Chapter 266: Living Father (Complete Book)

“Huo Yuanjia, when were you number one in Tianjin?”

Huo Yuanjia smiled: “Oh? What do you think?”

“Just today, just today!”

This year, Huo Yuanjia is 31 years old.

This year, he is in Tianjin.

Since the emergence of the shipping route, Tianjin has grown from a small village to one of the five cities and four ports of the Han Dynasty.

At present, Tianjin is mainly doing one thing.

Human transportation.

Human transportation transported a large number of northern humans to all parts of the world, and when they returned, they would follow the same path and bring back the world’s wealth.

In the first twenty years, in order to help spread the power of the Han court to the countryside, many police officers were local wealthy families.

The problem is that the Jinwuwan Port is a newly developed area and there are no wealthy families there.

Therefore, this place with complex forces is full of gangs.

At first, the Han Dynasty wanted to ban the chivalrous culture, but after Liu Che discussed with Huo Hai, they decided not to abolish the chivalrous culture, but to enhance it and make it a chivalrous culture.

In this way, chivalrous culture can actually improve the moral level of the Han people.

The three port cities of Beijinmen, Zhongqiancheng and Nanhuiji were where all kinds of people gathered and formed a complex chivalrous culture, which also gave rise to the Jianghu.

Ten years ago, Huo Yan came alone to Jinwu Bay, the port of Tianjin, and started his career in the underworld.

At the beginning, everyone knew that a young man came from Tianjin. He was a master in fighting and pretending to be awesome.

After a long time and many setbacks, Huo Yan finally realized that those crappy boxing skills he learned were all just fancy tricks.

“Dad, your punches are not fast enough, and not hard enough!”

Who is Huo Yan? Soon a group of experts appeared around him.

Although Huo Yan learned some fancy things in the first twenty years, he laid an unparalleled foundation and had good genes.

Therefore, after coming into contact with this group of masters, my boxing skills immediately underwent essential changes.

Huo Family Boxing was born.

The Huo Family Secret Skills is divided into four parts: On Horseback, On Dismount, With Weapons, and With Bare Hands.

Among them, the horse-riding combat tactics were taught by masters sent by Huo Qubing. At the beginning, Huo Qubing wanted to test out the most suitable weapon for combat. He searched everywhere and finally found the knife. However, in the process, Huo Qubing’s men tried almost all the horse-riding weapons, and now they were useless, so they were all taught to Huo Yan.

The tactics of fighting on horseback originated from palace restrictions.

The Huo Family’s Eight Internal Skills, also known as the Internal Arts, are the required unarmed combat techniques for the eunuchs in the Forbidden Palace of the Han Dynasty.

I don’t know if it was destined that there would be a man named Huo Yuanjia who used the secret methods of the Han Dynasty court to summarize the Huo Family Fist.

Huo Yuanjia’s previous life was 1,700 years away from the Han Dynasty, and this time, Huo Yuanjia learned everything in the palace hand in hand.

Now in Huo Yan’s boxing skills, there are eight techniques that can twist the opponent’s neck, which are called the Eight Deadly Hands. Based on these eight techniques, twenty-four secret techniques that can strangle the enemy have evolved, which are called the Huo Family’s Twenty-Four Tantric Strangling Techniques.

Although Huo Yan was obsessed with martial arts, he also knew that these things could not be passed on to outsiders at will, so the name of Huo Family Esoteric Fist came into being.

Most of the coolies working at the Tianjin Port were uneducated, and as the secret was passed on, it became known as the Huo family’s mysterious fist.

In fact, after seeing the man demonstrate the Huo family’s mysterious fist, Huo Hai came to the conclusion at a glance.

On the basis of large and small grappling, ground techniques and joint techniques are added.

Isn’t this… similar to judo?

However, what Huo Hai didn’t know was that the Huo family boxing in previous life history was also like this.

However, Huo Hai knew very well that under the rules of the ring, this set of hooliganism was invincible and no one could win.

All the methods that can defeat Huo Yan are methods that cannot be used in the ring.

Therefore, Huo Hai devoted himself to developing the oil industry in Anguo.

Birenegi III held the child and stood guard outside the palace gate. Huo Hai was unmoved: “Go back and rule your Egypt.”

Bilenji didn’t want to, and Huo Hai refused to see her.

Feeling that Huo Hai was so ruthless, Bilenji still gave in and followed the Han army south to occupy the golden island of Alexandria.

Huo Hai never expected that the last and largest pyramid in the world would belong to him.

……

The 32-year-old Huo Yan is invincible in Tianjin.

When he defeated his last opponent, Huo Yan received the seal sent by Liu Che.

Liu Che wants Huo Yan to go to Chang’an to supervise the country.

The elderly Liu Che also wanted to go to Tianjin, then take a boat to a northern port and visit North America.

