After recommending Ren An, the general Wei Qing came out of the palace and rushed back to his house.

He was ready to inform Ren An of the good news.

But at the same time.

I was also thinking about the strange words of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.

Most of them are related to Huo Guang.

So!

After he decided to go back, he went to Huo Guang to ask what was going on.

After returning to the house.

He asked people to find Ren An and said, "Ren An, tell you good news." I recommend your talents to Your Majesty, Your Majesty agrees, and makes you the Crown Prince and Young Master, and also the position of Zongzheng! ”

Hear the words.

Ren An said a little excitedly: "Thank you for the kindness of the general!" ”

The general Wei Qing waved his hand and said, "Such a trivial matter is not enough to worry about!" ”

Trifle? No!

Recommendation is a big deal, especially for a powerless person like Ren An, whose status is low. If he hadn't been recommended by General Wei Qing, he would have been a commoner in this life.

So.

Ren An's gratitude to the general is also out of sincerity.

I saw Ren An say: "The general is really benevolent and righteous to me, and An will never live up to the general's expectations!" ”

At this moment, Ren An sent Wei Qing to kneel down directly.

The general laughed and said, "It's just a recommendation for you, it's not so exaggerated." In the end, it's up to you! ”

"Don't talk about it."

"I'm going to go to my little nephew Huo Guang later, there are some things I have to ask him!"

Ren An said: "The general doesn't need to look for it, just now Bo Luhou was still chatting with me, just in the house!" ”

"Has Huo Guang come to my house? That's just right! ”

When the general Wei Qing learned that his little nephew, who was not related by blood, had returned to the house, he immediately nodded and asked Huo Guang to be called.

Huo Guang learned that the general had returned to the house, and immediately rushed over.

Come over this time.

Naturally, it is a matter of sealing the king for His Majesty's third son.

The third son was crowned king, but it was a big deal.

How can this be without the support of Da Sima Weiqing? Therefore, the general Wei Qing also needs to act with Zhang Tang, Zhuang Qingzhai and others.

Like the general Wei Qing, he rarely takes the initiative to interact with people. If Huo Guang didn't pull the strings, how could he join forces with the rest of the second duke to tell His Majesty about the third son's crown?

As for Zhang Tang and Zhuang Qingzhai, the two of them have an enmity.

Zhang Tang has decided until now that the position of prime minister was his own, but Zhuang Qingzhai stepped in and seized his position as prime minister.

Because of this.

Zhang Tang would never join forces with Zhuang Qingzhai.

Even Huo Guang didn't tell the two to do the same thing.

When Huo Guang came to the general, he saw that Ren An was also there, so he nodded at him, and then said to the general: "Uncle." ”

Wei Qing nodded and said, "Huo Guang, my uncle has something I want to ask you." ”

Huo Guang replied: "Uncle, excuse me." ”

Wei Qing first pondered for a moment, and then said: "Today, I went to Your Majesty and recommended Ren An to serve the imperial court. ”

"But I don't know how."

"Your Majesty has repeatedly mentioned you in front of me, and said that you didn't make it clear to me about something."

"What the hell is going on?"

Huo Guang first heard his uncle's words, so he first looked at Ren An and said, "You were recommended by my uncle?" Dare to ask what kind of official position Brother Ren An is now? ”

Ren An was a little embarrassed and said, "The general said that it is the crown prince and young master, and he also serves as the head of the sect. ”

"Oh, then you wait, I have something to tell you." Huo Guang patted Ren An's shoulder slightly, ready to persuade Ren An to be the one who asked His Majesty to make the third son king.

After all.

The more people speak for the three sons, the better.

Then.

When General Wei Qing saw Huo Guang chatting with Ren An, he coughed lightly and said, "Huo Guang, you haven't answered your uncle's words yet!" ”

Huo Guang was busy saying, "Oh, yes, yes, uncle, this matter should actually be told to you." ”

"But I thought about it, you're my uncle, and it's easier to talk, so I'll put it at the end."

"Ahead!"

"I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk to Zhuang Qingzhai first, and there was also the imperial historian Zhang Tang, who also talked about it."

The general frowned at this time, slightly puzzled.

No wonder Your Majesty always mentions Huo Guang today!

It turns out that there is really something.

Come to mind.

The general Wei Qing asked directly: "Huo Guang, what is it that is worthy of His Majesty's attention?" ”

Huo Guang then smiled and said, "A big deal! ”

At this time, Wei Qing was a little impatient, so he said: "Just say it!" ”

"Hmm" Huo Guang thought about it, but still didn't say it directly, but asked: "Uncle, do you know that my brother once played a message to His Majesty before he set out for Mobei?" ”

The general Wei Qing only understood at this time and said, "You mean, the matter of making the rest of the princes kings?" ”

Seeing that the general knew, Huo Guang no longer hid it, and said, "That's it." ”

"Your Majesty wants to crown the three princes as kings, but it is not good to announce this matter directly."

