Chapter 543
Thanks to Xifeng Qingyang for casting monthly votes.
When Huo Guang was young, he followed his half-brother Huo Qubing to Beijing. He got the green eyes of Emperor Wu and often accompanied Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu's martial arts were unmatched. He was a person who did not rub the sand in his eyes. Huo Guang had been with Emperor Wu for nearly thirty years. He served the carriage and served the left and right, without any mistakes in his words and deeds. It can be seen how he was careful. The power field was more cruel than the battlefield. An inadvertent action that could make a big fuss if the political enemy caught him. The light was dismissed from office and exiled, and the worst was beheaded and confiscated.
How could Huo Shuhan not understand the seriousness of this matter? What made her even more annoyed was that just because she was jealous of Cheng Mo as the prime minister, Zhang Mian used all means to swear to kill Cheng Mo.
She sat in a chair opposite the desk, not talking for now, just looking at Cheng Mo, wanting to hear what her husband planned to deal with the matter.
Cheng Mo played with a pen without dipping ink in his hand, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he didn't know what to think. After a while, he realized Huo Shuhan's gaze, raised his eyebrows and said, "Han'er has something to say?"
Huo Shuhan said: "What do Wulang plan to do?"
Cheng Mo showed his white teeth, as if he wanted to choose someone and said, "Is that more important? Now, it's too common for him to do this, and it's impossible."
He is not the one who lets others bully him and refuses to fight back. Wu Yan has been in prison and Zhang Mian can't wait long.
In fact, it is not the fault of Zhang Mian. He is a young man with great ambitions. He is a middle-aged man, but he has been in Taichang for five years and has never moved. Taichang is the first of the nine ministers, but he is only responsible for ancestral temple sacrifices and not for specific administrative affairs. He is full of saints who make divination and watch the calendar, and a band that plays during the emperor's sacrifices and travels. Of course, the royal cemetery is also under his control. These messy people and things almost made him crazy.
What he wants is to hold the power of life and death, and determine the life and death of a person. This position is the prime minister or general. The general was occupied by Huo Guang. Su Zhi had not shown his outstanding government skills and skills, so he glanced on the chair. He believed that his ability was much stronger than Su Zhi, so how could he compare to Su Zhi, the voice-sensitive insect?
However, Su Zhi was a loyal follower of Huo Guang and was deeply loved by Huo Guang. Before Huo Guang retired, he called several of their confidants to give him a lecture and asked them to support Su Zhi.
Zhang Mian responded in a slight manner on the surface, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.
The ancients believed in gods and ghosts and valued sacrifices. Those who were not trusted by the emperor could not be Taichang. His position was given by Huo Guang, which shows that Huo Guang trusted him very much. Unfortunately, what he wanted was great power and glory in front of others. He did not manage the dead ghosts, even those dead ghosts were the emperors who died.
The four people sent out had no reward for a long time, and even more missed. Seeing that the fourth update was approaching, Zhang Mian felt an ominous premonition in his heart. The roads in the capital were well connected, and he really didn't know which road Tang Ji took. The servant Wang Liu, who was the most trusted servant, reported at the door: "Alang, it's not too early, it's time to change his clothes and go to court."
He knew why his son Alang was waiting all night and felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhang Mian said: "Sustain the change of clothes. I will go to court. You will be guarding the palace. If Xia Er and others come back, let them wait in the palace and wait for me to disperse the court."
Wang Liu responded and took the official robe to serve him and replaced it.
Liu Xunxie was Jianzhang Palace. Xiao Luzi said at the door of Xu Pingjun's dormitory at the fourth hour every day: "Your Majesty, the time has come."
He was like an on-time alarm clock. When the alarm clock rang, it was time to get up and go to work. Oh, no, I went to court. Liu Xun lifted the tent and stood up, and Xu Pingjun also got up with him, waiting for him to dress, wash, and eat. He saw him on the imperial chariot and sent him out of Jianzhang Palace before returning to the bedroom to wash and dress up.
Every day, the same program is the same, and the time is almost the same.
Today, as soon as Liu Xun's imperial chariot left Jianzhang Palace, Xiao Luzi's godson Zheng Chun ran from the direction of Weiyang Palace, attached himself to Xiao Luzi's ear and said something, then stood aside with his hands hanging down and waited for the ceremonial guard to come.
Xiao Luzi rushed two steps, caught up with the imperial chariot, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is asking for a visit."
The distance from Jianzhang Palace to Weiyang Palace is really not short. Both palaces have many buildings, and they walk on the road. The time is not short. Liu Xun closed his eyes and rested in the imperial chariot, and seized time to make up for his sleep. Suddenly, he heard that Cheng Mo was looking for a meeting. He was a little surprised. After a while, he went to court. What should he do not leave and talk about it?
However, he still said: "Xuan."
He believed that Cheng Mo was responsible and would not have the truth to seek insight in advance if it was not an urgent matter.
Last night, Cheng Mo and Huo Shuhan talked for a while. The two of them rested in the dormitory next to the study. After only one hour of sleep, they got up. Huo Shuhan is still asleep and still not waking up.
If Zhang Mian used other means, he would have to use the same means to fight back. Now he used the assassination trick, which is the bottom line that the emperor could not tolerate. If he did not sue the wrong person at this time, when would he sue? So, he arrived at the palace gate a quarter of an hour in advance. The palace gate opened and was the first to rush into the palace. He was the prime minister, and no one dared to rob him, but seeing that he was so anxious, many people muttered in their hearts.
Zhang Mian stood near the palace gate. He had not slept all night and was a little weak in energy. He had two big dark circles, half-closed eyes, and was recuperating. Suddenly, a dark red figure flashed over and he couldn't help but open his eyes.
After getting off the car, Cheng Mo looked for him in the crowd. After the palace gate opened, he deliberately walked past him, just to attract his attention. This matter would be fine after the court was dispersed. Cheng Mo insisted on seeing the emperor now and reporting the matter, just to alert the enemy.
After dawn, the people found the bodies of Xia Er and others, and they would definitely report to the officials. Zhang Mian did not wait for the four people to repay them, so he would definitely send someone to search. I believe that the four people would be killed shortly after the scattered court. He must have suspected that the secret would be discovered. Besides, Cheng Mo's actions this morning would be strange if he could still sit still. As long as he had movements, there would be flaws to catch.
Cheng Mo was quickly brought in.
The ceremonial guard stopped, and the imperial chariot also stopped.
"I will meet your Majesty. I have a secret matter to report it." Cheng Mo bowed and said loudly.
"If you have anything to do, let's talk about it." Liu Xun's clear voice came from the imperial chariot, and Xiao Luzi rolled up the bamboo curtains on the side.
Cheng Mo thanked him for his grace, and the imperial chariot lifted up and continued to move forward.
The imperial chariot was wide and large, so the emperor could sit and lie down inside, with a few short brocade mats in it. At this time, bamboo mats were laid on the brocade mats. Liu Xun signaled Cheng Mo to sit down and talk.
Cheng Mo told me that Zhang Mian sent someone to assassinate Tang Ji overnight, but his guard passed by and rescued him accidentally.
"Assassination!" Liu Xun's face became ugly, and he said, "He is so dignified, why should he assassinate a chief minister?"
This leads to the incident. Cheng Mo presented the confession of Tang Ji, which contained the picture of Tang Ji.
