Han official!

Chapter 166 Prince
Inside the official temple in Chang'an.

Some people had been waiting for Guo Jie's arrival. The one hundred white horses were very eye-catching, and the news spread to Chang'an at a very fast speed.

Sang Hongyang, Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang stopped their official duties and went to the official temple together, anxiously waiting for Guo Jie's arrival.

A hundred white horses are better than all official duties.

As long as Sang Hongyang had a hundred white horses, he would have the opportunity to serve as a ritual official.

"Why hasn't Guo Jie come yet?"

Sang Hongyang could no longer sit still, so he stood up and paced around the room.

He looked at the door from time to time, hoping to see Guo Jie coming in.

After waiting for most of the day, Guo Jie should have arrived in Chang'an by now.

Guo Jie had not yet arrived at the official temple in Chang'an, which made Sang Hongyang extremely anxious.

"Don't panic."

Zhao Yu consoled him, saying, "Don't worry. Guo Jie has gone to such great lengths to go to Dishan and retrieve a hundred white horses. He won't give them away to anyone else."

Zhang Tang nodded and said, "That's right. Guo Jie is one of us, and one I personally promoted. He has decent character and would definitely not sell the white horse to anyone else."

What they both said makes sense.

There is really no need to worry about Guo Jie's character.

However, as long as Guo Jie did not come and saw the one hundred white horses.

Sang Hongyang could never feel at ease.

Just because one hundred white horses are of great importance.

There is no room for error.

"The white horse is coming!"

A familiar voice appeared at the gate of the yard, followed by a familiar figure.

Guo Jie walked in laughing, followed by a hundred white horses, almost filling the entire yard.

"You finally came."

Sang Hongyang was overjoyed and hurried out to greet Guo Jie. "Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for so long. I almost wanted to bring people to look for you myself."

"Haha."

Guo Jie laughed and said, "The dust has been flying all the way here. The white horse is covered in dust and is almost turning gray."

"To make the white horses more beautiful, I went to the stables in Chang'an and cleaned all the white horses."

Just as Guo Jie said, the white horse looked even better after being washed.

Sang Hongyang couldn't wait to walk over and surrounded the white horse, his face full of ecstasy.

He stood nearby, his eyes almost dazzled, but he kept watching.

All the white horses in the yard, just as Guo Jie had said, had very white fur without exception.

"Haha."

Sang Hongyang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Looking at the groups of white horses before him, he said happily, "You have done me a great favor this time. If you have any needs, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to meet you."

Guo Jie smiled but said nothing.

Land is definitely indispensable.

There was only one thing he wanted most.

military power.

Sang Hongyang understood Guo Jie's thoughts and knew what he really wanted.

"do not worry."

Sang Hongyang couldn't take his eyes off the white horse. He said happily, "When I become the Supervisor of Ceremonies, I will definitely get more beacon towers for you. With my position as Supervisor of Ceremonies, I won't just give you one beacon tower."

"it is good!"

This is what Guo Jie was waiting for: "With this promise, all my efforts to find a hundred white horses are worthwhile."

The white horse is already in hand.

Sang Hongyang had no intention of staying any longer, so he immediately called over a few officials and took all the white horses to Shanglin Garden.

He was going to Shanglin Garden and present all the white horses to the emperor in exchange for the position of ritual official.

After Sang Hongyang left, Guo Jie walked into the room and said solemnly, "I have found evidence that Di Shan is secretly communicating with the Xiongnu. I ask the two superiors to send soldiers to capture Di Shan."

Zhang Tang nodded and said, "Don't worry about this matter. As soon as the news of Bai Ma reached Chang'an, soldiers were sent to capture Di Shan."

He paused and continued, "As for confiscating Di Shan's property, you will do it yourself and will not hand it over to anyone else."

Guo Jie was waiting for this sentence. He did not stay in the room any longer. He turned around and left, and hurried to confiscate the property of the entire Dishan family.

He knew very well that even if he sent soldiers there in advance, he would still have to put aside the matter of confiscating Di Shan's property.

Because confiscating property is a lucrative job, many officials are waiting to have their property confiscated so they can get rich.

Only Guo Jie would not secretly swallow up most of the confiscated property.

More than anyone else, Guo Jie wanted to confiscate more property and hand it all over to the government.

In Guo Jie's view, all these properties were used to buy titles and atone for sins.

Guo Jie was waiting for the confiscation of property. After getting Zhang Tang's consent, he did not hesitate at all and was ready to dig three feet deep into Di Shan's house to find all the property.