"So let me lobby the three dukes in the court and let him play this matter at the court meeting."

"Wait for the three princes to play one by one."

"Your Majesty can reluctantly agree to this matter, so the matter of making the prince king is logical, and at the same time, it can also defend the status of the crown prince."

"Oh."

"Uncle may not know that the reason why my brother played this advice is mainly because the queen mother told her brother about this."

Heard Huo Guang's words.

The general Wei Qing frowned deeply, with his character, he had always been reluctant to participate in this kind of political matter.

Crown the third son as the king!

It's too big.

After thinking for a moment.

General Wei Qing asked suspiciously: "Huo Guang, ten years ago, His Majesty made the Tui En Order, which was originally intended to weaken the strength of the princes in various places. ”

"Why now?"

"Isn't it a conflict to crown the third son as king?"

Hear the words.

Huo Guang also said helplessly: "Uncle, there is no way to do this, the Tui En Order is to weaken the power of the princes in various places, and these princes are just His Majesty's brothers or clansmen." ”

"The prince is the son of His Majesty."

"Now that the crown prince has been established, the best thing Your Majesty can give to these princes is to be crowned king."

"Since ancient times, water has flowed down."

"Your Majesty must be thinking about your own princes."

"Moreover, as my uncle said, there is a conflict with the Tui En Order, which requires the third duke to lead a hundred officials to ask His Majesty for this matter at the court meeting."

"Here."

"Your Majesty can be the king of the three princes with peace of mind."

After Huo Guang's explanation, Wei Qing almost understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Thereupon.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I already know about this matter, and now I will go to write the recital, and tomorrow the court meeting, I will ask Your Majesty about this matter." ”

Hear the words.

Huo Guang nodded and said, "There is Uncle Lao." ”

Wei Qing didn't say much, and after communicating with Huo Guang, he went to the study to write a message for tomorrow's invitation.

Watching my uncle leave.

Huo Guang said to Ren An at this time: "Brother Shaoqing, you also heard what Ben Hou communicated with the general just now, right?" ”

When Ren An heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I haven't heard anything, please rest assured that Bo Luhou will never spread this matter from me." ”

Huo Guang smiled dumbly, this Ren An misunderstood what he meant by asking him.

Ren An saw Huo Guang laughing, so he said, "Why is Bo Luhou laughing at me?" ”

Huo Guang waved his hand and said, "No, no, what Ben Hou means is to invite Brother Ren An, and after he goes back, he will also write a message about this matter and play it to His Majesty." ”

"Uncle didn't say that he recommended you, you are already the prince and young master, and you also serve as the head of the sect."

"So, you are also eligible to participate in the pilgrimage."

Seeing this, Ren An asked: "Didn't you say that this matter needs to be done by the third duke, and I, a new official who has just taken office, can also ask Your Majesty?" ”

Huo Guang nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise what are you doing in the court!" ”

"And this matter means a lot to you!"

"You are a new face at the court, and after you are invited, you will definitely attract the attention of Your Majesty and leave an impression, so that you can move high in the future!"

When Ren An heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Bo Luhou for your order!" ”

Huo Guang laughed and said, "Where is it, Brother Shaoqing's words are serious." ”

After some exchanges.

Forthwith!

Ren An also said goodbye to Huo Guang and went to write a chapter.

Looking at the familiar shogunate, Huo Guang was stunned for a while.

I didn't stay long and went back alone.

He also had to prepare for what was going to happen tomorrow.

Wait until the next day.

The court meeting where the three princes and nine kings appeared began the above matter.

First of all.

As the prime minister of the third duke, Zhuang Qingzhai and the imperial historian Zhang Tang are incompatible existences, and the two of them actually stood up at the same time and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to play!" ”

As soon as the words came out.

The level of tacit understanding between the two sides, as if it had been rehearsed, is surprisingly consistent.

Forthwith.

The two of them glared at each other angrily, and said in unison: "Zhang Yushi (Prime Minister Zhuang), it was the old man who invited him first!" ”

If you are an enemy of the other party, you can say the same thing.

Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who was above the high position, already knew what they were going to do today.

So he pretended to say: "You two are in the third place, why quarrel over this trivial matter?" In this way, the prime minister will speak first, and then your imperial doctor will come to tell you about it. ”

"No!"

There was no way, the emperor spoke, and the imperial doctor could only take a step back.

Then.

The prime minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that in ancient times, the land was divided and the country was established, and at the same time, the vassal states were established to honor the Son of Heaven. This is the reason for respecting the Jongmyo and attaching importance to the community. ”

"The Son of Heaven is worried about the affairs of the world, and he is worried that the prince has not been crowned."

