I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 294 Huo Guang Wants to Force the Emperor to Admit His Mistakes (Subscribe)
"Don't forget, gentlemen, if the matter that was decided at the court today can be overturned, then what I will decide at the court tomorrow will also be overturned."

"Changing orders from day to day, in the end, no one benefits, and it will only make chaos worse."

"The county magistrate is quite a wise king. If you want to speak out widely and accept letters from people all over the world, let him do it. As officials of the big man, how can we disobey the king's order?"

Huo Guang spoke lukewarmly, but he couldn't hear much unwillingness in it.

Compared with Ren Gong, Huo Guang thinks on a higher level, he can grab food, but he can't smash the pot.

"But what Cai Yi mentioned is clearly aimed at weakening the power of the Shangshu Office, and it is aimed at you, General..."

Ren Gong didn't say it to the end. When he was in the main hall just now, he could suppress other courtiers, but in front of Huo Guang, he was nothing, and he couldn't speak rashly if he had some unpleasant words.

"The old man knows." Huo Guang only said a few extremely brief words in response to Ren Gong.

Together with Ren Gong, these courtiers who were well-known in the court were all silent, and no one dared to intervene. They knew that the general had already made up his mind.

"The county magistrate is a wise king. Although he is a little confused now, he will eventually see who is the pillar of the Great Han Dynasty."

"A month ago, the old man occasionally caught a cold, and he has not recovered. Today, before the big court meeting, there was a lot of cold wind and he felt unwell."

"The old man is getting old, and now old and new diseases are coming together. He lacks mental strength, and it is difficult to handle the affairs of the palace and the government at the same time. Tomorrow, the old man will write to the county magistrate, claiming to be sick and asking for leave. He only cares about military affairs and does not care about the government."

Ren Gong and the others were a little surprised. At first they thought the general was speaking in anger, but seeing the other party's calm expression, this misunderstanding was dispelled.

After a few people thought quickly, they soon understood Huo Guang's intentions.

Just call it sick and let it go, just take care of military affairs and ignore government affairs. This is how the general deals with the emperor.

For more than ten years, the Han government has been centered on the general. If the court leaves him, it will not only stagnate, but also become chaotic.

As long as the government is in chaos, the county magistrate will understand who is the pillar and pillar of the court!
"The general is sick, and if he can manage military affairs, he is already loyal. Calling sick and asking for leave is the right thing to do, so what should we do?" Ren Gong asked cautiously.

Today, in addition to the major event of the 15 Han army conquering the Huns, there are two other things that are the most important things for the big Han.

One is the collection of rent and taxes.Taxes are being collected one after another, and the part of the rents and taxes from various parts of the Kanto to be handed over to the imperial court is being continuously transported to Chang'an through water and land transportation.

This matter is handled by the Dasinong and the Shaofu. The money, food, cloth and silk brought in have their own destinations, and how to register them... It's all a trivial matter to the limit.

The other thing is to review and report the counties and states' plan-the contents of the counties and states' plan at the end of last year must be verified and reported before October this year, and this will be used as the evaluation of the governor of the county and state.

Prime Minister Ren Gong took the lead in this matter. The prime ministers and chief officials from various counties and states have arrived in Chang'an one after another. There is a secretary who wants to compare the contents of the plan with the contents of the audit report one by one to see if the counties and states have completed the proposals in the plan. various affairs.

If the difference between the two is small, it means that you will get a good evaluation if you do things with sincerity;

In order to get a good evaluation, some governors of counties and countries will tamper with the content of the audit report. It is by no means an easy task to see the problems in it.

If the matter of receiving rent and tax is not handled well, then the money and food will not be able to enter the warehouse, and it will rot on the road. In the coming year, the court may "be unable to make ends meet".

If the matter of the nuclear report is not handled well, it will not only make the hearts of the guardians of the county and country fluctuate, but also affect the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the coming year.

These two things are important things that cannot be delayed.

Delay for a while may not have much impact, but in the future, you can always see the harm.

It is just that these two major events are controlled by the Huo Party: this is both responsibility and power.

Ren Gong was very careful when he asked this sentence, naturally he had ulterior motives.

"The gentlemen and the old man work together day and night. Which one of them doesn't have some hidden diseases? Naturally, they will be treated if they are sick. The county magistrate is kind-hearted, so he probably won't blame us."

