After agreeing with Wang Yue on the place and time of the meeting, Chen Cheng returned to the barracks on horseback. There are a lot of things to do in the army, and as long as you have the heart, you can't finish it.

The death of four soldiers in the infantry battalion of the Northern Army caused a lot of waves for a while, but under the manipulation of some people, the matter was still suppressed.

After a few more days, it was time for the court meeting. Because the Son of Heaven was ill, the court meeting of the imperial court was changed to once every ten days. Even if Liu Hong was unwilling, he still changed into the crown of the Son of Heaven under the service of the eunuchs, put on a red and black dragon robe, sat down in the lobby of the Deyang Palace, and then ascended to the palace, so that the ministers and hundreds of officials entered the meeting.

Inside and outside the Deyang Palace, there are already fully armed armor soldiers, showing the majesty of the Son of Heaven. Standing at the foot of the steps was the Xiyuan Army led by Jian Shuo. Standing on the steps until outside the main hall gate was the southern army garrison under Zhang Rang. Lined up at the entrance of the main hall are the Jingo and many golden-armored samurai holding honor guards such as axes.

Chen Cheng was neatly draped, wearing a black black iron armor, a big crown of martial arts, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a scarlet cloak behind his back, which was majestic. Not only him, but all the people who could show up here wore the most solemn clothes and cleaned themselves up neatly.

A loud Yellow Gate Order came out and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has ordered a hundred officials to meet you!" ”

So the general He Jin, Situ Ding Gong, Sikong Liu Hong, the hussar general Dong Chong, Taiwei Ma Riyan and others in front, led the ministers up the stairs, entered the Deyang Palace, stood according to the size of the grade, and then knelt down and worshipped, and the mountain shouted long live.

Liu Hong sat upright on the top, and after the ministers sat down, he said: "If you have any important matter, please play it quickly." ”

The crown blocked his pale countenance, but the weakness in his tone could not be stopped.

The general He Jin held the wat board in his hand, took the lead in leaving the table, and said: "Minister He Jin, there is a book!" ”

The things above the hall have nothing to do with Chen Cheng, although he is only separated by a wall from the people inside, he is like a person from two worlds. Not to mention him, even people like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not qualified to speak in the main hall now. There was a lot of brawl inside, and there were many soldiers around him, but he felt lonely.

The excitement is someone else's, and all he has is loneliness.

He was only a little away from the center of power, and in terms of physical distance, he could step over it with just his feet. But it is such a small distance, many people do not have the opportunity to step in their lifetime. If it weren't for him, if he didn't pay much attention to everything in this era, would he be impatient and want to go crazy when faced with such a situation?

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Wang Yue was so fanatical about being an official. Being so close to the center of power makes it difficult for anyone to feel calm.

The court discussion lasted for a long time, and it was not until the sun began to turn west that the hundred officials came out of the Deyang Hall one after another. The general He Jin was angry, and after coming out, he glared at Chen Cheng, it seemed that he had not taken advantage of the court. Surrounded by many officials, he left the palace and went straight to the General's Palace.

Sikong, Situ, Taiwei and others also had a group of close officials, and they gathered together, talking loudly while walking outside.

Chen Cheng looked at the square that had fallen quiet again, and fell into serious self-doubt.

What the hell am I here for? A hammer in the east and a stick in the west, in the end, nothing can be done.

He thought carefully about his experience in this world, and found that except for the time when he was fighting, he was following the crowd at all times, and his thoughts and thoughts changed again and again. At first, he said that he wanted to vote for Boss Cao, and later said that he wanted to help He Jin, but it turned out that he was mixed up with the eunuchs, and then he was inexplicably favored by the emperor and became the captain of Zhijinwu and Yueqi..........

This whole bear who breaks corn on the cob!

He thought about it for a long time, until Zhang Rang walked out of the hall and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Julu, Your Majesty has ordered you to enter the hall to meet you." ”

However, it was Chen Cheng who was named the Marquis of Julu as the ruler of Jinwu, with 3,000 households, which was already the level of a county marquis, far beyond the level of ordinary courtiers, enough to be on a par with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, so He Jin would glare at him angrily.

Chen Cheng entered and saw the pale-faced emperor in the side hall. It seemed that the Shang Dynasty had exhausted its vitality, Liu Hong coughed, and after a while, he stopped and said, "Tomorrow, I will take the Yue cavalry camp into the camp and guard the South Palace." ”

Zhao Zhong held Liu Hong's cold hand and shouted, "Your Majesty, this is not in line with the system!" ”

Jian Shuo also said: "The soldiers and horses of the ministers are more than enough to guard the palace, so there is no need for other soldiers and horses." If the northern army enters the city, I am afraid that the Beijing division will be shaken! ”

Liu Hong's face became more and more pale, and he gasped: "I.... I'm afraid it's about to die, and Qing and the others can be good to assist Dong Hou. ”

Zhang Rang just walked in, and when he heard this, his face changed greatly, he threw himself on the ground, and said in a mournful voice: "Dong Hou Shangyou, Your Majesty, please don't say such things again!" ”

Liu Hong held Zhang Rang's hand and said, "Why don't I want to be rich and prosperous with Qing and others?" However, the day is not a holiday. ”

