Chang'an City is more than 1,000 miles away from Changyi Kingdom, but it is more than 2,000 miles away from Guangling Kingdom.

Liu He learned of the news of the Son of Heaven on April 26, and Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, did not receive the news of the Son of Heaven until ten days later.

At that time, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, was ecstatic in his heart, and he thought that the witch Li Nuxu he had found from Chu had finally succeeded and killed the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Xu received the edict issued by the imperial court, he ordered him to pack his bags with great fanfare and prepare to enter Beijing to ascend the throne.

It seems that the throne of Chang'an City is already within reach.

However, the edict that allowed him to ascend the throne could not wait, and neither could the right.

When he was anxious, the subordinate officials of Guangling Mansion who stayed in Chang'an finally sent a secret report - the person who was chosen as the Son of Heaven was not the King of Guangling, but the yellow-mouthed child Liu He.

At that moment, Liu Xu jumped like thunder, and in a fit of rage, he actually drew a knife and killed a bear he raised.

However, no matter how angry they are, there is no way, whether it is Liu Xu or Liu He, there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion in the feudal country.

The edict that came first was very clearly written - the guards and lieutenants of each county and state must stick to the danger, and the princes and kings must not leave the feudal country without the edict.

Whether it is Guangling or Changyi, the prime minister and lieutenant are all officials appointed by the court, and they will not obey the orders of the princes and kings at all.

In this era, the rebellion of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty was almost an impossible thing to succeed.

According to common sense, the princes and kings were able to mobilize less than 300 domestic slaves - not to mention rebellion, even if they exterminated a large number of bandits and water bandits.

Therefore, no matter how angry Liu Xu is, he can't move.

The dizzy King of Guangling had no other way but to pin his hopes on Li Nuxu, hoping that she could once again show her might and kill the new son of heaven with a witchcraft spell.

However, more than ten days later, on June 15, the Tingwei Mansion in Chang'an sent people.

Together with Guangling Xiang and Lieutenant Guangling, they led their troops to break into the palace of Guangling, and after a large-scale raid, they captured the witch Li Nuxu and set up a puppet to perform witchcraft.

When Li Nusu was taken away from the Guangling Palace, Liu Xu understood that everything was over.

From that day on, the palace of Guangling was tightly surrounded.

All those who enter and leave are to be carefully examined.

Liu Xu could only drink in the palace day and night, singing every night to numb himself.

Liu Xu lived angrily and fearfully, knowing that the siege of the palace was just the beginning.

An even more terrible punishment awaited him.

Therefore, the moment Liu Xu saw Liu Anmin, he knew that the punishment of the Son of Heaven was coming.

It's just that he can still be angry.

"The widow remembers very clearly, a year ago, when the widow went to Chang'an to offer gold, he personally told the widow in Guangling Mansion that if the son of heaven collapsed without an heir, he would raise the power of the Liu clan to push the widow to the throne, why did he end up without faith?"

King Guangling said this, laughed coldly, and then said: "Was he bought by Huo Guang, or was he frightened by Huo Guang, he reversed his word, and it was simply defiling the bloodline of the Liu family!" ”

Liu Anmin listened to Liu Xu's accusations against his father, and his face did not change until the other party finished speaking, and then he said: "My father never said that he would help King Guangling ascend the throne, what my father said was that he would let the heir of Emperor Xiaowu, who is most suitable for ascending the throne, ascend to the throne." ”

"Hmph, the widow is the only son of Emperor Xiaowu, isn't he the most suitable candidate?" King Guangling looked at Liu Anmin with eyes that looked at everything and said, as if he was going to eat him alive in the next moment.

"On that day, above the court, my father had already elected the king of Guangling, and the hundred officials had no objections, but there was a Lang official who wrote a letter, saying that the king of Guangling was not virtuous and should not be established as the emperor, which left Huo Guang with a truth."

"Huo Guang, this is ......" The expression on Liu Xu's face was even more distorted, and the foul words in his stomach were about to spew out.

"Huo Guang, this is very accurate!" Liu Anmin suddenly raised his voice, and the voice that suddenly erupted suppressed the voice of King Guangling.

"Especially this witch Gu matter is the best evidence that King Guangling has no virtue," Liu Anmin continued, "Although the Son of Heaven has no experience in governing and has no words and deeds, but in the past month, he has advanced and retreated in the court, and he is ten thousand times stronger than King Guangling, and he will not do witch Gu things." ”

"My father said that today's Son of Heaven is the most suitable Son of Heaven for the Han Dynasty, and the clan relatives only look forward to the Son of Heaven."

