Chapter 146 Caution
Huo Guang investigated everything so clearly, what did he want to do? Cheng Mo opened his thin lips lightly and said again: "People say something if you have something to do."
If you have something to say, please tell me, if you don’t have something to do, please give me instructions.
Huo Guang was cautious by nature and had to be prepared for anything he did. When Cheng Mo first attracted Emperor Zhao's attention, he investigated Cheng Mo all over the previous three generations, and then focused on investigating what had happened in the past few months and why the same person had such a big change.
Everyone said that Cheng Wulang had suffered a head injury, which caused a major change in temperament. Not only did he quit gambling, he also got a strange picture from somewhere and made an official hat and chair.
Some neighbors in the small courtyard also said vividly that Cheng Wulang's parents showed up and advised him to quit gambling and passed him a drawing of an official hat and chair. Otherwise, why did he have such a big change?
There are many different opinions and no consensus, and Huo Guang is also a little confused.
But Cheng Mo was trusted and relied on Emperor Zhao day by day, which made Huo Guang feel more and more threatened. From the ineffective warning to calling him over and talking to him, there were too many unknown considerations.
After listening to Cheng Mo's inquiry again, Huo Guang looked straight ahead, and after a while, he said, "I am the senior official who was entrusted by the late emperor."
This is a sign of identity. If you mention Emperor Wu's entrusts his orphan again, you can naturally interfere with Emperor Zhao's friendship. It is roughly equivalent to: your father asked me to take care of you before his death, and I can't let you do anything randomly.
Even Emperor Zhao was going to be taken care of by him, let alone Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo suddenly understood his implicit voice and said, "Your Majesty's blue eyes, Xuan Cheng went to Xuan's room to speak many times. But he just talked about some interesting rural news and did not involve political affairs."
Cheng Mo also felt obedient and immediately expressed that he had no intention of replacing him.
Huo Guang smiled rare, his smile was very light, and he flashed and said, "Your Majesty is about to take power soon."
Once this is said, there is no need to say anything.
Although you have no intention of taking me for substitution, the emperor's favor for you will definitely let you take me for substitution. Once the emperor is a minister, the emperor will naturally have to use his own team. He can rest assured to his own people.
Cheng Mo straightened his back, stared at Huo Guang for a while, and said, "How can the general trust Cheng?"
Speaking of this, everyone opens the skylight and speaks brightly. How do you want to guarantee your own interests and protect your tribe members? You might as well say it directly.
Huo Guangdao: "I need your surrender."
"?" Cheng Mo looked ignorant.
"You are favored by Your Majesty in your youth, and your ability is extraordinary. Why not be as a teacher and learn some saints' articles." Huo Guang was still speaking very slowly, but every word shocked the servant who was like an invisible man in the corner of the house.
Alang actually offered to ask the young man to take him as his teacher. What does this mean? He looked at Cheng Mo with a constant expression and his face was shocked.
Cheng Mo's face was calm, but he was very surprised, and a huge wave was stirred up in his heart. Unexpectedly, Huo Guang wanted to be a master and apprentice! His so-called apprenticeship was of course very different from what Emperor Zhao said about apprenticeship and learning chess. This is a way to connect the interests of both parties and a guarantee that Huo Guang would seek for his future.
Everyone in the world respects his teachers. With this relationship between the two, if Emperor Zhao wants to attack Huo Guang in the future, Cheng Mo will be able to protect him. And Emperor Zhao's emphasis on Cheng Mo is almost inevitable.
On the other hand, Huo Guang was in power and Cheng Mo could get great benefits when he was appointed as his teacher. However, everyone in the court knew that Cheng Mo was the number one celebrity before Emperor Zhao. Therefore, Huo Guang's apprentice was not as important as he thought, and he was not as glorious as the emperor and the former celebrity.
Unless Huo Guang wants to take Emperor Zhao and replace him, he usurped the throne and relied on his own, and he took the risk of raiding his family and extermination. With his cautious nature, how could he do such a thing?
Who is Cheng Mo? He didn't get involved in the officialdom in his previous life, but the mall was also turbulent and rushing. He saw through Huo Guang's plan at once. He smiled and said, "The General is very grateful. Cheng is just a young man, and Cheng has no skill, so he cannot gain His Majesty's trust."
Who knows that Emperor Zhao would not like me one day? You now recognize me as an apprentice, wouldn’t you suffer a loss? Cheng Mo saw through Huo Guang’s cautious nature. Any cautious person must make a plan for one thing repeatedly, and must take everything into consideration and have no risks before he can make a decision and start taking action.
Sure enough, Huo Guang was like an old monk entering into meditation, closing his eyes slightly, and silently.
Cheng Mo probably was measuring gains and losses again, holding back his smile, and making sadness.
The conversation between the two took a long time. The sun was slanting outside the window, and the light inside was not as bright as when Cheng Mo first came in.
Just as Cheng Mo began to listen to the wind outside, guessing whether the wind blew the leaves or whether the wind blew over which plant, Huo Guang opened his eyes again and stared at Cheng Mo and said, "Your Majesty is really hard to determine. Let's just say it. Since that's the case, you go back."
"General!" Cheng Mo looked anxious and said, "Maybe Your Majesty will look at Cheng differently."
He seemed to be in a state of being unable to miss the opportunity, and he would never come again, and he would have to be his teacher.
But after Huo Guang's measurement, he still felt that Emperor Zhao was too home and could not be interested in someone for a long time. Although he didn't know what methods Cheng Mo used to win Emperor Zhao's favor, Emperor Zhao's essence would not change. Now that he accepted Cheng Mo's disciple, he would not be favored in the future. Wouldn't he have suffered heavy losses and be laughed at by others?
Huo Guang is unwilling to take any risks in his personal future.
"You are right. Your Majesty is indeed a young man's character. In two years, let's talk about your Majesty's character after you have a certain personality." Huo Guang no longer had any interest in Cheng Mo talking and signaled the servant in the corner of the room to lead Cheng Mo out.
"General..." Cheng Mo made a whole show, beating his chest and stamping his feet, regretting his mistakes, and trying to get back to his words.
The servant came over and said, "Goro, please come here."
The eunuch who had just gone to find Cheng Mo was waiting outside, and the servant told him to take Cheng Mo out.
The little eunuch saw Cheng Mo staying in Huo Guang's house for a long time, looking at him in awe and leading the way respectfully.
It was not until he left General Huo's office, thanked the young eunuch, and turned around the corner that Cheng Mo laughed silently. He really wanted to laugh out loud, Huo Guang was too cautious. A word could affect his decision. I really don't know how he made decisions in politics.
However, it is precisely his cautious nature that can help people live a life and national strength gradually recover.
Cheng Mo happily left the palace and returned home. Manager Hua had been waiting for a long time and asked where Fuyuchun's shop was located.
"Xingyetang has closed down. The meaning of Manager Cheng is to take over this store as Fuyuchun's store." Manager Hua is undecided about Manager Cheng's proposal. In Shangyan, the decoration of Xingyetang is indeed suitable for placing official hats and chairs, but it has not been operated for the past month. I wonder if the decoration will be dilapidated?
Cheng Mo said: "You should remind customers that the quality of the official hat chairs made by Fuyuchun is as bad as Xingyetang?"
