Chapter 858: Chaohui (Plus Change, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
The practice of the Han Dynasty was that every five days was a dynasty.
This was originally a major event for the emperor to govern, and he sat in the court every five days to discuss state affairs with his ministers, which was the common thing to do later, and he had nothing to do to retreat from the court. After the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion successively controlled the government, Liu Chan had long been out of business, but the habit of sitting in the court every five days still could not be changed, which symbolized the prestige of the imperial court.
The court is a chore, you have to enter the palace before dawn, and those who live outside the city have to get up even in the middle of the night, and even the emperor who lives in the palace has to get up before dawn. Even though Wei Ba was used to smelling chickens and dancing, he was a little unbearable to this habit of going to court, and went to bed early the first night, and the father and son set off together before the next day.
Wei Ba is like this, and Zhuge Liang, who is sick and dying, must also be like this. It stands to reason that he could have taken leave and didn't have to go to court, anyway, if there is anything, Yang Yi and others will tell him, and if necessary, the Son of Heaven may even come to him in person to ask for instructions. But not today, because he wants to face Wei Ba, there is only such a chance.
In the past two days, Zhuge Liang sent someone to invite Wei Ba three times, but Wei Ba refused. Wei Ba replied righteously and strictly, with official affairs at home and private affairs at home. If you want to talk about business, I have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have nothing to talk about, and if I want to talk, I should be in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I won't go to your private house. As for private matters, I'm sorry, I don't have anything personal to talk to you about, so it's better not to see you.
Zhuge Liang thought it was ridiculous. Since Liu Bei entered Shu, he has never encountered such a thing, usually someone wants to see him but can't see him, he didn't think that there are people he wants to see who refuse to see him, but the two families are only separated by a courtyard wall. It's so close that you can reach it with your feet lifted.
The situation is out of control, and now, Zhuge Liang has no choice but to support his sick body, refuse the courtesy of the Son of Heaven to let him take leave, and go to court with his illness.
Outside the palace gate, Zhuge Liang saw Wei Ba, but Wei Ba was talking and laughing with Li Yan, and it was not good for him to step forward directly. Besides, under the public's court, he can't say it. I had to close my eyes and recuperate. Wei Wei Zhao Yun saw it. I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I stepped forward and saluted.
"Prime Minister!"
Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, and by the light of the fire, it took a long time to recognize Zhao Yun. smiled apologetically: "It turned out to be Zilong." Shame shame. Poor spirits. Poor eyesight, didn't recognize Zilong. ”
"The prime minister is not in good health, why don't you recuperate in the mansion?"
"Something. Secure. Zhuge Liang moved his body and lay down more comfortably. Although spring has arrived, the night is cold, and the old fur on his body can't stop the cold, making him chill for a while. He glanced at Wei Ba in the distance and strengthened his spirits: "I heard that Wei Ziyu went to your mansion that day?" ”
"Hmm." Zhao Yun leaned forward and said in a low voice: "He has a young heart, but his quality is not bad, the prime minister is tolerant, don't worry about him." ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and his body tensed. He glanced at Zhao Yun: "Really? ”
Zhao Yun smiled and nodded quietly.
Zhuge Liang was relieved and let out a long breath. After a while, he said again: "Lao Fu Zilong inform Dong Yun and ask him to come to see me." ”
"Whoa." Zhao Yun answered and turned to leave. He arranged for someone to go to Dong Yun, and after a short time, Dong Yun came in a hurry. Zhuge Liang attached himself to his ear and confessed a few words, Dong Yun nodded again and again, turned around and entered the palace again.
Li Yan had been paying attention to Zhuge Liang, and when he saw Dong Yun, he chuckled: "Wei Ziyu, be careful, you probably won't be able to escape today." ”
Wei Ba shrugged his shoulders and disagreed. "General, I don't think it's necessarily me who should be careful, it may be the general."
Li Yan glanced at him and smiled.
After waiting in front of the door for a long time, the palace gate finally opened with a bang, and hundreds of civil and military officials rushed in. At this time, no matter how arrogant people usually are, they will hold their breath and follow suit, and dare not have any carelessness, otherwise they will be impeached by the imperial history, or even be blown out on the spot. Wei Ba is a military attaché, the military attache is headed by the general, the hussar general Wu Yi is not there, and under the general is the right car cavalry general Wei Yan, the left car cavalry general Zhuge Liang, Wei Ba is the general of Zhennan, closely followed Zhuge Liang.
The two of them went one after the other, but unfortunately they couldn't speak at this time, and all of Zhuge Liang's mind was walking. Even though the imperial palace in Chengdu is not large, the road is still too long for him, and he worries that he will not be able to walk the end.
Wei Ba walked behind Zhuge Liang, arched his hands, and looked at Zhuge Liang's swaying back quietly.
After walking about half the way, Zhuge Liang's breath became thicker and heavier, and several people could hear his heavy breathing. Wei Yan, who was walking in front of him, couldn't help it, turned around to help Zhuge Liang, and at the same time glared at Wei Ba viciously.
"Thank you, Buncho." Zhuge Liang patted Wei Yan's arm, grateful.
"Prime Minister, why should you?"
