I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 311 His Majesty's iron chains are strangling the old man's neck! (seeking subscription)
Huo Guang let out a long sigh, and the court battle that had passed for five or six years flashed in his mind.

At that time, Shangguan Jie and Yan assassin king Liu Dan repeatedly wrote letters slandering Huo Guang's guilt. Emperor Xiaozhao not only did not believe it, but became closer to Huo Guang and alienated Shangguan Jie and his son.

"Ma'am, Emperor Xiaozhao trusted me back then, but today's emperor is not on my side."

Yes, the biggest difference between now and then is that the righteousness of the Son of Heaven is not on Huo Guang's side.

Back then, on one side was Yan assassin Wang Dan plus Guan Jie plus Sang Hongyang, and on the other side was Huo Guang.

In the end, Huo Guang was able to win. The biggest factor was that Emperor Xiaozhao trusted Huo Guang unconditionally, which gave Huo Guang righteousness, and he could use righteousness to mobilize the power of the Han Empire.

With the Han Empire behind Huo Guangdian, no matter how Shangguan Jie and Shangguan An's father and son plotted, it was nothing more than a mayfly shaking the tree.

But the current situation is completely opposite to that of that day.

Putting aside the support of the people, Cai Yi, Zhang Anshi and others have the "support" of the emperor behind them.

He, the man's most loyal minister, could only be at a disadvantage.

This is why Huo Guang feels more and more suffocated.

"Ma'am, it seems that the old man misunderstood the county magistrate."

"You and I thought that the county magistrate did this wrong thing just because he was confused for a while, but in fact... freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and the county magistrate may not be able to repent overnight."

Once Huo Guang points out this simple truth, how could Huo Xian not understand it - even if the emperor is bewitched by treacherous ministers, it is only from his true heart.

"Husband, do you want to send someone to deliver a message to Yu'er and the others..." Huo Xian asked with a trembling voice.

Huo Guang turned around and looked at Huo Xian with deep eyes.

Ren Gong said these words the day before yesterday.

To this day, Huo Guang still dare not think of this proposal.

Moreover, two days have passed, and the army has moved to nowhere in the desert.

Even if you want to send a letter, it is not an easy matter; even if the letter can be delivered, the distant water cannot meet the near thirst.

Everything went well. Tian Shun's headquarters, which is closest to Chang'an, will not be able to return to Chang'an until more than a month at the earliest.

But if it doesn't go well, this move will cause many negative consequences.

The army's combined strength is not uniform, which is a taboo for military strategists.

As long as a large army retreats without authorization, it may disrupt the entire strategy of the northern expedition to the Huns, which will lead to immeasurable consequences.

Such a lesson happened more than once in the Han Empire.

"The old man has already thought about it, and he can't act like this."

"However, since Mingyou and Yu'er are not in Chang'an, it may be difficult for my husband to wake up the magistrate." Huo Xian said.

"Don't worry, ma'am, those who subdue others without fighting are also good at what they do."

"In a few days, a few good news from the Han army will come from the front line..."

"At that time, even if this army has not returned to the court, it can still become the old man's help..."

"At that time, the common people of the Han Dynasty will naturally know who is the pillar of the court."

"So, the day when the good news came, it was the day when the county magistrate came to admit his mistake."

"What's more, the old man is a loyal minister of the big man, and he has never done anything to harm the big man. The county magistrate can't kill me."

Although Huo Guang was a little domineering, he did not owe the big man the slightest thing. He was the most loyal courtier and hero in the court.

Killing courtiers for no reason is a matter of risking the disgrace of the world, and the emperor dare not do so.

"What does my husband mean, should I continue to wait?" Huo Xian asked with some dissatisfaction.

Changes will happen later, and there are too many variables if you wait, but now it seems that Huo Guang can't do much except wait.

"The more exploits Mingyou and the others have made in the war, the more the county magistrate will rely on the old man, and the Huo family will not be in danger."

Seeing that Huo Xian still wanted to ask questions, Huo Guang continued, "Madam, please be patient. There is no need to say more about this matter. I have my own opinion."

Huo Guang spoke in a very strong tone. Although Huo Xian wanted to persuade him a few more words, he had no chance to speak. He could only nodded in despair and watched Huo Guang slowly walk towards the main hall.

