Zhang Fei asked suspiciously, Hua Xiong nodded and said: "I don't know whether this person is filial or rebellious. General Huangfu said that this person just went to serve as an official because of the general's order. It was not that he had no intention of taking care of his father."
, but... for such a long time, he has never come to see General Huangfu. Although I am proficient in astronomy and geography, my ability to recognize people is still lacking. I don't know many traitors. I don't know these people.
I don’t know anyone well, so I want to ask Mr. Zhang for help.”
"Then how can I help you? Call him here and interrogate him?" Zhang Fei asked, Hua Xiong shook his head and said: "He will arrive in Luoyang in the next few days. By then, we will go to visit Huangfu together.
General, take a look at this person and observe calmly. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can help me??" Zhang Fei glanced at him and said: "I am busy with my affairs..."
"I have a lot of money to give you!"
"Although I am busy, I can still find some time. When can I go???"
After setting a time, the two of them dispersed.
After two days, Hua Xiong came to look for Zhang Fei. The two of them walked towards Huangfu Song's mansion. On the road, Zhang Fei was a little suspicious and asked: "I learned yesterday that Hua Gong killed Huangfu.
The eldest son of the general, why is this?" Hua Xiong was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei already knew it. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Zhang Jun doesn't know, I also went to arrest the thief that day, but failed.
I thought that the eldest son of General Huangfu was so domineering that he dared to attack me... I didn't know about it and had no intention of killing him."
"Later I learned that this man was the eldest son of General Huangfu, and I was helpless. General Huangfu was already so ill. If I told him the truth, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it, so I could only lie and tell him that his eldest son was in prison.
, In this way, he can feel more at ease. General Huangfu has two sons. The eldest son has been accidentally killed by me. I don’t know what kind of character this son is, so I invite you to come. During these days, the eldest son has been raising him.
I'm afraid that my second son won't be able to support the old general..." Hua Xiong said seriously.
Zhang Fei nodded, glanced at Hua Xiong, and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Hua still has feelings and righteousness!!"
"Hahaha, who in Luoyang doesn't know that I am a Chinese barbarian with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness?"
The two chatted all the way. When they arrived at General Huangfu's mansion, they knocked on the door. Soon a servant opened the door. After Hua Xiong informed him of his identity, the servant quickly welcomed him in. After entering the mansion, the mansion was completely new.
The original mess was clean, and there were still many servants busy. Under the guidance of the servants, the two came to the dormitory. Looking at General Huangfu lying on the bed, Hua Xiong frowned.
The second son of General Huangfu, Huangfu Gushou, was sitting next to General Huangfu, holding a bowl of soup and serving him. When he heard the voice behind him, he did not look back. He concentrated on dressing his father, finished the medicine, and then stood up.
He looked at the two Hua Xiong and saluted. Hua Xiong just nodded, took a step forward, looked at Huangfu Song on the hospital bed, and asked with a smile: "General Huangfu!! Here I come!!"
Huangfusong opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at the person in front of him. After looking for a long time, he seemed to remember who it was. His eyes widened and he grinned happily. His hands trembled slightly. Hua Xiong walked up.
In front of him, he held his hand and chatted with him. Hua Xiong said: "In the field of military science, Gongsun Zan was assigned to take charge. He taught well. He led these students around all day without stopping.
....”
While they were chatting, Zhang Fei also took Huangfu Gushou out. Standing outside the door, Zhang Fei looked at him and asked: "I heard that you are an official in Ningzhou? When you came to Luoyang, did you report it in advance?
??”
Hearing Zhang Fei's question, Huangfu Gushou quickly said: "I came in a hurry and haven't reported yet. I hope you won't blame me. I don't know your name?"
"I am Zhang Fei, the Imperial Attendant!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang!" Huangfu Gushou saluted again. Zhang Fei asked some more questions, and then he talked about Huangfu Song. He asked: "When did your father's condition become so serious??", mentioning
When talking about his father, Huangfu Gushou's eyes were a little red, and he said: "Before, my brother was taking care of my father. When my father wrote to me, he always said that he was very good. If it weren't for Hua Gong's letter,
I didn’t even know that my father was so ill.”
Not long after, Hua Xiong also came out, and Zhang Fei and Huangfu Gushou had finished chatting.
Seeing Hua Xiong come out, Huangfu Gushou bowed to him again and thanked him for coming to visit his old father. Hua Xiong said: "Don't think too much about your errand in Ningzhou. Take good care of your father. As long as I am here, no one dares to
It's your fault..." Huangfu Gushou bowed again. When he saw the two of them leaving, he quickly stopped Hua Xiong and asked, "Hua Gong, after I came here, for some reason, my father was always depressed.
I don’t know what I’m thinking, I don’t even want to take medicine or eat..."
"I know why it is like this. Don't worry. If I come back tomorrow, he won't be like this."
Hua Xiong said, and took Zhang Fei out. The two left the mansion, and then Hua Xiong asked: "How??"
"He is a good official and a filial son. He did not lie. General Huangfu has someone to succeed him!!!" Zhang Fei said. Hua Xiong then nodded, saluted Zhang Fei fiercely and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your help!", Zhang Fei
Shocked, he quickly helped Hua Xiong up and said with some embarrassment: "Hua Gong doesn't have to be like this! General Huangfu has devoted his life to the country, and I am happy to be able to help him! No need to say thank you!!!"
