When Huo Guang returned to his residence, most of the ministers in the court returned to his residence. However, today, several other ministers came to Lu Bode's residence, including Zhu Maichen, He Yi, Yang Pu, and several Qianshi officials.

"It is not convenient for the Marquis to go there for the time being. Fu Lihou, please take a look. What should we do next?" Yang Pu was straightforward and said the first time.

Lu Bode signaled everyone to sit down, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while before saying, "From my understanding of the Marquis, the Marquis has always been in a state of affairs. Today, everyone can see clearly the matter in the court. Although the result is somewhat unexpected, I think the Marquis has been calm. Although I don't understand why the Marquis did this, I guess there must be a rule of the Marquis. I think since the Marquis didn't ask us to do anything, we will be as usual as before and in the future."

"Do we want to send someone to contact some marquis in private?" Zhu Maichen, a civil servant, did not act straightforwardly like a military general, and then added.

"I don't need to see it anymore. If you need it, the Marquis will notify us. And on the way back, I carefully recalled everything that happened in the court today. I still can't figure it out why His Majesty gave the Marquis a deadline for not attending the court for half a year? This means what will happen in half a year? Or what will happen in half a year?" Lu Bode was relied on by Huo Qubing and Huo Guang, so he naturally had extraordinary features. He could quickly discover some clues that are difficult for ordinary people to discover.

"Now the position of the three ministers in the court is vacant and there are many factions. How can we deal with the day when the marquis is gone?" asked a Qianshi official.

Now, in order to compete for the position of prime minister and censor, more than ten forces have appeared in the court. Although most of these forces have formed a short-term alliance, in the following days, there will definitely be a large-scale struggle between these forces in the court. And these people will definitely become the targets of being either attracted or excluded or suppressed.

"This matter is simple. When the Marquis was there, we remain neutral. Now the Marquis is not here for the time being, so we are as usual. What does anyone do if he is the prime minister and the censor? Besides, even if the Marquis is not in the court for the time being, we are not able to control it. Don't forget that there is a Jingzhao Yin who is ours!" Lu Bode had been fighting for many years and had a momentum when he spoke. After these words, not only Yang Pu and others nodded slightly, but even the officials of Qianshi were deeply convinced.

Although Huo Guang cannot attend court for the time being, Lu Bode is right. They are still a force that cannot be underestimated in the court. You should know that Lu Bode and Zhu Maichen are already ranked among the nine ministers, and Yang Pu He Yi is also an important minister of 2,000 stones. Moreover, these two people may be among the nine ministers at any time. In addition, a Jingzhao Yinong Du Yannian with great power, and a large number of middle and lower-level officials who rely on Huo Guang's group, even if this force is used to compete for the position of prime minister, it has a chance of winning, let alone protecting itself in the court?

Today, not only are the important officials from Lu Bode's mansion gathered. Many other ministers discussed secretly, among which Sang Hongyang's mansion also gathered more than ten court officials, including Wang Yong, a young minister who was one of the nine ministers. Sang Hongyang had formed an alliance with this Wang Yong at some time, and the officials under his dependents formed a significant force in the court.

"Although the Great Peasant Order made Huo Guang lose his official position today, it completely broke the face with Huo Guang. Although this person has lost power for the time being, His Majesty's attitude is intriguing. It may be a great disaster in the future!" Wang Yong said with some concern. He had no celebration with Huo Guang, but now Huo Guang lost power, but his power still remains, which forced Wang Yong to worry.

"Haha, the young master of the young mansion is too worried. How could Huo Guang fall down so easily? But it doesn't matter. In fact, I have seen it in the court that Your Majesty has no intention of punishing Huo Guang. But how old is Huo Guang now? But in his early twenties, if he is allowed to win a few more battles, how can Your Majesty be granted him? Our Majesty is over forty years. If Huo Guang goes down, how can Your Majesty feel at ease in the future? Today I stand up and make clear an enemy with Huo Guang. In fact, what Your Majesty wants to see. As long as Huo Guang does not die, I will be worry-free in the future." Sang Hongyang said with a look of wisdom beads in his hands.

Wang Yong's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood. He looked at Sang Hongyang with admiration and said, "The Great Ethnic Order means that although Your intention to punish Huo Guang, you need to check and balance Huo Guang's existence, and that person is the Great Ethnic Order. Haha, it seems that the Great Ethnic Order will not be far away."

"Congratulations to the Great Ethnic Order and congratulations to the Great Ethnic Order." Some other officials said one after another. Sang Hongyang was also full of energy. He may not have been so physically and mentally happy for many years.

At the back house of Anyang Hou Mansion, Huo Tang had already stood up, looked at Huo Guang with disbelief, and said in a daze: "Second brother, are you talking about Du Zhou asking someone to impeach yourself?"

