The big man has a living father

Chapter 191 (Big Chapter) Everyone is doing their best
After careful consideration, Huo Hai determined that Jiang Qi was the person he was looking for.

Shown in the data.

[Jiang Qi was proficient in medicine, and his sister was good at singing, dancing, and playing the zither. She married the crown prince of Zhao, Liu Dan. Jiang Qi became a distinguished guest of Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu.]

Why is he in the investigation?

The reason is actually quite simple.

Jiang Qi, the brother-in-law, and Liu Dan, the Crown Prince of Zhao, do not get along.

The specific reasons why they were not dealt with were not specified in the information.

Anyway, Jiang Qi once happened to meet Liu Dan, the prince of Zhao, who was engaged in orthopedics with his own sister.

Probably recently, Jiang Qi went to report to Liu Dan's father, King Zhao Liu Pengzu.

In fact, this matter is a double-edged sword.

Liu Pengzu was well-known in the State of Zhao.

This guy is a prime minister killer, and he often uses high-pressure policies to cover up his personal misdeeds.

Anyone who wanted to go to Chang'an to file a complaint would be stopped by Liu Pengzu and tortured in Zhao State.

In other words, after the trade route was opened, it became easier to go to Chang'an, otherwise Jiang Qi might not dare to report him.

Historically, it is estimated that Jiang Qi had to wait until a rift arose between Liu Pengzu and Liu Dan before sowing discord.

After all, this guy is a professional in suing the prince.

But that time in history, he was not successful either. He was hunted down by Crown Prince Liu Dan, so he had to flee to Chang'an.

But this time it was better. He failed to sue successfully, and before Crown Prince Liu Dan had the chance to hunt him down, the envoy in embroidered robes came to his door.

Jiang Qi naturally told the envoy in embroidered clothes everything that King Zhao had done.

In fact, to be honest, King Zhao Liu Pengzu didn't do anything particularly out of line, and was much better than Liu Xijun's father.

Liu Pengzu's biggest characteristic is his love of money.

I started a business before and caught the trend and became really rich.

People like Cao Xiang and Liu Sheng wanted to expand their business after they became rich, but Liu Pengzu did not.

He started spending money like crazy.

And also give the money to children to spend.

However, among the projects that the nobles spend money on, there are inevitably some more extraordinary ones.

For example, raising female slaves, and then transforming them into raising sexual slaves.

These things are also recorded.

In fact, Liu Che had repeatedly warned against adultery among relatives before. This time, after Science News published the research report, he began to ban marriage among close relatives and issued orders to all countries to again ban relatives from doing such things.

Liu Dan is now in trouble.

When Liu Che learned about this, he immediately removed Liu Dan from his post.

Then Liu Pengzu did something so hilarious.

About eight years ago, Liu Fei, the King of Jiangdu Yi, was the king that Dong Zhongshu had assisted in the past. He was also the father of Liu Jian and the grandfather of Liu Xijun.

Liu Fei died, and then Liu Pengzu married one of his brother Liu Fei's concubines.

Gave birth to a child.

Now that Liu Dan had been deposed, Liu Pengzu wanted to make him the crown prince.

Liu Che was so furious that he ordered a scolding of Liu Pengzu, and then he asked someone to send the information to Huo Hai for him to take a look and give his opinion.

Huo Hai had no opinion about Liu Pengzu.

Although he spends his money in a somewhat extravagant way, the general environment now is for development, and his spending is a big boon to the economy.

But when he appointed a crown prince, Emperor Wu of Han was displeased and just scolded him.

Huo Hai paid more attention to Jiang Qi!
Jiang Qi is now in Chang'an.

Huo Hai wrote a letter of introduction to the Embroidered Uniform Envoy and asked Xiang Xu to handle it, then he hurried out to the palace.

Jiang Qi must be forced to leave Chang'an.

If he doesn't leave, I'll have to find a way to kill him.

Such people cannot be kept.

……

Heating has started in Liu Che's palace.

There is no autumn this year, and after summer it is winter. Fortunately, I went hunting before the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss this year.

