In the front hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu He, the son of heaven, came to the front hall on time.

In the front hall, hundreds of officials and ministers stood sparsely, and the number of people was extremely small.

Even the position that should have been occupied by Huo Guang is now empty.

Even with it, almost none of the "last Huo Parties" in the court came.

The reason why I say almost, is because the Daji farmland has come in a regular manner.

It seems that this Jiuqing is desperately falling to his own camp.

In the future, Liu He may not spare him because of this, but he can let him go more decently.

The turmoil of the Han will only get bigger and bigger, and being able to walk decently is not necessarily a bad thing.

Liu He sat on the imperial couch and looked expressionlessly at the position where Huo Guang should have appeared.

His dear middle father won't repeat his old tricks and call himself sick again, right?

One cannot walk into the same river twice, or even one at once.

If you fall twice in the same place, then Huo Guang is really old.

In addition to these Huo Dang who didn't come, the faces of the remaining hundred officials and ministers also had different expressions.

The faces of these emperors were a mixture of happiness, joy and exhaustion.

Before entering the hall, they secretly exchanged news in their hands, and they all had a little understanding of what happened in Chang'an City last night.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven is sitting on the imperial couch safe and sound at the moment, which shows that the situation in Chang'an is completely controlled.

The only variable in Chang'an City is Huo Guang, who has not yet gone to the palace.

The Son of Heaven said that at today's court meeting, Huo Guang will definitely be trapped in the beast, and all the Huo parties will show their feet, and that is the best opportunity.

Zhang Anshi was excited and excited, and even those who were not very important to ride the wall had heard some rumors more or less.

One by one, they lowered their heads, looked at the plan in front of them, and did not say a word, thinking about the way out in the future.

Liu He waited quietly for a quarter of an hour, and finally lost all patience.

If the victim does not come, the funeral can still be done.

Liu He cleared his throat and was about to let Zhang Anshi make public what happened last night, when the shouts of the confessors suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Great General Sima, please see the Son of Heaven!"

"Great General Sima, please see the Son of Heaven!"

Huo Guang has the privilege of praising and worshipping his name, so the court only needs to address the official position.

The shouts of the confessors reached the front hall more and more clearly, from small to large, from far to near.

Liu He smiled imperceptibly, it's good to come, so as not to sing a one-man show alone.

didn't let the hundred officials and ministers in this hall wait too long, and Huo Guang appeared outside the gate of the front hall.

His hair and beard had been carefully combed, his robes were spotlessly clean, his belly was slightly bulging, and his scarf was tightly tied......

Coupled with the sword that has not been unsheathed for a long time, it shows the demeanor of a powerful minister.

It's just that although Huo Guang tried his best to show his momentum, Liu He still saw a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows.

At the end of the strong crossbow, I'm afraid it's the current Huo Guang.

Of course, Huo Guang didn't come alone, he was still tall and fat behind him, followed by many courtiers.

Many of them were not qualified to participate in the court meeting, and the expressions on their faces were not very reluctant, it seemed that many of them were forced by Huo Guang.

This is also good, saving Liu He from screening in the future.

At the forefront of these dozen people are Ren Gong, Li Guang, Deng Poyu, and Fan Anning.

These courtiers are the biggest cards in Huo Guang's hand.

Liu He also noticed that his "brothers-in-law" did not appear in this bluffing team.

It seems that Huo Guang has not lost his mind because of power, and still knows how to protect the people closest to him.

On the contrary, Ren Gong also has some pathos - it is a role that Huo Guang can sacrifice.

"Old minister Huo Guang asked Your Majesty."

"Weichen Ren Gong asks Your Majesty."

"Weichen Li Guang asked Your Majesty."

……

One by one, these courtiers came up to greet them, interrupting the process of the court discussion.

Liu He didn't speak, just quietly watched them pretend to perform.

"Just now, the old minister met these people in Beique and talked to them for a few words, so it was a little late, please forgive your majesty." Huo Guang said.

"Since there is a reason for the incident, I forgive the ministers for their innocence." Liu He said lightly, "Everyone, sit down, come on, and add some couch ......."

"Don't sit down yet, the old man has something important to play at the moment." Huo Guang said proudly.

"Even if the middle father doesn't sit, maybe the other courtiers want to sit?" Liu He meant something.

"Your Majesty, these courtiers behind the old minister are going to play jointly with the old minister today, so if the old minister doesn't sit, they won't sit either."

