The Han Dynasty Chang'an civil strife broke out, and he was too busy to take care of himself, but at this time, the Xiongnu in Mobei attacked again, and the border areas that had been calm for more than ten years ushered in war again.

For this.

The imperial court, which had reshuffled the cards, urgently convened a court meeting.

The content is nothing more than to recruit soldiers to defeat these Huns.

But the disaster of the Huns came from the nomads. The biggest advantage of nomadism over farming is that the other party has no fixed location, and farming always has to guard the land.

Therefore, the Huns could not be killed, and farming could not be won.

The final result is that the people will lose their money, the people will cry out, and the country will be shaken!

If it is an ordinary emperor, in the face of this situation, most of them seek peace, and if they can avoid war, they will try to avoid war.

But who is Emperor Wu of Han?

That is the emperor that later generations often compare with Qin Shi Huang!

This time, the Huns took advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty to invade, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che naturally wanted to fight back.

But now.

Huo Qubing was transferred by him to the southward region to suppress the Baiyue countries, and the only general in the court who could be mobilized was the straw bag general Li Guangli.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was very fond of cultivating the forces of his relatives for his own use.

But alas.

At this time, his imperial luck was no longer as good as it was when he was younger.

Wei Qing, a former relative, was able to write and martial arts, and was loyal to the royal family and the Han Dynasty, so he was naturally easy to use.

Li's relatives are really far worse than Wei's relatives.

is not faithful, and he is not good at fighting.

But choose the tallest one among the short, and the only thing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can value at this time is this Li Guangli.

Above the court.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Li Guangli: "Chang'an has just undergone a change, and these Xiongnu must be unwilling to be lonely after learning the news, and want to touch the bottom of my Han Dynasty." ”

"Second Division, General!"

"I ask you, do you dare to fight the Huns?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to fight the Xiongnu, but the court at this time was no longer the previous court.

I only heard Li Guangli arch his hand and say: "Your Majesty, no, the changes in the Han Palace, the middle-level generals have been killed and wounded, such as Uncle Ao, Zhao Ponu and other generals of the older generation are gone." ”

"We don't have anyone to use."

"Against the Huns, just using those recruits, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win."

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che remained silent and did not speak.

Thereupon.

Li Guangli glanced at Prime Minister Liu Quyu on the side.

At this time, Liu Quyu and Li Guangli had already become in-laws, so they naturally wore a pair of pants.

Sensing Li Guangli's eyes, he immediately stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you should try to avoid conflicts with the Huns this time." The predicament of the Han army at this time was not only that there were no generals, but also that there were not many war horses. ”

"The minister advises Your Majesty not to issue an order to force the people to raise horses."

"In the past two years, taxes have been excessive, the people have suffered unspeakably, and there have been continuous uprisings in various places. The hussar general Da Sima did not have enough troops to suppress the South Vietnamese states. ”

"I must never open the front again, and I will suffer from the enemy on my back!"

At this time, in the imperial court, Li Guangli held the military power, and Liu Quyu was the prime minister, the head of the hundred officials. These two people are now singing and harmonizing, even if they are Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they can do it.

And it was the attitude of the two of them today that attracted the extreme dissatisfaction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

I saw Emperor Wu of Han glaring at the two of them, and after snorting, he shouted to Li Guangli: "General of the Second Division!" ”

"The minister is here!"

Li Guangli held the military power, but at this time he still had to submit to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Han stared at him and asked, "I asked you to fight the Xiongnu, do you have any objections?" ”

Li Guangli immediately knelt down and said: "The minister does not dare to have any objections, if Your Majesty allows the minister to lead the troops to attack the Huns, the minister will be executed to death." ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Li Guangli, and on his old face, he couldn't see what his mood was.

I saw him slowly close his eyes and make no sound.

The ministers in the court didn't dare to squeak when they saw Emperor Wu of Han like this.

Until a certain moment.

The sound of Emperor Wu of Han dozing off sounded in the palace, and the ministers in the court realized that Emperor Wu of Han was asleep.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The eunuch beside him called softly twice.

Then.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, woke up and asked, "Just now, where did you go?" ”

The eunuch replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the general of the second division has returned to you, and he said, if Your Majesty really sends him to fight against the Huns, then he will definitely carry out his orders!" ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded, and then said to Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division: "Okay! , since the general of the second division has this determination, then Prime Minister, you will make up 70,000 soldiers and horses for Li Guangli. Soon, attack the Huns! ”

When Li Guangli, the general of the second division, heard this, he immediately knelt down and arched his hand: "No." ”

Prime Minister Liu Quyu is not like Li Guangli, the palace rebellion has not been dealt with yet, where is he going to get 70,000 horses now?

So.

