The big man has a living father

Chapter 144 (Large Chapter) Tianzhu Foreign Affairs Journey to the West

After listening to the explanations of several people, Su Wu understood what was going on. He bowed and said, "Do you want to go in and try the tea, or have you already tried it?"

The representative of the group cupped his hands and said, "Oh, I've tried it. This tea is amazing. It's such a rare flavor!"

He still reminisced for a while before continuing with a smile: "Brother, you can go in and try."

Su Wu laughed loudly: "I am the one who runs this tea shop. I just came from Shu County and came to take a look."

Several people looked at each other, and the leader stood up: "I am Jia Shou, may I ask..."

Su Wu remembered: "Jia Shou? May I ask if Jia Yi is you..."

Jia Shou: "That's my second grandfather."

Su Wu suddenly realized: "I am Su Wu, the General of Southern Yunnan."

Jia Shou also remembered: "It turned out to be Brother Su!"

In fact, the two families had an old relationship before, but in this era, the two families haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, so it is normal not to know each other.

Su Wu: "Brother Jia, it's been a few months since I last visited Chang'an. Why don't we find a place to eat and chat?"

Jia Shou laughed loudly: "Brother Su, you are rich now, you are already a general, then we can pick up the expensive ones and eat them!"

Su Wu patted his chest and said, "Choose whatever you want."

Jia Shou: "Then let's go to the grassland farmhouse to eat roasted whole lamb."

Su Wu was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he bowed and said, "I'm afraid I can't eat the roasted whole lamb. Brother Jia, my father lost the war and was stripped of his title three years ago."

Jia Shou knew that Su Wu had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Brother Su, that's not what I meant. The grassland farmhouse is just a little expensive, but you can eat lamb anytime."

Su Wu was a little confused.

Jia Shou: "That boss Hunxie is a marquis, so of course he has the right to eat sheep. As long as we pay, he will reward us with sheep to eat. How can this be considered crossing the line?"

Su Wu was stunned for a moment: "This is how we do it? Won't it be investigated?"

Jia Shou approached Su Wu and whispered, "Hun Xie spent a lot of money to buy sheep from your majesty's ranch. Your majesty is hoping that he can sell more."

When Su Wu heard this, he laughed out loud: "So that's how it is. Let's go, let's go."

To be honest, Su Wu really should invite Jia Shou to dinner.

When Jia Yi became successful, he helped the Su family.

Later, Su Jian, Su Wu's father, helped Jia Shou's father after he became successful.

After this back and forth, the two sides became old friends.

But later on, the Su family rose rapidly. Su Jian followed Wei Qing to win battles and eventually became the right general.

This official position is quite high and is comparable to the Three Dukes.

But... Su Jian got into big trouble later. All the troops he led were killed in the battle, and he escaped alone.

In this case, the death penalty was imposed, but Su Jian had a title, so his title was stripped away and he was demoted to the governor of Dai County.

Su Wu himself had not mentioned the matter of his family's title for many years. If he had not wanted to talk to Zhang Qian about it last time, he would not have brought up his father's previous title.

This was because Zhang Qian had gone to Shu two years ago and had been away from Chang'an for a long time. If he had said that he was the son of the prefect of Dai County, Zhang Qian would not know him, so he introduced him that way.

But then again, after Su Jian was demoted, he had to consider the future of his sons.

So, his three sons took three different paths.

The eldest son, Su Jia, was once an official through family connections, and was even granted a title of nobility during the peak of Su Jian's career, with his fief in Shu County.

He followed Li Guang's path and had a good relationship with Li Guang.

Su Wu was entrusted to Wei Qing by Su Jian.

Out of nostalgia for the old times, Wei Qing kept Su Wu and promoted him to a minor official position.

As for Su Wu's younger brother Su Xian, he is still young, thirty years younger than his older brother Su Jia.

Followed Su Jian to Dai County.

Su Wu was still lamenting how great changes had taken place in this era, but he didn't know that his family was one of the biggest beneficiaries.

