Big man: I am the Champion Marquis!

Huo Shan seemed to feel at ease in asking for an official position for Zhao Anguo, as he felt that this was not a bad thing.

Since everyone knew that following him could help them win battles and be promoted to a general, he should be more high-profile. As his deputy general, Zhao Anguo naturally needed to appear more glorious.

Liu Che was at ease and didn't care about promoting Zhao Anguo. A general was also a recognition of Zhao Anguo. With his outstanding military achievements, everything seemed justified.

His view has always been to reward merit and punish fault. Since Zhao Anguo has made contributions now, he must strive for him. Sometimes if you don't strive for it, the emperor will not really pay attention to it.

On the other hand, Zhao Anguo's title of general could also enhance his prestige and status in the army.

Even if he was a general of a miscellaneous title, he was still a legitimate general, which was also a good thing for the Weihuo Group. Everyone knew the status of the two generations of Cong Piaohou and understood some of their positions.

He did another thing that he should do, and was quietly consolidating his position in the court and the military.

Come to think of it, he felt a little proud. In the eyes of the emperor, what he did might not mean that he cared about his status or wanted to form a party.

After all, in Liu Che's eyes, Huo Shan's mind was relatively simple, and Zhao Anguo was also tied to Huo Shan. Now he came to ask for an official position, maybe just to make himself more impressive.

This is not impossible. Based on Liu Che's understanding of Huo Shan, this child is really likely to do these things. For the sake of prestige and appearance, it is a common practice to parade around with the title of a general.

Huo Xian, who was filled with joy, did not intend to tell the emperor that he was going to be the "Tingwei". Some things should be done first and then discussed. This was not a case of acting first and reporting later, but he was just doing something since he had nothing to do.

This is more in line with Huo Xian's style. He is restless and is either training soldiers or hunting, or else he goes out to bully some powerful people. What this champion marquis wants to do is different from other powerful people.

After proving his reputation in Jianzhang Palace, Huo Xian planned to run to Jiaofang Palace and successfully prove his reputation with the Queen.

"Aunt, I'm going to replace some weapons for the Imperial Guards." Huo Xian said straight to the point, "Many soldiers have just returned, and the weapons are a bit damaged. We need to replace them."

Before Wei Zifu could speak, Shi Liangdi smiled and said, "Shan'er, I have already replaced the weapons of the Yulin Army and Qimen Army. The two armies under your command only use the best horses and the latest weapons. I have always kept this in mind."

Huo Xian smiled happily when he heard this, "That's good. I like bright clothes and horses, so my subordinates should also wear bright clothes and armor."

Wei Zifu couldn't help but say, "You should be more restrained and stop showing off your two armies. Now both the Southern Army and the Northern Army have complaints, saying that they only gave them to the Yulin and Qimen when they didn't need them."

Huo Xian couldn't help but say, "That's how it is! Yulin and Qimen are His Majesty's imperial guards, so they must have good war horses and weapons. Although the Southern Army and the Northern Army are also Beijing's troops, how can they be compared with the imperial guards!"

Wei Zifu and Shi Liangdi were speechless. Huo Xian really said everything directly, and it was impossible to refute him.

Huo Xian continued, "If they feel that their treatment is not enough, why don't they go and take a look at the border troops and local county soldiers? Their weapons are definitely not as good as theirs. It's so tiring to only look at the good and not look down!"

Wei Zifu and Shi Liangdi were even more speechless, as Huo Xian was telling the truth. Even though they were both soldiers, there were indeed some differences, such as weapons and equipment, military pay, etc.

There is no way, different identities and different tasks will naturally lead to differences. If we really treat everyone equally, that would be unrealistic.

Shi Liangdi said with some regret, "I didn't know you were going to the palace today, otherwise Jin'er would definitely come. He likes playing with you the most, and he has always wanted to go hunting with you."

Wei Zifu glanced at Shi Liangdi. In fact, Liu Ju had some similarities with Liu Che in character, such as deep affection. But this deep affection would not last long, and would be transferred to another woman after a while.

There is some truth in favoring one person exclusively, but this is also time-limited and is a phased thing.

Moreover, Liu Ju did one thing that was very decisive, and that was that he insisted on not appointing a Crown Princess, so his concubines tried their best to please him, as if everyone had a chance to become the Crown Princess.

He threw the responsibility onto the emperor and the empress. Some ministers mentioned these things, which meant that the emperor and the empress did not allow him to appoint a crown princess.

Liu Ju has now shifted his attention to Xu. Not to mention Shi Liangdi, even Li, the prince's concubine, is about to fall out of favor.

Fortunately, Li Shi did not have to worry too much, as her brother Li Yu was now a minister, and her cousin Li Ling was now a marquis. Moreover, he had also given birth to a son for Liu Ju, so his position was naturally stable.

Without a Crown Princess, anyone can compete for the position.

