Chapter 68: Return to the Dynasty (3)

Coming out of Huangqiaoyi, Ju Wenli's family was arranged in three carriages, and the imperial doctor and palace maid from the palace served all the way.

The third minister of the left pleaded with the crown prince and the eunuch who passed the edict, wanting to let Ju Wenli's family recuperate for a few days, but the reply was that the emperor's will must be obeyed.

Ju Wenli's family did not have the treatment of being able to enter the palace by car, so they had to be supported by the eunuchs and palace maids.

"This capital is really big, I've been walking for so long, and I haven't arrived at the palace gate yet, I really want to see how lively the capital is during the day!"

"There is a curfew at night, only the patrol battalion and the watchman are on the street, in order to keep the capital safe! Little girl, just bear with it, if you can't walk, I'll carry you away, and when the emperor rewards you, you can play as much as you want in the capital at that time! ”

The eunuch who supported Ju Wenli was named Zhao Qian, and he wrote a good hand, and some of the emperor's edicts were dictated by the emperor and written by Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian's official name was invented by the emperor, and he was called Wen He Chang Shi, and he was sent out to greet Zuo Sanxiang and his party, which can be regarded as the emperor's grace.

The prince did not enter the palace with Zuo Sanxiang, but went west to Chang'an, and told Zuo Sanxiang about the assassination before leaving, and the emperor ordered the prince to be responsible for tracking down until the real culprit was found.

Zuo Sanxiang, Liu Jingchuan and others were grateful again and said a bunch of kind words.

After Ju Wenli walked five miles, Zhao Qian still carried her on her back.

Zuo Sanxiang looked at Zhao Qian, the "high-ranking and powerful" Wenhe attendant, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

In the past, I heard storytellers say that eunuchs are not a good thing, and they bring disaster to the country and the people to deceive the emperor, so Zuo Sanxiang never said a word to the eunuchs in the palace of the king of Jin.

But for more than a year, I have met two eunuchs, one is young and calm and can lead thousands of troops, and the other is polite and modest.

Even if it is pretended, it is not easy, and those great Confucians who read the books of the sages are afraid that they will not pretend.

Liu Jingchuan saw that Zhao Qian was struggling to carry Ju Wenli on his back, so he rushed forward to take Ju Wenli.

Zhao Qian dodged for a while, "Lord Liu, it's okay, looking at this little girl, I think of my daughter, so I think of my daughter!" ”

"Uncle, is your daughter as heavy as me?"

"Not heavy, not heavy! You are all lovely."

"Oh, can I play with her then?"

"I haven't seen her in thirteen years, and if she comes someday, I'll take her to play with you!"

Liu Jingchuan was about to continue questioning, but Zuo Sanxiang turned around and pulled Liu Jingchuan.

Zuo Sanxiang heard about the origin of these eunuchs when he was in the Jin Palace, and after the emperor re-ruled the world, most of the original eunuchs died, including Zhao Qian, who were selected from the people.

Most of those who can volunteer to be eunuchs are scholars who can't get by. Why is he a scholar, firstly, he has been reading for more than ten years and does not want to go to the field to farm, and he has no land to plant, and secondly, he has no power to be a soldier or rob.

This Zhao Qian was one of the eunuchs who voluntarily castrated into the palace, so it was really inappropriate to ask again, so Zuo Sanxiang hurriedly stopped Liu Jingchuan.

When I walked to the fourth watch, I finally came to the gate of the palace, and there was already a group of forbidden soldiers and eunuchs waiting with dozens of lanterns.

"Great meritorious heroes, Zuo Sanxiang and other meritorious soldiers entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven! The world is peaceful! Longevity without borders! ”

This roll call was passed on to the inner palace one after another.

Then, from the direction of the Chongde Palace, from far to near, from small to large, an order came: "Xuanzuo Sanxiang and others enter the Chongde Hall to meet you!" Guotai and the people, the Son of Heaven is ten thousand years! ”

Zhao Qian looked at the forbidden army and the eunuch who were waiting next to him and coughed, "Cough, Lord Zuo came back and died for a lifetime, originally prepared a routine for you, and after the court meeting is dispersed, you will go to my residence to receive the routine, double copies!" ”

Everyone replied, obviously a little less happy than before.

Zhao Qian explained to Zuo Sanxiang, "The officials who entered the palace before the fifth watch of the emperor either had a reward or were entrusted with important tasks, at least they were also a state assassin or don't drive." Since the third year of Hongde, Duan Chunhua, the assassin of Yizhou, gave the first reward to the roll call eunuch and the forbidden army, and all the officials who were rewarded and promoted in the future were more or less given to the eunuchs and the forbidden army. ”

"So that's the case, if they don't give it, won't they let the officials enter the palace?"

