Remembrance Hibiscus GL

The next day, Huo Song came back from a banquet in the palace, and led his brothers and nephews to pay homage to the ancestors, so he called Jinbo over, had a secret talk with him for half a day, and then retreated to the inner study, only his confidant Minghe was waiting for the pen and ink.

The inner study is the most secluded and secluded place in the mansion. Although there are laughter and loud noises outside, the sound of firecrackers can't come in at all.Huo Song sat there thinking for a moment with a solemn expression, then picked up the brush, dipped it in the inkstone, and wrote vigorously. After a while, a letter was written in one stroke. He put down the pen, picked up the densely packed paper, and gently blew on it. After blowing air, when the ink was completely dry, he folded it up and put it in an envelope, then sealed it carefully with wax paint before handing it over to Minghe, but the door was suddenly pushed open, and Huo Song was startled when he heard the sound , got up from his seat, only to see Huo Ze walking in staggeringly carrying a silver jug.

Seeing that it was him, Huo Song's anger subsided, but his face turned cold: "You are becoming more and more unruly now, what kind of place is this? Usually when my father is at home, even I am not allowed to come in and out at will."

"Isn't father in Xijiang now?" Huo Ze smiled: "Brother, today is the first day, on such a big day, you actually hid in this deserted place, as a brother to accompany you, don't tell me Is it not good?"

Huo Song snorted softly, and handed the envelope to Ming He, Ming He bowed to his two brothers, saluted each other, and left in a hurry.

With a nonchalant expression on his face, Huo Ze found two glasses, filled them with wine, and handed a glass to Huo Song. Huo Song didn't reach out to take it, but he wasn't annoyed. He put it on the table and found a chair. Sit down and finish your glass slowly.

Huo Song said: "This is not a place for you to drink and have fun."

Huo Ze leaned on the back of the chair, stretched his legs, and said to himself: "I went to Chaoyangmen tonight. The fireworks are really beautiful tonight. I can't wait for the Lantern Festival lanterns." While talking, In the end, he put the wine glass aside: "Brother, why don't you go to see it? Such a grand occasion only happens once or twice a year. It would be a pity to miss it."

Huo Song frowned, and didn't bother to answer, "Don't you want to see the Queen Mother?" Huo Ze squinted his eyes and smiled, and gestured with his right hand in the air: "She is wearing a golden phoenix crown and a gorgeous robe, standing in the sun. On the tower above the gate, those royal relatives, military generals, and a large number of servants surrounded her like stars and the moon, and even the fireworks all over the sky seemed to be her foil. Those fools below the tower saw her appear , I was so excited that I almost fainted, and I fell to my knees in a black mass, crying out 'thousand years' and 'long live', haha, that scene was really ridiculous."

Huo Song was slightly angry: "What's so ridiculous?!"

"Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was thinking, at this moment, she has stepped on the entire capital city, no, the whole world under her feet, she is overlooking the lights of thousands of families, overlooking hundreds of millions of people... ...What kind of feeling will she have in her heart? I really want to see her expression, but Chaoyang Gate is so high, I can't see clearly." Huo Ze sighed for a long time, and continued: "I I'm still thinking, it's my sister standing on it, that's great! It's just a pity, it's not good enough, it's not her who is most qualified to stand on the tower of the Huo family. "

Huo Song slammed his palm on the table, his voice was stern: "What nonsense are you talking about! Are you drunk?!"

The atmosphere in the room became a bit dignified, Huo Ze lazily lay half on the chair, staring at Huo Song, after a long time, he suppressed his smile, slowly straightened up, and said softly: "Brother, do you think I'm a fool? "

"You are really inexplicable tonight." Huo Song said: "There is still a banquet at the mother's side, I have to go over and accompany you for a while. Come talk to me when you are clear-headed."

"I'm sober now, more sober than ever." Huo Ze put his hands on the brazier to warm him up, and smiled softly: "You were writing a letter to your father just now, right? You wanted to take advantage of Zongmou to return to Beijing Zhao He, find an opportunity to cut him off in one fell swoop, I didn't expect him to guard Shuzhou, and only sent an envoy, alas, what a pity!"

