A few days later, in the main hall of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, the ministers of the Han Dynasty were at the court meeting, reporting to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Like the court officials, they usually report criminal cases and prison sentences at court meetings.

Like the officials of the big peasant order, it is a matter of reporting the income and expenditure of the money valley!

And Jiang Chong, who is the messenger of embroidered clothes, naturally reported to His Majesty about the illegal problems found during the inspection and inspection in these days.

What is an embroidered messenger?

It is a group of central envoys who are dressed in embroidered clothes, holding scepters and knotweed, and are ordered to beg women, manage prisons, supervise officials, and noble relatives.

Some are similar to the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty!

However, the status of the embroidered messenger is obviously higher, but the official position is much lower than that of Jinyiwei.

At one time, they were able to act on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Otherwise.

A few days ago, the carriage of the princess of the pavilion Tao was walking on the gallop road, why did Jiang Chong dare to pull the princess of the pavilion Tao under the horse?

Isn't it just relying on the identity of the embroidered messenger?

Now.

Jiang Chong was reporting the matter, and when he was done, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the envoy is going to impeach one person!"

Jiang Chong was named the messenger of embroidered clothes, but unfortunately, he did not have an official position.

So!

He can only call himself a messenger, not a minister.

To be able to go to the court today, it was the permission of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, otherwise, he would not even have the qualifications to enter Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was not surprised at first when he heard that Jiang Chong was going to impeach people, after all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up this envoy to impeach the officials and nobles who broke the law.

Thereupon.

I saw Emperor Wu of Han gently move his mouth and mutter, "Say, who are you going to impeach?"

Jiang Chong said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "The person I want to impeach is the champion Hou brother, Yilang Huo Guang."

Champion Brother Hou, Huo Guang?

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han's face changed, and he suddenly glared at Jiang Chong and said, "What are you going to impeach him?"

Jiang Chong held the jade wat board and said, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, in the restaurant opened by Huo Yilang, there was a caravan that brought back unknown commercial goods from nowhere, and more than a dozen carriages walked on the gallop road, which violated the imperial court etiquette!"

"The gallop is the driving seat of the Son of Heaven, and only His Majesty's carriage can travel."

"The Pavilion Chief Princess can't occupy it yet, isn't this Huo Yilang's carriage driving on the galloping road offending Your Majesty?"

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? Someone is coming, and the edict is issued to Huo Guang, enter the palace to meet you!"

"No!"

Thereupon.

Under the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were eunuchs in the palace to look for Huo Guang.

The eunuchs of the Han Dynasty were different from other dynasties.

There are real eunuchs among him, and there are also those who are not eunuchs. Therefore, the eunuchs of the Han Dynasty did not specifically refer to eunuchs.

At this time, Huo Guang was in the Le Restaurant here, chatting with Wei Yan without a match.

Of course!

Most of the topics were brought up by Wei Yan first.

I saw Wei Yan staring intently at those Kunlun slaves, and said, "Old watch, how can these slaves and maids grow so dark, I am in the summer season, and I can't get the sun like this when I am exposed to the sun every day outside!"

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What's so strange about this, one side of the water and soil raises the other side!"

"You go to the Western Regions, pass through the countries of the Western Regions, and come to the Nanyang Islands, where there are more black people."

"If you go north, after the desert arctic cold land, you can even see people with snow-white skin, which is different from the skin color of us Han people."

When Wei Yan heard this, he said with suspicion on his face, "Old Cousin, are you lying to me again? The land of the desert north is extremely cold, and beyond the desert north, can there be people living in it?"

Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course there are people, and there are quite a few people. However, at this time, they were not as civilized as our Han Dynasty people, and they were all foreign natives. In your words, it's the countryside

people."

"Oh, no."

"They may not even have a township, only a wilderness!"

When Wei Yan heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Then forget it, don't go." Listening to what you say, I guess I don't have any more than a wild beast."

Seeing this, Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "You still want to go over there? Oh!"

Talking and talking.

Suddenly, a eunuch came in and reported, "Excuse me, is the champion Hou Brother Huo Yilang here?"

Huo Guang was in the main hall of the restaurant just now, and when he heard the eunuch mention himself, he immediately replied, "I'm here."

Subsequently.

Then he walked towards the eunuch.

When the eunuch saw that it was Huo Guang, he said, "Your Majesty's edict, let Huo Yilang ...... Oops, my mother, this... What the hell, it's so dark!"

Between words.

There were just a few black guys passing by.

It didn't work out.

The eunuch was taken aback.

So Huo Guang hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "This is the warehouse that my restaurant bought from the merchants of the Western Regions, and its skin is just a little darker, no different from normal slaves and maids!"

