I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 290 If Huo Guang doesn't show up, Huo Dang's support will be gone! (seeking subscription)
At the end of the day, the General's Mansion was shrouded in an atmosphere of anxiety and silence.

The front mansion and the back house have been blown by the autumn wind for several months, and it seems that a fire can ignite at any time.

The Huo Party, headed by Prime Minister Ren Gong, sat together in the main hall of the general, all of them looked anxious.

This morning, after they suffered a loss in the front hall, they just went home to avoid people's eyes and ears, and they couldn't wait to come to the General's Mansion.

I don't know why, when they came to the General's Mansion in the past, they were always aboveboard, but today they seemed to be a little guilty, as if they were afraid of something.

The strange atmosphere in the front hall gave them an indescribable worry.

The servants in the mansion put hot tea on the desks of these big shots, but no one was in the mood to drink it.

After changing the tea back and forth many times, even the latest bowl was completely cold.

Ren Gong and others waited anxiously, wanting to see the general urgently.

But after coming for so long, the general still didn't show up, which made them even more restless - as if what they were sitting on was not a soft couch, but a brazier filled with glowing charcoal fire.

"Prime Minister, what does the general mean? Why did he refuse to come out to see us for so long?"

This is the third time Le Cheng has asked this question, and every time he asks, the anxiety on the face of the Chief of the Nine Ministers will increase by one point.

The Prime Minister Ren Gong who was sitting next to him didn't speak, he looked very calm, but how could he not be anxious inside?

In addition to the general Huo Guang, he is now the backbone of the Huo Party in the court, so he must appear calm and composed.

Today, there are more than a dozen members of the Huo Party in the main hall, all of whom participated in today's grand court meeting.

Even if it is the General's Mansion, so many important courtiers rush in at once, it will inevitably attract discussions.

It is estimated that it will not be long before what happened in the front hall today will spread in Chang'an City, and there will probably be more rumors by then.

Just like at this moment, among the officials coming and going in the general's mansion, many good-natured people will cast curious glances at this side when they pass by the main hall.

Ren Gong coughed a few times forcefully, causing everyone's eyes to focus on him, before he began to speak to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Don't be impatient, gentlemen. The general had a cold earlier, and he is probably still ill. It is normal for him to rest for a while after the court meeting."

"This is more than a moment, this is already..."

Ren Gong didn't let Le Cheng continue, but cut off the topic first and said: "There is a general planning a strategy, what happened in the court today will definitely be handled properly, I don't want to think about it."

After all, Ren Gong stood up and said to the distraught Huo Dang: "Now I should not attract attention any more, all the gentlemen have political affairs to attend to, so don't stay in the mansion for a long time."

"Jing Zhaoyin and You Fufeng returned to the Yamen immediately, and sent pavilion guards to guard all the gates. If they encounter bad people, they will be killed."

"Mr. Taichangle, Mr. Dasi Nongtian, Mr. Zhijinwu and Mr. Su can stay here, and the rest of you can go back."

The rest of Huo Dang naturally left reluctantly, but in front of Ren Gong, they couldn't say no, after saluting, they all left in a hurry.

At that moment, the entire main hall became deserted, and the remaining core figures of the Huo Party could finally speak freely.

"Ren Gong, what are Cai Yi and Zhang Anshi planning to do in the court today?" Le Cheng asked bluntly.

"There is no one here now, so there is no need to hide too much. You and I have been struggling in the officialdom for a long time. Today's incident should be seen through at a glance." Ren Gong said.

The rest of the people didn't speak up immediately, Ren Gong was right, what happened in the courtroom today is obvious.

"Cai Yi and the others really want to seize the power of the general?" Le Cheng asked.

"Can Le Gong find any other explanation?" Ren Gong said with his hands behind his back.

"This is a dead end. The Shangguan family is a lesson learned from the past. No matter how prominent the Shangguan family is, they can't shake the general, let alone that old Confucian Cai Yi."

Le Cheng said harshly, as if he wanted to chew Cai Yi into pieces with his two rows of teeth.

Before Ren Gong could continue, a strange voice came from behind.

"Hmph, Taichang made this matter too simple. Didn't you see that the courtiers jumping in the hall are not just Cai Yi, but also Zhang Anshi, Bingji, Liu De..."

Ren Gong and the others followed the sound and saw Tian Yannian, who was dark and thin.

The latter was sitting on the couch, drinking the strong tea in his cup.

On that face as black as charcoal, there was no anxiety, but some gloating.

"Mr. Tian is saying that I am blind?" Lecheng said.

"I don't dare to say whether Mr. Le is blind or not, but he looks a little too flustered now. This is not like the demeanor of the leader of the Nine Ministers."