This time, Huo Guang had made his words very clear.

Confront the emperor by claiming sickness and asking for leave, and play games with the emperor by obstructing the government.

Once you take this step, you show your attitude.

This will make Huo Guang's domineering more realistic.

Because the emperor can sing against the courtiers, but the courtiers cannot sing against the emperor.

So, this is a risky thing.

But with Huo Guang behind him, Ren Gong and the others dared to do this - who made the general be the one who was taller than the emperor in the Han court?
Huo Guang saw that although the members of Ren Gong were hesitant, they did not completely refuse, so he continued to express his thoughts one by one.

In addition to the military affairs related to the Northern Expedition of the Huns by the 15-strong army, the matter of verifying reports and collecting rent and taxes must be stopped.

Not only Huo Guang wanted to sue for illness, but several people present also wanted to sue for illness.

And this is not enough, all the officials, large and small, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dasinong and Taichang Temple have to claim sick leave.

In this way, in less than three to five days, Chang'an City, which looks like Anle Xianghe Store, will look different now.

The carriages transporting money and food from Guo Yuanyuan in the east city will block the entire official road in the east; the officials waiting at the gate of the prime minister's mansion will be restless.

At that time, we will have to see how the emperor responds.

However, Huo Guang still has a sense of proportion, except for these three government offices, the rest of the government offices are still in business as usual.

Zhi Jinwu also needs to maintain the law and order of Chang'an City; Sanfu Chief should not relax and let thieves make trouble; Tingwei should also take care of many prisons to prevent prisoners from getting away.

After all, Huo Guang did not allow Chang'an City to really fall into chaos - just let the emperor admit his mistakes.

After Huo Guang explained, Ren Gong and the others had no objection on the surface, but they kept muttering in their hearts.

Although what the general said was well-founded, it seemed to be too weak. A few years ago, the general had already made a decision, at least to arrest Zhang Anshi and others.

Huo Guang saw the doubts of these party members, and after explaining everything, he went on to say: "Do you feel that the old man is a little weak?"

Ren Gong and the others hurriedly lowered their heads to express that they did not dare, but they did not speak out to express their denial.

If you stop and stop, you will be subject to chaos. This is a truth that many people understand.

Since the general can ask this question now, he must have considered the follow-up matters

"Masters, don't forget that Zhang Anshi and Wang Ji are also among them. They command a lot of soldiers, and there are six to seven thousand people."

Five to six thousand people is not only a lot, it is simply too much.

Even if Huo Guang mobilized the rest of the soldiers in Chang'an, he still couldn't take Weiyang Palace.

Therefore, before the 10,000+ Han army from the Northern Expedition to the Huns returned to Chang'an, Huo Guang could not and did not dare to confront Zhang Anshi and others head-on, and could only use other methods to wrestle with the emperor.

At this moment, Huo Guang and Tianzi are like two bulls whose eyes are red, their horns are against each other, and they want to win but it is difficult to make any progress.

At this time, using brute force is no longer feasible, Huo Guang can only choose other ways to defeat the opponent.

Kicking with hooves, flicking with tails—fortunately, Huo Guang is in control of the most important government offices in the court.

It is useless to use these government offices to head-on, but it can force the emperor to submit.

Do you want the transported Zufu emperor?Do you care about the scheming officials, the Son of Heaven?
At that time, the people will complain, if the emperor doesn't care about it, will the people's hearts still care about it?
As long as Huo Guang had five thousand more elite soldiers in his hands, he would not choose this method that would damage the Han court.

But the key point is that he didn't have it. The more than 2000 horsemen of the center base lieutenant, plus the eight or nine thousand pavilions of Zhijinwu and Sansuke, would definitely not be able to win the Weiyang Palace.

I'm afraid Zhang Anshi and the others also saw that Fan Mingyou and others were leading the army outside, so they dared to take advantage of this gap and dared to do this unruly thing.

Several people in Ren Gong glanced at each other, what the general knew, they knew that they had to point out to the general what they discussed just now.

Otherwise, this best opportunity will be missed.

"General, I have a plan. I wonder if the general dares to listen?" Ren Gong stood up and said.

"If Mr. Ren has any plans, it's okay to speak up." Huo Guang nodded.

Ren Gong hesitated for a moment, but finally he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke out what was in his heart.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
