Chapter 253 The Simple Art of the Emperor
Huo Shan scanned them around, raised his eyebrows and said:
"What are you afraid of, there's no need to hide it, it's a disaster to hide this kind of thing!

After this battle, I will send today's event and the battle report to my uncle, and I have to tease him in the letter.

The prince he cultivated didn't even have the guts to rebel, so how could he be my emperor in the future?
I took my uncle to the battlefield, what a correct thing, hum, a letter every three days..."

Liu Ju's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his horsewhip as if to whip Huo Shan. Huo Shan sat on the horse and quickly turned to the side, laughing:
"Haha, stop talking, stop talking!"

Watching Liu Ju put away his whip with staring eyes, Huo Shan asked again:
"How about talking about the clerks under me, and the three cousins?
After the Battle of the Western Regions, they all rose to power, and I can't use them for anything, so they are under my control.

I want to plan a good future for them, what does my cousin think of them?
It's time for you to cultivate your own team. If you like you, you will take them away. If I want to use it, I will ask you for it! "

Huo Shan changed the subject, instead of mentioning Huo Guang, he talked about other people.

Huo Guang doesn't need to worry too much about this. He is the next generation cultivated by Liu Che, and Liu Che arranges for him. It's not good for him to intervene, as long as he takes care of his subordinates.

Seeing that Liu Ju didn't speak, Huo Shan turned his head after thinking about it and said:
"Twenty steps back!"

"promise!"

Huo Shan became interested and was going to have a good chat with him on this matter!
After everyone had gone away, Huo Shan looked at Liu Shi, and he was going to clarify everything.

It's not his character to play sloppy and talk nonsense, and he and Liu Ju have long been grasshoppers on the same rope.

As for the close relationship between the general of his country and the prince, in other dynasties and under the hands of other emperors, there would be very serious disasters, but Liu Che and his situation did not have this risk.

The emperor Liu Che, the crown prince Liu Ju, and the Wei and Huo families are all grasshoppers on the same rope, a veritable family!

Therefore, no matter how close they are to Liu Zheng, they will not have any major risks. On the contrary, Liu Che actually hopes to see this happen.

Especially Huo Shan, who is young and has a small seniority, is a great advantage in this respect.

Wei Qing and Liu Ju got closer, maybe Liu Che would think about something else, but Huo Shan, Liu Che wished he and Liu Ju could wear a pair of pants.

After thinking for a while, Huo Shan looked at Liu Ju and asked:
"Tell me about my uncle first?"

After hearing this, Liu Ju hesitated and nodded silently.

"My uncle Huo Guang, was brought into the palace by my father in the second year of Yuanshou?"

Liu Ju nodded:
"Exactly, it's been 17 years!"

Huo Shan nodded silently, then continued:
"Entered the officialdom with the shadow of a family, started as a Langguan, and now is the Captain of Fengche and Doctor Guanglu!

My uncle is already a top figure in the court, and he is also one of the few people my uncle trusts very much. Who is all this because of? "

Liu Ju showed a faint smile:

"Of course it's because your father and you, Your Majesty love Wujiu!"

"Correct answer, my uncle is in the situation he is today because of my father.

But my uncle is also a man of great talent, but, you can't get too close to him. "

Liu Ju nodded silently. He also knew the specific reason. Huo Guang was his father's man.

"But you can't have close contact, but you still have to contact!"

This made me a little puzzled, and looked at Huo Shan curiously:

"Why?"

Huo Shan smiled faintly:
"Because it's okay for my uncle to become a noble, but above the court, there is no way to get promoted!"

After speaking in this way, Liu Ju suddenly realized and understood it thoroughly.

Huo Guangsheng has no chance to be promoted, it doesn't mean that he is really at the end and has no chance to be promoted. You must know that there are Jiuqing and Sangong on top of his Captain Fengche.

Although now it seems that Captain Fengche is a close minister of the emperor, with a humble and powerful position, but if he really walks the road of court, it is impossible to be this Captain Fengche forever, and he must step into the ranks of the three lords and nine ministers of.

Huo Shan's words actually meant that Huo Guang could not be promoted under Liu Che's hands, and even if he could be promoted, he would not be promoted.

The meaning of this is very obvious, this is the auxiliary person left for the next emperor!
And although Huo Guang is the assistant of the next emperor, he is Liu Che's man after all, so he, the prince, wants to get in touch, but not in close contact, so as not to make Liu Che think wrong.

