"Chase!"

Huo Guang only thought that this man was an accomplice of King Guangling, but he did not see the fleeting smile on Liu He's fat face behind him.

Huo Guang's troops were the elite of the Han Dynasty, almost the prototype of special forces. There were many martial arts masters among them. However, what surprised Huo Guang was that after an hour passed, his men returned empty-handed.

King Guangling ran away?

Huo Guang frowned and saw Liu He on the side also had a sad face, so he had to say:

"Your Majesty, this King of Guangling is so bold that he actually intends to assassinate Your Majesty. It is an unpardonable crime! Now he is running away. I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to remove him from the throne, demote him to a common people, and arrest him nationwide. His family members will be exiled and punished as slaves for other crimes."

Hate! So cruel!

In this era, there is no difference between banishing and punishing slaves and directly killing them.

This Huo Guang is really a ruthless character. If he doesn't take action, he will act vigorously and resolutely. King Guangling did not do things well, which was expected by him.

Huo Guang's subsequent decision was also straightforward.

Although King Guangling had no actual evidence to prove that Huo Guang instigated this matter, staying there would be a hidden danger after all.

What's more, Huo Guang had some issues with him for a long time.

Liu He was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Everything will naturally be decided by the general."

Huo Guang was very satisfied with Liu He's answer. What he wanted was such obedience. Liu He's surrendering attitude made him feel a little comfortable, but the only thing that worried him was the absconding King of Guangling.

"Your Majesty, the time has passed since we called for this delay today. I am afraid that the lawsuit to the temple will have to be postponed again." The minister of Honglu Temple came forward to ask for instructions.

He naturally received Huo Guang's instructions. If King Guangling could delay this period of time, he would have achieved his goal.

The time to report to the temple has passed, and the next zodiac auspicious day will be a month later.

Many things may happen during this month.

He naturally knew Huo Guang's wishful thinking.

And this month is the real test.

Liu He couldn't fall out with Huo Guang because the time was not yet ripe. But he was fully prepared. Huo Guang asked people to assassinate him, which was to give him a handle.

"General, what do you think?" Liu He asked submissively.

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, since the temple officials have said so, why not just wait until a few months later and come back to the temple to complain. Your Majesty will be enthroned tomorrow to govern."

Liu He was also stunned, looking around, looking embarrassed.

After a while, he waved his hand and asked everyone to step back. Only himself and Huo Guang were left here. He just opened his mouth and said shyly:

"General, in running the government, we need a lot of help from the general. I really don't have much experience..."

Liu He's completely unassuming way of speaking made Huo Guang feel both contempt and relief.

Maybe Liu He really didn't have any ambitions. After all, the emperor meant a sudden fortune to him.

But this is fine, as it suits Huo Guang's taste.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare." Huo Guang declined with false affection.

The two acted for each other, and in the end, Huo Guang accepted Liu He's request with embarrassment.

The next day, in the court hall.

Liu He wore the black-and-gold dragon robe of the Han emperor and the emperor's crown on his head. He walked on the emperor's road and slowly walked up to the throne of the emperor.

The other ministers were displayed on both sides and did not kneel down, but only bowed from a distance.

The first thing Liu He did when he sat down was to instruct the eunuch to give Huo Guang a seat. This move was noticed by everyone in the court.

Huo Guang's party members were even more proud, as if they were the ones who were given the throne by the emperor.

"The general's hard work has yielded great results. As I ascend the throne, all major affairs in the DPRK will be handled by the general..."

Huo Guang didn't expect this imperial edict to ascend the throne.

Most of the imperial edict listed by Liu He listed Huo Guang's contributions. In the final highlight, he directly made Huo Guang a super official!

He was originally a great general, a great Sima, and had already been a very popular minister, but one thing he had never thought about was to be crowned king!

Originally, being a marquis was already an extremely honorable matter.

But whether Liu He was confused or intentional, he directly nominated Huo Guang for the title of king!

Huo Guang was so scared!

You know, since the founding of the Han dynasty, even Han Xin and Xiao He, who followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world, were only granted the title of marquis. Title of king? This is a treatment only given to the royal family with the surname Liu.

Huo Guang had no time to refuse, as the imperial edict came again.

"I am alone in governing the country and have no master in my harem. I heard that the daughter of the Grand Sima is in her prime, virtuous and virtuous. I want to be my queen. Isn't that okay?"

This imperial edict is simple and crude, with one purpose: to lift Huo Guang to the sky!

First, he made him a king, and then he said bluntly, I want you to be my father-in-law!

When Emperor Wu favored Wei Zifu, Wei Qing was nothing more than his brother-in-law. Now Liu He actually asked Huo Guang to be his "father"?

Even Huo Guang's city couldn't withstand the temptation.

Without him, the bait Liu He threw out was too tempting. Although he believed that he was single-mindedly serving the Han Dynasty, these things were what any minister could only dream of, and were the highest praise for their achievements.

To accept or not to accept?

Huo Guang was in a dilemma.

The party members behind him became excited.

These ministers all said that Mr. Huo deserved his hard work and merit.

Liu He looked at them with a smile and remembered these ministers one by one.

In the end, the result of this first political event after Liu He ascended the throne was that Huo Guang's daughter, Huo Chengjun, was married by Liu He as the queen. Huo Guang himself rejected the offer of becoming a king and only accepted the position of a marquis.

Even so, it brought the Huo family to an unprecedented height.

The next day, there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate the Huo family. Two-thirds of the ministers in the court were actually members of the Huo family.

The only remaining third is mostly made up of eunuchs and remnants of the rear party who have not been cleaned up.

Liu He, on the other hand, needs to select trustworthy people among these people and train them as his confidants.

"Has the list been sorted out?"

In the harem, Liu He asked the maid beside him.

This palace maid is his assistant and the female spy leader he trained.

Dongmei nodded and said calmly: "Master, the list has been compiled. The criminal evidence of many ministers of the Huo family's party has been mastered."

Liu He nodded, "Did you bring that person back?"

Dongmei nodded: "Don't worry, Master, the arrangements have been made."

"good!"

Liu He smiled slightly, "With this person in our hands, our chances of winning are even greater. I'm really sleepy and I'll give you a pillow."

Dongmei said yes, and then asked: "Master, I just don't understand why the master wants to deal with him and reward him heavily. Doesn't it make the enemy bigger?"
Chapter completed!
