[45 Like a dream, the road is on the way]
(PS: The title of today's chapter seems to be a bit out of place.) Forget it, as if you didn't see it...... )
…………………… Dividing line ..............................
The emperor's face was very bad, and he said in a deep voice: "Not bad. Just now, the Shoubao Zhong of Dunhuang County sent an 800-mile expedited message, saying that it had not rained in the three northwestern states for half a year, and that the victims of the disaster in Xinzhou were like mountains and seas, and there were faint signs that they could not be suppressed. The Xiongnu were making trouble in northern Xinjiang again, constantly attacking the three northwestern states, and Liang Gong made another urgent move, hoping that the cabinet would approve the implementation of the red alert order......"
"Red Alert?" Hu Gong gasped and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, once the red alert is ordered, then the three northwestern states will be completely reduced to a sea of blood......
The emperor sighed and said, "I don't know, it's just ......" Speaking of this, he seemed to think that Shen Yun was still here, so he said: "Yuan Rang, you go back first." ”
Shen Yun knew that they would have important state affairs to discuss, so he didn't say anything more, and bowed down to say goodbye. At this time, the emperor took out a sign from his arms, handed it over, and said, "By the way, you hold this card." ”
Shen Yun took it and found that it was a black jade plate, the black was deep, and the ink-like color was about to drip out of the jade. The obverse is a bird seal of the "Han" character, and the reverse side is a official book "order". The jade color is deep, the tentacles are smooth and cool, and it is definitely a priceless treasure.
"This ......," Shen Yun wondered.
Liu Ju smiled and said: "Tomorrow is your birthday, I have nothing to give, so I will give you this jade plate as a gift!" ”
My birthday? Shen Yun was in a trance.
Before and after the crossing, Shen Yun never remembered when his birthday was, but the emperor he saw for the first time in front of him, his Uncle Liu, remembered it......
Hu Gong patted his head and said in surprise: "Ah, how did I forget this stubble, in previous years, we would give some gifts on your birthday, but they were all in Qingquan, and now ...... Alas, I'll leave it to you! Saying that, he also took out a small object from his arms and threw it to Shen Yun, "Virtuous nephew, there is nothing else in a hurry, you can take this!" ”
Shen Yun took it and looked at it, damn, it's a jade card again!
This is a dark green jade, and there is a gold-inlaid edge around the jade, like an eagle with wings spread. The front is also a bird seal of the "Han" character, but the back is a "Hu" character. Looking at the jade color, it is definitely not as valuable as the one given by the emperor, but it is also a superb piece.
Damn, what are these two jade plaques for? Shen Yun didn't want to ask, so he could only bow down and thank him. Then the money is dismissed.
Waiting for Shen Yun to walk out of the main hall, Hu Gong suddenly said, "Your Majesty, why did you give him the token of the Yulin Secret Guard?" ”
The emperor glared at him: "Then didn't you give him Hu Gong's private order that can mobilize a company of troops?" ”
Hu Gong scratched his head: "Hehe, I'm not worried that he won't be able to deal with that little girl in Lianggong's house when he returns to Bohaihou, with my token, how can I say that that little girl doesn't dare to do anything to him, right?" ”
The emperor sighed and said, "Alas, I am not worried that the Qingquan incident will happen again, so I just gave him this life talisman......
Hu Cheng said: "Your Majesty, since the Shoucheng Hall can forge a token to mobilize the Yulin Secret Guard, then the matter is not ordinary, you can take more precautions!" ”
The emperor nodded solemnly: "I have already asked Tu Tianjiao to investigate, and there will be results soon." Hmph, you can't find the culprit to get angry, I can still clean up those accomplices. Whoever participates in this, I will make him pay the price he deserves! ”
"Oh, by the way, Weichen still has something to ask Your Majesty!" Hu Gong said suddenly.
"What?"
"Wechen learned that there are a group of capable people in the Class A prison, and I want to take them to the northern Xinjiang......"
