Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Beginning of the Trial
"Please!"
Sweeping over the people in the post house, smiling slightly, Long Jun made a gesture of please, and walked out of the post house with the temple man, as soon as he got out of the post house, Long Jun found that there was a carriage and a team of white feather soldiers waiting outside the post house at this time!
Turning his head, the temple man smiled at Long Jun and said, "General Long, please!" ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Long Jun lifted the curtain and got in, and at the same time as he entered the car, the temple man stepped forward to help Long Jun and stuffed the white roll in his hand into Long Jun's hand! With a twitch of the corners of his mouth, Long Jun guessed that this was the handwriting of the ten permanent servants, after all, they were the only ones who could make an arm to the eunuchs.
Getting into the car, Long Jun couldn't wait to open the white scroll, but the words on the white scroll made his expression change slightly, and he sighed secretly, "Is it so clear?" ”
The carriage traveled for less than a quarter of an hour, and slowly stopped, and the temple people who followed the carriage said at this time, "General Long has arrived!" ”
With a long breath, Long Jun lifted the curtain again, looking at the magnificent palace city close at hand, and the apprehension in his heart disappeared.
The imperial palace in Luoyang is divided into two palaces, the south and the north. The south palace is the place where the government is discussed, the north palace is the emperor's sleeping palace, there is an inner road link between the two palaces, the north and south are seven miles long, a post is also set up every ten steps, two compartments stand sideways, very mighty.
After negotiating with Yu Linwei who guarded the palace gate, the temple people led Long Jun through the palace wall to the inside of the imperial city, along the way Long Jun looked left and right quietly, making several Yu Linwei behind him look helpless, they had never seen this kind of person, who entered the palace for the first time was not only submissive, that is, when the world's famous people were summoned, they also walked with their heads down to show respect.
When approaching the end gate of the inner city wall, the temple man turned to Long Jun and said, "Please wait here, this temple will go and report!" ”
Nodding, Long Jun signaled that he understood, and then regardless of the thoughts of the several guards behind him, he just watched back and forth at the door, touching the palace gate for a while, and looking at the soldiers guarding for a while, as if this was his home! It's also a shame that he didn't have the idea of leaving near the palace gate, otherwise these soldiers who had endured for a long time would definitely stick all the weapons in their hands into Long Jun's body!
After a while, the will to summon Long Jun to the court came over, and the commander of Yulinwei, who had endured it for a long time, personally took him to the Zhongde Palace, passing through the Qifei Palace, Zhanghua Gate, and Chongde Palace, the two of them walked on the compound road of the imperial road, standing under the steps and looking at the Zhongde Hall above, Long Jun's heart had never been so calm!
"Your Majesty has an order, Xuan Longjun enters the palace!"
"Xuan Longjun enters the palace!"
The sound of summoning came slowly, the commander flashed to the side, Long Jun straightened his clothes, and slowly stepped on the steps of the Zhongde Palace, step after step, this step seemed to be endless, and finally he stepped on the last step, at this time, Yu Linwei, who was guarding here, stepped forward again and said, "Please open your hand, we want to search your body!" ”
Knowing that this was an appetizer for newcomers entering the palace, Long Jun didn't care, raised his arms and let the other party search him! After the search, the guard said, "Please! ”
Looking at the ministers kneeling on both sides of the main hall from the palace gate, Long Jun chuckled lightly and stepped in resolutely.
The moment Long Jun stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes in the court turned to this famous young man in the world, breaking the Yellow Turban, protecting Qingzhou, fighting Jizhou, and cutting off the horns, as if the most serious place of the Yellow Turban Rebellion had the figure of this young man mixed in! However, at this time, this young man with outstanding military achievements looked upright, holding the salute in his abdomen, and walked forward slowly.
Walking to the middle of the first row of ministers, Long Jun raised his hand and saluted, "General Che Cai, General Biao, Guangling Long Jun has seen Your Majesty!" ”
"Excuse me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Long Juncai raised his head and looked at the Emperor Han Ling, who had been stinking for thousands of years, Liu Hong was only twenty-eight years old this year, but his face was sallow, his eyes were weak, and his languishing expression revealed a twilight color!
When Long Jun observed Liu Hong, Liu Hong was also observing Long Jun, in his eyes, although Long Jun was young, he had a kind of adult calmness, and the slightest immaturity on his face was not reflected!
"Sure enough, you're a hero, you're really twelve years old this year?"
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly!"
"Good, good, good!"
Long Jun saw that Emperor Ling said three good things in a row, and secretly sighed in his heart, no matter how the process is, at least the beginning is good!
Zhang Rang, who was standing on Liu Hong's left, coughed lightly at this time and said softly, "Your Majesty!" ”
Glancing back at Zhang Rang, who was giving him a look, Liu Hong seemed to think of something, and suddenly said to Long Jun: "I heard that the killing of the thief Zhang Jiao this time was done by Xiao Aiqing alone?" ”
Hearing Liu Hong begin to mention the matter, Long Jun replied, "Back to Your Majesty, it was indeed the minister's work to kill Zhang Jiao, but the minister did not dare to be greedy for merit, this matter is all thanks to the good plan of the general of the chariot and the two of Cao Xianjiu, and assisted, the villain dared to kill the enemy alone!" ”
Seeing that Long Jun was not greedy for merit, he was still thinking about Huangfu Song and Cao Cao at this time, and the ministers sitting on both sides nodded slightly, secretly praising Long Jun for not forgetting his roots!
