Chapter 429: Washing the Lord and Holding the Cover
It is November, and the lake has actually been frozen with a thin layer of ice.
The boats sailed on it, making a creaking sound.
After setting foot on the island in the middle of the lake, Shao Xun walked around and looked carefully.
"When I was a general in the palace, I had never been to this place." Shao Xun pointed to the obviously renovated palace room and said: "When Emperor Wei Wen built Jiuhua Terrace, although Wu and Shu were still there, the country was still powerful. It’s booming. Today, Jiuhua Terrace is being rebuilt, but I don’t know why.”
Wang Yan and others found it difficult to accept this.
Yes, the country has become like this. Are you still building palaces and palaces?
Well, it seems that the late emperor also built Guangcheng Palace and the general Caiguan who supervised the construction of Guangcheng Garden...
"Where is the emperor?" Shao Xun entered the main hall and asked someone to bring in a bed. , Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and asked.
Wang Yan, Xun Fan, Liu Tun, Zheng Yu, Xun Zu, Yu Min and other important ministers had different expressions on their faces.
After a long time, Wang Yan stood up and said: "The Emperor has set out from Zhaoyang Palace and is almost at Hualin Garden. During the court meeting this morning, the Emperor also said that he would come to Tianyuan Pond to look for plum blossoms in the snow. Maybe he will come here. "Yeah." He led his troops out of the city to practice." Wang Yan said.
"The captain is interested." Shao Xun smiled and nodded.
Wang Yan sighed.
There are many people here, so it is not convenient for him to ask some questions.
But he also knew that Shao Xun had long been dissatisfied with the emperor and had accumulated anger for a long time.
Although there was a reason for the suspension of grain and fodder this time, he obviously didn't want to let it go and wanted to teach the emperor a lesson so as not to target him everywhere in the future.
As for the extent of the lesson, it is unknown, and this is what Wang Yan is worried about - Shao Xun will not say anything to him.
Everyone just waited.
Cai Cheng asked someone to make tea and brought it over.
Shao Xun invited everyone to drink tea and warm themselves up. The veterans were not polite at all and sat down directly.
It was also at this time that they discovered that Shao Xun had never let them sit down?
This is not a question of whether there are seats or not.
When did they become so obedient? When did you become so conceited?
This is subconsciously putting yourself in an inferior position.
Something is wrong.
There were footsteps in the distance.
Shao Xun took a glance and saw that the emperor came over in a chariot surrounded by guards and palace officials. As he got closer, the silver gun sergeants on guard outside stopped him, and there was a faint sound of quarreling.
But it seems to have no effect.
The assassins of the Silver Spear Army have been led by Shao Xun for ten years, and their temperament is very different from that of the Imperial Army. Although the pressure brought by the emperor is great, no one is allowed to go without a military order.
Wang Yan was holding a tea bowl in his hand and seemed to be sipping, but his eyes were always looking at the quarrel.
The Xun brothers lowered their heads and sighed, unable to bear to look any further.
Liu Tun and Zheng Yu looked at each other and frowned.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the prestige of the emperor has been getting lower and lower, why is it so?
Fortunately, the quarrel ended quickly.
The emperor got off the chengyu, surrounded by several palace people, and looked around, as if he was really walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms, and then "happened" to see Shao Xun, Wang Yan and others, so " "Xinran" came over.
Shao Xun's butt finally left the bed, and he bowed to the emperor and saluted: "Your Majesty, Shao Xun."
"Your Majesty, Wang Yan..." All the ministers also saluted.
"No need to be polite, gentlemen." Sima Chi said with both hands.
Cai Cheng moved the Hu bed and placed it opposite Shao Xun.
Sima Chi hesitated for a moment.
I didn’t want to sit down, but standing seemed to be a problem, so I pinched my nose and sat down, saying: "Shao Qing defeated the Xiongnu and saved the city, which is really——"
"Your Majesty!" Shao Xun put the tea bowl on the table and interrupted the emperor's words.
Wang Yan and others’ hearts jumped.
Such a rude meal seemed to hit their hearts, making people tremble with fear.
Sima Chi's eyes were filled with fire, and his face flashed with green energy.
Being forced to come to Tianyuan Pond to "walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms" today made him feel extremely humiliated. But this person was extremely rude and interrupted him. Did he not want to hide it at all?
Soon I felt a little scared again.
If Shao Xun no longer wants to hide it, what will happen to him as the emperor? This...
"Your Majesty wears a heavenly crown on his head, a white jade seal hanging from his waist, wears a twelve-chapter crown, and carries the Heavenly Constitution on his lips. He rules over the world. This is the majesty of the emperor." Shao Xun stood up and fell down in front of the courtiers and the emperor. He walked slowly with his hands behind his back, saying as he walked: "But if the world falls apart and the hearts of the people are scattered, there are King Qin's troops but they don't send troops, there are grains to support the capital but they don't win the battle, they appoint their own officials and appoint private individuals. , Sitting back and watching Luoyang fall into the enemy's hands to fulfill his own selfish desires, then the power of Heaven will be lost."
Sima Chi's face was instantly filled with blood.
