Chapter 20 Those who offend our martial arts country will be punished even if they are far away
Tianyun City, Wuwang Palace
"Bastard, why did you report at this time, Lone spent so much manpower and material resources, and you repay Lone like this?" A majestic voice came from above the main hall.
A middle-aged man dressed in a golden Nine Dragons bead robe and a crown of 12 flats on his head sat upright on the top of the main hall. This person is the king of Wu, the third king of Wuguo - Dugu Shang.
"The king was angry, not because of the improper supervision of the Imperial School, but because of the invasion of an unknown force, which led to the uprooting of many strongholds of the Imperial Schooltai in Liang and Qiguo, and the news was interrupted, and it was not possible to reach the border strongholds in time. A man in a gray eunuch suit knelt in the center of the hall, his head on the ground, and replied in fear.
"Lone doesn't want to hear this, so I'll leave your head on my shoulders for the time being, and give you ten days to restore your stronghold and find out why. It's best not to let Lone know that it's an internal problem. . ”
"Thank you. The man kowtowed and thanked him, put his head on the ground, knelt down and retreated to the door of the main hall, and then got up and walked quickly outside the main hall.
Outside the main hall, a group of officials dressed in blue and red court uniforms stepped forward to salute when they saw the person on the imperial school platform exiting the main hall.
"I've seen Lord Zhao, I don't know what the king has to say?" the leader of the sixty-year-old man asked slowly.
"Duke Xu has tormented the slave, you are one of the three princes, the prince's teacher, how can there be a reason to give a gift to the slave. Zhao Quanben's gloomy face immediately changed to a flattering expression, and hurriedly helped the old man.
"The king was angry because of Liang Qi's offense, and specially ordered the villain to investigate the reason. When you enter later, remember not to commit taboos. If you are on official business, you will not stay, you cherish. Zhao Quan, who briefly explained the situation, bowed his hand to everyone and left quickly.
"Gong Xu, just a eunuch, why treat him so politely. A short, blue-robed official whispered next to Xu Jintian and said nonchalantly.
"In the opinion of the villain, do you think he is just a eunuch who controls the imperial school platform? If he didn't have any background, do you think the king would hand over such an important institution to him?" Xu Jintian said without hesitation.
"Chen Xiao, although you are a little shrewd, you still lack something in the overall situation. You only see the fish competing for joy, but you don't see the falling thread. In the final analysis, you still don't have enough eyesight, so after a while, you will ask the king for your life, resign from the Ministry of Rites, and go to Zijun to experience a few years. ”
"This... Yes, Xu Gong's lesson is yes, and the lower officials follow the teachings. Chen Xiao said with a bleak face.
"There is something to give, and it may not be impossible to go further in the future. Prepare to meet the king," I only heard Xu Jintian's voice coming slowly from the front.
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you Gong Xu. Hearing this, Chen Xiao was immediately shocked, and then followed Xu Jintian.
Inside the main hall, on the throne.
"Your Majesty, did you just let Zhao Quan go, I'm afraid he can't get rid of this matter. The personal eunuch beside King Wu said softly in Dugu Shang's ear.
"Ang Lee, many things are not as simple as they seem. If a Zhao Quan is solved today, there will be Sun Quan, Wang Quan, and Lin Quan tomorrow. Dugu Shang said slowly.
"It's better to keep him, and probe the attitude over there. ”
"The king is far-sighted, but the slaves have trespassed. Li An hurriedly bowed down and said in a panic.
"Let's go to court. He waved his hand, signaled that it was okay, looked at the door of the main hall, and commanded softly.
"The king has an order, go to the court, and all the officials enter the palace and come to see him. Li An straightened his body, and a sharp voice came out of the hall.
"Boom"
The door of the main hall was wide open, and a group of officials in court clothes rushed in, led by Xu Jintian, one of the three princes.
Dugu Shang, who was sitting on the throne, watched motionlessly as His Highness and everyone gathered in the center quickly, standing in unison and saluting.
"Meet the king, the king is prosperous in martial arts, and the martial arts are long. ”
"Zhong Aiqing is flat. Come and give a seat to Duke Xu. Dugu Shang held his right hand weakly and spoke slowly.
"Thank you. And they arose, and stood on both sides of the great hall.
"Thank you for your compassion to the old ministers. The two eunuchs moved a sandalwood chair behind Xu Jintian and put it away, and Xu Jintian thanked Dugu Shang and sat down slowly.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat. Li An on the side shouted loudly.
In the blue-robed queue on the left, an official with a square face and a long beard walked out of the queue.
