Chapter 951: The Injustice of Gaogui Township
On the way into the palace city, Shao Xun was still thinking about the various preparations needed before the change of dynasty.
What we are working on now are actually relatively simple things that are also popular among subordinates, such as titles and military systems, because they involve sharing benefits.
The really hard nut to crack is actually yet to come.
The golden root car stopped slowly and slowly in front of Zhaoyang Palace.
After getting off the car, Shao Xun did not rush in, but walked around in front of the hall.
When he was the general in the palace, he also came to the harem and even caught toads.
At that time, when I saw the concubines in the harem, they looked loyal and courageous, but in fact they stiffened slightly to show respect.
When Taiji Palace captured Sima Yi, he did not dare to look at Yang Xianrong, and in the end he even knelt down at her feet.
But now Yang Xianrong - well, still refuses to kneel.
Shao Xun didn't dare to stand up and kick, because Yang Xianrong really had some feelings for him, although the feelings might be a bit abnormal.
After reminiscing about the past, Shao Xun felt a little satisfied and moved forward.
"Shao Qing." Queen Liang Lanbi stood under the corridor in front of the palace and saluted.
"The queen is a king, there is no need to be like this." Shao Xun returned the gift, and then looked at the queen carefully.
The move was a bit rude, but he didn't care much.
The queen is about the same age as him.
At this age, men are still lively and vigorous, but women are different.
Even though she has been pampered and pampered all these years, more than half of the queen's appearance has been lost, and she is no longer as beautiful as she once was.
But, am I, Shao Thief, such a superficial person?
I tell you, you look down on me too much.
Having seen so many beauties, his threshold has already been set as high as possible, and nothing can excite him.
There is no such thing as judging a book by its appearance. Empress Liang in her attire still made him feel excited again.
In the past twenty years, I have been exposed to wind and rain, eaten ice, slept in snow, and had my head and face covered with sand.
In the hot summer days, I feel dizzy and my skin gets sunburned, but I still have to keep training or fight hard.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, my fingers are as frozen as carrots, and my face hurts like being cut with a blunt knife, but I still have to fight loudly and shed blood.
After suffering so much, gaining supreme prestige, and then using it to untie the queen's dress, which symbolizes the majesty of the Jin Dynasty, and taste the queen's soft body, this is a kind of spiritual blasphemous pleasure, which is more satisfying than physical pleasure. He is comfortable.
This is Shao Thief's "realm".
He coughed slightly and said: "In March of the second year of Tai'an (303), I met the queen for the first time on the bank of Yishui. Unexpectedly, more than twenty years had passed."
Liang Lanbi looked a little startled after hearing this.
"Back then, Shao Qing talked freely about the situation in the world. He didn't believe it at that time, but now he found out that he was right." Liang Lanbi sighed softly, and his face became melancholy.
"Oh? I don't even remember what I said back then." Shao Xun shook his head and laughed.
"Wenjun was also here back then..." Liang Lanbi's expression became even worse, and she actually lost interest in continuing the conversation.
Shao Xun was sixteen years old then, and she was also sixteen years old.
Shao Xun is just a superintendent, not even an official.
She has been designated as Princess Yuzhang.
The status of the two of them is one in the sky and the other in the earth. Who knows what will happen next.
If she could live again, maybe she wouldn't be able to change anything.
"How is the Emperor?" Shao Xun noticed the change in Liang Lanbi's face, so he stopped talking about old times and talked about business.
Liang Lanbi was silent.
Shao Xun understood, nodded, and stepped inside.
Huang Zheng and others stood inside, nodding slightly.
Shao Xun looked around and saw that there were only two servants and one historian, so he didn't care and continued to move forward.
He knew that when killing powerful officials, some people would even hide in the cabinet with a knife, but Huang was a careful person and must have checked carefully.
Not to mention, Shao Xun still has a saber on his waist.
Not to boast, but he was really not afraid of three or five people rushing towards him. At worst, if you walk around the pillar, you will definitely kill these people one by one in the end.
