Chapter Twenty-Six: Gyeonggi Cool Officials
From Pingcheng to Chang'an, this road stops and stops, and when I returned to Chang'an, it was already March of the fifth year of Yuanzhen, and from this time, the great historical process has not changed.
Regarding the news of the marquis of the generals, Huo Qubing was only announced when the army marched to Jinyang (later Taiyuan). The announcement of this news did cause a strong shock among the generals in the army, and to Huo Guang's surprise, Li Dang did not show anything after knowing that he was only made the Marquis of Guannei, that is, he could not see joy or loss. Moreover, Huo Guang found that since a few days ago, Li Kang had become a little taciturn, which was very different from his original character.
"Could it be that he already knows the news of Li Guang's suicide? It is estimated that Prime Minister Li Cai told him that he was able to pass the news to the military camp unconsciously, and Li Cai really has some ability. Huo Guang estimated that Li Kang already knew about his father, maybe Li Cai had some special instructions, so Li Kang pretended to be fine.
This time, in addition to the Marquis of Yiguan, Gao Buzhi, who was already a liege, and Zhao Anji, the Marquis of Changwu, there were six more marquis. Specifically:
Right Beiping Taishou Lu Bode, beheaded a total of 2,700 captives, rewarded 1,600 households, and sealed the marquis.
Weishan, the capital of the northern land, captured the king of Tuntou and the king of Han, rewarded 1,200 households of food, and sealed the Marquis of Yiyang.
There are many school captains and servants, beheading and capturing 3,200 people, rewarding 1,100 households, and sealing the Marquis of Huiqu.
Fulu Branch, 1,300 households in the food area, and the Marquis of Zhuang.
Yi Jixuan, 1,800 households in the food town, and sealed the marquis.
Here is a little vague about the rewards of Fulu Zhi and Yi Jixuan, but because these two people are both Xiongnu generals, this marquis is not completely based on the merits of the two in this battle of Mobei, as well as the status of the two in the Xiongnu, and other comprehensive factors.
The last of the six people was naturally Li Kang, who sealed the Neihou with 300 households.
As for Gao Buzhi and Zhao Anji, who were already marquises, they respectively sealed 300 households. After this benefit, the number of households that Yiguan Hou Gao did not know had reached 1,400, and the number of households of Zhao Anji, the Marquis of Changwu, had reached 2,700. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" These two people are medium even among the lieges!
And Zhao Ponu, another restored marquis, was still reinstated from the marquis, and 300 more households were sealed on top of the original 1,500 households.
Since then, in the entire battle of Mobei, one of Huo Quai's legions has been restored, two have been sealed, and six have been newly sealed. In addition, officers at all levels are rewarded with military merit titles, and non-commissioned officers are all at least third-class, and the entire legion can be said to have received the largest reward since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, the specific reward matters, as well as the ribbon of the seal letter, also need to be presided over by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after returning to Chang'an, after all, the marquis is not a trivial matter.
Chang'an in March is also full of spring, it seems that even God is greeting the soldiers of the expedition to Mobei, and the army has just entered the territory of Chang'an. Because at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had not yet set up the land of Sanfu, and the Jingshi was still governed by the left and right internal history, and the land of Jinggi at this time was also called the internal history.
The internal history of the left and right is equivalent to the two thousand stone county guards, but these two can participate in the court meeting, and their status is half a level higher than that of other county guards. However, there is no clear record of the division of the left and right internal histories in history, so according to the habit of the ancients to respect the left, it is likely that the entire land of Gyeonggi was dominated by the left internal history, supplemented by the right internal history.
And just when Huo Quai's army was still more than 100 miles away from Chang'an County, Yizong, who was the right internal historian at the time, was already waiting for Huo Qubing with a large number of subordinates.
"Lord Hou returned triumphantly, His Majesty has issued an order to properly arrange the soldiers first, and His Majesty will pay tribute to the Taimiao Temple on a certain day, and reward the soldiers of the whole army. Xia Guan has arranged a garrison for Hou Ye's army in Chang'an County, and he has wronged the soldiers in the past few days! Although the words of Yizong in the big tent were respectful, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, which formed a huge gap with other officials along the way. However, Huo Guang couldn't remember for a while that there was such a celebrity as Yizong during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he didn't know what was different about this person.
"Since it is His Majesty's will, then the internal history can be arranged." Huo Quai's treatment of Yizong also lacked the arrogance of other officials, which made Huo Guang look at Yizong even more.
Then Huo Quai's nearly 50,000 troops, together with thousands of Hun prisoners, marched dozens of miles and came to the garrison of Chang'an County, which is naturally where Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, is located, but it is impossible for 50,000 troops to enter Chang'an City. If it weren't for Huo Qubing commanding this army and being a victorious division, I'm afraid it would be impossible to be stationed so close to Chang'an City.
Yi Zong, as an internal historian, was naturally busy with official business, and after temporarily arranging Huo Quai's army, he returned to the internal history yamen non-stop to arrange the follow-up matters of the army.
