Chapter 218: The Old Man Allows His Majesty to Participate in Political Affairs (Ask for Subscription)

Huo Xian's pillow wind once again played a huge role.

In the early morning of the next day, Huo Guang, who was in a better mood, entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven.

This time, he decided to listen to Huo Xian's advice and decided to try to give the Son of Heaven a little bit of power in the court.

In this way, not only can the Son of Heaven trust him more, but he can also trap the Son of Heaven in some trivial things.

Creating a false atmosphere for the Son of Heaven to be a Ming Jun is more conducive to confusing the Son of Heaven and then controlling the Son of Heaven.

When Huo Guang was confident in the Xuanshu Palace, he saw several exquisite lacquer boxes on the several cases in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Father Zhong came at the right time, I recently invented a kind of food, and I want Father Zhong to taste it first."

"Well, did Your Majesty come up with it again?" Huo Guang did not criticize the Son of Heaven as harshly as before, but changed to a more gentle tone.

Huo Xian was right, it is better to let the Son of Heaven have something to do than to let the Son of Heaven be idle.

Leisure is a matter of life, and idleness is a change.

Soon, Liu He couldn't wait to open the lacquer boxes, which were divided into different small people, containing moon cakes made by the chef he instructed in the dining room.

In order to save on processes and materials, the fillings are mung bean minced and red bean minced with honey.

Although the taste is relatively monotonous, the taste of the crispy crust and sugared cake in Dahan, which has not yet been popularized, is already unique.

"Father, take a taste."

Huo Guang picked up a piece in disbelief, took a small bite, and chewed it carefully.

"Father, how does it taste?"

"Well, the entrance is dense and delicate, with a special oil aroma, and the filling in the belly is sweet, melts in the mouth, and makes people ...... aftertaste."

Huo Guang is not only an auxiliary minister, but also a leading figure of the wealthy family in Chang'an.

Not to mention the annual rent issued to him by the imperial court and the land rent provided by the fiefdom, nor the property given to him by his cronies, just the annual reward from the Son of Heaven can allow the Huo family to enjoy the richest material life in the Han Empire.

As the patriarch of the Huo family, Huo Guang is naturally quite particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Such a well-informed person can certainly eat the difference of moon cakes.

There are several differences between moon cakes and today's Dahan cakes, one is that the flour is completely fermented, which can make the taste more soft; The second is to fry the puff pastry with oil, which is even more fragrant.

Liu He made this thing, of course, not only to satisfy his own appetite, but also to change the way of life of the Han people.

For example, when making cakes, they have to be fermented, for example, they are replaced with more digestible flour for indigestible millet – when there is a demand, someone will find a way to grow and improve it.

The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace.

Although it is a sarcasm, it also proves that many lifestyle improvements are driven by the upper class rulers.

"Father, do you think this thing looks like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Liu He said.

"Well, when Your Majesty said this, he did have a bit of imagination."

"In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is full and the cake is also short, I think the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most suitable time to eat moon cakes."

"When the time comes, I will order the chefs in the palace to make more moon cakes, and reward the courtiers and palace people with some, so that they can have fun with the people.

After Liu He finished speaking, he deliberately pointed to the bottom box and said: "This last box is printed with different patterns, which I specially gave to Chengjun's sister, and Lao Zhong's father also brought it all the way back and turned to my thoughts." ”

Now when it comes to this kind of flattering words, Liu He has no pressure at all, he is very calm every sentence, and the whole person has entered a state of mutual affection.

And this did play a role, Huo Guang looked at the sincerity on the face of the Son of Heaven, and yesterday's unhappiness was immediately left behind.

The Son of Heaven is like his own son and nephew, and he naturally wants to surpass his father, which is understandable.

And he knows that one day he will return the government to the Son of Heaven, but it is still too early.

When the Son of Heaven and Huo Chengjun give birth to an heir, and are made the crown prince again, the country will be stable at that time, and he will naturally let the Son of Heaven govern himself.

Today, Huo Guang plans to first distribute the small part of the power that is not very important in the government to the Son of Heaven, so as not to be too distracted.

Huo Guang put down the moon cake that had taken two bites, and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the Mid-Autumn Festival will be put aside for the time being, the old man has an important matter to discuss with His Majesty." ”

"Father Zhong, during this time, I participated in the matter of the temple number, and participated in the first imperial examination, I feel very tired, and I don't want to participate in the court anymore in recent days."

What Liu He said is not a lie, he has been moving too much recently, although he has secured the throne, he is still worried that Huo Guang will be suspicious.

Therefore, he decided to spend the next few months to be a little more restrained, away from the court, and do something else.

At least until the Han army goes on the march, he won't have any more suggestions.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, although Your Majesty has acted in a bit haste in the past few months, but the two things mentioned just now have been done very well, presumably after the pro-government, Your Majesty will definitely be a Ming Jun like Emperor Xiaowu."

For some reason, Liu He smelled a strange smell.

Today's Huo Guang doesn't seem to be as domineering as usual, and it doesn't seem to be as strict as usual.

This kind of Huo Guang made Liu He a little uncomfortable.

"What is the middle father going to discuss with me today?"

Huo Guang coughed lightly twice, and said very seriously: "Although Your Majesty has not yet reached the age of pro-government, since he has the talent and ideas to govern political affairs, the old man should not stand in the way......"

"After thinking about it, the old man felt that His Majesty should be given the opportunity to participate in the affairs of the court, and the right should be to share some responsibilities for the old man."

Liu He's heart jumped wildly, could it be that this general has changed his personality and wants to hand over the government to himself in advance?

If this is really the case, then the Huo family can land safely, and it will not be infamous as a murderer.

But before Liu He could excuse himself, the little flame that had just been bred was extinguished by Huo Guang's next few words.

"Your Majesty can speak freely in the court on the one hand, and on the other hand, you can choose some specific things to govern."

"In this way, although the overall situation of the court is still in charge of the old man, His Majesty can also participate in it and accumulate some experience."

Liu He immediately saw through Huo Guang's intentions.

This old fox seems to have no choice but to deal with himself for the time being, so he wants to distract himself with some trivial things.

This idea is good, but Huo Guang miscalculated a little.

Today's four more 10,000 words, this is the first update!
