Huo Guang was "sent" away, but his minions of "crooked melons and cracked dates" are still there.

Liu He still has some respect for Huo Guang, but he doesn't have a good impression of these "accomplices" Liu He.

But he was not in a hurry to deal with the Huo party, but first turned to the Empress Dowager Shangguan, who was frightened and pale.

"The Queen Mother was frightened just now, do you want to go back to Changle Palace to rest for the time being, and after today's affairs are all dealt with, I will go to the Queen Mother to ask for guilt."

"No need, emperor, I'll just watch in this front hall to see who dares to disobey the emperor's edict and doesn't want to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."

The Empress Dowager Shangguan, whose lips were already bloodless, said forcefully, even though the hands clenched together were still trembling, but she did not flinch.

She has been waiting for this moment for so long, and naturally she is reluctant to miss every part of this process?

These Huo Dang have not directly harmed the Empress Dowager Shangguan, but they are all accomplices.

"I understand, then please sit down with the Queen Mother." Liu He saluted again.

"Yu worry-free!" Liu He shouted.

"Wechen is here!" Yu Wuwu entered the front hall.

"Carry Deng Polu's body out first, I don't want to see him again."

"Yui!" Yu Wuwu waved his hand, and Chang Yilang immediately came in behind him, skillfully cleaning up Deng Poyu's corpse.

Everyone looked directly at the corpse that was still at the mercy of the Changyi Lang, and their feelings were very complicated and worried.

Some are even more fearful.

This is the cruelty of the court struggle, and Jing Zhaoyin, who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of people, suddenly died violently.

And the death is so wimpy and sudden, there is no meaning or value at all.

Liu He deliberately didn't speak all the time, leaving enough space and time for the hundred officials and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to think slowly.

Think about it, what kind of fate will it be if you follow Huo Guang and don't follow yourself.

Deng Poyu's body was carried out, and the floor was all scrubbed, except for the faint smell of blood, no one could see that a murder had happened here.

At this time, Liu Hecai coughed lightly.

But before he could speak, Li Guang, the court lieutenant behind Prime Minister Ren Palace, and Fan Anning, the right supporter, trembled in their hearts, and immediately knelt down in a panic.

"Wechen is guilty, Wechen is guilty!" These two courtiers with a rank of 2,000 stones, their heads were like pounding garlic, and they kept kowtowing on the ground.

And those Huo Dang who stood behind them, whose rank was even lower, could still stand firmly, and they also knelt down one by one, prostrate on the ground and did not dare to move.

The sound of "bang bang bang" kowtow was endless, listening to the ears of the courtiers, making people feel that their hearts were seeping, and they couldn't help but worry that the heads of these two people would burst in the next moment.

"Fan Qing and Li Qing, what crime do you two know?" Liu He asked indifferently.

"This ......" Li Guang and Fan Anning stopped, raised their heads and looked at each other, but they couldn't say what they were guilty of.

"If you can't answer, you don't know what crime you've committed...... I can remind you. ”

Liu He said contemptuously, and walked down the jade steps step by step and came to His Highness.

Standing here, Liu He looked as tall as Li Guang and the others, but he still held down the other party steadily.

"Zeng Zi said: I am three times a day, and I am not loyal to others? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? ”

"I want to ask you today, how much of your 'loyalty' to me is true and how much is false?"

"Are you loyal to me, or are you loyal to Huo Guang?"

This was the first time that Liu He called Huo Guang's name in public, which also pierced Li Guang and Fan Anning's thoughts, and their fear was even worse than just now.

"The criminal ministers and others listened to the words of the general, thinking that the general had the queen mother's decree in his hands, and the palace was out of order, right...... It's a sin of great disrespect. Li Guang said.

"Great disrespect is only a sin committed today, I am afraid that there were other sins in the past, but today I will only talk about this great disrespectful sin......"

"Li Qing has been a court lieutenant for several years, I want to ask you, how should this great crime of disrespect be punished?" Liu He asked indifferently.

"If it's light, it's a tongs, or if it's heavy, it's abandoning the market...... Li Guang said, and he kept wiping his sweat.

"Then Li Qing thinks that your crime of disrespect is light or serious?" Liu He asked sharply.

"Heavy ...... ...... again," Li Guang replied, his face changing again.

Liu He applauded, and the applause was crisp and loud, as if it had slapped someone in the face.

