I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 317 Huo Xian deserves to die, I want to kill you! (Please subscribe)
The guilt this time was a hundred times stronger than the guilt that Huo Guang had felt in the past.
Huo Guang felt guilty towards Emperor Xiaozhao for refusing to return power, but it was for the sake of the Han Dynasty, so this guilt was naturally less.

Huo Guang felt ashamed of Shangguan's empress dowager when the family destroyed the Shangguan family, but it was for the sake of the great man's country, so naturally there is not much shame.

Huo Guang felt guilty towards other courtiers for re-employing Huo Dang, but it was for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and this guilt could be ignored.

Huo Guang felt guilty towards those who were wronged when he attacked dissidents, but it was for the sake of the Han Dynasty, so this guilt was negligible.

……

Huo Guang is a human being, so he naturally has the guilt that ordinary people should have in his heart, but as long as he has "for the great man's country" as an excuse, those guilts are harmless and can be easily resolved by Huo Guang.

However, Huo Guang cannot resolve today's debt to the emperor.

Because Huo Yu colluded with the Huns, which caused great harm to the Han Dynasty but no benefit.

In this case, how can this guilt be eliminated?
It can’t be said that Huo Yu’s alliance with the Xiongnu was for the sake of the Han Dynasty, right?
Huo Guang picked up the edict and read it very carefully from beginning to end.

Between the lines, I did not read any criticism, but there was a fiery emotion.

This edict looks like it was written by the emperor.Emperor, are you beating yourself up?

……

When Huo Guang remained silent, others in the courtyard certainly did not dare to speak.

They all stood or knelt, not daring to make any sound, and quietly waited for the command of the general.

After a long while, Huo Guang finally raised his head.

"Retire, there are naturally doctors in the General's Mansion, so you don't have to stay here."

Huo Guang said this to the medical officers, but those medical officers hesitated, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"But the county magistrate..."

"The county magistrate asked, the old man will explain it for you, don't worry."

"promise."

The three imperial medical officers quickly ran away and escaped from this place of right and wrong.

"Chen Wannian, you guys should also step back. The military affairs in the mansion are very important, so we will handle them as you said just now. You will bring the military affairs here every day."

"promise!"

The subordinate officials did not dare to say anything, and they all bowed and left immediately.

For a moment, the entire Zhongdi became quiet, and only Huo Guang and Huo Xian were left.

Huo Xian soon realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the court, and he felt a little uneasy.

After a long time, she slowly walked to Huo Guang and said softly: "Husband, it's cold outside, you'd better go in."

Huo Guang looked at Huo Xian without saying a word, let alone standing up.

The surrounding air seems to have become colder.

After all, Huo Xian was afraid of Huo Guang.

The reason why she was able to "feel like a chicken in the morning" was entirely because she had Huo Guang supporting her behind her, and she was so powerful that she pretended to be powerful.

"Kneel in front of you." Huo Guang said indifferently.

"Husband..."

"Kneel down!" Huo Guang scolded sternly.

Huo Xian trembled, not daring to disobey, and immediately knelt in front of Huo Guang, his chest rising and falling like a rabbit.

Huo Guang forced his body to stand up, took two staggering steps, and came to Huo Xian.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his slender and pale hands towards Huo Xian, suddenly grabbed her neck, and forced her beautiful face up.

Huo Guang's strength is not small, and it is getting stronger.

In the blink of an eye, Huo Xian's face turned an abnormal red color, and his already peaky chest undulated violently.

From the beginning to the end, Huo Xian never struggled and just accepted the situation.

There was silence all around, but the general seemed to want to strangle the general's wife to death.

The former is indifferent, the latter is submissive.

In the courtyard, there was a strange atmosphere.

It wasn't until Huo Xian's eyes turned white and he was about to faint that Huo Guang finally let go of his hand.

Huo Xian, who was granted amnesty, fell to his knees on the ground, coughing repeatedly, and his beautiful face turned pale.

The whole person was in an extremely embarrassed state, and there was no trace of his usual graceful, graceful and commanding appearance.

Huo Guang just stood there without saying a word or showing any mercy.

