Chapter 80: Open Fight and Secret Fight

Huang Xie looked ahead, looking at Huo Guang who was surrounded and protected by people who was walking towards him, Huang Xie did not hesitate to greet him immediately, and after bowing to salute, Huang Xie guided Huo Guang towards the Ganquan Palace.

Huo Guang looked at the scenery in the Ganquan Palace as he walked, let Huang Xie lead the way, and when he came to a corner, Huo Guang suddenly said: "Zhongchang Servant, some of my old friends in the palace are gone?" Does Nakatsu know where these people have gone? ”

Hearing Huo Guang's question, Huang Xie also stopped and turned to look at Huo Guang, and said with a calm and gentle face: "Dare to ask the prime minister, are they all those friends?" There are a large number of waiters, eunuchs, palace maids, and musicians in the palace, and if there is an accurate name, the slave and maid can also help the prime minister find it!! ”

If Huang Xie is not soft or hard, the scene immediately cooled down, Huo Guang looked directly at Huang Xie, and the anger in his eyes made the entourage beside him tremble, but Huang Xie just maintained his original posture, neither humble nor arrogant, and lowered his head slightly, as if he was waiting for the order of the prime minister of the dynasty.

For a while, Huo Guang and Huang Xie were waiting for each other's mouths, and this silent contest was about who was more patient.

Time was passing bit by bit, Huo Guang was still looking at Huang Xie expressionlessly, and the entourage guards beside him didn't dare to make a sound and panting, for fear of making a little noise and leading the war to him.

"It is said that clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as the old, my old friends, I also ask the servants to be merciful, don't kill them all!!" Huo Guang looked away and said.

Hearing Huo Guang's instructions, Huang Xie calmly said: "Well, the slaves and maids must take good care of the prime minister's old friends, and they must be allowed to enjoy their wealth and prosperity!! ”

After speaking, he set off again and guided Huo Guang to continue to move forward.

The wind continues to flow in the Ganquan Palace, the coolness of autumn has hit, the cold air on the grassland has also taken away the cool tropics of summer, the Son of Heaven will return to Beijing with the Queen Mother in a few days, the maids and eunuchs in the Ganquan Palace have begun to get busy, seeing Huang Xie Huoguang and his party, they have come forward to salute, and then continue to be busy with the work at hand, after a few passages, this came to the front of the main hall.

Captain Hu Jian and the new Fengche Captain Shi Gao were guarding in front of the main hall, and when they saw the arrival of Prime Minister Huo Guang and his party, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Meet Prime Minister, I have seen Huang Gong!! ”

Huo Guang smiled slightly, nodded to them and said, "You guys have worked hard!! ”

Huang Xie also returned the salute with Huo Guang, and then walked into the main hall to report to the Son of Heaven.

After a while, Huang Xie appeared in front of Huo Guang again and bowed down and said: "Prime Minister Huo, Your Majesty invites the Prime Minister to enter the palace to discuss and narrate state affairs, the Imperial Doctor Wei and the Shaofu Order Chen Ming Mansion have arrived, Your Majesty has reviewed the information such as conscription and taxation before, and the Prime Minister asks for !!."

The prime minister of the Han family, under one person, above ten thousand people, and even theoretically the queen is ranked behind the prime minister, so Huo Guang has the right to know all the details about the Son of Heaven, even including the privacy of where the Son of Heaven spent the night last night.

Therefore, Emperor Xiaowu, who regained his rights, desperately suppressed the rights of the prime minister, and even replaced the outer dynasty with the inner court, directly turning the prime minister into an ornament.

But in the later period of Emperor Wu, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che found that there was no prime minister as a shield, and the public opinion of the world criticized Emperor Xiaowu, so Emperor Xiaowu returned the right to the prime minister, and made the prime minister a buffer zone between the Son of Heaven and the ministers and the people, so that even if there was a problem with the policy, it would be better to dump the blame on the prime minister, and would not let the people of the world think that the Son of Heaven was a lone husband and a thief.