The emperor suddenly looked at Hu Gong with a smile: "You know? Hehe, didn't Yuan Rang tell you? Those people's parents and relatives are all on Milan Farm, aren't they, what are you going to do when you take them to the north? ”
"Well, Your Majesty's Sacred Heart Candle shines, and Weichen doesn't dare to hide it. Yes, it was the stinky boy who told me. But those people do have the ability, and the edict of succession ......"
The emperor suddenly changed color, and snorted coldly: "Don't mention that edict, if it wasn't for that stinky woman forcing me that day, why would I sign this edict...... Hateful, hateful! ”
Duke Hu didn't ask the empress dowager how she was forced to do so, but it must have something to do with the secrecy of the palace, so he said: "Your Majesty don't worry, those people are also loyal and righteous, and Weichen brought them to Northern Xinjiang for training, and he may not be the pillar of the country in the future." As for the edict, everyone is in our hands, and the edict is gone! ”
The emperor suddenly stared at Hu Gong coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Can you guarantee that this edict will never appear?" ”
This sudden coldness made Hu Gongdu, who had always been very arrogant, lower his head, and said a little uncomfortably: "This ...... Wechen is willing to guarantee! ”
"Well, everyone will give it to you!" The emperor suddenly and quickly interfaced.
agreed so readily, but Hu Gong suddenly had an unreal illusion. He thought that even if the emperor agreed, he would put forward conditions, or he would leave the time to steal the edict and release the letter alone, but the emperor did not say anything more, and simply agreed.
Hu Gong looked up at the emperor with some doubts, but the latter had already grown up, walked down the Dragon Court, and said as he walked: "Let's go, long halberd, I still have to discuss the matter of the three states in the northwest with you!" ”
"Whoa!" Hu Gong hurriedly got up and followed, the emperor didn't get angry, and he didn't talk about the conditions, but he was a little uncomfortable.
What the hell is this emperor thinking? It's really unfathomable!
……………………… Dividing line ...........................
After leaving the palace, I got into the carriage and walked back leisurely, still wondering in my heart.
This trip to the palace, I didn't get any rewards, so I got a holy decree that had not been read and was not considered a secret decree, by the way, there were two more priceless jade plates...... Is it a gain or a loss?
But after thinking about it for a while, Shen Yun still concluded that he had earned it. At least he knew that the emperor was not really angry with himself, and he had a good relationship with himself, although in today's Han Empire, the emperor also had a queen mother to hinder him, but to be able to get the favor of the country's leaders, this is not an opportunity that everyone has.
When he returned to the courtyard of the other courtyard, Shen Yun handed the ink jade card to Shen Wu to see, and Shen Wu took the jade card and looked at it for a long time before asking, "Shizi, what brand is this?" ”
Shen Yun was stunned and said, "Uncle Wu, I was just about to ask you!" ”
Shen Wu said embarrassedly: "I have shallow knowledge, I don't know." However, the color of this jade is good, and it should be worth 100 gold! ”
"Not to mention a hundred gold, it is simply the same price as heaven and earth!" Someone shouted outside the hospital.
Shen Yun turned his head to look at it but saw that it was Gongfu Xiao, his head was wrapped in a white scarf, his eyes were round, and he looked straight at the black jade plate in Shen Wu's hand, grabbed a few steps ahead, wanted to take it but didn't dare, and said: "Yuan Rang, this, this, this jade plate......"
