After finishing his words, Huo Guang's eyes swept across the many ordinary Dawan residents in the audience, taking in all the changes in their demeanor.
in their eyes.
Some are confused, some are scared, and some are doubtful.
certainly.
More of an expectant look.
What are they expecting?
money?
Treasure?
No!
What they expected, of course, was not to be oppressed by the nobility. No one is born to be a slave, unless he is a bitch at heart.
They long to not be oppressed, but they dare not resist!
And Huo Guang!
What we have to do now is let them taste the sweet taste of resistance for the first time.
then.
After Huo Guang finished translating his three sentences of fairness in Mo Cai, he continued: "What is fairness? That is, the wealth should be shared equally by everyone, the food should be shared equally by everyone, and everyone should be the master of their own affairs!"
"But there are no rules."
"The king still has to establish one, but not to oppress you, but to supervise fairness. If anyone destroys this hard-won fairness, the king will be responsible for judging his sin!"
"Here, I recommend Mo Cai as your new king!"
"alright."
"I've finished what I said. Who agrees and who opposes?"
be opposed to?
Of course no one dares to object!
A new policy like the one Huo Guang wanted to implement in Dayuan would definitely not work if it were carried out in the Han Dynasty.
There is no absolute fairness in the world.
The big pot rice format has long been proven by history to be unsustainable.
What's more, a place like the Han Dynasty where classes were clearly defined!
Let alone the "landlords" and "officials" who don't agree with the reform, even the slaves at the bottom will not agree.
Why?
People are used to calling themselves master, but if you ask them to change it, they still can't change it.
The most outrageous.
It’s those people who live at the bottom. If they stand up, then what they do will be better than these gentlemen.
Remember one hell of a joke about black people.
Said it was in a certain period.
A white slave owner freed a black man and gave him an estate to take care of.
The black man then turned around and started acting like a slave owner, using methods even more cruel than his former master.
actually.
This is perfectly normal, because that's how human nature is.
As for why Huo Guang dared to implement this new policy in Dayuan? It's very simple. Dayuan has a population of only 400,000, it's just a small country!
How could such a small country cause such trouble?
Huo Guang has troops and horses in his hands. Not only can he kill all Dawan, but he can also eliminate all those who resist him.
This is Huo Guang's confidence!
then.
With Huo Guang's strong support, this little nobleman Mo Cai, who was only a low-profile person in the capital of Dawan, became the new king!
And those original Dawan nobles were thrown into prison cells by him.
Awaiting the trial of the people of Dawan, those labeled as poor will be safe, while those labeled as nobles will be beheaded.
This operation is over.
The aristocratic status has become a thing that everyone shouts about, and the poor are getting better.
Does Huo Guang's operation look familiar?
Hold back!
Hold back!
Because he controlled the army, the new policy issued by Huo Guang was quickly implemented in Dawan. The entire country of Dawan also began to take on a new look, its appearance changed, and it began to spring up with vitality like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Can't say.
Some years later.
Huo Guang was in the country of Dayuan, just like MacArthur was in the country of Japan.
After the new policy of Dawan Kingdom stabilized.
The imperial court also issued a retreat order to Huo Guang. Huo Guang naturally had to accept the imperial summons and return to the court with his troops.
When going back.
In addition to the new soldiers mobilized from the four counties, there were also Dawan horses offered by Dawan, and Huo Guang also brought them back to Chang'an.
After a long journey.
The army finally arrived in Chang'an. Huo Guang could not bear to be tired. The first thing he did when he returned to the city was to meet with His Majesty.
This is the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers and cannot be messed with.
However, when he came back this time, not only Huo Guang, but also his fellow travelers, General Li Guangli of the Second Division who was defeated in Yucheng City, also wanted to meet His Majesty.
It stands to reason.
As a defeated general, Li Guangli should be executed.
The best result would be to pay a massive fine and be demoted to a common citizen.
But who gave him a good sister, Mrs. Li, who was as beautiful as a flower and was deeply loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Under Mrs. Li's crying and begging, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actually exempted Li Guangli from punishment.
It would be fine if he was exempted from punishment.
But Huo Guang didn't expect it.
At the court meeting the next day, Li Guangli not only showed no intention of repenting, but even impeached Huo Guang.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Li Guangli, wanted to impeach Huo Guang, Marquis of Bolu, for his wanton and reckless actions during the battle. I had already prepared a comprehensive strategy in Ershi City, but Huo Guang abandoned Ershi City and rashly attacked Yucheng City, causing our army to be in vain. Two thousand soldiers were buried for no reason. If I hadn’t rescued them in time, today the big Han would have almost lost to the small country of Dawan and become a laughing stock!" Li Guangli said matter-of-factly.
