I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 540: The court officials forced me to depose the queen and give an explanation to the world? Tell me what the hell!

Liu He staggered a few times after standing up. If Fan Ke hadn't come over to help him, he would have fallen down.

After he stood firm, he immediately pushed Fan Ke away forcefully, and then walked towards Wei Xian step by step.

The hand holding the sword hilt had blue veins popping out.

"Your Majesty! Although Mr. Wei Ge said something rebellious, he did it out of loyalty. Your Majesty knows this!" Zhang Anshi stood up in panic to admonish.

The courtiers behind him also suddenly woke up, fearing that the emperor would be in a hurry and do something stupid like killing an important minister in public, which would be detrimental to his reputation.

So, everyone hurried forward a few steps, and all knelt down around Wei Xian, protecting him in the middle.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei Ge only spoke unscrupulously out of anger!"

"Wei Ge is a veteran of three dynasties, please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, you can't!"

"..."

Suddenly, calls for mercy arose from all sides, and the ministers used their mortal flesh and blood to block the angry dragon of the emperor.

"Loyal ministers? Yes, you and others are all loyal ministers!"

"Come on, come on, Mr. Wei Ge, if you have anything else to say, let's talk together and let me hear what loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty have to say!" Liu He staggered back a few steps.

"Old minister, I accept the decree!" After Wei Xian finished speaking, he immediately spouted it off.

"Your Majesty, this old man is already in his twilight years. If you can see the great man in his current situation, you will die without any regrets."

"But as a minister of the Han Dynasty, I can't help but say the words of loyalty in my heart. I can't hold them in my heart for a moment, otherwise I will be sorry to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty."

"Huo Guang has been assassinated for sixteen years, but Queen Huo in Jiaofang Palace is still in office."

"Your Majesty and the Queen are in love, so they will naturally be praised by the world, but after all, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the affairs of the Heavenly Family are the affairs of the world."

"The sudden appearance of so many remnants of the Huo Party in Chang'an City may not be directly related to Queen Huo, but she is still the root of the matter."

"The remnants of the Huo Party just saw His Majesty letting Prince Zhe go out to guard the border, and mistakenly thought that Your Majesty wanted to make Prince Zhe the crown prince, so they took advantage of the wind."

"If you want to completely cut off everything, you have to start from the root. Therefore, if you want to restore peace to the world, the key is Empress Huo."

Wei Xian said this series of words tremblingly, interrupted several times due to coughing, but in the end he finished it in one breath.

The courtiers kneeling on the ground shifted their gazes back and forth between the Emperor and Wei Xian, ready to take action to stop the Emperor at any time.

It's not that many people are on Wei Xian's side, but they are really worried that the emotionally unstable emperor will be temporarily confused.

When the time comes, Wei Xian will not die well, the emperor will be infamy, and the courtiers present will also leave an embarrassing mark in the history books.

Although they were frightened, they also had some respect for Wei Xian.

It has been a long time since anyone dared to disobey the emperor like this!

Regardless of Wei Xian's stance when he said these words, he can still be called a straight minister.

As soon as Wei Xian finished speaking, the emperor sneered several times.

"After all, Mr. Wei Ge is saying that the Queen is a remnant of the Huo Party!"

"If Your Majesty insists on thinking this way, I won't deny it," Wei Xian said calmly.

"So, you want me to depose the queen?" the emperor asked condescendingly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Xian said again.

"Do you remember that none of the people who advised me to depose my queen met with consequences!?"

"This time and that time, the past is different from the present. Your Majesty is extremely wise and knows how to deal with it in the right way." Wei Xian said to himself.

"Okay, okay!" Liu He did not draw his sword, but looked at the ministers and asked, "How many of the people in the hall want me to depose the queen?"

No one dared to stand up and second Wei Xian, but no one stood up to refute Wei Xian.

In the greenhouse hall, there was a weird and strange atmosphere.

It's not that Wei Xiang and others "betrayed" the emperor and colluded with Wei Xian in advance to force him into the palace.

It's just that it's really hard to talk about this matter.

They looked at the emperor's crazy look, and felt lingering fears about the emperor's suspicion.

On one side is the source of the witchcraft chaos, and on the other side is the emperor's beloved queen.

The ministers really couldn't understand which side the emperor valued more.

If you rush to give advice now, you may not be able to help the emperor, and you may even get burned, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Of course, this is what most people think, and a small number of people really think about the post-abolition!

"Mr. Wei Ge, do you really want me to depose the queen?" Liu He asked again.