"Okay, then I won't say anything like thank you. Goodbye!" Hua Xiong said goodbye.
After seeing off Hua Xiong, Zhang Fei was a little pleased. Unexpectedly, Hua Xiong, who was accused of being rude by Luoyang ministers, would all treat him with such a great gift. This person was not as unbearable as the rumors said. He returned to
In the mansion, Zhang Fei talked about this matter with his cronies, feeling somewhat complacent. Until night, Zhang Fei was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, he sat up suddenly.
"No!!! My money!!! Hua Xiong thief!!!"
At this time, a distinguished guest was also welcomed into the palace, his name was Liu Ba.
Liu Ba was a native of Jingzhou. When he was eight years old, he was able to point out the faults of drinking wine in private schools and became famous in the counties. When he grew older, he was known to the governors of the states and counties for his intelligence and erudition. Most of them were
He wanted him to serve as his subordinate, but Liu Ba had developed a sense of arrogance since he was a child and was unwilling to follow it. He also looked down upon most of these people. But the more he acted like this, the more his reputation became far and wide.
Until later, he came to Luoyang and met with Ma Jun, hoping to get Wen Renxi's manuscript from Ma Jun.
Ma Jun told him that the manuscript had already been handed over to the temple. At present, perhaps only the old minister Jianning has the manuscript of Shijun. Only then did Liu Ba find Cai Yong. After talking to him, Cai Yong was shocked and directly handed over the manuscript to the temple.
He stayed with him and found manuscripts by Wen Renxi and even Wang Fu and gave them to him to read. With Cai Yong's qualifications, no one dared to refuse if he wanted to use these for viewing.
This time, Cai Yong recommended him to the emperor.
Speaking of which, Liu Ba was still a little excited. He rushed to the palace and waited for the emperor to summon him.
Liu Ba is talented, and talented people usually have a very obvious characteristic. They never take other people seriously. Previously, Liu Ba had always refused to serve in official positions because he did not want to be lower than these people.
, he felt that he had wronged himself, but this time, he was going to be summoned by the emperor. If he succeeded, he would be one of the nine ministers. Except for the three princes, no one would be able to rank with him. What a shame.
Glory!!
Liu Ba thought to himself and became more and more excited.
He was thinking that Huangmen came and took him to the Houde Hall and walked into the palace. Liu Ba was thinking about how to speak to let the emperor see his talent. Thinking in his heart, he came to the Houde Hall.
After walking into the main hall, he made a report and then entered the hall. When he walked into the hall, he saw the sturdy emperor. The emperor was sitting on a chair. When he saw him walking in, he smiled gently and said
: "My Liuhou is here!"
Liu Ba couldn't hide his excitement. He stayed with Zhang Liang. The emperor's praise was really too much for him to bear. He saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Ba, pay your respects!!" The emperor smiled.
Then, he asked him to stand up and sit in front of him. Then he looked at him and said with a smile: "Listening to Cai Gong's words, I just learned that I have such a fellow sect, a talented person in the country, but I didn't realize it.
..."
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise, and I dare not accept it."
"Why don't you dare? Your surname is Liu. If you are close to me, you don't have to be so restrained!" The emperor said, and asked about his family background. Sure enough, in this world, anyone with the surname Liu can still have some relationship with the clan.
Yes, Liu Ba's family has some connection with Liu Wei, King Xiao of Dongping. Liu Wei's ancestor is the grandson of Emperor Xiaojing and the second son of Liu Fa, King Ding of Changsha. In this way, Liu Ba really became a relative of the emperor.
You know, Emperor Xiaoguangwu is also a descendant of Liu Fa...Liu Bian is the son of Emperor Xiaokang, and Emperor Xiaokang is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaozhang, and Emperor Xiaozhang is the grandson of Emperor Xiaoguangwu. In this way, the two are still close relatives!
Liu Ba was a little confused about this. He entered the palace in white and for some reason, after a conversation, he became the emperor's cousin???
"I heard that my cousin knows a lot about finances. Now the national treasury is better than before, but it is still difficult to help the people. I wonder if my cousin has any good ideas?", the emperor asked kindly.
Liu Ba coughed, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have three strategies that can improve the country's finances. I have been thinking about these two strategies for a long time. Only three strategies can create wealth. One cast is worth a hundred coins, and the other two are worth a hundred coins.
Wujia, the three officials are the official market!"
The emperor was stunned and asked: "What should be done specifically?"
"Your Majesty, the first thing is to issue more currency. In this way, people can buy when they have money, and the economy will improve. If there are only people selling but no one buying, how can the world's economy continue to work? Issue more currency.
, can stimulate the acquisition!" Liu Ba said, the emperor nodded quickly and said: "Keep talking!"
"The second is to unify the prices of goods in the world. Your Majesty, the situation in different parts of the world is different and the production is different. The same goods can be resold by merchants and make huge profits. Only by unifying the prices of goods in the world can this situation be avoided. Combined with the third strategy
, the temple unifies prices, then buys at a certain price, and sells at a unified price. In this way, both the people and the temple can make profits. In addition, Your Majesty needs to know that if more currency is issued... prices will definitely rise..."
"As prices rise and more benefits are obtained, producers will produce more, and the unemployed will join in. In a virtuous cycle, the economy will improve..."
Liu Ba said, when he looked at the emperor again, the emperor was already a little shocked.
"You and I are like Liuhou and Emperor Taizu, like Peihou and Emperor Renzong!!"