The few people present could immediately hear that Tian Yannian was making sarcastic remarks—since he succeeded in surpassing Tian Yannian and became Taichang, the two became enemies, and they even got into a fight over the trivial matter of the carriage collision.

Since then, the two have gradually become incompatible rivals.

Usually there are generals in charge, so they naturally dare not argue, but Ren Gong can't suppress them.

But Su Chang, the executive Jinwu, had just been promoted from the position of the chief of the general's mansion to Jiuqing, and he knew that he had no room to speak for himself.

Seeing the delicate situation here, he hesitated a few times in embarrassment, then silently stepped aside and sat back on his couch.

"Tian Yannian, what do you mean by that? My position of Taichang was promoted by the general himself. If you are dissatisfied, you can go and tell the general."

"Hmph, although the great general has blazing eyes, he will inevitably be blinded by villains."

"If you are really capable, you should share the general's worries at this moment, instead of crying like a woman here, shaking the soldiers' morale!"

"You madman, how dare you..." Le Cheng blushed with anger, raised his hand, and pointed at Tian Yannian tremblingly, but couldn't say the last part of the sentence.

After becoming Taichang, Lecheng knew that he had received a huge benefit, so he was also very measured, and he always raised his exemption card to Tian Yannian's deliberate offense.

Today, Le Cheng received a lot of "scaring" in the court.

Now that I haven't seen the general, I am already restless.

Being so provoked by Tian Yannian, his anger suddenly flared up.

"The pavilion soldier in the courtyard has a sword on his body, do you dare to fight with me to the death?" Le Cheng finally squeezed out such a sentence.

"Fighting fiercely? That's the behavior of ordinary people. I am a dignified chief farmer, and I disdain to be as knowledgeable as ordinary people."

Tian Yannian didn't look sideways when he spoke, and after he finished speaking, he picked up the half cup of tea that was no longer hot, and pretended to blow it up, completely ignoring Le Cheng.

Seeing Le Cheng, Ren Gong was furious, afraid that they would have a fight in the main hall, so he quickly stepped forward and stood between the two of them.

"Others have already come to kill each other, so why should Er Gong still kill each other?" Ren Gong said with a livid face, which finally made Le Cheng hold back.

"When our bones and ashes are all scattered in the deserted tomb in the north city wall, the second lord can still fight happily for generations to come."

"Mr. Le, sit on the couch over there and stop talking useless words, otherwise you will all go back now, and I will wait for the general here alone!"

After a while of silence, Lecheng finally sat down on the other side of the couch angrily.

For a moment, the four people in the hall sat in four corners, making the whole hall suddenly seem a bit empty.

Compared with the scene when the general invited them to eat moon cakes, it was completely different.

Lecheng is still angry, Su Chang is at a loss, Tian Yannian gloats...

Ren Gong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

The most core members of the Huo Party in the army are not there. If the general does not show up again, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be completely dissipated.

The situation in the front hall today is extremely critical, and people's hearts must not be scattered now.

Thinking of this, Ren Gong decided to stabilize the situation here for the general first.

Ren Gong coughed a few times, and after breaking the awkward atmosphere around him, he said slowly: "Today's matter, whether it was Cai Yi's whim or a long-standing conspiracy with Zhang Anshi and others, is a very big event. .”

"Although the general is still resting, he will definitely come out later. If the general asks my opinion, how should I reply? This is what I think about at the moment."

Ren Gong's words made the anger of several people subside a little.

It was right, the general couldn't hide all the time, he was going to come out to meet them after all.

"I think, let the general go to the Greenhouse to meet His Majesty immediately, and let His Majesty take back the edict." Le Cheng said.

"Let the emperor take back the edict first, and then find a reason to impeach Cai Yi and let this old thief go to prison. It is best to let his family die, and then clean up Zhang Anshi and others one by one." Tian Yannian is better than Le Cheng. Be more ruthless.

"I think the same as Ergong." Su Chang said quickly.

Ren Gong tapped the case table lightly with his fingers, but didn't speak immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ren Gong, you are the head of all officials, what do you think about this matter?" Lecheng asked.

"The methods mentioned by the three are the right way in normal times, but have you ever thought that there may be another mastermind behind this matter?" Ren Gong said.

"Is there another mastermind?" The others asked.

Ren Gong didn't speak, but raised his hands, and arched them to his upper right.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the main hall of the General's Mansion turned cold.

The other three immediately understood what Ren Gong meant.

A lot of things are just that weird.

When no one mentions it, I will never think of it; once someone mentions it, I feel extremely reasonable and normal.

"Mr. Ren said that this matter is related to the county..." There was some panic in Su Chang's eyes, and this panic quickly spread to the eyes of several other people.

Before Su Chang finished speaking, Ren Gong nodded his head to express his approval.

If the person behind this matter is the county magistrate, then it would be bad!
