Chapter 215 Return to the court

This was Huo Guang's last day to arrive at the Imperial Academy. This day was the only time he was late in half a year. When all the disciples of the cadre class thought Huo Guang would not come, Huo Guang unexpectedly came to his hometown.

There were several mighty guards who came with Huo Guang. They were carrying a huge wooden box in groups, with as many as four boxes.

Looking at everyone's curious look, Huo Guang didn't keep it aside and opened the four boxes one by one, and there were neatly placed inside. If you look closely, you will find that the swords in the first three boxes are normal three feet long, while the last box is only more than two feet long.

Huo Guang picked up a long sword and pulled the sword blade out of the sheath in front of everyone. With a "clang" sound, a cold light flashed by, and a cold sword appeared in Huo Guang's hand. Just from the luster of the sword body, you can see that this is definitely a good sword.

"This is a special sword made by the marquis. It is rare in the world. It has patterns unique to the Anyang marquis' mansion. This kind of sword cannot be bought outside. In addition, I had engraved your name on the sword last night. This is a gift I gave to you before leaving!" Huo Guang said to everyone with the sword. No one expected that Huo Guang would prepare a gift for them in the end.

"Liu Jin, this is you." Huo Guang glanced at the name of the sword in his hand, and then sheathed the sword to Liu Jin's name.

Liu Jin stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Huo Guang, and then took the sword given by Huo Guang with both hands. The sword is a symbol of status in this era, and giving a sword is also an extremely solemn etiquette. In addition to its own value, it is also a kind of expectation and trust, just like Huo Qubing gave his sword with him to Huo Guang.

"Liu Kang" Huo Guang continued to recite the name on the sword, and as he pronounced one by one, he quickly gave out more than twenty swords. The swords in the first three boxes were quickly sent out by Huo Guang. If anyone was interested, he would find that the swords were all men, and none of them were from those girls.

Then, in the girls' expectant eyes, Huo Guang picked up a slightly short sword, pulled it out slightly, saw the name engraved on it and shouted: "Fan Ru, this is yours."

"Zhao Yinhua..." Huo Guang continued to shout his names one by one, and even these women got their own swords. When all the girls' names were called, there was still the last sword left in the wooden box that was not separated, and then everyone looked at the weak figure in the corner that had always seemed out of place.

"Liu Xijun, this is yours..." Huo Guang didn't even look at the name of the sword body this time, so he called Liu Xijun's name directly.

"Xijun, why are you still standing there? Go quickly!" Zhao Yinhua reminded in a low voice. At this moment, Liu Xijun stood there blankly. She remembered that Huo Guang left directly yesterday. She originally thought that Huo Guang had no one in the sword gift, but Huo Guang did not forget her.

"You are right. Fate will end, but getting along for the past six months also means we are indeed destined!" Huo Guang's face was filled with an intoxicating smile. This sentence was not only for Liu Xijun, but also for the other thirty-five people.

When Huo Guang was distributing swords to these disciples, he didn't know that three majestic men outside the classroom were witnessing what was happening inside. At some point, Emperor Wu of Han actually brought General Wei Qing and Bowang Hou Zhang Qian to the Imperial Academy, and secretly watched outside his hometown for a long time.

"Marty, the general is here!" When Huo Guang handed the last sword to Liu Xijun, the accompanying guard whispered in Huo Guang's ears. This guard had seen Wei Qing, but did not know Emperor Wu of Han, and even more so he could only say that the general was here.

Huo Guang quickly turned around and looked outside the house when he heard this. At first glance, he saw Emperor Wu of Han standing between the two. Huo Guang walked out of the house with a normal expression, bowed slightly to Emperor Wu of Han and said, "I Huo Guang pays homage to Your Majesty, and I have seen the general."

There were three people coming. When Huo Guang didn't know Zhang Qian, he only saluted Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing. Hearing Huo Guang's voice, everyone in the classroom reacted. Unexpectedly, Huo Guang came to Taixue on the last day, and the emperor came in person. These people naturally worshipped Emperor Wu of Han, and this was even the first time most of them met Emperor Wu of Han.

"I heard that Anyang Hou made something called a sand table. Although the thing is small, it has a world of chaos. This morning, the general and Bowang Hou shouted that I would bring them to see it. If Anyang Hou wouldn't invite us in to have a look?" Emperor Wu of Han had a rare smile on his face, and he was half joking and half inquiring to Huo Guang.

"Master Bo Wang?" Huo Guang looked up at the man in the left hand of Emperor Wu of Han and asked in confusion.

"I have seen Marquis of Anyang, and Marquis of Anyang, I have been looking forward to it for a long time! But I have been looking forward to this day. Today, I saw Marquis of Anyang today, and I was indeed a young talent!" Zhang Qian looked as if he had met too late, and even took the initiative to salute Huo Guang.

"I have met Bo Wang Hou. Today, I, Huo Guang, got what I wish!" Huo Guang also looked like a hero who met too late. He really admired Zhang Qian. In this era, there are not many people who truly convinced Huo Guang, and Zhang Qian is definitely one of them.

"Please please in your Majesty!" Huo Guang knew that it was not the time to have a deep conversation with Zhang Qian, so he changed the topic and led Emperor Wu of Han into the classroom.

"Greetings to Grandpa Emperor!" Emperor Wu of Han walked into the classroom, and Liu Jin bowed again.

