    Outside the Shili Pavilion in the west of Chang'an City, an ordinary carriage stopped on the side of the road. Standing in the pavilion were a thin old man and a middle-aged man wearing a brown servant's shorts.  The middle-aged man stood in the shadow of the pavilion pillars, and people naturally ignored his presence. On the contrary, the thin old man, although frail in stature, was elegantly dressed and had a majestic aura that made people involuntarily  I'm going to take a few more looks.

    The guard of honor of King Anyang slowly passed by the Shili Pavilion. The guards just looked at the people in the pavilion casually and regarded them as ordinary people passing by to rest.

    "I'm going to prepare some wine today. Can Prince Anyang have a drink?" Just as Huo Guang's carriage drove past Shili Pavilion, the old man in the pavilion suddenly shouted to Huo Guang's carriage.

    "Stop." Huo Guang's voice came from the carriage.  Then the carriage stopped and the entire marching team came to an abrupt halt. The strict discipline of Huo Guang's personal guards was evident.

    "Then Huo Guang's carriage curtain was opened, and he was wearing a high crown and a beard, which had been changed into the regular clothes of kings.  The voice in the pavilion was very familiar to Huo Guang. It was Sang Hongyang.

    Huo Guang walked slowly into the pavilion. Behind him were only Du Yannian, his wife and Lu Shu. These were the only confidants he could take away.

    "A Heng" Sang Hongyang did not salute Huo Guang, but just looked at Huo Guang, and then called the name of his loyal servant A Heng behind him.

    Hearing this, A Heng took out the wine vessel from a wooden box beside him, filled the two empty glasses with wine, then put them into the tray. He lowered his head and appeared between Sang Hongyang and Huo Guang holding the tray.  .

    Huo Guang looked at Sang Hongyang, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything. He just stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass.

    "Your Highness, be careful" Zhao Yinhua whispered in Huo Guang's ear. She, Du Yannian and Lu Shu all stared at the wine glasses on the plate warily.

    Today is the day when Huo Guang returns home. No one in Chang'an is seeing him off, but only Sang Hongyang, his sworn enemy, comes to see him off. This makes Zhao Yinhua and others wary.

    "Please, King Anyang." Seeing Huo Guang pick up the wine glass indifferently, Sang Hongyang also picked up the wine glass and just said a simple word "please" in his mouth.

    Sang Hongyang made a toast and was the first to raise his head and drink it all in one gulp.  Almost at the same time, Huo Guang drank the wine in the glass without hesitation, and then put the glass back on the tray.

    "Thank you." There are only two simple words, but without the previous meeting, the situation becomes tense and tit-for-tat at every turn.

    "I returned home today. No one in Chang'an City dared to come to see me off, but only the imperial censor came. Aren't you afraid of being impeached? Are you charged with being a personal friend of the feudal lord and plotting evil intentions?" Huo Guang suddenly looked at Sang Hong.  Sheep said with a smile.

    "I am no longer a censor!" Sang Hongyang said calmly, which indeed made Huo Guang and others slightly stunned.

    "Oh? What are your plans for the future?" Huo Guang didn't ask why, he just asked Sang Hongyang's plans for the future.

    "Chang'an Academy is a good place. I plan to spend the rest of my life there. If I can study in the Academy for a few years, I will have no regrets in this life!" Sang Hongyang also showed a relaxed smile on his face.  He actually gave up his power and chose to go to Chang'an Academy to study in peace.

    Huo Guang was also a little surprised when he heard this. He said curiously: "It's really surprising that hard-earned power, you can give up just because you want to?"

    "Sometimes power can blind people. Please take care of yourself in the future, King Anyang!" Sang Hongyang said speciously.  The latter sentence was also what Huo Guang said to Liu Jin and Liu Xijun.

    "I will note it down." Huo Guang nodded and said solemnly.

    "Thenthere will be no date for the future!"

    "There will be no date for the future"

    Sang Hongyang and Huo Guang bowed to each other, which was regarded as a formal farewell.  And these two political enemies, who were once sworn enemies, have said goodbye and will never see each other again.

