41. Conspiracy
Wrapped tightly around the fox fur on his body, Huo Guang walked forward silently, he did not hold a lamp, nor did he have a waiter to guide the way, but he did not hesitate for half a minute. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
――Weiyang Palace......
He is too familiar with this Purple Palace of the Son of Heaven (Note 1).
- Even with his eyes closed, he would not take a wrong step in this imperial palace.
Since the age of eleven, he has lived in this magnificent and extravagant palace.
At that time, he was the younger brother of the Great Sima Hussar General. - This identity is enough for him to run rampant in this imperial palace.
At that time, he was surrounded by young princes and younger princes......
At that time, they were young and arrogant, and after discovering the first secret passage, they vowed to find all the secret passages until they were learned by the Son of Heaven and received a stormy reprimand...... The punishment was severe, but the heaviest was the crown prince, who had always been spoiled......
Later, when his brother died, he learned to be cautious in fear - because he had no blood relatives to fear in this magnificent imperial palace......
-- He does not dare to make mistakes, he has no qualifications to make mistakes...... There is no qualification for arrogance!
So, he restrained all the youthful frivolity, and hid silently behind the man, he did not know if the man had discovered his thoughts, he only knew that the man had connived and shielded him from all the wind and rain......
So, when the man was seriously ill, he said to the man, "Uncle's light will be remembered for the rest of his life." The man was silent after being surprised, and shook his head after the silence: "No need! I was just...... I just want to hear someone call me uncle...... "Then there was an earth-shattering cough and vomiting blood...... He didn't even have a chance to be surprised and heartache!
- No need to remember his benefits!
- Because, he's just a love house and a black one!
When he really figured it out, the Si people had passed away, and he should have been wronged and unwilling...... With the completion of the tomb shaped like Lushan, it has disappeared in the autumn wind and cold rain of Maoling......
- How can he avoid being indifferent and holy, as that man is?
- So, Liu Ai, you don't need to remember those cares and loves, because all of this is just because you are the only blood descendant of the crown prince!
-- like all the man's cares and indulgences...... It's just because his surname is Huo, and he is Huo Quai's younger brother......
-- It's just because of the "uncle" who never changed his words!
The chill of the night suddenly became thick, and even the precious fox fur could not resist it, Huo Guang suddenly stood still, and the arms wrapped around his chest hugged him harder, but he still couldn't suppress the terrible shiver that welled up from the bottom of his heart.
His heart was full of bitter taste, Huo Guang smiled helplessly, gritted his teeth and suffered the consequences of his own suffering-why think too much......
-- Those people are gone......
- Now, in this majestic imperial palace, the people who can accompany him in the darkness...... It's all gone......
- He is already lonely, so why bother thinking about that......
-- Why bother to remind yourself of those senseless ...... again? What about bitterness?
- My uncle is gone......
- Prince ...... It's gone......
- Wei Jia...... Although he is there, he is like a hidden world, and he doesn't ask about foreign affairs......
- Prince ...... There's only one vein left......
- What is the point of him thinking about these things alone in the here and now?
Huo Guang smiled helplessly, but in his heart, the coldness and bitterness that made him unable to tremble finally gradually subsided......
Without sighing or suffering anymore, Huo Guang continued to move forward.
After the chill passed, his mind was clear - he was about to face a confrontation that he could not retreat from and could not lose!
The blood suddenly became hot, because of the fighting spirit, because of the bloodthirstiness......
- His surname is Huo!
- He is Huo Quai's younger brother!
Pursing his lips, Huo Guang recalculated the original plan in his mind.
When he walked into Shangshutai, Huo Guang had already regained the usual indifferent composure of General Sima. Seeing Zhang Anshi, Du Yannian and others who got up to greet him, he bowed his head lightly and sat down at the chief, but he didn't speak, just quietly looked at everyone in turn.
Everyone couldn't help but get nervous, both informed and uninformed.