Liu Quyu wanted to continue to persuade Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to give up the war.

However.

Emperor Wu of Han didn't give him a chance to speak, just waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, everyone, let's retreat!" ”

"No."

The ministers bowed and bowed one after another, and then left.

As Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left the main hall, Li Guangli put his hand on Liu Quyu's shoulder and said, "Prime Minister, come to my house for a drink?" ”

However, the prime minister glared at Li Guangli angrily and said, "Why are you talking so fast, what are you doing to agree to Your Majesty's conquest?" ”

"Now, where can I go and find you 70,000 soldiers and horses?"

"You say, what now?"

The position of prime minister is indeed a high authority.

But the responsibility that needs to be borne is also very high. Ordinary people, without that ability, really can't be a big official like the prime minister.

Li Guangli laughed and said, "Prime Minister, you can't blame me, Your Majesty looks like that, you also saw it." ”

"If I don't agree."

"He ordered someone to cut me down with a knife, who do I go to reason?"

"Okay, okay, come to my house for a drink, and we'll discuss this matter slowly."

"By the way, let's discuss the matter of the king of Lichangyi as the crown prince!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Liu Quyu looked around timidly, for fear that people would hear this.

See that there is no one around.

The prime minister dared to say to Li Guangli: "Can you talk nonsense here, looking for death?" ”

Li Guangli laughed and said, "What are you afraid of, now in the imperial court, isn't it all you and me who have the final say?" All the power is in the hands of you and me, who dares to trouble us? ”

"Again!"

"Your Majesty is now old and dizzy, you didn't see it just now, you can doze off while sitting, how many years can you have?"

"The prince's matter, let's make plans early."

“……”

A few days later.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty secretly recruited Huo Guang into the palace and chatted about things.

Emperor Wu of Han walked by the lake, and Huo Guang followed behind him.

I only heard Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ask leisurely, "How is the construction of the Si Palace?" ”

Huo Guang immediately replied: "Tell Your Majesty that the Si Palace is already under construction, because the scale is not too large, so it is expected to be completed within two months." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han nodded, and then asked, "In this way, you will build another Wangsi Tower for me in Hu County." ”

"No."

Huo Guang replied.

Building another lookout is not a problem, it is just time and manpower.

The question is.

There is no need for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to talk to himself in person about this matter, just the next edict.

So.

His Majesty must have had something else to say about his secret recruitment into the palace this time.

But here's the thing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't say anything, and Huo Guang couldn't speak directly, so he could only follow behind him and listen silently.

After walking for a while, he came to a small pavilion, and Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, finally stopped and asked, "Huo Guang, I have snubbed you all these years, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Huo Guang immediately said: "Your Majesty, what are these words, the king is the minister, how can the minister blame the king!" ”

This kind of thing is the basic element of being an official.

According to what a certain big warlord surnamed Zhang said.

The rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are sophisticated!

What is the sophistication of human feelings?

It's not like slapping the horse and running the train in your mouth.

When Emperor Wu of Han heard Huo Guang's words, he nodded and said, "It's great that you can think like this." ”

"I'm old!"

"I often miss the past, I remember the first time I met you, you stole General Cheng's chicken, made it into a flower chicken, and gave it to me to eat, so that I could take responsibility for you."

"Later, I still wanted to cheat me out of my money, when you were a child, you were so naughty!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is this going to play the emotional card?

That's right, too.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, from the three dukes to the Si Zhi, almost made him cut down in this palace change.

Now.

He promoted Liu Quyu to prime minister, and Li Guangli was in charge of all the surrounding military power. These two are now married, although they still listen to the words of Emperor Wu of Han on the surface.

In fact, the power of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been emptied.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, none of them can let him use it with confidence.

If you don't play the emotional card with Huo Guang again, then the relatives of the Li family are afraid that they will do what happened to Empress Lu back then.

As for why Huo Guang?

Very simple!

Because what Huo Guang represents is Wei's relative. Even if the Wei family is not here now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and now looking at the entire Chang'an, only the Huo family can compete with the Li family.

Hearing the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang immediately said: "The minister was ignorant when he was young, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said with a smile: "When I was young, what is there to forgive my sins!" ”

The words fell.

Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and said to the guards who followed him, "You all stand down, I have something to say to Huo Yilang." ”

"No!"

When the guards heard this, they left the pavilion and stood far away.

Only then did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty say to Huo Guang: "Huo Guang, there are no outsiders here, so I will follow you." ”

"I made it clear."

"In the matter of the prince, Jiang Chong and his ilk are not only in turmoil, there must also be comrades. Those people have caused me to lose my children in my old age, and I will never forgive them! ”

As soon as Emperor Wu of Han said this, the murderous aura on his body instantly burst out.

