han reached out and grabbed Huo Guang's wrist, pulled Huo Guang forward, and said, "When General Pingnan fought south that day, I had said that when the general returned triumphantly, I would be drunk with Weiyang together. Today I will not be drunk or return!"

The Weiyang Palace Hall was filled with delicious wine. Emperor Wu of Han pulled Huo Guang directly to the top. Today, Huo Guang's position was only half a foot shorter than Emperor Wu of Han, and even above the general Wei Qing.

Emperor Wu of Han pulled Huo Guang forward. As soon as he entered the hall, the officials on both sides of the hall bowed to Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Guang. Some of them just saluted, while some of them said words like "Congratulations to General Pingnan for his triumphant return to the court."

Huo Guang couldn't tell whether these people were polite to Emperor Wu of Han or to himself, but those compliments fell into Huo Guang's ears, which not only did not make him feel at all proud, but also felt extremely disgusted.

When Emperor Wu of Han sat down, Huo Guang and the court officials also sat down one after another. Emperor Wu of Han did not raise his glass, and the court officials were still waiting. At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Huo Guang, and many people's eyes were already filled with a hint of gloating. Because at this time, Emperor Wu of Han was reluctant to speak, and only Huo Guang was embarrassed, but if Huo Guang spoke first at this time, even if he raised his jar to respect Emperor Wu of Han, he would be regarded as a person who regarded himself as having great achievements and disrespect.

"Haha, today I can get the best of General Nan and get the reward of His Majesty's fine wine. I will first pay respects to Your Majesty with the wine in the bottle, congratulations to Your Majesty, and then gain thousands of miles of territory and open a prosperous era that has never been seen!" At the critical moment, Wei Qing finally stood up. He bowed to Emperor Wu of Han with the wine bottle, then tilted his head and drank it all.

Emperor Wu of Han still wanted to give Wei Qing a face, so he also picked up the wine bottle and put it to his mouth to drink. Then an eunuch came forward to continue to fill the Han Wu of Han and Wei Qing. As for how much Emperor Wu of Han drank, no one knew.

"I also want to respect General Pingnan and the soldiers of the Southern Expedition of the Han Dynasty. You are all heroes of my great Han Dynasty. I decided to go to Shanglinyuan to reward the soldiers of the Southern Expedition tomorrow." Emperor Wu of Han picked up the wine bottle and said to Huo Guang, and also announced the reward for Shanglinyuan to tomorrow.

"I thank Your Majesty for the soldiers of the Southern Expedition. Your Majesty has toast. I am ashamed of you. This battle is entirely due to Your Majesty's wisdom. The people in the court have done their best. The people in the southeast are deeply grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. I just promote Your Majesty's kindness. The people in the southeast have changed their flags and changed their banners to look forward to the Han Dynasty." Huo Guang did not dare to make any contribution. The atmosphere in Chang'an today is too strange, and it can be said that he is targeting him everywhere.

After Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Guang drank against each other, the atmosphere in Weiyang Palace became much more active. The court officials then drank with Huo Guang without a word, all talking about things on the battlefield. Huo Guang was just right in his position, but he answered Emperor Wu of Han in just a few words, which gave people a feeling of calmness in the battle of the Southern Expedition.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost done, some court officials stepped forward to toast Huo Guang. It was understandable that the court officials toasted, and most of them just said some ordinary compliments. Huo Guang also said a few politely and perfunctorily, and then both sides drank with joy. However, the situation in the court has become strange now, and even Emperor Wu of Han’s attitude is unpredictable, so some people have ulterior motives.

"It is said that a general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone. General Pingnan slaughtered millions of people in the southern expedition. Such great achievements are truly unprecedented! The lower-ranking official is a general who hopes that the general will build unparalleled achievements for the Han Dynasty." The person who came was a young man, looking a little bit arrogant. Huo Guang probably should have entered the court this year.

Huo Guang's city massacre in Nanyue has been known to the world, but he has just returned from a great victory, and everyone is still secretive about it, and no one has mentioned it. However, this person took the opportunity of toasting and suggested that Huo Guang's massacre of millions of people, and his intentions are obvious.

"Thank you!" Huo Guang didn't say much, just said two words lightly, and then drank it all in one go. Huo Guang knew in his heart that he would lose more words today, and the best way was to say nothing.

Then many court officials came forward to toast, some of them had bad intentions, and later some of them simply wanted to get Huo Guang drunk, which made him look like he lost his composure after drinking.

"It's rare that the general is happy, so the subordinates respect the general. The general can do whatever they want. Seeing that the general has drunk so much, I'm afraid he's a little drunk?" Du Zhou suddenly walked to the front of several people who were preparing to toast Huo Guang and said first.

Huo Guang looked at Du Zhou, shakingly picked up the wine bottle, and said in a daze: "I...I'm still...I'm not drunk yet. I'll drink three bottles with Zhongcheng again...it doesn't matter..."

Huo Guang shook and picked up the wine bottle. Before he could put it to his mouth, he staggered forward and fell. Du Zhou quickly looked forward and helped Huo Guang hold him. Then he said awkwardly, "Hehe, General Pingnan seems to be really drunk!"

"I am a little drunk too. Please send General Pingnan back to his home!" Emperor Wu of Han stood up, patted his forehead lightly with his hand a few times and said.

After Emperor Wu of Han left, the banquet naturally ended. Huo Guang was unconscious and was supported by Du Zhou, and deliberately left Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty is okay?" Seeing Huo Guang appear, Huo Tang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Huo Guang. The outside of Weiyang Palace had already become empty, and only Huo Guang's twelve guards and Huo Tang were still waiting.

"I'm fine, thank you for the Chief Censor!" Huo Guang was supported by Huo Tang and said to Du Zhou in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. You will go back first if you don't get out of office early." Du Zhou didn't say anything, and then bowed his hand and walked towards his mansion.

Huo Tang helped Huo Guang to the side of the carriage, but Huo Guang gently pushed Huo Tang away, then supported the shaft of the carriage with one hand, reached into his mouth with the other hand, and buckled it a few times on his throat. Then Huo Guang started vomiting. Huo Tang quickly reached out and patted Huo Guang's back. After a long time, Huo Guang did not vomit anymore, and took the silk handed over Huo Tang and wiped it.

"Get in the car and go home!" Huo Guang didn't say much, but just threw a few words and entered the car.

Huo Tang also followed into the carriage, and the carriage slowly walked towards Xuanpingli.

"Looking at the second brother, this banquet is not worry-free, right?" When Huo Guang entered Chang'an today, many people already felt the unusualness. Looking at Huo Guang's appearance when he came out, Huo Tang knew that this Chang'an City is probably countless times more dangerous than the battlefield in the South Expedition.

Thinking of Huo Guang's appearance just now, it was so similar to the way she vomited continuously outside Zhongsu City that day! She finally understood why Huo Guang said that day, "What is more terrifying than the battlefield is the court."
