Chapter 79: Yilan Hall

"Oh my God! What is that?" Soon someone in Weiyang Palace was the first to see the fire in the northwest. When Huo Guang released the Kongming Lantern, as he expected, the Kongming Lantern then blew towards Weiyang Palace in a faint northwest.

"Wow!" Emperor Wu of Han was always paying attention to the night sky, and he discovered such a obvious scene at the first time. At this moment, he stood up excitedly and showed an unprecedented look of ecstasy on his face.

Because the lights are red and the moonlight is soft white, the light emitted by the Kongming lantern is obviously different from the moonlight. When one thousand seven hundred Kongming lanterns float in the night sky, half of the sky is reflected in a fiery red color. As the Kongming lantern floats over Chang'an, the entire Chang'an city seems to have returned to day again.

"The strange phenomenon from the sky...the strange phenomenon from the sky...This is the blessing of my great man...This is the prosperous age of eternal age..." I don't know which court official stood up after a brief loss of consciousness and knelt down heavily at Kongming lantern, and shouted constantly, even trembling.

"Dongfang Shuo, what's going on? Does anyone know what this is?" Emperor Wu of Han was also extremely excited. Although he had imagined the effect of the vision created by Huo Guang countless times in his mind, when he saw this scene, Emperor Wu of Han almost thought that this was auspiciousness from heaven.

Dongfang Shuo was also lost in his mind, but when Emperor Wu of Han brought him back to reality, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. This feeling mainly comes from the question of Emperor Wu of Han. Dongfang Shuo still remembered that just over ten days ago, there was a firelight in the night sky in Chang'an, but that time was only a little, far from reflecting the sky like now. The first sentence Emperor Wu of Han asked at that time was almost exactly the same as before, but it was later confirmed that the firelight was just Huo Guang ignited a flying light.

When asked at this time, Dongfang Shuo first thought about whether the firelight in the sky was also created by Huo Guang. And the strangeness of Emperor Wu of Han and the situation in front of him, Dongfang Shuo suddenly became enlightened for a moment.

Because Emperor Wu of Han's voice was very loud, all the ministers who were still lost in their minds were shocked by Emperor Wu of Han's voice, and then everyone's eyes gathered on Dongfang Shuo. Therefore, everyone knew that Dongfang Shuo was famous for his erudition and knowledge, and they all looked at Dongfang Shuo with hope that he could explain the scene in front of him.

As the eyes of the ministers looked, Dongfang Shuo bowed to Emperor Wu of Han in an exaggerated manner, and then shouted loudly: "This is auspiciousness from heaven, which is the response to the scenery of Weiyang in Chang'an, indicating that my Han will be forever forever and immortal forever! This is the blessing of all people, the blessing of my Han!"

Dongfang Shuo didn't speak much, just four simple sentences. First, it was confirmed that this was auspicious, and then named this strange phenomenon, which represents Chang'an Weiyang, which means that the Han Dynasty will always be bright and immortal forever.

Emperor Wu of Han was very satisfied with Dongfang Shuo's performance and thought to himself that this guy was indeed a good person. These sentences all touched the hearts of Emperor Wu of Han. However, Emperor Wu of Han knew that he still needed to continue acting, and then said excitedly: "Where is the historian? Quickly record the scene of tonight and tell the world tomorrow that I will keep this matter in history forever!"

"I obey the order!" Sima Tan happened to be present tonight. To be honest, the Grand Historian was also shocked and stunned. Now he has no idea. Anyway, Dongfang Shuo and Emperor Wu of Han say whatever they say. And this idea is not only him, but almost everyone is like this.

"I heard from Your Majesty, such a strange phenomenon has never happened forever. I think it should be a general amnesty for the world and celebrate the whole world!" The censor Zhang Tang walked out. His words surprised Emperor Wu of Han. Because Zhang Tang was famous for his strict law enforcement, he actually said such words as the sun hit the west.

Huo Guang didn't know what happened in the Weiyang Palace. He just waited until the Kongming lantern floated to the direction of the Weiyang Palace and quickly ordered the entire army to get on the horse. Then, under Huo Guang's leadership, the army rushed to the early gates in the moonlight. When the Kongming lanterns in the Chang'an night sky disappeared one after another, Huo Guang had already brought his people to the southeast of Chang'an City.

This time, the entire army lit torches. As soon as they arrived in the southeast of Chang'an, Huo Guang immediately ordered the entire army to disperse and began to look for the remains of the Kongming lanterns scattered outside the city. This was not the plan of Emperor Wu of Han, but Huo Guang's own idea. More than 1,700 Kongming lanterns would definitely not be fully collected, and some of them would even fall directly into Chang'an City. However, Huo Guang thought that as long as these Kongming lanterns were destroyed in large quantities, even if there were occasional discoveries in Chang'an City, it would definitely not attract attention because the number was too small. However, if the remains of Kongming lanterns appeared in large quantities, something might lead to something. Huo Guang could not cover everything, and he could only minimize the risks.

The entire search process continued until dawn. Huo Guang scattered thousands of sect troops, almost conducting a carpet-style search, and searched repeatedly. In the end, Huo Guang indeed collected more than 1,500 remains of Kongming lanterns, which made Huo Guang feel relieved. Such a number had far exceeded Huo Guang's expectations.

