Chapter 302: King Liang Invades Korea
In the Xuanshu Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat on the royal steps, Liu Jin and Liu Xijun stood on both sides, and the attendants beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were standing far away. Zhang Anshi and Huo Yan were also present in the hall, but Sima Qian alone had a separate seat on the side under the imperial stairs, and a desk table was placed in front of the table, on which paper and pen had been laid.
Sima Qian took a deep breath, he tried his best to calm his mood, and stared down at the paper on the desk. He knew that this court meeting would read out many decrees that had never appeared in the past, first of all, the emperor's grandson's succession method appeared for the first time, and then the emperor issued an edict for his own crimes, as well as the reward for Huo Guang, etc., everything is enough to go down in history, as a historian, it is a great honor to be able to experience it and record it.
The officials above the thousand stones of Chang'an in the Xuanshu Hall have come, and such a grand court meeting has not appeared for more than half a year, but some people will never appear in the Xuanshu Palace, such as Prime Minister Liu Quyu.
"Yuanyou, you immediately take someone to the Yilan Palace, spread Your Majesty's will, and let the King of Changyi leave Chang'an immediately to go to the fiefdom to take the country, remember that you must leave Chang'an before dark. Arrange for your henchmen to escort you personally, and don't make any mistakes along the way. Huo Guang took Su Wu and the others to stride towards the Xuanshu Palace, and on the way he instructed Wang Jun to send Liu Ji away, perhaps he was afraid that Wang Jun would be wrong, and added a sentence not to make mistakes on the road.
"The subordinates understand that they must let the king of Changyi go to the country smoothly." Wang Jun bowed down and replied, his mind moved and he understood what Huo Guang meant. If you want to kill a king of Changyi, it is not easy at all, since Huo Guang still wants to let this Liu Ji go to the country, it means that there is no intention of killing him.
As for whether this will is really the emperor's intention or Huo Guang's own intention, no one cares!
Wang Jun led hundreds of soldiers to the Yilan Palace, and Huo Guang continued to walk towards the Xuanshu Palace. At this moment, the people in the Xuanshu Hall have arrived, but Huo Guang has not arrived, and everyone in the hall is still waiting quietly, this is also the first time that all the courtiers and emperors are waiting for the arrival of a courtier.
Seeing that the Xuanshu Hall was in front of him, Huo Guang straightened his robe as he walked, and his steps were a little faster. Looking at the majestic Xuanshu Palace, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, originally in history, Huo Guang should have been a cautious person, every step was meticulous enough to step on the same position, but now he doesn't have to care about those restraints.
The steps of the Xuanshu Hall are very high and long, and when they arrived here, those soldiers consciously stopped, replacing the original forbidden army and defending the Xuanshu Palace, but no one knew whether these soldiers were protecting the Xuanmu Hall or surrounding the Xuanshu Palace?
On the stone steps, Huo Guang was in front and Su Wu was behind, and the attendants standing on both sides lowered their heads and bowed slightly when they saw Huo Guang.
When Huo Guang climbed the stone steps of the Xuanshu Palace, which represented the center of the Han Dynasty's power, a bloody scene was also being staged in Chang'an City. The mansions were forcibly broken into by Huo Guang's personal guards, including officials with hundreds of stones, Chang'an officials with thousands of stones, and lieges with two thousand stones or even thousands of households.
"Kill them all, not a single one will be left!" Du Yannian stood outside Penghou's Mansion and ordered in a deep voice, this is the mansion of Zuo Prime Minister Liu Quyu, and it is also the top of the list on the side of the Qing monarch, in order not to make mistakes, Du Yannian came in person.
There is no need for detention and interrogation, and there is no need for any incriminating evidence, as Huo Guang walked up to the Xuanshu Hall step by step, the heads in Chang'an City also rolled down.