Everyone knows some things, but saying it so nakedly is hard to hear. "In the battle of Xin'an, the king's army was defeated. If the Xiongnu went south from Hanoi and threatened Luoyang, the emperor and his ministers would all be captured by thieves."
"Compared to Pingyang, Liu Cong will care about it. The friendship of the past? Can your Majesty’s wife and children be saved? What can your Majesty do if they are humiliated by thieves?”
After a few words, Sima Chi’s face turned red.
He intended to rebuke, but when he met Shao Xun's eyes, his courage instantly dissipated and he could not say anything.
“I am fighting vigorously in Hebei, but the distribution of food and grass is stopped during the ban.” Shao Xun continued: “If unfortunately we are defeated and the entire army is wiped out, your Majesty might as well think about it, is there still King Qin’s army nearby?”
“Can your Majesty still be able to wear the crown that reaches the sky on his head and the white jade seal around his waist?”
“In my opinion, I am afraid that doing the wine-washing, changing clothes and carrying the cover is a serious matter. Not far.”
"Shut up!" Sima Chi stood up suddenly, glared at Shao Xun, and said: "You...you..."
It's too ugly! Wang Yan and others were all eclipsed.
Pouring wine for Liu Cong, washing cups, holding the toilet seat when going to the toilet - these things are very humble for ordinary people to do, usually they are slaves with lower status. It is unimaginable for the emperor to do such things. .
Shao Xun looked at Sima Chi's defense, shook his head and laughed, and said: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, I will finish my words here."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Yan again , Xun Fan and others said: "All the gentlemen are talented people in the world. What kind of temperament does Liu Cong have? You must have heard about it, right? All important matters in the court depend on you."
After saying this, he sighed deeply. , gone.
After he left, the Silver Spear Army soldiers scattered near Tianyuan Pond shouted commands, gathered one after another, and left in formation.
Even though Shao Xun left, they were still meticulous, wearing armor, holding spears in their hands, shaking their hands and feet seriously, and disappeared into the wind and snow.
"Bang!" The emperor slapped the table hard and tea splashed everywhere.
Seeing that none of the important ministers responded, they sneered twice, turned and left.
The palace people quickly followed and opened umbrellas for the emperor.
Sima Chi pushed him away, stopped sitting in Chengyu, and walked ahead angrily.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and Sima Chi is getting more and more angry.
Is this humiliation today? Naked humiliation, right?
Having been in the Jin Dynasty for decades, has any minister humiliated the emperor so much?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he almost stumbled.
I don’t know how long they walked, but when they arrived at Hualin Garden, they saw Queen Liang Lanbi taking a fur, holding an umbrella in the snow, and running towards her.
"Your Majesty!" When he saw Sima Chi, Liang Lanbi wiped his tears, walked over with an umbrella, and said: "Please take care of the dragon body."
Hearing "Take care of the dragon body" At the words "body", Sima Chi almost jumped up as if he had been stung by a wasp.
Seeing his eyes red, he pushed the queen away and walked away.
The queen fell down in the snow, got up in a hurry, chased after Sima Chi, and said: "Your Majesty, please do not get angry, anger will hurt your body."
"Use you to pity me?" Sima Chi's mind He was full of thoughts such as "washing the title and holding the title", which made him feel extremely aggrieved, so he turned his anger on the queen.
"Your Majesty..." Liang Lanbi said anxiously with tears in her eyes: "When Your Majesty was in the feudal vassal, my concubine married into the palace. Over the years, I have not asked for more dignitaries. I only wish that Your Majesty will be well and that the whole family will be in harmony. The world is falling apart. At this point, it is beyond human power, so why should your majesty get angry and hurt the dragon's body? Even your majesty... your majesty... I am willing to stay with you forever and have no regrets in this life."
Sima Chi. Then he let out his trademark sneer and said: "Shao Xun wants me to drink wine and wash my honor, change my clothes and cover my head. At that time, you will be the queen, how can you protect yourself?"
"Chen Gongsu Be sensible and don't go as far as this." Liang Lanbi advised.
"How do you know?"
"I have always been on good terms with Mrs. Xu Changyu, so maybe I can intercede."
It's okay that Liang Lanbi didn't mention this matter. Sima Chi was furious and heard him scold: "I asked you earlier, but you still denied it in every possible way. Yu Wenjun has a noble character, and Shao Xun has a rebellious intention. No wonder they got together. Did you exchange private letters with Yu Wenjun? Early on Find a way out for yourself, okay, that’s great.”
After that, he walked away angrily.
Liang Lanbi was stunned as if struck by lightning, and then her tears were like broken pearls, which she couldn't stop no matter what.
She knelt softly in the snow, her eyes full of despair and disbelief.
Looking for a way out? She smiled sadly, but it was uglier than crying.
The palace people quickly helped her up.
Like a puppet, she allowed herself to be supported by the palace servants and climbed into the chariot in a daze.
Over there, Sima Chi has disappeared into the snow.
But when the cold wind blew, he calmed down a little.
This calmness makes people a little scared.
He hesitated again and again, and finally sighed dejectedly.
Now Shao Xun has indeed become a person. He can't touch him at all, and even wants to please him.
Perhaps, we can only wait until Shao Xun relaxes his vigilance.