This process will take at least three months.

Therefore, a regent is needed.

Crown Prince Liu Ju had resigned long ago.

Liu Ju now has only one thing to do, and that is to defeat Changan in terms of automobile structure and lead the Mercedes-Benz he founded to win this long competition.

Unfortunately, the one he was competing with was not Chang’an, which was founded by Huo Hai and belonged to the Huo family.

It’s the BMW brand.

When the V2 engine was invented by Le Lushao, motorcycles were put on the agenda. At that time, the new factory had to be named, and Le Lushao named it Ancheng Engine Manufacturing Factory.

But when deciding what to call this new car, it was finally named BMW.

It means a brand new motorcycle that will replace the Arabian BMW.

So, now I’m fighting against Liu Ju.

The competition between Mercedes-Benz and BMW was in line with Huo Hai’s expectations.

As for Changan’s technological accumulation… just the technology left behind by Huo Hai’s 180-horsepower thing, if they slowly digest it and mass-produce it, will be enough for them to pursue for many years.

Therefore, Liu Ju no longer wanted to be the regent and no longer wanted to be the crown prince.

It’s time to give up your pick.

Since the Han Dynasty expanded westward in those years, the Wei and Huo foreign relatives have been fighting and absorbing the population and land throughout the west, and the wealth of the Han Dynasty has expanded rapidly.

Under the leadership of Princess Wei Chang, various thermal power plants and hydropower plants began to be built across the country, and large wheel sets began to appear.

Chang’an became a city that never sleeps.

Princess Wei Chang has been in power for a long time, and all the people have become accustomed to this prime minister.

What’s wrong with Princess Wei Chang’s eldest son becoming the regent?
Liu Che has been very kind to Huo Yan over the years. Huo Yan didn’t need to ask him for anything. Did Huo Yan ask anyone for a martial arts master? Did Liu Che’s guards go there on their own?
However, after seeing the seal of the Regent, Huo Yan disappeared.

Even though Liu Che’s men were spread throughout the Thirteen Provinces of the Han Dynasty, Huo Yan still disappeared.

Liu Che soon realized that Huo Yan had gone overseas.

Liu Che just wanted Huo Yan to go back, change his surname, and become emperor.

Huo Yan refused.

According to Liu Che’s current understanding, men and women inherit the same amount of genes anyway, so his characteristics as an emperor are nothing more than the surname Liu and the Han Dynasty.

As long as Huo Yan changes his surname to Liu, he can become emperor.

But Huo Yan knew better than anyone how could the emperor have a living father whose surname was not Liu?

If Huo Yan died suddenly, who would succeed him? The younger brother of the future emperor named Liu Yan? His last name is not Liu.

Liu Che would not allow such a thing to happen after his death.

Therefore, if Huo Yan took over the seal, Huo Hai would be close to death.

However, Huo Yan disappeared.

When he was twelve years old, he asked his mother one day why his mother and father had so many wives even though they were so loving.

Princess Wei Chang told Huo Yan the answer at that time.

Huo Yan, who was in his thirties, still remembered it, so he just patted his butt and ran away.

Huo Yan, the best in Tianjin, left the world and came to the sea, only then did he realize the cruelty of the world.

Huo Yan, 33 years old, had his right leg broken by a yellow dog peeing kick in Cactus City.

Before being rescued, Huo Yan asked: “I didn’t expect there is such a wonderful trick in the world. What is this trick? Did you create it?”

The opponent sneered: “Your skills are fine in the ring, but you will die off the stage.”

“My move is not as good as yours. My move is called Yellow Dog Peeing, a move from Xingyiquan.” The opponent bowed to the sky and said, “Master Huo Hai.”

After going through a lot, the 33-year-old Huo Yan finally saw the real world, real martial arts, and his real father.

At first, Huo Yan learned how to fake good moves.

After being beaten in Tianjin, he began to gather various masters and developed a set of fighting methods that were invincible in the ring.

Over the years, there have always been some strange opponents appearing in the ring.

A boxer who only attacks with his fists and not his legs, but whose steps are extremely agile.

A Jiu-Jitsu master who claims to attack with his hands, but actually every move is made with his toes.

He kneels down when he meets you, and before you can react, you’ve been pinned to the ground by the kneeling wrestler.

One after another, the masters were defeated by Huo Yan.

In the ring, with Huo Yan’s talent, experience and rich learning from teachers, no one can defeat him.

However, in the first year after entering the outside world, Huo Yan had his leg broken.

The first move that broke his leg was the first fancy move he learned.

Huo Yan thought about it carefully. No matter how agile a boxer is, his legs would be broken if he encountered the yellow dog peeing trick for the first time.