"That's not it, it's just that it will be much slower to enter the palace if you don't give the usual officials, and no one will remind you of some details to pay attention to. If there is a reward when you leave the palace, there will be no one

Willing to help him, it's just a little thing. ”

"As soon as Zhao Changshi said this, I understood, this is to see the emperor in the palace, like me has not had a few chances in my life, if there is no mention from my father-in-law, I am afraid that something will go wrong, and it is not impossible to be promoted to an official in a blink of an eye and become dismissed! Junqian's gaffe is not a joke. ”

"Lord Zuo is really intelligent, and he is worthy of being a handsome talent who can make a name for himself in the Western Regions! Throughout the ages, how many big people have lost in the hands of these seemingly inconspicuous little people, because some small things have ruined their good future! By the way, if Zuo Shuai and you have any other trivial matters just now, there will be no chance after passing the third door! You must kneel or stand at least two hours above the court, and you must have chicken tongue in your mouth to avoid gaffes! ”

"Thank you Zhao Changshou for reminding me, Zuo must find a suitable opportunity to thank you! Everyone stops, breathe quietly, if you want to go to the toilet or drink water, bet quickly and say to Zhao Changshi, otherwise you will have to endure it after entering the palace. ”

There were also three pro-soldiers and two guards who were allowed to enter the palace together, and several of them hurriedly went to the toilet, and when they came back to drink water, Zhao Qian reminded them to drink a little, otherwise I am afraid that people will not be able to stand it after standing in the Chongde Hall for a long time.

"Everyone enters the main hall, kowtow more, thank you a lot, the emperor asks whoever speaks, say long live auspicious, follow the emperor's wishes, remember to remember. Besides, don't say more, the emperor doesn't ask and don't talk more! ”

"Everyone understands, what Zhao Changshi said, but Jin Yu's good words, you must remember, including someone on my left, you must be very careful when you mention your spirit! You can't talk nonsense in front of the emperor! ”

The rest of the people took a deep breath, and some of them trembled a little, "I'm about to break out in a cold sweat, I don't know what the emperor looks like, this time I also saw the real dragon emperor, and I can show off when I go home!" ”

Zhao Qian immediately waved his hand, "Don't make a loud noise, after entering the Chongde Palace, don't raise your head, let alone look directly at the emperor!" ”

"Be careful, don't get carried away, from just now, everything will be told by Zhao Changshi, don't talk anymore!"

"Uncle Zuo, is the emperor so scary?"

Ju Wenli was woken up on Zhao Qian's back, and when she asked like this, Zhao Qian smiled, "The emperor is a true dragon emperor, a good person, not scary!" Little girl, remember not to walk around the hall at will, to follow your Uncle Zuo, don't talk casually, there are too many people in the palace, I'm afraid they will scare you! ”

"Okay, uncle, I've always been an obedient child!"

The five drums sounded, and the left three phases came to the door of the Chongde Palace, in front of the door of the hall, four red-clothed guards stood cross-legged, and the two eunuchs shouted one left and one right, "Rise at dawn, all opportunities are on standby!" "Diligent government and love the people, return to the heart of the world!"

Zuo Sanxiang only heard a sound of footsteps behind him, turned around to look, and saw civil and military officials rushing from the left and right sides of the hall in turn.

The first civil official is Xiao Xian, and the military attache is Wang Fu at the front.

Chen Yu, Yuan Xiuwen, Deng Hua, Pei Yun, Gong Poyu, Tian Gangfeng, Wen Yanru, Xie Fanwen and others followed.

On both sides of the ranks of civil and military officials, there were ten eunuchs carrying lanterns to illuminate the stone slabs in front of the hall.

"Lord Zuo, please first, you don't have to be polite just now, the emperor has been waiting in the palace for a long time!"

The eunuch pushed open the door of the hall one left and one right, and the three prime ministers on the left were the first to enter the hall under the guidance of Zhao Qian, and after a glance at the throne, he knelt on the ground, his head buried on the ground, and his buttocks pouted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, the three ministers of the left will return to the dynasty and return to their lives! Thank God! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, we're waiting to return to the dynasty! Thank God! ”

Liu Jingchuan took the remaining eight people to kneel down the mountain behind him and shout long live, and the courtiers also entered the hall in turn and knelt down the mountain to shout long live.

The emperor stood up from his throne and shouted: "Great meritorious hero, the left three phases are mighty!" The Liang soldiers are mighty! The DPRK Chinese military officials are loyal to their duties and mighty! Guys are flat! ”

The ministers thanked him, and the emperor continued to walk down from the throne, walked to Zuo Sanxiang, who kowtowed and blushed, and touched his face.