However, Liu Che was still thinking that after the prince's steamship was renovated, he would take it to tour the north and south.

With it, you can travel on the artificial rivers near Chang'an, and go downstream to places that were too far away to reach before.

Like Liu Che in history, at this age, seeing that many of his peers have passed away, Liu Che has already had the idea of ​​traveling around.

However, the weather was too cold today, and Liu Che had not yet adapted to it, so he stayed in the hall that had just been heated.

By the way, several ministers are working here today.

Wang Nei Shi: "Your Majesty, Marquis Wu requests to see you."

Liu Che was puzzled.

Even several ministers in the office were confused.

The sun rose from the west. When did Huo Hai ever come to the palace on his own initiative?

Liu Che: "Xuan."

When Huo Hai came in, he saw several ministers there and greeted them, "Hey, Prime Minister, Lord Zhang is here too?"

Zhang Tang smiled with a fake smile: "Master Huo!"

Huo Hai: "You are all...are you trying a case?"

Liu Che spoke up: "There are so many things that need to be done in the court. These are all death penalty cases, so of course they must be tried."

Huo Hai could only smile.

This thing.

Huo Hai has seen a short video introducing the death penalty in ancient times. When it was least severe, such as during the reign of Emperor Li Shimin, there were only about a hundred executions a year.

When there are more people, it is not the period of Zhu Yuanzhang.

How many people did Zhu Yuanzhang kill? During the Han Dynasty, 1% to 0.1% of the total population was executed every year.

Exaggeration?
It's only the reign of Emperor Wu, and there are only about 400 death penalty clauses. The short video says that there were more than 1,000 death penalty clauses during the reign of Emperor Cheng.

How should I put it? In modern times, there are less than 500 criminal laws in total, and less than 50 death penalty articles.

In the past, some people always said that the laws of the Han Dynasty were simple because of the Three Articles of Law. That was really wrong.

Liu Che looked at Huo Hai and said, "You seem to be very disdainful of what they did? Why, do you want to remove some death penalty laws to clear your name?"

Huo Hai: “That’s not the case, but I think it’s a pity to kill most of the people who are subject to the death penalty.”

"Everyone who can commit the death penalty is a strong laborer. It is better to be arrested and imprisoned than to be sentenced to death."

"Go to jail?" Liu Che: "Waste food."

Huo Hai: "What I mean is, let them go to jail, but use labor reform to make them realize their mistakes and start a new life."

Liu Che: "That's just to win a good reputation. Absolutely not."

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, if we kill 3,000 death row prisoners a year and make them work without paying them, that would be..."

Liu Che answered quickly: "One hundred and eight million!"

After answering the question, Liu Che turned around and looked at Zhang Tang: "Zhang Tang, think about it!"

Just by changing death row prisoners into laborers, the court could save 100 million yuan in expenses. If these people were to work, they could generate several hundred million yuan in revenue.

These people don't just die after working for one year, they work for decades!

If we calculate it on average for 20 years, that’s 2 billion per year. If this policy lasts for 20 years, that’s 40 billion! The income created by labor is at least more than 200 billion!

This account cannot be settled. Once it is settled, Liu Che will immediately want to send everyone to labor camp!

Li Cai also thought this policy was good: "Good, this policy is good. It is beneficial and can make the people aware of the court's tolerance."

"It's just that some death row inmates really shouldn't be pardoned, such as those who surrendered to other countries, or those who committed murder."

Liu Che: "Of course these people should be killed to serve as a warning to others, but if they knew that the court would keep them working forever, I'm afraid their enthusiasm would not be as high as the workers who were hired with money."

Huo Hai had talked about this issue with Liu Che before. Those who were doing corvée labor were far less willing to work than those who were paid, and their efficiency was also far lower.

Ordinary people serve three days of labor service a year, but these prisoners serve 365 days a year. I guess they are even less willing to do that.

Huo Hai: "This is simple. In fact, we don't need to lock him up for life. We should lock him up for 20 years. Only the worst cases will be sentenced to life imprisonment."

"But life imprisonment can be commuted to twenty-five years if the person behaves well. After serving twenty-five years, he will be released."

