Chapter 308: Your Majesty's Iron Chains Strangled the Old Man's Neck! (Ask for subscription)
Huo Guang let out a long sigh, and the court dispute that had passed five or six years flashed in his mind.
At that time, Shangguan Ji and Liu Dan, the king of Yanra, repeatedly wrote to slander Huo Guang as guilty, and Emperor Xiaozhao not only did not believe it, but became closer to Huo Guang and alienated Shangguan Ji's father and son, which laid a foreshadowing for Huo Guang to later send troops to quell the rebellion.
"Madam, Emperor Xiaozhao at that time trusted the old man, and now the Son of Heaven is not on the old man's side."
Yes, the biggest difference between now and then is that the righteousness of the Son of Heaven is not on Huo Guang's side.
Back then, on one side was Yan Ra Wang Dan plus Guan Ji and Sang Hong Yang, and on the other side was Huo Guang.
In the end, Huo Guang was able to win, and the biggest factor was that Emperor Xiaozhao unconditionally trusted Huo Guang, so that Huo Guang had great righteousness, and he could use great righteousness to mobilize the power of the Han Empire.
With the Han Empire behind Huo Guangdian, no matter how much Shangguan Ji and Shangguan An's father and son conspired, they were just mayflies shaking trees.
But the situation now is completely reversed from the situation of the day.
Putting aside the people's backs, Cai Yi and Zhang Anshi and others have the "backing" of the Son of Heaven behind them.
As a loyal servant of the number one man, he can only be at a disadvantage.
This is the root cause of Huo Guang's increasing feeling of suffocation.
"Madam, now it seems that the old man mistook the county official."
"You and I thought that the county magistrate was just confused for a moment and did this wrong thing, but in fact, ...... Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the county officials may not be able to repent overnight. ”
This simple truth, once Huo Guang broke it, how could Huo Xian not understand it - even if the Son of Heaven was bewitched by traitors, it was from his heart.
"Husband, do you want to send someone to Yu'er and them to deliver a letter...... Huo Xian asked in a trembling voice.
Huo Guang turned around and looked at Huo Xian with a deep gaze.
Ren Gong said these words once the day before yesterday.
To this day, Huo Guang still doesn't dare to think of this proposal.
Moreover, two more days have passed, and the army does not know where it has moved in the desert.
Even if you want to send a letter, it is not a simple matter; Even if the letter can be delivered, it will not be able to catch the thirst from far away.
Everything is going well, and Tian Shun, the closest to Chang'an, will not be able to return to Chang'an in more than a month at the earliest.
But if it doesn't go well, this move will lead to many bad consequences.
The army's strength is uneven, which is a taboo for soldiers.
As long as a large army retreats without authorization, it is possible to disrupt the entire strategy of the northern expedition against the Xiongnu, and then lead to immeasurable consequences.
Such a lesson happened more than once in the Han Empire.
"The old man has already thought about it, and he can't act like this."
"However, Mingyou and Yu'er are not in Chang'an, and my husband may find it difficult for the county officials to wake up." Huo Xian said.
"Madame, rest assured, the soldiers who surrender without a fight are also good."
"In a few days, several good news from the Han army will come from the front line......"
"At that time, even if this army has not yet returned to the DPRK, it can still be a help for the old man......"
"At that time, the people of the Han Dynasty will naturally know who is the pillar of the court."
"Therefore, the day the good news comes is the day when the county officials come to admit their mistakes."
"What's more, the old man is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and he has never done anything harmful to the Han Dynasty, so the county officials can't kill me."
Although Huo Guang was a little domineering, he did not owe the slightest debt to the Han Dynasty, and he was the most loyal courtier and hero in the court.
Killing courtiers for no reason is something that defies the condemnation of the world, and the Son of Heaven does not dare to do it.
"What does that husband mean, do I have to wait any longer?" Huo Xian asked with some dissatisfaction.
Late will change, and there are too many variables to wait, but now in addition to waiting, Huo Guang doesn't seem to be able to do much.
"The greater the merits of Mingyou, the greater the county official's reliance on the old man, and the Huo family will not be in danger."
Seeing that Huo Xian still wanted to ask, Huo Guang continued: "Madam, be relieved, there is no need to say more about this matter, the old man has his own opinions." ”
Huo Guang's tone of voice was very tough, although Huo Xian wanted to persuade a few more words, but there was no chance to speak, so he could only nod in despair, and watched Huo Guang walk slowly towards the main hall.