Then, without further ado, Huo Guang found a place to burn all the wreckage. After doing these things, Huo Guang knew that he finally let the Qimen Army return to the camp, and then demolished the temporary camp of Sanjueguan, and then turned these people to the Qimen Army camp later. The Qianmen Army had completely completed their mission.

After doing these things, Huo Guang returned to Chang'an without stopping. At this time, the city gate was just open. However, after returning to Chang'an, Huo Guang did not return to the Marquis' Mansion to rest first, but went straight to the county government. When he arrived at the county government, he ordered all the county government officials to patrol on the street. If he found suspicious things, he would bring them back to the county government, and the so-called suspicious items would naturally be Kong Minglan.

At this time, Chang'an City was not the time when the traffic was the most popular, so Huo Guang's move would also have certain results. However, just as Huo Guang was waiting for these yamen runners to come back to report the results in the county government office, an eunuch from Weiyang Palace came to Chang'an County Government office.

"Your Majesty has an order to promulgate Huo Guang to pay homage to you!" The eunuch came to summon Huo Guang, but this should be the case. Huo Guang knew that Emperor Wu of Han would definitely ask him to ask about the situation last night.

So before Huo Guang could report from the yamen runners, he hurriedly followed the eunuch to Weiyang Palace. Although Huo Guang didn't sleep all night, he was still tired at all, because when he saw Emperor Wu of Han at this time, he could know what Emperor Wu of Han would do to him.

The place where Emperor Wu of Han summoned Huo Guang was still in the Jinhua Hall, and the Kongming lantern that Huo Guang saw last time was still stored in the hall.

"Your dear last night, thank you! You did not disappoint me." Emperor Wu of Han expressed his gratitude to Huo Guang at the first sentence. Huo Guang could also feel that Emperor Wu of Han was really happy.

"It is my duty to share your worries for Your Majesty." Huo Guang was still so concise, not seeking credit or complaining.

"Looking at my dear appearance, I seemed to have not slept all night, so what have I been doing?" Emperor Wu of Han did not directly talk about the strange phenomena last night, but seemed to be just caring about Huo Guang and asking casually.

"Return to Your Majesty, I searched the southeast of Chang'an last night and destroyed all the things that should not have appeared. I ordered the Chang'an County Government to find suspicious things in the city early this morning. Now I have completed ten of the **s, and the rest is no longer worth worrying!" Huo Guang's answer was relatively implicit, but the meaning was still very clear, which was to tell Emperor Wu of Han that he had done almost the end of the matter.

"Oh? Very good. I am so relieved to do things. A few days ago, I strictly implemented the money order, which played a positive role in the implementation of laws in the entire court. This is a great achievement. I wonder what kind of reward I want?" Emperor Wu of Han was obviously surprised, but he was really happy about the accident. He did not expect that Huo Guang was so clean and neat, and even thought about the subsequent things. However, Emperor Wu of Han praised Huo Guang but did not directly talk about creating a strange phenomenon, but instead used the money order to lead the Qimen Army to liquidate the Sang Hongyang family to promote the money order.

Huo Guang was very conscious and bowed quickly, and then said, "As the Great Han Chang'an Order, I am responsible for implementing the Great Han laws and regulations. I dare not seek credit!"

"Haha, this clear reward and punishment can bring the world to its heart, and the court officials will use their lives. If you don't reward merits, it is a waste of justice. I don't want to be that foolish monarch!" Emperor Wu of Han said with a smile, and directly rose to the level of being indecent and unjust, which made Huo Guang have nothing to say. However, Emperor Wu of Han said seriously, but did not clearly state what he wanted to reward Huo Guang.

"If nothing is wrong, stay with me for dinner at noon!" Emperor Wu of Han suddenly changed the subject and actually asked Huo Guang to have dinner with Emperor Wu of Han in the palace. This can also be regarded as Emperor Wu of Han's reward to Huo Guang. If it is just rewarded to Huo Guang for implementing the money order, it is reasonable to reward him with a meal, and it is very consistent with the rules. However, if this is the reward for Huo Guang creating a strange phenomenon, it would be too trivial.

"I thank Your Majesty!" Huo Guang bowed again and accompanied Emperor Wu of Han to dinner in the palace. This was indeed an honor, and it was not a treatment that ordinary officials could receive.

"It's just about to be prepared in Yilan Palace today, so you can accompany me to go there!" Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have ended his conversation with Huo Guang, but what Huo Guang didn't expect was that Emperor Wu of Han actually wanted him to accompany him to Yilan Palace for dinner.

If it was just a normal palace, it was nothing, even Huo Guang would not find it strange if he went to the Jiaofang Hall. In the Weiyang Palace, the Jiaofang Hall was the residence of the queen, and the Yilan Palace was generally the residence of the wife. During the Western Han Dynasty, the wife was not a general title, but a title with the second only to the queen in the palace, and outside the palace, it specifically refers to the wife of the marquis.

Yilan Palace was once the residence of Mrs. Wang, the biological mother of Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wu of Han was also born here. Now Yilan Palace is still the residence of Mrs. Wang. However, this Mrs. Wang is not Wang Shi, but Mrs. Wang of Emperor Wu of Han. This is a coincidence, and it can also be seen that Emperor Wu of Han favors Mrs. Wang.

The problem lies with this Mrs. Wang, because he is Liu Hong's biological mother, the prince who was forced to be the king of the country by Huo Qubing. This arrangement is obviously to let the two enemies meet. Huo Guang really doesn't understand what the arrangement of Emperor Wu of Han is meant?
