Lu Shu did not answer Huo Guang immediately, but after a brief thought. Huo Guang was quite satisfied with this, which shows that Lu Shu was a person who thought twice before doing things and would not simply make empty promises to please him. Often, once such a person agrees, he will accomplish unexpectedly. For this reason, Huo Guang also looks forward to whether Lu Shu can bring some unexpected surprises to him.

"You go and gather the people first. You can choose the address of the workshop. Just tell me at that time. If you have anything in the future, you can contact Zhen Youcai directly. If there is nothing, I will arrange for someone to take you back." Since Huo Guang chose Lu Shu, he would not intervene too much and let Lu Shu let go. However, if Huo Guang did not arrange for someone to help, Lu Shu could not move them away alone.

"Then I will take my leave first." Lu Shu bowed and said nothing. He knew in his heart that no matter how much he said at this time, he would not say anything. Only by making real achievements can he repay Huo Guang's kindness of knowing.

"Come, go and invite the chief clerk to come." After Lu Shu left, Huo Guang said to the yamen runners outside the house.

A moment later, Du Yannian came to Huo Guang and asked, "What's the matter with me, sir?"

"Has there anything happened in the yamen recently?" Huo Guang asked casually. After all, he was the Chang'an Order, so he should still be concerned about the situation of the county yamen.

"Sir, everything is normal." Du Yannian replied.

This Chang'an Order is said to be the most difficult county magistrate in the entire Han Dynasty, but the Chang'an County Yamen is the most leisurely county magistrate in the Han Dynasty. The basic function of the county magistrate is to collect taxes and arrest and arrest thefts. These two things are the best in Chang'an County. The tax collection is generally smooth, and Chang'an thieves are also the least in the country. In addition, a strong county magistrate like Huo Guang, Du Yannian felt that his life was a bit too leisurely.

"By the way, do you know about Marquis Wu Qiang?" Huo Guangxian just asked casually, and the main purpose of his visit to Du Yannian was actually this sentence.

Du Yannian was stunned at first. He had no idea why Huo Guang suddenly asked Zhuang Qingzhai. Du Yannian recalled it and said, "Why did you suddenly remember Wu Qianghou? He was the old minister of the late emperor. When Bai Zhihou Xuchang was the prime minister, Wu Qianghou was already the censor. However, his Majesty now asked Wu'an Marquis Tian Fu to be the prime minister. Since then, Wu Qianghou's status has been deteriorating day by day, and now he is not very responsible in the court."

"Oh? It turns out that Marquis Wu Qiang once served as a censor!" This was the first time Huo Guang knew that Zhuang Qingzhai had been a censor twenty years ago, but that was the beginning of Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne. It seems that Zhuang Qingzhai is really getting backwards as he becomes.

"Maybe I don't know. In fact, when Bai Zhihou Xuchang was appointed as prime minister, Wu Qianghou Zhuang Qingzhai was appointed as the censor, all of which were the meaning of Empress Dowager Dou. Maybe I have heard of what happened later, right?" Du Yannian said in a low voice, with many obscure meanings in his words.

"Oh, so that's it!" When Du Yannian mentioned this, Huo Guang suddenly realized, but he could only be clear about some words in his heart and could not say them directly.

The Empress Dowager Dou mentioned by Du Yannian is to be precisely the Empress Dowager after Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, which is the famous Dou Yifang in later film and television works. In the early years of Emperor Wu of Han, the entire Han Dynasty was actually controlled by Empress Dowager Dou. Because Empress Dowager Dou was the empress of Emperor Wen of Han, his philosophy of governing the country was to believe in the art of Huang-Lao. The reason why Xuchang and Zhuang Qingzhai were valued by Empress Dowager Dou was precisely because they both believed in the art of Huang-Lao.

Once you understand this, it is not difficult to understand why Zhuang Qingzhai was dismissed after Empress Dowager Dou's death. On the one hand, this is a contest between Emperor Wu of Han and Empress Dowager Dou's forces, and on the other hand, it is also a different political concept. Speaking of which, Zhuang Qingzhai is still able to have an official position now, it is already a rare thing.

Huang-Lao's art is a political ideological school formed by Taoist thought as the core, combined with the Legalists and some ideas of Confucianism and Mohism. This idea directly ruled the core of the inaction and the policy of resting and resting with the people for nearly a hundred years in the early Han Dynasty. Its policy of resting and resting and resting has enabled the economy to recover and develop rapidly. This is one of the important factors that laid the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, this idea also has its limitations and disadvantages, that is, under the overly free and laissez-faire political system, a situation of powerful princes was formed, and some wealthy businessmen even monopolized the salt and iron of the country's economic lifeline. These problems became problems that Emperor Jing of Han and Emperor Wu of Han had to face.

Through a few simple words with Du Yannian, although Huo Guang had never met Zhuang Qingzhai himself, he also had a relatively deep understanding of this person. In Huo Guang's eyes, Zhuang Qingzhai has been defined as an old man who believes in Taoist thought.

"Marquis Wu Qiang is the prince's teacher, no wonder His Highness is generous and kind." Huo Guang suddenly smiled and said in a low voice. At this time, he understood a little bit why there was such a big gap in the thoughts of Prince Liu Ju and Emperor Wu of Han. It turned out that the root of the problem lies in this prince's teacher.

"Haha, it's really a sharp look at the problem!" Du Yannian had to admire Huo Guang's vicious vision of looking at the problem when he heard this.

