[Vol. 1] Section 208: The Fall of the Holmes 1

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

In the spring of the second year of the Earth Festival (67 BC), that day finally came.

The screaming crow seemed to have foreseen the day coming, and settled on the roof of the majestic house for four or five days, babbling and babbling to the dismay.

In a luxurious bedroom in the big house, there were kneeling people, and most of the people inside looked tired, accompanied by small sobs from time to time, thinking that they were tired of crying, and their tears had dried up.

Looking at it, the old man lying □□ his teeth was already dry, wrinkled, and lifeless. Only the occasional lifting of his eyelids proved that he was still alive.

Why is he still holding on? What does he seem to be waiting for?

"It's coming, it's coming."

There was a sudden sonorous noise outside the house, and the sobbing people seemed to have already held their breath and wept unwillingly.

The car outside the house finally stopped, and when the people in the car came out, everyone knelt down in unison and said with a cry, "Welcome Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xun was also anxious, he looked anxious, and strode towards the house.

He never came out of the Yang Palace, and he didn't care how many ministers followed him, and urged the carriage to go fast several times, but he was afraid that he would be one step too late and not see the last side of the great Sima general Bo Lu Hou Huo Guang.

Huo Guang has been loyal to the country for 20 years, although the autocratic power is no less than that of any powerful minister in the past and present, he has also many times for personal gain, and even deposed the king without permission, but no one will deny that he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a Zhongxing hero of the Han Dynasty.

Even if he didn't remember his credit for helping Liu Xun get on the horse, it was necessary for Liu Xun to give him a ride.

When Liu Xun stepped into Huo Guang's bedroom, everyone else respectfully retreated.

When Liu Xun leaned over and sat on Huo Guang's sickbed, he saw that Bo Luhou, who had infinite scenery in the past, was now drooping and old, with a thin face, and Liu Xun's nose was sour.

A person, no matter how noble his birth is, no matter how powerful his ability, is so weak in the face of death.

Liu Xun held Huo Guang's hand, and Huo Guang's eyelids were raised weakly.

When he saw that it was Liu Xun, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, and made a sound, but he didn't want to, he couldn't even speak.

It can be seen that Huo Guang's face is a little anxious, he used all his strength to speak, but he still couldn't make a sound.

Liu Xun looked at it and hurriedly said, "General, I understand what you mean. You are good to live and recuperate, and you will assist me in the future. ”

Huo Guang sighed, and finally gave up his efforts to speak.

He looked at Liu Xun worriedly.

Liu Xun burst into tears, nodded and said, "General, don't worry, I will take good care of your family." ”

Huo Guang used his last strength to nod with difficulty.

He suddenly stopped looking at Liu Xun, but slowly raised his other hand, as if he was beckoning to someone, and seemed to see something.

His hands trembled and lifted to a height of half a foot, and finally he fell hard.

A generation of powerful ministers and famous ministers Huo Guang died like this.

Bolu Hou Huo Guang, serving as the general of the Great Sima, assisted three generations of monarchs, with his personal wisdom, set things right, curbed the decline of the Han Dynasty's national fortunes, created the Zhaoxuan Dynasty, ranked first among the eleven ministers of the Emperor Xuan Qilin Pavilion, he was an outstanding politician.

It's a pity that the head of the eleven ministers of the Qilin Pavilion doesn't even have his full name in the cabinet, only "General Sima is surnamed Huo", and he is also the only hero who did not write his full name in the cabinet. Of course, this is Liu Xun's intention, and it is also a punishment for Huo Guang's inability to restrain his family and being too authoritarian.

After Huo Guang's death, according to his last wishes, Huo Yu attacked the lord, named the right general, Sun Huoshan was the marquis, and was named the captain of Che Du, and passed on to Huo Quai.

Liu Xun gave Huo Guang great grief, and gave him the nickname "Xuancheng", and the Empress Dowager and Liu Xun came to the funeral in person.

Although Liu Xun often grieved about Huo Guang's death, in the future, he often missed Huo Guang's benefits, and with him, Liu Xun hardly had to worry about national affairs.

But Liu Xun also deeply understands that Huo Guang's death is not a bad thing for himself.

After six or seven years as an emperor, only now has he finally tasted the true taste of being an emperor. In the past, when Huo Guang was there, most of the pieces passed through Huo Guang's hands first, and when they were sent to Liu Xun's hands, Huo Guang had already made instructions, and all he had to do was to take out the emperor's jade seal and stamp it with a seal, and many times he didn't even need to read the content.

But fortunately, Liu Xun grew up in the people since he was a child, and his desire for power is not very strong, so there is not too much unpeace in his mentality.

The only explanation for all this is that God bless the Han, and there should be a prosperous era of Zhaoxuan.

As soon as Huo Guang died, Wei Xiang, the imperial historian, saw that the Huo family was left behind, so he wrote a letter to remind Liu Xun to be more disciplined, and at the same time recommended Zhang Anshi, the general of the chariot cavalry, as the general of the Great Sima.

Wei Xiang is not a person who welcomes the horse, on the contrary, he is an iron-clad minister.

