- Huo Guang stood at the door of the room, leaning on the door frame. He saw Zhuo Wenjun close to him on the bed, but he could not move for a long time. I came back full of hope, but after just one glance, I realized that the yin and yang were finally separated!
"Old Madam" Zhuo Wenjun's maids knelt down in front of the bed. These maids had served Zhuo Wenjun for several years. At this moment, several maids were also crying in grief.
After standing in silence for a long time, Huo Guang slowly walked towards the bed with heavy steps. Now in Huo Guang's heart, the name Zhuo Wenjun not only represents a generation of talented women, but also represents his closest relatives.
"My lord, I would like to express my condolences I wonder what standards should be followed for the funeral of the old lady?" When Huo Guang approached the bed, Zhen Youcai and Jin Ping also followed. Seeing Huo Guang's dejected look, Zhen Youcai reminded him in a low voice from behind.
Huo Guang did not answer immediately. Instead, he knelt in front of the bed and reached out to hold Zhuo Wenjun's hanging hand. It was still a little warm in the hand, but the lifeless stiffness made Huo Guang clear that Zhuo Wenjun had completely left this world.
A drop of tear fell from Huo Guang¡¯s eyes and fell on the back of Zhuo Wenjun¡¯s hand, but the person on the bed could no longer feel it!
"Let's arrange it according to the specifications of the mother of Liehou, and choose the location near Sima Xiangru's tomb." Huo Guang said softly, reaching out to cover his eyes.
"Mr. Hou, you haven't rested for several days. Leave Mrs. Zhuo's future to me. Mr. Hou should give top priority to important matters." Jin Ping squatted behind Huo Guang and stretched out his hand to gently caress Huo Guang's back.
People in the Hou family are also aware of Huo Guang's events in the past few days. Jin Ping knows that Huo Guang still has many important things to deal with, and those are important events related to the entire country of Han Dynasty. Zhuo Wenjun's funeral must not delay Huo Guang.
"If you have money, send my greeting card to the Anping Marquis' residence, and tell me that I will come to visit you in person later. Ping'er, prepare Tang Mu for me. You can change the clothes for the wife" Huo Guang lowered his voice. The head ordered several things in succession.
He rushed all the way to Chang'an. Indeed, he had not rested much for several days, and he had not bathed once in the past half month. Whether it was for his own appearance as a general or for the next visit to Sang Hongyang's mansion, he had to bathe. Change clothes.
¡°After Huo Guang stabilized the situation in Chang¡¯an, the first person he looked for was his long-standing rival Sang Hongyang. When the list of side letters to the Qing emperor was determined this time, many important officials in Hexi requested that Sang Hongyang be listed at the top of the list. Everyone in the world knew that Sang Hongyang was Huo Guang's mortal enemy. To the point of not giving up. But no one expected that in the end Huo Guangli removed Sang Hongyang's name from the list despite all the opinions.
In the Hou Mansion, Huo Guang was lying in a wooden barrel. Jin Ping trimmed his beard and temples. The warm bath briefly restored Huo Guang's exhausted body. He had not had a good rest for more than a month.
Jin Ping's movements were very gentle and slow. He could feel Huo Guang's fatigue. She hoped to let her husband rest for a while, even if it was just for one more moment or one more breath.
"What time is it now?" Huo Guang still had his eyes closed, but there was no trace of fatigue in his voice.
"It's three o'clock now." Jin Ping replied softly. She didn't know if Huo Guang woke up or if he didn't sleep at all but closed his eyes and meditated.
"Change my clothes for me, it's time to see Marquis Anping." Huo Guang stood up slowly with his arms on the edge of the barrel.
Soon Huo Guang appeared outside the gate of the Hou Mansion with a completely new look, wearing a brand new robe, and his hair had been washed and carefully taken care of. After only less than an hour's rest, it seemed that his energy and energy had returned to its peak. . The magnanimity of a great general makes people feel awe at first sight.
Anpinghou Mansion, this is the newly built residence after Sang Hongyang became a marquis. At this moment, the Anpinghou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Sang Hongyang, the censor of Anpinghou and one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, was also waiting outside the door of his house in a rich dress. Behind him, his son and daughter were also waiting respectfully.
"The general has arrived" A carriage slowly approached the Anping Hou Mansion, and the servants of the Anping Hou Mansion who had been waiting at the entrance of the alley sang loudly.
Theoretically speaking, except for the emperor and Huo Guang's parents who can call him by his first name, the word Huo Guang cannot appear anywhere else. Huo Guang's parents had passed away several years ago, and the emperor had retreated to Changle Palace. In fact, the word Huo Guang had become as taboo as the emperor's name.