Heard what Huo Guang said.

The eunuch was relieved, then patted his chest and said to Huo Guang, "Your Majesty's edict to let you enter the palace immediately."

"Oh!"

Huo Guang responded, then frowned, and asked tentatively, "Dare to ask, is it that Jiang Chong, the messenger of embroidered clothes, impeached me at today's court meeting?"

The eunuch didn't answer, but said lightly, "Huo Yilang, it's hard for me to say this. When you enter the palace and meet Your Majesty and all the ministers, won't you all know?"

If you can mix around Your Majesty, you naturally know that you won't talk nonsense.

But Huo Guang knew.

This person who can't talk nonsense doesn't mean that his mouth is very strict.

Huo Guang took out some money from the lotus, stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, and said lightly, "Please smile."

The eunuch frowned and asked, "Huo Yilang, what does this mean?"

Huo Guang said, "After walking such a long way, you must have some money for tea and wine!"

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Eh, Huo Yilang really has a heart. However, today's court meeting, you have to be careful, then Jiang Chong impeached your caravan for driving on the gallop road, saying that you are disrespectful to Your Majesty!"

"Ahem."

"Okay, Huo Yilang, if there is anything to ask, Your Majesty and the ministers, wait in the palace!"

Huo Guang immediately nodded, and after saying "yes", he went on the road with the eunuch.

On the road.

He also knew what His Majesty had ordered him to enter the palace this time.

Meantime.

I'm also thinking hard about how to solve this problem.

Soon.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Huo Guang entered the Weiyang Palace, entered the main hall, and met the ministers at the court meeting.

As a councillor.

Huo Guang's official position is not high, so this is only the second time that he has participated in a large-scale courtier meeting.

In the past.

They are all meetings of the Inner Dynasty, and there are not these so-called three princes and nine secretaries, ministers of civil and military affairs.

"Lang Huo Guang, meet Your Majesty."

As always, seeing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, Huo Guang had to make a big bow to see him.

When Emperor Wu of Han saw Huo Guang coming, he snorted and asked, "Huo Guang, my embroidered messenger, impeached you to form a caravan, and the carriage galloped unscrupulously on the galloping road, is there such a thing?"

Huo Guang listened.

He immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation!"

"False accusations?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked sideways slightly.

And Jiang Chong, the embroidered messenger on the side, immediately became anxious when he heard Huo Guang say that he had made a false accusation, and said, "Huo Guang, this messenger asks you, did your caravan drive the carriage to run over on the galloping road?"

Huo Guang immediately arched his hand and said, "Excuse me, it's Your Majesty."

Ask me something, or will you embroider the messenger ask me? Jiang Chong, is it disrespectful for you to rob His Majesty's words?"

"You... Your Majesty, I—" Jiang Chong was speechless for a moment.

He was in a hurry.

However, Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand lightly and said, "It's okay, Jiang Chong is the embroidered messenger appointed by me, and he can hold a scepter and knotweed to perform my words on my behalf, and he can ask questions for me."

As soon as this remark came out.

Huo Guang was dumbfounded.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che's attitude, is a bit wrong.

To Jiang Chong?

Won't it be a little better.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang looked at Jiang Chong again.

Jiang Chong, born in the land of Yan Zhao, is burly and has a good face. According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was quite kind to handsome and tall men.

But this...

It's too kind, isn't it?

At this time, Jiang Chong, when he heard the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, immediately turned overjoyed, and said in a doggy manner, "Huo Yilang, did you hear it? Your Majesty has allowed me to ask you questions."

"Ah, ah, I heard you!" Huo Guang snorted lightly, and then continued, "Since that's the case, then ask!"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Chong could only hold back his anger and asked, "Huo Yilang, do you not admit that a few days ago, the caravan under your restaurant drove many carriages from the galloping road?"

Huo Guang frowned lightly and asked, "Chi Dao? What is Chidao?"

When Jiang Chong heard this, he was immediately surprised: "Huo Guang, you don't pretend to be with me, what is Chidao, don't you know?"

Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know, I want to listen to you!"

At this time.

Jiang Chong's face was full of resentment, and he turned his head and said to Emperor Wu of Han, "Your Majesty, this Huo Guang deliberately pretended to be stupid, saying that he didn't know what Chi Dao was?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, valued Jiang Chong more at this time.

This.

It can be seen from the fact that he sealed Jiang as an embroidered messenger and was here in the Punishment Hall Princess Tao.

But this does not mean that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che values Jiang Chong and despises Huo Guang.

Opposite.

As the champion Hou brother, Huo Guang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also valued him very much. After all, the decisive battle against the Xiongnu is about to begin.

Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che hated Huo Guang very much, he would not punish him at this time.

