Chapter 177
As soon as Zhao Yufei entered the backyard, she ran in happily to report that a servant asked for Cheng Mo and said that General Huo had invited him, which scared Zhao Yufei.
She wanted to wash and change a set of clothes for guests, but she was worried that she would leave a bad impression on people for too long. At that time, General Huo would wear Cheng Mo's shoes. But what she wore was daily clothes, which were not solemn enough.
Gouzi was also frightened and said incoherently: "He said he wanted to see Alang... Oh, no, he said General Huo asked Alang to come over, oh..."
Emotions are contagious. The dog is so confused that Zhao Yufei is even more nervous and can't help but feel at a loss. Gu Paner is used to seeing the nobles and nobles, and makes his heart clear and said, "No matter how powerful General Huo is, he doesn't come. This person is just a servant, why should he be afraid of him?"
"No, if you offend him, how can you say bad things about Goro in front of General Huo?" Zhao Yufei was so worried.
While talking, a cup of tea passed. The servant was left at the gate, and he didn't think it was wrong. Cheng Wulang was a man who even General Huo had to flatter him. He was jogging for a while and was left at the gate. What's the point? But what happened that people kept running through the gate in the yard? He was right, were those people running out to peek at him?
The servant was puzzled.
In the backyard, Gu Paner looked at the hourglass and was anxious and said, "If my sister changes her clothes again, she will change her clothes long ago. Such delays are really not a solution. I'll accompany you to take a look."
With Gu Pan'er accompanying him, Zhao Yufei felt much more at ease. The two walked to the door and the servant bowed and said, "General Huo asked Wulang to go over immediately and discuss important matters."
How come two women come out? What about Cheng Wulang?
The two girls hurriedly returned the greetings. Zhao Yufei then remembered that she had not asked Cheng Mo to get up. She was not good at responding to the situation and had to look at Gu Paner.
Gu Paner felt sorry for Cheng Mo and didn't sleep all night. After receiving a signal from Zhao Yufei for help, he smiled and said, "Please wait for a while, Guy, Goro will come over immediately."
The servant was so scared that he shook his hands around and said, "I dare not take it. The young man just passed on a word, so I will say goodbye."
The words are just coming. Whether or not to offend Cheng Mo is serious.
The two girls didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, and they were both stunned. Zhao Yufei said, "Please go back first. I'll just take someone to invite Goro, go there immediately, go there immediately."
This flattering tone made the servant very uncomfortable. He didn't know how to agree, so he had to run away in panic.
Cheng Mo was woken up and learned that Huo Guang and Huo Shuhan had sent someone to invite him. He looked at Zhao Yufei's angry young wife and smiled bitterly: "You don't have to be too self-deprecating. General Huo also has two eyes and one nose, which is no different from ordinary people."
Zhao Yufei blushed when she heard Huo Guang's name. When Gu Pan'er heard another sitting in the wing room, she said strangely: "What did you do? Why did they both look for you?"
"It's nothing, it's just helping him eliminate his political opponents. Well, by the way, he saved his clan, and his married eldest daughter and granddaughter." Cheng Mo said lightly, but his tone was proud. It's necessary to praise him in front of his own women.
It’s all like this? Zhao Yufei and Gu Paner were shocked.
After finishing washing, Cheng Mo called Wangcai over and made an appointment to see Huo Shuhan tomorrow. After sending him away, he went to Huo Guang's office wing.
Huo Guang was very busy, not only to eliminate Shangguan Jie's remnants, but also to appease the centrists, and consolidate the existing forces. He took the time to let Cheng Mo pass by, which shows the weight of Cheng Mo in his heart.
In the corridor of the courtyard, many officials were waiting to be summoned. When Cheng Mo came, they didn't care. Until the servant came up and said, "Wulang, please." They all stared at each other. They had been waiting here for a long time, and they didn't see anyone asking them to come in. Besides, who can afford the word "please" in front of General Huo?
Once Shangguan Jie fell, Huo Guang would take over the power. He is an old man who is doing well in the officialdom. Who wouldn’t be too concerned about currying favor?
Cheng Mo smiled brightly and said, "The General asked someone to come here, I don't know why?"
The one who came to meet was the servant who invited the minister of the mansion. He was very respectful to Cheng Mo and said, "I don't know."
Huo Guangzheng talked to the person and had to report Cheng Mo to come. He hurriedly sent the person out and asked Cheng Mo to come in. Seeing that Cheng Mo was about to salute, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty once said that Wulang has made great contributions this time, and I dare not accept Wulang's tribute."
Cheng Mo respectfully bowed and said, "The General was joking. Cheng is just a boy who knows nothing. How can he be worthy of His Majesty's evaluation?"
Huo Guang was extremely helpful and asked Cheng Mo to sit down and said, "A few days ago, I asked Goro to take my teacher as my teacher, but Goro refused. At this time, the old thing was brought up again. Can Goro still be willing?"
Cheng Mo listened to his kind words like the spring breeze, and his hair stood up. Huo Guang's fate was not good. He was too close to him and was afraid that he would be implicated one day. But now he mentioned this again, clearly asking Cheng Mo to take the side. Now the only Shangguan Jie who can compete with him has been destroyed and no one can stop him anymore.
If he didn't accept the olive branch he extended, he would be afraid that he would not be able to see the historical fact that his clan members were exterminated. Cheng Mo stood up, gave a great gift, and said, "Thank you General Qingyan."
This is the promise. As for what to learn, it doesn’t matter. What is important is to connect with each other in one way and become a community of interests.
Huo Guang was very satisfied and said, "The next year, Wulang will perform the crown ceremony, and I will give you a crown."
A man's ceremony of a crown is adulthood, so it is naturally very grand. He should ask a respected person to add a crown and make a statement. If he can invite General Huo, who is powerful in the court, it is no need to say that it is a great honor.
He did not mention the ceremony of apprenticeship or claim to be a master. Cheng Mo did not mention it either. He smiled and thanked him, and then said goodbye. When he walked through the yard, there was a buzzing sound behind him, and there were some envious people, jealous people, and there were some disapprovals. Cheng Mo couldn't care about so many things and went to Xuanshi Hall.
To facilitate the reporting, Huo Guang's public veranda is not far from Xuanshi Hall.
Emperor Zhao handed Cheng Mo a list: "Huo Zimeng wants to deal with these people."
Cheng Mo was quite surprised and said, "Your Majesty is careful that there are ears across the wall."
After all, Huo Guang was a senior official of the late emperor. In order to show respect, Emperor Zhao never called him a name, but called him a noble person.
Emperor Zhao curled his lips. It was not until this time that he understood Cheng Mo's previous good intentions, but now it is too late to say anything.
Cheng Mo looked at the list, and it was not surprising that if Huo Guang did not take this opportunity to eliminate the differences, when would he clear them? However, there were a few people on the list who were great scholars of the times, and it was a pity that they were ruthless.
"Your Majesty must be patient and accumulate strength." Cheng Mo persuaded in a low voice.
No one can regain power, and it is a false saying that it is.
Emperor Zhao sighed and said, "You are very honest."