If history continues to move forward, Su Jian and Li Guang will be written into the same biography in the Records of the Grand Historian. The meaning is self-evident, especially Su Jia, who created the crime of disrespect.

All the stories about people being beheaded for being disrespectful in later generations came from him.

To put it bluntly, it was because Su Jia followed Li Guang, and when everything went wrong, Emperor Liu Che became unhappy with him and found a random excuse to have him killed.

But now, Su Wu did not wait step by step for the opportunity to go on a diplomatic mission, but took the initiative to find an opportunity to do business in the south and had already boarded Huo Hai's carriage.

Li Guang was not sent to fight the Huns at this time, and Zhang Qian did not follow Li Guang to Youbeiping.

When he arrived at the place, Su Wu saw the yurt for the first time.

For some reason, when Su Wu saw the Xiongnu yurt for the first time, he felt a sense of resistance from the bottom of his heart. He felt very uncomfortable and was unhappy with this small space.

But Su Wu didn't say anything.

The roasted whole lamb was served, and after a few drinks, Jia Shou finally spoke: "You are now a general, but what kind of place is this Southern Yunnan?"

Su Wu explained the concept of governing the southwest and southern Yunnan.

Jia Shou raised his eyebrows: "In that case, you are sitting in Mr. Huo's car, right?"

"This plan was proposed by Master Huo. It is certain that it will be of great use. Lord Zhang Qian is a man of great character. He is willing to be a vanguard and run the business in Chengdu personally. With Lord Zhang Qian's ability, this plan will surely succeed."

"Brother Su will be very rich by then, and it won't be impossible for him to regain his title!"

Su Wu smiled and said, "It depends on fate, but the past six months have indeed yielded fruitful results."

It is difficult not to have an abundant harvest. Qionglai has already started using natural gas to burn salt, and the output is huge.

These salts could not only be sold in Shu, but also be sent to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to win over the Qiang people living along the plateau. Of course, they were not given away for free, but at three times the price of Chengdu.

The money earned here is sent directly to the plateau to raise horses, and the first batch of people has already arrived.

In the south, salt was delivered to Yelang and other places along the road that Sima Xiangru had originally built when he went to southern Shu, and the sales volume was huge.

This money will be used to govern southern Yunnan.

In southern Yunnan, after obtaining refined salt, people gradually became less vigilant. Many tribes went from resisting the Han army to looking forward to more visits from the Han army.

Su Wu had sorted out the relationships in the past few months and arranged for many people to learn the languages ​​of various tribes in the south. He returned to Chengdu only after the situation stabilized.

In Chengdu, the situation is better than expected.

Because of the replenishment of the salt market and the spread of the method of making bacon in Chengdu, this meat processing method, which seemed to be born to be spread here, spread rapidly.

Salt consumption has skyrocketed.

What comes with it is a surge in profits.

Zhang Qian currently has a lot of money.

This is what's left after conquering the south and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at the same time!
So Zhang Qian came up with a bold idea.

Chang'an is doing coal and steel, why can't Chengdu do it?
The profits from salt and iron are now huge, and we have saved a lot of money, which can be used as start-up capital for coal and steel at any time.

Chengdu is one of the five capitals, second only to Chang'an in prosperity, and is about equal to Luoyang.

In the past, Chengdu was a little weaker than Luoyang because it was not as good in business.

However, with the arrival of salt and iron, Chengdu's business environment is improving. If coal and steel are promoted, Chengdu will inevitably develop like Chang'an today.

With the powerful Chengdu as a base, the possibilities of conquering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, southern Yunnan, and the more distant India will be greatly increased.

Originally, Zhang Qian wanted to go back to Chang'an in person to report to Liu Che.

But Chengdu’s development has reached a critical stage and I can’t leave.

When Su Wu returned to Chengdu to report, Zhang Qian immediately agreed with Su Wu to let Su Wu return to Chang'an to quickly report the very good situation to all parties and, by the way, apply to open a coal mine and steel plant west of Chengdu.

After hearing this, Jia Shou stood up and cupped his hands, "Brother Su, if Chengdu develops rapidly, there will be many opportunities!"

