The purpose of Huo Hai's sporting the arena was to attract all the talents in Luoyang City, especially those grassroots classes who currently have low positions and want to climb up.

After all, there is no need for those who are in high positions to come to a competition.

For example, Zhang Yang and Wu Kuang are both at the level of miscellaneous generals. When they are promoted to another level, they are all at the same level as Huo Hai. If they go to Huo Hai's subordinates, they are not a big deal.

There are also people like Han Meng, Huo Hai wondered if this guy came here to find an opportunity to kill him.

"Huo Ping cannot buy bones for a thousand gold coins, and his goal is very big!" In the crowd, I don't know who said this, which immediately made He Xian and others frown.

His father He Jin is the supreme leader of the warriors. Shouldn’t the warriors in the world seek food under his father’s hands?

Huo Hai has a good relationship with the Ten Changshi, and now he is bribing the warriors. What does this mean?

Could it be that the Ten Eunuchs wanted to confront the General's Mansion in terms of force, or the emperor had the idea of ​​He Jin taking charge of military power alone and was preparing to find a breakthrough?

Ignoring their inner activities, after Huo Hai fought, he handed the ring to Zhao Yun and Chu Yan. He returned to the barracks and took off his armor. While taking a bath, he recalled the battle just now and absorbed his experience.

In fact, the so-called absorption of experience is just a process in which he recognizes himself.

After this battle, he deeply realized that he was not a talented player and needed more effort. If so many people had not helped collect cultivation materials and helped him get the blood of the Xuanwu Giant Turtle, he could not even beat a second-rate guy like Cai Yang.

After dressing neatly, Huo Hai only took Guo Tu and Guan Hai to Zhang Rang's mansion together. There was no way. Tian Feng, who couldn't stand the eunuch, was afraid that he would be unable to help but strangle him to death when he saw Zhang Rang.

In Huo Hai's opinion, Zhang Rang is actually not bad except for being greedy. The reason why the children of the gentry hated him so much was because Liu Hong assigned him to do some dirty things during the Party and Prison disaster a few years ago.

In addition, Zhang Rang must be one of the top smart people of this period. Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight with so many talents from the gentry for so long and eventually kill He Jin.

So, where can Huo Hai be high-profile in He Jin? He still has to keep a little bit behind Zhang Rang. After all, he still has to count on him to kill He Jin, and then kick off the prelude of the princes fighting for hegemony and make himself change his new world!

Huo Hai went to Zhang Rang's mansion with great fanfare, which was definitely a big news for Luoyang City tomorrow. However, he was not nervous at all. When he arrived in front of the mansion, Huo Hai realized that this guy's pomp was not smaller than He Jin at all. After all, he was the one who was on the list.

Moreover, during the explanation of Guo Tu along the road, Huo Hai realized that Zhang Rang's son, Zhang Feng, who was betting at the opening of the school, was actually He Jin's other sister.

No wonder when He Jin threatened to kill Zhang Rang later, Zhang Rang went to ask Empress He, and Empress He would come forward to protect him. In addition to Zhang Rang who helped Empress He in the matter of Empress Reincarnation, this marriage relationship is also there.

It seems that Zhang Rang is planning early to make his position more stable, and he is Zhang Rang's third move, foreign army.

After entering the living room of Zhang's mansion, a maid had already cooked wine for Huo Hai, and Zhang Rang did not ask Huo Hai to wait for a long time. When he came in, he was accompanied by Zhang Gong, Bi Lan, Han Ju, Duan Gui, Gao Wang and other five people.

OK! Six of the Ten Changshi came at once, and the specification was extremely high, because the other four either had a grudge against Huo Hai, or were in a competitive relationship with Zhang Rang, or were on duty in the palace now.

Huo Hai originally wanted to get up to say hello to them, but Zhang Rang reached out to him to sit down, "We are not polite," he said.

After Huo Hai sat down again, Zhang Rang, who was kneeling down in the main seat, began to look at Huo Hailai in a glance.

"I didn't expect that Zhang Jiao finally chose you, but you are indeed stronger than him." Zhang Rang nodded with satisfaction after looking at it for a while.

"His servant Zhang and General Tiangong have any friends?" Huo Hai said unexpectedly.

"To be honest, the Taiping Sect I originally wanted to attract foreign aid was the Taiping Sect. Unfortunately, the matter was exposed, so I pushed Feng Feng and Xu Feng came out to be a scapegoat." Zhang Rang said with a smile.

Although he was very kind, Huo Hai always felt that it had a deep smell.

Huo Hai heard about the Taiping Sect and the Ten Changshi collusion, but he did not expect that the person behind the scenes was Zhang Rang, which means that the butt of the Ten Changshi was not clean.

However, Huo Hai can understand it after all, his relatives and court officials wanted to kill them. If they wanted to live, they had to rely on external forces. Judging from the situation a few years ago, the only external force in the world, the Taiping Cult may be able to protect their lives at critical moments, so the Ten Eunuchs had no choice.

After understanding this, Huo Hai knew why Zhang Gong easily offered such generous conditions for himself when he went to Heishan.

