The whole world is waiting for the host to overturn

Chapter 361 Your Majesty, your servant has climbed the wall (15)

After the early spring, the news that the new emperor wanted to select a son spread throughout the world.

The dignitaries of various families are also looking forward to it, preparing to send their pampered sons and daughters to the palace, so as to gain some royal favor.

It's just that among these people, only Huo Tianlan, the general of the Huo family, frowned every day.

Returning home as usual, she ordered someone to invite the eldest son into her study as soon as she entered the mansion.

The servant brought "Huo Cong" to the study, and Huo Tianlan was not surprised that "Huo Cong" was quiet at the moment, he just frowned and said, "Do you know how your brother is in the palace now?"

"Huo Cong" looked up at Huo Tianlan, and said in a warm voice: "Your Majesty is the only favorite, and the holy family is in abundance."

Huo Tianlan sighed, rubbed his hands on the back of the chair for a while, and said in a low voice: "My Huo family has been a general for generations, and there has never been an example of sending a son to the king's side in order to seek wealth. Previously, your brother I have no choice but to send him to the palace. But now, your Majesty’s actions are putting my Huo family on the fire!"

With hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands outside the court and a beloved concubine in charge inside the court, it is inevitable that the Huo family would be suspected of overshadowing their master with their superior achievements.

When the new emperor stabilizes the court, he might be the first one to attack their family.

Thinking of this, Huo Tianlan frowned even tighter.

"Huo Cong" looked at Huo Tianlan's expression, hesitated for a while and then said: "Mother may be overly worried. Your Majesty may just dote on your brother... your younger brother, and you have no other ideas."

Huo Tianlan shook his head: "You are simple-minded, how do you know how shallow the love of an emperor is. Now the new emperor wants to recruit young men from all over the world. When the young men enter the palace, you still don't know what your brother's status will be in the palace!"

Speaking of this, Huo Tianlan said again: "Speaking of which, you also have to participate in the election at your age, but I have already asked someone to cross out your name, so you should not go out and show your face recently."

"Huo Cong" nodded obediently, and waited for Huo Tianlan to wave him down before turning around and leaving.

When he walked away, Huo Tianlan narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if his eldest son had suffered some kind of blow?
Why is this temper somewhat like a second son?
After thinking about it, Huo Tianlan asked someone to come over and said: "Go and find out where the eldest son has been recently, and who has he met?"

The guard nodded hurriedly: "Yes."

……

The story of Naxuan was also rumored in the palace, but Huo Cong turned a deaf ear to it.

He sat across from Ji Rong, holding a book and said: "There are precedents for water control here, don't we have many successful water control methods in modern times?"

Ji Rong nodded and wrote a line on the memorial.

Huo Cong leaned over to take a look, and nodded: "The main thing is to unblock, and the key point is to adapt measures to local conditions. Moreover, you have to send a competent person there."

Ji Rong picked up the pen and thought for a while, and said to Huo Cong: "Although Liu Qiong always has some small calculations in his heart, this person is still loyal. It should be reliable for her to recommend a few people."

Huo Cong nodded: "You can figure it out, if not, I'll ask my people to find some for you."

Ji Rong raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Where are you from?"

Huo Cong smiled slightly: "I came a few years earlier than you, and the reputation of Mr. Huo's little overlord in the capital has already spread. Naturally, I have also come into contact with the ghosts and snakes on the streets of the capital. Compared with your courtiers, trust me more accurate information."

Ji Rong smiled and wrote a few words on the notebook.

"Then let Liu Qiong recommend it first, and then you can find some for me after it's over."

Looking at the serious Ji Rong, Huo Cong couldn't help pinching her face: "My daughter-in-law is different when she becomes the emperor, and her speech is different from before."
