Chapter 261: Zhou Gong


The silk paintings of the Han Dynasty are beautiful, especially those "non-clothes" that are to be put into the tomb, there are sun, moon and fairy mountains, dragons, tigers and ghosts below, and the middle part depicts the human life scene of the tomb owner, with smooth lines and bright colors.But the silk painting in front of Huo Guang is extremely simple, the background is directly ignored, and even the faces of the characters are blackened to make it blurred.In the center of the scroll stands a child, wearing a crown and a small figure, like a king.On the left and right are the ministers who wear the crown of virtuous heads, and one of them stands on the right side, bowing down and holding an umbrella cover over the head of the young master.The rest of the courtiers fell on their knees and were paying homage to the young king.This silk painting is Huo Guang's treasure at home, from the hand of the Yellow Gate painter, named Zhou Gong Fucheng Dynasty Princes Map, is given by Emperor Xiaowu.Huo Guang looked at this painting carefully under the candlelight, and he could still recall the excitement and feelings in his heart when he received this painting in Ganquan Palace thirteen years ago.He muttered to himself: "The old minister will never forget, let alone what the first emperor said to me in front of Jin Riyan and others when he was ill. ”"Before you tell you, you will draw evil intentions?

Establish a young son, and do the things of Zhou Gong!"

In the Han Dynasty, the emperor is the source of power, the sun, and the only light, just this simple sentence makes Huo Guang's body of more than seven feet cast a huge shadow in the government and the opposition.This painting and the edict are the only reason why Huo Guang became the first assistant of Gu Ming in one fell swoop.There are many people in the court who have higher merit than him and seniority who are older than him, and when they heard that this dwarf man was actually the great general of Sima, there were many dissatisfaction in the court.And Huo Guang's achievements in just a few years have made these people have nothing to say, or they will disappear with their mouths.Next, he seemed to have really gotten the script of Duke Zhou, Jin Xuan said, King Wu was mourned, and Uncle Guan and his brothers were rumored to the country, saying: "The prince will not be conducive to the son." ”Liu Dan, the king of Yan, is "Uncle Guan", and Princess Eyi is "Uncle Cai", plus Shangguan's father and son, Sang Hongyang, they came together and conspired to frame Huo Guang, just like a rebellion of the three prisons.And just as King Cheng did not doubt the Duke of Zhou, he also appointed Huo Guang today, and he quelled the rebellion without danger and killed people.Afterwards, Huo Guang was even knocked down by Che Qianqiu, the prime minister who often entered the court in a small carriage and was likened to "summoning the public", and since then he has been in power and monopolized.The world then praised and said: "The general holds the infant monarch in his infancy, and he teaches the government and teaching, and Kyushu Yan Ran, although the Duke of Zhou died to add it." ”But Huo Guang understood in his heart: "It's just praise and flattery, and the old man is still far from becoming the Duke of Zhou." ”Duke of Zhou is surnamed Ji and the brother of King Wu of Zhou, so he can be the regent of the Yan rank.And Huo Guang is just a courtier favored by the old emperor, an assistant rather than a regent, and sooner or later he will return to power.In the first month of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Liu Fuling turned 18 years old, and the Canadian Yuan served the high temple and officially announced his adulthood, while Huo Guang was crowned but did not return to politics on the grounds that the emperor was unwell.Coincidentally, in May of that year, Ding Chou, the main hall of the filial piety temple was caught by thunder and fire, which was a great event, provoking all the people in the court, although Huo Guang let Taichang and others be dismissed from their posts, and in June they were amnesty to the world.But the Confucian scholars of Qi Xue have jumped up and down, and a few people have said something: "There is no virtue of Zhou Gong, but he has been in power for ten years, and he has been in power for a long time than Zhou Gong, so the first month of the Canadian dollar is served, and the disaster will be seen in May." ”That's why he hated Qi Xue's Confucian students so much, praised Ren Hongle's original thunder, and even deliberately called the New Year's name "Yuan Ting".Some people hope that he will return his great political service, but Huo Guang didn't hear it, and the reason why he firmly held the power was that the emperor's health was really not good, and his heart disease was sometimes good and sometimes bad.Second, after he was betrayed once by his in-laws, Shangguan, he also understood the truth that the sword must be in his own hands.It's easy to put down power, but it's hard to get it back, and it's better to save it in your own hands than to put your life in the hands of others.As for the third, what Huo Guang wants to do has not been done yet, so ten years is not enough, and another five years is almost the same.He once asked the leader of Luxue, who was proficient in Shangshu, the matter of Wei Xian Zhou Gong of Dahonglu, and Wei Xian told him concisely: "One year to save the chaos, two years to conquer Yin, three years to practice dying, four years to build Hou Wei, five years to camp into Zhou, six years to make ritual music, and seven years to become the king." ”After hearing this, Huo Guang sighed: "I can do this in seven years, I am not as good as Zhou Gongyuan." ”But in his heart, Huo Guang compared his political achievements one by one."

