I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 130 The Prime Minister's Deal with Zhong's Father (First Order)

When the officials of Changyi walked behind the high wall of Weiyang Palace, Prime Minister Yang Chang also drove towards the General's Mansion in a carriage under the cover of the night that had not yet faded.

Yang Chang in the car didn't sleep all night, feeling a little tired.

Although he drank the decoction before setting off, there was still an abnormal red light on his face.

The wheels of Anche ran over the uneven roadway, making a "clang bang bang bang" noise, which was not pleasant to the ear.

Coupled with the coughing sound of the old man in the car "dangdangdangdang", everything seemed noisy and lifeless.

The prime minister is the head of all the officials in name, so he should be driven by the prime minister when traveling, it must be very grand.

But today, Yang Chang kept his car light and easy, with some intentions to avoid people's eyes.

Since it is to avoid people's eyes and ears, the things to be discussed must not be on the table.

After finally suppressing another severe cough, Yang Chang, who was panting unevenly, slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

It was not easy for the Yang family to make a fortune, and it was really a one-shot fight.

Yang Xi, the ancestor of the Yang family, was a powerful general in the early Han Dynasty. He once served as the captain of Lang Zhongqi under the command of Emperor Gao. Sealed as Marquis of Chiquan...

Yang Chang understands that he is old and may not have much energy to spare, so he needs to get more bargaining chips for Yang's family.

Today, perhaps, is such an opportunity.

……

Not long after, this unremarkable car parked in the backyard of the General's Mansion.

As soon as the car was stable, Yang Chang was helped out of the car by a servant.

He looked up and saw that the crescent moon in the sky had already hung on the eaves, as if it had been pulled down by the eaves.

At this time, there are already subordinate officials and handymen in the General's Mansion, and it is estimated that it will be busy soon.

Looking at this scene, Yang Chang couldn't help being a little jealous. The size of the Prime Minister's Mansion was comparable to that of the Grand General's Mansion, but it was much colder.

After Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing, the Prime Minister's Mansion became less and less important in Chang'an City.

"Mr. Yang came early?" When Yang Chang was stunned, Huo Guang walked into the courtyard and said from a distance.

"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, General, to welcome you." Yang Chang shook off the servant who was supporting him, and walked over quickly, his face full of flattery.

"Mr. Yang can lift the jade toe himself, and the humble house is already full of splendor." Huo Guang said beautifully, but he put one hand behind his back and stroked his beautiful beard with the other, showing his calmness, "I have already prepared tea in the flower hall. , ask Duke Yang to move."

"Then the old man is bothering you." Yang Chang walked quickly these few steps, and almost coughed again, but he suppressed it desperately.

……

In the flower hall, Huo Guang and Yang Chang sat across the table, and a pot of tea had already been brewed.

Huo Guang poured tea for Yang Chang, and Yang Chang was so flattered that he quickly picked it up and tasted it, not forgetting to flatter him.

The former sat upright, while the latter moved forward.

The status is clear at a glance.

However, Huo Guang is 54 years old this year, and Yang Chang is 60 years old; Huo Guang is the great Sima, and Yang Chang is the prime minister.

Regardless of age or official position, Yang Chang deserves more respect.

However, the status of a person is not determined by these false names, but by the power in his hands.

Huo Guang has power, but the prime minister has no power.

There is now a gap.

What's more, Yang Chang used to be the military commander in Huo Guang's mansion, because he was more cautious than Huo Guang, so he was promoted to prime minister step by step.

The promotion all the way is inseparable from Huo Guang's "support".

In this way, Yang Chang's welcome and flattery will not appear abrupt.

……

After drinking a few cups of tea, the sky outside the window became brighter again, Huo Guang finally felt that he had gotten to the point.

"Mr. Yang, I invite you here today because there is something I need you to discuss. This matter is not only an official matter of the imperial court, but also a private matter of my Huo family. It is not appropriate to discuss it in the Shangshu Office, so I invite you to the mansion."

Huo Guang's handwriting was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and he didn't say what it was, but he asked Yang Chang to come here at the beginning of the day.

