I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 327 In five days, I want Huo Chengjun to enter the palace. Who dares to stop me? (Please subscribe)

The main hall has already been rearranged.

The first position at the top is naturally the position of the emperor, and the two most forward positions at the bottom are naturally the positions of Huo Guang and Huo Xian.

Next are the positions of the Huo family sisters and their respective husbands.

Liu He held Huo Chengjun's hand and stood in the main hall, seemingly deep in thought.

At this time, Huo Guang and a group of people also rushed to the main hall.

When they saw that the emperor was still holding Huo Chengjun's hand tightly, they once again felt a little shocked.

Although they are already a married couple, although they are emperor and empress, even though they are at the age when love first begins...

However, it is really unseemly to be so unscrupulous in public.

Liu He paid no attention to their gazes and did not evade them at all. He also put some strength in his hands, as if he wanted to convey the magnanimity in his heart to Huo Chengjun.

"Father Zhong, where is Chengjun's couch?" Liu He asked.

"Next to me, right here." Huo Xian pointed to a couch and said.

"Sisters and brothers-in-law are all sitting on the same couch. Chengjun is my queen. I want Chengjun to sit next to me today." Liu He rarely used a negotiating tone.

Naturally, Huo Guang and Huo Xian couldn't refuse, and quickly ordered their servants to rearrange the couches.

"Your Majesty, can this be arranged?" Huo Xian said.

"My mother-in-law has made all the arrangements. Come and take a seat. I hadn't had dinner when I came here, and I'm already hungry now."

"promise."

Liu He and Huo Chengjun took their seats at the first place. Everyone bowed again and took their seats.

The family dinner that had been interrupted resumed.

Because of the arrival of the emperor, all this process almost started all over again.

However, the emperor was also involved.

After Huo Guang and Huo Xian toasted to the emperor, the emperor also congratulated Huo Xian on his birthday.

Then, he ordered people to bring the birthday gifts that he had prepared. Although they were ordinary items such as gold, silver, and gems, they had a different meaning because they were gifts from the emperor.

Later, Liu He met Huo Chengjun's sisters and brother-in-law one by one.

No matter who he met, Liu He always smiled and called "sister" and "brother-in-law", making them all feel flattered and restless.

On the face of it, these husbands of the Huo sisters are not treacherous ministers. Except for Fan Mingyou, the current official ranks of the remaining few are not prominent and will not have much influence on the court.

It seems that of these brothers-in-law, only Fan Mingyou is his biggest concern.

This is a good thing.

Liu He not only "looked" at these adults, he also asked the names and ages of the dozen nephews one by one.

These children were not yet fully sensible. Seeing the amiable appearance of this "Emperor's Uncle", they all became bolder and started showing off their talents.

Fan Mingyou's 12-year-old twins competed with the wooden swords they carried with them, and said they would defeat the Huns for "the emperor's uncle".

Liu He naturally praised him on his face, but he also felt emotional in his heart. If they really grow up one day, maybe they can really become a generation of brave warriors?

After sitting down on the couch, Liu He let go of Huo Chengjun's hand, but Huo Chengjun's heartbeat did not calm down.

From the moment the emperor held her hand, Huo Chengjun's heartbeat never calmed down. At this moment, she still felt that her breathing was not smooth.

She was so close to the emperor that she could hear the emperor's heartbeat.

Maybe at this moment, the emperor can also hear her heartbeat?

There were many people present, and the moral and ethical upbringing she had received prevented her from looking at the emperor "blatantly", but she quietly moved her body closer to the emperor.

It seemed that in this cold and gloomy general's palace, the endless heat radiating from the emperor's body made her feel at ease.

Even if it was just a moment of peace of mind, Huo Chengjun was very happy.

……

The emperor is very talkative and Huo Chengjun is very shy.

Huo Guang and Huo Xian were facing a formidable enemy.

They spoke very little and spent most of their time observing the emperor's every move.

The longer they watched, the less clear they were about what move the emperor was going to make today.

At the beginning, Huo Guang and Huo Xian had some eye contact, as if they wanted to get some definite answers from each other.

But they soon discovered that the other party was just as confused as themselves, and neither could see through the emperor's intentions.

So, they had no choice but to focus on where they should focus.

From time to time, Huo Guang would look at the Changyi Langs who were mourning in the courtyard, fearing that the emperor would throw a cup as a signal and kill the Huo family, old and young, on the spot.

