The fifth year of Xiping, August 25th!

Hufu study.

Hu Guang received a letter from Liaodong, and the old man sat behind a few cases, unhurriedly unwrapped the fire paint, and read it casually.

The reason why Hu Guang has such a performance is that in the past two years, the correspondence between Li Man and Hu Guang has mostly been based on family affairs.

In Hu Guang's view, Li Man has already been out of school and can be in charge on his own, so in the past two years, the exchanges between him and Li Man have rarely talked about official affairs, and the content of the conversation between the two is mostly about health preservation and teaching children.

This move also has the intention of avoiding suspicion.

First, Hu Guang's identity is too sensitive, although he is a veteran of the Six Dynasties, he has countless halos and honors, but under the high position, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him all the time.

Hu Guang has been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty all his life, and he doesn't want to end up with a tragic ending when the time comes.

Second, Li Man, as a feudal official who leads a county alone, should indeed not be very close to the bigwigs in the DPRK and China.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Man and Hu Guang were both loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that their grave grass would have reached several feet high.

Hu Guang squinted his cloudy eyes, casually looked at the Zuo Bo paper in his hand, and there were always no new greetings at the beginning, but Hu Guang seemed to never get tired of reading it, and he always had to read it carefully word by word before he would give up.

Hu Guang treats Li Man more kindly than his own sons and nephews.

Hu Guang often said to people: Papers should be crowned with uncles.

When it comes to martial arts, Zizhong is the hero, but only Zizhong is good at civil and military affairs.

Therefore, among the disciples, the one who passed on my mantle was only the son of loyalty.

Cai Yong smells it every time, but he only sighs helplessly, there is no way, Hu Shi likes people who are both civil and military.

Moreover, the reputation of the Li family is too good, Li Man's ancestor and father were all wise during their tenure, and they all had good friends with Hu Guang.

Li Man's father, diligent in royal affairs, his ability is not even better, such a person, it is difficult to dislike.

Hu Guang's youngest son, Hu Shuo, was Chinese New Year's Eve at the time, and because of Hu Guang's age, Hu Shuo resolutely resigned from his official position, often accompanying Hu Guang, every morning and evening, and personally taking care of his father's daily life.

At this time, Hu Shuo, who was standing respectfully on the side of several cases, watched his father's face turn from joy to more and more solemn, until his eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

Hu Shuo came to Hu Guang's side with a puzzled face, and looked at the Zuo Bo paper in his father's hand.

Hu Guang didn't mean to carry him, so he handed over the Zuo Bo paper in his hand to Hu Shuo, let him look at it by himself, and sighed: "This is the locust control strategy of Zizhong and his father. ”

There are no locusts in the world, it is purely an exaggeration under Hu Guang's excitement, and it can't be true! It's really well governed!

Hu Shuo looked at the strategy of curing locusts at a glance, his face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "Zizhong has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, which is really the luck of the great man." ”

Hu Guangyan nodded with a smile when he heard this, and said, "Change clothes for my father, and enter the palace to see my father." ”

When Hu Shuo heard this, he hurriedly promised, and with the help of the maidservants in the house, he changed Hu Guang's clothes.

After a long time.

Hu Guang was dressed in a red and white wide-sleeved tunic and wore a three-beam crown on his head. With a gold seal and purple ribbon on his waist, wearing a pair of double-pointed head square shoes, he walked out of the study slowly, and with the support of Hu Shuo, he went to the Yimen to board the car, and then went straight to the palace.

The carriage came to a slow stop in front of the palace gate.

Hu Guang tidied up his clothes and appearance outside the palace gate, and then, under the guidance of a eunuch, went straight to the Chongde Hall of the South Palace.

Along the way, everyone saw it and took the initiative to say hello to him.

Walking outside the Chongde Palace, he saw Zhang Rang standing in front of the palace gate, looking at himself with a smile.

When Hu Guangxing approached, Zhang Rang bowed slightly and said with a smile: "How is Hu Gongan?" ”

Hu Guang nodded and said, "Your Majesty is in the palace?" ”

"Here, Your Majesty learned that Duke Hu entered the palace to ask for a meeting, and the specially appointed slaves and maids are waiting for Duke Hu here."

"The minister has something important to ask to see His Majesty, please ask Zhang Changshi to pass it on on his behalf." , Hu Guang said in a deep voice.

"Gong Hu waits." , Zhang Rang said and turned around and walked towards the hall.

A moment later.

