"Zhang Gan" Sang Hongyang tapped his fingers lightly on the railing and repeated Zhang Gan's name. Zhang Gan is the censor of Yushitai, and now he can be regarded as Sang Hongyang's subordinate.
"Pass my order. If these people come to visit me in the future, they will all say that I am not here." Sang Hongyang suddenly said after a moment, and even listed these people as those who would never interact with him.
"No." The servant behind Sang Hongyang agreed.
As Sang Hongyang¡¯s status and power increased, he also established some secret forces. The slave behind him was no longer an ordinary slave, but the leader of Sang Hongyang¡¯s dead men and intelligence system. This seems to be just the most ordinary servant in the house, but he is Sang Hongyang's true confidant.
"Do you have the recent whereabouts of Marquis Wan Guan?" Suddenly Sang Hongyang mentioned another person.
If there is anyone whom Sang Hongyang admires in the purely commercial field, then there is only one person in the whole Han Dynasty who is Lu Shu. But it's a pity that everyone knows that Lu Shu is Huo Guang's confidant. Lu Shu actually left Hexi two years ago. Even when the war in the Western Regions is fierce now, this business leader under Huo Guang has not returned to Hexi.
"A year ago, Marquis Wan Guan often appeared in Shu County, and in the past year, he has been mostly in the Youbeiping area. As for what happened, my subordinates are incompetent and cannot verify it. Marquis Wan Guan also has a set of extremely confidential information channels." Sang Hongyang's confidant knelt down. Kneeling down, although he could learn Lu Shu's whereabouts, Lu Shu had been in business for many years, and outsiders could not pry into the real core things.
"Don't investigate them in the future. Anyang Hou has been in business for many years, and I'm afraid even the emperor can't infiltrate it. Let's not go in vain." Sang Hongyang waved his hands with his back to his confidants. Nowadays, Sang Hongyang also has some good temperament, and he no longer forces things that he clearly knows cannot be done.
"You Beiping What is he doing there? Lu Bode was once the prefect of You Beiping, but that was ten years ago" Sang Hongyang's fingers were on the railing again He started knocking and murmured to himself.
While Sang Hongyang was leaning on the railing and looking at the grand scene of Chang'an, Prime Minister Liu Qumo of the Left was opening the door of his mansion and standing outside the mansion dressed in fine clothes to welcome a distinguished guest.
"Liu Qumo has met His Royal Highness the King of Changyi." Liu Qumo led the whole family and bowed to a six or seven-year-old child.
Liu Kun still looked very immature, but he returned the greeting to Liu Quya in a serious manner, saying: "My little brother pays homage to the emperor."
Liu Quya was a member of the clan, so Liu Kun did not call him prime minister, but instead called him emperor brother in a somewhat nondescript manner.
"Your Highness is serious Qu Ya is not worthy of this!" Liu Qu Ya's grandson is older than Liu Yu, so Liu Qu Ya felt strange when he heard the imperial brother's name.
Li Guangli stretched out his arms and took Liu Kun off the carriage. Then he took Liu Kun's hand and said to Liu Quya: "Haha, the King of Changyi heard that the Prime Minister's new mansion was completed, and he has been clamoring to come and visit his brother. Today he has nothing to do, so he came to disturb the Prime Minister."
"Your Highness has come to see you, how can you say that you are disturbing me? Please come inside!" Liu Qumo bowed slightly and said, then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Logically speaking, Liu Kun has already been granted a royal title and should not have private dealings with important officials in the court. However, he was too young, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not appoint him as prime minister. Even Changyi State currently has counties and counties in charge. Even if he did something outrageous at his age, no censor would be interested in impeaching him.
Liu Quya was also cautious this time. When he greeted Liu Kun, not only did he wait outside in person, but he also brought his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. It looked like Liu Kun was visiting relatives, but in fact they were indeed relatives.
"Didn't His Highness say that he wanted to see the difference between the Prime Minister's mansion and the place where His Highness lives? Why don't you ask the Prime Minister to make arrangements!" Walking into Liu Quya's mansion, Li Guangli suddenly said to Liu Kun.
"Since His Highness wants to take a look, Madam, please lead His Highness around on my behalf." Liu Quya said as he took advantage of the situation, and asked his wife to take Liu Kun to other places in his house.