    Huo Guang turned around and returned to the carriage. The ceremonial guard moved slowly and continued westward.

    Just when Sang Hongyang was bidding farewell to Huo Guang, a regular court meeting was also being held in the Xuanshi Palace.  Liu Jin looked at the second seat on the civil servant side that was still empty, with a slightly ugly look on his face.

    "Have all the kings left?" Liu Jin's majestic voice sounded in the palace.

    "Your Majesty, all the kings have left." Dahongsu Wu bowed his hands and replied.

    Liu Jin looked at the courtiers in the Xuanshi Palace, and finally showed a relaxed look on his face. The kings left Chang'an, Huo Guang also left, the imperial censor Sang Hongyang had not been in court for a long time, and even the old Zongzheng Liu Anguo did not ask about political affairs. He finally  Completely took control of the government.

    "Your Majesty, the imperial censor has a memorial to present." Just when Liu Jin was about to speak again, a chamberlain walked in from outside the palace, dragging a booklet in his hand.

    "Send it up""Liu Jin said in a deep voice, his voice was majestic and majestic, and there was a sense of self-importance without anger.

    Liu Jin opened Sang Hongyang's memorial table and read it carefully in front of the civil and military officials of the court.  Soon Liu Jin closed the watch gently and handed it to the waiter beside him.

    "Read it in public." Liu Jin said, and the chamberlain took the memorial, took half a step forward, and then began to read aloud.

    Sang Hongyang's memorial was not long, and he did not make any shocking remarks. He only mentioned one thing, that is, he was suffering from a long-term illness and was no longer able to contribute to the country, so he requested to resign.

    "Since the imperial censor is ill, I will allow him to resign. I will also appoint Zhang Anshi as the censor, and he will be granted the title of Marquis of Fu Ping, and will receive the title of 600 households in the city." When the chamberlain finished reading, Liu Jin spoke directly.  Not only did Sang Hongyang's request for resignation be granted, but Zhang Anshi was immediately appointed as the imperial censor.

    Generally, the three officials such as Dr. Royal Shi, the emperor will repeatedly retain, even if it is not true, you have to do it.  However, Liu Jin didn't even act as he should and directly agreed to Sang Hongyang's resignation. His move caught the courtiers off guard.

    "I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Zhang Anshi left the table and paid his respects. He did not expect that he would become a censor. Although he was a little surprised, he did not forget the due etiquette.

    Half a month later, Huo Guang's team finally crossed the river and set foot on the land west of Hexi again.  This is still the land west of Hexi, but now its name has become Anyang Kingdom, and it has become a territory that truly belongs to Huo Guang.

    When Huo Guang returned, Anyang State first made a series of major arrangements.  First, Huo Guangzhen transferred back the 80,000 cavalry stationed on the front line of Yuyang Shanggu, and placed the 50,000 Xiongnu and Wusun cavalry in this army in Juyanze, and began to attack the north and south with Wuya's Huns royal court army on the right.  The Xian King made the power of You Xian King continue to shrink.

    Today's Dunhuang Governor's Palace has been changed to Anyang Palace, and the first decree issued by Huo Guang in the name of Anyang King was to officially canonize Li Yan as Queen Anyang.  Next, Huo An was canonized as the Crown Prince of Anyang, and Huo Zhongru was posthumously named Cheng'an Jun.  In addition to Huo Chengjun becoming the princess as usual, because Huo Guang presided over Zhao Yinhua's marriage as an elder, and because the two of them had been in love with each other as father and daughter in the past few years, they also accepted Zhao Yinhua as their daughter, and everyone in the country called her Zhao Yinhua.

    Several months after the founding of the Anyang Kingdom, Changan did not assign official positions such as Prime Minister or Taiwei to it as usual.  However, Anyang State still retains the functions of the Three Courts, and the Lord of the Dayuan is still the head of the officials.

