Han soldiers have captured the territory

As soon as Huo Guang said this, the emperor instantly became dissatisfied.

The emperor is now getting older and the city is getting deeper. Although he is dissatisfied, a smile appears on his face.

He already understood from Huo Guang's words that Huo Guang would not agree to attack the Western Regions at this time, so he did not intend to mention the matter of dealing with the Western Regions again.

"What the general said is true. Marquis Yunyang has been pioneering the Western Region for twenty years, and naturally he has become the main city of the country... I was just joking..."

Huo Guang also pretended to be confused and said, "Your Majesty, just understand!"

The emperor was even more unconvinced when he heard this, but he said: "The general taught me a lesson, and I have learned it!"

Huo Guang said nothing more, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please leave!"

The emperor said with a smile: "General, go slow!"

Huo Guang stood up and bowed before retreating out of the hall.

When he retreated to the entrance of the palace, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty is a dear and worthy minister far away from me..."

When the emperor heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "I am a virtuous minister and stay far away from a villain..."

When Huo Guang heard this, he sighed in his heart, shook his head and walked out of the palace.

After Huo Guang left, the emperor's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

The emperor suppressed his anger and returned to his palace. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Bang bang bang!"

The royal family smashed various items in their palace to pieces.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Does Huo Guang treat me as a foolish king?"

As soon as the emperor said this, the surrounding maids from the Little Yellow Gate were so frightened that they fell to their knees with a common cry.

Only then did the emperor notice that there were so many people following him.

"Where is the Zhonghuang Gate?"

The emperor asked in a calm tone

At this time, Xiao Huangmen, who was close to him, replied nervously: "Zhonghuangmen is outside the hall!"

The emperor nodded, "Call Zhonghuangmen in!"

promise

The little Huangmen immediately quickly backed out of the palace and called Zhonghuangmen to come forward.

Zhonghuangmen heard that the emperor summoned him and did not dare to neglect it. After asking about the situation, he immediately came to the palace with several guards.

"I pay my respects to your majesty. May your majesty live forever!"

The emperor nodded, "Get up!"

He bowed again at Zhonghuang Gate and said, "I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are for calling your servants here?"

The emperor looked around coldly, "What is the punishment for colluding with foreign countries?"

Zhong Huangmen said: "The punishment of cutting in two should be eliminated!"

The emperor nodded, "In this case, leave these people to your disposal!"

Zhonghuangmen was shocked when he heard this, but he immediately replied: "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"

The surrounding little Huangmen and palace maids were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

…

When word spread outside the palace that the emperor executed dozens of Huangmen and palace maids in one day, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the three nobles, nine ministers and the princes.

Especially after Bingji heard about this, he was even more heartbroken.

He did not expect that as he grew older, the emperor would become what he is now.

After some hesitation, Bingji ignored the persuasion of his family and rushed to Weiyang Palace.

When he learned that Bingji had entered the palace, the emperor frowned.

"Stop Bingji for me!"

"promise!"

…

Outside the emperor's palace, Zhonghuangmen led a group of guards to block Bingji's way.

"Mr. Bing, please come back!"

Bingji looked at Zhonghuangmen and others who were blocking the way and said, "You still won't get out of the way... I want to see the emperor..."

Zhonghuangmen chuckled and said: "Bing Gong, please come back. Your Majesty has ordered not to see anyone today..."

After hearing this, Bingji was about to draw his sword and rush in, when a familiar voice sounded.

“Mr. Bing, don’t be reckless!”

The person who came was none other than Zhang Anshi, the right general.

After Zhang Anshi heard that the emperor executed dozens of Huangmen and palace people in one day, he guessed that Bingji would definitely enter the palace.

He hurriedly and slowly finally stopped Bingji at the critical moment.

Interrupted by Zhang Anshi, Bingji calmed down again.

He looked in the direction of the palace, bowed and then followed Zhang Anshi out of the palace.

"Did Bingji leave?"

The emperor asked Zhonghuangmen, who came back to return his orders.

"Your Majesty, Duke Bing has followed the right general out of the palace..."

Hearing this, the emperor took a long breath and said, "It'll be good as soon as you leave the palace..."

At this time, the emperor also regretted his actions today.

Of course, what he regretted was not the execution of the palace people, but the fear of exposing his dissatisfaction with Huo Guang!

…

Bingji followed Zhang Anshi out of the palace, and then went to the library with Zhang Anshi.

Du Ling couldn't help but ask when he saw Bingji and Zhang Anshi.

"Is something big happening today?"

Ever since the emperor got close to virtuous literature again, Du Ling had been concentrating on studying knowledge and teaching students, and he was indifferent to the affairs of the outside world.

After Bingji sighed, he told Du Ling what happened today in detail.

After Du Ling heard this, he didn't say a word, but silently led the two of them to the lake pavilion behind the library.

At this time, Du Lingcai said to Bingji while making tea: "Your Majesty is no longer the same as before!"

Hearing this, Bingji looked in the direction of Weiyang Palace and sighed: "What Duke Du said is true, the emperor has grown up..."

Zhang Anshi also had a look of worry on his face at this time. He lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty is now close to the people in Guandong... The general will return the great government the next day... I am afraid that the great man's hundred years of hard work will be in vain..."

Du Ling shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang is worrying too much. Your Majesty is a smart man, and virtuous literature is just your Majesty's tool..."

Hearing this, Bingji suddenly realized: "What Du Gong means is that the emperor just wants to use virtuous literature to seize power?"

Du Ling said: "Yes, although the emperor hides it well on weekdays, he is also a man who loves great achievements..."

"From Yiling's perspective, the emperor's goal is to surpass the previous emperor!"

Zhang Anshi recalled the emperor's daily words and deeds and nodded slowly.

"Du Gong is still known as a wise man, but if this happens, Chang'an may never have peace!"

Bingji thought for a while and then said: "So the emperor's intention to target the Marquis of Yunyang is actually to provoke a dispute between the general and the Marquis of Yunyang!"

Du Ling nodded seriously: "Looking at the mausoleum, it is exactly like this...virtuous literature is a knife in the emperor's hand..."

Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "The sword of virtuous literature is difficult to control. If it is not done well, I am afraid it will cause the Han Dynasty to overthrow!"

Bingji said in surprise: "I'm afraid a mere virtuous literature is not so powerful!"

Du Ling shook his head and said: "Gong Bing despises virtuous literature too much... Behind them, they have the support of the entire Guandong powerful..."

"The former emperor had the prestige to forcibly move powerful people into Maoling to weaken their power..."

"Bing Gong thinks that if the emperor borrows the power of virtuous literature to seize power...does he still suppress the powerful?"

After Bingji thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel sweat dripping down his back.

"If local powerful forces seize power, the Han Dynasty will be in danger..."
