Princess Pingyang? Isn’t this the wife of Xiahou Po, the Marquis of Ruyin?
What is she doing here for fun?
Huo Guang was very confused.
Logically speaking, Princess Pingyang was still in the second marriage at this time and Xiahou Po was still alive, so she should stay in Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Why are you here now...
After thinking about it for a while, he went to see Princess Pingyang.
Although Princess Pingyang was already an old and beautiful woman at this time, it can still be seen from her appearance that she should have been a good-looking beauty when she was young.
"Huo Guang meets the princess!" Huo Guang bowed respectfully.
Princess Pingyang was kind. After looking at Huo Guang, she smiled slightly and said, "Are you Qu Bing's younger brother, Huo Guang? Well, you are quite handsome, a bit like your brother."
Forehead...
Shouldn't it be said that he is more like Huo Zhongru?
After all, Princess Pingyang knew Huo Zhongru.
Now it seems.
What this cheap old man did in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion back then was really unpleasant.
No one even mentioned him!
Huo Guang sighed inwardly and asked, "I wonder if the princess is here to have a banquet in the restaurant, or does she have something to do with me?"
Princess Pingyang nodded and said with a smile: "I came here to see you, let's see what you did with these singers I trained!"
"Princess, don't worry. I protect these singers very well. I usually only do things like dancing and playing music. I don't force them to do other things." Huo Guang said lightly.
actually.
In the restaurant, Huo Guang never let these singers do anything that would wrong him.
Compared to before.
These singers were trained to be dedicated to the big shots.
For example, the current Queen Wei Zifu!
Back then, wasn't it a gift from Princess Pingyang to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? At that time, because the first queen could not conceive a child, everyone believed that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not good at that aspect.
Fortunately, Wei Zifu was evil and stopped the comments from those young people.
This is also the reason why Wei Zifu can really rise to the top.
Ancient.
The saying that mother is more valuable than son is true.
At this time, Princess Pingyang was holding the silk stockings made by Huo Guang at the tailor shop, and said calmly: "Your restaurant is quite good at it. I heard that some of the clothes worn by the singers were designed by you, such as these silk stockings." ?」
"Um."
Huo Guang nodded.
Princess Pingyang immediately shook her head and said: "A man's ambition should be like the Yangtze River running eastward to the sea, why do you stick to such trivial things?"
"this point."
"It's far worse than your brother."
After listening to this rather preaching speech, Huo Guang felt slightly helpless.
Having a very outstanding brother is also a very distressing thing. Because no matter what you do, you will always use it as a comparison!
fortunately.
Huo Guang was thick-skinned, as if he didn't understand Princess Pingyang's words, and directly echoed: "Yes, yes, I also think my brother is great, but I am far behind him, so I won't compare."
Hear this.
Princess Pingyang was slightly stunned.
She could imagine a young boy hearing herself being scolded, and perhaps because of his strong temper, he would retort to her.
But he never expected that Huo Guang would accept it so calmly.
Strange.
She remembered that before she came, King Zhao had written to her and told her that this boy had a sharp tongue and would directly attack him when something happened, and even King Zhao did not take him seriously.
What happened today?
Although Princess Pingyang was curious, she still said calmly: "You are open-minded and don't take this matter to your heart at all."
"It is said that!"
"Singers like Le Ya and Jia Benxia secretly went to Chang'an Le Restaurant!"
"Do you want me to send someone to capture them?"
Send people to capture those singers? Is this Princess Pingyang showing her favor to herself...
It’s not necessary at all!
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Huo Guang accepted the princess's kindness, and those singers just left. They won't interfere with anything."
At this time, Princess Pingyang suddenly stood up and walked to Huo Guang.
He seemed about to say something, but paused.
Turn around.
Turning her back to Huo Guang, she walked a few steps and stopped again. Then she said, "I heard that a few days ago, you accompanied the imperial censor to the State of Zhao to investigate the case, and your nephew was imprisoned in Wei County. In prison?"
Zhao Guo investigates the case, the nephew of Princess Pingyang?
Isn't that...
Liu Dan!
Good guy, this is what I saw.
No wonder you came to Le Restaurant here to settle a score with yourself?
Huo Guang then narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Princess, I am just investigating the case based on the facts in accordance with Your Majesty's request. It was your younger brother who finally sent your nephew to Wei County's prison. Emperor."
"Hmph, why are you so nervous!" Princess Pingyang snorted softly, and then said: "I'm not here to hold you accountable. I just can't satisfy King Zhao's request and help him plead with His Majesty to let my nephew go."
put?
The so-called dog cannot change eating shit.
Human nature will not be changed just by being thrown into prison.
If you let him go back.
