Chapter 89: The Demonstration of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

"No, no one should be informed now, and no one else can be implicated in this matter. Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa " Huo Quzhi seems to be afraid of something, and he doesn't want to talk to anyone about this matter at all.

"Brother, will Yiguanhou be in danger?" Huo Guang asked uncertainly, he had discussed this issue with Huo Quzhi a few days ago, and the danger that Huo Guang asked was naturally whether there would be a murder.

"It only depends on His Majesty's determination!" Huo Quzhi seemed a little helpless, in this era, the emperor's words can determine life and death, it can be said that the future of Gao Buzhi is completely in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, even if Gao Buzhi is wronged, there is no possibility of overturning the case at all.

"Is there nothing we can do about it?" Huo Guang is not a person who likes to sit still, although it is not directly related to himself now, but Gao Buzhi has to make Huo Guang think a little bit about it today, the supremacy of imperial power in feudal society, if he is not good at getting into trouble, then he will really become a fish and meat to be slaughtered, which Huo Guang does not want to happen.

"Ah Guang, I know you are unwilling. Why not be a brother? But this is the sorrow of our relatives, and it can also be said to be the sorrow of every courtier. We seem to outsiders to be beautiful, but all this is given by His Majesty, and when His Majesty wants to take back these glories one day, we are powerless to resist! Huo Qubing seemed a little lonely when he mentioned this topic, it seems that everyone has a helpless time in the world, and Huo Quzhi's helplessness is the awe of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty is like a big mountain for Huo Qubing to look up to, and at the same time it presses him heavily.

Huo Guang was also silent for a while, and he had nothing to say about this situation. Although the word 'resistance' has always flashed in Huo Guang's heart, all of this is the work of his later thoughts, he doesn't dare to say this kind of thing, and it is indeed impossible to break the kettle so much for a high ignorance.

"Let's see what Your Majesty means tomorrow morning!" Huo Quzhi finally said a word, waved his hand lightly, and motioned for Huo Guang to rest.

Huo Guang walked out of Huo Quai's room and saw Li Yan waiting for him with a lamp under the eaves opposite. Huo Guang walked over quickly and said, "Yan'er, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Second master, you forgot yourself, I'm Huo Xian! You can't scream anymore. Li Yan said with a straight face, but she corrected Huo Guanglai herself.

"I know, it's just that you're too wronged by this. From now on, you will no longer be able to have contact with the Li family. Huo Guang waved his hand and said as he walked.

"After the woman gets married, she is already a member of her husband's family, what is the grievance of this?" Li Yan said disapprerovingly, there is indeed such a thought in this era, so that it cannot be said that Li Yan is unkind, and in feudal society, women are not born to be regarded as members of their own family. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

"You're going to serve me for the rest of your life from now on, aren't you wronged?" Huo Guang said jokingly.

"It's really not serious, when did you still say such things. How's going on with Yi Guanhou? "Li Yan's identity change is very smooth, since a few days ago, she has regarded herself as a member of the Huo family, and everything is based on the interests of the Huo family.

"Whether the matter is big or small, it all depends on His Majesty's will. Do you still remember that I once told you that my brother led Yiguanhou and others to write to ask for the title of the three princes? That time, His Majesty compromised, but His Majesty is a person who never suffers, and this time it is a counterattack, and it is also a warning to Wei Huo! "There is nothing to hide from Li Yan Huo Guang now, and the life and death of Gao Buzhi completely depends on how much affection Emperor Wu of Han still has for Wei Huo, or how useful Wei Huo is to him.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wants to cultivate another force, then Gao Buzhi will definitely be a dead end this time, and if this is just a simple warning, then Gao Buzhi's ending will most likely be to cut off the lord and remove the country, and his life can still be saved.

It is precisely for this reason that Huo Quzhi has not made any countermeasures so far. He is actually waiting for tomorrow's early dynasty, for the entire Wei Huo, the most important thing now is to understand the attitude of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tomorrow's treatment of Gao Buzhi. Compared to the fate of Gao Ignorant, this point is the most important!

Early in the morning of the second day, Huo Qubing and Huo Guang left the Hou Mansion at almost the same time, Huo Qubing went to the early dynasty of Weiyang Palace, and Huo Guang was not qualified to go, so he naturally went to Chang'an County.

Since coming to the Yamen of Chang'an County, everyone in the Yamen has deliberately avoided Huo Guang, and everyone knows that Huo Guang is definitely in a bad mood now, and no one wants to touch this moldy head. It wasn't until Du Yannian appeared that Huo Guang finally spoke.

"Longevity, you know the law. If Yi Guanhou is convicted, then what is the worst and best ending? "Du Yannian's family study is the law, and this question is the right question.

Gao Buzhi was suddenly arrested last night, and this matter is no secret in the upper echelons of Chang'an. Du Yannian naturally knew about this for the first time, and because of his relationship with Huo Guang, he had already thought about this issue. So Du Yannian didn't think much about it and replied directly: "My lord, once the crime of falsely reporting military merits is established, it will be beheaded according to the law, and the family will be used as official slaves." That's the worst! ”

"So it's a little better?" Huo Guang guessed that Gao Buzhi might save his life, but he only started from the situation and did not have a legal basis, if he could find a way to let Gao Buzhi save his life from the legal theory, this would naturally be a blessing in misfortune.

