Chapter thirty-seven beautiful women
Huo Guang took Li Yan and his sister back to the Champion Hou Mansion, and then sent several guards and a carriage to take the brother and sister back. Chang'an City is actually more than 20 miles away from Maoling, but this journey has been built into a wide stone road, and it doesn't take much time for the carriage to travel.
Just at dusk, Huo Qubing finally came back from Weiyang Palace. The first thing Huo Guang did was to tell Huo Qubing about the friction between today and Sang Hongyang.
"Why is it him?" Huo Qubing said unexpectedly when he heard Huo Guang mention Sang Hongyang.
"What's wrong with brother? What's the problem?" Huo Guang didn't expect that a mere Sang Hongyang would make Huo Qubing look unexpected.
"Today, Your Majesty summoned several ministers. Your Majesty intends to re-order the currency system, dismantle the Sanzhu coins, and cast Wuzhu coins. During this period, Marquis Anle recommended one person to Your Majesty, which was Sang Hongyang. I think Your Majesty also intends to re-use Sang Hongyang, so we have some concerns about dealing with him." Huo Qubing briefly explained the situation of entering the palace recently. Huo Guang did not expect that things would be so coincidental that he actually entered the vision of Emperor Wu of Han at this time.
"I think Sang Hongyang is already hating me to the core. If this person becomes bigger, it will be a big trouble for us." Although Huo Guang knew that Sang Hongyang's rise was the general trend, and in terms of the overall economic situation of the Han Dynasty, leaving Sang Hongyang is more beneficial than disadvantages. Now even Huo Guang has some contradictions. Should he stay Sang Hongyang to restore the Han Dynasty's economy, or should he be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid a big trouble for him.
"Don't worry about this matter first. This person is not worth worrying about. He will not threaten us within ten years. But I want to check what his relationship with Anlehou!" Huo Qubing didn't care much about Sang Hongyang. As Huo Qubing said, even if Sang Hongyang was allowed to develop and give him ten years to rise, it would not be possible to threaten the huge power of Wei and Huo's relatives. However, if this person had any unknown relationship with Li Cai, it would be worth noting.
"By the way, brother, I have something to tell you. I have no objection today and found the traces of former General Sima Xiangru. I plan to visit him tomorrow. Sima Xiangru's knowledge and literary talent are rare in the world, and I admire him for a long time." Huo Guang knew that as long as he told Sang Hongyang's matter, Huo Qubing would naturally stay to deal with it. Then he mentioned the matter of visiting Sima Xiangru tomorrow.
"Hey, you actually found him? Although this person has resigned, I heard from the queen that His Majesty often took out his articles and read them. It can be seen that this person still occupies a very important position in His Majesty's heart, and Sima Xiangru also served His Majesty for some time back then, and he had a lot of knowledge about His Majesty's preferences. If he could get some advice from this person, it would be very beneficial to you in the future." When Huo Qubing heard that Huo Guang was going to visit Sima Xiangru, he hurriedly pointed at Huo Guang.
However, Huo Qubing's words were as expected by Huo Guang. He originally only admired Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, but now he knows that Sima Xiangru is now like the hermits in the novels, and he can even know some unknown side of Emperor Wu of Han from him.
"I should remember my brother's teachings. I don't know if my brother knows what Sima Xiangru likes, and I'm ready to go here." Huo Guang's original meaning of this was that he hoped that Huo Qubing could tell him Sima Xiangru's preferences.
"This... Sima Xiangru is from Shu County, and I have not worked with him, so he doesn't know much about his preferences. However, this person is good at music, so I think he can start from now on. There is a Qiang flute from the 'Qingyi Qiang Kingdom' in his mansion. You might as well go there in the name of studying." Huo Qubing lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering. Although Huo Qubing and Sima Xiangru were both ministers of Emperor Wu of Han, they were both literary and military, and they were very different in age. In addition, Huo Qubing had been fighting all year round, so he did not have much interaction with Sima Xiangru.
However, after careful consideration, Huo Qubing's idea was indeed very good. Because although the Chang'an City gathered people from all over the world, the Qiang people far away in the deep mountains of Bashu have never appeared in Chang'an City. Sima Xiangru happened to be from Shu County, and he also represented the Western Han Dynasty's court on missions to the southwest Yi, so it was legitimate to find him to learn Qiang flute.
"Brother's move is really wonderful!" Huo Guang couldn't sigh, even though Huo Qubing was his brother and like his teacher, he could always give Huo Guang some advice. Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but think of the historical ending of Huo Qubing's premature death. It seems that we must start investigating the cause of Huo Qubing's premature death as soon as possible!
"By the way, there is another thing you should remember. I suspect that although Sima Xiangru is in seclusion, His Majesty knows his whereabouts, and even his every move may be under His Majesty's surveillance!" Huo Qubing thought for a while and continued. Although he was just a guess, Huo Guang believed in his words. At this time, Huo Guang couldn't help but become curious. Sima Xiangru should die soon afterwards. What else should a dying person be worthy of Emperor Wu of Han?
Is it just because Emperor Wu of Han appreciated Sima Xiangru's articles? Huo Guang felt that things were not just that simple!
"Well, I have written it down. I wonder what my brother has to give?" Huo Guang suddenly felt that he, a time traveler and a future person who already knows history, did not understand the real history at this moment.
