I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 124 A Big Marriage Is a Double-Edged Sword (Read More)
At this time, the tea in the teapot was just about to burn out, and there was a sizzling sound in the clay pot.

Liu He didn't answer Huo Guang's words, but quickly shouted outside the hall: "Fan Ke, refill the water!"

Fan Ke opened the door and came in, and began to add water to the teapot which was starting to get low.

Not long after, the little internal official withdrew.

"Father Zhong, you need soft water to make tea. The so-called soft water is clean water, like well water and dew water... and the best is the snow water from the snow-capped mountains..."

Liu He eloquently said that he seemed to be making tea, but he was actually giving himself some time to find an excuse to turn things around.

This marriage is not easy to end.

Because this is not as simple as choosing a concubine to establish a queen, but a matter of offspring.

Judging from Huo Guang's treatment of Emperor Xiaozhao, he must only want Huo Chengjun to give birth to an heir.

Once Huo Chengjun gave birth to an heir, the Huo family would have an extra card.

The situation Liu He had to face was even more complicated.

What's even more frightening is that once Huo Chengjun has an heir, then Liu He is dispensable.

Maybe one day I will die inexplicably, and the big man will enter the situation in the end of the Han Dynasty in advance when "the little emperor ruled the country and his relatives were in power".

Liu He came to let the big man change his way of life, not to let the big man go back to the old way, or even go the old way ahead of time.

What's more, even if Liu He waited steadily for Huo Guang for a hundred years, he took over the power of the big man.

What about Huo Chengjun and her heirs?

Huo Guang can live, but the Huo family can't stay - unless they retreat bravely, but it seems unlikely.

At that time, will Liu He really want to act like Emperor Xiaowen?

Emperor Xiaowen was ruthless enough, Liu He didn't know if he was that ruthless.

……

After pouring another cup of tea for Huo Guang, Liu He said slowly, "Father Zhong, is this too hasty? Emperor Xiaozhao passed away and was buried just now. I'm going to choose a concubine to be the empress. I'm afraid it will be discussed by the world."

Huo Guang took a sip of his tea. He thought that the emperor would readily agree. After all, this matter seemed to suit the emperor's appetite.

"The son of heaven is a great traveler. You only need to observe filial piety for 27 days. The inheritance of the ancestral temple is the most important thing. Observing filial piety is a small filial piety. It is a great filial piety and the ultimate filial piety to leave an heir for a big man."

The big man uses filial piety, and Huo Guang moved out the word filial piety, which has already suppressed Liu He.

After a while of hesitation, Liu He finally didn't think of any good solution, so he nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by Father Zhong, but the number of concubines should not be too many, just three or five, so as not to be discussed by others."

"The old minister understands."

If you stand up, you will stand up, as long as you don't give birth to an heir. If you can delay it for a day, let's delay it for a day. Liu He has experience in this field, and it must not be difficult to delay it for a year or so.

What's more, didn't Huo Chengjun in history have no heirs left?Maybe she couldn't bear children.

In addition, after standing up, Liu He can also be more courageous, and can walk faster.

Fortune and misfortune depend on how it works.

……

Liu He suffered a secret loss, and Huo Guang got a benefit.

But Liu He couldn't just let it go, he had to take advantage of this time when Huo Guang was happy, and reached out to ask Huo Guang for something.

"Father Zhong, the Empress Dowager has now moved to Changle Palace, how should the late emperor's concubines be arranged?"

Judging from the patriarchal system, these concubines are Liu He's aunts, but they are about the same age as Liu He.

These women of the first emperor, staying in the palace, are a kindling seed after all, and they might burn themselves on him at any time.

One of the reasons why the Changyi king in history was abolished was to commit adultery with the palace servants left behind by Emperor Xiaozhao.

These dark pits must be filled in advance.

"How does His Majesty think it should be arranged?"

"The late emperor's concubines are all my concubine mothers, but staying in Weiyang Palace will always be inconvenient. I think it would be most appropriate for all the palace servants who served the late emperor to move to Changle Palace together with the queen mother. When they are free Being able to play with the Empress Dowager, presumably can also help the Empress Dowager recover from her illness earlier."

"Your Majesty is reasonable and thoughtful, which is really rare. The old minister will tell the Shaofu and Taichang about this."

Liu He nodded.

These things are not enough, Liu He wants more things.

"When I was in Changyi, I wasted a lot of time. Wang Fu and Gong Sui chose eight or nine officials and visitors to study with me. They came in a hurry before and didn't tell them to bring them. Can I bring Wang Fu and the others ordered to come to Chang'an and continue to serve as my Lang Guan, how does Father Zhong feel?"

Eight or nine Lang officials who have not yet been crowned can't change the sky. It is a good thing that the emperor wants to study. Huo Guang touched his beautiful beard and nodded in agreement.

At this point, the first meeting between the Dahan Emperor and the Dahan Invisible Emperor is over.

Huo Guang got what he wanted, and Liu He did not return empty-handed.

It's just that I don't know who gets the thing in the end, which can play a decisive role.

……

Huo Guang bid farewell to Liu He, left the announcement room contentedly, and walked towards the Shangshu Office.

The weather on this day was very good, the sky was as blue as a gemstone tribute from a foreign country, and it complemented the roofs of the palaces of Weiyang Palace.

Let this old palace exude new vitality.

When passing by the Jiaofang Hall, Huo Guang saw people coming and going in it from a distance, it seemed to be very lively and busy.

It should be that the servant is packing the utensils and luggage for the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

From the queen to the queen mother, the difference of one word is even more noble.

But the Empress Dowager Shangguan is about to go from Weiyang Palace to Changle Palace. It looks infinitely beautiful, but who can understand the desolation and suffering in it.

The road has been long for decades, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan may be doomed to be lonely.

Huo Guang looked at it for a long time, until he saw the familiar figure walking to the front of the hall with the help of the maid, he felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly continued to the direction of the Shangshu Office.

Not long after, Huo Guang came to the Shangshu Office, and volumes of memorials had already been placed on the table where Huo Guang usually sat.

There are about dozens of ministers and attendants in the Shangshu Office, most of them take orders in the corridor outside the Shangshu Office, and a small number handle clerical work in the small pavilions around the Shangshu Office.

As for the main room of the Shangshu Office, it was the place where Huo Guang discussed important matters in the court with his ministers.

Here, without Huo Guang's warrant, even the prime minister and doctor censor would not come in without authorization.

Every day, Huo Guang spends half of his time reviewing memorials, and half of his time discussing state affairs with the officials he summons.

All important matters of the Han Empire would first be gathered at the Shangshu Office, after a symbolic court meeting, then Huo Guang's review, ruling, and emperor's seal, and finally sent to different government offices and counties.

Therefore, no matter what the emperor wants to do, he can't get around Huo Guang, the leader of the book.

Today, when Huo Guang came to the Shangshu Office, several ministers were already waiting for him.

They are Chariot General Zhang Anshi, Liao General Fan Mingyou, former General Han Zeng, and later General Zhao Chongguo, plus Dasi Nongtian Yannian who is in charge of the property of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Guang summoned them in the Shangshu Office this time because the big man was about to fight again.

When everyone saw Huo Guang, they immediately stood up in unison.

"Sit down, there is no need to be formal."

"only!"

As soon as they were seated, Huo Guangjiu took out the request for help from Wusun Kingdom that he had received yesterday, and handed it to several people to read one by one.

Everyone read one by one, and their faces became dignified.
