    "News from Chang'an: Prime Minister Shi Qing died. His Majesty made Gongsun He his prime minister. His Majesty did not set up a governor in Hexi. Jiang Chong was appointed as Sili Xiaowei. Zhao Jieyu was also canonized as Madam Gou Yi." In the main hall of the Governor's Mansion in Dunhuang,  Lord Cangwu Dongfang Shuo read the official document in his hand and said to Huo Guang and other senior officials in Hexi.

    Now, except for Wu'an Lord Bai Zheng who is attacking Dawan, Lucheng Lord Yi Jixuan and Yancheng Lord Gao Bushi guarding the northern and southern borders of the Western Region respectively, other high-level officials in Hexi have returned to Dunhuang. Even Zhao Yinhua is already married.  Huo Guang's disciples also lived back in the Governor's Mansion.

    "Jiang Chong? Your Majesty trusts him so much? Who are the upstarts around Your Majesty now?" Huo Guang subconsciously mentioned Jiang Chong's name, because this name was familiar to him. It was this man who single-handedly led the witchcraft case.  Unexpectedly, this person was eventually appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became a high-ranking Sili Xiaowei.

    "According to the news from Miss Tang, this person has started to spy on the dignitaries of Chang'an and important ministers in the court for your majesty a few years ago. This person even secretly spied on the governor. Since the death of Mrs. Li, this person has been used by your majesty again.  Now he is quite powerful in the court." Du Yannian has been in charge of the correspondence of the Governor's Mansion, and he can also see some of the news that Huo Tang regularly sends, so he knows Jiang Chong very well.

    After talking about Jiang Chong, Du Yannian continued: "There are mainly four new people in the court now. The first is Jiang Chong, and the second is Li Guangli, the captain of Shuiheng. In addition, Zhang Anshi has been promoted to Guanglu doctor to serve His Majesty. His  The minister is succeeded by Jin Rixi. Of course, apart from these four people, the young marquis is now highly appreciated by your majesty."

    Hearing Li Guangli's name, Huo Guang and Dongfang Shuo glanced at each other subconsciously.  At present, fewer and fewer people know Li Yan's true identity, and Dongfang Shuo is one of them.

    "Is Madam Gou Yi the strange person that His Majesty found in Hejian County?" Huo Guang didn't talk much about these upstarts. It seemed that he just asked casually, and then became interested in the emperor's new favorite, Madam Gou Yi.

    Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is over fifty, which is considered very old in this era.  However, I heard that when he was touring the world this time, he met a woman in Hejian County who was said to have clenched her fists since birth. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the woman named Zhao out of curiosity, he asked her to open her fists.  The clenched right hand, which had not been opened for more than ten years, actually opened under the decree of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the woman actually held an exquisite jade hook in her hand.  This incident became auspicious, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the woman back to Chang'an. First, she was named Jieyu, and now she became his wife under the empress.

    "It's her. I heard that His Majesty now favors Madam Gou Yi in the Empress Palace and stays in Gou Yi Palace almost every night." Du Yannian didn't know why Huo Tang even knew where the emperor was staying at night, but he still told what he knew.  come out.

    Du Yannian¡¯s words made everyone in the palace look at each other in confusion, and they all showed half-smiling looks. Everyone knew clearly that the Emperor of Han Dynasty seemed to want a prince at his age.

    "Is Su Wu coming back soon? What's going on with Mr. Wu'an? A Guishan city has been fought for almost half a year and it hasn't been captured yet?" Huo Guang paid close attention to the matters in Chang'an and did not show excessive concern.  He knew that if there were any major changes in Chang'an, Huo Tang would notify him immediately.  And although Huo Guang has left Chang'an for several years, Du Zhou is still the imperial censor, one of the three princes. Lu Bode, Zhu Maichen, and Yang Pu are still among the nine ministers. It can be said that among the court officials in Xuanshi Palace  On top of that, one third of them are still Huo Guang¡¯s people.

    "Su Sicheng should be able to arrive in the Dawan area in half a year. As for Lord Wu'an, something has indeed happened. According to the news reported by Lord Wu'an, King Wuwu of Dayuan seems to have been funded by some powerful force, and his weapons and equipment are all  It is much more sophisticated than before, and it is said that some mercenaries from Anxi have joined it." Dongfang Shuo reported the latest news to Huo Guang. Bai Zheng, who had been going smoothly, had indeed encountered trouble in Guishan City recently.

    "Rest in peace? It seems that they have noticed us. These people know how to choose the time Isn't this the time when Sula has no time to look around?" Huo Guang stood up slowly, not because of any reason.  Bai Zheng showed a little displeasure at being blocked, but he still had his usual smile on his face.

    Seeing Huo Guang stand up, everyone in His Highness also stood up.  These people have long been accustomed to Huo Guang's every move, and they know what decision Huo Guang will probably make at this time.

    "Cang Wujun and Yi'an Jun will go to Dawan in person with the governor. Maybe they can meet Su Wu in Dawan by then." Huo Guang decided to go to Dawan in person, and Dongfang Shuo and Li Ling were accompanying them.  .

    It¡¯s the annual Mid-Autumn Festival night again, the lights in Chang¡¯an city are bright, and the West Market opens the night market tonight as usual. This tradition has been going on for more than ten years since Huo Guang.  In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still brought??The queen, the prince, and the important ministers of the court held a ceremony of worshiping the moon, but they worshiped the moon every year. The months and years were similar every year, but the people were different every year.

    Today¡¯s Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has white hair and a stooped figure.  Although Queen Wei Zifu still has black hair, the wrinkles on his face can no longer be concealed. The best years for this pair of queens have passed, but the prince Liu Ju behind them is now walking like a dragon and a tiger, and has matured.  His face became more and more majestic, and he also had some aura of the future emperor of the Han Dynasty.

