my brother champion

Chapter 232 Your Majesty chatted with Huo Guang about family matters, but Prince Liu Ju was actually jealous
On the streets of Chang'an City, Ting Wei and soldiers of the Habayashi Army ran back and forth, very lively.

Huo Guang was standing in front of the Le Restaurant here, watching these officers and soldiers ransacking their homes, running back and forth from Wuqianghou's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion one after another.

Wuqianghou Mansion.

It is the gate of Prime Minister Zhuang Qingdi's mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is where he works.

Arguably.

As the head of a hundred officials, the prime minister is the foundation of a dynasty.If it was a fatuous emperor, with the prime minister at his back, he would be able to steal a hundred days of leisure.

But no matter how much the emperor suspected the prime minister.

It will not be so fanfare to rectify, this move is more like doing it for the world to see.

But now.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only copied the home of the prime minister Zhuang Qingzhai, but even the office of the prime minister's mansion.

What does it mean?
Apparently it was to combat Xiangquan.

Otherwise, why would Emperor Wu of the Han do such a thing?
In addition to the prime minister Zhuang Qingzhai, there are also the three chief officials of the prime minister's mansion, who are also within the scope of the search.

the other side.

The Yushi Mansion, which is opposite to the Prime Minister's Mansion, was also investigated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Both the Prime Minister's Mansion and Yushi's Mansion were the offices of the Sangongs of the Han Dynasty.

and so.

I checked and checked, and it was like that, there was nothing to check.

The wonderful place lies in the home of Zhang Tang, the censor doctor!

Although Zhang Tang, the official censor, was a cruel official and was said to be a treacherous minister, he was honest and honest.

The family was poor.

As a high official, he doesn't even have a decent servant.

and so.

This time he was interrogated by Ting Wei, but he also gained a good reputation after being interrogated.

It is different from Zhang Tang, the imperial historian.

On the side of the prime minister, Zhuang Qingdi, before he became the prime minister, he was already a hereditary Marquis of Wuqiang.The family property he took over is exaggerated.

Officials in the Han Dynasty were generally very greedy!
of course!

There are also people who are clean and honest like Zhang Tang.

Therefore, the difference is clear.

Prime Minister Zhuang Qingdi has a lot of money, which is understandable, after all, his ancestors accumulated a lot of property.

But the three long history cannot be justified.

among them.

For Zhu Maichen, his wealth is not enough to describe Zhu Maichen's wealth.Zhu Maichen became an official in the court when he was half a hundred years old. Where did he get the money beyond his salary?

Buying a home?

I haven't heard of Zhu Maichen owning any famous properties, for example, Huo Guang had opened a restaurant in Chang'an when he was young.

Where did his property come from?

no doubt!

Bribery and embezzlement.

Zhu Maichen used to be in Jiuqing. In the Han Dynasty, Jiuqing was a high official.

Before Jiuqing.

Zhu Maichen also served as a local sheriff.

There is a saying that in three years, the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty had [-] snowflake silver.The Han Dynasty did not have the official position of magistrate, but as a local official, they were all similar.

It is not so strange that Zhu Maichen can make such money.

From TV shows.

According to the general perception, corrupt officials are the common people, and they are so rich because they search for the people's fat and people's anointing.

This is the stupidest, and it's only shown on TV.

How can a normal corrupt official be corrupt?
First of all!

Businessmen bribed, officials and businessmen colluded, needless to say, right?

Second!

Court appropriation.

The imperial court appropriation is huge.

Don't look at small projects such as building bridges and roads, reinforcing river embankments, etc. For officials, this is a place where huge profits are made.

If you encounter any natural disasters and man-made disasters, you will get more money.

Even if it's a natural disaster.

For example, a small earthquake is just a small crack in some houses.

The imperial court will allocate funds to repair buildings and stabilize people's hearts.

But what is the actual situation?

All the money allocated by the imperial court went into the pockets of these corrupt officials.

Ordinary people don't even know about the government appropriation.After all, it was just a small natural disaster. Who would believe that the imperial court would allocate funds for this matter?

And so on.

Zhu Maichen, a guy who only entered the court as an official in his half a hundred years, insisted on greedy for countless money.

no doubt.

Zhu Maichen became the first official named and dealt with by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

thereafter.

The two long historians, Chao Dynasty and Bian Tong, were also found out by Ting Wei and dealt with one after another.

just now.

Only the remaining prime minister, Zhuang Qingdi, did not deal with it, and he is still detained in the imperial prison for interrogation.

Same with it.

There is also Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, who was also imprisoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the imperial prison under Tingwei.

