"Father, the one in the other courtyard had a high fever yesterday, and the child didn't go back, I don't know what you ordered the child to go home?"

Chen Jian'an approached Chen Shilang's side before the emperor came, and asked in a low voice.

Chen Shilang glared at him fiercely and flicked his sleeves.

"What's the matter, it was also yesterday, what's the use of asking me again today? I can't control you now, you have to decide for yourself, why bother to tell me! ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked to the side of his familiar colleague, making it clear that he didn't want to deal with him anymore.

Chen Jian'an reluctantly retreated to his position, and after the beginning of the early dynasty, he handed the emperor a fold.

No one knew what was written on the excerpt, but after reading the excerpt, the emperor showed an expression that seemed to be happy and dissatisfied, and then hurriedly dispersed, leaving Chen Jian'an alone.

Not long after, an inconspicuous carriage outside the palace was personally taken into the palace by the Imperial Guards.

General Huo was not defeated and captured, but he was not a criminal, if it weren't for the safety of his life, Chen Jian'an would not have to be so cautious.

If he saw that the emperor had recovered his identity, he would not be afraid that Xichang would attack him in secret, so in the afternoon, General Huo walked out of the palace wearing imperial armor and coming out of the palace openly.

"Hey, have you heard? The general Huo, who was captured by the enemy, is back! ”

"I've heard that the old general's life is really big, he can come back with all his beards and tails when he is caught by the barbarians, I heard that the barbarian Ru Mao drank blood, he killed so many people, and he didn't even want his life?"

"Hey, he's a general, and I've heard that the soldiers at the border pass are obedient to him, and the barbarian may want to keep him as a hostage.

But he is really miserable, even an only daughter also died, do you say that he has done too much murder and has been punished? ”

"Who can say for sure, tsk tsk, it's going to be broken, and it's a sin to come back alive."

As soon as General Huo came out of the palace, news spread throughout the market that he had returned to Beijing.

Chen Jian'an, who was riding on horseback, heard these discussions, and immediately wanted to dismount and teach them a lesson!

It makes no sense that General Huo is full of loyalty and spills his blood for the country at the border pass, but the people he protects with his life slander him so much behind his back!

He was rarely so angry, and now the back of my hand with this rein was bruised, and you can see how indignant he was.

But in the next second, his action of wanting to dismount was stopped by General Huo on the side.

General Huo pulled his arm behind him and shook his head at him, with no joy or sadness on his face.

Chen Jian'an hesitated for a moment and did not dismount.

The General's Mansion has been deserted since Huo Xiangjun died, and no one has lived in it for a long time, although the emperor has ordered someone to clean it, but there is still no one to live in two or three days.

Chen Jian'an brought General Huo into his house and asked Jiang Fu to help him arrange the guest room.

"General, those people are short-sighted and narrow-minded, so they like to talk about some short gossip in their parents, don't take it to heart."

Afraid that the words just now would chill General Huo's heart, Chen Jian'an hurriedly comforted him after sitting down.

Jiang Fu took the tea, looked at General Huo's pale face with fatigue, and put the tea in front of him.

"The old man doesn't care."

General Huo raised his eyes to look at Chen Jian'an, there was not a trace of nostalgia and bitterness in his resolute eyes, Chen Jian'an was stunned for a moment, and then he really believed that he didn't take the words he heard just now to heart.

Chen Jian'an smiled bitterly and said:

"Yes, it is the younger generation who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the general is broad-minded, and he will not be as knowledgeable as ordinary people."

General Huo shook his head when he heard this.

"It's not that there is no knowledge, but in the face of life and death, the ugliness of human nature will be exposed, and these old men have seen too much ugliness of human nature.

But on the contrary, there are too many people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness and sacrifice their lives for the country, where there are people, there will be good people and bad people, and we can't let the good people be disappointed because of a small number of bad people who have no conscience.

Some people scolded the old man in the capital for killing people like he deserved retribution, and some people walked dozens of miles in the northwest just to send the old man a few eggs saved at home.

Some people are not stained with the light of the old man, but with the light of those kind people, if this is the good people in the world are all dead, only some heartless things are left, the old man will be killed headlong, and he will not care whether they live or die! ”

Jiang Fu almost couldn't help but applaud him when she heard this.

Look at what this old guy said, what it means is: Lao Tzu is just protecting the kind innocent people, and those dogs are piggybacking hands, Lao Tzu doesn't treat them as human beings at all, and he doesn't care what their dogs are called.

No wonder people can be generals in this court where traitors are rampant, but if the psychological quality is a little worse, it is easy to open the city gate and let the enemy come in and slaughter the city.

After General Huo finished speaking, thinking of His Majesty's performance in the Qinzheng Palace today, he frowned, and said in a dissatisfied tone:

"Your Majesty's attitude today is unclear, but I am afraid that I don't want to severely punish Xichang."

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, after General Huo explained to His Majesty that someone had collaborated with the enemy in the northwest defeat, he did not arrest Yan Mingxi on the spot, but did not press it, saying that he would send someone to verify.

If he really wanted to investigate, it would be fine, but he didn't send Dongchang to investigate, but instead sent Dali Temple to cooperate with the Royal Forest Army to investigate.

If you want to say that whoever can check the West Factory can find out the most iron-faced, selfless, and thorough, it must be the East Factory, the two are incompatible and check each other, only the East Factory is not afraid of Yan Mingxi's power, and will check him to death.

But the emperor didn't let Dongchang go!

In addition to wanting to shield Yan Mingxi, General Huo really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"Maybe Your Majesty doesn't want to break the balance of the current court, and rest assured, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a big crime, even if Your Majesty can't move him for a while, it will definitely be strictly investigated, and then liquidated together."

But he didn't feel relieved when he said this, but looked at him with deep eyes, and then shook his head.

"I hope so."

Jiang Fu listened to everything on the side, and contacted his father that night, with one main purpose, to find a way to attack the West Factory!

The emperor didn't want to break the balance of the imperial court, but he knew what the Zhang family and the East and West Second Factory were doing, so while cultivating Chen Jian'an, he also suppressed the case of the Zhang family and the West Factory.

But not dealing with it doesn't mean that you don't care, if you don't care, you won't snub Zhang Guifei for a long time.

What Jiang Guangyao has to do now is to find the lead that completely detonates the dissatisfaction in the emperor's heart, as long as there is a little fire, he can blow Yan Mingxi and Governor Zhang into the sky together!

Yan Mingxi was summoned by the emperor alone once since General Huo faced the saint, and then he was a man with his tail between his legs.

The whole west factory is cautious, so that people can't grasp the handle.

Fortunately, luck still favored Chen Jian'an's side, and soon the opportunity they were waiting for came.