Huo Guang followed Huang Xie to the main hall, and saluted Liu Xun above the main hall: "Minister, meet Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xun saw Huo Guang and said with a smile on his face: "Huang Xie quickly helped the prime minister to get up and sit down, the prime minister is an old minister of the three dynasties, Emperor Xiaowu, and the first emperor are all quite relied on, and I still need the prime minister's assistance!! ”

Hearing the praise of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang bowed again and said: "The minister does not dare to give His Majesty such praise, the old minister is just a madman's words, just Emperor Xiaowu, the first emperor does not think the minister is despicable, when the minister is at the end of the name, His Majesty trusts and does not give up, and the Han family Qianjun is entrusted to the minister, and the minister only has the liver and brain, and there is nothing else to repay!!! ”

Liu Xun heard Huo Guang's loyal and courageous words, but smiled and did not continue to answer and praise each other, but asked Huang Xie to help Huo Guang sit on his lower right position.

After seeing Huo Guang sit firmly, Liu Xun continued to speak: "I, it has been a hundred days since I ascended the throne, Emperor Lai's Ze was the world, and the four seas were leveled, except for the southeast floods, the counties and countries in the world are still stable, but the southeast floods are everywhere, although I have sent the ruling Jinwu, Yushi Zhongcheng, and Tingwei to govern together, but today's lessons must not be ignored!! Since ancient times, agriculture is the foundation of the country, I have heard that farmers have the heart of not farming, all of you Aiqing are the country's ministers, most of them are through the experience of the county, when I solve this problem, now the ministers are discussed, if there is a good policy, I will not hesitate to reward!! ”

Originally, Liu Xun's idea was to directly distribute the plan he had just thought of to Huo Guang and other courtiers, but after seeing Huo Guang arrive, Liu Xun changed his mind.

Because in politics you can't go straight, it is equivalent to politically showing your intentions directly to others, which will allow people to figure out your thinking, once your ideas are easily grasped, then your every step is extremely dangerous, a seasoned politician will always cover up his intentions and goals, and complete the deal when others can't figure out their intentions.

As soon as Liu Xun's words fell, Huo Shan, the servant, said: "Your Majesty, when the merchants are rampant and oppress the farmers in ignorance, the minister thinks that a law should be enacted, like Li Kuiping's law, to protect the farmers from being troubled by it!! ”

Imperial historian Wei Xiang also said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that today's agricultural affairs are busy, but there is a shortage of agricultural officials, resulting in a decline in the yield per mu!! ”

After expressing their opinions one after another, everyone saw that the Son of Heaven still did not make it clear, and they all set their eyes on Huo Guang.

Huo Guang noticed the expression of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang, as a human spirit, knew that the Son of Heaven had an idea at a glance and said loudly: "The old minister thinks that the books of the ministers are all the best choices, but they are all temporary choices, and the symptoms are not cured!! ”

"I, I received it a few days ago, Han Qing has a good book, and I still have merit in looking at it, so I convened the ministers today to see if this book is feasible!!" Liu Xun sat on the top seat and said: "Han Qing is going to set up a warehouse in the big city of Duyi, and purchase surplus grain and cloth from farmers at the price of Pingjia!! ”

Hearing the plan of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang and everyone here began to think about the feasibility of this plan!!

Liu Xun looked at the people in the main hall, and also thought about his whimsical plan, in history, Liu Xun relied on the plan of Yicang to lay the foundation of the masses, so that the people of the world praised each other, Liu Xun also reviewed the entire historical process of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the previous life.

Now it is possible to carry out this plan in the name of the southeast flood, but unlike the Yicang of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in history, Liu Xun himself added the function of purchasing grain and cloth, which is also a very important part of Liu Xun's reform plan for forced labor.

Purchasing grain and cloth from peasant households and allowing them to exchange them for five baht coins or vouchers to offset the payment of taxes such as oral and even more taxation can also prevent local powerful landlords from maliciously lowering grain prices, and also allow the monetization reform of forced labor to continue.

The reason is that the output of copper in Dahan is very scarce, and the Shaofu of the known large copper mine is organizing convicts to mine, and the private Shaofu has also desperately recycled the old coins and re-minted new money to ensure the circulation of currency in the Dahan Dynasty.
