Chapter 439: It's a blessing, not a Huo


According to the ritual system, all the funerals of the princes, different surnames are outside, the same surname is in the temple, the same family is in the ancestral temple, and the same clan is crying in your temple.Although the general is not a prince, he is better than the princes, although there is no difference between the temples, but the Huo Mansion is indeed big enough, and the walls and doors are another way to isolate the mourners of different levels.Huo Guang's death has spread all over Chang'an, but there is no imaginary sensation, Chang'an people don't love Huo Guang at all, and they don't have the intention to usurp Huo Guang, and they don't care about their love.But after the emperor gave an order, almost the entire Chang'an City, large and small officials, rushed to Huofu to mourn, and the door below 600 stones could not enter, so they could only mourn from afar inside and outside Shangguan.Below 2,000 stones, you can enter the Huo Mansion, but you can only stand in the courtyard and guard the fire.The two thousand stones in the two mansions and nine princes were able to enter the inner courtyard and see the general's coffin from a distance.But only the closest relatives surnamed Huo can enter the hall and family temple where the general's coffin is placed.Only the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager, who came to the funeral in person, had a special status, and they were also led in to see the general's remains.The Empress Dowager Shangguan Tang wore a small mourning dress, made of slightly coarse cooked cloth, which was the funeral gift of her grandson for her grandparents, black matched her, with her fair skin, it looked like I was pitiful.When Shangguan Tang lowered his head and cried, he saw that the Son of Heaven and the Empress who were around him were extremely sad, Huo Chengjun didn't need to say it, but it was unknown how sincere the emperor was.As for her?

As Huo Guang's own granddaughter, Shangguan Tang is not too sad, the general has always been a strict grandfather, and most of the conversations with her are about official affairs, with indifference in her bones, and the relationship between the two is very weak.Shangguan Tang's tears came down again, her acting skills are much stronger than in the past, but she can't let the Huo family know that her grief is far less intense than when Shangguan was destroyed by Huo Guang thirteen years ago, so intense that that experience has become a scar in her life, which will always remain in her heart, and it will hurt sharply just thinking about it.She hated Huo Guang a little, but she hated Shangguan An even more who didn't treat herself as flesh and blood, her father Shangguan An, when asked by the henchmen what she would do if she deposed the Son of Heaven and established King Yan, she actually said: "The dog chasing the moose, can you still take care of the little rabbit?"

”Since the Shangguan clan was destroyed and Xiaozhao also passed away, in the past six years, Huo Guang has become Shangguan's reliance.Whether it is the abolition of the emperor or the establishment of the emperor, the generals have achieved their goals through the edicts of the empress dowager, and Shangguan Tang's task is to endorse the Huo family.Even though the Empress Dowager is only twenty-one years old, younger than Liu Xun, her seniority is seniority."

Don't ask, ask is the Han Dynasty to rule the world with filial piety!"

But now, the mountain on which Shangguan Tang is leaning has collapsed!

The general is lying in the "Tooth Juniper Palace" given by the emperor, which was originally prepared by the palace garden order at any time, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the Son of Heaven is also like Xiaozhao suddenly hung up, you can't temporarily cut down trees to make coffins.And now, this honor is for the general to use, and the Huo family has also completed the procedures such as bathing and eating pearls.Thankfully, Shangguan Tang had to endure the sadness to do these things for Xiaozhao back then, but he didn't want to go through it again.What's more, for the general who has never touched her head to show pity since she was a child, Shangguan Tang is unwilling to touch her after her death, and the skin that is chilled and embalmed must be extremely cold, making her shiver just thinking about it.Fortunately, the general's face is no longer visible.Huo Guang has already put on a beaded glutinous jade box, which is the so-called "golden jade clothes", but only the emperor can use golden threads; Generally, princes, kings, and princes can use silver wisps; Imperial concubines, queens, and eldest princesses can use copper threads; Further down, you can only use silk threads, and you must not mess with the rules.But who made the Son of Heaven love the general, and he still gave it according to the emperor's specifications.All the jade is the best Khotanese jade, which is collected from the Western Regions Protectorate, which is the largest cargo imported from the Western Regions to the Central Plains.Since a few years ago, in order to chase the wealth of beautiful jade, tens of thousands of poor people in Sanfu and Sanhe listened to the legend of the "jade digger" who became rich overnight, and they all went to the West with their bags and responded to the number, and the number of Khotanese jade transported into Yumen Pass is increasing every year.But those jade diggers never returned to Chang'an.Only from time to time, rumors continue to circulate in the market that "everyone is rich and they are all the lords of the Western Regions".This set of jade clothes was originally made according to the shape of the upper body today, because the general was short, so he specially cut a section and rearranged it.Hundreds of female workers rushed day and night, and it was finally completed.It is composed of six parts: hood, upper body, sleeves, gloves, trousers and shoes, covering every inch of skin on the body.Thousands of small jade pieces were polished and drilled, and then braided with twelve hair-thin gold threads, seamed with red fabric and edged with iron bars around the trousers.It is really high-end and high-grade, in Shangguan Tang's opinion, only the face is a jade piece with carved eyes, nose, and mouth on the face of the defeated general, revealing a crescent-like smile, which looks a little funny.It also makes people more aware that the general who is not smiling and angry and the son of heaven is gone forever."

