"I think so, since the middle father let me participate in political affairs, then naturally there should be a set of rules to avoid conflicts between government decrees, if because of my participation in politics, the Han court decrees are not smooth, interfering with the middle father's governance of the government, then I would rather not participate in the government affairs."

In the past few months since he came to Chang'an, Liu He has perfected this ability to retreat into advance.

Just like at this moment, Liu He obviously asked Huo Guang for something, but as soon as he said it, Huo Guang felt that it was the Son of Heaven who was pushing back because of fear.

The reason why this little trick is so useful is because Huo Guang is an extremely conceited person, and he may be cautious in his bones, but he must be unwilling to give people a handle, and if he changes someone else, it will not be so easy to use.

Sure enough, after Huo Guang pondered for a moment, he said slowly: "Your Majesty has any ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it, there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved, as long as the monarch and the ministers work together, all problems can be solved." ”

is a good monarch and minister, this is said to Liu He's heart.

Since I want my middle father to pretend to be generous, then I don't need to hide it, and no matter how polite I am, I am not a "close relative".

"I want to be like my middle father, open a house and build teeth."

"Huh? Open a house and build a tooth? Huo Guang's face was full of doubts, and he didn't know what the Son of Heaven meant by this.

As the name suggests, it is to establish a yamen and set up a dental tent. It was a privilege specially granted by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to important ministers of the court.

In the Han Dynasty, the courtiers who could open the palace and build teeth, in addition to the three dukes, also included the generals and other generals with prominent status.

In the ordinary government offices of Tingwei Temple, Guanglu Temple, and Honglu Temple, the chief only has the absolute right to appoint and dismiss the subordinate officials, and as for the appointment and dismissal of other subordinate officials, they cannot arbitrarily "do the things of the hall", and all of them must be reported to the imperial court.

And those government offices that opened the government, almost all the subordinate officials can be regarded as the subordinate officials of the courtiers, and they can naturally be appointed and dismissed freely without the approval of the imperial court.

More importantly, the power of these government offices is often very great, and they can form special restraints on other ordinary government offices, and can decide on the government affairs that should be managed by the government to a certain extent, without being interfered by others.

Take the champion Hou Huo Quai's former general as an example, after obtaining the tiger talisman issued by the Son of Heaven to transfer troops, he can recruit subordinate officials on his own, and control other government offices related to it in the matter of conquering the Xiongnu.

If you want grain and grass, you can find Dasi Nong; If you want to be convicted, you can find Tingwei; If you want an armament, you can find an arsenal......

Therefore, granting a courtier the power to open a house reflects the absolute trust of the Son of Heaven in him.

On the other hand, it was also the emperor's forced choice to let the courtiers open the mansion and build teeth, and the relatively independent mansions were like whirlpools, sucking the power of the Son of Heaven into it.

When the streets are full of powerful ministers who have opened the government and built teeth, then I am afraid that the country will soon be no longer a country.

In fact, Liu He, as the Son of Heaven, naturally has his own staff team, that is, nearly a thousand Langguan and Shangshu officials in the Shangshu Office, Shangshu, and various miscellaneous doctors in the court.

Just looking at the absolute number of people, it is absolutely enough.

But the more people there are, the more difficult it is to use - everyone can use it, in fact, everyone is not available.

What's more, the Shangshu Department was also occupied by Huo Guang, the leader of the Shangshu, and it was a veritable dove occupying the magpie's nest.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the struggle between imperial power and relative power was non-stop, sometimes the imperial power was supreme, and sometimes the relative power was supreme.

The confrontation between the two did not end with the complete victory of the Son of Heaven until the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Three provinces, six departments, military aircraft department, secret construction and storage, on the secret fold...... It has to be said that the Tatar Qing pushed the imperial power to the top.

In today's Han Dynasty, the system of three princes and nine kings retained a lot of power for the courtiers, and if Liu He wanted to grasp the absolute power of the court, he had to follow some of the systems used by the Taqing Dynasty.

But now is not the time, Liu He has to gradually control the dominance of the court before he can carry out drastic and comprehensive reforms.

Now, Liu He's proposal to open a house for himself is actually a disguised way to let himself first seize some independent power from the hands of Huo Guang, the "invisible son of heaven".

The Son of Heaven seized power from the ministers, and the best object to emulate was the ministers - the ministers of the division of power and the skills of the ministers to control the ministers.

……

"Opening a mansion and building a tooth is the emperor's right to give the courtiers to act cheaply, Your Majesty is a dignified son of heaven, how to open a mansion and build a tooth?" Huo Guang asked suspiciously.

Liu He straightened his face and explained seriously.

"It is true that I am the Son of Heaven, but the middle father is an auxiliary minister, and all major affairs in the DPRK and China are determined by you, which is an unchangeable thing."

"Now that I am participating in politics, it is inevitable that some courtiers will be confused and misunderstood, and maybe there will be a conflict of government decrees."

"If I am allowed to open the mansion and build teeth, then I can recruit and dismiss subordinate officials by myself, take care of the things that should be managed, usually act cheaply, and then let the middle father control major and important things."

"In this way, I can participate in political affairs with peace of mind, and I don't have to worry about causing trouble for my middle father."

