Chapter 63 The road is narrow
"South Vietnam...... What do you think South Vietnam should take? "Emperor Wu of Han is getting happier and happier now, and he can't help but go deeper into the topic. Originally, he should not discuss these topics with officials of Huo Guang's level, and officials like Qianshi are not qualified to discuss such issues involving national policy with the emperor.
"The minister thought that he should first send an eloquent person to South Vietnam, so that he could understand it and induce it to take advantage. It would be great if South Vietnam could surrender on this, and if not, it would be great if it could take the opportunity to investigate the reality of South Vietnam and prepare for the dispatch of troops! Huo Guang thought for a while and said, his idea was not surprising, but it was decent, whether it was in the past or in the future, it was usually such a procedure when dealing with this kind of thing.
"Well, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. It's not too early, so let's eat with me at noon! In fact, the conversation with Huo Guang also touched Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, for this kind of national policy issue, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still needs to discuss with the courtiers, and as for his own ideas, it is impossible to tell Huo Guang.
Huo Guang breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, judging from the expression of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his performance still made him very satisfied, at least it showed that he had passed this level today. And with this good impression, it will be much easier to get along with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future, because people's first impression is very important, and once the first impression is established, it will be difficult to change it later.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often left important ministers to eat together, but Huo Guang didn't expect that he would be able to win this honor for the first time. If he had a choice, Huo Guang would rather never eat with Emperor Wu of Han in the future, because Huo Guang not only didn't eat much during the whole process, but even sat on pins and needles all the time. Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not particular about eating, and this meal did not last long.
I don't know if it was because the conversation in the morning made Emperor Wu of Han happy, or for some other reason, after the meal, Emperor Wu of Han actually offered to hunt again in the afternoon. Then he summoned a courtier, and this time Emperor Wu of Han also specified that Huo Guang should accompany him. This signal from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the courtiers understand that Huo Guang was truly appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This time the hunt went very smoothly, and Emperor Wu of Han also successfully shot a wild boar, this person made Emperor Wu of Han very happy, and even took his ministers to bombard. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found that Huo Guang was not able to draw a bow, and encouraged Huo Guang to practice the bow and horse diligently in the future.
This small move made the entourage even more envious, Huo Guang naturally hurriedly responded, and even Huo Quzhi felt that his face had increased, and he said on the side that he would strictly urge Huo Guang in the future.
In the evening, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a very interesting banquet for the ministers, and the things he ate were hunted by the ministers when they hunted in the afternoon, which was also a practice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in fact, in this era, meat was also considered a luxury for the ruling class, because it was recorded in the history books that the annual New Year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would also distribute meat as a welfare for officials, which shows that meat can not be eaten at any time.
This banquet was naturally staggered and the atmosphere was harmonious, but in the middle of the banquet, suddenly a chamberlain walked up to Emperor Wu of Han and whispered something in his ear. Emperor Wu of Han nodded slightly, and then after a while, he stood up and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so you can disperse later!" ”
It seems that the chamberlain said something important to Emperor Wu of Han just now, otherwise Emperor Wu of Han would not have left halfway at this time, but Emperor Wu of Han would not have swept away the interest of the other courtiers, let the ministers continue, and disperse later. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left in a hurry after saying this, and some of the courtiers who stayed behind were still eating, drinking, and chatting with great interest, and some of them lost interest and got up and left.
"Ah Guang, let's go back too, tell me what His Majesty told you today?" As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left, Huo Qubing had no intention of continuing, so he called Huo Guang to leave together. In fact, he had been holding back for an afternoon, and he was also very curious about the conversation between Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Guang summoned Huo Guang alone.
As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty walked away, Huo Guang and Huo Qubing also walked out. The two had just walked not far away, and they saw a group of people coming towards them on the road, because it was night, they couldn't see the faces of the people who came, and the number of people who could see clearly should be four.
It was normal to meet other people in Ganquan Palace, and Huo Quzhi and Huo Guang didn't care much about it, and still walked forward. Huo Guang unintentionally glanced at the person on the other side, although he didn't see it clearly, but Huo Guang always felt that one of these four people made him feel familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Seeing that two people walking opposite each other are about to come together, this road is not too wide, so when several people meet, one of them will inevitably need to make way for the other. However, Huo Qubing relied on his identity, and still walked forward, in this Ganquan Palace, except for Emperor Huo Quai, there was really no need to make way for anyone.
The four people on the opposite side walked in a hurry, but when they approached Huo Quai's two people, the person who walked in front of the four seemed to see Huo Quai's appearance, and quickly stopped, subconsciously let go of the side, and then stood beside him, and at the same time said: "I've seen the hussar general." ”
Huo Guang stood behind Huo Quai, and when he got close at this time, he saw that the person who spoke should be a close attendant next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Huo Guang was no stranger to this kind of clothing. Huo Quzhi just glanced at this person, and continued to walk forward without saying anything.