Su Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Jia wants to be transferred to Chengdu?"

Of course Jia Shou wanted to go.

If everything develops according to what Su Wu said, Chengdu will inevitably become the second Chang'an.

Everything follows Changan, and the model is the same in all aspects.

The key point is that this place has the purpose of conquering India!

Perhaps there won’t be much result in two years, and the people who run the business here won’t see much effect either, and can only see economic benefits.

But, three years later, it’s hard to say!
Jia Shou: "Brother Su, you don't know what Tianzhu means to the people of Chang'an!"

Su Wu tilted his head: "Hmm? What does it mean?"

"Brother Jia, do you know Tianzhu?"

A few months ago, Su Wu himself didn't know about India, but was persuaded by Zhang Qian and went to Chengdu.

By the way, Zhang Qian himself didn’t know about India a few months ago, he only knew about Sindhu.

How come Jia Shou also knows Tianzhu now?
Jia Shou waved to his companions.

The companion understood and took out a book: "This?"

Jia Shou took the book and placed it in front of Su Wu: "Brother Su, do you know that everyone in Chang'an knows Tianzhu?"

Su Wu took the book with confusion: "Journey to the West?"

As soon as he opened the first page, Su Wu knew why.

Journey to the West, author: Huo Hai.

This must be part of Mr. Huo’s plan!
Jia Shou: "In India, the ground is covered with gold and pearls. The seven treasures of gold, silver, glass, coral, clam, red pearl and agate are used to make Buddha statues."

"This is nothing."

Su Wu was puzzled: "Isn't this nothing?"

Jia Shou nodded seriously: "Of course, it is said that the climate in Tianzhu is hot and there is no cold winter, so it is particularly suitable for the growth of many spices. These spices are everywhere!"

"Stir-fried dishes are popular in Chang'an nowadays. Once you have tasted stir-fried dishes, you can never go back to the past."

Jia Shou cut a piece of roasted whole lamb and handed it to Su Wu: "Try it. This roasted whole lamb is marinated with carrots, onions, and cumin. These are just brought from the Western Regions. The price is very high at present, and Longxi does not have that much land to grow cumin and other spices."

"But in India, they are everywhere!"

Jia Shou: "Brother Su, you know that a sheep is only one thousand coins. Even if you buy a sheep from the Royal Ranch, it is only one thousand five hundred coins. But if you want to make a roasted whole sheep, the spices used are more expensive than the sheep itself. This sheep is four thousand coins, and two thousand five hundred coins are the cost of spices!"

"How much benefit will there be once we take over Tianzhu?"

"As long as we take over Tianzhu, everyone involved in this matter will be remembered in history and become a prominent figure in Chang'an! How can I not go if I have this opportunity!"

"Even if it takes ten or twenty years on the bitter cold plateau, it's worth it!"

Su Wu: "Is it all written in books?"

Jia Shou: "Some are written in books, and some are told orally by Master Huo when many people asked him out of curiosity."

"Master Huo also said that there is a tree in India that can be cut into lacquer like our lacquer tree, but it is not lacquer but glue, which is the same as our Eucommia, but it is softer and more suitable for use in cars."

"Do you know how many Chang'an nobles are ready to get this glue!?"

"Recently, at every court meeting, someone would shout to attack India."

Spices and rubber, the economic value of these two things together is really high.

When Huo Hai wrote "Journey to the West", he deliberately chose travel notes to write about.

During the Age of Exploration in the West, travel novels became an instant hit, and even transformed the art form of novels from a niche genre in the West into one of the top three art forms in the world.

Journey to the West is also a travelogue, but it focuses more on stories about gods, demons, and monsters.

The reason why it did not cause a sensation when the book was written in the Ming Dynasty was because everyone was already very familiar with India at that time.

It's far less than the crazy desire I had when I first learned about it.

Before the Age of Exploration, why did those ships frantically look for a way out? In fact, they were looking for China in the East.

Because according to legend, China is full of gold, the tiles and floor bricks are all gold.

But in the end they found Tianzhu, and Tianzhu alone was worth the price of admission.

