Chapter 516 Those who obey His Majesty's orders are on the left!

Huo Guang is not a fool!

Of course he understood what Luo Qing meant, which was to resist directly!

Huo Guang had never thought so before. He had served Liu Xun for so many years and had a natural awe of imperial power. He always felt that there was no way to compete with Liu He before he made a big mistake.

The brave warriors escorted the three men away. In the carriage, Huo Guang asked in a deep voice, "Cousin, what you just said is what I guessed?"

Liu Xiang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "Zimeng, Gongzi Qing is right, we cannot leave Chang'an, we must fight Liu He to the death here.

Your Majesty is the wise ruler of the Han Dynasty. The fact that he tried so hard to prevent Liu He from ascending the throne shows that Liu He was indeed not suitable to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

I was originally a commoner, and was able to become one of the Three Dukes because of your Majesty's selection. Now I should obey your Majesty's wishes and support Prince She.

Besides, I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. If I watch Liu He ruin the Han Dynasty, will I have the face to meet Emperor Gaozu a hundred years later?"

When the position of prime minister was vacant in the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang, the chief censor, was the highest leader of the civil service. Moreover, he was a relative of the Han royal family, had held a high position of power for many years and had considerable influence.

Huo Guang took a deep breath, his lips dry, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's kindness to me is too great for me to repay, so I can only use my life to create a glorious future for Prince Shebo.

Cousin, Zi Zheng, if we want to launch a coup, what forces can we use?

well.

Liu He has a righteous cause in his hands, but the people's hearts and minds are not on our side.

If you have an imperial edict in your hand, with your majesty's prestige, a mere Liu He can suppress the rebellion overnight."

Luo Qing didn't expect that Huo Guang was still thinking about following the rules when the coup took place.

He immediately shouted, "Zi Meng, you are wrong, justice is on our side.

Although His Majesty the Emperor has not yet officially issued an edict to depose the Crown Prince, nor has He appointed Prince She as the Crown Prince, just ask the world, the people of Chang'an, and even the military and ministers, who does not know that His Majesty favors Prince She?

Who doesn't know that Your Majesty wants to depose Liu He?

The painting of "King Luo Wen Carrying Emperor Xiao Wen to Meet the Princes" that His Majesty gave you is the imperial edict!

You only need to raise your arms and say that Liu He was resentful because he was deposed as the crown prince, and he is plotting a rebellion. He is taking advantage of Your Majesty's serious illness to control the court and even intends to harm Your Majesty in order to achieve his conspiracy to inherit the throne.

All the ministers and people who are loyal to Your Majesty will definitely follow you!

Never underestimate the power of the human heart.

This is how the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty led to the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

This was still the case when the princes of Guandong quelled the rebellion in the past.

Your Majesty has been the Emperor for twenty years and has bestowed many favors. There are countless ministers and common people like you and Duke Zi Zheng who want to repay his kindness.

Your Majesty is on our side, how can you say that you have no moral purpose?"

Luo Qing's words were like enlightenment to Huo Guang, awakening him instantly.

Not to mention that Liu He was just a prince, so what even if he was the emperor?

There are also gaps between emperors!

Huo Guang reacted and said immediately: "Liu He has occupied the palace now, but Prince She has been sent out, so there is no need to worry about him being killed by Liu He.

The key lies in the Yulin Orphans, the Six Counties Warriors and the Three Rivers Knights. These three armies must support us, otherwise we will be defeated in the end."

The Three Rivers and Six Counties, the Royal Guards, the pride of the Han Dynasty, the ultimate dream of all ordinary soldiers, and also the most loyal to the royal family.

Liu Xiang frowned slightly and said, "The armies of the Three Rivers and Six Commanderies and the Royal Guards only recognize military tokens and not people. Unless Your Majesty comes forward in person, we probably can't control them.

Prince She is still too young, and I am worried that they will not be willing to follow such a young king."

Liu She’s age is indeed a problem. The concept of a country relying on its eldest son is deeply engraved in everyone’s mind. Ask yourself, who would take a child of a few years old seriously?

Luo Qing touched the holy mark on his forehead and said firmly: "He is just a young lord. King Kang of Zhou, King Zhao of Zhou, King Yi of Zhou, Emperor Xiaowen, which one of them was not a young lord? Which one of them did not achieve prosperity in the end?

The younger the ruler is, the brighter his future is. How to teach the young ruler in the future depends entirely on the ministers, who should teach him to become a king who values ​​friendship and gratitude.

Not only can your own generation become rich, but it can also bless the next generation with wealth. It is really a win-win situation.

Where is Liu He?

He was mean and ungrateful, treated his subjects with no respect, and was even so reckless as to kill the daughter of one of his own subjects. Is such a king worthy of loyalty?

Comparing the two, Zimeng and Zizhenggong, do you still think the young master has shortcomings?"

Liu Xiang was stunned when he heard this. My goodness, these four people you mentioned were all assisted by your Luo family, right?

The advantages of the young ruler, a king can protect two or three generations, how come we can't think of such a unique train of thought?

You don't say it, you really don't say it, but when Liu Xiang and Huo Guang thought about it, they really thought that using this to convince those wavering ministers might have a miraculous effect.

Is this the experience of the Luo family in assisting the young master?

After thinking it through one by one, Huo Guang immediately said: "Liu He will definitely contact the Three Rivers and Six Commanderies and the Royal Guards. We must speed up."