When the opponent suddenly falls and squats, the normal reaction of a person is to look down, then use the leg closest to the opponent to kick back and accumulate power to kill the opponent.

At this time, the opponent squats on the ground, supports himself with his hands, and kicks or sweeps out with his feet like springs, just facing the standing leg of the person who kicked.

He was standing on one leg and his opponent, Huang Gou Ziya, kicked him with all his strength, breaking his leg for sure.

Poor Huo Yan truly disappeared from the world this time.

Even Huo Hai, who had been looking for someone to follow him, had lost his trace.

Huo Yan was rescued by a native girl and soon found a doctor for treatment in the mine. Fortunately, the broken leg was only a fracture, not a comminuted fracture, and Huo Yan eventually recovered.

When Huo Hai got news about Huo Yan again, Huo Yan was already 36 years old.

This time, Huo Yan learned a lot of killing skills from martial arts from somewhere.

Only then did Huo Hai send people to pursue him.

After searching all the way, I finally figured out where Huo Yan had been over the years.

Huo Yan traveled on the sea, looking for the true descendants of his masters from the past, learning and communicating with them, and learning real fighting.

Martial arts outside the ring is another matter. Every time Huo Yan learns those cheap but fatal moves, he wants to give up.

But in the end he still went to learn it, as this was the path he had been pursuing all his life.

When he was thirty-six years old, Huo Yan became more and more confused and doubtful.

I began to deny my entire life.

When Huo Yan appeared again, he was already forty years old.

This year, the Han Dynasty’s fleet and army encroached on Greece and other places from multiple directions and had already reached Rome.

This year, Wei Qing finally retired and returned to the Khanate.

Wei Qing was already 82 years old this year.

Huo Qubing was already sixty-five years old.

This time, Huo Qubing changed his previous fast fighting style and fought slower and slower. In the end, he fought so slowly that his own sons had already become local tyrants in the occupied areas, and only then did he continue to move forward.

It’s easy to hit fast, hit like a whirlwind, hit and leave.

It is difficult to fight slowly, step by step, and digest it forever.

However, Huo Qubing, who was 65 years old, also stopped in Rome and did not want to go any further.

This year, Huo Hai was sixty-three years old. Compared with Huo Qubing, who was two years older than him but looked much older, Huo Hai looked like a man in his forties.

Marius knelt on one knee and swore his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

Caesar, who was only 25 years old, lowered his noble head deeply.

He didn’t understand why his arrogant uncle didn’t protect his last glory but surrendered instead.

Of course, Caesar had no way of knowing that he was a war enthusiast trained by his uncle and that he had to take up arms to resist the Han Dynasty. How could Marius let a young general like Caesar know how cruelly the Han Dynasty dealt with nobles who were unwilling to surrender?

If you surrender, you can still leave some bloodline, but don’t think about privileges. You will have to live in anonymity in the future.

Unwilling to surrender…

Huo Hai looked at Marius who was kneeling on one knee and didn’t pay attention to Caesar.

Caesar? Caesar was not even qualified to kneel down and surrender.

Marius looked at Huo Hai: “I was deceived back then…”

Huo Hai: “You couldn’t have stopped the big man in the first place. It was because of my obstruction that you lived the life of a consul. If I hadn’t stopped you, you would have died thirty years ago.”

Marius smiled bitterly: “Do I want to be like those Parthian nobles, those Greek nobles?”

Huo Hai: “I heard you have a Chinese rural dog?”

Marius nodded: “I was curious, so I raised a big yellow.”

Huo Hai: “Are you obedient?”

Marius nodded.

Huo Hai: “Do you know why it is so obedient? Why doesn’t it eat the food in its hand or on the chopsticks, but only eats the food on the ground? Do you know why it listens to its owner so much?”

Marius shook his head.

Huo Hai: “Because the junk genes of a dog that likes to bite people will pollute the gene pool of pastoral dogs, but such dogs happen to be delicious.”

Marius knew that his dream was over.

Huo Hai: “I’ll give you a chance. Give me a list of all the people in Rome who are proficient in Chinese, and also a list of all the people who are proficient in classical culture, and I’ll let you go to Chang’an and have a good sleep.”

Marius obeyed.

When seeing the names on the list, Huo Hai noticed an interesting name.

“Caesar!”

Caesar didn’t understand why such an insignificant figure like him would be mentioned by the Duke of Anguo of the Han Dynasty.

He just walked forward quickly, and finally, Caesar had the right to kneel down.

Kneel on both knees and crawl on the ground.

Huo Hai looked down at Caesar: “Look up.”

Caesar raised his head.

Huo Hai took a look and confirmed the true appearance of this Roman version of An Lushan, and said: “Take the army and conquer all of Europe for the Han Dynasty. Cooperate with the Confucian Han envoys and occupy Europe step by step.”

