I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 191 When Confucian Scholar Meets Habayashirou (Subscribe)
"Yesterday, the county magistrate issued an edict to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple name. However, at the Yantie Conference a few years ago, Emperor Xiaowu's merits and demerits had already been determined. Emperor Xiaowu should not be given a temple name. The will of the people is what the people want, so the edict issued by the county magistrate is a chaotic edict and should not be obeyed."

"What's more, in the court, more than a dozen virtuous literatures that dare to speak out have been sent to the prison, which is unprecedented."

"If you take Xiahou Sheng today, you and I will take you and others tomorrow. Isn't everyone in danger?"

"The county magistrate has just ascended to the throne and has no political experience. There is nothing to blame for making this mistake, but we are people of insight in Chang'an City. We should plead for the people and advise you."

"On the day Xia Housheng was imprisoned, Chang'an experienced heavy rain for several days. It was an omen of great misfortune from the sky, and it was an omen for the county magistrate!"

"If I don't wait to make an admonition, then the big man will be in great trouble!"

"Let me tell you, should I go to Beique to resist the imperial edict?"

Xia Houjian waited for this day, I don't know how long he waited, and what he said just now was the result of his hard thinking in the past few days.

This sentence is quite provocative no matter if you look at it separately or listen to it together.

Immediately speaking, the Confucian scholars all around became excited, as if the pavilion had already confiscated their houses.

However, they didn't notice that Xia Houjian had the hearts of the people on the left and God's will on the right.

It seems that he regards himself as the spokesperson of the people's will and God's will.

But they never thought about whether they could really represent the hearts of the people and God's will?
If you can't lift your shoulders, your hands can't carry them, and you don't meet traffickers and pawns, how can you talk about the hearts of the people and God's will?

If you don't plan for the emperor, don't participate in the affairs of the court, you don't know the five grains, your body is not healthy, and you talk about the hearts of the people, how can you talk about God's will?

However, many people don't think of this.

After a while, a shout came from nowhere.

"Go to Beique and resist the imperial edict!"

"Go to Beique and resist the imperial edict!"

……

In the still deserted city of Chang'an, the excited shouts of this group were very clear, which alarmed the residents in some surrounding courtyards.

They opened their courtyard door, and after taking a look at the strange people gathered together, they hurriedly closed the door.

"go!"

Xia Houjian gave an order, and the hundred and ten people rushed towards the empty field under Beique.

……

Under the North Tower, Huo Yu was riding on his tall horse, fully armored, looking menacing.

Because of the hot weather, he was already sweating profusely, but he still sat on the horse and straightened his waist.

Behind him, that is, between the double towers, are a thousand Habayashirou standing in groups.

They are lined up one by one, like black and hard floor tiles.

Today, Habayashiro didn't ride a horse, but the banner armor was clear, and it was no different from the situation before the battle.

Habayashiro should actually be called Habayashi Qi, but because he belongs to Langguan, he is also called Habayashiro.

In the first year of Taichu, Emperor Xiaowu issued an edict to establish Jianzhang Yingqi, which was later renamed Yulinqi, taking the meaning of "wings for the country, like the prosperity of the forest".

Apart from Kimonro, who built the camp earlier, Habayashiro was the most elite unit in the Han army.

The soldiers of the Yulin Cavalry are all from good families in the six counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe. They are not only upright, loyal and brave, but also quite knowledgeable.

Many important courtiers were promoted from Habayashi. General Wei and Champion Hou were all Habayashi.

When it comes to learning, I am afraid that many Confucian scholars are not as good as the guards in Habayashi Langli.

There is nothing wrong with reading the scriptures, but it is a big mistake to regard the words in the scriptures as the only standard.

These Habayashiro were transferred yesterday, and in this month's time, there will be a thousand Habayashiro under the North Tower.

Except for Huo Yu, the rest of Habayashiro stayed in the barracks most of the time and knew little about the outside world, but they didn't ask too many questions.

Since General Zhonglang has the Tiger Talisman and the emperor's seal in his hands, they only need to obey the order.

……

When the bell of Chenshi in Weiyang Palace rang, Huo Yu saw a group of figures in a mess in the north, and they seemed to be shouting for something.

Huo Yu smiled cruelly, and called the two guards to his side.

"Go and report to Guang Luxun, tell him the situation here, and say that someone has come to Beique to make trouble."

"only!"

"In addition, order, the whole team!"

"only!"

……

When Xia Houjian led his men into Beique, the sun just came out.The Confucian scholars who were noisy at first suddenly quieted down.

Instead of being dazzled by the sun, he saw Habayashiro lined up under the double tower like a wall.

Facing Habayashirou's sense of oppression, not everyone can resist it.

In front of this murderous aura, those chaotic Confucian scholars behind Xia Houjian suddenly became chaotic.

Some timid ones have already quietly ran back.

It turned out that the team, which was so enthusiastic, lost a lot of momentum in an instant.

"It's Habayashiro!" someone shouted.

There was a trace of panic in this shout, and the panic quickly spread to the surroundings.