"Li Qing, this court lieutenant, is a good one, and he will not be merciless in condemning himself......" Liu He suddenly changed his words and raised his voice and said, "Fan Ke in the waiter!" ”

"Wechen is here!" Fan Ke, who had just returned to the gate of the temple, didn't know why the Son of Heaven called him.

"Draw up an edict for me immediately."

"Huh? Wechen won't ......" Fan Ke opened his mouth wide.

"I asked you to learn to draft edicts before, and in the past few months, you have learned very well and can take on this great responsibility."

"No." Fan Ke immediately took out the pen curtain that the waiter carried with him, hurriedly ran to an empty case, prepared the pen and ink, and prepared to start drafting the edict.

"Removed Li Guangting from the post of lieutenant, dismissed Fan Anning to the right to support the wind, and was sent to the Imperial Prison for the crime of great disrespect, and the punishment of abandoning the city by the head of the traitor, and the relatives were all in the city."

The so-called Chengdan Chung is the heaviest of the prison sentences, and those who are punished for this punishment become official slaves, lose all their freedom, and have to do the heaviest hard work all day long.

For female dependents, it is even more humiliating to others, which is simply worse than death.

Before Emperor Xiaowen, the punishment of Chengdan was indefinite, but it was changed to six years.

But how many people can carry it for six years?

"The other courtiers who missed their deadlines with Huo Guang today will also be dealt with as the crime of great disrespect first!"

"But in order to find out whether there are other crimes, the punishment of abandoning the city will not be carried out for the time being, and he will be detained in the edict prison to be disposed of!"

As soon as Liu He's words fell, Li Guang and Fan Anning immediately collapsed, and their voices were faintly said thank you, and the rest of the Huo Party were also trembling.

They will be able to survive in prison for a few days, but their relatives will be taken into custody immediately.

More than a dozen high-ranking families fell into ruins.

"As for Prime Minister Ren Gong...... Liu He had already walked in front of Ren Gong and asked, "Ren Qing, what do you think you should be guilty of?" ”

"Wechen is not guilty!"

"Innocent?"

"It's not guilty, it's Your Majesty's fault, when General Fan and General Tian's army comes to the city, how will Your Majesty deal with yourself?"

Ren Gong was much tougher than Li Guang and Fan Anning, and the scar on his face that was left when he eradicated the Shangguan family was particularly hideous.

"I am waiting for Fan Mingyou and Tian Guangshun in this Weiyang Palace, I want to see if they can come to this Chang'an City."

"Ren Gong, as the head of a hundred officials, is even more disrespectful, and the most important thing is that he will be punished by an inch and the clan will be wiped out!"

The punishment of the inch, which is the stripping of flesh from the bones, is a more terrible form of death than the five punishments, the beheading, and the beheading.

Even if it was a diehard like Ren Gong, he couldn't help but be terrified when he heard this punishment, and slowly knelt down in front of the Son of Heaven, no longer rebellious.

"The position of court lieutenant will be taken over by the subordinate boss Zhi Huangba." Liu He looked at Huang Ba, who was allowed to come to the court today.

Huang Ba already knew that his appointment as a court lieutenant was a sure thing, but he still had a happy face, and hurriedly rushed over and thanked him in front of the Son of Heaven.

"These people are all Huo Dang, you have to investigate them carefully to see what other crimes they have, confessions and witnesses, and they must be done in a solid ......"

"If anyone can do wrongful deeds for others, let him be commuted as he sees fit, and it is up to you to decide."

"No!" With so many "playthings" at once, Huang Ba was even more happy, and then asked, "Your Majesty, can you be tortured during interrogation?" ”

"Yes."

"Yui!"

"Fan Mingyou's rebellion, Huo Guang will definitely be to blame, I'm afraid there is a deeper implication, and the Imperial Doctor and Ting Wei should start to investigate strictly......"

"Not only the conspiracy but also all the lawlessness must be investigated......

"Don't let anything go wrong!" Liu He said.

"Yui!"

"Wei Xiang!"

"The minister is here!" Wei Xiang stood up and replied.

"I once asked you to screen the Huo Party, and now I will hand over the list to Huang Ba, the court commander, and ask him to follow the map and send all the courtiers involved with the Huo family to the edict first...... As for their relatives, they were all imprisoned in prisons. ”

"Yui!"

"Fan Mingyou, Tian Guangming and Tian Shun's relatives......" Liu He paused, and finally ordered ruthlessly, "The head of the devil abandons the city, and the head is hung on the north gate, so as to shake the night!" ”

Liu He said, he was silent for a while, his heart was a little cold, and the appearance of Fan Mingyou's twin sons who wanted to open up territory for the Han Dynasty appeared in front of him.