    The courtiers who worshiped the moon behind Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were very different from those in previous years. There were fewer old faces and more unfamiliar faces, including Jiang Chong, Li Guangli and others.

    In the backyard of Anyang Hou Mansion, a large group of women were sitting together.  On the stone table under the moonlight, there were several palm-sized, one-inch thick round cakes with beautiful patterns placed on an exquisite lacquer plate.

    "Sister-in-law, my second brother sent this to Kuai Ma from Dunhuang. I heard that this thing is called moon cake, and it was made by my second brother himself!" Huo Tang picked up the moon cake and handed it to Li Yan, telling the origin of this thing.  Speak up.

    "An'er, Chengjun, you guys can eat too." Li Yan held the mooncakes, feeling a little nostalgic for others.  Then he squeezed out a smile on his face and said to a five-year-old boy and Huo Chengjun, who was already in his teens.

    ¡°Thank you, mother (aunt),¡± the two children happily grabbed the moon cakes, and then said respectfully to Li Yan.  Two years ago, Li Yan couldn't stand Huo An calling her mistress, so she forced him to call her aunt instead.

    "Mom, I want to take Andy to the night market, can you let us go? We will definitely be obedient and not cause trouble for Nyonya." After eating a few mouthfuls of mooncakes, Huo Chengjun stood up and leaned against Li Yan and said coquettishly.  Huo Chengjun is much older than Huo An. Although she doesn't know that Huo An is her biological brother, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and Huo Chengjun has always acted like a big sister and takes good care of Huo An.

    "You've been thinking about having fun all day? Have you finished your homework for today?" Before Li Yan could speak, Huo Tang looked at Huo An seriously, and there was no room for change in his tone.

    "I've finished answering my mother's questions!" Huo An was very afraid of his adoptive mother, so he lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

    "Sister, An'er is still young, so don't put too much pressure on him. Today is a festive day, so we might as well let them go out to play." Li Yan said with some unbearability. Huo Tang usually treated Huo An  Extremely strict, sometimes Li Yan will come out to protect her.

    Huo Tang's face softened a little, and he still said to Li Yan in a serious voice: "Sister-in-law, An'er is a man, and he has many things waiting for him to do in the future. Since his surname is Huo, he cannot disgrace his second brother.  . If we can¡¯t train him to be a talented person, how will you and I meet my second brother in the future?¡±

    Li Yan was hesitant to speak when she heard this. They couldn't tell Huo An's identity now, and even Huo An himself thought he was really just the adopted son of the Hou family.  As an adopted son, his task is to study hard and work for the Anyang Marquis Mansion when he grows up.

    "Oh, Tang Gu just promise this time. The river lanterns at the night market are so beautiful. I heard that my mother took people there when the river lanterns were put out for the first time. Just let Andy go.  Let's take a look." Huo Chengjun realized that it was her strict aunt who had the final say in this family, so she gave up being coquettish to her mother and turned to be like Huo Tang.

    "Forget itforget itI'm afraid of you little girl. This time, I won't do it again!" Huo Chengjun was the apple of the eye of the entire Hou family, and even Huo Tang was obedient to her.

    Seeing his mother nodding, Huo An also beamed with joy. After all, he was still a child over five years old. Although following Huo Tang made him a little precocious, novelty and fun were still his nature.  The two children happily left the Hou Mansion under the strict protection of dozens of guards.

    Li Yan and Huo Tang are not worried about Huo Chengjun's safety in Chang'an, because her father is the Marquis of Anyang, the only governor of the Han Dynasty. He now has hundreds of thousands of troops to guard the Western Regions, and there are many disciples and old officials in the court. In Chang'an  No one in the city dared not give Miss Huo face.

    After the banquet given by Weiyang Palace, Prime Minister Gongsun He did not return directly to the palace after leaving Weiyang Palace. Instead, he was recruited by Prince Liu Ju to Bowang Garden. Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has built a special place called Bowang Garden for the prince.  Palace complex.

    In the main hall of Bowang Garden, there are not only the prince and Prime Minister Gongsun He, but also Shi De, who has been appointed as the prince's young master, and the prince's nephew Zhao Anguo.  Gongsun He originally also lost the title of Marquis of Nanyang in the last gold-making case. However, because the previous prime minister Shi Qing died of illness, Gongsun He took over the position of prime minister. Since the prime minister must be held by a marquis, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted him the title again.  Ge Yihou.  Because Gongsun He is Wei Qing's right-hand man, judging from his replacement as prime minister, Prince Liu Ju's position is still stable.

    "Prime Minister"The matter of Jingsheng was revealed.  Father is really angry this time. Can you think of a solution now?  "Liu Ju looked at Gongsun He and said with some hatred for iron.

    This Gongsun Jingsheng was born to Gongsun He and Wei Junru.  Wei Junru is the eldest sister of the Wei family, the biological sister of Wei Zifu and Wei Qing, and the Gongsun He family is naturally the crown prince's staunchest supporters.  But the more prominent the family, the more the good and the bad are mixed. Because Gongsun He was promoted to prime minister and Wei Qing died, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly asked Gongsun Jingsheng to take over the position of his father Gongsun He's imperial servant and directly rank among the nine ministers.  But this Gongsun Jingsheng was a complete dandy, and his actions were even more daring. He even misappropriated the military pay of the Northern Army and squandered it.  This incident happened to be discovered by Sili Colonel Jiang Chong, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Gongsun Jingsheng to be imprisoned.

    Wei Junru has cried to the queen several times about this matter, and the prince has been very worried recently.  On the one hand, he naturally hated his cousin Gongsun Jingsheng, but on the other hand, he directly resented Jiang Chong.
