"I wonder what the emperor and the eldest princess want my teacher to say?" Huo Guang was silent for a moment and then asked the two of them directly. He also unceremoniously called himself his teacher in front of the emperor and the eldest princess.
"Teacher, please teach me how to govern the country. Where should the big man go after the teacher leaves?" Liu Jin kneeled down in front of the desk and asked respectfully with his head slightly lowered.
"The foundation of the country should be the people. The Han Dynasty has been through wars for a long time and has consumed too much of its resources in the past few decades. However, the potential of the Han Dynasty's large population is still there. Your Majesty should implement the policy of recuperation and recuperation, reduce corvee and light labor, encourage farming, and encourage fertility. It only takes more than ten years for the Han Dynasty to return to its heyday." Huo Guang didn't say any more irrelevant words and went straight to the topic.
This kind of recuperation policy is almost a policy that a country must implement after a war or disaster. Huo Guang does not have any unique insights on this matter, because no matter how powerful Huo Guang is, he must act accordingly. Recuperation and recuperation are the foundation of everything. Only when a country has a foundation can we talk about development. Everyone knows that today's big men can no longer withstand the hardships.
"To recuperate and recuperate, we only need to restart Wenjing's policy. However, the country is large and has many things to do. It needs wise ministers internally and officials externally. I wonder who the teacher thinks can be used in the court?" Liu Jin also agreed with the national policy of recuperating and recuperating, even if Huo Guang would do it even if he didn't say it. However, whether an emperor can govern a country well does not depend on the emperor's personal ability, but requires the assistance of capable ministers and officials. The wise kings and saints who have achieved great achievements in the past must be surrounded by many wise ministers. Those great achievements cannot be achieved by one person.
This is actually a reflection of the emperor's ability to recognize people. His grandfather Liu Che was the emperor who was the best at recognizing people throughout the ages. Whether it was the generals of the three princes, the county guards and the border generals, or even the small officials of Qiangu, Dr. Yin and Yang, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he could They all use their talents. Huo Guang also has the same advantages. Civil servants, generals, officials, scholars and even professional craftsmen, these people can be discovered by Huo Guang and entrusted with important tasks, and finally play an role beyond imagination.
"There are still a few available people in the court, and the late Emperor has already arranged for these people for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty dares to use them, there are actually two more" Huo Guang knew what Liu Jin meant, and his disciple was just I want to hear my own opinions and select a few real ministers of the humerus.
"Oh? Who is it?" Liu Jin asked eagerly. This is what he is most concerned about and the most urgent thing at the moment.
After Huo Guang left, the court was without a leader. Originally there was Sang Hongyang, but his recent attitude was a bit strange. It seemed that his mind was not on government affairs, and he had complained of illness several times and had not gone to court. What Liu Jin needs most right now is a person who can lead the government.
"Sima Qian is old and prudent, and his actions are prudent and dignified. The Sima family has been a Han official for generations. This person can sit in the center. If your majesty is not afraid of the world's doubts, he can make Sima Qian the prime minister. In addition, Su Wu is young and powerful, loyal, brave and resolute, and has a broad knowledge of the world. No one can surpass him. This person is a talented general and prime minister. If there are foreign affairs, Su Wu can make a decision. In fact, I have trained these two people for Your Majesty for many years These two people can complement each other internally and externally. , the court should have no worries. With Zhang Anshi, Shangguan Jie and others, your Majesty's court is actually full of talents." Huo Guang continued, but he recommended Sima Qian and Su Wu to Liu Jin.
"Teacher is so kindstudent is ashamed" Before Liu Jin could say anything, Liu Xijun looked at Huo Guang and said with surprise and emotion. Her eyes were slightly moist at this moment. When she heard Huo Guang say that he had trained Sima Qian and Su Wu in Hexi a few years ago, in fact, the purpose was to have them assist Liu Jin in Chang'an. As a woman, her heart really I have been deeply touched.
