After entering the mansion of the imperial historian Zhang Tang, he looked at Zhang Anshi with four eyes.

Let's be honest.

Huo Guang at this moment was a little embarrassed.

He just asked people why they didn't cook in it, and he basically blurted it out.

A gentleman is far away from cooking!

It's like if someone wants to study, you have to ask him why he doesn't raise pigs?

A truth!

"Ahem, Brother An Shi is fine, Ben Hou didn't mean to belittle you. It's just that before I came, Ling Zun said that it was for you to cook two side dishes, but I didn't expect that it was Zhang Gong who cooked the dishes by himself. Huo Guang said embarrassedly.

This was the Western Han Dynasty.

Frying, boiling, grilling, cooking, etc.

Cooking?

Haven't heard of it.

Of course!

There is one in Huo Guang's restaurant, but this kind of food is not popular among ordinary people outside.

Hear the words.

Zhang Anshi shook his head lightly, put the book behind his back, and said: "Bo Luhou misunderstood, it is not my father who cooks in it, but my uncle's cousin who cooks. ”

A cousin of my uncle's family?

Why did this Anshi's cousin come here!

I just happened to visit Zhang Tangfu, coincidence? Or does this soup want to introduce the other person to himself?

Huo Guang couldn't help but retreat in his heart!

I obviously told Zhang Tang that he was still young and didn't think about marriage.

Or?

Let's run on your own, right?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang looked at Zhang Anshi and asked, "Brother Anshi, can Ben Hou ask a little bit of something that is not very polite?" ”

"Not very polite?"

Zhang Anshi scratched his head, not quite understanding what Huo Guang meant.

Huo Guang saw that he didn't refuse, so he asked directly: "Na, you didn't refuse, you just agreed, so I asked directly." ”

"How is this cousin of your uncle's family?"

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Why does Bo Luhou ask such a thing? ”

Huo Guang thought for a while and said, "You just answer, answer my question, I don't want you to borrow my money last time." ”

Borrowing money.

Huo Guang hasn't forgotten it.

However, Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Didn't my father pay back the money I borrowed from you last time?" I thought my father had already returned it. ”

Okay!

Engage in half a day.

This An Shi thought that he didn't owe Huo Guang money.

Without waiting for Huo Guang to speak, Zhang Anshi continued: "Bo Luhou, this cousin of my uncle's family, in terms of appearance, is really beautiful, beautiful and delicious!" ”

Beautiful?

Beautiful?

Forehead.

Huo Guang, who has been a man in two lives, has never seen a beautiful woman who can reach the point of being beautiful and delicious.

All he knew was.

If you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry!

Thereupon.

Then he was a little interested, and said, "Then I want to meet your cousin." ”

"Ahem."

"Oh, no, no, I'm here to see Lingzun Zhanggong."

Zhang Anshi held the slip in one hand and made a gesture of invitation to the room with the other, and said, "Bo Luhou, please come in, my father is waiting inside." ”

Although Huo Guang's book paper was released.

But in the early case.

Although the popularity of book paper is high, the production is sluggish, which causes the price of book paper to exceed that of Jian Zhu for a time.

Thereupon.

In the homes of honest officials like Zhang Tang, they generally still use the original simple slips.

Huo Guang thanked Zhang Anshi, and then walked into the house and saw Zhang Tang waiting.

I saw that Zhang Tang was sitting at the table at the moment, and when he saw Huo Guang coming in, he said: "Bo Luhou, please sit down, the house is simple, you don't dislike it." ”

Huo Guang glanced at the furnishings in the room.

Truly.

As Zhang Tang said, it is very simple.

But the table with the food is not simple!

It's a high table from his carpentry shop.

The wood material is also a better kind.

The price should not be cheap.

If it is a normal official of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, using such a table, it is still in the past.

But Zhang Tang is known as the coolest official among the honest officials, and the most honest person among the cool officials, and he can't even hire four palanquin drivers, how can he be willing to change such a good high table?

After thinking about this question for a moment.

Huo Guang sat down and said, "Gong Zhang, this dining table is worth a lot of money, right?" ”

Zhang Tang shook his head slightly, and said, "The old man doesn't know the value of this table, it's just that the food table in the house is broken, so he asked his brother to borrow it." ”

Borrow?

All right!

Huo Guang didn't care about this, sat on the chair next to him, and asked, "Zhang Gong said that there are two things to discuss with me, please talk about it quickly!" ”

Zhang Gong smiled faintly and said, "What is Bo Luhou anxious about, is there something urgent at home?" ”

Huo Guang shook his head and said, "That's not true." ”

When Zhang Gong heard this, he continued: "Since there is nothing to do, then don't worry, the old man will tell you slowly." ”

"This first thing is about the old man's Erlang Anshi."

