In the warm room, Huo Guang's slightly messy gray hair was scattered on the pillow, he wanted to sit up, but as soon as his head was raised, Venus was floating in front of him, so he had to hold the pillow and not move.

Cheng Mo saw what he meant, and said, "Father-in-law, but you want to sit up and talk?" He took the pillow and helped him to sit comfortably before he sat down on the edge of the couch.

Huo Guang sighed: "I'm old, and I often feel powerless lately, and your uncles and brothers are too heavy, alas! ”

The afternoon sun shines through the window and shines on the treasures of the Bogu shelf on the wall, giving off a dazzling brilliance.

Huo Guang let out a long sigh, but it made this powerful minister who was powerful in the world feel like a hero's end.

Cheng Mo knows that if history does not change, Huo Guang's days will come to an end, which is why he strongly persuaded Huo Guang to retire and persuade Huo Guang to be more lucky.

But if you think so, you have to comfort him. Cheng Mo said: "My father-in-law is only sixty years old after the New Year, where is he old?" It's just not advisable to work like a young man. ”

Huo Guang smiled reluctantly and said, "You kid is talking nonsense with your eyes open, sixty years old is not old, do you want to live to be a hundred years old and become an old goblin?" ”

Cheng Mo laughed twice with "Hehe", and said: "If my father-in-law puts down government affairs and concentrates on recuperation, it will definitely be no problem to live to the age of eighty." ”

Huo Guang felt a little sad in his heart, and scolded with a smile: "Can I negotiate conditions with King Yama?" What nonsense. ”

Cheng Mo Zhengse said: "With my father-in-law's body and bones, go to bed early, get up early and exercise more every day, it will definitely be no problem to live to the age of eighty." If you sleep less and sleep less, and work hard every day, you are afraid of ......"

It depends on whether you want to die or power.

Huo Guang saw that Cheng Mo said solemnly, no longer tempted, smiled, and said: "You have the ability, but you are too impulsive, if I retreat, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy." ”

So, if he could, he wanted to keep going.

He didn't have the meaning of pity in his words, how could Cheng Mo not hear it? I had to persuade: "My father-in-law is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, as long as my father-in-law is alive, Your Majesty will not dare to touch the Huo family; As long as the descendants of the Huo family are safe, the family will be as stable as Mount Tai, and the son-in-law will try his best to take care of it, so why worry? ”

Huo Guang has the great grace of supporting Liu Xun, if Liu Xun doesn't want to chill the hearts of the people in the world, he won't touch a single hair of the Huo family. The same is true in history, if Huo Xian, Huo Yu and others did not rebel, how could Liu Xun destroy the Huo family? All he did was to fish and enforce the law, conniving at Huo Xian's mother and son, so that their ambitions swelled to the point of losing their minds, so that they wanted to rebel beyond their means. But in this way, he did not erase Huo Guang's credit.

Therefore, Huo Guang's worries are completely unnecessary, as long as he can restrain his disciples, the Huo clan will be as stable as Mount Tai. What's more, what about him, if there is really a case, how can he keep the Huo family, otherwise how can he see Huo Shuhan?

Huo Guang didn't know what was going on after his death, he had several children in the clan, and the only one who could shoulder the glory of the family was Cheng Mo's son-in-law, although a son-in-law was half a son, but after all, it was two families, how could he rest assured that he would hand over everything to Cheng Mo? Shangguan An is also his son-in-law, and in the end, didn't he and his father Shangguan frame him for rebellion? Fortunately, Emperor Zhao is wise, otherwise it would be the Huo clan who would have been punished by the nine clans, not the Shangguan clan.

Since Cheng Mo persuaded him to retire, he has been inspecting Cheng Mo's ability and loyalty, and he wanted to hand over power to Cheng Mo several times, but he hesitated before he opened his mouth, and dragged it out again and again until today.

Cheng Mo understands his mind to some extent, and he can't let go of his heart compared to his heart. Power is comparable to drugs/products, the higher the power, the heavier the addiction, how many people in high positions can put down? What's more, he is Huo Guang, who leaned towards the government and the opposition and deposed the emperor? It's just that if he doesn't let go, the Huo clan will continue to develop, and there is a worry about extinction, so Cheng Mo has to persuade him.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the room was quiet for a while, until Huo Guang coughed twice to break the silence.

Huo Guang took the water handed by Cheng Mo, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "Recently, some courtiers complained that they haven't given instructions for two or three days, right?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Mo said. Not only did the courtiers complain secretly, but Liu Xun also asked a few times.

Huo Guang smiled bitterly: "At the same time, under the headache, I can't approve so many twists and turns." ”

The empire is vast, and there are many affairs, no matter how big or small the state and county are, they have to write and report to the court, and the hundred officials have a lot of things to report, as well as the overall direction, and all kinds of things are piled up, and his recitals are more and more approved, and they can never be completed.

Cheng Mo didn't know what to say about him, and after being speechless for a while, he said: "If you are not afraid of your father-in-law's anger, you are not the emperor, why do you have to worry about this?" ”

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he became, and said, "Yes, yes, I'm not the emperor." ”

He was so used to criticizing that he forgot that he was just a gunman, and completely forgot about the main character.

Cheng Mo smiled at him and said: "Your Majesty has been in contact with government affairs for a while, it is better to return the power of this Zhu Approval to Your Majesty, and your father-in-law will take care of it. ”

Don't you believe in your own eyes, don't you believe that the emperor can handle government affairs well?

Huo Guang originally wanted to hand over the power of Zhu Pi to Cheng Mo, but he was worried that he was too radical, if his brain was open, he was afraid that it would cause turmoil, and he really didn't want to return the government affairs to Liu Xun, hearing Cheng Mo say this, he was stunned for a while before he said: "You mean, hand over the power of Zhu Pi to Your Majesty?" ”

With a red pen in hand, life and death are given power, who is not hot? Is Cheng Mo not moved, or is he too tactful?

Cheng Mo said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, Zhu Pi is his power, who can trespass?" ”

Huo Guang was stunned. He thought that Cheng Mo was bold, and he would definitely take the initiative to ask to take over the power baton when he heard him say that he was powerless, but he didn't expect Cheng Mo to persuade him to return power to the emperor, so what should the Huo family do in the future? The glory is gone.

Cheng Mo shook his head secretly and said, "Your Majesty will always grow up one day, and there are not a few courtiers who support him. How can the son-in-law dare not abide by the courtier's courtesy? If my father-in-law returns the right of Zhu Pi to His Majesty, I will assist His Majesty and protect the Huo family. ”

He still wants to live to be 100 years old, why should he provoke the emperor to be jealous and not die well for the sake of this empty power? After death, he has to affect his wife and children, which is really worth the loss.

Huo Guang didn't speak. He didn't expect Cheng Mo to be so resolute in terms of right and wrong.

Cheng Mo no longer persuaded him.

I don't know how long later, the maidservant girl said outside, "Ah Lang, Madame asked if you want some snacks?" ”

But Huo Xian didn't know what Weng Son-in-law said, and after talking for a long time, he asked the maid to come over to listen to the news.

Huo Guang said: "No. ”

The handmaid retreated.

Huo Guang's eyes stopped at Cheng Mo's young and handsome face, only to see that his eyes were firm, his thin lips were pursed, showing determination, and he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Let me think about it." ”

"Yes." Cheng Mo said: "Please also ask your father-in-law to put your body first." ”
