Chapter 177: Take sides
As soon as Zhao Yufei entered the backyard, the dog ran in to report, and a small servant begged to see Cheng Mo, saying that General Huo Da was invited, which scared Zhao Yufei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
She wanted to refresh and change a set of clothes for visitors, but she was worried that she would leave a bad impression on people if she left people in the air for too long, so General Huo Da would give Cheng Mo small shoes to wear. But what I'm wearing is everyday clothes, which are not solemn enough.
The dog was also frightened, and said incoherently: "He said he wanted to see Ah Lang...... Oh, no, he said that General Huo asked Ah Lang to come over, oh ......"
Emotions are contagious, and the dog is so upside down, which makes Zhao Yufei even more nervous, and she can't help but feel at a loss. Still Gu Pan'er is used to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles, so she turned her heart sideways and said: "No matter how powerful General Huo is, he didn't come in person." This man is just a small man, so why be afraid of him? ”
"No, if you offend him, how can he speak ill of Gorou in front of General Huo?" Zhao Yufei was so worried.
As he spoke, the time for a cup of tea passed. The little guy was hung at the gate, but he didn't think it was inappropriate, Cheng Wulang was a person who even General Huo had to stutter, he was a little errand, and he was hung out, what is it? But what's the matter with the fact that people keep running through the door in the yard? He read that right, did those people run out to peek at him?
The little guy wondered.
In the backyard, Gu Pan'er looked at the hourglass, was anxious, and said, "If my sister changes her clothes again, her clothes will be changed early, and it is really not a way to delay like this." I'll take a look with you. ”
With Gu Pan'er by her side, Zhao Yufei felt a lot more at ease, the two walked to the door, and the little servant saluted: "General Huo asks Wulangjun to come over immediately, and there is something important to discuss." ”
How did two women come out? What about Cheng Goro?
The two women were busy returning the courtesy. Zhao Yufei remembered that she hadn't asked Cheng Mo to get up yet. She was not good at adapting, so she had to look at Gu Pan'er.
Gu Pan'er felt sorry for Cheng Mo who hadn't slept all night, and received Zhao Yufei's signal for help, and said with a smile: "Distinguished guest, please wait a while, Wulang will come over immediately." ”
Guest! The little guy was so frightened that he shook his hands and said, "Don't dare to be." The small one is just a word, and this is goodbye. ”
When the words arrived, Guan Chengmo didn't want to go, don't offend him is serious.
The two girls didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, and they were stunned for a moment. Zhao Yufei said: "Distinguished guest, please go back first, and the slave will go to invite Wulang, go over immediately, go over immediately." ”
This flattering tone made the little guy extremely unaccustomed to it, and he didn't know how to agree, so he had to flee.
Cheng Mo was woken up and learned that Huo Guang and Huo Shuhan had sent someone to invite, and looked at Zhao Yufei with an angry little daughter-in-law, and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to be too self-contemptuous, General Huo also has two eyes and one nose, no different from ordinary people." ”
Zhao Yufei remembered the panic when she heard Huo Guang's name, and her face flushed. When Gu Pan'er heard that there was still one sitting in the wing, she said curiously: "What did you do?" Why are they looking for you? ”
"It's nothing, it's just helping him clear out his political opponents. Well, by the way, he saved his family, along with his eldest daughter and granddaughter who were married. Cheng Mo said lightly, but his tone was full of pride. In front of your own woman, it is necessary to praise it.
That's all for it? Zhao Yufei and Gu Pan'er were stunned.
After Cheng Mo finished grooming, he called Wangcai over, made an appointment to see Huo Shuhan tomorrow, and sent him away before going to Huo Guang's office.
Huo Guang was very busy, not only to clear the remnants of Shangguan Ji, but also to appease those centrists, and to consolidate the existing forces. Taking time out of his busy schedule to let Cheng Mo pass, it can be seen that Cheng Mo has the weight in his heart.
Under the corridor in the courtyard, many officials waited to be summoned, and when they saw Cheng Mo coming, they didn't care, until the little servant came up and said, "Gorou, please." Their eyes widened. They have been waiting here for a long time, and they haven't seen anyone call them in, not to mention, in front of General Huo, who is worthy of the word "please"?
As soon as Shangguan Ji falls, Huo Guang will definitely take over the power. are all old fritters mixed in officialdom, who doesn't stick to it?
Cheng Mo smiled brightly and said, "The general asked a certain person to come over, I don't know why?" ”
It was the little guy who came to greet him, and he was extremely respectful to Cheng Mo, and said, "I don't know the little one." ”
Huo Guangzheng was talking to someone, and he had to report that Cheng Mo was coming, so he hurriedly sent the person out, called Cheng Mo in, and saw that Cheng Mo was going to salute, and said busily: "Your Majesty once said that Wulang has made great contributions this time, and the old man does not dare to accept Wulang's courtesy." ”
Cheng Mo saluted in a proper manner and said, "The general said that he laughed, Cheng Mou is just a kid who doesn't understand anything, how can he be worthy of His Majesty's evaluation?" ”
Huo Guang was extremely useful, let Cheng Mo sit down, and said: "A few days ago, the old man asked Wulang to worship the old man as a teacher, but Wulang refused. ”
Cheng Mo listened to his kind words like a spring breeze, and the cold hairs on his body stood on end. Huo Guang's fate is not good, if you get too close to him, I am afraid that there will be a day when you will be affected. But now that he is bringing up this matter again, it is clear that he wants Cheng Mo to stand in line. Now the only Shangguan Ji who can compete with him has been destroyed, and no one can stop him anymore.
If you don't accept the olive branch he stretched out, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see the historical fact that his people were wiped out with a kick in his eyes. Cheng Mo got up, saluted, and said, "General Xie has blue eyes." ”
That's the promise. As for what you learn, it doesn't matter, what matters is that you connect with each other in a way and become a community of interests.
Huo Guang was very satisfied, and said: "The next year after tomorrow, Wulang will perform a crown salute, and then the old man will crown you." ”
The men's crown ceremony is adulthood, which is naturally very grand, and it is necessary to ask a person of high moral standing to crown and write a table. If you can invite General Huo, who is in power to the government and the opposition, needless to say, it will be a great honor.
He didn't mention worshipping the teacher, he didn't call himself a teacher, Cheng Mo didn't mention it either, thanked him with a smile, and then said goodbye. When walking through the courtyard, there was a buzz behind him, and there were those who were envious, those who were jealous, and those who did not think so, and so on. Cheng Mo didn't care so much and went to the Xuanshu Palace.
For the convenience of the performance, Huo Guang's public office is not far from the Xuanshu Palace.
Emperor Zhao handed a list to Cheng Mo to read: "Huo Zimeng wants to dispose of these people." ”
Cheng Mo was quite surprised, and said, "Your Majesty, be careful that the wall has ears. ”
Huo Guanghao is the first emperor to trust a lonely minister, and Emperor Zhao has never called him a word to show respect, but called him Qing.
Emperor Zhao pursed his lips. It was only at this time that he understood Cheng Mo's previous good intentions, but now it was too late to say anything.
Cheng Mo looked at the list and was not surprised at all, if Huo Guang didn't take this opportunity to purge the dissidents, when would he clear them? It's just that there are a few people on the list who are great Confucians in the world, and they will be punished as rebels, which is a pity.
"Your Majesty must also accumulate strength while being patient." Cheng Mo persuaded in a low voice.
No one can take back power, and everything is false.
Emperor Zhao let out a long sigh and said, "Qing is very right. (To be continued.) )
