"Father, aren't we going to do it?" Huo Yu, the son of Huo Guang, asked in confusion.

"Who did the emperor resign yesterday?" Huo Guang asked lightly.

"Three lords and nine ministers have all been dismissed. Yesterday even those who were six hundred shi were dismissed." Huo Yu said eagerly.

Many officials in the court were either from the Huo family or members of the Huo family. As a result, most of them were resigned by the emperor Liu He and replaced by cronies brought by the emperor from Changyi.

"It seems that it's time." Huo Guang smiled, everything was under control.

"We're starting to fight back now?" Huo Yu excitedly said, but he still didn't understand why we didn't fight back earlier and had to wait for more than 20 days, so he asked, "Why didn't we fight back directly at that time?"

"If the emperor doesn't dismiss all the ministers in the court, how can we fight back?" Huo Guang laughed.

"If the emperor doesn't dismiss all the ministers in the court, how can we fight back?" Huo Yu repeated Huo Guang's words, half understanding.

"Every time the emperor dismisses an official, our Huo family will have a firm ally." Huo Guang felt helpless for his ineffective son. Under the leadership, I am afraid it will be difficult to end well, alas...

"Almost." Wang Changjiong said.

"Uncle Clan, what do you mean? What's the matter?" Wang Hongnian was puzzled.

"Hongyin is your own younger brother, why is there such a big gap between you two?" Wang Changjiong shook his head and sighed, and then explained: "Six hundred stones have already been dismissed, and His Majesty has almost offended those who should be offended, and opposed the emperor. There are enough people now, and it's time for the general to act."

"Oh oh oh, so that's how it is." Wang Hongnian suddenly realized, and then curled his lips and explained: "My brother Yin followed the path of a Confucian scholar, while I took the path of a general. It's different, and I can't be blamed."

"kill!"

Thousands of soldiers of the northern army entered the palace.

When the soldiers in the palace saw that the leader was General Huo Guang, they put down their weapons and surrendered without even a symbolic resistance.

"Your Majesty, Huo Guang has rebelled!" Emperor Liu He's confidant hurried over.

"Stop them quickly!" Emperor Liu He was also panicked, he didn't expect that Huo Guang would dare to lead troops directly into the palace.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers in the palace have surrendered!" the aide cried tremblingly.

"What?" Emperor Liu He turned pale with shock, "What are you talking about?!"

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Northern Army had already entered the palace.

"Don't kill me!" Emperor Liu He was terrified. He had never seen such a situation before. At this critical juncture, he actually surrendered directly to Huo Guang.

"Your Majesty, don't panic." Huo Guang sneered.

Liu He's cronies from Changyi Kingdom also knelt on the ground and surrendered. They had only been the Sangong Jiuqing for less than [-] days, and Huo Guang led the army to forcibly end their political career.

In the face of powerful military power, all conspiracies and tricks are so fragile. No matter how well the tricks are played, facing the army that directly kills the whole family, it can only be captured with nothing.

"Huo Guang! You will be infamous forever!" A very loyal confidant of Emperor Liu He angrily reprimanded Huo Guang.

"It's you who will leave a bad smell for thousands of years!" Huo Guang sneered: "How many people have you offended in the past 20 days, don't you have any idea? Which minister in the court hates you to the core?"

No.20 Seven Days of Emperor Liu He's Accession to the Throne
Chang'an Weiyang Palace

main hall
All court officials, whether they have been dismissed or not, are gathered in the main hall at this moment, and they all glared at the emperor Liu He in front of them.

Liu He, the king of Changyi, had only been emperor for about twenty days, and he made the court go crazy, and more than half of the ministers in the court were forcibly resigned by him.

"I am the emperor, how dare you do this?!" Although Huo Guang's life was in Huo Guang's hands, Liu He still wanted to use his status as emperor to intimidate the ministers.

"King Changyi, do you think you can continue to be the emperor with your virtue?" Huo Guang said directly and indifferently.

"Huo Guang, what, what do you want?" Although he was very scared, as the emperor, Liu He still had to muster up his courage.

At this time, Huo Guang asked Wang Changjiong to start declaring Liu He's crimes:

"Liu He, king of Changyi, did not pay homage to the ancestral temple of Gaozu before he ascended the throne, and he committed the same crime."

