Chapter 190: Huo Guang is a bad guy, and I and the queen mother are good guys (ask for subscription)
In the Qingliang Palace, Yu Wuwu came in in a hurry, because he was in a hurry, he didn't even wait for someone to pass on the rumors and entered the hall.
In the past few days, Liu He listened to Huo Guang's arrangement, and went deep and simple, except for discussing papermaking and printing with Shaofu Lecheng, he almost never saw other ministers.
In the final analysis, it is to avoid suspicion.
However, he doesn't seem to care about the world, but he still gets news from the outside world through Yu Wuwu and Wang Ji every day.
So, although there is a bit of a lag, I still have a good understanding of the situation.
Seeing the usually steady Yu Wuwu breaking in, Liu He knew that something big had happened.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu He asked.
"A Confucian student died in Beique, and the people who came with him were in chaos, and Yu Linlang had already done it."
Liu He's face sank.
When it was decided to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple number, Liu He thought that it would not be smooth sailing.
It's inevitable that something will make a mess.
However, what Liu He didn't expect was that there would be a result of the siege of Weiyang Palace in the end.
Even in the past few days, when those few doctors took the lead in "forcing the palace", Liu He also thought that they would eventually know the difficulty.
In today's situation, even if Liu He doesn't want to accept it, he has to accept it.
"What's going on with Beique now?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, those chaotic people will collapse at the first touch, with Guangluxun present and sitting in battle, there are not too many casualties."
There weren't too many dead and wounded, that is, there were still dead and wounded.
"Why did the situation change abruptly, didn't the general say that those people were hired by others for money, why would they work so hard?"
"Xia Guan is far away, and I can't really see it, but it seems that someone is taking the lead."
Liu He felt more and more suspicious.
Liu He has never experienced such a thing, but he has seen a lot.
The real culprit must not be the dead and wounded, or even Xiahou Jian.
For some reason, Liu He suspected Huo Guang's head.
Is it possible that Huo Guang directed and acted himself?
But Liu He didn't say anything more in front of Yu Wuwu, he was no longer on the scene, and there was no way to check it.
I hope that Zhang Anshi can control the situation and not let Beique be smeared with too much blood.
Liu He understands that with Huo Guang's character, this matter will definitely be cut to the roots.
Presumably, Chang'an in the past few days may not have a peaceful future.
Even if things settle down, there will be a long tail to deal with.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
Liu He finally understood this truth.
However, Liu He did not regret making the decision to give Emperor Xiaowu the number of the temple.
If you're worried about something going wrong, don't do anything.
Liu He thought for a long time before he said to Yu Wuwu: "Bring a pen, I want to prepare an edict to pardon Xiahou Sheng and others in advance." ”
"Yui!"
Huo Guang is a bad guy, so Liu He has to be prepared to be a good person.
And Liu He also wants to bring the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and the mother and son will be good people together.
With the assistance of Yu Wuwu, an edict pardoning Xiahou Sheng and all virtuous literature was quickly drafted.
This edict has not yet been stamped with the emperor's seal, so it has no effect.
It's just a prop: a prop for acting in front of the Queen Mother and Huo Guang.
After drying the ink, Liu He checked again and again, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, he handed over the edict to Yu Wuwu's hands.
"Immediately take this edict to Changle Palace, hand it over to the Queen Mother, and tell the Queen Mother that I can't bear to see the people suffering, and I decided to pardon Xiahou Sheng and others a few days later, hoping that the Queen Mother can help from the side and accompany me."
If the son wants to do something, the mother should naturally support it.
"Presumably, the Queen Mother will naturally understand my intentions after reading my edict."
On that day in Changle Palace, Liu He said that he would give Emperor Xiaowu a temple number, so as to fulfill Emperor Xiaozhao's long-cherished wish.
The Queen Mother expressed at the time that she would support it from the side.
Now that the matter of going to the temple has been completed, it is time for the queen to help clean up the aftermath.