Shen Yun took the jade plaque from Shen Wu's hand and smiled casually: "Why, Ai Chengjun also wants to appreciate this piece of ink jade?" This is a birthday present from His Majesty, so I can play with it! ”
Gongfu Xiao hurriedly waved his hand: "Yuan Rang, you hurry up and put this thing away!" Don't show it easily! Do you know what kind of jade plaque this is? ”
Shen Yun shook his head and said he didn't know. Gongfu said: "This is the black jade card that can command the secret guard of Yulin!" There are six jade plaques in total, one for each of the three rulers, and His Majesty takes three. Once there is a will, he only needs to take out one of the pieces of jade to check in the hands of the commander, and he can order the Yulin secret guard...... Your Majesty is worried about the recurrence of Brother Qingquan's incident, so I entrust you with the sharp weapon of this country! Yuanrang, the glory of your holy family is really enviable! ”
Only then did Shen Yun understand that this jade plate was so valuable. While suppressing, I couldn't help but add a little good impression to Emperor Liu Ju. At this time, he remembered another thing, and quickly took out the jade plate that Hu Gong gave him, and asked, "Ai Chengjun, look at it, what is this jade plate for?" ”
Gongfu Xiao took a look and said, "Huh", "This is His Royal Highness Hu Gong's private card!" What is it for? ”
"Mobilize the troops!" Shen Wu next to him suddenly said, "Shizi, I know this jade plate." This is the Flying Eagle Guard's military card! With this token, you can mobilize a company of soldiers! ”
Shen Yun and Gongfu Xiao asked at the same time, "How do you know?" ”
Shen Wu scratched his head: "I served in the army before, so I know." This is a token that is forged by each Legion Commander after he succeeds him. However, this kind of jade plate can only mobilize a company of soldiers, and if you want to transfer more than one company, you need to have a commander's handwritten order. This token is rare in the Second Class Legion, and in the First Class Legion, it is only used in wartime emergencies! ”
Shen Yun and Gongfu were stunned at the same time. But Shen Yun asked puzzledly, "Then why did His Royal Highness Duke Hu give me this jade plate?" ”
Gongfu said: "Hu Gong always has Hu Gong's reason, you should take good care of it, don't lose it." By the way, did Your Majesty pass on the title to you? ”
Shen Yun sighed and told Gongfu Xiao what he saw and heard when he entered the palace this time, and Gongfu Xiao also hated it: "It's not once or twice that the Queen Mother is dominant, this time it was her doing, I should have thought of preventing Yuan Rang from inheriting the title, alas, it's really indignant!" Don't worry, tomorrow I will let my colleagues play, and I will definitely ...... this matter."
"Oi Chengjun," Shen Yun hurriedly interrupted, "Your Majesty has his own opinions on this matter, you should concentrate on dealing with the matter of the Imperial Bank at this moment, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous troubles!" ”
Gongfu sighed, and nodded in response.
Although Shen Yun did not inherit the title, everyone in the Shen family still regarded him as the Marquis of Bohai, of course, the title was still commensurate with the son.
Walking into the room, Shen Yun heard many doubts in his heart to Gongfu Xiao.
"Oi Chengjun, speaking of which, Your Majesty has been on the throne for twenty years, has it always been restrained by the Queen Mother?"
"Definitely. Since His Majesty ascended the throne in 980 of the Han Dynasty, he has actually been in charge of the dynasty alone, and the three of Lianggong, Yinggong, and Zhigong have also been carefully assisted. Of course, there has been a problem between the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, but the three dukes are still loyal to Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother has no aid from the DPRK and China, so she has been holding back.
Until ten years ago, Guan Xin, the first assistant to the cabinet, privately borrowed 10 million gold coins from the Imperial Bank, but was unable to repay it when it expired, so he took the blame and resigned. His Majesty strongly recommended that the then Hubu Shangshu Yu Wenhu be the first assistant of the cabinet, but Liang Gong and Ying Gong strongly promoted Zhi Gong to the throne. At that time, many officials in the court and the central government supported His Royal Highness Zhigong, and His Majesty was also very hesitant. Later, for some reason, His Majesty still promoted Yuwen Hu to the position of first assistant, and at the same time listened to Yu Wenhu's words, promoted Hu Gong and Yi Gong to marshals, and took charge of the four armor regiments of guards, flying horses, flying eagles, and biao cavalry, to check and balance the three dukes. As a result, the third prince became more and more dissatisfied with His Majesty, which gave the Queen Mother a chance to take advantage of the situation.