Liu He kept saying what he thought in his heart all the time, and after saying that, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms, and all the things he said just now were written on it.

He pushed the bamboo slip in front of Huo Guang, and said with some flattery: "Father Zhong, this is what I thought just now, it has been written, please take a look at it." ”

Huo Guang was a little surprised, the Son of Heaven must be a little too resolute, right?

He looked at the excitement on the face of the Son of Heaven, and felt that this was like a Son of Heaven who sat firmly in the court, listened to all sides, and ruled with bows, and was more like an official who was intoxicated with mundane things.

It's just that I don't know, is the official of the Son of Heaven a follower or a cool official?

Huo Guang shook his head with a smile, took the bamboo slip and read it carefully......

The more he read, the more Huo Guang felt that the idea of the Son of Heaven was quite novel, but it was also thoughtful.

For some reason, Huo Guang didn't have a trace of suspicion and doubt about the Son of Heaven - whether it was Emperor Xiaowen or Emperor Xiaowu, they were not as whimsical as the Son of Heaven.

After reading it carefully, Huo Guang suddenly remembered another thing that went viral when the Son of Heaven was in Changyi Kingdom, Huo Guang didn't care about this matter, but at this time, he thought about it, and the idea of opening a house and building a tooth for the Son of Heaven had already begun to take shape at that time.

Huo Guang put down the bamboo slip in his hand and did not say anything.

He looked at the Son of Heaven with a calm gaze and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that when Your Majesty was in Changyi Country in the past, he called himself a subordinate of Changyi State, but is there such a thing?" ”

Liu He was very surprised, when the matter of Changyi was the way Liu He interfered in the political affairs of Changyi.

"How did the middle father know about this?" Liu He asked pretending to be stunned.

"Hehe, Your Majesty just needs to tell the old man, is it still not?" Huo Guang asked, those sword eyes made Liu He's heart a little weak.

"Yes, I did serve as a subordinate of the Changyi Kingdom."

After Liu He finished speaking, his heart was horizontal, since Huo Guang chose himself to be the emperor, then he was not very afraid of the affairs of his subordinates, and even if he was jealous, he should have let go of it at this moment.

Then there is no need to hide it, it is better to admit it frankly.

"I know that the Han Dynasty has an ancestral system, and the princes and kings are not allowed to interfere in politics, but I am really bored, so I can only come up with this method, one is to pass the time, and the other is to do something for the people of Changyi Kingdom."

Liu He spoke frankly, and his eyes did not evade, as if he had cut out his own innocent heart and placed it naked in front of Huo Guang.

Huo Guang leaned back slightly, as if everything was under his control.

There are so many princes and kings in the Han Dynasty, and Huo Guang knows exactly what everyone is doing.

What prince and king don't dream of becoming emperor in the south? Which prince and king didn't make some small moves behind his back?

Compared with the dead King Yan and the imprisoned King Guangling, King Changyi is really too harmless.

What's more, the king of Changyi in the past and the current son of heaven interfered in some "insignificant" political affairs, which really can't become a climate.

Manipulating power, buying people's hearts, and building friends...... The Son of Heaven doesn't seem to care much.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven at the moment, how can the old man blame Your Majesty?" Huo Guang then said with a smile, "What Your Majesty has done is beneficial to my Han Dynasty, and it will not interfere with the general trend of the court, which is suitable for Your Majesty to accumulate experience in governing the country." ”

Liu He's eyes shrank suddenly, his hands couldn't help but put on a few cases, and he pretended to be excited and asked, "Then did the middle father agree to open the mansion and build teeth?" ”

Huo Guang stroked his beautiful hair and nodded with a smile.

"Father, wonderful!" Liu He clapped his hands vigorously and stood up excitedly.

This excitement is half-true, that is, it is sincere, and it can be disguised.

Killing two birds with one stone, of course, is wonderful.

Huo Guang also had a love in his eyes, as if he saw a child who had obtained something he loved.

The Son of Heaven is also a human being, let him do something, I'm afraid his mood will be much better, at least he won't end up depressed like Emperor Xiaozhao.

Thinking of Emperor Xiaozhao, Huo Guang felt a faint pain in his heart, if Emperor Xiaozhao was like today, he could say what he thought in his heart, how could he be indifferent and completely isolate him from the court, and finally he could only secretly feel sad in Weiyang Palace?

Compared with Emperor Xiaozhao, the character of the Son of Heaven who is straightforward to Meng Lang may be better.

"Then what does Your Majesty want to call your own office?"

"There are two back-to-back mansions in the east of the Xuanmu Palace, one facing south and the other facing north, and my government office is built here."

Huo Guang faintly had the impression that the mansion had been vacant for a long time these two times, but it could allow more than 100 people to act in it.

"I have been a subordinate in Changyi Kingdom, and what I am doing today is also to solve some chores for my middle father, or call it Menxia Temple."

Menxia TempleMenxia Temple, maybe one day it will become Menxia Province?

Although Huo Guang felt that this name was a little weird, he finally nodded and agreed: "This name is not too straightforward, and it can be distinguished from other official positions, which is very good, then it will be called Menxia Temple in the future." ”