“Those sentenced to 20 years can have their sentences reduced by three or four years if they behave well, and serve 16 years.”

"As long as they feel they can get out, they will have hope and will naturally work hard. However, few people can actually get out. When they do, they are already old and no longer have the ability to harm society again. Because of long-term ideological training and normative education, the probability of them harming society again is also small."

Zhang Tang: "How about this: the price of food and clothes in the prison is ten times that of the outside world, but the quantity is half. And if you work in the prison, you will get paid. But it is not called a salary, but a reward for good performance, which is only a few tenths of that in the outside world."

"If they behave well in the cell, it's just enough to have a meal of meat every three days."

"It doesn't cost much, but it can motivate a lot of prisoners."

When it comes to this kind of thing, Zhang Tang had already thought of it before Huo Hai even said it.

As expected of someone who caught, interrogated and sentenced mice when he was a kid.

People like Zhang Tang are actually quite powerful. It is said that people who abuse animals tend to kill people, but this has not been verified and is just a fabrication in film and television dramas.

But Zhang Tang really had this tendency.

Moreover, Zhang Tang was a man of high intelligence. Not only did he abuse and kill animals, he also insisted on having a legitimate reason.

But, when asked to think of ways to exploit others, he didn't even need to think; they came out subconsciously.

When it comes to vicious schemes against people, Jia Xu has to admit defeat.

Liu Che: "Okay, let's do it this way."

Huo Hai: "But there is one thing. If we want to implement this, we need to consider public grievances."

"If some cases cause too much social repercussions, then don't accumulate public resentment for such a laborer, just sentence him to death directly."

Zhang Tang nodded: "That makes sense, Lord Huo. It seems that the position of the Supreme Court Justice is actually the most suitable for you."

"When I was a court judge, I only thought about things from the perspective of the law, but not from the perspective of what was good for the country. But you are different."

Huo Hai wouldn't fall for Zhang Tang's tricks.

This guy is a pure cruel official, although he is quite honest at the moment.

However, Huo Hai did not have any idea of ​​discriminating against him. If Zhang Tang could really survive like this for his whole life, he would not be considered a cruel official in history. It would not be an exaggeration to call him Zhang Qingtian.

In fact, what Zhang Tang could do was purely a direct reaction and expression of what Liu Che wanted to do.

If Liu Che no longer wanted to use violence to discipline the nobles, Zhang Tang would not have much trouble.

Now that Liu Che has control over the economic tool, why would he need to use violence to deal with the nobles he dislikes?
He has many ways to make those who are not good for the country live a life worse than death.

Liu Che decided on this matter, and then he looked at Huo Hai: "By the way, what brings you to the palace? Is there any treasure?"

Huo Hai actually often went to the palace, but every time he did so he either gave gifts to the prince or the queen.

Recently, it has been changed to giving things to Liu Mo.

Wei Zifu gave birth to Liu Che's second son, named Liu Mo. This little guy did not exist in history.

Huo Hai also values ​​this child very much.

Because... to be honest, Liu Che lived too long. Now that medical conditions are better, he should live longer.

Let's wait and see... Liu Ju is already old.

Liu Ju is really miserable. He may have to be the crown prince for sixty years.

It is said that there can't be a crown prince who serves for thirty years in the world, so how could Liu Ju have two?

However, this was not the only reason why Huo Hai took a fancy to Liu Mo, but because Liu Ju really did not inherit the good qualities of his parents.

If Liu Che was a dragon and Wei Zifu was a phoenix, Liu Ju could be considered a deer. He was not weak, but he really had no claws and fangs.

This is due to personality.

Maybe Liu Ju can be a technology expert in his lifetime? After all, he has a connection with cars.

Because there is a young child named Huo Xian at home, Huo Hai often makes some small toys, and he always makes two sets, one for each of the two children.

Whatever Huo Hai made would soon become popular throughout Chang'an, so every time Huo Hai sent something to the palace, many people paid attention to it.

However, today Huo Hai did not go to the Pepper Palace or the Prince's Palace, but came to the Weiyang Palace.

