Chapter 177: Benefits

The heavens and the earth are big, and the Son of Heaven is the biggest, since the Son of Heaven is said to be a child, then Han Zeng must and can only be a pure son who is not familiar with the world, but is full of sincerity.

For such a simple minister, if anyone hacks him, then his conscience must be broken, and he should go to the mausoleum of the ancestors, bear the guilt, and think about it!

So, Huo Shan had no choice but to say: "Shangshu makes Han Gong's heart pure, and the ministers are far inferior!" ”

"Then draw up an edict......" Liu inquired: "How difficult it is for the people of Hexi, I really have relatives and relatives, and I will be exempted from Hexi tax this year, and there will be no conscription in tomorrow!" ”

"Honorable Promise!" Huo Shan had no choice but to kowtow and bow again.

In his heart, Huo Shan had countless questions.

Because, he knows, this matter should be in charge of the cavalry general Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi is promoting, and Zhang Anshi is requesting.

Now, Han Zeng suddenly appeared and took the initiative to ask for advice.

If this matter is not agreed by Zhang Anshi, this is the overstepping, the dog takes the mouse!

It will make the Son of Heaven and the courtiers feel bad!

No one likes a guy who casually sticks his hand into territory that doesn't belong to him!

Especially on the altar, the power of rules and traditions is unimaginable!

In other words, as long as Han Zeng didn't have a bad brain, he swelled to the point that he thought he could single-handedly take on the whole world.

Then this matter must be agreed by Zhang Anshi.

Moreover, it is very likely that Zhang Anshi took the initiative to propose it.

So the question is, why did Zhang Anshi do this? What is its purpose?

Huo Shan didn't need to think too much to know - what was the purpose of Zhang Anshi's this?

"Zhang Anshi, it's really lucky......" Huo Shan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "In this way, he can find a way out!" ”

There is no doubt that the Son of Heaven has agreed to follow Han Zeng's suggestion to exempt Hexi from taxes this year and from forced labor and miscellaneous taxes in Hexi next year.

The subtext is naturally - the deal between the child and Zhang Anshi, I know it, and I have no opinion.

Otherwise, it is impossible for His Majesty to say those words, let alone deliberately use the word "child".

And the word "child" is so wonderful!

Just like back then, the hussar general Huo Qubing shot Li Kang.

Then Emperor Xiaowu said lightly, 'Hussar General Chen Huo went to be sick and young in vain, and I was really sad, but he was punished for his crime of treating Mo Nan, and he could not return to Beijing without an edict!' 'Same seconds.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

When the Li family heard this conclusion, they were afraid that all they could think was 'I bought a watch last year'.

Li Kang, the third-generation leader of the Li family in Longxi, the hope and future of the family.

was shot to death by an arrow, according to the Han law - the iron law of killing people to death, injuring people and stealing crimes, Huo Qu's illness should at least be a capital crime!

Even if its merits are high and contemporary, it has to be dealt with like this, even if it is the lowest standard, it should be atoneted by the marquis and feudal state of its champion, and demoted to three or five levels, from the permanent general back to the captain, even if it is a show, it has to be in Chang'an for half a year to have a chance to come back.

But......

Emperor Xiaowu said, "Huo Qu is sick and young in vain", and let it go lightly.

As for the treatment of Mo Nan, it is equivalent to telling the world nakedly - the hussar general who is not to be killed!

The subtext that you can't return to Beijing without an edict is that you can return to Beijing if you have an edict.

At that time, how confused the people of the world and the Li family were, Huo Shan believed that after this matter got out, the Minister of Chang'an would be so confused!

It's a pity, just like then, the current minister will be powerless about it!

The will of the Son of Heaven is the Heavenly Rule!

The Son of Heaven wants to let Zhang Anshi go, who can continue to fight with his head?

Not to mention, Zhang Anshi now has the endorsement of Han Zeng.

It can be expected that those students in Chang'an City, after knowing about this matter, may find various angles to wash Zhang Anshi's floor.

Perhaps, it can wash people white and tender, and turn it into an innocent white lotus!

Thinking of this, Huo Shan couldn't help but sigh again.

This man is more dead than others, and he has to lose more goods than goods!

Although he has a good personal relationship with Han Zeng, today's incident really makes it difficult for him not to be jealous, and it is difficult not to scold his mother!

He Huo Shan served the Son of Heaven on the same day as Han Zeng, and he worked hard, but he was not as good as Han Zengman's business trip!

