I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 384: An old minister of Emperor Wu repaid the Han with his life; [-] soldiers were surrendered, all of them were punished with physical punishment? (Please subscribe)

The memorial signed by Su Wu and Fu Jiezi was very thick, so it was divided into many pieces of paper.

The first part of the memorial is to report peace.

Those who followed Su Wu, Fu Jiezi and others as envoys to the Western Regions were all safe and sound.

Liu Bingji, Guo Xie, and Ruan Yang are currently in Gaoping County, staying with the Chinese army under Zhao Chongguo.

This made Liu He feel some peace of mind. As long as these people can survive, it is the best outcome.

The second part is the itinerary.

The Su Fu delegation went through all kinds of hardships and reached the royal court of the Huns in the far north before the five armies left the fortress.

After the mediation and cover of some Han-Hungarian merchants and Han merchants, they finally found Su Wu's son and Li Ling in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu.

When they handed the letter written by Liu He into the hands of Li Ling, Li Ling, a "Han traitor" who had left the Han Dynasty for nearly 20 years, cried bitterly on the spot and finally agreed to return to the Han Dynasty.

The third part is to report the funeral.

Li Ling, who was willing to return to the Han Dynasty, died, and the time of his death was actually almost the same as the time in the original historical trajectory.

Of course, he didn't die from the plague like before.

But died by the sword—died by the Huns’ sword.

Li Ling's death was closely related to the great victory brought by Zhao Chongguo's troops.

It turned out that when Li Ling was about to leave the Xiongnu royal court with the Su Fu delegation, he accidentally learned the secret of someone in the Han Dynasty colluding with the Xiongnu Chan Yuting.

In order to repay the emperor's kindness of reincarnation, Li Ling insisted on staying in Shan Yuting to investigate the news, thus delaying his return to Han Dynasty.

In the end, the information about Fan Mingyou's connection with the Huns was successfully delivered to Su Wu and others, and what Li Ling had done came to light, and he eventually died in the hands of the Huns.

Even the corpse was not recovered.

Therefore, the Su Fu delegation took this news and went through untold hardships again. When it snowed for the first time in Chang'an City, they met up with Zhao Chongguo's troops and handed over to Zhao Chongguo the information that Li Ling had paid for with his life.

Earlier, Liu He sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhao Chongguo, telling him about his plans to seize power with Huo Guang.

In addition, Fan Mingyou and Tian Guangming had been patrolling on the edge of Mobei, which made Zhao Chongguo suspicious.

Putting these three things together, the "sophisticated" Zhao Chongguo analyzed the conspiracy of Fan Mingyou, Tian Guangming and others.

Therefore, at the huge risk of missing the deadline and resisting the imperial edict, Zhao Chongguo resolutely decided to return to the Han Dynasty. Finally, he led an army of [-] from Hangai Mountain and attacked Lingwu City for several days.

Hard work paid off, and Zhao Chongguo's troops actually caught up with Fan Mingyou and others' conspiracy.

Then came the great victory.

Liu He finally read the letter, and all the doubts in his heart were solved at this moment.

He stood up from the couch, walked to the door of the greenhouse hall under Liu De's doubtful eyes, and looked northward intently.

Li Ling, the man who should have disappeared into the flow of time with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty long ago, finally left.

At this point, all those who had witnessed Emperor Xiaowu's glorious, adventurous and exciting era had withered away.

Liu He felt that he seemed to have made a wrong decision a few months ago.

After all, Li Ling is no longer a person of this era, and the controversies he is burdened with may not be quelled by his emperor.

If Su Wu and Fu Jiezi really brought Li Ling back to the Han Dynasty, it would still be difficult to clear him of the crime of treason.

No matter what Liu He did, I'm afraid it would cause dissatisfaction among many people in the court, which would in turn affect his prestige as the emperor.

Now, Li Ling died in the territory of the Huns. Instead, he used his own life to make a final contribution to the Han Dynasty.

Li Ling's people had already been completely killed by Emperor Xiaowu, and Liu He had no way to promote them to higher positions.

But maybe the moment Li Ling closed his eyes, his inner guilt for the big man would at least be alleviated a lot.

Liu He remembered that Li Cheng, the great-grandson of another bloodline of Flying General Li Guang, was still alive and should be serving as a Langguan in Guanglu Temple at this moment.

If there is a chance in the future, Liu He can take credit for this contribution.

At this time, the emperor remembered the personal letter he had written to Li Ling.

