my brother champion

After entering the mansion of Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, he met Zhang Anshi's eyes.

to be frank.

At this moment, Huo Guang felt a little embarrassed.

When he asked people why they didn't cook in there, he basically blurted it out.

The gentleman is far away from the kitchen!

This is like when someone wants to study, you have to ask him why he doesn't raise pigs?

A truth!
"Ahem, Brother An Shi, don't come here without any problems. This Marquis didn't mean to belittle you on purpose. It's just that before you came, your father asked you to cook two small dishes. I didn't expect that it turned out that Mr. Zhang did the cooking himself." Huo Guang was embarrassed. Said.

This is the Western Han Dynasty.

Fry, boil, grill, cook and more.

Stir fry?

never heard of that.

of course!

There are Huo Guang's here restaurant, but this kind of food is not popular among ordinary people outside.

heard.

Zhang Anshi shook his head lightly, put the bamboo slip-style books behind his back, and said, "Bo Luhou has misunderstood, it's not my father who cooks, but my uncle's cousin cooks."

Uncle's cousin?

Why did An Shi's cousin come here!

It just so happened that I came to visit Zhang Tang's mansion, coincidence?Or does this soup want to introduce the other party to yourself?

Huo Guang couldn't help retreating in his heart!

I clearly told Zhang Tang that I am still young and don't think about marriage.

or?

Should I run away by myself?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang looked at Zhang Anshi and asked, "Brother Anshi, can I ask something impolite?"

"Isn't that polite?"

Zhang Anshi scratched his head, not quite understanding what Huo Guang meant.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Huo Guang asked directly: "Hey, you didn't refuse, you just agreed, so I asked directly."

"How does this cousin of your uncle's look like?"

"Is it beautiful?"

Zhang Anshi frowned, and said, "Why do Marquis Bo Lu ask such a question?"

Huo Guang thought for a while, and said: "You just answer, answer my question, I don't want you to lend me money last time."

About borrowing money.

Huo Guang didn't forget it.

However, Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Didn't my father pay back the money I lent you last time? I thought my father had already paid it back."

Ok!

Do it for half a day.

Zhang Anshi thought he didn't owe Huo Guang money.

Before Huo Guang could speak, Zhang Anshi went on to say: "Bo Luhou, this cousin of my uncle's family is really beautiful in terms of appearance, and she is delicious!"

Beautiful?

Beautiful and delicious?
Forehead.
Huo Guang, who has been a man for two lives, has never seen a beautiful woman who can reach the point of being delicious.

He just knows.

Don't eat a meal and panic!

then.

Then he became a little interested and said, "Then I would like to meet your cousin."

"Cough cough."

"Oh, no, no, I'm here to see your father, Mr. Zhang."

Holding the bamboo slips in one hand, Zhang Anshi made a gesture of invitation to the room with the other, and said, "Marquis Bo Lu, please come in, my father is waiting inside."

Although Huo Guang's book paper has been issued.

But in the previous situation.

Although the popularity of book paper is high, the output is sluggish, which caused the price of book paper to exceed that of bamboo slips.

then.

In the homes of honest officials like Zhang Tang, the original bamboo slips are generally used.

Huo Guang thanked Zhang Anshi, then walked into the house and saw Zhang Tang who was waiting.

I saw Zhang Tang was sitting at the table at the moment, and when he saw Huo Guang coming in, he said: "Bo Luhou, please sit down, the house is simple, as long as you don't dislike it."

Huo Guang glanced at the furnishings in the house.

indeed.

As Zhang Tang said, it is very simple.

But the table with food is not simple!
It was a high table from his carpentry shop.

The wood material is also the better one.

The price should not be cheap.

If it is a normal Sangong Jiuqing official, it is reasonable to use such a table.

But Zhang Tang is known as the coolest official among the honest officials, and the most honest person among the cruel officials. He can't even hire four bearers. How could he be willing to change such a good high table?

After thinking about this question.

Huo Guang sat down and said, "Mr. Zhang, is this table for eating expensive?"

Zhang Tang shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know the value of this table, but the food table in the house is broken, so I asked my brother to borrow it."

borrow?

Ok!

Huo Guang didn't care about these things either. He sat on a chair beside him and asked, "Mr. Zhang said he has two things to discuss with me. Please tell me quickly!"

Mr. Zhang smiled lightly and said, "What is Hou Bo Lu anxious about? Is there something urgent at home?"

Huo Guang shook his head and said, "That's not true."

After Zhang Gong heard the words, he continued: "Since there is nothing wrong, then don't worry, the old man will tell you slowly."

