Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The sky was cloudy, without a ray of sunshine, it seemed that it was going to rain, but it was not going to rain. The weather was surprisingly hot, making it hard to breathe.

Huo Ze, wearing a red-tasseled white helmet and silver soft armor, stood straight on the altar of the Chongde Palace without squinting.Although he looked down on Huo Rin from the bottom of his heart since he was a child, he had also secretly envied his handsome and majestic appearance in military uniform. Now that he is wearing this Royal Guard costume, he is sweating profusely and sticky all over his body, not to mention how uncomfortable it is .He couldn't stop cursing in his heart, cursing the vicious weather, cursing the damn palace, cursing other people standing beside him like nails, and even cursing his father. . . . . .They are also his sons, Huo Song is the commander of the outer guard, and Huo Lin is the general. When they enter, they sit on a high platform and give orders, and when they leave, a large number of soldiers surround them to protect them. Only he was sent here to endure the heat and thirst, and suffer this living crime!What kind of Kingsguard, how mysterious and noble they sound, but they are just a group of watchdogs!

Huo Ze's lips were dry. A few days ago, he was on a boat with a group of concubines on the lake, drinking ice-cold wine and eating ice-cold melons and fresh fruits. , Compared with the current situation, it is nothing more than heaven and earth. . . . . .Just as his heart was on fire, his throat was smoking, and he was thinking wildly, in the main hall of Chongde Palace, there was a sudden burst of old and sad cries.

That was the cry of Wang Zhong, the chief assistant of the cabinet. After Chai Biao was overthrown, Huo Mu became more and more tough, wantonly attacking and suppressing the "loyalty faction" in the court. The killing caused people to panic, but the queen mother turned a blind eye and blindly favored and retreated. Under such circumstances, the loyal faction gradually began to fall apart. Huo Mu is on the side, but even so, there are many people who are loyal and upright, and who regard death as home.Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhuang Yiqing, wrote a poem satirizing Huo Mu. He was sentenced to beheaded yesterday, and all his clansmen were exiled to the smoky place in Beibei. Wang Zhong was heartbroken. It was for this reason that Binglun was forced to summon him.

This old guy is really ignorant of current affairs, so shameless!Huo Ze twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain, thinking that although Binglun stayed in the hall, it was comfortable and cool, but he was going to have a headache again after being disturbed by this old man, and he suddenly felt much better.

"I have recited it hundreds of times. Master Zhuang's poems have no other meaning, yet he is tortured so innocently. How innocent are his wives, children, and clan members?" Wang Zhong burst into tears, his beard trembling: "The majestic court orders officials, or Detaining or killing is all at the moment of the general's thought, and it won't be long before the world only knows that there is a general, but not that there is an emperor."

His words were much sharper than before, but Binglun had a pleasant expression: "Shoufu, you are old, get up and talk first." Gao Xian hurriedly walked up to him, wanting to help him, but he threw him away: "Chai Biao, Wu Shilong, Deng Bo, Zhuang Yiqing...these many, many people, all of them are the pillars of the country, the virtuous ministers of the court, and the Queen Mother watching so helplessly. Could it be that they really have the heart? Could it be that the courtiers are not afraid of the cold? heart?"

Binglun frowned and said: "The chief assistant is probably a little confused. The crimes of these people are not the same, how can they be compared?" Clearing his throat, his face has turned serious: "Yu Gong, the general has a noble status and has made great achievements. In the country, in private, the general is a relative of the country, and the court should respect and respect him, and he must not offend him in the slightest, otherwise he will be held accountable."

"Okay!" Wang Zhong looked at her with a miserable expression and said, "The Empress Dowager is resolute and decisive. If she can be selfish, it will be the blessing of the country, the young master and the people of the world. Otherwise, the country and society will be in danger. The tears couldn't stop flowing: "Your minister has guarded against it until today, but the queen mother has never accepted my minister's words. Once Huo Mu returned to Beijing, the imperial ancestors' precepts, the three cardinal guides and five permanent principles are no longer in the eyes of the queen mother. I just want to ask a question, from beginning to end. , has the queen mother ever planned for the emperor at all?"

This was already a blatant accusation and insult. Gao Xian was shocked when he heard the words. When he went to look at Binglun, he saw that her face had changed color: "Shut up! I think you are old, and you are a veteran of the three dynasties. You have always looked at you differently, but you You are so presumptuous, talking nonsense in front of me, do you really think I can't cure you?"

Wang Zhong pouted his neck and said: "I have come today, I have never thought of going back alive, but as the chief assistant, I see the virtuous being wronged and Zhongliang going to death, but I am helpless. Even if I die, I will have no face to see Sejong and the late emperor." Underground." The more I talked, the more sad I became, and I couldn't help crying: "At the beginning of the war in Western Xinjiang, it was the minister who strongly recommended Huo Mu to the late emperor, saying that he was the only one who could repel Tubo. This minister is guilty, and he deserves death! "

Binglun was furious: "Come on! Get this lawless, raving old fool out of here, and send him to the mansion, and let his son Wang Yongchun take good care of him!"