In addition to the cliche remarks that emperors often say to their ministers, what Liu He did most was probably using the courtesy of a junior to apologize to Li Ling on behalf of his uncle Li Guangli, whom he had never met.

Perhaps it was Liu He's slightly eccentric behavior that finally made Li Ling decide to return to the Han Dynasty.

And this determination prompted Li Ling to want to return to Chang'an with great honor and dignity with a great achievement, which led to his own death.

Regardless of the process, part of Li Ling's wish to serve the Han Dynasty has finally come true.

Liu He looked at the sky to the north and saw a white cloud hanging on the horizon, gradually being dyed blood red by the sunlight.Perhaps, under that distant white cloud, is where Li Ling's body is buried.

One day, the Han army will once again break through the Xiongnu Shan Yuting and build a mausoleum for Li Ling.

The only person who knows my sin is Spring and Autumn.

Liu He is not qualified to evaluate Li Ling, and many people are not qualified to evaluate Li Ling.

Li Ling, who experienced three dynasties, passed away, and his merits and demerits will naturally be left to future generations and history books to comment.

……

While Liu He silently mourned this old friend he had never seen before, Zhang Anshi and others finally arrived at the Greenhouse Palace.

They didn't know why the emperor looked solemn, so they all saluted the emperor solemnly, not daring to show any slightness.

"Dear ladies, the wind outside the palace is too strong. Let me go into the palace to talk."

"promise!"

Soon, the monarch and his ministers took their seats in the greenhouse hall.

Fan Ke stood outside the door, and Han Desi stood beside the emperor.

Liu He did not rush to take out those letters, but first introduced Han De to these courtiers who were now important and would become the pillars of the court in the future.

After the emperor told Han De about his achievements, even Zhang Anshi and others kept marveling at him and praised Han De for his general demeanor.

This made Han De, who was just an adopted son, feel a little restrained and nervous.

After Liu He finished all the foreshadowing and foreshadowing, he naturally got to the point. He took out the four letters he received and showed them to the courtiers one by one.

A quarter of an hour later, several courtiers had read it all. Naturally, they were overjoyed, and even more so, happy to have survived the disaster.

In the past half month, although the fraud was going very smoothly, some mistakes inevitably occurred along the way, which kept several people awake at night.

At this time, when he suddenly saw the good news and learned that Fan Tian's two parties had been wiped out, he naturally let go of the huge stone in his heart.

However, this matter is not over yet.

Huo Guang is alive, Huo Yu is alive, and many Huo Party members are still alive... Some of them have been suspended from office, some are in prison, and some are imprisoned in government offices.

But still alive after all.

There are too many people involved here, and you can't just kill one Huo Guang and sit back and relax.

Who to kill, how to kill, how many to kill...

It is a science.

Just like today's Beidi County and Anding County, in addition to the rebels who were killed, there were as many as 5 to [-] rebels captured by Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng.

Are these ordinary soldiers really rebels?

You can't kill them all.

Zhang Anshi and the others looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and immediately understood why the emperor had recruited them.

From today on, there is no possibility for the Huo Party to make a comeback. What they have to worry about next is how to give the Huo Party a final outcome.

At the same time, we also need to give an ending to the ordinary pavilion soldiers who were dragged in.

"Guess, gentlemen, what am I worried about at this time? Wei Qing, can you tell me?" Liu He asked.

"I dare you, your majesty must be worried about the tens of thousands of captured rebels." Wei Xiang hit the nail on the head.

"Mr. Wei knows me well, but there is one thing that I'm afraid Gong Wei said wrong." Liu He said with a smile.

"I respectfully listen to your Majesty's instructions." Wei Lian asked hurriedly.

"Not 5, but 7."

Everyone's face showed a trace of confusion. They didn't know where the 2 people the emperor mentioned came from.

"A few days ago, I sent Dai Zong to Shuofang County to investigate the military situation. He just came back last night. Tian Shun's troops had exhausted their food and grass and collapsed without a fight. They were defeated at the foot of Wuyuan City. Tian Shun died in the rebellion. Among them, all the men and horses were captured and imprisoned in Wuyuan."

This is even more good news. Zhang Anshi and others are surprised and happy.

The emperor was surprised that the emperor knew the news so early, and he was happy that the military disaster was finally eliminated.

"What does Wei Qing think should be done with these 7 people?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Prime Minister Wei immediately gave his answer: "Of course it should be punished as treason. Even if the law does not punish everyone and saves them from being the leader, they should still be severely punished. I think corporal punishment can be reinstated."
