The platform is calling? Shi Dayong looked dazed: What do you mean?

The subordinates were also confused by the content of the edict, and they were all very puzzled, and they didn't understand how the emperor summoned his own general on the platform, instead of meeting him in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace as he said in advance. Where is this platform?

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, where is this platform?" Shi Dayong felt strange in his heart, and saw that the eunuch was also kind, so he asked cautiously.

The eunuch didn't answer, but only said in a sharp voice: "General Shi will know when he goes." The emperor is in a hurry, so let's go with our family. The tone was lukewarm, a business-like look.

"Father-in-law, please wait, and when the last general settles down, he will enter the palace with his father-in-law."

The emperor wanted to see him, Shi Dayong didn't dare to delay, but he was worried that he would leave, and his subordinates would have no one to arrange, so he asked Ding Zongdao to settle down properly on his behalf. asked the eunuch again, and knew that he could lead two subordinates to go with him, so he asked Shao Wu to stay here, and Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao entered the palace with him.

Settling the Jinzhou soldiers will be a matter within Ding Zongdao's part, there is no need for Shi Dayong to say more, Ding Zongdao also has to do, after responding one by one, his face suddenly tightened, he glanced left and right, and saw that the eunuch was not staring, so he whispered to Shi Dayong:

"General Shi, the emperor summoned you to meet on the platform, this is your blessing. However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the general is requested to deal with them cautiously, and do not deal with them rashly. ”

Blessings and misfortunes? Don't be rash?

Shi Dayong was stunned and looked at Ding Zongdao's face, but he couldn't see any hints from the other party's face.

muttered in his heart, listening to Ding Zongdao's words, it doesn't seem to be a good thing to be summoned on this platform, and there are still some risks. He is a meritorious soldier, a great victory in Jinzhou, a heavy blow to Dongyu, and sent these thousands of Jiannu heads to Beijing, which is meritorious in Sheji, Chongzhen has no reason not to see himself? Where does the great joy come from?

was thinking about it, but the eunuch was anxious to enter the palace because of the emperor's order, and when he saw Shi Dayong rubbing with the people in the military department, he couldn't help but be impatient, and shouted: "General Shi, the emperor is in a hurry, if you arrange it properly, then follow our family into the palace." ”

"Yes, yes."

Shi Dayong nodded hurriedly, walked over quickly, bowed sideways, and asked the eunuch to go first, and it was extremely polite to gesture. He glanced at Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao again, and the two generals were busy and saluted respectfully.

When the eunuch saw it, he snorted, but he was satisfied in his heart, and secretly said that the generals of the Liao army still knew how to count etiquette, not like those generals in the northwest.

At that moment, led by the eunuch, surrounded by four brocade guards, Shi Dayong, Cao Bianjiao, and Jiang Wanli galloped towards the imperial city.

Along the way, there were cheers from the people, but it was the news that the emperor wanted to see the meritorious soldiers of the Liao army, and the people had gathered on both sides of the road to see the demeanor of the Liao army

Platform, also known as PTZ, is the PTZ Gate of the Pole Palace. Since the founding of Taizu, the Son of Heaven has had a system of summoning courtiers on the platform to discuss state affairs, and since the middle of Emperor Wanli of Shenzong, the system of summoning courtiers on the platform has been cancelled. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, it was reopened. But so far, this platform has only been summoned once, and there is only one courtier seen, and this person is Yuan Chonghuan.

After Yuan Chonghuan's death, Chongzhen never went to the platform again, and after a few years, when Yuzu stepped in again, every word of the monarch's reply couldn't help but come to mind.

"The Ministry of Construction jumped off the beam, ten years in Z, the territory fell, and the people of Liao were devastated; Qing Wanli went to the call, loyal and courageous, all the Pingliao strategies, can be played in practice! ”

"All the strategies have been sparse. The minister is now known by the emperor, and he is willing to take advantage of the cheap, and the construction of the ministry can be leveled in five years, and the whole Liao can be restored! ”

"Five years of resumption of Liao, is the strategy, I do not hesitate to reward the marquis, and work hard to solve the pain of the world! His descendants will also be blessed!"

