Chapter 58: The Hunt
"Your Majesty asked me to be the Chang'an Order?" That night, Huo Quzhi knocked on Huo Guang's door and told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he had made the Chang'an Order. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
"Yin Qi has not yet taken up the post of governor of Guannei, and it is estimated that it should be a month or two before you take over Chang'an Ling." Huo Qubing was also a little surprised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's appointment of Huo Guang as the Chang'an Commander, because a child of a family like Huo Guang would not generally serve as a local magistrate and county guard. Moreover, Huo Guang was already a thousand stones, and Chang'an Ling was only a thousand stones, so this kind of appointment can only be regarded as a flat tone.
"Chang'an Order...... It's not a good place to sit! Huo Guang said with a wry smile. Although it is said that the Chang'an Order is the only Qianshi County Order in the Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is only a county order, and the more important thing is that this county order still has to do things under the emperor's nose, plus Chang'an is full of magnates, and a small Chang'an Order will offend the magnates if it is not done well. Therefore, almost no one can do this position for a long time, and most of the Chang'an orders will cause trouble in this position, and almost no one in the entire Han Dynasty wants to do this Chang'an order.
"You don't have to worry, others may not be able to do anything in this position, but you are different. You can rest assured to do it boldly, and if something happens, there will be a brother for you! Huo Qubing also knew that Chang'an Ling was a thankless official position, but this was only for ordinary officials who had no background, but Huo Guang was standing behind Huo Quzhi, even if it was just a county order, no one dared to underestimate this county order.
Huo Guang had thought of many possibilities for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to activate himself, the biggest of which was to let himself serve as he did in the original history, and then be promoted to the official position of 2,000 stone such as 'Fengche Duwei'. Even Huo Guang thought that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would arrange for him to enter the army, but he didn't expect that he would make himself a magistrate who governed one side, and it was Chang'an Ling, who was in a position on the cusp.
However, it is not without benefit to start from the Chang'an Order, if the Chang'an Order does well, then it can be promoted quickly. Because the starting point of the Chang'an order is higher than any county order, if you start from an ordinary county order, there are no special circumstances, you need to go through several promotions to become a county governor. The Chang'an Order can directly advance from a thousand stones to two thousand stones, and become a county guard. For example, Yizong is such a promotion route, at first Yizong also did the Chang'an Order, and then moved to Dingxiang Taishou, to the current internal history.
"During this time, we will also accompany Your Majesty to live in Ganquan Palace, and it is estimated that Your Majesty will summon you from time to time. When I return to Chang'an in the middle of next month, I should make an official order. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * First * Hair" During this time, you can prepare first, since it will be a county order in the future, then some staff officials are indispensable. I don't know if you have a suitable candidate? Huo Quzhi thought about it very carefully, and he began to think about the team for Huo Guang before he took office.
Because in ancient China, many of the staff officials were hired by themselves, and although some of them were also paid by the imperial court, these adjutants often stayed with their former superiors. Yin Qi became the governor of Guannei, so he would definitely take away a large number of officials in Chang'an County. These people change places, and they only need Yin Qi to prepare a case as the governor of Guannai, and these people can be turned into subordinate officials of the governor's mansion, which can be regarded as a collective promotion.
The rules of officialdom in ancient China can easily create a person to ascend to heaven! In fact, this kind of rule still exists in later generations, such as the promotion of leaders in later generations, although they did not immediately take away a large number of people, but they will also arrange henchmen to be transferred to their side one after another, but later generations have changed this clear officialdom rule into an unspoken rule!
"I have a playmate named Zhen Youcai who grew up together, this person can be trusted, and I want to bring him to Chang'an. But I don't have people like the sword and pen officials, only my brother is annoyed. Huo Guang knew that at this time, Zhen Youcai's role was reflected. However, Zhen Youcai is not educated, and as far as Huo Guang knows, he can't even write his own name, so those officials who need to deal with official documents can only let Huo Qubing arrange for himself.
"It is necessary for such a person to know the roots, and I will send someone to take him to Chang'an in a few days. I will arrange those sword and pen officials for you, but the second position of lieutenant is appointed by the imperial court, and the first thing you will do after taking office is to hold these two people in your hands. Huo Quzhi thought about everything very carefully, as if he was the one who wanted to serve as Chang'an's order, and began to remind Huo Guang what to do first after taking office.
"Chang'an Duwei's surname is Cheng, when I had a conflict with Sang Hongyang that day, this person was also present, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to subdue this person!" Huo Guang suddenly remembered that in the tavern of the Western Regions of Chang'an that day, Cheng Duwei also threatened to arrest him, and it was estimated that even if he could accept Cheng Duwei regardless of his previous suspicions, he would not dare to take refuge himself.