    "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ourobazo officially submitted his credentials yesterday. He hopes to establish a national boundary with Puchanghai as the boundary. From then on, the two countries will repair and non-aggression." In the Jingyang Palace, Du Yannian, the ruler of the Lifan Academy, held a sheepskin.  Juan, said respectfully to Huo Guang.

    After the re-expansion of the Governor's Mansion, there was a majestic main hall, built in the style of the Xuanshi Hall in Chang'an, but slightly smaller in scale. This was the place where the Anyang Kingdom held court meetings, and was named Jingyang Hall by Huo Guang.

    "To submit credentials of non-aggression at this time It seems that something happened in Parthia. Perhaps Sulla has already started his Eastern Expedition? There is no need to reply to them yet, just wait and see what happens!" Huo Guang thought for a while and said  .  Judging from the time, the mission sent by Su Wu a year ago should be on the way back. Those people will still take a detour through Dian Kingdom to return to Shu County. Once they arrive in Shu County, the news will be sent to Shu County as soon as possible.  Dunhuang.

    Now that Eurobazo has occupied the Western Region and begun to bring it under its rule, there has been basically no fighting between the two armies this year. It seems that the default boundary between Puchanghai and Yangguan Yumen has become the default boundary.

    "Weapons have been forged from the iron ingots brought back from Hyderabad. In half a year, they should be able to be used by tens of thousands of elites. We have already tested this weapon, and it has a very obvious effect on the Parthian armored cavalry. Once it is equipped for tens of thousands of people, it will be used in conjunction with this weapon."  By planting crossbows made of steel, our army will no longer be afraid of the Parthian armored cavalry." Huo Tang said, she was not in favor of negotiating peace with the Parthian cavalry.  The Western Region is vast and rich, and Anyang Kingdom must capture it if it wants to grow stronger. There is no vast sea blocking it, and it can trade with the entire world through here.

    "Okay, no matter whether Sulla starts the Eastern Expedition or not, after using this new weapon and equipment, he will officially start a war with the Parthian Army. Let Xu Tuomi and Wu Ya deal with King Youxian as soon as possible, and don't want the army to go west after two passes.  We are still worried about the rear." Huo Guang had already seen the excellence of the Hyderabad steel-forged weapons. He believed that as long as the Hexi Army was equipped with a large number of such weapons, the Parthian Army would no longer have an advantage, and that would be the time for him to regain the Western Region.

    "My sister promises that the Youxian King's Department will cease to exist within half a year." Huo Tang said confidently, and the smile on his face made people think that her words were taken for granted.

    When the Anyang State of Hexi was in Li Bingma, the Han Dynasty in the Land of Hedong had begun to rest.  Liu Jin also showed a?All the qualities of a qualified emperor: he is diligent in government affairs, appoints good ministers, is not obsessed with beauty, and is diligent and frugal.  Even the construction of the mausoleum, which should have been started when he took the throne, was delayed until five years later by his decree.  Queen Wang Wengxu even set an example and restored the fine tradition of the harem skirts not reaching the floor during the reign of Emperor Wen.

    In this way, this empire, which was waiting to be revitalized, began a new round of strenuous construction from top to bottom, and a vigorous and vigorous atmosphere appeared in this huge and ancient empire.

    Chengming Hall, this palace was originally used for courtiers to rest, but now it has become the main office space for Emperor Liu Jin and his courtiers.  Liu Jin changed the court meetings that were originally somewhat formal. Except for the twice-monthly court meetings, there were no court meetings with large numbers of people at other times. Those close ministers of the emperor would deal with the emperor in Chengming Hall every day.  Military affairs.

    All matters were settled on the same day, without any shirk or delay. Under the personal auspices of the emperor, a small court similar to the joint meeting of later generations dealt with various affairs of the empire every day.

    "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu Youxian King has completely surrendered to Queen Wuya, and we have just received a petition from Wu Shilu. He requested to surrender to the Han as the Xiongnu Chanyu." In the Chengming Palace, Prime Minister Sima Qian will  He opened the memorial and said with an extremely solemn expression.

