Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hexi Raiders

The official position of Commander of the Horse was first established by order of Emperor Liu Che of Xiaowu. The rank is ranked after the Fengche Commander, who is mainly responsible for the main car when traveling, and the so-called positive car is the car that the emperor takes when traveling, and the rest of the accompanying vehicles are uniformly called the auxiliary car, and the Captain of the Horse is mainly responsible for managing the auxiliary car. But the fundamental role is to help the emperor master the Yulin Guard and protect the emperor's own safety.

Although the servant is in a high position, he is not as good as the captain of the horse at a critical moment. But Huo Shan has already mastered the lieutenant of Fengche, and if Huo Yu continues to serve as the lieutenant of the concubine, it will indeed provoke criticism from the government and the opposition. It is better to let Huo Yu serve as a servant and conduct training. Thinking of this, Huo Guang immediately replied: Your Majesty knows thousands of miles, and non-ministers can reach it. The minister is only afraid, the kid is stubborn, and delays His Majesty's big things.

Listening to Huo Guang's tactful excuse, Liu Xun didn't care, turned his head and said to Huo Shan beside him; Record the edict, Jin Huoyu is the servant, accompanied by the left and right, and Shi Gao turned into a lieutenant. Hearing the edict of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang hurriedly got up and thanked Huo Guang on his behalf. Liu Xun asked Huo Shan, the attendant next to him, to help Huo Guang up, and saw Huo Guang return to his seat. continued to speak: Lai Dan, the captain of Juyan, was martyred in the line of duty, and the mourning must be solemn afterwards. The two thousand Shi heavy ministers in Beijing must personally mourn, and Taichang must also set his wailing and posthumously seal it so that the eldest son can inherit it. This matter must be supervised by the prime minister, and there must be no sloppiness. Let the people of the world know that the Han family must be investigated and rewarded. There is also Juyan, which is my Han family, the top priority in Hexi. The position of Captain Juyan is no longer appropriate, I am ready to promote Captain Juyan to General Juyan, the commander-in-chief of the Hexi military, is there any suitable candidate for the prime minister?

Hearing the Son of Heaven's inquiry, Huo Guang did not answer immediately. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Minister, if there is a candidate, it is appropriate." This person is Guanglu Doctor Chang Hui. The gains and losses of the land west of the river do not lie in the competition for one city and one pool. It is mainly the land of Hexi, and the people of my Han family are scarce in Hexi. And the war materials needed need to be transported in Chang'an. Therefore, Li Guangli, the general of the second division, fought for a long time without results. And this time, Captain Lai Dan was also attacked and killed because he was protecting the soldiers and civilians of the cantonment.

Therefore, Hexi must be supplemented by military affairs and civil affairs in order to turn the entire Hexi and even the Western Regions into a Chinese land. The minister recommended Chang Hui in the generals, and the ministers in the civil affairs recommended the squire Zheng Ji as the main and Gong Zhu as the auxiliary, and after speaking, he bowed to the ground and did not get up.

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Liu Xun didn't speak immediately. Chang Hui himself knew that in the previous life, the leading generals during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty held the Xiongnu tightly. In addition to Chang Hui's extremely high military talent, his personal experience is also enough for a heroic novel. Chang Hui, a native of Taiyuan County. When he was young, he was the deputy envoy of Su Wu to the Xiongnu, and was detained for 19 years because he secretly contacted the Xiongnu nobles to assassinate the then son Yu Wuwei. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty returned to China and was named Guanglu Doctor. Sent an envoy to Wusun, defeated the Xiongnu, and was named the Marquis of Changluo. Chang Hui killed the Guizi nobleman Guyi who killed the Han envoy, and then became a vassal state. Later, he replaced Zhao Chongguo as the right general, and died when Emperor Yuan died, and he was nicknamed Zhuangwu Marquis. The history is known as "Ming Xi foreign affairs, hard work and meritorious".