And now, Huo Hai is going to lead his men to look westward... They have to find Tianzhu first.

Although it is difficult to evaluate the people on this land, this land is extremely rich!

Nowadays, in Chang'an, although people are not interested in Lingshan where the Buddha is, and they also know that the closer to the Buddha's kingdom, the more monsters there are, everyone wants to go to India.

Although many people in Chang'an are just ordinary people, they are certain that as long as they can reach India and come back, they will be richer than the tycoons in Chang'an now.

Su Wu opened the first page and started reading, asking, "Are many people reading this?"

"There are only a few people in Chang'an who can read. How could it cause such a big stir?"

"Besides, this book has so many words. How many people can copy the whole book? How many people can read the original text?"

Su Wu was puzzled as he read it. It seemed to be simplified Chinese characters. Although he was ordered to train translators to learn simplified Chinese characters, how many people in Chang'an knew simplified Chinese characters?

Jia Shou: "Copy? Print!"

“Brother Su, Lord Huo, carve the words on the engraving plate, and then print it on the book, just like stamping it!”

"These are all hand-printed. Tens of thousands of copies have been distributed throughout Chang'an, or even more! Only the people at Huo's Bookstore know the exact number of copies!"

print?

Su Wu: "Print? Carve it out... I see, it's actually like this! What's wrong with Master Huo's brain? How could he come up with such a good idea!"

"But doesn't everyone in Chang'an have a copy?" Jia Shou said, "What do you mean everyone has a copy? Even twenty scholars can't get one copy. Now, as many books as the bookstore sells out, they are snatched away!"

"By the way, you've been gone for so long, I don't know."

"In recent months, tens of thousands of old scholars have come to Chang'an from all over the country. On the one hand, they want to inquire about the selection of filial and honest officials, and on the other hand, they see that Chang'an is a good place to make money and also look for jobs in Chang'an."

Su Wu suddenly realized: "Is that so? But why is he called an old scholar?"

Jia Shou: "Of course there are new scholars! In recent months, simplified Chinese characters and Mandarin accents have become popular throughout the army. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are learning them, and tens of thousands of them are good at learning and can already write and read articles on their own."

"And schools are opening everywhere in Chang'an, and a large number of children and merchants are studying there."

"There are also craftsmen. People from the research institute and its subordinate institutions are learning simplified Chinese characters. As a result, all craftsmen from all walks of life in Chang'an have begun to learn it. Currently, there are at least 200,000 people learning simplified Chinese characters."

Su Wu was shocked: "What? How much?!"

How many educated people are there in the whole Han Dynasty? !

Even if it is Han Li, since its introduction, are there 200,000 people learning it in the whole of Han Dynasty?
Jia Shou: "The key is to learn quickly, but these are nothing."

"So many people can read and write, isn't that a big deal?" Su Wu wondered.

Jia Shou: "Now, there are storytellers everywhere, telling stories about Journey to the West. There's one in this farmhouse and in the hall over there."

When you come to the grassland farmhouse, it is of course more noble to eat in the yurt, but there is also an indoor place, which is the hall where many tables are placed together.

Su Wu: "Let's go and take a look."

Su Wu was not very interested in the yurt to begin with, but when he heard there was a hall, he suggested going to the hall.

When the waiter heard that someone had paid for the private room and still had to go to the lobby, he smiled and helped to make room: "Okay, sir, this way please!"

Arriving at the hall, Jia Shou was surprised: "Huh? I made it in time! Today we're actually going to start from the first chapter!"

After a few people sat down, Su Wu poured a glass of wine, grabbed a leg of lamb and tore it off, then his attention was attracted by the storyteller's gavel.

"It is said that in the midst of the chaos of heaven and earth, there was a world divided into four continents, namely: Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanshanbuzhou and Beijuluzhou.

In Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is a country called Aolai...

The spiritual stone was exposed to the wind and waves all day long, feeling the essence of the sun and moon, and it became spiritual over time. One day, a wave hit, and the stone suddenly cracked, revealing a stone egg inside. After another five hundred years, there was a loud noise, and the stone egg cracked open, and a stone monkey jumped out of it... "

Whenever the speaker talked about something exciting, the audience would applaud crazily.