"You go to Maoling tomorrow, but there will be no arrangements the day after tomorrow. Let's go to my uncle's place together. Princess Dangli will go. This time, it's the uncle who invited his family to gather together, but in fact there is something big to discuss. My uncle and I think you should also participate, and you will also listen to your opinions at that time!" Huo Qubing talked to Huo Guang in private and the atmosphere was relaxed, but when he said these words, he was very cautious and even a little depressed.
In private, Huo Guang could rarely see Huo Qubing's expression. He immediately understood that Wei Qing told the Taimiao that he would let his brothers meet in the mansion, but there was actually a major matter to discuss. Moreover, Huo Qubing said just now that even Princess Dangli was going to go, so this matter was definitely not simple. Princess Dangli was the first child of Wei Zifu and Emperor Wu of Han, and the eldest sister of Prince Liu Ju. Since she was involved, Huo Guang probably had to do with the prince. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing also allowed themselves to participate. It seemed that they really did not regard themselves as outsiders!
"Well, I understand!" Huo Guang thought about this and felt a little heavy. He just said a few words simply. After all, the matter involves the prince, and the core figures of Wei Huo's foreign relatives need to gather together. Such a matter is also an amazing event for the entire Han Dynasty. Because if Wei Huo's foreign relatives mobilize all their strength to complete one thing, then this matter is enough to shock the entire Han Dynasty!
Huo Guang got up early the next morning, but he thought he had gotten up early, but there were still people who got up earlier than him, and they were not from the Marquis' Mansion, but Li Yan, who had just met Huo Guang yesterday.
As soon as Huo Guang got together, a servant came to report that a young sister came to him with a jade pendant. Because Li Yan took the jade pendant, the servant of the Hou Mansion had to invite her into the mansion even before dawn. Because of Li Yan's arrival, Huo Guang just hurriedly washed up and went to see Li Yan.
When Huo Guang saw Li Yan in the main hall, she saw her sitting in the hall with restraint, just looking around. Huo Guang probably thought she had never entered a high-gate mansion like the Champion Hou Mansion, and it was too nervous.
"Are you..." Huo Guang walked into the hall and was about to speak, but saw Li Yan wearing dusty appearance, and it seemed that she had fallen a few times.
"Ah... Master. I made the young master laugh. I set off before dawn. It was too dark and I fell a few times. Fortunately, I happened to catch up with the city gate, which made the young master laugh." Li Yan stood up cautiously and said shyly.
When Huo Guang heard Li Yan's words, a trace of inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. He didn't expect that Li Yan would set off from Maoling in the middle of the night and enter the city when Chang'an opened the city gate. At this moment, Huo Guang was both sad and moved. How courage would it take for a little girl to walk more than twenty miles of night? Even though Huo Guang was so kind, he had to admit that he was conquered by Li Yan's actions!
"Oh, why are you doing this? Xian'er Lan'er, you take Li Yan's sister to change her clothes. I'm waiting for you in the canteen early. We'll have eaten big food before leaving." Huo Guang sighed, but he didn't wait for Li Yan to continue saying anything, and then ordered his maid to change Li Yan's clothes.
Soon, Li Yan changed her clothes and appeared in the cafeteria. Huo Guang didn't say much to Li Yan during this period. Both of them ate some food silently. I don't know if Li Yan has a small appetite or because she was too reserved, she ate very little food. Huo Guang probably didn't eat more than half of her own.
This time Huo Guang went to Maoling to visit Sima Xiangru, but only the seventh and eighth brothers followed him. However, Huo Guang and Li Yan got on a carriage. The carriage went forward and soon left Chang'an City. Huo Guang and Li Yan sat side by side on the way in Chang'an City, but they didn't say a word.
Shortly after leaving Chang'an City, Li Yan finally spoke first: "I think the young master is worried all the way, it's not yesterday, right?"
"My sister-in-law is worried too much. How could the Marquis' Mansion, the dignified champion, be afraid of a businessman? And don't call me young master in the future, just call me A Guang. Anyway, everyone in her family calls me that." Huo Guangda was not thinking about Sang Hongyang's affairs, but imagined in his heart what kind of people a generation of literary masters and talented women Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun were, and how he should have a good relationship with them. And when he said this, he actually wanted to further get closer to Li Yan.
"It's okay to tell me not to call you young master, but you have to promise me something?" Li Yan glanced at Huo Guang, then quickly looked away, and even Huo Guang didn't notice this look.
"Oh? It seems that you are also suitable for being a businessman, so tell me." Huo Guang looked at Li Yan curiously, but Li Yan still lowered her head, and the two of them did not meet together.
"If you tell me not to call you young master, then don't call me sister-in-law in the future, just call me Yan'er, and my family is also..." Li Yan said in a low voice, but the lower the voice became, and the last few words were even more incomprehensible.
Huo Guang's cheeks were flushed after seeing Li Yan say this. He was not a fool, so why couldn't see the form in front of him clearly? At the same time, Huo Guang also understood that Li Yan was misunderstanding his words, "Everyone in her family called that."
Suddenly the atmosphere in the carriage became a little ambiguous. Huo Guang couldn't stand it anymore when facing a peerless beauty like Li Yan. Although this peerless beauty has not yet matured, Huo Guang also began to ask himself in his heart. Could the beauty be beside him be Mrs. Li of Emperor Wu of Han?
