Chapter Eighty-Eight: Conspiracy

Feng Zidu pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, took a deep breath, and calmed down. Suddenly, someone in my ear said, "Feng Jun still has something to say, right?" "Looking back, it was Fan Minh You. Among the sons-in-law of the Huo family, Feng Zidu admires Fan Mingyou the most, thinking that this gentleman is clear-minded, brave and resourceful.

He smiled and did not answer, and Fan Minh You stopped talking. The two stood silently in a delicate atmosphere. After a long time, Feng Zidu said quietly: "Warm clothes and good food, I don't know that disaster is coming, sad." ”

Fan Mingyou was also emotional, and was about to reply, when he saw Deng Guanghan walking towards them, he greeted him with a smile and asked, "Why did you come out too." ”

Deng Guanghan replied: "It's boring in the house. ”

Feng Zidu's expression was solemn, as if he was thinking about something, and his eyes looked at them intentionally or unintentionally.

Fan Mingyou and Deng Guanghan were so overwhelmed by him, and it was inconvenient to ask, so they had to smirk at him.

Feng Zidu slowly fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he suddenly woke up, saw their confused expressions, and smiled slightly.

Fan Mingyou asked tentatively, "Feng Jun has thought of something. ”

Feng Zidu looked around, confirmed that there was no one else, opened his mouth to speak, hesitated again, and his eyes inadvertently fell on a hawthorn tree growing in a crack in the stone. The hawthorn tree bore some fruit, some green, some reddish, and some ripe. A small vole crawled on a tree, holding a red fruit in its two front paws, and was gnawing vigorously. He looked funny and couldn't help but smile.

Fan Minh You and Deng Guanghan didn't know why he was laughing, and as he looked out, they also found the little vole.

Feng Zidu sighed: "When the fruit is ripe, it will attract birds and beasts." After saying that, he turned his face with a stern expression, and said, "I have something to think about, and I want to discuss it with the two of you." This matter is very important, and it is related to the life and death of the Huo family. ”

Fan Mingyou and Deng Guanghan suddenly became nervous.

Feng Zidu looked at them with blazing eyes and said, "The Huo family's prominence lies in the fact that the monarchs and ministers know each other and respect each other. Do you think this state will last long? ”

Deng Guanghan shook his head: "It's enough." After the general, the emperor became more and more alienated from the Huo family, and also set up Liu Zheng as the crown prince, completely ignoring Empress Huo's feelings. Fan Minh Woo nodded in agreement.

"What I'm going to talk about today is the prince's business." Feng Zidu said.

Fan Mingyou and Deng Guanghan were stunned when they heard this.

"Liu Zheng is the crown prince, just like a thorn in Huo's heart, if you don't pull it out, there will be no peace. And poisoning Xu Pingjun back then also became meaningless. Feng Zidu said.

Fan Mingyou opened his mouth thoughtfully, as if he wanted to interject.

Feng Zidu stretched out his hand and motioned to listen to him finish speaking: "Back then, Mrs. tried her best to make Chengjun the queen, just because she wanted to have a prince, then she was the prince, and the Huo family was a relative, and she could enjoy wealth and nobility for generations." However, before Chengjun gave birth to a prince, the emperor canonized Liu Zheng, the son of Xu Pingjun, as the crown prince and handed it over to Wang Jieyu to raise. A hundred years after the emperor, Liu Zheng ascended the throne, will he still respect Chengjun as the queen mother? The general has the merit of supporting the establishment, and Liu Yi has been alienated from the Huo family. This Liu Zheng, is our Huo family counting on it? ”

"Then what's the solution, Queen Huo has never given birth, so she can only watch Liu Zheng be made the crown prince." Deng Guanghan said helplessly, and sighed again: "Even if Empress Huo gives birth, there is an order of eldest and younger, and it is not so easy to replace it." ”

"What would happen if there wasn't this Liu Zheng?" Feng Zidu seemed to say casually.

Deng Guanghan was stunned when he heard this, and stammered: "What, what do you mean." Fan Mingyou was shocked in his heart, but he kept silent, paying close attention to Feng Zidu's expression, and secretly wondered, a few days ago, Mrs. said that she would kill Liu Zheng, and sure enough.

Feng Zidu's face did not change, as if he was saying something ordinary: "That's what it means." I think you two are old and serious, and you are the guards of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, so I will discuss it with you first. ”

"We're no longer the Captains of the Two Palaces." Deng Guanghan shouted, and muttered in a low voice: "The Huo family still has so many sons and nephews, why bother us to come forward." ”

"Although we are not surnamed Huo, who in the world would think that we are not the Huo family. What I am talking about today is for the long-term planning of the Huo family's wealth. Except for Liu Zheng, why should we worry about anything. Seeing this situation, the ministers of the DPRK and China will inevitably take refuge in our Huo Mansion. Feng Zidu said excitedly, and a layer of blush appeared on his pale face.

