Chapter 21 first plot uncovered

When the Huo family went downhill, Mr. Huo Yun's uncle, Mr. Li Jing, had a friend named Zhang She.This gentleman secretly suggested to Mr. Li Jing: "Now the prime minister, Mr. Wei Xiang, and Mr. Xu Guanghan, Marquis of Ping'en, are in power. I am afraid that one day they will be over the Huo family. But you still have a way out, that is, Grandma Huo Xian is asked to come forward and persuade her granddaughter, the Empress Dowager Shangguan. The Empress Dowager Shangguan will order that Wei Xiang and Xu Guanghan be killed first. It's the best way to draw fire from the bottom of the pot." The problem is, when the Huo family has military power, this idea is a good idea because it has the possibility of success.Now, since the military power is gone, it is equivalent to throwing away the knife and then going to fight the tiger. This idea is a bad idea, and it is a terrible bad idea.What's even worse is that this terrible bad idea, which cannot be kept secret, was actually heard by the Huo family's groom.It so happened that Mr. Zhang Zhang, a small citizen in Chang'an, was friends with the groom, and came to seek refuge with the groom. The groom was kind enough to let him live in the dormitory.The down-and-out man was restless and couldn't fall asleep for a while, but the grooms thought he was asleep, and whispered and talked about it.Mr. Zhang Zhang - when he heard it in his ears, he secretly rejoiced: "Wealth and glory, this is one action." The next day, he wrote a report letter and directly reported to the emperor.As I said before, any memorials in the past had to go through the "Lingshangshushi" (Secretary-General of the Palace Confidentiality), but now they don't go through it anymore, so this report letter was sent directly to Mr. Liu Xun.The Ministry of Justice (Tingwei) took immediate action to arrest Mr. Li Jing, and ordered the commander of the capital garrison (Zhi Jinwu) to arrest Mr. Zhang She who had fled after hearing the news.

However, shortly thereafter, Mr. Liu Xun ordered that no further investigation should be pursued, and Mr. Li Jing should be released.Deposing the emperor was a serious conspiracy that could lead to the death of tens of thousands of people, but it was suddenly and routinely wiped out, which made the Huo family even more panicked.They understood that it was because the incident involved the empress dowager, Shangguan, but they just stood still for the time being, and the storm was still brewing.It happened that Mr. Li Jing left a statement against the Huo family in the Ministry of Justice (Ting Wei)-this should be expected.Therefore, Mr. Liu Xun believed that Mr. Huo Shan, the confidential secretary-general, and Mr. Huo Yun, the deputy commander of the capital garrison, were no longer suitable to serve as senior officials, and ordered them to retire, but they still kept their marquis.So far, in the Huo family, except for Mr. Huo Yu who is still an empty minister of defense (Da Sima), all others have been expelled from the power center.And Mr. Liu Xun no longer maintains the old courtesy to Mr. Huo Yu, who is the only one who is still in the government, and from time to time he shows a face that makes Mr. Huo Yu embarrassed.Some of Ms. Huo Xian's daughters are all aunts of the Empress Dowager Shangguan. Not only are they senior, but they are also older. Every time they enter the palace, they are crowded together with the Empress Dowager Shangguan, chatting and loving each other, and now they have become crimes.One day, Mr. Liu Xun asked Mr. Huo Yu sternly: Why didn't the women of the Huo family follow the royal etiquette when they met with the empress dowager?The so-called royal etiquette is the slave etiquette of kowtowing and kneeling.Mr. Liu Xun asked by the way: Who are Feng Zi?With whose power do you dare to bully the weak in Chang'an?The question left Mr. Huo Yu speechless and sweating profusely.Woohoo, the Huo family has never suffered such face-to-face insults, and insults are the harbinger of even greater disasters.The timid ones start to lose their minds, while the bold ones are full of anger—an anger generated after the villain is frustrated. He vows that the Huo family will never continue to accept this kind of insult, and an emergency response must be taken.The old woman, Ms. Huo Xian, as the head of the family, was even more disturbed. She once dreamed that Mr. Huo Guang warned her: "Do you know, you are going to arrest me?" Come to make an arrest.Moreover, there are endless weird things. "Hanshu" records: "The number of mice in the house suddenly increased, scurrying around, and sometimes bumping into people. [The trumpet bird] built its nest on the tree in the garden, making creepy calls." The door collapsed for no reason, and someone seemed to see a ghost sitting on Mr. Huo Yun's house, lifted the roof tiles, and threw them into the ground."

——The sudden increase of rats was obviously because the Huo family was in great danger, and the whole family was in dire straits, and no one was going to clean up the environment anymore.The gate collapsed and the roof tiles fell, which shows the lack of care and let it decay. [No. bird] bird, Strixuralersis, commonly known as owl, is an animal that grows in a secluded jungle.Its right and left eyes can't see anything in the sun, so it has to sleep a lot during the day and come out to work at night.In fact, it is impossible for it to enter an inhabited house, whether it is a deep house compound or not.And it actually entered." Once again, it shows that the people of Huo's family are in a trance and their hearts are scattered. Don't say that owls nest in trees and no one cares about them. I'm afraid that tigers broke into the kitchen and no one cares about them. Any grandiose Once a family of officials and officials loses power, the first phenomenon is the barrenness of the residence. Husband, not only the Huo family, but also ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, without exception.
