Promise is the least valuable thing but the most deceptive thing.
This has been true throughout the ages.
Even if Sima Yi lived to such an advanced age, he would still seize the Cao family's empire. Another example is when Liu Bei borrowed money from Jingzhou but never returned it.
As for modern?
I just can't get in...
"Ahem!" Huo Guang coughed lightly, looking at Yang Yin who was full of excitement, he smiled lightly and said: "Yang Hou, it's still early for this matter, so don't say more, let others listen, it's not good !」
When Yang Yin heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, yes!"
"In this case, I will not disturb Huo Yilang's work."
"Farewell!"
Huo Guang cupped his hands towards Yang Yin and said nothing more.
Huo Guang didn't listen to a word of what Yang Yin said just now, about how future generations of descendants should respect him if they become the Three Dukes.
Let’s not talk about Yang Yin’s current age and whether he can live to that time.
As for his promise.
Will the descendants of his Yang family abide by it?
I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Modern people like to praise the ancients for their noble character and integrity, who put etiquette first. But in an era where we were living like hair and drinking blood, how could there be so much etiquette to talk about?
When modern civilization is so developed.
Ka waist things are not uncommon.
the ancients...
If the promise was truly kept, Liu Bang would not have taken over the world, the Sima family would have replaced the Cao family, and Sun Wu would have written the book "Sun Bing".
Wait until Yang Yin leaves.
Huo Guang arranged for a while to build the foundation for the house to be built at the old site of Chang'anle. After finishing these tasks, he returned to the restaurant and changed into formal clothes, preparing to enter the palace to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.
Since the last quarrel with Dongfang Shuo, after entering the palace to see His Majesty.
As a councilor, he has obtained His Majesty's promise.
If something happens, you can take the initiative to enter the palace and ask to see His Majesty.
This kind of right is no different from that of Sang Hongyang, who was previously a servant. But now, although Sang Hongyang has been promoted to Da Nong Ling and his status is high, there are many restrictions. I'm afraid it won't be as easy as before to see the emperor.
People!
Life is a life of choices between gains and losses.
But often.
Loss is irreversible, and gain is not what you want.
At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the palace in the north corner of Chang'an City, enjoying the banquet arranged by Princess Guantao and her male favorite Dong Yan.
Because this palace is located in the north corner of Chang'an, it is called Beigong.
now.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was flattered by his aunt Princess Guantao and his male favorite Dong Yan, so he drank a few more glasses of wine and felt a little elated.
under.
The dancers and singers in the palace danced beautifully, which was very eye-catching.
But in this case.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, suddenly felt dizzy. In a daze, he seemed to see a little old man less than a foot tall next to the palace pillars, with an expression of anger and fear on his face, accusing him of something.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his head curiously and listened carefully.
I heard the little old man say extremely angrily: "The old man risked his life to accuse His Majesty in order to explain his grievances!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was confused and felt very strange, so he asked: "What is the old man's name? Where does he live? But what is the difficulty? Why do you want to sue me?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked four questions in a row.
I don’t know if the old man was confused, but the little old man who was only one foot tall did not dare to face His Majesty’s majesty. He could not tell his grievances. He just saluted His Majesty, first looked up at the roof, and then Then he pointed at Emperor Wu of Han's feet.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was puzzled by the little old man's behavior.
Just about to ask again.
But suddenly I heard the voice of Princess Guantao in my ear, asking: "What's going on, Your Majesty? Why are you suddenly gibbering? Is this rice cake not doing well?"
millet
.
A kind of food made in the Han Dynasty that was mixed with coarse grains in meat soup. It tasted very delicious.
It can be regarded as one of the more delicious delicacies in this era.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his head and glanced at the concerned expressions of Princess Guantao and Dong Yan. He snorted lightly and said, "There is an old man here who is accusing me. I was asking him just now!"
"elder?"
Princess Guantao and Dong Yan looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
here.
Where did the old man come from?
then.
As the imperial aunt, Princess Guantao asked, "Your Majesty, please stop scaring us. Where did this old man come from?"
Seeing that his aunt didn't believe it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pointed to a pillar and said, "No, it's right there, less than a foot away..."
Said.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned to look at the little old man at the same time.
But the words stopped abruptly.
