[Vol. 1] Section 206: Dark War

------------

Liu Xun's attitude gave Huo Guang a reassurance, and those who are rolling in the officialdom know very well that nothing is more important than the emperor's trust, the emperor wants to trust you, even if it is a sesame mung bean official, the official authority can be scary. On the contrary, if the emperor does not trust, even if it is a minister, this life will not be easy.

Huo Guang performed the scene of resignation, just to touch Liu Xun's attitude. Liu Xun is not very old, but he is an old man, and the city is so deep that sometimes even Huo Guang's old eyes can't see through it.

Huo Guang didn't expect that his resignation would cause such a big contrast to Liu Xun, and from Liu Xun's performance of trying his best to keep him, Huo Guang felt Liu Xun's sincerity and trust.

For a courtier, that's enough!

Huo Guang got rid of his worries and put down his burdens, even if there were some differences between the monarchs and ministers in some governing concepts, he would no longer retreat.

In recent years, in order to purge the rule of officials, Huo Guang has increased the punishment for the crimes of officials, which is similar to the legacy of Emperor Wu, which has also led to the reappearance of cool officials who have been extinct for many years.

Liu Xun saw the drawbacks, thinking that his grandfather and father all died at the hands of the cool officials, and in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy, he must curb the momentum of the cool officials.

Things may seem simple, but they are not easy to do. After all, the policy came from Huo Guang's hands, and many cool officials were picked up by Huo Guang, and if he wanted to move these people, he would inevitably have a conflict with Huo Guang.

Liu Xun had a headache for some time and came up with an idea of killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Xun has always wanted to do one thing since he learned about his life experience, he wants to give an explanation to the person who was wronged by the witch Gu case twenty years ago.

The leader of the witch case is a well-known cool official, if he gives □□ to the wronged at this time, he can comfort his grandparents, parents and others, and second, show his attitude towards the cool official.

In this way, it will not offend Huo Guang, but also achieve what you want, it is not just killing two birds with one stone, it is simply killing many birds with one stone.

Liu Xun sighed for a long time at the court meeting, and the ministers looked at the emperor who had a happy face in the past and suddenly became so melancholy, and the second monk was puzzled for a while, and asked the emperor if he was uncomfortable and wanted to get off work early to rest?

Liu Xun shook his head, he said that I am not filial.

The ministers looked at each other even more, not knowing what kind of medicine Liu Xun sold in the gourd, and said that he was not filial for no reason, was it because his father-in-law was not a marquis.

Looking at Huo Guang again, his face was a little wrong.

Liu Xun continued to say meaningfully, "Therefore, the crown prince is in East Lake, and he has no nickname. ”

Only then did the ministers come back to their senses, it turned out that they were talking about this matter, and only the current emperor had the need to do this, and others did not dare to give Emperor Wu's 'sinner' □□.

The ministers said that the emperor was right, and that he should give Liu Xun's grandparents, parents and others nicknames.

In the end, Liu Xun's parents mourned and reburied. Liu Xun's grandparents were reburied and reburied.

Liu Xun's wish for many years has been fulfilled, and he also revealed to the following information about opposing the rule of cool officials.

Soon after, he specially promoted Huang Ba, the Henan Taishou who was lenient and enforced the law, to be the court captain and prime minister, in order to set an example for officials all over the world, hoping that they could love the people like sons.

Huo Guang has no objection to this.

He wouldn't not know what Liu Xun's series of actions were doing, if it was him before, he would definitely educate Liu Xun like he educated Emperor Zhao.

However, he felt very relieved that he did not choose the wrong person, and Liu Xun would definitely be able to continue the prosperity that he had spent more than ten years rebuilding.

Compared with the prosperous age, what do you gain by that little gain or loss?

Huo Guang is a person who can advance and retreat, which can be seen from his treatment of his confidant ministers.

In the first two years (72 BC), Huo Guang's henchman Dasi Farmland Yannian was sued, and the person who sued him said that Tian Yannian embezzled 30 million money from the treasury during Emperor Zhao's funeral. Huo Guang received the report and immediately summoned Tian Yannian for interrogation, but Tian Yannian insisted that there was no such thing and that the enemy wanted to frame him. Tian Yannian originally thought that as long as he didn't admit it, Huo Guang would not be held accountable for the sake of his face after many years of saddle.

