Huo Jiang didn't expect that this child would not only become his eldest son, but also his only son.

Just as his father expected, the Huo family finally had children and grandchildren who were envied by the world, Huo Yan was extremely smart, and he became famous at a young age, every time he heard someone praise Huo Yan in front of him, saying that Huo Yan had the style of a father, he smiled bitterly in his heart. He studied diligently since he was a child, and he had to work several times harder than his classmates before he became famous. But Huo Yan has been playing since he was a child, he doesn't like to read, and the poems he wrote casually amazed him, because he was active, he invited Huo Yan to a martial arts master, but he didn't expect the master to say that Huo Yan was a once-in-a-lifetime talent.

For this son picked up for nothing, Huo Jiang became more and more unsure of how to deal with it, especially after the death of his wife, there was little communication between father and son.

Now, Huo Yan finally remembered his father, Huo Jiang smiled bitterly, but was very relieved.

He still remembered that when Huo Yan was very young, his wife was still alive at that time, and the relationship between father and son was still good, once he accidentally got a secret quotation used in the former army, just a dozen pages of booklets, he thought it was interesting, so he pondered, Huo Yan, who was only a few years old, came over and curiously touched the yellowed booklet, afraid that Huo Yan would be naughty, he hugged Huo Yan to his lap, Huo Yan pointed to the booklet and asked, "What is this?" ”

He was in a good mood that day, so he casually taught a few words of the code words in the booklet, but he didn't expect Huo Yan to think it was funny and pestered him to teach the whole book. At that time, Huo Yan's literacy was limited, and he didn't take it to heart, thinking that the child would forget it in an instant.

But this time, he read Huo Yan's letter twice, and felt a little strange, with Huo Yan's style, he would definitely not use inappropriate words, and this letter has at least five places that need to be corrected.

If this letter is from the hands of ordinary people, it would be fine, but this is Huo Yan's own handwriting, then it is abnormal.

Huo Jiang suddenly remembered the code booklet back then, but he didn't remember the meaning of each word for a long time, so he had to find out the booklet and check the five flaws in the letter one by one, and finally, he understood.

Huo Yan told him in code words that he would hand over the matter to the Queen Mother.

Thinking of this, Huo Jiang couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The next day, word came from the palace that the emperor wanted to see him.

Huo Jiang entered the palace directly from the Hanlin Academy, and he hadn't seen the emperor for a few days.

Today is still a day off, but he still came to the Hanlin Academy, since Huo Sijin came to the capital, he felt that it was far easier to be in the Hanlin Courtyard than at home.

There are more than ten days of rest in the first month, and the Hanlin Academy has arranged for them to take turns on duty, and today it is Fan Hui and Shi Yun who are on duty. Fan Hui has been in the Hanlin Academy for more than 20 years, but Shi Yun is a Jishi, and the museum will be disbanded next year.

Huo Jiang walked out of his room and saw Fan Hui and Shi Yun under the corridor, looking at the two of them, as if they were waiting for him.

I think it's because the eunuch in the palace came to herald, so the two of them came over to take a look.

Seeing Shi Yun, Huo Jiang suddenly remembered that Shi Yun's elder brother Shi Yuan was the long history of the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess's concubine was the second son of the Zhan family, and this time it was the fifth child of the Zhan family who kidnapped Huo Yan.

This is not a coincidence, the capital is such a big place, especially in the officialdom, people can have a little relationship with each other.

The nobles and clans are all related to each other, and the eunuchs who are in the imperial examination are more involved in each other, who is the same student as whom, and who is the same subject as whom, and who comes and goes, and it becomes a huge network.

"Lord Zhangyuan, I heard that someone came to the palace, but Ling Lang's matter has an eyebrow?" Fan Hui is an old friend with him, so he is not polite, and he is straightforward.

Huo Jiang shook his head and sighed: "I don't know yet, I have to see the Holy Lord to know." ”

Shi Yun said on the side: "Master of the Academy, if there is anything that needs help, you just have to command, I have no other ability, and I can still do some errands." ”

Huo Jiang smiled, patted Shi Yun's shoulder gently, and said to Fan Hui: "Thank you, the father-in-law in the palace is still waiting, I will enter the palace." ”

He turned around and walked out, and just after a few steps, he heard Shi Yun's voice behind him: "Lord Zhangyuan, or I will ask my brother to ...... to the eldest princess"

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jiang turned around and said to Shi Yun: "I understand it in my heart, it's just a matter of the Zhan family, so don't involve the clan." ”

Shi Yun wanted to say anything more, Fan would pull his sleeve with his hand, and he had no choice but to do it.

When Huo Jiang walked away, Shi Yun asked Fan Hui: "Everyone in the capital said that Huo Qingzhou was kidnapped by the fifth prince of Zhan, and you can see that Lord Huo did not refute it, which means that the rumors outside are not wrong." After all, Master Ma is the brother of the fifth prince of Zhan, please ask the eldest princess to blow the wind on the pillow for Master Ma Ma, maybe she can put Huo Qingzhou back. Huo Qingzhou is a rare genius in a century, if he has three longs and two shorts, it will be Shilin's loss. ”

Fan Hui shook his head: "No, no, no, you are still young, you can't see what is going on here, don't forget, things related to Zhanhuai are not only Huo Qingzhou, but also Guo Shoufu's case." If Huo Qingzhou was released back just based on the eldest princess's words, what should be done about Guo Shoufu's case? Does Zhan Juma still want to send Zhanhuai's head back to atone for his crimes? ”

Shi Yun was stunned, this was indeed something he didn't expect. The Zhan family would not use Zhanhuai to pay for Guo Yong's life anyway.

"Is this going to be over? Huo Qingzhou's matter is easy to say, after all, people are still alive, as long as the Huo family does not pursue it, it is fine, but Guo Shoufu is life is at stake. He asked.

Fan Hui touched a few strands of beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Young man, who do you think released these news?" Before Lord Huo entered the palace last time, there were rumors and rumors outside, besides, with Lord Huo's personality, would he spread the news to the streets? ”

Of course Huo Jiang won't, everyone in the Hanlin Academy knows who Huo Jiang is.

"Who could that be? It is impossible for the Guo family to ...... But who else but the exhibitor himself would know? It won't be an exhibitor. The more Shi Yun thought about it, the more confused he became.

Fan Hui laughed: "How is it impossible? Why didn't the exhibitors release the news themselves? Young man, you will be disbanding next year, and the things in the officialdom are not as simple as in the Hanlin Academy, and you have to learn too much from Brother Ling. ”

Shi Yun laughed inexplicably at him, but none of the several people involved in this matter could be provoked by him, and he didn't want to ask again.

When he returned home, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to see his eldest brother Shi Yuan.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Shi Yuan's voice from inside: "Don't use the post station, you go to Henan in person, hand over this letter to Gongzi Xie himself, and don't miss it." ”