That's right.

Tingwei's subordinates also have prisons, otherwise, where would Tingwei arrest people?
Han Chang'an was not as big as Tang Chang'an.But in the small city of Chang'an, there were as many as 26 prisons, large and small, in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In Emperor Wu's reign, the most indispensable thing was the Imperial Prison.

When Huo Guang heard the news, he estimated the date in his heart.In almost two days, Zhang Tang, the doctor of the censor, will be released.

after all!

In Zhangtang's house, the house is completely bare, and there is no money to be found at all.

Seeing the turmoil in Chang'an City these two days, Huo Guang couldn't help but look up at the sky, sighed, and said to himself: "The original censor Zhang Tang and the prime minister Zhuang Qingzhai should have been framed by each other and were dealt with by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." It’s right to lose. My meddling has changed the result.”

"do not know either."

"Will this change benefit or harm me in the future?"

Huo Guang sighed.

Subsequently.

Shaking his head, he turned around and prepared to enter the restaurant for a drink.

It's noisy outside, what does it have to do with him?
If you have nothing to do today, you might as well listen to the music!

pity.

As soon as he turned around, Huo Guang heard someone calling him, saying: "Bo Luhou, I found you. Your Majesty has an order to summon you to Ganquan Palace to meet him!"

Entering Ganquan Palace?

Your Majesty summoned?

Huo Guang turned around, saw that the person who came was an eunuch, he was a little puzzled, and said, "Is it Ganquan Palace? Isn't it Weiyang Palace?"

The eunuch nodded and said, "It's Ganquan Palace. It's hotter than usual this year, so His Majesty moved into Ganquan Palace yesterday."

Ganquan Palace.

Its predecessor was the palace of the Qin Dynasty, which was later rebuilt by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and named Ganquan Palace.Now, it is already the summer palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Generally speaking.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will live in early May until mid-October.

It is already the beginning of May.

and so.

It is also normal for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to move into Ganquan Palace to live and handle state affairs.

thought here.

Huo Guang nodded, and said to the eunuch: "Okay, Ben Hou will go to Ganquan Palace to meet His Majesty."

heard.

After Huo Guang made some preparations, he entered the palace to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The Ganquan Palace was built on the basis of the Qin Palace, so after entering the palace, you can still see some old buildings from the Qin Dynasty.

In fact, the Qin Dynasty was not long from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, only about 70 years.

After Huo Guang saw Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he immediately performed the ceremony of a monarch and a minister, and said to him: "Minister Huo Guang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said immediately: "Well, let's get up and talk!"

heard.

Huo Guang then stood up, waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che to question him.

at this time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and said, "Bo Luhou, what do you think, how should I resolve the matter between the prime minister and the Yushi doctor Zhang Tang?"

Huo Guang replied directly: "Your Majesty, just deal with it according to law."

Emperor Wu of the Han raised his eyebrows, glanced at Huo Guang, and said softly, "Let's deal with it according to the law. If everything can be solved according to the law, then there won't be so many troubles in this world."

See His Majesty say so.

Huo Guang immediately patted his fart and said, "Deal with the law according to the people who you think are not important."

"If His Majesty thinks someone is important, then it depends on what you mean."

"The law is not sympathetic, but emotion can change the law!"

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head with a smile, and said, "This is what you Bo Luhou can say."

"I was very curious before. This soup is upright and harsh, and only knows how to do things according to my orders."

"In the palace that day, they didn't play cards according to common sense, and caught Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai by surprise."

"This should be your method for Doctor Yushi, right? You also made a prediction that the prime minister would impeach him, and waited for Zhuang Qingzhai to come up and slap him in the face. Hehe, only you, Huo Guang, can do this kind of thing." Can do it!"

Hearing what Emperor Wu of the Han said, Huo Guang blushed for a while.

Good guy.

Is this to praise yourself, or to belittle yourself?

No matter whether it is praise or derogation, at this moment, Huo Guang only thought about not causing trouble to his upper body. He knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I didn't expect that Doctor Yushi would fight the Prime Minister so hard."

"At that time, I just casually said this to Doctor Yushi."

"I don't know that Mr. Zhang really did what I said, and I can't help it!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was even more curious, so he asked: "It really is you? Hey, how did you predict that the prime minister would impeach Zhang Tang?"

heard.

Huo Guang quickly said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"

"A few years ago."

"Didn't you authorize me to manage the rangers and set up an organization called Jinyi to search for information on Chang'an City and even the rest of the world?"

"That day, I happened to be inquired by Jin Yi, and learned that the prime minister had arrested Tian Xin for interrogation."