It turns out that the Ten Changshou asked for more places than they asked for them, so! Huo Hai felt even more confident about how to talk about things next.

"Turn the Taiping Sect as a foreign aid can only solve your temporary crisis, but it cannot protect you for a long time. But I am different. Now, I am the General of the Court's General of the Punishment." Huo Hai said directly as Zhang Rang's words.

"You are right, so we put all our hopes on you now. You can tell us any demands you have when you come to Luoyang this time. We should cooperate with each other and support each other. We will not be able to discipline He Jin and those party members." Zhang Rang did not turn around.

"I want the position of Prime Minister of Zhongshan and the position of General Anbei." Huo Hai said bluntly.

"It should not be difficult for us to give some money, grain and treasures to make Your Majesty happy, but at this time, Your Majesty will not place an external general shogunate, and He Jin would never agree." Zhang Rang said with a difficult face.

Four expeditions, four towns and four annexes, were the orthodox generals of the imperial court. Although they were only one level higher than Huo Hai's current General of the Central Army, they had the power to open government offices, set up staff, recruit soldiers, and appoint military officers in the local area.

It’s not that Huo Hai did not do these things without the title of general. The main reason is that he only wanted to work legitimately after he had this legitimate official position. The so-called work means to use talents from the existing system of the court.

For example, today, although Cai Yang was just a Qujun in the Imperial Army, with a rank of 300 stones, he had no rank of ranks when he resigned to Heishan Village.

Because Huo Hai's current position as a general is just a military general with a rank of two thousand stones, and he does not have the power to open a government office to appoint subordinate officials.

If Huo Hai added General Anbei, he would be a real 2,000-stone official and the Supreme Minister of the court. In this way, Cai Yang could go to General Anbei's office to serve as a 600-stone captain, or a 1,000-stone army squad. The rank of the court was still there and would not affect his subsequent promotion.

This benefit can instantly defeat his final hesitation and go to Huo Hai's bowl.

"If I have a way to convince the emperor, can you withstand the pressure from He Jin?" Huo Hai said.

"You have a way to convince the emperor?" Zhang Rang said in surprise.

"A good fortune has emerged from the north, and His Majesty needs to set up a general to guard it." Huo Hai said with a smile.

"Xiangrui? It has something to do with the treasure you brought to Luoyang?" Zhang Rang said in surprise.

Huo Hai nodded with a smile.

After Zhang Rang was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Even so, it's not necessary for you. He Jin will send other generals under him to come. All the ministers and ministers in the court must support him in this matter, not support you. Your Majesty will not be able to fight against everyone."

"If you can make a statement before Your Majesty, and say that all the troops in the world are all under the hands of Hejin, what will be bad for the country?" Huo Hai said again.

"This..." Zhang Rang's eyes lit up when Huo Hai said this, but he didn't dare to draw a conclusion that he could do it himself, so he began to communicate with the other people with his eyes.

"Do you know why I was so high-profile after I arrived in Luoyang? I didn't give He Jin any face?" Huo Hai said again at this time.

“Why?”

"Because I want the emperor to see that although I am subject to He Jin's restraint, I am not on the same path with him, and I have the strength to fight against him.

You said, if there are no people like me, will the court be surnamed Liu or He a hundred years later?"

Zhang Rang and others were shocked when Huo Hai said this, and their eyes became very afraid when they looked at Huo Hai.

Unexpectedly, this person was not at the center, but he knew everything about the court. What's even more amazing is that he knew Liu Hong's current concerns.

The power of relatives and literati and officials in the court has become increasingly greater and more powerful, and they have long stopped taking the imperial power seriously. This is what Liu Hong is most worried about.

To put it bluntly, the eunuchs do dirty work for the emperor, which may solve some small problems and make the emperor live a more comfortable life, but they cannot solve the fundamental problems.

If we support a force other than foreign relatives and scholars and officials to check and balance them, would it be better?

After all, since accepting the court's envoy, Huo Hai has been quite submissive. He has not asked the court for money and food, nor has he caused trouble for the court. Moreover, he has also sent good things to Luoyang to pay tribute every now and then, which is much more serious than those foreign ministers in those places.

"Maybe, I can try it out." Zhang Rang finally concluded.

"Then I'll take action, I'll do it." Huo Hai smiled.

"We will act according to the opportunity in the palace, but there is another matter, I will explain it to you." Zhang Rang said.

"Speaking."

"Sun Changshi's nephew, you are killed by someone from Heishan Village! He is determined to take revenge on you now, and he may do something out of the ordinary. We have advised him, but it is useless. You have to deal with it carefully. If you have the chance, we will find a way to help you get rid of him."

"Sun Zhang? Thank you for your reminder." Huo Hai thought of such a thing and intervened to thank him.

That guy was killed by Chu Yan. Huo Hai had concealed it very well before. Now, Sun Zhang must have noticed the truth, and Zhang Rang said he would help him get rid of him. In other words, his opinion was contrary to Zhang Rang's, and his butt was already crooked.

I just don’t know if he will tell He Jin about Zhang Rang’s persuading Liu Hong to reduce He Jin’s military power. If he sues it, it would be great.
