I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 284 Courting Death!Who will be against me, Huo Guang? ! (seeking subscription)

When Huo Guang went to invite the Empress Dowager Shangguan, he asked Yu Wuyou to kill the Empress Dowager Shangguan, which was Wang Shi's only arrangement.

In this way, you can naturally sit back and relax.

However, Liu He still does not think this is a good practice.

Leaving aside the patriarchal relationship between the two, Liu He and the Empress Dowager Shangguan are political allies.

It is never a good decision to betray one's allies so easily.

"If Huo Guang really sends someone to ask the Shangguan dowager to deal with me later, I believe that the Shangguan dowager can handle it. You can help me from the side, and you can't make any claims."

"No." Yu Wuyou also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"The time is coming, you go." Liu He said

"promise!"

Yu Wuyou has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, Liu He stopped his most trusted courtier.

"Yu Qing, I'm afraid we can't see each other again today. If something happens to me, don't die. Take what I gave you and live."

Liu He gave Yu Wuyou many things, all of which could turn the big man upside down.

Yu Wuyou paused for a moment, then saluted again and said, "No!"

After all, before the emperor could speak again, Yu Wuyou strode out of the greenhouse hall.

Liu He smiled with satisfaction and relief, and shouted loudly to the door: "Fan Ke, I'm going to the front hall to attend the Great Court Conference!"

On top of the altar outside the front hall.

The courtiers of the Han Dynasty are gathering in groups of three or four.

Today is a big court meeting, so there are a lot of courtiers entering the palace.

In addition to the courtiers with a rank of more than two thousand stones, the assistant officials in charge of practical affairs with a rank of one thousand stones, the miscellaneous doctors who are in charge of the emperor's consultation, and the doctoral officials of Taixue are also eligible to participate.

At this time, although the court meeting had not yet started, nearly a hundred courtiers had already gathered outside the front hall.

These courtiers gathered together in twos and threes, whispering, in the whistling wind, it was not easy to hear what each other was saying.

On weekdays, Cai Yi, the official censor, always gets together with the doctoral officers of the Taixue to discuss Confucian classics in this spare time.

But today's situation is a little different from the past. He is standing with a few miscellaneous doctors, and he doesn't know what he is talking about.

At this time, the autumn wind was very bitter, and all the courtiers were wearing thick robes, but they still shrank their heads and necks, without any official authority.

No matter how high your rank is, it is impossible to show off in the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

Because no matter how high your status is, it cannot be as high as the roof of the front hall.

The palace people of Weiyang Palace are nervously carrying the red charcoal basin into the front hall.

The bright red carbon fire exudes tempting heat.

The courtiers could guess at a glance that the front hall must be as warm as spring at this moment—they all wanted to enter urgently.

However, no one dared to trespass, and all of them could only look into the hall helplessly, with longing eyes in their eyes.

Everyone dare not move, not because they are not afraid of the cold.

Instead, they were waiting for the man named Huo Guang.

……

There was still a quarter of an hour until Maoshi, Huo Guang, who came late, finally came to the stairs under Shan Chi.

Standing here, looking up, there are hundreds of steps extending towards the sky.

As far as the eye can see, only the black and red tiles at the top of the front hall can be seen.

Huo Guang suddenly remembered that a few months ago, in this front hall, he stood in front of Emperor Xiaozhao's Zigong, resisted all opinions, and decided that the king of Changyi would inherit the throne.

Unexpectedly, so much time has passed in a flash.

The flesh and blood of Emperor Xiaozhao must have begun to rot—even the Son of Heaven cannot escape this arrangement of God's will.

Although Emperor Xiaozhao is dead, if he is alive in heaven, he should be satisfied with the present day, right?
In other words, the Emperor Xiaowu and the emperors of the Great Han Dynasty before this are still satisfied with the current emperor, right?
No matter what they think, at least Huo Guang himself is very satisfied.

He has great respect for Huo Guang, great trust in the Huo family, is very filial to the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and respects Emperor Xiaozhao and Emperor Xiaowu...

Almost invulnerable.

Of course, it would be better if you could be more peaceful.