As for how Huo Shan knew this, Liu Ju had his own opinion.

How close Huo Shan and Liu Che are, even if Liu Che didn't tell Huo Shan himself, but with their relationship, Liu Ju only needs to listen, and Huo Shan must know more than him.

There is also a reason why Huo Shan was so sure that Huo Guang would serve as the assistant minister.

This is the step in history, but this is not the main reason. The historical line has changed long ago, and the situation has long been different.

And Huo Shan is so sure, because you look at the court, only Huo Guang has this ability, has this qualification!

Not to mention skills, but as for qualifications, he has been with Liu Che for 17 years, and it is inevitable that this number will become more than [-] years later.

He does not have this qualification, who has this qualification?

When he leaves the palace and steps into the court, it is inevitable to climb to the top in one step!
And there is the Weihuo Group. The Weihuo at the time of the handover of the two dynasties in history is incomparable with this life, and the next emperor will be very different!

And there is his nephew, no matter how the butterfly wings are flapped, no matter how deviated Huo Guang's history line is, Huo Shan can easily correct it.

.........

Liu Ju nodded silently, keeping this matter in his heart.

Don't underestimate this kind of thing, it is very, very important to him as a prince.

Huo Shan thought for a while and continued:
"The same person as my uncle, there are two more!"

Liu Ju looked at Huo Shan expectantly.

"Jin Ridun, Sang Hongyang!"

Watching Liu Ju lower his head to think, Huo Shan continued:

"Jin Rixun is basically a member of the military selected and trained by my uncle, but now that I am here, he is not so important.

And he is a member of my Huo family, so you don't need to worry too much, just treat him normally.

As for Sang Hongyang, this person is very important. He controls the money and food bags of the empire, and there is no one who can replace him. No matter what generation he is, he is an indispensable figure in the Han Dynasty.

So make sure you have a good relationship with this person. "

Huo Shan looked at Liu Ju's hesitant expression, and said involuntarily:
"Don't listen to the smears of those Guliang rotten scholars, Sang Hongyang's importance to the great man is indescribable.

He is in charge of money and food, what does a big man want to do, how can he not need money and food?
You just need to account for the money and food, don't worry about it, he will definitely take care of everything, this is his role.

As for the whole big man, only he has this ability, so can't he be called a great talent?
Sang Hongyang is a minister of pillars, there must be no prejudice against him! "

Liu Ju nodded repeatedly when he heard it. He always felt that the identities of the two had been reversed, as if Huo Shan was his cousin and he himself became a nephew?
Liu Ju shook his head and threw away this idea, and continued to ask expectantly:

"Who else?"

Huo Shan tilted his head and thought for a while, then spread his hands:
"Gone."

"Gone?"

Liu Ju was a little dumbfounded. There are so many people in the hall, and you just point out three people, and they are gone?
How much do you look down on them!
Huo Shan just glanced at him and understood what he meant, he curled his lips:

"Have you misunderstood both of us?
You are the crown prince and I am Huo Shan. I can't be an extremely important official or a very important person. Is it worthy of your careful treatment?
And do you have any misunderstandings about Wei Huo, most of the court is Wei Huo's people, they are all your people, okay!
That is to say, these three people are too important. I am afraid that you will do something wrong, so I will tell you about them. Otherwise, I will not tell you about these three people! "

Liu Ju is a little helpless, I am the prince, you are so blatant, don't be afraid that I will suppress you in the future!
"Besides, they're all old too. The future belongs to us young people. There's no need to care too much about them. Just treat them as you normally would!"

Liu Ju nodded, and immediately asked:
"Anything else?"

Huo Shan rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said:

"Next is the power of all parties, but in terms of power, you don't need to worry. If Wei Huo doesn't have an accident for a day, your prince will be safe, and the others will not even dare to show the slightest sign.

There is Wei Huo on the military side, don't worry, there is also Wei Huo in the court, as well as uncle Gongsun, old people from the Shi family to help, there will be no problem.

Finally, there are the folks, or the academics. "

Liu Ju is a little puzzled, is there any difference in this academic?Isn't it all Confucianism now?If you don't understand, just ask.

"Of course there are differences. There are many factions among Confucianism, and Confucianism is the only one. This is actually not good for you, and other academics are not without disadvantages."

Liu Ju became more and more confused as he listened, scratching his head and asking:
"Why is this?"

