I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

It was the You hour of the day, and the interior of Huo's house remained cold and silent.

Compared with the bustle of ordinary people's homes, Huo Zhai is as lifeless as a tomb.

Huo Guang, Huo Xian, and Huo Yu finished their dinner in silence and hurriedly dispersed: Death is right in front of them, and their lives are precarious, so what can they say?

Huo Yu and Huo Xian left the dormitory and went to the side rooms to rest, leaving Huo Guang alone in the dormitory.

Tonight, although Huo Guang drank a pot of Xuan wine and was already drunk, he was not in a hurry to fall asleep. Instead, he lit a lamp and read.

The book I read was "Zuo Zhuan" by Zuo Qiuming. It was printed on rice paper, which was much lighter than bamboo slips.

Huo Guang remembered that this was sent by the emperor a few months ago - the emperor was keen on printing books, and every time a new book was printed, he would give one to Huo Guang and Huo Chengjun each.

At that time, Huo Guang was busy with political affairs, and his mind was full of important events in the court, so he didn't even turn over it, but placed it casually on the desk in his bedroom.

That day, Huang Ba brought people to search the Huo family, and all the written things were confiscated.

Only the "Zuo Zhuan" given by the emperor has been preserved.

Yesterday, after Huo Guang returned to his dormitory from Wuyang Palace, he accidentally saw the dusty "Zuo Zhuan".

I had nothing to do, so I opened it and started reading.

I never thought that I would sink into this reading.

The famous ministers and princes such as Duke Zhou, Duke Zhao, Cui Zhu, Yan Zi, Zi Chan, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Zhuang of Zheng, Zhan Qin, and Han Hu are vividly written by Zuo Qiuming.

The picture of the struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period slowly unfolded in front of Huo Guang, showing the swords, swords, and verbal battles of that era.

Originally, Huo Guang just wanted to kill time, but instead of thinking about it, he became more and more obsessed.

In the process of reading "Zuo Zhuan", he finally figured out the purpose of Emperor Xiaowu giving him the picture of Duke Zhou becoming king.

The key is not to be alone, but to let go of the power in your hands.

From the year when Shangguan Jie was overthrown to a few months ago, Huo Guang had countless opportunities to delegate power and return power.

As long as he seizes any moment, Huo Guang can escape unscathed, and the Huo family can still stand firm.

But Huo Guang still missed all the opportunities, leading step by step to the irreversible situation today.

If he could have read "Zuo Zhuan" earlier, he might not have died trapped in this small bedroom.

Therefore, during these two days, Huo Guang spent all his time reading "Zuo Zhuan" except for the few hours he slept.

The level of obsession was so intense that I couldn't put the book down.

I'm afraid even doctors like Tian Wangsun and Xue Guangde will feel ashamed after seeing it.

That night, from Youshi to Xushi, and from Xushi to Haishi, Huo Guang kept leaning on the desk and reading "Zuo Zhuan" attentively.

Time seemed to go back decades ago, when I was helping Emperor Xiaowu review memorials in the Shangshu Office.

It's quiet and lonely but has its own kind of comfort.

Huo Guang actually wished that time could move slower so that he could read a few more articles before he died.

……

However, the silence of the night was finally broken.

At a quarter of the hour, when Huo Guang finished reading "Eunuch Phi Meets Duke Wen" and was still immersed in the twists and turns after Jin Wen Gong's escape, there was a commotion in the quiet courtyard.

Originally, Huo Guang thought that the swordsmen were drunk and fooling around, so he didn't take it to heart.

But soon, the noisy sound got closer and closer, and then turned into faint shouts of killing, and finally the sound of the collision of swords could be heard.

When Huo Guang put down the book in his hand and still understood what happened in the courtyard, the door to the bedroom was pushed open with a bang.

The wind and snow poured in, making Huo Guang shiver.

The person who came turned out to be the tall and mighty Huo Shan!

Moreover, he was still wearing Habayashiro's armor, and he was holding a ring-headed sword in his hand.

