Chapter Seventy-Five: Seeking the Southern Dynasty
Ever since the Heavenly Master Daoist returned to the palace and heard that the emperor was going to send an envoy to the Southern Dynasty, Tuoba Shen had an idea - to go to the Southern Dynasty.
From a practical point of view, he did a "big thing" a few days ago, which attracted the attention of both inside and outside the palace, and it is impossible to say that after a while, his name will be spread outside the palace. Now I'm afraid Feng Dan also has a deep opinion on him, although the purpose of betraying Tuoba Sui is to protect Feng Qing, but the impact of this matter on Tuoba Sui is too heavy. In a short period of time, Feng Dan will definitely not be able to let go. It's better to leave the palace for a while and come back when this limelight has passed.
From a private point of view, in his previous life, he liked the story of the Wei and Jin dynasties very much, and now he is fortunate to come to this world of great controversy 1,500 years ago, if he can't go to the Southern Dynasty to see, experience the atmosphere of the Southern Dynasty in person, and go to the legendary Wuyi Lane to have a look, it would be a pity.
If this dynasty can keep peace with the Southern Dynasty for a long time, it may not be impossible to have a chance in the future, but after two years, the emperor will send a war letter to the Southern Dynasty, and then move the capital to Luoyang, and the Southern Dynasty has been at war with the Southern Dynasty for a long time in southern Henan and northern Hubei, and there will be no chance to go when the time comes. If he is lucky and alive by then, he can still go to Xiao Yan's "old man" to beg for food, maybe he can be pushed to be the "emperor" by him, and let Chen Qingzhi protect him to go to Luoyang to be a "Wei traitor".
It's just that if you want to go, there are too many difficulties here, first of all, the emperor may not be willing, first, he is too young now, and it is not the time to stay away from his parents, and secondly, it is thousands of miles from Pingcheng to Jiankang, even if there is no disaster weather such as heavy rain all the way, it will take nearly two months. What's more, his status as a prince is not ordinary, and if he goes to the Southern Dynasty, he is at risk of being kidnapped by the Southern Dynasty. Although it is unlikely, after all, the Southern Dynasty is a country that claims to be Chinese orthodoxy, and generally does not do anything to kidnap envoys, but this matter is not certain, what if Xiao Yi is in a daze for a while, what if he has to stay as a guest? At that time, he will at most be the fate that Zhou Yu has scheduled for Liu Bei, marry a princess, be crowned a prince, and then be stared at, and he can't even get out of Jiankang City. Every time only Heicheng came to make an envoy, he would let him meet the northerners.
This is not bad, if you are unlucky, it is possible to kill him, you must know that when the emperor announced the Southern Expedition two years later, he also sent an envoy to deliver a war letter, and the deputy envoy was killed because of his unyielding resistance. Of course, it was a state of war and could not be compared to peacetime.
He hesitated for two days, not knowing whether to ask the emperor or not. At about noon on the third day, the emperor sent someone to summon him.
Tuoba Shen didn't see the emperor for the past two days, because he was thinking about whether he was going to ask for help, and he didn't even think to send Cui Yin's two Taoist scriptures. Now the emperor wants to see him, and he happens to send it together.
The emperor was in the Huangxin Hall at this time, in addition to Feng Dan, there were Jiang Shaoyou and others in the hall, and the emperor was listening to Jiang Shaoyou and others at this time continue to discuss the construction of the Taiji Palace. After Tuoba Shen entered the palace, he saw Jiang Shaoyou and others were also there, Jiang Shaoyou was born in a "flat household", very good at engineering skills, the Buddha carvings of the imperial court, the palace gardens, including the Queen Mother's Yonggu Mausoleum and many other civil engineering projects have his participation in the formulation, so there are many prohibitions in and out of the palace, so Tuoba Shen also knows him.
"My son is here with an edict, long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Tuoba Shen withdrew his gaze and walked up to the emperor to bow
The emperor put down Jiang Shaoyou's cousin and said, "I will discuss with Jiang Qing first, and then I have something to say to you." ”
"Yes!" After Tuoba Shen stood up, he walked to Feng Dan's side, bowed slightly and saluted, "Uncle Wang is well!" ”
Feng Dan returned the salute: "Very good! Although he was very dissatisfied with Tuoba Shen, he still knew how to do it in front of the emperor, and he didn't show any bad faces.
