At this time, the tea in the teapot was about to burn out, and there was a sizzling sound in the clay pot.

Liu He didn't answer Huo Guang's words, and hurriedly shouted outside the hall: "Fan Ke, refill the water!" ”

Fan Ke pushed the door open and began to add water to the teapot that was starting to look low.

After a short time, this little insider withdrew.

"Middle father, you need soft water to make tea, and the so-called soft water is clean water, like well water and dew...... And the best thing is the snow water on the snowy mountains......"

Liu He told the story, seemingly making tea, but in fact he was giving himself some time to find an excuse to turn around.

This marriage is not easy to get married.

Because this is not as simple as choosing a concubine, but a matter of heirs.

Judging from Huo Guang's treatment of Emperor Xiaozhao, he must only want Huo Chengjun to give birth to an heir.

Once Huo Chengjun gave birth to an heir, the Huo family had one more card in their hand.

The situation Liu He has to face is even more complicated.

What's even more terrifying is that once Huo Chengjun has an heir, then Liu He will be dispensable.

Maybe he will die unexplained one day, and the Han Dynasty will also enter the situation of "the young emperor is in power" at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

Liu He came to let the Han change his way of life, not to let the Han go back to the old way, or even take the old way in advance.

What's more, even if Liu He waited smoothly for Huo Guang for a hundred years and took over the power of the Han Dynasty.

What about Huo Chengjun and her heirs?

Huo Guang can live, and the Huo family can't stay - unless they retreat bravely, but it seems unlikely.

Could it be that at that time, Liu He really wants to act like Emperor Xiaowen?

Emperor Xiaowen was ruthless enough, Liu He didn't know if he was so ruthless.

……

After pouring another cup of tea for Huo Guang, Liu He slowly spoke: "Father Zhong, is this matter too hasty, Emperor Xiaozhao collapsed, and he has just been buried, and I will choose a concubine to stand up, I am afraid that it will be discussed by the world." ”

Huo Guang took a sip of tea, he thought that the Son of Heaven would happily agree, after all, this matter seemed to be an appetite for the Son of Heaven.

"The Son of Heaven is a great trip, only need to keep filial piety for 27 days, the inheritance of the temple is the most important thing, filial piety is a small filial piety, and leaving an heir for the Han is the great filial piety and filial piety."

With filial piety, Huo Guang moved the word filial piety out, and he had already suppressed Liu He.

After hesitating for a while, Liu He finally didn't think of any good way, so he had to nod and say: "Everything is arranged by the middle father, but the number of concubines should not be too much, three or five people are enough, so as not to be discussed."

"The old minister understands."

After the establishment is established, as long as the heir is not born, it can be delayed for a day, Liu He has experience in this area, and it must not be difficult to drag it for a year and a half.

What's more, didn't Huo Chengjun in history have no heirs left? Maybe she couldn't have children.

In addition, after standing, Liu He can also be bolder, and his steps can be faster.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on how it works.

……

Liu He suffered a dark loss, and Huo Guang got the benefits.

But Liu He couldn't just forget it, he had to take advantage of this Huo Guang's pleasure and reach out to Huo Guang to ask for something.

"Father Zhong, the Queen Mother has now moved to Changle Palace, how should the concubines left in the palace by the first emperor be placed?"

From the perspective of the patriarchal system, these concubines are Liu He's concubines, but they are about the same age as Liu He.

These women of the first emperor, staying in the palace, are a spark after all, and they may burn to their bodies at any time.

One of the reasons for the abolition of the king of Changyi in history was that he committed adultery with the palace people left by Emperor Xiaozhao.

These dark pits must be filled in advance.

"How does Your Majesty think it should be placed?"

"The concubines of the first emperor are all my concubines, but it is always inconvenient to stay in Weiyang Palace, I think that all the palace people who have served the first emperor and move to Changle Palace with the queen mother, it is the most suitable thing, they can also play with the queen mother in their spare time, presumably it can also make the queen mother's illness heal sooner."

"Your Majesty is reasonable and thoughtful, it is really rare, and the old minister will tell Shaofu and Taichang about this."

Liu He nodded.

These things are not enough, Liu He wants more things.

"In the past, when I was in Changyi Kingdom, I wasted a lot of time, Wang Fu and Gong Sui they picked eight or nine Lang officials and confessors to accompany me to study, I came in a hurry before, I didn't say that they brought them, can I edict Wang Fu and them to Chang'an, continue to serve as my Lang officials, what does my middle father think?"

Eight or nine Lang officials who have not yet been crowned can't change the sky, and it's a good thing that the Son of Heaven wants to study, Huo Guang touched his beautiful hair and nodded and agreed.

At this point, the first meeting between the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and the Invisible Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty ended.

Huo Guang got what he wanted, and Liu He didn't go home empty-handed.

I just don't know who gets what it gets in the end, which can play a decisive role.

……

Huo Guang said goodbye to Liu He, left the Xuan Room satisfied, and walked towards the Shangshu Department.

The weather on this day was very good, and the sky was as blue as a jewel of foreign tribute, and the rooftops of the halls of Weiyang Palace were in perfect harmony.

Let this palace, which already has some twilight, exude new vitality.

When passing by the Jiaofang Palace, Huo Guang saw people coming and going from a distance, and it seemed to be very lively and busy.

It should be that the slave is packing up the utensils and luggage for the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

From the queen to the queen mother, the difference of one word is more noble.

But the Empress Dowager Shangguan is about to go from the Yang Palace to the Changle Palace, which looks infinitely beautiful, but who can understand the desolation and suffering.

The long road is long for decades, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan is probably destined to be lonely.

Huo Guang looked at it for a long time, until he saw the familiar figure, and walked to the front of the hall with the support of the maidservant, he felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly continued to rush in the direction of the Shang Shu Department.

Not long after, Huo Guang came to the Shangshu Office, and the volumes of books were already placed on the several cases where Huo Guang usually sits.

There are about dozens of scholars and attendants in the Shangshu Department, most of whom are under the corridor outside the Shangshu Office, and a few of them handle paperwork in the small pavilions around the Shangshu Department.

As for the main room of the Shangshu Department, it was the place where Huo Guang and his ministers discussed important matters in the court.

Here, without Huo Guang's warrant, even the prime minister and the imperial doctor would not enter without permission.

Every day, Huo Guang spent half of his time reviewing the recitals and half of his time discussing state affairs with the officials he had summoned

All the important matters of the Han Empire would first be gathered in the Shangshu Bureau, and after a symbolic court discussion, then after Huo Guang's review, ruling, and seal of the Son of Heaven, they would finally be sent to different prefectures and counties.

Therefore, whatever the Son of Heaven wants to do, he can't get around Huo Guang, the Lingshang scholar.

Today, when Huo Guang came to the Shangshu Office, there were already several ministers waiting for him.

They are the chariot general Zhang Anshi, the general of Duliao Fan Mingyou, the former general Han Zeng, the later general Zhao Chongguo, plus the Dasi Farmland Yannian, who is in charge of the wealth of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Guang summoned them in the Shangshu Office this time because the Han was going to war again.

When everyone saw Huo Guang, they immediately stood up in unison.

"Sit down, don't be formal."

"Yui!"

As soon as a few people sat down, Huo Guangjiu took out the letter for help from Wusun Country that he received yesterday and handed it to several people to read one by one.

Everyone read it one by one, and their faces became solemn.
