Chapter 184 Face to face discussion
The Inspector Censor spoke passionately, "The young master of the Marquis' Mansion has indeed made great achievements in the past, but everyone knows that he has only just woken up and can't even walk properly. If the refugees saw the people who manage them like this... I'm afraid it would damage the reputation of Your Majesty."
The emperor frowned, not sure whether he agreed with him or not.
Sweat broke out on Huo Hou's forehead and he was very nervous.
He chose to meet Huo Jin, but was refuted by other ministers in front of the emperor.
If the emperor was really persuaded by those who refuted his views later, he would have a reputation for not being able to judge people well.
Huo Hou listened nervously to the Inspector Censor listing one by one, although the starting point was that Huo Jin had just woken up and was not used to the current situation, and his body was not suitable for long-term fatigue.
But in the final analysis, he was refuting the idea of letting Huo Jin meet with the Office of Administration.
"Your Majesty, I object to the Inspector General. Huo Jin is extremely talented, having started learning at the age of five. Furthermore, there has never been a unified method for managing refugees from ancient times to the present. Even if he has been unconscious for so long, what harm does it have to do?"
Where there are supporters, there are also opponents.
The emperor said nothing, but just watched them argue quietly.
After half an hour, there was still no result.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan." The prince suddenly stood up.
The crowd who had been arguing just now stopped and looked at the prince.
The emperor lowered his eyes to look at him, his voice a little tired: "Your request is granted."
"Since the debate is so inconclusive, why not have the two young masters of the Huo family come before the emperor in person to discuss governance strategies? The emperor is wise and will naturally know who to choose."
As soon as the prince said this, the ministers fell silent.
But Huo Hou was relieved.
He knows how much Huo Siyuan weighs.
Even in front of the emperor, Huo Jinjian would not lose to Huo Siyuan.
This way he won't get the reputation of being a bad judge of people.
Until now, Huo Hou has only been thinking about himself.
However, he realized that the prince intended to protect Huo Siyuan.
It seems that the relationship between Huo Siyuan and the prince is better than he imagined.
He couldn't help but straighten his back when he saw that his two sons, one was loved by the emperor and the other was trusted by the crown prince.
"What do you think, Lord Huo?" The emperor's eyes were meaningful.
Huo Hou immediately saluted.
"The prince's idea is fair and selfless, very good."
Marquis Huo thought that his words would not offend either the emperor or the crown prince.
Just when he was feeling proud of himself, Huo Hou felt a cold gaze falling on him.
When I looked up, the emperor just looked away.
Is it Your Majesty?
That shouldn't be the case.
Huo Hou just thought he had seen it wrong.
"Okay, let's do this matter as the prince said. My dear ministers, if you have nothing else to do, please leave the court." The emperor stood up, obviously not wanting to continue.
The court officials bowed to see the emperor off respectfully.
When leaving the hall, several high-ranking officials took the initiative to greet Lord Huo.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis! Both young masters have been trusted and will rise to prominence in the future. Don't forget us, your colleagues."
"Your Majesty is partial to the Marquis's family. No matter what, he has to choose someone from the Marquis's Mansion. It's really rare."
"I heard that Mr. Huo wanted to take a concubine a few days ago? My concubine's daughter is still unmarried. If she is interested in you——"
It was rare for Marquis Huo to enjoy such a glorious time. Even when he returned home, he always had a smile on his face and looked very happy.
He raised his hands and rolled up his sleeves, and ordered the servant beside him: "Go and warm up a pot of wine for this marquis. Oh, and tell the eldest and second young masters that they will need to come to the palace to see the emperor soon."
As long as they are not stupid, they will know the purpose of this meeting with the emperor.
The servant delivered Marquis Huo's words to the courtyards of the first and second wives.
Liang Moyuan was thoughtful after hearing this.
Meeting the emperor was nothing new to Huo Jinjian.
He turned his head and looked at Liang Moyuan, who was supporting her chin, as if thinking about something, and her delicate eyebrows were curved into the shape of a river.
"I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor, and you're not happy?" Huo Jin suddenly spoke, bringing Liang Moyuan back to her senses.
Liang Moyuan put down the hand that was supporting her chin and shook her head.
The hairpins and step-shakes on the head collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
"It's quite strange that the prince is suddenly protecting Huo Siyuan like this."
She really couldn't figure out what made Huo Siyuan so worthy of the prince's attention.
If it was something as ridiculous as last time, it wouldn't be that serious.
There are so many beauties in the world. No matter how beautiful the one Huo Siyuan sends is, she would not make the prince do this.
She fell into deep thought again.
In fact, Huo Jin knew the reason.
Last time, he sent secret guards to keep an eye on the Prince's Mansion, and discovered clues from the medicine residue that was thrown away daily.
The prince's ability has been impaired, which is unacceptable for an ordinary man, let alone a crown prince.
No wonder his personality changed so drastically.
The reason why Huo Siyuan was reused was probably because he knew the prince's secret.
However, Huo Jin did not tell Liang Moyuan about this.
Firstly, the things inside the palace walls were dangerous and unpredictable, and he didn't want Liang Moyuan to be involved.
The last time he was assassinated while accompanying the eldest princess to inspect the county lord was enough to explain the problem.
Secondly...
For some things, the less you know, the safer you will be.
Huo Jin reached out and separated the hairpin pendants that had just been entangled together.
As his hand moved down, it gently touched Liang Moyuan's cheek.
They both froze for a moment, then looked up at each other.