"Do you remember what I said to you when I was in Nanyue? Sometimes taking a step back is not to admit defeat, but to exchange for greater space to take the initiative. But this time it was a cheaper Sang Hongyang, and I'm afraid he should make it better in the next day." Huo Guang sat on the stool and said with a relaxed look on his face, as if he was confirming that sentence at this moment, Wuguan was light.

"But my second brother can give up on me and protect himself, and Your Majesty doesn't plan to punish you anymore. The position of Grand Sima Pingnan is more important than that of the Prime Minister and the Censor." Huo Tang was still very puzzled. In her opinion, even though Huo Guang arranged the scene of impeaching him, there was no reason to really hand over his power voluntarily.

"Did you forget what Your Majesty's biggest concern for me?" Huo Guang looked at Huo Tang with a smile and asked.

"If you don't use the second brother, you can't seal it? If you don't use the second brother, it will make Your Majesty unable to sleep or eat?" Huo Tang remembered the situation Huo Guang analyzed to him a few days ago.

Huo Guang nodded to Huo Tang, then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huo Tang, and then continued: "I impeached myself to find a reason for His Majesty to take back my rights, but I didn't expect Sang Hongyang to jump out at that time. When Sang Hongyang buried a rift between me and His Majesty, His Majesty had not planned to take back my rights, at that moment I knew that His Majesty was really alert to me. At that time, I could only use the trick, but I wanted you to bear a lot of criticism in the future!"

Huo Guang's words explained the ever-changing situation in the court from another perspective, but neither Lu Bode nor Sang Hongyang noticed several key changes, but only Huo Guang and Emperor Wu of Han knew it.

"Second brother, please forgive me for being stupid, I still don't understand." Even with Huo Tang's intelligence and Huo Guang's already mentioned it, she still understands the samadhi.

"Haha, then let me ask you, what is my weakness in your second brother?" Huo Guang did not answer directly, but asked again.

Huo Tang looked at Huo Guang curiously, and then thought about Huo Guang's shortcomings in his heart. Although no one is perfect, Huo Guang is not a perfect person, but if he says that Huo Guang has any fatal shortcomings, he can't tell for a while. After thinking for a while, Huo Tang said: "It seems that there are some, but these should not affect the second brother. The younger sister really doesn't understand."

"Then do you think Your Majesty hopes to use someone who cannot even control himself, or someone who has fatal weaknesses and is more easily controlled?" Huo Guang asked again, this time he had already made the problem very obvious.

"Did your Majesty deliberately make your Majesty think that the second brother's weakness and weakness are his family?" Huo Tang understood a little. Huo Guang was willing to challenge Emperor Wu of Han in the court, exposing his fatal weakness. And let Emperor Wu of Han know Huo Guang's fatal weakness. Even if Sang Hongyang planted suspicions between the emperor and his ministers in Emperor Wu of Han, when he mastered Huo Guang's family, Emperor Wu of Han could still use Huo Guang with confidence.

"It's not intentional exposure, but this is really my weakness. In my eyes, the most important thing is not power or wealth, but this family! You are also a member of this family. If Your Majesty really wants to kill you, you have to kill me first!" Huo Guang shook his head and said affectionately.

"Second brother... I'm sorry..." Looking at Huo Guang's true feelings, without any false appearance, Huo Tang bowed his knees to Huo Guang, lowered his head and said regretfully.

Huo Guang quickly got up, took Huo Tang's hand and helped her up, then gently patted her shoulder, and said softly: "No need to say sorry for the family."

Huo Tang couldn't help but flow out again, but it was not the previous self-blame and grievance, but the tears of happiness and warmth.

"Silly girl, her face is so cute. This is not beautiful." Huo Guang reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Huo Tang's face, and said half as if serious and half as if joking.

"Since Your Majesty is already wary of his second brother, should you send someone to inform Hou An?" Huo Tang opened his heart and returned to his former wisdom again, and soon considered Huo Guang. Now Shanglinyuan is stationed with more than 20,000 elite soldiers brought back by Huo Guang in southern expedition. These people are currently led by Shangguan Jie, most of whom are slaves, and they are loyal to Huo Guang.

"No need, although Shangguan Jie seems reckless, he is actually a person who can hide things in his heart. If he had been confused by these small things, I would not have handed over this elite to him at the beginning." Huo Guang understood what Huo Tang meant. She was afraid that Shangguan Jie would do something impulsive when he knew the news of his demotion, but Huo Guang had already considered these things.

"There is another thing that I'm a little unclear. Why did Your Majesty set a half-year deadline for the second brother?" Huo Tang soon discovered the unusual thing that Emperor Wu of Han asked Huo Guang to be a visiting doctorate for half a year, and clearly stated that Huo Guang would not have to go to court for half a year. The implication was that Huo Guang could go to court for half a year.