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were on the left and right sides of the Ling Emperor, glanced at each other, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, among which Zhang Rang stepped forward and said to Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, General Long Xiao is a cool person, not greedy for merit, he is really a rare talent, Your Majesty must reuse it!" ”
For Zhang Rang's suggestion, Emperor Ling has always attached importance to it, and said in response, "Father is right, the widow also has this intention!" Then he turned to the direction of the minister and said, "Someone is here to announce the decree, and I want to seal Long Junfen...."
Before Emperor Ling's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a voice, "Your Majesty, no! The old minister has something to say..."
A secret voice came, Long Jun turned his head to the left to look at the location where the voice came from, and saw a sturdy middle-aged man get up from his position and walk to the side.
Seeing this person come out, Emperor Ling's face was a little ugly, and he said coldly, "What is the matter with Lord Zongzheng?" ”
Zongzheng? Liu Yu? Long Jun snorted coldly in his heart, originally he thought that it was the imperial history of Shang Shushi who took the lead in making trouble, but he didn't expect that it was the royal family who was looking for trouble first!
Liu Yu saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Long Jun can't be sealed!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Because this man's surname is Dragon! The ancestors have training, and the second surname of Xiang Long is unforgivable! ”
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Liu Hong's face was bitter, and he looked at Long Jun with some embarrassment, Zhang Rang told him that Long Jun had donated 50,000 silver to himself at the recruitment office a few days ago, and he was trying to give a good reward.
Zhang Rang on the side saw it, chuckled, stepped forward and saluted Liu Hong, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the old minister also has something to say!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Rang came to relieve himself, Emperor Ling instantly showed joy and said, "Father, please speak!" ”
Zhang Rang turned around and stared at Liu Yu in the audience, and said with a smile: "Gaozu does have training, and the second surname of Xiang Long is unforgivable, but later when Emperor Xianwu pardoned Ji Anshi, he changed the edict, and the second surname of the Western Chu family is unforgivable!" Now that Lord Zongzheng has come up, he has decided that General Long is the remnant of Western Chu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”
Originally, Liu Yu didn't plan to directly characterize Long Jun, he just wanted to open the beginning of the trial, Long Jun, as a rebel army, was appointed as a general by Emperor Lu Zhihuang, but he was not awarded the post of general, isn't it just to let Long Jun report to the court, not the Taiwei Mansion! That's why, Long Jun knew from the beginning that he would be tried!
With a sneer, Liu Yu said unceremoniously to Zhang Rang, "Zhang Changzhi seems to know this better than me?" ”
is a political enemy, how can Zhang Rangyou want to let it? Then he said-for-tat, "Lord Zongzheng's words are reasonable, after all, we must be very careful to assist Your Majesty, in case someone designs to frame Your Majesty's loyal ministers and good generals, we can also fight with reason!" ”
"Zhang Changshou's words are a bit serious, Bo'an, as a Zongzheng, has the responsibility to maintain the legal system of the ancestors, and as a minister, I also have the right to persuade Your Majesty, where can I see that I am going to frame Your Majesty's loyal ministers and good generals?"
Zhao Zhong, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, sneered at this moment, "Lord Zongzheng shares his worries for His Majesty, we understand, but Your Majesty is obviously preparing to reward Long Jun, why are you obstructing?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Zhong also came out to speak, Tang Li, who was in charge of Shaofu at the time, stood up and gave a salute to Emperor Ling, and then said, "Long Jun is a person surnamed Long, why can't Lord Zongzheng stop this?" ”
Regarding the controversy between the two sides, Long Jun lowered his head and stomach from beginning to end, Yuan Kui and He Jin, who were among the ministers, frowned when they saw this, Liu Yu is a royal family has nothing to do with their scholar family, although Tang Yu is also a member of the scholar family, but as a young man, he is also in charge of this matter, but Long Jun is silent, so that the two of them are a little unsure of Long Jun's thoughts!
Liu Hong, who was kneeling on the dragon couch, was extremely annoyed by the quarrel between the two sides, and shouted loudly, "Enough is enough, shut up alone!" Then he looked at Liu Yu and Tang Yu, and the two said coldly: "Since the two Aiqing think that this matter is impossible, then explain the reason!" Otherwise, the widow will not be tolerated! ”
Tang Yu and Liu Yu all knew that Liu Hong's temperament was fickle, and his heart was towards Zhang Rang and the others, if this matter did not give a reasonable explanation, they would definitely not be pleased, after making a look at each other, Liu Yu took a step forward and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister got a news about Long Jun's father many days ago, and learned that his father is the remnant of Western Chu!" ”
Liu Yu's words instantly made the atmosphere in the hall tense, He Jin and Yuan Kui frowned, and Zhao Zhong's face was impermanent, as for Liu Hong, who was in anger, his eyes were cold at this time, and he stared at Long Jun and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is what Chen Qi from Chen Qi, the chief of Xuzhou Thorn History, said in a letter!"
At this moment, when Long Jun saw Liu Yu say the news, he suddenly raised his head and laughed, his laughter revealed rampant and helplessness, and then turned to face Liu Yu and sneered, "Why should Lord Zongzheng be coy? Letter from Chen Jue? How did my father die, others don't know, don't you Zongzheng know? Pengcheng Zhang Xu, who are you, do you use me to say more? ”
Not to mention He Jin and Yuan Kui, at this time, even Zhang made Zhao Zhong nervous, and Long Jun admitted that he was a remnant of Western Chu? Is this kid crazy?
"Long Jun, what do you mean by that?"