Chen Cheng pondered for a while and asked: "The minister has always had a question in his heart, dare to fight today, may I ask Your Majesty, Zhang Changshou and Captain Shang are His Majesty's old courtiers, and they have served His Majesty for decades, so they were entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty, but why do they treat the ministers so favorably?" ”

Liu Hong chuckled and said, "Don't you know that Juluhou himself? ”

He looked left and right and asked, "Do you know?" ”

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the others were silent, only Jian Shuo said: "When I saw Juluhou, I thought it was not a person in the world. ”

"Exactly!" Liu Hong stroked his palms and laughed, and coughed again after laughing twice, he coughed for a long time and then whezed for a while, and waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Jian Shuo got up to leave after kneeling, Chen Cheng walked behind, and looked back before going out of the gate, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhongzheng helped Liu Hong, wiping away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief. He stood at the door for a while, then turned back and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a secret method, or it can be ........"

Zhang Rang raised his head abruptly and said sharply: "Julu Hou Shenyan!" ”

Because of witchcraft in the Han family palace, I don't know how many people died. So as soon as Chen Cheng mentioned the secret method or something, Zhang Rang told him to shut up.

Liu Hong smiled and said: "I am ordered by heaven, how can it be redeemed by manpower?" In the future, I must not say these things. ”

Chen Cheng sighed and got up to leave. If others don't want to, he can't force them under his command. Maybe after upgrading the "persuasion" skill by a few levels in the future, the chances of success in persuasion will be greater.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he heard a loud shout behind him, "Hold Jinwu slowly!" ”

Chen Cheng turned his head to look, but it was a person he didn't know, if he arched his hand, "I don't know what to do?" ”

The man bowed to the end, then got up and said, "A certain Hanyang Yan Zhong is also, meet the Julu Marquis." ”

This Hanyang is not the future Hanyang, but the Hanyang of Liangzhou, located in the west of the street pavilion.

Chen Cheng smiled: "Your news is well-informed. ”

Yan Zhong said proudly: "Those who are ambitious, of course, have to be deaf and clear-sighted. ”

Looking at his conceited appearance, he is a bit similar to Cao Cao. Chen Cheng thought for a while, but he didn't have this person in his memory, so he asked, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

Yan Zhong said: "Juluhou's life is hanging by a thread now, so he came to save him. ”

Chen Cheng smiled dumbly and said, "I'm dying?" How did I not know about it myself? ”

Yan Zhong smiled and said, "If Juluhou himself knows, why do you need me to save him?" ”

Chen Cheng shook his head, unwilling to pay attention to this madman, turned his horse's head, and was about to leave, when he heard Yan Zhong say loudly: "The world will be chaotic, and the giant deer Hou Qi has no intention?" ”

"Phew!"

Chen Cheng restrained the war horse and looked back, only to see Yan Zhongzheng looking at him with blazing eyes. He muttered for a moment. "Does the gentleman know how to ride a horse?" ”

Yan Zhong smiled: "I was born in Liangzhou, how can I not ride a horse?" ”

Chen Cheng asked the soldier to give him a horse, and Yan Zhong stepped on the stirrup on one side and collapsed, and his skills were no less than that of a young man. The two rode together, and Chen Cheng asked, "What did Mr. mean by what he just said?" ”

Yan Zhong said: "If today's son is critically ill, people's hearts are in turmoil. The scholars were all attached to the general, and they wanted to kill all the eunuchs. The high-ranking families in the capital, the families are powerful, and they all secretly accumulate armor soldiers to wait for the time. I also heard that the general was still insufficient, and ordered the soldiers from all directions to fall immediately, didn't the Marquis of Julu be afraid because of this? ”

Chen Chengxin said: I'm really not afraid.

He asked, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Yan Zhong said with a smile: "Why should the Julu Marquis deceive himself? Isn't it because of the recommendation of the captain of the military academy that you can become an official in the court? ”

"But I'm not one of the eunuchs."

"The swords and soldiers are together, the jade is burned, even if the Julu Hou wants to defend himself, who will listen to it, and who will believe it?"

Chen Cheng said: "If it's like you said, then I'm really dangerous. But what do you know I'm in danger for? If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, aren't you afraid that the sword and soldiers will burn together? ”

As if he had been told that he had the right mind, Yan Zhong sighed and said, "If it is possible, I am naturally unwilling to stand under the dangerous wall. But I was born in Liangzhou, my family is not high, it is not dangerous, where is the day when I wait? ”

Well, another person who is not afraid of death in order to get ahead, the heart of the Han people's fame is really vigorous!

Before Yan Zhong could say anything, Chen Cheng stopped him and said, "There are many people on the road, let's go to the barracks." ”

Although more than 20 miles is not close, it is not too far, and it can be reached in half an hour by galloping on horseback. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the captain returning, they opened the gate and let everyone in.

Chen Cheng took Yan Zhong into the big tent of the Chinese army, and did not talk to him immediately, but first asked his own soldiers to summon Jun Sima and the lieutenants of the five armies to discuss the matter. The personal soldiers were selected by him from the soldiers and horses of various departments, a total of fifty people, all of whom were elite who were good at riding and shooting, and the name in the system was "Han Army Yue Cai".

Not long after, the army Sima Weili, the Chinese army captain Wu Kuang and others all rushed over.
