After the closure, it finally came to an end.

Although Huo Chengjun and others have not yet entered the palace, they are nominally already the concubines of the Son of Heaven.

For this result, Liu He is actually very satisfied.

Not only did he have another layer of security for his throne, but he also didn't have to face the strife of the harem for the time being—let alone think about how to do Dunlun's affairs, and not let his concubines conceive such boudoir things as an heir.

So, that's pretty much the best outcome.

As a result, Huo Guang is not only Liu He's middle father, but also his father-in-law.

It's just that in order to show some respect, Liu He still calls Huo Guang his middle father.

A son-in-law is equal to half a son, and Liu He did not let go of this opportunity.

As soon as he stretched out his big hand, he asked for something generously like his father-in-law.

"Father Zhong, when I first entered the palace, I said that I wanted to pick more Lang officials and middle doctors to accompany me to study, but those Lang officials in Changyi Country have limited knowledge, I'm afraid they are not as good as me?"

Liu He grinned and complained, and at the same time handed Huo Guang in front of him a piece of plain silk, on which were always written the names of dozens of people.

"Gong Sui has often come to Chang'an before, and he is quite familiar with the Shilin in Chang'an, this is the list he drew up for me today, they are all children of various families who study well, I want to recruit them all to the palace and accompany me to study."

"Does Father Zhong think this is feasible?"

Huo Guang took the silk paper, and the names of about twenty or thirty people were written on it, and most people Huo Guang recognized it.

These young people are about 20 years old, and they have a good reputation in Chang'an, although there are many of Liu De, Zhao Chongguo and their sons and nephews, but they are not particularly conspicuous, and their level of Bible reading is indeed outstanding.

The Son of Heaven wanted to study, but Huo Guang had no reason to refuse.

What's more, Huo Guang felt in his heart that these young people who had not yet been crowned would not play a role in the court situation.

"Well, Gong Sui's vision is good, and the young man and old man on it also know a little bit about it, they are all virtuous people, Your Majesty has them to accompany him to study, and his knowledge must be able to improve day by day."

"Then I have to ask my middle father to help me draft an edict and send it out."

Liu He raised his eyebrows, and let himself have more people who are not from the Huo Party, which may not play a big role, but at least he can have more people to cover up.

However, Liu He not only wanted to accompany Dr. Lang Guan, but also wanted some teachers to teach him to read.

In fact, there is no shortage of teachers to teach the Son of Heaven in Weiyang Palace.

For example, Xiahou Sheng, the Changxin Shaofu who nominally manages the Changle Palace, is a seventy-year-old Confucian.

This old Confucian actually has something to do with Liu He, because Xiahou Sheng's teacher is Jian Qing, a disciple of Xiahou Shichang, a Confucian in the Western Han Dynasty, and Xiahou Shichang once served as a prince for a short time for Liu Ji, the king of Changyi.

So in the final analysis, Xiahou Sheng and Liu He's "father" Liu Ji are from the same school.

However, Liu He didn't want a teacher like Xiahou Sheng, he could understand this kind of thing by himself, and he was not even inferior to Xiahou Sheng.

There is no need to stuff a few more old Confucians into Weiyang Palace.

Therefore, what Liu He wants is a teacher who can teach him to be familiar with the government and politics.

said that he wanted to be familiar with the government affairs, but in fact, Liu He wanted to quietly intervene in the government in this way.

Speaking of which, it is a sensitive matter, and Liu He can't say it directly, lest Huo Guang become suspicious.

"Father Zhong, I also want you to come to the Qingliang Hall every day to talk to me about the affairs of the Han court, after several court discussions, I was confused when I heard it, and I felt that everything was complicated, for fear that I would lose my honor in the court meeting and be ridiculed by the ministers."

"Besides, after four or five years, if the middle father really wants to return to power, then I will have to learn more."

When Liu He said this, his eyes were full of innocence and romance.

Even if he said the word "return to government", he still limited the time to a few years later, so Huo Guang was quite satisfied.

not only gave Huo Guang face, but also gave Huo Guanglizi.

"There is a Changxin Shaofu Xiahou Sheng in the palace, and he also knows very well the responsibilities and laws and regulations of the various offices of the Han Dynasty, and His Majesty can let him enter the palace to teach."

"No, no, no, although Xiahou Sheng is familiar with the rules and regulations, he ......" Liu He thought for a while, and borrowed a sentence from later generations and said, "It is shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to do it." ”

Huo Guang listened to it, but he didn't react, when he tasted the subtlety of this sentence, he couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, and feel more happy with the flattery of the Son of Heaven.

"Father Zhong has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, so he naturally understands more than Xiahou Sheng, and he must explain it more thoroughly, why, does Father Zhong think that I am stupid and unwilling to accept this disciple?"

"The old minister doesn't dare, it's just ......" Huo Guang paused, and then said, "In the past six months, the government has been busy, and the old minister may not be able to get out." ”

"Then it doesn't take an hour, half an hour is enough, the middle father can always take out half an hour, just let Zhang Anshi and the prime minister do the things in the court, otherwise, the middle father will simply come to me as a master!"

The more Liu He spoke, the more energetic he became, and Huo Guang was also made to laugh by the Son of Heaven's somewhat incomprehensible words.

Yes, if you can be a master for the Son of Heaven and only teach the Son of Heaven, it will also be a good experience.

Huo Guang's eyes appeared in front of the scene when Emperor Xiaowu entrusted Gu, and he suddenly thought of something in his heart, was it Emperor Xiaowu's original intention to let him teach the Son of Heaven, instead of ruling on behalf of the Son of Heaven?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang felt a little weak, and he vigorously threw this thought to the back of his mind.

"Your Majesty, there are so many things in the government, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old man to spare so much time."

"Alas, since the middle father has worked hard, then let's slow down this matter......" Liu He's face was full of disappointment and loneliness, but his ears were extraordinarily focused.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the old man has a way, but the dilemma can be solved."

Liu He's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise: "Father Zhong, tell me quickly, what is the solution?" ”

"Most of the affairs of the court are directly responsible for Jiuqing and Lieqing, they know more about the affairs of the court, the old man can talk to them, let them teach His Majesty, Your Majesty sees that this is feasible."

That's great!!

Now although Liu He has become the emperor and the master of Weiyang Palace, his opportunities to contact the ministers are limited to the big court and the small court.

If there are too many people, the feelings will be dispersed, and the team will not be easy to lead.

It was difficult for Liu He to have the opportunity to cultivate his personal relationship with his ministers, let alone quietly intervene in court politics.

But with the title of teaching, Liu He could contact the courtiers openly.

Naturally, you can also use suggestions to intervene in some unimportant government affairs in the court.

Reform is imperative, and it cannot be delayed, and every day there should be one day at a time.

Although he was very excited in his heart, Liu He pretended to be as good as ever: "Alas, how can Jiuqing and Lieqing be compared with Zhong's father, but Zhong's father is too busy sorting out the government, so he has to do it." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, once the old minister is free, he will definitely come to the Qingliang Hall more often to discuss the government with His Majesty."

"So very good, Shu County has just paid tribute to a batch of Shu brocade, I ordered someone to send some to the Shangshu Department, after the middle father dispersed, remember to bring it back to Chengjun." Liu He said shyly like an ordinary young man.

Huo Guang smiled kindly, very satisfied. Liu He is also very satisfied, and the prelude to reform is about to begin.