"Brother Yannian made fun of me. We can just say it casually. I dare not say these words!" Huo Guang said with a smile. In principle, there was no big problem with Du Yannian's words, and there was no disrespect to the emperor and the prince. However, private discussions on the emperor and the prince are not a matter of being on the rise.

"By the way, sir, the official suddenly remembered something. I seemed to hear that Marquis Wu Qiang would go to Cuihua Mountain at the end of every month to sit with some old ministers and famous scholars." Du Yannian suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard. He didn't know why Huo Guang was suddenly interested in Zhuang Qingzhai, but he still told what he knew.

"Cuihua Mountain... I know." Huo Guang just replied casually. The idiom of sitting and talking about Tao was derogatory in later generations, but it was not derogatory in this period. "The Book of Zhou" says: "Sitting and talking about Tao is called kings and princes. Sitting and talking about behavior is called doctors." This actually means the division of labor between policy and implementation. The person who sits and talking about Tao is the maker of the policy, usually only refers to people with extremely high status.

Huo Guang recorded the place of Cuihua Mountain and stopped talking about Zhuang Qingzhai. Then he chatted casually with Du Yannian about the situation in Chang'an. There was nothing big about Chang'an during this period. If you want to say the most eye-catching thing is the fact that Liu Hong and three other princes were named kings.

Two days ago, Emperor Wu of Han finally issued an official order, granting the second son Liu Hong the King of Qi, the third son Liu Dan the King of Yan, and the fourth son Liu Xu the King of Guangling. Since then, all of the current sons of Emperor Wu of Han have been crowned kings, and the position of Crown Prince Liu Ju is as stable as Mount Tai.

Moreover, not only the three kings' vassal states were set, but even the date of the country was set on the third day of April next year. Why Huo Guang was not clear about this day? But this must make sense, because the prince's country did not leave at will, and there was also a complex and grand ceremony when he left.

The three kings had nothing to do with Huo Guang at all, but with the establishment of the three kings' fiefdom, there was a rumor suddenly, that is, Emperor Wu of Han intended to order Huo Guang to be the prime minister of Qi and assist Liu Hong.

"Sir, is this true?" When talking about this topic, even Du Yannian couldn't help but ask curiously.

"How is it possible? Brother Yannian, don't you believe such a rumor, right?" Huo Guang was quite speechless now. He didn't know when the rumor began, but it was certainly related to Emperor Wu of Han, because only Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Guang were present when he said this.

"Haha, I don't believe it very much, but looking at the adults, I sometimes feel that this is not impossible." Du Yannian said with a smile. This rumor is indeed a bit unlikely, but the protagonist of the rumor is Huo Guang. After contacting Huo Guang's two years of experience, it makes people feel that it is not completely impossible.

Huo Guang himself firmly believed that this was impossible. Because he would not say whether he was suitable to be the prime minister of Qi, but based on the relationship between Liu Hong and Huo, if Huo Guang was to be the prime minister of Qi, he would go to die unless Emperor Wu of Han really wanted Huo Guang to die, but Emperor Wu of Han would not have to worry about him. Besides, letting people of Huo Guang be the prime minister of a country feel a bit of a joke, and Emperor Wu of Han could not make such a joke.

"Forget it, the rumors stop at the wise man, just spread whatever they want, there is nothing to do anyway." Huo Guang was too lazy to explain. Anyway, the matter of the Three Kings' Kingdom will be over, and it will have no substantial impact on him.

However, Huo Guang probably never expected that in an era without media such as the Western Han Dynasty, rumors could still be spread quickly. Just when he was talking about this issue with Du Yannian, King Liu Hong of Qi in the Jiaofang Hall was kneeling in front of Mrs. Wang's bed, and the mother and son were talking about this topic.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what happened. Since Huo Guang visited the Jiaofang Palace last time, Mrs. Wang suddenly got sick on the third day, and the disease has come very badly. In just one day, she couldn't afford to sit down. After a few days, there has been no sign of improvement. Even the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless.

"Is my mother better? My father has issued an edict. On the third day of April next year, I will join the country on the same day as my two emperor brothers." Liu Hong is only eleven or twelve years old, but his origin in the imperial family has made him less young and more experienced as an adult.

"Hong'er, my mother's body is probably not going to work, I'm afraid I can't accompany my son to Qi State!" Mrs. Wang said with a haggard face and a choked voice. Because Liu Hong is already the official King of Qi, and Mrs. Wang is also respected as the Queen Mother of Qi, so she can also use the title of Queen.

"My mother is at ease to recuperate. When she arrives in Qi, the children will definitely be invited to be famous doctors in the world. The children will also serve the mother and queen." Liu Hong and Mrs. Wang had a deep affection. Seeing Mrs. Wang like this, Liu Hong felt very uncomfortable and tears were shouting in his eyes.

"You are the king now. Don't cry like this in the future. You must be the king." Mrs. Wang felt very comforted, but she still taught Liu Hong.

"What the Queen Mother taught me is that I wonder if my father really asked Huo Guang to be the Prime Minister of Qi?" Liu Hong nodded and said yes. He also heard rumors about Huo Guang being the Prime Minister of Qi. He had to discuss this matter with Mrs. Wang.

"This is impossible..." Mrs. Wang mentioned her voice and subconsciously said. When she talked about Mrs. Huo Guang, she could not hide her hostility in her eyes.
