Chapter 118 The Fool Appeared
In the imperial study, a needle can be heard.
After a long silence, the emperor slowly spoke: "I... do you also think that I have owed Yixiao in the past few years?"
Huo Huaiding lowered his head and did not answer.
He knew that the emperor did not point at him to answer, after all, no matter how he answered this matter, he was wrong.
The emperor continued to say: "In the early years, I was in trouble. Others don't know about all kinds of situations. You know them all, and I can't do anything about it.
In recent years, the shackles on my body have been loosened a little. I am trying my best to make up for him, but with Xiao's temperament...
Do you know what he told me on the day he came back from Jiangnan?
I was so reluctant to punish him, and he was so angry that he made him kneel for more than half an hour!
I have many sons, but in front of Yixiao, I don’t know how to be a father.”
Huo Huaiding lowered his head, looking at listening with a look of scrubbing his ears, and did not let the emperor see his expression.
He actually has a lot of things he can say, but he can't say a single word.
The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Even because of the relationship between Concubine Huo and Huo Yixiao, Huo Huaiding became a close minister in front of the imperial court, a minister trusted by the emperor, and a buffer between the emperor and Huo Yixiao, but he could never say whatever he wanted.
Many times, Huo Huaiding wanted to ask the emperor, is he really pampered by his favor to Huo Yixiao?
Indeed, protecting and tilting, everyone thinks that sooner or later the emperor will make Huo Yixiao recognize his ancestors, but sooner or later, when will this be?
No one knows.
So much so that everyone is watching and guessing, which makes Huo Yixiao's situation particularly embarrassing.
Especially when getting along with the princes, I caused a lot of trouble in vain, but I got along with each other every day, so I couldn't avoid it.
Not only did Huo Huaiding feel it was inappropriate, but Concubine Huo turned around and wanted to talk to the emperor, but no response was made.
Under such a relationship, it would be strange if the relationship between the emperor and Huo Yixiao was smooth.
Huo Huaiding thought about it again and again, and plucked up his courage, saying, "With Xiao's character, he will not compromise easily. The more you object, the more he insists. If you ask him to marry Wen Yan, you have your difficulties, and you will never be sure of it, and he can't twist you, but between you and him... how can he deal with it..."
The emperor waved his hand and signaled Huo Huaiding not to continue talking.
"Get back," said the emperor, "Let me think about it, my dear, please step back."
Huo Huaiding retreated, stood in the corridor, and sighed deeply.
He believed that the emperor understood what he had not finished.
The so-called "like" seems shallow and ridiculous in the royal family, and most of the time, it is meaningless.
Not as good as power, not as good as wealth.
But that's for others.
There is a person named Huo Yixiao in the world. Wasn’t it just that the emperor fell in love with a girl?
He was blinded by his love, and a combination that was not suitable and should not be suitable, and finally gave birth to Huo Yixiao.
Compared with that year, Wen Yan, the "daughter of the criminal minister", was simply a witch.
If the emperor objected to the end on this reason, he would not only oppose the marriage of a son, but also deny Huo Yixiao.
Huo Huaiding had no choice but to say these words. If he said them, he would be despised as long as he was, but the emperor would definitely understand them.
The night is getting heavier.
Huo Huaiding wrapped his cloak tightly and walked along the palace road. He wanted to leave before the palace gate closed.
When he was about to reach the palace gate, a little eunuch rushed to catch up from behind and called him.
"Mr. Huo," said the little eunuch gasping, "Eunuch Wu said, the emperor agreed to the transfer. Please ask the master of the Ministry of Personnel to send the memorial to the imperial study room."
Huo Huaiding thanked him.
It seems that although the emperor and Concubine Huo have different ideas, their choices are still the same.
Let’s transfer Wen Zifu first and then take a look, there is still time anyway.
A few days afterwards.
Shun Pingbo tried every possible way to see an old friend.
The other party is now on duty at Dali Temple. He heard about Ji Kuo’s case and said bluntly: “If you want to excuse Sun, forget it. The evidence is conclusive and a sure-fire case, why do you have to do it?”
Shunpingbo said: "That's all nonsense about Huo! They use public interest for personal gain..."
"What can I do if I really use public interest for personal gain?" The other party waved his hand, "You ask the fourth young master, the fourth young master broke one of his arm, that is, he was punished by the emperor. Is your grandson more precious than the second young master?"
Shunping Bo wanted to ask more questions, but the other party refused to reveal it again, so he politely sent him out of the door.
The manager looked at Shunping Bo, who was looking gray and came out of the gate and said, "Brother..."
Shunping Boqiang cheered up: "I had a fair relationship with him when I was young. After two days, I would ask someone else. I don't believe it. What kind of fourth young master is really that powerful!"
The carriage drove away, and in the corner, a servant raised his head and looked at it, turned around and left.
He trotted into a restaurant, entered the private room, and said to the person sitting in the first seat: "The old capital accent is indeed Shunpingbo. As you guessed, he is going to trouble him to find the fourth son."
The first person laughed and said to the people around him: "What did our four young masters do in Lin'an?
Shun Pingbo left the palace with his front foot, and then he and Huo Huaiding were called to the imperial study one after another.
There is nothing to argue about in the Lin'an case, right?
Shunpingbo's grandson is a girl who wants to succeed even if she buys evil, is Cheng'an's previous companion?
Ha! If you ask someone to go and inquire about Lin'an, I really want to know why he was punished to kneel on the day he returned to the palace at the end of the year.
Let me come again, I will send a message to Shunpingbo, don’t be too silly, Wen Zifu is going to be transferred to the capital."
After he finished speaking, several people responded and left the private room one after another.
On the other side, Shun Pingbo was rejected by his family and had no choice but to return to the inn.
There was a letter on the table in the room, without a signature.
He opened it and his face changed.
It said that the emperor believed in the Huo family and was not convenient for him to reveal his identity. However, when he knew the dilemma of Shun Pingbo, he told him about something that Huo Huaiding had connected the relationship with the Ministry of Personnel and transferred Wen Zi to Shuntian Mansion, and the emperor had already agreed.
Shun Pingbo was dizzy and could not believe it.
How could the emperor agree to such a thing?
In Wen Ziliang's case, it is really only about Wen Ziliang and his wife. Can the other Wen family be promoted and made a fortune?
Huo Huaiding's move was probably for his nephew and Wen Yan.
Shunpingbo had no choice but to prepare a pen and ink, re-written a memorial, and handed over the sign to the palace.
He thought that if the emperor really didn't want to see him, he would kneel at the palace gate.
In the imperial study, the emperor learned that Shunpingbo had arrived, and pondered for a while, but summoned him.
He took the note from the trembling Shun Pingbo and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor opened his eyes and grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it all in one go. That didn't count, so he quickly signaled Eunuch Wu to add it.
While adding tea, Eunuch Wu was suspicious. What did Shunpingbo write that made the emperor so excited.
He glanced at him quietly.
He would rather he didn't glance.