When Huo Xian was young, she had seen too many joys and sorrows, which gave her a keen insight into disasters.

Now, she has felt that a disaster is gradually coming over the Huo family.

However, she is just a woman.

Although she can help her husband make suggestions behind his back, there is nothing she can do if the man becomes really arrogant.

Now, my husband is just like this—that is, arrogant and stubborn, which is not a good thing.

Although what Huo Guang said just now was sound, Huo Xian always felt a little uneasy.

I can't let my husband continue on this ridiculously wrong path, so I have to help him again.

Thinking of this, Huo Xian had already made a decision in his heart.

She left the main hall and went straight to Chun Yuyan's room.

Just when Chunyuyan was about to go out, when she saw Huo Xian, she immediately stopped, and saluted Huo Xian respectfully and carefully.

"Where are you going?"

"Reporting to Madam, I'm about to pick up my two grandchildren to the mansion." Chun Yuyan said, "It's Madam's blessing that they can come to the mansion for a short stay."

Huo Xian nodded calmly and said without comment: "I came to you today because I have something to tell you."

"Tell Madam, I have already made arrangements for the Cai family and the Zhang family."

"I feel relieved that you are doing this. I have other things to do with you today," Huo Xian said.

"Ma'am, just do as you order."

"Come and write three letters for me."

Huo Xian and Chun Yuyan have similar backgrounds, but their opportunities are very different.

The former climbed high among the generals and gained glory, wealth and enviable power.

The latter worked among the people with famous doctors and learned superb medical skills and literacy skills.

Huo Xian is suspicious by nature, and he doesn't really trust those men who are ungrateful for profit.

When she needed to write a secret letter, she always came to Chun Yuyan to bring a pen.

After hearing this, Chunyuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly found out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put them on the case.

Writing a letter is an easy thing, at least it doesn't violate your conscience and you don't have to commit murder.

Huo Xian opened his white teeth and slowly spoke out the contents of the letter.

These three letters were written to Fan Mingyou, Tian Shun and Tian Guangming respectively.

The content is also very simple, except for the different titles, the rest are almost exactly the same.

In just a few hundred words, I narrated from beginning to end what happened in Chang'an City in the past two days.

These generals are very smart people, just need to tell them the whole story, they should know what to do.

"Madam, it's finished." As Chun Yuyan said, he laid out the three letters on the case for Huo Xian to check.

Huo Xian was illiterate and couldn't tell the difference at all. Chunyu Yan's move was just a sign of respect.

"Are these written down according to what I said?" Huo Xian asked.

"Yes, everything is written down as Madame said."

A mere woman dared to write a letter to a military general in charge of the imperial court. This was not only outrageous, but also shocking and treasonous.

But neither Huo Xian nor Chun Yuyan felt that there was anything wrong.

Obviously, this is not the first time they have written such a "rebellious" letter.

Huo Xian looked at these letters. She actually only knew the simplest words in them, but she also knew that Chun Yuyan would never dare to deceive in any way.

"Okay, one more sentence."

"No." Chunyu Yan picked up the pen and waited for Huo Xian's instructions.

"On the day you receive the letter, return to Han as soon as possible without any hesitation."

"promise!"

It only takes half a stick of incense to write twelve characters three times.

Seeing Chunyu Yan stop writing, Huo Xian finally nodded with satisfaction, took out Huo Guang's private message and corrected it.

Regardless of whether this 10,000+ army can come back, they must at least let Fan Mingyou and others know about this first, as a precaution.

He received tens of millions of money from Tian Yannian every year, half of which was given to Tian Shun and Tian Guangming. It's time to see how loyal they are to the Huo family.

Huo Xian picked up the letter, carefully folded it and put it in his arms. Naturally, there would be someone he could trust to send the letter out.

As long as any one of these three armies comes back, it will be effective, and the dilemma of Huo Guang and the Huo family can be solved immediately.

"This matter cannot be mentioned to others." Huo Xian said coldly.

"No, I know the severity." Chun Yuyan said with a low eyebrow.

Huo Xian got up and was about to leave. Before she went out, she left the last sentence: "Go and come back quickly. I am relieved to see your grandson in the mansion."

"No." Chunyuyan was startled again.