Imperial Doctor Wei Xiang walked out of the palace gate and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it is now the season of cold winter and heavy snow, he still feels that his back underwear is wet.

But......

"Finally passed...... Wei Xiang lowered his head and sighed: "Although I am embarrassed, I have kept the position of the imperial doctor!" ”

As long as you are still a doctor, anything is possible.

Not to mention, he is also the first wave of three dukes selected by His Majesty on the throne, and he has a natural advantage!

Even if it can't be the same as in the past, at least it retains a lot of power.

It's just that......

"But I don't want to, it was Han Zeng who saved my life......" Wei Xiang looked ahead in silence, and the officials who were getting closer and closer had an indescribable taste in their hearts.

Saved by a once-imaginary political enemy?

Embarrassment, embarrassment, rejoicing......

There are also entanglements, resentment, and palpitations......

All kinds of emotions kept flashing, so that Wei Xiang didn't dare to look up at people.

"Imperial Doctor ......" came from the opposite side of the voice of Da Honglu Xu Li: "Are you facing the saint out of the palace?" What does Your Majesty have to say? ”

When Wei Xiang heard this, he raised his head, showed a wry smile, and said, "Da Honglu has known His Majesty's meaning since he went to face the saint......

Xu Li smiled, didn't speak again, took his subordinates, and walked straight forward.

And these people, when they passed by Wei Xiang's side, they all looked sideways and saluted Wei Xiangtou.

Countless pairs of eyes paused for a long time on Wei Xiang.

Curious, disdainful, sneering......

There are all kinds of looks in everyone's eyes.

Wei Xiang, who saw it, was furious, but he couldn't get out of it, so he could only hurriedly board the carriage and hurriedly get away from this place.

…………………………

"Our Imperial Doctor is really lucky......" On the wall of Jianzhang Palace, the ruling Jinwu Hu Jian teased: "This can keep the phase, since His Majesty ascended the throne, the first big defeat, the person who can keep the position of the Imperial Doctor!" ”

On Hu Jian's side, Huo Guang looked at Wei Xiang's carriage from afar, a trace of unnoticed disappointment appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he said easily: "Shuyun: The head of state is clear, and the humerus is good!" The Son of Heaven has his own arrangements, and we and other courtiers can only bow down to their orders......"

But in his tone, there was obvious dissatisfaction.

This is also normal!

The main altar of the Han family, the current two mountains, is suppressed to death

Space for up-and-comers.

This is the Huo family's party, and there is Zhang Anshi Group!

Don't look at Huo Guang's father and son are now in full swing, but the ebb and flow of the tide is a common thing.

The fundamental reason is that he holds great power, and there is the queen mother, and the queen is the Austrian aid, firmly controlling the prime minister's mansion, the imperial servant, and the alliance with Hu Jian and others, and most of the government and opposition forces are pressed to death.

If the rising star wants to develop and build power, he has to face the court that has been firmly controlled by him for more than 20 years.

And Zhang Anshi Group is even more exaggerated now!

It was located in the west of the river and controlled the foreign military activities of the empire.

In the court, a huge network of contacts has been established, occupying countless important positions.

However, others can only survive in the cracks.

Finally, when Zhang Anshi Group collapsed, he was preparing to make a big move and seize power.

The former little brother suddenly made a move and took a sip of Zhang Anshi.

And was milked alive!

From the wording of the edict of the Son of Heaven in the past few days, it can be seen that Zhang Anshi has been in danger nine times out of ten.

The most punishment may be three glasses of wine, not an example, face the wall and think about it, and save yourself three times.

And Zhang Anshi Group lost only Hexi and foreign power.

In the government and the opposition, it still controls countless important departments.

Among them is the Imperial Doctor's Palace, which is a very important institution!

If it was just that, Huo Guang wouldn't be angry.

After all, he was in power twenty years ago.

Zhang Anshi, after this incident, is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't be active for long.

For Huo Guang, the real trouble is that it was affected by the changes in Zhang Anshi's group and the reshuffle of the government and opposition forces.

Now, the comrades-in-arms who were once close to him have some intention of parting ways.

Especially the two people Taipu and Da Si Nong.

These two people, one is thinking about picking peaches, and wants to wait for the fall of Zhang Anshi Group to become the imperial doctor.

The other is thinking about building up his own power.

