(Chapter 5) Tuzhou raised troops and discussed with the ministers
This is the rhythm that is going to hack me.
I lowered my head and remained silent.
When the ministers saw that I didn't say a word, they thought I was a good bully. After all, am I a milk doll, compared to these old foxes who have been in officialdom for more than ten years, what am I? In addition, with a veteran figure like Pei Lao in front, what are they afraid of?
One after another, officials of different sizes followed the courtier, and objected to me, a young man of fifteen years of age.
This controversy still came in the end.
I want to laugh.
Emperor Cen looked at the group of officials who came out of the queue below, his face became darker and darker, and finally he slapped the dragon chair and stood up.
"You're all presumptuous! Do you still need to question the people I appointed? ”
The emperor was powerful, and the officials below were suddenly silent, and no one dared to touch his moldy head.
At this time, I said to Emperor Cen calmly, "Since Weichen took office yesterday, he has not had the slightest political achievements, and he is really ashamed of His Majesty and the ministers." Yesterday night, the minister turned to a letter that said that some people in Tuzhou claimed to be the descendants of King Chen, and they were confusing the people to raise an uprising. The minister asked for orders and went to Tuzhou in person to solve the matter. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the main hall immediately exploded.
Who is King Chen? That is the emperor's sworn enemy before he ascended the throne, he still has descendants? Or even to rebel?
What an incredible thing that must have been!
Who was present who didn't know the cruel and bloody palace mutiny two years ago? How many bones are still lying in mass graves? And how many substitutes for the dead are still dead?
King Chen rebelled, the queen mother fell ill, the emperor's two infant sons were killed by rebellious servants, and the emperor was even more angry and couldn't afford to get sick.
At that time, people died tragically within the vermilion palace walls almost every day, and all kinds of crying and screaming continued every night.
I'm scared when I think about it now.
Hearing me mention this, Emperor Cen turned a little better, but he didn't seem to agree with my self-recommendation.
"Shen Qing wants to contribute to national affairs, and I am very pleased. But Shen Qing shoulders the position of prime minister, and many government affairs have to be handled by Shen Qing personally, so how can he have time to go to remote places to quell the rebellion? Leave the matter to someone else. ”
"The emperor wants to send someone else to deal with it?" I deliberately looked at the officials who had come out of the list.
Those officials are all fine, who doesn't know that something like this touches taboos, and if one of them doesn't get it right, their lives will be over.
Pushing around secretly, no one dares to take this errand.
Emperor Cen was just about to take advantage of this to make trouble, but Pei Lu came out again and blocked Emperor Cen's words.
He took a step forward and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go to Tuzhou to calm down the fighting." ”
That being said, who would dare to let a septuagenarian, a veteran of three dynasties, travel a long way to that place of right and wrong?
"Your Majesty." A young military general, Ge Jun, came out of the ranks and said to Emperor Cen with a fist, "Tuzhou is located in a remote area, and you must be busy all the way, Pei Taifu is old, and I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it." The last general asked for his life, and let the last general go to quell the rebellion. ”
Good boy, want to steal my job?
I immediately said, "Your Majesty, this matter is related to politics, and Ge Jun, as a military general, may not be able to do it. ”
Hearing this, Ge Jun was not afraid of me, and said unconvinced, "The last general has not heard of any rebellion that can be solved with a few words, doesn't it feel ridiculous when the prime minister says this?"
Oh, it's all about lip service, you generals can't compare to our pen, and you still have the courage to challenge me?
"A hundred years ago, our country of Qin had a highly respected Xiangguo, named Zhuge Yu. His people are not only brilliant and full of wealth, but also a leader in speculation. Once, our country went to war with other countries, the enemy generals have gone through countless wars, experienced, and the people who fell under him did not know how many, everyone thought that this would be a vicious battle, but what was unexpected was that Prime Minister Zhuge simply said a few words to provoke the veteran to vomit blood and fall to the ground, and this war also ended with a complete victory for our country. Let me ask, how can we not repel the enemy army and quell the rebellion?" I flicked my robe and glared at Ge Jun with a heartfelt expression.
Ge Jun was speechless, stunned and listened to my serious flickering.
Zhuge suppressed? Is he really that good?
How come I've never heard of this man......
"Your Majesty." I surrendered my hand to Emperor Cen, "The minister can guarantee that the official business and this matter are correct, please let Your Majesty allow the minister to go." ”
Pei Lu turned to me this time, and he said, "Your Majesty, pity Shen Xiang's old bones for the minister's worries, Your Majesty looked at the old minister's thin face and allowed Shen Xiang's request." ”
Can the words of the elders of the Three Dynasties not have a little weight?
Emperor Cen was helpless, and raised his hand to "pass on my will, and specially ordered Shen Qing to inspect the Qin mission for Tuzhou and go to Tuzhou to quell the chaos." Ge Qing was also promoted to lieutenant of the infantry army to assist Shen Qing and stop the fight. ”
The emperor spoke, even if we still had any dissatisfaction in our hearts, we had to obediently kneel down to receive the order and thank you.
