Chapter 214: Demotion Sima into Chang'an

Inside the household, a eunuch with a group of people came slowly. Seeing Sima Zhao holding an account in his hand, Zhang Chao and the three of them sat aside, all bowed their heads and flipped through them, and loudly announced: "When the holy decree arrives, Sima Zhao takes the decree."

When the four of them heard this, they looked up and saw a eunuch holding the holy decree in his hand, all of them showed puzzled looks, and they hurriedly walked to their knees and knelt down: "Ministers Sima Zhao, Zhao Xin, Li Jie, Zhang Chao, listen to the holy will."

"After Sima Zhao took office, he made a surplus in the household department and made outstanding contributions. It is specially promoted to Chang'an Taishou, and he will set off on the same day, and there must be no mistakes." After the eunuch finished reading, he closed the holy decree and looked at Sima Zhao with pity, waiting for him to receive the decree.

Ascend to Chang'an Taishou and set off on the same day. These nine big words, like a wild thunder, exploded in the minds of the four people. Rising brightly and descending darkly, these four words come to mind. Zhang Chaomeng raised his head and looked directly at the eunuch: "This is impossible, you are pretending to pass on the holy decree."

"Brother Sima, you can't accept this holy decree." Zhao Xin raised his head, looked at Sima Zhao who was kneeling in front of him, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Li Jie was also anxious, and hurriedly raised his head: "Brother Sima, you must think twice."

"False proclamation of the Holy Decree is such a great crime. You all look up and look with your eyes wide open. This is not only the will of His Majesty, but also the meaning of the imperial court. Look here, there is the seal of His Majesty, and the seal of the Prime Minister's House. What do you have to say at this time?" The eunuch pointed to the two seals on the holy decree and sneered at the four people. Holy decrees are generally issued with only His Majesty's seal. But at this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion added a seal, no doubt, to tell him that Sima Zhao did not want to go to Luoyang in this life. This is the unanimous decision of the court, civil and military officials.

Sima Zhao's heart was desolate, and he took off the official hat of the right attendant of the household department on his head and put it on the ground: "Minister Sima Zhao, take the order and thank you."

"Brother Sima, don't ...... about it." Zhao Xin and the three saw Sima Zhao take off his official hat and take the holy decree. One by one, their eyes were red, and they shouted to dissuade them. But it's that, useless work, and there is only a desolation in my heart.

Seeing that the four of them were about to die, the eunuch gloated: "It's not our family that said you, Lord Sima is a high promotion." Why, you guys, with such an expression, it's really a bit unlucky. If this is not careful, it will block Lord Sima's official luck, how bad it is."

The four of them stood up, and when they heard the eunuch's words, Zhang Chao and the three of them were furious: "You eunuch, how can you be so arrogant." Even if Brother Sima goes out of Luoyang, it's not something that you, a mere eunuch, can afford to provoke."

"How dare the old slave provoke Lord Sima, even if Lord Sima is dismissed and returns to his hometown, he is still Lord Wang's best friend. Our family heard that in ten days at most, Lord Wang will want to be the prime minister. Even if the old slave eats it, he won't dare to provoke him, Lord Sima." The eunuch covered his mouth with one hand, pretending to be very afraid, but his gloating eyes couldn't hide it. Why is there such a big difference between this man and his fate?

Hearing a word, Sima Zhao's heart seemed to be shattered. There was a sharp pain in his heart, and his face sank like water. Wang Andeng is in phase, the change of law is unstoppable, how many poor people can't live, the family will be ruined, Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao, look at you, what have you done. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and looked at the eunuch: "Since this official has received the order, then the father-in-law will please go back." In the afternoon, I met His Majesty and thanked him in person. Tomorrow, we will leave for Chang'an to take up our post."

"Meet Your Majesty? Tomorrow? I'm afraid Lord Sima is going to be disappointed. Your Majesty's grace, considering the adults, it may be a little tiring to pack up the sundries. So the old slave was specially ordered to take a group of people to help the adults in the house and pack up the bethings. Now they are all in the carriage outside the household department, as long as the adults go out of the household department, please go straight to Chang'an." When the eunuch heard Sima Zhao say that he would meet His Majesty, he sneered in his heart. Or think of yourself as the right attendant who controls the household? So ignorant of current affairs. If it weren't for Your Majesty, he would be kind-hearted and take care of the old feelings. I'm afraid that what comes now is not a promotion, but a dismissal.