Huo Hai looked puzzled: "Didn't Your Majesty ask me for my opinion on that embroidered robe envoy?!"

Liu Che: "Hmm? When did I ever ask you for your opinion on the Embroidered Robe Envoy?"

When Zhang Tang, Li Cai and others heard the words "Embroidered Robe Envoy", they pretended not to hear anything.

Liu Che walked to the side and Huo Hai followed.

When they got to the side, Huo Hai whispered, "Your Majesty asked the Embroidered Uniform Envoy to show me the information. Wasn't it to see if Jiang Qi had the potential to be an Embroidered Uniform Envoy?"

Liu Che: "I want you to see if you have any opinions about Liu Pengzu."

Huo Hai retreated tactically: "What title do I hold? How dare I point fingers at His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhao?"

Liu Che: "So, you think I asked you to look at the information to see if Jiang Qi has the potential like Wang He?"

Huo Hai nodded: "That's it."

Liu Che would never have thought that Huo Hai and Jiang Qi, who were not related to him at all, had a personal grudge, so he didn't even think about it and just followed Huo Hai's line of thought.

It is true that Huo Hai had previously recommended the need for an external agency similar to the Embroidered Envoy, which was dedicated to gathering information from various countries and stirring up trouble in those countries. And Wang He did a very good job.

When Huo Hai recommended Wang He, Liu Che was not so happy.

Logically speaking, this is a spy, a secret agent, and a detective, who should be kept secret and should not be recommended by anyone and should only be responsible to the emperor.

But a word from Huo Hai at that time changed Liu Che's mind.

Huo Hai said that the Han Dynasty is good at diplomacy, but other countries are just barbarians and do not understand diplomacy.

Therefore, if a diplomatic ambassador only focuses on diplomacy but does not understand the work of a spy, he will not be able to do a good job.

Wang He’s Jinyiwei organization is considered a diplomatic agency at the current stage. When all countries know the rules of diplomacy in the future, the diplomatic spies will be moved underground.

There is only one purpose for doing this.

It means setting an example and requiring other countries to do the same.

What is the size of the Han Dynasty? It is normal to have a set of diplomatic ambassadors on the surface and spies in secret.

Where do those small countries have so many talents and so many human resources to set up one system overtly and another system covertly? They can't even afford to pay salaries.

Since small countries cannot play this trick, the diplomatic initiative will always be in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

If a small country lets its ambassador act like a spy, he will be arrested and sentenced, thus circumventing the iron rule that "two countries at war should not kill envoys."

Once the other party's ambassadors can be manipulated at will, their role will be infinitely reduced.

But our own rules are still rules. Small countries must abide by the rule of 'two countries at war do not kill envoys'. If the ambassador of the Han Dynasty does not do spy work at that time, the other side will not be able to get any handle on him.

But at the beginning of implementation, Wang He actually served as an ambassador.

Recommending a spy chief is outrageous, but recommending an ambassador is normal.

So Liu Che appointed Wang He and established the Jinyiwei system.

As a result, Wang He did a very good job.

So far, Wang He has been very busy. He is no longer in Chang'an and has turned to the long border line from southwest to southeast.

His people and his work are everywhere.

Liu Che now knows more intelligence about the Nanyue Kingdom than the Nanyue King Zhao Yingqi.

Thinking of this, Liu Che asked: "What do you think of Jiang Qi?"

Huo Hai: "Jiang Qi is a villain, but he is a capable person."

"He can only be asked to do small, specific tasks, but not to be allowed to take power, otherwise it will be a disaster."

Liu Che: "Oh? What's the basis?"

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, I noticed that Jiang Qi actually knew about Liu Dan's adultery with his sister a long time ago, but he never reported it to King Zhao, nor did he report it to Your Majesty."

"This matter has happened at least five or six years ago. How many years has it been since the former crown prince of Zhao, Liu Dan, came of age? How long has his sister been married? I think it's been at least three or four years? Or even five or six, eight or nine. In other words, this matter happened at least five or six years ago. Everything was fine for five or six years, but now it's reported. What's the reason?"

"It shows that he is not acting according to the law as he said."

