my brother champion

Chapter 185 The Sixth Marquis of the Wei Family!Huo Guang was granted the Marquis of Bolu

On the way back to the imperial court, Huo Guang rode his horse, thinking about Li Guang's death in his heart.

be honest.

As a latecomer, Huo Guang naturally knew that because of his pride, Li Guanghui would not be able to bear the insult of the knife and pen officials at this time, so he committed suicide.

Even many officials in the Han Dynasty killed themselves, unwilling to be insulted by officials with swords and pens.

This point explains.

The knife and pen official did not have a good reputation in the Han Dynasty.

This is why Zhang Tang, as a doctor of imperial history, is one of the three princes of the imperial court, and why there are few officials in his faction.

Because Zhang Tang was born as a knife and pen official.

As for Li Guang's death.

Huo Guang thought for a while, if he made a move, there might be a chance to save the other party.

But for myself.

The two families are not at odds, there is no need to save people.

If people are on good terms with me, it is understandable to save others; if people don't respect me, why bother to save others?
At this moment.

It is the best choice to give up the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others.

but.

After Li Guang died, Huo Guang had to pay attention to one thing.

Because of Li Guang's death.

His youngest son, Li Gan, will blame the General for all his crimes.According to what happened in the original history, this Li Gan will make a big disturbance in the general's shogunate and stab the general.

This injury is fatal!
The general has a kind heart, so naturally he will not pursue it.

But Huo Guang's elder brother, Champion Hou, has a bad temper!

Li Gan was under General Hussars.

His own men stabbed the general.On the one hand, it gave people a feeling that the hussar general was helpless, and on the other hand, it hurt his family.

With Champion Hou's temper, he will definitely kill Li Gan!
The enmity between the Li family and the enmity between the Wei and Huo families was completely forged.

Now Wei and Huo Xianhe are naturally not afraid.But it's hard to say whether the death of my brother in the future is related to the sudden death of my nephew ten years later?

Huo Guang had to consider these.

While Huo Guang was thinking about these issues, Lin Yaoqing, who was walking with him, said, "What's wrong with Colonel Huo today? Why is he in a trance? Is there something wrong?"

In this regard.

Huo Guang just shook his head slightly, and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired from the long-distance raids and battles this month!"

March and fight!

Tired, for sure.

Seeing that he was about to return to Chang'an soon, Huo Guang had no choice but to raise his spirits.

Because General Wei Qing had already sent a letter of military information to Chang'an, the news that Huo Guang had captured Hun Shan Yu Yizhixie had already been sent back to Chang'an.

Therefore.

On the side of Chang'an City Gate, people had already lined the road to welcome the Han army's triumphant return.

of course.

As Chang'an City is the imperial capital, it is naturally impossible for the entire army to come in.Most of the army cavalry in the South Camp returned to the South Camp to garrison, and those in the North Camp returned to the North Camp.

Wait some days.

The number of cavalry in the two battalions will be greatly reduced. Some soldiers are here to offset the corvee. The Mobei War is over, and they will go home.

There are some people outside the city gate.

Wait until you enter the city.

Huo Guang rode on the horse, scanning the surrounding people.He found that on both sides of the streets of Chang'an City, the people who watched their triumphant return were all dignitaries in Chang'an City!

to be frank.

Even if Huo Guang's elder brother is the champion!
Even if Huo Guang lives in the General's Mansion!
But with his father Huo Zhongru's humble status as an official in Hedong County?

These dignitaries in Chang'an City are still unattainable targets for him.

Although Huo Guang looked down on these fun-loving dignitaries from the bottom of his heart, these people also looked down on Huo Guang.

Very simple.

The champion Hou is the champion Hou, and the champion Hou brother is always the champion Hou brother.

There is one more word.

The difference is earth-shattering.

But Huo Guang at this moment is different.

The news that he captured the Xiongnu Shanyu Yizhixie has spread throughout Chang'an City.

Everyone knows that from now on, Huo Guang's identity will no longer be prominent because of Wei Huo, but only because of the word Huo Guang!
After scanning the eyes.

From the eyes of these dignitaries looking at him, he saw the eyes of different emotions such as envy, jealousy, fawning, anticipation and so on.

among these people.

Some he knew, and some he didn't.

After watching too much.

Huo Guang didn't bother to care about other people's eyes anymore, and continued to ride along with General Wei Qing and others.

All the generals rode their horses and came to the gate of the palace together. They dismounted one after another and prepared to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.

Like the general, Huo Guang dismounted and entered the palace.

At this moment.