"I want to ask you a question. You have to answer it truthfully. If you dare to hide anything, just use the three feet of white silk to cut it off yourself!"

"This concubine's life was given by her husband decades ago..."

"If your husband wants to take it back now, just take it. I don't dare to say anything." Huo Xian was soft yet strong at the moment, but he did not step back at all.

"Huo Yu, that arrogant man, how did you teach him since you were a child, to be so unfaithful and unfilial!?"

Huo Xian's resentful expression suddenly showed a hint of panic.

"I'm here to ask you, what good things did that Shuzi do in private?"

"Yu, Yu'er is so obedient. How could he have done anything evil to make your husband so angry?"

"Bold! How long do you want to hide it from me? Do you really think that I am so old that my eyesight is dim? Don't you know why Army Sima Wang Xian died?"

"Husband, this bitch really doesn't know..." Huo Xian still wanted to quibble.

"I already know everything about the collusion between Huo Yu and the Huns in the north."

"You guys are so brave, you actually committed such a capital crime for your own self-interest, and you still have to hide it from the old man."

"The Huo family's face and my brother's face have been completely shamed by you. Now you dare to speak harshly and say that you don't know anything."

"The county magistrate must have known about that matter, so he became furious in the past few days."

"You are still hiding it now. Do you really want the Huo family to be destroyed?"

Huo Guang said so many words in one breath, and suddenly exhaled so much breath that it became difficult for him to hold on.

There was a numb feeling on the left side of the body, and his eyes began to feel dizzy again.

This symptom is exactly the same as yesterday.

But this time, Huo Guang shouldered it forcefully.

He shook for a while, then stared at Huo Xian without changing his expression.

"If you don't tell the truth, in order to save the lives of the Huo family, I will have no choice but to exterminate my relatives. Now I will write a letter to have that evil son Huo Yu brought back and sent to prison!"

The last sentence, like a huge thunderbolt, hit Huo Xian's crumbling heart hard.

She is a woman after all.

Now that the big man is in power, Huo Xian is just Huo Guang's plaything after all. When Huo Guang is angry, how can she resist?
This has nothing to do with the city government, it has to do with the ethics of education.

Huo Xian was completely panicked. She crawled to Huo Guang on her knees, hugged his thigh and begged for mercy.

"Husband, Yu'er is doing it for the Huo family and for you. Husband, please don't be angry. I'll just tell him not to do it again..."

Huo Xian begged, even the bun of his hair, which had never been messed up, was half untied.

"If you want that Shu Zi to survive, tell me everything they did. Don't hide a word." Huo Guang bent down, and the anger that emerged enveloped Huo Xian.

Huo Xian was panicked. How could she tell that Huo Guang was deceiving her?
Huo Xian, who was eager to save his son, did not dare to hide anything. He told him what he knew about the connection between Huo Yu and the Huns as neatly as pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

It wasn't much, but it was enough to scare Huo Guang to the point of nearly fainting.

The three souls and six souls left Huo Guang's weak body, and after a long time, they came back through his Tianling Cap.

"Yu'er said that they just have some contact with the Xiongnu. They have never done anything to harm the big man. They just want to give the Huo family more help..."

When Huo Guang heard this last sentence, he suddenly lost all his strength and fell down on the couch like a collapsed mountain.

This time, he did not faint, but his face was as white as silk.

Intending to lure the Xiongnu as foreign aid was a greater crime than reselling some iron weapons, and even more unforgivable than treason.

Huo Guang never thought that the son he had taught would do such an abominable thing.

Fortunately, Huo Xian didn't know about the existence of "Zuojun Alliance". If Huo Guang found out now, it would definitely cost Huo Guang his life.

"Has this scoundrel had any contact with the Huns before going on the expedition?"

"I don't know, I don't know, but Yu'er rarely talks to me about these things."

After finishing speaking, Huo Xian saw that Huo Guang looked unkind, so he quickly lied and made up for his beloved son.

"After Army Sima Wang Xian died, Yu'er said that he would never have anything to do with the Huns again."

Huo Guang's dizziness became lighter, I hope that evil man really did this.