Since Emperor Liu Che came to power, he has strictly enforced the law. Although it was not so bad among the common people, any nobles or clan members who broke the law were severely sentenced.

This was an era when ordinary people who broke the law were punished by drinking three cups of wine, while royal relatives who broke the law were beheaded.

Therefore, Liu Che was actually not very sensitive in this regard.

After twenty years of strict enforcement, almost everyone Liu Che could come into contact with was cautious and used the law as a boundary and abided by the rules.

Therefore, Liu Che saw nothing wrong with Jiang Qi's words. He thought that Jiang Qi was indeed a law-abiding citizen since he could report his sister's husband, his backer.

Huo Hai: "If he really doesn't fear power, doesn't covet wealth, and would sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice, he should have reported it five or six years ago."

"But why did Jiang Qi report it now?"

"I would like to make a bold guess. Jiang Qi and Liu Dan have had a falling out in the past year. He can no longer rely on Liu Dan to gain benefits, and Liu Dan dislikes him, so Jiang Qi wants to fight back."

Liu Che didn't understand at once: "Why is this called countermeasure? Why isn't this a change of heart after five years?"

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, let me sort it out again and make it clearer."

"For the first five or six years, Jiang Qi followed Liu Dan and lived a life of luxury and nobility. He knew that Liu Dan was doing illegal things at that time, but he was greedy for wealth and power, so he did not report it."

"After five or six years, Liu Dan showed the slightest sign of disliking him, and he immediately bit Liu Dan to death. Now Liu Dan is no longer the crown prince of Zhao."

“This is of a different nature.”

"If he had reported it at the beginning, he would have been abiding by the law. He is only reporting it now, which means he is using the law to achieve his own goals."

"And the reason he attacked was simply because Liu Dan no longer liked him. Liu Dan had given him a good life for five or six years, but just because he didn't like him, he bit his master to death."

"If I keep this kind of person as a guard dog, I will not be able to sleep well."

Liu Che thought about it for a moment and suddenly came to his senses.

Indeed, this Jiang Qi was not a law-abiding citizen at all, but was just using the law to help him kill people. And the reason he wanted to kill was just because Liu Dan didn't like him?
Liu Che: "Your speculation makes sense, but it is not certain. Maybe Liu Dan doesn't just dislike him, but is trying to deal with him and wants to kill him. That's different."

Huo Hai cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has also seen that the investigation report of the Embroidered Envoy shows that Liu Dan is not a good person. Liu Dan has spent money to hire a group of thugs and even assassins. Whether he has secretly ordered the assassins to kill people, or just hired them to scare the people, only he knows."

"But if Liu Dan, a man with power, money and thugs, wanted to deal with Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi would have died long ago, and it would not be his turn to fight back."

"It is because of this that I speculate that Liu Dan just dislikes Jiang Qi, so Jiang Qi immediately bit back."

In fact, the main reason for Huo Hai's speculation was that Jiang Qi later bit Crown Prince Liu Ju, and such a person was definitely not a good person.

He can be said to be crazy in order to achieve his goal.

This kind of crazy behavior is rare throughout history.

Such a person can be said to be a madman.

It can be said that if you do a random search, the results can only be more outrageous than this, and it cannot be any less severe than this.

People can change, but their bad nature will never change for the better.

Liu Che: "So he wanted to use me to get rid of Liu Dan, and he succeeded."

Huo Hai: "No, Your Majesty, this is another matter."

"Your Majesty, you are only strictly enforcing the law and implementing your own policies. Liu Dan is just taking advantage of the situation."

"Before he came to power, he was incapable of doing bad things. At most, he could use the rules to help him get things done."

"That's why I said he can do some things, but he can't be in power."

Liu Che nodded: "That makes sense. I will investigate him. If that is true, then he cannot be allowed to be the Embroidered Robe Envoy."

In Chang'an City, apart from the imperial power, the prime minister's power, the military power and other major powers, who else has more power than the Embroidered Uniform Envoy? Such a person is definitely not qualified to be the Embroidered Uniform Envoy.