The plan of King Pingyan, Lord Gai, Shangguan, and Hongyang is to save the chaos.""

Destroying the turtles and chasing the west is for the sake of practice.""

Set up the Western Regions Protectorate, connect the north and south roads, and this is to build a Hou Wei.""

I have been assisting the government for thirteen years now, the people have been enriched, the four Yi guests have been served, Chang'an has restored its prosperity, and the Han Dynasty has turned from the crisis of Xiaowu's later years to safety, which can be regarded as a camp and laid the foundation for future generations."

Forget about making ritual music, he doesn't understand Confucianism, and even hates Confucianism in his heart, he can't do it, continue the system laid by the first emperor, and make profits and losses.Leaving this aside, what is the difference between Huo Guang and Zhou Gong's career?"

Crusade, Keyin!"

Huo Guang accepted the silk painting, raised his head, and the map of the world made by Ren Hong hung in his study.For the Han Dynasty, who is Yin Shang?

Of course, it is not the so-called remnants of the former dynasty that Ren Hongbao came up, the "Great Qin" who is 20,000 miles away.But due north, the Huns who fought with the Han for one hundred and thirty years!

After the first emperor conquered Wan in the fourth year of Taichu, he issued an edict: "Emperor Gao left the worry of Pingcheng, and the Empress Gao was only rebellious in the book."

The revenge of the ninth prince of the former Qi Xianggong, the spring and autumn period!

”Destroying the Huns is a long-cherished wish of the Han Dynasty.Huo Guang still remembers that thirteen years ago, in Wuqi Palace, when the first emperor was dying, he asked Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji and others to retreat, but Huo Guang was left behind, and said his last words to him: "Huo Guang, you have followed me for more than 20 years, in and out of the forbidden country, be cautious, and have never tasted it." ”"Therefore, I should know that I rarely retreat, whether it is to the four Yi on the outside, or to the princes and people of the government and the opposition.""

In this life, I have only taken two steps back.""

One step is the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the patrol hunting Feng Zen to change the calendar and the color of the matter is not finished, the Empress Dowager Dou governs Huang Laoyan, is not good at Confucianism, interferes in the government affairs, Zhao Juan, Wang Zang committed suicide, all those who have done it are abolished, I endured it, and retreated.After more than 40 years, he blindly moved forward with a huge empire, entered a trajectory that no one had imagined before, and opened a new era.Then I looked back and found that the people in the car were exhausted, and the car was scarred and almost crumbled."

Another retreat is the Luntai edict.""

If I don't retreat, future generations will never have a chance to enter.""

Assist the prince well, drive this big car for me, stay where it is, and don't let it go back.""

Let my descendants no longer have to start from the foot of the mountain."