The place where the little old man who was more than a foot tall used to be was now empty, with no trace of anyone's presence.
"Hey, the old man who just accused me is obviously here?" Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was immediately puzzled.
this moment.
Princess Guantao and her male favorite were equally puzzled.
even.
None of them understood what His Majesty said.
then.
Princess Guantao then stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
However.
At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also troubled by this matter, so he said, "You didn't see the scene just now, so you can't understand what I said."
Although not directly angry.
But his tone showed that the Han Emperor Liu Che was already a little sulky.
then.
Princess Guantao and her male favorite Dong Yan did not dare to talk any more.
later.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, sat there and thought quietly for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason, so he said to himself: "It seems that this weird phenomenon can only be explained by strange people."
"Here comes someone."
"I order Dongfang Shuo to come to Beigong immediately!"
The words fell.
The eunuch serving Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hurriedly summoned Dongfang Shuo on his behalf.
It's just that it's a coincidence.
Dongfang Shuo happened to meet Huo Guang on his way here. Knowing that they were going to the Beigong together, they went together and came to the Beigong to meet His Majesty.
soon.
The eunuch who went out to summon Dongfang Shuo came back and asked, "Your Majesty, the common man Dongfang Shuo has arrived."
Emperor Wu of Han snorted and said, "Let him come in."
But at this time the eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Huo Guang, Yilang, has also come with us and is waiting outside the palace gate!"
Huo Guang?
As soon as I heard these two words.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately had an expression on his face as Huo Zhongru said that day about the shortcomings of his salt and iron official camp.
On the day of Huo Qubing's wedding, Huo Zhongru, the father, might have drank some wine or was overjoyed, but he actually discussed the problems of Yantie's official camp in front of him, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
certainly.
At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately concealed his identity, and Huo Zhongru did not know that he was his majesty.
But even so.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still felt unhappy after hearing what he said.
If it weren't for the fact that General Huo Qubing was getting married, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have really wanted to punish this petty official in Pingyang County.
After hesitating for a moment.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, nodded and said, "I said last time that if anything happens, you can come to me directly. Go and tell him and let him come in!"
The eunuch responded: "No!"
On the side, Princess Guantao frowned slightly when she saw that the two people who had sued her male favorite Dong Yan came together.
Two people last time
Complain.
Although His Majesty ignored him, Dong Yan was also ignored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, intentionally or unintentionally.
today.
Princess Guantao specially held a banquet in the palace, hoping to continue to make Dong Yan popular.
But unexpectedly, these two people seemed to be haunted.
Are you coming too?
Immediately, Princess Guantao said softly to Dong Yan: "Yan'er, go and hide first. Don't let this crazy man and villain watch you."
"Yes, princess."
Dong Yan didn't want to face the two of them, so he listened to Princess Guantao and hid aside.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo and Huo Guang had already walked in together under the guidance of the eunuch.
"Commoner Dongfang Shuo."
"Yi Lang Huo Guang!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
The two saluted together and almost in unison paid homage to Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty snorted lightly, and then said to Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, what do you want to say when you come to see me? I'll put it aside for a moment. I have something to ask Dongfang Shuo."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Huo Guang handed over his hand, then stepped aside and waited quietly.
And this time.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Dongfang Shuo, a commoner, and asked calmly: "Dongfang, you have been a commoner for so long, have you ever thought about returning to me as an official?"
However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty extended an olive branch upon meeting him!
Dongfang Shuo replied with neither humility nor arrogance: "Your Majesty, I have no such idea! However, if Your Majesty allows me to continue to be a Langguan, I will not refuse."
Say it.
Huo Guang didn't know what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thinking. The only thing he knew clearly was that Dongfang Shuo was a complete scumbag.
What does that mean?
Translated into modern terms, doesn’t it mean not taking the initiative or refusing?
If you add another irresponsible person!
Oops...
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting in the upper position, did not pay attention to Dongfang Shuo's words. He just asked lightly: "Dongfang, when I was drinking just now, I seemed to see an old man less than one foot tall, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face."
"He just stood there, complaining about some grievance."
"But when I changed my mind, I couldn't see the old man again."
"Do you know what's going on?"
Less than a foot? An old man with a frown on his face and a gray face?
Does this mean dwarf?