Perhaps, they really don't know anything; Perhaps, they are really quite loyal; Perhaps, they have a good impression of their uncle as a heavenly son.

But there is no way, who let their father rebel?

Liu He couldn't save them, even Emperor Taizu Gao couldn't save them.

During the moment when the Son of Heaven was silent, all the courtiers were also silent, not daring to say a word.

In this way, the total number of people who the Son of Heaven wants to kill and punish is already thousands.

And that's just the beginning.

The Son of Heaven mentioned the word "Huo Party" for the first time in the front hall just now, which means that it is not a family that wants to be killed, but a party!

Anyone who has anything to do with the Huo Party will probably be dealt with.

The blood began to flow, and it will continue to flow, until there is no more Huo Party in this world.

So, are there any innocent people who will be involved?

No one knows.

This is the fear of being a human being.

I hope that the Son of Heaven is still the same benevolent monarch, and he will not kill too many people in the future.

Liu He took a deep breath, and finally said slowly again: "Lead a team of swordsmen and take them to the Imperial Prison, I don't want to see them in this front hall again." ”

"Yui!"

Huang Ba took these Huo Dang away, and the entire front hall was much empty.

After this incident, the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries and those important Secretaries have many more positions to fill.

Liu He didn't have time to recruit new people, so he had to promote a group of existing courtiers and occupy the position temporarily.

"Now, the court is vacant, the secretary position is suspended, and I want to promote the minister to fill the position."

After the funeral is done, it is natural to have a happy event, and it is a happy event to promote one's own people.

Although Zhang Anshi and others are loyal, they have expectations for fame and fortune after all, and they are a little excited when they hear the Son of Heaven mention the word "promotion".

"Zhang Anshi is the general of the Great Sima, and he is still the secretary."

Zhang Anshi has always been in charge of military affairs for the emperor, and it is appropriate for him to take this position.

"Cai Yi is the prime minister, and he is still the secretary."

Although Cai Yi has no merit, he has hard work, and it is already a great grace to make him prime minister, not to mention that he may be old in a few days.

"Wei Xian is the imperial historian, and the secretary is still the secretary."

Wei Xian was not a core figure in the imperial party, but his son Wei Xuancheng was Liu He's confidant.

Moreover, Wei Xian did not fall to Huo Guang in the court battles between Huo Guang and Liu He, but stood on the side of the Son of Heaven, which is fundamentally different from those wall grasses and should be promoted.

The three princes have been arranged, and the remaining Jiuqing is much easier.

"Shaofu Bingji is Guangluxun, Consul General."

Bingji raised his head and looked at the Son of Heaven with some surprise, he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to let him take the post of Consul General.

This means that Zhang Anshi's status is the highest in the outer dynasties, but in the Chinese dynasties, Bingji's status is slightly suppressed by Zhang Anshi.

The Son of Heaven wants to use him to restrain Zhang Anshi.

Although he saw this intention, Bingji still accepted the order without hesitation.

"Wang Ji is the captain of Weiyang and Guangluxun, and the secretary is still the secretary."

"Wei Xuancheng is also the Great Honglu, the official of the imperial history."

"Gong Sui was appointed as the lieutenant of Changyi Zhonglang and the guard of Weiyang Palace, and he was in the middle of the matter."

"An Le Ren Jin Wu, give the matter."

"In addition, the servant is old and old, and when I entered Chang'an in the past, I actually took over as the Son of Heaven's chariot, and I was dumb and confused, so I was removed from the post of the servant and replaced by the servant Xue Timid."

As for Prime Minister Wei and Xiao Wangzhi in the Imperial History, because the position itself is also very important, there are no more changes for the time being.

As for the positions that were still vacant such as Jing Zhaoyin and Right Fufeng, Liu He also promoted a few capable people from among the neutral courtiers to fill them.

After this painful appointment and dismissal, almost all of the Huo Dang among the three princes and nine secretaries in the court were eliminated, and all of them were replaced by people that Liu Heneng trusted.

In this way, the power of the entire Chang'an City was finally completely in the hands of Liu He.

"Queen Mother, what is the decree for me to deal with this?" Liu He stood in the hall and saluted the Empress Dowager Shangguan on the jade steps.

"The emperor has done a good job, and I have no objection." Empress Dowager Shangguan said.

Liu He nodded, but did not return to the imperial couch, but went straight to the side of Dasi Farmland Yannian.