"Young man." Huo Guang finally spoke, but it was Du Yannian, who was sitting at the bottom, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, and he was a doctor with a thousand stones, and among the people here, this status was indeed relatively low.
Huo Guang pondered whether to move Du Yannian's official position again, and ordered: "Guanghan and they don't know, you will say the current situation again."
On his right-hand side, opposite Zhang Anshi's seat, four young generals sat upright with their swords in high spirits, none other than Huo Guang's four sons-in-law—Deng Guanghan, Ren Sheng, Zhao Ping, and Fan Mingyou—along with Huo Yu, Huo Yun, and Huo Shan. It was the first time for them to sit together, and they couldn't help but be a little excited, and as soon as they heard Huo Guang's instructions, they looked at Du Yannian enthusiastically.
Du Yannian glanced at the seven people, smiled slightly, got up from the bottom, put a volume of brochures on the lacquer table in front of Huo Guang, and then said: "The current situation, Yan Di (Note 2) has a messenger to General Zuo's house tonight and handed over this book to General Zuo. ”
Huo Guang unfolded the brochure and nodded to Du Yannian to continue explaining.
Du Yannian thought for a moment, turned to look at the four of them, and smiled casually: "Actually, the eldest princess of Hubei and King Yan plan to submit a copy of King Yan's recital through General Zuo. ”
Deng Guanghan and the others looked at each other, the original excitement on their faces had disappeared, and no one spoke.
Du Yannian looked at Zhang Anshi and exchanged glances before continuing: "We didn't know the content of the book, so we can only guess that the content should be for the impeachment of the general. In retrospect, that could not be wrong. ”
After Du Yannian finished speaking, he looked at Huo Guang, Deng Guanghan and they also looked at Huo Guang, but when they saw that Huo Guang was looking at the brochure intently, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and remain quiet.
"Hmm......" Huo Guang noticed the silence in the room, raised his eyes to look at everyone, and smiled slightly, "Tell me what you think." His gaze swept to his son-in-law, and then continued to read the book, and Zhang Anshi and the others naturally looked at Deng Guanghan and them.
Deng Guanghan is just a good son who was selected as a lang by his strength, and he has always been attached to the Huo family, so he said without thinking: "The minister is under the orders of the general." ”
Huo Yu and Huo Yun had just passed the crown ceremony, and they were still very confused about the current situation, so they couldn't help but look at the older Huo Shan.
Huo Shan's mind turned, and he kowtowed: "But according to the general's orders." They are members of the Huo family, and there is no other choice.
Although Huo Yu and Huo Yun still didn't understand, they immediately kowtowed and repeated Huo Shan's words.
Ren Sheng, Zhao Ping, and Fan Mingyou glanced at each other, they were different from Deng Guanghan, Huo Yu, and Huo Shan, they were all from official families, and they all had their own families behind them, so they couldn't help but hesitate, but because of this, at this time, it was impossible for them to say anything like loyalty to the monarch and righteousness, and the three of them exchanged silently, and they also simply showed that they obeyed Huo Guang's arrangement.
- Although there is a family behind them, they are Huo Guang's son-in-law, what good can they do if something happens to the Huo family?
Zhang Anshi and others were unmoved by this result -- it was just expected.
Everyone looked at Huo Guang again, but saw that Huo Guang had already put down the brochure, and said lightly: "Except for Shan and Guanghan, you all have the position of Zhonglang General, and you are all in the period gate and the feather forest. I have given you a written order, and there is only one requirement - without my order, the gate and the feather forest are to guard the guard, and they are not allowed to move without permission. How you do it is up to you! ”
The seven of them couldn't help but be amazed - this order didn't seem difficult, but Qimen and Yulin were the guards of the Son of Heaven, and they were the only two troops in the Han army that did not act under the Great General's Tiger Fu, and now, how could they make the two troops obey the Great General's orders?
