Chapter 24 2. Legend of Huo Guang

Huo Guang, whose name is Zimeng, is Huo Qubing's half brother.In my opinion, behind every legendary son, there is often a legendary father.Back then, Mr. Huo's son, Huo Zhongru, served in the Pingyang Hou family as a county official.Unexpectedly, during his service, he met Wei Qing's sister Wei Shao'er.The two of them met their eyes, and their love was like lightning, and they immediately crackled, and then gave birth to Huo Qubing, an unrivaled military genius. Having one is not enough.Immediately afterwards, Huo Zhongru finished his service, returned to his hometown, remarried, and gave birth to another genius.This genius was later the genius statesman Huo Guang.

However, before Huo Qubing became an adult, he didn't know where his father came from and where he went.The reason is simple, since Huo Zhongru left Pingyang Hou's house, he has completely cut off communication with Wei Shaoer.It was as if the cell phone signal was suddenly out of service for some reason. After becoming an adult, Huo Qubing found out after inquiring that his father was Huo Zhongru from Hedong.In 121 BC, Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu and passed through Hedong.So, he went to Pingyang Hou's house as a guest on the way.There is only one purpose of being a guest, so that Pingyang Hou's family will call Huo Zhongru to meet him.

Soon, Huo Qubing met the legendary father.When the old man entered the door, he trotted all the way, trembling, and ran up to Huo Qubing.Seeing this, Huo Qubing felt mixed feelings, knelt on the ground with a plop, and shouted from the bottom of his heart: "Father, the child is late." That Huo Zhongru, with tears running down his face, kowtowed on the ground and said, "Thanks to God, I will finally have someone to rely on for the rest of my life." After Huo's father and son met each other, Huo Qubing bought fields and land for his father, and also bought many slaves to serve the old man.Then he went north to settle accounts with the Huns.Later, Huo Qubing returned to his teacher, passed through Hedong again, and visited his father again.At that time, Huo Guang was only ten years old.Therefore, Huo Qubing decided to bring Huo Guang back to Chang'an.

More than twenty years have passed in a flash.Huo Qubing had long since carried his precocious dream and returned to heaven with his sword in hand.However, over the years, Huo Guang has been like a young eagle under the sun. Under the sunshine, the eagle's fur has gradually become fuller; the eagle's eyes have become deeper and deeper; the eagle's wings have become more stable.However, this heroic and majestic eagle is as silent as a rock. For many years, Huo Guang's main job was to accompany Liu Che.Wherever Liu Che went, there was Huo Guang's shadow.Wherever there is Huo Guang's shadow, there is Liu Che.Huo Guang always served carefully and never made mistakes.

In addition to doing things calmly and steadily, Huo Guangren is also very handsome.He is seven feet three inches tall, with sparse eyebrows, fair skin, and a beautiful beard.Regardless of background, taste, or appearance, they all greatly satisfied Liu Che's aesthetics. At that time, there was a Lang official who followed and observed Huo Shuai for a long time, and found that this man's cultivation of inner strength had reached a terrifying level.Every time he enters and exits the palace, every time he walks and steps, he has a fixed position and size.It is no exaggeration to say that you can use his pace as the minute and second hand, no matter how many steps you take, the minutes and seconds are exactly the same.

As a human being, if you are too perfect, you are either a demon or a god.However, for Huo Guang, he cannot be called a monster, nor can he be called a god, but can only be called a god-man. Indeed a god.Throughout Liu Che's life, he didn't even take a look at how many capable people passed before his eyes like passing clouds.Only this Huo Guang seemed to be a big tree raised by him.This big tree does not attract wind or rain.Its trunk is straight, with luxuriant branches and leaves, but it is powerful but not fierce, tall but not swaying, and has its own style. So excited, Liu Che decided to give Huo Guang a painting.This is a famous painting.The painting depicts the Duke of Zhou meeting the princes with the Zhou Cheng Dynasty on his back.

Zhou Gong, one of the idols of Confucius, is also called Zhou Gongdan by the world.He is the son of King Wen of Zhou and the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou.Because his fiefdom was in Zhou (now north of Qishan, Shaanxi), he was known as Duke of Zhou in the world.What he is most worthy of the praise of later generations is that he made rituals and made music, served as regent for King Zhou Cheng, the son of King Wu of Zhou, for seven years, and finally returned to King Cheng.It is precisely because of Zhou Gong's thought of being selfless and dedicated to benefiting others that the Zhou Dynasty created the first prosperous age in Chinese history-the rule of Chengkang.

Any fool can see that Liu Che's intention is to let Huo Guang learn from Zhou Gong and assist Liu Fuling.When Liu Fuling becomes an adult, he will return to the Liu family. This is simply a gamble!But Liu Che had no choice.He had to put all his eggs in one basket and bet big for Liu Fuling before he died. 87 BC, Spring.In February, Liu Che became seriously ill. At that time, Huo Guang was guarding Liu Che's side.He knew that Liu Che's time was running out.However, Liu Che seemed to have forgotten that he still had one important thing to do.That is, the prince has not yet been established.

