Two and a half minutes before sunrise, water leaked from daylight, and the sky had turned white, and the gate of the front hall finally opened.

The Prime Minister, Censor, and Jiuqing, who were qualified to participate in the final decision, walked out one after another. Chang Hui saw that Su Wu's face was not very good, so she moved to him: "Duke Su..."

"The person who entered the capital to mourn was the King of Changyi."

Su Wu knew what Chang Hui wanted to ask, so he told him the answer directly. In a short while, the matter would be announced in the situation of the edict, and all officials knew about it.

"It's really him!" Chang Hui secretly admired him. He turned around and looked for him, but he didn't see Ren Hong. He was a person who could keep secrets for others and did not reveal Ren Hong.

Su Wu was complicated about this candidate. He supported Guangling King Liu Xu, who was completely out of public interest, but was rejected by the general. Just now, his party members, Hatan Guangming, Tian Yannian and others proposed that Empress Xiaowu's legitimate grandson and King Changyi He could inherit the throne.

Everyone who was not the direct descendant of Huo was surprised, and then Zhang Anshi immediately agreed. Han Zeng hesitated for a while and agreed. The nine ministers all followed the wishes of the general, but Su Wu was silent and understood why Huo Guang abandoned Guangling and took Changyi.

"Similar things happened once more than a hundred years ago."

That was when the young emperor who was supported by Empress Lu was determined to be Xiaohui's son after quelling the rebellion of Zhulu, and he wanted to select a new emperor from the princes. The one who called the most popular at that time was naturally the Changsun of Emperor Gao, and the King of Qi Liu Xiang, who was the first to raise an army in the execution of Lu.

Liu Xiang himself felt so.

However, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and other founding marquis did not like Liu Xiang, and the excuse was that his mother's uncle was evil and might repeat the mistake of the Lü family's autocracy. In fact, he was afraid of the powerful military force of Qi. If the King of Qi entered Chang'an and his brothers Zhu Xu Marquis Liu Zhang and others assisted, what would happen to the marquis of military achievements?

Therefore, the oldest Dai king Liu Heng, among the alive sons of Emperor Gao, naturally looked at his mother's family and weak national strength. After entering the court, he should be able to let Lihou mercy: "If you are good people, the ministers will be at peace."

Although it turns out that they underestimated the Dai Wang.

Back then, he gave up the eldest grandson and established the son of Emperor Gao, and today he gave up the son of Xiaowu, King Guangling, and established the legitimate grandson of "Empress Xiaowu". Although the etiquette and law are reasonable, it is not because the young King Changyi succeeded the throne, which made the general more at ease than King Guangling, and could continue to gain power.

Su Wu thought about it carefully. If King Guangling succeeded to the throne, he would have a conflict with the general, which would delay national affairs even more.

Whether it was beneficial to the Han Dynasty, as long as it was beneficial to the Han Dynasty, he finally agreed with this proposal and passed it unanimously, and everyone was happy.

It was getting brighter, and has this dark and long night finally passed?

No, not yet, the sun that emerged from the horizon was still covered by a thick layer of Wusun, and could not see through the light.

Su Wu murmured: "There is a way in the world, and then rituals and music will come out of the emperor."

Long-term dictatorship of powerful officials is not a solution. Now that the throne has been settled, although I don’t know much about King Changyi and cannot judge whether he is wise or wise, Su Wu still has a faint expectation and extravagant desire in his heart.

"I just hope that King Changyi will become the second emperor Xiaowen!"

...

In the front hall, Huo Guang, who had not been asleep for a night, was a little tired and busy all night. Now the major event has been settled, but he has been tense for a day and still dared not relax.

The general is a good chess player. He can take ten steps at one step. Although he cannot fully predict the future, no matter what happens, he is ready.

For example, in the second year of Zhenghe, in order to show Emperor Xiaowu that he would never do anything to overturn the verdict and deny his intention to conquer decades of conquest, Huo Guang carefully proposed to use Mrs. Li as Empress Xiaowu.

This act of actively cutting off relations with the Wei family's relatives won Huo Guang's trust and gave Huo Guang the picture of Zhou Gong becoming a king. This matter also became a trick of leisure. Today, the emperor suddenly died, which came in handy.

Huo Guang's bottom line is that King Guangling will never succeed the throne. Compared with this, King He of Changyi is obviously a better choice and can also break the rumors that are destined to be circulated throughout the world.