"The first thing is about the old man's Erlang Anshi."

"An Shi's age is similar to yours."

"The old man is ready, arrange him to be next to His Majesty, and be an official."

"How does Marquis Bo Lu feel?"

Throw Zhang Anshi to His Majesty's side to be an official?

This is a good thing!
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although there was a saying of promoting filial piety and honesty, if you really want to have a great future, you must first serve by your majesty's side.

Because the world is the world of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

All officials are appointed, and you can only be promoted with the consent of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In other words.

Lang Guan is in the period of gold plating, this layer of gold plating is good, and the future will be worry-free.

of course.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the official system of the Han Dynasty.

Many people say.

To be an official in the Han Dynasty, you must have military merits, that is, you must have a twentieth-class title.If the title is not enough, the official position cannot be promoted.

This is a typical ignorance of the history of the Han Dynasty.

If it all depended on military merits, wouldn't all the officials of the Han Dynasty have become generals of the five big and three rough?

There are always some people who are not physically fit but very talented become officials, right?
Then these people are powerless to kill chickens, how do you let them get promoted by military merit?

Could it be possible to give them a promotion?

In this case, wouldn't the Han Dynasty be more pedantic than the pre-Qin period?
Certainly not.

In the Han Dynasty, in addition to the requirements for military merit and title, there was another kind of official, called Jilao.I won’t introduce the specifics. Anyway, if you remember enough, you will be eligible for promotion.

Otherwise, how can there be a word of credit!

Of course.

These are all things before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

These are nothing, why, because whoever Emperor Wu of the Han wants to be an official can be an official.

Even if it is the position of the head of a hundred officials like the prime minister.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also sealed it with one word.

You said that a prime minister must have the status of a marquis, and you said that a marquis must have great military merits to be named a marquis, right?
These are all nonsense to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

You have to say military merit, right?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that this man had no military merits, but I just named him a marquis?
Do you have any opinion?
You don't have an opinion, and if you have an opinion, you can't say it.

Aren't you going to be a marquis when you become a prime minister? Hey, I've already made him a marquis, so if I make him a prime minister now, is there any problem?
No!

Here I have to pity the parachutist Li Guang.

He was not sealed until his death.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forced Li Guang to be a Marquis, who would have any objections?
But he just won't block it!
no way.

Who made you stand on the wrong team before.

of course.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't mean that he would get the position of prime minister for just anyone.Generally, they are talented people, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will let them be prime ministers.

Just like Li Cai.

Since Doctor Yu Shi was just promoted to the post of prime minister, he has made achievements in those few years.

It's a pity that the back, getting worse and worse, a little sloppy.

Naturally, something went wrong.

anyway!

Now Zhang Tang wants to arrange his son Zhang Anshi to be the emperor's servant. This is definitely the most correct decision.

After thinking for a while, Huo Guang said: "This is a good thing, and it will be of great benefit to Zhang Erlang's future career."

"but."

"Mr. Zhang, does this have anything to do with me?"

Doctor Yushi Zhang Tang chuckled and said: "Aren't you the Yilang who is next to His Majesty before? I'll ask you to gain some experience!"

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that he was a Yilang, and he didn't serve Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what experience could he gain?

When I was wondering.

A little lady came up with prepared food and put it on the table.

these foods.

Mostly meat, grilled meats.

BBQ.

In the Western Han Dynasty, it was a big meal among big meals.

Huo Guang frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Zhang, is this an acceptance gift? How come today's food is so good!"

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Tang's face turned dark immediately, and he said: "Bo Luhou Mo wants to talk nonsense, do you see that the old man is so quiet in front of the door, does it seem that he will do something about receiving gifts?"

"That's hard to say!" Huo Guang shrugged.

This appearance made Zhang Tang very angry.

however.

The young man in front of him this time is no longer the Huo Yilang who went to Zhao country with him back then.

He is His Majesty's Captain Fengche, a military school lieutenant.

the most important.

He was also named Boluhou by His Majesty.

With such an identity, even if Huo Guang stretched out his hand, Zhang Tang couldn't take out his ruler to beat him.

then.

Zhang Tang could only blow his beard and stare in anger.

It's embarrassing between the two of you.

At this time, the little lady who had put the food aside said, "Bo Luhou was joking, my father ordered me to bring this food to Father Zhong's house."

Hearing the little lady's voice like a silver bell, Huo Guang glanced at her and asked, "Are you Zhang Anshi's uncle's cousin?"

The little lady immediately nodded slightly, and said: "The little girl's name is Zhang Wenjun, and she is An Shi's cousin."

"Oh!"