Wei Xiang, the word weak Weng, Dingtao people, he entered the scholar with virtue and virtue, and was appointed as the Maoling Order. Many years later, he was appointed as the Taishou of Henan, and during the reign of Henan, he cracked down on the strong and treacherous, and won the hearts of the people in Henan County. The second son of the old prime minister Tian Qianqiu served as the commander of the arsenal in Luoyang, and was intimidated by the majesty of Wei Xiang, so he resigned and fled back to Chang'an, and sued Wei Xiang in front of Huo Guang. Huo Guangben had a good relationship with Tian Qianqiu, but this time he was blinded, thinking that Wei Xiang was narrow-minded, so he wrote a book to reprimand.

Wei Xiang was convinced that he was not afraid of crooked shadows, and did not write to refute it. He can still eat and sleep. Unexpectedly, a wave was not settled, and a wave rose again. The person who Wei Xiang offended in Henan County went to Chang'an to sue him again, saying that Lord Wei abused lynching.

When Huo Guang heard this, he remembered that Wei Xiang didn't take him seriously at all before, but now that he had committed something, he naturally had to rectify it.

Soon, under Huo Guang's orders, poor Lord Wei was arrested in Chang'an and thrown into prison, waiting for the next trial.

The news of Lord Wei's imprisonment immediately spread throughout the people of Henan County who worked in Chang'an.

Do they know that Lord Wei is an absolutely good official, and they all say that good officials are hard to find, how can the people see good officials being wronged? In the absence of people's organization, the soldiers and servants of Henan County in Beijing intercepted Huo Guang on his way to defend Wei Xiang, even if they were to serve a year of labor for one more year to redeem Lord Wei.

Huo Guang could only persuade him with good words, and everyone dispersed. He returned to the mansion in confusion, and sent an urgent report from the officials of Hangu Pass, which said that tens of thousands of Henan fathers and elders had come to Hangu Pass to petition for Wei Xiang.

Huo Guang could only reply with the undetermined guilt of Lord Wei. However, Lord Wei was not released from prison by Huo Guang, Huo Guang meant to make him suffer a little and let him know the consequences of being disrespectful to the boss.

Lord Wei received an amnesty from Emperor Zhao, was released from prison, and was reappointed as the Maoling Order, and later went to Yangzhou to assassinate the history. Liu Xun ascended the throne, was recruited as a great farmer, and within a few years he was promoted to the imperial historian.

As soon as Huo Guang died, he pointed out in his book that the Huo family was too arrogant. People who don't know what to do will think that Wei Xiang is venting his personal anger, and even Liu Xun has this kind of consideration.

But Liu Xun also knew that what Wei Xiang was referring to had something to do, but at this time, it was not the time to do it, but he could only add officials to the descendants of the Huo family to stabilize people's hearts.

As for Wei Xiang's recommendation of Zhang Anshi as a general, it was exactly what he wanted. Liu Xun's sixth or seventh year emperor was not in vain, he had already seen that the imperial court had not revolved around the three princes and nine kings for many years, but around the great general Sima of the Inner Dynasty.

Therefore, the position of General Sima will not be brought into the coffin by Huo Guang, and at this time of power alternation, its selection is very important for the stability of the court.

Covering all the important ministers of the imperial court, only Zhang Anshi, the general of the chariot cavalry, who is known as the second eldest in the imperial court, has the strength to control the overall situation.

The edict of appointment was issued to Zhang Anshi, who refused in every possible way, and finally only accepted the title of the general of the Great Sima Che Cavalry.

At the same time as appointing Zhang Anshi, in order to stabilize the children of the Huo family, Liu Xun sealed Huo Shan to serve as the commander of the Che Du.

This decision once again shows Liu Xun's cleverness.

Lingshangshi is not a noble position, but it has a very important role. Because its duty is to upload the recital, the officials and the people generally have two copies, before the emperor reads the copy will be read by the Shangshu first, if the copy is inappropriate, it will be suppressed, to be approved by the ministers first or pressed.

In this way, Lingshang is very important in many cases, such as receiving a terrifying recital, he can be the first to hear the wind and make countermeasures.

Liu Xun's appointment of Huo Shan Lingshang is nothing more than to tell the children of the Huo family, you see, I have given you the position of managing Yanlu to your Huo family, which shows my trust in you. What else do you have to worry about?

Liu Xun had good intentions, but he didn't want the result to fuel the arrogance of the Huo family's disciples.

Wei didn't understand Liu Xun's approach, he made up his mind to keep an eye on Huo Guang's unscrupulous descendants, if the Lingshang Scholar was occupied by Huo Shan, how could he send Huo's recital? Maybe you'll be retaliated against?

Wei was deeply worried about this.

He approached Xu Guanghan, the abbot of the country, and hoped that he could perform a book for him, with the aim of changing the old system of Lingshang Shushi being able to read copies.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xun agreed, and gave Wei Xiang an additional official, and Wei Xiang became the imperial historian in the matter, and held important positions in both the internal and external dynasties.

As soon as the news came out, the Huo family panicked.
