Chapter 956 Zhengdan’s Dream
The pace of time does not depend on anyone’s will, and it has firmly entered the eleventh year of the Turtle (327).
On this day, Sima Chi woke up in a daze.
When I opened my eyes slightly, I saw that the room was deserted. There were only two palace ladies sitting on the bed and dozing off.
"Come here!" Sima Chi shouted softly.
The palace people woke up instantly and stood up immediately. After seeing clearly that it was Sima Chi, they relaxed and saluted together: "Your Majesty."
"There was quite a lot of movement outside, people coming and going... Why? "Yeah?" Sima Chi asked.
When he said this, his breath was already a little uncomfortable, and it was quite difficult to watch.
"Your Majesty, there is a Zhengdan court meeting today." One of them said.
After hearing this, Sima Chi shrank his pupils, stretched out his left hand, pointed tremblingly at the palace servant who had just spoken, and asked: "Who are you? Why can't you speak Mandarin well?"
The palace man lowered his head and said: "I am an old man from Ningshuo Palace."
"Huns?"
The palace man was silent, obviously acquiescing.
"Sin's family -" Sima Chi took a breath and asked: "Sin's family's origin?"
This sentence made the palace man a little nervous, and his eyes were not very peaceful. .
"Since they are the relatives of sinners, they must...must have been originally from an official family." Sima Chi wanted to sneer, but found that he could no longer do it, so he could only say with difficulty: "Since you are humiliated, why not kill Thief Shao?"
said After all, I may have felt that this sentence was too bold, so I couldn't help but cough.
I was coughing and coughing, and felt a little tight in my chest, almost out of breath.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since Shao Thief became more and more prestigious, his health was getting worse day by day, and various diseases came one after another.
Sometimes I wake up from sleep, sometimes my pillow is wet with night sweats, and sometimes I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Last year I accidentally fell and my elbow broke.
To this day, it is difficult to get up.
He doesn't care anymore. He has no children and the ancestral temple will collapse. He doesn't want to see Shao Thief being proud now.
Kill the king if he can. Anyway, he is forty-four years old and has lived a long life.
"Me! Me! What am I?" Hou Laosan suddenly walked in, looked at the palace servant with a stern look, waved his hand, and said: "Everyone, step aside."< br>
The palace people bowed and left.
Sima Chi stared at the back of the palace man regretfully, and then looked away for a long time and then looked at Hou Laosan, saying: "You came from the palace to serve in the middle age, wouldn't it... wouldn't it bring shame to the ancestors?"
Hou Laosan smiled when he heard this and said: "I He has two sons and two daughters, both of whom are married, and have many children and grandchildren. The king of Liang sent people to bring them to Luoyang and gave them ten hectares of farmland and five hectares of forest and grass. The family is so prosperous. Isn't this a glorious ancestor?" br>
Sima Chi was stunned speechless.
Hou Laosan said proudly: "One of the two palace servants just now is the daughter-in-law of Liu Han's servant Butai. How noble was her status in the past, but now she is not at my mercy? She dare not listen to you That's right. All the men in Bu Tai's family were killed, but this woman had a son who was not beheaded because he was too young and was raised in Ye Ting. It's useless to say that."
Sima Chi coughed violently, and after a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, his throat made a hiccup, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.
Hou Laosan was startled.
This! If Sima Chi died like this, he was afraid that he would die as well, so he hurriedly summoned the imperial physician waiting outside to examine him inside.
After a lot of work, I discovered that Sima Chi had been blocked by phlegm and almost suffocated to death. Fortunately, he was finally rescued.
Hou Laosan's breathing was also very heavy, and he subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Sima Chi recovered, and no longer had the energy to act like a monster. He just looked at the curtains with dull eyes and murmured: "Thief Shao must die! He must not die well!"
"King Langya... Langya The king still has it for me... ...Half of the country, I will raise my arms and call out in the future...I will definitely kill the thief Shao."
As he spoke, his spirit became more and more exhausted, and he slowly fell into a coma, and the sound of "kill the thief" in his mouth also disappeared. Gradually becomes inaudible.
Seeing that everything was alright, the imperial doctor smiled awkwardly and slipped out of the room with the medicine box.
Hou Laosan felt sweat dripping down his back and cursed secretly.
He has a bit of a naughty temperament, otherwise he wouldn't have paid back the money he owed as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Sima Chi was sleeping peacefully at this time, he raised his right arm and shook it, and cursed in a low voice: "If you say a random word, I'll give you a punch."
Of course, these words are everywhere. When he was a man, he just had a lot of fun with his words. If he really punched the emperor in front of other people, even if it was just a threat, King Liang would kill him.
After walking out of the palace gate with his hands behind his back, he saw that the sky was already bright.
More palace servants and guards were transferred to the Tai Chi Hall in front.
Hou Laosan walked dozens of steps forward and faintly heard congratulations coming from the front.
Today, there are many people coming to the Zhengdan court meeting. Even the King of Liang is here in person.
There may be hundreds of officials, lieutenant generals, and barbarian chiefs. The Jin Dynasty has never been able to summon so many powerful people. Even during the Taikang period when the country was at its peak, all Never.
This world should indeed change.
******
In the square in front of Taiji Palace, the palace people have finished cleaning up the traces left by Ting Liao at night.
In the main hall of Tai Chi, the throne hangs empty.
Shao Xun and Prince Sima Duan of the Supervisory State were a little polite, and then sat on the lower left side of the throne.
Sima Duan sits at the lower right.
Officials came in one by one to congratulate, presented gift lists, and chanted blessings endlessly.
