Chapter 146 The Great General Wang Hongnian
Chapter 146 The Great General Wang Hongnian ([-])
Two years later
Dijie two years
A shocking news spread throughout the city of Chang'an.
Huo Guang, the great general of Sima, died of illness.
Huo Guang was in power for a total of 19 years. During the 19 years, he took recuperation as the basic national policy and reduced the number of refugees in Dahan from more than 500 million to 70.
Most of the people's livelihood in the world has recovered. As long as the imperial government continues to implement the national policy of recuperation, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe in a few years.
A minister of power who has never usurped the throne in his life, has always respected the puppet emperor, and has devoted himself to governing the country.
Although he is a powerful minister, he is also a loyal minister.

Emperor Liu Bing, who heard the news, was both delighted and sighed.
Glad that the mountain that weighed on her head passed away, it was easier to deal with those idiots of the Huo family than Huo Guang.
Sigh at the death of a capable minister who was loyal to the great man.
Liu Bingji has complicated feelings for Huo Guang.
On the one hand, he recognized Huo Guang's ability and character. On the other hand, he was dissatisfied with Huo Guang's control of the government, especially the Huo family's murder of Xu Pingjun.
If the Huo family simply controlled the government, then Liu Bingji hadn't actually committed murder. At most, he wanted to demote the Huo family to civilians and never allow them to hold power again.
But after the Huo family killed Xu Pingjun, he and the Huo family had an undying feud, and only by destroying the Huo family could the hatred in his heart be eliminated.
"Get off!"
After thinking about it again and again, Liu Bingji did not immediately launch a counterattack against the Huo family. After all, the Northern Army Tiger Talisman was in the hands of the Huo family.
Even if Huo Guang died, he had to be careful.
Therefore, he planned to go to Huo's house to mourn for Huo Guang, and to play the role of the puppet emperor, so that the Huo family members thought that they had completely resigned themselves to being a puppet, and it was impossible to resist, so as to lower the Huo family's vigilance towards him, and then find someone Chance killed the Huo family with one blow.
When he came to Huo's house, Liu Bingji squeezed tears and looked at Huo Guang in the coffin with reluctance in his eyes.
"General, have a good journey—" Liu Bingji was crying, as if he was really sad.
"Your Majesty, please mourn." Huo Yu, the new Patriarch of the Huo family, supported the emperor Liu Bingji, who was dressed in mourning.
Then, in the next few days, Liu Bing sent Huo Guang into the Qilin Pavilion and became one of the heroes of the Qilin Pavilion.
In doing so, on the one hand, it is to affirm Huo Guang's contribution to the great man, and on the other hand, it is to continue to paralyze the Huo family.
The Huo family didn't realize the danger was coming, they still felt that it was no different from before, and the emperor would continue to be their good baby of the Huo family.
They even expanded Huo Guang's mausoleum to the size of the emperor's mausoleum, and all the funerary objects in the tomb also reached the size of the emperor, which is a blatant arrogance.
But the Huo family still didn't take it seriously.
When Huo Guang was alive before, the Huo family had done this kind of presumptuous thing more than once. They had long been accustomed to it and thought it was just a trivial matter.

Late night
Royal Palace
"Minister, Zhongchang Attendant Wang Hongnian pays homage to His Majesty!" Wang Hongnian took the initiative to find the emperor, planning to follow Wang Changjiong's reminder before his death to betray Huo Guang.
The Wang family has a close relationship with the Huo family. In the eyes of Emperor Liu Bingji, the Wang and Huo families are allies.
Therefore, Emperor Liu Bing was a little surprised by Wang Hongnian's arrival, but he calmly asked, "What's the matter?"
"The Huo family's trespass, please punish the Huo family!" Wang Hongnian didn't understand so many twists and turns, so he went straight to the point.
"Huh?" Emperor Liu Bing already looked at Wang Hongnian curiously. He didn't expect that the first one who chose to jump back was the Huo family's ally, the Wang family.
But Liu Bing was already worried that Wang Hongnian was sent by the Huo family to test him, so he also tested Wang Hongnian in turn, shaking his head to Wang Hongnian and saying: "The general is for the country and the people, a little overstepping is nothing to worry about."