"In addition Your Majesty can transfer Wang Yuanyou back. As long as this person is here, Your Majesty will be safe!" Huo Guang did not say anything sensational to Liu Jin and Liu Xijun, but continued to mention another person.
"Teacher, won't you take Marquis Yangwu away?" Liu Jin also asked Huo Guang in disbelief. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not dare to use this Wang Yuanyou because he was too powerful as a general. The key is that this person was only loyal to Dongfang Shuo and Huo Guang, so that this unique genius is still being shelved in North Korea.
"He is a great official of the Han Dynasty, let him stay where he belongs" Huo Guang also likes Wang Yuanyou very much, but he has no hobby of collecting. Not all famous officials and generals must be collected. Under his command.
"What about the 80,000 cavalry in Yuyang Shanggu?" Liu Jin looked a little overjoyed, and he asked Huo Guang about the 80,000 cavalry in the northern border county. This army is also a worry for the Han Dynasty and Chang'an today. It is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally to allow an army from a prince to be stationed in a border county.
"When I return to Hexi, I will send an order for this army to return to Juyanze." Huo Guang seemed to have a plan in mind, and he replied as soon as Liu Jin asked him.
Liu Jin was overjoyed when he heard that Huo Guang would withdraw his troops. So he quickly said: "When the teacher evacuates the Anyang army, I will order Yangwuhou to garrison the fishermen."?The first line of Shanggu. "
"Your Majesty can arrange these matters, the Huns have nothing to worry about!" Huo Guang said confidently.
Liu Jin was stunned for a moment before he remembered. The Han's confidants were originally greatly troubled by the Huns, but now they have nominally surrendered to the Han. "I wonder if the imperial court should use peace tactics to deal with the Huns in the future?" Liu Jin continued to ask.
"I will help Wuya unify the Xiongnu in my lifetime, which may ensure the peace of the two tribes for a hundred years." Huo Guang continued.
"Teacher, there is no way to solve the problem once and for all?" Liu Jin asked with some disappointment. The Huns are the confidants of the Han Dynasty. The war between the two races has lasted for hundreds of years. It is the wish of every ruler to completely eliminate the Huns once and for all or make them surrender forever. .
"There is no real way to get rid of it once and for all Even if the Qiang people are trapped in the snowy area, they may be able to walk down the plateau again hundreds of years later. Only by being strong can we ensure that we will not be surpassed, and it is impossible to massacre the Huns." , but there are a few aspects that Your Majesty needs to pay attention to in the future." Huo Guang shook his head and said with a smile, it is already great for a person to be able to see a few years and ten years, and he can be called great if he can influence for a hundred years. As for more distant changes, no one can guarantee it.
"Teacher, please clarify." Liu Jin asked respectfully.
"Your Majesty must be careful to prevent the barbarians from migrating inland. Nowadays, the border counties are in decline. Not only the Han people, but also the Xiongnu and other tribes are struggling. I am afraid that a large number of foreigners will join in the near future. Your Majesty must not completely enrich the border counties with foreigners. This will lead to The source of disaster must be guarded against!" Huo Guang said solemnly with a serious expression.
"The student has noted it down!" Liu Jin said seriously. Although he didn't know why Huo Guang was so wary of the inward migration of the Hu people, he still remembered it in his heart.
"Even if it comes to the need to immigrate the Hu people inland, the ratio must be strictly controlled. The Han people must be at least twice as many as the foreigners. Please keep this in mind, Your Majesty." Huo Guang knew very well how the dark period of hundreds of years was caused in later generations, and for those who did not He couldn't control what happened, and even now it was difficult to have such a long-term impact, but he also hoped that he had planted this seed in the heart of Liu Jin, the Han emperor, and it might have some positive effects in the future.