Huo Song's complexion changed suddenly, and he turned around, staring at him with fixed eyes, Huo Ze said: "Brother, don't be nervous, you know how safe it is here."

Huo Song's tense nerves relaxed slightly. After a while, he walked to the desk and sat down, and said softly, "What do you want to say when you come here tonight?"

"Brother, I know exactly what you and your father are plotting." Huo Ze picked up the copper tool, moved the charcoal in the pot, and then raised his head calmly: "Now that the Queen Mother is in charge of the government, my father has no constraints." , several prefectures in western Xinjiang have been controlled by him. Whether he wants soldiers, horses, food or grass, the Ministry of Households will satisfy him to the maximum extent. The Tuyuhun should have been taken a long time ago, but he was not in a hurry at all, what was the reason? Ha, he wanted to take down Tuyuhun slowly, and slowly conquer a few small countries in the Western Regions. , cultivate an army that only belongs to him, and strengthen the loyalty of the soldiers and civilians in those states to him. When he returns triumphantly, his prestige in the court and among the people will be further enhanced. And you, brother, you are the brother of the Queen Mother , Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, son of the county prince, you can take advantage of your special status to win over people in the court and eradicate dissidents. When the time comes when father returns to Beijing, there is nothing that cannot be done Woolen cloth?"

Huo Song's expression remained unchanged: "Go ahead."

"I vaguely heard that the reason why the late emperor was afraid of his father, deprived him of his military power several times, and even wanted to kill him, was because someone slandered him in front of the late emperor, saying that his father had the appearance of a king."

"Since it's a rumor, why should it be true?"

"Brother, since when did you stop telling me the truth? Do you think I'm a trash who only knows how to drink and play with women like those people?" Huo Ze stood up abruptly and patted his face. Chest said: "I'm a member of the Huo family, I'm your younger brother! Don't forget, when the first emperor passed away and the emperor ascended the throne, I also contributed. If it weren't for me and those Taoist priests..."

"Shut up!" Huo Song stopped him, and then said angrily: "With your impetuous temper, how can people trust you?"

Huo Ze said dissatisfied: "There are no outsiders here, I only do this in front of you!"

Huo Song's face gradually softened: "You know that I trust you and love you, but this matter is no small matter, if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces, you better not get involved in it."

"But I also want to do my part, brother, once you trust me, I will be extremely cautious." Huo Ze propped his hands on the table and said urgently: "People say that when brothers are of one heart, their benefits can cut through gold. There will be times when you need me."

Seeing that Huo Song didn't speak, he said again: "If father can achieve great things, as long as I contribute a little bit to it, this life will be worthwhile." As he said, his eyes glowed with excitement: "You are the most outstanding father! My son is also my proud elder brother, if one day my father can replace Yan Dynasty, elder brother, you are the crown prince for granted."

Huo Song was overjoyed, but forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said lightly: "I blamed you just now, but you have forgotten yourself again."

"Brother." Huo Ze walked up to him, knelt down on his knees, raised his face and said sincerely: "Let me help you and father, we are brothers today, and we may become monarchs and ministers in the future, but no matter what, I will always follow you and be loyal to you just like when I was a child."

"Good brother!" Huo Song pulled him up with both hands, and said emotionally: "I promise you, if there is such a day, big brother, if you have any requests, I will definitely fulfill your wishes."

Huo Ze's face was full of joy: "If you become the prince, I will naturally be a prince. As long as I can enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied."

Huo Song patted him on the shoulder: "Of course."

Huo Ze gritted his teeth and said: "On that day, I will definitely trample under my feet all the people who used to look down on me, so that they will never turn over for the rest of their lives!" All the beauties in my house have been recruited into my house to serve as my wives and maids, and I have endured that Yasha star in my house for long enough."

"It's impossible to marry Liu Mengdie. I will definitely compensate you for this."

