Chapter 147: Qiao Yuanshan
Huo Pei'an walked hurriedly to the living room, and as soon as he got out of the morning, he heard a report from the housekeeper in the house, saying that an old man had come to look for him. Huo Pei'an thought back to what happened today, and immediately guessed the identity of the guest who came to the door. With a smile on his face that had been rare for many days, he took three steps and walked into the house in two steps. As soon as he walked to the entrance, he saw a middle-aged man with a strong and straight figure sitting on his seat, exuding a calm and resolute temperament.
"Brother Qiao, in the letter, I have already told you about the current situation and situation, I can now be said to have a wolf in front of me and a tiger in the back, and I am in a dilemma!"
This man who was called 'Brother Qiao' by Huo Pei'an was Huo Pei'an's brother in the court, Qiao Yuanshan. Qiao Yuanshan originally served as the general of the Qingbei Army in the DPRK and was responsible for garrisoning the northwest area. Qiao Yuanshan's father and Huo Pei'an's father are world friends, so although one of the two is a civil official and the other is a military attachΓ©, they seem to have an inseparable relationship, but they are very familiar with each other in private. And there is another important reason why Qiao Yuanshan can become Huo Pei'an's friend, that is, both of them are extremely ambitious and ruthless, and in their eyes, they only have their own interests, and everyone else can be sacrificed. And this Qiao Yuanshan is also the mysterious man who appeared in the Yanyu Building last night.
Qiao Yuanshan picked up the teacup on the table unhurriedly, gently blew away the green leaves floating on the water, and raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth without a trace, and said, "Brother Huo, I have already told you, that emperor is unreliable." Who are the people in the royal family? The last thing they lack is a villain who is treacherous and crosses the river and demolishes the bridge! You are the only one who makes wedding dresses for others wholeheartedly. Okay now, right? Suffering, right? β
Huo Pei'an sighed helplessly, and said: "Yuanshan, I don't understand what you mean, but at that time, he Liang Yinhao was vacillating and unassertive..."
"Hehe, so you think he's a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch?!" Qiao Yuanshan snorted coldly, his words were full of mockery, "Brother Huo, you are confused!" The throne of this emperor has always had indescribable magic, once he sits on this throne, everyone's temperament will change, and no one can escape! He Liang Yinhao was indeed easy to control back then, but he was still young at that time, and now he looks at it again, it's not that situation, right? His emperor in the past few years has not been in vain, and one day he will want to get rid of your shackles, it is only a matter of time. Moreover, although Huo Xiang is diligent in the government and the opposition, not everyone has entered your command, and that hard-headed Wei Ming is indispensable to blow the wind in the emperor's ear, right? β
"I reminded you back then, you have to keep a hand for yourself, don't gamble your whole life on that Liang Yinhao." Qiao Yuanshan's tone was particularly provocative and light, and he even called the emperor by his name, obviously not taking this young emperor to heart from the bottom of his heart.
"What's the use of regretting the past, this time I urgently recruit Brother Qiao to come back, just to ask you to help me!"
Qiao Yuanshan raised his eyebrows coldly and asked rhetorically, "How do you want me to help you?" Will you use the power of the Qingbei Army to support you, or will you unite with you and oppose the emperor on the surface? I'm afraid that this will make you die faster, Brother Huo, right? β
Although the two said that Huo Pei'an was the elder brother, and Qiao Yuanshan was the younger brother, the conversation between the two really made it difficult to distinguish who was the one who had the final say.
"Brother Qiao, you misunderstood, of course you didn't do it so clearly!" Huo Pei'an said with a rare low bow. Huo Pei'an has always been an arrogant and conceited person, but there is such a person in this world who can cure you without much effort, and Qiao Yuanshan is the one who pinched him to death for Huo Pei'an. Qiao Yuanshan is a military general, and his personality is upright when he says it is good, but he is also stubborn when he says it is ugly. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer people who are really good friends with Huo Pei'an in the DPRK and China, and some officials have gradually put on a neutral posture, and even more clearly look like King Rui. And Qiao Yuanshan not only has a high official position, but at the same time, he will never become the person of King Rui, which can almost be said to be Huo Pei'an's last relying force now, so no matter how unkind Qiao Yuanshan's tone is, Huo Pei'an can only endure it.
"Then you want me to help you gain the emperor's trust, so that you can run to the side to slander King Rui?" Qiao Yuanshan Xu found that his tone just now was too much, so he couldn't help but slow down.
Huo Pei'an's face was calm, and he muttered: "That's right, that's why I asked you to go to the Yanyu Building to investigate and see if you can find some clues from it." β
Qiao Yuanshan thought for a moment, and then nodded clearly, this time he had just returned to the capital, not to mention entering the palace to face the saint, even Huo Pei'an had not had time to meet, so he first went to the 'famous' Yanyu Building alone to inquire about the news.
"It's a bit rewarding. I heard the woman inside say that Ruiwang is indeed a frequent visitor to Yanyu Building, and he only orders a girl named Peaches every time. Qiao Yuanshan said truthfully.
Huo Pei'an was slightly stunned, and asked with a deep brow: "Peaches?" Kyori hasn't heard of this person? Brother Qiao, have you investigated the identity of this woman? β
"I originally thought that this woman named Peaches would be some kind of famous prostitute in the capital, which is why King Rui was so favored. But then I checked, this name is just an unknown Qinglou girl, and it seems that her name outside is not loud. I've wanted to order this peach a few times, but every time the bustard says she's either picking up customers, or, anyway, all sorts of shirk interfaces. β
Huo Pei'an said with a gloomy face: "This woman's identity must not be simple, Liang Yinhuan is looking for this woman every time he goes to Yanyu Tower, there must be something strange in it!"
Qiao Yuanshan smiled proudly and raised his head: "I think so too, you said that a dignified prince, even if you want to be an infatuated species, you won't choose the girl in the Qinglou!" So I changed my approach. My subordinates came to report that most of the gang members in the Lingshan Gang were men, but there was a woman with a very high status named Taowu, I think this person should be the 'peach' in their mouths! β
"Liang Yinhuan is really related to the gangs in the rivers and lakes, now this can be called the prime minister to grab your big handle!" The cold light projected in Huo Pei'an's eyes was like a sharp sword, vowing to break people's skin and bones.
Qiao Yuanshan said excitedly: "Then Brother Huo didn't hurry up and report it to the emperor, send someone to seal up the Yanyu Building, arrest all the people inside, and torture it." β
Huo Pei'an gritted his teeth and said, "No! I won't be so cheap, Liang Yinhuan will either not make a move, and I will make him unable to turn over this time!" (To be continued.) )