"Welcome to you, General" The carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance of the Anping Marquis Mansion, and Sang Hongyang took the lead in bowing and saluting.
Huo Guang stepped out of the carriage alone. He did not bring anyone with him tonight except for three or two followers, and these followers were only servants of the original Chang'an Marquis Mansion, and those who returned from Hexi with Huo Guang were all arranged by him to rest.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. How is everything going, Mr. Yushi?" Huo Guang stepped out of the carriage, slightly arched his hand towards Sang Hongyang, and then said with a half-smile.
"Thanks to the general, it's okay to have been demoted in recent years, but now I am sitting in the position of the Third Duke for no reason." Sang Hongyang also had a smile on his face, and his words were casual but always gave people a feeling of competing with Huo Guang. Feel.
Huo Guang smiled nonchalantly, and then continued: "You haven't changed at all after so many years!"
"The general is a distinguished guest. Let's invite him into the house first." Sang Hongyang greeted him sideways. He has now become the third prince, and he has to be careful when speaking. After all, he and Huo Guang's identities can no longer be as rhetorical as they used to be. The battle started.
In the Anpinghou Mansion, Sang Hong led Huo Guang forward. At night, the lanterns of the Anping Marquis Mansion were lit up, and lanterns were temporarily hung in some places. Sang Hongyang was still meticulous in etiquette, even a little too grand.
"I heard that there is an attic in the imperial censor's house. You can have a panoramic view of Chang'an from the attic. I wonder if you can take me to see it?" Huo Guang stopped after walking a few steps and said.
"That's what the general wants, so of course I don't dare to disobey. The general is here to invite you." Sang Hongyang was slightly stunned at first, and then replied with a normal expression, taking Huo Guang in another direction.
"You don't have to go up. Ah Heng will hold the lamp, and I can accompany the general up." Sang Hongyang ordered the family members behind him under the attic. Then a seemingly ordinary servant walked ahead carrying a lantern to lead the way, and Sang Hongyang accompanied Huo Guang up the wooden attic stairs.
Everyone in Sang Hongyang's house knows that what his master likes most is to go up to this attic alone. No matter it is sunny or rainy, he likes to look at the scenery of Chang'an City from the attic. Sometimes Sang Hong The sheep can stay up there for most of the day.
The attic is not majestic, nor does it occupy a large area. However, it was built extremely high, with five floors more than ten feet above the ground. It is said that the center pillar of the attic is a thousand-year-old tree that was transported to Chang'an from the mountains of Qinling Mountains. Sang Hongyang used hundreds of people and spent several months just to transport this ancient tree, which was more than ten feet tall.
On the top floor of the attic, Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang were holding on to the fence. They were standing on the west side of the attic, looking at the night view of the west side of Chang'an City with the Anping Marquis Mansion as the center.
¡°The general didn¡¯t include my name on Qingjun¡¯s side list, which surprised me¡± Sang Hongyang was the first to speak, breaking the silence. He and Huo Guang stood side by side, and their eyes reflected the brightly lit west city of Chang'an. The night breeze was blowing the clothes of the two of them. If the world hadn't known that they were in the same boat, people might have mistakenly thought that the two of them were close friends for many years, and they were looking at each other by invitation.
"I'm also surprisedit was you who stopped Liu Quya from pacifying the Northern Army camp!" Huo Guang's eyes were still looking at the night scene of Chang'an, and his voice was calm. This was also the first time he had such a calm conversation with Sang Hongyang.
"So you're here tonight?" Sang Hongyang said with a self-deprecating smile on his face, but no one saw this self-deprecating smile.
"I want an answer." Huo Guang moved his lips lightly, his long beard fluttering in the wind, and his voice was blown into Sang Hongyang's ears by a breeze.
Sang Hongyang did not answer Huo Guang immediately. His hand suddenly left the fence and slowly turned around and walked towards the other side of the attic. Sang Hongyang stepped forward, and his voice slowly fell into Huo Guang's ears: "General, come and take a look."
Huo Guang followed Sang Hongyang to the north of the attic. The scenery from the north was almost the same as that from the west. The lights were still bright, and Huo Guang could even see pedestrians walking on several nearby streets. Because since the pacification of the South Vietnamese countries, the culture of the Han Dynasty has experienced an unprecedented leap in development, and the entertainment in Chang'an City has been much more than before. The night market is no longer limited to being held in the West Market on specific days. The entire Chang'an has been The real Changan Weiyang was reached a few years ago.