Thereupon.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, only said lightly: "I know, Jiang Chong, since Huo Yilang doesn't know, then you can tell him about it!"

"What?"

"You don't know what a gallop is?"

When Jiang Chong heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I know, I will explain it to Huo Yilang."

Between words.

A flattering face is undoubtedly revealed.

After talking to Your Majesty.

This Jiang Chong turned his head, changed back to the expression full of resentment, and said to Huo Guang, "Huo Yilang, since you don't know, the messenger will tell you. Chi Road is the Han National Highway, the road is fifty steps wide, and a tree is planted every three zhang."

"On both sides of the road, tamped with metal cones, there have been nine galloping roads since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty."

"And these nine gallops, only His Majesty can go out on patrol."

The words fell.

Jiang Chong looked at Huo Guang coldly, looking like he was quibbling with you!

Huo Guang was unmoved, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Are you finished?"

"It's over!" Jiang Chong snorted coldly and said, "Huo Guang, I have explained it clearly, do you plead guilty?"

Plead guilty?

Hehe!

If this Huo Guang confesses, then he might as well commit suicide directly.

I saw the corners of Huo Guang's mouth slightly raised, looking at Jiang Chong with a smug face, he lightly spit out four words: "Nonsense!"

When Jiang Chong heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said, "You say that this envoy is talking nonsense? Where is there nonsense,

I see that eighty percent of you have a weak heart, and you dare not admit your guilt!"

"Your Majesty, you can send Huo Guang to Chang'an Imperial Prison and let Tingwei interrogate him."

However.

After all, it's the champion Hou Di.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who adhered to the habit of loving the house and Wu, would not punish Huo Guang so easily, but just waved his hand and said, "I'm not in a hurry, Jiang Chong, what are you anxious about, just listen to Huo Guang!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke.

Now.

Jiang Chong, who was in a hurry to put Huo Guang in prison, could only wait.

In fact.

If it weren't for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's kindness, Jiang Chong's appearance would already be rude.

After all.

Above the court, how can he not even have an official position and make a noise.

After Emperor Wu of Han and Jiang Chong finished speaking, they looked at Huo Guang again and said, "Huo Guang, let me explain, why do you say that Jiang Chong said that it is nonsense? If it is reasonable, I will not punish you, but if it is unreasonable, then I will punish you for the crime of deceit."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said this, and it seemed that the tone of his words was very fierce.

But actually.

This is deliberately giving Huo Guangsheng a way.

After all.

Just now he said so confidently that Jiang Chong was talking nonsense, anyone with a discerning eye could see it, and there must be a reason to refute it.

Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that as long as Huo Guang said it well, he would not be punished.

Is that reasonable, isn't it all Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who has the final say?

Huo Guang, who realized this meaning, did not pretend to twist at the moment, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, why did the minister just say that Jiang Chong, the messenger of embroidered clothes, was talking nonsense, it is because he just said that there are nine galloping roads, and only His Majesty can travel by car."

"That's nonsense."

"The gallop road is fifty steps wide, leading to the world, since the beginning of the violent Qin, it is for the benefit of the people's passage."

"I, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, have always been more benevolent than the tyrannical Qin."

"The tyrannical Qin has not yet monopolized the road of people's interests, isn't he Jiang Chong slandering Your Majesty, you are not as good as the first emperor of the previous dynasty?"

Originally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no intention of punishing anyone for this matter.

But when Huo Guang mentioned the First Emperor and compared him, he was immediately a little annoyed, and said, "Bold, Jiang Chong, you dare to compare the tyrant of the previous dynasty with me!"

As soon as this remark came out.

Jiang Chong's legs and feet suddenly weakened, for fear that Emperor Wu of Han would suddenly call the guards to come in and take him down.

Immediately.

Then he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy Jiang Chong has no such intention, this is Huo Guang's slanderous words. Besides, since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the gallop road was the only emperor who could drive a car, so why is there a saying that the people are benefited?"

When Huo Guang heard this, he immediately laughed three times.

Emperor Wu of Han was in a bad mood at this time, looked at Huo Guang, couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Why did Huo Yilang laugh?"

Huo Guang put away his smile at this time, and said, "Chen Xiao, this Jiang Chong has no ink on his chest, and he is talking nonsense!"

"The etiquette system of the imperial court and the law of the Han Dynasty all say that the gallop road is fifty paces wide, but in the middle is for His Majesty's exclusive use of galloping, and others cannot occupy it."

"How is it that in Jiang Chong's mouth, it has become that the entire gallop road can only be galloped by the emperor?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me."

"You can ask the imperial historian, court lieutenant and other officials who are familiar with the calendar of our dynasty!"