It is unknown how many women have been murdered by him, and Liu Dan, who has been in prison, will be more careful in the future and will not let his crimes be exposed.
Think of this.
Huo Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There is no way, who gave someone the surname Liu, Liu Bang's Liu.
"I wonder why Princess Pingyang is telling me this? This matter is under the supervision of the censor, Zhang Gong. I can't help, and I don't want to help!" Huo Guang replied lightly.
However.
Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "If you want to find someone for help, you have to ask your brother or Wei Qing for help. How could he come to you?"
"Don't worry."
"I'm here to tell you something."
"The king of Zhao, Liu Pengzu, was preparing to impeach Zhang Tang. Not only did he intend to impeach Zhang Tang on the matter of salt and iron in Zhao State, he had committed fraud and enriched himself. He also conspired with the Prime Minister Chang Shi Dynasty to frame him."
Hearing these words, Huo Guang's first reaction was not to be shocked that others were planning to frame Zhang Tang.
But curiosity.
Why did Princess Pingyang say these things to him.
It doesn't make sense.
Prince Zhao and Princess Pingyang are royal relatives. Even if Princess Pingyang doesn't want to participate in such a frame-up, there is no need to tell him about it.
after all.
Ever since he came back from Zhao, Huo Guang had been labeled as a censor from the doctor camp.
Could it be...
Charisma?
Please!
Huo Guang is only thirteen years old, and Princess Pingyang is already forty, right?
What could it be that caused Princess Pingyang to say this to herself?
After thinking about it carefully.
It suddenly became clear.
The reason can only be that he lives in the General's Mansion!
Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and the current empress all came from her Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Strictly speaking, these people are the largest faction - relatives of the emperor and the country.
What about Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, Prime Minister Li Cai, etc.
Compare it to that.
On the contrary, they are all at the bottom of the stream.
Huo Guang himself is the younger brother of Huo Qubing, so he can naturally be regarded as a member of Princess Pingyang's faction.
so.
Only Princess Pingyang would tell herself.
After Huo Guang understood this in his mind, he said:
"Princess, why are you telling me this? I don't think that I am of the same school as Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, and I have no interest in the official battle between Zhang Tang and Prime Minister Li Cai."
"besides."
"You want to plead with His Majesty. The matter of letting Prince Zhao Liu Dan go has nothing to do with me."
"I only know that my brother is the champion hussar general, and I now live in the shogunate."
He said these words just to clear away all relations between himself and the censorship doctor group. .
but.
To be honest, Princess Pingyang doesn't care about this.
See this.
Princess Pingyang just smiled and said: "You are a smart person, that's all, let's not talk about this. When I hear you talk about the General's Mansion, I miss Wei Qing a little bit."
"I heard his wife is seriously ill."
"As the master, it's time for me to find time to visit."
Finished.
Princess Pingyang said goodbye, then turned and left with her guards, leaving only Huo Guang frowning slightly.
Don't know why.
After hearing Princess Pingyang's words about "being the master", it sounded particularly harsh to him. This is a general, and she actually said that?
no way.
Who knew that the former Wei Qing was indeed Princess Pingyang's "riding slave".
This cannot be refuted.
never mind!
How could I, a little scholar, care about Liu's affairs?
After handling the matters at the restaurant, he was ready to get on the carriage and leave. However, before he could step in, a man with a sinister look shouted: "Huo Yilang, please wait a moment. I am under the command of the imperial censor, Shi Lu, to pay homage to my younger brother, Lu Yu."
"Come here now."
"I came here especially to tell you a good thing."
The history...
He's not a high-ranking official, but his salary seems to be around four hundred.
It's two hundred less than Yilang himself.
What's more.
This man is still the younger brother of that so-called Fu Shi.
It has no more status.
Huo Guang just glanced at the other party and got into the carriage. He just held the handle of the carriage with his hand and asked calmly: "I know Zhang Gong, the censor doctor. I don't know who Shi Lu Yiju is, so you told me, and I also I don’t know who you are.”
After hearing this, Lu Yu then said with a flattering expression: "It doesn't matter, as long as Huo Yilang knows about Mr. Zhang, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the rest."
Huo Guang frowned slightly and said, "Then stop talking nonsense. What good thing did you just say?"
At this time, he thought it was Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, who wanted to bring him something.
Unexpectedly.
Lu Yu, the younger brother of Lu Shi Lu Ye Ju, said with a proud look on his face: "Didn't Li Wen offend Huo Yilang a few days ago?"
"Just right!"
"This man doesn't know how to live or die, and he has offended Mr. Zhang."
"My brother used a little trick to get rid of the scourge Li Wen."
"Huo Yilang, isn't this good news?"
solved? You mean killing!
Huo Guang frowned immediately. He didn't expect that a person who was alive and kicking a few days ago would be gone now.
really.
