Chapter 81: The Hidden Reward
"This ...... With His Majesty here, what is there to say about the concubines! Madame Wang hesitated for a moment, and then said with some resentment. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa
Huo Guang also had to admire Mrs. Wang's scheming when he heard this, this kind of answer obviously meant that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had treated Liu Hong badly, and let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decide for himself, which had the meaning of complaining about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and had the taste of making Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty compensate. Huo Guang estimated that Mrs. Wang dared to say this, maybe Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had also said something like giving preferential treatment to Liu Hong between the beds, of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's original intention may have been just simple preferential treatment, but Mrs. Wang mistakenly thought that this preferential treatment was to be crowned the crown prince.
"That being said, but as far as your wishes are concerned, what do you want him to be king?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also a single, he knows that even if he is the emperor, he can't change it, and the sons of Liu Hong must be sealed, and the only thing he can do is the arrangement of the fief.
Mrs. Wang sighed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The concubine hopes for Luoyang" (Note: Luoyang is the later Luoyang)
"Huh? Luoyang ...... "The chopsticks in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were stunned, and he was obviously a little hesitant.
At this time, Huo Guang buried his head as much as he could, and he didn't eat much, so he hurriedly picked up another piece of vegetable and fed it to his mouth. At this time, Huo Guang had fully understood the intentions of Emperor Wu of Han, and sure enough, he was really betrayed by Emperor Wu of Han!
"This place...... Huo Guang, are you going to see the king of this place in Luoyang? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put his chopsticks on the lacquerware plate, turned his head and asked Huo Guang.
"This ...... Good...... It's good ......" Huo Guang wanted to scold Emperor Wu of Han in his heart, but he could only pretend to be thinking, and he had to organize his language after hesitation.
Huo Guang actually wanted to say that it is really good to be crowned king in Luoyang, there is no better place in the whole Han Dynasty than to be crowned king in Luoyang, but the king here is equivalent to creating a powerful prince who may rebel at any time for the central government, if you want to say that it is really good, it is estimated that there is no prince who does not want to be sealed in Luoyang, but you can't refuse your wife, can you use me as a shield?
It can also be seen from here that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does know enough about Mrs. Wang, and it is estimated that he had already guessed that Mrs. Wang would want this place, so Huo Guangcai was arrested as a shield, and I have to say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did damage this trick.
"Good is good, so why hesitate?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pretended to be angry and said, Huo Guang could feel it, this was obviously pretended by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and sure enough, everyone who was the emperor was an actor.
At this time, Mrs. Wang also looked at Huo Guang with an unkind face, Luoyang is an important town in the world, a big city second only to Chang'an, she naturally hopes that Liu Hong will be sealed here, and say something unpleasant, even if it is to seize the world by force in the future, this is also the best strategic place. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
Huo Guang's expression froze, then he stood up and took a few steps back, bowed heavily to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then hesitated for a moment or bowed to Mrs. Wang, and then said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is the metropolis second only to Chang'an, and there are arsenals and Aocang, which is the key place for the world, and has not been crowned a king here since Gaozu, if the country is sealed, Luoyang seems to be a little out of line with the ancestral system!" ”
Sure enough, as soon as Huo Guang finished speaking, Mrs. Wang's eyes were obviously more resentful, Huo Guang was undoubtedly telling Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that this place was not suitable for the king at all, of course, this was actually what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty meant, but it was not good for him to refuse Mrs. Wang in person, so he found Huo Guang as a shield. But Mrs. Wang wouldn't think so, even if she could sense Emperor Wu of Han's intentions, but Huo Guang was the one who said this directly.
But then again, Huo Guang hates Mrs. Wang, but as a mother, Mrs. Wang is still very qualified, at least she is sparing no effort to fight for the maximum benefit of her son. Being able to choose this place in Luoyang shows that Mrs. Wang is indeed far-sighted and ambitious.
