Chapter 125: Changle Palace
At this time, Wang Yi walked over, pointed to the guard next to him and said, "Pick him up and let him reply slowly." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Two guards came over and helped the eunuch up. The eunuch also stopped crying, looked at Wang Mang, and then looked at the generals of His Highness and said: "Your Majesty, generals, their Pingzhou soldiers and horses are really powerful, as for how to fight, I haven't seen it at all." However, I saw that they had thunder and fire, and when the thunder and fire arrived, there was fire everywhere, and thunder was everywhere, and the sound was so loud that the war horses couldn't control it at all, and they ran around, so they didn't have to fight at all.
When I came out of the tent, there were still some Huns, gathering some men and horses, and rushed towards the soldiers and horses of Pingzhou. None of them ran over. Once the Pingzhou soldiers ran, there were thunders and fires flying over, first the team was in chaos, and then the Pingzhou cavalry, holding a short knife, stabbed directly. These Pingzhou soldiers, they didn't fight anywhere else, only stabbed the chest, and basically stabbed the Huns to death at once, and their horses ran very fast, and they rushed over with great strength. As soon as the hand was raised, it was pierced deeply, and then as soon as the hand was withdrawn, the person on the other side basically fell. ”
"Kill well, kill happily." Chen Mao shouted loudly, and some of the generals beside him also echoed.
The eunuch said: "But that Ju Ciyun is the person that the Empress Dowager wants." ”
Wang Yi asked, "Will they kill Ju Ciyun as well?" ”
The eunuch said: "I didn't have it when I was there, Ju Ciyun wanted to see Ma Yuan, and after seeing Ma Yuan, I was released, and I don't know what happened later." ”
Wang Yi turned his head to Jiang He and said: "Heshun wait, this Ju Ciyun is very important to the old man of the Empress Dowager, you go back and ask, and see if you can send Ju Ciyun to Chang'an." ”
Jiang Hexing thought to himself, Pingzhou would not kill prisoners, and this Ju Ciyun pointed out that if he knew Ma Yuan, Ma Yuan would not have any abuse. I think there should be no problem with this Ju Ciyun, just send a Dao order for him to send Ju Ciyun over. It's just that the road is too far away, and the contact between himself and the battlefield has to go through Zheng Yi and them.
Wait for his own order to the Xiongnu, and then send this Juciyun to Chang'an, it will take a few months.
But although Wang Mang is the emperor, it is better not to offend the empress dowager, not that the empress dowager still has any power, but that Wang Mang cannot afford the reputation of unfilial piety.
Jiang Hexing said to Wang Yi: "Da Sikong, this matter is easy to do, but the time is estimated to be very long, at least more than three months." ”
Wang Mang said on it: "No matter how long it takes, you must send it to Chang'an safely." In addition, and Shunhou, tomorrow, you go to Changle Palace to explain to the Empress Dowager what happened. ”
The river line has to be ordered.
Jiang Hexing didn't see what he had to do, and saluted out of the hall, and inside the hall where he listened, Wang Mang shouted loudly: "Da Sima, all the generals, everyone is almost done in Pingzhou, when will our army attack?" ”
Jiang Hexing thought to himself, this Wang Mang was probably because of the rapid advance of the soldiers and horses in Pingzhou, and he was very annoyed that the army of the New Dynasty had made no progress, not because he was annoyed with Jiang Hexing.
Jiang Hexing walked out of the main hall quickly, walked out of Changle Palace, someone led the white horse, sent torches, Jiang Hexing rode on the horse, holding the torch, two of his own personal soldiers guarded, slowly towards the barbarian mansion.
When they arrived at the Barbarian Mansion, it was not too late, the courtyard was brightly lit, and Zhang Meng and the others were fully armed, waiting for the return of Jiang Hexing.
The river was about to be recounted, and everyone was relieved, and then they dispersed.
The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Hexing took a few personal soldiers and rode a carriage to Changle Palace together.
After a while, I came to the gate of Changle Palace, although Changle Palace was large, it was obvious that few people had come here. On both sides of the road, the grass is half a man deep.
There was a team of guards at the gate of the palace, Jiang Hexing got out of the carriage and explained his intention, and a guard ran inside to report.
