Chapter 011
The first time Liu Ju saw Huo Guang was in the front hall of Jiaofang Hall.
That day, Huo Qubing had just returned from Hexi, and he brought his younger brother into the palace to greet the queen.
Hearing that his cousin was coming to the palace, Liu Ju finished the homework assigned by his master early and led Wei Wuyou to wait in Jiaofang Hall.
In the past, Liu Ju would have jumped on Huo Qubing when he saw him.But today, looking at the child who was cautiously following behind his elder brother, he stopped his eager steps, and by the way, he also grabbed Wei Wuyou who was eager to try beside him.
"Brother Prince, what's wrong with you?" Wei Wuyou blinked and asked puzzledly.Before Qubing's brother came back, the crown prince's brother talked about him every day. They looked at the map together in the proclamation room, guessing where Qubing's brother had gone, why he came back, and he was not in a hurry.
Liu Ju clenched Wei Wuyou's hand, pursed his lips slightly, but said nothing, his eyes were firmly locked on the child, and he never took a look away.
He had seen him, in that weird dream.At the end of the dream, he was desperate and entrusted him with the only thing Qu Bing's brother left him, including the little baby.
At this moment, Liu Ju still doesn't understand what kind of trust is hidden behind such a desperate move.But he knew that that kid was different from the others and he should catch him.
Before Liu Ju could speak, Wei Wuyou waved to the child, "Who are you? Come and play with us!"
The child turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Liu Ju and Wei Wuyou, a fleeting astonishment flashed in his eyes, too fast to be noticed.
He didn't come over immediately, but leaned close to Huo Qubing, said something in a low voice, and walked over quickly until Huo Qubing nodded.
"Who are you? Why did you come into the palace with Brother Qubing?" Wei Wuyou said first.
"My name is Huo Guang. I'm Hussar General's half-brother. I just came from my hometown." Although Huo Guang was answering Wei Wuyou's question, the focus of his eyes was always on Liu Ju.
Liu Ju hadn't spoken since Huo Guang entered Jiaofang Hall, but he didn't miss the surprise in Huo Guang's eyes.
What seems to be wrong?Liu Ju blinked in confusion.
Suddenly, a clear picture appeared in his mind, as clear as if it was his personal experience.
It was also in Jiaofang Palace, and it was Huo Guang who came to Chang'an for the first time with his elder brother.
The little prince happily ran into the hall, took the hand of Huo Guang who was so nervous that he could not speak, and said gently: "Are you brother Qubing's younger brother? I am too!" His eyes were clear and pure, very comforting The disturbed child across the way.
At that time, there were only their two children in Jiaofang Palace, without Wei Wuyou.
At that time, Huo Guang was excited and terrified, his eyes were cautious but not suspicious.
Thinking of this, Liu Ju's expression froze. Is the child standing in front of him really Huo Guang?The one to whom he entrusted all that he had in some future that hadn't yet happened.
"Brother Prince, what are you thinking?" Sensing Liu Ju's abnormality, Wei Wuyou tugged at his sleeve anxiously.
Liu Ju came back to his senses, he stretched out his hand, took Huo Guang's hand under Wei Wuyou's puzzled gaze, and said with a light smile, "So you are Brother Qubing's younger brother, and so am I." Then, he saw Huo Guang heaved a sigh of relief.
Wei Wuyou stood on tiptoe, put his hands on the backs of their hands, and said anxiously: "Me too, me too!"
Seeing Huo Guang looking at Wuyou with doubts, Liu Ju explained his doubts: "He is Wuyou, his surname is Wei, and he is my uncle's eldest son."
Liu Ju didn't know what Huo Qubing said to the emperor, anyway, after that day, Huo Guang stayed in his womb.
Compared with Wei Wuyou who accompanied him but didn't read, Huo Guang was a very competent companion. He followed what Liu Ju learned, and sometimes Liu Ju didn't like what his master taught, so he would accompany him to the Cangshu Pavilion. People study quietly in their spare time.
In front of people, Huo Guang's performance was quite satisfactory, he would neither steal the crown prince's limelight, nor make people feel that his existence was superfluous.
