If Liu He sympathizes with the other party at the moment because of Huo Guang's embarrassment and vicissitudes.

So who will sympathize with Emperor Xiaozhao who died of the poison of mercury, who will sympathize with Liang Yannian who died under the rebel knife, and who will sympathize with the unjust soul in Huojiajing?

What's more, Huo Guang admitted Huo Yu's crime of rebellion, but he still had reservations.

"Father, I'm afraid it's not just these seven deadly sins, there is another sin you haven't mentioned."

Huo Guang's rickety figure suddenly trembled, and his chapped and skinny lips trembled slightly.

How could he not know what sin the Son of Heaven was talking about?

After a long stalemate, Huo Guang bowed to the Son of Heaven three times in a row, and then confessed the last sin with a trembling voice.

"The Eighth Sin...... It is even the crime of killing the king, the sinner Huo Xian is bold and reckless, poisoning Emperor Xiaozhao, the Huo family, the crime deserves death! ”

After Huo Guang said this, his shoulders fell down a little more, piling up on the ground like a lifeless ball of meat.

The powerful minister finally knelt pitifully in front of him and confessed his sin.

This is the scene that Liu He has been waiting for for a long time!

But I don't know why, Liu He didn't feel any joy in his heart, but felt that wisps of anger kept surging up.

Once upon a time, Liu He wanted to let go of Huo Guang, and even more wanted to let go of the Huo family, but the world was unpredictable, and he still came to this point.

"Father, why do you want to kill the king!?" Liu He suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

"According to the people's calculations, Emperor Xiaozhao has not been crowned yet, and he regards you as his father and teacher, how can Huo Xian do it!?"

"Emperor Xiaowu entrusted his son to you, how much trust he has in you, he wants you to become the Duke of Zhou and Zhaogong who are auxiliary and return to power."

"I don't want you to be the Cui Shu who killed the monarch."

"Under Jiuquan, you really have the face to face Emperor Xiaowu and ...... And your brother Hussar General? ”

Every word Liu He said was squeezed out of his clenched teeth, and the sound of his teeth rubbing made his hair stand up.

But he still couldn't control it and increased the strength of his teeth, as if this was the only way to suppress the anger in his heart.

Suddenly, a tooth on the back groove was crushed by Liu He, and a burst of fishy sweetness and sharp pain spread in his mouth.

However, the broken teeth and blood were swallowed by Liu He, and the palpitations caused by the pain made him feel better.

Under Liu He's questioning, Huo Guang remained motionless, only the trembling beard showed that his heart was like a stormy wave.

"Then I want to ask my middle father, when I imprisoned you in the back house, did you also think with your mother-in-law that you want to kill me too?!"

"Your Majesty, old man, old man, ......" Huo Guang looked at the Son of Heaven in horror, as if he wanted to argue, but in the end he couldn't do it.

Because he suddenly remembered that he had indeed conspired with Huo Xian at that time.

Indeed, they not only thought about replacing the Son of Heaven, but also thought about killing the king.

No matter how critical the situation was at that time, as a courtier, how could he have such evil thoughts?

Huo Guang seemed to have suddenly sobered up, was he an evil at that time?

No, it's not the evil spirit, and it's not the bewitchment of Huo Xian, but the bewitchment of power, and the bewitchment of the desire for power in the depths of his heart.

He finally understood completely that under the infiltration of power, he had already changed from the cautious leader of China and North Korea to a big Han thief with wolf ambitions.

If he could have relinquished power as soon as possible, why would he be today?

The sooner the power is delegated, the sooner Huo's peace will come.

It was not Huo Xian, nor Huo Yu, nor the Son of Heaven who made Huo Guang fall to this point...... It's himself!

He failed Emperor Xiaowu, Emperor Xiaozhao, the son of today, and the subjects of the Han Dynasty.

In that case, what other face does he have to complain?

Huo Guang was speechless, his cloudy eyes were even more cloudy, and he could only bow down deeply in front of Liu He who stood up again.

It is both an apology and a guilt.

"Okay, as I expected, Huo Guang, you really thought about killing the king, right?" Liu He sneered.

"The old man was dumbfounded and ......speechless," Huo Guang choked up.

Looking at Huo Guang's somewhat scattered gray hair and humble appearance, Liu He's anger calmed down a little.

He sat back on the couch and poured out a glass of wine, his broken tooth aching.

"Huo Guang, you have been walking in the court for more than 40 years, in charge of the Central Dynasty for 20 years, and as an auxiliary government for 67 years...... I must be familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty......"

"I want to ask you now, you and Huo Xian and Huo Yu, as well as the Huo family, committed these eight major sins...... How exactly should the sentence be determined?"

After Liu He finished speaking, he still felt that it was not enough, and added the last sentence of murder.

"Don't forget to count the iron coupons of the Nadan Book I gave you, I want to be a benevolent monarch, you can be generous, not only can you avoid death, but you can also save your clan from death!"

The Danshu iron coupon can save Huo Guang from three deaths or the death of his relatives.

Huo Xian's murder, Huo Yu's rebellion, Huo's corruption...... These three major sins are the great sins of ethnic annihilation.

The Danshu iron coupon hidden in the high temple seems to be life-saving, but in today's situation, it can't save anyone at all.

At most, Huo Guang can only live alone.

Huo Guang, who was lying on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, nor did he dare to speak, and his sweat was dripping down even more.

"Huo Guang, why didn't you answer, didn't you want to confess?" Liu He scoffed.

"According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the criminal minister Huo Guang should be punished, the criminal woman Huo Xian should be punished, and the criminal minister Huo Yu should be punished...... Huo's ......"

"The Huo clan is wiped out!"

Huo Guang said the last sentence, and the whole person slowly straightened up, as if the sins on his body were slightly lightened by the words just now.

"In that case, what are you here for today?" Liu He asked.

"The criminal minister begs His Majesty to be merciful and give me the punishment of the head, and don't implicate my brother, let alone spare the slaves and maids of the Huo family......" Huo Xian begged lifelessly.

"The hussar general has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and he is even more loved by Emperor Xiaowu, and he has been to Huangquan for many years...... I will not hold him accountable, and the mausoleum remains unharmed. ”

"As for the slaves and maids of the Huo family, Tingwei will carefully screen them, and those who have not violated the punishment can be returned."

"As for the punishment of the three of you...... You don't seem to be a gutsless person. Liu He said sneeringly.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister is not here to plead his case, but only for Huo Yu and Huo Xian, I just ask Your Majesty to recite the merits of the guilty minister, so that I can wait for a decent death." Huo Guang choked.

"Okay, then I can tell you plainly, I won't allow this matter of changing the sentence to the head of the gang!"

"Emperor Xiaozhao was killed, it is an unprecedented crime, only three of you are sentenced, it is already an open net, if you change your head again, I will have no shame to face the world!"

"The initiator, there is no aftermath, there is no need for heavy punishment, I am afraid that one day I will be poisoned."

After the words of the Son of Heaven were finished, the old Huo Guang was full of grief and pleading.

"Is Your Majesty really so vicious, unwilling to give the old minister and his relatives this last dignity?"

"Huo Guang, it's not that I'm too vicious, I have to be decisive and decisive in doing things, and I won't leave any evil, you taught me, and you taught me well."

The only remaining glimmer of light in Huo Guang's eyes finally dimmed completely.

When I came to intercede with the Son of Heaven today, I never thought that I could get a good result, but I was really rejected and I was still extremely disappointed.

But after the loss, it also becomes calm.