Not long after, Tongshisheren sang to Hua Heng, the prefect of Chenjun (formerly the prefect of Yingchuan).
Hua Heng entered the hall, kowtowed and said, "I saw a Ruimai plant in the area where the King of Liang in the county was farming. My father was curious about it, so I offered it to him." As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits were lifted, both inside and outside.
Shao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "What's the meaning of Ruimai?"
Hua Heng said loudly: "The king pacified Zhongxia and restored all the old lands. The Yin Mountains of North Vietnam , across the Miasma Sea in the south, to the Jieshi in the east, and to the quicksand in the west, Huaisheng Lun is not happy, so this is the result of the restoration of heaven and earth. "
Sima Duan. I shuddered after hearing this.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, his face became even paler, and he could only say: "It is clear that we are removing the old and replacing the old with the new."
Shao Xun smiled slightly and said: "Hua Qing has passed, please step back."
"Yes." Hua Heng stood up and, led by the halberd in the hall, left the Tai Chi Hall from the side.
After Hua Heng, more than ten people came in, and they all presented normal local specialties. It was not until the Eastern Sea History He Sui that a pair of white rabbits were presented.
"I sent someone to repair the old king's house and saw a pair of white rabbits in the farmland. They walked away when they saw the people. When they reached the waterside, they suddenly stopped and found them." He Sui said.
"What's the explanation for this auspiciousness?" Shao Xun asked again.
"The rabbit's fur is brown and turns white when he is five hundred years old. This is auspicious. It is the king's upper body and heavenly heart, and his lower body is in pursuit of human desires, so God sent this auspiciousness to reward the king." He Sui said: "This is Nai Tianzan.”
“It’s passed, it’s passed.” Shao Xun waved his hand and looked at Sima Duan.
Sima Duan was silent for a moment, and then said: "As you said, the political affairs of the Jin Dynasty will disappear, and the auspicious rabbit will run away, and the virtue of gold will end, and the virtue of water will rise."
Shao Xun shook his head and laughed, waving He Sui to leave.
Then someone else offered auspiciousness.
In Yingchuan County, there is a Bingtilian that has been preserved to this day, and in Wei County, there is an auspicious turtle with writings on its back, and so on.
At the end, Shao Xun stood up and came to the pavilion and said: "How can the auspiciousness of the world belong to the beasts?"
"It belongs to the capable ministers who are diligent in the king's affairs."
"He is a good general guarding the border fortress."
"It will make the world unified, and all barbarians and Xia will be safe, and all living things will never suffer from war."
"Without this, what's the use of having hundreds of Ruimai plants and thousands of white rabbits?" After finishing speaking, , smiled and said: "The congratulations have been completed, and we have given you a banquet in the corridor. Now we can have a good time."
"Yes." All the ministers responded one after another.
The sound reached the palace, and Sima Duan sighed secretly.
He knew that day was getting closer.
It has been many years since King Liang came to Luoyang to attend the Zhengdan Dynasty. Before that, he was either in Bianliang or Pingyang, independent of himself, with his own official congratulations.
Now that he has come to Luoyang, he keeps showing up and building momentum one after another. When the momentum reaches its peak, it is the time to see the truth.
To be honest, Sima Duan was just a little scared, but he did not regret everything he did because he had no choice.
He just hopes that this puppet will be played as soon as possible so that he can be freed.

News from the previous dynasty spread back to the back room bit by bit.
Hou Laosan sat peacefully in the palace and even drank tea leisurely.
"Wang Taiwei said, 'Since Yongjia, the government has gradually lost its image, the world has collapsed, and people have been devastated.'" A palace official reported: "It is also said that 'The king of Liang used his strategies to destroy evil, provide relief and compassion for disasters, bring order to chaos, and restore order. God creates again. Therefore, God does not praise it. Absolutely, there is such auspiciousness. On this occasion, we should follow the heart of heaven, follow the desires of people, and inherit the destiny of heaven. '"
I don’t know if it is an illusion, but Hou Laosan felt that the palace man said this. At this time, Sima Chi's breath suddenly weakened.
He paused, stood up and came to Sima Chi's bed.
Sima Chi's eyes had stopped moving.
Hou Laosan observed carefully and felt strangely flustered. He subconsciously stretched out his finger and placed it under Sima Chi's nose. After finding that he was still breathing, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he didn’t want to get angry with Sima Chi anymore.
Why bother a dying person?
Strictly speaking, this world is not his responsibility alone.
Although he and Sima Yue were fighting for power and profit, making the world go further into the abyss, there were still many people who were doing bad things in the world.
Hou Laosan sat like this all day long. Except for going to the toilet and eating, he stayed next to Sima Chi, acting like his filial son.
In the afternoon, the palace servants brought corn porridge. Sima Chi got up with difficulty, took a few bites, and then fell asleep again.
After falling asleep, I was still mumbling words.
Hou Laosan leaned down and listened, and found that most of the words were nonsense.
It said something like "I killed Sima Yue", something like "Shao Xun tied himself down from the steps and kowtowed to plead guilty", something like "King Langya's army captured Yuzhou" and so on.
Hou Laosan wanted to laugh when he heard it. It’s good to dream, there is everything in the dream.
After midnight, Sima Chi got up and ate some porridge again, and then continued to dream.
This time, "the country must not fall into the hands of rebellious ministers and traitors."
Hou Laosan got tired of it, and in the end he didn’t even bother to listen.
So for several days.
Until one day, when it was extremely difficult to help Sima Chi get up to eat, Hou Laosan knew that the time had come.
(I’m too busy at work, I haven’t gotten off work yet, I just finished coding, sorry. Also, this volume is over.)
