I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 92 A stone in the court, Huo Dang monopolizes seven fights

In the past two years, Liu He has done a lot of things and made a lot of preparations.

But most of the things have nothing to do with Chang'an.

Liu He had some thoughts about the court, but in the final analysis, he was not at ease.

He originally planned to go to Chang'an, and after reconciling with Lang Zhongling Gong Sui, he would make a long-term plan.

But at this moment, since Wang Shi beside him has this ability, he can ask him first.

An old family is like a treasure.

In the afternoon, Wang Shi was brought to Rizhi Hall by Yu Wuyou.

It can be seen that this old Confucian is also very excited at the moment.

When entering the hall, Wang Shi tripped over the half-foot-high threshold.

There was almost a "grab the ground with the head".

Liu He was so frightened that he hurried over to support Wang Shi.

"Hey, I'm afraid the old man will have to be called an old man in the future."

"Wang Fu is immortal, as strong as the sword on your waist."

Liu He made a slightly meng lang joke, but Wang Shi seemed to be very useful, so he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

How could he have imagined that this sword was not a decoration, and he had only seen blood a month ago.

After the two sat face to face, Yu Wuyou brought the tea and went outside the hall to guard.

Today is different from the past, what His Highness wants to talk to Wang Fu is very important.

Although the Rizhi Palace is secluded, one still needs to be cautious.

Before Wang Shi sat down, he specially entrusted Yu Wuyou.

Thirty days after the tea, the teacher and disciples, who were a little excited, calmed down and put down the teacups slowly.

"Wang Fu should know why the widow invited you here?"

"Hehe, that's natural. I didn't expect that the true destiny is actually in my Changyi country. One month ago, a Confucian scholar told the old man that it was rumored by the people in the country that they often saw dragons haunting the Great Yeze. The old man scolded me. He is rebellious, it seems that the old man is stupid and ignorant."

"It's all thanks to Gaozu's protection, and it's all thanks to the protection of the late king." Liu He said.

Wang Shi stroked his beard and nodded.

"An Qing came this morning."

"An Le is the Prime Minister of a country. Of course, he was the first to see the edict. At this moment, An Le must be the busiest person in the entire Changyi Kingdom."

Wang Shi's words were puns, and seemed to be disdainful, Liu He smiled knowingly.

"An Qing told the widow that within three to five days, the escorting group will arrive. He asked his disciples to show their kindness to them. How does Master Wang think about this matter?"

"Hmph, short-sightedness, it's ridiculous!"

Liu He was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Shi to speak so seriously.

When I think about it again, I don't feel awkward when I think of the demeanor of the king's style of making troubles in the palace that day.

"What advice does Master Wang have?"

"Since His Highness wants to go south, although he hasn't left the court for several years, he must have some understanding of the situation in the court."

If you say you understand, you understand, and if you say you don't understand, you don't understand.

Although Liu He didn't read a hundred books on the history of the Great Han, he also read dozens of them.

But after all, I only understand an outline.

Except for several historical books such as "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", many other books are secondary interpretations of later generations.

Who knows whether what the so-called experts say is reliable?
Take the four members of the Yingjia group as an example, Liu De and Bingji have left a strong mark in the history books, but there is almost no record in the history books about the origins of Le Cheng and Li Han.

"That's natural, but Changyi Kingdom is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and my disciples don't know the situation in that court."

"Since Gao Zu slayed the snake until now, although the strength of the great man is getting stronger day by day, the situation in the court is also changing rapidly."

"Let's talk about today's court, don't say that it is different from Gaozu's time, even it is very different from when Daxing Tianzi just came to the throne."

Knowing that Wang Shi started to get to the point, Liu He couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Today's court forces can be divided into three factions."

"One faction is naturally the Huo Party headed by the general. The general Huo Guang has assisted the government for more than ten years. Since he quelled the rebellion of Shangguan Jie, he has become the only assistant minister in the court. Up to the current prime minister Yang Chang, down to Daxing The Lang officials next to the emperor are either promoted by the general, or have served as subordinates to the general, so if there is a stone in the court, then Huo Dang monopolizes seven fights."

"One faction is the clan party headed by Zongzheng Liu De. The Great Han Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years. Although there are many restrictions on the kings, clans are clans after all. So many princes and clans are twisted together. Not a small amount of power, so this clan's pro-party can probably take the second place in the general situation of the court."

"The last faction is called the Baiguan Party. This faction has a lot of people, but it has not been favored by the general, so it is scattered in every corner of the court, and it can only occupy one part of the general trend of the court."

"The envoys of the welcome group must be headed by the Huo Party and the Clan Party. If according to what An Le said, who is His Highness going to make friends with?"

Liu He pondered for a moment and said, "Naturally, we want to make good friends with the clan party."

"Haha, if His Highness really does this, I'm afraid life in Chang'an will not be easy in the future."

"What does Wang Fu mean by this?"

"The clan party only takes two fights, and the Huo party takes seven fights. Your Highness uses two fights to fight seven fights. Isn't it hitting a stone with an egg?"

Wang Shi is right, this is a life-and-death struggle, two fights or three fights, they are vulnerable to seven fights.

"Are you going to make friends with Huo Dang?"

"Didn't His Highness lower himself to the status of a great general? Wouldn't he follow in the footsteps of the emperor Da Xing and become a clay puppet in the court?"

If you don't make friends with the Huo Party or the Clan Party, is it possible to make friends with the Baiguan Party that can't even be ranked in the car?

Liu He looked puzzled.

"A gentleman is indifferent but not contending, and a group is not a party."

"From "The Analects of Confucius Duke Ling of Wei", a gentleman is dignified and does not argue with others;

Wang Shi nodded and said, "Your Highness has learned well."

Liu He thought for a long time, and seemed to have some clues, but finally said: "Please enlighten Wang Fu again."

"Once your Highness takes the throne, you will be the ruler of the world. As long as you are dignified and don't take the initiative to argue with the general, and you are impartial in the court, then no matter what party it is, it will eventually become an imperial party. The emperor occupies the right position and walks the way. How dare you be disrespectful."

"No matter which party you belong to, they are all the courtiers of the great man, but Your Highness is the emperor. How can an emperor show favor to his courtiers, otherwise the reversal of yin and yang would be ridiculous. That's why the old man scolded that Anle mouse for being short-sighted. It's really ridiculous!"

"So, Your Highness is not trying to show favor to anyone, but to show favor. As long as you become the emperor well, then any party will eventually become an imperial party."

"It's not wise to have too close contacts with any party, or to lower your figure to show favor."

"Make fewer enemies, and make more friends." Liu He blurted out what the library colleague had said.

Wang Shi felt a little vulgar at first, but finally nodded with satisfaction.

"The disciple understands, it's not a show of favor, but a combination of grace and power, and then act on time."

"Your Highness is wise."

"It's all thanks to Master Wang's good teaching. This disciple wants to invite Master Wang to Chang'an to accompany Gong Qing to assist disciples."

For the master of the princes and kings, this is a great honor and the pinnacle of life and career.

But unexpectedly, Wang Shi smiled and waved his hand, rejecting it.