When Huo Xian was young, she had seen too many joys and sorrows, which gave her a keen insight into disasters.
Now, she already sensed that a calamity was gradually coming over the Huo family.
However, she was only a woman's family.
Although she can help with advice behind her husband, if the man is really arrogant, she has no way at all.
Now, his husband is like this - arrogant and stubborn, which is not a good thing.
Although what Huo Guang said just now was the Tao, Huo Xian always felt a little uneasy.
I can't let my husband go down this ridiculously wrong path, and I have to help him again.
Thinking of this, Huo Xian had already made a decision in his heart.
She left the main hall and went straight to Chun Yuyan's room.
Just as Chun Yuyan was about to go out, after she saw Huo Xian, she quickly stood up and saluted Huo Xian respectfully and carefully.
"Where are you going?"
"Madame Hui, I am about to pick up my two grandchildren to come to the house." Chun Yuyan said, "They can come to live in the house, it's really a blessing to Mrs. ”
Huo Xian nodded quietly, and said noncommittally: "I came to you today, I have something to tell you." ”
"Tell Madame, I have already arranged the affairs of the Cai family and the Zhang family."
"You are doing this, I am very relieved, I have other things to do with you today." Huo Xian said.
"Madame just commands."
"Write three letters for me."
Huo Xian and Chun Yuyan have similar backgrounds, but the opportunities are very different.
The former climbed the high branches among the great generals and gained glory and enviable power.
The latter followed the famous doctor to work in the folk and learned a superb medical skill and literacy skills.
Huo Xian is suspicious by nature, and he doesn't really believe in those men who forget their righteousness.
When she usually needs to write secret letters, she always comes to Chun Yuyan with a pen.
Chun Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and hurriedly took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it on the table.
Writing a letter is an easy thing to do, at least without violating your conscience and without killing people.
Huo Xian opened his teeth lightly and slowly said the content of the letter.
These three letters were addressed to Pham Minh You, Tian Shun and Tian Quang Minh, respectively.
The content is also very simple, except for the different headers, the rest is almost identical.
In just a few hundred words, he told the story of what happened in Chang'an City in the past two days from beginning to end.
These generals are incredibly smart people, and they just need to tell them what happened, and they should know what to do.
"Ma'am, it's written." Chun Yuyan said, and put the three letters on the table, and Huo Xian came to check them.
Huo Xian was illiterate, so he couldn't see the difference at all, and Chun Yuyan's move was just a sign of respect.
"Are these written down as I said?" Huo Xian asked.
"Yes, everything was written down as Madame said."
The women and Taoist families actually dared to write a letter to the imperial generals in charge of the army, this is not only a chicken Sichen, but also shocking the world, and it is even more rebellious.
But whether it was Huo Xian or Chun Yuyan, they didn't feel the slightest inappropriateness.
Obviously, this is not the first time they have written such a "rebellious" letter.
Huo Xian looked at these letters, she actually only knew the simplest words, but she also knew that Chun Yuyan would never dare to deceive in any way.
"Okay, one more thing."
"No." Chun Yuyan picked up the pen and waited for Huo Xian's orders.
"On the day of seeing the letter, return to Han as soon as possible, and do not hesitate."
"No!"
Twelve characters are written three times, and it only takes half a column of incense.
Seeing Chun Yuyan stop writing, Huo Xian finally nodded with satisfaction, took out Huo Guang's private message and changed it.
Regardless of whether these hundreds of thousands of troops can come back or not, at least let Fan Mingyou and others know about this matter first, just in case.
Every year, tens of millions of dollars are received from Tian Yannian, half of which is given to Tian Shun and Tian Guangming, it's time to see how loyal they are to the Huo family.
Huo Xian picked up the letter, carefully folded it and put it in his arms, naturally someone who could trust it could send it out.
These three-way army, as long as any of them come back, then they can play a role, and the plight of Huo Guang and the Huo family can also be solved immediately.
"This matter is not to be brought up against anyone else." Huo Xian said coldly.
"No, I know how heavy it is." Chun Yuyan lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.
Huo Xian got up and was about to leave, she left one last sentence before going out: "You go and come back quickly, I will be relieved to see your grandson in the house." ”
"No." Chun Yuyan was shocked again.
The gears of fate turned, and each person was an individual.