"Anyang Hou arrives at ......." The waiters standing on both sides of the Xuanshu Hall saw Huo Guang approaching, bowed their heads and saluted, and the voice announcing Huo Guang's arrival also sounded immediately, and the sound was not only outside the Xuanshu Palace, but also kept echoing in the hall.
Without any summons, and without a moment's pause, Huo Guang raised one foot and stepped directly over the high threshold of the Xuanshu Hall.
"Click...."A soft sound sounded in the silent Xuanshu Hall, Huo Guang walked step by step, every step seemed to step on the hearts of the courtiers, making the hearts of these courtiers on both sides of the kneeling seat can't help but tighten.
Today's Huo Guang has changed a lot from when he left Chang'an a few years ago, and now the aura of Jin Ge Iron Horse on him is extremely strong. Every step he walked through, in the eyes of everyone, it seemed that Huo Guang was not alone, but thousands of troops and horses rolling by.
"Anyang Hou is seated!" Huo Guang walked above all the courtiers, and the voice of Emperor Wu of Han came from above the imperial steps. Huo Guang didn't say anything, just bowed to Emperor Wu of Han, and then retreated to the side and sat in the position of the original prime minister. At his disposal is the current imperial historian Sang Hongyang.
"Today is restless, the people of Li are in difficulty, their sin is bowing, Zhang Anshi read out my edict of sin......" Huo Guang sat down and the voice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sounded again, there were no superfluous words, and there was no sign, he directly asked Zhang Anshi to read the edict of sin.
Zhang Anshi hurriedly got up and bowed forward, and the emperor's eldest grandson, Liu Jin, walked down from the imperial steps and handed Zhang Anshi the edict that had been stamped with the seal of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
As soon as they heard the three words of the edict, the courtiers in the palace couldn't sit still, and they all got up in fear and knelt down in front of Emperor Wu of Han. The emperor is guilty of being a courtier, and naturally he is also guilty, at this time, not only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a person, everyone should put on a correct posture, even Huo Guang knelt down and quietly listened to Zhang Anshi read out the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Fortunately, God blesses the Han, I have virtuous grandchildren, distinguish loyalty and traitors, and clear the king's side, so that the world is clear. I have made up my mind, and the emperor's eldest grandson Jin is the emperor's grandson, and the world is announced to the temple on the same day. After the edict, the voice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty followed closely after Zhang Anshi, and before the courtiers could react, he had already decided to appoint Liu Jin as the emperor's grandson.
For the first time in history, the new title of imperial succession appeared in history, about 400 years earlier than it originally appeared. For Liu Jin to obtain the legal right to inherit the throne, all the courtiers have long known in their hearts, and although this inheritance system of the eldest grandson of the emperor as the grandson has never existed, its ability is very in line with the patriarchal law and traditional understanding, even if it is announced to the world, it will not be questioned and contradicted.
"Your Majesty Shengming..... The ministers and others greeted His Royal Highness the Taisun...... "The neat voice of the courtiers sounded in the Xuanshu Palace, and the eldest grandson finally became the grandson!
"I have been ill for a long time, and I want to move to Changle Palace, and in the future, I will be supervised by my grandson. In addition, Huo Guang, the Marquis of Anyang, was appointed as the general of the Great Sima, assisted the Taisun to supervise the country, and gave him a sword to go to the palace to praise and worship the nameless. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty continued, and immediately transferred the rights after canonizing Liu Jin as the emperor's grandson, which was originally the meaning of the title.
After going around in a big circle, Huo Guang still became the great general of the Han Dynasty. And it is not surprising that Huo Guang was named the Great Sima General, everyone knows that from today onwards, the authority of this Han will be held by Huo Guang. And Huo Guang has also become the second courtier of the Han Dynasty to enjoy the honor of 'sword shoes on the temple to praise and worship the name' since the founding of the country, and the first is Xiao He, the first hero of the Han Dynasty.
