Although Huo Guang was imprisoned, his recital to the Son of Heaven was still unhindered.

From the soldier to the chief, from the commander to the commander, from the commander to the team leader, and then from the team leader to the Weiyang guard Wang Ji......

Before noon the next day, Huo Guang's recital was delivered to Liu He's hands.

Liu He looked at the familiar handwriting on the cover, and his mind moved slightly.

It seems that Huo Guang finally couldn't sit still when he saw the heads of Fan Mingyou and others, and it seemed that he had lost all hope.

Liu He sent the head, not only to dispel all of Huo Guang's hopes, but also to see how Huo Guang would explain Huo Yu's "killing and shutting down".

If Huo Guang is knowledgeable, has a little conscience, and is willing to tell Huo Yu about the conspiracy and discernment, then he can still be regarded as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and Liu He can let the Huo family die less.

This head of Fan Mingyou and others is another opportunity for Liu He to give Huo Guang.

However, when Liu He looked through the letter written by Huo Guang in anticipation, he couldn't help but feel disappointed again.

Although Huo Guang seems to be willing to let go of the power in his hands, he is still unwilling to be an ordinary rich man.

In the first part of the letter, Huo Guang sincerely confessed most of his crimes.

lost his honor in front of the palace, disrespected the Empress Dowager of Heaven, did not know anyone, was nepotistic, was deceived by Fan thieves, and killed Deng Po without permission......

If it was a human being, an ordinary courtier, who did these things, it would have been enough to exterminate the clan ten times.

But for Huo Guang, who was powerful and once stood at the top of the Han Empire, it was not enough to punish him with death.

At least if he is punished with capital because of this, there will be people in the civil court who will be upset with Huo Guang - this is not the result that Liu He wants, Liu He wants the Huo family to die thoroughly.

The reason why some people are unhappy is very simple, in the past few years, Huo Guang's power has surpassed all the powerful ministers in the past and present.

ruling on behalf of the Son of Heaven, appointing the Empress Dowager, designating the Son of Heaven, and ruling the political affairs of the world alone......

After all these things have been done, what is there not to be disrespectful to the Son of Heaven?

Other courtiers can't do it, but Huo Guang can.

However, Huo Guang did not say a word about Huo Yu's alleged rebellion.

In the second part of the recital, Huo Guang put all the blame on the heads of Fan Mingyou and others, and even refuted Huo Yu and others.

There is nothing new in the defense, but it is only repeatedly argued that Huo Yu and others were confused by Fan Mingyou and others, and they were coerced into the rebellion.

In addition, Huo Guang also pointed out that although Huo Yu was guilty, he also had the credit of killing Fan thief and coercion before the battle, and implored Tianzi to open up.

In the third part of the book, Huo Guang began to play the emotional card, counting Huo Quai's illness and his loyalty to the Han.

Although it is also some cliché scenes, it still makes Liu He see Huo Guang's scheming.

After Emperor Xiaowu, the people with the most military achievements should push Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

After the two died of illness, Emperor Xiaowu let the two be buried near Maoling.

Later, the Witch Rebellion broke out suddenly, the Wei clan was wiped out, and the position of Empress Wei Zifu was also abolished.

However, the graves of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have not been removed, and they are still standing next to Maoling.

The fact that the unrighteous Emperor Xiaowu was able to do this was enough to see his appreciation for Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

Among Wei Huo, Huo Quai's merits may not be as good as Wei Qing's, but because of his untimely death, the world has more regrets and illusions for him.

is like Kong Zhongni's favorite disciple, not Zilu, but Yan Hui.

Yan Hui's talent is certainly the reason why he is loved by Kong Zhongni, but another reason is his early death.

Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.

But this sentence can also make sense in reverse, the reason why a beauty is a beauty, and the reason why a famous general is a famous general is because of early death.

Beauty has lived for a long time, and naturally there will be a day when aging is annoying; Famous generals have lived for a long time, and naturally there will be a day when they are defeated or have high achievements.

Therefore, compared with Wei Qing, Huo Qubing is a great hero admired by countless young people in the Han Empire.

Now, Huo Guang mentioned Huo Quai's illness in this letter to the Son of Heaven, just to make the Son of Heaven moved.

However, what Huo Guang could not have imagined was that this Son of Heaven in Weiyang Palace was not very different from all the young people of the Han Empire.

Liu He only stayed for a moment in the third part, and then continued to read.

As expected, Huo Guang finally mentioned the exonerated Danshu iron coupon: Huo Guang was willing to exchange the Danshu iron coupon for Huo Yu's exoneration.

"Qing can forgive three deaths, children and grandchildren forgive one death, the crime of rebellion is unforgivable."

Danshu iron coupons can be exempted, but they cannot be exempted from the crime of rebellion.

According to Huo Guang's current rhetoric, Huo Yu is not a rebel, at least not the main culprit of rebellion.

In addition, anyway, the merit of killing Fan Mingyou before the battle is not considered a rebellion.

Coupled with the Danshu iron coupon, Huo Yu should be able to exonerate himself.

Once Huo Yu is exonerated, then the Huo family will not be convicted.

Huo Guang's good abacus played very well, and it seems that it has not collapsed yet.