After all, Liu Bingji looked at Wang Hongnian, wanting to see his reaction.
Wang Hongnian also expected the emperor's temptation.
Of course, he didn't guess this by himself. It was his cousin Wang Ling who reminded him before that when he reverses, there is a high probability that he will be tested by the emperor, because the emperor is too cautious.
Therefore, Wang Hongnian said righteously: "Your Majesty, the country has state laws, and the family has family rules. Merit is merit, and demerit is demerit. How can you allow the general's relatives to do things that are arrogance because of the merits of the general before his death? Is this in line with the etiquette?"
Wang Ling also taught him these words.
Seeing Wang Hongnian's attitude that doesn't seem to be lying, Emperor Liu Bing already thought to himself: Is it true that he was not sent by the Huo family to test me, and really wants to betray the Huo family and join me?
The extremely cautious emperor Liu Bing did not easily believe in the allies of the enemy, but pretended to be sleepy and said: "You step back first, I want to rest, what's the matter, we can discuss it tomorrow."
"promise!"
Wang Hongnian left respectfully, and then returned to the Wang family mansion.
……
Royal Mansion
"What did your Majesty say?" Wang Ling asked.
"Your Majesty is sleepy. If you want to sleep, I will come out first." Wang Hongnian replied truthfully.
"Hehe, His Majesty the emperor is really cautious." Wang Ling smiled lightly, and then said to Wang Hongnian, "You insist on reporting the Huo family to the emperor every day. After a long time, the emperor will naturally trust you."
……
The next day
"Your Majesty, the Huo family is walking on the road that belongs exclusively to the emperor. This is not in line with the etiquette system. Your Majesty, please punish the Huo family!"
"Since the relatives of the general, let them go."
……
On the third day
"Your Majesty, I have found evidence of the Huo family's corruption."
"This matter will be handled by Doctor Yushi."
"But Doctor Yushi is also from the Huo family."
……
Fourth day
"Your Majesty, the Huo family..."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"Do you have any enmity with the Huo family?"
"No, I just have a sense of justice too much, and simply can't understand the Huo family's behavior."
"I believe it."
……
Under the attack of Wang Hongnian's stalker, Emperor Liu Bingji finally chose to believe.
"Wang Hongnian, you have repeatedly attacked the relatives of the great general. I cannot forgive you. Now I will demote you from the post-general to the guard of the Northern Army."
Emperor Liu Bing already smiled, he was going up in secret.
On the surface, Wang Hongnian was demoted from general to school lieutenant, but in fact, Wang Hongnian was inserted into the most important Northern Army.
At that time, even if Huo's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, takes the tiger talisman, and leads the northern army to rebel, Liu Bing already has a school lieutenant in the northern army, so he can fight back.
"Minister, obey the order!" Wang Hongnian knew that the emperor really trusted him this time, so he was also very happy.
While demoting Wang Hongnian to the rank of Nursing Captain of the Northern Army, Emperor Liu Bing had already promoted several relatives of the Huo family in the Northern Army to rank up.
Some were promoted to the prefect of a county, some were promoted to generals, and some were promoted to Jiuqing.
Although these Huo family members have been promoted in official positions, they are gradually separated from the Northern Army, and gradually lose control of the most important army in Chang'an City.
The most important thing in a coup is to master military power.
Emperor Liu Bing was already cautiously moving his official positions, and he did not dare to directly remove the Huo family from their official positions like Liu He, for fear of overthrowing the others.
But even so, he was very frightened, with a lot of cold sweat on his back, he couldn't help muttering: "With the Huo family here, I really feel like a light on my back."
Here, Emperor Liu Bing is carefully infiltrating the military power of the Northern Army.
On the other side, everyone in the Huo family was still drunk and dreaming, and celebrated each other's promotion.
These Huo family members don't seem to understand that sometimes, being promoted is not necessarily a good thing.
Just like the Wang family, for the Wang family, even Sangong is not as good as the prefect of Liaodong, because the base of the Wang family is in Liaodong.
Similarly, for a family of powerful officials like the Huo family, it is most important to firmly grasp the military power, otherwise, even if all the children of the family are three men, it is just a dream.