Huo Guang's words attracted everyone's side eyes.

Where is this to jointly play to the Son of Heaven, it is simply to lead people to fight with the Son of Heaven, which is very domineering.

But even if he can't be domineering, Huo Guang has been domineering for more than ten years, not more this time, not less this time.

"Huh? The person standing behind the general is Prime Minister Ren Qing? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is Wei Chen." Ren Gong didn't dodge, stepped forward in one step, and stood side by side with Huo Guang, with the meaning of advancing and retreating together.

"Isn't Ren Qing sick, before he recovers from his illness, he came to participate in the court meeting, I'm afraid it won't be synthesized." Liu He asked with a smile.

"Weichen is indeed sick, and he has not recovered yet, but I heard that the Han is in danger of survival, so he can only dare to go to court with illness."

The bold Ren Palace dared to be so disrespectful to the Son of Heaven in public.

Zhang Anshi, Cai Yi and others were already so angry that they blew their beards and glared, and they were eager to try one by one, wanting to come out and compete with them.

But Liu He gave them a look and stopped them.

It's not yet their turn to make a move.

"Well, it seems that Ren Qing is really a loyal minister, and he is willing to go to the court with illness, which is really commendable......"

"It's a pity that Na Lecheng, who fell ill with you, was a deceitful and famous, and he actually deceived the king and pretended to be sick, which disappointed me!"

When he said the last few words, Liu He deliberately raised his voice.

This poked Ren Gong's hidden pain, and he was ashamed in his heart, and his arrogance finally subsided a little.

"Your Majesty, what the old man wants to play is very important, and I hope Your Majesty will allow the old man to play now." Huo Guang forced a sentence and said.

"No matter how big the matter that the middle father wants to play, it is not as big as my matter, let me finish talking first, and then the middle father will talk about it." Liu He wants to seize this opportunity.

"But ......"

"Could it be that the middle father thinks he is even older than me?"

It's a good ambiguity, a good pun.

Everyone in the front hall heard the twofold meaning of the word "great."

Is it a big thing or a big status?

Huo Guang couldn't answer well.

No matter how anxious he was at the moment, he didn't dare to answer this conversation.

"Since the middle father didn't say it, then I said it."

"Last night, I received a military intelligence ...... from Lingwu County from Liang Yannian."

"Fan Mingyou and Tian Guangming raised troops to rebel under Lingwu City in the name of Qingjun's side, and the 70,000 people under their department are coming to Chang'an City, and now they should have reached Sanshui."

"In addition, Fan Shu, the lieutenant of the middle base, Huo Feng, the envoy of the protector of the army, and Su Chang, the executive of Jinwu, did not comply with the decree of resistance, intending to rebel, and they have already surrendered to the law."

"Jing Zhao Yin Deng Poyu, Youfu Feng Fan Anning, Tingwei Li Guang and others are very close to Fan Mingyou and others, and they are not suitable for important positions, I have issued an edict to Wei Xiang, Xiao Wangzhi and Huang Ba and others to take their place......"

Liu He's speed of speech was not fast, but the murderous aura in it could not be concealed at all.

Huo Guang only knew that Su Chang was dead, but he didn't expect Fan Chuan and Huo Feng to also be killed by the Son of Heaven, this knife is really fast.

He looked at the Son of Heaven in disbelief, never thinking that the other party still had a vicious side.

The courtiers who didn't know why were also stunned.

They are accustomed to seeing the approachable appearance of the Son of Heaven, thinking that the Son of Heaven is a benevolent monarch, where did they think that the Son of Heaven would immediately raise the butcher's knife?

Moreover, this butcher's knife is easy to lift, but it is difficult to put it down, and I am afraid that there will be no days of peace in this Chang'an City.

"I'm done with my words, what can I say now."

The words have been finished by the Son of Heaven, what else can he say?

The Son of Heaven spoke first, probably just to set a tone for Fan Mingyou's affairs.

Huo Guang is here to set up a stall today, of course he will not back down easily.

"The old minister thinks that His Majesty's move is inappropriate, and it is not like Mingjun."

"Oh? Could it be that the middle father said that I am a faint king? ”

This conversation happened a few months ago.

That time, the person who was caught by the Son of Heaven was Xiahou Sheng of Changxin Shaofu, and later almost died in the edict.

Huo Guang is not the pedantic Xiahou Sheng, let alone the powerless Xiahou Sheng.