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Donghai Island plan we talked about before? Jiang Qi is a medical practitioner and a ruthless character. Why don't we..."

Of course, Liu Che had received Peng Yi's report before, and learned about what Huo Hai said about an island in the East China Sea, where people on the island invaded China and killed 35 million people.

This number was too high and almost led to the destruction of an entire Chinese nation. However, Liu Che knew of no such record in history, so he called Huo Hai to ask about it.

Huo Hai only said that he read it in a book, which was absolutely true, and there was even a map in the book, which could not be fake. But the book was written on old bamboo slips, which have been damaged.

The Huo family has many ancient bamboo slips with disappeared characters, and the people also have many ancient books that Liu Che has never read. This is not surprising.

After Liu Che knew there was a map, he understood how to judge the authenticity of the matter.

As long as Qiancheng's ship is built, we can find it according to the map. If there really is such a big island, it must be true.

Because the island that Huo Hai drew 'according to the book' was very large, comparable to the area of ​​two states of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty had no idea that there were such large islands overseas.

If there really is such a large island at that time, then what is recorded in that ancient book must be true.

But then again, Liu Che didn't care whether it was true or not. Liu Che was not a soft-hearted person. Liu Che had already tried his best to cherish the people of the Han Dynasty. As for those outside the Han Dynasty? Liu Che just didn't want to take the blame.

When the old matter was brought up again, Liu Che understood.

Jiang Qi is a man who is skilled in medicine and is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve success.

Since he is so obsessed, send him over to do research.

If he feels that he can be promoted after making meritorious service, he will do his job even better.

As long as he is not promoted, he will keep working.

If he is a long-lived person, then let him return to the Han Dynasty when he is older.

The death row prisoners in that prison can come back after 25 years. Jiang Chong went to work on the island, so it would be no big deal for him to come back after decades.

By then, no matter how ruthless he is, he will no longer be a threat due to his old age.

Liu Che immediately asked someone to investigate.

At the beginning, I had no idea and couldn’t find anything, but now that I have specifically searched for it, it is very easy to find it.

Just as Huo Hai expected, Jiang Qi spent a few good years with Liu Dan.

However, unlike what Huo Hai expected, Liu Dan did not hate Jiang Qi's behavior at all.

However, Liu Dan always gave Jiang Qi the highest honor gift at every banquet.

Recently, Liu Dan deducted part of Jiang Qi's reward as a punishment for Jiang Qi's sister having displeased Liu Dan before.

In this way, Jiang Qi reported Liu Dan to Liu Pengzu without hesitation. When he failed, he immediately reported Liu Dan to Liu Che through the embroidered robe envoy.

After reading the investigation report, Liu Che was sweating profusely.

Just this thing almost made him become the Embroidered Robe Envoy. If he had really become so, then after accumulating experience for a few more years, he could become an official in the court, which would have been a big problem.

Liu Che immediately issued an order, allowing Jiang Qi to go to Qiancheng with the latest navigation project.

At this time, Erkuan's project team had already arrived in Qiancheng, where the road from Lu and Qi had been repaired in advance and a steel plant had been built.

Once the width is met, we will start building 60-meter steam paddle steamers and at the same time research 100-meter propeller ironclad ships.

Peng Yi also selected some people who were willing to leave Chang'an District for a long time to pursue their medical ambitions, and set off for Qiancheng together.

At the same time, Jiang Qi was brought along.

On the way, Peng Yi took out the secret decree and told Jiang Qi what he and his men were going to do.

After hearing this, Jiang Qi was stunned.

Go to a large island in the East China Sea to study medicine? The subjects are the islanders?
Peng Yi took out the secret decree and told Jiang Qi that every research result this time would be considered a merit, comparable to military merit, and he could be awarded a title of nobility!

Jiang Qi was immediately excited.

Jiang Qi has been waiting for this day for a long time!
Peng Yi told Jiang Qi that he would be gone for a very long time this time, and the longer he stayed, the greater the possibility of being granted a title of nobility.

As long as you have accumulated enough merits and are awarded the title of nobility, you can come back.

Jiang Qi directly stated that he would not come back unless he was granted a title of nobility!

