    "That's right His Majesty's hard work has not been in vain for you to follow Zhang Anshi all these years." Huo Guang suddenly raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop. He looked at Huo Shan and said, with a satisfied look on his face.  look.

    "It will be daybreak soon. In that case, let your majesty rest for a while!" Huo Guang looked up at the sky again and said something incomprehensible.

    "Thank you for your understanding, uncle." Huo Shan sheathed her sword, and the tense atmosphere disappeared immediately, and the two parties were facing each other, only a few feet apart.

    Zhang Anshi breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw everything in front of him, and then quickly turned around and returned to the hall.

    "Teacher, are we just waiting here? Things may change as time goes by!" Zhao Yinhua approached Huo Guang and whispered in his ear. It seemed that if they took one more step, their operation would be successful, but the most unlucky one was  The person who might have stood in their way became the final obstacle.

    "It doesn't matter, His Majesty will summon us soon. I will take the emperor's eldest grandson and Sima Qian in later, and the rest of you will wait outside." Huo Guang said nonchalantly, when he learned that Sang Hongyang had appeased the Northern Army camp.  Finally, Huo Guang was no longer worried about other forces in Chang'an City.

    In the Qingliang Hall, Zhang Anshi approached Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and looked at the old man in front of him who was already in a trance. This hero once brought the empire to glory. He did not appear panicked because of the pressure from outside, but there was an unconcealable expression on the old man's face.  of fatigue.

    "Your Majesty, Captain Fengche drew his sword against Anyang Marquis and the emperor's grandson. They said" Zhang Anshi described in a low voice what happened outside to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    "Oh? Then let me sleep for a while" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty kept squinting his eyes. After listening to Zhang Anshi's words, he just responded lightly, and then there was no movement.  After a while, Zhang Anshi heard slight snoring. It had been a long time since he had seen the emperor sleeping so soundly.

    An unprecedented scene occurred outside Qingliang Hall. A drama of forcing the emperor to enter the palace stopped just a wall away from the emperor.  Sima Qian looked at the scene in front of him and kept thinking in his mind, what kind of rebellion is this?  How should he write this situation into historical records?

    The long and silent wait finally ended when the first ray of light appeared on the horizon.  The dignitaries of Chang'an City stayed up all night. They had already put on their best clothes and were waiting for the final result in their mansions.  The road from Weiyang Palace to the outside world has been completely blocked, and the situation inside the palace cannot be communicated. However, countless pairs of eyes are looking at Weiyang Palace from a distance with eager anticipation.

    "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanyang Hou Huo Guang appears!" The door of Qingliang Hall slowly opened, and Zhang Anshi stood outside the hall and shouted loudly.

    Hearing this, Huo Guang raised his head and glanced at Qingliang Palace, then took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Huo Qi beside him.  When Zhang Anshi read out the decree, Huo Shan also waved his hand to signal the guards behind him to withdraw their formation and make way for them.

    "Follow me in to see Your Majesty." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only had Huo Guang in his orders, but he still told Liu Jin and Sima Qian that he would take them in together.

    Huo Guang led the two of them towards the Qingliang Hall. This time, Huo Shan did not stop him because there were two more people. When Huo Guang walked past Huo Shan, he bowed to Huo Guang and saluted. Huo Guang did not stop, but gave a slight smile.  He nodded sideways.

    In the Qingliang Hall, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already put on a full dress, and his sparse snow-white hair had also been taken care of meticulously.  At this moment, he was sitting upright on the soft bed, with several pillows behind him.

    "Your Majesty, Huo Guang, pays homage to your Majesty." Stepping onto the floor of the Qingliang Hall, Huo Guang bowed in the direction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from a distance and shouted as if he had met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the first time more than ten years ago.

    But unlike more than ten years ago, when Huo Guang kept his head down and waited for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this time he just bowed and then walked straight forward.

    "The Marquis Anyang is back?" While Huo Guang was walking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's old voice came from behind the curtains in the palace.  The voice was still majestic but could no longer conceal the aura of old age.

    Huo Guang continued to move forward, directly passed the hanging curtains, and saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sitting on the soft couch, then he stopped and said flatly: "I am back?"

    "My grandson pays homage to his grandfather." Liu Jin also followed Huo Guang. When he crossed the curtain, he knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  However, he did not call him emperor or your majesty, but directly called Emperor Wu of Han as his grandfather according to his seniority.

    "Sima Qian, a common man, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor." Sima Qian came last and bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    "Sima Qian? Are you here too? Your essay was well written!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed a little surprised when he heard Sima Qian's voice, and then complimented him casually.

    "Your Majesty likes it"By the way, you might as well read this article, also written by Sima Qian.  "Huo Guang's voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time he looked at Sima Qian, and then Sima Qian took out a rolled up paper from his sleeve and handed it to Huo Guang.

    Huo Guang took the scroll and walked directly towards Emperor Wu of Han. He stopped only four or five feet away from Emperor Wu of Han.  Zhang Anshi had been standing next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looking at Huo Guang nervously, and also cast curious eyes on Huo Guang's hands.

    "Zhang Anshi read it to me." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Guang. He didn't know whether he was too lazy to look at it or his eyesight was bad, so he directly ordered Zhang Anshi to read it to him.

    Zhang Anshi took the scroll from Huo Guang's hand and slowly opened it. He was naturally curious about what was written in it.  In his opinion, it should be an edict prepared by Huo Guang and others in advance, which was to ask Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to kill certain people and then abdicate to the emperor's eldest grandson.  But when he saw the first few sentences of the text, his expression became extremely exciting.

