Chapter 45: Liu Hong
The next day, when Jian Shuo woke up, he only felt a splitting headache. He sat on the bed and stared at the wall in a daze before he came to his senses. With a heavy breath of air, Jian Shuo jumped up from the bed and went barefoot to put on his armor.
Originally, alcohol was not allowed in the army, but he was the biggest official in the Xiyuan Army, and even if others wanted to take care of him, they couldn't control his head. But this is the limit, if he can, he will definitely stuff a few stunning beauties into Chen Cheng's room. Sending money to a woman is an old-fashioned method, but it has always been useful.
Hearing the noise inside, the soldier who was resting outside hurriedly got up and came over to help him put on his armor.
Jian Shuo stretched out his arms and said, "Is Chen Junhou up now?" ”
The soldier said, "I've already practiced martial arts on the school ground." ”
Jian Shuo looked at the sun outside and subconsciously said, "So early? ”
On the school field, Chen Cheng changed into the standard uniform of the Han army and rode a grunt for a while. Gollum ran for a while, getting excited, and his steps grew bigger and bigger, turning from small broken steps to wild running. Chen Cheng didn't care about it, and let it run freely. Although the school field is large, it is much smaller than the grassland in western Liaoning.
When he was in Pipe City, unless it was raining, he would take Gollum out for a while every day. At that time, it ran faster.
After Jian Shuo finished washing, he came to the school grounds, looked at Chen Cheng's heroic posture on horseback, and once again thought about the plan that he had improvised yesterday. He squinted his eyes and thought about it, feeling that with Chen Cheng's skills, it must be foolproof. It's a pity, but now that the situation is urgent, even parents and brothers can't care about it so much.
Chen Cheng rode his horse around the school field for more than half an hour, and finally restrained the war horse. He jumped off his horse, walked over to Jian Shuo, and said, "I've seen the marshal." ”
Theoretically speaking, there is no difference between his current official position and his position in Liaoxi, and the soldiers and horses under his command are not yet, even if they are fully equipped, they will not produce much from when they were in Liaoxi. But can the lieutenants of the border areas be compared with the military marquis in the Central Forbidden Army?
Jian Shuo laughed and said, "Wait for you and me to go to Deyang Palace." ”
The imperial city in Luoyang City is divided into two palaces in the north and south, and the Deyang Hall is the main hall of the South Palace, which is the place where the emperor works and lives. Chen Cheng didn't know anything about the layout of the imperial palace in this era, and his knowledge of the palace knew a "Taihe Palace" in the Qing Dynasty, or he knew it from Li Fugui.
Ordinary people, what are you doing to inquire about the palace? Is it possible that you want to learn from Liang Tiedu?
So, he just nodded, and Baishi knew. Jian Shuo saw that he was confused, and felt that this person was full of anger.
After eating in a hurry, Jian Shuo sorted out his appearance and led dozens of people towards Nangong, and Chen Cheng was also in the queue. First, I rode into the city from Guangyang Gate, then dismounted and walked into the palace, and then passed through many palaces and piers, and walked for a long time before arriving at the Deyang Palace.
His Majesty is one zhang high, the hall is more than three zhang high, very majestic and majestic, which can accommodate 20,000 people at the same time. The hall is surrounded by pond water, jade steps and beams, the altar is made of grained stones, the walls are decorated with colorful paintings, and the golden pillars are carved with beautiful figures. One zhang is more than three meters, and more than four zhang is sixteen meters. When people stand in His Majesty and face the majestic and majestic Deyang Palace, they will naturally feel ashamed.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Xiao He once said: The palace is majestic, and it can be powerful to people. Gaozu thought it was good.
When he arrived in front of the Deyang Palace, Chen Cheng didn't feel anything, Jian Shuo and the soldiers of the Xiyuan Army all became solemn, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.
"You and the others are guarding here," Jian Shuo whispered, "and someone will replace you in the evening." ”
Chen Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood. Jian Shuo was still a little worried, and whispered: "Be careful, be careful of losing your honor in front of the palace." Your Majesty is in the Deyang Palace, if someone catches the handle, I can't save you. ”
Needless to say, Chen Cheng also knew to be cautious. Looking at those colleagues on the side, they all held their breath and stared, for fear that something would go wrong.
Jian Shuo repeatedly instructed Chen Cheng, and then sorted out the instrument again, and then went up the stairs.
In the Deyang Palace, a man in black civilian clothes was holding a child and saying something, and a woman in full costume stood next to him.
Jian Shuo slowed down, knelt down from a distance, and said, "Ministers Jian Shuo greets Your Majesty." ”
It turned out that this man in his thirties was the current emperor Liu Hong, his face was pale, his steps were vain, and he seemed to be very lacking in qi. Seeing Jian Shuo come in, Liu Hong asked the palace maid to take Liu Xie back to the Empress Dowager. He took a few steps forward, and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong hurriedly followed.
Liu Hong coughed and said softly, "Get up and speak." ”
Jian Shuo stood up, lowered his head, hung his hands in front of him, and said respectfully: "The general said that Bao Hong embezzled military salaries, and the crime is unforgivable, but he has quite a military merit, and he can win the title." ”
Liu Hong coughed twice more, gasping and said, "What did Bao Hong say?" ”
Jian Shuo lowered his head and said, "He said that he was willing to pay money to atone for his sins." ”
Liu Hong said: "Then... Ahem..... Just ........."
