The big man has a living father

Chapter 56 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

In public, with a large group of people staring.

Huo Hai was in a mess.

But Huo Hai didn't care and patted the footprints on his butt.

Someone asked, "Master Huo, what happened to you?"

Huo Hai: "I've been standing for so long that I feel numb."

Liu Che: "Have your legs become numb after standing for so long? How about... you sit down and talk?"

Is that sitting? That's called kneeling!

Huo Hai declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have no merit and I will not accept any gift. However, this thunder and rain are all grace from the Emperor. Since Your Majesty has allowed me to accept it, it would be disrespectful to Your Majesty if I don't accept it. How about I accept half of it and squat down to talk?"

Liu Che: "Is squatting appropriate? You should either stand or sit."

Huo Hai made up his mind that next time he went to court, he would bring his own chair.

"Then I'd better stand."

Liu Che started talking about the affairs of Wannian County and Chang'an County again, and Huo Hai then realized why he was kicked out by his elder brother.

He looked at Huo Qubing.

As a result, Huo Qubing had fallen asleep in the position where he was originally standing.

Huo Hai understood that his elder brother had made a contribution to the Huo family's inheritance last night.

When all the ministers who were discussing this matter knew about it, Liu Che said: "Bu Shi."

A man came out.

Those who are well-informed know that Bu Shi is the general manager of the Huo Ranch and a henchman of Huo Hai and Liu Che.

Those who are not well-informed are still wondering who this person is.

Liu Che: "Bu Shi, I appoint you as the commander of the grain department. You are responsible for recording the crop output, commercial prosperity and development of Chang'an County and Wannian County. There must be no mistakes."

Bu Shi bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Huo Hai started to think about it at this time. He seemed to have heard of this captain Zhisu somewhere before.

It seems that this location has not been set for some time.

The so-called grain-controlling commander was responsible for helping the emperor find food.

By extension, it means helping the emperor make money.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, there were three governors of grain. The first one was Bu Shi, who was responsible for economic development.

Later, Bu Shi succeeded in making money, but not so successfully, so he became the prime minister.

When Bu Shi became prime minister, Emperor Wu began to implement a policy of comprehensive plunder, so Sang Hongyang ascended to the throne smoothly.

Sang Hongyang was very successful in his plundering and was later promoted, so this position became vacant.

Later, Emperor Wu felt that he had plundered too much and the people were becoming extremely poor.

Therefore, Zhao Guo was appointed as the commander of the grain department and was asked to promote great development in order to restore people's livelihood.

However, Zhao Guo was already quite old at that time, and did not achieve much while in office.

Of course, Huo Hai didn't know all this. Huo Hai was familiar with Zhisu Duwei because of Han Xin.

Thinking of this, Huo Hai suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember it!"

The current court meeting is not like the later standard morning court meeting, so there are not so many restrictions.

However, there were still few people in the court who said loudly "I suddenly realized something".

Everyone looked over.

Liu Che: "Huo Hai, what have you thought of?"

Huo Hai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, last time I couldn't tell the difference between Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Han Xin, the King of Han. I made up for it after I went back."

The originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense.

Almost all the ministers bowed their heads.

This Han Wangxin is His Majesty's Achilles' heel, how dare you mention him!
Liu Che was calm: "Oh, what does your cramming have to do with your sigh at this moment?"

Huo Hai: "After studying hard, I remember that Emperor Gaozu appointed Han Xin as the commander of the grain department, but Han Xin ran away. Then Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moonlight. Later, Emperor Gaozu appointed Han Xin as the general."

"If Han Xin could be made a general, then you, Bu Shi, can certainly be a prime minister, Bu Shi, hurry up and run away on your horse. When you run away, the general will ride after you on his horse and then make you the prime minister."

Li Cai, who was dozing off nearby, woke up and said excitedly: Great, great, great!

Everyone else in the court laughed.

Normally people don't laugh in the court.

Unless you can't help it.

Now I really can't help it.

Huo Hai actually told such a cold joke at this time.

Liu Che still didn't know what Huo Hai was thinking? Huo Hai was clearly trying to stir up trouble on purpose to make him angry so that he wouldn't be allowed to attend court anymore. Liu Che wasn't fooled and laughed, "Hahaha, Bu Shi, why don't you try it?"