But he underestimated Huo Guang, how could Huo Guang not know the rumors of Tian Yannian outside all these years, he knew that this matter was not far from ten, so Huo Guang only left one sentence, "Since there is no such thing, we must investigate it to the end." ”

learned that Huo Guang wanted to investigate Tian Yannian, Tian Yannian's friend Tian Guangming, the imperial historian, Tian Guangming was promoted to the imperial historian by supporting Liu Xun as the emperor, and he has always been regarded as Huo Guang's person in the court. He found Du Yannian, another henchman of Huo Guang, he hoped that Du Yannian would intercede with Huo Guang, if it weren't for the abolition of the king of Changyi, Tian Yannian would not have said so smoothly by pressing his sword.

Du Yannian told Huo Guang, Huo Guang nodded, "Tian Yannian is a warrior. That time, he shouted in front of the court, shocking the court. Huo Guang became excited as he spoke, he raised a hand and hammered his chest and said, "Tian Yannian committed a crime, the most heart-wrenching thing is the old man, the old man is still sick because of this," Huo Guang coughed a few times, "Young man (Du Yannian), for the old man Xie Tian Da Doctor interceded for Tian Zibin, and asked him to transfer to Zibin and let him go to prison to listen to the trial, and he would not be wronged." ”

After speaking, Huo Guang's figure trembled a little. Du Yannian saw that Huo Guang had made up his mind, and it was difficult to disobey, so he could only hand the original words to Tian Guangming, the imperial historian.

Tian Guangming found Tian Yannian and told him what Huo Guang meant, but Tian Yannian refused to take the initiative to surrender, but said something meaningful, "Thank you for the court's forgiveness, but what face did I Tian Yannian have to go to prison, to make everyone laugh at him, and the jailer insulted him." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he left Tian Guangming there, and closed the door after returning home.

A few days later, the Tingwei Mansion sent someone to spread the word to Tian Yannian, Tian Yannian heard the drums of the Tingwei Mansion, and knew that he could not escape, so he could only end his life with a knife.

Although Liu Xun heard about Tian Yannian's corruption and suicide, he did not dare to participate from beginning to end, and let Huo Guang deal with it.

Officials can't be dealt with by themselves, so Liu Xun wants to find a breakthrough from other aspects

In May, Liu Xun issued an edict to worship Emperor Wu and increase the music of the temple. In the support and echo of the DPRK and China, someone stood up and ruined Liu Xun's big event, this person's name is Xiahou Sheng, he is appointed as Changxin Shaofu, he is a famous hard bone, Xiahou Sheng is not only hard bones, but also very knowledgeable, he founded the "Great Xiahou School", is a famous writer, politician.

Xiahou Sheng was already a doctor when he was Emperor Wu, and he proposed that "to be loyal to the country, to be benevolent for the people, and to be righteous for things." The upper is not to be served, and the lower is not to be bullied. Advocating decency and uprightness, disgusting evil ways and fallacies".

He opposed the pursuit of Emperor Wu because he believed that although Emperor Wu had expanded his territory and had great martial arts, he had made the country a place full of displaced people, thousands of miles of red land, the treasury was empty, and the people's livelihood was withered, so he should not be greatly admired.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted verbal criticism from the ministers, who bluntly said that Xiahou Sheng criticized the edict, slandered the first emperor, and wanted to punish the crime of disrespect.

But Xiahou Sheng didn't mean to admit his guilt at all, he also let out his words, as a courtier, he had to say it bluntly, since he said it himself, then he would not change his words even if he died.

Although Liu Xun praised Xiahou Sheng as a man in his heart, he couldn't blatantly express it, because this edict was issued by him, and it was also his meaning, Jun had no jokes, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to be ready to kick Xiahou Sheng.

Because the prime minister and the imperial historian have already played, not only to treat Xiahou Sheng, but also to treat Huang Ba's crimes, Huang Ba intends to connive at Xiahou Sheng.

Liu Xun saw that he was actually involved with Huang Ba, and he immediately understood everything.

Huang Ba was single-handedly pulled up by him, and now he is implicated because of this matter, and the reason is self-evident.

Ginger is still old and spicy, you can't accept it.

Liu Xun had no choice but to issue an edict to put Xiahou Sheng and Huang Ba in prison.

Although Liu Xun appreciates them, there is nothing he can do at present, and he can only protect their lives.

Xiahou Sheng and Huang Ba became cellmates, and it was also a beautiful thing to stay away from the struggle between the DPRK and China, and they talked about scriptures and Taoism in prison, refuted their knowledge, and sharpened their edges and corners for the glory of the future.

Compared with the leisurely sedness of the two courtiers, Liu Xun's nightmare was approaching without warning.