The emperor saw that Feng Dan and Tuoba Shen saw each other, and they were quite peaceful, and after nodding, he continued to look at Jiang Shaoyou's expression.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have discussed many times, and the discussion is presented in front of Your Majesty, and you also ask Your Majesty to correct one or two." Jiang Shaoyou bowed
Tuoba Shen sat behind Feng Dan, looking at Jiang Shaoyou and the others, thinking in his heart whether to ask to go to the Southern Dynasty later. In the past two days, he has thought about it many times, and feels that this trip may not be so dangerous in the Southern Dynasty, after all, the two countries have been peaceful for many years, Xiao Yi has no reason to fall out with this dynasty in order to arrest him, the emperor really wants to fight the Southern Dynasty, what is a hostage? It is impossible for Xiao Yi not to know this truth. So my heart gradually inclined to take a look.
"What is said in the table is mixed with each other, and what has been discussed before, it is not of any benefit. If you want to inspect the site of the old palace of Wei and Jin, this can still be a good policy. It's just that Luoyang City has been a wasteland mound ruins after the disaster of Shile, even if Qing went to survey, the result is only the number of feet of the base, if this is used as a basis, then the palace will be laughed at by the southerners! I am a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, who has been ordered by heaven to guard this northern country, and I want to compete with the southerners for Zhengshuo, how can I lose it. What Qing discussed is very good, but I can't call it my ambition. ”
Tuoba Shen heard what the emperor said, and remembered that Jiang Shaoyou did go to Luoyang to investigate the site of the Wei and Jin dynasties in the history books, and later went to the Southern Dynasty because of this incident to observe the palace structure of the Southern Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Tuoba Shen stood up and arched his hand and said, "My son has a discussion, please play it to His Majesty Father."
The emperor and Feng Dan, Jiang Shaoyou and others all looked at Tuoba Shen. The emperor was very polite, and he was a little unhappy that Tuoba Shen spoke rashly, but he still said, "What did Qing say?" ”
Tuoba Shen knew that the emperor was unhappy, this was not the Taihua Palace, so the etiquette did not have to be as serious as the court ceremony, let alone call him "Qing".
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the shape of the Taiji Hall is unknown, if you only guess the degree behind closed doors, you can't get the truth, Fang is about to send the Southern Dynasty today, if you go to Jiankang with Jiang Jun Shaoyou, watch its ritual system, Jiang Jun is knowledgeable and strong, and he will be able to get its essence and return."
"Smack!" After hearing this, the emperor put down his hand and felt that what Tuoba Shen said was very reasonable, and he said without much thought: "What my son said is very good, I want to appoint Li Biao to go to the Southern Dynasty again, just can't get a deputy envoy to go with him, what my son said, the deputy envoy can be determined!" He turned his head to Jiang Shaoyou and said, "Qing can be Li Biao's deputy, and he will go to the Southern Dynasty together to observe his rituals." We must get the true intention of the Southern Dynasties! ”
"Obey the order!"
。。。。。。。
The emperor watched Jiang Shaoyou and the others withdraw from the hall, turned around and smiled at Tuoba Shen: "Erlang's good advice today can solve the difficulty of being a father, if you have any requests in the future, you can tell your father." ”
Tuoba Shen has rarely gone out in the Zhongyin Hall and Qingxiao Courtyard these days, and he has not heard that the emperor has decided to send Li Biao as an envoy, and now with Jiang Shaoyou, I am afraid that it will be completed in these two days, originally he thought that there were still a few days to think about it carefully, even if he wanted to go, he would think of some rhetoric. Now it seems that the time is too late, and if I leave the temple today, I am afraid that I will not be called again in the next few days. The edict has not yet been issued, and it will be too late to ask for a request after the edict has been issued.
Gritting his teeth, Tuoba Shen walked in front of the emperor, bowed down and said: "My son has a reluctant request, and I also ask His Majesty the Emperor for permission!" ”
The emperor was stunned, and immediately asked, "What does Erlang want?" So to speak. ”
"I think of going south to the south." Tuoba Shen bowed his head