Huo Shan was followed by five or six young men with unkind expressions. Although they were dressed like Mr. Yu Lin, they did not have the temperament of sons of a good family in Guanzhong.

In just a short moment, Huo Guang had already guessed what might happen next.

"My grandnephew Huo Shan greets the general!" Huo Shan bowed and said.

Huo Guang looked at the sword in Huo Shan's hand with lingering fear, and asked in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm here to rescue the general!"

"The General's Mansion is guarded by swordsmen and halberds. You are simply using your arms as a chariot!" Huo Guang scolded sternly. He still subconsciously regarded himself as the General.

"Those swordsmen and halberd warriors were of no use at all. We rushed towards them, but before we could fight, the rats fled. Huo Zhai was already under our control."

Huo Shan said very proudly, with disdain in his words.

Lang Wei and Bingwei were constraining each other in Weiyang Palace, and they had always had dissatisfaction. It was only natural for Huo Shan to be proud at this time.

Huo Guang listened carefully and found that the shouts of death outside the hospital had indeed subsided.

"Where are you taking me to?" Huo Guang asked.

"North." Huo Shan stood up and said two words briefly without explaining much.

Huo Guang's thoughts were confirmed. He never expected that these ambitious people would actually rebel against the Han.

"Where is Huo Yu's asshole? Let him come to see me!" Huo Guang said angrily, making a fist with his right hand and hitting the case hard.

If Huo Guang had been so angry before, not to mention Huo Shan and Huo Yu, even today he would have bowed down immediately to apologize.

But at this moment, even though Huo Guang's hand was hurt from the impact, Huo Shan only looked embarrassed and showed no respect at all.

As for the gangsters pretending to be Mr. Yu Lin who were following Huo Shan, they showed no respect at all, and could not even hide the disdain on their faces.

No wonder they were so contemptuous, after all, the "general" in front of them was no different from an ordinary old man.Before Huo Shan could think of how to explain, Huo Yu walked into the bedroom while arranging his armor.

He is wearing a bright helmet, swords and crossbows, and all the insignia and badges. At first glance, he looks exactly like the real Habayashi Lang.

Presumably the necessary seals and talismans have been forged, so it is not difficult to avoid the interrogation of lower-level military schools.

Huo Yu was really thoughtful, but he just used it in the wrong place.

"Shuzi, what are you going to do tonight?" Huo Guang asked again with an angry look.

"Father, I have told you many times that this time I ventured back to Chang'an City to save my father from trouble," Huo Yu said.

"Save me out of trouble? Or do you want me to follow you and become a traitor?" Huo Guang said angrily, breathing rapidly.

"Going north to the Xiongnu is just a temporary measure. When the world changes, we will eventually have the opportunity to return to the Han Dynasty, and then we can seal the wolf as Xu!"

"This kid is doing everything for his father and the Huo family!"

As he spoke, Huo Yu raised his sword and performed a military salute, without feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said.

"Shut up!" Huo Guang yelled angrily.

He was so angry that his blood kept rising, making his face red and dizzy.

"You evil son, you are not doing this for me and the Huo family. You just want to use me as a certificate of surrender for you to surrender to the Huns. You are so ambitious that you will be punished!"

"Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng are also known as veteran generals, and they are both useless people. They still let you live. They should have shot you to death in front of the battle. Why is this?"

"The county magistrate is also stupid. He doesn't care about reputation and Han law. He should kill you on the way back to Chang'an. If I were in charge, you would be a withered skeleton outside the east city!"

Huo Guang gritted his teeth and cursed angrily. He tried to stand up several times, but he felt that the world was spinning and he couldn't do it.

"Father, the situation is critical. Please leave these scoldings to the child until I get out of Chang'an. It's not the time yet." Huo Yu said lightly.

"You, you..." The furious Huo Guang raised his finger and pointed at Huo Yu, but he was speechless.

