After joining the Sanfu, Ren Hong asked his personal guards to go to the Shifang to inquire. There were really similar rumors spreading. It seemed that the matter had grown legs and had spread completely. However, most of the people who were rumored were idle people in the Shifang, and the purpose of spreading was not to slander the general and subvert the court, but because...

Breaking mouth!

But the rumors involve a lot of political affairs. If it weren't for the officialdom, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to create this rumor.

When they were about to arrive in Beijing and were in Maoling County to set up a office, Ren Hong specially booked the entire yard and cleared everyone, leaving Yang Yun to sleep with him. The two of them discussed the matter in a low voice.

"Ziyou thought, who was the one who caused this incident?"

Yang Yun raised his eyes and smiled and said, "Isn't it what the lords did? The general suddenly summoned Daoyuan to return to the court, and did not know the good or bad. Therefore, he sent people to spread rumors to encourage public opinion to protect themselves. Just from the good sons of Tianshui County asking for orders to go to the crisis, and the general sent me to welcome him with the five seals of the emperor. This move is quite effective."

I...I'll kill myself?

Ren Hong said solemnly: "Don't joke, I will return to the court with my son, trembling as if walking on thin ice. How could I deliberately take risks?"

Yang Yun also deliberately tried Ren Hong, but Ren Hong suspected him in turn.

Yang Yun understood just by looking at Ren Hong's eyes, and before he could say it, he denied it: "The Marquis of Xi'an should not doubt Yun. If this matter spreads, even if the world doubts Huo, if it is fake, it will be unfavorable to Taoism. Yun has no intention of harming the king."

So this matter cannot be a general's voluntary move, but the Huo clan members are intricately divided, can anyone be foolish? He heard from Yang Yun that Huo Yu and others were very opposed to Ren Hong's return to the court. Like Fan Mingyou, he has regarded this peer as a competitor in the court. Who made Ren Hong shine too much and surpass everyone?

But since Tian Yannian's death, the general's control over the Huo family suddenly became much more strict, and the most passive person after this incident spread was Huo himself.

"Can it be..." Yang Yun bowed to Chang'an and pointed at His Majesty the Emperor.

In the past four years, in Yang Yun's eyes, the emperor became more and more proficient in power and skills. He established a temple for Xiaowu and collected the spirit of a three-servant hero. He issued an edict to punish himself. He married the Huo family and demoted Xu Jieyu, and appointed the eldest son of the emperor as King Yuzhang. Before he knew it, the young ranger who was still cheerful in the past had begun to play with the technique of facing the emperor.

In Yang Yun's opinion, there is already a shadow of Emperor Xiaowen today.

And instigating the Huo family to have conflicts with Ren Hong, or is it a part of his plan to seize power and take power and rule?

But Yang Yun didn't know that at least half of the above were the ideas given to Liu Xun in Ren Hong's treasure bag. The general was getting older and older, and he was rich in spring and autumn. Time stood on Liu Xun's side. Now he only needs to adhere to one word to win:

"Go!"

What's more, although Ren Hong has made military achievements, he has no foundation in the court, while Huo family controls Jingzhao and Weiyang in Chang'an. How could he throw his biggest ace out to sacrifice before the war begins? What is this fighting method?

Therefore, Ren Hong thought that this matter was not done by Liu Xun.

Then the two began to guess in turn.

"General of the Cheqi and Cavalry, Zhang Anshi, the Marquis of Fuping?" Yang Yun whispered. As the second in command of the court, it would be beneficial to him to sit down and see Huo Ren want to kill him?

Ren Hong shook his head. The script Zhang Anshi is now the easiest among all civil and military officials in the court. He is the Huo family in-laws, his brother Zhang He is Liu Xun's benefactor, and his son Zhang Pengzu is a attendant of Weiyang, and one of the people Liu Xun trusts the most.

So now the Zhang family only needs to adhere to Zhang Anshi's usual style of dealing with things, avoid making a name for themselves, and just lie down. No matter how upside down the road, his family can laugh to the end and do nothing, which is really enviable.

