Chapter 47: The Emperor's Sister 16 (Page 2/2)

Zheng is in touch.

    Huo Zheng had made many military achievements at a young age. When he was young, he conquered Nanzhao and flattened the Western Regions. Wherever his cavalry passed, there was no land that he could not conquer. The Tiger and Wolf Guards under his command were even more famous. The emperor relied on and loved him very much, and even never took back the military power in his hands. This was an honor that even Huo Zheng's father, the Duke of Zhenguo, had never had.

    Huo Zheng alone had a million troops, plus the Tiger and Wolf Guards had 5,000 elite soldiers. It can be said that most of the military power of the Great Chu Dynasty was in the hands of Huo Zheng. Unfortunately, the Huo family was still a lone minister who was only loyal to the emperor and had never defected to the power of any prince.

    However, the struggle for the succession became more and more intense. No matter which prince wanted to grasp as many bargaining chips as possible, let alone Huo Zheng, who had a large number of troops.

    However, Huo Zheng was outside the Great Wall all year round and rarely returned to Beijing. This time should be the longest time he returned to Beijing. Several princes tried their best to win over Huo Zheng. However, he is a decent person, does not like those evil tricks, and does not accept bribes. Previously, the Eighth Prince tried to bribe Huo Zheng with beauty, but was ridiculed by Huo Zheng, and then left without caring about the Eighth Prince's face.

    Later, some princes used some secret means, but they all ended up losing face. Not only did they fail to win over the other party, but they also put the dispute over the throne on the table, which made the princes look even more ugly.

    The fourth prince Jun Yuqi was much more calm. He was not as aggressive as his brothers, but quietly observed Huo Zheng's character and prepared to cater to his preferences and take the opportunity to make friends with him during the Spring Search.

    Jun Yuqi's calculations were crackling, but who knew that Jun Yan was assassinated just a few days after the Spring Search. Huo Zheng was then ordered to investigate the assassin and withdrew from the Spring Search in advance, making his plan fail.

    So Jun Yuqi had to control his temper and wait for an opportunity. He waited and waited, and finally this golden opportunity came. He hoped that Jun Yan could introduce him, and it would not be abrupt for him to invite Huo Zheng to a banquet under Jun Yan's name.

    But what he did not expect was that Jun Yan was like a fool and just did not get it.

    When the emperor made such a request, Jun Yan's pretty face showed some embarrassment, "Imperial brother...but I am not very familiar with him...we have only met a few times, it can't be considered a friendship...besides, I think Master Huo is busy training troops and selecting generals now, and he certainly has no time to deal with these mundane matters. It would not be too late for the emperor to wait for Master Huo to return from Beidi before inviting him to a banquet to express his gratitude."

    Jun Yuqi's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. If he really waited until then, what was the use of Jun Yan?

    Jun Yuqi forced a smile and tried to persuade Jun Yan, but Jun Yan refused to help him introduce him. In the end, Jun Yuqi finally understood that Meimei didn't know his intentions, but just didn't want to get involved in this mess.

    "Brother, if you really want to thank Huo Zheng for Meimei, why don't you go to the emperor? I think if it's the emperor's order, Huo Zheng will not dare to refuse." Jun Yan was a little impatient. Huo Zheng made a fuss for most of the night last night, and got up early to go back to the palace today. It was tiring to sit here patiently and listen to him for a long time.

    Jun Yuqi's face changed slightly. Let him tell the emperor? If he really said it, wouldn't he be nakedly showing his wolfish ambition in front of the emperor?

    Then he didn't have to fight for the position of the crown prince!
