The flower garden is one of the four major tranches in the capital. The girls here are outstanding in appearance, graceful in shape, and are accustomed to serving people. Their consumption is naturally very high. They really spend money like soil. Those who can consume here are either nobles and nobles or powerful people.

It was already dark now, and two big red lanterns hanging high in front of the door illuminated the men coming in and out. Some of them came in groups of three or two, and some met each other at the door, chattered each other and then put their arms in. The turtle man smiled so much that his eyes were gone, and he kept nodding and bowing, and welcomed the guests in.

The second floor is decorated with gorgeously decorated rooms. Some doors are closed, and men or hearty laughter can be heard from time to time, while women's delicate voices are heard from the half-closed room.

The corridor leading to these rooms is covered with thick carpets. Walking on it, there is no sound at all. Sometimes guests walk by with their arms and dressed up girls. Some exposed maids hold red paint trays with their hands, and there are all kinds of wine, snacks and food on the tray.

The room on the left at the end of the corridor was closed, and a thin man in his forties sat alone and drank. A charming woman next to her held a wine pot and refuted the man from time to time. The man kneaded the woman with one hand and used his strength to use it. The woman gasped quietly.

Someone outside the door whispered: "Is Zhang Shisanlang here?"

The man tilted his mouth towards the woman, and the woman got up obediently to open the door. There was only a thin layer of gauze on her body. As she walked, the waves on her chest were surging, and the two cherries appeared and made people salivate. As soon as the door opened, the eyes of the person outside the door suddenly widened, staring at the woman, and could no longer move his eyes.

The woman was used to rolling in the wind and dust, and had long seen the man's expression. She flew to the man with a charming look and said, "My husband, please come in."

The man stepped inside, took two steps, looked back at the woman, and the lights in the corridor shone on the man's face. Isn't it Huo Guang's fourth son, Huo Yu?

The door was closed behind him, and the middle-aged man sitting and drinking had already stood up to greet him, and smiled and said, "Silang is late, so he should be punished." He said to the woman who followed him, "Go out, you must not come in without being called."

Half of the guests who came here really wanted beauty, and half used sex as a medium to discuss business and make friends with each other. Judging from this situation, the two of them clearly used sex as a medium to find a place to talk. The woman responded obediently, bowed her knees and left, and did not forget to explain to the maid who came to eat when she left the door.

Huo Yu sat opposite the middle-aged man, his face turned cold and said, "Zhang Taichang asked me to meet at the flower garden, why?"

The man's name is Zhang Mian, and he is now Taichang. Taichang is in charge of the affairs of the ancestral temple, with a large number of institutions and a large number of personnel. People in this era attached much importance to the affairs of ghosts and gods. The Wu Dynasty also governed the country with filial piety, and the ancestral temple sacrifices were the most despised. Therefore, although Taichang was not responsible for daily administrative affairs, he was the leader of the nine ministers. In addition to the general and the prime minister, he was the first person in the dynasty.

He is Huo Guang's man, and he is loyal to Huo Guang and ambitious. If it weren't for his ambitions, Huo Guang felt that he was not obedient, and the position of prime minister would not be Su Zhi, but his.

When Huo Guang retired, he entrusted his confidants to serve the current emperor with great care and not to have any disagreement towards the emperor just because the emperor was young. They first begged Huo Guang to continue to take power and not to return the power to the emperor. After failing, they expressed their willingness to follow Huo Guang's instructions and be loyal to the emperor.

After Huo Guang refused to hear about the political affairs, there were people who obeyed the contract and were loyal to Liu Xun, but people like Zhang Mian realized that the court was about to undergo a major change. Either the emperor cleaned Huo Guang's old subordinates, or the emperor was unsuspecting to appoint Huo Guang's old subordinates. If this was the case, it would be best. What he wanted was to go further and take the position of Su Zhi.

What he didn't expect was that he was still observing and before he could take action, news of Su Zhi's illness came out. Su Zhi's illness came out strangely. He used the excuse to visit the disease and failed to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor could he see Su Zhi. At the same time, various news flew around and could not tell whether it was true or false. Therefore, he asked Huo Yu to come to know the situation from him so that he could take further action.

Huo Yu is Huo Guang's favorite young son, but since Huo Guang retreated, his glory no longer existed, and a depressed aura in his heart could not disappear. He often lingers in the yard. When he receives his post, he naturally wants to go to the banquet.

"Does you have to ask Silang to have something to drink together?" Zhang Mian smiled and poured the wine glass in front of Huo Yu, saying, "I haven't seen Silang for many days, I wonder what I'm busy with recently?"

It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Huo Yu complained. He used to be the son of General Huo, who was powerful in the court and the country, so who wouldn't be able to curry favor with him? Now that Huo Guang has retreated, the tea is cold, and the old subordinates are in love again. It is impossible for him to ask for excessive demands like before, and his attitude towards him has also changed somewhat subtlely, and he has tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

While listening, Zhang Mian poured wine for him, and occasionally interjected, but pointed his finger at Cheng Mo: "Ling my sister-in-law is a celebrity in front of His Majesty. If he only takes a little care, who dares to be angry with Silang?"

"Ha, don't mention my good sister-in-law." Huo Yu sneered: "This ungrateful guy only has the emperor in his eyes, so how can he have his father? And there is no more me."

"How could that be?" Zhang Mian pretended to be surprised and said, "You and Ling Mei are brothers and sisters of a mother. For Ling Mei's sake, he cannot help but take care of you."

Huo Yu said angrily: "My little sister is blind. It's fine if she keeps the nobles and nobles in the court look down on her. Even the emperor doesn't like her, but she is deceived by this scoundrel."

He didn't say that he had gone to Cheng's mansion to find trouble for Cheng Mo, but he blamed Huo Shuhan for not marrying Cheng Mo.

Zhang Mianqi said: "Even Your Majesty doesn't look down on you?"

Who doesn’t know if Huo Xian wanted to send his daughter to the palace as the queen, or if Liu Xun said that the ministers had to change their words and ask Xu as the queen. Many people knew about this matter. How could Huo Shuhan look down on the emperor?

Huo Yu took a sip of wine and said irritably: "It's better not to talk about the past."

Zhang Mian didn't ask again, saying, "Hui Cheng is very lucky, and Su Zhi actually married his daughter to him."

In fact, when Liu Xun succeeded to the throne and named Cheng Mo the Marquis of Yongchang, he also had the idea of ​​marrying his daughter to Cheng Mo. At that time, Cheng Mo had no wife yet, but he had a marriage contract with Zhao Yufei, and he didn't care about a common woman. The reason why it was not implemented was that his legitimate wife had no children after giving birth to two sons. His three daughters were all born to concubines, so how could he imagine being a match for the Marquis? Now that Huo Guang and Su Zhi both married their daughter to Cheng Motuo, he felt sad.