And Zheng Ji, who will be an auditor, joined the army as a soldier and counted out the Western Regions. Ren Shilang, led the soldiers to plow the Tuntian canal, because of the meritorious service of the soldiers of the Western Regions to attack the chariot division, promoted to guard Sima, and made the southwest road of Shanshan. The Xiongnu chased the king and the sages of Shan to return more than 10,000 people to the Han Dynasty, and 50,000 people from Zheng Jifa and Qiuzi countries welcomed him down. The Huns' servants were all dismissed. Zheng Ji was the Marquis of Anyuan because of his merits, and the Han Dynasty protected the Western Regions, governed Wulei City, and ruled the Western Regions. Zheng Ji was appointed as the first protector of the Western Regions, so Zheng Ji was evaluated in the Book of Han and said: "The order of the Han Dynasty is the order of the Western Regions, which began with Zhang Qian and became Zheng Ji." After his death, he was given the nickname Miao Hou.

And the real disagreement is about the appointment of Gong Zhu, this Lang Zhongling is Huo Guang's close friend who once favored Huo Guang. The Han people have revenge and revenge, and if they have kindness, they will repay their kindness, and they have a clear distinction between love and hate. That's why Huo Guang pleaded for Gong Zhu, and let him make meritorious service to pardon Gong Zhu's guilt. Gong Zhu himself has already been thunderous, and in the history books of later generations, Gong Zhu has been highly evaluated. Praise for the famous minister. But what really embarrassed Liu Xun was that he was a courtier of the deposed emperor Liu He.

The implication of Huo Guang's words was to remind Liu Xun how to deal with Liu He. Whether it is to kill or chop, there must be an explanation to the people of the world, throw this hot potato directly in front of you, and figure it out. Liu Xuncai said: Prime Minister, what you said is well considered. Just follow it! However, it is not appropriate to have counties in the land west of the river. In the name of the Metropolitan Protectorate, Zheng Ji is the Protector of the Western Regions, and Gong Zhu is the Governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate Shi in charge of civil affairs and builds the Yaluntai. Chang Hui was the general of Juyan, in charge of the Hexi military, and set up a tent in Juyan to control the Wuhuan Captain's Department and the Huqiang Captain's Department. Pham Minh Huu was promoted to the general of Liao, and cleaned up the Shengqiang in the Liangzhou area to make preliminary preparations for the military and civilian reclamation. And the king of Changyi, this uncle of mine, is absurd and unfilial to his ancestors, and he must not be punished. Abolish the Changyi country and degrade it to the Marquis of Haidu.

Originally, Liu He should have been cut to the roots. But Emperor Xiaowu is in the same vein, and the heirs wither too quickly. If you don't rebel and be killed, you will die with pleasure. You have to consider the opinions of the people of the world, and you don't have to lose if you kill Liu He. It's better to be relegated to the sea dusk, and you can also let the people of the world see your own mind. What's more, the Empress Dowager Shangguan has always let herself save Liu He's life, which can be regarded as selling the Empress Dowager's favor.

Liu Xun rubbed his eyes tiredly, seeing that it was already midnight outside. I finally understood why Qin Shi Huang had gray temples when he was over forty, and he couldn't stand such a high-intensity work. Looking at Huo Guang, who was over half a hundred years old, Liu Xun couldn't bear it. As soon as he wanted to end the palace meeting, he thought of Du Yannian's invitation after he was neutral at the banquet. After thinking about it, he continued: Prime Minister, the servant proposed to be established. I think so. Who does the prime minister think can be the queen?

Hearing the question of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang said calmly with a calm face: Mencius Yun: Big husband, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world. None of them are indispensable, the wife is virtuous, the family is prosperous, and the virtuous are prosperous. A virtuous and virtuous person must be selected to be in charge of the harem, to serve the Queen Mother day and night for Her Majesty, and to present gifts to your ancestors. His Majesty's wife, Xu, is unparalleled in talent and appearance, and she is virtuous and filial. The minister thinks that he should be the master of the pepper house, but his father Xu Guanghan has been charged by the palace and should not be the marquis immediately.
