I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 365: Father Zhong is in a hurry to bring reinforcements. Then why don’t you kneel down when you see me? (Please subscribe)
"The Emperor has issued an edict, and Fan Mingyou, Tian Guangming and others raised troops in Lingwu County, Beidi County to rebel. They are treasonous and unethical..."

"Fan Xu and Huo Feng have a personal relationship with them, so they ordered Weiyang Guard Wang Ji to temporarily lead the Zhongbao School Lieutenant. Fan Huo and Fan Huo will return to their residence in Chang'an City immediately. They are not allowed to leave the city without an edict!"

As soon as the edict was read, everyone was frightened.

Fan Mingyou and others did not write directly to Fan Xu and others, so the latter knew nothing about what happened under Lingwu City.

Although these two people are also members of the "Zuojun Alliance", they didn't know that such a big event had happened in the north until now.

They lay on the ground, secretly exchanging glances with each other at a loss, as if they were discussing what to do next.

"Fan Huan and Huo Feng, won't you accept the emperor's edict?" Wang Ji said coldly, "Is it true that you are in the same party as Fan Mingyou and others, and you want to rebel?"

Fan Huan and Huo Feng did not make any unnecessary moves. On the contrary, the princes and village chiefs behind them were a little scared, and most of them buried their heads lower.

Wang Ji was secretly happy. It seemed that there were loyal ministers among the lieutenants.

"Mr. Wangfu, do you have the tiger talisman? I want to check it?" Huo Feng, the envoy of the army guard, straightened up and said.

"The tiger talisman is right here. Mr. Huo can take out the other half of the tiger talisman to match the talisman." Wang Ji took out half of the tiger talisman from his arms and said, "This matter is of great importance. All the princes and captains can also get up and check it!"

"No!" Everyone present, including Fan Xu, stood up and looked at Wang Ji's hand.

When they saw half of the tiger talisman in Wang Ji's hand, even though it was not in compliance with the requirements, they were a little more convinced by the words of the emperor's edict.

Huo Feng naturally saw it, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong, and he really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Huo Feng didn't get any instructions from anyone, and he didn't know how to deal with it. He couldn't just say that the tiger charm was fake if it didn't comply, right?
"Huh? Huo Feng, why are you hesitating? Do you really want to rebel?!" Wang Ji asked again.

Huo Feng was forced to do so. He had to walk slowly to Wang Ji, took the left talisman from Wang Ji's hand, and took out the right talisman from his arms.

In an instant, the two petals of the tiger fit together perfectly, without any difference.

The mortise and tenon joints on the inside match, and so do the inscriptions on the outside.

"What, can this tiger talisman be closed?" Wang Ji said provocatively, "If the talisman is correct, then General Huo will return this tiger talisman to me."

Huo Feng looked back at Fan Huan, but did not get any orders from the latter. He had no choice but to hold up the tiger talisman with both hands and return it to Wang Ji.

After the match is completed, the complete tiger talisman will remain in Wang Ji's hands as a certificate for troop deployment.

According to the established system, the emperor would soon send someone to take away half of it and bring it back to the Shangshu Office as a check on Wang Ji.

"I have the emperor's edict in my hand, and the tiger talisman can also be combined. Generals Fan Xu and Huo Feng, please obey the edict and return to Chang'an."

At this last moment, Fan Xu finally no longer planned to remain silent.

He couldn't just hand over the military power of the lieutenant in vain, otherwise how would he explain it to the general in the future.

"Wait a moment, my lord, the edict is correct and the tiger talisman is correct, but do you have the general's warrant?" Fan Huan stopped in front of Wang Ji's horse.

"Exactly, the Lieutenant of the Central Base is the leader of the Northern Army. How could the military power be handed over so hastily?" Huo Feng also shouted.

Huo Feng is only 40 years old this year, while Fan Xu is 45 years old, so he is much more experienced in adapting to changes.

Wang Ji had already calculated that they would say this, and had also thought of how to deal with it.

"You two are saying that the general's consent is required for the county magistrate to change the military power of the lieutenant?"

"Don't you know that the emperor has already taken charge of the government?"

"Or are you saying that you know that the emperor personally governs the country, but you still think that the status of the general is higher than that of the emperor?"

