"Please Taisun, please immediately issue an order to abolish King Qin's edict. Except for the soldiers of Qianwei in Shu County, all other troops on the road will return to their original places. In addition, we should immediately dismiss the 200,000 civilians in Chang'an and let them return to their respective places to resume production." Huo Guang continued. , now that the overall situation in Chang'an has been decided, stability is naturally the top priority in the country. These civilian men who were mobilized not long ago are actually of no help to today's border war. On the contrary, these people are separated from production, making the already weak national strength even worse.
"Sima Qian, prepare the decree according to the general's wishes." Liu Jin nodded and said. He also knew that the Han Dynasty was now in chaos. Only by resuming production as soon as possible could we have the foundation and strength to deal with foreign invasions from several directions.
"Let's discuss other matters tomorrow!" Liu Jin did not speak, but Huo Guang said first. He had been away from Chang'an for too long. Huo Guang knew nothing about the current internal situation of the Han Dynasty. How could this dynasty, which was strong on the outside but capable on the inside, stand up again? Wake up, Huo Guang actually doesn't know what to do now.
"Then withdraw from the court." Liu Jin nodded and said. This much-anticipated court meeting also came to an end when it was about to sunset.
The courtiers went back to their respective homes, instead of walking and chatting as usual. Too many things happened today, and they also needed to go back and think about many things. And Huo Guang did not stay in Weiyang Palace. As soon as the court meeting ended, he hurried back to Anyang Houfu, the home he had left for several years, where some of his family members were still there!
When the courtiers returned to their respective homes, the emperor's grandson and Princess Jiangdu were also talking quietly in the palace. There were only two siblings in the palace.
"The teacher had already killed Mrs. Gou Yi and Fuling before going to the Xuanshi Palace. However, he also ordered Liu Kui to go to Changyi to join the country. An hour ago, the King of Changyi had left Chang'an City, and Liu Kui was escorted by One of Wang Yuanyou's confidants." Princess Jiangdu tapped her fingers lightly on the desk and told Liu Jin the few things that Huo Guang had to deal with alone today.
"Sister, are you worried about Liu Kun? Maybe it's because Liu Kun has no mother and his mother's tribe has been conquered by the Yi tribe. So the teacher thinks Liu Kun can no longer threaten me?" Liu Jin naturally knew what Liu Xijun meant. Huo Guangsha It is indeed doubtful that Liu Kun was allowed to leave the country in a hurry after marrying Mrs. Gou Yi and Liu Fuling.
"With the teacher's decision-making, even Fuling was not spared, so how could he let Liu Kun go. Does my brother still remember what Li Guangli said before he died that day?" Liu Xijun leaned his head close to Liu Jin and said in a weak mosquito-like voice.
"In any case, the teacher will definitely not harm me, right? Maybe he has some thoughts that he cannot tell us. Don't mention it again in the future. Although Liu Kun is called my uncle, he is just a child, so it is nothing to worry about." Liu Jin now has no doubts about Huo Guang. After all, his life was saved by Huo Guang, and Huo Guang gave him the title of grandson. Even if there are some things that he doesn't understand, he has no reason to doubt Huo Guang.
"That's true. The teacher has helped you eliminate the only two people who pose a threat to you in Chang'an. Then let us deal with your other two uncles on our own! Now my brother is the grandson of the emperor, the future emperor of the Han Dynasty. From now on, we can¡¯t do everything under the teacher¡¯s wings!¡± An excited smile appeared on Liu Xijun¡¯s face.
Originally, the daughter of a guilty minister had an extremely miserable life, but after she met Huo Guang, she seized the only chance to change her destiny. Not only did she get rid of her identity as the daughter of a guilty minister, but she also became one again. The princess of the Han Dynasty became the most respected sister of the future emperor of the Han Dynasty, just like Princess Liu Yuan of Yang Xinchang back then!
"Sister, do you mean King Guangling and King Yan?" Liu Jin called Liu Xijun his sister as always. Not only did he not become alienated because of his improved status, but the two became closer.
"The teacher once said that the King of Guangling is brave but not resourceful. He is just a common man, so there is nothing to worry about. But the King of Yan is a little scheming. What do you think this is?" Liu Xijun first commented disdainfully on King Guangling Liu Xu, and then took out a card with a solemn expression. The letter was handed to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin picked up the letter curiously, and soon he knew the content on it. It turned out that this was a private letter sent by King Liu Dan of Yan to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after the rebellion of Prince Wei last year. The general idea was that he hoped to come to Chang'an to serve his father. The implication was that he hoped to obtain the position of prince. Because Liu Dan did not submit a formal memorial, only a few people knew about it. Today, Liu Xijun accidentally discovered this letter while sorting out some of the emperor's confidential documents.
"It seems that my uncle, King Yan, has already peeped at the position of the crown prince. My sister said that we should handle this matter ourselves. I guess you already have a plan? Tell me quickly." Liu Jin put down the letter and spoke in a long voice. tone. The emperor has moved to Changle Palace. Today Zhang Anshi also handed over some secrets to Liu Xijun. He is not suspicious that his sister can find this letter.
"Now that my brother has been enthroned, King Yan is very angry with him. We can use this letter to find Lao Zongzheng."Then he repaired another letter and sent it to Youzhou to Liu Kang. The Kingdom of Yan is close to Youzhou, and Liu Kang now has tens of thousands of troops. When Wei Youqu is pacified, we will only need an edict to seize the title of King Yan. If he takes the risk, Liu Kang and Liang Wang's army will be on the side, and he will be saved once and for all" Liu Xijun said quietly, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The purpose of looking for Zongzheng Liu Anguo was to deal with Liu Dan righteously, and to gain the support of the clan elders. Giving Liu Kang a secret letter was naturally a precautionary measure, and at worst, the King of Yan could be solved by force.