Liu Kun raised his head and stared at Li Guangli, showing a trace of doubt. However, when his eyes met Li Guangli's, he followed Mrs. Liu Quyou away obediently.
After Liu Kun and others left, Liu Qusha said to Li Guangli: "I heard that Captain Li is very interested in ancient books. I happen to have a few ancient books in my study. Why don't you go to the study and take a look?"
"Of course it's what you want," Li Guangli said as he raised his hands to Liu Quya, with a look of joy and expectation on his face.
Liu Quya's study room was simply decorated. Li Guangli and Liu Quya sat opposite each other, not really reading or discussing any ancient books.
"Now that the prime minister is in office, Chang'an City has become a popular place.With the new era, it won¡¯t be long before the great Han Dynasty can reach a higher level under the rule of the Prime Minister. It is really the great fortune of the great Han Dynasty and the great fortune of the common people! "Li Guangli opened his mouth with some exaggerated compliments.
Liu Quya didn't know what this Chang'an upstart meant, but with his self-cultivation and city government, he just smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The captain is ridiculous, I am just the prime minister of the left. The prime minister of this big man is also It¡¯s not that easy to do!¡±
"Haha, it is indeed difficult to be a prime minister, especially the prime minister of this dynasty. However, since the prince is a member of the clan, it is different from the previous prime ministers." Li Guangli naturally knew what it meant that the prime minister was not easy to do, so he mentioned Liu Qu The identity of the Yak clan.
"I have little talent and little knowledge, and because of your majesty's great love, I have no choice but to serve the country and my ancestors with my life!" Liu Quyou replied calmly. The so-called family, country, and world, as a clan member, Liu Quya, in his eyes, his family, country, and world belong to the Liu family, and what he did was only what a clan member should do.
Li Guangli looked at Liu Quya and smiled when he heard this, and then said seriously: "The prime minister's heart for the country is really a blessing to the world, but the prime minister should still think about the future."
"What does this mean?" Liu Quya's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were no longer looking at Li Guangli as kindly as before.
"Alasthe Prime Minister has already planted the disaster for the Yi people, but he still doesn't know it?" Li Guangli said with a worried look.
Liu Quya looked at Li Guangli with an increasingly unkind expression, and then said in a deep voice: "I treat the captain as a guest, is it possible that the captain is here to entertain me?"
"Prime Minister, please calm down. It's really my nephew who couldn't bear the Prime Minister's harm to the whole family in the future, so he asked me to come and tell the truth!" Li Guangli said quickly and sincerely, as if he was thinking about Liu Quyou wholeheartedly.
"Captain, if you have something to say, just say it." After all, Liu Quya was a mature man and would not chase guests away just because of a few words.
Li Guangli stood up, bowed to Liu Quya, and then solemnly said: "Actually, this is not the fault of the Prime Minister alone, but the fault of His Highness the King of Changyi. I came to look for the Prime Minister today, and it is really to protect myself. For the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the King of Changyi!"
"That's nonsense. Your Highness is the son of the emperor and the majestic king of the Han Dynasty. Even I am also a son of the clan and a descendant of the great ancestor. Without your majesty's order, who dares to harm us?" Liu Quyou said slightly angrily.
Liu Qusao ??is the dignified Prime Minister Zuo, the son of the upright King of Zhongshan Liu Sheng. He is an upright royal family included in the Han clan genealogy, and is not a failed clan like the later generations of Big Er Liu. In his bloodline, there is still the arrogance of the Liu family. Even the emperor cannot easily deprive them of their lives. If anyone wants to murder them, they will be enemies of the entire Han Dynasty and the entire Liu family.
"Sigh The Prime Minister is confused The Prime Minister's thorough investigation of Gongsun He's case has naturally protected the country of the Han Dynasty, but the Prime Minister has forgotten that Gongsun He and Wei, his wife and others, they can They are all the prince's confidants one is his uncle, one is his cousin, and there are two biological sisters Prime Minister, do you think the prince will not be jealous?" Li Guangli looked sincere, and even more He looked a little sad.
"Humph, I am acting according to the emperor's will, what can the prince do to me?" Liu Quya said with great righteousness.