At this time, Tian Yannian, the former Huo Dang, was covered with sweat, and there were bits and pieces of sweat on the case in front of him.

Today, since Huo Guang entered the hall, Tian Yannian has always been like this, constantly in panic and panic.

How could he not panic, the Huo party who ate bread together in the General's Mansion a few months ago was now the only one left.

Now looking at the Son of Heaven standing in front of him, Tian Yannian naturally thought that it would be his turn to suffer next.

"Tian Qing, do you think my handling is appropriate?"

Tian Yannian hurriedly stood up, bowed down in front of the Son of Heaven, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has handled it properly!" These people offend Tianwei and should be punished heavily! ”

"Then Tian Qing thinks the board he received last month is worth it?"

"It's worth it! Your Majesty's punishment is at the right time, otherwise Wei Chen will probably go astray and be disrespectful with those Huo Dang! ”

If it weren't for that board, Tian Yannian would have been either the one who shouted for Huo Guang, or the one who was killed by Huo Guang to sacrifice the flag.

In short, there will definitely not be a good end.

Although, Beidi County and Anding County still have Fan Minh You's 70,000 troops eyeing each other, and the Son of Heaven doesn't know how long he can be in power.

But at least he survived first, and he is still Jiuqing.

"Okay, Tian Qing should be his own big farmer, don't make a big mistake like Ren Gong and them!"

"In addition, you have to think about it, if there is anything you want to say to me, I am waiting for Tian Qing in Weiyang Palace."

"No, no," Tian Yannian hurriedly said, he heard that Liu He meant something, it seemed that he wanted to make himself the first general's crime.

He didn't know anything about the rebellion of Fan Minh Woo and others, but he still knew a little about other crimes.

But he hasn't made up his mind to do this yet, because he still thinks that Fan Mingyou and the others have a good chance of winning, and it might be better to wait.

Liu He didn't want to pierce Tian Yannian's illusions, so he sneered and stopped looking at him.

He walked back to the top of the jade steps, condescendingly, looking at the empty front hall, a little sad.

The courtiers were much calmer than before, but most of them still had a gloomy face.

The 70,000 rebels of Fan Thief and Tian Thief were eyeing Beidi County and Anding County, and Huo Guang's words were still echoing.

If 70,000 rebels enter the city, the good situation that the Son of Heaven has achieved today will also come to naught.

Liu He's last bargaining chip was Han Zeng's tens of thousands of troops, and there was no news yet, but he firmly believed that they could rush back from Wuyuan.

Except for a few who knew about it, the rest of the courtiers didn't know anything about it.

It's time to give them this reassurance.

"I see that your Aiqing faces are worried, I'm afraid I'm worried about the 70,000 rebels......"

"Fifteen days ago, I received a letter from the former general."

When the Empress Dowager Shangguan and the ministers heard Han Zeng's name, they all raised their heads and turned their eyes to the Son of Heaven, and they vaguely guessed something.

"I have issued an edict to promote Han Zeng to the general of the hussars, and the commander-in-chief of Shuofang Liangzhou Military ......"

"Before the fifteenth, the troops and horses of the department have already waved back to Chang'an, and they will arrive in a few days."

"You can sit back and relax."

The courtiers were in an uproar again, Han Zeng's department had 30,000 people, if they could return to Guanzhong on time, then the army under the command of Fan Thief and Tian Thief would be blocked out of Guanzhong.

Beidi County and Anding County could not support the 70,000-strong army, and even if they did not send troops to levy them, they would disappear on their own after a few months.

When the time comes, the general trend of the world will really be reversed.

Finally, the dark clouds hovering in the front hall dissipated a little: at least the rebels had a solution.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and Weichen is happy and convinced!" Today, An Le, who has received great benefits, was the first to stand up and bow down and flatter in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty is from a high position, and the ministers are on the ground!" Tian Yannian also followed.

Then, the rest of the courtiers also stood up and bowed down to the Son of Heaven in unison, praising the wisdom of the Son of Heaven.

Liu He looked at the courtiers who bowed down, but he didn't calm down, but just silently said in his heart: Han Zeng, don't let down my high hopes.

……

The courtiers in the front hall saw hope, but Huo Guang and Huo Xian in the back house of the general's mansion gradually fell into despair, and then fell into madness in despair.

Ask for a subscription! Emperor Xiaozhao told Huo Guang about the "rebellion" of the Shangguan family, which led to the extermination of the Shangguan family, so is the attitude of the Empress Dowager Shangguan towards Emperor Xiaozhao good or bad?