I don't want to leave the impression to the outside world that 'Da Si Nong and Huo Guang are close friends'.

This is the nature of human beings and the nature of things.

The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places.

Didn't you see that now even the younger brother Zhang Anshi has some of his own little abacus?

Therefore, it is understandable that Huo Guang and Hu Jian quietly came together.

Things on the altar are always so weird and foggy.

"General Che Cai has ten days to re-enter Loulan...... Hu Jian suddenly said: "Doesn't the prime minister have any ideas?" ”

"What thoughts?" Huo Guang asked confusedly.

"Ling's son-in-law is doing well in Lingju......" Hu Jian was not polite, and simply made it clear: "Although the new general is the protector of Liao, but after all, it is a loose title, right?" Why didn't the prime minister consider it and fight for one or two for his son-in-law? ”

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Today, the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate is already ready to fly, and once the Western Regions Protectorate is built, it will not be the only beauty in the world......"

"I'm afraid the preparations for the Protectorate of the Makunan Prefecture will also be on the agenda, right?"

"Ling's son-in-law is both civil and military, if the lieutenant is willing, he should be able to take the position of protector of the southern capital, right?"

Huo Guang listened, just smiled.

The first protector of the Munan Metropolitan Protectorate, his son-in-law Fan Minh You, is indeed capable and qualified to compete.

He is also one of the most likely candidates to win a position that is now crucial to the military, economic, and governance of the Empire.

After all, Fan Minh Woo has good potential, outstanding character, and has been in Lingju for several years, making meritorious contributions, and even the Son of Heaven has praised him.

Moreover, Pham Minh Woo also had a good personal relationship with that General Ying Yang.

He is one of the few young generals with whom he can have a good time!

If Fan Minh You wants to serve as the protector of the South of the Maknaku, the Ying Yang Department has nothing to say.

And if Ying Yang acquiesces or even agrees, then there will be no obstacles to this appointment.

It's just that......

Huo Guang looked at Hu Jian and asked, "Then according to Han Gong's opinion, who is the most suitable successor to the captain of Huqiang?" ”

As soon as this question came out, Hu Jian suddenly laughed and praised: "Prime Minister, he is really a contemporary handsome!" ”

"Dog Juan, Yunwen Yunwu, if Du Wei doesn't give up, I wish Mao Sui to recommend himself......" Hu Jian said directly without blushing and without a heartbeat.

Huo Guang listened and laughed, but he didn't answer.

General Huliao changed the southern capital of the curtain?

At first glance, it seems that he is making a lot of money!

Pity......

Who doesn't know now that the development of the river is something that the son is personally grasping today?

This is when the results are about to be made

And once this is the case, at that time, the court will share the credit, even if the captain of Huqiang is a pig, he will be able to share a lot of profits and get a lot of light.

Not to mention the side, just look at the civil officials who are currently being examined.

In the past, Chen Wannian, who was unknown in Chang'an, is now a well-known minister in the world.

In the past, Zhao Guo, who was just a small agricultural official in Yuyi, is now a capable official in the world, and a virtuous person praised by the scholars and the people.

As for the students, they have been plated with a large layer of gold in Guanzhong.

In just one year, other connections, relationships, and fame that take ten or twenty years to accumulate have been completed.

Any pavilion chief or township official, as long as he is willing, he will be a county lieutenant and a county magistrate when he goes out.

And the Qiangfu and Youfu in the townships of Guanzhong, and even the capable officials of the county government, if they are willing to agree to go to other counties, they will at least be county Sima and Zhubo!

That's it!

The key is that these people still have a layer of 'famous officials and officials' aura that other people desperately want but are difficult to obtain.

You can see how important a good name is!

It can be said that a good reputation is the key to becoming Jiuqing.

A person with a bad reputation will never be able to climb to the high position of Jiuqing no matter what.

Therefore, Hu Jian's intentions are already obvious.

How could Huo Guang be fooled?

However, Hu Jian did not give up, was cheeky, and continued: "Prime Minister, it's better to think about it......

"Munan, now it is no longer the desert land of the past, but a gold mountain and silver mine!"

"The wool, cashmere, cattle, horses, and livestock produced by it were imported into the inner county in just a few months, with a value of more than 100,000 yuan, and the cloth and silk, tea, salt and iron, medicinal herbs, and grain exported to the inner county in the south of the country, and the cumulative value of tens of thousands of ......."

