Chapter 171: Extras (3): Huo Guang at the end of the minister! (Medium)
On the last night before Emperor Wu died, he lay on the bed with cloudy eyes, clutching Huo Guang's hand tightly.
He muttered weakly: "Huo Guang, Huo Guang...... My great man, my great man, ......"
Huo Guang pursed his lips and clenched Emperor Wudi's thin hands without saying a word, knocked his forehead deeply, and silently responded to Emperor Wu's worries.
So the man who had been proud all his life let go of that breath, closed his eyes and passed away.
Huo Guang stood up, picked up the ignorant young emperor Liu Fuling, and walked step by step to the throne of the God King.
The old king is finally dead, and the villains who are about to move in all directions can no longer hold back their greedy eyes, and countless jackals, tigers and leopards who are eyeing the young emperor to devour them are dripping fishy saliva with their fangs!!
Everyone didn't put Huo Guang, the little man who had been a secretary for thirty years after following Emperor Wu's ass, in their eyes.
In their opinion, Emperor Wu left such a big stall to Huo Guang, completely killing himself!
No one in the court convinces him Huo Guang and makes him the first auxiliary minister next to the young emperor, isn't that a joke?
The first to bear the brunt was Emperor Wu's third son, Liu Dan.
He was very dissatisfied with the fact that he did not become the emperor, and he looked down on Liu Fuling, a sick and crooked little cub, nor on Huo Guang, who couldn't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks, and jumped around unscrupulously, and even hinted to Yan Guo that there was a problem with the throne.
Regarding his behavior, Huo Guang's attitude was very indifferent and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Until Liu Dan couldn't hold his breath and secretly colluded with the members of the down-and-out royal family to plot a rebellion.
As a result, before the chatter began, Huo Guang's people over there kicked in the door with thunder and pressed the person to the ground on the spot!!
But all those who participated in the rebellion, except for Liu Dan, who took the lead, all the others were exterminated!!
For Liu Dan, Huo Guang only gave one sentence: You are the child of the first emperor, save face for you.
A prince and a prince, the building collapsed in an instant!!
No matter what kind of idiot Liu Dan is, he is at least a prince in the final analysis!! And Huo Guang's methods are so precise and sharp that almost everyone shudders!!
There was a lot of silence in the DPRK and China for a while, and everyone realized something.
Your Majesty is still your Majesty after all.
Someone who Emperor Wu can look at, it can't be a guy to mess with.
In front of the canopy.
Emperor Wu of Han hissed two breaths of cold air, stared at the man with calm eyes hanging on the canopy with bright eyes, and patted his thigh excitedly.
"Good! All right!! It's a beautiful job! Just to slap him hard to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the little rabbit cub still dares to rebel!! β
There are also many ministers who secretly gasp.
Nima's, although this guy is a brother with the champion Hou, but who can see it?!!
It's two extremes, okay?!!
Hell, there are two phoenix eggs that are completely different in one litter!!
Some people are even already pondering, whether to discuss with the champion Hou his father when the time comes, breeding, ah is not the control point when you are a guest, we don't want any powerful ministers and stars, and a great poet who has been famous for hundreds of generations is okay!!
Wei Qing smiled and joked about Huo Quai.
"Why didn't you learn some of your brother's brain?"
Huo Quzhi frowned, and snorted dissatisfiedly with his arms folded.
"What did my uncle say! I'm not stupid!! β
Liu Chelang laughed loudly and hugged him, and nodded the young general's nose affectionately.
"Yes, yes, yes! We're going to be sick! But you haven't told me where your brother is now? Why don't you call him!! β
Huo Qu paused for a moment, glanced at Liu Che with an uncertain emotion, pouted and snorted again.
"I don't know."
Liu Che choked: ......
β¦β¦
And later.
Shangguan Ji, Sang Hongyang, Shangguan An, Ding Wairen and others also rebelled.
Among them, Shangguan Ji and Sang Hongyang are not only important ministers in the court, but also two of the original Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chetuo.
Power is just as glamorous as it is, and it is enough to erode people beyond recognition.
No matter how sincere your dreams and aspirations are at the beginning.
Huo Guang was silent and stewed these old friends.
When he first came to power, Liu Dan failed to pose a threat to him, let alone now that he has a firm foothold in the DPRK and China.
The process of cleaning them up made it easy to make it seem that the former heavyweight courtiers such as Sang Hongyang and Shangguan Ji were all mentally retarded.
In front of the canopy.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was still laughing and laughing, suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Sang Hongyang's face was blank, and he stiffened his body to look at the sky, and for a moment he only felt that all the pictures around him were fading.
Who...... Rebel?
Liu Che twitched his cheeks and sneered for a while.
"That's good."
Sang Hongyang shed noodle tears and fell to his knees with a soft body.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The minister would never dare to have such a mind!! β
Liu Che was silent for a long time, then walked over and pulled him up.
"Forget it, if you want to settle the future things one by one, it can't be calculated, and you don't have the courage to do it in this life."
Sang Hongyang's red eyes were moved: Your Majestyββ!!
Liu Che silently added another sentence in his heart.
I don't have to live one hundred and twenty years old in this life, and whoever survives to death is not certain, I don't believe that I and Zhongqing are alive and there are still people who dare to die!!
β¦β¦
At this point, all the forces that opposed Huo Guang were swept away.
He has a monopoly on power, and as the pillar of the Han Dynasty, he firmly carried this fluttering huge beast!!
Subsequently, he meticulously followed the policies left by Emperor Wu in his later years in the "Edict of Guilt", eliminated all the policies of arbitrary expropriation and extortion in the court, reduced taxes, and rested with the people.
Everything he has done during his tenure in power can be summed up in two words.
- Pacify.
This dynasty, which was once restless and restless, was patiently smoothed out little by little by Huo Guang like cleaning up a ball of threads, and let it regain its vitality.
He didn't want to make any achievements for generations, never tossed the people, but calmly completed the task assigned to him by his emperor on his deathbed.
But the quiet days didn't last long.
[In 74 BC, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fuling, who had been in poor health, died of illness at the age of twenty-one. γ
(It's not that no one has a conspiracy theory about Huo Guang, but I privately think it has more to do with his mother's fourteen months.)
There is no benefit to Huo Guang killing him at this time, because Liu Fuling had no heirs at that time, and if he was killed, the emperor would have to look for him everywhere, and it was an extremely unstable factor, so why bother? Wait a few years for him to give birth to a cub and then die, and it is obviously more worthwhile to control the cub! οΌ