But the eunuch stopped them, and took out an edict made of silk, and read: "Order, I heard that the general defeated the main force of the Xiongnu Shanyu in Mobei, and that Huo Guang captured the Xiongnu Shanyu Yizhixie alive. !"

"Hereby, General Wei Qing and Colonel Huo Guang are allowed to ride horses and swords in the palace to demonstrate the wind!"

"Kin this!"

The words fall.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Riding a horse and saber in the palace, no one should be worthy of this kind of treatment except the emperor of the Han Dynasty, right?
General Wei Qing, who had won this honor, felt a little uncomfortable.

even if.

This is not the first time he has received this honor.

But it was the first time for Huo Guang on the side.

For this matter.

Huo Guang didn't think there was anything wrong, so he reminded Wei Qing: "General, thank you?"

The general glanced at Huo Guang, and then he had no choice but to kowtow to the ground and said: "Wei Qing thanks Your Majesty Long En."

See uncle like this.

Huo Guang immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Huo Guang thanks His Majesty Long En."

then.

The two who had already dismounted got on their horses again after receiving His Majesty's edict.

of course.

The rules in the palace were very strict. Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed them to enter the palace on horseback and with swords, they could not drive with them. Instead, the eunuch led the reins and walked in.

Riding a horse instead of walking was originally a very free and unrestrained thing.

But at this moment, the eunuch is leading the reins, and the walking speed is still extremely slow.

This made Huo Guang, who was sitting on the horse, very uncomfortable.After a long time, I still feel a little like sitting on a needle cushion.

It's better to dismount and walk into the palace by yourself.

No wonder when the eunuch read out the edict just now, General Wei Qing was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the eunuch who was leading the generals into the palace by the reins, Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "This valet, I think you look familiar! Did you lead the way for the first time this captain entered the palace?" ?”

The eunuch nodded repeatedly and said: "Lieutenant Huo has a good memory, the young one brought you into the palace at the beginning, I didn't expect you to remember the young one!"

remember!

Of course Huo Guang remembered.

When this guy brought himself into Weiyang Palace for the first time, the haughty look was so memorable.

But Huo Guang was too lazy to argue with this guy.

The so-called general has a sword but does not cut flies, and if he wants to become a big tree, don't fight with grass.

After thinking about it.

Huo Guang then said to the eunuch who was holding the rein of the horse: "Since you are the one who lured me into the palace for the first time, how about this? You come and sit on the horse, and I will lead the horse. Anyway, I know the road in the palace. .”

heard.

The eunuch holding the rein suddenly said in panic: "Hey, Captain Huo doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

"You little ones dare to ride horses and sabers in the palace."

"This good fortune can only be matched by Colonel Huo and the Great General!"

The eunuch's words are true.

Apart from the emperors of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing was the first to have the honor of riding a horse and carrying a sword in the palace, and Huo Guang was the second.

see.

Huo Guang could only shake his head with a smile, and stopped teasing the other party.

After entering the gate of the palace, Huo Guang and General Wei Qing were able to dismount and enter the palace to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.

Accompanying them came in, as well as many generals from the South Camp.

now.

Sitting on a high position, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked at the generals kneeling on the ground and said quietly: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the generals stood up at the same time.

At this time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che asked: "General, you have wiped out a lot of Shanyu's main force in this battle. I originally wanted to reward you. But why did your department lose so much?"

The Battle of Mobei was won, and the Wei Qing Legion won the Shan Yu's main cavalry.

But its loss is not small.

Although Huo Guang offered a strategy, he came up with new weapons such as flying thunder cannons.But it was only a reduction in the number of casualties in the original history.

The Huns were born to be good riders.

Han cavalry.

It's just a temporary training in the later period, and the inherent gap in talent is still huge.

Hearing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's accountability, Wei Qing quickly said: "The subordinates have suffered a great loss, and I cannot absolve myself of the responsibility."

"But the minister is very curious."

"The Huns seem to know our army's movements. The march of the two armies has already been known by the Xiongnu Shanyu Yizhixie. The other party is deliberately ambushing our army there!"

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che waved his hand and said angrily, "That's enough, you Wei Qing is a great general, so stop making these excuses."

"The route of the two armies was planned by me!"

"What, are you blaming me for my improper command? Or are you showing off? If it weren't for your good command, Wei Qing, I might have lost this battle?"

Wei Qing quickly shook his head and said: "I dare not have such an idea. The heavy loss in this battle is the fault of my minister. I would like to be punished by Your Majesty!"

heard.

