I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 280 My Blood Letter, Do You Dare To Accept It? ! (seeking subscription)

Gong Sui didn't ask any more questions, but asked slowly: "If the old man's guess is correct, Wang Xian is dead, so the person involved in this matter is probably dead, and His Majesty should not be able to find any evidence."

"Since His Majesty can't find evidence, then what Mr. Zhang said just now is not empty words. Could it be that His Majesty can directly issue an order to go to the General's Mansion to arrest Huo Yu?"

"When the time comes, should I send Habayashiro, Kimonro, or Changyirou?"

Gong Sui had a serious face, with the demeanor of a veteran.

He is Zhang Anshi's subordinate, and he has never relied on the old to sell the old, but at this moment, he "reprimanded" the other party like a lesson to the younger generation.

Although Zhang Anshi was a cautious and kind person, he was still a little unhappy and wanted to stand up and refute.

However, Zhang Anshi saw that the emperor looked normal.

Suddenly, he realized that in the greenhouse hall, Gong Sui, Wang Ji and other Changyi officials were the most trusted people of the emperor.

And now I am the one who is most distant from the emperor.

Thinking of the joint here, Zhang Anshi immediately adjusted his position, and sat down on the couch in an orderly manner.

"No matter which team is sent to capture Huo Yu, even if Mr. Zhang Fu leads him personally, I'm afraid the general Huo Guang will turn against him on the spot as soon as he shows up."

Gong Sui didn't finish his sentence, but looked at the others meaningfully.

At that time, the emperor can obediently stay in Weiyang Palace, waiting for Huo Guang to bring someone to destroy him.

"So, from the old man's point of view, what the gentlemen said just now was heroic, but they were all useless words. To use a vulgar folk saying, useless words are called bullshit."

Although the words were vulgar, Zhang Anshi and others could not refute them.

"This old man thinks the same as Mr. Gong. He wants to take down Huo Yu. Without evidence, it won't work if he relies on honest schemes, unless..."

Wang Shiyan's words are exhaustive and meaningless, and the omitted words have already been said just now.

Unless, Huo Guang is overthrown—but, if you don't check Huo Yu, how can you trip Huo Guang?

This seems to be a deadlock.

Liu He didn't say a word, but he had already thought it through.

The purpose of releasing this secret letter today is not to let Zhang Anshi and the others take the letter and go all out.

Facing Huo Guang face to face, even if he tied the Empress Dowager Shangguan and Liu He together, plus all the courtiers present, he couldn't compare to Huo Guang.

Now, Liu He wanted to show an attitude.

After leaving a moment for Zhang Anshi and others to fully consider Wang Ji and Gong Sui's words, Liu He finally stood up amidst the flickering lights.

This move immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Among the ministers, there are the veterans I brought from Changyi, the brawns I selected from the court, and the talents I personally promoted."

"No matter which way you come from, I believe that you are loyal to the big man."

"What is the current situation in the court, I think you can see clearly."

When Liu He said this, he stopped again and let others imagine.

"Father Zhong's meritorious service in assisting the government is unquestionable."

"However, the minister who assists the government is still a minister. The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, let alone Huo Yu?"

"If it were someone else, I would immediately ask the general to send him to prison. The reason why I am afraid of rats today is because Zhongfu is so powerful that he has become too powerful. No one can check and balance him."

"When I was in Changyi Kingdom, I often heard people talking about the Huo Party's power. I was young and ignorant at the time, so I didn't believe it."

"Now I have been in Chang'an for a few months, and I have also seen the intricate forces of the Huo Party."

"The Huo Party has blocked the way of speech, impeded land acquisition, and destroyed laws and regulations."

"I believe that Father Zhong has no different intentions at this time, but Huo Dang must have the heart of disobedience."

"For the great Han country to be safe, for the great man's people not to suffer, for the great man's officials not to complain, for the fame of Zhong Fu and Champion Hou not to be ruined."

"I decided to cut Huo!"

Cutting Huo is to take away the power of Huo Dang one by one, let Huo Dang be dealt with one by one, make Huo Guang a lonely family, and finally kill him with one blow.