"An Shi is the same age as you."

"The old man is going to arrange it to be by His Majesty's side and be a Lang official."

"What do you think?"

Throw Zhang Anshi to His Majesty and be a Lang official?

That's a good thing!

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although there was a saying of filial piety and honesty, if you really want to have a great future, you must first serve by Your Majesty's side.

Because the world is the world of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

All officials hold positions, and you can only be promoted with the consent of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In other words.

Langguan is the gilded period, this layer of gold plating is good, and the future is worry-free.

Of course.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the official system of the Han Dynasty.

A lot of people say.

To be an official in the Han Dynasty, you must have military merits, that is, you must have a twentieth rank to do it. The title is not enough, and the official position cannot be promoted.

This is a typical ignorance of the history of the Han Dynasty.

If it all depends on military merits, wouldn't the officials of the Han Dynasty all become the five major and three rough generals?

There are always some people who are not physically good, but are very talented, right?

Then these people are powerless to kill chickens, how can you let them engage in military merit and promotion?

Is it possible not to give them a promotion?

In this case, wouldn't the Han Dynasty be even more pedantic than the pre-Qin period?

Certainly not so.

As an official in the Han Dynasty, in addition to the requirements for military merit titles, there is also a kind called Jilao. I won't introduce the specifics, anyway, if you remember enough work, you will be eligible for promotion.

Otherwise, how can there be a word for merit!

Of course.

These were all things that happened before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

These are not a big deal, why, because whoever Emperor Wu of Han wants to be an official can be an official.

Even if it is the position of the head of a hundred officials such as the prime minister.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also sealed it in one word.

You said that the prime minister must have the status of a marquis, and you said that a marquis must have great military merits to be crowned, right?

For Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, these are all.

You have to talk about military feats, right?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that this person has no military merits, but I just gave him the title of marquis?

What is your opinion?

You don't have an opinion, and you can't say it if you have an opinion.

Isn't it a marquis to be a prime minister, na, I have already made him a marquis, and now I will give him a prime minister, is there still a problem?

No!

Here I have to take pity on General Fei Li Guang.

Until his death, he was not a marquis.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forcibly gave Li Guang the title of marquis, who would have an opinion?

But he just won't seal it!

No way.

Who made you stand in the wrong line before?

Of course.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't say that he would get him the position of prime minister by just one person. is generally a talented person, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will make him prime minister.

Just like Li Cai.

After being promoted to the post of prime minister from the imperial historian, he also had political achievements in those years.

It's a pity that in the back, the worse it gets, and it's a little fluttery.

Naturally, something went wrong.

Then again!

Now Zhang Tang wants to arrange his son Zhang Anshi to be a squire by the emperor's side, which is definitely the most correct decision.

Huo Guang thought for a while and said, "This is a good thing, and it will be of great benefit to Zhang Erlang's career in the future." ”

"Still."

"Zhang Gong, does this have anything to do with me?"

Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang smiled and said, "Wasn't you the speaker next to Your Majesty before, let me ask you and gain some experience!" ”

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself that he was a negotiator, and he didn't serve by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what experience could he take?

When I am in doubt.

A little lady came up with the prepared food and put it on the table.

These foods.

Most of it is meat, grilled meat.

Barbecue.

In the Western Han Dynasty, it was a big meal in a big meal.

Huo Guang frowned slightly, and said, "Gong Zhang, is this a gift?" Why is it so good to eat today! ”

As soon as I heard this.

Zhang Tang's face suddenly darkened, and he said: "Bo Lu Hou don't want to talk nonsense, do you see that the old man is so quiet in front of the door, as if he will do something to receive gifts?" ”

"That's hard to say!" Huo Guang shrugged and said.

This appearance can make Zhang Tang angry,

However.

The young man in front of him this time was no longer Huo Yilang who went to Zhao with him at the beginning.

He is His Majesty's Fengche Lieutenant, a military lieutenant.

The most important.

He was also named Marquis of Bolu by His Majesty.

With this kind of identity, even if Huo Guang stretched out his hand, Zhang Tang couldn't take out the ring ruler to fight.

Thereupon.

Zhang Tang had no choice but to blow his beard and stare at him angrily.

Between the two, it's not embarrassing.

At this time, the little lady who had placed the food on the side spoke: "Bo Luhou said with a smile, this food was ordered by my father to bring me to my middle father's house. ”

Hearing the little lady's silver-bell-like words, Huo Guang glanced at the other party and asked, "Are you the cousin of Zhang Anshi's uncle's family?" ”

The little lady immediately bowed her head slightly and said, "The little woman's name is Zhang Wenjun, and she is An Shi's cousin. ”

"Oh!"

Huo Guang nodded, glanced up and down at Zhang Wenjun, and didn't seem to care too much on the surface.