"Liu He, the king of Changyi, lied in the harem and molested the queen mother. He committed two crimes."

"Liu He, the king of Changyi, dismissed his ministers without reason. He committed three crimes."

"Liu He, the king of Changyi, has four crimes for fighting cocks and walking dogs in the palace."

"Liu He, the king of Changyi, forcibly robbed the women of the people. He committed five crimes."

"Liu He, the king of Changyi..."

Wang Changjiong read some of the most important crimes, and then said directly: "Liu He, the king of Changyi, committed a total of 120 crimes."

At this time, the Empress Dowager Shangguan also said: "Liu He, the king of Changyi, is licentious and has no principles. He is not like a king, so he should be deposed!"

All the ministers agreed one after another: "Liu He, the king of Changyi, should depose his emperor."

"You!" Liu He was shocked. He thought that the result of this coup would at most be that he would be Huo Guang's puppet like Liu Fuling in the future, but who knew that Huo Guang would depose him directly, and he would not even have the chance to become a puppet emperor. give him.

Almost all the ministers in the court agreed to depose Liu He as the emperor, but no one supported him. This was also because he had offended too many people by rushing to install his cronies in the court.

Politics is to make many friends and few enemies, and then use the more to crush the few to win. There is no one like him, Liu He, who offended almost everyone as soon as he came up. His enemies are completely fooling around.

Facing the critical moment when the emperor was about to be deposed, Liu He had a flash of inspiration and said to the ministers: "I heard that the emperor has seven contenders, even though he perishes, he will not lose the world."

This sentence means that as long as the emperor has seven ministers who dare to speak out, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not lose the world. If he loses the world, it means that the ministers are all traitors.

Now if Liu He loses the throne, it means that there are no loyal ministers in the court, but all treacherous ministers.

All the ministers were speechless by Liu He's sudden remark. After all, no one dared to admit that he was a traitor.

"Hahaha!" At this time, Huo Guang laughed loudly, and sneered at Changyi King Liu He: "You are no longer the emperor, so this sentence does not apply!"

All the ministers suddenly realized and sneered: "That's right, you are no longer the emperor. You have been deposed as emperor by the queen mother just now. What's the use of saying this now?"

"You guys!" Liu He was completely desperate, and he could not keep his throne as emperor no matter what.

Afterwards, the ministers forced Liu He, who was paralyzed in despair, onto the carriage, and asked the groom to send the deposed emperor Liu He back to Changyi Kingdom.

At the same time, Huo Guang executed all the cronies of Changyi Kingdom brought by Liu He on the charge of their ineffective assistance and luring the emperor into a faint!

Liu He, the king of Changyi, offended all the ministers of the court and central government after only 27 days as the emperor, and was finally kicked out of the emperor's position by everyone.

As Liu He was deposed, the ministers who had been forcibly resigned also resumed their original positions one after another.

Wang Hongnian was re-elected as a Zhongchang servant, Wang Changjiong was re-elected as the prime minister, and so were the other ministers, as if everything was a dream.

Come fast, go fast.

But then, everyone began to discuss, they were discussing who would be the next emperor.

According to the order of succession, it should now be the turn of Guangling King Liu Xu to inherit the throne.

But King Guangling has always been known as a fool, which is well known to everyone.

King Guangling made his feudal country a mess, and the people in the feudal country complained a lot.

With King Guangling's reputation so bad, it would be difficult for anyone who explicitly supported King Guangling's ascension to avoid being secretly stabbed in the back.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and finally pulled out Liu Bingji who was adopted in Yeting.

"It must not be done. Liu Bing is already a descendant of a sinner. How can we allow the descendant of a sinner to ascend to the throne?"

Although Emperor Liu Che finally rehabilitated Prince Liu Ju, it is a fact that Prince Liu Ju rebelled, and even the people of Chang'an were mobilized by him.

Therefore, the descendants of Prince Liu Ju are all descendants of sinners.

"Back then, there were many doubts about the matter of the prince. It's hard to say whether the sinner is not the sinner. I think Liu Bing can inherit the great rule." Huo Guang tried his best to push Liu Bing to the throne.

The ministers did not dare to speak against Huo Guang, and many of them were Huo Guang's henchmen, so they all agreed: "The emperor's great-grandson Liu is already ill, and he can inherit the throne!"