Yu Wuwu didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed to Changle Palace.
When he went, he deliberately came out of Weiyang Palace from Beique.
The entire Beique has been cleaned up, except for the three or five hundred Lin Lang stationed here, there are only a few slaves holding buckets and scrubbing the blood stains on the ground.
I don't know how many people died in the turmoil just now.
Yu Wuwu saw Zhang Anshi from a distance, and wanted to go over to ask about the situation, but he recognized Huo Yu who was wearing dark armor next to him.
Afraid that he would arouse suspicion, he didn't go over, rode straight east, and rushed to Changle Palace.
Galloping on the east-west city street, Yu Wuwu noticed that the surrounding guards were particularly tight, and there were many more pavilions patrolling the city than before, and at the intersection of several streets, additional gate guards were also arranged.
In fact, in places where Yu Wuwu can't see, the situation is even more turbulent and complicated.
Almost all of the doctors, scholars, and pawns of the peddlers who were involved in this matter were arrested.
After a simple identification of their identities, they were all put into prison that matched their identity.
As for those who escaped, if they were ordinary people, they would naturally not be pursued.
If it was a Confucian student, where he lived would have been found out by Huo Guang and others.
Zhi Jinwu first ordered the major city gates of Chang'an to be closed, and then according to the map, no one escaped.
Under the actions of all the violent machines in Chang'an City, a seemingly huge civil unrest was completely suppressed after only half a day.
……
Yu Wuwu came to Changle Palace as quickly as possible, met the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and sent the edict drawn up by the Son of Heaven to the Empress Dowager Shangguan.
Empress Dowager Shangguan read it carefully, and suddenly felt a little surprised in her heart.
On that day, the county official just said that he wanted to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple number, although the Empress Dowager Shangguan had some shocks, but she didn't care.
After all, it was very difficult for Emperor Xiaozhao to do this back then.
Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven, who had been on the throne for a few months, really did this thing.
What is even more commendable is the opposition of the court, the persecution of virtuous literature, and even the so-called popular ...... did not let the Son of Heaven take back the edict.
The Empress Dowager Shangguan couldn't help but look at the Son of Heaven in a different light.
"That's it?" The Empress Dowager Shangguan still asked with some disbelief.
"A few days ago, the edict for Emperor Xiaowu to go to the temple has been sent to Chang'an City, and in a few days it will be sent to other counties and subject countries of the Han Dynasty."
Sending the edict to the counties meant that there was no possibility of any further changes.
"In this matter, the emperor has done a good job, I am very pleased, presumably the first emperor and the emperor Xiaowu will also be pleased." The Empress Dowager Shangguan muttered to herself, as if she had sighed.
"Your Majesty has something to confess to the Queen Mother."
"What?"
"Changxin Shaofu Xiahou Sheng's edict."
The Empress Dowager Shangguan opened the edict again, glanced at it, and said eloquently: "Xiahou Sheng slandered Emperor Xiaowu, and according to the law of the Han Dynasty, he was sentenced to prison at the moment, although he was a Changxin Shaofu, but the prince committed the same crime as the common people, and the emperor did nothing wrong, so there is no need to accuse." ”
After a pause, the Empress Dowager Shangguan continued: "The emperor wants to pardon Xiahou Sheng and others, and the pardon is enough, this move can reflect Your Majesty's benevolence." ”
"Your Majesty thinks so too, but I'm afraid that the general will be suspicious, so I want to discuss it with the Queen Mother......" Yu Wuwu hesitated.
"Well, Yu Langzhong said it doesn't hurt."
"Your Majesty wants the Queen Mother to first plead for Changxin Shaofu, and then Your Majesty will push the boat down the river and issue an edict to pardon Xiahou Sheng, so that the general will not be able to refuse again."
One sings red-faced, the other white-faced.
The mother and son duo acted together in a double reed play.