"Chenzhuang Qingzhai, risking death to ask Your Majesty to appoint the princes Liu Hong, Liu Dan, and Liu Xu as princes and kings, and give them the name of the country."

As soon as this remark came out.

The ministers of Jiuqing in the court discussed one after another.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was above the high position, and on the surface he was troubled by this matter, but in his heart he was actually happy.

I thought to myself.

Huo Guang was reliable, and really let the prime minister mention the matter.

Since the prime minister spoke, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was ready to refuse first, but before he could speak, at this time, Zhang Tang, the unwilling imperial historian, said: "Your Majesty, the old minister Zhang Tang, although he has never agreed with the prime minister. ”

"But the matter of the prince being crowned the king is the same."

"Minister Zhang Tang, risking his life to ask His Majesty to appoint the princes Liu Hong, Liu Dan, and Liu Xu as princes and kings, and give them the name of the country."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was first a flute.

Why did Doctor Zhang Tang rush to speak?

You haven't rejected the prime minister yet?

Forthwith.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che glared at Huo Guang, and the meaning of that look was to ask him what was going on.

And for a while.

Huo Guang didn't realize this problem yet.

Then.

I saw that his uncle, who was not related by blood, that is, the great general Sima Weiqing, also stood up and said: Great Sima Chen Weiqing, risk death to ask Your Majesty to appoint the princes Liu Hong, Liu Dan, and Liu Xu as princes and kings, and give them the name of the country. ”

Three Princes and Nine Secretaries.

The three princes are the head, and the three princes have spoken.

The rest of the Jiuqing ministers, how can they still have doubts?

And so.

Taichang Zhao Chong, Taixing Ling Li Xi, the crown prince and young master, and Ren An, who also served as Zongzheng, and others, jointly asked His Majesty for this matter.

The rest of the ministers who reacted slowly also began to echo it.

That's when it happened.

Huo Guangcai realized the reason why Emperor Wu of Han was glaring at him just now.

"I've suffered, I've forgotten the order, and I'm going to see it. Your Majesty refuses first, and the people behind you can only play the invitation, and this time the next brain will be played, how can you still see? Huo Guang sighed secretly in his heart.

This thing.

It's hard to deal with.

I saw Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looked at Huo Guang and asked, "Bo Luhou, what do you say about this?" ”

In this sentence.

Others can't hear it, and Huo Guang can hear the meaning of the question.

That's it.

Huo Guang could only stubbornly say: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers also ask Your Majesty to appoint the princes Liu Hong, Liu Dan, and Liu Xu as the princes and kings, and give them the name of the country." ”

Hear the words.

Emperor Wu of Han suddenly said angrily: "You play you"

The words stopped abruptly, and the words that followed were not good, and they were not suitable for his words as the king of a country.

Thereupon.

Emperor Wu of Han had no choice but to hold back his anger and asked, "I'm asking you, now, what should I do?" ”

Huo Guang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, do what you should do." ”

The dialogue between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Huo Guang was incomprehensible to the ministers of Jiuqing, and they looked ignorant.

For such a major event of establishing a prince and king, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not ask the three princes, but asked Huo Guang what he meant?

Even if you ask!

You should also ask too often or Zongzheng, right?

And Sangong knows this very well.

After all.

They all knew that Huo Guang and Emperor Wu of Han were colluding in this matter, so next, it should be His Majesty who agreed to this matter.

However.

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, said: "The Zhou Dynasty divided eight hundred princes, and all the surnames of Ji were tied, including viscounts, barons, and vassals. ”

"The Book of Rites says, 'The branch shall not be offered to the temple.'" ”

"But you said that you would build a vassal state to reinforce the community, and I have never heard of it."

Furthermore, Heaven did not beget people for kings. If my virtue is shallow, and I have not been able to reconcile the whole country, but I have reluctantly made the prince who has not learned the doctrine a prince, what exhortation can the minister play in him? ”

"This matter should be re-discussed, at most, it can only be given by the liehou!"

As soon as this remark came out.

The Third Duke was puzzled, why did His Majesty refuse this matter? Didn't Bo Luhou assure them that this matter was His Majesty's intention?

How!

Your Majesty will refuse this!

Thereupon.

The three princes looked at Huo Guang one after another.

Huo Guang was also embarrassed, but at this time he could only choose to ignore their eyes.

Then.

Seeing that the ministers were discussing again, Emperor Wu of Han ignored it and said directly: "Everyone, step down, I'm tired, I'll discuss it another day." ”

"No!"

When the three princes and nine kings heard this, they could only obey His Majesty's wishes.

However.

Just when Huo Guang was about to withdraw.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, snorted: "Bolu Hou Huoguang, you stay, I have something to ask you!" ”
