Chapter 143: The Huo family's conviction leaves a line
The wait was long but like a snap of his fingers, and a moment after the second watch, a guard came to report that Fan Mingyou wanted to talk to Han Zeng alone, and at this point, Han Zeng also agreed to go to another place with Fan Mingyou to talk.
"Long Erhou, until now, the only thing I can't let go of is the children at home, I know that this life is difficult to protect, I just ask Hou Ye to help the whole family." Pham Minh Woo is already depressed and no longer wants to do any fighting.
"I do my best." It is difficult for Han Zeng to predict how Liu Yi will finally be willing to end, especially after Liu Zheng's murder, Han Zeng does not dare to say much at this moment.
"Thank you Lord Hou, Cheng Shu instructed me to take care of the Huo family and take care of the queen mother in the palace, I have done the first one, and I can only ask Lord Hou for help in the second case." After Fan Mingyou saw Han Zeng nodding, he was relieved, "In this life, I live to serve the country, but the world makes people, and finally I end up with the name of a thief, but no matter what, I, Fan Mingyou, are worthy of my heart, if I say the most wrong thing, it is that I did not dissuade the Huo family, and as they plan today's things, but the king wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die, even if the Huo family does not rebel, it will not be able to last for a long time, and I can meet Cheng Shu underground tonight." Pham Minh Nhu returned to the banquet room with a relaxed smile.
When the second watch arrived, Han Zeng listened to the guards to report, Huo Shan, Huo Yun, and Fan Mingyou had committed suicide to apologize, just begging not to affect the people in the family, in this way, Han Zeng was satisfied, and it was also a shame that they did not waste their efforts, just when Han Zeng was happy, there were guards to report.
"Hou Ye, Huo Xian and Huo Yu escaped by climbing through the window and have been captured by their subordinates, what should Hou Ye do?"
"Take me to them!" Han Zeng's eyebrows were furrowed, he didn't calculate it until this time, Huo Xian and Huo Yu were still thinking about escaping, there were so many people guarding inside and out, where could they flee, it was just another layer of crime for themselves.
Han Zeng privately met with the two people who had been bound, "If it weren't for Chengjun entrusting me to leave a pulse of incense for the Huo family, how could I have been so painstakingly persuasive, but not only do you not appreciate it, but you still think of these methods, you only need to confess your guilt, or you can save your life, and now you add one more crime, isn't it putting yourself to death?" Han Zeng couldn't figure out how Huo Guang could marry a wife like this and have a child like this, which made Huo Chengjun even more sad.
"Han Zeng, you are so good with Chengjun, just let us go, the general has contributed to the court, and he will not kill the Huo family!" It's ridiculous that Huo Xian is still dreaming of Huo Guang's time, and he doesn't know that he is only one step away from death.
"Yes, Long Erhou, for the sake of the eighth sister, you let us go, this kindness, I Huo Yu will remember it in my life!" Huo Yu was already trembling with fear, seeing Huo Shan, Huo Yun, and Fan Mingyou all dying in front of him, he wanted to live more, he was even more afraid of death, so he listened to Huo Xian's words and wanted to escape from Huo Mansion.
"It's not up to me to decide these things, you are fleeing, but so many pairs of eyes are watching, I can't cover it up, everything is still up to Your Majesty!" Han Zeng waved his hand, "Come on, bring people to the Tingwei Yamen, guard them, and wait for Your Majesty's holy judgment." ”
When Huo Yu and Huo Xian screamed sadly and were taken away, only one room was empty, Han Zeng closed his eyes, and then slowly left the house, and when he arrived at the door of Huo Mansion, he looked up, and the awe-inspiring word "Huo Mansion" was after tonight, he was afraid that he would be lost in the history of the Han Dynasty, put away his thoughts, and Han Zeng went to the palace to pay attention to Liu Ai.
