Chapter 209: The Fall of the Huo Clan 2

[Vol. 1] Section 209: The Fall of the Hawks 2

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

To be precise, it was Huo Guang's โ–กโ–ก Mrs. Huo panicked, and Mrs. Huo hurriedly summoned her son Huo Yu, grandson Huo Yun, and Huo Shan.

"You unscrupulous descendants, eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, now that Dr. Wei is in charge, you are not afraid of him chewing your tongue."

"Mother, I'll be afraid of him?"

"Yes, grandma, just that stupid old man, our brothers pinched him to death like an ant."

"Yes, mother, don't worry."

Although several brothers didn't care, they still agreed that it was necessary to warn Wei Xiang and let him keep his mouth clean. Of course, they don't have a clever plan, but they do have the means to do the next three things.

A few days later, the house slaves of the Huo family had a dispute with Wei Xiang's house slaves, and the house slaves of the Huo family were indeed domineering, and they actually rushed into the Imperial History Mansion, destroyed a lot of furniture, and scolded non-stop.

In order to calm down the situation as soon as possible, Wei Xiang could only make a compromise and let his subordinates kowtow.

This matter has caused a lot of trouble, and even Liu Xun has learned that although he is unhappy for Wei Xiang, he doesn't want to make a big deal about it, after all, the mansion of the Imperial Doctor was disturbed by a group of subordinates, and it is not a glorious thing. Moreover, Liu Xun also has some scruples about the Huo family, in addition to Huo Yu, Huo Yun, Huo Shan, the relatives and friends of the Huo family all occupy various key positions, and there are also their children in the army, if you want to punish them, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

However, as the imperial historian of the imperial court, he was humiliated, and he, as the emperor, could not help but uphold justice.

He decided to compensate Dr. Wei in other ways.

The current prime minister, Wei Xian, has told him several times that he is old and should retire, but Liu Xun has not agreed, and his latest excerpt of returning to his hometown was still pressed on his dragon case.

Liu Xun turned it out at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, Wei Xian is eighty years old this year, and it is indeed difficult for him to continue to serve as prime minister. Strictly speaking, Wei Xian is not a capable official, he is a great Confucian, good at learning, when Huo Guang asked him to take over the class of the former Prime Minister Cai Yi, he just hoped that he would not be troubled and be a good man.

Wei Xian did live up to Huo Guang's expectations, this old man really didn't cause much trouble, and Tiantian was like a doctor, not a prime minister.

After Liu Xun thought about it carefully, he wrote the word "can" on Wei Xian's recital when he mentioned the imperial pen, and allowed Wei Xian to give advice, which also started from Wei Xian, and the Han Dynasty had a system of prime ministers.

Prime Minister Wei resigned, and his successor was naturally Dr. Wei. The imperial historian is served by Liu Xun's benefactor Bingji, plus Yu Dingguo, who has been serving as a court lieutenant for many years, and the three dukes can be said to be Liu Xun's cronies.

If Huo Yu and other Huo clan disciples had a little brain, he would be able to see that the wind direction of the imperial court had changed, and he, the right general, could only have no real power in the future.

However, Huo Yu and the others really don't have this IQ, and they didn't think of the next step.

Not only did they not know how to restrain themselves, but they intensified their efforts.

Huo Guang's โ–กโ–ก Mrs. Huo not only lived a luxurious life, but also blatantly fornicated with others. Huo Yu and Huo Shan are buying mansions in a big way, and Nuoda's mansion can go away. Huo Yun was even more lawless, not only did he often skip work to hunt, but what was even more desperate was that he asked his house slaves to go to court for him, which became a big joke in Chang'an.

Aren't you saying you're joking with Liu Xun?

Liu Xun felt that his face could not be put aside.

He was silent on the surface, but secretly he began to move.

He treated the Huo family like this, in fact, he was grateful for Huo Guang's merits, and his entrustment before his death made him unable to do it for a while, but Chaogang is Chaogang after all, how can he allow others to blaspheme like this?

Liu Xun is not taboo about Huo Yu, Huo Yun's few unsuccessful descendants of the Huo family, he is taboo about the generals in charge of the army among the Huo family's relatives.

Liu Xun was the first to move, Fan Youming.

Fan Youming is Huo Guang's son-in-law, the Marquis of Fengping Ling, the current general of Duliao, and the captain of Weiyang. Liu Xun reappointed him as Guangluxun and deprived him of his military power.

Fan Youming hasn't come back to his senses yet, Liu Xun's second appointment edict has come down again, Huo Guang's second son-in-law, Zhonglang General, Yulin Supervisor Ren Sheng is stable and too guarded.

This is not the end, Liu Xun continued his movements.

Huo Guang's sister's son-in-law gave the matter, and Guanglu's doctor Zhang Shuo was released from Shu County. Huo Guangsun's son-in-law, Zhonglang, released Wang Han to Wuwei Taishou. Huo Guang's eldest son-in-law, Changle Weiwei, was reappointed as Shaofu. The son-in-law Zhao Ping's cavalry lieutenant military power seal was also withdrawn, and the special person Guangluxun was honored.

Liu Xun was not stable enough, so he changed Zhang Anshi to be the captain of the two palaces, in charge of the northern and southern armies of Chang'an. The other vacated positions were filled by the children of the Xu and Shi families.

Of course, Liu Xun is not unkind, he specially appointed Huo Yu as the big Sima.

However, this big Sima is very different from his father's big Sima, because in addition to the same name, the power is very different, Huo Yu, the big Sima, doesn't even have a ribbon, let alone any power.

To put it bluntly, this big Sima is fooling Huo Yu.

Liu Xun can finally sleep peacefully, because in his opinion, the Huo family no longer poses any threat to the country.

In fact, as long as the Huo family has been restrained from now on, there should be no problem with glory and wealth.

But that's not the case.

In April of the third year of the Dijie (67 BC), Liu Zheng became the crown prince. When Mrs. Huo heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't even eat, she said, "Liu Zheng is a civil son, how can he stand? If the queen has a son, is it the king's evil? โ€

This actually wanted to repeat her old trick and ordered someone to assassinate and kill Liu Zheng. It's just that Liu Xun deliberately strengthened his vigilance after the death of Empress Xu and did not let Mrs. Huo succeed.

In the fourth year of the festival (66 BC), Huo Yu, Huo Yun, Huo Shan and others gathered together for a long sigh.

Huo Shan said worriedly, "Now that the prime minister is in trouble, the county official (referring to Liu Xun) believes in it, and the law of the general has all been replaced." Moreover, the Confucian scholars liked to speak wildly, but they did not shy away from it, and the generals often scoffed at it. Your Majesty likes to be with Confucian scholars, and they talk a lot about my family's mistakes, and they once say that my brothers are arrogant. There are still rumors circulating that "my family poisoned Queen Xu". Hmph, you said these people with poisonous tongues..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huo Shan's words fell, Mrs. Huo jumped out anxiously.

"Shan'er, who are you listening to?"

"On the streets, wineries, teahouses, everywhere."

Mrs. Huo sat down, seeing her expression, Huo Yu, Huo Yun, Huo Shan, etc. were very confused, I look at you, you look at me, Huo Yu asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" โ€

"Oh, it's bad, it's bad..."

"Mother, you can make it clear, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Huo stomped her feet anxiously, and she said, "Empress Xu really called the female doctor for her mother to poison her!" โ€

"What?!" Huo Yu and the others were stunned.

A few teacups in the lobby were shattered on the ground, and Huo Shan even squirted out the tea he drank.
