Chapter 754: Statement
Cheng Mo said goodbye and left the palace, Liu Xun stood by the threshold of the east hall, watching him go away, his eyes were full of satisfaction and helplessness. Recently, there have been many events in the DPRK and China, but Bingji has a waist disease, and he is forced to work with his sick body, and the twists and turns are still accumulating. It would be nice if Cheng Moken shared more.
Xiao Luzi saw that he was silent when he looked at Cheng Mo's back, thinking that he was afraid of Cheng Mo, so he said carefully: "Your Majesty, the young man of the King of Bei'an is ambitious, and it is rare that he is not rampant. ”
Liu Xun retracted his gaze, glanced at him, and said, "So it's very rare." I have been on the throne for three years, and I can not be arrogant or impatient, only the eldest brother. ”
How many people can make up their minds to retreat bravely at the peak of life? But his determination is too resolute, if he hadn't worked hard to keep him, he would have gone long ago. Liu Xun smiled bitterly.
Xiao Luzi's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty is right." ”
Cheng Mo returned home, first went to Huo Shuhan's courtyard, and when he saw Huo Guang, he saluted and said, "Father-in-law." ”
For more than a year, Huo Guang has lived in a simple house, and the number of times he has been out of the house can be counted on one finger. He was in his position and felt that he was in control of government affairs, and it was a matter of course. He has confidence and self-confidence. He was Emperor Wu's minister, and he supported Emperor Zhao with one hand, and after Emperor Zhao died, he set up a new emperor.
Who has such brilliant feats as him? It is precisely because of this that when he found that Liu He misbehaved and was not suitable to be a king, he had the confidence to correct this mistake and re-establish Liu Xun as emperor, even if he knew that this move would leave a stain in the history books and would achieve a bad reputation as a powerful minister, he didn't care.
During the period of his retirement, in addition to recuperation, the rest of the time was to read and meditate, and he had plenty of time to review his life, and gradually realized that Emperor Zhao had endured him and Liu Xun was too respectful to him. Seeing that he doesn't ask about politics and the court is clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it can be seen that Liu Xun is not as ignorant of government affairs as he seems, this person is very hidden.
After thinking clearly, Cheng Mo's resentment of persuading him to retire disappeared. He smiled and said, "Gorou, hurry up." I have a few words to say to you this time. ”
Cheng Mo said: "Father-in-law, please go to the study to talk." ”
The two sat down in the study, and Cheng Mo boiled water to make tea. Huo Guangdao: "Your mother-in-law has that temper, don't take it to heart." She's a knife with a tofu heart. ”
Is this Huo Xian apologizing to himself? Cheng Mo was surprised and said: "Where does my father-in-law say, my mother-in-law is an elder, and we are juniors, how dare we have disrespectful thoughts." ”
With your treachery, even if you have ideas, I will not admit it. For this famous minister in history, Cheng Mo was very jealous in his heart, how dare he take his words seriously.
Huo Guang seemed to be very satisfied with his words, and said, "How long are you going to close the door and thank guests?" ”
Cheng Mo didn't expect him to ask this, and said, "I want to avoid the limelight, so I don't need to be the target of public criticism." ”
"You don't have to. The big husband is standing in the world, and he can do what he wants, so why care about what people say? Huo Guang said proudly: "Now that Captain Sili is in your hands, Qiao Jie and the others are friendly with you, you used to be the prime minister, and there are some people under you, at this point, why be afraid?" ”
Cheng Mo wanted to say that I just wanted to take a vacation and avoid the limelight, but it was just an excuse. However, the ancients were sincere, and it seemed that Huo Guang believed his words and would persuade him like this.
His original plan was to take a holiday until the end of the New Year, and after living for two lifetimes, there was no New Year's Day that could be easy, and in his previous life, he had to go to some people to pay New Year's greetings, and there were many business people who greeted him for the New Year, even if he sent WeChat New Year's greetings, his heart was tired. Not to mention wearing here, on the first day of the first month, you have to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, the monarchs and ministers have fun, and then colleagues walk around each other's New Year's greetings, the only exception is on the road, the fourth day of the first month to return to Beijing, and join the New Year's greeting army again.
