After drinking the calming soup handed over by his wife, Gongsun Hong became much better in his mental state. After putting down the soup bowl, he asked, "Is there nothing wrong with the court?"

"Mr. Zhang is here."

"Oh? Please come in."

...

Zhang Tang had been waiting in the hall, and as soon as he notified, he rushed over.

Zhang Tang walked to Gongsun Hong, his eyes were a little wet, and he sighed, "His mentor's body improved?"

Gongsun Hong shook his head and said, "I took a lot of medicine from the imperial physician, but it just didn't work. It's just a matter of life. How many years will be left at most?"

"Your Majesty is very concerned about your teacher and sent the students to visit him, saying that he would come in person! Your Majesty should keep your body well so that your Majesty will not worry."

"It's shameful enough to not be able to share the worries of the country. How could you still dare to alarm the emperor? Alas! Forget it, what's the big deal in the court recently? I'm almost suffocating to death!"

"The general led his army to fight again. His nephew Huo Qubing received the glory of His Majesty, and he could even watch the battle from the side. It was so fond of him."

"It's the Emperor who is far-sighted!"

Gongsun Hong sighed, "Now is the year of young and strong competition, and the year of general galloping! If I remember correctly, Huo Qubing is only about thirteen years old, right?

However, this war is either you die or I live, and I can’t lose too badly. Such favor may not be a good thing."

"Hao Xian, the prefect of Shanggu, committed an incident. He heard that Jixiang and Jishi were found out that Hao Xian was suspected of committing fraud and concealing rent and taxes, and was ordered to be punished."

Gongsun Hong was surprised and said, "How is this happening? He has always been cautious in dealing with things and is not a silly word. Why..."

"The students were puzzled."

"Does the emperor understand?"

"There has not been reported yet, because Hao Xian is Wei Qing's favorite general, this case involves the relationship between China and North Korea and the foreign dynasty. Perhaps His Majesty will investigate the matter in depth.

According to the student's years of in charge of the prison, this person must have difficulties, and Your Majesty will also sell Wei Qing's face to make big things small, but if things will develop like this, please ask your mentor to give me some advice."

Gongsun Hong didn't know how to answer, this was indeed a very difficult question.

Although the assessment plan is the responsibility of the Prime Minister's Office, the status of the Central Korean Dynasty is far above that of the outside dynasty. Wei Qing smiled so much more prominently in the emperor's heart than the Prime Minister.

Gongsun Hong asked, "Well... Then Lord Li Cai, how did he think?"

"Is he? Although he acted as the prime minister to handle all matters in the office, when he encountered such a difficult situation, he had no idea and asked the students to find a teacher directly."

Gongsun Hong called him a slippery man in his heart, and even an old patient had to be brought out as a shield.

But he said, "Alas! He has gone on a war with Wei Qing many times, and he has the feelings of being in front of and behind the formation. He seems embarrassed to encounter such a thing."

His thoughts are very complicated now.

If he asked the emperor a few months ago that he was just lost because he was not selected as the Taifu, then the current situation of the court has changed so he had to seriously consider really retirement.

It's a bit sad to say that in this court where young people gather, people who are still prime ministers at an age are rare.

Putting aside anything else,

He is just an old peddler.

But what did he do in recent years? In the third year of Jianyuan (138 BC), he was already over 60 years old at that time. This was the first time he entered the officialdom as a doctorate. He was sent to the Huns at that time, but he returned to his death without success and almost lost his life.

The fifth year of Yuanguang (1 BC)

In 30 years), he was recommended as a virtuous person for the second time and was ordered to go to the Southwest Yi. Even he himself couldn't explain why in the eyes of Tang Meng and Sima Xiangru, a grand event that was beneficial to the court, became a matter of exhaustion in China?

Maybe I'm really tired...

That time, Gongsun Hong's words hit Liu Che, and he felt Liu Che's displeasure and anger, and felt uneasy for many days.

Fortunately, Liu Che's attention quickly shifted to the north, and he was glad to escape the disaster.

Life is a good teacher.

Gongsun Hong learned to endure grievances during his career, and also learned to hold on to white and guard against black.

An old man,

It's good to be able to do this.
