It was dark, but the palace was brightly lit.
Liu He stood on the steps of the palace with his hands behind his hands, his eyes extremely dark.
"Your Highness, the rebels have broken through the palace gate. Not only the imperial army, but also some of the palace guards have joined them."
Looking at the bewildered ministers, Liu He shouted: "Why are you panicking?
The rebels have an army, don’t we?
Do you think that all the Custodes will follow them?
If the rebels were so sure, they wouldn't attack at night.
Hold on until dawn and put everything under Lang Lang Qiankun.
The military talisman and the jade seal are all in Gu Yu's hands, no matter the edict or the reward, they are all taken by Gu Yu. The traitor is nothing more than a prodigal dog!
Time is on the lonely side.
Pass down Gu's order, as long as he can hold on until dawn, Gu will not be stingy with rewards. He will be promoted to five levels. Gu will confer five titles to those with great merits. The rest of the gold, silver, cloth, and beauties will also be given to Gu. .
When Gu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, all the heroes were from Conglong. "
Liu He has a clear view of the current situation.
It was indeed beyond his expectation that Huo Guang and the others launched the attack so quickly, and being able to gather so many people was also beyond his imagination.
But the underlying rules of politics will not change.
The capital is a symbol for an empire, and the palace is also a symbol for a political force. How many times in history did you control the affairs of the world if you controlled the palace?
As long as he can firmly occupy the palace, as time goes by, he will gradually drift away in the hearts of people.
When the sun rose, he ordered the imperial army to send out troops with the talisman. With the identity of the prince and the talisman, who would dare not listen?
The generals who are now in chaos at night can indeed disobey orders.
But we cannot disobey orders in broad daylight and with the world clear.
You cannot disobey in front of all the people in Chang'an.
Liu He closed his eyes slightly and listened to the shouting and killing outside the palace wall. After all, he was still a little anxious. Everything was as he expected, but there was only one thing he was not sure of.
Can he wait until dawn?
Can the imperial guards in the palace, his prince's guards and the dead soldiers win a bright future for him?
Liu He didn't know.
But he was ready for everything, including death.
…
Luo Qing did not appear tonight. He simply disappeared. The historian will record in detail the people who participated in this great change tonight. Luo Qing does not want his name to be recorded.
Huo Guang and his brave warriors surrounded Liu She, and the soldiers fought fiercely, but Huo Guang's advantage was too great.
Liu She hid tightly in Huo Guang's arms.
Huo Guang was riding on his horse. There were scattered corpses everywhere on the ground. In front of him was the last gate to enter the palace. If he broke through this, he could see the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, can you still see me fulfill your will?"
Huo Guang took a deep breath, filled with the strong smell of blood.
"boom!"
The fierce killing lasted for more than an hour. In the end, Huo Guang's side won the victory, and the huge sound resounded in everyone's ears.
"The door is open!"
Huo Guang raised his eyes and looked at the wide open palace door. A trembling feeling instantly spread throughout his body. He couldn't help but gallop his horse forward and shouted loudly, "Soldiers, enter the palace to pay homage to His Majesty. "
Liu He knelt down in front of the palace with his eyes closed, waiting for fate to favor or abandon him.
"Your Highness, the palace door is broken."
The general covered in blood rushed over anxiously and reported the latest battle situation. Liu He opened his eyes suddenly and looked up at the star on the horizon. It was twinkling and dim, just like his current fate.
"Failed."
Liu He stood up silently and walked towards the Queen's Palace.
His father was still in a coma, and besides, he didn't want to see his father. The father and son were almost tired of seeing each other.
Before he died, he just wanted to see his mother, probably the only person in the world who truly loved him.
It would be better if there was no Liu She.
Liu He thought this way and walked outside the Queen's Palace. Although the palace was a bit chaotic tonight, there would naturally be no chaos in the Queen's Palace.
Xu Pingjun's face was a little pale. Looking at the flames and the sound of swords shouting for death, she knew that her two sons were fighting for their lives, and she felt like her heart was twisting.
"Mother."
Liu He walked into the palace, which was brightly lit and magnificent. He respectfully kowtowed to Xu Pingjun, and then said directly: "The rebels have entered the palace, and my son is probably going to die. I finally come to talk to you." , my son was born to you, there must be a way to say goodbye."
There was no fear in Liu He's words, but one sentence directly made Xu Pingjun burst into tears, crying: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?
If I had known today, why would I do it in the first place?
He'er, are you willing to leave the Central Plains far away?
I can save your life. "
Xu Pingjun's words are really not bragging. The emperor will give up when he sees her. She will be the supreme empress dowager. At least while she is alive, no one will dare to attack Liu He.
But who is Liu He? He wants to be a self-absorbed emperor, and it is impossible to live by accepting such charity.
So he smiled and shook his head and said: "No need for mother, losers should accept their own ending."
