In the past, when the court meeting was over, Huo Guang would deal with some things in the book in the Shangshu Bureau, or stay in the Xuanshu Hall to mention a few words about the Son of Heaven.

But today is completely different from the past, Huo Guang, who has an iron face, left Weiyang Palace in a carriage and returned to the Great General's Mansion.

When he returned to the mansion, he did not stay in the main hall, but went straight back to the study in the back house.

Along the way, no matter whether he met a subordinate or a slave, Huo Guang always had a black face.

Huo Guang was in a bad mood, naturally because he was opposed by everyone in the court today.

In the past few years, it has been rare to meet those who dared to oppose him in the past, but now the tree on the grave has been hugged thickly.

But this time, Huo Guang didn't have the intention to kill, because the person who "opposed" him was the Son of Heaven.

For the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang had an indescribable feeling, blocked in his chest, depressed and unable to express it.

Before Huo Guang could figure out the reason, Huo Xian pushed the door and came in.

Huo Xian is the mother of the Huo family, and she has a lot of eyeliner in the house, and as soon as Huo Guang came back, someone passed the news to Huo Xian.

After Huo Xian entered the door, he saw Huo Guang's gloomy face, and immediately understood that his husband must have encountered something in the court today.

"Husband, isn't today's court discussion going well?" Huo Xian sat opposite Huo Guang and asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Huo Guang still didn't speak.

"Husband, there are no outsiders here, if you encounter something, you can talk to the concubine, maybe the concubine can give you ideas and ideas."

Looking at Huo Xian's empathetic appearance, Huo Guang's mood eased slightly.

After a moment of silence, he said what was on the agenda of today's small court. In the end, he even expressed some of his grievances against the Son of Heaven.

"The county magistrate doesn't seem to be at ease, although he can't find fault with what he does, but it always catches the old man off guard." Huo Guang said this last sentence.

"Oh? What do you say? ”

"Whether it's going to the temple for Emperor Xiaowu, or getting this imperial examination, it takes a lot of courage to do these things, the key is that the county officials have done it in the end, and the county officials don't look like a crazy person."

"The husband is worried that the county officials are "repairing the plank road in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark?" Huo Xian asked.

Huo Guang nodded.

In the small study, there was a hint of cold murder.

"Could it be that the husband thinks too much, not to mention other things, that day's family banquet, His Majesty treated our family of four quite cordially and respectfully, and did not see the slightest abnormality......"

"The old man is afraid of this, what if the county official is a thoughtful person?"

Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu, which one is not a thoughtful person. Huo Guang is suspicious by nature, and once he becomes suspicious, the more he thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes.

He felt more and more that the Son of Heaven was not as cowardly as he seemed.

If it is said that Emperor Xiaowu is given the temple number, it is just a whim.

During that time, he suddenly proposed the method of the imperial examination, and he could arrange everything in an orderly manner, that is, he came prepared.

If the Son of Heaven is an emperor with a deep city like Emperor Xiaowen, then ......

Huo Guang didn't dare to think about it, and suddenly felt some chills in his neck.

He expressed his worries, but he never thought that Huo Xian, who was usually more cautious than him, didn't care.

"Husband, the county officials have some city governments and scheming, isn't it a normal thing, there are so many princes and kings in the Han Dynasty, which one doesn't have a little city government?"

Madame has a point, and goes on. Huo Guang felt that there was something new in this statement.

"Husband, you can think about it, what the county officials have done, is there anything that really makes my Huo family suffer?"

Huo Guang pondered, in addition to making his heart depressed in the court today, what the Son of Heaven did not damage the Huo family, but gained a lot of benefits.

"But the county official seems to want to interfere in the government...... Huo Guang is concerned about this matter.

"If the county official wants to interfere in the government affairs, it is also a normal thing, sitting on the throne, who might not want to interfere in the government affairs?"

"Don't forget, that's the county official of the Han Dynasty, who participates in the court all day long, how can he not be interested in the government, a person in his teens, he wants to play a horse when he gets a horse, and suddenly he gets the whole world, and he always wants to make trouble."

Huo Xian said, Huo Guang seemed to have some understanding, he remembered some things that the Son of Heaven did when he was still the king of Changyi, and felt that what Huo Xian said was reasonable and well-founded.

"The concubine has a presumptuous word, I don't know if I should say it?"

"Between you and me, be honest with each other, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Today's Son of Heaven and Emperor Xiaozhao are probably different, Emperor Xiaozhao grew up under the watchful eye of his husband, and he is naturally obedient to his husband, but this Son of Heaven is wild, wild and untamable, and he can't be as strong as he treats the Son of Filial Piety."

"Then do you want the county magistrate to continue to mess around like this, in case one day it ......?" Huo Guang's words revealed his dissatisfaction with the Son of Heaven, but he did not find the disobedience in his words.

"Dayu controls the water, it should be sparse and not blocked."

The nine words that Huo Xianhou said made Huo Guang silent, and it seemed to be a good way to be sparse and not blocked.

"The husband can give some power to the Son of Heaven, if it is some small things, then throw it to the county officials to learn how to govern, as long as the husband is in control of the overall situation of the court, even if the county officials want to mess around again, then they can't turn the sky upside down."

"For now, the important thing for the husband is to elect a suitable head of the hundred officials, and even more so to let Fan Mingyou, Yu'er and Huoshan brothers make great contributions to the Xiongnu in the coming year, which is the top priority."

"If you share the imperial power with the county officials appropriately, the county officials will trust the husband more."

The stagnant air in the study relaxed slightly, Huo Guang's frowning brows calmed down somewhat, and his resentment towards the Son of Heaven dissipated a lot.

"Today's court, Liu De and others are against me, and even Le Cheng and others have not stood up, this is the thing that worries my husband the most."

It is impossible for Huo Guang to exclusively enjoy all the power of the Han court, and he must rely on his henchmen to control the court.

Although it is said that the sons and nephews of the Huo family have a place in Chang'an, only Fan Mingyou can really enter the house.

And he is a military general, and there is not much room to speak in court politics.

Therefore, Huo Guang still needs a group of people to control the situation in the court for himself, and these people are the bloodless "Huo Party".

On weekdays, as long as they speak, Le Cheng, Tian Yannian and others will definitely echo them, but today they hid one by one.

"Then it's even more impossible to blame the county officials, if you want to blame Tian Yannian, they naturally want to take refuge in the past when they see the new emperor coming to power."

"The husband has to beat them, lest they forget who is the real one who has the final say in the court at this moment."

Huo Xian said it explicitly, but Huo Guang didn't feel disobedient, but listened to it.

"Husband, don't forget, Cheng Jun is already the queen of the county officials, and the county officials are also their own people after all, so Tian Yannian and they have to beat it."

Huo Guang chewed Huo Xian's words carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

After all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, even if he wants to do something to prove that he is a Ming Jun, it is understandable.

Taking a step back, although he Huo Guang is an auxiliary minister, there is nothing he can do with the Son of Heaven.

You can't abolish the Son of Heaven and set up a new king, right?
