When the young man's voice sounded, everyone's eyes turned over at the same time.
Besides Huo Guang, who else could be the young man who said this?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "Haha, Marquis Bolu has any ideas? Let's hear it!"
Seeing His Majesty speak, Huo Guang immediately said: "This King Zuo Guli is just a small king of the Huns. Based on his status, the number of people who can gather in Mobei is very limited."
"If there is another Mobei War, it will be easy to eliminate this wave of people!"
"It's just that the gains outweigh the losses!"
"Instead of letting them develop on their own, it's better to let the court issue a decree directly and canonize King Zuogu Li and make him a real Chanyu of the Xiongnu!"
"In this case, if he accepts it, it means that the Huns have surrendered to my great Han!"
"If he doesn't accept it, the imperial court will send troops to attack him in the future, and he will be famous!"
"Besides, after King Zuogu Li has established his footing, we will send the captured Xiongnu chief Yu Yizhixie back to Mobei!"
"At that time, the two Shanyus will fight each other, and the internal fighting will begin. No matter who wins, they will be seriously injured in the end."
While Huo Guang was talking eloquently, Prime Minister Li Cai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what Marquis Bo Lu said is not credible!"
The Prime Minister's voice seemed extremely harsh at this time!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "It can't be trusted, why can't it be trusted?"
Prime Minister Li Cai replied: "The Han army fought with the Huns for many years before they captured the Yi Zhi Xie Da Chanyu. Now that our government has this layer of bargaining chips in our hands, the Huns will not dare to plunder rashly." I am on the border of the Han Dynasty."
"If Yizhi Xie is put back, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"Isn't it profound enough that the example of King Gou Jian of Yue who destroyed Wu Guofu Chai by lying down on his salary was not profound enough?"
After hearing these words.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also hesitated slightly.
at last.
Liu Che turned his attention to Huo Guang again and said, "Bo Luhou, do you have anything to refute what the prime minister said?"
Huo Guang immediately nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I do have something to refute!"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately became interested and said: "Since you have something to refute, let's talk about it. I really want to know how you want to refute the Prime Minister's point of view."
After hearing this, Huo Guang thought for a while and said: "First of all, what Prime Minister Li said is that Gou Jian will destroy Wu Guofu Cha while lying down on his salary!"
"There is a problem with this classical exercise."
"What is the Kingdom of Wu? It's just a big place. How can it compare with His Majesty's big men?"
"besides!"
"Your Majesty is the current hero and has more than doubled the territory of our Han Dynasty."
"Is this something that can be compared to the foolish, debauched and immoral Fu Chai in the later period?"
"Secondly!"
"Gou Jian is lying on the firewood to taste the courage, but we will not let Yi Zhi lie on the firewood to taste the courage. So what if it is a tiger, we are letting it out, not letting the tiger return to the mountain, but sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight."
"This is a fundamental difference!"
"Besides, tigers are nothing. Your Majesty is the real Dragon Emperor!"
"Is it possible that, in the eyes of Prime Minister Li, His Majesty is still afraid that this so-called subordinate will fail?"
After Huo Guang finished speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was immediately delighted.
Everyone likes to be praised.
People like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty preferred it.
certainly.
For the emperor, what his ministers say is not called praise, but praise!
Anyway, Liu Che was very impressed by Huo Guang's compliments and immediately said: "Look, although Marquis Bo Lu is young, he speaks better than everyone else!"
"That Yi Zhixie is just a defeated general under my command. Let him go back. What are you afraid of!"
"snort."
"Since I can defeat him once, I can defeat him a second time and a third time!"
"With the generals and Sima Weiqing and the hussars generals and Sima Huo Qubing still here, will I still be afraid of the little Huns?"
"What a joke."
"Prime Minister Li, what do you think?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally turned his attention to Prime Minister Li Cai, and his words were full of ridicule.
Prime Minister Li Caicheng has become increasingly unpopular in His Majesty's eyes these days.
It's not that he didn't do well.
But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked new things. Li Cai is already old, and his work tends to be traditional and somewhat pedantic.
It's okay to be pedantic.
But the problem is that Li Cai cannot assess the situation and realize His Majesty's intentions.
Then there is a problem.
At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked him what he said, and Li Cai still said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean by Marquis Bo Lu. I just want to advise Your Majesty by using the example of lying on your salary and tasting courage."
However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Just tell me whether you agree with Marquis Bolu's idea?"
Prime Minister Li Cai continued: "I am opposed to Marquis Bolu's idea!"
In an instant.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's face turned darker.
Simply.