Xu Pingjun was about to say something when suddenly the sound of a large number of armors scraping together came from outside the palace, followed by several screams.
Liu He's expression changed, and the two looked at each other, knowing that Huo Guang and others were coming.
Liu He stood up and said, "Mother, my son, please go outside and take a look. Please sit here for a while."
After saying that, he turned around the screen and walked out. Xu Pingjun watched helplessly as the darkness swallowed up Liu He's figure.
You'll probably never see him again!
When Liu He walked out of the palace, the first thing he saw was Huo Guang. The servant who was groveling in front of him not long ago now came to him with a bloody soldier.
"If I had known, I should have killed you with one sword."
This was Liu He's first sentence, "I thought you would leave Chang'an, but I didn't expect you would make such a big bet.
Once you fail, not only you, but also the champion kingdom will bear Gu's wrath. "
The sharp sword in Huo Guang's hand was still dripping with blood. He held Liu She's little hand and chuckled at Liu He's words, "Your Majesty's kindness is too great, and I have to die in return.
Besides, you have lost the hearts of the people and the people have rejected you. You are destined to be defeated. Why don’t I resist? "
"People's hearts? People?"
When Liu He heard this word, he seemed to have heard something funny, and then there was a burst of wild laughter. He laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten up, and then he said intermittently: "Huo Guang, Huo Guang, you and Young Master Luo Having been together with Qing for so long, has it damaged your brain?
What is the human heart?
There are 40 million people in the world. How many of these 40 million people want to be a man?
If you ask those common people who struggle for food and clothing every day, they don't even know who Liu He and Liu She are.
Hey, hearts!
If the support of the people could determine the fate of the world, the Han Dynasty would have perished as early as the reign of the ruthless Emperor Liu Dan.
If the support of the people can determine the preservation of the ancestral temple, why is the Han Dynasty still so stable if there are still refugees in the world?
Huo Guang, today you support Liu She to ascend the throne, but Gu tells you that this is only the beginning.
There are two kinds of people in this world who are the most ungrateful, the emperor and the common people.
Kings are born to be ruthless and unjust, and people are born to hold grudges but not gratitude. "
Huo Guang's mind was firm, and besides, he didn't stand up for the people in the first place. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Liu He, since you see the world so clearly.
Why are you the one who is now a prisoner, while we loyal ministers and righteous men are standing here?
In this bright world, why is it always clear and clear? "
Liu He narrowed his eyes slightly, and an inexplicable meaning suddenly emitted from his body. His eyes looked far away, and then fell on the east, "Gu Jinjin has been thinking about why Gu lost.
There seems to be some problems in this world, Gu has been thinking about it.
As I kept thinking about it, I thought of King Zhaosheng practicing the Dharma and the prosperity of the Great Way of Righteousness.
Since then, the world seems to have been different.
During the Qin Dynasty, the Qin law was strict, so the Qin people were timid in private fights but brave in public battles. Even when the officials exploited the people, one person controlled a hundred people, and the Qin people did not dare to resist. However, this is not the case in the world now.
During the reign of the violent Emperor Liu Dan, the refugees were not willing to report to the government at all, and instead of suing the officials, they directly wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty.
By the time of my father's reign, people were constantly trying to assassinate powerful officials. It was not until heavy blows were struck that they gradually died down.
Gu always thought that it was because of the lack of majesty of the imperial court, and because of the chaotic government of Emperor Xiaoding and Emperor Ru, that the people of the world were unhappy.
But tonight I suddenly realized that this is because the hearts of the people in the world have changed.
Gu lost to Luo Shi.
Lost to the ideas that Luo Shi has worked tirelessly to spread for thousands of years.
There is no such thing as pretending. "
This was the first time Huo Guang heard the theory. He was a little shocked, but he felt that what Liu He said was very reasonable, "Gu will not be the last king who wants to dominate himself, and future emperors will only pretend to be better.
Gu wants to know if Rock's can keep winning?
Those of you who are following Luo Shi now, what will Luo Shi do after you fall and stand on the opposite side of those people?
It's a pity that I can't see it alone. "
Seeing Liu He getting more and more mysterious, Huo Guang suddenly realized that he could not let him talk any more. He felt frightened when he heard this.
Liu He is really good at deceiving people with his evil words!
He raised his sword and shouted suddenly, "Liu He, you failed this time because of your corrupt moral character and lost the hearts of the people in the world. That's why all the loyal ministers worked together to defend the country of the Han Dynasty.
You are here to confuse the public with your monstrous words. I can only defend the justice of the world by respectfully executing His Majesty's order and killing you here! "
"Are you worthy?
Except for His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Queen Mother, no one can kill me and no one can judge me! "
After saying that, he turned around and knelt in front of the Queen's Hall, kowtowing, a pool of bright red blood flowed from his abdomen, and his body collapsed.
Die by death!
