Chapter 64: Recruitment Order (2)
After leaving Shangshutai, Xiao Yi invited several henchmen to gather together for a secret discussion.
And these people are all Huangmen Order, which was given by the Son of Heaven in Dinghu Palace that day, in order to make Xiao Yi available.
One of them, surnamed Zhao Mingbao, is the godson of Zhao Zhongzhi, the "mother" of the former emperor, because he has lived in the palace for a long time, he is used to ups and downs, and he has a little strategy.
That Zhao Bao knew that he was a son of heaven and a courtier, so after seeing Xu Yi, he did not put on the shelf of his predecessors, but stood aside respectfully.
"Zhao Huangmen, what do you say we should do next?"
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Bao suppressed the hesitation in his heart, walked into Xiao Yi and whispered: "Xu Changshi, this time, although we are acting on the orders of the Son of Heaven, there is no holy decree~~~"
Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Huangmen beside him, with a penetrating gaze projected in his eyes.
Lowering his head, Zhao Bao didn't dare to look directly at the Shangguan who could decide his life and death, and after a pause, he boldly said: "When the time comes, once the Dutian Order is wrong, I am afraid that Lord Zhongchang will have to bear it with all his might~~~"
There is no need to explain in detail, Xiao Yi has already understood all this.
The Son of Heaven did not issue a holy decree, but only verbally asked them to implement the decree of the land, in fact, he wanted them eunuchs to come forward, withstand the pressure of the hundred officials, withstand the accusations of the family, and take back the fields without land deeds in Guanzhong, and distribute them to the people without land.
"We know all this!"
In the court in the past few days, Xiao Yi alone faced the white eyes and anger of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and turned the oral will of the Son of Heaven into a written holy decree.
And he is not afraid!
"Fighting for the Son of Heaven is the duty of us slaves!"
Saying that, there was a hint of deceit in Xiao Yi's eyes: "Now that Your Majesty has used us, we have to do the best!" ”
"After all, the Son of Heaven is young and likes to have fun, and there are many things that we need to do in the future. But there is one thing, that is, we must not let state affairs affect Your Majesty's mood for fun. ”
"But. The family over there~~~Baiguan there~~~"
Zhao Bao's hesitation made Xiao Yi's heart even more spit, this person has some vision, but he is too timid. It's hard to do it.
"When Zhang and Zhao were the two permanent servants, when they were alive to assist the first emperor, would they be afraid of the opinions of the family and the hundred officials?"
Xiao Yi waved his hand lightly, and his expression was a little fluttering: "As long as we help Your Majesty to succeed, the Dutian Order will be issued again." Let Your Majesty see the power of our eunuchs~~~"
"When the time comes, the power of the ten permanent servants will come, and we won't dream of waiting for the generals!"
Seal the general! Bye-huh!
At that time, the ten permanent servants were all named Chehou!
Zhang Chang is my father, and Zhao Chang is my mother!
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, they died in just two years!
But the legend of the Ten Constant Servants, they have seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears!
The more than 20 years of the reign of the first emperor was the era of their eunuchs!
Could it be that the grandeur of the past will be restored in their hands!
Several big eunuchs, including Xiao Yi. The mood is incomparably undulating, under the Son of Heaven and above the hundred officials, what a glory it is!
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Bao suppressed the excitement in his heart like a rough sea, and arched his hand and said, "I don't know if the Son of Heaven is the same as the first emperor?" ”
"Hiss~~~"
A basin of cold water was poured down, and the great eunuchs seemed to have thought of something, and the heat in their hearts was blocked.
"He~~~He"
Xu Zhongchang smiled slightly, and said smugly: "Your Majesty has been very loved by the first emperor since he was a child. The first emperor often said in the world: The king of the Bohai Sea has been! ”
"It can be seen that the Holy God and the first emperor are the same kind of people."
"When the first emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Dou Miao of Huan Si came to the court to ask about the government, and the general Dou Wu led the government. The throne is in jeopardy. In September, the first emperor then secretly edicted Wang Fu and Cao Jie to kill Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others, which is the well-known coup d'état in September in the palace. ”
"And today, it's the same, Dong thief is in the court. Overseeing the power, His Majesty was set aside. So the secret alliance of loyal and righteous people punished the thief in Dinghu Palace. ”
"But! After all, Your Majesty is young and has a playful heart, so in terms of state affairs, you need our support. Just like when the first emperor was in power, only by trusting us and putting state affairs in our hands can Your Majesty be able to have fun with peace of mind! ”
"Oh~~~"
Several people looked at each other, and they all saw the heat burning in each other's eyes!
Heat!
At this time, not only in the eyes of the few great eunuchs in the secret room of Weiyang Palace, the Son of Heaven ordered the virtuous to be recruited, and the entire Chang'an City fell into a frenzy again.
Chang'an, which was originally lively because of Dong Thief's ambush, smashed the Son of Heaven's recruitment order, once again releasing the heat in their hearts.
"Bang~~~Collapse~~~"
In Chang'an City, the bamboos were blown open again.
Bustle! Cheered! Can't stop!
At the gate of Chang'an City, hundreds of people wearing red robes and holding black dragons scattered with the edict.
Several of them rode westward to Fufeng County near Chang'an, where they stopped at the gate of the city and pasted the list in their hands high on the city wall.