When things got to this point, Huo Guang's gangsters did not dare to be careless, and Tian Yannian whispered:

"Although the general decided to let the Lord of Changyi be mourned, he must be careful. After all, the King of Changyi was a vassal for more than ten years. When he entered the court, the old ministers of the vassal palaces must follow him. Just as Xiaowen came to Chang'an, Bo Zhao, Zhang Wu, Song Chang and others accompanied him."

When Emperor Wen of Han first entered Chang'an, thanks to the assistance of these old officials in the residence, he stood firm in the Weiyang Palace, and then slowly began to deal with Zhou Bo and Chen Ping.

Unlike the Daxing Emperor who was firmly monitored by Huo Guang and even reported to the general, the old ministers of King Changyi were huge in size and talented people. They could naturally gain the trust of the new king, which would be a force that cannot be ignored.

"What are the ministers in Changyi State?"

Huo Guang looked at the censor Cai Yi, and Cai Yi reported the list one by one.

"The Han system, the kingdom has one person, one lieutenant, the grand tutor, the inner tutor, and one person, all of which are two thousand stones, and there are also the ruling of the doctor, the young tutor, and the rank of thousands of stones."

"Anle was the official of the Northern Army during the witchcraft affairs, and was appointed as the chief lieutenant of the Guardian Army, and was promoted to the official position. In the fifth year of Shiyuan, he was appointed as the prime minister of Changyi, and he was in charge of all officials, and the general rules and regulations assisted the king."

"Wang Ji, a native of Langya, was appointed as the right prime minister of Ruolu County with filial and honesty. He was soon promoted to the magistrate of Yunyang County. Later, he was promoted to the magistrate of Yan and Iron. In the second year of Yuanfeng, he was the lieutenant of the King of Changyi, in charge of military positions and prepared thieves."

"The Order of the Langzhong Order Gong Sui was from Shanyang. He took Mingjing as an official. In the sixth year of Shiyuan, he went to Changyi's Order to protect his left and right."

According to the new rules of the Han Dynasty to manage the princes after the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the prime minister, lieutenant, and fu were not allowed to serve the country or assist the king. In fact, the power was in the inner history, and the ruler was like the prefect of the county and the chief lieutenant, and the power had the power to transfer officials and subordinates to Chang'an.

Therefore, in the early Han Dynasty, the prime minister of the kingdom often fell in love with the princes and kings, which was a high-risk profession. After the rebellion of the seven kings, the princes and kings were unable to rebel without real power, and the prime minister was not very responsible, so the relationship between the two sides became much more harmonious. However, the prime minister was directly appointed to Chang'an and also had the task of monitoring the princes and kings.

Cai Yi also mentioned one thing: "The young tutor of Changyi was Xiahou Sheng, and he was the doctor of Shangshu in the fifth year of Yuanfeng. He was dismissed from office due to the battle of Tianlei and returned to Changyi. At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to the young tutor by Changyi and taught the prince to learn calligraphy."

Changyi was originally the base camp of the Xiahou Shangshu School, and it was reasonable to go back. However, in this way, there were actually two people with Ren Hong who had a marriage with King Changyi?

Huo Guang knew it in his heart and found it interesting. Although he wanted to know the ministers of Changyi Qiandi, to be honest, if the master is not good, what is the use of the hawk or dog?

Of course, he chose Liu He, the King of Changyi, because of his "virtuous, filial and capable". Huo Guang had heard of two deeds of Liu He.

First, the King of Changyi lost his father at a young age and was served by the servants of Changyi. Therefore, he did not pay attention to the superiority and inferiority of his servants. He often used slaves to slaughter people to play with food, and also took generous actions and rewarded them with great rewards.

The second is that he did not like the Five Classics, but liked hunting very much. He expelled and ran into his fiefdom. He was reported by a Yanzhou governor who wanted to capture political achievements, saying that he was "unsuccessful in behavior."

Wait, isn’t this the same crime as King Guangling?

In Huo Guang's opinion, this is actually nothing. After Emperor Xiaowu became the emperor, he was still running horses, hunting and trampling on the farmlands of the people near Chang'an.

What Huo Guang liked the most was the report from the domestic history of Changyi and the Prime Minister Anle to the court, saying that Liu He was "clean and unlucky."

To put it bluntly, it's not smart enough.

Huo Guang needed such a person to be the "King of Kang". It's okay to eat, drink and have fun, and it's okay to like hunting. It's hanging from the south. Isn't the Zhengyou Huo family good?

After all, Huo Guang has served two of the wise emperors, and he is tired.