"Deposing the queen does not mean abandoning the people. Your Majesty can still show favor to the Huo family. If the Huo family understands the righteousness, they will not resent the emperor."

"After deposing the queen, who should be appointed as the queen?" After Liu He asked this question, he found that the expressions of some of the ministers had obviously changed.

"This is His Majesty's family matter. It's not convenient for me to comment." Wei Xian said.

"Didn't you just say that the affairs of the Tian family are the affairs of the world? Why don't you say it now?" Liu He said sarcastically.

"There are Zhang Jieyu and Cai Jieyu in the palace. I thought that since both Jieyu are gentle and courteous people, they can be admitted to the Jiaofang Palace." Wei Xian said indifferently.

These words are said to the letter, whether it is Zhang Jieyu or Cai Jieyu, it will be the same no matter who you choose.

"What Mr. Wei Ge said is good!" The emperor didn't know whether to praise or criticize.

"Your Majesty is wise, only by deposing the queen can we give an explanation to the world."

After Liu He was silent for a moment, he suddenly shouted to Fan Ke: "Here comes someone!"

"Wei Chen is waiting for the order!" Fan Ke quickly knelt down and said.

"Go away! Call the queen here and tell her that I have something to ask her!" the emperor said sinisterly.

"This..." Fan Ke seemed to be in a dilemma.

"Go!" The emperor almost shouted.

"Wei!" Fan Ke ran out quickly.

From the Greenhouse Hall to the Jiaofang Hall, it would take at least half an hour to go back and forth.

During this half hour, the emperor stood and the ministers knelt, and the two sides faced each other like this.

The atmosphere in the Greenhouse Palace became increasingly depressing.

In the meantime, the imperial doctor hurriedly came in and delivered some decoction. The emperor raised his head and drank the decoction.

Then, whether it was because the medicine was too powerful or the pain struck him, he almost fell down.

The ministers hurriedly remonstrated and begged the emperor to sit back on the couch and rest, but he was indifferent and just stood there - kneeling down on the ministers!

Finally, an extremely excruciating half an hour passed. Huo Chengjun passed through the cold wind in the half palace and appeared in front of the greenhouse hall.

Because the edict came in a hurry, Huo Chengjun had time to change into the queen's uniform and crown.

Without the blessing of these external objects, Huo Chengjun, who came in plain clothes, looked a little haggard.

With three sons and two daughters to take care of, as well as all the trivial matters of Weiyang Palace School, how could one avoid the wasted time?

Liu He stood in the hall, looking at Huo Chengjun's still slender figure. He felt angry and heartbroken in his heart. He had so many thoughts that it was difficult to calm down.

"Queen, come here, come to me!" Liu He said calmly. "No." After Huo Chengjun finished speaking, he walked toward the emperor. All the courtiers, including Wei Xian, respectfully retreated to both sides.

No matter how many people want to depose the queen, as long as Huo Chengjun is still the queen, they must show enough respect.

After more than ten steps, it was over in the blink of an eye. Huo Chengjun came to Liu He's side and stood neither humble nor arrogant.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of calmness and calmness, with no emotion visible - whether it was family affection or love.

"Queen, I want to ask you a question." The emperor said without emotion.

"Your Majesty, just ask, I will never hide anything." the queen replied.

"Are you a remnant of the Huo Party?" the emperor asked.

Everyone was shocked and couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to ask.

"I am a descendant of the Huo family, but not a remnant of the Huo Party." Huo Chengjun replied.

"Are you involved in the witchcraft incident in Chang'an City?" the emperor asked again.

"It has nothing to do with me." Huo Chengjun said.

"Wei Ge has forced me to dethrone you and come to give an explanation to the court and the world. What do you think?" The emperor's tone was as cold as a sword.

Straight forward, beyond everyone's expectations.

The emperor is still so vigorous and resolute in doing things.

Wei Xian seemed to see a possibility. At that moment, his cloudy eyes looked at the Queen with some disobedience.

The queen did not disappoint Wei Xian, and the answer she gave was simply asking for death.

"If Your Majesty has to explain everything to the court and the world, this emperor will be nothing but a fool!" Huo Chengjun opened his white teeth and uttered these vulgar words clearly.

She was already pretty, and although there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she still had the charm of a girl.

When the word "fart" rang out in the hall, everyone including Zhang Anshi and Wei Xiang were stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

Some veterans seemed to see the emperor's madness in Huo Chengjun's face, while others seemed to see Huo Xian's arrogance in the past.