"Five years to restore Liao, five years to return to Liao"

Chongzhen muttered to himself, looked at the empty platform, thoughtful, for a long time, and sighed.

Wang Chengen knew what the emperor was thinking, so he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, and Hou was at the bottom of the stairs, thinking about the intention of the emperor to summon Jinzhou General Shi on the platform

The three of Shi Dayong, who had just entered the city, were shocked by the majesty of Bauhinia City and the supreme authority of this imperial city.

The three of them didn't dare to look around, and honestly followed behind the eunuch, even if they didn't dare to step a little faster.

After going around the palace a few times, except for the eunuchs and palace maids, Shi Dayong did not see anyone else. But what made him strange was that when those eunuchs and palace maids saw them, their expressions were very strange, as if they had seen monsters. This made Shi Dayong involuntarily touch his mask, thinking that it was the mask that caused the trouble.

After a few more moments, the eunuch led them to settle down in front of a palace, turned back to them, and said, "When the platform arrives, you wait, and our family will report when we go inside." ”

"I'm tired of my father-in-law." Shi Dayong took out an ingots from his arms and handed it to the eunuch

When the eunuch saw it, he accepted it calmly, nodded slightly, and went straight into the house to report.

After a while, people came out of the hall and beckoned to Shi Dayong and them: "Long live the Lord called you in." ”

"Yes, father-in-law."

Shi Dayong hurriedly led Jiang Cao and the others into the hall with their feet, but the eunuch suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them, and pointed at the saber on their waists.

raised his feet and was about to leave, but the eunuch stretched out his hand and pointed at his face, Shi Dayong was stunned, knowing that the other party was going to take off the mask by himself, but thinking of Qiu Hejia's explanation, he couldn't help but hesitate.

When the eunuch saw this, he was a little unhappy, and reprimanded: "The emperor summoned you, as a courtier, how can you not show your true face!" ”

Shi Dayong hurriedly said: "The father-in-law is angry, the last general is not unwilling to take off the mask, but there is a hardship, and this mask cannot be removed." ”

"What's the problem?" The eunuch was strange and looked at the mask on Shi Dayong's face again.

Shi Dayong said: "The last general's face was injured by artillery fire when he was fighting with the Eastern Prisoners, and half of his face was cut off by the cannon, so it is hideous and terrifying, it is really difficult to show people, if you go to this mask, the last general is afraid of shocking the holy driver, and please forgive your father-in-law!" ”

"Yes, father-in-law, my general was almost killed in that battle, and I am lucky to be able to pick up my life." Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao were also there.

"I see."

The eunuch is not an unreasonable person, and he received Shi Dayong's ingots, the so-called scooping people with short hands and soft mouths, it is not good to force the other party to take off the mask, and I think that this Shi Mou's face is injured in the battle with the Tartars, and the emperor will definitely not blame the other party for wearing a mask to see him. Therefore, he said: "In this case, our family will not embarrass you, but when we see Banzai, if Banzai asks, you must explain it yourself, so as not to misunderstand Banzai." ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the end will know."

Shi Dayong nodded in response, and the eunuch didn't say more, and the front leader led the three people into the main hall, passed through the hall, and came to the cloud platform.

The eunuch stooped down and reported: "Long live Qiyu, Jinzhou Counselor Shi Mou is here!" ”

Wang Chengen waved his hand at him, and the eunuch hurriedly glanced at Shi Dayong and them, and Shi Dayong and the three of them immediately knelt forward and bowed three times and nine times.

"Chen Shi Dayong (Jiang Wanli, Cao Bianjiao) has seen my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the ceremony, the three of them did not dare to get up, lowered their heads, solemnized their hands, and waited for the emperor's royal voice to sound.

However, after waiting for dozens of seconds, they did not hear the emperor tell them to get up.

Shi Dayong was nervous, and Jiang Cao and the others were not much better, after all, it was the great tomorrow sitting in front of them, and they were all meeting His Majesty the Emperor for the first time, and no one was much better than the other.

In addition to being nervous, Shi Dayong was more looking forward to it, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, from the moment he traveled to this era, he dreamed of seeing this Emperor Zhuang Lie with his own eyes.
