Chapter 227: Using Huo Guang's Pot to Cook My Rice (Ask for Subscription)
While speaking, Wang Shi finally passed through the defense line formed by Yu Lin Lang.
Under the car, there was already a young man standing, none other than Liu He, the son of the Han Dynasty.
The Son of Heaven got out of the car to greet him, it was a great honor, and the king relied on the old and sold the old, or he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed.
But Liu He was even quicker and held Wang Shi steadily.
"Wang Fu doesn't need to be polite, a few months ago, I said that I would meet you again in Chang'an City, Wang Fu didn't believe it at the time, it seems that I am still accurate."
Liu He's "I" one after another made Wang Shi even more emotional, this Son of Heaven already has the appearance of the Son of Heaven, and it seems that his original worries are superfluous.
"Your Majesty has insight, and the old minister doesn't dare to compare." Wang Shi said, there seemed to be some crystals swirling in his cloudy eyes, and I am afraid that in a moment, he will be in tears.
"Wang Fu, you and I are all right now, you shouldn't be so sad." Liu He said with relief.
"Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is right." Wang Shi hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
"Come, Wang Fu get in the car, ride with me, and go to Weiyang Palace together."
Riding with the Son of Heaven is different from ordinary escorts, it is the supreme glory, the king did not dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.
"The old man is immoral and incompetent, Your Majesty's move is Meng Lang, and the mouth of Youyou is the most guarded, I am afraid that it will be discussed."
"Where is Wang Fu, you are worthy of riding with me, not to mention that I have been in Chang'an for a few months, and I have done more than one thing about Meng Lang, not much more than this, and a lot less than this, Wang Fu wants to refuse again, but it will make me feel cold."
Wang Shi no longer refused, and finally nodded with relief.
Liu He helped Wang Shi to board the car, and after Wang Shi sat down, he said to Xue Ti very magnificently: "Xue Ti, let's go!" ”
"No!"
……
From Changyi County to Chang'an City, it took more than half a month for more than a thousand miles, and the already old Wang Shi was even more dusty and slightly embarrassed.
Looking at it hastily, he is no different from an ordinary old Confucian in the countryside at this moment, standing on the left side of the Son of Heaven's Anche, which is even more abrupt.
An car entered from the city gate and drove quickly along the city street in the direction of Weiyang Palace, attracting pedestrians on the side of the road to stop and watch.
The people and officials in Chang'an are well-informed, and naturally know that it is the Son of Heaven who is passing by, but they still keep guessing, who is the old man next to the Son of Heaven?
I'm afraid that it won't take half a day for Wang Shi, an old Confucian who lives in Changyi City, to become the talk of Chang'an people, and I don't know how many bizarre versions of his identity have been deduced.
Wang Shi stood on the safety car, holding the horizontal wood in front of the safety car, and couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.
For Confucianism, being recruited by the Son of Heaven with an car is the supreme glory and the lifelong wish of every Confucian who wants to contribute to the country.
The royal style is certainly no exception.
However, more than ten years ago, Wang Shi had already dispelled this year, and he never had such a dream again.
I never thought that when I was in my last years, I could ride with the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven respectfully called himself "Wang Fu", how could such a situation make him not fluttering?
The grace of knowing the encounter, but that's it.
When I came to Chang'an, I must do something for the Son of Heaven.
Thinking of this joint, Wang Shi couldn't help but pinch a roll of bamboo slips hidden in his arms.
The servant Xue drove the car fast and steadily, and it didn't take long to send Liu He and Wang Shi back to Weiyang Palace.
……
In the Xuanshu Palace, Wang Shi had already wiped his face with a towel, and the dust on his body had dispersed a lot.
Wang Shi just took a breather, and Liu He couldn't wait to tell the story of what had happened, and it took half an hour before he stopped.
It was only at this time that Liu He remembered that Wang Shi was a seventy-year-old man, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Wang Fu came to Chang'an City thousands of miles away, should I let Wang Fu rest for a few days first?"
"Haha, when the old man saw that His Majesty was safe, the work of the boat and car had been swept away, and it would not hinder it."
"Then Wang Fu has a place to stay in Chang'an, if not, he can settle down in Weiyang Palace now."
"The foreign minister stays in the palace forbidden, I'm afraid this is not synthetic, Your Majesty doesn't have to care, Gong Sui's old Confucian used to come to Chang'an often, there is a mansion here, the old man went to his mansion to live temporarily, and he has not seen him for many days."
"That's great!"
After another round of pleasantries, Wang Shi brought the conversation to the main topic.
"Just now, Yu Wuwu told the old man that His Majesty has let go of that Liu Ill?" Wang Shi asked.
"Well, I personally went to see Liu Aiji, this son is not a person who is obsessed with fame and fortune, and he is one of the few blood relatives in this world, I really can't bear to start" After finishing speaking, Liu He informed Wang Shi of his arrangements for Liu Aiji one by one.
"Liu Ai is no longer guilty, I can't bear it in my heart, I don't hurt the innocent people, and I am more kind to others, this is the foundation of me being a king, and killing Liu Ai is innocent, which is not in line with this, so I really can't do it."
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and far-sighted, but the old man is shallow, and I hope Your Majesty will condemn you." Wang Shi sighed and said with relief.