"Indeed, there is more, and that is to atone for sins with money. The Two-Year Decree. There is a regulation for atonement for sins with money, and the people are guilty of capital crimes, and the redemption of death is two catties and eight taels of gold. However, it is not so simple for Yiguanhou to atone for his sins with gold! "Du Yannian is familiar with every law of the Han Dynasty, and in the Western Han Dynasty, there is indeed a law of atonement with gold.

"Two catties and eight taels of gold? It's too simple, so what's the problem? "Huo Guang heard that it only costs two catties and eight taels of gold to atone for the death penalty, which may be impossible for ordinary people, but it is really not difficult for high-ranking officials and marquis, if it is really so easy to exempt the death penalty, then the country is also chaotic.

"The problem lies in the title of Marquis! Because once a liege commits a sin, it is usually a sin, and even if he wants to atone for his sin, it is not to atone for a person's sin. And if you don't agree to atone for your sins with money, your majesty has to nod, so whether Yiguanhou is dead or alive depends on your majesty's will, if your majesty wants him to die, there will be no chance! Du Yannian broke the mystery in one sentence, and the final result still depends on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Just when Huo Guang and Du Yannian were discussing, the court meeting in the front hall of Weiyang Palace had also begun. The atmosphere of today's court meeting is particularly depressing at the beginning, if it is an ordinary liehou who is arrested, this may become a talking point for a period of time, but it will never make the court meeting all the rumors, but Gao does not know this liehou is different, the difference lies in his title 'Yiguan', everyone knows that he is the henchman of the champion Hou. This kind of thing goes straight to another level.

After some singing, in the vocal music of the chimes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came first, and the court meeting officially began. As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat down for a moment, Yang Ke, the court lieutenant, took the lead in walking out, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Si Zhi Zhou Yan reported that Yiguan Hou Gao did not know that he had falsely reported his military exploits in the Battle of Mobei, and lied about the first rank of thirty and seven, this matter has been investigated, please make a decision." ”

Huo Quzhi raised his head slightly, and looked at Li Cai, who was the leader on the left, and the other person not far from him. This latter is the Prime Minister's Si Zhi Zhou Yan, speaking of which, this official position was only established at the beginning of this year, and its role is to assist the Prime Minister in correcting lawlessness, and this official position is more than 2,000 stones, and it can be regarded as an important minister. However, there is another layer of meaning that supervises the prime minister, and it is precisely because of the particularity of this official position that he reports whether he is high or not, which can be regarded as Li Cai's instruction, or it can be regarded as the instruction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Doctor Yushi, what should I do if I am guilty of this crime according to the law?" Emperor Wu of Han opened his mouth and asked, Zhang Tang.

Zhang Tang stood up, but did not leave his seat, and said: "Yiguanhou should be beheaded according to the law, and his family will be official slaves." Zhang Tang only said two sentences, and the result was exactly the same as what Du Yannian said.

"What do other Aiqing think?" Emperor Wu of Han did not make a decision immediately, but asked again.

As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finished speaking, Li Cai, the minister, stood up first and said: "The law is majestic, and if you touch it, you will die." Yi Guanhou should ignore the law, but act according to the law, so as to set an example! ”

"The minister also thinks that he should act according to the law to set an example!" With Prime Minister Li Cai's statement, more officials also expressed their attitudes, and they were all in the same word, but most of these officials were still dominated by civil servants.

Huo Quzhi lowered his head, and he didn't say anything, and at this moment he had to admit that form was stronger than people. This situation is really a bit similar to the situation when the three princes were invited last time, and they are all one-sided forms.

"Hussar General, what do you think? Yiguanhou is your subordinate, can you tell me what you think? When the Manchu Dynasty was all following the example of this voice, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally turned his attention to Huo Quai. These words fell in the ears of Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing beside him, and he obviously felt that Emperor Wu of Han had a demonstrative tone, this was a warning to them!

Huo Quzhi took a deep breath, stood up and said: "The minister's rule is not strict, and this matter is difficult to blame, please ask Your Majesty to confess." If the evidence of Yi Guanhou's crime is conclusive, everything is up to His Majesty to decide! ”

Huo Qubing was already very quiet in the court when he spoke, and his attitude was still very satisfactory in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Huo Qubing was still a little surprised in the eyes of some people, because at this time, even if he just begged for mercy and fought for Gao Buzhi, he could calm people's hearts, and Huo Qubing took the initiative to ask for guilt, which would make other subordinates feel cold.

However, those who have a heart can still hear the meaning of Huo Quai's words, because Huo Quai's final sentence is not to intercede, nor to act according to the law, but to say that it is all up to His Majesty to decide. There are many more implications to this!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty naturally heard the meaning of Huo Quai's words, and after being silent for a moment, he said: "So the hussar general also means to act according to the law?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked rhetorically, as soon as these words came out, Wei Qing and Huo Quai's hearts sank, it seemed that this was the signal of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did he really want to kill Gao and not know? But at this time, neither Huo Quzhi nor Wei Qing could say anything, and Huo Quzhi even answered no, nor did he answer.

"Your Majesty, please let me be!" Just as the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were holding their breath and waiting for the final ending, a voice suddenly came from the end of the main hall. This sound instantly broke the atmosphere that had condensed to the freezing point, and also made Emperor Wu of Han can't help but look in the direction of the palace gate.

Later, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw that the one who spoke at this time was actually sitting at the last seat, and the Taizhong doctor Dongfang Shuo, who had never spoken in the past.