In the past few months, the emperor has made a lot of small moves. After Huo Chengjun entered the palace, he had to help the emperor calm down a bit.

"General, it's getting late, and the courtiers have already arrived."

Huo Guang stopped at the bottom of the stairs unknowingly, maybe it was too long, so the visitor who came to pick him up carefully reminded him.

The voice made Huo Guang feel a little familiar. After distinguishing it, he found that it was the same person as the visitor who came to greet him a few months ago.

Huo Guang was in a trance. Today, there seemed to be some divine coincidence somewhere.

"General?" The young visitor asked again.

"En." Huo Guang replied this word, and walked up the stairs while holding the sword at his waist.

Step by step, Huo Guang, who was a little thin because he had just recovered from his illness, walked steadily, but he also felt a little short of breath, which was a minor ailment left by the wind and cold last month.

Halfway through the walk, Huo Guang wanted to stop and rest for a while, but the visitor didn't notice that today's general was different, so he walked straight up.

Huo Guang was naturally unwilling to follow behind, and followed up with some difficulty.

Finally, after half an hour, Huo Guang reached the top.

At this time, his chest was burning with pain, and his eyes were a little dizzy.

It wasn't until a gust of autumn wind blew that he woke up a bit.

Huo Guang looked back, he had a panoramic view of half of Chang'an City, and he seemed to be able to see the cornices of the main hall of the General's Mansion.

It took Huo Guang more than twenty years to get here from Qili.

It took the Huo family decades to get here from Pingyang County.

If Champion Hou is still there, where will Huo Guang be?

Can he stand as tall as he is now?
Therefore, it may be a good thing that my brother is gone.

Huo Guang didn't allow Huo Guang to think too much, many of those courtiers who had been waiting on Danchi for a long time surrounded him hastily.

"The lower officials greet the Great General Sima."

More than 20 people bowed down in unison, and heads of different colors dangled in front of Huo Guang's eyes.

Black, gray and white, all white...

The weight of each human head is very large.

There are Prime Minister Ren Gong, Tai Chang Le Cheng, Da Si Nong Tian Yan Nian, Ting Wei Li Guang, Zhi Jin Wu Su Chang...

If you add it up, at least it weighs tens of thousands of stones.

Compared with the previous Great Court Conference, fewer people came to greet him, because Fan Mingyou and others are now on the land of the Huns, making contributions to the Great Han.

Huo Guang looked past these lowered heads, and saw that there were still many scattered people in the distance who hadn't come over.

I don't know if I didn't seize the opportunity, or I had a rift with Huo Guang, or I was arrogant.

Forget it, to the old man, it doesn't matter, they are all stragglers, nothing to worry about.

At this moment, Huo Guangzhi was full of pride.

"My colleagues are welcome, let me go to the court together, don't let the county magistrate wait for a long time."

"No." Everyone responded.

While speaking, the crowd gave way for Huo Guang to walk past.

Immediately after was Prime Minister Ren Gong, standing a little later on Huo Guang's left.

The two took the lead and walked forward, and the rest of the courtiers were followed by civil servants and military generals, and they were even more ranked in order of rank.

Even those courtiers who did not come to see the ceremony, they all followed the order and lined up in the queue.

It's okay not to flatter and flatter Huo Guang, but you can't deny the rules of the big man.

……

When he came to the front of the hall, Huo Guang went straight in, but the rest of the courtiers had to take off their shoes and untie their swords.

At this time, Huo Guang suddenly saw a strange place from the corner of his eye.

On weekdays, he is the only one who can walk on the sword.

But today, Cai Yi, the imperial censor standing second in the queue on the left, didn't even take off his shoes—and this old man who never wore a sword actually still wore a long sword around his waist today.

Cai Yi didn't change his expression, he followed Prime Minister Ren Gong and entered directly.

There was a hint of pride and complacency on the old face.

Huo Guang glanced sideways at the other party, but Cai Yi didn't respond this time.

The courtiers naturally also saw this scene, their footsteps did not stop, and they were puzzled.

Behind Huo Guang was Su Chang, the executive king, who saw the general's doubts.