Only then did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stop whipping Wei Qing, and at the same time he did not forget to say: "That's all, in this battle, although the Southern Camp suffered heavy losses, it also wiped out Shan Yu's main force. Pinghou's fiefdom."

heard.

Wei Qing kowtowed on the ground as before and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

After the salute.

Holding up a long sword in both hands, Wei Qing said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che: "Your Majesty, under the order of my minister, the old general Li Guang lost his way in a detour, delayed the battle opportunity, and did not want to be insulted by the swordsman. , and killed himself in Monan."

"This is the old general's sword."

"I have the courage to bring it into the palace, and report to His Majesty on behalf of the old general."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about the fact that General Li Guang committed suicide in Monan as early as in the letter written by General Wei Qing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no feelings for Li Guang.

but.

After all, the opponent is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he is also loyal to the big man.

If it hadn't been for the wrong team.

It can't be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would really reuse him!

Seeing that Wei Qing was holding the sword at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han had no choice but to wave to the eunuch, and then the eunuch handed the sword to him.

At this time.

I saw Emperor Wu of the Han holding his long sword tightly, and said with great compassion: "The world is so vast that it cannot accommodate my General Li!"

"Preach the edict!
"Transfer Li Guang's eldest grandson, Li Ling, to Yulin."

"The Li family of the old general cannot be succeeded by no one."

The general then shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

The generals also shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

After this incident.

Only then did Emperor Wu of the Han turn his gaze to Huo Guang, who was at the side, and asked, "Little Huo Guang, I just wanted you to go to the army to practice. Unexpectedly, you surprised me one after another."

"First the cavalry three-piece suit, then the gunpowder, the thunder cannon, etc., and finally I brought the Huns back to me."

"As expected of the champion brother Hou, his bravery is commendable!"

"Oh no!"

"You are younger than my hussars general when he first went out to fight, you should be even worse!"

Hearing Han Wudi Liu Che's praise, Huo Guang immediately got goosebumps on his elbows, so he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, besides you and my father, elder brother is the person I respect the most, and I dare not say that he is better than elder brother. "

"Oh?" Seeing Huo Guang like this, Emperor Wu of Han immediately smiled and said, "This is not like your character, little Huo Guang!"

Huo Guang immediately replied: "I used to be young and ignorant, and I offended many people in Chang'an, and there were many language offenses. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wu of the Han immediately waved his hand and said: "I have already punished you to go to prison in the past, so naturally the past is not to blame."

"Now you have captured the Great Shanyu of the Xiongnu. This kind of credit is huge!"

"Not only will I not blame you, but I will also reward you!"

"Tell me, little Huo Guang, what reward do you want?"

Hearing the question from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, how dare I ask you for a reward!"

"Your Majesty rewards the minister, and the minister will naturally take it."

"If your majesty doesn't give it to me, I dare not take it!"

What do rulers want most?That is, no matter how talented the subordinates are, they must listen to him.

If not.

How could Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, take pains to depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone?
then.

When Huo Guang said this, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, burst out laughing from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Hahaha, Huo Guang, what you said is very good."

"At a young age, I have such an opinion."

"Everyone, you can study hard with Captain Huo."

heard.

All the generals lowered their heads all at once. At this moment, they are still waiting to be rewarded by His Majesty!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che thought for a while, and then asked Huo Guang: "Huo Guang, how old are you this year?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am fourteen years old this year. In terms of age, I should be fifteen or sixteen." Huo Guang replied.

Hear this.

Emperor Wu of the Han nodded, and said: "You are a little younger, it doesn't matter, I just like you young people."

"correct."

"Huo Guang, before you joined the army, did you have any position beside me?"

Huo Guang heard the words, and immediately replied obediently: "Return to Your Majesty, I was your Yilang before the minister!"

heard.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded, as if he remembered Huo Guang's identity.

After thinking about it for a while.

Only then did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che say: "I originally wanted to reward you as Doctor Guanglu, but you are too young to be suitable."

"so."

"I will set up a new officer, Fengche Duwei, and you will be in charge, how about it?"

For the new official position, for those officials in the court, they don't know what this official does.

And Huo Guang knew.

This newly established official position will be his foothold in the court.

and so.

Huo Guang immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

However, before the kowtow ceremony was finished, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stopped him and said, "Hey, I haven't finished rewarding you yet, why are you so anxious to kowtow."

"listen."

"This time you captured the Xiongnu Great Shanyu, and you have done a lot of credit!"

"I!"

"I still want to confer you the Marquis of Lie, in the meaning of being broad and peaceful, so I will confer the title of Marquis of Bolu on you!"