And then, Emperor Xiaowu said the most touching words to Huo Guang, and made him swear that no matter what happens in the future, he will always be a loyal minister of Liu Han.Life comes to an end, everything is like a dream, just like the poem written by Emperor Xiaowu: The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, and the grass and trees are yellow and the geese return to the south.The flute drums are singing and singing, and there is a lot of joy and sorrow.When is it young and strong, but old and old!

In this way, the emperor who has always been ruthless rarely revealed his true temperament when he was dying, and stroked Huo Guang's back and said: "The reason why I value Qing is not because you are Huo Quai's brother, but because you are Huo Guang." ”"I'm afraid that all this I created will be completely overturned, and I will be stigmatized and slandered.""

But you won't!"

Of course, Huo Guang would not overthrow the system and deeds created by Emperor Xiaowu in the name of benevolence and righteousness as those virtuous scholars wished, but only to carry on the past and the future?

The first emperor underestimated him."

If the Duke of Zhou is only satisfied with holding the cause of King Wu, and because of the opposition of the court and the central government, there is no second crusade, then Ji Zhou still has the rule of Chengkang, and there are still eight hundred years of Guozuo?"

The car has been repaired, and the soldiers of the rest generation are also in good spirits, big man, it's time to move forward again!"

The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home.The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home?

”Huo Guang saw not only Emperor Xiaowu, but also his brother Huo Quai, who was standing beside him and still guarding him after his death."

Your Majesty and your brother's unfulfilled long-cherished wish, this time, I want to fulfill it for you!"

Sending Fu Jiezi to run the Western Regions, pacifying Wuhuan and Xiqiang, and uniting Wusun was just to prepare for an "Eastern Crusade", without revealing it to any cronies, and planning to advance little by little, just waiting for an opportunity.This time, half of the troops in the Xiongnu country want to destroy Wusun, which is a godsend!

This means that the Han army no longer has to fight the enemy alone."

The Duke of Zhou was ordered by the king to set up an expedition to the east and make a great edict.Kill Wu Geng, collect the rest of the people, Ning Huaiyi Dongtu, and complete it in two years.The princes served Zong Zhou. ”"The Xiongnu are far from what they used to be, the country is obedient, and they have been defeated repeatedly.In two years, he joined forces with Wusun, about a light and large curtain, which was enough to break it, even if it could not be destroyed, it could also be broken and broken!"

After that, you can follow the example of the Duke of Zhou, return to the government and become the king, and take the throne in the north, and be afraid."

After two years of breaking the Huns, if Ren Hong heard about it here, he would be stunned, steady as Huo Guang, and there were times when he was crazy, because he knew that he was getting older and older, and the call for the DPRK and China to return to government was getting higher and higher, and he couldn't afford to wait, and he had to complete this matter when he was an auxiliary government.is not only for the public, for the kindness of the first emperor, and for the hero's words, Huo Guang is also a little selfish.He has heard a saying, there is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is immortal.Huo Guang boasted that he did not have the character of a saint, nor was he good at scriptures, so he had no way to speak, if he wanted to achieve immortality, then there was only one way to make meritorious contributions.The Xiongnu is the old enemy of the Han Dynasty, and whoever can destroy it is the first emperor of the ages, which is the historical mission that every emperor of the Han Dynasty was born to carry on his shoulders."

What if I, a minister, finishes it?"

Then he surpassed Zhou Bo and Yafu, who died sadly, and passed Xiao and Cao, who were mourning behind him, and he was the reincarnation of Zhou Gong!

It is a saint who comes out once in 500 years!

Even if he died, no one would dare to touch the Huo family again, just like the sons of heaven in previous dynasties, they would increase the number of courtesies to the Qufu Kong family.Emperor Xiaowu's encouragement is still in his ears, and now, Huo Guang understands that mentality, and he is afraid that he will be slandered and easily abandoned after more than ten years of hard work."

Your Majesty."

Huo Guang bowed to the picture of Zhou Gong becoming the king again and again, and wiped his eyes when he got up: "The minister, like you, is also afraid of what will happen after death!"