"To put it bluntly, how many days does the Prime Minister think His Majesty has? When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I am afraid that the first one to fall will be you, the Prime Minister! And my poor nephew, who is too old to leave the country. In order to stabilize his position, the prince probably couldn't keep him" Li Guangli was very good at observing words and expressions, and he found that although Liu Quya spoke uprightly, his expression was actually a little unnatural.
"This" Liu Quyou was at a loss for words for a moment. Although Li Guangli said it straightforwardly, it was probably something that would really happen. And when the throne changes like this, people like Liu Quya and Liu Kun will never escape death.
And Liu Quya had to admit that Li Guangli was right when he said something, that is, there was not much time left for the emperor
"Yesterday, the Master talked about King Zhou Cheng for His Highness. Later, Your Highness asked me quietly, has there ever been a Duke of Zhou in the Han Dynasty in the past hundred years? Originally, I told Your Highness that there is no Duke of Zhou in the Han Dynasty. But today it suddenly occurred to me that in fact, the Han Dynasty might actually have a Duke of Zhou. A Duke of Zhou" Li Guangli felt that the Marquis of Fire was almost here, so he said to Liu Quya with a sincere face.
Liu Quya also looked at Li Guangli. From the word Zhou Gong, he probably guessed what Li Guangli wanted to say. Li Guangli's previous words had indeed made Liu Quyou weigh in his mind. He would definitely not let the crown prince succeed to the throne. He knew this very well. He would also not keep Liu Kun, a son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in Chang'an. Once the crown prince ascends the throne, the first two to die are him, Liu Quyou, and Changyi King Liu Kun.
"I think I am Ji Dan" Li Guangli bowed to Liu Quya again, this time with great solemnity.
Ji Dan?? is the name of the Duke of Zhou who assisted King Cheng. At that time, the young King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to the throne. Ji Dan assisted King Cheng as a clan member, pushing the rule of the Zhou Dynasty to a peak and creating a famous period in history. good story.
"You want me to murder the prince? And then support him as the king of Changyi?" Liu Quya narrowed his eyes and whispered.
"No, no, no The prime minister is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. How could he do anything to murder the prince? King Changyi only wanted to protect himself, but he never had the idea of ??peeking at the throne. In fact, as long as the prince does not succeed to the throne, he Whoever succeeds will be beneficial to us!" Li Guangli waved his hands quickly. Knowing some things in his heart is completely different from saying it out loud. No one will admit that he is going to do something treasonous.
Liu Quya lowered his head, as if he was deep in thought. After a long time, he raised his head and said: "If it were for the country, I would be shattered to pieces. However, I will never participate in anything that is treasonous and unethical!"
"It's natural, as long as the prime minister is willing!" Li Guangli knew that he and Liu Quya had reached a consensus. As for the extent of the consensus, it depends on the effect of his subsequent arrangements.
King Changyi and Li Guangli quickly said goodbye and left Liu Qumo's mansion. After sending the two of them away, Liu Quya returned to the study alone. At this moment, there is a scroll placed on his desk. This was given to him by Liu Kun, the king of Changyi, when he said goodbye. It can be regarded as a gift for visiting him.
"Although this painting was not written by His Highness, the inscription was written by His Highness after three days and nights of hard work." What Li Guangli said when he left came to Liu Qumo's mind.
Liu Quya stretched out his hand to unroll the scroll, and soon the scroll unfolded, and two people, an old man and a young man, appeared on it. The child on the scroll was dressed like an emperor, sitting on a chariot. The old man was holding the chariot and moving forward slowly with the child in imperial clothes. The signature is "Liu Kun", and the handwriting seems a bit immature, but can only be considered neat.
"The picture of Duke Zhou carrying the chariot Is this a promise to me?" Liu Qumo looked at this very meaningful picture and whispered to himself, but there was a trace of vagueness in his eyes. expect!
"The picture of the Duke of Zhou carrying the chariot Haha One wants to be the Duke of Zhou and the other wants to be the king It's really big-hearted" Deep in the inner courtyard of Anyang Hou Mansion, Huo Tang held a piece of paper between his fingers, a smile on his face, and said with a slightly mocking tone.
The smile faded, and she placed the piece of paper on the candlestick. Then the paper turned into a wisp of ashes and fell to the ground silently.