Zhang Chao was furious when he heard the eunuch's words, pointed at him and asked: "Since Brother Sima is promoted, why can't he enter the palace to thank him, is it you, the eunuch, who deliberately can't stop it."

"Who told you to go to Brother Sima's mansion and pack your belongings. It is important to know that trespassing into an official's residence is a felony." Li Jie couldn't help it, and shouted at the eunuch.

Zhao Xin also hurriedly took the words of the two, and his eyes were a little cold: "Aren't you afraid, will I wait to report your trespass into the official's mansion to the imperial court?" You just wait, the wrath of the hundred officials, so that you have no bones."

"Our family is also acting on orders, why are you bothered, I, a subordinate in the palace." When the eunuch heard a threat from the three of them, he deliberately pretended to be very scared, but in his eyes, there was no fear.

Sima Zhao's eyes gradually became cold, and he looked down at the holy decree in his hand: "I don't know whose order you are serving?" Even if you want me Sima Zhao to leave, you should let me be a person who understands."

"Don't hide it, let the slaves, it is the queen mother who goes to the adult's mansion. The Queen Mother said to the old man, if the adult asked. can be generously said that it is the mourning family, let Sima Zhao, get out of Luoyang. You tell him to stay away from Luoyang and Kexin in the future. As long as you mourn your family, it will still be one day. He Sima Zhao, don't think about coming back." As the eunuch spoke, he learned the tone of the queen mother. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, her old man, who personally ordered her, how dare they treat Sima Zhao like this. Since he is a minion, he naturally has to be conscientious.

"Bang ......". The holy decree in Sima Zhao's hand suddenly fell. Unexpectedly, it was the Queen Mother. Could it be because the Queen Mother wants to protect Kexin and Liu Sheng, so she made a move and asked His Majesty and the Prime Minister to jointly issue this will. Could it be that behind this, there is Liu Sheng's shadow. He already had affection for Kexin, but he believed that the two of them knew the measure, so he didn't say anything. The beloved is robbed of love by his best friend. Wang An is about to be worshiped as the prime minister, but he has risen and descended secretly, from being in charge of one department to going to Chang'an, where to sit in the position of Taishou. Since then, I can only watch the poison of the law spread all over the world, countless poor families, and the family was ruined. The most miserable thing in life is probably nothing more than this. Thinking of this, I closed my eyes slightly and didn't speak.

When several people heard the sound of the holy decree falling to the ground, their hearts were suddenly shocked. The eunuch wanted to speak and say a few sarcastic words, but when the words came to his mouth, he seemed to think of something, and he didn't speak.

Zhao Xin and the three of them, seeing Sima Zhao closed his eyes slightly, thinking that during this time, in Luoyang City, it was rumored that the Queen Mother intended to protect the media, and their hearts were sour for him. Zhang Chao couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother Sima, there is a possibility that things are not what you think."

"Although we don't have much intersection with Liu Sheng. But according to rumors in the market, based on his past deeds, he will definitely not do it, a villain's move." Li Jie frowned, thinking of these things, he only felt a mess. After taking Zhang Chao's words, he also comforted.

Zhao Xin heard the two of them consoling Sima Zhao, opened his mouth, and finally held back a sentence: "Brother Sima, in fact, no matter what the matter is, it may be much better for you to ask directly in person than to guess in private."

"Thank you three for your concern, I will solve this matter well. Although Chang'an and Luoyang are not too far away, they are separated after all. From now on, I hope that you will take care of yourself." Sima Zhao arched his hand at the three of them, and without waiting for them to react, he turned around and walked directly outside the household. The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and when he saw him so refreshing, his heart was overjoyed. I thought that this matter was not easy to solve, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother's words to save him so much trouble. Thinking of this, he hurriedly followed happily.

Zhao Xin, Li Jie, and Zhang Chao saw Sima Zhao walking away, so they reacted and hurriedly followed to see each other off. (To be continued.) )