"Or maybe you have a personal grudge against the general, so you want to trap the general into being unkind and unjust?"

Wang Ji asked three questions in a row, and the logic was advanced layer by layer. Together, it was a heart-breaking argument, completely blocking the possibility of Fan Huo and his wife to quibble.

Although Fan Huan and Huo Feng did not get out of Wang Ji's way, they were a little more embarrassed and panicked.

They couldn't answer any of these three questions, or they didn't dare to answer any of them.

Wang Ji sneered, not intending to talk nonsense with them anymore, he passed them directly and shouted to the princes and commanders behind them.

"The princes, princes and village commanders under the command of the Zhongbao Colonel are listening to the order. I have the tiger talisman and the edict in my hand. It is Wang Ji, the Zhongbao Colonel who was personally ordered by the county magistrate."

"I have an order from this general. If Fan Xu and Huo Feng disobey the imperial edict, they should be captured immediately and taken to the imperial prison to await their punishment!"

After Wang Ji gave the order, the three princes and more than half of the village chiefs only hesitated for a moment before pulling out the Huanshou knife from their waists and preparing to attack Fan Huo and the other two.

Seeing that the situation had reached an irreversible point, Fan Xu didn't care about anything else at the moment. He pulled out his sword and roared: "Whoever dares to move will risk his life!?"

After his order, the other two princes and a few village chiefs also showed their weapons.

As for the two hundred officials who came out to wave flags and shout, they could only stare at each other on the ground, not knowing which side to help.

Suddenly, the situation in the field became tense, and a fight was about to break out.

Wang Ji wanted to send a message to Habayashi Lang behind him, but he didn't dare to leave. Fan Huo and Fan Huo wanted to escape back to the camp and resist, but they didn't dare to turn around.

As a result, the tension gradually turned into a suffocating stalemate.

When Wang Ji moved his hand to the hilt of the sword, trying to take advantage of the number of people to directly capture Fan Huo and the other two, the sound of carriage and horse bells suddenly came from the official road to the east.

Not long after, a group of five or sixty cavalrymen rushed out of the night and came to the moment, surrounding both sides.

Fan Huan and Huo Feng were stunned at first, but when they saw the stamps on the knights' armors, their eyes showed ecstasy.

"It's the general! The general is here!"

Unexpectedly, this cavalry turned out to be Huo Guang's private army, so the person coming was naturally Huo Guang!

Wang Ji felt bad in his heart. His momentum could suppress minor characters like Fan Huan and Huo Feng, but he couldn't suppress Huo Guang.

Huo Guang's prestige is very high, and his control over the Han army has become a kind of inertia, even surpassing the tiger charms and imperial edicts.

"Go and deliver the letter quickly!" Wang Ji hurriedly shouted in a low voice to the chief next to him.

The chief reacted extremely quickly, but in the end he was still a step too slow, and the way forward was immediately blocked.

Seeing that Wang Ji could not deliver a message to the emperor at the rear, Wang Ji suddenly became anxious.

If Huo Guang were allowed to control the situation here first, then the emperor would probably not be able to enter the camp gate of the Zhongbao Colonel when he arrived later.

In the past, didn't Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Camp block Emperor Xiaowen outside the camp?
In this time of even competition, what matters is who can seize the opportunity.

Wang Ji was anxious, while Fan Huo and the others were proud.

It's hard to be dissatisfied, because their big backer is about to arrive.

In today's Han Dynasty, which soldiers and horses dare to make trouble in front of General Sima, and which general dares to show off in front of General Sima?
After about half a stick of incense, several more knights rushed out of the darkness.

The leader was none other than General Huo Guang.

Huo Guang, who came with a cold face, restrained his horse, stopped calmly, and then slowly walked into the chaotic crowd.

No matter which side they were on, they all looked at Huo Guang in awe.

Especially Fan Yan and Huo Feng looked at Huo Guang like a savior.

Although he was the center of attention, Huo Guang didn't look at anyone.

He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he left Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City, he seems to be the supreme one, able to control the fate of everyone in the city, but Chang'an City is not just a huge cage, trapping him in it.

Huo Guang couldn't help but look up at the sky. It was already midnight.