"Brother, I think this righteousness seems to be a little special, and even my brother seems to look at him differently. I wonder what is unique about this person? As soon as Yizong left, Huo Quzhi asked his own questions. At this time, there was no one else in the big tent, and the two brothers talked more casually. had already arrived in Chang'an, Huo Qubing and even most of the generals under his command had mansions in Chang'an, but as soon as the army arrived, these generals did not dare to enter Chang'an without the emperor's will, and they couldn't even go back to their own mansions, so the generals could only live in the barracks temporarily.
"Oh? You really should know this person. Do you know which two people in this Chang'an City can't be offended? Huo Qubing also seemed to think of changing to Huo Guang to introduce the situation in Chang'an, so he took the opportunity to say.
"This ...... If you can't offend, I'm afraid there are too many people in this Chang'an City who can't be offended. But I have to say that the one who can't be offended the most should be the Imperial Doctor. Huo Guang thought for a moment and replied. There are many powerful people in Chang'an City, and indeed many people should not be offended. But if you want to say that the most unoffended person should be the imperial doctor who is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, not the prime minister, but the power is greater than that of the prime minister. Of course, the emperor was not on the list.
"Yes, if you are an official, Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, must not be offended. And for the people, this right-hand historian must not be offended. This person is harsh in governance, and he has always acted in accordance with the law without being emotional, and it is even more rare that he does not avoid the powerful. Those landlords in Chang'an are strong and strong, and everyone in the court and the middle of the country is afraid of them like tigers. When this person was only a Chang'an order, he dared to arrest the queen mother's grandson. Now this person's holy family is in full swing, and don't have a conflict with this person until the last resort. Huo Quzhi briefly introduced the deeds of Yizong, and then mentioned and told Huo Guang some of the situation in Chang'an.
"It turned out to be him......" Huo Guang finally remembered some things about this person, of course, it was not that Huo Guang really knew about Yizong, but because this person was as famous as the cool official Zhang Tang, then Huo Guang knew a little bit about his final ending.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were two types of people with the most, one was the famous general, and the other was the cool official. Among them, ten of the cool officials are very famous, known as the top ten cool officials of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Tang, the imperial historian mentioned by Huo Quzhi earlier, is the first of the top ten cool officials, and it is self-evident that Yi Zong can be as famous as Zhang Tang. However, although the ten cool officials under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were once beautiful, the final outcome was very miserable, and none of them died well, and several of them were exterminated by the five clans. If Huo Guang is not mistaken, Zhang Tang and Yizong should both be executed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in two or three years!
"This person's methods are strict, he must have offended a lot of powerful people, and the saints will eventually decay one day, I think this person will not be able to die well in the future!" Huo Guang recalled that Huo Quzhi mentioned just now that Yizong even dared to bring the queen mother's grandson to justice, even if he didn't need to know history, he could think that his ending would not be very good. The queen mother is Wang Huan, the biological mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even her grandson dares to move, and she has to admire that this righteous is indeed bold.
"Although their methods of doing things are a little radical, they are also doing practical things, and besides, the court also needs officials like them. Although His Majesty intended to respect Confucianism a few years ago, it is difficult for Confucianism alone to govern the country. "Huo Quzhi did not reject Zhang Tangyizong and others in his words, and at this time he even mentioned the famous 'depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism' in later generations.
In fact, Huo Guang has also understood these days through the past few days, the so-called 'depose the hundred schools of thought, respect Confucianism' is actually just a misinterpretation of later generations, the original Dong Zhongshu's original words were 'depose the hundred schools and commend the Six Classics', which means that the ruling ideology is based on Confucianism to mythologize the imperial power.
In fact, in addition to Confucianism, the doctrines of war, law, ink, agriculture, and yin and yang were still absorbed by the ruling class. This is also why the cool officials who represent the Legalist family were still so popular in the middle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and through contact and communication with Huo Quai, Huo Guang found that his brother obviously had a strong military color.
Judging from Huo Guang's understanding of thousands more, where has the so-called deposed hundred schools of thought really been deposed? Even after 2,000 years, the development of governing the world still needs the ideas of various schools such as Legalism and Bingjia. Of course, the only difference may be that with the deduction of time, the boundaries of various ideas are not so obvious, and the final result is a Mahayana concept that combines Confucianism and famous ink, and integrates all ideas into one.
In fact, this is also Huo Guang's ideological concept today, he is not like the people of this era, most of them are swayed by one thought, which is also another advantage of Huo Guang in this era.
"Now, we'll be able to go home in a few days. Presumably Xi'er will be very happy to see your uncle, Xi'er is already three years old, I don't know if I still recognize my father, hehe......" Huo Quzhi's face smiled slightly, this is the first time in half a year that Huo Guang has seen his brother take the initiative to mention his nephew Huo Heng.
Speaking of Huo Huan, Huo Quai, the military god who has been fighting horses all his life, his face also shows unconcealable love. Especially the silly laughter at the end, where is there still half a point of heroism across the desert, and some are just an ordinary father who misses his young son at home after a long absence!
