I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 363: Huo Guang lost Chang'an carelessly, and his minions fled to death and were injured! (please order)
When Anle led his troops to kill King Wu, the other troops under Liu He's command were also in their respective positions.

Jingzhaoyin, Tingwei Temple, Youfufeng and Zhaoyu were all controlled one by one by the troops sent by Liu He.

Unlike the scene of blood splattering everywhere that Liu He expected, the resistance of these Huo Dang was much lighter.

They were only angry at the beginning, but in the end they still gave up resistance in front of the emperor's edict and Habayashi Lang, and they all obediently handed over control of the government office.

Haishi has not completely passed yet, and Chang'an City has calmed down again after a slight commotion.

The envoys sent by Huo Guang were all about a quarter of an hour late.

When they arrived at the government offices where they wanted to deliver messages, they were either detained on the spot by the emperor's troops, or they sneaked into the night in disgrace and retreated to the general's mansion in disgrace.

At the time of Haizheng, in the quiet main hall of the general, Huo Guang sat on the couch and waited anxiously.

The messenger sent out has been gone for half an hour, and he should be able to bring back a reply.

At night, there were not many people left on duty at the General's Mansion, which was completely different from the bustling scene during the day, so it was particularly deserted and quiet.

Huo Guang looked at the scenes in the hall and couldn't wait any longer. He stood up from the couch and walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Looking up, the sky is full of stars, looming.

For some reason, Huo Guang always felt like he was being stared at at this moment.

He looked around guiltily, but didn't see anyone.

However, when he turned to look at the sky behind him, he realized that the moon climbing into the sky looked like an eye.

So, whose eyes could these be?
Are they his brother Huo Qubing's eyes?
Are they the eyes of Emperor Xiaowu, who was kind to him?

Or the eyes of Emperor Xiaozhao who never looked back?

Or is it the eyes of today's emperor?
No matter whose eyes it was, the cold and cool light emitted by the moon made Huo Guang feel as if his internal organs were being penetrated.

He thought again of the source of what happened tonight - Fan Mingyou and others raised troops to "clear the emperor's side"!
This made him feel more ashamed.

Fan Mingyou and others were all generals of the Han Dynasty, with a rank of more than two thousand shi. They had enjoyed the favor of the Liu family for generations, how could they do such evil things?

Moreover, these generals who led the army were probably not the culprits, but their pampered only son Huo Yu was the mastermind behind all this.

Huo Yu had connections with the Huns.

Ren Gong persuaded Huo Guang to make himself emperor.

Fan Mingyou and others went to Qingjun's side.

All these things formed a huge web, and Huo Guang was unknowingly entangled in the middle.

What made Huo Guang even more alarmed was that there seemed to be many shadows beyond this net that were temporarily unclear.

The person who wants to embarrass Huo Guang is actually not the increasingly tough emperor, but the people around him.

Huo Yu, Fan Mingyou, Ren Gong, Tian Shun... and Huo Xian in the back house seemed to be hiding many things from him.

If these people were not his close subordinates who lived with him day and night, then Huo Guang would be standing with the emperor in Weiyang Palace at this moment to clean up these young people.

But nothing is wrong. They are deeply involved and bound to him. They are the branches and leaves on the big tree of the Huo family. If Huo Guang wants to protect the Huo family, he must protect them.

In the past, they were foxes pretending to be tigers; but now, the tigers like themselves were forced towards the cliff by the foxes.

Moreover, Huo Guang, the tiger, knew that there was an irreversible cliff ahead, but he still had to move forward step by step to find a way for them to survive.

Huo Guang now has another thing to worry about. Even if tonight passes smoothly, what will happen next?
If Fan Mingyou and others win, will they kill the king?

If Fan Mingyou and others lose, will their clan be destroyed?

On one side is the mountain of swords, on the other side is the sea of ​​fire.

It’s very difficult to walk.

Tonight is just the beginning, and tomorrow happens to be the day of the big court meeting. It is really embarrassing to have to face the emperor after doing evil things.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang didn't dare to look at the moon in the sky anymore. He turned around and prepared to go back to the main hall to rest for a while.

Just as he turned around, there was a burst of messy footsteps behind him.

A messenger who was sent out knelt down in front of Huo Guang with sweat on his face.

"Report to General, Jing, Jing Zhaoyin..."

"Don't panic! Speak slowly!" Huo Guang said calmly.

"Jing Zhaoyin has been replaced!"