The general is always prepared for his work. Although he chose the King of Changyi in an emergency and knew his character, he still carefully tested it and realized that he was really crazy and was not good at hunting and having fun!

You must be careful, don’t you see that Zhou Bo and Chen Ping welcomed Xiaowen to Weiyang in the past, and he was interested in "The ministers will be relieved if they assist kind and kind people to succeed the throne."

Don't worry, fart!

He killed his first wife and four sons, who were born in the Lü family, and then began to provoke Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, and asked the marquis to divide them into two factions to defeat each other. In the end, he kicked Old Zhou out of Chang'an with the excuse of giving them the excuse of joining the country, and finally he even was imprisoned and humiliated by the minor officials.

Huo Guang didn't want to end like that, so he had to choose the people sent to welcome the King of Changyi to the court this time.

"Who were the people who came to Chang'an back then?"

The Taifu Du Yannian reported: "Dianke, Zongzheng, Taizhong Doctor, Zhonglang General."

Dianke is the current Dahonglu, who is responsible for the affairs of the princes, while Taizhong Dafu is the current Guanglu Dafu.

"Liu Ziyong, an official from the Great Honglu, and his subordinates, slandered the court and went to prison. Wei Xian failed to stop him and had voluntarily resigned. Zigong, you have been the Great Honglu, and you will temporarily take the initiative to take charge of your business. This time, you will be the main one for us to welcome Changyi into the court!"

Tian Guangming turned to his nostalgia, he was Huo Guang's confidant, an old minister and nine ministers, with outstanding military achievements, and he was the leader to take charge of the overall situation.

"If Doctor Guanglu says... let Bingji go."

Bingji was also a member of Huo Guang. He was from Lu, a Confucian scholar base, but he was a prisoner who studied law and order. After witchcraft, he was responsible for the prisoner's prison. Later, he was promoted to the General Chief Secretary. Huo Guang respected him very much. Not only did he let Bingji become the Guanglu doctor, but he also added him to the supervisor.

With the two close friends Bingji and Tian Guangming, the actions of Liu He and his ministers in the vassal palace were all transmitted to Huo Guang's ears in exactly the same way.

Needless to say, Zong Zheng Liu De, after Huo Guang weighed it, he was only one person who could test the power and character of King Changyi. This would be a key piece: on one side is an old minister of the vassal palace, and on the other side is a new nobleman in the court who had a grudge against him but was famous. How would King Changyi handle the relationship between the two sides?

After being beaten once by him, Huo Guang would see how the "Wei Huo" of the late emperor would behave in front of the new emperor.

After Huo Guang spoke out the candidate, Tian Yannian, Tian Guangming and others looked at each other.

"General, but he is not the General."

Huo Guang said lightly: "Now it's...has the jade seal been sent to the Empress Dowager?"

“Sent.”

The Emperor Gao's sword that killed the White Snake and the jade seal passed down from the Qin Dynasty were all crucial props when the New Emperor ascended the throne.

During this special period when the emperor died and the new emperor had not ascended the throne, they were kept by the Empress Dowager Shangguan. The power of the Han Dynasty actually fell into the hands of a girl who was only fifteen years old, although she was just Huo Guang's seal.

Huo Guang still remembers that when he was the first assistant to the young master, Emperor Xiaowu's coffin was parked in the front hall of Weiyang. One day, there was a strange thing in the hall, and the ministers were shocked overnight.

He then summoned the "Shang Fu Xilang" who was in charge of the jade seal and asked for the jade seal.

The Langguan refused to give the gift, and Huo Guang wanted to force him to take it. The Langguan pressed the sword and said, "You can get the head, but the seal cannot be obtained!"

After more than ten years, this statement is still loud and clear, which Huo Guang cannot forget for a long time.

Although Shang Fuxilang, who was promoted by Huo Guang, had no idea whether to go to a remote border county in the Han Dynasty to become a high-ranking official.

The ministers in the court were timid and no one could stand up and stop him from taking the seal.

Should Huo Guang be happy about this? But why did he feel endless sorrow and fatigue in his heart?

The general's mood suddenly became complicated, and he bowed his head to the emperor's coffin.

Not long after, an imperial edict was circulated from the Empress Dowager:

"Inheriting the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, he sent Zuo Fengyi to serve as the Grand Grand Lu service Tian Guangming, Zongzheng Liu De, Guanglu Dafu Bingji, Left Zhonglang General Ren Hong, welcomed the King of Changyi to enter the capital to celebrate the funeral!"