There is no kindness at all.

This is the face of an emperor.

Huo Guang was also taken aback by the murderous intent emanating from Emperor Wu of Han's body, and hurriedly said, "What does Your Majesty need to do with your ministers?" ”

Emperor Wu of Han stared at Huo Guang with his eyes like a torch and said, "I remember that you used to take those rangers who harmed the people for your own use, and named them Jinyi, can you still control them now?" ”

Huo Guang replied: "I can control it." ”

Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said, "That's good, I want you to use these people to infiltrate Prime Minister Liu Quyu and the Li family, and collect evidence of their crimes in the crown prince case!" ”

"Wait a few days."

"I asked that Li Guangli to take the troops to conquer Mobei, and you will use my hand to take down Prime Minister Liu Quyu."

"As for the Li family's relatives, I will personally clean them up!"

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already determined that Li's relatives were the driving force behind the crown prince's case.

What is the saying?

Doubt is guilt!

There is no doubt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is going to start a major reshuffle of officials in the court again.

When Huo Guang heard this, he immediately replied: "No! ”

After talking.

Huo Guang left the palace and returned to his mansion, and asked people to call Fei Crab and Zhao Ji, the commanders of Jinyi, and ordered them to closely monitor every move in the Prime Minister's Mansion and Li Guangli's Mansion.

As for the spies?

The people in brocade have already entered these two families.

It's just that they don't usually need them, so they've never been enabled. They will not be notified until they need to.

Therefore, the spies of Jinyi have never been discovered.

Not long.

News came from the Jinyi organization about Prime Minister Liu Quyu and Li Guangli conspiring to promote Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, as the crown prince.

Who is Liu Ji?

He is the son of Mrs. Li, and Li Guangli is Liu Ji's uncle.

Although Mrs. Li has passed away, it is really possible for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to favor Mrs. Li and make Liu Ji the crown prince.

But a fool like Li Guangli has to intervene in this matter.

Since ancient times, the emperor's family is most disgusted with the fact that the courtiers have extended their hands to the establishment of the prince. If the emperor knew about it, it would be difficult not to respond to it.

If Liu Ji ascends the throne as emperor.

After that day, Li Guangli was in the court, and he was really an existence that covered the sky with one hand.

Thereupon.

When Huo Guang collected all the incriminating evidence about Li Guangli, he presented it to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che saw these evidences.

Present.

I decided to do it.

Thereupon.

An edict was sent from the palace, ordering Li Guangli to lead the Han army to Mobei in advance. After Li Guangli received the edict, he could only obey his orders and was transferred out of Chang'an.

And with Li Guangli being pumped out.

In the court, only Prime Minister Liu Quyu remained!

The so-called lonely palm is difficult to speak.

Huo Guang directly took the 1,000 Yulin army secretly transferred to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and arrested the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister's House.

Liu Quyu didn't realize at this time that the matter of his conspiracy with Li Guangli to promote the crown prince had already happened, and when he saw Huo Guang leading troops to break in, he pointed at him and shouted: "Huo Guang, you are just a councilor, dare to lead troops to break into the prime minister's mansion?" ”

Huo Guang snorted lightly, and ordered directly: "Come on, arrest the rebellious minister and thief Liu Quyu for me, dare to resist, and kill him directly!" ”

As soon as Liu Quyu heard this, he immediately shouted: "I see who dares, this prime minister is the prime minister personally appointed by His Majesty, and he is the head of the three dukes." ”

"Huo Guang, what evidence do you have to arrest Prime Minister Ben?"

"I want to meet Your Majesty!"

Huo Guang snorted softly: "Liu Quyu, how did a person like you become the prime minister?" ”

"I dare to arrest you, I have His Majesty's hand!"

"As for the evidence?"

"Hmph, for your murder of the former prince, Ben Yilang already has some physical evidence. Then, you also plotted with Li Guangli to rebel against Liu Ji, the king of Changyi. ”

"You're so daring!"

Li Guangli and Liu Quyu privately plotted to make Liu Ji the crown prince.

It was supposed to be a royal affair.

But these courtiers actually intervened, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rebelling.

Rebel!

The death penalty shall be punished for the whole clan.

But after all, Liu Quyu is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan.

So it's enough to punish his whole family.

When Huo Guang asked Prime Minister Liu Quyu to be arrested and imprisoned.

In the palace, an edict was suddenly issued to him.

"In July of the third year of Zhenghe, the Han Emperor said."

"Let Bolu Hou Huo Guang go to Wuyuan quickly, share 70,000 soldiers and horses with Li Guangli with the champion Hou, and escort Li Guangli back to Chang'an, there is no room for error!"

"Chin this!" (End of chapter)