The struggle in official circles is still very cruel.
Therefore, Huo Guang could not wade through the flood. He called Bu San and ordered: "San'er, call the guards and drive this person away. Also, in the future, people like this must not be treated as guests. Put it in our restaurant."
Although Bu San was confused.
However, he still followed Huo Guang's order and called a few guards to come over and drive Lu Yu away.
When Lu Yu was driven away, he was still shouting: "Huo Yilang, what do you mean? My brother is Lu Yeju, and he is the most beloved official of the imperial censor. We are all imperial censors. People from this group of people, what are you going to do..."
But at this time.
Huo Guang has already boarded the carriage and is on his way back to the General's Mansion.
Fusan was also in the carriage.
He asked with some confusion: "Sir, why do you want to drive this person away? This person's attitude towards you is quite respectful!"
Pretty respectful?
No!
That's such a compliment.
If Huo Guang continued to talk to him and was seen by others, wouldn't it mean that he was in the censorship group?
After thinking about it.
Huo Guang then said: "That Lu Yu, I knew he was a fool after I saw him say in public that his brother had used a little trick to solve Li Wen's problem."
"How can you talk about this kind of thing in public?"
"San'er."
"You have to remember, never treat a fool as one of your own."
Although Fu San didn't understand, he still nodded and said, "I understand, Master."
A few days later.
Huo Guang was practicing martial arts with his brother Huo Qubing, and at the same time brought the two-stone iron bow he had won from King Zhao.
"Brother, I won this bow from King Zhao. What do you think?"
immediately.
Huo Guang handed the bow to Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing took the iron tire bow, weighed it in his hand, and said calmly: "The weight is acceptable, I'll see how the tension is."
Say it.
He tried his hand at the iron bow again, and said with a slight look of disgust, "The power of two stones is just right for you, but for me, it's a little too small."
The words fell.
Then he returned the two-stone iron bow to Huo Guang.
This.
It also shocked Huo Guang. Are the power of these two stones still small? You know, an adult warrior who can pull a two-stone bow is considered an excellent archer.
What's more.
It is also made entirely of iron.
But when I think about it, my brother is Huo Qubing. Is this something ordinary soldiers can compare to?
Huo Guang sighed at this time and said: "Brother, is there any way to improve my archery skills? I feel that my archery has reached a bottleneck, no matter how hard I practice, it will never be the same."
However.
Huo Qubing patted Huo Guang's shoulder and said, "My brother, there is no need to worry about this matter. It's like this when practicing martial arts. The further you go, the less diligent you feel."
"Actually, as long as you keep practicing every day and try your best, you'll be fine."
"If you are too ambitious, you will lose more than you gain!"
After hearing what his brother said, Huo Guang nodded, he understood the truth.
As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and you cannot reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. If you want to be strong in martial arts, you must persevere every day.
only.
At this time, Huo Guang thought of another way to practice and asked, "Brother, can I find another way?"
"Find another way? What do you mean!" Huo Qubing was confused.
Huo Guang explained: "For example, adjust the position of the arrow feathers and practice turning the bow? Or shoot eight arrows at once to hit more targets!"
Hearing Huo Guang's words, the elder brother Hou Huo Qubing, the champion, immediately shook his head and said: "Huo Guang, don't think about these things. Eight arrows are not as useful as one arrow. As for the turning arrows, it is simply impossible." Tan."
"Forehead..."
Huo Guang suddenly looked embarrassed.
actually!
What he said has been seen on short videos before. I remember that a certain foreign blogger tried to shoot arrows that could turn, and once several arrows were shot and all hit the target.
certainly.
This may only be possible after trying countless times, and it is not very practical.
"Oh well!"
"I still listen to what my brother says honestly!"
"......"
...
...
In the Weiyang Palace, the ministers were meeting, and the great farmer Yan Yi was reporting the matter to Han Emperor Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, I have sent people to bring the seeds of Baidiezi from the Western Regions. At the same time, I have invited old farmers who grow Baidiezi from them."
"only..."
"The old farmer who grows Bai Diazi said that the land here is not suitable for growing this crop."
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned slightly and said, "What is Bai Diazi?"
Obviously.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was busy with everything, had forgotten what Huo Guang said last time.
At this time, Yan Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Bai Diezi, these are the crops you mentioned last time when you asked Huo Yilang how to solve the problem of keeping our people warm in winter."
Only then did Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, remember such a thing.
then.
He then asked: "The Han Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, so why can't we grow things like Baidiezi?"
Yan Yi is relatively straightforward.
so.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked this question, Yan Yi replied directly: "I don't know the reason. I would also like to ask your majesty to invite Huo Yilang to ask him to see if there is anything he can do."
