Chapter 299
After five days of vacation, Cheng Mo went to court to take office and did not notice anyone peeking outside the mansion.
After the court was dispersed, Liu Xun returned to Xuanshi Hall, and Xuan Cheng Mo went over at the same time, and the two sat and talked to each other. A quarter of an hour later, Huo Guang came over, and Liu Xun stood up to greet the door, so Cheng Mo had no choice but to do it.
Huo Guang held his head straight in. Seeing Cheng Mo present, he glanced at him and said, "If you have something to do, go and do it."
This is to help him out.
Cheng Mo politely said to Liu Xun: "I will leave."
A look of unwillingness flashed in Liu Xun's eyes, nodded, and said nothing. As an emperor, he couldn't help but keep his ministers talking. What's the fun of being such an emperor?
Cheng Mo walked out of Xuanshi Hall, stood in the yard, looked up at the azure blue sky for a while, and turned around and left. His public wing was the yard of Liu Taofu, where he usually worked.
After a while, Zhang Qing came over, looked at no one around, and said, "Father, let me tell you that Mrs. Huo was moved."
Yesterday, Duke An went to the General's Mansion again and received a letter from him. He specially asked Zhang Qing to say something to Cheng Mo.
It was really serviceable. Cheng Mo said, "I understand, please be careful these days."
Don't expose your feet.
Cheng Mo left the palace before the palace gate was closed and went straight back to the mansion. A pear seller squatted not far from the gate, putting a basket of pears at his feet, staring at the gate with his eyes straight.
At this time, I haven't returned home yet. If you are not a spy, there is a ghost. Cheng Mo curled the corners of his lips and asked Heizi to buy the pear: "You guys quench your thirst."
When the vendor heard that he wanted to buy all the pears in his basket, his face looked horrified and said, "There is only so much left today. If the guest wants it, I will pick more tomorrow."
If he bought them all, how could he stay here?
Heizi said, "It's not early, you sold it out early, and you went home early, which isn't good?" He threw down a piece of silver, picked up the basket and left.
The vendor was crying and tears. It was enough to buy ten baskets of pears for this piece of silver. How could he not sell them? But if he sold them, he could not monitor them here. What if Duke An came over tonight?
When Cheng Mo saw the expression on the vendor's face, he smiled, threw the reins to the elm tree, and went into the mansion.
Zhao Yufei has been hosting the gift at home in the mansion, and now she is a bride, so she is even more comfortable to make. Cheng Mo went home and the dishes were rich. The whole family sat around for dinner and went to the garden to have a cool cool. Cheng Mo was idle and teased his daughter.
The little girl can walk. Although she stumbling, she doesn't want anyone to hug her and walk around the ground.
Cheng Mo named her Cheng Jia, nicknamed Jia Jia.
There were some fruits and fruits on the table, and the water was boiling on the small mud stove. Cheng Mo made tea with a copper pot in his hand, and the tea fragrance was everywhere. Gu Pan'er called his daughter and asked her to give it to Cheng Mo.
The peach was a little big, and Xiao Jiajia held it with both hands, but it was a little unsteady. She took two steps, fell off once, bent down and picked it up again, took two more steps, fell off again, and when she walked in front of Cheng Mo, the peach had already rotted and the surface was bumpy.
"Give it." Jia Jia stretched out her hands and handed the peach to Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo was washing the cup, but did not take it in time. Xiao Jiajia put the peach at his father's feet and turned around and ran away. She ran a few steps, hid behind her mother, and poked her little head out to look at Cheng Mo.
Everyone was amused by her.
Cheng Mo also laughed, picked up the peaches on the ground and put them on the table, waved to his daughter: "Come here."
Seeing that his father was not angry, Xiao Jiajia walked over slowly.
Cheng Mo picked her up, kissed her on her little face, and gave her peach: "Take it out for fun."
If it is so broken, it is impossible to eat.
The back garden of the Yongchang Hou Mansion was in a state of joy, but the general's upper room was silent. Huo Guang locked himself in the study room, and no one saw him. He was driven out of the verdict and was in the corridor.
The followers all knew that something was going to happen.
Huo Guangji put a few bamboo slips in front of the case, one of which said that the Yongchang Hou Mansion was purchased from the mansion to buy vegetables. One hour later, the vegetable vendor sent half a truck of meat and vegetables into the mansion, and then no one came in and out in the morning. In the morning, two officials came to visit, but they didn't see each other, and they didn't even enter the mansion.
This is a day when people come and visit the Yongchang Hou Mansion.
In theory, Cheng Mo was deeply favored by Liu Xun, and all the civil and military officials in the court should be flattered. But this is not the case. First, Cheng Mo did not have the hobby of forming cliques, and second, Huo Guang is in power now, and even Liu Xun is worried that the throne will not be guaranteed all day long. Which court officials who are used to changing hands take him seriously? Since he doesn't take him seriously, he will naturally not curry favor with Cheng Mo. Therefore, Cheng Mo's life is relatively calm.
Huo Guang looked at the rolls of bamboo slips in front of him, frowned tightly.
For several days, Duke An Guo’s carriage did not appear outside the Yongchang Marquis’ Mansion. Cheng Mo either did not leave the house or went out of the palace to return home. Huo Guang couldn’t help but wonder, was he really thinking too much? Should he really retreat and hand over the power?
He was unwilling to give up.
It was another sleepless night. The next day, he went to court with two dark circles. He fell asleep unknowingly during the court. Liu Xun called him twice before he woke up.
"General Huo is old." Many court officials thought so.
Cheng Mo thought to himself, it depends on how long you can hold on.
The power of the subconscious, or the power of self-suggestion, is very great. Huo Xian talks in Huo Guang's ear every day, asking him to retire, otherwise he would have to live for three years. These words have taken root in Huo Guang's heart as part of the subconscious.
His body faithfully began to operate according to the goal of "living only three years".
In fact, he did live to be sixty-one, only three years.
Huo Guang returned to Gongwu and picked up a memorial, but he unknowingly fell asleep. In addition, he was often unsatisfied and unsatisfied recently, so he couldn't help asking himself: "Am I really old?"
In fact, even young people suffer from insomnia all night, and they will fall asleep the next day, and they will fall asleep while sitting still.
On this day, his memorial was not approved. He wanted to take it home and continue to comment, but he fell asleep on several tables. The pen fell on his legs and a large stain fell on his robe.
After three days like this, he called Cheng Mo over.
This time, Cheng Mo was very honest and sat down after saluting.
"Wuron, I am old, and there are so many descendants in my family that I can't be good at it. I hope you can support me." Huo Guang's eyes lost their former glory. He looked at Cheng Mo and yawned as he spoke.
He has been sleeping thirsty recently and just wants to sleep for a while. He has suffered from insomnia for several consecutive days and can't hold on.
"My father-in-law is still young, why do you say this?" Cheng Mo was surprised and pretended.
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "As long as Your Majesty protects my entire clan, I will retire."
You can't hold on! Cheng Mo smiled in his heart, but on the surface he looked surprised and heartbroken, and said, "Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and you still need your support. Please ask your father-in-law to help His Majesty for a few more years."
As the saying goes, if you help the horse and send it off, you can't just help the horse, no matter where the horse runs.
Huo Guang shook his head with a wry smile. He supported him for a few more years, but he was afraid that he would turn into bones.