Huo Guang nodded, and glanced up and down at Zhang Wenjun, seemingly not paying much attention to it.

In fact, he despised Zhang Anshi fiercely from the bottom of his heart.

How about delicious food?

What about the good looks?

The figure is not as good as Yan Yu, and the face is not as good as the girl from Dong Xun and the Sang family.

Temperament.

It can't even compare to the bookish spirit on Jiang Wanqiu's body.

Where does the beauty come from!

This Anshi, I have never eaten good pork.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang smiled faintly, what was he thinking about?

At this time.

Seeing his smile, Zhang Wenjun asked, "Bo Luhou, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, as a royal censor, Duke Zhang is one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty. With such an identity, it's really a pity that he is so poor!" Huo Guang said lightly.

Zhang Wenjun frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "Sigh? Why sigh? Shouldn't honesty be a good thing?"

Huo Guang smiled slightly and didn't say much.

And Zhang Wenjun wanted to continue to ask something, but at this time, Zhang Tang opened his mouth and said: "Wenjun, you go out first, the old man has something to discuss with Bo Luhou."

"Yes, Father Zhong."

Zhang Wenjun obeyed Zhang Tang's words and immediately walked out of the house.

After she leaves.

Zhang Tang said to Huo Guang: "Bo Luhou, the second thing I want to tell you next, don't be scared!"

"Scared? Huh?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows disdainfully, and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't look at me the way you did two years ago."

"This Marquis once went out with the general, and fought against the barbaric Huns on the dangerous Mobei battlefield."

"The blood flowed all over the place, and I never frowned."

"You said Benhou would be frightened?"

When Zhang Tang heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, Bo Luhou has such courage, so the old man just said it directly."

"The last time I brought all the officials together to sue you for your crimes and put you in jail, do you still remember the Prime Minister Li Cai?"

"The old man plans to bring him down in the near future!"

Bring down Prime Minister Li Cai?
Huo Guang was amazed when he heard this.

There is a lot of discord between Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, and Li Cai, the prime minister. Does anyone in the court know?

As for the reasons for the disagreement between the two.

It's not because Zhang Tang is trusted by His Majesty, and often uses His Majesty's orders to do things that exceed the prime minister's rights.

This made Prime Minister Li Cai extremely disdainful of his behavior.

So the friction between the two is great.

But His Majesty repeatedly warned Prime Minister Li Cai, so that Prime Minister Li Cai, the head of all officials, has never attacked Zhang Tang.

Taiwei can fight against the prime minister.

That's because the Taiwei holds the military power in his hands, and all generals must listen to the Taiwei.

Doctor Yu Shi only has the power of supervision, and his real power is very small. What can he use to fight against the prime minister?
Also bring down the prime minister?
Huo Guang looked suspiciously at Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you have evidence to bring down Prime Minister Li Cai in your hand?"

Zhang Tang nodded, and said: "Yes, the old man has grasped the iron evidence that he invaded the Yangling Shinto land in Emperor Xiaojing's Garden."

Hear what Zhang Tang said.

Huo Guang was even more confused, and asked: "Didn't he have a trouble with the court last year about his embezzlement of land? And the evidence is convincing. Now that the story is brought up again, is it still useful?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tang laughed twice, then stroked his beard with his hand, and then continued: "Bo Luhou doesn't understand the situation in the court."

"The so-called this moment, that moment."

"Two years ago, the Battle of Mobei hadn't even started yet. His Majesty needed him to transport troops and emigrate people, manage officials and change coins, coordinate salt and iron, etc."

"And these things, Li Cai has done quite well."

"It's just that after the Battle of Mobei, do you think His Majesty still needs him?"

Hearing Zhang Tang's words, Huo Guang frowned slightly.

the meaning of this.

Isn't it just saying that the birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooking?
But Li Cai is the prime minister!
Huo Guang still didn't believe it, so he shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry that I don't agree. This Li Cai is the prime minister of the dynasty, and there are still many things to do. It's not those generals. How could he be in Mobei?" After the war, treat him as an abandoned son!"

However, Zhang Tang smiled and said: "The old man has always acted according to His Majesty's will. If His Majesty didn't have this idea, how could the old man act rashly!"

"Bo Luhou!"

"Do you know that some time ago, when His Majesty wanted to confer the title of marquis on you, he planned to confer the title of Sima on the General and General Hussars?"

Huo Guang frowned slightly, and said, "I heard some news."

Zhang Tang said again: "Then do you know why it took until today to issue an edict to the general and the hussars, ordering them to jointly serve as the chief minister?" (End of this chapter)