"The Lu of the king of food should be worried about the king."
"Alas-" Wei Yan sighed lightly, not knowing what to say.
When they arrived at the court, everyone sat in the direction of Wen Dongwu and Xi. Wei Ba sat on Zhuge Liang's right side, facing east. He arched his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and hung the curtains, and said nothing. Zhuge Liang glanced at him sideways and coughed lightly: "Ziyu? ”
Wei Ba turned sideways and said solemnly: "General, please pay attention to Chaoyi." ”
Zhuge Liang turned his head back helplessly. Wei Ba, where is it to pay attention to Chaoyi, this is simply the meaning of "I don't want to talk to you". He sighed, but he was not disappointed, he had just asked Dong Yun to go and tell Emperor Liu Chan that he wanted Liu Chan to leave Wei Ba behind after the court meeting. The emperor keeps you, don't you dare not stay?
Therefore, no matter how much Wei Ba refused to be thousands of miles away, it would not affect the overall situation, and in the end, he still had to sit down with him in front of the emperor and have the conversation that should have taken place two days ago. Zhao Yun gave him a thorough understanding just now, although he has not finally reassured, but he has roughly had a little bottom, and he is no longer so urgent.
Let's let you do it a little longer, after all, it's a young man.
Zhuge Liang thought.
In the sound of drums, Emperor Liu Chan beat his spirit and sat on the throne.
A eunuch walked up to the front of the stairs and loudly announced the official start of the court meeting, and asked those who had something to play to do the prelude. Above the court, there is a default order, although Zhuge Liang depreciates himself to the general of the left chariot, but he is still the default prime minister, even the general Li Yan above the position of the prime minister is very polite to give up the first opportunity to speak.
There was silence in the court, and everyone focused their eyes on Zhuge Liang. Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang has not appeared on such an occasion for a long time. After returning from Guanzhong, he lived in the palace, but he did not appear at the court meeting, and the party took the initiative to report to him in the side hall to ask for instructions, and personally attended the court meeting as today, and appeared in the ranks of military attachés as a general of the left chariot, not as the prime minister, and for the first time in history.
Zhuge Liang coughed and shook his head gently, indicating that he had no roots.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Yan again. Li Yan came out of the ranks, said a few words of nonsense that were not salty or light, and it was over. He knows better than anyone that today's protagonist is not him, but Wei Ba. He wasn't interested in wasting time, he couldn't wait to see the show.
After Li Yan finished speaking, it was the turn of Jiuqing on the civil official's side, Jiuqing didn't say any nonsense, and soon it was Wei Yan's turn, Wei Yan had nothing to do, so he ignored the past directly, and then came to Wei Ba.
In an instant, there was silence in the hall, and everyone turned their eyes to Wei Ba, the youngest general of the Four Towns in the history of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Although Wei Ba has been on one side for many years, and has commanded the army countless times, it is also a long time tested, but today standing in the solemn court and being watched by everyone, he is still a little trembling.
In the expectation of everyone, he took a deep breath, got up and walked out, and said loudly: "Qiyu bixia, the minister has a book." ”
Before the words fell, everyone held their breath in unison, and the main event came. Even Zhuge Liang couldn't help but straighten up.
Liu Chan, who had been drowsy, also sat up straight, raised his hand and motioned for Wei Ba to speak quickly.
Wei Ba took out a book from his left sleeve, and the sharp-eyed person couldn't help but gasp when he glanced at it. It's so thick, how much does it take? Before they could come back to their senses, Wei Ba put this book back and took out another one from his right sleeve, and everyone looked at each other with some fear in their eyes.
Wei Ba actually has two books, and they are all so thick, when does this have to be said, could it be that he thinks that today's court meeting is his Yiyantang? Many people glanced at Zhuge Liang sympathetically, and said in their hearts that when Wei Ba's two books were finished, they didn't know if Zhuge Liang could still stand.
With Song Shu in his hand, Wei Ba was completely relaxed, he held Song Shu in his hand, and coughed: "Bixia, the minister has a book, impeach the general Li Ping for delaying the military, and the rewards and punishments are uneven." ”
The crowd was in an uproar again. They all thought that Wei Ba was going to get along with Zhuge Liang, but they didn't expect that his first one was to impeach the general Li Yan. Li Yan and he are in a group, they just cooperated to subdue Sun Quan, and the two of them just happened to be in honey, why did he impeach Li Yan in a blink of an eye. Could it be that they have already rebelled in the nest?
There was silence in the main hall, and everyone turned their eyes to Li Yan.
Li Yan also felt that his back was cold and swishing. Wei Ba wanted to impeach him, he didn't know it in advance, it was a sudden blow. He couldn't figure out what Wei Ba wanted to do, so he gave Wei Ba a few glances, but Wei Ba turned a blind eye, holding hands in his hands, waiting for the emperor's edict.
Li Yan's face was a little ugly, and his sideburns were slightly sweating.
These all fell in Zhuge Liang's eyes. Zhuge Liang was also a little dazed. Judging from Li Yan's face, this should not be their collusion with haode, so what does Wei Ba mean? Is it a false move, or is it really planning to attack Li Yan? If it's the latter, things are much easier...... (To be continued......)