Although judging from the support of the people, the emperor would not do such a "foolish" thing, but who can say for sure?
The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea.

Nothing the emperor does is surprising.

Unlike Huo Guang, Huo Xian focused all his attention on the emperor and Huo Chengjun.

The emperor led Huo Chengjun into the main hall, which was indeed shocking, but it also gave Huo Xian a chance: the emperor seemed to have a soft spot for Huo Chengjun, and even favored him.

There is such friendship between a man and a woman without any physical contact. Isn't it a sure thing that Huo Chengjun will be his exclusive favorite in the Jiaofang Palace in the future?

The more you can dote on someone, the more kindness you will receive from the Lord Yulu, and the greater the possibility of giving birth to an heir.

Huo Xian seemed to have seen the day when the emperor and Huo Chengjun's heirs were crowned princes.

Huo Xian's heart was shaken again: his mind also turned from Huo Yu's rebellious path and returned to the right path proposed by Huo Guang.

It seems that what my husband said is right. The best choice is to let the Huo family's bloodline merge into the Liu family's bloodline and make the Huo family a family of relatives that will never decline.

……

In this way, in this "everyone has their own agenda", the family banquet finally came to an end.

The adults were mentally exhausted to the extreme, and the children had begun to doze off.

At this time, the sound of the watch was vaguely heard.

Look outside at the moon that has risen to the top of the dome. It is almost the time of Haishi.

In the past, Huo Guang would definitely have asked everyone to go back.

But today, he can't be the master, because the person sitting in the first place is the emperor.

So he could only wait quietly.

Finally, the emperor drank the last sip of light wine, and then stood up a little drunkenly.

"Father Zhong, it's getting late. I see that my nephews have already dozed off. How about we just leave here?"

"It all depends on His Majesty's arrangements!"

"Okay, that's it for today's family dinner..."

"But before that, I have one more thing to say."

Everyone gathered their last energy and looked at the slightly tipsy Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually held Huo Chengjun's hand next to him again.

Only this time, the emperor's movements were more skillful and gentle.

What surprised Liu He was that he clearly felt that Huo Chengjun's hand seemed to respond to him.

For a moment, my heart couldn't help but sway.

"Father Zhong, after careful consideration, I want to complete the wedding ceremony with Chengjun immediately, and then ask her to go to Weiyang Palace in advance, enter the Jiaofang Palace, and preside over the affairs of the harem for me."

The emperor's words were like a thunderbolt that struck the hearts of everyone present.

This means that Huo Chengjun will immediately become the legitimate queen of the Han Empire.

For the Huo family, this is a great thing.

Maybe next year I will be able to conceive the emperor's heir?
"Father Zhong, what do you think?" Liu He asked again.

Huo Guang was also surprised. If he was confused just now, now he was confused and surprised.

Why did the emperor let Huo Chengjun enter the palace in advance?
Is this a good thing or a bad thing for the Huo family?

Huo Guang couldn't think clearly and was a little confused for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He still clearly remembers that day when the emperor scheduled Huo Chengjun's entry into the palace at the beginning of the following spring.

"Didn't His Majesty say before that he wanted to wait until the Han army returns home from the expedition before discussing this matter?" Huo Guang calmly asked his doubts.

"At that time, everyone in the court was planning the expedition. I felt that focusing on the harem at that time would be criticized by the world..."

"But now I understand that the affairs of the harem are not my family affairs, but also a major matter related to the foundation of the Han Dynasty. How can I abandon it for fear of criticism?"

"What's more, since Chengjun is already my queen, but he has been unable to enter the palace for a long time, I am afraid that someone will make unreasonable comments..."

When Liu He said this, he looked at Huo Chengjun for the first time today.

Unexpectedly, the latter happened to raise his eyes and look at him.

The moment the two looked at each other, they seemed to be touched.

"In ordinary people's homes, once a daughter gets married, she should go to live with her husband's family. If she stays in her natal family, she will invite people to gossip."

"I don't want anyone to talk about Chengjun, and I don't allow anyone to talk about Chengjun."

The emperor's words were high-sounding, leaving Huo Guang no reason to refuse, but he did not dare to let go for a while.

This matter seemed to be beneficial and harmless to the Huo family, but Huo Guang had already been wary of the emperor and did not dare to agree immediately.