Di Shan is indeed a great hero.

It took two full days just to confiscate the property.

Guo Jie confiscated the property from Di Shan's house and distributed some money to his brothers, no more than 100,000 coins to each.

The final fortune he obtained was still a full seven million yuan.

Even Guo Jie himself was shocked by this amount.

He never imagined that Di Shan's home also had so much money hidden.

With this batch of property, Guo Jie's progress in buying a title to atone for his sins reached 60%.

Only the last 40% is left.

Guo Jie was getting closer and closer to the final step of buying a title to atone for his sins. It wouldn't be long before he would be able to get rid of all the charges that had been hanging over his head.

"Haha."

Just as Guo Jie was thinking about where to confiscate the property of the powerful, an acquaintance walked into the official temple, found Guo Jie working at his office, and burst into laughter.

Wei Guang walked in and said ecstatically, "Wei Zifu is pregnant. If she gives birth to a baby boy, he will be crowned the crown prince."

The queen has never been pregnant, and the emperor has no children.

Now, Wei Zifu is pregnant. As long as she gives birth to a baby boy, he will be the future crown prince of the Han Dynasty.

By that time, Wei Zifu might also be crowned as queen.

The Wei family will become the most honorable in-laws in the world.

When Guo Jie heard this, his face changed and he no longer had any intention of working.

What Wei Guang said was wrong. It was not an if. The child born by Wei Zifu would be the future crown prince.

Wei Guang's purpose of coming here was very simple. He wanted Guo Jie to go over and protect Wei Zifu from being killed by Queen Chen Ajiao.

The fighting in the palace was fierce and tragic.

Chen Ajiao, who has never been pregnant, is likely to poison Wei Zifu in order to maintain her status.

Wei Guang thought about it and decided that the only person who could protect Wei Zifu was someone he could trust enough.

Only Guo Jie is left.

First of all, Guo Jie was able to kill a tiger with his bare hands, so he was able to protect Wei Zifu.

In addition, Guo Jie married Wei Guang's eldest sister and became a member of the imperial family.

Guo Jie and the Wei family shared honor and disgrace.

If the prince in Wei Zifu's belly was killed, Guo Jie, as a member of the imperial family, would not have a good ending.

Guo Jie smiled bitterly: "After all, I couldn't escape it. I haven't completed buying the title to atone for my sins yet, and another big trouble has occurred." If Wei Zifu gave birth to a baby boy, it would mean she gave birth to a prince.

All the in-laws of the Wei family were happy, with only one exception.

Guo Jie.

Of course he knew that it was a great thing that Wei Zifu gave birth to the prince, but he also knew another thing better.

The disaster of witchcraft.

In the future, the prince will be involved in a great crime of genocide. Not only will the prince himself be killed, but even the queen Wei Zifu will commit suicide.

The Wei family, the in-laws' clan, was purged.

Very few people survived.

Many of the Wei family's in-laws were killed.

Guo Jie couldn't guarantee that he could survive.

Things have come to this point and there is no room for easing.

It was impossible for Guo Jie to prevent Wei Zifu from giving birth to the prince.

It is even more impossible to stop the arrival of the historical torrent.

The only thing Guo Jie could do was to make bigger changes to save his life from the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident.

There was a gleam of cruelty in his eyes.

The situation of the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident was very complicated.

Even to later generations, there are still many theories about the witchcraft disaster and many unsolved mysteries.

Even though Guo Jie knew this period of history, he still could not see the situation of the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident clearly.

There's no way, there are too many mysteries.

Some people say that Emperor Wu of Han was deceived.

Some people also say that Emperor Wu of Han wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate his in-laws, the Wei family.

No matter what the reason was, the witchcraft disaster occurred.

If Guo Jie wanted to survive, there was only one way to go.

He helped the prince to successfully rebel.

The prince's rebellion failed, and everyone died together.

If the prince's rebellion succeeds, Guo Jie will enjoy endless wealth and glory.

"Go ahead."

Guo Jie figured it all out, made up his mind, and decided to go all the way.

"You've definitely not come here just to deliver good news. If you have something else to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will agree to it."

"Haha."

Wei Guang laughed again and said, "Within the next month, we need to quickly seize Hao Qiang's property and help my brother buy a title to atone for his sins."

"Even if you were asked to serve as a palace attendant, you wouldn't be willing. This is because you've taken so many lives, and you're probably afraid of meeting the emperor and having your debts exposed."