Back then, he was also known as a fierce general.
In the early days of the troubled times, he even dared to defeat the army and kill generals Kai Wushuang.
Of course, now that everyone's military level has improved, he doesn't dare to use Wushuang anymore, as it can easily kill him.
Footsteps sounded in the empty palace room.
Sima Chi, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. When he saw Shao Xun, he was angry at first, and then felt a chill.
He looked around and saw only the queen who was entering the palace. He suddenly panicked, but he didn't want to lose face and just said: "Shao Qing is here?"
"See your majesty." Shao Xun saluted. , and then sat down directly.
"Why did Shao Qing bring a sword when he entered the palace?" Sima Chi asked.
"With this sword, I captured the rebel king, defeated the Liukou, defeated the Xiongnu, defeated the Xianbei, traveled across the river and brought the sky back." Shao Xun replied: "If I don't hold this sword, I would be quite worried. ”
Sima Chi was speechless.
"I came to the palace because I heard that His Majesty was in ill health. I was anxious, so I came to visit." Shao Xun continued: "I saw it today and I know it all."
Sima Chi remained silent.
Shao Xun waited for a while longer, and just when he was about to stand up and leave, Sima Chi suddenly said: "Why did you fail me?"
"Why did your Majesty say this? Shao Xun asked. "In the past, Sima Yue was a master of power and wanted to harm you. I couldn't bear it and reprimanded you many times. You are safe..."
"What your Majesty said is true." Shao Xun said: "However, the ministers protected Luoyang, so that the ancestral temple would have no shortage of food; they also carried out hundreds of battles, so that the barbarians would not succeed in their cruelty."
"If there are no ministers, Wang Mi The likes can also enter Luoyang, and the officials and ladies are driven away like dogs and chickens."
"If you don't have ministers, how can your majesty live in Pingyang? towards "If you don't have a minister, the people of the world will be unable to live in peace. They will wander in the ravines and lie stiffly on the side of the road. The sound of crying will reach to the sky, and the resentment will spread throughout the nine states."
"All these things show that I sincerely live up to your majesty, but your majesty accuses me of being ungrateful." Shao Xun sighed: "What can I say?"
When Sima Chi heard this, his face turned as red as a monkey's butt, but he was even more angry in his heart.
He knew very well that his physical condition was definitely not going to get better. And he had no children. After being the emperor for twenty years, he was nothing more than a puppet. He was so depressed that he almost went crazy.
In other words, this is a person who is full of resentment and distortion, but at the same time has no weakness.
Although Shao Xun's words were true, they only made him angrier, so he couldn't help but said: "There are treacherous people in the court who are saying that Jin Zuo will die, do you believe it?"
"You must believe it!"
"You accept this heresy and do unsubordinate things. If I succumb, I will only live a few more months. It is better to die early!"
"Why do you have to pretend? You can speed up the axe. I will not frown."
Shao Xun was too lazy to talk to the madman any more. He stood up, glanced at Sima Chi and said, "I dare not do anything about the old affairs of your noble country."
After that, he drifted away.
The historian sat behind the desk, and the paper was blank.
After a long time, he wrote: "The emperor accused the king of Liang of betraying the country and wished to die in the country. The king said to him, 'Isn't it the injustice of the noble countryman to do this?' Then he picked up his clothes and left."< br>
Shao Xun slowed down after leaving Zhaoyang Palace.
Liang Lanbi took a few steps quickly and followed him.
"If you have time, the Queen can give you some advice." Shao Xun said.
Liang Lanbi hummed, and then asked: "Will Shao Qing live in Luoyang forever?"
Shao Xun glanced at her and said, "Yes."
Liang Lanbi's face softened a little, and he asked again: "The rise and fall of things have happened since ancient times. I just don't know how Shao Qing will treat the Jin Dynasty?"
< br>Shao Xun stopped and said: "If your majesty can abdicate, I will follow the old rules of Han and Wei. If not, I will appoint a new king to do this."