"You...... How dare you ......"

"King Guangling received the edict." Liu Anmin didn't care about Liu Xu's anger at all, he took out the edict of the Son of Heaven and slowly unfolded it.

"Is King Guangling trying to rebel?" Liu Anmin said to Liu Xu, who didn't understand how to stand, "When I came, the Son of Heaven said that if you still admit that you are the son of Emperor Xiaowu, and you also admit that you are the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, you should kneel down to receive the edict." ”

It is not a consultative tone, but a commanding tone; This not only represents the remarks of Huangkou Xiaoer, but also represents the collective will of the Han Empire.

In front of the huge empire, Liu Xu is like a praying mantis blocking the car.

Once Liu Xu refuses, then Liu Anmin will wave his hand, and then, the material officials outside the palace will rush in and escort Liu Xu all the way to Chang'an and put him in prison. In the Guangling Palace, everyone will also be killed.

Liu Xu gritted his teeth, but finally knelt down in the dormitory.

"Guangling Wang Xu, behavior is crazy, disloyal and unfilial, when Emperor Xiaowu was there, he said that he was immoral and incompetent, coinciding with the collapse of Emperor Xiaozhao and the heir of the Son of Heaven, he actually colluded with the witch of Chu in the palace, and the book of witches, his heart can be punished, and his actions can be killed......"

"I remember that he is the son of Emperor Xiaowu and my uncle, and I can't bear to be severely punished...... The special order is secluded in the palace of Guangling, introspection and self-examination, and no edict is allowed to leave the palace......"

"The witch Li Nu must bewitch the crowd and kill!"

"Guangling Gong Lang Zhong ordered the guards to be not strict, kill!"

"The king of Guangling has not fulfilled the duty of teaching, kill!"

"King Guangling's servants know and don't report it, kill!"

"Fifteen officials of Guangling Wang Lang did not carry out the duty of admonishment, kill!"

……

Liu Anmin read expressionlessly, and the heads had already fallen to the ground.

Liu Xu has the blood of his ancestors, so he naturally can't move, but these subordinate officials are going to kill a "head rolling"!

In this dormitory, it seems that there is already a bloody aura......

The list was very long, and it took a long time for Liu Anmin to finish reading the edict in a calm and indifferent tone, and Liu Xu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble.

Not rejoicing, not joy, but hatred that goes deep into the bones.

However, the overall situation has been decided, and now it is impossible to turn it over.

"Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, do you want to take the edict?"

Liu Xu can't help but accept the invitation, otherwise there will be more names on the blood-stained edict.

"Minister...... The edict ......"

Liu Anmin walked in front of Liu Xu, put the edict in Liu Xu's hand one step away, and then stepped back, he was still a little worried that Liu Xu would act recklessly.

But fortunately, Liu Xu didn't stand up and do anything drastic, and he didn't even look up at Liu Anmin.

This time, there were many people who came to Guangling from Chang'an, and when they were in Chang'an, Zongzheng Temple checked things with the Tingwei Mansion clearly, and the edict was drawn up in advance.

Liu Anmin's duty is only to pass on the edict, and as for other things, he has Guangling Xiang and Tingwei to do it.

After making sure that everything was fine, Liu Anmin walked out of the main hall, he wanted to return to Chang'an immediately, and give advice to his father on the matter of the Son of Heaven's choice of concubine - when he set off, Liu De had already said that he must find some trouble for Huo Guang.

Liu Anmin left, and the door of the palace was closed again by the material officials guarding outside the mold gate.

The rain outside the house was even heavier, and the continuous raindrops smashed on the roof tiles of the main hall, making a crackling sound.

If Liu He was here, he would definitely say an elegant "big bead and small bead falling on the jade plate", and then attract a faint appreciation from Yu Wuwu.

But the reckless man Liu Xu didn't have such a Yaxing, he stood up and looked at the silk book in his hand.

Without a moment's hesitation, he used a pair of big hands that could fight with the bear and tiger to shreds the silk book and threw it everywhere in the palace.

"Liu He Xiao'er, Liu De's old man, Huo Guang's old horseman, the widow is the son of Emperor Xiaowu, and he will never be so insulted by you and others!"

The officials outside the hall suddenly heard a sound like the roar of a wild beast coming from the hall, and they all looked sideways, but none of them dared to approach.

For more than a month, they had long known what kind of violent virtue this King Guangling was, and entering at this moment was tantamount to asking for their own death.

The rain in Guangling is still falling, and I'm afraid it won't stop for a long time.