Zhang Rang hurriedly grabbed Liu Hong's arm, and after the emperor coughed, he said, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that Bao Hong should be executed!" ”
Zhao Zhong also took the opportunity to say: "Bao Hong is a military captain under the Xiyuan Army, but he is friendly with the general, and I heard that he also has dealings with many generals of the Northern Army, even if he is not executed, he should be deprived of his military position."
"Ahem," Liu Hong coughed again, then nodded and said, "Just do what the two of you say." ”
Zhang Rang turned his face sideways and said to Jian Shuo: "Heard? Your Majesty has an order to kill Bao Hong immediately! ”
Jian Shuo raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Obey!" ”
If a Bao Hong is killed, he will be killed, it is not a big deal, even if Zhang Rang blatantly tampered with the emperor's intentions, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. But the emperor's illness recurred, but it made him palpitate. He said respectfully: "The minister went to the outside of the city yesterday and found Doctor Ge, and wanted to invite him into the palace to treat His Majesty's illness. ”
Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I still see this body well?" ”
Jian Shuo said: "Maybe it will work wonders, it's always right to try." ”
Zhang Rang's eyebrows were upside down, and he shouted: "The quack doctor in the countryside, where can he compare to the imperial doctor in the palace?" Don't cure Your Majesty! ”
He turned around and said softly, "Your Majesty is tired?" The old slave helps you to rest on the couch for a while. ”
Jian Shuo hurriedly said: "The minister still has one more thing to .........
Zhao Zhong said viciously: "What else is more important than Your Majesty's dragon body? Some small things, I have dealt with them myself, Hugh is going to disturb His Majesty's rest! ”
Jian Shuo stood in place, watching Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong help the emperor to the harem. After standing for a while, he suddenly came to his senses and said in his heart: How dare I handle this matter by myself? If you don't get it right, you'll have to cut it all over the house!
He waited in the main hall for a while, and finally waited for Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to come out, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "I found a marksman yesterday, who can open a ten-stone strong bow, if you can get into the palace......
Zhang Rang immediately shouted in a low voice: "Silence! ”
He looked left and right, and the surrounding palace people Huangmen all looked down at their toes, looking cautious, and then said, "Follow me." ”
After finding a secret room, the three of them sat down opposite each other, and Jian Shuo shared his thoughts and plates.
Zhao Zhong clapped his hands and smiled: "This is a good idea, let that Chen Cheng shoot He Jin first, and then we will push him out and calm the anger of the public, so we can't blame it." ”
Jian Shuo said: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not want to, and the two of you must get Your Majesty's dictation." ”
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong glanced at each other, laughed, the folds on his face trembled, and he said gloomily: "Even if you do it, don't you know about our majesty?" Even if he gets angry afterwards, we just have to bow our heads and admit our mistakes, cry a few times, and the matter will be over. ”
Zhao Zhong also said triumphantly: "The Son of Heaven calls me his mother, even if he is angry, he will not punish me and others, and it is a big deal to punish me for one year." What's that money? ”
Zhang Rang said: "It's this Chen Cheng, is it reliable?" Don't fight the tiger and not die, but be eaten by the tiger. ”
Jian Shuo said: "I have already tested his martial arts yesterday, and his martial arts are indeed extraordinary, and he can open that sunset bow more than a dozen times in a row!" ”
Zhang Rang touched his smooth chin and said, "I still have to see it with my own eyes." ”
Jian Shuo said: "He is outside the Deyang Palace, I will go and call him in." ”
Zhao Zhong said: "Don't worry, wait until Your Majesty wakes up, and we will summon him to the palace in the name of martial arts in front of the emperor at that time." ”
Jian Shuo hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is Your Majesty's condition?" ”
Speaking of this question, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's faces became a little unsightly. Zhang Rang sighed and said leisurely: "Your Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse, I sweat every night, and I often wake up in my dreams, but I am afraid that I will not live for a few months." ”
Jian Shuo said angrily: "Then you still don't let the doctor I ask to treat Your Majesty?" ”
"You know what?" Zhang Rang sneered and said, "Your Majesty's illness must not be spread outside, if the news leaks, don't you dare to kill the pig He Jin?" ”
Zhao Zhong persuaded: "Jian Shuo, you don't have to be angry, Your Majesty's illness is not something that doctors and medicines can treat, and now it's just a day to delay." ”
The three of them discussed in the secret room for a long time, and Zhao Zhong said: "I'll go back to the house to find Guo Sheng first, Duan Jue and them will breathe, and you will watch Your Majesty here." ”
After coming out of the chamber, they went their separate ways. Jian Shuo and Zhang Rang guarded the emperor, Zhao Zhong came out of the palace, looked at the soldiers guarding outside the Deyang Palace, and saw that one of them was eight feet tall, born Chen Hong's teeth were white, and his appearance was extraordinary.
Chen Cheng stood outside the hall for more than an hour, and the halberd in his hand was warmed up. He was slowing his breathing, letting his whole body relax, when he suddenly felt that someone was peeping, so he followed his senses and looked over. In front of him, an old face full of folds was looking at him, and when he saw that he had found it, that face smiled, like a chrysanthemum that was about to wither.
Zhao Zhong showed Chen Cheng a smile that he thought was kind, which made the latter wonder in his heart.
Chen Cheng looked at Zhao Zhong and said in his heart: Ma De, who is this dead eunuch? What a smile!
