In any case, Situ Yangci's funeral was extremely glorious, and the scene was extremely grand. When it was time to be buried, Emperor Ling ordered the imperial Shi to hold the funeral, and Lantai ordered Shi Shi to send Yulin knights and light chariot agents, and played propaganda before and after, and ordered the hussar general's subordinates and Sikong honor guards to be buried to the cemetery, and the ministers and below attended the funeral.

Just after the funeral, Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, granted Guo Bin's request to meet him, called him over and reprimanded him severely, which can be called bloody. However, even so, Zhang Rang, who has always been jealous of Guo Bin, did not dare to blow up in front of him, and after the audience was over, he personally led the way and respectfully sent Guo Bin out of the palace gate.

You must know that Guo Bin's actions after leaving Beijing can be called bold. The matter of going north to the three cities outside the Saiwai has long been reported to the Son of Heaven, so it is not a trivial matter for the time being, but it is not a trivial matter to go south to Jiaozhou. As the county guard of Yingchuan, Guo Bin has the responsibility to guard the land, and now that the remnants of the Yellow Turban are raging in the Central Plains, the burden of the head of a place is not light, even if Yingchuan is effective in exterminating the Yellow Turban Army, it is rare to see bandits and grass invaders in the territory, but the law of the country is the law of the country after all.

But regardless of this for the time being, Guo Bin's most daring thing was that he dared to lead someone to take the king of Linyi to Luoyang. Fortunately, the people of Linyi are poor, if Guo Bin dares to lead the army to provoke the Huns or Xianbei people in the border areas, it will be a big crime, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a provocation.

Fortunately, Guo Bin did things beautifully, you must know what a glorious thing it is to capture the lord of a country and sacrifice it in front of His Majesty. Don't say that Guo Bin, the little Yingchuan county guard, is Liu Hong, the son of heaven, because this matter also has to be sued to the Taimiao. It's too showy, in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, except for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who has this ability, it is indeed rare for the Son of Heaven to have such "great achievements". And Guo Bin didn't throw the mess to Jiaozhou without causing trouble, patted his ass and walked away, how could he hide the fact that he sent He Man to lead the army south?

Every time in the last years of the dynasty, most of the things are not very serious, Guo Bin did this, if it was placed in the Han Gaozu or the Guangwu Emperor Dynasty, it was impossible to say that he would be dismissed from his post and go to the official, and even whether his life could be saved, but now it is just a reprimand. asked Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, to put this matter down, to a large extent, thanks to the blessing of transporting sugarcane from Jiaozhou to the north.

When Liu Hong heard that Guo Bin had found a new way to do business, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart: "This Guo Qianyang is really a good material for doing business, and he doesn't lose the nickname of that good money boy." But after the exclamation, he naturally began to think about Guo Bin's income from transporting sugarcane again. Guo Bin also knew Liu Hong very well, so he pretended to be extremely difficult and said: "Weichen knows that he can't hide it from His Majesty, this sugarcane is shipped all the way from Lingnan to Yingchuan, although there is no tax card, but after all, it is a business." In this way, 100,000 yuan is paid every year as a tax to and from various places, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Liu Hong was thinking about how to get wool from Guo Bin, and when he heard Guo Bin open his mouth, he was first happy, and then surprised, but he snorted coldly without changing his face, and said: "Hmph, you kid is so calculating!" 500,000 yuan a year, no one is missing! ”

When he boarded, Guo Bin's face was full of black ash, and he said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, it is not easy for small households and small businesses to earn some money for the elderly, so it is easy for you to start!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Hong couldn't help but smile, and then straightened his face and said: "You kid don't give me this set, my words are Jinkou Yuyan, since I said it, where is the reason to take it back?" He saw that Guo Bin was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he couldn't bear it, so he continued: "This 500,000 yuan a year is not only a tax on this trade route, but also a royal approval for you to build a manor on Xiangshan Island. ”

Liu Hong is the Son of Heaven, so it is really a last resort to make money like this. Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just been pacified, bandits and bandits of all sizes have emerged again, coupled with the rebellion of the Qiang people in the northwest, Beigong Boyu and others led tens of thousands of cavalry to enter Kou Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs, and invaded the garden mausoleum. Although the Son of Heaven sent the left cavalry general Huangfu Song and the Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo to conquer, they were not defeated, and the strength of the rebel army was further expanded, with 100,000 people, and the world was in turmoil. For a time, the Han world, which was originally "singing and dancing", and a scene of "prosperity", seemed to be full of mouths.

There are a lot of places where the imperial court wants to use money, but Liu Hong has no money left in his hands, fortunately, Guo Bin has given him many ideas to make money such as the expo, Liu Hong still has a little family background, but after the Yellow Turban Army stirred up, there is not much left. Therefore, Liu Hong, who had gone to great lengths to raise military funds in the northwest, once again turned his attention to selling official positions. Now that Guo Bin is hitting the muzzle of the gun, Liu Hong still doesn't give him a ball of powder? Guo Bin can make money, which is famous in the world, of course he will not be polite.