The gears of destiny are turning, and everyone is an independent individual.

They made rational choices based on their own interests, but the results they got were not necessarily what they wanted.

With the sending of these three letters, the situation in Chang'an City may only become more chaotic.

……

Huo Guang, who had already arrived at the main hall, of course had no idea about the "big thing" Huo Xian had done behind his back.

If he knew, he might be so angry that he would faint on the spot.

The saint listens from all sides, and there are still dark places that cannot be seen, let alone Huo Guang?

At this time, it was already Shen Shi, and the heating channels and fire walls that had been burning since the morning were exuding fierce warmth, making the entire main hall seem a little hot.

Huo Guang, who had just had lunch, was reviewing the military information submitted in the afternoon.

As usual, it's still trivial things.

It seems that if you want good news from the front line, you have to wait a little longer.

Maybe it was because these military intelligence reports were too boring, maybe because Huo Guang ate too much for lunch, or maybe because the main hall was too hot... Huo Guang felt a little drowsy.

Just when Huo Guang was about to take a nap, Chen Wannian hurried into the main hall.

"General, I have something important to report." Chen Wannian said hastily.

The tired Huo Guangqiang lifted his head up, and waved his hands weakly, motioning for Chen Wannian to continue.

"It has been found out that the county magistrate really went to Dasinong Temple, and most of the officials in the temple have already gone to the government office."

"Huh? Where's Tian Yannian?" Huo Guang was secretly surprised.

"Mr. Tianfu is presiding over the government affairs in the temple at the moment, and the whole Dasinong is no different from normal. It is said..." Chen Wannian hesitated.

"This is not the time for you to show off your joints." Huo Guang said sullenly.

"Yes, yes..." Chen Wannian said quickly, "The people sent by the lower officials to Da Sinong said that Tian Yannian was rewarded with a hundred floggings by the county magistrate, but when they left, they said that Tian Yannian had contributed to the Han Dynasty and that Tian Yannian would be punished in the next year. Become a Marquis."

It's a good way to use kindness and strength together!
Huo Guang suddenly knew more about the emperor.

The Son of Heaven is really not as simple as it seems on the surface, and he can take down Tian Yannian so vigorously.

Then, it is not surprising that Tian Yannian suddenly "reversed".

After all, he was the Son of Heaven, and even though he was not in charge, being in charge was just a formality.

Tian Yannian, the big farmer, had no power to fight back in front of the mad emperor.

This kind of skill cannot be taught by people like Zhang Anshi and Cai Yi, because it is the skill of the emperor.

Is the emperor insane, or is the city deep?Huo Guang had no choice but to continue thinking about this question in his heart.

"What else is there to play?"

"There is also news from the Prime Minister's Mansion and Taichang Temple."

"speak!"

"The county magistrate sent two teams of Habayashiro, and they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Taichang Temple with the imperial edict stamped with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo."

When Huo Guang heard about Chuanguo Yuxi, he felt a little regretful and shouldn't let go of the Shangshu Office.

The emperor who holds the imperial seal can do almost anything he wants.

"What's in the edict?"

"The county magistrate allowed the prime minister and Taichang to ask for leave for three months. During these three months, all the affairs of the prime minister's mansion and Taichang Temple will be represented by the second official from the left in the mansion."

Huo Guang was shocked, the emperor was trying to drain the fire from under the cauldron!
"How are these two government offices now?"

"The office has been opened normally, no different from usual."

"Are Ren Gong and Le Cheng a waste? They are in the mansion right now, why don't they come forward to stop them!?" Huo Guang was furious.

Today, everyone spoke nicely, and they all put on a show of wanting to fight to the death with the Emperor.

But when it came to this really critical moment, everyone hid, not even the shrunken Da Cai!

The bones are so soft, how can he have the backbone of the Three Lords and Nine Lords? !
"The Yulin Lang and Changyi Lang sent by the county magistrate have never left, and there is another sentence in this edict..."

"What?"

"Anyone who dares to obstruct Zuo Erguan's acting as an agent of government affairs will be killed on the spot!"

Huo Guang's anger went straight to Tianling Gai, but then it vented all of a sudden, and he suddenly felt empty.

It's over, and the Prime Minister's Mansion and Taichang Temple are also over.