    "Read" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said in a low voice when he saw that Zhang Anshi had been silent for a long time.

    Zhang Anshi glanced at Huo Guang helplessly, then lowered his head and began to recite: "The world is uneasy today. In the past, the prince and queen were wronged and humiliated. In the past, barbarians invaded, and the people were displaced I will bow to the crime. I don't dare to commit suicide."  amnesty"

    "This is an edict to punish oneself" After Zhang Anshi's voice stopped for a long time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said leisurely, as if he was still thinking about the content of the article just now.

    "Since ancient times, holy masters have issued edicts on sinners. Your Majesty's skills are better than those of Yu Tang. A mere edict on sins can only demonstrate your majesty's sage. In the autumn when the Han Dynasty is in danger, your Majesty's edict on sins can appease the world and let the soldiers on the front line use their lives.  Let all people in the world be united." Huo Guang leaned forward slightly, and although his tone was respectful, there was a faint hint of persecution.

    "This edict is acceptable, but I have one thing to ask you. Have you ever had any resentment in your heart?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded slightly and looked directly at Huo Guang. This was also the first time for him to be so close to Huo Guang.  Looking at each other, this once aloof great emperor was stared at by a courtier for the first time, and Huo Guang became the first courtier who dared to look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty like this.

    "I will show your majesty one more thing. After reading it, your majesty will understand. I wonder if your majesty can still see it?" Huo Guang was not moved by the aura of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He remained calm and calm, and his words were calm and gentle.

    "Of course it's okay." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed a smile for the first time today.

    "Sima Qian, please present the book about His Majesty." Huo Guang called Sima Qian's name again. This time Sima Qian took out a thin book that he had kept close to his chest, and respectfully handed it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with both hands.

    "This is the present era?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw the thin book in Sima Qian's hand. The four words on the cover were very conspicuous, which were exactly the words "this is the present era".

    "Writing a biography for a reigning emperor You are really bold and arrogant but it is also interesting. You are worthy of being the Marquis of Anyang!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understood the meaning of the words "Jin Shang Ben Ji"  , he reached out and took the book handed over by Sima Qian, and said with a hint of anger at first, but then with a bit of approval.

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty silently flipped through this thin volume with only a dozen pages. As time passed by, the people outside the palace were already anxious, and the dignitaries and common people in Chang'an City were also anxious.  Just as the sun was about to rise, Weiyang Palace was still quiet, with no news at all.

    For the first time in hundreds of years of history, the entire city of Chang'an experienced such a strange scene. The sun began to rise, shining on the majestic Chang'an City. However, the entire city seemed to be frozen in time, with doors everywhere closed and streets and markets.  There are no pedestrians.  Even the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs disappeared.

    "Very good very pertinent I will send an edict to place this book in Shiqu Pavilion, so that it can be published in the world after my funeral." After the time of burning incense, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty closed the book and added  He couldn't put it down and touched the book in his hand, and then said with satisfaction.

    Seeing the look of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang suddenly had an inexplicable smile on his face, and then he bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "Your Majesty, do you think it would be good if the word "Jin Shang" is changed to the word "Xiao Wu"?

    As soon as Huo Guang said these words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expression changed drastically, while Zhang Anshi, Liu Jin and Sima Qian on the side also looked horrified.

    "Bold" Zhang Anshi blurted out subconsciously.

    "Teacher, no" Liu Jin also said quickly. They just wanted to force the emperor to go to the palace, but they never wanted to kill Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    Huo Guang ignored the surprised expressions of several people and continued to stare at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just looked at Huo Guang, as if the people around him didn't exist.  After a few more breaths, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slowly relaxed and suddenly laughed.

    "Hahasowhat a good Emperor XiaowuThis posthumous title is very goodI like it very much. Wei Qiang RuideEmperor Wu of the Han Dynasty"  .Hahahaha?"But you are indeed the person who understands me best" The words Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came out of Liu Che's mouth for the first time. No one thought that a living emperor could say his posthumous title after his death.  . But there was no anger as expected. Liu Che showed great liking and satisfaction for this posthumous title.

    "Tell me, whose heads do you want?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suppressed the smile on his face. He showed a serious look for the first time since Huo Guang entered the palace.

    Huo Guang took half a step back after hearing the words, and then bowed and said: "Thank you for your majesty's consideration. I came here with my troops on an expedition. Naturally, those people who were mentioned in the letter cannot stay. I must give an explanation to the King of Liang and the people of the world. In addition, those alchemists who made elixirs for your majesty."  No one can be left behind.¡±

    The names of Liu Quya, Su Wen and others were mainly written on the side of the Qing Dynasty. Most of them were those who had been rewarded for the prince's case, and there were only about ten people.  However, when Huo Guang saw the pills placed next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he added all the alchemists to the must-kill list.

    "Are these people?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little surprised when he heard Huo Guang's answer.

    "In addition, I have to borrow two heads from your Majesty!" Huo Guang's voice was softer than before.

    "Whose?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became more and more puzzled. He thought Huo Guang wanted to kill him, but why did he ask for two heads?

    "You guys go out first." Huo Guang did not answer immediately, but looked at Liu Jin and Sima Qian.

    The two of them looked at Huo Guang with some confusion and hesitation. At this moment, even a calm-minded person like Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel confused, his heart beating violently.

    "You all go down." Finally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said again, but it had the same meaning as Huo Guang.

    After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke, both Liu Jin, Sima Qian and Zhang Anshi bowed and retreated. Only Huo Guang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were left in the Qingliang Hall.