Guo Jie nodded and said, "That's right. Before I completely buy a title and atone for my sins, I don't want to see the emperor, let alone be a palace official."

Wei Guang said solemnly, "Although I don't know how much money my brother still needs, I have completely completed the purchase of the title to atone for my sins. For the next period of time, I will not go to the official temple for the time being. I will focus on helping you confiscate the property of the powerful."

"it is good!"

Guo Jie was waiting for these words: "Without military power, I am always short of resources and unable to exert my full potential. With the military power in your hands, it will be much easier to confiscate the property of the powerful."

The pressure to buy a title to atone for sins suddenly decreased.

Next, all you need to do is to investigate and confiscate the confiscations of several powerful people step by step, and you can complete all the atonement by buying titles.

However, there are even more serious difficulties ahead. Guo Jie wants to know Wei Guang’s true intentions.

Guo Jie asked, "After completing the purchase of the title to atone for your sins, there will be no problem in going to the palace to serve as a palace attendant. However, have you discussed this matter with Wei Qing?"

There was only one person he truly cared about.

Han Baiwei Huoli's Wei Qing.

From then on, Wei Qing was the one who decided the fate of the world.

Wei Guang said affirmatively: "Don't worry, brother. I didn't come to see you this time of my own accord, nor did I want to involve you in the palace affairs."

"Yesterday, Wei Qing found Guansi and told him about Wei Zifu's pregnancy. He wanted to find a reliable person to go to the palace to protect Wei Zifu."

Although Wei Qing, Wei Zifu and Wei Guang were brothers and sisters, their relationship was not harmonious and even a little unfamiliar.

Before they came of age, they rarely met, until Wei Zifu entered the palace.

Wei Qing, Wei Guang and others became in-laws, and they shared the same fate and were completely connected by the bond of their in-law status.

The relationship between brothers Wei Qing and Wei Guang gradually became closer.

Wei Qing took the initiative to find Wei Guang because he knew that Wei Guang and Guo Jie had a special relationship and wanted Guo Jie to go to the palace to protect Wei Zifu.

After all, Guo Jie's reputation of killing a tiger with his bare hands had long been widely known in Chang'an.

Only such a brave man went to personally protect Wei Zifu.

Only then could Wei Qing be completely relieved.

When Guo Jie heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was Wei Qing's idea, it was fine.

He was very clear about Wei Qing's position in the emperor's heart. With Wei Qing's protection, he was not afraid to do anything.

As long as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were alive, Guo Jie's position would be stable and would not be threatened in any way.

The decline of the Wei family, the foreign relatives, all began with the deaths of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

If Wei Qing were still alive.

It is absolutely impossible for witchcraft to happen.

This is also what Guo Jie is most worried about.

If it was Huo Qubing, it would be easy to explain. He died young due to illness.

He did have some ways to save the life of Champion Hou Huo Qubing.

It may not be useful, but you can still make some attempts.

It is possible that Huo Qubing could survive.

Wei Qing was different. He did not die of illness, but of normal old age.

There is no panacea for longevity in the world, and Guo Jie still has no way to deal with the issue of old age and death.

Some people can live to be eighty or ninety years old, while others can only live to be fifty or sixty years old.

Wei Qing died early due to old age, and Guo Jie could not think of any way to change the situation. He could only try his best to develop a group of hidden forces.

When the prince raised his army, these forces came into play and completed the rebellion of the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident.

By that time, it would be either to imprison Emperor Wu of Han or to explain the reasons for the rebellion.

These are all slanders by villains. The prince did not really rebel.

Guo Jie was able to survive the witchcraft disaster safely.

"Which powerful person should I start with?"

Guo Jie found a way to survive the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident, and he couldn't wait to confiscate the property of the powerful.

"Don't go looking for small tyrants, try to find big tyrants and confiscate more of their property."

One month is a very tight timeframe. If one wastes time on petty tyrants, it will be impossible to quickly complete the process of buying a title and atone for one's sins.

Wei Guang nodded solemnly: "Brother, you are right. I have already considered this matter a long time ago. Instead of confiscating the property of a dozen small tyrants, it is better to confiscate the property of a few big tyrants. In addition..."

After Wei Guang gradually gained power, he changed a lot and started to become more thoughtful.

He sneered and said, "The Wei family is just a small and newly rising relative. They still have a long way to go before becoming a truly top relative."

"This is a perfect opportunity to seize the wealth of the powerful and eliminate dissidents, paving the way for the rise of the Wei family, the in-laws."
