I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 414 I know that Father Zhong wants to die decently and comfortably, but I don’t allow it! ! (Please subscribe)
If Liu He sympathizes with Huo Guang at this moment because of his embarrassment and vicissitudes of life.

So who will sympathize with Emperor Xiaozhao who died of mercury poisoning, who will sympathize with Liang Yannian who died at the hands of the rebels, and who will sympathize with the innocent souls trapped in the Huojia Well?
What's more, Huo Guang admitted Huo Yu's crime of treason, but still had reservations.

"Father Zhong, I'm afraid it's not just these seven deadly sins. There is also one sin you haven't mentioned."

Huo Guang's rickety figure suddenly trembled, and his cracked and peeling lips trembled slightly.

How could he not know what crime the emperor was talking about?
After a long stalemate, Huo Guang bowed to the emperor three times in a row, and then with a trembling voice, he confessed to the last crime.

"The eighth crime...is the crime of serial regicide. The guilty woman Huo Xian acted boldly and poisoned Emperor Xiaozhao. The Huo family deserves death!"

After Huo Guang said this, his shoulders slumped down a little more, and they were piled on the ground like a ball of lifeless flesh.

The powerful minister finally knelt down pitifully in front of him and confessed.

This is the scene Liu He has been waiting for for a long time!

But for some reason, Liu He didn't feel any relief in his heart. Instead, he felt wisps of anger rising up.

Once upon a time, Liu He wanted to let Huo Guang go, and even more so the Huo family, but things were unpredictable and he still came to this point.

"Father Zhong, why do you want to kill the king!?" Liu He suddenly said through gritted teeth.

"According to people's calculations, Emperor Xiaozhao has not yet been crowned, and he regards you as his father and teacher. How did Huo Xian manage to do this!?"

"Emperor Xiaowu entrusted his son into your hands, how much trust he has in you. He hopes that you will become the Duke of Zhou and Duke of Zhao who will assist and return the government."

"I don't want you to be Cui Zhu who killed the monarch."

"Under Jiuquan, do you really have the face to face Emperor Xiaowu and... and your brother Hussar General?"

Every word Liu He said was squeezed out through clenched teeth, and the sound of teeth grinding made his hair stand on end.

But he still couldn't help but increase the strength on his teeth, as if this was the only way to suppress the anger in his heart.

Suddenly, a tooth on the back groove was bitten into pieces by Liu He, and a sweet and sharp pain spread in his mouth.

However, Liu He swallowed all the broken teeth and blood, and the heart palpitations caused by the pain actually made him feel better.

Under Liu He's questioning, Huo Guang remained motionless. Only his trembling beard showed that his heart was in turmoil.

"Then I want to ask Father Zhong, when I imprisoned you in the back house, did you and your mother-in-law ever think about killing me too?!"

"Your Majesty, I, I..." Huo Guang looked at the emperor in horror, as if he wanted to argue, but in the end he failed.

Because he suddenly remembered that he had indeed conspired with Huo Xian at that time.

Indeed, they not only thought about replacing the emperor, but also thought about regicide.

No matter how critical the situation was at that time, as a minister, how could he have such evil thoughts?

Huo Guang seemed to suddenly wake up. Was he possessed by evil spirits at that time?
No, he was not possessed by evil spirits, nor was he bewitched by Huo Xian, but he was bewitched by power and the desire for power deep in his heart.

He finally fully understood that under the infiltration of power, he had already transformed from the cautious leader of China and North Korea into an ambitious powerful thief.

If he could delegate power earlier, why would he be here today?

The sooner the power is delegated, the sooner Huo's peace will come.

The person who made Huo Guang fall to this point was not Huo Xian, Huo Yu, and not the emperor...but himself!

He failed Emperor Xiaowu, failed Emperor Xiaozhao, failed the emperor of the day, and failed the subjects of the Han Dynasty.

In this case, how could he have the face to express his feelings?

Huo Guang was speechless, and his cloudy eyes became even cloudier. He could only bow down deeply in front of Liu He who stood up again.

It's both apology and guilt.

"Okay, as I expected, Huo Guang, you really thought about regicide, right?" Liu He sneered. "I'm so stupid that I have no words to answer..." Huo Guang choked.

Seeing Huo Guang's scattered gray hair and humble appearance, Liu He's anger calmed down a little.

He sat back on the couch, poured out a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. The broken tooth was burning with pain.

"Huo Guang, you have been walking in the court for more than 20 years, been in charge of the Central Dynasty for [-] years, and assisted the government for six or seven years... you must be familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty..."

"I want to ask you now, how should you, Huo Xian, Huo Yu, and the entire Huo family be sentenced for committing these eight crimes?"

After Liu He finished speaking, he felt that it was not enough, so he added the last murderous words.

"Don't forget to count the iron coupon of the elixir book that I gave you. If I want to be a benevolent king, I can be more generous. Not only can I save one person from death, but I can also save your entire family from death!"

The iron coupon of the alchemy book can save Huo Guang from three deaths or the death of his family members.

Huo Xian's regicide, Huo Yu's rebellion, and the Huo family's corruption...these three major crimes were all serious crimes that destroyed the clan.

The iron coupon of the alchemy book hidden in the Gaomiao seems to be able to save lives, but in today's situation, it cannot save anyone at all.

At most, Huo Guang can only live alone.

Huo Guang, who was lying on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head or speak, and his sweat was dripping down even more.

"Huo Guang, why don't you answer? Do you mean you don't want to plead guilty?" Liu He mocked.

"According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the guilty minister Huo Guang shall be punished by the punishment of gong, the guilty wife Huo Xian shall be punished by the gong, the guilty minister Huo Yu shall be punished by the gong...the Huo family..."

"The Huo family will be wiped out!"

After Huo Guang said these last words, he slowly straightened up, as if the sins on his body were slightly relieved by these words.

"In that case, why did you come to see the Holy Spirit today?" Liu He asked.

"I beseech you, Your Majesty, to be merciful and grant me the punishment of the owl leader. I will not implicate my brother, and let go of the servants of the Huo family..." Huo Xian begged lifelessly.

"The Hussars General made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and was even more favored by Emperor Xiaowu. He has been in hell for many years... I will not hold him responsible for his crimes. The tomb is still intact as usual."

"As for the Huo family's slaves, the Tingwei will carefully screen them. Those who have not violated the punishment can be released."

"As for the punishment of the three of you...you don't seem to be a courageous person." Liu He said sarcastically.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister is not here to express his love for himself, but only for Huo Yu and Huo Xian. I just ask Your Majesty to remember the merits of the guilty minister and let me die with dignity." Huo Guang choked with sobs.

"Okay, then I can tell you clearly that I will not allow the change of punishment from punishment to owl leader!"

"The murder of Emperor Xiaozhao is an unprecedented crime. To only sentence the three of you to death is to open a wide net. If you change the title again, I will have no face to face the world!"

"The person who created the tomb will have no consequences and does not need to be severely punished. I am worried that one day he will be killed."

After the emperor finished speaking, the old Huo Guang was full of grief, anger and pleading.

"Is Your Majesty really so cruel that you are not willing to give this last dignity to your veterans and relatives?"

"Huo Guang, it's not that I'm too cruel. You have to be decisive in doing things and leave no harm behind. You taught me that, and you taught me well."

The only glimmer of light left in Huo Guang's eyes finally dimmed completely.

I came to plead with the emperor today. I never expected to get a good result, but when I was rejected, I was still extremely disappointed.

But after the loss, it became calm.