"Father, please leave the city with your child immediately. Don't ruin the Huo family just because of fame and reputation!"

"I, I will be a minister of the Han until my death, and I will never betray the Han!" Huo Guang used all his strength to squeeze out these words.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Huo Xian, who had already changed into thick robes, also squeezed into the bedroom.

When she saw Huo Guang sitting on the couch angrily, holding the case with both hands, refusing to obey, she also had a look of contempt on her face.

At this moment, in Huo Xian's mind, his all-powerful husband was like an unreasonable old widower, stubborn and ridiculous.

She just glanced at Huo Guang, but had no intention of talking to him. Instead, she turned directly to Huo Yu and Huo Shan.

"The general drank wine tonight and is still drunk. What he said was drunken. Can't you hear it? Do you want to let him continue to act nonsense?"

"Tie up your hands and feet with a rope, and stuff your mouth with a cloth. You are said to have survived the battle on the battlefield. Can't you be bad at such a small thing?"

"Don't let your mother-in-law act like a woman without her own opinion. Act quickly!" At the critical moment, Huo Xian had to be able to make the decision.

As soon as she finished speaking, the rogues immediately showed joy and respect, and cast meaningful glances.

Huo Shan and Huo Yu also had fierce looks in their eyes, and turned to look at Huo Guang, who still wanted to resist.
"I am the Great General of Sima, the Marquis of Bo Lu, and the Chief Minister of the Han Dynasty. Who dares to touch me!?" Huo Guangse shouted inwardly.

This trembling roar used up the last bit of his majesty, but it could no longer scare anyone away.

"Father, I have been offended. Please forgive my child for being disrespectful!"

Huo Yu gave the order, and the fake Yulin Langs swarmed up and tied the struggling Huo Guang tightly, not forgetting to stuff a ball of linen cloth into his mouth.

Looking at his old father who was tied up, Huo Yu didn't feel any pity, sympathy or guilt.

He felt relieved for a while. Fortunately, his mother made the decision, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.

"There are people in the city who are waiting for us. Let's move towards Hengmen immediately. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!" Huo Yu shouted loudly.

"Wei!" A group of dead soldiers responded loudly immediately, with the momentum that they could accomplish something big.

Huo Yu rushed out of the dormitory first, while Huo Shan led people to escort Huo Guang to the courtyard of the atrium.

After several days of continuous searches, the Huo family had already been robbed by those nasty guys from Tingwei Temple, and there was nothing left to deal with.

So Huo Yu didn't stay in the courtyard for too long and prepared to walk towards the main entrance of Huo's house.

At this moment, a figure rushed in and knelt down in front of Huo Yu and Huo Guang with a pop.

"General, little general, what is going on? Why do you want to tie up the general?" It turned out to be the old slave Zuo Qi, who looked at everything in front of him in horror.

"I will go to the Huns to find a way out." Huo Yu said indifferently, looking at Zuo Qi who was kneeling on the ground.

"Surrender to the Huns? How can this happen? This is a bad thing. Isn't the Hussars General specifically dedicated to fighting the Huns?"

"This moment, that moment!" Huo Yu remained expressionless.

"This is impossible, young general, madam, this is impossible. The Huo family's ancestral graves will be dug up!"

Zuo Qi knelt on the ground and cried, Huo Guang also began to struggle, and there was confusion for a while.

Huo Xian came to Huo Yu's side again and said bitterly: "Kill this old slave, don't waste my time waiting!"

Huo Yu hesitated for a moment. After all, when he was a child, he always rode on the shoulder of Zuo Qi, who was lame, and played everywhere.

What's more, Zuo Qi's leg was lame because of himself.

However, after just a moment of hesitation, he gave Huo Shan a wink.

Without saying a word, the latter slashed Zuo Qi's neck with a knife. Blood spread all over the floor, and the old slave fell down.

Huo Yu was silent, Huo Xian was satisfied, and Huo Guang was desperate.

"go!"

"Wei!" (End of this chapter)
