Chapter 134 Transaction
Sikong is still on his way to Xuchang and will eventually return to Luoyang. But people in Luoyang seem to have little feeling about it, and very few people are talking about it.
What everyone is talking about is the legendary "one thousand to one hundred thousand", although the actual situation is not that.
The emperor was very willing to believe this kind of thing, and was extremely excited. Although this bad battle was all about his ministers stabbing each other, it was meaningless, and all that was lost was the vitality of the Central Plains.
"Shao Xun can make chicken soup and fight. Isn't he a talent for managing the world?" Emperor Sima Zhong said while eating cakes in Hualin Garden.
Queen Yang Xianrong responded perfunctorily.
Emperor, do you really not know what it means for Sima Yue to return to Beijing?
You can eat poisonous cakes now, but I won’t be able to guarantee you a poisonous cake in the future, alas.
Sheep Xianrong is really a bit sad.
She was a little scared.
In the more than a year since Sima Yue was away, she had done a lot to protect herself.
She was not unaware of the risks.
In fact she knew it very well. If she had a choice, she would prefer to divorce the emperor, just like Wang Huifeng divorced the prince, and go home to live.
With the Jin Dynasty like this, even if Jia Nanfeng is the second best, so what? It's useless, she is still the target of public criticism, and she still cannot escape the fear of her life.
But if you divorce the emperor, you can only imagine it. Who will allow it?
She could only stay in this palace, planning things in vain for her future, hoping to gain temporary peace, until the Jin Dynasty collapsed.
I feel desperate just thinking about it.
"The queen has not eaten since morning and noon. How about making a cake?" Seeing that the queen did not speak, Sima Zhong suddenly picked up a piece of warm Hu cake and handed it over.
For a moment, Yang Xianrong was a little moved, but after taking the cake, the emotion dissipated.
She is a very realistic person. After several times of being abolished, she has seen through many things.
The emperor is a good man, but he is just a good man.
In this world, good people are useless, ruthless people are more at home.
Is Shao Xun a ruthless person? So far it seems yes.
At the time of Tai Chi Hall, he killed people neatly and without batting an eye.
At that time in Jin Yongcheng, to be honest, she was a bit charming, but this man just didn't take the bait, although even if he did, it wouldn't give him any sweetness.
The incident in Jinguyuan has no further details.
Is this still a human being after receiving the benefits without showing any expression?
Yang Xianrong didn’t know how to win over Shao Xun.
What is certain at present is that this person is ambitious.
No one else knows the news about the Xuchang Arsenal case, but the wealthy families in Yingchuan know more or less about it, and the palace has also heard about it.
Based on this, Yang Xianrong further confirmed his judgment that Shao Xun was ambitious and not small.
He and Sima Yue should have become inseparable, right?
So, how to take advantage of this?
She has no clue yet.
"Queen, has Shao Xun returned to the capital?" The emperor suddenly asked: "I will give him a sword to dig out all the hiding toads. I don't want to hear them scream anymore, I Want to eat.”
“Not yet.” Yang Xianrong said casually: “Didn’t there be rumors in Beijing that Shao Xun went to the old site of Guangcheng Garden?”
!
Yang Xianrong's heart moved. Shao Xun had a purpose in everything he did. What was he doing in Guangcheng Garden?
The place has been abandoned for hundreds of years and there is nothing there. What does he want to do?
Yang Xianrong was very curious for a while and wanted to find someone to investigate and find out the whole story.
She subconsciously felt that something could be done here.
******
Shao Xun returned to the capital in early November.
When passing by Sikong Mansion, I turned my head and took a look, as if expecting to see something.
All I saw were servants.
The servant recognized him and bowed respectfully. Then Shi Xulang, the gate commander, threw away the military book and ran out to say hello.
Shao Xun signaled with his eyes, waved his hands repeatedly, and left under Xu Lang's doubtful eyes.
I have been to the palace several times before, and every time I am always smiling and walking briskly. Why is it that this time I feel like I am running away?
After staying at home for one night, early the next morning, someone came to the palace, and the emperor asked him to see him.
Damn it! Word travels so fast.
This house in the city must be under surveillance.
Alas! Shao Xun pretended to think for a moment, there are so many famous people. The generals in the palace, who hold important positions in charge of the palace guards, are indeed the number one figures in the capital. No palace conspiracy or coup can avoid them.
Before leaving, he thought for a while and asked the servant to bring the two huts with him.
The group of people went to the palace city in this way. When they passed the Duanmen, the servants returned to the mansion and the bed was placed at the door.
"General." Yang Bao jumped out of nowhere. When he approached Shao Xun, he didn't know whether he was excited or not, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Zhu Yang and I belong to the left and right guards respectively. Why is this necessary?" Shao Xun said in surprise.
Yang Bao was a little embarrassed. He was so excited just now that his legs were weak. However, his expression remained unchanged, he bowed and then stood up. The whole set of movements was extremely smooth, without any hesitation, as if he had wanted to do this in the first place.
"I can become the owner of the building, thanks to Lang Jun's kind words. This great kindness and virtue will always be remembered in my heart." Yang Bao said.
Shao Xun didn’t believe what he said at all.
But Yang Bao knelt down and worshiped him today in front of so many people, which was indeed unusual.
Therefore, he said pleasantly: "You and I are both from the same country, and it is our duty to help each other." Yang Bao nodded repeatedly and said: "Lang Jun wants to enter the palace? I have received a military order and will send someone to escort him."
When Shao Xun heard this, he knocked on his helmet with his fist and said: "What is my identity? How can I be worthy of being escorted by Su Wei?"