Huo Chengjun didn't know what the situation of the Huo family was, and he was even more anxious, only knowing that Han Zeng was leading his troops to go, and the evening breeze in July was very comfortable, but Huo Chengjun only saw the messy sky full of stars, just like her mood at this time.
"Miss, take a break, since Long Ehou has accepted Miss, naturally there will be no problem." Since the Meiyin left, Liu Ying has asked the guards to strictly guard the Jiaofang Palace, and Huo Chengjun has been absent-minded all day long, and when the Huo family's incident broke out, he never closed his eyes.
"Yun Se, Yun Ling, I'm afraid that the Huo family won't be able to keep it, what should I do?" Huo Chengjun's eyebrows and eyes were tightly wrinkled together, it was difficult to see the king's face on the top, and it was difficult to see his mother and brother on the bottom, so he couldn't say a word.
"How do you think about yourself, Miss?" Yun Se felt sorry for Huo Chengjun, since she entered the palace, she had to carry too much, how long had she not seen her smile as she had been, how long had she not seen her sincere smile, like the sunshine of spring.
"I'm already like this, what else can I do?" The corners of Huo Chengjun's mouth involved a smile, the bitterness has entered the bottom of people's hearts, this sleepless night, Liu Ill has been waiting for a long time, Huo Chengjun has been scared for a long time, and finally fulfilled Liu Ill's wish, and finally let Huo Chengjun's prayers come to naught.
On the morning of the second day, all the recitals were like an appointment, and they blamed the Huo family, most of them had pushed the Huo family to death, Han Zeng Xu was hanging Huo Chengjun's instructions that day, and stood up in a crusade: "Your Majesty is lenient to people, Liu Yanshou rebelled in the first year of the Earth Festival, Your Majesty is merciful, and the disaster will not affect the family, so Xuancheng Hou Huo Guang has contributed to Sheji, and the minister implores His Majesty to leave a vein of incense for Xuancheng Hou to sacrifice for him." ”
"Long Ehou's words are wrong, if it is said that the merit of Xuan Chenghou, His Majesty has sealed the third marquis of the Huo family, but the Huo family is not grateful, but they have two hearts, and these people are only afraid of endless troubles in the future." Most of the Confucian scholars in the DPRK and China have not received Huo Guang's favor, and there are even those who have been suppressed by Huo Guang, and now the Huo family is defeated, which is what they want to see, and the so-called beating of water dogs is nothing more than that.
Bing Ji Nian's relationship with Huo Guang in the past, although he had Xu Guanghan's previous kind instructions, he still couldn't help but say a few words for the Huo family, "Your Majesty, before Xuancheng Hou passed away, His Majesty promised to stay in the Huo family, but now Huo Yun and Huo Shan are dead, and only Huo Yu is left in the Huo family. ”
Bing Ji said a word, and no one in the court dared to respond anymore, if he advocated killing Huo Yu again, wouldn't it make Liu Yi lose his trust in the world, no one could afford such a crime, and he only thought that Huo Yu should have escaped this catastrophe.
And Liu Ai already said with a smile: "What Long Ehou said is reasonable, he should be lenient with others, and give people a chance to change," just as Han Zeng put his heart down, Liu Ai suddenly changed his words, "Huo Yun, Huo Shan, and Fan Mingyou committed suicide in fear of crime, they are already people who know their mistakes, and they can't blame their families, and they are dead, so they give up, but Huo Xian and Huo Yu not only admit their guilt, but also have no remorse, and try to escape, if I let go of these people today, how can I know that they will not cause trouble again, and the Han Dynasty will not be able to go through disasters again." ”
Hearing the meaning of Liu Yi's words, Bing Ji was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty ......"