"Brother, the first emperor was famous for his lewdness and lust. I'm afraid that all the most beautiful people in the world have been selected into his harem or palace. If you want to make up for me, why not open his harem at that time and let me choose." Huo Ze approached him , said with a playful smile: "Most of those concubines are still in their youth, and at most they are only in their twenties. I have confirmed it from my sister-in-law. They are all rare beauties in the world, especially the concubine Chen. , it is said that it is the most beautiful in the world, and the beauty crowns the harem, it is simply fascinating."

Huo Song showed displeasure: "Why would your sister-in-law tell you this? How decent!"

Huo Ze said: "I have my own way to make her leak."

"Now is not the time to think about these things, restrain yourself!" Huo Song said in a deep voice, "When the festival comes out, I will find a way to talk to the Queen Mother and find you an urgent job. Don't let me down Also, tomorrow I will invite Huo Ling to come to the mansion for a New Year's wine, and you will be with me. I know that you have looked down on him since you were a child, and you hated him even more because he took away the position of General Right Guard a while ago, but he Now that you have real power in your hands, you must not offend him, and whether you like it or not, you have to be kind and polite to me."

Huo Ze hurriedly replied: "Yes, don't worry, brother, I know how to measure."

Lian Zhen gave a brief signal, and Baozhen and other maids retreated completely. She walked slowly to the table, took out the old flowers from the blue-and-white beauty cup with her own hands, and replaced them with the red plums they picked newly. The usual bright red color actually reflected a tinge of blood on her face, she stroked the petals lightly: "Director Gao, you know why I called you here today, don't you?"

Gao Xian said: "The slave is stupid."

Lian Zhen said: "The queen mother is annoying me, don't you know?"

Gao Xian coughed lightly, and said: "What does the master say, how can the queen mother annoy the master, recently gave a banquet, went to the theater, and never once missed the master."

Lian Zhen turned her head to the side: "You know that I don't usually get along with her like this. You always stay outside her bedroom, don't you?" , and no longer hesitate to speak.

Sure enough, Gao Xian was forced to retreat by her words, with embarrassment on his face, after a while, Fang said: "Master Chen, the Queen Mother's holy will, the slave... that is absolutely not dare figured it out."

"I don't know what I did wrong. I just saw that the purse that the Queen Mother often wears is old, so I hurriedly embroidered one for her. I also knew that she likes Buddhist beads, so I carefully selected a string for her." Gao Xian heard The word "Buddhist bead" couldn't help but shake my heart, Lianzhen didn't notice his strangeness, and sniffled slightly: "I didn't expect it to be like that... Until today, I still don't know what I did. Something went wrong."

She was originally beautiful, but at the moment she was wronged and pitiful, and when she said these words, even the hard-hearted person couldn't help being moved by it, Gao Xian didn't dare to look at her, and lowered his head: "Please don't Hard to be a slave."

Lian Zhen said: "I know that Director Gao has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and I also value this very much, but my relationship with the Queen Mother is no better than other people. Besides being loyal to the Queen Mother, Director Gao, can't you give me a little bit of sincerity?"

She acted both hard and soft, Gao Xian almost broke out in sweat, and said: "The master speaks like this, but it will kill the slave."

The corners of Lian Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a bleak smile, as if she was talking to him, or whispering to herself: "These days, she hasn't seen me in private, and she still wears that old purse, I think , there must be some reason for this, if I don't figure it out, I will feel uneasy."

Gao Xian was extremely embarrassed, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master mentioned the purse, what's in it, the slave really doesn't know, it's just one thing, the purse is not a palace thing, the slave thought, I'm afraid it was brought in by the Empress Dowager when she entered the palace that year, and Qinzhu beats up the child to serve the Empress Dowager, so you should know the origin."

After finishing speaking, I also felt that there was a suspicion of evasion, so I added [-] points of sincerity, and added: "But the tone is strict, I'm afraid I can't find out anything, the master may as well ask that Shutong when the time comes, I'm afraid better."

Lian Zhen stood up and said, "Thank you, Manager Gao."

Hearing this, Gao Xian felt relieved, looked at the sun outside the window again, cupped his hands and said: "It's getting late, the Queen Mother is about to wake up from her lunch break, this servant will leave now."
