I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 200 Loyal to the Emperor or Huo Guang (subscribe)
After a few days, Xia Housheng was released from the imperial prison as expected.

Not long after, he redeemed all the officials, Confucian scholars and common people in Qianshou who were related to this matter.

The officials and common people in Chang'an City couldn't understand the whole thing for a while.

Many good people are already waiting to see all kinds of punishments-this is the greatest source of fun for the spectators.

Thousands of years later, a person once satirized this matter, saying that those spectators who enjoy watching others being tortured are a group of ducks whose necks are pinched.

It's a pity that the big man doesn't have such a person at the moment.

No one was tortured, and there was no bloody torture to pass the time. People paid much less attention to this matter.

Everyone felt a little boring.

Weiyang Palace was silent as always, the General was silent as always, Taixue was silent as always.

Even if people are curious about this matter, they dare not go to these places to inquire about the news at will.

Therefore, the house built by Xia Housheng and Xia Hou became the most eye-catching place.

Many people thought that the turmoil would rise again, but in the end it backfired.

Xia Housheng summoned the released Confucian scholars and dismissed doctoral officers to his compound.

After closing the door for half a day, they all came out.

When acquaintances asked them what happened in that house, the ugly-faced people only said that they were reprimanded by Xia Housheng, and they were unwilling to say anything else.

As for the instigator, Xia Houjian, after he entered the house, he never came out again.

Soon after, gossip started to spread. Xia Houjian, who was in his 40s, was locked in his study by Xia Housheng. He was ordered to copy the Five Classics from beginning to end a hundred times, and he was not allowed to leave the house until he finished copying.

And also from this day, news came out from Xia Housheng's house, because Xia Housheng had arrived at half a volume of the newly annotated "Analects of Confucius", so he needed to study it with great concentration, and declined all visitors within half a year.

In this way, a Confucian chaos that would have spread widely in the Han Empire ended in a somewhat anticlimactic manner.

The parties involved were vague, and the onlookers only discussed a little bit, and finally stopped because they lost interest and conversation resources.

The edict to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple name soon spread to all counties and states.

This inevitably caused some discussions and conspiracies in the local area. Some people like "Xiahoujian" also wanted to fish in troubled waters, and gain a reputation for themselves by blocking the matter of giving Emperor Xiaowu a temple name.

But before they could take any action, the news that Xia Houjian and others almost died in the imperial prison followed.

Immediately, all the conspiracies and tricks disappeared, and no one dared to stand up to stop the temple title of Emperor Xiaowu.

When the Confucian scholars died down, the officials and common people of the Han Empire had more and more evaluations of the county magistrate and Huo Guang.

Not all of them are positive comments, but at least they represent some kind of neutral affirmation.

The general was naturally the assistant minister who acted decisively and without hesitation.

For him, dealing with the turmoil of a small group of Confucian scholars was not a difficult task.

What's more, the general has solved many things that are a hundred times more dangerous than this one, and the enemy he faces is a hundred times stronger.

Therefore, the general's calmness, determination and firmness in this matter did not surprise everyone.

And it was the emperor who shocked the Han officials and the people the most.

When King Changyi was established as the Son of Heaven, people firmly believed that he was a puppet like Emperor Xiaozhao.

But unexpectedly, in just a few months, he quietly accomplished the big event of giving Emperor Xiaowu a temple title.

This is something that Emperor Xiaozhao wanted to do before but failed to do.

The same assistant minister, one emperor made it, but the other did not, which at least shows that the current emperor is much better than Emperor Xiaozhao.

Although the Son of Heaven is still young, he seems to have a lot of skill in accomplishing such a great event.

In this way, from Chang'an to Sanfu, and then from Sanfu to the counties and states of Dahan, those officials who once wanted to please Huo Guang had to start thinking about a problem.

Which is more important, Emperor Liu He or General Huo Guang?
It is true that the great general is powerful, but the big man is still named Liu after all!

Today, the emperor calls the general Zhongfu; tomorrow, who knows what will happen?

The emperor is not an ordinary person, and he gave Emperor Xiaowu a temple name. Does that mean that he wants to be another "Emperor Xiaowu"?

When Emperor Xiaowu killed his ministers, he would not be merciful at all.

People's hearts are different. These arguments and conjectures show that Liu He's goal has been achieved.

He has established his initial prestige in the Great Han Dynasty Hall and Jianghu, letting people know that the Great Han not only has a great general, but also a real emperor.

However, the temple name was listed, but the turmoil did not stop.

Although the Confucian scholars have temporarily died down on the surface, they have faint worries about the emperor.

Even more contempt for Huo Guang, the ignorant auxiliary minister.

At some point, other disturbances will occur.

……

In Changle Palace, Liu He had come to pay respects to the Empress Dowager Shangguan early on.

There is no other reason, today is the Empress Dowager's 21st birthday - because of Cai Yi's suggestion, the real age has been changed to a few years older.

Although the queen mother said that there will be no holy birthday ceremony this year, as the most filial son, Liu He should still "express".

More importantly, there is a family banquet in Changle Palace today.

Of course, this banquet is not the Liu family's family banquet, but the Huo family's family banquet.

Except for Liu He and the Queen Mother of Shangguan, the rest of the people who came to participate were all surnamed Huo.

At this family banquet, Liu He will meet his "Queen" Huo Chengjun for the first time.

Of course, there is also his mother-in-law Huo Xian.

No matter if it was the Empress Dowager Shangguan or Liu He, dealing with Huo Guang should be enough trouble, let alone dealing with Huo Xian.

However, they have no reason to refuse.

Because this family banquet was proposed by Huo Guang.

In name, it was to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, but in fact, I'm afraid there were ulterior motives.

Either he wanted Liu He and Huo Chengjun to cultivate some relationship.

Either it was Xingshi's questioning—the Empress Dowager Shangguan stopped Huo Guang from killing Xia Housheng, which was bound to make some people unhappy.

Since both the queen mother and the emperor are outsiders, Liu He naturally wants to come to Weiyang Palace early to be a companion with his mother, and discuss some coping strategies in advance.

……

Because he has been here several times, Liu He is already familiar with Changle Palace.

Facing the Empress Dowager Shangguan who was several years younger than himself in actual age, he could also call out the word "mother queen" very calmly.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan didn't give up too much, and she responded very freely.

The mother is kind and the son is filial. If Huo sees it, he might be envious.