He no longer paid attention to Prime Minister Li, but looked at the imperial censor Zhang Tang, the general Sima Wei Qing, and the hussar general Sima Huo Qubing who were sitting side by side with the prime minister, and asked: "Zhang Tang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, What do you three think?"
Sangong, logically speaking, there are only three people.
But there was an additional hussar general, Da Sima, so there were four people ranking third.
At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally, Zhang Tang took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, veteran Zhang Tang doesn't know much about military issues."
"But what Huo Yilang and Bo Luhou said is indeed the best way at present."
"Once we come, we, the Han Dynasty, will be able to weaken the power of the Huns without any effort."
"Secondly, after the Battle of Mobei, our country's economy also needs some time to recuperate."
"Thirdly, if King Zuo Guli is smart and surrenders to my great Han Dynasty, our Han Dynasty will have another vassal state."
The battle in Mobei is all about economic competition.
The Han Dynasty won.
But the price paid is not small. If it doesn't take a year or two, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover.
If we continue to fight at this time, the Han Dynasty's own vitality will be seriously damaged.
After Zhang Tang’s words.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Zhang Yushi, please sit down first, Changping Marquis and Champion Marquis, where are you two?"
Wei Qing looked troubled, frowned and said: "Now that the Huns are unable to go south, if we want to deal with them, taking the advice of Marquis Bo Lu should be the best way."
Huo Qubing was not as coy as Zhang Tang and Wei Qing, and said directly: "What Marquis Bo Lu said, as the elder brother, I also think it makes sense."
"His Majesty!"
"You might as well let Marquis Bolu give it a try. If something happens, I will bear the responsibility!"
at this time.
Three of the four people ranked among the three have supported Huo Guang's opinion.
Even if the prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, his words will have no effect at this time.
Because the only one who can really make the decision is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled slightly at this moment and said: "General Hussar, you do love your little brother. Haha, okay, I also think what Marquis Bolu said is right."
"Tomorrow, in the name of the imperial court, I will issue an edict to King Zuogu Li of the Xiongnu and confer him the title of Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu."
"As for this Yizhixie!"
"Leave it to Marquis Bolu to handle the matter. He was the one who captured the person anyway. It's his turn to put him back."
Hear the words.
Huo Guang immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The officials and generals at the palace banquet also echoed: "Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, immediately smiled and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, today is not a court meeting, so I invite you all to come, just eat and drink."
The words fell.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand, and the court musicians began to play music and drums again.
The palace maids and singers also began to dance to add to the fun.
only.
Later, I never saw Mrs. Li's graceful figure again.
After the palace banquet was over, everyone had enough to eat and drink, and then slowly left and started again.
Said before.
This palace banquet held by the ancient rulers was to understand the righteousness of the king and his ministers and to strictly enforce the hierarchy.
so.
Even exiting must follow palace etiquette.
Huo Guang knelt down on his seat, watching the champion Hou in the front row exit, feeling full of envy in his heart.
The three princes of the Han Dynasty were always the prime minister, the prefect, and the censor.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The Taiwei was left vacant, and the post of Taiwei was replaced by Da Sima.
Therefore.
The Grand Sima became one of the three official positions, and because the Hussars General and the Grand General shared the position of the Grand Sima, they were the same official position.
so!
His champion brother, at the age of twenty-one, not only achieved the title of banished to the wolf, but also became the third prince.
Twenty-one years old, ranked among the top three!
Even with the eyes of a time traveler like Huo Guang, it would seem that the cliff is open.
Does it hang when it is turned on?
"Tsk, tsk, I'm so envious!"
Huo Guang smacked his lips, and when it was his turn to leave later, he quickly stood up and left.
After leaving the palace.
Huo Guang wanted to go back to the general's residence directly, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Zhang Tang.
Zhang Tang said with a smile: "Why is Marquis Bo Lu coming out so slowly? I have been waiting for a long time!"
Huo Guang couldn't help but curled his lips and said, "Could Yushi Zhang be joking? There are rules in this palace. As a doctor, of course you can walk faster in front."
"I'm a captain of the chariot service, so I can't stand in line for a long time!"
"I would like to come out as soon as possible, but I have to obey my dignity!"
Zhang Tang didn't mind Huo Guang's words. He just smiled lightly and said, "Huo Yilang must not have such a bad temper. I just said it casually."
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows and said, "Ahem, I am the captain of Fengche, not Yilang."
Zhang Tang suddenly laughed and said with a smile: "When people get old, that's just the way they are. They can't change their ways. Don't blame Marquis Bo Lu."
Huo Guang shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. You can call Mr. Zhang whatever you like. I don't mind, this junior."