“Those are all your merits. You can also be made a marquis in the future.”

Caesar’s breathing quickened, gasping: “Yes… yes!”

I am just an inconspicuous young general, how come it is my turn?
Of course it would be his turn. Huo Hai knew very well what kind of person Caesar was.

In Western descriptions, Caesar was a great general and a great leader.

Even people in later Europe used the word “Caesar” instead of the word “Emperor”.

But in fact, this is too high.

If Caesar’s adopted son Octavian had not become emperor and the legitimate emperor, Caesar would actually be equivalent to An Lushan.

But if you think about it carefully, if An Lushan’s son or adopted son became the emperor, then An Lushan’s status must have been very high, after all, he represented the Hebei Group to defeat the Guanlong Group.

But this has nothing to do with an objective evaluation of Caesar and An Lushan.

Huo Hai knew what kind of person Caesar was. Huo Hai could use him, but of course he couldn’t let him have a moment to breathe.

Marquis?

It’s okay to confer the title of nobility on a dead person. There’s nothing wrong with that.

The door opened and Huo Hai frowned.

I was talking about something, how could anyone dare to push the door and come in?

Huo Hai couldn’t see the person clearly in the light from the doorway for a while.

Finally, Huo Yan, who looked older than Huo Hai, walked up to Huo Hai and said, “Father.”

The person who came was Huo Yan.

Huo Yan spent his entire life practicing martial arts. Finally, when he was forty years old, he understood the truth that Huo Hai wanted to teach him when he was four years old.

“Why do we have to fight and kill? Strengthening our bodies is our own business. What’s the point of beating someone and not being able to beat someone?”

At the beginning, Huo Hai asked all the masters not to teach Huo Yan any real killing skills, and only taught Huo Yan those things that made him look good in fighting.

It’s because of this sentence.

Huo Yan had been fighting outside all his life, wandering around the world all his life, leaving his figure, stories, and legends in countless places, and finally he understood this matter.

Now, Huo Yan came to Rome and heard that Huo Hai was going to send troops to continue attacking Europe and those poor barbarians. Huo Yan used the martial arts he had practiced all his life to persuade Huo Hai: “Don’t fight anymore.”

At the age of forty, Huo Yan was already a martial arts master. He was at the end of his best physical strength, but at the age of greatest experience, and no one in this world could beat him.

But Huo Hai shook his head when facing his son.

“You have your own life, just live your own life, don’t interfere.”

Huo Yan still wanted to persuade.

Huo Hai: “Then you go to Chang’an to be the emperor?”

Everyone present closed their ears.

Huo Hai dared to speak, but they didn’t dare to listen.

Huo Yan: “But, when I was young, you understood this truth. When I was my age and understood this truth, you don’t understand it anymore?”

Huo Hai: “Of course I know this truth, but there is another truth that I have never taught you. You must first distinguish between what is a person and what is a country.”

“Do you know how to write Chinese characters?”

“Inside a city, there is jade. Jade has always represented beauty in China.”

Huo Yan: “So, when you invented this word, you were thinking of bringing all the good things in the world to China?”

Huo Hai: “If you want to know what a human is, go find your mother. She has studied primates all her life, and she knows this best.”

“If you want to know what a country is, you should go to your mother. She has been in charge of this country for so long, so she knows this matter best.”

Huo Yan was very obedient and actually went to Chang’an.

Princess Wei Chang certainly would not tell Huo Yan what primates were or what a country was. Princess Wei Chang just repeated everything that Huo Hai had told him before.

Princess Wei Chang asked Huo Yan if he wanted to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

If you want to be the prince, go to the New Xianyang Palace to find your grandfather. If you don’t want to be the prince, go back to Anguo. At least you can be good to the people of a small country.

After spending a day reading official documents at Princess Wei Chang’s place and seeing the bloody truth about this world, martial arts grandmaster Huo Yan returned to Anguo.

Although there are many brothers and sisters here whom he has never met, Huo Yan found peace here.

……

Chang’an City.

Huo Guang was already the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

When Huo Hai was 55 years old, he resigned from his position as prime minister when the Han Dynasty began its plan to attack Rome.

Because when the attack on Rome began, Parthia had already been completely absorbed by the Han Dynasty.

In various places in Anxi, oil factories were built frantically.

Oil was transported to Dahan barrel by barrel via sea.

Parthia had become an indispensable part of the Han Dynasty’s economy, and there was no longer any talk of it being lost.

Therefore, Huo Hai no longer needs to continue doing logistical work.

The fifty-three-year-old Huo Guang took over this position.

Tian Qianqiu was the Imperial Doctor and Jiang Buyi was his Minister of Agriculture.

All of the Nine Ministers were promoted by him or were outstanding people of the same age.

The older generation has traveled all over the world and become governors in a more literal sense than the previous governors.