"This place in Luoyang is really not suitable, you can go anywhere else except Luoyang, choose another one!" Emperor Wu of Han said to Mrs. Wang with a smile, and there was a feeling of indebtedness to Mrs. Wang on his expression.
Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the most reluctant to seal any of his sons in Luoyang, because any mature emperor would not destroy the stability of the entire country because of emotional factors. Luoyang has one of the only two arsenals in the world, of which the armor and weapons are enough to arm an army of 100,000, and Aocang is the most important strategic granary of the Han Dynasty, after so many years of reserves, enough to support millions of people for three years of food, only these two have the strength to win the world, not to mention the huge population and commercial base of Luoyang.
Mrs. Wang glanced at Emperor Wu of Han weakly, it was impossible to have no complaints in her heart, and she didn't say anything more at this time, fighting for Luoyang was just her doing her best to obey the destiny of heaven, since Emperor Wu of Han didn't agree, then there was no need to say anything. I think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has already made arrangements.
Huo Guang also saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had obviously made arrangements for this, but this made Huo Guang even more unhappy, and complained to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, 'You want love between husband and wife, why do you pull a little person like me to sing blackface?' ’
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Mrs. Wang did not speak, and Emperor Wu of Han said by himself: "In this way, I think there is no bigger country in Kanto than Qi State, and Qi Country is east of the sea, the city is large, there are 100,000 households in Linzi, the capital of Qi, and the rent and tax can be increased every day, and there is no more fertile land in the world than Qi State." ”
"It's all up to Your Majesty!" Mrs. Wang didn't say anything this time, she recognized the matter of sealing Liu Hong and King Qi, and Mrs. Wang also knew that Qi was indeed very good, although it was inferior to Luoyang, but it was also a good place for first-class.
Huo Guang heard that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had given the State of Qi to Liu Hong, and he had to admire Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for being thoughtful. First of all, this Qi country is indeed as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, it is an extremely rich place, originally the Qi country also has a feudal country, that is, the feudal country of Liu Fei, the eldest son of Han Gaozu, but just eight years ago, the then king of Qi Liu Cichang because of his adultery with his sister, and offended the master father, this matter was held by the master father, and finally committed suicide in fear of sin, and the Qi country was removed.
There is no doubt about the wealth of the Qi State, and the sealing of the Qi State shows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is indeed very good to Liu Hong and Mrs. Wang, but at the same time, the Qi State is far away from Guanzhong, which is in line with the basic principle of dividing the country, that is, it is far away from the land of Gyeonggi. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also killed two birds with one stone.
"This matter still has to be discussed with the ministers in the court, so let's settle it for the time being!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't say it too much, but it shouldn't be a problem just to seal the king of Qi, after all, the state of Qi was also a feudal country, and basically the courtiers wouldn't say anything.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately stopped mentioning this matter, but Mrs. Wang was obviously in a bad mood because of this incident, and she said that she was not feeling well and retired without moving her chopsticks. Seeing Mrs. Wang's obvious actions, Huo Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the gap between Mrs. Wang and Wang Wan is indeed too big, everything is done so obviously, how can it be a big thing? Such a person is not suitable for the palace competition at all, and it is simply impossible for Liu Hong to have a mother like her as the crown prince. However, the Han Dynasty stipulated that after the kings entered the country, the biological mother would also go to the country as the queen mother, and Mrs. Wang did not have to continue to stay in Weiyang Palace, maybe it would be good for her to go to Qi to retire.
Huo Guang sat in a regular manner, and no longer moved his chopsticks, he thought to himself that his royal shield also played a role, and Mrs. Wang also left, at this time, Emperor Wu of Han should let himself go, right? Now Huo Guang is really a little sleepy, after all, he didn't sleep last night, and this morning he was scared with Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Guang had long wanted to cover his head and sleep.
Speaking of which, Huo Guang was really aggrieved today, he thought that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would reward him, but in fact, this was a meal of reward, but rather a punishment, so that Huo Guang did not exchange a little reward for many of his achievements, which made Huo Guang depressed in his heart.