Once on the island, apart from Peng Yi from the research institute and other researchers, Jiang Qi is the one who has the final say. He can decide life and death over the people on the island, and he can even be granted a title of nobility in the future.

This is the life Jiang Qi has always dreamed of!
Jiang Qi immediately stated that he must be granted the title of nobility!

In order to express his willingness, Jiang Qi changed his name.

Before coming to Chang'an, Jiang Qi wanted to change his name to Jiang Chong.

Now Jiang Qi wants to change his name to Edo.

A man should be a marquis.

Peng Yi was puzzled: "Why is it the Marquis of Wanhu? A title of marquis does not necessarily mean the title of the Marquis of Wanhu. It is also rare to be an ordinary marquis. Besides, why don't you call yourself Jiang Wan? Why do you call yourself Jiang Hu?"

Can Jianghu tell Pengyi the truth?

He told Peng Yi, you are the Marquis of Xingting, how could I be lower than you?
Jianghu is just the lowest-ranking person in this research team. How could he possibly tell the truth to the leader Peng Yi?
Jiang Hu smiled and said, "Since we have already made a vow, let's make a big vow. As for Wan, that's not good. What if I... my achievements are higher? Maybe you can be granted the title of Marquis of 20,000 households or even 30,000 households by then? Or even higher. What if I have more than 10,000 households by then? So let's call me Jiang Hu, not Jiang Wan."

In fact, Peng Yi had already been pulled away by Huo Hai for a secret talk, and now he believed Huo Hai's words even more. It turned out that this Jiang Qi, no, this Edo was such a person.

Huo Hai warned Peng Yi that when going to the islands in the East China Sea, he must not let Edo come back, and he must not let Edo get promoted. If he really can't be suppressed anymore, he can be promoted a little, but he must do it slowly so that he can't get promoted high. He must also make sure that others suppress him and make him surrounded by enemies, but don't cut off his hope of becoming a marquis. He should be recorded for as many merits as he deserves.

Only in this way can Edo exert his 'strength'.

In history, the witchcraft disaster killed tens to hundreds of thousands of people! The exact number is not determined, but a large number of nobles were beheaded according to their family tree. A large number of ordinary people were also affected, and three clans were wiped out. There was no one on the street after being killed.

With such a person, Huo Hai can make the best use of everyone's talents, and even Huo Hai admires himself.

However, Huo Hai also explained this to Tian Jue, the general who was sent to support the battle.

No matter what the circumstances, Edo must not be allowed to return.

Tian Jue had worked with Huo Hai in the Chang'an Lieutenant's Office for such a long time and had been in the army for so many years. He was not a fool, so of course he understood what it meant.

But if that day never comes, there is no need to take action.

If such a day comes, Tian Jue is willing to take the blame for Huo Hai.

Because Tian Jue knew that if it was necessary for him to take action, what he would get in return was countless wealth for his family and children.

The people around the young master are all powerful people in Chang'an now. Who wouldn't want to work for Huo Hai?

Besides, it's not necessarily the fault. Mr. Huo, how can you ask others to take the blame so easily?
……

In early October, people on the streets were all wearing thick clothes, all cotton robes, and even many coachmen were wearing cotton coats made of waterproof canvas fabric.

At this time, a group of people stepped onto the streets of Chang'an and exclaimed: "It's so warm!!!"

The people around them turned around to look at them.

Isn't this crazy? Warm? Are you stupid? Now we are freezing, the temperature has dropped below 10 degrees, and it's still warm? These crazy people are wearing thin clothes? Can't afford clothes? Huh? They obviously have so many thick clothes in their car!

At this time, Huo Hai was riding a horse on the long street.

Huo Hai always took a car when he went out, unless he was riding a horse with the princess.

But this time I had to ride a horse.

Because Huo Hai is anxious!
Looking at the person in the distance, Huo Hai was unsure, but he felt that he looked familiar: "Ge San!!!"

Ge San burst into tears: "Commander!"

"I'm back, I'm back from the North Pole!"

The North Pole? Huo Hai was shocked.

Have we really reached the North Pole?