Liu Xiang's face flashed with some cruelty, and he said in a deep voice: "I have been in the court for many years. I can open the prison in Chang'an City and arm those prisoners. As long as there are enough supervising officers, it will be a considerable force."

Huo Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "No.

The prisoners in jail are a group of unstable elements. They cannot be allowed to go to the palace. If they disturb the nobles in the palace, the situation will become disastrous.

If any army disobeys our orders, we will let these prisoners fight. It doesn’t matter if they all die. If they can survive, they will be pardoned except for unforgivable crimes.”

Among the three-man gang, Huo Guang was the obvious decision maker.

He was the first minister appointed by Emperor Liu Xun to assist Liu She in the future. Luo Qing participated in this coup entirely because he felt the threat posed by Liu He to the Luo family. An emperor who was self-centered and arrogant posed too great a threat to the Luo family.

Moreover, Liu He was not a fool. He was a man who was quite good at playing political games. The Luo family already had many enemies. If they were to face such a dangerous emperor, they would definitely suffer huge losses.

The resources represented by the power of the Han emperor are beyond the ability of the Zhao Kingdom to resist. Without using its foundation, the outcome is still uncertain.

So now that there is a great opportunity and it is righteous, killing him is of course the most important thing.

The three of them discussed the details again, and then went off to do what they were supposed to do.

The brave warriors under Luo Qing also had to change their appearance and could not be directly used to participate in this coup. Fortunately, with Liu Xiang, the imperial censor, and Huo Guang, the emperor's close minister, it was not difficult to obtain hundreds of sets of standard equipment of the Han army.

With the change of armor and weapons, and since these brave warriors have no holy marks on their foreheads, no one will know their identities.

Luo Qing felt it was a pity that he was the only one in Chang'an City who did not have a Han title.

If his father, Duke Zhao, were here, three thousand brave warriors in full armor would be enough to accomplish any major task.

If Wushuang Hou Luo Lan were here, he could bring hundreds of soldiers with him openly.

If Marquis Ying were here, he would also have hundreds of private troops at his disposal.

These people all have titles, so they don't need to use some troops and hide their heads and tails like I do.

Huo Guang's identity was very useful in contacting these generals, as he was the grandson of Marquis Jing Huan.

Although he did not inherit the title of Marquis of Champion, his connections and reputation can still be of use.

Especially in the Royal Guards, Huo Qubing once led the Royal Guards to war and left countless legends in this army.

The elite soldiers from the six counties generally had a bad impression of Liu He. After all, they were from Guanzhong and knew very well what kind of person this prince was.

Huo Guang found that the effect of the contact was very good. There was a subconscious thought in these people's minds that the current crown prince was Liu She, and he, Huo Guang, was the future first regent appointed by the emperor.

Just as Luo Qing expected, although Liu He had not been deposed yet, he had already been deposed in the hearts of the people!

Compared with the official Crown Prince Liu He, Liu She's legitimacy and succession order are not weaker at all.

Liu He was busy recruiting the palace guards, while Huo Guang and others were busy connecting with the imperial guards of the central court. Huo Guang probably knew what Liu He was doing, but Liu He didn't know that Huo Guang was actually learning from him and was determined to start a fight with him.

Huo Guang's residence.

All the leading figures of this incident were here. Liu She looked at these armored men with some fear.

Huo Guang glanced at Liu She, then knelt on one knee in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please remember these warriors, we are going to take back the supreme throne for you.

Please follow us, we cannot do this without seeing His Majesty."

Liu She was a little scared, but he still got up from his aunt, Huo Guang's wife, and said in a baby voice, "She'er is not afraid. I am willing to go with my uncle."

Huo Guang's wife said to him distressedly: "My dear, you must protect She'er."

Huo Guang picked up Liu She and looked at the deep darkness outside. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, when She'er comes back, he will be the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, an unshakable crown prince."

The generals marched forward and fought their way to the outside of the imperial palace.

Huo Guang was riding on his horse and saw the soldiers guarding the palace. He said proudly: "My fellow soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the ancestral temple and the country are on our shoulders.

Your Majesty wanted to make Prince She the Crown Prince, but the thief Liu He occupied the palace.

We are all loyal subjects of your Majesty. Can we sit idly by and watch Prince She's throne be usurped by that rebellious villain in the palace?

I, Huo Guang, respectfully accept Your Majesty's order and wholeheartedly support Prince She. People all over the world know Your Majesty's wish and follow me. Do you want to go against the people of the world?

Those who are willing to obey your majesty's order, show us your left arm, and those who are willing to follow the thief Liu He, show us your right arm."

————

When the emperor was seriously ill, Crown Prince He plotted to isolate the emperor from the outside world, and neither the emperor nor Prince She was allowed to see the emperor. Guang disobeyed the emperor's order and was furious, so he made twelve loyal and upright people his friends.

When the army reached the palace gate, Guang said to the soldiers, "We are following the emperor's order to stabilize the country and report to your majesty. Those who are loyal to your majesty should stand on the left, and those who are loyal to Liu He should stand on the right."

All the soldiers in the army supported Xiaoxuan, so General Guang quickly rushed into the palace.

The soldiers in the imperial palace are sharp, the imperial city is strong, and the prince’s power is sophisticated.

However, once the two armies clash, the winner is decided, which is something the ignorant people find strange.

In a nutshell: The general trend of people's hearts is vast and unstoppable. Those who follow it will prosper, while those who go against it will perish. Guang fulfilled his great mission and followed the will of heaven, so he achieved success. - "Book of Han: Biography of Marquis Bowang"
