Chapter 519: Seating
Gou Xi sneered: "This is also thanks to Zhao Ju under General Zhao, if he hadn't blocked him on the way, I might have been able to fight side by side with General Zhao and take the head of that Wang Mi." ”
"General Gou is afraid that he has misunderstood, I sent Zhao Ju to inspect the counties to suppress bandits, how could he stop General Gou?" Zhao Hanzhang turned to smile and said: "But this may be the will of heaven, the will of heaven let me advance Luoyang, the will of heaven let me save the emperor, and it was also the will of heaven that made me kill Wang Mi." ”
Zhao Hanzhang's show-off made Gou Xi's anger rise again, but he suppressed it and sneered: "It is indeed the will of heaven, congratulations to General Zhao for his great achievements, but I don't know who the will of heaven will stand on next." ”
Fu Yi rode between the two of them, listening to their verbal battles, sitting still like Mount Tai, but his heart kept sinking.
Before, the king of the East China Sea and Gou Xi were not on good terms, and Gou Xi was square and loyal, I thought that the situation would be good if the king of the East China Sea died, but now it has become Gou Xi and Zhao Hanzhang are not on good terms.
Alas~~
Fu Yi sighed deeply, feeling sorry for himself and His Majesty, such a chaotic situation, I don't know when I will be able to settle down.
Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi arrived at the palace gate together not very harmoniously, and the 10,000 troops brought by Gou Xi stood up on half the street, but Gou Xi and Gou Chun looked up and saw that many soldiers stood up one after another in the streets and alleys next to the main street, all wearing the armor of the Zhao family army and the Yuzhou army.
On one side of the street, the houses were almost burned down, so that they could see more clearly, and some of the soldiers still had bowls in their hands, and did not line up, but they just stared at them, but they just felt a sense of slaughter.
Zhao Hanzhang's face sank, and he shouted loudly: "What are you doing, when you celebrate the New Year at home, eat a meal until now?" ”
When Xun Xiu heard this, he immediately shouted, "Line up-"
The soldiers immediately stuffed the bowls in their hands, and the tithes converged, and they lined up in the streets and alleys in just a dozen breaths, staring at Zhao Hanzhang solemnly.
Zhao Erlang slipped back first after Zhang Tao led the troops away, he disliked his sister and they walked slowly, so he held the bowl and ate halfway, heard the shout, and held the bowl and stuffed it into his arms for a while, and it was not right to carry it on his back, so he could only grab the rice balls and stuff them into his arms, and then buckle them with the bowl, and quickly ran to the front of the army to stand.
There's no way, he's also a general now, and he has to stand in front of the army.
His cheeks were bulging with the rice he had just stuffed in, and he hadn't had time to chew or swallow it.
The position where he was standing happened to be facing Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Hanzhang directly looked away and didn't want to look.
Fu Tinghan felt that he was like a rabbit, and couldn't help but smile, seeing him staring at him innocently with a tense face, Fu Tinghan said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Come into the palace quickly, the emperor is still waiting." ”
Zhao Hanzhang turned his head to Gou Xi and said, "General Gou, please." ”
Fu Yi said: "Neither of you is allowed to bring troops into the palace, and you must unload your weapons when you enter the main hall." ”
Gou Chun only felt that this was too much to ask, these courtiers were obviously holding chicken feathers as arrows, and were about to speak, when they saw that Zhao Hanzhang had already thrown the spear to Zeng Yue, and then said to Gou Xi with a smile: "The last person who disobeyed this order was Wang Mi, and then he died." ”
Gou Xi also untied his weapon and strictly ordered Gou Chun to remove his sword.
Gou Chun glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and Fu You, and unloaded the sword with a calm face, he felt that Zhao Hanzhang's move was to help Fu You.
When he entered the palace, someone reported it to the emperor and his ministers early.
The emperor personally led the ministers to stand at the door of the main hall to greet him, Zhao Hanzhang looked up at the emperor on the high steps, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and raised his heels to Fu Yi and Gou Xi.
When she went to the main hall before, the emperor didn't greet her, and when she went to see the emperor in the Ministry of Works with Wang Mi, he sat down safely.
It seems that this emperor really trusts and values Gou Xi, but unfortunately, does he know that the current Gou Xi is no longer the upright, thrifty and loyal Gou Xi of the past?
The emperor saw Gou Xi again after many years, and his eyes couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
The last time they met, Emperor Hui was still alive, and now he is just a trembling imperial brother, no one thinks that he can safely ascend to the throne, and the emperor himself feels that he can't ascend.
There are hundreds of courtiers, but there are not many ministers who can make the emperor trust, Fu Yi is only one, except for Fu Yi, it is Gou Xi.
And Fu Yi can only take care of some internal affairs, he has no soldiers and no power in his hands, and he has to do everything he wants, he has always wanted a trusted minister like Gou Xi to assist him.
It's a pity that he has been controlled by the King of the East China Sea and has not had a chance until today.
Gou Xi was also very excited when he saw the emperor, and he was about to kneel down as soon as he lifted his robe, but the emperor hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but Gou Xi knelt on the ground strongly, "Your Majesty, the minister is too late to save the driver, please surrender your Majesty!" ”
"Aiqing, hurry up, I know you've done your best, how can I blame you?" The emperor pulled Gou Xi up with a touched face and asked, "I heard that there are still Wang Mi's 30,000 troops outside. ”
Gou Xi said: "It's gone." ”
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, held his hand and said: "It's still Aiqing powerful, you have a merit in retreating from the enemy, I ......"
"Your Majesty," Gou Xi hurriedly explained, "Wang Mi's army was ordered by General Zhao to retreat. ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment and immediately looked at Zhao Hanzhang, also with a smile on his face, "Zhao Qing is really resourceful." ”
Zhao Hanzhang responded to this compliment with a smile.
"Then the danger of Luoyang is completely lifted?" The emperor said happily: "Then we have to set up a banquet to celebrate today, and let Zhu Qing see Zhao Qing and Gou Aiqing." ”
Both of them laughed.
said that it was a banquet, but in fact, it was similar to the court meeting, and there were many things to discuss, such as the rewards of Zhao Hanzhang and other soldiers, as well as the relocation of the capital.
There were people in the palace, but there was little food, but Queen Liang still tried her best and led the palace people to make a decent banquet.
The emperor and empress were all dressed up, and the first to sit down were Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, but who should sit on the left?
For this matter, avoiding Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, the courtiers quarreled in the apse for two hours.
Even Zhao Hanzhang, who went back to Zhao's house to freshen up and change clothes, heard about it.
The officials led by Zhao Zhongyu naturally insisted that Zhao Hanzhang sit first, but more people think that Gou Xi's contribution to the country is no less than that of Zhao Hanzhang, and the emperor will definitely rely on Gou Xi more in the future, so he should sit on the left.
In the end, Fu Yi said: "But today is a celebration banquet, Zhao Hanzhang killed Wang Mi and entered Beijing to save the driver, all of which are the first merits, and her merits are unparalleled in the country." ”
Wang Xing, who has been standing quietly outside the circle, also said: "Now the strength of the troops in Beijing is also Zhao Hanzhang, I think she acts in moderation, but she is very decisive, why provoke her in such a trivial matter?" ”
"How can this be a trifle? The seat represents dignity and humility, if she is allowed to be on the left today, then General Gou will fall half a step behind her in the future, and what she does is not justified. ”
Fu Yi was angry, "What does Gou Xi need to be justified?" ”
He said: "As a Jin minister, as long as you listen to Your Majesty's orders, why fight over such a trivial matter?" ”