As the eldest son of the crown prince, Liu Ju naturally had advantages, but he did not have the advantage of being the legitimate son. The throne of the Han Dynasty was not necessarily inherited by the legitimate son or the eldest son, as evidenced by a series of previous precedents. Shi Liangdi had been trying to win over Huo Xian, and many people saw this and understood the influence of this champion marquis on the emperor and the crown prince.

Liu Jin still had an advantage, as he was the eldest son of the crown prince and was familiar with Huo Xian. As for Li's descendants, there was nothing to worry about. The Huo and Li families were not in a feud, but they were not harmonious either.

Although many people say that adults only care about interests and so on, but if you think about the character of this Champion Marquis, he really can't just think about interests, he takes some things very seriously.

Wei Zifu just smiled and said nothing. She had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the emperor's grandchildren. It was really too early.

It is more important to care about the crown prince now. After all, the emperor is old and the crown prince's position has been stable. Only when the crown prince ascends the throne smoothly will the emperor's grandchildren have a chance to compete.

Huo Xian naturally understood these principles. In fact, everyone knew Shi Liangdi's little thoughts. Obviously, there were many people who wanted to win him over. This could be said to be beyond doubt.

But given the current situation, there is no need to consider so much for the time being. It is obviously the most important thing for the prince to ascend the throne smoothly. We can consider future matters later.

After chatting with Wei Zifu about family matters, the most important thing was to see Huo Wuyou. After all, he was her son, so she had to see him more and hug him more.

Wei Zifu also felt relieved. Although Huo Shan was a little unreliable and did seem a dandy at times, he really grew up.

Putting aside other things, everyone felt that Huo Xian didn't look like a capable father. He seemed to be in charge of giving birth but not raising the child, but he still cared for the child when he should.

Especially when seeing Huo Xian’s happy expression when holding Huo Wuyou, her love for him could not be concealed.

Not only Wei Zifu felt relieved, Han Yunniang felt even happier. She was not only happy for her own status, but also for Huo Wuyou's future.

The emperor's descendants were eyeing the throne, while the descendants of the marquises were thinking about inheriting the title, especially in the case of Huo Shan, who seemed to have no intention of getting married.

This also means that Huo Wuyou has now seized the initiative, and Han Yunniang will naturally feel happy because her son has unlimited possibilities in the future and will have the opportunity to inherit all of Huo Shan's resources.

After holding the child for a while, Huo Xian became a little impatient. The main reason was that a child like Huo Wuyou was too young. Children around half a year old were lively and active, and indeed fun.

It’s just that children at this stage also like to cry, and Huo Xian, this idiot father, obviously made the child cry and then quickly handed the child over to other people.

It's normal to be impatient, mainly because taking care of children is indeed a headache sometimes. Fortunately, Huo Xian has someone to help take care of the children, so he can obviously be lazy.

After taking a tour around the palace and showing off in front of the emperor and the empress, these were apparently enough. This was the main mission of this visit to the palace.

Huo Xian, feeling very proud and satisfied, had returned with a full load. Naturally, he had done everything that needed to be done, and that was obviously enough.

He continued to maintain his relationship with the emperor and the queen, and also hugged Huo Wuyou to cultivate the father-son relationship. He was also busy asking for an official position for Zhao Anguo, which was what he wanted.

These are obviously great victories. All the little expectations he had when entering the palace were successfully achieved. All this will naturally make him feel satisfied. He is not doing useless work. It may seem simple and crude, but it is efficient!

As soon as Huo Xian, who was full of pride, left Jianzhang Palace, he said to Chen Ju, "Go to Anguo and ask him to come to your house."

Chen Ju asked curiously, "My Lord, what's the big deal?"

"Great news! He is going to be promoted to general." Huo Xian did not hide anything and said directly, "Your Majesty has high expectations for him. He wants me to follow him to fight the Xiongnu, to conquer the Wolf's Lair, and to attack Huanglong!"

Chen Ju's eyes suddenly lit up. Although Zhao Anguo was most likely a general of miscellaneous rank, the miscellaneous rank of generals in the Han Dynasty was also very valuable. Zhao Anguo's general title would most likely be maintained.

As long as there is no major defeat, Zhao Anguo will now officially enter the top ranks of the Han military, and will not be just an ordinary officer.

The Weihuo Group is already very powerful now, and Zhao Anguo's appointment as a general is like adding fuel to the fire, making the Weihuo Group even more powerful. This is what Chen Ju and others most want to see.

To think more narrowly, this is a general under the banner of Marquis Guanjun, and this is a series of momentum that can be compared to the general's side.

There were many people who followed Wei Qing to fight, and quite a few of them were made marquises and generals, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao and others were the best among them. And now Huo Xian brought out Zhao Anguo, a real general!
Being a marquis is obviously not enough. Since you have been made a marquis, you naturally need to consider being appointed as a general. This is the real way to show off your power in the army and let everyone know that following the champion marquis can make great contributions and gain a title. (End of this chapter)