"Yuanlong, you've lost weight and you're dark! You are the hero of the Great Liang! It's the glory of the girders! ”

Zuo Sanxiang hurriedly knelt down, "The minister's meritorious service depends on His Majesty's divine might, and the barbarians are all intimidated!" There is also His Majesty's command and dispatch in the center, and the country's material and financial resources are supplied to the army to conquer the west, so that there is this victory! Long live the Emperor! Long live the girders! ”

The emperor pulled up the left three phases, "Yuanlong, you have also learned this set, but I know that your Zuo Yuanlong has always been famous for arrogance!" Ha

Ha, why are you now starting to say these words of praise! By the way, you have done such a great thing, how should I reward you? ”

The third prime minister on the left was about to kneel again, and the emperor pressed his shoulder, "You don't have to kneel again today!" I ask you what reward you want, and you have to answer truthfully! ”

"Weichen only wants 100 hectares of fertile land, three houses, and a reward of 100,000 yuan!"

"Hahahaha, you're such a slippery head! You don't want an official title, do you want to return to the countryside? ”

"The official titles and titles of the court are from His Majesty and the court, how dare the ministers trespass! But with the dispatch of His Majesty, the minister will never give up! ”

The emperor laughed a few times, then turned around and walked to the throne, and as he walked, he turned back to his ministers and said, "Everyone, look at it, this is what you usually call the arrogant and untamed Left Sanxiang!" I see that this person is hard-working, humble and measured, and he is a rare general! To recover thousands of miles of land for the country, I think Wei Qinghuo will be sick and reborn! Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, you are the head of the civil officials, what title do you think the left three phases should be awarded? You don't have to slide your head like the three prime ministers on the left, you are the prime minister, representing hundreds of officials! ”

Xiao Xian's hands arched, and his ears twitched a few times, "According to the system of the imperial court, the third person on the left is quite loyal to Jingbo!" ”

"Prime Minister Xiao, you are talking about the imperial court system, I ask you, such a great achievement, in the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Liang, who can compare with the other feudal princes and marquis compared with the third prime minister of Zuo?"

"This, the emperor, at this time and at that time, Lord Zuo's contribution is indeed great, but the ancestral system of the court cannot be violated, Lord Zuo is not a family, and the second is not a noble relative of the clan, and he has never served as a feudal official before, if he rashly seals the prince and marquis, I am afraid that the world will criticize!"

The emperor's face suddenly became gloomy, "Okay, what Prime Minister Xiao means, I know!" General Wang, do you think that Zuo Sanxiang, the general of Zhengxi, has been dismissed, what kind of official should I give him? Shouldn't you also use the ancestral system to tell me that the three prime ministers of the left can only continue to be the general of the southern expedition and the general of the northern expedition! ”

Wang Fu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Weichen doesn't dare, Lord Zuo's merits, you can be a general"

"Hahahaha, General Wang, don't worry, I won't take away your position as a general, you are a person who suffers from gains and losses, and wants to retreat as advance! Ladies and gentlemen, I asked you to give me an answer in ten days. I can't let Zuo Sanxiang offend hundreds of officials because he got my reward! You have to talk about it with your heart! By the way, Yuanlong, what is the origin of the little girl behind you, can you tell me about it? ”

"Your Majesty, this woman's name is Ju Wenli, and she is a royal family given by Ju Yongwen, the king of Gaochang, who once saved Ju Yongwen. This time, their family took the initiative to come to the Central Plains to meet the Son of Heaven and see the power of the True Dragon Son of Heaven! The minister took it upon himself to bring them in! ”

The third minister on the left glanced at Ju Wenli, and Ju Wenli knelt down with her head down and shouted Long live the emperor, long live, long live.

"Ju Wenli, raise your head, did Lord Zuo teach you this?"

"No, Your Majesty, Uncle Zuo only taught me not to walk around and not to talk nonsense! But I think the emperor is a very good person, not scary at all! ”

"Hahaha, who told you I was scary? Haha, let's hear it! ”

Everyone in the palace couldn't help laughing, and some of them only said that Zuo Sanxiang bribed the locals to paste gold for himself so that he could sing praises to the emperor, but this little girl was so stupid that she told the truth.

"Since we went outside the capital, many people told me to be careful and pay attention, not to talk casually in the palace, and not to say anything if I am hungry in the palace, otherwise it will anger the emperor!"

"Hahaha, then tell me, are you hungry now?"

"I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten for a day and a night! Your Majesty, I said you wouldn't be angry! ”

"Okay, good, this little girl is so honest, I like it very much, come on, Zhao Qian, go and arrange pastries for this little girl named Ju Wenli! Bring it to the temple and let her eat it! ”

Insert a sentence, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, [Source Change Artifact] caches to read books, and reads aloud offline!

"Grandpa Emperor, can you bring some pastries for my father and mother, they are also hungry!"

Ju Wenli's parents hurriedly pulled Ju Wenli behind, "We're not hungry, we're not hungry!" ”

Several soldiers next to him also swallowed their saliva, and the emperor wiped his face and laughed, "I was negligent for a while, Zhao Qian, arrange pastries and red date porridge for Lord Zuo and all ten of them!" Take them all to the palace, Yuanlong, you will take them to eat in the palace, this is also the emperor's order! The emperor's order cannot be violated! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