"The old minister doesn't dare to say that His Majesty is a faint monarch, but if he handles this matter so recklessly, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to be a Ming monarch." Huo Guang said unhurriedly.

"Well, then the middle father said it, what did I say wrong?"

"Last night, the old man also received a military information from Beidi County, but it was not sent by Lingwu County, but by Fan Mingyou, the general of Duliao."

Huo Guang still called Fan Mingyou General Duliao, which meant a lot.

"Duliao General Fan Mingyou and others did not want to raise troops to rebel, they just thought that His Majesty was instigated by traitorous ministers, first they were suspicious of the loyalty of the soldiers who went out to fight in the north, and then issued a chaotic edict to prevent them from returning to the south......"

This edict chilled the hearts of the soldiers, who did not damage the foundation of the Han Dynasty, for His Majesty not to be deceived, and for the common people of the world not to be poisoned...... Only then do you want to raise troops on the side of the king! ”

Huo Guang stood up straight, and said these words slowly and logically with his stomach straight, without any hesitation or stuck.

All of a sudden, the courtiers who didn't know why were talking about it.

Liu He looked at Huo Guang, admiring and disgusting in his heart.

I didn't expect the general's ability to refer to the deer as a horse is so great, and he can package rebellion into loyalty.

"The general is saying that it's all my fault?" Liu He asked with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty has just been in power, and it is inevitable to make mistakes!" Huo Guang held his head high, without any fear or retreat.

He took out the style of an auxiliary minister again, and criticized the mistakes of the Son of Heaven to his face, and he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Because Huo Guang has been forced into a corner, if he is not tough, the entire Huo family will soon fall apart.

And he also has a strong confidence: the Empress Dowager Shangguan's decree is his biggest weapon.

Liu He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and surprised.

The situation in Chang'an has stabilized temporarily, but the 70,000 rebels under the command of Pham Minh Woo and others are still eyeing each other, and the danger of Chang'an City has not been lifted.

Liu He thought that Huo Guang would find a way to control Chang'an City, and he also thought that Huo Guang would escape from Chang'an City overnight, and even thought that Huo Guang would bargain with him to make Fan Mingyou and others surrender.

But he didn't think that Huo Guang would leave behind his reputation as a loyal minister that he valued the most, and turn black and white upside down to say that Fan Mingyou and others were acting against him as a matter of loyalty.

At first glance, it sounds unreasonable, but it is a matter of position.

The Son of Heaven said that they were rebels, and Huo Guang said that they were on the side of the Qing monarch, and each said that they had their own reasons.

If Liu He was Emperor Xiaowu in the ascendancy, of course Huo Guang would not dare to say so.

But his prestige has not yet reached its peak, and at most he can only be regarded as an equal to Huo Guang.

Liu He looked at Zhang Anshi, and wondered in his heart whether he could send someone to take Huo Guang down on the spot.

But looking at the courtiers behind Huo Guang, he thought about the 70,000 rebels who were getting closer and closer.

Or temporarily pressed the restlessness in my heart.

There are many people and courtiers who don't know why, and there are also many people and courtiers who are interested in the Huo family.

Now it's just Fan Minh You who rebelled, and he has no direct connection with Huo Guang.

If Huo Guang is taken down now, it may cause civil unrest, and it will be used by Fan Mingyou and others to make a fuss.

Perhaps more unknown civilians and courtiers will be drawn into their ranks.

Many things, from Chang'an to other counties, can easily go out of shape.

"Chang'an Monthly" came too late, if the influence of "Chang'an Monthly" was greater, then Liu He could do a lot more.

Looking at Huo Guang, Liu He clenched his fists.

Today, Huo Guang came to find himself desperately, hoping that the ethics of kings and ministers are useless.

And I'm afraid that Huo Guang didn't come to be this loyal minister to admonish himself, but to be a powerful minister to threaten himself.

Maybe...... History will return to the original timeline: does Huo Guang already want to abolish himself as emperor?

Liu He counted the cards in the hands of both sides.

He has the entire Chang'an City, the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, the support of most courtiers and part of the people's hearts.

Huo Guang had an army of 70,000, the credit of the auxiliary minister, the support of a few courtiers and a part of the people's hearts.

evenly matched, evenly matched.

In addition, he also has Han Zeng's army of 30,000 on the way - this may be the last bargaining chip for the decisive victory.

However, Liu He wanted to see first, what other cards in Huo Guang's hand he didn't know.

