Chapter 300: The Edict and the Nickname
(Girls' Literature) "Not bad...... Over the years, you have followed Zhang Anshi, but it has not been in vain that Your Majesty has worked hard. Huo Guang suddenly raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop, he looked at Huo Yan and said, with a satisfied look on his face.
"Soon it will be dawn, in that case, let Your Majesty rest again!" Huo Guang looked up at the sky again and said inexplicably.
"Thank you uncle for your understanding." Huo Yan unsheathed the sword, and the tense atmosphere disappeared at once, and the two people faced each other in this way, only a few feet apart.
Zhang Anshi also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart when he saw everything in front of him, and then quickly turned around and turned back to the hall.
"Teacher, are we just waiting here? I'm afraid of changing things after a long time! Zhao Yinhua approached Huo Guang and whispered in his ear, seeing that they could succeed in this operation with one more step, but the person who was the most unlikely to stop them became the last obstacle.
"It's okay, Your Majesty will summon us soon. Later, I will take the emperor's eldest grandson and Sima to move in, and the rest of you are waiting outside. Huo Guang said indifferently, when he learned that Sang Hongyang had pacified the camp of the Northern Army, Huo Guang was not worried about the other forces in Chang'an City.
In the Qingliang Palace, Zhang Anshi approached Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and looked at the old man in front of him, who was already in a trance, this generation of male lords who had brought the empire to glory, he did not appear flustered because of the forced palace outside, but there was indeed a tiredness on the face of this old man that could not be concealed.
"Your Majesty, Fengche Duwei drew his sword to the Marquis of Anyang and the emperor's eldest grandson, and they said......." Zhang Anshi whispered to Emperor Wu of Han what happened outside.
"Oh? Then let me sleep again......" Emperor Wu of Han kept squinting, and after listening to Zhang Anshi's words, he only responded lightly, and then stopped moving. After a while, Zhang Anshi actually heard a slight snoring, but he hadn't seen the emperor sleep so soundly for a long time.
Outside the Qingliang Palace, there was a scene that had never been seen before, and a big drama of forcing the palace stopped at a place only one wall away from the emperor. Sima Qian looked at the scene in front of him, and kept thinking in his heart, what kind of mutiny is this? How should he write this situation into the annals of history?
The long, silent wait finally ended when the first light appeared on the horizon. The magnates of Chang'an City had not slept all night, they had already changed into costumes, and they were all waiting for the final result in their mansions. The road leading to the outside world of Weiyang Palace has been completely blocked, and the situation in the palace cannot be transmitted, but countless pairs of eyes are looking at Weiyang Palace from afar.
"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan'an Yang Hou Huo Guang will meet you!" The door of the Qingliang Hall slowly opened, and Zhang Anshi stood outside the hall and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Huo Guang raised his head and glanced at the Qingliang Palace, then untied the sword at his waist and handed it to Huo Qi beside him. When Zhang Anshi read out the will, Huo Yan also waved his hand and signaled the guards behind him to withdraw from the formation and get out of the way.
"Come with me in to see Your Majesty." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the only one in his will, but he still told Liu Jin and Sima Qian that he would take the two of them in.
Huo Guang took the two of them to the Qingliang Palace, but this time Huo Heng did not stop him because of two more people, when Huo Guang walked past Huo Heng, he also bowed to Huo Guang, Huo Guang did not stop, just nodded to him slightly.
In the Qingliang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already changed into a full costume, and his sparse and snow-white hair was also meticulously cared for. He was sitting upright on top of the collapse, with a few cushions behind him.
"Chen Huoguang greets Your Majesty." Stepping into the floor of the Qingliang Palace, Huo Guang bowed in the direction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from a distance, shouting as if he had seen Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the first time more than ten years ago.
However, unlike more than ten years ago, that time Huo Guang had been waiting for Emperor Wu of Han with his head down, but this time he just bowed down and continued to move forward.
"Anyang Hou is back?" While Huo Guang was walking, the voice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came from behind the curtains in the hall. The voice was still majestic, but it could no longer hide the atmosphere of old age and twilight.
Huo Guang continued to move forward, directly over the hanging curtain, and saw Emperor Wu of Han sitting on the soft couch, so he stopped, and then said flatly: "The minister is back?......"
"Grandson to grandfather." Liu Jin also followed behind Huo Guang, and when he crossed the curtain, he knelt down on his knees to Emperor Wu of Han and bowed to him. However, he did not call Emperor or His Majesty in his mouth, but directly called Emperor Wu of Han as his grandfather according to his seniority.
"Sima Qian, the grass people, pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor." Sima Qian was at the end and also bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Sima Qian? You're here too? You're well written! When Emperor Wu of Han heard Sima Qian's voice, he was a little surprised, and then praised it very casually.
"If Your Majesty likes it, you might as well take a look at this article, which is also written by Sima Qian." Huo Guang's voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time he looked at Sima Qian, and then Sima Qian took out a rolled-up paper roll from his sleeve and handed it to Huo Guang.
Huo Guang took the scroll of paper and walked directly towards Emperor Wu of Han, and stopped when he was only four or five feet away from Emperor Wu of Han. Zhang Anshi had been standing beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looking at Huo Guang nervously, and his curious eyes fell on Huo Guang's hand.
"Zhang Anshi read it to me." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Guang, and he didn't know if he was too lazy to look at it, or if his eyes were not good, so he directly ordered Zhang Anshi to read it to him.
Zhang Anshi took the scroll of paper in Huo Guang's hand and opened it slowly, he was naturally curious about what was written in it. In his opinion, it should be an edict prepared by Huo Guang and others in advance, which is to ask Emperor Wu of Han to kill certain people, and then abdicate to the emperor's eldest grandson or something. However, when he saw the first few sentences of the text, his face became extremely exciting.
