Three days have passed since Huo Quai's army was stationed in the suburbs of Chang'an. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" And Shi Yizong also comes once a day, sometimes even several times a day, but none of the other officials of the DPRK and China appeared. And Huo Qubing was recruited into the palace by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on the first night of the army's stationing.

Huo Qubing came back from the palace and got the exact news, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty told the Taimiao that the day of rewarding the three armies was set for March 19, that is, tomorrow. And the sacrifice to the Taimiao, and the reward process, 50,000 troops must all be present, including Huo Guang. Today is destined to be an extremely busy day.

After all, tomorrow will be reviewed and rewarded by the emperor, for these soldiers are both excited and nervous, excited to get the emperor's reward, and after the reward, each soldier has up to three months of vacation, this is naturally the day to return home. And what is nervous is to see His Majesty the Emperor and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, although these soldiers are all out of the sea of corpses and blood, but they are still afraid that they will make trouble.

"Huo Shizhong, this is a new dress for the soldiers, and these wine and meat are prepared for the soldiers by the Inner History Mansion, but please ask Huo Shizhong to tell the soldiers that tomorrow is a big day, and you must not drink too much and make a mistake!" When the sun set, Yizong came to Huo Quai's camp with hundreds of carriages, and it was Huo Guang who handed over to Yizong.

In the past few days, the expenditure of nearly 50,000 troops has been borne by the Inner History Mansion, and Huo Guang has also dealt with Yizong several times. is different from what he imagined, Huo Guang found that although Yizong was a cool official in history, he was indeed a 'cadre', and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. And it's not difficult to get along with this person, but it's quite harmonious, and I have a little more affection for Yizong Huoguang.

"It's really a matter of worrying about Lord Lao You's Inner History, these days the big army has been fully arranged by Lord Neishi, and it's really embarrassing to let the Inner History Mansion break the bill tonight. This matter was definitely conveyed to Hou Ye, and at the same time, on behalf of the officers and men of the whole army, he thanked Lord Neishi! Huo Guang hurriedly thanked Yizong. Because he knew that the wine and meat tonight were not original, it was obvious that Yi Zong used the money of the Inner History Mansion to pay for tens of thousands of troops, and this favor was not small. And in the past few days, Huo Guang also knew another thing, that is, Zhuang Qingzhai, who was the history of Zuo Neishi at the time, was also the young master of the crown prince, and he often accompanied the prince. In addition, Zhuang Qingzhai is a hereditary Marquis of Wuqiang, and his status is quite high, and he generally does not ask about the affairs of the Inner History Mansion, and the daily affairs are controlled by the Right Inner Shiyi. It also formed the internal history of the house, and the internal history of the left is like a temporary post, and the actual controller is righteous.

"Huo Shizhong is serious, you and I will be ministers in the same hall in the future, why do you need to thank you for these little things!" Yi Zong is now in his forties, and he looks like a poor Confucian.

"Hehe, since Lord Neishi said so, then I won't say any more polite words, now there are many things in the army, and it will visit the lord in the house every day." Huo Guang knew that the main reason why Yizong was so polite to himself was because of Huo Qu's illness. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although these cool officials made many people fearful, even Zhang Tang didn't dare to treat Huo Quai, let alone a righteous indulgence?

And although Yizong is already a high-ranking official like Right Neishi, who doesn't want the more power as possible? This court has always been intertwined with partisan forces, and there are not a few people who have offended for many years, and he is also anxious to find a big force as a backer, and the only one who can accept himself is the military forces that have nothing to do with him, and the biggest force in the army is undoubtedly Wei Huo's relatives.

"Brother, this Yizong has already revealed some attachment meaning. I don't know what brother means? After Yizong left, Huo Guang truthfully told Huo Qubing the details of his conversation with Yizong. To be honest, Huo Guang has no experience in dealing with these power struggles and power entanglements, and if Huo Guang is asked to decide whether he really knows whether he should accept Yizong or not, it will be difficult for him to distinguish the gains and losses of accepting Yizong and rejecting Yizong with his current knowledge and vision.

"Why do you think Yi Zong did this?" Huo Quzhi did not answer Huo Guang directly, but asked Huo Guang instead.

"The little brother is foolish, Yizong is not a stupid person, on the contrary, this person is thoughtful, he must also know that he has offended too much over the years, and it will be difficult to die well one day, so he is eager to find a force that can protect him. Other officials in the DPRK and China have already had a gap with him, and I am afraid that they will not accept him. Relying solely on His Majesty is to tie comfort to personal preference, and in case His Majesty does not use him again one day, he needs someone who can speak for him in front of His Majesty. And the elder brother is the person Yizong wants to find. As for the gains and losses, the little brother can't see it yet! Huo Guang said everything he could think of, and it was indeed as he said, with his current status, he really couldn't see the gains and losses. First of all, he was taken refuge by Younai Shi, who controlled the important land of Gyeonggi, and this was undoubtedly a decisive force. But the same acceptance of Yizong is equivalent to turning those enemies who are enemies of Yizong into his own enemies, which is also a force that should not be underestimated, and the pros and cons of it are really not something that Huo Guang can judge now.