As he ate, Su Wu became fascinated.

This is a feeling I have never had before.

In the past, everyone on the streets liked to listen to stories the most. Every time there was a story, everyone loved to listen.

But no one had ever written the story into a book specifically for entertainment.

In the past, paper and ink were so expensive! Bamboo slips were so heavy! How could anyone use these to pass the time?
How many people can recognize words? But now, the situation has changed.

And this story is more attractive than any story I have ever heard before!
Even the story of the Chu-Han contention is not as fascinating as this one!

Su Wu thought about it and realized that it was true. When Master Huo said in the court that he liked to listen to stories, he really was not fooling anyone. Now he is even writing stories himself!
Soon, Su Wu was completely conquered by this bizarre world.

When the storyteller stopped, Su Wu and his companions were stunned to find that their roasted whole lamb had become cold and they had not even eaten much of it.

Jia Shou also shook his head: "Although I have read the book several times, it is still a different experience to listen to people talking about the book. I was fascinated again for a while."

In fact, humans do not need novels or stories to fill their spiritual space.

But after novels came into being and you read them, there will always be a space in your mind for these fantastic stories. If you can't see them, you'll feel addicted.

All the people in Chang'an have been opened up to this space and entered the era of chasing books.

Jia Shou: "I wonder when the stories after the 50th chapter will come out!"

Su Wu: "Hmm? What do you mean? Haven't you finished writing the fifty chapters yet?"

Jia Shou: "No."

Su Wu thought about it and decided that he must bring back the stories after the fifty chapters when he returned, even if the other party begged for a copy!
At this time, a Yulin Guard entered the hall and came to Su Wu: "General of Southern Yunnan?"

Su Wu nodded.

Yulin Guard: "Didn't you report that you wanted to see His Majesty? Why are you here again? I'm looking for you!"

Su Wu: "Oops!"

At first I thought there was enough time and it would be no problem to invite Jia Shou to dinner.

Who would have thought that the storytelling would take nearly two hours!
Your Majesty has been left out in the cold. Now something big is going to happen!

My goodness, isn't this novel too attractive?

Su Wu didn't even have time to say goodbye to Jia Shou, he just got up and left.

Jia Shou's friend came back to his senses and said, "Huh? Did Lord Su leave without paying the bill?"

Jia Shou: "It doesn't matter if I treat you to this meal."

……

In fact, Liu Che knew that Su Wu had entered the city before Su Wu did.

If it were any other time, Liu Che would not have needed Su Wu to request an audience and would have directly summoned Su Wu into the palace.

But today is different.

Today, the Embroidered Uniform Envoy Wang He, ostensibly the Attendant Censor Wang He, reported the outcome of the case of Zhang Ou, Marquis of Xuanping, in front of Liu Che and several ministers!

Wang He has been waiting for a long time today.

In fact, after Wang He took over the case and was reminded by Huo Hai, he found out the truth in less than three days.

However, he was waiting for an opportunity to announce the case.

An opportunity to publicize the poisoning case of Marquis Xuanping without triggering public opinion.

In other words, the investigation report on the poisoning case of Marquis Xuanping will be announced only when another major event occurs.

However, this other important thing must not be related to business!
Once a business event breaks out and the poisoning case of Zhang Ou, Marquis of Xuanping, is announced, it would be tantamount to the failure of the game.

Because the Imperial Censor Zhang Ou would definitely take the opportunity to stir up confrontation between the nobles and the merchants.

No one told Wang He to do this, but Wang He had to wait.

Even though other court officials thought that Wang He had been handling this case for so long and was useless and criticized him, Wang He did not give in.

I've been waiting, waiting until now, and finally it's here.

Previously, whether it was the diversion of the Wei River, the new city plan, or other major events that occurred in Chang'an City, they were all related to business and could easily be exploited.

But this time, the sudden popularity of "Journey to the West" finally has little to do with business.

Wang He knew that today was the opportunity.