Fan Mingyou glared at Deng Guanghan, turned to Feng Zidu, and said sincerely: "Feng Jun, you speak slowly, we will all listen to you." The general treats us like a mountain, and we also know how to repay our kindness, and we are the son-in-law of the Huo family, we understand this truth. ”

Feng Zidu nodded, agreed, and said, "You can also guess that what I want to talk to you about is how to plan to get rid of Liu Zheng, the prince." ”

Fan Mingyou thought to himself that Feng Zidu should discuss with Madame Xian and Empress Huo. I hurt my mother back then, and I hurt my son today, a queen, a prince. The so-called wealth and danger are nothing more than this.

Feng Zidu saw that the two of them were holding their breath and listening to him, showing a relieved smile, and then smiled, and said: "Liu Zheng is still living in Changle Palace with Wang Jieyu, and has not yet moved to the Taigong. The eunuch leader Da Changqiu and the palace maid leader female imperial chief of the Jiaofang Hall of Changle Palace were both cronies of the general who were placed in the palace back then, intending to protect Queen Huo. They are loyal to the Huo family and can be driven. You will find these two and plan together how to destroy this little prince. Don't let Empress Huo know about this for the time being, so as not to worry about it. Moreover, if the matter fails, it can also avoid implicating Queen Huo. ”

Speaking of "avoiding implicating Empress Huo", Feng Zidu's expression was gloomy. Fan Mingyou saw it in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart that Chun Yu hadn't done it yet, and he was going to murder the prince again. If things fail, the Huo family, who can get out of it, can't help but feel melancholy. Although he thought so, he still made up his mind to live and die with the Huo family and share his fate.

He glanced up at Deng Guanghan and felt that Deng Guanghan also thought the same as him, so he took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. However, his heart was still worried, and his fingers kept shaking unconsciously, and he suddenly remembered that he had never been so nervous in the face of thousands of Xiongnu troops, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Feng Zidu noticed the expressions of the two, bit his lip, his gaze slowly swept over the two of them, and fell on Deng Guanghan's face, then grinned and said, "Although this matter is dangerous, there is still a great chance of success." Guanghan, as a Changxin Shaofu, should act cheaply. ”

Deng Guanghan said with a bitter face: "There are a lot of waiters around the prince, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take his life."

Feng Zidu said: "It's best if you can take his life, otherwise it's better to cripple him." You think, how can a sick child be a prince. If something happens to Liu Zheng, the emperor's mind will be chaotic, and he naturally has no time to take care of a few things. Our Huo clan is the auxiliary government of the dynasty, and the main middle palace, so we are worry-free. With that, he became agitated again, and his cheeks flushed.

Fan Mingyou and Deng Guanghan looked at each other, but there was no excitement. Feng Zidu was a little embarrassed, and the three of them fell silent for a while. Suddenly, I heard someone calling, and following the sound, Huo Shan stood at the door of the back hall and beckoned to them, shouting: "The wine and food have been delivered, come in quickly." ”

Feng Zidu shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, and solemnly cared for Deng Guanghan and Fan Mingyou: "Only the three of us know about this matter at the moment, if it succeeds, we will inform them." Deng Guanghan and Fan Mingyou nodded and agreed, and went back to the house together.

Huo Yu saw them coming in, beckoned them to sit down, and said, "I thought about it again just now, although the emperor just warned us, we should not take it lightly. I think the top priority is still the position of the crown prince. The little sister became the queen, but unfortunately she has not yet given birth to a prince, if there is a prince, she can be canonized as the prince and ascend the throne in the future, this world really can't tell whether it is the Liu family or the Huo family. However, the emperor actually canonized Liu Zheng as the crown prince so early, what did he want. ”

Huo Yun nodded yes and said, "It's obvious that we just can't get along with our Huo family." We can't wait for someone to clean it up. ”

Fan Mingyou thought to himself: "This Huo Yu and Huo Yun are not stupid. ”

Feng Zidu said: "This matter can't be rushed, I have my own arrangements." At present, the Huo family must be restrained, and there must be no more outrageous behaviors. If it causes discussion among the government and the opposition, the emperor will take the opportunity to suppress us. ”

Huo Yu thought for a while and said, "What Feng Jun said is very true, the matter of Chun Yu has not yet been concluded, and we must not wait for another incident." Then he raised his glass and shouted, "Come, cheers." Everyone raised their glasses and drank them, and Huo Yun and the others frolicked.

Fan Mingyou asked Feng Zidu softly: "Why don't you tell them." Feng Zidu glanced coldly: "There is not enough success, and there is more than failure." ”

Huo Yun seemed to be aware of it, turned his head and glanced at this side, thoughtfully.