"You think about half of it, and you don't think about it. But that's a lot of money. With Huo Guang's performance, Huo Qu's illness unconsciously demanded more from him, but when I thought that Huo Guang had just turned fourteen years old now, this was already very good!

"Please also ask my brother to make it clear!" The advantages of Huo Guang's character are once again revealed, that is, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he is modest.

"Yizong's ambition is not small, what you said is just one of the two birds that kill one stone with one stone, and there is another bird that directly refers to the 'Han Bing Temple'." Huo Quzhi also shows maturity that does not match his age, and Huo Quzhi is only in his twenties. Sometimes Huo Guang is suspicious that this Huo Qu's illness is too demonic, completely overshadowing himself as a traverser.

Huo Quzhi's finger pointed in the direction of Chang'an, Huo Guang knew that the place he was pointing to should be Tai**, and the Han Bingdian in Huo Guang's mouth just now was actually the place where the prince lived. Because the Western Han Dynasty did not have the East Palace to refer to the prince, the place where the prince lived during this period was directly called Tai**. It is composed of a hall containing C, a view and a painting hall.

Huo Guang also reacted at this moment, this Wei Huo's cousin represented by Huo Quai, and he was also the most staunch and powerful supporter of the prince. At the same time, Yizong also wants to be appreciated by the prince through this relationship, and if he is appreciated by the emperor and the prince at the same time, it is difficult for such a person to be undeveloped.

"As for the gains and losses, it's even simpler. What do you think of my uncle's status in the DPRK and China now? Huo Quzhi saw that Huo Guang had understood, so he threw out another question.

"My brother and uncle are naturally unmatched in the court, and the special brother returned to the court with a great victory in the Battle of Mobei this time, and it is destined to be unmatched in the court." Huo Guang didn't have to think much about this problem, it was all obvious.

"Yes, if that's already the case, why bother to set up another batch of unnecessary enemies for one person? I don't think Your Majesty wants to see the power of the ministers of the DPRK and China too large, right? Huo Quzhi finally broke through the last key, and as soon as these words came out, Huo Guang suddenly felt enlightened.

At this time, Huo Guang also had to admit that his vision was still too narrow, and the right internal history was indeed high and powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but when it came to Huo Quzhi's current status, it became dispensable, and Huo Guang understood that Huo Quzhi's last sentence was the point. Wei Huo's relatives can have today, in fact, they can't do without Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it is said that everything is given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and if you want to maintain your current power, you have to always consider the feelings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

For a strong emperor, who can give you everything, he can also take everything back. At this moment, Huo Guang finally found how he should deal with himself in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future, in fact, it was this that made him finally reach the peak of his life and reach the extreme of a minister.

"Little brother understands!" Huo Guang replied clearly, he not only understood the mystery in this matter, but also understood how to do it in the future.

"Well, your identity is special, and in the eyes of others, you actually represent a brother. People like Yizong should not get too close in the future, but they should not deliberately make enemies. Didn't Mencius have a saying, 'Left and right come together'? Although this statement is derogatory, it is also the way to be a minister. ”

"Hehe, that's what my brother said. I don't think my brother only knows how to march and fight, and how many of the hundreds of officials in the court know that my brother is actually very knowledgeable! Huo Guang also said teasingly, but it wasn't exactly ridiculous. Huo Qubing even knew Mencius's words, and he was not the kind of reckless man who only knew how to march and fight in this era. And the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China are probably confused by the appearance of Huo Quai, no one knows that the real Huo Qubing is actually resourceful, and even the image he left to future generations is just a general with great military achievements.

"You kid......" Huo Qu didn't know what to say about Huo Guang for a while, but looking at Huo Guang's performance and growth, he was extremely satisfied in his heart.

"By the way, brother, the day before yesterday, His Majesty summoned you to the palace, there must be a reward for the day, right? I don't know what kind of reward His Majesty gave my brother this time? Huo Guang was also very curious about tomorrow's events, and couldn't help but want to know in advance through Huo Quai.

"Your Majesty has restored an official position, taking the name of Xiazhi's 'Great Sima', as the head of the military attaché, and is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Tomorrow my uncle and I will be appointed as the Great Sima. Huo Qubing didn't hide anything, but a simple sentence was the highlight of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tomorrow.

"Da Sima...... Your Majesty, this is laying the groundwork for the establishment of the Inner Dynasty. As soon as Huo Guang heard the three words of Da Sima, he immediately understood that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was making final preparations for the establishment of the Inner Dynasty. Because the highest official in charge of the world's soldiers and horses was Taiwei, and Taiwei was one of the three princes in the early Han Dynasty, and the three dukes were the leaders of foreign dynasties. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty placed Da Sima only crowned, it was already obvious that he was depriving the Taiwei of his rights.

As a result, what seemed to be a heavy reward hall was actually just an important foreshadowing for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to complete the reform. As for whether it is a feudal marquis or not, I am afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not really related, because there are hundreds of marquis of the Han Dynasty, and a few more Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty do not care, but a great Sima can allow him to complete the most important step in the formation of the inner dynasty, and then completely weaken the threat of Xiangquan to the imperial power. This is the real calculation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

Huo Guang also realized once again that the court was calculating everywhere, down to the Shengdou officials, to the two thousand stone high-ranking officials like Yizong, and finally even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was calculating all the time!