"Han Zeng, the Marquis of Long'er?" After guessing the third leader, although Han Zeng was promoted by Huo Guang, he was very self-aware and respected the emperor very much. Obviously, he threw the hatred of his father aside. Liu Xun had long since set up a temple for Xiaowu to give Prince Wei a bad posthumous title, indicating that he would not overturn the verdict for witchcraft, and Han Zeng did not need to take such a risk.

The people who followed, such as the third-in-commander Zhao Chongguo, and Tian Guangming, who was frustrated after being blamed for the earthquake, all skipped them one by one.

"It can't be a vassal state, right?" Yang Yun was also annoyed and said casually: "Didn't Su Tongguo return from the Huns? Perhaps he was a traitor sent by the Great Shanyu and Li Ling, in order to spread rumors and cause civil strife in the Han Dynasty."

This idea was too big. Ren Hong ignored Yang Yun and only speculated on the original intention of the rumor-producing the rumor. In addition to the spies who hoped for civil strife in the Han Dynasty, the most likely one was to have a grudge against the Huo family or had a quarrel with him.

But the general was ruthless, and the Huo family's enemies were basically killed. Only Princess Gai and her lover Ding Wairen's son were still alive, but had been exiled to Juyan. The sons of the King of Yan were either driven to be the King of Minyue like the eldest son, and the rest were re-appointed Prince Marquis. It was difficult for them to travel to Chang'an in time to spread rumors.

As for himself? Ren Hong thought he had always been kind to others, and there were not many enemies. Anle's body had been decayed, and Liu He had no chance of turning around in Shujun hotpot...

At this time, Yang Yun thought of a possibility.

"This incident happened in the capital, but it was widely circulated in Tianshui and Longxi. Could it be Xin?"

He didn't finish his words, but Ren Hong knew who Yang Yun was referring to, of course it was not Xin Qingji, but his father Xin Wuxian, uncle Xin Tang and others! When Yuan Ting went west to fight, Xin Tang wanted to kill Wu Zongnian and took his merits for himself. After being rescued by Wen Zhong, Xin was punished. Later, Xin Wuxian clashed with Yang Yun again, and even the Marquis of Guannei was not even accomplice.

Ren Hong rolled his eyes: "Xin and Ziyou do have a grudge, what do you have to do with me?"

Yang Yun smiled and said, "From the emperor to the common people, everyone in the court and the country knows that I am a king and a marquis."

Bah, Bah, disgusting.

Ren Hong tasted the wine he brought back from the Western Regions: "Do you have any evidence?"

"No." Yang Yun also speculated: "The General has ordered the Censor's Office and the Court Commander to investigate thoroughly, but in the end it may be left alone."

After all, spreading rumors is a mouth, refuting them and spreading the rumors quickly. After a few months, it is extremely difficult to find a rumor-monger. You can only guess me and I guess you, and finally become Rashomon.

"It's hard to investigate." Ren Hong smiled and said, "But for the general, the truth is not important."

“The result is the most important!”

...

In mid-November, news of Ren Hong's arrival in the North Palace of Chang'an reached Weiyang Palace.

"There are many people who have won the title every year, but it is still not the same as being a marquis of Wanhu. You have to be more serious."

After hearing the Huangmen Honggong report that the Yifenggong in the front hall was ready, Liu Xun asked him: "Honggong, do you know how many marquises of the Great Han Dynasty have in total?"

Honggong was from Pei County. When he was young, he was punished by law because his family was involved in witchcraft disasters. He was also sentenced to castration and sent to the palace to be a small eunuch. Because he worked in Shiqu Pavilion, he learned grammar and was good at asking for advice. He became a Zhonghuangmen and was often ordered by Liu Xun.

Therefore, Honggong was still clear about the allusions of the country and bowed: "I followed Taichang a few days ago, and the Great Honglu read the chronological ceremony of the heroes, so I knew that the time of Emperor Gao was the two marquis of Wanhu."

