Chapter 145: Yuan Tian has arrived
In the main hall, the emperor leaned on the back of a large carved chair made of sandalwood, his eyes tightly closed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was a group of first-class officials kneeling below, and Taifu Gu Peng was in the first place.
Secondly, Taibao Ruan Guichang, University Scholar Diao Yiming, Taiwei Liao Zisheng and so on.
They are usually very majestic outside, and everywhere they go, they are surrounded by a group of people, and a large number of subordinates are waiting.
But in this Zhenghe Palace, the emperor may want them with a word. They can't resist yet, that's the imperial power.
The Zhenghe Hall is very quiet, and the ministers kneeling below all have special talents that hold their breath, and if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear their breathing.
The Emperor's face was calm, his brow was soothed, and he seemed very calm, but his fingers on the table kept tapping, revealing his state of mind.
There was a leak in the hall, and the water was dripping to the ground, and the sound was very clear, making people feel that time passed very slowly.
About half of the leaky water dripped into the cylinder underneath.
The emperor asked nonchalantly, "Where is General Yuan?" ”
At this time, it was Li Taifu and Li Gonggong who were waiting.
He wiped the sweat from his head and returned: "The slave and maid will go and see." ”
He walked out of the temple gate in small steps, and told the little eunuch at the door, Xiao Zhuzi, to go and inquire quickly.
After a while, Xiao Zhuzi ran back panting, "Gonggong Li, General Yuan has already passed the south gate and entered the Yilian Gate." ”
Gonggong Li nodded, "The miscellaneous family knows, if General Yuan comes, he will come in immediately to report!" There must be no mistakes. ”
He shook off the dust and walked quickly into the hall.
Pang Taide was supposed to be on duty today, but since Pang Taide returned from the refugee camp that day, he has been sick and has not improved.
The emperor was afraid that he would get an epidemic, so he hurriedly sent him out of the palace.
But after following the emperor for so many years, the emperor still has some feelings, and sent the imperial doctor to show him.
Fortunately, it wasn't an epidemic, but it didn't get better.
Gonggong Li was a little glad that he finally had more opportunities to get close to the emperor, but he didn't expect this to happen in just a few days.
He would rather swap with Pound for now.
Ay! Gonggong Li sighed and quickened his pace.
The Emperor was still leaning back in his chair, his head tilted slightly, his eyes closed.
On either side are two female officers wearing peach-colored tops and azure skirts.
They each held a large pu fan and swayed gently, waving a slight breeze.
The emperor heard the footsteps and asked, "Little Lizi, how is it?" Where? ”
Gonggong Li hurriedly replied: "I have passed the Yilian Gate and approached the Chaohe Palace. ”
The Chaohe Hall is the place where the upper dynasty is up, and the Zhenghe Hall is the side hall of the Yonghua Palace, the emperor's bedroom.
The distance between the two places is not very far, and it only takes half an hour to walk briskly.
The Emperor nodded, "Well, you go down." When General Yuan comes, you let him in, and you don't need to report it first. ”
The first-class officials kneeling below were quite anxious, and their sweat kept flowing.
They had not yet eaten lunch at noon, so they were called and have been kneeling until now.
The older Taifu Gu Peng couldn't stand it anymore, his legs trembled, his black pants were soaked with sweat, and even the purple robe outside was dyed.
When Gu Peng was about to faint, the emperor spoke: "Since General Yuan is about to arrive, you Qing family should get up first." ”
This voice seemed to be a natural sound, which made the ministers' hearts relaxed.
The eunuchs who were hidden around hesitated and didn't know whether to step forward to help, and Gonggong Li stood close to the door, not only able to see the emperor's expression, but also to pay attention to the situation outside.
Seeing that the emperor did not speak, he stopped their movements with his eyes.
Each first-class member has been pampered for a long time, and it is rare to kneel, and it is even more rare to kneel for so long.
At this time, they all abandoned their past grievances, and both of them got up with their arms, their legs trembling, and the soreness and numbness made them almost fall to the ground again.
"General Yuan enters the hall!" As soon as Yuan Tian arrived at the temple gate, Xiao Zhuzi opened the door for him and sang at the same time.
Standing in the center of the hall, the first-class masters turned around and saw Yuan Tian coming in with the sun on his back, making way for him.
Yuan Tian's body was a little messy, which seemed to be caused by rushing to the dust.
The sweat on his forehead was pouring out in large gulps, his hair was sticking to his forehead, and the crown of his hair was already crumbling.
"Wechen is late, and I hope the emperor will forgive him!" When Yuan Tian entered the hall, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
The head slammed on the ground, and there was a loud bang, which made the rest of the people breathe tightly, and they subconsciously looked at the emperor.
The emperor tightly grasped the handle of the sandalwood hollow chair, and his mood fluctuated, was this threatening him? Sure enough, this Yuan Tian had to be removed!
He narrowed his eyes and said, "What should I do if I don't forgive my sins?" ”
Yuan Tian didn't raise his head, and replied in a sonorous voice: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" The emperor wants to condemn the ministers, and the ministers have nothing to say! ”
He hung his head, and the emperor sitting on it could not see his expression clearly.
But his determination could be seen in his tone and straight spine.
The Emperor looked at Yuan Tian carefully, as if pondering the truth of what he said.
He was thinking about what would happen if he really had so little Yuan Tian?
It just so happens that now there is a better reason.
What would the people have done if they had known that their great hero had put their lives at risk and had not cut off the source of the plague in time?
The emperor squinted and smiled, he raised his hand to let Yuan Tian get up, "General Yuan, get up, I'm just joking, I can't take it seriously." "Now is not the time to move him, the epidemic in the west has also broken out, and he needs a last person to carry the black pot.
This drought has caused some economic depression in the west, and it will weaken the strength of the cloud country.
If Dongguo takes the opportunity to send troops, then it will not be a good thing.
The Cloud Nation also needs someone to deter its neighbors.
"What is the important matter for the emperor to summon his ministers and others to come over?" Yuan Tian asked with his fists clenched.
The Emperor nodded, "There is already news from the west. ”
He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave, including the two female officers who were standing behind him shaking their fans for him.
The ministers listened attentively.
They were called in the morning, but they didn't say anything, only that they would wait for General Yuan to come.
The emperor didn't want to say more, so he handed over a stack of papers on the table, "See for yourselves." ”
The position of Yuantian Station is in front, and the distance is close.
He took it and carefully flipped through the papers.
The description on the paper is somewhat similar to the news received by Yuan Tian before, which is the news of the spread of the great drought and blight in the west.
Yuan Tian glanced at ten lines, read it quickly, and handed it to Gu Pengzheng, the Taifu next to him.
Gu Pengzheng also saw it very quickly, and it took about the same time as Yuantian.
Next, the Zhenghe Hall was quiet, only the sound of reading materials and breathing.
The people here are all first-class masters, and the speed of reading the information is very fast, and it doesn't take half an hour to read them all.
"Your Majesty, have you blocked the only way from the west to Yundu?" Taifu asked calmly.
The most important thing now is to block the path, so that those who carry the epidemic do not come to Yundu.