Huo Shan cast a glance at him, and said lightly:
"Look at the important court officials under my uncle's hand, how many of them are of Confucian background?
When one day, the whole court is full of Confucianists, if you order them to unite and disobey the emperor's order, you will know how harmful it is! "

After hearing this, Liu Ju thought about the possibility, feeling a little scared, and said with a stiff face:
"That's unlikely, is it?"

Huo Shan didn't answer his question, instead he said to himself:
"As an emperor, you can't have only one kind of person in your heart.

Loyal ministers, treacherous ministers, good people, villains, there is not much difference for you.

If a villain is used well, he can do good things, but if a loyal minister is not used well, there will be great disasters.

Of course, this is not for you to use treacherous ministers and villains. If you can use this kind of person, you can use it as long as you can. It will cause great harm in all aspects.

You have to take a long-term view and have the common people of the world in mind. You can't just focus on the court, that is the disaster. "

Liu Ju was a little shocked. Huo Shan's words had a great impact on him. No one had ever told him this!
Of course no one said these things to him, most people didn't understand, and those who understood wouldn't say it.

These things are the knowledge that everyone in the future will know, but now, it is a proper way for the emperor to employ people.

"So, the court cannot be dominated by one family. You have to leave room for it. Do you know what room it is?"

Liu Ju shook his head in a daze.

"You can easily sweep them out of the court at any time, and there is room for someone to replace them at any time.

Make them feel threatened, so even if you hate another school, you can't directly suppress it to death.

On the contrary, when they can't hold on, you have to give them a hand, let them leave seeds, and have the strength to threaten others. This is the art of checks and balances.

Of course, although these are the necessary skills for a promising emperor, if you want to become a famous emperor in history, you must not fall into this conspiracy.

You must hold the world in your chest, and the court is just a tool for you to benefit the world.

So, in the final analysis, you need to be hard on your own to make an iron, and you will go to the folks more in the future. In a peaceful and prosperous age, the hearts of the people are everything.

When you yourself are the biggest trend in the world, then these methods are useless, you just need to press it upright. "

Liu Ju's face was flushed and his breath was short of breath. Huo Shan's words were no less than rebirth to him.

Huo Shan didn't speak next, waiting for him to digest.

After waiting for a while, Huo Shan watched him regain his composure and continued to ask:
"Among the schools of Confucianism, who is the most powerful?"

"Naturally a ram!"

"Then do you know why the ram is the most powerful?"

Liu Ju thought for a while, and tentatively asked:

"Dong Zhongshu?"

Huo Shan shook his head, then said:

"Although he revitalized Confucianism, and he was a man of Gongyang, so he brought up Gongyang, but this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that my uncle likes it, I like it, Wei Huo likes it, and people all over the world like it, because Gongyang agrees with this era.

The hatred of nine generations can be avenged. I am a great man who builds the country with martial arts. If my uncle likes him, he can be powerful. If my uncle doesn't like him, then he is nothing. "

Liu Ju nodded thoughtfully.

"In the army, you don't have to worry too much about Chaotang. After you go back this time, you should get in touch with Gongyang more. This is very important for your reputation in the academic world."

In fact, there is also a legalist and a craftsman, Huo Shan is going to talk about it together, but thinking that he has said so much today, let him digest it in the future.

Liu Ju nodded in agreement and took it to heart.

If it was him before, Huo Shan would definitely agree to it, but he would never take it to heart.

But what Huo Shan said today really shocked him.

"And after returning from the Battle of the Western Regions, you have to prepare to train your own team. My uncle has prepared everything for you. You just need to find talents.

And Zhang Anshi, Han Zeng, Tian Qianqiu, all of them are great talents, and all of them have the talents of prime ministers. You can bring them back to your Bowang Garden when you go back. "

Liu Ju was moved, but also curious:

"Since they are all great talents, why don't you keep them?"

Huo Shan shook his head:
"Why do I keep them? I'm useless, only useful to you. All of them are great talents. I'll give you a good talk these days.

When you become the emperor in the future, they will be your ministers, and you will have people you can trust.

Be sure to pay attention to them, they are also very powerful behind them. "

Liu Ju was a little moved by Huo's words:
"Then...then can they be willing?"

Huo Shan couldn't help laughing, just kidding, this is the minister of the hidden mansion!

He glanced at Liu Ju, and the corner of his mouth curled up:

"Why don't you ask?"