The national strength of the Han Dynasty was so strong that it was unprecedented in history.

This is much stronger than the Qin Dynasty.

Huo Guang even felt that any county or prefecture could organize itself and violently suppress the entire peak of the Qin Dynasty.

But even such a terrifying man was managed extremely smoothly by Huo Guang.

Huo Guang thought back to when he was fourteen years old.

Suddenly one day, a boy two years older than him came to the Huo family and insisted that he was the second child in the Huo family.

After Dad thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

I had a second brother without knowing it, and it had only been ten days since I had an older brother without knowing it.

From that day on, my second brother studied with me.

The second brother said something unreliable: “This little bit of fire is nothing. Do you know that there is something called electricity in the world? It…”

“Copying this book is really tiring. I just need to print it on paper with a printing press and it will be done…”

Huo Guang is the most law-abiding person in the world.

So Huo Guang asked: “What is paper, what is printing, and what is a printing press?”

“What is electricity? What is light? What else is electricity used for?”

“Hundreds of millions of people? How do we manage such a large population?”

“A huge city? Commercial taxes? Railways? Trade? Trains?!”

Over the past six months, whenever Huo Hai talked about something, Huo Guang would get to the bottom of it.

That year, the ministers doubted that Huo Hai could not write a good fu.

Huo Guang didn’t even smile.

Because the ministers were not worthy of being targets and defeated by his second brother’s things, Huo Guang remained silent and just kept praising his second brother.

That year, Huo Guang had already figured out how to manage a modern country.

Over the years, Huo Guang had been learning how to become a minister qualified to manage a modern country.

Fifty-three-year-old Huo Guang came to power.

Just three years later, Wei Qing quit.

The brothers Huo Qubing and Huo Hai will never come back from their time away. This is a secret that everyone knows but does not need to be revealed.

Therefore, Huo Guang was promoted to Grand Marshal and General.

The fifty-six-year-old Huo Guang led the Han Dynasty in an orderly manner, and many new ministers emerged.

Ministers such as Zhang Anshi and Liu Quti were in the limelight.

They run the country in good order.

Because it is so old, some funny jokes may even be born.

People who have just arrived at the court are often shocked: “What? Grand Marshal Huo Guang is the younger brother of Huo Hai, who led the Han Dynasty to carry out the new business reform decades ago as described in history books?”

“What? You said Huo Hai is still alive? Which Huo Hai?”

“You mean… Huo Qubing is still alive? Are you kidding me?”

If nothing unexpected happens, Huo Hai will never come to Chang’an again.

Anyway, after the wired telegraph technology was sent to Chang’an, wireless telegraph was invented soon after.

When news travels so quickly in the world, there is no chance of a major rebellion.

If there is, it is a dispute within the empire.

Anguo was considered the most powerful vassal state in the world.

Anguo was a wealthy country, and barrels of oil were extracted from here and sent to the Han Dynasty.

However, the people in Anguo don’t even know how to make a clockwork frog.

Who in this world can fight against the Han people?

The problem was that this time, Huo Hai encountered a situation where he had to go back.

The radio message was placed in front of him, and Huo Hai read it word by word, over and over again.

Read it many times.

Finally confirmed that I read it correctly.

Empress Wei was seriously ill with cancer.

It seems that there is a magical force in the world that prevents some things from happening.

At the same time, the new crown prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fuling, also got cancer.

At this time, it is actually the most dangerous time.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was old, Huo Hai’s wife had controlled Huazhou for many years, and his younger brother became the Grand Marshal and General.

At this time, it would not be a good thing for either Huo Hai or Huo Qubing to return to Chang’an.

However, the two brothers eventually joined together in the Khanate.

When he arrived at the Khanate and met Wei Kang, Huo Hai learned that Wei Qing had died years ago.

Even if technology improves, even if the care is better, the time is still up.

They have lived a long life.

Taking a train from the Khanate, Huo Qubing and Huo Hai headed all the way to Chang’an.

The cotton fields everywhere are so conspicuous under the blue sky.

The train traveled all the way through the rich Western Regions and arrived in Dunhuang.

Starting from Dunhuang, the prosperous scene that was so dazzling that even Huo Hai was surprised.

This is a completely new form that is completely different from the development after the industrial revolution in the previous life.

The 67-year-old Huo Qubing had fought all his life and was no longer the young general, but he did not suffer many injuries. Like Huo Hai, he lived his own life for more than 20 years in middle age.

During those days, Huo Qubing lived a more carefree life than Huo Hai. During those years, Huo Hai could not return to Chang’an, but Huo Qubing continued to live in Chang’an. During those years, Huo Qubing also often visited Wei Zifu, his actual adoptive mother.

Huo Hai still remembers that the last time he saw his mother-in-law, she had a kind face.

