I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 82
The next day, Chang'an City, in front of the east gate of Weiyang Palace.

A middle-aged man with a handsome face, a beautiful beard, and a purple ribbon around his waist, was being led by a visitor, and was striding towards the palaces in front of him.

If the waist is tied with a purple ribbon, then there must be a gold seal in the bag.

The golden seal with purple ribbon means that the person wearing it has already stood at the top of the court, whether it is the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, or the third prince.

What's more, there is still a sword hanging on his waist with open flames - the sword is even more hot when it is on the temple.

This middle-aged man, who is over half a century old but doesn't show any signs of fatigue, is none other than General Da Sima—Huo Guang!
Huo Guang reached out his hand to touch his beautiful beard, and asked in a calm voice: "When will the Prime Minister, Doctor Yushi, Zongzheng, and Shaofu arrive?"

After hearing this, the young visitor immediately bowed his head and replied without daring to stop: "Report to the general, they have arrived first."

The rank of Tianzi Yezhe is four hundred shi, which is comparable to that of a county's prime minister, and he can be regarded as an official, but at this moment, he is trembling like a female rabbit trampled under the claws of a fierce tiger.

Not only this little visitor, but even the guardians of a country and a county must keep silent in front of Huo Guang.

Six years ago, when Huo Guang took advantage of Shangguan Jie's rebellion with Yan Wang Liu Dan to kill all political enemies, he became the "invisible emperor" of the Han Empire.

What's more, now, the frail and sickly Han emperor survived the winter, and when spring came, he still passed away!
The county magistrate is dead, and the new king has not yet been established.

No matter in name or in reality, Huo Guang at this moment is the one who speaks the truth of the Han Empire.

Even who will sit in the chair in Weiyang Palace has to be decided by Huo Guang.

In front of such a carnivore, who can not be afraid, who can be disrespectful?

Hearing the visitor's answer, Huo Guang frowned and quickened his pace, walking towards the layered palaces a hundred steps away.

Huo Guang's eyes were as firm as usual, but if anyone dared to look at him, they would definitely be able to see a trace of fatigue and sadness in the depths of their eyes.

The emperor who has been taken care of by him for 13 years is now lying in the strong and heavy Zi Palace in the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

For Huo Guang, the Daxing Emperor is not only the emperor, but also his own son.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but think of the scene where Emperor Xiaowu entrusted himself before his grand tour.

The picture of Zhou Gong becoming king is still hanging in the Shangshu Office.

Feelings of guilt toward Emperor Xiaowu emerged from the bottom of my heart. Could it be that I was too bossy, which made the emperor feel depressed and died suddenly?
"General, be careful of the steps." The visitor reminded cautiously.

"En." Huo Guang paused, looked carefully, and then stepped up the steps step by step.

However, now is not the time to feel guilty, if you really did something wrong, then let Emperor Xiaowu hold you accountable after death.

Because I still have a tricky thing to solve at this time.

The Daxing Emperor died early and had no heir, who should be the heir to the Datong? !
The Emperor Daxing was in his prime, although he was weak and sick, but Huo Guang never thought that he would leave so suddenly, so suddenly that he would not have time to plan this matter for himself.

I have assisted the emperor to manage it painstakingly for more than ten years, replacing the old and bringing out the new, cutting out the bad, and finally turned the situation where the building was about to collapse.

In the future, if the new emperor ascends the throne, will he still be able to trust himself like the Daxing emperor and continue to "decide and shine on the world's major events"?

Huo Guang was not sure.

Over the past few decades, I have been careful everywhere, walking on thin ice, and walked here step by step from the gate of the palace.

Everyone in the world knows that Huo Guang is high and powerful, but how does it know that Huo Guang is also afraid?
Under the seemingly calm court hall, maybe there is an undercurrent surging?
After a while, Huo Guang finally walked outside the front hall of Weiyang Palace. Standing here and looking inside, he could vaguely see the shadow of the huge red Zigong, the intricate and unpredictable patterns on it stretched out their teeth and claws like ghosts.

The news of the emperor's trip has not yet been announced to the world. Huo Guang must discuss with the princes in the court as soon as possible to choose a suitable person to worship the ancestral temple and bring the Han Empire back on track.

After all, the Western Regions are not peaceful, and there is an undercurrent in the court. The Guangling King, who can fight bears with his bare hands, is just about to move, and those Lizi in the family seem to be plotting something...

These problems have not been revealed, and the solution depends entirely on the new king's ascension to the throne.

In the front room of Jiaofang Hall, a total of 20 people gathered together, including the Sangong Jiuqing and the elders of the clan.

Sitting on the first couch in the room was the empress Shangguan who was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

The rest of the officials sat on both sides of the head according to their rank.

The first position on the right is still vacant, which is reserved for Huo Guang.

Although the prime minister Yang Chang, the censor Cai Yi, Zongzheng Liu De, Guang Luxun Zhang Anshi and others were all present, but no one spoke.

In the huge hall, only the empress Shangguan, who had changed into mourning clothes in advance, lowered her head slightly and sobbed softly.

"Great Sima General Huo Guang please pay homage to the Queen."

There was a high-pitched shout from the waiter outside the door, and the people who had been waiting in the hall sat up straight and looked refreshed.

Only the empress Shangguan looked the same as before.

Soon, Huo Guang walked into the hall, and the first thing he saw was the haggard-looking Empress Shangguan.

There seemed to be a tingle in Huo Guang's heart.

Empress Shangguan is his granddaughter, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as close relatives.

It's a pity that the queen of Shangguan's surname is Shangguan, Shangguan Jie's Shangguan.

In the extremely dangerous murder a few years ago, it was Huo Guang who personally drew up the edict to kill the Shangguan family.

In just a few days, blood flowed, and the once prominent Shangguan family disappeared.

Only Empress Shangguan and her mother survived.

Since then, Huo Guang has never seen Empress Shangguan smile.

"I want Ruofu and Ruofu to lead the yellow dog and go out to Shangcai Dongmen to chase the cunning rabbit, how can I get it!"

Huo Guang really felt the desolation and sadness of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, when he said these words.

However, for the sake of the great man's world, and to repay Emperor Xiaowu's kindness, Huo Guang will never regret it, nor will he soften his heart.

"My servant Huo Guang greets the Queen."

Huo Guang bowed down without hesitation, and the thin empress Shangguan raised her head slightly, and said two words without emotion: "Pingshen."

"promise."

Huo Guang stood up straight, but he didn't go to the couch reserved for him and sit down. Instead, he turned around and looked at the people around him slowly, like a mountain, exerting coercion on on everyone.

"The Son of Heaven is on the way, the world is mourning, the old ministers are also sad, and the princes are also sad."

Huo Guang spoke slowly, while observing the expressions of everyone, he suddenly raised his voice: "Everyone thinks, who can preside over the funeral of the Emperor Daxing, who can enshrine the ancestral temple, and who can inherit the great line."

Huo Guang asked three questions, but it was actually another question.

When everyone is here, it's time to get down to business, and everyone's expressions change.

Soon, a person a few years younger than Huo Guang stepped forward.

"According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, the emperor of Daxing has no heirs, and Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is actually the best candidate to enshrine the ancestral temple."

Huo Guang frowned, feeling displeased.