If the crown prince doesn't stand, if Liu Che suddenly goes off on two feet, won't the Han Dynasty be in big trouble? So, Huo Guang looked at Liu Che who seemed to be dying, and asked with tears, "Your Majesty, you have to tell me that if you become a fairy, who will take over from you." Huo Guang called this trick, pretending to be stupid.However, he has to play dumb. Liu Che looked at Huo Guang with infinite anticipation, and said slowly: "Duke Zhou's image of seeing the princes as a dynasty, you really didn't see it?" Huo Guang shook his head. Liu Che: Establish the youngest son, and the king will do the work of the Duke of Zhou!

The real answer is finally revealed. At this time, Huo Guang's face was filled with sad tears.Suddenly, Huo Guang pointed to a person next to him and told Liu Che that he was not yet qualified to do the work of Duke Zhou.The one who is really qualified should be the person he is referring to. The person Huo Guang was referring to was a Hun.This person's name is Jin Ridun.Jin Ridun's surname was not originally Jin, but the surname Jin was given by Liu Che.The reason why Liu Che gave him the surname Jin was because Huo Qubing chased and beat Jin Ridun's father, King Xiutu, and captured King Xiutu's sacrifice to the sky.Therefore, Jin Ridun was given the surname Jin.

Have you ever remembered that when Huo Qubing took care of King Huanxie and Queen Xiutu, the two kings made an appointment to surrender to the Han Dynasty together.Unexpectedly, King Xiutu repented on the way.At that time, Huo Qubing was responsible for the reception work, seeing that the Xiongnu's surrendered army was about to become a rebel army.So he took the lead and rushed into the Huns camp.And the Hunxie King, who was ready to surrender wholeheartedly, also did not stop doing two things, beheading Xiutu King.This time, the mood of the descending army finally stabilized, and they voted for the Han Dynasty as planned. Originally, King Xiutu wanted to surrender to the Han Dynasty and would enjoy high-level treatment.Unexpectedly, he killed himself and dragged his wife and children down.At that time, Jin Ridun, his brother, and even his mother, who was the prince at that time, were confiscated into the government and sent to Huangmen to raise horses.That year, Jin Rijun was only fourteen years old. Raise horses, raise horses.As a descendant of a horse-backed aristocrat, does Kim Il-dun have a brighter future besides raising good horses and raising more horses?He doesn't know, and no one can know.Perhaps, in the eyes of Chang'an people, the life trajectory of that poor young man can basically be finalized.That is, in a few years, he will marry a wife, have a bunch of children, and then raise them with mare's milk. They will continue to do the work of raising horses like him, and their children and grandchildren will be endless. I have always insisted that fate is a strange thing.It seems to be full of inevitable fate, but also has an accidental legend.The inevitable fate points to the distant destination for human beings; the legendary chance is like those carp jumping the dragon gate in the Yellow River, full of enthusiastic applause. However, Jin Ridun never thought that he was a carp in the Yellow River, nor did he think that he could jump into the Dragon Gate.He believes that since he is a horse breeder, he should do his job of raising horses well.He fattened the horse, raised it strong, and sent it to the battlefield, and then he imagined how his horse galloped, neighed, and struggled in the shadow of swords and swords, until it fell down with the last drop of blood. Liu Che likes this kind of horse.Once, Liu Che took a group of court ladies to see the horse.At that time, there were dozens of people raising horses.Those horse breeders who had been with stallions for a long time saw Liu Che's court lady, and their eyes lit up.As a result, almost every horse breeder who walked past the emperor with a horse sneaked an extra glance at the beautiful woman. Liu Che thinks this is normal.However, at that time Liu Che suddenly discovered that there was a young horse breeder who seemed very abnormal.He is more than eight feet tall, with firm eyes, calm and peaceful.The horse he was leading was fat and strong.What made him unique was that when he walked past Liu Che leading his horse, he didn't look sideways, he simply regarded the emperor and beauties as nothing. you, come here.Liu Che called the horse boy to his face. The horse boy turned his head, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in front of Liu Che.Then, Liu Che asked questions, and the other party answered.The person who answered the question had a dignified appearance and was meticulous; the person who asked the question had a strange heart, and found that the horse breeder in front of him was indeed a talent. In the end, Liu Che told the horse boy that you go back and change your clothes, and I will worship you as your horse supervisor.So, from then on, this horse boy was like a river changing its course halfway, like a kite being pulled by the wind of fate to another magical sky. This horse breeder is Jin Ridun who is planning to have a litter of children so that his children and grandchildren will prepare to raise horses for a living. After that, Jin Rixun was worshiped as Doctor Guanglu, the consort of the servant, and like Huo Guang, his daily job was to accompany the emperor to go out in the car and return to the palace to serve.The work here can be described in one word: the future is boundless.