Bu Shi: "Bu Shi does not try."

Huo Hai: "Punch means deduction of money..."

All members of the three boards of directors of the ranch openly frolicked in the court, and the court was filled with laughter.

Liu Che suppressed his smile this time: "Okay, let's talk business in the court, don't keep making jokes... Is this the idiom?"

This idiom was selected by Huo Hai himself for inclusion in the idiom collection. After all, it is an idiom from later generations. If Huo Hai had not selected it, this word would never have existed in this life.

Originally it referred to the funny actions or language inserted by opera and folk art performers into their performances.

In this era, "ke" means paragraph and "huo" means joke.

The meaning of "gag" is to add a joke into a normal article, which is extended to mean an inappropriate joke.

The meaning is different, but the usage is basically the same.

Huo Hai gave a thumbs up and flattered him: "Your Majesty is indeed a studious person, the embodiment of wisdom, and a role model for our generation! You learn quickly and are far ahead, far ahead."

Liu Che put away his smile and felt that Huo Hai's participation in the court meeting was more interesting than before. In the past, everyone was nervous at the court meeting, but now it ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

But we have to go, after all, we are hungry.

Liu Che: "Okay, okay, do you have anything else to report or discuss? If not, I will leave the court."

Everyone was packing up and preparing to go back home to see their mothers.

Lu Bushu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I saw a strange sight in Chang'an County yesterday."

Liu Che: “Oh?”

Liu Che did not expect that the two sides would start fighting before the battle even started.

Lü Bushu: "Yesterday, I saw from across the highway that all the neighborhoods of Chang'an County near the highway were demolishing their walls."

"There are a total of 25 villages, and all of them have had their walls demolished."

Liu Che knew that Lü Bushu and the others were acting, but he continued to act along. After all, a big show couldn't end just as it began. "Oh?! Have you heard of it, my dear ministers?"

Behind the Imperial Censor Zhang Ou, Imperial Censor Lin Lian stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a complaint!"

Next to him, the Imperial Censor Hu Qian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a complaint!"

Next, several people from the Censorate stood up.

Liu Che said calmly: "Oh? Hu Qian, you speak first."

Hu Qian: "Your Majesty, Lord Huo Hai, the Junior Lieutenant of Chang'an, ordered Lieutenant Tian Jue and other soldiers to force the people of 25 villages along the Chi Road to tear down the outer walls of their villages, disrupting their livelihoods and causing widespread complaints!"

Liu Che: "You are suing for this too!?"

The other censors were nodding.

As smart as Dong Zhongshu was, he had already reminded Shi Qing: "Stop talking, something is wrong."

If it was really a forced demolition, the Jinyi envoy should have reported it to Emperor Wu of Han. Even if Emperor Wu of Han did not want to punish, but if all the officials complained, Emperor Wu of Han would not have reacted with a little curiosity now.

Unless the Jinyi envoy did not file a complaint.

That means there is no such thing as forced demolition!

We are a group of people who are wrong!
Liu Che: "Do you have any evidence?"

The group of people were at a loss.

Should you just talk about the evidence? According to the procedure, shouldn't you ask someone to investigate?
However, at this moment, the court judge Zhao Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I received a complaint yesterday about this matter, and there are witnesses."

Huo Hai's expression became serious.

Those scholars were not ordinary scholars, but devoted themselves to studying classics. It was obvious that they had never done any dirty work.

But Zhao Yu is different.

It was obvious that Zhao Yu had discovered yesterday that this group of scholars were contacting people from the Censorate to file a complaint.

So prepare... to kill with a borrowed knife!
Even if Liu Che did not believe the complaint from the Censorate at first, it would be a different story if there was witnesses. If the Censorate complained and the Chief Justice also said there was evidence, then the news from two different sources both said that the building was forced to be destroyed.

Zhao Yu smiled secretly at this time. This trick has been tried by many people. Your Majesty, I particularly hate people who break the law. If there is any evidence, at least they will be stripped of their titles, dismissed from their posts, and fined.

Huo Hai also knew what Zhao Yu was doing.

But Huo Hai was not afraid at all.

If others were faced with this situation, they might be stunned and confused, and finally be beaten to death without any resistance.

But who is Huo Hai?
