Chapter 308: The Queen Mother
"Master Huo, you ......" Zhao Xu was so angry that he was speechless for a while, your son was lost, what does it matter to me, and I didn't let him kidnap him, you want to see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven doesn't want to see you, send me over, but where did I offend you?
Huo Jiang stood up, glanced at him coldly, turned around, and strode out with a loose posture, leaving Zhao Xu there.
Fortunately, Huo Jiang turned around and left, and Zhao Xu was finally able to take back his unlucky hand.
It's okay, you Huo Jiang toasted and didn't eat and drink, you left by yourself, not me forcing you.
Zhao Xu lifted his robe, he also wanted to leave, today was still a day off, he was discussing with his staff at home about the next thing in the cabinet, and someone from the palace asked him to see Huo Jiang, and now that people have seen it, does he want to go to the Son of Heaven to return his life?
Zhao Xu thought about it, and he didn't know if the Son of Heaven was chanting scriptures or meditating, but he had to go.
Zhao Xu had no choice but to go to the Qinzheng Palace, he had almost forgotten when the last time he came to the Qinzheng Palace.
Fortunately, this time, the emperor summoned him for the first time.
The emperor sat on the futon, his black hair draped over his shoulders, his face was as pale as paper, and under his eyes, which should have been full of vitality, were two swollen eye bags, making it impossible to believe that the person in front of him was actually not yet thirty years old.
"Have you seen Huo Jiang?" There was a bit of laziness in the Emperor's voice.
"Long live back, the minister has seen Master Huo." Zhao Xu suddenly found that today's matter, in fact, it was difficult for him to explain it clearly to the emperor.
"Tell me, what's the matter with Huo Jiang?"
The emperor seemed to be very interested, Zhao Xu sighed in his heart, it was really rare, in addition to Buddhist scriptures, there were actually things that made the emperor interested.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell him what happened today, but he could only say that Huo Jiang took out a letter, and he couldn't say anything about it, and he didn't know where to start.
He couldn't tell the emperor, he mistakenly thought that Huo Jiang was going to show him the letter, so he reached out to take it, but Huo Jiang put the letter in his sleeve.
"Oh, and what's going on? Huo Jiang's son, said that the Zhan family Xiaowu tied him? Interesting, really interesting, being tied up, and being able to send the letter out by himself, Huo Jiang's son is really powerful. The Emperor's voice was cheerful, and it was clear that the pleasure that this incident had brought him was far more enjoyable than the rumors in the capital.
"No, long live, Huo Jiang didn't elaborate on the contents of the letter, just said that Huo Yan knew who the person who kidnapped him was, but he didn't say the name of that person to the minister."
A cold sweat broke out on Zhao Xu's forehead, and he carefully recalled what Fang had just said to the emperor, confirming that Zhanhuai's name was not mentioned.
In other words, the Zhan Xiaowang in the emperor's mouth is not what he said, but the rumors on the street, and the emperor already knows.
Zhao Xu really wanted to wipe his sweat, did he and Guo Yong underestimate the emperor before?
The emperor snorted twice and said, "Really? Huo Jiang didn't say? Then it seems that it must be Zhan Xiaowu, Huo Jiang deliberately sold a pass in front of you, so that you can't wait to come to see me and sue him in front of me, so that he can have enough reasons to ask to see the Queen Mother, do you understand? ”
Zhao Xu was stunned, what do you mean, why did you get involved with the Queen Mother again?
He was in a state of mind for a moment, and finally understood.
Huo Jiang was originally the queen mother, and when he encountered this incident, Huo Jiang wanted to ask for help most from the queen mother, not the emperor.
That's why he deliberately provoked him in front of him, and calculated that he would come to see the emperor, and when the emperor encountered this kind of thing, he couldn't help anyone, and according to the emperor's usual practice, this matter would be thrown back to the cabinet.
Now that the first assistant Guo Yong is dead, all the things in the cabinet have been handed over to the second assistant, and the second assistant is the queen mother's person, what will happen next to this matter, it can be imagined.
At most, tomorrow, the Queen Mother will inquire about this matter.
The Queen Mother was originally very blue-eyed towards Huo Jiang, not to mention that this time Huo Jiang also had a conflict with Zhao Xu because of this incident, with the Queen Mother's personality, she would definitely not pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The Queen Mother is not afraid of offending the emperor, let alone Zhao Xu, now that Guo Yong has died, the Queen Mother and her party are raising their eyebrows, how can they let go of this opportunity to disgust the emperor and win over Huo Jiang.
Zhao Xu fell into an ice cave, he just saw Huo Jiang, and he was calculated by Huo Jiang, and he was still complacent, thinking that he could sue Huo Jiang in front of the emperor.
"Hooray, I really don't know." Zhao Xu hurriedly knelt down.
The emperor waved his hand and said coldly: "If Guo Aiqing is still here, there will definitely be no mistake like this, forget it, you go down, I'm tired."
Zhao Xu didn't know how he got out of the Qinzheng Palace, without Guo Yong, he was invincible in the cabinet with two fists and four hands, and now in front of the emperor, he was also difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, not surprisingly, the next day the Queen Mother learned about it, the Queen Mother had already returned to the emperor, and she had been in Cining Palace for the past few years, and she rarely came out, let alone summoned the minister to ask questions as before.
The Queen Mother sent Xiao Chuan, the great eunuch beside her, to personally go to Huojiang Mansion to pass on the message.
"The Queen Mother said this: Huo Jiang, the mourning family still remembers your eldest son, who is a smart and clever child, since he has an accident, the mourning family wants to help you, I heard that your son sent someone to send a letter, you can show the letter to the mourning family."
This time, Huo Jiang did not hesitate and handed over the letter written by Huo Qingzhou to him to the eunuch.
He also added two more sentences: "Please tell the Queen Mother on behalf of your father-in-law, this letter was not sent by the woodcutter on the mountain, but appeared on Wechen's bookcase without knowing it, and there was no one to serve Weichen that day, but it was just a moment to turn around, there was more this letter on the bookcase, this matter is too unbelievable, Wechen just pretended to have a woodcutter's words, and fabricated the origin of this letter." ”
Sure enough, the eunuch was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly returned to Cining Palace and told the Queen Mother Huo Jiang's words word for word.
The Queen Mother hummed and said to Mama Ouyang, who was standing aside: "You come to read the mourning family." ”
Mama Ouyang unfolded the letter and read the contents of the letter line by line.
The Queen Mother frowned, as if in disbelief: "The mourning family has heard you talk about the rumors outside, but I didn't expect it to be true." Xiao Wu of the Duke of Fujian, is he so bold to fabricate the origin of this letter. ”