"If the son-in-law is the protector of the south of the country, it will not take a few years for the commander to help him run the business, so that the captain can get a help!"

"You can even take the opportunity to get involved in military power and have influence in the military!"

"The court of the Han family, if there is no support from the military since Emperor Gao, it cannot be a prime minister! Although the prime minister is in full bloom, it should also be clear that the key ......"

Huo Guang listened, and his heart relaxed.

What Hu Jian said is indeed the truth!

Since the Han Dynasty, except for a few puppets who were supported by the Son of Heaven, the remaining powerful imperial historians are not military generals, heroes with outstanding military achievements, or capable ministers who have a close relationship with the military.

And now, with the accession of the Son of Heaven to the throne, the old power structure system has collapsed, and the new ministers are still in the bud.

As for Huo Guang, who is ambitious and wants to have his own stage in the future, he has already begun to plan the world after the death of the Son of Heaven and settle for it.

Obviously, in the future, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will gain a firm foothold.

Military power, especially the one that can speak for him, is crucial!

And what Hu Jian said does make sense!

With the flourishing trade of wool and livestock, Monan has gradually become an important part of the empire's territory.

Moreover, it continues to develop, and there is a potential for self-sufficiency!

The Ruohuo clan can control and control local resources and establish authority.

It's just that......

Huo Guang looked up at Hu Jian and asked, "Hu Gong is so hardworking, what is he trying to do?" ”

"Hu Wen is now the Taishou of Yanmen, and now he wants to use Juan as the general to protect Liao......"

"Ming Gong's plan is very big!"

Hu Jian listened and grinned: "How dare you compare with the prime minister's ambitions?" ”

"Say, I just want to keep this ancestral inheritance!"

Hu Wen is the Taishou of Yanmen, Juan is the general of Huliao, and his daughter Hu Weiyang is lucky enough to give the general who holds Jinwu Zhao a few grandchildren.

Then, the future status of the old * Hu family will be stable.

Perhaps, in the future, there may be a chance to spy on the position of the Imperial Doctor, if that General Yingyang does not want to enter the court.

And it's entirely possible.

At that time, the Hu family will be able to realize the great cause of opening the princes!

Just thinking about it, Hu Jian felt excited!

It's a pity that Huo Guang didn't believe Hu Jian's words at all.

Because, the examples of the past few decades have proven - the mouth of a politician is expensive to deceive!

Let's not talk about anything else.

So Jiang Chong, Su Wen and the Ma family brothers, as well as the Yang Shi Lord, how good was their relationship with Huo Guang in the past?

Especially Jiang Chong, legend has it that he and Huo Guang are still friends in the same bed, and it is said that they were once like glue.

Huo Guang even sent his beloved concubine to Jiang Chong to enjoy, just asking Jiang Chong to smile.

But what about now?

Jiang Chong, Su Wen, and the Ma brothers are afraid that their bones are rotten.

But Huo Guang turned around and became very good with Zhang Anshi, who he once hated.

The son has become a fan brother of others, and the daughter is sent to him to enjoy it!

How could Huo Guang believe Hu Jian?

He doesn't want to be sold by these guys!

However, it is not good to refuse directly, after all, Hu Jian is still very useful!

Not to mention, Guangluxun under his control is the most important institution in Chang'an City in the next few years.

Therefore, Huo Guang had no choice but to laugh lightly and said, "Duke Hu, please allow me to think about it......

Hu Jian said with a smile: "The prime minister thinks about it slowly, and a certain family is not in a hurry to ......"

In his heart, he was already sneering, and secretly said that Huo Guang was timid, and he didn't have the decisiveness to get sick at all!

……………………

Yumen Pass.

Han Zeng climbed to the top of this fortress and overlooked the Western Regions.

I saw the wind and snow all over the sky, and the wind howled.

He stretched out his hand, faced the wind and snow, and said to the left and right with great satisfaction: "Husband, it should be like this!" ”

Since Zhang Anshi is going to return to Loulan, this Hexi is his territory.

And with Hexi, the Western Regions is naturally in the bag.

Of course, now, the Western Regions can't eat it, and it can't be eaten.

You have to take your time, get things done on Hexi's side first, so that Hexi has the ability to be self-sufficient, in short, farming!

It doesn't take much time!

Three years is enough!

After three years of tuntian, after refining the internal strength, he could support the army to march into the Western Regions.