"Yes."

Several internal eunuchs quickly entered the hall, without any explanation, two on one side pushed Wang Zhong out, Wang Zhong wanted to struggle, but he couldn't exert any strength, he still shouted and cried: "I'm sorry for the late emperor, I'm sorry for the emperor!" The sound became farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard.

Binglun leaned in the chair, gently rubbing her temples with her left hand, Gao Xian led Tan Ying into the inner study, then bowed and quietly exited.

Tan Ying said: "I send my regards to the Queen Mother."

"You are here." Binglun raised his head: "How is Wang Zhong doing now?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the first assistant just fell into a coma due to extreme pain, please be at ease, the Empress Dowager."

Binglun was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "This matter is going to cause a storm all over the city again."

"It's not a bad thing to make trouble. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difficult situation of the empress dowager and the emperor. The chief assistant is a Confucian official, which is too stubborn and accommodating..." He glanced at Binglun, and swallowed the word "pedantic" abruptly. Next, said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that if it gets to the general's ears, it will be very detrimental to the chief assistant."

"No." Binglun interrupted him: "Wang Zhongde looks up at Su, looking up at the court, no more than others, he will not kill him, what he is staring at now is you and Xia Houjin."

Tan Ying said cautiously: "Queen Mother, now rumors are spreading inside and outside, and people's hearts are unstable. According to my minister, the time is ripe."

Binglun murmured, "No, wait a little longer."

"If there is any further delay, the situation may become difficult to control.

"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't let him succeed." Binglun gritted her teeth lightly, her voice was dungeon and calm: "I've endured it for so long, and I don't want to wait for this moment. If I tell you to the sun, Just keep it in your heart."

"I understand."

After standing in the palace for a whole day, it was not until the beginning of the year that another group of iron guards came to take turns.This time besides Huo Ze, Huo Mu also sent Lu Yin, Duan Tianxing, and Xin Yu into the palace. The Changle Palace where they live is on duty, and Lu Yin and Huo Ze are in the Queen Mother's Chongde Palace.

After handing over the errand, Huo Ze only felt sore back and legs, and his legs were weak. Lu Yin was still full of energy and walked lightly. Huo Ze was even more displeased. The two left the palace together without a word, and went home on their own. .

When returning to Huo Mansion, the first thing to do is to greet Huo Mu and report what he saw and heard that day. Seeing that Huo Mu had nothing else to say, he returned to his own compound. Liu Mengdie brought his concubine and children to greet him. Zezheng didn't even look at them, he walked into the hall and sat down, the servant girl brought tea, he squinted and smiled slightly: "The weather is so hot, and my father is sweating all over again, why don't you pay me back?" Grandpa pours hot tea, what kind of mind is there, huh?"

He was always moody, and the servants in the family were extremely afraid, the servant girl knew something was wrong from his tone, so she hurriedly said: "Your servant realizes his mistake, I will change it immediately."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Ze raised his hand, knocked over the tea tray to the ground, and cursed: "Bitch!"

The servant girl was splashed with hot tea, but she didn't dare to cry out for pain, she trembled all over, begging for mercy with a crying voice: "Slave maidservant should die, I beg Second Master to calm down."

Liu Mengdie couldn't see it, so she interjected: "What's wrong with Hou Ye today, he joined the Iron Guard, but the glory that others can't dream of, why is he so arrogant when he comes back?"

Huo Ze said viciously: "Shut up!" When he turned his head, he saw several children nestled in the arms of the nanny, looked at him timidly, and waved: "I'm leaving, what should I do? Go, don't stand here, it's annoying to watch!"

Huo Mu is now in power. Although Liu Mengdie is aggressive, he is not stupid. Recently, he has not dared to play aggressively in front of Huo Ze. After hearing what he said, he endured it again and again, and said with a smile: "At this time, Lord Hou I must be hungry, my concubine has already ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes that my master likes, why don't I ask them to bring them up now?"

"You don't need to worry about it." Huo Ze said coldly, "I will arrange it myself."

After taking a bath, Huo Ze was wearing obscene trousers, and lay prone on the low couch in front of the window. Two beautiful young maidservants knelt down in front of the couch, and one of them applied the ointment to his back. Pressing, one massaged the soles of his feet.

Huo Ze took a glass of snow-soaked Bixiang wine from the table, and sipped it in small sips. His body and mind felt much better. Ruixi came in and whispered in his ear: "Second Master, the uncle is here, wait outside Let's see the second master."

Huo Ze said: "Go back to him, just say that I have fallen asleep, and I will see him tomorrow."

As soon as the words finished, a voice said: "Hey, you just entered the palace to work for a day, and even your brother disappeared?" While speaking, Huo Song had already lifted the bamboo curtain and came in.

Ruixi hurriedly stood with his hands down, and the two maidservants also stopped their movements: "I have seen you." Huo Song's fat and white face did not have the slightest smile: "Get out." He is second only to Huo's mansion Yu Huo Mu, no one dared to disobey what he said, Ruixi and the other three left without even looking at Huo Ze.