" Then pick a few old brothers to help Lang Jun carry the belongings in." After Yang Bao finished speaking, he immediately ordered a few people without waiting for Shao Xun to refuse.
After a while, seven or eight people rushed over. When they saw Shao Xun, they all saluted: "See you, general."
Shao Xun saw that they were indeed old brothers. Some of them even fought with him in Piyong, and now they have become captains and captains. He immediately patted their shoulders and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year since the Royal Army was disbanded."
“I wish I could return to the general’s tent.” Several people sighed in unison.
"There will be a chance." Shao Xun laughed, and then surrounded by everyone, he entered the Duanmen.
His reputation among the Forbidden Army is indeed quite high now.
During the Royal Army period, he led training as Lieutenant Sima, and many people knew him.
Several wars further spread his fame.
He personally led more than 6,000 soldiers in the kingdom's central army, and sometimes he also dispatched the elites of the upper and lower armies to fight. During the great expansion of the Forbidden Army, many of these people obtained positions of commander, team leader, or even higher.
Just like Chen Jinbu, the Lieutenant General of the Youweidian who is on duty at the palace today, there are many old subordinates from those days who pay attention to him wherever he goes.
"I have to find opportunities to get together with them in the future." Shao Xun thought as he walked: "If the relationship is in place, even if they are not willing to follow the rebellion for the time being, there will be many other benefits. Sima Yue, who is aloof, , How to understand the friendship between warriors? This kind of fame will always come into play one day."
Tai Chi Hall soon arrived, but this was not the destination. The group walked a long way and finally arrived. It's not over until you reach Hualin Garden.
"Meet Your Majesty and the Queen." Shao Xun knelt on the ground and saluted.
Coincidentally, the queen still seems to be wearing the long dress she wore when she captured Sima Yi.
Gorgeous, majestic, and beautiful, it makes people want to tear it apart.
"Shao Qing, get up quickly." The emperor was eating and said a little unclearly.
"Shao Qing." Queen Yang Xianrong pressed the emperor's shoulder, motioning him to be quiet, then looked at Shao Xun and said.
"I'm here," Shao Xun responded.
When you were in Jinyong City, you didn’t have this attitude.
At that time, he was shaking his white and tender arms, deliberately tempting me.
Although I control the queen, I still control it.
"Ma Jichang of the Later Han Dynasty once wrote: "Fang Yuhuang, Lian Shizhou, Zhang Yunfan, Shi Nigui, the wind is blowing, the tomb is flowing quickly, singing songs, singing in the water, and the obscene fish coming out, Cai Fu, Xiang Lingxia, Han women swim...'" Yang Xianrong said with a vague smile, "I wonder if Shao Qing has ever heard of it?"
Yu Huang, Shi Zhou is the name of the ship in the southern region.
Connecting these boats with iron ropes and swimming in the lake is a scene of the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty playing in the Guangchengyuan Lake.
Yang Xianrong must have meant something when he said this.
Your answer at this time will determine many things, so you must be cautious.
"I have heard that it is about the grand scenery of Guangcheng Garden in the Later Han Dynasty." Shao Xun replied.
The emperor was still eating, and Yang Xianrong walked slowly, far and near from Shao Xun, and said, "Has Shao Qing been to Guangcheng Garden?"
"Been." The tip of his nose A few wisps of fragrant fragrance came, but there was no smell of the sea. Shao Xun felt very comfortable smelling it and replied: "Although Guangcheng Garden has been abandoned, it has magnificent mountains and rivers and magnificent scenery. The gardens of the Later Han Dynasty still exist, and we can sincerely recall the past prosperity." Scenery."
"Your Majesty." Yang Xianrong walked briskly around Shao Xun, walked up to the emperor, and lightly opened his lips and said, "Maybe you can send someone to Guangcheng Garden to investigate, if there are really many. According to the color, the garden can be slightly restored since the late Han Dynasty. In the middle of summer, there will be a place for boating and playing in the water. "I don't want to go that far," Sima Zhong said with a frown.
He is stupid in some places and not stupid in others.
When a palace is built in another place, if he insists, it is not impossible to go, but he will definitely support him. Even Sikong Sima Yue, who is about to return to Luoyang, will follow him.
None of them want me to leave their hands, and they will follow me wherever I go.
"Your Majesty..." Yang Xianrong said dissatisfied.
"Forget it, let's send someone to investigate first." Sima Zhong said helplessly.
Shao Xun listened silently.
Emperor Sima Zhong was actually very easy to get along with and very cooperative with his powerful ministers.
Why was such a good puppet killed by Sima Yue? It doesn't make sense.
It was Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty who fought against Sima Yue every day. However, he won over many courtiers and generals and began to "pro-government", forcing Sima Yue out of Luoyang.
You are not Sima Lun or Sima Yi, do you know that you do not have the prestige and ability to control the emperor?
Or, there are some secrets that have not been recorded in history books. What happened? However, this is difficult to know.
After the emperor agreed to the visit, Yang Xianrong slowly straightened up and looked at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun hesitated slightly.
He knew that Yang Xianrong wanted to make a deal with him.
Perhaps there are some other conspiracies?
But he is really helpless. Why are you getting involved in the place I like?
Don't you just want me to promise that when I'm on duty at Miyagi, I can withstand the pressure and protect her and the emperor's safety?
It’s not that I can’t agree to this, but not now.
The relationship between him and Sima Yue is very sensitive now, so it is best not to cause trouble.
Yang Xianrong, messing around all day long, can’t calm down!
If you have the energy to plot a conspiracy, why not lend me some money?
