I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 222 The old man allows His Majesty to participate in political affairs (seeking subscription)

Huo Xian's pillow wind once again played a huge role.

In the early morning of the next day, Huo Guang went into the palace to meet the emperor when his mood improved.

This time, he decided to follow Huo Xian's advice, and decided to try to give the emperor a little bit of power in the court.

In this way, not only can the emperor trust himself more, but also trap the emperor in some trivial matters.

Creating a false atmosphere for the emperor to be a wise emperor is more conducive to confusing the emperor and then manipulating the emperor.

When Huo Guang was confidently proclaiming the palace, he saw several exquisite lacquer boxes on the table in front of the emperor.

"Father Zhong came at just the right time. I have recently invented a kind of food, and I want Father Zhong to try it first."

"Well, did His Majesty come up with it again?" Huo Guang didn't criticize the emperor as before, but changed a more gentle tone.

Huo Xian is right, it is better to let the emperor have something to do than to let the emperor idle.

Things happen when you are idle, and changes happen when you are idle.

Soon, Liu He couldn't wait to open those lacquer boxes, which were divided into different small ones, and contained the mooncakes made by the cook he directed the kitchen.

In order to save process and materials, the stuffing is mung bean and red bean with honey.

Although the taste is relatively monotonous, but in Dahan, where the flour has not yet been popularized, the crispy skin is paired with sugar-added cakes, and the taste is already unique.

"Father Zhong, hurry up and have a taste."

Huo Guang picked up a piece dubiously, took a small bite, and chewed carefully.

"Father Zhong, how does it taste?"

"Well, the entrance is dense and delicate, with a special oily aroma, and the filling in the belly is sweet and melts in the mouth, making people aftertaste..."

Huo Guang is not only an auxiliary minister, but also a leader of the rich and powerful families in Chang'an.

Regardless of the annual salary and land rent provided by the imperial court to him, or the property gifts from cronies, the Huo family can enjoy the most affluent material life in the Han Empire just from the emperor's annual rewards.

As the patriarch of the Huo family, Huo Guang is naturally very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Such a well-informed person, of course, can eat moon cakes differently.

There are a few differences between moon cakes and pancakes of today's Dahan. One is that the flour is fully fermented, which can make the taste softer;

Of course, Liu He made this thing not only to satisfy his desire for tongue and tongue, but also to change the way of life of the Han people.

For example, when making pancakes, they must be fermented. For example, more digestible flour is used instead of indigestible millet. If there is demand, someone will find a way to plant and improve it.

The king of Chu had a very thin waist, and many of the palaces starved to death.

Although it is an irony, it also proves that the improvement of many lifestyles was driven by the upper-level rulers.

"Father Zhong, do you think this thing looks like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Liu He said.

"Well, what Your Majesty said is indeed somewhat imaginative."

"In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon waxes and wanes, and the cakes also wax and wane. I think it's best to eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"At that time, I will order the servants in the palace to make more mooncakes, and give some to the courtiers and palace people, so that we can enjoy the joy with the people. These boxes are all for Father Zhong, and I hope Father Zhong will bring them back."

After Liu He finished speaking, he pointed to the bottom box and said, "This last box is printed with different patterns. I specially gave it to Cheng Jun's sister, and Father Lao Zhong took it all the way back, and passed it on to my thoughts."

Now when it comes to this kind of flattering words, Liu He has no pressure at all, every sentence is very calm, and the whole person has entered a state of mutual affection.

And this really worked, Huo Guang looked at the sincerity on the emperor's face, and immediately put the unhappiness yesterday behind him.

The Son of Heaven is like his own nephew, and he naturally wants to surpass his father's generation, which is understandable.

And I know that one day the government will be returned to the emperor, but it's too early now.

When the Son of Heaven and Huo Chengjun gave birth to a son, and was established as the Crown Prince, the country would be stable at that time, and he would naturally allow the Son of Heaven to rule in person.

Today, at this moment, Huo Guang intends to first assign a small part of the power in the government to the emperor, so as not to worry about the emperor.

Huo Guang put down the mooncake with two bites, and said, "Your Majesty, let's put aside the matter of Mid-Autumn Festival for now. I have an important matter to discuss with Your Majesty."

"Father Zhong, during this period of time, I have participated in the matter of getting a temple name and taking part in the first imperial examination. I feel very tired, and I don't want to participate in the court anymore in the past few days."

What Liu He said was not false. He has been acting too much recently. Although he has secured the throne, he is still worried that Huo Guang will become suspicious.

Therefore, he decided to restrain himself a little, stay away from court, and do other things in the next few months.

At least until the Han army sets out, he will not have any more suggestions.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Although Your Majesty has acted a little hastily in the past few months, the two things mentioned just now have been handled very well. Presumably, after the personal administration, His Majesty will be a wise emperor like Emperor Xiaowu."

For some reason, Liu He smelled a strange breath.

Today's Huo Guang doesn't seem to be as domineering or strict as usual.

Such Huo Guang made Liu He a little uncomfortable.

"Then what is Father Zhong going to discuss with me today?"

Huo Guang coughed twice, and said very seriously: "Although Your Majesty is not old enough to be in charge, since you have the ability and ideas to manage political affairs, I shouldn't stand in the way..."

"After thinking about it, the old man feels that His Majesty should be given the opportunity to participate in the affairs of the court, and the right should be to share some responsibilities for the old man."

Liu He's heart beat wildly. Could it be that the general has changed his temper and wants to hand over the government to him in advance?
If this is the case, then the Huo family can be safely landed, and it will avoid the infamy of killing a hero.

But before Liu He had time to refuse, the little flame that had just grown was extinguished by Huo Guang's next few words.

"Your Majesty can speak freely in the hall on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can choose some specific things to govern."

"In this way, although the overall situation of the court is still in the hands of the old man, His Majesty can also participate in it and accumulate some experience."

Liu He immediately saw through Huo Guang's intentions.

This old fox seemed to have nothing to do with himself for the time being, so he wanted to distract himself with some trivial matters.

It's a good idea, but Huo Guang miscalculated a bit.