Seeing this, Guo Bin secretly said that if he didn't take advantage of the fact that he was getting more benefits now, he wouldn't be able to get it, so he bargained with Liu Hong: "That is the case, then Weichen will admit it." It's just that this road is wandering around, and there is no foothold, which is really dangerous, so please build a manor on Yizhou Island for transit. ”

At this time, Liu Hong's atmosphere as the Son of Heaven was reflected, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's all right." You yourself send someone to find a place, and if you find a suitable one, you can build a manor, and I will approve it. ”

Yizhou Island is located in the middle of nowhere, most of them are local natives, and the Han Dynasty has never sent officials to it, so Liu Hong naturally doesn't care about it.

Guo Bin was overjoyed, and then said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, seeing that it is almost noon today, Weichen has entered the palace to wait for His Majesty to see him, and now he is hungry. Hey, I don't know what the delicacies in this palace are like. ”

Seeing him like this, Liu Hong's face couldn't stand anymore, he almost laughed out loud with a snort, and pointed at Guo Bin and said, "You kid, you know how to be a fool." That's it, I'm going to be generous today. Then he turned his head to Zhang Rang, who was standing beside him, and said, "Tell me to go down, I will give a banquet today, and bring Guo Qing's family a bowl of corn porridge." As he spoke, he glanced at Guo Bin.

It's not that Guo Bin intends to show his ugliness, he entered Beijing this time, and it is important to participate in Yang Ci's funeral, and it is also a big deal to put Xiangshan Island and this offshore trade route from south to north in front of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and to do business justifiably and legally from now on, otherwise the fleet will have to go through such a long-distance transportation, and it is necessary to open up the officialdom along the way.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Guo Bin is an out-and-out emperor in the eyes of the world, so it is necessary for him to confess this matter to Liu Hong. Moreover, when he was angry, he invaded the capital of Linyi and captured Fan Xiong, the king of Linyi, was indeed bold enough, and he also needed Liu Hong's understanding on this matter. Therefore, when Liu Hong scolded himself to the point of blood, Guo Bin's heart fell to the ground.

It's not that he is cheap, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable being scolded by others, but Liu Hongken scolds him, which shows that today's Son of Heaven still treats him as his own. People's hearts are so wonderful, always show the most polite and polite self to strangers, if a leader does not regard you as his own person, speak naturally politely. Don't say that Liu Honggui is the Son of Heaven, rich all over the world, and has the right to live and kill to seize it, he will jump out of this law. Even if it is the Son of Heaven, after a long period of contact, he is no different from ordinary people, and he is naturally the high-ranking Ninety-Five in front of outsiders.

In the final analysis, the Son of Heaven is just playing the balance set. Take Liu Hong as an example, the relationship between relatives, eunuchs, and wealthy families needs to be balanced; The relationship between the wealthy families of the Central Plains and the wealthy families of the Northwest needs to be balanced; In addition to these, the relationship between the inner and outer dynasties needs to be balanced; The relationship between the various ministers of the DPRK and China needs to be balanced; There is also a need to balance the appointment of county wardens in each region. What is Imperial Mind? It's just a balancing act. Only when there are contradictions between the various departments and ministers under him, but they dare not bring it to the table and say that they must work together to do a good job, is what the superior likes to see the most.

The people below only know intrigue, struggle, and rectification all day long, but no one does serious work, which is certainly not allowed. But if the people under his command have a harmonious relationship, a harmonious atmosphere, and collude, then the superior will only be blinded. Of course, there are also light and heavy among them, and ordinary people are just that, if the prime minister and the general with heavy troops get together, the position of the Son of Heaven will be obedient.

Therefore, when he heard that Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, came up, he scolded himself for being bloody, and Guo Bin's bones seemed to be lighter, he knew that this time was in the past, which was also the reason why Zhang Rang did not dare to blow up Guo Bin's hair.

Zhang Rang has been working in the court since he was a teenager, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was the Xiaohuangmen, and when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were promoted to the rank of Zhongchang and were named the princes. It can be said that he has served the Son of Heaven for two generations, and he is like a human spirit! After being in the palace for a long time, it is certainly one thing to be able to carry things clearly, but understanding the preferences of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and finding out his temper is the foundation of obtaining the holy favor.

Liu Honggui is the Son of Heaven, how could he ever talk so tabooly to a county guard? Moreover, the county guards have always been upright and gentlemen, so how could they have talked to the Son of Heaven about doing business? Even if they know how to do business, no one dares to be so disrespectful in front of Liu Hong! is just one Guo Bin, since he was received by the Son of Heaven for the first time in Beijing, the two have a very happy conversation, and Guo Bin even gave the Son of Heaven an idea to hold a commodity expo. Nowadays, this expo is getting bigger and bigger, with an annual income of nearly 10 million yuan, which is a great wealth even in Liu Hong's opinion! Cui Lie spent five million to buy a seat for Situ through Mrs. Cheng, which caused an uproar in the world and continued to scold; But this expo, not only businessmen from all over the world rushed to come, but also the DPRK and China were also full of praise. Among them, you can see at a glance, no wonder the Son of Heaven values Guo Bin so much.

Seeing that Liu Hong actually opened his mouth to train Guo Bin to a bloody head, although Zhang Rang's heart was also very happy, he didn't dare to really take it in front of Guo Bin, after all, even if he was the Son of Heaven, Liu Hong just scolded him verbally. In the eyes of Liu Hong and even Zhang Rang, what is the little Lin Yiguo?
