The Duke's Daughter is Reborn
Chapter 252 Tiger Talisman (2)
General Huo did not say anything, but just held the tiger talisman tightly in his hand. Now this is the greatest reliance of the Huo family, the Huo family army, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen.
Huo Yun knew that His Highness's move had frightened his father a little.
The Huo family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, but now the court is dominated by villains, and the Nian family, headed by Nian Chuan, uses all means to weaken the power of the Crown Prince and the Huo family army.
But how could these literati who could only talk in the court understand the pain of the soldiers on the front line? However, even if they knew this, those who were high above them would probably only use more cruel and excessive means.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely solemn. Huo Yun spoke tentatively, "Dad, Axuan said in the letter that the Fifth Prince is going too far. In order to better control the officials of the court, he even used something as dirty as the Five Stone Powder."
Looking up, General Huo looked at Huo Yun with a sharp gaze: "What you said crossed the line." The Fifth Prince did act improperly, but he was the monarch and he was just a minister. No matter what, it was not his turn to judge the monarch.
This time, his father's words did not stop Huo Yun, his eyes were firm: "Dad, I know that we, as ministers, have no right to interfere in the Fifth Prince's affairs. But, Dad, the Fifth Prince wants to deal with His Highness, your cousin who grew up with you.
I should say something that I shouldn't say. Dad, my cousin is extremely intelligent, both civil and military, and no one in the entire dynasty can match him. However, my cousin is too upright, how can he resist those endless conspiracies and intrigues!
Everyone knows that my cousin has the blood of the Huo family, and he is not a person who would set traps for others. "
The Crown Prince has been following General Huo since he was a child, and grew up behind his cousin Huo Yun. He has the character of the Huo family in his bones. When Huo Yun said this today, he did not treat Yuan Ruiyuan as the Crown Prince, but as a cousin to his cousin.
General Huo glanced at his eldest son with a complicated look.
My eldest son is like me, a quiet and steady person. The fact that he said these words today probably means he already had some thoughts in his mind. He has really grown up.
After calculating the date, General Huo said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness comes to Xihu every year. Counting the days, it will be soon."
Huo Yun knew that his father didn’t want to continue this topic, but since things had already come to this point today, how could Huo Yun let his father just let it go? “Dad, His Highness is a man with a plan for success.
This time the tiger talisman has been handed into your hands. Doesn't it mean that Your Highness is going to take action against the Fifth Prince's men?
For so many years, the bandits sent by the Fifth Prince have controlled the food grains.
If they are really forced to move, how long can the Huo family army hold on!
Today, I also want to tell you something. Many years ago, His Highness had already started to lay out his plans in Jiangnan. Over the years, the Bai family has been able to cover the sky with one hand in Jiangnan, and the dirty things they have done are so numerous that I am afraid it would take ten days and ten nights to finish talking about them.
Looking at the bigger picture, wasn't the Tianyuan Dynasty plagued by external and internal troubles? To the west, there were the barbarians who would burn, kill and plunder at will; to the north, there were the ambitious Mongols; and the lifeline of food was in the hands of powerful officials who would not listen to the control of the court.
Can the Tianyuan Dynasty really survive like this? "
Huo Yun's words were powerful, and he knew that his father had heard them.
For so many years, Dad has been a loyal subject, watching Huo Yun in fear. Fortunately, His Highness is a wise ruler with a long-term vision, integrity and loyalty. Otherwise, the entire Huo family would be like a baby holding a large gold ingot and swaggering through the city, full of crises.
Giving his father some time to react, Huo Yun continued, "Dad, for so many years, His Highness has been doubting..."
General Huo seemed to have just finished a three-day and three-night battle and was completely exhausted. He glanced at his eldest son who was hesitating and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Tell me all the secrets in your heart today."
Huo Yun calmed himself down and slowly walked to his father's side: "Dad, His Highness suspects that the Fifth Prince is in collusion with the Western Barbarians."
There was a bang in his head. General Huo grabbed his son's arm tightly, and his voice trembled: "What did you say? Say it again."
Feeling that the wound on his arm might have opened again and was getting more and more painful, Huo Yun immediately broke out in a thin layer of sweat on his forehead: "Dad, colluding with the Western Barbarians and using them to weaken the strength of the Huo family army is a very good deal for the Fifth Prince."
The connection between the Fifth Prince and the Western Barbarians was extremely secretive. Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had put in a lot of effort, he could only find some clues and could not get 100% evidence.
However, this evidence alone is sufficient.
Letting go of his eldest son's hand, General Huo's eyes were filled with disbelief and hatred.
For so many years, the Huo family had been fighting desperately with the Western Barbarians for generations. As a result, the Huo family had been declining in numbers until his generation, when he and his sister had two children.
His father died on the battlefield against the Western Barbarians. At that time, General Huo had followed his father to the battlefield many times, but he could never adapt to the cruelty of the battlefield.
Witnessing his father's death with his own eyes brought a huge shock to General Huo. In the days that followed, whenever he thought about it, he felt heartache and could not sleep at night.
With a fierce look in his eyes, General Huo clenched his hands as if he wanted to embed the tiger talisman into his flesh!
If someone like the Fifth Prince were allowed to ascend to the supreme throne, I'm afraid the first thing he would do would be to cede the Western Hu to the Western Luo barbarians. By then, the place that the Huo family has guarded for generations would probably be in ruins!
Yang Qi's voice appeared in the yard at the right time: "Madam, who is this craftsman from the capital you are talking about? If there is a chance, Yang Qi would also like to ask this expert to help design the house."
Hearing the voice and footsteps of the person coming, General Huo closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes the next moment, his expression returned to normal.
Huo Yun returned to his original seat and sat upright, as if the person who had just been so emotional was not himself.
Because Yang Qi and the Duchess of England did not bring their maids or servants into the yard, Yang Qi quickly stepped forward and lifted the curtain for the Duchess of England.
The Duchess of England came into the room with a smile: "How did your conversation go?"
General Huo smiled and said, "Now that we've finished talking, how about the yard?"
The Duchess of England smiled but said nothing, just looking at Yang Qi quietly.
Feeling everyone's gazes in the room, Yang Qi lowered the curtain and said sincerely: "The layout of the courtyard just now is grand, transparent from front to back, with both the popular wood in Beijing and the characteristic stone of Xihu. It can be said to have achieved the ultimate in beauty and practicality!"
The Duchess of England smiled and said, "Please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, I'm afraid I will lose my way."