As a queen, Huo Guang never hides anything from Liu Ju, as long as it is a question raised by Liu Ju, he will give his own answer, never perfunctory.
Huo Guang knew from the beginning that Liu Ju, like him, had some unknown secrets hidden in him.But since Liu Ju didn't ask, he didn't have to take the initiative to bring it up, as long as they knew each other well.
After all, even if a ten-year-old country boy has a two-year age advantage, how can he have more knowledge than the crown prince of the big man.
Huo Guang will always remember the scene when the little prince enthusiastically taught him how to read.
It's just that such a time is not long. After the elder brother passed away, due to the estrangement between the crown prince and the emperor, the relationship between the two gradually faded.
At that time, the young Huo Guang didn't understand at all why the emperor, who clearly loved his eldest son, would do that.
The prince's masters were all selected by him himself, and all the ideas they instilled in him were approved by him, but what made the prince and the emperor drift away was precisely the "natural" thoughts of the prince. father".
Huo Guang began to feel that the emperor's actions were very unfair to the prince, because the prince never had the opportunity to choose what kind of person he wanted to be.His entire life was planned by the emperor for him, and he could only go down that road.
Many years later, when Huo Guang stood at the pinnacle of power in the entire empire, he finally understood the emperor's thoughts.
In Emperor Xiaowu's mind, no one or anything is more important than his great Han country.He knew better than anyone else what kind of heir the great Han country needed, so he trained his prince to be such a person.
It is a pity that fate and the emperor made a big joke, a disaster caused by witchcraft, everything is right and wrong.
After exhausting all his efforts to entrust the prince to his child to send him to the throne, Huo Guang was slightly relieved.He failed his elder brother's entrustment to "protect His Highness the Crown Prince", but he did not disappoint the Crown Prince's expectations of him. He finally did what he promised him.
Then, Huo Guang began to look forward to the reunion. He thought countless times, what would he say to the prince when he saw the prince again.
It's just that Huo Guang didn't expect that their meeting again would be under such circumstances.
When he opened his eyes again, he was actually at the Huo family in Hedong County.Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.God finally treated him kindly, went around for more than 20 years, and finally gave him a chance to regret and change.
From then on, Huo Guang waited quietly while deducing in his mind how he could help the prince resolve the crisis.
Waiting for my brother to go to Hexi, and take him back to Chang'an after the victory.
Huo Guang imagined countless times what he would say and do when he saw the prince again.But he didn't think that all the presuppositions were superfluous. The reunion between him and the prince was completely different from the original one.
The prince didn't jump in front of his brother, let alone take his hand.It was the strange little doll beside the prince who called him over and stole the prince's lines.
The prince looked at him for a long time, his eyes could even be said to be scrutinizing, but fortunately he finally said the words that Huo Guang remembered for many years.He and the prince are not related by blood, and the biggest connection between them is his elder brother.
Huo Guang understood very early on that it was not on a whim that his elder brother brought him back to Chang'an, let alone to make up for the Huo family.
Huo Qubing never owed the Huo family anything, on the contrary, the Huo family kept rejecting him. His character "Zimeng" is the proof of his doing well.
What the elder brother likes should be his calmness and self-restraint, he hopes that he can help the prince.Just like what his elder brother said to him, "Zimeng, the prince has been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't know what danger is. You need to mention him more."
"I will." He solemnly promised his brother, but in the end he failed to live up to his promise.
The innocent little baby is called Wei Wuyou, the eldest son of the general, and the cousin of the elder brother and the crown prince.
Huo Guang had never met Wuyou, but he had heard of Wei Wuyou's name, and his elder brother mentioned this cousin in a regretful tone.Because he said that among the four sons of the great general, Wuyou was the most talented in military affairs. Unfortunately, he died young, and the Wei family has no successors.
But at this moment, he saw Wei Wuyou, a child who should have passed away in his memory at this time.
Because of the different behavior of the prince when he first met him, Huo Guang once suspected that the prince had the same memory of his previous life as he did.
As time goes by, Huo Guang overthrows his own thoughts, and the truth seems to be more interesting than he imagined.