"Don't panic, what we are doing is the will of the people, Habayashiro dare not make mistakes!" Xia Houjian mustered up his courage, and said with a big hand, "Don't be afraid, follow me!"

After Xia Houjian finished speaking, he walked in the front, seemingly full of pride, but in fact, his heart was beating non-stop. He didn't expect the court to send so many soldiers.

But he looked back at those who followed behind him, and he felt more at ease.

Whether you can become a pillar of scholars in seeking wealth and wealth depends on what you do today.

Under this obsession with "name", Xia Houjian mustered up his courage, walked forward dozens of steps, and finally stopped at a place thirty or forty feet in front of Habayashiro's array.

He raised his hand and shouted with all his might, "Kneel!"

He was the first to kneel down, and then Hu Chang also knelt beside him, and the Confucian scholar No. [-] who followed behind him also knelt down with a "hula la".

So many people knelt down facing Weiyang Palace at the same time, it should have been very shocking.

But the open space in Beique is too big, Weiyang Palace is too high, Habayashiro is too majestic...

So these Confucian scholars who don't know why don't look tragic, but rather funny.

Xia Houjian's dry and thin face showed a determined look, but the faces of the Confucian scholars behind him inevitably showed a little fear.

……

Huo Yu on the opposite side looked at the "opponents" who were kneeling together with disdain, feeling quite disdainful in his heart.

At this moment, he wished he could immediately give the order to let his subordinate Habayashiro rush over to completely sweep away these people.

It is estimated that it only takes half a quarter of an hour to withdraw the troops.

However, Huo Yu couldn't do this. The military order he got was to lead troops to defend in front of the double towers.

So at this moment, Huo Yu could only lead his troops to guard between the two towers, and could not move around. For the rest, he had to wait for the orders of Guang Luxun and the general.

Xia Houjian knelt and waited, while Huo Yu stood and waited.

……

Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi, and Wang Ji who were guarding the Shangshu Office soon got the news.

Hearing the report from Habayashiro who came to pass the order, Huo Guang, who was sitting on the couch, said nothing, as if he was waiting for something.

"Ziru."

"The subordinate is here."

"You go to Beique yourself, my Lizi is young and energetic, and I need you to preside over the overall situation to avoid chaos."

"After I go, what should I do?"

Zhang Anshi's question also revealed Wang Ji's doubts.

In the past few days, Huo Guang issued many orders, but everyone only knew that he was going to deal with these Confucian scholars, but in the final analysis, no one knew how to deal with them.

Just like at this moment, it is obvious that the Confucian scholars can be ordered to disperse, but why wait.

"After Ziru is gone, you don't need to do anything else, just stabilize the situation. Xia Houjian and the others want to kneel, so let them kneel. That's the right of Confucian scholars to speak out."

"We just have to wait and wait for them to retreat by themselves. If only they retreat by themselves, then we will admit defeat and we will never get together again."

Huo Guang spoke very calmly, as if everything had been thought through in his mind.

"Then what if they don't retreat?"

"Don't retreat? I'm afraid it can't be done. The sun is so scorching. Ordinary people can't support it after kneeling for a while. They can't last long."

"But... what if they survive?" Wang Ji asked in a low voice.

"Then let Habayashi Lang accompany them to support them. In short, Chaotang cannot admit defeat, and the emperor cannot admit defeat. Even if someone wants to kneel and die between the double towers, Chaotang will not let go."

Huo Guang thought very clearly, that is to use the power of the court to directly subdue these Confucian scholars.

Either you will do it yourself, or you will kneel and die between the two ques, there is no other way out.

Also, Huo Guang didn't say that if things got serious, then Habayashiro's move would be justified.

This is murder, not only your lives, but also your faces.

If the Confucian scholars admit defeat, then these ineffective Confucian scholars will be completely kicked out from the court, and they will no longer be able to stop Huo Guang's footsteps.

If they don't admit defeat, they will die between the twins, and the dead can't speak.

"However, these are all Confucian scholars. If there are too many people who die, I'm afraid it will shake the hearts of the people." Although Zhang Anshi is a capable follower, he is also a Confucian scholar after all. He doesn't want to see things develop to that point.

Compared with a qualified political machine like Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi is more like a person.

It is perfectly normal to have some compassion.

"Zi Ru, it's true that they are Confucian students, but you are also Confucian students, and the ministers in the court are all Confucian students. You care about the great man, but they only know how to bury their heads in the pile of old papers."

"Emperor Xiaowu dismissed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. His original intention was to make the world one mind and one mind, so that the great man can move forward without the slightest fetters."

"But it has never been said that Confucianism will become a hindrance to the progress of the great man."

"Emperor Xiaowu has a spirit in the sky. The Confucian scholars he wants to see are the Confucian scholars like you Zhang Anshi and Wang Ji who work hard, not the Confucian scholars who kneel in front of the double que and force the palace."

"Such a thing cannot happen once in Chang'an, so the court must be tough to the end."

"As for Minxin, the old man has said a lot just now, Minxin is on the side of you real Confucian scholars, not on their side."
