Chapter 640: Rainy Season
Two days later, it rained. In late spring and early summer, the weather was getting hotter and hotter for a while, but the rain cooled down a little, as if the arrival of summer was delayed.
However, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, as long as there is no knife, the thunder on the fifteenth day of this month will not move. The main hall of the imperial city, the Jinxiang Hall, is much more lively than in the past.
The etiquette is also more solemn than usual, like a pre-arranged program performance, with bells and drums, singing, and lines coming up one by one.
Guo Shao was wearing a yellow dragon robe, sitting on the throne, he didn't pay much attention to the singing and initiation below, anyway, it was all nonsense, the key was still nonsense that he couldn't understand in full...... Unless there is something extreme, and only a person who can face a saint in the great court wants to attack others, he will generally not say important things in such a public place; There are real things, and they are all played in private, so there is no transparency in governing the country at this time.
Generally, the court talks about auspiciousness, agricultural harvest, national peace and security, foreign guest clothes and so on.
Although there was always a sound in the court, Guo Shao actually noticed that he heard the "rustling" rain outside the hall. Even in the house on a rainy day, there is no such mood.
When the ministers had said almost enough, before the eunuch sang the lyrics, Guo Shao seized the time interval and said, "Everyone, Aiqing......"
The eunuch hurriedly suppressed his words and bowed down to listen. Guo Shao had to find his own opportunity to speak in public, mainly because according to custom, the emperor rarely said anything, at most he responded briefly to the minister.
He immediately paid attention to his tone and said: "The future recital is still approved by me and the political affairs hall and other officials, in today's world, the chaos has been eliminated, and the prosperous era is approaching, I hope you will be of one heart and one mind with me, with the public heart of the world as the mind, rule the world together, and be ...... by the people."
He couldn't help but find Fan Zhen who was standing in the forefront, and his eyes observed Fan Zhen. Guo Shao sat in a high position, and he could look down and see everyone, but the ministers could not look up at the emperor, and they could not rely on the emperor's demeanor to speculate on the holy will.
After a few days, Guo Shao's anger towards Fan Zhen had dissipated, but at this time, another very secret feeling came to his heart. Doctor Shi, Fan Zhen gave Guo Shao more insight this time...... To say that Fan Zhen impeached Fu Jinzhan for being in power, it was because of his own selfishness, and even Guo Shao himself didn't believe it, but to say that he was very noble, Guo Shao always felt that it was not like that.
He remained silent and didn't want to take revenge on Fan Zhen.
At this time, all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted, "The ministers must obey Your Majesty's will. ”
"Zhu Aiqing is exempt." Guo Shaodao.
After a while, the eunuch sang loudly: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat ......."
The ministers who had just stood up knelt down again to give thanks. Guo Shao stepped down from the dragon chair and left the main hall first.
Fang walked out of the main hall, and the eunuch Wang Zhong stepped forward and said softly behind Guo Shao: "Your Majesty, the former deputy commander of the palace has also entered the imperial city today, and he said to the slave maid that his legs and feet are not very convenient, and the court is detrimental to etiquette, and he is waiting outside the Jinxiang Palace." ”
When Guo Shao heard this, he immediately stopped, he wanted to go out of the palace to pick up Yang Biao in person, but this impulse was immediately suppressed again. In the past, Li Chuyun and others didn't call themselves brothers? It's not a good thing to be overly intimate with someone right now. He and Yang Biao are first and foremost monarchs, and then brothers in life and death.
Guo Shao said: "Summons Yang Biao to the East Hall to meet." ”
"Whoa." Wang Zhong bowed and retreated.
Guo Shao waited in the study, and then saw Wang Zhong leading Yang Biao in. Yang Biao was wearing a military uniform, and he was holding a wooden stick, and he couldn't lose a lot of weight, as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground with the wooden stick: "The minister knocks to see Your Majesty." ”
Guo Shao hurriedly stood up from the chair, walked to Yang Biao and helped him up with his own hands, and grabbed Yang Biao's arm with his hand, as if secretly conveying Guo Shao's emotions at the moment. Wang Zhong picked up the wooden stick and handed it to Yang Biao.
"Sit down." Guo Shaodao.
Yang Biao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Guo Shao said: "General Yang is seriously injured in the leg? ”
Yang Biao said: "Back to Your Majesty, Lang Zhong said that he injured his hamstring, and he hasn't taken care of it for the time being, and his left leg is a little weak, and I don't know how to ...... it for a while."
Yang Biao was not in a good mood: "And the minister can't walk steadily, I'm afraid I won't be able to charge for Your Majesty in the future." ”
Guo Shaoxin said: You just need to live.
But he said kindly: "General Yang was seriously injured on the battlefield of Youzhou, and he can't be in a hurry to recover in a moment. What's more, the generals who command the army mainly rely on the method of using soldiers, and they no longer have to charge and kill the enemy in person. ”
Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty's teachings are true. One leg is nothing, compared to the third brother......"
Guo Shao's heart seemed to sink down, and said, "The third brother's aftermath has been completed." ”
The two of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy. In the silence of silence, the sound of rain outside the window is even more pronounced. The rain wets everything, the rain curtain is like smoke blocking the sight of the heart, this kind of weather will affect the mood, and a tangled and faint sad breath wells up in the heart. Luo Mengzi has been born and died over the years, and his death will naturally make Guo Shao nostalgic.
At this moment, Guo Shao said: "Today, General Yang will go to Luofu with me to see Luo Mengzi's family." ”
Yang Biao said: "The minister's decree." ”
Guo Shao looked sideways at the eunuch Wang Zhong: "We are for private matters, so we asked Lu Chengyong to lead the guards to escort us, and we don't need to use the emperor's honor guard." ”
"Whoa." Wang Zhong bowed.
After a while, Jing Niang entered and asked, "Please allow me to leave the palace with Your Majesty." Those cavalry were like long weapons in the battle array, and they had to be protected with short swords when they were close. ”
Guo Shao said: "Don't be too nervous, I am out of the palace temporarily, if there are really assassins and there is no time to deploy, how can it be so easy?" He waved his hand and said, "Well, you follow me." ”
Guo Shao entered, went to the suite where he was resting, and asked the palace people to change the dragon robe he wore in the previous court, and changed into a purple round-necked robe and a black gauze head.
After the car was ready, he and Yang Biao took the big carriage in the palace and left the imperial city in the rain.
Lu Chengyong rode a horse and hugged his fists next to the carriage and said: "Your Majesty, the Luo Mansion built with the money of the imperial court has not yet been completed, and General Luo's wife and children still live in the old mansion. The route led by the last general and others also went to the old house of the Luo family, and someone had already been sent to inform the Luo family. ”
Guo Shao nodded, the rain outside had not stopped, Lu Chengyong and other soldiers were drenched, the rain was flowing down the brim of his iron helmet, they didn't bring any equipment to cover the rain, but they still maintained strict military discipline in the rain. This team of personal guards, in the end, is the emperor's guard, and it is a relatively elite team.
Guo Shao lowered the curtain and talked to Yang Biao, who was sitting opposite, and the monarch and ministers always maintained courtesy.
