Chapter 202: Impeachment of Huo Guang

The long-pending position of prime minister and imperial envoy doctor is vacant, which makes the officialdom of the entire Chang'an City seem a little busy, but this busyness is in secret. ☆ Tomato ○△ Novel Network -.The most promising candidates for these two positions today are a few old ministers who are idle at home, and several senior ministers who are currently among the nine secretaries.

For the position of the third duke, even if the old minister is idle at home, no one can not be moved. It is impossible to know how many means these people have used to go through many ways, but every time there is a big court meeting, there are always countless pairs of eyes staring at Weiyang Palace, which can be described as looking forward to it, waiting for Emperor Wu of Han to make a final decision.

It's the first big court meeting at the beginning of each month, and everyone in Chang'an City who is qualified to enter the Xuanshu Hall is here today. Because the more time passes, the more likely it is that the appointment of the prime minister and the imperial doctor will be announced, and everyone wants to know about it at the first time, and even more so to participate in it.

Everything started as usual at the meeting, Huo Guang sat firmly in the second seat on the left, and his slightly closed eyes made people feel that they had fallen asleep. Some things that are not big or small are reported by officials of various ministries in an orderly manner, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty makes orders from time to time.

"If you have nothing to do, retreat!" Seeing that most of the time had passed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still did not have the mind to appoint the prime minister and the imperial historian, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were a little disappointed and ready to send off the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the Xuan Room Hall at the end of the seat on the right.

Out of the list is the imperial history of a royal history platform, this person is almost sixty years old, is an upright old imperial history, but because he is too upright, he has no friends and backers in the court, and he is still the last imperial history in the imperial history platform.

"Speak" Emperor Wu of Han's body, which had already risen slightly, sat back again, and just said a word lightly.

The old imperial historian stood in the middle, straightened up, and then bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, bowed down and said in a deep voice: "The minister wants to impeach the great general Sima Pingnan and the Marquis Huoguang of Anyang." ”

Huo Guang, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and the other courtiers were nervous and turned their eyes on Huo Guang. The atmosphere of the entire Xuanshu Hall solidified at once, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty announced the candidates for prime minister and imperial historian, I am afraid that it would not bring such a big impact to the courtiers.

Accidents, only accidents, no one could have thought that someone would impeach Huo Guang at this time.

Emperor Wu of Han was also slightly stunned, and said after a while: "Impeachment what?" ”

This is not only the question of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also the question of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Old Yushi bowed again, and said unhurriedly: "When the Marquis of Anyang went out to fight in South Vietnam, he took a woman with him in the army. Moreover, this woman not only lives in the military camp, but Anyang Hou even let her participate in the secret, and even this woman often handles military Chinese books on behalf of Anyang Hou. What's more, after the destruction of the South Vietnamese country, after the nine southeastern counties, when the county guards had not yet arrived, the military and political affairs of the nine southeastern counties were all converged in General Pingnan's line, and the decrees of the nine southeastern counties were all from the hands of this woman. For half a year, the top decision-maker of the nine southeastern counties was actually a woman........ "The voice of the old imperial history became more and more urgent, and in the end, it was a little sad and indignant.

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Wu of Han's voice was a little low. Because of the chaos of the Western Han Dynasty, although the status of women in this era was not too low, it was very resistant to women's participation in government affairs. In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the strength of the Empress Dowager Dou at the beginning of his succession, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also quite disgusted with women's participation in politics.

"What the minister said is true, where is the prestige of the Marquis of Anyang who has put me in such a way? If the people of the world know that all the affairs of the nine southeastern counties are from the hands of one woman, how will the people of the world view the imperial court? Please ask Your Majesty to severely punish the Marquis of Anyang. Old Yu Shibai fell to the ground, looking indignant, and his words were full of grief and indignation!

"Anyang Hou, are these true?" Emperor Wu of Han leaned forward slightly and asked Huo Guang.

The entire Xuanshu Hall was silent, and only eyes stared at Huo Guang. At this time, most people have not yet reacted, whether it is the subordinates of Huo Guang's family or the courtiers who do not deal with Huo Guang, no one has come out to help Huo Guang exonerate, and no one has come out to fall into the well for the time being.

At this time, everyone, including Emperor Wu of Han, was waiting for Huo Guang to speak, only to see Huo Guang slowly get up, straighten his robe, and then take a few steps to stand in the center of the hall, bowing to Emperor Wu of Han.

Huo Guang slowly opened his mouth and said calmly: "The minister of this imperial history does not deny that the minister did take her sister Huo Tang with her during the southern expedition, and some simple documents were indeed handled by her for me, as for saying that all the affairs of the nine counties in the southeast are from the hands of Sister Tang, it is a bit exaggerated." ”

Huo Guang said indifferently, and didn't seem to think that this was such a great thing. However, his answer basically admitted the impeachment content of the imperial history, and at this time, everyone in the court could no longer sit still and began to talk.

Some people are curious about who Huo Tang is, and he can let Huo Guang march and fight with him. And more people angrily accused Huo Guang of being unorthodox, it is strictly forbidden to carry women in the army, and he, as the commander-in-chief, openly took the lead in violating Yunyun.