As the saying goes, the most humble person is invincible!
Li Guangli's villainous face is enough.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a high position. When he heard Li Guangli's words, he said without thinking: "Bo Lu Hou Huo Guang, do you have an explanation for Li Guangli's words?"
Huo Guang already frowned when he heard that Li Guangli was impeaching him.
Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called him.
He had no choice but to stand up, cupped his hands and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there is no truth in what Li Guangli said."
"The Second Master City has no natural dangers to defend. The terrain is low and flat, making it an easy-to-attack place."
"and!"
"General Li was defeated at Yucheng City. He has already exhausted all the food and grass. The soldiers don't even have anything to eat. How can they have the strength to fight?"
"I led the remaining 4,000 soldiers out of the city, which is an act that will destroy the cauldron and sink the boat."
"I have no choice but to do it!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded when he heard this, and then turned to Li Guangli and said: "Li Guangli, the reason why I sent Huo Guang is because you defeated Yucheng. You also said in the message sent by the envoy that you lacked food and grass and were unable to fight. "
"Is it possible that Huo Guang has left?"
"Did your food and grass appear out of thin air again?"
Li Guangli immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I do have a perfect plan, and there are also ways to solve the problem of food. It's just that General Huo didn't listen to my advice, which caused our army to suffer unreasonable losses."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't wait for Li Guangli to finish speaking, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, there is no one who can't die in a war!"
The Han army returned in triumph, bringing with them Dawan's BMW. This was actually a happy event for the court.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a good mood.
So I don't want to pursue this matter.
then.
Li Guangli could only say: "No."
But this time.
Huo Guang didn't want the matter to end here. Originally, he was too lazy to care about Li Guangli, a stupid pig. But the other party dared to impeach him. With Huo Guang's character, he naturally could not forgive the other party.
then.
At this time, Huo Guang said: "Your Majesty, since Li Guangli said that he had a perfect strategy to defend Ershi City before, doesn't Your Majesty not want to hear what this so-called perfect strategy is?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a puzzled look in his eyes and asked, "What? Tell me?"
At this time.
Huo Guang immediately pointed his finger at Li Guangli and said: "This so-called perfect strategy by General Li is actually a pedantic attempt to defend Ershi City."
"But there's no food!"
"What should I do if I don't have food and grass?"
"Our General of the Second Division said that the Dawan people in the Second Division's city will be used as food."
As soon as these words came out.
At the court meeting, many ministers looked surprised.
eat human?
For the prosperous people of Chang'an, this is simply something that only monsters can do.
However.
Li Guangli immediately refuted it and said: "Your Majesty, this trick is not something I use every day. It is only used as a last resort."
Huo Guang was afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would spare Li Guangli lightly again, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, only Li Guangli can use this stinking method. Regardless of whether it is a last resort, your Majesty, please think about it. If you really follow Li Guangli's instructions, The way to do it.”
"How bad will this be?"
"Your Majesty, as the emperor, everyone from all over the world should surrender to you!"
"But Li Guangli treats Dawan people as his servants. If word spreads, people will think that the emperor is just a savage who drinks blood!"
When Li Guangli heard this, he immediately cursed: "Asshole, do you dare to say that His Majesty is a savage?"
Huo Guang replied: "It is obviously your evil deeds, how can I insult Your Majesty!"
The two of them had a quarrel, and if it hadn't been in the court hall, Huo Guang would have torn apart the skin and flesh of the fight.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't hear the quarrel between the two people, and immediately cursed: "That's enough, you Li Guangli lost the battle, I spared you as a favor from heaven, why do you have the courage to make a fuss about the meritorious officials in the court meeting? Come on, get out of here!"
"promise!"
then.
Several guards carried Li Guangli out in full view of everyone.
At this time.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his attention to Huo Guang again and hummed: "Marquis Bo Lu, it is true that Li Guangli's behavior was at fault, but what about you? Don't you have no fault at all?"
"Did those two thousand soldiers die because of your decision?"
"You have done meritorious service in pacifying Dayuan Kingdom, but you should not make a noise in my court meeting and be arrogant because of my favor!"
He was ordered to death by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang suddenly woke up. Above this palace was Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed ministers as easily as squeezing an ant to death.
own behavior just now.
It was indeed reckless.
but!
Seeing how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was acting like this, he seemed to want to settle the matter by hitting each other fifty-fifty.