At that time, Wei Zifu was already presbyopic and wore reading glasses. Together with Liu Che, who was wearing myopic glasses, they looked like an old couple working in cultural and educational fields.

After Huo Hai proposed protection 20 years ago, the vegetation here is no longer cut down and towering trees are everywhere.

The scenery is much better than the loess of later generations.

The green hills that took so much effort to restore in the previous life were preserved in Huo Hai’s hands, and the trees were much taller than those in his previous life. After all, these trees took hundreds of years to grow.

“It’s not a wasted effort.”

Huo Qubing: “You mean the electric wires on the mountainside?”

“It’s so remote that there’s electricity. It seems that even in the villages, people are starting to use electricity. Although we’re relatively well-off here, it’s a good start. It’s really worth the effort.”

Huo Hai shook his head and said, “I mean those trees. Try to leave as many as possible for future generations.”

……

Chang’an City.

Liu Che stood in front of the coffin, silent.

Huo Qubing walked up.

Princess Wei Chang stepped forward and held Huo Qubing back: “Don’t look at it anymore, it’s been too long…”

Not to mention so many days, it will be impossible to watch after three days.

Huo Qubing shook his head, walked forward and looked into the coffin.

If it weren’t for the two brothers, he would have been buried long ago.

Now that I’m back today, I’ll carry the coffin.

Liu Che looked at the aging Huo Qubing and Huo Hai, who looked a little younger but was actually already 65 years old, and could not help but shook his head.

No matter how heroic a person is, he will be abandoned by God.

After the coffin entered Maoling, the palace door was closed.

On the way down the mountain, Huo Hai suddenly laughed.

Everyone looked at Huo Hai, who pointed to an empty space and said, “Do you know why this tree is so much smaller than the surrounding trees?”

Few people present knew about it.

“It turns out that tree was cut down.”

Everyone was shocked.

Who has the guts to cut down trees in Maoling?

This is Maoling, a man-made super mountain where all the treasures of the world are buried.

Huo Hai pointed at Fan Bei and said, “He chopped it.”

Fan Pei stared: “Ah?! Lord Anguo, I was not the one who did the main damage at the beginning. Huangfu Hua did it, and I was just assisting.”

Huo Hai: “I remember, but Huangfu Hua is not here today, so I can only say that you chopped it off.”

Shangguan Jie suddenly remembered the story of the Four Righteous Men of Maoling that he had heard about that year.

It happened so long ago.

On the way down the mountain, Liu Che pointed to the side and said, “Qubing, this is for you.”

Huo Qubing subconsciously said: “Forget it, my body will have been stinking for a month by the time it is sent to Chang’an.”

Liu Che, with a head full of white hair, shook his head and pointed to the right.

Huo Hai: “Mine?”

Liu Che shook his head and said, “There is a princess mausoleum in the northeast. You should be buried there.”

“The mausoleum was built according to the emperor’s specifications.”

Huo Qubing didn’t really want to hear this.

Liu Che coughed a few times, a little weakly: “I have been choosing and choosing for my whole life, and finally chose Fuling, but he is only twenty years old, and he died earlier than me.”

“There is no choice now, and I can’t do it either.”

“You and Qing Ke can take over.”

Huo Hai didn’t really want to respond.

Liu Che: “If Qing Ke takes over, who should she hand over the throne to?”

“Give it to her daughter?”

Nearly twenty-three years ago, when Huo Hai followed the army to transform Central Asia, he had two sons and one daughter, born to Princess Wei Chang before he parted ways with her.

The daughter was just as smart as Princess Wei Chang herself, loved the people like her own children, and was highly respected by the people.

Liu Che continued: “Or should we pass the throne to Huo Yan? Huo Yan would rather disappear for ten years than accept the regent seal I gave him.”

“You two are in power, just like the Roman consuls. Now everyone is optimistic about the great grandson Liu Bingyi, but he is too young.”

“It won’t be too late to succeed him when he’s thirty or even forty.”

“This is not the past. A fifteen-year-old emperor can only cause great harm to the world.”

Huo Hai understood what Liu Che meant.

If Princess Wei Chang became emperor, she would be a female emperor, which would cause trouble for the future inheritance of the throne. What if a large number of female members of the royal family became emperors, but their husband’s families had ambitions?
So, it will be easier if there is a precedent.

Princess Wei Chang and her husband Huo Hai jointly ruled the country, and then returned power to the descendants of the crown prince, that is, the heir apparent.

This problem is solved.

In other words, in the future, if the prince’s lineage is really useless and the eldest princess is good, the eldest princess will be in power, and then the power will be returned to whichever generation of the prince’s descendants is good.

The reason why it is so reliable is that the eldest princess’ husband will definitely not be a useless person, so he is more stable.