A turmoil seems to end in the rising daylight.
In the afternoon, the emperor sent someone to announce my entry into the palace.
I straightened the court clothes on my body and followed Gonggong Zhao into the palace. Gonggong Zhao took me outside the imperial study and went in to report.
I raised my hand and rubbed my sore shoulders to relieve my fatigue.
In fact, I felt extremely wronged, after drinking the pot of Tianfang wine last night, I began to deal with the official documents, and I dealt with it all night, and I slept for a while at dawn. This sleep is good, none of the two subordinates came to wake me up, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't support my smart head with one hand, let me have a close contact with the desk, not to mention that I didn't have time to bathe and change clothes, it would be too late to go to court!
Oh, what kind of sin have I done?
"Lord Shen Xiang, the emperor announced that you should go in." Zhao Gonggong came out and said to me.
I nodded and walked into the study alone.
"Your Majesty." I salute Emperor Cen.
Emperor Cen looked away from the stacked folds.
He smiled at me and said, "Shen Qing is here?" In the early days of the dynasty today, Shen Qing's tricks of fooling people really amazed me. ”
Praise me like that? I'm a little embarrassed.
I said modestly, "Weichen is only a shallow learner, and I ask Your Majesty not to ridicule the minister anymore." ”
Emperor Cen smiled and put down the brush in his hand.
"Aiqing should have guessed the reason why I came to you."
I bowed my head.
"Wechen is only a shallow learner, please make it clear to Your Majesty."
Seeing me like this, Emperor Cen glanced at me and said, "Aiqing is going to Tuzhou, be very careful." Aiqing is the person I trust the most, and I will rely on Aiqing more in the future, and Aiqing can't live up to me. ”
I arched my hand and said respectfully, "Your Majesty raises love, and Weichen will live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”
Emperor Cen was satisfied, and he got up and walked over to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Aiqing's talent, I have only seen it in my life, and I hope that Aiqing can be loyal to the monarch with this."
I said, "It is an honor to be able to serve Your Majesty and the country with your own knowledge." ”
"Good." Emperor Cen withdrew his hand, turned around and sat back on the bookcase, "I'm waiting for Aiqing to come back with the head of the bandit leader to see me." ”
I didn't dare to hesitate, I immediately knelt down, "Weichen will not disgrace his mission." ”
Now Emperor Cen was really satisfied, he waved his hand and asked me to step back and go back to the house to prepare.
Out of the study, I exhaled.
This budding bird is really not so easy to be.
"Princess, princess, you can't go over, Your Majesty is discussing state affairs with Shen Xiang."
There was a commotion around the corner, and I couldn't help but look for it.
A little eunuch was holding a girl with a red face, the little eunuch retreated while blocking it, the girl was angry, she didn't care about the little eunuch at all, and rushed straight in the direction of the imperial study.
I raised an eyebrow.
This royal relatives are really a group of people who are brave and fearless and dare to go straight.
Well, it's worth admiring.
In a few moments, she rushed in front of me. I thought, no matter how I "refuse to break my eyebrows and bend my waist" to the "powerful", when I see the princess, I should salute, I still have to be honest and salute.
After all, there is only one head, and I don't believe anyone can give me a second.
I bowed my hand to her, "Wechen has seen the six princesses. ”
When she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, and then returned to her domineering appearance.
She asked me with a bad face, "Who are you?"
I replied, "Weichen's surname is Shen, and his name is Qingzhi." ”
I wanted to be perfunctory so that I could hurry up and get down to business, but when I answered, her face immediately turned ugly.
She pointed a finger at me, her eyes almost filled with burning anger, and she screamed, "You are Shen Qingzhi?"
Or else?
I looked at her inexplicably.
The conscience of heaven and earth, although I look like a talented person and a graceful person, I am absolutely clean and self-conscious. I don't think I've ever been in trouble with fireworks, let alone ...... A princess of a country?
Why did she ...... Want...... Look at it this way...... I?
"Weichen has ever offended the princess?" I asked tentatively.
"Humph!" She stamped her foot, said nothing, and entered the imperial study in a rage.
“……”
Her palace maids all stayed outside the imperial study, looking left and right at me one by one, and exchanged heads and ears.
Isn't that good?
I rolled up my sleeves and hurried away.
In the imperial study, Emperor Cen frowned and looked at the little daughter who suddenly broke in, and reprimanded, "Are there any rules?" Is there any look like a daughter's house? Such willfulness! ”
"Father." Hearing Emperor Cen's reprimand, Cen Yuhe's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she cried aggrievedly, "You casually promised your daughter to a stranger, how can you be so ruthless!" ”
Emperor Cen couldn't see his daughter's family crying the most, let alone his favorite little daughter?
Seeing his daughter's teary eyes, Emperor Cen softened his heart and explained warmly, "Shen Qing is young and promising, full of economy, coupled with a handsome appearance, in a high position, and is worthy of my daughter, isn't it more than enough?" ”