If you do not abolish the emperor, Is that still called a powerful minister? We can even conduct a final test of the court based on this matter and clear out the remaining loyal ministers of the Jin Dynasty.
However, Shao Xun does not have to do this.
Entering the palace today is actually to see Sima Chi's physical and mental state. Now it seems that it is not very optimistic, and the Turtle Emperor can only rely on one breath to hold on.
Then, be prepared to implement alternative plans.
"I entered the East Palace yesterday and met the prince." Shao Xun added: "The prince is very intelligent and knows the general situation, so he is a blessed person. The Queen may be able to visit the East Palace and give some advice."
Liang Lanbi remained silent.
The winter sunshine shone on her body, making her feel a little gloomy.
Shao Xun didn't know what to say, so he just said: "The days are long. Queen, please take care. Please pay more attention to matters in the palace. I—"
Before he finished, he cupped his hands and left.
Just after walking dozens of steps, we met a group of eunuchs and palace people.
"Meet the king." The leading middle-aged eunuch led everyone in salute.
“Hou Laosan.” Shao Xun smiled and said, “Please get up quickly.”
Hou Laosan stood up with a flattering smile and stood aside.
This man is from Donghai, only a few miles away from Shao Xun's hometown. It is said that he is a distant relative of Hou Feihu.
Shao's mother, Mrs. Liu, suspected that Hou Laosan had not repaid the money she owed before, and felt that there was something wrong with his character, so Shao Xun refused to let him enter the harem.
However, he felt that this person had a keen mind, was very sensible, and had good ability to do things, so he appointed him.
After the political center gradually returned to Luoyang, Hou Laosan was transferred from Ningshuo Palace, and Shao Xun directly gave him the position of regular attendant.
Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, due to the establishment of the Taige system, the power of internal officials (not necessarily eunuchs) has been greatly restricted, and they can no longer call the shots as they did in the Later Han Dynasty.
Coupled with the implementation of the Nine-Rank Officials and Personnel Law, the power of the gentry increased dramatically, and the eunuchs rose up among the group of internal officials, completely replacing the regular servants. In short, the power group of eunuchs has been replaced by the gentry. overwhelming.
For now, the group of internal servants generally includes Sanqi (Liu Sanqi), Shizhong, Huangmen Shilang, Gishizhong, Zhongchangshi, etc.
Theoretically, eunuchs can hold the positions of regular servants, regular servants, and regular servants, but the latter two are basically monopolized by the nobles. Although they have no specific leadership, they just follow the emperor, similar to advisers. , but the actual energy cannot be underestimated.
The position of Zhongchangshi was not even permanent. This was because during the Cao Wei Dynasty, scattered cavalry were placed to combine with Zhongchangshi, which caused the latter to disappear for a time.
After the Sima family conquered the country, the regular servants appeared again, but they were very few and had little power, so they could only manage the harem.
Hou Laosan became a regular servant, and he was already very satisfied, because he was nothing before.
Shao Xun was also more polite to him because he didn't want Zong Ai to happen to him.
"Don't slack off in matters in the palace." Shao Xun said, "Your children will all be rich and honorable, so don't worry."
After hearing this, Hou Laosan wiped his hands. With tears in her eyes, she said: "When my daughter got married, the queen actually sent someone to give her a gift, and the servant burst into tears with gratitude. I can only use this broken body to serve the king."
Shao Xun smiled after hearing this and said, "We still want to share the wealth."
After that, he patted Hou Laosan on the shoulder, got in the car and left.
Hou Laosan has been standing there. After the chariot driver was no longer in sight, he said to his left and right: "Your Majesty, benevolent, dismiss the Luoyang palace people and let them choose their own husbands. This matter is important, you. Let’s do it as soon as possible. From now on, only the old people from Ningshuo Palace will be seen in Luoyang Palace.” Everyone responded, with Wang Chen being the loudest.