He wants to spend the New Year in peace and then start his journey, can't he?
Looking at Huo Guang's eyes, the answer is yes.
Cheng Mo said: "Did Your Majesty say anything to your father-in-law?" "Could it be that Liu Xun asked Huo Guang to persuade him to go out of the mountain?
The water in the small tandoor boiled, Huo Guang motioned to Cheng Mo to make tea, and said, "I heard that His Majesty has asked you to return to the court many times, but you have not agreed?" According to me, you don't have to, if Your Majesty is careful, you will not be crowned the king of Bei'an. ”
Cheng Mo put a cup of fragrant tea in front of Huo Guang and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, please use tea." ”
Your old man doesn't know Liu Xun too well, it's true that he is a benevolent monarch, but once it comes to the throne, which emperor will be merciful? In his previous life, Cheng Mo happened to see an article on the blog, saying that Liu Xun fished for law enforcement, and after Huo Guang's death, he connived at Huo Xian and Huo Yu, so that their ambitions swelled, and finally the rebellion failed and they were exterminated. From then on, the government returned to the emperor. The content of that article came to Cheng Mo's mind.
Huo Guangdao: "I'm old, I can't take care of your uncles anymore, you can take care of them more in the future." ”
"Yes." Cheng Mo said: "Is my father-in-law going to ask for a seal for my uncles?" ”
Huo Guang's four sons, except for Huo Yu, the other three sons were in the Zhao Dynasty, and they had been crowned, and if they wanted to ask for the seal, they could only ask for Huo Yu. Cheng Mo didn't know why he didn't seal Huo Yu at that time, according to the situation at that time, he decided the power of the court and politics with a word, and waited for the edict, responsible for drafting an edict for the emperor, and wanted to seal Huo Yu as a marquis, at most he would inform Emperor Zhao.
Huo Guang said: "That's not necessary. ”
Cheng Mo understood, this was to blame him for Huo Yu's business. Huo Yu and Le Yuan conspired to accuse him of rebellion, he just let Jiang Jun beat him, Huo Xian didn't give up, Huo Guang didn't say anything, now it seems that Huo Guang didn't say it, but was waiting for him to say it.
"Yes, father-in-law, don't worry." Some of the words are still spread out, Cheng Mo felt that it was necessary to explain, and said: "The fourth uncle was attacked, and the captain of Sili had checked, it was a prostitute who was jealous with the fourth uncle in the Meng Hua Pavilion, but he invited the ranger to take action, and then the man left the capital and did not know where to go." ”
Huo Guang sighed: "Chivalry uses force to disrupt the country, these people really can't stay." ”
Whether Huo Guangxiang believes it or not, today he can be regarded as giving Huo Guang an explanation.
It was rumored in a small area among the courtiers that Le Yuan was killed by Cheng Mo's faction, and Huo Guang also heard the rumor and asked Huo Yu to go over to ask, but Huo Yu did not admit that he had met Le Yuan. When he came today, he was mainly worried that Cheng Mo would have opinions about Huo Xian, and he would not want to see his sons, so he gave him an order.
Huo Guang had many ideas for the future of the empire, and it was rare to have the opportunity to talk with Cheng Mo, and the couple had dinner in the Bei'an Mansion that night, and Weng Son-in-law continued to talk after the meal. Cheng Mo knew that Huo Guang wanted him to fulfill his wish.
Approaching the third watch, Huo Guang and his wife said goodbye and left.
Huo Shuhan said to Cheng Mo: "Father has already expressed his position, you should stop worrying about your mother in the future." ”
Cheng Mo knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he tucked the quilt corner for her and said, "Okay." ”
As long as Huo Xian is not too excessive, why should he be generous?