"A county lieutenant can't make any waves, and I'll get rid of him before you take office. In the future, the Yizong Association will be your direct superior, and it just so happens that he has also come to Ganquan Palace this time, so you might as well spend some of your energy on this person. Huo Quzhi thought about it for a while, and he really didn't put it in Huo Quzhi's eyes for that Cheng Duwei. As for what kind of treatment Huo Quzhi said, it is not Huo Guang's concern, but Yizong really has to take it seriously, if Yizong intends to make a stumbling block for Huo Guang in the future, then his Chang'an order will be very difficult. Similarly, if Yizong fully supports Huo Guang, then this Chang'an Order will have a lot to do! This is that the county officials are not as good as the current management.
"Well, the little brother made a note of it. I wonder what else my brother has to teach me? "Huo Guang was just a white-collar worker in his previous life, and he didn't think that he could do a good job of the Chang'an Order casually, so he was very modest in this matter.
"The way to be an official is not something that can be explained in a few words, only by you in the future. It's not too early, so rest early! "Many things can't be explained in words, like the trick of being an official, you can only understand it by yourself, even if Huo Quzhi has the heart to teach Huo Guang, but after all, he has no personal experience, and he can't explain it clearly. Seeing that it was not too early, Huo Quzhi would not continue to talk, and it was time for him to go back to his room to rest.
After Huo Qu was sick and left, Huo Guang tossed and turned and it was difficult to sleep. After all, Chang'an Ling is a real job, and it would be false to say that Huo Guang was not excited at all. At this moment, what he thinks about most is not how to show his strength in Chang'an Ling, but how to control the Chang'an County Ya in his own hands first. Huo Guang has been in the Western Han Dynasty for more than a year, and he deeply understands the truth that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and only by controlling the county government first can he have room to play his own, otherwise everything is empty talk.
"After my brother disposed of Cheng Duwei, he can be a Du Lieutenant if he has money, but he is still young and has no experience, so he still needs to be trained for a while. I don't know who the county is? And what kind of master book will my brother arrange for me? Huo Guang's first thought was the three most important positions in the county government. Now it seems that in addition to the county officer, the county lieutenant will definitely be his own person, as for the main book, he was a private staff member in the Western Han Dynasty and has not yet been included in the government agency, so the main book that accompanied Huo Guang to take office must also be his own person.
Huo Guang got up early the next morning, although he didn't sleep much last night, but he was still in good spirits. Huo Guang pushed open the door and found that many courtiers in the Bamboo Palace had also risen.
"Ah Guang, congratulations! I heard that His Majesty is going to appoint you as the Chang'an Order. You see that you are about the same age as An Guo, but that stinky boy doesn't even have an official position now. As soon as he walked out of the door, Huo Guang heard Zhao Ponu's hearty laughter beside him.
"Hehe, the news from the Huhou is really well-informed! If you want to compare like this, then I still have no title, and I don't know how far worse it is than An Guo! Besides, His Majesty has not officially decreed yet. Huo Guang laughed, he knew that Zhao Ponu was actually just joking. Because although Zhao Anguo has no official position, he is the 'heir to the marquis', and the title is equivalent to the marquis, and Huo Guang only has an official position so far, and the title is not even the lowest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has a decree to invite you to go and have a meal, and then Your Majesty will hunt with the adults." Just when Huo Guang and Zhao Ponu were chatting, an attendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty walked into the bamboo palace and passed the decree in the palace.
Because there are still some ministers who have not gotten up at this moment, it is impossible for the chamberlain to shout one by one, as long as he transmits the will, those ministers who have not woken up will naturally have colleagues to call. Sure enough, as soon as the chamberlain left for a while, the doors opened one after another, and most of the courtiers who came to Ganquan Palace with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were here.
These courtiers who lived in the Bamboo Palace had no one to serve, so they had to fetch water and wash their faces. However, a few people such as Huo Quzhi and Li Cai did not live in the Bamboo Palace, but were arranged separately, and they could naturally enjoy the service of the palace people.
Emperor Wu of Han's breakfast was nothing special, and it was similar to the food in the Champion Hou's Mansion, except that the eating utensils were more exquisite. In fact, the difference in metal utensils in this era also directly reflects the gap in social status.
It was the first time Huo Guang had participated in a royal hunt, to be precise, it was the first time to hunt. Before leaving, he was also given a bow and a pot of arrows, but Huo Guang pulled the longbow, and he found that even if he tried his best, he couldn't completely pull the longbow away, let alone the accuracy of the archery.
Huo Guang could only smile helplessly, knowing that this bow and arrow was just a decoration for him, and he had to watch the excitement of this hunt.
At this time, Huo Guang also realized that it was time for him to start exercising, even if he didn't need to have the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy, he could simply open his bow and release arrows, and the martial arts of self-protection should still be mastered. Huo Guang found that he was actually really busy, and many things were waiting for him to do.
When the hunt began, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also changed his clothes, mounted a horse and galloped ahead. However, it didn't take long for the hunting party that had been gathered together to naturally divide into many units. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, together with Li Cai and several other courtiers, entered one of the directions of the hunting ground, while Huo Quzhi, together with Zhao Ponu, Li Kang, Huo Guang and the Twelve Guards, entered the other direction, and at the same time, some other ministers gathered together and were scattered in the hunting ground.
