Chapter 45: Fighting the Party and Blaming the General (1)
Wan Heshun undoubtedly won the victory in this struggle. He doesn't have too much hope at the moment, but he looks at the emperor's car cover.
Under the noisy sound of gongs and drums, the emperor's honor guard was divided into several teams, stretching for miles back and forth, standing outside the city, and there was no end in sight.
Wan Heshun and Lu Fangxuan, Ye Yongjia and other Nanjing officials came to greet the car, about 100 people, kneeling in front of the car, shouting long live, not spectacular.
The king of Wanjun has not seen the emperor for a long time, and the last time he visited the shrine, His Majesty the emperor was still an ignorant child, and it has been twenty or thirty years now, and he is thinking about seeing the holy face again; But the wheels ran over the red carpet and walked silently.
Wan Heshun didn't care, after all, the emperor was going to his own mansion, so he would naturally be able to meet him then. He didn't think much about it, so he left with Ye Yongjia and Lu Fangxuan.
Wan Heshun prepared more than a dozen tables of meals in the living room, all of which are available in Nanjing, including delicacies from the mountains and seas, cattle, sheep, fish and shrimp, all on land and water.
The first to walk through the garden and into the living room was Liu Zhennian.
Wan Heshun was walking at the door, raised his head, and took a look at him. The two looked at each other in silence. Liu Zhennian wore a red python robe, a thick ivory belt around his waist, a tall and strong figure, his beard was white and silvery, and there were a few dark and brown spots on his face.
He hadn't seen this old face in a long time, but it hadn't changed, it was still the same face he couldn't forget.
When such a pair of enemies met, their feelings were obviously complicated, and both of them were extremely stunned, and they didn't know how to speak.
Liu Zhennian first relieved himself, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Lord Wanwang! I haven't seen you for many years, and you and I have all become old men! ”
Wan Heshun also took out a kind smile and leaned over to salute: "General Liu, how dare Wan accept the word 'prince' and call you a brother and a brother......
"Huizhi is still so modest," Liu Zhennian said, "I heard that the people here worship you as a father, but I am questioned in Beijing; The work of the Asari is not easy to do, or you are at ease in Nanjing. ”
"The general is sincere for the country, and those people don't understand the deep meaning of the public, but they are happy and convinced." When Wan Heshun said this, he changed his words: "After Wan, in front of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, he will solve problems for you and clear your grievances." General Liu must let the emperor come and sit, not only full of brilliance, but also a word of loyalty. ”
Liu Zhennian laughed a few times: "Wan Gong is really a good minister of the country. Rest assured. ”
The two waited for a long time, and the officials wore formal clothes and went to the banquet one after another, the voices gradually became noisy, and the number of people gradually became uniform. There are many important people among them, and it is necessary to introduce them here.
There was a thin official sitting in the first seat at the west end, his surname was Gui, his name was Fu, he was a figure in the Privy Council of the Central Committee of the DPRK, and last year he was added to the rank of lieutenant, and he was in awe at home and abroad, and he was full of fame. He started by climbing the Liu Party, although he has little ability in Liu Zhennian's henchmen, but his family has been an official for three generations, and his power in the court is strong, and he can make the consciousness of surrendering to sincerity, and the high-ranking official Houlu is a matter of course.
Sitting in the second seat at the east end, second only to Liu Zhennian, is Yan Wen's brother, called Yan Liang, the word Wenzao, the official residence and the official department, and his brother are the top strategists of the Liu Party, and now Yan Wen is staying in Beijing, he is the only one who can be counted on by Liu Zhennian on this trip.
Only the emperor has not yet arrived. Wan Heshun was impatient, stood up anxiously, and asked Liu Zhennian kindly, "Why didn't the emperor invite him?" ”
Liu Zhennian was a little flustered when he saw that he asked so bluntly, but after glancing at Yan Liang's eyes, he calmly replied: "The emperor is being served by Gonggong Shen, and I don't know the situation. In this way, Yan Shilang, you can take a look with me. ”
"Yes." Yan Liang left the table and withdrew from the hall with Liu Zhennian.
Walking into the garden, Yan Shilang confirmed that there was no one around, and sat down in front of the rockery with Liu Zhennian.
"Wenzao, I don't plan to let him see the emperor, but please have an idea." Liu Zhen Nian Road.
Yan Liang bowed and said: "This trip to Nanjing is to observe the movements of the two thieves, and we must not let them strike first." Therefore, the Son of Heaven does not need to be ordered, if he takes the opportunity to make trouble, he may endanger the overall situation. The general can beg His Majesty to move to another room, and then order Wan Heshun to bring out one or two tables of dishes, saying that the emperor is slightly unwell, and ask the eunuchs, forbidden soldiers and others to eat in the other room with the emperor. What do you think? ”
Liu Zhennian slapped his thigh: "This plan is feasible!" You go and tell Eunuch Shen, and I'll talk to Wan Heshun about them. ”
Yan Liang got the order, and when he walked to the corner door, he saw that Liu Zhennian had returned to the living room.
"Who are you?"
Yan Liang was still standing there stupidly, and when he heard this sharp voice, he suddenly turned around and saw that it was Lu Fangxuan, the Duke of Yueguo.
"Oh, it's sent by the imperial court, Yan Liang, the servant of the ministry." Yan Shilang was busy.
Lu Fangxuan didn't speak, only looked him up and down a few times, which made Yan Liang feel cold.
"Yan Shilang, you go." Lu Fangxuan said, pressed his shoulder, and walked in the direction of the living room.
Shi Xiushen and more than a dozen forbidden soldiers were guarding the door, seeing Shen actually coming from a distance, he was arrogant, and motioned to the soldiers on both sides to dodge, those people did not dare to offend this Shen manager, and walked away one after another without waiting for Shi Siban's orders.
"What for?" Shi Xiushen crossed his waist, "Gonggong Shen said. ”
Shen Jing snorted at him, squinted his eyes and said, "General Liu has an order, send me to move the emperor to another room and eat this banquet of Wan Heshun." ”
Shi Xiushen walked to the side and pointed to the wooden door: "The emperor is resting inside, just say it." ”
Shen actually knocked on the door, raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Wan Heshun has set up a banquet, please eat." However, the hall was chaotic, and it was afraid of disturbing His Majesty's tranquility, so General Liu asked the emperor to move to another room and carry the food over. ”
There was only the sound of the wind and grass around.
After a while, the sparrow landed on the eaves and crowed.
"Just do as General Liu said," said the emperor, "Shi Siban, take the people, let's go." ”
"Yes." Shi Xiushen bent down to the door, then beckoned all the guards and followed the emperor to move.
"What's going on?" Wan Heshun suppressed his anger and tried his best to look at Liu Zhennian with a flat gaze, looking at everything in front of him.
A few little eunuchs slowly lifted the table and stepped out of the threshold cautiously.
"Your Majesty is unwell, and the official has ordered him to move to another house, so that he can be quiet and quiet." Liu Zhennian said in an irrefutable tone.
"Okay, good ......" Wan Heshun couldn't move his temper again, and after saying this, he pouted and ate several pieces of meat in a row.
"Move another table!" An old eunuch shouted sternly outside the door, and the little eunuchs came to bring another table of food.