"It's fine if it's normal."

"At the critical moment of dealing with Ba Ling, the prime minister didn't want to settle the matter, but went to arrest an irrelevant businessman. The minister felt that something was wrong, so he sent someone to find out the prime minister's plan, and only then did what happened later. "

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly became enlightened.

In a blink of an eye.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became decadent again, and sighed to himself: "Hey, I'm really old."

"The memory is gone."

"I don't know when my bones will fail."

"Recently, the queen and the crown prince have been acting anxious every day, as if I am going to die soon!"

"never mind."

"Don't talk about this matter, talk about the general!"

"My general, Wei Qing, is he in good health? I haven't appointed him to lead an army in battle for several years. This guy, he must have resented me in private, right?"

When Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, spoke, he said a few sentences here and a few sentences there.

Feeling lonely and don't know what to say.

indeed.

Being an emperor is lonely.

Otherwise, how do you call it a lonely family?

But then again.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked a question, Huo Guang was about to answer, but Huo Guang replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my uncle is in good health."

"As for complaining?"

"Even if my uncle is Da Sima, he is still a courtier. As a courtier, how could he resent Jun father!"

"Junfu?" When Emperor Wu heard the word, he seemed to think of his own prince again, so he said it again, and said: "The reason why the prince and the queen are terrified is that they are worried that after a hundred years, the country of the great man will be destroyed. Those young people covet it?"

"Humph."

"With my two big Sima around, what are they afraid of!"

Having said that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Huo Guang again, and asked, "If your uncle and elder brother are no longer alive, Marquis Bo Lu, can you become the prince's right-hand man?" ?”

heard.

Huo Guang's heart tightened slightly.

A seemingly insignificant casual question may have hidden murderous intentions.

Companion is like a tiger!

Huo Guang couldn't figure out why Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, asked himself this way.

But adhering to the prudent idea, Huo Guang said directly: "Your Majesty, my minister Huo Guang is your majesty's minister, and he should first share his majesty's worries and problems."

"Secondly, is the prince."

"If Your Majesty lets you be the Prince's right-hand man, then the minister will be His Royal Highness's right-hand man, and the minister will only listen to His Majesty."

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Emperor Wu of the Han's eyes instantly softened and were no longer so sharp.

but.

But he taunted Huo Guang and said, "You are becoming more and more like those officials who can only flatter you."

"I!"

"I still like you when I first met you."

First time meeting?
Ha ha.

If it was still the same as it was back then, I'm afraid I might lose the things above my neck.

later time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only chatted with Huo Guang for a while in Ganquan Palace, and did not say anything important.

After the chat.

He left the palace.

Coincidentally, when he just left the palace gate, he happened to meet Prince Liu Shi who came to meet His Majesty.

Liu Ju raised his head and glanced at Huo Guang, and said, "Marquis Bo Lu, why are you here, father?"

Huo Guang shrugged and said, "Your Highness, I didn't want to come here, but His Majesty summoned me, so I came here. There is nothing wrong, just chatting about homework."

"Family?" Crown Prince Liu Ju was a little confused, and said, "Is there any homework to talk about with your father?"

Huo Guang spread his hands and said, "Your Highness, how would you know this book?"

"It's really just a little homely chat."

"Your Highness, the Marquis still has something to do, so I will take my leave first."

Done.

Huo Guang saluted slightly, then turned and left.

Prince Liu Ju was confused when he saw Huo Guang leaving, and was about to enter the palace immediately.

But who would have thought that at this time, Jiang Chong, who was an embroidered clothes messenger, actually stopped him at this time.

Prince Liu Ju immediately became angry.

Nabo Lu Hou went in and out, he didn't stop him, he went in and out to see his father, how dare he stop him?

Immediately.

Liu Ju stepped on Jiang Chong, the embroidered emissary, and scolded: "Jiang Chong, this is not the way to go. I'm here to meet the emperor, how dare you stop me?"

heard.

Jiang Chong smiled lightly and said: "His Royal Highness calm down, how dare the envoy stop the prince from meeting his father?"

"Just one thing, I want to remind Your Highness."

"His Highness's nose is not very good-looking, it's too big. His Majesty doesn't like you recently because of this abnormal facial features, and thinks you don't look like him."

"so."

"After His Highness enters the palace, if you don't want to make His Majesty angry, it's better to cover your nose so that His Majesty can't see it."

heard.

Liu Ju was furious and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, you should start it for me."

Done.

Prince Liu Ju directly pushed Jiang Chong away and walked into the hall.