So he took a quick step, and whispered behind Huo Guang: "A few days ago, the county magistrate gave Cai Yi, the doctor of imperial history, a sword to go to the palace, and he is not famous for his praise."

Huo Guang was a little surprised, but still nodded calmly, and said nothing more.

As long as it is not an official title, many rewards from the emperor do not need to go through the Shangshu Office.During this period of time, Huo Guang was busy with military affairs, so naturally he didn't notice this trivial matter.

It may be because Cai Yi failed to become the prime minister, and he still has some grievances, but the emperor is using "swords on the temple" and "praise is not famous" to appease him.

This is a trivial matter, the emperor did a good job, Huo Guang was very pleased.

Soon, the courtiers stood in line in the hall, waiting in awe.

At this moment, they finally saw the emperor dressed up above the jade steps, and they couldn't help being a little surprised.

But soon, the surprise disappeared, and it was normal for the court meeting to be more grand.

"The ministers greet His Majesty the Emperor."

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Ren Gong, all the courtiers, including Huo Guang, bowed down to the emperor.

"The ministers greet His Majesty the Emperor."

The aloof emperor was silent for a moment.

The moment seemed longer than ever.

Just when everyone looked up to see why the emperor was silent, the emperor's calm voice, like Onozawa in late autumn, floated down.

"Everyone is flat, let's start discussing politics."

"promise!"

Since Liu He ascended the throne, the most important court meeting has begun.

According to common sense, Prime Minister Ren Gong should be the first to play.

But in the past ten years, the prime ministers have been decorations, and Huo Guang is the first in the court council.

Huo Guang stood up, shaking the dust that didn't exist on his robe, just as he was about to perform military affairs.

An old man standing on the left took the first step and stood up.

Huo Guang frowned, Ren Gong was displeased, Huo Dang looked sideways.

The one who stood up was none other than Cai Yi, the royal censor with a sword.

Many courtiers had puzzled expressions on their faces, not knowing what this old man, who was about to die, was going to do.

"Cai Yi, the old minister and doctor of the imperial censor, report something!"

Huo Guang first broke the rule of the prime minister playing first, now that there is no rule, Cai Yi's move is understandable.

"Oh, Cai Qing can play up."

"The old minister thought that His Majesty should open Zhang Shengting not long after his new ascension, so as to honor the legacy of the late emperor."

"Therefore, the old minister, I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to allow the subjects of the world to directly submit a letter to His Majesty, and restore the right and responsibility of the emperor's assistant to organize the memorials, and go with the Shangshu Office to "communicate the chapters"!"

After Cai Yi finished speaking, he bowed to the end.

And these few words, like a pebble thrown into the water, gradually made many splashes and noises in the calm lake water of the front hall.

The few words that Cai Yi uttered in one breath, in the end, were actually very simple, and he said three things in total.

One is to allow the subjects of the world to directly write letters to the emperor, so as to open up their voices and make up for the government.

The second is to restore the power and responsibility of the royal doctor to assist the emperor in handling the letter.

The third is to retain the power and responsibility of the Shangshu Office to deal with the edicts of court officials.

In short, the power of the court is divided into two parts, the administrative power belongs to the Shangshu Office, and the supervisory power belongs to the emperor and the royal doctor.

Increasing the power of the emperor and the royal doctor is tantamount to weakening the power of the Shangshu Office in disguise.

It can form a check and balance against Huo Guang.

These three seemingly simple things not only disrupted the original power structure of the Great Han Dynasty, but also redistributed the power of the Great Han Dynasty.

Those who benefit are the emperor and the royal doctor, and those who suffer are the Shangshu Office and the general.

This is of course a big deal.

Fortunately, the front hall was big enough, otherwise the roof might have been lifted by the courtiers' comments.

With a gloomy face, Huo Guang stretched out his hand to support the sword at his waist, squinted his eyes, and looked around the hall - he was not in a hurry to look at Cai Yi who was kneeling on the ground.

After looking around slowly, there was nothing unusual, but he also seemed to smell something different.

Someone wants to touch me, Huo Guang?
　There will be another update at a little later today, about six o'clock!
