[Volume 1] Section 196: Crisis

------------

In February 87 AD, Liu Fuling ascended the throne, and the following year it was changed to Shiyuan.

Liu Fuling was just a child, but he sat on the throne of the emperor, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he faced many crises.

His weak body formed a huge contrast with the huge barrier, he was not used to the heavy tassel on his head, the solemn court, Liu Fuling looked extremely unnatural, and looked nervously at the great Sima General Huo Guang from time to time.

Huo Guang's expression was serious, he knew very well that although he held the edict of Emperor Wu in his hand and Liu Fuling had also ascended the throne, it did not mean that the world was peaceful, and there must be a lot of eyes staring at them openly and secretly.

The struggle is not over, but has just begun.

In order to prevent accidents, Huo Guang ate and lived in the palace, stayed all night, worked tirelessly, and took care of the power in the hands of the little emperor.

Huo Guang is beautiful in front of people, and there is also a lot of pain in the back.

In fact, to put it mildly, Emperor Wu's life was very brilliant, but what he left behind was a mess after the glitz, although Emperor Wu recuperated in the last few years, and the people's livelihood recovered, but compared to the best years, it was still a lot worse.

Liu Fuling's daily life also made him feel broken.

Liu Fuling has no queen mother, and the six palaces have no owner. Liu Fuling is a child, the child will inevitably have a child's temper, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he is crying and willful and unreasonable.

Coaxing people is not Huo Guang's strong point.

Huo has a big head, and he can be said to be both a father and a mother. After a while, Huo Guang couldn't bear it.

For this reason, he found Liu Fuling's sister Princess Eyi, crowned her as the eldest princess, known as the eldest princess in history, and entered the palace to take care of Liu Fuling's daily life, which temporarily solved the urgent need for coal.

However, at this time, Huo Guang never imagined that Princess Gai would become his enemy.

Huo Guang expected that Liu Fuling would be dissatisfied with Liu Fuling's accession to the throne, and he also guessed that those who were not convinced would not be far from ten.

Liu Dan, the king of Yan, was very unconvinced.

He is smart, he is brave, and more importantly, he is an adult, but his father wants to pass on the throne to a child, and let the ministers share the power of the Liu family.

Do you think he can be convinced?

He couldn't, so when Emperor Wu's edict reached his Yan Kingdom, he let out the words, "There is a problem with the seal book, the seal paper is small, and the capital may change." ”

Then, he sent people to Chang'an to closely investigate the situation in Chang'an. Later, when the spy reported that the imperial court wanted to give him 300,000 yuan and seal 13,000 households, Liu Dan showed his true colors, "I should be the emperor, why do I want them to give him the seal." ”

Liu Dan not only said, but also did so.

He secretly formed an alliance with the children of some princes and kings, trained troops under the guise of military training, and began his plan to seize power.

Liu Dan's actions naturally couldn't escape Huo Guang's ears and eyes.

Huo Guang is not worried about the situation in the DPRK and China, he has been known for his low-key and steady officialdom in his decades of officialdom, and has almost no political enemies, Prime Minister Tian Qianqiu is an honest man, and the imperial historian Sang Hongyang is much more interested in people's livelihood than power. The other two auxiliary ministers, Jin Riyan is decent and steady, and Shangguan is martial and scheming.

Therefore, what Huo Guang was most worried about was the princes and kings outside, and among the princes and kings, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, was the first to bear the brunt.

But in the face of Liu Dan's misdeeds, Huo Guang can only endure it now.

The time is not yet ripe for action.

Liu Dan secretly plotted a rebellion, and his Lang Zhongcheng encouraged him to say, "As long as the king sends troops, even the women in the country will follow the king." ”

This sycophancy made Liu Dan very happy, and he and his ally Liu Ze passed the letter to the counties, one to rebel and the other to encourage more princes to join.

It is written in the book, "The young emperor is not the son of Emperor Wu, the ministers stand together, and the world condemns him." ”

According to the plan of Liu Dan and others, Liu Ze, the grandson of Liu Jianglu, the king of Qixiao, sent troops to Linzi to kill the Qingzhou assassin Shi Jun Budo, Jun Budo was recommended by the imperial historian of the year, and he was a rare talent, and Liu Ze was very jealous of him.

And Liu Dan recruited outlaws in Yan State, built weapons, practiced soldiers and horses, and waited for the appointment to arrive, and then raised troops to rebel.

There were many officials loyal to the imperial court in Yan who advised Liu Dan, but Liu Dan showed no mercy and killed fifteen people before and after.

Liu Dan was busy in Yan Kingdom, but his ally Liu Ze had already had an accident in Linzi.

Liu Cheng, who is also a member of the royal family, learned of Liu Ze's conspiracy and knew that the matter was very important, so he told the Qingzhou Assassin Shi Jun Budo, Jun Budo immediately made a decision and immediately led troops to arrest Liu Ze.

When Liu Dan learned that Liu Ze had been arrested, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to act rashly.

Jun Budo reported the matter to the imperial court.

Huo Guang quickly responded and sent Da Honglu Cheng to the State of Qi to investigate, and the conclusion of the investigation directly pointed to Liu Dan, the king of Yan.

Da Honglu Cheng can't be the master, so he can only report the matter to the top.

In front of Huo Guang is another difficult problem, Liu Dan's rebellion is already ironclad, the evidence is conclusive, according to the national law and family law, they should be executed. But Huo Guang knew very well in his heart that once King Yan was executed, the situation behind would be more difficult to determine, and if it was not handled properly, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms at the time of Emperor Jing might have to reappear.

King Yan is the brother of the Son of Heaven, if he Huo Guang executes the brother of the Son of Heaven as soon as he comes to power, it will inevitably attract the distrust of the princes of the world. But leaving King Yan is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it will definitely be a future trouble in the future.

It's a real headache.

"Liu Dan, why didn't Emperor Daxing take you away."

Huo Guang scolded in his heart, but the decision came out of his mouth.

He believes that King Yan is the emperor's closest relative and can be exempted from treatment.

As soon as this proposal came out, the ministers exchanged heads, allowing many ministers to see Huo Guang's old scheming.

For the current emperor and several auxiliary ministers, this is indeed the best way, to treat the dissatisfaction of the princes and kings with the benevolence and righteousness of the court, and to block the leisurely mouth of those with ill intentions.

Huo Guang also wanted to use this to explain to the princes of the world that he was not wrong back then, and he would not make the mistake he made back then.

The conclusion of the imperial court on Liu Dan's rebellion case was that Liu Ze and others were beheaded, and Liu Dan was regarded as a close relative of the Son of Heaven and would not be investigated.

Liu Dan sulked, but he still did not give up the idea of rebellion, but his rebellion strategy changed.

Huo Guang saw the undoubted talent of Qingzhou Thorn Shi in this matter, and specially promoted him to Jing Zhaoyin, who was in charge of Chang'an.

Jun Budo's arrival helped Huo Guang a lot, Jun Budo was known for his leniency in the harshest era of official governance, and he was no worse than cool officials in governing the place.

His coming to Chang'an also reversed the situation of Chang'an's cool officials.

Shi Zai, when he went to the county to handle a case, his mother would ask him, "How many □□?" How many have you lived? As soon as Jun Budo said that most of the □□ were true, his mother was very happy. And when Jun Budo said that there was no □□, his mother was so angry that she couldn't eat.

As soon as Jun Budo came, the grievances of the people in Chang'an City were resolved a lot, and the unstable situation of the people in the capital gradually changed.

Therefore, Huo Guang can finally show his strength in governing the country and clean up the mess left by Emperor Wu.