They make rational choices based on their own interests, but they get results that they don't necessarily want.
With the delivery of these three letters, the situation in Chang'an City may only become more chaotic.
……
Huo Guang, who had already come to the main hall, of course didn't know that Huo Xian was doing this "big thing" behind his back.
If he knew, he would probably be so angry that he would faint on the spot.
The saint listens to it on all sides, and there are still dark places that cannot be seen, let alone Huo Guang?
At this time, it was already Shen Shi, and the warm road and fire wall that had been burning from morning to the present exuded a violent warmth, making the entire main hall seem a little hot.
Huo Guang, who had just had lunch, was reviewing the military information that had only been submitted in the afternoon.
Weekdays, like weekdays, are still some trivial things.
It seems that if you want good news from the front, you have to wait.
Maybe it's because these military intelligence reports are too boring, maybe it's because Huo Guang eats too much lunch, or maybe it's because the heat in the main hall is too much...... Huo Guang was a little drowsy.
Just as Huo Guang was about to take a nap, Chen Wannian hurriedly ran into the main hall.
"General, the subordinate has something important to report." Chen Wannian said hurriedly.
The tired Huo Guangqiang raised his head, he waved his hand weakly, and motioned for Chen Wannian to continue.
"It has been found out that the county officials really went to the Dasinong Temple, and most of the officials in the temple have already gone to the office."
"Huh? What about Tian Yannian? Huo Guang secretly felt a little surprised.
"Tian Fujun is presiding over political affairs in the temple at the moment, and the entire Dasi Nong is no different from the top and bottom of the day, it is said that it is ......," Chen Wannian hesitated.
"This is not the time for you to play with your joints." Huo Guang said angrily.
"Yes, yes......" Chen Wannian hurriedly said, "The person sent by the lower official to Dasi Nong said that Tian Yannian was rewarded with a hundred floggings by the county officials, but when he left, he said that Tian Yannian had meritorious service to the Han Dynasty and would give Tian Yannian the title of marquis in the coming year." ”
It's a good way to do it!
Suddenly, Huo Guang knew more about the Son of Heaven.
This Tianzi is really not as simple as it seems, and he can take Tian Yannian so vigorously.
Then, it is not surprising that Tian Yannian suddenly "defected".
After all, it is the Son of Heaven, and although there is no pro-government, the pro-government is just a passing scene.
Tian Yannian, the great Si Nong, had no power to fight back in front of this crazy Son of Heaven.
This kind of wrist is not something that Zhang Anshi and Cai Yi can teach, because this is the wrist of the Son of Heaven.
Is the Son of Heaven insane, or is the city deep? Huo Guang had to continue to think about this problem in his heart.
"What else is there to play?"
"There is also news from the Prime Minister's Mansion and Taichang Temple."
"Speak!"
"The county official sent two teams of Yu Linlang, and they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Taichang Temple with the edict stamped with the jade seal of the country."
When Huo Guang heard the jade seal of the country, he felt a little remorseful, and he shouldn't let go of this Shangshu Department.
The Son of Heaven who holds the jade seal of the country can do almost whatever he wants.
"What is written in the edict?"
"The county magistrate allowed the prime minister and Taichang Lecheng to take leave for three months, and during these three months, all the affairs of the prime minister's mansion and Taichang Temple were handled by the officials of Zuo Er in the house."
Huo Guang was shocked, the Son of Heaven is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle!
"How are these two government offices now?"
"It's been opened normally, and it's the same as usual."
"Are these Ren Gong and Le Cheng all waste, they are in the mansion at the moment, why don't they come forward to stop it!?" Huo Guang was furious.
Before and today, they all spoke well, and they all put on a posture of fighting to the death with the Son of Heaven.
But at this really tight juncture, they all hid, not even as good as Da Cai, who could shrink his head!
The bones are so soft, where is there a little bit of the backbone of the three princes and nine qing?!
"The Yulin Lang and Changyi Lang sent by the county officials have not left, and there is another sentence on this edict......"
"What?"
"Dare to block the person who acts as the second official of Zuo, and kill him on the spot!"
Huo Guang's anger went straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, but then it leaked all of a sudden, and his whole person suddenly felt empty.
It's over, and the Prime Minister's Mansion and Taichang Temple are also over.
The Son of Heaven's quick knife to cut through the mess is really good.
Huo Guang was angry and annoyed, his chest jumped violently, he really underestimated this son of heaven from Changyi Kingdom.