Zhang Tang did not continue to dwell on this topic, but said: "I heard that there are many powerful people in Chang'an City who visit the general every day to introduce their daughters to you, but none of them like the Marquis Bolu?"
Huo Guang nodded and said, "Oh, that's what happened. Why did Mr. Zhang suddenly ask about this? Does he also want to marry me, Wei Huo?"
Zhang Tang smiled lightly and said: "It's not impossible!"
When Huo Guang heard this, he was happy and asked: "Mr. Zhang is making fun of me. You only have two sons in your family. How can we get married? I don't have the habit of Longyang!"
The two sons of Zhang Tang's family.
One is Zhang Anshi, and the other is Zhang Anshi's brother Zhang He.
Zhang Tang waved his hand and said: "Why did Marquis Bolu say that he went to Longyang? I don't have a daughter, but my brother's family has a niece, so I can marry you."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is joking. I am still young and I really don't think about getting married." Huo Guang heard this and quickly rejected Zhang Tang's kindness.
Good guy.
It's true that when you are poor in the downtown area, no one cares about you, and when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
Even an honest and cruel official like Zhang Tang wants to marry his niece!
What a headache.
Seeing being rejected by Huo Guang, Zhang Tang just smiled faintly and said, "I just mentioned it. If Marquis Bolu doesn't agree, then forget it."
"but."
"There are two things that I really want to discuss with you."
Two things?
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang is the imperial censor, ranking among the three princes. Is there anything you need to discuss with me?"
Zhang Tang laughed and said: "Of course it has something to do with you, otherwise, what would I be discussing with you?"
Related to yourself?
Huo Guang frowned slightly, not knowing what kind of medicine Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, was selling in his gourd, so he asked: "Since Mr. Zhang said it was related to me, I would like to hear it."
Zhang Tang shook his head and said, "This is not the place to talk."
Isn't this the place to talk?
After thinking for a while, Huo Guang said, "How about going to the Le Restaurant here? That's the restaurant I run. I will never let others know what we talked about."
However.
Zhang Tang shook his head and said, "I won't go to such a filthy place!"
Hey?
What are you talking about, old guy?
Why is this prince's restaurant such a filthy place?
Huo Guang wanted to curse at this moment.
But Zhang Tang didn't give him this chance, and said again: "Let's go to my home to discuss it in the evening. Then, I will ask An Shi to make two side dishes, and we will chat while eating."
Zhang Anshi cooks?
Good guy.
After all, he is also the son of a censor, but he didn't expect to have to cook himself.
Didn't we agree that the gentleman should stay away from the kitchen?
Thinking of this, Huo Guang shrugged and said, "Since Mr. Zhang invites you, I would be disrespectful to refuse."
Finished.
Huo Guang got on the sedan chair.
But this time.
However, he found that Mr. Zhang was walking slowly behind.
Out of curiosity, Huo Guang opened the sedan curtain and asked, "Is Mr. Zhang going back? Why don't you get a sedan?"
Zhang Tang sighed and said, "Bo Luhou is joking."
"Your sedan needs four bearers to carry it."
"The carriage in my house has been around for more than 20 years, and I can't bear to replace it with a new one. How can I afford four bearers to carry the sedan?"
Hear the words.
Huo Guang also sighed helplessly.
sedan chair.
Compared with horse-drawn carriages, its labor costs are higher.
This is naturally overwhelming for an honest official like Zhang Tang.
If Jiang Chong hadn't been fooling around in Chang'an City, there would still be a carriage to ride in this soup.
It's a pity that carriages are no longer allowed in the city!
After thinking about it.
Huo Guang got off the sedan and said to Zhang Tang, "How about this, Mr. Zhang, you take my Marquis' sedan back first, and I will arrive later?"
Zhang Gong immediately refused and said: "How can this be done? This is not okay, no, how can I sit in your Marquis Bolu's sedan chair."
Um.
Say so.
Zhang Tang got on Huo Guang's sedan without any courtesy.
Good guy.
Huo Guang was dumbfounded by this scene.
Why do you feel like you're being taken advantage of?
have no choice.
After Zhang Tang was carried away in the sedan chair, Huo Guang first walked back to the General's Mansion. He waited until evening, then rode out of the mansion on a big black horse, and hurried directly to Zhang Tang's Mansion.
By the time he arrived in front of the Zhangtang Mansion Garden, Huo Guang had already smelled the fragrance.
Is this Anshi's cooking delicious?
It’s rare!
After tying the reins on Dahei, Huo Guang walked straight into Zhang Tang's house, only to see Zhang Anshi reading a book in the yard, shaking his head.
"Eh? Brother Zhang, why are you here? Aren't you cooking inside?"
