Long live the general

Qiu Junmao knew so much about the news about Chang'an City, but Qiu Hongguang didn't know about it. However, when Zhang Dasinong put forward this point of view at the court, he must have been prepared beforehand.Qiu Junmao drank his tea and said, son, you don’t understand. Business is not only about the market, but you must always pay attention to the dynamics above. Any decree can easily destroy an industry, and it can also create an industry.

He sighed, feeling that it was a good thing Qiu Hongguang didn't stay at home to inherit the family business. With his sensitivity, he might just sit back and eat his life.It is right to join the army and fight. This is the path Qiu Hongguang himself chose, and he has indeed come to the apex.

Qiu Hongguang murmured: "Is this so? Ah, so you haven't received my letter to you, so I wrote it for nothing."

"What did the letter say?" Qiu Junmao asked.

"As for the tax increase on salt and iron, I asked you whether you will come to Chang'an City. Now His Majesty needs talents who can make money. You can take this opportunity to switch to business and politics."

Qiu Junmao snorted and put down his teacup: "Can you think of this?"

"Of course not." Qiu Hongguang said, "General Huo asked me to write it."

"...Son." Qiu Junmao leaned back, sighed deeply, and looked at Qiu Hongguang meaningfully: "Did you notice something?"

"Don't beat around the bush."

"From the time we met to now, we have spoken less than ten sentences. You mentioned General Huo three times." Qiu Junmao said.

Qiu Hongguang was taken aback for a moment, and then said lightly: "Is that so, General Huo often takes care of me, this? If it wasn't for him for a few years, I wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

He pretended to be calm like this, but he wanted to cover it up. Qiu Junmao said with a smile: "If that's the case, shouldn't I pay a visit and thank you?"

Qiu Hongguang: "That's not necessary, he doesn't like this either."

In his tone, he is more familiar with General Huo than Qiu Junmao imagined. Qiu Junmao still knows this son very well, you know? .When? Grand Sima? He didn't lead troops to fight, and more of them dealt with complicated and boring official duties. How could Qiu Hongguang, the chief Sima, get along? Now, it's likely that General Huo is making decisions. Push him out to do things.

Although Qiu Junmao didn't know why General Huo acted like this? He helped Qiu Hongguang, but it could be seen that the relationship between the two was very good, especially Qiu Hongguang, who trusted General Huo very much.

Qiu Junmao thought for a moment, then said casually: "Son, have you heard the latest rumors?"

"What rumor?"

"Some rumors about General Huo...and His Majesty."

The common people have always been very interested in the anecdotes in the imperial palace. Such a spice is needed in the boring life to enrich the spiritual world, and this also involves another person, Ding Ding The famous General Huo.Many people may not know who His Majesty is today, but most of them know about General Huo and the Northern Expedition. After all, the imperial court will publicize it before and after the war. Everyone has heard the story of Huo Yi's undefeated situation.

Such a story, although it sounds cool, is meaningless.It is not as good as? The twists and turns of a late bloomer, great ups and downs, or underappreciated talents are exciting, and it does not resonate with many scholars, but with some ambiguity and emotion? Drama, the common people love to listen to it.

After all, what about war? Not everyone understands it and can say a few words, but everyone is qualified to participate in the discussion about emotional matters.

It is rumored that General Huo and His Majesty the Emperor would accompany him in the carriage when they went out, and they would accompany him when they entered, lying and sitting together. His Majesty ever met him with his hair untied? His speech and behavior were frivolous...

When His Majesty the Emperor is discussing matters with ministers, no matter where he is, he must keep his crown and clothes on, and maintain his majesty to show his attitude of importance.He treats General Huo like this, at best it sounds like intimacy, and the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, at worst it sounds like contempt, just like treating a male favorite.General Huo was also a courtier who flattered His Majesty. He subdued and flattered His Majesty. He never raised soldiers to please His Majesty. This? Obviously, he has no character.

In the beginning, this was just a heated discussion about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Later, some people said that General Huo had no talent, and he only took the position of chief minister because of his majesty's favor. As for the favor, where did it come from? Yes, that? It's obvious.

The initial rumors continued until now, and only then did the real purpose emerge.

The spread of such rumors to the imperial court obviously played its role. For a while, people around Huo Yi left again, and some people suggested that General Huo Yi refute this matter to prove his innocence. Huo Yi Noncommittal.

He has nothing to say.

In this matter, he already knew he was wrong.

In the Qilin Hall, Huo Yi was sitting on one side, and Zhou Zhen said: "I met Qiu Junmao yesterday, and he came up with a brilliant idea about salt and iron. Huo Qing, guess what he said."

Zhou Zhenyan looked at Huo Yi with great interest. He was wearing a robe, his long hair fell down, and he had a casual and confident smile on his face.Huo Yi withdrew his gaze and said, "Qiu Junmao is Qiu Hongguang's father. He started his business as a salt and iron man. Has he come to surrender to His Majesty?"