But now, the yellow mud has entered the crotch, and it is either shit or shit.No matter how unclear this matter was, I had no choice but to hide it.

But Huo Guang had a lot of worries in his heart.

Why did the Huo family hide so many things from me and catch me off guard?
At this time, Huo Guang hated the emperor much less.

It is not unreasonable for the emperor to be so aggressive these days.

Without killing the killer, he can already be called a wise king.

Huo Guang relaxed helplessly, and that terrible headache came back again.

Even for a strong man like Huo Guang, he had to endure until his veins bulged so as not to groan.

After Huo Xian saw it, he didn't care to say anything. He stood up in a panic, stood behind Huo Guang, and used the technique Chun Yuyan taught her to press various acupuncture points on Huo Guang's head.

After half a stick of incense, Huo Guang finally felt less pain, and his face softened a little.

"Husband, it's windy here, shall we go in?" Huo Xian cautiously asked, as if Huo Guang's murderous intention towards her had never happened.

Huo Guang didn't speak, but nodded with his eyes closed.

Huo Xian was overjoyed and quickly helped Huo Guang slowly and helped him into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, it is warm in mid-spring, so it is naturally much more comfortable than outside.

Huo Guang took the first seat, while Huo Xian knelt in front of him consciously, with a very respectful expression, not daring to be dissatisfied.

How does this look look like the mistress of the general's palace who dared to criticize the officials, send private letters to the leading general, and interfere in the prison in Tingwei Temple?

She just looks like a pretty daughter-in-law from an ordinary family who still has charm and a sweet little bird.

In addition, he had cried just now, his hair on the temples was disheveled, and his eyes were blazing with peach blossoms, making people feel pity for him.

Huo Guang's anger was even more dissipated by half, and he even felt that his actions just now were a little too much.

Huo Xian is just a weak woman, how can she know the dangers of the court affairs.

I'm afraid she couldn't tell whether the Huns were in the north or the south.

As for Huo Yu's upright attitude, it can't be entirely blamed on Huo Xian for what he is now. I'm afraid he is more to blame.

"You don't have to kneel down. Sit down and answer. I was a little reckless just now."

"My husband just reminded me that when Yu'er comes back, I will strictly discipline him and never let him make mistakes again," Huo Xian said.

Huo Yu is now in his thirties, and he is already capable of being alone.

How could it be possible to listen to Huo Xian obediently?
Even if it was his own words, he couldn't tell how well that Zhu Zi could listen to them.

I'm afraid, this earth-shattering matter still has to be handled by oneself.

Although he thought so in his heart, Huo Guang didn't want to take his anger out on Huo Xian, a weak woman, so he nodded slightly.

Only then did Huo Xian stand up, and carefully sat down on a couch next to him.

She straightened her waist and was always watching the changes in the expression on Huo Guang's face, extremely alert.

"The old man lost his composure just now, because he thought of something dangerous." Huo Guang said worriedly.

"What did you think of, husband?"

"Well, although Army Sima Wang Xian is dead, I'm afraid the news of Yu'er's stupid things has been leaked..."

Huo Xian's eyes twitched and he looked at Huo Guang uneasily.

"And what's even worse is that the emperor may have already known about this matter, which is why his temperament suddenly changed today."

Litong with the Xiongnu was a real capital crime. Even if that person was Huo Yu, Huo Guang's only son, he would never be able to escape once the incident happened.

"Then Yu'er isn't..." Huo Xian didn't dare to say the words "a place where death has no burial", for fear that this sentence would become a prophecy.

"Fortunately, we haven't been to this field yet. The county magistrate must have heard about it, but there is no real evidence. Otherwise, if it were made public, how would you and I have a chance to talk here?"

Huo Xian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no real evidence, then anything can be resolved.

"But now is not the time to sit back and relax. No matter how carefully thought out any conspiracy is, there will always be a day when it is leaked..."

"The bigger this conspiracy goes, the more people know about it, and the more likely it is that the news will leak out."

"At the moment, the county magistrate may not have real evidence in his hands, but one day there will be."

"Madam, please don't forget that the turmoil in Chang'an City these days all stems from the county magistrate asking the people of the world to write to him directly."