Zhang Rang went and returned, standing on the steps with a solemn expression, looking at Hu Guang condescendingly, and pulling the male duck's throat and said, "Your Majesty has sent the Taifu to see you." ”

Hu Guang raised his hand and stroked the crown hat on his head, and after tidying up his appearance, he went to the palace gate to take off his shoes, and then stepped into the hall.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang followed suit.

After entering the hall and saluting, Liu Hong ordered Zhang Rang to watch the seat for Hu Guang, and said, "I don't know where the Taifu came from?" ”

Hu Guangzheng wanted to get up and reply, but he heard Liu Hong say softly: "Taifu is old, so he doesn't have to live in red tape and avoid courtesy." ”

Hu Guang was not pretentious, bowed slightly, thanked His Majesty, and then eloquently expressed the meaning of this trip: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the minister and Liaodong Taishou Li Man, on the matter of locust control has been discussed and confirmed many times, after years of research, take its essence, go to its dross, and finally came up with an effective strategy for controlling locusts. ”

"Oh?" Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and present it." ”

Zhang Ranglian claimed that he would present the strategy of controlling locusts engraved on the slip to the emperor.

On the way here, Hu Guang re-copied the strategy for controlling locusts, and now this is a copy, and the original manuscript was left in the carriage by Hu Guang.

Hu Guang has been immersed in officialdom all his life, Li Man's little Jiujiu, naturally he can't hide Hu Guang's eyes, Hu Guang is not a person who does not know how to change, in Hu Guang's mind, since Li Man wants to hide his merit and fame, he will fulfill him.

As for why Li Man hid his merits and fame, this question is not difficult to guess, compared to entering Beijing, the border county is more suitable for Li Man, and the people of Liaodong need Li Man's all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

Because of this, Li Man had to hide his merits and fame, otherwise, the Son of Heaven would probably transfer him to Beijing on the grounds of exhaustion.

The reason why Li Man made such a decision was because Li Yang asked his father to stay in Liaodong on the grounds that the people of Liaodong needed a Taishou who was both civil and military, to guard the frontier for the Han Dynasty and defend the people against foreign races.

Li Yang played a crucial role in this matter.

Li Yang is still young and can't make his own decisions about many things, but he can achieve what he wants by influencing Li Man.

As a traverser, Li Yang is familiar with the trend of history, and before the troubled times come, he must plan in advance, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will end up in a tragic end.

In troubled times, central officials are far less important than local officials.

When the emperor is in vain, the feudal officials who are in charge of the people's livelihood and the power of life and death of the people are the actual rulers of the country.

"Good!" , Liu Hong was amazed and said excitedly: "This strategy is very good, too talented, but the world is also safe." ”

Hu Guang bowed slightly, and said modestly: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, this is the duty of a minister, and Your Majesty should not praise it like this." ”

Liu Hong laughed heartily and said: "Taifu's policy has the grace of reinvention for the people, and it is really a move for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

Hu Guangyan bowed down again and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, rare in ancient and modern times, the ancients often said, the king is virtuous, and the minister can be fortunate to get this good policy, all thanks to His Majesty's grace, it is really God bless the great man." ”

After a long time, Zhang Rang couldn't bear it anymore, and finally interrupted the unnutritious mutual praise between the monarch and the minister.

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong with burning eyes, bowed down and said with a smile: "How should such a good policy be implemented?" ”

Liu Hong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head and fell into deep thought!

After a long time!

Liu Hong, who had no clue, frowned and looked at Hu Guang, and asked, "Taifu has a good plan?" ”

The corners of Hu Guang's mouth hooked a slight arc, and said: "Although this is a little good, but... I'm afraid the people won't buy it. ”

The ability of the people to accept new things is limited, or in other words, the people like a stable life and do not like to innovate the old.

Throughout history, many dynasties have introduced new ones to benefit the country and the people, but the people do not buy it, so that no matter how good the policy is, it cannot be well implemented and implemented.

Liu Hong and Zhang Rang nodded in unison.

After a pause, Hu Guang continued: "You can find a county first, promote it, and try it out." ”

"Where should I try it?" , Liu Hong nodded slowly and asked.

"Youzhou, Liaodong County." , Hu Guang replied: "This is slightly created by the ministers and Zizhong, Zizhong knows it very well, and His Majesty can order Zizhong to implement it on his behalf." ”

The corners of Liu Hong's mouth hooked a faint arc, bowed slightly, and immediately clapped the board: "Yes." ”

Liu Hong and Hu Guang were like a mirror in their hearts, if they wanted to promote the new policy, they had to be implemented by a feudal official who knew the new policy well, had outstanding ability, had a strong wrist, and had a high prestige, and Li Man happened to meet many of the above conditions perfectly.