This hairy boy actually took advantage of the situation, and with two pieces of rice paper and a hundred feathers of Lin Lang, he temporarily dismissed the prime minister and Taichang from their positions - in the next three months, they were not even qualified to participate in the court meeting.
Moreover, although it is said to be a temporary notice, it is impossible to say whether it can be used or not.
The edicts this morning were clearly written, saying that courtiers who had been on sick leave for more than three months would be dismissed from office.
This not only means that the Son of Heaven has won another game in this battle, but also means that the Son of Heaven has taken the opportunity to set two examples.
On one side is Tian Yannian, and on the other side is Ren Gong and Le Cheng.
The Son of Heaven used these two types of people to send a signal to the courtiers of Chang'an.
As long as you are honest in your work, then even if you make mistakes, you can also protect the official and the marquis.
As long as you work against the Son of Heaven, even if it is the Three Princes and Nine Princes, you may lose your official position and be dismissed.
If this happened only once, the courtiers might still be skeptical.
But when it comes to the things that the Son of Heaven has done in the past few months, which time is not "words must be done, deeds must be fruitful?" ”
This makes the edict of the Son of Heaven extremely persuasive and deterrent - the Son of Heaven must avenge his revenge and repay his debts!
From today on, I'm afraid that no one will dare to use such a thing as "dismissal" to deal with the Son of Heaven.
Suddenly, Huo Guang found that this young man was really not simple.
Enwei and Shi, will be calculated, and the city is like the sea...... Huo Guang seemed to see Emperor Xiaowu in a trance.
Is this what the Son of Heaven is like?
Jianchang Yilang, gave Emperor Xiaowu the temple number, controlled Weiyang Palace, and rebuilt the Weiwei Temple of each palace......
When the Son of Heaven did these things, he had all kinds of reasons, and they all got Huo Guang's approval.
When they are scattered, they are all inconspicuous "little things", but now they are connected and cast into a thick and hard iron chain.
One end of this chain was in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the other end was on Huo Guang's neck - as long as the Son of Heaven pulled it gently, Huo Guang would feel out of breath.
What's even more terrifying is that Huo Guang doesn't seem to be able to break free at all.
The pain once again spread from the back of Huo Guang's head to his entire head, and the strong feeling of dizziness made him almost fall on the couch.
This young man is even more difficult than that Guangling Wang Xu.
Knowing this, Huo Guang would rather make Liu Xu the emperor than choose this king of Changyi to ascend the throne!
The smiling face of the Son of Heaven twisted and flashed through Huo Guang's mind.
In the end, this face gradually coincided with the faces of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu.
Playing with power, this Liu family's bloodline is really a good hand, the Han Liu's destiny is too strong.
At this time, Huo Guang was no longer angry and worried, but fear, a fear from the heart.
If the Son of Heaven is really a person like Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu, the fate and ending of the Huo family can be imagined - I'm afraid it's not as good as Zhulu.
Thinking of this, a chill spread from Huo Guang's back to his whole body, and the whole person couldn't help but shiver.
He remembered that there was still Chen Wannian in the hall, so he tried to calm himself down, and used a few heavy coughs to hide his panic and fear.
"Ahem, ahem!"
"General, take care of your health." Chen Wannian said diligently.
Huo Guang waved his hand and asked, "Where is the county official at this time?" ”
"I heard that I went to Taixue outside the city."
"Too learned?"
"Exactly, the general may have forgotten that the county officials who came to Chang'an City to calculate and report were all edicted by the Son of Heaven to Taixue."
Huo Guang's head hurt even more, and his entire head seemed to be about to split in half from the Heavenly Spirit Cover.
This rebellious son of heaven, it is not enough to stir up the storm in Chang'an City, but he still has to stretch out his hand to the counties of the Han Dynasty?
In one day, I did so many things in a row, which is a little too greedy.
The angry Huo Guang stood up suddenly, he seemed to want to ask something more, but just opened his mouth, and the whole person felt that the world was spinning.
Huo Guang wanted to reach out and grab something, and then stabilize himself.
But the roof and floor of the entire main hall were spinning rapidly, and even the tables in front of them were flickering and approaching.
After confronting this dizziness for a while, Huo Guang, who had not recovered from a serious illness and was overworked, suddenly turned black in front of him, and finally fell to the ground.
"General!"
This time, Huo Guang really fell!