When he was in doubt, he heard someone suddenly speak: "The general's intention is to ask for the Edict of the Son of Heaven and Yulin to act according to the edict even if they receive the edict of the Son of Heaven?" ”
It was Fan Mingyou who spoke, although his face was very unsightly, Huo Guang still looked at the fifth son-in-law with appreciation, and was very satisfied with his keenness, and then nodded slightly. Fan Mingyou's face immediately turned pale, and he couldn't help stammering: "General...... This ......"
-- This is a great reversal!
The others understood that none of them had a more friendly face than Fan Ming.
"Can't do it?" Huo Guang asked very thoughtfully.
Fan Mingyou's face was pale, he couldn't say a word, and the others couldn't speak, and after a while, after all, Ren Sheng, who had a cousin of General Ren Changshi, suddenly came back to his senses and promised loudly: "I respect to follow the general's order." Period Gate, Yulin will guard the position of the guard! ”
A word woke up everyone, and immediately received the order.
- It's just that I don't want to do anything else except the Son of the Guard.
- Although it is not easy to do, if the Son of Heaven is allowed to use the period gate and Yulin, they are all close relatives of the Huo family, who can escape?
Thinking of this, they did not hesitate and immediately began to think about how to achieve this goal.
"Guanghan. Mountain. Huo Guang looked at the two who had no task, "Guanghan led people to keep an eye on the Shangguan family, and he couldn't let any of the Shangguan family go out of Chang'an." The mountain stared at the emperor's bed, and he couldn't let the county officials send anyone out of the palace. ”
"No!" With the previous orders as a foreshadowing, the two of them received these two orders without the slightest hesitation.
"You're all still on duty, go back!" After giving the order, Huo Guang let them leave first.
Seeing that his son, son-in-law and nephew were all out of the Book of Books, Huo Guangcai looked at Zhang Anshi: "Son? ”
Zhang Anshi nodded: "I have asked people to keep an eye on you young monarchs!" This is also one of the contents of Huo Guang's previous biography.
Huo Guang nodded, and then looked at Tian Guangming and Han Zeng behind Zhang Anshi: "The guards and the Eighth Captain's Mansion will annoy the two monarchs." ”
"No!" Neither of them shirked.
Tian Guangming is the guard captain, as long as he doesn't give the order, the guard Zhutun's soldiers and horses will naturally not be able to move. As the middle base, tun cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, Hu cavalry, shooting, and the eight captain's mansions of the Tiger Commander, they have been acting in accordance with the Fu Festival, and they cannot move without the Fu Festival, and now, half of the Tiger Fu is in Huo Guang's hands, and the Son of Heaven cannot comply with the order, so it is naturally not difficult.
"The rest will be bothered by the children and children." Huo Guang solemnly pleased.
Zhang Anshi nodded silently, he was not a person of many words, so naturally no one cared.
Everyone was about to go their separate ways, but Du Yannian, who had nothing to do, suddenly spoke: "Does the general plan to protect himself, or ......" He didn't finish speaking, but no one knew the meaning of his words.
Everyone couldn't help but stop their movements and looked at Huo Guang quietly.
With his fingers lightly buttoning the lacquer table in front of him, Huo Guang glanced at Du Yannian with a smile, but he didn't evade or answer: "It's not what I plan, but how I plan?" In any case, it was established by the first emperor. ”
Everyone couldn't help but bow their heads and think, Zhang Anshi looked at Huo Guang, chuckled and nodded: "Very good!" With that, he turned to leave.
Du Yannian smiled slightly, and spoke again: "Before I came, I just heard that the Prime Minister of the Son of Heaven and the Imperial Doctor will meet tomorrow to explain what he had discussed with Xianliang and literature before. ”
Everyone looked up in surprise, but Huo Guang glanced at him and did not respond, Zhang Anshi nodded at him after listening to his words, and left.
Note 1: Purple Palace, that is, another name for Weiyang Palace.