    "It stands to reason that the late emperor accepted the title of vassalage from the Queen of the Huns, and also gave the queen the golden seal and scepter. Wu Shilu is a fake chanyu, and the big man should not accept his title of vassal." Zhang Anshi, the imperial censor, frowned and said.

    Legally speaking, the Han Dynasty currently only recognizes one leader of the Huns, and that is Queen Wuya.  Wushilu was a rebellious minister of the Xiongnu. Theoretically speaking, the Han Dynasty could not accept a rebellious minister of a subordinate country becoming a vassal again.

    "It is indeed inappropriate to accept Wushilu as a minister. This would be tantamount to turning against the Queen of the Huns, and and King Anyang However, if the Huns are unified, it will indeed be detrimental to the Han Dynasty." Liu Jin  After thinking for a moment, he said that he knew that Huo Guang intended to help Wu Ya unify the Huns, but considering Liu Jin's position, civil war among the Huns was more beneficial to the Han than unification.

    "I do have an idea." Tingwei Bingji looked up at Emperor Liu Jin and said.

    "It's okay, Wei Ting," Liu Jin looked at the little old man Bingji and nodded.

    "I think that since I can't accept Wushilu's surrender openly, it's better to accept it secretly. Now my big Han occupies a large area north of Yanmen in Yunzhong, but the area north of the Great Wall is of no use to me. It's better to accept Wushilu's surrender secretly.  Move them all from the original Xiongnu left land to the north of the Great Wall, and let them serve as the first border defense of the Han Dynasty. In this way, the Queen of the Huns can nominally unify the Xiongnu land, but she cannot attack the area north of the Great Wall.  The left side of the Xiongnu in Wu Shilu still exists, so the Xiongnu are still in the midst of division and civil strife. And in this way, the left side of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan have become the barrier to the north of the Han Dynasty." Bingji squinted his eyes and said, but he thought of it  A way to fight the Huns with the Huns.

    Now that the situation of Xiongnu Wuya has been established, it is only a matter of time before Wu Shilu is destroyed. If we do as Bingji said, we can preserve the vitality of the left side of the Xiongnu.  Without a unified Xiongnu, they would not pose a threat to the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, as long as the two Xiongnu groups existed, they would fall into endless civil strife. In addition, the Wuhuan people north of Youzhou had already surrendered to the Han Dynasty.  The territory formed a barrier composed of foreign races.

    "Using barbarians to station at the border This seems to be inconsistent with King Anyang's strategy of governing the country!" Su Wu, Dahonglu, had a look of worry on his face. He had to admit that Bingji's strategy was a classic in terms of strategy.  , but when he thought of the "Anyang King's Strategy for the Governance of the Country" in Tianlu Pavilion, which repeatedly mentioned that barbarians should not be moved inland, he always felt that there were some consequences to this matter.

    "Just letting them live north of the Great Wall, where they can do half-grazing and half-farming, and even allow the left Xiongnu to slowly accept Han culture. Isn't this another strategy of King Anyang? This is not considered the inward migration of the Hu people.  Lift it!" Bingji explained quickly.

    "Anyang King's Strategy for the Governance of the Country" is not only a must-read for the emperor and the prince, but also for many important ministers in the court. Bingji also knows that Huo Guang strictly prohibits the inward migration of the Huo people, but he thinks that this is just to ask the Hu people to station in the border, not really  of inward migration.

    There was silence in the Chengming Palace for a moment. Bingji¡¯s words were not unreasonable, and this was indeed in the best interest of the Han Dynasty. It was difficult to make a decision for a while.  Everyone looked at Liu Jin, now only the emperor could make this decision.

    "Then accept Wushilu's offer of surrender, move them to the north of the Great Wall, and station the Hu people on the border" After a long time, Liu Jin finally decided to implement the strategy of the Hu people stationing on the border. On the one hand, he  He was thinking about the big man, but on the other hand, he didn't want to see the Queen of the Huns grow, because Wuya actually represented Huo Guang's power