"These wills were then announced to the world, and then the eunuch Taisun presided over the court meeting, and I was short of ....." Emperor Wu of Han got up directly after saying this, and then left the Xuanshu Hall with the support of several chamberlains.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally appeared and announced it in person, in fact, just to give Liu Jin a justification, and also to put an end to any gossip in the future, so that Liu Jin became the emperor's grandson, both legally rational and rational. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not appear, and only had an edict, it would be reasonable in legal theory, but it would inevitably be criticized in terms of rationality.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Liu Jin and the courtiers bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and watched him leave the Xuanshu Palace, this time leaving in the court, which also announced that the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had basically ended, although he still retained the emperor's honorific title, but in fact had handed over the authority in his hands.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left the Xuanshu Palace, and Liu Jin walked to the seat where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had just sat and sat in the place where his grandfather and father had sit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat." Liu Jin sat on it, looking like a king over the world, and he said to the courtiers in the hall, his voice revealing a majesty that he had never seen before.
The courtiers of the Xuanshu Hall all sat back in silence, waiting for the now titular supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty to call the shots.
"Now the Han Dynasty is in the midst of internal and external troubles, and he is lonely and has just taken charge of the government, and he still relies on the assistance of his ministers. I hope that all the public will work together to eliminate internal worries and external troubles as soon as possible. Liu Jin said again, but it was a routine exhortation.
"Obey the will of His Royal Highness the Taisun!" The Manchu Dynasty bowed down in response.
"Now that the foreign enemy is menacing, how does the general think to deal with it?" Liu Jin looked at Huo Guang, who was the leader, and asked, at this time, it was not a routine, but really started to talk about important matters.
Now Huo Guang is already the general of the Great Sima, and he was clearly designated as an auxiliary person by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Even if Liu Jin, the imperial grandson, made any decisions, he could not bypass Huo Guang in legal procedures.
And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also gave Huo Guangjian the honor of worshipping in the palace, which has a greater symbolic meaning. The sword shoes are easy to understand, and the praise is not named, which means that in the future, whether it is in official documents or ordinary titles, Huo Guang's name cannot be called directly, but can only be called his official position, or appear in the official document as 'General Guang'. If someone calls Huo Guang's name, it is a crime of disrespect, and disrespect is a serious crime!
"The Western Regions Rest Army is defended by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and it can be protected for the time being. There is an army of 180,000 troops stationed in the north of Yi'an, and there will be no problems for the time being. The most critical situation at the moment is Youzhou Guangcheng, which has been besieged by Weiyouqu for several months, and now the closest to Youzhou is the 100,000 troops of Liang and Zichuan, and the minister proposed to send an edict to the king of Liang and the prince of Zichuan, so that they can lead the army to reinforce Guangcheng. King Liang is known as a virtuous person, and he is a master of the art of war, so he can be the commander of King Liang to conquer the Korean Weiyou Canal. Huo Guang got up and replied.
Let the army of Liu Xiang, the king of Liang, and Liu Kang, the prince of Zichuan, go to Youzhou to deal with Weiyouqu, this one was actually thought about by Huo Guang from the beginning. And some well-intentioned people also found out that what Huo Guang said in the end was to use King Liang as the commander to conquer the North Korean Weiyouqu, not to resist the Weiyouqu, that is to say, Huo Guang also wanted Liu Xiang to directly fight to the territory of North Korea.
"Everything will be done according to the general's wishes, and the king of Liang and the crown prince of Zichuan will be ordered immediately, with the king of Liang as the commander, to conquer Korea." Liu Jin naturally made an order, and Huo Guang also told them in advance. Now King Liang's army should be in the area of Henan County, this place is not far from Chang'an, and it is exactly in a straight line to go to Youzhou, which is the best time to go to Youzhou.
"Does the general have any other arrangements?" Liu Jin is very respectful to Huo Guang, even though he is now the rightful prince of the Han Dynasty, but for this teacher, this general who personally sent him to the position of prince, he still has unreserved trust and dependence at present.