"Nian ......" Emperor Wu of Han saw that Zhang Anshi had not moved for a long time, and said in a low voice.
Zhang Anshi glanced at Huo Guang helplessly, and then lowered his head and recited: "Today is restless, the crown prince and queen were wronged and humiliated, and then there were barbarians who entered the country, and the people were displaced...... His sins should be bowed down, and he dared to forgive himself......"
"This is a guilty edict ......" Zhang Anshi's voice stopped for a long time before Emperor Wu of Han said leisurely, as if he was still recalling the content of the article just now.
"In ancient times, the holy lords have all sinned and edicted, Your Majesty's merits are better than Yu Tang, and the edict of sins can show Your Majesty's sage, on the occasion of the critical survival of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty's guilty edict can appease the world, let the front-line soldiers use their lives, and make all the people in the world feel the same heart." Huo Guang's body leaned forward slightly, and although his tone was respectful, there was a faint hint of persecution.
"This edict is okay, but I have a sentence I want to ask you, have you ever had an objection in your heart?" Emperor Wu of Han nodded slightly, his eyes looked directly at Huo Guang, it was the first time he looked at Huo Guang so closely, this once great emperor was forced to look at him by a courtier for the first time, and Huo Guang also became the first courtier to dare to look at Emperor Wu of Han like this.
"The minister will show His Majesty one more thing, and after reading it, His Majesty will understand. I wonder if Your Majesty can still see it? Huo Guang was not moved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's aura, he was still calm and calm, and his words were calm and light.
"Naturally, it's okay." Emperor Wu of Han showed a smile for the first time today.
"Sima Qian, present that book about Your Majesty." Huo Guang called Sima Qian's name again, and this time Sima Qian took out a thin book from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Honki Imagami?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw the thin book in Sima Qian's hand, and the four words on the cover were very conspicuous, and it was written a few words from the present book.
"To a reigning emperor...... How bold are you..... But it's also interesting, worthy of Anyang Hou! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understood the meaning of the words "Jinshang Benji", he stretched out his hand to take the book handed by Sima Qian, and said with a faint anger in his mouth, but then with a little praise.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty silently flipped through this thin book with only a dozen pages, and as time passed, the people outside the palace were already anxious, and the dignitaries and ordinary people of Chang'an City were also anxious. Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Weiyang Palace was still calm, and there was not even any news.
In the history of the whole Chang'an City for hundreds of years, this strange scene appeared for the first time, the sun began to rise, shining on the majestic and magnificent Chang'an City, but the whole city is like a freeze in time, the door is closed everywhere, and there are no pedestrians in the market. Even the sound of chickens and dogs barking has disappeared.
"Very good..... Very pertinent..... I will decree that this book will be placed in Shiqu Pavilion, and it will be published in the world after my funeral. After a stick of incense, Emperor Wu of Han closed the book, and touched the book in his hand lovingly, and then said with satisfaction.
Seeing the appearance of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang suddenly showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and then bowed down to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and said, "Your Majesty thinks that it would be good if the word Jinshang was changed to the word Xiaowu?" ”
As soon as Huo Guang's words came out, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expression changed drastically, and Zhang Anshi, Liu Jin and Sima Qian on the side also looked frightened.
"Be bold .....," Zhang Anshi blurted out subconsciously.
"Teachers can't ....." Liu Jin also hurriedly spoke, they just forced the palace, but they never thought of asking for the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang ignored the surprised expressions of several people, and still stared at Emperor Wu of Han. And Emperor Wu of Han just looked at Huo Guang, as if the few people next to him didn't exist. After a few more breaths, Emperor Wu of Han's expression slowly soothed, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Haha..... Good... What a filial piety emperor.... That's a good nickname..... I love it. IE Ruide ..... Emperor..... Hahahaha...... Huo Guang, you deserve to be the person who knows me best....." The three words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty popped out of Liu Che's mouth for the first time, and no one thought that a living emperor could say his posthumous name. However, there is no imaginary anger, and Liu Che is extremely fond and satisfied with this nickname.
"Tell me, whose heads do you want?" Emperor Wu of Han restrained the smile on his face, and for the first time since Huo Guang entered the hall, he showed a solemn look.
Huo Guang took half a step back when he heard this, and then bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is compassionate, the ministers and laborers are coming from an expedition, and those people on the text naturally can't stay, they must give an explanation to King Liang and the people of the world, and none of the other alchemists who are alchemizing for Your Majesty can't stay." ”
The inscriptions on the side of the Qing monarch are mainly the names of Liu Quyu, Su Wen and others, and most of them have been rewarded because of the prince's case, and there are only more than ten people. However, when Huo Guang saw the pills placed next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he added all the Fang Shi to the list of must-kill.
"Those are the people?" Emperor Wu of Han was a little surprised when he heard Huo Guang's answer.
"In addition, the minister will borrow two heads from His Majesty!" Huo Guang's voice was quieter than before.
"Who?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became more and more puzzled, he thought that Huo Guang was going to kill him, but why did he say that he wanted two heads?
"You go out first." Huo Guang didn't answer immediately, but looked at Liu Jin and Sima Qian.
The two looked at Huo Guang with some puzzlement and hesitation, and at this moment, even a calm-minded person like Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel uneasy, and his heart was beating violently.
"Go down, all of you." In the end, Emperor Wu of Han said again, but it meant the same thing as Huo Guang.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke, both Liu Jin and Sima Qian and Zhang Anshi bowed down and retreated, and only Huo Guang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were left in the entire Qingliang Palace.