The Huo Party is very powerful, no matter whether there is real evidence or not, Liu He must weaken it little by little, otherwise it may cause turmoil.

In fact, before that, the things Liu He did in private were also weakening Huo Guang's power.

But the speed and progress are too slow after all. From today on, Liu He will put the matter of cutting Huo on the table, and will no longer avoid the matter of being an enemy of Huo Guang, but will take it as a top priority.

"My dear friends, I hope that from today on, no matter if it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, all the ministers will show great loyalty, join hands with me, advance and retreat together, and go all out."

These few words should have been spoken very boldly, but Liu He spoke slowly.

He hopes that everyone can understand all the meanings in it.

"Advance and retreat together, go all out" is what Liu He wants.

"Within half a year, I will be in charge and become the true Son of Heaven!"

The gray-haired Gong Sui and Wang Ji stood up first and bowed to the emperor.

"The ministers let His Majesty drive around without any second thoughts, and you will never regret it if you die!"

Then, Liu De, Bingji, Zhang Anshi, Wei Xuancheng and others bowed down again one after another.

"The ministers let His Majesty drive around without any second thoughts, and you will never regret it if you die!"

From this moment on, there is finally an imperial party above the court.

After Liu Heliang made his attitude clear, not only the courtiers present would be loyal to him, but also the groups and forces represented by these courtiers would also be loyal to him.

Clan relatives, Lang Guan, and doctoral students finally have someone to cling to.

And those "anti-Huo Party" in the Han Empire who dared to be angry with Huo Guang and dare not speak out will gradually move closer to the emperor.

Liu He waved to Dai Zong who was beside him, and the latter immediately ran to the back room of the greenhouse hall.

When he came back again, there was an extra ring-shou knife in his hand.

Liu He pulled out the ring-shou knife from its sheath, cut his finger in the eyes of everyone, and then wrote on a piece of plain silk regardless of their obstruction.

"The Huo family has made great achievements in assisting the government. However, for several years, it has formed a party for personal gain, usurped power, hindered the country's destiny, and there are even more unruly people who want to do unruly things. If there is such a thing, the people of the world can attack it together! If you violate the oath, you will also be guilty of the same crime Discussion!"

Writing a blood book was not an easy task, and Liu He had to cut several times in pain before finishing the few dozens of words.

The ten fingers connected to the heart, and the severe pain made Liu He feel a little flustered, but there was still no evasion in his eyes.

"This is an edict written in blood. Dear friends, do you want to obey the edict?" Liu He asked while grasping the edict with his bleeding hand.

"The minister waits for the edict."

Then, starting from Guang Luxun Zhang Anshi, the courtiers in this palace took the ring-shoulders one after another, cut off their fingers one after another, and wrote their names on the bloody edict.

When the blood edict was passed back to Liu He, everyone had already signed on it.

In addition, there are still many vacant places on this silk that smells of blood.

These are left to be signed by later generations.

Huo Guang can't be defeated, this is the list of Huo Guang's murders.

After Huo Guang was overthrown, this was the order in which Liu He was named Marquis.

Winners and losers, there is no room for turning back.

Now that the imperial party has taken shape, it is time to act kingly and gather more "potential imperial parties" to his side.

Liu He pondered in his mind, and finally found a weapon that could be used.

This matter seems to have little impact, but if it can be done, it will not only make Liu He and Huo Guang's strengths change, but also show the support of the people.

Before the army returns to the court, Liu He can do this.

"The Han army is going out at the moment, rashly interfering in military power, I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army, and Zhongfu's power, one is in the general's mansion, and the other is in the Shangshu office."

"Among the many powers of the Shangshu Office, the most important is the power to deal with the memorials submitted by the subjects of the world. I decided to start from here."

"I have decided to restore the ancestral system of officials and common people reporting directly to me!"

……

It is not a process that Huo Guang served as the head of the Shangshu Office and became the power center of the Han Empire.

At first, the Shangshu Office could only pass on the memorial directly for the emperor, which was called "Tongzhangzuo" at this time.

