I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 88 The Rebellion of Shangguan Empress (for further reading)
The next day, all the officials and officials who "parted unhappy" the day before gathered again in Jiaofangdian.

It's just that Huo Guang was not late today, but was the first to arrive in the Jiaofang Hall and sat on his own couch.

Empress Shangguan still sat on the first seat with a mournful expression on her face.

Just like the day before, everyone looked different, as if each had their own ghosts.

"Yesterday, in the hall, we had already discussed the candidates for the succession of the Great Reign, and many of them were the first to promote Ling Wangxu."

"Actually, not only the princes, but the Shangshu Office received a lot of memorials yesterday, and many people promoted Ling Wangxu to inherit the Great Reign."

Huo Guang spoke unhurriedly, holding the memorabilia written by the unknown Lang Guan in his left hand, and knocking on the desk with his right hand.

His gaze swam back and forth in front of those clansmen, as if looking for some signs.

Zongzheng Liu De, Liang Wang Liu Dingguo, Hejian Wang Liu Qing, Si Suiling Marquis Liu Guangguo and others all had happy faces.

On the other side, Yang Chang, Cai Yi, Zhang Anshi and others were no longer as indifferent as they were the day before, and seemed eager to try.

"Father dies, son succeeds, brother ends up with younger brother, which conforms to the patriarchal law of my big man."

When Huo Guang said this, Liu De raised his head, as if he had heard good news.

Hmph, the big man's sky still can't change color, Huo Guang secretly smiled.

He didn't continue to speak, but stood up and raised the "weapon" in his hand.

"However, King Guangling has no virtue and cannot inherit the great rule!"

These words resounded loudly, and those clan members who thought they had a sure chance of winning immediately turned ashes.

Huo Guang didn't give them a chance to refute, and handed Yang Chang the scroll in his hand.

"Mr. Yang, please read the memorabilia written by this official Lang."

"promise."

Yang Chang slowly opened the playing book, and began to read.

"King Tai of Zhou abolished Taibo and set up Wangji, and King Wen of Shebo established King Wu. It is only appropriate. Although Changchang is abolished, it is not necessary to establish a few, but King Guangling has no virtue. When Emperor Xiaowu was here, it was too much to say about King Guangling. ...The king of Guangling cannot inherit the ancestral temple."

Yang Chang's voice became louder and faster.

And Liu De and other clan members naturally looked more and more ugly.

The memorandum written by this unknown Lang official made it very clear: Emperor Xiaowu said more than once that King Guangling's behavior was excessive, so even though he was the only surviving son of Emperor Xiaowu, he should not inherit the throne.

The memorial was not long, and Yang Chang finished reading it in a short while.

After Yang Chang finished reading, he handed over the memorial to Cai Yi, the imperial historian beside him.

He is quite gracious in his gestures, compared with the submissive look yesterday, he is a different person.

"What this official Lang said is very true. He is more sober than the old man. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I will do something against Emperor Xiaowu. I really regret it."

"What the prime minister said is very true. The king of Guangling has no virtue, and he and Wang Dan of Yan are brothers of the same mother. I am afraid it is not appropriate to let him inherit the great line." The memorial has not yet been passed to Zhang Anshi, but he has already stood up. Team up.

The faces of all the clan members turned blue and white. Some people wanted to refute, but they still didn't dare to stand up under Huo Guangwei's non-angry gaze.

After the memorial has been passed around for a round in the hands of the princes, the overall situation has been decided.

In a few words, Liu Xu, King of Guangling, had no fate with this Weiyang Palace.

"Since all the lords think that Guangling Wang Xu is not suitable to inherit the great lineage, then I will propose a candidate for your reference."

Everyone immediately sat up straight.

"Ms. Li is the only concubine of Emperor Xiaowu who was buried in Maoling. Although she is a concubine, she deserves the sacrifice of the empress. When Emperor Xiaowu asked her to leave her alone, she specifically asked this old man to treat Mrs. Li kindly."

"Mrs. Li has only one son, and it is the old mourning king of Changyi, who was deeply loved by Emperor Xiaowu when he was alive. Emperor Xiaowu once said, 'The son should be placed in the land of Qilu, so as to influence his etiquette, and placed in the land of Yanzhao. , the heart of fighting for power'."

"Although the mourning king Mao of Changyi died early, his son Wang He of Changyi was in his prime. He was intelligent and grew up in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. He was taught by a group of Confucian scholars, so he must be very polite."

Huo Guang spoke slowly, but without a trace of stagnation.

"In my opinion, Heyi, the king of Changyi, is the heir to the Daxing Emperor, inheriting the Datong, and presiding over the funeral of the Daxing Emperor."

"The old man has said everything, who agrees, who disagrees?"

Changyi King Liu He?
Everyone thought of this naughty boy.

Everyone remembers that his conduct doesn't seem to be correct.

But everyone can see that this is the general's final decision, so who can object?

Even those clan members dared not speak anymore when they saw that the overall situation was settled.

Huo Guang stroked his beautiful beard, and nodded expressionlessly.

However, at this moment, a crisp voice resounded in the hall.

"The Ai family disagrees with Changyi Wang He being the heir to the Daxing Emperor."

Huo Guang and the others turned their heads away, and saw the thin empress Shangguan standing up at some point.

Perhaps from fear, perhaps from grief, her whole body was shaking.

Everyone dared not speak, even Yang Chang and Zhang Anshi sat back.

In the final analysis, this is the general's family business after all, and it is not wise for outsiders like them to offend any side.

"Huh? What's the queen's objection?" Huo Guang asked doubtfully and dissatisfied.

"Liu He, the king of Changyi, is 19 years old this year, and Ai's family is only as young as Ji. Isn't it absurd that the son is older than the mother, and how does the historian record it?"

Empress Shangguan's few words aroused everyone's discussion, and even some dejected clan members raised their heads and looked at Huo Guang provocatively and mockingly.

It is impossible for the little mayfly like Empress Shangguan to shake the big tree Huo Guang, but why not do it if she can see the jokes.

Huo Guang looked at Empress Shangguan with a livid face, and didn't speak for a moment.

At this time, Cai Yi, the imperial historian who had never had a chance to speak, stood up.

He was nearly seventy years old, and because he was good at composing poems, he was recommended by Huo Guang to the Daxing Emperor.

He has successively served as Taichang and Shaofu, and is now one of the three lords.

Although the rank is very high, but he is old, so he is eager to make a contribution to the establishment of an heir, so that the new king and the general will remember their Cai family.

"Ahem, this matter is not difficult," Cai Yi said: "But in the genealogy, the queen's age is changed to be 12 years older, and the age of Changyi king is changed to be five years younger, the problem will be solved by itself."

This method is a bit perfunctory, but the so-called righteous name is nothing more than a righteous name.

Huo Guang didn't look at Cai Yi, but calmly asked Shangguan Empress, "What objection does Empress have?"

The thin figure of Empress Shangguan was even more fluttering in front of Huo Guang. Her face was pale and her lips had lost all color. After shaking her body, she slumped on the couch and shook her head silently.

This is already the bravest resistance of this weak woman against Huo Guang.

Huo Guang didn't care about this. He turned around and said word by word: "Wang He of Changyi is extremely intelligent and virtuous in the world. The queen has a decree. Wang He of Xuanchangyi will be the heir of the emperor, and he will be the emperor immediately. Go to Beijing to preside over the funeral."

"No!" All the officials bowed.