In fact, he despised Zhang Anshi fiercely in his heart.

What about the good beauty and food?

What about a good look?

The figure is not as good as Yan Yu, and the face is not as good as the girl from Dong Xun and the Sang family.

temperamentally.

It can't compare to the bookish aura that Jiang Wanqiu carried.

Where do you come from?

This Zhang Nexperia, I really haven't eaten good pork.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang smiled faintly, what was he thinking nonsense?

Then.

Zhang Wenjun saw him smiling, so he asked, "Bo Luhou, what are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that Gong Zhang, as a doctor of imperial history, is one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty. With such an identity, it is really sighing that he is so poor! Huo Guang said lightly.

Zhang Wenjun frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "Sigh? Why sigh? Shouldn't honesty be a good thing? ”

Huo Guang smiled slightly and didn't say much.

And Zhang Wenjun wanted to continue to ask something, but at this time, Zhang Tang opened his mouth and said, "Wenjun, you go out first, the old man and Bo Luhou have something to discuss." ”

"Yes, Father."

Zhang Wenjun listened to Zhang Tang's words and walked out of the house.

Wait until she leaves.

Zhang Tangcai said to Huo Guang: "Bo Luhou, the second thing I want to tell you next, don't be scared!" ”

"Scared? Huo Guang raised his eyebrows disdainfully and said, "Zhang Gong, don't look at me from the perspective of two years ago. ”

"Ben Hou once went on an expedition with the general, and fought with the barbarian Huns on the dangerous Mobei battlefield."

"The blood flowed all over the ground, and he did not frown."

"You said Ben Hou would be scared?"

When Zhang Tang heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, Bo Luhou has such courage, so the old man said it directly." ”

"Last time, I took hundreds of officials to sue you for your guilt and put you in prison, do you remember?"

"The old man is going to bring him down in the near future!"

Bring down Prime Minister Li Cai?

When Huo Guang heard this, he was immediately amazed.

There are many discords between the imperial historian Zhang Tang and the prime minister Li Cai, who in the court does not know?

As for the reason why the two are incompatible.

It's not because Zhang Tang is a close confidant of His Majesty, and he often uses His Majesty's orders to do things that exceed the rights of the prime minister.

This made Prime Minister Li Cai extremely unsightly of his behavior.

So the friction between the two is very big.

However, His Majesty has repeatedly warned Prime Minister Li Cai, so that Prime Minister Li Cai, the head of the hundred officials, has never attacked Zhang Tang.

Taiwei can work against Cheng.

That's because the Tai Lieutenant holds the military power in his hands, and all the generals have to listen to the Tai Lieutenant.

The Imperial Doctor only has the right to supervise in his hands, and the real power is very small, what does he do with Cheng?

And bring down the prime minister?

Huo Guang looked at Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang with some suspicion and asked, "Gong Zhang, do you have evidence to bring down Prime Minister Li Cai?" ”

Zhang Tang nodded and said, "Yes, the old man has already mastered the ironclad evidence that he invaded the land of the Yangling Shrine in the Emperor Garden of Xiaojing. ”

Hear what Zhang Tang said.

Huo Guang was even more confused and asked, "Didn't he make trouble in the court last year about his embezzlement of land?" And the evidence is conclusive, and now the story is revisited, is it still useful? ”

When Zhang Tang heard this, he laughed twice, then stroked his beard with his hand, and then continued: "Bo Luhou doesn't understand the situation in the court. ”

"The so-called one time, that time."

"In the first two years, the battle of Mobei had not yet begun, and His Majesty needed him to transport the military migrants, change the currency of the officials, coordinate the salt and iron, and so on."

"And Li Cai has done these things quite well."

"It's just that after the Battle of Mobei, do you think Your Majesty still needs him?"

Listening to Zhang Tang's words, Huo Guang frowned slightly.

The meaning of these words.

Isn't it just saying that the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking?

But Li Cai is the prime minister!

Huo Guang still didn't believe it, so he shook his head, "Gong Zhang, forgive Benhou for not agreeing." This Li Cai was once the prime minister, and there were still many things to do, and he was not one of those generals, how could he treat him as an outcast after the Battle of Mobei! ”

However, Zhang Tang smiled and said: "The old man has always only acted according to His Majesty's wishes, if His Majesty doesn't have this idea, how can the old man act rashly!" ”

"Bo Luhou!"

"Do you know that some time ago, when His Majesty wanted to confer on you the title of marquis, he was going to give the general and the hussar general the title of Grand Sima?"

Huo Guang frowned slightly and said, "I heard a little news. ”

Zhang Tang said again: "Then do you know why it has been delayed until today before issuing an edict to the general and the hussar general, so that the two of them can jointly serve as the great Sima?" (End of chapter)
