Chapter 12: A New Beginning

In the early hours of the morning, Huo Guang was in front of the bronze mirror, and the maids dressed neatly. Huo Shan in the distance served carefully, and saw Huo Shan's uneasy expression in the bronze mirror, Huo Guang sighed helplessly and turned around and said: The young man should be like an autumn cicada hanging on a tree, singing to the sky, and his voice is unremitting, how can he be so sad?

Huo Shan looked at the man in front of him, he was still as immobile as a mountain. Even when the dust settles today, Zhang Anshi and Fan Mingyou have already come to report that the various important armaments in Chang'an are under control. Prime Minister Yang Yi, the servant Du Yannian, the Dasi Farmland Yannian, and the general Shi Bingji led hundreds of officials to gather in the hall. Last night, under the coercion of the prime minister, under the coercion of Du Yannian, hundreds of officials signed their names one by one. only waited for his uncle and grandfather to enter the palace to obtain the edict of the empress dowager and depose Liu He. Before dawn, he personally went to Yangping Jun's mansion and saw Yangping Jun Liu was ill. It is only said that last night there was a small rebellion, most of them were arrested and brought to justice, and only the remnants fled to Shangguanli, so the general ordered Er and others to protect the nobles of the clan, and Yang Pingjun must not panic. After that, he rushed back to the General's Mansion to prepare to protect his uncle into the palace.

Huo Shan lowered his head and said: The intelligence of the mountain is not half as good as that of adults. Isn't my uncle panicking now? Nervous? , why panic. Success depends on the time, place, and people. But relying too much on these external factors is not beautiful. You need to think carefully before doing things, you can win over those people, you need to divide those people, and most importantly, you need to defeat those people. If you think about it, you will know how much you are sure, and once you have three layers of certainty, you need to be bold. If you pick it up, you can naturally put it down. The thing is bad because of the hesitation, seeing that Xiaoli is dying, doing big things and sparing his life, and achieving nothing, Huo Guang looked at Huo Shan seriously and said. After saying that, he straightened his hat and walked out.

Outside the hall, Huo Yu and Huo Yun were waiting, and when they saw Huo Guang, Huo Shan immediately saluted each other and joined Huo Guang's team to move forward together. When he came to the hall, Huo Guang bowed down to the ministers and said: Today's son is not virtuous, favors traitors, listens to the words of villains, does not respect ancestors, and is not filial to the queen mother. It is tolerable or unbearable, the light is forced to be helpless, and the merit of the ancestors, the virtue of Wenjing, and the spirit of the first emperor of filial piety are destroyed in one fell swoop. Two or three sons, followed me into the palace to give the queen mother to stir up chaos and oppose the government. After saying that, he got up and walked out the door.

Soon after, the carriage of the ministers was on the royal road, forming a huge long dragon.

The creaking wheels of the carriage woke up many Chang'an people.

Countless people in Lu were crowded in the floodgates, overlooking this long dragon from afar.

You Su Lao looked at such a huge carriage and couldn't help but praise: "I think back then, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States melee battle, if you can have five hundred times, you can dominate the party." Today, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the hundred officials in the court is a thousand times dispatched.

At this time, Fan Minh You was already standing at the head of Beique City. Plates of bonfires lit up the world under the entire city tower. Looking at the carriages slowly driving along the road into the towers. Pham Minh You even saw the sword and sword shadows and the iron horse Jingo, which was as dangerous and exciting as any bloody battle. Because whether it is a war or a political game, in the end, a conclusion must be given. No matter what this conclusion ultimately is, there will always be people whose interests will be damaged, there will always be people who will be overshadowed, and there will always be winners and losers.

The victor takes it all, the loser dies, and even the name does not exist in this world. Success or defeat is not only war, but also everything.

The morning sun is rising, and on the square before the north gate, there are guards standing around this square. The bright swords, guns, swords, halberds, the flickering cold light, and the bright armor set off the majesty of these elites in a hundred battles. Today's Han guards and palace guards are synonymous with elite and invincible. The palace guards led by Fan Mingyou protected Huo Guang and led the ministers, the three elders of Guanzhong, and the doctor to walk on the passage to Changle Palace, silent along the way, and everyone was coerced into this chaos. However, everyone understands that as long as Huo Guang gets the edict of the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven will never be able to turn over. And now the Son of Heaven knows whether this storm is still unknown, otherwise there would have been a will to send troops to protect it.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan sat on the Changxin Palace, and the eunuch of the Changle Palace ordered Huang Xie to stand on the left side. The remnants of the Shangguan clan were also in the hall, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan looked at the young man kneeling in the hall and shook her head helplessly. Grandfather Shangguan Ji, when Emperor Wu was critically ill and dying, Shangguan Ji served as the left general, and the great Sima general Huo Guang, the chariot general Zhang Anshi, the imperial historian Sang Hongyang and others became one of the ministers of Tuogu, and jointly assisted the first emperor Liu Fuling, and was named the Marquis of Anyang. At that time, the Shangguan family was in full swing, and her grandfather was running for her position as queen. Spent a lot of money to contact the eldest princess of Hubei and the male favorite Ding outsider, and became enemies with her grandfather Huo Guang. Later, due to the rebellion of Liu Dan, the king of Yan, after the matter was revealed, the king of Yan and Princess Gai committed suicide. The Shangguan family and the Sang family were all wiped out. Because she was young, she did not participate in this rebellion, and she was the granddaughter of the general, so she was not abolished. The first emperor took pity on his young child, and handed over the still young child to him to raise, and was not demoted to the rank of Chengdan. He handed over the Shangguan family to the general to raise on his behalf, although he was an adult, most of them were not able to use only Yi, but fortunately, the Shangguan family in Shangtai in Longxi still has children who have survived to this day. After a hundred years, he will be worthy of the ancestors of the Shangguan clan, and his grandfather and father will be saved from the tragedy of covering his face with his hair.

Now, the moment that decides the fate of Shangguan and Liu falls on his immature shoulders. The Empress Dowager Shangguan thought that when the first emperor was dying, she took her hand and asked herself to ensure that the Liu family was not lost. So I guessed that Liu He endured in every possible way, just to fulfill her husband's last entrustment to herself.

Note: Shangguan Ji (140 BC-80 BC), the word young uncle, was a native of Shangtai (now Tianshui City, Gansu) in Longxi. A relative and minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and the grandfather of the Empress Shangguan of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

On February 12 of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (87 years ago), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was critically ill, Shangguan Ji was appointed as the general of the left, and Huo Guang, the general of the Great Sima, became members of the Tuogu team to assist Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty. And was named the Marquis of Anyang, after Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he had a good relationship with Huo Guang, when Huo Guang went out on vacation, Shangguan Ji handled government affairs for him, and then because Shangguan An, the son of Shangguan Ji, was punished, and the relationship with Huo Guang became incompatible with Huo Guang because of the failure of the male favorite of the eldest princess of Hubei and the outsider.

In September of the first year of Yuanfeng (80 BC), the joint imperial historian Sang Hongyang and Yan King Liu Dan planned to hold a banquet to murder Huo Guang, but they were defeated and killed.