But Bing Ji's words were still interrupted by Liu Yi: "What Dr. Bing said is also very reasonable, it can be said that it is for the sake of the five to the extreme, I also think that people should not be untrustworthy, I promised Xuancheng Hou at that time, since I should do this, I will leave Xuancheng Hou Xiaonu as a sacrifice for him, what does Doctor Bing think?" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Huo Yu can't keep it, he can keep Huo Guang's daughter, if he gives his nephew to the surname Huo in the future, it will make no difference, after all, there is still the blood of the Huo family, Bing Ji knows that he can't force Liu Ill anymore, so he happily responds, only when this method is very good, and when he sees Liu Ill's satisfied smile, he knows that in the end it is just an empty word, Huo Guang's youngest daughter is not Huo Chengjun, and even if Huo Chengjun has something, the child Liu Ill will not agree to let his surname Huo, and the words have been spoken, and there is no change.
"That being the case, the people of the Huo family are guilty of many crimes, so they ordered the Qin Tianjian to behead Huo Yu on the next day, except for the little daughter of the Huo family, the rest of the people will be beheaded in public, and those involved in this case cannot be spared!"
Seeing that Liu Yi had such a clever method, Bing Ji and Zhang Anshi only felt that they were indeed old, walked out of the palace, looked up at the gloomy sky, and their wrinkled eyes were already hazy, "Zimeng, did you expect that the Huo family today, the Huo family you worked so hard to manage was ruined after all, and the promise you wanted at that time was just to save Chengjun." ”
"The general did not dare to be confused until he died, but he did not expect that His Majesty had already prepared." Han Zeng said quietly behind Bing Ji, Liu Yi could still be so indifferent after listening to Bing Ji's words today, which can only show that he had expected such a situation a long time ago, and when he gave Huo Guang the promise at that time, he had already made today's preparations; Listening to Han Zeng's words, Bing Ji's eyes were even more sad for Huo Guang.
The Huo family has been arrested, and the guards of the Jiaofang Palace have gradually retreated, Huo Chengjun looked at all this, listening to the words from the people below, his body that had not stopped for a few days could no longer support it, and he fainted at once, and when he woke up, the first sentence was to ask Xiang Yunse: "Your Majesty really made such a will, didn't you put the Huo family to death?" ”
Although Yun Se didn't want to tell Huo Chengjun that this was not the case, who could change the truth, "It's just that the arrangement is more than that, except for Miss, there will be no one left in the three clans of the Huo family." Yun Se's tears wet Huo Chengjun's arms, she grew up in the Huo family, but she didn't want to watch the Huo family go to extinction, at this time they were all like duckweed, floating on the water, but there was no fixed place.
"I'm going to see Your Majesty, he won't be so cruel ......" Huo Chengjun was dressed in plain clothes, his black hair was scattered, and he was not decorated, and he walked all the way to the front of the Xuanshu Palace, but was stopped by the palace people, and only said that His Majesty asked the queen to go back to the Jiaofang Palace to recuperate.
"Father-in-law Liao, please tell Your Majesty, Cheng Jun wants to see Your Majesty, just ask Your Majesty for one thing, Your Majesty has promised to follow me."
"The queen mother should go back, Your Majesty said that you can't see anyone, why do you have to suffer under this sun?" Father-in-law Liao also felt sorry for Huo Chengjun, but Liu Chengjun's mind could not be changed, rather than doing a senseless struggle to make Huo Chengjun annoyed with Liu Ill, it was better to ignore it, but how could Huo Chengjun do it.
"Chengjun has come today, and if you don't see Your Majesty, you won't go back to Jiaofang Palace," Huo Chengjun knelt on the ground, "Concubine Huo Chengjun knelt down to see Your Majesty!" "It doesn't matter if it's a bitter plan, it's okay to force Liu Ill, anyway, she has to fight for this last glimmer of hope for the Huo family, and the bet is that Liu Ill has a little place in her heart.
"What are you doing, Queen, hurry up." Father-in-law Liao stepped forward to help him, but Huo Chengjun didn't want to get up, and knelt on the ground straight, Father-in-law Liao had no choice but to enter the palace again to report Liu's illness.
