Chapter 120: Delaying the Regime, Worshipping the High Temple, and Standing Early (Seeking Follow-up)

Huo Guang came to Liu He today, not only for Huo Chengjun's marriage, but also for some other things to say.

Even if he wants to make Huo Chengjun the queen, he can't say it.

He could only open his head slightly, and then the other officials in charge of the matter would mention it, otherwise it would be a little too ugly.

No matter how powerful Huo Guang is, he is also a courtier, and there are some rules that cannot be tampered with.

Among the several things to talk about today, the most important thing is the matter of the Son of Heaven's pro-government - a few days ago, at the Great Court Conference, the Son of Heaven just didn't let himself be a minister, and he didn't talk about the pro-government matter.

Since the Son of Heaven said that "the middle father assists the government", Huo Guang decided to follow the words of the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty is now nineteen years old, and the crowning ceremony will be performed next year, and by then, Your Majesty will be able to govern in person, and naturally you can't spend time on these trivial matters."

When Liu He heard this, his heart tightened, he didn't expect that this cautious Huo Guang would test himself again and again.

"Why did the middle father say this, could it be that I did something wrong and broke the middle father's heart, so that the middle father wanted to abandon me twice in a row? On that day, it was very clear at the court meeting that I would not allow my middle father to leave the court. Liu He said anxiously.

"Your Majesty is serious, Your Majesty is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and after being crowned, he will naturally be pro-government."

"Then why did Emperor Xiaozhao fail to govern himself after he was crowned?"

Liu He's face did not change, and his eyes were full of innocence, but this "unintentional words" made Huo Guang's heart feel a tingling and guilt.

Yes, why didn't he let Emperor Xiaozhao take charge of the government?

More than a year ago, Emperor Xiaozhao performed the coronation ceremony, and he did propose to return to the government of Emperor Xiaozhao.

Emperor Xiaozhao refused on the grounds that he was weak and sick, and after that, he never mentioned that he wanted to return to the emperor.

For this reason, in the corner under the court, there are always some people who say that he Huo Guang is greedy for power.

But what can Huo Guang do, Emperor Xiaozhao is indeed frail and sickly, and the political affairs in the court are complicated, so he can't let go.

"At that time, Emperor Xiaozhao was frail and sick, and he couldn't do political affairs, otherwise the old minister would have returned to his hometown to recuperate."

"Your Majesty's Holy Sacrament is safe, and after the crowning next year, you will naturally be able to govern in person."

Huo Guang spoke frankly, without any guilt on his face.

"Father Zhong is wrong about something, I am only sixteen this year, and there are still four years before I can be crowned pro-government."

Liu He's face had a smug look, and Huo Guang immediately understood the reason.

"Changing the age, that's just to make it okay in name, pro-government is a big deal, how can it be taken seriously?" Huo Guang said.

"But how can this be true, if it has been written on the genealogy?" Liu He asked rhetorically, "What's more, I have never been in contact with the government, and I can't even recognize the three dukes and nine secretaries, so if I am pro-government, doesn't that mean that I want to make a fool of myself?" ”

"The old minister can assist from the side, but the big things should be in the hands of His Majesty." Huo Guang took a step forward.

"Father Zhong doesn't need to persuade me anymore, in the past four years, I don't have to mention the matter of pro-government again, I still want to spend a few more years of idle life, read more scriptures, and learn more from the ancients If politics, all the affairs of the government are decided by the middle father, and there is Lao Zhongfu."

"If Father Zhong really wants me to be in power as soon as possible, it is better to let me start by reading the recitals of hundreds of officials in the past few years, so that it is safer."

Liu He didn't give Huo Guang another chance to resign, so he stood up and bowed.

Huo Guangben didn't really want to return to power, and his heart was naturally relaxed, but he also stood up immediately, bowed down and solemnly returned the salute.

In the midst of this worship, the framework of power for the next few years of the Han Dynasty was setβ€”at least on the surface.

When Huo Guang got up again and sat down on the couch, he was even more satisfied with the Son of Heaven in front of him.

is in better health than the Son of Daxing, more playful than the Son of Daxing, and respects himself as much as the Son of Daxing.

It seems that he really didn't choose the wrong person.

After pondering for a few breaths, Huo Guang decided to let the Son of Heaven worship the high temple.

"Your Majesty, although the enthronement ceremony has ended, there is still one thing that cannot be delayed."

"What?" Liu He vaguely guessed.

"Worship the high temple."

If this was the case, Liu He suddenly found that it was not particularly difficult to deal with Huo Guang.

Huo Guang is indeed a little arrogant, but he is not unreasonable.

As long as it doesn't touch his core interests, then Huo Guang is willing to repay the favor.

You have to make Huo Guang feel safe, he feels safe, and he is safe.

"Worship the high temple? Gao Miao is in Chang'an City, why did the middle father specifically mention this matter? Liu He asked knowingly.

Huo Guang smiled with a rare and kind smile: "After the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he had to go to the high temple to worship Emperor Taizu and sue himself about inheriting the temple. ”

Liu He pretended to have a sudden realization on his face, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, so that even if Huo Guang wanted to abolish himself again, he had to weigh his own weight well.

"It's all up to my middle father."

"After the old minister consults with Taichang and Shaofu, he will report this matter to His Majesty, which should be this month."

Liu He nodded, pretending not to care.

"Father Zhong, when it comes to this temple, I still don't know anything."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Why is the temple number of Emperor Gao Taizu, the temple number of Emperor Xiaowen is Taizong, and Emperor Xiaohui, Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Xiaowu do not have temple numbers?"

As soon as Liu He's words came out, Huo Guang's expression, which was still very gentle just now, disappeared and turned solemn.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that all generations of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty have temples, but the temple number is not available to every Son of Heaven, and only those who have immortal merits can be posthumously honored for the Jiangshan Sheji."

"I see." Liu He said thoughtfully.

Although he didn't ask anything more, Liu He had already thought about what to do next, and there was an article to do about chasing the temple number - it was good for himself and good for Huo Guang.

At this time, half of the tea had been drunk, and the two most important things, Huo Guang had already finished speaking, and Huo Guang was very satisfied with the results of these two things.

Then, only the "lifelong event" of his little daughter Huo Chengjun remains.

After drinking another cup of tea, Huo Guang finally figured out how to speak.

"Your Majesty, the pro-government matter can be postponed, but there is another matter that Your Majesty needs to think about."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The harmony of yin and yang, the continuation of heirs, is really a major event related to heaven, earth and man, Emperor Xiaozhao suddenly collapsed, and the court was unstable, the reason is that there are no heirs." After Huo Guang beat around the bush, he finally got to the point, "Your Majesty should choose a concubine." ”

Liu He was stunned at first, and then he was happy, did the drama of the harem come so soon?

When the emperor has a public heart and a selfish heart, the public heart is to let the Han and the Han people change their way of life, and selfishness is of course to enrich the harem.

It's hard work, so what's wrong with enjoying it.

Just when Liu He wanted to get into trouble, he saw Huo Guang's deep eyes, and it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

All illusions vanished in an instant - he was just a puppet, and every step was dangerous.

Emperor Xiaozhao can't decide who he wants to pamper, and he can't decide who he wants to make the queen.

I'm afraid that I can only set up Huo Guang's youngest daughter Huo Chengjun.

Liu He suddenly remembered a story, the male mantis and the female mantis were newly married overnight, and on the second day, the male mantis was eaten, and on the third day, the female mantis gave birth to a baby mantis.

There is a knife on the head of the color character, and the knife on Liu He's head is not just a knife, it is simply a dragon head.