After today's announcement, people who like to gossip said: "Hey, you know, the noble who poisoned shit and dogs has been sentenced!"

Before they could finish their conversation, someone would say, "You have to be Erlang Shen's Sky-Howling Divine Dog to not be afraid of poison."

After a while, the topic will change to: "I heard that the god Yang Erlang of Guanjiangkou should have the surname Li. In fact, he is Erlang of Li Bing and his son who controlled floods in Guanxian County in the previous dynasty. Both the name and the location are correct."

"Why is the last name Yang? It's an allusion. When Master Huo was writing, he found some real people and put them into the book, just like in the 26th chapter, Dongfang Shuo appeared. He was the disciple of Emperor Donghua."

"Hmm? Why did Lord Dongfang Shuo appear? Why didn't the General of Cavalry and the General appear? Mr. Sima, who had a good relationship with Master Huo, didn't appear either."

"You haven't read the book, right? Haha, the fairy boy character Dongfang Shuo has dirty hands and likes to steal peaches. Mr. Huo wrote his name as Dongfang Shuo on purpose to tease Dongfang Shuo. Haha, Dongfang Shuo likes to make fun of others, so he was finally punished."

"Now, won't it mean that a hundred years from now, everyone will know that Dongfang Shuo has dirty hands? Hahahaha."

"One hundred years? Let me give you a number. One thousand years."

In the book, Huo Hai deliberately did not mention the changes of dynasties. With some guidance, many people think that this Tang Dynasty is the ancient Tang Dynasty, or it is simply a fictional one that does not exist.

So I feel that the real people and places that appear in the book were all written by Huo Hai casually, and he was too lazy to make up the names, so he borrowed them.

Such a popular book, everyone is talking about it, and being nominated will of course be brought up for discussion after dinner.

Who would still talk about the poisoning case at this time?
Wang He took this opportunity to report that the case of Marquis Xuanping should be closed.

Liu Che immediately summoned many ministers to witness it.

Liu Che also knew that this was a good time to announce the case. Since Wang He had the brains to know to announce it at this time, there must be no problem with the content found out.

If there was any problem with the findings or the verdict, Liu Che would just send the case back for retrial.

Then Wang He will never be able to make a success again, and he has lost this great opportunity to take off.

Wang He explained the case clearly.

Wang He’s first step was to make public the ridiculous part of this ridiculous incident, but to conceal the hidden story behind it.

From the very beginning, Zhang Ou had never thought of poisoning anyone. What he said about 'poisoning the dog with shit' and 'using the dog to poison people' to achieve the goal of damaging the Fan family's business was just his rhetoric as Jingzhao Yin.

He said that at first just to escalate the matter.

The purpose is to sacrifice himself to ignite public opinion and induce the aristocracy to form an alliance to fight against the merchant group.

The real reason was that the Imperial Censor Zhang Ou was behind the scenes causing trouble and forcing him to do so.

But, how could Wang He follow this logic to handle the case?
First of all, the reason why Wang He was chosen to handle the case was because he was very clear that the Imperial Physician Zhang Ou had made great contributions to the Queen and the Prince. If Zhang Ou wanted to be punished, he could, but he had to use other things to punish him instead of exposing him directly.

This is a political issue.

Apart from Zhang Ou, all other matters are handled in a businesslike manner.

Wang He's choice was to directly expose the outrageous aspects behind this incident and make it clear that the "poisonous person" was not real.

Therefore, Wang He judged that Xuanping Hou Zhang Ou was jealous of the Fan family's Fan Shengke's dog meat pizza business, so he used poisoning dogs to scare the Fan family.

Poisonous people do not exist.

If this is the case, Zhang Ou’s problem is just a fine, not a loss of title.

Of course, this conclusion is easy to come to, but how to appease and convince all parties is a big problem.

The reason Wang He used to convince the Fan family was that after the case was closed, the details of the case would be reported to the entire Chang'an County.

Closing statements will be posted on all bulletin boards in Chang'an County.