Huo Ze put down the wine, jumped up from the couch, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Huo Song pulled up a chair and sat down: "Looking at you like this, it seems that you have a lot of resentment against your father for arranging you to enter the palace."

"Hmph! There's nothing to complain about. Anyway, good things don't happen to me."

"A good thing? Do you know that you and Lu Yin are the only people who have been forced into the Royal Guards since the founding of Dayan? If it wasn't for the queen mother who wanted to protect Chai Biao's life, she would not have agreed to father's condition. Huo Song glanced at him, and said coldly: "Look at your virtue, how can you have the demeanor of a general's son? You also came from practicing martial arts at a young age. Debauched, hollowed out the body, why is it like this for a day?"

Huo Ze lowered his head and said nothing, Huo Song said: "Do you know why father let you enter the palace?"

"Don't worry about the queen mother and the emperor, let us monitor them."

"Why is he worried about the Queen Mother?"

"Why else? The water thrown by the married daughter, she is now the queen mother, the most noble woman in the world, even if her father becomes the emperor one day, she is at most a princess, whoever chooses, she must choose to be As for the Empress Dowager, father is naturally worried about her."

"What you said is just a very simple and superficial thing. In fact, between the Huo family and the emperor, the queen mother has always been towards her mother's family." Huo Song said: "Father is always on guard against her. There are two reasons. First, , because of the imperial guards."

"You mean..."

"In the Imperial Forest Army, the outer guards guard the capital, the inner guards guard the imperial city, and the iron guards are the emperor's bodyguards. You know all of this. There is no difference between the dark guards and the iron guards, except that one is in the dark and the other is in the light. Everyone knows his name but does not see his shadow. The first emperor was suspicious, mean and cruel. In the early days of his succession, many princes and courtiers who opposed his political views died inexplicably one after another.

At that time, many people said that it was the work of the dark guards. "Huo Song said: "Father thinks that the hidden guard has long been controlled by the queen mother, but she didn't mention a word to father. "

"Brother, what do you mean, my father let me join the Iron Guard, besides monitoring the Queen Mother's movements, is there any other purpose?"

"That's right, you not only want to monitor the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but you also need to be familiar with the management of the Royal Guards and find out the reality of the Imperial Guards." Huo Song said slowly: "Chai Biao's position has been replaced by me, the next step, It is to seize the military power from Xia Houjin and Tan Ying. What my father means is not to fight head-to-head. Anyway, the capital is already in the bag, and taking over Miyagi is just around the corner. Don't you always want your father to look at you differently, and want to compete with Huo Lin? Take advantage of this opportunity, and then don't blame me for not reminding you!"

"I understand." Huo Ze was so excited that he almost forgot the pain in his muscles, and asked, "What about the second reason?"

"The second reason is that the Queen Mother sealed King Zongmou of England to Shuzhou, and my father was very concerned about this, thinking that the Queen Mother had ulterior motives in this move." Huo Song said: "Although Zongmou is young, he is brave and good at fighting. The land of Shuzhou is fertile and fertile, and there are many natural dangers. The biggest obstacle for my father to become emperor is the number one worry."

Huo Ze's eyes glowed: "When my father slowly clears away the obstacles in the capital and firmly holds the Queen Mother and the Emperor in his hands, he will be able to coerce the emperor to command the princes. If the King of England does not follow, it will be rebellion. Then we will attack him It is also logical, the master is famous, as long as the King of England dies, the other unworthy vassals will not be in our eyes, and when the time comes, we can force that stinky kid Zongxu to make some Zen edicts."

"That's right." Huo Song nodded, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have already thought about the person who will lead the army to attack Zongmou, and it must be Huo Lin."

"Him? How can he do it?" Huo Ze lost his voice: "Father treats him like a treasure now. If he wins, wouldn't it be a great credit? Will there still be two brothers in my father's eyes?"

Huo Song sneered and said, "Father regards him as a treasure? It's just for a while, don't you understand father? A bastard will always be a bastard, just wait and see."

"But if he wins..."

"When my father was stationed in Western Xinjiang, he was just sitting in command and strategizing. It was Huo Lin who actually led the troops to fight against the enemy on the battlefield. At this moment, our 12 elite stationed around the capital, except for the golden lion and yellow tiger, belonged to my father. The confidant army, and the other four teams of 'Blue Wolf, Silver Fox, Black Panther, and White Elephant' are all elite soldiers who followed Huo Lin to death in the western border." Huo Song's eyes were sinister, with a proud expression: "He was ordered to attack Zongmou, I will I urged my father to let him take his army to Shuzhou. If we win, we will enjoy the benefits, but most of his people will be lost. If he loses, he is useless in the eyes of his father, and Zongmou should also It is not difficult to send another person to take back Shuzhou if the vitality is seriously injured."

"High! It's really high! It turns out that you have already thought of a way to weaken Huo Lin." Huo Ze was convinced, and he clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I really admire Big Brother!"