Emperor Wu of Han was slightly stunned. He seemed to remember something, and then he showed a kind smile on his face and said, "It's Jin'er. A few days ago, I heard your emperor's grandmother mention it, saying that you came to Taixue to study with Anyang Hou. It's very good! You know how to be ambitious than your prince's father!" Emperor Wu of Han praised the eldest grandson with a rare praise.

"Ahem, Your Highness Changsun's intelligence and studious is a blessing for the great Han Dynasty. Your Majesty, let's take a look at this magical sand table first!" Wei Qing coughed twice, and quickly attracted Emperor Wu of Han's attention to the sand table.

The two words of Emperor Wu of Han who seemed unintentional to praise Emperor Changsun just now scared Wei Qing into a cold sweat. If someone with a heart knows about Emperor Wu of Han just now, I don’t know how many more things will happen. Wei Qing was still afraid of this for a long time!

Then Huo Guang explained the sand table in detail to Emperor Wu of Han, and then asked these disciples of the Imperial Academy to perform a deduction on the sand table, which made Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing and others amaze. Wei Qing even directly asserted that the role of this sand table can be at least as high as that of the ten generals of the Han Dynasty, and their admiration for the sand table is self-evident.

"Marquis of Anyang, I will discuss some major events at the Weiyang court meeting tomorrow. You have been idle for more than half a year. It is time to come to court." Emperor Wu of Han led Wei Qing and Zhang Qian to walk outside the Imperial Academy accompanied by Huo Guang, and said casually while walking with Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have completely forgotten the words of Huo Guang. Huo Guang was demoted to the Imperial Academy, and it seemed that Huo Guang had deliberately been lazy and refused to go to court for the past six months. Of course, Huo Guang could not say much at this time, so he could only nod his head slightly and responded: "I obey the order."

Seeing Emperor Wu of Han gradually disappearing outside the Imperial Academy, the disciples of the cadre not far behind Huo Guang all surrounded him happily. They surrounded Huo Guang and congratulated Huo Guang on his return to the court, "Congratulations to Marquis Anyang for returning to the court."

As Huo Guang's disciples, these people were really happy for Huo Guang at this moment, because the emperor's words just now meant that Huo Guang was about to be activated again, and Huo Guang will officially return to the court from tomorrow.

"Haha, return to the court... it's far from this leisure there..." Huo Guang said lightly, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

A special dynasty meeting held by Emperor Wu of Han began in the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace the next day when Chaoyang was born. This dynasty meeting was nominally about discussing the issue of missions of the Western Regions. When the Prime Minister, Censor and General Wei Qing, among the three dukes, finally appeared in front of the Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang, the Marquis of Anyang, who had not appeared for half a year, actually appeared almost at the same time as the three of them.

Huo Guang's appearance made the court meeting filled with a different aura from the beginning. However, when he arrived at Xuanshi Hall, Huo Guang found that there was no seat in his original position, so he didn't have any face, so he found a place at the end of the left general and sat down.

Soon, Emperor Wu of Han appeared above the Xuanshi Hall, and officially kicked off today's meeting in the worship of the ministers. Originally, the tone of today's meeting had been set by Emperor Wu of Han to discuss the issue of missions of the Western Regions. However, when the Great Xing ordered Shangqiu Cheng and Bowang Hou Zhang Qian to stand up and speak, the civil and military officials in the court felt some unusual smell.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Just when the court meeting was full of awkward atmosphere, Huo Guang's slightly lazy voice sounded at the end of the hall.

"Oh, what's wrong with Marquis Anyang? Why did Marquis Anyang sit behind? Come up quickly!" Emperor Wu of Han looked at Huo Guang without any dissatisfaction, and even seemed to have forgotten the tense unhappiness at the court meeting for half a year, and also signaled the eunuch to talk about Huo Guang's seat moving forward.

Huo Guang now only has the title of Anyang Marquis and does not have any specific official positions, so the eunuch was a little unsure about the arrangement of the seats, so he had no choice but to place him in the front position on the left middle.

After the seat was settled, Huo Guang slowly stepped out, stood in the middle of the hall and bowed respectfully to Emperor Wu of Han, and then said in a bright voice: "Now Your Majesty is powerful to all the seas, attacking the Huns in the north, pacifying the south of the south, and the four barbarians surrender, and all nations come to pay tribute, and there are also auspiciousness from the sky, and the Nine Cauldrons are coming back. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the four seas are singing and dancing to peace. Our Han Dynasty has created a prosperous era that has never been seen in history. I ask Your Majesty to worship Mount Tai..."

As soon as Huo Guang's words fell, the court was silent. No one expected that Huo Guang would come up with such a topic when he went to court on the first day. In an instant, the civil and military officials in the court were thinking a lot.

"I'm going to discuss it!" Before everyone could react, Lu Bode, one of the nine ministers, had already stepped out and said.

"I will also discuss it!" Almost at the same time, Zhu Maichen, the chief lieutenant who was also one of the nine ministers, also left the list.

"I am discussing...I am discussing..." In the next moment, no less than ten officials from Qianshi also said in unison. These people were all officials who depended on Huo Guang.

"I also think what Anyang Hou said is very true. I ask Your Majesty to worship Mount Tai!" Finally, as the leader of the nine ministers and in charge of the ancestral temple sacrifices, Kong Lin, also joined the queue of the attached discussion after hesitating for a moment.

At this time, whether it was the newly promoted Prime Minister Zhao Zhou, the Censor Shi Qing, or the remaining court officials, they all knew that Emperor Wu of Han had a foregone conclusion on the Fengshan Tai!