Who knows if the emperor will dig a hole on the road ahead, waiting for him to jump into it?

Huo Guang hesitated and had no choice but to look at Huo Xian.

Since I can't make up my mind, it's better to let Huo Xian make the decision.Huo Xian has always been in charge of weddings and funerals, so it would be better to let her handle it.

"Madam, what do you think?" Huo Guang asked Huo Xian beside him.

What Huo Guang didn't expect was that Huo Xian looked excited. She seemed to have been waiting for Huo Guang to ask her this question, and she couldn't wait to make her decision. "Your majesty is wise and wise. You have thought carefully. Since Chengjun is the queen, of course she should enter the palace as soon as possible!"

As Huo Xian spoke, he winked at Huo Guang beside him, quietly reached out from under the case, and squeezed Huo Guang's hand.

Huo Guang understood it from his heart.

If you enter the palace as soon as possible, you can give birth to an heir as soon as possible.

This is a major event related to the lifeblood of the Huo family. Why should there be any hesitation?

"It seems that the mother-in-law still has the final say in this matter?" Liu He looked at Huo Chengjun with a smile and asked, "Then Chengjun is willing to enter the palace this month?"

Huo Chengjun on the side had no idea that the emperor would still ask himself.

The meaning of that sentence seems to be "If you don't want to, you don't have to enter the palace."

The question was simple, but it gave Huo Chengjun enough "respect".

This kind of "respect" is something Huo Chengjun has never experienced before.

Today, Huo Chengjun has experienced ups and downs. Although she desperately wanted to escape from the General's Mansion, she did not expect that her dream would come true so soon.

Moreover, it was her husband who rescued her - the emperor wanted to take her away justifiably.

Weiyang Palace may not be the best place to go, but it is very good to escape from the General's Mansion.

Moreover, the emperor seems to have good character.Seems to be a good match for him.

When Huo Chengjun thought of this, his face turned red again.

She looked at the emperor and nodded shyly.

"I fully obey His Majesty's arrangements."

"But I want to hear what you have to say." Liu He insisted.

Huo Chengjun looked at the emperor with blazing eyes and felt a little dizzy. No one had ever spoken to her like the emperor - it seemed that he always wanted her to directly say what was on his mind.

In just this short moment, Huo Chengjun became more dependent on and closer to the emperor.

It might be really interesting to spend time with the emperor in front of you day and night.

"I do." Huo Chengjun said softly.

"That's very good. Let's settle it like this. The army has not yet triumphed, so it is not appropriate to make grand arrangements. I am afraid that I will have to suffer the consequences of becoming a king. All etiquette should be kept simple and will be made up for in the future."

The parties involved have already made an agreement, so naturally no one dares to stand up and object.

"As for the day when Chengjun will enter the palace, when I came today, I asked the young master in advance. It will be an auspicious day in five days. Chengjun will enter the palace on that day."

Liu He settled the matter.

The Huo family members in the hall immediately came up to congratulate the emperor and queen.

For a time, the main hall, which had been somewhat deserted, became lively and noisy again.

Among these people, the most excited person is Huo Xian. She has now forgotten the emperor's suppression of the Huo family in the past few days.

Even Huo Guang, who was still suspicious, was infected, his face softened slightly, and his eyes looked at the emperor softer.

Huo Chengjun can enter Weiyang Palace at this time, which is at least not a bad thing.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone had finished congratulating the emperor and stood up to leave one after another...

As everyone left one by one, the main hall gradually became deserted.

The last person to say goodbye to the emperor was Fan Mingyou's wife. After she took the twins out of the main hall, there were only four people left in the hall.

Maybe it’s because there are few people, maybe it’s because it’s late at night and the wind is strong.

The main hall was not only deserted, but also a bit chilly.

The lights swayed by the wind reflected the shadows of the four people on the wall, like ghosts with teeth and claws.

Huo Guang looked at the emperor and found that the emperor had no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but become more confused.

Of course Liu He won't leave now. The night is still very long and there are still many things that have not been done.

"Father Zhong, I am very happy today."

"Your Majesty is in a happy mood, which is really a blessing for this man." Huo Guang said.

"I heard that before Emperor Xiaowu's great success, he personally gave a picture of Duke Zhou as a king to Father Zhong. I don't know if he is in the palace at the moment. I want to see it."

Huo Guang's heart trembled as Duke Zhou assumed the title of king. Was the emperor hinting at something?