"Wang Fu is also thinking about me, although he is guilty, but I forgive Wang Fu is not guilty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence."
"I followed Wang Fu's previous advice, and I am acting in an impartial royal way above the court, and now I have won the support of half of the Jiuqing, I want to ask Wang Fu, what can I do next?" Liu He asked a little impatiently.
"Then what does Your Majesty want to do, is it to seize the power of the general in the court?" Wang Shi asked rhetorically.
Liu He sighed slightly, and looked at the outside of the Xuan Room Hall, in his opinion, it was probably not the time to seize power.
"Although I have secured the throne in Chang'an, and the general also trusts me very much, but the Huo Party is powerful, and it is not an overnight matter to want to uproot it, I am not worried about Huo Guang's rebellion, but I am worried that his henchmen will make trouble, it is not difficult to kill Huo Guang, those Changyi Lang outside the door can do it, the difficult thing is to pull out all the foundations of the Huo Party."
"Especially the Huo clan's power in the Han army, if I attack and kill Huo Guang on the front foot, I am afraid that they will enter the Weiyang Palace on the back foot."
With Huo Guang here, they can still be restrained, without Huo Guang, who can restrain them?
On the original historical trajectory, Huo Guang did not have the intention of rebelling until his death, and it was his eldest brother Huo Yu who chose to rebel in the end.
"The general has been in good order for more than ten years, and he has managed the politics of the DPRK in an orderly manner, even if I take it over, I may not be able to straighten it out, and if I don't grasp it well, I am afraid that there will be disasters everywhere."
"What's more, although the general is domineering, but Yu Dahan has merit and no fault, I am afraid that I will be unpopular if I suddenly attack and kill."
Maybe it's not just unpopular, it's going to be a disaster.
"Your Majesty has analyzed it in time, and it has been considered so thoroughly, so there must have been a strategy." Wang Shi asked with a smile.
"I want to be under Huo Guang's wings, slowly plan it, little by little replace Huo's court with my court, and use the general's pot to cook my rice."
"Li Dai Tao stiff?" Wang Shi asked.
"Exactly."
The Han Empire is a huge empire, with a population of tens of millions, and no one knows what a government decree issued by Chang'an will become when it reaches the county.
Although Liu He is the Son of Heaven, he is far from knowing everything about the Han Dynasty.
Suddenly took the entire empire, Liu He did not have the confidence to completely govern it.
How to deal with the Xiongnu Wuhuan in the north, how to suppress the Haoqiang in the Kanto, how to repair the flooding of the Yellow River, and how much should the five baht be minted in a year......
Only Huo Guang can fully grasp these things.
He's definitely using the old way, but at least it won't make a mess.
With Huo Guang in front, Liu He could hide behind and slowly lay a good foundation for the Han Empire.
If you run too fast and go too fast, you will pull your own eggs.
Just like Wang Mang, the son of the plane who was not yet born, wasn't it because of too bold reforms that he ended up in a situation of "unpaid ambitions"?
Having Huo Guang grasp the general direction is a lucky thing for Liu He.
As long as Huo Guang does not hinder his pace of reform, then he can continue to assist the government.
Some things that work hard and offend people can all be handled by Huo Guang.
"Yesterday, the general has already talked to me, and he is willing to give me some government affairs, and I plan to do a good job of the political affairs assigned to me first, and work together with my middle father."
"While accumulating experience, while establishing prestige, wait for the middle father to return to power on his own, or wait for the Huo Party to do bad things, and then ......"
At that point, you can raise your arms and breathe.
Wang Shi noticed that the Son of Heaven unconsciously changed his title to Huo Guang to the middle father.
"Your Majesty really wants to do this? Aren't you afraid that Huo Guang will suddenly do something wrong? Wang Shi asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that the Han will fall apart because of my whims, and I'm even more afraid that the people will be trapped and suffer because of my misdeeds." Liu He said what he thought.
Wang Shi was in awe after hearing this, the Son of Heaven can have such courage, which is far better than Emperor Xiaowu.
"Then Your Majesty just do it."
"I took three things from my father's hand. The first is to set up Taixue and Junguo Xue, the second is to transfer the Guandong Haoqiang to fill Pingling, and the third is to set up a workshop to implement the secret method of salt and iron for workers and peasants that I pondered in Changyi. ”
"I want Wang Fu to take care of the first thing, is Wang Fu willing to help me?"
Wang Shi is a great Confucian, and his seniority is high, so it is not enough for him to handle this matter, presumably those Confucian students will not dare to make trouble.
"Your Majesty, isn't you afraid that the old man will teach the Confucian students of the Han Dynasty to be rotten Confucian?"
"Orange is born in Huainan, and born in Huaibei is orange, as long as Wang Fu can follow my strategy, the Confucian students taught will definitely not be rotten Confucianism, but the true Confucianism that has been used by the world."
Wang Shi was dumbfounded for a while, His Majesty's words were a bit big, Wang Shi wanted to persuade him, but he touched the bamboo slip in his arms, and he was relieved.
The Son of Heaven's understanding of the Confucian scriptures surpassed those of ordinary people, so his words would not seem so Meng Lang.
"Does Your Majesty really trust the old man?"
"Of course trust, there are no lies."
"The old man's bones are buried in that Taixue!" Wang Shi smiled heroically.
"That's great!" Liu He patted the case.
