I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 369: Huo Guang leads his minions to force the palace, and I will not obey any of the things he proposes! (Please subscribe)

In the front hall of Weiyang Palace, the emperor Liu He arrived on time.

In the front hall, hundreds of officials and ministers stood sparsely, and the number of people was extremely small.

Even the position that should have been occupied by Huo Guang is now empty.

Furthermore, almost none of the "last Huo Party members" in the court came.

The reason why I say almost is because Dasi Farmland Yannian came in an orderly manner.

It seems that this Jiu Qing is completely committed to his own camp.

In the future, Liu He may not spare him for this, but he can let him live a more dignified life.

The turmoil in Dahan will only get bigger and bigger in the future, and being able to walk more decently is actually not necessarily a bad thing.

Liu He sat on the imperial couch, expressionlessly looking at the place where Huo Guang should have been.

My dear father-in-law will not repeat his old tricks and call the government sick again, right?

One cannot walk into the same river twice, or even once.

If Huo Guang falls twice in the same place, he is really old.

Except for those Huo Dang who didn't come, the remaining officials and ministers also had different expressions on their faces.

The faces of Zhang Anshi and other imperialists showed a complex expression of happiness, joy and exhaustion.

Before entering the palace, they secretly exchanged information in their hands, and they all had some understanding of what happened in Chang'an City last night.

Moreover, the emperor was sitting on the imperial couch safe and sound at this moment, which further showed that the situation in Chang'an was completely under control.

The only variable in Chang'an City is Huo Guang, who has not yet gone to the palace.

The emperor has said that at today's court meeting, Huo Guang will definitely be trapped and still fighting, and all Huo's party will show their weaknesses. That is the best opportunity.

Zhang Anshi and others were excited and excited, and even those unimportant fence-sitters had heard some rumors.

Each of them lowered their heads, looking at the plan in front of them, without saying a word, thinking about the way out for the future.

Liu He waited quietly like this for a quarter of an hour, and finally lost all patience.

Even if the victim didn't come, the funeral could still take place.

Liu He cleared his throat and was about to let Zhang Anshi tell the public what happened last night, when suddenly the shouts and singing of the visitors came from outside the hall.

"General Sima please see the Emperor!"

"General Sima please see the Emperor!"

Huo Guang had the privilege of paying tribute without naming him, so he only needed to address him by official title when he went to court.

The visitor's shouts and chants spread from far to near, from small to loud, and reached the front hall more and more clearly.

Liu He smiled unconsciously, it would be great if he came, so as not to have to perform a one-man show by himself.

Without letting the officials in the main hall wait too long, Huo Guang appeared outside the front door.

His hair and beard were carefully combed, his robes were neatly tidied, his abdomen was slightly swollen, and his ribbons were tied tightly...

Coupled with the sword that has not been unsheathed for a long time, it shows the style of a powerful minister.

However, although Huo Guang tried his best to show off his momentum, Liu He still saw a trace of fatigue between his brows and eyes.

At the end of the battle, I'm afraid I'm talking about the current Huo Guang.

Of course, Huo Guang did not come alone. Behind him were many tall and fat courtiers.

The character of many of them was not qualified to participate in the court meeting, and the expressions on their faces were not very willing. It seemed that many of them were forced to come by Huo Guang.

This is good, as it saves Liu He from having to screen him later.

At the top of the dozen or so people were Ren Gong, Li Guang, Deng Polu, and Fan Anning.

These courtiers are the biggest cards in Huo Guang's hand.

Liu He also noticed that his "brothers-in-law" did not appear in this bluffing team.

It seems that Huo Guang has not lost his mind because of power, and still knows to protect the people closest to him.

On the contrary, Ren Gong and the others are also a little sad - they are Huo Guang's expendable characters.

"Veteran Huo Guang greets Your Majesty."

"The humble minister Ren Gong sends his regards to Your Majesty."

"The humble minister Li Guang greets Your Majesty."

……

These courtiers came to greet them one by one, interrupting the proceedings.

Liu He didn't speak, he just watched them put on a show.

"Just now, I met these people in Beique and chatted with them for a few words, so I was a little late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Huo Guang said.

"Since there is a reason for the incident, I forgive you all." Liu He said lightly, "My dear friends, please sit down. Someone will come and add some couches..."

"Sit down now. I have something important to report." Huo Guang said proudly.