Of course, unless the candidate is as powerful and terrifying as Huo Hai, it is unrealistic for him to be much stronger than the prince.

The ultimate secret of the world that no one else can access in their entire lives is the prince’s elementary education textbook.

How can ordinary people compare?
Therefore, it is not certain whether such extreme examples will occur in the future.

But, plan ahead.

What Huo Hai and Liu Che have been doing together for so many years is nothing more than preparing for a rainy day.

When Huo Hai was 66 years old, Liu Che abdicated.

Huo Hai and Liu Lian jointly served as regents of the Han Dynasty.

When Huo Hai was 68 years old, Liu Che had not yet reached the age of 84.

Liu Che was posthumously named Emperor Xiaowu of Han.

Just as Huo Hai said, let your majesty take this posthumous title first.

This year, Caesar conquered the Germanic region and continued to attack the Celtic region without stopping.

The Latin department that Huo Hai specially taught there also flourished.

Strive to divide all barbarians into different small groups.

The royal family members of the Han Dynasty were granted fiefs in these places one by one.

America was short of people and needed a large amount of manpower, so a large number of European laborers were sent to North America to build railways and canals.

The Han people gave the European foreigners abundant food and encouraged them to have more children so that they could dig stones.

However, foreigners have very bad genes, and they can easily get infected with various diseases and die in hot places.

Fortunately, the climate in Europe is not hot, so we can keep giving birth here and sending babies to America.

Seven, three, eight, four, this hurdle is really hard to overcome.

This year, Huo Hai was seventy-three, and Princess Wei Chang was seventy-three.

The next year, Huo Hai was seventy-four and Princess Wei Chang was seventy-three.

The next year, Huo Qubing’s coffin was placed in the last tomb in Maoling, and Maoling was sealed forever.

This year, Europe was almost taken over.

Caesar was about to go to the Han Dynasty to be granted a title of nobility, but his ship, like the ship that carried his uncle Marius, capsized in the Atlantic Ocean.

However, legend has it that Caesar secretly escaped and later became a pirate who roamed the seas.

When Huo Hai was 78 years old, he no longer wanted to be the consul.

Huo Yan, who had practiced martial arts all his life and had suffered too many injuries, died.

He did not live to inherit the oil-rich Anguo left to him by Huo Hai, and he did not even enjoy his own fiefdom, the Nanguo.

Huo Hai directly abolished the blockade of the Southern Kingdom and moved the Southern Kingdom to southern Africa.

The men of the Huo family took the war tools that their fathers had used and began to conquer the last piece of land on the earth.

This land is the easiest to conquer, but the most difficult to digest and manage. If you are not careful, you will fail.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty forced the Romans, Greeks, Europeans, Egyptians, and Parthians to divide Africa and rule it.

Of course, they are just middle management. They appear to be managers, but in fact they are just big hands.

These lands were divided one by one.

After doing this, Huo Hai didn’t want to be this crappy consul anymore.

Huo Hai personally handed the imperial seal to Liu Bingyi and Liu Xun.

Under the wave of industrialization, no matter how well protected the older generation is, they can no longer hold on.

Gradually, Huo Hai could no longer find any acquaintances older than himself.

The people who appeared before his eyes again were either descendants of old friends, descendants of relatives, or his own descendants.

This development trend made Huo Hai feel something strange.

Is it true that the tide of history cannot be stopped?

After retirement, Huo Hai lived in the ruling palace built when he was in power.

Sometimes, Liu Bingyi came back to visit Huo Hai.

Liu Che served as the emperor emeritus for a year.

Huo Hai has been in office for many years.

That year, Huo Hai was exactly ninety years old.

Liu died of illness.

His posthumous title was Emperor Xiaoxuan of Han.

The new emperor was named Liu Shi.

Huo Hai knew nothing about him.

Until the day he got married.

After Huo Hai learned that his wife’s name was Wang Zhengjun, he went to ask someone.

I found out that Wang Zhengjun’s grandfather was named Wang He.

Huo Hai, the old consul, was gradually forgotten.

But it is also a bit strange that although everyone has forgotten that this person holds such great power, his shadow can be seen everywhere in the textbooks.

When studying the history of the Han Dynasty, you can never avoid this name.

In most industries, you will always see this name at key points.

However, those old ambitious people in Chang’an City, feeling their aging bodies, could only look in that direction and sigh, “How can he still be alive?”

But Huo Hai’s days are not boring.

Many new inventions were sent here for evaluation and guidance by the master Huo Hai.

In fact, the advice is fake, these are just sent by the younger generation to please the old man.

Of course, these young people are gradually getting old.

Huo Hai is still alive.

Huo Hai was very surprised when he looked in the mirror and saw that his hair was so sparse that only a few dozen strands were left.