The three people behind the attendant also followed his example and stood on the side of the road, and when they heard the words of the attendant, they also learned to say: "I have seen the hussar general" The three of them were a little nervous, and they seemed to be people who did not often enter the palace, Huo Guang estimated that these three people may have been temporarily summoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Huh...... It's him......" Huo Guang took two steps, and his gaze fell on the last person. At this moment, Huo Guang saw this person's face clearly, and finally understood why he had a feeling of déjà vu just now, because this last person was none other than Sang Hongyang, who Huo Guang wanted to get rid of.
"Ah...... Huo ...... "Sang Hongyang was also shocked when he saw Huo Guang, he subconsciously wanted to call out Huo Guang's name, but as soon as he remembered that this was in Ganquan Palace, his expression changed, as if he didn't know Huo Guang.
Huo Guang didn't show much obvious expression, just glanced at Sang Hongyang and moved his gaze to the other two beside him. Huo Guang found that the two people next to Sang Hongyang were a few years older than Sang Hongyang, and they should be almost forty, although these two people have a good temperament, but they do not have the temperament of ordinary courtiers who have been in a high position for a long time, and Huo Guang can't guess what the identity of these two people is.
After a few steps, Huo Guang also missed these people, and then the chamberlain continued to lead the three of them towards the palace, seeing that direction should be where Emperor Wu of Han was.
"Brother, do you know who those people are just now? Is His Majesty going to summon them? Your Majesty summoned you so late, so what's the matter? Huo Guang was very curious about who the two people who were with Sang Hongyang were, and he was even more curious about what Emperor Wu of Han had for recruiting these people.
The sudden appearance of Sang Hong Yang made Huo Guang feel very bad, because it showed that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also fell in love with Sang Hong Yang at this time, if he served as the Chang'an Order, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also began to use Sang Hong Yang, then everything is no different from the development in history, and the two stood at the same height!
"Those two older people seem to be the big salt merchant Dong Guo Xianyang and the big iron merchant Kong Wei, both of them are famous rich businessmen in the Han Dynasty, and the latter person has never seen a brother. I guess they are here to report to His Majesty on the salt and iron affairs of the government in various places! A few years ago, His Majesty had sent these two people to various counties to set up salt and iron official institutions, and the order to transfer the management of salt and iron from Shaofu to Da Nong was implemented by His Majesty after listening to the advice of these two people. Huo Quzhi is very familiar with the government and politics, although these salt and iron things are not within his jurisdiction, but he knows something about this kind of things involving national policies and policies, and he has also met Dongguo Xianyang and Kong Wei.
"That seems to be the case...... In history, it seems that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty returned the salt and iron to the state, he began to use Sanghong sheep, it seems that this time His Majesty wants these three people to rectify the economy, and it seems that Sanghong sheep will also be reused. This guy is really hard to clean up! Huo Guang knew that Sang Hong Yang was about to be enabled by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and once Sang Hong Yang was activated, it would mean that he would be on the rise, because Huo Guang could not deny that Sang Hong Yang was indeed talented, at least his economic policy was useful to the current economy of the Han Dynasty, and it was also deeply liked by Emperor Wu of Han.
"I know that person, he is Sang Hongyang!" Huo Guang said with a slight sigh, Huo Qubing had only heard the name of Sang Hongyang, but the difference between the identities of the two was too big, and Huo Qubing had never seen Sang Hongyang.
"He's Sang Hongyang? It seems that this person is not easy to deal with, and now that His Majesty is going to reuse these people, it is really unwise to deal with him at this time. Huo Quzhi also stopped when he heard this, and paused before speaking. Huo Qubing is clearer than Huo Guang sees the stakes, Huo Qubing can shoot Li Kang with one arrow, that is because Li Dang is dispensable in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but since Sang Hongyang was summoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this time, and he was summoned halfway through the banquet, it shows that Sang Hongyang is of great use in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This is also the bottom line of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he can indulge and pamper Huo Quai, but Huo Quai's illness can't touch his bottom line, otherwise he won't be able to get along with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
For those who are courtiers, they can't get along with the emperor if they can't get along with anyone, this is a matter of principle, and it is also the way to stand!
"Don't worry, brother, I can wait!" Huo Guang didn't say much, just said in an indifferent tone.
Hearing Huo Guang say such words, Huo Quzhi was also very relieved. This made Huo Quzhi feel that Huo Guang was a person who really did great things, because in the face of his enemies, he could be calm and forbearing, which was very rare, and this was exactly what it was necessary for those who achieved great things.