After Huo Guang thought for a moment, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not be arrogant because of my favor. I also have two sins. I admit it!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this.
The expression on his face finally calmed down, but the anger of the emperor had not dissipated, and he hummed softly: "Oh, you are also guilty? Okay, Marquis Bolu, tell me, what two crimes do you have? , do you need to recognize it?”
Huo Guang immediately said: "My second crime is that just now I shouldn't have made a noise in the court meeting and offended Long Yan!"
"Secondly, when I return to Chang'an, I should not use money to settle the families of the soldiers who died in battle without authorization in the name of His Majesty."
"Please punish me, Your Majesty."
When it came to settling down the soldiers' families in His Majesty's name, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che's face suddenly became less dark, and he even showed a faint smile.
It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger.
The emperor's temper was really moody.
at this time.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty snorted softly and said: "Why are you listening to me? You don't seem to be asking for forgiveness, but you are quite suspicious of asking for credit."
Huo Guang immediately said: "I don't dare."
"Don't you dare? Huh!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty snorted softly, then stood up, came down from his high position, walked to Huo Guang, and asked: "If you sincerely apologize, tell me, what crime should I punish you for? ?”
Huo Guang said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and you can punish your ministers for any crime!"
"All right?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed softly.
Huo Guang replied: "Anything is fine."
When Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, since you can say it yourself, then I will punish you for being arrogant!"
"But since you have made great achievements in pacifying Dawan."
"In this case, I will remove you from all official positions including Doctor Guanglu, and deprive you of the title of Marquis of Bolu. Do you have any objection?"
When Huo Guang heard this, he knelt down and said, "Thunder and rain are God's blessings. I, the common man, Huo Guang, don't dare to have any objections. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Huo Guang acting like this, he immediately became confused. He stood next to him, lightly kicked Huo Guang with his foot, and asked, "Logically speaking, if you were ordered to do something in danger and returned in triumph, I should give you a reward."
"Now I demote you to a commoner."
"Huo Guang, don't you have any resentment against me in your heart?"
Huo Guang lay on the ground and replied: "I have known your majesty since I was young. Your majesty does not appreciate me because of my youth. This is because of your majesty's great grace. Everything I have is given by your majesty. I am just a fool. How dare you treat me like this?" His Majesty harbors a grudge.”
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded with satisfaction and said: "Not bad, not bad."
"Hmm."
"I really like what you just said, 'Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.'"
"I heard that you opened an academy outside Chang'an City that specializes in teaching poor people how to read and write, right?"
Huo Guang didn't know why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mentioned this matter at this time, but now he could only reply: "Yes, Your Majesty, Huo Guang, a common man, has indeed opened an academy."
"When I was young, my family was poor and I couldn't study and learn six arts."
"Now that I have the ability, people who think about the same fate as me naturally have the idea that if they are rich, they can help the world, and if they are poor, they can be alone, and teach those people how to read and write."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and nodded, and said: "Since you like to do this, then well, Huo Guang, you can teach those children well in the academy you opened, and you may not be able to become a useful person for the court in the future."
"promise!"
Huo Guang replied.
So far.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and waved his long sleeves and said, "Okay, let's come here for today's court meeting. I'm a little tired."
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
At the court meeting, many ministers exited the palace together.
Huo Guang, who was demoted to a commoner, was naturally the last to leave the palace.
After all, he has the lowest status at this time.
A group of ministers were waiting for Huo Guang to come out, saying good things to him, and even cited old General Li Guang as an example. He had been demoted to a commoner many times, but when it was time to hire someone, His Majesty would still think of him to comfort Huo Guang.
But Huo Guang really didn't care.
Wait for these ministers to disperse.
The Great General Sima Weiqing, one of the three princes, shouted: "Huo Guang, what's going on today? Why did His Majesty turn his anger on you?"
"Even if he is really guilty."
"It shouldn't be like this!"
Seeing General Wei Qing's confusion, Huo Guang smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, being demoted to a commoner is not a bad thing."
"I heard that the Prime Minister of Qi State sent a letter asking for an attack on South Vietnam?"
"Is this happening?"
General Wei Qing frowned slightly and said, "This is true, but most of the princes pretended to be deaf and dumb about it, and few responded!"
Hear the words.
Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "That's right."
"Your Majesty is going to seize the many marquises that you have created on a whim in the past."
"correct."
"Uncle, please take good care of cousin Wei and his wife. Don't cause any trouble at this juncture." (End of Chapter)
