Chapter 3 The two factions of the Taiji Hall compete

"There is a book, but there is no book!"

The piercing scream of Dong Meng, the permanent attendant of the Imperial City, reverberated in the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City of Luoyang, and another great court meeting began.

Today's Hui Di is unusual, and he does not have the slightest impatience, but his face is full of excitement and expectation. From Dong Meng, he knew that today he was going to meet with the generals who went out to the customs and accept their praises. That Qi Wannian, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, dared to raise an army! Hmph, didn't he beat his general to death?!

He was very happy about Qi Wannian's death. Because he also knew that Qi Wannian raised troops in Guanzhong, and if he accidentally succeeded, what would be the consequences. Then he will be pulled off the throne and lose the opportunity to enjoy this world of flowers!

Therefore, he is very happy to reward the generals who have made meritorious contributions in Guanzhong. After all, it was they who defeated Qi Wannian. Moreover, he can also take this opportunity to learn some about the battle from the generals who fought in Guanzhong in person, which is much more interesting than listening to the story.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hui couldn't help but smirk.

Chu Wangwei stood up and said: "Your Majesty, minister, there is a play!" ”

Emperor Hui hurriedly said: "King Chu, please speak!" ”

Chu Wangwei chuckled lightly and said loudly: "Your Majesty! General Zhou of Anxi, Wei Qi of the Central Guard, Sima Ting of the Xiao Cavalry, Sima Ji of the Yamen Army and Sima Shang of the Right Army of the Central Guard were waiting outside the palace for the emperor to summon them. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Hui waved his hand again and again: "Xuan! ”

The shout of Dong Meng, the middle attendant, sounded again in the Taiji Palace: "Xuan ~ General Zhou of Anxi, Wei Qi of the Central Guard, Sima Ting of the Xiao Cavalry, Sima Ji of the Yamen Army and Sima Shang of the Right Army of the Central Guard entered the hall to meet him. ”

Zhou Chu and the others were already waiting outside the Taiji Palace, and when they heard it, they hurriedly walked all the way to the hall, and shouted loudly: "General Zhou Chu, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

Emperor Hui looked at the five people waiting for His Highness to pay homage to him with satisfaction, nodded, and said, "You Aiqing is flat." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Sima Ting stood behind Zhou Chu, raised his head and looked at Emperor Hui, only to see that he was wearing a flat crown and a dragon robe, but he also looked good. It's just that his honest smile on his face is incompatible with his dress.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has stood in the Taiji Hall. Although he used to be the captain of the Yi military camp, on the first day of his tenure, he was assassinated. Although he was inexplicably healed later, hundreds of forbidden soldiers saw his blood-covered and seriously injured appearance that night, so they had to pretend to be seriously injured and stay in the palace of the king of Chu. Later, he was directly transferred out of the Yi military camp and led the army into the customs to fight Qi Wannian.

Thinking of this, Sima Ting couldn't help but sigh: Alas, since he came to Luoyang, all kinds of troublesome things have come one after another! How can you come at ease when you are in Jingzhou!

Emperor Hui smiled and waved his hand, and Dong Meng, the regular attendant, took a holy decree from the little eunuch's hand and read it out: "In April of the first year of Yuankang, the wolf ambition of Qi Wannian was disobedient to Wang Hua, and he dared to raise troops in Guanzhong and rob and kill Zhao Wanglun!" Later, he raised troops and disturbed the Guanzhong ......"

Sima Ting recalled Dong Meng's harsh voice in his ears, and when he was bored, his eyes were glancing around. I only feel that this Tai Chi Hall is indeed built majestic, magnificent, showing the royal style!

The first person standing on the right among the courtiers is Chu Wangwei! Most of the generals who followed him were wearing military crowns. Standing on the left were a group of ministers led by Wang Liang of Runan and Tai Baowei, nearly half of whom were already gray-haired old men. The two classes are also distinct!

"Crowned General Anxi Zhou as the general of the chariot cavalry, Pingxi Hou, Ci Kaifu, Yitong three divisions......"

"Crowning the Central Protector Wei Qi as the general of the army......"

General Sanpin. However, the general of the Zhonghu Army of Wei Qi is the third grade, but there are just more song titles.

"Sealing the horseman Sima Ting......"

When Sima Ting heard his name, he immediately pricked up his ears, only to see Dong Meng continue to read: "For General Long Xiang!" Feng Xiao Guohou! Give a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred thousand ...... of money."

Not...... General Long Xiang? It's also a general of the third grade, hehe's good, and there's a marquis's title.

"Sealing the tooth gate general Sima Ji as an auxiliary general......"

is still a three-rank general, and today's three-rank general has become so worthless? You must know that the history of a state assassin is an official title of the fourth grade.

A long edict of reward was read for an hour before it was finished, and Sima Ting also felt relieved.

Several people all paid homage and thanked him: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Emperor Hui smirked and asked, "No need to be polite." General Zhou, can you tell us about your killing of Qi Wannian? I've heard a wonderful story. ”

"This ......" Zhou pondered for a moment, quickly exchanged glances with Chu Wangwei, and after getting Chu Wangwei's affirmation, he leaned over and said: "Back to the emperor, the battle to kill Qi Wannian was planned by General Long Xiang, and I also ask General Long Xiang to tell His Majesty and the ministers about what happened at that time." ”

Emperor Hui hummed lightly, and then said with doubts on his face: "Which one is General Long Xiang?" ”

Sima Ting stepped forward with a smile and said, "General Sima Ting, meet the emperor!" ”

"Sima Ting? ......" When Emperor Hui heard this name, his eyes showed a contemplative look, he lowered his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly realized, in the surprised eyes of the ministers, he raised his head and pointed at Sima Ting and smiled: "It turns out that you are Sima Ting!" Well, not bad, not bad! The gods are handsome, and the appearance is dignified! No wonder Princess Qinghe doesn't think about cooking for you, she is haggard, and she threatens to go on a hunger strike and refuses to marry Yuwen Xianbei and his relatives! ”

As soon as Emperor Hui said this, the Taiji Hall became silent. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Sima Ting also stood in the hall dumbfounded, only to feel that the ministers of the court and the central government had cast ambiguous eyes on him, and he couldn't help but hate him in his heart. This Emperor Hui is really speechless! I really dare to say anything in the court.

I thought that in the past half a year, the "good story" between myself and Princess Qinghe that was popular in Luoyang at that time had faded with the wind. can be made by Emperor Hui like this, and he has to stand on the cusp of the storm. He didn't dare to imagine that after retiring from the dynasty today, how many gossips would start to circulate in Luoyang City!

Chu Wangwei was only afraid that Emperor Hui, a living treasure, would not break out about the harem, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Enlighten the emperor, the minister has his own music!" ”

Emperor Hui was a little unhappy when he saw that Chu Wangwei came out to stop him from listening to Sima Ting's story, but Chu Wangwei made a decision to kill in the court, and Emperor Hui was already afraid of Chu Wangwei. Seeing Chu Wangwei standing up, he had to put away his careful thoughts, and said helplessly: "King Chu, please speak!" ”