"In additionfor the barbarian vassals surrounding the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty can promote the Han culture to them. You only need to slowly and slowly encroach on them, destroy their original culture and beliefs, and completely Chineseize them. This process will be very long. It grows very slowly, but as long as a few generations persist, the big man will have no worries about foreigners. This is actually the real once and for all." Huo Guang continued, expressing some of his thoughts.
In the past, Huo Guang¡¯s attitude towards foreigners was usually to kill and drive them away. However, Huo Guang also knew that this method was only a temporary relief and could solve temporary problems, but it could not fundamentally solve the hidden dangers. The only way to completely solve the problem is to carry out cultural genocide and racial integration. In the end, there will be no foreign races in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, and everyone will become Han Chinese from the blood and soul.
"I will sort out these ideas later and submit them to Your Majesty!" Huo Guang thought for a while and felt that this was a very complicated matter. He couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so he felt that it would be better to write it directly in the form of a letter.
"Okay, today, as well as the teacher's subsequent memorial, the students will order someone to compile it into a volume and place it in Tianlu Pavilion. Starting from me, "Anyang King's Strategy for the Governance of the Country" will be what the Han emperor must learn." Liu Jin hurriedly To express his position, Huo Guang's arrangements and the contents of his letter must be compiled into a volume, which will become a must-learn content for the Han emperors in the future.
"It's my luck that your Majesty is so thoughtful, so let's end it today. I hope the emperor will take care of himself in the future. I still have many things to deal with, so I'm resigning!" Huo Guang suddenly stood up and said his resignation to Liu Jin.
Without waiting for Liu Jin¡¯s reply, Huo Guang turned around and walked outside Tianlu Pavilion. He left with a certain determination, as if he had no unnecessary words to say to the two disciples.
"Wait a minute" Just when Huo Guang walked to the door of Tianlu Pavilion and was about to step out, Liu Xijun's voice suddenly came from behind.
"What? Is there anything wrong with the eldest princess?" Huo Guang stopped and stood at the door. He didn't look back, he just asked lightly with his back to the two of them.
"HahaEldest Princess Farewell today or forever. Teacher is really so unwilling to call my name for the last time?" Liu Xijun looked at Huo Guang's back and said with some self-deprecation.
"Youtake care of yourself" Huo Guang finally didn't look back and strode out of Tianlu Pavilion.
Liu Xijun looked at Huo Guang's retreating back. At this moment, her eyes flashed back to the same figure from the Taixue hometown a few years ago. However, at that time, she was just a criminal hiding behind the plum tree. daughter.
Huo Guang walked out of Tianlu Pavilion, but did not leave Weiyang Palace directly. Instead, he went directly to Wutai Hall through the road in Weiyang Palace. This was once the temporary location of the general's office.And now that Huo Guang has become the King of Anyang, this place will no longer be the general's office.
The Wutai Palace is still busy, but unlike the previous busy days, most of the officials here are packing their things. Originally, the officials in the general's office would follow Huo Guang to Hexi, that is, the Anyang Kingdom in two days. As Huo Guang's former subordinates, it was no longer appropriate for them to stay in Chang'an as officials, and the court could not safely use these people.
"Welcome the king." All the officials in the Wutai Palace who saw Huo Guang bowed and saluted, and Huo Guang walked straight to his original seat, which was in the center of the hall, where the general's seat originally belonged.
"Pack your things and take your family to Dunhuang. Lord Dayuan has arranged everything for you. For those who don't want to go to Anyang Kingdom, I will buy a lot of money and land for you." Huo Guang was in charge, as if He usually talks to his subordinates.
"I am willing to follow the king to the death." The officials in the palace, led by Du Yannian and Sima Qian, bowed and said. They all also know that after being branded as Huo Guang in this life, they can only follow the Anyang King for the rest of their lives.
"Sima Qian" Huo Guang continued to speak, calling Sima Qian's name alone.
"I'm here." Sima Qian was originally the general Sima, but now there are no generals in the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian lost his official position. However, he also made up his mind to return to Dunhuang with Huo Guang. He was no stranger there, and even there he You can also see the true size of the world.