"Even if Father Zhong doesn't sit down, other courtiers might want to sit down?" Liu Heyi pointed out.

"Your Majesty, these courtiers behind me are going to present the memorial jointly with me today, so if I don't sit down, they won't sit down either."

Huo Guang's words attracted everyone's attention.

This is not about jointly reporting to the emperor, it is simply about leading people to fight with the emperor, which is very domineering.

But even if he can't be domineering, Huo Guang has been domineering for more than ten years, not more than this time, but not less than this time.

"Huh? The person standing behind the general is Prime Minister Ren Qing?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, I am a minor minister." Ren Gong did not shy away. He stepped forward and stood side by side with Huo Guang, with the intention of advancing and retreating together.

"Isn't Ren Qing ill? If he comes to attend the court meeting without notifying me of his recovery, I'm afraid it's unethical." Liu He asked with a half-smile.

"Wei Chen is indeed ill and has not recovered yet, but I heard that the big man is in critical condition, so I can only boldly go to court despite my illness."

The audacious Ren Gong actually dared to be so disrespectful to the emperor in public.

Zhang Anshi, Cai Yi and the others were so angry that they were blowing their beards and staring. They were all eager to come out and compete with them.

But Liu He gave them a look and stopped them.

It's not their turn yet.

"Well, it seems that Ren Qing is really a loyal minister. He is willing to go to court despite being sick. It is really commendable..."

"It's a pity that the one who fell ill with you, Cheng Cheng, is a swindler who deceives the world and steals his reputation. He actually deceived you into pretending to be ill, which disappoints me!"

When he came to the last few words, Liu He deliberately raised his voice.

This stung Ren Gong's secret pain, and he felt ashamed and annoyed, and his arrogant arrogance finally subsided a little.

"Your Majesty, what I want to report is of great importance. I hope your Majesty will allow me to report it now." Huo Guang said forcefully.

"No matter how big the matter that Father Zhong wants to report is, it is not as big as mine. Let me finish first, and then Father Zhong will talk about it." Liu He wanted to seize this opportunity.

"But……"

"Does it mean that Father Zhong thinks he is older than me?"

What a ambiguity, what a pun.

Everyone in the front hall recognized the two meanings contained in the word "big".

Which is more important, the matter or the status?

Huo Guang's answer was not good.

No matter how anxious he was at this moment, he would not dare to answer this question.

"Since Father Zhong won't say anything, then I will."

"Last night, I received urgent military information from Liang Yannian, the magistrate of Lingwu County..."

"Fan Mingyou and Tian Guangming rebelled under the name of Qing Junzi under Lingwu City. Their 7 troops are heading towards Chang'an City. They should have reached Sanshui by now."

"In addition, Fan Xu, the lieutenant of the Central Base, Huo Feng, the envoy to protect the emperor, and Su Chang, the leader of Jinwu, failed to comply with the decree and intended to rebel. They have been punished."

"Jingzhao Yin Deng Polu, You Fufeng Fan Anning, Tingwei Li Guang and others are very close to Fan Mingyou and others, so they are not suitable for holding important positions. I have issued an edict to let Wei Xiang, Xiao Wangzhi, Huang Ba and others perform their duties... …”

Liu He's words were not fast, but the murderous intent in them could not be concealed at all.

Huo Guang only knew that Su Chang was dead, but he didn't expect that Fan Huan and Huo Feng were also killed by the emperor. This sword was so fast.

He looked at the emperor in disbelief, never expecting that he had a vicious side.

The court officials who didn't know why were also stunned.

They were used to the emperor's approachable appearance and thought he was a benevolent king. How could they have imagined that the emperor would immediately raise the butcher's knife?
Moreover, it is easy to lift the butcher knife, but difficult to put it down. Chang'an City may not have a peaceful life.

"I have finished speaking. Father Zhong can now say whatever he has to say."

The emperor has finished speaking, what else can he say?

The emperor spoke first, probably just to set the tone for Fan Mingyou's affairs.

Huo Guang is here to stir up trouble today, and of course he will not back down easily.

"I think your Majesty's move is inappropriate and unbecoming of a wise king."

"Oh? Father Zhong, do you think I am a foolish king?"

This conversation happened once a few months ago.

That time, the person who was caught by the emperor's words was Changxin Shaofu Xia Housheng, and he almost died in the imperial edict.