"One of them is the Marquis of Yi (Cao Shen), who was from Zhongjuan to Pei, and went to Ba Shang, and the Marquis. He joined the Han Dynasty, and the left prime minister went to the expedition of Qi, Wei, and the right prime minister was the Marquis of Pingyang, with 600 households."

"The second is the Marquis of Liu Wencheng (Zhang Liang). He was the general of the stable to start Xia Pi and Han Shen's disciples to Han. He said that the Qin king was afraid that he would surrender, so he removed the emperor and Xiang Yu from the throne. He asked Emperor Gao to ask for Hanzhong land, and always planned to pacify the world. The Marquis of the Marquis. Emperor Gao asked him to choose 30,000 households and rejected them, so he enfeoffed them to Liu, and the town was 10,000 households."

Then it disappeared. Even Xiao He, who was deliberately ranked first by Liu Bang, had only gained his name because he had not worked hard and had not yet obtained it. He was originally named the Marquis of Hei and had a fief of 8,000 households.

Han Xin was a prince at the beginning, and was one level higher than the marquis, so he was not among the ten thousand households.

Zhou Bo was the 8,000 Marquis of Jiang in the Emperor's reign of Emperor Gaozu, and later he was granted more and more titles to 10,000 Marquis of the Lu family. Later, Zhou Yafu succeeded as Marquis of Tiao, but that was already the matter of the Xiaowen Dynasty.

"There were three marquises in the ten thousand households during Xiaowu."

Honggong continued: "General Changping Hou Fanqi attacked the Xiongnu and killed more than 50,000 heads and captives. One fought with Shanyu, captured Henan territory, and established Shuofang County. Then he was enfeoffed, with 6,300 households."

"Hou Fanliu, the champion of the cavalry general, attacked the Huns, and four of them were generals, beheading and captive more than 110,000. King Hunxie surrendered tens of thousands of people to open the land of Jiuquan in Hexi, and the West had few Hu enemies. The four were sealed, with 7,700 households."

Wait, among a group of real heroes, it seems that a strange guy has even scrambled into it.

"The Hunxie, the Hunnu, surrendered 100,000 marquis and enthroned 10,000 households."

This King Hunxie was deliberately used by Emperor Wu of Han to market horse bones with a thousand gold coins, but it still has to be counted.

"After Your Majesty ascended the throne, there are two marquises in Wanhu."

"The great general Boling Hou made his contributions with his sect, which was more than the Marquis of Jiang, and he added 17,000 households. Adding to the previous three thousand households, 20,000 households."

"The General of the Cheqi and Cavalry, the Marquis of Fuping, made a contribution to the establishment of the charity, is comparable to Qu Ni, and he was granted ten thousand households."

After counting this, Ren Hong was the ninth Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses in the more than 130 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty!

However, among the 30,000 households in the world, only the Marquis of Xi'an was actually fought through military achievements.

Honggong knew that the emperor was close to the Marquis of Xi'an, so he smiled and said, "The Marquis of Xi'an was lost and was in the Western Regions when they were deposed and were far away from the Western Regions, and he failed to catch up with the decision-making achievements."

Liu Xun did not answer, and remembered the notes of the swallowed treasure. Only he knew: "Although the Majesty of Xi'an has no name for a certain plan, he has made great contributions to my peace and stability."

"Emperor Gao has three heroes, even a million troops, and he will win the battle and win the attack. This is for Han Xin. He is planning and winning thousands of miles away. Zhang Liang is there."

"The Xi'an Marquis is both civil and military, although only one person, but he has the talents of two heroes. If I can use it well, it will be enough to stabilize the world and revive the Han Dynasty."

Liu Xun didn't know that Ren Hong wanted to do "Xiao He of the Han Dynasty" when he came back this time and did the work of pacifying the country and developing the economy. In the future, wouldn't it be wonderful that the Marquis of Xi'an be the three heroes?

At this time, I heard a crisp golden sound from the Xuanwu Gate of the North Palace of Weiyang Palace.

Liu Xun stood up, straightened his crown and laughed:

"When hearing the sound of gold, the general is back, it is my Marquis of Xi'an who is back!"