"You stay in Chang'an. Your Majesty has other uses for you, so you don't have to go back to Dunhuang alone." Huo Guang asked Sima Qian to stay.
"This" Sima Qian was a little surprised. He didn't know what Huo Guang meant.
Seeing that Sima Qian was a little confused, Huo Guang continued: "Your family has lived in Chang'an for many generations, and they are all loyal men. Your talents should not be trapped in one place. You should belong to Chang'an, stay here This is your stage."
"I wonder if this is His Highness's intention or His Majesty's intention?" Sima Qian had worked with Huo Guang for many years, and he already knew Huo Guang very well. Sima Qian knew that Huo Guang would not say such things just on a whim.
"I have already told His Majesty the idea of ??being lonely." Huo Guang looked at Sima Qian. Over the past few years, he and Sima Qian had also established a deep friendship. He asked Sima Qian and Su Wu to stay in Chang'an. From a personal emotional point of view, Huo Guang also Reluctant to part with it. But as a friend, he felt that these two people who could have been more dazzling than in the original history books should not be buried, and only Chang'an could make them more dazzling than in the original history.
"I obey," Sima Qian bowed to Huo Guang without saying anything else.
Next, Huo Guang and the kings were busy packing their bags and returning to the country. But the day before Huo Guang and the other kings left, a petition in the name of King Anyang was handed to the emperor.
This is not Huo Guang¡¯s strategy for governing the country, but his petition to voluntarily return the fiefdom of Anyang County, Hanoi County. Now that there is an Anyang Kingdom, the existence of Anyang County in Hanoi County is a bit nondescript. The key is that Huo Guang's more than 16,000 households are almost the number of households in the entire Anyang County.
Liu Jin immediately agreed to Huo Guang's proposal and publicized Huo Guang's move. At the same time, he issued an edict to change Anyang County to Yecheng.
Finally, the day came for the Han kings to leave Chang'an. On this day, Chang'an seemed unusually quiet. People rarely go out, and a large number of troops patrol the streets of Chang'an. Some streets are even under martial law, leaving specific marching routes for the kings' ceremonial guards.
Huo Guang¡¯s ceremonial guard walked out of the former Anyang Marquis Mansion. He and the other kings went in a different direction. Because the Anyang Kingdom was in the west of Hexi, Huo Guang was the only one who needed to leave the city from the west gate of Chang¡¯an.
The area outside the west city of Chang'an was deserted, with no trace of pedestrians or business travelers. Perhaps to avoid suspicion, no one from Chang'an came to see Huo Guang off, not even Sima Qian and Su Wu. The outside of Chang'an City in midsummer is lush and lush, but for some reason today there is a bleak feeling in autumn. The team of thousands of people slowly moved westward, and the chaotic sound of horse hooves mixed with the sound of wheels, seemed to become an extremely discordant noise in this silent world.
In the group that was getting further and further away, a head stuck out from the most gorgeous and spacious carriage. Huo Guang habitually looked back at the tall and majestic Chang'an Tower. His eyes were a little complicated, but extremely calm, with no regrets or unwillingness. , and there is no reluctance or nostalgia. It's as if he is just a passerby in this world, this Chang'an City, and never belongs here
The name of this book is The Fengjiang of the Great Han Dynasty. In fact, it can be concluded by writing about King Huo Guang¡¯s Fengjiang. However, considering that there are still some holes to fill in the front, I decided to write a few more chapters. Anyway, it is not short of tens of thousands of words. And this chapter can also be seen as an ending! The ending of history is actually very helpless and even cruel.Because he is not like a fairy who can make people live forever. No matter how powerful the protagonists of historical novels are, they will all die, and people will change. Just like Liu Jin also changed after gaining the throne, no one can know what will happen in history. What path to take. If you like to stay in the beauty and fantasy, just think of this chapter as the finale, and you don¡¯t need to read the rest!
