"Oh? The envoy sent by the court lieutenant?. (Pingnan Romance) "Huo Guang said to a small official in the Huaixian Pavilion Station, now that seven days have passed since he returned from Xiuwu, Huo Guang has no movement to attack Xiuwu again, but today Yang Ke sent an envoy to Hanoi County to tell him is coming.

The envoy was only temporarily appointed by the Tingwei Mansion, although these people also held small official positions of a few hundred stones, but these identities were nothing in front of Huo Guang, so the envoy who came to Hanoi County took the initiative to visit Huo Guang for the first time. Speaking of which, the envoy who was sent to Hanoi County was also unlucky, not only was the situation in Hanoi County unstable, but even Huo Guang didn't care about the edict, and the envoys from other counties were too guarded and welcome, but Hanoi felt down.

Soon, a middle-aged man in his thirties was introduced to the room where Huo Guang was, which was also a room specially set aside for Huo Guang by the pavilion recently. At this moment, Huo Guang was looking at a bamboo slip in his hand, and he didn't even notice that someone came in.

And the little official who led the way didn't know how, and after he led the people in, he didn't say a word, and gently withdrew. At this moment, he left the envoy who was sent by Yang Ke to stand in the room at a loss, and now he wanted to make a noise but was afraid of disturbing Huo Guang, but Huo Guang obviously ignored him when he didn't make a sound, which made this person feel extremely embarrassed.

Time passed little by little, and Huo Guang seemed to be completely immersed in the book. Until now, I don't know how this envoy is, this is obviously Huo Guang's intention to embarrass himself. But he knew that Huo Guang was deliberately making things difficult, and this person couldn't do anything, let alone dare to do anything, even if his legs were sore, this person didn't dare to make any big moves, he could only move his feet slightly, and he didn't dare to make too much movement.

"Why are you impatient?" Just when the envoy was about to lose his support and everyone began to stagger, Huo Guang suddenly put down the book in his hand and said with a gloomy face.

"The lower officials don't dare! Xiaguan Wu Fang was an envoy sent by the Tingwei Mansion. I've seen Anyangjun! Huo Guang didn't speak loudly, but with the increasing power, there was already an invisible majesty on his body. Frightened, this envoy named Wu Fang hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully.

"Tell the envoy? Was it sealed by His Majesty? Huo Guang asked casually, Wu Fang had already said just now that he was sent by the Tingwei Mansion. However, Huo Guang still deliberately asked if it was sealed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"This ...... Back to Anyangjun. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" told the envoy that it was not sealed by His Majesty. This is only a temporary position created by the Imperial Governor's Office. Wu was relieved, but said helplessly.

"It turned out that it wasn't sealed by His Majesty? Hehe, do you still think that you are all messengers of the Son of Heaven? Since you are a subordinate of Lord Tingwei, this gentleman will not embarrass you. Aren't you going to supervise the prosecution? From tomorrow onwards, let's go to each prefecture to find out the situation. Today, the northern part of Hanoi is occupied by bandits. You can't go. Let's go to the nearest state and county first! Huo Guang suddenly said with a soothing expression, and also got up to help Wu Fang, although Huo Guang directly arranged Wu Fang's itinerary, but this move still made Wu relieved slightly.

"Thank you, the lower officials are all arranged by the king. I'll go to the state and county tomorrow. Wu Fang could only lower his posture, since he was arranged to Hanoi, he didn't think about making any merits, he just wanted to go back safely. Although the state and county are not county governance, they are under the control of the imperial court, although Wu Fang does not understand why Huo Guang wants him to go to the state and county, but he does not have any room for bargaining.

Not long after, Wu Fang finally left Huo Guang, which made him breathe a sigh of relief after going out. It doesn't matter if he goes to the state or county, Wu Fang feels that as long as he doesn't go anywhere under Huo Guang's nose. When I think of what happened to me in Hanoi, it is completely different from other envoys. Wu was depressed in his heart, which of the other envoys was not fragrant and spicy, and there were also the benefits of filial piety in each county, and he was still worried about what benefits he had, thinking about it, Wu Fang directly transferred his hatred to Huo Guang.

After Wu let go, Huo Guang didn't continue to read any books. He was also pretending, so he called a small official and said, "Go and call Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian." ”

Li Ling was sent to Yi County by Huo Guang, and now Huo Guang is talking to Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian about anything, although he doesn't know anything, he can be regarded as Huo Guang's henchman. However, if you don't know how to have courage or strategy, you can charge into battle. Let him give advice, and you can just ignore it.

It didn't take long for Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian to come to Huo Guang, but this time Huo Guang not only retreated, but also let Lao Qi and Lao Ba stay outside the door, it seems that Huo Guang and Dongfang Shuo Du Yannian discussed something very important.

"Ben Jun has already met the envoy sent by Yang Ke just now, you both know my attitude towards the edict, right?" Huo Guang opened his mouth and went straight to the point, his attitude towards the order did not hide Dongfang Shuo and others, and there were even rumors in the court that Huo Guang opposed the order. However, in the past, because Huo Guang's status was not high after all, his attitude did not affect too many people, but now some people with a heart have also begun to pay attention to his attitude.

"Subordinates and others understand!" Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian said at the same time.

