Chapter 165: Secret Conversation
After the end of the court meeting, at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seeing a letter signed by the doctor of the final army, and there were not many images of the name of the final army, and he tried to recall it before he remembered that a handsome and heroic young man.
Since childhood, the final army has been famous in the county for its eloquence and beautiful writing. An article on the table is also written with a sprinkled heart, it is easy to attract the attention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feels a little excited after reading the whole article, seeing the last sentence written by the final army, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also put his hand on the desk and said: "A good one is willing to receive the long tassel, and he will be bound by the king of Nanyue."
"Your Majesty, I want to see you." At this time, the chamberlain informed Shang Qiu Cheng to meet him.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty estimated that Shangqiu Chengcheng was selected for the envoy to Nanyue, and if Shangqiu Cheng had come half a moment earlier, Emperor Wu of Han would still want to hear about his candidate, but now Emperor Wu of Han has a candidate in his heart.
"Announce him in." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still announced Shang Qiu Cheng, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a candidate, but if Shang Qiu Cheng's candidate could, he could be a deputy envoy candidate.
"Your Majesty." Shangqiu Cheng pilgrimage road.
"You take a look at this first." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly ordered the chamberlain next to him to pass the final army's upper table to Shang Qiucheng.
Shang Qiucheng was indeed selected for the envoy of South Vietnam, and he didn't expect that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would give him such a hand first, so he could only take a serious look.
"I think the final army can be used, what do you think?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty estimated that Shang Qiucheng was about to finish reading, so he said directly, which can be regarded as a clear statement that he wants to serve as the envoy of the final army.
Originally, Shang Qiucheng's selected people also had a final army, because there are really not many candidates who can send envoys now, but in Shang Qiucheng's final army, he is a deputy envoy. But now that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has decided on the candidate, Shang Qiucheng had no choice but to reply: "The minister also thinks so." ”
"Is there a candidate for the deputy envoy?" Emperor Wu of Han continued to ask.
"There is a candidate here. Your Majesty is please. "Shangqiu Chengcheng is here for this matter, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has set a candidate, Shangqiu Chengcheng intends to let his designated candidate be the deputy envoy.
"Who? Let's hear it. Emperor Wu of Han asked casually.
"This person's name is An Guo Shaoji, and he is currently a pedestrian of Honglu Temple. In addition, this person was familiar with the current Queen of Nanyue in his early years. Shang Qiucheng hurriedly said. The pedestrians of Honglu Temple are not very high official positions. Shang Qiucheng took a fancy to the relationship between An Guo Shaoji and the queen of Nanyue, the Hui family in her early years.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't know anything about An Guo Shaoji, and he didn't know what kind of friendship the Hu family had with him. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought about it carefully and seemed to remember that when Zhao Yingqi was a hostage in Chang'an, he did marry a Handan woman, and it is estimated that it is this Xu's family. In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also knew that it was said that Zhao Yingqi was indeed not in good health now, and part of the power of Nanyue had fallen into the hands of the Queen Hui clan. As for what kind of friendship these two people have, Emperor Wu of Han doesn't care.
"That being the case. Then arrange Anguo Shaoji to be the deputy envoy. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty settled the matter, and only waited for the official summoning of the final army to send an envoy to South Vietnam.
At this moment, Huo Guang also received important information sent by Lu Shu about the South Yue Kingdom in the past six months. Looking at it this time, Huo Guang really felt that the situation in Nanyue was much more complicated than he thought. He finally understood why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a hurry to solve the problem of Nanyue during this time, because it did involve some problems that had to be solved. At the same time, Huo Guang also understood that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty must also have his own secret intelligence system.
Through intelligence, Huo Guang knew that there were actually two political forces in Nanyue, one was naturally the royal power represented by the Zhao family, the king of Nanyue, and the other was the indigenous forces of Nanyue headed by Prime Minister Lu Jia. This Lu Jia was originally the chief of the indigenous tribes of South Vietnam, and later became a South Vietnamese official, and now he has become the prime minister of the two dynasties, and he is a real power leaning towards the government and the opposition. Even this person has a very high prestige among the people of South Vietnam, but this person is an anti-Han faction and wants to fight against the Han Dynasty.
Of course, if it was just like this, Emperor Wu of Han would not be so urgent, another important reason is that Zhao Yingqi is really dying. And Zhao Yingqi and Queen Zhu are really inclined to the Han, so not long ago, Zhao Yingqi abolished the crown prince of Zhao Jiande, the eldest son born to a Nanyue woman, and renamed Zhao Xing, who was born with Queen Xu, as the crown prince.
The more Huo Guang looked at it, the more frightened he became, maybe one day as soon as Zhao Yingqi died, Lu Jia would abolish Zhao Xing and support Zhao Jiande to ascend the throne, and then there would be only one way to send troops to attack South Vietnam. And what Huo Guang thought was exactly what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought of, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was anxious to take Nanyue smoothly before Zhao Yingqi died.
Just as Huo Guang guessed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very anxious about this matter, and he officially summoned the final army in the afternoon, and the monarch and the ministers talked directly for nearly an hour before it ended.
Huo Guang didn't go anywhere at night, and he didn't go out after returning home from Jingzhao Yin Yamen.
At the moment, he is having dinner with Li Yanzhuo Wenjun and others in the backyard, since returning from Hanoi, Huo Guang has been eating with his relatives at home almost every night, for Huo Guang, these times are worth cherishing, he doesn't want to one day for these people in front of him, he can only exist in his thoughts like his brother.
"Your Majesty, there is a man who claims to be the final army outside the door and asks to see him, and he says that he has an appointment with you." After a subordinate whispered a few words in Zhen Youcai's ear, Zhen Youcai said to Huo Guang.