Empress Huo had lived in Jiaofang Palace for more than ten years and rarely appeared in the court. Her anger at this moment still made everyone present feel a little afraid.

Unlike the courtiers, the emperor was calm and composed, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

This sentence can only be understood by their family, and it can be called a family heirloom.

"Is the Queen scolding me?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

"In the past few days, the queen should go to live in Mingguang Palace. There is no need to stay in Jiaofang Palace. We will wait until the turmoil in the city subsides." Liu He said.

"I accept the imperial edict." After Queen Huo finished speaking, she bowed to the emperor and thanked him, then stood up and left the hall again under the gaze of the ministers.

Wei Xian watched the queen go away, feeling secretly happy, but a little disappointed.

The happy thing is that the emperor finally "punished" the queen, but the sad thing is that the emperor still did not depose the queen after all.

Wei Xian still wanted to risk his life to force the emperor, but suddenly he felt someone behind him tugging on his robe, and the intention of blocking him was obvious.

At this time, Wei Xian raised his head and saw a ferocious expression on the emperor's face, like a blue dragon looking for something to swallow.

Even if old ministers like Wang Shi and Gong Sui come back alive and say one more word, they will be eaten alive by the emperor.

Therefore, Wei Xian could only forcefully swallow what he had not yet said.

At this time, everyone heard the emperor let out an imperceptible sigh.

Immediately afterwards, the monstrous murderous intent receded quickly like a tide and disappeared without a trace.

Replaced by fatigue, decadence, oldness and helplessness.

The power that had supported the big man's violent advances for more than ten years was completely taken away at this moment.

The ministers had never seen the emperor in such a depressed state, and they all felt a little unbearable, and even more frightened.

If the emperor falls like this, where will the great man go?

"The matter of witchcraft, let's continue to investigate..."

"As for the matter of deposing the queen...the queen has never done anything wrong in the past ten years. I can't depose the queen yet!"

"What's more... Zhe'er is still in the Western Region Protector's Mansion. If I abolish the queen for no reason like this, he will be heartbroken."

"Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later when we have more clues."

"I'm a little tired and want to take a rest. Dear ladies, please step aside."

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned around and waved his hands, staggering towards the back hall.

This time, the emperor did not refuse Fan Ke's support.

Looking from the back, the emperor does not look like a man who has just passed his thirties, but looks like an old man who has entered his twilight years.

"Farewell Your Majesty!" The ministers saluted and exited the hall one after another. During this period, bursts of sighs and chokes could be heard.

Not long after, the heavy door of the Greenhouse Palace was firmly closed again, and the emperor standing in the dormitory slowly stood up straight.

He turned around. Although there were indeed streaks of blood on the white bandage around his neck, and his lips were as white as gold paper, the previous decline was wiped away.

His eyes became gleaming with sword light again.

These two sword lights were not only sharp, but also full of rationality, not as crazy as before.

"Fan Ke." Liu He said.

"The minister is here!" Fan Ke responded quickly without any surprise at the emperor's change.

"Did you remember what the ministers just said?"

"Write it down."

"Have you also written down everything the queen said?"

"Write it down."

"Okay, remember, you must follow me at all times, lest anyone say that I am heartless in the future."

"only!"

……

When the emperor was in the Greenhouse Palace, surveying the general situation of the world, the two veterans Wei Xian and Zhang Anshi couldn't wait to meet at Danqi behind the North Palace.

"The county magistrate's injuries seem to be more serious than we imagined..." Wei Xian said with both shame and worry.

"I heard from my roommate that the county magistrate still has fever from time to time, and often stays alone in the greenhouse hall. Even the sons and princesses are missing." Zhang Anshi said.

"It seems that the county magistrate's injury will not recover for a while." Wei Xian shook his head and said.

"The county magistrate is right. Whether the emperor is born or not depends on heaven. How can we, ministers, make unreasonable comments or interfere?" Zhang Anshi said indifferently.

"Zi Ru is right. Of course we can't control matters of life and death." Wei Xian replied with a sigh.

"From today on, the cabinet will probably be busier than before. I also ask Mr. Wei Ge to come back and help me to guard the court for the county magistrate." Zhang An Shiyi pointed out.

"The old man can contribute to the big man. What's the point of pity for these bones? It would be a happy thing to be buried in Congling like Su Wu." Wei Xian said with a sad smile.

The two cabinet bachelors stood side by side like this, feeling what they just said in their hearts.