Liu He put down the thick book, and there were not too many waves in his heart.

Huo Guang has Huo Guang's abacus, and Liu He also has Liu He's abacus - it is impossible for Huo Guang to fulfill his wish.

Now, Chang'an City has stabilized, and Beidi County and Anding County have also gradually stabilized.

There is still more than half a month left before the Chinese New Year, and Liu He must completely solve the affairs of the Huo Party this year.

And only by convicting and convicting Huo Guang, Huo Xian and Huo Yu, the core figures of the Huo family, can this matter really come to an end.

In two days, Huo Yu and many lieutenants and generals will be escorted back to Chang'an City, and Liu He must give Huo Dang a result at that time.

Thinking of this, Liu He immediately picked up the pen and wanted to reply to Huo Guang.

But after the pen and paper were ready, he couldn't put pen to paper for a long time.

I don't know why, he felt that he and Huo Guang had nothing to say.

After pondering for a moment, Liu He only commented on four words in the recital: I know.

In the end, he didn't even have a private seal on his name, so he sealed it again: Huo Guang, guess what, guess what I will do with you.

"Fank!"

"Wechen is here!" Fan Ke ran in from outside the temple gate.

"Return this book to Huo Guang!"

"No!"

……

Two days later, when the sky was bright, Sima Tao Anran, the gate of Guo Hengmen in the north of Chang'an City, was eating the bread in his hand on the city wall while looking into the distance.

The remaining half of the cake in Tao Anran's hand is called meat sandwich bun, which is a new food that has only recently appeared in Chang'an City.

The rice cake should be cut into two in the meat sandwich bun, and then the minced wax meat should be stuffed in the middle, and one full of two or three weights.

Tao Anran's food is huge, and he has to patrol back and forth on the city wall all day long, so it is easy to get hungry, but if he eats a meat bun, he can manage it for several hours.

What's more, the taste of this meat bun is very good, so it is more popular with the people.

Not only the meat bun, but the rice cake outside is also said to be a kind of food that the Son of Heaven came up with.

In the territory of Dahan, cakes are actually not uncommon, but all cakes are very hard to eat.

It is difficult to eat directly with an empty mouth, and it is often boiled in soup, and the taste is unsatisfactory, and it is not the favorite food of the people.

But this rice cake is very different, it tastes very crispy and fluffy, and it is easy to swallow.

Tao Anran asked those who sold rice cakes, and only then did he know that this was the envoy of the Gongguan, who summoned them to the yali to teach them the method.

Ordinary cakes are baked directly after kneading the dough, but when making rice cakes, the soft dough is placed in a clay pot, covered with dry flour, and stored overnight.

Nowadays, rice cakes can not only be eaten with meat, but also soaked in mutton soup, which is another flavor.

If someone wants to go far away, they can also directly bring a dozen rice cakes as dry food, which is cheap and hungry: a rice cake is only three yuan, and the meat is only five or six yuan.

Tao Anran stuffed the last bite of meat sandwich bun into his mouth, wiped his greasy hand on his robe, and began to patrol the road, reminding the guards guarding the city to cheer up.

In the past half a month, many changes have occurred in Chang'an City, which have made the people panic.

Although Tao Anran was a city gate Sima with a rank of 200 stones, he was no different from ordinary people in the final analysis - he couldn't figure out why the general was involved in rebellion.

He only knew that tens of thousands of troops were eyeing each other, and on the day Chang'an City was broken, he didn't know how many people would suffer.

If it weren't for his duties, Tao Anran would have taken his whole family and fled to Maoling County to escape the disaster.

However, God bless Chang'an City, and news finally came a few days ago that the rebels in Beidi County, Anding County and Shuofang County were all annihilated.

The heads of Fan Mingyou and others have also been sent to Chang'an.

This made ordinary people like Tao Anran breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter how the battle was won, now that the rebels have been eliminated, the year has finally been better.

However, Tao Anran also received an order from Zhi Jinwu, saying that the lieutenants of the rebel army would be escorted back to Chang'an City in the past few days, so that they must cheer up.

At this moment, the sun has not yet emerged from the east, but the sky has already revealed a little fish belly white, and the near things can be seen gradually, but the distant scenery is still blurred.

Tao Anran inspected the city for a week, and then returned to the eaves of the city tower.

Just as he wanted to sit down and rest for a while, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Following the prestige, a group of people appeared on the official road in the distance.

Before Tao Anran could see the appearance of this group of men and horses clearly, there was a sudden buzz within the city wall: a group of hundreds of cavalry galloped from inside the city and came to the city gate.

The person at the head, Tao Anran, recognized that it was the new Guanglu Xun Wang Ji: that day he accompanied the Son of Heaven out of the North City Gate and won the right to be the lieutenant of the middle base.

"I am Guanglu Xun Wang Ji, I want to take the rebel prisoners into the city, please open the door quickly!" Wang Ji shouted.

Then, someone sent the edict issued by the Shangshu Department to the city, and after checking that it was correct, Tao Anran did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly issued an order to the soldiers to open the city gate quickly.

Soon, under the "eyeing of these hundreds of Lin Lang", the heavy horizontal door was slowly opened.