In the Han Dynasty, there were generally two kinds of edicts issued by the imperial court, one was for the purpose of learning and edifying, which was intended to make people aware of what they were aware of, and to be good and avoid evil. The second is to reaffirm that the laws of the state and the decrees and decrees formulated by the local government require the subjects to obey them as one, which is mandatory.
Of course, no matter what it is, the people will come over to see what is going on, on the one hand, this is the information blockage of time and space, and many people rely on the imperial court's example or edict to know the things of the world; On the other hand, if it is the latter kind of example of a legal nature, they should keep it in mind, so that they will not break the law and avoid being reprimanded.
But now, what hangs high on the city wall is not the two kinds of examples that are common to the people, but the recruitment order of today's Han Emperor!
"Meritocracy, get it and use it~~~"
I saw an old man with silver hair and silver beard, trembling with the support of the little guy, raising his head to look at the list text, and muttering to himself at the same time; Suddenly, the wrinkles on his forehead like a stream were tightly constricted, and the vicissitudes of life revealed bursts of light.
"Taigong! I don't know what is written on this? ”
A nine-foot-tall sturdy man with a roaring voice that attracted everyone's attention.
The onlookers focused their eyes on the man who was holding a big knife, straddling three meteor hammers at his waist, and carrying a bow on his back.
"Oh~~~" The old man seemed to have just come back to his senses, and when he glanced at the warrior with solid flesh and dark skin, he squinted and said, "This is the recruitment order of the Son of Heaven." said that as long as you are talented, you can go to Chang'an City to take the exam on the day of Lari, and the Son of Heaven will reuse it after the exam! ”
"Oh!!"
After listening to the old man's words. There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.
"Hehe, can anyone go?"
The strong man scratched his head and asked suspiciously.
"As long as you are talented, you can give it a try~~~"
After the old man finished speaking, he once again caused bursts of admiration.
"Taigong. There is another question below, so what is considered talented? ”
When the man heard this, he became short of breath, as if he was also a talented person.
"Hey, man, what are you capable of? Can you write fu? Can you learn the scriptures? ”
The crowd watching the excitement next to him suddenly turned the nine-foot fierce man with a red face.
"This edict doesn't say it, but anyone who has a skill can try it!"
The more and more people surround it, the old man is not afraid of a big deal and the content of the Son of Heaven's recruitment order has been greatly expanded, and this may be the original intention of the Son of Heaven······
The old man's words did not fall. It caused a burst of exclamations.
"Hey, uncle, please give me!"
A teenage crowned boy squeezed through the crowd and went to the base of the wall, and when he saw the silver-haired old man, he hurriedly bowed: "Student Wang Cang, meet Master Zhao!" ”
"It turned out to be a genius who made the old brother meet him, Zhao Yu was polite~~~"
"Master Zhao is a famous man in the world, don't be ashamed of Zhongxuan!" After speaking, Wang Cang hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.
"Zhongxuan~~~Hehe~~~" The old man laughed heartily. Picked up a hand that was as rough as pine bark and touched Wang Cang's smooth cheeks a few times, unusually kind: "You are just the year of Zhixue, but you can be crowned and get words, much stronger than our old bones~~~"
"Look at the Tianzi Recruitment Order. Why not give it a try? ”
"This~~~" Wang Cang hesitated slightly, and then immediately responded: "No! Students take orders! ”
"Hehe~~~ The son can be taught!"
Wang Cang picked up the old man, went out of the crowd, and when there were few people, Fang said: "Master Zhao is a famous man in the world, why do you want to expand the edict of the Son of Heaven today?" ”
"The edict of the Son of Heaven is not written on it, and if you have any skills, you can go and try it?"
The young man Wang Cang. Speak up and ask why.
"Hehe, Zhong Xuan! Although the Son of Heaven is not written in the recruitment order, it is not elaborated, how can you know the heart of the Son of Heaven? ”
The silver-haired old man laughed and left, leaving the young man in a daze, savoring what the old man had just said.
"These days, I have heard too many rumors about the Son of Heaven, and this time I can see the saint in person, the opportunity is excellent, I can't miss it!"
Clenching his small fists tightly, the young man Wang Cang's eyes were fixed, thinking about the southeast direction, as if he could see the Son of Heaven in the Imperial Palace.
After the onlookers gradually retreated, two people were still staring straight at the list, one of them was the sturdy man who had just asked the old man;
The other was estimated to be about twenty years old, thin and weak, wearing a shirt with many patches, like a broken fishing net, as if the clothes would explode in all directions when the wind blew, and the oil stains on the clothes seemed to have not been washed for many years.
"Hey! Young man, under Wang Shuang. As he spoke, the sturdy man raised his steel-like arm and pulled the skinny chicken boy next to him, and his voice was like thunder: "Why don't we go to Chang'an City together, anyway, I can't read, you can just teach me; At the same time, I can protect you. ”
After speaking, he hammered the chest of the chicken boy: "Look, how is it?" ”
"Ahem~~~" The chicken boy rubbed his hot chest and stammered: "Wang~~~Big brother~~~Zhennai~~~fierce~~~~~Shi"
"Okay, no more nonsense, to go or not to go?"
"Go!" The problem of the stammering of the chicken boy seems to be instantly healed: "In the next horse~~~"
"Good! Brother Ma, let's go to Bo for a future, as long as the Son of Heaven takes a fancy to me, then I won't worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future~~~Hahaha~~~"
After speaking, Wang Shuangyi lifted Ma Jun, easily jumped on the big horse next to him, and rode towards Chang'an······ (To be continued.) )
