Chapter 9: Woe

Liu Xun was taken aback, how did Yu Linjun run here? Whether it is to maintain law and order in the capital or the market, it is not the responsibility of the Royal Forbidden Army Yulin Army. The market is managed by the Municipal Decree Bureau, with the mayor, the city officer, the city pawn, and the public security is controlled by the Jing Zhaoyin and other three auxiliary governors, and the ruling Jinwu leads the northern army to take charge of the patrol in the capital and prohibit violence. There's no need for the Yulin Army here.

"A male pet, the Huo family first begged for the marquis, and now they actually use the Yulin Rider to protect him, it's really unscrupulous." He understood that these Yulin riders were coming to relieve Feng Zidu's siege, and his heart suddenly became angry, and his face became more and more serious.

Shi Gao sensed that the emperor was unhappy, and said cautiously: "Huo Guang's two sons-in-law are the guards of the East and West Palaces respectively, and they are in charge of guarding the two palaces. The third son-in-law, Fan Mingyou, is the guard of Weiyang Palace, the eldest son-in-law Deng Guanghan is the guard of Changle Palace, and the second son-in-law Ren Sheng is the Zhonglang general and Yulin supervisor, all of which can mobilize the Yulin army. Look, Pham Minh Woo is here. ”

Fan Mingyou, the Marquis of Pingling, the general of Duliao, wore a splendid red robe, a collar of fish scales and Xuan armor, a crane crown, and a jujube red horse, which was also majestic.

The crowd on the street was forced by the Yulin Rider to retreat to both sides, vacating an avenue. The Yulin rode slowly forward in two columns on the left and right, separating the Xuancha from the crowd, Fan Mingyou drove to the Xuanche, said a few words to Feng Zidu, waved his hand, and the Xuancha slowly started and drove away from Hengqiao Avenue under the escort of the two columns of Yulin Army.

The mayor of Dongshi and a cadre of the city shouted: "Disperse, disperse, what to do." The crowd gradually dispersed, and the shops on Hengqiao Avenue resounded with shouts of buying and selling.

Liu Xun's face was gloomy and silent.

Shi Gao didn't dare to speak, he was silent for a long time, but he couldn't help but say: "Fan Mingyou is guilty of overstepping the system. ”

"Is the Huo family still doing less than that?" Liu Xun said hatefully, clenched his fists and lightly slammed the food table, as if he had made up his mind: "The Yulin Army must not be in charge of them. ”

Shi Gao couldn't help nodding and said with emotion: "Huo Guang has only one son, but there are many daughters, and the son-in-law team is grandiose. ”

Liu Xun snorted: "I am also the son-in-law of the Huo family." ”

Shi Gao was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked, and hurriedly fell to the ground and kowtowed, his temples were cold and sweaty, where did he dare to speak.

Liu Xun stared at him, frowned thoughtfully, and after a while, suddenly said, "Get up, you will be in charge of the Yulin Army." ”

A few days later, Da Sima Huo Yu retired to his home, sullen all the way, and went to see his mother first when he got home. Huo Xian saw that his son was in a bad mood and asked what was going on.

Huo Yu looked depressed and said, "The emperor accepted my right general's seal and asked me to be a full-time big Sima." The right general can mobilize troops and horses. ”

Huo Xian comforted: "If you accept it, you will accept it, so that you can lead the troops to fight in the future, and my family does not rely on military merits." Besides, I have two sons-in-law, the guards of the East Palace and the West Palace, both of whom can dispatch the Yulin Army. ”

Huo Yu said angrily: "I was also dismissed, Fan Mingyou is now Guangluxun, in charge of palace chores; Deng Guanghan was reappointed as Shaofu, in charge of the palace finances, and Xing Xu was greedy for copper money. Ren Xuan, a courtier close to my family, was also sent to Shuofang as a taishou. By the way, the royal honor guards of our Huo Mansion have also been accepted. ”

Huo Xian didn't understand anything else, and she didn't care very much, but she enjoyed the royal honor guard very much, and she was really annoyed when she heard this, and said indignantly: "It's too much to accept the royal honor guard of our Huo Mansion." Don't look at this Liu Yi can now put on a prestige, if it weren't for your father, he would be a street gangster, how could he become an emperor if he set up a stall with Xu Pingjun or something. ”

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and said, "Your father should have been the emperor himself. ”

Huo Yu was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly turned his head and looked out of the door, turned around and complained softly: "Mother, you can't talk nonsense, it's a big crime to spread it." ”

"What is rebellious is not rebellious, if your father is here, he said that whoever rebels is who rebels." Although Huo Xian was puffed up, his voice was much quieter.

Huo Yu looked sad and said, "The emperor is becoming more and more estranged from our Huo family. However, with his father's support, he should not embarrass our Huo family. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked: "Mother, when you talk about Xu Pingjun, I have to ask, it has always been rumored that in order to make my little sister the queen, my mother instructed someone to poison Queen Xu." ”

Huo Xianman didn't care: "Yes, I instructed the palace female doctor Chun Yuyan to take advantage of Xu Pingjun's pregnancy and labor, mix aconite into the medicine, and poison Xu Pingjun, otherwise how can your little sister Chengjun become the queen." ”

Huo Yu only felt his head buzzing. His face turned pale, his mouth was wide open, and he stared at Huo Xian as if he was stupid.