"What!?" Huo Guang took a step forward and picked up the skinny little envoy. "What happened? Please tell me clearly!"

"When the subordinates rushed outside the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, they saw that the man on duty outside the door was Mr. Yu Lin, so he found another reason to go up and ask..."

"I learned that a quarter of an hour ago, the imperial censor, Prime Minister Wei, came to Jingzhao Yin Yamen with the emperor's edict to take over the Jingzhao Yin Yamen and temporarily take over his duties!" The messenger didn't seem to be lying. There is no incentive to lie.

Then everything is true.

Huo Guang secretly thought something was wrong.

I am too careless!

It seems that the emperor must have known the news about Beidi County, and his actions were one step faster than his own.

It's just one step faster, but this step can kill you.

Jing Zhaoyin was in Shangguanli, very close to the General's Mansion. Jing Zhaoyin's government offices were all captured by the Emperor's men, and several other government offices were also in danger.

I don't blame the emperor for being quick, but I blame myself for being too hesitant and underestimating the emperor's determination and courage.

"Is there any other unusual movement in Chang'an City?!" Huo Guang asked in a deep voice.

"When the subordinate came back, he saw that there seemed to be noisy noises in the direction of Zhijinwu's Yamen..."

"But the subordinates didn't dare to cause trouble, so they didn't go to investigate."

Needless to say, Zhijinwu must have fallen into the hands of the emperor.

Before Huo Guang could continue to ask questions, Chen Wannian also led the two envoys and ran into the courtyard in despair.

Huo Guang didn't need to ask, Chen Wannian immediately told what he learned one by one like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Exactly what Huo Guang was thinking, You Fufeng and Tingwei Temple were also controlled by officials sent by the emperor.

Wei Xiang, Xiao Wangzhi, Huang Ba...

Huo Guang has heard their names, and he still vaguely remembers that he had some quarrel with them - saying quarrel is not accurate enough, blood feud is more appropriate.

If the emperor sent other courtiers, even Zhang Anshi and Bingji, they would still be in awe of him and would still hesitate after seeing his order.

But people like Prime Minister Wei were the courtiers who hated him the most in the Han Dynasty.

On that day, the emperor recruited them, and they were probably staying here to deal with him tonight.

The emperor is really a good chess player!

In the past, Huo Guang saw that they were assigned by the emperor to serve as left-right officials in unimportant yamen, and thought that they could not make any big waves.

But now, he understood that he was too self-righteous: the power in the hands of courtiers was not conferred by official positions, but by the emperor's edict.

Now, the emperor occupies the Shangshu office, holding the tiger talisman and jade seal, and there are this group of courtiers who hate Huo Guang, occupying the right time, place and people.

But he, Huo Guang, thought that sending a few unknown envoys with his own warrant could turn the situation around. It was simply absurd.

Looking at the three envoys who were trembling on the ground because they had not completed their mission, Huo Guang felt pitiful for them and at the same time felt pitiful for himself.

Now, the face of the Emperor was completely clear in Huo Guang's heart. For the first time, he regarded the Emperor as his opponent equally.

As the government agencies like Jingzhao Yin were out of his control, Huo Guang had fewer soldiers under his control, leaving only the 500 men of the Zhongba Lieutenant.

Huo Guang must firmly hold this team of troops.

"Chen Wannian!"

"My, my officer is here!"

"Get your horses ready immediately. I'm going out of the city to the Northern Army Lieutenant's Camp!"

"Now?" Chen Wannian raised his head and asked in horror.

Looking at Chen Wannian who had no opinion at all, Huo Guang suddenly felt sad again.

In this huge city of Chang'an, I don't have a capable confidant who can instruct me to take on important tasks?

However, the emperor's men are full of talents, and the difference between the two is simply clouds and mud.

But just half a year ago, Huo Guang had more people than he could use!
Where have all these people gone?
The former prime minister Yang Chang died, the chief minister farmland was worried about his longevity, Taichang Chenggong was in prison, the emperor appointed the prime minister to the palace, and Fan Mingyou and others were not in Chang'an...

Ting Wei Li Guang, Zhi Jin Wu Su Chang, Jing Zhao Yin Deng Po Lu, You Fufeng Fan An Ning... these people no longer have real power.

As for his good sons-in-law, their official positions are not prominent. Without the emperor's edict, they can't even go to court.

This incorrigible Chen Wannian is actually the only person he can call upon.

"Well, right now, there is no need to hesitate for a moment!" Huo Guang said very displeasedly.

"only!"