Is it because I am not from this world that this world has forgotten me?

When Huo Hai was 96 years old, the Han expedition team discovered Antarctica.

The seven continents have been finalized.

China, Asia, North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Antarctica.

As a famous calligrapher, Huo Hai proposed the words “World Map” for the new world map.

Generation after generation of newly admitted officials thought that Huo Hai was dead.

It was only during important festivals that we heard about offering gifts to the old consul.

“what?!”

Are you kidding me? His grandchildren’s emperors have been dead for decades!

Who can stand having a living father like this?
At his age, Huo Hai can see through a person’s heart with just a few glances, but he never says it.

He could feel that his body was in good condition, so he just watched those ambitious people causing trouble in Chang’an City.

Wang Zhengjun is a nice girl. She is not a politician and is very polite.

However, there are more and more people with the surname Wang in the court.

I don’t know where the wind of Guliang School came from, but it blew in.

Archaeological excavations have begun on some ancient tombs, and many ancient items have been unearthed, including items from the Zhou Dynasty and all kinds of other things.

Huo Hai finally said: “Send it to the museum.”

The Han Dynasty built a museum and sent the unearthed objects there.

Huo Hai wanted to try and see if he could hold on until the carbon-14 testing technology came out.

If we can wait, we will confiscate the property and exterminate the entire clan of those who conducted the archaeological excavation.

Time seems to have stood still for this old man.

With a rumble, the brand new diesel locomotive began to travel across the land of the Han Dynasty.

Giant ships with a cross-section five times larger than the original ones began to transport oil at sea.

The first transcontinental flight took off.

Huo Hai even wanted to try whether he could be taken away.

No.

When the horsepower of the four-cylinder engine reached 100, Huo Hai roughly knew that the technology had surpassed the level of World War II.

Synthesis of artificial bovine insulin.

A computer the size of a building was invented.

LCD screen electronic watch.

Silicone oil fan.

Mobile phone.

The aging Huo Hai finally reached his weakest point at this time.

That day, Wang Zhengjun brought her son and nephew to see Huo Hai again.

There was a handsome guy who caught Huo Hai’s attention.

Huo Hai: “Little boy, what’s your name? How old are you?”

The child said calmly: “My name is Wang Mang, and I am eight years old.”

Huo Hai smiled, waved his hand, and signaled the nurse to bring his things over.

Huo Hai handed Wang Mang a box cut from titanium steel.

“This is the latest technology titanium steel, made with the latest lathe, the same lathe used to make submarine propellers, with seamless cutting technology, but there is a lock on it.”

“If you promise me that you won’t try to destroy the box before you find the key, I will give you this latest technology code box.”

Wang Mang thought for a moment and nodded obediently.

Huo Hai was worried about the big man.

Guarded for ninety years.

He lived to be 107 years old.

This dad had been keeping an eye on those bastards until this day.

But, you have to leave, there is no escape.

When people leave, no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless.

……

Wang Mang changed the era name, and although he did not proclaim himself emperor, he became Duke of Anhan.

Wang Mang, who had basically become the executive vice emperor, discovered that there was a key in the box containing the seal after he got it.

At first Wang Mang didn’t understand what the key was, so he asked the emperor, but the emperor didn’t know either.

One night, Wang Mang suddenly woke up from his dream and thought of what it was.

When I was very young, the idol I regarded as myself and whom I aspired to surpass gave me a titanium steel password box.

Of course he is an idol. After Wang Mang knew that Liu Che had planned to confer the title of Duke of Anhan on Huo Hai, he gave this title to himself.

How could he have forgotten the box? He had simply forgotten his childhood.

Wang Mang took a private plane back to his hometown, rummaged through the drawers, and finally found the password box.

He returned to the palace and solemnly picked up the key to try.

“Click.”

The lock is unlocked.

When the box was opened, there was a note inside.

There were some words written on the note.

When Huo Hai took the position of consul, looking at the audience was like a teacher looking down at the audience during a self-study class. He could see every little movement of the students at a glance.

There are ambitious people everywhere; it’s in the genes of all living things.

Organisms progress through competition.

But a country is not a living thing, but a complex aggregate, the most complex of which is emotion. After pouring out emotion, everything is different. Huo Hai finally left a small note to scare Wang Mang and let Wang Mang know that there are always people better than you.

Looking at the content of the text, Wang Mang thought about the Internet he had deployed around the world and broke out in a cold sweat.

However, Wang Mang was also left with a mark, and ultimately, Wang Mang’s title was still deeply imprinted with Chinese characters.

Who are you? You are a Han Chinese.

……

But who is Wang Mang? In the end, he closed the box and pretended that he had never read the note.

These words are eventually closed, forgotten, and forever buried in a box. When will you remember that you have read it?