Huo Guang is not the pedantic Xia Housheng, nor is he the powerless Xia Housheng. "I dare not say that Your Majesty is a foolish king, but if you handle this matter so recklessly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to be a wise king." Huo Guang said unhurriedly.

"Well, tell me, Father Zhong, what did I say wrong?"

"Last night, I also received military information from Beidi County, but it was not from Lingwu County Magistrate, but from Fan Mingyou, the general of Liao Dynasty."

Huo Guang still calls Fan Mingyou General Du Liao, which means a lot.

"General Fan Mingyou and others from the Liao Dynasty did not want to rebel. They just believed that His Majesty was instigated by treacherous ministers. They first doubted the loyalty of the soldiers who went to the north of the Great Wall, and then issued an edict to prevent them from returning south..."

"This edict has chilled the hearts of the soldiers. In order for the Han Dynasty's foundation not to be damaged, for His Majesty not to be deceived, and for the common people of the world not to be poisoned... they have to raise troops to clear the emperor's side!"

Huo Guang stood upright and spoke these words slowly and slowly, without any hesitation or lag.

All of a sudden, those courtiers who didn't know what was going on started talking about it.

Liu He looked at Huo Guang with admiration and disgust in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the general was so capable of treating a deer as a horse, and was able to package rebellion into a matter of loyalty.

"The general is saying that this is all my fault?" Liu He asked with a sullen face.

"Your Majesty has just taken charge, so mistakes are inevitable!" Huo Guang held his head high, without any intention of fear or retreat.

He once again showed the style of an assistant minister and criticized the emperor's mistakes in person without feeling anything wrong at all.

Because Huo Guang has been forced into a corner, if he doesn't be tougher, the entire Huo family will fall apart soon.

And he also has strong confidence: the Shangguan Queen Mother's decree is his greatest weapon.

Liu He could not help but feel a little surprised and surprised.

The situation in Chang'an has temporarily stabilized, but the [-] rebels under Fan Mingyou and others are still watching, and the danger in Chang'an City has not been eliminated.

Liu He thought that Huo Guang would find a way to control Chang'an City, that Huo Guang would escape from Chang'an City overnight, and even thought that Huo Guang would bargain with him to get Fan Mingyou and others to surrender.

But he never thought that Huo Guang would abandon his most valued reputation as a loyal minister and confuse the truth with the rebellion of Fan Mingyou and others as a matter of loyalty.

It sounds unreasonable at first, but this is a matter of position.

The emperor said they were rebels, Huo Guang said they were loyal to the Qing emperor, and each had his own reasons.

If Liu He was Emperor Xiaowu at the height of his power, Huo Guang would certainly not dare to say this.

But his prestige has not yet reached its peak. At best, he can only be regarded as equal to Huo Guang.

Liu He looked at Zhang Anshi and considered whether he could send someone to capture Huo Guang on the spot.

But he looked at the courtiers behind Huo Guang and thought about the [-] rebels who were getting closer and closer.

I still suppressed the restlessness in my heart for the time being.

There are many people and courtiers who don't know why, and there are also many people and courtiers who care about the Huo family.

Now it is just Fan Mingyou who has rebelled, and has no direct connection with Huo Guang.

If Huo Guang is taken down now, word of it may cause civil unrest, and Fan Mingyou and others will make a fuss about it.

Maybe more people and courtiers who don't know why will be involved in their ranks.

Many things can easily go out of shape when spread from Chang'an to other counties.

"Chang'an Monthly" came too late. If the influence of "Chang'an Monthly" was greater, Liu He could do a lot more.

Looking at Huo Guang, Liu He clenched his fists.

Today, Huo Guang came to him to fight for his life, and it was no longer useful to place his hope in the ethics of kings and ministers.

And I'm afraid Huo Guang didn't come to be a loyal minister to admonish him, but to be a powerful minister to threaten him.

Maybe... history will return to the original timeline: Does Huo Guang already want to depose himself as the emperor?

Liu He calculated the cards in both sides' hands.

He has the entire city of Chang'an, the emperor's righteousness, the support of most courtiers, and a part of the people's hearts.

Huo Guang had an army of [-], thanks to the work of his auxiliary ministers, the support of a few courtiers, and a portion of the people's support.

Evenly matched, evenly matched.

In addition, he also has Han Zeng's [-] troops on the way - which may become the final bargaining chip for the decisive victory.