The Queen Mother was born in the Dou family, and has an in-law relationship with the Zhigong and Yinggong families within three generations. Princess Huayang, the daughter of the Queen Mother, married His Royal Highness Yinggong and gave birth to Princess Duanping. The daughter of Duke Ying, the county lord Rong Jing, married His Royal Highness Zhigong and gave birth to Zhuge Yun, the second son of Zhigong, and the cousin of Zhigong, the county lord of Xingyang, was the wife of the prince of Liang, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and his daughter married the Marquis of Bohai......"
Shen Yun's head was as big as a bucket when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Wait, wait, don't say it so fast, I'm dizzy." What's the matter, it's too complicated! ”
The father-in-law looked at Shen Yun steadily, and said something that surprised Shen Yun very much: "If you follow the etiquette system, you must call His Royal Highness Duke Liang Grandpa, and the Empress Dowager Grandma!" ”
"But now this grandmother is going to kill my grandson?!" Shen Yun said in surprise. It's so messy, it's almost a fight with the "self-becoming your own ancestor".
Thinking of this, Shen Yun said a little gloomily: "Actually, this is all a matter of brothers' rivalry, and we Han people are famous for their infighting...... Alas, then I should have left Luoyang as soon as possible, so as not to let these relatives have a black hand behind their backs! ”
Gongfu nodded.
"Okay, Uncle Wu, you go and prepare with Ai Chengjun, I'll sleep first, and leave Luoyang early tomorrow morning!" If it's okay, don't bother me! ”
"Yes, Shizi!" Shen Wu surrendered. The father-in-law also withdrew.
As soon as the two of them left, Shen Yun immediately hid in the inner room, took off his filial piety clothes, changed into simple clothes, and then ran out of a secluded place in the backyard.
Outside Beppu, He Kuan and Dou Xian were already waiting there, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly greeted him, and said hurriedly: "Why did you come?" Brother Teng Yu is in a hurry! ”
This area of Beppu is in the Miyayu Mountain, which is a place where nobles live, and there are many houses, but the flow of people is scarce. Shen Yun followed He Kuan and Dou Xian to a secluded corner, where Fang Xuan, who looked like a dusty servant, had been waiting for a long time.
"Teng Yu, are you in a hurry?" Shen Yundao.
With an indescribable smile on Fang Cheng's face, he said, "I knew that you wouldn't let go so easily, after being so wronged, if you didn't get some justice, you wouldn't leave Luoyang so easily!" ”
"The parents of those who gave birth to me, and Brother Teng Yu who knows me!" Shen Yun also smiled, turned to He Kuan and Dou Xian and said, "Ji Ru and Zida, you two go back first!" Remember, you can't say anything about Brother Teng Yu coming back. ”
He Dou and the two said in unison: "Yuan let me rest assured, the two of us will never reveal a word!" ”
He Kuan hesitated a little and said, "But, we really don't need to do anything more?" ”
Shen Yun patted him on the shoulder: "No need, if this matter fails, I and Brother Teng Yu can still escape death, but you two ...... After this semester, you will be able to enter the Executive Yuan, and you must not delay your life because of this trivial matter, besides, it is not appropriate for many people to do this! ”
He Kuan nodded, and then pulled Dou Xian away. From beginning to end, they didn't ask Shen Yun what he was going to do.
Fang Cheng looked at their backs and whispered, "Yuan Rang, didn't you tell them that you planned to rob the Imperial Bank?" ”
Shen Yun nodded: "Not bad." The less they know, the better for them and for us! As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Fang Cheng and said with a smile: "What, are you afraid?" ”
Fang Cheng smiled: "I'm afraid not." Huainan Hou and Bohai Hou have always been in the same spirit, but I, a good student with excellent character and learning, was finally taken bad by you, and I feel a little disappointed! ”
Shen Yun pouted: "Disappointed, if you are really a good student with excellent character and learning, when everyone ignored me, you should also take the opportunity to break off with me." But you're still ambiguous with me, hehe, then you have to follow me all the way to the dark! After speaking, Shen Yun strode forward.
Fang Cheng followed and shouted behind his back: "Hey, you can make it clear, what is ambiguous?" I'm not as good as Longyang! ”
"Hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to move when it gets dark, and something big will happen!" Shen Yun ignored his call and smiled.