At this time, the letter should not have been delivered, so Qiu Junmao heard the news by himself and made a decision to come to Chang'an. This judgment, sensitivity and action surprised Huo Yi. Although he hasn't met him in person yet, he has already recognized Qiu Junmao's ability.

"Yes, he is a smart man." Zhou Zhenyan said with a smile: "The suggestion he gave was not to increase taxes, but to directly take back the right to operate salt and iron from the imperial court. Sure enough, no one knows better than these businessmen like them? How to make money!"

Is it necessary to completely withdraw the right to salt and iron... This? Is this a unique and big move? It will even affect the development of Dai Viet for a century.

Huo Yi pondered for a while. He didn't know much about the economy, but he knew that this matter would inevitably cause turmoil in the court, which was comparable to the decision to make the Northern Expedition for the first time.But if His Majesty the Emperor is determined to do this? He will certainly be able to do it successfully. He has a firm will and a clear goal, and nothing can stand in his way.

Now that he has this idea, the next step is to implement it. Zhou Zhenyi also talked about some ideas about Qiu Junmao. Qiu Junmao opened up many new ideas for him.Zhou Zhenchen smiled and said to Huo Yi: "I decided to let Qiu Junmao be the prime minister of farming first, and assist Zhang Dasinong in doing things. By the way, have you seen him? He doesn't look like Qiu Hongguang at first glance. Take a closer look." It looks a bit like it, but when you look closely, it doesn't look like it hahahaha."

He was completely sharing with Huo Yi some things that had nothing to do with the government. Huo Yi replied seriously: "With Qiujun Maozhuyu in front, there must be more people who will seek refuge with His Majesty."

His reaction was too indifferent, Zhou Zhen sighed, and leaned over to pull his sleeve, Huo Yi shook his hand, stood up to avoid his touch.

"... Huo Qing?" Zhou Zhenyan raised his head blankly.

Huo Yi walked to the side, knelt down at a place far away from him, folded his hands on his forehead, and saluted: "Your Majesty, please tie your hair and crown."

Zhou Zhenzhen didn't speak, and Huo Yi also maintained his polite movements? He didn't get up.

"Brother Huo, have you heard those rumors?" Zhou Zhenyan said lightly, "Why should you care about the relationship between you and me? Do you want them to investigate and question it?"

Huo Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, I will care, people are not grass and trees, who can remain indifferent..."

Zhou Zhenzhen stared at him a little anxiously. He especially hated Huo Yi facing himself with such an attitude. They should be more intimate. Even in the court, there are secret gazes and smiles...Zhou Zhen Suppressing his anxiety and anger, he barely calmed down and said: "I will deal with these problems, Huo Qing, you know? They are all talking nonsense, don't be affected by these things."

He reached out to help Huo Yi, who knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "But what they said is not groundless."

Zhou Zhenyan's hands were frozen in place. He was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, his face became more and more serious, but his tone was still relaxed: "Huo Qing, get up first and then talk..."

"I have something I would like to ask your Majesty." Huo Yi said word by word: "Now that the war has ceased, there are many talents around Your Majesty, the mountains and rivers are peaceful, and the minister is unable to participate in the discussion. I would like to return to the general's seal, beg for bones, and avoid the sages." road."

Zhou Zhenyan's pupils shrank suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Huo Yi's neckline, pulled him up, approached him and asked, "You want to leave?!"

"Yes……"

"Just because of a few rumors?!" His Majesty's mouth was full of bitterness. He felt that he had been abandoned for no reason. He had a sincere heart and completely trusted Huo no matter what happened. Yi, the war is over, what he expected was that Huo Yi could be a big Sima in peace, no need to fight, no more injuries, and he could enjoy the salary and respect in peace, this is what he wanted to give Huo Yi .

He is willing to do many things for Huo Yi, but not including letting him go.

No, he never thought that Huo Yi would say such a thing!

"Your Majesty, you and I know that it's not a rumor." Huo Yi didn't look at him, and his tone was very calm: "You and I are monarchs and ministers, so we shouldn't...violate human relations."

Zhou Zhenyan's mind was buzzing. He struggled to understand Huo Yi's words, that is to say, the other party always felt that their behavior was wrong, and he began to doubt his previous thoughts. Huo Yi really treated him On purpose, or is everything just wishful thinking on his part? Willing?

Huo Yi: "Your Majesty, stop the loss in time..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Zhenyan took his neckband and pushed Huo Yi fiercely onto the desk. The snow-white memorial, the emerald jade seal, and the golden pen holder were all pushed away, and the brush washer and inkstone fell to the ground. There was a loud bang.

Chang Zhong Zhang was waiting outside. He was startled when he heard this voice. He hurried into the hall and said in his mouth, "Your Majesty, what happened? What..."

"Get out!" His majesty's furious voice responded to him.

Zhang Zhong's Chang Shi lowered his head and left the hall like an electric shock. The last thing he saw was General Huo who was pressed on the desk.