"And here" Sang Hongyang only stayed on the north side for a moment, then took Huo Guang to the east side of the attic, and finally to the south side.
Chang'an City is no longer the Chang'an that Huo Guang remembered many years ago. Chang'an now has the feeling of the prosperous Tang Dynasty of later generations, or even of later generations. Huo Guang didn't know how to describe it. He just felt that when he saw the glorious night view of Chang'an, the noisy Chang'an City made him feel extremely peaceful.
"Does General know? Just last night, in this city of Chang'anexcept for the footsteps of your soldiers and the hoofbeats of your horses, the whole of Chang'an was dark and dead. It was like being in an abyss, and my heart was The feeling of being homeless and irreparable. But in just one night, the city of Chang'an returned to its former prosperityWhy?" Sang Hongyang stood next to Huo Guang and said in a questioning tone.With.
He pointed at Chang'an Nancheng and slowly moved his fingers across the front of him. Sang Hongyang looked a little excited at this place that he had seen countless times.
Huo Guang¡¯s face was calm and he didn¡¯t answer Sang Hongyang. He just held the fence harder.
Without waiting for Huo Guang to answer, Sang Hongyang didn't seem to really want Huo Guang to answer. His voice just paused for a moment and then slowly spoke again. This time, his voice lacked the excitement and surge just now, and it was like a whisper in the middle of the night: "Because they feel at ease They believe in you. They don't have to worry about being woken up in their sleep, they don't have to worry about being arrested and thrown into jail while walking in the market, and they don't have to worry about losing their lives at some point."
Huo Guang still didn't say anything, and even continued to lean on the railing and look at him. He seemed to ignore Sang Hongyang at all. It looked like Sang Hongyang was talking to himself.
"Huo Guangyou have selfish motivesyou have great selfish motives" Sang Hongyang suddenly turned to Huo Guang and stretched out his finger as he pointed at Huo Guang at the Xuanshi palace meeting. Said generally.
Sang Hongyang suddenly called Huo Guang by his name, which shocked the loyal servant A Heng who was standing at the entrance of the attic stairs. He quickly hid himself and did not dare to look at the two people on the attic.
Huo Guang was no longer as angry as he had been many years ago when Sang Hongyang called him by his first name. He slowly turned around and looked at Sang Hongyang, his face still calm.
The two men looked at each other. These two officials of the Han Dynasty, who were once appointed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost at the same time, are no longer young anymore. A censor who has been ranked among the Three Dukes and is in charge of the internal affairs of the empire. It can be said that no one in the entire Han Empire knows this empire better than Sang Hongyang, from population to money and food, from rivers and lakes to cities and mountains. The other one was a general who held the military power of the Han Dynasty. A side letter from the Qing emperor made all the remaining established legions in the empire loyal to Huo Guang.
Meeting Huo Guang's gaze, Sang Hongyang suddenly sighed heavily, and then said a little lonely: "But now the Han Dynasty building is about to collapse, powerful enemies have entered the country, and war is everywhere. The domestic population has dropped sharply, and the agriculture and business have become decadent and sluggish. , such a critical situation is already terminally ill To break this critical situation, the emperor is already too old, let alone the prince. The ministers and ministers of the Manchu court can do well, and the Liu clan is not enterprising enough. Although I, Sang Hongyang, think highly of myself, But when you leave your army in Fushi to resist the Huns, I have to admit that maybe you are the only one who can lead the Han people through the difficulties."
Sang Hongyang almost lowered his head. He even understood the current situation of this country better than Huo Guang. He finally told the reason why he helped Huo Guang appease Chang'an last night.
Huo Guang stared at Sang Hongyang for a long time, as if Sang Hongyang's answer was not satisfactory to him.
"Yes, I am selfish, but who is selfless? I want to control my own destiny, I want no one to threaten the people around me, I want a young wise king to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, these are all My selfishness. So I came back to Chang'an I even want to make Chang'an the real Chang'an" Huo Guang took a step forward and got closer to Sang Hongyang. He doesn't shy away from saying that he has selfish motives. But when he said the last sentence, 'Let Chang'an become the real Chang'an,' Sang Hongyang's body visibly trembled slightly.
"You know, these are not the answers I want!" Huo Guang suddenly said lightly, looking at Sang Hongyang. At this time, Sang Hongyang also met Huo Guang's eyes again.
"Chang'anChang'an" Sang Hongyang repeated these two words in a low voice, as if he was struggling in his heart! - Didn't finish reading?
