Entering the palace for the second time! Book paper
Huo Guang was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Pu Tian would see his intention.
It seems that what I did was not well hidden.
Fortunately, all the guests had been invited away beforehand, and after the restaurant was cleared, only the rangers were left.
so!
Even if the intention is discovered, only Pu Tian knows about it at present.
Think of this.
My heart immediately relaxed a lot.
but!
You still have to deceive!
Huo Guang looked at Pu Tian and rolled his eyes. He soon thought of the reason and said, "Yes, I have plans to recruit these rangers."
"The main reason is that we don't own a restaurant."
"look."
"There are already four restaurants in Chang'an City now, and the competition is fierce. Not to mention taking the initiative to send people to engage in other people's business, at least you have to prevent others from making trouble."
However.
This statement did not fool Pu Tian.
Even seeing him say that he came here to take care of the restaurant business, he immediately snorted coldly.
Then!
He even said disdainfully: "From your expression, I can tell you are lying!"
"expression?"
Huo Guang was a little confused.
Why can't you tell from your own expression?
Is it possible?
Didn't he control his expression well just now?
At this time.
Guard Han Shuo, who was standing behind Pu Tian, opened his mouth to remind: "Huo Yilang, every time you talk nonsense, your eyes will always wander. You can tell at a glance that you are looking for excuses for yourself!"
wipe?
And this thing
Huo Guang was a little confused, but he still glared at Han and said, "Go, go, go, I'm talking to the head of your family, why are you, a guard, interrupting!"
"you!"
Han said he was angered by Huo Guang's words.
I am His Majesty’s favorite!
When the princes and nobles see me, not to mention respect, they must at least give me three portions of thin noodles.
How can you not be angry now that you are being criticized by a young man?
but!
At this moment, the master of the family was right in front of him, and he couldn't get angry, so he had to endure it.
Pu Tian glanced at Han Shuo and then at Huo Guang, then knocked on the table and cursed: "You are becoming more and more arrogant now, and you are almost catching up with your brother in Chang'an City."
When Huo Guang heard him talking about his brother, he quickly asked: "What was my brother like back then? Do you know?"
"Qu Bing, he was in Chang'an back then." Pu Tian said, suddenly seemed to realize something, and immediately changed his voice and said: "Don't change the subject, tell me honestly, what are you gathering these rangers for?
"
Talk and talk.
Returning to this topic again, Huo Guang became a little annoyed.
immediately.
He then said: "Uncle, you are boring like this. What I want to do is my freedom."
"Right?"
"You are not my cheap daddy, you don't care what I do!"
Seeing Huo Guang's tough attitude, Pu Tian frowned slightly and snorted: "You won't say it, right? OK, I'll tell Prime Minister Li right now that you are deliberately harboring criminals and gathering a group of rangers with the intention of treason!"
Gathering Rangers?
Intent to rebel?
After hearing this, Huo Guang felt bad all over.
"Don't talk nonsense. This statement can really kill people. And you are also responsible for this restaurant. If something happens to me, uncle, do you think you can get away with it?"
He wanted to scare Pu Tian with his threatening words.
Unfortunately, not only did it not frighten Pu Tian, but it actually made Pu Tian's face gradually turn cold and he said, "That's really useful. I also want to see if I can get away!"
What did this uncle do wrong today?
Speechless
Huo Guang could only sigh and said: "Okay, I said that. What else could I do this for? Of course it is for His Majesty!"
Pu Tian frowned, stared at Huo Guang and asked, "For your Majesty? Huh, don't you know that doing things in the name of the emperor privately is a capital crime?"
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and explained: "Doing things in the name of the emperor? No, no, you misunderstood. What I mean is that these rangers are gathered so that His Majesty can pardon Guo Xie's crimes. Logically speaking, Guo Xie should be innocent.
They were all tricked by his retainers!"
at this time.
Pu Tian's eyes were full of disdain and he said slowly: "What does pardoning Guo Xie have to do with you gathering the rangers? Or do you want to gather these rangers and consolidate them into strength to fight against the emperor, right?"
"Confrontation? Uncle, do you think I'm the kind of person who wants to die for nothing?" Huo Guang couldn't help but complain, and then said: "Actually, to put it simply, I want to use these rangers for me, so that Your Majesty can also
See how useful these people are."
"You see, killing Guo Xie makes the rangers even more lawless."
"But if you put a ranger in hand, you can have an extra guard in uniform to monitor the world. Why not?"
If you look at this issue from Huo Guang's perspective, then this is more like a business, and he would definitely do it if he were the emperor.
But in fact.
Everyone thinks about the problem from a different perspective.
This is especially true when Pu Tian doesn’t even understand what Jin Yiwei is.
"Jinyiwei? What is this?" Pu Tian asked curiously.
Huo Guang thought for a while and explained: "It is an organization dedicated to special affairs. In the early stage, it can only be used to collect military and political intelligence and be directly controlled by His Majesty. For example, which officials in the court are bending the law for personal gain, and which officials are lazy and lazy in politics?
Now, we all know which officials are honest and capable."
"Like this spider web."
"If it develops, it will extend to every corner of the entire Han Dynasty. All disturbances will not escape the eyes of the emperor."
"This is Jin Yiwei!"
As a person in power, after listening to Huo Guang's description, I immediately understood the benefits of the Jinyiwei organization.
It’s just since the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
The reputation of rangers has long been ruined by the royal family. What's more, there is a royal guard composed entirely of rangers!
Think of this.
Pu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "You boasted in front of those knights earlier that you could save Guo Xie with your head as a guarantee. Then if His Majesty takes your suggestion but doesn't want to let Guo Xie go, you should
What should we do?”
"You mean, His Majesty will form the Imperial Guard himself, but without the need for rangers?" Huo Guang asked with a frown.
now.
Pu Tian glanced sideways at Huo Guang, nodded, and said, "Yes, that's what you mean!"
"That's impossible!"
Huo Guang said firmly.