Emperor Wu of Han continued to eat a little, then put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth. At this time, Huo Guang estimated that Emperor Wu of Han would let him go back, but when Emperor Wu of Han spoke again slowly, it was greatly beyond Huo Guang's expectations: "You all go down." ”
Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and said to several palace maids in the hall. Then these people bowed out, but Huo Guang found that the historian at the foot of the hall was still sitting, and the knife and pen in his hand were not directional.
"Is this the real thing?" The sudden change made Huo Guang's spirit forcibly lifted again.
"Among my many sons, only the crown prince and Hong'er are up to the task, but the prince is too benevolent and lacks the spirit of a king. Although Hong'er is talented and can take on great responsibilities, it is difficult for him to be self-disciplined. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty retreated from everyone and said such a thing to Huo Guang.
Huo Guang still can't figure out what the intentions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are, but there is one thing that Huo Guang agrees with, that is, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's view of the crown prince Liu Ju is very accurate, in fact, it is precisely because of Liu Ju's generous personality and Huairou's policy that there are obvious differences with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which makes the father and son disagree, leading to the final tragedy. I don't know anything about Liu Hong and Huo Guang, so I don't know what his ability and personality are.
"The prince is generous and benevolent, and the old ministers in the court praise the prince, and the people also know that the prince is virtuous, which is also the blessing of the society!" Huo Guang still had to say a few good words for the crown prince Liu.
"The prince has his own ministers to assist, I don't worry, but Hong'er is in the country, and I am not very relieved that there is no one available around me. If I asked you to do Qi Xiang, would you be willing? Emperor Wu of Han said a word, and immediately scared Huo Guang enough.
Huo Guang hurriedly got up and bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and only one thought came to his heart, that is, this was pure nonsense. He hurriedly said: "The minister is young and ignorant, how can he be up to such a heavy responsibility...... The minister has been in Chang'an for less than a month, and he has not done an inch, how can he govern a country? The minister is frightened, and he is willing to make some achievements in the Chang'an Order, and live up to His Majesty's kindness! ”
Huo Guang didn't know why Emperor Wu of Han would let him do Qi Xiang, no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible. You must know that the institution and rank of the kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty were not much different from the central court, and even if the prime minister of the kingdom was not as good as the prime minister of the imperial court, it was extremely noble. Under no circumstances, it was not Huo Guang's turn.
"Oh, since you don't want to, forget it. Remember your words, make some achievements in Chang'an Lingshang, go back and rest early! Huo Guang didn't react yet, Emperor Wu of Han suddenly ended the conversation, no matter how you look at it, I feel that Emperor Wu of Han's performance is abnormal, but this is somewhat in line with Emperor Wu of Han's style, at least this is not the first time Huo Guang has encountered Emperor Wu of Han like this.
"Retire!" Huo Guang retreated as if fleeing for his life. Walking out of the air outside Huo Guang's new airway in the Yilan Palace, he felt that his head was much clearer, but he still couldn't understand why Emperor Wu of Han said something like that in the end.
Waiting out of Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang felt a lot more relaxed, but at this time, the thick sleepiness also hit, Huo Guang hurriedly got on the horse and went back to the house to sleep first, just after Huo Guang got on the horse, he felt a heavy thing in his arms, and reached out to touch Huo Guang before he remembered that the tiger talisman that Emperor Wu of Han gave him had not yet handed in.
Huo Guang's first thought was that he was negligent, Jinhuadian forgot to hand it in when he saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but then Huo Guang's body was shocked, and he realized that he had forgotten to hand it in, but did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also forget to take back the tiger talisman? The tiger talisman can be said to be the lifeblood of the emperor, and if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also forgets something, it is unreasonable. Soon, a bold guess sprouted in Huo Guang's heart, could it be that this was the hidden reward of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for himself?
