I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 194 Huo Guang Became a Bad Guy, I and My Queen Mother Be a Good Guy (Subscribe)
In Qingliang Hall, Yu Wuyou hurried in, because he came in such a hurry, he didn't even wait for anyone to inform him before entering the hall.

In the past few days, Liu He listened to Huo Guang's arrangement, went in and out in a simple way, except for the successful discussion of papermaking and printing with the Shaofu, he almost never saw other ministers.

In the final analysis, it is to avoid suspicion.

However, he doesn't seem to care about world affairs, but he still gets news from the outside world through Yu Wuyou and Wang Ji every day.

So, with a bit of a lag, the situation is still fairly well understood.

Seeing the normally steady Yu Wuyou barging in, Liu He knew something big was going to happen.

"Why is it in such a hurry?" Liu He asked.

"When a Confucian scholar died in Beique, the people who came with him broke out, and Habayashiro has already made a move."

Liu He's face sank.

When deciding to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple name, Liu He thought that it would not be smooth sailing.

It was inevitable that something would go wrong.

However, what Liu He didn't expect was that Weiyang Palace would be besieged in the end.

Even in the past few days, when those doctoral officers took the lead in "forcing the palace", Liu He thought that they would finally overcome the difficulties.

Even if Liu He didn't want to accept the current situation, he still had to accept it.

"How is Beique now?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, those rioters will collapse at the first touch. With Guang Luxun on the scene, there are not many casualties."

Not too many casualties, that is, there are still casualties.

"Why did the situation change suddenly? Didn't the general say that those people were hired by others? Why are they so desperate?"

"The lower officials are far away, so they can't see clearly, but it seems that someone took the lead."

Liu He felt more and more suspicious.

Liu He has never experienced such a thing, but he has seen it a lot.

The real culprit must not be the dead or injured, not even Xia Houjian.

For some reason, Liu He became suspicious of Huo Guang.

Is it possible that Huo Guang directed and acted himself?

But Liu He didn't say anything more in front of Yu Wuyou, he was no longer there, and there was no way to investigate.

I hope Zhang Anshi can control the situation and don't let Beique smear too much blood.

Liu He understood that with Huo Guang's character, this matter would definitely be wiped out.

Presumably there will be no peace in Chang'an these days.

Even if things calm down, there will be a long tail to deal with.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

Liu He finally understood this truth.

However, Liu He did not regret his decision to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple title.

If you're worried about something going wrong, then don't do anything.

Liu He thought for a long time before saying to Yu Wuyou: "Bring a pen, I want to draw up the imperial edict to pardon Xia Housheng and others in advance."

"only!"

Huo Guang became a bad guy, so Liu He had to prepare to be a good guy.

Moreover, Liu He wanted to bring the Empress Dowager Shangguan with him, so that the mother and son would be good people together.

With the help of Yu Wuyou, an imperial edict to pardon Xia Housheng and other virtuous literature was quickly drawn up.

This edict has not yet been affixed with the emperor's seal, so it has no effect.

It's just a prop: a prop for acting in front of the Queen Mother and Huo Guang.

After drying the ink, Liu He double-checked and made sure that there were no mistakes before handing over the edict to Yu Wuyou.

"Immediately take this edict to Changle Palace, hand it over to the Empress Dowager, and tell the Empress Dowager that I can't bear to see the people suffering. I decided to pardon Xia Housheng and others in a few days. I hope that the Empress Dowager can assist me and accompany me."

If the son wants to do something, the mother should naturally support it.

"Presumably the queen mother will understand my intentions after reading the imperial edict."

In Changle Palace that day, Liu He said that he would give Emperor Xiaowu a temple title, in order to fulfill Emperor Xiaozhao's long-cherished wish.

The queen mother expressed at the time that she would support her from the sidelines.

Now that the matter of going to the temple has been completed, it's time for the queen mother to help with the aftermath.

Yu Wuyou didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed to Changle Palace.

When he went, he deliberately came out of Weiyang Palace from Beique.

The entire Beique has been cleaned up, except for the three or five hundred Yu Linlang stationed here, there are only a few servants holding buckets, scrubbing the blood on the ground.

I don't know how many people died in the turmoil just now.

Yu Wuyou saw Zhang Anshi from a distance, and wanted to go over to ask about the situation, but then recognized Huo Yu who was wearing a black armor beside him.

Fearing that he would arouse suspicion, he didn't go there, and rode straight eastward to Changle Palace.

Galloping along the east-west city streets, Yu Wuyou noticed that the surrounding customs were extremely tight. There were many more guards patrolling the city than before. At the intersection of several streets, additional gate guards were arranged.

But in reality, the situation was more turbulent and complicated where Yu Wuyou couldn't see.

Almost all the doctoral officers, Confucian scholars, and traffickers involved in this matter were arrested.

After simply identifying their identities, they were all thrown into prisons that matched their identities.

As for those who escaped by chance, if they were ordinary people, they would naturally not be held accountable.

If he is a Confucian scholar, Huo Guang and others have already found out where he lives.

Zhi Jinwu first ordered the gates of Chang'an to be closed tightly, and then searched for them according to the plan, and no one was allowed to escape.

Under the actions of all the violent machines in Chang'an City, a seemingly massive civil unrest was completely suppressed after only half a day.

……

Yu Wuyou arrived at Changle Palace as quickly as possible, met the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and delivered the edict drawn up by the emperor to the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan read it carefully, feeling a little surprised in her heart.

That day, the county magistrate only said that he would give Emperor Xiaowu a temple title. Although the empress dowager Shangguan was a little shocked, she didn't care.

After all, it was very difficult for Emperor Xiaozhao to do this.

Unexpectedly, the emperor, who had been enthroned for several months, actually did this.

What's even more commendable is that the opposition from the court, the persecution of virtuous literature, and even the so-called public opinion...never made the emperor withdraw his edict.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan couldn't help but look at the emperor in a different way.

"Is this the case?" The Empress Dowager Shangguan still asked in disbelief.

"A few days ago, the edict for Emperor Xiaowu's temple title was sent to Chang'an City, and it was sent to other prefectures and vassal states of the Han Dynasty in a few days."

Sending the edict to the counties means that there is absolutely no possibility of any changes.

"I'm very pleased that the emperor has done a good job in this matter. Presumably the late emperor and Emperor Xiaowu will also be pleased." The Empress Dowager Shangguan muttered to herself, as if sighing.

"Your Majesty has something to confess to the Queen Mother."

"What's the matter?"

"The Changxin Shaofu Xia Housheng issued an imperial edict to prison."

The Empress Dowager Shangguan opened the imperial edict again, glanced at it, and said eloquently: "Xia Housheng slandered Emperor Xiaowu, and according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, he was sentenced to prison immediately. Although he is a long letter and a small mansion, the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people. The emperor did it well." Nothing wrong, no need to plead guilty.”

After a pause, the Empress Dowager Shangguan continued: "The emperor wants to pardon Xia Housheng and others, so just pardon. This will reflect His Majesty's benevolence."

"Your Majesty also thinks so, but he is afraid that the General will be suspicious, so he wants to discuss it with the Queen Mother..." Yu Wuyou hesitated.

"Yeah, Mr. Yu, but it's okay to say."

"Your Majesty wants the Empress Dowager to make a statement for the Changxin Shaofu first, and then His Majesty will follow suit and issue an edict to pardon Xia Housheng. In this way, it will be difficult for the general to refuse."

One sings the red face, the other sings the white face.

The mother and son performed a double reed play together.