Afterwards, the Shangshu Office will select important memorials for the emperor to deal with. This time is called "unpacking and reading chapters".

In the future, the Shangshu Office will handle some political affairs for the emperor, and this time is also called "decision-making chapters".

Finally, the Shangshu Office can directly decide political affairs without going through the emperor, which is called "downloading chapters".

For more than ten years, when Huo Guang eliminated the hostile forces in the imperial court, the power of "decision-making chapters" and "ordering chapters" of the Shangshu Office reached its peak.

Emperor Xiaozhao has been in power for more than ten years, and he has almost no chance to directly contact the chapters of his courtiers and common people, let alone participate in the decision-making of the government.

After Liu He ascended the throne, although he won Huo Guang's sympathy with his excellent acting skills, he got the opportunity to read chapters under the pretext of learning how to govern the government.

Now, every two weeks, the Shangshu Office will send a copy of "all" Zhang Zou Chaolu to the Xuanshi Hall for the emperor to see.

However, this is only a superficial effort, not too far from a meaningless formality.

Leaving aside half a month's delay in sending the chapters, whether all the imperial edicts were included is open to question—maybe those edicts that are not good for Huo Dang were secretly withheld by the Shangshu Office and Huo Guang.

In this way, even if there are many insightful people in the great Han world, they dare not reveal their feelings and can only swallow their anger.

What's even more frightening is that there may be many people of insight who have been suppressed by Huo Guang.

When the subjects of the world can directly write letters to the emperor, this is the real opening of the way of speech, so that the emperor can bypass the Shangshu Office, bypass Huo Guang, and have real contact with his subjects.

Make many friends and few enemies, and victory will be at your fingertips.

In addition, in this "restoration of the ancestral system" court struggle, if you win, you can further establish the prestige of the emperor and suppress Huo Guang's prestige.

If the wall falls and everyone pushes it, this will become the root cause of the Huo Party's downfall.

Liu He spoke out his idea without concealment, and the courtiers who had already sat back on the couch did not show excitement, but looked a little dignified.

The coercion left by Huo Guang in the court is too strong. Allowing the subjects of the world to write directly to the emperor is a direct and clear weakening of Huo Guang's power, which will definitely attract Huo Guang's strong opposition.

At that moment, the shell of the emperor to hide his power and bide his time will be completely broken, and there is no room for turning around.

Even Liu He himself was a little apprehensive.

But Huo Yu's incident reminded him that it is a very dangerous thing to wait blindly.

Take your fate into your own hands instead of waiting for others to make mistakes.

"How, do you love Qings think that I shouldn't deprive Zhongfu of his power?" Liu He asked.

"My minister believes that General Huo Guang is suspected of arrogating power, and cutting Huo Guang's power is the right thing to do." Liu De stood up and expressed his agreement.

"My humble minister seconded Zongzheng." Bingji also stood up.

"Weichen also agrees with Zongzheng's proposal." Zhang Anshi did not evade, but immediately said: "But the Shangshu Office is the general's rebel, if you touch it rashly, the general will probably be dissatisfied."

If you are dissatisfied, you will naturally be dissatisfied, but Liu He doesn't want to wait any longer.

"In the past few months, I have been cautious in every way like sailing a boat in the middle of the river, but today I have traveled to a dangerous place in the river. I will not go to see the mountains, the mountains will come to see me."

"There is a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning, and I will try it. If the general feels that I have offended, I can be abolished, and I will go back to Changyi."

These last few words, Liu He said very freely, but in the ears of Zhang Anshi and others, they revealed infinite sadness and absurdity.

They have already heard the helplessness of the emperor, and even heard the fate of the general Huo Shi.

It seems that this seizure of power is already going to have a "you die or die" ending.

"Since this is the case, the ministers must advance and retreat with His Majesty." Zhang Anshi said.

"Okay!" Liu He slapped the table and said: "What I want is this common advance and retreat. I believe that the destiny of the great Han world has not changed, and the monarch and ministers are united and invincible!"