In the closing statement, it would be written that "Fan Shengke's dog meat pizza is the most popular pizza shop in Chang'an because it is delicious, and therefore it is envied." In fact, it is equivalent to advertising.

Wang He also revealed to the Fan family that His Majesty was very concerned about this matter. If the Fan family took a step back and could gain a certain degree of favor from His Majesty, there might be hope of restoring their title.

The Fan family immediately gave in, thinking that the penalty was very good.

Then there was the matter of how the defendant Zhang Ou agreed to the verdict but kept his mouth shut.

It was very simple to make him agree to the verdict. Just tell Zhang Ou, Marquis of Xuanping, that the scholar Zhang Tian had poisoned him.

When Marquis Xuanping learned that his illegitimate son was sent to poison him without his knowledge, he was furious.

Because once he died, Zhang Tian, ​​who poisoned him, would also have to pay with his life. It was obvious that the person holding the power behind the scenes was not prepared to let him go!
In this case, what is the point of Zhang Ou, Marquis of Xuanping, cooperating?
His only request is to expose everything and use his own title as a price to make the Emperor get rid of the mastermind behind all this!
However, his appeal was impossible.

Originally, the Zhang family was abandoned, and Liu Che had always treated them as if they did not exist. Given Liu Che's character, how could he deal with the imperial physician Zhang Ou for such a matter?

Although I can, I won’t do it.

Although Wang He understood that Zhang Ou was at a disadvantage in this matter, he could not influence Liu Che.

Therefore, Wang He gave Zhang Ou a choice: "Although Zhang Tian was forced, he committed a capital crime. If you let it go and stop pursuing the matter, Zhang Tian will disappear from the world, but I will have an extra spy named Zhang. If you don't let it go, Zhang Tian will be sentenced to a heavy punishment, and I can't guarantee whether he lives or dies."

In the end, Zhang Ou, Marquis of Xuanping, gritted his teeth and chose not to pursue the matter any further.

If he doesn't pursue it, Huo Hai will!

Imperial Doctor Zhang Ou took action and repeatedly stirred up trouble in the court. Before closing the case, Wang He also found Imperial Doctor Zhang Ou and told him what Huo Hai meant: "Sir Zhang, considering the old relationship between the Queen and the Crown Prince, this matter can clear you out, but please resign, otherwise the old relationship will no longer be useful."

"Master Zhang, you are very capable. I wonder how capable your three young masters are."

Huo Hai fights with Zhang Ou?

Huo Hai had no interest in fighting with Zhang Ou from beginning to end and repeatedly refused to accept the challenge.

Huo Hai knew what Zhang Ou was capable of, so he had nothing to fear.

Zhang Ou didn't care about Wang He's words at first, but when he heard Huo Hai say he wanted to deal with his son, he became anxious.

Zhang Outai knew that her son was a good-for-nothing, so why would he fight with Huo Hai?
His second son and third son are only two years old in total. What are they fighting about?

Zhang Ou didn't expect that the result of his conspiracy would be that the other party would hit him directly in the vital point.

Wang He also brought a message to Zhang Ou: "Master Huo said that he can't do anything, let alone take any challenge, and will not be your enemy. But Master Huo said that what he is best at is kicking the cripple's good leg."

Zhang Ou exploded immediately: "He dares!"

This sentence is a naked threat, meaning that you, Zhang Ou, have ruined your eldest son, right? Don't worry, I, Huo Hai, will make your twin sons, your second and third sons ruined, and will never allow them to serve as officials in the court.

The Imperial Censor Zhang Ou made a fuss about the two sons of Marquis Xuanping.

Huo Hai also made a fuss about his two sons.

The only difference is that the two sons of Zhang Ou, Marquis Xuanping, are at least six years old and an adult.

The two sons of Imperial Physician Zhang Ou were still infants.

Huo Hai even just used one sentence, without any form of action, and the imperial doctor retreated.

Because apart from conspiracy, there is only confrontation.

Confronting the Weihuo family head-on? Zhang Ou knew he couldn't do it.

Finally, Zhang Ou lost his temper and fell back onto the armchair.

(End of this chapter)