The emperor's method of cutting the mess with a sharp knife is really good.

Huo Guang was angry and annoyed, and his chest was beating hard. He really underestimated the emperor from Changyi Kingdom.

This brat actually took advantage of the trend, and with two pieces of rice paper and a hundred feathers, he temporarily dismissed the prime minister and Taichang from their positions - for the next three months, they were not even eligible to participate in the court council up.

Moreover, although it is said to be a temporary warning, it is uncertain whether it can be activated.

The edicts issued this morning were very clear, stating that courtiers who have been on sick leave for more than three months will be dismissed from office.

This not only means that the emperor won another round in this battle, but also means that the emperor took the opportunity to set two role models.

On one side is Tian Yannian, and on the other side are Ren Gong and Le Cheng.

The emperor sent a signal to the courtiers in Chang'an through these two types of people.

As long as you do things with sincerity, even if you make mistakes, you can still keep your official title.

As long as you go against the emperor, even the three nobles and nine ministers may lose their official positions.

If such a thing happened only once, then the courtiers may still be only half convinced.

But when it comes to everything the emperor has done in the past few months, which one is not "Words must be deeds, and deeds must be results?"

This makes the emperor's edict extremely persuasive and deterrent-the emperor must avenge his revenge and pay his debts!
From today on, I am afraid that no one will dare to confront the emperor with such things as "dismissal of government offices".

Suddenly, Huo Guang discovered that this young emperor was really not simple.

Showing kindness and power at the same time, using tricks to his advantage, the city is like the sea... Huo Guang seemed to see Emperor Xiaowu in a trance.

Is this the true face of the emperor?

Established Chang Yi Lang, gave the temple title to Emperor Xiaowu, controlled Weiyang Palace, and rebuilt the Weiwei Temple in each palace...

When the emperor did these things, he had various reasons, and all of them were approved by Huo Guang.

Seen separately, each of them is an inconspicuous "little thing", but now connected together, they form a thick and hard iron chain.

One end of this iron chain was in the emperor's hand, and the other end was around Huo Guang's neck - as long as the emperor pulled it lightly, Huo Guang would feel out of breath.

What was even more frightening was that Huo Guang seemed unable to break free at all.

The pain once again spread from the back of Huo Guang's head to his entire head, and he was so dizzy that he almost fell down on the couch.

This young emperor is even more difficult than that Guangling Wang Xu.

If he had known this earlier, Huo Guang would rather make Liu Xu the emperor than choose the Changyi king!
The emperor's smiling face flashed through Huo Guang's mind with a twist.

In the end, this face gradually overlapped with the faces of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu.

When it comes to playing with power, the blood of the Liu family is really good at it. The Liu family of the Han Dynasty has a very strong destiny.

At this time, Huo Guang was no longer angry and worried, but fearful, a fear from the heart.

If the emperor is really like Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu, the fate and ending of the Huo family can be imagined - perhaps not even as good as Zhu Lu.

Thinking of this, a chill spread from Huo Guang's back to his whole body, and he couldn't help shivering.

He remembered that there was another Chen Wannian in the hall, so he tried his best to calm himself down, using a few heavy coughs to cover up his panic and fear.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"General, take care of your health." Chen Wannian said courteously.

Huo Guang waved his hand and asked, "Where is the magistrate at this time?"

"I heard that he is going to the Imperial Academy outside the city."

"Taxi?"

"Exactly, the general may have forgotten that all the county officials who came to Chang'an City to submit reports were sent to Taixue by the emperor."

Huo Guang's head hurt even more, and his whole head seemed to be split in two from the Tianling Gai.

This demented son of heaven is not enough to stir up the situation in Chang'an City, but he actually wants to extend his hand to the counties and states of the Han Dynasty?

It would be too greedy to do so many things in one day.

An angry Huo Guang stood up abruptly. He seemed to want to ask something more, but he opened his mouth just now, and he felt dizzy.

Huo Guang wanted to reach out and grab something, and then stabilize himself.

But the roof and floor of the entire main hall were spinning rapidly, and even the table in front of him was suddenly far away and near.

After confronting the dizziness for a while, Huo Guang, who was still seriously ill and overworked, suddenly went dark and finally fell to the ground.

"General!"

This time, Huo Guang really fell!