"That painting was originally hanging in my study, but I sent someone to have it reframed. Your Majesty..."

"That's okay, I'll just go to Father Zhong's study." Liu He stared at Huo Guang and said a little aggressively.

"This..." Huo Guang hesitated.

"Father Zhong, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have a lot to say to you. Aren't you willing to listen?"

The emperor still smiled, and his smile was as bright as the stars.

However, these words were spoken very forcefully, leaving Huo Guang no room to refuse.

Huo Guang understood. It seemed that the emperor had something to say to him.

Does the emperor want to admit his mistake?

Huo Guang looked at the emperor's face and then at the emperor's hand holding Huo Chengjun, thinking a lot.

The emperor may not necessarily admit his mistake, but it should be a good sign.

"What do you think, Father Zhong?"

"The old man leads the order."

"Okay, then Father Zhong will take me there."

"promise!"

Liu He nodded with satisfaction and finally let go of Huo Chengjun's slightly moist hand.

But he did not stand up immediately. Instead, he looked at Huo Chengjun and then at Huo Xian.

"Mother-in-law, is there a small garden in this house?"

"Yes." Huo Xian said quickly.

"There may be a place inside where you can sit and talk."

"There is a flower hall where you can drink tea and enjoy flowers, but it's getting late, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see the flowers." Huo Xian half guessed, but he actually guessed what the emperor was going to do.

Liu He nodded and looked at Huo Chengjun again.

"It doesn't matter. Although we can't enjoy the flowers tonight, the moonlight is beautiful. Would Chengjun like to enjoy the moon with me? I have some things to say to Chengjun later."

"I-I want to."

"Okay, then I'll ask my mother-in-law to arrange this."

"No!" Huo Xian naturally agreed happily.

……

In Huo Guang's study, the monarch and his ministers sat facing each other.

The slaves brought the tea, carefully placed it on the table, and then left.

The entire study became quiet.

Huo Guang didn't speak, his eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Liu He had seen this look before.

On that day, Liu He punished Yang Chang in the court, and Huo Guang was extremely dissatisfied. This is what Huo Guang looked like later when he was waiting for the emperor to admit his mistake to him in the Xuanshi Palace.

When Liu He saw Huo Guang putting on this look, his father Zhong, who understood, was trying to convince himself with silence again.

It's a bit ridiculous that Father Zhong still looks at himself with the same old eyes.

Liu He remained calm. If Zhongfu wanted to ignore him, he was not in a hurry to agree with him.

He took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of tea and the smell of dust.

Looking around, I didn't see many luxurious furnishings and decorations in the study room.

Therefore, Liu He couldn't help but think of the rumor: Tian Yannian put tens of millions of money into the General's Mansion a year. Where did the money go?
Soon, Liu He saw a large pale mark on the wall of the study room.

"Father Zhong, was the picture of Duke Zhou becoming king that Emperor Xiaowu gave you hanging on that wall before?"

Huo Guang originally thought that the emperor would get straight to the point, so he could continue to put on airs and ignore the emperor.

But he didn't expect that the emperor asked a "practical" question, and it was about Emperor Xiaowu, so he had to not answer it at all.

Huo Guang opened his eyes and followed the emperor's gaze to the dazzling blank space.

With so many thoughts on his mind, the faces of Emperor Xiaowu, Emperor Xiaozhao and the emperor of the day kept crossing in front of him.

Finally, he looked at the emperor, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, Huo Guang's eyes were very deep and he cast them on Liu He's face without reservation.

Liu He wanted to retreat a little, but in the end he persisted and faced Huo Guang's eyes without taking a step back.

"Father Zhong, do you think I'm a little strange?" Liu He said lightly.

"More than just a stranger, I seem to have never known Your Majesty." Huo Guangqing said uncertainly.

"Then I want to know, what kind of person am I in Father Zhong's heart?" Liu He asked with a smile.

"Last month, I thought that although His Majesty's words and deeds are inconsistent, he is always a person with a pure heart..." Huo Guang did not finish the second half of the sentence, but his dissatisfaction was palpable.

In the past, he was a person with a pure mind; now he is naturally a person with an impure mind.

This is Huo Guang's accusation against the emperor.

"Including me, Father Zhong has already met three emperors."

"Then I would like to ask Father Zhong, among the emperors of the Han Dynasty, which of them were the first emperors with pure minds?"