"Since Father Zhong thinks that I have done something wrong, then I want to ask Father Zhong, how does Father Zhong think I should make amends?" Liu He deliberately asked with some hesitation.

"First of all, Cai Yi should be punished to calm the anger of the northern soldiers!"

"Once again, I will issue an edict to appease and stabilize the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers of the northern expedition."

"Then he issued an edict to apologize to the people of the world."

"In the end, Xu Dajun returned south and rewarded the meritorious soldiers."

After Huo Guang finished speaking, before Liu He could react, Cai Yi fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Your Majesty, Huo Guang's old thief is spewing blood, he is a bloody spewing person, a personal vendetta, Your Majesty must not be deceived by them, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”

After Cai Yi knew last night that Fan Mingyou and others were going to "clear the monarch's side and punish Cai Yi", there was not a moment of peace, and the whole night was spent in panic and fear.

Now that Huo Guang proposed in public to let the Son of Heaven kill him, he was even more frightened.

The Son of Heaven has become more and more tough in the past few months, but in the face of the coercion of the 70,000-strong army and Huo Guang's counterattack, whether he can withstand the pressure really makes Cai Yi feel uncertain.

Back then, although Emperor Xiaojing finally quelled the Seven Kings Rebellion, he also killed Chao Cuo first.

Cai Yitan was crying bitterly regardless of face, which was very unsightly, and he was crying and crying and was about to faint with shortness of breath.

Liu He was a little upset by the noise, and he was afraid that Cai Yi would cry to death in this front hall.

"Fank."

"Wechen is here."

"Help Cai Qing to the side hall to rest, and send the imperial doctor to take care of him."

"No."

Fan Ke was very clever, and saw that the atmosphere at today's court meeting was wrong, and he couldn't help the Son of Heaven too much, but he could still do it.

Soon, Cai Yi was helped down, and the front hall was slightly restored to its quiet and majesty.

At this time, the eyes of some courtiers who looked at Liu He changed.

It became a little vague and ambiguous, and they seemed to feel that what Huo Guang said seemed to have some truth.

In other words, they don't necessarily think that Huo Guang is reasonable, but they are afraid of the murderous army of 70,000.

If you have strength, what you say makes sense.

"Is there anything else I have to do besides these things?"

"Your Majesty made such a big mistake, naturally because he was young and ignorant, and I am afraid that he is not able to govern himself......"

"Now I am afraid that only the great general can persuade the two generals Fan Tian to stop the army, so Your Majesty should also respect the general as an auxiliary minister, and lead all the court and military power."

"If Your Majesty is blindly greedy for power and can't let go of this government, this Chang'an City, Guanzhong and the counties of the world will be affected by the war."

The person who spoke was Ren Gong, Liu He looked at this person with slanted eyes, regretting that he didn't free his hand first to catch him in the edict prison to be with Le Cheng.

Huo Guang's words just now also took into account the faces of both parties, then Ren Gong is a ghost who is the vanguard of the tiger, and it is a hundred times more hateful.

It seems that Huo Guang is really ready to abolish the emperor in his heart.

Liu He didn't expect that he would still come to this point.

It's just that I am not the king of Changyi in history.

"Have you finished talking about the general and the prime minister?"

The two did not salute, but neither said anything else.

"Now that the two Aiqing have finished speaking, I also have a few words to say." After Liu He finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the top of the jade steps.

"What Huo Guang mentioned, I don't allow it."

"Cai Yi, I won't kill."

"Traitor, I won't care."

"I don't admit my sin."

"Rebels, I'm not afraid!"

"The government, I won't pay it back."

"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"

Liu He stood with his hands behind his back and said these few short words coldly, expressing his attitude clearly.

Huo Guang and Ren Gong's faces were gloomy, Zhang Anshi took a long breath, but the rest of the neutral people were silent.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to go your own way, don't you think about the people in the world, don't think about the Han Dynasty, and don't think about yourself?"

Huo Guang said, and his hand reached into his arms, as if he wanted to take something.

Liu He saw it, his eyelids jumped, what did he want?

There is still a 5k today, and later, Huo Guang's plot ended here and almost ended.

Everyone scolds a lot, but it may be the first time to write a history article, and I don't know what everyone wants to see, so it is inevitable that there will be some problems with the writing, and I don't make other excuses.

As for everyone hating the protagonist, maybe I hate it too?

Just like now, if he is stabbed in the next chapter, many people will applaud.

(End of chapter)