"Oh, if you have the money, go to the side hall to prepare a wine and dish, Mrs. and Auntie, you eat first, I can't accompany you." Huo Guang got up as he commanded, and said apologetically to Li Yan and Zhuo Wenjun.
"Husband, don't worry about us, go get busy." Li Yan knew that Huo Guang would not invite someone to the house for no reason, so she said understandingly.
The final army was led to a side hall by his subordinates, and at this moment he was a little apprehensive and a little happy. Zhongjun felt that he had never been so comfortable in his life as he was today. first went to Yanyue Tower, and was inexplicably warmly welcomed in, and then Qin Su, who had been thinking about it for a long time, invited himself to the room for a while. Next, the final army somehow swore an alliance with Qin Sushan, and then Qin Su even told him that he had redeemed himself and would only belong to him in the future.
It can be said that happiness came too quickly and too suddenly, and the final army thought that he was dreaming, but finally figured out that all this was arranged by Huo Guang. Even Huo Guang even set up a property for them in the name of Qin Su. At this time, the final army really gave birth to an urge to die for the confidant.
But all this is not over, just when the final army has not fully recovered from its senses, another palace attendant came to pass the decree that the emperor urgently summoned him.
The number of meetings between the final army and Emperor Wu of Han can be counted, and there is not a single summons. But this time, Emperor Wu of Han not only summoned him alone. I also have a lot of praise for myself. The topic of conversation between the two for nearly an hour was on South Vietnam. In the end, Zhongjun was sent out of Weiyang Palace in a daze, and his first thought at this time was to come to see Huo Guang.
Huo Guang has not yet appeared. There are already servants and maidservants who put the food and wine on the table. Only then did the final army remember that Huo Guang said in the morning that he would practice it for himself, but he had just come out of the Yang Palace, how could Huo Guang be sure that he could go to South Vietnam?
Soon Huo Guang's figure appeared outside the door, and the final army did not wait for Huo Guang to come in. hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "The final army will meet the king." ”
Huo Guang hurriedly stepped forward in two steps to help the final army, at this moment, the final army, whether it was his own name or his name for Huo Guang, had completely changed, and his heart had been fully revealed. He called himself the final army, and no longer called himself a subordinate official and his own official position, but also directly called Huo Guang the king.
"No need to be polite, come and sit. Have you already met Your Majesty? Huo Guang said as he pulled the final army to sit down. The words are like old friends who have known each other for many years.
Huo Guang's actions moved Zhongjun even more, and the identities of the two were very different. Huo Guang was so unscrupulous, which made the final army flattered. At the same time, he said to Huo Guang that he had seen the emperor, and he admired it even more.
"I just came out of the palace, and I came to the king. The final army has no way to repay me, but the king has the grace of knowing me. Please accept my bows. Zhongjun Zhengse said, then straightened his clothes, and raised his hands above his head to worship Huo Guang. Huo Guang didn't shirk or say anything, just smiled and accepted it calmly.
"Okay, don't be so polite in the future, eat something first. By the way, tell me, what was the tone set by His Majesty in South Vietnam on this mission? Huo Guang said with a smile, feeling like the two of them were chatting.
The final army was not pretentious, and after picking up a piece of meat and eating a few bites, he said: "Your Majesty has four bottom lines, one of which is that the king of Nanyue must enter Beijing to worship once every three years. The second is to revoke the border that intersects with the Han Dynasty. Third, the Nanyue Kingdom must use the law of the Great Han. Fourth, the official positions of the prime minister, internal history, lieutenant, and taifu of South Vietnam must be given the official seal by the Han Dynasty. ”
Huo Guangyi heard that this request of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not much different from what he thought, if the Nanyue Kingdom could really do this, it would be basically no different from the internal vassal states.
"If this mission is successful, you will go down in history. However, there are some things I have to tell you about the country of South Vietnam. Huo Guang was very worried about whether the final army could complete the mission this time, all he could do was to let the final army know the complexity of the situation as much as possible, and pay more attention when the time comes.
In fact, he can't remember whether there was a Han envoy to Nanyue Huo Guang in the original history, he only vaguely remembered that in the end, it was the Han Dynasty that swept the South Vietnam with the army. If this is the case, then the final army's mission this time will undoubtedly be a failure, but since Huo Guang has done so much, he will naturally not back down, and can only continue the arrangement step by step.
Huo Guang clarified the internal situation in South Vietnam one by one, and analyzed many invisible interests, and after these words, the final army was also frowning, and the ambition at the beginning became cautious.
"Although the future is bumpy, but this matter is not impossible, when will you leave?" Although Huo Guang knew the benefits, he still encouraged the final army.
"Your Majesty ordered me to set off in three days, and the deputy envoy is Anguo Shaoji." Junjun replied truthfully.
"Well, tomorrow you can take this letter to the city to find the Lu Clan's trading house, they will provide you with some unexpected help, even in the South Vietnam country has their industry, in case of accidents, you can also ask them for help, you will be safe." Huo Guang solemnly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the final army.
The final army was a little surprised by the result, and asked in disbelief: "Is it the big businessman Lu Shu?" ”
"Exactly." Huo Guang just said two words simply. Lu Shu's name can already be said to be famous all over the world, in just two years, although he is not the richest man in the Han Dynasty, he is also one of the few wealthy businessmen. However, the relationship between Lu Shu and Huo Guang is known by themselves and Zhen Youcai, and there is no fourth person in the world who knows about it.
And the final army was only surprised that Huo Guang actually had something to do with Lu Shu, and it seemed that this relationship was not shallow. If the real relationship is known, I am afraid that the world will be surprised, but Huo Guang knows that if Emperor Wu of Han knows, it will definitely not be of any benefit to him.