"Yu Shi Zhongcheng, what should I do if this crime is true?" Emperor Wu of Han's voice became even lower, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

Du Zhou hurriedly stood up, walked out of his seat and said with some hesitation: "If the crime is true...... According to the law...... According to the law, Anyang Hou's sister should be beheaded, and ...... In addition, the Marquis of Anyang should be deprived of his official position, and his title should be reduced to a concubine. ”

As soon as the words fell, the discussion in the court was even better, some people felt that Huo Guang should not be punished so severely although he was guilty, and some people thought that since the law was determined, it should be implemented according to the law. Huo Guang still stood in place, bowing slightly, as if he had turned a deaf ear to the civil and military discussions of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Quiet ......" Seeing that some courtiers were already red-faced, Su Wen shouted at the top of his voice.

The courtiers fell silent one after another, and then looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on the high throne. Huo Guang's crime is really big or small, big enough to make Huo Guang change from a powerful minister of the Han Dynasty to a concubine, if it is small, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has no intention of pursuing it, a reprimand will be exposed.

"Anyang Hou, what do you have to say?" Emperor Wu of Han's voice didn't seem to be as deep as it had been.

I saw Huo Guang's robe lifted, and then knelt down on his knees, and bowed to him: "The ministers are not strict, which makes the sister willful, and the ministers are guilty of negligence, but please remember that the little sister is young and ignorant, and forgive her sins." All those responsible are willing to bear the responsibility. ”

Huo Guang directly pleaded guilty, but he only admitted the crime of direct and carelessness, but he was willing to bear the punishment of Huo Tang.

"Your Majesty, don't ......." Just when Huo Guang confessed his guilt and everyone was waiting for Emperor Wu of Han to make the final conclusion, Sang Hongyang actually came out of the crowd at this time, and said to Emperor Wu of Han with a panicked look.

Sang Hongyang's sudden move made Huo Guang, who was originally calm, frown. Then I heard Sang Hongyang's voice and continued: "The Hou of Anyang Nanzheng is famous all over the world, and now his prestige is in full swing. Moreover, the nine southeastern counties only know that there is the Marquis of Anyang but do not know that there is a court, if the Marquis of Anyang is condemned now, I am afraid that the nine southeastern counties will be unstable. And the Marquis of Anyang has returned from a great victory, and now there are tens of thousands of elite troops stationed in Shanglin Yuan, please think twice! ”

"Sang Hongyang......." As soon as Sang Hongyang's voice fell, before everyone could react, Huo Guang suddenly got up and stood up, and then turned around and shouted at Sang Hongyang.

Huo Guang glared at Sang Hongyang angrily, ignoring the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and directly opened his mouth to scold: "Sang Hongyang, you despicable villain, every word is a heart-wrenching word, in a vain attempt to provoke peace between the general and His Majesty's monarchs and ministers. What is your heart? ”

As soon as the four words He Juxin came out, Huo Guang raised his hand and stretched out his finger, and pointed into a sword and pointed directly at Sang Hongyang. In an instant, the momentum on Huo Guang's body soared, and an invisible murderous aura rushed straight to Sang Hongyang, Huo Guang suddenly pointed at it, and he was so frightened that Sang Hongyang took half a step back and almost stood unsteadily. Huo Guang has been low-key since returning to the dynasty, and everyone gradually forgot his record of slaughtering millions of people in South Vietnam and destroying the Three Kingdoms and sweeping the entire Southern Regions.

"What a majestic General Pingnan, this official is one of the nine kings of the Han Dynasty, if you have a sword in your hand now, do you want to behead this official to this palace? Do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes, and is there any Han court? Sang Hongyang is also worthy of being Huo Guang's fateful opponent, but he was overwhelmed by Huo Guang's momentum for a moment and then returned to normal, and even used the topic to play to make Huo Guang's arrogant and domineering hat solid.

"Hmph, it's just a little human ear with a battle of tongues, this general ........" Huo Guang flicked his sleeves, and was about to make a disdainful appearance of arguing with Sang Hongyang, but before he finished speaking, he heard the majestic and angry voice of Emperor Wu of Han resounding in the entire hall.

"Have you two had enough trouble?"

Emperor Wu of Han's voice was not loud, but the entire hall was filled with a majestic and majestic atmosphere, and the anger in his tone made Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang have to lower their heads, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The minister is guilty......"

This time, not only Huo Guang bowed his head and confessed, but even Sang Hongyang followed suit.

"One of you is the general of Pingnan who has made great achievements, and the other is one of the great agricultural orders of the Nine Qings, both of whom are the ministers of the humerus of the Han Dynasty, but they are like the women of the city, if it is not in this hall, do you still want to fight?" Emperor Wu of Han stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Huo Guang and Sang Hongyang and scolded angrily.

The entire Xuanshu Hall echoed with the voice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to come out with their heads down. No one thought that today's dynasty would be so ups and downs, first the prestige of the Pingnan general Huo Guang was impeached, and then the big farmer Ling Sang Hongyang alluded to Huo Guanggong's high shock, the two of them were tense in this Xuanshu hall, and the last angry emperor stood up. A courtier with a good personality hated that his head didn't turn fast enough.

"The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" Huo Guang and Sang Hong sheep prostrate on the ground and said respectfully again.

The two bowed their heads again, and Emperor Wu of Han sat down slowly, not speaking for a long time, and seemed to be calming down. At this time, the Xuanshu Hall was even quieter and terrifying, because everyone knew that Emperor Wu of Han was about to make the final conclusion on Huo Guang's crime when he spoke again!