Maybe the palace is very big, and there has been no reaction, the sun is shining on the earth, the ground is like a fire, and the grass on both sides of the road outside the palace is hanging its head, looking wilted.
The people in the trees were upset, and Jiang Hexing stood in the car and waited anxiously.
Seeing that it was almost an hour, Jiang Hexing was restless, what was going on with this old lady?
At this moment, a man walked out of it.
Jiang Hexing saw that it was the eunuch who told Jiang Hexing about the Xiongnu in Weiyang Palace yesterday.
The eunuch looked at Jiang Hexing and shouted sharply: "The Empress Dowager has a decree, Xuanpingzhou and Wang enter the palace to see you." ”
When Jiang Hexing heard it, this old lady was different, she still shouted according to the treatment of the previous king, not the new dynasty and the new seal, it seems that she did not look at Jiang Hexing, but the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.
Jiang Hexing can't care too much, whether he is the king or the Hou, he only needs actual interests, and he doesn't care too much about the external reputation.
Jiang Hexing got out of the car to receive the order, and followed the eunuch towards the palace.
This Changle Palace is even larger than Weiyang Palace, and when you enter the main hall, you immediately feel a burst of coolness. The pillars of the main hall are very tall, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs standing on the side.
The biggest difference between this and Weiyang Palace is that there seems to be no sign of a new dynasty here, everything is the breath of the Han Dynasty, and the clothing style is still exactly the same as before.
Jiang Hexing didn't have the heart to look at it more, and he didn't know what the old lady would say.
He was thinking wildly when he heard an old voice in front of him, "And the king, are you here?" ”
Jiang Hexing looked up and saw the Queen Mother, walking out of it, with less gold ornaments on her head and white hair showing a particularly dazzling look.
The Empress Dowager sat behind the bookcase, still holding a dragon-headed cane in her hand.
Jiang Hexing walked quickly to the front, knelt down and saluted: "Pingzhou Jianghexing sees the Empress Dowager." ”
The old lady knocked the cane in her hand on the ground, and with a bang, it sounded like a lot of strength. Then the old lady said, "Rise up, stand up, and talk well with me, the old lady." No one remembers me as an old lady now, does they? If it wasn't my old lady who lost her temper yesterday, you probably wouldn't have come to see me, would you? ”
Jiang Hexing listened to the tone of the Empress Dowager, not like he was annoyed with himself, but more of a resentment. She used to love to be lively, but now she has such an attitude, in this Changle Palace, rejecting the atmosphere of the new dynasty, who would dare to come to ordinary officials.
Jiang Hexing got up, stood opposite the Empress Dowager, and looked up. The Empress Dowager is much older than in previous years, and she feels like she is in her last years.
Jiang Hexing opened his mouth and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, I am now in the Barbarian Mansion, and many action arrangements must be arranged by the imperial court, and I can't act without authorization." Yesterday His Majesty asked me to ask the Empress Dowager for guilt, and today I rushed here early in the morning to ask you for guilt. ”
The old lady knocked the cane in her hand to the ground, and scolded in her mouth: "Wang Mang is a bad melon, he has to take care of everything." ”
Jiang Hexing almost laughed, he really didn't expect that the Empress Dowager, a graceful and luxurious person all her life, would actually scold her, and it could be seen that she had a deep resentment towards Wang Mang.
Jiang Hexing didn't say anything, and the old lady then asked: "King He, why did you use troops against the Xiongnu, and why did you arrest Ju Ciyun again?" ”
Jiang Hexing told the story of the Xiongnu's bloody washing of the border as it was, and roughly talked about his own use of troops, first beating Zuo Xianwang, then beating Shan Yu, and finally coming back by himself, ordering horse aid to lead the troops, etc.
After hearing this, the old lady was not angry, but said: "My big man is really a hero, I thought he was amazing before this horse aid, but now he is young and leads the troops to fight." Huo Qubing was also like this back then, and he fought in the south and north of the Xiongnu at a young age.
However, Hewang, do you know that this is different from the previous period of Emperor Wu? ”
Jiang Hexing shook his head and said, "Please make it clear to the Empress Dowager." (To be continued.) )