Once the mountain collapses, how can Chang'anjun entrust himself to Zhao?"

Shangguan Tang remembered this sentence, she hated Huo Guang for her whole family, but she was grateful to him, first, she let herself continue to be the queen, and now she has become the queen mother, and she has no worries in this life.The second is that the general didn't know for what purpose, he said, "The Empress Dowager is provincial, and it is advisable to know the scriptures", and he actually asked Wei Xian to be a long-letter Shaofu and teach himself the Spring and Autumn Period.And Shangguan Tang is in the palace in his spare time, has nothing to do, and reads not only poetry and books, but also from Shiqu Pavilion to the Taishi Gongshu that has been popular in Chang'an in recent years, so remember this story.The backer of the Huo family has fallen, but the wealth and power of the Huo family are still there, since Emperor Zhao, Huo Yu and Huo Yun are both generals, Huo Shan is the commander of the Che Du, and led Hu Yuebing, together with Huo Guang's sister Ren Xuan, to control the military power of the Northern Army.And now, the Son of Heaven promoted Huo Yu before the death of the general, worshiped him as "General Zuo", entered the Chinese Dynasty, and his status was only below Zhao Chongguo, still above Ren Hong and others, and now Huo Yu inherited the Marquis of Bolu.Huo Shan and Huo Yun also passed on to the champion marquis, all of whom were feudal marquis, and each received thousands of food estates.One door and three marquis, plus Huo Guang's two sons-in-law Fan Mingyou and Deng Guanghan are the guards of the East and West Palace, Ren Sheng masters Yulinwei, and the gold reward is Guanglu Xun Su Wei Weiyang, Kundi, all sons-in-law, and grandsons are all invited by the court, and they are all doctors of Zhu Cao.seems to be extremely prominent, but Shangguan Tang is very worried, all of the above people are respected but useless, generous but without labor, and there are many heavy weapons.The Son of Heaven respects the position of Chang'an Jun, and seals it with a place of anointing, and gives more heavy weapons, why?"

Just by virtue of the general's legacy, will I and Chengjun be the masters of the two palaces?"

She is a little rabbit, a dodder seed, not a towering tree, and she is not sure that she will fall when the wind blows, how can she let the Huo family rely on her?

As for Huo Chengjun, she probably doesn't know that she is a dove occupying a magpie's nest.Shangguan Tang glanced over, although the emperor still loves Huo Chengjun very much, holding her shoulder to comfort the sad queen, I heard that the queen is still pregnant, but just like her ruthless father Shangguan An said."

The family that relies on the queen to get the throne, once the Son of Heaven has a change of will, it is impossible even if he wants to be a commoner, and this will not change for a hundred years!"

Today's funeral of the general, these graces that make Mrs.

Huo extremely proud, are they blessings or curses?

At the end of the funeral, when she left Huo Mansion in a small carriage, although she was not very old, she had already experienced three palace upheavals, the Empress Dowager secretly sighed: "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, my grandmother and Huo Yu and others are unreliable, it's time for me to find a new one to rely on." ”Different from the delicate mind of the Empress Dowager, the rest of the Huo family, except for Huo Yu and other sons and daughters who were immersed in the grief of the general's death, the rest of the party members were already pointing out the rewards given by the Son of Heaven.Guanyang Hou Huoyun is one of them.Huo Yun stood outside the family temple and boasted to the people around him, Huo Yun was qualified to be proud, after all, he was not only the nephew of the great general Huo Guang, but also the step-grandson of the hussar general champion Hou Huo Quai!

The heroic ancestors and thrones that fell from the sky, this is really a wonderful thing, Huo Yun didn't feel unworthy at all, and said proudly: "The secret weapon of the East Garden, the pearl and jade sheng, Yu Yi gave it, all of them are prepared, and the yellow intestine Gangbai inscription given by the Son of Heaven is made up for the coffin."

In addition, the emperor also issued an edict to praise the general, to use the special car "chariot" after the death of the Son of Heaven to carry the general to Maoling on the day of the funeral.Add the honor guard of the Yellow House in Xu, and send the material officer to the fifth colonel of the Northern Army Chen Zhimao Mausoleum to send him to the funeral.Emperor Xiaowu was very sad about Huo Qu's death, and made an exception to dispatch the ironclad army of the five counties of Hexi, lined up in formation, and lined up along Chang'an to Huo Quai's tomb in the east of Maoling.This is a treatment that Wei Qing has not enjoyed."

Equivalent to the hussar general, this should be the posthumous honor that the general wants, it is really a very prosperous encounter since the Han Dynasty!

Huo Yun sighed so emotionally, but there were people next to him who didn't think so."

