The severely damaged Huo family army died at the hands of the reinforcements brought by Zhao Xu. Only Huo Wuzhi escaped by chance and was captured by the Northern Di, which is why he is still alive today.
But when this matter was reported back to Huajing, it was said that the Huo family father and son failed to lead the troops effectively, which led to the annihilation of the entire army. However, Zhao Xu suddenly turned himself into a hero who turned the tide and became one of the important officials...
…
After hearing this, Huo Wuyou felt his blood run cold. He had never imagined that the truth would be like this...
After an unknown amount of time, he managed to utter a few words, "But... I've seen that imperial edict. It wasn't delivered to Yueling Pass, and it was a forged edict! The seal marks on it and the patterns on the silk are all missing..."
"No." Huo Wuji refuted firmly: "That imperial edict was indeed delivered to Yueling Pass, and it was written by His Majesty himself. I saw it with my own eyes."
Huo Wuyou's eyes wandered, and he asked in confusion: "How come there are two imperial edicts..."
Suddenly, his breathing stopped... Perhaps, there is another possibility.
"Both the true and false imperial edicts were originally issued by Your Majesty. As long as the true one is destroyed, only the false one will remain in the world... There is no impenetrable wall. Once the Yueling Pass tragedy is uncovered, as long as the false imperial edict still exists, then everything can be explained as Zhao Xu forging the imperial edict and murdering his colleagues. This has nothing to do with Your Majesty, and history books will not bear such a bad name for him."
He suddenly smiled sarcastically: No wonder Zhao Xu was poisoned and silenced, and showed such an expression at that time. It seemed that he realized that he had become the emperor's abandoned son. However, once he told Huo Wuyou the truth, it would not be the execution of his entire family. For slandering the emperor, his entire clan would be in danger, so he did not reveal a word until his death!
Huo Wuyou gritted his teeth and said, "Our emperor, our dear uncle, has never changed!"
He was already the emperor, who could he not kill? Yet, he refused to take even the slightest risk. What he had done was clearly so filthy, yet he refused to bear even the slightest infamy! This was true not only for them, but also for his own two sons.
"Brother..." Huo Wuyou was a little excited, and his throat choked with sobs: "Why do you say that? Why is the Huo family so unacceptable to him?"
"Because he once killed his father to seize the throne, and my father knew about it and held military power. He was extremely afraid that one day my father would gather his own troops and use this as an excuse to depose the emperor and establish another one to seize power as regent. He has always regarded the Huo family as a thorn in his side. My father thought that as long as he was loyal to him, he could save the Huo family, but in the end he could not dispel his suspicion..." Huo Wuzhi said calmly.
After hearing this, Huo Wuyou was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly he couldn't help laughing, until tears came out of his eyes. "Full of suspicion, narrow-minded, judging others by his own standards, selfish and hypocritical, even more so seeking fame and reputation, daring to do things but not to take responsibility... Such a beastly bastard, actually is the emperor who controls the lives of so many people? He is actually the emperor? How ridiculous!"