The eye-like moon was covered by a dark cloud that came from nowhere, so the stars in the sky were like a Milky Way, leaking from the sky.

He hadn't seen such beautiful scenery for a long time.

Naturally, I remembered the time I spent traveling in the Kanto County when I was young. It was really nostalgic.

However, Huo Guang's sentimentality from his boyhood did not last long. Under the Milky Way, he still had a dispute to resolve.

"General, Weiyang Weiwei Wang Ji secretly stole the Tiger Talisman and sent an imperial edict to seize our military power, which is tantamount to conspiracy. The general is aware of the fire and will definitely send him to the imperial prison and torture him severely!"

Fan Xu was stunned now. He knelt in front of Huo Guang's horse and a villain came to complain first. He told what happened just now in one breath.

But it was also slightly polished.

Calling the imperial edict a "false imperial edict" and calling the tiger talisman a "stealing talisman" shows no regard for face.

Wang Ji looked livid and looked at Fan Xu's dancing "performance" with cold eyes.

Just a little bit, I didn't expect Huo Guang to come.

"General, the county magistrate's edict is here. It is stamped with the county magistrate's private seal and the imperial seal. How can it be false?" "If the general doesn't believe it, you can come and check it!"

Huo Guang did not pick up the edict and tiger talisman handed over by Wang Ji, because as long as he had seen it, he had to recognize it.

"I don't need to look, it's true." Huo Guang said calmly.

Under the swaying lights, Huo Guang's face, half covered by his beautiful beard, was a little unclear, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

But his words left Fan Huan and Huo Feng confused. Which end did the general stand on?

"So what the general is saying now is that there is nothing unsystematic about the procedures for lowering officials to mobilize troops?" Wang Ji asked again.

"The prince has both an edict and a tiger talisman, which naturally complies with the procedures for troop deployment." Huo Guang said on the horse still calmly.

"In that case, can the general make a way for me to enter the middle camp and take over the camp?" Wang Ji asked bluntly.

This time, Huo Guang finally hesitated for a moment in his answer.

But in the end, he gave his own answer.

"Tonight, I also received military information from Beidi County, so I came to the Lieutenant's camp to stabilize the morale of the army..."

"The county magistrate acts vigorously and resolutely, so he naturally has the demeanor of a wise king..."

"But - after all, the county magistrate has just taken charge, and I'm afraid he doesn't know the possible consequences of changing generals on the spot..."

"As the Great Sima General, I should naturally dissuade him from the sidelines, so it is better for Fan Huan to continue to assume the position of Lieutenant of the Middle Base."

Huo Guang went around in such a long circle, and even spoke vaguely about the matter in the North, but in the end he finally came to the conclusion.

"The county magistrate's edict clearly states that this general will take over the position of captain of the middle base. Does the general want to resist the edict?"

"My lord, the county magistrate is still young. Although he is decisive and quick, he will inevitably follow the wind and rain. It is still unclear whether General Du Liao is treasonous. How can he change the general with such a big fanfare..."

"I am here tonight to vouch for Fan Huan and Huo Feng. They are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether Fan Mingyou is treasonous or not, they will definitely not have treasonous intentions."

Huo Guang spoke slowly and calmly. No matter how he decorated his words, the sum total was three sentences.

If the imperial edict is not accepted, the Huo Party will protect it and military power will not be handed over.

"After all, the general is going to resist the imperial edict?" Wang Ji asked in a deep voice.

"Well, if the prince insists on saying this, I won't deny it. You have the right to act like an old man and rely on your old age to resist the edict."

After Huo Guang finished speaking, Wang Ji saw soldiers from the camp coming out in a steady stream - thinking that Huo Guang had just taken advantage of the chaos and sent people to mobilize troops.

When Fan Huan and Huo Feng saw that the situation had turned to their side, they immediately became arrogant and looked at Wang Ji with mockery, showing a desire to kill him quickly.

"The prince does not need to worry about being implicated in this matter. After dawn today, I will kneel down to the county magistrate at the court meeting and explain the matter. The magistrate will also agree with me."

The angry Wang Ji wanted to speak out and argue again, but before he could speak, a sarcastic voice came from the humble Changyi doctor who was following him.

"Then the general, please kneel down now."

There were many soldiers present, but the voice was not loud, and no one could tell who was speaking.