Appear and disappear suddenly? Is it possible that there was still a figure like Tu Xingsun in the Han Dynasty?
Think of this.
Huo Guang couldn't help but shake his head and sneered in his heart.
The ancients were ignorant. Why should you ask others about this kind of thing? It must be a mental picture that appeared in your mind when you were dozing off.
simply put.
Just daydreaming.
To this.
Huo Guang did not choose to interrupt. After all, His Majesty was asking Dongfang Shuo, not Huo Guang, his advisor.
then.
After listening to what His Majesty said, Dongfang Shuo walked around on the ground thoughtfully for two times before slowly speaking: "Common Dongfang Shuo, after listening to what Your Majesty said, I have already guessed what Your Majesty saw. "
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard Dongfang Shuo say that he had guessed it, he immediately asked happily: "Dongfang Shuo, don't tell me, tell me, what is that?"
then,
Dongfang Shuo then said: "Your Majesty, my name is Zao Jian, a spirit that grows in water and trees. In the summer, they live in the forest; in the winter, they live under the river. "
Algae?
Ghost?
Good guy, can you talk a little more?
Huo Guang was completely speechless at this time. Even if he was talking nonsense, he couldn't talk like this!
But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, did not doubt Dongfang Shuo's words. He just curiously
Asked: "I have never interacted with these algae and monsters before. Why do they come to accuse me?"
When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he immediately said: "Zao Jian is a spirit that lives in the water, wood, and mountains. Today, I came to complain to Your Majesty. It must be that someone is building a palace and destroying the place that belongs to them."
As soon as these words came out.
Huo Guang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt cold.
If it weren't for His Majesty's presence, Huo Guang would have grabbed this tall man's clothes and asked him why he spoke like this?
What a monster!
It's obvious that you want to frame someone...
As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, after hearing what Dongfang Shuo said, he immediately frowned and said to himself: "In the past two years, I have been thinking about how to improve the country's finances and food harvest, and there is no such thing as building a palace!"
"strangeness."
"Why is this Zaojian complaining to me about his grievances?"
His Majesty muttered to himself above.
Huo Guang was trembling underneath.
Mudd!
Dongfang Shuo didn't say anything bad, but he talked about large-scale construction projects and building palaces.
Wouldn't this draw fire to him, Huo Guang?
Ancient emperors, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, believed in the explanation of this strange phenomenon.
have no choice.
Now Huo Guang, in addition to scolding Dongfang Shuo in his heart, could only keep praying in his heart like a bell: "Don't mention me, don't mention me, you can't think of me, you can't think of me..."
I wonder if I am praying too faithfully in my heart.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, really didn't think about it anymore.
I saw him sitting in the upper position, shaking his head and saying: "Forget it, I can't figure it out. This theory of ghosts is too bizarre, and I can't figure it out."
"Put this aside for now."
"Huo Guang, tell me why you came here to see me?"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che asked questions, Huo Guang naturally did not dare to mention the house again.
But His Majesty asked, what should I say?
Then I thought about it.
Huo Guang sold his father out without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, my brother's wedding has passed, and my parents have been staying in Chang'an City for a long time. Since they really miss their hometown, they plan to go back tomorrow."
"but."
"My father has been talking to me, asking me to apologize to His Majesty, saying that I didn't know His Majesty's identity that day and offended His Majesty, which is considered disrespectful."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Hearing what Huo Guang said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also smiled lightly and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. I have already said it before, so there is no need to mention this matter again."
"As for your father Huo Zhongru?"
"You can tell him on my behalf that I will definitely investigate thoroughly the affairs of the Yantie Government Camp."
Huo Guang immediately saluted and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty. You are truly a wise king."
While His Majesty didn't think about the monster, Huo Guang thought about how many more times he could pat the dragon's fart. It was too late, but he couldn't do it.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was sitting in the upper position, also showed a wanton smile after hearing Huo Guang's words.
Obviously.
The dragon fart photographed by Huo Guang was very useful to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But at this moment.
However, Princess Guantao suddenly said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, what Dongfang Shuo said about "zaojie" just now is related to the large-scale construction and construction of palaces. This, I think of a relevant person. "
The words fell.
Princess Guantao's eyes turned to Huo Guang.