Huo Xian was also a little stunned, jumped forward and shook his shoulder, and shouted, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you, what's wrong."

Huo Yu was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "Poisoning the queen is a great crime of extermination." How can you do this, what if the emperor finds out? With that, he pounded the ground with both hands, beat it a few times, and lay on the mat and cried.

Huo Xian was stunned for a moment, then clasped his hands to his chest, looked at him calmly, and after a while, asked disdainfully, "Have you cried enough?" The real generation is not as good as the generation, and you are not half as good as your father. He said sharply: "She Xu Pingjun, the daughter of a court official, what qualifications does she have to be the queen, is she worthy of being a mother in the world?" ”

"But the emperor has a deep love affair with her, do you know that the emperor once issued an edict to ask for a sword in the past."

"I know, that's why I had to poison it."

Huo Yu wiped the tears on his face and asked, "Does my father know about this?" ”

Huo Xian didn't think much about it, and immediately replied: "Your father didn't know in advance. After Xu Pingjun's death, the emperor issued an edict to investigate the matter, and all those who had entered Xu Pingjun's inner room were detained, and Chun Yuyan was also locked up for interrogation. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to stand it, so I told your father, who didn't say anything at the time. Later, he asked the emperor, saying that women's childbirth was inherently dangerous, and that Empress Xu's death or her own weak constitution would cause the doctor to be held responsible, and that it would be detrimental to the royal benevolence.

"And later?"

"The emperor will approve it, everyone will be released, and your sister will also become the queen."

"That's it?"

"yes."

"No more pursuits?" Huo Yu asked in disbelief.

"No, after all these years, we are not all fine." Huo Xian replied easily.

"It's different now, my father is gone, it's gone. If the emperor is re-investigated, we will have no place to die. Huo Yu frowned, and asked again: "What about Chun Yuyan?" ”

"After I released it, I gave her 500,000 yuan." When Huo Xian said this, he looked very distressed.

"Why did Chun Yuyan ask for so much money, where did she go later."

"Who knows what she wants money for, I heard that she has a nephew named Chun Yuji, who studied medicine with her, and was about ten years old at that time."

"Where are they now?"

Chun Yuyan died of illness two years ago. You say that she is a court doctor, and some people say that she is a 'female middle Bian Que', so she got sick and died. Luckily, I didn't let her see me. ”

Huo Yu was impatient, interrupted her words and asked, "What about her nephew?" ”

Huo Xian shook his head: "After Chun Yuyan's death, her nephew disappeared. ”

Huo Yu stood up, wandered around the room with his hands behind his back for a while, and said, "I want to discuss with everyone." "Walked to the door and instructed the maid to call Huo Shan, Huo Yun and Feng Zi. He was scared in his heart, feeling that these three people were the center of the Huo family, and he could discuss with them first.

After the three of them came, they sat down around the desk, and Huo Yu told him about it. Huo Shan, Huo Yun and Feng Zi were all stunned when they heard this.

Huo Xian still didn't care before, and when he saw their reaction like this, he was also a little worried, and his eyes stared directly at Feng Zidu. Huo Yu and the others also looked at Feng Zidu.

Feng Zidu pondered for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Is there any evidence left in Chun Yuyan's hands for this matter?" ”

Huo Xian thought and said, "No." I spoke to her in the inner room, and no one would hear; The aconite mixed in the medicine was found by herself. The things she brought into the harem were later regarded as bad luck along with other things in the harem, and the general ordered them to be burned. As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.

Seeing her like this, Huo Yu couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Huo Xian's voice trembled and said, "I gave Chun Yuyan a talisman. ”

"Fu Chuan? What runes? Several people asked in unison.

"Yes, yes, yesβ€”" Huo Xian stammered, and the more anxious he became, the more speechless he became.

Feng Zidu handed over a bowl of water and said softly, "Say it slowly." ”

Huo Xian took a sip of water, calmed down, and said: "Chun Yuyan was very scared after he was released, and said that he wanted to leave Chang'an with his nephew, and begged me to give her a talisman to pass through the pass. I wrote a customs clearance talisman with a silk towel and stamped it with the general's seal. She was very happy, put it away carefully, and said that she could use this talisman to pass through the world. ”

The room fell silent for a moment, and it seemed that they could hear each other's heartbeats. After a long time, Feng Zidu whispered: "Find Chun Yuji." ”

Huo Yu nodded again and again: "That customs clearance talisman must be in Chun Yuji's hands, and it must not be allowed to be obtained by others, this is evidence." Get up and greet Huo Shan, Huo Yun and hurry up to arrange the search.

Everyone left, the room was silent, and Feng Zi was expressionless, sitting upright like a statue.

After thinking about it, Huo Xian finally understood. If the emperor gets the evidence that the Huo family plotted to kill the late empress Xu Pingjun, he may destroy the Huo family at any time on this ground. She couldn't help but panic, crawled on her knees and pounced on Feng Zidu, sobbing in a low voice.

Feng Zidu hugged her gently, Huo Xian snuggled in his arms, and murmured: "Don't go, I'm afraid, accompany me." ”

This night, Huo Fu did not sleep.