"Chen Qiming, the servant of the Ministry of Households, has something to play. ”
"Exactly. ”
"Liang Qi and the two kingdoms invaded our border, and now several places have been captured, and a large number of people have fled to nearby towns, and now there is a food emergency, and the minister implores the king to order that grain will be released from the nearest household granary, so as not to cause a riot among the people. ”
"Quasi-play. ”
"The proposed decree is to order Nanyan County and Donglin County to allocate grain and send it to the shelter in the war zone. The general of the town guard in the shelter sent a scout team to check the rear line and move the people to the hinterland as soon as possible. Dugu Shang slowly ordered, and Li An on the side immediately began to draft the will.
Soon, a prepared royal decree was placed in front of Dugu Shang.
Dugu Shang nodded his eyebrows, and a golden light emanated from the center of his eyebrows, and then a square one, carved with the seal of the golden dragon flying to the sky, flew out of the center of his eyebrows, and was gently printed on the king's decree.
Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity, eight golden characters were suspended above the king's decree, and immediately scattered into golden brilliance, covering the king's decree.
Wang Zhi's golden light flashed, rolled up automatically, and slowly floated down in front of Zhao Qiming, the household servant who was kneeling below. Taking the king's decree with both hands, Zhao Qiming kowtowed.
"Minister Zhao Qiming commanded. Then he retreats to the left queue.
"Wang Caojun, the squire of the Ministry of Ministers, has something to do. In the red-robed queue on the right, one person walked out.
"Exactly. ”
"Liang Qi and the two kingdoms suddenly invaded the border, even down several places, but it was a violation of the national prestige of our martial country, and the minister played, imploring the king to send black and red cavalry to the border as soon as possible, suppress the enemy army, and recover the lost territory. ”
"This matter is arranged by itself, so I will retreat first. Dugu Shang knocked on the throne and said lightly.
Wang Caojun hurriedly got up and retreated to the queue.
Seeing that no one was playing again, Chen Xiao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, bowed down and stepped out of the queue.
"Chen Xiao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has something to play,"
"Exactly. ”
"Recently, the people of Zijun have been fierce, and there have been repeated fights, and the tunnel has felt that Wang En is mighty, and he has the courage to resign here, and is willing to resign from the post of waiter, and go to Zijun to be a ceremonial minister, and educate the people for the king. Chen Xiao knelt on the ground and impassionedly asked Dugu Shang to resign.
All the courtiers were surprised, and sighed in their hearts, no wonder they were deeply valued by Duke Xu, look at what he said.
Dugu Shang looked at the courtiers below for the first time, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Chen Aiqing is very pleased to be lonely for the country and the people. Ordered Chen Xiao to be the Langzhong of the Purple County Rite Department, responsible for educating the people, and the Servant of the Capital Rite Department was retained for him, and when Chen Qing returned successfully, he should continue to serve the country. ”
"Chen Xiao, thank you. Chen Xiao, who was happy for a while, slowly retreated to the queue, and at this moment he was already impressed by Xu Jintian, and followed Xu Gong's pace, and it was really right.
didn't care about this little episode, seeing that no one was playing again, Dugu Shang looked at the courtiers below.
"Boom"
A powerful momentum burst out from the throne, and everyone below had already knelt down at this moment, even Xu Jintian was no exception. At this moment, the king needs to show his majesty.
"Proclaim it. ”
Li An on the side hurriedly spread out the royal decree that had been prepared.
"Fengtian transported, King Wu said: Liang Qi two kingdoms, invade my borders, occupy my territory, and kill my people. The special order of the Heavenly Workshop sent 100,000 martial soldiers to the battlefield to recover the lost territory and destroy the enemy. Liu Wei and Wu Qian were ordered to be the left and right hussar generals, each leading 50,000 black and red cavalry, responsible for chasing and suppressing the enemy army, and they must be completely annihilated. Chin!"
"Chen Tiangongtai Xuanyuan Hao"
"Liu Wei, the Black Cavalry"
"Chen Red Cavalry Wu Qian"
"Receive the king's will. ”
The three courtiers on the left and right walked out of the queue and knelt on the ground to receive the order.
The golden dragon seal flew out again, imprinted on the king's decree, and the king's decree instantly split into three, falling in front of the three people, and the three knelt down to receive the decree and slowly retreated to the queue.
"Those who offend my martial arts country will be punished even if they are far away!" Dugu Shang slowly stood up from the throne, a powerful coercion came out of his body, and the door of the main hall opened violently.
Dugu Shang's majestic voice was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the entire royal city, and countless soldiers knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the main hall, shouting in unison: "Those who offend my martial country will be punished even if they are far away!"
The first snow of early winter, in the midst of bursts of shouts, fell on the capital, and drifted to the outside of Tianyun City with a solemn aura.