However, Liu He wanted to see if there were any other cards in Huo Guang's hand that he didn't know about.

"Since Father Zhong feels that I have done something wrong, I would like to ask Father Zhong how he thinks I should remedy the situation?" Liu He asked deliberately hesitantly.

"First of all, we must kill Cai Yi to appease the anger of the soldiers in the north!"

"I once again issued an edict to appease and stabilize the morale of the soldiers marching to the north."

"Then I will issue an edict for my sins and apologize to the people of the world."

"Finally, the army returned south to reward the meritorious soldiers."

After Huo Guang finished speaking, before Liu He had time to react, Cai Yi knelt down with a "plop".

"Your Majesty, the old traitor Huo Guang is a slanderer. He is a slanderer and avenges others. Your Majesty must not be deceived by them. Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

After Cai Yi found out last night that Fan Mingyou and others wanted to "clear the emperor and kill Cai Yi", he never had a moment of peace. He spent the whole night in panic and fear.

Now that Huo Guang asked the emperor to kill him in public, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst.

The emperor has become more and more tough in the past few months, but facing the intimidation of [-] troops and Huo Guang's counterattack, Cai Yi is really unsure whether he can withstand the pressure.

Back then, although Emperor Xiaojing finally put down the Seven Kings Rebellion, he killed Chao Cuo first.

Cai Yi lay there crying without regard for face, which was very unsightly, and he was about to faint from shortness of breath while crying.

Liu He was a little upset by the noise, and was afraid that Cai Yi would cry to death in the front hall.

"Fan Ke."

"Wei Chen is here."

"Help Cai Qing to the side hall to rest, and send the imperial doctor to take care of him."

"promise."

Fan Ke was very smart and saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere at today's court meeting. He couldn't help the emperor much, but he could still do this.

Soon, Cai Yi was helped down, and the quietness and majesty in the front hall returned to a little bit.

At this time, some courtiers looked at Liu He differently.

It became a little vague and ambiguous, and they seemed to think that what Huo Guang said had some truth to it.

In other words, they didn't necessarily think Huo Guang was right, but they were afraid of the murderous [-]-strong army.

If you have strength, what you say makes sense.

"Besides these things, do I have to do anything else?"

"Your Majesty made such a big mistake, naturally because he was young and ignorant, and I am afraid he is not able to govern himself..."

"Now I am afraid that only the general can persuade the two generals Fan and Tian to stop their troops. Therefore, your majesty should respect the general as the auxiliary minister and take charge of all court and military power."

"If your Majesty is greedy for power and cannot let go of the government, Chang'an City, Guanzhong and other counties around the world will be affected by war."

The person who spoke was Ren Gong. Liu He looked at this person sideways, regretting that he had not freed up his hands to capture him and take him to prison to keep him company.

Huo Guang's words just now took into account the face of both parties, so Ren Gong would be a charlatan who acted as a vanguard for the tiger, which would be a hundred times more despicable.

It seems that Huo Guang is really ready to depose the emperor.

Liu He didn't expect that he would reach this point.

However, I am not the king of Changyi in history.

"Have the General and the Prime Minister finished speaking?"

The two of them did not salute and agree, but they did not say anything else.

"Now that the two beloved ladies have finished speaking, I also have a few words to say." After speaking, Liu He stood up and walked to the jade steps.

"I don't agree to anything Huo Guang mentioned."

"Cai Yi, I won't kill him."

"I will not touch the traitorous general."

"I will not admit my sin."

"I am not afraid of the rebels!"

"I will not return the government's affairs."

"After I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"

Liu He stood with his hands behind his back and said these few words coldly, expressing his attitude clearly.

Huo Guang and Ren Gong looked gloomy, Zhang Anshi let out a long sigh, but the rest of the neutral people remained silent.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to have your own way? Don't you think about the world, the country, and yourself?"

As Huo Guang spoke, he put his hand into his arms, as if he wanted to take something.

Liu He saw it and his eyelids twitched. What did he want to take?
　There is another 5k ticket today, later on, and Huo Guang’s plot will basically come to an end here.

　　People scolded me a lot, but it may be my first time writing a historical article, and I don’t know what people want to read, so there are inevitably some problems with the writing. I won’t make other excuses.

　　As for everyone hating the protagonist, maybe I hate it too?

　　Just like now, if he is killed in the next chapter, many people will applaud him.