At this moment, Huo Guang had gradually returned to his former calmness and wisdom from the shock and panic just now.

Slowly sorting it out, Huo Guang thought he had clearly seen the reason.

In fact, his guess was indeed accurate, but the one thing he didn't guess was the key - the emperor did not deal with Huo Guang for Huo Yu, but found Huo Yu as an excuse to deal with Huo Guang.

"Fortunately, the current county officials are still immature. If Emperor Xiaowu were in power, they wouldn't care about evidence or reputation at all."

I am the court, whether he has evidence or not, I will arrest him and talk about it later.

If you put them in prison and torture them, you can always find out something.

Not to mention an auxiliary minister, didn't even the crown prince at that time almost fall into this situation?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Emperor Xiaowu was not in power.

"Husband, what shall I do now? Can Yu'er just come back and be butchered by the county magistrate?"

If it were anyone else, the son would have made such a big mistake, and the best choice would be to go to the emperor and make a confession in person.

Use one person's life in exchange for the life of the whole family.

But Huo Guang had a sense of arrogance. He had been calling the shots in the court for so many years, and he felt that he could protect Huo Yu - he only had an only son, so he had to protect him.

"No, it can be seen from the county magistrate's edict just now that he still respects me very much."

"However, if you communicate with the Xiongnu, that's a capital offense. The county magistrate can..." Huo Xian thought for a while before asking, "Does your husband want to intercede with the emperor?"

Two days ago, Huo Xian asked Huo Guang this question, whether it was war or peace.

At that time, Huo Guang said that his waist and legs were too stiff and he was no longer willing to bend down.

But now, the guilty Huo Guang can only choose this path.

"Yes, but now is not the time to plead for mercy. I have to wait until the news of Yu'er's success comes before I can go into the palace to find the county magistrate to try to trick him."

"Now the old man just goes to see the county magistrate empty-handed, and he won't agree to any request from the old man."

"The matter of going to court..."

"That was the emperor's move to win people's hearts. If he wants to stop the imperial court, then so be it. I will not show up at the imperial meeting until there is no good news from the northern expedition front."

He did not make the emperor surrender by dismissing the government; then the emperor could not surrender by dismissing the court.

It seems that the emperor gave himself a step down, but in fact he was coercing himself.

If he went to court tomorrow as if nothing had happened, the people in the world would probably point at Huo Guang's backbone and scold him as a powerful official who oppressed the emperor.

Huo Guang couldn't bear this infamy.

"Let's settle this matter like this. The old man will send a thank you memorial to the emperor, and then just wait peacefully."

"It has been five days since the entire army left the fortress. If we wait another month, the good news will definitely come."

"By then, everything will be easy to handle."

Huo Guang's words seemed to be addressed to Huo Xian, but they also seemed to be addressed to himself.

This means that in the past five or six days, Huo Guang has swallowed all the "losses" he suffered.

If you want to see a turnaround, you have to wait for good news from the front line.

As for this period of time, Huo Guang could only use his status as chief minister to resist the emperor's pressure - not going to court or showing up.

In order to support the majesty of the general.

"Ma'am, you go out first, the old man wants to rest alone for a while."

"promise."

Huo Xian's heart has calmed down a little, and her resentment towards the emperor has almost dissipated. She has fully accepted Huo Guang's words - after all, it was the Huo family who was at fault first.

After she helped Huo Guang lie down, she quietly left the bedroom.

However, the moment he closed the door, Huo Xian's eyelids jumped.

Should the three letters to Tian Shun, Tian Guangming and Fan Mingyou be recovered?
If the army is allowed to withdraw as stated in the letter, how will they achieve military success?
But if you get it back, what should you do if there are changes later?How to deal with it without an army at hand?
Forget it, maybe by the time this letter is delivered, Fan Mingyou and the others may have already achieved a great victory.

In that case, the dilemma is solved.

Thinking of this, Huo Xian no longer struggled and left Zhongdi smoothly.

She was going to the courtyard next door to teach Huo Chengjun some ways to please and manipulate men in the boudoir. After entering the palace, she must control the emperor.

　Qiuqiu, please order all of them, woo woo woo!