"Well, we've been in Hanoi for more than a month, how much control do you have over Hanoi?" Huo Guang asked Dongfang Shuo again, this time instead of continuing the previous topic, but asked Dongfang Shuo, the acting Taishou, about the strength of his control over the counties of Hanoi County.

Dongfang Shuo, Huo Guang's henchmen, was accustomed to his jumping thinking and questioning style, and he didn't show much surprise at this, but just thought for a moment and replied: "Except for the county magistrate of Huaixian County, before we came, the county magistrates of the rest of the counties were all recently appointed, and these people are all looking forward to the king, as long as the king gives an order, they will not obey!" ”

Huo Guang nodded with satisfaction, not only because of Dongfang Shuo's answer, but also because of Dongfang Shuo's attitude. Because when it comes to the long-term loyalty of the county commanders, Dongfang Shuo is not saying how much control he has over these people, but how loyal these county commanders are to Huo Guang.

"Are state and county orders reliable?" Huo Guang continued to ask.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, this person is absolutely reliable. Chen Wei, the state and county commander, has repeatedly shown his loyalty in front of his subordinates, but in fact, it is difficult for these people to be disloyal, because they can be appointed or even executed at any time with a single sentence. Dongfang Shuo hurriedly said. In fact, this is also the benefit of the Hanoi turmoil to Huo Guang.

"I have already asked Wu Fang to go to the state and county first, let Chen Wei take Wu Fang, and remember that this gentleman must have ironclad evidence. This Wu will be of great use in the future, and he will be taken to Huaixian County immediately after he is taken. Huo Guang said in a deep voice, but his ironclad sentence was profound.

"Subordinates understood!" Dongfang Shuo nodded hurriedly and said, he and Huo Guang already had a tacit understanding of cooperation, and in a few words, Dongfang Shuo had completely understood Huo Guang's intentions.

"What's the most important thing, what do you think?" Huo Guang moved on to another topic. However, he only said the beginning, but did not say the specifics.

Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian looked solemn when they heard this, but the two of them didn't ask much, but continued to look at Huo Guang. At this time, Huo Guang nodded to the two of them, and then stretched out his right index finger to dip some tea in the tea bowl, and then used the tea on his index finger to write a few words on the desk.

Not many words. There are only four. Everybody knows. In such a safe environment, Huo Guang didn't directly say these four words, which shows how important these four words are.

Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian both leaned forward, and their faces changed when they first saw these four words. But then it returned to normal, and then they all looked pensive, obviously thinking about the four words written by Huo Guang.

Huo Guang saw that the two of them began to think, so he reached out and touched the four words. When the four words on the desk completely turned into a puddle of tea, Huo Guangcai continued: "I guess you have all been curious. Why I haven't moved a little these days, that's the real reason. Although Bai Zheng has some ability, it doesn't mean that he can't do it, it's just that the chaos in Hanoi must make us have to return to Chang'an, and now the order is at a critical juncture, I don't want to go back at this time. In addition, if we leave Hanoi too early, it will be difficult for us to completely control Hanoi in the future. ”

"It is not impossible for the king to build Hanoi as a foundation. However, his subordinates thought that Hanoi County was the land of Gyeonggi after all. Isn't it a bit out of place? This time, Du Yannian spoke first.

"Hehe, it seems that Brother Yannian has misunderstood what I mean. I, Huo Guang, am not a person who wields power, and I will be loyal to the society in this life. However, it is not bad for you to say that Hanoi is the foundation, but this foundation is to give the later people a promotion level. Take Mr. Dongfang as an example, if he has been an official in the DPRK. After 10 or 20 years, what position does he think he can hold? And my original intention was that after the chaos in Hanoi was calmed down, I would write to Your Majesty. Please Feng Dongfang as the Governor of Hanoi, and Li Ling as the Governor of Hanoi. Huo Guang understood that Du Yannian had misunderstood what he meant. They thought that they had a counter-intention, but in fact, Huo Guang wanted to control Hanoi, and he really just wanted to give the officials of his faction a stage for promotion.

This idea is actually Huo Guang's inspiration from later generations. In later generations, if an official wants to enter the central decision-making level, he needs the work experience of a provincial head, and once this chief takes office, his province is a political faction, and this faction will last for a long time, Huo Guang wants to control Hanoi County, not to say that Hanoi is based on doing anything rebellious, but to make the entire Hanoi County officialdom his own political faction sphere of influence, and in the future, Hanoi County will be the place where his subordinates have been trained and promoted, and the officials who go out from here, whether he admits it or not, Those are all people from Huo Guang's family, and in fact, once Hanoi County becomes Huo Guang's sphere of influence, it will be difficult for others to meddle in the affairs here, even if the emperor sends other people to be Taishou, it will be hollowed out by the entire Hanoi officialdom. And with Huo Guang's current identity, he can also start to establish his own power!

"The gentleman's foresight and subordinates admire him, and we must take care of the Hanoi County in an orderly manner." Dongfang Shuo hurriedly said, at first, he and Du Yannian were indeed a little worried that Huo Guang had some idea of rebellion, but after Huo Guang said this, the two of them were immediately relieved, and Huo Guang's plan made both of them see a bright future. Indeed, as Huo Guang said, an official like Dongfang Shuo, if he has no opportunity to be an official until he dies, he can only be a middle-level gangster, and once he has a county as the foundation, plus the powerful ministers with a big background in the court as the backer, such a political force can already have a large number of high-level officials in the court.