But Huo Guang still stopped. His eyes went back and forth among the dozen knights, trying to find out who the daring person was.

Before he could find the culprit, the desperate voice came over again.

"Why don't you kneel down, General?" There was a hint of provocation in his words.

Huo Guang was even more displeased by his voice before he saw him.

He finally couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Who is talking?"

Huo Guang originally thought that the man did not dare to answer, but what he never expected was that a knight standing in the corner pulled the reins and walked in front of everyone.

The knight took off his iron helmet in the confused eyes of Huo Guang and others, and a thin and delicate face appeared in front of everyone.

Isn’t this the current emperor? !

Why is the emperor here?

Not only Huo Guang and others were puzzled, but Wang Ji was also puzzled. Wasn't the emperor in the car battle at the rear?
"Father Zhong, you said you would kneel down to me and report this matter to me at the court meeting today..."

"I'm right here, so Father Zhong doesn't have to wait until dawn. Let's come and play now."

It turns out that since Liu He decided to "enter the chess game with his own body", how could he hide behind and watch?
He had already put on the armor of Changyi Lang and mingled with the Changyi Lang that he called Wang Ji.

Unexpectedly, this risky move actually killed the "big dragon" Huo Guang.

At this moment, Huo Guang looked at the emperor's stern face and felt an unreal feeling. He never thought that the emperor would appear here.

His heart turned from shock to sadness, and the huge body immediately lost all its strength.

Unless Huo Guang dares to kill the king in front of everyone, he will not be able to maintain the military power of the lieutenant.

Killing the king in public, Huo Guang couldn't do such a thing.

This will not only make him the target of crusade from all over the world, but even his brother's grave next to Maoling will be dug up, and his bones crushed and ashes thrown away.

There are many regicides in the world, but killing a king in public is simply insane.

In the past, when Cui Zhu killed his king, he had to do so within a high-walled compound.

Huo Guang could not think of any official in history who would dare to do such a vicious thing.

"I am a humble minister, Wang Ji. I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. Please forgive me!"

Wang Ji was the first to kneel down.

Then those who knelt down were the dozen Changyi Langs.

Further down are the military princes and camp commanders who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

In an instant, under the emperor's continuous gaze, General Huo Guang finally dismounted and knelt down solemnly.

Huo Guang has already retreated, so others are even less afraid to entrust him.

Fan Huan and Huo Feng knelt down in despair.

The soldiers loyal to them knelt down.

The soldiers who didn't know why didn't kneel down.

Like the waves of a great river, from near to far, everyone knelt down.

In the open space in front of the Northern Army camp, as well as on top of the camp, Liu He was the only one left sitting on his horse.

Finally, still led by Wang Ji, everyone shouted in unison: "I wish the Emperor well!"

The roar of mountains and tsunami can be heard more clearly at this night.

Liu He, who had always respected his veterans, did not rush to ask Huo Guang to stand up this time. Instead, he first sent someone to mobilize the Lang Wei who were a mile away.

It wasn't until Liu He heard the sound of horse hooves that he looked at Huo Guang who was lying on the ground again.

"Father Zhong, please get up. It's already midnight and the night is already deep. If you have anything to say, please discuss it at the court meeting tomorrow. You can go back to your house and I will take care of it."

This is an order to expel guests, and it is also a reminder.

How could Huo Guang be willing to stand up?

"Your Majesty, I..." Huo Guang wanted to defend himself again.

"Father Zhong!" Liu He suddenly raised his voice again, completely suppressing Huo Guang's voice.

"Does Father Zhong not know who is leading the army in Beidi County and plotting rebellion?"

"If Father Zhong forgets, then I can remind Father Zhong!"

"This is General Du Liao, Fan Mingyou, your good son-in-law and my good brother-in-law!"

"I know that Father Zhong is concerned about government affairs, so he came here late at night to stabilize the situation!"

"But this matter is deeply involved with the Huo family. Father Zhong had better not get involved."

"Even if I know that Father Zhong is loyal, people in the world will probably say that Father Zhong wants to cooperate with Fan Mingyou and others inside and outside!"

The emperor's cold voice came from the horse, and when blown by the cold wind at night, it made people feel even more cold and heartless.