Otherwise, if it is full, it will be lost."

It was Huo Yun's uncle who spoke, Li Jing, a wealthy man in Wei County, this person is the capital of Wei County, and there is no shortage of money and silk, so all that is left is power.He pulled Huo Yun aside and said in a low voice: "Although I don't know much, I have heard a friend named Zhang Pardon say a lot of ancient things. ”Huo Yun was taken aback: "Nonsense!

Today's son is the son-in-law of the Huo family!

”"Emperor Xiao and Liu Zhang, Marquis of Zhu Xu, aren't they the sons-in-law of the Lu family?"

Li Jing continued to pout: "Even if the Son of Heaven has no ideas, he is afraid that other people will have ideas, in my opinion, the people around the county officials may want to be today's Zhou Bo and Chen Ping!"

”Huo Yun hesitated: "What do you mean" Li Jing said: "It is Xi'an Hou Renhong, who is quite trusted by the Son of Heaven and has a holiday with the Huo family!"

”Huo Yun, Huo Yu, and Huo Shan were indeed jealous of Ren Hong, firstly, because of the humiliation of refusing to marry old things, and secondly, because the general had snubbed the three of them before he died, but instead called Ren Hong to Lai Fushang and said for a long time, and he had the intention of treating him as an heir.But Ren Hong was quite rude, and after coming to the house and crying, he didn't kneel in the courtyard to guard the general's spirit, and left in a hurry.I heard that he was appointed by the Son of Heaven as the "Right Fufeng", and was assigned to Maoling to transfer the Sanhe Pawn to repair the tomb and ancestral hall of the great general.What made Huo Yun and the others angry was that when would it be Ren Hong's turn to supervise the construction of the general's tomb?

And after the general suppressed it for many years, in the end, it still made this son a middle two thousand stones!

In the long run, with the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Ren Hong, the power of the Huo family will definitely be divided.Huo Yun looked at Li Jing: "In your opinion, how should this son be treated?"

”Li was bolder than Huo Yun imagined, and actually proposed: "As I think, on the day of the general's funeral, the two thousand stones will be ruled on the mound, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the ministers of Wu will gather.It is better to take advantage of the funeral of the five soldiers of the Northern Army to obey the orders of Leping Hou Huoshan and others, and on the same day, they took the opportunity to attack with the tiger talisman, killed Ren Hong and others, and held the Son of Heaven hostage to order the ministers!

”"In this way, the three brothers of the Jun family can control the court, and the power is as powerful as when the general was in power."

And at this moment, the freshly baked "Right Fufeng" Xi'an Hou Renhong has ridden his beloved radish and galloped on the way to Maoling.In the Han Dynasty, the funeral place reward was also a special honor, and most of the objects were ministers, which were generally given to the county land, and the extremely favored ones were buried near the emperor's tomb.For example, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and other founding fathers were buried near the Changling Tomb of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty after their deaths, and continued to smell the stinky feet of Lao Liu.Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Jin Riyan and others were important ministers of filial piety, and they were also buried on the bank of Maoling after their deaths.The shape of the pyramid-like imperial mausoleum, such as Beichen, lives in it and the stars defend it, as if every emperor is leading the heroes of his time, guarding the plateau north of Chang'an, never resting.It stands to reason that the general has an era of exclusivity, but who made him still consider himself a filial and martial minister until he died?

Maybe he also wanted to be next to his brother Huo Quai, so his tomb was not selected in Xiaozhao's Pingling, but next to the Maoling Tomb, only the remaining gate has not yet been built.This is one of the reasons why Ren Hong was ordered to come here.Although Liu Yi had promised him the position of "General Wei", it was impossible to appoint him at this juncture.Not to mention the Northern Army, which has long been out of touch with this position, even if it is the Southern Army, which has been declining for a long time, Liu Xun is not impatient to get involved, so as not to cause the Huo family to be alarmed.If the Huo family jumps over the wall in a hurry and mobilizes Weiyang Langwei to rebel with the schools of the Northern Army, then the fun will be great, and when the time comes, the distant water will not quench the thirst of the near, and the Xiliang Army, which has been disbanded for many years, cannot be allowed to enter the king of Beijing Qin to ask for rape, right?

As a result, the three thousand soldiers from Hedong, Henan, and Hanoi who were named to be in charge of the finishing project of Huo Guang's Tomb became the first armed force that Liu Xun and Ren Hong could get in their hands near the Jingshi without arousing Huo's vigilance."

There are a lot of soldiers near Chang'an, so why don't you use the local three auxiliary soldiers to repair the grave?"

This is Liu Xun's question to Ren Hong's deputy who repairs the mound, a childhood friend of the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Pengzu, the third son of the Zhang family.Ren Hong smiled, pointed to the Sanhe pawn who was working in front of him near the tall Maoling, wielding farm tools and working enthusiastically: "Because when it comes to the matter of wearing soil and repairing mounds, Sanhe pawn is a professional!"