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. As long as we are braver and stronger than the Huo Party, we will surely win!"

The emperor has already set the direction, so the courtiers must either make suggestions or move forward... Anyway, there is absolutely no possibility of retreating.

That night, the palace lanterns in the conservatory stayed on until late at night.After the midnight passed, some lonely figures came out of it one after another.

Under the shroud of thick night, they were taken out of Weiyang Palace by the palace people who had already arranged, and scattered into different corners of Chang'an City.

The night was getting deeper, and the chilly autumn wind was naturally stronger than when it came, and it was even more bitingly chilly.

Come quietly, go quietly, without leaving a trace.

Guang Luxun and Zhang Anshi left the slowest, not because the emperor wanted to keep him for another in-depth talk, but just to stagger the time so that he could be concealed from being discovered.

His carriage came in from the south gate of Weiyang Palace, and now it went out from the south gate of Weiyang Palace.

However, the carriage stopped not far from the palace.

"Huh? Why stop?" Zhang Anshi, who was preoccupied, asked the driver outside in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Fujun, there is a carriage ahead, blocking the road." The driver replied.

Zhang Anshi's heart tightened, and he poked his head out.

The south wall of Weiyang Palace and the south wall of Chang'an City are very close, so the official road formed is less than one foot wide.

This width is actually enough for two carriages to walk side by side, but the other carriage parked very close to the middle. Although it didn't block the road, it was clear that Zhang Anshi didn't want Zhang Anshi to just pass by.

At this time, few people would pass by here, and the other party was waiting for him.

There was a lamp hanging on the carriage opposite, and the dim light swayed in the wind, adding a touch of gloom and mystery.

"It's okay, drive slowly, it's okay."

"only!"

The carriage drove past slowly, and after a while, the two carriages lined up side by side.

"Ziru go slowly, I have a few words to say."

At the same time as this voice came, a person's head poked out from the opposite car, it was none other than Zongzheng Liu De who had just separated.

"So it's Uncle Lu, it's late at night now, why don't you go back home, aren't you afraid you'll get up late tomorrow?" Zhang Anshi didn't show his face, and Liu De couldn't hear his emotions from the voice of his shop.

Just now, Zhang Anshi actually guessed the identity of the person in the car, but he didn't find out right away.

"If such a big event happened tonight, even if I go back home, I won't be able to sleep. Can Ziru fall asleep soundly?"

Zhang Anshi did not answer, which actually represented a kind of tacit consent.

"Just wait for me at the front, and come back to drive after a quarter of an hour. Mr. Liu Fu has some business matters to discuss with me."

"promise."

Zhang Anshi said this to his driver, and Liu De also sent his driver away.

At this time, there were only these two carriages left on the hundreds of feet long official road.

The autumn wind was still blowing, and the two well-trained war horses were a little restless, as if they wanted to return to the warm stables sooner.

"Uncle Lu, this place is very windy, and it's very cold. If you have anything to say, just say it straight now, don't bother to beat around the bush."

"From Ziru's tone, it seems that he has resentment against me. In the past, you and I couldn't go together, but we could talk and laugh happily. Now we go together, why are we so indifferent?" Liu De asked.

Zhang Anshi did not deny it, of course he had resentment towards Liu De, and the thing he complained about was that Liu De chose his younger sister Zhang Anjun as the emperor's Jieyu without discussing with him.

Liu De's move is worthy of the big man, but anyone with a discerning eye can immediately see the two, that is to use Zhang Anshi to compete against Huo Guang.

Although the two of them are the emperor's thighs at the moment, no one would be happy to be tried by others for no reason.

"Does Ziru hate me for recommending my younger sister to the palace as Jieyu?" Liu De asked again.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Anshi said, "Exactly."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Anshi heard that Liu De seemed to have gotten off the car, so he was also a little curious, and opened the door curtain.

Zhang Anshi saw Liu De standing in front of his carriage, his square face was sharp and angular under the light, showing a resolute and simple expression.

Without Zhang Anshi asking, Liu De made an unexpected move.

　It's a little faster today, let's see if we can add more!