Although the words were vague, Yang Chang had vaguely guessed the reason why Huo Guang invited him here.

"It's okay for the general to speak up, you and I can speak up about everything." In Yang Chang's words, he brought his relationship with the general into a little bit.

"The county magistrate has already ascended the throne. In my opinion, although the county magistrate's words and deeds are a bit shameless, and he has no political experience, but he has the legacy of Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowu, and he also has the leadership of Yang Gong and all the officials. From the side, he will definitely become a generation of Mingjun. "

"The general is serious. The old man is dying and can no longer do anything. The general is the pillar of the man." Yang Chang said again and again.

"In short, you are the head of all officials, and I am the second father of the county magistrate, so you should assist the county magistrate well."

"The general is right, the old man must be a blunt."

Huo Guang was very satisfied that Yang Chang could adjust his position.

"The county magistrate has already sat down in Weiyang Palace, so it is time to arrange the affairs of the harem. I have invited Duke Yang here today, just to ask him to lead all the officials to propose to the county magistrate at the small court meeting in a few days. It’s about choosing a concubine to seal the queen.”

Yang Chang was overjoyed, he guessed it right.

"Has the general talked about this with the county magistrate?"

"Naturally, we have already talked about it, and the county magistrate doesn't have much objection."

The selection of concubines is an important matter for the Han Empire. It is not only related to the county magistrate, but also related to the court and the world.

Huo Guang himself brought up the matter with the county magistrate in the proclamation room, but he only raised his head in private. After several discussions, the candidate was determined; in the end, it was the county magistrate's wedding.

Yang Chang was the head of all the officials, so he was naturally the most suitable candidate to stand up in the court and propose to the county magistrate the matter of choosing a concubine and conferring a queen.

"Since the general and the county magistrate have already talked, this matter is just a formality in the court. On that day, the old man will stand up and report to the county magistrate."

Huo Guang nodded, even more satisfied.

Yang Chang understood that Huo Guang still had something to say, so he simply continued to ask: "Does the general have any thoughts about the candidate for the empress?"

After a few breaths of silence, Huo Guang's condescending eyes seemed to have softened a little, and he said: "What you just said was a business matter, and the next thing I have to discuss with Mr. Yang is a private matter."

Yang Chang quickly sat up, pretending to be listening attentively.

"The little girl Chengjun has reached the age of Ji and is not yet married. Zhuo Jing loves her very much, and it is inevitable that she will be a little arrogant, but now..." Huo Guang said in a eloquent way, and what he said later was all praise. .

Yang Chang must have heard of the little girl Huo Guang, he didn't need Huo Guang to go on, he already understood the meaning, but he nodded frequently as he listened, as if he really cared about it.

After Huo Guang finished speaking, Yang Chang stroked his few sparse beards and said, "Ling Ai has a gentle temperament and a beautiful appearance, and she was taught by the general. I think..."

Yang Chang deliberately paused, and then continued: "This old man thinks that he is the perfect candidate for the empress."

Huo Guang rarely showed a smile and said: "Mr. Yang is absurd. In this way, I should not say anything in the court about the canonization of the queen. Everything depends on Mr. Yang's help."

After finishing speaking, Huo Guang immediately raised his hand to salute, and Yang Chang also quickly returned the salute.

"Where is the general, you and I are all for the big man."

Huo Guang poured another cup of tea for Yang Chang, his goal had been achieved, so he had to give Yang Chang some sweetness.

"If I remember correctly, Duke Yang has two sons, the eldest son Zhong and the second son Yun?"

"The general has a good memory."

Huo Guang thought for a while, and said: "In the future, the eldest son will inherit Yang'an as the Marquis of Ping, but the Yang family has worked hard and made great achievements, so the second son should also have a fief..."

Yang Chang immediately heard Huo Guang's deep meaning, and was overjoyed immediately, and quickly said: "Yang Chang thank you, General."

……

Before dawn, the carriage in which Yang Chang was riding quietly left the General's Mansion.

When the carriage disappeared at the end of the alleyway, a person who had been hiding in the darkness withdrew his gaze, slapped some horses under his crotch, and galloped towards the east of the city.