This Princess Jiangdu is no longer the submissive little girl she was back then. She is a disciple of General Huo Guang. She already has a noble status, has a younger brother like the Emperor Taisun of the Han Dynasty, and has Liu Kang, a classmate of the kings named Liu who has a lot of troops. With these, she has the confidence, and with the confidence, she doesn't have to look forward and backward. .
"It's up to my sister to make up my mind about these things. I want to get the teacher's consent tomorrow to seal all the original Jiangdu land to my sister. These originally belong to you." Liu Jinsheng was in the emperor's house, and experienced the witchcraft case again, and saw that he His parents and grandmother were murdered, and he had no psychological burden for the fratricide in the battle for the throne. He also readily agreed to the proposal to get rid of several of his vassal uncles. At the same time, because of the indifference of these imperial families, he became even more critical of this clan sister who had always been loyal to him. It is indeed unprecedented to grant a land of a country to a princess, and a princess who is not a direct descendant of the emperor.
"Even if it is what my brother wants, my sister will not delay it." Liu Xijun also showed a doting look on her face. Her close relatives had been wiped out long ago. As a woman, she had nothing to ask for. She helped Liu Jin become a man. The emperor has become her only pursuit at present.
"Is there any news about Weng Xu and their mother and son?" Liu Jin asked sadly. They had just entered Chang'an City today. They had experienced too many things on this day. The death of Wei Zifu and Liu Ju had been confirmed a long time ago. However, Wang Wengxu was not confirmed dead. When Liu Jing just gained a foothold, he had already begun to send a large number of people to inquire about his wife and children.
"There is no news yet, but as long as they are still there, I believe there will be clues soon. Don't worry too much, brother." Liu Xijun comforted him.
While Liu Xijun and his brother were secretly discussing how to deal with King Yan, Huo Guang was on his way back to his mansion. He did not take a carriage, but rode a horse directly in Chang'an. Today, the streets of Chang'an City are still sparsely populated, and at a glance, there are basically soldiers coming and going.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, on being promoted to general. All the people on the list have been dealt with." Du Yannian found Huo Guang on the way. Now the news of Huo Guang becoming general has spread in Chang'an City.
"I heard that my uncle is seriously ill. You and Yin Hua should go back home first. I will come to visit in person later." Huo Guang nodded to Du Yannian and said. Du Zhou claimed that he had been ill for more than half a year. This was not because of Huo Guang's instructions, but because Du Zhou was really ill. Until now, they are busy stabilizing Chang'an. Not only Huo Guang has not returned home, but Du Yannian has not returned either.
"Then let me go back and take a look first." Du Yannian naturally wanted to go back and take a look, so he led the people towards his mansion.
"Has the letter reached Princess Jiangdu and the others?" Huo Guang continued to walk towards the Hou Mansion, but then asked Su Wu beside him.
"Zhang Anshi sent someone to say that Princess Jiangdu has got it." Su Wu replied quietly beside Huo Guang. Liu Xijun didn't know that the letter from King Yan was actually sent by Huo Guang to Zhang Anshi for her to discover on purpose.
The young bird will eventually fly into the sky alone. Killing two feudal kings is too easy for Huo Guang now, but he feels that it is time for his two disciples to face and deal with some things alone.
The front door of Anyang Hou Mansion was still deserted. When Huo Guang arrived, the door slowly opened. Huo Guang saw Zhen Youcai and Jin Ping greeting him at the door, but he could feel that they were not happy about his return.
Huo Guang did not see Zhuo Wenjun, and looking at the expressions of the two of them, a bad premonition instantly enveloped Huo Guang's heart.
"Auntie, what happened to her?" Huo Guang asked with a heavy heart.
Huo Guang was already a little scared. He remembered that when he returned to Chang'an from Hanoi, Huo Qubing passed away. And Zhuo Wenjun is already very old, and has long passed his seventies. Could it be that this time he will not be able to escape another life-or-death separation?
"The old lady was about to die a few months ago, but later she heard the Marquis's side message to the Qing Dynasty. The old lady kept holding her breath, thinking that she came here just to wait for the return of the Marquis. The Marquis should go and see him for the last time!" Zhen Youcai was low! He nodded and said with a sad face.
With Zhuo Wenjun's age, everyone had already been psychologically prepared for her death, but when it finally came to this moment, it still made people sad.
Huo Guang didn't say anything, just picked up his clothes and ran towards Zhuo Wenjun's courtyard. When he left Chang'an that year, he and Zhuo Wenjun were actually prepared to say goodbye forever, but when he returned to Chang'an a few years later, he still hoped to see the figure playing the piano under the moon.
Guqin Luqi's voice did not ring in the small courtyard. When Huo Guang entered the small courtyard, he could even hear the maid's hurried shouting from inside the house: "Old madam please wake up The Marquis has returned home"
The old woman who was dying on the bed opened her eyes with difficulty, and her cloudy eyes could just see the door. When Huo Guang came to the door, he also saw Zhuo Wenjun on the bed in the room. The two people's eyes met for an instant, and Huo Guang saw Zhuo Wenjun's hand on the edge of the bed slightly raised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But just when Huo Guang breathed a long sigh of relief, the smile on the corner of Zhuo Wenjun's mouth froze, his cloudy eyes slowly closed, and then his slightly raised arms fell weakly
